WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.599
<v Speaker 1>Caloroga Shark Media. Hey Johnny Mack with your Daily Comedys

2
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.359
<v Speaker 1>holiday weekend. I hope you had a great fourth of July.

3
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Am now well into my mission to make it to

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.440
<v Speaker 1>the tri Centennial. Need medicine help me a little bit.

5
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll have to be one hundred and seven years old,

6
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:24.399
<v Speaker 1>but that is my goal to be there July fourth,

7
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:27.480
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventy six. So let's put our feet up today

8
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:29.800
<v Speaker 1>and take a look at the best comedy specials of

9
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.399
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty six so far. And I'm going up to

10
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:36.119
<v Speaker 1>bottom best special of the year, and I don't imagine

11
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:39.280
<v Speaker 1>anything passing this Chris Flemings Live at the Palace from

12
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>HBO in February. This is the one that made everybody

13
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:44.200
<v Speaker 1>feel like they discovered a secret, even though the secret

14
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:46.479
<v Speaker 1>had been hiding in plain sight on YouTube for years.

15
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:50.159
<v Speaker 1>Chris Fleming filmed his HBO debut with the Cadillac Palace

16
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Theater in Chicago in a purple velvet gemsuit with ruby

17
00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 1>red Dorothy slippers. He then prance, scuttled and belly flopped

18
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:01.039
<v Speaker 1>his way through an hour about Trader Joe's, Doug Breed's, NPR,

19
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:04.439
<v Speaker 1>and Conga lines. Mark Maron called him a marvel to behold,

20
00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>a true artist. If you've seen this thing, Fleming isn't

21
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.560
<v Speaker 1>doing joke jokes. He's doing art, except the art is

22
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>pretty funny and has a lot of physical comedy. And

23
00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>let me flip over a card here. I used AI

24
00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 1>to help me script out today's episode off my scratch notes,

25
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.560
<v Speaker 1>and the AI came up with this one. Chris Fleming

26
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>looks like he may have studied under a mime who

27
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:26.280
<v Speaker 1>was also a Golden retriever. That's pretty good. Number two

28
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:29.519
<v Speaker 1>special of the year, Ryan Hamilton. This just hit me.

29
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:33.079
<v Speaker 1>You know, sometimes I'll see a comedian on the up

30
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:35.040
<v Speaker 1>and be like, oh, I can't wait for this person's

31
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:37.599
<v Speaker 1>next special, and they kind of disappoint. And you know,

32
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.400
<v Speaker 1>it'd been a minute for Ryan Hamilton because he got

33
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:42.519
<v Speaker 1>hit by a bus, which he made very clear. So

34
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:45.319
<v Speaker 1>I was very happy at how funny this special was,

35
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:47.079
<v Speaker 1>and it seemed to everybody in the Facebook group Daily

36
00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.719
<v Speaker 1>Comedy News podcast group was with the program. In case

37
00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:53.159
<v Speaker 1>you missed it, Ryan Hamilton got hit by a bus

38
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>and then he made a comedy special about it. The

39
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.120
<v Speaker 1>special was directed by mega comedian Aperghezzi. One time attended

40
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 1>a UFC show who that guy? But much like the

41
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:06.159
<v Speaker 1>Nate brand, the energy is clean, warm, observational. Nobody's getting

42
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:07.959
<v Speaker 1>their feelings hurt. And as far as I know, Ryan

43
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.879
<v Speaker 1>Hamilton did not attend any UFC events recently. I'm going

44
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>to google it just to check. Oh, this is fun.

