Speaker 1: Look mad oh, I see you. Look over there. How
Speaker 1: is that culture? Yes? Goodness, here we are even I
Speaker 1: am having such a good time. I mean, we're here
Speaker 1: in l A together. I want to just really savor
Speaker 1: this concept of us being in the studio together, because
Speaker 1: for so long this has not been the reality of
Speaker 1: this podcast. In fact, people have written things up about how,
Speaker 1: oh my god, lost Culturistas made it work being you know,
Speaker 1: bi coastal and such. And I don't want to be
Speaker 1: celebrated for that because I don't prefer that. I actually
Speaker 1: don't prefer it. And I think that all of our
Speaker 1: episodes that we've done in COVID or No One, Void,
Speaker 1: not Cannon, I don't think of them. Are we taking
Speaker 1: them off the count? Little girl? Little girl? Are we
Speaker 1: taking them off the count? We'll be taking off They'll
Speaker 1: be taking off the They don't count as episodes, and
Speaker 1: we're starting over. No, just kidding. In fact, we are
Speaker 1: barreling towards our three, which we have announced. I feel
Speaker 1: great is the Great Global Songbook. Lock Culture is just
Speaker 1: presents the Great Global song the three hundred songs of
Speaker 1: the Great Global Song Book. That is our episode. We
Speaker 1: are soaring towards it. And um, really we're taking suggestions.
Speaker 1: We're taking your suggestions. We you. I will just say
Speaker 1: that you and I have not been We have not
Speaker 1: discussed this yet because normally we have I think for
Speaker 1: before to two moments, like, really, it was just a
Speaker 1: Google doc. Basically, I don't want to reveal too much
Speaker 1: about the process. Well, I don't want to reveal too
Speaker 1: much about the process because then it just takes away
Speaker 1: from the enjoyment of the experience, sir, because the thing
Speaker 1: is they don't want to see the work, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? When Meryl Streeps does adaptation. When Meryl
Speaker 1: Streeps does adaptation, you don't want to know that she
Speaker 1: how she how she got there. You just want to
Speaker 1: see what's her face Susan or Lean exactly, smoking weed,
Speaker 1: smoking weed and getting high. Of course, adaptation Meryl's greatest performance,
Speaker 1: one of them. So I don't to say too much
Speaker 1: about the Google doc of it all, but suffice it
Speaker 1: to say there was one for the top two hundred,
Speaker 1: and will there be one for the great Space? Watch
Speaker 1: this space? Can they say? I don't think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a Google doc. I think it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: Google sheet because I want some fucking filters on that bitch.
Speaker 1: That'll be good for being tables. Yeah. I don't know
Speaker 1: how to use Google sheet, so I think that this
Speaker 1: would be a huge opportunity for me because then once
Speaker 1: I learned Google sheet, this guy's limits. I am so
Speaker 1: interested in computers and how they work. Did you know
Speaker 1: that I used to be a person who didn't who
Speaker 1: believed that my computer didn't make PDFs. There was a
Speaker 1: time in our lives when Matt Rodgers said, I have
Speaker 1: a virus on my MacBook that doesn't let me create
Speaker 1: PDF and you to send things to study, and she'd
Speaker 1: make them into PDFs and print them out for me,
Speaker 1: because I into that my computer did not many PDFs.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, and you and you were connested. The
Speaker 1: source of the virus was porn. For sure, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be something I watched so much porn, But porn that
Speaker 1: was always scrambled limited to the browser. It wasn't you're
Speaker 1: downloading things never, So then how would the virus make
Speaker 1: its way? I think viruses could be really sneaky about,
Speaker 1: especially now in the age of oh my god, you
Speaker 1: know this, this this oicron virus can just sneak in
Speaker 1: the cracks. You know, it doesn't matter who acted it
Speaker 1: or not, doesn't matter. Um I I wanna um just
Speaker 1: really rejoice in the fact that our guest is with
Speaker 1: us today. The third appearance on the show. Third appearance
Speaker 1: on the show, they get a jacket, they get No,
Speaker 1: we don't have one. We don't have the kind of money. UM,
Speaker 1: I mean we This was even before her half hour
Speaker 1: on the stand Ups on Netflix came in, which is exemplary.
Speaker 1: But we've one of my favorites, and we faggots have
Speaker 1: been out here saying me you Josh Sharp, Aaron Jackson
Speaker 1: have all been saying our favorite stand up comedian, my
Speaker 1: belo period, my beloved friend and guest on this podcast,
Speaker 1: Jared Freeder, the director and writer of Three Months out
Speaker 1: Now on Paramount This when when there was a moment
Speaker 1: where I was during early days of COVID, when I
Speaker 1: was on the zoom on the podcast Couples Therapy with
Speaker 1: Naomi and Andy of Fantastic Fantastic podcast, and I had
Speaker 1: Jared come into the room to bring me something because
Speaker 1: I knew that when he looked on the screen and
Speaker 1: son Naomi, I knew what would happen. His jaw would
Speaker 1: drop and he would say, you're my favorite comedian. And
Speaker 1: that's what happened. And that's what happened. And he said
Speaker 1: this in front of me, in front of Joe Kim,
Speaker 1: in front of all sorts of comedians. He says, no,
Speaker 1: Naomi is my favorite comedian, and he does an impression
Speaker 1: of her responsibly. He says, he says, white women, that's
Speaker 1: that's classic name. And he says, what is it my
Speaker 1: Melanie's my angelus or whatever it is. Don't go running
Speaker 1: in alone in the in the streets or whatever whatever
Speaker 1: it is. Um, that joke isn't in the special. Please
Speaker 1: check out the special. Check her out on Mythic Quest
Speaker 1: as Carol um she id, And this is this is
Speaker 1: someone who writes an acts flawlessly and does stand up. No.
Speaker 1: This is like this is like the Triple Crown Renaissance woman.
Speaker 1: But this is the comedy. This is the comedy, Like,
Speaker 1: this is what we wish we could do when you
Speaker 1: can write, act and stand up. I'm no, I'm you're
Speaker 1: you're saying this in like a jokey way, like don't
Speaker 1: ever project anything onto me. I think it's like truly,
Speaker 1: like no one can do that. There's no one that
Speaker 1: can do that. No, I'm thinking because I'm gonna. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm saying like, it's so hard to do all three.
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying. I mean. And the people who
Speaker 1: are like supposedly do well and being fucking crooks, they're
Speaker 1: crooks of criminals. Sometimes I see these people, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: listen to me, look at me, and I'm looking at
Speaker 1: I see these stand ups written movies and they write
Speaker 1: they've written the movie and they acted it. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: you've stolen this returning from someone else. Not, I guess not,
Speaker 1: I guess. Oh, there's there's wealth to be shared with
Speaker 1: our guests. I'm so excited she's here. Welcome into your
Speaker 1: ears na only at bargain. Wow, that was an introduction
Speaker 1: for my dream journy. You bring it to you every ball,
Speaker 1: bring it to you every ball. Yes, that is absolutely true.
Speaker 1: I will point out that you are also both triple Crowns.
Speaker 1: You were like, no, it does stand up direct, We're
Speaker 1: not triple We're not triple Crowns. I've seen you both
Speaker 1: do stand up. Also, can we also say four actually vocalistas?
Speaker 1: Come on now that Cultista and Vocalista. You only opened
Speaker 1: for me on my Christmas show? Oh my god, what
Speaker 1: the one? Here are the ones? How was that so fun?
Speaker 1: In a fun time? And then O Crowns shut the
Speaker 1: hell down? And then you're like DC by going on
Speaker 1: aywhere else? Yeah, but I I don't know, Like I
Speaker 1: was just like so happy to provide my audience with Naomi.
Speaker 1: Like I was just like, and they lit up. She
Speaker 1: was doing a service. You weren't providing them anything. I
Speaker 1: was just saying the show, and so she was on it,
Speaker 1: and so therefore I was like helping to provide the sustenance.
Speaker 1: You are a purveyor of that good, of that good goody.
Speaker 1: How are you feeling? I am you know what? Honey? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll be real, I say, I'm doing my best. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no matter what it is, any given day, I'm giving
Speaker 1: you the best that I got Anita Baker style. Honey.
Speaker 1: I can't do anymore. I can't do any more than
Speaker 1: what I'm doing. The best. Naomi's best is very good.
Speaker 1: You have to be so thrilled with the response to
Speaker 1: your special I mean everyone like was like just over
Speaker 1: the moon about it. And everyone already obviously knew. I mean,
Speaker 1: if they didn't know, that's insane. But I also feel
Speaker 1: like in the last couple of years, like it has
Speaker 1: been a little bit of a moment, don't you feel no,
Speaker 1: And isn't that so funny, like when you're like, oh
Speaker 1: we again, we you know how this stuff works. I
Speaker 1: think it was funny when the half hour came out,
Speaker 1: like Okay, Hollywood, when are you calling Hollywood? Like waiting
Speaker 1: for the phone ring this most recent one. Yeah, when
Speaker 1: I was like, Holly was not calling, well maybe they
Speaker 1: get lost my number. And then at one point I
Speaker 1: thought it was Hollywood calling and it was just CVS
Speaker 1: and it was just like really hard, you know. But
Speaker 1: I am so happy that it's out in the world
Speaker 1: and that feeling of you know, when you out here
Speaker 1: just feeling like especially in the pandemic. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like when we were in the house for
Speaker 1: so long. Because what I'm happy about with that is
Speaker 1: that I put that together in two months after not
Speaker 1: being would you guys tape that August five and I
Speaker 1: got the invite may so I June July to hit
Speaker 1: the streets, put it together, try to bamboraze it and
Speaker 1: then put it out there and be like I hope
Speaker 1: they like so I was really so happy. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: to cut you off. I'm not so seamless. You couldn't
Speaker 1: even tell like where they were cutting in and out of,
Speaker 1: if they were at all. It just felt like that
Speaker 1: was just that was that one show. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think maybe one joke from the second show, but it
Speaker 1: was there, you go. I mean like it was just
Speaker 1: so perfect anyway, sorry, no, thank you. I mean, I mean,
Speaker 1: I'll always take the accolades. Obviously interrupt me to give
Speaker 1: me a receiver over here, so what you do it twice?
Speaker 1: But they felt that one was I said, I literally said,
Speaker 1: after we like you better use that seven o clock show.
Speaker 1: The audience was perfection, And then the second show it
Speaker 1: was like, and it's funny because the second shows where
Speaker 1: all the people I knew were coming, Oh, so I
Speaker 1: expect that wouldn't be a little you know, it's late
Speaker 1: show energy. And when I say you've tep, you never
Speaker 1: know the science There is no science to it. There
Speaker 1: really isn't. Like it was funny because having performed a
Speaker 1: bunch in December, like um and after after, like you said,
Speaker 1: not for such a long time, like the audiences are
Speaker 1: definitely there, but but not every audience is like, we're
Speaker 1: so excited audiences where I was a group, you're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: y'all are a B plus you know what I mean? Great? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we love a B plus will because it keeps you hungry,
Speaker 1: keeps you humble, keeps you keeps you humble and hungry.
Speaker 1: I don't think Hollywood calls anymore. That that's not how
Speaker 1: I text. They text, but then also to knock on
Speaker 1: their doorge an, I mean like you have to door knock, kay,
Speaker 1: you to speak for your right. Oh my god, I
Speaker 1: am running, okay for local four or five child as
Speaker 1: a city council person. Oh my god, we need you,
Speaker 1: we need you. I would make calls for you. Thank
Speaker 1: you so much. Oh are you kidding me? I would
Speaker 1: make calls. I would campus the hell out of any neighborhood.
Speaker 1: I have you heard about naomiic paragain? Yeah? I am
Speaker 1: calling on behalf of the naomiic paragain. Okay, Well, um,
Speaker 1: have you seen brought cities she brought on that? You
Speaker 1: would be a good politician? Yes, you really would. Sometimes
Speaker 1: I do think of it. I do, but I don't
Speaker 1: you know. They're all crooks, you know, And so I
Speaker 1: I like, do I really want to be involved in that,
Speaker 1: but I would kind of like to be because I
Speaker 1: would like to be like fun politicians, That's what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's like the thing about politicians. I feel like so
Speaker 1: many of them are so fucking boring. Like I honestly
Speaker 1: think that we could win more seats if we just
Speaker 1: put some stars up there. And I don't mean actors
Speaker 1: turned this, I just mean people with star quality. Personality
Speaker 1: has star quality, and I think that's why everyone was like,
Speaker 1: who the funk is that? And then then like, of
Speaker 1: course her policies are amazing and like everything is great,
Speaker 1: but there is that intangible that like it really doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: And you see it with the presidential race. It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, very few of them have star quality, right right,
Speaker 1: Bernie had it, joke, kind of had. But like but
Speaker 1: for some people, for some people, some people were like,
Speaker 1: oh that Joe Biden, what you know? But you know what,
Speaker 1: that was not star That was comfort, and that was
Speaker 1: comfort that came from Stockholm syndrome. Okay, someone who is
Speaker 1: not known true love and saying, well, that reminds me
Speaker 1: of daddy, even though Daddy wasn't good to me. You
Speaker 1: know what, I'm saying it was like it was like
Speaker 1: it was like Daddy on his deathbed said I'll take
Speaker 1: care of you, and you believe Daddy, but you're still dying.
