Speaker 1: Forever. Look mad, oh, I see you? Why why and
Speaker 1: look over there? How is that culture? Yeah? Goodness, you're
Speaker 1: going to take me to task on something. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: hate that you always say how tired you are? I
Speaker 1: hate that I always say how tired? It's so uninteresting,
Speaker 1: it's so bad, it's so dumb. Why do people do it?
Speaker 1: Why do I do it? It's I would even go
Speaker 1: as far as to say, I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: people who their thing is how tired they are? And
Speaker 1: that's you. And I'm so sad to say that's become
Speaker 1: your identity. Here's so much more dynamic than that. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying it's my identity. Who's saying it's my identity?
Speaker 1: I am. You're saying it's so much like you've been
Speaker 1: so tired? Yeah, I don't, but I am. I am worried.
Speaker 1: Are you too tired to talk about it? I'm worried
Speaker 1: that it um is, it is becoming your No, no,
Speaker 1: no no, I'm worried that it's gonna it's it's pretending
Speaker 1: something bad? What is port? And I think I'm worried
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a disease? Okay, stop, because I asked
Speaker 1: so I said to Bowen, stop talking about how tired
Speaker 1: you are. And he looks at me and he's like
Speaker 1: sunk sunk down in the couch and he goes, what
Speaker 1: if I have something? And I said, well, bitch, you

Speaker 1: I think you're fine. But here's the thing is, it's
Speaker 1: like everyone's tired, you know what, I know, everyone's time.
Speaker 1: Literally everyone is tired, but I just for for this
Speaker 1: particular trip. It's like it's that whole millennial burnout thing
Speaker 1: where there's no boundary between work and relaxation and like
Speaker 1: that's just what it's become. So and so I and
Speaker 1: so I've been worn out by not working. I'm also
Speaker 1: out of high energy, and I think that maybe makes
Speaker 1: you tired. It's like one when a when a dog
Speaker 1: that's a little bit older, no shade, sees a younger
Speaker 1: dog that has a lot more energy. It's like, I'm
Speaker 1: already done you can tell the dog the older dog.
Speaker 1: It's like getting more tired just by watching what's happened.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be that older dog, though I
Speaker 1: want to be I want to be um the sprightly thing. Anyway,

Speaker 1: have a hole in the market, you have to fill
Speaker 1: that hole, you know who? I bet it's fun at Disneyland,
Speaker 1: our guests, our guests. But but one just shook his head.
Speaker 1: And that makes me feel like maybe not, but I
Speaker 1: feel like I would crack and right open at Disneyland,
Speaker 1: crack it, crack it at Disneyland. I feel like you
Speaker 1: just love it. But with him from the heads, from
Speaker 1: the shake of the head, I don't know. Well, we'll

Speaker 1: your Britney Spears at the Viet Maze when she called
Speaker 1: when Michael Jackson thought he was getting the Artist of
Speaker 1: the Millennium award because Britney Spears presenting said I consider
Speaker 1: him to be the artist of the millennium, and then
Speaker 1: he Mishurt mistook that to be It was like the
Speaker 1: video Van Guard Award. You're right, that is the situation.
Speaker 1: That is what we're saying. We're saying one of our
Speaker 1: guests is She's Michael and I'm Brittany, which tracks we're
Speaker 1: both entire straights. Anyway, Okay, well, these guests are iconic
Speaker 1: to me, and I even emailed the guests after they
Speaker 1: did I don't think so, honey, because I'm such a fan.
Speaker 1: And it was so gagged that they were at and well,
Speaker 1: this is the gag is that one of our guests
Speaker 1: was directing, and then in between takes she was like,
Speaker 1: when are Paul and I coming on? And I was like,
Speaker 1: I literally said whenever trash. I was talked about Disneyland
Speaker 1: for two minutes, and I felt I felt really self conscious.

