Speaker 1 (00:03):
Caloroga Shark Media. Happy tax Day. I'm Johnny Mack with
your daily comedy news out on Netflix today. Tim Dillon special.
This one called I'm Your Mother. Described as a no
holds bared on, apologetic ride through today's chaos. Tim Dillon
tackles everything from his odd loyalty to the British royal
(00:25):
family to roosting the world's absurdities and more with no filter.
There is a trailer. Let's listen. It's so funny what
we find about in America. We're gonna ban TikTok or
we're not. I don't know. I don't care how you
feel about that. At a certain age, you gotta shut up.
Like I'm thirty nine years old and I have friends
(00:45):
that are still They're like, they can't ban TikTok. I'm
like you, Ralph, sit out, Sit this out. They can't
ban that child's dancy. Yep, Ralph, this looks terrible. Please stop.
Where am I gonna watch children? Dash? All right? Hey enough?
(01:06):
This one was filmed at the comedy Mothership Joe Rogan's
place in Austin, Texas. It seems like it has better
audio than his previous Netflix special. A Real Hero did
that one. The mix on that was just not good.
I am a big fan of Tim Dillon's podcast. I'm
not sure his stand up is as good as his
podcast is, but the podcast is top notch funny. Every
(01:27):
single week, Loreale put out a press release to discuss
their new relationship with Nicky Glazer. My headline here, tap
the breaks. I'm gonna pull out some of the language.
I get it's a press release, but guys, relax with this, Okay.
Nicky has had a great what is it six months
now since the Golden Globes. Not even Nicky's had a
(01:47):
good year going back to the Tom Brady Roast and
the Golden Globes. Get it. She's kind of the it
comedian right now. But we gotta tap the brakes with
some of this language. I will read to you from
the press release. Nicki Glazer partnering with Loreal. Their shared
commitment to pushing boundaries and bringing innovative ideas to life
provided a natural alignment for an authentic partnership between Loreal Professional,
(02:09):
Airlight Pro and Nicki Glazer. All that's fine, All right, here'shere,
I'm gonna start to push back. The Queen of Comedy
shared her thoughts on the partnership the Queen of Comedy?
Are we really going to call Nicki Glazer the Queen
of comedy? I don't know who the Queen of comedy is.
Maybe nobody should have the title right now, but are
we really going to call Nicki Glazer the Queen of comedy?
(02:32):
So all right, relax with the Queen of Comedy, who
shared her thoughts on the partnership's seamless synergy, noting comedy
is all about timing, and so is great hair. I'm
always on the go, and Airlight Pro let's me get
that perfect look for on and off camera performances quickly. Also,
it just feels elite. I mean, the tech is next level.
The infrared light the dryer is actually helping to dry
(02:53):
your hair fast without damage. And as someone who highlights
my hair and always experiences breakage, this is so important
to me. I'm picky about my tools because I often
get myself ready before shows without a full glam team,
And honestly, I was so blown away by the Airlight
Pro's power and precision. It's lightweight, powerful, and really easy
to use with all the custom settings. Nikki, did you
(03:13):
actually write that sentence? Yourself. Did you sit down with
your laptop and type the sentence. It's lightweight, powerful and
really easy to use with all the custom settings. Or
you know, perhaps a publicist helps you with this and
you just signed off on it. Nicki Glazer continues. It's
also quiet, so I can work on jokes and talk
to my friends backstage while I'm styling. I've never had
a dryer like this. I'm obsessed. Partnering with a brand
(03:34):
that's as forward thinking and dedicated to innovation as I
am in my own material just felt right. Airlight Pro
is defining the future of hairstyling, and I'm thrilled to
be part of it. The general manager of Loreal said,
Nicki Glazer is a major voice in comedy today. That's true,
she said, the forefront of the industry, just as Weird
at the forefront of beauty tech. It's a perfect match.