Speaker 1: Daddy's dying. Daddy died, Obama's gone, Daddy died. I thought
Speaker 1: Daddy was this country, and I know Daddy in this analogy,
Speaker 1: Daddy is Obama and he's you say, and then you
Speaker 1: can you imagine like I have to pivot, can you
Speaker 1: with the POC actually being out in this world repping
Speaker 1: a Caucasian literally be like I have a white friend
Speaker 1: and you should listen to him. I won't do I
Speaker 1: won't do it in a million years. Well, he didn't
Speaker 1: want to do what he wanted to do. He wanted
Speaker 1: it to be Kamala, but then she kept kind of flopping.
Speaker 1: So I feel like I should just be clear and
Speaker 1: say that I did not mean to simp for Mr
Speaker 1: Biden and that I just wanted to bring up examples
Speaker 1: outside of the AOC. Do we reveal M I don't.
Speaker 1: We can reveal if we if we want, Yes, Are
Speaker 1: you ready for this? We received a text from our
Speaker 1: manager saying, L O L would you ever have miss
Speaker 1: Jen Saki on the what I think and it was immediate.
Speaker 1: I was hiking at Griffith last week and I was like, no,
Speaker 1: I don't think we can. I was like, I just
Speaker 1: don't think it would be fun. Beyond that, it's just
Speaker 1: we can't. It's not that we don't support it so
Speaker 1: that we can endorse. Also, like what happened? Did do
Speaker 1: you think her people reached out to your people? So?
Speaker 1: I think our man are maybe we whatever. No, I
Speaker 1: don't think we should cut it out. This is around life,
Speaker 1: this is what we experience. Our managers were on a
Speaker 1: call with the White House Press team, social media team,
Speaker 1: some such we have on right. I guess they were
Speaker 1: talking a lot of like industry folks about like things
Speaker 1: that you know, the administration, Edgy. You don't be fun
Speaker 1: at edgy A racing student. Dad, continue, what did Jenna
Speaker 1: say she was gonna do? She? I don't think so, honey, reporter,
Speaker 1: my grill. I don't think sending every house in America
Speaker 1: COVID test what. I don't want to do that for
Speaker 1: all you know, I don't think so, honey. My guy
Speaker 1: who does my hair, why did you give me this Mr?
Speaker 1: Sloan haircut? Among you like trust, stay up in here like,
Speaker 1: maybe it would be fun if we if we gave
Speaker 1: her a script, maybe we could turn it around for Jen.
Speaker 1: Not that I think it's is it. I don't know,
Speaker 1: do people not like denzaging? I feel like after that
Speaker 1: Margarita um line, do you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 1: What this was? After this was after um I think
Speaker 1: it was after Bill that Better died or something, um
Speaker 1: It's final death or some something like that. And then
Speaker 1: Jen was like on some talk show it might have
Speaker 1: been the view, might have been some other daytime thing
Speaker 1: where she was like, I understand that we're all feeling frustrated,
Speaker 1: but I think we all just got to take a weekend,
Speaker 1: take a kickboxing class, have a margaritaity with your girls,
Speaker 1: and come back because you have a fight to fight,
Speaker 1: just like that and just like that, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: See that is a you know what I think of
Speaker 1: that That is aggressively basic. That's an attack of basicness.
Speaker 1: But you know, but it's this thing where like, outside
Speaker 1: of the Twitter sphere, is that speaking to a segment
Speaker 1: of the population that like we we just don't haven't
Speaker 1: like we're completely out of touch with like a group
Speaker 1: of a huge swath of the people who do hear
Speaker 1: that and go go off girl? Absolutely not, especially the
Speaker 1: kickboxing class part because you can sub in with beverage
Speaker 1: of your choice for the second half and whatever you like.
Speaker 1: She's like, what's relatable kickboxing? Literally, it's just like pressed
Speaker 1: juice and read um wimen lobitches. You know, Like then
Speaker 1: we group whatever I mean. But the fact is, I
Speaker 1: mean we have actually people like um, they tweet in
Speaker 1: and they say we want to Naomi back. That is
Speaker 1: a true honor. You know, it was the funniest woman
Speaker 1: in America. Well, I was going to reach out to
Speaker 1: you guys. I feel like maybe I did too before
Speaker 1: it was coming out, and I was like, hey, can
Speaker 1: I come to the pot. That is like the hardest
Speaker 1: thing for me to do, to reach out to people
Speaker 1: and like ask them if I can like do their thing,
Speaker 1: even though I feel like at this point, I'm don't
Speaker 1: know y'all at least eight years, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: at least I feel like I've known y'all out in
Speaker 1: these streets and I'm like, um, I know you're building
Speaker 1: an empire and actually wondering if you remember that one
Speaker 1: time we were in a green room. I think it
Speaker 1: was an old little fields. Yeah, it's old little field,
Speaker 1: the bigger one, old little field. Um, and we said
Speaker 1: we don't have it tonight, and then you sent me
Speaker 1: that text and I was like, of it wasn't It
Speaker 1: wasn't one of those. First of all, I should say
Speaker 1: that anytime I see, anytime I see someone asked for
Speaker 1: a favor, I go, no, I'm I'm so fucking I'm not. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not like no, open, it's just like, oh,
Speaker 1: I guess I'm just usually I know. It's not that.
Speaker 1: It's that I'm usually distracted enough to be like I
Speaker 1: need to think about this later, like hearing from you
Speaker 1: and like hearing that the special is coming at the
Speaker 1: half hour is coming, and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: of course yeah it was. It's it's I think you
Speaker 1: are going into this with enough goodwill from so many people,
Speaker 1: with so many people that like you are you can
Speaker 1: actually pull that lever and sent because the thing is,
Speaker 1: I think you are like a comedians comedian whereas and like,
Speaker 1: it's just we're so excited. Everyone in the comedy community
Speaker 1: is so excited to see you succeed, and like that's
Speaker 1: for real. Well, and now it's to me I will
Speaker 1: say this right when we say, like, how do you
Speaker 1: feel you know about the response to special Nothing touches
Speaker 1: me more than the people when I reach out to you.
Speaker 1: Sorry comedians watched it. I was like, do you know
Speaker 1: how hard it is to watch another comedian do anything?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like when you're out here
Speaker 1: and like trying and you're just like what tot this
Speaker 1: up between like seeing people sets all the time, or
Speaker 1: where you at emotionally at the time somebody else coming out,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: you actually chose to watch this and you're off time.
Speaker 1: Thank you for this blessing that is, that is the
Speaker 1: truth in the light, and that is definitely what made
Speaker 1: me feel like, Okay, okay, I'm one of I'm one
Speaker 1: of you now. Isn't it funny? Though, Like like because
Speaker 1: I would I would think of you as like someone
Speaker 1: who's like reached such a thing. But it's like you
Speaker 1: still feel and I still feel this way too, Like
Speaker 1: sometimes I even have a hard time even saying I'm
Speaker 1: a comedian still because I feel like there's this thing,
Speaker 1: there's this assumption when you say you're a comedian that
Speaker 1: you're funny it's like, you know, I have a tough
Speaker 1: time saying I'm a singer too, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: It's like it's hard to like claim this thing or
Speaker 1: even actor, like I don't know what it is like
Speaker 1: or where I have to get to make sure that
Speaker 1: I'm okay with saying I am who I am, and
Speaker 1: then it goes away over time, like I guess now
Speaker 1: that I make money doing these certain things, it's like easier.
Speaker 1: But when did you feel comfortable saying you were what
Speaker 1: you were? Well, it's interesting so um among friends and
Speaker 1: people who who were in it easily immediately. I was
Speaker 1: actually on the lift a couple of days ago and
Speaker 1: the guy asked me what I did and I said
Speaker 1: I was a comedian and he was like really where?
Speaker 1: And I go Netflix. The ability to something specifically now
Speaker 1: makes me feel like I could tell a stranger off
Speaker 1: the street, because when you, you know, go to somebody's
Speaker 1: like I'm writer, it's like, okay, we would, I know,
Speaker 1: It's like I don't know what you would. I don't
Speaker 1: know your life, you know. But it's like now it
Speaker 1: feels like there's enough things that I could point to
Speaker 1: at any given time that now it feels like that's okay.
Speaker 1: And it's also for the people, for instance, who have
Speaker 1: no idea what we really do or what it entails.
Speaker 1: You can at least point to this end result because
Speaker 1: it's so My mom will still ask me about projects
Speaker 1: from like three years ago, right because you'll be like, well,
Speaker 1: whatever happened with that? And I'm like nothing, because but
Speaker 1: you're out it. And I was like, uh, just know what,
Speaker 1: Like maybe girl, you can't ask you gotta let go
Speaker 1: and let go. It's so interesting, like being in this
Speaker 1: is so different than what than than being outside it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And to be honest, I've this is this is quickly
Speaker 1: just me saying this. I don't want to. I don't
Speaker 1: I'm not like that pulling focus or anything. I just
Speaker 1: I I I feel like I too, have had this
Speaker 1: crisis recently where I'm like, I don't think I can
Speaker 1: call myself a comedian. I don't think I can call
Speaker 1: myself a writer. I don't think I can call myself
Speaker 1: an actor. At this point, I'm like, I'm truly like,
Speaker 1: what is mine? There's no Yeah, I guess I guess
Speaker 1: there's something different about like the um whatever you put
Speaker 1: on your like taxes, this is whatever you like, however
Speaker 1: you like, identify and relate to like your craft. Yes,
Speaker 1: and I guess I'm not feeling like I guess I
Speaker 1: need to return to like this craft work relationship with it. Well.
Speaker 1: It's interesting because I will say, as much as you're
Speaker 1: both like so wrong and you're all the things that
Speaker 1: you don't think you are, I also really appreciate the
Speaker 1: fact that you're willing to stop and look within and say,
Speaker 1: am I comedian? Because too many people are saying their
Speaker 1: comedians are saying they're comedians out here. Okay, a viral
Speaker 1: tweet does not a comedian make, and I think I am.
Speaker 1: And of course we can all be everything. And it's
Speaker 1: not like what is stand up or whatever, But there
Speaker 1: is something for me about the um I hold in
Speaker 1: high regard the work it takes to stand up in
Speaker 1: front of people and win them over a live performance aspect.
Speaker 1: And if you have not had to do that to me,
Speaker 1: I'm not got a personality. You're an actor, Like, don't
Speaker 1: get me wrong, you have built up your crowd, but
Speaker 1: you know, I had to hit the streets and kind
Speaker 1: of had your head, your soul eroded in a certain okay,
Speaker 1: and then like you know, replenish, it's a different thing.
Speaker 1: I'm also excited to get to the point now with
Speaker 1: I mean hopefully and I'm knocking on wood with the
Speaker 1: numbers going down, and like you know, they're saying that
Speaker 1: Europe is like an quote unquote endgame of the pandemic.
Speaker 1: I'm really excited for people that are young and people
Speaker 1: that were starting out to be able to resume getting
Speaker 1: better and getting out there on stage, because I think
Speaker 1: that one of the big Obviously there's so many tragedies
Speaker 1: and sad elements of what we've been through in the
Speaker 1: past three years now, but I just think of myself
Speaker 1: as a developing talent when I was in my twenties
Speaker 1: and like really grinding and like waiting tables and that
Speaker 1: stage time was so important. And I think about the
Speaker 1: generation of people who just because of bad timing right
Speaker 1: when they were about to get their stuff and like
Speaker 1: the live scene was really thriving and then this happened
Speaker 1: and that had to stop. And not everyone is good at,
Speaker 1: you know, being malleable enough to go to the zoom
Speaker 1: or to go do front facing on Instagram, or or
Speaker 1: to be a self starter and write something and like
Speaker 1: get yourself out there, like it's not necessarily true that
Speaker 1: because you're a great life performer, you're going to be
Speaker 1: good at all that stuff. So just to know that,
Speaker 1: like you know, shows are happening again and to have
Speaker 1: seen it firsthand, like it's just nice because I know
Speaker 1: how invaluable that is and that it creates real performers.