Speaker 1: want to do it. Well, you don't have a comment
Speaker 1: alours are different, so but they're not. This is no.
Speaker 1: I well I know, you go ahead, you go ahead. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is like the version of what we just said,
Speaker 1: cut it out. Year is I don't know, twenties, Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh. Lower's side set the scene on set broad City,
Speaker 1: broad City, Comedy Central. So I had seen Bowen audition
Speaker 1: for you know, Sundry Things, Caddy sales clerk part that
Speaker 1: we had whatever it was for Broad City, so we
Speaker 1: were I already knew he was coming in, but I
Speaker 1: didn't know of am right. I just had known him
Speaker 1: for the audition. But he comes on to set and
Speaker 1: after the first take. I don't know if you remember this,
Speaker 1: after the first take, you were so fucking funny. I
Speaker 1: literally wit said. I came up to you, I having
Speaker 1: already met you, and I said who are you? I remember,
Speaker 1: I truly did that. I said who are you? And
Speaker 1: then we changed some stuff later in the scene that
Speaker 1: ended up getting cut that had you in this stretcher
Speaker 1: in the end, because I was like more more, but
Speaker 1: it is the same, the same story because I came
Speaker 1: to set and then she was like, wait till you
Speaker 1: see that. Truly truly not a joke because I was
Speaker 1: on set that day and I've heard of you before
Speaker 1: I saw a take that she was already talking about someone.
Speaker 1: Not a joke. I remember. I was just sitting with
Speaker 1: with with with Um with background people and we were
Speaker 1: just hanging out and that little pop up space and
Speaker 1: I saw Paul walk in and I was like, Wow,
Speaker 1: that's Paul. Double you down and I love and he
Speaker 1: looked at me and smiled and I was like oh
Speaker 1: and like and he seems like such a nice person.
Speaker 1: And then right before I left, right before I right
Speaker 1: after I wrapped, I made I like, was so this person?
Speaker 1: But I went up to Luc She was sitting with
Speaker 1: with Alana, just a video village, and I went up
Speaker 1: to them. It was like before I go, but she
Speaker 1: I just have to tell you, I fucking love real
Speaker 1: Housetives of South Boston. All right, I decaid, I love Pollylo.
Speaker 1: I love it was that Boston and then you and
Speaker 1: then you said um or you said yeah yeah, well
Speaker 1: like you said like yeah, well thanks a lot or
Speaker 1: something that you went into the accident. It was like
Speaker 1: a lovely dropped in and that was the point of arch.
Speaker 1: That was the gorge and wow, I mean that was
Speaker 1: going back from set glowing that day. I was so
Speaker 1: happy and I went to Rice to Riches to reward
Speaker 1: myself love Richard. What is it's the right person. You
Speaker 1: don't have to be okay to Riches. It transcends Rice.
Speaker 1: But you know that the Laura of Rice Riches, right, No, no,
Speaker 1: the lore is this well yeah, in the I believe
Speaker 1: it's the nineties. When it first opened, it was opened
Speaker 1: as a mobb front, like laundering money, laundering money. But
Speaker 1: then the rice pudding was too damn good, and the
Speaker 1: city was like, it will not go well. It was
Speaker 1: it was making too much money. It wasn't working as
Speaker 1: a front because the rice pudding was so good. It
Speaker 1: is so good, and so it doesn't that help the
Speaker 1: laundering scheme if you would think, I think it doesn't.
Speaker 1: I never watched Breaking Bad, Just kidding, this is literally
Speaker 1: the plot of small time crooks. Yeah, yeah, exactly with
Speaker 1: tray think at the network show yeah, bad Girls or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're talking about the Woody film We Are, which you
Speaker 1: brought us here, just kidding. And so the rice pudding
Speaker 1: was literally too good. I believe that's what happened. I
Speaker 1: think they had to buy out the mobsters or something.
Speaker 1: And so now it's just it exists, pretty clear. That's fun.
Speaker 1: That's like a victory for food. It is food can
Speaker 1: be any conquer all who can conquer all food might
Speaker 1: get us out of this mess where this speaking in
Speaker 1: this administration, it's still happening. Is this crazy? I never
Speaker 1: thought we'd be here. I never thought we'd be here.
Speaker 1: That's the first time I've ever been said to you know.
Speaker 1: One of the reasons I really like Happa Hot associate
Speaker 1: producer Alec is because I came in here just now
Speaker 1: when he was watching Pete Buddha Judge videos. Wow, that
Speaker 1: you're with it. Um, that guy's great. We met him
Speaker 1: very briefly when you did say where we met a like,
Speaker 1: we just met him. He is great. He's great so far.
Speaker 1: So it was like at a backstage of I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't need to, but because you want to backstage
Speaker 1: of Larry King. Honey doesn't age well, no, no, you
Speaker 1: know what doesn't age? Well, Um, well, just that reference
Speaker 1: because it is Charlie Rose. I think that does age. Well.
Speaker 1: He looks as great and he's sharp as hell. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he actually doesn't age at all. I feel like he's
Speaker 1: been as you know. Yeah, he's constantly like in that
Speaker 1: like kind of like what's the boss from the Simpsons.
Speaker 1: Smiths is the assistant Mr Burns. Mr. He's like in
Speaker 1: Mr Burns like eternally ancient, yes, but always with That's
Speaker 1: the thing. He can never look worse, you know, so exactly,
Speaker 1: he's really Yeah, he likes set his image at like
Speaker 1: eighty and they were like, this is like chic for you, right,
Speaker 1: so they've preserved him, yes, which which we love. Um
Speaker 1: oh my god. I we really were just on a
Speaker 1: fun polly little kick or a little little viewing already on.
Speaker 1: You guys were like that was like above average, Like
Speaker 1: that was like the early days of above average. I
Speaker 1: was also a channel partner, but like they didn't make
Speaker 1: our videos, but they seemed to make a lot of yours,
Speaker 1: and I was like, well, it's because they're really fucking good. Thanks.
Speaker 1: That was a fun time, It really was. It was
Speaker 1: like we had just moved to l a um and
Speaker 1: we just got to make stuff in this all and
Speaker 1: we're actually like now trying to get back to that
Speaker 1: place of just being able to be like, here's a fun,
Speaker 1: dumb idea. We want to just go make it and
Speaker 1: it doesn't mistakes and it's just for us and it
Speaker 1: was a really it was fun. And you know, actually
Speaker 1: I think Allana produced some of those Real Housewives because
Speaker 1: she was staying with us at the time of pitching
Speaker 1: Broad City, sleeping on our couch and truly like holding
Speaker 1: a boom yeah yeah, yeah, like being like okay, she
Speaker 1: was a ding as well, like it was. It was
Speaker 1: very but it was a really fun time to be
Speaker 1: I believe that too. Yeah, oh yeah, that is a thing. Though.
Speaker 1: It's like as as your careers like start to get
Speaker 1: bigger and like things get more, you kind of do
Speaker 1: you lose the opportunity to just do whatever the fuck
Speaker 1: And that's then you kind of are like, oh, I
Speaker 1: missed that time. But also at that time you were
Speaker 1: fully I was waiting tables and like doing miserable, like
Speaker 1: how am I going to like find my next check?
Speaker 1: But also you did have freedom to do kind of
Speaker 1: whatever the fuck. Yeah, and I think I think it
Speaker 1: makes you braver too, because there's tho eyeballs, it's like whatever,
Speaker 1: you know, I missed that time for that, right, And
Speaker 1: I don't know, does it will it like loop background
Speaker 1: to that kind of weird? It wasn't weird. It was
Speaker 1: like a great time of just like all this stuff
Speaker 1: sort of whatever whatever was. I don't know. I always
Speaker 1: think to myself, like, are people that are super successful,
Speaker 1: are they actually able to do whatever they want? Like?
Speaker 1: Because but no, I don't think so. Well. I think
Speaker 1: it depends because sometimes you look at I don't know
Speaker 1: sometimes and this doesn't happened now for years. But I
Speaker 1: remember I used to watch like Ben Stiller at the
Speaker 1: Oscars and I was like, no, he didn't ask anybody.
Speaker 1: He's just doing this thing. And I'm not I'm asking
Speaker 1: no judgment good or bad. I'm just like he's doing
Speaker 1: whatever he wants, you know. So I think sometimes you
Speaker 1: get permission, but but I don't know, but you gotta
Speaker 1: be Stiller. Yeah, I've got to. Unfortunately Stiller, Well, I
Speaker 1: mean one of like the and correct me if I'm wrong.
Speaker 1: But I feel like the like the prevailing narrative of
Speaker 1: Broad City, especially when it first started out, was that
Speaker 1: it was like especially the writer's room was just like
Speaker 1: pretty like it was just like self taught. It was
Speaker 1: these people who like came together and they were just like, well,
Speaker 1: figure this out together. And then it ended up being
Speaker 1: this thing that like broke open all these just it
Speaker 1: just it just like was so new and so cool
Speaker 1: and like that was what ended up sort of giving
Speaker 1: it its identity and like and like Chris was saying
Speaker 1: the other day that it was a lot of stories
Speaker 1: from your life about like being like being in New
Speaker 1: York and being young, and like all of them, every
Speaker 1: single every single thing happened to either one of us
Speaker 1: or somebody we know, or something that happened to all
Speaker 1: of us, you know, and that kind of made it
Speaker 1: feel like, oh, this is our story, has to be
Speaker 1: other people's story and set it. And I was true
Speaker 1: of the in the room too. People would be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I got locked out in this, and they're like, I
Speaker 1: got locked out in the I got locked out in this.
Speaker 1: So every one had those twenties bobo stories. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: do think that's why people were like, oh, yeah, that
Speaker 1: is New York because it really was. Yeah, it's like
Speaker 1: a like a surreal like that scene was it. She
Speaker 1: takes some sort of like drug and then she's like
Speaker 1: having like a full she has like a full day
Speaker 1: and she sees that like this is season one. I think, yeah, him, Okay,
Speaker 1: that like really struck to to me, just like having
Speaker 1: one cold brew. It was like that's me. That's me
Speaker 1: with a little bit of caffeine. Like creatures like and
Speaker 1: I'm in ye and you have painted on eyebrows. Yeah
Speaker 1: for some reason. Yeah, but actually that from that episode,
Speaker 1: that crack thing that cooks, Yeah, she cooked once for Yeah,
Speaker 1: she made me. We had to work one so she
Speaker 1: ate it. Yes, it was like, I'm so high. I
Speaker 1: went to bed. We woke up the next day to
Speaker 1: go shoot something. I'm going to back up even a
Speaker 1: little more before we actually did. So I ate it,
Speaker 1: and then I was going to go watch Paul do
Speaker 1: a show Gentrify remember and so, but I was so
Speaker 1: absolutely out of my mind because she she actually had
Speaker 1: me do was actually eat weed, like actual weed that
Speaker 1: she baked into it, but like you're just eating weed,
Speaker 1: but she has the name was the name for um
Speaker 1: oh shoot, I should know it. But it's denser than
Speaker 1: edible though, like those things can get crazy. She was laughing,
Speaker 1: but also crimes. Would I forget what you did? Something
Speaker 1: happened and there was this moment of silence and I
Speaker 1: was like what she was like the crowd? She was
Speaker 1: out of it. I had like leave early, took her home,
Speaker 1: she went to bed, and then she woke up. The
Speaker 1: next day we were making a short and I was
Speaker 1: like I had been like for like a year, being
Speaker 1: like Paul, I want to be in front of the
Speaker 1: camera too, and so finally he was like, Okay, let's
Speaker 1: do it. And so we'd written a short that I
Speaker 1: was going to be in and we woke up the
Speaker 1: next morning to be in that short so high, and
Speaker 1: she woke up and she said, oh no, I'm still
Speaker 1: so high from the thing that she serves Abby in
Speaker 1: that episode. And then you had that experience. You cannot
Speaker 1: just sunk around with edibles. I swear to God one
Speaker 1: time I had an edible that was like cooked by
Speaker 1: someone at work and like it was like a brownie,
Speaker 1: and I thought, oh, I mean, it's like Alex who cares?
Speaker 1: And I ate it? And I when I tell you,
Speaker 1: I remember I ate it at work. I worked at
Speaker 1: Brooklyn Crab in Red Hook Um and we went to
Speaker 1: this restaurant like probably in Go honest, and I remember
Speaker 1: I like sat down and ordered food, took one step
Speaker 1: of my red wine, and was like, oh, I have
Speaker 1: to leave right now or I'll die. And I remember
Speaker 1: I left, like and I lived pretty close around there.
Speaker 1: I somehow made it to my apartment. I remember thinking
Speaker 1: like seven or eight times I have to lay face
Speaker 1: down on the street right like I finally get there,
Speaker 1: laid in my bed, but I realized I didn't want
Speaker 1: to lay It's like the kind of high where you're
Speaker 1: like you don't know whether you want music on not down,
Speaker 1: walk around what happens in the Wizard of Oz the Tornado,
Speaker 1: and it felt like a giant picked up my bedroom
Speaker 1: and through it and I was projectile and I was like,
Speaker 1: this is inedible, this is marijuana. Yeah, Alex, Alex, And
Speaker 1: now he's the GM in that placed you up when
Speaker 1: you swing by. We have a toxic relationship. I love
Speaker 1: the institution crap, but but but it's that thing of
Speaker 1: like what we were both servers together and he did
Speaker 1: the shitty thing one time where like it was like
Speaker 1: almost ten pm in the restaurant was closing, and like
Speaker 1: at nine pm a table walked in and he said
Speaker 1: to the host, just don't give me that table, and
Speaker 1: she was scared of him, so she gave it to
Speaker 1: someone else, and I was like, you're a piece of ship.
Speaker 1: I was like that sucks. Like I really got in
Speaker 1: his face and was like you suck to work with.
Speaker 1: You're not like like this is really like that was
Speaker 1: funked up what you did. And I see it and
Speaker 1: like I'm not afraid of you. And then he became GM. Okay,
Speaker 1: and that's why you just keep your mouth shut at
Speaker 1: your restaurant job, because it's just a job. But I
Speaker 1: always got like very involved socially at my restaurant jobs,
Speaker 1: really service jobs. I think everybody does. I mean for me,
Speaker 1: that happened, like everybody right after we would end, especially
Speaker 1: it was a weekend, would immediately go and spend half
Speaker 1: the money they just made on drinks. And then to
Speaker 1: be like this weird little circle of like who was
Speaker 1: going to hook up with who? It became a community.
Speaker 1: Yeah did you wait tables? Oh? Yeah, I did too,
Speaker 1: You did too? Yeah. I waited at UM Tavern on
Speaker 1: the Green Wow and UM one Central Park South in
Speaker 1: the Plaza Hotel where you don't get tips because it's
Speaker 1: all like tourists, you know, it's like European tourists, And
Speaker 1: so I did not make mine. I thought it would
Speaker 1: make a ton there, and I know those like nice
Speaker 1: restaurants off in their traps, yes, oh yeah for the
Speaker 1: people working in them. Yeah. If you think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be oh, it's gonna be great tips, and it's really
Speaker 1: not there. I were there for a summer, and then
Speaker 1: I worked at Tavern for a summer, and I it
Speaker 1: was like a hundred degrees in New York in the
Speaker 1: summer and you have to wear like a tuxedo in
Speaker 1: in the outdoors. So I one day at the end
Speaker 1: of my shift walked off with a tuxedo never went back.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, but you kept I did I
Speaker 1: have like a mint green very short tuxedo jacket. Yeah,
Speaker 1: anybody wants to borrow I think it could be I
Speaker 1: should wear it to something. You really should. And also
Speaker 1: I remember justifying having like bizarre clothes because like it's
Speaker 1: a prop. Please the amount of the amount of bizarre
Speaker 1: props we have. Do you know that we have a
Speaker 1: storage container in Hollywood Stord unit unit amazing, give us
Speaker 1: give us a little walk through. Well, okay, it had
Speaker 1: to be condition because of the wigs. I didn't want
Speaker 1: the wigs melting or getting flat, so air conditions. It's
Speaker 1: actually real culture number nine three, ta take care of
Speaker 1: your wigs, truly truly. Um, what's what's what's How do
Speaker 1: you individually contain them? Because Cold does the donut boxes,
Speaker 1: the edemand cakes. He's serious and he has like very
Speaker 1: expensive and ours are like ours are containous store plastic
Speaker 1: case like like tough. You know, you're kind of just
Speaker 1: in there. But they're like a little little bag. You know.
Speaker 1: We try. Yeah, you know what, case we have to
Speaker 1: go back to sketch, have to get to toe. They
Speaker 1: also have a huge spin and I refused to get
Speaker 1: rid of it for that reason. I think I have
Speaker 1: like a few bags of like mint green tuxedos and
Speaker 1: like wigs that I'll never use, but I won't give
Speaker 1: him away. Three prop guns just just problematic. Yeah, did
Speaker 1: you ever travel to sketch festivals and like like of
Speaker 1: course every sketch in like two thousand nine had guns,
Speaker 1: And yeah, well I had a I had I was
Speaker 1: doing a my second solo show, Sad Sentence, my second
Speaker 1: solo show it used to be and full blown downs,
Speaker 1: full blown downs, yes, thank you, And I had a
Speaker 1: suitcase full of props, which included a gun, a soft dildo,
Speaker 1: a baby doll, all kinds of things like very very
Speaker 1: very because the baby you wanted it to look like
