Speaker 1: Kalaroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2: Hello, what an exciting day. Amy Schumer's Kind of Pregnant
Speaker 2: is out on Netflix today. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with
Speaker 2: your daily comedy news. Amy Schumer is kind of Pregnant.
Speaker 2: Reviews are embargoed until today, so I don't have any
Speaker 2: to share, But that tells me something. It means that
Speaker 2: Netflix is really really excited about these super positive reviews.
Speaker 2: They're gonna get for it, and they wanted them to
Speaker 2: all come out today. Yeah, we'll see. Amy Schumer wants
Speaker 2: us to talk about her, so we sure will today.
Speaker 2: Let's start with this piece and Decider by Anna Menta.
Speaker 2: Anna writes Amy Schumer peaked with her twelve Angry Men
Speaker 2: sketch from inside Amy Schumer. It's been nearly a decade,
Speaker 2: but Amy Schumer still hasn't topped her twelve Angry Men
Speaker 2: parody from twenty fifteen, and at this point, with former
Speaker 2: fans abandoning her in light of her recent controversial opinions,
Speaker 2: got to click on that. What are these controversial opinions again? Ah? Yes,
Speaker 2: that links to the Independent. Why Amy Schumer's Israel Gaza
Speaker 2: posts were corrected by Mlka's daughter and an overwhelming lack
Speaker 2: of enthusiasm for her new Netflix movie, it seems plausible
Speaker 2: that she never will. I'm skimming through this, Ana meant
Speaker 2: to write Sin Schumer's defense, It's difficult for anything to
Speaker 2: best that near perfect comedy sketch. It aired as the
Speaker 2: third episode of the third season of Schumer's Comedy Central
Speaker 2: series Inside Amy Schumer, which you can stream for free
Speaker 2: on Hulu. Typically, the show featured at least five short
Speaker 2: sketches per episode, but Twelve Angry Men Inside Amy Schumer
Speaker 2: broke format with a single black and white, eighteen minute
Speaker 2: long bit. Over the next fifteen minutes or so, we
Speaker 2: see a character take on the role of Henry Fond
Speaker 2: as Twelve Angry Men character, He's on a mission to
Speaker 2: a quit Schumer, not on the basis of reasonable doubt,
Speaker 2: but rather on the basis of reasonable chubb but meaning
Speaker 2: that each man in the room might, plausibly, under the
Speaker 2: right circumstances, find Amy Schumer attractive. What makes the sketch
Speaker 2: so brilliant, it writes Anna, in addition to the pitch
Speaker 2: perfect recreation of the original movie's melodramatic tune, is that
Speaker 2: this is quite literally how the Internet sounds when talking
Speaker 2: about Schumer. It doesn't seem to matter what else Schumer
Speaker 2: does to offend, and she does plenty. Another hyperlink, Let
Speaker 2: me click on that one. This one took me to BuzzFeed.
Speaker 2: Amy Schumer doubled down on her Israel comments and it's
Speaker 2: not great is that article? There will always be a
Speaker 2: man on the corner who simply must chime in to
Speaker 2: announce that he wouldn't have sex with Amy. Nothing Schumer
Speaker 2: has done since has managed to find that perfect balance.
Speaker 2: A few months after Twelve Angry Men Inside Amy, Schumer
Speaker 2: aired Amy's first movie, train Wreck, open in theaters. It's
Speaker 2: easily her best film, though not quite as concise and
Speaker 2: clean as the sketch. Still, twenty fifteen remained Schumer's best
Speaker 2: air ouns. The year she won her first and only
Speaker 2: Emmy Award for Inside Amy Schumer, and she even snagged
Speaker 2: a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress. And train Wreck
Speaker 2: and reminds us the review embargo for A Kind of
Speaker 2: Pregnant has not yet lifted. Never a great sign, but
Speaker 2: the general sentiment surrounding the movie seems tippid at best.
Speaker 2: We'll get into the reviews tomorrow. Amy popped by the
Speaker 2: View and confessed to scheduling sex with her husband. She
Speaker 2: wanted us all to know what she and her husband
Speaker 2: can planned to do for their upcoming wedding anniversary, which
Speaker 2: happens to fall the day before Valentine's Day. She wants
Speaker 2: us to know, Well, actually, that's the weekend of the
Speaker 2: SNL fiftieth anniversary special. So I think I get a
Speaker 2: plus one. Otherwise I'll just ditch him. She was joking.
