18
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: All right because I had a really good times.

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: Funny, because I know you for so many years, watching

20
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: your work for so many years, you just seem like

21
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 2: this staple in our lives. But then I realized I

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: don't really know, like, but you're also private.

23
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 1: In a weird way.

24
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you walk this fine line of like, y'all know me,

25
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: you know exactly who I am, right, but so y'all.

26
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: Don't know shit. At the same time, I feel like

27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: you walk that line. I'm somewhat you know, introverted also,

28
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, how does that happen? As a comedian,

29
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: we are where we can? Yeah. I think it's because

30
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: we're always observing, you know, so we kind of like

31
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: sit back and just and just watch instead of uh,

32
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, running the room or whatever. So yeah, and

33
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: I can get a little awkward too. I guess it's

34
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: social settings. Yeah, I do not like the schmooths and

35
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: mingle and.

36
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: All that I enjoyed comedians so much on the pot

37
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: because because of that reason exactly, because you are observers

38
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 2: and so you sit Do you judge us a little bit?

39
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: You do? I'm getting better with it. I'm trying. I'm

40
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: trying not too, but yeah, the.

41
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 2: Habit of that Your job as a as a great

42
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 2: comedian is to look around point out the ship that

43
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: we see. But we we can't really wrap our minds around, right,

44
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: But you're doing that all day every day.

45
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: Right Somewhat.

46
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I can turn it off? You can, Yeah,

47
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 2: I can turn it off, but but can you?

48
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: I can? And I think that's why I like doing

49
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: things like jigsaw puzzles. I have to have something else,

50
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: you know, going one to keep in mind from from

51
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: you know, looking around.

52
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: And because I would imagine living life like that all

53
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: the time. It's good because you're like self aware, you

54
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 2: think things through. But also it keeps you in your

55
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: brain all the time, right, Like your mind is like

56
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 2: always animal pisces.

57
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: So what does that mean? Oh, pisces were in our

58
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: heads a lot all the time, all the time. Yeah,

59
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: So when did this happen to you?

60
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: Like what age do you, like, at what point in

61
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: your life as a child or a young person do

62
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 2: you think does it come clear to you that this

63
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: that you're Yeah, I've been like this a long time.

64
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. As a kid, yeah, I would get in trouble

65
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: because my mom said, uh that I would talk too much,

66
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, and I think what she meant, Like, as

67
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 1: a kid, I would say things maybe out of turn

68
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: or I had opinions and uh, and also I was

69
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: very observant. I would say things that would like embarrass them,

70
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: like you know, her her friend would come over and

71
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: and I would, you know, I tell her like her

72
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: wig was crooked, you know, and stuff like that, and

73
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: you yeah, yeah, they weren't going, Yeah, like why is

74
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: your part over here? You know, stuff like that. And

75
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: it was embarrassing. So they would whenever they had company over,

76
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: they would uh send me over to my grandmother's. They

77
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: didn't even want me in the house when they had

78
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: a company because they thought I was gonna Yeah that

79
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: was like a little you know, like a little tom bomb.

80
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: So they they would send me away. But what is that?

81
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: Is that natural or is that like environment or is

82
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: that I don't know, is that a god giving gifts?

83
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: Like I didn't have. I guess I didn't have a filter.

84
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: You know, I was too young to know. Oh you're

85
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: not supposed to say these things, you know, but people

86
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: would laughing. Yeah, Like to me, I had to I

87
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: had to set up, but no punchlines, you know what

88
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I would just give it to them straight.

89
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: So uh, after you know, several spankings and all, you know,

90
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: then I got it got better. I guess that I

91
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: became more entertaining because they would pay me to go

92
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: to my grandmother. Is that instead of just you know, punishment.

93
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 2: Gonna say, when did somebody say, you know what, maybe

94
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: there's some use for that.

95
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: I guess like it in high school, Uh, you know,

96
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: I wasn't disruptive in class, but uh, they they definitely would,

Speaker 1: you know, say like I was the class clown and

98
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: you know, and uh they you know, say you should

99
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: be on stage and things like that. But I didn't.