Speaker 1: a real baby, so it was very I got it.
Speaker 1: I got it, I got it, I got it. Go
Speaker 1: on and it was scary like it was for you know,
Speaker 1: I don't even know who buys these things. It's it's
Speaker 1: like people who don't have babies and they want like
Speaker 1: a and we went, we did the show, such a
Speaker 1: smash it's such a huge success that we went out afterwards.
Speaker 1: We had some food um and our favorite restaurant now closed.
Speaker 1: And when we got back to the place we were staying,
Speaker 1: I realized I left that suitcase with everything in the
Speaker 1: cab and we had a I had a show in
Speaker 1: l A. I appreciate the we Yes, we had a show.
Speaker 1: We had to come back to LA to do it
Speaker 1: in in l A. So I had to track down
Speaker 1: I got the receipt. I googled till I found a
Speaker 1: PDF of a spreadsheet like taxi medallion's. Found this person's
Speaker 1: name and number, called his home whatever his home it
Speaker 1: called his home, called his home home. I had to
Speaker 1: go through three people until somebody who spoke English was like, oh,
Speaker 1: you're looking for my uncle. He dropped your suitcase in
Speaker 1: Williamsburg at the police station or in green Point. I
Speaker 1: went there, and when I went there, they were like
Speaker 1: they went back and they had everything in evidence backs
Speaker 1: because it was like weird ass, like totally, and I
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, this is only half of it. Where's
Speaker 1: the rest. I need my wigs, and I need my
Speaker 1: and I need my MTV Europe teacher. And they were
Speaker 1: like the rest of it was sent to evidence holding
Speaker 1: in Queens. This was the most we had to go
Speaker 1: to Queen's. We went to an evidence like storage locker
Speaker 1: which they were closing because by the time we got
Speaker 1: there it was I took hours to get there. It
Speaker 1: was really hard. But he got mostly all of it back.
Speaker 1: I got almost all of it back. Remember what was missing?
Speaker 1: But like what you didn't get back? I think it
Speaker 1: was some imagin and of sky. I think it was
Speaker 1: MTV j Mber. I remember I wigs might it'll it'll,
Speaker 1: it'll round the corner again, It'll come full circle, will
Speaker 1: come back. It's like fascism. It'll be like so instil
Speaker 1: popular like whenever anyway, Um, that was sad whenever Bone whenever,
Speaker 1: whenever Bone is like stressed out at work. I'm like,
Speaker 1: we'll just remember it's wigs. Like that's good, that's good.
Speaker 1: But no, that's being so reductive because Jody's okay, we'll
Speaker 1: cut that part out. Um we love joy. Um. Okay,
Speaker 1: So listen here on this Culture Recess, we do ask
Speaker 1: a question of our guests, and that question guys asked
Speaker 1: each and every episode, and it is a special question,
Speaker 1: is what is the culture that made you say culture?
Speaker 1: Is for you. So this is the pop culture or
Speaker 1: formative culture in your life that you feel looking back,
Speaker 1: you were like, okay, that's why I am this ready.
Speaker 1: WoT yeats road Rules whoa okay road Rules and not
Speaker 1: real world? Why not? Why not real world? Okay, real world? Great?
Speaker 1: Love it it me in and I'm grateful for that,
Speaker 1: thank you. But road Rules showed me the world, because
Speaker 1: the world that's exactly right until it went to London
Speaker 1: and then when we're opening the world but still we're
Speaker 1: still closed now, road Rules showed me. It showed me
Speaker 1: anything I've never been to, you know, Tucson, Arizona. I'd
Speaker 1: never been to the Caribbean. I had never been to
Speaker 1: these places the world well, because it expanded the world, um,
Speaker 1: and so I really felt like I was able to
Speaker 1: see the see the world through the eyes of people
Speaker 1: who were older than me, but not dramatically older than me.
Speaker 1: And they were like fumbling and dumb and like falling
Speaker 1: in love and doing stupid things and getting drunk and
Speaker 1: making out in hot tubs, which was like, sounds good,
Speaker 1: but they were all hot, beautiful people, and but they
Speaker 1: were also I don't know if I felt like showing
Speaker 1: me the world in a way that felt like documentary
Speaker 1: without being boring. Um, and I loved it, and I
Speaker 1: became obsessed with road Rules, and I would like where
Speaker 1: I grew up, Western Massachusetts has a lot of colleges,
Speaker 1: and so this was really at the height of Road Rules,
Speaker 1: which was when I was like in you know, middle
Speaker 1: school and high school. And so a lot of the
Speaker 1: people from Road Rules would do speaking tours afterwards, yes exactly,
Speaker 1: Ums or Smith College where the Hampshire. They would It
Speaker 1: depends on who they were, like, um, you know, some
Speaker 1: people would talk about drinking problems, q whatever. It was
Speaker 1: their specific like the way they got in their narrative
Speaker 1: was then what they would continue to talk about, but
Speaker 1: in a way that actually was cool. And I would
Speaker 1: go and like watch watch them and sometimes like you know,
Speaker 1: talk to them afterwards if I could or whatever. Um.
Speaker 1: So it became this like socratic thing for you like
Speaker 1: really like I was going to say, and you know,
Speaker 1: if we want to take it a step further, and
Speaker 1: we do we do well. I don't know about the
Speaker 1: last step. And then the next step was that. Um.
Speaker 1: When I went to college, I kind of thought what
Speaker 1: I was going to do with my life was, um,
Speaker 1: try to create something that was in the realm of
Speaker 1: road Rules and that it would kind of explore youth
Speaker 1: culture around the world, because I was fascinated by it,
Speaker 1: and I wasn't exactly We never left my town, like
Speaker 1: I traveled a fair amount, but not as extensively, I
Speaker 1: guess as I would have liked to, And so I
Speaker 1: really thought I was going to end up doing something
Speaker 1: that was I guess. It turned out to be vice,
Speaker 1: so they got me there, but I really was really
Speaker 1: excited about that. That's like kind of what I thought
Speaker 1: I was going to do. And I you know, it
Speaker 1: wasn't exactly like comedy or directing or performing or anything obviously,
Speaker 1: which I got to later, but um, but that is
Speaker 1: really actually what I thought I was going to do
Speaker 1: with my life, and it was kind of inspired by
Speaker 1: my love of road Rules. They also like road Rules
Speaker 1: and and also real world. What I appreciate about them
Speaker 1: is they also exposed like a lot of LGBTQ people
Speaker 1: before anyone else, Like of course, there's like famously and
Speaker 1: iconically Pedro, and that was also like an important like
Speaker 1: step in the Aids story, I think huge, but also
Speaker 1: there every season and I'd be actually curious to watch
Speaker 1: it again now because I want to know how much
Speaker 1: of a straight gaze we're seeing it through and how
Speaker 1: much it holds up. But just like the representation period
Speaker 1: of and I guess like famously Karamo too. Now he
Speaker 1: was the real World, yes, and the narrative around him
Speaker 1: in his season of the Real World was like, what
Speaker 1: do you mean this like straight seeming black guy is
Speaker 1: gay And that's like I'd be interested to see it now.
Speaker 1: But I remember like the two straight like white meat
Speaker 1: heads were like what but um, But it was like,
Speaker 1: I guess important for many people like those two dudes
Speaker 1: to see someone like this, and that is I guess
Speaker 1: what I really liked about those shows in the beginning.
Speaker 1: And then it felt kind of like or you're just
Speaker 1: like putting a bunch of different people together that you
Speaker 1: know we're going to fight, because that's ratings. But it
Speaker 1: was important was Las Vegas was a turning point. Las
Speaker 1: Vegas was it's actually real culture number one hundred and three,
Speaker 1: Las Vegas was turning point. But prior to that, and
Speaker 1: that was the tricous But prior to that, it was
Speaker 1: actually just a bunch of interesting people who were figuring
Speaker 1: it out and then we're like weird types. And then
Speaker 1: after that it just became a season one was like
Speaker 1: indie film of real real world, right, and then it
Speaker 1: became like don't they have like X come in now
Speaker 1: and that there's no gimmicks like physically fighting. It's become
Speaker 1: much more gladiator and it's like we found a racist
Speaker 1: and someone black. We're going to put them in a
Speaker 1: house and see what happened. It's very crazy. But road
Speaker 1: rules and bikes that was It did add that travel element,
Speaker 1: like it is like for me growing up like similar,
Speaker 1: like my world was pretty small. I would imagine stayed
Speaker 1: in western western Massachusetts a lot because I was on
Speaker 1: Long Island like all the time. We never went to
Speaker 1: anywhere except Orlando. But um, seeing the world was like, wow,
Speaker 1: that's kind of interesting that there's a whole big world
Speaker 1: out there. And then the challenge to challenge. You watched
Speaker 1: the challenge I did. I was I was a little
Speaker 1: lesson to the chuge but but of course I watched
Speaker 1: my kidding if this is like a comedian famous comedian, now,
Speaker 1: I think so what right? I think just but like
Speaker 1: but like you has a website that's like a comedy
Speaker 1: dot com Yeah, look it up. Oh my god, that's
Speaker 1: a good one. I see, like I never watched but
Speaker 1: didn't have but like you didn't have cable, but I
Speaker 1: had had a general awareness of these things. But they're
Speaker 1: the only the only thing I have to add to
Speaker 1: this conversation is that, um, there was such a cultural
Speaker 1: locus of a moment when people making out in hot
Speaker 1: tubs was like the coolest thing at the end could
Speaker 1: possibly see on TV. I mean that was that was
Speaker 1: Tchelle and Stephen and that was Remember there was like
Speaker 1: a pregnancy scare. Yeah, that was a good one. That
Speaker 1: was auditioned for that season. And I think Chris Kelly also,
Speaker 1: turns out also auditioned for that season. So Chris Kelly
Speaker 1: was almost the gay on the season, the actually the
Speaker 1: best friend. Of course I would have been, Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: my origin, so they would have season one or the
Speaker 1: other two. Yeah. I didn't get that far. I did
Speaker 1: in person, Yes I did. In person. I didn't get
Speaker 1: very far. But my thing I had, like my because
Speaker 1: I you know, it was well versed in this, and
Speaker 1: so I came in with like, here's my point, here's
Speaker 1: my what makes me unique. I think I just turned eighteen. Okay, yes,
Speaker 1: and soon at the moment that struck, that struck absolutely,
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I mean I don't need to
Speaker 1: get into my whole story. But I dropped out of
Speaker 1: high school and got my g E D. But then
Speaker 1: I was a freshman. I was my first year of Columbia.
Speaker 1: I got transferred in. I played tennis. But I was
Speaker 1: also like, but I'm also a virgin, like all these
Speaker 1: things I was going, I was like, a smart virgin. Great, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: I was like, you just don't know with me, and
Speaker 1: that was kind of my thing, and I didn't get
Speaker 1: I didn't get very far. You know when I first
Speaker 1: met Legia. Honestly, maybe the first few months I knew you.
Speaker 1: She auditioned to be a j and MTV. I'd gotten
Speaker 1: kind of far on that one. Yeah. I remember we
Speaker 1: met in the day and had a drink and you
Speaker 1: were going to yeah, yeah, that one. I originally did
Speaker 1: send in a tape and then I got called in
Speaker 1: a bit, but they kept being like, you need to
Speaker 1: be like a little more excited and a little bit
Speaker 1: more like a beat, and I was like, that's not
Speaker 1: what I'm starting to tell you something. They were I
Speaker 1: also unditioned to be a j and they told me
Speaker 1: to tone it down because I was like, come on, guys,
Speaker 1: I was just like I was like I saw on
Speaker 1: my natural Like they tell me this in every single audition.
Speaker 1: They're like, cool, now do it normal? So insane? He
Speaker 1: would have been amazing duo. Honestly, that would have been good.
Speaker 1: What a funny the other two? That's good. That's right,
Speaker 1: the other two should be. Let's talk off Mike about
Speaker 1: what the other two should be. Oh my god, is
Speaker 1: this speaker stuff post right after like the Simon Rex
Speaker 1: Sarah of things. This was like Simon R. Rex but
Speaker 1: right around when his solo tape came out. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is right around like a fund hole Simon Rex inspiration
Speaker 1: for a broad City storyline. Yea, like a fantastic arc.
Speaker 1: I can take very little credit. I can't take any
Speaker 1: really for that, except for except but you guys. But
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of that stuff was like was
Speaker 1: just like Simon Rex, like on a pool float and
Speaker 1: then they just had tray on a pool. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: was like on towels and yeah, yeah, I believe he
Speaker 1: was on his back in a towel. Yes, he was
Speaker 1: on his back in his towel outside of the pool
Speaker 1: and like sort of like disassociating. Yeah, they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is sad, but I'm still Yeah, it was the
Speaker 1: Native American thing where like his soul was being taken. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were right about that with him. Yeah, okay, let's
Speaker 1: me want to Paul Paul for you. Wow. I think honestly, um,
Speaker 1: the thing that I used to watch that I think
Speaker 1: no one when I was like thirteen watched was absolutely fabulous.
Speaker 1: That was my thing. What was it about? It? Was
Speaker 1: it just like like I think this is funny, and
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I think the specific thing was
Speaker 1: I was like I don't get it. I love it,
Speaker 1: you know, and that the audience was so into it,
Speaker 1: and even just in the translation of the language, I
Speaker 1: was like, what are they talking about? But I knew
Speaker 1: I liked the energy, and I knew I liked it,
Speaker 1: and I was like I wanted to be in and
Speaker 1: you know, there are certain things that you get of
Speaker 1: you get like Saffie you get you know, you get
Speaker 1: Saffie and Patsy, you get their dynamics. So it's clear
Speaker 1: I wasn't like, you know, yeah, fully out, I got
Speaker 1: some of it, and I was like I understood, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that was it. Yeah, there are those things
Speaker 1: like that, like it's like you want to hear it,
Speaker 1: but you don't know why or watch it. I say
Speaker 1: here because mine was. I would listen to Margaret Show
Speaker 1: stand up albums without understanding a single, but I knew
Speaker 1: that it was for me. I was like, I know
Speaker 1: this joke about like, but sex is for me, even
Speaker 1: though I'm I don't know yet, right, but sex is
Speaker 1: you know. I just was like, it's those things that
Speaker 1: you connect to when you're like why and I do
Speaker 1: you think? How did you hear about that? Well? It
Speaker 1: was on Comedy Central and I used to watch Comedy
Speaker 1: Central and I would watch like Premium Roast or whatever
Speaker 1: the stand upers were. And I mean back then it
Speaker 1: was like it was like paul A pound Stone and
Speaker 1: it was just like I feel like comedy was very
Speaker 1: weird and I watched that a lot. I watched Channel
Speaker 1: thirty two, you know, and that was one of the
Speaker 1: things that they played. So I think it was also
Speaker 1: like way after probably it was ever on in the UK,
Speaker 1: you know, because then they would do marathons. They would
Speaker 1: have marathons of a weekend it was just that. So
Speaker 1: I think it was like the first thing I binged ever. Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: binging has been happening for a long time because that
Speaker 1: was a thing like on like mtvv H one where
Speaker 1: there'd be whole weekends where just top model would be
Speaker 1: on the Like that was like that was like remember
Speaker 1: SPU marathons. Oh yeah, and you could just plant and
Speaker 1: then you would I can watch all of that, yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's easy and that that there is like an
Speaker 1: argument for like that quote unquote easy television to watch.
Speaker 1: Like everyone's like, oh, hold, like this is like easy
Speaker 1: to write or whatever, but it's like, no, that's fun
Speaker 1: and television like that's procedural, it's you know the procedure.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah. And also sitcom a situation comedy.
Speaker 1: We know the situation. It's clear, we can see it.
Speaker 1: This is actually I'm happy you're listening to this podcast,
Speaker 1: which is what is to comes. Yeah, we should let
Speaker 1: people know, which we should let people know. Um Alec
Speaker 1: is leaving. So what about this conversation turns you off? Yeah,
Speaker 1: go speak. I can't comedy. These normals like comedy either.
Speaker 1: I really don't watch a lot of comedy though. I
Speaker 1: watch only some we've been watching. We have been watching lately.
Speaker 1: The comedy is changing, comedy is changing all the time.
Speaker 1: But Chris and Zrich human and they were like the
Speaker 1: last thing we wanted to do when we would go
Speaker 1: home from shooting the other two or just even writing
Speaker 1: it was just watching watching the comedy, seeing the production
Speaker 1: behind the word. Absolutely when we were just watched all
Speaker 1: the Hunger Games movies, because like how do we escape
Speaker 1: and watch the things? Yes, because that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: The rare times we would watch like a comedy or whatever,
Speaker 1: I'd look at this coverage. How much time did they have?
Speaker 1: I don't get that much time? Ye know what I
