What is up, daddy gang? It is your founding father, Alex Cooper with Call Her Daddy. Amy Schumer, welcome to Call Her Daddy. Thank you so very much, Alex Cooper. I am so happy we're finally meeting. Me too. No, I need to tell you, I was saying this this morning to my friends. I said, okay, have you ever sent a DM and forgot you sent it? And then they respond and you're like, wait, what did I send? That was me to you.

So I, for context, everyone listening, I sent Amy a DM in 2021. I don't even remember who I was at that point in my life. Okay. You were not yet born. I was not born. And I sent her basically saying like, you gotta come on the show.

Like, I love you, blah, blah, blah. Three and a half years later, I see you saying like, oh my gosh, the show, like I love you, blah, blah, three and a half years later, I see you saying like, oh my gosh, just saw this. And it was just in the preview. So I'm like, what the fuck did I say? Like, I'm like, what did I say to this woman? Like, were you drunk? No, literally.

I'm like hammered her high and I'm like, Amy. And thank God you were like sweet and nice. And you're like, okay, I'll like see you soon. Well, just so you know, both Megan Thee Stallion and Britney Spears has one of those shady DMs for me sitting in their inbox. So I know the feeling and never has it been read,

never have they been read, but I was so happy to see that. What is your angle with Megan Thee Stallion? What are you trying to get in there for? I don't remember. No, that's the thing, you send them, you're like, you feel connected to someone. And actually, I have met her. I met her at, uh, like I think an Oscar thing. And, um, when we both won Oscars, I don't know if you in your research came up, but I won an Oscar and so did Megan. And, uh, so I think I just wanted to be like,

should we have a friendship? And she, in return has not followed me. So I respect, I think she's smart. I think that's a smart move. I'm obsessed. And I won't leave the Britney went to the imagination. No, Britney has it, but she mentioned me in her book. And God damn, that felt amazing.

Street cred, street cred. I need to tell you one more story before I start asking you questions. So just to get this off my chest. Okay. I'm not a freak. Like I'm not a freak fan, but I do love you. Oh my God. That's so nice. I love you too.

Okay. But if I were to have one note, this mic is real heavy. Oh my God. Do you ever think like, no, I don't care. Look, I'm a standup. Like I hold a mic. Just roast me. But this is like an actual weight.

No, like, I mean, I want to support the brand. Obviously I'm honored stand up. Like I hold a mic. Just roast me. But this is like an actual weight. No. Like, I mean, I want to support the brand. Obviously I'm honored to be on this show. You're, you're, you're a, you know, a salt in. But this is a heavy microphone. You're exhausted. Yes. The thing is, is I-

And I swim, but I'm like, this is 20 pounds. Can I just clear my name for a second? I always have mic stands, always. You are the exception. Cause I'm like, I'm sweating and my hand's sweating, but it's fine and I'm honored. It's only because this is not my normal studio. We didn't know where to put the mic stands

and I didn't want it to cover your face cause you look gorgeous. No, thank you. So you're gonna have to buck up. Okay. And you're gonna have to do a little weight training today. Yes, okay. So shut the fuck up. Okay you're gonna have to do a little weight training today. So shut the fuck up.

Let me engage my core and move on. Now let me tell you a loving story while you engage the core. It was the year that Trainwreck came out and I live in Boston, I'm in college and I am literally at what feels like the end of the road. I am so fucking miserable. I'm at the worst place in my life, what feels like it,

because a boy was breaking up with me and I was miserable. My mom at the worst place in my life, what feels like it, because a boy was breaking up with me. And I was miserable. My mom flies to Boston and is like, I have to cheer you up, it's getting really scary over there. And it is like a random Tuesday and we go to the movie theater and I'm walking around because my mom's like, we gotta just see a movie.

And I'm like, train wreck like me, let's just see it. Like, here we go. I walk in, I sob the entire movie. And then when I leave, I'm like, oh, I'm a new fucking bitch. I'm gonna, I sob the entire movie, and then when I leave, I'm like, oh, I'm a new fucking bitch. I'm gonna reverse the roles on the men, fuck this shit, let's fucking go. And that movie, I know it sounds corny,

but you didn't know me at that point, but it literally changed my mindset in that moment, and it helped me through a really tough time. So thanks, no stop. No, I'm really tearing. It might be because the mic is so heavy, but I really. It's not that difficult. That's a dream for someone

To say that to me and for you to say that to me. I know I know it's like it's hard to give a compliment And it's hard to take a compliment, but I'm taking it right Right in right now. This is close to the Brittany mentioning me in the book, and I'm not I'm not fucking with you I am honored. Thank you for saying of course no, so I'm a huge fan. So thank you No, it's good for quite a while. No, it's good. It's good, it's good. Okay, I'm gonna ask you a bunch of just random questions

to get us started. Are you ready? Okay, okay, okay, I'm ready. Okay, ready? Okay, I'm ready. Whatever comes to your mind, you're just gonna answer it. Ready? Okay. How would your friends describe you in three words?

Loyal, psychotic, funny. Love. Love. Yeah. What is your comfort movie? The Birds, Alfred Hitchcock. Oh.

I know, so hack, right? But I mean, you know, everybody's a couple comfort movies, but for some reason that movie gets me. Gets you in your feels. And I know this is gonna be like over when this comes out, but like I'm so crazy about Wicked right now. Did you see it? I haven't seen it yet. Okay, everyone is gonna be like over when this comes out, but like I'm so crazy about Wicked right now. Did you see it? I haven't seen it yet.

Okay. Everyone's gonna be like, Wicked? This was, what year was this? Like it'll be kind of pregnant all, like it's the Wicked, but yeah. But obviously kind of pregnant's like the movie everyone's talking about, but. Yeah, it's the year.

I just needed to get it off my chest. Another Oscar coming. Yeah. Okay, what is the craziest fan interaction you've ever had? I guess them eating me out. Right. I mean, that's crazy. That would definitely top the chart. Yeah. I mean, okay. You know what? I'm just going to get right into this here. Okay. Okay. And I've never said this anywhere. Okay.

But when I was sort of at my kind of peak, like do touring arenas, whatever. And I'll say it, because this is where you say it. Were they a professional athlete? Sure. Did I text them like late at night and they came over, went down on me, and then I said, I'm so tired, I'm so sorry,

and they left? Yes. And you know who you are. Not the look into the camera. That's happened a couple of times and I'm not proud of it. And I think like, you know, and the ambulance is good for this moment.

Cause this is like when I actually get actually canceled. No, but it's all about, you know, you want to be a giving lover and whatever, whatever. But at this moment it was like, you know, some people like will blow a guy and that's the end of the night. So I kind of, you know, some people like will blow a guy and that's the end of the night. So I kind of, you know, did it my way to quote Frank Sinatra.

First of all, hold on. A professional athlete was a fan of yours. Why is that so shocking? No, no, sorry. No, why I'm saying that? It's not shocking. You know when you're young and you're in the spotlight, you know, you, I mean, look, I know you, ma'am.

No, I'm more saying like, was he at like a fan event? No, I've never, I don't think I've ever been to a fan event, but he was at a show. He was at a show. He was at a show. Can I ask of all the sports, what sport? And then we're moving on. Baseball.

