Speaker 2: going to hold baby. That's okay, that's see. I would
Speaker 2: hold you and like rub your hair, I know, And
Speaker 2: that's what I'm counting. That's why Catherine goes and looks
Speaker 2: perfect for that. Yeah, okay, I think you're getting so
Speaker 2: close to the finish line. There's lots of emotions, emotions,
Speaker 2: so I feel like, you know, it's ah, yeah, I've
Speaker 2: been verily normal to want to be helped be today.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, fe and everything is fine, weepy because you

Speaker 2: she's like hi, and I was like, so it's really
Speaker 2: been fine and she was like oh okay, and like
Speaker 2: nothing ever like makes you nervous, which is just so great.
Speaker 2: But Catherine and Jane are just sitting there listening I'm
Speaker 2: just bawling my eyes out and I'm like so sorry. Well, first,
Speaker 2: my favorite is that I can't even say anything without
Speaker 2: being like, Okay, do you want to talk about it?
Speaker 2: An hour on the podcast, I was like no, the
Speaker 2: more I mean, you know, I just had to because
Speaker 2: your words and experiences and things, you know, help people
Speaker 2: and listen relate to it. There's never been more support
Speaker 2: for a mom than me going on here. I guess
Speaker 2: it was last week, right when I said that no
Speaker 2: visitors are coming. The drawbridges up. I mean, Mom's everywhere like,
Speaker 2: you're my hero. I want to kiss you on the lip.
Speaker 2: I'm like, we really just need to honor ourselves. We
Speaker 2: know what we need. Yes, So you're having a kind
Speaker 2: of a tough start to your week. Catherine experienced her
Speaker 2: own tough part of her week last week with the
Speaker 2: tears of your daughter. Would you want to talk about
Speaker 2: that a little bit? Oh that's a hard one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I mean obviously we had a cheer competition
Speaker 1: is the biggest one. We were summit, right, Yeah, the
Speaker 1: summit in Orlando. We are against like Japan, Canada, like
Speaker 1: all the things.
Speaker 2: Didn't see that, gum, Yeah, I thought it was going
Speaker 2: to be like North Carolina those two.
Speaker 1: Okay, but like day one, first place by like a
Speaker 1: couple points, and then but the fourth place team had falls,
Speaker 1: so you knew that, like, okay, this could be bad
Speaker 1: the next day, but we'll see kind of thing.
Speaker 2: Wait, why bad the next day if they cause you
Speaker 2: start over.
Speaker 1: So if they don't have those falls the next Saints, no,
Speaker 1: the other team, they make up those points. So if
Speaker 1: they you know, they're down two points, they met up
Speaker 1: those points. Our points are way closer, so we knew
Speaker 1: who were worried about, Well, of course we nail it,
Speaker 1: but then they nail it, so it's like it's going
Speaker 1: to be close. But anyway they expected I mean honestly,
Speaker 1: the expectation was first, which was what was so heartbreaking.
Speaker 1: So we got second and everybody cried. It was like
Speaker 1: no celebration.
Speaker 2: They did the fault team.
Speaker 1: Yes, the next day they killed it.
Speaker 2: I'm at the four point. That's part of gymnastics, I mean,
Speaker 2: of cheer that I just don't understand. It's so frustrating
Speaker 2: because I'm like, they clearly if you're taking But at
Speaker 2: the same time, you look at other sports, like write baseball,
Speaker 2: if you have like another team could happen like a
Speaker 2: million runs in the next day. Yeah, but we're at
Speaker 2: the summit. This is Japan. I need everybody to los.
Speaker 1: This was not Japan. This was California. And they were
Speaker 1: very nice. They were not very nice, which made it
Speaker 1: even harder on the girl.
Speaker 2: Why weren't they nice?
Speaker 1: They were just kind of rude to them. It happens.
Speaker 1: It happens a lot, and then cheer. The sweet Japan
Speaker 1: team got third and they were just like the happiest,
Speaker 1: sweetest I'm like, we can learn something. Meanwhile, their second
Speaker 1: place all pissed, crying, don't want to take pictures, don't
Speaker 1: want their banners, like all the things. So like you
Speaker 1: get like five minutes to be pissed off and then
Speaker 1: you got to turn this back around.
Speaker 2: But Catherine, it was thin. She took a picture if
Speaker 2: it was like the saddest but like funniest photo because
Speaker 2: like Emmy's like crying through She's like you can just
Speaker 2: hear Catherine smile. She's still mad.
Speaker 1: At me because I was like take the picture. She's
Speaker 1: like no, and I was like take the picture. I
Speaker 1: promise I won't post it, and legitimately forgot didn't even
Speaker 1: think about it and posted it. She was like, you
Speaker 1: told me you want post it, but I'll take it down.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. She's like, no, it's fine, but I'm like
Speaker 1: that's how everybody felt.
Speaker 2: It was like, but it shows their like emotion like
Speaker 2: and I'm like, as a parent, that has to be
Speaker 2: so hard.