Speaker 1: think about Sometimes it's like literally like whenever there's a
Speaker 1: small character, I'm like, yeah they booked that. I think
Speaker 1: of the audition, like being on set and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I wonder how nervous that actor, like a small roll
Speaker 1: and anything. I always like I'm here, Yeah, I can
Speaker 1: see that actor kind of being like like I don't know,
Speaker 1: I just see the work. Yeah, totally in a way,
Speaker 1: and also like um, I wonder what take of that
Speaker 1: that was, Like how they got there? Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: like god, it's a curse to be working in the
Speaker 1: ind I can't enjoy things anymore. But I mean it
Speaker 1: is like it's not this, it's not an aversion or anything.
Speaker 1: It's just a fatigue. Probably for me, it's like I
Speaker 1: go home literally. And what Chris and Sarah said was
Speaker 1: that they put on a housewives and housewives we heard
Speaker 1: there's and it was a lot of housewives which we
Speaker 1: don't watch. And I have to be honest, Sorry, I
Speaker 1: don't mean to interrupt your that I have this feeling
Speaker 1: where I I don't really watch so I have seen
Speaker 1: him here and there. If you say the names, I
Speaker 1: know Bethany, I know who during days, but I don't
Speaker 1: like no, no, you know, we don't want don't know.
Speaker 1: And it's I'm not asking, I guess for you guys
Speaker 1: to convince me, because IOUs it's like I don't need
Speaker 1: to be convinced. But um why, I just feel I'm
Speaker 1: just trying to like No, no, you are asking us
Speaker 1: why we like it. No, I guess a little bit
Speaker 1: why you like it? Slash, How does it not come
Speaker 1: off as feeling like exploitative of women who are maybe
Speaker 1: a little I'm happy you asked that I was very
Speaker 1: anti the housewives, like and even the Kardashians. I was like,
Speaker 1: I sort of get why people like it, but the
Speaker 1: Housewives felt to me like, oh, you're just like taking
Speaker 1: women who are like bored and potentially sad and maybe
Speaker 1: even have like alcohol issues, and you're hinting them against
Speaker 1: each other. It's reductive, flat out without having seen it,
Speaker 1: like our friends Suity like fucking loved it. But then
Speaker 1: I watched it and I was like, actually, that's those
Speaker 1: are not often the narratives like if they have an
Speaker 1: issue with alcohol, it's the friends all like concern might
Speaker 1: have an issue with alcohol, And like, is it from
Speaker 1: I convincing you at all? I'm genuinely just curious. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm curious. I I thought I thought of house Lives
Speaker 1: in those terms as well before I started watching. And
Speaker 1: then and I'm still not fully like mired and it
Speaker 1: like they're like you might be or christ and Sarah
Speaker 1: might be. But I thought, Wow, this is such a
Speaker 1: dumb show, dumb thing, and why am I interested in?
Speaker 1: These women are humor less? But then you watch it
Speaker 1: and like in the like you see like these little
Speaker 1: slice of life things and then they're just you're just like, oh,
Speaker 1: like they have these nuanced thoughts too, and they're sharing
Speaker 1: them and they're like going about their lives like I'm
Speaker 1: not sure like where their money is going to come
Speaker 1: from now. It's like it's like these are like I
Speaker 1: like its psychologically psychologic because sometimes it's like to see
Speaker 1: these women who are experiencing this like heightened life, the
Speaker 1: way they react to each other and like interact with
Speaker 1: each other, I'm like, that's so interesting that you would
Speaker 1: call her that, And it's like, you know, I mean
Speaker 1: our activist with and I think they are such characters
Speaker 1: and they look for that that it's like I just
Speaker 1: haven't seen anyone like Sonia Morgan ever in my life,
Speaker 1: and so I am fascinating and do think it's funny.
Speaker 1: And then it's it is a question that am I
Speaker 1: laughing at her or with her? And I think actually
Speaker 1: Chris brought this up the other day or sorry I
Speaker 1: brought this up in the room. It's like it's it's both,
Speaker 1: it switches off between both. And my thing is it's
Speaker 1: a blueprint for conflict or or intimacy in which in
Speaker 1: terms of like you're seeing people be friends in ways
Speaker 1: in all these different ways, and you're like, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to be I'm not going to be a friend
Speaker 1: like derindas to Sonja, or I am going to be
Speaker 1: a friend like Bethany is to Remoan. It's like, you
Speaker 1: see these little examples. Just by example, you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I I like what's going on here. I don't like
Speaker 1: what's going on in here, And I can pick and
Speaker 1: choose for myself. And then the saying goes for the
Speaker 1: for when people get into fights, I'm like, oh, they're
Speaker 1: dealing with this horribly or they're actually going with this
Speaker 1: very well. And it's sort of like it gives you
Speaker 1: a full tapestry of like I found something positive about
Speaker 1: it just now. Sometimes when I watch it, I'm more like,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm gonna tell this person that I'm that
Speaker 1: I'm thinking something because I just saw it. Like it
Speaker 1: puts me in the space to be not like it
Speaker 1: doesn't drive conflict in me, but it's like, when I
Speaker 1: see this person later, I'm gonna just flat out tell
Speaker 1: them and see if they respond respond. And honestly, I
Speaker 1: think from watching that show it has encouraged me to
Speaker 1: say what I think and feel a little to honest
Speaker 1: in your relationship. Honestly, yes, that's good and that's positive
Speaker 1: for me. Do you feel you guys are honest in
Speaker 1: all your relationships? I mean, yeah, no, I don't like confrontation,
Speaker 1: but I mean I feel like I'm but I do
Speaker 1: feel like because I always just think when I watch
Speaker 1: a sitcom, I'd always be like, just tell them what
Speaker 1: you did, you know, like Joe, we tell Chandler you
Speaker 1: drank it all, you know. I'd always feel like, just
Speaker 1: be honest and then you can get it, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like, so that always used to be
Speaker 1: a bump for me with like I Love Lucy, I'd
Speaker 1: be like, just tell you want the firm. You know,
Speaker 1: we can cut this off. You can get you know,
Speaker 1: which I know is not you have se for coming
Speaker 1: conflicts for all of these things. For I love the friends,
Speaker 1: you want for down friends, yeah, him, but boiled boil
Speaker 1: it down for ab fab like because I truly this
Speaker 1: is bad me, bad media diet yea, I truly. Besides,
Speaker 1: like Jennifer Saunders, I'm like, I don't really know what
Speaker 1: else the shows around. So I think it's actually based
Speaker 1: on a real publicist in the UK, and it was
Speaker 1: originally a sketch because I also then once I found
Speaker 1: out about them. I started watching French and Saunders sketches,
Speaker 1: which I had to get on VHS because it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know this, this is you know,
Speaker 1: it's bad. It wasn't you know, um and Don French
Speaker 1: and Jennifer Saunders were a comedy team and it did
Speaker 1: really funny. That stuff was easy to because it was sketch.
Speaker 1: It was easy to you know, relate to. It was
Speaker 1: very accessible no matter what, whereas ab fab was like weird,
Speaker 1: like um rich posh English Colin Park references and you
Speaker 1: were like, you know, it was very hard to access
Speaker 1: as you know a thirteen year old kid. But um,
Speaker 1: but yeah, So it's it's this woman who's like single mom,
Speaker 1: doesn't want to be a mom, loves to drink, has
Speaker 1: a best friend. It's kind of it's kind of like
Speaker 1: Broad City. It's like two women who were best friends
Speaker 1: and like get into trouble all the time and should
Speaker 1: not be parents and you know your mothers. Yeah, just
Speaker 1: just Jennifer Saunders is the mother to Saffie, who's like
Speaker 1: a very type a buttoned up daughter, um the daughters
Speaker 1: like them, who's always looking down on her and her
Speaker 1: best friend Patsy, who get drunk and do drugs and
Speaker 1: go crazy and little life success. They do tons of drugs,
Speaker 1: they do cocaine, they go yeah, um, they're constantly drunk.
Speaker 1: I think Patsy smokes and falls asleep wasted and burns
Speaker 1: down the house in one episode, you know yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: um did that answer the questions? I don't know. That's
Speaker 1: the that's the dynamic of the show is two best
Speaker 1: friends who are get into a lot of trouble to
Speaker 1: a lot of trouble. And I also think it's a
Speaker 1: thing of like big, broad characters, which I think we
Speaker 1: all kind of saw like growing up, like for example,
Speaker 1: Austin Powers. Yeah, I fucking lived for Austin. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: loved how broad it was, how all the characters were
Speaker 1: like stupid and big and even Ron Burgundy. I love
Speaker 1: that ship. And now I feel like, DoD they do
Speaker 1: that anymore? No they Miranda things. Yeah yeah, but that
Speaker 1: would didn't break through like a mainstream Yeah, nice show.
Speaker 1: So I feel like now even the stuff that I
Speaker 1: respond to, like I love like Summer Heights High. I mean,
Speaker 1: but I was like, I don't think that's what you're
Speaker 1: looking for. But Summer Hights High was Summer Hight sigh,
Speaker 1: and most recently Pan fifteen summerhightid for me now, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, these are the things that are h there
Speaker 1: there because the performances are so anthropological and subtle and good.
Speaker 1: It's so real, even though the steaks are crazy heightened
Speaker 1: and it's insanely broad for two adult women to play children,
Speaker 1: or for Mr g or for Jamay to be like
Speaker 1: a a thirty five year old man who's playing like
Speaker 1: a girl who's dating a seven year old boy. Those
Speaker 1: seems he's like breaking up with her like seventh grade boyfriends.
Speaker 1: I'm like, because you for what, you forget, you forget.
Speaker 1: They disappear into those characters, even even an angry boys. Um,
Speaker 1: just him playing that, just the fucking Japanese lady. I
Speaker 1: didn't forcing her son to be even I never thought
Speaker 1: I never had a problem with him doing anything, honest
Speaker 1: and that is of course my place to say honestly,
Speaker 1: and like, this is just me, like did not fully
Speaker 1: hate him playing an Asian? I was like, this is funny. Also,
Speaker 1: your favorite sketch character ever is of course MS. I
Speaker 1: don't know about that, but I've defended her on a
Speaker 1: couple okay, but I don't know and it was whatever,
Speaker 1: we don't think you did, but I brought that. I
Speaker 1: missed that like because it really doesn't happen that much,
Speaker 1: and I come back, I think it will. I think
Speaker 1: right now we're in this moment of important, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's like everything on TV if it's
Speaker 1: not like, uh, sort of you know. This is why
Speaker 1: I loved Unbreakable Kimmi Schmidt. I loved the big characters,
Speaker 1: and I love jokeoke joke joke jokes. Actually like that.
Speaker 1: It feels like you get that and it's like out there,
Speaker 1: And this is why I love the other two. Actually
Speaker 1: is it feels like a combination of these two things.
Speaker 1: It's like heavy jokes in the script meets interesting characters
Speaker 1: with the point of view we haven't seen, um, but
Speaker 1: in the supporting characters are big and fun like that.
Speaker 1: But it feels like a combination between that sort of
Speaker 1: Tina Face type sensibility of there's jokes everywhere and also
Speaker 1: this sort of girl's insecure type thing where it's like
Speaker 1: it's a comedy because someone smiles every now and then,
Speaker 1: right right, just something Chris said the other day which
Speaker 1: I thought was funny. Um, but it's a fusion of that.
Speaker 1: I think that is looking for in television, which I
Speaker 1: think also has right, but yes, the other two for
Speaker 1: sure is hard comedy but also has that seriousness and
Speaker 1: groundedness and heart heart and also and like I don't
Speaker 1: know if you two would ever just like cop to this,
Speaker 1: but like I feel like Pentofteen exists probably because Broad
Speaker 1: City exists. I would say, like broad City changed, it
Speaker 1: changed so much, and like thank god it did in
Speaker 1: like panofteen, Like I'm just like yeah, like I'm like
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not saying like it needed one
Speaker 1: thing in order to exist or be this thing, but
Speaker 1: it's like it evolved out of this model, this mental
Speaker 1: model for people to be like, oh well this succeeded
Speaker 1: in some iteration before and so let's do it and
Speaker 1: thank god and now it's like and Pentofteen is honestly
Speaker 1: this show that like is totally not concerned with prestige.
Speaker 1: Same goes for broad City, of course, but it's like,
Speaker 1: it's not it's just about the jokes in the situations
Speaker 1: and the characters in their relationships. Like that is what
Speaker 1: is that? Fair? Tot? Thanks, I mean cool, I mean
Speaker 1: I think we all stand on the shoulders of giants.
Speaker 1: But you know, there's there's stuff that I think we
Speaker 1: watched that make us feel like that's you know, like
Speaker 1: it was it for Strangers with candy, you know, like
Speaker 1: would we even be able to make something that, yeah,
Speaker 1: like that was that hard comedy? I don't know. I
Speaker 1: think I think that's true. I think, you know, there
Speaker 1: is like this zeitgeist evolution that things have treated into
Speaker 1: each other. But I think more than anything, what I
Speaker 1: respond to when I watched Pen fifteen is something that
Speaker 1: I think it's almost subconscious. And it was true of
Speaker 1: Broad City season one, which was what you guys were
Speaker 1: talking about before, which is it was a lot of
Speaker 1: kids without a teacher in the classroom making things up.
Speaker 1: And um, I think season one certainly of Broad City,
Speaker 1: and I don't know about Pen fifteen, but we had
Speaker 1: probably the least amount of notes we ever had because
Speaker 1: it was like, well maybe worrying to think, you know,
Speaker 1: no one really knew and so there wasn't a lot
Speaker 1: of cooks in the kitchen, and there wasn't a lot
Speaker 1: of like um meddling, you know what I'm there was
Speaker 1: just like, go try this thing, and when it works,
Speaker 1: then there are more eyeballs on it and there's more
Speaker 1: consideration and it becomes a different thing. But pen fIF
Speaker 1: team does feel to me like they're doing something that
Speaker 1: tickles them and it's very very distinct and specific and
Speaker 1: the point of view is like their own. And I
Speaker 1: don't know, you can feel that there's no adults, you know,
Speaker 1: it just feels like it just feels so fun. That's great.
Speaker 1: And that's the thing too, is like when you see
Speaker 1: the work because you because you do that work, you
Speaker 1: can also kind of see when something's been watered down,
Speaker 1: I mean, and that sucks. And I think now being
Speaker 1: aware of that, I go easier on like the creators
Speaker 1: of that thing because I'm like, well, that wasn't there
Speaker 1: for you know. That's the thing. I feel like edges
Speaker 1: can be rounded off so much because especially the more
Speaker 1: money that's invested in something that more people are like,
Speaker 1: let's make sure it works and it's good. And I
Speaker 1: think intention is always right. You know. We always look
Speaker 1: for the note behind the note when we hear a note,
Speaker 1: but when it has that much money, people become risk
Speaker 1: averse and they have to protect their thing to extent
Speaker 1: and that means that unfortunately, I think a lot of
Speaker 1: the best stuff is risky. Yeah, and so it's like
Speaker 1: you can either invest very little or a lot or whatever,
Speaker 1: but no matter what it is, just make it a risk.
Speaker 1: I think it's more interesting, absolutely fail I think in
Speaker 1: some ways, the fact that there's so many more platforms
Speaker 1: and there's so many more offerings you can still be risky. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: And we've talked about this with christ and Sarah. It's
Speaker 1: also harder to break through because there's you know, there's
Speaker 1: so much going on, and also Trump's on the news constant.
Speaker 1: There's nothing pieces about television anymore. But um yeah, Trump.
Speaker 1: The fact that Trump is everywhere might lead us towards
Speaker 1: what we were saying, like that kind of like idea
Speaker 1: of just not more broad because broad isn't necessarily better,
Speaker 1: but like bigger, sillier comedy or like just like things
Speaker 1: that exist because they want to exist in a way,
Speaker 1: and not like things that are trying to be trying
Speaker 1: to say something. Yeah, I think that, like the I
Speaker 1: think particually there could be a rise of morom coms. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like fantasy. I think we're looking for an escape. Truly.
Speaker 1: We notting Hill was on and we like I didn't
Speaker 1: stop watching it. That's not like we hadn't seen it,
Speaker 1: but it's like, you just want that right now. I
Speaker 1: want people to make mistakes, fumble through and then do
Speaker 1: the right thing. You know, I missed them. I loved
Speaker 1: isn't it romantic? It was fun, it was great, and
Speaker 1: it was so fun, really fun watching when Harry met
Speaker 1: sal and it was like, this is so nice, right,
Speaker 1: you are the third person who's told me that in
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, when Harry met Sally is having
Speaker 1: like a moment. I'm just like reading a bunch of
Speaker 1: Nora from stuff. I'm just reading the old books and
