Her father, who was listening to the song “Amie” tells the doctor, “I hate this song” and that Amy “was named after this song.”

In December 2016, Schumer revealed she purchased her family’s farm after her father lost it due to his diagnosis and his filing for bankruptcy.

“Video from the farm when I was running away in the cornfield and my dad was taunting me because I wanted him to come with me,” she at the time to fans. “We lost the farm when we lost everything else. But, today, I got to buy it back for him.”
