Speaker 1: and did you hear that knock on the door? It
Speaker 1: could be your weed. Plus, we have two guests on
Speaker 1: the show tonight, journalists and documentary and sold out O'Brien
Speaker 1: is here, and then Amy Schuman is also gonna be
Speaker 1: joining us on the show. So let's do those people.
Speaker 1: Let's come straight into today's headlines fight. Before we get
Speaker 1: into the big stories, let's catch up on a few
Speaker 1: other things going on in the world. In tech news,
Speaker 1: TikTok has officially announced that users will now be able
Speaker 1: to run live streams for adults only. But before you
Speaker 1: get excited, the app says that nudity and sexually explicit
Speaker 1: content will still be prohibited, which like, what what what's
Speaker 1: adult themed if it's not sex and nudity? And I
Speaker 1: was just like, who's ready to watch me refinance my mortgage?
Speaker 1: The interest rates are so huge right now, I don't
Speaker 1: think I can afford to live in my house anymore.
Speaker 1: In international news, Japan's oldest toilets, which was five hundred
Speaker 1: years old, was destroyed when a man accidentally backed his
Speaker 1: car up over it. You know, I've heard about people
Speaker 1: trying to cover up what they did in the bathroom,
Speaker 1: but this is doesn't take me. It a step too far.
Speaker 1: It's also amazing how putting the word oldest suddenly adds
Speaker 1: gravitas to something that none of us actually care about.
Speaker 1: He broke the toilet, so it was the oldest toilet.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I need to call my mom. And by
Speaker 1: the way, if you're wondering, the oldest toilets in New
Speaker 1: York City is the subway um and some consuming news.
Speaker 1: Uber eats has announced that they will start delivering weed
Speaker 1: in Toronto, Canada, which is amazing. Yeah, we delivery What
Speaker 1: a game changing service? That no one has already been
Speaker 1: using forever, especially under the name of guy on my phone. Wow.
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on some of the biggest stories
Speaker 1: of the day. We are now in the home stretch
Speaker 1: of the midterm campaign season, which means it's almost that
Speaker 1: time of the year when you wake up on that
Speaker 1: one special morning in November and you're like, oh, ship,
Speaker 1: I forgot to vote yesterday. And with just three weeks ago,
Speaker 1: this is the last chance for the candidates and the
Speaker 1: shadowy billionaires who fund them to make their case to
Speaker 1: the voters. And as always, they're making that case through
Speaker 1: campaign ads. In fact, a record nine point seven billion
Speaker 1: dollars worth of ads. So if you live in a
Speaker 1: string state, basically every ad you're seeing on TV right
Speaker 1: now is a campaign ad. By the time November comes around,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be praying to see the ads that you
Speaker 1: used to hate. No more. Please, I just want to know,
Speaker 1: and Toyota thought, and it's on please now. I don't
Speaker 1: need to tell you, guys, but political ads in America
Speaker 1: can get pretty wild. They really can. And as the
Speaker 1: country becomes more and more polarized, the type of political
Speaker 1: ads that come out become more and more intense. So
Speaker 1: I figured, let's enjoy some of the It's just Blockbusters
Speaker 1: and another installments A vote Demmick Fie, let's start our
Speaker 1: ad watch with the Republicans now for this election. They
Speaker 1: want everything to be focused on three issues, inflation, crime,
Speaker 1: and pretending they didn't hear that thing Trump just said.
Speaker 1: So they've been running ads emphasizing these issues. You know,
Speaker 1: some of them have been subtle, but Louisiana Senator John
Speaker 1: Kennedy has decided that subtle is not his style. Violent
Speaker 1: crime is surging in Louisiana. Woke leaders blame the police.
Speaker 1: I blame the criminals. A mom should not have to
Speaker 1: look over her shoulder when she's pumping gas. I voted
Speaker 1: against the early release of violent criminals, and I opposed
Speaker 1: defunding the police. Look, if you hate cops just because
Speaker 1: the cops, the next time you get in trouble, call crackhead.
