Speaker 2: My name is Chris.
Speaker 1: Fairbanks and my name is Karen cle Garaff.
Speaker 2: We are I just came from a long drive down
Speaker 2: a long and winding road. How many every day? Is really?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, it's just a starter. You know, I warm up,
Speaker 2: you know I love show Horrified Dumb.
Speaker 1: She's one of my favorites.
Speaker 2: Especially when she teams up with Kid Rock.
Speaker 1: How many hours from labor?
Speaker 2: A horrifying drive. It was cartoonishly windy, and then clouds
Speaker 2: of fog would make it where I had just stop
Speaker 2: and pull over because I couldn't see the edge of
Speaker 2: the road.
Speaker 1: Holy shit.
Speaker 2: And I was headed up to this max fun con
Speaker 2: thing and uh and then all of a sudden, I
Speaker 2: took a left and you're just above the fog and
Speaker 2: it was sunny and beautiful. Oh, it's a lake on
Speaker 2: top of It's like a lake at five thousand feet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's cool. And it's all kind of fake German.
Speaker 2: It was kind of Germany.
Speaker 1: Yeah, who doesn't love that?
Speaker 2: I guess you certain people, certain people have memories about
Speaker 2: certain factions.
Speaker 3: It's true.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But how long was the drive?
Speaker 2: Totally?
Speaker 3: Is?
Speaker 2: I just I just sped back and got here just
Speaker 2: in time.
Speaker 1: Just I just want a number of how many hours
Speaker 1: the drive?
Speaker 2: The drive up there was two and a half. The
Speaker 2: drive down was an hour and forty.
Speaker 1: Okay, but in scary weather conditions, in a dangerous marine life.
Speaker 2: Scooby doo, clouds of fog just coming in right in
Speaker 2: front of me.
Speaker 1: I thought you were calling me, Scooby, Scooby do.
Speaker 2: I will tell let me tell you something, scoobs row,
Speaker 2: does that ring any bells?
Speaker 1: One of the best jokes I ever wrote was in
Speaker 1: high school. I was sitting with my best friend Patti
Speaker 1: Riley and her humongous family at a big table at
Speaker 1: a Chinese restaurant in San Francisco, and we started talking
Speaker 1: about Scooby Doo because we had all watched it every
Speaker 1: day after school our whole lives, and so we were
Speaker 1: going this was the mid eighties, so this wasn't hacky
Speaker 1: back then, and we were just going through all the
Speaker 1: Scooby Doo tropes of why does velm always lose their
Speaker 1: glasses white, blah blah blah, And I said, my friend
Speaker 1: Patty had three older sisters and uh no, sorry, two
Speaker 1: older sisters and a younger sister. But there her two
Speaker 1: older sisters were like two of the coolest girls that
Speaker 1: went to our high school, and so of course I
Speaker 1: had to show off because I wanted to be popular too.
Speaker 1: And so my observation about Scooby do is they always
Speaker 1: they're always running down the exact same hallway, so no
Speaker 1: matter where they are, it's picture plant, picture plant. And
Speaker 1: it made her sister, Debbie spit her drink all over
Speaker 1: this huge circular table we were at because.
Speaker 2: She never really she noticed that but didn't really.
Speaker 1: Remember that it got her. It got her good, and
Speaker 1: it was I think it was my first official spit take,
Speaker 1: and so you know I'll always have a place in
Speaker 1: my heart for Scooby Doo.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if it causes your first big laugh with a
Speaker 2: spit tag, thanks guys.
Speaker 1: My first big laugh doesn't take away anything from you.
Speaker 1: So there's no reason to be sad.
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't mean to get jealous what happened. I
Speaker 2: don't know that I've ever caused a spit tag close.
Speaker 2: Then they just have to turn away and swallow.
Speaker 1: And one thing dribbles out there, one nostril.
Speaker 2: No, I made someone laugh to wear a baby carrot
Speaker 2: shout out what that felt pretty good? No, dangerously at
Speaker 2: a high.
Speaker 1: Velocity, like a like a carrot bullet.
Speaker 2: And I called that guy's salad shuder for a long time.
Speaker 1: Hold on, you're not saying a whole baby carrot.
Speaker 2: Maybe he took it was like a bit in halfating.
Speaker 1: He basically snorted.
Speaker 2: He no, just went to laugh, but his mouth was closed.
Speaker 2: So the carrot was like, fucking, I want, where's this
Speaker 2: door go? And it was a nostril. That's the thought
Speaker 2: process of the carrot.
Speaker 1: I think, I think, I think a carrot take is
Speaker 1: better than a spit take.
Speaker 2: He's a real carrot taker. I think the carrot taker
Speaker 2: is actually the phantom.
Speaker 1: What's this?
Speaker 2: Oh, there's always a phantom in Scooby Doo, and it
Speaker 2: was often a caretaker. Oh that's right, But I got you, carrot.
Speaker 2: That's just going back, calling back. I'm with you now,
Speaker 2: I'm warming up.
Speaker 1: I hear you.
Speaker 2: I've only had coffee.
Speaker 1: Come on, we do this. It's you need protein, you
Speaker 1: have to have it.
Speaker 2: Didn't have time. Don't always have time to do the basics,
Speaker 2: the basic life things like eating and sleeping. Just don't
Speaker 2: have time always going.
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm gonna give you a tip. They
Speaker 1: have these awesome things called seven eleven, and you can
Speaker 1: go in there and get protein anyhow.
Speaker 2: Not a lot of the stuff in there will I
Speaker 2: put in my body, you know, ma'am.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's right.
Speaker 2: You have my daily liquor intake. I'm pretty healthy.
Speaker 1: Did you liquer it up a lot?
Speaker 2: I liquered it up last night? Fun times, Yeah, it
Speaker 2: was fun. They had a dance party. Oh and you
Speaker 2: know there's a lot.
Speaker 1: Of and did you was Did you touch anyone's butt?
Speaker 1: Are you allowed to talk about it?
Speaker 2: I did not touch butts. There's no one's butt that
Speaker 2: I I mean, I'm not in the market for butt touching,
Speaker 2: got it.
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, Sorry, that's okay.
Speaker 2: But there was there was an undertone there that it's like, hey,
Speaker 2: that people are going to get laid tonight, and it's
Speaker 2: like it almost felt like a sexual get together retreat.
Speaker 1: Thing, like a key for comedy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jesse announced that years ago someone lost their virginity
Speaker 2: at max fun Con and then and then he felt
Speaker 2: a lot of power from that new in a jokey yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: he was kidding, of course.
Speaker 1: I kind of pictured him saying that wearing a cape. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like into a microphone. There's a huge crowd.
Speaker 2: It's like NPR type podcast fans. There's and a lot
Speaker 2: of fans of our podcast and they're really sweet and
Speaker 2: a lot of people. I wish you could have been
Speaker 2: there for some of the company.
Speaker 1: I was, you know, I was supposed to be there.
Speaker 2: But they aren't like partying people that are out clubbing.
Speaker 2: They're like hardworking people with jobs.
Speaker 1: I imagine there's a lot of graphic designers. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of librarians.
Speaker 2: Hmm, yeah, a lot of teachers.
Speaker 1: People who are proud to be smart.
Speaker 2: People that aren't getting together up in the mountains except
Speaker 2: on a normal basis. Yeah, and then they're all fucking you.
Speaker 2: You think people fuck it like a rave of some kind,
Speaker 2: because a lot of most hackey people would have gone
Speaker 2: with a bound chick type, right, which I'm glad you didn't.
Speaker 2: I hate. I mean, isn't it curious that when everyone
Speaker 2: does music from a porn it is a bound chick,
Speaker 2: a bound bound.
Speaker 1: Oh right, when there's sex happening in so many other
Speaker 1: music places like my EDM festival that I was just
Speaker 1: doing a song from.
Speaker 2: Yeah, people getting laid at guitar center.
Speaker 1: Now, let's hear what it sounds like in the background.
Speaker 2: Mirror. Should we talk about should we talk about how
Speaker 2: we have a guest today?
Speaker 1: I think we should. She's had to sit here and
Speaker 1: listen like she's not here for so long.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that's cutstoff. People do that, though, they develop
Speaker 2: a rapport and then they're like, our guest today is
Speaker 2: the terrific, hilarious. My good friend Lizzie Cooperman, Yeah, my
Speaker 2: friend to yeah, and also our friend.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it's okay, no, no, that sounded combative and it didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't mean it that way. It's just like I didn't.
Speaker 2: Want to speak for you. Maybe you guys had a
Speaker 2: tiff today.
Speaker 3: Let me just go over my personal histories.
Speaker 2: With both of you, Okay, idea, it'd be great. They
Speaker 2: aren't the same history, right, they.

Speaker 2: Yeah, And our good friend Andy Richie got in his
Speaker 2: face over it.