Speaker 1: I'm like one of the giants, one of the giants
Speaker 1: that we Scott. How good was Meg Ryan's? I mean still,
Speaker 1: but you see, I'm also like, are there people like
Speaker 1: Meg Ryan? Yes, I'm sure there are, but I'm like, wow,
Speaker 1: she was just so good and did so We watched
Speaker 1: Baby Boom recently, and that's another one that you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: of course, yan Ke yankey hats, gloves and shoes. You
Speaker 1: know that she's thinking. But when you watch her and
Speaker 1: something like that, you're like, she did so much with
Speaker 1: with in a scene where there's no, oh my god,
Speaker 1: how funny and good. And that's another thing about noticing
Speaker 1: the work is you can also notice when the work
Speaker 1: is really fucking good. Yeah, it's really easily to someone
Speaker 1: like Meg Ryan, just like that is someone you could
Speaker 1: take for granted because she makes it look so easy,
Speaker 1: like Meg Ryan and her prime Like and when Harry
Speaker 1: met Sally, you don't just you can't just learn how
Speaker 1: to be that charming. You know, that's a movie star. Yea,
Speaker 1: literally wasn't. She like, did not have any acting training,
Speaker 1: came out of journalism school and was like, I guess
Speaker 1: I'll try. I didn't know that. Yeah, She's like, I'll
Speaker 1: audition for commercials. Is how I make money? Commercial And
Speaker 1: then like people were like, who's that. Let's make her
Speaker 1: a start damn And she had it from the beginning.
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen French Kiss? Okay, no, this is
Speaker 1: one that I have to see. I heard, I heard
Speaker 1: nothing but amazing. French Kiss is so good? Okay, what
Speaker 1: is it? What is so And when some people think
Speaker 1: it's broad because um, Kevin Klein is in it and
Speaker 1: he's playing French, but I'm like, that's great. Here's the premise.
Speaker 1: She's afraid of flying. She her fiance goes to Paris,
Speaker 1: m meets a woman and breaks it off. So she
Speaker 1: gets on a plane with someone who is this like
Speaker 1: French um cad tramp smuggler and because of a little
Speaker 1: mix up with their bags and intentional mix up and
Speaker 1: they become kind of like a duo as she tries
Speaker 1: to get back her fiance and he helps sort of
Speaker 1: navigate it is so let me get you can't you can't.
Speaker 1: I love that, Like I miss Meg, Ryan, Julia Robert,
Speaker 1: Sandra Bullock in those types of movies. Not that they
Speaker 1: shouldn't do whatever they want, but like, yeah, I do,
Speaker 1: Like I need that scene of someone telling someone what
Speaker 1: they mean to the high stakes environment with people watching,
Speaker 1: Like that scene at the end of the Proposal when
Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds comes in and there's actually a really bad
Speaker 1: continuity error, and that's so much I see every single time.
Speaker 1: Like her hair, her hair is fully style. Person is
Speaker 1: so upset right now if it's at the end, maybe
Speaker 1: it is a reshoot. She's like, what are you doing here?
Speaker 1: It cuts to him and then it cuts back to
Speaker 1: her and she's like, got a full spray to him,
Speaker 1: you know. Fun so different, This is like a drop,
Speaker 1: but I'm going to do it. We did some reshoots
Speaker 1: for Rough Night, and we did a screening and m
Speaker 1: one of our characters had cut her all of her
Speaker 1: hair off, so she was wearing a wig for a
Speaker 1: couple of the shots. But it was such a good
Speaker 1: and expensive wig you could not tell unless you're RuPaul.
Speaker 1: And he was at the screening screen and he was like, um,
Speaker 1: the one scene, Jillian's in a wig, and we were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: He's like, it's good. He complimented it. He did say
Speaker 1: it was good. He said, no one else will notice
Speaker 1: but me, But I just want to make sure it's
Speaker 1: like I was pretty sure. Angel. They're eating pizza, deciding
Speaker 1: want to do pretty soon after the day, and yeah,
Speaker 1: there's just one little line we needed to bridge at
Speaker 1: the wedding. At the end, I think she might be yes.
Speaker 1: And that's the very end it does. I've noticed that
Speaker 1: wigs happen a lot in those ending scenes, like I
Speaker 1: legally blond, Like at the end of the movie where
Speaker 1: this one is in this like egregious wig, do you
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about? At the graduation and it
Speaker 1: does this in the front, it's this insane middle that's
Speaker 1: a different color. She's just had and it's just like
Speaker 1: the way she's lit. She looks so different and it's
Speaker 1: just so funny. But it is like egregious. Yeah, I think, God,
Speaker 1: I just love that movie. I really do. Very sweet. No,
Speaker 1: but like Elliott came on and I was just like, God,
Speaker 1: what a good fucking I just like, bring it up
Speaker 1: when there's any peripheral connections. And also that is the cast.
Speaker 1: I mean, what a dream? Can I drop? Can I
Speaker 1: drop up? Now? Yes? Um Alana Angel on this Earth
Speaker 1: was just talking to Zoe at this Christmas party away
Speaker 1: is at and she goes, Bowen, you should meet Zoe.
Speaker 1: You met Zoe, I met I met Zoe. When when
Speaker 1: when Momoah hosted, of course it was it was literally
Speaker 1: the whole game was Momoa fucking Lisa Leny what in
Speaker 1: the dressing room? And then I had to run with
Speaker 1: monologue changes and I was like, hey, Jason, so so
Speaker 1: it's between these two jokes, like we gotta make one cut,
Speaker 1: So between these two what do you like? I've told
Speaker 1: you this right, And Lisa was like, it's got to
Speaker 1: be this one you make you make the Hawaiian god
Speaker 1: joke and then and then I was like yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: you know, Hahwaiian got and then Lenny's like, what's what's
Speaker 1: going on? Oh yeah that one there? They were always
Speaker 1: funny where she really gets it truly, he really understands,
Speaker 1: like people will think this is funny in a way
Speaker 1: that I should have as much gone. And she is
Speaker 1: the director. She watched an early cut and there were
Speaker 1: some things that were that didn't make it, and she
Speaker 1: was like, this joke in this joke you need to
Speaker 1: put in. And we were like, I'll tell you what,
Speaker 1: We'll try to test it. And we did and we
Speaker 1: did testing and they were they both were huge and
Speaker 1: we were like you were you were so right. Really
Speaker 1: has a she's smart, she's smart, she's funny. I love
Speaker 1: her her angels. She used to call them my angels.
Speaker 1: They are angels. I love them, we both. I mean, honestly,
Speaker 1: could not have been luckier to have those women other
Speaker 1: they're still in a text chain. They're like they're really Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I believe you can ask her. Kate carried
Speaker 1: around a picture of all of them. Yes, I think
Speaker 1: she has. I think she maybe in her wallet still does,
Speaker 1: who knows. It was really paraphernally in her office, like
Speaker 1: you so bought the bond between them. I was like,
Speaker 1: I could just watch them to a whole more. To
Speaker 1: Me More is an icon and hot me Actually also
Speaker 1: at Sundance and Demi Moore was coming in and I
Speaker 1: was so good for Demi Moore to common and let
Speaker 1: me tell you what happened. So I'm interviewing to Me
Speaker 1: More along with Jessica Williams um ed helms and Karen
Speaker 1: Sony was on Miracle. Oh my gosh. Yeah, he's so great.
Speaker 1: And they're all uh in this movie together, which is
Speaker 1: called Corporate Animals. It's coming out soon. It was at
Speaker 1: Sundance and it's basically about like this uh, you know,
Speaker 1: corporate bunch of people that work together, and Demi Moore
Speaker 1: is like the head of this company and they go
Speaker 1: on like a corporate retreat and they end up they're
Speaker 1: like a guy dies and it becomes like a cannibalism situation.
Speaker 1: It's a very heightened comedy. So they're all wearing these
Speaker 1: Like Demi Moore comes in, She's wearing all these fun clothes.
Speaker 1: She's like here to promote her comments. So I'm like
Speaker 1: doing my bit with her. I'm hosting for Vulture and
Speaker 1: I'm i say to her, you know you're the most
Speaker 1: iconic crier in cinema history because you famously slayed and
Speaker 1: Charlie's Angels full throttle when you said I was never good.
Speaker 1: I was great and shot the thing and shot the
Speaker 1: single tear, and also said in Ghosts, you beautifully iconically
Speaker 1: cried just from the center of your eye, no face crack,
Speaker 1: just one gorgeous tear. Ditto and then and then no,
Speaker 1: that wasn't that, But it was that. No, it wasn't
Speaker 1: it was it was It wasn't. It was not you.
Speaker 1: You're thinking of the end with the different part she
Speaker 1: cries in the end, not with the don't do that,
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Anyway, So basically I tell her this,
Speaker 1: that woman took off her sunglasses, her tinted prescription classes
Speaker 1: and she cried right, no, oh my god. She was underrated.
Speaker 1: Under She came to the set and it was like,
Speaker 1: I'll do whatever. I'll do whatever. We're like, okay, you're
Speaker 1: gonna be eating Zoe out. She's like, great, can you
Speaker 1: dig a little trench so I can get She gets
Speaker 1: she had a dig a freaking trench. She could get
Speaker 1: down in there. Is Hi came in fully was like Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm just she's dick guy coming with a full on
Speaker 1: spray tan dark. It was they are so that it
Speaker 1: was windy as hell. I was so I was stressed
Speaker 1: out in Miami. It was not a hand movie in
Speaker 1: New York. You know, when you want Miami, you're shoot
Speaker 1: in New York. And then there was a little there
Speaker 1: was a lot of drama in terms of production. Anyways,
Speaker 1: we're gonna skip it. We're gonna skip it. We skip
Speaker 1: the drama, skip the drama. Shot that in the Hamptons.
Speaker 1: It's windy, it's cold, it's not really summer anymore. And
Speaker 1: they came and they didn't didn't complain at all. He
Speaker 1: had to get on a planet, truly, it wasn't overnight.
Speaker 1: Got right in a plane from minor family right like
Speaker 1: five am, flew right back. I mean, these these everybody
Speaker 1: never complained and talk about their job. PRIs. I'll tell
Speaker 1: you what Scarlett was like, how long we had a
Speaker 1: scene where she had to read a letter and cry.
Speaker 1: She was like when because there was no one else,
Speaker 1: there was just you know, she was just reading. She
Speaker 1: was like, how long do you need? And we were
Speaker 1: like a thirty seconds to a minute, just you know
Speaker 1: she was like, okay, truly read it. They were more specific.
Speaker 1: They were like forty seven seconds read it, looked up
Speaker 1: cry with her two cameras. I wiped it out and
Speaker 1: we were like that's it. Two cameras. I needed more takes,
Speaker 1: but we didn't have time, and so she made sure
Speaker 1: we got in one take. I mean. Also she's like,
Speaker 1: she's I love like I have for years. I have
Speaker 1: since Ghost World so good. I mean also that she
Speaker 1: had that one year where it was Lost in Translation
Speaker 1: and Girl with a Pearl Earring, and I remember this
Speaker 1: was like when I was first starting to really kind
Speaker 1: of like try to watch, like, you know, adult movies,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm going to see both of those.
Speaker 1: Didn't get either one of them, whist in translation, all
Speaker 1: the things, And I almost watched it on a plane
Speaker 1: actually the other day, and because like, maybe that's a
Speaker 1: good one to sort of visit. I picked text in
Speaker 1: the city of the movie that just the mood I
Speaker 1: was in the plane dictates, the plane will dictate, We'll
Speaker 1: just do what you want. I often am like I
Speaker 1: should be watching this because I haven't, and I should now,
Speaker 1: but I'm like I'm in this mood when you're on
Speaker 1: the plane, the plane dictates exactly. And I'm like, that's
Speaker 1: that's actually a rule of culture when we're ump up,
Speaker 1: when we're on a plane, the plane dictates it. And honestly,
Speaker 1: the plane dictated. The other day that I watched the
Speaker 1: Whitney documentary, Oh, I haven't seen it, devastating the sex
Speaker 1: and miss into the movie because I had to light
Speaker 1: it up after that, of course, and then Tully, it's
Speaker 1: a long flight. This, yeah, Tully's good. Edit down that pause,
Speaker 1: the latent pause. You know why? You know what just
Speaker 1: happened When you said Tully, I thought, I'm like the
Speaker 1: one where Tom Hanks lands the plane in the water,
Speaker 1: which I did not see. I was like, I didn't
Speaker 1: see it, but tell me I did, Like, I think,
Speaker 1: I think that Charlie's is great. Charlie, she is so great.
Speaker 1: Do you like young adults? Can I tell you minutes
Speaker 1: Young adult? Basically the cold open until the sequence and
Speaker 1: when she puts in the tape into the car and
Speaker 1: starts driving. I was so gagged, a little Matt, I'm there.
Speaker 1: I was so gagged by that first twenty minutes that
Speaker 1: I had to stop the movie and pace around my
Speaker 1: house by myself because I was like, this so brilliant.
Speaker 1: At the moment, it's so well absurd everything picture and
Speaker 1: the printer not working. I was like, this is me,
Speaker 1: it is I mean that movie towards the end, the end,
Speaker 1: losing me just a little sorry, Jason Raymard love you,
Speaker 1: but I just felt that that that movie is, that
Speaker 1: was that nice little chunk of culture for I agree
Speaker 1: at the end, losing me a little bit too. I
Speaker 1: wish she doesn't sleep with Patton Oswald. I felt it
Speaker 1: felt like, but then again, it's like I don't mind that,
Speaker 1: you know what It's like. It's kind of like the
Speaker 1: way I felt about the end of Girls, where it
Speaker 1: was like, wow, Marnie isn't going to grow at all.
Speaker 1: It's like, no, some people they just don't grow. And
Speaker 1: I thought that was true. That felt right to me.
Speaker 1: It wasn't actually the sleeping with Patton's sister that was
Speaker 1: the problem for me. It was the next morning being
Speaker 1: bitched to his sister said. I was like, I was like,
Speaker 1: you've learned a little you could, yeah, maybe, but the
Speaker 1: takeaways that maybe they're just they you know, She's like,
Speaker 1: I just want the tenous redemption, you know, we're we're
Speaker 1: gagging for redemption, but I'm wait. But also that movie
Speaker 1: and Tully too, made me want to go back and
Speaker 1: re examine Diablo and all her work because I remember
Speaker 1: when Juno came out. I think Juno was presented to
Speaker 1: me as a movie that you should hate. No, as
Speaker 1: a movie that I was supposed I love. I love No.
Speaker 1: I think I would love Juno now, But at the
Speaker 1: time they were like, this movie is produced by Judd Apatow,
Speaker 1: and I was really looking for this to be like
Speaker 1: like a fourty year old virgin and wasn't ready for
Speaker 1: like the drama. I remember I went with all my
Speaker 1: like guy like friends in high school, Um, Kenny, Kevin,
Speaker 1: Carl and Nick, the three of them, and we all
Speaker 1: went together, and I remember just like sitting there and
Speaker 1: feeling self conscious because I had been like riding riding
Speaker 1: far to see this movie, and they were like, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, I don't get what's the Hamburger phone?
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh no, like this has maybe
Speaker 1: for me later, but then I like really like hated
Speaker 1: it and I need to go back and see it now.
Speaker 1: But the women in the film like Ellen, Jennifer Garner
Speaker 1: and even Alison Jann So for freaking Jennifer makes that
Speaker 1: whole movie. Jennifer Garner is her levels of empathy in
Speaker 1: that movie and jealousy and just all of it is
Speaker 1: so well. It might be her best work except for
Speaker 1: Think Going on thirty. I like her most playing a child.
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that. I think that's like
Speaker 1: a good scene at the end of thirteen going on
Speaker 1: thirty where she's like my best friend, Yeah, that is
Speaker 1: so good. And we need like rom como, I think
Speaker 1: we do. Why don't you guys right and direct? Okay, yes, great,
Speaker 1: you know what what's the rom com? You want to say?
Speaker 1: What would what's the rom coming? So we actually do
Speaker 1: have a rom com on the on the on the background,
Speaker 1: the deep deep like as in we've tried one conversation
Speaker 1: about it on the one with Carrie Oh yes, okay.
Speaker 1: So it's essentially a version of because we're working on
Speaker 1: a show that's a rom com show, show international rom
Speaker 1: com show where we oh, great, yes, the couples around
Speaker 1: the world anyway, a loosely connected Oh okay, that's that's
Speaker 1: a yeah, that's all we can love angler Okay, it's
Speaker 1: like my best friend's wedding, which is my favorite. But
Speaker 1: it's a girl and her best friend and she's gay,
Speaker 1: and she's her it's her ex girlfriend essentially, and her
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend is marrying a guy and she's like, I
Speaker 1: pretty sure we should be together. And so there's like
Speaker 1: a moment where like it seems like maybe it's going
Speaker 1: to happen in the movies, exploring maybe the couple of
Speaker 1: months before the wedding, like was that really a relationship?
Speaker 1: Was it not? Was it just one way? Was I am?
Speaker 1: I like gasling myself and trying to be like, is
Speaker 1: this about orientation or about what is this about? This
Speaker 1: is so good and pitch on that? Did I pitch it? Okay?
Speaker 1: It loved it. It's about he normativity and also unrequited
Speaker 1: situations that everyone can relate to them. And I think
Speaker 1: also like through what we're saying before, we're a specific
Speaker 1: Poe and Lens. We need, we need, we need, we need.

