Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2: I realized that on today's show, I'm gonna sound like
Silkie Johnson, winner of the Haters Ball. Hello, I'm Johnny
Mack with your daily comedy news.
Speaker 1: I hate you, I don't even know you, and I
hate your guts. I hope all the bad things in
life happened to you and nobody else but you.
Speaker 2: The reviews for Will Ferrell's The Hawk are not good.
The Independent, with the headline Netflix Golfing Comedy, gives Will
Ferrell his own crappy Gilmore two stars out of five.
The Hollywood Reporter said, you might think it would be
impossible for a TV show featuring Will Ferrell, Molly Shannon,
Jimmy Tacho, Fortune Fimester, Chris Pornell, and David Hornsby not
to generate at least a few laughs. Perhaps the biggest
issues that everybody's essentially playing to type. Fortune Fimester is
more or less the same filteralistic centric she played on
shows like Foo Bar or the short lived Middy Kayling
sitcom Champions. Chris Parnell abuse his PGA board member with
the same disarmingly perky charm he's been peddling for decades.
Molly Shannon is perhaps the standout, though even her withering
scorn is nothing new. No one feels real, least of
all Ferrell. They add. Ferrell is a performer whose glory
days have seemingly passed. Where he once ruled the box office,
now he's grinding out a comeback on Netflix. The New
York Post said, Will Ferrell's The Hawk is a pale
imitation of his earlier work. He's been all over the
place doing outrageous antics to promote it. It's a shame
it didn't seemingly put that effort into making sure the
show wasn't a dud. It's a story that might have
made for an amusing, yet forgettable, five minutes Saturday Night
Live sketch. It's tedious as a five hour series. At
the very least, it's obvious that his skills are best
for a movie, not stretched across a ten episode series.
The Hawk is painfully unfunny. The Daily Bet said twenty
years ago, The Hawk would have been a ninety minute
theatrical comedy. Today it's the latest feature film idea to
be overextended to the point of worthlessness. Will Ferrell was
at last week's SP's, which will give us a nice
smooth transition to our second target today, Marcelo Hernandez. Now
you might be wondering, Hey, John, what if we took
the unfunny Will Ferrell and put him on stage with
the unfunny Morselo Hernandez. What might that sound like? Well,
I have a clip for you. I have edited this
for pacing so you don't lose your mind and turn
off my podcast. Warning. I know that this clip is bad.
I know that this clip is going to make you
want to hit skip. But to illustrate today's theme, I
have to play the clip. Here's Will Ferrell with Marcelo Hernandez,
who does one thing.
Speaker 3: As a Latino. It's very important for me to represent
my community every chance I get, and I'd like to
take a moment to do that now in a special way.
For the first time in the history of the sp Awards,
I am going to present an award entirely in Spanish.
I just thank you, yes, thank you. I just don't
want anybody to feel left out. So I just need
a translator. Can anybody, I'll do it.
Speaker 2: I'll do it.
Speaker 4: I can translate. I can translate for you.
Speaker 3: Are you sure, Will Ferrell?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, you speak Spanish.
Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, okay, yeah, of course I do.
Speaker 3: All right, come all, come.
Speaker 4: In a little Spanish film.
Speaker 3: Yeah we'll ferrel.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, I'm happy to I was in a little
Spanish film called Talladega note.
Speaker 3: Chase, so.
Speaker 4: Okay, so yeah, all right, yeah, let's do this.
Speaker 3: Sure okay, all right here damas caballeross me or notice
the premio tangu indand.
Speaker 4: Hey everybody, Uh, what's up? Game? Were feeling good? I'm
excited to present this next award here in the world's
greatest sports arena, Madison Square Garden. Can I get a what?
Speaker 3: What? Ambul masaldo imucha disciplina.
Speaker 4: As a young boy growing up in Miami, I didn't
have many friends. Uh. Most of my friends were stray
dogs I had collected in the neighborhood and I gave
them names. There was George, there was Peaches. There was Alexander.
Often late at night I would press my private parts against.
Speaker 2: I didn't even talk for that long. Ouch. You may
recall last year's host was Shane Gillis, who the establishment
athletes did not welcome. I lost. Shane was hilarious. What's
Shane up to now? Marcelo Hernetez has the answer.
Speaker 3: I also want to shout out last year's host, Shane Gillis.
He is watching from home like a true American on
his couch, gonna be here while a Hispanic guy does
his job.
Speaker 2: Do you like hack jokes like the hackiest of hacked,
most obvious? How long did it take you to write
that joke? Because I have one for you.
