Oh my god. Oh my god. Like honestly like am I the most popular on your man on the street? Like stop. Well this is the thing. I was unsure if I wanted to have a gay man on the man on the street because I knew that you would just like by far so much more

likable than everyone. I can't help it. I just I can't help it. And me and you have some really funny outtakes that the people haven't seen like i was interviewing one of these dudes and he was pissing me off because it was like hour two and i was having enough and then oscar just flies in on his what is it called my my gooder your gay scooter my gay scooter my gay scooter my gooder i like to fly in on my gutter it was the most graceful scoot i've ever seen and you flew right through and you're just you're just a star and i've always loved you just at the comedy club we gravitate to each other you're my sister from another mister i also did your podcast yes you did when it first came out i was like oh my god you have to do it where can

people listen so um a thank you so much for having me today you're welcome totes love you b thank you for enjoying my little gooder drivebys i'm obsessed anytime yeah i've always wanted to be a white man from a startup company uh that's what my goal was to be in life was to be a gooder from a startup company. This is the new razor scooter. Everyone's going to want one. This is the new one. If you're writing, your kid just turns gay.

Let's not throw up propaganda. I don't want to... For extra ten bucks, your kid can start musical theater. Yeah. Oh, I've seen some children. They can not. No, I have my own podcast. It's called O. Oscar.

And I get to talk to all of my entertainment friends, comedians, models, etc. and we talk about their first gay experience. You're like ugly people, pretty people. Ugly on the inside, pretty on the outside. I did have, you were on it, and my God, it was such a fun episode. Except for the one part where Hannah said that I could look like a really hot 50-year-old or an 18-year-old who's been through some shit.

Quote, unquote. One, I forgot I said that too. I fucking nailed it I'm done I'm done no but like you're I feel like your age your nationality

not your sexuality that's pretty clear is kind of like we don't know I know I'm ethnically ambiguous technically but it's funny

we've had some really bonding talks like in ubers in the kitchen behind a stand-up club where I feel like I've just loved hearing your story

Because if someone just looks at you, you're a comic from New York City. You look confident. You're happy. I'm an Italian soccer coach. Yes. You have one of the more interesting upbringings that I've ever heard. Actually, you tell it because I actually, I don't want to fuck it up. So I, you know, I am a very interesting case.

I actually don't talk about it that much because it never really, like, struck me as something very interesting to, technically just get out there. I'm working on it on my set and trying to find a place where I enjoy talking about it, but it's not there yet, and I'm not going to force it because then I'm just not going to have fun with it on stage. But yes, I am adopted. I was adopted when I was four years old from Turkey, from an orphanage. My mother passed away literally right after giving birth to me, and then my father gave me up for adoption. So I was in an orphanage for about three years. And then I got adopted by this couple.

My adoptive mother is Norwegian. My adoptive father is Turkish. And so they adopted me. I'm originally from Turkey. But my background and lineage, which I've discovered, is as Iranian, so like Afghanistan, Iranian, and then Turkey. Wow. Yeah.

it's funny because you hear stories of like people getting adopted but for you to literally say like I was in an orphanage till I was four like it makes me want to just like hold you oh don't um you're like literally don't touch me with your gross feminine energy no I love you thank you for that you know what it is is I'm very fortunate I was adopted into a family that just gave me kind of like a second chance and I I think that's one of the things that I've been the luckiest for in life. So to say that I've had this kind of like miracle of being adopted by a loving family, which there's still a lot of children in adoption home. So I always say if you have the chance adopt a child, because, you know, there are a lot of children out there that would love a home. But I always say, like, the luckiest thing that ever happened to me in life was that I was adopted and everything else that happens in my life is icing on the case.

we didn't they also want a girl at first yes but we don't talk about them oh sorry because i was about to say you have amazing eyelashes they probably were like he'll do what these oh my god and cute close up close up close up close up the producers like how many times do you have to give this guy a close up there we go you look great uh yes i think so so the story goes as my mother wanted they wanted a girl but it didn't work out, so they got me. So it sounds like you live life with gratitude? Yes.

