5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,319
Speaker 2: all of that, she found her truest calling making people laugh,

00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,759

00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: Save Me, Rosalie. It's so great to have you here now.

31
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 2: You have had one of the most eclectic careers I

32
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: think I've ever come across in a long time, and

33
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 2: I love it. I wanted to do everything too, just

34
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: saying Ford model actress, Tarantino's commercial Division, stand up comedian.

35
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: I could go on.

36
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: When you look back on your life, does it feel

37
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: like one continuous thread or does it feel like you've

38
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: lived several different lives?

39
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: You know, each time something dramatic happens and a door closes,

40
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 3: you can either give up at that point and go, well, uh,

41
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 3: that that was a good run. I've had a good run.

42
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 3: But I think partially maybe because I'm add ish, like

43
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: the next thing would pop up, the next shiny object,

44
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: and I would just go there.

45
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: Look squirrel exactly. Well.

46
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 3: I used to say, you know, we're going to wreck

47
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: the car if you keep looking at roofs. Mom Oh

48
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: I would go look at that roof, look their tile

49
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: in California, look at that, and they would just get

50
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 3: we're not safe, We're not safe.

51
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: Will you take us back to the modeling days in

52
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 2: New York and Paris? I find that just so fascinating.

53
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 2: What was what was that world like as a young

54
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: woman taking on those iconic cities, and what did it

55
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: teach you that you still carry with you today. I

56
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: mean that had to be so scary but also so

57
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 2: exciting at the same time.

58
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: Oh you're dumb. You have no idea what's happening. You

59
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 3: show up in red plastic cowboy boots and a puffer

60
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 3: coat and you think, oh good, And people would say

61
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 3: you're not safe on the street, honey, you should go home,

62
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 3: but you don't. You don't. It doesn't land anywhere on you.

63
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 3: You're just young and experiencing life and looking at tall

64
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 3: buildings and go like, oh, wind tunnels and.

65
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, yeah, that's like any Moving to New York.

66
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: I felt the same with her, like look straight ahead,

67
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: or people are going to take your wallet.

68
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 3: Yes, you have to give to what I learned how

69
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 3: to well be tough in your Yep.

70
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: Yeahols had to do that.

71
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 3: I'm glad to hear you say that. It's true, ladies

72
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: out there, to keep your wallet inside your jacket and

73
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: walk like you're crazier than they are. That's the way

74
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 3: to do it. You know, if ever, you're getting harassed

75
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 3: by anybody, you just amp up your crazy.

76
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: If you're crazy, it's for the purpose.

77
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: They will, Yeah, they will want to run away from

78
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 3: you if you show them just down crazy. You can

79
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: bet they're chickens. They're chickens, bullizer chickens.

80
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 2: So that's good advice, by the way, but true. I

81
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 2: will say I had a very similar experience, so I

82
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: can relate to that. You know, you're just so bright

83
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 2: eyed and bushy tailed, and you're so excited. I went

84
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 2: to college when I moved to LA when I was

85
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: eighteen to go to school. My aunt lived there, so

86
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 2: you know, I had the last name thing going.

87
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: We could go to school. Really inexpensive.

88
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: Yes, And I remember sitting outside the first night at

89
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: the pool, thinking.

90
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: I this is amazing. I'm living with my aunt. She

91
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: has a pool.

92
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: I'm outside and then I get a tap on the

93
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 2: shoulder at like dusk. I'm sorry, ma'am, you need to

94
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: come inside. You should probably go in side now. And

95
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: I'm like, what do you mean? My aunt lives here.

96
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 2: This is her place.

97
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: It's condos and all this.

98
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, but you're sort of in between the

99
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 2: two biggest gangs in Los Angeles, the Crips the Bloods.

100
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: You know, they come out at night. You might want

101
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 2: to just go inside. And I was like, what what

102
00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: are you talking about.

103
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 3: It's gonna say gang. Yeah, gang. Oh, look at the raffiti, honey,

104
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,799
Speaker 3: that's a gang. Get inside.

105
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: It's so true when Rosalie, when did comedy first enter

106
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: the picture for you? Was there a moment that you

107
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 2: realize that making people laugh wasn't just something you did,

108
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: It was something that you needed to do because you

109
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 2: have quite a story and you're very funny, but you

110
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 2: also have very serious shit that happened.

111
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know. It's you entertain your aunts and uncles

112
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 3: when you're a little girl at five and you go like,

113
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 3: I'm going to be an actress and they go, oh,

114
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: can you sing and dance? And you go no, ma'am,

115
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 3: And they go like not going to happen, then not

116
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 3: going to happen, and so you learned tap dance as

117
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 3: fast as you can to entertain them. Because I had

118
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 3: a big brother, by the way, who was All state football,

119
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 3: all state basketball, all state trap eight points above genius

120
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 3: level Olympian athlete, and then there was me, and I

121
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: was like, oh, I'll just make them laugh. And that's

122
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 3: how you find that the funny in you. And then

123
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: when you become a model. You know, I was raised

124
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 3: so down to earth that people would say, Rosalind, your

125
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 3: daughter is so beautiful and say, oh, not like she

126
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 3: is good, she's a good goods And so you don't

127
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: prize beauty, will you prize being a decent human being?

128
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 3: The way I was raised. So when I got presented

129
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 3: with all of this fancy life I was, I did

130
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 3: not fit in at all. Many of my photographers would say, well,

131
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 3: you're the weirdest model. You are not. I don't know

132
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 3: what's happening here, but this is not this is not

133
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 3: the way models act. And it was just because I

134
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 3: came from such a solid background.

135
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: So you were being respectful? Were you just? Were you

136
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: kind and respectful or I.

137
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: Was rascal and not very sexual as for as you know,

138
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: there's a lot of fun and games in the industry,

139
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 3: and I think probably the people who have more fun

140
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 3: at it because I was bored a lot of the time.

141
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: It's quite boring.

142
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: It just hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait.

143
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 3: Oh you and I always booked the the wacky role.

144
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: And then I I when I came back from Europe

145
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 3: after this fancy career, I land Ford. Well, first I

146
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 3: got knocked up when I came back, and so I said,

147
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 3: I said, she said, oh, oh no, oh now, everybody's

148
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 3: gonna want one. Don't do that. Oh gosh, it's true.

149
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: There's a great sentiment.

150
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 3: She said, you said you're going to keep it. I said,

151
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: well yeah, and she said, oh no, everybody's gonna want

152
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 3: one now. And it's true. About three of her girls

153
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 3: got knocked up that summer, and she was like, you

154
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 3: cost me all the Sports Illustrated covers. This is not good.

