Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
Speaker 1: daily comedy news, a daily briefing on stand up comedy,
Speaker 1: comedians and the comedy industry, which is an awkward sentence
Speaker 1: one might say if they were trying to retrain the
Speaker 1: Spotify transcription algorithm to rank their show higher. Thanks for
Speaker 1: quieting down as we get closer to the Christmas holiday.
Speaker 1: On Late Night, Jimmy Fallon said, I read that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump Junior just got engaged. Yeah. President Trump was like, congrats.
Speaker 1: The third engagement is always the best. Jimmy Kimmels said,
Speaker 1: Don Junior was previously engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle. But one
Speaker 1: of the many perks of your dad being president is
Speaker 1: you can just make your ex the ambassador to grease
Speaker 1: and cent her far far away. The host also joked
Speaker 1: about the Trump Gold Card. Did you see this? It's
Speaker 1: an expedited visa for foreigners who pay one million dollars
Speaker 1: or more. Jimmy Kimble said. The White House is also
Speaker 1: planning to offer a Trump Platinum Card, which is above
Speaker 1: the Gold card, and a storm the Capitol one card,
Speaker 1: which is a great joke. Johnny Mack is very immature
Speaker 1: and likes when comedians fight. The US Sun reports Amy
Speaker 1: Schumer and her one time best friend Nicki Glazer are
Speaker 1: having a secret feud. Well, I have news for them.
Speaker 1: Now that it's mentioned on this podcast, dozens of people
Speaker 1: will know about it. Sources say that Nicki Glazer has
Speaker 1: quietly distanced herself from Amy Schumer and that the you
Speaker 1: are no longer speaking. Oh no, what happened? A source
Speaker 1: tells The US Sun Amy and Nikki used to be
Speaker 1: attached at the hip, but you don't really see them
Speaker 1: together anymore. All of a sudden, Amy became very woke,
Speaker 1: in the sense that you can't say anything in front
Speaker 1: of her without her getting offended. The insider added that
Speaker 1: the women no longer respect each other's style of comedy. Quote,
Speaker 1: they just don't like each other stuff anymore. What is
Speaker 1: Amy doing comedy wise now? That is so far afield
Speaker 1: of what Nicki Glazer does? That's weird. Another source said
Speaker 1: they stopped being close because Amy got weird. The second
Speaker 1: source also claimed that Amy's other former to your Friend,
Speaker 1: Rachel Feinstein, has also cut Amy out of her life. Wow,
Speaker 1: It's getting more and more interesting website. The list has
Speaker 1: the headline Amy Schumer's jokes about her Chris Fischer prenup
Speaker 1: have backfired miserably, the list says. Back in November twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one, Amy Schumer made no secret of the fact
Speaker 1: that having a famous chef for a husband really came
Speaker 1: in handy. During the Thanksgiving season, Schumer was joking about
Speaker 1: why she married him. The list quotes Amy's telling Entertainment
Speaker 1: Tonight at the time, I can't lie, but he knows
Speaker 1: what's going on, joking that Fisher's cooking skills were the
Speaker 1: reason that they got married. We have a prenup, but
Speaker 1: we don't need it. He's a chef. Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1: No one's going anywhere. The list writes, jokes asiet. Amy
Speaker 1: Schumer has made it perfectly clear in the past that
Speaker 1: there was genuine love at the center of her marriage
Speaker 1: to Chris Fisher. Quote. Once he was diagnosed with autism,
Speaker 1: it dawned on me how funny it was, because all
Speaker 1: the characteristics that made it clear that he's on the
Speaker 1: spectrum are all the reasons that I fell madly in
Speaker 1: love with him. The list points out, joking about your
Speaker 1: prenup is one thing, but doing so seven years in
Speaker 1: on your anniversary is bound to prompt a raised eyebrower,
Speaker 1: and that's what Amy did. In February of twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: when she celebrated seven years since she and Fisher tied
Speaker 1: the knot, she posted a photo from her wedding on
Speaker 1: Instagram Stories, adding the caption, seven years ago we signed
Speaker 1: a prenup and haven't had to utilize it. Love you babe.
Speaker 1: Ten months later, they have announced their divorce. Anthony Jesinek
Speaker 1: talked more about the Anthony Jessinic Book Club. He wants
Speaker 1: it to be interactive and said, I don't know what
Speaker 1: kind of questions we're going to get because I've removed
Speaker 1: myself from the podcast scene and I'm still doing stand
Speaker 1: up and going back on tour. But I think I
Speaker 1: might just be getting emails about the Rion Comedy Festival.