For a long time, I think for a while, and you and I had talked about this, I kind of lived in this gray area of just surviving. And it was very hard for me. I didn't really have anything that I was working towards, and I wasn't really fitting in anywhere, and I kind of didn't see myself enjoying life and working to achieve goals. And then I started doing comedy kind of like full time. And ever since then, I feel like now I have a place.

There's a place for me. I'm unique enough to fit in to all these places where a lot of unique people fit in. And that really has helped me kind of pass this survival mode and more into a gratitude mode. because I will say during that survival mode, there were times of like anger and bitterness just because I didn't have a lot going on. So I was always just kind of like, uh, whatever, why me, why this? I don't understand. And then I found a therapist.

And I must say, mental health is the most important thing. Do it. Do it. I will give up Starbucks, whatever. I'll give up Starbucks. I'll give up McDonald's. I'll give up whatever. Just so that once a week or every other week.

I know that's very hard for gay. A gay man just gave up ice coffee? I mean, a gay man giving up ice coffee or taking selfies is, you know, groundbreaking. However, I will say giving that up in order to be able to have a session once a week or biweekly where someone tells you you're not crazy is amazing. Well, they say that the first seven years of your life, and by they, I probably saw it on TikTok, but the first seven years of your life, like, sets your, like, mental state up for how you view relationships, yourself, like the first seven years. And your first seven years were way more complicated than the average, you know, privileged person in America. Oh, yeah. I don't remember anything. I have no recollection of what happened before,

or probably the age of seven, six or seven, yeah. I have no recollection. But is it like you blocked it? Because it was probably a lot of trauma involved. No, I think it's because I just have really bad 88. You're like, no, I just smoked too much weed. But you know. I just don't remember.

What's great, though, about your journey to like finding gratitude is I learned that you cannot feel anxiety and great. gratitude at the same time. Oh, God. Yes, you can't. Are you nuts? Oh, my God. I am anxiously grateful for so many things. I'm like, I'm very thankful for this iced coffee. Get me through the Mardanga. I think I saw that on a TikTok. But you know what? I actually disagree with that too, because I saw something on TikTok yesterday that I called the New York Times. We should just call it the new CNN. Yes. No, it's literally. Like the New York Times to me, someone said a running, like a busy mind is an unhappy mind. Like you, when you're deep in thought, are never actually happy.

It's when you're existing within the moment. Like when you're doing, like when we're on stage and we're not bombing and you're in that moment, that is happiness. It's not like a thrill of something happening to you. It's when you're literally just existing like a plant. Yeah. And that's one of the things that my therapist is helping me kind of disson. discover is living in the moment because I anxiously, unfortunately, I anxiously live in the past

and I'm fearful for the future. So depression and anxiety. Right. So literally, I know my God, let me just lay down. Get an espresso martini on this bench. Let me just get laid down and be like Hannah, tell me. And, uh, but no, it's one of those things where I, yeah, I, I constantly live in a state of fear and a state of anxiety and a state of regret sometimes. And it's really learning how to live in the moment and find the present and be present with that. Because I don't, I'm going to say this. I have had some accomplishments this year that I'm very, very proud of. And we do get accomplishments in life. But sometimes when you live in a state of constant anxiety, you don't learn how to lean into the good times. Because you're always waiting for the bad times.

It reminds me of Taylor Swift when she, like, won this huge award, and she was like, who do I have to celebrate with? I feel more alone than ever. Yeah, I don't know what that is. I don't listen to Taylor. I'm sorry, I am a homosexual, and I do not listen to Taylor Swift. Thank you very much. I'm sorry for stereotyping you right now and assuming that you would love a Taylor Swift reference. Can I just, can I live a Taylor Swift?

You're like, I actually just like, you know, rap? oh my god I love techno music like oh yeah I'm a European oh my god I used to listen to this

I'm not going to age myself because obviously I'm only like in my mid 30s however there was this program Thanks for clarifying because everyone's been confused They're just They're coming in on the live feed

and be like How old is this queen Uh you Well that's good that's the one thing I learned from my boyfriend who has worked in the fashion industry for years he's like two things you never tell people

number one how old you are and number two how long you've been doing something because they will judge you on both and in comedy that's the first thing people ask you it's actually so fucking rude people just go how long have you been doing it yeah so how long have you been doing comedy? What should I say? I don't know how long have you had those bangs

Sandy how long have you had those bangs. I don't know. How long have you needed Envisaline? Yeah. How long have you

had that kale stuck in your tooth? How long have you have that shitty attitude? How long have you had those split ends? Notice that I'm only

going towards the women and I need to start going towards the men. But I've only been like tearing apart women. But the funny thing is the women won't ask you.