Speaker 1: I'm John killing and I proved this. Miss Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: all right, First of all, nobody's gonna call a crackhead.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna text a crackhead. Such a crazy way to
Speaker 1: frame things, though, Right, he's like violent crime crack hair.
Speaker 1: The Center is acting like cup and crackhead are the
Speaker 1: only two options. That's it. What about social workers? What
Speaker 1: about mental health experts? What about heroin addicts? There's all
Speaker 1: ranged people. It's also weird for a guy who's been
Speaker 1: in office for six years to complain about crime and
Speaker 1: then campaign on it. I find it a a little strange.
Speaker 1: He's like, ever since I got in the office, crime
Speaker 1: has exploded. Reelect me so I can figure out what's
Speaker 1: going on all because I like, I don't know where
Speaker 1: this logic goes, right, Because no matter what happens, Republicans
Speaker 1: always want more cops. Crime is up, we need more cops.
Speaker 1: Crime is down, We need more cops. Like, what the
Speaker 1: plan just to keep hiring until the entire population is
Speaker 1: just cops? Yeah? That way, I got an eye on me. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Maybe the solution is just to hire crackheads as cops. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because first of all, they're always there when you need them.
Speaker 1: And say what you will about cops versus crackheads, but
Speaker 1: at least the crackhead is not going to plant crack
Speaker 1: on you. They're keeping it for themselves. It works out,
Speaker 1: And I know it might be a little crazy, but
Speaker 1: you've gotta admit a crackhead detective show. That sounds like
Speaker 1: a great idea for a c s I spinoff. The
Speaker 1: victim is on the table next to the flowers that
Speaker 1: he bought for Valentine's Day. I guess that means it's
Speaker 1: time to go smoke some crack. We have cremis now. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Democrats have a whole different set of issues that they
Speaker 1: want to emphasize. Voters don't trust them on the economy
Speaker 1: or inflation right now, so the Damns want this election
Speaker 1: to be about things like climate change, protecting democracy, and
Speaker 1: pretending that they didn't hear the thing that Joe Biden
Speaker 1: just said. But the main issue Democrats are running on
Speaker 1: is reproductive rights, and California Congressman Eric Swowell just put
Speaker 1: out one of the most hardcore campaign ads you've ever seen.
Speaker 1: Larry Anderson. Yes, I have a warrant for your arrests
Speaker 1: for what unlawful termination of a pregnancy. You gotta be
Speaker 1: kidding me that that is my personal business. That's for
Speaker 1: the courts to decide. Man, your medical records have been
Speaker 1: subpoena and Dr Landry's already in custody. No, God, you
Speaker 1: can you do you can't. We'll have to submit to
Speaker 1: a physical examination. What no, kids, turn them out, put
Speaker 1: your hands behind your back up, love you me there,
Speaker 1: We're just enforcing the law here. Elections have consequences. Vogue
Speaker 1: Democrat on November eight. Holy shit, that was intense. You
Speaker 1: don't usually expect a campaign had to turn into an
Speaker 1: episode of Black Mirror? What was that? I actually feel
Speaker 1: bad for the shows that had to come back from
Speaker 1: that ad break? Did you see that was? Why is
Speaker 1: this happening? Mom? You'll never see your mother again? And
Speaker 1: now back to young Sheldon. Look, it is wild. It
Speaker 1: is wild how overturning Row has upended society so much
Speaker 1: that now white women can be a skin of the
Speaker 1: police as black people are. And yes, and yes, this
Speaker 1: add is obviously exaggerating things to make a point, but
Speaker 1: it is true that in many states in America, cops
Speaker 1: could show up at your door if you had an abortion.
