Reviews of comedy specials by Sam Morill and Hannah Berner

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.839
Caloroga Shark Media. Yo, what's
up Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:15.000
Catherine Hahn guest hosted for Jimmy Kimmel, and she said, I've had

3
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.280
an amazing time. I totally get
why Jimmy does this three months out of

4
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:22.679
the year. Jimmy's got a sweet
deal. Even Johnny Carson didn't get the

5
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:26.399
entire summer off. Oh, let's
start with the pink News. You're home

6
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:32.679
for pink news. I guess they're
a headline. Netflix faces backlash after trailer

7
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:37.880
for Joe Rogan's comedy special drops.
Okay, pink News, I'll bite the

8
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:43.280
pink News rights releasing a far from
informative thirty second trailer. That's fair.

9
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:46.240
I mentioned that yesterday there's no jokes
in the trailer. I chose not to

10
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:49.759
play the audio for the trailer because
it doesn't add anything. The streaming service

11
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:53.359
announced that the comedian's first stand up
special on the platform in six years will

12
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:57.759
be called Burn the Boats. Okay, what is the backlash? Well,

13
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:00.439
they found some people on Twitter.
You can fine people on Twitter who don't

14
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.799
like anything. One social media user
wrote, I'm not at all surprised by

15
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:10.480
Netflix continuing to give the absolutely worst
people a platform. Well, I could

16
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:14.719
give you a list of names of
people who have specials on Netflix, and

17
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.319
it's a pretty diverse group of comedians. Some you might like, some you

18
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:23.879
might not like. Another person called
Joe Rogan's comedy Special, which comes out

19
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.000
in August, disgusting. Again,
there's no clips in the trailer. How

20
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:32.000
do you know it's not the most
progressive comedy special you've ever heard? Can

21
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:36.040
we at least see it first?
Another commented f Yeah, I can't wait

22
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:41.280
to hear what poor or undeserved communities
are annoying him. That's the backlash against

23
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.840
Joe Rogan. Stay tuned. Hey, I like backlash. It's good for

24
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.400
content. Today, I don't need
content. There is plenty Sam Morrel's News

25
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:53.079
special, and boy, I hope
you like Samurel News because I seriously,

26
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.799
I was doing the show PRIP today
and chopped up Sam stories. I have

27
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.200
a Sam story almost every day into
late next week, and that doesn't even

28
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:06.400
include these Sam stories I slept for
when I have a travel day coming up

29
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:08.520
in the future. There's a lot
of Sam. He spoke to Deadline.

30
00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:12.479
I'll tell you what I think of
Sam Special in a second. Sam how

31
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.599
you feeling about your New Hour?
Sam said, I feel pretty good.

32
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.960
You never know until it's out how
people feel about it. But I feel

33
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.919
better about this special on my last
one by a pretty good amount. Why

34
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:23.759
is that, Sam, I had
way more time to tour with this one.

35
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:25.680
Last time. I rushed it a
little bit. Also, it was

36
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:30.240
just a weird time. I went
from putting out an airtight special. I

37
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.319
got this on YouTube and then covid
hit and I was rusty and I didn't

38
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.680
want to lose my mind. So
I ended up doing a special on rooftops

39
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.080
and I was still pretty rusty.
I toured a bit after that, but

40
00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:39.439
it took a while to get the
mojo back, and then I put one

41
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:42.639
out on Netflix. I could tour
with a New Hour in the fall,

42
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:45.599
and that's what became this. That
was twenty twenty two. So I put

43
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:47.439
out three specials in three years,
which I think is a little too much.

44
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:51.560
Sam. Is there an underlying theme
to this new one, which is

45
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.360
called You've Changed? Sam said?
I unfortunately never have a theme really,

46
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:58.400
or at least I don't start with
a theme. Sometimes one emerges. I

47
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.800
always admire someone like Colin Quoyn and
who's like this one's the Constitution, this

48
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.159
one's the history of the world.
I think it's awesome, but it's not

49
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:06.520
how I write. I'm learning how
to write in chunks a little more.

