Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy centralow from the most trusted journalists
Speaker 1: At Comedy Central, it's America's only sources for news.
Speaker 2: This it's a.
Speaker 1: Daily too, with your hosts Daisy Leonek and Michael Costi.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show.
Speaker 2: I'm Michael Costo, I'm Gonny Lynek. We got a lot
Speaker 2: of news to get into. Russian medals in its own election,
Speaker 2: spring break might be broken, and when life gives Elon
Speaker 2: musk lemons, he fires them. But first let's get into
Speaker 2: our ongoing coverage of Indecision twenty four. Donald Trump has
Speaker 2: had a good week. He sealed the GOP nomination, one
Speaker 2: of his fifty four trials was postponed, and he just
Speaker 2: figured out you can google boobs. The man should be
Speaker 2: on top of the world. But some of his close
Speaker 2: friends in the right wing media are concerned.
Speaker 1: And I know you have supporters, friend's family.
Speaker 2: They say it's lonely at the top, And I'm actually curious,
Speaker 2: is it ever.
Speaker 1: Lonely for you?
Speaker 2: What a ridiculous question for a journalist to ask. Of course,
Speaker 2: he's not lonely. He saw his wife just six months ago.
Speaker 2: Walter Cronkite over here, Trump answered this question the way
Speaker 2: he answers every question by saying whatever was on the
Speaker 2: top of his mind at that moment.
Speaker 3: I study history, and I was always told that Andrew
Speaker 3: Jackson as a president was treated the absolute worst. He
Speaker 3: who is just really lambasted. I heard Abraham Lincoln was second,
Speaker 3: but he was in I think called the Civil War.
Speaker 3: I don't care Andrew Jackson or anybody else, nobody when
Speaker 3: you think of the fake things, nobody's been treated like
Speaker 3: Trump in terms of badly. Y.
Speaker 2: Yes, in terms of badly, Trump has been treated the badliest.
Speaker 2: Maybe Lincoln was treated a little bit worse, with being
Speaker 2: shot in the head and all, but I doubt he
Speaker 2: was on his deathbed saying at least I didn't have
Speaker 2: a pee tape rumor.
Speaker 1: That's right, good point.
Speaker 4: And by the way, how mistreated could Andrew Jackson have been?
Speaker 4: The man's on the twenty dollars bill. I use that
Speaker 4: bill every day. It's the one I get to the homeless.
Speaker 4: I asked for nineteen dollars back, but that's not the
Speaker 4: point I mean. I mean, plus, back then, even if
Speaker 4: the press wrote a horrible story about you, half the
Speaker 4: country was illiterate. You know, honey, do you see that
Speaker 4: article about Andrew Jackson.
Speaker 1: No, I can't read. I can't read either. Well, then
Speaker 1: why do we buy this newspaper? I mean, let's move on.
Speaker 4: Let's move on, because not all the influential, powerful men
Speaker 4: in the world have been getting such easy questions this week.
Speaker 5: This morning, a high profile deal between two unlikely partners
Speaker 5: imploding after a confrontational interview between former CNN anchor Don
Speaker 5: Lemon and Elon Musk turned tense during a taping of
Speaker 5: the new The Don Lemon Show that was supposed to
Speaker 5: date you next week on musk platform X.
Speaker 1: Pat speech on the platform is up.
Speaker 6: Do you believe that X and you have some responsibility
Speaker 6: to moderate hate speech on the platform.
Speaker 1: Please?
Speaker 7: I don't have to answer this great replacement theory as
Speaker 7: it relates to Jewish people.
Speaker 1: Do you think that I don't have to answer questions
Speaker 1: from the quarters?
Speaker 8: Don?
Speaker 7: The only reason I've been this interview is because you're
Speaker 7: on the X platform and you asked for it.
Speaker 1: Otherwise there would not do interview with this interview.
Speaker 5: Hours later, Lemon says he received a short text from
Speaker 5: must that read contract is canceled now.
Speaker 4: To be fair to Elon, though you never really expect
Speaker 4: to hire someone and immediately be asked about the Jewish
Speaker 4: great replacement theory.
Speaker 1: Usually want to wait for the Christmas Party to do that.
