Speaker 1 (00:03):
Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
daily comedy news Now. Yesterday, Johnny Mack, you told us
today was gonna be good because you said Sunday was
a slow news day and you held some stories back.
So there's I expectations on this Monday show here, you
better bring it pal okay challenge excepted. Tim Hidecker is

(00:25):
making a full length Tony Hinchcliff parody called Kill Timmy.
I love this already. This is the greatest idea ever.
Did you ever catch Tim Hidecker's Rogan parody? He did
a fake Joe Rogan experience where they just talked about
nothing for and then he looped it. It was like something absurd,
like twelve hours long. It was fantastic. No, I didn't

(00:46):
listen to the whole twelve hours, but I listened to
whatever they actually created before it looped. And if you
didn't pay attention, you didn't notice it looped. It was
about an hour or so. Look at that up. It
is fantastic. That's Tim Hidecker. All right? What is Tim
Hidecker working on? Cracked Reports? After coming out in support
of Tony Hinchcliff's in your face f your race style
of humor. Heidecker is now launching his own Austin, Texas

(01:10):
live show, Kill Timmy in the surprisingly robust market for
podcasts where millionaires emotionally abuse open micers. Cracks perfectly not
loaded at all. Article explains direct quote here. In the
days following Hinchcliffe's inexplicable decision to go on stage at
the most high profile arena in the world and insult
black people Latino families in the entire island of Puerto

(01:31):
Rico with f Tier two thousand and six four chan
level punchlines, Hinchcliff defended his performance at the Trump rally
is a defiant celebration of free speech. Just days after
the MSG debacle, Hidecker sarcastically supported Hinchcliff's comedy on his
own podcast, saying I love Rose comedy. Rose comedy is
the highest form of entertainment, in the highest form of comedy.

(01:52):
Highecker called Hinchcliff the king of Rose comedy, saying what
a genius. He's just funny and mean. If you can't
handle it, I'm sorry. I don't have time for that stuff.
You gotta have testicles of brass if you want to
get in the Hinchcliff Octagon, the idea that this was
a roast. That's what he does. He's a roast master.
He doesn't bring up Rudy Giuliani, he doesn't bring up
Q and On, he doesn't bring up Donald Trump. High
Decker had turned critical, saying like, aren't you supposed to

(02:14):
roast the people there? You're telling me you can't come
up with a Rudy Giuliani joke. Well, if you go
to Tim Hidecker's YouTube page, there is a teaser for
Kill Timmy. It looks like they've already filmed this thing.
It just says coming soon. I am not playing any
audio for you because it's just a music loop. On Instagram,
the description says you snowflakes are not ready for Kill Timmy,
but listen anyway at the Patreon. Meanwhile, remember Tony was

(02:38):
on WWE Raw last Monday. He had made the comment
about wrestler big E. The joke being the only thing
stiffer than Michael Cole the announcer is big E's neck.
Biggie had responded to it in the post show. Biggee
has not wrestled in some time due to a neck injury,
although says, look, I'm not hurt. I'm good. I want
the discourse to be had without me. Honestly, I really

(03:00):
had no desire to weigh on this. I didn't sign
up for this. It wasn't where this he did, would
he wanted to? People signed off on it. It has nothing
to do with me. Well, if you want to see
the clip, it had been removed at the time of
this recording from the replay of WWE Raw. The joke
was replaced with silence until Pat McAfee says okay. It
is unclear who made the decision to take out the joke.

(03:23):
Was it WWE, was it Netflix? Perhaps even Tony himself.
It remains unclear. Thanks to Matthew for sticking this next
one in the Facebook group, which is Daily Comedy News
podcast group. Feel encouraged to join us as my voice
gives out. Pat McAfee had a big event in Pittsburgh
the other night. Twelve, five hundred and eighty two people
attended this thing. Performers included Shane Gillis, Snoop Dogg, Michael

(03:47):
Cole from The Wrestling Thing, The Wrestling Thing, It's WWE.
I don't why I've fraiched it that way. Leave it
in jelly roll and there were sumo wrestlers. Shane Gillis
was the referee for the sumo. That's kind of fun.
Speaking of Shaney recently shared an anecdote where he ran
into Caitlin Clark, the WNBA star. Shane explains, before the show,
we were in Indianapolis, and I was like, cou'd be

(04:08):
sick and came to the show. That'd be nice. Then,
as I was pacing back and forth between the show
and the green room, Caitlyn Clark walked by. I was like,
do you want to hang out in the green room
and she was like, yeah, sure. And recently, on The
Joe Rogan Experience, guest Douglas Murray challenged Joe Rogan over
the types of guests he's been featuring on the podcast.
I listened to this episode last week found it really compelling.

(04:30):
Murray questioned Joe Rogan's tendency to have figures on who
just asked questions but may actually be spreading misinformation or
speculation under the guise of curiosity. Murray said, there's a
point at which I'm just raising questions isn't valid anymore.
You're not asking questions, you're telling people something Rogan said,
I don't think about it that way. I just think
i'd like to talk to that person. Pretty good episode.