Speaker 1: So it's nice to see the thing about live performance
Speaker 1: is that you can jump into it and then figure
Speaker 1: out what you're good at and it doesn't have to
Speaker 1: be live performance. Does that make sense? Yes? Yes, Well
Speaker 1: you're learning how you connect with people, and especially you're learning.
Speaker 1: At least for me, it was I learned how people
Speaker 1: saw me right when I get up? What is your expectation?
Speaker 1: How do I play with it and play into it?
Speaker 1: And so And it took me only of course, getting
Speaker 1: up in front of so many different people and realizing okay, right,
Speaker 1: and and there is that obviously of course it leads
Speaker 1: to like sick, sick levels of self consciousness and self obsession,
Speaker 1: but also a self awareness that can be very helpful. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's I think when you know, I feel bad for
Speaker 1: people who kind of came up online because I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously it can be great and you out here logan
Speaker 1: polling it with your toiled mansions or whatever. But also
Speaker 1: the way you engage your humanity, it's like kind of
Speaker 1: such an extreme yeah, and it's like but also like
Speaker 1: people love you what I fucking hate and there's no
Speaker 1: It's like it's also you are you are literally calculating
Speaker 1: and negotiating your timing um and you don't actually know
Speaker 1: how to engage with things because it is like there
Speaker 1: is something about being in front of a live audience.
Speaker 1: And you know, I used to say, this is another
Speaker 1: reason why I think it's a shame that you know,
Speaker 1: we've had like the downfall of like UCB Chelsea, because
Speaker 1: what I always thought about, like watching really good improvisers
Speaker 1: in that space was they were able to do something
Speaker 1: really small and get a reaction just because of the
Speaker 1: way that space and it created great actors, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like, and it's like you would only
Speaker 1: understand that from seeing, observing and performing in a space
Speaker 1: like that. So those spaces are really important, and so
Speaker 1: every time one shuts down or like something goes down
Speaker 1: with something, I'm like, gosh, that's like a whole legion
Speaker 1: of performers that would have thrived and been so great
Speaker 1: and like you know, it's it's it's so it's frustrating,
Speaker 1: but like I'm hopeful that like they'll return. It's just
Speaker 1: it's just it's been a long time since, like I
Speaker 1: have thought to myself, oh, I should go I should
Speaker 1: see like I might be doing something in the summer.
Speaker 1: I don't know yet. But the only hesitancy I have
Speaker 1: around it is that I haven't done it in so long,
Speaker 1: and I kind of compartmentalized SNL it's its own animals
Speaker 1: as its own animals with a separate skill set. Then
Speaker 1: what I used to do, which was like go up,
Speaker 1: either do like a weird six minutes set or do
Speaker 1: like something completely. Did you do power points and stuff?
Speaker 1: Would you ever? I did power points every now and
Speaker 1: then I would do Matt and I would do your
Speaker 1: lip things. I would there was I was kind of
Speaker 1: like getting like something close to like a fifteen minute
Speaker 1: sat down. I mean, now none of it is that
Speaker 1: usable in it anymore, I don't think. But I have
Speaker 1: a question. I feel like I I've fully like shed
Speaker 1: that and left that behind in a weird way. As
Speaker 1: you guys have gained an audience and attention, do you
Speaker 1: feel freer in that meaning, Okay, there are people who
Speaker 1: liked me. I can kind of get on stage and
Speaker 1: have fun now, you know, you know, as opposed to
Speaker 1: that feeling of like oh good, what's it gonna be?
Speaker 1: Or do you feel like no, It's like it's a
Speaker 1: different thing. There is a there is like one. So
Speaker 1: I did. The first show I did going back after
Speaker 1: not performing for legit two years is Greta and I
Speaker 1: had a headlining show in New York Comedy Festival, and
Speaker 1: so I did, I did like and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I and I went up and did minutes
Speaker 1: which which not only had I not had I quote
Speaker 1: unquote not done in a while, I had never done.
Speaker 1: And it was it was you loved it. I loved it.
Speaker 1: And my my touring agent was there and he was like,
Speaker 1: why didn't you ever tell me you could do that?
Speaker 1: And I was like, to be honest with you, it's
Speaker 1: somewhere in a somewhere somewhere in between. I didn't know
Speaker 1: I could. And I just don't want to calm myself
Speaker 1: a stand up like unless I really because I respected
Speaker 1: so much and because I respect people like you so much,
Speaker 1: and I respect people like you know Joel and like
Speaker 1: Megan Gaily, you know what I mean, like people that
Speaker 1: are my peers. But but I can see the hard
Speaker 1: yards they put it on that art form, and so honestly,
Speaker 1: like when it comes to myself as a performer, I
Speaker 1: don't know how you feel, but yes, it is nice
Speaker 1: to know that I have people out there that enjoy
Speaker 1: what I do and enjoy my voice, and so therefore
Speaker 1: I don't feel as nervous about putting that into the
Speaker 1: container that is the stand up thing. But and then
Speaker 1: when I went out from my Christmas show and did
Speaker 1: a bunch of dates and had such a nice like
Speaker 1: turn out and everything, it was nice because I didn't
Speaker 1: think they came out just to cheer for me. I
Speaker 1: think they came out because they wanted to see it.
Speaker 1: And then they like you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't think it was this thing of like, oh,
Speaker 1: I can go out there and do anything, because if
Speaker 1: that was the case, I would and just make the
Speaker 1: check and then go. But like this feeds who I am,
Speaker 1: Like I really that's what I want to be as
Speaker 1: a comedian and an actor, etcetera. So it just gives
Speaker 1: you an excuse and it also just kind of it
Speaker 1: lets you kind of I feel free to try things
Speaker 1: and have fun, which is how I unlock personally how
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yeah, yeah, I think that's I I
Speaker 1: kind of really identify with all of that. And I
Speaker 1: don't mean to sound like super umm like like a
Speaker 1: downer on this, but like I feel like it's on
Speaker 1: this note of like compartmentalizing all this stuff with S
Speaker 1: and L. Now I'm kind of like, well, I have
Speaker 1: all of these support systems at my job. We're literally
Speaker 1: like I can like get the costume down and I
Speaker 1: can like get all these things like get get the
Speaker 1: look in the makeup and the writing and the cute
Speaker 1: cards all like lined up so that I can like
Speaker 1: just plug in and do it. Like it takes this
Speaker 1: different self sufficiency obviously to like write your own material,
Speaker 1: be the only person on stage unembellished, like to do
Speaker 1: it yourself, and I kind of don't know, I kind
Speaker 1: of need to work up the nerve to do it
Speaker 1: again because once you do it, once you do it,
Speaker 1: remember it's there. Yeah, yeah, you gotta break the seal. Yeah, definitely, definitely,
Speaker 1: And there is something about like that's for me what
Speaker 1: I always wanted, like my when I came like dreams
Speaker 1: for comedy, all I have ever wanted was the ability
Speaker 1: to like drop in places, right I do saying can
Speaker 1: I do that? And then also to know an audience
Speaker 1: is there for me, so it doesn't all have to
Speaker 1: be perfect. They like me enough to go on a journey,
Speaker 1: you know, and those are I think you're there. She's
Speaker 1: definitely better. We'll see it depends. It depends on where
Speaker 1: it's so funny. I did to show it Largo a
Speaker 1: couple of days ago, and what I tell you it
Speaker 1: was loosen two jokes in a dream and it and
Speaker 1: I was like, and I hadn't been up in like
Speaker 1: six weeks and I just hadn't you know, you always
Speaker 1: just don't have sh in your head like I didn't have.
Speaker 1: And so I was like, well, we'll see how much
Speaker 1: good will have a mask and they say, girl, you
Speaker 1: better dance the moment it was not imagine that audience,
Speaker 1: but I guess it happens, but like it happens, but
Speaker 1: it was just so I was like, oh, and I go, okay,
Speaker 1: I see, I see you want the a game. I see.
Speaker 1: Do you love a gay audience? I actually do. I'm
Speaker 1: not even actually do like don't you die for you?
Speaker 1: I know, but it's funny. It's a specific like gentle
Speaker 1: indoor Gays, I saw, I've seen you at the Duplex
Speaker 1: fucking kill I missed that? Is that is gentle indoor Gays? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: like you know, just just it's a soft boy. We
Speaker 1: both read Babysitters Club, you know what I mean? Like
Speaker 1: that's the ghosts. Oh my god, absolutely a drowned prince.
Speaker 1: You know that funny. I feel like you are. I
Speaker 1: feel like the stand up is going to be something
Speaker 1: that like the return on the investment of that is
Speaker 1: going to come over time and later. Like it's the
Speaker 1: thing that the thing about Netflix I think is that
Speaker 1: like these stand ups is that like they live on
Speaker 1: there forever perpetuity, and like people will just that will
Speaker 1: be like the gateway that will keep the window will
Speaker 1: stay open on that and people will just keep discovering you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, No, it's nice. It's funny. What has
Speaker 1: your so you you you reference something before we started,
Speaker 1: but I know we're going to get to it. But
Speaker 1: what's the media diet been lately? It's so funny because
Speaker 1: I have I've been into a lot of um British
Speaker 1: BBC give me a procedural. But it's a procedural that
Speaker 1: is an international rump. I am traveling from my couch,
Speaker 1: especially just that I'm watching something called Vandervalk and he's
Speaker 1: a cop and he's an Amsterdam and it is gorgeous.
Speaker 1: These bodies in the canal. I said, I'd love to
Speaker 1: They gotta look in the canal because there's always a body.
Speaker 1: If you want to go on an adventures a cop,
Speaker 1: you got to look in the canal. You have to.
Speaker 1: And I was like, this is gorgeous, And then okay,
Speaker 1: I really tried. I had started Real Housewives of Salt
Speaker 1: Lake City. I had never watched a housewave and right
Speaker 1: because it's also only the one season, so I could,
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't have to catch up on like
Speaker 1: nine years. However, I did not like watching it by
Speaker 1: myself because there were so much like conversation and things
Speaker 1: I wanted to say, Like I would like text a
Speaker 1: friend of mine who would watch it and just like
Speaker 1: out of the blue and I'd be like, what is
Speaker 1: she on a pole in her damn house on the weekend?
Speaker 1: And she would be like, what are you talking about?
Speaker 1: And he's not watching it with you. Oh no, he
Speaker 1: won't do such a thing. He won't do such a thing.
Speaker 1: But also any we need separate So do you guys
Speaker 1: really do you guys have separate media diets? We do.
Speaker 1: We overlap on a couple of things, but definitely separate
Speaker 1: media diets. For instance, he's watching a lot of Seinfeld.
Speaker 1: Really he just like, let me go back. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like a very like almost that you know that
Speaker 1: um comfort watching keep it there, like I'm kind kind
Speaker 1: of checked out, and then um, you know British stuff.
Speaker 1: We watched a lot now, but it's funny the stuff
Speaker 1: we watched, Like, I don't I don't really want to
Speaker 1: feel stress in any way, so I just want to
Speaker 1: watch though I'm just like peacemaker, what's reach you're doing with?
Speaker 1: Like I just watched I just watched nonsense and I
Speaker 1: find that very Have you tried the Guilded Age? No,
Speaker 1: maybe that's it doesn't have some person. I always find
Speaker 1: that time period. And also the Downton Abbey's like that
Speaker 1: stuff was really stuffy, and especially that down to sheet.
Speaker 1: I watching forty five minutes to see you touch somebody's hands.
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't want a hand brush, and that's
Speaker 1: a romance the guilded Age, like the American version of
Speaker 1: Downton Abbey, which to me takes a lot out of it.
Speaker 1: It's like, but what I will say is like it's
Speaker 1: it's Julian Fellows so and like I think he got
Speaker 1: away with a lot of Downton abby because it was
Speaker 1: like very British and like therefore you didn't recognize that
Speaker 1: a lot of the writing was like really on the nose.
Speaker 1: But the writing is literally this, Hello, I'm here in
Speaker 1: the room. Now are you? Yes? I am. What should
Speaker 1: we discuss? Well, the matter at hand? Yes, of course,
Speaker 1: the matter at hand? What do you think of it?
Speaker 1: This same but a little different? Well, and this mile disagreement.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you know that I want to do this.
