No, no, 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:30.000 because you know, why why get satisfaction? Why be satisfied 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:34.880 in life. That's my that's my motto. In fact, in fact, 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:42.559 I'm so adamant that nobody has ever satisfied. Yeah. Oh, 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.880 that's just where you're going to end. Okay, pretty good, 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.960 right Ah, this is really really going well. Yeah. So, 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.160 um so, do you want me to go from my 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:58.320 my previous experience if other children's play places? Yeah, sure, 0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:01.760 I honestly I'd love to hear it. But I think 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.640 that we've heard enough. Like, I'm ready to hire you. Really, 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.560 so you got the job working at Fanccenes Children's play Land. 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:13.240 All right, kids, so make sure you take your shoes 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.720 off one at a time. Why are you talking so slow? 0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:19.639 This is what they hired me for. This is me. 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.560 The people that runs his place can accept me for me. 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.480 I think that you kids can expert. And where is 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.720 your costume? All the other people have a costume on 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.920 and you don't have a costume on. This is the costume. 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.800 I'm myself. I have a block shirt on, and Jean's like, 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.320 not fun. We're the little kids. We like fun, we 0:02:38.400 --> 0:02:43.239 like bright things. Well, then you came to the wrong place. Miraculously, 0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.640 his behavior led to a promotion, because now the shifts 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:52.240 supervisor a Franccenes Kids Children's play area place, Becky here, 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.760 and you didn't need to talk to you from an please, 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.360 I would love to hear its. So you're doing a 0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.600 great job, by the way. I mean, the children hate you, 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.040 but yeah, I just love hearing you talk. That's really 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:09.120 nice of you. Um, this is never easy. Don't because 0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:14.000 you know I've been bumped up and now I'm your superior. Yeah. Um, 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.720 I can't help but notice that at the birthday party. Yeah, 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:22.760 Reba Witz kid, you joined in to sing Happy Birthday 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:26.080 to the children. Yeah. Well, I like to sing a lot. 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.200 It's one of my hobbies, and I wanted the children 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.919 to hear. Look, I can't control what you do at home. 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:36.320 If you want to have fun and be happy at home, however, 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.280 this is not the place for that. Because a new 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:46.320 new guard in town and Branson's play welcome. No one 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:48.560 knows the name. I don't know. We should put a 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.360 sign out. We should because I don't even know the name. 0:03:51.520 --> 0:03:53.880 As it turns out, they actually had gone to sign 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.600 shot at one point. All right, so wow, Yes, we 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.880 have all sorts of signs here. We have big signs, 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:00.640 we have small's eyes, we have on signs, we have 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.240 wood signs with heyte what sort of sign are you 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:08.000 looking for your particular establishment? Honestly, it doesn't really matter. 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:14.720 We just um we everyone at the friends scenes. Um, okay, 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:16.680 I guess we should have started there. What is the 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:25.159 name of your place? It's I'm trying to remember. Is 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:29.000 a play place? Do you have a business card or something? 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:32.240 We never got around to it. We just couldn't think 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:35.560 of remember the name. And um, you can probably call 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:37.960 the home office. Okay, call the home office and they'll 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.840 give you the They should know it for sure.