45
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:18.680
<v Speaker 1>There's an MMA fighter named Ryan Hamilton who goes by

46
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:22.039
<v Speaker 1>the nickname Hollywood Ryan Hamilton. He has a professional MMA

47
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>record of zero and one. His last fight was July seventeenth,

48
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one, in whatever FCS is. He is currently

49
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:34.800
<v Speaker 1>on a one loss MMA streak. He apparently lost to

50
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.039
<v Speaker 1>Johann Rubio by a rear naked choke two minutes and

51
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:40.240
<v Speaker 1>eleven seconds into round two. This is the kind of

52
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.199
<v Speaker 1>thing Nate bergets he would find very interesting. And I'm

53
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>sure you're like, shut up, John and get back to

54
00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:46.639
<v Speaker 1>the comedy part. I will. That's a good suggestion. Listener

55
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 1>Hamilton works in the Jim Gaffigan Brian Reagan Lane, Nah,

56
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I disagree. I think I think Ryan Hamilton would call

57
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:54.400
<v Speaker 1>me back had I helped him early in his career.

58
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.039
<v Speaker 1>Now I haven't helped him in his career at all,

59
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.240
<v Speaker 1>but had I helped him early in his career, and

60
00:02:58.280 --> 00:02:59.759
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Hey, Ryan, do you want to come

61
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:01.680
<v Speaker 1>on the radio show. I'm pretty sure Ryan would have

62
00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>called me back and said yes, sir or I said no,

63
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:05.439
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to, but you know, I'm busy. I'm touring,

64
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>which is perfectly fine, and I have no problem to no.

65
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:11.879
<v Speaker 1>I digress, Holliay weekend having a little fun here. Ryan

66
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.039
<v Speaker 1>Habilinson works on the Jim Gaffick and Brian Reagan Lan

67
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>Family Friendly, Never a curse word, the kind of special

68
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.680
<v Speaker 1>you can watch with your parents and feel good about yourself.

69
00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Number three Trevor Noah Joy in the Trenches. I really

70
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:24.719
<v Speaker 1>like Trevor Noah's comedy. This was on Netflix in April.

71
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:26.879
<v Speaker 1>I liked it a lot, but some people said at

72
00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:29.039
<v Speaker 1>times have felt like a ted talk that wandered into

73
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 1>a comedy club by accident, and not sure I agree

74
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:34.479
<v Speaker 1>with that. Number four Count Williams The Last Report Netflix

75
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:38.879
<v Speaker 1>in February. Count Williams Fourth Netflix special. The Last Report

76
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>leans heavily into conspiracy theorist, political commentary, and the vibe

77
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:44.759
<v Speaker 1>of a man who's looked at the world and concluded

78
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:46.919
<v Speaker 1>he was right about everything. If you love cat you'll

79
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.639
<v Speaker 1>love this one. If you thought his previous specialist wandered

80
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. You won't like this one in fifth place.

81
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Pete Holmes Silly Silly fun Boy. I've been listening to

82
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>some pen Homes interviews. I just really like what the

83
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:01.919
<v Speaker 1>guy's about. And as the year goes on and I

84
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.039
<v Speaker 1>revise this even here on the Fly, I'm like, Eh,

85
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.719
<v Speaker 1>maybe you don't want to put Pete above Cat and

86
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>above Trevor. I don't know, come to revise here in

87
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>the fly. Maybe Pete Holmes is the third best special

88
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:13.919
<v Speaker 1>of the year. John, you host the show, you made

89
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:15.719
<v Speaker 1>the list. I know, all right, I have it at five.

90
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.839
<v Speaker 1>This showed up on YouTube in March. Silly Silly fun

91
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Boy has scorpion bites, elevator Superstitions. Harry Potter is a

92
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.720
<v Speaker 1>philosophical text parenting marriage and the general vibe of a

93
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>guy who's found genuine peace and wants to tell you

94
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:29.360
<v Speaker 1>about Like, yeah, that's what I'm picking up on the interviews,

95
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's what I like about him. Pete

96
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 1>Holmes said it's my favorite special two dates, which is nice,

97
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.920
<v Speaker 1>but doesn't every comedian, like you know, is somebody gonna

98
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:38.399
<v Speaker 1>come out and be like, you know this one's pretty good,

99
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:40.680
<v Speaker 1>but my last one was way better. Like, you're just