Speaker 1: They could arrest you, and they could force you to
Speaker 1: have a physical examination. I mean, ironically, it's probably the
Speaker 1: only free healthcare you'll ever get in America. And so
Speaker 1: I know, I know that the ad was a little heavy,
Speaker 1: so I thought, you know, let's lighten things up with
Speaker 1: the with the local campaign ad for Lynda Paulson out
Speaker 1: of Utah. Now you probably look at this picture and
Speaker 1: you think, oh, there's no way this little old lady
Speaker 1: could spit fire over a dope wrap me. Well, guess
Speaker 1: what You're right? Hey, YouTube District twelve. Listen up right here,
Speaker 1: there's a new name on the ballot for the Senate
Speaker 1: this year. I'm pro religious, free the pro life, pro police,
Speaker 1: the right to bear arms, and the right to free speed.
Speaker 1: But in schools they're pushing for new beliefs. And just
Speaker 1: to clarify, as a female adult, I know what a
Speaker 1: woman is. If you share my values, if you like
Speaker 1: what I stand for, then give me your vote on
Speaker 1: the eighth of November. District twelve needs a choice. Let
Speaker 1: me be your voice. Linda Poulson Linda Poulson for Senate.
Speaker 1: I I don't exactly know how, but I'm pretty sure
Speaker 1: that that was racism. I don't know how. I don't
Speaker 1: if you don't If you noticed that? Did you? Do
Speaker 1: you notice that? At some point the beat stopped, but
Speaker 1: it stopped itself like she was so off beat. It's
Speaker 1: almost like the beat was like, am I the one
Speaker 1: missing up? But wait, what do you know? I'm here?
Speaker 1: What is happening. Yeah, gangster wrapped Linda. Unfortunately, after recording
Speaker 1: that track, Linda was hit in the drive by shooting. Yes, tragic,
Speaker 1: but when you're in the game, you're in the game
Speaker 1: all the way. Here's my question, here's my question. Who
Speaker 1: is this fall? Who is this at fall? Right? Because
Speaker 1: she is a conservative Republican in Utah, Nobody who supports
Speaker 1: her likes rap, and nobody who likes rap is gonna
Speaker 1: see this video and be like, man, I wasn't gonna
Speaker 1: vote for Republicans, but her flute just can't be denied.
Speaker 1: Be And by the way, if you are a politician
Speaker 1: who insists in rapping in a campaign video, can you
Speaker 1: at least try wrapping in a style from this century? Huh?
Speaker 1: I'm Lynda de Polson and I'm here just your ship
Speaker 1: is calling him, Miss Poulson, get with the times. I
Speaker 1: think you like use a trap beats at least. In fact,
Speaker 1: the trap beats is actually better for politicians because nobody
Speaker 1: can understand what you're saying. You can just dodge any
Speaker 1: moments at any debate or any reporter you know, just
Speaker 1: be like, Senator, what is your position on cutting medicare? Well,
Speaker 1: here's what I do. Sit him back, and he cand
Speaker 1: of mapping him a little, And I think that answers
Speaker 1: your question. Hopeful me. You know what I was thinking
Speaker 1: is like, when you think about it, Joe Biden has
Speaker 1: basically been doing trapped music this whole time. Remember here,
Speaker 1: come on, man, remember all right, that's it for today's headlines.
Speaker 1: Let's move on to something that everyone loves. It's time
Speaker 1: to check in on today's lotto numbers without very own

Speaker 1: I'm gonna be trying to show that brass, so don't
Speaker 1: go away. Welcome to day show, my first as an
Speaker 1: award winning journalist who's here to talk about her new
Speaker 1: documentary available on Peacock October nineteenth, called The Rebellious Life
Speaker 1: of Mrs Rosa Parks. Please welcome, Sonadad O'Brien, m Welcome
Speaker 1: to the days. Thank you so much. It's nice to
Speaker 1: be here. It nice to be here. In personnel rights,
Speaker 1: we spoke was virtually and now we are here, and
Speaker 1: you are here with honestly one of the most fascinating
Speaker 1: accounts of a life that I feel everybody thinks they
Speaker 1: knows about, and yet nobody does. Rosa Parks. If you
Speaker 1: told me I'm going to make a documentary film about
Speaker 1: Rosa pars A, go why there are so many of them?