It's usually the male comics. It's only the male comics who will ask you. And I'm like, but I'm so used to being like shady. So I've got to learn how to

direct it towards straight men. How long have you been DMing Instagram models and they haven't been responding? Yeah. How long have been wearing those like cargo shorts? How long have you smelled like old milk? When was the last time you bathed? How about that one?

I've been doing comedy for as long as you've stopped wearing deodorant. How about that? How about that? How long has Have you been trying to grow in that beard That has holes in it And peach fuzz is a strong description Are you okay? Because you got real angry

I didn't know because this question I get asked all the time She's channeling some inner like rage right now Towards one person The whole rest of the podcast It just says how long Is your name been? Look at this thing

As I You just see me walk away Across Hannah out the door And she's like how long i'm all the way up to the camera yeah i'm like and i'm like just you just see my hand waving from the background be like bye but this is the thing because if you say a short amount of time then it's like you're pretty good for someone who doesn't know what they're doing if you say a long time you're actually bad for so it's always a negative connotation and a judgment they're

projecting on you and i also for the fucking more i were actually read in a book once that like not on ticton some yeah some things i i've i I mean, I do like, first couple of pages of a book, and I'm like, I see what we're doing here, is they've done studies. You just kind of turn it into a pamphlet. Yeah, it's just an e-book. It's actually a caption of Instagram. They did, like, studies with doctors. And some doctors who've only been five years in proved to do better on, like, all tests because, like, they're excited.

They're fresh. They're not jaded. And so, like, experience in certain things is obviously important, but it's not everything. I think the gays say the same thing about anal. They're young, they're new, they're fresh, they're excited about it. Since you've opened the cheeks on this. As someone who is scared of anal but open to it, no pun intended, do you have any advice for starting an anal journey?

You are probably more versed in anal than I am, sweetheart. I got told yesterday that I'm a versed otter. A versed otter What's a first otter And do you agree Okay First of all You're not a hairy

5, 6 foot man Is that He called me hairy Well, that's what A 5 foot 6 Slender build Homosexual Whose Harry is usually called

That's literally me I'm Italian And Jewish Guys He said like But some of it is smooth Some of the otter Who were you talking to?

Blakely yesterday He called me diverse otter. What do you think I am? A power bottom? No, I don't know. This is so weird because I've never done this to women before where I've gone up to them and be like, you're this.

But if you were to ask, I would probably say like a smooth twink. I want everybody to know that I am the least homosexual that has probably ever existed. Well, that's also the funniest thing about Oscar. like he dresses like a guy who got stuck at target people always ask me they're like Oscar what is your style aesthetic and I'm like the mannequin at TJ Max yeah like that is why do you think you're like this and the gay community has rejected you I don't know how to answer that double trauma question Hannah yeah that was a real double whammy she was

like why do you dress like this and why do you think that you are no longer accepted by anyone in this world as she drinks her camping? What a Hollywood people say like, you're never going to work in this town again? Yeah. Do you know what it is? I just guess I never fit into a lot of gay spaces. What are some traditional gay spaces? I think there's obviously like there's the, you know, the boys with perfect bodies.

You know, they have those perfect bodies. go to the gym, they've got this like ideal marketing lifestyle and then they go to equinox or she equinox as we call it in the afternoon. And you're like obese in the gay community? I mean like, you know, it's hard now. I mean, everybody, there's so much body body positivity in the gay community. Is there body positive in the gay community? There is more now. Or is it just like a pandering? It is more now where more people are kind of like a accepting of different, like, you know, different physical attributes within the gay community. But I think when I was coming out and even more so, it was, you either fit into, you know, two

subcategories, the really hot muscle boy or other. And I have to let you guys know, if you're just listening, Oscar's extremely, extremely handsome. And do you have a great confident aura about you, which is the most important thing? That's the depression. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You can take, like, the quiet sad person for, like, the quiet confidence.