Speaker 3: In nineteen seventy three, hockey players didn't wear helmets, basketball
had no three point line, and in nineteen seventy three,
Bill Belichick was the age his girlfriend is.
Speaker 2: Now, Wow, that's pretty hacky there. Marcelo then turned his
attention to the Nicks. Now on the video of this,
Jalen Brunson made the face that Taylor Swift should have
made at the Joe Koy joke way back when Jalen
did the ha ha ha that's funny. But you can
tell he did not find this funny because it's not funny.
Speaker 3: And Jalen Brunson, Rick Brunson's son got to win an
NBA championship with his dad as the coach, which proves
one thing, which is that nepotism, like most things, is
way cooler when a black guy does it.
Speaker 2: Next up. We have a WNBA joke that isn't that bad,
but I think he mispaced it ended comedy. Timing is everything,
and I also think this kind of joke would have
worked better for say Shane Gillis.
Speaker 3: I also want to shout out the WNBA players for
signing a new deal and they're not making more money
than ever before. Yes, yes, it's a lot of new
money in the WNBA. Man opening up the door for
a new reality show basketball husbands and wives, but mostly wives.
Speaker 2: Okay, Marcelo? How about the World Cup?
Speaker 3: World Cup is the time when American sports fans remember
what the word world means. They usually think it means
the US and one team from Toronto. I will say
it has been amazing to see Americans learn about soccer
and Europeans learn about ranch dressing. And I have something
to say to the Europeans.
Speaker 4: Come in here.
Speaker 3: It's not so easy to stay skinny here, is it.
I've really enjoyed watching you slim snobs eating like delicious
junk food and this is real karma. You called American
stat for hundreds of years, and now look at you
drinking ranch taking it home with you like a weirdo.
That's the fattest thing you can do.
Speaker 2: By the way, Wow, that is just bad. And you
might be saying, Johnny Mack, you're just such a hater.
Surely Marcelo Hernandez must have had one good joke, and
you're right, he did have one good joke. And here
it is gradulate one player.
Speaker 3: I want to congratulate. Caleb Williams, the quarterback for the
Chicago Bears, will be on the cover of the new
Madden video game. Congratulations to Caleb. Yeah, and Tiger Woods
will be on the cover of Grand Theft Auto.
Speaker 2: Carlos meant SIA it sold the California Post. All I
did was not pay my taxes being arrested the guns.
That was a very shocking thing. I was compared to
al Capone. All I did was not pay taxes. I
never cheated on them. I never got paid in cash.
I never didn't sign a ten ninety nine. How much
money I made will come out because I never hid that.
Carlos showed up in court. So what do you wear
in court? You dress up nice, you wear a suit,
you try and look professional. Carlos wore a University of
Oregon jacket and a T shirt and blazon with the
words super funny. Now, I'm not a judge, but I
probably wouldn't have reacted that too well. But again, I'm
up for winning the haters ball this year. Up again,
Silky Johnson. Mencia's attorney argued that Carlos should be able
to list his la estate in order to help pay
his over three hundred thousand dollars tax bill. The attorney
also attempted to unfreeze assets from Vincia's bank accounts so
he could pay living expenses and his attorney fees. I
could see why that might be important to the attorney.
The judge ruled that Carlos could list his Encino mansion,
believed to be valued at over four and a half
million dollars. The judge also allowed for one hundred thousand
dollars to be taken from the bank account. Carlos told
the California Post at the end of the day, we're
going to take care of this. It's how we got there.
That's a little painful from a psychological and physical standpoint.
They got what they wanted. They got the attention of
this issue for me, So it is what it is.
Dane Cook, serious actor, perhaps Jeff Barker, who's that He's
the father of Obsession director Curry Barker and a screenwriter.
Jeff Barker is writing and directing his own psychological horror
short film, Medium Rare. It will start Deane Cook. Medium
Rare follows a man trapped inside a bar where reality
begins to unravel in increasingly disturbing ways. Perhaps Dane Cook's
character is forced to watch the hawk. Hey, remember the
other day I mentioned Thom Sigore not wearing a wedding ring,
and I shared that for a while playing volleyball, I
wasn't wearing a ring. Don't read anything into it. So
I showed up at volleyball the other night and two
of my teammates were there. They were mid conversation, and
the conversation was like, yeah, you know, you could stick
it in you know, your shoe or something and won't
get lost. And I'm like, what are you guys talking about.
One of my teammates wanted to take off his wedding
ring for volleyball because his fingers were swollen. He had
spent the entire day with his wife. They had a
nice day. Don't read anything into it. Sometimes we're just
playing volleyball. It's almost time for season eighteen. If It's
Always Sunny in Philadelphia. FX has announced it'll be back Monday,
August seventeenth, with what they're calling an expanded ten episode season.