Speaker 4: But I'm sorry, between Trump and Elon, when did all
Speaker 4: these macho men become such pussies? You know, aren't you
Speaker 4: the ones who complained about the snowflakes and liberal victimhood.
Speaker 4: When Elon bought Twitter, he was like, this is free speech,
Speaker 4: town square, baby, And then then anytime somebody criticizes him,
Speaker 4: he's like.
Speaker 1: The town Square is closed for repairs.
Speaker 5: This is terrible.
Speaker 4: Teddy Roosevelt's critics shot him during a speech and he
Speaker 4: didn't even go to the hospital, which shows one how
Speaker 4: tough he is and two how terrible healthcare was back then.
Speaker 4: But look, these alpha males today get one tough question
Speaker 4: and they start whining, like my kid when I tell
Speaker 4: him he can't watch Cars two for.
Speaker 1: The eighth time today. Well, daddy, it's not fair. Well
Speaker 1: you know what else is in fair?
Speaker 4: Son, It's not fair that I, a grown man, know
Speaker 4: all the words to Cars two.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's very sad, costume, it's very sad. Let's move
Speaker 2: on to the big news in the travel industry. The
Speaker 2: guy at Boeing, whose job it is to change the
Speaker 2: days without an incident's sign, got to stay home from
Speaker 2: work yet again.
Speaker 6: This morning in American airlines, Boeing Triple seven, traveling from
Speaker 6: Dallas to Los Angeles, forced to make an emergency landing
Speaker 6: after reports of mechanical problems. This video capturing the moment
Speaker 6: the plane carrying two hundred and forty nine people touched
Speaker 6: down at Lax Airport with a possible flat tire. This
Speaker 6: comes on the heels of several other incidents on Boeing
Speaker 6: planes in recent days. On Monday, hydraulic fluid began leaking
Speaker 6: from the bottom of this Boeing Triple seven. Boeing failed
Speaker 6: dozens of FAA audits with nearly one hundred instances of
Speaker 6: non compliance after that door plug flew off a seven
Speaker 6: thirty seven Max nine in January.
Speaker 2: Boeing, what is going on with you? There should be
Speaker 2: no leaking fluids on planes unless you were the guy
Speaker 2: on the diarrhea plane. He's he's grandfathered in. He can
Speaker 2: leak anywhere he wants. At this point, Boeing's competitors barely
Speaker 2: even need PR departments. They look so good for doing
Speaker 2: just the bare minimum air bus. We don't have any
Speaker 2: screws left over in the bag. All right, I have
Speaker 2: to say at this point, I'm just done with Boeing airplanes.
Speaker 2: Back to cruise ships for me, where nothing bad ever happened.
Speaker 1: Well, you know who's not worried about Boeing? Does he.
Speaker 2: Me?
Speaker 1: All Right?
Speaker 4: Yeah, a door fell off and there was a leak,
Speaker 4: but guess what, the plane still landed. Boeing should be
Speaker 4: advertising that, Boeing, we forgot some screws, but you still
Speaker 4: made it to Tampa.
Speaker 1: They agree.
Speaker 4: You know what's way less safe than flying, Taking a
Speaker 4: car to the airport by driver this morning passed a
Speaker 4: semi truck by cutting through a playground.
Speaker 1: So no, I'm not worried about Boeing.
Speaker 4: The truth is, even with the doors falling off, air
Speaker 4: travel is still the safest way to get around.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm gonna keep flying.
Speaker 4: I even flew here today from Brooklyn, so I don't
Speaker 4: mind if a door flies off now and then. In fact,
Speaker 4: I wouldn't mind if a few more doors flew off,
Speaker 4: If more people were scared of flying, I could get
Speaker 4: through security a hell of a lot faster. I've got
Speaker 4: all the things pre check global entry clear clear plus,
Speaker 4: clear plus with ads and I'm still waiting fifteen minutes
Speaker 4: for a guy to full up his stroller for the
Speaker 4: first time in his life. And if you disagree, too bad,
Speaker 4: because planes are the only game in town. What I'm
Speaker 4: not gonna fly to Vegas for my college buddies fantasy
Speaker 4: football draft?
Speaker 1: Grow up.
Speaker 2: Let's move on to some international news, because the US
Speaker 2: isn't the only country having an election this year.