Yeah. You know what it is is I, I'm going to a gay wedding. Oh, yeah. In November 20th. I'm going to a gay. It is stressing me out. You mentioned it multiple times. This gay wedding, there's going to be mostly fabulous or wealthy gay men.

All things, these men will have, all have something that I don't. They have either wealth or looks or dignity. or dignity. And here's the thing. Naming all things, right? And so, like, I kind of got to find something to bring to the... It's very hard because I remember going out to the Hamptons once. And I was at the Hamptons.

And I'm not, like, you know, I live within my means. I'm not a... You know, I don't have... funds available left and right. I don't necessarily buy things that I don't need. I buy the necessities in my life. I'm okay with that. And one of the things that's always been hard for me is that a lot of times in the gay community, not always, but a lot of times in the gay community, you're judged by your materials or your wealth. And I don't have either. I was at a fundraiser once. and someone came up to me and we were in a conversation with a group of people and afterwards they were like oh my god

it is so nice to meet you here's my card i took the card and it was something something wealth management and they're like if you ever need someone for wealth management you let me know and i was like ma'am how do you manage something if you can tell me how to manage over? And you and I will have a conversation. Can you manage my emotions? Right. On a daily basis? And they're like, you know, like, if you ever, and I'm like, I have, I have, like, I have, like, if

you look at my will, it is basically a black dildo and a box set DVD of the Golden Girls. Like, that is what's in my will. That's what's in my will. I don't have any. Like, my friends are always like, well, you know, when I come into your apartment, if anything ever happened, you know, I'm like, girl, go right ahead. Go right ahead. Literally go right ahead.

I hope you enjoy that 200 thread count bed sheet set from Lottless. I have a friend who her apartment is literally so messy that someone broke into it once and left because they thought it was already broken into. That is amazing. Iconic. I will say this. There is one advantage of being not so wealthy and being just average. And that is if someone ever steals your identity. Thank you.

When someone stole my, someone stole my identity once and I was like, Okay. Okay. They got approved for a $100 credit card at Target. That's what they got. By all means, sweetheart, you got right ahead with that. I didn't know this about you because you're not very flirty, especially with the straight men. Like you're not one of the guys that are like trying to get attention from everyone.

You're pretty like, you're very confident. You honestly, like, they try to flirt with you and you're like, ew, get away from me. I don't care. You don't care. I don't care because my thing is, A, I've come to the realization that this is just who I am. And you like it or you don't? They call that the sauce. What's the sauce?

The sauce is someone on TikTok, I have to credit her. I totally forgot her name, but she talks about the sauce and how some people have it and some don't. And it's this like, you're not trying to be cool for anyone. You're not trying to change you are for anyone. If people don't like you, you're like whatever. And it's the sauce. You know what it is is, I will say, the only way that I've reached this sauce is by having the right ingredients. And that ingredient is...

Hummus. Not hummus. Also, let's calm down with the stereotype, Hannah. Jesus Christ. while she just throws in like it was going to be very we were doing so well yeah I was going to say something really deep

and emotional and she's like chmas I also didn't pronounce it right you like chmess you put in the chamas now one of those ingredients to the sauce is mental health

and just having that ability to learn that I am good enough listen i always say am i going to be something else no what i am am i aspiring to that yes but no one's perfect no one comes out absolutely perfect no one comes out of the womb having a netflix special no one comes out of the womb having a six-pack you know i mean unless you're the child of joselle bunchin but so oscar yeah i have to ask yeah how many men have you slept with oh my god well i'm pretty sure that my beffarand is going to be listening to this. And he already knows.

Like, that's a thing that I will say in my tenure as a comic and in my tenure with my boyfriend, you know, he knows a lot about me and he knows about... You're getting very defensive right now. I'm just setting it up. So that way, I have a boyfriend when I leave this podcast. Anna? Yeah. You see that?

I wish you got real... She got real... 1100. All right. Okay, so this is my question. Yes. Wait, how many men have you slept with? I don't know.

Probably, you know, I think every gay man has had at least 500 plus. Not... Hold on one second. I know I'm going to get canceled for that. Okay. Will you? I'm going to get canceled. Okay, sorry.

