Speaker 1: Forever. Look mad oh, I see my look over there?
Speaker 1: How is that culture? Yes, goodness culture. And you might
Speaker 1: call what we just did a jingy. We did a jingi,
Speaker 1: and we wrote a jingi which is a jingle, but
Speaker 1: not quite well. I didn't know it was essentially not
Speaker 1: completely a jingle. It's just we just had three notes
Speaker 1: and bowen Um just coined the term a jingi, which
Speaker 1: is actually takes the same amount of time and energy
Speaker 1: to say jingi and jingle. In fact, I mean different things.
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, yeah, a jing is a tiny jingle. Yes,
Speaker 1: that is what a jingy is. And now, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I love it. It's just a distinction with a difference.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? You know how people
Speaker 1: say it's a distinction without a difference. This is a
Speaker 1: distinction with a difference. So jingki is a little trouble.
Speaker 1: And we said and we sing hp B. Now you
Speaker 1: might be asking who is HPB. Well, if you if
Speaker 1: you listen to our last episode of Iron Madison the third,
Speaker 1: you know HPB hot producer brod He's the l a
Speaker 1: counterpart two HPJ. And also we want to say something
Speaker 1: what we love you forever dog, And we love you
Speaker 1: so much and we love eco Plex because we this
Speaker 1: is listen, it'll already have happened, and they have been
Speaker 1: an episode already right after we've done it. But this
Speaker 1: is we are recording this episode the day after our
Speaker 1: show at Ecoplex, and we were gagged because I don't
Speaker 1: think so Honey played in l A. Honey, it played
Speaker 1: in Hollywood. They liked it, they liked it. But we
Speaker 1: can talk about we can talk about the differences. Oh yes, please,
Speaker 1: the New York and l A differences do not stop
Speaker 1: at last. Cultures doesn't. And it's a different energy. No,
Speaker 1: but it's really not two different although this is there
Speaker 1: were the only thing there was one. Let's bring our
Speaker 1: guests into this discussion. Bring it and then we'll get
Speaker 1: the truth. So our guess is really a New York sister.
Speaker 1: She's a New York sister, but she's an l A queen,
Speaker 1: the true Sometimes you go from a sister to a queen.
Speaker 1: It's actually a really culture. She's got a sweatshirt that
Speaker 1: says what upside down New York? Outside down New York,
Speaker 1: and she really did turn a New York upside down?
Speaker 1: Can I say what my rutal culture yes, it's rule
Speaker 1: culture number forty three. You go from a princess to
Speaker 1: a queen. What do we say? I don't know you
Speaker 1: from New York princess queen? Is that? Alwa said? New
Speaker 1: York sister, we go. You go from a New York
Speaker 1: sister to a to an l a queen. Okay, one
Speaker 1: more time. My hand will and I also I also
Speaker 1: want to change what number it is, because I know
Speaker 1: there's a rule of culture number. It's rule culture number
Speaker 1: sixty nine. You go from New York sister a l
Speaker 1: a queen. Credit because you ordinarily say the credits, I
Speaker 1: feel as of late, yeah, as of later, I said
Speaker 1: that I can can cop to that. So you say
Speaker 1: the credits bally iconically, our guest plays Janet on the
Speaker 1: Good Place, and this is not We throw around iconic
Speaker 1: a lot, and so does the community. Really, so does
Speaker 1: the community? Everyone throws around iconic a lot. Well, this
Speaker 1: is real because once you have someone doing a Halloween
Speaker 1: costume after you, you bitch, you are icon Yes. Anyway,
Speaker 1: she's also on HBO's Barry Bill Hayter Fish She'll Hate Fish,
Speaker 1: Kirby Hollibautiste writer Door I Live and Um she is
Speaker 1: of course the iconic spoiler alert villain in an Emmy
Speaker 1: for Megan, Yes, honestly, an Emmy for Megan, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe an Emmy for Darcy. Maybe an Emmy in a
Speaker 1: real way for Darcy Carden. That's me. Hello, Hi, And
Speaker 1: now let's ask what was your experience last night? Because
Speaker 1: you were on the bandwagon for getting I don't think so,
Speaker 1: honey out or you didn't I you said it? Do
Speaker 1: you remember? I do remember you said on this very podcast,
Speaker 1: on your last episode, you said it's not going to
Speaker 1: be the same. It's hard to get that same vibe
Speaker 1: in an l A crowd. But how do we feel?
Speaker 1: I think it was. Here's here's a couple of things
Speaker 1: that I'll say. The couplex was amazing. It was fucking
Speaker 1: packed to the guilt. Actually, when I walked into the theater,
Speaker 1: I was like, God, damn, that's a lot of seats.
Speaker 1: Now guess what people? Not only was every seat filled,
Speaker 1: but like five rows deep of like a like a
Speaker 1: horseshoe of people around around the seat came out. L
Speaker 1: A came out. They came out. So I was that's
Speaker 1: part of it. I feel like l A doesn't come
Speaker 1: out usually come out, especially on a Tuesday night, as
Speaker 1: people mentioned a Tuesday night late, not that late, but
Speaker 1: kind of like we'll started. Um, so they came out.
Speaker 1: I thought the energy was great. I mean I will
Speaker 1: always sort of I always do think that an l
Speaker 1: A crowd is a little maybe not tamer, but a
Speaker 1: little more. Um is their guard up? Is that there
Speaker 1: a little more not mental? What is it? What is it?
Speaker 1: I think it's okay? Can I say this? Can I venture?
Speaker 1: You can say and the sharks can come for me.
Speaker 1: But maybe and this this happens in New York too,
Speaker 1: but maybe especially in l A. Given the makeup, the
Speaker 1: composition of the crowd, maybe a lot of it is
Speaker 1: why aren't I up there? Maybe I'm not reading. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, like I have this too, Like this wasn't
Speaker 1: the energy last night that this was. I'm saying, that's
Speaker 1: not the energy, but like we had. But I feel you.
Speaker 1: I feel I didn't. Maybe I didn't even notice that
Speaker 1: or whatever, But I don't think that's wrong. Okay. I
Speaker 1: felt that the crowd a game show was a little reserved.
Speaker 1: Like so Darcy came to Game Show, which is Daved
Speaker 1: Mazzoni's an show New York. We've had We've had a week.
Speaker 1: I said. I was like, we're going to see each
Speaker 1: other three days in a row, and that I like,
Speaker 1: And that's a week. Three days is famous. That week,
Speaker 1: yes a number seven and three days is a week.
Speaker 1: Three days is a week. Three days is a week.
Speaker 1: But I felt, and I don't know if you felt
Speaker 1: this way, but when you came out to the show
Speaker 1: in New York at caveat shout out to Night, that
Speaker 1: was electric. That was electric enity where I was like,
Speaker 1: us be suns but it was also a Monday. And
Speaker 1: also God love UCB. They God feed me breakfast every
Speaker 1: single morning, whatever that means. But you see, my sunset
Speaker 1: is a hard room in general. It's similar to like
Speaker 1: a UCB East, although different. Yeah, I think you CEB
Speaker 1: East is tough because it feels so deep you can't
Speaker 1: see anything and you seeb sunset is so massive and
Speaker 1: such a high ceiling. It's hard and when you very
Speaker 1: much yes, and there was yeah, and there was a
Speaker 1: nice crowd, but it wasn't packed to the gills in
Speaker 1: that room. For me, historically has only felt really good
Speaker 1: when there are people like sitting on the ground, like
Speaker 1: really full I'll sometimes see like, I think, what's the
Speaker 1: show that Tarver does where they they get high and
Speaker 1: do improv Is that when like, um wait, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's I sometimes see like the popular
Speaker 1: shows like Modnight. I guess I'll see like Instagram stories
Speaker 1: and it looks packed and the energy feels it looks
Speaker 1: good as sunset. Ask Hat is fun? I mean the people,
Speaker 1: you know, like almost up to the stage. But I've
Speaker 1: done so many shows there whether where it's not very
Speaker 1: packed and you just feel like cavernous. Yeah, are you
Speaker 1: still doing ask Out every week? Not every week, but
Speaker 1: as many as I can. You can. Gotta have it.
Speaker 1: I gotta have it. I simply have to. Is it
Speaker 1: like church. It's a little bit like church, and you
Speaker 1: know I love church. I love to go to church
Speaker 1: with my family. Let me point out one mile the
Speaker 1: difference that I was going to Let's get back to no, no, no,
Speaker 1: really quickly. This is what I was going to mention. Um,
Speaker 1: whenever people pick the trouble it was, it was not
Speaker 1: as big as a novelty. I'm just gonna say, the
Speaker 1: New York crowd just goes. I felt that too. Maybe
Speaker 1: it's because there was a lot of writer types and
Speaker 1: actor types in the crowd who loved the tech right
Speaker 1: right now. Actually, I was kind of shocked even in
Speaker 1: the second set of five when somebody I can't remember
Speaker 1: who said should I do trouble or should I do
Speaker 1: my pre prepared? I was expecting just an uproar of
Speaker 1: so many people said prepared, and then I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is different. Yeah, it was great A titleman, I believe, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I remember this moment um. Yeah, I mean, listen the
Speaker 1: differences between New York and l A do not stop.
Speaker 1: I love by the way that being said, the show
Speaker 1: last night was it was, it was, It was wonderful,
Speaker 1: and it really did for me being in New York.
Speaker 1: It really felt homie in a way where I was like,
Speaker 1: really pleased. I mean, I that's a show that that
Speaker 1: you could easily leave after you perform, do you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying? And nobody did, like all fifty performers watched.
Speaker 1: I also like, I think like the performers doing this show,
Speaker 1: like we sensed a nervousness we were and that's it's
Speaker 1: so different from the first time we did it um
Speaker 1: in New York. Because I don't think anyone was Yeah,
Speaker 1: I forgot. Yeah, oh my god, look at this. My
Speaker 1: mom would like to face time or is that crazy? Um?
Speaker 1: HPP could cut this out. Honestly, doesn't work. Let's just
Speaker 1: see if this is gonna work. Okay, here we go.

Speaker 1: we're yes, Hello world. What are you guys doing today? Well, nothing,
Speaker 1: we're hanging out. We just wanted a pizza. They're just
Speaker 1: we justa y they're not seeing there. There was a discussion.
