WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.519 Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your 2 00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:14.279 daily comedy news, a daily briefing on stand up comedy, 3 00:00:14.279 --> 00:00:17.120 comedians and the comedy industry, which is an awkward sentence 4 00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:19.920 one might say if they were trying to retrain the 5 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:23.839 Spotify transcription algorithm to rank their show higher. Thanks for 6 00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:26.800 quieting down as we get closer to the Christmas holiday. 7 00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:29.879 On Late Night, Jimmy Fallon said, I read that Donald 8 00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:33.119 Trump Junior just got engaged. Yeah. President Trump was like, congrats. 9 00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.039 The third engagement is always the best. Jimmy Kimmels said, 10 00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:39.280 Don Junior was previously engaged to Kimberly Guilfoyle. But one 11 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:41.039 of the many perks of your dad being president is 12 00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:42.840 you can just make your ex the ambassador to grease 13 00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:45.840 and cent her far far away. The host also joked 14 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.119 about the Trump Gold Card. Did you see this? It's 15 00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:51.280 an expedited visa for foreigners who pay one million dollars 16 00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.000 or more. Jimmy Kimble said. The White House is also 17 00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:56.399 planning to offer a Trump Platinum Card, which is above 18 00:00:56.399 --> 00:00:59.159 the Gold card, and a storm the Capitol one card, 19 00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.399 which is a great joke. Johnny Mack is very immature 20 00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.120 and likes when comedians fight. The US Sun reports Amy 21 00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:09.599 Schumer and her one time best friend Nicki Glazer are 22 00:01:09.599 --> 00:01:12.760 having a secret feud. Well, I have news for them. 23 00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.959 Now that it's mentioned on this podcast, dozens of people 24 00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.400 will know about it. Sources say that Nicki Glazer has 25 00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:23.079 quietly distanced herself from Amy Schumer and that the you 26 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.680 are no longer speaking. Oh no, what happened? A source 27 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:29.840 tells The US Sun Amy and Nikki used to be 28 00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:31.560 attached at the hip, but you don't really see them 29 00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:34.920 together anymore. All of a sudden, Amy became very woke, 30 00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:36.719 in the sense that you can't say anything in front 31 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.640 of her without her getting offended. The insider added that 32 00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:43.879 the women no longer respect each other's style of comedy. Quote, 33 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.079 they just don't like each other stuff anymore. What is 34 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.560 Amy doing comedy wise now? That is so far afield 35 00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:54.680 of what Nicki Glazer does? That's weird. Another source said 36 00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.680 they stopped being close because Amy got weird. The second 37 00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.599 source also claimed that Amy's other former to your Friend, 38 00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:04.280 Rachel Feinstein, has also cut Amy out of her life. Wow, 39 00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:07.680 It's getting more and more interesting website. The list has 40 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.759 the headline Amy Schumer's jokes about her Chris Fischer prenup 41 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:14.120 have backfired miserably, the list says. Back in November twenty 42 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.360 twenty one, Amy Schumer made no secret of the fact 43 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:19.520 that having a famous chef for a husband really came 44 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:23.080 in handy. During the Thanksgiving season, Schumer was joking about 45 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.599 why she married him. The list quotes Amy's telling Entertainment 46 00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:28.360 Tonight at the time, I can't lie, but he knows 47 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.599 what's going on, joking that Fisher's cooking skills were the 48 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:33.800 reason that they got married. We have a prenup, but 49 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:35.639 we don't need it. He's a chef. Yeah, that's it. 50 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:38.759 No one's going anywhere. The list writes, jokes asiet. Amy 51 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:40.639 Schumer has made it perfectly clear in the past that 52 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:42.639 there was genuine love at the center of her marriage 53 00:02:42.680 --> 00:02:45.400 to Chris Fisher. Quote. Once he was diagnosed with autism, 54 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.560 it dawned on me how funny it was, because all 55 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:49.439 the characteristics that made it clear that he's on the 56 00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:51.719 spectrum are all the reasons that I fell madly in 57 00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.159 love with him. The list points out, joking about your 58 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.520 prenup is one thing, but doing so seven years in 59 00:02:56.680 --> 00:02:59.879 on your anniversary is bound to prompt a raised eyebrower, 60 00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.919 and that's what Amy did. In February of twenty twenty five, 61 00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:05.360 when she celebrated seven years since she and Fisher tied 62 00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:08.080 