Speaker 1: Go do it and I'll see you there by. Look
Speaker 1: out the window scene it's just like so on the
Speaker 1: notes I would watch that. It's just long like it's
Speaker 1: it's HBoL Max. So it's like our plus the cast
Speaker 1: is great. Carry coon is eating it up, isn't it? Carry?
Speaker 1: Con Christine Baranski Cyndia Nick, first lady of Max. What
Speaker 1: is that about? I mean? Now that governor she's a
Speaker 1: tech of ail. Absolutely. She was like I tried, I
Speaker 1: tried to political candidate, candidate, that's how that's that my
Speaker 1: first question mark about And just like that, I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but we wouldn't have this Cynthia with a governor, and
Speaker 1: so therefore do we need it? We have gotten record
Speaker 1: to say that we the finale righted so many wrongs.
Speaker 1: Did it really didn't right and actually literally right the wrong.
Speaker 1: We just enjoyed the finale, made the should be, made
Speaker 1: the whole season worth it interesting. Could not. I watched
Speaker 1: the first three episodes that I watched, Episode I Believe seven,
Speaker 1: I was living. I was living from the beginning, and
Speaker 1: I just felt like I could not. I could never
Speaker 1: get right with it. And I just felt like, if
Speaker 1: there's one thing I felt is there, like honey, time
Speaker 1: is short, I could get I could get to Cocode
Speaker 1: any day. I can't be wasting a town, and just
Speaker 1: like that, right right, and then I got I was
Speaker 1: glad when Charlotte's puffiness went down the first couple episodes,
Speaker 1: I go, what did they do to? I kind of
Speaker 1: just wish that these people who decided to book and
Speaker 1: then decided to get work right before, we'll just think
Speaker 1: about settle like you know, you know your schedule, like
Speaker 1: like get it three months before, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: like not two weeks before. I know. Like sometimes it's
Speaker 1: just I have nothing against people doing anything they want,
Speaker 1: do whatever you want. It's just time it out right
Speaker 1: right right right right. Because she literally transformed between episodes,
Speaker 1: hadn't settled, Yeah, And I didn't realize. I was like
Speaker 1: worried because it made me very nerve because I think
Speaker 1: you would have that level of cash and fame as
Speaker 1: somebody would still do you wrong like that. I was like,
Speaker 1: my god, no one's safe, there's no immunity. For a minute,
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I guess it's just the process.
Speaker 1: I learned. That's just the process. Wealth does not inoculate
Speaker 1: you from shocking like this. Would you ever get anything done?
Speaker 1: I want to do? Um? I want to I want
Speaker 1: to kind of melt this off and give me an
Speaker 1: actual jaw line. You're talking about your chin, the chin neck,
Speaker 1: and like you see right here, the jaw here. Kind
Speaker 1: of kind of get that down. That's that's all. I
Speaker 1: think that as as men were interested in this area
Speaker 1: because what's so desirable is that really is that strong? Um?
Speaker 1: And so that I think is something that as we
Speaker 1: get into our thirties, like we look at more and more.
Speaker 1: And I also I look at my parents and sometimes
Speaker 1: I see that they have a little bit of that.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna but I'm just gonna say, like, as
Speaker 1: you age, like and you see and you see people
Speaker 1: in your family get that, you think, oh, I might
Speaker 1: get that, And that's a natural part of the human
Speaker 1: aging process. But because you're in the distorted, dystopian Hollywood
Speaker 1: entertainment industry, you think you're aware of that type of
Speaker 1: thing that I definitely wouldn't be right had I been
Speaker 1: like a straight investment banker or whatever. It's funny because
Speaker 1: I saw you op posted a picture on Instagram. I
Speaker 1: don't know a couple of weeks ago that I texted you,
Speaker 1: are the smoke and mirrors working that day? Let me know,
Speaker 1: always working? But it was it was, you know, you
Speaker 1: had a picture of your nose and your nose is busted.
Speaker 1: And I remember texting you being like, are you okay?
Speaker 1: And they're like, oh, that was in the past. But
Speaker 1: my first thought, I said, to come out he didn't
Speaker 1: get a damn nose job, but not technically, but what
Speaker 1: you did. I had ad I was born with an
Speaker 1: inch long cyst and these so I don't know if
Speaker 1: you if you look at old pictures of me, I
Speaker 1: had like a red certainly like a we can say,
Speaker 1: a whole like a dimple in the middle of my nose,
Speaker 1: and it was getting to the point where it would
Speaker 1: get like infected, and so I had to say it
Speaker 1: wasn't even an elective. It wasn't really elective. No, I
Speaker 1: medically needed it. But because like insurance companies are like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's a rhino plasty, that must be an elective surgery,
Speaker 1: they did not cover it. So I paid coins what
Speaker 1: to get a rhino septo and get this inch long
Speaker 1: cyst in my nose that I was born with removed
Speaker 1: best thing I ever did, and now it's like not
Speaker 1: an issue. But I did. I can say I got
Speaker 1: work done right, right, right right, and I'm very happy
Speaker 1: that I did. And honestly, like I told him, I
Speaker 1: was like, you know, I really don't want to change
Speaker 1: the way I look. And I was like, I really
Speaker 1: like the Grescian shape of my nose, like I like it.
Speaker 1: I don't want to look different. And they were like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, the thing is like, when you have a
Speaker 1: surgery like this, you will look a little different. I
Speaker 1: was like, okay, we'll make me look better. Okay. Then
Speaker 1: I wanted to be Thunder up top and like this
Speaker 1: um but you know, it's just it is what it is.
Speaker 1: But I know guys, guys that are a little bit
Speaker 1: older than us, Like I know, we worked on a
Speaker 1: movie with someone who's thirty eight and he is incredible
Speaker 1: skin and I asked him, like, what do you do
Speaker 1: And He's like, when I was thirty one, I started
Speaker 1: getting botox preventatively. So that's something that's on My co
Speaker 1: host Megan Gaily from the I Love a Lifetime podcast,
Speaker 1: which which is so fun We didn't mentioned a couple
Speaker 1: of therapy and I but also Matt. It was so
Speaker 1: funny though because Matt like doesn't like scary and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: Lifetime it's thrillers only, honey. And when this one comes
Speaker 1: on and it's like, I was terrified. I was watching
Speaker 1: my laptop. What was what was it called Psychogranny? I
Speaker 1: watched the movie called Psychogranny about Lifetime is horror now
Speaker 1: it's it's thriller, thriller, chiller, thriller Chiller tell that okay,
Speaker 1: but and it was. But she's been doing botox for forever,
Speaker 1: and I'm I thinks I'm too much of a pessimist,
Speaker 1: Like I'm always just afraid of something going wrong. I know,
Speaker 1: I get it, you know, but it's not that I
Speaker 1: don't think like, yeah, I'm just always like, oh lord,
Speaker 1: what do they leave something in me? And next think
Speaker 1: when you when you think about it not as not
Speaker 1: as botox, but as botulism toxin scary. I mean it's
Speaker 1: like then it's like, oh God, that sounds like it
Speaker 1: could go wrong. And also you want the person that's
Speaker 1: doing it to be good. But you can find those
Speaker 1: person that those people you just have to pay for
Speaker 1: it and look for it and take time to like
Speaker 1: figure out wather gay from. But I guess what you're
Speaker 1: saying is that with the Kristen Davis of it all,
Speaker 1: it's like it's hard to you're you're you're there's no
Speaker 1: escaping rough work. Some rough yeah, like some rough times.
Speaker 1: Now because you said you got that done. You know
Speaker 1: your schedule, you planned it, your timing shot the pilot
Speaker 1: of of I Love That for you last March, and
Speaker 1: it was such a pain in the ask putting makeup
Speaker 1: on my nose, and it was such a thing, like
Speaker 1: I was taking so long on the chair because as
Speaker 1: a result of it, my nose was irritated. It was painful,
Speaker 1: and so I was like, I'm not putting myself through
Speaker 1: this or a makeup department through this. Again. I was
Speaker 1: pretty confident to get picked up. So I was like,
Speaker 1: let's fucking this. So I got get this the doctor
Speaker 1: who put Mary Joe but A Fuko's face back together
Speaker 1: after the Long Island Lolita Amy Fisher herself shot her
Speaker 1: in the face. I got him to put my nose
Speaker 1: back on. How did you Okay? I did not even
Speaker 1: think he'd be a veil around but like you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like you'd be like, okay, I can
Speaker 1: see you in four years, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: That kind of guys in Beverly Hills. And I was like,
Speaker 1: I was like, let's go. And I got an amazing
Speaker 1: germansologist that recommended him to me. Went did it? It
Speaker 1: was done well? But after the surgery he did tell
Speaker 1: me he's like, it was a really hard surgery. He
Speaker 1: was like, he was like, I'm really happy you came
Speaker 1: to me. And I was like, okay, but honestly, like
Speaker 1: after some like scar treatments, like it looks yeah good yeah,
Speaker 1: and I also don't look different. Right. You feel lucky.
Speaker 1: I feel so lucky, but also you deserve improved and
Speaker 1: also not for nothing, but they did a Scepto plastic two,
Speaker 1: so my breathing looks better. Helped breathing because everyone's got
Speaker 1: that little deviation. Of course, what would you get done?
Speaker 1: Have you had anything done? I haven't had anything done.
Speaker 1: I do. It's son you were talking about like draw
Speaker 1: like I'm noticing, and it's funny that dang half out everybody. Also,
Speaker 1: I had to look at like four edits, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean studying yourself and I said, is it's too
Speaker 1: I mean, we just watched ourselves in a thing and
Speaker 1: it's we had were in crisis. We're in crisis. And
Speaker 1: then meanwhile it's like I'm hearing you say this, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, you looked fucking stunned. And I didn't know,
Speaker 1: you know, I was terrible first of all, to you
Speaker 1: a straight white man. Did my makeup? No? And I
Speaker 1: do that, you know what I mean? Some of the
Speaker 1: stuff I'm like, is this non? Where is he this
Speaker 1: was in New York and a white woman did my hair.
Speaker 1: And when I say, what, this is gonna live online
Speaker 1: forever in eighty countries, and you got these occasions touch
Speaker 1: in my face. Yeah, but you looked great. You looked
Speaker 1: really good. It worked itself out. But part of what
Speaker 1: we didn't you some of that second set is because
Speaker 1: between the taping and there's like no time because I
Speaker 1: was like last on the first show, first on the
Speaker 1: second show, how many how many of you guys because
Speaker 1: they know that they got and Dusty Slay three oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and so so between there's like not much time. Certainly
Speaker 1: I worked up a sweat, you know, I like to
Speaker 1: be very active, and so then he just sort of
Speaker 1: like shelacked on this much lighter stuff and so like
Speaker 1: whenever the camera's like punching in washed the fun out.
Speaker 1: I was looking like yeah I was. It was just
Speaker 1: like and also like cool, it wasn't even warm. I
Speaker 1: will definitely show you photo. I will show you some
Speaker 1: of the original promo pictures. Right, I go, can you
Speaker 1: please make me look my skin colors? And then I'd
Speaker 1: like send them pictures of my actual I was like,
Speaker 1: here's where I was looking good and I was like,
Speaker 1: can you match that? Um, and so it was like, oh,
Speaker 1: good lord. But I just remember just you know, when
Speaker 1: you look at yourself and she's like okay, and you
Speaker 1: have to just freaking let go nothing I can know
Speaker 1: about what somebody's gonna think. And we were like, no
Speaker 1: one is thinking about those little things as much as
Speaker 1: you are. So that's another psychological to go over, especially
Speaker 1: when you're tall and when you're on camera looking down
Speaker 1: at people a lot, like when you look down and
Speaker 1: like this happens, like for example, in the show I'm
Speaker 1: shooting now, like I'm taller than all these ladies, so
Speaker 1: I'm looking down at them like this, and it's just
Speaker 1: I know, the chin be chinning. But also like I
Speaker 1: was not somebody you know, I will do whatever to
Speaker 1: get the laugh. I'm not necessarily trying to look cute
Speaker 1: when I'm on stage, right, so I will into something.
Speaker 1: But then when you see it kind of bigger, it's like, babe, girl,
Speaker 1: you damn. But like in the moments, like of course,
Speaker 1: like that was fun for me to do, and then
Speaker 1: it was just funny when they were like, okay, you
Speaker 1: have some promotional photos. I was like, regectgect reject in
Speaker 1: the moment it works, Yeah, you just take a step.