Speaker 1: You did, you did one of the best trollballs of
Speaker 1: all time. Get out of here. Also, this is my
Speaker 1: favorite thing about what happened immediately before that. So you
Speaker 1: guys were and I think the first or second and
Speaker 1: Joel Kim Booster famously always has poppers on him at
Speaker 1: all times at this moment, so I was scared actually,
Speaker 1: and this is what I'm saying, because I looked back
Speaker 1: at Joel like, puts the poppers under my nose, which
Speaker 1: you're if you're ever around Joel Kim Booster, you have
Speaker 1: to cover your noses because he will put poppers in
Speaker 1: your nostrils and he loves to make your butt hole.
Speaker 1: That is, he's got the dense industrial stuff. He truly
Speaker 1: has a lot of at all times. And he goes, all, right,
Speaker 1: before we go, we're gonna do poppers, and I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm down. So we did them and I looked back
Speaker 1: and Paul, you were just in a state of shock.
Speaker 1: And then Sabrina Jelice comes and I think took the
Speaker 1: largest hit of poppers I've ever seen two and then
Speaker 1: did her I don't think so, honey, and like I
Speaker 1: could see her eyes were just black. She was like, honestly,
Speaker 1: Sabrina is the next level. Absolutely love her. And then

Speaker 1: up with Maria carry thank you, And there was not
Speaker 1: a moment hesitation. Do you have a left ear? Well?
Speaker 1: Does she does? She? She? Oh my god. And you
Speaker 1: know when you do troll ball, then you leave and
Speaker 1: you're like, here's four more, here's four more things. I said.