I'm going to be like, how dare you bucket me like? that there are a lot of gay men who have had over at least 500 sexual partners so my question is with you sleeping with this many men yeah do you feel more worthy actually what's interesting is what happened in my life is that the adulation or the euphoria that i felt after random hookups was short-lived and i noticed that was driving a lot of my ups and downs and depression. Ooh. And so what I needed to come to the realization is that all of these euphoric moments weren't

they were followed by a low. They were followed by a low, but all of these euphoric moments weren't an indicator of the value of who I am as a person. And so what I had to come to the realization was, is that these were just moments that were ebbs and flows, and that ultimately the only way that I will ever meet someone in a long-term relationship is to understand that this is not what I inevitably want long-term. That is fucking powerful. It is.

You know, that's a thing. It's like, in the gay community, dating is very hard. And random sex is always there. Right? Random sex is always, it's easy. And that's a thing. It's like it's easy. It's great.

I'm glad, you know, have I had a lot of, fun years. Hell yeah. I've had a lot of fun years. But I cannot tell you there is nothing more wonderful than coming home to someone who is cooking dinner. That you do not get. And that, and that consistent euphoria of having someone there for you has thus replaced the ups and downs of a euphoria that is short-lived. Definitely fewer extreme highs. but also fewer extreme lows. Yeah. And, like, almost feeling comfortable with the consistency.

And you become more confident. And I found someone, as a gay person, it's hard to date. As a gay comic, it's even a lot harder because gay men don't want to be the brunt of humor. They get very, they get very nervous about that. And they allow them. The only people that are the only people that are technically allowed to make fun of gay men or drag queens.

If you think about it. Because it's, it's kind of. hard. Yeah. Unless you're really close with them. Right. And so for me to find someone who accepts me and then also supports my humor and then also laughs at it, laughs at it, it's kind of big. So I'm happy. But it also says a lot about the work you've done in yourself to be in a position where you feel open to accepting the love and able to sustain. I'm a wreck. I am an absolute chaotic ADHD wreck. I know that.

I've got my faults. I've got my faults. But I'll tell you something. Am I gorgeous? Absolutely. Do I have a six-pack? Not in a million years. Do you have charisma off the fucking charts?

I hope so. But, boy, I look at this TV screen. I'm like, God, do I need a tan? You do. Wow. I'm like matching the wall. Oscar? Focus.

This couch is really nice This couch is nice Where did you buy this plant? Yeah, where did we get this? I love this coloring scheme here. I got to work on mine. Wait, so are you, what are you doing to help your ADHD? Nothing.

Okay, same. Because like there's the option to go on medication, but I also feel like when our whole job is being able to like do a joke and then see something in the corner of the room and make a comment on it, then finish the joke, then start crowdwork on the left like it could potentially numb some of it

you know what it is is have I looked into medication for ADHD now should I maybe I don't know I will say when I first started with my therapist I asked her I was like in a very dark place and I said do you think

I should go on medication and she looked at me and she said why and I said I don't know I just you know I think maybe I need it. And she says, I don't. And so I knew that this was a therapist that I could trust because they weren't trying to just push something on me.

Like a quick fix. A quick fix. And so that's the thing. It's like, I'm always weary of these quick fixes. Like, what are some things that I could do over time that would help me? Now, do I have severe ADHD? Yes. Borderlining gay ADHD?

Absolutely. I have severe gay ADHD. It is exhausting. But also, I love what you said about like the little things. I feel like when you put, when you wake up, you know those weeks when you're like, I'm going to be a different person this week. Suddenly, I'm going to clean up after myself. Suddenly I'm going to have good time management skills.

Suddenly I'm going to, you know, work out three hours a week and eat healthy. That's not going to happen because you'll get quickly overwhelmed and then you'll feel like a failure. But if you try to change a tiny bit every day, like my therapist was like, if you change 1% every day. That's technically like 30% by the end of the month. I'm not, you know, the math It's I know what you mean. I started this whole regiment where I would in the shower would say five things that I'm grateful every single day. That went down to one. But it went down to nothing. So now in the shower, I just bitch to my curse. Now in the shower I just pee. Now I just bitch. But you're right though. You are right. I mean, Listen, my Xbox died recently, and I was devastated because an Xbox is, like, I'm a gamer. I didn't know that about you. Yeah, I love, I'm a big gamer.