100
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>not gonna do that right. Here's one that might be

101
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.879
<v Speaker 1>off your radar, Derek Stroop's Nostalgic. Now, by off your radar,

102
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean Netflix put it in front of you and

103
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.759
<v Speaker 1>you didn't click on it. This was on Netflix in March,

104
00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:57.040
<v Speaker 1>also produced by mega comedian Aperghancys Andnateland Entertainment. Nate one

105
00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>time went to a UFC fight Boy, People Are Very

106
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Upset fifty seven minutes about a nineties kid from rural Alabama,

107
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:07.720
<v Speaker 1>thrown it back to pre internet lifeboard games and why

108
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:11.120
<v Speaker 1>cigarettes should make a comeback. Critics compared to him either

109
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:15.160
<v Speaker 1>to mega comedian Apraghassi or Brig Krascher. Next up, Ramy

110
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 1>Yusef in Love HBO April. I always enjoy Ramy. He

111
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>just he exudes charm and he's very smooth. And this

112
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.079
<v Speaker 1>one he covers dogs, his marriage, Ai, religion, and the

113
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.319
<v Speaker 1>ri Odd Comedy Festival. One review said, it's not trying

114
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:31.920
<v Speaker 1>to be the funniest special the year. It's trying to

115
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:33.839
<v Speaker 1>be the most meaningful, and I think that's a good

116
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.519
<v Speaker 1>way to describe Rami Usef. Next up, Jackie Kashin with

117
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.279
<v Speaker 1>the title altercation I See what You did there? This

118
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:45.000
<v Speaker 1>on YouTube in February, the specialist personal stories in rapid

119
00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.879
<v Speaker 1>fire punchlines shaped by decades of experience. She described herself

120
00:05:48.920 --> 00:05:51.839
<v Speaker 1>as entirely made of bees at this point. So here

121
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:55.240
<v Speaker 1>the roughly halfway mark of the year. Those are my

122
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.480
<v Speaker 1>top specials. Now, usually the back half of the year

123
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:02.199
<v Speaker 1>has more on the front end of the year, and

124
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:05.079
<v Speaker 1>we tend to get a lot of stuff like after Thanksgiving,

125
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.079
<v Speaker 1>like really big names. So we'll see how the year develops.

126
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's take a look at the good pile. So I

127
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:14.879
<v Speaker 1>do these in three tiers. There's the best, the good

128
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:18.319
<v Speaker 1>that you should watch, and then famous people who drop

129
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:20.759
<v Speaker 1>specials that I'm not really into. So we've already done

130
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:24.560
<v Speaker 1>the best. Let's do the good. Shehang Wang's Purple on Netflix.

131
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:27.439
<v Speaker 1>I liked his previous special, Sweet and Juicy, and thought

132
00:06:27.439 --> 00:06:31.079
<v Speaker 1>it was excellent. Purple not as good. It's a little repetitive,

133
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:33.800
<v Speaker 1>and at times I really was feeling the Mitch Hedberg

134
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.639
<v Speaker 1>cover act, which in the previous special I liked a lot,

135
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 1>but this time I was like, Eh, the material didn't

136
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.439
<v Speaker 1>quite match the delivery. I like Shang a lot, but

137
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:45.759
<v Speaker 1>I'd actually recommend his previous special over this one. Ate

138
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:49.399
<v Speaker 1>pretty good specials. Aaron Chen's Life in Questions. Aaron Chan

139
00:06:49.560 --> 00:06:53.639
<v Speaker 1>is Australian, surreal and underrated everywhere, kind of a low

140
00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:58.439
<v Speaker 1>key style, an acquired taste. Perfectly fine special. I'm not

141
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.680
<v Speaker 1>going to put it in the elitch category, but pretty good.

