Speaker 2: The strike has ended.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's ended.
Speaker 3: Congratulations, finally act again.
Speaker 2: I am here in New York City doing my stand
Speaker 2: up talk show. My work has been opening for me,
Speaker 2: my work. She is a fantastic, wonderful comedian and far
Speaker 2: too good to be opening for me. And somehow, basically,
Speaker 2: through some nefarious shenanigans, I have tricked her into coming
Speaker 2: on tour with me, and she's sort of doing so
Speaker 2: well that.
Speaker 1: I might have to fire.
Speaker 2: Anyway. Here we are. We're in a hotel room in
Speaker 2: New York City.
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm great. This is the best gig ever.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. I mean, New York we just met.
Speaker 1: We just met. Think, I mean like that was crazy.
Speaker 2: I think came to the show was one of the
Speaker 2: greatest notes and of all of our lives.
Speaker 1: I imagine she does look at stand up and she's like,
Speaker 1: why are you not moving more?
Speaker 2: Because her hanging upside down? Yeah, it does look pretty lame.
Speaker 2: And also neither moment or myself are massively moves on stage.
Speaker 2: So we take up about a meter of stags.
Speaker 1: We could really do it, like all the steps up
Speaker 1: to the stage.
Speaker 2: Anyway, I love to see you now you.
Speaker 1: Do I do comedy, Yeah, I do writing.
Speaker 2: You will say, well, it's unique about you. I think
Speaker 2: it's that you said draw yeah, and you're you're doing
Speaker 2: the show or have done?
Speaker 3: Tell us about this show with the.
Speaker 1: Drawer I was last year. I spent all year putting
Speaker 1: together a show where I could have my art happening
Speaker 1: behind me as I spoke. So I had to have
Speaker 1: the words had to be like word for word, and
Speaker 1: I couldn't mess up any word because the word would
Speaker 1: like trigger the drawing behind me? Did you trigger? No?
Speaker 1: I had somebody doing it for me because it was
Speaker 1: like it was too much to do all of that. Yeah, weird.
Speaker 1: I started to draw like I used to be an artist,
Speaker 1: like when I was a kid, and then I gave
Speaker 1: it up. And then when I was like turning thirty,
Speaker 1: at this moment where I was like I'm going to draw, like,
Speaker 1: I was like kind of at rock bottom, and I
Speaker 1: drew this comic and then I just kept drawing that
Speaker 1: character that became Blair. Yeah, it's just like a depressed
Speaker 1: it's like an older Daria. And I just kept doing
Speaker 1: every single day. It helped me get out of the
Speaker 1: rock bottom. And then I was helped me write jokes again.
Speaker 2: Can I share something with the listener that you showed me?
Speaker 2: And if you want to cut it, we can.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 3: I think it's a truly beautiful thing.
Speaker 2: My showing picture of her daughter on a bed, and
Speaker 2: on the bed is a pillow behind the daughter's head,
Speaker 2: and a pillow is a pillow from most childhood, when
Speaker 2: I was five. And it's a drawing that you were
Speaker 2: asked to do by your mom. Yes, self portrait, mm hmm.
Speaker 2: And it's a portrait of a very simple drawing, but
Speaker 2: very good, clear drawing of like a slightly sad clown. Yes,
Speaker 2: you were five years old, and the elements of that
Speaker 2: five year old drawing. I think I didn't blair. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and it's really amazing.
Speaker 1: I never even put that together, but yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 1: My mom is a seamstress. She's an electrosian by trade,
Speaker 1: but she's a seamstress. And she had us to a
Speaker 1: self portrait and then she copied that and she didn't
Speaker 1: make any changes. So I have blonde hair and a
Speaker 1: clown mouth and then the clown flower coming out of
Speaker 1: my I had address and no arms.
Speaker 2: It's so interesting, she said, a picture of yourself and.
Speaker 1: Then look at us now clowning around.
Speaker 2: Clowning around the NYC. Yeah, yeah, beautiful. That so you're
Speaker 2: doing with me, which means you leave behind your your
Speaker 2: wife and baby.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yeah, I know people are always so worried
Speaker 1: about that. It's so funny.
Speaker 3: No, you're always talking to the right.
Speaker 1: And you know how it is. It's like there's weeks
Speaker 1: where there's no shows at all, and then it like
Speaker 1: comes back and you know, it's ebb and flow with
Speaker 1: my wife as in the industry, and she's a writer,
Speaker 1: so some days she's like on set forever and then
Speaker 1: I'm there.
Speaker 2: So it's just, yeah, one thing we have to talk about,
Speaker 2: something about a little specially you want to tell us
Speaker 2: about Oh.
Speaker 1: My gosh, this podcast. You're just trying to prop me up,
Speaker 1: aren't you.
Speaker 3: Well, I have to be careful.
Speaker 2: I don't these it becomes successful that you whenever I
Speaker 2: make it, no, that I'll be successful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of like I like this. It's actually
Speaker 1: a choice that I'm not as successful. Yeah. I have
Speaker 1: a special called Dad Jokes coming out on Beeps, which
Speaker 1: is part of Live Nation, and it comes out on
Speaker 1: December tenth.
Speaker 2: And it's not like a normal special, is it doc
Speaker 2: it's a docu you.
Speaker 3: Have a funny story about it's just.
Speaker 1: Watch comics Unleashed. No, it's on in the hotel room,
Speaker 1: like honestly, like tonight it'll be on.
Speaker 3: But it was.
Speaker 1: It was one of those shows where they'd have four
Speaker 1: comics on and it was on forever, still syndicated, and
Speaker 1: it's just like that. They're like, so you have you
Speaker 1: don't like to be on an aeroplane do your Brett,
Speaker 1: you know, and then you just like it's not, Yes,
Speaker 1: that's great.
Speaker 3: Specially it's kind of different. Huh.