(03:54):
Nicki's authentic voice resonates with a huge audience, and like us,
she doesn't follow trends. She sets them. Now, the other
word I wanted to didpick was in the headline of
this press release, comedy Trailblazer. Nicki Glazer Now she might
be the queen of comedy. Maybe she is, but trailblazer here,
I'm wanting to complete the sentence. Nicki Glazer walked so
(04:16):
Blank could run. Can you complete that sentence? You can't?
Can you complete the sentence? Joe Rivers walked so Nicki
Glazer could run. That's a trailblazer. Okay, relax, I get
you want to sell hair dryers. Dave Chappelle will be
part of Toronto's Departure Festival and conference. Now why this
particularly caught my eye is I saw a tweet from
(04:37):
Bruce Hills. Now, who's Bruce Hills. Bruce Hills is the
executive producer of Departure Comedy who's putting this thing on?
But Bruce Hills used to be the big wig at
Just for Laughs Montreal before they had their financial challenges
a couple years ago when Bruce departed. So it's great.
Bruce is a good guy and it's good to see
Bruce running comedy things again. So with Bruce Hills and
(04:59):
Dave Chappelle at attached to this thing, we should pay
attention to what's going on in Toronto. Toronto's Departure Festival
comedy programming features rising Canadian talent with homegrown comedians including Jesseme, Rena,
Ivan Decker, Sophie Buddle, as On Phil's and Ali Hassan.
Comedy showcases focusing on emerging talent will take place at
(05:19):
the Comedy bart locations throughout Toronto, featuring breakout and next
gen comedians. Bruce said having Dave Chapelle take part and
Departure is a real honor for me the festival and
an amazing treat for our audiences. Starting off the inaugural
Departure Comedy Festival with somebody of Dave's caliber and influence
is incredibly exciting. The Departure Festival plus conference May sixth
(05:39):
through eleventh in Toronto and again back to Bruce Hills
used to be a big week at the Just for Laughs.
They not only did Just for last Montreal. There was
JFL Toronto, which was a great festival in itself. So
Bruce knows the city very very interesting development there. Will
keep an eye on that. Conan O'Brien must go. We'll
be back for a whopping three episode ode season May eighth.
(06:02):
Conan will travel to New Zealand, Austria and Spain. In
these episodes, Bow and Yang would like someone else to
play JD Vans on SNL. He suggests please reach out
to Zach Galfanakis. Bowen says, I do my best with him,
but every time I have to play him, I go
to Lauren and say, you can do a buyback. You
don't have to stick with me. Please reach out to
Zach Galifanakis. Please reach out to Taran kill him. Yeah,
(06:23):
said I worked with an accent coach. We had to
find the middle between Appalachian but Ohio, Like, we really
had to find the right voice. And I was like,
I don't want to screw this up. I have such
an uphill battle here. Everyone in America is going to
be like the Asian guy's playing that guy. I was like,
I really got to nail this down. I'm just telling
you guys, I'm doing my best. Okay. It was a
good snl over the weekend, but there was a kerf fluffel.
(06:44):
Did you see the sketch The White potis very very fun.
I'm not sure it was hilarious, but the idea and
the production values on the White Potus just nailed it.
Maybe laugh or laugh. It wasn't awesome, but the idea
of it was amazing. Amy leu Wood you know her
from the White Lotus television show. She called out Sarah
(07:05):
Sherman's mean and unfunny impression of her character. Part of
the sketch made fun of Wood's character Chelsea Sarah Sherman
was wearing buck teeth. Amy said, while in honest mode,
I did find the SNL thing mean and unfunny XO.
She wrote this on Instagram. At least get the accent right. Seriously,
I respect accuracy, even if it's mean. So to conclude
(07:26):
today's rant, HBO kind and supportive and never wrong me
So leave them alone. NBCSNL mean such a shame because
I had a great time watching it a couple weeks ago.