Speaker 1: of them at all, So just what comes out comes out.
Speaker 1: That's good. We also have to do hundreds, I know,
Speaker 1: I know, like we were literally today we're like, oh

Speaker 1: but man, you want to go first. I do want
Speaker 1: to go first. This is Matt Rodgers. I don't think
Speaker 1: so many as time starts now, I don't think so
Speaker 1: honey that I'm obsessed with the trailer for US, but
Speaker 1: I'm not going to see US because I'm too fucking afraid.
Speaker 1: I don't think so honey. The movie US You are
Speaker 1: fun far too scary, If every little literal thing I'm
Speaker 1: reading is true, I do not like scary movies. It
Speaker 1: physically hurts me to watch them. However, I don't think
Speaker 1: so honey that in order to be part of the
Speaker 1: cultural conversation, I will have had to see US. Today.
Speaker 1: We were in the back of the lift, and I
Speaker 1: don't think so honey. The commercial for US, when Lupete
Speaker 1: and Yango, I was like, that is the most scary
Speaker 1: thing I've ever heard in my life. I am absolutely
Speaker 1: not seeing it. I don't think so honey that I've
Speaker 1: watched The Australia approximately four thousand times. I am obsessed
Speaker 1: with it. I do think, so honey, what they do
Speaker 1: with that song I got five on them. Whatever they
Speaker 1: do like with the orchestra funk that I want to
Speaker 1: see that? Will I see that? I don't think, so honey.
Speaker 1: I am far too afraid Jordan Peele. I don't think
Speaker 1: so honey that you were so good at what you
Speaker 1: do because even in terms of trailer construction, give that
Speaker 1: trailer an oscar. It terrifies me, intrigues me, and I'm
Speaker 1: sucking pissed. That's one minute. Listen. Do you guys do
Speaker 1: scary movies? I don't. I mean I did get Out
Speaker 1: because I don't really. We'll see if it's like Beyond,
Speaker 1: like we'll see you get it. I will see Hereditary,
Speaker 1: but generally hate. Actually did see Hereditary, Okay, did you
Speaker 1: go together? Because Chris said that like you are they
Speaker 1: took We did like it, and I don't usually like
Speaker 1: those movies. I didn't find that to be scary, for
Speaker 1: it was just the alligator that was the only thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, the end is like the end was like
Speaker 1: just too bizarre to be scary to me. I was
Speaker 1: like it was like it was like I heard it
Speaker 1: wasn't worry and like like Happa is nodding his ass off.
Speaker 1: I can't do he just made an emotion to his
Speaker 1: intestines being out. But if you get I feel like
Speaker 1: if people I feel hereditary is probably the scariest miss
Speaker 1: shocking movie I've ever seen. That movie is just for
Speaker 1: the one, the one moment alone when you're talking about
Speaker 1: and I'm just like that wrecked me. Yeah, still think
Speaker 1: about it all the time. I do too, And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I can't believe. Do you have siblings? I do? No,
Speaker 1: see that's I just thought about my mom and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I know, I know, I know. It's
Speaker 1: it's it's you know, hurtful it is for me as
Speaker 1: a gay man to know that Tony Colette is giving
Speaker 1: a tour to force and I can't see it does
Speaker 1: to me. I cannot You're missing on some that's my trauma.
Speaker 1: You're missing on some quality and dad stuff too. Oh
Speaker 1: yeah that's right, yeah really not how stick it in
Speaker 1: and breaking this is not can in and break it off?
Speaker 1: Break it off? All right? Well, I'm just saying like
Speaker 1: it took me literally nine months to see Get Out
Speaker 1: because then when the oscars rolled around, and like I
Speaker 1: was like, I had my SAG screeners and I was like,
Speaker 1: I gotta see it because also like I want to
Speaker 1: be able to talk about it. And then I fucking
Speaker 1: loved it. But I did that thing where it's like
Speaker 1: I would like scroll ahead and scroll back and scroll