50
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.120
I've become a little more obsessive.
I think it's because of my ADD.

51
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:12.199
I think most comics of add it's
like your mind has to wonder a little

52
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.479
bit, but then you become weirdly
obsessive on certain topics. At least that's

53
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:17.280
how I am. So I'll find
something and I'm hooked on and that'll give

54
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:22.319
me a few more minutes of material
time out. Wait do I sometimes get

55
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.800
obsessive on things like I don't know
Joe Koy or Bob's Burgers or menus.

56
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.800
And I'm not a comedian. Sam
says, I once saw David Tell do

57
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:31.240
a late night sent on conaback in
the day, and he did joke up

58
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:34.879
top of killed. He goes,
I've proven I'm funny, and then he

59
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.360
did his stuff. I kind of
think every comic is thinking, just prove

60
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:38.719
you're funny. I did a few
dating jokes, a quick travel story,

61
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:40.800
and then it was off to the
races. You kind of do whatever you

62
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:45.039
want once you prove it. But
I think any social commentary I want to

63
00:03:45.120 --> 00:03:47.360
usually be at least ten minutes in
before I want to earn it. All

64
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:52.479
right, So I watched Sam's special
and it is one of the best of

65
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:54.840
the year. I'll give you my
updated list in the other side of my

66
00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:00.560
review of Hannah Berner. But Sam
a very strong special. I laughed out

67
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.840
loud a few times. I've mentioned
on this podcast before I'm a psychopath who

68
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:06.919
usually doesn't laugh at comedy. He's
a great storyteller, and there are some

69
00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:10.479
good headfakes which I find that I
like in a joke. So you think

70
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:12.919
you're going down one road and there's
a sharp red turn, That's where the

71
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:16.600
laughs come from. I also watched
Hannah Berner. PUJB reviewed it. Emma

72
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:20.639
Chance was the writer of the article
under the headline we write at Dawn comedian

73
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:25.360
Hannah Burner is the most annoying girl
you know. This by Emma Chance.

74
00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:29.040
Emma Chance writes, if you've never
heard of Hannah Burner, you've probably never

75
00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:30.879
seen Summer House or scroll TikTok until
you're ret in his blood. So I

76
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.959
salute you. If you have heard
of Hannah Burner, you're probably not her

77
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:38.920
biggest fan. She was on Summer
House for three seasons, during which she

78
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.959
made enemies of almost everyone except Paige
and Clara, the former being the co

79
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.879
host of her podcast, Gigli Squad. Her trajectory was that a former tennis

80
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.399
pro turn podcaster turned stand up comedian, Hanna said, I've always really like

81
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:53.480
reality TV, but doing it left
a bad taste in my mouth. She

82
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.959
stumbled into stand up when she did
a live recording of her then podcast Burning

83
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:59.040
in a Hell at a comedy club. I did ten minutes of stand up.

84
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:00.920
What you're not supposed to do in
front three hundred people, you first

85
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:02.160
time, but ignorance this bliss.
At the end of my show, my

86
00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:04.680
reality TV friends were like, Ooh, this is what you're meant to do.

87
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:09.639
Her Netflix special, We Ride at
Dawn. You know Netflix, they

88
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:14.120
keep giving specials to horrible people like
Joe Rogan and Hannah Berner write Pink News

89
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:16.279
m Yeah, see what I did
there? That's what I did there?

90
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:20.040
You see you see how this works. Hannah Burner special covers her mental health,

91
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:23.800
her older husband, on realistic sex
scenes in movies, and other hot

92
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.920
takes about pop culture. She describes
her sense of humorous female locker room where

93
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.120
the girls are like, thank god
she's saying these things. The men are

94
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.720
like, I actually learned some stuff. Translation, she's the most annoying girl

95
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:35.480
you went to high school with,
the one who said she didn't identify as

96
00:05:35.519 --> 00:05:40.000
a girl's girl because girls love drama
and boys are so much more chill,

97
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:45.079
All right, Johnny Mack, did
you like the special? No, here's

98
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:46.839
my impression of the special. Ladies
and gentlemen, Hannah Burner, Hey,

99
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:53.360
everybody, whoooooo, I have a
premise to set up here. Whooooo,

100
00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:57.800
why did the chicken cross the road
to get the other side? Whoo Oh,

101
00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:00.120
my goodness, tell a joke,
crowd, Let her tell a joke.

