Callaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:12.560
Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.

3
00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:14.720
We have a new pope, and Jimmy Kimmel says, we

4
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:17.760
have an American pope and a Russian president. Isn't incredible?

5
00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:20.440
Dosi Leidik said, but the votes are counted and the

6
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:23.320
Vatican doesn't have a January sixth, so there's no going back.

7
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:25.879
Stephen Colbert said, Holy Father, you had me at jd

8
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:28.640
Vance is wrong Kimmel again, you gotta think about this one.

9
00:00:28.719 --> 00:00:30.399
This must have been what it felt like when they

10
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.759
opened the first Olive Garden. Some funny stuff on threads.

11
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.600
Griggs posted the new Pope is from Chicago, which means

12
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.719
I probably taught his Level three improv class. David the

13
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:43.079
Stella writes, American Pope sounds like a nineties comedy movie

14
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:45.640
where due to some random paperwork, era dude named Steve

15
00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:48.759
has made the pope. Mark Stevens Comedy says the new

16
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.200
Pope is from Chicago, which means his reign could last

17
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:55.159
anywhere from twenty five or six to four years. Several

18
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:57.880
people had the joke. I'll credit Josh Barrow, who's the

19
00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:01.359
first one I saw posted Chicago Pope Tuesdays on NBC.

20
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:05.319
There's also a CBS very into that joke. Sebastian Manascalgo

21
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:06.040
checked in.

22
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.879
All right, here's the deal. Pope's from Chicago and I'm

23
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:13.280
getting calls? Do you know the Pope? Why would I

24
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.760
know the Pope? He's sixty nine years old? All right,

25
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:19.879
where do you think I met the Pope at seminary school?

26
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:23.359
I don't know the Pope. I'm happy he's from Chicago.

27
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.680
All the blessings to new Pope Leo. By the way,

28
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.239
why don't they use the real name of a guy.

29
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.120
I think his name is Rob. Why isn't it just

30
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.239
Pope Rob? Why do we got to change the name up?

31
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:38.560
I'm sure I could chat sheeap, you tee it or

32
00:01:38.560 --> 00:01:41.680
google it, but I thought i'd ask you guys, because

33
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:43.000
you're so smart.

34
00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:46.680
Good luck, Pope. I found it odd that there was

35
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.879
no comment from Jim Gaffigan when I looked at Friday

36
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:53.760
at ten twenty five am, but he had posted about

37
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.000
his bourbon twenty one hours earlier. I did some maths,

38
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.799
so ten twenty five plus twenty one hours would have

39
00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:03.680
been when in eleven twelve one five pm Jim knew

40
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:05.840
about the Pope. I find Jim social media to be

41
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.479
pretty disingenuous. Anyway, It's just about telling you his stuff.

42
00:02:08.879 --> 00:02:12.159
Andrew Schultz declared, New Pope went to Villanova Knicks in

43
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.639
four Here in New York City, it is Nick's town.

44
00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.879
People are very excited. One person who's excited is Tracy Morgan.

45
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:20.680
Let's listen.

46
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.319
Subscribe New York City. This subscribes Nicks and everything in it,

47
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:27.520
the Freedom Tawa, all of that. We New York. We

48
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:31.240
very resilient. We don't play we scrappy. So this team

49
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:34.520
represents us. This is what New York is about. This

50
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.360
is where King Kong died. The Warby is a film here,

51
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:40.759
son of Sam was born here. You know where they

52
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:43.479
filmed The first ghostbus is here? Do you understand that

53
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.199
the marshmallow Man walked through here? I'm gonna holler at

54
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:46.680
you later.

55
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:50.000
The just for laughs lineup is out. I will do

56
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:54.039
that tomorrow because I want to talk about this historian people.

57
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:58.400
The headline is Amy Schumer, the unnamed celebrity stranger that

58
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:03.000
Hilaria Baldwin calls out in new book. Hilaria talks about

59
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:06.240
a mystery celebrity in her new memoir am Manuel not included,

60
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:08.199
and Hilaria writes, I don't need to use her name

61
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:10.800
and I don't want any problems with her. No matter what,

62
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:13.120
I hope I never meet her. No people think it

63
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:17.080
might be Amy Schumer. Schumer has previously called Baldwin a sociopath.

64
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:21.319
In her comedy Special Emergency Contact, Hilario writes about a

65
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.120
famous person, someone I've never met, who' said nasty and

66
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:27.560
untrue things about me and my family and that she

67
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.439
even tried to bait me and Alec via Instagram. We

68
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.599
didn't engage with her, and I guess I'm proud of

69
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:34.520
that and made me mad at the system. But here

70
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:36.439
in this book is where I can talk about it.

71
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:38.400
I don't need to use her name, and I don't

72
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:39.960
want any problems with her, and I'd like to be

73
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:41.840
left out of any articles that mention her because she

74
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:45.919
has nothing to do with me, A total stranger. In

75
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.120
Amy twenty twenty three Special Emergency Contact, Schumer said, I'm

76
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.280
not trying to bullie a sociopath. I have a point.

77
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.240
My point is that all evidence points to this woman

78
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:56.319
since she met her husband, has straight up pretended to

79
00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:59.680
be from Spain. People tells us in December of twenty twenty,

80
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:03.199
Schumer posted some of Hilario's family photos on her own

81
00:04:03.240 --> 00:04:06.719
Instagram page, later deleting them and apologizing to Hilaria, who

82
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:10.639
spoke out after receiving negative comments. In twenty twenty one.