Speaker 9: Russians will head to the polls for three days beginning Friday,
Speaker 9: to vote in a presidential election that has Vladimir Putin
Speaker 9: seeking a fifth term.
Speaker 1: President. Putin is urging voters.
Speaker 2: To cast ballots as a show of patriotism.
Speaker 1: Every vote you cast is valued and meaningful. Therefore, I
Speaker 1: urge you to exercise your right to vote.
Speaker 2: You heard Vladimir Putin. Every vote in this Russian election
Speaker 2: is valued and meaningful, which is why the winner of
Speaker 2: this race is completely up in the air.
Speaker 4: Right, anything can happen, daisy, So of course we're going
Speaker 4: to go all out with a complete team coverage and
Speaker 4: another installment of Democratski twenty twenty four. Let's start over
Speaker 4: at the election center with Ronnie Chang.
Speaker 1: Ronnie, what are the results, Ronnie, what are the results
Speaker 1: showing so far? Oh, it's a tight race, Michael.
Speaker 10: Let's look at the map here, the red areas are
Speaker 10: Warepoon is winning so far. He's doing well with urban voters, farmers,
Speaker 10: dead people, dead people, college degrees, and women inside of
Speaker 10: larger women. Is our lodger women?
Speaker 1: All right, sounds like he's doing great. Can we just
Speaker 1: call the race for him? Well, let's not get ahead
Speaker 1: of ourselves.
Speaker 10: Okay, take a look at this area right here, just
Speaker 10: outside of Moscow. Okay, you can see he's in real danger,
Speaker 10: falling below ninety nine in this region. So we're gonna
Speaker 10: have to watch that as the night progresses. I mean,
Speaker 10: it's democracy. Anything can happen.
Speaker 1: Ronnie, Ronnie, I think that one percent just went down
Speaker 1: to zero percent.
Speaker 10: Oh oh wow. Then want to come back for Putin?
Speaker 10: I told you anything can happen.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for make great great, Amalarica great, Analosle.
Speaker 2: All right, for a look at the situation on the ground.
Speaker 2: Let's go live to Moscow with some fresh exit polls
Speaker 2: and trot Troy. You wanna, Troy? What are you learning?
Speaker 1: Does it?
Speaker 7: We're learning a lot about why Russians are so drawn
Speaker 7: to Vladimir Putin. Listen to these exit poll results. First,
Speaker 7: ninety four percent of voters said they did not want
Speaker 7: to accidentally fall out of a window, and ninety six
Speaker 7: percent said they did not want to be poisoned.
Speaker 1: So those are the top two issues.
Speaker 7: Third being Putin's age.
Speaker 1: Okay, so voters are worried about Putin being too old.
Speaker 7: No, they're saying Putin is so robust for a seventy
Speaker 7: one year old that he might do too good a job.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 7: Also the falling out of a window thing. They can't
Speaker 7: emphasize that enough.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I can see how that would be a concern.
Speaker 2: How much longer are the polls open.
Speaker 1: Until nine pm?
Speaker 7: And Russian officials are telling voters if you're in line,
Speaker 7: stay in line or there will be consequences.
Speaker 4: Okay, well, thank you, Troy, I mean geez, of course,
Speaker 4: you know, Putin was not running un a posed. So
Speaker 4: let's go to the opposition's election night party with Grace
Speaker 4: Kohle and Schmidt.
Speaker 2: Gray Gray, how's the mood in there? It's grim, there's
Speaker 2: no music, no food.
Speaker 11: We're on an ice floe in the East Siberian Sea
Speaker 11: and it's a cash bar.
Speaker 2: Wait, you're on an ice float. That doesn't sound like
Speaker 2: you're at a party. Well it's less of a party
Speaker 2: and more of a floating prison.
Speaker 4: But whether we live or die out here, it's still
Speaker 4: less depressing than the Hillary twenty sixteen parties.
Speaker 2: Who Okay, good luck, And finally let's go to the
Speaker 2: Putin victory party at the Krenlin with Jordan Klepper.
Speaker 1: George, you've been to a lot of political rallies. How
Speaker 1: does this compare? It's great, Michael, No notes, what a
Speaker 1: win for democracy?
