It was like braces, suspenders, belts, ties.
And it's an industry that kind of died.
Right.
So he moved there in the 80s with me and my mom,
and then they had my brother.
And then so that's why we moved to Texas. And did he do that all the way you were growing me and my mom and then they had my brother and then and then so that was
that's why we moved to Texas and that he do that all
your while you were growing up. Yeah, he was a salesman.
So like a travel like a road guy really is a road dog.
So there was no store. He was a show room.
Oh, they used to do it back when my credit started.
It was three stooges.
It was a showroom and then you send your reps out you
would take orders and you go all over with like your rolling rack
Like just schlepping that's crazy. Yeah, so any city I go to he's like
They still got Murray's over there right that's right and what's your mom do
She was a mom and then they divorced and she got into marketing and my dad is and so it's what age was the divorce

And so that was a lot of like trips.
You stayed in Texas with your mom. Texas.
Got you. My mom and my brother.
And then my mom remarried when I was like 14 or 15.
So I went to a nice high school.
And my brother and I did not live in the same house.
Where did he live?
Does that count as garbage?
Yeah, this is the show.
This is what we're talking about.
No one was getting abused or anything.
My brother was like, you know, maybe garbage.
And so he went to go live with my dad and my stepmom
down the street.
They moved back from the East Coast.
Wait, so they divorced?
Your dad moved back to the East Coast
and then back to where your mom was?
They came back because they were like, you know,
we need to help your brother.
So my brother, so they came back.
Troubled youth a bit.
Yeah, you know, like skateboarding at a time
when it wasn't acceptable.
Sure, sure.
And bashing a kid's teeth in, using the college fund
to pay for his new teeth, stuff like that.
Sure.
My teeth are real.
This kid's all right.
My brother is a marijuana grower now,
so I got that plug if you need anything.
There you go.

Okay.
Which is a little less trashy.
And now one of them lives in Philly.
Okay.
Nice, and so.
That sounds like mainline.
Yeah, I like it.
Mainline blood.
And so I lived with my mom and my stepdad,
and we went to a nice neighborhood,
still somewhat near my dad,
and then they had two kids,