102
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:04.480
I bailed. Now. My daughter, who is in the target audience

103
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:08.399
for Hannam and was looking forward to
the special. She came downstairs and told

104
00:06:08.439 --> 00:06:11.519
me it started a little slow,
but the back half of the special is

105
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:14.920
really good. So daughter liked it
a lot, and she's the target audience.

106
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:18.600
Not all comedies for everyone. I
get it. Old man didn't like

107
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:24.360
it, young woman liked it.
So whatever you think there, not for

108
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:26.879
me, but definitely for her.
She liked it a lot, So I

109
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.800
guess this is a good time to
take a look at the updated rankings.

110
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:31.519
I'll just do the top tier here, I won't do the whole list.

111
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:35.360
So here are the top specials of
the year. Roaster Tom Brady Netflix is

112
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:40.800
number one. Dave Tel's Hot Cross
Buns on Netflix. That's David Tel showing

113
00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:45.639
how It's done. That's also on
Netflix. Triumph You Lucky Bastards on YouTube

114
00:06:45.680 --> 00:06:47.199
that came out in March. That's
three. David Cross's Worst Daddy in the

115
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.720
World. That's on YouTube. That
was number one for a little bit on

116
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:55.399
my Little list. Dusty slay Back
in Netflix in January at five, Kyle

117
00:06:55.519 --> 00:07:00.000
Kanan's Dirt Nap on YouTube in April, a all time chunk about the Fat

118
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:01.399
and the Furious. There if nothing
else, watched The Fast and the Furious

119
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:05.480
Chunk, Sam Morrel, You've Changed
on Amazon at number seven, Dmet You

120
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:10.720
morton Netflix at eight, Jimmy Carr
Natural Born Killer, also from Netflix at

121
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:14.519
nine, and that's the end of
tier one. Hannah Berner did not make

122
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.879
the list at all, but again
not for a fifty four year old dude.

123
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:20.720
Young woman in her twenties living her
best life. She liked it.

124
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:26.680
So figure out which kind of comedy
fan you are and adjust your expectations accordingly.

125
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:29.759
Well, I'm already long here.
Scott Beckett, front of the show,

126
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:31.480
had sent me this Jerry Seinfeld thing. I had this here, Scott,

127
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.920
but I'm gonna bump that to tomorrow. So this one is in twenty

128
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:38.879
minutes long. A lot of news
going on. Ella Degenerous on one of

129
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:42.079
her recent stand up shows that wasn't
canceled. In case you missed this,

130
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:46.279
she recently canceled a couple of dates. Johnny Mack speculating that perhaps possibly it

131
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:49.279
could be a situation where who knows, you never know, Maybe the ticket

132
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:51.160
sales were a little light, and
Ellen was like, oh, I have

133
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:55.480
a cold. You never know.
Shows get canceled for all kinds of reasons.

134
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:59.480
But she did perform at the Luther
Burbank Center for the Arts in Santa

135
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.480
Rosa. One fan asked Ellen would
she returned to movies after the tour ended,

136
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.639
or perhaps try her hand at Broadway. Ellen said no, quite.

137
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:09.800
Matter of Factully, this is the
last time you're going to see me after

138
00:08:09.839 --> 00:08:13.759
my Netflix special. I'm done,
And she apparently doesn't mean done with comedy,

139
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.800
she means done with showbiz. Another
fan asked Ellen to once again voice

140
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.839
Dory from Finding Nemo, and Ellen
said, no, I'm going bye bye.

