It's you want to believe you're 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:24.760 the best version of yourself all the time. But like, 0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:26.880 sometimes I'll be on stage and I'm thinking of the 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:30.120 next joke while doing the words of the joke that 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.160 I'm currently in, and I'm like, you know, and You're like, well, 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.640 how am I going to get over to you know, 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:39.560 my parents from this this joke when I'm talking about like, 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:41.319 you're just trying to find these bridges? 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:42.840 So I I yeah, it's the worst. 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.679 Yeah, what were you doing in Toronto recently? 0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:46.880 I did shows? 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.040 I was just so, you're from Toronto, right, Serena? 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.040 I am, And my sister follows you.

Like I don't need to go to Chicago 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:45.440 and get a deep dish, Like I think that's like, 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.399 it's not like what I'm looking to do. I want 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:49.639 to go to like a place that people are like, 0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:52.040 this is somewhere I go on my every day. 0:02:52.200 --> 0:02:53.520 I love it, I enjoy it. 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:56.840 So I went to two places in Toronto has probably 0:02:57.760 --> 0:02:59.480 one of the best food scenes in the world. 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:02.640 Like there's no the width of. 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.520 It, the the creativity of it. 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.559 I'm like a super. 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.400 I mean, that's a that's a stretcher. 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:10.320 That's not a stretch. 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:15.799 It's because I love and I think they have great food. 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.160 But I'm one of the best in the world. I 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:19.320 would say, I don't know. 0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:21.799 Well, I wanted to where you wait in Toronto. 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.440 Okay, So I went to I did the dan Forth Theater, 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.280 I did Black Camel, and then I went to Menita, 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.880 which was in like what felt like Toronto's Brooklyn. I 0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:35.360 saw shoes strung up on wires and I was like, okay. 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.720 And I saw everyone was dressed, you know, homeless chic, 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.640 and I was like, this must be there Toronto or 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:46.240 there Brooklyn. Menita Cafe was unbelievable. I was a huge fan. 0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:49.000 So those are my two recommendations. Go to Black Camel, 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.400 go to Medina Cafe. Anita had like a forty five 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:53.000 minute wait. 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.240 Wow, said these places you gotta go, you gotta go. 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:59.520 I I had the I had the soaper soda sandwich, 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:01.720 something I would never get. And listen, I know that's 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.440 offensive to Joe. He's like, that's an Italian sandwich. I'm 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:05.920 not gonna go to Toronto. I have it time as. 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.120 Italian as you get. Right, it was the Italian sandwich. 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.200 I'd say, one of the top sandwiches I've ever had. 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:12.280 It's on my Instagram right now. 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.400 I put it.