100
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: I never thought of it like that because you know,

00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, when you're like dumb and fearless, yeah, you're capable

157
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 2: of greatness.

158
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: It's like anything because you're not scared, right, and and me.

159
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 2: The idea of like, uh, getting on the stage and

160
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 2: telling jokes and then all these eyeballs looking at you

161
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: waiting for you to be funny is terrifying.

162
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: Like to me, that would be so I would be

163
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: so scared. Ye. Yeah, the fact that you were like, yeah,

164
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, I'll go try this out right and the

165
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: audience feels that. So the audience saw me, I'm on

166
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 1: stage like, oh, she's calling, don't care. She don't care,

167
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: so I can laugh. But when you're on stage and

168
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: you're you know, your little little little timid, and they

169
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: sensed that and they're like, it's not okay.

170
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: So you're on the stage the first night and you're

171
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 2: kind of killing it clearly, Yeah, it's everybody's who is she?

172
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: Are you? What's happening to you? And that? Are you

173
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: feeling it? Are you? Like? Yeah, the light bulb went on.

174
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, this is what I'm supposed to be doing.

175
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: You knew. I knew right away right away. Wow, that's

176
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: a great. People search their whole life they don't know

177
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: know right you get that work and there it is, yep,

178
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: and it all made sense. That must have felt amazing.

179
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: It did until you know, I go back to the

180
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: club and bomb. Then you're like, oh, maybe this is

181
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: not you know, but I stayed with this, so I said, no,

182
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 1: this is Yeah.

183
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 2: It didn't discourage you enough to stop, right right, so

184
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 2: it all made sense. Well, were joking about that, Oh god,

185
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 2: it was you know, it was like Seinfeld type jokes.

186
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: It was, you know, a lot of observations. And I

187
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 1: remember the first joke was about the remember that carboard,

188
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 1: the sunglasses, the auto shades, the thing you put it

189
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: in your window your pocket. Son, Well there's instructions on

190
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: the side of it. So I'm like, who needs these instructions?

191
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: You know, like you can't figure out how this works,

192
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: you know, like it tells you to remove it before

193
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: starting your car, Like really, you know that's good? Yeah,

194
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: that's good. Yeah, look at you writing jokes, jokes, joke jokes.

195
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 2: Even the same job writing some jokes. And that was

196
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 2: how many years ago?

197
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: Jesus? Oh wow, that was what ninety No, that was

198
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: eighty eight. Yeah, I started eighties. Yeah, I started my

199
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,719
Speaker 1: first time, will say it was like eighty seven, eighty eight,

200
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: eighty seven.

201
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: Okay, So then they say, oh she's good, and you're

202
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: you're going out, You're doing the shrine and that moment

203
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: is a real moment in people's lives. People missed that

204
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: moment too, because the fear will kick in, or the

205
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 2: expectation will kick in. And think about nowadays, right, you

206
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: didn't have social media. You didn't have the fear of

207
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: like I'm going that stage and people at my job

208
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 2: are going to see me on Instagram?

209
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, And I don't know.

210
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 2: I just think sometimes people don't even get the engine

211
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 2: going because.

212
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: M fear fear, yeah, cribbled by fear. Yeah, and it's

213
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: also the the fear of everyone in the fear of failure.

214
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: But sometimes it's just like they don't want to put

215
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: the work in because I think, uh, now things come

216
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: so so quickly, right, So, but back then, like I said,

217
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 1: we didn't have all that we you, we had to

218
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,239
Speaker 1: go city to city and build the audience.

219
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 2: Uh break by brick wow.

220
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: So yeah.

221
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 2: And there's the part about that and taking that time

222
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 2: is that you you're honing your crack, you're learning how

223
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 2: to do it, you learn how to flop feels like, yeah,

224
00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 2: what does that feel like?

225
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: Though? When you go out and it's it's not good, Oh,

226
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: it's horrible, horrible, feeling you can't sleep. You just you

227
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: think everybody knows, you know, like you're just like, yeah,

228
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: I know you saw that. People look like, what are

229
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: you talking about? You know, it's just horrible. Your food

230
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: doesn't even taste right, like it's it doesn't go away

231
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: until you have a good show your back, then you're back.