Speaker 1: There's never been a documentary about Rosa Parks because everybody
Speaker 1: thinks they know the story of Rosa Parks, but actually
Speaker 1: what you know is mostly not accurate, and there's some
Speaker 1: which that you don't know. So it's a She's an
Speaker 1: absolutely fascinating topic for a duck Well I'll say this
Speaker 1: before I watched the documentary, and you know, maybe until
Speaker 1: a few years ago, I would have always said, the
Speaker 1: story of Rosa Pox is a story of this old
Speaker 1: lady who was a black woman, and she got onto
Speaker 1: a bus and they told her that she had to
Speaker 1: sit at the back of the bus, and she said no,
Speaker 1: and she said at the front, and then her you know,
Speaker 1: momentary moment of rebellion. Day and a half, Max spoked
Speaker 1: this entire civil rights conversation in and around America. Was
Speaker 1: forty two years old when that happened. And in fact,
Speaker 1: she wasn't at the front of the bus. She was
Speaker 1: in the middle of the bus a section four black
Speaker 1: people that when a white person decided to sit there,
Speaker 1: the black people had to get up because white people
Speaker 1: didn't want to sit next to black people here in
Speaker 1: the middle of the bus. And so on that day
Speaker 1: she decided no. The way the story goes was she
Speaker 1: was tired. And when she would tell that story later,
Speaker 1: she said, you know, I tell people that I was tired,
Speaker 1: and I was no more tired than any other workday,
Speaker 1: but I was tired of being pushed around. When she died,
Speaker 1: the New York Times described her as the accidental matriarch,
Speaker 1: but her life story was absolutely not accidental at all.
Speaker 1: It seems like she was not only calculated, but she
Speaker 1: was focused and purposeful in everything that she did for
Speaker 1: She was an active member of the Double A CP.
Speaker 1: She was actively engaging in civil rights and mobilizing people.
Speaker 1: And and this documentary, I think, talks about Rosa Parks,
Speaker 1: but it talks about a larger issue that we have
Speaker 1: in how we shape narratives, and that a lot of
Speaker 1: the time women have been erased from the work that
Speaker 1: they have done in countless movements, not just in America
Speaker 1: but around the world. Yeah. Absolutely, and I think especially
Speaker 1: in the civil rights movement Rosa Parks. And again, I
Speaker 1: never thought about what happened after the Montgomery bus boycott. Right,
Speaker 1: she sits, she sits on the bus, there's a boycott,
Speaker 1: it ends, everybody goes back to normal. Well, no, Rosa
Speaker 1: Parks is never able to work again. And even as
Speaker 1: civil rights legend in her own community, she had to
Speaker 1: move to Detroit. That was part of her reason for
Speaker 1: moving to Detroit. Her husband never able to work again.
Speaker 1: I had no idea she never was able to leverage
Speaker 1: a lot of the money that civil rights leaders were
Speaker 1: able to do speaking around the country, around the globe.
Speaker 1: She had no access to any of that and absolutely
Speaker 1: desperately in need of money. I mean, it was so
Speaker 1: interesting to me to see how wrong we all have
Speaker 1: been about Rosa Parks. She was an activist for decades,
Speaker 1: decade after decade after I mean, she she was a
Speaker 1: fan of Dr King and a big fan of Malcolm X.
Speaker 1: She will work with the Black Panthers like Rosa Parks.
Speaker 1: You see, you don't you don't. You don't reae this
Speaker 1: until you watch a documentary like this and you see
Speaker 1: the story being told. Do you think in a case
Speaker 1: like this it is actively people trying to push Rosa
Speaker 1: Parks out of a narrative or is it just unfortunately
Speaker 1: a byproduct of the world that's focused on the men
Speaker 1: who are doing the same thing that the women are.
