I wanted to do Giggly Squad when my movie came out.
And she goes, we don't have guests.
And literally one second later, Kate Hudson goes,
I can't wait to be on your show tonight.
And I go like this.
Busted.
Do you want to think about your answers quickly for a second?
I'll step away.
I'll ask you again in an hour.
That was horrible timing.
That was bad timing.
I know.
I saw a page behind you.
Like, you know.
Young guys.
Yeah, young guys, you just suddenly have to be like,
and they'll be like, I'm so, so.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
That's not a sex.
Stupid idiots.
Also, young guys, give them a little kiss.
They're, like, all happy.
Again, older guys, they've seen too much already.
They're like, don't get your tits out of my face.
I've seen too much.
Get your tits out of my face.
I love these guys that just dress like school shooters, get on stage.
I mean, Shane, love of my life, did MSG with, like, his hair was just straight up.
Like, he just woke up from a nap.
Yeah, he gives this shit.
Yeah.
And that's a full arena.
Like they can see the mind your head.
And it was adorable.
Yeah.
Dana, we got Hannah Burner who is a podcast.
Hannah burner.
Comedian.
Yeah, the Giggly Squad.
The Giggly Squad is a big podcast.
She all with Paige to Sorbo.
She also has, she's a standup.
I see her out there out and about.
I've seen her here and there.
Very funny.
It was time to have her on.
She's got a, you know, special coming out.
And we talk about that, of course.
We talk about her podcast, going on the road of their podcast, and everything in between.
We do crack up a lot.
When you have comics on, we all wind up laughing a lot, which is cool.
Yeah, we just bounce, bounce around, go where we go.
She's really funny and fun to have.
It's great.
Now, here she is.
Hannah Burner.
Is that she's...
Hannah!
Oh, I have the right glasses.
Wait, there she is.
Oh, my God.
We're half a side of her.
roll in. Why are you guys late? Thank you. Why are you
500 years late? Don't be mad at my research. Don't be mad
that we care. You guys are so cute.
I saw you and Paige to your thing. And then it was
on the paper, on the table, nothing.
Not one piece of paper.
What are you talking about? Your podcast.
Your podcast.
The giggle squad. You guys, I like your
white background. I like it's kind of cool.
Yeah, it's already almost over. You better put your earphones
in. We're halfway done.
Oh, Jesus.
Ghetto. Well,
there's a clip.
Darn headphones. Okay, we'll take a break.
I will put perfectly good headphones
into my pocket, Dana.
And I pull them out like that and it takes 35
minutes. Oh, I have a drawer
with that stuff. I'm like the game operation.
I go, what is happening?
It's some kind of gremlins go in there and
with you and then you go,
now they're tied in with their
fucking.
How is that even possible?
Professional not person
couldn't do a knot this.
Oh my God.
That's my point.
David Blaine.
It's called poltergeist.
It's called things that we can't explain.
You couldn't tie those if you gave it to props.
Okay, this is what I'm going to do.
Oh, my.
Oh, you're doing a single.
That's sexy.
Can you get the other one up here?
Try to lift it.
Is the other side too tied up?
Frick.
How is even
Don't hurt yourself.
Don't hurt yourself.
I'm like a DJ.
I do one ear.
Just in case something else happens in the room.
I do that sometimes too.
If you're doing a funny voice,
you can go like that so you can hear it in the room.
Yeah.
The voice won't hit unless you have the outer room.
I gotcha.
Is that a real plant or a fake plant?
What do you think?
Fake.
Yeah.
Yes.
Is that a real plant?
a real Superman or a dog fake.
Wait, this is like, is it cake, but with Dana Carphe?
It is spade cake.
Is this water or an illusion?
Well, that's kind of cool looking.
Hannah, you know the good thing is you're promoting your special on Hulu, but this counts
as like nothing because it's just a screw off.
This is my most exciting thing I got.
I was like, I'm so honored to be here.
This is awesome.
I mean, I have nothing to talk about, but.
No, that's none of my business.
Whoops.
Oh, that's actually a title.
Oopsie.
How long?
Oopsie.
My mistake.
Sorry.
Try to trend with that one.
What were your alt?
What were your alt?
I think it's a great title.
But what were your alts?
do you guys when you do a special of some kind do you do title first or last i think about it the whole time and it's toward the end probably
unless i have a theme but i never have a whole running theme i've done three i had one good one and the other two were bad
some comics are so good at like the coolest freaking names and then some people are like cheeseburger
yeah but um or dandelion line i think
I honestly kind of panicked.
Oh, my first special, which was We Ride at Dawn.
I like that one.
Thank you.
At the very end, I had no title.
And I had a joke about guns,
about how women are the only people that legally should be able to have guns
because of the statistics.
It's just data and science, women in STEM.
And I just added, We Ride at Dawn in the middle of that joke
to make it make sense.
So that's just a little behind the...
No, that's.
That's kind of good because sometimes little ad lives.
I thought of one line in one of my jokes this weekend,
and I was like, ooh, I got to remember that.
And in the middle of my act, I remembered it for about five minutes,
but I'm still doing my act.
And then at the end, I go, no idea.
But I figured out later.
But you know what I mean?
Like, if you think of something you're throwing out there,
these comics that don't record and they just keep doing sets,
I go, what is the point?
You don't remember what you said.
And I have terrible memory.
Like, you know, some of these comics are geniuses?
Like, it's, you know me.
You know us.
I can tell.
I can just tell.
So you record every set.
Oh, but I don't record.
Oh.
No, I do.
I do record, but you know what it is?
Hard to listen back, right?
I think I just, yeah, I think I just, I plan on just doing the set so much that I say it's
like a story.
When you tell a funny story at a dinner table and you say something that works,
you're going to say it at the next dinner table.
because like that's the spot you like.
But for getting a tag that you came up with, which is always the best ones, is true.
I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
It's torture because.
While you're shooting the special, did you have regrets?
You got one while you shot, which is rare.
Oh, you mean like some of the crowdwork and stuff?
Well, you said rewrite it on and that was not a regular line.
Oh, yeah.
Well, like, it added kind of perfectly.
And doesn't the audience love when they're watching a special?
special and you finally say the title and just makes them feel warm and happy.
Well, can I just say from someone who loves movies,
we ride at dawn just makes me happy.
I think it's cool.
That's a good name for movies.
We ride at dawn says so much.
We ride at dawn.
What the fuck?
It's almost bad ass.
It's badass.
I wanted to like get people to feel something,
which you know,
that's what we do as artists.
And also we write at dawn.