Speaker 1: There was a discussion when we ordered the pizza about
Speaker 1: whether or not New York Pizza was going to be
Speaker 1: a definitively better than La Pizza. However, we just had
Speaker 1: a good l a. Yeah, but you see, I'm on TV,
Speaker 1: so you see what I'm meaning. You didn't have the
Speaker 1: pizza she had. She had a pizza. That's true. Well, Matt,
Speaker 1: you are pizza boy. Well you are pizza boy. How
Speaker 1: are you guys? No, Matt, Now we have to stop. Well,
Speaker 1: just lately, it's got San Francisco in and mind your mother. Hey,
Speaker 1: look where that is? Look where this is? You know, yeah,
Speaker 1: big San Francisco area. Wait, what do you what are
Speaker 1: you saying? Say it again? I'm saying every commercial I
Speaker 1: see this guy San Francisco in and I play oh
Speaker 1: because we just saw a clusterfest and now I guess
Speaker 1: my dad is aficionado on San Francisco. That's right. Well
Speaker 1: that's good. If it's a bridge, I know what it
Speaker 1: is famously. Um alright, so briefly summarize your day and
Speaker 1: then we have to go. Okay, let's see. Oh, we
Speaker 1: went to the movies we saw we knew that was
Speaker 1: what did you give a brief review? Well, I thought
Speaker 1: it was good, but it wasn't exciting as um Oceans eleven.
Speaker 1: I liked the Vegas background, but you know, I'm all
Speaker 1: about women power and loved it. Yes. Oh and you
Speaker 1: guys saw her perform live too, Yeah, shout out to her.
Speaker 1: It was awesome. Yes, and even though you should have
Speaker 1: been able to expect the late twist, being it's an
Speaker 1: Ocean's movie, yeah, I didn't see it coming in, so
Speaker 1: that was fun. It was good. I thought they did
Speaker 1: a great job with it. Obviously a great cast, so
Speaker 1: how could it How could it not be? I thought
Speaker 1: it was good with a very fun cast and very
Speaker 1: fun movie to watch, rich In, Katrina ch Rich and Katrina.
Speaker 1: I'm going to pitch something. It doesn't have to be
Speaker 1: every episode, but I think you should do a Mom
Speaker 1: and Dad's reviews of movie culture. Well, it's funny that
Speaker 1: you say that because we just started on our Patreon.
Speaker 1: We started a new kind of Patreon episode we're gonna
Speaker 1: be doing called Matt and Our Cisco and Bit, So
Speaker 1: maybe we can get your feet I think you should.
Speaker 1: I think you should have you know, a weekly or
Speaker 1: a monthly. Yeah, that's a good idea. So you guys
Speaker 1: stay available. Okay, are you tech? Are you tech avail?
Speaker 1: He's tach Avail. Well, well we have kind of confirmation
Speaker 1: on Richard. We love you, guys, love you, Thank you.
Speaker 1: I'll call you back later. We can have a real
Speaker 1: conversation that's not performative. Oh my, good bye, by treat.
Speaker 1: Did that work, Brett? It worked? It tunny. You know,
Speaker 1: even if it didn't work, it works. Wow. That was
Speaker 1: that was. Now we know that they saw Oceans, which
Speaker 1: we also saw and I'm seeing it tonight. Oh wow. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I feel like there was a little bit of
Speaker 1: a spoiler that that there is a twist. Well, I
Speaker 1: listened to your am Ram episode, so I've fucking spoiled
Speaker 1: to death. Honestly, here's the deal. But you don't need
Speaker 1: it exactly. That's not why I'm going I'm not going
Speaker 1: through the twist. You know there's you will be. But
Speaker 1: what are you going for? I'm going for the women, Yes, women,
Speaker 1: I'm acting. Yes, I'm going for the Luke's. Yes, I'm not.
Speaker 1: You're not going to Ocean's date for the the intricately
Speaker 1: woven realized conflict. No, I'll if I get it, I'm pleased.
Speaker 1: But I'm going for the Sandy and the Kate and
Speaker 1: the fucking pulsing and and Helen and Indy. It's truly
Speaker 1: and let's never rule a culture number culture one hundred
Speaker 1: and Rihanna, this is a soup of words, but you're
Speaker 1: swimming in the soup at Ria. Did we wrap up?
Speaker 1: I don't think so we did absolutely. All I'll say
Speaker 1: is this, there was a nervousness amongst the performers, and
Speaker 1: I hope that this was a watershed moment for people
Speaker 1: that were maybe a little bit in their heads and
Speaker 1: just so you can get out there and scream, honey,
Speaker 1: there were a lot of really good trouballs, though. Can
Speaker 1: we shout out some of the good trouballs? Squeeze? How
Speaker 1: about Emily Schmidt's Paul McCartney died. You two are old
Speaker 1: pals for basketball together, but she really yes, we plan
Speaker 1: basketball team together for years. I love from you guys,
Speaker 1: but for a time as long as I've been in
Speaker 1: l A. And one time we had a um like
Speaker 1: a date with my parents because I knew my parents
Speaker 1: would love her, and I think my mom bought her
Speaker 1: like a like a um A designing Women Women. I
Speaker 1: can't think the actress is name Dixie Carter. No, the
Speaker 1: one with the most drama designing Women Delta Delta like
Speaker 1: memoir or something. Anyway, Oh that's fast, she was so
Speaker 1: I love that she got Paul McCartney. The thing that's
Speaker 1: so fun about the Trouble, which I'm sure you know
Speaker 1: if you listen, is that they're usually very beloved. You know,
Speaker 1: topics are people. So getting Paul McCartney for most people
Speaker 1: would be you know, very hard to do. But she
Speaker 1: went she went door, she went dark, and we will
Speaker 1: not spoil too much about it because the live episodes
Speaker 1: are not will not have come out before this, so
Speaker 1: just snow she picks Paul McCartney out and it's just like.
Speaker 1: Another one that I really liked was Louis Rtel Chelsea Clinton.
Speaker 1: That was he was amazing, That was fantastic. He has
Speaker 1: a very fast brain. I actually when he was done,
Speaker 1: I said to my sister Miranda himrith. I was like,
Speaker 1: I would watch him do ten in a row, controulballs
Speaker 1: in a row. I think it was like people. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: he um did a very good one. And also there's
Speaker 1: his first pull. Yeah, and I don't want to spoil
Speaker 1: too much. I guess I'm gonna know. I want to
Speaker 1: I don't want to take that from me. There's okay,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say here, here's what I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: The the instinct right off the bat, the thing to
Speaker 1: pick gone, I think was exactly the right. I totally
Speaker 1: agree it was face. Yeah. By the way, did you
Speaker 1: hear with and just said the face? He said her face? No, Louis,
Speaker 1: this is a light to where Lewis goes into the
Speaker 1: faces she makes at her she made out her mother's Okay, great,
Speaker 1: great great. Yeah. Well then I guess actually that shade
Speaker 1: on me or even thinking that you were saying something
Speaker 1: projective specific polls specific poll loved it and it works.
Speaker 1: It's always good to get specific. And that's actually a
Speaker 1: real culture number forty nine. Always good to get specific.
Speaker 1: That is actually very true what you say. We know
Speaker 1: we have an improv BA. Yes, we have an improv background.
Speaker 1: Two of us, more than one of us. But what
Speaker 1: do you even mean? I were not druggle. It was
Speaker 1: it was not your favorite. I never was able to
Speaker 1: get out of my head when he came to improv
Speaker 1: I was never I think if I did it now
Speaker 1: it would be better because I now I feel like
Speaker 1: very comfortable with myself. But I was having a hard
Speaker 1: time when I started taking inpro clas. This is when
Speaker 1: I was nineteen and I didn't know myself and I
Speaker 1: didn't know how to naturally kind of like be myself
Speaker 1: on a stage. And that's kind of rule number one, right, right, um,
Speaker 1: just have to be able to be natural and have
Speaker 1: a conversation with someone. At nineteen, You're like, I'm funny.
Speaker 1: I gotta be funny. I gotta show them that I'm
Speaker 1: funny or whatever it is, right, And I literally came
Speaker 1: out of the closet during my one oh one, which
Speaker 1: probably means like there's other things to focus on them,
Speaker 1: like doing a grounded scene. You know, I'd be it's
Speaker 1: a funny thing with improv because I'm like, go back
Speaker 1: to it, But also like why would you right at
Speaker 1: this point, I don't also that when I'm well into
Speaker 1: my fort and you know, not to say that people
Speaker 1: can't pick up whenever because we've seen the classes. We've
Speaker 1: seen the class. Yes, did you ever teach no? Dorijuana? No?
Speaker 1: I always had a hard I mean I coached, but
Speaker 1: I always had a hard thing with teaching improv that
Speaker 1: I couldn't quite wrap my head around, which is like
Speaker 1: I know the rules, but I have a hard time
Speaker 1: telling someone there doing it wrong. It's so sort of yeah,
Speaker 1: like like, um, what is what was a good word
Speaker 1: for it? It's orphous and it's also um, there's a
Speaker 1: good word that starts with a letter C. It's it's
Speaker 1: um No. It's like, wait, this is like a very
Speaker 1: easy simple word, but because what does it mean? What
Speaker 1: does it mean? Here's what it means. It basically means
Speaker 1: I think it's good, but someone else might not. Its
Speaker 1: subjective subjective, and it's subjective. Ye oh, I knew, we'd um,
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I coach characters and sometimes sketch,
Speaker 1: and that's something where it's kind of more like I'm
Speaker 1: comfortable because there's a scriptor we can go through it
Speaker 1: and jokes and everything, and I can give my perspective
Speaker 1: an opinion. But like in terms of improv that it
Speaker 1: is like there are different things that work for different
Speaker 1: and there's no yeah, yeah, you make it up as
Speaker 1: you literally make it up as you go along. You
Speaker 1: truly do right, So I could be like here's something
Speaker 1: like I feel like I had, Um, oh, nph is
Speaker 1: going to like call me out for saying like so much.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something shady, shady bit that NPH
Speaker 1: is shade y have we had to run in with
Speaker 1: n pH d I not in not in this town,
Speaker 1: not in this town town well in New York. But
Speaker 1: he was totally nice. But also I have he you know,
Speaker 1: he's he's so rich and famous. That's what I'm saying. Like,
Speaker 1: I was a little nervous spoiler alert for um, I
Speaker 1: don't think so, honey, I go in on hard. And
Speaker 1: also I have a little bit of anxiety about it
Speaker 1: because you came up right after and you're I don't
Speaker 1: think so, honey. Was I can't believe we're all going
Speaker 1: to like talk about people on this podcast. Let's recorded,
Speaker 1: like people listen to it. And then I was like, oh, ship,
Speaker 1: I know, I kind of wish I was last right,
Speaker 1: just to kind of I mean, yeah, I love it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: why did we do this? Yeah? Yeah? But honestly, Neil,
Speaker 1: that was an arrogant thing to tweet out. It was,
Speaker 1: and but I think what the way Rachel called it
Speaker 1: out afterwards, None in none in her own tweet. But
Speaker 1: she she did this in interview JQ. She was like, um,
Speaker 1: you know, when you're when you have seven million followers,
Speaker 1: any unformed thoughts seems like a fucking gem, And so
Speaker 1: he probably thought it was like, because you get ten
Speaker 1: thousand likes on it, that's the thing that is kind
Speaker 1: of scary about Twitter. I agree with her what she said.