Speaker 3: Did he say?

Speaker 3: I love that?
Speaker 2: And Andy was just hanging out, No, he was, Ope,
Speaker 2: it was Andy and I was featuring and Frank Kellyando
Speaker 2: and the first night Andy got in his face about
Speaker 2: something that he blurted that I love it. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: was great, and so they didn't talk anymore for the best.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that was like maybe my first time, fourth
Speaker 2: time Firth. I'm gonna just clean up and start juicing
Speaker 2: right now. Though he kept inviting me to things. But
Speaker 2: after that, because I had Andy's back during that, I
Speaker 2: was like, yeah.
Speaker 3: That was pretty stood behind him and You're like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't really follow politics yet, but
Speaker 2: I will one day when it affects me.
Speaker 3: That's so funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I feel like I met you there and then
Speaker 3: time passed. Yeah, it was like a fast forward move.
Speaker 2: If you imagine pages of a calendar, Yeah, that's just
Speaker 2: peeling off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then here right, Do you didn't live in
Speaker 3: New York to do?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: I never Okay, did you live in New York?

Speaker 3: We were we lived together I think my closest friend
Speaker 3: there was Carmen Lynch.
Speaker 1: Oh, I know her. Yeah, she's the greatest.
Speaker 3: Yes, I love Carmen, So yeah, I think and then
Speaker 3: but yeah, I don't know. There's a fog over this relationship.
Speaker 2: It's clear, remember, yeah, it was just it's just a
Speaker 2: slow build to what we have today. Yes, you're a
Speaker 2: New York hiatus right right.
Speaker 3: But I remember seeing you and being like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: I've never seen anything like that. Like I remember when
Speaker 3: I saw you. I felt like you opened my mind
Speaker 3: to like new possibilities.
Speaker 2: I flobbing words and saying that I'm not good at this,
Speaker 2: but trying to get laps that way.
Speaker 3: I always remember the joke about the hair falling through
Speaker 3: the light that you do.
Speaker 2: I always think of your frog on a lily pad.
Speaker 2: Oh really yeah, yeah, that's that's your signature bit in
Speaker 2: my brain. Maybe you haven't mentioned that frog in years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, the frog of which I speak, Karen.
Speaker 2: No, it's a frog on a diplomatic frog on a
Speaker 2: lily pad with suspenders. I've created a different you know.
Speaker 1: I like.
Speaker 3: I like the idea of the frog and the little
Speaker 3: on the lily pad. It's slightly different, but it's like
Speaker 3: a frog butler flying a frog butler.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a real frog.
Speaker 3: Yeah, children's story. So there's always a frog in knickers
Speaker 3: who answers the door. And then I go through like
Speaker 3: the whole scenario of me having this frog as a butler,
Speaker 3: and how I want to like abuse this frog a
Speaker 3: little bit just because he's like kind of weak and
Speaker 3: like a little wet.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he has like knickers on and stead yes,
Speaker 3: kind of like be a tricks potter asque I think
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I always think of who are those Christmas frogs
Speaker 2: down by the bog playing the washboard tub whatever? You
Speaker 2: know what? There's sometimes I feel like my memories are
Speaker 2: just in my own head. But that was a thing.
Speaker 1: I mean I don't remember.
Speaker 2: Ain't no hole in my daughter's drug band Christmas, That's
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. What's that? It's a stop motion
Speaker 2: in a in a bayou bog situation, but it's Christmas.
Speaker 1: Can I look it up?
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's a stop motion animated and there's frogs.
Speaker 1: Because I was gonna say, I've seen those like frogs
Speaker 1: playing a stand up bass, but that was in a
Speaker 1: gift shop in Florida. There was no Christmas involved.
Speaker 2: I just know one of those songs. It's called Ain't
Speaker 2: no Hole in the wash tub.
Speaker 3: Oh wait, the frogs are playing stand up bass like
Speaker 3: in a window display.
Speaker 1: Well no, it's like little frogs made of shells, you
Speaker 1: know there. It's like choch keys that they sell in
Speaker 1: like tourist traps.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: Or sometimes they're dead frogs that they've stuffed and then
Speaker 1: shell act so that they just stand there and put
Speaker 1: like plastic eyes into.
Speaker 2: I don't like that because under that sillac, don't we
Speaker 2: have then a rotting frog.
Speaker 1: Well, the sillac enables it to just not rot.
Speaker 2: But if someone pokes a hole in the sillac coating
Speaker 2: oh that thing a smelly frog out, then you'll have.
Speaker 1: A zombie frog. And then it'll be more modern and
Speaker 1: you can be like, this is the walking dead frog.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you'll need a made frog to come
Speaker 2: and clean it all up.
Speaker 3: I feel like the frog.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Jim, it's moppets, I guess not stop motion.
Speaker 1: Like.
Speaker 3: I feel like the frog is easy to humanize because
Speaker 3: it kind of has like a real human body type.
Speaker 1: The frog.
Speaker 3: I feel like frogs do. They're like the apple shape
Speaker 3: because they have kind of like the big metal and
Speaker 3: like skinny legs.
Speaker 2: Fucking thumbs or am I just thinking of Kermit? They
Speaker 2: got fingers? Yeah, oh no they have I'm just thinking
Speaker 2: a Kermit, I think. I yeah, I've changed. They have
Speaker 2: little web they have little webbed hands, like yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: one day we will too.
Speaker 1: We keep evolving, We keep swimming, Yeah, just keep swimming.
Speaker 2: Tell us about your history with Karen here.
Speaker 3: My history with well, I feel like I feel like
Speaker 3: our history has had like twists and turns to it
Speaker 3: because we didn't always know each other very well, right,
Speaker 3: and then recently, I don't know, I feel like I'm
Speaker 3: not great at recounting, but.
Speaker 1: I mean nothing to her. Oh exactly. It's you know,
Speaker 1: it's because of Georgia. I think like we met each other.
Speaker 1: I know when I first met you, which was that
Speaker 1: comedy show at Highways, which was one of my very
Speaker 1: first stand up sets back after not doing stand up
Speaker 1: for five years, and I was like, didn't want to
Speaker 1: do it real bad, but I was like, you got it,
Speaker 1: Like you have to start because I knew it was
Speaker 1: going to be terrible. And it was at this weird
Speaker 1: theater out in Santa Monica that was that it was
Speaker 1: like three times longer than it was wide. And I
Speaker 1: had walked backstage and Lizzie was back there with her
Speaker 1: keyboard and there's probably four other youngsters back there with her,
Speaker 1: and I was wanted to die almost the whole time.
Speaker 1: And you were so nice and whoever the other girl was,
Speaker 1: I can't remember. I remember this now, yes, And it
Speaker 1: was just weird backstage. And as everyone was like talking
Speaker 1: and riffing with each other backstage, I was like, why
Speaker 1: am I doing this? I hate stand and calling me
Speaker 1: so much. And then you did your set and you
Speaker 1: sang the Marongo Casino song and I could not stop laughing.
Speaker 1: I was like losing my mind, Karen.
Speaker 3: I never I could never remember this exact night until
Speaker 3: now when you're saying, because I remember you walking in,
Speaker 3: and before you came in, everyone was like she writes
Speaker 3: on Ellen, and I felt like I got like nervous,
Speaker 3: and I was like, oh, like I felt like I
Speaker 3: wasn't communicating, but I was like, yeah, that's hilarious. Yes,
Speaker 3: now I remember.
Speaker 2: The nicest woman in comedy. You're nice to everybody that
Speaker 2: deserves a pushover Ealy if someone gives a guff I
Speaker 2: can shut down.
Speaker 3: I can shut down.
Speaker 2: I'll give you a little back.
Speaker 1: You don't shut down. I've seen you getting guff and
Speaker 1: give it directly back. That's when I knew. I was like,
Speaker 1: did you have older sisters?
Speaker 3: Saw me where? This is why I said twist and turns.
Speaker 3: I've always loved Karen and wanted to be like, there's
Speaker 3: something that you're like, I will become close to this person.
Speaker 3: You see Karen like as something like beautiful in the
Speaker 3: distance you are, You're like a wonder and where is
Speaker 3: this going?
Speaker 1: Where you just started crying?
Speaker 3: No, But like so I always was like I want
Speaker 3: to be friends with Karen, but I don't like, Yes,
Speaker 3: I never.
Speaker 2: That's what it is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would quite get to I acted on it.
Speaker 3: That's a real thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it took me a while.
Speaker 1: It's good that I realized that I'm not a mirage.
Speaker 1: I'm an oasis.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're You're a real thing. You're out there. People
Speaker 2: strive for you, but once they get to you, you're
Speaker 2: not just a whispy reflection caused by hot air hitting
Speaker 2: cold air. Right exactly, thank you. A lot of times
Speaker 2: I interrupt people to clarify their thoughts.