Have you had sex with my ex-boyfriend? No, and we didn't have sex. Oh, right, babe. Sorry, sorry, sorry. He went down on me and then I yawn on. Baseball. Have you had sex with my ex-boyfriend? No, and we didn't have sex. Oh right, babe. Sorry, sorry, sorry. He went down on me and then I yawned and was like, it's been a, I mean that's a moment in train wreck and that's from real life. I love that so much for you.

No, it's kind of amazing. That's like a full circle moment. I'm appreciating that story right now. That's good for Call of Daddy. Thank you for the tea. You're welcome and like that's not, you know, the most popular move that gets the best response, but that's the truth. I kind of feel like that would keep them wanting way more.

I, that's happened probably three times in my life. When I was in my hay, okay, and one of them was furious, I remember, and one of them was totally fine with it. And you know, one of them was furious, I remember. And one of them was like totally fine with it. And you know what? The baseball player was pretty cool about it. Well, because I guess like the furious makes sense cause it's like, wow, are you saying I'm that bad?

Like you're falling asleep? No, I think it's like, I just made you come and now you're kicking me out. And I'm like, oh my God, what does it feel like to be a woman? You know? And again, this mic is so heavy. I know, but you're young.

My bones are old and they're confused. What if you prop it up on the pillow? No. Okay. Okay. We tried it. Who would be your celebrity hall pass? Hmm.

Okay. Okay. Um, I'm going to say either Christian Bale or Beyonce. Who would be your celebrity hall pass? Okay, okay. I'm gonna say either Christian Bale or Beyonce. The range. Yeah, but I don't think I would get a hall pass. I would give a hall pass. You wouldn't get. But I wouldn't get one, no.

But it's good to think about it. I think it's even better when it's a dream and I don't know if you'd actually even wanna do it. Yeah, or Method Man. It's kinda like, don't be your heroes. How many can I have? You can have as many as you want. Method man?

Can I get my phone out? No. Yeah, yes, yes. And he knows and he knows and he's his beautiful wife and whatever and he's like, so doesn't, he's not interested. But why, did he say something to you? No, well.

You know, now that you say that. Wait, can I ask who yours is? Specifically as the pirate Johnny Depp, like as the pirate. I'm shocked. With the- You want the makeup. I want the makeup. Jewelries. The hair. Yeah. I want the little cloak, like his little skirt.

Right. I want the whole thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, get those rings. What is your most embarrassing interaction in Hollywood? Oh my God, so many, so many, so many, so many. Okay, this is a long time ago, but I was at an Equinox flex. Get it. And Alec Baldwin was there.

This is 25 years ago, okay? And he was getting water, and I was behind him at the water fountain, and I quoted Glenn Gary, Glenn Ross, and I said, water is for closers. And I should have killed myself instantly. I don't remember, like I blacked out because it was so stupid.

I don't know if he acknowledged me, but I am sorry. Did you ever see him again? Yes, yes. He's been nothing but really nice to me. Did he remember that moment or no? I don't think so. He just never thought about it. I didn't, I didn't, I didn't.

I don't know, I don't know. I can't remember anything. Like, do you do drugs? Yeah, like I did, but not anymore. Okay, right, good. No, no, I've never done cocaine. I, do you do drugs? Yeah, like I did, but not anymore. Okay, right, good. No, no, I've never done cocaine. I've never done ecstasy. You've never done cocaine?

Okay. No, that's good because like it has. I'm like, I won't remember what we talked about today You're not with us anymore. No, I am no longer with but at least you're still funny. Thank you What is the craziest rumor you've ever heard about yourself? Um, oh god so many Like, you know, there's so much out there about me. Oh, well, this is fun at my wedding people magazine reported some celebrities who were there and out there, but about me, oh well this is fun. At my wedding, People Magazine reported some celebrities who were there.

And they said that Jennifer Aniston was there. And she was not there. But my mom, who is 75, said, I think what happened was, from behind, I look exactly like Jennifer Aniston. And I'm like, you just had knee surgery and you're in your mid seventies, you know? But, but I just said, oh, okay. Yeah.

So that was, yeah. That tells me a lot about your mom. That does tell you a lot about my mom. Yeah. We love your mom. Mom. I love a little deluge. I mean, I've got it, obviously.

I am so confused. Yeah, this is good. OK, what is one of your biggest pet peeves? OK, this is really controversial. Oh, why are you looking away from me? Because I'm already regretting saying it. Just go. And it's not really even a thing.

It's not even a pet peeve. My pet peeve is men, but also, but also, and I already said men, right? Yeah, you said men. Okay, I said men. My other, this is kind of like a fun little,

not really a pet, okay. Okay, I have a couple now that I'm going. Pickleball annoys me. Sorry. Have you ever played? No. Me either. I'm just hating from a distance. Me too. So loud.

And if you can vape while you're playing the sport, is it a sport? And I don't like how a lot of people, and I don't know if you do this, so I'm so sorry. Just hit me. Okay. The way that I think especially people, I don't know, both do this, so I'm so sorry. Just hit me. Okay, the way that I think especially people, I don't know, both coasts. Say it.

Have turned the word end into like a 10 syllable word, like and, and I'm like, what? Okay, I definitely don't do that. No, but do you know what I mean, right? I say and. Yeah, and. Like and, let's keep it fucking moving. Right, right, right.

But. And. It starts E. They go and. Who the fuck are you hanging out with? No, you're gonna notice it now. You're gonna notice it now. I don't think I've ever noticed that.

You're gonna listen back to that. So we were at the store and. Oh, I know what you're talking about. You know what I'm saying, right? When you put it in the context of that, done. Okay, I also agree with all of those things and you haven't insulted me yet, so this is good. Which I'm fine if you roast me at some point

in this interview, don't hold back. But I hate pickleball too. Actually, I've never played it, so I can't say that. I've never played it either. That doesn't mean we can't hate it. Fuck that shit. Yeah, okay. That doesn't mean.

Right, just play tennis. Everyone's just so smug and they've got their racket and they're like, and they look so happy. Maybe that's what it is. Maybe it's just the joy that they're feeling. Yeah, I think it's just. And I'll never feel that joy. So I mean, I guess that's what it's really about.

If you play, let me know and I'll like go for the first time with you. Okay, great. No, but I'll like tear a meniscus or something. And I, like, I just, like when people are like, you just hear these people, like I got a pickleball injury and you're like, that's it.

Loser. Absolutely, get on a boat and leave. And guess who plays pickleball? Who? My mom, Jennifer Aniston. Jennifer Aniston plays pickleball. Jennifer Aniston, you heard it here first. What is the greatest length you've gone

to get out of plans? Oh, this is fun. This is fun. So my dad is MS, he's in a wheelchair. What was the question? No, I'm just kidding, no, I'm just kidding. But I love that you're such a good interviewer. May I give a compliment?

Oh sure, of course. You're a great interviewer. Oh my God, you haven't even gotten into it yet. No, no, I'm just lubing you up yet. No, no, not based on today. Not based on today. Wait, let me just get some of the hand sweat. No, but wait, what was I talking? Okay, so my dad.