Speaker 1: It's like at a certain point, it's like you say
Speaker 1: something and like just because somebody likes it, you feel like, no,
Speaker 1: it was good. Yeah, if there's like to think about
Speaker 1: it like this, there's billions of people in the world,
Speaker 1: just you could be getting likes from the six worst people.
Speaker 1: Oh my, the six Who they are? You know who
Speaker 1: they are? And they know who they are? Six No,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what's so sick about them is that
Speaker 1: they know who they are. Okay, here's the thing that
Speaker 1: is disgusting with the six. They know who they are.
Speaker 1: Them should be name them you will, I'll go around Okay,
Speaker 1: would you say one then? Dar? Okay? Um? Oh my god, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know Pam the words that the way that she
Speaker 1: is Pam. Pam also like has like a decent job,
Speaker 1: but she like will like rub it in your face. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I get you. You work at accounts payable, but at
Speaker 1: like a cool office whatever. No, I know she's the worst. Okay,
Speaker 1: so it's hard for me because we're friends. But Ashley,
Speaker 1: I don't even like when people bring her off. I know.
Speaker 1: But it's like, here's the thing. You are actually funny
Speaker 1: and smart and cool, So why do you put all
Speaker 1: this other stuff on it that makes us fucking hate? Yes, seriously, seriously,
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I agree with you, Alright, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say it. Kim Jong Kim my god. And he
Speaker 1: knows he's just doing it's about power and it's really
Speaker 1: disgusting and honestly, like he's really corrupting people who aren't
Speaker 1: evil but just so fucking dumb and like it's crazy.
Speaker 1: It's just crazy to say. Okay, and now here's the
Speaker 1: thing I was going to say, Stalin, So this bid
Speaker 1: is now done because you went to the top, meaning
Speaker 1: like like you know what, I don't want to tie
Speaker 1: you can with you. And also the three of them,
Speaker 1: we didn't they know who they are. It's actually okay, um,

Speaker 1: very good. We all gave you, know, emotional opjects totally.
Speaker 1: I love that. Yeah, I really love that. Okay, So
Speaker 1: I also I have nothing, but I also just want
Speaker 1: to say, and I felt I've thought this before. You
Speaker 1: think you don't think of yourself as an improviser, but
Speaker 1: I actually think on this podcast, you are a fucking
Speaker 1: wonderful thank you very much. Like I'm hearkening back to
Speaker 1: the Patty Harrison episode, you are a yes ending queen.
Speaker 1: I love to y. Can I tell you? That's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I think if I started to do it now,
Speaker 1: I think I'd be rather good, yea rather good, yea
Speaker 1: rather good. I'd be rather good. I always second guess
Speaker 1: my words because I don't know my words, but my
Speaker 1: heart I know that I know that that's a roll culture.
Speaker 1: I do know that let's put it on a on
Speaker 1: a T shirt. But honestly, like honestly honestly, but not honestly. UM,
Speaker 1: I just feel like, yeah, the reason I was so
Speaker 1: bad at is because I was in my head like
Speaker 1: I've never felt the way I felt before my Lloyd audition.
Speaker 1: The blood left my feet. I wanted to die and
Speaker 1: also it went to my penis. Okay, mommy, Daddy, gonna listen.
Speaker 1: Can say on this episode they have seen me do
Speaker 1: much worse. Um, but literally I had just like slayed
Speaker 1: a Mode audition like they did, like an invited Lloyd
Speaker 1: callback and I was invited to do it, and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh no, They're going to see me be
Speaker 1: literally the least funny person in the world, and confirmed
Speaker 1: I was. I also think that it's like maybe a
Speaker 1: misconception that all funny people can do all the funny
Speaker 1: things like writing, acting, improv sketch. It's like they're different. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're totally different. It's weird. I think it's weird that
Speaker 1: like there's the Harold and that's what they do it
Speaker 1: you seeb, and then there's a Mode which is like
Speaker 1: all sketch, you know what I mean. So it's like,
Speaker 1: did you do both both? Yeah? Did you like the
Speaker 1: Harold as a form um? Occasionally when it worked it
Speaker 1: was like magic, and when it didn't, felt like you
Speaker 1: were insane? And yeah, yeah, exactly like you. You couldn't
Speaker 1: make like a fucking something fit into another thing, another square.
Speaker 1: You can make one square, yes, you can make one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you can make it, make one spet. But you are
Speaker 1: an improviser. Yeah, but he was so good for so
Speaker 1: many years and then you stopped doing and I stopped,
Speaker 1: And now do you think you can't because you can't.
Speaker 1: I did the last the last improper show I did
Speaker 1: was like all queer, like all queer improvisers, mostly queer audience.
Speaker 1: Like it was like everything was set up for success
Speaker 1: and it was fine, and I was like, if I
Speaker 1: can't even like if I can't even feel great about
Speaker 1: not great, but like what am I doing? Sure? Although
Speaker 1: it's like a great, it's like you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: a it's a lot of people's gateways, it's it was mine,
Speaker 1: and I feel a little it's it's complicated. Do you
Speaker 1: usually slept sure? Maybe? Yeah? Sure? I mean also being
Speaker 1: slept on is maybe a blessings when it comes to
Speaker 1: like later, I don't know, yeah, because I have a
Speaker 1: contract with them for a hundred fifty years years. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm signed with you. You got to figure out I'll
Speaker 1: probably die in like two three years to think. So yeah,
Speaker 1: your soul is you know why? Because I always text
Speaker 1: and walk yeah and walk upstairs. Well, you know whatever,
Speaker 1: I just improv. It feels like a young man's game.
Speaker 1: But I don't know. If it makes you feel good,
Speaker 1: do it. It's not too late. I sometimes go through,
Speaker 1: especially when I'm shooting. She can't stop talking. But I
Speaker 1: have a hard time, like sort of my I get
Speaker 1: a little brain dead. So I do less improv shows,
Speaker 1: and then a month will go by, or two months
Speaker 1: will go by. Even this last weekend I did an
Speaker 1: asked cat and I hadn't done it in maybe two months,
Speaker 1: and I got nervous before where I was like, you remember,
Speaker 1: do you? Is there a lot of room for improv
Speaker 1: on the Good Place set? There is? It's a it's
Speaker 1: a it's sort of a weird answer because there is
Speaker 1: room for it, but we don't do it almost at all,
Speaker 1: Like when I say room. Actually maybe it's because wait,
Speaker 1: let me rephrase, there isn't really room for it. It
Speaker 1: is allowed, and I'm sure nobody would would mind. The
Speaker 1: writers would love it, make sure would love it. Nobody's
Speaker 1: telling us not. But it's it is a suit. It
Speaker 1: is so tightly scripted what I was thinking, we almost
Speaker 1: don't change a fucking thing, because what's like the butterfly
Speaker 1: effect if you that's part of the sister dren and
Speaker 1: then like and then it's on a like a fast
Speaker 1: track to storytown, right, fast tractor storytown. As soon as
Speaker 1: you mentioned John, right, do you feel that as you
Speaker 1: shoot more and more and more that you are liking
Speaker 1: it more and more and more, that it becomes more
Speaker 1: of a family every single day, like you can't wait
Speaker 1: to raise your kids on the set and the words
Speaker 1: of Pat Regan, Oh yeah, and the words of anything
Speaker 1: in the words of Pat Regan, um so meaning do
Speaker 1: I like this? I'm loving it? I'm fucking loving it.
Speaker 1: I had, I had. I was talking to a friend, Okay,
Speaker 1: find my trainer. Oh my god, it's culture number. I
Speaker 1: was talking to my friend my trainer the way what
Speaker 1: happened in your eyes when you were like my friends?
Speaker 1: I was like, who was what if my trainer was
Speaker 1: just me saying m apostrophe trainer and I was actually
Speaker 1: talking about making train and trainer anyway. She was like,
Speaker 1: are you are the days? Like does it? Does it
Speaker 1: get old? Basically She's like, you must be so busy
Speaker 1: and so tired and blah blah blah, and I was like, no, dude,
Speaker 1: it's fucking great because I don't know, it's really I
Speaker 1: do think it's really easy to complain about being on
Speaker 1: a set. It's a weird thing that we've either all
Speaker 1: done or have heard, and when it comes out of
Speaker 1: my mouth, I feel like because you just you just think,
Speaker 1: like where would I rather be? I'm trying, this is
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to do, and yeah, think of like
Speaker 1: any other job you've ever had, So I um truly deeply,
Speaker 1: like I don't mind the five am wake up call,
Speaker 1: wake up call, wake up call from my fucking alarm
Speaker 1: cloth up. I think, yeah, that's the wake up call.
Speaker 1: Like there's there's no the long days if we're if
Speaker 1: we add an extra scene to the end of the
Speaker 1: night and it pushes the night longer, like I don't
Speaker 1: give a funk. I never do never, And I and
Speaker 1: and the pas and everybody are very apologetic because actors
Speaker 1: can be psychos. And I'm always like, we're fine, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is great. This is where I've always wanted to
Speaker 1: be and I'm here, so I'm good. Sometimes do you
Speaker 1: give me free food? Sometimes I'll be in like a
Speaker 1: like a mindset like that, and I'll see another actor
Speaker 1: like kind of like being crazy, and I'll go out
Speaker 1: of my way to like do they wear yourpootois for them?
Speaker 1: And be like where so we have a having a
Speaker 1: really good ye totally. Yeah. I also like being on
Speaker 1: a set. It's like the actors are treated like kings
Speaker 1: and queens or babies either way, like they're treated like
Speaker 1: little tiny puppies and there it's insane and to complain
Speaker 1: about anything is hilarious because everybody else on the set
Speaker 1: is doing so much more than you are, and they
Speaker 1: got there before you did. Even if you is so
Speaker 1: right right you're called him as five am. Guess what
Speaker 1: the other people got there at fucking four thirty or
Speaker 1: four o'clock or I was gonna say, I was gonna
Speaker 1: say three oh coluct on the morning. Okay, three oh
Speaker 1: coluc on clock on the morning to you. But also
Speaker 1: like y'all have like a great cast, like oh my god,
Speaker 1: cast you and you and Kristen doing that Instagram live.
Speaker 1: I could have watched that for decades, a decade watching
Speaker 1: We'll do more, you know more, she is heaven on Earth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you said that you said that in your last episode,
Speaker 1: and I was like, really, thank god, yeah, because she
Speaker 1: seems that way. And there's a lot of celebs and
Speaker 1: we've just met a bunch of celebs over the past,
Speaker 1: and some of them when they come in and you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: that wasn't that was what I wanted. I want to
Speaker 1: say most but they're not that we don't knowwe us anything.
Speaker 1: But it's wonderful when Kristen Bella is ones and there's there.
Speaker 1: I just I there are not enough words. I fucking
Speaker 1: adore her. She is such a good such a good person.