I don't even know what that means.
like when is dawn when is dawn which just means it's a posse or a group of men in the 1880s going we ride a
dawn mean we're going to go kick that light we go kill everyone as that is it I think do you guys
wake up earlier now in your um more experienced ages oh I have at six every day I'm
yeah I have farmers hours I live on a farm and I get up at six every day to feed the pigs
and the cows and the horses and we just have horses
What time do you put yourself down at night?
That's a good title for a special.
What time do you put yourself down at night?
What sounds like a dog that's not doing too well?
We put them down.
No, I'm under, you know, I kind of 10, 10.30.
Sometimes if I'm really exhausted, I'd like to sleep nine hours if I could get it.
That's like a real like reset sleeping.
Are you like a three, five an hour person?
Oh, no.
I love sleep.
I don't think I would have made it as a comedian if I wasn't good at sleeping on planes,
sleeping on couches.
Oh, I can't do.
I sleep anywhere, sleep on the subway.
I take my bootleg propofol at night and just take a little and then the Michael Jackson juice.
Is that a peptide?
What is a propofol is a new sort of age.
What they do when they're giving you a surgery, they put you under.
He was in his eyes.
But Michael Jackson had that at home and I'm like, I didn't.
know you could have it at home. He's like, well, you can't. And he has a doctor do it. And then the doctor, like, took a phone call and came back. Michael was like, he's like, hey guy. It's great. We're talking about this right now. I really love it with Michael. The movie's going to a billion. So. There's a documentary coming out. Anyway, yes, David. Oh, I see. This one's for Hannah.
You see I get a question too
Go ahead
I have a question
I have a million questions
I told Dana I saw you at the Netflix
shit show brunch which was pretty fun
even though the brunch
I think lovely Ted
The Surrenters and his wife Nicole
had a great brunch
I didn't know pizza was the number one thing for brunch
But anyway
His notes
We served a lot of people
But I said to
Hannah, one of my hard-hitting questions, because you see everybody there.
You get up in people's faces a little bit.
Yeah, I get their grill.
And I said, Hannah, I wanted to do Giggly Squad when my movie came out.
And she goes, we don't have guests.
And literally one second later, Kate Hudson goes, I can't wait to be on your show tonight.
And I go like this.
Busted.
Do you want to think about your answers quickly for a second?
I'll step away.
I'll ask you again in an hour.
That was horrible timing.
That was bad timing.
I know. I saw a page behind you, like a, you know, that's Heather.
Heather's laughing on one of our producers.
They're obsessed with her.
Heather likes your show.
We actually, we don't do guests, but Netflix was like, we'll pay you to talk to guests on stage.
And I was like, is it David Spay in there?
I was going to pay you.
Okay.
You know, we're going to break into guests.
It's just you guys know, guests are the worst.
It's a hassle.
Well, how many?
How many episodes have you done?
Giggly?
We've been doing it since 2020.
Like, we're...
So like 380.
Kill that thing.
We just went to two episodes a week.
I love interviews, though.
Like, I love interviewing people.
I would dissect David Spade.
For sure.
I would make him question everything.
Deconstruct him and then reassembling in 45 minutes.
I get you to have that.
Yeah.
I would love to.
So if our guests could be like you, it would be easy.
Right.
Oh, stop.
Also, because you're laughing and you do a podcast.
It's not like.
Yeah, you know what's up.
Yeah, I just, podcasting is so, so fun.
And I do get a lot of material from podcasting with my best friend.
You guys know you start riffing next thing you know.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So it's kind of like crowdwork for me.
It does liquefy.
It keeps your brain like that.
So two a week is harder than twice as hard.
Wow.
But you know what?
I felt like we were holding back with one episode.
because but page and I we can't speak that much during the week because then we burn material right you can
yap though I watched one of them yeah there's no women do be yapping yeah I mean two times a week
for an hour age that's not too much for you guys no not at all and then we'll have some notes
but sometimes we don't even hit the note like we'll just start rambling and because we're so
different we'll always argue so bring any topic up and we'll have
No, there was a good vibe.
When I saw you were doing some hard-hitting subjects, like high heels.
Actually, I saw...
We did a whole episode on chess.com.
On what?
Chess.
Chess.com?
Are you familiar with Magnus Carlson?
It's, um...
Oh, they got it.
Oh, chess.
Yeah, I thought he said, chest.
I feel like male comedians would love the chess drama because it's like lonely men who
were like...
I'd like to talk to that guy.
That guy's a genius, right?
They're very smart.
Is he a grandmaster?
Battling their demons, his grandmaster, he accuses this young guy of cheating and no one knows
how he cheated.
And they think it's because he got a-
He put taps in his pants.
What did they do?
Dude, these fucking guys that are grandmas who get smoked by a kid, it's the best thing
in the world.
And they like slam the table.
But they thought he had, they thought he had anal beads in his butt and they were doing
Morse code to tell him.
And I said, that's genius.
At that point, let him win.
Well, that's crazy.
I've never heard of anything like that.
It's ridiculous.
Hang on, I got something coming through.
No, no, I've just never heard anything like that.
He's like, do it again.
I didn't feel that one.
I'm not cheating, you stupid idiot.
Put it on high.
Have you ever had sex with a chess grandmaster?
I mean, you don't have to answer that.
I've never met a chair.
I really, my husband's the first.
smart guy ever met.
How did you know he's smart when you meet and what was the vibe?
Oh my God.
Well, I, because I was a former athlete, I dealt with tennis nationally ranked for our audience.
Thank you.
I've dated, I've dated some like CTE men, but large, strong, sturdy.
Interesting.
And that'll, you could last a year easy in one of those relationships.
go on that for a while, sure.
You could ride that wave.
Well, you're the smart one, and you're kind of running the show.
Well, yeah, you're like, I'm just, I'm silly and, like, goofy.
But I don't, I'm not a caretaker type.
So when it came to, like, if they hurt their knee or, like, they lost a game,
I was like, you should call your mom.
Like, I don't.
The game.
Right.
Oh, God.
When they lost a game, it's like, what about when they retire and now you're full?
And he's like, let's start a TikTok.
And you're like, oh.
Yeah.
And then he, like, can't play with his own kids because his knees.
been redone eight times.
Yeah.
Tennis is really that brutal, I guess.
Yeah, at a high level.
Yeah, that got dark.
What are you more turned on a guy with a wall, a big wallet, you don't need money.
Intelligence or sense of humor.
What do you put?
It's crazy because I,
overlap.
I haven't dated since like being a comedian.
Like I've never been single on the comedian.
Oh, really?
Probably a blessing.
So I've never been out at the clubs, you know, getting DMs for men.
I didn't have a guy in different area codes.
Like I was just working on my art.
How's that margarita, by the way?
This is an ice coffee that kind of melted.