Speaker 1: It's upset. That's another thing with live performances, like you
Speaker 1: figure out your little little tricks that work, like like
Speaker 1: you're a little kind of shifts and moments that work,
Speaker 1: like you know, you're little things, and then you look
Speaker 1: at them on camera and you're like, oh, and you
Speaker 1: got my trick and trick is ugly and you got
Speaker 1: You got to learn to not hate the skills photographer.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not it's not their fault. It's God's faults.
Speaker 1: Are they you know, they happen to press the shutter
Speaker 1: at the at the weird at the wrong time. Look,
Speaker 1: I'm a mover. It's hard for them the right and
Speaker 1: so a lot of you know, when you have a
Speaker 1: lot of comics who do kind of just stand in place,
Speaker 1: it's really easy to just get them being killed. Whereas Henny,
Speaker 1: I'm using the space, you're filling the negative space. And yes,
Speaker 1: thank you connectic, connectic, kinesthetic and the suit. We have
Speaker 1: to shout out the Susan Alexandra bag Oh absolutely shout
Speaker 1: out Sydney Washington for making that connection for me, like
Speaker 1: two days before the tacause I'm like, I love her bag.
Speaker 1: And then she was like, Susan Alexandra, here's her here's
Speaker 1: her number. And I was like, oh my gosh, she
Speaker 1: gave me back. And I lived, you know, because I
Speaker 1: love to bring my bag on stage because I don't
Speaker 1: trust people, but I knew it to be special and
Speaker 1: I didn't want to do it to start and and
Speaker 1: I couldn't figure out how to start to set. And
Speaker 1: then I was just like, but every time I bring
Speaker 1: the bag, it just kind of loosens up the room. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I was like solid bit to start out on,
Speaker 1: and we have those little things it's like, and they're tried,
Speaker 1: and I never I never fault uh someone who have
Speaker 1: seen do this similarly structured set multiple times. I never
Speaker 1: fought them for doing the same ten poles like start, midpoint, finish,
Speaker 1: like if they're all like consistent, I'm like, yes, that
Speaker 1: works on a structural level. But I wasn't sure because right,
Speaker 1: of course you could do it when like we're performing
Speaker 1: in some Drinkie Balls theater. But I was like, this
Speaker 1: is a taping. You know, my bag is actually safe somewhere.
Speaker 1: But I was like, well, who really knows. We're in
Speaker 1: times Square. I was like, I just gonna have it,
Speaker 1: and I didn't have my phone in there. I had
Speaker 1: my room key and I had oh my god, you
Speaker 1: get Yeah, of course you guys give up your apartment
Speaker 1: in New York, right that was your mom's place. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: she's still there. Yeah, but we were like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's for the taping and everything. We were at the
Speaker 1: hotel they were taping up because we had to do
Speaker 1: all this, you know, running back and forth. Did Mom
Speaker 1: come to one of the shows and and Mama, she
Speaker 1: always his notes and after the seven though, she came
Speaker 1: to this early show and she texted me, she goes, Naomi,
Speaker 1: I haven't laughed so hard? That was that was great? No, no,
Speaker 1: And she usually has one notes and are do you
Speaker 1: get them? Are you kind of like, Mom, man, we
Speaker 1: don't need this. We don't need those notes, do you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? It's already been done, the show's been.
Speaker 1: I don't need to telling me has should warn something else?
Speaker 1: The shows been that kind of stuff, And so it's
Speaker 1: like mom notes about this joke, but even that is
Speaker 1: a mom version. She was like, do you have to
Speaker 1: say that? You know? Parental notes and my experience as
Speaker 1: well I've always been about my appearance and not even
Speaker 1: my appearance or my dad will always be like on
Speaker 1: Sundays will be like, wow, I loved how you played
Speaker 1: a news reporter. I loved how you looked like a
Speaker 1: normal person. And I'm like, Okay, I understand what you're saying,
Speaker 1: like that it wasn't like a total fucking faggot on
Speaker 1: TV and you're happy about that, and I and you
Speaker 1: know what, like that's what the that's what the parental
Speaker 1: feedback usually ends up being for me. Parental feeds. I
Speaker 1: have to say, I'm pretty lucky with this. My parents
Speaker 1: kind of my parents kind of getting and I think
Speaker 1: I think that they they've kind of, like, um, seen
Speaker 1: me do a lot on like they were coming to
Speaker 1: like my sketch comedy shows in college where it was
Speaker 1: like all the humor was basically sex, so you know
Speaker 1: what I mean like that, so they've kind of seen
Speaker 1: the whole thing. I think that now that it's become
Speaker 1: sort of more personality driven, my dad says things like
Speaker 1: it's great to be a fly on the wall, like
Speaker 1: my dad. My dad really likes the episodes of this
Speaker 1: podcast where it's like he loves the study episodes because
Speaker 1: it's just like he and sometimes I have to remind
Speaker 1: myself that he's listening to It was like, and I
Speaker 1: don't I never do why, like when it's just here
Speaker 1: because we pop off or whatever. But I think there
Speaker 1: is something about um parents getting to genuinely actually get
Speaker 1: to know their kids and their work because I'm not
Speaker 1: going to go home and with my mom and dad
Speaker 1: be like, well, it's been tough with me bottoming recently,
Speaker 1: because you know what I mean. Whereas where I'm with him,
Speaker 1: it's kind of just like, you know, I say these
Speaker 1: things because that's how I feel and it is part
Speaker 1: of my comedy, part of my experience. But um, I
Speaker 1: would I don't think at this point anything would surprise them,
Speaker 1: and I don't think they feel like it's not like
Speaker 1: it maybe was in the beginning where they're like maybe
Speaker 1: this or maybe that. Like I think they know that
Speaker 1: I know what's up right? Does mom listen to your podcast? No?
Speaker 1: But Uncle Fred does, and Uncle Brand will be commenting.
Speaker 1: I was like, you're very active on Instagram Uncle for you,
Speaker 1: I don't, I'm not ready, but it is. And then
Speaker 1: I'll be talking to a pout and then I'm like
Speaker 1: oh my god, uncle Fred, I'll remember because and but
Speaker 1: it's just funny because he's never said anything to me
Speaker 1: like it's in common on stuff. He's never like written me,
Speaker 1: you know, a message, or been like yah, man, I'm
Speaker 1: worried he just but he doesn't. But I have to
Speaker 1: remember that. But it's just so funny. I'm pretty glad
Speaker 1: that she doesn't. She hasn't really done a deep dive
Speaker 1: on podcasts as a concept. I will not encourage it.
Speaker 1: I will not tell her how. I just said, you
Speaker 1: know what, just know they happen. She did listen to Lifetime.
Speaker 1: She was like, oh, I like the beginning, which means
Speaker 1: she only heard the intro right, yes, yes, she was
Speaker 1: like this sounds fun um And so I was like, great,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not I'm not gonna let It took
Speaker 1: me so long just to let her come see me perform.
Speaker 1: We can't. It's like can you have? Can you have anything?
Speaker 1: That's the thing. You've got to draw these lines, you know,
Speaker 1: the public, the private or not even just private. As
Speaker 1: much as you know you and your parents, Matt y'all
Speaker 1: are like hanging out golfing, loving each other in Disney World.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, and there's like an ease there,
Speaker 1: whereas I think I am still very much controlling the
Speaker 1: narrative and yeah, recalibrating the distance and not not in
Speaker 1: not in like a a dysfunctional way. I'm sorry, but
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like that's that's why I
Speaker 1: feel like I to be honest, I feel like I
Speaker 1: do that a lot um and it's okay. And I
Speaker 1: think my parents understand that, and it's it's fine because
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of pain in the journey towards me,
Speaker 1: like doing what I do right right, so it should
Speaker 1: a lot of it is sacred to me. And also
Speaker 1: I feel like now they understand it because it's so
Speaker 1: objective your success. Yes, you know what I mean, like it,
Speaker 1: Whereas like I think it was kind of a morphous
Speaker 1: to them before because they didn't understand what like where
Speaker 1: I would end up, right, yeah, and now that it's
Speaker 1: like and they didn't even really know what Saturday Night
Speaker 1: Live was, right but then it but then it ended
Speaker 1: up being like a thing like sitting in like you know,
Speaker 1: an uber and having your driver be like what have
Speaker 1: you what have you done? And you can say like Netflix,
Speaker 1: and like it took like other people to tell my
Speaker 1: parents so well, that came in to my mom too.
Speaker 1: I remember when I first started writing on Broad City
Speaker 1: and again and even Common Central, like Mama, she's like,
Speaker 1: she has a whip series. And then she was at
Speaker 1: work and there was a young a young lawyer in
Speaker 1: the in the elevator and like one of my mom's
Speaker 1: friends is like, you know house Naomi. She's like, oh,
Speaker 1: she's good, she's on she's working on this thing called
Speaker 1: broad City. And then the lawyer young ladies like and
Speaker 1: then my mom came home and was like, what is
Speaker 1: this broad say, yeah, it's like it's been two years,
Speaker 1: but it's true. It's like you have to hear from
Speaker 1: other people to kind of understand where it stands. Well,
Speaker 1: it's so fascinating now too, because we are so far
Speaker 1: away from the monoculture. Then unless it's like yellow Stone,
Speaker 1: which my parents do watch, not everyone knows it, like
Speaker 1: I wrote for the other two, which is like a
Speaker 1: huge show within the gay community with the comedy community.
Speaker 1: But then and No Shade. But like you talk to
Speaker 1: people who are like my parents and they don't know
Speaker 1: what the funk that is like, but it means everything
Speaker 1: to people that live in New York in l A
Speaker 1: and like huge and like, oh my god, love that show. Whatever.
Speaker 1: People don't know what that is, people don't know what
Speaker 1: Q force it? Right, I know, I love it. Oh
Speaker 1: while I have you here? Were you also singing giving
Speaker 1: me the falsetto of the Little Boy from Geno? Thank you?
Speaker 1: I thought, so, I said, that's Matt's falsetto. And then
Speaker 1: it's such a fun line where he goes, can I
Speaker 1: kill him? He's a threat to me? And so I
Speaker 1: just like it was you. You know when people tell
Speaker 1: me that they liked you for us, I was so
Speaker 1: very I wasn't. I wasn't. Like a friend's birthday party
Speaker 1: recently in a couple of days came over and they
Speaker 1: were like, I just and on set this the second
Speaker 1: idea came over and she was like I had just
Speaker 1: found out something. And then she's like your twink And
Speaker 1: I was like I am and I came out of
Speaker 1: her mouth and I was like, she's like, you're a twink.
Speaker 1: I thought I heard that your twink? Twink? I was like,
Speaker 1: I was like and I was like not for like
Speaker 1: nine years like this, but like it's it's interesting because
Speaker 1: like my parents only know what the should I work
Speaker 1: on is is because I tell them because I'm not
Speaker 1: working on and even the network shows like Our, people
Speaker 1: don't know that, you know what. I looks so excited
Speaker 1: to see succeed is like that is so great. And
Speaker 1: also to see Janelle on it, and like that feels
Speaker 1: she's so funny. It feels just like our and I
Speaker 1: don't know Quinta, but like I do know Janelle a
Speaker 1: little bit, like but I know that people know them
Speaker 1: around and to see that cross over and to see
Speaker 1: her be like the star of that show and like
Speaker 1: it be a mainstream success and people really like it,
Speaker 1: Like that's very rare. Yes, it's a great premise for
Speaker 1: a comedy to where it's like and it feels very
Speaker 1: oft the time, where it's like, oh, these teachers are
Speaker 1: like underresourced and like they're gonna make it work themselves.
