Speaker 1: every single week.
Speaker 2: They get like a prompt we should do it for.
Speaker 1: For comedians, Brian, where you have like a word or
Speaker 1: two and you have to write a joke around it.
Speaker 5: I used to do that back in the day, and
Speaker 5: it's just it doesn't work. It's not productive. I used
Speaker 5: to call it the five by five And there was
Speaker 5: some pretty pretty good names in this five by five group.
Speaker 3: Okay, and.
Speaker 2: Let me let's name some names. This is like the
Speaker 2: Epstein list.
Speaker 6: Bill Clinton.
Speaker 1: Released yea and Vid Copperfield's talking about him being on
Speaker 1: that list.
Speaker 6: I know, disappear. Yeah, that same joke opposite in.
Speaker 1: I didn't make the joke because I've made it so
Speaker 1: many times. Every time it comes up, I go, oh,
Speaker 1: it must not be that good. You can't make.
Speaker 5: I thought I was clever, but no, though Michelle Wolfe
Speaker 5: was on the five by five Alice Wetterland from Silicon
Speaker 5: Valley Matt Coff, who is a writer for The Daily Show.
Speaker 1: For these are great names, Michelle wolf can I just
Speaker 1: bookmark really quick and just slide in and say she
Speaker 1: was the first person I ever knew who had to
Speaker 1: quit froyo.
Speaker 2: Because I have a Froyo is an addiction.
Speaker 1: Anya has been addicted to it before I've been addicted
Speaker 1: to it. It's been like the only thing I eat
Speaker 1: all day. I'll eat it for every meal, Like I've
Speaker 1: gone through stages in my life where it's the only thing.
Speaker 1: And she was the first person who we used to
Speaker 1: Michelle and I used to go get froyo together. That
Speaker 1: was like our thing. And she was the first person
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, yeah, I don't I don't eat
Speaker 1: that anymore. And I was just like wait what. She's like, well,
Speaker 1: we can go do something else. But I was like, how,
Speaker 1: what do you mean you don't eat anymore? Like this
Speaker 1: is it's twelve hands wait, sixteen handles. Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: the name of the place in New York, sixteen Handles
Speaker 1: that was our thing, but she quit it and I
Speaker 1: really respected that, and I.
Speaker 2: Also respect.
Speaker 6: As you think it is no it.
Speaker 1: It is in moderation, but if you're eating it constantly
Speaker 1: and it's all you eat it, it's it can be
Speaker 1: like you know, lowly caloric, but it's not good for
Speaker 1: you to only eat that.
Speaker 2: Do you remember the topics you put on it? Do
Speaker 2: you have?
Speaker 1: Like I just like sprinkles and rice crispies and coconut
Speaker 1: would be my ideal, But if I was trying to
Speaker 1: be anorexic, it would be rice crispies and then sprinkles.
Speaker 2: I got really into.
Speaker 1: But then you get obsessed with the sugar and you go,
Speaker 1: I can't have any sugar and there's no like sugar
Speaker 1: free sprinkles. It's all it's yeah, it's it's not good.
Speaker 1: Now I avoid I don't crave fro you.
Speaker 2: Like I used to. But it used to be. Oh,
Speaker 2: remember I'm not safe.
Speaker 1: Like that's when you know you have an eating disorder
Speaker 1: when everyone knows about it and everyone like everyone is
Speaker 1: just operating around it and everyone normalizes it. Like no
Speaker 1: one's like, Nikki, this is.
Speaker 2: All you eat.
Speaker 1: They're like, go get your time again, because I was
Speaker 1: the boss on that show, so everyone sure, I'm sure
Speaker 1: everyone's whispering about like this is not normal, but like
Speaker 1: it was just it was just so.
Speaker 5: It was like Nikki, you go get your meat balls.
Speaker 5: I think I'd be a little more embarrassing.
Speaker 7: Or your one carrot or something that was saddening.
Speaker 1: That one's hard to do, the carrot one when you're
Speaker 1: not eating that one's hard to like operate with and
Speaker 1: like have a full life to like get away with
Speaker 1: not eating around people.
Speaker 2: But yeah, when you when you can lean into it, like.
Speaker 1: I'm just a froio. And I remember I remember Tim Convey,
Speaker 1: Chris's brother, made a joke that the size contained that
Speaker 1: I get for froyo is like if you flipped it over,
Speaker 1: it would be like what like lion tamers.
Speaker 4: That's what I was gonna say with a bearwood.
Speaker 1: Damn shit it was. And I remember I cried secretly
Speaker 1: to Chris about it, being like to made a joke
Speaker 1: about my froyo, and like Chris was like, why are
Speaker 1: you crying? Like we always make jokes about your froyo.
Speaker 1: But it's like he didn't know the under like all
Speaker 1: of the bullshit underneath all the shame of like this
Speaker 1: is the only thing I eat and like it. It
Speaker 1: just sucks when you're thing that you are addicted to
Speaker 1: that's ruining your life. No one notices it because it's
Speaker 1: like a big joke or whatever, you know, like it's
Speaker 1: just so and you do it to yourself. It's no
Speaker 1: one else's fault. But you don't really do it yourself
Speaker 1: because there's no free will. But go back to your the.
Speaker 5: Joke group taking the bookmark out yeaokmark.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So it's called five by five because we would do
Speaker 5: five jokes every week. I don't remember if it was
Speaker 5: every week or every day, but that's why it's called
Speaker 5: five by Oh five jokes every day for five days
Speaker 5: a week, so Monday through Friday.
Speaker 1: Oh that's a lot though.
Speaker 6: It could just be premises.
Speaker 5: It could and then we toss things out and we'd
Speaker 5: all reply to each other and discuss like, oh, that
Speaker 5: premise is really good, or here's a text is it
Speaker 5: a text chain? It was email? Oh, okay, an email,
Speaker 5: and it was I don't think it got you thinking
Speaker 5: about jokes. But other than that, I don't think it
Speaker 5: really helped anybody all that much. It was just like, oh,
Speaker 5: I gotta do the five by five, and then you
Speaker 5: would just poop out some shit joke like what if
Speaker 5: dogs could talk?
Speaker 2: And it's just like that be good at it. I
Speaker 2: think I would.
Speaker 1: I think I would operate well in this. I think
Speaker 1: I want to do the five by five.
Speaker 6: I think I'm gonna So who would be in your
Speaker 6: five by five?
Speaker 1: Which I think you are like people who I'm not
Speaker 1: embarrassed to be unfunny around, because that's the thing is,
Speaker 1: you're going to be in funny. But I also want
Speaker 1: people who I respect comedically, who I know respect me,
Speaker 1: and so I have to keep that respect up. Like
Speaker 1: I learned yesterday my voice lesson. I was playing this
Speaker 1: new song that I'm working on and he was like,
Speaker 1: this is really interesting, Like he was like laughing at
Speaker 1: the lyrics. He was just he's always bowled over by
Speaker 1: like the songs I bring in because he's just like,
Speaker 1: what is she saying in this one? Like Taylor Swift lyrics.
Speaker 1: I'll just be like, wait, what are we talking about?
Speaker 1: So the song I did was by the Mountain Goats
Speaker 1: and I love it. It's called No Children. Have you
Speaker 1: ever heard it? It's just like this really upbeat song,
Speaker 1: but it's really about a couple like breaking up and
Speaker 1: how they want to stay together, but they're also like
Speaker 1: they hate each other and it's just but it's all done.
Speaker 1: I love the paradox of like a happy song and
Speaker 1: it's so dark, and so the chorus is like I
Speaker 1: hope you die. I hope we both die, and it's
Speaker 1: just all about just hoping the person dies but also
Speaker 1: wanting to stay with them and like I hope we
Speaker 1: I hope we hang on past the last exit. I
Speaker 1: hope it's already too late. So it's like I hope
Speaker 1: we hang on, but I also hope, like we're doomed
Speaker 1: and it's starty too late.
Speaker 2: So it's just this juxtaposition.
Speaker 1: Anyway, I sing the whole song and he goes, He's
Speaker 1: just like, oh, every time you sing, like I went
Speaker 1: through it two times, and he goes, every time you
Speaker 1: play it, like I keep hearing new things. This is
Speaker 1: this song is bonkers, and so he's like, I need
Speaker 1: to record this. So he's like, I want to record you.
Speaker 1: He was like, I gotta play this for Angela, his wife.
Speaker 2: Later it's like I gotta play this for a Laric.
Speaker 2: She's gonna love these lyrics. This is crazy.
Speaker 1: So he records it and then suddenly I'm like, really
Speaker 1: much better, like because he's recording it, and then he goes,
Speaker 1: then I kind of fucked up, But then I go,
Speaker 1: can we do it again? I record it again and
Speaker 1: it's even better, and then I fuck and I go,
Speaker 1: let me try to get one more time, and he
Speaker 1: at the end of it, he's like, I think I
Speaker 1: just stumbled onto something with you. When you are forced
Speaker 1: to perform and like it's going to be record, you
Speaker 1: step it up more so than just in front of me.
Speaker 1: And I was like, Yeah, I think that that needs
Speaker 1: to I need to implement that more in my life
Speaker 1: to have results of like the pressure, which you know
Speaker 1: is not a new concept whatsoever, but that's I think
Speaker 1: the five by five might work for me.