Speaker 3: No, I appreciate it because I was just like imagining
Speaker 3: this like black, beautiful black hair, like swirl in the desert.
Speaker 3: And then I was like, that's not Karen anymore.
Speaker 1: It's Madonna from the Ray of Light video. That's what
Speaker 1: you're really thinking of. And then I turned into a
Speaker 1: bunch of birds.
Speaker 3: So then we shared a room at George's wedding and
Speaker 3: that was like an electric time. I think we were
Speaker 3: both like in a raw place at that time.
Speaker 1: Well, I had just come back from my mom sooner
Speaker 1: all weekend and uh so, and it was at the
Speaker 1: Madonna Inn, which is this kitchy fain place.
Speaker 2: You've been there, I've driven by it and wanted to go.
Speaker 2: It's so on the way to Morongo. Hit it with
Speaker 2: the song.
Speaker 3: More Marongo check me out June twenty first of the Virginal.
Speaker 3: I plug it every five minutes. But yes, and it's
Speaker 3: very so it's already like a sensory experience.
Speaker 1: We were in the horse room. Yes, all horses all around,
Speaker 1: real horses. There was a what do you call it?
Speaker 1: A carousel horse hanging from the light fixture over the bed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like a large horse in kind of galloping pose.
Speaker 2: There is there was a light fixture that in Austin
Speaker 2: at the Drisco Theater where at Drisco Hotel, it's a
Speaker 2: haunted place, but there was a full on stuffed horse
Speaker 2: with a lamp shade on its head and a light
Speaker 2: in its head. There was that was a lamp.
Speaker 1: There, a full sized horse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's no one there. So I just went
Speaker 2: to a stranger and said, I'm so hungry I could
Speaker 2: eat a lamp. But it was a hard and he's like, oh,
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 3: And then he went back the next day and it
Speaker 3: was gone.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and cigar smoke was coming out of the painting
Speaker 2: of the old owner. That's what the thing is there.
Speaker 2: Cigar smokes come out there and you can smell cigar
Speaker 2: smoke for real. They're like, yeah, you can't smoke here
Speaker 2: that you can just always smell. I'm like they're pumping
Speaker 2: it out of the walls or something.
Speaker 1: Well, it would be a good draw. I would totally
Speaker 1: go there.
Speaker 2: It is across the street from the only place I've
Speaker 2: ever had a legitimate ghost experience. There's like this haunted
Speaker 2: corner in Austin. Yeah. No, I don't even want.
Speaker 3: To think about what was the other experience.
Speaker 2: Oh, I was across the street at Buffalo Billiards painting
Speaker 2: their windows for Christmas and many things. There was people partying, and.
Speaker 3: Is that part of your artist repertoire?
Speaker 2: What's that is?
Speaker 3: Painting windows like as well as you can draw, and.
Speaker 2: Especially in warm environments because you just paint, draw it out,
Speaker 2: paint a white bass with house paint and then just
Speaker 2: get as detailed you as you want.
Speaker 3: That's one of the most exciting things is to be
Speaker 3: eating in a restaurant suddenly, like during the holidays, like
Speaker 3: someone comes in paints on your window.
Speaker 2: It was fun to do that. I like doing it.
Speaker 2: It may put me in the spirit simple pleasure.
Speaker 3: I'm like, one of my greatest pleasures in life is
Speaker 3: a painted window.
Speaker 1: I need a stop and appreciate these pleasures.
Speaker 2: I just was hearing things and wind and peripheral things
Speaker 2: whipping by, and just more like feelings that someone was there.
Speaker 2: And then some guy came and said, hey, you're not
Speaker 2: locked in anymore. I'm an employee and I'm here now,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, no, there's people partying next door.
Speaker 2: And he's like, yeah, those noises and it had stopped.
Speaker 2: I'm like oh, And I looked in there and it
Speaker 2: was like cobweb old pool tables and boxes of Christmas ornaments.
Speaker 1: And you thought there was a fall on like I thought.
Speaker 2: They were decorating too. That's what made it more freaky,
Speaker 2: as there was Christmas ornament and I'd never looked in there.
Speaker 2: I just was hearing, yeah, a multiple, like thirty people.
Speaker 2: It was like a party.
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: And he said, yeah, I've heard that. I've I've seen
Speaker 2: a layer of dust on that table and I just
Speaker 2: touch it and it all rises. And there's a light
Speaker 2: under the stairs and I'll go shut the door because
Speaker 2: of the door opening would turn on the light and
Speaker 2: he'd go shut it and then go back to the
Speaker 2: bar and it's opening the lights on again. They all
Speaker 2: had stories and I'd never experienced anything. But I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: come to think of it, a stack of pint glasses
Speaker 2: fell over while I was painting, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 2: someone knocked over. Oh they're not there anymore. I just
Speaker 2: have to finish this painting. I wasn't really, I can
Speaker 2: just I love the idea of ghosts getting frustrated because
Speaker 2: I'm not. I just keep someone blew on my neck. Anyway.
Speaker 2: Along with this, Santa Claust's faces crooked.
Speaker 3: You just reminded me of a phrase. You didn't say
Speaker 3: this phrase, but a phrase I don't like is come
Speaker 3: to find out conversation. She was wearing a cowgirl outfit,
Speaker 3: come to find out?
Speaker 2: She was born and raised the Well, it is what
Speaker 2: it is. But at the end of the day, at
Speaker 2: the same old. That's when I hate same because people
Speaker 2: go same old, same old. Did you say mold, same old,
Speaker 2: same old, same old mole mole?
Speaker 1: Fine? Wait what sing like that? Do I hate? Hmmm?
Speaker 2: It is what it is, has to be.
Speaker 1: That's super lame.
Speaker 3: Oh. I got an argument with someone for describing her
Speaker 3: friends as pretty decent. I was like, really, I was like,
Speaker 3: do you miss being an Eyeland? She was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: it was pretty decent. I was like, do you miss
Speaker 3: her friends? Yeah, they're pretty decent. And I just got
Speaker 3: this Crawley feeling. Oliver, you like, what does it take
Speaker 3: to break the glass? How do we get past decent? Like?
Speaker 3: It was just everything. It was probably just I didn't
Speaker 3: like the person, honestly, but it's just like such a
Speaker 3: stifling feeling.
Speaker 1: It's like kind of saying I can't be impressed. Yes,
Speaker 1: either that or she just didn't have a good like
Speaker 1: like vocabulary or imagination or experience.
Speaker 3: Maybe I brought something up.
Speaker 2: How were your friends back at home? I give them
Speaker 2: about a six.
Speaker 1: They don't kill people, they're non murdering snooze vests. Although
Speaker 1: I can say on her behead, or who's from the
Speaker 1: Midwest or like a small town you know how like
Speaker 1: sometimes you just grow up. It's like whoever's your age
Speaker 1: and had their desk near yours? Those are your friends? Yes,
Speaker 1: Like maybe she realized when she got to a big
Speaker 1: city and had her pick. It was like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: like I don't hate them, but they weren't great.
Speaker 3: She was trying to say, that's an honest answer than
Speaker 3: I then like, yeah.
Speaker 1: I just want to figure out one way that you're wrong.
Speaker 3: But I need that.
Speaker 1: Look, I'm willing to look at.
Speaker 2: An oasis not so great to me. Yeah, if I
Speaker 2: think about it, If I think about my friends that
Speaker 2: from home that I start being friends with because they
Speaker 2: lived down the street or they were interested in the
Speaker 2: same thing. They were like skateboarders, I'd bet if I
Speaker 2: met them now it would be harder. I'd bet I
Speaker 2: wouldn't become friends with them really, because they're like shy.
Speaker 2: Now I'm like around people, they're more like outgoing. I
Speaker 2: call it my shy at home friends. Yeah, and they'll
Speaker 2: not friends with them, and it's impossible to replace those
Speaker 2: early friendships.
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's before you get big ideas in
Speaker 1: your head about what you need or what, like fame
Speaker 1: or those dumb things that like only now in my
Speaker 1: let's say early forties, but we should say mid forties.
Speaker 1: I just go like, oh, I don't even know why
Speaker 1: I wanted to do any of the stupid shit in
Speaker 1: the first place, Like when I you know, when I
Speaker 1: go back home, and then I'm like, I always wanted
Speaker 1: to write everything off as like small town and stupid
Speaker 1: and simple, where it's like, no, it wasn't any of
Speaker 1: those things. It's actually pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what's the coolest.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's what I needed to do to get out,
Speaker 1: yeah and rise up. Yeah right right.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: Also, in our hotel room, Lizzie and I had a
Speaker 1: bid day. I can't remember if I told you about
Speaker 1: that or not. Did I ever say?