Speaker 1: It is different. It's a it's a docu special. So
Speaker 1: what happened? I mean, I realized in the pandemic, I
Speaker 1: have all these dad jokes jokes about my dad, and
Speaker 1: I haven't seen them for twenty years, And so the
Speaker 1: whole conceit of the special was first just a documentary.
Speaker 1: It was like, what if I go tell all these
Speaker 1: dad jokes kind of on the road in shows, and
Speaker 1: at the same time go travel to see my dad
Speaker 1: for the first time so that I could like get
Speaker 1: some new dad jokes. And it ended up being an
Speaker 1: hour special.
Speaker 2: Did he know you were coming? Did you surprise him?
Speaker 1: Well, you'll have to see. We'll have to see. Does
Speaker 1: he even show up at the end.
Speaker 3: When we have to Hell, then we have to write December.
Speaker 1: Tenth, Yeah, December tenth. And if you want to fast forward,
Speaker 1: it's probably like a minute fifty two fast forward through
Speaker 1: all of it.
Speaker 3: The skip to the end.
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, oh, I got it. I need these
Speaker 1: jokes on the way.
Speaker 2: Oh my h hip. Let's tell you something, God, this
Speaker 2: is mad that I haven't told you that. Because we've
Speaker 2: been hanging out a lot, you'd think it would come up,
Speaker 2: and I just haven't. I think it's partly that I
Speaker 2: haven't found this sort of right time to say it.
Speaker 2: But I just keep forgetting it as well. I get
Speaker 2: caught up in the present. I guess that's good. I
Speaker 2: think it's good, but it also is like bad when
Speaker 2: you find out what I haven't told you, I think
Speaker 2: you're going to be.
Speaker 1: A bit annoyed.
Speaker 3: But because I have told you, yes, well i'll just
Speaker 3: say it. You're not offended.
Speaker 1: But you you've died. You're dead. Sorry, I thought you
Speaker 1: were to say I was fired.
Speaker 3: This is this is amazing.
Speaker 1: You're dead? Wow? Dead? Wow? How did you die? I
Speaker 1: don't want my death to be funny. But have you
Speaker 1: ever seen Frasier Kelsey Grammer fall off the stage? I
Speaker 1: have a friend very sad. Yeah, you die. That's how
Speaker 1: I died. It was on tour with you, and it
Speaker 1: was a very high stage. Is this why you don't move? It? All?
Speaker 1: This why I don't move death. That's why I stay
Speaker 1: in that one foot square you just took one day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's Oh my god, I have this. I have this
Speaker 1: under this clip of this comic. Have you seen. Yes.
Speaker 3: I can't believe that's real because of what.
Speaker 1: His because what he was saying he was he was
Speaker 1: just talking about pegging. Just imagine like the part of
Speaker 1: your set where you're like kind of like, well, this
Speaker 1: is like gross, but I'll get through it, and you
Speaker 1: fall off and become viral that So yeah, I was
Speaker 1: telling I have this new joke about my my bush
Speaker 1: going through t s A, and I was pretty nervous
Speaker 1: about telling that joke because people don't really want to
Speaker 1: hear about that. And right in the middle, I fall
Speaker 1: off the stage to death at this it's the point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the point of the show where people are like, wait,
Speaker 1: where is this going? Like, where's Brett? I don't.
Speaker 3: Bread full of smack your head in the seat on
Speaker 3: am No.
Speaker 1: It's like there's always like a chair right there. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And I kind of like scissored it in a way
Speaker 1: where I kind of yeah, what sliced you up? The
Speaker 1: minute sliced me right up the middle?
Speaker 3: There's the best show until you split parts.
Speaker 1: Yes, And it was like a snake where they're still moving.
Speaker 1: Part of me was still like has a microphone?
Speaker 3: Yeah, what did I do?
Speaker 1: It is brutal? Guess, Yeah, I mean you can't. I
Speaker 1: mean it's a hard act to follow. Yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 1: they paid to see you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but did they sort of quietly sort of clean
Speaker 2: you up as I Yeah.
Speaker 1: They're just like, there's many more openers.
Speaker 2: Just ignore the snakes two times of mind that it's
Speaker 2: just slithering on your floor.
Speaker 1: We turn off her microphone.
Speaker 2: Well, it's not the worst way to go. No, I
Speaker 2: prefer it if you made it like I just did
Speaker 2: on a Banging a punchline. You were in the middle,
Speaker 2: and I feel awkward.
Speaker 1: I know them with that, it feels.
Speaker 3: But I don't think that will be their takeaway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: I think I forget that they were wading out about
Speaker 2: your bush.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think maybe the headlines are going
Speaker 1: to be like and then you're going to have to
Speaker 1: tell them it was actually like, it wasn't completely true
Speaker 1: what she was saying. It was more of a joke.
Speaker 3: Guys, listen, we're all going to miss my bird. Just
Speaker 3: for her legacy. I think it's important her bush did
Speaker 3: not set off the next ray machine. Okay, that's that's what.
Speaker 1: I Yeah, it was just it was a joke. And
Speaker 1: then and then there's this whole other movement about truth
Speaker 1: and comedy and like it.
Speaker 3: Was an emotional truth.
Speaker 1: Yes, and I get in trouble for that post. Believe
Speaker 1: it it is political.
Speaker 2: Do you worry about death.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think a fair amount more in COVID. I
Speaker 1: feel like I would wake up in the middle of
Speaker 1: the night worried. But yeah, sometimes, like in these hotel rooms,
Speaker 1: you're just like, you know, we're comics on the road,
Speaker 1: but luckily we're not like huge partiers. Oh really do
Speaker 1: you know who he is?
Speaker 2: Ja? Yeah, so you worry about dying in line in
Speaker 2: the Hotelrea.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why. I honestly think that's kind of why
Speaker 1: I will fall asleep setting up a little bit.