Speaker 2: Can I add an idea to five by five?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Why don't you guys give yourself an end date so
Speaker 3: that no one feels guilty about dropping out and more
Speaker 3: people want to participate because there's.
Speaker 6: A dry catuary or something you do like February.
Speaker 1: I kind of like the idea of if you don't
Speaker 1: do it, then you're out of the group. That's what
Speaker 1: Anya's group is like. If she doesn't turn in a song,
Speaker 1: you get kicked out. I'm sure there's ever not forever,
Speaker 1: but like you got to really earn your way back
Speaker 1: in and be like, I'm really gonna stick with this
Speaker 1: because it's not this isn't just everyone has to that
Speaker 1: keeps it honest.
Speaker 2: So that you have to turn in crap if crap
Speaker 2: is all you have, that's the.
Speaker 7: Whole point of it. Yes, you don't do it then.
Speaker 1: And there's an excuse for turning in crap because you're like,
Speaker 1: I had to turn in something or else I get
Speaker 1: kicked in the group.
Speaker 2: So you have like a little fallback.
Speaker 1: So I kind of like that idea of like you
Speaker 1: can miss two weeks or whatever it is, but then
Speaker 1: you're out. I kind of like that maybe yeah, but
Speaker 1: also having a being able.
Speaker 7: To but a song is so much harder. I mean
Speaker 7: I could think of a thousand jokes a day and just.
Speaker 6: To come up with that.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah. I mean they might not be good, but
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 1: I think songwriters if I was trying to Conny Taylor
Speaker 1: is okay.
Speaker 7: Look in my notebook, I write, I have a note
Speaker 7: Will you give me such a media?
Speaker 4: I'm not just why.
Speaker 1: What are you doing.
Speaker 4: What do they pitch you joke?
Speaker 1: I say it, Yeah, you just like write you go,
Speaker 1: I think you can make a joke about this, and
Speaker 1: then like I would pay you for that stuff.
Speaker 4: Okay, I get out my dictionary.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta do. You should pitch me some jokes
Speaker 2: on the podcast.
Speaker 4: I'll bring it.
Speaker 2: That would be so fun. Yeah, because I would love something.
Speaker 5: I just sometimes I don't think how much one thousand is.
Speaker 6: I mean, that is so.
Speaker 4: Okay, that's obviously I.
Speaker 1: Think.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the joke is.
Speaker 1: I'm a wire was just being exaggerated a hundred.
Speaker 4: I could do it.
Speaker 7: I could see they might be stupid, and then I
Speaker 7: wouldn't have for the next day.
Speaker 2: I think it's similar.
Speaker 1: The only thing about jokes is that songs have to
Speaker 1: have a verse chorus like sometimes pree chorus bridge, like
Speaker 1: it just has so many parts to it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I guess you can write a little jingle.
Speaker 6: He can write jack.
Speaker 1: But I asked Anya, like, do you have to turn in?
Speaker 1: Do you have to turn in like a whole song,
Speaker 1: And she was like, no, sometimes my song's only two
Speaker 1: minute songs. I don't really know what that means, but
Speaker 1: like sometimes she writes shorter songs.
Speaker 4: Good songs are only two minutes. Yeah, I mean Eric
Speaker 4: Clapton really is the master of that?
Speaker 6: What Jimmy really?
Speaker 2: Eric Clapton is the master of yeah songs?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't know name.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, there's no rule, Tom Petty really except that, yeah,
Speaker 1: I have to write a song.
Speaker 5: It's only those who want the rules that truly succeed
Speaker 5: is what I'm finding.
Speaker 6: Yet to bend to the rules.
Speaker 5: No, yeah, people who this is this is like the
Speaker 5: theme of Fargo in the first season of Fargo, where
Speaker 5: it's like the main character is following all the rules
Speaker 5: and he's not succeeding, and Billy Bob Thornton's character is
Speaker 5: breaking the rules and getting to do whatever he wants.
Speaker 6: And that's the question.
Speaker 5: It's like, do you if you follow all the rules,
Speaker 5: will you just become this like weak little uh person
Speaker 5: who's taken advantage of And if you break the rules
Speaker 5: just enough with a good moral compass, you wind up succeeding.
Speaker 5: This is why people who are narcissists, they just steamroll
Speaker 5: and become the precess.
Speaker 1: They don't have that self doubt. Yes, yeah, it's true.
Speaker 1: It's kind of goes into this. Did you see that
Speaker 1: clip going around some a best. He sent it to
Speaker 1: me and said, I think you've referenced this, but you
Speaker 1: didn't know who it was, but I believe I don't
Speaker 1: know whatever it is is. It was Rick Rubin talking
Speaker 1: to Oh, I.
Speaker 2: Sent it to you.
Speaker 1: You sent it to me to a bunch of people,
Speaker 1: did too, like or you did? And then another person
Speaker 1: and then this other person said, I think this is
Speaker 1: who you're referencing. But it was Rick Rubin talking about
Speaker 1: how you are not supposed to make art for the audience.
Speaker 1: You supposed to make it for yourself, and then that
Speaker 1: will be you don't you shouldn't care what the audience thinks.
Speaker 1: And then I sent it to Chris and was like,
Speaker 1: what are you think about this? Because I think Chris
Speaker 1: is more of the mindset of like there's a little
Speaker 1: of both, like I because there's some jokes in my
Speaker 1: special where I'm like, I like this a lot and
Speaker 1: it makes me laugh, but like it didn't do well.
Speaker 1: I tested it many times. It's not like I just
Speaker 1: asd it that night it did do well, Like it
Speaker 1: hasn't done well? Ever?
Speaker 2: Do I keep it because it brings me joy?
Speaker 1: Like, clearly it's not an the and the audience is
Speaker 1: what you that's how you make money, and you should
Speaker 1: be pleasing them. So I'm kind of I don't know
Speaker 1: how to feel about that.
Speaker 5: And only art you can push it till it's too far.
Speaker 5: Like if someone makes a short film and it's just
Speaker 5: it's their ultimate artistic expression, but you watch it and
Speaker 5: it's just like, this makes no fucking sense.
Speaker 6: It's just a bunch of colors and shapes and.
Speaker 5: There's no dialogue, and it's like, yeah, now you're just
Speaker 5: being obnoxious and pretentious.
Speaker 2: But that's your interpret that's what Rick Rubin was saying.
Speaker 6: That's everyone's interpretation.
Speaker 2: No, everybody, there's someone out there who will like it.
Speaker 6: And there's more than one person.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the odds person audience will find you.
Speaker 5: Fine, that audience, the audience finds you, and then you
Speaker 5: have four total fans.
Speaker 1: Yeah you're There's been so many times where I've thought
Speaker 1: something is so shitty, and I go, this person is
Speaker 1: so proud of themselves for making this choice, and it's
Speaker 1: the wrong choice because it's just even and I'm talking
Speaker 1: about myself, Like watching this edit for my special which
Speaker 1: I just finished doing, the I think the final edit
Speaker 1: on Brian you.
Speaker 2: You gave notes on it too. Thank you so much, Brian.
Speaker 5: I just watched it. Can I just say it is great? Yeah,
Speaker 5: it came out better than I thought it was gonna
Speaker 5: Me too.
Speaker 6: Me too tight. It's tight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the edit was and it looks amazing.
Speaker 1: The edit's really good because we tightened it up. And
Speaker 1: I mean both shows were amazing, and they would be
Speaker 1: so nice to have so much more time and fill
Speaker 1: it up with all the jokes. But do release we
Speaker 1: made it cuts? No, not yet, but hopefully soon. I'll
Speaker 1: tell you as soon as I know for sure. But
Speaker 1: in watching there were parts of it that I was
Speaker 1: so frustrated with yesterday. I like, I finished the edit
Speaker 1: this morning. I woke up really early because yesterday I
Speaker 1: tempted it and I got so bummed out because like,
Speaker 1: at the top of the show, I just was making
Speaker 1: some choices with my performance that I'm just like, why
Speaker 1: did you do that? Why are you being kid like?
Speaker 1: I made some choices where I'd like, I think because.
Speaker 2: I was so overwhelmed.
Speaker 1: I literally almost cried when I walked out because the
Speaker 1: audience was clapping so much and so enthusiastic. I've never
Speaker 1: become emotional from a crowd in my whole life, and
Speaker 1: there's been amazing crowds, but for some reason, that one
Speaker 1: would like hit me like a fucking wall and I
Speaker 1: almost cried. So then I had to like go to
Speaker 1: a place where I was like turn off feelings, and
Speaker 1: so it kind of made the start of the show
Speaker 1: for me to be I seem pretty callous because I'm
Speaker 1: not smiling a lot because I'm trying to. I had
Speaker 1: to shut that off right before I began, because I
Speaker 1: was just like, Jesus Christ, you guys, like I haven't
Speaker 1: even talked yet, You're making me cry without you like
Speaker 1: love me, And so I had to turn that off.
Speaker 1: And then when I go into my jokes, I'm not
Speaker 1: like smiling as much as I usually smile during these jokes,
Speaker 1: so they just seem psychopathic. So I was so mad
Speaker 1: at myself. I'm like, why why are you so cool?
Speaker 1: Like I'm giving a special, I'm not gonna smile. And
Speaker 1: then I realized you did it because you were preserving.