Just now 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.680 gonna get the satisfaction? You know what? That does feel 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:16.200 strangely good, not being satisfied. This is this American Laugh 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:21.640 and the host Aristulatory with producer Andy Harris. Our especially 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:26.160 guest contributor for this week is Katie Marovich. In our show, 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:29.400 we'll be using our trusty random Sense generator to bring 0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:33.080 you a fully improvised show in three acts. This week's 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:37.479 theme deception. Sometimes it's impossible to differentiate between who is 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:41.000 telling the truth and who is telling a dirty, filthy lie? 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:49.520 Stay with us. Act one. They looked up at the 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:56.360 sky and saw a million stars. Look you said that one? Good? 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:01.960 That one? Yeah? What's its name? What's your name? Monica? 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:06.159 You didn't know that? No? No, no, that's a clue. 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:12.760 What's your name? Got it? Monica? Is the star? Bryan 0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:19.200 named it after you? That is so? Yeah, that's right. 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:22.040 It only cost me. I shouldn't tell you. It's kind 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:27.039 of tacky. Only cost me a twenty bad thousand dollars. 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.440 Why is that's the way? Too much? I mean I 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:33.400 love it, but that's the way. Do you want money? 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.520 That's that's the going rate for No, there's no way 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:41.080 that's true. No, No, it's in sky. I mean it's 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:47.680 it's a part of nature. You trying to say to you? Overmade? Yeah, 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.680 that can't be right. I trusted the guy. He told 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.119 me this. He wrote on a piece of paper, you 0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:59.159 own this star. Okay, let me see the piece of paper. Okay, No, 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.000 this is a map in first of all this and 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:06.520 he said it's made of paper and McDonald's snaphan and 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:09.640 it says you, Brian, are the proud owner of a 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.920 star that Okay, he spelled Brian wrong. Keep a brain. 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.040 It's not even your name. Look, that's not the important part. 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.160 The important part is that the star is named after you, 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.680 and I paid top dollar for it. You know, hold on, 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.000 you know what I gotta call it? Can you? Can 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.280 you just look at your star for a minute, your 0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:34.000 expensive star? Yeah? Okay? Hello? Yeah, Hi? Is this uh 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:40.720 Walt Starvington? Yeah? So? Um Brian, Hey Brian, how you doing, Brian? Brian? 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:47.440 Be strong? Okay, he so listen to me. You you 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.200 sold me a star, and I can't help but think 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:54.400 that you might have gouged me on the price. Here. No, no, 0:07:56.040 --> 0:08:01.800 you break your breaking up? Okay, he lost the connection. 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:04.920 That's not what happened. You heard it. As a speaker, 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:07.640 he could cut out. He made a noise like the 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.760 phone was cutting out, and then he hung off on Monica. Look, 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:12.720 I love you. I love you enough to name a 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.680 star after you and spend every bit of money that 0:08:15.760 --> 0:08:18.760 I have, plus take out alone for the breast of 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.560 it that I couldn't what. I love you very much. 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:27.560 Trust is a fundamental element of life. You gotta trust people, right, 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.120 I mean, you just gotta trust them. Okay, let's just 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:35.000 finish our champagne. By the way, there's a bottle of 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:38.840 champagne that you're looking at right here. I bought it 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:47.559 from a guy sitting outside. I knew it tasted where is. 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.680 Bought it from a guy who said that he was 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.760 born on top of a hay bale at a winery 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:58.199 and grew up on a winery. And he handed me 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.880 this bottle of champagne, and he told me it was very, 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.120 very good champagne. Did you pay for it? Then mowed 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:09.559 him several separate times, because there's a limit how many 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:12.240 times how much money you can venmo a person. Yes, 0:09:12.600 --> 0:09:15.520 let's just say we won't be going on vacation anytime 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.920 soon unless it's to the time share that I that 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:24.840 I just what your birthday only comes once a year, Brian, 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.880 I bought. I bought a time share from a guy 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.840 I knew, a guy. He handed me these keys that 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:36.000 he said he just had made to a time share. 