And so my Xbox died. And so I would play video games to escape a lot of the, just everyday exhaustion from a lot of things that are happening in my life. Yeah, but I also noticed that I wasn't really accomplishing anything and getting things accomplished and things would fall behind. And my Xbox died the other day. and I can honestly tell you is the best thing to happen to me in a long time.

Well, because that's like a habit that was so intrinsic in your schedule that you didn't even know how much time it was consuming. I mean, there were times like I would realize that I'd be like, oh, you know, work is exhausted. You know, I have a show at eight. I'm done at five with work. I'm going to just play for like an hour

and then I'll write and do some stuff. And then I would start playing. And by the time, like I would look at the clock and it'd be 7.30. and I'd be like, oh my God, I did nothing and I've got to go to my show. And so now I've kind of, it's been a blessing in disguise, actually.

Yeah. So as a gay gamer, some would just say a gamer. Right. I'm a gayer. Have you dealt with bullying online? Because those kids could be fucking brutal. First of all, I don't do the chat thing.

I don't do that whole earpiece chat. Because I was just envisioning, like, do you put on like a really mask? No, I don't. I don't. But my, I'm not going to say my screen name, but my screen name is hysterical. But I don't, but on my, on when I play. You don't headpiece it?

No. I don't, I just go, I drive around, I do things. I play Grand Theft Auto. It's one of my favorites because I'm a big retro fan. Like I love this whole retro theme. I have this whole nostalgia for like retro 80s, you know, art deco kind of thing. So this. So you play it for the aesthetic.

I play Grand Theft Auto for Texark. technically the aesthetic. That is the gayest reason I've ever heard. You are such a gamer. You know what? I, you know, like, I love it because I'm like, I am the least gay person ever. And then I'm like, I play Grand Theft Auto for the aesthetic.

And they're like, it's the gayest thing anyone has ever said. Final question before we play The Seven Deadly Sins. Yeah. What was the, like, reason you got into comedy? the reason why I got into comedy is because I was awful at improv Oh so you took an improv class first

I took an improv class first And I was because my I wanted to do it Yeah I was like why not I wanted to do something with theater And all that other stuff I'm not very good at musical theater

I have a loud voice But I'm not very good I was however Very popular in my high school musicals But only as the old relative Like I was the rabbi in fiddle on the roof. I was the mayor in Bye Bye Birdie. I was the

dead brother in one of these musicals. And I was like, okay, so I see a theme here. And I was like, all right, well, just throw me out to pasture. But the reason I just love being a star. I just love

being on stage. Also, one of the things that, in the beginning, that's what I loved being. I loved having the attention on me. As an only child, I love the attention. Now, one of the reasons why I love comedy is I can bitch about all the things that I think about on stage and turn it into comedy. Yeah.

I love it. Yeah. The things that annoy me the most in the world I can actually say on stage. And then when people react, everyone feels less alone. Right. Like, I love bitching about paper straws. Why? For what?

Paper cups, plastic. Straws. It's not that hard. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, it's time to play the seven deadly sin. For all those people out there that are watching that are very environmentalist. I am an environmentalist. No, it's actually been proven that plastic straws are not actually that bad for the environment.

Also, you do know how much timber we have to cut down in order to create paper straws. That immediately melt and then you end up using four paper straws. straws instead of one plastic straw. Oh my God. Do you know what sucking on a paper straw is like? It's like sucking on a guy who can't get hard. True. All you do is you suck and you suck and you suck and it gets wetter and wetter and

by the time you're done, all you want to do is throw the fucking thing out. You can put the whole thing in your mouth and just bite it. Right. And you just limp. Like it just kind of like dribbles out. And you're like, all right. Well, this is turns into a little slug. All just together.

get the juice at the bottom of the fucking cup. So you nailed it. Okay. Are you ready for the seven deadly sins? Seven Deadly Sins. What are you greedy about? Oh my God. I should have just sat like this, the entire podcast.