Speaker 1: Like that's the thing is. It's like you you think,
Speaker 1: like situation comedy in an elementary school or whatever it
Speaker 1: is like in the public school is going to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: we've seen it, but then there is that very specific
Speaker 1: angle of the underfunded, underresourced thing and it's like makes
Speaker 1: it timely without feeling beating you over the heaven and
Speaker 1: I'm just excited to to you because there is success
Speaker 1: in the industry in terms of, yes, I got something made,
Speaker 1: and then there's real success in terms of, like I
Speaker 1: got a network thing. I made it people either like
Speaker 1: someone recognized the talent or like the goods. That's one
Speaker 1: success I made. The thing that's another success people know
Speaker 1: it exists is the third success. You know, like they're
Speaker 1: the different ways and you have to sometimes just you
Speaker 1: know exactly. The Quintin thing is so cool because, um,
Speaker 1: I think that the right up in Vulture was that,
Speaker 1: like I think they did a profile on her where
Speaker 1: they were like she like kind of like for her
Speaker 1: to like make a network comedy sort of like pop
Speaker 1: off this way is like yeah, pretty great, Yeah, especially
Speaker 1: because not often do they succeed because there's so many
Speaker 1: I mean, think about how hard it is. Well, she
Speaker 1: and I we're developing both ABC at the same time,
Speaker 1: and so yeah, that this particularly, I think that time
Speaker 1: in that cycle where it was like and also to
Speaker 1: a kind of overlapped in the pandemic started because first
Speaker 1: like we like you, but now we want you to
Speaker 1: backup script. Okay, now it's like a boom and all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, and so you know, just to
Speaker 1: get through all of that and also for nobody over
Speaker 1: there to give up on her, you know, to be like,
Speaker 1: let's make this, let's do this. Do you know? That's like,
Speaker 1: I mean, blessings all around, but you gotta you gotta
Speaker 1: run your own room soon. And it's it's talent you
Speaker 1: don't know in the room though Okay I didn't. Okay, see,
Speaker 1: I just assumed for whatever reason, just because you've been
Speaker 1: in you've you've done the job so well for so
Speaker 1: long that like maybe you would want to level up
Speaker 1: and do it. But if you just want to be talent,
Speaker 1: god bless. Like I'd love to write it, but you
Speaker 1: know what it is actually when I see what performer
Speaker 1: showrunners have done, you know, working on difficult people for instance,
Speaker 1: obviously Broad City and like and again that's a little
Speaker 1: different because LEAs they right and then shoot, but sometimes
Speaker 1: that overlaps and it's like, honestly, do not care what
Speaker 1: color tie the extra is wearing, right, but the showrunner
Speaker 1: needs to having a page and everyone the very least
Speaker 1: someone's gonna ask for it. I don't even like when
Speaker 1: people behind me and mine or like let alone if
Speaker 1: a bunch of people are waiting for my opinion on
Speaker 1: something for it to begin. It's especially when you are
Speaker 1: like I see Vanessa do it like she's the star
Speaker 1: of the show. She like created the show, she like
Speaker 1: is an EP on the show. She does all these
Speaker 1: things and like the first episode, and it's just it's
Speaker 1: so much work and the only like I think about this,
Speaker 1: Like I think about, like what would it be like,
Speaker 1: you know, for us to have our own show, And
Speaker 1: it's like you really have to fall in love with
Speaker 1: the idea because you have it has to be your life.
Speaker 1: Like that's the thing is. It's like when we talk
Speaker 1: about like making a show or like what I think,
Speaker 1: I think about what I want that to be, It's
Speaker 1: like I have to really wait to make sure that
Speaker 1: it's the right thing, saying the right thing with the
Speaker 1: right people in the right way, because you have to
Speaker 1: be a hundred percent on board because it is a
Speaker 1: hud of your energy. It is so hard to be
Speaker 1: that person, I mean eighty with shrill and still has
Speaker 1: such a sunny disposition. I know, and I cry if
Speaker 1: I think too much about it. How is that possible?
Speaker 1: Honestly superhuman. Okay, the fact that you can already like
Speaker 1: draw that boundary within yourself is huge and like will
Speaker 1: mean good things. And then if you just want to
Speaker 1: be talent for now, then yes, oh my god, please
Speaker 1: just like well, I feel like I feel like we're
Speaker 1: like encouraged to want to be but we're also okay
Speaker 1: because I I secretly want that too, I think, And
Speaker 1: it's been I haven't really been able to say that,
Speaker 1: don't be talent. I'm obsessed with being talented. Honestly, thank you,
Speaker 1: because here's the thing. And also I'm happy to write.
Speaker 1: But also, but here's the other thing I will say.
Speaker 1: And again, I hope I'm not sound like I'm preaching
Speaker 1: on you. No, no, no, no, no. I think the
Speaker 1: thing is we're in a business, you know where we
Speaker 1: are creative and there is a very big difference between
Speaker 1: a creative voice and a managerial voice, knowing how to delegate,
Speaker 1: know on how to communicate you. And I would say
Speaker 1: you right now if I'm your Boston probably crowned in
Speaker 1: the bathroom, and we just don't need it. We need
Speaker 1: someone professional, we need someone focused, We need someone not
Speaker 1: emotionally attached to this and you know what you know,
Speaker 1: because like if I'm doing something and then you're like
Speaker 1: it's gonna work, I'm like this is who. Yeah, I've
Speaker 1: almost I've almost cried like several times over nothing, and
Speaker 1: I'm like and I'm number six, but like I walk
Speaker 1: away from a take and I'm like, I hope we
Speaker 1: got it, and the tears come to my eyes and
Speaker 1: I'm like, thank god, I'm not more invested in something
Speaker 1: because I would be a wreck. Like you have to
Speaker 1: like actually like look at yourself and be like maybe
Speaker 1: like right now where I'm at, like it is better
Speaker 1: for me to just soak up and sponge and like learn,
Speaker 1: like you know, it's it's it's all a process, you know.
Speaker 1: Not everyone is fucking and who knows if she even
Speaker 1: really was ready Like Lena Dunn, I'm ready to run
Speaker 1: and create her show and start at two or three,
Speaker 1: like you know what I mean, Like you think because
Speaker 1: these things are done, that they're possible, that they are
Speaker 1: the standards right, and they're not. They're not. They're not.
Speaker 1: There's something I love about I think part what I
Speaker 1: love about, like, for instance, being on a set is
Speaker 1: the feeling of being a cog and wheel, not in
Speaker 1: a bad way. But there's something when you are standing
Speaker 1: on a set and you look out and it's like
Speaker 1: sixty up, hand, make it happen. Lift and ship, got
Speaker 1: the cargo shorts full of stuff and all the pole
Speaker 1: you realize my job is to stand here and make
Speaker 1: it easy for you. Yes, And that is such in
Speaker 1: a way, the simplicity of that is very sounding to me. Yes,
Speaker 1: I like that way more than like, you know, if
Speaker 1: everyone comes, he's like, what do you think, what do
Speaker 1: you feel? What do you want? What do you you know?
Speaker 1: Then you get you start to fatigue, and also you
Speaker 1: just believe your own hyping. You start to think you
Speaker 1: are the center of the universe. You can and that
Speaker 1: that's so funny because like at the end of the
Speaker 1: day of the other day, like we were leaving the
Speaker 1: end of the day and like a sound guy came
Speaker 1: over and he was like, hey, thanks for today, and
Speaker 1: I was like, thank you. And it's like because we
Speaker 1: both did it, you know what I mean, Like just
Speaker 1: because you're appearing on camera, you literally you have to
Speaker 1: all work together and it is a team. And that's why,
Speaker 1: like you know, you never That's why I like that.
Speaker 1: Like the Ayazi stuff, is like you have to support
Speaker 1: with all your because it just doesn't happen without every
Speaker 1: single person and you never understand that more with them
Speaker 1: when you're on a set and like that community is
Speaker 1: being built and it's just it's really I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's been really learning experience and great and
Speaker 1: it's just so hard to do certain big tasks at
Speaker 1: the job like that, and I have more than one hat. Yes, definitely, definitely.
Speaker 1: I was watching um, don't ask why, a bunch of
Speaker 1: Julia Roberts interviews from the last three years. No, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I have to ask what because I'm I think I'm
Speaker 1: like newly, I'm like, I'm obsessed with her once again
Speaker 1: in my life. You read that read that piece about
Speaker 1: that that piece again in Vulture about um what it
Speaker 1: was about how um she really wanted to lean into
Speaker 1: being this unlikable protagonist and my best friend's wedding she
Speaker 1: wanted to sort of like Sully. Her image is this
Speaker 1: like good girl rom Colm Lyad only nineties but anyway,
Speaker 1: and then it just like let me down down this
Speaker 1: path of just watching a bunch of videos and like,
Speaker 1: you know this is so I know this is gonna
Speaker 1: sound so stupid, but it's stuck with me where she
Speaker 1: um They asked her what's like an essential you need
Speaker 1: on set? Like what's the thing that you need on set?
Speaker 1: And like they're probably asking her like, oh, fucking Jade,
Speaker 1: like they want to answer out of her like a
Speaker 1: Jade ruler or something, you know, like a snack. But
Speaker 1: then she just goes no, honestly, like camaraderie, like this
Speaker 1: sense that like we're all doing this together. And I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: she's been doing this for so long. That's that's probably
Speaker 1: she's lead with For her. She literally married a cameraman.
Speaker 1: It's so hot and they're always the hottest people on
Speaker 1: the set. Yeah, He's like, what crew guys are hot?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I know they can always get And
Speaker 1: I said, I was like a man in a cargo
Speaker 1: shirt with a little bit of a stubble Kelston, I'm
Speaker 1: really into it. The lesbian cargo short energy on on
Speaker 1: a set is so so hot to me. I will
Speaker 1: anyone in a cargo short, if they're on a movie
Speaker 1: set or films a TV set, I will explore the
Speaker 1: idea of sex with Internally it's going down, going down inside, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's going down inside, going down inside. That's what it is.
Speaker 1: That's what sex is, actually sex, it's going down inside,
Speaker 1: going down inside. That's a real culture. It's really culture
Speaker 1: number seventy. That's what sex is. Actually it's going down inside. Well,
Speaker 1: I think it's time. I think it might be the
Speaker 1: time for I don't think so, honey, Which is an
Speaker 1: iconic segment i'd say in podcast history, and only very
Speaker 1: few podcasts have really had a segment that has really
Speaker 1: been so impactful in the culture that people have written
Speaker 1: articles about it, you know, like people talk about people
Speaker 1: talk and it's our want of men to section where
Speaker 1: we run against something in pop culture and we go
Speaker 1: absolutely off on it until it's dragged in the mud
Speaker 1: and doesn't show itself in pop culture public again again, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm ready you this Matt Rogers has something? Yeah, is
Speaker 1: Matt Rodgers. I don't think so many time starts now,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Harlie Charlie Pooth given me a boner.
Speaker 1: How come you're so hot, Charlie Pooth? It looks like
Speaker 1: you sort of barely try and I in the best
Speaker 1: way you are that like naturally hot little boy, and
Speaker 1: I feel like you're so talented and when you flow
Speaker 1: up on Instagram a little super cut of you writing
Speaker 1: a hits fucking song when it's like today, I wanted
Speaker 1: to write a song about this, and he's like, dude, dodd, dude,
Speaker 1: and I figured maybe it could be And he's just
Speaker 1: putting it together and he like, well, we're like a
Speaker 1: little tank top or like just be fully shirtless, like
Speaker 1: he's a little tease boy. And I'm like, why are
Speaker 1: you doing this? I don't think so, honey, because here's
Speaker 1: the deal. Then I go on your Spotify and I'm
Speaker 1: looking through the songs and I'm not like in love
Speaker 1: with any of the songs in love with you? You
Speaker 1: know what. They're all like A minus. I don't have
Speaker 1: my A plus Charlie Pooth pooth pooth, but it's making
Speaker 1: my pooth be wet. And here's the thing, he can
Speaker 1: have my boothy. And even though I hate that word,
Speaker 1: Charlie Pooth, I'm literally so sexually attracted to him, and
Speaker 1: it's so effortless, a little cut in his eyebrow, Like
Speaker 1: what the fuck? I never thought i'd be a poother,
Speaker 1: but I'm poother, I think. And that's one minute you
Speaker 1: need to listen to empty Cops. You need to listen
Speaker 1: to how how long you need to listen to girlfriend?
Speaker 1: Obviously there the hits are there. You know what song like,
Speaker 1: um uh how long? Then go yeah? I mean he's
Speaker 1: he's so good and then sometimes he'll like literally throw
Speaker 1: together like kidding me. He's like it's so hot and sexy.
Speaker 1: How genius he is and he's so hot, and I
Speaker 1: get the feeling that he's one of those straight guys
Speaker 1: that you'd meet that you'd be in love with, but
Speaker 1: he a little bit don't you give energy? Because he
Speaker 1: is to me and like, oh, I see what you're saying,
Speaker 1: like as a gay man, like he's telling the line
Speaker 1: with you. I think that kind of boy where it's
Speaker 1: like I could I went to Wesleyan, which was very
Speaker 1: like artsy for like hippie dippy at the time, and
Speaker 1: I see him he up with you at four in
Speaker 1: number one and playing acoustic guitar, and You're like, are
Speaker 1: gonna hook up or what? He's just like kind of
Speaker 1: being close, he's gonna cuddle you all night, infuriate and
Speaker 1: then you like, don't hear from him again? Do you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? That kind of feeling you would
Speaker 1: have rather had sex with him, but he's like it's
Speaker 1: also like he's almost just like playing it closeness without
Speaker 1: actually having to be close. It's just's he posted this
Speaker 1: photo of him on a massage table and like the
Speaker 1: towel was like you could see like top but and
Speaker 1: I was like, you know exactly what you're doing, and
Speaker 1: fuck you because it works. It's like retail therapy and works.