Speaker 1: It was. It was hard, but also it was a
Speaker 1: teaching moment. It was definitely like a moment of like
Speaker 1: teaching sportsmanship, like being disappointed and like, you know, if
Speaker 1: you're not first, you're last, you know. I mean it's
Speaker 1: like that mentality that you know, some of these really
Speaker 1: competitive girls have.
Speaker 2: So dang, we had fun.
Speaker 3: And it was great.
Speaker 1: We got second in the world, and we can't be.
Speaker 2: Second in the world. I just want to reiterate, I know,
Speaker 2: in the world for anything in my life. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: I could get like getting to a place when you're
Speaker 2: like you could have been first in the world. It's like,
Speaker 2: well a really really remembers the silver medalist. Okay, dude,
Speaker 2: but you know what I'm saying, that's blocker. When this
Speaker 2: episode comes out, I.
Speaker 1: Know she still feels that way. She's i mean, she's
Speaker 1: gotten better about it, but also she's kind of like
Speaker 1: like really the second place banner, mom, because I like
Speaker 1: still have it, like, let's put it in your room.
Speaker 1: She's like, no, I just was.
Speaker 2: Never good enough at any of the things. Like with skating,
Speaker 2: I'm like I got fourteenth their regionals, you know, like
Speaker 2: ten thousand in the world. Yeah, that's like I couldn't
Speaker 2: really rag about anything, you know, Like she's so time
Speaker 2: to I don't know that I've been first to anything
Speaker 2: I have ever Welcome to the silber a Less podcast,
Speaker 2: not even silver if I when do we get I
Speaker 2: don't know. We need to hold we need to do
Speaker 2: like a wine down games. I bet you will beat
Speaker 2: you with banana grabs somebody, somebody.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. When we went to Universal, we like
Speaker 1: played like the Carnival games and it's literally like me Emmy,
Speaker 1: her best friend, her best friend's mom, and I, you
Speaker 1: know me, I'm like competitive, I'm winning.
Speaker 3: I'm like.
Speaker 1: And they're like, it's fine.
Speaker 2: Still using her second place banner to wipe up her tears,
Speaker 2: she was like, thanks, mom.
Speaker 3: Just beat her.
Speaker 1: I just totally beat her. It's like, sorry, you got
Speaker 1: second and take it again.
Speaker 2: I h I taught Alan how to play uker. I'm
Speaker 2: dying over the weekend and because I've just been going
Speaker 2: through something personal and and so you know, he's been
Speaker 2: he's been so sweet and he's like I know and
Speaker 2: make me really like smile right now. He's like what
Speaker 2: I'm like, if I taught you how to play, you
Speaker 2: get it. No, that's what I say that that's the question.
Speaker 2: I don't know how to play. It was really cute,
Speaker 2: like he wrote down the notes like he had the
Speaker 2: whole thing like, and it's funny because my cousin's my
Speaker 2: cousin's husband was texting with them and just kind of
Speaker 2: like giving him tips like hey, download the game, it'll
Speaker 2: help you. And I feel like I'm a decent teacher
Speaker 2: at UKER. But so I think he like semi gets it.
Speaker 2: We just had to play it, which is why, like
Speaker 2: cat I texted me, I'm like, all right, we need
Speaker 2: to play. But and I was just like, you know,
Speaker 2: I need you to understand like when we go up north,
Speaker 2: like it's very competitive, you know. And so he was
Speaker 2: texting with Kenton or whatever, and I guess he was.
Speaker 2: Alan was just like Ken goes, just be careful, like
Speaker 2: don't trump her race. And Alan's like, oh whatever, like
Speaker 2: it'll be fine. I'll just mess with her, and he goes,
Speaker 2: I would ten out of ten not recommend that in
Speaker 2: that family. So I was like, Okay, good job, Kenn.
Speaker 2: But anyways, it was fun and he's now learning on
Speaker 2: the game. So if you see an Alan Russell handle
Speaker 2: on you, it does oh get us. We've come.
Speaker 1: It's great that he's learning, because you didn't think he
Speaker 1: could ever really play cards.
Speaker 2: I didn't think, no, no, no no. I taught him how
Speaker 2: to play golf cards and that was a disaster. So
Speaker 2: I was just like, I wonder, it's just he's he's
Speaker 2: never played cards. He's it's so foreign to him, Like
Speaker 2: he didn't like literally literally like he didn't. I grew
Speaker 2: up playing crazy eights and yeah, all the things. Yeah
Speaker 2: and slapjacket and yeah, spoons, like he doesn't understand any
Speaker 2: of it. Solitaire, Yeah, I know solitaire. Why it's so
Speaker 2: good for us? It's like or something. But with everything
Speaker 2: high trust, no one, the high hormones. And we have
Speaker 2: a comedian coming on the show in like a few minutes,
Speaker 2: and I'm really excited because I feel like we all
Speaker 2: need a little bit of a pick me up, a
Speaker 2: little a little happy. But this is kind of fun
Speaker 2: y'all are gonna think of a dork. But Jolie had
Speaker 2: joke day to day at school because they're doing like

Speaker 2: listeners to come back after.