Speaker 1: But I also think like her image is sort of
Speaker 1: squeaky clean. It's she's like funny. She's so funny and
Speaker 1: dirty and real and down to earth and she's just
Speaker 1: she's like number one. She's amazing. We put her on
Speaker 1: a dream list of people that we want to have
Speaker 1: on this podcast. I think that's impossible. I don't think.
Speaker 1: And that's why we put her on the last because
Speaker 1: because I wish you had an inn, I wouldn't dare
Speaker 1: put you in that position. All the next Instagram line,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna I'm gonna be commenting and never stopped
Speaker 1: right and then I'll be like, oh, this is this
Speaker 1: is actually funny. This is my friend Matt Rogerson. This
Speaker 1: is so crazy. Um, I do this podcast with them
Speaker 1: occasionally once a year, once a year when they when
Speaker 1: they fly through. Yeah, I mean you're so busy about
Speaker 1: like it would be such a gag if you did it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: She was on the wish list, um, and was on
Speaker 1: the way Yeah. These are two podcast queens and podcast
Speaker 1: que I mean I guess she's married to a podcast
Speaker 1: queen meaning, but these are two podcasts podcast people. That's
Speaker 1: why I put them on there. And there are other reachers.
Speaker 1: Michelle Visage from Well we interviewed her Ultra fest and
Speaker 1: and she was wonderful. Start yeah, start sucking going nuts
Speaker 1: on this. Just you guys have a thing. It's a
Speaker 1: fucking thing in the fucking world. People are coming out
Speaker 1: for it. You gotta treat it like, yes, go for it,
Speaker 1: go for it. I'm also I understand being like I
Speaker 1: don't want to put someone out, but like go for it.
Speaker 1: And also to be honest with you, like there's a
Speaker 1: thing of like like when we interviewed Margaret Show, like
Speaker 1: she's like a hero of mine here and I find
Speaker 1: that I'm bad on those episodes like you, you're in
Speaker 1: your head a little right, because it's not my friend
Speaker 1: I'm talking to. It's like someone that intimidates me deeply. Well,
Speaker 1: you know that maybe we'll go away with time or
Speaker 1: maybe not. I mean, I hope when I become a
Speaker 1: huge star, when I become very famous, like oh, I
Speaker 1: don't know, Tom Cruise a cruise are us? Yes? When
Speaker 1: he married yeah, of course, when he married Penelope and
Speaker 1: then with her sister, those things, both those things happening. Um,
Speaker 1: I will probably be so famous that I'll be able
Speaker 1: to talk to anyone, even Glenn Close. Can I can
Speaker 1: I ask you a medical question? Yes, a medical question?
Speaker 1: Medical question? Metal, I always okay. I don't know how
Speaker 1: you were. So here's the thing, like Matt and I,
Speaker 1: we were not necessarily equipped to interview celebrities in a
Speaker 1: way that is specific to like real journalists, real journalism.
Speaker 1: We are to whatever and so you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: actually major in poop to scoop with a major with
Speaker 1: a minor And do you okay? And then I just
Speaker 1: feel like I sometimes I don't know how you felt. Mat.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna give you some tea. You can
Speaker 1: speak for me. I'm not saying I'm not speaking for you.
Speaker 1: I'm saying I don't know how you if you felt
Speaker 1: this way during all these these you know, these crazy
Speaker 1: interview press room days. I was like, I feel like
Speaker 1: the biggest jack asked just I don't think these poor
Speaker 1: people like the dumbest question. Well, because we came up
Speaker 1: with all the questions and we don't know what to
Speaker 1: what to ask. And then I don't know if you
Speaker 1: know about this, but we got into a little bit
Speaker 1: of drama with it was so weird and then they
Speaker 1: should talk to us on the talk, right, It was
Speaker 1: so freakish. Yeah, and we were like why or why
Speaker 1: is this happening? We didn't even we don't even do
Speaker 1: this right, So my question to Darcy is like, what
Speaker 1: is I don't know, I don't even know. We'll just
Speaker 1: say what do you feel? And then we'll talk about it. Yes,
Speaker 1: remember when I couldn't come up with the word, yes, subjective,
Speaker 1: do subjective? But with this question, okay, okay, speaking what
Speaker 1: is like? What is your least? I don't know, but
Speaker 1: this is a shitty question. It's loaded. Ask it and
Speaker 1: then we'll say what is it? To you, what is
Speaker 1: like that Underbilly? What like why why do we feel
Speaker 1: shitty on the other side, and of course the other
Speaker 1: person feels shitty too. It's like why, why why does
Speaker 1: this thing happen where the publicists come in and like
Speaker 1: tell you what to say and like what is that? Well, okay,
Speaker 1: it's hard because I did. I also did what not
Speaker 1: as cool as what you guys have been doing, but
Speaker 1: I did, like what are they called junket? I was interviewed,
Speaker 1: and it was it was a terrible day of my life.
Speaker 1: It was like I there was all these things swirling
Speaker 1: around in my head, like I was interviewing actors in
Speaker 1: from this movie. I don't even should I even say
Speaker 1: the names. It doesn't matter. There's anything called the Orange,
Speaker 1: which was like Aliah shock at and and and the
Speaker 1: cute guy from from the O C And like um
Speaker 1: um right there, yeah, Alison, Janny, like all these people
Speaker 1: that this Hugh Lorri like all these people that I
Speaker 1: look up to, and also I want to work with.
Speaker 1: I want to it's the same. Tell me if this
Speaker 1: makes sense. When I worked at a restaurant and somebody
Speaker 1: famous would come in that I was a fan of,
Speaker 1: I would never tell them I was an actor. I
Speaker 1: never had anything other than here's your soup, because I
Speaker 1: was like, this is not the way this is going
Speaker 1: to happen. Yes, I want to be I want to
Speaker 1: meet you when i'm your friend on a set with you.
Speaker 1: I don't want to meet you by telling it's it's
Speaker 1: a hard thing because it's hard because it's not it's
Speaker 1: not a guarantee. It's like, right, well, and and you
Speaker 1: interviewing someone, unless it's maybe your own talk show, it
Speaker 1: feels like you're it feels like you're putting them out.
Speaker 1: It feels like you're like begging for their time. It
Speaker 1: just sucks. By the way, all that being said, the
Speaker 1: way you guys do it is right, well, that's what
Speaker 1: the Vulture who who is great Bay the way this
Speaker 1: is like we love Ulture and they told us like,
Speaker 1: we want you guys to be yourselves interviewing them because
Speaker 1: they wanted like a fun take on the whole thing.
Speaker 1: And so what we do is we go in there
Speaker 1: and we be ourselves. Now that I think to these
Speaker 1: people coming in most of the time goes great, but
Speaker 1: sometimes there's this situation where you can't really read the person.
Speaker 1: And with Tracy he was hard to read because we
Speaker 1: thought maybe we were getting like Tracy Morgan the persona.
Speaker 1: And he came in and he's like kind of like
Speaker 1: a weird, odd, eccentric guy. And so we asked a
Speaker 1: pretty you know, benign question, which was um Bone called
Speaker 1: him the star of the Last o G and then
Speaker 1: he was like, I'm not the star. It's not like that.
Speaker 1: So what it was before we even brought up Tiffany
Speaker 1: that he was just like, I don't want to have
Speaker 1: this conversation. And then it turned into this beautiful meditation
Speaker 1: on set life and yeah, it was great, and it
Speaker 1: seemed loose, and then he's like, you know, we have
Speaker 1: to we have to turn the attention to everyone. And
Speaker 1: I said, well, how has it been watching Tiffany? How
Speaker 1: to Shplowa? Did you know her from before? And she said,
Speaker 1: he's like, no, we're not going to talk about Tiffany.
Speaker 1: Do you know that this was referenced in her Holly
Speaker 1: Would Reorder article today? Yes, and so someone's Jesse David
Speaker 1: Fox Advulture sent it to us and she, I mean,
Speaker 1: her response, I think is like, so it's so it's measured,
Speaker 1: but it's also yeah, it's telling that it's measured. She's
Speaker 1: just like you know, like it's just like I don't
Speaker 1: care or like it doesn't get to me because that's
Speaker 1: just Tracy being Tracy, which is great, and like I
Speaker 1: respected him for so long. It's it's just weird getting
Speaker 1: like it's weird that this Like it's just weird that
Speaker 1: it happened to me. So I just I just don't really,
Speaker 1: I'm like having this weird reckoning with like, is this
Speaker 1: like what you like as far as you mean like
Speaker 1: doing this job? Yes, yes, yeah, I mean well there's
Speaker 1: a thing of like you get the opportunity and because
Speaker 1: we're both now we're both now entirely freelance, like you
Speaker 1: don't say no no money, and and then you get
Speaker 1: there and it's like, um, you really want to represent
Speaker 1: who you really are? And I think for the most
Speaker 1: part we do. But then the poll that like gets
Speaker 1: like the attention is like this weird thing where we
Speaker 1: can look bad and I look at the video and
Speaker 1: I feel like I look insane because I'm doing my
Speaker 1: performer thing of not in my head and flapping my
Speaker 1: foot and dapping my dapping and you know that thing
Speaker 1: we all say, And I'm like, oh, I look insane
Speaker 1: because I'm not supposed to do that. It's it's a
Speaker 1: weird like every sucking god, I mean, do we learn
Speaker 1: from every interview I've done every what, every like audition,
Speaker 1: every photo shoot, everything like that. I always talked to
Speaker 1: either of my husband Jason Hija, oh, my manager Justin
Speaker 1: Hi Justin afterwards, and at some point in the conversation,
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, you live and you learn. It's like
Speaker 1: I now know not to say it like that right now, No,
Speaker 1: not to phrase a thing like that or do this
Speaker 1: pose or whatever. It's like, we're just figuring it out
Speaker 1: as we go, and this is not career defining for
Speaker 1: you guys, know it was it was like it was
Speaker 1: like a little one of those weird little explosions when
Speaker 1: you're like, but it's it's nothing, It's gone. I mean literally,
Speaker 1: who cares. It just was this thing of like a
Speaker 1: few days where I was like, oh, Julie Chech just
Speaker 1: called us inappropriate and disrespectful, right, which, of course you
Speaker 1: know you're not, and also I'm so respectful that and
Speaker 1: mostly appropriate. But then you just feel like it's a
Speaker 1: little out of your hands when somebody on a TV
Speaker 1: show is saying you know, it can feel very like, well,
Speaker 1: now what do I do? Like I have to defend myself,
Speaker 1: but yours are doing everything right. Everybody loves you, everybody
Speaker 1: as we have everyone. Not Kim john Houn, not anymore
Speaker 1: after this podcast, and yes I called her her, not
Speaker 1: after we fucking took down the three three three. But anyway,
Speaker 1: I don't know that was that was like a little weird,
Speaker 1: a tiny weird moment. But then you realize that that
Speaker 1: happens millions of times a day every day with like
Speaker 1: the news cycle and the sensationalism of the media, and
Speaker 1: maybe maybe more now than ever, right right, like a
Speaker 1: big I mean a trillion, a big fat trillion, But
Speaker 1: I mean people even talk about this with don't say
Speaker 1: his name, but the president and everything like how quickly
Speaker 1: things happened, huge things happen. You fucking forget that. So
Speaker 1: you know, anyway, that wasn't even what you wasn't even
Speaker 1: a bad short. It wasn't even bad. You don't love it,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't even It wasn't And you know what,
Speaker 1: I'll say that my manager and my husband, this is
Speaker 1: my question. He found it, I found it. Subject call
Speaker 1: that horror. So what is the thing that that, if
Speaker 1: anything at all, what is the thing that gives you
Speaker 1: discomfort being on this side of things now on the
Speaker 1: like interviewed, I think it is having my words being
Speaker 1: taken out of context, being afraid because I'm like being
Speaker 1: I don't know, a funny like a community want to
Speaker 1: and spoiler alert, but like my even my um my,
Speaker 1: I don't think my draintmaker trainer, but I don't think
Speaker 1: so honey was kind of telling of where I'm at
Speaker 1: right now. Like I know I was joking, but it's
Speaker 1: also like I'm afraid to say the wrong thing and
Speaker 1: have someone come for me or someone I'm a little
Speaker 1: bit of a people pleaser in real life, and that
Speaker 1: doesn't like go away when more people know your name.