Speaker 3: I don't know, No, I'm.
Speaker 1: Just like I don't think I can die halfways for
Speaker 1: some reason. Yeah, I'm just like that, Like I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll be like this, and I'll be like
Speaker 1: on TikTok, and then all of a sudden, I'm just
Speaker 1: like sleeping because like, for some reason, I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: if I'm propped up, it's almost like a choking hazard, Like, well,
Speaker 1: if I'm propped up, I can't die.
Speaker 3: I think that's true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no one's ever died setting up.
Speaker 2: In fact, do you worry more about death since you've
Speaker 2: had a kid or the same When did you first
Speaker 2: start worrying about death?
Speaker 1: Do you remember, well, when I was twelve, I stopped
Speaker 1: going to church because I would go to the cemetery
Speaker 1: and I kind of just, I don't know, I think
Speaker 1: I was aware of death and I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: y'all the shit they're talking about can't be real and
Speaker 1: people are really just dead in the ground here. And
Speaker 1: so at twelve, I really was like, Okay, it does happen.
Speaker 1: So you have to make.
Speaker 2: Some goals sanguine. So you think there's nothing when you
Speaker 2: thought that when you were twelve, Yeah, you think that's
Speaker 2: just blackout, Yeah, silence, nothing.
Speaker 1: Nothingness, nothing. Yeah, it's hard.
Speaker 3: You really think that, you imagine I actually.
Speaker 1: Do think that. Yeah, but I would love to be
Speaker 1: proven wrong. Well guess what, buddy, boy, you're wrong.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's amazing.
Speaker 1: There's a heaven.
Speaker 2: You're welcome despite your abhorrent views on death. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: I'm You're welcome because it's so it's all loved.
Speaker 1: This podcast is just like a church. Yeah, you love it.
Speaker 2: Here, there's a heaven, your weapon. It's filled with your
Speaker 2: favorite thing. What's your favorite thing?
Speaker 1: Films? Okay, yeah is it? Oh? I thought that I
Speaker 1: thought we were improvising. What is my favorite thing? My family?
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna regret that. Yeah, right, you come
Speaker 2: to heaven. This is absolutely jammed packed with your family.
Speaker 2: It is nothing but your family. It's your family everywhere.
Speaker 1: Amazing. That would be the nightmare.
Speaker 2: That's what you chose, and I'm happy for you. So
Speaker 2: all your family are there, all of them. Yeah great,

Speaker 2: they're everywhere, and there's your family.

Speaker 3: family in heaven, all of them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all. Yeah, that's your family. Yeah right, hell
Speaker 1: is in heaven. Yeah, hell is it your family?
Speaker 2: Okay, Heaven, Welcome to heaven. But you're wishing for nothing.
Speaker 2: They're very exciting. They get family and they love you
Speaker 2: and they've all missed you, and they want to talk
Speaker 2: to you.
Speaker 1: About your life.
Speaker 2: And they're like, well, we know it loves about your life.
Speaker 2: As we get family, we know everything about your life.
Speaker 2: But what we don't know is about your life through film.
Speaker 2: Necessarily some of it they probably do know, but nonetheless,
Speaker 2: up the first thing they ask you is what's the
Speaker 2: first film you remember seeing my work?
Speaker 1: I mean, you're going to love this a little Mermaid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's a great.
Speaker 1: It was the first movie I saw in the theater. Wow,
Speaker 1: I was I want to say it was five or
Speaker 1: six and my mom brought us to the movie. Was
Speaker 1: my sister, Mikayla and me and Sandra, and she brought
Speaker 1: the three of us to the movie. It was like
Speaker 1: a huge deal because we were really really poor and
Speaker 1: we get there.
Speaker 3: Which cinema is it?
Speaker 1: It was it was in normal Illinois. Yeah, and she
Speaker 1: there's five. I'm the second, so at this time there's
Speaker 1: only three of us. She brought us there. It's kind
Speaker 1: of an iconic story. I mean, it was like such
Speaker 1: a formative story for me. During the credits at the beginning,
Speaker 1: the movie hasn't even started yet, my mom was like,
Speaker 1: we're leaving the movie a very first movie. And I
Speaker 1: was like, what are you talking about? And she's like,
Speaker 1: Mikayla pooped her pants. She literally shit her pants in
Speaker 1: the movie theater. We were probably eating something bad and
Speaker 1: we had to leave the movie theater. She got her
Speaker 1: money back though, because there was like that deal, if
Speaker 1: it's like been within like twenty or thirty minutes, you
Speaker 1: can get your movie your money back. At least back then, yeah,
Speaker 1: so she got her money back. But the worst part
Speaker 1: of the story was that I laughed so hard in
Speaker 1: the back of the station wagon that I shipped my
Speaker 1: pants too. And then so it was like truly like
Speaker 1: we had diarrhea. I was disgusting. So I go to
Speaker 1: the bath Like the second we get home, I run
Speaker 1: to the bathroom and everyone was like banging on the door.
Speaker 1: But they never knew until I told it and stand
Speaker 1: like I did this story for like a conan thing,
Speaker 1: and then they're like, you fucking shit your pants the
Speaker 1: whole time you were shaming me.
Speaker 2: It was my first Yeah, so your first memory of
Speaker 2: film is a yeah, did you go back and see
Speaker 2: little movie?
Speaker 1: We must have waited to talk came out on tape,
Speaker 1: but it was the you know everyone, I had a
Speaker 1: sleeping bag and everything. It was all a little Mermaid
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 2: Do you have PTSD now you go to I mean
Speaker 2: I don't really go to the movies.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's probably linked.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is the film that scared you the most?
Speaker 1: Do you know the film Fire in the Sky?