142
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Also pretty good and well talked about the roast of

143
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:07.079
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Hart from Netflix in May. If you listen to

144
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.720
<v Speaker 1>this program, we have well dissected that, and we'll even

145
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.399
<v Speaker 1>be dissecting it in the upcoming week. Was it the

146
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:16.480
<v Speaker 1>roast of Tom Brady? Not even close? Was itatchable? Sure?

147
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:18.759
<v Speaker 1>It was kind of long. I'd watched it across two

148
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:22.519
<v Speaker 1>or three nights. It's hit and miss. Might be more

149
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:25.279
<v Speaker 1>miss than hit, but it's washable. Definitely put your eyes

150
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:28.040
<v Speaker 1>on it. This one's gonna upset people. You know what's

151
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>watchable Tony Hinchcliff's man, other people I know, people on

152
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:36.160
<v Speaker 1>Threads specifically, are mad that this even exists. Is it funny?

153
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:38.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's funny. It's just nice company.

154
00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I had it on for an hour and a lot

155
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>of times because I am a comedy snob. I don't

156
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.680
<v Speaker 1>make it all the way through specials and I just go, Eah,

157
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>this isn't worth my time. And I just had this

158
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.839
<v Speaker 1>on and it was entertaining. I don't know if it's funny,

159
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:52.959
<v Speaker 1>but I was entertained. And our first mention of the

160
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:57.079
<v Speaker 1>Hulu brand hularious. Now they're a publicists might not get

161
00:07:57.120 --> 00:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>back to you, but you can still watch comedy on now.

162
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.639
<v Speaker 1>As you hear me say on the show, I feel

163
00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.720
<v Speaker 1>like the Hulu brand's not up where the Netflix brand is,

164
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.040
<v Speaker 1>and Hulu's where you go when you're a little past peak.

165
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.079
<v Speaker 1>They recently dropped Dez Bishop's Bridge and Tunnel again, perfectly

166
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:15.519
<v Speaker 1>fine hour filmed at the Comedy Seller in New York.

167
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I like Dez's a previous special more than this one.

168
00:08:19.120 --> 00:08:21.240
<v Speaker 1>But if you need something to watch, does Bishop Bridge

169
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>and Tunnel on Hulu? And now onto the pass section.

170
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>These are people you've heard of. I think it can pass.

171
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:32.639
<v Speaker 1>Let's start with Louis CK's Ridiculous Nope, didn't make the

172
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:34.399
<v Speaker 1>top of the list. Now let me tell you. I

173
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:37.600
<v Speaker 1>put this thing on the other night between soccer games,

174
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.080
<v Speaker 1>and the first ten minutes I was laughing out loud,

175
00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:44.039
<v Speaker 1>like actual laughs. If you've listened to this program, you know.

176
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:46.159
<v Speaker 1>I have what I call Emperor of Rome syndrome, where

177
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.080
<v Speaker 1>my brain has just been fried from listening to comedy

178
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:50.200
<v Speaker 1>all these ears, and I do the thing the comedians

179
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:52.240
<v Speaker 1>do in the back of the room where they just go, oh, yeah,

180
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.679
<v Speaker 1>that's hilarious, very very funny, great callback, Oh that is

181
00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:57.080
<v Speaker 1>so well written, but I don't actually laugh. K in

182
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:00.720
<v Speaker 1>the first ten minutes had me laughing, and I started thinking, Wow,

183
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:02.960
<v Speaker 1>is this going to be the number two special? Because

184
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:04.840
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be hard to be Chris Fleming. I'm like,

185
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:06.519
<v Speaker 1>is this going to be number two? Did C Kate

186
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:08.320
<v Speaker 1>really bring it here? Because some of the reviews I

187
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:11.039
<v Speaker 1>saw said this wasn't that good. In the first ten

188
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:14.879
<v Speaker 1>minutes I loved. The next ten minutes I hated. He

189
00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:17.399
<v Speaker 1>went into this bit about his father and I won't

190
00:09:17.440 --> 00:09:22.679
<v Speaker 1>spoil the material, and there was just one joke that's aggressive,