Your dad. So my dad, so I was starting to date this comedian. I don't know if he still does comedy, but this is 20 years ago. And we were supposed to work a weekend together at this club in the middle of nowhere. And I was like, and the way he kissed me, it was like soap opera, he had a real moment with me,

slow, and I was like, I wanna go home. And so I pretended like I didn't feel well. And then in the morning, I texted my mom at like 5 a.m. And I was like, in an hour, call me and tell me that dad's in the morning I texted my mom at like 5 a.m. and I was like in an hour call me and tell me that dad's in the hospital. And so I'm laying next to this guy. And so my mom who is a real gangster calls me, goes your dad's in the hospital.

And the guy's still sleeping and I'm trying to cry. Like I'm like, oh my God, what? You know, I have to leave on a plane. So I think that's the biggest lie. No, no, no. Do you ever feel guilty about doing a lie when it has to do with actual illness? I think I lied a couple times about my grandma dying.

They're like, again? Again, I was one of those people for a while, but it was to each different man, so I was like, this isn't making headway. Like it's to different people. But then I started to be like, again? I was one of those people for a while, but it was still like each different man. So I was like, this isn't like making headway, like it's to different people. But then I started to be like, oh, fuck, like someone's gonna die. Cause I keep saying someone's fucking dying.

I know, but whatever. Yeah, but no, my dad lives on. He will not die. Okay, he's with us. No, he is very much with us. But he did tell me the other day that he, what he wants done with his ashes. And I don't remember, I need to write it down.

But this looks like a nice place, is that an urn? No, no, no, but what he said was, I just wanna be with you. And I'm like, I don't think I can commit to eternity with my dad right now, you know? Yeah, I think that's like a little much. Yeah, like I don't know, I wanna see what my sister's up to, like I wanna see what everybody else is doing. Yeah, like little much. Yeah, like I don't know. I wanna see what my sister's up to.

Like I wanna see what everybody else is doing. Yeah, like your husband. Yeah, like what I'm just gonna be with my dad forever. Like me and my dad, like that's it. Yeah, I think you can kind of do one of those where you're like absolutely and you look him in the eye. Yes. And then once he's gone.

And I flush his ashes right into the sea. Yes. No, I'll put him somewhere nice. Do you think the people that wear like ashes like around their neck or a little, or do you do that? I don't wear jewelry at all because it like, I just feel weird. It looks weird on me. What? I don't know. It just looks weird on me.

Yeah, I'm nothing. Yeah. Do you say I'm nothing? I'm nothing. I have no, I am not bejeweled anywhere. Not even an earring? No, I let my holes close, including my vagina. Gone.

But the asshole, ready to go. Really ready. Okay, we're currently in Brooklyn in a random person's house. I like literally have no idea where we are. Yeah. So they'll come in at any moment and kick us out. But until then, what would you say

is the most New York quality about you? I think that I don't give a fuck. And that just in terms of on the subway or whatever, I'll be like, move in. This thing that, if it's just in you and it's like, I should like trying to keep a low pro. But you know, I just, I can't and I'll just get, you know, involved in anything that goes on.

And that's what's nice about New York is like that, especially public transportation, everybody's like together. The community aspect. Yeah, yeah, but yeah. Wait, does anyone ever be like, fuck you Amy Schumer, like at the fuck, like what? Yeah, no, I mean, Amy Schumer, like, get the fuck off, like, what? Yeah, no.

I mean, yes, but no. Let, you know, no, no, not really. I feel like I'm like anonymous here in New York, like no one cares. And they're expecting to see you. And they're almost like mad that it's either like, this is the famous person we're running into. You know, can we get Rihanna?

What the fuck? True. They expect to see me. They're like, where were you? We went to the 30 Rock today. Yeah. Okay, you grew up in the city, but you were born in Long Island? No, I was born in the city, and then I grew up on Long Island.

Okay, yeah, I got that backwards, sorry. How would you have described yourself as a kid? I would say, I think I'm exactly the same. What am I now? I would say, like, I'm a kid? I would say, I think I'm exactly the same. What am I now? I would say like my friends, loyal, psychotic and funny. You were always psychotic. I was always psychotic.

I was always just trying to make myself laugh. Oh, that's nice. You know, like have a good time. I mean, and I would want to make my friends laugh and other people, but it was really about, I think just trying to, you know, combat boredom and just like have fun completely. Yeah. Entertain myself. I need to picture you like in school, like little Amy. Little Amy was voted the class clown, classic and teachers worst nightmare. But

I was I played volleyball. Okay. So I was pretty serious about volleyball. So I was pretty serious about volleyball, so I wasn't like doing theater, but I did start plays when I was five, but then I got real into volleyball, and you're soccer, right? You did your research. Don't you like when someone's like, I guess I looked at Wikipedia and feels like a hero?

Wee, did you wanna be like an actress growing up or did you wanna be like a pro volleyball? Well, I was like actress, but I got really into volleyball. And then I had a bad surfing accident. And so I was taken out for the season. And I don't know if I could have played D1, but I was definitely going to play in college. You were going somewhere.

Somewhere, but you couldn't play volleyball and do the plays. So then you leaned into theater. Majored in theater. Okay, what was the most unhinged thing you did at school? Like you're the class con, like you're fucking shit up. Oh God, I mean I ran for, I believe I ran for president of student council

as a freshman. That'll, that'll, that'll put a target on your back. Just to make a speech. But I could be getting it wrong, it might've been junior high, but I believe it was. I believe it was I believe it was high school. And I just I made a speech and it was all lies. I talked about growing up on a farm in Iowa. I would,

you know, if there was a bake sale, I would bring in a ton of toast, you know, and like have a sign like toast like I just was an idiot and just like thought I was so funny. We that the confidence it takes if it was freshman year to go for president and seniors are looking at you like you fucking piece of shit back up. Like where did you get confidence from like that? I know, I don't know.

I really think my parents lied to me so much and I just believed it. And then when I found out they were lying, I was too late and I had this like confidence, and it was just too late. It couldn't be Shaken. It couldn't. Wait, are either of your parents funny? Yeah.

My dad, they're both funny. My dad's really funny. My mom is funny too. Cuckoo, in a good way. Yeah. I say that in a good way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, they're both really funny.

He's hilarious. How would you describe your social life? So you're funny, like did people like the funny kid or were you like alienated, no friends? I was cool. Sorry. No, I was cool. Like things weren't like easy.

I had major trauma and stuff when I was like 12, you know, which I'm totally happy to talk about. But yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause I know your life kind of flipped upside down around like 10. Yeah, yeah. My dad got MS and we went bankrupt. We had money.

We were comfortable. And then we were poor. And my parents got a divorce. And my mom started dating my friend's father. It was a whole nightmare. I really was traumatized, and didn't think I was traumatized. Of course, and then you look back.

No, it was really hard, but I still had a boyfriend, and I was still making jokes, and going out and popular and that kind of shit. To go from like being comfortable to then all of a sudden having your parents go bankrupt. Do you remember that conversation?