232
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 2: So it's like an addiction in a way. Yeah, do

233
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: you feel like that becomes an addiction?

234
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely, Yeah, absolutely, I mean you gotta have it.

235
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: It's like I gotta, I gotta get to the stage.

236
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: It was nothing worse than bombing on like a on

237
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: like a like a Friday or or Thursday, because back then,

238
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 1: you know, we only had open mics on it was

239
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: like Wednesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays sometimes Friday. So if you

240
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: bomb Friday, you couldn't get back on stage until Wednesday,

241
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: so your your weekend and everything.

242
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, nasty, Yeah, oh terrible, that is terrible. It's

243
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 2: just it's been a long time since you had one

244
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: of those, right, Yeah.

245
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: It does that show up in different ways for you,

246
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: Like now as a season comedian, you don't bomb, but

247
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: these things maybe not work out the way you like,

248
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: do you have do you handle something like ticket sales. Yeah, yeah,

249
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 1: that if if you look out and it's like, man,

250
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: they had to close the balcony, and it's like, you know,

251
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: it's kind of that yeah, that that that feeling. Yeah

252
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: that or sometimes you know, or if you like, I

253
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: have a new bit and I'm like, oh, this is

255
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: But but I it doesn't bother me as much because

256
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: I you know, I know, I'm trying something new and

257

258
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,880

259
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,320

Speaker 2: party started. We just interviewed Patty the Bell. We have

289
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 2: Patty on the pod. Okay, she's such a g I

290
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: love her. But she talks about earlier in her career,

291
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: knowing that moment, same moment you're talking about. She had

292
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 2: a moment like that she did somewhere over the rainbow

293
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: and she put it out and everybody responded in this

294
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 2: crazy way, and she was like, oh man, this is

295
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: I think I'm.

296
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: Actually good at this, like or whatever.

297
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 2: But she said she she went out and she got

298
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: a standing ovation, and she says she's been chasing standing ovations.

299
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: Since since that time, like she works for the standing

300
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: for the standing ovation. Wow, So is that what a shoot?

301
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: She's eighty two? Yeah, maybe probably, And she's eighty two

302
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: and I feel like she's still still working for the

303
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: standing ovation. And some part of that makes me feel like, oh,

304
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: that's exhausting. But then also like maybe that has something

305
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: to do with why she's eighty two and has so

306
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: much life and so much joy and exuberants and passion

307
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,120

Speaker 1: Yeah, which people, I mean, they want it. They And

337
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: I had a hard time with that as far as

338
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: like how much of it too you know for it

339
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: to be in the show. You know, I did have

340
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: to have to like really like think about that because

341
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: at one point it was like, is this too much?

342
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 1: You know, because we're just bombarded with this crap all day?

343
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: Do they want to just laugh about, you know, silly

344
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: stuff or do they want to actually handle this real,

345
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: real truth, you know, what's going on? And I noticed

346
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: that when I would just go you know, hey, you know,

347
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: we know everything sucks, so let's just you know, let's

348
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 1: just have some fun that I would see in their

349
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: faces like no, that's not this isn't what you do, wander,

350
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: this is no. We want we want what you do

351
00:18:55,840 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: to talk about. Let's talk about it. And then I

352
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: would some shows I would really just go off and

353
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: then I can see their face like, Okay, now let's

354
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: let's move on. You're doing too much. Now let's move on.

355
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: You know. So I had to find that balance. But

356
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: people really do appreciate it that, you know, yeah.

357
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 2: Because it's like like you said, it's like a release

358
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: of like, oh god, I've been holding inside.

359
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then how do you release? Then? Is it

360
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 1: part of release for you? It is? It is, And

361
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: but I have to find that that space of okay,

362
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: is this funny? You know, because you could go easily

363
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: go on a ramp and there's no joke. So it's like, okay,

364
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: unless you find a joke, you know, you can't talk

365
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: about it. You got it. It has to be a joke. Yeah,

366
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: it has to be funny. Yeah.