Speaker 1: it in honey, And look, why this is this is
Speaker 1: this is like the dumb irony of all this is
Speaker 1: that you're going to fucking out me or you? You
Speaker 1: did you prep shameing earlier? I can't tell if that
Speaker 1: was prep shaming. No, I tried to encourage your sexual actor.
Speaker 1: Well anyway, it's not happening in any case. Well it's
Speaker 1: I just I hate that I have to now take
Speaker 1: this blue pill every every day and feel feels very
Speaker 1: confused about like, well, I guess I should put this
Speaker 1: to good use, but oh wait, I have no access
Speaker 1: to putting this to good use. Very sexually confusing. I'm
Speaker 1: sure I have PREP queens out there who feel the
Speaker 1: same way. Please do you have me only to talk
Speaker 1: about it, only to commisserate in our preps, nothing else.
Speaker 1: I don't want to have sex with you, because, as
Speaker 1: I said before, PREP is killing my sex stripe. But
Speaker 1: I'm only taking it just to have the piece of

Speaker 1: prow It's about dancing, it's about the lights, it's about
Speaker 1: the environment, about the music. Okay, No, it's not right. Okay,
Speaker 1: So who's going first? I feel like, Okay, she's got,
Speaker 1: she's got, she's gotta reading. This is just gonna just

Speaker 1: gifts for your baby, Hell yes, bitch, put that Missouri
Speaker 1: stroller on your registry. I'll buy you that ship. I'm rich.
Speaker 1: Gathering your friends and family to reveal the gender of
Speaker 1: your child is fucking archaic. Okay, this obsession with binary
Speaker 1: is stupid ass. Okay, you're not revealing gender, you're revealing anatomy.
Speaker 1: And if you don't know the difference, you shouldn't be
Speaker 1: bringing a child into this world, honey. Okay, and you're
Speaker 1: gonna release a hundred pink balloons into the sky. Think
Speaker 1: about the turtles they have to choke on your hot
Speaker 1: pink g litter because you needed to reinforce heteronormative stereotypes.
Speaker 1: I don't think you I'm getting you that me Missouri
Speaker 1: stroller anymore, because I don't think so honey. One minute,
Speaker 1: there we go. Honestly, I have said before I don't
Speaker 1: think so honey balloons for this very reason. It's environmentally bad,
Speaker 1: and the ones that say that they're environmentally friendly are lying,
Speaker 1: absolute liars. It's not true. Oh my god, that's that's big.
Speaker 1: That's that's big rubber. And also I don't think so
Speaker 1: honey gender reveal parties. I totally agree, because guess what,
Speaker 1: not always correct either, Oh I'm sure. And also then
Speaker 1: you like a freak and a fool when you've painted
Speaker 1: your whole house blue also who said that blue was well, actually,
Speaker 1: do you know that blue used to be the girl's
Speaker 1: color because the Virgin Mary Okay, the Virgin Mary was
Speaker 1: like blue that was girls. But honestly they had something
Speaker 1: to do with Hitler being like, pink is for girls.
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly potentially spread I think that might
Speaker 1: be anyways. I also like it's such bullshit because you
Speaker 1: always seem like Dad's being like yea when it's girls color,
Speaker 1: and it's like reinforcing for all the children that are
Speaker 1: there that guys are like wanting boys. It's just also gross.
Speaker 1: It's like so and almost it's so gross. I hate it,
Speaker 1: and like TV, I don't want to hear that you'd
Speaker 1: rather have one or the other because that will like
Speaker 1: once you put that out there, like everyone hears it,
Speaker 1: and if you have the other one, it's like everyone's
Speaker 1: a secret. Yeah yeah, it's like I wanted a girl,
Speaker 1: but it's okay. I'm like yeah, it's just yeah, that's
Speaker 1: like what And it feels like, honestly, it's being pushed
Speaker 1: by mom's I'm sorry to like this, but I'm like
Speaker 1: it's a party to like be like, here's the I
Speaker 1: don't know I'm getting now. I am becoming like, well
Speaker 1: not if you like, don't carry it whatever. I'm just like,
Speaker 1: it just feels like it's like a party to be like,
Speaker 1: I can use my body to have a child, which
Speaker 1: is a beautiful, great thing, but like to be like
Speaker 1: and the result of it is the thing that's important.
Speaker 1: That the gender of it is what's important. I'm like,
Speaker 1: just have a baby party. It's like a new life.
Speaker 1: It's a new life party. So you know, not necessarily
Speaker 1: it's gender. That's exactly right. The gender. Gender is dragged.
Speaker 1: Gender gender is dragon. That was a rich one. It okay,
Speaker 1: oh my all of downs? Do you have a little dear?
Speaker 1: Am I going to do it? Yeah? He's okay, So

Speaker 1: And I was like that's I might do it. I
Speaker 1: get it. But you know I love you right everything
Speaker 1: school and listen. Okay, just here's the deal. Okay, here's
Speaker 1: the deal. Okay. I emailed these two after the show,

Speaker 1: It it's like a bizarre you have a grainhouse. I mean,
Speaker 1: people were into it. They were going nuts. It was
Speaker 1: really it was really fun. Also, the thing is about
Speaker 1: I'm so honny is like, truly, I don't think so
Speaker 1: honey is nothing. It's we thought no one would ever
Speaker 1: listen to this podcast. When we started, we were like,
Speaker 1: it's like an hour and a half of time. We
Speaker 1: scheduled each working a play and they were like, well,
Speaker 1: you should have a segment, and I was like okay, okay,
Speaker 1: and so we came up with I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: because it's something we said to each other all the
Speaker 1: time when we were like stupid, yes, and that was like,
Speaker 1: it'll be a minute of us just like ranting whatever.
Speaker 1: Like it's a minute rant like like that. It was
Speaker 1: a revolutionary. It was like it was like a meta
Speaker 1: commentary on segments and podcasts. Yeah, and rant for a minute. Fine,
Speaker 1: and then and then I think it's an outlet people
Speaker 1: want to do. They're like, I need to come on
Speaker 1: to do this. I want to I want to have
Speaker 1: a platform. I want to rant. I want to do it,

Speaker 1: honest with you, it's this is 's the way I
Speaker 1: feel about christ and Sarah to like just to like
Speaker 1: have whatever be doing comedy and then like, oh the
Speaker 1: people that like are doing comedy on like a high
Speaker 1: level and an aspiration away that I like are also
Speaker 1: nice and well we give you the time of day.

Speaker 1: one one that won the broad City Origin and then
Speaker 1: truly shooting the Aquafina pilot and if you talk about this,
Speaker 1: I can't do it, but like just really quickly that day,
Speaker 1: I like, once I wrapped, I walked away to go
Speaker 1: meet my friend Emily for dinner and I cried the
Speaker 1: entire time, just pure just out of pure joy of
Speaker 1: just like, have I talked to you about this? I
Speaker 1: don't think so. Where it was just like I walked
Speaker 1: out of that set, it was like we shot in Chinatown,
Speaker 1: was all Asian background. All the names in the college
Speaker 1: sheep were Asian. We sit down, we're eating food, and
Speaker 1: then like Bead like starts talking to me about like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: like you know, is this your first scene where you're
Speaker 1: eating that you're eating something? And I'm like, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think so, and he was like, well, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Don't eat too much, because then you're gonna just keep
Speaker 1: eating the ship in between takes and be so full.
Speaker 1: And then Nora was like, oh, yeah, don't do that,
Speaker 1: Like that's like pro tip, like don't do that. It
Speaker 1: was just this moment, and then over the course of
Speaker 1: the entire shoot, like it was like there was a
Speaker 1: plate with wood ears, which is just like Chinese fungus
Speaker 1: that like is just a staple in cooking and in
Speaker 1: Asian cooking, and then we all talked about that and
Speaker 1: no one had to explain what it was. And then
Speaker 1: that was like the general sense of it was that
Speaker 1: like no one had to explain anything to each other,
Speaker 1: and like I was like I've never experienced this, like
Speaker 1: walking onto set and like not having to like feel
Speaker 1: like I had to like keep up some layer of