Speaker 4: Really, you're not gonna do that thing where you talk
Speaker 4: to the kooks who are blindly faithful to their party leader.
Speaker 10: No, Michael, everybody is normal here and I have no
Speaker 10: reason to question or subversively mock anyone.
Speaker 1: Okay, Putin twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: Russia is a free and open democracy. Speak your mind.
Speaker 2: Let's hear some cutting barbs.
Speaker 1: Are you trying to get me killed? Oh? Hey, hey,
Speaker 1: freeve yet, mister president? Six more years? Six one hundred
Speaker 1: more years?
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, good.
Speaker 1: Luck in November. Wait, he has another election this November. Oh,
Speaker 1: a big one, just not in Russia.
Speaker 2: Hey, thank you everyone, great of the democracy and.
Speaker 1: Action so true, and we come back, spring Break, don't
Speaker 1: go away.
Speaker 12: Welcome back to the Daily Show.
Speaker 2: Talk about spring break, the most exciting week of the
Speaker 2: year for college students and gonorrhea gnera.
Speaker 1: Not that bad, of course.
Speaker 4: One of the hottest spring break destinations is Florida, where
Speaker 4: the beaches are as bountiful as the meth dealers, but
Speaker 4: in recent years the fun has been getting dangerously out
Speaker 4: of hand.
Speaker 1: One Florida city has had enough.
Speaker 2: Miami Beach is breaking up with spring Break, shutting.
Speaker 9: Down spring Break in Miami this year, city officials told
Speaker 9: those spring breakers to go somewhere else, restrictions including the
Speaker 9: closing of the beach at six pm and liquor stores
Speaker 9: at eight to drive.
Speaker 1: The message home. A public service announcement that's gone viral
Speaker 1: Miami Beach telling rowdy spring breakers it's not us, it's you.
Speaker 1: Maybe we can talk when you're done with your spring
Speaker 1: break phase.
Speaker 2: Miami is shutting down spring break. Where else will college
Speaker 2: students be able to get alcohol poisoning and have terrible
Speaker 2: sex with each other? And who is Miami to get
Speaker 2: upset with spring break? One in three people there is
Speaker 2: a DJ are they like keep it down? I'm trying
Speaker 2: to be super loud over here.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 4: Because of the crackdown, many students have decided to go
Speaker 4: to Fort Lauderdale instead of Miami. But that's not a
Speaker 4: good idea either, because one it's Fort Lauderdale, and two
Speaker 4: the cops there are hassling spring breakers in a way
Speaker 4: that might even be worse brain break.
Speaker 8: Descending on foot Loaderdelle, Florida with huge crowds flocking there
Speaker 8: after Miami put in strict curfews and restrictions, but Fort
Speaker 8: Lauderdale police are turning the festivities into a possible job
Speaker 8: offer bought here.
Speaker 2: I'm just just running the message that we're recruiting right
Speaker 2: now actively for all police officers.
Speaker 5: Sing alongs, trivia games, the Fort Lauderdale police having fun
Speaker 5: with spring breakers.
Speaker 1: Are you guys ready? Yeah, all right, you got your
Speaker 1: thinking caps on?
Speaker 5: You're ready to go.
Speaker 4: Obviously they don't have their thinking caps on, then they'd
Speaker 4: get a thinking cap tan line, But I'm sorry, do
Speaker 4: you know how bad your spring break has to be
Speaker 4: to want to become a cop?
Speaker 1: Afterwards?
Speaker 4: Usually when college students get blackout drunk, they wake up
Speaker 4: with a penis sharpeat on their face.
Speaker 1: These kids are waking up like, why do I have
Speaker 1: a police badge.
Speaker 2: How do you even try to convince spring breakers to
Speaker 2: become cops? Are you just like walking down the each
Speaker 2: You guys are in good shape. Would you be willing
Speaker 2: to get out of shape?
Speaker 4: Hey, I see you're blowing at I see you're blowing
Speaker 4: all your parents' money. How'd you like to blow an
Speaker 4: entire city's money so.
Speaker 2: You're not solving a murder at the moment? Would you
Speaker 2: like to get paid to not solve a murder?
Speaker 4: I notice you've been sitting doing nothing for six straight hours.
Speaker 4: You want to keep doing that but with a gun?