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:38.240 So we can't even go to the time share, is 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.120 what I'm gathering. Well, I don't know. I haven't been 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.160 by that yet. I've never actually seen it. Where is 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:45.080 the time share supposed to be located? I took a 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:47.800 picture of him when he was spinning a globe and 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:49.840 then poked his figure on the globe and he said, 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:51.960 it's right here, sir, I took a picture of it. 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:53.840 Let me go through my phone real quick and see 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.120 if I could find a picture. Oh, it's here, it's 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.160 here in Detroit, Brian, check it out. Thank you might 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:03.559 be a little bit unless dumb means kind, because I'm 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.080 kind enough to buy you a star, I buy you 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:09.120 a time share, I buy you a half drank bottle 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.720 of champagne or half un drank. It sounds like you 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:17.080 spent roughly two hundred thousand dollars on my birthday this year, 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:20.200 and I didn't ask for that. It's not even a 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:25.920 memorable birthday. Really, you're going to forget this day. I 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:29.000 don't think you'll ever forgo. I just mean it's eight. 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:33.840 Who cares about you? And I both know is a 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.960 very important number to me because that was the age 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.839 of the guy who needs a kidney, and I promised 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.320 to him that I would give him my kidney, and 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.480 I signed a document and said that I would give 0:10:44.559 --> 0:10:47.439 him his kid And that's how old he is, and 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:49.679 that's how I guess. This is just a long way 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:51.840 of me trying to tell you that I promised my kidney. 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:56.640 Oh my god, we need to probably speed this up 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:00.520 a little bit because the duck is scheduled to grubbing 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:04.280 in a four hours. Brian. This is all very nice, 0:11:04.360 --> 0:11:10.840 but I just I can't be with someone like you. Sadly, 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.320 Monica and Brian ended up hiding ways. I'll drop you 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:16.240 off at the hospital. It sounds like you have to 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.600 go right, and we we took my car the hospital. 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.080 No no, no, no. The surgery isn't at the hospital. 0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:26.640 The surgery is that a Is that a casino? Oh? Yeah, yeah, Brian, 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.640 I can't believe I didn't see the signs earlier and 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:33.040 wake up with your way earlier. You realized that she 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:39.120 should have noticed the signs on their first date together, Brian, Monica, 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.280 I recognized you. You have the yellow heat on you 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:45.480 and you have the red road. Yes, I do, well, 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.040 I did have. I did have. I did have a 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.240 dozen of them. But I kept going around to every 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:54.840 woman and said, should I give you the throws? And 0:11:55.000 --> 0:12:00.839 they said yeah, sure, so eleven other women here generous. 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:03.439 Oh you know, I just I just trust people whenever 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:06.280 they whenever they tell me that they want something. I 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:08.800 just there's something about it that seems like it could 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.439 be a red flag and I'm going to ignore it. No, 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:16.040 it's a rose, it's a red yeah. Oh yeah cool. 0:12:16.160 --> 0:12:19.640 So should we get tapas high folks? Um?

I guess I'll do a 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:30.040 singry that sounds good. Um? Could you also buy me 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.720 as Angria? Money's a little tight right now because I 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:37.600 totally I've got this. I've I've got to paint drop. 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:44.840 Oh yeah, so I used to too, but oh was 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.959 that recent? Yeah? It's it's like just your basic run 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:50.880 of the mill downsizing where boss calls you to the 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:55.040 office and he says, uh, we're letting you go because 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:59.720 you stole a palate of printers, you know, downsize that 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:01.840 kind thing that happened. That could be a red flag, 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:05.199 but I'm gonna ignoring. I'm gonna ignore him. I found 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.800 some footage of the incident in question.

I know he's stupid, but 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.080 still you can't go around convincing the stupid people that 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.840 work here to steal. It's not I mean, it might 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:42.080 be fun for you, but it's not fun for that. 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:44.680 But it's not fun.

That's the reason. 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:20.200 Because you want the job. Job, You're gonna have to 0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:29.640 give me a better reason. Please, I can't say a 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:34.920 little scamp. All right, really this is the last. If 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:38.080 it happens again, the authorities might be called. They might 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:53.720 all right, okay here moments later, Yeah, why did Okay? Okay, 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:55.320 you know what.