Like, how did you find out? Cause usually that's an overnight thing, right? Where everyone's like. It was overnight from what I remember. It was like, I mean, we went from like living in what I would consider like a mansion, you know, by real housewives standards, not decorated well or anything,

but a big house with a pool and whatever, to a like, you know, maybe two bedroom, tiny home. Or like, we moved every year and we lived, we would live in someone's basement or someone's attic and that kind of stuff. What happened? Well, it was like, I really feel like that part of it was all good and so, you know, I can make fun of my mom

and whatever, but I never, you know, I had, I always had like, this sounds bad, but I was gonna say, we always like had somewhere I had, I always had like, this sounds bad, but I was gonna say, we always like had somewhere to live. We always had food. I was never like embarrassed of my outfit and like, because also my friends didn't have any money, which was nice. Like none of us were dressed well.

None of us had a nice car or a car, you know? It was, so there was no like class distinction or anything. And I was just like, you know, wanted, I just, my mom says that I was embarrassed of our new house, like that I asked the school bus, like I don't know, something where I was like, can you drop me off somewhere else? I don't remember that, but I don't remember the loss of money being anything that I really felt. Just like the relocation. Yeah. Do you remember how it was explained to you,

like how your parents lost all the money? I don't remember that. I think it's just, it's, you know, like trying to, the revisionist history that each of my parents give, like I really can't tell what's true. Of course. You know.

That is like so disorienting when you become an adult because you're like, which one of you is a compulsive liar? And am I gonna do that to my children one day? Yeah. And like, are we all just completely remembering things in the way that allowed us to just move on? Yeah, you're right. It's really disorienting and destabilizing

because you're just like, is any of what I was told true? I don't at all know. I don't feel like I know anything about where, about my actual past. Can I ask you, because I know you mentioned it earlier, like the, your mom sounds amazing. Don't you love the roughness? Don't you love when like- Live for her, she's sounds amazing. Don't you love the preface? Don't you love when like-

Live for her, she's the greatest. Jennifer! Go Jen. I will say it's so funny having like public platforms because my parents are always like, we love how you just like talk about us. And I'm like, well, it's my fucking life, sorry. I love the no socks.

Wait, did you wear no socks with those shoes? Yeah, well, I live really close to here and then I'll just like go home and like, you know, and I wanted to show off my, no, my feet are really in a bummer right now. You don't wear socks with shoes? No, I usually do. I usually do.

What happened this morning? I just, I mean, I just like came over here, it took 13 minutes in a car, you know? So, yeah, so no socks. Do you do that often? If it's like, I'm just gonna be out for a little bit, yeah. Well, how does that strike you? Are you like, your feet are cold or?

One feet cold. Is a nude foot. Do you not even have nail polish on there? No, look at my nails, okay? Look at my, look at like, okay? Your hand is shaking. My hand is shaking, okay? She's totally exhausted, you guys, from holding the mic. So I'm panting, okay. My hand is shaking. Okay.

She's totally exhausted you guys from holding the mic. I'm panting. Back to your mother. Oh yeah. You're sorry. So your mom had an affair with your best friend's dad. Right. How was that told to you?

It was told to me like, we're in love. I'm for the first time in love with someone. I realize I've never been in love before. And I was like conditioned to be like, well, I'm so happy for you. Go girl, you deserve happiness. I love you so much.

Like, you know, just kind of, you deserve happiness, I love you so much. Just kind of brainwash to worship your parent, your mom and vilify my dad and so I was just kinda like, I got you. Did you stay friends with that friend? We tried but no. Did they end up living together ever? Your mom and the guy, Like did it ever go? Viral.

They were together I think for like two months. Oh, oh quick. Yeah, like almost destroy like a family. And then like, you know, I met someone new and like, and now I really know what love is, like 10 times. God bless her. Love. She is so self-aware and we are in a good place.

Love. But yeah, and you know what? And I really like judged her when I was 30 because I kept crazy journals. I read back from 12 to 21 I kept these journals and I'm like, oh my God, this woman. But now that I'm a mom and I'm around the age she was, I'm like, look, you don't know, okay?

There's a lot of fucked up shit that goes on. Yeah, she kept a roof over her heads, I don't know. That's true. I also feel like when you get to that age, again, you're told such different things because you don't know. That's true. I also feel like when you get to that age, like again, like you're told such different things because you don't know really what's going on behind the scenes and your mom and your dad's relationship and all these things.

And now that you're like married and you have a child, you're like, oh, I'm seeing it a little bit more clearly. Not that you would do that, but it puts things in. Unless one of my son's like friends has a dad that's like at all, even a little interested. Then we're fucking popping over. Let's go. Are you someone that typically handles bad news well?

Like, do you like black out? Are you people pleasing? Are you like? I handle it, I handle it well. I handle like kind of emergencies and that kind of stuff. Like I stay very chill. Just know that everything you're asking me in my mind, I'm like, and you?

And you, you're not asking me a fucking question today. This is about you. We only got a certain amount of time. Like we are focused on Amy. Is someone coming in here after me? No, oh my God, I only do one basically like a week. I gotta be lubed up for you. You are amazing.

You're not like on the casting couch and we're not rotating this shit. It's you and only you. Did you look up my favorite porn? Yeah. Now I feel attacked. That's your favorite porn? No, not, no, but I had a phase with that, sure.

Oh, you did? Yeah. Sure. What's your favorite porn? Well, the thing is, and I was hoping this would come up. Yeah, I figured. I feel like I can't say it because, you know, a lot of porn is like from real life situations

that go awry and then I'm getting a massage or I'm in a car or I'm whatever and I don't want like the driver or the, you know, I don't want them, you know, you have to live your real life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, you know, I'll tell you later. Okay, yeah, you don't want anyone to get the right idea.

Is podcast porn a thing? They should make that where it's like, you're like, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, and then all of a sudden. I'm like, Amy, give me that butt. Yeah, give me your bare butt. You start massaging your butt mid-interview. You are one of the most successful women obviously in comedy. When we were like, I'm turning this shit into a fucking career. Let's go.

Right. I well, I didn't start sale Antonio after college, I was 23, and I did not even think about the possibility of making a living from it, but the first time I got a college gig, and they were like, we're paying you $800 for one hour, and I ran around my apartment, do it like laps around my apartment. Like it's like the best feeling I've ever felt.

I was like, well, I feel this good if I ever have a baby. And as someone who's had a baby, no, okay? And I was like, oh my God, for an hour. $800, that's a gig. It was so far upstate, college is pay well, and it was so far upstate New York that it was like you flew into Canada and just no one else wanted to do it.

So I got it. And yeah, and then I was like, oh my God, if I can just make a living doing this, that's all I want. But then you start, you get there and you go, what's next, what's next, what's next. And so yeah, and then like and you go, what's next, what's next, what's next. And so, yeah, and then like, I really wanna try and make a lot of money. After the roast of Charlie Sheen,

that was obviously like a huge moment. That was big. On your Wikipedia at least, that's what it reads. How often are you? Barbara Walters is back. No. No. Babs is here.