Like when I was the president of that, when I read Coca Cola.
And you're like, what the fuck? Yes. He's one of those.
And where did your mom and him meet?
Did they meet in Texas or met in Dallas?
Okay, not married Randy was was so great
And he used to take me to tutoring and I was like we both know I'm not gonna understand long division
But we can go and he would get me a juice
What was a nice high school you went to private public went to a private school? Okay called Green Hill, okay in Dallas and
It's the only reason I can retain information
because college didn't instill any of those skills in me.
I went there and then I graduated.
I got in nowhere.
All my friends got to go to nice schools.
I got in, when I say nowhere, like not even waitlisted.
Like they read the application, they were like,
you didn't, you just.
No state schools, nothing like that?
I didn't apply to, well,
I applied to the University of Kansas.
OK, by the grace of God, I got in there.
So I went.
Four years.
No, I went one year reapplied.
There's a lot of worried about being trash.
We are in. I've been to so many schools.
You got brother cousins and stuff.
Uh, and I went there for one year, reapplied to Emerson College in Boston.
OK, got in. Nice.
You do that like weird artsy. They have like like makeup majors there. one year reapplied to Emerson College in Boston. Okay. Got in. Nice.
You do that like weird artsy,
they have like, can't you like make up majors there?
Yeah, I majored in hand jobs.
Hey, me too.
I majored, I was a film major.
Now they have bullshit, like you can major in funny.
You can major in stand up comedy.
That's a good school, right?
Emerson's a good school, correct?
Emerson's a good school.
Okay.
And I love that people think that,
so I'm just like, yeah, it's so hard.
I totally didn't write a term paper on anaconda and get a D on it.
The snake's out there this big?
I wrote a compare and contrast and I forgot to contrast and I was like, why do I have
to do this?
And so, did that, graduated early from Emerson because my mother paid for my college education.
Okay.
So I didn't have to pay for anything
but she was like, do me a favor,
take community college classes over the summer
so I don't have to like pay over for your gen-ed.
So we can cut a year off.
Gotcha.
Well, just cause you're paying for like,
you know, interpretive dance and you could do it.
Like art history or something.
Even lighter than that, like photography 101.
It's like if you take it at UTD, which is universe, Texas at Dallas
It's cheaper. Okay, so I would come home in the summer
I would get a job and I would take these like classes like I took a dance class
With like some senior citizens and like that's half a credit
Water aerobics at the light at the pool just any over the jobs. What was your first job you had?
Yeah, it was your first job you had?
Yeah, it was your first job.
Okay, my first job, I went and I got a job at Cece's Pizza.
You know the buffet. Cece's, of course.
Like the buffet.
Like the buffet.
Whoa.
And I was so excited to have a job.
That's awesome.
Because my parents were hard workers
and I just was like, you know,
but I was the kind of school that you had
like five hours of homework and you had sports. So there wasn't time to do know, but I was the kind of school that you had like five hours of homework And you had sports so there wasn't time to do it
But I got the job and it was in just like a rough shopping center and my mom made me quit
Really? She's like, I don't know who's walking you to your car. You can't have it. Well, we haven't we working just like the weekends
I only got to go once
We're not coming back. I was so excited to work. I remember asking I was like, what can I do?
And he was like you can wipe down the buffet
I was like I will wipe down the buffet. Thank you so much. Um, it's weird how all of your flavors of pizza tastes the same
How old were you when you got that job? I maybe was like six. I must have had a car so 16
Okay, and then I I didn't get the job and then I think next year
I was able to get a job at Steve Madden at the mall
Which if you've ever worked in retail at the mall you are owed financial compensation for the PTSD of having to hear good Charlotte
On loop sure sure just hours and hours
Just when Steve Madden was hot. It's like the height of Steve Madden
This is when girls were coming in like can I get the cami and a size eight? I'm like, that's a big foot
We're out. I'm tired. I worked at the Speedo store because I was on the swim team.
I was like, this will be cool.
Okay.
Very special kind of hell.
Awful.
Only European people coming in at the time in Dallas, Texas, to buy a Speedo.
Sure.
Speedo store.
That's a board short state right there.
It's a board shorts covered up for Jesus.
And then I worked at the body shop not the strip club the like lotion soap store
Okay, here's the garbage in the same mall the Galleria. Oh, here's the garbage part
I'm like Lori. She's like Lori from Shark Tank the retail queen god damn. She's worked at every Annie and fucking um I
This was around y2k okay a lot of y2k prom stuff. I haven't heard someone say y2k in so long
I know I mean look at my resume. Obviously I lived through y2k. I was on the Phil Silver show apparently
In every mall in the bottom of the mall there's like a storage room for every store sure right
Okay, you say sure like you're like I knocked off a couple. No, I had a buddy who worked at Foot Locker
We had a lot of backdoor dealings in those hallways there you go
So it's all this y2k stuff
And you know you're constantly taking yourself off the shelves you put it down the storage you get a key and I was like
To my best friend. I was like they're not gonna sell this there's not gonna be another y2k for
thousands of years so uh let's take it so we got Michelle whoops Michelle got a copy made of the key
You think you're making copies of shit?
Satzuma body bars, Y2K messenger bags,
because it was not gonna go anywhere.
It was just gonna go in the garbage.
You made a key, that's crazy.
She, it's that special kind of like prep school,
like I'm never gonna get in trouble.
Yeah, that was her idea.
I was like, let's just take a few things.
She was like, I'm gonna get a key made.
Listen, get a fake ID, We're in a u-haul
Security guard. Yeah, we didn't like resell it. This wasn't like truck fit or anything
We just just for you just for me and to like give out his gifts because it was a school with
Kids who had a lot of money. So you like I gave you a Christmas gift. Like what do I get?
You know, and so you would hope you'd get something nice man. That is why I stole that's crazy
I stole it a lot of nut butters
Which would mean if there's women listening they'll be like oh my god
I remember those tubs what were the vacations like as a kid where would you guys go? What'd you guys do?
Probably get dad when Randy's around a little bit of cash. He did well
We went nice places when I was a kid we went to Club Med
Cuz I think that's where man. That's where parents took their kids was Club Med. I what I always I
Don't know what it is. Oh singles place. No, you're thinking
I always mix it up with hedonism. We stayed in the room for this wingers night
No Club Meds like in extapa Mexico like you take your we would go to Mexico because you live in Texas, right?
Right. I got that that makes sense
Never ski Club Med
Coming to Club Med SAS commonly knows previous Club Mediterranean is a French travel tourism operator
Yeah, it's just like it's just a resort. There's a resort. It just became a popular resort
So we went a little bit my parents were married and then
And then they got a divorce so I think I went once with my mom
But that's like always like not an ideal vacation right your parents are divorced. My brother was like a handful
And then I'm we never skied as kids because my dad said Jews don't ski they own the mountain
Whoa well we didn't know that's gotta be quoted so I gotta write that down somewhere
No, because that's something else. It's's a stupid quote and I'll tell you why.
A lot of Jews ski, we just didn't.
That's it.
I don't know.
Own the mountain.
How many Jews do you know that own nature?
They don't love the cold, but they do control the weather.
We do control the weather.
It's such a wild thing to put your foot down.
We don't ski.

