1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.080
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your

2
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:14.039
daily comedy news Now. Yesterday, Johnny Mack, you told us

3
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:16.280
today was gonna be good because you said Sunday was

4
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:18.359
a slow news day and you held some stories back.

5
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:21.280
So there's I expectations on this Monday show here, you

6
00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:25.800
better bring it pal okay challenge excepted. Tim Hidecker is

7
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:30.440
making a full length Tony Hinchcliff parody called Kill Timmy.

8
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:34.039
I love this already. This is the greatest idea ever.

9
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:38.320
Did you ever catch Tim Hidecker's Rogan parody? He did

10
00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:41.079
a fake Joe Rogan experience where they just talked about

11
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:43.679
nothing for and then he looped it. It was like something absurd,

12
00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:46.960
like twelve hours long. It was fantastic. No, I didn't

13
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:48.439
listen to the whole twelve hours, but I listened to

14
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:50.960
whatever they actually created before it looped. And if you

15
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:53.560
didn't pay attention, you didn't notice it looped. It was

16
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.799
about an hour or so. Look at that up. It

17
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.719
is fantastic. That's Tim Hidecker. All right? What is Tim

18
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:02.920
Hidecker working on? Cracked Reports? After coming out in support

19
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:06.239
of Tony Hinchcliff's in your face f your race style

20
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.000
of humor. Heidecker is now launching his own Austin, Texas

21
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:15.200
live show, Kill Timmy in the surprisingly robust market for

22
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:20.000
podcasts where millionaires emotionally abuse open micers. Cracks perfectly not

23
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:23.079
loaded at all. Article explains direct quote here. In the

24
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.280
days following Hinchcliffe's inexplicable decision to go on stage at

25
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.400
the most high profile arena in the world and insult

26
00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:30.959
black people Latino families in the entire island of Puerto

27
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.519
Rico with f Tier two thousand and six four chan

28
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:38.359
level punchlines, Hinchcliff defended his performance at the Trump rally

29
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.040
is a defiant celebration of free speech. Just days after

30
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:46.040
the MSG debacle, Hidecker sarcastically supported Hinchcliff's comedy on his

31
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.319
own podcast, saying I love Rose comedy. Rose comedy is

32
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:51.840
the highest form of entertainment, in the highest form of comedy.

33
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.319
Highecker called Hinchcliff the king of Rose comedy, saying what

34
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.599
a genius. He's just funny and mean. If you can't

35
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.000
handle it, I'm sorry. I don't have time for that stuff.

36
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.319
You gotta have testicles of brass if you want to

37
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.200
get in the Hinchcliff Octagon, the idea that this was

38
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.560
a roast. That's what he does. He's a roast master.

39
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:09.759
He doesn't bring up Rudy Giuliani, he doesn't bring up

40
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:11.960
Q and On, he doesn't bring up Donald Trump. High

41
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.479
Decker had turned critical, saying like, aren't you supposed to

42
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.039
roast the people there? You're telling me you can't come

43
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.599
up with a Rudy Giuliani joke. Well, if you go

44
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:22.000
to Tim Hidecker's YouTube page, there is a teaser for

45
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.199
Kill Timmy. It looks like they've already filmed this thing.

46
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:27.960
It just says coming soon. I am not playing any

47
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:31.240
audio for you because it's just a music loop. On Instagram,

48
00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:34.280
the description says you snowflakes are not ready for Kill Timmy,

49
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:38.520
but listen anyway at the Patreon. Meanwhile, remember Tony was

50
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.840
on WWE Raw last Monday. He had made the comment

51
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.719
about wrestler big E. The joke being the only thing

52
00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:48.680
stiffer than Michael Cole the announcer is big E's neck.

53
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.879
Biggie had responded to it in the post show. Biggee

54
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.759
has not wrestled in some time due to a neck injury,

55
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:58.479
although says, look, I'm not hurt. I'm good. I want

56
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:00.560
the discourse to be had without me. Honestly, I really

57
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:02.479
had no desire to weigh on this. I didn't sign

58
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:03.960
up for this. It wasn't where this he did, would

59
00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:05.719
he wanted to? People signed off on it. It has nothing

60
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:08.280
to do with me. Well, if you want to see

61
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:11.280
the clip, it had been removed at the time of

62
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:15.599
this recording from the replay of WWE Raw. The joke

63
00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:19.800
was replaced with silence until Pat McAfee says okay. It

64
00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.960
is unclear who made the decision to take out the joke.

65
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:26.080
Was it WWE, was it Netflix? Perhaps even Tony himself.

