Speaker 1: The New York Post caught up with Jeff Ross. He's
Speaker 1: doing a Beacher's Madhouse show. The Post tells us Beacher's
Speaker 1: Manhouse revolutionized live entertainment and first debut at the Theater
Speaker 1: at MSG in two thousand and two. It is a
Speaker 1: circus like show that can't be properly explained without being experienced,
Speaker 1: although Jeff Ross said it's a circus inside a comedy show,
Speaker 1: inside a Pride parade, inside an orgy, inside Super Bowl weekend,
Speaker 1: all that wrapped up in a one hilarious, amazing night.
Speaker 1: Ross says Beacher treated me like I was famous before
Speaker 1: I was famous. That's one of the reasons we're friends.
Speaker 1: On Gossip Corner, TMZ has an update on that Corey
Speaker 1: Holcom story. TMZ rides. Christina Paine says Corey Holcomb is
Speaker 1: lying about their physical altercation outside a popular club. TMZ
Speaker 1: writes she says he hit her and not the other
Speaker 1: way around, as Corey's now claiming TMZ did their TMZ thing,
Speaker 1: and says our photographer asked her about Corey's recent legal filing,
Speaker 1: which was a restraining order request where he ledged she
Speaker 1: sucker punched him. Christina tells TMZ Corey is flipping the
Speaker 1: narrative when he's really the attacker here. Christina claims she's
Speaker 1: been beefing with Corey for a dozen years, ever since
Speaker 1: he offered her a job on a radio show, and
Speaker 1: says she rebuffed his sexual advances. She says he threatened
Speaker 1: to super sock this b word back in June, and
Speaker 1: she says she has witnesses who heard his alleged threat.
Speaker 1: We'll keep an eye on this one, and it was
Speaker 1: a lot more fun to talk about when we were
Speaker 1: speculating on why or why not Corey Holcomb's wrist was broken.
Speaker 1: A lad Bible covered a story. Apparently Natalie Cuomo got
Speaker 1: into it with a hackler, and this went somewhat viral
Speaker 1: eight hundred and sixty five thousand views on TikTok. As
Speaker 1: the story goes, Natalie was closing out her weekend shows
Speaker 1: in DC when someone in the front row hit back
Speaker 1: after she joked that this little man was in a
Speaker 1: relationship with his friend. Apparently, Cuomo kept a cool the
Speaker 1: guy kepped commenting, She amped up and said, there's so
Speaker 1: many people coming together to be supportive, and you're putting negative.
Speaker 1: The report says. She then continued as she took to
Speaker 1: shouting in his face, saying, no, look me in the eyes.
Speaker 1: You're putting negative effing energy out there. This is the
Speaker 1: last show my effing weekend. Look at me in the
Speaker 1: effing eyes. It's a sold out show, and you want
Speaker 1: to say mean stuff to me, don't effing do that.
Speaker 1: The audience member ended up leaving and texted his friend
Speaker 1: to call Cuomo a effing clown. Cuomo read out his messages,
Speaker 1: including I did warn you I would get kicked out. Okay.
Speaker 1: One audience member said I've never seen a comedian scream
Speaker 1: at an audience member because they're being heckled comedians that
Speaker 1: can't take a joke is actually so cringe. Others were
Speaker 1: more supportive. Let's head on over to Rotten Tomatoes and
Speaker 1: check in on Amy Schumer's Kind of Pregnant. I debuted
Speaker 1: with a fifteen percent score, with only thirteen reviews from
Speaker 1: critics generating that score, So the score could fluctuate, could
Speaker 1: get up into the high nineties, could happen. The audience
Speaker 1: score started at twenty seven percent, with over one hundred
Speaker 1: fans weighing in on The film got a press release.
Speaker 1: I'm reading this because it's just vaguely interesting to me.
Speaker 1: It involves Joe Rogan's club, so the press release reads.

Speaker 1: event management solutions, today announced its newest partnership with Comedy Mothership,
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan's Austin based flagship comedy club blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: So I'm curious to see what they're humble bragging about.
Speaker 1: Mobile first ticketing simplified purchasing and check in processes designed
Speaker 1: to enhance audience convenience. Yeah, and then they probably make
Speaker 1: me put my phone in a bag. Thanks guys. Custom
Speaker 1: branding a ticketing experience that reflects Comedy Mothership's unique identity. Fine,
Speaker 1: this is interesting. I think we could see a lot
Speaker 1: more of this coming up. Personalized delayed delivery q R

Speaker 1: then think you're going to resell them for a trillion dollars.