Speaker 2: Crush a lot of beer today? I want to keep
Speaker 2: doing that, but with a gun.
Speaker 1: Of course, if you don't want a good job, does you?
Speaker 4: Of course, if you don't want to go to Florida,
Speaker 4: there are literally hundreds of other fun does is of other?
Speaker 1: There's one other fun place for you to go on
Speaker 1: spring break, and that's New Orleans.
Speaker 4: And to prove the Big Easy still knows how to party,
Speaker 4: here's Fox News with a major scoop.
Speaker 1: I had the opportunity to talk to one lady yesterday.
Speaker 2: Young lady.
Speaker 4: She's a senior at Texas Tech, and she told me
Speaker 4: when I asked her.
Speaker 1: What does she do the prep for spring break. She
Speaker 1: says she applies her bronzer and did she does cocaine,
Speaker 1: And that really the heart of this. That's some story.
Speaker 1: She applies the bronzer before she does the line of coke.
Speaker 1: She wants to look good before she gets hot.
Speaker 13: I never heard it before, right, that's crazy, And she
Speaker 13: admitted that.
Speaker 1: Oh stop.
Speaker 4: I mean, this isn't the first time Fox has talked
Speaker 4: to someone who's abusing bronzer and cocaine.
Speaker 1: They've been covering the trumps for nine years. Take it.
Speaker 1: At least she's doing it in the right order.
Speaker 4: I mean this one time I snorted bronzer and applied
Speaker 4: cocaine and it totally ruined my grandmother's funeral.
Speaker 1: But the point is spring break can be risky.
Speaker 4: People are abusing drugs, they're getting in the trouble, they're
Speaker 4: considering careers in law enforcement.
Speaker 1: It's frightening stuff.
Speaker 4: And that's why, for the sake of yourself and for
Speaker 4: your future kids, drop out of college. It's the only
Speaker 4: way you can avoid spring break altogether.
Speaker 2: It's grated Michael. Stick around because when we come back,
Speaker 2: Renee Elise Goldsberry is here.
Speaker 12: Welcome back to the day show.

Speaker 2: funniest lines ban the entire show.
Speaker 13: The show is very dense. We call it JPM dense
Speaker 13: jokes per minut it. We showed that that clip that
Speaker 13: you just saw at the premiere, and everyone missed the
Speaker 13: third joke because they were laughing at the first one.
Speaker 13: That's just how funny is You have to watch it
Speaker 13: several times, which is good because it's streaming. Yes, it's
Speaker 13: really a dream come true of a job. We laugh hysterically.

Speaker 13: and so they decide that they are back. In the
Speaker 13: first season, in the first season, and they decide they're
Speaker 13: going to stay together. In the second season, they make
Speaker 13: an album called Raternity, and in the third season they
Speaker 13: go on tour. That's that's what's Hot and New. All
Speaker 13: three seasons are on Netflix, but the third season is
Speaker 13: Hot and New. You find us in Fort Worth Texas.
Speaker 13: We've written a song. We've written a song. It's called
Speaker 13: tap into Your part Worth. We do it because we
Speaker 13: discovered it.
Speaker 2: Tony right, that's the Tony right there.
Speaker 13: No, we basically discovered there's a hole in the market.
Speaker 13: It's like the biggest city that doesn't have a song
Speaker 13: about it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 13: I wonder if you make a song called tap into
Speaker 13: Your fort Worth and you find us.
Speaker 2: In the beginning of season three, killing in fort Worth, she.
Speaker 1: Was also in Hamilton.
Speaker 4: I wanted to ask you because the show is frustratingly
Speaker 4: funny and seems at ease. However, how are you reading
Speaker 4: the jokes in the script and then saying here's what
Speaker 4: I'm an bring to it.
Speaker 1: I mean, is it the actors adding things? Or is
Speaker 1: that all in the script? I mean, there's so many
Speaker 1: jokes in this thing and makes me angry. Now I know,
Speaker 1: so is that you? Is it the script? Is it all?
Speaker 1: Is it everybody working together? Is it improvising?
Speaker 8: What is?
Speaker 2: It starts with?
Speaker 13: Well, you know, actually, it's funny that you mentioned Hamilton
Speaker 13: because it reminds.