That's what the show's about. But there must be a cleverer,
more nuanced, less cheap way. According to Amy, she's had
apologies from SNL. I don't recall SNL apologizing to anyone
(07:47):
before I threw the phrase SNL issues apology into Google,
and I see headlines using the phrase SNL makes rare
apology being used several places. Website Media eight says, in
nineteen nine to a Wings World sketch, made a remark
about then teenage Chelsea Clinton and her appearance Lauren Michaels
and Mike Myers apologized. In twenty eighteen, Pete Davidson mocked
(08:10):
veteran and then GOP congressional candidate Dan Crenshaw's eye patch.
Crenshaw were's an eye patch because of a combat injury.
Pete Davidson offered a sincere on air apology, with Crenshaw
himself present. This has nothing to do with comedy, but
while I have the floor, don't park in handicap spots,
you jerk? What set you off? Johnny Mack six fifty something.
(08:33):
This morning, I'm at the Donut Chain parking lot, doing
my thing, get my iced coffee, and there's just a
jerk sitting in the handicap spot, windows down, radio blaring,
and look, man, there's another spot two feet away. I
know you think you're just running in for a second,
but as somebody who had to drive around an elderly
ailing parent, don't use the handicap spots because the people
(08:56):
who need those spots need those spots. Okay, don't be
a jerk over it, get back to comedy. Sure, here's
the highest recommend I have of twenty twenty five so far.
Watch last one Laughing UK it's on Amazon Prime. It
is the funniest thing of the year. So you've heard
me talk about this in the past, but I'll remind you.
So they take ten comedians and they lock them in
(09:18):
a stylized room TV studio set, and if you laugh,
you get kicked out. Jimmy Carr is your host. He's
the Jeff Proops of this thing. If you crack a smile,
he can give you a yellow card. If you get
two yellow cards, it's red, just like soccer. And if
you go straight to laugh, he can give you red
and you're out. It's fun to play along at home
and see if you can watch the show without laughing.
(09:40):
I have failed every single time. In fact, during episode
two there's one comedian that I wasn't enjoying that comedian's presence,
and as the comedian did something, I kept thinking to myself,
can't stand you can't stand, you can't stand, you can't
stand you And that person made me laugh out loud,
and I got kicked off my own couch. I guess
I'm a particularly enjoying Richard Ayoad, who's great in everything,
(10:02):
and Lou Sanders quickly becoming a very very favorite of mine.
It took me a minute to get used to Jimmy
Carr's current look. He has admittedly had a lot of
plastic surgery. He kind of looks like Jimmy Carr now.
I'd also like to buy him a sandwich. He's very thin,
and the camera adds weight to you, so I can
only imagine how thin Jimmy is in real life right now.
(10:24):
But Jimmy is one of my favorites. So this show
I recommend. Last one Laughing UK I checked earlier this morning.
They have all the other international ones. Some might be
a little too far afield for us with American humor sensitivities,
but I think after I finished the UK one, I
might check out the Ireland one that they did also
South Africa, which if I recall correctly, was hosted by
(10:46):
Trevor Noah, so that's probably good. I recommend watch that,
and you can also watch Tim Dillanson A Good Night
of comedy. Huh yeah. Community fans know about six seasons
in a movie. What if I said to you seven
seasons in a movie? Joel McHale flowed to this one.
Joel said, I think there are some of us that
would love to keep going, And I would be like, great,
If you guys want to do episodes, let us know.
(11:06):
I think that'll probably depend on the success of a movie,
but I think if there's enough of a demand to
do more, I don't know what look like, but obviously
the movie would have to inform a lot of that.
I'm game, and I know a few others a game.
I'm not going to tell you whom, but I would
definitely do more. They're always like, oh, a limited series.
I'd totally be up for that. Okay. If we look
at the cast of Community, here's who I would guess
would do it. Joel McHale obviously, yes, Danny Pody, I
(11:30):
mean he's doing the Dennis Lyrics sitcom. He's going to
do it. Alison Breen, she's got a bit of a career,
but she also tends to show up in a lot
of random things. I think she would do it. Gillian Jacobs,
I think she would do it. Donald Glover now he
left the show. Originally he seems to be the hardest
one to get. But what's Glover been up to lately?