Speaker 1: Um So, I have found that I really you have
Speaker 1: a hard time reading back interviews that I've done. I
Speaker 1: feel like I sound dumb, and I feel like I
Speaker 1: sound like that's not really what I meant. You wrote
Speaker 1: it this way, but that's not how I And the
Speaker 1: headline that they put on is always like a headline
Speaker 1: to get people click and you're like, oh god, that
Speaker 1: was not like what I came there to say, yes,
Speaker 1: And then also then I get in my head, doubly
Speaker 1: because I'm like, I'm spinning out about this, but literally
Speaker 1: no one cares, right, And then I'm like, who do
Speaker 1: I think? I Am like, it's easy, you know, it's
Speaker 1: it is a mobia strip of panic. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: um yeah No. I constantly am worried about that, and
Speaker 1: especially because now, like literally there's hundreds of hours of
Speaker 1: us talking right right right forever, like forever and really
Speaker 1: and it's just like it's just out there and posterity,
Speaker 1: which is freaky paper. It's so freaky hpp. What are
Speaker 1: the ways that theoretically if we wanted something laughing crying
Speaker 1: because of my voice? What do you say if we
Speaker 1: wanted something theoretically completely white white? It's like like like
Speaker 1: robbed no trace? How much would that cost? Who do
Speaker 1: we pay? It's free, It's that's so nice. I just
Speaker 1: mean like off the internet or off of one of
Speaker 1: these episodes. And no, I'm just saying, like we need
Speaker 1: to dredge every fucking corner right delete the podcast. That's
Speaker 1: what we're saying. I want a new identity. I need
Speaker 1: to get a new identity. Some sometimes I think about that.
Speaker 1: I'm like, this might be a measure that any of
Speaker 1: us have will have to take some day. You know.
Speaker 1: What's what's always makes me sad is people say, I'm
Speaker 1: catching up on the podcast. Wow. Different times. It's like
Speaker 1: that before the election, when we talked a lot about
Speaker 1: how Hilary was like totally going to win, like it
Speaker 1: was going to be so fucking excited, and like like
Speaker 1: literally there's like a two episode um period where Donald
Speaker 1: Trump had just one and I feel like everyone's voices
Speaker 1: that we were depressed. We were depressed. It was, and
Speaker 1: that lives and honestly, it's a beautiful time caps it is.
Speaker 1: It is. It is because pre election that was a
Speaker 1: different feeling in the world now. Honest Actually, the thought
Speaker 1: of going back to a podcast and listening to a
Speaker 1: pre Trump is almost too much to bear. It's too
Speaker 1: much to bear. I can't do it. It's unbearable. It's
Speaker 1: actually unbearable. It's unbearable. Actually, it's more than I can bear. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: far more than I would wish to bear. You know, bone,
Speaker 1: there's no one on the planet like me. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: talking to you. Sorry. I was thinking about how there's
Speaker 1: no one on the planet like me. You know, there's
Speaker 1: no one on the planet like either of us or
Speaker 1: you at home listening. And here's my question, Because there's
Speaker 1: no one on the planet like you, why would you
Speaker 1: buy a mattress that's built for just anybody. You don't
Speaker 1: want a mattress that's built for everyone else. You need
Speaker 1: your own, customized, personalized mattress, honey. And that's why I
Speaker 1: think you should consider Helix Sleep mattress and pill. I
Speaker 1: love Helix Sleep because they work with the world's leading
Speaker 1: sleep experts and they've developed a mattress that's customized to
Speaker 1: your specific height, weight, and sleep preferences, so you can
Speaker 1: have the best sleep of your life at an umbeatable price.
Speaker 1: Here's how it works. Go to Helix Sleep dot com,
Speaker 1: fill out there two minutes sleep quiz and they'll design
Speaker 1: your custom mattress. They can even customize each side for
Speaker 1: you and a partner. This is my favorite thing about
Speaker 1: he looks is that if you have a different sleep
Speaker 1: situation than your partner, you can have one side of
Speaker 1: your bed that's literally made for whatever you desire god
Speaker 1: and your partner can have their situation. So, for example,
Speaker 1: if you're someone that gets really warm at night or
Speaker 1: needs to be warm, you can get your gig and
Speaker 1: then on the other side of the bed they have

Speaker 1: a show that's a hit and has gotten like critical
Speaker 1: you know, award attention in the past, that that floats
Speaker 1: through the mind, and then they invite you to come
Speaker 1: be in the picture, right, and you go to an
Speaker 1: event for it, it's like, oh my god, Yeah, it
Speaker 1: is a little bit like, oh my god, it's it weird,
Speaker 1: it's weird, it's weird, it's mostly weird. It's really sweet
Speaker 1: as sweet as a dumbward like flatter. It's yeah, it's
Speaker 1: surreal and every you know, year, I look at that
Speaker 1: Hollywood reporter everybody and like, who is that? It's yeah,
Speaker 1: those type of things are just so uh nice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like it's so goddamn nice and it feels so good.
Speaker 1: But also the second you like get wrapped up in
Speaker 1: it in any way, fucked right. Right, It's what Amy says,
Speaker 1: and and yes, please write where she's like you want them.
Speaker 1: It's the pudding. She's like I don't want favorite book,
Speaker 1: I don't want putting in, and then you want yeah,
Speaker 1: right right, and you feel bad about it, and then
Speaker 1: you're like, wait, hold on, I'm supposed to be one
Speaker 1: of the cool people who doesn't care about the ship
Speaker 1: and knows that it's like an industry, right, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. So it's like, but you can't help it,
Speaker 1: I know. Well when people start saying it or telling
Speaker 1: you or whatever, then you're like, but but I think
Speaker 1: you just gotta think. Ted Danson said some something cool
Speaker 1: what was that cooling onto, which is like, you don't
Speaker 1: want to win? Like I'm going to paraphrase, but he
Speaker 1: was basically like, you want to be the underdog so
Speaker 1: that people say they should have been nominated and they
Speaker 1: should have won. You don't want to win, and then
Speaker 1: have them say why didn't they win? Want you want
Speaker 1: to be in the Elizabeth Moss position where you lose
Speaker 1: every time, and therefore then when you win, it's like
Speaker 1: finally an event and everyone stands, yeah, right. You don't
Speaker 1: want to be the person who wins, and everyone's like, okay,
Speaker 1: I guess, so you want to be the person that
Speaker 1: they leave to their goddamn that's actually a real culture
Speaker 1: number seventy nine. You want to be the person that
Speaker 1: they damn feet. Yes, that is so true. Maybe all
Speaker 1: maybe all maybe we all maybe all win an Emmy.
Speaker 1: And speaking of winning an Emmy, we're talking to the
Speaker 1: antagonist of an Emmy for Megan. Now, forget your Emmy chances.
Speaker 1: This is someone who really has a shot at the goal. Now,
Speaker 1: tell us about what it was like to be on
Speaker 1: set with Megan, and um, how are you feeling about
Speaker 1: her chances going forward? And what's the energy life. It's
Speaker 1: really because it's like I, you know, we were friends
Speaker 1: and I was happy, and then I murdered her. It's
Speaker 1: like this weird thing of like I still remember what
Speaker 1: it was like to be her friend and for her,
Speaker 1: but then also I'm like, but then I think to
Speaker 1: that sort of like animal instinct of like murdering her
Speaker 1: because she had to go at that point. Of course,
Speaker 1: but we have to mention it's fiction. It's outstanding short
Speaker 1: from digital comedy or drama has to be fictionalized, has
Speaker 1: to be heavily scripted. Your episode was heavily scripted. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: such good writing in the episode. M We have a
Speaker 1: favorite line I did improvise one line? Yes, our favorite
Speaker 1: is Um did you like the script? Yes, yes, the
Speaker 1: way you say yes, period, even even we re wanted
Speaker 1: five times. Um, you say it was like reading Shakespeare.
Speaker 1: Megan goes, Oh my god, that is the such that
Speaker 1: is the biggest compliment. You think Shakespeare is good? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it was pretty good. You guys were killing
Speaker 1: It was favorite day, the funniest, so cute. We didn't
Speaker 1: know her from before we have recorded with her and
Speaker 1: now best, best, so lovely. What a freak we met
Speaker 1: at We met the year I moved here because Jen
Speaker 1: Statsy are mute. Friends invited Basically, I don't mean to
Speaker 1: stay invited. She had She said, who wants to go
Speaker 1: see Beyonce? And this is years ago when it was
Speaker 1: jay Z and Beyonce the first time? First, the first time,
Speaker 1: but at some point yeah, And so we met at
Speaker 1: a Beyonce concert, which is like a fun origin story story.
Speaker 1: And then I got weirdly drunk and I fell down
Speaker 1: after the concert. I don't like getting drunk to the
Speaker 1: point of falling down. But we're snuck in a flask
Speaker 1: of vodka, which is which is a move at a concert,
Speaker 1: because what do we pay for that, tell herself that
Speaker 1: met life we paid like you're gonna pay twenty It
Speaker 1: was it's a joke. But also you gotta suck it down.
Speaker 1: You gotta stack it down. At that concert, I had
Speaker 1: to be drunk to watch her parade out. But I'd
Speaker 1: be like, she's my best friend. It's like, no, she's
Speaker 1: your prop. You literally just want us to think you
Speaker 1: have a diverse group of friends. But honey, I don't
Speaker 1: think she better be careful. Pity so you fell down.