155
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: That says a lot.

156
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: That says a lot about the industy, doesn't It does priorities.

157
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 3: But it was because I was so funny that I

158
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 3: ended up saying, look, if you'll allow me to make

159
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 3: X amount of dollars to stay in the agency, Can

160
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 3: I just go study acting? And she said yes, and

161
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 3: I got to study at Carnegie Hall with Bob Modica,

162
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 3: who was the the the underneath Sandy Meisner was Bobby Modica,

163
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 3: and then in La with I mean just wonderful, wonderful,

164
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 3: strong people who didn't want you to just be fluff.

165
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: But I was funny. So I had a hard time

166
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: finding where I belonged because I look one way and

167
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: then my mouth opens, and all over they go, no,

168
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 3: not her, no, no, not her. And then I think

169
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 3: when I got sick, that was when I could no

170
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 3: longer just say other people's words. You know, I had

171
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 3: the magnificent chance to be on set with Tom Selleck

172
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 3: and Carol Burnett. I had this wonderful career, but it

173
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 3: was saying other people's words. So still, as a woman,

174
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 3: you didn't feel heard. You work so hard, you raise

175
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: your family, you're out there just tap dance and as

176
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 3: fast as you can to pay mortgages, and still you

177
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 3: don't have a voice, at least in my career. And

178
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 3: when the cancer presented itself, I definitely said, this is it.

179
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 3: I've had a good run. And then I remembered one

180
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 3: of them had spent the night overnight in a Texas jail,

181
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 3: and the other one was still in his early twenties.

182
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 3: I thought, oh, maybe can't leave boys that young. They're

183
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 3: not safe yet. You can't. You can't check out yet.

184
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: They're not they're not finished their frontal lobes. No, but

185
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 3: we need you get better stick around and and it's

186
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 3: just the decision that everybody who's listening that has faced

187
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 3: something that you know brings mortality to the forefront, they said,

188
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 3: get my affairs in order. You have no time, we

189
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: have no cure. It was it was at that doorstep

190
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 3: that you you have to make a decision whether you're

191
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 3: going to stay or go, because treatments are horrible. So

192
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 3: you make that decision. But then the other side of you,

193
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 3: that's just a goof has to come into play. You

194
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: have to have a sense of humor through doing. I'm

195
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 3: a scary, bald lady these people. Did you ever see

196
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 3: the magazines and these cancer things where it says like,

197
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: I'm a pilot, I had chema this morning, and I'm

198
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 3: flying to Denver and I'm going like, what, I'm a lizard.

199
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 3: I look like a lizard by the pool, bald, scary,

200
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 3: scaly lizard. By the pool. I just know, I don't

201
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 3: know how people do it. I don't. I admire everybody

202
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 3: who's been through treatments that are horrible, whatever help stuff

203
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: they're facing. You have to have crazy friends bring you

204
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 3: through it, and you have to make a personal decision

205
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 3: if you're gonna do it.

206
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, oh my gosh.

207
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: A lot of people when they face something that serious,

208
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: they just retreat. I know I did not personally myself

209
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 2: with an illness, but when my dad was diagnosed, I mean,

210
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: I'm an eternal optimist. I suspect you have some optimism

211
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: in there as well, and you can't. That's something you can't.

212
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: You're either born with that. Uh there you go, hope

213
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: it's something that you can't. But when that diagnosis came in,

214
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: it was like I retreated and the whole family retreated,

215
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 2: and we all just sort of hunkered down to try

216
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 2: to help each other through it. And you know, when

217
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 2: I look back on it, I feel like maybe if

218
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: I had handled things a little differently, it would have

219
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 2: been a little bit better, just in that comedy way

220
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: and that the way that I am normally. But I'm

221
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,479
Speaker 2: just you know, learning through your experience.

222
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: And when I read about it.

223
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 2: It was just you went in the entire opposite direction,

224
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: and you went straight towards the stage, towards an audience,

225
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 2: which is really unbelievable. What gave you the courage to

226
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: do that after such a devastating diagnosis and with your

227
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 2: entire career already on the upswing.

228
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: I think that's what gives you that courage. Nothing else matters.

229
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 3: When once you've faced stuff like you faced with your dad,

230
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 3: and I faced all this physically difficult stuff, nobody can

231
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 3: scare me anymore. I'm not afraid as a human. I'm

232
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 3: too old.

233
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: You're not afraid of the crips and the bloods, I am.

234
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: You're so cute.

235
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 3: They helped me find my dog. No, I love them,

236
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 3: no good people.

237
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: I couldn't help myself.

238
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 2: I'm sorry you're spilling your guts to me, and I'm

239
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 2: I can't help.

240
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: But you're catchy. It's catchy.

241
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 3: And I had a dog that got picked up by somebody,

242
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 3: and so I went and put posters and I walked

243
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 3: into the gang places because it's like they would know.

244
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, they were holding them ransom.

245
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 3: I was hoping that's all it was. I was ready

246
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 3: with my money, give me my dog. It didn't happen.

247
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

248
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 3: I know that was I took it losing her harder

249
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 3: than my breakup. Oh my god, shog Man, that's who

250
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 3: you sleep with. Now, got to get a dog.

251
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: Well, they don't talk back.

252
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 3: I'd be very afraid. I'd be if they If they

253
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 3: would start talking, the stuff they would tell on me,

254
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 3: it'd be bad.

255
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 2: Well, Comedy Save Me is sort of built on the

256
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 2: idea that humor can be really a genuine lifeline. How

257
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 2: did it save you during the hardest moments of your

258
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: health battle? Did you? Did you rely on it heavily?

259
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: I did.

260
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 3: I I had shot a hef commercial because that was

261
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: when I shot over three hundred commercials. All the people

262
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: I shot commercials became my friends. It's a large group

263
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 3: of people who can magically sell as My dad's fault

264
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 3: because he put me on a street corner selling baby

265
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 3: chicks when I was three at Easter time.

266
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's awesome.

267
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 3: He had to come from the country to get this stuff.

268
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 3: But one of my girlfriends from that world of commercials,

269
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 3: who's very successful, came to my house and said, oh no, no, no, no,

270
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 3: you're getting up. I couldn't walk one it knocked me.

271
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 3: They didn't know how to cure it, so they just

272
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 3: kept throwing everything at me. Right, so you're very in

273
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 3: a weekend state. And she said, oh, no, no, no, no,

274
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 3: you're coming with me. And she took me to an

275
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: improv group. And it wasn't my bag. I just I

276
00:14:53,840 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 3: improvise in scripts and commercials and stuff under the you know,

277
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 3: the lovely bubble of having a script. Yes, but as

278
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 3: an improver, I'm busy writing stories. I'm too much in

279
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: my head right. And also those people went to college.