Any weird pets, any turtles, anything like that?
Hamsters?
Yeah, had a lot of that.
Yeah? Really?
Yeah, at the old house right after my parent,
when it was just me and my mom and my brother,
we had a little atrium, like this big,
and the turtle lived there,
and we painted his shell blue so you could find him,
and my brother would bring home turtles and frogs.
So my mom would find them.
These guys bonkers. Oh my mom would find them.
Oh, my God. We had one like not a sea turtle.
You can't be having a fucking he lives in a bathtub for three years.
We had like a river turtle that lived.
We had like a tiny pond in the atrium.
It was literally I don't know how to do square feet, but small in the atrium
of the house. That's it's like I'm not sure what an atrium is.
It's like an outdoor outdoor area in the middle. Yeah. In the middle of of the house. That's it's like I'm not sure what an atrium is. It's like an out indoor outdoor area in the middle.
Yeah, in the middle of the pond almost.
Yeah, but like there was it was maybe the size of this table and a half.
Like it was OK.
We brought him home. We named him Gamera, like after the Japanese films.
And he lived out there.
And then one time I brought my mom brought home some crayfish.
OK, is in Texas. You eat like crawdads, you know, like the little one.
Sure. We put them in the backyard and the turtle ate them. And we came back and all the claws were everywhere and just totally dismembered
Bunny we had a lot of fish cuz my dad gave my mom a really nice fish tank for a gift and that was
The salt water no fresh fresh water
how big
big and
Expensive with like a lot of glass art in it.
And my mom's like, I've got to take care of this.
We had ghost fish. Where did it where did it live?
Where did the fish tank live in the house?
On the bar on the bar.
I had a filter. I remember that smell.
Yeah, that smells no good.
And then dead fish like get fluffy when they stick to the filter.
I had hamsters. I had guinea pigs.
Not for long.
I can't get a fucking read on this, bro.
Oh, thing is bug.
River turtles.
Atrium. That's like if that's not the duality of garbage and
I don't know. I don't know what's.
We had some dogs, but those are the I remember my brother had a lot of turtles
and frogs that would go missing.
And then you find a dried one because they just like we had them.
Was the atrium kind of in the house like they had access to the house?
Like the turtle could walk into the kitchen if it wanted to.
There's no indoor outdoor policy.
It had no. We're not like Steve Irwin's family.
Rest in peace.
So this is in the backyard.
In the atrium, the backyard was on the side.
OK, well, I have to.
This is how stupid a atrium
It's like an indoor outlet you would see in like like an office building like we're like employees can go to smoke a cigarette
Yeah, oh you had one of those they had a smoking section that thank you for putting it for the turtle
You had a silly you get a section like this like it would be like a
Got small small gotcha man. That's a small, small, small house, small atrium. I had a
pet a dog. We had a dog at one point that we had to get rid of
because it was too much. So my mom gave it away to a neighbor.
So my brother and I would just like visit the dog through the
window. Tippi. Come by and see him anytime. And that's crazy.
Just kind of like how it was. And then that's crazy. That's just kinda like how it was. And then. That's crazy.
Anyway. What would be like if you guys were going out to dinner, like a Friday night,
the fam's going out to dinner, where would they take you? In high school, there's this
story that my parents love to tell about the time I ate four lobsters at dinner. Because
they had like a lobster special. Where? At Trulux. I know, I've been to that.
I went to the one in Houston, great restaurant.
Same thing.
That's Clay C.
It was nice, and to this day, I'm 41.
They're like, do you remember?
Four lobsters.
You're so hungry from all your sports,
and lobster's so good.
I need the protein.
I was so hungry.
How were you in sports?
Were you good?
Did you excel?
I was good enough.
Excelling is putting it strongly. I swam. I played lacrosse.
But it's a private school, so you're on the team.
Right away.
But you may not be starting.
But we were pretty good at lacrosse.
But if you took us out of the state to go play like a school
from Delaware, which we did, you get spanked.
Gotcha.
These girls are in skirts in 10-degree weather,
just sweating, and you're just like freezing your nips off
What was the first car? What was your first car that you got a 99 brand new Chevy Blazer?
Well with the splash decal no shit on the side. I know that
99 Chevy Blazer I saw that splash decal and I was like people are gonna know I go fast
Is that a birth was that a birthday present? It was a a year 16 here's the car Randy got you my mom got it. Okay. My mom did everything
Yeah
Caffeine free Coca-Cola can color that like gold they called it pewter sure
Comparable to a GMC Jimmy right sure shout out to the Jimmy