83
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:14.159
Schumer told Entertainment Tonight she deleted the posts after Hilaria

84
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.920
quote seemed a little bit upset. I was just like,

85
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:18.439
I don't want to be mean, and she seemed like

86
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:20.720
maybe it hurt her feelings. I took it down. She's

87
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:22.800
amazing and I wish her and her family the best,

88
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:24.519
and I hope she gets to visit Spain as much

89
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.879
as she wants. Look, she's a mom. I don't want

90
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:29.480
them to be going through a bad time. But also,

91
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.160
you can't just pretend you're from Spain. Now. If you

92
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:35.160
google is Hilaria from Spain, things will come up. I'll

93
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:38.399
source here from Vox. They seem pretty reputable. They write

94
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:41.519
the idealized Hilaria was born in New YORKA speaks with

95
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.600
an accent. Doesn't know the English word for cucumbers, jocks

96
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.720
are fun, does Flamenco love speedboats, drinks hamp milk, eats

97
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.399
lentils in Paea, and does a plethora of workout classes.

98
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.519
Then they had Hillary was born in Massachusetts, went to

99
00:04:53.560 --> 00:04:56.279
NYU and has a brother named Jeremy Fox. Source is

100
00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:00.439
somebody named Tracy Egan Morrissey, who looked into all this

101
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.920
back then in a series of Instagram stories. Morrissey explains

102
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:07.360
that Hilaria's Spanish origin story again from Hilario, stating in

103
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.680
multiple features with Ola that she was born in Spain

104
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:13.959
and Spanish was her native language. Baldwin's bio on her

105
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:17.399
CAAA speaking engagement site states that she was born in mayerca.

106
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.439
Hilaria also had stated in a previous interview she moved

107
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.399
to America at nineteen to attend to NYU. Morrissey debunks

108
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:28.000
the claims, pointing out that Hilaria is actually Hillary Hayward Thomas,

109
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.639
who graduated high school from the Cambridge School of Weston

110
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.959
in Weston, mass And there's also a video where the

111
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:38.399
mother seems to stumble over her own daughter's name. Anyway,

112
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:41.040
that's a lot of fun. I hope Amy Schumer jumps

113
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.240
back in and That's why I'm gonna cover JFL tomorrow.

114
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.600
Bert Krasier explained how he lost fifty pounds Men's Fitness

115
00:05:48.639 --> 00:05:51.639
on the case they covered it. Graysier said he did

116
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.279
it by just eating three things. Okay, what are the

117
00:05:54.360 --> 00:05:58.639
three things? Steak, eggs, and spinach. Bert says, I went

118
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.480
to carnivore all ever eight eggs, Rebbi saw Tate spinach. Dude,

119
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.680
I lost like fifty five pounds. Inflammation went away. I

120
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:09.079
felt so clean, No booze, no nothing. Nate Bergatzy was

121
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.360
on Fallon, I'm a little NATed out this week. Nate

122
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:16.160
is playing Madison Square Garden in September. Nate told Fallon,

123
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.079
as everybody who has followed my career knows that tonight

124
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:19.800
show has meant a lot to me because I was

125
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:22.399
just doing stand up to now doing it Madison Square Garden,

126
00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:23.839
So I thought it would be very nice would you

127
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:25.879
come over and do the shows with me at MSG.

128
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.680
The audience approved. Fallon appeared hesitant, arguing that he hasn't

129
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.439
done stand up regularly in a decade and doesn't have

130
00:06:33.480 --> 00:06:36.800
an act. Nate pointed out that Fallen opened for him before.

131
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.480
That is true. Fallan opened for Nate and Albany and

132
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:41.920
Syracuse last year. Nate said, you know it works in

133
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:43.920
Syracuse and Albany, so now it's time to take it

134
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:47.680
to the big top. Fallon has accepted, but was curious,

135
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:49.519
what do I do you want me to do? Impressions.

136
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:53.319
John Oliver wants the Iowa Cubs to change their name.

137
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:56.240
For a little bit. He was making fun of some

138
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:58.920
of the crazy minor league team names and then got

139
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:03.319
into Iowa Cubs and said, they're pretty disappointing because in

140
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.399
not embracing the glorious eccentricity of the magnificent league they

141
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.360
belong to, they're kind of leaving money on the table.

142
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.600
That's where we come in. We are willing to use

143
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:13.800
all our resources and stupidity to give one minor league

144
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:16.079
baseball team a total rebrand. We'll give you a new name,

145
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:19.040
a new mascot leaving through you with theme night. If

146
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:22.079
the Iowa Cubs aren't interested, other teams can reach out

147
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.759
at John Oliver at buntstuff dot com. I wonder what

148
00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:27.839
happens if you go to bunt stuff dot com. Let's

149
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.839
find out. Apparently the domain is parked, but they have

150
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.079
the email account. I guess these Saint Paul Saints jumped

151
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:36.560
in on social media and said they have already contacted

152
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:39.160
John Oliver's team and they are prepared to accept the offer.

153
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:42.879
On Gossip Corner, Monique was on Shannon Sharp's podcast and said,

154
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.199
I'm grateful I'm not fifty six and trying. I'm looking

155
00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:47.959
right at you. I ain't backing down. You better take

156
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.160
your old butt and get someone to love you. You don't

157
00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:51.920
need no twenty six year old girl. You don't need

158
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:54.079