Speaker 1: H Yeah, yeah, I felt that, but it was okay.
Speaker 1: It was like it was. It wasn't like, oh god,
Speaker 1: dark serious. It was more like, oh wow, yeah it
Speaker 1: was so. Megan thought it was really fun. Megan got
Speaker 1: a migraine right after the show. It was a wild night.
Speaker 1: Show was also there, so it was it was Sarah Schneider,
Speaker 1: Jenn Statsky, Megan Amram and me. We had a great
Speaker 1: I know half the group so well to half of
Speaker 1: the group are my best friends and the other two
Speaker 1: I don't know. But the fact that they're such good
Speaker 1: friends with you makes me feel like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: I could hit it off. Jenn and Sarah. You would
Speaker 1: love gang coming for you. A girl I'll pick you up.
Speaker 1: Can I tell you my mortifying gen story. She's my wife,
Speaker 1: She's she's your wife. I acted a damn fool in
Speaker 1: front of her. This is two twelve, the Winter twelve
Speaker 1: Danger Box, my improv group and in my year went
Speaker 1: down to d C, I think with Hammer Cats Um
Speaker 1: and then she was there with Travis group, Travis Hellwicks group,
Speaker 1: and her husband now husband but they were dating at
Speaker 1: the time. But then the after party was this place
Speaker 1: in some person someone who went to GW's dorm. And
Speaker 1: then I just got really drunk. Oh, I was just
Speaker 1: basically I did. I committed the cardinal sin of being
Speaker 1: a fan, and I just went off. Oh no, I
Speaker 1: hate it. I was like, oh my god, I think
Speaker 1: you're so funny. I mean it was mortifying. No, it's great,
Speaker 1: it's great. I just think I'm just like I can
Speaker 1: never bounce back from that on her. I don't know, bitch.
Speaker 1: This is what happened. She slapped across She slapped me
Speaker 1: across the base. Note is mortifying. There was a foodsball table.
Speaker 1: People were playing foodsball. Travis was with Jen on one
Speaker 1: corner and then like Jen and I like, so we
Speaker 1: made eye contact, and then I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's that's Jens Statsky. She tweeted once. Um one of
Speaker 1: my favorite tweets a quote, Hey does anyone know where
Speaker 1: to get good? Hey? They're Delilah Ringtones attributed a rapist,
Speaker 1: and I think it's funny, so funny. Wait, I want
Speaker 1: to wait. Okay. One of my favorites of hers was Okay, James,
Speaker 1: it's so much better than I'm making it. James Vanderbeek
Speaker 1: walks into a doctor's office and the doctor says, okay,
Speaker 1: let's take a little vander Peek. You understand, but I
Speaker 1: mean truly an artist. And so we made eye contact.
Speaker 1: And then I had a friend I forgot who it was. Wow,
Speaker 1: I whispered to them, and then I literally pointed at
Speaker 1: her from across the table and was no, no, no.
Speaker 1: I wasted like that's jen Sta so fighting on Twitter,
Speaker 1: and then like jen and I shouted across the tables.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, I am such an
Speaker 1: admirer of yours. Hpp is crawling under a skin. Ye
Speaker 1: keep going. I mean, that's that's it. She was. So
Speaker 1: she was so sweet about sweet. I bet it made
Speaker 1: her damn night. It's nice to hear nice things. I know,
Speaker 1: there's like a I know this fan thing. It's always
Speaker 1: a question. It's it's the it's the reason I I
Speaker 1: can't sleep at night when I think about the fact
Speaker 1: that I've taken a picture with Harry Styles. I never
Speaker 1: wanted to do that story, but even still, I was like,
Speaker 1: I know, I don't. It's so hard to do the
Speaker 1: fan thing. But also it's nice to be told you're
Speaker 1: good at the thing you're doing right, So she it's
Speaker 1: all good, Like it's when somebody says they love the
Speaker 1: show like love it's nice. I guess it all depends
Speaker 1: on the context or if the person is a fucking weirdo.
Speaker 1: I just feel like I believe in my heart that
Speaker 1: I was a fucking weird at that. Well, let's let's
Speaker 1: take back the night, take back the night. Well, now
Speaker 1: now she's we've given her lots of free so that
Speaker 1: now everyone can follow her on Twitter at jen Statsky,
Speaker 1: at Jensky. And guess what, we weren't paid a dollar,
Speaker 1: not a dollar, not a press not a dollar. Now
Speaker 1: that we're saying this, how insane was my dad before
Speaker 1: saying that he was a big Oh my god, he
Speaker 1: was so insane. But you're kidding, right, because I mean
Speaker 1: even if he like like what, oh my god, and
Speaker 1: you know he didn't know, he didn't know, he doesn't
Speaker 1: want my ready, he was ready, but he was ready
Speaker 1: to stay ready. Okay, that was really sweet. Actually I
Speaker 1: loved it. They're a legit fan. And here's the thing.
Speaker 1: An Emmy for Megan is going to skyrocket your profile
Speaker 1: this of Me season. And I said, it's going to
Speaker 1: help you in your own category because she was very
Speaker 1: shrewd and didn't give you enough episodes to be considered
Speaker 1: for her series because then there would be trouble. I
Speaker 1: really think she could definitely, I think she thinks she might.
Speaker 1: I don't really know what goes into it, but I'm like,
Speaker 1: did you see the other day when oh, this is
Speaker 1: another thing that I would say before Jonathan van Neesse
Speaker 1: like put on his Instagram sorry who is met? When
Speaker 1: he was driving past. Well, okay, so here's the thing.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. We interviewed him at Vulture and with
Speaker 1: Justin Throw and we had we had a fun time
Speaker 1: with him. But then the other day your Wolf and
Speaker 1: he was coming by and ordinarily like I'd be like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, hi we interviewed you at Vulture Fest,
Speaker 1: but I think we were so like we didn't want
Speaker 1: him to know us as this said nothing, just let
Speaker 1: him walk by. And I don't think he recognized us anyway.
Speaker 1: But the thing is like, he's like, he's someone i'd
Speaker 1: like to be like, yeah, really best friends. But by
Speaker 1: the way, I've known him for years, Yes, you can
Speaker 1: explain that, and best. He had this um web series
Speaker 1: called gay and we clicked and then he was yes,
Speaker 1: but he is the best and he remains the best.
Speaker 1: He's so wonderful and good and fun, and you guys
Speaker 1: would get along. I feel that we would style the
Speaker 1: way he approached us just so so he was like hello,
Speaker 1: but like it was just a thing where we were like, oh,
Speaker 1: we're not going to reintroduce ourselves like this, And so
Speaker 1: I would like to meet him sitting in the chair
Speaker 1: you're sitting in right now as up here, Yes exactly.
Speaker 1: He I also liked when he so he it was
Speaker 1: a little shady, right, He's like, who is Megan? But
Speaker 1: thenogy or not even apology. His next Instagram story was like, Megan,
Speaker 1: your fans love you and then he's like whatever it was.
Speaker 1: It was really cute. It was like it was like,
Speaker 1: you know, it was Patrick Harris moment. It was so
Speaker 1: much better. It was he really was truly like he
Speaker 1: was curious. Yeah, he was getting curious, getting curious. Have
Speaker 1: you been on the pod getting curious? What would I even?
Speaker 1: What would I get curious about? About? What? What could
Speaker 1: I possibly teach? I'm okay, here's you. Wake up, You
Speaker 1: hop in the shower, comous, you come to set, You
Speaker 1: sit there with your moisturized face ready to be made up,
Speaker 1: and you go over your life. Okay, here's the here's
Speaker 1: the question I have. I also want to talk about Barry.
Speaker 1: Good Place, amazing environment, Barry. No, there's no tea. It's
Speaker 1: so fucking dumb. It is so dumb. They are they
Speaker 1: are the highlights of my life. It was at I
Speaker 1: actually shot season two of Good Place and season one
Speaker 1: of Barry at the same wo right after I think,
Speaker 1: ye few months, which was bonkers as you can imagine,
Speaker 1: and leading up to it, I was like, well, I've
Speaker 1: already I mean, I don't think. I was like, well,
Speaker 1: I guess I was about to say, how am I
Speaker 1: going to like Barry as much as the Good Place?
Speaker 1: I wasn't even thinking because experience. And then it was
Speaker 1: so equally blessed slash you put blessed in my mouth, don't,
Speaker 1: don't put so I would. It just was like a
Speaker 1: dream team to dream teams for different reasons, like the
Speaker 1: way the acting class in Barry fell in love with
Speaker 1: each other. We wouldn't we'd be wrapped and we would
Speaker 1: stay for two hours in the makeup room just like
Speaker 1: screaming and laughing and singing. It was very summer Camp.
Speaker 1: And then like there's different vibes, but I can't there,
Speaker 1: I truly if you put a gun to my head
Speaker 1: and please don't, I think that's a good idea. I
Speaker 1: couldn't pick what I like better. They are so fun
Speaker 1: and so just that the environment isn't incredible and um,
Speaker 1: to work with man like Ted Danson and to work
Speaker 1: with a man like Henry, it's like the pudding or whatever,
Speaker 1: you're true or false. If Barry felt like summer Camp
Speaker 1: is the good place, the best school, yes, yes, it's
Speaker 1: like maybe like um, you know, I don't want to
Speaker 1: say theater school because theater school can be having connotation,
Speaker 1: but it's like the yeah you're you're the university that
Speaker 1: you're so yeah you you you wanted to go to
Speaker 1: this university and you got into this university. From from
Speaker 1: your Instagram, it looks like you knew everyone on the
Speaker 1: cast of Barry before. The weird thing is is that
Speaker 1: we so okay, do you like Timeline stuff that I
Speaker 1: love Timeline. So before the pod started recording today, we
Speaker 1: were talking about booking. But we're talking about and I
Speaker 1: was saying that I never ever booked jobs. This is true, Okay,
Speaker 1: I never booked joy but I I auditioned constantly or
Speaker 1: as much as my I can get, but I never booked.
Speaker 1: I when I got the good place, I got buried
Speaker 1: within the same month, I know what a month. So
Speaker 1: so that seems like, um, like I book all the time.
Speaker 1: You understand what And I'm also not twenty one. I'm deep.
Speaker 1: I'm deep, deep much more, much more, deep, much more
Speaker 1: and um and uh so so so so I have.
Speaker 1: So that's how long I've known known the Verry cast.
