00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: saw Sarah Cooper's Netflix special Everything's Fine, where you play

12
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 2: a cupcake cake making crazy Karen Karen to Karen Dream.

13
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 4: Absolutely, what a joy to play that, and thank you

00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 4: so much Sarah Cooper for inviting me to do it.

16
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 4: It's a whole phenomenon that has been this whole Karen phenomenon,

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 4: this whole can I speak to the manager phenomenon.

18
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 3: And hopefully the air in.

19
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 4: That balloon is going right on with the advent of

20
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 4: the Joe Biden Kamala Harris Rain, we will a lot

21
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 4: of that stuff will just go away and we won't

22
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 4: be filming it anymore and we won't be getting our

23
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 4: undies in a.

24
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 3: Not over it.

25
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: Well, you've got you're in Undie territory right now. Over

26
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: there in the stits has has things going well.

27
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 4: You know, in my immediate environment, everybody's really relieved. There

28
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 4: was an immediate kind of sense of joy, almost like

29
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 4: we didn't realize how much stress we were carrying over

30
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 4: the last three and a half years. I've had like

31
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 4: a low grade depression in the last three and a

32
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 4: half years. And my partner said, like about a month ago,

33
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 4: she said, do you know this coincides with Trump being

34
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 4: in office?

35
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 3: And you know what, it's almost completely lifted.

36
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 4: I don't feel that heaviness anymore. There's was such a

37
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 4: fear and heaviness and is this the country we're going

38
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 4: to live in? And it looks like it's not. I mean,

39
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 4: he has seventy days to burn the house down, and

40
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 4: hopefully he won't before Joe Biden, by law, we'll be

41
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 4: able to walk into the White House and take control.

42
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: And a wife from to chimps, which sort of dove

43
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: tiles nicely into your lightest bench.

44
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 4: Nice well, tell us about the chimps we'll meet the

45
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 4: chimps is there's a sanctuary Louisiana for chimps that have

46
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 4: been quote unquote retired, they've been in labs, they've been

47
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 4: they haven't been able to have a life of a chimp,

48
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 4: and they put them into little societies.

49
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 3: So these chimps get to live like chimps are meant

50
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 3: to live in these hierarchical societies, you know, and they're

51
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 3: not far from us. They're very much like us.

52
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,119
Speaker 4: There's so there's someone who's the top dog, if you will,

53
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 4: the top chimp, and then there's a hierarchy, and the

54
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 4: lower down the hierarchy you are.

55
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: The harder it is to live. But everybody has the

56
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 3: drama the way we do. So it's a bit of

57
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 3: a reality show.

58
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 4: We kind of take the point of view of this

59
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 4: is almost like the Housewives of We've got four or

60
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 4: five different societies, and you know, they do not meet,

61
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 4: they stay separated, and they if they do meet, it's war.

62
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: So it's very much like tribes. But they're adorable.

63
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 4: It's delicious to watch them go through their lives and

64
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 4: have their interactions and how sweet they can be with

65
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 4: each other and what.

66
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 3: Assholes they can be with each other, just like us,

67
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 3: but it is a delight to watch.

68
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 4: They all have names and personalities and their own characters

69
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 4: and some of them are very funny, and some of

70
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 4: them are so sweet and touching, and it's just wonderful.

71
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 4: You're just gonna really love it. It's on Disney Plus

72
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 4: and it's it's a great way to just spend some

73
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 4: glorious time.

74
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: And you're then the writer of this. Did you pick

75
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: up any tips from, say, David Attenborough or anything like that?

76
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: Oh, you know what I've got. I could would would

77
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: I were as good as he is.

78
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 4: But this is more of a you know, I get

79
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 4: to narrate kind of the drama, so it's a I

80
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 4: get to be very dramatic and also very lighthearted.

81
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 3: But no Attenborough for me, because maybe my next project.

82
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: I think it's only two percent of DNA that separates

83
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: us from the change.

84
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: What I've heard amazing. Isn't it very close?

85
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, we're they're very close to us. We're very close

86
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 4: to them. Absolutely, we're all primates.

87
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: What was some of the funny behaviors that you saw.

88
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 4: There's this little chimp named Riley, and he is tipic.

89
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 4: He is all boy, if you will, He's a little guy.

90
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 4: He's young, he's I think he's three or four, but

91
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 4: he is a nuisance and just the way little boys

92
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 4: can be. He's always playing pranks on people. He's stealing

93
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 4: from people. And you know, the mother chimps, they all,

94
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 4: you know, it takes a village. They basically all raise

95
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 4: the chimps themselves and the way that they you know,

96
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 4: chase him down and show him what's what.

97
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 3: And then basically he's you know.

98
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 4: Kind of flipping them off when they behind their back.

99
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 4: So he is, he is so full of life and

100
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 4: he's funny. And then there's an ape character and a

101
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 4: chimp character named Barbara, and she is the old Crone

102
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 4: and she's cranky and she has zero you know.

103
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: What's left.

104
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 4: She's very much just like she's had a life and

105
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 4: it's been a tough life and now everybody's waiting on her.

106
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: This sounds so good And I'm just asking for a friend.