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit of both. So I
Speaker 1: think I think when you get to write the narrative,
Speaker 1: then the men will star in the narrative. It's their
Speaker 1: story and they'll tell it. But I also think, I mean,
Speaker 1: Dorothy Hight was one of the owners of the March
Speaker 1: on Washington, did not get to speak at all, but
Speaker 1: there she was the one of the organizers. So I
Speaker 1: think part of it is that just not allowed to
Speaker 1: kind of be part of that story. But I'm always
Speaker 1: interested in why are we so comfortable with this accidental
Speaker 1: civil rights leader when she literally from the time she
Speaker 1: was a child, she was mad about how white children
Speaker 1: were able to have buses and go to school and
Speaker 1: better schools, and she was able to go to like
Speaker 1: she knew it from the time she was a little kid.
Speaker 1: There was absolutely nothing that was accidental about her. So
Speaker 1: why do we feel so comfortable with this lesson of
Speaker 1: it was just soft and easy and comfortable, and then
Speaker 1: one day there was this thing and then she said,
Speaker 1: and then it ended and the end. Do you think
Speaker 1: do you think that sometimes it's because people like to
Speaker 1: hear about a story that seems to happen organically, because
Speaker 1: oftentimes movements may fall under the weight of somebody's idea
Speaker 1: of how planned or calculates they were. Because when you
Speaker 1: look at all civil rights leaders around the world, you know,
Speaker 1: whether it's Martin Luther King Jr. Whether it's Malcolm X,
Speaker 1: whether it's Nelson Mandela, whoever it is, Winnie Mandela, who
Speaker 1: whoever it is. Anyway you go you find that they
Speaker 1: were a lot more planned and calculated in fighting for
Speaker 1: people's liberation than they were given the credit for at times.
Speaker 1: And so do you do you ever wonder if it's
Speaker 1: a if it's almost what society wants. I think it's
Speaker 1: a better narrative. I think it's more interesting to be
Speaker 1: accidental when she clearly was not. I also think the
Speaker 1: work of civil rights, whether it is Nelson, Mandela or anyone,
Speaker 1: is a slog It literally is almost boring story. Day
Speaker 1: after day, year after year, decade after decade. You took
Speaker 1: two steps forward and sometimes three steps back, but sometimes
Speaker 1: one step back, right, Like that's really the story. And
Speaker 1: I kind of like that story because I think people
Speaker 1: should have an honest sense of how it actually works.
Speaker 1: Then not one day someone accidentally stumbles upon being the
Speaker 1: matriarch of the civil rights Like, that's insane, it makes
Speaker 1: no sense. Right, of course, it's planning. Of course, it's strategy.
Speaker 1: Of course it's intentional. I think we undermine all the
Speaker 1: work that went into the civil rights movement by pretending
Speaker 1: that somehow a handful of people stumble together during the
Speaker 1: bus boycott. It is amazing to me that teachers sent
Speaker 1: home notes with little children saying on Monday, tell your parents,
Speaker 1: do not put you on the bus. No one told
Speaker 1: anyone the secret did not get out. It was a
Speaker 1: complete surprise. I mean, how organized by women and calculated
Speaker 1: does that have to be that not one kid mentioned
Speaker 1: to anybody like there's gonna be a boycott on Monday.
Speaker 1: I think that is insane and important and impressive. So
Speaker 1: why not know the real story? And why bother with
Speaker 1: this fake story? It is genius also because if you
Speaker 1: give a kid a note to take home to their
Speaker 1: mom might not get there. They don't want to talk
Speaker 1: at old so they're just like, oh, they told me
Speaker 1: to give you this. No Mom, It's like, is it
Speaker 1: about me? No? No, we're good. Oh good lord, thank you.
Speaker 1: I really loved watching this because I think it tells
Speaker 1: a story that needs to be told, and I think
Speaker 1: it encourages people. If you ask me, because to what
Speaker 1: you're saying about building and growing, I think we do
Speaker 1: live in a society where people think that change happens overnight,
Speaker 1: and when you see how long the slug is and
Speaker 1: when you see the results from that time that gets
Speaker 1: put in, I think it maybe sometimes becomes inspiring to
Speaker 1: know that that change can take effect. Yeah, thank you
Speaker 1: so much for joining me on the show. Wonderful senior,
Speaker 1: gain fired. Everybody, stay true because when we come back,
Speaker 1: Amy Schuman is gonna be joining me on the show.