Speaker 2: I believe no one is getting a plus one. That's
Speaker 2: been well reported. Amy added, we're pretty corny. We'll make
Speaker 2: sweet love. Amy then shared that they do schedule their
Speaker 2: sexy time, saying there's never a vibe. It never just
Speaker 2: happens to people do that. One of the hosts agreed
Speaker 2: with Amy. Amy also provided the host of the view
Speaker 2: with a bag of gifts, including strap on pink waistbags
Speaker 2: modeled after pregnant bellies. These were for each of the
Speaker 2: co hosts to wear. Amy said, just strap them right on.
Speaker 2: Whoopy Goldberg seemed confused, or at least pretended to be confused.
Speaker 2: Unclear to me, I didn't watch the show. Whoopy held
Speaker 2: a quote bewildered facial expression for seventy one seconds then
Speaker 2: there was a commercial break. When it came back from commercial,
Speaker 2: Whoopy had strapped the fake pregnant belly to her head.
Speaker 2: It stayed there for most of the rest of the
Speaker 2: segment disappeared later in the broadcast. Amy was also out
Speaker 2: on the Red Carpet. She believes her five year old
Speaker 2: son Jean shares the comedy gene, telling people he's really funny.
Speaker 2: I don't know what his story's gonna be, but he
Speaker 2: loves doing stunts and making people laugh. Other folks on
Speaker 2: the Red Carpet where co stars Julian Bell, will Forte,
Speaker 2: Damon Wayne's junior, and others. Adam Sandler is one of
Speaker 2: the producers. He was there with his wife Jerry Seinfeld
Speaker 2: and Jessica Seinfeld also stopped by the Red Carpet. Moving on,
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Star Tribune caught one of Nicki Glaser's recent shows.
Speaker 2: They write for Most of the evening, name dropping was
Speaker 2: kept to a minimum. She was more focused on defending
Speaker 2: the use of a zempic, detailing her visits to tanning salons,
Speaker 2: and admitting to being jealous of supermodels. She took on
Speaker 2: social influencers because they look cuter than she does. With
Speaker 2: little effort and said, I want you to do a
Speaker 2: TikTok dance next to a helicopter. But the Star Tribune writes,
Speaker 2: but Glazer's underdog persona doesn't resonate like it used to.
Speaker 2: It's hard to feel sorry for someone who, at this
Speaker 2: moment just might be the most talked about comedian on
Speaker 2: the planet. Glazer was more effective when exploring darker themes
Speaker 2: that have nothing to do with her quest for eternal youth.
Speaker 2: Apparently she did some material involving the plane crash in Washington,
Speaker 2: d C. It is unclear to me what that material
Speaker 2: it was. She got into some other stuff that I
Speaker 2: don't even want to talk about on this podcast, but
Speaker 2: sounds like it was quote unquote outrageous. Kevin Art has
Speaker 2: revealed that he has a new pet eagle. He has
Speaker 2: named the eagle Saquon Barkley, after the eagle's running back.
Speaker 2: I feel like Kevin has done this bit before around
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl involving an eagle. Kevin went on Instagram
Speaker 2: on Monday, Yeah I am remembering correctly. He showed off
Speaker 2: his first pet eagle, which is named Jalen Hurts, which
Speaker 2: he says he purchased for a million five back in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. Okay, I did remember that correctly. Kevin
Speaker 2: revealed he had some issue with Jalen Hurts, the pet eagle,
Speaker 2: who he says mistook Kevin for a rodent. Kevin calls
Speaker 2: in trainers to get the pet eagle Hurts properly trained,
Speaker 2: and then said, like anything, all good things come in pairs.