Did you do anything to it tins the windows put some subwoofers in there anything?
I asked if I could get my last name in that like Latin Spanish
Like old English, and she was like absolutely not some lunatics gonna follow you home. What are you a Latin King?
Who does that? I did it on the back window you wanted it wanted it
Nothing, I didn't I didn't think to do anything to it, but CD player CD player and I owned
I remember buying Matchbox 20 and being like this is that with that Carlos Santana collab
Sure, I gotta be honest with you. I sort of listen a little Matchbox 20 as of recent holds up
Oh, yeah, they're all the songs
Yeah, it's great. I'm like I forgot about this one the deep cuts. They were huge man. They were that kid had a right
I'm sorry. What are you their PR guy? What the fuck? I'm Rob Thomas's dad
He had a big career after that
I bought the CD and a Whitney Houston's anyways, I had a CD and a CD book
We all had the book has no idea how old you guys are.
You could just look bad for being young or you could just be my age.
You could just look really unhealthy.
I'm 22 and he's 17.
You're a Philly 22.
It's a little bit of both.
You're not wrong.
You read it.
He's wow.
Are you 48?
48 and I'm 38.
Great for 48.
What was the blow right by me?
That's all the time we had today, folks.
What were the posters in the room?
I had a Bone Thugs and Harmony poster.
Jesus Christ.
And I miss my uncle Charles, you know, my uncle.
And my first time I played Cleveland, I had they didn't have Uber at the time.
I had the runner take me to East 99 and St.
Clair to take a picture because that was from the album.
No context for what that actually signified,
but I was like, I gotta take a picture,
because this is from the song.
And I really enjoyed them, they were so melodic.
They were great.
That was the poster.
I had a bullfighting poster, because I went to Spain
when I was 16 for the summer.
For the summer?
You're not gonna get a read on me.
For a program, yeah.
Okay, did you live with a family? No, it was just like a bunch of students, For the summer. You're not going to get a read on me. For a program. Yeah. OK.
Do you live with a family?
No, it was just like a bunch of students and you like live on a college campus
and you like pretend you're learning Spanish, but you're really just having wine.
Did you learn Spanish?
A little bit more than I had. OK.
And so to this day, I can only speak in the present tense,
but I can go to Mexico and be fine.
You get us out of there if we got jammed up and get you out of there. OK.
As long as we stay in Club Med for sure.
The present tense.
Huh.
Yeah, there's no past tense in my Spanish or future.
What was the first concert?
That's so embarrassing because...
Bone Thugs in Harmony.
I did try to go and I couldn't get in
and I don't remember why,
but I will tell you to this day,
as of last week, I think
I've been to five concerts in my whole life.
Hit me with them.
Last week I went to see this band called The Anniversary.
That was a big Midwest pop punk sort of band when I was younger and I'm friends with them
now and that was great.
We had a show in Detroit the other week and Sturgill Simpson was next door.
And so we were just like, hey, Live Nation, can we have tickets?
Because we're all that family.
And so we got to go and that was Nation, can we have tickets? Because we're all that family. And so we got to go. And that was cool.
I've seen Britney Spears twice.
Okay. Both times underwhelming,
unfortunately, like as back in the day.
This is like prime after popping, like after when she was going
through stuff, but we didn't know it.
So now that I look back, I'm like, yeah,
she really didn't move her legs much.
Now we get why. Sure.
That was not great.
Even though we were on mushrooms and they didn't kick in.
Mushrooms at a Britney Spears concert.
She's got bunk mushrooms at a Britney Spears concert.
Yeah, I don't think I've been.
I just don't.
I'm not one of the.
And I also work when there's concerts.
So like, you know, of course now I can't.
But even then I just never.
I saw Jethro Tull was my first concert because my mom worked
for a radio station.
What?
When?
When I was like 13.
I feel like she's lived a thousand lives, dude.
What would she do?
She worked for a radio station called 107.5 The Oasis.
And so it was like smooth listening.
Was she a DJ?
Was she doing like drive time?
She was, yeah.
No.
Rare bit in the bird.
No, it was, she worked on like sales.
She sold air.
Rare bit in the bird.
Welsh rare bit in the bird.
Coming at you.
She was Tom from Bob and Tom.
That's funny.
She had I've been on that.
That wasn't on my credits, but I've been on that.
And I had to go with her.
And so she tried to amp me up in the car.
She said Jethro Tull was the flautist.
And he and everyone and it's not for a kid.
You're just sure that was my first concert with Jethro Tull.
Jethro Tull. Could you guys eat in your room when you were a kid? You're just like, sure. That was my first concert with Jethro Tull. Jethro Tull.
Could you guys eat in your room when you were a kid?
I don't think so.
I remember my mom.
I have a thin mom.
OK.
I remember hearing all the time, like, the kitchen's closed.
Really?
They shut it down at a certain point.
You can't go.
That's when you can't eat anymore, Fattie.
It's closed, yeah.
And so in your mind, you're like, oh, I guess I can't go in there.
There's hours of operation. Yeah, like, we had dinner. Now it's closed. I mean, so in your mind you're like, oh, I guess I can't go in there. There's hours of operation.
Yeah, like we had dinner, now it's closed.
I mean, she doesn't like anyone eating.
She calls my dog Munch Mouth.
She'll yell, I don't know if you know any Yiddish,
if you eat too much you go,
Khazar, which really is hurtful
because Khazar means like someone who's gluttonous.
So I just hear my mom be like, Khazar.
What are you looking at?
I'm just saying hi to you.
I remember one time I put Halloween candy in my room,
and I made a little room in my closet.
I was like, you know as a kid you want your own space?
Sure.
It was that or the hamper, because I could fit in it.
And I brought my candy, and then there were ants.
And I just remember it was like your apartment got flooded,
like all my things.
No.
Wait, you used to hide in the hamper as a kid?
Because all the blankets were in there,
so you could bring a book or a Game gameboy you could like be surrounded by blankets
Is that what every kid wants sure you're saying I've noted the shore is like no
Sure is me trying to understand it a little more hamper. I get it. Okay
I just never thought about it. Was there a pool? Do you guys have a pool?
In high school, we had a pool.
In ground or above ground?
In ground.
You think Randy's doing fucking above ground in Dallas?
They got snapping turtles in the way.
We lived in the city limits.
It was in ground.
Everyone in Texas, though, has a pool.
Of course, yeah.
And it did have a diving board.
I don't remember.
Was it like that?
They got those shitty diving boards got popular.
There was no was there a bounce to a little bit of give a little bit of bounce
unnecessarily in a unnecessarily six foot pool.
That's legal. I think that's got to have at least eight feet.
That's a lot of traction.
Yeah. We had the diving board and we had a nice backyard.
So we have parties.
Our mom who cut the grass.
Randy or somebody come and cut it.
Randy's a goddamn fucking he's doing insider trading.
He's not got the grass.
I don't know who cut the grass.
He's got a god damn safari.
No, my brother didn't live with us.
OK, no, we didn't cut cut it. All right.
I know that makes me sound out of touch, but I'm not running for fucking president.
So I'm sorry.
Does it make you cut my own grass?
You said you went on a fucking safari. It does not sound out of touch that that that not running for fucking president so I'm sorry. That doesn't make you... I didn't cut my own grass. You said you went on a fucking safari.
It does not sound out of touch that you got caught up on the fucking cutting your own
