Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm shunning Mack with your
Speaker 1: daily comedy news. If you missed yesterday. Yesterday I listed
Speaker 1: the top comedy specials of twenty twenty four and gave
Speaker 1: you sixteen specials you should watch. As I said yesterday,
Speaker 1: it's just a list. Don't get upset over it, and
Speaker 1: don't over analyze it. Don't be like I can't believe
Speaker 1: you had that one at number nine. That should be
Speaker 1: number seven, and you have number eleven too low, and
Speaker 1: that should be number like. It's just a list. Your
Speaker 1: list is just as valid as mine. Today's tier I
Speaker 1: have called fourteen more good specials. So when I make
Speaker 1: these lists, I go along throughout the year. I open
Speaker 1: a little notepad on my Mac and as I watch
Speaker 1: comedy specials, I rank them. So, for example, on January seventh,
Speaker 1: Gaba Glecias will probably be the first special of the
Speaker 1: year that I've seen. It will either make Tier A
Speaker 1: or all write number one Gaba Galacias, or I will
Speaker 1: put it in the third tier, which we'll get in tomorrow,
Speaker 1: which is this ain't gonna make the list. Then a
Speaker 1: second special comes out and say Gabe was number one.
Speaker 1: Then the second special comes out and I either put
Speaker 1: it above Gabe or below Gabe, and then if I
Speaker 1: didn't like it, the second special goes on the not
Speaker 1: going to make the list list. So these ones are good,
Speaker 1: they're just step down in class from the ones I
Speaker 1: read yesterday. The ones I read yesterday was like, oh,
Speaker 1: these are solid. These next ones, they're good. I do
Speaker 1: have them rank. The Hesitation of My Voice is the
Speaker 1: first one up here. Is like Seth Meyer is dead
Speaker 1: Man Walking that came out in HBO on October. But
Speaker 1: I don't want to make it seem like that's four
Speaker 1: and away the best out of this set. It's just
Speaker 1: the same thing. I ranked them, and Seth is slightly
Speaker 1: better than Tom Papa's special who I Have at number two.
Speaker 1: Tom pap Is home Free on Netflix. Both perfectly fine
Speaker 1: specials you want to sit on the couch and laugh
Speaker 1: for an hour. Great, they just don't have that extra
Speaker 1: h that makes me put it in the top list.
Speaker 1: You know, number three in this tier, which would be
Speaker 1: number nineteen overall if you want to look at it
Speaker 1: that way and listen to yesterday's episode, Ellen Degenerous is special.
Speaker 1: You know, traditionally I've liked Ellen's comedy. I thought the
Speaker 1: old Ellen came out here for a bit. I liked
Speaker 1: her pigeon bit, but boy, there was too much of
Speaker 1: a victory lap. I mean, at one point there's like
Speaker 1: seven minutes and that's not a made up number of
Speaker 1: a standing ovation, and it's like, come on, little too
Speaker 1: much patting on the back, and that's coming from someone
Speaker 1: who likes to pat himself on the back. So Ellen
Speaker 1: might have made the top lisp but just left a
Speaker 1: not a bad taste in my mouth. But I don't
Speaker 1: know a taste in my mouth regardless. Greg Fitzsimmons was
Speaker 1: on YouTube in August my note to myself eighty percent funny. However,
Speaker 1: twenty percent hack. It's a weird mix when he's rolling,
Speaker 1: he's rolling, and then he'll just do some very hacky material.
Speaker 1: So that dragged it down out of the top tier.
Speaker 1: But that would be number four slash twenty overall. Next up,
Speaker 1: Cant Williams Woke Folk, and I wrote next to it
Speaker 1: so disappointing coming off the Shannon Sharp interview. You just
Speaker 1: expected Kat to come out and just rip everybody, and
Speaker 1: it was fine. Kat Williams doing Cat Williams things. Probably
Speaker 1: even a good version of Kat Williams doing Cat Williams things,
Speaker 1: but just just it didn't match the excitement leading into it,
Speaker 1: so it was like it was okay. Number six last
Speaker 1: twenty one, Hannah Gatsby's Gender Agenda. I like Hannah. I
Speaker 1: thought their second special, that One's Douglas, was better than
Speaker 1: the first one, which I can't remember the name of,
Speaker 1: that everybody put in the Comedy Hall of Fame. I
Speaker 1: actually thought the second one was better. This one not
Speaker 1: as good as either one, but no, nice solid special.
Speaker 1: Connor O'Malley's Stand Up Solutions is really interesting, high concept,
Speaker 1: pretty funny. It's on YouTube. It is the type of
Speaker 1: thing I'm inclined to like, but it's a bit of
Speaker 1: a roller coaster. There are some great moments, then there's
Speaker 1: some lags. But he went for it, so I appreciate that.