I'm fucking dead. Walters is back. No. No. Babs is here. I'm fucking dead. How often are you using your roasting skills? Are you someone fucking roasting your friends? Yeah, your best friends, that's all you do. We just trash each other the whole time. But yeah, my friends, yeah. But really, I wouldn't Yeah, but really, like, I wouldn't do that to an audience again. I wouldn't do a roast

again. Why? I just was young and like didn't realize that people's feelings really get hurt. Oh, you know, I mean, that's so that sounds so stupid. But it was like, you know, you and especially when you're starting out, you just think, okay, these people are so famous. I'm a completely unknown comedian. Who cares what I say? But then, you know, like, oh, that probably really did hurt

that person's feelings or something. You think, well, I know it's hurt people's feelings, but I also feel like there's been like a random rise again and like the Netflix specials are roast and people are roasting and people are like liking it. Like obviously we saw Nikki Glaser had like a huge moment because people were like, oh my God, like keep fucking roasting.

Who was it? Oh my God, she killed. No, I love watching roasts and they're so funny. I just don't, like I couldn't do it because- You go too hard. I don't, I absolutely go for like the jugular, bring a gun, do a knife fight. But also, I don't know.

Like I just feel, and with the audience, I wouldn't, you know, I used to be like, if you're gonna heckle me or something, you're gonna be handed your ass. And now I'm like, it's just better to diffuse it. And I think just from therapy and maybe becoming a mom. You're like, I kinda want peace. Yeah, I will not feel better if I hurt you.

But you're good at it. Good to know, it's in your arsenal. But hold on, with my husband, if we're talking shit about other people, I would not feel better if I hurt you. But you're good at it. Good to know, it's in your arsenal. But hold on, with my husband, if we're talking shit about other people, you know, you could not. Every night. The worst people in the whole world.

I wish I could be a fly on the wall. Disgusting human beings. Isn't it the best where you're like, no, I am a good person, but the shit I say with my husband. Oh God. I think that's why we click so much is just the evil working beneath. Obviously comedy is such a male dominated industry,

not to get too fucking deep here. Well, whatever. They're all male dominated industries. Every single one. Yeah, we're talking about comedy today, but any other industry that you pick up, yes, it is male dominated at all times. But yours happens to be comedy.

So we're gonna talk about the men in that industry. Did you ever have an experience like that was so obvious to you where you were like, wow, I'm literally not being taken as seriously because I don't have a dick. I would say only every single day, all day, every moment of every single day, every day, all day. Wow.

Yeah. Okay. Yes. Yes. It's so sad. It is sad. And I would love to say something different, but the only thing to do is be in the highest position of power and call the shots because the second you're in somebody else's,

I was gonna say ballroom. I'm like, I don't know why are you in a ballroom? But it's just if you're not at the, and even when you are at the top of the food chain, it's still, there's no relief. And any woman that you think might have it different does not. At all.

At no point ever. Yeah. There's like some Gloria Steinem quote. Oh, I love her. Yeah, it's like any woman who'd like, I'm gonna butcher it, but who decides to live an interesting life or something will be treated as a cruel joke

and she'll need her sisterhood. And I'm sorry, because I butchered it, but you know. No, no, no, the concept, I get it. And I wish it wasn't like that and I, God damn, I wish it wasn't like that. No, it is like, it's, I appreciate you saying that. Yeah. As sad as it is, you're like every day, every waking minute

of my fucking life, bitch. Like I wanna make one time a promoter, but I'm like, no, every second of every day, every set, every, everything. And how sad that like we are in these privileged positions and I'm like, wow, like I'm like a privileged white woman and I fucking feel it all the time. Like, can you, I.

Everyone just thinks that women at any point might lose it and they're just waiting for you. So every day it's like memento. You have to like start over and remind everyone that you're in your position for a reason every day, every day. And I just wanna say this, since you asked. Every year, you're in like a chain, like a WhatsApp chat or a text chain

with the other moms in class. I mean, with the other parents, and then they pick, they designate class moms. You know, they go like, and they haven't changed it to be PC, they haven't made it to class parents. Okay, class mom. It's class moms. Cause the moms are the ones handling shit

and communicating and we text and we never, and then once in a while, like a dad will pop in there and we'll be like, Rick, are you lost? You know, the moms are really getting things done. Right. And I just think, I want people at home to imagine, like imagine if your dad one year was in charge of planning

your birthday party. I wouldn't have had one. No, okay? Your dad is like, I'm gonna handle it this year, okay? Any dad is like, I got it. And or anything or planned anything. They communicate, they can't. And I think this is, and men are in charge of the world.

It's terrible. The world and that's why we're in so many wars. I think that it's not even on purpose. I think probably these men were probably just trying to plan a birthday party. Right? Someone quote that. That's gonna be like on the internet.

No, you're right. You know what I'm saying? It's so true and it's really, I appreciate you saying this because I was gonna ask you that today because obviously like the state of our world, we don't need to get into it. Because it's like we would be here for 19 hours

and we would start crying. Yes, we would kill ourselves. We would have a suicide bet. But I think especially as women, it's interesting because I've had people ask me like advice and in some capacity, I try as fucking hard as I can, but I'm also like, like I mentioned earlier, we're privileged and on top of that,

like it literally hasn't gotten that much better. If anything, it's like people do it like sneakier around me, but I'm still experienced, like misogynistic fucks that are like essentially criticizing me for X, Y, Z. Or saying stuff about like, oh, if she ever talked about sex, then she's just like forever a whore.

Like I feel like at one point people really tried to pin you as just a sex comic. Every woman is a whore. What woman steps out into the spotlight and is not just like, you're a whore. And you're a whore. It's just the level of whorey-ness. But why do you think men are so frustrated

when women talk about sex? I think they're afraid of women and they're afraid. I really do. I think men are terrified of women. I think it goes back to how they feel about their moms. I think they feel guilty about their mom. I mean, we all feel guilty about our moms. And just scared at everything we've ever seen,

all the old movies, all the books, all the, you know, it's like, it's all from the guy's point of view. It's all the male gaze, the slow pan up from her heel. And it's just starting to get better. And so if I were to say to Gloria Stein, I'm like, what the hell? She'd be like, it's so much better than it was. But what it was, was that not that long ago,

you needed your husband to get a credit card. And we couldn't vote. And like, you know. Here we are. And here we are. And here we are. Yeah. Losing rights by the day.

Yay. In your dating life, did you ever feel like, because you were in the beginning, so open about talking about sex, did you ever feel like because you were in the beginning so open about talking about sex, did you ever feel like guys had specific expectations of you if you were going to hook up with them because of how open you were about bedroom stuff?

That's a good question. I don't think they did. I think they could tell I was full of shit. You know, I remember in college, I would kind of try to talk a big game and be like really confident, like Mae West or maybe a more up to date reference. And then we would, I would go home with them.

I remember I went home with this guy one time and he had like, I don't know, like pit bulls or Doverman Pinch. I don't know, he had these like dogs and he was like just, I think he had like an ankle bracelet on, you know, like he was on parole or something. And like we were, and we're like kissing

and like we're like in the laundry room of my dorm. And it was like, it just all happened so quick. And I was like naked. And I was like, I am in way over my head. I am not this experience sexually. I have been completely bullshitting this guy, trying to like act like I know something. And yeah, I still, but no, nobody ever,

he knew I was full of shit too, he probably just wanted to. Those are the worst moments where you're there and you're like, wait. I was bluffing. I don't actually like this, I was trying to say a big game and like, please stop. Yeah, I'm actually super vulnerable and scared of your penis.