280
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 3: Those people draw from have you ever noticed an improv?

281
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 3: They draw from all of this knowledge. They have to

282
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 3: have bigger IQs than a stand up I swear, I

283
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 3: swear proverb much bigger iq than we do. But I

284
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 3: was in my kitchen two o'clock in the morning after

285
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 3: a set, and my dear friend Jimmy Schen was here

286
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 3: and he said, you know why you're miserable? And I

287
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 3: said why because i'd like to know too, And he said,

288
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 3: because you should be doing stand up, not just improv truth.

289
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 3: And I had never in my life considered that. When

290
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 3: have you ever considered it?

291
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: No?

292
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: I mean I did improv early on, just to you know,

293
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: try it out. And I completely agree with you. You

294
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: have to know a lot about at least something and.

295
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: A bird to him.

296
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard, but I did morning radio a lot,

297
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: so she had to be quick, you know before you

298
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 2: you know, play the song and stuff. But I never

299
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: thought about doing comedy, although I was so drawn to it,

300
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 2: Carol Burnett being one who I'm so jealous you got

301
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 2: to work with. Oh my god, I wanted to be her.

302
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 3: I want to track her down now and bring her

303
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 3: flowers play remember me from hole wife.

304
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: You should, you should write her a letter because a

305
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 2: friend of mine knows how important she is in my life.

306
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: And on my birthday last year, an autograph picture showed

307
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: up and I was like, how did you get this?

308
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 2: She's like nowhere, you can't find her, and he said,

309
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: I wrote her letter.

310
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 3: I'm going to write a letter of her and send

311
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 3: it to you if I may, and then forward into somebody.

312

Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll send it to my friend Scott.

313
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,320

314
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 2: and the sharpie and the return envelopes so she didn't

315
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 2: have to do anything with the stamp and everything, and

316
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: she did it.

317
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, amazing, right.

318
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, such an amazing, amazing, amazing talent. I go back

319
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 3: two o'clock in the morning and watch her old shows,

320
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 3: watch her old performances, watch her instincts and what she

321
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 3: wrote about, what that show wrote about, what her career was.

322
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 3: It means so much to me because we're just out there.

323
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 3: She was just out there and did it.

324
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: Oh ah, amazing.

325
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:24,880
Speaker 3: Right.

326
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 2: My favorite part was when she would crack up. I

327
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 2: wanted to marry. My parents were a little concerned with

328
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 2: me too, because I wanted to marry Harvey Korman and

329
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 2: Tim Conway and I was like seven, you know, and

330
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: they're like, listen, that is not healthy.

331
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: But they're so funny. They would cry, they would crack

332
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: each other off.

333
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 3: Very Harvey Korn. I mean, that needs to be a

334
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,520

00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,000

00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 2: guys and they could be her grandparents.

337
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was pretty funny.

338
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 3: Sorry, No, I'm so impressed that you knew him and

339
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 3: wanted to you his name. Knew it in one.

340
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: Crazy someone else too, Jeane Wilder. He was my Yeah,

Speaker 2: of him on my wall.

343
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely, Yeah. He was one of my first loves.

344
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 2: Absolutely, So you never considered doing comedy and then you

345
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: end up on stage doing comedy.

346
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: How did that connect? That?

347
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 3: Dot it? Uh? Friends UH number one put my name

348
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 3: in the open mic.

349
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: Oh did you know or were you in the audience?

350
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 3: I had no idea. I had no idea. A friend

351
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 3: of mine said he wanted to teach. I said, I'll

352
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 3: support you. I went for a while. He said no,

353
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 3: so but another friend put my name in an open

354
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 3: mic UH list and I got up. And here's what's

355
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 3: wicked is I got up and they put a microphone

356
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 3: in my hand.

357
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: Danger. Okay, that was it.

358
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 3: That was it for me. I heard my voice amplified

359
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 3: and had the attention of four people, and I thought,

360
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 3: you're not getting out of here until I make you laugh.

361
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 3: And I did.

362
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: And I don't think that I bet.

363
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 3: I realized that that was my happy place, and that

364
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 3: we we are just a bunch of bozos on a bus.

365
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 3: We are so utterly ridiculous that there would be endless

366
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: amounts of material on the planet because everything that has

367
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 3: happened has been so absurd. And the people, I guess

368
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 3: my favorite people in the world are people that recognize

369
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 3: and play from the absurdity, yeah, Amy Poehler Tonan. I

370
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 3: mean they just play from the absurdity of life and

371
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 3: then make a joke on top of that.

372
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: And they have they have a way of doing it

373
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 2: where they don't need they don't off put anyone. They

374
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: walk that line. It's so beautiful. It's like everyone can laugh.

375
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, so great.

376
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 3: I felt so guilty. We had a kid get up

377
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 3: and he was brand new first night, but he didn't

378
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 3: memorize his set. He read from his phone, and the

379
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 3: producer wasn't that happy. But the dark side in me,

380
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 3: this is what's dangerous, is you know all the stuff

381
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 3: you're not supposed to say, you know, all that stuff

382
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 3: growing up that you're not allowed to say, especially in

383
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 3: the South, if you're not not well. The first thing

384
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 3: that came to my mind, Oh, he's from Oklahoma. Do

385
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:46,919
Speaker 3: we really need another Timothy McVay. You can't yat Rosalie,

386
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:54,199
Speaker 3: you're such a bad person. But that's that's where my brain. No.

387
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 2: But if it's funny, though, really, if it's funny, it's funny,

388
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 2: and really, you know, do you feel that people need

389
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 2: to learn how to laugh at themselves? Like do you

390
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 2: feel like you're really fully This is how I feel.

391
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: I'm just curious.

392
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: You're not really fully alive unless you can just relentlessly

393
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 2: make fun of yourself. I know, I don't mean over

394
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 2: and over again, but at certain times in your life,

395
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: you have to be able to laugh at yourself, right.

396
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 3: You know what I think? Lynn, what I'm laughing at

397
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 3: yourself as a sign of mental health.

398
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: Ooh, that should be a T shirt. Yes, you know.

399
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes I talk to people and they do not agree

400
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: with me.

401
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,239
Speaker 3: No, but if we can both laugh at something. I

402
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 3: have a cousin that I discovered I didn't even know him.