So it's been like kind of a true 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.279 pleasure to do these shows on the road and like 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.480 see people connect in like a really cool way. And 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:19.640 so I'm happy to be This is all to say, 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:20.640 I haven't shut the fuck up. 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.400 This is all to say I'm happy to be here. 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:25.240 Love Toronto. 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:29.680 Okay, let's get into the episode real quick. I just 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:33.400 want to ask you just another comedian question, just when 0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:36.360 are you going to start? Like, so, your your special 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:40.159 came out on Netflix does really well. Now you're touring, 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:45.479 when when do you start new material? Like when you 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:48.200 start working on like how long? What's that process? How long? 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:52.800 So I think a good special takes two years to 0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:57.960 like figure out in my opinion, I tape my special 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:00.440 thirty seven single on Netflix right now. You can watch 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:07.400 it anytime on December tenth, twenty twenty two. Now that's 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.039 like the fun of being a comedian and also the 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:11.000 scariest part. 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:14.159 You go from December tenth, twenty twenty two. 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.440 You spew out all the jokes that have worked, all 0:06:17.480 --> 0:06:20.359 the crutches all you know, when you're on stage and 0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:22.880 you're bombing, you can go to that joke you have 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:26.600 from five years ago. On December tenth, twenty twenty two, 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:30.960 you now have zero minutes of material, and that's like fun. 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.559 It was freeing for me because I was doing jokes 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.000 in the special about when I was twenty seven, when 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:38.600 I was thirty, when I was thirty one. 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:39.919 I taped it at thirty seven. 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.279 Now I'm at zero, and I can talk about anything 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:45.880 I want. And it becomes like who who do you 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:47.440 want to be? What type of comedian do you want 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.800 to be? Like I really do believe that, and I 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:52.760 you know, I still did material from the special because 0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.400 it wasn't out, you know, December eleventh, twenty twenty two. 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:57.359 I have time until it comes out, and at that 0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:00.000 point I didn't it was maybe gonna go on YouTube. 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.200 Netflix didn't come around until July, so it came out 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.680 in August, I would say August fifteenth. 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:06.440 That's when it came out. 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.039 That next weekend, I had a whole new hour to 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.200 tour with it kind of pushed me off the ledge 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.880 so and it forces you to write it for if 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.600 you care. Some people do a special, they don't care. 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:19.240 They don't want to be a stand up comedian. They 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:20.800 kind of want to just do the special and then 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.680 do that material forever and maybe do crowd work. That's 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.880 not what I love. I love doing telling stories, doing jokes. 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.800 And December eleventh, I started working on this story about 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:31.560 going into the beach with my parents, and it went 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.200 from and when I really got to work on it, 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:44.640 I went to Europe in May. I did shows in Dublin, Belfast, London, Copenhagen, Oslo, Berlin, Amsterdam. 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:46.360 I did all those. I did a European tour. 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.040 And when you do stand up in Europe, you know, 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.840 stand up is an American art form. It was invented here. 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.520 It's one of the few things that is purely American. 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:57.080 So you go there and they do like a different 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.480 version of it. It's a little different. It's a little slower, 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.520 it's a little story length, like you're not gonna get 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:04.920 a you know America. You get jokes every ten seconds 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:06.760 because the audience would literally. 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.320 Murder you if hey not laughing right, this is an America. 0:08:09.960 --> 0:08:13.760 Yous said us, said so I, but in Europe they 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.760 kind of give you the opportunity to tell a longer story. 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:19.800 So I went there with a twenty minute story about 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:21.800 my parents and going to the beach with my parents. 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.080 By the end of the three weeks, I was like, 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:25.960 I'm at forty minutes. I think this could be a 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:29.400 full hour. So it came quickly. But then now I'm 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.280 in this phase of like refining it. I'm going to 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:35.120 do the VIC in Chicago Big Theater. I'm doing two shows. 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:37.360 I'm gonna sing, dance and dust. I'm gonna bring it. 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.000 But like there's parts of the story that I'm like 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.680 still tinkering with. But I think it's ready now because 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:45.080 I'm sitting here, you know, February twenty ninth of twenty 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.880 twenty four, and you know, I'm ready to like tape this. 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:50.880 I'm ready to have like a do date. 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:53.880 So if you're a real stand up comedian, the minute 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:55.959 that special goes out is the minute you have zero. 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.400 And it's scary, but it's it's also been a blast. 0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:02.160 Like my parents came to the show and saw the story, 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:04.800 like they I go to the comedy seller, and I 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.120 was doing all these jokes about my mom and dad, 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.000 and then my parents came to a show and the 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:11.640 staff there, who I'm friends with, they're like, have they 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:15.480 heard this yet?

Like 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:32.400 it was like this like hot, just babe. I don't 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:33.720 know there's a better way to put it. And I 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.680 I just with the trees and the willows and the 0:14:37.720 --> 0:14:39.000 white and he's in white. 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:40.960 They look no, it looked like a movie like her 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:43.360 on that tandem bike through the trees. I was like, 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:46.080 this is a Julia Roberts wrong com that I'm watching. 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:47.960 The White Pants figure out a murder. 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:52.840 It's all like I was like in trance and I 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.320 made fun of kelsey A. She doesn't seem to open 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:56.160 her mouth when she talks. 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:57.560 She's kind of like a ventriloquist. 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.960 But I I do like hers was just so ultrasweet, 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:04.000 and all I could think about is they bring her 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:05.720 to the family and it's all about the mom who 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:08.680 passed away. But like the fact that she's like the 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:14.120 mom's you know, like walking. I don't know there's a 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:16.480 word for this, but like her tribute almost like they 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.480 said that she's so alike the mom. Yeah, even the 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:23.520 sister even said that. And the dad, who the amount 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:25.640 of women are gonna push for him to be on 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:29.480 the Golden Bachelor, I mean, like, I think. 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:31.080 I don't know if he's old enough. 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.120 Though he's got the gray hair, he's got. 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:38.160 A dead wife's over sixty. If he's over sixty, he 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:39.200 would be amazing. 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:41.760 Yeah, but yeah, that's what I kept thinking of. He's 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.920 a soft spoken, sweet guy, and to me, it felt 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:47.520 like kelsey A was like ready, I don't know why 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:49.400 it just felt like she was into him. 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.440 It felt like he was ready for her. 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:55.320 The dynamic felt right, but she became the background with 0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:58.280 which everything else got judged, because then when we go 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:03.440 to Rachel, you're like, oh, this is a little different, 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:07.800 Like this is uncomfortable. Rachel also bringing up the fact 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:09.680 that she's like the last guy I brought home. Dump 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:12.280 me or I dumped him. It didn't end well. My 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.520 parents are overprotecting.