(11:52):
I will answer that in a second. Jim Rash is
the dean, Yes, absolutely. Ken Jung likes to work and
often works with Michale, So I think he would do
it event Nicole Brown. I know she had some family
concerns and she had to walk away from the show
for a bit, so unclear and if she would do
it now. Glover was quite hot for a little bit.
If we go backwards here in his IMDb, let's see,
(12:14):
he was the voice of Simba in the recent Mufasa
Lion King. All right, that's a legit gig. He was
a star of Mister and Missus Smith. But I think
they're going to swap the cast out for the next
season of that. But that was a good hit for him.
Atlanta ended in twenty twenty two. A month ago, he
canceled a Childish Gambino tour after a hospitalization and said
(12:34):
I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal. Huh.
And back in twenty twenty four, he told The New
York Times he was retiring the moniker a Childish Gambino,
saying it was really just like, oh, it's done. It's
not fulfilling, and I just felt like I didn't need
to build it in this way anymore. So who knows.
I don't really have an answer for you. Maybe you
can get Donald, maybe not, but if he's not touring
(12:55):
because of surgery. The other hand of paychecks a paycheck,
is it less work to you play Troy then to
perform a concert. I would guess maybe I'm wrong, don't know.
We'll see if the movie ever comes out. On the
other hand, At Moontower tonight, Brad Williams at the Paramount Theater.
It's the only show tonight. It picks back up tomorrow
(13:15):
with quite a few shows. Looks like sixteen twenty shows tomorrow,
so we'll talk about Moontower tomorrow. The Age saw a
bunch of shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. One
show is by artist, says Sez. The name of SES's
show is keeps Me Young. The Age tells us, if
you only see one dyslexic bisexual musical comedian, and believe me,
(13:39):
that's a hard sentence to say. You say say with me,
dyslexic bisexual musical comedian, say that five times fast, good luck.
But if you only see one dyslexic bisexual musical comedis
se him getting better? Because I've said it ninety times,
you didn't hear half the edits make it, says the
comic and skating toilet critic is armed with a guitar,
a stack of personal and wonderful cringy anecdotes, and a
(14:01):
willingness to plunder her life for laughs. She joked to
the audience, I'm forcefully outing a lot of people tonight,
The Age says. Says reads the room well by acknowledging
that stories about stuff you might do with your hands,
bird crap on windows, and Jeremy from the football club
may come across as a bit much. Four stars. Zoe
(14:21):
coombs Mars show is called the splash Zone. This one
did not get a great review, only three stars. The
Age tells us the show relies on audience distractions and
cultural references. Some of the punchlines are predictably daggy, but
the fans lap them up. Daggy must be some ozzy
slang that I'm not familiar with. Google time. Daggy is
an informal adjective in Australia and New Zealand, slang primarily
(14:45):
used to describe somewhat or something that is unfashionable, unstylish,
or out of date. I like it, daggy, and let's
do one more. Amy Gledhill's show is called make Me
Look Fit on the poster. The review here were barely
two minutes to Amy's show and the audience is already
swinging underwear in the air. That's fun. However, not every
yarn sticks the landing. A three minute speel about how
(15:08):
much toilet paper she accumulates fizzles hard, and some of
her references are too British to translate to an Australian crowd.
Three stars, and that is your comedy news for today.
If you enjoy the program, tell a friend about it.
They might like it too. If you're on YouTube, like
and subscribe and all that stuff the YouTubers do you
YouTube people know what to do? Do that hook a
guy up? Will ya see you tomorrow?
Caloroga Shark Media. Happy tax Day. I'm Johnny Mack with
your daily comedy news out on Netflix today. Tim Dillon special.
This one called I'm Your Mother. Described as a no

Like I'm thirty nine years old and I have friends
(00:45):
that are still They're like, they can't ban TikTok. I'm
like you, Ralph, sit out, Sit this out. They can't
ban that child's dancy. Yep, Ralph, this looks terrible. Please stop.