I should just sat like this. For the seven deadly sins you can. Yeah. Okay. What am I greedy about? Yeah. food what kind of food every fucking thing really oh yeah i could eat i used to uh i used to have a eating problem so i would not know my limits so like when i would have i would have mcdonald's

breakfast sometimes per se and i would get two sausage biscuits two egg bacon cheese sausage biscuits, two egg McMuffins, six hash browns, and I would just eat. I'm greedy about food. Does McDonald's not do breakfast anymore? They do at some location. Okay, some location. But I got very greedy about it. Like, I will put away two burritos, Chipotle burritos in one sitting, only because I want

the satisfaction of knowing that I've had enough. I could I could understand that That's why I've like That's like why weight problems Is fluctuated with me I'm greedy about food Yeah I like to feel

It's also like the numbness feeling I hate sharing guacamole Why For what? Give me my own guacamole Oh well they also They charge like $18 in New York For a little

Tabelspoon A tablespoon of guacamole And now I'm supposed to share it With three other people at brunch And there's only many like scoops that have the perfect balance of the tomato and the cilantro and you have to like and you're worried like oh did i take too much are they going to see it and then what happens when your chip breaks in the guacamole now you have to get another chip to scoop out that chip which is inevitably

going to take a percentage more guacamole so now everybody looks at you give me my own guacamole honestly i agree yeah who are you envious of i am envious of people who can sit down and complete a task without getting distracted. How long until you get distracted? About 30 seconds. That's why sex has never lasted more than four minutes with me. It's very distracted. You start texting.

Oh, my God. Another below deck Mediterranean is on. Oh, my God. A real housewives is on. Oh, my God. Can I ask, did you watch the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion? So I'm in recovery, so I can't watch reality TV anymore. Oh, my God.

But I heard Kathy went off. Can I just say, if any of you, I never, let me tell you something, I never was a Real Housewives fan. And then my boyfriend is obsessed with it. And now I am obsessed with it. So if any of you. What was your opinion? Because I personally did not, I like, I'll read the little blogs. I don't understand why.

I don't understand the beef. Like, they're arguing over whether or not Kathy got really upset one. it's a lot of drama for no reason honestly it's a lot of drama for no reason do I think that there's drama yes but also once to be honest you wouldn't have a show without drama

oh for sure it would just be you know people get mad at the people start the drama but then they'll complain if there's no drama but then also brava does this thing where if it's clear whose side you should be on they'll edit it to make it more gray so things won't make sense

and you don't know whose side to take and then you fight about it on Twitter And then they're like, thank you. Exactly. They know what they're doing. Like, if you see something on Bravo, which happens a lot, where you're like, her reaction is not matching what happened. It's because she's not reacting to, you're not seeing the full story of what happened. Is that it?

I did not know that. Yeah. But it's smart because it's like, it makes the fights more interesting. And then whenever they see someone leaning too much on one side, they'll give you tea to, like, make you question that. And then it's just this incredible mind fuck. I am obsessed with Real Housewives, Beverly Hill. Potomac You know, Giselle is my girl

La Which one is Giselle Bryant The gorgeous one Blue Eyes Oh yeah Past her husband Oh yeah She's incredible

She's so nice But yeah that cast That they also Were the underdogs Like they were new And Girl they came out fighting They are now like

Surpassing Atlanta With like the drama Okay Kendra Wait no Candy No, not candy. It's Kenya.

Kenya. Don't fuck with Kenya. She, let me tell you something. That is ultimate. Like, you want to learn how to be petty and shady. Yeah. You want to see the ultimate embodiment of like petty and shady and a woman through a gay man is Kenya. She's also like consistent though.

Yeah. Like some people have seasons where they're kind of petty and mean and then they'll be like an angel. She's fucking, you know, she will laugh every time she's in that like confessional booze. She's like, girl, don't. Don't fuck with me, you know? Like, I don't know why you fuck with me. She'll be like, girl, I don't know why you are playing those games. And I'm like, girl, I love you.

All of the people that are watching, I want you to know that. By the way, thank you so much for having me. Real Housewives, 90-day fiancé. You know, I didn't ask you what shows you. I know. But I just want to know, I love all of these shows. If you ever want to, like, you know, gabble, let me know. Okay, going back to what I ended.