the knot, she posted a photo from her wedding on 63 00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:11.560 Instagram Stories, adding the caption, seven years ago we signed 64 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:14.159 a prenup and haven't had to utilize it. Love you babe. 65 00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:18.120 Ten months later, they have announced their divorce. Anthony Jesinek 66 00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:21.360 talked more about the Anthony Jessinic Book Club. He wants 67 00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:23.080 it to be interactive and said, I don't know what 68 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:24.840 kind of questions we're going to get because I've removed 69 00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:26.759 myself from the podcast scene and I'm still doing stand 70 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:28.759 up and going back on tour. But I think I 71 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:31.360 might just be getting emails about the Rion Comedy Festival. 72 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.159 That's okay, as long as people are reading the book, 73 00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:35.280 I might get no emails. I'm ready for no emails 74 00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:37.159 and just getting sadder and sadder as I go through. 75 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.120 But I think people will want to hear what I 76 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:40.800 have to say. And this is the only avenue unless 77 00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:42.080 you buy a ticket to come see a show. I 78 00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:43.599 don't know. This could just last a year. But I'm 79 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:47.400 giving it a shot. Vulture was curious as Anthony miss podcasting. 80 00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:49.680 He said, I miss it a little bit. I still 81 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:51.400 talk to Greg all the time. We've talked about bringing 82 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:52.840 it back once the Super bowls over it. But the 83 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:55.080 idea of having that job, I mean, You've listened to 84 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:56.639 the podcast, and by the end of the podcast, I 85 00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:58.639 was angry to be doing the podcast and show up 86 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.159 and catch up while can totally fine hang out with 87 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:03.000 the producer, and then the cameras would start rolling and 88 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.360 I'd be ticked. And I haven't followed the podcast world 89 00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:06.960 since I pulled the plug of tried to stay away 90 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.800 from it. The subject turned two politics. Jessel Nix said, 91 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.560 I was disgusted as most people were with embracing the election. 92 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.000 Those people were at the inauguration and they now have 93 00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:18.920 to backtrack and say this isn't what I voted for. 94 00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.160 It's just embarrassing, and I'm glad I don't have podcaster 95 00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:24.399 in my bio. Now. That's very important to me. These guys, 96 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:26.959 even the most successful ones. Seeing theo Vaughn tell people 97 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:28.920 he's actively trying not to take his own life. At 98 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:30.800 the end of a comedy special, it's just gutting to me, 99 00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.439 and he's the most successful guy there is. What's the 100 00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.079 point of it if it leads you to that. That 101 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.279 was a horrible moment to watch, and again he's the 102 00:04:37.279 --> 00:04:39.879 most successful guy. Why are you doing this to yourselves? 103 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:41.439 Why are you eating your own tail? I'm glad to 104 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.519 be out of it. More from Robbie Hoffman being interviewed 105 00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:48.319 by John mulaney in GQ. Robbie one of ten kids. 106 00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.959 They are all close in age. Mlaney said, so it 107 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.120 wasn't like when people have ten kids and ones fifty 108 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:55.839 and one's two. You guys were densely grouped. Hoffman said, yeah, 109 00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:57.360 I think we're in twelve and a half years if 110 00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.959 we did the math. M'lany was curious who Robbie shared 111 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.639 room with. Hoffman said, I shared a room with multiple 112 00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.360 people when I was younger. I shared with my older 113 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:06.399 two sisters. I loved that. I thought they were six 114 00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:08.560 so cool they thought differently. And then one day I 115 00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:10.720 got home from school. My whole bed was outside the room. 116 00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:13.040 I little pink bed, a little metal pink bed that 117 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:14.879 I loved. I loved having my own bed, not part 118 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:16.480 of a bunk bed. Because most people were in a 119 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.000 bunk bed, and then one day my little bed was 120 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:19.560 outside with all my stuff on it, and they were like, 121 00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:21.680 you're moving to the baby room. Because I had sisters 122 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:23.920 who were also a few years younger than me, and 123 00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:25.439 I was like, why do I have to move? And 124 00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.360 they're like, we're sick of you, as they were older 125 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:29.319 girls at that point. So they got together and they 126 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:31.839 kicked me out. When I went to my mother about it, 127 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.120 she said, well, that's it, they kicked you out. My 128 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.560 lady was curious, Okay, so you were the oldest in 129 00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:39.279 the other room. How'd that go? Robbie said, I was 130 00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:41.199 too bossy. The power went to my head pretty early. 