Speaker 3: Although I have to say I've done many videos with
Speaker 3: like dad jokes, like kids jokes, and those actually do
Speaker 3: better than any of my other Like people love corny jokes.
Speaker 2: I do. I really find them fantastic. I have one
Speaker 2: that I say, like, if something happens at a show, Catherine,
Speaker 2: because I've done it before, and a piece of me
Speaker 2: was like I might send it was because my daughter's
Speaker 2: joke dated today at school, So I was like, well,
Speaker 2: maybe I'll just send my funny one into the teacher
Speaker 2: because she's a friend. But I didn't because then I'm like,
Speaker 2: well she's still a teacher because I'm just gonna say it,
Speaker 2: and then you're gonna just rescue me here.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, give it.
Speaker 2: Why are women and tornadoes alike? Why because they scream

Speaker 3: But that is definitely not a kid's joke.
Speaker 2: No, definitely down Texas daughter's teacher, Like.

Speaker 2: No, that's my adult that's that's my only adult one
Speaker 2: that I have that I like, it's safe, it's funny.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But okay, so you were I mean, TikTok is what
Speaker 2: exploded everything?
Speaker 3: Right? Yeah, I mean yeah, TikTok really TikTok, and I
Speaker 3: posted my I posted a video I mean even stand
Speaker 3: up since twenty eleven, but like you know, like on
Speaker 3: the road struggling, you know. And then during twenty twenty,
Speaker 3: I posted a video on TikTok when I was like
Speaker 3: a little tipsy and depressed alone in my apartment, like
Speaker 3: most people were, and it started going viral, and then
Speaker 3: before I know it, between TikTok and Instagram, it just
Speaker 3: like blew up. And then that changed everything.
Speaker 2: And you started getting like celebrity comments like Oprah Kardashians yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when I'm was like, so he posted it, and
Speaker 3: then like two days later, Kyle Richards posted it, and
Speaker 3: Tanks good News posted it, and then from there like
Speaker 3: Jennifer Garner posted it, and Oprah posted it, and just
Speaker 3: every celebrity was posting it and started following me. She's like,
Speaker 3: I don't even have millions of followers, but I have
Speaker 3: like all these A lists people that followed me. So
Speaker 3: it's very odd.
Speaker 2: It's like, were you freaking out?
Speaker 3: Like, oh my god, it was the craziest because, like,
Speaker 3: going viral is weird to begin with, but this was
Speaker 3: like a different like those three weeks I didn't want
Speaker 3: to sleep, Like I remember, I woke up at like
Speaker 3: one in the morning and I saw all these messages
Speaker 3: like the Kardashians are like getting into a fight in
Speaker 3: your comment section of your last video, and so then
Speaker 3: I looked and like Chloe was like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: this is so funny. And then Courtney was like, Chloe,
Speaker 3: I'm the one who sent it to the group chat.
Speaker 3: Stop trying to take credit. And then Kim was like, guys,
Speaker 3: I'm the funny one. They were like finally I'm sleep.
Speaker 3: I was like I need to be up. This is
Speaker 3: happening on my page.
Speaker 2: Like, so have you met these people? No, because I
Speaker 2: would take the opportunity then to be like hi, oh
Speaker 2: my god that much in real life.
Speaker 3: Not at that point, because at that one I was
Speaker 3: still like freaking out because like, oh so this was
Speaker 3: during the pandemic, so no one was meeting. But then
Speaker 3: like six months later was the Metala where Kim wore
Speaker 3: the all black Yeah. Right, so I wore that outfit
Speaker 3: around New York City, right like.
Speaker 2: I can you come get to me? I just need
Speaker 2: you with me for a little bit.
Speaker 3: I love a very weird life. So then someone on
Speaker 3: a subway took a picture of me in that outfit,
Speaker 3: and New York Subway Creatures, which is an Instagram page,
Speaker 3: posted that. So then Kim posted on her page like
Speaker 3: this is hilarious. Does anyone know who this is? Because
Speaker 3: then I was fully covered. So then I wrote on
Speaker 3: my Instagram I posted it. I was like, can someone
Speaker 3: please let Kim Kardashian know it's me, which then Chrissy
Speaker 3: Teagan was like, I'm on it. Chrissy messages Tim and
Speaker 3: then Kim messages me again. I don't know any of
Speaker 3: these people, like living this very weird life where they
Speaker 3: all are talking to me, but no one's actually hanging
Speaker 3: out with me.
Speaker 2: They couldn't those.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well Malvick and I still haven't gotten any calls.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so okay, so you go, you go completely viral.
Speaker 2: All these people are talking about you like this insane?
Speaker 2: What has transpired since then?