grass.
There's different price points for safaris.
You could go look at rats.
You could hit a Six Flags if you want.
You could take the L and see lots of animals.
Go look at rats.
Yeah.
Hmm.
Alright.
What's the diagnosis?
It ain't good.
It's weird because you have, you grew up with money.
Randy did well, you know, but...
You're well traveled?
Middle class.
You kind of speak Spanish?
I don't want to brag.
I got to push back, you're not doing a safari middle class.
But that's a nice big... but it's not like we...
You did it every week, I get it, but still.
We did it every week.
I'm saying it's not like you did it every week.
It's not every week, yeah, yeah.
How long were you there?
How long was the safari?
A couple weeks, we either?
It's like a year, like you pack... no. You bring the of weeks. We're here like you know, you bring the nanny.
We did a semester.
Now you go. It's how you got to get to Africa.
I know it's got to be worth it. Sure.
Went for a weekend.
A quick little glance at the Lions.
OK, we take it.
We it was I think it was like a priority
to like take nice trips with your family while you can.
Sure. Sure. I get that.
And then I would go places in the summer.
So I would-
Were you a Crystal Light family growing up?
No, but I will say this.
My stepmom drank Tab.
Tab.
Loved Tab.
What would you drink?
What were you guys allowed to have for dinner?
Water.
It was big water.
It was water.
I, juice, regular juice.
We never,
my friend Aaron was the one that had the Capri Sun
Sprite Dunkaroos, like that was the house you'd go to.
Gotcha.
And you could just eat all that.
We didn't have junk food, not,
my husband grew up with like, hearts of palm is candy,
like hippie California food.
We just had like wheat bread and like,
nice, like fruit roll-ups were a really big deal.
No sugar cereal. We probably did, cause I think my brother and I were like, give us rollups were a really big deal. No sugar cereal.
We probably did because I think my brother and I were like, OK, we're both thin.
Can we have some break?
What was the first time you had Nutella?
Do you remember as an adult, as an adult, because everybody acts
like they've been on Nutella forever.
It's a European. And it's I love Nutella's ads because they're like,
it's only a touch.
It's a little bit of cocoa and it's almost a hazelnut and milk.
It's good for you. It's like this is garbage.
This is sugar. It's all palm oil.
Yeah. Like orangutans are dying.
You're a Nutella shipped to you in this plastic thing.
And I don't love it.
And I know I'm supposed to love it.
Any karate classes, dance classes, anything like that?
As a adult. Any karate classes, dance classes, anything like that?
As a adult. Yeah.
I'm a white woman.
She's in a Tiger Shulman.
Just me and like, just owning six little kids.
As a kid, anything like that.
As a child, I think I was in like brownies.
And when your parents get divorced,
they're seven. Brownies, wow.
That's above, yeah, Girl Scouts.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I forgot about brownies.
Brownies is above Girl Scouts?
Yeah. I think it's bigger than girl, or maybe it brownies. Brownies is above Girl Scouts? Yeah.
I think it's bigger than girl.
Or maybe it's before.
Did you guys sell any cookies?
So they're really easy to steal.
No, we didn't sell any cookies.
But we had the one friend who her mom was like the den mother.
But our meetings were just going to her house
and eating Rice Krispie treats.
I don't remember selling any.
It's hard to sell the cookies.
And moms usually do it.
And my mom was working.
So we didn't sell cookies. I'm trying to think of class. I just played a lot of cookies. And moms usually do it, and my mom was working. So we didn't sell cookies.
I'm trying to think of, I just played a lot of sports,
and I played sports.
I did the YMCA basketball and softball.
My dad coached it.
So you have to be very, you have to be sweating a lot
in Texas and playing a sport, otherwise they kick you out.
And so I was the catcher.
Any braces?
I had braces and this thing called a bionator, I think.
It had like pistons on the side.
It was disgusting.
What did it like open it up for?
Wait, was it connected to the tops and bottom?
Uh-huh.
I had like, so your mouse would,
I think it was, I don't know what it was for.
They just gave it to me, but I had braces.
Ah, my blood's running cold.
I had something like that.
They were called Jasper jumpers.
They looked like two cables.
It was- Attached to electrodes.
It was like-
Who's your dentist, the pet boys. It was all like a crazy
It was supposed to cure my
Overbite, okay, maybe I yeah, I mean it didn't work though. You know they were so brutal. It's bad
He's got bad job braces for like five years, and they were that was terrible with braces
I had braces, and then I had to do Invisalign as an adult
And then I just don't cheat though. They're the bottom's crooked, but I don't care.
Who cares about bottom teeth?
Man, this is.
Let's talk, all right, so the-
What are you looking for?
Because I did something garbagey last night, I can tell you.
We'll get there, we'll get there.
Because I locked it.
Let's switch into, all right, so your first,
what was your first big check that you were like?
And when did you start staying there?
Right out of college?
Yeah, I think I started about 21.
Okay.
But professionally, I became a professional,
I guess it's hard to define professional, professional,
but I did quit my day job, and I borrowed money,
and I paid it back to buy a computer,
so I could have a computer.
Okay. And I was supporting myself
Writing for people and doing stuff and then when I won last comic standing that was 2008
So that was the first big check gotcha. What was that check? That was a quarter of a million dollars
That was big bad with that show was huge at the time
Well season was that? Is this season six?
No, was that like it was, yeah, it was.
It was after the show had hit its popularity,
so I caught it right at the decline,
like the fall of Rome, before it completely disintegrated.
So season six.
How long were you would stand up at that point?
Three years.
Three years.
250 G.
Did you start in LA or did you start in Texas. I started in L.A. started in L.A. Yeah I went to
college and then I got to L.A. and I immediately just got a
job. I like got a job like I went to a temp agency and they
put me somewhere and then somehow I stayed and I was just
like an assistant. Not great. You know I would like pull my
boss out of calls to be like can I read you a sketch. I wrote
this sketch about this girl who hates her job.
And he was so supportive.
And then one day I was just like, you know what?
I got asked to do a military tour and I was like,
I think I can do this full time if I cobble together
enough tiny paychecks.
So I called my mom, I was like, I'm gonna quit this job.
She was like, okay.
And I did it.
Parents have always been supportive of it.
That's good.
Because I was supportive myself.
What'd you do with 250?
Any stupid purchase? Stupid, no. Or like, what'd you do with his 250s? Any stupid purchase?
Stupid, no.
Or like, what'd you do with it?
I immediately went shopping
and I bought like some nice t-shirts.
Okay.
I was like, this is so great.
And then I bought a condo.
Smart. Smart.
Yeah.
You still own that condo?
No.
I sold it to buy my first house.
And then that was a few houses ago,
but I lived in a house by myself.
Yeah, yeah.
You're doing well.
That's pretty good.
But I bought it.
Two at the beacon.
Two, only two.
Yeah, it's a shame.
And so that was, yeah, I had a little condo
in not a great neighborhood.
Whoops, it's LA.
And then-
How old are you at the time when you buy this condo?
26?
26 buying a condo?
And then just on the road like every day for your entire life like
Just touring. What was that? So Jake you hit last comic standing. What did that's like weekends at clubs then like you're right Now you're your tickets. Yeah, it's clubs clubs It's clubs. Like you have the funny bones, and you're in the improvs.