Speaker 1: You didn't want to give, like you were trying your best. Girl,
Speaker 1: You're just trying your best, and you didn't do it
Speaker 1: the way you should have, and you give anything to
Speaker 1: do it. Again, but you can't. And the idea, the
Speaker 1: fact that I know I fucked up is something.
Speaker 4: I didn't notice.
Speaker 6: You learn from you.
Speaker 2: Now you'll notice because I called it out.
Speaker 1: But I swear to God, I want everyone don't don't
Speaker 1: read into that too much. If you're like, she seems
Speaker 1: like a bitch up to the top, it's because I
Speaker 1: was overwhelmed by feelings and I shut them off for
Speaker 1: a little bit, and then I let it back in
Speaker 1: and then I start smiling more throughout the special because
Speaker 1: as I'm watching those, I'm like, no one likes a
Speaker 1: girl who doesn't smile, Like you got to be a
Speaker 1: likable woman.
Speaker 2: You gotta smile more.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you.
Speaker 6: Gotta take that construction workers advice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, all of these construction workers who care so much.
Speaker 5: Yes, you know it's best for the Nikki Glazer jokes
Speaker 5: that if you take away the sarcasm and the smile,
Speaker 5: she becomes a mine.
Speaker 6: Compe friends.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not only that you should get like you should
Speaker 1: kill their pregnant. Yes, there's some psychotic message. So wild
Speaker 1: Annie watched the cut before this one, and she even said.
Speaker 2: Like, hey, maybe you can take out this one joke
Speaker 2: just to like soften.
Speaker 1: It a little bit. And I hadn't seen it, like
Speaker 1: I hadn't really paid attention yet at this point, and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh no. So as I'm watching it,
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I see what she's talking about. Like
Speaker 1: this is so if you don't know who I am,
Speaker 1: this is your first intro to who I am. It's
Speaker 1: really jarring. And so I just want to warn everyone
Speaker 1: to just stick with it a little bit. The jokes
Speaker 1: are good, but I'm not smiling, so they seem a
Speaker 1: little insane. But the special did turn out great, but
Speaker 1: there was just so many moments of like why did
Speaker 1: you do that? Like to and I felt that way
Speaker 1: about other artists, like why did you do that? And
Speaker 1: so to feel about it about yourself, you kind of
Speaker 1: realize everyone's just trying their fucking best, and sometimes Camrah
Speaker 1: I get so many Camra moments, but I feel so
Speaker 1: accomplished that I'm.
Speaker 2: Done editing is hell.
Speaker 1: I I think it's the worst time of my life.
Speaker 2: It just everything feels unbalanced.
Speaker 1: I think it's the absolute It's it's like being pregnant
Speaker 1: in your last month.
Speaker 2: Noah, Like, is that what's the hardest month for people?
Speaker 2: Last month?
Speaker 4: I wouldn't know.
Speaker 1: No, But I mean, like you've done your research, like
Speaker 1: you know what you're in for. What what do people say? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess because they just wanted to be over. Yes,
Speaker 1: And it's uncomfortable and you don't like the way you
Speaker 1: look or feel like like I don't mean to, I'm
Speaker 1: just trying to compare it to something I've heard is
Speaker 1: like just always is going to be bad. And for me,
Speaker 1: before I give birth to a special, I have to
Speaker 1: edit it and I hate it because you can't go
Speaker 1: back and change it. You gotta deal with what you
Speaker 1: already did. There's nothing you can do to change it. Nothing.
Speaker 2: There's nothing I can do to go back and retake
Speaker 2: a senior in high school.
Speaker 4: Senior itis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you don't have to edit itis.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to also encapsulate the having to look at
Speaker 1: yourself and realize you're a failure in all the ways.
Speaker 5: Look at it with a fine detail, and cut out
Speaker 5: anything that's possibly going to make the special worse.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: And oh no, I haven't even looked at the pictures
Speaker 1: for the new podcast logo yet because I can't look
Speaker 1: at myself in any other way yet. I did a
Speaker 1: photo shoot a month ago, and I have not posted
Speaker 1: any of the photos or looked at a single one
Speaker 1: because I've just been I just don't want to look
Speaker 1: at myself right now.
Speaker 2: It's too much. But then you reach you get this
Speaker 2: over this hump where if.
Speaker 1: You watch yourself enough you start to think of them
Speaker 1: as someone else, and then it gets easier. But then
Speaker 1: it's just I'm just so glad it's over, and I'm
Speaker 1: so glad I like it, and it always gets to
Speaker 1: be this way, So look forward to that. It's coming
Speaker 1: out this year at some point, and then it's on
Speaker 1: to the next one, and which I want to talk
Speaker 1: about a bit. I started writing this morning when we
Speaker 1: get back after this, because I'm watching.
Speaker 2: You a material.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm working on the new hour of Stand
Speaker 1: up or like just new jokes, and I was thinking
Speaker 1: about this moment I had with this young girl. I
Speaker 1: was doing this podcast George Jenko is that is, yes,
Speaker 1: George Jenko's podcast, and his girlfriend's this young hot girl.
Speaker 6: Jean Guy. Jean Guy, Yeah, oh.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jacob Jean's he would look at some of those,
Speaker 1: but he's just a Jeanie's guy. He's so he's so great.
Speaker 1: I didn't know what I was in for when I
Speaker 1: went in. But he has this beautiful girlfriend who he's
Speaker 1: now engaged to. But she was talking about being worried
Speaker 1: about a woman following her around a store and she
Speaker 1: thought she was being trafficked. And I realized that that's
Speaker 1: just never a fear I've ever had, like.
Speaker 4: During like like sex trafficked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I should have feared it when I
Speaker 2: was younger.
Speaker 4: That's what it is. They just follow you, like, yeah,
Speaker 4: they traffic.
Speaker 2: They Juliane Maxwell you, but they just and then they steal.
Speaker 2: They find a way to steal you.
Speaker 1: They track you, they study you, they they kind of
Speaker 1: they video the videotape. This guy girl was filming her
Speaker 1: oldest girl. She's the early twenties. Oh okay, and so
Speaker 1: but I remember her saying this and me being like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I've never i never worried about being trafficked.
Speaker 1: And I'm past the trafficking age, like I'm out of it.
Speaker 1: Well maybe to like clean someone's home or something to
Speaker 1: raise their kids, but like, I'm.
Speaker 6: Not getting trafficked for sex, because.
Speaker 2: Oh that's good, thank god.
Speaker 1: Bit there.
Speaker 4: But I don't encourage people, no.
Speaker 1: Please, and no one's gonna pay that I don't good press. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I thought that was a funny thing to hear,
Speaker 1: A new fear that I could have felt when I
Speaker 1: was in my early twenties. But I didn't fear that
Speaker 1: because it wasn't as prevalent or known about, you know,
Speaker 1: like being trafficked wasn't something people talked about average. There
Speaker 1: weren't signs on every bathroom at bathroom door saying like
Speaker 1: when are you being traffic It's always just like a
Speaker 1: depressed girl covering They cover her ethnicity, even though we know.
Speaker 4: She has a hoodie.
Speaker 1: Always oh yeah, yeah, yeah, she's got a hoodie, and
Speaker 1: they I really hope that helps some people. And I
Speaker 1: try to look out for girls being trafficked, but you do, yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's like usually a girl who's kind of scared,
Speaker 1: not dressed right for the weather, is what they say.
Speaker 7: Why would she be in an airport? They're really flying
Speaker 7: them on like a cocial plane.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, and they're not going they're not going like help.
Speaker 2: Ever they do.
Speaker 1: They have hand signals that they can do to flight
Speaker 1: attendants are like trained to look for these certain Wow,
Speaker 1: almost did the white power hand signal?
Speaker 4: But you know that what is it.
Speaker 2: No, it's some kind of.
Speaker 1: Hand signal that a girl can and all the flight
Speaker 1: attendants are now trained to know what that is. But
Speaker 1: you're supposed to look with like a shady guy or
Speaker 1: shady woman with a scared girl.
Speaker 5: And if the girl the signals you make, you make
Speaker 5: the white power symbol and then you go the Jews
Speaker 5: will not replace us. And that's the signal to the
Speaker 5: flight attendant that you you're being sex trafficked.
Speaker 1: That's what they're doing when they say that.
Speaker 6: Those guys were all being sex trafficked.
Speaker 2: Malicious at all this whole time.
Speaker 7: Why don't the women know the women with them know
Speaker 7: the signal?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my question.
Speaker 1: Or you just probably do, but you just do it
Speaker 1: when they're not looking. They can't look at you all
Speaker 1: the time. There's always going to be a time where
Speaker 1: they might write and it's.
Speaker 3: They're going to have to piss so but how do
Speaker 3: the victims know how to do it? Where do they
Speaker 3: learn it?
Speaker 5: I listened to a podcast about a woman who escaped
Speaker 5: being sex trafficked and she kind of just over time
Speaker 5: picked it up via message boards and just you.
Speaker 4: Know, they're shares the message boards.
Speaker 5: You get to the library somehow, you get on a computer,
Speaker 5: you start figuring out like what can I do to
Speaker 5: get out of this?
Speaker 1: Also, get left in rooms alone with other girls being
Speaker 1: trafficked a lot. You spend a lot of your time.