Speaker 1: Me of that.
Speaker 10: I was.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I say, I say it is as often as
Speaker 13: I possibly can.
Speaker 2: No, it's it's sometimes you find yourself in a perfect storm.
Speaker 13: The writers are brilliant there, it's it's Meredith Scardino and
Speaker 13: Tina Feates, It's anybody like thirty Rock, anyone ever. It's
Speaker 13: that team of writers and producers. There's the greatest just
Speaker 13: design team, the great we have all these wonderful songs.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you about the cast. Sarah burrellis, Paula
Speaker 2: pel Busy, Phillips.
Speaker 13: We have there's a lot of flashbacks between the nineties
Speaker 13: and today so that we can just kind of figure
Speaker 13: out what went wrong.
Speaker 2: There was a lot that kind of went wrong in
Speaker 2: then that we weren't aware of.
Speaker 13: Sometimes it's fun to just kind of tap into the
Speaker 13: misogyny of these pop groups in the nineties.
Speaker 2: You will blame no it's true, and you do touch
Speaker 2: on all of that women. When you look back on
Speaker 2: how female pop stars were treated in the nineties and
Speaker 2: the early odds, it's like it's atrocious. I actually was that,
Speaker 2: and I was definitely in my twenties and the nineties
Speaker 2: trying to be a pop star. I didn't even have
Speaker 2: one hit, so I'm actually kind of proud of this group,
Speaker 2: but I do I had no idea. I used to
Speaker 2: be in a group that was trying to get signed,
Speaker 2: and we had a song called.
Speaker 11: Oh yes you can, Yes you can find you a
Speaker 11: good man. But when you do, you gotta treat um right,
Speaker 11: make sure you love.
Speaker 2: Is that out a skite now? Now? I mean, come
Speaker 2: on you guys, Yeah.
Speaker 12: You're claughing.
Speaker 13: But in reality, like, there's so many songs we could
Speaker 13: write about something other than finding a good man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's yeah, that's what we get to do on
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 13: Sarah Burrellis plays the character Dawn, and we know that
Speaker 13: she's a brilliant Grammy Award winning songwriter, but it's fun
Speaker 13: to watch her try to figure out how to write
Speaker 13: songs badly.
Speaker 2: On this show. Your character is so she's so incredibly
Speaker 2: confident and really demands the attention of everyone in the room,
Speaker 2: almost to the point where where she's sort of a
Speaker 2: little uh action almost ed.
Speaker 10: She is.
Speaker 2: She is just shy success, just shy of it. But
Speaker 2: on the paper it could read like that. But you
Speaker 2: have a way of making her so relatable and endearing
Speaker 2: and you root for her.
Speaker 1: How do you do that? Well?
Speaker 2: I root for her. It's funny.
Speaker 13: I think our experience with anything is really about our
Speaker 13: perspective in the moment right now, I am a woman
Speaker 13: of a certain age who would love to have a
Speaker 13: pop album, who would love to w'd love to try
Speaker 13: to make it.
Speaker 2: But I'm always looking at myself.
Speaker 13: Like, that's a ridiculous thing to ask at this age,
Speaker 13: To be a bubblegum pop star at fifty years old,
Speaker 13: that seems ridiculous to ask.
Speaker 2: And I love the fact that I'm on the show
Speaker 2: where someone is trying.
Speaker 13: I love the fact that this crazy group of people
Speaker 13: gives himself the license to dream. It's really more than
Speaker 13: funny in that way. So, yeah, she's very obnoxious, she's
Speaker 13: very self centered. She's the reason why the group broke
Speaker 13: up the first time. But you know, it helps you realize,
Speaker 13: you know, no matter how bad you mess up, you
Speaker 13: have another you have an opportunity for a second shot.
Speaker 13: And yeah, and we can understand why anybody that ambition
Speaker 13: is so strong it makes you want to root for them.
Speaker 4: That's one of my favorite parts of these characters is
Speaker 4: they make fun of themselves, but they still dream and
Speaker 4: they aspire. And my question for you is is that
Speaker 4: you in real life as well, and how do.
Speaker 1: We keep aspiring?
Speaker 2: How do we keep aspire right, And I had this question.