The Funny Farm and Wiley's and stuff.
Yeah, just with no real reference for the way
to do it or to fly first class.
Like, you're flying coach.
You get no opener that you don't approve of.
Like, you don't get an opener you approve of.
You're just there. And they get you in there on like a Wednesday
So you can wake up for press on some like radio station that talks about football and you have to act like you care
Baltimore
You're over it
Thursday Friday three shows Saturday three shows Sunday and
Probably get a little drunk after each one, never

I had a dog, a different dog, and just that was my life.
Were you taking the dog with you on the road at that point?
I was the first.
Wow.
Everyone does it now.
Good for you.
I was like, I need someone.

maybe I could put a pumpkin or like a candle.
But he's like, no, we have a next to my Lizer for the corn.
We have a thing that grinds the oats.
We just picture him in their corner.
We did like that. You're trying to decorate it with like, this door is marked out. corn, we have a thing that grinds the oats. I just picture him in their corner.
You're trying to decorate it with like, this door is marked out.
Fire table to let's go.
Yeah, yeah. So it's his he does his recipe testing there. Other
people think so he's got we've got like a smoker, we have two
different grill like he's got his things. He's working out of

It's just not something, in the way that he doesn't love
like watercolors, like it just doesn't call to you.
Can you make eggs?
Scramble eggs?
I can.
But I don't.
But somebody else has to clean that pan,
because it's hard, because sometimes the pan gets too hot
and I burn them.
So that's embarrassing, as a grown woman.
Will he eat anything that you like?
If you're like, hey babe, I'm making eggs.
I would never say that to him.
No.
I would never make him something
No, because he's never you've never made one thing. I made him total hole once and it was total hole It's a piece of bread. It's trashy. This is so nuts. It's a whole toad

Oh, I know we're talking about yeah, like a crock-a-daisy like a dirt bag. Yeah like a dirt bag eggie in a basket
I made it once and he ate it. What are you for?
Better don't know what I saw it in Moonstruck Olivia Dukakis made it for share
It's a good movie snap out of it one of my
Big pepper grinders.
We it's like that they come around with.
People are obsessed with cheese, fresh cracked pepper,
and I don't know what it is.
I'm sure he's got the automatic ones, the salt and the pepper.
You got to grow up.
I don't know. We have a thing.
But the the cheese is always embarrassing at restaurants
because I will let them go for a very long time
Okay, can you just leave it here and they're like we can't it's the house one and you're like, okay
Well, you're gonna get a wrist workout. Yeah
So I don't but we have all the nice we have good pots and pans all that stuff really good

That's classy. That's some nice French cookware.
I would have said Le Baron or something like that.
You would have said Crockpot.
Shout out to a Crockpot.
I had one when I met him, and now we use it to like...
I don't know what he uses, like wax.
I don't know what he uses it for. It's like little toaster like it's been like relegated sure well
Yeah, he's in they use he's like a mad scientist in there figuring shit out. You guys have a toaster oven
Yeah, but the whole thing the old-school one like it opens and you can broil in it