Speaker 1: From what I've read about it, I've watched those YouTube
Speaker 1: videos of like the Soft Underbelly I think is what
Speaker 1: they're called, and it was a girl that had been
Speaker 1: sex trafficked and she just spends They spent all day
Speaker 1: in motel rooms just waiting, and then they run out
Speaker 1: another motel room and you just go to that motel
Speaker 1: room and fuck John's that your pimp has brought in
Speaker 1: for you, and you're your John eventually has to go
Speaker 1: and get lunch or whatever, and so you can kind
Speaker 1: of talk to the other girls, and there's there's little ways.
Speaker 2: But man, also they probably have Stockholm syndrome where it's
Speaker 2: hard to leave you.
Speaker 7: Sure, but if they're on if they are gonna do
Speaker 7: the symbol, and they're on the internet, then why don't
Speaker 7: they just reach out to someone on the internet.
Speaker 4: That's what I'm asking Stockholm.
Speaker 6: But will also have a fear that they killed, they'll
Speaker 6: get the shit out of you.
Speaker 7: Okay, yes, then that's not the same people looking at
Speaker 7: the symbol, then what do you mean? Because if they're
Speaker 7: willing to do the symbol on an airplane to get
Speaker 7: to save themselves, okay, why aren't they willing to just
Speaker 7: go on the internet and say.
Speaker 2: Save me because they don't have access to the internet.
Speaker 4: But that's how they learned the symbol.
Speaker 5: I thought it makes February or something like that to
Speaker 5: get access to the internet. But if they found out
Speaker 5: that you tried to be saved on the Internet, they'll
Speaker 5: just beat the shit out of you or kill you.
Speaker 5: And if you're on an airplane, it's like a public
Speaker 5: spot and like you might be able to get away
Speaker 5: with it.
Speaker 6: That might be the thought process there, Like if.
Speaker 5: I can get out right now on this plane where
Speaker 5: everyone's around, they're not going to kill me.
Speaker 3: Not like a certain symbol, but maybe the flight attendants
Speaker 3: and whoever is trained to look for certain marks on
Speaker 3: the body or like just a certain body language.
Speaker 6: I thought that's what the bottom was. Would you press.
Speaker 1: Yes the person I have I've just mouthed help to
Speaker 1: a flight attendant, but it's because the guy next to
Speaker 1: me is listening to his Wait, didn't you.
Speaker 2: Have a guy like sleep on you on the plane
Speaker 2: or something.
Speaker 1: He was just I filmed it and it looked way
Speaker 1: worse than it was. Everyone was like, holy shit, what's
Speaker 1: happening here? He was leaning to talk to the person
Speaker 1: behind him, but he was leaning into my seat. So
Speaker 1: it only lasted as long as you saw me film
Speaker 1: it for. But people were like, if this is happening.
Speaker 1: It was still annoying, and it was funny to capture,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't the whole time, and I absolutely would
Speaker 1: have called it out had it been. Yes, So, but
Speaker 1: you know about this Elizabeth, like Elizabeth Smart when she
Speaker 1: was captured, she went to parties right stuck on.
Speaker 2: Like under him.
Speaker 7: I was just saying, I don't think they're like going
Speaker 7: to the library and learning the symbol there.
Speaker 2: No, I don't think they are either.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: We got to get the more.
Speaker 4: Everyone more what they're allowed to do.
Speaker 2: I think I already said this on the show.
Speaker 3: But I used to work in trucking radio and a
Speaker 3: lot of sex trafficking would be witnessed at truck stops.
Speaker 3: So there was this organization of women truckers who created
Speaker 3: these chapsticks, and in the cap of the chaps they
Speaker 3: would give it to girls in the bathroom who they
Speaker 3: would feel like are victims, Like they would notice things
Speaker 3: about them because you know, there's showers.
Speaker 4: And your lips look gross. Here you go.
Speaker 3: So they would give them an inside of the cap
Speaker 3: there was like a number like or like a message,
Speaker 3: need help give this signal or something like that, and
Speaker 3: it would be hidden inside the cap so the men
Speaker 3: wouldn't know.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, that's insane that we have to do
Speaker 7: stuff like that as humans.
Speaker 4: But that's cool.
Speaker 5: There's a Bree Larson movie. What was that movie called Room? Yes,
Speaker 5: it's one of those tense movies of all time.
Speaker 6: I mean that that. Go watch her. Before Brie Larson
Speaker 6: became Missus Marvel.
Speaker 1: She was Amy Schumer's sister in train Wreck, the movie
Speaker 1: I was in. Oh my god, you I was a
Speaker 1: scene with her. Well, now we were at the same
Speaker 1: party in a scene, but I don't think I acted
Speaker 1: with her. But yeah, we went out to lunch during
Speaker 1: that time too.
Speaker 6: Oh my god. Wow, she's very nice.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that that movie Room where she's kept in
Speaker 1: a in a room.
Speaker 6: With her son, with her son, and then she gets.
Speaker 1: And the guy ipregnates her, right like the kidnapper is
Speaker 1: the one that impregnates her.
Speaker 5: Right potentially, Yeah, and it's just it's so tense. I
Speaker 5: can't believe they're able to ratchet up.
Speaker 2: I read that, but I don't think I wanted to
Speaker 2: see that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it was really good. But the tension, it's
Speaker 5: like you ever see Uncut Gems?
Speaker 2: No, because I've heard about the tension.
Speaker 5: There's a few movies that are just so tense, and
Speaker 5: then the release of tension you think would be relieving,
Speaker 5: but it's almost like I got not Like when the
Speaker 5: tension gets released in Uncut Gems, it's almost like that
Speaker 5: tension just follows you for the rest of your life.
Speaker 6: Now you cannot it will.
Speaker 2: What about It Follows? Have you ever heard about the
Speaker 2: plot of that?
Speaker 6: I love it Follows.
Speaker 5: It Follows is maybe one of the only horror movies
Speaker 5: that I actually would rewatch.
Speaker 1: Wait what about the scene? I don't even I've never
Speaker 1: seen it. But I was reading on a Reddit thread
Speaker 1: the other day it was like, what are the what
Speaker 1: screen screencrab the scariest moments in movies for you?
Speaker 2: And so people were just posting.
Speaker 1: Just like a screenshot of like these, like you know,
Speaker 1: when a face suddenly appears in a doorway, and there
Speaker 1: was one from it follows where a tall man was
Speaker 1: in a house and it is so creepy, and a
Speaker 1: lot of it follows because it's like, there's this thing
Speaker 1: that is always walking to you to kill you, and
Speaker 1: you can and it is always walking at like a
Speaker 1: walking pace, so you can run from it your whole life,
Speaker 1: but it will always be walking to you and will
Speaker 1: always find you. So you've got to keep going, which
Speaker 1: is really not that hard to do. But this, yeah, John,
Speaker 1: like a giant John Lennon, I hate it. Is that
Speaker 1: such a scary scene, Brian, what happens?
Speaker 7: Oh my god, I got the nipples are so hard.
Speaker 4: I hate that.
Speaker 5: That's actually that that guy is not scary. That is
Speaker 5: actually Tony Hawk and they're about to go skateboarding. The
Speaker 5: monster comes later. It follows as a it's uh, it's
Speaker 5: a parable about urging sexuality and the monster is.
Speaker 4: Gay.
Speaker 5: The monster is basically like your sexuality and the fears
Speaker 5: and dangers that come with it because it is the
Speaker 5: monster itself is actually a sexually transmitted disease.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have sex with someone and then the monster
Speaker 1: will start chasing them until they die, and then it
Speaker 1: goes back.
Speaker 4: To Christian Scirity, you can just.
Speaker 1: You fuck people to get the monster off chasing you,
Speaker 1: but then the monster eventually gets them and then they
Speaker 1: comes back to.
Speaker 4: Get So it follows studded at sex.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but it's not for you never to have sex.
Speaker 5: It's telling you that, like your loss of innocence, it's
Speaker 5: basically like a symbol symbolism of your loss of innocence
Speaker 5: and entering this new world where you are now a
Speaker 5: sexual being that it's more like an act.
Speaker 7: Me.
Speaker 2: You didn't feel different after you lost your virginity. You
Speaker 2: weren't like the worlds.
Speaker 4: I was like, I'm cool, but I was years old,
Speaker 4: so I was twenty.
Speaker 1: One, and I felt like I remember eating an omelet
Speaker 1: and being like, this is like the first omelet, as
Speaker 1: like an a doll.
Speaker 2: It was like right after and we were barely talking.
Speaker 1: We had nothing to talk about after we had sex
Speaker 1: because he was regretting it because he had a girlfriend,
Speaker 1: and I could just tell everything is shifted. It was
Speaker 1: the first time that I felt talk about It follows
Speaker 1: you follow sex, men being weird, men getting changing so much,
Speaker 1: men suddenly not being able to hold conversation, men suddenly
Speaker 1: like not really wanting to talk to you anymore, not
Speaker 1: really having anything to say, suddenly regretting everything they did,
Speaker 1: just did. That was what it followed for me after that.
Speaker 1: I just remember being like, this guy isn't like cool
Speaker 1: to me anymore.
Speaker 7: Standing in a doorway facing you, Yeah, doorway, turning to
Speaker 7: get out, but.
Speaker 1: Instead of running from it, I like ran towards it.
Speaker 1: That that terrifying change. Okay, so it fallows. I love that.
Speaker 2: You love that movie?