I honor that, man.
No, I want to ask you also about the goddamn brunch.
You have to make more fun of it.
I know.
No, we will.
But Des is older.
Des is older.
And he's traveled.
So like he knows about the 80s and I could ask him a lot of different questions about he
He reads stuff about the news so like I don't have to he's like I'm like what happened
What's going on overseas?
That's nice.
Yeah and he he's made a lot of his own life mistakes so that he's learned from that he can bring to me so that's value I think that's when you're like I'll keep this person around longer because they know things I don't know and I think
think that's been helpful.
Us old people are handy.
Interesting.
Have you ever called him daddy just casually?
I joked that he's Zaddy with a Z, which is.
Okay, because that combo.
Because Zaddy means like daddy, but like,
sexy, right?
Sexy.
David's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I think I've heard that terminology.
That was a little like two years ago.
It was Zaddy.
I just heard it.
But I argue for all the girls, I want them to date older guys.
That's why you guys brought me on to talk about this.
Like David was telling me exactly what to say.
He was like, say that older men are great to be in your life.
But they, the hard thing is you guys are smart.
So sometimes he wins arguments.
Oh.
Which I thought was illegal after a marriage.
Over a professional world class.
stand-up comedian. He can out. Well, this is the problem. That's pretty smart. He's also a stand-up
comedian. Oh, that's where I didn't think about it. And he's pre-trained. Like, he's seen a lot of
different angles these other women have done to him. So I'll do something and he's, he knows
terminologies. Oh, I know that old chestnut. I start crying. He's like, stop with the fake tears. And I'm like,
This guy's good.
This guy's good.
He knows you better than you know yourself.
Easily tricked young guys.
Young guys.
Yeah, young guys, you just suddenly have to be like,
and they'll be like, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
That's not sex.
Stupid idiots.
Also, young guys, you give them a little kiss.
They're like all happy again.
Older guys, they've seen too much already.
They're like, don't get your tits out of my face.
I've seen too much.
Get your tits out of my face.
This isn't over.
Yeah.
So there's pros and cons of a smart man.
Yeah.
Interesting.
I like everything I'm hearing.
But yeah, the brunch was fun.
Was it?
David, do you get sick?
Do you get sick of seeing all your comedy friends in one place ever?
Or is it joyful for you?
No, I think for you, it might be more fun because you guys were outliers because you're not there all the time.
Yeah.
But you were doing a Netflix thing.
Because the funny thing was, you're with all your comedy friends.
I get on that little stand to take that picture,
and I'm next to my two favorite comedians,
the cast of the hunting wives.
I'm like, well, where's the house?
No, I was, I actually liked those girls.
They're very sweet, you know.
Listen, if you're getting invited and you're on Netflix,
it's not my party.
They're just putting a conglomeration of people.
And everyone was, it's fun to see everyone in person,
a little bright for people to see me, but it was fine.

I like when Theo always says something funny.
So you were standing around there when Kate Hudson was there.
And she goes, hey, I want to, she goes, is that guy on a podcast?
And I go, yeah.
I go, say hi to him.
And she goes, okay.
So I go, Theo, come here.
He stands there like he's three years old.
Hey, how are you doing?
And she goes, yeah.
And he goes, you're wearing a long sleeve black shirt?
Because it was a day and it was a tent.
It was just tinted, but not like with doors and everything.
It was just like an airy tent like a circus.
And then you could walk in and out, you know, breeze around.
And he goes, it's really hot outside.
But it's nicer under the tent, but there's no signs.
To say that it's nicer under the tent.
tent. So he goes, I was down there for so long. But there's no sign. And she goes, oh, yeah, well, maybe
they should have something. They don't stand in the faking fucking son. Was there a pecking order?
I might think would be like there'd be like the cool group and then the super cool group.
It was very high school. Like there's the super seniors that are like saying how to the
letterman, Chappelle and Eddie Murphy. Yeah. Yeah. Was Shane there?
Shane was not there.
I guess he was prepping.
Oh, no, you know, he was touring, I think.
He was like in Boston.
He was playing North Dakota.
You know, to put a stage in the middle of the state.
The Midwest, he was playing.
He was playing the Greater Midwest.
The Grand Canyon.
When we interviewed Shane on this podcast, he was sort of this S&L thing that just happened.
Oh, wow.
He was like, yeah, I'm playing clubs.
They're talking about a theater maybe.
or so.
Skyrocketing.
I actually,
I met Shane back in the day
when he was like opening for people
and I was just sitting in a green room
with him and he was like,
if I could just get a Comedy Central
scripted show off the ground,
that would be my dream.
And it was beautiful.
We can make it happen.
Well, Dave,
you have a Shane story where he's even before that?
He was working at AutoZone.
If I could even go to a comedy club,
I mean, pay so much money.
Shane, you're going to be big.
No, when I met Shane, he already had a money gun like A's that rock.
He goes, no, I don't see him that much.
I do like Shane.
I think he's funny.
What about all the drama with a roast?
Oh, I know.
I didn't go.
I am.
Did Paige say she went?
No, Paige wouldn't go anywhere without me.
Okay.
So.
I like that.
I guys are really friends.
It's not just for the podcast.
It's not a fake friendship.
Yeah, because I heard you guys blabbing about it, and it was like, she said it was too long.
And I was like, people don't know.
When you see a roast normally, there's some fat trim now.
So they help you a little bit.
They're like, get rid of that one.
Get rid of that.
But she like when she goes, the rock was on forever.
He saw it.
No.
I feel he got drunk.
He was Lucy.
That's right.
He gave a long like a wedding speech.
He did.
did have my favorite one of my favorite lines when he said what do you say he said tony was a sassy bigot
a sassy that's god there was Dana there was some fucking shrapnel flying right and left
crazy it was like do you think they need to do it live like i feel like people would still watch it
two hours condensed protected i think netflix is on a live kick because the best ratings on network
Chris Rock's special.
Was all football, all these things.
So, you know, 18 out of the top 20 shows in the year of football games and Monday night.
So they go, what's live?
What can we make live?
Chris Rock, do him live.
You know, just try things, have the guy climbing the skyscraper live.
There's something about it.
Like, we have to watch it now.
And so the roast is good live.
I think they'll keep it live.
But maybe it's better you see all the bumps and bruises because there's some dead spots.
There's some shit where you're like, wait, am I supposed to walk up now?
And, you know, they would take that out later.
It's like a podcast.
People are doing the dishes.
Oh, he's on.
You know, I mean, it's like a background noise.
They just want to hear a little racism in the background.
Would you ever do live stand up on Netflix?
The money's good.
I'm so scared regularly.
Rock said it was so scary.