Speaker 2: I know that film, okay, I saw and I think
Speaker 2: about it a lot. It was a film in the nineties. Yes,
Speaker 2: based on dB Sweeny and it is about the true
Speaker 2: story of an alien of duckts hit. Yeah, and it
Speaker 2: was his story, very straight and for real. I've seen
Speaker 2: it terrifying, tell me.
Speaker 1: So. My dad had no filter on what he was like.
Speaker 1: He didn't have that thing where it's like, oh, I
Speaker 1: should turn this off there like little kids in the room.
Speaker 1: And there's a part in that film where the aliens
Speaker 1: clamp his eye like this and then put goo in it.
Speaker 1: And my entire life after watching that, I couldn't do
Speaker 1: eye drops, Like my mom would have to like put
Speaker 1: her knee on my chest in order to put eye
Speaker 1: drops in, like when you get pink eye. It was
Speaker 1: so terrifying there. You know, there's some movies where we're like,
Speaker 1: why am I so afraid of something in my life?
Speaker 1: And you realize it's just from a film you've watched
Speaker 1: when you were a child. Freddy Krueger was the same
Speaker 1: because my parents had a water bed and he had
Speaker 1: come out through the waterbed, and I'm just like, it's terrifying.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wonder if these things that good for us?
Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, I've been up so many films and
Speaker 2: it probably changed the course of.
Speaker 1: My life because you're like, what is real?
Speaker 2: I'm sure I mentioned this on the podcast What There's
Speaker 2: a film called Frozen, not that one, the other one,
Speaker 2: and it's about three people stuck on a ski lift,
Speaker 2: like the resort closes down for the weekend and it's
Speaker 2: like Friday night and they're high up on the ski
Speaker 2: lift and the film is the three days and then
Speaker 2: like trying to survive in the as they're being frozen
Speaker 2: alive and they're terrifying. Scene in it where one of
Speaker 2: the guys is like this is a spoiler, skip ahead
Speaker 2: if you want to see Frozen. One of the guys like,
Speaker 2: maybe we're not that high, maybe one of us could
Speaker 2: jump down and get help. And the guy jumps down
Speaker 2: and there's a shot of his legs when he lands
Speaker 2: on the ground and like bones, thighs. I think about
Speaker 2: that every day. I'm now scared of legs, legs or
Speaker 2: a tourist.
Speaker 1: No no, no, I got skin all the time. I've been
Speaker 1: stuck on the left many times.
Speaker 2: But legs, legs, they could just pop out. It's so horrible.
Speaker 2: And Tenny sort of loops like a trauma where I'm like,
Speaker 2: that didn't happen.
Speaker 3: It was in a film yeah, but I see it.
Speaker 1: No, there are things. Yeah, and even in love stories
Speaker 1: you just go like, wait, how much how much of
Speaker 1: love is actually real or like a romantic situation? And
Speaker 1: how much is it like us playing films in our head?
Speaker 3: Oh that yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like horror films right, yeah.
Speaker 3: What is the film that might be pryamized?
Speaker 1: Are you a cry?
Speaker 3: I am on the daily?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I can go a while without crime.
Speaker 1: But it takes like a movie to make me cry,
Speaker 1: or a TV show anything that has like anything to
Speaker 1: do with being a mother. Now, any film, any scene
Speaker 1: in a TV show, I'm crying, especially if they're like
Speaker 1: you know, it could just be a character to be like,
Speaker 1: you know, moms work hard, and I'm like, it's like,
Speaker 1: so I'm such a sucker now, but I did try it, Stepmom,
Speaker 1: Like I really remember bawling at Stepmom.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, but that film is designed to make
Speaker 2: your right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't cry Step Brothers though, Stepmom. And I
Speaker 1: was a kid when I watched that, so I remember.
Speaker 1: And then it's like I can't watch it now.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm never going to be able to watch
Speaker 1: that film. I'll cry.
Speaker 2: Who would you get to be the stepmom if you
Speaker 2: were dying, if you knew the night that you're going
Speaker 2: to fall off the stage and be split.
Speaker 1: Into oh oh god, I want someone Sam can really
Speaker 1: get along with going to be You think Julia Roberts
Speaker 1: would be great, but it seems pretty straight love Rosie
Speaker 1: O'donnald to come in.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, okay, I think she'd be a great mother.
Speaker 1: I think she would. Yeah, she's already got some kids,
Speaker 1: age change.
Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, yeah, okay, Well we'll let you know. What
Speaker 2: is the film that people don't like? It's not Criz
Speaker 2: you love it, unconditioning.
Speaker 1: You don't give a ship when anyone says, well, a
Speaker 1: lot of my friends like this film, but I don't
Speaker 1: think Rotten Tomatoes does Rome Michell's High School Reunion It. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like comics love it, and most people do, but
Speaker 1: I just know it's like not critically acclaimed. And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I watched that movie and also any of like those
Speaker 1: SNL movies that had such bad Rotten Tomato scores, Superstar
Speaker 1: nightith Roxberry, like any SNL character film I like fucking
Speaker 1: loved Would you do One of Day? Yes? What's the
Speaker 1: character Larry Bird? Yeah, Larry Bird. I'm gonna be Larry
Speaker 1: Bird in an SNL film. Yeah, Winning Time is canceled
Speaker 1: on HBO, so I think there's room. Yeah. Me.
Speaker 2: On the other hand, was this the film that you
Speaker 2: used to love? You left it so much and then
Speaker 2: I don't like this anymore for various reasons.
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, it's like anything with violence is hard
Speaker 1: to watch, Like I haven't seen because you know, in
Speaker 1: a while, but like that sort of film, those are
Speaker 1: hard to watch now, where like when I was watching
Speaker 1: them for the first time and I watched Casino hundreds
Speaker 1: of times. Yeah, and now I think, like the violence
Speaker 1: thing gets to me a little more. I mean it's
Speaker 1: not just like being a mom. I think I'm just
Speaker 1: like Jesus, Like I fast forward through all the violent stuff.
