Speaker 5: weekend and went to a four day desert rave.
Speaker 4: Oh you know standards, you know, Chris of electronic music
Speaker 4: and camping.
Speaker 5: I had so much fun. I seriously went. I was
Speaker 5: doing stand up in the comedy venue at this electronic
Speaker 5: music festival, and I was I I'm not a huge
Speaker 5: fan of DJ type music, or I thought I wasn't.
Speaker 2: Until those drugs kicked in and then boom.
Speaker 5: You do make a valid point, but it was just
Speaker 5: the positive.
Speaker 1: Everyone was in a good mood.
Speaker 5: It was like, I'm rarely if you grow up going
Speaker 5: to rock, punk, rock and metal shows, people aren't like
Speaker 5: spreading love with their.
Speaker 2: No, well it's a different agenda.
Speaker 5: And there was a lake, so I was able to
Speaker 5: bring a bar of soap and wash myself off in
Speaker 5: a lake.
Speaker 3: So it was really and were you wearing a barrel
Speaker 3: the whole weekend or what kind of lifestyle is?
Speaker 5: Yeah, but a small one around my neck like a
Speaker 5: Saint Bernard.
Speaker 3: To rescue other tweakers as they freaked out on exactly.
Speaker 5: I would just bark at the cops. And there were
Speaker 5: police there, people just doing.
Speaker 1: Light like.
Speaker 5: It wasn't a rowdy powder festival. It was like I iri.
Speaker 5: Everyone was very iri.
Speaker 2: It was one pill six hours before type of.
Speaker 5: And I loved the music. It was I did not
Speaker 5: know I'd enjoy it so much, But.
Speaker 2: There are cops you love the music I did.
Speaker 1: I gave the.
Speaker 2: Hook on one of those songs that you heard this weekend.
Speaker 1: What's that?
Speaker 3: I'm being like a music astle is like name one
Speaker 3: song off the where it's like name how the tune
Speaker 3: of any song the entire weekend? Right?
Speaker 1: I don't know why.
Speaker 5: My whole life, I've been offended by music that doesn't
Speaker 5: have lyrics or.
Speaker 2: Something or beginnings or ends.
Speaker 5: Right, there is no beginning or end. They are all
Speaker 5: linked together.
Speaker 4: There's it's just peaks and valleys within. And I loved it.
Speaker 5: And there was there was cops that were all very
Speaker 5: typical mustache share of people, and I.
Speaker 1: Eavesdropped as I walked past.
Speaker 5: Them, and they were just like, this is actually just
Speaker 5: everyone's in a good mood. And the other cop was like, yeah,
Speaker 5: this is actually pretty cool. And one of them was like,
Speaker 5: bumping his head, that's something I needed to say.
Speaker 1: Former Then the.
Speaker 3: First one said, I feel like I don't want to
Speaker 3: kill people at basic traffic stops anymore. Could this be
Speaker 3: the solution edm this whole time has been the hiding
Speaker 3: in plain sight solution for police silence.
Speaker 5: I felt like they were all confronted in that sweet way.
Speaker 3: But I meanwhile, you're not wearing a shirt and you
Speaker 3: have daisies painted on your chest.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I bought animal ears. What is happening?
Speaker 5: Because I brought regular clothes and I'm like, oh, I'm
Speaker 5: supposed to dress like an animal.
Speaker 1: It was just adults playing like kids. So I got these.
Speaker 5: Fuzzy animal ears and I wired them all week and
Speaker 5: I was not gonna let you know about that.
Speaker 2: Sorry, what ate you might?
Speaker 3: I mean, please, You've just given me the gift of
Speaker 3: a lifetime. What animal may I ask? There's so many?
Speaker 5: It was I guess a zebra bucket hat with cow ears,
Speaker 5: so kind of a hybrid.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, hybrid within that hat.
Speaker 5: Yeah, both were black and white, so I just kind
Speaker 5: of morphed those animals.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it was. It was terrific. I just had
Speaker 1: a good time.
Speaker 5: I'm still feeling great ire vibes.
Speaker 3: Did you I'm sorry because we have to introduce our
Speaker 3: guests forever and we will absolutely get her take.
Speaker 2: But can I just ask super quick, yes?
Speaker 3: Did you participate in the moment where a DJ played
Speaker 3: a song and it was like repeating intense beats right
Speaker 3: until he brings it up to the point and then
Speaker 3: there's a silence and then and then he.
Speaker 2: Drops that beat and everyone goes berserk.
Speaker 1: I dyes.
Speaker 5: That is when I would woo and start dancing and
Speaker 5: hug the person next to me, a stranger that was
Speaker 5: in all vinyl and on stilts. There was a lot
Speaker 5: of industrial I loved it. I was hugging people.
Speaker 3: I mean you were knocking people off their stilts thinking
Speaker 3: you were giving love and actually killing some circus performers, but.
Speaker 5: They would have said thank you. That was the kind
Speaker 5: of vibe. It was downright therapeutic. I just feel worried
Speaker 5: for all that there were ground squirrels there. I couldn't
Speaker 5: stop the whole field. It was a giant campground with
Speaker 5: a lake, but in the desert, but there was little holes.
Speaker 5: I thought I was going to roll my ankle in
Speaker 5: one of these gopher holes, but they were little squirrels.
Speaker 5: So it's been serene and silent there for years, and
Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, this base and human like
Speaker 5: thousands of humans and base pent training the ground. They
Speaker 5: had to be freaking out, yes, in like, I was
Speaker 5: a little worried that they were just huddled and shaking,
Speaker 5: But I did like to think there was like one
Speaker 5: gopher that was like the one from Caddy Shack that
Speaker 5: was like above ground, wearing sunglasses, totally into it. Was
Speaker 5: like yeah, man, yeah you guys got it, Get over it,
Speaker 5: get up here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, below ground.
Speaker 3: It was like the beginning of watership down or I
Speaker 3: guess the middle of watership down like total animal trauma.
Speaker 3: But then above ground, if you could just get up there. Yeah,
Speaker 3: great stuff was happening.
Speaker 1: For the fourth day. There was squirrels everywhere that were like,
Speaker 1: it's not that.
Speaker 3: Bad, just tapping your arm for drugs. Okay, okay, let's seario.
Speaker 1: I had to tell you. I love why. I'm in
Speaker 1: a good mood.
Speaker 3: I'm so happy, I love this is what we need.
Speaker 2: These are the uplift stories that we need right now.
Speaker 5: I was nervous to tell you for some reason, I'm
Speaker 5: a braver now.
Speaker 2: It's hard. It's hard to come out of the clubs.
Speaker 5: It is my whole life. I refuse to go to
Speaker 5: a field and have fun. Look at me now, but
Speaker 5: be a true believer. This is just like you and golf,
Speaker 5: but just a little more drugs. Yea half a teaspoon more.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: Our guest today is one of the great stand up
Speaker 3: comics of our time.
Speaker 4: She plays clubs and colleges all over, so many colleges,
Speaker 4: and these.
Speaker 2: Clubs please welcome Alison Levey.
Speaker 6: Yay, Oh my god, this is I'm I'm so full
Speaker 6: of questions already.
Speaker 3: Already they shoot like five at Chris, right, now, what
Speaker 3: do you got?
Speaker 2: What did you eat?
Speaker 6: And when that's always my question anytime there's like a
Speaker 6: large all weekend outdoor event, I'm like, what were the
Speaker 6: meal or snack breaks?
Speaker 2: And what were you eating? Was it refrigerated?
Speaker 1: Was like?
Speaker 6: What was happening From a fiber standpoint, like bathrooms? I know,
Speaker 6: like it's just it's all I think about every time
Speaker 6: I see everything.
Speaker 5: Every part of that question, including the fiber, was my
Speaker 5: first concern. On my way up there, I took a
Speaker 5: you know, a COVID test in the parking lot of ARII.
Speaker 5: I went inside and I bought a backpack that is
Speaker 5: a fancy cooler, and I bought way too many groceries.
Speaker 1: I brought sandwich better native.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I and the ice, of course kept melting, so
Speaker 5: I kept buying ten dollars bags of ice up there,
Speaker 5: and it would immediately melt. But I did make all
Speaker 5: my meals in my tent, which I couldn't stand up in,
Speaker 5: so I kind of lay on my new air mattress
Speaker 5: and just make a sandwich on my chest and fell
Speaker 5: asleep with a couple of sandwiches in my hand. But yeah,
Speaker 5: I brought a lot of fruit and sandwiches, and it
Speaker 5: all kind of went bad in my cooler backpack.
Speaker 1: So it was yeah, it was It was difficult. It
Speaker 1: was a vile balance.
Speaker 6: I always want something that's been refrigerated, like from myce neck.
Speaker 2: I like hummus, I like crackers, I like fruit.
Speaker 1: I brought mummus. You know, I brought risk.
Speaker 6: Those things require refrigeration. It feels like in the middle
Speaker 6: of the desert. And also, did you have to buy
Speaker 6: an entire camping setup just for this I or did
Speaker 6: they provide you anything.
Speaker 5: Sort of No, No, they provide you with, uh, nothing
Speaker 5: but vibes.
Speaker 1: I Uh. I had a.