Speaker 1: Is it? But it's so scary, right, Like, I don't
Speaker 1: think I can handle something, you know what? The idea
Speaker 1: is creeping at me slowly, yeah, fucking instead of running, No,
Speaker 1: walking so much scarier running.
Speaker 6: They're always walked in that well.
Speaker 5: And like most classic movies, the monster like either can
Speaker 5: can like space jump and all of a sudden it's
Speaker 5: right in front of you when it was just across
Speaker 5: the room or the.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like ing or scared scattering the wall. Like the
Speaker 1: other scene is the movie Hereditary. There was a screenshot
Speaker 1: of it and she's in the corner of the wall
Speaker 1: and you can barely see her because it's so dark.
Speaker 1: You really you have to like really look and you go,
Speaker 1: oh my god, what the fuck is up? There. It's
Speaker 1: so creaty. I wouldn't see the Mireditary is the one
Speaker 1: is the movie that, like everyone says, is the most
Speaker 1: scarring insane.
Speaker 6: Have you seen that, Brian, No, I haven't seen her.
Speaker 6: I talked about watch it.
Speaker 2: No, it's it's traumatic, Okay.
Speaker 4: I know. Is the scariest thing I ever saw.
Speaker 7: That made me like I slept with my sister that night,
Speaker 7: which has never happened event Horizon.
Speaker 1: Wait, why.
Speaker 4: It's a ship that goes to head like a spaceship.
Speaker 4: You've never seen it?
Speaker 7: Oh my god, it's so scary. They like recover the
Speaker 7: like tapes from the spaceship. I remember the part that
Speaker 7: was the worst is they just the ship disappears and
Speaker 7: someone has to go find it. They find the ship,
Speaker 7: the crew is not on it, but there's like blood
Speaker 7: and stuff. Everyone like, okay, what happened people?
Speaker 4: One guy's like pulling his intestines. I was not, like,
Speaker 4: well no, people are like like chopping each other up.
Speaker 7: But then when he's on the ship, like he's hallucinating.
Speaker 7: So the lights are going on and off, and then
Speaker 7: this woman is just facing him. That's his like wife
Speaker 7: that killed herself or whatever.
Speaker 2: Oh so when the lights go off, so it gets
Speaker 2: closer as they've.
Speaker 7: Got so many shots of like, yes, that kind of
Speaker 7: oh my god.
Speaker 1: Creepy little things like even the Blair Witch at the
Speaker 1: very end where the guys just him facing the wall.
Speaker 1: There's there's nothing you see, but it's just like really
Speaker 1: like a thing that's challenging you to find it in
Speaker 1: the thing, and like it's there's a subred of like
Speaker 1: when you see it or whatever you like.
Speaker 5: For the days, some of those things are so stupid.
Speaker 5: Like I was watching I think it was like Insidious
Speaker 5: two or some something, and it was like there were
Speaker 5: this this woman was in an attic or a basement
Speaker 5: and it was pitch black. I don't know why she
Speaker 5: went down there, but she decided to go into the
Speaker 5: pitch back placement laundry. She was doing her laundry and
Speaker 5: she had to uh, she couldn't see anything, but there
Speaker 5: was a chance there was a monster down there, and
Speaker 5: so at some point she took out a match and
Speaker 5: she lit the mask, and then of course the monster
Speaker 5: was right there facing her. And I think that's just
Speaker 5: so stupid because that means that like the monster was
Speaker 5: just sitting there waiting.
Speaker 6: I can't wait till she likes this match.
Speaker 5: When she she's gonna be so scared when she sees
Speaker 5: something close to you day and then.
Speaker 7: She's walking and he's backing up to be face to
Speaker 7: face with her, like stumbling over like trash that's in
Speaker 7: the base, like the Lawndowers pitch silently.
Speaker 5: If you think, if you want scary movies to be
Speaker 5: less scary, just start thinking about all the prep and
Speaker 5: set up that the monster had to do to make
Speaker 5: this movement happen.
Speaker 4: The monster really works hard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like to get on her bed.
Speaker 1: So they have to like clean are out all the
Speaker 1: clutter and like putting somewhere else there.
Speaker 4: And be like they can't fart, burp or anything.
Speaker 5: Like imagine the guy from the moving like he has
Speaker 5: to go to home depot. You got to get a
Speaker 5: hook from somewhere. You guys have a hook, you know.
Speaker 4: He's like.
Speaker 1: Just picture them eating lunch, Like the guy from Saw
Speaker 1: had to like stop building a contraption, so he did,
Speaker 1: like make a turkey sandwich salad.
Speaker 6: My standwich was supposed to be here five minutes ago.
Speaker 7: Picture like just horny, but it's like I can't I
Speaker 7: can't do anything about it right now.
Speaker 1: Like Waldreins.
Speaker 2: That takes away some of the fear.
Speaker 1: I think the scariest movie that scarred me the most
Speaker 1: was in eighth grade when Missus Cannon stupidly showed us
Speaker 1: The Day After Tomorrow.
Speaker 4: I've never seen it, but I've heard you talk about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I've talked about it before.
Speaker 1: But it was like this apocalyptic movie about what if
Speaker 1: there was a nuclear war and it was all set
Speaker 1: in Lawrence, Kansas, I guess, which I didn't even know
Speaker 1: I would end up going to college there. It was
Speaker 1: eighth grade, but we were reading this book called Z
Speaker 1: for Zachariah about the end of the world, like a
Speaker 1: nuclear apocalypse, and she was like, this would be appropriate
Speaker 1: to show them to tie into this book. And it
Speaker 1: was so just like the idea that this thing could
Speaker 1: hit and then we all are just like skeletons, Like hey,
Speaker 1: like it would flash and then you would be these
Speaker 1: kids like playing baseball and they would just go ring
Speaker 1: and it would be like an X ray of them
Speaker 1: and they're like ring and that. For whatever reason, that
Speaker 1: was so scary to me, like just seeing people in
Speaker 1: their everyday lives become skeletons. And I couldn't sleep and
Speaker 1: I had so much fear, and it was probably the
Speaker 1: most scared I've ever been as a kid for an
Speaker 1: extended period. And then I always tell the story, but
Speaker 1: I remember so distinctly going down to my parents' bedroom
Speaker 1: to sleep on their floor for the probably twentieth time
Speaker 1: that month, like I spent, I slept on my parents' floor.
Speaker 1: I would pull out this gymnastic mac from under the bed.
Speaker 1: The monster would be there. I'd say, excuse me, can
Speaker 1: I get this mat? And I would pull out the
Speaker 1: mat and I would unfold it and sadly make my bed,
Speaker 1: and I really remember, how is that the first time
Speaker 1: in my life I was like, you gotta get it together, Niki,
Speaker 1: Like this isn't gonna las. You have to quit this,
Speaker 1: Like it was my I've quit so many things in
Speaker 1: my life and had that moment of like, this isn't
Speaker 1: working for you, this isn't manageable you you gotta quit this.
Speaker 1: And that was the I remember pulling out that mattress.
Speaker 2: It was so sad.
Speaker 1: It was like having a drink after you've been sober
Speaker 1: for a bit, Like I would like, you know, be
Speaker 1: able to sleep in my room for a week.
Speaker 2: And then I quote down like, can I sleep with you?
Speaker 1: Unfold the map, make the bed, and I went down
Speaker 1: the final time I ever went down.
Speaker 2: I opened the door.
Speaker 1: And I said, I'm scared, and my dad goes, of
Speaker 1: what and they're like asleep, and I would go nuclear war,
Speaker 1: and my dad just goes, what and I go, I'm
Speaker 1: just scared, Like any second it could just like happen.
Speaker 1: There's no morning, there's no light, sirens or anything like,
Speaker 1: it just will like skeletons and skeletons. Yeah, he just
Speaker 1: called ears so much, which was the simplest thing. He
Speaker 1: just said, Nikki, there is literally nothing you can do
Speaker 1: about it. And I was just like, and I remember
Speaker 1: thinking that he goes, what are what? What can you do?
Speaker 1: What are you going to do?
Speaker 2: Like this is a guy that lived with their parents
Speaker 2: in the sixties, you know, like.
Speaker 1: Bay of Pigs, nuclear like he's he had run this
Speaker 1: one through, I could tell.
Speaker 6: And that was just the dating scene.
Speaker 1: He had lived through this fear of like the world ending,
Speaker 1: and there it's true, there's nothing you can do, and
Speaker 1: it really made me. I just remember shutting the door
Speaker 1: and being like, I can live now because I don't
Speaker 1: I'm not responsible for this anymore.
Speaker 2: And it was.
Speaker 1: It was so freeing, and I can't believe that's what
Speaker 1: did it. I would have never thought that was what
Speaker 1: did it.
Speaker 5: But I don't know if that would have comforted me
Speaker 5: as a child because of the need for control.
Speaker 6: I think it. I don't know. I wonder if I
Speaker 6: was that.
Speaker 1: If your parents, the people who know so know everything
Speaker 1: to you, I guess at this point in eighth grade,
Speaker 1: they were starting to learn that they didn't know everything,
Speaker 1: but there's still the authority and they tell you there's
Speaker 1: nothing you can do. It's like, it's my same joke
Speaker 1: about like I like being bondage because I like being
Speaker 1: tied up because someone's like you can't, you can't do anything.
