Speaker 1: really fun. She came on at what to thirty in
Speaker 1: the morning. Yeah, it was very late, programming late and
Speaker 1: they had a hard out at four am ya, but
Speaker 1: she has to say she did a hard forty five minutes.
Speaker 1: I've never seen dancing like this. A woman got on
Speaker 1: her hands on a raised platform, putting her legs up
Speaker 1: in the air. She took God, she climbed herself top
Speaker 1: an emergency exit and truly where people in the place
Speaker 1: stashed their coats up there, slid some out of the way.
Speaker 1: It could have been killed. Hands on the floor, feet
Speaker 1: on the wall, twerked, could have been killed. Every almost
Speaker 1: actual was screaming. It was until they had a polyp,
Speaker 1: you know. Uh. Friend of our guest, Mary Sassin, texted
Speaker 1: me saying when she saw Frida in l A, that
Speaker 1: same dancer hung from the balcony and twerked that same one.
Speaker 1: I wish I had gotten her name so I could
Speaker 1: follow on Instagram. I love to do that. Whenever I
Speaker 1: go to a show and I like one of the performers,
Speaker 1: I'll promptly follow them on Instagram. Me too, I always
Speaker 1: read a playbill and if they link on Instagram, I
Speaker 1: find them. The chorus boys, particularly the ones who were
Speaker 1: like so excited, dude, chorus boys. I love them. Did
Speaker 1: you stand the best chance? Because they usually have one
Speaker 1: thousand followers or something like they're going to notice or
Speaker 1: he's not gonna notice when I follow him friend of
Speaker 1: the show, and he might notice, you know. Finnian's Rainbow
Speaker 1: was a show that I saw one time, and one
Speaker 1: of the chorus boys that I thought was making eyes
Speaker 1: at me all throughout the evening. I was probably wrong,
Speaker 1: and that was before Instagram. You can fucking imagine that.
Speaker 1: I fully I love when you like buy theater, like
Speaker 1: when you fully fall fall. Oh yeah, when to the illusion.
Speaker 1: First time Hamilton's, First time I saw Hamilton's at the
Speaker 1: Public pre Broadway. Ah Philippa Sue says, you know the
Speaker 1: orphanage single single tier rolls down her face, afterwards, Michael
Speaker 1: Caine was there. We see each other in the lobby
Speaker 1: where like Philippa was really feeling a Cruise Caine, Michael
Speaker 1: Cruise Lane, Hot Daddy. We were like, Philippa was really
Speaker 1: in it tonight, don't you think? And then had to
Speaker 1: talk for five minutes and realized she was acting. But
Speaker 1: we're like, wow, Philippa, but overcome and can I say
Speaker 1: something about needing to remind yourself that it's acting? Oh boy,
Speaker 1: our guests, let me tell you straight from an interview
Speaker 1: with Backstage Magazine, we have our guests lest you need
Speaker 1: reminding that she's an actor and act told let me
Speaker 1: say something about this guest and this is actually the
Speaker 1: real truth. Have you seen the other two season one yet?
Speaker 1: I've seen two thirds of it. Okay, it's really good.
Speaker 1: It's really good, and you know I was actually it
Speaker 1: doesn't fall off at the end. I haven't seen the
Speaker 1: last three apps. But right now I can tell you,
Speaker 1: right now from my mouth to your ears and gods
Speaker 1: who's always here, that the orphanage I put a lecture
Speaker 1: on the end. I always do. You know, it's really
Speaker 1: good even in the end, even so many times shows
Speaker 1: they aren't good in the end link wink um. I
Speaker 1: don't know why I did that, but it's it's good
Speaker 1: all the way through. And I was so moved by
Speaker 1: the show that I picked up my goddamn phone and
Speaker 1: I texted our guest and I said, this was really good.
Speaker 1: I'm awaiting doing that. I hope you don't aren't offended
Speaker 1: that I'm waiting till the end to text you. Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: I was a little bit like, where's the where Social
Speaker 1: I'm actually waiting for the Big Premier as they called
Speaker 1: him industry, the big Premier, which by this time the
Speaker 1: episodes release, it will already be out and all of
Speaker 1: our listeners will already be appreciate. And I just want
Speaker 1: to say who this is. You've seen him on a
Speaker 1: billion dollar properties, You've seen him on the stage of
Speaker 1: the U c B where he is an icon. You've
Speaker 1: seen him on backstage and hostage the same day. He
Speaker 1: is vast, he contains multitude, and his name is Say
Speaker 1: it with me, bitch, Drew Tarvar. Welcome to Loss, as
Speaker 1: you called the today. He lost me and said excited
Speaker 1: for Loss, So I said, yes, you know why, I
Speaker 1: thought I was maybe going to misspell the other word
Speaker 1: I'm I'm pretty stupid. Can I tell you something? It's
Speaker 1: right now? Culturesta. I sounded it out and done it,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to be like hip and cool. I
Speaker 1: was like excited for loss. I listen, I think that's
Speaker 1: really good. Of course today what's very cool as a Brieves. Yes,
Speaker 1: we call a lost culture. You know what. I think
Speaker 1: it's good that you just did owning your ignorance saying
Speaker 1: I'm stupid. You know who? You know? Who's an idiot
Speaker 1: who keeps trying to say this? He always says, last coast,
Speaker 1: last Costa Ricas. Tell my own father is Las Costa
Speaker 1: Rica's going on tour. And I'm like, see how you're
Speaker 1: making it sound like the appropriation it often gets accused
Speaker 1: for me, Costa Rica's Costa Rica, Like, not just one
Speaker 1: of that island, several you were to multiply that. I'm
Speaker 1: on a sketch group called Big Grande. Yes, and I'm
Speaker 1: little word. I don't think it's okay, No, it's we're
Speaker 1: stuck to it. I'm like, is this okay? See? I
Speaker 1: think Big Grande is perfectly fine because the comedy of
Speaker 1: it is the word big and grand they mean the
Speaker 1: same classic comedy of the translation is big big, big Big,
Speaker 1: or for our Hispanic listeners. Yeah, it had nothing to
Speaker 1: do with Arianna Grande. That name no, because she got
Speaker 1: nothing to do with no. Because for a while the
Speaker 1: their their couple name was Big Grande, and we were
Speaker 1: excited about that because we had that name. We had
Speaker 1: the name, of course, and of course, um but they
Speaker 1: stole it. Teams copyright first thing mark. Yeah, we almost
Speaker 1: sell out every time we We were excited to use
Speaker 1: that in some promotional stuff like to come see the
Speaker 1: real Big Grande. We thought, you know that, you know what,
Speaker 1: also could have been really fun. And I find with
Speaker 1: sketch groups often the fun part putt in the poster together. Oh,
Speaker 1: I to love putting the poster together from your show.
Speaker 1: Sometimes take a serious photo and we'll be like, we're artists,
Speaker 1: right of course, And then of course it's it's it's
Speaker 1: actually a really big rule of culture. I'm gonna say it,
Speaker 1: and then we'll repeat. Of course, when you do comedy,
Speaker 1: you have to look hot in pictures. It's actually a
Speaker 1: big rule. Now is this your first big rule? This
Speaker 1: big rule, This is the first big rule of culture.
Speaker 1: You have to start a new list it's it's rule
Speaker 1: number it's it's big rule number one. And when you're
Speaker 1: a comedian, you have to look hot, and everyone here
Speaker 1: is a hot comedian. Yeah, I just looked around it
Speaker 1: and you saw only hot and I saw only comedy people. Right,
Speaker 1: of course, both people at this table. When I first
Speaker 1: met them, I nudged a friend and said, what's their deal?
Speaker 1: I did for which one of you occas said what's
Speaker 1: your deal? I nudged Brandon Scott Jones and said, what's
Speaker 1: your deal? The night we found out probably what your
Speaker 1: deals were the night we made out at the club,
Speaker 1: and I sort of felt your famous. That was the
Speaker 1: second and that was even only two nights after we
Speaker 1: had first met, and I couldn't believe that you showed
Speaker 1: up at that event. And I was like, I think
Speaker 1: this guy seriously wants to film my dick through my jeans,
Speaker 1: and he did. She was We never got there. But
Speaker 1: you know, I'm feeling your ankle right now through absolutely,
Speaker 1: how is it? It's good? Well, you know, it's a
Speaker 1: little swollen, and I was going to say your ankle
Speaker 1: is girth and it's vainy again as well, but actually
Speaker 1: this is a real story. I was leaving. I was
Speaker 1: leaving UM Bar show the other night and I turned
Speaker 1: my fucking ankle coming out of the UM I walked
Speaker 1: out of that door, and I actually it was one
Speaker 1: of those things where I was like, see you guys
Speaker 1: later turned around. Don't say it's not brave what we do.