That's what I want. Okay, So you 0:16:06.720 --> 0:16:09.360 would go out there, you do do a real bad 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:13.760 job out there. You convince everyone to steal things. Okay, 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:19.920 it's not any fun. I was holding that. I was 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:21.680 holding that you would go back into the into the 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:24.480 warehouse and you would not convince everyone there's steal things, 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.000 and then I wouldn't have to talk to you again 0:16:26.040 --> 0:16:29.720 about that. Yeah, I didn't understand. There was a little 0:16:29.760 --> 0:16:34.280 convoluted like from brain to mouth. I could tell that 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.880 you and the listener we're going to hard. I wounderstanding 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:42.920 what I was doing. I've gotten there, ye, jailer, is 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:53.560 that my watching goddam coming up back? To the first 0:16:53.960 --> 0:17:06.360 word from our esteemed sponsors, stay with us to interview. 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:12.280 That's welcome this week's guest contributor to Katie Marovich. Katie, welcome, Hi, 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:15.040 thanks for having me, Thanks for being here. So how 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:19.679 long have you been listening to the show? Um? About 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:24.320 a day? Try again? How long? Longer? Long? Yeah? Since 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:28.120 the beginning? Right, Oh, I've been listening since episode one. 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.640 So you're a die hard I'm a die hard fan. 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.920 Do you remember what happened in that first episode? Yeah? 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:38.040 I remember the theme was trust in episode one? And um, 0:17:38.320 --> 0:17:41.560 what was your favorite scene from that episode? I'm curious, 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:49.800 probably the second scene. What happened to that? Um? Sorry 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:54.320 somebody was Yeah, I was like a brief moment and 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:58.200 but no, I definitely we actually we actually have that 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:02.359 scene in the archives. Can I would love to hear 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:04.600 it and just kind of remind myself what let's hear 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:15.960 that these ah, excuse me, excuse becuse me. I'm the 0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:20.080 one's coughing and not, like you know what, agree to disagree. 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:23.480 I'm the one who's coughing more. Okay, I would say 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:25.560 that you're coughing a little bit louder than I'm coughing. 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:27.919 But that doesn't mean that I'm not coughing. The scale 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.280 of one to ten, one being me being the one 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:35.480 who's being the coffing coughing man, and then ten being 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:40.680 me mostly a bunch of coughing, I'd probably say I'm 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:44.920 a ten, I'm a t No, no, I'd say you're 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:50.400 like a negative negative, Okay, I've of coughing. Well, okay, look, 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:55.000 this isn't a competition, but if it was, I would 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:58.120 be victorious and I would be hoisting the trophy over 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:04.920 my head that is filled with coughs. Okay, anyway, so 0:19:05.880 --> 0:19:07.840 what was that I still had a little bit of 0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:11.280 cough did you? Yeah? Actually I still had a little 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:13.440 bit of calls really, because your eyes weren't really squinty 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:18.560 like one does you were pretending No, no, no, no, 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:23.760 look listen, look, listen, look yeah, look say it. I 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:28.159 didn't come here to be questioned about my dedication to 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:33.240 the craft of coughing. All right, interesting, now, look both 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:36.200 adults here. I think it would be best if we 0:19:36.400 --> 0:19:44.080 just moved on accepted the fact the reality that I 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:48.320 was the one who coughed the most and the best. 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:52.679 And first, Yeah, that was a really good I loved 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:56.639 that episode. Really good? Was I the guess it sounded 0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:59.080 like me right? You know what? I think it might 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:01.920 have been. I think it might have been. Yeah, that's 0:20:01.960 --> 0:20:05.560 so funny. That makes sense why you would have listened 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:09.760 since day one, because you obviously listened to my episode. Yeah, 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:12.040 like like a quarterback watching the game film, you would 0:20:12.040 --> 0:20:15.520 have gone back first studied it to see. I've been 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:19.440 in a couple episodes though, have you? Yeah? What what other? 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:24.480 That one about um about outer space? The outer space 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:28.320 episode Space Extravagance, so that we have a Space Extravagance. Yeah, 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:31.879 I think that was years ago. That was more than 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:35.040 years I was about a decade ago. That mistaken producer 0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:38.560 Andy had the episode in the archives he usually does, 0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:51.680 So let's play it. Space is beautiful. It's very fast. 0:20:51.800 --> 0:21:04.879 We've got first space, beautiful space. I'm so sorry what 0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:08.240 I thought it was off book of book. I'm not. 