Speaker 3: Aaron's nodding, Yes.
Speaker 1: We talked about it.
Speaker 2: No. No, I've stayed at the Madonna and they have
Speaker 2: those Japanese toilet seats.
Speaker 1: Yes, where shoe water up your They sure do. And
Speaker 1: it's warm water. So every time we would go in
Speaker 1: to use so it's like.
Speaker 2: Karen just wiggled her eyebrows warm water and then she
Speaker 2: walk walk a walk up with her eyebrows and then winked.
Speaker 1: Because it was just a funny, Like every time I
Speaker 1: used the bathroom, I would laugh at the end, and
Speaker 1: then Lizzie would hear me in the other room because
Speaker 1: it was just two rooms, but I would like, I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm using the bidet, and because it wasn't
Speaker 1: a separate thing.
Speaker 3: You were sitting on the toilet, going painting, plant painting.
Speaker 3: You were describing the Scooby Doo hallway every time you
Speaker 3: went to the bathroom.
Speaker 1: Every time. I just want that laugh back. But you
Speaker 1: press a little button like you could order what you
Speaker 1: wanted it the direction it goes right, right er, and
Speaker 1: you could get you could get it coming frontwards.
Speaker 2: Could hot or cool it down, like, oh that's too
Speaker 2: hot up there.
Speaker 3: I feel like it was warm the button on the wall,
Speaker 3: wasn't it.
Speaker 2: I want one so bad I can't even begin to
Speaker 2: tell you there. I'm one hundred percent on word with
Speaker 2: the days there with everyone using one get these stank
Speaker 2: asses out of here, I got. I think I'm quoting
Speaker 2: Martin Laurence.
Speaker 1: We need to be washing, they ask.
Speaker 2: Martin Lawrence got banned from Saturday Night Live because he
Speaker 2: just did stand up about women need to wash.
Speaker 1: They ass wash, they asked. And at one point he
Speaker 1: suggests that we put a mint up our ass, or
Speaker 1: put a mint up there. I think at the time
Speaker 1: I pictured he meant ass, but he probably meant pussy.
Speaker 1: But I remember watching that real time and going, this
Speaker 1: is absolute filth.
Speaker 2: Yeah, why do I have to watch this? And then
Speaker 2: the next day he was like in the street wearing
Speaker 2: garbage bags, fielding a gun.
Speaker 1: He went jogging in US in like a sweating suit,
Speaker 1: not a sweatsuit, but like an all plastic suits, the
Speaker 1: ones that you wear to sweat like way more than normal.
Speaker 1: Do you know those?
Speaker 2: I want to do that after I have a bad set.
Speaker 1: Especially sweat it all out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I ate on s and l let me what
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 3: Back to that weekend, everyone was talking about Mike Lawrence,
Speaker 3: and the whole time I thought they were talking about
Speaker 3: Martin Lawrence, And you were like, remember that's because it
Speaker 3: was so weird. I was like, why is everyone talking
Speaker 3: about Martin Lawrence? And I was like, oh god, Martin
Speaker 3: Lawrence is a fun like it was all nice. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's positive, positive things people were saying. And I was like, God,
Speaker 3: he's just in the zeit guy.
Speaker 1: He's back.
Speaker 2: I've always said that. But the first time I saw
Speaker 2: Martin Lawrence, I'm like, this guy's not going anywhere. He's
Speaker 2: here to stay. I said, yep, totally yeah.
Speaker 1: And the first time I saw Mike Lawrence, I was like,
Speaker 1: this is basically the same as Martin Lawrence. Yeah, it's repeat.
Speaker 2: Yep, same Skins game, same beard, same pro Wings.
Speaker 3: Yeah. But like, so we stayed in this room. There
Speaker 3: was like a weird electricity that we cank it was.
Speaker 3: There was a storm yep, so it was raining. We
Speaker 3: were in the surreal place. We were both emotionally raw, Yes,
Speaker 3: emotionally raw.
Speaker 1: You had to do a speech at the Oh my
Speaker 1: God ceremony. So we were doing some homework and we
Speaker 1: were talking about feelings and like being real and saying
Speaker 1: things that matter as opposed to doing comedy.
Speaker 2: Because you had just come off the heels of killing it.
Speaker 1: At of killing it at my mom's funeral, she murdered
Speaker 1: at it, and I had a real uh. I could
Speaker 1: have taught a learning x an X class about how
Speaker 1: to give a speech at a public event.
Speaker 3: Karen helped me so much because I was driving there.
Speaker 3: I had this plan, but it was like the way
Speaker 3: I would think about putting, you know, like I thought
Speaker 3: it needed like a concept. I was like, this has
Speaker 3: to be like a concept, but it didn't have to
Speaker 3: be that.
Speaker 1: And then I scream peel away the layers, peel away.
Speaker 1: And then we wrote some Yeah, some good stuff.
Speaker 2: You said helpful things and gave me tips before I
Speaker 2: publicly spoke on Conan. That helped a lot for real. Yeah,
Speaker 2: you're good at what.
Speaker 1: I don't remember that.
Speaker 2: Oh, I've forgotten at all. I'll need it again. If
Speaker 2: If and I ever do the show? Do you hate
Speaker 2: If and I ever? No, I love it.
Speaker 3: I feel like I've never even heard that before. If
Speaker 3: and I.
Speaker 2: If it's It's There's a line in uh in the
Speaker 2: Georgia Bailey Christmas What's Oh, It's Wonderful Life where everyone
Speaker 2: comes at the end and they all are pulling together
Speaker 2: money to bail them out, and a maid comes in
Speaker 2: and she says, my sister and I used to rewind
Speaker 2: it and watch it over and over until we understood,
Speaker 2: and finally subtitles spelled it out. I've been saving this
Speaker 2: money for a divorce if and I ever gets a husband,
Speaker 2: if and I ever, and I yeah, I'll need Karen
Speaker 2: to remind me of her words, if and I ever
Speaker 2: do Conan again, if and I ever, it's the.
Speaker 1: Word if with a comma apostrophe and that cowboy hat
Speaker 1: hanging off the end of the end, and then the
Speaker 1: RB's cowboy hat, and then I ever. But you know what,
Speaker 1: I remember what I said, I think, which is what
Speaker 1: I say to everybody who who's about to do something
Speaker 1: big that they get freaked out about.
Speaker 2: I thought it was special for me.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, it's not like a ton of people
Speaker 1: asking me that I said that. The feeling of nervousness,
Speaker 1: like that excitement and nervousness feel the same, and so
Speaker 1: you don't have to interpret it's the feeling that you're
Speaker 1: having as.
Speaker 2: A bad thing.
Speaker 1: Of course you're nervous, it's it matters to you. It's
Speaker 1: a big deal, that's why you're feeling it. But it's
Speaker 1: just as positive, like you don't have to interpret it
Speaker 1: as a negative, right.
Speaker 3: I feel like that would save a lot of people
Speaker 3: from alcoholism.
Speaker 1: If only I really do.
Speaker 3: I feel like a lot of people like get rid
Speaker 3: of this feeling if they were like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: I'm excited instead of having this like anxiety like people say,
Speaker 3: I go into the situation I can't be around people.
Speaker 3: Like what if they interpreted that as just being like
Speaker 3: on a hot like that was the high?
Speaker 1: Yeah, being nervous, Yeah, my mom. I actually got it
Speaker 1: from my mom the night before I taped the Bob
Speaker 1: Hope Young Comedian Special, which I taped when I was
Speaker 1: like twenty three or four, and everybody else on the
Speaker 1: Young Comedian Special was like Sue Kolinski, Margaret Smith, Paul Provenza,
Speaker 1: like comics who had done the Tonight showe ten times
Speaker 1: and then me and I was in my head. I
Speaker 1: was like, this is the ultimate situation where like I'm
Speaker 1: a fraud and it sticks out and everyone knows I
Speaker 1: shouldn't be here. And so I was in a full blown,
Speaker 1: white hot panic and I was talking to my mom
Speaker 1: on the phone and I was started crying and I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm so nervous, I'm freaking out, and she
Speaker 1: was like, of course you're nervous. It means a lot.
Speaker 1: It's this is a big deal, it means something. You
Speaker 1: should be nervous. But it's good to be nervous because
Speaker 1: that means it's important to you. That's how you know
Speaker 1: what's a big deal to you. Yeah, Like the goal
Speaker 1: should not be to not have feelings, right.
Speaker 3: I love that. I'm glad you called her.
Speaker 1: I know me too.
Speaker 3: My mom would have been like, shove it down and
Speaker 3: get out. There's kidding, smile and smile smile. Yes, hm wow. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I remember having a panic like that at New Faces
Speaker 3: many moons ago, and I remember my manager was like,
Speaker 3: why are you wearing that T shirt? She was like,
Speaker 3: I thought you were gonna wear a tank top and
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god. Like that those were
Speaker 3: like Epley's welcome.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's it was so bad.