403
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 3: Turns out he's a huge political person on the other

404
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 3: side of what I believe in. And we can still

405
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 3: make ridiculous jokes. That's the only thing that can tie

406
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 3: us together because I disagree with his whole stance on stuff.

407
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 3: Until we make jokes and we send each other jokes.

408
00:21:59,040 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 3: That's love.

409
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: It certainly is. You know what else is lovely?

410
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 2: I caught a little glimpse a teaser of your I

Speaker 2: looking forward to model mom.

413

Speaker 1: Oh my god, your little teaser up there.

414
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 2: I watched last night because that's about how much time

415
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 2: I had before my eyes completely fell shut. But it's

416
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 2: about raising two boys in LA.

Speaker 1: You're a single mom.

418
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,199

00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 2: when we were growing up, doesn't it?

420
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,080

444
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 3: they give awards to people for not killing people. This

445
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,560

456
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 2: I mean that must have been crazy.

457
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,639

Speaker 3: This is not necessary. This is for fun and they

462
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,119

00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 2: But what a great thing for you to have to

469
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 2: like who thankfully they're laughing, but you're teaching them to

470
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,479
Speaker 2: laugh at themselves, which is like, sounds like to be

471
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 2: a very important.

472
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 3: I think they taught me. They tell me two things.

473
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: Number one, how to love, that's for sure what my

474
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 3: boys taught me. Number two, how to laugh at yourself.

475
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 3: They're ridiculous. They're like, there's no stop button on young men.

476
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 3: They don't have a proper stop button. Somebody needs to

477
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 3: install that because they'll just you know, I mean literally

478
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 3: they put each other in a garbage can and rolled

479
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 3: each other down the hill. What what?

480
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 2: Yes, you were blessed with two, not just one, but two.

481
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 2: I always feel a lot like there's an extra little wow.

482
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 2: You are superwoman when you know that you've raised just

483
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 2: boys like that's it's not easy this boys.

484
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 3: And I'm blessed because my ex was married before me

485
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 3: and had a grown daughter that I got so now

486
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 3: I have like the full the full experience.

487
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: That's great and help if you need it.

488
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 3: Yeah what what?

489
00:25:59,440 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: Oh?

490
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 3: Sorry, we get more money from them? Wait wait they

491
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 3: told me. Never, they said, that's not happening.

492
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: No, no, no, that's not going to happen. Are you

493
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: kidding me?

494
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,560
Speaker 2: You talk about repeating, by the way, the same mistakes

495
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 2: in every romantic relationship.

496
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: Is comedy.

497
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 2: Would you say a way of processing that or does

498
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:21,239
Speaker 2: it just make for better stories, you know, while the

499
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 2: pattern continues. And I also want to preface that by saying,

500
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 2: I find myself repeating things all the time that I've

501
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 2: already learned. And it's like, you know, I wondered if you.

502
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 3: Well, we get amnesia. We get amnesia, you know, we

503
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 3: learn a lesson and then we go like, oh that

504
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 3: was then this is different. It's not. It's it's you're

505
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 3: at a different place in the spiral, right, so you

506
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 3: can see it from a better vantage point, and maybe

507
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 3: you get out earlier.

508
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that.

509
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 3: Maybe it doesn't take you three years of a bad relationship,

510
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 3: maybe you're out in three months. Growing. But yeah, I

511
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 3: make the mistakes, and when I find I have made

512
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 3: the same damn, I'm so mad at myself, I know,

513
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 3: but we can only be where we're at, right, we

514
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 3: can only be where we're at.

515
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: But it just goes to show, you know, how much

516
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 2: comedy can help with that again laughing at yourself. It's like, wow,

517
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 2: okay again with this. I mean not even just with

518
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 2: relationships though, but mainly with relationships, whether they're you know,

519
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 2: romantic or even friends, yes, and family. You know, it's

520
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 2: it's hard sometimes.

521
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 3: Also, I got to the point where alcoholism, drugs, all

522
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff that was so prevalent in my

523
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 3: life growing up in the modeling world and all that.

524
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 3: I didn't think it was anything permanent. You're just experimenting,

525
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 3: you're just having fun, you're just exploring. But it does

526
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 3: catch some of us. It can catch somebody. So you

527
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 3: never want to poo poo it too much. It could

528
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 3: be a real problem. And for me, I would pick

529
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 3: people that were very exciting, the most generous, lovely. There's

530
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 3: nothing better than a relationship with an alcoholic. For the

531
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 3: first year, it's everything, and then well, I don't know.

532
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 3: It was New York and Paris and all that kind

533
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 3: of stuff, and it was a long time before I

534
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 3: figured out that there was something called alan On, which

535
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 3: is not Alcoholics Anonymous. It's alan On and alan On

536
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 3: is for the friends and families and workers that work

537
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 3: with people that have a real problem that's gonna you know,

538
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 3: cause their death or lose their minds or something. You know,

539
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 3: it gets very dark with addiction. And so I joined

540
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 3: alan On and it's been thirty six years being with people.

541
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 3: My sponsor's nine four years old. Wow, you know I'm

542
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 3: getting the benefit of you know, unfortunately I've lost my parents,

543
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 3: so I get the benefit of these wonderful people with

544
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 3: all this life experience that I get the benefit of.

545
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 3: So before I do something stupid, now I have somebody

546
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 3: to call first. What I like to do is do

547
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 3: something stupid and then just call to report it.

548
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: That would be easy, right, You feel so much better I.

549
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 3: Need to call her. She doesn't need to call her

550
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 3: before I do the stupid thing. So, you know, hopefully

551
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 3: had things off before I do something too bad.

552
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: Rosalie. You're so smart though, to do that.

553
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I had a hunch getting in the industry

554
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 2: that I was going to be dealing with a lot

555
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 2: of interesting personalities. And I took abnormal psychology as a

556
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 2: minor when I was going to. When I was in class,

557
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 2: I like to say in class, I really really didn't

558
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: pay attention. I was daydreaming about radio and television and

559
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 2: comedy and all that. But when I was there, I

560
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 2: thought maybe I might need to learn how to deal

561
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 2: with people. I don't know if it was my parents

562
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 2: who suggested or me, But why did it help? Like

563
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 2: what you're saying, you know, having understanding or at least

564
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 2: a minor amount of understanding about human nature. Yes, because

565
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 2: it's really difficult navigating out there in the world without.

566
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 3: And the patience and the kindness and the grace that

567
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 3: you need to allow people to be where they are

568
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 3: in their journey. You know, nobody's baked, nobody's finished. Well,

569
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 3: a lot of people are baked, but especially.

570
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 2: Today, I meant by I'm.