367
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure everybody's asking me about the Kevin harbrose. That's

368
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 2: been the topic of conversation is when like when is

369
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 2: it okay to say certain things?

370
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: Right? Uh, in the frame of a joke? Right? And

371
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: so it's gotta be funny. Is that the rule for you?

372
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: It's got to be funny. It's gotta be funny. Yeah,

373
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: that George flod joke was not funny, not funny. It

374
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: was such a stretch, was reach. But I got to

375
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: be honest, I don't think a lot of that ship

376
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 1: was funny. A lot of it was not funny. It

377
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: was that bitch was funny. You're a whole it's not

378
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: even jokes. I didn't think any of that ship was funny.

379
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: A lot of it was not. I'm like, it's not

380
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: a joke, it's not a little bit of a dark

381
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 1: sense of humor. Like, yeah, I could go dark too.

382
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: Yeah you know what I'm saying.

383
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can say some low shit, but it is funny, right,

384
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 2: But I think everybody has their own line.

385
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: It was just a lot of lazy you know. I'm

386

489
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: then I leave the room and they crack up there.

490
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 1: Then you know, they just started laughing, like it's like, look,

491
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: I knew she wouldn't take it. I knew she couldn't

492
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: take it. She could take but yeah, it's it's uh,

493
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: it's interesting because they don't have to think about things,

494
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 1: you know, like like we were going go on a

495
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: walk and I'm staying on the path, you know, and

496
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: they just can just wander off, and I'm like, you're

497
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: not supposed to be over there to pick over you

498
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: on the path.

499
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 2: That's why they made the path, and they just wandered off,

500
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 2: you know, free, free, but they you know, they just

501
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 2: have that that that freedom.

502
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: It's like a whole life that you've created for yourself

503
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: where you can constantly learn, analyze, see the difference and experiences. Yeah,

504
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: you're right, because it was so funny. I was at

505
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 1: my son plays tennis, and I was he had a

506
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: match and they you know, the courts, they didn't have

507
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: any bleachers or whatever, so like most tennis so and

508
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: I noticed like he was on this side of the court,

509
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,479
Speaker 1: so I wanted to watch him, you know, from from

510
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: from behind so I can watch see what his swing

511
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: is doing. And but no one was over there. So

512
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: I was like, I guess, you know, maybe you're not

513
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: supposed to sit on that side, you know, where the

514
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: grass is, so I just standing on the other side.

515
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 1: So after he said, did you get any video of

516
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: me from from the back? I said, nas, I wanted

517
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: to go over there, but I didn't see anybody you know,

518
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: over there, so I didn't think you were allowed. He

519
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: was like what like like it was like I wasn't

520
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: even speaking English. He was like, wait what I said allowed?

521
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: He said, what do you mean? I said what? It

522
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: wasn't so I didn't see anybody over there, so I

523
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: didn't think. He was like, but why would you think?

524
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,239
Speaker 1: And he was like, I don't understand. I was like,

525
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: I forgot you a white man. You don't you don't understand?

526
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: You do understand? I said, I got a whole thing

527
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 1: in my head, you know, didn't want to go over there.

528
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: And somebody said, hey, you know, I never want somebody

529
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: to tell me you're not supposed to be be somewhere,

530
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: so and he just he just was like, doesn't understand,

531
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: Like like his head was gonna explode, like what the what?

532
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: But it's weird. It's weird that I think that about

533
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: things like that. But yet I'll go on stage and

534
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: say whatever the fun I want to say, I don't like.

535
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why I enjoy it because you people can't

536
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: tell me what you know I'm not allowed to do. Yeah,

537
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: that's freedom. Yeah. How does the family manage you going

538
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: on stage and sharing so much of this? How does that?

539
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: What's the dynamic of that my kids are now at

540
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: the age where they would rather not be in the show. Uh,

541
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: my wife out. She loves being in the show. She

542
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: loves it as long as I'm nice to her on

543
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:48,479
Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, but she doesn't smoke. That's how I

544
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 1: see her. Just yeah, that's really funny. Yeah, but you know,

545
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: as long as I'm you know, not dissing her anything.