Speaker 1: It's like forced laziness. So like if you can't do anything,
Speaker 1: you don't, you are free to not worry. It was
Speaker 1: like we were talking about the other day where I
Speaker 1: was like, I like knowing that nothing's my fault. I
Speaker 1: forget what we were saying, but there was some comfort
Speaker 1: I took from the adopting thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, knowing thing.
Speaker 1: Maybe it was that, but it was something about not
Speaker 1: feeling responsible.
Speaker 6: First.
Speaker 1: If I if I don't feel responsible, then I can
Speaker 1: just like let go of it and be like it's
Speaker 1: not my problem. That's why I like that phrase, like
Speaker 1: it's none of your business what other people think about you.
Speaker 1: That that works on me when I'm reminded of it,
Speaker 1: because it just cuts right through it of like, okay,
Speaker 1: well now now it's annoying if I care. Now I'm
Speaker 1: like being a little nosy bitch.
Speaker 7: Okay, great, never know anyway, so it's like, why are
Speaker 7: you trying?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I liked that healthier reaction when just letting go,
Speaker 5: like the book you're reading, You've just let go of
Speaker 5: your responsibility. Whereas if that happened to me, I'd probably
Speaker 5: be like, I need to get in touch with Krbachev
Speaker 5: maybe if he just listens to me.
Speaker 6: You know, I write a little letter, but.
Speaker 1: I think I can't even that we can do. He
Speaker 1: was like, are you going to write a letter? Like
Speaker 1: you don't even know where to send it? Like I
Speaker 1: think we kind of every day. I had no idea.
Speaker 1: Even my therapist I remember one time said because I
Speaker 1: was struggling with imposter syndrome. And I know I've said
Speaker 1: this before, so I'm sorry to repeat myself, but she
Speaker 1: I was like, I just feel like i'm fooling everyone,
Speaker 1: And she was like, how dare you think that? So
Speaker 1: you think you're smarter than everyone, So you literally think
Speaker 1: you are so smart that all these smart people you
Speaker 1: tricked them. You're so good. And I was like, as
Speaker 1: soon as she makes it that, I think I'm hot. Shit,
Speaker 1: I don't feel that way. It took it away. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then I like, there's something that soothing about that. Brian,
Speaker 1: you watched the stand up special?
Speaker 5: You said, well, Ree listened because I don't think I'm
Speaker 5: if I'm not mistaken, I don't think there's video of
Speaker 5: this special.
Speaker 6: I think it's simply an album.
Speaker 1: What David l that skanks for the Memories?
Speaker 6: No, but close, Mitch.
Speaker 2: Hedburg, Okay, hold on, let me try to get it.
Speaker 5: Oh that Mitch Hedburg won called it's about corn, ear
Speaker 5: of corn or something.
Speaker 1: God, I don't that's not ringing a bell. But that
Speaker 1: was definitely a Louis c k No. No, okay, well,
Speaker 1: what what was it.
Speaker 6: Brian Reagan standing up his first album?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: Yeah, really that's not on VID.
Speaker 6: I don't think so. I don't.
Speaker 5: I tried to look for it, and it was just
Speaker 5: an album. And I have to say, you got if
Speaker 5: you haven't listened to that album in a while. Listen
Speaker 5: to the first twelve minutes of that album. I don't
Speaker 5: think I've ever heard any recording of anyone crushing harder
Speaker 5: for that long sustained amount of time than the first
Speaker 5: eleven minutes of that album. It is absurd. The people
Speaker 5: and that audience are in hysterics. It's almost like they
Speaker 5: need to leave for their own help. They're laughing so much.
Speaker 5: Every single line is an uproarious laughter. And and I'm
Speaker 5: laughing too.
Speaker 6: I'm not.
Speaker 5: I'm I'm listening to it. And usually if people are
Speaker 5: laughing too much, I'm like.
Speaker 6: Okay, chill.
Speaker 5: This is like, I get why they're laughing this much.
Speaker 5: This is absurd. Just the just the rhythm and the
Speaker 5: amount of jokes and the way he you know, he
Speaker 5: does his like act outs are so funny and he
Speaker 5: just piles on the ta the.
Speaker 2: You two stuff, Yeah, well you two is that the bit.
Speaker 5: And the setups are so simple, because the setups just
Speaker 5: like I'm stupid, and then it's like learning words.
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, so good.
Speaker 1: I agree with you.
Speaker 6: I don't think peace for with geese. What's the ploor
Speaker 6: of for a moose? Mosin? Yes, I fed the mosin
Speaker 6: in the trees and the woods engine and the woods.
Speaker 6: The meats want the food. And then he just switched
Speaker 6: it to me.
Speaker 1: And I remember, I remember seeing him at God where
Speaker 1: was I. I was with Ryan Hamilton. We were at the Beacon.
Speaker 1: We got to go see him. And I remember nearly
Speaker 1: falling out of my chair, which has never happened to
Speaker 1: me at a comedy show. But I remember because he
Speaker 1: was talking with the word cabinet, we have to I
Speaker 1: don't even know. I couldn't even repeat any of what
Speaker 1: he was saying about it, but just the idea that
Speaker 1: it's cabinet, capbinet, like we have to do that. It's
Speaker 1: so fun He's just a cabinet, like, it's cabinet, Like
Speaker 1: why do we smell it the way? It was so funny.
Speaker 1: And then he I remember almost falling, and which is rarely,
Speaker 1: rarely happened to me. I think it's only happened to
Speaker 1: me like when laughing with friends. I don't think a
Speaker 1: comedian has ever made me nearly fall out of my chair.
Speaker 1: But he's he's he's one of the greatest of all time.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: No, the question I keep telling Alie, I keeped like
Speaker 5: you know she wasn't a huge stand up fan before
Speaker 5: she met me. And I keep like showing your comedians
Speaker 5: and I go, oh, this person is like the greatest
Speaker 5: comedian of all time. And she says, Brian, you say
Speaker 5: that about every comedian. Yeah, and it's like, well, no,
Speaker 5: I say that about there's like thirty of them. And
Speaker 5: I keep showing you those guys over and over again.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Okay, well who's who's who? Are you putting your
Speaker 1: top five right now?
Speaker 6: Let's just do my top five right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't have to be perfect.
Speaker 5: We can amend this, Okay, I'll top five favorite or
Speaker 5: Greatest fall Time Mount.
Speaker 1: Rushmore, Greates of all Time Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 5: Oh, so then you know greatest fall Time Aunt Rushmore
Speaker 5: is different than my favorite. I think it would probably
Speaker 5: be Prior Carlin.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 5: I think luisyk is up there as Chappelle, and I
Speaker 5: don't know Robin Williams top five of all time.
Speaker 2: I'm going to add Burn mulaney to that.
Speaker 6: Oh, but who would you replace? The Mount Rushmore is
Speaker 6: only four.
Speaker 2: Faces I'm making bigger.
Speaker 6: You're gonna expand you're going to intrude further into the
Speaker 6: native land.
Speaker 1: I didn't know what that meant just for I just
Speaker 1: meant it was like in Stone that I just pictured
Speaker 1: these are the greatest men's faces to be in Stone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not well versed in prior, but I just trust
Speaker 1: that he's one of the best, because yeah, Joan Rivers
Speaker 1: is up there, But.
Speaker 5: Like, you gotta give historical significance to some of them too.
Speaker 5: It's just I wouldn't put Lenny Bruce up there because
Speaker 5: I don't think I've ever heard of Lenny Bruce's joke
Speaker 5: that made me actually laugh. But you have to respect
Speaker 5: the fact that he was the first one to start
Speaker 5: really like just talking like a normal person.
Speaker 1: Okay, how did stand up not become something before?
Speaker 7: It?
Speaker 1: Like it's such a new art in terms of the
Speaker 1: history of the sixties. Yeah, and oh okay, so after
Speaker 1: we get to the break, I want to talk about
Speaker 1: my mom and I went on a date last night
Speaker 1: and I saw some of the most talented people in
Speaker 1: the world, and yeah, I won't talk about that well
Speaker 1: right after this. So last night my mom and I
Speaker 1: my mom two days ago was like wrote to me
Speaker 1: and my sister, do you guys want to go see
Speaker 1: Funny Girl at the Fox? Because it's at the Fox's
Speaker 1: Musical and I instantly was like, hell yeah, and my
Speaker 1: mom's like, what you want to go? No way. My
Speaker 1: mom like thinks I don't want to do anything. She
Speaker 1: doesn't understand that. She's like my friend and I like
Speaker 1: hanging out with her. She's so excited. So she bought
Speaker 1: tickets to Funny Girl. I'm guessing when she was drunk,
Speaker 1: because she doesn't ever spend any money on anything. I
Speaker 1: think she maybe had an edible or something when she
Speaker 1: bought this, Like, my mom does not spend money, she
Speaker 1: does not treat herself. But she was like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: see Funny Girl the day after my birthday. It's her
Speaker 1: because it's her favorite movie of all time. And so
Speaker 1: we went last night, and oh my god, the girl
Speaker 1: that played Fanny Brice is.
Speaker 2: Her name is.
Speaker 1: Katrina mc crimin McCrimmon. And I think she's the best
Speaker 1: thinger I've ever heard live in my life. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was insane. I can not believe this talent. I
Speaker 1: think she's the best singer i've I just I wrote
Speaker 1: her on Instagram and I felt bad saying the best
Speaker 1: singer I've ever heard live, But I just I can't
Speaker 1: confirm that I haven't heard better on audio, but I
Speaker 1: knew live.