Speaker 1: So it don't go away. Thank you, Bramach. Look about
Speaker 1: to the Day Show My Next Death tonight as an
Speaker 1: actor and a comedian who's currently on a nationwide stand
Speaker 1: up comedy and the fifth season of her show Inside,
Speaker 1: Amy Schumer will from Mere October twentie on Paramount Plus.
Speaker 1: Please welcome Amy Schumer, Amy Schumer, Trevor now, welcome to
Speaker 1: The Daily Show. Thank you. I'm gonna miss you. Don't leave.
Speaker 1: What do you mean? I mean, you know what I mean. Wait, wait,
Speaker 1: but you make it, you make it sound like I'm
Speaker 1: like I'm dying. I'll see you in comedy clubs. I'll
Speaker 1: see you. You're you're on tour, you're doing other things.
Speaker 1: But I don't want to see you in person. I
Speaker 1: want to see you on TV where you belong. It's
Speaker 1: good to see you back where you belong Inside, Amy Schumer.
Speaker 1: We have waited such a long time. It was critically acclaimed.
Speaker 1: What are you in? Like three Emmy Awards, Right nominated
Speaker 1: multiple times. You've been up there accepting it. It was huge,
Speaker 1: and then you disappeared. You became a movie star, and
Speaker 1: then you worked on a New York Times Best link book,
Speaker 1: and then it was just like Amy's gone. And then
Speaker 1: it's like, no, Amy's back now, still doing everything else,
Speaker 1: Like why do you make us wait this long? Um? Well,
Speaker 1: first of all, I'm so sorry about that. Uh I.
Speaker 1: You know, like you know, somebody in the media, but
Speaker 1: especially a woman, people get annoyed when they see you
Speaker 1: too much. So you have to kind of disappear a
Speaker 1: little bit and then you like pop out like a groundhog,
Speaker 1: you know, just like I'm still here, you know. But
Speaker 1: then it's just, you know, you just want to burn
Speaker 1: women to the steak, you know. But I mean, really,
Speaker 1: it's just it's which makes me want to give a
Speaker 1: shout out to the Iranian women right now. Nay. It
Speaker 1: is when you when you look at a situation like
Speaker 1: what's happening in Iran and you think of some of
Speaker 1: the positions that you've taken, like let's say, in stand up,
Speaker 1: where where you've gone? You know, Amy should shut up
Speaker 1: about this, Amy shouldn't talk about that. Oh, you know,
Speaker 1: politics is not your place is shut up and be funny. Actually,
Speaker 1: you're not even funny. It it feels like and I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not even comparing the two words, by the way,
Speaker 1: but it feels like there was a certain level of
Speaker 1: there's a camaraderie around the world right now where women
Speaker 1: are saying we experience many instances of men policing us
Speaker 1: on how we do or dress, or say or perform.
Speaker 1: And in the in creating your show, do you think
Speaker 1: of that first? Is that like what's on the top
Speaker 1: of your mind? Or do you just naturally go into
Speaker 1: that as Amy because everything you do is so scathing
Speaker 1: and insightful. Thank you. UM tell my husband that I
Speaker 1: d love a little respect at home, but um announced
Speaker 1: But no, I you know, I don't even I think
Speaker 1: I was one of those people who was like, didn't
Speaker 1: identify as a feminist, Like didn't know what it meant
Speaker 1: that it just meant equality and it but it's always
Speaker 1: just been in me. And so the show, like some
Speaker 1: journalists onetime said it was like sneaking shaved carrots in
Speaker 1: with the brownies, which you know, it's like this show too.
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's like people don't want to feel
Speaker 1: like they're learning something. But if you can make people
Speaker 1: laugh and and have a point, and that's that's the
Speaker 1: only way I want to learn anything. That's the only
Speaker 1: way I like learning things. You do that in the show.