Speaker 3: All? Right? So then okay, so first it was like
Speaker 3: a whirldwin. Right, so the talk shows wanted me all
Speaker 3: the agent and I've been in this business for so long.
Speaker 3: Every agent and manager had seen me, but like no
Speaker 3: one wanted me now. They were all like wanting to
Speaker 3: take meetings. So I signed with my men first, and
Speaker 3: then I was like, just help me because it was
Speaker 3: like chaos going on. Also because all these talk shows
Speaker 3: were asking me to come on and I just said
Speaker 3: yes to everyone, not knowing there's like people only want
Speaker 3: you if you're the first, like they only want you.
Speaker 3: And then there's like a three month like you can't
Speaker 3: go on any other talk shows. I didn't know that.
Speaker 3: I'm just telling everyone I'll go on here talk show.
Speaker 3: Right then, I caused a little bit of a mess.
Speaker 3: People were getting mad. So then I hired this managers
Speaker 3: and just take care of everything. And then so it
Speaker 3: was still during the pandemic, so I didn't want to
Speaker 3: go on the road yet because I didn't want to
Speaker 3: go back into the clubs because they were only doing
Speaker 3: like half of them out to people are allowed. There's
Speaker 3: still masks, and I was like, I want to wait,
Speaker 3: Like now I have fans, I want to wait to
Speaker 3: go back in the clubs. So I waited a little
Speaker 3: and I just like pumped out tons of content, waited
Speaker 3: for the pandemic to kind of die down. And now
Speaker 3: I'm back on the road, started a podcast with Betches,
Speaker 3: and now I'm just like doing everything I was doing before.
Speaker 3: Just now there's people watching, basically.
Speaker 2: Because how many years prior to that were you doing
Speaker 2: comedy without the I guess recognition that you have.
Speaker 3: I started Dan, I started stand up in twenty eleven,
Speaker 3: and then twenty thirteen it was like my full time job,
Speaker 3: like that's what I was doing, Like on the road,
Speaker 3: I funk for the troops, Like, so that was what
Speaker 3: I was doing. And then twenty twenty is when I
Speaker 3: started like people knew who I was.
Speaker 2: Prior to twenty eleven, what were you doing?
Speaker 3: I was an actress and you're listening I have quotes
Speaker 3: of because like, I didn't book anything. I was like
Speaker 3: a struggling actress. Yeah flash personal trainer got it.
Speaker 2: I got nervous when you put actress in air quotes
Speaker 2: because I was like, Sis, how much of Robin are
Speaker 2: we going to see on a film somewhere?
Speaker 3: Yeah, my clothes on, my jokes, but yeah no. So
Speaker 3: I was like a struggling act I was like trying
Speaker 3: to be an actress, but nothing was happening. And then
Speaker 3: my dad, who's an accountant of all things, was like,
Speaker 3: you should try stand up And I thought he was
Speaker 3: crazy because no one makes a living doing stand up.
Speaker 3: That's like one of the hardest forms of performing. But
Speaker 3: he was right. Soon as I started doing it, I
Speaker 3: started making a living and booking, and.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we're going to Yeah, what would you say
Speaker 2: to our middle co host here who has a dream
Speaker 2: but is afraid to go for it? Was going to
Speaker 2: out me. Sorry, I had to because it's something that
Speaker 2: like you you want to do, but I think you're
Speaker 2: afraid to do it. Well, I think it's terrifying.
Speaker 3: It's terrible. It's the scariest thing in the world. Stand
Speaker 3: up is horrible. Don't do it anything, Okay, So here's
Speaker 3: the truth to You just have to get up, right, Like,
Speaker 3: you just have.
Speaker 4: To do it.
Speaker 3: There's no there's no way around it. Like, just get
Speaker 3: up and do it. Everyone kind of isn't that good
Speaker 3: at the start, do you know what I mean? Because
Speaker 3: it's a muscle that you have to work on and build.
Speaker 3: So if you just keep in your mind that like, okay,
Speaker 3: this takes time and the only way to get good
Speaker 3: is getting up, that's what you do. With that said,
Speaker 3: it is such a hard lifestyle that I would say,
Speaker 3: just know that. It's really you're like you're on the
Speaker 3: road alone a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny. My husband actually talks about this. My
Speaker 2: husband's an artist, a country artist, and he isn't part
Speaker 2: of a duo, and he's like, I can't imagine, like
Speaker 2: he always says, I can't imagine like the solo guys,
Speaker 2: you know, but he's like comedians, he's like his heart
Speaker 2: is always with you because he's like a lot of
Speaker 2: times there isn't even a manager out there. It's just
Speaker 2: like you in a hotel room.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's so depressing. And like I now at
Speaker 3: the point, like my show now has like videos and music,
Speaker 3: so I hired my brother to run the tex So
Speaker 3: my brother's always on the road, and my mom retired,
Speaker 3: so now she's on the road with me. And now
Speaker 3: I'm like, now is a very different situation than when
Speaker 3: like you're starting out and you're by yourself.