Speaker 3: She was back stage and everyone was like what is
Speaker 3: she doing? And she's like, get your tits out there, seriously.
Speaker 3: It was I was. It was awful, and I wasn't
Speaker 3: ready to do it when it was like two thousand
Speaker 3: and seven. I was like, like scrounging together material.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I feel like I did that in three
Speaker 2: and I feel like I wasn't ready either. Really, I
Speaker 2: just went out there and I'm like, I'm not nervous
Speaker 2: until I got on stage and I'm like, yeah, I am.
Speaker 2: I can't have no thoughts in my head. And I
Speaker 2: just started talking about the night before because I had
Speaker 2: went up after Chad Danielson. We just like went to
Speaker 2: some weird eyes wide hut party in clowns picked pocketed
Speaker 2: him and he got his wallet back empty, but they
Speaker 2: bought his strengths, these clowns, these French clowns. It stole
Speaker 2: its wallet and then used the money in it, Tobias.
Speaker 2: And then so instead of doing my uh did I think?
Speaker 2: I did a joke, And then I just started talking
Speaker 2: about Chad and I the night before. What am I doing?
Speaker 2: You're weird showcase? Like a career thing. Everyone got a ballot.
Speaker 2: Oh he just blew it, okay. But the other.
Speaker 3: The second one was I remember I was doing like
Speaker 3: a documentary about the new Faces that year, and I
Speaker 3: remember he'd interviewed me and I was like saying these
Speaker 3: things like everyone has a Mozart and a soliary inside that,
Speaker 3: and I like tanked and he was like standing there
Speaker 3: waiting go Mozart.
Speaker 1: Like wait that just made me flash. Sorry, but that
Speaker 1: just reminded me that I got interviewed one time for
Speaker 1: a women in like a Women of Comedy and Television
Speaker 1: fucking thing. I don't even know. It was some documentary thing.
Speaker 1: I've never seen it.
Speaker 2: Also, yeah, he's documented.
Speaker 1: He loves to document. But no, this woman was asking
Speaker 1: me a questions and she's like, what do you think
Speaker 1: of women in TV right now? And I was like,
Speaker 1: I think women are carrying television right now, and she
Speaker 1: was well, what do you mean by that? And I
Speaker 1: was like oh, And then I just sat there for
Speaker 1: like seven seconds in silence, and all I can think
Speaker 1: of after was if I was an editor and I
Speaker 1: saw that, I would have cut that. That's the funniest
Speaker 1: thing to come out with this grandiest statement and then
Speaker 1: just have absolutely nothing to back it up or say
Speaker 1: about it. After it was just like I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm just talking. I don't ye on you like, this
Speaker 1: is what appearing on my upper lip.
Speaker 2: This is one piece of sweat on your lip.
Speaker 1: Women are absolutely carrying television right now. Well, how do
Speaker 1: you mean a lot?
Speaker 2: Ellan?
Speaker 1: I think that's what it was is. I was thinking
Speaker 1: of people like that. But all the shows had been canceled,
Speaker 1: so then I was just kind of like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: not them, well not not her, Oh yeah, Oprah, they're
Speaker 1: kind of getting ready and I don't like Alan McVeigh.
Speaker 1: Else I'm not gonna say not. That's one of those
Speaker 1: That's one of those ones that I think of like
Speaker 1: maybe every two years and I get a real bad
Speaker 1: like shiver, like, oh you weirdo.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I have those memories every day. You just flinch. Yes,
Speaker 2: why did I say that to my dad when I
Speaker 2: was twelve?
Speaker 3: Yes, I had one where yeah, or when they ask
Speaker 3: you a question that you're like, that's the last question
Speaker 3: I would ever want to answer. So tell me about
Speaker 3: your family. Are they supportive of what you do? It's
Speaker 3: like like yes, all down like a crazy, greasy black
Speaker 3: spiral hall.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: Because you don't want to be direct and say the
Speaker 1: thing you really want to say, so you have to
Speaker 1: you do a weird thing where you're dancing around what
Speaker 1: you should say, right, and it's blatantly obvious, And the
Speaker 1: more you say, the more you know it's blatantly obvious
Speaker 1: that that you're just being interact on purpose.
Speaker 3: Or you figure it out while you're talking, like yeah,
Speaker 3: like yeah, they were there for well, actually you know
Speaker 3: what like like like then starts sweating on the inside.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hot sweats on the inside.
Speaker 2: They were there. And then in the beginning in the middle,
Speaker 2: I think, well that was nine question that was I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: that was my friend's dad. Then the same glass it's frames.
Speaker 1: In the distance. It looks just like my dad.
Speaker 2: My neighbor was supportive, is what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: It reminds you of like when you first start doing
Speaker 3: stand up and people like, if something crazy happens in
Speaker 3: the room, call it out, And then you call it
Speaker 3: out and it fails, like why are you looking at
Speaker 3: me like that? And then you have nothing funny.
Speaker 2: To say about it. She's made everything worse.
Speaker 1: Yep, there's so many ways to learn in comedy. Yes,
Speaker 1: all by failing. Yeah, yes, so much failing. Oh man,
Speaker 1: we went to a comedy show the other night. I
Speaker 1: just am still shocked by how bad some people can, like,
Speaker 1: how great some people are, how terrible some people are,
Speaker 1: and how it still affects me as if it's my
Speaker 1: first week of doing stampap like the tear when a
Speaker 1: female comic gets on stage and only talks about fingering
Speaker 1: herself or sucking dick or whatever it is. And that's
Speaker 1: and she's doing like a fake character and then doing
Speaker 1: a bunch of those jokes in a row. It feels
Speaker 1: I become it's so crazy, like I don't want to
Speaker 1: not support. It makes me so mad that I'm being
Speaker 1: put into that position to not support a female comic.
Speaker 2: That's the best hackle ever. You should if somebody, why
Speaker 2: are you putting me in this musician to not support
Speaker 2: a female comedian.
Speaker 1: You are incredibly selfish and you're doing a solid disservice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then when someone's great, you're like you feel like
Speaker 1: it's the victory of a lifetime. It's just so crazy.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think it's real funny when girls talk about finger
Speaker 2: in themselves.
Speaker 3: Lizzy, I love it. I cannot get a well, that's
Speaker 3: what I.
Speaker 2: Thought you'd say. Morning Zoo, we are looking at traffic
Speaker 2: on the one ten.
Speaker 1: Chris's dream is to be a Morning Zoo tejay.
Speaker 2: You think so so finger yourself the New Ways app
Speaker 2: to get through some of that congestion.
Speaker 1: Nate, bring one of those fingers right over to.
Speaker 2: Ways, coming up back to classic been a while by
Speaker 2: staying apostrophe D.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like the best way for me to
Speaker 3: watch comedy is to not be performing on the show.
Speaker 2: I still like, I like watching shows. I'm glad that
Speaker 2: I haven't got im tire of that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, watching I feel like I was tuning it out
Speaker 3: for a while, Like if I'm on a show, I'm
Speaker 3: not paying a lot of attention to other people because
Speaker 3: I'm just like, yeah.
Speaker 2: Right right. So it's fun to when you're not on
Speaker 2: a show to give it your full attention.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and actually like enjoy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the position I was in because I wasn't.
Speaker 1: I went to watch April Richardson do a set that
Speaker 1: she was nervous to do, so I was like, I'll
Speaker 1: go with you.
Speaker 2: It was trouble Like I do say her last name Richard,
Speaker 2: April Richard, I go April Richardship. I just say it
Speaker 2: every time we my friend April Richardson. I can't something
Speaker 2: in the middle. They all make fun of me, but
Speaker 2: you just said it like I say, or like siblings rich.
Speaker 1: But also I think of jokes when I watch other
Speaker 1: and not topic related at all. When I watch other
Speaker 1: people do stand up, I think of things of my
Speaker 1: own toes, but that are not It's not like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm going to go to that premise but do a
Speaker 1: different joke. It's to different things, but it's almost like
Speaker 1: other people stand up reminds me of the way you
Speaker 1: can do things or something.
Speaker 3: That happens to me when I go to Lakhma.
Speaker 1: That's why I have to keep art around me at
Speaker 1: all times, because yeah, that does.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm thinking about Yeah, last night I did this
Speaker 3: like live sci fi podcast and uh, you know what,
Speaker 3: let's cut this in post strike.
Speaker 1: You don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 3: I know not. I started realizing as I was speaking.
Speaker 3: It was kind of like, yeah, my parents were no,
Speaker 3: my parents were not. They were no. I don't know
Speaker 3: why don't you ask them? One's dead?
Speaker 1: Can I just say that someone else mentioned this separately?