Speaker 5: Tent and I had a backpack, but I kind of
Speaker 5: had to buy everything else. I got a chair that
Speaker 5: I could lounge in. Smart I got a very very
Speaker 5: comfortable mattress that had like memory foam in it and
Speaker 5: you blow into it.
Speaker 1: That was great.
Speaker 3: It all.
Speaker 5: I kind of like camping now, like if it's comfortable
Speaker 5: and there's a lake to you know, we all have
Speaker 5: fear of sand being in our crevasses. I just bought
Speaker 5: a bunch of stuff and brought a bunch of food,
Speaker 5: but I threw away more than half of it because the.
Speaker 2: Quick follow up questions.
Speaker 3: Working in tandem with Allison in this interview, I also
Speaker 3: am very obsessed with being in a situation like that.
Speaker 2: And the bathrooms. Was it porta potties? Was it nightmarish?
Speaker 5: Every other version of this festival called Desert Hearts was
Speaker 5: porta potties. This was the same number of porta potties
Speaker 5: and an over population of brick and mortar restrooms with
Speaker 5: flush toilets and outside of them those kind of beach showers,
Speaker 5: and some people were getting naked effect and no one
Speaker 5: was scaring. There was there was some nudity morning. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 5: there's a naked shower. That's how the world should be.
Speaker 5: And so yes, my tent was very within a one
Speaker 5: minute walk from a perfect bathroom.
Speaker 2: Oh that's terrific. I know, great news for us. You
Speaker 2: know I'm going to constantly worried about bathroom.
Speaker 1: Any other questions I could talk you to into this festival.
Speaker 3: Well, how did you what convinced you to go in
Speaker 3: terms of never having gone to a thing like that before,
Speaker 3: and then what was your favorite part?
Speaker 2: I'm very interested. I am too.
Speaker 5: I was going just to do stand up and I
Speaker 5: thought what fun audiences will be if they're on hallucinogens
Speaker 5: and I can do my material that just demands someone
Speaker 5: imagine something. I felt like, this audience will be able
Speaker 5: to imagine these these these.
Speaker 1: Bits I have.
Speaker 5: And then once I was there, I was like, Oh,
Speaker 5: the show was the last thing I cared about. I
Speaker 5: had so much fun and there was art there, There
Speaker 5: was theatrics, like everyone that worked there was in some
Speaker 5: sort of character. Everyone was playing, and it's usually from
Speaker 5: a distance. I would judge situations like this where people
Speaker 5: are that carefree and playing, and I loved it. That's
Speaker 5: what I didn't expect. That is that what you asked me?
Speaker 5: It is I went to do shows and the thing
Speaker 5: I enjoyed the most was the attitude of everyone feeling
Speaker 5: super comfortable in their skin. And the artwork there was amazing,
Speaker 5: like all these tents with art in them and live painting.
Speaker 1: I was blown away. It was a talented group of people.
Speaker 2: Did people come see comedy at it?
Speaker 3: Not?
Speaker 1: Really?
Speaker 6: That was what I always think about those festivals, and
Speaker 6: I'm like, of all of the you know, events that
Speaker 6: you have access to, in my mind, comedy is like
Speaker 6: the least interesting wise, Yeah.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 6: So I'm just wondering if or was it just kind
Speaker 6: of like a one and like, was it like multiple
Speaker 6: stages that people really had to make that choice or
Speaker 6: was it like a kind of what's happening from three
Speaker 6: to four?
Speaker 5: So yeah, it was at two and four, Yeah, and
Speaker 5: the sun was at its peak hottest, and I was
Speaker 5: never Meanwhile, there's a stage where people are watching waist
Speaker 5: deep from a nice cool lake. It's like, hey, do
Speaker 5: you want to come to this hot There was like
Speaker 5: a saloon where people were doing old timey saloon characters
Speaker 5: and that's where the comedy was happening. And there was
Speaker 5: no roof. There was just like slats for what could
Speaker 5: have been a roof, but the sun was just beaming down.
Speaker 5: So I didn't have the heart to invite anyone.
Speaker 1: To the stand up. I'm like, but people did wander.
Speaker 2: That way, and was it just you were there other comics?
Speaker 5: There were other comics, Alex Super Drennan Davis. Do you
Speaker 5: know Scout? Oh god, what's her last name? She was
Speaker 5: so funny, that's.
Speaker 2: My new Did she play a ukulele?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 5: And she's one of the funniest people I've ever hung out.
Speaker 1: I felt like I've known her forever.
Speaker 3: She did that last last town. She was on Bridgetown
Speaker 3: when we did it that last time.
Speaker 1: Yes, I have to know her last name now otherwise, okay.
Speaker 5: Talk among yours, amongst yourselves, because I'm.
Speaker 2: So, is it like, is it like Dorwood?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 1: Yeh, Scott, thank you Scout Derwood?
Speaker 6: Right, Okay, I also know a dog named Scout, and
Speaker 6: I was like, well, now I'm just thinking of that dog.
Speaker 2: But I do know who she is, and she's very funny.
Speaker 5: But yeah, Brandon and Scout and Alex Hooper was the
Speaker 5: one that invited us, and the invitation kind of came
Speaker 5: out of nowhere at the last minute. And I all
Speaker 5: we did is walk around and tell stories and laugh
Speaker 5: until we were falling on the ground.
Speaker 1: It was just that's something I haven't done for a
Speaker 1: couple of years.
Speaker 3: Yes, I think that's a dream Scenariot. But are you
Speaker 3: comfortable telling us what drugs you took?
Speaker 1: Oh? Sure?
Speaker 5: Hey, listening family. I had a very a chocolate bar
Speaker 5: of mushrooms. Mushroom chocolate bar. You can't taste the mushrooms.
Speaker 5: A chocolate bar of mushrooms, gross uh, mixed with chocolate,
Speaker 5: everyone's favorite.
Speaker 2: I'm just chewing on it and crying I don't have
Speaker 2: to eat.
Speaker 5: So I had a little tiny uh doses of that
Speaker 5: throughout the weekend, and and then you know, I brought
Speaker 5: a little marijuana and uh, and I did a dissolved
Speaker 5: capsule of ketamine, which is a you know, I thought
Speaker 5: it was a cat tranquilizer. Apparently it's a horse drank
Speaker 5: like Elvis used to take. But I swear, and you
Speaker 5: can judge me. I swear it was like a therapeutic,
Speaker 5: like I figured some stuff out in my head and
Speaker 5: my vision got better.
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, my eyes were again.
Speaker 2: Is it kind of be used for therapy?
Speaker 1: Yes, Karen knows. I've been complaining about look at these
Speaker 1: ridiculous glasses.
Speaker 5: It fixed my eyeballs and it is, yes, Allison, it's
Speaker 5: used for therapy. And having tiny doses of it, I
Speaker 5: was like, oh, I get it. I wanted to call
Speaker 5: my family and have conversations with them in those moments good,
Speaker 5: Whereas most drugs, you're like, the last thing I want
Speaker 5: to do is talk to my dad right now.
Speaker 1: It was, Yeah, it was very therapeutic. That's it. Those
Speaker 1: are the drugs. I like it. Thank you. I got
Speaker 1: a little nervous. I'm not that open with my drug use.
Speaker 3: But alson what if we all did this? I was
Speaker 3: on what's the last uh what would they call it?
Speaker 3: Like a class felony level drug?
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 6: I mean, I like I smoke weed, but that's legal
Speaker 6: here as well as in California right now.
Speaker 2: I don't. I guess like it would be like cocaine.
Speaker 6: Yeah, probably Like I had some like mushroom chocolates on
Speaker 6: New Year's of this year.
Speaker 2: M hm, which is great, right, You're mostly a marijuana gale. Sure.
Speaker 6: I don't really stray far outside of stuff I can
Speaker 6: order in the form of a sorbet, which is my
Speaker 6: new favorite consumption method, really hot sorbet. One of my
Speaker 6: services like does a bunch of edibles, and they started
Speaker 6: doing sorbets and they kind of like hit you faster
Speaker 6: than like a regular edible. It's more like a drink almost,
Speaker 6: but they're like delicious. I get like the watermelon mint
Speaker 6: It's really good. Wow. That does sound good.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it almost sounds dangerous, like for drouding to be
Speaker 5: delicious in it.
Speaker 6: I know I have to keep like a regular sorbet
Speaker 6: on hand for like after because I'm like, oh, I
Speaker 6: could just like swimp eating sorbet and then it's like,
Speaker 6: this is one hundred milligrams.
Speaker 5: It's almost like saves you that it eventually melts and
Speaker 5: you have to put it away, right, But I just
Speaker 5: drinking drink it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, what about you, Karen?
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I have epilepsy, so I can't do the
Speaker 3: drugs I used to do. So I haven't done a
Speaker 3: serious drug aside from.
Speaker 2: Weed in a really long time.
Speaker 3: And when I was in my twenties and we were
Speaker 3: doing stuff like mushrooms and stuff, I get acid or whatever.
Speaker 3: I really I do each one once maybe twice, and
Speaker 3: I'd be like, that's enough being out of control for me.
Speaker 3: I'm like a deep down control freak where my mind
Speaker 3: kind of won't.
Speaker 2: Allow a lot.
Speaker 3: Like we did acid once and then hosted a Christmas
Speaker 3: party and so many people were.
