The Cutest the Cutest Box Ever. They caused 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:59.640 some tissue paper. The sixth grade photo that was overly 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:03.360 con fident but looking like barbed from Stranger Things Creation 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.760 as an adult, where I had fake braces made and 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.920 I made mittens come with me. Lisa drove mittens over 0:10:08.960 --> 0:10:11.320 that day to be in the photo. I was. I 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:14.520 was the mittens wrangler for the day he drove over 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:18.160 to Robin bond Swank studio and I was so good 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.839 and quiet. She was miserable. You can see the look 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:22.680 at her face was like, get me out of this 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.480 woman's clutches, and then you get yourself a little miss, 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.720 a little content tote. So just go on. I'll tell 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:31.080 you what I wanted. I really wanted my actual sixth 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.280 grade photo to be the cover, and they were like, no, 0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:35.640 we want people to recognize you. So I was like fine. 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.559 So then I was like, okay, then I'll recreate it. 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:41.160 And so I was rooting for. I was like, that's 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:44.199 clearly the cover as me with mittens. But I actually 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.360 believe I got the right cover that I was supposed 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.000 to get. And then I was supposed to make this. 0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.720 I was supposed to start a puzzle company. It's an 0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:56.840 amazing gift box. It's an amazing gift box. I think. 0:10:56.920 --> 0:10:59.840 I think the fact that you designed it and packaged 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.760 it makes it extra special. Thank you so much. I 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:05.880 you know what I kept wanted. I knew again. I 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.240 don't know, man, I'm locked in my house. I'm not 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.160 Tina Fey, I'm not John Grisham. So I thought, what 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.400 I can do is design ship, and I know the 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.600 book is fun and good, and I thought everybody, everybody's 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:19.760 having a hard year. So I was like, fuck it, 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:24.040 I'm going to take every penny I've ever made, and 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:26.199 I'm gonna make presents from my friends and gonna make 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:29.440 it impossible for people to not want to photograph this. 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.400 I'm gonna make it impossible for people to not want 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:35.280 to put it on Instagram. And I feel like that 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.040 was the whole goal, was like grassroots and if they 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.240 don't I just made them a little happy whatever. And 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.120 if it didn't make them happy, then they're dead inside 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:43.840 and that's not my problem and I can't fix that. 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:49.360 So um, well, can I just also say please, there's 0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:52.080 a lot of tote bags out there? Yes. I actually 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:53.440 I took it out and looked at it, and and I 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.880 was like, this is a quality toe. I'll tell you what, 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.040 because I've got a lot of totes in my life. 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.079 And I actually spent quite a bit of month me 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.880 on the tote because I was like, I didn't want 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:05.400 a thin tote. I wanted like a booge. I wanted 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.960 to be the equivalent of like a purse or a 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.600 beach bag or a book bag. I want thank you 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.640 so much, Lisa, because that was an intentional like I 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.079 could have saved a lot of money. If I didn't 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:17.920 make it, it would have looked the same, but it 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.000 wouldn't have been a quality toe. No, it's a quality toe. 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.319 It's got like the nice handles, like the sturdy handles, 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:28.560 and it's it's a good size. Katie's nodding your craft 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:31.360 out of it. Katie's nodding her head. And if you're like, 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:34.640 guess what art and I might not win. I want 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.800 that fucking tote you. I don't know if how many 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:39.680 are left.