Speaker 1: Don't say we don't put our lives on the line.
Speaker 1: I put my life on the line to do five
Speaker 1: to seven minutes, and then I promptly almost killed my
Speaker 1: Were you making a big exit and bift it? You
Speaker 1: were kind? It's one of those things where you kind
Speaker 1: of slay a joke on the way out. Wrapped the
Speaker 1: scarf and then turned the ankle, wrap the scarf and
Speaker 1: turn the ankle front on her. For title of that

Speaker 1: schedule is packed. Gotta meet mom for Margarita's right after this.

Speaker 1: you said this before we started recording. I'm assuming she's
Speaker 1: a Chevy Chevy Chases restaurant, Chevy is Times Square, probably
Speaker 1: drinking a margarita. And she, uh, she is religious. Well,
Speaker 1: we grew up Christian and yeah, she's religious. Ye. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're from Georgia, Georgia. Yeah, like rural honey boo boo Georgia. Okay,
Speaker 1: yea Christians and yes we are the rural Christians comedy
Speaker 1: we are. Yeah, that was our show that quickly got canceled.
Speaker 1: I want to see that. Though bad, we said some
Speaker 1: terrible things, Yeah it was. It was bad to not
Speaker 1: only Christianity, but every religion as you can imagine. Um,
Speaker 1: we all know the one religion that's you know, responsible
Speaker 1: for everything that's bad in the world, or Astrianism anyway. Okay,
Speaker 1: so my mom, my mom, she recently started kind of
Speaker 1: loosening up, okay, loosening up her kids a star, So
Speaker 1: is she she finished, so she's like, is it real? Maybe? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: my son defied the Yeah, my son is doing this,
Speaker 1: so God doesn't exist. I'm gonna drink um, so she'll occasion,
Speaker 1: but she's never drank, so she'll just slam to Margarita's.
Speaker 1: And this is at least when I go back home,
Speaker 1: and she'll just she'll start like sort of powering down
Speaker 1: and then just kind of be like, who, I need
Speaker 1: to go take a nap in the truck, and she will.
Speaker 1: We will have one sleep. Does she have a bad Well,
Speaker 1: you're usually. I mean where I'm come from, there's always
Speaker 1: one truck with you at all time. It's either my
Speaker 1: dad's truck, my brother's truck. There's a truck near you,
Speaker 1: it's in your bedroom. Yes, it's because you have to
Speaker 1: you have to drive twenty miles to get like any restaurant,
Speaker 1: forty miles to get to a movie theater. And so
Speaker 1: we'll go there, we're gonna have dinner, then we're gonna
Speaker 1: go to a movie movie and usually Mom is asleep
Speaker 1: in the truck. Georgia, can you buy liquor on Sundays? Carolina?
Speaker 1: You know I'd have to sell liquor on Sunday in
Speaker 1: America today. Yeah, I also left a dry county, so
Speaker 1: there's no you have to go a county over makes
Speaker 1: you go twenty miles to Smitty's. You have to go
Speaker 1: twenty miles to Smitty's just to get liquor. And that
Speaker 1: really promotes, well it shouldn't, but it promotes. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean absolute big time. I mean Smitty's. If don't go
Speaker 1: anywhere near Smitty's after eleven pm, somebody's gonna hit run
Speaker 1: you over. Growing up, my county um didn't have a
Speaker 1: movie theater, so we were sort of cinematically dry. Good
Speaker 1: to drive over to go to the movie. Yeah, me too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I saw nothing and I'm still my reference basis
Speaker 1: paying for it. This is crazy because my only concept
Speaker 1: of growing up is that everyone around you is an alcoholic,
Speaker 1: and being from Long Island where I'm from, so it's
Speaker 1: just like the functional alcohol well functional end quotes, alcoholism
Speaker 1: is just rampant. Yeah. I think we could use like
Speaker 1: like one week a year where the government says like, okay, guys,
Speaker 1: like slow down, like this is your dry week, Long Islands,
Speaker 1: Dry Island. Try this week. Actually, oh man, no, it's
Speaker 1: too much. I go back home and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: had been in New York for a while and then
Speaker 1: I went back home and I was like, oh, actually
Speaker 1: I brought my boy. I brought Henry back for the
Speaker 1: very first time, and he was like, We've drank with
Speaker 1: every meal. Even for breakfast there was bloody Marys on
Speaker 1: the table. I'm like, yeah, my dad likes to buddy
Speaker 1: Mary's what he was like, it's it's just crazy to
Speaker 1: me how much we're drinking here. And I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: and he's from Michigan and the family is also dry.
Speaker 1: So this is the thing around America that I just
Speaker 1: can't even fathom. It's it's very weird. And I grew
Speaker 1: up thinking that that's how everything was. I mean, we
Speaker 1: would drive to Florida on Sundays like an hour and
Speaker 1: twenty minutes away if we like ran out of natural lights,
Speaker 1: Like who's going to Florida today? Because I also grew
Speaker 1: up around like rivers, like trashy river culture and boarding,
Speaker 1: which is like not a town, not anything. I used
Speaker 1: to skim board to ride for half a second, yeah,
Speaker 1: and then eat it, and then yeah it was I
Speaker 1: think skiboarding was fun. You guys could get up doing
Speaker 1: that I tried water skiing twice and I couldn't get
Speaker 1: up in my water skier. I can slallow them. I
Speaker 1: can do People don't know because my family has a
Speaker 1: little lake place, so like I learned, and we actually
Speaker 1: would go visit one of my dad's friends all growing up,
Speaker 1: and I learned to ski as like a child as
Speaker 1: a baby. They have these little kiddie skis where they're
Speaker 1: like roped together so your legs don't spread. So I learned,
Speaker 1: like as a four year old, you can do anything
Speaker 1: if you start as a kid. Truly, it's like a
Speaker 1: skill that I won't lose, you know. Okay, how about
Speaker 1: this for just for a topic of discussion. Oceans are legs?
Speaker 1: What's better? I'm gonna talk about it on moss cultures.
Speaker 1: I don't love stagnation. I agree with you. I prefer
Speaker 1: I don't prefers. I like fresh water, but I don't
Speaker 1: prefer salt water to fresh water. I do you you do?
Speaker 1: I prefer the salt water. I love to just drink
Speaker 1: a little bit on accident. I think it is a
Speaker 1: little bit of a thrill. I get at yeah, but
Speaker 1: I prefer oceans. Okay, I prefer oceans to and Josh
Speaker 1: I'm a lake, which you are. I was always an
Speaker 1: ocean gal, but now because my family has this place
Speaker 1: is like my favorite place in the world. The only
Speaker 1: thing lacks is my favorite beach activity along beach walk.
Speaker 1: So you can't go on along beach walk, get hot,
Speaker 1: then want to jump in the ocean that sum, you
Speaker 1: lay out on the dock, you play games, you do whatever,
Speaker 1: you can walk around the neighborhood. It's the same. But
Speaker 1: I also like the attachment to the gravitational pull of
Speaker 1: the moon and seeing the tides, you know. So, and
Speaker 1: that was really beautiful the way you said that was
Speaker 1: really beautiful. What a very cool way to describe, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he's like, I love the tides, the gravitational pull.
Speaker 1: That's where he's a star. Josh I booked the gig.
Speaker 1: My god, he's talking about the Yeah, all right, Well,
Speaker 1: can I ask you a question because we've briefly touched
Speaker 1: on you said you mentioned your childhood and you know,
Speaker 1: on Lost Cultures, that's one of the things that we
Speaker 1: do is a question that we ask am I right,
Speaker 1: Meg is weird and me I always host as you
Speaker 1: know Lost culture always. These are the two and we
Speaker 1: should just acknowledge that Bowen Yang is not here tonight
Speaker 1: because he passed away about twenty minutes ago. Um, so
Speaker 1: you he yesterday he was so he knew he was
Speaker 1: going to wait off. Here's no time for a moment
Speaker 1: of time. Actually a right tightly scheduled um um. But
Speaker 1: we should say bo Yang God rest in peace. Um.
Speaker 1: But what we ask is what was the culture that
Speaker 1: made you say culture is for me? So this is
Speaker 1: like defining pop culture in your life growing up as
Speaker 1: Georgia barn trash. Right, Yes, that's that's actually kind um.
Speaker 1: I A big turning point for me, and this is
Speaker 1: gonna be gross, but a big turning point for me
Speaker 1: was seeing the movie Scary Movie Too. Okay, Okay, I know,
Speaker 1: I get it. That movie is very funny. I have
Speaker 1: never seen I forget when they still comedy. I didn't
Speaker 1: even see one. I went with my understand. No, I
Speaker 1: hadn't even seen this stuff that the source material was

Speaker 1: and guys, it's fully naked gun at times. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: mean I haven't seen it since it came out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's I mean, it's it's very good. When do they
Speaker 1: turn bad the Scary Movie franchise. I don't think they
Speaker 1: ever got bad. I think yeah, I mean I say,
Speaker 1: which is not the same. I have to tell you something.