Speaker 2: This was like it was just perfect. She was so good.
Speaker 1: And we were sitting kind of far away because my
Speaker 1: mom bought the tickets and so it was I couldn't
Speaker 1: see how old she was the whole movie.
Speaker 2: But then Fanny Bryce was so.
Speaker 4: Like, dig yeah.
Speaker 1: I was like me by them next time. I like,
Speaker 1: I want to be all to see faces. But she's
Speaker 1: twenty five years oldest girl, and she fucking nails it.
Speaker 2: And we just can't even believe how good.
Speaker 1: She is, my mom and I and we're walking out
Speaker 1: and we're like, oh my god, like that's one of
Speaker 1: the most talented people I've ever seen in my life, singing, dancing, acting,
Speaker 1: just funny, just just able to belt and lower register,
Speaker 1: higher register.
Speaker 2: She just it was so impressive.
Speaker 1: And then we were leaving and I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: I have to say, like my mom, go, how is
Speaker 1: she just on this like little regional? Like it's not little,
Speaker 1: I mean, the Fox is a big place, but how
Speaker 1: is this just not the Broadway? How is she not
Speaker 1: so famous? And I was like, because unfortunately, there are
Speaker 1: a lot of people who can do that, and I
Speaker 1: know it doesn't seem like there's a lot of people
Speaker 1: that can do it, because yeah, it is an extraordinary talent,
Speaker 1: but there are a lot of singers in the world,
Speaker 1: and based on my just training and stuff, like, I
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of people that can sing that good.
Speaker 1: Not I think she's exceptional even for how good she is.
Speaker 1: But it's true like singing and dancing, and there's lots
Speaker 1: of people doing it. It's very competitive. There's not as
Speaker 1: many rules comedy, there's lots of people doing it. I
Speaker 1: really am glad I selected something that less people do.
Speaker 7: And also there's more of a like if you can sing,
Speaker 7: you can sing. It's more like there's lots of different
Speaker 7: ways to be funny. I know there's lots of different
Speaker 7: ways to sing, but like there's lots of different levels
Speaker 7: of talent.
Speaker 2: Yes, I think overall.
Speaker 5: Though, there's just too many people pursuing art. And you know,
Speaker 5: we grew up.
Speaker 4: In a society stop everyone.
Speaker 5: Where everyone has like pretty much the comforts of existence.
Speaker 5: They don't have to, you know, do much, and then
Speaker 5: the boomers told all of the millennials that they could
Speaker 5: be whatever they want to be when they grow up.
Speaker 5: And so now we have just a glut of people
Speaker 5: who are pursuing their passion and their dreams, and it's
Speaker 5: like just I just want there to be about half.
Speaker 1: But there are because they eventually fall away because they're
Speaker 1: not going to ever make it and they can't sustain
Speaker 1: doing these open mics forever and trying, and so they
Speaker 1: fall off either because they're unlucky because they're they were
Speaker 1: born talented, or they just don't work hard enough for
Speaker 1: whatever they or they just have no luck and they're
Speaker 1: the most talented, which doesn't really happen that often. If
Speaker 1: you're talented enough, you'll find a way, I think, and
Speaker 1: if you work hard enough. But it is. There was
Speaker 1: a guy in the show that was so good at
Speaker 1: tap dancing, and I was like, this guy is more
Speaker 1: hours into tap dancing than I haven't sleeping, Like he
Speaker 1: is so good at tap dancing, but what a very weird.
Speaker 4: Skill to hasp so old timing.
Speaker 1: It was so incredible to watch, but it was just like,
Speaker 1: what a funny thing to be great at.
Speaker 5: Second always baffles me when someone is so good. It's
Speaker 5: something that like there's maybe a grand total of a
Speaker 5: thousand fans in the world.
Speaker 7: And like twenty five different steps like tap dancing doesn't
Speaker 7: have like a lot of defeat have to be on
Speaker 7: the floor a lot, so you can't do.
Speaker 4: Many different things. You have to constantly be doing this.
Speaker 1: It was so good.
Speaker 2: Percussionist, Yes, absolutely, drums.
Speaker 1: With your feet. It totally is that. No, it was incredible.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no question these people are infinitely more
Speaker 1: talented than than I am in my field. I really
Speaker 1: truly believe that, Like, I don't have to be this
Speaker 1: good at what I do to make it because there
Speaker 1: aren't as many of us. So it's like, I'm I'm great.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say that I'm not. And I work
Speaker 1: really hard. But if if comedy were as popular as
Speaker 1: singing and dancing is, and people started when they're like
Speaker 1: four or five, or I think this girl started when
Speaker 1: she was eight, it would be much more competitive and
Speaker 1: you probably wouldn't know my name, is all I'm saying. Like,
Speaker 1: and I had to explain that to my mom, and like,
Speaker 1: you should be so glad I didn't choose musical theater
Speaker 1: because I even if I was amazing, it would be
Speaker 1: so hard to break through because there's so many people
Speaker 1: that are amazing. Because there is there's places to go
Speaker 1: and learn early. You can't start stand up till you're
Speaker 1: an adult.
Speaker 5: No parent like parents are like encouraging their kids to
Speaker 5: become good singers, and there's no there's very few parents
Speaker 5: who are encouraging their eight year olds to pursue stand
Speaker 5: up comedy.
Speaker 1: And if they are, if they wanted to be stand
Speaker 1: up comics, and therefore your kid does not have the same.
Speaker 1: Your kid only is gonna be a stand up comic if
Speaker 1: you neglect them in.
Speaker 3: A weird, you know, very specific way, have low self esteem,
Speaker 3: have depression.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I'm gonna go out on a limb hear
Speaker 5: and say, if you start stand up when you're eight
Speaker 5: years old, you will never be funny.
Speaker 6: No, because never be funny.
Speaker 2: You're doing stand up because you like jokes.
Speaker 1: Like, it's rare that kids, it's rare that you find
Speaker 1: stand ups that are like I always knew I was
Speaker 1: going to be stand up when I was a kid.
Speaker 2: It's not rare.
Speaker 1: But I'd say, it's half of us, and I think
Speaker 1: the other half are just like, oh yeah, like I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't think about it until it was like time
Speaker 1: to do it.
Speaker 7: Kids don't even understand jokes until they're like between six
Speaker 7: or eight, because they don't understand symbolism yet. There's no
Speaker 7: way for children to metaphors. Yeah, they think concretely, so
Speaker 7: they can't understand metaphor. So there's like no way to
Speaker 7: start early. And that's why you hear like kids saying
Speaker 7: jokes and they parents are laughing, like kids say the
Speaker 7: darnis things or whatever, or like TV shows, Yeah, kind
Speaker 7: of being like this, and I have to be prompted,
Speaker 7: and you can tell they don't really understand it.
Speaker 1: No, there's nothing funnier than the kid reading his dad's jokes.
Speaker 1: That's all you get when there's kids doing comedies, the
Speaker 1: least interesting thing ever, there's not. There's no funny kids
Speaker 1: except Ava Ryan, whose mom filmed her. You can Katie
Speaker 1: Ryan on Instagram is the funniest child. Ava Ryan is
Speaker 1: her daughter. But Katie Ryan is the mom and she's
Speaker 1: the funniest little girl ever, and she is trying to
Speaker 1: be funny, So there is an exception to it. And
Speaker 1: I also want to say soul.
Speaker 2: She has an old soul. That's it.
Speaker 4: There's no way around to that for that girl.
Speaker 1: I want to say though, I said on a previous
Speaker 1: episode that autistic people aren't funny on purpose. And I
Speaker 1: want to take that back because I've been watching more
Speaker 1: of Love on the Spectrum and they absolutely do understand jokes,
Speaker 1: and but they love.
Speaker 2: Puns, yes, the love they love the puns.
Speaker 1: Like this girl in this episode was asked this guy
Speaker 1: if he wants a big kiss, and he kind of
Speaker 1: like gets like freaked out, and then she.
Speaker 2: Pulls kiss and they like love it and it was
Speaker 2: so cute.
Speaker 1: So I want to say that I misspoke when I
Speaker 1: said that, and I and I might they might also
Speaker 1: understand irony and things like that're.
Speaker 4: Funny without knowing it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: They don't do it on purpose unless it's a pun
Speaker 1: from what I've noticed, but I could be wrong. Final
Speaker 1: thought the movie, the production Funny Girl. I had seen
Speaker 1: the movie before because it's my mom's favorite movie, but
Speaker 1: not because of that. My my actually, my therapist, my
Speaker 1: abusive therapist, doctor abusive recommended, which I want to say,
Speaker 1: by the way, I recommended Michelle Wolf go to my therapist,
Speaker 1: my abusive and she went like twice and was like
Speaker 1: no way, Like she was so odd. She like knew
Speaker 1: early on.
Speaker 2: She was like, I'm not seeing you're still seeing her.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. I dropped her for two, like within
Speaker 1: two sessions, so I was like, God, she's so good.
Speaker 1: Michelle's Michelle knows what to do. Drop fro Yo, drop Donna.
Speaker 1: But so, my abusive therapist told me once during a session,
Speaker 1: she was like, have you ever seen Funny Girl? You
Speaker 1: would relate to that. You should watch that, And I
Speaker 1: was like, that's my mom's favorite movie. I should see it.