Speaker 1: Maybe it was Georgia your joke about and I don't
Speaker 1: think it's a joke. Joke you when you yell comedy photographer.
Speaker 1: The last time I saw you was at Vince's show.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and there's just a part where Lizzy is
Speaker 1: there an actual joke? You say comedy photographer. A bunch
Speaker 1: of times.
Speaker 3: I'm like, where's the comedy photographer? I want to like
Speaker 3: wake up with?
Speaker 2: Yeah, comedy like, where were we were? It looked like
Speaker 2: we were in the den. It was like the back
Speaker 2: of that restaurant. Vance's show and there was like it's
Speaker 2: packed enough to wear twenty five people. That makes it
Speaker 2: a full room, but it looks like some grandpa's hobby room.
Speaker 2: And when you said that, where's the comedy photographer? It
Speaker 2: was real fun And then Matt started taking photos. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was really funny fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's like a new thing. Well, because I always
Speaker 3: think about it, I'm like, why do I have to
Speaker 3: have all these gross pictures myself like expressing these Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: why not just one from down below?
Speaker 1: From the Yeah, always looking up. If you do a
Speaker 1: show at the Virgil, the angle is always the absolute
Speaker 1: worst because the stage is so high and it's so loud.
Speaker 1: Like I can't not comment on it. I'm obsessed with
Speaker 1: comedy photographers and the ones that like at Bridgetown one year,
Speaker 1: this is a while ago, a couple of years ago,
Speaker 1: it was the Ron Lynch show and there was like
Speaker 1: it was a good, good sized crowd, but there was
Speaker 1: this space between the crowd and the stage and Ron's
Speaker 1: on stage doing something in of course, absolute silence, and
Speaker 1: this girl comedy photographer is standing directly between the crowd
Speaker 1: and the stage taking one thousand pictures, and it was
Speaker 1: like it you just started watching her because Ron was
Speaker 1: further away and doing something quietly. I was like, sit
Speaker 1: the fuck. You've already got seventy five pictures of Ron.
Speaker 1: That's plenty right now, step aside and wait till the
Speaker 1: next person.
Speaker 3: Yes, this isn't like so you can go through it
Speaker 3: later and be like, this is the best one that
Speaker 3: I took during this Well, also.
Speaker 1: It was like this weird dance where she kept squatting
Speaker 1: and standing and doing all these like her own comedy
Speaker 1: photographer poses or I was like, you are not part
Speaker 1: of the show.
Speaker 3: Yes, And sometimes I appreciate it. I'm like, oh cool,
Speaker 3: someone took a picture from that show. It was a
Speaker 3: fun night. I have a memory. But at a certain
Speaker 3: point it's like, here are the pictures from last night
Speaker 3: and it's like a stop motion yes on my set,
Speaker 3: Oh my god, like different different horrified faces.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's just fat, fat, fat fat.
Speaker 3: Yes, I know that's the reason I put the like
Speaker 3: you have to approve it on your timeline or whatever.
Speaker 3: But then I was like, if I die, who's gonna
Speaker 3: like how am I going to get nice things said
Speaker 3: about me on my Facebook wall? I won't be there
Speaker 3: to approve it, but like there is that.
Speaker 2: You're right, you have to give someone my last thing
Speaker 2: as I'm like leaking on a kitchen floor or whatever
Speaker 2: has said undo that.
Speaker 3: Do that privacy setting.
Speaker 2: You got to get on Facebook, en I.
Speaker 1: Eat, Karen, this is your last I'll do it. I'll
Speaker 1: do it if you just give me power of attorney
Speaker 1: and then then I'll clear all your.
Speaker 3: Ship passwords in a safe or something, yes, and unlock
Speaker 3: it and be like this is the password is like
Speaker 3: dead c l K for the padlock. Yeah, and we'll
Speaker 3: get in there, we'll take out the password and we'll
Speaker 3: allow everything on the timeline.
Speaker 1: I honestly do need you guys to burn any notebook
Speaker 1: because I have like dressers full of old notebooks filled
Speaker 1: with like poems and shit. I need that gone after
Speaker 1: Are you sure? Yes? Well, you'll you read it.
Speaker 3: I want to sleep with them, make a Karen Clegareff quilt.
Speaker 1: They're not good. I think you'd be incredibly disappointed.
Speaker 2: Would remember when you approached me with the idea of
Speaker 2: your dream blanket? Yes, I'm sorry, I never I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Okay done. It was a really low point in my life.
Speaker 3: But no idea because the way that I came about
Speaker 3: was I was living with a Minneapolis comedian. We had
Speaker 3: a falling out, we broke up. I had no comforter.
Speaker 3: But I was in a production of six Degrees of
Speaker 3: Separation where the Master Builder I played the daughter. This
Speaker 3: was back in the day ice waiting. I still had
Speaker 3: it to pass as a brown student.
Speaker 1: Why aren't you wearing a tank to wear the tank top?
Speaker 2: Change? Change?
Speaker 3: God, that's sad. I remember I went out and I
Speaker 3: was like, I'm really depressed. And I was like, oh
Speaker 3: my god, why did I say that? I had been
Speaker 3: talking about the comedy is the truth? And then I
Speaker 3: was like, so why not tell the truth? I was like,
Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm doing here, Like I kind
Speaker 3: of just like came out with like some horrible truth
Speaker 3: that no.
Speaker 1: Thing, because that's what real comics do, that's what real
Speaker 1: comics do.
Speaker 3: That's so nice, it's true, that's not whatever. So anyway,
Speaker 3: so I slept with these big sheets of muslin. It
Speaker 3: was actually the Master Builder. Remember my sister directed this
Speaker 3: like multi media production of the Master Builder. She was like,
Speaker 3: I want one spoken word artist one dancer You It
Speaker 3: was Hilary I Love You, but it was a fucking disaster.
Speaker 3: There was a scene in this play where my sister
Speaker 3: was like, I want you to walk to the back
Speaker 3: of the theater. There's gonna be a mirror, and I
Speaker 3: want you to brush your hair and have an orgasm
Speaker 3: into the mirror. And it was the kind of thing
Speaker 3: where was in the back of the theaters over and I
Speaker 3: to like turn around and watch me. And I was
Speaker 3: wearing this like big flowy dress and my parents were
Speaker 3: there and there was supposed to be this like creepy
Speaker 3: guy standing behind. And then after the play, my parents
Speaker 3: like didn't say a word. It was like they were
Speaker 3: like that about every everything.
Speaker 2: It was all like I thought you were gonna say,
Speaker 2: they said, I'll have.
Speaker 1: To Really, he was always mad, and anytime we did
Speaker 1: I did something that my sister would come to me
Speaker 1: and be like, Dad's mad.
Speaker 2: You did that thing.
Speaker 1: Dad's mad. You were swearing, Dad's mad you did that dance.
Speaker 1: Or I was like, I don't know how to handle listen.
Speaker 3: To me too. I got in trouble after a band
Speaker 3: concert where I guess I was playing drums and I
Speaker 3: like whispered to someone during the concert, and after it,
Speaker 3: I was like, why won't my parents talk to me?
Speaker 3: I still have this memory and they would not speak
Speaker 3: to me at all, like in the mini vund in
Speaker 3: the right home. I was like what what? And then
Speaker 3: my sister was like, Dad said, you talked during the concert.
Speaker 3: They were so ashamed, and I was like what I didn't.
Speaker 3: But they never said anything. No Jewish but like really
Speaker 3: weird about stuff like that, like never, no, Like it
Speaker 3: wasn't There wasn't even like intermittent reinforcement.
Speaker 2: It was just like what if you were saying, what's
Speaker 2: the next song? Or do you have an extra read
Speaker 2: or something something important?
Speaker 3: I know I was with the band.
Speaker 2: They didn't get it amposed to.
Speaker 3: Be as I played. Chair tells over Richard, I love
Speaker 3: the timpany process. Did you really play that?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I love the power of the tympany and the symbol.
Speaker 1: They're very cool.
Speaker 3: So good?
Speaker 1: Did you play both?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I did all percussion stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah you held down a whole percussion.
Speaker 3: Okay, but but I did, like learn every instrument. I
Speaker 3: loved it. Yeah. I love drums, but.
Speaker 2: Can you fully just play a drum if there's a
Speaker 2: drum kit. Can you just start?
Speaker 3: Because my thing was my parents were like, are you
Speaker 3: going to quit? And I was like, no, I'm not
Speaker 3: going to quit. I promise I'll stick with it. So
Speaker 3: they brought me a snare drum to start, and I
Speaker 3: was in a play or like a scene in like
Speaker 3: a high school acting class where I needed a drum.
Speaker 3: I left my snare drum at school overnight and someone
Speaker 3: stole it, and I never wanted to tell my parents,
Speaker 3: so I just said, yeah, I'm not into it anymore.