Speaker 1: Just it just works. And the thing is like you
Speaker 1: get the sense that like he trying to stumbled into
Speaker 1: being this hot, figured out he was and was like
Speaker 1: hell yeah. But it's interesting because I also feel like
Speaker 1: he probably he he knew he was cute when he
Speaker 1: was young, and obviously there's like a touch, right because
Speaker 1: wasn't he someone who made his own songs? And then right,
Speaker 1: and so it's like so you already know when you're
Speaker 1: a YouTube boy, you know that like the people are
Speaker 1: liking what they're seeing. But then you get to the
Speaker 1: point where like people are literally crying when they look
Speaker 1: at you top. But to the thing too, though, is
Speaker 1: he as he's getting older, he's actually getting hotter, whereas
Speaker 1: like I used to think she's getting yeah, a little
Speaker 1: little little grizzle, which is kind of kind of really
Speaker 1: even hotter. He's not cleaning it up, he's kind of
Speaker 1: dressing it down. And I also love and I say
Speaker 1: this with all love and respect, but it looks like
Speaker 1: he's not in the fucking gym every single day, like
Speaker 1: only caring about that. He's like that natural hotness where
Speaker 1: I'm just like sometimes when I see these guys like that,
Speaker 1: maybe I would have thought was hot when I was
Speaker 1: like twelve, like Mark Wahlberg like made a muscle and like,
Speaker 1: you know, I did a motion picture with him and
Speaker 1: we had to hold hands for an entire day. How
Speaker 1: it was okay, it felt very strange and like very
Speaker 1: you know, it's just like what am I doing here?
Speaker 1: And then I had it was like the second day
Speaker 1: and maybe to hold it. That is, he's very like
Speaker 1: very like kind of chill person. But then as soon
Speaker 1: as it's time for him to do, he just does
Speaker 1: what he has to do and the cameras off and
Speaker 1: then he's like all right, he's managing his energy. He's
Speaker 1: like a typical like person of like when we were younger,
Speaker 1: it was like this is who's hot? And I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, And I was used to be horned up
Speaker 1: for that. But nowadays it's kind of like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: like someone looks like they're like less, they don't look
Speaker 1: like yeah, like they don't. You don't want to make it.
Speaker 1: You don't want to see that. It's a lot of
Speaker 1: work and who's just naturally living their life as opposed
Speaker 1: to someone who you see and you're like, Okay, I
Speaker 1: know there's no carbohydrates. A lout in his house. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know that gets a little sweaty for me. I'm
Speaker 1: just like, I don't know. Maybe it's also a thing
Speaker 1: of like I wouldn't know what to do with all that,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like I I still will
Speaker 1: stumble across the market mark pick within the Calvin I mean,
Speaker 1: you're a human gay man. So it's like, I'm like,
Speaker 1: how did this person like this? It's shocked, crazy and
Speaker 1: smiling and this big old thighs like I mean, like
Speaker 1: it's crazy. I mean, it's fully insane, Like I don't
Speaker 1: I also think Calvin Klein adds are like a heterosexual
Speaker 1: weapon of war towards gay men to slow us death.
Speaker 1: But now they want us to be slow, but they
Speaker 1: want us jack it off at home. So we're tired
Speaker 1: off our game. I think it's a long game term
Speaker 1: by the heterosexual. But now Calvinklinn I think is really
Speaker 1: like embracing their queer and in a very authentic way.
Speaker 1: I truly believe this. Like Calvin Klein is like he's
Speaker 1: trying to get he's trying to no, no, no, because
Speaker 1: you're going to do I didn't think that this summer,
Speaker 1: but I know. I literally they just had me host
Speaker 1: their like live show at Pride and it was it
Speaker 1: was kind of great to see. I was like, oh
Speaker 1: that the people here like internally like like care I
Speaker 1: Calvin Klein carts actually like Calvin cares they do. I
Speaker 1: want to wow you joking about And the fact is
Speaker 1: I'll get in the gym for six months to be
Speaker 1: in an AT. I'm not. I wasn't in an AD.
Speaker 1: I'm not even saying I was in I'm saying I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm saying for me, the goal, the goal would be
Speaker 1: in an ad fine throwing me the money and the attention.
Speaker 1: I thought about the ads. For me, it's about the
Speaker 1: the sort of inclusivity, not even the inclusivity, it's just
Speaker 1: like because that feels too like buzzworthy I feel like
Speaker 1: they really have always been about I don't know, the queers.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter where we're cutting this out. You know,
Speaker 1: we have to teach you because we love you. But
Speaker 1: I think, but I believe that maybe I don't think
Speaker 1: they knew what they were doing initially when they just
Speaker 1: when they discovered what it was, they embraced it and
Speaker 1: they did a better job of it than most of
Speaker 1: these fucking companies that there was. There was a UM.
Speaker 1: There was a like season where they had Kellen Lutts
Speaker 1: and the Cod Brooks from True Blood and it was
Speaker 1: the who the whole thing was it? It was called
Speaker 1: it was it was Calvin Klein X and it was
Speaker 1: like literally it was macd it was Kellen Lutts, and
Speaker 1: there was Um an Asian guy and the Latino and
Speaker 1: they racism with it because I was jacking off to
Speaker 1: all four and so basically like UM. But literally the
Speaker 1: campaign was like you want to see my ship and
Speaker 1: it was just them to them talking ship to camera
Speaker 1: and it was Calvin klent X like mark your Spot.
Speaker 1: That was the campaign. It was like I'm Google it woo,
Speaker 1: It's like mark your spot because it was like X
Speaker 1: like on the on the band. He's like, you want
Speaker 1: to see my ship, like talking about their cocks, like
Speaker 1: I know you want to see it, and like all
Speaker 1: four of them were like talking to the camera and
Speaker 1: I'm like spinning outcoming. This is how you know that
Speaker 1: I'm not like purely shilling for Calvin Klein, is that
Speaker 1: you want to see my ship and then mark the spot.
Speaker 1: I think pooh. Well, I wasn't thinking of pooh at
Speaker 1: the time. I was thinking of like this. Oh that's
Speaker 1: what he was thinking, Like, well, I'm telling you, what
Speaker 1: was your anything? So honey, I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: was Charlie Charlie? Yeah? Great, okay, so now I think
Speaker 1: you do Okay, alright, so this will be a moment
Speaker 1: in time. Um bone yang, I don't think so honey.
Speaker 1: Time starts now. I don't think so honey. Cars that
Speaker 1: don't have a car play, okay. I need my phone
Speaker 1: io s e Gooes system around me at all times,
Speaker 1: especially when I'm driving down these streets of Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: I want to be able to tap my little messages
Speaker 1: icon and see what people are texting me as if
Speaker 1: it was my phone. I want to be I don't
Speaker 1: want to be a wide screen I want to see
Speaker 1: different panels Google Maps on one, Spotify on the other. Second.
Speaker 1: Who knows, maybe uh um overcast on another podcast staff listen.
Speaker 1: I am having the worst time driving around this little
Speaker 1: rental coroller around Los Angeles right now because seconds they
Speaker 1: don't have car Play and I am taken out of
Speaker 1: the ecosystem. Yeah, that's right. I'm a little Apple boy
Speaker 1: and I need my products and car Play one of
Speaker 1: the best Apple products ever made. I don't think so
Speaker 1: many cars that don't have car Play, and that's what
Speaker 1: I meant it. It's so funny because when I first
Speaker 1: moved to l A, I said to myself, I was like,
Speaker 1: I can't have every one of my I don't think
Speaker 1: so Honey's now be car related. He's in l A
Speaker 1: for days and it's like no car play. I was
Speaker 1: actually just gonna ask if you m mc an event
Speaker 1: hosted by Apple car Play. I did a pride event
Speaker 1: for Apple car Player. I think they've always they've been
Speaker 1: very authentic about career people using car play, such as myself.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. I I used car Play and
Speaker 1: then you're at the whim of WiFi and it can
Speaker 1: get shitty because when you're needing to plug in an
Speaker 1: address and your WiFi or a car play acts up
Speaker 1: and you're on the four or five or the or
Speaker 1: the one on one. It's like and you're haven't to
Speaker 1: negotiate that or else, or you're gonna miss your exit
Speaker 1: and you're on the freeway like you know, it's trick,
Speaker 1: it's treacherous. Teller. Well, you know I don't drive. So
Speaker 1: everything you're telling me is it looks like part of
Speaker 1: why I don't. It's too much, too much. You want
Speaker 1: me to look at the map and you want me
Speaker 1: to drive. Who do you think I am? No, of course.
Speaker 1: And then now you got me going to the damn
Speaker 1: target and Burbank buying a pop socket holder yep for
Speaker 1: the car vents ye. And now it just feels too
Speaker 1: it's a lot. I don't have the confidence necessary. Now
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you right now what No, nothing, nothing,
Speaker 1: I got to I don't think. So, Honey's in my head,
Speaker 1: I see, and I just I'm like, maybe we have
Speaker 1: to like flip a coin. You alluded to one of
Speaker 1: the topics I know, and then the other one is
Speaker 1: more is much more general. Okay, So here's what I'd
Speaker 1: say I would say, if it's going to influence you,
Speaker 1: and just like that has taken up a ton of
Speaker 1: space on this podcast, and I know you came in
Speaker 1: with this. I don't think so, Hunt. We can still
Speaker 1: discuss it, and it can be discussed, and I'm also open.
Speaker 1: Are you doing both? I think because you've put a
Speaker 1: lot of time and didn't just like that, are you
Speaker 1: gonna say that too, that you spent a lot of
Speaker 1: time and just like that, I was gonna say that
Speaker 1: you have earned the rights to do both if you
Speaker 1: would like, Wow, that's gorgeous, So you can do both.
Speaker 1: And I'm but I'm telling you, if it feels like
Speaker 1: righting your spirits, only pick one personally. And I would
Speaker 1: never be like, whatever you want, I'm gonna actually give
Speaker 1: you my opinion. We've talked about it. Just like that.
Speaker 1: I've just I've decided, Okay, okay, I've decided to me,
Speaker 1: this is Naomi and Pegans. I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: her time starts now. I don't think so, honey. Restaurants
Speaker 1: with small plate, small place as the meal, how dare
Speaker 1: you the fact is maybe charging so much for a
Speaker 1: small play You're like, Okay, that's entree and it shows
Speaker 1: up and it's like four scallops. Honey. I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: made for sharing. Honey, we had a PANDEMI I don't
Speaker 1: know you, and you don't know my hung below. I
Speaker 1: don't think so, honey. We do things differently at this restaurant.
Speaker 1: I don't want different I want to give you money
Speaker 1: in exchange for food, and I wanted to be enough
Speaker 1: food that I walk out feeling like I'm by throw up. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's how I choose to eat when I'm out in
Speaker 1: these streets. I don't think so, hendy. You know what
Speaker 1: I would suggest, like four little plates per person and
Speaker 1: that how dare you you? I got to cobble together
Speaker 1: all four food groups from five different plates, I got
Speaker 1: to pick up. How dare you I just put it
Speaker 1: all on one plate. We need to get them goddamn
Speaker 1: kindergarten plates back. When you put a vegetable in one hole,
Speaker 1: you put another hole, You've put the car of another hole,
Speaker 1: and then one minute I would say, I'm happy I
Speaker 1: steered you that in one hole. You know I want
Speaker 1: the plates, those plates back to I don't care how
Speaker 1: juvenile that makes me sound. I want the plates like that.
Speaker 1: I'm sick of l A loves a small plate. They
Speaker 1: love everything, honeyway in in space that with the top.
Speaker 1: We just went across the street to Danny's Trey Host Tacos.
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, the small plates. And obviously you
Speaker 1: order the tacos and they're delicious and they're amazing, but
Speaker 1: this is a read on me there and they're therefore
Speaker 1: on small plates. I never know how many is to
Speaker 1: So what I what had just happened was we went
Speaker 1: over there and I ordered to Baha Baha fish tacos
Speaker 1: them two black and salmon tacos, and it was too
Speaker 1: much food. It was too much topic. And I think
Speaker 1: I should have ordered too, and had the glock that
Speaker 1: we have, I would have been okay and fine, right right.