Speaker 1: We did read throughs immediately we Henry taught the acting
Speaker 1: class and like an to three hour long acting class
Speaker 1: on the day we all met. Can you imagine, yes,
Speaker 1: improv acting everything like Henry himself got it. That was
Speaker 1: like it really I'm telling it was summer camp. It
Speaker 1: was like Bill and alec Berg tried to just I
Speaker 1: don't know why or how they knew to do this,
Speaker 1: but they were like they just made us love each
Speaker 1: other instantly there. I mean they yeah, they are really
Speaker 1: into like the cast dynamic and us loving each other
Speaker 1: and it and it works. That's and that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Like I watched like the Instagram stories that you guys
Speaker 1: post because I think I'm I'm also Instagram friends with
Speaker 1: writer and we've never we've never met, but I know
Speaker 1: I love the energy. I love the energy. Um. But
Speaker 1: it seems like you guys all know each other in
Speaker 1: a real way. Like I was like, oh, those are
Speaker 1: people that all knew each other beforehand. That's like that's
Speaker 1: carried onto it's not beforehand. Other than I nave Kirby
Speaker 1: just from UCB, but not that well at all. She
Speaker 1: is amazing. She is she is Oh my god, she
Speaker 1: makes me emotional. I love her. So we got to
Speaker 1: get her on the can I well, can I quickly
Speaker 1: say what she told me last night? So spoiler alert, um.
Speaker 1: I as as a way to exemplify what a trouball
Speaker 1: draw was, I did my I don't think Sonny. I
Speaker 1: couldn't believe I was thinking about her when you yes,
Speaker 1: and I was saying about her too. I even name
Speaker 1: dropped her on mind. Um but but Matt drew Sandra
Speaker 1: for me, and I said that was going to be
Speaker 1: a good exact and I was all over the place
Speaker 1: just like, couldn't find something watch onto But um so, anyway,
Speaker 1: did my thing on, did my thing on Sandraw. But
Speaker 1: then Kirby stops after after the show and she goes
Speaker 1: by when I need to tell you this, I need.
Speaker 1: I knew I had to tell you this before the show,
Speaker 1: but the fact that you did your thing on Sandra
Speaker 1: was crazy. I have to tell you that. She pushed
Speaker 1: so hard for my part to not be another like
Speaker 1: white British actress great, and she was like and like
Speaker 1: like like the direct like the director, and everyone was like, Sandra,
Speaker 1: we need to move on, we need to start shooting.
Speaker 1: We can't set this the schedule behind and Sandra was like, no,
Speaker 1: keep auditioning, keep auditioning the Brits in l A. I
Speaker 1: need to see every we need to see everybody, like
Speaker 1: we need to see everyone. And by the way, who
Speaker 1: could be better in that role than Kirby. Have you
Speaker 1: I've seen so I'm waiting. I know what's done now
Speaker 1: and I want to bench it. But I've watched its
Speaker 1: affect Jason. Hi, Jason, right, he never listen Jason worked
Speaker 1: or whatever. Jason worked on it. No, no, no, no no,
Speaker 1: he would ever when we were watching it, he would
Speaker 1: always rewind her scenes. And he's a bit about acting, yes,
Speaker 1: but he was like, oh my god, watch what Kirby
Speaker 1: does in this scene. Anyway, I love Kirby to death.
Speaker 1: I fucking love her. I uh and I have a
Speaker 1: big um scoop and t and everything for you guys.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Only because it's a spoiler and they
Speaker 1: will find out. Okay, yes, yes, yes, will they find out.
Speaker 1: They will. They'll just be living in pop culture, bitch.
Speaker 1: Really quickly. Have to go back and reference a joke
Speaker 1: that Darcy made earlier that I think is truly iconic. Um,
Speaker 1: if you were, if you were to put a gun
Speaker 1: into my head and please did, Yeah, I did, improviser.
Speaker 1: That's world building that. Yeah, you got to fill it out,
Speaker 1: fill it out. But he's an improviser, you guys. I
Speaker 1: really feel very happy that you guys think that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you really are, because honestly, for so many years of
Speaker 1: my life I put so much importance on that, and
Speaker 1: I felt so uncool that I wasn't able to improvise,
Speaker 1: like being in comedy and not being able to do
Speaker 1: improv and at the time like not being able to
Speaker 1: do stand up at all. I was just sketch. I
Speaker 1: was like, I feel like a like a wolf and
Speaker 1: sheep's clothing. I totally understand when your skills are not
Speaker 1: put in the box. Go back and listen to your
Speaker 1: episode with Patty the second one second something, and I
Speaker 1: think this is crazy. I'm gonna miss this. I listened
Speaker 1: to that episode three times. It is the fucking funniest thing.
Speaker 1: She kills me. Yeah, I so you know how I
Speaker 1: said Jason doesn't listen to podcast and he really doesn't,
Speaker 1: or he doesn't listen to comedy podcast, no shade to
Speaker 1: any of these. You need a break sometimes, I think,
Speaker 1: when it's your life, you need a break. But he
Speaker 1: um um. I made him listen to the tour story,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, out of context. I made him listen
Speaker 1: to the whole thing, and he was He was definitely
Speaker 1: into it. I think she's the next Sarah Silverman, like
Speaker 1: that level. Yeah, I think that big, that level, that
Speaker 1: new that crash, the set that she did clusterfust Joe
Speaker 1: Kim Booster hosted a show called The Joy Fun Club,
Speaker 1: and it's it's sometimes it's it's frustrating to have a
Speaker 1: hot friend. It's frustrating to have like especially someone that's
Speaker 1: like exorbitantly hot and like it seems effortlessly hot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe not, I don't know, but I mean for goddamn
Speaker 1: shoulders in those tanktops. Then last night last night, he
Speaker 1: was like, I'm having a breakdown. I don't think I
Speaker 1: look good tonight. I'm like, bitch, where you talking? I
Speaker 1: have an I have acne. I have an acne. I
Speaker 1: have an acne. He was being a dumb bitch. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So she um like essentially just did crowd work for
Speaker 1: eight minutes. It's like her dumb character and like I
Speaker 1: was just like this is something that I could watch for. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's endless. She she is cultured. I love her. Have
Speaker 1: you met her in person? Yes? And we met doing
Speaker 1: um this other podcast called um oh Way Positive America.
Speaker 1: But it's not that Yeah out that breath, I love
Speaker 1: love it early, but we I she was a guest
Speaker 1: and I was doing like a character, so to speak,
Speaker 1: and I we it was one of those I like
Speaker 1: the meetings where you kind of come in like like that,
Speaker 1: and then we kind of quickly became like you know,
Speaker 1: d M friends tast friends. When you texted all of
Speaker 1: us and said I listened to the app, I thought, oh,
Speaker 1: they must be friends, right what we are? You have
Speaker 1: a vibe of Whenever I see you with your chemistry
Speaker 1: with your people around you, I think, oh, they must
Speaker 1: be friends. I'll tell you what I like, what I like,
Speaker 1: and when I like them, like them, and when I
Speaker 1: don't like them, I don't want to see him ever
Speaker 1: agaver again, but I'll act like I like him. I
Speaker 1: like to be in charge of I like to be
Speaker 1: in charge of that. Do you think you're good at
Speaker 1: doing that? I think it's a skill I have, and
Speaker 1: such a good skill you guys. When I was a
Speaker 1: little kid, I asked my dad one time. I said
Speaker 1: to my dad, as he was putting me to bed,
Speaker 1: do you think it's okay if I say I love myself?
Speaker 1: What a little cocky You figured it out well before
Speaker 1: the rest of us. Wow, If you can't love yourself
Speaker 1: in the hell, you're gonna love somebody else. But the
Speaker 1: reason I say that is just because what I said
Speaker 1: was really cocky. Sometimes I have a little bit it wasn't.
Speaker 1: My dad raised me to be very cocky and and
Speaker 1: think that that I am better than people. What's your
Speaker 1: dad's name? Dennis and William Mustafa, Eric and Dennis Erican,
Speaker 1: God bless you for you? Can I tell you what
Speaker 1: I'm singing inside my head? What you know the RuPaul's song?
Speaker 1: I am American American? If you were a little you
Speaker 1: could have sang and Eric and Erican and I don't.
Speaker 1: But I really I you're only gonna get that from us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's the Times Squares stomping song. I would say, Oh,
Speaker 1: my Time Squares stomping song is hair, my Lady Gaga,
Speaker 1: that's a good one. It's great. Mine is usually waiting
Speaker 1: for life to begin from once on this island. And
Speaker 1: that is not a joke. And it's also not like
Speaker 1: a fierce song. It's like musical theater. But does hair?
Speaker 1: Hair starts clumping right? I don't know hair? Oh you mean,
Speaker 1: lady gavea hair? It starts with like like Clarence Clemming.
Speaker 1: That's the course I was I'm sorry. I did the
Speaker 1: instrumental where it's like the Clarence Clem. You know what,
Speaker 1: I think her her best song for stomping is and
Speaker 1: I think that underrated song is rude shoot hurts. Yes,
Speaker 1: that is a great God those first three years, it
Speaker 1: was Our Pup three that was the third album, right,
Speaker 1: So no, I mean I don't I don't even I
Speaker 1: know Our pap was sort of like underwhelming to most people.
Speaker 1: I don't even hate it. I just it didn't grab me.
Speaker 1: But it's you know it now, it's this thing is
Speaker 1: happening where it's aging. Well, A couple of my faves
Speaker 1: would be, I mean, applause, kills life, gipsy ships. Also,
Speaker 1: I will say Donna Tella, yes as fashion venus. I
Speaker 1: don't love g u Y, but at the time I
Speaker 1: didn't like it. Now I think I like it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I do think it's aging. Well, I totally agree. But
Speaker 1: those first two point five or whatever you one top
Speaker 1: to bottom bottom and then and then then Joe and
Speaker 1: what do we think Stars Born trailer. I got to
Speaker 1: watch it a million more times. I've only watched it twice,
Speaker 1: but I mean I'm thrilled when I when it came out.
Speaker 1: I think I caught it right when it came out
Speaker 1: and I just cut and paste, like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: watched this to like ten people. Yeah yeah, No, I like,
Speaker 1: I truly move, but it's going to be I don't,
Speaker 1: I really really really in my in my old age,
Speaker 1: don't like getting over excited for movies because we're so
Speaker 1: often disappointed. But with this one, I really am like
Speaker 1: it's going to be my favorite. No, I'm gonna will
Speaker 1: it to my movie, even if it's doesn't exactly have that.
Speaker 1: I just feel like there's nothing more I love than
Speaker 1: And also I grew up with the movie Funny Girl,
Speaker 1: so I think that's an association with that movie. But
Speaker 1: I love like a story where you see like a
Speaker 1: transformation over time and like it looks like it's going
Speaker 1: to be very that, Like it's going to start out
Speaker 1: with her looking like quote unquote younger and like um
Speaker 1: in her one thing, and then she transforms into someone else,
Speaker 1: and then she has to look back on her life
Speaker 1: and said, what have I become? I need I need it.