Speaker 1: That's okay, as long as people are reading the book,
Speaker 1: I might get no emails. I'm ready for no emails
Speaker 1: and just getting sadder and sadder as I go through.
Speaker 1: But I think people will want to hear what I
Speaker 1: have to say. And this is the only avenue unless
Speaker 1: you buy a ticket to come see a show. I
Speaker 1: don't know. This could just last a year. But I'm
Speaker 1: giving it a shot. Vulture was curious as Anthony miss podcasting.
Speaker 1: He said, I miss it a little bit. I still
Speaker 1: talk to Greg all the time. We've talked about bringing
Speaker 1: it back once the Super bowls over it. But the
Speaker 1: idea of having that job, I mean, You've listened to
Speaker 1: the podcast, and by the end of the podcast, I
Speaker 1: was angry to be doing the podcast and show up
Speaker 1: and catch up while can totally fine hang out with
Speaker 1: the producer, and then the cameras would start rolling and
Speaker 1: I'd be ticked. And I haven't followed the podcast world
Speaker 1: since I pulled the plug of tried to stay away
Speaker 1: from it. The subject turned two politics. Jessel Nix said,
Speaker 1: I was disgusted as most people were with embracing the election.
Speaker 1: Those people were at the inauguration and they now have
Speaker 1: to backtrack and say this isn't what I voted for.
Speaker 1: It's just embarrassing, and I'm glad I don't have podcaster
Speaker 1: in my bio. Now. That's very important to me. These guys,
Speaker 1: even the most successful ones. Seeing theo Vaughn tell people
Speaker 1: he's actively trying not to take his own life. At
Speaker 1: the end of a comedy special, it's just gutting to me,
Speaker 1: and he's the most successful guy there is. What's the
Speaker 1: point of it if it leads you to that. That
Speaker 1: was a horrible moment to watch, and again he's the
Speaker 1: most successful guy. Why are you doing this to yourselves?
Speaker 1: Why are you eating your own tail? I'm glad to
Speaker 1: be out of it. More from Robbie Hoffman being interviewed
Speaker 1: by John mulaney in GQ. Robbie one of ten kids.
Speaker 1: They are all close in age. Mlaney said, so it
Speaker 1: wasn't like when people have ten kids and ones fifty
Speaker 1: and one's two. You guys were densely grouped. Hoffman said, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think we're in twelve and a half years if
Speaker 1: we did the math. M'lany was curious who Robbie shared
Speaker 1: room with. Hoffman said, I shared a room with multiple
Speaker 1: people when I was younger. I shared with my older
Speaker 1: two sisters. I loved that. I thought they were six
Speaker 1: so cool they thought differently. And then one day I
Speaker 1: got home from school. My whole bed was outside the room.
Speaker 1: I little pink bed, a little metal pink bed that
Speaker 1: I loved. I loved having my own bed, not part
Speaker 1: of a bunk bed. Because most people were in a
Speaker 1: bunk bed, and then one day my little bed was
Speaker 1: outside with all my stuff on it, and they were like,
Speaker 1: you're moving to the baby room. Because I had sisters
Speaker 1: who were also a few years younger than me, and
Speaker 1: I was like, why do I have to move? And
Speaker 1: they're like, we're sick of you, as they were older
Speaker 1: girls at that point. So they got together and they
Speaker 1: kicked me out. When I went to my mother about it,
Speaker 1: she said, well, that's it, they kicked you out. My
Speaker 1: lady was curious, Okay, so you were the oldest in
Speaker 1: the other room. How'd that go? Robbie said, I was
Speaker 1: too bossy. The power went to my head pretty early.
Speaker 1: I was always taking tape and making my own space
Speaker 1: and setting the tone of the room. Jerry Seinfeld jumped
Speaker 1: on Instagram to share his thoughts on the tragedy in Australia.
Speaker 1: Jerry wrote, I'm devastated for the Jewish community in Sydney.
Speaker 1: A massacre at a Hanka celebration in Australia is unfortunately
Speaker 1: not a case of isolated anti Semitism. It's inspired by
Speaker 1: others of violence against Jewish people and designed to inspire more.
Speaker 1: Let's instead be inspired by the hero who refused to
Speaker 1: be a witness a model for us all. He was
Speaker 1: referring to Ahmed el Ahmed, a forty three ye old
Speaker 1: man of Syrian descent. That is the guide if you've
Speaker 1: seen the video that jumped on one of the gunmen.