Speaker 1: I disagree with you. I feel that three is very good.
Speaker 1: Really do you remember in Scary Movie three Regina Hall?
Speaker 1: Who is my queen? Unbelievable, unbelievable, my queen. I maybe
Speaker 1: she's a She's like someone I would love to have
Speaker 1: on the show. I just like her dead in the
Speaker 1: eyes and teller that I think she's the queen. The
Speaker 1: scene in Scary Movie three, Yeah, when Simon Rex and
Speaker 1: yes I do know his name. Yeah, he's a former
Speaker 1: game porn star as well. Oh yeah, that's right. He
Speaker 1: jacked off on cam. That's right. He did name start
Speaker 1: movie three jack off looking up? Um you can't find it. Um.

Speaker 1: classroom and a bunch of crayons at the door, and
Speaker 1: Hall just goes know who the fund did that? And
Speaker 1: then a custom the next sea. Yes, yeah, yeah, it's good.
Speaker 1: It's a random it's a random little moment. It's very
Speaker 1: very blackout and then I started like, yeah it is,
Speaker 1: and then I started sort of like being like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's from I would I would reference the jokes and
Speaker 1: be like, you know, that's from a thing. And then
Speaker 1: I started sort of starting seeing parody. I see, So
Speaker 1: you didn't know that was I didn't. I That's how
Speaker 1: dumb I am was. Can I ask you a question?
Speaker 1: So that was what you had to be? What thirteen
Speaker 1: fourteen when you saw Yeah? I think around then I
Speaker 1: wasn't allowed to see any My parents would go to
Speaker 1: this thing on screen, it dot com that counts our
Speaker 1: words the s words are you know, the one words
Speaker 1: but the same thing. Uh yeah, yeah, it would. It
Speaker 1: would it would rate the movie. Yeah. There also was
Speaker 1: a Christian version of it too that I forget what
Speaker 1: it was called, but it would. It would like talk
Speaker 1: about if they were also just like blasphemous thing, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: like anything. My My mom was like, we ain't trick
Speaker 1: or treating. That's the devil's not and we ain't doing
Speaker 1: it no nothing. I was all like blasphemous. We like,
Speaker 1: we don't and it's really crazy because she was like,
Speaker 1: we don't play around with that because it will get
Speaker 1: ahold of you. If you, if you bring yourself to it,
Speaker 1: it will come the real belief in the dark. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it wasn't It made it even scarier. It made
Speaker 1: Halloween even scarier because it was this is real and
Speaker 1: you shouldn't mess around with it, right, So I didn't
Speaker 1: see anything but screen. It was fun because it would
Speaker 1: literally like catalog everything. It would and it would be
Speaker 1: really descriptive. As far as the sex stuff, it would
Speaker 1: be like you know, like feels a rest, like you
Speaker 1: see half a tip. Yeah, there's maybe they are maybe
Speaker 1: gonna there's a suggested hook up here, like even really
Speaker 1: like pulls, like they grazed shoulders and they looked at
Speaker 1: each other. We would think about the reviewers for that,
Speaker 1: like that person furiously sketching notes of like every like
Speaker 1: you have to have some sort of grid layout on
Speaker 1: paper where you can just tally mark, and you also
Speaker 1: have to be yeah, you have to be a little
Speaker 1: bit creepy yourself. Reading into everything was like the bulge
Speaker 1: was huge. It was a big bulge like you would
Speaker 1: you would look for the bad thing and so okay,
Speaker 1: so fast forward to now who you are being a
Speaker 1: real heathen on television? So are they support are they
Speaker 1: support to you. Yeah, they're they've always been. Um, they
Speaker 1: think I'm funny, but they and But I also like
Speaker 1: kind of play into like I'll do church jokes for
Speaker 1: my mom, Like, because my first real experience with comedy
Speaker 1: was funny pastor and Christian comedian. I love any because
Speaker 1: the they the moments, the timing is so well, because
Speaker 1: it's constant, you can bring it down and then joke
Speaker 1: out and bring it down and joke out because you're
Speaker 1: being serious. So I was obsessed with There's a guy
Speaker 1: named Mark Lowry who was a Christian comedian who would
Speaker 1: be like I went into when there are too many uh,
Speaker 1: when there are too many animals in the in the manger?
Speaker 1: Can we get a few of the animals there? It's
Speaker 1: just like four horses but not one spider exactly. It's
Speaker 1: stuff like that that I still think is very funny.
Speaker 1: And that's funny, Oh my god, because what if you
Speaker 1: don't want all those horses? Yeah, I don't want any spiders.
Speaker 1: Really should be based on white and utility. Yeah, okay, cool,
Speaker 1: I'm into this now. I'm leaving an all the handing
Speaker 1: going back to that. Yeah, it's I mean, you have
Speaker 1: a reference base that you can just kill like any
Speaker 1: It's just like me Shack and a bed Nego burning joke,
Speaker 1: you could just nail at any moment. It's the most
Speaker 1: localized version of observational comedies. You're like, I have a
Speaker 1: room where I know you know this one set of
Speaker 1: can do. And if I know the stats, you inherently
Speaker 1: think I'm good because I know the Bible. And also
Speaker 1: if coming from a position of authority, it's just like,
Speaker 1: especially in that atmosphere, it's like, we respect this person.
Speaker 1: And so even even in your mind, if you think
Speaker 1: this is not that funny, that's not what you're expressing
Speaker 1: out true. Did you listen to contemporary Christian music too,
Speaker 1: because I was deep into that before. I love secular music,
Speaker 1: talk audio, adrenaline. He fr um Jars of Clay about Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm facing away from you now. Yeah. It just turned
Speaker 1: away from me because it will suck you in, and
Speaker 1: by it I mean me you will. One of my
Speaker 1: friends now dates a woman who was previously married to
Speaker 1: one of the people in Jars of Clay, and the
Speaker 1: first time I met her was very hard not to
Speaker 1: be very strangely starstruck, like I had all these stars
Speaker 1: of click questions and what was her view on divorce.
Speaker 1: I think I think she sort of fell out of
Speaker 1: the church and then they think they got married young.
Speaker 1: I'm not, but I wonder what because anytime sort of
Speaker 1: a Christian artist would go through something like that, it
Speaker 1: would be the end of your career. But also some
Speaker 1: of the most powerful moments. They're losing everyone, right, so
Speaker 1: you can go and say, like, you know, I've really reckoned,
Speaker 1: I've learned, and it must make you question as well,
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, Like this aspirational person
Speaker 1: is going through it. It's like what maybe something else?
Speaker 1: No no, no, no no, no, yeah, yeah, it's it's it's strange,
Speaker 1: but talking. Do you know about Carmen Carmen, Yes, the
Speaker 1: Messiah three. It was a James Bond themed um album
Speaker 1: that this man named Carmen did and it like had
Speaker 1: it had as Like I liked that that theme James
Speaker 1: Bond themes song, so in my head I would go.
Speaker 1: I went to Carmen's concerts and I was sat in
Speaker 1: the balcony and my mom still tells the story to
Speaker 1: the day, to this day because she was so proud
Speaker 1: of me. Because they usually at the end of these
Speaker 1: concerts are like, all right, we're going to do a
Speaker 1: prayer and if you want to bring money down, come
Speaker 1: get saved. And I from the balcony asked my mom
Speaker 1: for twenty dollars and took it all the way down
Speaker 1: to the stage and she was like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: he is He's like he's a Christian, you know yourself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But I remember I got saved so many times, saved
Speaker 1: three times for the Power Team. Did you have the
Speaker 1: Power Team down there gut and beat through bricks and stuff.
Speaker 1: And then they'd be like, come up, if you want
Speaker 1: to be saved. Ye, they would help us live all
Speaker 1: those weights. And he can to Oh my god. Actually
Speaker 1: realized this recently. I was home. I'm fucking freaking out
Speaker 1: a Greek Orthodox church, but we had a lot of Greek.