Speaker 1: I feel the same anything with like sexual assault too,
Speaker 1: I'm just like fast forward. Yeah, like kill Bill, I'd
Speaker 1: have to fast forward that, like the scene the like yeah,
Speaker 1: the buck of it. But then I like and kill
Speaker 1: Bill's hot, Like I mean those are like, you know,
Speaker 1: it's like one of my favorite movies, and it's just
Speaker 1: I love how the blood sprays, so it's not as
Speaker 1: like believable, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like people get hit. Mm hmmm, yeah, I
Speaker 3: guess it's does get.
Speaker 1: And I think it's gotten more believable the way that
Speaker 1: they make the films. Yeah, the production value is just better.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 2: What is the film that means the mice to you?
Speaker 2: Not necessarily the film itself is any good, but the
Speaker 2: experience you had around seeing it would always make it
Speaker 2: special to you.
Speaker 1: This is another formative. It's like, I'd love to say
Speaker 1: something that I watched with you know, my wife, But
Speaker 1: there is a formative experience that's different. So it's not poop,
Speaker 1: but it is body. So my junior high boyfriend we
Speaker 1: went to the Lake Theater in Oak Park, Illinois together
Speaker 1: and we saw Gatica and it was such like you know,
Speaker 1: like going through puberty sort of moment where I was
Speaker 1: so nervous and I like had a sweating problem, so
Speaker 1: it was like sweating. And it took me the entire
Speaker 1: movie of Gattica to move my hand from my body
Speaker 1: all the way up his shirt and to graze his
Speaker 1: armpit to see if he had any hair. And it
Speaker 1: took the entire film, and I'll never forget it. It
Speaker 1: was like the inchin of my hand from my body
Speaker 1: to his armpit? Why why? What did you want to have?
Speaker 1: It was just like my version of feeling him up.
Speaker 1: I guess yeah, I was trying to say because I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I want to like like basically, is
Speaker 1: this yeah, is he going through yeah, puberty? Yet I
Speaker 1: think I was just fascinated with guys with armpet hair.
Speaker 3: And what happened when you go to the apppit.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he did have armpet hair. And then
Speaker 1: what happened? And then we saw another movie. I can't
Speaker 1: remember what movie we saw, but we saw a double movie.
Speaker 1: And then since I knew I probably.
Speaker 3: Did you put your other hand up.
Speaker 2: Like a baby, and I'm like, I have a boyfriend.
Speaker 1: But it's such a formative experience, it's not I don't
Speaker 1: even know. I mean, like, look how it took me
Speaker 1: to get to his armpit, which is a classic ticket.
Speaker 1: Was he like he's he probably didn't even notice the
Speaker 1: like like yeah, yeah, you're like there's a bold move.
Speaker 1: A move no no other no, no other girl's ever
Speaker 1: done that. But that was that was a little bit
Speaker 1: of like the fun and the problem with like not
Speaker 1: having a lot of information and not really like you know,
Speaker 1: we didn't have like a home computer or anything. So
Speaker 1: I was just like, I think, this is what you do.
Speaker 1: But I'll never forget Gatka because of that that he
Speaker 1: joined the military. Yeah, and shaped his armpits.
Speaker 3: What is the film that you must relate to?
Speaker 1: What he got game? Yeah, one of the like films
Speaker 1: I've watched the most of my life, for sure. I
Speaker 1: think you know my dad was in prison when I
Speaker 1: was little for a while. Yeah, stealing TVs on multiple occasions.
Speaker 2: What do you do then, I mean we had to
Speaker 2: drop them, run get away?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Did you get a visit? No? I was little. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was like baby, and like my dad was off
Speaker 1: on work release when I was what is the word
Speaker 1: I'm looking for? No, when they had sex to me, what,
Speaker 1: what's the word I'm looking for? Right? Yes? Oh what?
Speaker 2: So like your mom came to like a caravan at
Speaker 2: the prison and they had six Yeah, and she made you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they made you.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So that's how I came in the world. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I didn't relate. I mean I didn't relate in
Speaker 1: a big way, but it was just like it was
Speaker 1: there and I love basketball, Like it was just like
Speaker 1: every minute of my teenage life was just watching basketball,
Speaker 1: and there was like something to the like I love
Speaker 1: watching a movie where it's like somebody you wouldn't expect
Speaker 1: gets to like fulfill a dream.
Speaker 3: Like that, I think you want to play?
Speaker 1: Yeah no, I mean you could have, like I thought
Speaker 1: I could have, but no, there was no way ever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but there was a love of basketball keeps you in
Speaker 1: the moment, and I think I was just like addicted
Speaker 1: to mean in the moment like that. M yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: bad now, I'm like Larry Burden this last year just
Speaker 1: like on the sideline on my back hurts. I'm so bad.
Speaker 2: Do you tell me something I don't understand that you
Speaker 2: love basketball? You watch baickeybo Tempt. You don't have a team.
Speaker 1: Yeah it's technically the Bulls, but like yeah, because I
Speaker 1: worked in sports before comedy, I at one point was
Speaker 1: like why am I following these like basically kids like
Speaker 1: trying to fulfill their dreams. And I just felt like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I need to like stop paying attention
Speaker 1: to these kids and like actually go find my own dream.
Speaker 1: And then a part of me is like I know
Speaker 1: we were talking about like just like the allegiance you
Speaker 1: have to a team. I feel like such a lone
Speaker 1: Wolf in a way that like, I have no allegiance
Speaker 1: I don't even have allegiance to Chicago like I have,
Speaker 1: you know, like or to like a comedy scene. I
Speaker 1: feel like I don't like that anyone could claim me
Speaker 1: because and it's like an outsider thing where I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: you don't want me then, so you know you'll never.
Speaker 2: Have me you Yeah, meanwhile, now go back, you kind
Speaker 2: of have me, now you can't have me.