571
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 3: Sorry, this is not going well wait wait, wait are

572
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:51,719
Speaker 3: you because I'm not.

573
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: No, I understand when you're stick a fork in.

574
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, because it's okay to love who you want to

575
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 3: love and like the people that we're attracted to. You've

576
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 3: been in the industry the same as me. We are

577
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 3: around magnificent creatives and I wouldn't trade that for anything.

578
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 3: And you know what I've learned most of all, Oh

579
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 3: this touches me so much from my outrageous, creative mad

580
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 3: men friends, is they accept people as they are. They

581
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 3: are not judgmental, and that is something I could use

582
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 3: some guidance in sticking to not judging a person, not

583
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 3: judging myself. Let it be, Let it be, Let there

584
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 3: be peace and acceptance of people as they are where

585
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 3: they are today makes it a much kinder relationship that

586
00:31:58,800 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 3: I'm going to have with anybody.

587
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: Wow, that's so true.

588
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 2: That is I have the exact opposite problem, because when

589
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 2: you do meet people where they are, sometimes you open

590
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 2: yourself up to things that happen to you.

591
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: That you have to pull back from.

592
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 2: So it's almost like it's good that you have that little,

593
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 2: you know, protecting zone there for you to figure it

594
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 2: out first.

595
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 3: Nothing. I figured nothing out, and I know nothing, So it's.

596
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 2: Well, hindsight's always twenty twenty. But then again, like we

597
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 2: talked about earlier, we keep repeating the same mistakes and

598
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 2: thinking there's going to be a different outcome better.

599
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 3: From a higher place on the stairs.

600
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 2: Though, that's right, that's right, looking down thirty thousand feet, Rosalie,

601
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 2: you've been doing stand up weekly which is like amazing

602
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 2: to me, Like, I just love that you do this

603
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 2: and you've been doing it at major clubs around Los Angeles.

604
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 2: What what is a great night on the stage feel like?

605
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: And what does a rough night feel like? And teach you?

606
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 3: Oh, well, my favorite nights are where you bring the

607
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 3: audience up from whatever they may be experiencing, either from

608
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 3: the outside world or it's just a raunchy night and

609
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 3: you can tell that they're not quite with it and

610
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 3: all that kind of stuff. The hardest nights when they're

611
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 3: so drunk that they can't follow the evening. But both

612
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 3: are challenges that are fun because the first one, I

613
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 3: get to try some jokes that we'll see where they

614
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 3: are and then throw in, you know, lean into the

615
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 3: material that I can see that is getting them to

616
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 3: smile and laugh and enjoy themselves, because that's what you want.

617
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 3: You want them to leave feeling great about themselves, great

618
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 3: about the club, you know, just all of it. So

619
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 3: everybody can keep doing this art form because I believe

620
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 3: stand up is today's poetry, right, Oh, yes, that's my

621
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 3: opinion of it. But when everybody's too drunk to really enjoy,

622
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 3: there's a couple of things I can, I can really

623
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 3: rail on somebody pretty hard that's drunk, and at least

624
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 3: the rest of the audience is enjoying, and you hope

625
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 3: that they come up after Pokemon nose. But I watched

626
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 3: the great Greg Wilson, Greg Wilson. I watched him deal

627
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 3: with a whole table of drunks, and what he got

628
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 3: out of them was that it was somebody's birthday, and

629
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,879
Speaker 3: even though they had been mean to all the previous comedians,

630
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 3: once he got that out of them, that that's what

631
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 3: their deal was, everybody could enjoy their drunkenness. His interactions

632
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 3: with them, their jokes about the whole situation changed the

633
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 3: entire room. I've never forgotten that.

634
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: Wow yeah, wow, Yeah.

635
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 3: It was lovely. So somebody's always got a story. There

636
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 3: was a drink at the Hollywood Roosevelt. It was so

637
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 3: much fun. He had sat, unbeknownst to any of us,

638
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 3: next to one of my best friends who had come out,

639
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 3: and my best friend had said, I'm going to sit

640
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 3: in the middle where it's darker so that you can't

641
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 3: see me and make fun of me. Rosalie and I said, okay,

642
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 3: all right, sit there, And who does she sit next to?

643
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 3: The drunk of the night.

644
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: Oh so.

645
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 3: Of course I talked to both of them the whole

646
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 3: time and it was a blast. It's on my website.

647
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 3: It's the Hollywood Roosevelt I think twenty twenty four on

648
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 3: my website Rosaliemayu dot com. It has a few of

649
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 3: my sets and I and also the links to the

650
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 3: special Model Mom.

651
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 4: We'll be right back with more of the Comedy Save

652
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 4: Week podcast. Welcome back to the Comedy Save Me Podcast.

653
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 2: You've won quite a few awards, and I know it's

654
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 2: I don't You're the type of person probably like not

655
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 2: all self serving and all about that stuff, But I'd

656
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 2: like to point it out because.

657
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: It's validation in some aspects.

658
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 2: I understand the industry and how all of these awards

659
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 2: really come about. I won't discuss it, but ultimately there

660
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 2: is a lot of love that goes into it, and

661
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 2: it's validation that you're doing what you're supposed to be doing.

662
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: What did that mean to you?

663
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 2: And especially coming from comedy later, I mean like this

664
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 2: wasn't even your lane. You were modeling and acting, and

665
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, there you are making people laugh.

666
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 3: I think at the heart of it because I believe

667
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 3: that comedy is a version of poetry, kind of like

668
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 3: from the Beaten It days and Kurt Vonnegult. Back in

669
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 3: the day, that was call poetry, and I think today

670
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 3: we call it stand up comedy. But it is writing

671
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 3: the truth of your experience. And when you get an

672
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 3: award for something you've written. I've gotten standing ovations for

673
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 3: acting that meant everything at the time. That was the

674
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 3: pinnacle of success. Was a live standing ovation meant everything

675
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 3: to me. But to get it for something I've written,

676
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 3: it's just so lovely because you can't hide when you're writing.

677
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe sci fi and fiction writers can.

678
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 3: I can't seem to. In my short stories. I can't lie.

679
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 3: It just comes out. It's like this private journaling almost

680
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 3: that spills out on the page. The Combine Award was

681
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 3: so important because we had just gone through the murders

682
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 3: at Combine and this particular film festival was in Colorado.

683
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 3: The people that had done a lot of charity work

684
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 3: around the tragedy were at the festival and gave an

685
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 3: award for something. The award was for non violent conflict resolution.