191
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.440
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, I just don't like this. I

192
00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:28.440
<v Speaker 1>don't want to spend time with this. And then that

193
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.200
<v Speaker 1>chunk ends like right at the nineteen minute mark with

194
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:33.559
<v Speaker 1>he's doing ten minute chunks, So that chunk ends around

195
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.559
<v Speaker 1>nineteen twenty minutes with clapter never a good sign, and

196
00:09:36.600 --> 00:09:39.279
<v Speaker 1>then the next ten minutes, I was just kind of

197
00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>bored and I bailed. Life's too short, I've got soccer

198
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:44.759
<v Speaker 1>games to watch, I got stuff to do. I'm not

199
00:09:44.759 --> 00:09:46.440
<v Speaker 1>going to watch a special I'm not enjoying. And I

200
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:49.720
<v Speaker 1>just wasn't enjoying it anymore, so I stopped. Variety calls

201
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.320
<v Speaker 1>it his return to the mainstream. Slate says he hasn't changed.

202
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:55.559
<v Speaker 1>Indy Wire says his misery becomes our own. All of

203
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:58.399
<v Speaker 1>those things are probably true at once, but passed on

204
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:02.799
<v Speaker 1>Louis c. K ridiculous. Pass on Taylor Thomason's Prodigal Daughter

205
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:07.519
<v Speaker 1>in Netflix February. Critics love it Thomasin's fourth Netflix special

206
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:11.279
<v Speaker 1>That's incredible, hit religious trauma, faith, the construction, sexuality, and

207
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:14.320
<v Speaker 1>fear of death, and I don't know, just kind of

208
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:16.840
<v Speaker 1>felt one note to me. I don't know, wasn't feeling it.

209
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Pass on Josh Johnson Symphony from HBO, and may I know,

210
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:23.879
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know we're all supposed to be like

211
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Josh Johnson is the greatest ever and his output is incredible.

212
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:32.039
<v Speaker 1>He does a new material on YouTube every Tuesday, and

213
00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the buzzes on him and he's charismatic, and I know

214
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm supposed to love it. I wanted to love it,

215
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:41.000
<v Speaker 1>but I zoned out. Material didn't grab me. People who

216
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:42.960
<v Speaker 1>love it seem to really love it, which means either

217
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:44.639
<v Speaker 1>it's brilliant, or it wasn't in the right head space,

218
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:46.799
<v Speaker 1>or I just suck at this. I don't know, maybe

219
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm wrong, but just wasn't feeling it. And I know

220
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm supposed to, but I didn't. No surprise that I

221
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:57.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't like Marcelo Hernandez American Boy from in Netflix in January.

222
00:10:57.159 --> 00:10:59.919
<v Speaker 1>As you've heard me say, Marcelo Hernandez does one thing. Well,

223
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:02.799
<v Speaker 1>he does one thing, and he did one thing during

224
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:05.759
<v Speaker 1>American Boy on Netflix in January. Can also pass on

225
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:09.679
<v Speaker 1>Mark Norman's None Too Pleased Mark Norman doing Mark Norman things.

226
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:12.720
<v Speaker 1>What are the descriptions of this specialist? You already know

227
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:16.279
<v Speaker 1>what you're in for, And yeah, that's it. I mean,

228
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:19.480
<v Speaker 1>if you like Mark Norman, great, I don't dislike the

229
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.480
<v Speaker 1>special but again, I got soccer games to watch, video games,

230
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.559
<v Speaker 1>to play movies to watch, go outside, do something else,

231
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:28.279
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna pass on Mark Norman None Too Pleased,

232
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:30.840
<v Speaker 1>which again doesn't mean it sucks. It just means it's

233
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:32.279
<v Speaker 1>not gonna make the end of your best of list.

234
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:35.919
<v Speaker 1>Neither is Nicki Glazer's Good Girl from the Hilarious Brand.