Speaker 2: Like you were on ASID. I just thought your eyes
Speaker 2: looked really pretty, look like my pupils are like this big.
Speaker 3: I was opening the door like welcome. Everyone was silver dress. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I was like out of my mind, but there's part
Speaker 3: of me that like can will never let go. It
Speaker 3: feels like so I really love that people are like
Speaker 3: really testing out these the micro versions of things. And
Speaker 3: kind of like, what's the benefit of You don't have
Speaker 3: to be tripping so hard that you have to call
Speaker 3: an ambulance to benefit And like the idea that that's
Speaker 3: how people are doing it these days makes me really
Speaker 3: happy because it was almost like we did mushrooms. The
Speaker 3: first time we did mushrooms, my friend basically gave all
Speaker 3: of us too many and we spent And I've told
Speaker 3: this story so many times Chris knows, but we spent
Speaker 3: eight straight hours laughing and crying crying alternately as we
Speaker 3: moved throughout our apartment in San Francisco, and by the
Speaker 3: time we got to the front room.
Speaker 2: It was like literally eight hours later.
Speaker 3: We were exhausted and dehydrated because we cried out all
Speaker 3: the liquid in our body, and all we could do
Speaker 3: was like order a pizza and watch The Godfather. At
Speaker 3: the end, we were exhausted and we hadn't done anything.
Speaker 3: We were literally just laughing our asses off and then
Speaker 3: sobbing hysterically.
Speaker 1: That's funny.
Speaker 5: For a day, I was watching Scout perform in the
Speaker 5: Hot saloon and I was laughing so hard that I
Speaker 5: started tearing up, and then I just was crying.
Speaker 1: I didn't so.
Speaker 6: I was crying like smoothe transition, Yeah it was.
Speaker 5: I kept smiling, but it looked like my eyes were
Speaker 5: very sad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's so funny. I wasn't going to blame the
Speaker 1: drugs and there we go.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well there that's how they hit you, right.
Speaker 3: I think, did you when Alison, when you did a
Speaker 3: little bit of mushrooms, did you have any kind of
Speaker 3: a was yours a?
Speaker 2: Did you hallucinate? Did you have emotional waves?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 6: What was recent time was just like a very very
Speaker 6: low dose, like micro dosing basically, just like in addition
Speaker 6: to like smoking weed and drinking campagne and like whatever.
Speaker 6: So there was kind of nothing that whole night's of
Speaker 6: blur anyway. But like, I mean, it's been I am
Speaker 6: not someone who has enjoyed tripping in general. So it
Speaker 6: was a long I mean really it was like college
Speaker 6: in my early twenties was the last time I really
Speaker 6: like tripped and like really did more than what will
Speaker 6: be considered a micro dose. And I was just like,
Speaker 6: I again, I'm a control freak. I'm also like I'm
Speaker 6: a drinking gal.
Speaker 2: I like drinking. That's kind of like my comfort zone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, so I.
Speaker 2: Like to just stay in the waters that I know.
Speaker 5: And drink that I drink them, and this this festival
Speaker 5: there was no There was a bar there, like a long,
Speaker 5: well well done saloon style bar, but no one was
Speaker 5: really drinking. This was not a drinking festival, so no
Speaker 5: one was like getting mad or emotional. It made me
Speaker 5: realize like, oh, booze is maybe the worst drug the
Speaker 5: one sure yeah, sure, yeah yeah. There was all this
Speaker 5: micro use of hallucinogen. It's it just makes everyone in
Speaker 5: a good mood. I was just in a good mood
Speaker 5: the whole time. If you have a little bit like, oh,
Speaker 5: I'm happy and I don't know why.
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it.
Speaker 3: I love that, I love it, and I love seeing
Speaker 3: I've seen a couple like because there was a Steve
Speaker 3: Aoki pizza.
Speaker 2: Which made me laugh.
Speaker 3: But I was like, I can I only kind of
Speaker 3: know who that is a little bit. I should watch
Speaker 3: his videos and watching like it's essentially like watching two
Speaker 3: thousand really good looking twenty four year olds jump up
Speaker 3: and down at the same time and like be like
Speaker 3: life is great.
Speaker 2: Majority white.
Speaker 3: It's just the weirdest thing that is like has nothing
Speaker 3: to do with any part of my life. It's so
Speaker 3: new to me as a old gen xer kind of
Speaker 3: thing where it's just like I don't think I'll ever
Speaker 3: do it. It would be cool, but I also I
Speaker 3: think it's just for other generations. Yea.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was worried I would be the oldest person
Speaker 5: at this thing, and it was all forty something.
Speaker 1: There was old people there.
Speaker 5: I was very surprised that it was not a Coachella
Speaker 5: type crowd.
Speaker 6: Yeah, but overall, I'm just like beyond standing around. That's
Speaker 6: like just not part of my life. It's how much
Speaker 6: i'm down to like micro dos ketamine and like try
Speaker 6: and experience music in a different way.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I just don't want to stand for an
Speaker 2: hour and a half, right as a minimum.
Speaker 5: And at this thing, we were just wandering to look
Speaker 5: at the different displays like art installations.
Speaker 1: The whole time.
Speaker 6: I was I don't even like going to museums, ye
Speaker 6: walking around looking at stuff I.
Speaker 2: Could be at home.
Speaker 3: What about a museum where the art isn't in any
Speaker 3: way as good and the sun's on you the whole time,
Speaker 3: but it's not that.
Speaker 6: Oh well, now I'm really interested. Could I also be
Speaker 6: dehydrated and dirty?
Speaker 2: I would love a museum.
Speaker 6: The style of like the conveyor belt sushi, Like I
Speaker 6: stay in one place and the art comes to me
Speaker 6: and in some style what I would like to participate.
Speaker 2: That's yeah. And then you just turn your face away
Speaker 2: if you don't like something.
Speaker 7: No, sorry, goodbye, fuck you not paying attention because you
Speaker 7: know well also I think and this is a thing
Speaker 7: that I have a hard time, like I would if
Speaker 7: I didn't have a brain disorder, I would absolutely try
Speaker 7: something like this just in that way of like I
Speaker 7: absolutely believe and love the idea, Chris, of what you're saying,
Speaker 7: which is a brand new experience that actually allowed you
Speaker 7: to enjoy it. There was no they made sure the
Speaker 7: trappings of things that bum you out when you're on
Speaker 7: drugs kind of aren't around in that way. And the
Speaker 7: vibes are right, I mean, like it reminds me of
Speaker 7: again talking about comedy festivals, but that idea that like
Speaker 7: this kind of perfectly catered to my world. Hang where
Speaker 7: and it is like it's indoors, it's at night, there's
Speaker 7: water in pizza, there's real.
Speaker 3: Funny people standing around having a good time. Like for me,
Speaker 3: the sun can't be involved dirt like a constancy of dirt,
Speaker 3: can't be involved, needing to be exposed physically beautiful.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of rules with me.
Speaker 3: We're just like if I was the kind of girl
Speaker 3: they could throw on a bikini top and some Jeane
Speaker 3: shorts and like go to this the desert, it would
Speaker 3: be a different story for me.
Speaker 5: I'm I'm not and you Yes, I wasn't really thriving
Speaker 5: until the sun went down, and then it felt it
Speaker 5: felt good like those like bridge Town and those festivals
Speaker 5: felt that night. But during the day I did a
Speaker 5: lot of like struggling going to my hot tent, waiting for.
Speaker 1: The sun to.
Speaker 2: Get a lot of struggling.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, which is part probably part of the victory
Speaker 3: at the end, right you need it's a journey.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I tried just walking around with electrical tape x's on
Speaker 5: my nips, but I just I went back to the tent.
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is not feeling good.
Speaker 6: And the zebra cow bucket hat provided no protection.
Speaker 2: From the sun. It triples the heat. Actually it traps
Speaker 2: all of it in your head.
Speaker 1: It kept my forehead from getting burnt.
Speaker 4: Yes, important, very important, Yes, just that section.
Speaker 3: I love this story because I had friends, I had
Speaker 3: a friend who just told me about going camping and
Speaker 3: being in the desert and experiencing some kind of creepy
Speaker 3: racist people that were like shooting guns and with Confederate
Speaker 3: flag things. So, to me, in this current reality that
Speaker 3: we're in, in the difficulty level we are playing at
Speaker 3: on a twenty four to seven basis, this idea that
Speaker 3: their people are making a very conscious effort to do
Speaker 3: things like that actually brings me great solace and relief
Speaker 3: because I think people, especially like not just twenty beautiful
Speaker 3: twenty four year olds, but mediocre fifty two year olds,
Speaker 3: need that kind of also, that need that experience. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was no one like that at this festival.
Speaker 5: And if they were, they were cause playing like they
Speaker 5: weren't that person and convincingly like everyone was. And in
Speaker 5: the middle of the night I saw a giant I
Speaker 5: an eagle, a bird with an eight foot wingspan, fly
Speaker 5: out of a tree. And that was sort of a
Speaker 5: religious experiment, experience experiment.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, son, so many things. I loved it.
Speaker 6: No birds of prey for you, Allison, I'm not into birds.
Speaker 6: Can I relay like a horrifying story too about birds?