Speaker 2: With like a PowerPoint clicker and a hope and you're
Speaker 2: just like, Hi, my name's Robin. I think I'm funny exactly.
Speaker 3: And if you bomb, then you have to like walk
Speaker 3: to your car by yourself. And it's really depressive anyone
Speaker 3: to go into comedy, but it's really hard.
Speaker 2: No what I think, but I can't wait to get
Speaker 2: started raving. I no, no, no, But I think what's
Speaker 2: different is like you and like you in a way
Speaker 2: already have like a fan base. So it's like if
Speaker 2: we were to like let you have, not let you
Speaker 2: have that's if like no, no, like let's say for
Speaker 2: wine down, like people already love you. So it's like
Speaker 2: you already have the audience. So it's like, well, I
Speaker 2: have your audience, honey, they don't come from it. They laugh,
Speaker 2: they laugh at your jokes, the you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So that it's like, so I just think, like, you know,
Speaker 2: and I look at other comedians, like when I watched
Speaker 2: The Bat, I personally like sebastianman Skalco, and I like,
Speaker 2: I love him, you know, what's the Oh my god,
Speaker 2: I'm blinking on his name right now, but he just
Speaker 2: sold out bridgeton Arena. Nate Bargotsky like I love him too,
Speaker 2: And but I also think there's other comedians that you
Speaker 2: know that I watched with my boyfriend and I'm like,
Speaker 2: this isn't funny, but he's laughing. So it's like he's
Speaker 2: just more of a fan of certain other people, and
Speaker 2: so like you're gonna liaugh off at them more because
Speaker 2: they're they're a fan and you've cultivated them. Like I
Speaker 2: can make people laugh at my show because they like me.
Speaker 2: If I could if I said the same thing somewhere else,
Speaker 2: they wouldn't laugh because they don't like me, or they
Speaker 2: don't know me, or they don't you know.
Speaker 3: That is so what you just said is one hundred
Speaker 3: percent true now at my shows because it's all fans.
Speaker 3: I could say anything and they're so excited. But so
Speaker 3: she's actually right, like that's what you should do instead
Speaker 3: of like going into a comedy club and doing five
Speaker 3: minutes like which is going to be brutal. Like that's
Speaker 3: like in the beginning, it's just hard. I would say, yeah,
Speaker 3: do it where it's like the fans of you guys
Speaker 3: in the podcast and just start off with like a
Speaker 3: five minute set.
Speaker 2: I do it. Wind down no, but like we know,
Speaker 2: but we do it at a different venue. Like we're like, hey,
Speaker 2: we're here to wind down, but like earlier this day,
Speaker 2: we're going to be here Kristen's show, like we make
Speaker 2: it their own thing. But it'd be so great because
Speaker 2: they'd come yeah.
Speaker 3: And it'll be your people, so they'll be rooting you
Speaker 3: one and also the worst, the worst, the words you
Speaker 3: bomb and then but you won't.
Speaker 2: Be alone sex alone, sto off me to my car robins.
Speaker 3: It makes In Kathy Griffin's autobiography, one of them, she
Speaker 3: says how she was on the road and she bombed,
Speaker 3: and she was walking to a car and someone like
Speaker 3: threw a bottle at her or something, and now is
Speaker 3: when she realized that she could never go to shows
Speaker 3: anymore by herself. And I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: say no one threw a bottle at me. But well
Speaker 3: in comedy, but there you comedy's just so brutal, but
Speaker 3: you would be doing a very different situation that I
Speaker 3: just say, just get up and do it. And also
Speaker 3: there's no better hide than hearing people laugh.
Speaker 2: That's my favorite part, Mike, Yeah, so just do it, okay?
Speaker 2: Coached by Robin. Did you think this is where the
Speaker 2: podcast is going? It's like you take your amateur to
Speaker 2: work day.
Speaker 3: I think the funniest part is people always think I'm
Speaker 3: like so happy and like encouraging, and I'm like, don't
Speaker 3: do it.
Speaker 2: Well, that's what I say about like acting, because I
Speaker 2: also am a struggling actress and it's like, you know,
Speaker 2: have like the it's like it's it's really my dollars,
Speaker 2: Like I want to be an actress, and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: like it's just it's it's hard, but at the same time,
Speaker 2: the payoff is wonderful and amazing. And I'd rather say
Speaker 2: I tried something and I failed at it rather than
Speaker 2: I didn't try totally.
Speaker 3: So I agree one hundred.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree until we get to comedy and then
Speaker 2: I'm like, maybe.
Speaker 1: Try to talk video and see if it goes viral,
Speaker 1: see how it goes.
Speaker 2: I'm one hundred years old, so we'll see. Rovin, what
Speaker 2: is like, what do you want to do next? Like
Speaker 2: what is your what is your on your dream board vision?