Speaker 1: Small plates gets you to overorder, that's exactly what they want.
Speaker 1: But and also too, I think small plates encourages all
Speaker 1: this like sharing, and I really don't like sharing, especially
Speaker 1: away from my fo, I know, especially now, but even
Speaker 1: like it's any like even Andy and I, you know,
Speaker 1: been together, damn you twelve years, and it'll be like okay,
Speaker 1: but like can I have something? I'm like you should
Speaker 1: get your yeah, like we're out and they're hungry, like
Speaker 1: I'm not a good share It's not he doesn't like
Speaker 1: that about me. Do you like, are you a big
Speaker 1: Like yeah, like take a little bite. I will always
Speaker 1: offered bites to people. I like sometimes I like trying
Speaker 1: to prove nothing. I'm offering bite. I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: prove anything. I don't mother Teresa, but I want to.
Speaker 1: I want a ban barter system, not a barter system.
Speaker 1: I just go mad, ordered something delicious, try a little bite,
Speaker 1: and he always just shoots me the darkest. Where were
Speaker 1: you the day when you were like you're like you
Speaker 1: said something like, hey, can I have a little bit
Speaker 1: of that? And I was like, yeah, I don't remember,
Speaker 1: but you remember it was Mexico City, Mexico City. I
Speaker 1: was like, hey, how is some't that? You were like yeah,
Speaker 1: I understand because you had to assess. You were like, okay,
Speaker 1: do I want him in my play? If he takes something?
Speaker 1: Will I be secretly mad? Later I get it, I
Speaker 1: get I'm a completion with my meals, but I feel
Speaker 1: like I didn't have it if I didn't have all
Speaker 1: of it, Like even if i'm I'll eat the whole thing,
Speaker 1: like I don't like to take things home. I like
Speaker 1: to finish it. So that and so today was frustrating
Speaker 1: for me for that reason because I left a lot
Speaker 1: of what was not me, which I hate. But also
Speaker 1: it's like, usually when I'm ordering on a menu, there
Speaker 1: are like four things I want. So when I picked
Speaker 1: the one thing, that means I picked it, and I
Speaker 1: chose it and I committed to it. Okay, so that's mine. Yes,
Speaker 1: you have the same time and same choices, right, you
Speaker 1: know what I will do to where it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: you want to try some this. We each get our
Speaker 1: own main and we'll pick something that we can share,
Speaker 1: meaning like a third Yes I did say a third
Speaker 1: entree for two people, and then you can each have
Speaker 1: a little bity. But that's sensible, okay, but you can't
Speaker 1: come up in my plate. What you know what else?
Speaker 1: I don't like My mother does this, and this is
Speaker 1: really stupid and counterintuitive. But I'll have my meal, she'll
Speaker 1: have hers, and she doesn't want to eat all her food,
Speaker 1: so she'll be like, here, Matt, I want you to
Speaker 1: have my mom. I said thank you. We've got two
Speaker 1: fights about it. Said thank you. She's like, just try it.
Speaker 1: I want you to have it. No, Mom, I have
Speaker 1: my own thing. You have it. Then it's on my
Speaker 1: plate and put it on like stop, I'm like, and
Speaker 1: then I have it and it's good. But that's not
Speaker 1: the point. I just I said, no, imagine imagine your
Speaker 1: mom doing that, but not even saying, here, have something.
Speaker 1: My mom wordlessly puts starts to scoop her food into
Speaker 1: mine and I don't, Mom, stop it. We don't, and
Speaker 1: me and my sister and yelled her. And she's gotten
Speaker 1: upset because she's like, I'm being attacked. No, Mom, we
Speaker 1: are telling you, but then you feel crazy because you're right.
Speaker 1: We do. We do this every year once a year.
Speaker 1: She gets upset that we we it's part. It's exactly
Speaker 1: like an adult. And I said, no respect. My bounces yea.
Speaker 1: And I'm not snapping. I'm just like, no, thank you,
Speaker 1: I'm having my thing. Well, it's really good. I don't
Speaker 1: doubt that. I just have this because then, like I said,
Speaker 1: as a completionist, with food, I'll finish everything and once
Speaker 1: it's on my plate, I feel like I must eat
Speaker 1: it assignment. And also with appetizers, they'll be like Matt
Speaker 1: finished that. I'm like, but I wait, enjoyed my meal,
Speaker 1: and then they'll say, no, we're not gonna eat it.
Speaker 1: You have to eat it. And now all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it's is in position because if it doesn't get eating,
Speaker 1: it's my faults. Why is it on you? Because I
Speaker 1: think they look at me like a thirty one year
Speaker 1: old man who's still like a sixteen year old man, like, well,
Speaker 1: he's a growing boy, and our son and our daughter
Speaker 1: is not gonna eat it. I used to always say
Speaker 1: that when I was younger. I always say I'm a
Speaker 1: growing boy because you never heard the phrase she's a
Speaker 1: growing girl eat a lot. I'm a growing boy because
Speaker 1: I've always had a very big appetite. And I said,
Speaker 1: I'm a growing boy. Now do you want to have
Speaker 1: a platform to talk about Steve? And just like that, yeah,
Speaker 1: please share, okay, just really quickly. I just don't appreciate
Speaker 1: the way they did Steve dirty on it just like that, Okay,
Speaker 1: especially given you know the canon, Okay, the history of
Speaker 1: this show. She all, she put him through it for
Speaker 1: sleeping with someone else. We've also already seen the story
Speaker 1: of Steve and I don't have sex, so why that
Speaker 1: was even the story? Also, why did you have to
Speaker 1: make his entire character Steve can't hear. That was like
Speaker 1: his whole characters. Just like what and I said, y'all
Speaker 1: did his ass wrong? You had him meeting you on
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Bridge. First of all, making anyone go to
Speaker 1: Brooklyn is just you're speaking. Yes, I guess from what
Speaker 1: I hear, David, I give himself pitched the Steve can't hear.
Speaker 1: You treat him like just talent exactly he did. Yes,
Speaker 1: I did hear. But also, honey, it's called a shade.
Speaker 1: It's not the entire drawing. Okay, gave me some nuance.
Speaker 1: Did you see the episode where he was flopping around
Speaker 1: that farmer's market. Yes, that's what I seen in that episode.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't watched more either. It was that made me
Speaker 1: so mad, And I was like, and he is I
Speaker 1: just like Steve. It's just like a good man who
Speaker 1: been out here trying his best. And like Audo, like
Speaker 1: he's so hot, you know, you know I love an honest,
Speaker 1: petite man. Yes, And I don't know like they did
Speaker 1: him so wrong. I just felt, like Miranda, what they
Speaker 1: tried to They tried to play the audience by making
Speaker 1: us think he forgot how to finger her. I mean also,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. They also wanted me to think that it
Speaker 1: was not attractive because you know that in the kitchen
Speaker 1: and he's like what and then he like goes to
Speaker 1: wash his hands, and you can tell that Miranda's like,
Speaker 1: make it sexy. I said, absolutely not. If there's anything
Speaker 1: I love after three years of co but it's hand hygiene.
Speaker 1: I want you taking the full twenty seconds. You're gonna
Speaker 1: go into a mucous membrane of mine ingers. It's a
Speaker 1: east In fact. When it to happen, I was like,
Speaker 1: there's nothing hotter than a hand washed me. And they
Speaker 1: tried to make it seem like and then she gave
Speaker 1: him all of like twelve seconds and I was like,
Speaker 1: forget it. And I just said, well, cha fingers me
Speaker 1: with weed resident on their fingers. Disgusting. Oh god, don't
Speaker 1: you hate that? For a lot of people, Cha Diaz
Speaker 1: is their introduction to stand up comedy, where people who
Speaker 1: think that like that's what comedy is, change involve gros
Speaker 1: when's your next comedy concert? I have a huge comedy
Speaker 1: concert happening. It's also a pilot and it's uh and
Speaker 1: I'm throwing a big party about it. What I have
Speaker 1: a rehearsed music number. You should come. It's in the
Speaker 1: basement of Bowery ball Room. I couldn't believe it was
Speaker 1: mcgreet surreal. It was mgreat surreal to watch what happened.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I am not a pipe but peep.
Speaker 1: What I think is they need to bring Steve back
Speaker 1: for the second season, and Miranda needs to be having
Speaker 1: a tough time with Chay, and then Steve is there
Speaker 1: because I don't know, like they have like a thing
Speaker 1: to go to with their son. And Steve brings his
Speaker 1: smoke show Hot New Girlfriends played by Naomi and there
Speaker 1: they are extended the talent, extended sex scenes where he's
Speaker 1: playing the pipe. Thank you. That would be the dream.
Speaker 1: And I would say, who, how did I get you
Speaker 1: on sale? You know what I mean? You get you
Speaker 1: getting him on the rack? And I just said, you
Speaker 1: know what you are. All of a sudden, he's flew
Speaker 1: into sex again. He forgot like it was speaking Spanish.
Speaker 1: He was like, oh, I forgot that, And like he's
Speaker 1: like acting like his fingers didn't he hasn't used them
Speaker 1: in years. He forgot had a finger forgot. He did
Speaker 1: not forget she didn't give him time to figure out
Speaker 1: what was what. Pull your panties down, Pull your pants down.
Speaker 1: You just gonna tell me to put a hand in
Speaker 1: the front, and I'm just gonna know where everything is.
Speaker 1: That ain't how word no, And of course it's gonna
Speaker 1: be on sexy. You just did the dishes. Also enough
Speaker 1: for another Miranda. Maybe it's you, Okay, you suck, thank
Speaker 1: you for Miranda, Okay, whatever. They deserve each other's like
Speaker 1: you d m me three months ago, I don't drink
Speaker 1: my d you got a gm me again. Miranda is nasty.
Speaker 1: She thinks she's always right. She's annoying. What a fall
Speaker 1: true fall? Well, I mean whatever we can. We can
Speaker 1: talk about this all night. But you know something about
Speaker 1: the rational viewers character blowing up her life like this
Speaker 1: is sort of I don't know, a big, big swing.
Speaker 1: That is as big a swing as killing off big
Speaker 1: which you which you have to respect. I mean, if
Speaker 1: they were going to come back, I guess they had
Speaker 1: to do a lot with it, and they certainly didn't.
Speaker 1: Like we said, it was a perfect season of television
Speaker 1: and we highly await, anticipate the second season to the
Speaker 1: finale was the finale is gonna. It's gonna leave you
Speaker 1: in a good mood. You're gonna you're gonna love the
Speaker 1: way you look. You guarantee it, guarantee it. Listen. This
Speaker 1: was again a perfect episode. And Netflix is on. Namick
Speaker 1: Paragon is here and she was um an absolute joy
Speaker 1: to have as always, And this is your third time,
Speaker 1: and this makes you a legend. This makes me a
Speaker 1: triple threat, actually three last. We actually have an announcement, Naomi.
Speaker 1: We would like to give you an award. It's a
Speaker 1: prestigious Last Culturess Award and it's the Last Culture That's
Speaker 1: Icon Award. Past recipients have included Hot Reagan and he's
Speaker 1: only and now now you you are in the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame that is, that's only the only hall of
Speaker 1: fame I want to be in. Thank you so much,
Speaker 1: And it's just been an honor to grow with you.
Speaker 1: Thank you. You're you're actually now ineligible for all other
Speaker 1: hall of fames. So it's good that you said that. Okay,
Speaker 1: well exactly, Thank goodness, Thank goodness, it all works out.
Speaker 1: Remember that time I texted you, Matt and said I
Speaker 1: want to win whatever like you were doing, like a
Speaker 1: top or like something like one of the list, right,
Speaker 1: I want to win. Put me on the list. The
Speaker 1: Cultural Awards came out and she said, I want to win,
Speaker 1: and you have to reward that. Well, they're canceled. That's
Speaker 1: not how it works. I said, that's actually not how
Speaker 1: it works. But I'm sure they're canceled. But you have
Speaker 1: an Icon Award now and then maybe we'll print something
Speaker 1: out for you like a certificate. Maybe we won't, but
Speaker 1: either way, you stand by, stand by. Well, this was
Speaker 1: a perfect episode, like we said, what a what an
Speaker 1: incredible time, and we end every episode with the song.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I run, sometimes I hide, sometimes I'm scared and
Speaker 1: I really want. It's to hold you down. Will you
Speaker 1: did baby early this time? Bye?