All right, 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.839 here we are. It's me and Lisa. So Lisa and 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:31.480 I let me just do a little up top because 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.040 Lisa has read the book and we're gonna be chatting 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:36.679 about that up top. Lisa and I met. I'm gonna 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:39.080 shave some years off of us. Lisa. We met in 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:44.880 two thousand and nineteen when we were twenty two and 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:48.080 um we were doing stand up at Stand Up New 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.480 York back in the day with you and me and 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:57.360 Zach Galifianakis and A. D. Miles, Bobby Tuesdale and um, 0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.600 and we were we knew each other, we were buds. 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:03.320 But then you reconnected when I moved back to New 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:07.480 York after Mad TV in two thousand and nine, and 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:11.480 then we started a comedy show. Um, but I just 0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:13.360 want to say, like when I first I always thought 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.400 you were so talented, so different. I thought your stand 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.960 up was so great, You're such a great writer. There's 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:21.040 nobody like you. And I always just like you were 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:25.520 just a nice person. And then we started this show 0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.920 in Brooklyn at the Union Hall and then sometimes we 0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.160 would do it at the Bellhouse called the Party Machine, 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:35.480 where we would stage elaborate parties that were comedy show. 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.320 I mean that's the equivalent of the Box. The Box 0:14:37.400 --> 0:14:40.600 is a party machine. Um. We because we alwould spend 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:43.280 more money on costumes than we would make like we would. 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.200 It was a theme party, you know, remember we did 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:48.160 like a cruise ship theme and you were in like 0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:51.160 a captain tat and like yeah, so, but can I 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:53.280 say like the premise of our show, which is your 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:57.680 idea Party Machine show was totally your brain child. And 0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.160 you approached me and you were like, hey, you to 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.520 start a show. And I had kind of stopped doing 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.680 stand up because I'd gone back to school, and it 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:09.800 was like I was like, yes, I do want to start. 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.680 It was just like the right timing for both of us, 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.720 and I wanted it to be good vibes. It was 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.720 such good vibes. It was all fun and it was 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.480 the theme was you and I were professional party planners 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:26.400 and every single show was a different party and we 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:32.640 were like, yeah, we went full blown costume, full costume. 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.520 It did what was the first one dog days of summer, 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:39.120 and we've had fake tans that sorry, we had fake 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.440 tansum and then we had like beach balls that were 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:43.920 going through that. But it was so dumb. We had 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:45.960 like the baby we had a baby shower party. We 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:48.360 we had we were like the most pregnant humans that 0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:52.120 had ever been. Oh yeah, we had family reunion. There 0:15:52.200 --> 0:15:54.200 was a lot. We had a lot of different we 0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:55.880 had when you can't do now? We did a Michael 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:59.560 Jackson party. Can't do that now, you can't we get out? 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.640 Did we have a like, uh, what's the pretty and 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:06.880 pink sixteen candles? Probably because eventually you run out of thing. 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.960 We had the birthday party. We had like a retirement 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:14.800 party eventually. The one of snow Day was oh snow Day. 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.720 I remember wearing a full snowsuit and being so hot 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.040 on stage, but it was so fun. It was so 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:25.920 hot and yeah, that's right. We had a lot of 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.960 so the hot celebs came. I remember you were dressed 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:33.400 early as Michael Jackson flirting with Jason studakas like with 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.720 the glove and the fedora, and then you were but 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.480 you looked just like Michael Jackson, and you were wondering 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:43.320 if he was like into you. Yeah, I didn't like cute. 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:48.040 I looked You're terrifying. It was not good. It wasn't. 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:50.680 We have photos of it. With the glove, you had 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:54.920 a bomber check and and he was like jammed in 0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:58.120 the middle of us on chairs, looking being a good sport, 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:02.040 but looking kind of capture, like by these two insane 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:05.480 women that had kind of captured him, which was the 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.280 g D delight. And you and I have just we've 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.199 done so many fun shows, so many terrible Remember when 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.399 we did that stand up gig at the dog track 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:16.520 in New York, Like we went out to some dog 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.800 racing track and did stand up like in the middle 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:24.720 of the casino, like in between slot misches. Oh my god, 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.600 I forgot about that. And there was a headliner there 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:31.240 was I was the headliner. I was the headliner. It 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.760 was It was not our best work, but we got 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:38.040 through it. That's when you really boy has forty five 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.920 minutes never seemed so long in my life. But Lisa, 0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:42.840 so I was like, I knew I wanted to do 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:46.359 a feeling thorny, and I was like, who do I 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:48.960 want to ask? And I just thought, Lisa is a 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:53.320 big reader. Lisa loves books. Lisa knows me, she knows 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:56.919 a lot about my family. Were the same age, and 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.800 she also has a quirky family. Although we grew up 0:17:59.840 --> 0:18:02.560 in very different parts of the world, are very different. 