Speaker 1: I was home for the holidays. We're watching an old
Speaker 1: thing because when I was like nine or ten, I
Speaker 1: would make fake James Bond movies and cast my three
Speaker 1: old brother in them. And and there's one where I'm
Speaker 1: doing the title credits and I'm just like filming pieces
Speaker 1: of paper I wrote on on the floor, and the
Speaker 1: music playing is Karmen's version of not even the real
Speaker 1: James bawling because that was like what I had at
Speaker 1: the time was that that's like what I'm playing on
Speaker 1: a CD player while I fill this made me starring
Speaker 1: my brother as it made me feel really cool. I
Speaker 1: would listen to that tape and just like roll around
Speaker 1: on the floor and pretend I was holding a gun
Speaker 1: and like be like, yeah, Jesus. Also the bad guys
Speaker 1: you know, Wow, would have loved the Power Team. I
Speaker 1: would have loved you describing them. I would would this
Speaker 1: guys you ever saw insensitive because girth ankles, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: love it. First time I meet a guy, I'm checking
Speaker 1: out the ankles. I'm saying, are they broken like mine?
Speaker 1: Because I need someone to carry me around. My ankles
Speaker 1: are broken. I just crushed into a comedy show leaving
Speaker 1: the room. Um anyway, but yeah, they my parents are.
Speaker 1: They think I'm funny. But sometimes they're like, that's just
Speaker 1: not for us. Do they watch this show? Uh, they
Speaker 1: haven't seen this show yet. They're gonna watch it because
Speaker 1: it's your first, big, big, big thing. Yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 1: I think they will. I mean even when we're watching
Speaker 1: a movie and there's a sex scene, they're like, all right,
Speaker 1: that s enough and They're like fast forward it and
Speaker 1: I'm very on them now about like we need to
Speaker 1: see these things. Yeah, and but everyone in the room masturbase, right,
Speaker 1: I go like too far. I'm like, I'm tired of
Speaker 1: this shame. Watch look at my butt hole, you know,
Speaker 1: like I'm too far. On the other side, I've lost
Speaker 1: my mind. And they're like, he's out of his mind.
Speaker 1: But I remember the first time I I showed my
Speaker 1: dad they're porn. Yeah, I sat him down. I was, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's in this movie. He jerks off here. You see
Speaker 1: his butt hole too, you do you know in the
Speaker 1: porn that he does. I know all the cultures this fans.
Speaker 1: They're furiously googling right now to find Simon Rex butthole porn.
Speaker 1: You can find it. But the first time there was
Speaker 1: a Talladega Nights the DVD commentary is kind of the
Speaker 1: first time I ever sort of heard improv long form improv.
Speaker 1: They were doing a monos this is disgusting on the
Speaker 1: insidery a mono scene from fifty years in the future
Speaker 1: where they were commenting on the filming of the movie.
Speaker 1: So they had all changed. That was their commentary, Like
Speaker 1: a boat like his career was ruined mcbrear waghed like
Speaker 1: eight hundred pounds and was eating fish out of a bucket.
Speaker 1: It was so funny. I was like, what is this?
Speaker 1: This is like funny line? What is this? And I
Speaker 1: and I would listen to it over and over again,
Speaker 1: and then I let my dad here we were on
Speaker 1: a family vacation. I was like, Dad, you gotta hear this.
Speaker 1: I was so happy and I played it for him
Speaker 1: and he was like, what is this crap? Who are
Speaker 1: these subversives? He did not love hated it. He's like,
Speaker 1: I stand up, why are they lying? Like and see,
Speaker 1: that's the thing. I never even think about it. Yeah
Speaker 1: he would. You would have been so mad when Philip
Speaker 1: is Sue cried, I know she doesn't mean it. Why
Speaker 1: is she lying? So he I knew it that moment.
Speaker 1: Oh we're gonna just like different things. Yeah yeah, yeah
Speaker 1: they did they ever come to see improv shows or
Speaker 1: they're not really making enough l Yes? When I got
Speaker 1: on another gross inside or anything on Harold Night, if
Speaker 1: you're talking, if you're thinking, we're not grossing insidery here
Speaker 1: on me? Okay? Good. They know I've been on Mad.
Speaker 1: They know I've been on the character's welcome. Sorry HBM
Speaker 1: is saying you're not peaking enough. Meg. Anyway, go on,
Speaker 1: you made it onto Harold Knight. No, it was big
Speaker 1: for me. I tried three years in a road like,
Speaker 1: trying so hard. I was obsessed with it. Finally got
Speaker 1: on a in l A. Yeah. I had done a
Speaker 1: couple of shows and then my parents were gonna come.
Speaker 1: And so I were in the second group of the night.
Speaker 1: Um where we are the second group of the night,
Speaker 1: So I know my parents are out there. I'm super nervous.
Speaker 1: I go out there, I perform, I come back in
Speaker 1: and the team who had gone before me was like, hey, uh,
Speaker 1: your dad was just back here in the green room.
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh during my set, and they
Speaker 1: were like yeah, so apparently my dad had in the
Speaker 1: middle of the show, gotten up, walked the not towards
Speaker 1: the exit. This is used to be frankly threw that
Speaker 1: curtain into the green room, rummaging through the coolers, gotten
Speaker 1: himself a coke. Somebody said, sir, can I help you?
Speaker 1: And then somebody was like, oh, I know that's that's
Speaker 1: Drew's dad, And they're like, you know, Drew's on stage,
Speaker 1: and he was like yeah, it just got too nasty
Speaker 1: for me. I love that. So he had excused us, right,
Speaker 1: had it gotten absolutely nasty and not funny? Do you
Speaker 1: remember what I'm sure? No? No, I mean because the
Speaker 1: first time I took my parents, like first semester of college,
Speaker 1: I just started improv. We were in l A. I
Speaker 1: was like, we have to go see Ascat. It's the thing,
Speaker 1: the whole first like run off the monologue is a
Speaker 1: long run on the idea, comedic idea of wound fucking.
Speaker 1: You shoot someone with a gun and fuck their wound.
Speaker 1: That's what happens when young people get on stage and
Speaker 1: do whatever they want. Well, I mean that is nasty.
Speaker 1: That is nasty. Hello, I'm I'm hugging the back wall,
Speaker 1: just shaking my head. Any set I'm involved in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're very judgment me on the back line, though, me
Speaker 1: on the back line is more terrified. Really, I had
Speaker 1: never I was never so funny. I feel funny, um
Speaker 1: in terms of like like my life and doing sketch,
Speaker 1: but in terms of probably never felt good about it.
Speaker 1: I think I started it too young. Okay, I started
Speaker 1: doing it as nineteen ye really, but I never thought
Speaker 1: I was one of the greats, but I don't think
Speaker 1: I'm built for it. I think I was good at it,
Speaker 1: but there's people who are like, oh, you were made
Speaker 1: to do this, and I never felt like it was that.
Speaker 1: I always felt like I could do pretty well. You
Speaker 1: do something happens through when you do improv, you're very focused. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's it's like sort of work. It is hard.
Speaker 1: It can be really hard. Yeah, well, I mean it
Speaker 1: looks fun though. I mean it can be fun now
Speaker 1: that I don't care, right, Yeah, that's what it's so
Speaker 1: hard to like, Oh, you can't be funny until you
Speaker 1: don't care, and you can't not care until you've been
Speaker 1: funny for a long time. It's a weird thing. I think.
Speaker 1: I honestly think if I started to do it now,
Speaker 1: just my sheer comfort with myself would allow me to
Speaker 1: be more free on stage, like it does when anything
Speaker 1: I was, like hosting something, I think that never have
Speaker 1: hosted anything when I was I've been fucking terrified. But
Speaker 1: it's got to be a majority, just come for and
Speaker 1: allowing yourself to I'm gonna say it. I don't think,
Speaker 1: oh my god, he said the said how I can't
Speaker 1: believe that? Did you were you ever in New York
Speaker 1: for an extended period. I was. I lived here from
Speaker 1: two eight really yeah, oh yeah, pre comedy right pre
Speaker 1: about UCB. Yeah, like right as I was about to
Speaker 1: go to l A. And I mean, it's a long story.
Speaker 1: My sister is talented one of the family. Okay, pause, yes,
Speaker 1: I know you from way back. Really because I watched
Speaker 1: American Junior, did not. I watched American Juniors, and I
Speaker 1: may have even cast a vote for Miss Caitlyn. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. Well, Drew was in the show,
Speaker 1: but I of course didn't didn't clock him that. I
Speaker 1: was much more focused on Miss Kate. Of course, Miss
Speaker 1: Caitlin Tarver. But there was also another one. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can never forget John. See. Yes, Chauncey was unbelievable.
Speaker 1: He's saying moon River and he threw the glitter. Yes,
Speaker 1: my god, wait from as American Juniors. Okay, because I
Speaker 1: never saw I just heard you. This is just so insane.
Speaker 1: My little sisters were the talented ones of the family,
Speaker 1: all right. They sang dance that, and I had no talent,
Speaker 1: so I would just sneak my way into their bits.