546
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: She's she loves. She's a good sport. She was a

547
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: great sports. And you've been married? How many years? Oh?

548
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 3: Wow?

549
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: A lot? Well we met and met in six so

550
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: we've been together for like twenty years. Wow, married, it'll

551
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: be eighteen. Yes, we married before, you were married before. Yeah,

552
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 1: two marriages, no one I was married. Yeah, if you

553
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: were married before and you're married now. Oh I thought

554
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: you said that I have two marriages. Marriages. Yes, yes,

555
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: you had a husband. I had a whole husband, and

556
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: now you have a whole wife, a whole wife, and

557
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: I mean obviously the wife is bad wife. Yeah, this

558
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: that works. I was trying something with the husband. I

559
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: was I was trying to make it work. I was

560
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: trying you like, let me see, let me try this,

561
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: and it didn't work.

562
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 2: How fast did you know though? Like No, what were

563
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 2: you trying to try? Like, what were you trying to

564
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 2: Were you trying to prove something to me?

565
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: No? I mean you know I had always dated guys. Yeah,

566
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: and so I guess. Yeah. It was just you know,

567
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't in my mind like I shouldn't be doing this,

568
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: you know it I didn't. Yeah, I said, okay, this,

569
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: I can make this worry. It was just it was

570
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: just a bad relationship. Well then that doesn't Workyeah, exactly

571
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,480
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, Yeah, exactly, Yeah, it doesn't. Yeah, baship, just

572
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: a bad relationship.

573
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it didn't scare you enough to not want

574
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 2: to try that again, because sometimes sometimes divorce people just

575
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 2: stay divorced.

576
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: They're like, marriage is not for me.

577
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah whatever, It's just it's hard to get up for

578
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 2: some people.

579
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,239
Speaker 1: You know, if you fall in love and it just

580
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,719
Speaker 1: makes sense. I didn't think I wanted kids, you know,

581
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: but it just she wanted kids. Yeah, and you made

582
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: the decision to that. Yeah, Like why wouldn't I want

583
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: to raise a family with this person? What is it then?

584
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: What is it?

585
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 2: What is the thing that you got right this time

586
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 2: that you got wrong last time in terms of being

587
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 2: a wife? And I don't know making a marriage work, like,

588
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 2: I'm sure you've had to learn.

589
00:31:55,640 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, just just growth. And it just made sense.

590
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: She was just you know, your person, that my person. Yeah, yeah,

591
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: it just made sense. And you were younger the first time, right, Yeah,

592
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean I was in my twenties. So, I mean,

593
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: nobody know how to be married. I don't know. Yeah,

594
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: you know anything. Do twenty year olds know how to

595
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: be married? I don't. I don't know.

596
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 2: Maybe you know, maybe somebody, somebody for sure, I didn't

597
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 2: have known how to be married. In my toys, I

613
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,360

614
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: don't want to do it, and I feel okay about that.

615

00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: I still have a little leg right right, but you

619
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:34,160

Speaker 1: that part, right for sure, and especially like I see

621

00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: through also with like uh older parents and you have

623
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: to you know, be available for for for them and

624
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: so your time is precious. They don't prepare.

625
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 2: They don't prepare us for that in life and not

626
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 2: at all having to take care of our parents.

627
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, are you taking care of both right now? Well?

628
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: I mean my my my my dad you know, he's

629
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 1: physically you know, everything's there, but just mentally, you know,

630
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: short term memories is going. But my mom she's his

631
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 1: his you know, main caretaker. But they also you know,

632
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: live with my brother and his wife. So they you know,

633
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: they they're they have people. But I, you know, I

634
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: have to make sure I can also be involved and

635
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: get down there and spend time with them because I

636
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: also enjoy, you know, enjoy spending time with them. I

637
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: take my mom out to the casinos, give her a

638
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:42,080

640
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 2: It's the thing that they don't prepare us for. No,

641
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 2: because financially it's a thing just their well being, is

642
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 2: caring for an adult. It's like, you don't think about

643
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 2: the fact that we have to do that in all

644
00:34:58,440 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 2: the houses.