And he doesn't get that scared.
And he's never been scared to anyone.
I don't think he would do it again.
He was scared when he was growing up.
but he think he's cooler now.
He had that set down.
I think he did, he did well.
He just, one of the things, I love to leave before, like, right when I hit my hot spot,
I'm like, got to go.
Like, I guess that's how I am in social situations.
That's how I'll be on this podcast.
It's already too long.
Right.
Always leave before your peak.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Leave him wanting more.
So what about, Chris, how do you relate to that?
That's what you just said.
Do you think he landed it perfectly?
I mean, through the mic.
over his head, right?
Yeah, you said he got off.
He should have got off sooner.
Oh, the rock?
No, Chris.
Oh, oh, Chris.
Oh, you're talking about the rock.
Oh, yeah, the rock.
We got, we, yeah.
Let's start over it.
But this is.
I've got a Rock Hudson junk that I do.
I do a Rock Hudson impression.
And I also could do Rocky.
No Rocky.
That's the first time we've gone seven minutes on a podcast talking about rock.
And it was the wrong person.
Not Chris Rock.
It was the rock
And we actually were agreeing
for a very long time
And well no they match
They match pretty good
Oh you said is the rock scared of anyone
And I was like Chris Rock
That's what I was like
Well you were talking about Chris Rock the special
And then and then Hannah brought in rock
At the thing
Yeah
It was a disaster
It was a podcasting peak
That was yeah
We're gonna keep this
We're not going to edit.
So would you ever be roasted if they were going to pay you seven figures?
Well, actually, I'm not like a roast comic.
Like, even when I was doing the clubs all the time,
like I judge a roast battle every now and then,
but I never did it.
I did that one thing for Netflix where I did like roasting the year with Jeff Ross,
which they gave us like five days to like come up a material.
and it was like very fun.
I don't think, I like attention.
So I don't think there's anything people would say that I would be like.
You go, I can't say no right now because I do love to.
No, but I mean, like, I was even talking to Chelsea before it, and she's like, they're going to call me a whore.
And I'm like, a whore is so like 2000s.
Yeah.
Oh, that's what you guys are talking about.
I like that angle, like trying to guess what they're going to say.
She was like, I don't call me a whore.
And I was like, do better.
And then like that she's old and it's like she looks fucking hot.
She did look great.
She looked great.
I have to say.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Well, I'm just curious about you in life.
Like I had the need to please disease for a long time.
Then I had five years of therapy.
And so how are you in life?
Like because when you're watching these rows, you see actual hurt.
You see pain.
You know, because the idea is like is this how the world perceives.
me. Is this the way they think
about me? Not all the time. You can see
their good sports. Kevin Hart's got so much
muscle memory around this. I think he is
literally impenetrable. You'll
see, is this the way,
what's the cruelest thing they could
say about me? So how are you?
As a New Yorker, I'm originally
from Brooklyn, New York. Our
language is
just shitting on each other.
Just like, I
walk down. Like an example?
My dad, it roasts me
nonstop and he's my best friend.
Hey, more.
No, no, I'll put red lipstick on.
He's like, you look like a fucking clown.
And I'm like, it's beautiful to be seen by my father, you know?
But that's how we show love.
We make fun of each other.
So like making fun, like if, if I met David at the brunch and he was like, hey, how are
you?
I'd be like, he fucking hates me.
But we're making fun of each other and I'm like, love that guy.
So.
Yeah, right.
But my, um, they would make fun of me for being on reality TV.
they'd make fun of me for being a woman in comedy.
They'd make fun of me for, I mean, that having an older husband,
and nothing that I haven't heard.
I've survived reality TV internet.
Yeah.
You've survived those whispers in the microphone when they go back and look at the tapes.
They're like, these two.
I've done the, you go on stage, all the male comics leave because the girl's on stage.
Like, that's the most painful.
Like
Oh my God
What come you close that?
You go on state
Like there's like a good show on and like every comic's on and everyone's hanging by the you know
Yeah
Wherever watching and then you go up and everyone's gone.
I'm like what the fuck?
Where do you go on to do sets?
Where do you practice?
So I came up at the stand like I really lived at the stand
During COVID we were like on the sidewalk.
There'd be like a full family children and I'd be.
be just talking about, you know, my pussy and seeing as we do.
We do.
You know how it is.
But just saying crazy shit and then and you just see like a dog going by just looking
at you, just disappointed in you.
But I think like that really got me, kept me sane too, because I had come from reality TV
and I was like, I just want to be myself and be on stage and off the internet and just like
feeling alive. And as a former tennis player, stand-up was very similar to me than tennis.
Like, you're alone out there. You're battling your demons. And I just got obsessed with it.
So how, I was just curious because you're on the reality show and then you become the same.
How long did it take you? Or was it, were you doing it all along or?
Why did you leave the reality show? How did you get really good at this?
All great questions.
All right. So I was.
Thank you, Hannah.
In 2017, I started working for this company called Betches where they make funny memes.
So I was the one writing funny tweets.
I was writing sketches.
So it was like a joke writing boot camp, but I never wanted to be a stand-up comedian.
I love stand-up comedy, but I just didn't see that for me.
But I met a lot of New York stand-ups because I would put them in my like sketches and stuff.
And then I started.
And my what?
What is Vox?
Oh, that was, that was, I had a sales job, co-calling sales before that.
Oh, I'm sorry.
It says part of Betches, it says her vox pop comedy.
Oh, I've no, that sounds like an interview series.
There maybe, who knows?
I don't know.
I have, I have Vox Pop.
I got it treated.
I have to legally tell you.
It's a pill.
It's a pill or two, pill and a half.
Okay, go ahead.
I slowed you down.
So back to how you've been.
So I'm posting sketches online and whatever, and I never considered stand-up.
And then I get asked to do a reality TV show.
And I'm like, fuck it, I'm 26.
I'm single.
I didn't think I'm a fit for reality TV, but whatever.
I like attention.
I wanted to be on camera, which is embarrassing.
You know, when you admit to yourself, you want to be on camera?
I think we all are embarrassing, but yes.
Yes.
So then I started.
podcasting pretty early. I had my own like mental health comedy pod. And my first live show was at
Carolines in New York City. And it was a sold out show because I had just started the reality TV show.
And my friend, this was really fucked up. I had a, I had a bunch of friends in standup who were like,
we think you have the chops. You're writing jokes all the time. Try, we dare you to try some standup
at the top of your show, which any stand up would say is you shouldn't do.
But I basically took all my tweets and stuff and I'm like, that's a premise, that's a punchline.
And I put them in sections.
And I love writing.
And I thought I was going to bomb.