Speaker 1: I'd be like, oh, you guys singing brother for sale
Speaker 1: at the pageant. I'm going to be the Yeah, oh
Speaker 1: you guys are doing a thing at church. Can I
Speaker 1: be one of the wise men, you know, I'll be
Speaker 1: a funny wise man. Whatever. So they started singing. They
Speaker 1: were like singing pageants and going around doing the Sweet
Speaker 1: Onion Festival. They would do a tap number, you know
Speaker 1: it was they were sweet onions, big. Yeah. My sister came,
Speaker 1: you can make Vidalia. That's good. Sweet Onion Festival are
Speaker 1: making me say, y'all know y'all. So she and my
Speaker 1: other sister, Amanda was also She was like five years
Speaker 1: old and was ing and remembering full routines. Anyway, they audition.
Speaker 1: Both of them audition the year after American Idol for
Speaker 1: a spin off called American Juniors that uh Seacrests hosted
Speaker 1: and be as Gladys Knight was the Judge Night. How
Speaker 1: many seasons of it were there? One? Just one? Just one? Yeah,
Speaker 1: they only did it one time. I think we've ran
Speaker 1: them out of business. They're like, see, even Seacrests can't
Speaker 1: deal with the target. Tarberts ran through the Coca Cola budget. Yeah,
Speaker 1: always going where's the fountain side? Just got too nasty
Speaker 1: for me, so they audition. One of my sisters gets
Speaker 1: on the show. They fly the whole family to l A.
Speaker 1: Because it was too mean to vote kids off of
Speaker 1: a show, so each week they would vote a kid
Speaker 1: onto a five person group. Yeah, to be my managed
Speaker 1: by Simon Cowell, so this was big. We had never
Speaker 1: basically never been out of Georgia. We're in l A.
Speaker 1: I immediately go to Melrose eye by a von Duch
Speaker 1: hat and a white belt. Yeah. I was like, give
Speaker 1: me inside of a guess, I'll take everything that's on
Speaker 1: that weird uh model, Like did you have bleach blonde hair? Oh? Yes,
Speaker 1: the most peroxided bowl cut, like hard little Aaron Carter,
Speaker 1: I'm heading crazy. You mentioned him. I I met him
Speaker 1: at the hotel room when I was living in l A.
Speaker 1: That summer. At the hotel room is the context. That's
Speaker 1: how it began, because you know she goes both ways. Yes, yeah, um,
Speaker 1: yes so she I she She was on the show
Speaker 1: for ten weeks and we would sit on the side
Speaker 1: of the stage, the whole family and Chris Summer three. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they just well, my dad would go back and forth.
Speaker 1: My dad runs a candy factory, in Georgia. Another insanes
Speaker 1: and this is fucking great. My dad took a break
Speaker 1: from the candy coming down wrapping him. Yes, yeah, just
Speaker 1: like I love lou You're coming down wrapping him boy.
Speaker 1: And uh so they would they would like throw to us,
Speaker 1: like Kaitlyn, she sang, ain't no mountain high enough? What
Speaker 1: do you think tarvers? And we'd be like, whoa, she
Speaker 1: is a star, you know. And eventually it felt like
Speaker 1: week after I was always made sure I was up there.
Speaker 1: I was like, I gotta be up there. I just
Speaker 1: feel like I'm part of this and I feel Ciccos
Speaker 1: would throw to us and I'd be like, I would
Speaker 1: be like, hey, you know, Carrot Top was at the
Speaker 1: hotel last night. You know, I would talk, Yeah, whether
Speaker 1: he would throw to us, and they'd be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: just banter and we'll cut out, you know, we'll we'll
Speaker 1: get some stuff. But I didn't know, so we were
Speaker 1: just talking. We would like talk, and my they eventually
Speaker 1: started taking our microphones away, like by the end of it,
Speaker 1: they're like my mom and my little brother were the
Speaker 1: only ones who had a microphone because they would just
Speaker 1: be like, we like her, the only ones who could
Speaker 1: be trusted not to be Like I had a case

Speaker 1: us to Vegas as a consolation prize and then yeah
Speaker 1: and then she she like, uh but from there, um
Speaker 1: we went back. They shipped us back to Georgia. I
Speaker 1: went to my senior year high school, took my bond
Speaker 1: duch hat off white belt, you know, through it in

Speaker 1: I was discussingly enough class clown. I know that's a
Speaker 1: gross thing, um, but yeah, I just remember being goofy.
Speaker 1: And there wasn't really you a social drifter, because that's
Speaker 1: what I was. Yeah, I was like funny so that
Speaker 1: I could like sort of, you know, fit in with everyone.
Speaker 1: Did not have anyone to actually know that. Yeah, I didn't.
Speaker 1: Like I played basketball for a little while, but I didn't.
Speaker 1: I quit that, and then I played golf for a
Speaker 1: bit because you could get out every Monday all day
Speaker 1: for the last like nine weeks of school. But I remember,
Speaker 1: I yeah kind of. But I also graduated with seventeen
Speaker 1: kids in my grade. So it was that's fucking it's
Speaker 1: crazy insane. There were chickens in the well. My chicken.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, the chicken who taught me Spanish is actually
Speaker 1: very good, very accents perfect. Yeah, yeah, it was very good. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's so it was just so rural. I
Speaker 1: can't even say the word rural. That's how country. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's when you went to New York. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: my sister I was I went to college for a semester.
Speaker 1: If you're not smart enough to get into u g A,
Speaker 1: which is not smart. Was at the time of the
Speaker 1: Hope Scholarship. Yes, oh yeah, they were giving it. You
Speaker 1: could get free tuition if you or something like yeah
Speaker 1: you could. Yeah. So I took advantage of that. Went
Speaker 1: to a school right next to you g A where
Speaker 1: you can transfer in if you get your grades up,
Speaker 1: which know it's called Gainesville State. My dad went to
Speaker 1: you oh ship Go Dogs Go Dogs. That was them,
Speaker 1: The Dogs, The Dogs, Yeah, d aw justific. Yeah. But
Speaker 1: at that point, my sister had gotten a record deal
Speaker 1: in Long Island, like a city. Yeah. It was a
Speaker 1: really weird like, wait, we're going to New York but
Speaker 1: we're recording. I've been there to just be like guys, no,
Speaker 1: don't don't go. Yeah. She was with a little label
Speaker 1: in Long Island and they came up here to record
Speaker 1: like some pop techno album with her, And I was like,
Speaker 1: get me my Vonda chet, get me my white belt.
Speaker 1: He's going to New York. So I came up here
Speaker 1: with them and they stayed for three months and I
Speaker 1: met enough people cater waitering and stuff, you kind of
Speaker 1: like couch surf and that's how she hung on two
Speaker 1: after college or in the middle. No, this was when
Speaker 1: I was eighteen nineteen. Yeah, so you said for at
Speaker 1: the college, I'm staying. Yeah, I said forget it. With
Speaker 1: the goal of I didn't know. I knew I wanted
Speaker 1: to be an actor, but I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I want to be funny, So you just gotta be
Speaker 1: a good actor first. So I started going to acting classes.
Speaker 1: In the acting class that teachers like, you're bad. You're
Speaker 1: bad at this, and I was like, well that's why
Speaker 1: I'm it's a class. I want to get better. And
Speaker 1: they're like, I don't know if this is for you.
Speaker 1: Just we're bad at calculus. Yeah, you have to leave. Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was a way to break me down to make
Speaker 1: me better, like because it was a serious class and
Speaker 1: I think they were looking to like break me down
Speaker 1: and build me up, but they were just breaking that.
Speaker 1: I was not coming back together after the breakdown, right.
Speaker 1: I was just kind of like, uh, And it's pretty
Speaker 1: it's pretty weird the way that they think things are
Speaker 1: going to help people like like, I mean, I went
Speaker 1: to ny U Tish and I didn't study acting, but
Speaker 1: a lot of my friends that did, like depending on
Speaker 1: the school, like it just was too much for them,
Speaker 1: the rejection. And I guess, I mean, I guess that's
Speaker 1: a certain thing. They think they're reflecting what the industry is,
Speaker 1: but sometimes I think they're doing that, yes, but sometimes
Speaker 1: it's like I think you just want to be an asked.
Speaker 1: You want to inflict on all this what's been inflicted
Speaker 1: on you. And the thing is people can learn a
Speaker 1: thing without you having to do it to them literally,
Speaker 1: but you could like prep a person in a way
Speaker 1: while still being kind of like the industry is not.
Speaker 1: It's kind of just this and you know this because
Speaker 1: you're human with a big brain who can understand ideas.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to mimic that. I don't have to
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, see this is what choking feels like.