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:12.879 You're not awful Space Extravaganza. This is a musical. You 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:17.240 knew that. I'm real sorry, you're throwing me off. I'm 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:20.800 really sorry. Can we go back to one? You know? 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:24.480 I don't know? No, come on, you can trust me. 0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:26.160 I'm not going to let you down like I did 0:21:26.320 --> 0:21:32.080 at the NASA. Yeah, when we made when we pitched, 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:35.040 we pitched the musical to musical to NASA. I'm not 0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:37.480 going to do it, okay, okay, okay, okay, but you 0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:46.080 better go to write this space. It is beautiful, space, beautiful, 0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:55.280 and it's it's beauty and it's in its plan. It's 0:21:55.359 --> 0:22:02.119 in the space. It's No. I didn't forget you're making 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:03.800 us look like no, no, no, no, no, no no. 0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:08.320 I was so I got choked up because a song 0:22:08.440 --> 0:22:10.840 that we've been working on for weeks, it's really it's 0:22:10.880 --> 0:22:14.000 just such a beautiful song you wrote about space. Yeah, 0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:16.600 it is beautiful and I did write it, and you're 0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:21.360 ruining it. That was an intense episode and that scene. Yeah, 0:22:21.520 --> 0:22:25.960 that's what one us the Webby Webby Award. I can't 0:22:25.960 --> 0:22:28.159 believe we got a Webby I know they give it 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:31.480 Webbies for podcasts, right, yeah, because we got one so well, 0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:33.280 I mean we of course I'm a part of that. 0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:36.120 I think we were the lifetime achievement. Yeah, yeah, for sure. 0:22:36.280 --> 0:22:39.399 So Katie, tell us about yourself. What do you do. 0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:46.560 I'm a comedian and writer actor, very unique out here 0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:49.000 and not a lot of people doing that in Los Angeles. 0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:51.840 But yeah, and I've been out here for about eight years, 0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:55.719 nine years doing that and you moved here from Chicago, 0:22:56.760 --> 0:23:00.639 so sad of Chicago? Really? Yeah? But do you decide 0:23:00.640 --> 0:23:03.200 to pack up and move to Los Angeles? Well, I 0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:06.720 knew that I wanted to be a writer. I thought 0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:09.480 I was going to be a journalist and kind of 0:23:09.560 --> 0:23:12.879 fell into comedy. I was lucky because as a child, 0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:15.879 my parents would bring me to like Second City. I oh, 0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:20.359 and I was like really seeing some great groups early on, 0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:24.280 like Kokani Social Clubs improvised Shakespeare, like some of the 0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:28.640 best improvisers, and that definitely had a big impact. And yeah, 0:23:28.720 --> 0:23:31.760 so I just I honestly like used comedy as a 0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:36.000 little kid to avoid getting made fun of, like a 0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:38.719 defense mechanism, and it worked out. You know, we actually 0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:41.760 have in the archives, we have you going to that 0:23:42.000 --> 0:23:45.600 first improv show at Second City when you were a child. 0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:48.240 That's why did you know that we have that? That's 0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:51.639 so we're you have that you would have Alright, Gaty 0:23:51.920 --> 0:23:59.920 for your seventh birthday party, we're taking you do improv sho. Now, look, 0:24:00.119 --> 0:24:03.680 hopefully this is gonna be appropriate for little child years. 0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:08.560 I'm so excited. Hope you will be Yeah. Now, let 0:24:08.600 --> 0:24:11.240 me explain to you how this works. Okay, you go in, 0:24:11.560 --> 0:24:14.560 they ask you for a for a word or a phrase. 0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:17.840 Sometimes they ask for a location that can fit inside 0:24:17.920 --> 0:24:20.840 this room that is contrived and the UM I don't 0:24:21.200 --> 0:24:22.920 like that. I'm not a fan of that because it's 0:24:22.960 --> 0:24:26.400 basically like you're you're building the scene for him. Yeah, 0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:30.560 so they asked for a word, You'll yell out a word, okay, 0:24:31.080 --> 0:24:34.280 everybody where where, laffy taffy. Can we get a one 0:24:34.320 --> 0:24:40.280 word suggestion? Please? Dad? I got to give the word Dad. 0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:44.440 I gave the words could we We usually don't do this, 0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:47.600 but if we could, uh, we could get a different 0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:52.440 suggestion please? Hello christ And I gave the word again. 0:24:53.160 --> 0:24:56.600 You know, I'm gonna ask for an unprecedented third suggestion 0:24:56.680 --> 0:25:03.680 if we could just uh dick and towards freaking. It 0:25:03.800 --> 0:25:05.840 was a very special moment. That was a good memory. 0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:08.639 It was nice to hear your formative years. What was 0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:11.320 your first job out here in l A. I was 0:25:11.400 --> 0:25:15.320 an intern at College Humor. Well, like I said, I 0:25:15.480 --> 0:25:17.399 just wanted to be a writer. But then someone mentioned, like, 0:25:17.640 --> 0:25:20.920 you have to do improv classes. So I started taking 0:25:21.119 --> 0:25:25.600 improv classes at the UCV as you do. And UM, 0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:28.520 I don't know. I really fell in love with performing 0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:31.920 and so um, I think they kind of noticed those 0:25:32.160 --> 0:25:34.879 a little weird little funny at college humor, and they 0:25:34.880 --> 0:25:38.720 started letting me sit in on the writer's room and um, 0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:41.440 I get to like act and write and eventually became 0:25:41.520 --> 0:25:43.720 a like a full time cast member writer. So I 0:25:43.760 --> 0:25:45.920 did that for a long time. We actually have you 0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:52.000 sitting in on the writer's meetings when they let you 0:25:52.440 --> 0:25:56.880 come in and and sit in. Wow.