I also had a lot of anxiety when I was a tennis player with performance.
Like whenever I could fold or like a cheap beach chair, I would.
So I was like, oh, no, I'm putting myself up again to fucking embarrass myself.
But I swear to God, I got on stage.
And I felt weirdly calm.
And after the show, everyone was like the stand-up in the beginning was our favorite part.
And then I had a bunch of people stand-ups be like,
if you want to do this the right way, you got to get up four times a night.
And I kind of just put my head down and did that.
And I got fired from the reality TV show.
So that was a beautiful coincidence to then be like.
Who dropped the hammer on you?
Did somebody fire you on there?
It was more like you have to get along with the first.
friend group.
Oh, you're nice.
So you didn't play well with others?
They were like, we don't want you here anymore.
And I was like, okay, fuck you guys.
But the comedians in my life kept me sane because I would tell them all the crazy stuff
that happens on reality TV, like all the editing and the Franken bites and what
they're cutting out.
And my comedy friends thought it was so funny.
So instead of like offing myself because I was having a horror of a time on reality TV,
my stand-up comedy friends were like, that's.
That's hilarious.
Use that on stage.
And it was kind of like a therapeutic thing to fall into stand-up.
Well, did Summerhouse, that was the call, right?
So you're kind of, when you go up the first time, I just wanted to get to the audience
kind of know you and also you had a podcast.
So you weren't just a waitress who went on stage.
No, no, no.
But I was at a point, though, where when I ended my reality TV careers, three years,
Two amazing, beautiful years, one bad year.
When I went on stage, I felt like people hated me.
Like I felt like I had a bad scent on me.
And I feel like as a comedian, people have to trust you.
You have to be likable.
Like, that's the number one part.
So going on stage, I had to overcome, like, these people think I'm a type of way.
And I have to show, like, I'd rather you just be like, oh, I don't like Hannah for Hannah.
then I don't like her for this scene that isn't how it actually happened.
Oh, also, most people walk up and there's a blank slate.
Like, you have to win them over one way.
They just see you.
There's no preconceived notions.
So you're going in sort of at a deficit, like I think they don't like me already.
Yes, but I also was so fortunate that I could sell tickets.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I wasn't selling out clubs, but I was selling enough to go on the road.
So I had someone tell me like, look, you'll be able to sell the tickets the first time.
But if it's not good, they're not going to come back.
So I kind of had this like, this is your chance.
But I'm a creative person and I just, I was like, thank God I'm not doing reality TV anymore.
And I want to write my own stuff and be a performer and bring people joy, you know.
So it ended up pretty quickly like four years, five years into.
stand up was my first Netflix special. God, it's a lot of pressure to go up because a lot of you
have to build an audience and they get to get better while they do it. But you have the crowd there.
It's almost like harder to say, why aren't you this good like a professional headline?
You're like, I just started. And they also have to do lots of time probably.
Well, I say that I had to do an hour very early. So even when I said, oh, I'm two years into
comedy. I've been doing an hour the whole time. So I, I, I, I say that I had to do an hour the whole time.
So while doing sets in between, but I feel like I had so much stage time.
And when I first started, I actually started with, I joked that I had 45 minutes and I
get offstage and they're like, you did 33 minutes in a Q&A.
Like I was fighting for my life.
Yeah, for sure.
But then you like get one good story and next thing you're 40.
And I have a lot of friends who were like, I'm not ready for an hour.
I'm not ready for an hour.
And I kind of just went about it in my own way.
I think if I went the traditional way, I wouldn't be where I am today because I'd still be like working on my.
I mean, when I got JFL new faces, I never had had a tight five.
I had to reverse engineer what my type five would be because I started with 15 at the clubs.
Did you?
I love your resume and how you got into it.
I just wondered when in those five years, did you have times when you're like, something happened on state?
and it was epiphanal like, this is my lane or this is winding down.
This is what I do.
This is what I'm best at.
You know, because David had that, you know, because he was right out of eighth grade when he got started.
Remember, David, the owner of the club said to David, the throwaways between the lines, there's your sweet spot.
Right, David?
He said my first time, he said, I go, how was I?
It was only amateur night.
He did like three minutes, but he goes, it was all right.
That material wasn't that great.
He goes, actually, what you were saying between was funnier.
And he walked away and I was like, then I listened to it.
And I was like, I was saying stuff in between commenting.
And that sort of was my whole thing.
Because that was your authentic self.
Yeah.
And you are doing something you like with comedy versus a reality show,
which you're not really doing anything.
You're just like physically there.
But in front of the camera, you're getting used to pressure and performance.
They would like, hate it.
They would feel, yeah. Well, I think it was so great for my career. No, for sure. Like, now I'm so, my ego has been broken so many times that now, like, and now I know when to speak, when not to speak. Like, when I was on reality TV, I was just like, I'm just going to say my truth. And now I'm like, this is not. You have to protect yourself and protect your family. At all times. I've made so many mistakes when I was young. So now that I'm like really into stand up, I feel smarter.
But yeah, it was, I did get, I have to give credit to my husband who's, he's a big standup in Ireland.
His whole career was in Ireland.
Oh, really?
Oh, that's great to hear.
Yeah.
So he's like experienced a lot.
He was the one who when I got my first Netflix special offer, he was like, yeah, no, you need a tour for eight more months.
And if he wasn't there, I would have just been like, okay, let's film it.
And he also told me, because I just wanted to kill.
and I'm a perfectionist kind of.
So I'd go on stage and I just like hit it every time.
And he was like, give yourself permission to get lost on stage.
Like not know where you are.
Like what was said to you, like the magic is when you're trying to figure it out.
And he's like, you're not going to get better unless you're loose.
And that's where I kind of started to get more into like the crowdwork,
which I think kind of gave me a little bit of my voice because I feel like I talked to people.
like they're my friend.
Like I'm not just like,
and guy in the front with their shirt.
Like I actually try to like understand them.
And doing the clubs,
it's so fun to talk to the audience,
especially when you're sick of your material.
So I think crowd work was also where I was able to obviously do clips and stuff,
but where I was able to find my perspective.
Yeah, because I think sometimes with specials,
if you don't have multiple times shooting it,
if it's just one shot,
you don't give yourself permission to be playful because this is your only time.
I feel like you're doing an outline.
But I do think being alive in the frame on stage, they can tell if you're alive.
You're still got your act, but there's these little throwaways.
You go to someone.
That all does.
So would your husband be willing to watch my stand up and just sit me down for a little advice?
He would love to.
And he can talk and help you with other things if you want, if you're having trouble with any fights.
Your whole life.
anymore. That was great advice. Yeah. Because yeah, he's like my little Russian gymnastics coach.