Speaker 1: That's on you.
Speaker 2: I get that. That's interesting, all right? Then here we go.
Speaker 2: What's the sexiest film I've seen?
Speaker 1: My work? Blues enormous color. I mean, some of the
Speaker 1: lesbian films. People will say, yeah, but it was dis
Speaker 1: directed by a man, and you can tell, and you
Speaker 1: can tell, and that is a film where I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm kind of glad I was directed by a man,
Speaker 1: Like in some parts, I'm like, I'm kind of happy, though, you.
Speaker 3: Know, can you be any more specific?
Speaker 1: What you mean?
Speaker 2: That's the list they would like some vice.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think if I can.
Speaker 2: What's the telltale sign of lesbian fan I directed by
Speaker 2: a man?
Speaker 1: If you said, if you're watching a sex scene and
Speaker 1: you're saying, is that really how it's done. Then no, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're like, I don't think so. There's also a lot
Speaker 1: of there's a lot of tension in lesbian films. That
Speaker 1: one didn't have as much I thought, and I liked that,
Speaker 1: but yeah, lesbian films. I mean this is you know,
Speaker 1: directed by a man too, but like Carol and Tar
Speaker 1: was different. Portrait of a lady on fire, Yeah, that
Speaker 1: one's a woman. Yeah, but the tension, the tension, yeah,
Speaker 1: and I love Yeah. I'll probably talk about that one later.
Speaker 2: That means a great film. I feel sad there's the
Speaker 2: troubled backstory. Yeah, that just didn't seem happy with that
Speaker 2: was made. Oh really sad because that's a good film.
Speaker 2: That is sad, that's brilliant and it's.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well there are other like there's something about Mary.
Speaker 1: I mean there are a lot of movies that Adventures
Speaker 1: of babysitting, like where you're just like the lead is
Speaker 1: you know enough Elizabeth sho with a trench coat for me,
Speaker 1: I was like, I mean that was enough.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, she's great.
Speaker 2: Sub category traveling bone is worrying why a filmy founder?
Speaker 3: I think you didn't know you think you probably shouldn't
Speaker 3: have cool.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a lot of that's a lot of films.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of like yeah, oh you know what,
Speaker 1: like Pearl Harbor.
Speaker 3: Which depends when Yeah, that's the.
Speaker 1: Hard part about those films is like, guys, this is
Speaker 1: about war and then there's like a full on sex
Speaker 1: scene to keep the ladies interested. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: She's beautiful. Yeah, he's beautiful film.
Speaker 1: There aren't a lot of films where they would pries me,
Speaker 1: like most films have sex scenes in them or sexual attention.
Speaker 2: Is your answer, it's great. Yeah, never come up, never
Speaker 2: come up on the podcast. Okay, good, well, it's objectively, objectively,
Speaker 2: objectively the greatest film about my.
Speaker 1: Words, Okay, I have a comedy. Uncle Buck to me
Speaker 1: is my favorite film of all time. Beautiful. And then Goodfellas,
Speaker 1: which I'm sure you've heard a million times.
Speaker 2: That's yes, that's I mean, I can even say that.
Speaker 2: I'll never cut that. You know, I put a list
Speaker 2: on the home films that talk. I never put Good
Speaker 2: Fellows on that. Yeah, I love it. I'll never you
Speaker 2: can talk about you want.
Speaker 1: It's incredible. And then from something more recent is Parasite
Speaker 1: because I've watched it. I've watched it a few times
Speaker 1: now because I just keep finding myself watching it again
Speaker 1: and I love it so good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hang on, good Fellas and uncle Buck, uncle Buck,
Speaker 2: well a devil Bill uncle Buck.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's nobody better John Candy. Like when I
Speaker 1: think the fact that he's not here on earth anymore
Speaker 1: really bothers me, but he fell off a stage doing
Speaker 1: stand up, and everybody knows that it's the greater. You know,
Speaker 1: the end of Uncle Buck, he's in the kitchen kind
Speaker 1: of hiding while the mother and the daughter are having
Speaker 1: their moment. And I rewatched Uncle Buck recently and the
Speaker 1: mother daughter story is what gets me crying long time up. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but at the end, John Candy like accidentally like Max
Speaker 1: down all the pots and I laughed so hard, Like
Speaker 1: you think, I've never seen comedy before, but it's so good.
Speaker 2: I remember a lot of that film, Like like that
Speaker 2: stayed with me in the same way that the legs feminine,
Speaker 2: that's not it, but in a better way.
Speaker 1: We had a car like that growing up, so I'm like,
Speaker 1: it's so relatable just having this like nasty car sounds
Speaker 1: like there's like a bomb going off every time you park.
Speaker 3: If we had a John Candy replacement. There's no junk candy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think.
Speaker 2: John Candy's acting. I think that can make me cry
Speaker 2: like that in ten seconds is the end of planes.
Speaker 2: I can watched that without having expressed the film and
Speaker 2: I still cry. Yeah, just that same.
Speaker 1: He's an incredible actor, that's the thing. Yeah, he's incredible. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like anyone who's like super comedic but can like get
Speaker 1: you to cry like that.
Speaker 2: He's mm hmmm and boy oh boy, so likable, lovable.
Speaker 1: And Uncle Buck has it all it is. What's his face?
Speaker 1: Mcaulay Culkin, Gabby Hoffman, Yeah yeah, power tools, power tools
Speaker 1: on his head, bowling Yes, that guy. I'll never forget
Speaker 1: the moment where that that guy in the bowling eye.