66
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:30.400
It remains unclear. Thanks to Matthew for sticking this next

67
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:33.000
one in the Facebook group, which is Daily Comedy News

68
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:36.240
podcast group. Feel encouraged to join us as my voice

69
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:40.159
gives out. Pat McAfee had a big event in Pittsburgh

70
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:42.960
the other night. Twelve, five hundred and eighty two people

71
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:47.199
attended this thing. Performers included Shane Gillis, Snoop Dogg, Michael

72
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.240
Cole from The Wrestling Thing, The Wrestling Thing, It's WWE.

73
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:51.639
I don't why I've fraiched it that way. Leave it

74
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.599
in jelly roll and there were sumo wrestlers. Shane Gillis

75
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.319
was the referee for the sumo. That's kind of fun.

76
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:02.319
Speaking of Shaney recently shared an anecdote where he ran

77
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:06.680
into Caitlin Clark, the WNBA star. Shane explains, before the show,

78
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:08.439
we were in Indianapolis, and I was like, cou'd be

79
00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:11.240
sick and came to the show. That'd be nice. Then,

80
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:13.080
as I was pacing back and forth between the show

81
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.079
and the green room, Caitlyn Clark walked by. I was like,

82
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:17.279
do you want to hang out in the green room

83
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.879
and she was like, yeah, sure. And recently, on The

84
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.160
Joe Rogan Experience, guest Douglas Murray challenged Joe Rogan over

85
00:04:24.199 --> 00:04:26.439
the types of guests he's been featuring on the podcast.

86
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.720
I listened to this episode last week found it really compelling.

87
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:33.120
Murray questioned Joe Rogan's tendency to have figures on who

88
00:04:33.399 --> 00:04:36.800
just asked questions but may actually be spreading misinformation or

89
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:40.319
speculation under the guise of curiosity. Murray said, there's a

90
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.120
point at which I'm just raising questions isn't valid anymore.

91
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:46.199
You're not asking questions, you're telling people something Rogan said,

92
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:47.720
I don't think about it that way. I just think

93
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.480
i'd like to talk to that person. Pretty good episode.

94
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.279
You'll find that in the feed. Anthony Anderson is calling

95
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.600
out Kevin hard for taking credit for a prank from

96
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:59.240
twenty years ago. Anderson was on Watch What Happens Live,

97
00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:01.199
where apparently they I say a lot of swear words.

98
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:03.399
I'll clean it up here. Anderson said, we were filming

99
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:06.959
scary movie three or four Simon Rex myself, Kevin Hart.

100
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:08.839
Simon played a tricks. I wanted to get him back,

101
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:11.000
so I shut off all the water in his trailer,

102
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:14.480
and I took a number two in his toilet and

103
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.319
I went outside and I just sat there and watched

104
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:18.399
it baked all day. And then he went in there

105
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:20.199
and he couldn't flush it because I turned all the

106
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:23.839
water off. You know what's fed up, Kevin Hart Fu

107
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.040
because you took credit for my prank. I'm telling the

108
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:28.839
world right now, I did it, and Kevin took credit

109
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:32.319
for it. Dave Chappelle will be at the Abu Dhabi

110
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:36.720
Comedy Festival. This thing runs from April to July. Can

111
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:38.399
I tell my wife I have to go cover the

112
00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:40.600
Abu Dhabi Comedy Festival will be gone for three months.

113
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:42.480
Who's letting the dogs out? I don't know the answer.

114
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:46.040
Big line up, Dave Chappelle, Trevor Noah Prank, credit stealer,

115
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:51.120
Kevin Hart, Gabe Iglesias, Pete Davidson, and Bill Burr and

116
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:55.439
Moore to be announced resale tomorrow if you want to go.

117
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.439
Speaking of Bill Burr, he will not be winning a

118
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:00.720
Best Performance by an Actor and a Few Role for

119
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:05.319
his role in Glengarry Glenn Ross. Deadline reports that all

120
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:08.920
three leads, Karan Kulkin, Bob Odenkirk and Bill Burr are

121
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.600
each being considered eligible in the Best Performance by an

122
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.279
Actor in a featured role that is the Tony equivalent

123
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.720
of a supporting actor Oscar. Deadline and theater enthusiasts were

124
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:21.560
curious why the committee are not listing them as lead actors,

125
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:24.399
considering they're listed above the show title in the playbill.

126
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.360
The committee does not discuss or explain its decisions. Deadline

127
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.600
has reached out, I'll let you know if they hear anything.

128
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.360
Huh was that not a good first half? I told

129
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:37.279
you yesterday I held stuff back. My voice is shot,

130
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.160
though I don't know how long we're hanging around here today.