But I also think my second special though, obviously like I'm a better stand-up, but I was just
sillier. Like when you're more confident, you're just like, yeah, I could do this voice,
but what if I really did that voice and leaned in and committed to it? So I think that's my comedy's
just gotten like even looser. You just get a little. That's the best place to be where you're just
not thinking up there at all. And you're just going totally by instinct at moments and hitting
things really hard or really trying to entertain yourself a little bit. Yeah. And then it's funny how
sometimes when you like go less, it's funnier with a voice. Like if you say it really softly. So
I've just been having so much fun on tour just playing more. And because I am like an energy comic.
I'm not like just doing like genius one liners and being like sit with that slick one. Like
Let me sit.
Figure that one now.
That's a thinker.
I'm like, carry the one.
Let me know for that.
Yeah, mine aren't all thinkers.
They're stinkers.
When you have a podcast, it does well.
Like Dana and I sometimes go out together,
but Dana does fine in his own.
But sometimes it's fun.
Well, we both go out on our own also.
You know what I mean?
But we also could go out together.
So do you do a podcast
tour and then you do like a regular tour or something yeah so i do not do that with a podcast i did
my stand-up tour for my first special and then page and i went on the road for a giggly squad tour which was
bonkers we did like a powerpoint which by the way powerpoints are hilarious i highly
recommend especially if you're forgetful and when you just go to the next slide it can hit so hard
highly oh it just gets a big laugh good whatever you know oh that's funny yeah it's a little bit of work up front
But yeah, you could do it.
Once you said, that's great.
Gen Z intern, get in there to put some stuff together.
Is she okay on the road?
That's a tough.
Oh, my God.
It's tough.
You, okay.
So Paige, I'm a little sturdier.
Page is a dainty, classy angel.
She, like, gets carried places.
Like, I put her on my back.
Like, when I'm with her, I'm her boyfriend.
I'm putting her luggage away.
And she was, like, so excited about all the outfits and stuff.
But we were worked like,
We would have two shows a night, four in a row, four cities.
And she started like actually having like panic attacks.
Sure.
It's fucking tough.
And we were in Denver.
There was no air.
And she was like trying to put on a corset.
And she just like started crying.
And we were like, there's 3,000 girls waiting.
And I was like, hey, can I talk to you for a second?
Are you ready?
And we like had to, I basically kicked her onto the stage.
And I was like, the adrenaline will hit get the fuck out there.
We got her some beta blockers.
But she was having other stuff going on.
I think Tor, if you're stressed about other things,
Tor will just take it to the next level.
But we finished tour and she's like, I can't wait to do that again.
Oh, if you like that.
I mean, at least you're sitting in one city with the day-to-day flying is also what gets
you like pack go pack get up pack go and your body like i'm not working out i'm not eating healthy
and then you look in the mirror and i just tell myself i'm bloated from the flights but it's not that
it's not that and we have to wear dresses oh yeah you do oh i have a question for you about stand-up
when you do a special do you think the female comics are more pressure to really glam up because
you look great in your special but thank you we were saying like
like Dan was like Joan Rivers and Phyllis Dillard.
Tote Fields, Phyllis Diller.
Yeah, there's not every one is, you know, this, it's kind of newish of being.
Like a guy could get away with a hoodie.
Yeah.
I always say I love these guys that just dress like school shooters get on stage.
I mean, Shane, love of my life did MSG with like his hair was just straight up.
Like he just went up to a net.
Yeah.
And that's a full arena.
Like they can see the more adorable.
And it was adorable, yeah.
I think it does suck that I have to do all this glam
where I'm like the boys don't have to do that.
But the girls get into it.
Like I did like a custom outfit from this brand, Fleur de Mall, it's French.
And then I had fake hair.
Yeah, I saw the trailer.
Yeah.
Fake hair.
There's more opportunities for that stuff.
Well, I hate to say it because I've always been very like,
I love comedy because just.
just about being funny, but then like the better you look, the more stuff you're getting.
And I got a spray tan. I had full glam. I had a corset. I kept ripping. They're sewing it back.
It's all this chaos in addition to being like, and now be fucking hilarious.
Yeah. Which I don't love because I'm an athlete. Like I go when I would go compete,
I didn't have to worry about if my hair was in the right position. I'm like, let's just play.
You can be a tomboy. Yeah, you can be a little bit of tomboy comedian too.
but I go out with Nikki Glazer a lot
and she always looks great
we just did Caesars this weekend
I'm like she looks so good
I did have a hoodie on the first night
and we were laughing like it's the same exact shit
but I'm so adorable that it's
it's hard to explain I'll tell you guys after
I have like a working on material outfit
like you know when you're wearing a new stuff
that's when you come in with the hoodie
I'm working on some stuff don't expect too much
Huddly with your notes.
I just woke up, I forgot everything.
Here's some notes.
I didn't start dressing up really until I started doing theaters,
and I felt like I was just, like, respectful.
Yeah, I feel it.
Well, I have to say, the bit that you land in the trailer was enhanced by your look,
the twerking bit, you know, and you're just, because the outfit was flaring out
and the way you were moving.
It was very, really funny.
I mean, thank you.
I mean, you are a performer, but some guys would look weird if they were in a suit.
and that's not their vibe.
Yeah.
Melania is a suit.
Seinfeld is a suit.
You know, it works for them.
I'm somewhere in the middle.
I'm not full hoodie.
I rarely wear them.
But it was funny.
I was thinking,
who's doing this?
Tim Dillon?
Like, why am I falling apart like this?
And I blame Tim.
I blame Shane.
I'm like, I try to be like, well,
I'm going to a nice dinner.
Because they pay money.
There's something weird about that.
You go, I should show.
You're all showing up to the same event.
My girls get dressed up for my like theater shows.
Oh, that's nice.
It is actually.
I, after COVID, I kind of stopped because I was too intense.
But I getting COVID.
He kept getting COVID.
And I started COVID from my door.
But a lot of the girls, they really do look like me who come to my show.
So it's funny because when I try to go in the back of the stage door,
security's like, man, this is the stage door.
and I dress in a tie for my tour.
I dress in a tie because that's like my outfit for this tour.
I can't come up with new outfits.
I'm like, this is my uniform.
And all the girls show up in ties.
So all of us look the same.
So security's like, you can't come in.
And I'm like, that's me.
And he's like, you look like her.
Maybe like 10 times on tour.
Security's been like, Miss, you can't go in there.
Yeah.
Miss, that's for the star.
Yeah, literally.
Hey y'all, it's Kelly Clarkson with Wayfair.
Ever order furniture online and wonder what if?
Like, what if it doesn't hold up?