Speaker 1: So then I watched it because my therapist told me
Speaker 1: to and it and then I forgot about what I
Speaker 1: learned because that was over ten years ago or about
Speaker 1: ten years ago, and then saw it last night. The
Speaker 1: whole premise of Funny Girl is that women who aren't
Speaker 1: beautiful have to be funny and they don't deserve love
Speaker 1: or fame or success except this one Fanny Bryce. She's
Speaker 1: not beautiful, and the whole first song is like, you're
Speaker 1: not pretty as a girl in Atlantic City. You're pretty,
Speaker 1: You're disgusting, and you will never have success or just
Speaker 1: accept that your life is not gonna be as good
Speaker 1: as if you were pretty, which is kind of the
Speaker 1: premise of my whole special and which I kind of
Speaker 1: like that they were just calling this out. But then
Speaker 1: this girl is like, but I'm funny. So then she's like,
Speaker 1: but I but I'm really talented. So she's really talented.
Speaker 1: She's a really good dancer, really good singer, but she's
Speaker 1: not pretty and she has a flat chest, and so
Speaker 1: they're like, you're never gonna make it, but she turns
Speaker 1: out her talent gets her ahead. So then she gets
Speaker 1: noticed by this like really handsome guy who believes in
Speaker 1: her success, and he's just like dazzled by how talented
Speaker 1: she is. But he's like really handsome and seems to
Speaker 1: be very rich, and he she's just like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this guy likes me. He's so like, obviously, I would
Speaker 1: never think he would even look twice at me. So
Speaker 1: then they both like each other because they both feel
Speaker 1: like they don't deserve each other. He's so enamored by
Speaker 1: how funny she is and how talented that he's like,
Speaker 1: I don't deserve her. And then and he's not that rich.
Speaker 1: Turns out and she becomes very rich and famous, so
Speaker 1: he's just like, I don't deserve her, and she's like
Speaker 1: I don't deserve him because he's so hot, And then
Speaker 1: I don't want to give away the.
Speaker 7: Ending, but he's only hot, but she's famous, talented, funny.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 4: He also oh she thought he was rich.
Speaker 1: Okay, she thought he was rich, and he's just like
Speaker 1: he he comes from like better stock than her. So
Speaker 1: he talked like this, and in the in the movie,
Speaker 1: he's he's like foreign and kind of mysterious, and he
Speaker 1: just like deals. He just dresses better, and he just
Speaker 1: carries himself better. And he was the first one to
Speaker 1: really believe in her. And so she also has that
Speaker 1: where she's trying to keep him around because she's like,
Speaker 1: you gave me everything, and everyone in her life is
Speaker 1: going like what does this guy even give you? And
Speaker 1: she's like you don't understand, like he he I can't
Speaker 1: sing or dance without his belief in me. And and
Speaker 1: I like that The ending isn't what you think it's
Speaker 1: gonna be. But I was watching it like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is like I love that. This is kind of
Speaker 1: my life life a little bit. Like I I was
Speaker 1: talking on the Girl's chat about how we were I
Speaker 1: sent some video about these girls being interviewed about do
Speaker 1: you want to be hotter than your do you want
Speaker 1: to be the catch? Or do they do you want
Speaker 1: them to be the catch, your partner, them to be
Speaker 1: the catch. And most most of the girls were like,
Speaker 1: I want to be the prize. I want him to
Speaker 1: be like so enamored with me. I want to be
Speaker 1: the one that's the prize in the relationship. And most
Speaker 1: of the girls and our girls chat agreed with those girls,
Speaker 1: except I guess you you would rather them be the catch.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so I can get a hottie and so, because
Speaker 7: then I'll know that they must I must be good.
Speaker 1: Yes anyway, yeah, you must be like yes, like it's
Speaker 1: not just your hotness that got them.
Speaker 2: I don't want no, but I do want that.
Speaker 1: But I also want people to go, whoa she's with
Speaker 1: like such a hot person?
Speaker 2: She he could get way hotter than her. She must be.
Speaker 5: To me all the time, every time I introduce Ali
Speaker 5: to someone, people are like, I like you better now
Speaker 5: because I met your wife.
Speaker 1: Your wife is pretty FANTASTICO.
Speaker 7: When I meet guys that their wife's are amazing, then
Speaker 7: I'm like, oh, okay, then there's like kind of no
Speaker 7: way this guy's going to be annoying if I don't
Speaker 7: know them, Yes, they're probably not gonna man explain to
Speaker 7: me today or anything because their wife is cool.
Speaker 1: It's not even like I want the wife to be
Speaker 1: the man to be cool, though, I just want him
Speaker 1: to be like physically, I know this is social. I
Speaker 1: just want people to go, how did she get him?
Speaker 1: How she must be so funny and cool? Because I'm
Speaker 1: leaning into the thing that I do have as opposed
Speaker 1: to the thing that I feel it I don't have
Speaker 1: as much Like I I know I'm never going to
Speaker 1: be as hot as like the hottest girl, but like
Speaker 1: I can probably be as cool as the coolest girl
Speaker 1: like that that's within reach for me, even though I
Speaker 1: also feel sometimes that that's out of reach. But I
Speaker 1: just thought that was I can't relate at all to
Speaker 1: a woman who wants to be the one who's the prize,
Speaker 1: but I feel most women do. Noll, can you speak
Speaker 1: to how you feel about this?
Speaker 3: I think it's more about having like an insecurity that
Speaker 3: he could leave if he's hotter, and he'll have more
Speaker 3: temptation out there.
Speaker 2: Oh, I think that's what it's about.
Speaker 7: But he chose us because it's not that that part
Speaker 7: isn't as important as and as is important nothing as
Speaker 7: retailer as our humor and coolness.
Speaker 5: Right, if I catch in a relationship, doesn't that mean
Speaker 5: that you just that you settled.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too, Like, oh, I.
Speaker 6: Guess I could have done better if I'm the catch.
Speaker 1: That's how I feel too. And I want and I
Speaker 1: and I want, I want.
Speaker 2: We all know this.
Speaker 1: I want to constantly prove that, like, yeah, he could
Speaker 1: leave me, but he's gonna stay with me, Like he
Speaker 1: could do better. Everyone knows he could get anyone he wants,
Speaker 1: but he's choosing this, Like that makes me feel so
Speaker 1: special And I feel yeah, like I'm constantly starting.
Speaker 3: Girl talks about like you both choose to be in
Speaker 3: the relationship, and I think that's what makes people feel
Speaker 3: special to each other, because people both choose to be here.
Speaker 3: We're not being forced. Yes, it's not our last resort
Speaker 3: or anything.
Speaker 6: We're just not getting on a plane making symbols with the.
Speaker 7: Flight get me away from this hotie please.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, I figured it out. Yeah, But
Speaker 1: this play, I gotta say musicals. I go in and
Speaker 1: I'm like, the most of it, I spend just being like, man,
Speaker 1: I wish this was my life, Like I should have
Speaker 1: done musical theater.
Speaker 2: This looks so fun.
Speaker 1: God, it would be so fun to dance and things
Speaker 1: like that, and oh my god, I'll never be that
Speaker 1: good of a singer. God, what do I even try for?
Speaker 1: And I go through all these like making it about
Speaker 1: me and like you're thinking the whole time, yeah, and
Speaker 1: I barely can enjoy it. And then we get to intermission.
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's not over yet, like I have to
Speaker 1: now wait a half hour, and then the second half
Speaker 1: I I lose all of that insecurity and I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm bored.
Speaker 2: Until the end I wanted to do I was starting
Speaker 2: to communicate with that. No, not really, I don't have
Speaker 2: much of.
Speaker 1: An attention span. Even though this was one of the
Speaker 1: most incredible performances I've ever seen, I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: let's I'm hungry. I want to go home.
Speaker 7: I feel everything even shows. If I love them, then
Speaker 7: I'm counting like they've done twelve songs. They can't possibly
Speaker 7: do like three.
Speaker 2: I only don't feel that way, tylor.
Speaker 5: I want to give a shout out to my sister
Speaker 5: in law's aunt. So my sister in law, let me
Speaker 5: do my brother's wife's aunt. Okay, she's she's Victoria Clark
Speaker 5: and she's the star of Broadway musical called Kimberly of Kimbo.
Speaker 5: It's it's currently in its second year on Broadway, and
Speaker 5: it won the Tony Award for Best Musical, and she
Speaker 5: won the Tony Award for Best Performer in a Musical
Speaker 5: in this past year. Whoa yeah, and she's an incredible
Speaker 5: Tony Award winning musical performer. Dan go see Kimberly Akimbo
Speaker 5: because it got extended even though it's a small musical
Speaker 5: and a smaller theater, which it's rare that a small
Speaker 5: musical in a smaller theater gets extended beyond its first run.
Speaker 5: Because of this, the money, this got extended to a
Speaker 5: second run, so you can go see it in New
Speaker 5: York on Broadway.
Speaker 6: Kimberly Akimbo.
Speaker 2: I do want to see more musicals.
Speaker 1: I was kidding when I said I was bored, but
Speaker 1: that is how I feel about anything I even love.
Speaker 1: But musicals are amazing and I will go see Kimberly
Speaker 1: Akimbo if I'm able to.
Speaker 2: And I really get a music. A musical so fun.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1: Funny, and you get to dance with other people, like
Speaker 1: doing dances with people is so fun learning a dance