Speaker 1: It was like being cool with his toothpick and then
Speaker 1: gets up with his mouth like a jarrito and you'm
Speaker 1: good Fellaws, good Fellas so good. Yeah. I mean my
Speaker 1: my high school boyfriend was like very Italian. Yeah wishes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't have We're going to go to that many
Speaker 1: movies and figure out what else is going on with
Speaker 1: our anatomy. Uh No, I had like this, like super
Speaker 1: he was like one hundred percent Italian, I think, and
Speaker 1: he loved all those films and then so I just
Speaker 1: got really into them as well. And it's so it's
Speaker 1: so good. I mean, good Fellas is the good Fellas
Speaker 1: is the best.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think it's interesting you bring Casino is
Speaker 2: the one that is too violent?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I find it.
Speaker 2: There's scenes in that I can't watch him, like, I
Speaker 2: don't know, we need to see this baseball pack constantly
Speaker 2: hitting this guy in the head.
Speaker 1: I don't think we need to see that. Yeah, See,
Speaker 1: this is too much. It is, And honestly, I haven't
Speaker 1: seen good Fellas in a couple of years, so I'm
Speaker 1: curious if it would make.
Speaker 3: I think good Fellas is not that.
Speaker 2: I mean, it has nicety stuff in it, but I
Speaker 2: don't think it like it's moving too far like Casino is,
Speaker 2: Like there's bits in it that revel in it.
Speaker 1: Seemingly right in the violence in a way that's really
Speaker 1: like you get it, You're like, put down the pen.
Speaker 2: But it's brilliant. Yeah, what is the channel that makes
Speaker 2: you left?
Speaker 1: Uncle Buck is? I can Okay, it's probably gonna be
Speaker 1: Uncle Buck because it keeps given. I keep watching it
Speaker 1: every holiday season.
Speaker 3: So okay, what is it to be negative?
Speaker 1: It quick. What's the worst? I really like bad films,
Speaker 1: you know what. I can't watch any of the like
Speaker 1: Avengers and like all of that. I'm gonna put them
Speaker 1: all in a category together, but like all of those,
Speaker 1: I can't watch them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've watched.
Speaker 1: Them, and I don't want to point out any specifics
Speaker 1: because to me, they're all the same. I'm just like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, one is this over? Like it's just
Speaker 1: a genre I cannot get into. So to me, if
Speaker 1: it's like if you made if you set me down,
Speaker 1: you're like you have to watch this like Avengers or whatever,
Speaker 1: you like, are you fucking kidding me? Like I just
Speaker 1: can't do it.
Speaker 2: An yeahs or whatever.
Speaker 1: And it's like like IP I keeping like when I'm
Speaker 1: want to play, and I'm like, just watch one of them.
Speaker 2: When AI takes over it and there's three billion properties,
Speaker 2: there will be Avengers or whatever or whatever, it's.
Speaker 1: Like three hours long, all the characters like yeah, and
Speaker 1: I don't like when all the characters get together. Mm hmm,
Speaker 1: yeah I get that. Yeah, you don't know. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: just like are thyk from like different worlds? I just
Speaker 1: so it's like it's too much, like it's too much
Speaker 1: to have that many heroes. Come on, let's make it believable.
Speaker 2: What is the film you could or have? What's the
Speaker 2: most over and over again?
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, of course it's Uncle back.
Speaker 2: Second Place.
Speaker 1: Let's see second Place. But I'm a cheerleader. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna all bring in all the lesbian movies here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm a cheerleader. A great film, and I love
Speaker 1: watching it because it reminds me of being in high school.
Speaker 1: And I think Wes Anderson saw but I'm a cheerleader
Speaker 1: and took a note. And I don't have proof of timeline,
Speaker 1: but I'm like, when Jamie Babbitt made that movie, it
Speaker 1: was like so cool and artistic, and you know, I
Speaker 1: wonder if she continued to make movies in that way,
Speaker 1: with like that sort of production value, if she would
Speaker 1: have been like, I mean, she has a great career,
Speaker 1: but like she would have been like, Wes Anderson, how will.
Speaker 2: Be you when you had first experience for the woman?
Speaker 1: I was actually kind of late to the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was in my twenties. It was after I started comedy.
Speaker 2: And if we can, I'm previous that you didn't you
Speaker 2: thought about it a lot?
Speaker 1: No, No, I didn't. Yeah, I had a long term boyfriends,
Speaker 1: and I was like, maybe kick in. At some point,
Speaker 1: I was like, maybe I'll really love these guys. At
Speaker 1: some point I was like waiting for the kick in.
Speaker 1: And then and then Comedy like broke me open in
Speaker 1: a way where I think I like saw the world
Speaker 1: differently and like was able to feel things finally because
Speaker 1: I was so happy, like like yeah, just like blissfully
Speaker 1: unaware of anything up until comedy. And then I was yeah,
Speaker 1: these big bodybuilder boyfriends.
Speaker 3: Skin swave, skiny, skin smooth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you have like one extra hair on you,
Speaker 1: that's obviously disgusting. So yeah, so a lot of these
Speaker 1: and I remember seeing that in high school, but I'm
Speaker 1: a cheerleader. And then some of these films like The
Speaker 1: L Word is a TV show. It's like I didn't
Speaker 1: watch that until I was already out, and so I
Speaker 1: kind of got to consume all of anything that was gay,
Speaker 1: like later.
Speaker 2: When you had experience were you're like oh yeah immediately actually,
Speaker 2: like a girl at a bar in Denver.
Speaker 1: Was like someone said she was interested in me, and
Speaker 1: I was like it was like the concept was so
Speaker 1: foreign to me. I'm just like, what are you talking
Speaker 1: about what do you mean interested in me? And then
Speaker 1: I think, like for the next week, I'm like, like,
Speaker 1: my heart is like pounding, cannot wait to go back
Speaker 1: to rock Bottom Brewery and in Denver. Yeah, no, it's
Speaker 1: like a chain mm hmm wi. Yeah, yeah, it's fun
Speaker 1: to to you know. I'm kind of happy in a
Speaker 1: way that.