645
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,359

00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: and you can do that.

647
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:08,520

Speaker 2: Our Voice Note where somebody sends you a message, just

673
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 2: usually a listener a fan of the pod. So this

674
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 2: is from what like somebody who works on the Sherfy.

675
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 1: Sheppership payn Swanda. My name is Brittany J.

676
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 3: And I'm a comedy writer who's just turning out in

677
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 3: stand up. I recently had the opportunity to open up

678
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 3: for my boss. The first night went really well. I

679
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 3: had them cackl the honey. But the second night there

680
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 3: were people like walking to their seats during the whole set,

681
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 3: and I couldn't tell if people just weren't rocking with

682
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 3: me or if there were just too many distractions. So

683
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 3: I'm not a shy, like, I'm not shying from the people,

684
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 3: but with stand up, I feel like they're just staring

685
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 3: at you, like make me laugh right now. So it's

686
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 3: kind of stressful to me. And it's a practice set, right,

687
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 3: so I'm not really sure how to finagle. So my

688
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 3: question is, when you were starting out, if a room

689
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 3: wasn't really responding, did you pivot in real time to

690
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 3: try to win them back or did you stick to

691
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 3: the set and just rework it later? And how do

692
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 3: you know when a set is actually ready to perform?

693
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: Huh, don't care. There's a long ass long.

694
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 3: I know.

695
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: Okay, So what is the gist of the I was

696
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: gonna say, that's the gist of the question is do

697
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: you stay in the set? Right? Well? I think she

698
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 1: I mean she answered her her question in that long

699
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:28,760
Speaker 1: ass question. You know what I'm saying. She's she's she's distracted.

700
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: She's talking about into the point fast. That's Number one

701
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 1: was edit. You have to edit, and that's what I

702
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: can tell by her question. So get to the point.

703
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: So yeah, if if there's if the room is that

704
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: there's a lot of distractions. Uh, you have to let

705
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: the room settle. So instead of going right to material,

706
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 1: have some things to warm up everybody. Okay, you you

707
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: know you gotta gotta get get their attention, get their

708
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,919
Speaker 1: attention before. Yeah.

709
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:04,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I would imagine pivoting is it's part of

710
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 2: it's all. Yeah, that's part of it. If something's not working.

711
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: You pivot. Yeah it's not working. You just a no,

712
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: I'm a dig deep. Yeah, I'm going in. No, No,

713
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: you gotta pivot. Yeah, work the room. Right, it's like

714
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: a good DJ. This song isn't work. You got exactly,

715
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: exactly get to the hook. That's right. No, we got

716
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: three more minutes on this.

717
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 2: Number one like when when young aspiring comedians, what what

718
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 2: is your like go to advice for somebody who's starting

719
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 2: in this space. And everybody's a comedian, I mean the

720
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 2: social media who have an Instagram page and that could

721
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 2: be a.

722
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 1: I always tell them to write, right, it's about the

723
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, you have to have the material. You could

724
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 1: be naturally funny, but what do you what are you saying?

725
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: And also the comics that I love you you learned

726
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: something about them, you know, or you when you walk

727
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: away you feel like I kind of like know how

728
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 1: this person operates, and you can remember something about them.

729
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: It was some place and the person is hilarious, and

730
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 1: then you walk out and go, I have no idea

731
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 1: what they said, but it was hilarious. You know it's

732
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: making me laugh. But you know, there's no takeaway. You

733
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 1: want people to leave a piece of you almost right,

734
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,800
Speaker 1: and be able to tell someone one of the jokes

735
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: that's really something, something they can remember. How do you

736
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: do that? Like?

737
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 2: What is that process? Even this legacy special? Like when

738
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 2: you're about to start writing, do you start with like

739
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 2: what's on your heart?

740
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: What's in the world? How does that even? What's that process?

741
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 3: Like?