686
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 3: Oh and from that I was able to talk a

687
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 3: kid down on my block with a knife who was

688
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 3: a little boy that was being bullied and he didn't

689
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 3: know how to handle it. From that, so many good

690
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 3: things have happened. The story of Pyote Knights, the short

691
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 3: story that's at the end of my Model Mom comedy special,

692
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 3: I just tell that story that happened is so important

693
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 3: for kids.

694
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: Because I.

695
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 3: You know, kids want us to know what's going on.

696
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 3: They are very impressed by the dane jerious things that

697
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 3: they face every day of school, but they can't always

698
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 3: be the ones who tell us right, And so I

699
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 3: wanted something that acknowledged what kids face every day that

700
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 3: a parent is never going to know. You can't break through,

701
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 3: especially when they're boys and you're a female, and you

702
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 3: are never going to compete with a blowjob as a mom.

703
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 3: You're not You're not going to compete weed and keep.

704
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 3: You're not going to compete. There's absolutely nothing that you

705
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 3: can say as a mother that's going to get them

706
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 3: off the scent. Nope, No, you're not going to win

707
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:38,240
Speaker 3: that argument.

708
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: No, you're fired at that point as a manager.

709
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 3: You're fired as a manager. They're climbing out, the girls

710
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 3: are climbing in, and to be able to you know,

711
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 3: to tell us story meant everything and then have people laugh.

712
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 3: But get the seriousness of it. And how brave you

713
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 3: have to be as a p You'd be so friggin

714
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 3: strong as a parent. Bot, Why do I have to

715
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 3: be strong? I didn't want to be strong. I want

716
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 3: it just gonna make it. I had you have a

717
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 3: good life. I don't know. I didn't know what I

718
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 3: was doing to get more for that. I wanted to

719
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 3: take it to the boys and go see. Do you

720
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 3: see it's important?

721
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: Do you see what your mother had to put up with?

722
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 4: You see this?

723
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god?

724
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 2: You have TikTok, you have YouTube, a series on YouTube

725
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 2: and a comedy special and did I miss anything? Some

726
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 2: live shows all over the country and around the world.

727
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 3: It's so much, Ben, I mean, I went to Spain

728
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 3: and for a friend's daughter's wedding and I got to

729
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,760
Speaker 3: do comedy in a bar and there was a lion

730
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,479
Speaker 3: tamer in the audience. Really the best life, Lynn?

731
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: What you and the lion Tamer?

732
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:54,799
Speaker 3: No? You and me?

733
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: You and me?

734
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 3: Oh?

735
00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, definitely. Do you manage which site differently in

736
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 2: terms of what you put on there?

737
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 4: Well?

738
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 3: What I like about YouTube and comedy Dynamics is the

739
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 3: distributor for Model Mom. They took clips of my special

740
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 3: and put put it on YouTube and Instagram and Facebook

741
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 3: and all that, and I was so grateful they could

742
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 3: do it and terrible editor, so I was so grateful

743
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 3: they took me on for my first special. It was

744
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 3: all through. I got introduced by a brilliant woman named

745
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 3: Melanie Vessi who started her own company called Promotional Rescue,

746
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 3: and it's to help numb skulls who are terrible at

747
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 3: social media rescue their careers from the botched. You know,

748
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 3: at posts we tend to make because we think we're

749
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 3: being very clever, and she's going, like, not professional, Rosalie,

750
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 3: not professional. So with all of these people helping me,

751
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 3: one of my favorite there's two things that are my

752
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 3: favorite on YouTube that I did before I knew I

753
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 3: was going to even stick with this comedy Girl's road

754
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 3: Trip was my mom and dad had passed away, and

755
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,399
Speaker 3: they told me we were going to have to sell

756
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 3: the house, and we had someone interested. You're going to

757
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 3: have to come here and close it up. And the

758
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 3: only thing I wanted that was left because we had

759
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 3: already done that. But the only thing I wanted that

760
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 3: was left was dad's goose and somebody said, a goose.

761
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 3: You're going to go to Louisiana for a goose and

762
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 3: I said, no, it's a cement goose. And he used

763
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,919
Speaker 3: to talk to it in the backyard and Mom said,

764
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 3: they're going to think you crazyly, don't do that. Don't

765
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 3: stop talking to the goose. So I wanted to go

766
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 3: get the goose. And the first female door guy at

767
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 3: the comedy store was a girl named Jessica Wellington, and

768
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 3: I told her I was going to have to drive

769
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 3: to Louisiana by myself and she said, oh, I'll go

770
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 3: with you. We can do comedy along the way.

771
00:42:58,440 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 1: What a lovely thing.

772
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 3: And so I taped it on my iPhone four and

773
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 3: it's a series.

774
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 2: You have to buy the iPhone four because it wasn't

775
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 2: technically as amazing as the iPhone forty one right now, right, oh.

776
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: My god, and listen.

777
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 3: I sold it. I sold the series to the producer

778
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 3: of Honey Booboo and then they pulled it because COVID

779
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 3: hit Oh Travel Shows. So anybody out there interested in

780
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 3: comedy girls road Trip, we have it. It's ready to go.

781
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: Oh yes, are you kidding me? You're gonna have a takeer.

782
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 2: I guarantee you after this, heirs, that's amazing you to

783
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 2: have the forethought to do that, though, to tape yourselves.

784
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous. We were rare. I took her out to

785
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 3: dinner at Denny's to try to whine and dine her,

786
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 3: to say where you really go with me and we

787
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 3: really will call clubs along the way and see if

788
00:43:58,080 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 3: we can get up.

789
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 2: Well, did you get her the Grand Slam breakfast? Because

790
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 2: that would have you know?

791
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 3: We did? We did, we did. We did a Denny's tour.

792
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:05,479
Speaker 3: We did.

793
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: That's great. They needed that. Though at Denny's, you know

794
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 1: they do.

795
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 3: They won't let me advertise for them. I don't know why.

796
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,320
Speaker 3: I'm so I'm so interesting.

797
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, you're amazing. You're such a breath of

798
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 2: fresh air. I mean, you would never know what you've

799
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 2: gone through. But I do feel like kindred spirit in

800
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:35,319
Speaker 2: a way, because you just you just never know with

801
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,480
Speaker 2: people what they're living, what their lives are.

802
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: And then when.

803
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 2: You see somebody like you who's just turning every all

804
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 2: the lemons into lemonade and pushing forward, it gives me

805
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 2: hope and me inspiration and hopefully everyone listening to keep

806
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,879
Speaker 2: pushing forward in their life. Because what would you give

807
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 2: for advice for an aspiring creative, whether it was comedy

808
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 2: or or or anything creative in their life, what would

809
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 2: you say if they were in a situation where life

810
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 2: has thrown them a lemon.