Speaker 3: Okay? Well, like the main goal is like a daytime
Speaker 3: talk show, like a real like old school Rosi O'donald
Speaker 3: type talk show from back in the nineties. So like
Speaker 3: that's what That's always been the dream since I was
Speaker 3: a little kid, and I've just kind of been taking
Speaker 3: the steps from you know, okay my acting degree to
Speaker 3: stand up to now doing the podcast. Like it's all
Speaker 3: steps to eventually have that daytime talk show. I love that.
Speaker 2: That'd be so what would you call it?
Speaker 3: Name SHAWL, So I think it'd be shaw We Talk.
Speaker 4: I was just gonna say we like it, we talk
Speaker 4: or something with that that's dense, and it'd be like
Speaker 4: the like I remember Rosie would have you know, celebrities on,
Speaker 4: but then she would have like kids on.
Speaker 3: She'd play games like very light, nothing too heavy. The
Speaker 3: rest of the world is so heavy, you know. I
Speaker 3: like to.
Speaker 2: You have such a fun energy. I would watch you
Speaker 2: every day.
Speaker 3: Oh thank you. Well, I cry when I'm not being recorded.
Speaker 2: Well, so that that's actually where I was going to
Speaker 2: go do next, because I feel like, you know you
Speaker 2: you if you pull a list of comedians, like a
Speaker 2: lot of them have struggled with depression with I was
Speaker 2: just watching John Mullaney's stand up that he just put
Speaker 2: out on Netflix, and you know, like you know, falling
Speaker 2: into addiction and it's it's you know, hard to see,
Speaker 2: like you know, stories of Robin Williams. It's like the
Speaker 2: funniest people are sometimes the most depressed people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true, It's really true. I think comedians, one
Speaker 3: or just people who rely on humor to get by
Speaker 3: are very sensitive people. That's why we're able to see
Speaker 3: things in a very special way. We're very sensitive on
Speaker 3: how people. Okay, So I think it was Chris Rock
Speaker 3: who said, you know, the job of a comic is
Speaker 3: very hard because you have to look at a room
Speaker 3: of a thousand people and make them all laugh at
Speaker 3: the same moment, and like you have to treat all
Speaker 3: a thousand people as if they're one person. So to
Speaker 3: do that, you have to be really in tuned on
Speaker 3: how people are feeling. To be in tune with how
Speaker 3: people are feeling, you have to be in tuned with
Speaker 3: just feelings in general. So I think people don't realize
Speaker 3: although a comic or a clown or whoever's the funniest
Speaker 3: in the room is probably the one most in touch
Speaker 3: with emotions. Even though they seem very smiley and happy,
Speaker 3: there's a lot going on underneath to make them that good. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like I remember I was filming this movie with Adam
Speaker 2: Sandler God when I was like ninety h no, I
Speaker 2: was twenty one, and Jim Carrey like came on the
Speaker 2: set because he was in the same lot, and I
Speaker 2: just like imagine right in my mind, I'm like, okay,
Speaker 2: he's Jim Carrey, Like he's going to be just so
Speaker 2: over the top and like funny and like extroverted, and
Speaker 2: he was just the most shy person I've ever met.
Speaker 2: And I was like, oh wow, that was kind of
Speaker 2: my first because because Adam was Adam, like, he was funny,
Speaker 2: he was kind, like you know, And it's not that
Speaker 2: Jim Carrey wasn't kind, he was just I just was.
Speaker 2: That was my first interaction. I was like, oh wow,
Speaker 2: like he's very quiet. So I thought that was interesting.
Speaker 3: When you're in the green people think, in like the
Speaker 3: green room, what's it is? Like five comics on the
Speaker 3: on the set because like in New York, a lot
Speaker 3: of the comedy shows isn't headliner. They'll have like five
Speaker 3: six comics, and everyone thinks in the green room, it's
Speaker 3: like a party, and it's so fun No, these comics
Speaker 3: are so depressed. I mean, I remember my ex boyfriend
Speaker 3: when I first started doing comedy, like hated thought. I
Speaker 3: was like having orgies with all these guys backstage. I'm like,
Speaker 3: do you know how depressed these guys are? And they
Speaker 3: can't talk, they can't hold the conversation like they're in
Speaker 3: their own mind. They're so I am one of the
Speaker 3: more happier comedians. They're so dark, but I think that
Speaker 3: helps them be so funny on stage.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting. I'm just gonna out myself. So they
Speaker 2: a lot of adult children of alcoholics are funny, uh
Speaker 2: huh because we really just struggled our whole life, and
Speaker 2: so it's funny because it's like it's like an avoidance
Speaker 2: to a way. But then it's also just like this
Speaker 2: like really tied into all the emotions, walking down eggshells,
Speaker 2: like you just want to like keep things moving and
Speaker 2: keep things light. But it's I've not heard people speak
Speaker 2: as like openly as you just did about like I mean,
Speaker 2: I said it in a show one time we did
Speaker 2: wind down and I was like, yeah, I mean, I've
Speaker 2: got adult child of alcoholic written all over me. It's
Speaker 2: the comic relief, right, Like it can be serious for
Speaker 2: like four seconds and then I gotta get us back,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think also like childhood, trauma really develops thos
Speaker 3: like comedy chops.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: So the word your childhood was the funnier you're probably
Speaker 3: gonna be for exactly what you said, like you want
Speaker 3: to in the mood. You have about four seconds of
Speaker 3: seriousness and then we have to make people laugh to
Speaker 3: make the situation better.