That sofa was four days old.
You should have ordered from Wayfair.
With Wayfair, there's no what if.
Just style you love and quality you can trust.
Visit Wayfair.com.
Wayfair, every style, every home.
Do you have a nickname for your fans?
Are they called Hannah's?
Or is there a funny kind of...
They're the Gingers.
Oh, the Gigglers.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
Now, where do Giggly Squad come up with?
Do you ever go like this on stage?
Where are my Gigglers?
Where are my gigglers at?
I tell all my openers, if there's ever low energy, just say gigglers,
and they'll fucking lose their mind, like, just the people are.
And also they're, like, you see them at the airport, and they'll just be like,
I'm a giggler and walk by.
It's like a weird Illuminati.
I'm going to say it.
My act to get laughs.
Weird.
Yes, it could work.
It could work.
Our title's too long for that, people at the airport.
I'm a fly on the wall.
They call them frequent flyers.
Fly on the waller?
Very cute.
There's not that many of them.
David, you know you'll go up there and go, where's my flies?
And it's like one guy.
I don't think I've ever said.
My flies at.
Where's my flies?
No, I said, no walkouts.
I like zezza, zza, zah.
For my zoop.
Let me hear you.
Where's my?
Where's my?
I'm going to use that.
We're our fans that land and stuff and rub their hands and poop.
Yeah, yes. I actually was on a flight with Nikki Glazer last night.
Shut it. What? And I said, I'm talking to your man tomorrow. What should I say?
We're the AMAs. Yes, Nikki and I. What'd she say? What she said?
What's the word on the street?
Nikki and I were just, we were gossiping. She was like, oh, he's the sweetest. Oh, see?
And I was like, whatever. She, yeah, it was, if I had enough time, would have.
gotten something out of her. But she's the best. She's been inspiring me since day one. She
brought me around the cellar back in the day when I was like a baby. I was like,
how do you remember all your jokes? And she was answering my questions. She's good at it. She can
remember. She's like, I'm working stuff. It literally does not look down at her notes.
She talks so fast. Yes. And I'm like, fuck, there's a hundred jokes in every minute.
Fuck, I go, this is your rough thrown together. Shit, I'm back there like this.
She's a ball or and it's hard.
She's too smart.
Yeah, she is good, but she just keeps.
She's a grinder, though.
Where are you?
Go ahead.
No, you know, Dan.
Non-Sept.
Well, I'm just curious about, like, you know, we all have this 10-year-old person inside
of us where, oh, you see, you know, I used to see Rob Williams ago, I better get better.
I got to be, you know, I got to be as good as him.
Sure.
So we have that.
But then, like, so Nikki's not like, she can override.
it and not try to sabotage you.
I don't know if you're running into old, you know, she's like, she's actually being nice.
Like this woman clearly is no threat.
I'm not kidding.
No, Nikki and I have a very, we have a long backstory, Nikki and I, and it's, we love each other a lot.
Yeah.
That's good.
Yeah.
Well, sometimes you're back.
Also, I'm a brunette.
She's a blonde.
So that helps with the lack of confidence.
No.
No beef.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh,
Dana.
Like they could put us on a lineup together
and it's okay.
Yeah.
But someone in show business
climbs the ladder
and you go in the green room
there's just a little bit of energy
like you're a fake.
Oh, she's famous now.
You know what I mean?
When I was coming up,
Nikki's always been famous to me.
Yeah.
Like I...
Okay.
Because they're reason.
When I met her,
I was like,
I'm obsessed with you.
You're incredible.
You're everything.
I feel like everyone else
was late to catch on.
just now she's like friends with like Leonardo DiCaprio and stuff.
Yeah.
But I feel like when you meet someone before they pop, you always have like a soft spot for each other,
even though she's been famous.
But even like with Shane, I'm always like, I know who you are.
I know.
I remember you.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, you guys, fame energy is is weird.
It's weird.
It is weird.
And you guys deal with famous people nonstop in Hollywood.
With friends, like friends who knew you in high.
school or your family, it starts to tilt things in a way, like if someone's making a fuss
around you, you know, all that stuff. I mean, it's not first world problems, you know,
but you know what I mean.
No, just a weird psychology.
You go to sports bar in Arizona and I go, hey, can I sit here?
They go, hey, whatever King Tut needs, clear it away.
Well, I'm just getting some potato skins. It's not that big idea.
All hail, Caesar.
But it is funny, like what people literally.
change after like completely different person.
I'm like, oh, you've been through the, it's like they get a transformation,
emotionally, physically to carry themselves differently.
Everything.
I think this is how I do, how I think of what happens in that process.
It's like, oh, I'm funny.
Oh, I'm making money is funny.
I'm really funny.
I'm funny.
I'm super funny.
I'm, oh, wait, I'm important.
Oh, that's bad.
That's bad.
I'm a man in a nutshell.
This is what he says in his mirror every morning.
Yeah.
He has it on a post-it.
You is good.
You is important.
You is good.
You to man.
You to shit.
Yeah.
You dad, man.
Wherever the shit goes to hide, you that shit.
Hate is be hate it.
And love us be loving.
I have another question for Hannah before you.
you might do a show with Amy Polar at you two bozos together and weird you've any
alert I'm getting a I don't recognize the number that's Tucson for sure that's the area code I'm
I know well I think I know it might be but I'm not going to answer it you are you sure you don't want to
expose them on the pod right now who's calling you from rehab no I there's a good one in Tucson I think
They're apologizing for something.
They're on a stab.
Oh, yeah, they got to say sorry.
Yeah.
I'm not sure I know.
Wait, do you have any advice for working professionally with Amy?
No, Amy's lovely.
I don't know her as well as probably Dana, but she's great smart.
What do we get to Amy?
I was looking at the phone.
Amy Poller is producing her Netflix.
Oh, Amy Polar.
She's.
Would it be a sitcom?
Would it be a reality show?
What would it be?
So it's a scripted comedy right now that we're still trying to crack.
But like a single camera?
You don't know yet?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because it's, people know Paige and I from a reality show,
so we have to be kind of smart with it where it's not too different,
but also not too similar because then it's like just do a curbed type thing.
So we're figuring.
Very hard to do those shows.
And not saying you couldn't do it, I'm saying when people say curb or I've even caught
myself going, oh, I'd like to do something like that, at least I even know how fucking hard it is
because we were around for Larry Sanders show, which is fucking great.
Yes, yes.
And how hard.
We'd been on it a little bit, but we knew Shandling.
And he was like going insane how hard it was.
Yeah.
But it comes out great.
Yeah, but it looks so easy and effortlessly.
Oh, they just fucking had a little banter.
I could do that.