742
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: It's usually what's in the world? I start there and

743
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: then it's you know, what's going on with me? But

744
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: I you know, I tour for like at least two

745
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: years before working it out, before I becomes a special.

746
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: Do people always expect you to be funny? Yes? Is

747
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 1: that annoying? Yes? Yeah? Because you're not like a no

748
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: I am not. I'm not and and it's the thing

749
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: that really got to me was that the whole Larry

750
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: David thing, because now people think I'm this, you know,

751
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: crazy woman who just yells at you. So I would

752
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: get that a lot in airports, people coming up to

753
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: me wanting to cuss me out. Why what come on?

754
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 1: My mom's on the phone, tell her go fund herself.

755
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 1: I's wrong with you? Fuck is wrong with you? And

756
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: I ended up yelling at them anyway because they're you know,

757
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: because they annoyed me, Like why that's not who I am?

758
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? What should people know about who

759
00:40:59,040 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: you are?

760
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 2: Versus the difference of like the comedian Wanda Sykes and

761
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 2: the in real life Wanda Sykes?

762
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:14,360
Speaker 1: Uh is there a separation and the yeah Wanda Sykes

763
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: on stage really you know, gives no fucks me?

764
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 2: Uh?

765
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a lot. I think a lot of empathy.

766
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: I do care. I care you care? Yeah? Oh yeah?

767
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: Consensitive told you.

768
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 2: All right, let's do some in real life questions. In

769
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 2: real life, what are you most proud of about your career?

770
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 2: But you're able to accomplish I'm my career longevity and

771
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 2: and I like how it's the climb. It's not you know,

772
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 2: it's no and then shoot up to the top or anything.

773
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 2: It's just steady work and growth and and I still

774
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 2: challenge myself, you know, still push Yeah.

775
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,800
Speaker 1: Good for you. Yeah, I still love it. You do

776
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: still love it? Yeah as much? Yep. Wow. Is there

777
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: any dark sides to it or anything that's not fun

778
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: for you that you have to push through? I think

779
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: now it's it's a reflection of where we are in

780
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 1: the country. I think that's that's the part. Yeah, because before,

781
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 1: you know, we could laugh at each other. I could,

782
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: I could do a joke about you know, George Bush whatever,

783
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 1: and even Republicans or whatever, they would find it funny.

784
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 1: You know. It was like like, Okay, that's funny. But

785
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: you know, I don't agree. I don't agree with it,

786
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: but it's funny. That doesn't that doesn't exist anymore. We're

787
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: just so just just utterly just divided, and uh, it's

788
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,760
Speaker 1: ugly and you know a lot of racism is just rampant.

789
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,520
Speaker 1: So take some of the fun out of you too.

790
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it does. Yeah, because there's no like, I

791
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: don't know, there's just one side. Can't see the other

792
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: side at all.

793
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 2: It's not even like I don't even see the humor

794
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 2: in your side, right, that makes it less fun? I'm sure, Yeah,

795
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 2: somebody like you make poke fun at things and you

796
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 2: can't even.

797
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: Laugh at it.

798
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 2: Come on, guys, what about the difference between acting and

799
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 2: doing stand up? Because you've done so many movies, and

800
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 2: even in your movies, there's always I don't know, I

801
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 2: feel like you come into the movie with the way

802
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 2: you your style, and it's so unique to you that

803
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 2: it always adds.

804
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: Like even if I saw recently Monster in Law and

805
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 1: you're so wander.

806
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 2: Sikes in it and it's and it works so good

807
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 2: and it's so different than any how anybody else would

808
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 2: have played that character, Like, you really bring a uniqueness

809
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 2: to when you step into a film.

810
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: I just wonder if that's just natural or it's well,

811
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: it's I think, why I get I get the part.

812
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's what they what they want. They want

813
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: the one to sight. They'll they'll say, want the sights type.

814
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: I was like, well, I guess that's you know, let's

815
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: just get one sights, you know, get in there, get

816
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: in there for that. Right. Do you like that as

817
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: much or is it still it stands up It's still

818
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 1: your baby, right, stand up is still that's that's still

819
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 1: my baby. That's where it all started, you know. Uh,

820
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: it's still the most challenging. So I love stand up,

821
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,439
Speaker 1: but the acting I love working with other people. That's fun. Hey, guys.