Terrified. Behind closed doors, like in your 20s and 30s, how did you, like what was your relationship to your sex in your body? 20s and 30s, I think, like I remember the first time when I was a teenager and my first boyfriend was like fingering me or something and I was like wet and I was really embarrassed and I thought it was a bad

thing so I kept going to the bathroom and like wiping it up you know I had no idea and then in college I think I was so drunk all the time like I just I feel like my self esteem was super low cause I went to Towson University and that was number one for Playboy for hottest women that year. Are you serious? So I was just an actual troll

with the physique of Brian Cox and I was like, I just look like an MMA fighter and I'd have to wait, I would black out. And so I didn't even think about trying to have an orgasm probably until I was, I probably didn't have the confidence to try and have the guy make me cum until I was in my 30s. Which I think is probably more normal than not.

I'm telling you, there are so many women that message me and are like, I literally have no, I don't feel anything. And I'm like, it's because half of the time when you go to have sex for the first time, the guy is enjoying it. No woman is having an orgasm the first time or second time they're having sex. You don't know what you're doing.

So I think that's a normal thing to say. I have never come from penetration, ma'am. It's a scary thing to say out loud. No, it's not. I mean, it's scary because nobody talks about it, because we're all getting an Oscar, but. Getting an Oscar. But no, I've had generous partners who understand

that I need to orgasm first. And I know you subscribed to that. 100%. On your Wikipedia, it says to make her cum. Is that the third line or the fifth? Which one was that again? No, listen, I get it. Like I think in the early days of my show,

I used to talk so openly, like over the top openly that maybe it made some people uncomfortable, but it was like almost like trying to go above and beyond to normalize it for women, because it's not normalized for women. So I appreciate you saying that, because I think there's so many women that are gonna listen to this.

Not that you need to be the advocate for no coming through penetration, but it's- It makes people really mad. It does? It makes people, well, I mean, not about me, but like, oh shoot, there was this documentary about this woman who had, she was doing all these studies and was like,

shoot, do you have an information person? Yeah, we can Google. The height report. The height report? Or the kite report. The kite report. The height or the kite, very different, but could be the height report. The height report. The kite report. The height or the kite. Very different, but could be the height report.

The height report. The height report. And she was like, she was reporting on women's real sexual experiences and like giving feedback. And she was like completely, of course, shunned and of course had to like move to Europe, which is what we do with all of our famous shunned people. Classic. Like, do you pull your dick out when no one wants that? Go to Europe.

No, I appreciate you saying that. I think there's a lot of people that have experienced that and I am absolutely not coming every time whatsoever from penetration, but my vibrator does the trick. God bless. God bless. I'm gonna love, I'm gonna love, baby. Okay, when do you feel you're most confident? On stage, doing standup, I think. That's amazing. Is it?

Yeah, you feel you're most confident. What if I was like, as a it? Yeah, you feel your most. What if I was like, as a mom, no, I'm like. Yeah, because I'm like, you know, it's like, you're playing a little bit of a part, you know, even though my like stage persona is pretty close to who I am. Yeah. It's still like, you're in charge and empowered

and you know, whatever. When obviously, like I think every again, woman in the industry, I'm not saying men don't experience it but women obviously like tenfold. Like there's so much conversation about the way we look and who we are and our bodies and all the conversations and people feel so inclined to be like, I have so many thoughts about it, which is fucking insane.

Was there ever a point around the conversation around how you looked, impacted your self-worth? I mean, it hurts to have a lot of hate thrown at you from the internet. It doesn't feel good. I was definitely coming up in comedy when it was the height of people on the internet letting you know, giving me feedback.

Yeah, and I don't know, I have always, I have always thought, I've always felt hot. I've gotta say it, I've always felt hot. And then you have moments where, you know, you look in the mirror and you're like, I'm Shrek. And then, but like, it's like I have a little secret that I'm like, I'm secretly hot. You know what I mean?

And I've always had that. And I don't know, I'm 43, I'll see, we'll check in. I think that's amazing. In a couple years when we're both living in Europe. Yeah, yeah, true. Oh, fuck. This interview, like everyone's like, get the fuck out. No, I think that's like really great to hear

because you can almost see when specific women that are public figures, because those are the only people we get to watch unless you're staring at your neighbor like a freak. You can tell when someone's going through it. You can tell when everyone is picking her part, everyone is, and I'm always like, God damn, this is not natural.

I wonder how she's doing. So it's nice to hear that you're like, I'm fucking hot bitch, shut up. I believe that I'm hot. You are. When I was going through, I guess it was like a year ago, and the internet really came for me

after doing a bunch of press. And I was like, okay, everybody, relax. But then I was like, but then doctors were chiming in in the comments and they were like, no, no, we think you, like something's really up. Like your face looks so crazy that we think something's up. And I'm like, I'm like, wait,

I'm getting trolled by doctors, you know? And they were like, we think you have something called Cushing and it's like about spiking cortisol, like about, you know, cortisol levels and, you know, steroids, you know, injection, whatever. cortisol levels and steroids, injection, whatever. And I was like, wait, okay. I was like, fuck off.

And then I was like, wait, I have been getting steroid injections in my scars. God, now everybody in your audience is gonna wanna fuck me. I had a breast reduction, C-section, whatever, and I'm like, and so I was getting these steroid injections and so it gave me this thing called Cushing syndrome, which I wouldn't have known if the internet

hadn't come for me so hard. So right before I started filming, kind of pregnant, which you guys have to check out on Netflix. We're getting there, it's so good. I was, right before we started rolling was when I learned I had this condition and that I had something called moon face. And then there's just, I'm starring in a movie

and there's a camera right in my face. And I'm like, and they're like rolling and I'm like, oh my God. And you know, I asked some of the people close to me and everyone's like, you look great, but then you have like, you're one friend from high school that's like, your face is looking like a little bit insane and you're like, okay.

I love you. Yeah, and so anyway, I got rid of, it just has to work itself out. There are two kinds of cushing and one of them you could die. Oh my God. And so for like 24 hours I was like. I'm dead.

Yeah, so I was feeling really down on myself before I started filming this movie. I am so sorry, but I'm happy that you're okay. Thank you. But I wanna say something else. I was feeling so down on myself, and I was like really having trouble figuring out how I was going to star in a movie

while I had this going on. And it just took one friend who, this girl Lorraine who lives in New Orleans, who's a director, Lorraine Cafferty, she was like, you know what? And you know, I think you look fucking great. And you're gonna, like she just, and I just needed one person to just amp me up. And I, you look fucking great. And you're gonna, like she just, and I just needed one person to just amp me up.

And I, you know. Right, and you're like, let's go. Which is also, did you see the movie Young Adult? No. Oh, was Charlize Theron? Wait, no. Okay, you have to see this movie. Okay, okay.

Anyway, that's just, I don't wanna spoil the end for you, but you know, you just need one person to be like, go. I think that's like really incredible, but you did, the fucking toe, I can't, I can't. Are you like Chelsea Hamler, like you get grossed out by feet, it's just that I don't have like a pedicure. No, I don't give a shit about the pedicure. I'm just shocked you don't have socks on,

that's my only note and then I'm gonna keep it with me. Because of the cold? No, because like who the fuck shows up to an interview with no socks on and shows up also with sneakers on with no socks on. Okay, but with sneakers on with no socks on. Okay, but ma'am, you also are dressed like you're in hospice. So like why, like, but why, so why? You copied me.