OK.
Rice cooker.
We have lots of gadgets for making the things,
because he does recipe testing for a lot of different types
of his eat.
You have a sous vide?
He must have one.
Did I say that right?
Sous vide.
Yeah, yeah, you got it.
For those of you, it's eaten out of a bag. It's a hot bag which I did which
Apparently it's delicious. Don't they do it like fucking Taco Bell and shit. It's that's different usually yeah
Yeah, it's a microwave. Where was the honeymoon?
the honeymoon was
supposed to be in
We were gonna go go all through Italy,
and then Croatia, and then Paris. Because Split's supposed to have amazing seafood,
and it's supposed to be amazing, we're gonna go to Paris,
and he really wanted to go to Italy,
and I had been once before, and he is half Italian,
and loves it, so I was like, let's go,
and I had just come home from Europe on tour,
and I just, no one's asking me this, I cracked.
And we're in Rome, which is like not romantic,
it's just like vacationing in midtown.
Like it's just like, oh my God.
And I snapped and I was like, I have to go,
I cannot do this anymore.
Like I'm so tired, my nose won't stop running,
I miss my dog, like it was just,
it's a lot of travel on a body.
And I remember being in a room, I was like,
we have to cancel Paris, we have to cancel,
I cannot fucking do this.
And I fell asleep and when I woke up he was gone.
And I remember thinking like, that's right,
cause you're annoying.
So he has left you because you're not so hot
that he's gonna be like, this is worth it.
And he was downstairs on the phone with American Airlines changing our plan so we could go home
And so we then went to this place called post ranch in which turns out is just as expensive as two weeks in Europe
In Northern California, and we did mushrooms and hung out there for three days, and that was great
Hmm whoa
Okay, do you drink I used to and I will but not as much what's your go-to?
You're going out you're gonna have a cocktail you doing glass of wine you doing a beer you're doing cocktail
You say it seems like a martini, but it's really just vodka okay on the rocks with a lot of olive juice
Okay, so vodka on the Tito's on the rocks very very dirty Tito's on the rocks dirty alright
Maybe blue cheese stuffed olive. What are you whipping around town? And what's the what's the car at the house?
I got a Kia Sportage you got a Kia and I fucking love it sponsored by them or something
You drive. Oh, I wish you got a Kia fucking Sportage. Is this what is that? What is the tone?
I can't tell trash trash what let me tell you something. I owned a six Netflix special
Wait do you see what Ali Wong drives.
It's like a Toyota.
It's a murdered out matte black Kia.
And I have to tell you, I test drove.
Here's the thing, do you have kids?
No.
No.
Most nice luxury SUVs, you cannot fit two car seats
comfortably in the back.
I looked at the A8, I looked at a Lexus,
which I absolutely hated, even though I leased it
for one day.
I went to the Land Rover, and the guy was like,
this can drive on three wheels.
I just gotta go to Ralph's.
Do you like wheelie?
I was like, yeah, I just wanna park it.
And so at the end of the day, I didn't wanna deal with,
like, this plugs in and you have to log in with Siri.
I have all the creature features, it's a mom car,
I can drive it like I stole it, it gives me no trouble. Lease or owned? I leased it.
But it was brought to my house. I have a guy and I got to pay. I think he was annoyed
that I didn't pick something nicer. Carvana? My guru? I bought my used car on Carvana.
Mercedes though. A little bit of flood damage. What's the chef
driving? Like a like a base model. I think it's a Honda like I barely has power
Windows do we just look what fits the kids in that safe because neither of us
I'm a girl like if I drive a pink G wagon no one's like I want to fuck her harder
There's a difference between a pink G wagon and a goddamn keys
Portage if you saw this Kia and you saw the creature features and you can change the color of the lights
And that's trashy love it. What do you what are you driving uber?
Who uses the lights inside a cd player like a Dominican uber driver?
As many iPhone charges as I want I have an iPad in the back
Are you enjoying this right?
I have an iPad in the back. Are you enjoying this ride?
Octopus, where you can play it?
It's not like, remember in like the early 2000s,
you could get lights under your car,
under the chassis and it would like.
I've seen Fast and Furious.
I still think it's a sick move.
I don't have that.
People have stopped me
because they think the Kia is so exquisite.
And if you saw it.
Listen, I had a Kia up until a year ago.
What kind of Kia did you have? Forte?
It's a Kia Savant.
It was a Kia Forte, thought a Kia boys got me.
They got you.
Uh huh.
Are you being careful of that?
What?
The Kia boys?
Oh, I thought we were just yes anding.
I don't know.
Man, this girl's good.
What is a Kia boy?
The Kia boys, there's a...
Oh, they steal like alternators or...
No, that's catalytic converters.
Oh, catalytic converters?
Who the hell wants an alternator?
I was like, watch this. They're going to love that I know that. That's what they're going to love. The key about there's a there's a still like a alternators or knows that's catalytic converters.
Oh, catalytic converter.
Who the hell wants an alternate?
I was like, I was like, watch this.
They're going to love that.
I know that's when they take the spark plugs.
What is it?
There's a how there was a glitch in Kia where you could steal it real easy.
There's still kind of doing it.
And they started they've called him the Kia boys.
They would just they would do it just for the fun of it.
And it was like teenagers just stealing their car,
just stealing your car.
No one's taking it.
Okay.
Two car garage?
Two car garage.
Okay, you got a fridge in that garage?
We do for my husband's like soup stocks that he freezes.
It's not like a go for the rumpus room,
like have your friends get a pop kind of fridge.
It's like just for him.
I just thought you'd like that. Thought you guys would like me more. It's like just for him. You're not. I just thought you'd like that.
I thought you guys would like me more.
It's like you're not allowed to open that.
It's just for like his stuff to work.
It's like, yeah.
And my coffee.
And your coffee.
We freeze the coffee beans because we get a lot of them.
OK.
Freeze them.
They last longer.
Now, is that the only house you guys got a vacation
property anywhere?
We do.
Nice.
We just bought it.
We just spent our first summer there.
And so summer.
She summers.
Where's that roughly?
You got to get out of where you live.
And the West Coast?
It's on the West Coast.
It's Washington state, kind of rural.
And so it's beautiful.
We wanted land.
So that feels very Republican.
I'm like, I want to land.
I want to land.
And I got it.
And I got to defend it. I asked. I said, what if we just got a small gun?
And he was just like, absolutely not.
Like the odds of you shooting yourself are 100%.
Yeah.
I said, what if you did the shooting?
I'll do it.
Dude, if I can't have it.
So that's nice.
And we have.
That's all right.
You're flying up front now, I assume, right?
Yeah.
Wherever you go.
I fly the plane. That's how much I am. They're flying up front now, I assume, right? Yeah. Wherever you go. I fly the plane.
That's how much I am.
They're like, we trust you.
You seem you seem responsible.
Will you bring food on the plane with you?
I do. What do you bring?
Not like an immigrant.
Like I'm bringing like a whole fish.
You ever watch you ever go to Australia?
They do a show called Border Patrol, and it's basically just them
watching people who try to bring in.
It's always like an older Chinese lady bringing in just them watching people who try to bring in,
it's always like an older Chinese lady
bringing in like half a dragon.
Oh, we have it here.
Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Did you say half a dragon?
But it's just stuff where you're like, come on.
And they play dumb.
They're like, oh, I had no idea it was in here.
It's like, you repackaged it, lady.
You knew what you were doing.
You wrote your name on it.
Where can you bring in tiger steak?
Like this thing is alive.
Is this your mongoose?
Yeah, I think that was okay to bring in live spores. I
Have I here's the thing I sleep on planes very easily and so I don't really want to eat their food
It's never that great unless you're on like a nice international flight, and I fly around the country so much
So usually by the time I wake up the food's gone, and they will never reheat it for you
So my husband packs me a breakfast
What are we talking like a bean and cheese burrito
or like a little turkey sandwich.
You eat that on the plane?
I eat it before takeoff and then I go to sleep.
You eat a bean and cheese burrito in first class?
I'll suck it down.
Probably a nice one.
It's not hot.
It still smells like beans.
No, it's not, it's not like,
cause it came from the house.
So it's like warm-ish, but it's wrapped in foil.
You know, it's not like I'm eating like a whopper
on a domestic flight or something.
So, but then like carrots and some almonds
and I just tore them in my cheeks for the winter.
Take your shoes off on the plane?
Yeah.
All right.
But with socks and they're fresh socks
and I have two and I always travel pro tip
with a second pair of socks in case your tootsies get cold.
Ooh.
You both look like you have circulation issues. I think compression socks?
No, but that would be good for you.
I've never felt so close to you.
They're warm.
And so they're always clean.
Not that we're worried about that,
but I always have clean socks.
We're worried about that.
Do you like deviled eggs?
No.
Really?
I think that's so gross.
You think deviled eggs are gross?
What about a hard-boiled egg?
Also gross?
If the yolk is like a little jammy, as they say in this show.
You like a little jammy?
Like a fresh one.
Yeah, you're not gonna like get them
at the gas station as a snack.
Okay, I was gonna say the Delta Lounge,
but yes, you and I can find some common ground.
I don't like that.
Listen, I'm diamond, by the way, or platinum.
No, I'm diamond.
That's what we all say, we yell it. I'm diamond, you asshole. You're diamond, I'm platinum. Yeah, I. I'm diamond by the way or platinum. No, I'm dying. That's what we all say we yell it
I'm yeah, I'm dying you're done. Yeah, I I'm diamond. I think even in I like the lounge
I'm out of here. I'm sorry lax lounge is nice. Yeah, everyone else
It's like you're in a fucking conference center waiting for Randy to come dog
Fuck out of here
Heathens go back to your shanties. I don't eat, I don't eat the, it's just, it's-
You don't eat the hot food there?
No, you see businessmen like,
Shut up.
Because their families won't let them eat like that at home
when they're getting, I'm like,
I'm not eating meat at the airport, I just, I'm fine.
I'll have like a little bit of- Really?
I don't want it.
I'm exclusively meat at the airport.
Because you're like, look at this free meat,
look at this whole- No, I don't like going there,
I'd rather go to a restaurant and get something I-
Oh really, in the airport? Yeah, I don't like the fact that I'd rather go to a restaurant and get something I. Oh really, in the airport?
Yeah, I don't like the fact that I can't choose my food.
Okay, so you can choose your food at home
and you can bring it.
I know you think that's garbage,
but it opens you up to having it the way you want it.
Well, I'm not married to, my guy's not a chef.
I think in this situation it's classy.
I think in this situation that's classy.
Yeah, it's not like I'm bringing like a Pearl spoon
for caviar, like it's just like a little,
half a turkey sandwich and I eat it before I fall asleep. Okay. I also bring my own coffee in
How do you do that? So there's some companies make like a little single serving almost like a tea bag, but it's got coffee in it
Okay, I just thinking why don't people do that more they do some of the come can some companies do cuz airline coffee is
It's like lighter fluid and so I get that and I asked for cream and a hot cup of water
I just make my own and it's a nice thing. It's all a little taste a little comfort. Yeah, I'll give you that
What's the coffee brand that you'd that you like?
I'm not just I love anything. I love Duncan you said you had a lot of it at the house
I assumed you had a specific brand works