Speaker 1: Well, it's like your TikTok video. It's like I almost
Speaker 1: feel bad laughing, you know, because it's like you're laughing
Speaker 1: about your grandmother dying, and I'm like, this is hilarious,
Speaker 1: but it's not hilarious, you know. I mean it's like.
Speaker 3: I am shocked. I am shocked. And that was the
Speaker 3: video because that was so dark for any of your
Speaker 3: listeners who are listening the video I find into I
Speaker 3: find in twenty twenty my goals list for twenty twenty
Speaker 3: that I wrote in twenty nineteen, and everything on my
Speaker 3: goals list was the opposite of what happened, such as
Speaker 3: like you more social, cry less, and the last one
Speaker 3: was spend more time with my grandma and I'm laughing
Speaker 3: so hard and I barely get the words out and
Speaker 3: she died right, which, like again, is so dark, especially
Speaker 3: because it was during the time when like everyone's grandma,
Speaker 3: Yeah we're dying, like it was all old people going first.
Speaker 3: And when I posted it, I was definitely a little
Speaker 3: tipsy if I was completely so I think it's been
Speaker 3: a little too dark to boast, you know, And thank
Speaker 3: god I was like a bottle deep because it sounds
Speaker 3: of funny, but it's called trauma, like is funny like dark,
Speaker 3: and you know they say comedies tragedy plus time. I didn't.
Speaker 3: I didn't give it time. I just posted, so it
Speaker 3: really you know, but yeah, Trauma's great.
Speaker 2: I think you were sent to me today. I really
Speaker 2: needed your perspective. Trauma is make this.
Speaker 3: Write that trauma down and do five minutes at one
Speaker 3: of your.
Speaker 1: Things you got to do. It's just like laugh about
Speaker 1: your trauma.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we do well at that, and we sure do.
Speaker 2: Who are who are the comedians that you look up
Speaker 2: to from the past and present?
Speaker 3: Well, it's funny you say Sebastian Man of Scalco because
Speaker 3: about I want to say, like six years ago I
Speaker 3: opened for him at a comedy club in Jersey and
Speaker 3: again this was he sold out the six shows, but
Speaker 3: the comedy club is only like three hundred seats. Now
Speaker 3: he's doing Madison Square Gardens all now. So he had
Speaker 3: a fan base, but he hadn't exploded the way he
Speaker 3: is now. And I did like fifteen minutes, and then
Speaker 3: I brought him up and he did an hour and ten.
Speaker 3: For that hour and ten, he was one hundred and
Speaker 3: ten percent energy like he didn't he didn't dip down
Speaker 3: by the end. He and then we did the second
Speaker 3: show and the same thing. He gave them one hundred
Speaker 3: and ten percent. And I remember watching him and being like,
Speaker 3: when I get to do an hour and ten, I
Speaker 3: want to be as on as he was the whole time,
Speaker 3: and then for the next show, even if I'm tired,
Speaker 3: to still give it. So everybody he's hilarious, jokes are hilarious.
Speaker 3: But what I thought was so great was that he
Speaker 3: gave so much of himself for that audience from the
Speaker 3: second he got on safe to the end, and that
Speaker 3: like really drives me now whenever I'm performing, like, I
Speaker 3: don't care if I'm tired, I don't care if I
Speaker 3: have my period, I don't care if this they're gonna
Speaker 3: get the best show ever. So him and then I mean,
Speaker 3: I just love Joan Rivers. She was just unapologetically herself
Speaker 3: and would just say she'd go for what was funny,
Speaker 3: not what was correct to say. I love that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've I was watching something about Joan Gosh. It
Speaker 2: was a maybe like a month or so ago, and
Speaker 2: they were basically saying, like, would she survive in today's
Speaker 2: cancel culture because she would say things that were just
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, but it was funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of comedians.
Speaker 3: Do you think she would so like because she would
Speaker 3: I feel like she could get canceled. But I feel
Speaker 3: like she was so untouchable. But I don't know, what
Speaker 3: do you think?
Speaker 2: I go back and forth. I just I honestly, I
Speaker 2: like the fact this is what I love about comedy. Right,
Speaker 2: is because you go to shows and like, you know,
Speaker 2: the last one I think that I went to was Sebastians,
Speaker 2: and you know, he can say the things that we
Speaker 2: want to say and but we can we can't, but
Speaker 2: but y'all can. And I think it's funny that, like
Speaker 2: they aren't having to be so politically correct because I
Speaker 2: think the political correctness, I'm like, can we just all
Speaker 2: laugh about this because it is funny, you know, and like, yeah,
Speaker 2: there's they don't mean harm by it. I think people
Speaker 2: just are so sensitive that it just is like, okay,
Speaker 2: come on, we can we can't say anything, but comedians can.