Speaker 1: You also you've also shared a part of your life
Speaker 1: that has been particularly interesting. I found, you know, there
Speaker 1: used to be a period where Amy Schumer was all jokes,
Speaker 1: all facade, and then something changed. You. You started sharing
Speaker 1: the ups and downs. You know, you talked about plastic
Speaker 1: surgery and your journey. You you talked about childbirth, you
Speaker 1: talked about being a mother, and where everyone thought it
Speaker 1: would only land in a punchline, they started, you know,
Speaker 1: they started being a lot more vulnerability. I would love
Speaker 1: to know why you chose that, because it feels like
Speaker 1: you're just opening yourself up and people luckily loved what
Speaker 1: you did. But why would you choose to do that?
Speaker 1: I think it came from uh not being raised well
Speaker 1: uh no, I mean, you know, but you know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like like you're supposed to have healthy boundaries
Speaker 1: and I just never developed those. So I mean, I'm joking,
Speaker 1: but I'm also serious with I feel better when I
Speaker 1: share things about myself when I admit to the most
Speaker 1: horrible thing. Like I've been listening to this podcast. It's
Speaker 1: like Secrets or something. It's it's really like you feel
Speaker 1: sick listening to it, but it's, uh, you just you
Speaker 1: feel weightlifted. And then I just I found that when
Speaker 1: I was honest about my struggles and um, the things
Speaker 1: I was battling with that I was ashamed of, people
Speaker 1: were expressing like me too, and that made me feel
Speaker 1: so much better. And so that that that makes me
Speaker 1: feel like it's worth worth opening my mouth, you know
Speaker 1: that to make people laugh and feel better and and
Speaker 1: and to be authentic. You know, I think people can
Speaker 1: tell it's it's a challenge though it is because there's
Speaker 1: there's authenticity, but there's also you still performing, and so
Speaker 1: you always trying to find that balance. Do your friends
Speaker 1: or family ever say, Amy, that's that's a little too much.
Speaker 1: I've learned to ask people if they don't want jokes
Speaker 1: about them, and that it's not worth it to burn
Speaker 1: the bridges with your friends and family. What do you
Speaker 1: what do you think you're gonna do? Like with kids,
Speaker 1: are you you know, because I mean a lot of
Speaker 1: comedians think that kids are be funny and they all.
Speaker 1: You have to admit they all. But then now you know,
Speaker 1: some kids might go, I don't like that you told
Speaker 1: that joke about me. Oh yeah, I don't plan on
Speaker 1: I really I already. Um, you know, like I don't
Speaker 1: think I'm becoming a better parent, but I think I'm
Speaker 1: just getting used to failing, you know, like you just
Speaker 1: fail so hard all the time. And you know what
Speaker 1: I named my son, Oh gosh, okay, first name Gene
Speaker 1: because that was my husband's mother's name. Um. And then
Speaker 1: his last name, my husband lays say, was Fisher, which
Speaker 1: is why I Amy won't take it. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you know who Amy Fisher was. You might have
Speaker 1: missed that, but it's not who you want to share
Speaker 1: Google alert with. And uh. And then I wanted to
Speaker 1: pay tribute to David Tell, my favorite comedian my good friends.
Speaker 1: So we made his middle name of tel. I named
Speaker 1: him Genital Fisher. Please make icons acted with me genital
Speaker 1: fishure Okay, yeah, and so I but I don't want
Speaker 1: to joke about him. I don't try not to post
Speaker 1: pictures of him. I don't want to say anything that
Speaker 1: that that like, you know, you know that change playing
Speaker 1: you could just change the name. Well, yeah, we changed
Speaker 1: to finger banking shit snatch? Is that better? It depends
Speaker 1: on who your audience is. Yeah, you're back on tour now, Yeah,
Speaker 1: filling out some of the biggest arenas around the country,
Speaker 1: traveling wherever you want to. What does Amy Schumer want
Speaker 1: to do now? I'd love to know, like, where do
Speaker 1: you go from here? What are your dreams, what are
Speaker 1: your aspirations? Or do you just cruise through life? Um? Well,
Speaker 1: I love not working like you know. Oh my god,