Where am I gonna watch children? Dash? All right? Hey enough?
(01:06):
This one was filmed at the comedy Mothership Joe Rogan's
place in Austin, Texas. It seems like it has better
audio than his previous Netflix special. A Real Hero did

I am a big fan of Tim Dillon's podcast. I'm
not sure his stand up is as good as his

(01:27):
single week, Loreale put out a press release to discuss
their new relationship with Nicky Glazer. My headline here, tap
the breaks. I'm gonna pull out some of the language.
I get it's a press release, but guys, relax with this, Okay.
Nicky has had a great what is it six months
now since the Golden Globes. Not even Nicky's had a

Blank could run. Can you complete that sentence? You can't?
Can you complete the sentence? Joe Rivers walked so Nicki
Glazer could run. That's a trailblazer. Okay, relax, I get
you want to sell hair dryers. Dave Chappelle will be
part of Toronto's Departure Festival and conference. Now why this
particularly caught my eye is I saw a tweet from
(04:37):
Bruce Hills. Now, who's Bruce Hills. Bruce Hills is the

Pete Davidson offered a sincere on air apology, with Crenshaw
himself present. This has nothing to do with comedy, but
while I have the floor, don't park in handicap spots,
you jerk? What set you off? Johnny Mack six fifty something.
(08:33):
This morning, I'm at the Donut Chain parking lot, doing
my thing, get my iced coffee, and there's just a
jerk sitting in the handicap spot, windows down, radio blaring,
and look, man, there's another spot two feet away. I
know you think you're just running in for a second,
but as somebody who had to drive around an elderly
ailing parent, don't use the handicap spots because the people
(08:56):
who need those spots need those spots. Okay, don't be
a jerk over it, get back to comedy. Sure, here's
the highest recommend I have of twenty twenty five so far.
Watch last one Laughing UK it's on Amazon Prime. It
is the funniest thing of the year. So you've heard
me talk about this in the past, but I'll remind you.
So they take ten comedians and they lock them in
(09:18):
a stylized room TV studio set, and if you laugh,
you get kicked out. Jimmy Carr is your host. He's
the Jeff Proops of this thing. If you crack a smile,
he can give you a yellow card. If you get
two yellow cards, it's red, just like soccer. And if
you go straight to laugh, he can give you red
and you're out. It's fun to play along at home
and see if you can watch the show without laughing.
(09:40):
I have failed every single time. In fact, during episode
two there's one comedian that I wasn't enjoying that comedian's presence,
and as the comedian did something, I kept thinking to myself,
can't stand you can't stand, you can't stand, you can't
stand you And that person made me laugh out loud,
and I got kicked off my own couch. I guess
I'm a particularly enjoying Richard Ayoad, who's great in everything,
(10:02):
and Lou Sanders quickly becoming a very very favorite of mine.
It took me a minute to get used to Jimmy
Carr's current look. He has admittedly had a lot of
plastic surgery. He kind of looks like Jimmy Carr now.
I'd also like to buy him a sandwich. He's very thin,
and the camera adds weight to you, so I can
only imagine how thin Jimmy is in real life right now.
(10:24):
But Jimmy is one of my favorites. So this show
I recommend. Last one Laughing UK I checked earlier this morning.
They have all the other international ones. Some might be
a little too far afield for us with American humor sensitivities,
but I think after I finished the UK one, I
might check out the Ireland one that they did also
South Africa, which if I recall correctly, was hosted by
(10:46):
Trevor Noah, so that's probably good. I recommend watch that,
and you can also watch Tim Dillanson A Good Night
of comedy. Huh yeah. Community fans know about six seasons
in a movie. What if I said to you seven
seasons in a movie? Joel McHale flowed to this one.
Joel said, I think there are some of us that
would love to keep going, And I would be like, great,
If you guys want to do episodes, let us know.
(11:06):
I think that'll probably depend on the success of a movie,
but I think if there's enough of a demand to
do more, I don't know what look like, but obviously
the movie would have to inform a lot of that.