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 6: I have like many horrifying stories that I like to
Speaker 6: talk about with birds, but there's just one that's pretty recent.
Speaker 2: I I live in New York, and I have a terrace.
Speaker 2: That's the whole thing. It's like horrifying.
Speaker 6: Ah No, So I have like a little I have
Speaker 6: like a little little terrasts out there. So I have
Speaker 6: like a big glass door and a big glass window
Speaker 6: that like goes out to it, and behind my apartment
Speaker 6: there's this giant tree that a lot of birds like
Speaker 6: to live in. I came home, I like ran out,
Speaker 6: got coffee, and came back. One day there was a
Speaker 6: huge oily mark of a bird. It had hit my door.
Speaker 6: It was like you could make out the feathers. Okay,
Speaker 6: birds are an oily disgusting monsters. It was like it
Speaker 6: was like and you could see like every feather and
Speaker 6: it was like wings were out and then like it
Speaker 6: kind of like I think it kind of like shit
Speaker 6: itself the door on it, and like I didn't see
Speaker 6: like a dead bird anywhere, so I think it like
Speaker 6: survived and flew away. And I was just like, oh
Speaker 6: my god, this is like obviously that's a horrifying thing.
Speaker 6: And I was like I'm so glad I wasn't home
Speaker 6: when it happened. And then like a week later, I
Speaker 6: was sitting on my couch and like my window was
Speaker 6: slightly a jar and it's one that opens like in
Speaker 6: like on a hinge, like instead of.
Speaker 2: Up or down.
Speaker 6: And I was just sitting watching TV and all sudden
Speaker 6: I saw a bird like flying directly and it hit
Speaker 6: the window and like flew away, and the scream I
Speaker 6: let out it wasn't even like the shriek that you
Speaker 6: would expect in a moment of terror, Like it was
Speaker 6: this like eh, and then I just started ye like
Speaker 6: fuck fu fuck it like it flew away and it
Speaker 6: was fine, I think, But I just so I bought
Speaker 6: a plastic owl and now that's out there and just
Speaker 6: some sparkly pinwheels to go in my plants, and I
Speaker 6: was like that's supposed to help.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the tree.
Speaker 6: Is blooming again, hence like the sound of my voice
Speaker 6: and my allergy is going crazy and I'm just like
Speaker 6: living in terror that they're that they're plotting something over there.
Speaker 2: They are they are city birds. Hell yeah, city birds.
Speaker 6: They're so gross, Like yeah, no, I no, thanks, are
Speaker 6: you guys bird people?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 5: I don't I I don't think I'm a bird person.
Speaker 5: I do appreciate when there's a the largest bird I've
Speaker 5: ever seen, yes, in a tree and I maybe it
Speaker 5: was a raven.
Speaker 1: It was by himself. This was at like two in
Speaker 1: the morning.
Speaker 5: Too, it was so dark and uh so I like
Speaker 5: mysterious uh birds.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm not Like my mom was a bird watcher.
Speaker 5: She like had the memorized and would go with her
Speaker 5: friends and they had binoculars like it was.
Speaker 6: I respect that so much more than the people who
Speaker 6: are like, I'll put this one in my house like
Speaker 6: those are.
Speaker 3: I was that was gonna be My point is I
Speaker 3: think that's the line. The line of demarcation is no
Speaker 3: birds in the house, because they're also like folklore wise,
Speaker 3: it's bad luck to have birds in your house. So
Speaker 3: it must be the idea that you the print was
Speaker 3: on the outside, that's great because that's bird like there's no.
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't trying to escape because I had it here.
Speaker 2: It wasn't your weren't trying to make it your pet.
Speaker 3: And it's like the point of birds is they get
Speaker 3: to go do a thing we can't do, like keeping
Speaker 3: them in our house to fucking sit around and watch
Speaker 3: Netflix is kind of shitty.
Speaker 6: If you think, no, it's terrible, it's yeah, I would
Speaker 6: say inhumane, but.
Speaker 2: In avian I don't know. But it's anti bird.
Speaker 3: It's it's directly anti bird for sure. Also, I think
Speaker 3: like city birds, you know what I mean, Like you're
Speaker 3: you're getting a lot of pigeon, You're getting a lot
Speaker 3: of like kind of agro dirty birds grow dirty.
Speaker 6: Don't forget oily oily blown away by how oily?
Speaker 2: It was just a greasy oily.
Speaker 6: It's like kind of you know when you wake up
Speaker 6: sometimes in the morning and you put on like too
Speaker 6: much like face stuff the night before, like too much
Speaker 6: serum and oil. And I got to wash this pillowcase tonight,
Speaker 6: like I had that vibe to it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, City birds, How is New York right now?
Speaker 6: How are things interesting? We've got an we've got a
Speaker 6: new shitty mare and that guys bring that swag all
Speaker 6: over the streets doing nothing and uh yeah, I'm you know,
Speaker 6: thriving in my glasshouse. Birds.
Speaker 3: You are currently doing a one woman show about abortion
Speaker 3: about abortion.
Speaker 2: What a smooth transition, right right, Let's just let's die
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I am doing my one I hate the phrase
Speaker 6: one Woman Show, even though like there's nothing wrong with it,
Speaker 6: that's my own personal bias.
Speaker 2: My solo sit. It's very nineteen ninety four.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I imagine I should be like in a black
Speaker 6: box theater, smoking in a beret or something like that,
Speaker 6: and that's like not so in a perfect world, that's
Speaker 6: what it would be.
Speaker 2: You'd be. It's the whole.
Speaker 3: I think there's a David Teldrey of standing on a ladder,
Speaker 3: Standing on a ladder.
Speaker 6: But I started writing it a couple of years ago,
Speaker 6: and it's just about my experience of having an abortion
Speaker 6: and a latent life abortion at that at thirty five,
Speaker 6: and you know, and then yesterday the news broke that
Speaker 6: that right is going to be gone. And it has
Speaker 6: been an intense twenty four hours.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I met yeah, but yeah at the Cherry Lane Theater,
Speaker 6: which is like New York's oldest off Broadway theater and
Speaker 6: it's been the home of so many like brilliant, great people.
Speaker 2: And then I'm up there and I'm.
Speaker 6: Like, my abortion just psychotic, but is wonderful and like
Speaker 6: a treat to be there.
Speaker 3: Well, I bet you, like in a time like this,
Speaker 3: it hopefully what I would hope is that people are
Speaker 3: going to go watch it for the very reason of
Speaker 3: this is a thing we never discussed. This is the
Speaker 3: thing that's supposed to be a woman's problem. This is
Speaker 3: that thing that's like let them deal with it. Meanwhile,
Speaker 3: men are the cause. Men are half of it. They're
Speaker 3: fucking getting away with you know, like just not participating
Speaker 3: in this at all.
Speaker 2: It's totally ridiculous. So I love that. You know, it's
Speaker 2: like not easy.
Speaker 3: I'm sure to continue a conversation people don't necessarily want
Speaker 3: to have, but I bet you they will start to
Speaker 3: want to.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean, like the whole like kind of conceit of
Speaker 6: the show is I only really talk about my abortion
Speaker 6: for like eight minutes of the hour, which is about
Speaker 6: how long it takes to have an abortion. But it's
Speaker 6: more just about like what it's like to be a
Speaker 6: woman and how we conflate like motherhood and female identity
Speaker 6: and like you're either a mother or you're not a mother,
Speaker 6: and like men don't have to live under that binary.
Speaker 6: But it's you know, the call to action of it
Speaker 6: at all is just like, hey, we should talk about
Speaker 6: abortion more because like I was an activist for many
Speaker 6: years and had no idea like what it entailed until
Speaker 6: I had one, and I'm like, wow, that would be
Speaker 6: cool information to have had, and like what friends of mine?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, ah lost a headphone? M just like
Speaker 2: gesturing too much?
Speaker 6: Is my one woman's showness coming out at me over here?
Speaker 2: Big hands, big hands and arms. Let them see you
Speaker 2: in the back row.
Speaker 6: But the whole thing, the whole point of the show
Speaker 6: is like I'm not telling you to go do anything
Speaker 6: except for like just talk about abortion more. Ask questions,
Speaker 6: or talk about this show, or talk about yours, talk
Speaker 6: about someone's like and that's still the thrust of the show.
Speaker 6: And everyone's like, are you going to change it, you know,
Speaker 6: to be more political, And I'm like.
Speaker 2: It's already inherently very political.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you were being political when no one was being political.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't have to change anything.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm like, it's already a show about abortion. I
Speaker 6: think it's like pretty on topic for what we're doing.
Speaker 2: Don't worry about it. I think that.
Speaker 6: So there was like some guy, some like right wing
Speaker 6: guy who called himself a playwright, wrote like a response
Speaker 6: play to it, but here's show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he like purchased a.
Speaker 6: Ticket and came and saw it like him and his
Speaker 6: wife for a partner or something like that. And I'm like, well,
Speaker 6: you already like gave me the money, like I don't
Speaker 6: know what you So he wanted to like put up
Speaker 6: I like I saw this on.
Speaker 2: I had no idea.