Speaker 3: My drum is at school. Like I felt bad that
Speaker 3: the drum got stolen. And then when I did The
Speaker 3: Artist's Way, there's a part where it's like a twelve
Speaker 3: week program for blocked artists. There's like a part where
Speaker 3: it's like take a creative view, turn and make it
Speaker 3: a straight line. Take something like you have to kind
Speaker 3: of go deep, and so I was like, I'm going
Speaker 3: to take. So I ended up taking Afro Cuban and
Speaker 3: Caribbean drumming class in Minneapolis, and I was in a
Speaker 3: parade and everything, like I played drums like in a parade,
Speaker 3: and I was like this is so great. I healed
Speaker 3: it nice as an adult, when was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you were already a comic that was ten years
Speaker 2: ago or so.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, did you a parade, Chris?
Speaker 2: I saw it. No, wait, were you wearing that like jumpsuit?
Speaker 2: That was me slippers in a Viking helmet. I loved you.
Speaker 3: But the sheet things. Back to the sheets. So I
Speaker 3: was sleeping with these pieces of muslin and I started
Speaker 3: writing my dreams down on them in black sharpie, and
Speaker 3: they became these big like dream sheets. I have three.
Speaker 3: They're really vague, and at a certain point people were like,
Speaker 3: you should try to sell these, like this could be
Speaker 3: a thing, and I was like, yeah, I guess you
Speaker 3: could sell it like in a kit, like a sheet
Speaker 3: that you could write your dreams on. What would be like, yeah, sorry,
Speaker 3: this is copywritten, by the way, So no, no, it's
Speaker 3: allowed to steal this because I think this is a
Speaker 3: great idea. It is I've already patented it. Great.
Speaker 2: It's like you're on Shark Tank. I'm in.
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you fifty percent.
Speaker 3: Yes, I've already patented.
Speaker 2: In one condition. The sheets come with categories like bizarre, motivational,
Speaker 2: different kind of dreams, and you put you wake up
Speaker 2: and you put it in the right category.
Speaker 3: Well, these are actual dreams, sleep dreams.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm out. I'll give you thirty percent. I've never
Speaker 2: I don't have them, so I feel like my brain
Speaker 2: isn't all.
Speaker 3: I want to show a picture, but like if you
Speaker 3: if you read them, they're terrified. Like I was going through.
Speaker 3: It was like, you know, I shake my mother, but
Speaker 3: she's a dummy on fire and I can't wake her up. Like,
Speaker 3: and I'm sleeping with that these sheets. But they were
Speaker 3: my comforter and then.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's something to that sleeping underneath those words.
Speaker 3: Yes, And I always thought, like, you know what, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna save my inventions for.
Speaker 1: Something else, for non podcasting anytimes.
Speaker 3: I always want words everywhere though, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that idea. I just didn't know what
Speaker 2: I would add to the design of them. They'd have
Speaker 2: to be paper like, kind of scratchy sheets, right, yeah,
Speaker 2: thread count on these, well, they're actually made of almost
Speaker 2: notebook papers.
Speaker 1: So I can't get to sleep. I've insomnia now, But
Speaker 1: I know what all my dreams are. Although I did
Speaker 1: have a dream the other Night's hard to interrupt you,
Speaker 1: but it just hit me that all of my front
Speaker 1: bottom teeth were rotting out and just so one by
Speaker 1: one I would touch one and they would go crazy
Speaker 1: loose and I would pull it out.
Speaker 2: That's every other dream I have. It's my teeth falling out.
Speaker 3: I've read that that's a fear of pregnancy thing. Really, Yeah,
Speaker 3: there was a dream interpretation book that I read that
Speaker 3: linked that to pregnancy.
Speaker 2: Oh weird, So I think I've gotten someone pregnant. I
Speaker 2: just feel like I am grinding my teeth.
Speaker 1: I think I'm definitely.
Speaker 2: I wake up and I like, go, oh, yep, I
Speaker 2: think my teeth are loose. It's not like, oh, I
Speaker 2: think I just made a baby.
Speaker 1: I wake up with mouthfuls of tooth powder. But from I.
Speaker 2: That's the most horrifying thing you've ever said. I know
Speaker 2: I got a tooth cloud.
Speaker 1: But I wish you could see the picture of my
Speaker 1: horrible because they have you seen Shane McGowan's teeth, the
Speaker 1: lead singer of the Pogue, So he has a crazy terrible.
Speaker 2: He just got him fixed.
Speaker 3: I know he got him Visilne, No, he got.
Speaker 2: They He had like one anchor tooth up front and
Speaker 2: they just attached Yeah, some dentures to the anchor to
Speaker 2: the anchor.
Speaker 1: Tooth by Lizzie.
Speaker 3: What if my dream interpretations were just to bait you
Speaker 3: to confess things. Tell me, Karen, are you pregnant? I
Speaker 3: hear them that dream.
Speaker 1: I guess I am pregnant when I come to think
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 3: But yeah, so I think I wanted. My idea was
Speaker 3: that it would maybe look like notebook paper at the time,
Speaker 3: trying to think of a concrete design.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, maybe that would be like yelling.
Speaker 3: Almost like thirty times never heard back.
Speaker 2: I was in a dark place of being. I was busy.
Speaker 2: I don't remember, but he.
Speaker 1: Was grinding his teeth at home.
Speaker 2: I'm still but.
Speaker 3: Someone was like, you should talk to Chris Fairbanks, because.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just thought anytime someone asked me to do
Speaker 2: anything like a logo, even or I'm like, I want
Speaker 2: to just say, I'm just pretty much draw things, illustrations.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't know how to form it, like to do
Speaker 2: the sheet thing. I don't know. That's so big, it's
Speaker 2: bigger than all of us.
Speaker 1: I tell you my idea for she, well, your sheet
Speaker 1: should otherwise your feet will stick out they are. There
Speaker 1: should be enough room for all three of us.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and your grandparents.
Speaker 1: I had, just like Charlie Buckett you. I was on
Speaker 1: a really, really boring date one night at Fred's sixty
Speaker 1: two on Vermont, and we had.
Speaker 2: Gotten the movies Romantic.
Speaker 1: We went to the movies, and then we went to
Speaker 1: this diner, thank You, and I was sitting there and
Speaker 1: I was so tired and so bored of this guy
Speaker 1: that I was dating, and I ordered like eleven thirty night,
Speaker 1: and I'd ordered pancakes, and when the waitress came and
Speaker 1: put the pancakes down in front of me, I immediately
Speaker 1: had It was almost like a hallucination. I had this
Speaker 1: vision of a tiny version of myself climbing down out
Speaker 1: of myself and onto the plate and into the pancakes,
Speaker 1: and then just pulling one pancake like a sheet over
Speaker 1: my shoulder and turning over.
Speaker 2: And going to sleep back when you were drinking No, but.
Speaker 3: I Karen, that is beautiful.
Speaker 1: And then I was like, I want to make pancake sheets.
Speaker 1: And then I told my friend Robert Lee, who was
Speaker 1: the prop master at Ellen, who couldn't truly and legitimately
Speaker 1: make anything anything, which we made him a half an
Speaker 1: hour before the show started one time, make us a
Speaker 1: melted Richard Simmons, And he did it. It was crazy,
Speaker 1: and he was so mad at me, but he did it.
Speaker 1: But I went to him and said, I had this
Speaker 1: vision last night, and he was like, I can make
Speaker 1: you those, and literally he had a whole plan of
Speaker 1: how he was going to make me pancake sheets. Really,
Speaker 1: but I wanted them. I don't think he understood what
Speaker 1: I meant because I wanted one humongous pancake to get
Speaker 1: into or two.
Speaker 2: Actually pad butter pillow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, that's exactly right. But I wanted them. I
Speaker 1: wanted them real. Of course, you would want a butter
Speaker 1: to put your head right on.
Speaker 3: But saw a white noise machine.
Speaker 1: Don't we all see it? It would be so warm,
Speaker 1: they'd be like hotcake, hotcacakes.
Speaker 2: Just in aunt Jemima auscill fan coming out of her
Speaker 2: open mouth, her teeth. It's a propeller and as.
Speaker 1: You pull that top sheet over your shoulder, you just
Speaker 1: go no, no not and you eat those pancakes. Sleep, Oh,
Speaker 1: wipe it on your pit pat of butter pillow, hold
Speaker 1: it under the fan for a little bit syrup.
Speaker 2: I ended up being an inspiring date.
Speaker 3: It is interesting, like thinking of how the furniture, just
Speaker 3: everything we use, like how it came to be h
Speaker 3: how did it come to be? I was sitting in
Speaker 3: therapy the other day in the waiting room and talking
Speaker 3: to my therapy bird. No, but I was I was looking.