Speaking of ADHD, though, I have, like, productive ADHD where I'll be like, okay, I need to send this email, but I'll be like about to send it and then I'll procrastinate with productive shit. Like I'll be like, oh, but I need to do my room and I'll start cleaning my room and then I won't finish that and I'll be like, oh, but I'm hungry now. So I'll just non-stop never finish anything. Do you want to know something? In my apartment, I have come to the realization that the only way I'm going to get

anything done is if I write it on the wall in large print. Oh, manifestation. No, it's just how I get things done. Okay, going back to envy, I envy people who are able to focus. I wish I could because I feel like if I could focus, I'd be a lot further along in my career. It's funny because we see a lot of comics and you see them on stage and you see them, you know, promoting tours and stuff, but you don't see the like day to day of like how they get there. And I think a lot of comics have our same like they get confused and they have ADHD and that's what makes them who they are. but I do wonder behind the scenes

what are successful comics are they actually so much more focused than other people? Yeah, I mean Or do they just have a good team around them? It's a drive and it's a focus. But also everybody just has their own journey. Oh my God, that's so beautiful.

What was the last time you experienced extreme wrath or anger? The last time I experienced extreme wrath or anger must have been in the line at Burlington Coat Fas What happened? Have an express checkout.

Why do I have to wait for Hilda who is visiting from Germany? That's part of the journey of Burlington. Who's checking out with 400 items when I'm on my lunch break? I got 15 minutes and I just want to swim suit. That's part of the journey. Why? Why do I have to wait?

I'm a Maxa Mr. When was the last time you were a sloth? So like, literally. literally didn't do anything all day. Every day. Do you wake up early? I wake up like at around 7.30. Yeah, that's early.

It's kind of like pride or like it can happen in work, in friendships, in relationships where you just kind of. I will say this. I think in a lot of times we as entertainers and people that are constantly striving to be better and better compare ourselves.

And what happens is we see someone or something that happened and we're like, I'm good enough to get that. I should have that. But in reality, they are on a different. journey and they are on a different path and I'm on my own journey and I'm on my own path and I just have to remember to keep my eyes gaily forward. Yeah. I mean, if you get distracted and put energy into like, we're doing against people or tearing yourself down, like that energy manifests and all the other shit you're doing. But if you let like, yeah, like bad things that happened to in the past distract you, like you're just hurting yourself. Yeah, I know. Yeah, it's hard. When

was the last time you lusted over someone besides your boyfriend? Like, do you have a celebrity crush celebrity crush Tom Hardy oh he is tiny though he's 57 that's fine

Yeah. You honestly thrived in hell, but I knew it. Now he's in a full, now he's, oh, okay, booty. You look like you're on an only fan's couch right now. Oh, my God. What's it called when they do the pornos, the casting couch? What do you do to cope with your hell when you're going through it? When you're in that dark place, how do you...

Golden girls. Golden girls So fucked up about Golden Girls They're supposed to be like 40 What? How old are they in it? Like 50s and 60s But yeah, they're in their 50s

And they made them look fully geriatric It was the 80s Style was not Like They literally told 50-year-old women That their life is over No, honestly I'm 20 years away from being a golden girl

Okay, calm down Some of us are a lot closer than that. What gets me through the hard times? The Golden Girls. Iced coffee and the Golden Girls. The little things in life. You know, I tell you this, as a child, I didn't have a lot of friends.

And so I'm used to going through hard times by myself. And the one thing that I always escaped to, and I think a lot of children who are lonely out there escape through entertainment and they find a show and they resonate with that show and they escape through it and that's why like every time it doesn't matter i have seen every single episode but the golden girls will always bring me joy but it also comes like into this beautiful full circle moment that entertainment has saved you and now you are bringing entertainment to the masses as one of my favorite comics i hope so you really really are i love i love making people

people smile and laugh and have fun and if at the end of my life I look at it and I say, you know, what was I the most proud of? I guess it would be finding a way to have fulfillment through laughter. That's what I like. I like laughing. I wish more people would laugh. Well, laughter is that thing that in that moment you have to be in the moment when you're laughing. It's like a sneeze. Like you're just like you're just expressing. yourself and letting loose and that's laughter is the one thing that you can have that you can control i've laughed honestly looking at a lot of your fans on ticot commenting on the videos like some of their quotes or some of their comments in the video section i will like they'll say