I'm game, and I know a few others a game.
I'm not going to tell you whom, but I would
definitely do more. They're always like, oh, a limited series.
I'd totally be up for that. Okay. If we look
at the cast of Community, here's who I would guess
would do it. Joel McHale obviously, yes, Danny Pody, I
(11:30):
mean he's doing the Dennis Lyrics sitcom. He's going to
do it. Alison Breen, she's got a bit of a career,
but she also tends to show up in a lot
of random things. I think she would do it. Gillian Jacobs,
I think she would do it. Donald Glover now he
left the show. Originally he seems to be the hardest
one to get. But what's Glover been up to lately?
(11:52):
I will answer that in a second. Jim Rash is
the dean, Yes, absolutely. Ken Jung likes to work and
often works with Michale, So I think he would do
it event Nicole Brown. I know she had some family
concerns and she had to walk away from the show
for a bit, so unclear and if she would do
it now. Glover was quite hot for a little bit.
If we go backwards here in his IMDb, let's see,
(12:14):
he was the voice of Simba in the recent Mufasa
Lion King. All right, that's a legit gig. He was
a star of Mister and Missus Smith. But I think
they're going to swap the cast out for the next
season of that. But that was a good hit for him.
Atlanta ended in twenty twenty two. A month ago, he
canceled a Childish Gambino tour after a hospitalization and said
(12:34):
I have surgery scheduled and need time out to heal. Huh.
And back in twenty twenty four, he told The New
York Times he was retiring the moniker a Childish Gambino,
saying it was really just like, oh, it's done. It's
not fulfilling, and I just felt like I didn't need
to build it in this way anymore. So who knows.
I don't really have an answer for you. Maybe you
can get Donald, maybe not, but if he's not touring
(12:55):
because of surgery. The other hand of paychecks a paycheck,
is it less work to you play Troy then to
perform a concert. I would guess maybe I'm wrong, don't know.
We'll see if the movie ever comes out. On the
other hand, At Moontower tonight, Brad Williams at the Paramount Theater.
It's the only show tonight. It picks back up tomorrow
(13:15):
with quite a few shows. Looks like sixteen twenty shows tomorrow,
so we'll talk about Moontower tomorrow. The Age saw a
bunch of shows at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. One
show is by artist, says Sez. The name of SES's
show is keeps Me Young. The Age tells us, if
you only see one dyslexic bisexual musical comedian, and believe me,
(13:39):
that's a hard sentence to say. You say say with me,
dyslexic bisexual musical comedian, say that five times fast, good luck.
But if you only see one dyslexic bisexual musical comedis
se him getting better? Because I've said it ninety times,
you didn't hear half the edits make it, says the
comic and skating toilet critic is armed with a guitar,
a stack of personal and wonderful cringy anecdotes, and a
(14:01):
willingness to plunder her life for laughs. She joked to
the audience, I'm forcefully outing a lot of people tonight,
The Age says. Says reads the room well by acknowledging
that stories about stuff you might do with your hands,
bird crap on windows, and Jeremy from the football club
may come across as a bit much. Four stars. Zoe
(14:21):
coombs Mars show is called the splash Zone. This one
did not get a great review, only three stars. The
Age tells us the show relies on audience distractions and
cultural references. Some of the punchlines are predictably daggy, but
the fans lap them up. Daggy must be some ozzy
slang that I'm not familiar with. Google time. Daggy is
an informal adjective in Australia and New Zealand, slang primarily
(14:45):
used to describe somewhat or something that is unfashionable, unstylish,
or out of date. I like it, daggy, and let's
do one more. Amy Gledhill's show is called make Me
Look Fit on the poster. The review here were barely
two minutes to Amy's show and the audience is already
swinging underwear in the air. That's fun. However, not every
yarn sticks the landing. A three minute speel about how
(15:08):
much toilet paper she accumulates fizzles hard, and some of
her references are too British to translate to an Australian crowd.
Three stars, and that is your comedy news for today.