Speaker 3: I was looking at a chair, and I was like,
Speaker 3: why do we sit in there? Like I thought it
Speaker 3: was like when I wanted a therapy And he was like,
Speaker 3: what's on your mind? I was like, honestly, I was
Speaker 3: just wondering, like why do we sit in chairs? And
Speaker 3: I was like, wow, I'm paying a lot to ask
Speaker 3: about the evolution of furniture textiles.
Speaker 1: Did he have any answers for you? Well?
Speaker 3: I realized that what I was really thinking about was death.
Speaker 3: I don't remember how I came to that, but I
Speaker 3: was like, I was sitting there thinking, how do we
Speaker 3: know how we want to live our lives? How do
Speaker 3: we know this is the best way to set? And
Speaker 3: am I just gonna how much of my time am
Speaker 3: I going to spend in that chair?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: That's gonna result.
Speaker 2: When we all know it's more comfortable to lay flat
Speaker 2: under the dirt. That's what this is about.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you rather be in a casket than a chair?
Speaker 2: Ultimately, like when you go.
Speaker 3: To someone's house and You're like, there's so many throw
Speaker 3: pillows and like how did that? Oh?
Speaker 1: No, come on, people who their real beds have like
Speaker 1: five pillows deep, like you know how the pillows go
Speaker 1: halfway down the bed. I just that is a person
Speaker 1: that I have no idea what their life is like,
Speaker 1: because my life is exact opposite of five pillows deep.
Speaker 2: Perfect.
Speaker 1: Why is it you?
Speaker 3: No, I don't have five pillows deep. I have four
Speaker 3: pillows and then one decorative. But I use it for
Speaker 3: other things as well.
Speaker 1: But do you want to say what that thing is?
Speaker 2: I'd rather not. I might bail you out. I have
Speaker 2: a pillow just for folding in half and putting between
Speaker 2: my knees.
Speaker 3: Really, oh, I see.
Speaker 1: But not in a dirty way.
Speaker 2: There is a japan animation character and a hole in it. Now,
Speaker 2: I just like my hips are weird, and so I
Speaker 2: like to put cam a pillow in there, right memory
Speaker 2: phone fold it like together. It feels great right to
Speaker 2: sleep if I put a pillow in there, I'm just
Speaker 2: just kicking and kicking and screaming all night.
Speaker 3: When I was a house cleaner, a maid, I clean
Speaker 3: this one woman's house. Her name was Francoise, and she
Speaker 3: had a very romantic bedroom. Like everything was like a
Speaker 3: rud She was like like waiting, always waiting for her
Speaker 3: husband to come home from business. But the pillows they
Speaker 3: were like these like silk like for me. They were
Speaker 3: for me. They would be the biggest turn off because
Speaker 3: you felt like there's nothing just very vaginal about like
Speaker 3: all these pink and red just like circular, you know,
Speaker 3: uh fluffy, like you like going into a space where
Speaker 3: they're like this is romance like.
Speaker 2: This, Yeah, you're just describing what has to be on
Speaker 2: a rotating heart shape.
Speaker 3: Yes, and like a vanity with like a golden hair brush.
Speaker 2: It was like that kind of like van of White's
Speaker 2: childhood bedroom, or.
Speaker 1: Like the scene from foul Play where Dudley Moore, remember
Speaker 1: do you remember foul Playing? The best movie ever? I
Speaker 1: remember to remember Dudley Moore the Goldiehuns like take me
Speaker 1: home because it's because the Albinos following her and they
Speaker 1: go into his house and you pull it's the best movie.
Speaker 1: He pulls down the Murphy bet Like she goes into
Speaker 1: the bathroom to check out the window to see if
Speaker 1: this guy's still following our and meanwhile he pulls down
Speaker 1: all these things and he has this bachelor pad. That's
Speaker 1: it's so you have to see it because it's like
Speaker 1: a slice of seventies life where you're like, people did this,
Speaker 1: It's crazy.
Speaker 2: Isn't there a little of a guy that was in
Speaker 2: a lot of movies back then on a little person? Yeah,
Speaker 2: that was Balbd.
Speaker 1: Billy his name is Billy. I do we foul Play
Speaker 1: is a movie. So my friend Janet Nielsen's father ran
Speaker 1: Nielsen freight lines and so because of that they had
Speaker 1: everything first. So the Nielsen's had a VCR in nineteen
Speaker 1: seventy six. What yes, So her mom would videotape movies
Speaker 1: for us and edit out the dirty parts so we
Speaker 1: could watch anything. We watched ten, We watched foul Play.
Speaker 1: We watched all these movies that were on TV when
Speaker 1: we were like in first grade.
Speaker 2: A twenty minute version of Clockwork Orange.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's mostly about the furniture.
Speaker 2: That's yeah.
Speaker 1: We got to watch all those movies because she didn't
Speaker 1: have to worry about it. And we watched the Sean
Speaker 1: Cassidy TV special, which was amazing. But anyway, what a
Speaker 1: hard throb?
Speaker 3: Oh romantic? Have you ever been on to someone's like
Speaker 3: do you think bedrooms? Have you ever been to a
Speaker 3: surprise bedroom where you get there and you're like, this
Speaker 3: is not what I expected at all. You go home
Speaker 3: with somebody and I don't even mean like in a
Speaker 3: romantic way, but you just watch and you're like, I
Speaker 3: had no idea that like this would be your aesthetic
Speaker 3: kind of Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's usually in the way it's like, oh wow,
Speaker 2: you're funny and it's interesting. Why is your room so boring?
Speaker 3: That?
Speaker 1: I always had that feeling of if a guy's bedroom
Speaker 1: is decorated a little too much, like if say the
Speaker 1: comforter matches the curtains, I'm just like goodbye. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: If there's if there's a thing where it just seems
Speaker 1: like there's a lot of thought in me in the
Speaker 1: design an organization of a room's Deckore. Yes, I just
Speaker 1: am like, I don't.
Speaker 2: Guy's gonna snap at me. It's gonna like say no, no, no,
Speaker 2: never know, don't put it.
Speaker 1: There, don't put it there. Coasters, yeah, either that or.
Speaker 2: A purple pillow. Purple.
Speaker 1: He just likes me. He likes me, and it's fag haggyway.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I dated someone. I went to his house and
Speaker 3: I was like, what are these orange chairs? These like
Speaker 3: Orange designer. I was like taken aback by it. And
Speaker 3: then he was like, oh, I had someone help me
Speaker 3: with this room, Like he had someone help him so
Speaker 3: it would look more presentable.
Speaker 2: And you had help with this. Now this is.
Speaker 3: It's just like but there was something kind of nice
Speaker 3: and adult about that, like, Okay, he could see that,
Speaker 3: you know he wanted he wanted it to be a
Speaker 3: more welcoming place for people and needn't know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess that's put some effort.
Speaker 2: Into think when I show people my area, I just
Speaker 2: point out the things that I will defend and the
Speaker 2: rest is that painting's cool, my dad made that. Well,
Speaker 2: the rest of yeah, make a claw, yeah, yes.
Speaker 3: Is he a clockmaker?
Speaker 2: He made furniture for a little while. There was like
Speaker 2: a year where he's an upholsterer, a radio guy, and
Speaker 2: then furniture maker. But it was like it was all
Speaker 2: about death. It was all in the end.
Speaker 3: It all is.
Speaker 2: Re upholstered the inside the caskets. No, No, I think.
Speaker 1: I'd like to restate then if I see too many textiles,
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about, Prince. If we're going with
Speaker 1: the tapestries, yes, if there's wallings, if there's ever a
Speaker 1: kimono anywhere. Just I'm just saying, to keep.
Speaker 3: Your eye out a tapestry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd like people to be concerned and focused on
Speaker 1: other things besides you know, yes, matching uh, matching textiles. Right,
Speaker 1: maybe that makes me a bad person.
Speaker 3: Well, reserve judgment, thank you you. Yeah, it seems a.
Speaker 2: Therapy about that therapy bird got me for twenty minutes
Speaker 2: if you remember saying it, because it's.
Speaker 1: Pretty much the best.
Speaker 3: This is nice.
Speaker 1: Are we done?
Speaker 2: Guys?
Speaker 3: This is nice.
Speaker 2: We're at the conclusionary times.
Speaker 1: Just put out her hand in both of us like
Speaker 1: she's like.

Speaker 3: drastic with our we're holding you.
Speaker 2: Oh god, let's pull out the Ouiji board. Aaron, dim
Speaker 2: the lights.

Speaker 1: don't do it.
Speaker 2: I don't. I never did. And I'm like, I don't

Speaker 2: a feather piss.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, what do.
Speaker 3: You feel about them? Now? You feel like it opens
Speaker 3: you up as a channel.