I did. I couldn't, you know how quick I wanted to come here? I mean, that's it. You dress like you're in hospice and I love it. It's like, yes. It's so cozy, it's so cozy. Come on. Can we talk about your husband?

I'd love to. Chris. Chris. Chris. And he's a chef? Yep. Okay, is it true that if you are married to a chef, like they never cook for you because they're cooking all the time?

No, that's not true. Oh my God, I have to tell my friend who literally is married to a chef and she's like, it just sucks because he never cooks for me. He literally hates you. Wait, oh my God. Oh my God. Yeah, no, your friend's husband hates her. Oh my God. Wait.

Yeah, no, your friend's husband hates her. Oh my God, they just got engaged. Well, that's gonna be called off. That's fucked up, he doesn't cook for her. I know, he doesn't so much, he's tired. This is like, and Chris knows too, it's like I can never leave him. Yeah.

Like what, what, what am I gonna do? Yeah, you're indebted to him. Yeah, he's fucked. What's the main dish? He, that's the thing. It's always, yeah. He's so, last night he made shrimp pad thai. But also, you know, I keep in the back of my head,

you know, for a rainy day. Yeah. I can just get takeout. Okay, but no. You know. Is that when you're in fights and he's like, well then I won't talk and you're like, I'm already on door dash. I have never yelled at him, I can just get take out,

but I am keeping that tucked in the pocket. Yeah, it's kind of iconic. Yeah, no, we get along, we're just toxic together. Those are the best relationships. Yeah. When, obviously you're like very famous and yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Still at the height. You know, I try to remind him. Yeah.

Like you're a big fucking deal. Yeah. He's like, can you why don't you go in? And I'm like, I'm like very famous. And he's like, OK, he just is not interested. He does. He doesn't care. I was going to say, like, what does he think of this fucking chaos? No, it's like the same with my son or my husband. It's like your mom and the year my wife. Like, you know, I think sometimes they'll try to empathize with it. He doesn't care. He doesn't

give a shit. He doesn't care. He's been around. He like grew up on Martha's Vineyard. Oh, so he's so rich. No, it's like on Martha's Vineyard, there's so he's rich? No, it's like, on Martha's Vineyard, there's like the rich people, and then there's like the people that work for the rich people. And that was him. And that was him. And you know, there's a nice community,

and I feel lucky that I grew up most of my life like without any money, because you know, Chris had to really hustle to make it as a chef. I had to really hustle to make it, like didn't have a relative to ask for $100. Yeah. And so, but he did grow up with like some famous friends.

Oh, that's kind of nice. Wait, how old is your child? I wanna say five. Yeah, he's five and a half. Wait, have you shown him any of your movies? He has seen Trolls 3, which I did a voice in. And he has seen the moment in 3, which I did a voice in. And he has seen the moment in Trainwreck when I try to dunk.

And he came in a lot when I was editing kinda pregnant. What does he think? Is it mommy? He thinks that the stunts are funny. He does. Yeah. Like the Zamboni scene? Does he understand that? I don't think he saw the Zamboni scene. Do you understand that? I don't think he saw the Zamboni scene.

Why not? Too aggressive? Probably, it probably would have scared him. It's a little much. Yeah, that wasn't. But the first couple hits were good and then when you guys took out the whole sidecar of the restaurant, I was like, Jesus.

I have to be honest and just say that that was not, that was not written by me, that part. And also the part in Trainwreck where I come out and dance was not my idea either. It wasn't? No, this is, that's the male intervention. Kate, it was kind of funny, we'll give them that. Yeah.

The Zamboni was funny. Yeah, yeah. Okay. And also thank you for just like telling everyone the end of my movie. No, it's the beginning of the movie. Fuck, cut this, cut this. Something crazy happens on a stamponi.

No, nobody would remember. No, no, no, no, no. And it's not too like. No, I mean, you know. Not to just do quickly, because I know you've talked about this before, but you talked about how your husband has autism. How did you guys decide to be public about that? Not that you shouldn't,

I'm just curious. Well, I didn't ask him. No, I'm just kidding. Just one night. Well, the way it happened was I was going to document making this stand-up special and then I found out I was pregnant. And we're like, okay, great, that'll be part of the doc. And then I was so sick. I had something called hyperemesis gravidarum,

which this is good. Anybody listening, if you have severe nausea and vomiting, and everyone's going, it's the first trimester, and you're like, I don't know, hyper emesis gravitarum. That's a word. Wait, hyper? Hyper emesis gravitarum. So say it slow, slow.

Hyper. Hyper. No, hyper. Hyper means a lot. I know what you don't understand. Emesis means nausea. Wait, emesis? Emesis, emesis means vomiting. I just wanted you to say it slow so I could say it with. Wait, emesis? Emesis. Emesis means vomiting.

I just wanted you to say it slow so I could say it with you. Hyper emesis. Hyper emesis gravidarum. Gravidarum. I feel like we're in like the craft and we're like, hyper emesis gravidarum. Like we're gonna make this style. But yes, and they really underdiagnosed

everything with women. Of course. And colluding endometriosis, hello, you're not supposed to have vile cramps. That's not normal. It usually takes 10 years to get a diagnosis for endometriosis. Anyway, you sum things up.

It's not just normal. You're not being dramatic. Anyway, and then my husband was on the spectrum. No, I'm just kidding. So then after we were married a couple months, he would just do things where I'd be like, it would be such a different response than I was, that sort of we were used to.

One time I fell and it's like everybody would be like, are you okay? And he would just kind of like, just stare. And it was like, oh. and he would also just say things in front of people. It's part of what I fell in love with was that he'd be like, you know, why is your like outfit so weird? Are you, you know, and says exactly what he thinks.

And I was like, would you be interested? I just did like a little online test, just me. And I was like, oh, for my test, I was like, he's on the spectrum. And I said to him, would you be interested in learning more about your brain? Like, would you wanna find out if you were on the spectrum? And he was like, yeah.

And he- That's a nice also way to like approach something. Yeah. And had he said like, no, I would have been like, all right. But he went and he was tested. And yeah, and it's been amazing. It's been amazing for him and for me. But it's because it's public

and there aren't many adults out. Everyone's quiet about it because there's such a stigma. So I think he's like really cool and brave that he's like out there. Like, yeah. And, and how many, and like, how many people do you know where you're like, this person's on the spectrum, who cares? They're like my favorite people. I agree.

Like, I think it's nice. Obviously it's not like his burden to bear to be like the poster child of, but like, it's nice. I agree because there are so many people, but it's like, obviously it's not like his burden to bear to be like the poster child, but like it's nice. I agree because there are so many people, but it's like there's a stigma around it, which there shouldn't be. No, it's stupid. And I remember when I was a kid,

people were embarrassed about ADHD. And now like people, that's the second thing they'll tell you about themselves. Of course. And so I just, I hope that it gets more normalized. And like, and I, you know, I feel like he's done his part and I think it's great. Yeah. Great.