Speaker 6: My publicist told made them like Fox News like ran
Speaker 6: a little story online. But he like was doing some
Speaker 6: play that's supposed to be like the truth about abortion
Speaker 6: and it's just the incredibly gruesome court transcripts from like
Speaker 6: a guy who performed abortions, but like was doing some
Speaker 6: not great stuff and so he just like the play
Speaker 6: was just reading these like really gruesome transcripts and the
Speaker 6: theater was like, oh yeah, no, we're not doing this,
Speaker 6: like this is not safe, this is not And now
Speaker 6: he's like claiming censorship and all this stuff. Of course,
Speaker 6: but he like bought tickets to mine. I was like, okay,
Speaker 6: I'll take your cash, bro. Hell yes.
Speaker 5: And did he say he wrote his play as a
Speaker 5: response to your show.
Speaker 2: I think that the intention.
Speaker 6: I don't know if he didn't write it like after
Speaker 6: he had seen it, just because that was scared. But
Speaker 6: I think it's I know, it's like you went home
Speaker 6: and wrote something. But I think he knew it was
Speaker 6: like obviously it had been publicized before I opened the show,
Speaker 6: so I think he like saw it was coming and
Speaker 6: was like, I'm going to do a the other side,
Speaker 6: the right side to this, and it's like, actually you can.
Speaker 2: It's like horrific and no one wants to see that.
Speaker 3: Well, and also it's just this very narrow propaganda service
Speaker 3: to a thing that's not actually addressing what the point
Speaker 3: of this medical procedure is about is for. And it's
Speaker 3: actually that thing of that idea where it's like, well,
Speaker 3: you can keep on talking about it's this is like,
Speaker 3: of course a Twitter quote that I read this morning,
Speaker 3: so now I'm the expert on yes, of course you
Speaker 3: know how it all worked. But it was that thing
Speaker 3: of like speaking for the unborn is the easiest way
Speaker 3: to pretend to be a Christian because they don't they
Speaker 3: don't talk back. You can use them any way you want.
Speaker 3: And meanwhile, there's all kinds of people who need your help,
Speaker 3: who are actually people, and you never engage with that,
Speaker 3: and you actually have uh yeah it or just the
Speaker 3: simplicity of like once that baby's born, those Republicans are
Speaker 3: like no fucking help, no services, no childcare. Women don't
Speaker 3: make money. Like the whole thing is such a fucking skin.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you don't even get time off to have the
Speaker 6: baby from your job, Like you have to be.
Speaker 3: A work unless you have the best job, or you know,
Speaker 3: your job unionizes and you have.
Speaker 6: Right, which you probably got because of other privilege. So yeah,
Speaker 6: it's just it's a cool cycle that we built into
Speaker 6: our culture. It's Oh, but this guy complained that I
Speaker 6: didn't talk about abortion enough of the show, the guy
Speaker 6: who wrote the other But.
Speaker 2: He's like fucking critic.
Speaker 6: He's like, it's just anecdotals. She doesn't talk about it
Speaker 6: at all, And I'm like, aren't you mad, Like, isn't
Speaker 6: that the thing that you should be happy about that
Speaker 6: it like doesn't have more.
Speaker 5: He wanted to hear the gruesome medical details. That's yeah,
Speaker 5: he likes to sink his teeth into definitely.
Speaker 2: Gross.
Speaker 3: Well, it's crazy, he's to they're actually also trying to
Speaker 3: regulate how you do your abortion story personally.
Speaker 2: All of it needs to be controlled.
Speaker 6: Police, the creative body, you fucking piece of shit.
Speaker 1: That was so good. Police, and you've been doing it.
Speaker 1: You're in like you're uh, you've been doing it several
Speaker 1: weeks now, right, you're not.
Speaker 2: Even I have the middle of week two. Oh wow.
Speaker 2: So really still like I knew that, like we were
Speaker 2: going to overturn Rev. Wade. I think we all know that.
Speaker 2: That was like, that's the decision that's coming.
Speaker 6: And I was just like, well, that'll happen in June
Speaker 6: and maybe it'll still be running or maybe not, like
Speaker 6: I might have to kind of address that or deal
Speaker 6: with it. And then like the eighth show, it like,
Speaker 6: yeah happened, and I was like, God, damn it, Like
Speaker 6: I can't not acknowledge, like the elephant in the room.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: But at the same time, I'm like, I wrote this thing,
Speaker 6: and I spent a really long time writing it. I
Speaker 6: want to keep doing it the way I would like to.
Speaker 5: Has the show changed as because of that or just
Speaker 5: not yet.
Speaker 6: It's only really been one performance so far that has
Speaker 6: happened in this light. But if anything, I think it
Speaker 6: kind of drives home that it's like on the right
Speaker 6: course because it's just this kind of like gentle personal
Speaker 6: story and.
Speaker 2: You know, with Roe v.
Speaker 6: Wade overturning, there is like I do talk about my
Speaker 6: mom and her relationship to abortion, and that's kind of
Speaker 6: like the twist of the show and it is relevant
Speaker 6: to the news sadly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what an important time to be doing this show.
Speaker 2: I know, all I wanted to do was like do
Speaker 2: stupid jokes, and now I'm like, oh god, damn it.
Speaker 2: I'm like I don't want that. I want zero responsibility
Speaker 2: on comedy. Like, I don't know why I set off
Speaker 2: to do this. All I want to do is write
Speaker 2: stupid jokes about plant stores. Yeah, but maybe the I
Speaker 2: don't know.
Speaker 3: It's like exactly the way you're envisioning, kind of talking
Speaker 3: about a thing that people literally can't talk about at all. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you're talking about it for eight minutes. It makes Fox News.
Speaker 3: I mean, all of this is important. It's it doesn't
Speaker 3: have to be some sort of perfect legislative anything. It's
Speaker 3: your art. It's your fucking opinion, and that's the point overall,
Speaker 3: Like that in and of itself, you're killing it.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah I did. I mean that's why there's a yep,
Speaker 2: you great.
Speaker 6: But yeah, it's been it's been going really well. It's
Speaker 6: been really fun and exciting and people are very It's
Speaker 6: like every single show at least one person dms me afterwards,
Speaker 6: and it's like I had an abortion, and I'm like,
Speaker 6: I love that.
Speaker 2: I love the people like.
Speaker 6: Want feel compelled to tell me that no one has to.
Speaker 6: There's no pressure to.
Speaker 2: I'm not checking on the way out, and it's like,
Speaker 2: end you did you have one?
Speaker 3: But it is that kind of thing where it's like
Speaker 3: it's so highly sensitive and yet insanely commonplace, Like there's
Speaker 3: such a culture a lie about it, where it's this
Speaker 3: kind of like the forbidden thing that happens to fallen
Speaker 3: women or something. It's like, hey, guess what, it's twenty
Speaker 3: twenty two. Probably everybody you know has had some interaction
Speaker 3: with this situation, with this medical procedure.
Speaker 2: Let's get honest.
Speaker 6: Let's be yeah, one in three or one in four women,
Speaker 6: depending on the statistic you read, like, it's a lot
Speaker 6: of fucking people. Like, it's just a lot of people.
Speaker 6: It's hard to believe that those would all be you know,
Speaker 6: poor eighteen year olds who like never got their shit
Speaker 6: toget Like, no, it's all kinds of different, you know people.
Speaker 6: And I love those threads that I see where people
Speaker 6: who perform abortions are like, here's all the different kinds
Speaker 6: of people that have come in for an abortion, a
Speaker 6: married woman with six kids, an unmarried woman on her
Speaker 6: way to a PhD program, an eighteen year old who like, like,
Speaker 6: there's just like every person you could imagine has had
Speaker 6: to deal with this.
Speaker 2: So it's just a it's a good fun show.
Speaker 3: The thing that I kept retweeting, and then I'm like,
Speaker 3: I'm just all the people I'm talking to agree with me,
Speaker 3: and probably we know this. Yeah, it's like this seven
Speaker 3: or eight out of ten Americans' support abortion, like the
Speaker 3: vast majority, So we are absolutely What we're really talking
Speaker 3: about in terms of what's happening with legislation is we're
Speaker 3: talking about fascism setting its teeth right into this country.
Speaker 3: Because that's it's actually very symbolic. They're using Yeah, they're
Speaker 3: using law from the time of when they.
Speaker 2: Used to prosecute witches. Like, what in the.
Speaker 3: Living fuck are we allowing to happen with this minority right?
Speaker 2: That's going insane. It's crazy.
Speaker 6: It's so crazy, it feels it truly feels like not
Speaker 6: being on this planet. I'm like, this can't be real,
Speaker 6: this can't be really what's happening in the United States,
Speaker 6: But here we are in hell.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true. Hi welcome. Hey, Hi, welcome. We can
Speaker 2: I recommend Chris's EDM festival.
Speaker 6: Right The alternatives are like a beautiful EDM festival for everyone,
Speaker 6: micro dos and ketymine and exploring the way that they
Speaker 6: love each other, or just complete restriction of people's reproductive
Speaker 6: that's America right now.
Speaker 2: Sorry, not people's just women.
Speaker 3: Men.
Speaker 2: Men are absolutely whatever they want all the time.
Speaker 3: Please, and we'll make more pills to make it so
Speaker 3: that the older you get.
Speaker 2: The more women you can fucket.