Can't do a strong cup and then get on a plane and then like hold your ships sure I'm going across the country
I'm not gonna you mentioned Ralph's is that where you guys are primarily shopping no air one
Whole Foods Whole Foods. I think is just my husband does the grocery shopping right does he go or does it get delivered?
No, no you can't get delivered cuz you Because it won't be specific. He goes.
He goes. He's got to like look and get it.
So you don't got to do any of that. You don't have to shop, you don't have to cook.
He's got it all under control.
He does that.
Huh. Yeah.
I had two children. So I did that.
Gotcha.
And a lot of other things. But he does it. He loves it.
A lot of other things. He does. He likes doing it.
Like when we met, he saw the way that I ate and he took over my diet and the dog's diet.
He was like, she needs to go on more walks.
I will be in charge of that.
And the first gift he ever gave me was really nice Tupperware
for the leftovers he was going to make, because I will eat
turkey out of a bag like a feral raccoon.
If you leave me alone, they're going to have bags.
I'll eat an apple for dinner.
Like, I don't think about it.
I won't do this. He make the dogs dinner.

No, she has regular food. OK.
But sometimes he'll add like something nice, like an egg
or something like that. Something.
I like it. Yeah.

complaint, my husband worked in restaurants for so long, I'll do it after, we'll do it after we pay.
complaint my husband worked in restaurants for so right I'll do it after we'll do it after we pay okay just to be like just for your feedback