We have all lived long enough that ten is now
an expanded season. That's because the previous three seasons were
only eight episodes each, which goes really quickly, especially when
they show two a week. Season eighteen premieres at nine
Eastern on fxx FX and Hulu. We are told now
the longest running live action sitcom and TV history. It's
Always Sonny follows a group of deeply self absorbed friends
and they're chaotic misadventures while running the failing Philadelphia dive
bar Patty's Pub. Now, to be fair, this show's been
on for twenty plus years eighteen seasons. Is the bar
failing because it's been a steady business for two decades?
I mean, how long do they have to own this
thing before we consider it a successful business. We've got
some plot points here minor spoilers. It's Always Sunny, don't
worry about it. In season eighteen, Charlie mcdennis, d Stupid Bird,
and Frank are wrapped up in a salvaging inheritances from
a dead woman, b surviving tent encampments, and the great
inside outside divide between the haves and have nots. C
withstanding job loss at the hands of workplace automation. Four
you switch from the letters to numbers, John, Yeah, I did,
embracing a new found appreciation for neurodivergence. Five, questioning the
fabric of society against conspiracy theories, and six the biggest
elephant in the room, outlasting the public's pendulum swing against drinking.
We're told not to mention battling nerds, LARPers, and a
particularly petulant mcpoile clan at the Renaissance Fair were sports
washing their way back into the good graces of their
community by sponsoring a little league team. All those sound
like really, really good plots. Kevin Hart likes to work.
He's got a new season of Cold as Balls. You know,
that's the show where Kevin Hart sits in a cold
tub with famous sports figures. They were getting ready to
film new interviews live at Fanatics Fest in New York
over the weekend. Guess we're scheduled to be Serena Williams,
Rob Gronkowski, Cooper Flagg, Sean O'Malley, Zlatson, you know the
guy that basically ran Alexi Lallas out of town on
World Cup coverage. We all love that guy, and I
show speed now as cool and hip as I am.
I had a google Sean O'Malley, who apparently currently competes
in the bantamweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. So
although I don't know who he is, I'm sure Maggot
comedian Ate Berghazy's familiar with Sean O'Malley can talk about that.
For a second, I was thinking about this, Can I
be honest? If the President of the United States wants
to come on this show, he's coming on now. If
he comes on daily Comedy News, I'm probably gonna ask
him about like Saturday Night Live and some comedy stuff
that he's done, and then eventually I'll get to it.
But like, this show's not sixty minutes. I know, I
know sometimes she confuse it for sixty minutes, but this
isn't sixty minutes. I probably ask him who his favorite
comedians are, you know, that his stuff, and then maybe
with the end, I could be like, hey, you know
this thing with the war, you know, I might get
that in at the end, and then you guys would
all be like, Maga, podcast host Johnny Mack had the
President on, but meanwhile, I'll have the number one podcast
that week. You know, we could probably talk about Late Night.
I'd be like, hey, mister President, you know, what's your
deal with Jimmy Kimmel? And then he'd say his stuff
and I'd be like, now, the one thing I do
agree with you on, mister President, is twelve thirty. This
seth Meyers thing. It's got to be better, right, And
then he would say some stuff and I'd be like,
that's right, make twelve thirty great again. Then he would laugh,
and then I would ask him about Colbert, and then
you guys would be like, come on, how come you're
not ask him about election interference? And I'd be like,
I'm guy in the basement, what do you want to do.
I will also welcome whoever runs for a president on
the Democrat side. That person is also welcome to come
on here, and I will also ask them about their
favorite comedians and if they've ever hosted Saturday Night Live.
I Digress. Cold as Balls will now be on Netflix
with six new episodes with those guests that I told
you about. Kevin Hart said, Coldest Balls coming in Netflix
feels like a homecoming. I'm pairing two of my favorite
ease together for an unbeatable conversation and content. I love
that for twelve going on thirteen seasons, thirteen seasons of this,
now Kevin's billionaire and doing really well. Does this thing
of cultural impact or people watching this thing? I love
that for twelve going on thirteen seasons, the show continues
to be a celebration of sports and entertainment. Then he
went into some corporate speak and plugged his other stuff,
and this is sad. The High Planes Comedy Festival has
announced it's over. Festival organizers posted on Facebook, all good
things must come to an end, and man has High
Planes Comedy Festival have been good. After thirteen years and

things in life happen to you and nobody else but