811
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 3: I'm a firm believer in going to bed. Just go

812
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 3: to bed, just give up.

813
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: Oh, shut the light out and let it be.

814
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 3: They just go to bed, go to bed, and when

815
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 3: you can finally rouse yourself, call a friend.

816
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: That's good advice.

817
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:26,760
Speaker 3: This friend was Melanie Vessie, that promotional rescue person, genius woman.

818
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 3: And I said, I can't even get people to come

819
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 3: to the clubs. I can't. I don't know what to do.

820
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:33,560
Speaker 1: I should quit.

821
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 3: It's been five years, I should wit, and now it's

822
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 3: been ten. Right, But that day she said, where's your special?

823
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 3: I said, what, where's your special? That's how people will

824
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 3: get to know you. And I went back to bed,

825
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 3: and I went to bed for three days. I couldn't

826
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 3: imagine she was right. I couldn't even think I had

827
00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 3: a special already. I couldn't even think about it. And

828
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 3: it took me another three years to finish writing what

829
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 3: I wanted to say, and two years to film it

830
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 3: and edit it and sell it to Comedy Dynamics. It

831
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 3: takes a long time for people like me who are

832
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 3: new to it. But the best advice is give yourself time, downtime,

833
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 3: Go to bed, go to the beach, hang out with

834
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 3: your friends, give yourself a break so that your natural talent,

835
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 3: your great disappointment in humanity, your great sadness and with

836
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:44,399
Speaker 3: the shape with the earth, can bubble up and tell

837
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 3: you can't not talk about it, and then you've got

838
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 3: something to say that people will love you for because

839
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:53,920
Speaker 3: we're all feeling it.

840
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 2: Great advice, great wisdom from thirty thousand feet.

841
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: Up, important to hear.

842
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 2: I would have never thought of taking a break because

843
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 2: you get so inside your head. You're just you're your

844
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,359
Speaker 2: own worst enemy. You get in the way of your

845
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,840
Speaker 2: own success, and you hold yourself back because you're you

846
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 2: have too much time to to just barrage yourself with

847
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:20,440
Speaker 2: all the wrong stuff. So what you're saying is change

848
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,399
Speaker 2: the channel for a minute, go do something else, get

849
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,439
Speaker 2: your mind off of all of that, and you will

850
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 2: have clarity. That's really good advice. I haven't been to

851
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 2: a beach in like twenty years. Maybe that's my problem.

852
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:40,120
Speaker 3: Right right the time after the treadmill, that people like you, gosh,

853
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 3: your whole work ethic is so strong that it seems

854
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 3: wrong to go to the beach.

855
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: If that means it does, I feel guilty. Yeah. People

856
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:52,280
Speaker 1: are scared.

857
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 2: They're told, you know, well, if you leave, your job

858
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 2: won't be here when you get back. Someone else will

859
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 2: get it. Someone's gonna be better. So you just yeah,

860
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 2: you know, especially when you work for yourself.

861
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,279
Speaker 3: Eileen Ford told me, don't hang on too long. Don't

862
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 3: hang on to something. Let somebody else get your job. Fine,

863
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 3: who cares, You're gonna write a movie, You're going to

864
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 3: go to the moon whatever.

865
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: Oh I love Eileen.

866
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, you don't need to hang on to anything

867
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 3: that was the success. That is successful. You don't need

868
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 3: to hang on to that because the only thing you

869
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 3: ever have is you. You're still there. They can't take

870
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 3: anything away, they can't give you any It doesn't that's

871
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,760
Speaker 3: not how it works. But I only know that because

872
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 3: I'm mentally ill. No all just a little bit, just

873
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 3: a little nutty, because no, because I had that that

874
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 3: terrible break. It's like I've lived, you know, two distinct parts.

875
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 3: The people please are you know kid to the adult

876
00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 3: with an adult soul, with soul desires. It's all different now,

877
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 3: it's really different. Nobody can hurt you, nobody can take

878
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 3: anything away from you. It's not possible.

879
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 4: Wow.

880
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 2: What an incredible role model you are too, not just

881
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 2: for your sons, but for you know, speaking this right

882
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 2: now because you know sometimes people need to hear that.

883
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 2: And that's all it is, is like this light goes

884
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,960
Speaker 2: off and you're like, oh, yeah, I don't remember when

885
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 2: it was.

886
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 1: It was.

887
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 2: I was with a man that I thought I was

888
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 2: going to marry, and I was so gung ho about

889
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 2: my career, and I remember, I don't know what came

890
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 2: over me. But one day I realized, well if I don't,

891
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 2: if I don't go off and do what I love,

892
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to regret it and make him regret that

893
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 2: I didn't. And I got I put my big girl

894
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 2: panties on it, and I went up to him and

895
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 2: I said, I love you, but if I don't do

896
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,239
Speaker 2: this and give it one hundred and ten percent, I

897
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 2: won't be able to be here for like, I'll always

898
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 2: regret it, and I hope you won't hate me forever.

899
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 2: But I and then I realized day you can change

900
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 2: your life. You can change your life on a dime

901
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,279
Speaker 2: if you choose to do it and then follow through

902
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:09,800
Speaker 2: with it. And that's so scary to everybody, including myself

903
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 2: at the time, but you have to do it and

904
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 2: then be successful and realize, Okay, we can jump off

905
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:16,839
Speaker 2: a cliff and we'll land in the water and then

906
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 2: we'll float back up and we'll make something else.

907
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's all I mean. You know, when you listen

908
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:25,760
Speaker 3: to those motivational things from millionaires and how to whatever

909
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 3: finances and stuff, they always say, you can't keep a

910
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,200
Speaker 3: millionaire down because a millionaire knows how to make a million,

911
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 3: so you lose a million. And I mean, I wish

912
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 3: that applied to men.

913
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we can dream.

914
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 3: But I do feel that I wasn't and it's not

915
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 3: a good enough person, but I wasn't grounded enough to

916
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:57,240
Speaker 3: be able to maintain who I am in a close relationship.

917
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 3: And I think also I wasn't so concerned with picking

918
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 3: a really good person as I was with becoming a

919
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 3: good person myself, and so it never occurred to me.

920
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 3: I'm not a great conclusion drawer, apparently, I don't, you know,

921
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 3: I'm a great observationalist because I can see things and

922
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 3: react to them on a stage and in front of

923
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 3: a camera. A lens is my favorite relationship. But I

924
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 3: don't know how to draw the conclusion. Therefore, this person

925
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 3: might not be a good person at this point in

926
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 3: his life, and so step away. I didn't have the

927
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 3: confidence in myself that you need to be with somebody

928
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 3: who's working on themselves themselves. I don't know English anymore. Okay, whatever, I.