Speaker 1: And you know what, only only time I think about

872
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: it is when a project is presented to me and

873
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: I'm on the fence if I want to do it

874
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,320

00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: be a trigger. Lobster mac and cheese. Whenever I see

881
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: lobster mac and cheese on a menu, I'm like, I

882
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: don't want to eat here. Why? Because it does? It does?

883
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 1: It shouldn't exist. It's not a thing. Lobster mac and

884
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 1: cheese is not a thing. When I see lobster mac

885
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,360
Speaker 1: and cheese, it makes me think, One, you don't know

886

Speaker 1: how to make mac and cheese. You need to lobster

887

Speaker 1: in it, and you're ruining lobster putting all that cheese on. Ye.

888
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 1: That annoys me. You know how many places have lobster

889
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: mac and it's trash. Lobster mac and cheese is trash? Okay?

00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: In real life?

891
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 2: What is something that you are still chasing? Something that

892
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 2: you you still must accomplish and while you're here? Hmmm, wow,

893
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:52,879
Speaker 2: is there something still?

894
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,399
Speaker 1: I have done so much. I don't think there's anything

895
00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm like chasing. Yeah, nothing is that? Peace? Is that

896
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: what peace looks like? I think that's I think it's

897
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: maybe I don't know about peace. Uh, gratitude and and

898
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: and I just know. And it's just the belief of

899
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 1: I know what what's for me, I will get it.

900
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, I just let it, just let it come

901

918
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 2: And I just wonder how much of that is like

919
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 2: a sense of pride for you, yeah, and who you've

920
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 2: been able to represent for and put on for.

921
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I am. I I think about it,

922
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: and uh yeah, I just I just like to just

923
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: be just you know, yeah, because it wasn't but things

924
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,800
Speaker 1: weren't like this no before.

925
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:39,320
Speaker 2: No.

926
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 1: But I mean also that's that's growth when you when

927
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:48,759
Speaker 1: you are comfortable in your own skin, and just I

928
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 1: just find that being authentic it's just so much easier.

929
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: I don't I don't need that's stress trying to be

930
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: someone else or you know, worrying about what other people

931
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: have and what I don't have. Now it's you know,

932
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: it's like this, this is the way it's supposed to be.

933
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: Was that always the case or did you have to

934
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 1: find that? I think I had to find that. Yeah,

935
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 1: and that comes I think that comes with faith also,

936
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,600
Speaker 1: you know, my faith in God. I think that's that

937
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 1: definitely browns me. And it's an easier way to live, right,

938
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: It's so much easier. You know, we get that wrong though,

939
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 1: until we don't. Right.

940
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 2: That's why when I see somebody living just you live

941
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 2: your life like it's you know, it just it's it's

942
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 2: good to see you know what I mean.

943
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people they struggle. You know,

944
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: people struggle with that, especially now we're their opinions on

945
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 1: every turn.

946
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 2: Living in your truth's not always an easy thing or

947
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 2: taken for granted, you know, taking for granted that people

948
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 2: can do that.

949
00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:58,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, so you represent well one O. Thank you.

950
00:51:58,120 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 1: All right, let's just go to the last question. It's

951
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,240
Speaker 1: my favorite in the ball. If God were to text

952
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: you right now, well, I'm excited about what you're saying

953
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: to this. If God were to send you a text

954
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:10,879
Speaker 1: right now to your phone, Linda, what would it say? Uh?

955
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: I think it would say, Oh, you know it would say, uh,

956
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: you might want to read your Bible a little bit more.

957
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,040
Speaker 1: I think I think that's what he would say, Like, Hey,

958
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 1: put that put that wordle down. How about turned to Romans.

959
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: How about read a little bit in Romans and put

960
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: that put that wordle down. You know that's a good message. Yeah,

961
00:52:49,160 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: it's just very specific. Mesh. This is Onto Sikes in