Speaker 6: I know it's a different topic if I could give it,
Speaker 6: because I have a question.
Speaker 2: Karen.
Speaker 6: You just said that you were before we got on,
Speaker 6: that you're new to kombucha. What flavors like? I know
Speaker 6: that you just took a sip of one. What flavor
Speaker 6: is like? Working for you? I have some thoughts. You
Speaker 6: have no right to ask me this. I think the
Speaker 6: Supreme Court told me that you have no privacy anymore.
Speaker 2: You're like, actually, I have it right here.
Speaker 3: Alito says that you have to report every beverage that
Speaker 3: you have to me. So I'll do a wide swath
Speaker 3: answer and the narrow Yeah. So I'm just trying to stop, Like,
Speaker 3: how can I stop making bad decisions? In the moment
Speaker 3: because I'm only ever at my house working and stressing
Speaker 3: out essentially, like how do people do it and do
Speaker 3: it so well here and here in Los Angeles without
Speaker 3: only eating like fucking nettles all day long, because that's
Speaker 3: what it seems like to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I was reading stuff about like the gut biome
Speaker 3: and all that stuff, and like, just if the aim
Speaker 3: is like trying to get a healthy gut biome going,
Speaker 3: because I know, I like, my big thing is sugar,
Speaker 3: So if you have a ton of sugar in your system,
Speaker 3: you crave more sugar.
Speaker 2: So it's just right.
Speaker 3: So it's just the trying to remove some stuff and
Speaker 3: then trying to like clean it out. I don't know,
Speaker 3: And that's the long answer. The short answer is like
Speaker 3: all my beautiful yoga friends always have one of these
Speaker 3: in their hands, so I'm like, fine, that'll be my
Speaker 3: thing too, because I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm trying to kick or at least like reduce
Speaker 6: my diet coke cabit, which is uh, I would say,
Speaker 6: out of control. We have like palettes of diet coke
Speaker 6: at the theater, just like under every piece of furniture
Speaker 6: in the green Room because like we can't, and like
Speaker 6: everybody that is working almost with me similarly is addicted.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, guys, we got to do something.
Speaker 6: This can't go on, and yet I've done nothing, but
Speaker 6: like I try and use like kombucha as like oh,
Speaker 6: when you're craving something like that, like maybe the answer
Speaker 6: is something more like kombucha, and I like it. I
Speaker 6: act like it's Dray now and like one of them
Speaker 6: just like changes everything and it's not the case at all.
Speaker 2: It's not the case at all.
Speaker 3: But like, so this one's golden Pineapple, which I just
Speaker 3: kind of was like, oh, that seems like I would
Speaker 3: like it at least more than whatever. The last one
Speaker 3: I had it was Chris was did we do a
Speaker 3: dinar that day? I know, I recorded a podcast where
Speaker 3: I took a sip and went, oh, today's the day
Speaker 3: this kombucha expires. And it was like, whatever I'm doing
Speaker 3: this is not responsible and I could actually be causing
Speaker 3: a whole new set of problems with like rotten fermented
Speaker 3: mushroom drink.
Speaker 5: It's just having you more positive bacteria. It's fine, I think.
Speaker 5: So it's the good kind of.
Speaker 2: It didn't taste I know that's the hard thing. Abou kba.
Speaker 6: It's actually kind of hard to know when it's gone
Speaker 6: because it's like slimy and weird. Yeah, yeah, I kind
Speaker 6: of stick with just like the lemon ginger varieties. I
Speaker 6: find the other stuff gets real sweet for me and
Speaker 6: like I'm not if it's not chemicals, like I just
Speaker 6: want like water or sparkling water.
Speaker 1: Yes, my answer is the ginger aid.
Speaker 6: I like the the health Aid, don't.
Speaker 2: They're all so expensive and stupid.
Speaker 6: But it's the the squatter sized bottle, like the the like.
Speaker 6: It's like shorter like and like wider. It's like a
Speaker 6: barrel that perhaps the Saint Bernard would have around his neck.
Speaker 6: And uh, they do a good lemon ginger and a
Speaker 6: cayenne cleanse, which I always like, this is medicine and
Speaker 6: it's like it's not.
Speaker 2: It's truly just a drink.
Speaker 6: But sure, you want to hurt yourself while you're drinking,
Speaker 6: just go for it.
Speaker 3: It's going to be painful, but it's gonna be paid.
Speaker 3: I thought you were describing. One time during the during quarantine,
Speaker 3: I ordered two bottles of kombucha, but I didn't look
Speaker 3: at how big they were, and I get and I
Speaker 3: was just like, I don't need I barely drink the
Speaker 3: ones I buy, Like, how am I going to ever finish?
Speaker 3: It was so hilarious. They were in my refrigerator for
Speaker 3: a very long time.
Speaker 6: The one brand does like truly growler sized bottles, and like,
Speaker 6: to me, I'm like, the appeal is when you first
Speaker 6: open it and it's super fizzy because it's for me,
Speaker 6: a soda replacement. So yeah, the idea of having a
Speaker 6: big one that you're drinking like over the course of
Speaker 6: several days or the week, I just am like by
Speaker 6: the end, like I'm like, uh uh, it's so flat.
Speaker 6: It's already not great. I mean I drink them all
Speaker 6: the time, but yes.
Speaker 3: And do you think, like do you see improvements in
Speaker 3: any areas?
Speaker 2: Do you think?
Speaker 6: I think I do think that it does, like do
Speaker 6: some gut and digestion regulation. It's like hard to say
Speaker 6: if it does a ton, because I feel like usually
Speaker 6: when I get a kombucha, either I'm like trying to
Speaker 6: solve a problem.
Speaker 1: Or like.
Speaker 2: I'm like do this, We'll do it.
Speaker 6: Or I'm like already kind of on a little like
Speaker 6: healthy kick where I'm like I had a green juice,
Speaker 6: I had a salad, I'm getting a kombucha, Like I'm
Speaker 6: trying to be a different person. So it's like hard
Speaker 6: to measure if those are like effective, don't there's no control,
Speaker 6: so but I think I do think that there's like
Speaker 6: some even if there's just like placebo effect, like mental
Speaker 6: benefits of like I'm making good choices and therefore, like
Speaker 6: remember they used to have those commercials that was a
Speaker 6: side by side. I think it was for like obviously
Speaker 6: something that was not actually healthy, like a neutral green
Speaker 6: bar or something like that, but it was like somebody
Speaker 6: on one side. It was like two different point of
Speaker 6: view people's days, and one person grabs like this healthy
Speaker 6: thing and the other person has like donut, and then
Speaker 6: it's like how every decision they make during the rest
Speaker 6: of the day, like to watch TV instead of work out,
Speaker 6: a salad instead of pizza, like those things, and it's
Speaker 6: like what it does during the day.
Speaker 2: I do think that there's like a real that is
Speaker 2: a real thing.
Speaker 6: So like if I have a kombucha, maybe I'm less
Speaker 6: likely to have a tall boy.
Speaker 5: Diet is just a step in the momentum. I yes,
Speaker 5: When I live with Tigs, she was always had probiotics,
Speaker 5: which is an intense version of what kombucha does, like
Speaker 5: refrigerated bacteria that you take as a supplement. And because
Speaker 5: she always had gut problems totally, and like after I
Speaker 5: had surgery and your whole body needs to reline its stomach,
Speaker 5: I took those probiotics and they I felt great, like
Speaker 5: I could tell my system. You would think I'd learn
Speaker 5: a lesson and then regularly take them. But yeah, now
Speaker 5: I'm a base I'm a big fan.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm very fascinated by the gut, the gut
Speaker 3: mind right, that whole discovery where it's like that's what
Speaker 3: instinct is and all these things. But our guts are
Speaker 3: all fucked up because we're eating crazy man made corn
Speaker 3: and shit whatever.
Speaker 2: Whatever is the blame. I don't die made that up.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 3: This is why I'm I have to be gluten free.
Speaker 3: Just weird, made up shit. But it's like that idea
Speaker 3: that if we if I could, because a couple of
Speaker 3: times I've quit sugar, quit flour, feel amazing. The difference
Speaker 3: is amazing. Whatever, and it's just like, but it doesn't
Speaker 3: matter because it's so hard to stay on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, someone's gonna bring pizza.
Speaker 5: Yep, yeah, and I'm going to dive into it like
Speaker 5: Scrooge McDuck.
Speaker 6: You gotta yeah, yeah, Monday to Wednesday, it's easy to
Speaker 6: have those kinds of diets.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: Thursday rolls around and you're like, well now I'm out.
Speaker 3: Now we're back to the great mac and cheese for quandary,
Speaker 3: which is like it's just don't order it now.
Speaker 6: I got into such a thing during like the beginning
Speaker 6: of the pandemic, where like because every time I ordered
Speaker 6: out it was very specifically a treat because otherwise I
Speaker 6: cooked everything, and I was just like once a week
Speaker 6: or once every other week. You like support a restaurant
Speaker 6: and you order and get whatever you want, and now
Speaker 6: like that's how I order food. And I'm like, okay,
Speaker 6: but like now this is like just a regular dinner.
Speaker 6: But like you just don't have time to cook, Like
Speaker 6: you don't need to order cake.
Speaker 2: It's just not part of the meal.