Speaker 2: I went with the boyfriend when you had Discovery, I
Speaker 2: had a boyfriend. Yeah, So then did you guys came
Speaker 2: and say.
Speaker 1: Oh no. I was just like, obviously my comedy career
Speaker 1: is taking off. I'm doing open mikes in Denver. I'm like,
Speaker 1: obviously I don't have time for this relationship. You seem
Speaker 1: really into the outdoors, so I think we should go
Speaker 1: our own way. And I remember he was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but comedy is a hobby, and I remember being so offended.
Speaker 1: And keep in mind open mic comedian. I was so offended. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was like you're out not just because I'm yeah,
Speaker 1: actually that has nothing to do with it. It's all
Speaker 1: because you don't think that might open my career is
Speaker 1: going anywhere.
Speaker 2: How long does it take you to just that's so
Speaker 2: interested though, to be that, like, was it like a week?
Speaker 2: And then you're like, hey, everything's says, was there any
Speaker 2: like struggle, like.
Speaker 3: As this makes sense?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I went back and it went back and forth,
Speaker 1: and like I talk about in my set, I haven't
Speaker 1: maybe well tonight. Actually, you know when I came out,
Speaker 1: I had some jokes already about my boyfriend, and you know,
Speaker 1: like when you first started in comedy, those first five
Speaker 1: minutes are gold and you don't have anything else. And
Speaker 1: so I wasn't out partly because I was just like
Speaker 1: many jokes, like what am I going to do? Rewrite
Speaker 1: my whole set?
Speaker 3: I just changed the name to your girl's name, dis
Speaker 3: and these jokes, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Exactly, gonna believe my girlfriend six ' five, that's part
Speaker 1: of this joke. What life. But it is people who
Speaker 1: knew that they were like you know, my age, like
Speaker 1: you know in early two thousands or whatever, knew that
Speaker 1: they were gay. I feel for them in a way
Speaker 1: because it's like I didn't even realize all of the
Speaker 1: like that all the films are so heteronormative, and then
Speaker 1: like every love story, you know that it's so niche
Speaker 1: to have a gay love story, especially back then, and
Speaker 1: like all the advertisment is for a heteronormative you know world. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and so I'm happy in a way that like I would. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just like fucking ignorant and just with my boyfriend.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, like wait a second. And then it was
Speaker 1: fun to consume all of like any gay media that
Speaker 1: I could get all at once, like you know, at
Speaker 1: twenty three, just being like a week just like watching everything.
Speaker 2: We like, like smoking, just telling me about really obvious references.
Speaker 1: You ever seen Ellen, I'm like, that's so funny. It
Speaker 1: reminds me of an Ellen. So when you're in the
Speaker 1: dressing room, my only reference was Ellen.
Speaker 3: Guys, do you want Yeah?
Speaker 1: We see that? Yea fascinating.
Speaker 2: So you did get back back and forth before you Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had yeah, you know back in the in
Speaker 1: the early days, I was just kind of it was
Speaker 1: just like dating around though really it was never like boyfriend.
Speaker 1: It was like old flames, that sort of thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: until I could get that get more material, then I
Speaker 1: was off to the races.
Speaker 2: It's good to see you get by with these men. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to just shout at this game with
Speaker 2: me for a couple of times.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got I've got like three more shows then
Speaker 1: I'm ready.
Speaker 3: You've been wonderful. I was expected.
Speaker 2: However, when you were opening for me and you were
Speaker 2: you having quite a good like it was going well.
Speaker 2: I'd say you've done ten minutes. They warmed to you
Speaker 2: in under the style. They thought you were funny and
Speaker 2: lovely and the charismatic and they're really into it. And
Speaker 2: then you started talking about your bus setting off the
Speaker 2: next ray machine, and it made them made them more comfortable.
Speaker 2: Don't think they'd mind admitting that it turned them off
Speaker 2: of it. They were like, they didn't want to think
Speaker 2: about a bus, didn't want to particularly imagine you with
Speaker 2: a bus. I think the idea of threatening. I think
Speaker 2: for the first ten minutes they've been thinking, she's got
Speaker 2: no bush, and then you start talking about your bush.
Speaker 2: I think it changed who you were to them. You
Speaker 2: suddenly felt unsafe. I think they thought we are in
Speaker 2: the hands of a dangerous person. And as you were
Speaker 2: trying to clear up, you could sense it.
Speaker 1: You're into an audience.
Speaker 3: You could send them pulling away.
Speaker 2: And being scared, frightened, terrified, and you stepped forward. You
Speaker 2: didn't stay very still, but you thought, no, I must
Speaker 2: come to them. You know they weren't leaning in anymore.
Speaker 2: You must pan to them as you stepped forward to explain,
Speaker 2: this is humor. You don't of course, you were about
Speaker 2: to say, of course I don't actually have a book.
Speaker 2: I'm so sorry that I scared you with that imagery.
Speaker 2: And you stepped forward to draw them in, draw them close.
Speaker 2: But your foot went off the edge of the stage.
Speaker 2: You hunt sings at the spotlight, and there was a chair,
Speaker 2: and you stepped forward. You fell directly down, and the
Speaker 2: edge of the chair was quite sharp, and it split
Speaker 2: right up your your knew nick and went.
Speaker 3: Straight through your head, perfect spleaming too.
Speaker 1: And you went.
Speaker 2: And you fell on the phone wriggled about two bits.
Speaker 2: Some people screamed, some people applauded. A few people ought
Speaker 2: to be said, Thank god, we don't have to hear
Speaker 2: about the bush anymore. I'm at the side of the stage.
Speaker 2: I got coughing with me.
Speaker 1: You know what.
Speaker 2: I'm like someone at the back and goes, well, of
Speaker 2: the days you guys and I come out. I go normally,
Speaker 2: I come out, so I hug you as we pass
Speaker 2: each other.
Speaker 1: You know, but you're not there. I'm like, hey, guys,