Speaker 2: And I love that piece, So that's why.
Speaker 3: We can say it in the comedy clubs. Like I
Speaker 3: find in the comedy club, I'm saying outrageous stuff. But
Speaker 3: what I post online I know I could get canceled.
Speaker 3: So I'm like, and it's so funny. There's things I've
Speaker 3: posted that, Like, I mean, I know people will complain
Speaker 3: no matter what.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, really, that's what's bothering you, Like, come
Speaker 1: to a show and listen to what I say exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wondered that that was actually that was going
Speaker 2: to lead me into something I was going to say,
Speaker 2: because it's to me, it's the comic relief is that
Speaker 2: we still get to go sit in those rooms and
Speaker 2: laugh about things we probably shouldn't laugh about, but like
Speaker 2: it feels like the most honest space to me, I
Speaker 2: think is what I've always felt, and I just really
Speaker 2: am drawn to that. So do you ever get nervous
Speaker 2: when you're in those rooms? Like I've had a vulnerability
Speaker 2: hangover from this podcast for sure, But then like when
Speaker 2: we do wind down, I mean we kind of like
Speaker 2: we really off the record it and then we'll leave
Speaker 2: and I'm like, God, I hope no one like recorded that,
Speaker 2: or you know, like you just start to like do
Speaker 2: you ever feel that when you get done? I mean,
Speaker 2: dead grandma, none of it.
Speaker 3: No, I get scared every time I post a video
Speaker 3: like oh is this gonna get me canceled? And I
Speaker 3: pushing into it. But in the comedy clubs, note also
Speaker 3: there's no recording allowed. I know someone can record. I mean,
Speaker 3: I don't really say anything that offensive anyway, I'm pretty
Speaker 3: just because as a human, I'm not that offense. You know,
Speaker 3: that's not my comedy, That's not how I talk. But
Speaker 3: uh yeah, no, I guess it's sometimes when I say
Speaker 3: something and I'm like, oh geez, that was that was
Speaker 3: a little color, Like that's a little much. But it's
Speaker 3: not the stand up that scares me. It's social media,
Speaker 3: which is just terrifying because I've seen people get canceled
Speaker 3: for the dumbest Do you remember I don't know if
Speaker 3: you guys are like big into the makeup TikTok scene,
Speaker 3: but there was this girl, Mikaela who like said, do
Speaker 3: you guys have no clue what I'm to say?
Speaker 2: So we need you. Yeah, he has like.
Speaker 3: Fifteen million followers. She was like the biggest makeup TikTok
Speaker 3: her And she was doing an ad for a Miss
Speaker 3: Scara and she's like puts it on and she's like, look,
Speaker 3: this is like amazing, Miss Scara. It was an ad,
Speaker 3: it was you know, social media ad, but it was
Speaker 3: very clear she had fake eyelashes on because it cut
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden, her eyelashes big and
Speaker 3: someone wrote like in the comments, like, is this really
Speaker 3: just the miscarage? You have fake eyelashes on? And she
Speaker 3: was like, no, it's the Miss Scara. And then it
Speaker 3: just became Miscaregate and people were like, no, you clearly have,
Speaker 3: and everyone from like Jeffrey Star to every makeup person
Speaker 3: was weighing in and she got canceled and had to
Speaker 3: leave the internet for a month over Miss Scara, Like
Speaker 3: she didn't even do anything offensive. She just kind of
Speaker 3: lied while doing an ad, which who I mean, you know,
Speaker 3: you guys have done ads, like they give you a script,
Speaker 3: you tell you say what you're kind of will say,
Speaker 3: you do your personal experience, but it's not that serious.
Speaker 3: She got canceled. Oh, Miss Scara, you know, yeah, So
Speaker 3: that's that's scary to me. It's like the mob vinality
Speaker 3: coming for you.
Speaker 2: That's what I always get afraid of. Like I said
Speaker 2: last week on this podcast that I had basically put
Speaker 2: the drawbridge up at our house. We're expecting our third
Speaker 2: baby at the beginning of June, and I was like,
Speaker 2: no visitors, no mother in law and my mom, like
Speaker 2: I've kept everyone, like the gates are closed until July,
Speaker 2: just because I I'm like third time, I'm forty one,
Speaker 2: Like I just don't need to entertain it. And I
Speaker 2: left here and I was like, oh, the hate's going
Speaker 2: to roll in, like you know, like from the Grand
Speaker 2: the angry grandmothers or whoever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I know, like people like getting upset these days,
Speaker 3: they want to stand up for something. I'm like, there's
Speaker 3: other things you can find.