Speaker 2: The camera zooms out, there's another eagle. Kevin says he
Speaker 2: dropped twelve million dollars on a rare eagle with big
Speaker 2: legs and named it Saquon Borkley. Kevin then makes a
Speaker 2: cocktail called the Borkley Hurts using his tequila brand. Because
Speaker 2: Kevin always has to be hustling stuff. And speaking of
Speaker 2: the eagle transition, Sam Meryl spoke to The Eagle Online
Speaker 2: and that's a college newspaper. What a terrible segue. I
Speaker 2: should be embarrassed by that. The Eagle Online was curious
Speaker 2: if Sam knew he wanted to go into comedy by
Speaker 2: the time he was in college. Sam said, I did. Actually,
Speaker 2: my first time on stage was right after high school
Speaker 2: when school was ending, and then I was handing out
Speaker 2: flyers in my free time for stage time. When I
Speaker 2: was in college, that is awful if you've ever seen
Speaker 2: anybody have to do that. When I briefly went to
Speaker 2: Tulane University, I kind of got to choose some of
Speaker 2: the comics that bring down. I had a good set
Speaker 2: in front of one of the comics they brought down.
Speaker 2: I already kind of knew I liked stand up a lot.
Speaker 2: It was kind of all on you. You could choose
Speaker 2: how hard you were going to work or how not
Speaker 2: hard you were going to work. I felt like I
Speaker 2: was missing out socially a little bit because I had
Speaker 2: friends who were like, ah, it's a sparty night and
Speaker 2: I'm literally handing flyers out in the street and stuff
Speaker 2: like that. But I also really liked stand up. I
Speaker 2: liked being around comics, so I did feel like I
Speaker 2: was bonding with a different type of people at that time.
Speaker 2: So you know, it was just a choice, and I
Speaker 2: think I figured, if this doesn't work out, it'll just
Speaker 2: be a chapter in my life. Sam was getting ready
Speaker 2: to play d C and they were curious if political
Speaker 2: jokes play differently in DC. Sam said, good question. I
Speaker 2: haven't been to DC in a couple of years. I
Speaker 2: think the crowd seems to be informed, but I don't
Speaker 2: know if it plays differently. I think maybe they're expecting it.
Speaker 2: I'll do current events and I'll do social commentary, but
Speaker 2: I try to keep it from being red versus blue
Speaker 2: in my act. Clearly, of course i'll dump on a
Speaker 2: particular person, but I think when you draw the line
Speaker 2: too clearly, like there's enough division. It's everywhere. So for me,
Speaker 2: pouring gasoline on fire is kind of pointless when you're
Speaker 2: trying to give people a good night out. There's ways
Speaker 2: to do it, I think, and I've done it, but
Speaker 2: I think it's a line, you know, similar to a
Speaker 2: dark joke. There's a line to be walked. Kat Williams
Speaker 2: has bought the Fort McClellan property. This is in Aniston, Alabama.
Speaker 2: Kat's plan is to turn it into a production studio.
Speaker 2: Mayor Jack Draper said, this is a sector of the
Speaker 2: economy that I think could be transformational for this region.
Speaker 2: We as a city have met with mister Williams team
Speaker 2: consistently over the last few months. You know, you're talking
Speaker 2: about jobs. You're talking about construction projects not only for
Speaker 2: the city, county, but also the rein before it was
Speaker 2: closed in nineteen ninety nine. No word on when the
Speaker 2: studio might open. Joe Coy visited Duluth. He had some
Speaker 2: fun with how cold it was there he filmed a
Speaker 2: tourism video. In the video, he calls himself John McMillan,
Speaker 2: assisted to the senior Vice president of Duluf, Minnesota Department
Speaker 2: of Tourism. Let's listen, I think this is fun.
Speaker 1: Hi, I'm John McMillan, assistant to the senior vice president
Speaker 1: of the Duluth, Minnesota Department of Tourism. I'm here to
Speaker 1: show you the beautiful city of Duluth, Minnesota. Come follow me,
Speaker 1: sit down and enjoy the view of all water on
Speaker 1: an icy cold benches in a beautiful place to Milwaukee.