Speaker 3: Trying to support this subway, this struggling cheesecake factory. Yes,
Speaker 3: please buy one of our cheesecakes and keep us in business.
Speaker 2: Okay, I have yes, I mean I'm just trying to
Speaker 2: be a good person. Fine with me, I do love that.
Speaker 3: The thing I actually always say to myself is like,
Speaker 3: it'll be a restaurant that's completely serves other stuff, But
Speaker 3: then if you go into the sides area, everybody's got
Speaker 3: a mac and cheese, some kind of fancy version of
Speaker 3: mac and cheese, where I'm like, well, I haven't had
Speaker 3: this kind yet, and I absolutely the voice is trying
Speaker 3: to convince actual me like that I've I've never tried
Speaker 3: mac and cheese where it's like, you know what this
Speaker 3: is gonna be. It's very simple.
Speaker 2: Yes, it is not.
Speaker 1: Even like cage By.
Speaker 5: There's this vegan place by my oh house and they
Speaker 5: serve like fried mac and cheese balls, but it's not
Speaker 5: real cheese.
Speaker 1: So I juggled them into my mouth like it's the
Speaker 1: end of the world.
Speaker 6: Yes, the like trick that I play on myself when
Speaker 6: things are plant based or whatever, other like what seemingly
Speaker 6: is healthy from a dietary standpoint, I'm just like, like
Speaker 6: an impossible burger, like is so good in so many
Speaker 6: ways for all the things that does, but like it's
Speaker 6: super high in fat and sodium in the way that
Speaker 6: beef is.
Speaker 2: Like not solved.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, right, So it's just so like again with
Speaker 6: like vegan food too. Like I remember my friend used
Speaker 6: to live near a place in Chelsea and we would
Speaker 6: get there like vegan blt which was like chabbata bread
Speaker 6: and like a big piece of fried tofu.
Speaker 2: And then tempe bacon and this.
Speaker 6: Like Chipotle like vegan aoli, and we were just like,
Speaker 6: oh my god, this is so great and it's healthy,
Speaker 6: and they're like, well, it's not healthy. I mean it's side.
Speaker 6: There's like multiple fried things on that sandwich. They're just
Speaker 6: not like animals.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's ye hard, one thing at a time.
Speaker 3: It's because diet coke is the same way where and
Speaker 3: I do that anytime I have an office job, diet
Speaker 3: coke becomes a huge problem or like a huge sorry that.
Speaker 2: That dog's just going to bark. I mean that's just
Speaker 2: like he's just gonna bark.
Speaker 1: I doubt on the mic. It's just zoom.
Speaker 2: Barks, zoom barks.
Speaker 3: It's like my dog knows like a certain amount of
Speaker 3: time passes and he's like enough with the door being closed,
Speaker 3: Like if you're not going to have me in your life,
Speaker 3: then you're gonna remember that I'm out here by myself, Frank, Okay, I.
Speaker 5: Just wanted to know you were okay in there, just
Speaker 5: checking on you one last mark.
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm sorry you're on a call. I didn't
Speaker 2: really know. I'm just oh, oh oh, my mistakes.
Speaker 3: But I'm just gonna say it is weird how addictive
Speaker 3: diet coke can be in that way where getting me
Speaker 3: through It's like the gap between eleven and one thirty,
Speaker 3: then the gap between three and five, then the gap
Speaker 3: between where then then you go to a restaurant's like, oh,
Speaker 3: fountain diet coke. Like I've never had a diet coke before.
Speaker 6: R Right, It's like I send to a restaurant that
Speaker 6: has a fountain machine before, like I know what it
Speaker 6: tastes like, It's okay to not get like to I
Speaker 6: get in phases where like especially like when I'm in
Speaker 6: jobs or going to a place every day for something.
Speaker 6: I guess that's what work is, but you know what
Speaker 6: I mean, Yeah, where I'm like, oh, I can't have
Speaker 6: a meal without it, Like I can't have my lunch
Speaker 6: without it, or if I'm going to have a snack
Speaker 6: later in the day, I'm like, well, I'm gonna get
Speaker 6: and then like it's like, just have a fucking coffee,
Speaker 6: Like just have a cup of coffee, Like that's fine,
Speaker 6: That's way better.
Speaker 5: I mean, I randomly had a desk at this action
Speaker 5: sports show I was working on, and they there was
Speaker 5: a red Bull tiny dorm sized refrigerator next to my desk,
Speaker 5: and I would just without even thinking about it, I
Speaker 5: would just reach over and I probably had five or
Speaker 5: six a day art palpitations and I was getting arthritic.
Speaker 5: I really think it was the my joints hurt crack,
Speaker 5: another red Bull crack.
Speaker 6: I've never been a red Bull person, and I'm like,
Speaker 6: I get on a hot I'm like, I'm like, I've
Speaker 6: never had those drinks. It's like I am mainlining six
Speaker 6: diet cokes during the day. There is no there is
Speaker 6: no high horse to climb on right right, But for
Speaker 6: some reason like get that, but I have never It's
Speaker 6: just a different chemical.
Speaker 2: I like other.
Speaker 1: Chemicals and I don't.
Speaker 5: I it just happened to be within literally within arms reach,
Speaker 5: and I'm like, well, I got to keep working.
Speaker 1: I'll have one of these jittery SODA's.
Speaker 2: At my last like.
Speaker 6: In person fancy like TV job I was. My office
Speaker 6: was like directly across from the kitchen, and they stocked
Speaker 6: like it was an Amazon show. They stocked fucking everything
Speaker 6: for us, probably shipped via Amazon. It was probably just
Speaker 6: a cycle of closed loop uh profit. But it was
Speaker 6: like so like every time I got up to go
Speaker 6: to the bathroom, I was in the kitchen like it
Speaker 6: was just where I was, and so I was like, oh, well,
Speaker 6: there's like stuff here, there's and they would get everything
Speaker 6: for us and it was so devastating. But that fridge
Speaker 6: was full of dia coke and I drank almost all
Speaker 6: of them.
Speaker 3: Was this.
Speaker 1: Miss Masel, the marvelous Miss Masel show. I really loved
Speaker 1: that show. You wrote on it and you're like a
Speaker 1: producer of it, right, Yeah.
Speaker 6: I was a co producer last year for season four
Speaker 6: and then was writing on it for three and four
Speaker 6: and it was very, very fun. I such a huge
Speaker 6: loss when we went to Zoom rooms. I really missed
Speaker 6: room snacks.
Speaker 2: The snacks.
Speaker 3: I thought, you're gonna be like the Camra dree No no,
Speaker 3: no no.
Speaker 2: The access to unlimited free treats. That would be the thing.
Speaker 3: You know, you know what gets me every time those
Speaker 3: fucking why do they need to put famously amus cookies
Speaker 3: in those little chip bags?
Speaker 2: Like no one needs that.
Speaker 3: I know, every time I look at it, I'd be like, fine,
Speaker 3: but I swear to God, I don't really want this,
Speaker 3: but like that is the most satisfying in terms of
Speaker 3: a snack. Yes, useless slash satisfying office snack.
Speaker 6: They had like a bodega's amount of food in our kitchen,
Speaker 6: Like it was just like every and they would be like, oh,
Speaker 6: we're trying this new, like like popcorn, and we've got
Speaker 6: this new Like it was just like you know, obviously
Speaker 6: there was no end to the budget for that show,
Speaker 6: I would imagine. Yeah, so it was just like there
Speaker 6: was like you know, they had healthy they had like
Speaker 6: fruits and vegetables and stuff in the fridge, but then
Speaker 6: they also had just like every chip I've ever heard of,
Speaker 6: and like you could request like, hey, I tried one
Speaker 6: of these like a few weeks ago somewhere, could you
Speaker 6: get me a bag of them? They would get like
Speaker 6: fresh rice, Krispy trees. I was like, this place is hell.
Speaker 6: I gave it like twenty pounds when I was working there. Yeah,
Speaker 6: every room has like a weight fluctuation.
Speaker 1: And there was there was snack runners on hand.
Speaker 2: Yes truly, I know. I was like this is too much.
Speaker 6: This is too we're living We're living in in Caligula's
Speaker 6: cancel here.
Speaker 5: It's just you're just typing and someone's shoving it in
Speaker 5: your mouth.
Speaker 3: Yah ooh a seven layered fudge bar. Like, yes, there's
Speaker 3: it is. The more successful the show, the more intense
Speaker 3: the craft Service gets because they have the money and
Speaker 3: some people of the time, and it's just like, this
Speaker 3: is your I'll never forget. My friend this was I
Speaker 3: think late nineties, got cast on a show and it
Speaker 3: was on the Warner Brothers lot and I went.
Speaker 2: To watch and ninety watch them, yeah exactly.
Speaker 3: And she walked up to the craft service and there
Speaker 3: was a what looked like a big mechanics you know,
Speaker 3: almost like this big cabinet but of drawers but like
Speaker 3: silver and tall and roller wheels. And when she opened
Speaker 3: the drawers, each drawer individually, it was filled with different
Speaker 3: types of candy bars. And I was just like, this
Speaker 3: is what it's like. Like the five year old in
Speaker 3: me is like, we have to get a TV show job.