141
00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.040
Remember during the Santa Rosa show,
Ellen said, let me catch you

142
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:28.560
up on what's been going on with
me since you last saw me. I

143
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:31.399
got chickens. Oh yeah, I
got kicked out of show business for being

144
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:33.799
mean. She admitted she can be
demanding and impatient and tough. I'm a

145
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:37.360
strong woman. I am many things, but I am not mean. I

146
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.879
used to say I don't care what
people say about me. Now I realize

147
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:43.559
I said that during the height of
my popularity. During a previous stop on

148
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.559
the tour in West Hollywood, Ellen
said it was so hurtful how her show

149
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.399
came to an end. I just
thought, well, this is not the

150
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:50.399
way I want to end my career, but this is the way it's ending.

151
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:54.000
I just hated the way the show
ended. I love that show so

152
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.759
much, and I just hated the
last time people would see me is that

153
00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:58.720
way. So I guess the last
time people will see her is this way.

154
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:03.799
Her tour continues through August seventeenth.
If you're in Detroit today, Dave

155
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:09.919
Chappelle is doing a fundraiser for US
Senate candidate Hill Harper. Tickets were ranging

156
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.039
from two fifty for the balcony to
thirty three hundred for those who wanted to

157
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.720
attend a VIP reception. All right, don't forget. On Monday, that

158
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:22.039
new podcast, The Artist A Killer's
Canvas makes its debut rated R for mature

159
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.639
audiences only. I've been doing some
writing on that one. Got to the

160
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.679
deepest, darkest parts of my brain. Even I'm like, what the heck

161
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.360
did we just write? And I
sent it over to Mark and Mark makes

162
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.559
the episodes and he was like,
this is really good. I'm like,

163
00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:35.399
are you sure. He's like,
yeah, this is really good. So

164
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.039
that's The Artist A Killer's Canvas.

187
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.840
The capture was brutal today, Hey, can you identify any squirrees with

188
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:56.679
a motorcycle? That he did a
million times? So let's thanks some people

Von Aaron Scott, Liz, Travis Crosby,

190
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:09.360
and the members Tommy Andrea, Gary
Shannon, Mike and Kenny. Kenny.

191
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.039
I was thinking of you again recently. I was back at that Starbucks

192
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:15.639
in California. We sometimes email about. I find myself with that one a

193
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:16.759
lot, and I think of you
every time I'm there. I hope you're

194
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:22.000
doing well. Shrek five is officially
a go. It will star Mike Myers,

195
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:26.399
comedian Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz. It's twenty five years after original

196
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.879
Shrek. Don't get online just yet. It's not out until July first,

197
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.799
twenty twenty six. The Committee to
Protect Journalists have announced that John Oliver will

198
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:39.519
host their twenty twenty four International Press
Freedom Awards. These are in New York

199
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.799
City November twenty first. That's on
the other side of the election. That

200
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:45.559
could be fun, one way or
another. In a press release, John

201
00:11:45.600 --> 00:11:48.720
Oliver said, I'm delighted to join
the Committee to Protect Journalists on the Big

202
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:52.840
Snight for Press Freedom to champion journalists
during harrowing times for democracy as they are

203
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:56.440
threatened, we're taken for granted.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter back

204
00:11:56.440 --> 00:12:01.200
in April, John Oliver reminded us
that his ship was not journalism. He

205
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.799
said, we might commit sporadic acts
of journalism in the process, but those

206
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.960
would be outliers. The vast majority
of the time, we're relying on journalist's

207
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:11.440
work to aggregate stories. Without them, we just couldn't do it. If

208
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:15.639
you're on eight hundred Pound Guerrilla's YouTube
channel tonight at seven pm Central Time,

209
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:20.480
Jen Fullwire's Maternal Instinct will premiere this
weekend. I have an interview with the

210
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:22.679
guys from eight hundred Pound Gorilla.
It's already on the can. I did

211
00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:26.320
not ask them why they were these
things at Central time. I wish I

212
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:30.200
had. Oh well, that's your
comedy news or today see tomorrow