131 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:43.439 I was always taking tape and making my own space 132 00:05:43.480 --> 00:05:46.480 and setting the tone of the room. Jerry Seinfeld jumped 133 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:50.000 on Instagram to share his thoughts on the tragedy in Australia. 134 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:53.199 Jerry wrote, I'm devastated for the Jewish community in Sydney. 135 00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:56.240 A massacre at a Hanka celebration in Australia is unfortunately 136 00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:59.680 not a case of isolated anti Semitism. It's inspired by 137 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.680 others of violence against Jewish people and designed to inspire more. 138 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.160 Let's instead be inspired by the hero who refused to 139 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:07.199 be a witness a model for us all. He was 140 00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:10.079 referring to Ahmed el Ahmed, a forty three ye old 141 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.439 man of Syrian descent. That is the guide if you've 142 00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.759 seen the video that jumped on one of the gunmen. 143 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:17.480 Jerry also posted an image of a Star of David 144 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:19.519 on a black background, along with the screenshot of an 145 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.519 article from The Times Viseral with the headline a genuine 146 00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:27.720 hero unarmed Muslim bystander film disarming Sydney terrorist Sasha. Baron 147 00:06:27.759 --> 00:06:30.639 Cohen also went on Instagram. He shared a photo of 148 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.720 a mother holding her child among first responders. Aaron Cohen wrote, 149 00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:37.920 Hanukkah twenty twenty five, Bandai Beach. It could be your family, 150 00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:40.480 your child. No one should die because of their faith. 151 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:42.839 May their memory be a blessing and a light toward 152 00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:47.160 tolerance and peace.

Comedian Diane Morgan. 176 00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:59.000 You Americans might know her as Filamina Kunk from the 177 00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:02.199 Various Kunk special on Netflix.

So we'll all watch it together 193 00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.200 this weekend. Anyway. Camil recently lost his cat three months ago. 194 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.440 Her name was big Ol. She was seventeen, non Gianni said, 195 00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:53.840 that's the saddest I've ever been in my whole life. 196 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:56.799 They were having this conversation at a Lower east Side 197 00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.440 cat cafe called Meal Porler keeping non Jahanni company was 198 00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:05.120 a tortoiseshell kitten named Honeybee a golden stripe sloped down nose. 199 00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:07.799 Camal said, Oh my god, look how pretty that is. 200 00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:10.960 Don Giohanny and his wife Emily have recently adopted a 201 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.879 kid and named Biscuit. He says, Bagel was always his 202 00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:16.720 dignified cat, and this cat has no dignity. It's a 203 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.360 bit of a dumbass. Jimmy Kryn the Louis Throux podcast 204 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:23.600 shared a take that Dave Chappelle had on Cancel Culture 205 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:25.679 that goes something like this. The joke that makes you 206 00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:27.799 roll around laughing and you can't wait to tell your friends, 207 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:29.440 and the joke that offends you and you think is 208 00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:31.600 disgusting come from the same place. We're trying to make 209 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:34.080 you laugh, trying to lighten the load of life. We're 210 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:36.240 paid for the attempt, like evil can eevil, We're paid 211 00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.559 for the attempt. We're not paid for the joke. Sometimes 212 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.679 swinging a miss. Sometimes it offends, and I'll leave you 213 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:43.960 with this today. This has nothing to do with comedy, 214 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.480 but Gil Gerard, you may know him as Buck Roger, 215 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.120 has passed away. He left us a posthumous message which says, 216 00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:53.639 my life has been an amazing journey. The opportunities I've had, 217 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:55.480 the people I've met, and the love I've given and 218 00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:57.399 received have made my eighty two years on the planet 219 00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:00.879 deeply satisfying. Don't waste your time, and anything that doesn't 220 00:10:00.879 --> 00:10:03.279 thrill you or bring you love, see you out somewhere 221 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:06.080 in the cosmos. That's your comedy news for today. See 222 00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:06.440 you tomorrow.