Speaker 4: And other and people said, Michael, you're going to ask her,
Speaker 4: that's that silly question. And I said, I want to
Speaker 4: know how I'm.
Speaker 2: Going to keep a spy because you are a dreamer.
Speaker 1: Can I sing my songs?
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're optimistic yet doing there they are aware of
Speaker 4: their faults and I love it.
Speaker 13: So, yeah, how do you keep how do you keep aspiring?
Speaker 13: First of all, I think that's the beauty. You surround
Speaker 13: yourself with people that don't laugh at you right when
Speaker 13: when or unless unless it motivates you to be laughed at,
Speaker 13: because that works too. But you surround yourself by people
Speaker 13: that are trying to do what you're doing. I think
Speaker 13: that's hugely important, and you have to talk about it
Speaker 13: a lot. And what I love about the character Wiki
Speaker 13: I love that she just has these audacious ideas. In
Speaker 13: season three of Girls fy Veva, she books them a
Speaker 13: gig at Radio City Music Hall on Thanksgiving morning. Yeah,
Speaker 13: big swings, because all the money they've made to do this,
Speaker 13: it's obnoxious. It's ridiculous, Like you kind of need somebody
Speaker 13: out there that takes big swings because it's either going
Speaker 13: to decimate you or you're going to pull something off
Speaker 13: and move forward.
Speaker 2: That's a I think that's inspiring. Do you have situations
Speaker 2: in your own life where you you meet a challenge
Speaker 2: and you have to channel your inner wicked? Because I
Speaker 2: sometimes would love to be able to channel WICKI roy
Speaker 2: I put on a lot of.
Speaker 13: Care, I put on a lot of there it is,
Speaker 13: and I get somebody to put some eelashes on.
Speaker 2: No, I actually turn the show on. Believe it or not.
Speaker 13: That sounds so obnoxious, not just like you know, I
Speaker 13: feel bad today, I'm going to turn myself on television.
Speaker 2: But I actually am doing that this season.
Speaker 13: Because I love I just love the audacity of these women.
Speaker 13: I think it's super funny. We started doing the show
Speaker 13: in the middle of COVID, when it was just good
Speaker 13: to be in breathing around other people. I think we
Speaker 13: gave each other a lot of crazy messaging during the
Speaker 13: last couple of years because we had to survive and
Speaker 13: that was distance means safety.
Speaker 2: I think this show proves that that's not true.
Speaker 13: And I just feel I feel when I look at
Speaker 13: these women that it's okay to have a license to dream.
Speaker 13: I think it's okay to be ridiculously ambitious. I think
Speaker 13: it's okay to join together with your friends at any
Speaker 13: age and sing harmony and dress up.
Speaker 2: Like you talked about wanting to be a pop star
Speaker 2: and that seeming ridiculous. But you have your own album
Speaker 2: coming out.
Speaker 10: I do.
Speaker 2: I do. It's coming out in twenty twenty four. It is.
Speaker 1: It's Yeah.
Speaker 2: I've been writing music for a long time.
Speaker 13: I've been a lyricist for a long time, and I've
Speaker 13: had the great privilege of being able to sing a
Speaker 13: lot of other people's lyrics like linn Manuel Mirandas and
Speaker 13: Jonathan Larsons and I was.
Speaker 2: In Hamilton, did you know?
Speaker 8: So?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 13: But I'm excited about the audience that we have on
Speaker 13: our own at the stage of our lives. I'm excited
Speaker 13: about the fact that I actually have more followers than
Speaker 13: girls five e us so why not try? But most importantly,
Speaker 13: I do believe that it's never too late to try
Speaker 13: something new.
Speaker 2: And there are women of every age that are killing
Speaker 2: it right now.
Speaker 13: I mean, look, there are just there are just I
Speaker 13: remember when we first started doing this show, Jennifer Lopez
Speaker 13: was doing pole dancing at the halftime show at the
Speaker 13: Super Bowl. Yeah, Like, I love the fact that we are.
Speaker 13: We are celebrating those women right now. We should be
Speaker 13: celebrating those women because they're inspiring us that it is
Speaker 13: never too late to have a country album. Beyonce, Yes,
Speaker 13: it's never. It's never too late to reinvent yourself. That's right, Well,