(04:50):
You'll find that in the feed. Anthony Anderson is calling
out Kevin hard for taking credit for a prank from
twenty years ago. Anderson was on Watch What Happens Live,
where apparently they I say a lot of swear words.
I'll clean it up here. Anderson said, we were filming
scary movie three or four Simon Rex myself, Kevin Hart.
Simon played a tricks. I wanted to get him back,
so I shut off all the water in his trailer,

(05:11):
and I took a number two in his toilet and
I went outside and I just sat there and watched
it baked all day. And then he went in there
and he couldn't flush it because I turned all the
water off. You know what's fed up, Kevin Hart Fu
because you took credit for my prank. I'm telling the
world right now, I did it, and Kevin took credit
for it. Dave Chappelle will be at the Abu Dhabi

(05:32):
Comedy Festival. This thing runs from April to July. Can
I tell my wife I have to go cover the
Abu Dhabi Comedy Festival will be gone for three months.
Who's letting the dogs out? I don't know the answer.
Big line up, Dave Chappelle, Trevor Noah Prank, credit stealer,
Kevin Hart, Gabe Iglesias, Pete Davidson, and Bill Burr and
Moore to be announced resale tomorrow if you want to go.

(05:55):
Speaking of Bill Burr, he will not be winning a
Best Performance by an Actor and a Few Role for
his role in Glengarry Glenn Ross. Deadline reports that all
three leads, Karan Kulkin, Bob Odenkirk and Bill Burr are
each being considered eligible in the Best Performance by an
Actor in a featured role that is the Tony equivalent
of a supporting actor Oscar. Deadline and theater enthusiasts were

(06:17):
curious why the committee are not listing them as lead actors,
considering they're listed above the show title in the playbill.
The committee does not discuss or explain its decisions. Deadline
has reached out, I'll let you know if they hear anything.
Huh was that not a good first half? I told
you yesterday I held stuff back. My voice is shot,
though I don't know how long we're hanging around here today.

(06:39):
I'll try and muddle through. Let's see what's happening at Moontower.
At Moontower today, April fourteenth. Nothing. Why do he edit
that out, John, because that's not fun, Sarah Silverman told
the I News. I hate to say it, but Donald
Trump has all the traits of a comedian. He's all charisma.
He'll say anything it takes to please any crowd that's
in front of him, but he means none of it.
Those are the traits of a comedian who does well

(07:00):
on the road. That's why last time he was president
he never stopped having rallies. He was on the circuit.
I want to say, you don't have to be president
to throw a party for yourself, you know. Send your
letters to Sarah Silverman. All right. The age caught some
shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, which reminds me.
Dan Buobleich and I have actually been texting. I had
an idea how we could pull off the Melbourne National

(07:22):
Comedy Festival twenty twenty six, and I'm like, sleep on
this and get back to me. He didn't immediately throw
pyes in my direction. He's like, you know what, that
could actually work. So we're thinking about it, so we
will keep you posting on the Melbourne National Comedy Festival Melbourne,
Florida National Comedy Festival, twenty twenty six. Meanwhile, at the
Melbourne Australia International Comedy Festival going on right now. One

(07:43):
of the shows you could have seen had you flown
down there, Haley Edwards, this is just a naughty word
S bag. You know what the S stands for? Yeah?
Why would you call you a show that? The Age
says the title should set expectations of the raw material
s bag is about literal s, metaphoric s, graphic s,
but not gratuitous s. The one person show is about

(08:06):
being diagnosed with crous disease. I see what you did there.
There's rich material and how it feels to self advocate,
fight for a diagnosis and face the unknown of a
chronic illness. Four stars Bronwin cuss as a show at
the Weston until April twentieth. It's called I'll Allow It.
The Age tells us Bronwin Cuss as the air of
a born racintur. I remember playing Bronwin last year and

(08:28):
enjoying her comedy The CanYa over here. At a party
and wind up eavesdropping on For the next hour. She
might be describing a horrific bus strip across the United States,
or the day her temp job ended with death. But
it all feels like an off the cuff anecdote. You're
lucky enough to be let onon four stars, and I'll
do one more because my voice is shot. Scout Boxall's
show is God's favorite at the Tower until April twentieth.

(08:49):
Scott gets a few things out of the way early on.
They are non binary, they are bipolar, and they are
wearing an odd, dark, floor length garment they could probably
describe as a cassock, although that's not a word they
I wouldn't be like, Hey, that's a cassock, right, What
is a cassock? Like you've heard of it? I feel
like I don't know what a cassock is. Let's look
it up. Kassick a full length garment of single color

(09:10):
worn by certain Christian clergy, members of church, choirs, acolytes,
and others having some particular officer role in a church.
I would never use the word cassock. No, I disagree
with your review. The age boxel tells a single story
about a week and away at a live action role
playing wedding in the country, horribly marred by the fact
that they forgot to take their medication along four stars.

(09:31):
And that's it. My voice is done. I gotta go,
I gotta go have a drink. We had a good
one today. Yesterday, you know, yesterday was kind of Johnny
Mack was just kind of filling up a day of punsta.
But today, today, this was high quality comedy news. So
therefore I'll meet you back here tomorrow