Speaker 1: You know, if it's not our favorite movie, do go
Speaker 1: ahead and put that gun into my head? Oh all
Speaker 1: the way home and then get it on the and
Speaker 1: then how you do that so much easier than I
Speaker 1: will jump in and say, guys, no, I don't just
Speaker 1: take care of you that don't die. Oh no, bang
Speaker 1: bang into the room. But I'm going to bang. Okay,
Speaker 1: I think it's time. So we actually said before in
Speaker 1: the text thread that you guys weren't privy to last
Speaker 1: culture racist listeners, that we weren't. Because you guys aren't
Speaker 1: on the text thread, are they not? We should put
Speaker 1: the mind I think it would get kind of crazy. Um,
Speaker 1: we are going to do all trouball, I don't think so,
Speaker 1: honey today, And just to put just to like preface,
Speaker 1: I guess I am terrified of the Trouball. I didn't
Speaker 1: want I didn't even consider doing the trouball because I'm
Speaker 1: not a good ranter and I'm not. But meanwhile, you're
Speaker 1: a good improviser and that's and that's why I felt
Speaker 1: that you were a contender to do the Troullball because
Speaker 1: you have the improv Okay, well let's maybe it'll work out.
Speaker 1: But also but I'm a I'm a word stumbler. I'm
Speaker 1: a can't get the thoughts out. That's what UM cut
Speaker 1: this part out what was his name, Louis Okay, when
Speaker 1: he when he troubled, don't you know, have to put
Speaker 1: it out? But I do, actually do No, don't do it.
Speaker 1: Just text him and tell him I said it, and
Speaker 1: tell him the minute and second so that he can
Speaker 1: just really feel out. I mean, now we can't cut
Speaker 1: it out because it's a great comedic moment. I don't
Speaker 1: know that he listens to them, but also busy. It
Speaker 1: almost doesn't matter because he was so I mean, I
Speaker 1: have already complemented him. He listen, it's not positive for
Speaker 1: the podcast. Yeah, but when HP is laughing, look at
Speaker 1: him chuckling when he troubled, and it sounded like he
Speaker 1: had said it a million times. It was like, that
Speaker 1: is a skill that I do not have. Babe. You're
Speaker 1: preaching of the choir. We are, and we're always I think, honestly,
Speaker 1: this school, I would say, we're supposed to be like
Speaker 1: the connoisseurs. So honey, everyone's I was like, oh, I
Speaker 1: guess they must do the best. I would. I would
Speaker 1: rank myself last night, like I'm going to put myself
Speaker 1: at like thirty nine. Come on, yeah, I was like
Speaker 1: a good four. Now because you broke your own rule.
Speaker 1: You you you you you literally did what you said
Speaker 1: you weren't gonna do. I actually, which is twist twist,
Speaker 1: like why did you leave me? Because you're so good there?
Speaker 1: But I couldn't believe we pulled that off. I didn't
Speaker 1: blame it. What are you gonna do? Talk about Sandra
Speaker 1: that you guys are going to have a lavish lunch. Um.
Speaker 1: But I was a little disappointed in mind. But that's
Speaker 1: only because I had prepared another one and prepared it,
Speaker 1: but then Iron Madison the Third did it on so
Speaker 1: I just decided to make it part of my interest.
Speaker 1: I could be longer and bitchier. It's time for the
Speaker 1: ecose you do. It's time for okay, so how are
Speaker 1: you gonna do this? Because you don't have an actual bull.
Speaker 1: So here's what I think we should do clockwise and
Speaker 1: I'll look through the list and I'll pick one. O wait,
Speaker 1: so that you pick one for me, I'm gonna pick
Speaker 1: for you. You You pick one for Darcy Darcy pid, one
Speaker 1: for okay bang bang okay, but one yang your I
Speaker 1: don't think so, honey, trollaboll. Topic is Ellen page and
Speaker 1: your time starts now. I don't think so. Honey, Ellen Page,
Speaker 1: how dare you come out of the closet after you peak?
Speaker 1: That is so feckless and Craven, I can't believe you would.
Speaker 1: The timing is a little suspicious, Honey, Ellen Ellen, I
Speaker 1: don't think so, Honey. You you know, come storming into
Speaker 1: this scene. That's textbook, you know, getting the nomination a
Speaker 1: little too early, don't, wouldn't you say? But I did
Speaker 1: love her in juno. But then but then she followed
Speaker 1: up with what that that roller that roller Derby movie,
Speaker 1: Hwip Berry More whipp It Drew Barry murchiroc. And I
Speaker 1: actually support it fully, but Ellen Page that the timing
Speaker 1: of the of the coming out is a little suspicious.
Speaker 1: We could have we needed you before marriage equality, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I think she came out after,
Speaker 1: but we needed you before. But you know what I think,
Speaker 1: I think, come, I truly love you, But I think
Speaker 1: that my my one little little um little spot, my
Speaker 1: little no no coming out. And that's one minute. I
Speaker 1: do agree that it was suspect, but everybody comes out
Speaker 1: in their own and I don't mean I only lift
Speaker 1: her up and I don't shame your I don't think
Speaker 1: so honey, because thank you. You know we're there's literally
Speaker 1: no shame. No, there's actually no shame. There's actually no shame.
Speaker 1: To see there's one on this that's screaming at me,
Speaker 1: and it's just like, but it's so it's so on
Speaker 1: the nose. But Darcy would have so much fun with
Speaker 1: it and like not have to worry about saying something.
Speaker 1: I think we can go for. I think, okay, than
Speaker 1: is it gonna be? Is it gonna be too much? Okay,
Speaker 1: Darcy cardon your trouble. I don't think so, honey. Is
Speaker 1: Kristen bow okay? I don't think so, honey, Kristen Bell.
Speaker 1: Are you think you can have this fucking perfect empire?
Speaker 1: You do it all. You make us look like ship.
Speaker 1: You come to set with your lines memorized. You have
Speaker 1: two perfect children, you have a loving husband, you have
Speaker 1: new Regina, you have this bar saves lives, which is
Speaker 1: a great and meanwhile, I have a goddamn dog and
Speaker 1: I live in a two bedroom apartment. You make me
Speaker 1: look like a fucking and then you have the nerve
Speaker 1: to be one of my best friends. You bitch, Kristen Bell.
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey. I love you, I will
Speaker 1: for you're both broke in the room. We did for me.
Speaker 1: I don't even know what it is. They're getting dragged.
Speaker 1: That is so funny. I definitely thought Kristen was going
Speaker 1: to come up last night and I was gonna I
Speaker 1: had her. I did, Okay, so you're the writer, A
Speaker 1: writer or star of the show would pull her. Oh,
Speaker 1: actually I have one. I have a great Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: you'r um your topic. Wait your I don't think so, honey,
Speaker 1: is as I call it, the fabulous Mrs Mazie, but
Speaker 1: it's actually called the Marvelous Mrs Mazel last start. Now,
Speaker 1: I don't think so, honey, marvelous Mrs Mazel. I am
Speaker 1: friends with Rachel brother the hand. But guess what, I
Speaker 1: still didn't even get through the whole first season. Honey.
Speaker 1: It wasn't because of the quality. Is because I got busy.
Speaker 1: I thought it was a very good show. No I'm not,
Speaker 1: but I feel that, um, oh my god, it's so
Speaker 1: well done that makes other shows because bad, Honey, you
Speaker 1: are not allowing other shows to show. I will say this,
Speaker 1: this is real, Like, is it the funniest show out there? Like?
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the funniest shout there. So when
Speaker 1: it wins comedies, it's like kind of like, I don't
Speaker 1: think so honey, or like like awards for comedies. I
Speaker 1: think it's like that gray area thing. So I don't
Speaker 1: think so Honey, it's being considered like a comedy. It's
Speaker 1: not like a laugh out laugh funny. It's so we
Speaker 1: get that she's good at stand up, and yes the
Speaker 1: jokes are funny, but it's like, you know, it's not
Speaker 1: a comedy comedy, but I do love a second and
Speaker 1: I think that you will win the in real way
Speaker 1: for that. M I don't think so Honey Awards shows
Speaker 1: right now, in this moment that are that are putting there.
Speaker 1: We need one more like category. I feel like also
Speaker 1: comedy or something. Honestly, I think they should split it
Speaker 1: up into just half hour an hour because that makes
Speaker 1: more sense of me, right because right now it's like
Speaker 1: you have like like I don't know, like like, for example,
Speaker 1: a little while they're like Glee was competing with stuff
Speaker 1: like thirty Rocks, and I was these feel First of all,
Speaker 1: Glee feels like a light drama because it's an hour
Speaker 1: long and you have to have dramatic elements. Yeah, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I guess I just think that the
Speaker 1: way you write an hour long show is similar across
Speaker 1: all platforms, and also you have to do kind of
Speaker 1: similar things, Like I think that like our long, she
Speaker 1: could be with hour long than half hours half hours,
Speaker 1: because that's just it makes more sense to screen time
Speaker 1: is the same. You get a lot more opportunity to
Speaker 1: do more TV show Awards shows right now are a
Speaker 1: little bit Yeah. I think what Rachel bras Inhan does
Speaker 1: on Marvelous Mrs Masil is different than what like what
Speaker 1: Alison Janny does. Both are great exactly against each other's
Speaker 1: like kind of google it's weird. I think, like, I
Speaker 1: just think that should be considered for your consideration. And
Speaker 1: some of the things that like, let's say like a
Speaker 1: Betty Gilpin does on Glow is like she's fucking hilarious,
Speaker 1: but I mean she's like, but it's a traumatic performance
Speaker 1: doing dramat she's she's out of this world. Yeah, she's amazing, beautiful, stunning.
Speaker 1: Can I end on another fan street? But this is
Speaker 1: actually something I'm not ashamed of. UM was was it
Speaker 1: a table reader? But in this movie that she's in,
Speaker 1: UM that I and I have. I have a bit
Speaker 1: part of a part of his boyfriend and it's the
Speaker 1: most perfect thing in the world. Um that I play
Speaker 1: his significant Um, he's a good kisser. But um, but
Speaker 1: Betty Gilbin was there and like this is right as
Speaker 1: Glow came out and like she had red hair and
Speaker 1: she looked great and it was just very casual. So
Speaker 1: you need to brought me in and introduced me to her.
Speaker 1: And I was like, hi, um, you're fantastic on Glow
Speaker 1: and You're like you are you are so so good
Speaker 1: and she was just very sweet. And that is a
Speaker 1: fan that is a sort of pseudo fan interaction that
Speaker 1: I'm okay with. And also in that movie and Bowen
Speaker 1: said that he is that she is more beautiful in person.
Speaker 1: It's true. I heard. Okay, I have another coff off
Speaker 1: the air, Off the air. Okay, I'm so sorry anyway,
Speaker 1: but that's how we ended. I have a question for
Speaker 1: you off here. Okay, great, we're gonna go there much
Speaker 1: by um No, but Betty iconic iconic, Yeah, she really is.
Speaker 1: Um this episode, I have a question for you guys.

Speaker 1: be really concise, Kelly Clarkson Disney World Survival. Yes, okay, great,