235
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I am not the target audience. I'm aware of that,

236
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:42.240
<v Speaker 1>and I am also aware that I increasingly feel Nicki

237
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:45.720
<v Speaker 1>Glazer needs to tap the brakes and disappear for a

238
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.080
<v Speaker 1>little bit. It's been a little much, but the type

239
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:50.279
<v Speaker 1>of material she does just does not connect with me.

240
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:52.840
<v Speaker 1>It may connect with you. You'll find Nicki Glazer Good

241
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Girl on Hulu. While we're here into the holiday weekend,

242
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:00.559
<v Speaker 1>Vulture posted five new comedy specials you should definitely watch

243
00:12:00.559 --> 00:12:02.639
<v Speaker 1>when you have a moment. Their list Real Quick, Louis

244
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:06.879
<v Speaker 1>c k Ridiculous on Netflix. They suggested Tom Cashman's The

245
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Formula for Happiness on YouTube. Don't want to spoil the

246
00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:13.919
<v Speaker 1>jokes here, Vulture kind of did, but sounds like it

247
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.480
<v Speaker 1>might be pretty funny. They also recommend Ryan Hamilton, who

248
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.120
<v Speaker 1>you just heard me say is the number two of

249
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.399
<v Speaker 1>the year. Ali SADIQX my father. There's so much buzz

250
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:25.840
<v Speaker 1>on him. He's arguably the hottest comedian around right now.

251
00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:27.759
<v Speaker 1>This special is released on Father's Day. I guess I

252
00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:31.480
<v Speaker 1>should catch up on it, and Caitlyn Polufo's Pershudo Rose

253
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:34.840
<v Speaker 1>is on YouTube. Vulture writes, just as Paul Mooney pushed

254
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:37.519
<v Speaker 1>even their most progressive white audiences to discover their latent

255
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.399
<v Speaker 1>racism through long, relentless sets about race relations, Kaitlyn Pulufo

256
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:44.679
<v Speaker 1>does a similar thing with jokes about sex. Oh scroll

257
00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:48.320
<v Speaker 1>down here. They have some previously featured specials. Horatio Gould's

258
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:51.919
<v Speaker 1>Space Cowboy on YouTube, Emmy Blotnik's What's Her Secret on

259
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:55.440
<v Speaker 1>Gorilla Comedy, plus Eugene Mermins here comes the Whimsy on YouTube.

260
00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:57.559
<v Speaker 1>I need to get around to that one. Okay, good one,

261
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:00.639
<v Speaker 1>Bet Stellings. We're looking for people who do huge numbers

262
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:04.200
<v Speaker 1>on social media on YouTube. Julio Torre's Color Theory is

263
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.360
<v Speaker 1>on HBO. I actually did watch that. I should add

264
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:09.279
<v Speaker 1>that to the past list. And Janet McNamara is not

265
00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:11.200
<v Speaker 1>smart enough on YouTube all right, though, I'll give you

266
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:15.039
<v Speaker 1>plenty to watch in between soccer games. And if you

267
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:17.440
<v Speaker 1>want even more of a list, join the Facebook group

268
00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Daily Comedy News podcast group. Dylan is one of the

269
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:22.600
<v Speaker 1>power members of the group. And if you've put out

270
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:25.279
<v Speaker 1>a comedy special, he's watched it before The paint is

271
00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:27.240
<v Speaker 1>dry on it, which doesn't make sense, but you know

272
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:29.399
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. And he's got a very thorough list

273
00:13:29.440 --> 00:13:31.639
<v Speaker 1>of his opinion on the top specials of the year.

274
00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:34.000
<v Speaker 1>And again, this is just one idiot's list, a guy

275
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:37.200
<v Speaker 1>sitting in a basement recording extra episodes for holiday weekend.

276
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:39.879
<v Speaker 1>You can agree, disagree. It's just a list. Don't get

277
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:42.000
<v Speaker 1>too upset about it. Your list is just as valid

278
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:43.960
<v Speaker 1>as mine. And I will see you tomorrow.