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:04.720 But I thought she would give sort of an honest 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:08.600 we have not chatted beforehand, and uh, she's finished the 0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:12.560 book and we're just going to chat about the book. Lisa, 0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:16.879 you read it, little miss little Compton. You say, you 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:22.919 say that, I'm It's yeah, it's such a fun read. 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:28.800 It is such a delightful, fun compelling read. And you say, 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:32.840 I'm a reader. But to be honest, yeah, I like 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:35.040 to think of myself as a reader, but I don't 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:39.040 have the focus really to finish books. It's all right, 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:42.560 I start books. It's rare that I find a book 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:45.560 that i'm I get into and then I like I 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:48.120 want to you know, like I I'm excited to get 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:51.200 back to it. And I absolutely felt that way about 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:57.080 little miss little Compton. Yeah, it's I mean. And also 0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:01.680 you know that as a comedian, jaded old comedian, I'm 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:04.800 I don't laugh easily, like I mean, I don't just 0:19:05.280 --> 0:19:09.679 it takes a lot to make me belly laugh. And 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:12.720 I I swear to God l O L my way 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:16.600 through this book like that makes that makes me feel 0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:20.800 so good. Art. I mean, I've always known um to 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.600 the listeners, I've always known the art in It's like 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:27.280 you know a word Smith. She's funny, like like rapid 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:31.159 fire funny. You you're you have mad improv skills, but 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:35.479 I had no idea that you could translate that into 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:42.640 the written word. And it is really well written. It's 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:45.000 really it's like I feel like you've been writing books 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:49.080 for years. And and I'm not just saying I totally 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:52.840 feel this way. I because you're my friend. I can't 0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:54.960 That means so much to me because I'm so and 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:57.359 I'm not saying and I'm not saying I do not 0:19:57.440 --> 0:19:59.560 say this lately because I know people out there who 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:02.800 have a been officially diagnosed or like, hey, like, I'm 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:05.040 not saying this is like a joking way. There's a 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:07.200 part of me that does I feel that I probably 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:09.959 have a little a D D. So the sheer fact, 0:20:10.480 --> 0:20:12.679 it's always I've always been like a sprinter, not a 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:16.159 marathon person of I get things done. But if you 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:18.919 watched me, it's organized chaos, like it doesn't look I 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:21.280 don't look like a person that's getting things done. And 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:23.920 as you know, even when we would prep for party machine, 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:26.399 you were very much a straight line, and I'm like 0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:30.359 a I'm like a spiral. Totally. Yes, that is so true. 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:33.520 You were like rapid fire, like shooting ideas out. But 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:36.679 it's not an order. It's not an order, it's like 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:40.720 and so the sheer fact this to me, I don't 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:43.560 know how this actually got I don't I don't know 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:48.040 quite how it actually got made in that that it 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.840 had to be. It's suthing. You can't do a book 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:54.679 in one night. You literally can't complete Like podcasting is 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:57.879 almost perfect for me, you know. Like, so it was 0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:02.360 to think that I actually had to have an overarching thing, 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:05.360 have to be organized, have it be long, and then 0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:08.320 like have it make have each chapter sort of lead 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:10.640 to the next and like be cleaned up and polished 0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:16.200 is so against how my brain and how I work 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:19.320 that it's and and for anybody out there that's like 0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:21.800 wants to be an author if it makes you feel better. 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:23.719 I did not sit down and write it from like 0:21:23.840 --> 0:21:26.199 eight am to four pm, like at first, it was 0:21:26.240 --> 0:21:28.560 like ten or fifteen minutes a day, Like I just 0:21:28.600 --> 0:21:30.679 couldn't do it. It's too painful to stare at the 0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:34.160 flank page. Yeah, and I remember you you telling me 0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:36.080 like when you were in the process of writing it, 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:39.280