929
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: Know exactly what you mean. No, No, you're right, you're right.

930
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 1: That thought is to keep finishing that thought, because that's amazing.

931
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 3: Somebody who has decided to be a good dude. That's all,

932
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:05,879
Speaker 3: you know, the no asshole rule?

933
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh wait, what's that? I feel a punch.

934
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:13,919
Speaker 3: There's a great show, comedy show, and it says no assholes.

935
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:19,839

937
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:22,560

Speaker 3: Forget about yourself. This is all about me. You need

940
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 3: to lose weight so that I don't have to take

941
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:33,359
Speaker 3: care of you in your old age, So damn it.

942
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 3: Selfish I'm selfish, but healthfully selfish.

943
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 2: Healthfully is the most important thing. If you don't have health,

944
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,760
Speaker 2: you have nothing. So everything and all the great advice

945

Speaker 2: you just heard from Rosalie, also remember that health is paramount,

946
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,360
Speaker 2: as you know, very intimately.

947
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 3: Good check, ladies, go get check. Joln Hey, I'll tell

Speaker 3: you a cancer joke.

949
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: Okay, I've never had anyone saying that to me before,

950
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 1: but yeah, please.

951
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 3: Here's one, here's one. Please see if I can, if

952
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 3: I can, if I can do this. They they told

953
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 3: me that get my affairs in order. You won't have

954
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 3: any time. There's no known cure. There's no known cause

955
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 3: for the kind of cancer you have, triple negative breast cancer.

956
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 3: I said, oh, that's so negative. This is a triple

957
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 3: negative breast cancer. And then I was watching the Dick

958
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 3: Doc Lynn. I was watching the Dick Dock at the

959
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 3: end of twenty twenty three. They were celebrating the dawn

960
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty four, and there was a dancing doctor.

961
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:39,280
Speaker 3: We all need dancing doctors, don't we on TikTok Dancing

962
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:44,040
Speaker 3: Doctor video. But as he pointed, in his dance routine,

963
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:47,719
Speaker 3: there were bubbles that would pop up and in the bubble. Oh,

964
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna cry. It said, these are the cancers we solved.

965
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 3: And it did one, and it did the two, and

966
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 3: the three, and the four and the five, and it

967
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 3: got to mine. And so the next day I called

968
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 3: the hospital. All my doctors are at Saint John's and

969
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 3: I said, is this true? Was triple negative breast cancer

970
00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 3: solved this year? And they said, well, we have discovered

971
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:18,879
Speaker 3: the protein that caused it, so now we know how

972
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 3: to address it. And I said, well, what is it?

973
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:26,720
Speaker 3: And they said, it's the same protein that causes testicular cancer.

974
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:41,760
Speaker 3: And I thought, oh, I always knew I had balls.

975
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 1: Now is this whole thing? You're going to cry just

976
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,279
Speaker 1: to get here. You're amazing.

977
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I love you so much and I

978
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 2: just met you, Rosalie.

979
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:51,800
Speaker 1: Wow wow.

980
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 2: And and soon after obviously you've got some treatment and

981
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 2: you are doing.

982
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: It on the side, are you.

983
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 3: I was diagnosed in twenty thirteen, so this is ten

984
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 3: years later they made the discovery. So they cured mine

985
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 3: by growing everything they had at it and got lucky jeez,

986
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 3: and cured me. Yeah wow, yeah yeah. But for them

987
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,399
Speaker 3: to now know the cause of it, they can do

988
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 3: all the gene work to solve it a lot easier

989
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 3: than throwing because I mean the stuff they threw at

990
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 3: me was like for a six foot five, three hundred

991
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:28,879
Speaker 3: and fifty pounds man. They just had to They had

992
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 3: no choice.

993
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: Poor thing.

994
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:31,439
Speaker 3: It was real, it was recked.

995
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 2: They had to kill pretty much like, yeah, they have

996
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 2: to kill all the cells in your body to get

997
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 2: rid of it, and somehow you have to survive that.

998
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable.

999
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 2: Oh wow, And like ten years is huge because usually

1000
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:49,919
Speaker 2: five years. Interestingly enough, they say that about addiction as well,

1001
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 2: five years and they also said that about like cancer

1002
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:53,919
Speaker 2: as well.

1003
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:57,560
Speaker 1: So you've beat the odds in both. That's amazing. You're

1004
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 1: you're an amazing person. Wow. What life?

1005
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 2: I mean a light and the life I'm gonna end

1006
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:08,279
Speaker 2: this with. We always end sort of the same way.

1007
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,240
Speaker 2: Well at least I'm trying to say that now because

1008
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:12,440
Speaker 2: i'd like to. But here it is, what is the

1009
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 2: moment or the memory or the piece of comedy or

1010
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 2: something that you saw or heard or maybe even you

1011
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 2: created yourself that reached in your soul and genuinely saved you.

1012
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 3: I was having a rough night at the comedy store.

1013
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 3: I followed a megastar who happened to be a very

1014
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 3: blue comic, very dirty, dirty, dirty stuff. And I walked

1015
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:44,280
Speaker 3: out to do my set after that and told mom chokes,

1016
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 3: it was a massive fail, and I got so angry

1017
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 3: at myself. But the next week the comedy store put

1018
00:56:54,320 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 3: me in the exact same place, right after this megastar

1019
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:06,800
Speaker 3: telling all the dirty, dirty, dirty jokes, and I walked

1020
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 3: out and said, put your dicks away, your mother is here,

1021
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 3: And that's when I knew I had what it takes

1022
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 3: to command a stage, to reset the room and let's go.

1023
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 1: Wow.

1024
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 2: By the way, I think that was in your promo

1025
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 2: because I spit out my drink.

1026
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was my big revelation that, wow, this was

1027
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 3: going to be something that I could be my true

1028
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 3: self doing. Which doesn't everybody need that and want that

1029
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 3: to be able to be yourself?

1030
00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 2: Oh hell yeah, Like you give everyone who's around you

1031
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 2: permission to be themselves. So, you know, I feel looser

1032
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,959
Speaker 2: than I've ever felt before, you know, like almost off

1033
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,439
Speaker 2: my game a little bit. You know, you started going

1034
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 2: into like a southern accent when you were talking earlier,

1035
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 2: and sometimes that happens to me too, But I would

1036
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 2: never tell that to anyone and you brought it out

1037
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 2: in me.