Speaker 1: I can get it without you doing it. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: can just explain it that. I know. I know it
Speaker 1: probably feels bad, so you. But I found out about
Speaker 1: UCB through that like failure, and one day we did
Speaker 1: like a little improv thing and I don't know, I
Speaker 1: probably mimicked a Mad TV character and people laughed and
Speaker 1: they were like, they were like, that's Stewart, but you
Speaker 1: should go to UCB, and so you did, and that's
Speaker 1: kind of where you it clicked for you. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: saw the first classes in New York. Yeah. Yeah. The
Speaker 1: first show I saw was a Stepfather's show and I
Speaker 1: saw like which era it was, uh, um, miss or
Speaker 1: Shannon and Chris Gether but not will Hones probably. I
Speaker 1: don't think will Hines yet. Um, But yeah I took
Speaker 1: because still a part of my brain that remembers UCB stops. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, like it will never go away. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: the Herald team exactly, and I can name most of
Speaker 1: that's why. Yeah, it's like straight guys in baseball, where
Speaker 1: it's like you learned at a certain pointance and printed
Speaker 1: in your brain and it was like that U c
Speaker 1: B at that time. That was yeah, the the time,
Speaker 1: it was. Yeah, I remember everybody was a rock star
Speaker 1: and you just I just sat on the floor there
Speaker 1: for like a full year, um, and then moved to
Speaker 1: l A. I knew there was one in l A,
Speaker 1: so I started doing it there and kind of started
Speaker 1: over when I got there. I didn't know anyone. I
Speaker 1: would just go to shows and be like, you're funny.
Speaker 1: Are you going anywhere? After this? You think why didn't
Speaker 1: you go? Because you like started U c be here?
Speaker 1: What led to be? Like, I'm ditch in New York.
Speaker 1: I I was dating someone, uh and she went and
Speaker 1: I went for the lover for the love. You never
Speaker 1: follow a woman, actually, rule of culture number eighteen. Yes,
Speaker 1: you never follow a woman. And we need male doctors.
Speaker 1: I'm going to say it against Jesus Christ. We need
Speaker 1: male doctors. Was she also an improviser? She was an actor?
Speaker 1: She was she was an actor slash doctor. Yeah, she
Speaker 1: was Katherine. People are often both. Yes, yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a it's a crazy there's a lot of doctor's appointments
Speaker 1: that get canceled if you have an act like I
Speaker 1: have a commercial edition for Duncan Doughnuts for Comcast. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just saw, I just saw. I just saw my
Speaker 1: um my foot doctor on SVU. This is a version
Speaker 1: of Christian comedy like these people. So that was funny
Speaker 1: for me. We love it. You have criminal minds. That's
Speaker 1: a good one too. Alright, dropped that um um okay.
Speaker 1: So here's the thing I want to talk about the
Speaker 1: show a bit. Yes, I love the show and I
Speaker 1: texted you thank you for that really quite earnestly. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: it felt it felt great. I mean I've been doing
Speaker 1: a lot of goofs this episode character, but I love
Speaker 1: the show. Thank you so much. And you know, we
Speaker 1: had Helena on UM and we're having Chris and Sarah,
Speaker 1: so we're doing a whole I mean, is going to
Speaker 1: know that we love the other two. So this is
Speaker 1: kind of like your first big big thing. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: mean we've seen you on subway posters for it wasn't
Speaker 1: I was like, you're on the subway. Yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 1: that was This is the first time I'm not on
Speaker 1: a show that when I promoted I don't have to
Speaker 1: go here's where it is used promo code true to
Speaker 1: get a free month, Like I don't have to do that,
Speaker 1: which is nice. Now I just have to say I
Speaker 1: think it's channel until I don't really know. Um, it
Speaker 1: depends on your but it's very it's a cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's my first thing that people can find. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: got to be cool to be a part of two.
Speaker 1: Because what I said was like, and you've seen a
Speaker 1: bunch of it now I was like, I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people are going to feel very seen by it,
Speaker 1: and I think that's like a testament to like very
Speaker 1: much Chris and Sarah who really just seemed to fucking
Speaker 1: know just exactly the way we want to hear things.
Speaker 1: And it's just like just so smart, like talk a
Speaker 1: little bit about like when you are just thing for
Speaker 1: it getting this. Yeah, and you knew them from before. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I knew them just from around backstage, you know, at
Speaker 1: UCB and stuff. And obviously I knew they're stuff from SNL.
Speaker 1: I loved all their stuff on SNL. And I read
Speaker 1: this script and I, I mean, you guys know what
Speaker 1: it's like. I hadn't done much without a fake mustache on,
Speaker 1: just screaming in a wig, and I always say, no,
Speaker 1: it's not And I always wanted to do something thing
Speaker 1: that was, you know, closer to myself for grounded um,
Speaker 1: and there's nobody better. I had seen Chris's movie Other People, obviously,
Speaker 1: and it's so good. Other people, the other two, Yes,
Speaker 1: Saturday Other Night Lines. Yes, he's he's powerful. Um. But yeah,
Speaker 1: so I I just I read the script and and
Speaker 1: loved it. So I just I reached out to my agent,
Speaker 1: they're He was like, they're not auditioning people, yet they
Speaker 1: come here in two weeks to cast it. And I
Speaker 1: was like, can I just please make a tape and I'll, honestly,
Speaker 1: I'll I'll cross some boundaries, some personal broundaries that I
Speaker 1: maybe shouldn't to get this tape to them, and I
Speaker 1: think I may be emailed Chris and I was like, listen,
Speaker 1: I know you're writing on the best season of one
Speaker 1: of the best shows and you're very stress but if
Speaker 1: you want to take a look at this, and it
Speaker 1: was he you know, he looked at it, and then
Speaker 1: I auditioned for it. When they actually came, he was
Speaker 1: onto that email. I don't truly that's brazen in a
Speaker 1: positive way of thing that I have trouble doing, like
Speaker 1: I have trouble, not just like sort of being like
Speaker 1: put my name in. I can't like be the guy
Speaker 1: who's like, I'm gonna just I think it required my
Speaker 1: agent telling me like this might be the chance to
Speaker 1: do something over the line and I didn't remember, which
Speaker 1: is like, you do know, Chris, it's not out of anywhere,
Speaker 1: and he wants to see you anyway for it. It's
Speaker 1: like it's not like you're just yeah, And I was like,
Speaker 1: just just take a look at this, um because I
Speaker 1: also think there was something going on where I was.
Speaker 1: I maybe was going to be out of town for
Speaker 1: a couple of days when they were there. You needed
Speaker 1: to take a leap. I just needed to do it.
Speaker 1: So I sent it and they were like, this is great.
Speaker 1: We are busy, you know. I don't know if they
Speaker 1: even even responded, but I think I got word that
Speaker 1: he had seen it and was like, great, I'd love
Speaker 1: to see you when you come in town or or
Speaker 1: go read with the actual casting director. And then I
Speaker 1: just auditioned a few times and ended up getting it.
Speaker 1: You know. It's kind of like I can totally understand
Speaker 1: like acting that way about it because watching the show,
Speaker 1: you know, we only get so many roles like that,
Speaker 1: you know, you only get you only get an opportunity
Speaker 1: to actually play someone where you're like, oh, I know
Speaker 1: this person actually, yeah, like I've seen it on television,
Speaker 1: look like a like a character that's the gay lead.
Speaker 1: I don't see it. No, it's it's so I remember
Speaker 1: just being like, oh, queer actor in the show, queer
Speaker 1: in real life, I need to really. It just was
Speaker 1: so special to make this role and it felt like, honestly,
Speaker 1: it felt so close to me. I was like, are
Speaker 1: they making fun of me right because my sister was
Speaker 1: my sister? Yeah. I was like, this is too weird
Speaker 1: because the show is about a little Yea had the
Speaker 1: version of this from fifteen years Yeah. I told them
Speaker 1: about it and they're like, that's crazy. What is YouTube
Speaker 1: D You did for over a year? Like I actually
Speaker 1: got to I told christ and Sarah that I was like,
Speaker 1: I worked at this thing. Like I actually was like
Speaker 1: the person who was out on the street you were.
Speaker 1: I was like the thing that you do in the
Speaker 1: show when I was westab when I was watching it,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, because I literally they
Speaker 1: don't do exactly what you do in the show, but
Speaker 1: you are like a singer and I kid you not.
Speaker 1: It was the bus would go by and they were like,
Speaker 1: look at this guy, and they were like, what's your talent?