Speaker 1: Also known for our snow cap rock. Despite what people think, Duluth,
Speaker 1: Minnesota has black people. Oh please don't film me. Thank you, Hi,
Speaker 1: mister Anderson O. D Lude is also known for stares
Speaker 1: for women and every day is a great day for
Speaker 1: a hot cup of coffee and d Hi mister Hernandez,
Speaker 1: I don't know you, he knows me and stand on
Speaker 1: top of a band made snow hills and enjoyed our
Speaker 1: world famous family saunas Hi missus Segy. So next time
Speaker 1: when you're planning a vacation. Think all the fun things
Speaker 1: I do. Hi, mister Peterson, who mister Peterson?
Speaker 2: On Gossip Corner, TMZ reports, Corey Holcombe says he got
Speaker 2: sucker punched by a female comedian who's hell bent on
Speaker 2: taking him down physically and financially, so he's seeking court
Speaker 2: ordered protection. As the story goes, back in December, Corey
Speaker 2: was outside the Hollywood improv a woman put hands on
Speaker 2: him as his back was turned to her. In the
Speaker 2: documents filed Monday in LA Superior Court, Corey Holcombe claims
Speaker 2: she hurled a bunch of insults and obscenities worthy of
Speaker 2: a celebrity roost. Among the comments, the woman allegedly made
Speaker 2: your mother is a B word. And I'll clean this up,
Speaker 2: penis ain't uh you know anything to look at? Really
Speaker 2: cleaning it up?
Speaker 1: There?
Speaker 2: D and s or the words that are asteriskd out
Speaker 2: in the copy I'm reading from back to his back
Speaker 2: to his d apparently shield up. That's why your wrist
Speaker 2: gout broke. TMZ says for the record, Corey says his
Speaker 2: wrist injury was from skateboarding, not self love. I'm glad
Speaker 2: to clear that up. Corey. A hearing was scheduled where
Speaker 2: both Corey and the woman will be able to share
Speaker 2: their versions of what happened, and then the judge was
Speaker 2: going to decide what happened. I can't wait to report
Speaker 2: back on that one. Will Ferrell's working on untitled comedy
Speaker 2: project movie He'll Start with Zac Efron. Efron will play
Speaker 2: a young convict who's fresh out of prison. Instead of
Speaker 2: choosing to make good on his newfound freedom, the convict
Speaker 2: decides to seek revenge on the reality TV judge played

Speaker 2: The New York Post he didn't talk to Ted Danson
Speaker 2: for thirty years. Kelsey said there wasn't like a single
Speaker 2: thing that blew up their friendship, was just gradual attention.
Speaker 2: Grammer says, it got a little blown out of proportion.
Speaker 2: There really wasn't an argument. It was at the time
Speaker 2: of my life when I was actually going through a
Speaker 2: lot of self doubt, self loathing. Honestly, it was when
Speaker 2: I was drinking a lot. Ted had come up and said,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm kind of mad at you that sometimes
Speaker 2: you don't show up ready to go. And I said, okay,
Speaker 2: I respect that. That was actually sort of it. Now,
Speaker 2: maybe what happened for Ted was he stepped away from
Speaker 2: what might have been a better friendship. Maybe had just
Speaker 2: had to protect himself. I don't really know, but I
Speaker 2: said thanks. We were fine with that. Grammar didn't think
Speaker 2: when Ted called out his behavior that would greatly impact
Speaker 2: their relationship, but they wound up not speaking for thirty years.
Speaker 2: If you're a younger listener, they co starred on Cheers
Speaker 2: from nineteen eighty two to nineteen ninety three. Ted Dancing
Speaker 2: last year on his podcast told Kelsey, I feel like
Speaker 2: I got stuck a little bit with you during the
Speaker 2: Cheers years. I have a memory of getting angry at
Speaker 2: you once. It's stuck in both of our memories. But
Speaker 2: I feel like I missed out in the last thirty
Speaker 2: years of Kelsey Grammar, and I feel like it's my bad,
Speaker 2: my doing, and I almost feel like apologizing to you. No,
Speaker 2: I do apologize to you and me that I sat back,
Speaker 2: you know, and didn't And I really do apologize. Grammar
Speaker 2: then thanked Ted Dancing for the apology and said he too,
Speaker 2: which is they had spent more time together. My love
Speaker 2: for you has always been as easy as the day,
Speaker 2: as easy as the sunrise. That is your comedy news
Speaker 2: for today. If you enjoy the program, please tell a