Speaker 6: Immediately, yes, And like I had come to Masel from
Speaker 6: like almost exclusively Comedy Central jobs, so where they're like
Speaker 6: you're gonna get one goldfish packet. You all share it
Speaker 6: and say thank you, and they're like and not just
Speaker 6: bankrupted viacom so.
Speaker 2: But please pass the goldfish.
Speaker 6: So like I was already like wow, like and we're
Speaker 6: you know, like you're getting lunch.
Speaker 2: There's like so many snacks.
Speaker 6: And then like I had net like once we went
Speaker 6: into production and there was crafty. The first day there
Speaker 6: was a fucking raw bar. Oh shit, I got like
Speaker 6: a lobster tale.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I think that that was public. I feel like I
Speaker 6: posted photos of it. Whatever, who cares? I don't work
Speaker 6: there anymore.
Speaker 3: Well, and also that's no, that is what starts to
Speaker 3: happen because everybody's making more money. Yeah, and then that's
Speaker 3: part of the flex of we actually did the thing
Speaker 3: everyone's trying to do and failing out, which is get
Speaker 3: a show to go for more than one season.
Speaker 2: It's it's the.
Speaker 6: Reward, yes, which is all anybody could possibly dream of
Speaker 6: right now. I can't imagine working on something that goes
Speaker 6: more than ten episodes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like huge accomplishment, just like even doing my
Speaker 2: like theater show.
Speaker 6: I'm like, this is like more viable than any television
Speaker 6: show that I worked in in late night cable, like yeah,
Speaker 6: it's so crazy.
Speaker 2: Oh TV so crazy? What is TV anymore?
Speaker 3: I know, so you but you don't work there. Now,
Speaker 3: you're like you're back trotting the boards. You're trying to
Speaker 3: break into Broadway.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm trying to.
Speaker 6: I'm I'd love to be the lead in Hamilton if
Speaker 6: they would just give me the show I never sees.
Speaker 1: Just start wearing a powdered wig.
Speaker 6: Yes, that's a good idea. I should just start wearing
Speaker 6: a powdered wig. Just manifest. Oh my god, add a
Speaker 6: powdered wig. This is how your show's going to change
Speaker 6: this week. And people keep asking, but everything else stays
Speaker 6: exactly the same. They're like, she made some interesting artistic choices,
Speaker 6: almost exclusively the powdered.
Speaker 1: Wig, never addressing it. No, that's hilarious.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm not.
Speaker 6: I just did a season of teenage Euthanasia Alyssa Nutting
Speaker 6: and Alison Leavy cartoon on Adult Swim. Just writing on that,
Speaker 6: and now I'm just kind of like diving back into
Speaker 6: like performance mode while I do this for a while,
Speaker 6: which is kind of like a nice change of pace
Speaker 6: from zoom rooms, which have been obviously I mean, I'm
Speaker 6: sure like everyone's going to get COVID now, so like
Speaker 6: there's that, but you know whatever, we'll figure it out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been a nice little vacation in between variants.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yes, we get to take our breaks.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Have you missed live performance so much? I had missed
Speaker 6: it so much. I really like there was a period
Speaker 6: of time where I was like, I guess I could
Speaker 6: like live without that, like it's kind of nice to
Speaker 6: just be home. But then like I got antsy, like
Speaker 6: week three of Lockdown and was like this is absolute
Speaker 6: pure hell. And then like and it's been like kind
Speaker 6: of learning you know, I guess what people call.
Speaker 2: Balance in your life. I've learned a little bit about it.
Speaker 6: So like I've been like, oh, I don't have to
Speaker 6: say yes to like a bar show in Brooklyn on
Speaker 6: a Monday at ten. I don't have to say yes
Speaker 6: to that, like yeah, or Brooklyn Bushwick. I live in Brooklyn,
Speaker 6: but you know somewhere else. Yeah, that you can just
Speaker 6: kind of be like, oh, I'm going to perform on
Speaker 6: my terms, which like feels and now I'm like doing
Speaker 6: this show like it's seven shows a week, it's six nights,
Speaker 6: and I'm just like, Wow, this is a real job,
Speaker 6: isn't it. This is not just like fuck around comedy.
Speaker 6: This is like a real show up and do your
Speaker 6: stupid show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm always I've always said I need to learn
Speaker 5: to start saying no to shit. But but I almost
Speaker 5: said no to this life changing festival and I'm glad.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I don't know when to say yes or no. Yes,
Speaker 1: you do.
Speaker 2: You just have to do it decision by decision.
Speaker 1: That's right.
Speaker 3: You can't know it all in one moment, and also
Speaker 3: you can be wrong. So I think it's like it's
Speaker 3: that thing where I love the idea that you get
Speaker 3: to do, Allison, like a stand up theater show, because
Speaker 3: it's a it's it's almost like a refinement of something
Speaker 3: you've already crafted and worked on for a long time.
Speaker 3: And it is that thing of just like, what are
Speaker 3: all the different versions of the thing I do that
Speaker 3: I can explore? Because that's the to me, that's like
Speaker 3: really satisfying. And I just to me, I just fucking
Speaker 3: love the theater New York. You're you're off Broadway in
Speaker 3: New York. What's up by my five? Just like cute
Speaker 3: little theater in the West Village. It like attracts like
Speaker 3: comedy crowd, but also a theater crowd. So it's just
Speaker 3: like the audiences are smart. I don't have to sit
Speaker 3: around with like a bunch of comics I don't know,
Speaker 3: or like before this show starts, you know.
Speaker 2: You get there and you're like this asshole, what's his
Speaker 2: name again? You know it's always.
Speaker 6: And then you're like, hey, man, how's it going. He's
Speaker 6: like you know, and I'm like, god, this sucks. So
Speaker 6: it's just like me and my little crew, and you know,
Speaker 6: it's a nice and then we drink all of the
Speaker 6: diet coke and then I go on stage and I'm
Speaker 6: just like, hi on diet coke, and it's loveless.
Speaker 2: It's all on your term.
Speaker 3: You're staring into that Broadway mirror with the light bulbs
Speaker 3: all around, just staring into your own face, drinking diet
Speaker 3: drinking diet.
Speaker 6: Coke and looking myself in the eye and being like,
Speaker 6: it's okay, it's good for you.
Speaker 2: There. We're diets in it.
Speaker 3: And then slowly you lower the powdered wig onto your
Speaker 3: head and you're like and I'm ready.
Speaker 2: For and they're like Alison five, and you're like, thank
Speaker 2: you five.
Speaker 6: And then and then you start rapping. I could read
Speaker 6: an abortion rap show. I'd really be making hope.
Speaker 1: At the end of this there's at least a couple
Speaker 1: hip hop numbers.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would expect that by the end of six weeks,
Speaker 6: I'll have a handful of those.
Speaker 2: It'd be weird if I didn't.
Speaker 3: You please please allow for the ten minute freestyle a
Speaker 3: portion of the end of your show, so you can
Speaker 3: build that act.
Speaker 1: Take suggestions and your show. I don't think we've said
Speaker 1: the name of your show yet.
Speaker 6: Oh God, it's called oh God, a show about abortion,
Speaker 6: would say, I love that. It used to when I
Speaker 6: was just running it around town, like at Union Hall
Speaker 6: and just kind of like at other spots in New York.
Speaker 6: I used to call it, oh God, an Hour about
Speaker 6: Abortion because it was an hour show, and the idea,
Speaker 6: of course, with the tone of the title being like,
Speaker 6: oh God, no one wants to hear this, and then
Speaker 6: it's like kind of a very light touch, right.
Speaker 5: Well, it's disarming to name it that. It's it's it's
Speaker 5: attractive to name it that.
Speaker 6: And then when it went to the theater, I was like,
Speaker 6: oh God, are they going to make me change the title?
Speaker 6: Because like that's a big word to put on the
Speaker 6: front of a marquee and everything, like oh god, yeah
Speaker 6: and uh and they were like, yeah, there's a word
Speaker 6: we need to change. And I was like, here we go,
Speaker 6: abortion camp be in it. And they were like, so
Speaker 6: the word hour. And I was like that's the problem.
Speaker 6: You're like, get it.
Speaker 2: I don't care call it a show.
Speaker 1: I don't in at seventy five minutes.
Speaker 6: They were like, hour is just very stand upy, and
Speaker 6: we want to make sure that this is not like
Speaker 6: exhaustive to the stand up round.
Speaker 2: And I was like, I was like an abortion. They
Speaker 2: were like, yay, that's great. I was like, phew, that's awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 2: well go if.
Speaker 3: You are in the New York or Tri state area,
Speaker 3: please go to the Cherry Orchard Theater.
Speaker 2: Cherry Lane, Cherry Cherry Lane, The.
Speaker 3: Orchard is a play that would be at Cherry and
Speaker 3: ords have lanes of trees.
Speaker 2: Oh all right, cool, yeah, that's right, yeah, cheer.
Speaker 1: I was reaching.
Speaker 2: And you're running through just.
Speaker 6: Because this might sure it's it's already opened obviously through
Speaker 6: June fourth for now, and then you know a fingers
Speaker 6: crossed for an extension or a second run or something
Speaker 6: like that, so amazing. I'm sure this will be still
Speaker 6: topical every single day, so hopefully people will come see it.