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, I sing a bit and
Speaker 1: then I this is the song I sang. I swear
Speaker 1: to you. I know you're lying, your lips are moving,
Speaker 1: tell me do you think? And the Megan Trainer eighth
Speaker 1: song you think of for Megan trainer. So I was like,
Speaker 1: it's all what you did in the show was almost
Speaker 1: as pathetic as it actually was. Yeah, put it entertain
Speaker 1: a lot of people, but I was like, it's crazy
Speaker 1: how specific this is. It's fair. It's very strange too,
Speaker 1: because almost sometimes I felt like am I on a
Speaker 1: comedy right now? It's so funny, but there are storylines
Speaker 1: from my character that felt when I was in it,
Speaker 1: acting it and doing it, I was like, Oh, this
Speaker 1: is it's scary and vulnerable. I would say there's a
Speaker 1: lot of there's a narrative threat of kind of like
Speaker 1: narcissism and sort of like social media obsession and um
Speaker 1: sort of like just not seeing or hearing other people
Speaker 1: for a bit because you get caught up in this
Speaker 1: kind of narrative of attention and it's it's very um
Speaker 1: applicable to what I think we all go through. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a really good show. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: excited about it. And yeah, there's a bunch of themes
Speaker 1: in it that you don't see a lot because I
Speaker 1: think it's because I think it's because a lot of
Speaker 1: people that try to tackle the ship like they're not
Speaker 1: smart enough to know because they're in it. And so
Speaker 1: that's why I like with Chris and um Sarah. It's
Speaker 1: like it seems like they're just like uncommonly like just
Speaker 1: aware and intelligent and able to see this thing and
Speaker 1: to reflect upon this thing because and and also don't
Speaker 1: be able to create comedic situations out of it. Because
Speaker 1: I was watching it, I just put my fingers in
Speaker 1: the tea. Did you see that my fingers and put
Speaker 1: it in the tea and then you were going to
Speaker 1: clean your hands with it? Did you think it was
Speaker 1: water or I don't know what the fund just happened.
Speaker 1: I saw it and was so I thought it was
Speaker 1: so crazy. I looked up put my hands in the tea.
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I wanted to ignore it because I
Speaker 1: was like, that's something, that's a that's a thing he does.
Speaker 1: He puts his hands in tea while filming point about
Speaker 1: how they're created to this shower like super smart. I'm
Speaker 1: like my hands in my own fucking trying. One day,
Speaker 1: you'll one day you'll be able to reflect on this
Speaker 1: though and turn it into something. I think exactly I'll
Speaker 1: be able to see this moment at some point. But
Speaker 1: what I'm saying is like it feels like such a
Speaker 1: right now thing. I almost can't even believe that was
Speaker 1: written a year ago or a year and a half ago,
Speaker 1: whenever it was, because it feels like right now. It's
Speaker 1: like we are fully, fully, fully obsessed with you know
Speaker 1: that episode where you're like running to try to get
Speaker 1: Instagram followers, like insta Instagram gaze. That was crazy. It
Speaker 1: just Wolf. You've seen that one too, Yeah, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: pretty Wolf. Yeah, And it's just like that is a
Speaker 1: real thing. Oh yeah, those people I know. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I think the show does such a great job with it.
Speaker 1: Never villainizes my hands in the tea and I can't
Speaker 1: it over? No, no, no, we I was it to
Speaker 1: clean them? What was it? I think I was reaching
Speaker 1: for the for the handle and they went in the tea.
Speaker 1: Did you think, like I just want a little bit
Speaker 1: of tea, I'll just like kick it up and I
Speaker 1: don't want to full And then, honestly, my instinct us
Speaker 1: play this offer. It's he's dipping his hands. Don't make
Speaker 1: it a weird thing. He likes to suck to you
Speaker 1: off his fingers. Be chill show. You're a guest here,
Speaker 1: let him you can put that thing on his head,
Speaker 1: like Instagram for having that. Yeah, it's it's it could
Speaker 1: be much more cynical and and really like make fun
Speaker 1: of social media stars or or the people they are,
Speaker 1: you know, sort of making fun of a little bit.
Speaker 1: And it always makes the main characters are the ones
Speaker 1: who are right. My character was wrong. Yeah, exactly. So, man,
Speaker 1: there's some stuff with like your love interest in the
Speaker 1: season where I was like no, I was literally screaming
Speaker 1: at the at the at the computer. I was like, no, no,
Speaker 1: do my thing. No, m But you know, maybe that's
Speaker 1: a spoiler. We'll talk later. I don't know when this
Speaker 1: one's coming out, but I don't want anyone to know
Speaker 1: that things happen with the love interest. Yeah, there's some
Speaker 1: things that happened. There's some things that you were referencing earlier,
Speaker 1: the thing in the plane. Okay, okay, I mean we've honestly, like,
Speaker 1: whenever I talk to anyone else that has seen the
Speaker 1: whole season, we all talk about the plane. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there is some like emy Worthy ship going down with
Speaker 1: Molly Shock later in the season. Yeah, that was the
Speaker 1: first episode we filmed, seriously, first week. That's what we
Speaker 1: started with. And you must have been like, wow, what
Speaker 1: show did I think? I was, Yeah, I was shocked.
Speaker 1: Actually I saw you at Game show, yes, and that
Speaker 1: must have been right around that time, and I was like,
Speaker 1: how's it going, and you were like it's a lot
Speaker 1: of acting. I was like yeah, and I know we
Speaker 1: just dropped into especially tough um you know, and I
Speaker 1: was I was just kind of shocked of just like, Okay,
Speaker 1: this is some real high level stuff like get it together,
Speaker 1: it together. Yeah, you're not gonna quick. And she was like,
Speaker 1: you're just you're just as bad. Do Stewart again? Do
Speaker 1: Rusty Stewart do any Michael McDonald character and mcbear character
Speaker 1: on the plane. Oh my god. Then honestly like, where
Speaker 1: is that acting teacher? Now? How about that? And doubt
Speaker 1: she is not unless she is not. Okay, then it
Speaker 1: stands she is not. And dad really taught at n
Speaker 1: y U a lot of my friends and then she is.
Speaker 1: Now she's a stark. It's wild. Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: So those teachers she didn't study acting, No, I didn't.
Speaker 1: I was a writing major, so I I got into
Speaker 1: sketch comedy and like while I was in school, kind
Speaker 1: of similar to you as a roundabout way of being like,
Speaker 1: I want to be an actor, what's a way I
Speaker 1: can get on stage? So I auditioned for the Sketch
Speaker 1: group and was like, oh, I kind of like being
Speaker 1: a clown up. Yeah yeah, And then Sketch was my
Speaker 1: life for like a decade um until yesterday when I
Speaker 1: decided never again. Yeah. I saw that that big push
Speaker 1: on social media that you're moving on. Bone was so
Speaker 1: shocked that he died forty minutes. I know he lost
Speaker 1: his life. I did not know it was from that
Speaker 1: that push he lost his life. He lost his life
Speaker 1: because he was He was like, what are you gonna
Speaker 1: do with all these uhs? And I was like, um,
Speaker 1: I'm giving them to you. And I was like I
Speaker 1: thought you could have some use for them now and
Speaker 1: now that you work at SNL, because like to bring
Speaker 1: your own props and stuff. Of course, I was like,
Speaker 1: it's a famous thing about SNL is that everyone provides
Speaker 1: their own wigs and props um. And he had a
Speaker 1: heart attack. It's a little herd stopped. We remembered, you bowen,
Speaker 1: We still don't have time for the moment. Let me
Speaker 1: say something. We're on a schedule, so we don't have
Speaker 1: that moment of silence. But we do absolutely have to

Speaker 1: This is I don't think so, honey, starting now, I
Speaker 1: don't think so, honey. When you hook up with someone
Speaker 1: and you go in the morning to go to the
Speaker 1: bathroom and they have one of those roommates who is
Speaker 1: literally in the bathroom for a half an hour, I
Speaker 1: am a guest here, honey, and you know I'm here
Speaker 1: because your roommate is not quiet when he comes. All right,
Speaker 1: So listen, this happened to me last night. Yes, I
Speaker 1: did hashtag hook up last night. I love that, love
Speaker 1: sharing in that with another person. But the roommate this morning.