Speaker 1: Next up, Adam Ray's Doctor Phil Live Surprise the Heck
Speaker 1: out of Me on Netflix in November. During the first
Speaker 1: half of it, I was texting friends, brought my wife
Speaker 1: down like you gotta see this, you gotta see this,
Speaker 1: and then it was diminishing returns. There were some cameos
Speaker 1: from famous people that I won't spoil. That show up,
Speaker 1: but the front half is really strong and it tails off.
Speaker 1: Probably should have been half as long as it was,
Speaker 1: but I did like that one a lot. And we'll
Speaker 1: take the break here and I'll come back and I'll
Speaker 1: tell you some more. Next up it would be the
Speaker 1: number twenty five special overall, but again we're in the
Speaker 1: second tier here. Brian Simpson Live from the Mothership that
Speaker 1: was on Netflix in March. Brian drafting off some rogan
Speaker 1: theme and will deserved funny special twenty six. Tignataro had
Speaker 1: a special on Amazon in March. Do you even remember
Speaker 1: that one? It was fine Tiknatar doing Tignataro things. Twenty
Speaker 1: seven Taylor Tomlinson special on Netflix in February. This is
Speaker 1: another one of those that at first I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is really good, and it just went on a
Speaker 1: little too long. I also wrote the note, she doesn't
Speaker 1: need f bombs. She could work a little more clean
Speaker 1: than she does, and TV will bring that discipline to her.
Speaker 1: So she's, you know, for buying stocks by Stock and
Speaker 1: Taylor Thomlinson. I would say she got kind of hyper
Speaker 1: after a while too. It was fatiguing to watch. Rachel
Speaker 1: Feinstein had a special on Netflix. I wrote, nice enough,
Speaker 1: and that's what this tier is. Nice enough, it's funny,
Speaker 1: it's worthy of being on Johnny Max's list, you know,
Speaker 1: it's nice enough. Also nice enough. Joe Rogan's Burned the
Speaker 1: Boats Now, that was live on Netflix in August, so
Speaker 1: a lot of hype because he was live, and it was,
Speaker 1: you know, fine. I was entertained. It wasn't amazing. And
Speaker 1: this next one is number thirty overall, but I've really
Speaker 1: warmed up to it. You know, I should probably revisit
Speaker 1: my list here on the fly. I'll tell you what
Speaker 1: it is, and then let me look again and see
Speaker 1: if I can rescore this one. Adam Sandler's Love You.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not a fan of Adam Sandler's comedy
Speaker 1: at all, and yet this one was like, all right.
Speaker 1: Plus I liked how he tried to do something. It
Speaker 1: had that weird pseudo documentary feel. They were trying to
Speaker 1: pretend these weird things were happening to Adam in the
Speaker 1: moment when they're clearly staged. So it was art. It
Speaker 1: was interesting. But as I've thought back on the year,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking more fondly of that one. But I have
Speaker 1: it at number thirty and the last of Tier B.
Speaker 1: But let me look here, so I rescore this, like,
Speaker 1: especially in this group. Is Sailor better than Seth Papa,
Speaker 1: Ellen Fitzimmons, Cat, Hannah Connor, O'Malley, Yeah, maybe not, Doctor
Speaker 1: Phil Live. Is it better than Brian Simpson, Tig Taylor
Speaker 1: Rachel Yeah? So Sandler, you know, I might even as
Speaker 1: go as far now in retrospect and bump Sandler up
Speaker 1: to Tier one and put it below Chad Daniels and
Speaker 1: make it seventeenth. Like I said, these lists are subjective.
Speaker 1: I don't even know where I want to bring it.
Speaker 1: But you know, I appreciate you, Adam Sandler, And to
Speaker 1: be fair to some specials that I have not seen,
Speaker 1: I have not seen Rosemata Feo on Max Nate Aperghatzy's
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve special, the Netflix roast thing at the end
Speaker 1: of the year, Michelle Buttew on New Year's Eve, a
Speaker 1: lot of Glazer's hilarious special, plus you know two hundred
Speaker 1: others that came and went on YouTube. That's Tier two.
Speaker 1: Feel encouraged to start a discussion in the Facebook group
Speaker 1: if you agree disagree, Maybe you're like John you and
Speaker 1: Nail that that was one hundred percent. I agree with
Speaker 1: everything you said. You could do that too. Facebook group
Speaker 1: is Daily Comedy News Podcast group. Please feel encouraged to
Speaker 1: join us there. Please feel encouraged to start a conversation
Speaker 1: on your own. We do have some listeners on the
Speaker 1: show who've been upgraded to moderator. They help me keep
Speaker 1: the pornbots out. You'll be asked some very basic questions.
Speaker 1: One of the questions, what is your quest? All right
Speaker 1: back tomorrow with the specials that did not make either list.