And you know what? I like, you know, he of course annoys me. And like, there are days where I like, you know, want to kill him, but we, I would still choose him out of everyone I've ever met. Yeah. I love it. And not just cause he's a chef, but God, that doesn't hurt.

And someone you can talk shit with, done. Can we talk about your new movie, even though I ruined the entire editing? Yes. I'm gonna cut it. Yes, did you have any more spoilers you wanted to? I'm gonna go through the entire movie. No, I was cackling.

I was saying to everyone this morning, I'm like, I, it was so nice seeing you lead another movie because you are so physically funny comedy wise. Like, no, the way you, that sounds so creepy, but like move your body and you're just like very, very physically funny. And that is like a hard thing to do. Obviously you're like verbally funny,

but you're just so fucking good. That's so nice. And it's an honor to sit on this couch with you. Oh my God, this is such a nice couch. No, when I saw this like suede ass couch, I said yes. No, that's really nice because I haven't, I haven't starred in a movie in a while. This script was sent to me, you know, and like I'm like a little snot, like I won't starred in a movie in a while. This script was sent to me, you know,

and I'm like a little snot, like I won't do, you know, I'm like, for me to like give that much time and energy to something, I have to be into it. And I was like, I think this is a really good idea. A woman faking a pregnancy is so insane. Yeah, and I just, there was like, the backbone was there, like the skeleton was there to like, you know, to shape a bunch of it.

And you know, I like, I'm trying to just show women having fun and being equals, you know, and like female friendships. And so it was like, that was also there for me and clearly the point of the movie. Like it's, you know, it's described as a rom-com and it is, but it kind of isn't. It's more about the love story of the friendships.

The entire movie is hilarious. It's every single scene, I feel like, just keeps ramping up, ramping up, the knife in the child scene. I was like, holy. Wait, now this movie, no one's gonna see it because it's like, when you stab the child. No, I didn't say that. I said knife in the child scene. Yeah, yeah, no one's gonna see it because it's like, no, no, when you stab the child. No, I didn't say that.

I said knife in the child scene. Yeah, yeah, but do you now hear it out loud and like see that? Knife. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like, it's a horror film. No, no, no, it is one of the funniest scenes. No children are stabbed in this movie.

No, he's holding a knife. Okay, okay, just like. They're like, Amy Schumer goes on Call Her Daddy and they talk about the knife. There is, no child gets stabbed during the movie. No child is stabbed. Child holding knife, funny, funny scene. Funny, funny child knife, not scene.

Scene. And scene. And scene. But one of my favorite like themes in the movie is the fact that these women, it's all about timelines. And I feel like that is the most fucking realistic conversation I have on the show so often. It's like everyone comparing the timeline here

and oh, you're having a baby but I'm not engaged yet but you're divorced and oh my God and I'm single and I want kids or I'm doing IVF or I can't get pregnant. There's so much and the reason that we get anxious is because we're looking around and we're like, where am I, where am I? How do I fit in? And everyone's always asking you.

It's insane. How do you think this movie does a good job of kind of embodying the concept of stop constantly comparing yourself to other people around you? Yeah, I think this movie is about, I think my character's Laney and she, when she's a little girl loses her mom and is just like, doesn't wanna be alone.

So she has the idea of wants a lot of family around her. And I didn't have a lot of family around me as a kid that I connected to that. My friends would have big families and I would kind of go and hang with them and be like, oh, one day I want a family. And like, she just thinks that's a way to not be alone. And then, you know, realizes that you're,

I mean, for me, my favorite times are with my girlfriends and like laughing and having a dinner or whatever, I'm really close to my girls from home and my friends that I've made since I've been older. And that's where a lot of my joy comes from. I don't ever say joy in real life. So I feel like just because I'm on this couch, can you just like, can you voice over and have someone say something I would say?

Like, what? Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. But my good vibes and having fun. You know, it's like I love my family. But you know, you're girls. Yeah, no, it's so true. And I feel like also as you get older, especially with kids or someone that's not having kids like there

Feels like there can be this disparity within friendships where I have so many women right and being like, oh my god I like I feel like I'm getting disconnected to my friend cuz she just got married and I'm single and I'm like I So get that that could be a feeling Yeah, but that who gives a shit where you're each at like the reason your friends is because you like each other as human being Yeah, and I think I was the last one of my friends to have a kid, and I was not someone who was like, always knew she wanted to be a mom, and yeah, it wasn't until Chris was literally like,

we're gonna have a family, and I was like, aw. But I am also like, if you were like, if someone's like, should I have kids? I'm like, probably not. You know, like, it's not looking good. You know, things aren't looking good. So I just, I think it's, and also I think people get intimidated.

If you haven't like ever spent time around little kids, you feel confused. And so your friends can kind of alienate themselves because they're like, okay, I don't understand this and I don't understand children. But you love your friends and you want them to be a part of your life, but you don't want them to be uncomfortable.

It's like, I would love for my friends who don't have kids to be in my life or my child's life. But then it's like like you have a kid, you understand that I don't need, you don't need your friends to phone over your kid. You have such a good thing with your kid and you know they're cute and you know they love you. So you don't need, and I think people think,

oh, I'm supposed to play some other role. You don't even need to mention the kid's name. But I'll be obsessed with some of my friends' kids. But then also, I don't remember all their names. True. It's like, you have your own. You're like, me and my kid are good. Yeah.

But really, I'm not like, if someone were like, I just don't feel like everybody has to have kids. No, and that's what I was gonna say. I feel like people can read the room better. If you are a mother and you know your friend has been struggling, and whether she can to have kids. No, and that's what I was gonna say. Like, I feel like people can read the room better. If you are a mother and you know your friend has been struggling and whether she can't have kids or she doesn't wanna have kids, stop being the one being like,

let me just show you one more photo. Like, knock it off. My, every one of my friends, I would say, I would say like almost 100% of my friends have had miscarriages. And I feel like lucky that we all like, feel comfortable sharing that with each other. Because like, it's so painful and you know, whatever.

I'm like gonna say, people don't talk about it, but they do because I've heard people say they don't talk about it. But I just feel like it's the most sensitive thing. I think for any woman, that's the most painful thing I can imagine. Yeah, and I feel like your movie, though, brings light to what is a very sensitive topic, and I found a lot of, I don't know, I just enjoyed it because, yes, there is so

much negative around it of like, we aren't allowed to talk about this and then it's like, oh, we're bitching if we talk about it too much, but if we don't open up about it, then we're not honest and real. And there's just so much that goes into being a fucking woman like we've talked about this entire episode and I promise I'm wrapping up.

But I think you're- I'm having the best time. You are, did you have a good time? Yeah. Like are you gonna leave here and be like- I'm gonna leave here and be like, feel like I just hung out with a good friend. I hope that's not embarrassing.

No, no, no. I was so vulnerable in the beginning that's telling you I was kind of a fucking fan and I'm DMing you like a creep. And now. So nice. Now we have cred. Now if I DM you, you're gonna answer me

not in three years. That's right. You'll answer me like tomorrow. Two years. Amy Schumer, thank you for coming on Call or Dottie. Thanks for having years. That's right. You'll answer me tomorrow. Two years. Two years. Amy Schumer, thank you for coming to Call or Dottie. Thanks for having me. You're amazing.