131
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:41.800
I'll try and muddle through. Let's see what's happening at Moontower.

132
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:46.120
At Moontower today, April fourteenth. Nothing. Why do he edit

133
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:49.240
that out, John, because that's not fun, Sarah Silverman told

134
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.079
the I News. I hate to say it, but Donald

135
00:06:52.079 --> 00:06:54.959
Trump has all the traits of a comedian. He's all charisma.

136
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:56.920
He'll say anything it takes to please any crowd that's

137
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:58.399
in front of him, but he means none of it.

138
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:00.560
Those are the traits of a comedian who does well

139
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:02.399
on the road. That's why last time he was president

140
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:04.560
he never stopped having rallies. He was on the circuit.

141
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:06.240
I want to say, you don't have to be president

142
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:08.360
to throw a party for yourself, you know. Send your

143
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:11.480
letters to Sarah Silverman. All right. The age caught some

144
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:15.160
shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, which reminds me.

145
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.240
Dan Buobleich and I have actually been texting. I had

146
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:22.480
an idea how we could pull off the Melbourne National

147
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:25.120
Comedy Festival twenty twenty six, and I'm like, sleep on

148
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:27.800
this and get back to me. He didn't immediately throw

149
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:29.480
pyes in my direction. He's like, you know what, that

150
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:32.040
could actually work. So we're thinking about it, so we

151
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:35.720
will keep you posting on the Melbourne National Comedy Festival Melbourne,

152
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.040
Florida National Comedy Festival, twenty twenty six. Meanwhile, at the

153
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:43.399
Melbourne Australia International Comedy Festival going on right now. One

154
00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:45.199
of the shows you could have seen had you flown

155
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.759
down there, Haley Edwards, this is just a naughty word

156
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:51.120
S bag. You know what the S stands for? Yeah?

157
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:53.399
Why would you call you a show that? The Age

158
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:56.240
says the title should set expectations of the raw material

159
00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:01.759
s bag is about literal s, metaphoric s, graphic s,

160
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:06.240
but not gratuitous s. The one person show is about

161
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.439
being diagnosed with crous disease. I see what you did there.

162
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:13.000
There's rich material and how it feels to self advocate,

163
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.160
fight for a diagnosis and face the unknown of a

164
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:20.120
chronic illness. Four stars Bronwin cuss as a show at

165
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.680
the Weston until April twentieth. It's called I'll Allow It.

166
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:25.639
The Age tells us Bronwin Cuss as the air of

167
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:28.439
a born racintur. I remember playing Bronwin last year and

168
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.319
enjoying her comedy The CanYa over here. At a party

169
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:33.320
and wind up eavesdropping on For the next hour. She

170
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:36.399
might be describing a horrific bus strip across the United States,

171
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:38.879
or the day her temp job ended with death. But

172
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:40.720
it all feels like an off the cuff anecdote. You're

173
00:08:40.759 --> 00:08:43.559
lucky enough to be let onon four stars, and I'll

174
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.480
do one more because my voice is shot. Scout Boxall's

175
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:49.440
show is God's favorite at the Tower until April twentieth.

176
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:51.679
Scott gets a few things out of the way early on.

177
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.480
They are non binary, they are bipolar, and they are

178
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.279
wearing an odd, dark, floor length garment they could probably

179
00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:59.879
describe as a cassock, although that's not a word they

180
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.600
I wouldn't be like, Hey, that's a cassock, right, What

181
00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:04.720
is a cassock? Like you've heard of it? I feel

182
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.080
like I don't know what a cassock is. Let's look

183
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:10.559
it up. Kassick a full length garment of single color

184
00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:15.120
worn by certain Christian clergy, members of church, choirs, acolytes,

185
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.480
and others having some particular officer role in a church.

186
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:20.240
I would never use the word cassock. No, I disagree

187
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:23.399
with your review. The age boxel tells a single story

188
00:09:23.399 --> 00:09:25.480
about a week and away at a live action role

189
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:28.720
playing wedding in the country, horribly marred by the fact

190
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.279
that they forgot to take their medication along four stars.

191
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:34.120
And that's it. My voice is done. I gotta go,

192
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:36.000
I gotta go have a drink. We had a good

193
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.919
one today. Yesterday, you know, yesterday was kind of Johnny

194
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:40.879
Mack was just kind of filling up a day of punsta.

195
00:09:40.879 --> 00:09:43.799
But today, today, this was high quality comedy news. So

196
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:45.679
therefore I'll meet you back here tomorrow