Speaker 1: How how much longer, honey, do you need to be
Speaker 1: in the bathroom? Seriously, I have shipped to do in
Speaker 1: there and I'm not gonna And there's no way to
Speaker 1: be like cute about it in the morning either, because
Speaker 1: like you leave the room, come back like she's still
Speaker 1: in there, and he's like okay, and then I have
Speaker 1: to fucking do a song and dance. I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: gets out. I am a guest in your house who
Speaker 1: fucking raised you. My mother raised me that, like, if
Speaker 1: my roommate is getting it in, you fucking clear up
Speaker 1: until he goes, or knock on the door and say
Speaker 1: I'm going in the bathroom making a compute comedic moment. Yes,
Speaker 1: I do knock on people's doors when they're having sex. Sorry,
Speaker 1: Sudy and her boyfriend ex boyfriend from four years and
Speaker 1: that is a minute. That is a minute. I used
Speaker 1: to do this thing where whenever I heard, oh my god,
Speaker 1: she's gonna be mad. Whenever I used to hear Sudi
Speaker 1: having sex, I would knock on the door and say
Speaker 1: I'm going out. I love that, and we'll listen. Don't
Speaker 1: you agree? Yes, yes, absolutely, get out. You can't take
Speaker 1: nothing should take that was there? Shower noises? Were there
Speaker 1: any like obvious? I'm I'm trying to that's the thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the girl was doing in there,
Speaker 1: but you gotta get out because it's like, of course,
Speaker 1: it's like one of these situations where it's like on
Speaker 1: with a roommate. I don't know what we're doing. Studio life,
Speaker 1: single life. I'm about to move into a studio. I
Speaker 1: have a studio, I have a place by myself. There
Speaker 1: you go and so now we don't have to do
Speaker 1: that in that life in two weeks. I can't wait.
Speaker 1: Maybe I should just started inviting guys over for just
Speaker 1: for and I don't think so any I had a
Speaker 1: vision of what it will be. That's okay, But anyway, Yes,
Speaker 1: have guys over. That's why you have a studio. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I have a I have a subdivision on the
Speaker 1: other side of the wall is very thin. I can
Speaker 1: often hear the girl cooking. I feel I don't want
Speaker 1: to be like a studio is like, is she like
Speaker 1: I got two table smooths, or she's just it's just
Speaker 1: it's like a lot of covers being slammed, Like she's whispering,
Speaker 1: sounds like oh no, it's going oh no during sex. Obviously,
Speaker 1: I'm worried right now we're having roommates is the only
Speaker 1: thing that like gives me some restraint with the number
Speaker 1: of tricks I want to have over. Just be like, sure,
Speaker 1: do it. Sometimes people text me I'm like, in my
Speaker 1: roommates here, which usually means you don't need to have
Speaker 1: them over, They're good enough. I'm like, it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: my roommates here. I won't be embarrassed if they meet you.
Speaker 1: My note for you is less restraint. All right, God
Speaker 1: bless been done saying that God blessed anyway, it was
Speaker 1: really jarring this morning when I just had to pay
Speaker 1: so and also I'm sorry but fart and I had
Speaker 1: to I had to go in there, and it was
Speaker 1: just like, oh my god, how long could you take? Yeah? So,
Speaker 1: did you return back to the room having not gone?
Speaker 1: I did, because then it's the thing of like you
Speaker 1: don't want to be gone for a long time and
Speaker 1: then come back and be like I was just I
Speaker 1: wasn't taking a ship. I was just in the hallway
Speaker 1: exactly right. Did you explain to him like I couldn't
Speaker 1: get in Yeah, because I mean, what was I So listen,
Speaker 1: I just want everyone to think about that. And that's
Speaker 1: really why I want everyone. That's what I want of
Speaker 1: all my last culture listeners is just think about it.
Speaker 1: I just want you to leave every episode having thought,
Speaker 1: all right, Josh, this is your I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: And you said you had. Yeah, yeah, we'll see if
Speaker 1: it's good. But I had a vision related to the move.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey, And your time starts now, okay, great,
Speaker 1: So I don't think so, honey, Facebook marketplace. So I
Speaker 1: am moving to a studio to get more dick. I'm
Speaker 1: getting rid of some of my ship. I've been posting
Speaker 1: stuff on the Instagram, trying to sell some of it
Speaker 1: to friends, especially if it's like fancy stuff like oh
Speaker 1: a keyboard or amps, where it's like when did I
Speaker 1: have amps? You know? So then I couldn't get anyone
Speaker 1: to buy this amp? Fair fair. I'm not friends with
Speaker 1: you know, straight boys anymore, really, so who needs an amp?
Speaker 1: So I decided I'll see what the Facebook messenger has
Speaker 1: to have. I put it up there thinking it'll be fine.
Speaker 1: But it's not like Craigslist. Remember the craig would be
Speaker 1: like a wall where it's like they couldn't see who
Speaker 1: you were. Means, when it's posted, people are just sliding
Speaker 1: me Josh Sharp's d ms, you know, just frankly just
Speaker 1: going like what's up and saying rude ship, as if
Speaker 1: I can't see you fully. People message me going I
Speaker 1: bet it doesn't work. How is this help? What what
Speaker 1: do you get off on messaging me? I bet it
Speaker 1: does work? And and then and low balling me being
Speaker 1: like fifty dollars or whatever, I'm like, what are you
Speaker 1: doing in the seconds? And I want, you know, put
Speaker 1: it behind a veil let me answer if I want. Ultimately,
Speaker 1: I sold it to a lovely man named Brick. And
Speaker 1: that's one minute b r R bricks, b R I
Speaker 1: X bricks. Now now I don't like it. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: liked Brick. I don't like bricks. Bricks did did he
Speaker 1: first say probably doesn't work? No, bricks was Honestly, Bricks
Speaker 1: was the first responded because he was nagging you. He
Speaker 1: was that person was nagging you, and they clearly wanted
Speaker 1: to suck the Joshua shop. Yeah. And and honestly, Craigslist
Speaker 1: would like send it to a fake email and then
Speaker 1: you'd get it from there and then you could respond.
Speaker 1: They didn't like just get your email. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they don't get your email, which is first dick I
Speaker 1: sucked was Craiglist. That's crazy, josh Really, it was a
Speaker 1: different era. It was thee era. I didn't have the apps.
Speaker 1: Of course, the absent Glee I'm old happened at the
Speaker 1: same one years old and can email you about your
Speaker 1: dick and said probably doesn't work. Yeah, and they said
Speaker 1: fifty dollars. I think a lot of us have that
Speaker 1: Craigslist thing in common. I don't. I know of many
Speaker 1: young children. I did it once when I was in college.
Speaker 1: Fellow showed up was like I actually know you. I
Speaker 1: was like, whoa friend of my brothers. It turned out, oh,
Speaker 1: I don't like that. Did you go through with it?
Speaker 1: We did go through with it. It It was fine. But
Speaker 1: then I think he was in a place of shame after.
Speaker 1: So then I would see him on campus and I
Speaker 1: hate to say this, but he would literally like run
Speaker 1: away if he saw me, Like one time I saw
Speaker 1: him clock me and truly like turn and run. But
Speaker 1: then we became friends after we're both closeted. You know,
Speaker 1: it's tough. It's tough. Um, So listen. This is our guest,

Speaker 1: the same time. I but I kind of like focused
Speaker 1: on my stomach. I hate my stomach. I'm sick of it.
Speaker 1: Has it always been bad? No? When you do eat
Speaker 1: a second weekly salad, well, I have the stomach. It
Speaker 1: I'm like I Trump for not eating vegetables. It hits
Speaker 1: hard with me, and I'm like Jesus am I him?
Speaker 1: And it's because your stomach says no, well it just
Speaker 1: goes yuck. This is bad. Like and I also was
Speaker 1: was never my palate is really trashy. I was only
Speaker 1: fed like super salted. I mean I was a chicken

Speaker 1: person in the group Birds was the spot? Birds was
Speaker 1: the spot? Um? Now it feels like often I'm told
Speaker 1: to go there's also a Mexican place around the corner
Speaker 1: now that we'll go to sometimes. But well, yeah, we're
Speaker 1: all gonna go there because you could get mugged going
Speaker 1: around the world. Oh yeah, No, you don't want to
Speaker 1: go around the corner to the right. It's the cun
Speaker 1: of the I don't want to go across the street
Speaker 1: because that's a celebrity center of scientology and one time,
Speaker 1: and if I go even in there, they're gonna get me.
Speaker 1: I feel very succulate service. You've never had better weight
Speaker 1: service than from people in the culture. Actually, like and

Speaker 1: stuff and like film videos for themselves. It's like a
Speaker 1: studio and it's immaculate. It's gorgeous. I walk back, I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is great. I mean the main celebrity center looks
Speaker 1: like a Disney World. Yeah. I feel very susceptible to
Speaker 1: it because I'm like, I went to church for a
Speaker 1: long time. We got no good hook cups off it.
Speaker 1: Who who I'll go here? Go there? In the restaurant,
Speaker 1: I was like, where where's the restroom? And instead of
Speaker 1: doing like around the corner, he fully walked me there.
Speaker 1: It was a football field away. Like we went like
Speaker 1: a half mile and walked me all the way to
Speaker 1: the door. And then held the door rapping for me,
Speaker 1: and I realized it's probably because he's I don't want
Speaker 1: you peeking around nowhere. There's culture number eleven that's wrong
Speaker 1: with scientology. There's a lot that's wrong with scientology. And
Speaker 1: you know, I could sit here and just tickle each