And it's, yeah, I know.
It's hard.
Sometimes it's this, you know, with Larry David, it's, it feels like, you know, like a stand-up observation,
just about awkwardness or the puffy pants or whatever it was, you know, just those little observations.
And then he just, the main thing he said to us is no, the only rule on the set is no one tries to be funny.
No one thinks they're being funny.
That's the way.
No, no one was performative.
They started trying to be funny.
It just had to be thrown away.
Or auditions when people be funny, they go, that's enough.
Get out of here.
Because the hyperbolic, you know, they like throwaways.
They like, I know every read, they're like, we want this grounded.
Yeah.
It keeps after 10 times.
They go, get out of here.
Like, you don't know what that means.
But that's why I guess the show is fun because you're watching comedians in their, like, day-to-day.
Being very small.
Yeah, like what it's like if they were just ordering coffee, how they'd act.
And that's fascinating, actually.
But a lot of these comics can't turn off.
Yeah, true.
Well, I don't know how you two are together, but also another thing is sometimes on Larry David, they didn't, weren't sure they were doing a take.
You know, the cameras, they got both cameras on.
And they're kind of kidding.
They don't, you can see they're sort of breaking, but is the character breaking or is they breaking?
So I don't, you know, there's also, it's capturing that, that.
Yeah.
I also, this is my first, I'm like getting into acting for the first time.
And I've never, I've had like a couple things, but I'm just going to see if I enjoy it.
I think I like it.
Do you guys like acting as opposed to stand up?
Well, there's two kinds of acting.
There's acting where some asshole director's controlling you and you sign a first group,
you don't truly believe in.
Or you're one of the exact your producers
and your boss,
quote, is Amy Polar.
He's really smart and knows it.
And it'll probably be a blast.
If everyone's on the same sensibility vibe
and you know that you're getting what you want,
so.
Yeah.
You're already 90% there.
You know,
like you know you have instincts
from doing stand-up
and you know what works and what doesn't
and then you're on a reality show.
You just know things that not everyone knows
and then just figure out whatever you guys think.
And don't say is you have a tiny whisper.
be joker and one time in grownups. Oh my God, a few people remember. And we were doing, I remember.
I remember. And we had to do one thing where Adam goes, come out of the closet. And he goes,
and he goes, what would you have on you or something? We're like, how about some arrows from
arrow roulette, let's say, with some leaves on him? And he's like, yeah, okay. Hey, let's get some arrows.
And the props guy goes, we don't have him. He goes, you don't have him in the truck or whatever it was.
He goes, no. And he goes, where do we get him? And he goes, well, we'd have to, we're in Gloucester. We'd have drive to Boston. It's like an hour. He goes, okay. And you're like, so the guy took off. And so here's going to be minimum two hours. We're going, but then you're going, but jokes are so important in movies that you go, if this is a wispy joke, but it says even a chance, we have to take it because when you're in a screening watching it, you are dying going, where's another joke? Where's another joke? They're starting to get bored.
So it's funny.
See all the lights and all this and you're like, hey, what if we tried this?
They go, oh, we'd have to reset the camera.
And someone like Adam goes, yeah, do it.
It's too important.
If this throwaway look we didn't have before, we need it.
And you don't know what that little thing is.
Right.
You don't know what the funniest part of that scene will be.
And you go, the cutaway was the funniest part.
Or you get the arrows and everyone's like, actually, no.
Right.
I mean, he would.
Yeah.
There's another store, two hours.
away that has marbles.
We did so fun. Oh, we wanted the other
arrows. Yeah.
Welcome.
Oh, do you say water? Let me go back.
Look, I never had this experience, but if you
are in a situation where it's
found moments, I mean, like they would
put the camera Adam McKay on Will Ferrell.
They had the scene. They had the bullet things
they needed or any physical comedy.
And then it's just like what your
husband said to you about being on stage.
So don't act. Don't try to act.
Just when the camera's rolling, you
get to be very playful and hopefully it'll become clear like, okay, that's the one because
there's a magic to you in your eyes doing it for the first time, discovering. You do have to do
Pimp numbers. You have to let's go over there. There is dialogue you have to have. But in those
moments, if you know right in that moment, you're actually just thinking this and then it comes out,
that's where the magic is. Or you get someone with a different line they were ready for.
Hard to replicate.
something different and you don't tell them. And then they react, whatever they would react. And then
you go, okay, let's move on. But you go, well, we have it. And in editing, they're going to go,
it was better the way it was. Or now and then they go, that one was better. Have you thought of everything
we just said to you? I literally, I'm taking notes. This is so, well, it's nice to hear you guys
being like, you can do that. Because like, I could just see myself trying to make page laughed off
script. I mean, Amy's going to be like, can you not do that every line? But that's so fun,
and that's what comedy's about. Yeah, it's all about just this. And you can tell it when you
watch a show, you don't want to get too locked in. I'd say have fun and don't try to ever act.
Her job will be get people around you that are good. Everyone from the editors are very important
to keep on the set, the director. So I have a lot of faith in it. Well, Amy Poehler has been,
she's great in film. She's great as sketch. I mean, so lean on Amy. Yeah, it's going to be a real
teaching moment for me. It's something to do. It's great. I think it sounds like a blast. You've got a
superstar podcast you're doing this show. I mean, I don't I don't see any chinks in the alma,
to be honest, Anna. I've got your giggly zombies in the airport. Well, you guys are gigglers now.
Yeah. We are. What's your net worth right now? Net worth. I have a bunch of metro cards.
Okay. Yeah, Metro cards. I'm doing math in my head. Okay. You're doing pretty good. And they're worth a lot
because they don't use Metro cards anymore. No, they just hop.
What people say is I got a few beans in my jeans.
I got a couple beans of my jeans.
That's all you say.
Hey, you look like a fucking clown.
I'm doing an impression of your dad.
You look like a fucking clown.
I love you, but you're going to the fucking circus?
What do you do with this on your fucking lipstick?
I can't wait to call my dad and tell him Dana Carvey has a whole voice for him.
What's his name?
Dan.
Dan.
Hey, you can call me Dan.
You can call me Stan.
I don't give a fucking.
But get that fucking lipstick.
Go, Nick.
Oh, go Knicks.
Nix and four.
Oh, is he.
Hey, Nix are, this is their best season in 27 years.
Let me get gasoline so I can burn the city down when they win.
Yeah, well, hey, well, my Nix win, I win.
If they lose, fuck them.
9-11 was nothing.
Is that what he said?
Why isn't 9-11 ready for it?
We don't have to look into this.
I know. It doesn't make sense, but I like it.
I'm from New York. I could say 9-11.
I said you can't. I can't.
