Tenor two. You shut up. I can't do tenor one notes, honey. I think you have the vocal power that no one understands. Like who? Like whom do I have the vocal power? Freddie Mercury himself. I believe that you possess the vocals of the legend known as Freddie Mercury.

You lie. You have such a high voice. But you know, I don't have my, going from voice to falsetto, insane mass. You mean going from like chest to falsetto? What do you mean? What are you saying? Chest to head is female specific. Okay, bitch.

So women don't have falsettos. They have head voice and chest voice. I know that. This is all for the listeners because I know that. Yeah, sure. Of course I know that.

And then for men, it's, oh, I don't know what the chest voice equivalent is. It might just be chest voice. Belimassio. Belimassio. Belimassio.

Belimassio falsetto. Nope. Not real. Belimassio falsetto apparicio. Oh. Yalitio Falsetto Aparicio. Oh. Yalitza Aparicio. Aparicio.

Yes, that's what they call it when you sing it from the stomach. They call it Yalitza. Yalitza Aparicio. And actually, Yalitza was named after the men's stomach voice. Yes. God bless her. I think, you know what? I was bucketed as a bass in high school.

How dare they? Was that because you were doing Masked Dragon talking like this, dude? No, I really wasn't. I was fully, I was fully up, up, up. And they made you sing bass? And some fucking dude. What was his name? Say it.

Well, my choir teacher's name was Michael Grant, and he's wonderful. But there was this guy. Grin or Gwin? Grant. Mike Grant. I'm sorry. Neither of the ones I said. But there was this other man named Rob.

His literal name was Rob Lowe. And he was this, oh, my God. He was just like textbook. I have a crush on that. No? I have a crush on that. And I don't mean to shame him on his looks. But he actually, well, actually, I do mean to shame him on his looks because he sucked.

Oh, wow. Of course. If you suck, you should be shamed. Absolutely. And so he was just like this hippie in his 60s who was mean and rude. Wow. And he one time. A hippie in his 60s who was mean and rude?

And he, so he would sometimes, he would be the accompanist for the musicals. And then one day the stage lights were on, we were doing a tech week, and the lights were on, and he just had done something the night before, clearly, had been on some drug, was hungover. And he just, we're in the middle of like,

warmups and scales, and then he just turns to the tech booth and stops, and he goes, can someone turn these goddamn lights down so he was a shitty person that's such abuse such abuse that is such abuse but like theater space anyway so he so he's doing scales and i guess in the placement exam of choir he like i couldn't hit a D the third C or some shit I mean he's horrible at his job if he's calling you a bass because honey tenor tenor one

what do they call a super high tenor counter tenor and what are you bitch should we find out right now ha ha okay so that's famously your voice and we said we were finding out what my thing is really quickly it's unfortunate that there's a razor on the pod fortunate that there's a

razor on the pod get you go come on go scale up to the highest note I have the results. I have the results. I have the results. I have the results. What's the result? Nat Rogers. Is a countertenor contralto. Oh my God. I can't believe I'm a countertenor contralto.

To be here feels amazing. I join the likes of Freddie Mercury and Ricky Martin. Ricky Martin. She bangs more like she sings well. Listen, talk about people that do things well. Oh, talk about

multi-talented. I would describe this person's performance capabilities as volcanic. Volcanic. I would say that watching this person perform is incredible. You know why it's volcanic? What? She is hot and gorgeous and it creates

fertile ground for other things. So, yes. Volcanic ash. Volcanic soil. Can I say yes and? And. Yes and. Yes and.

Improv? Improv. We love her. I love her improv. And. Yes and. We love her improv. And she loves doing it all around town.

She's an improviser. Well-known improviser to the stars. Stop. This sucks. This sucks. We're not fully straight on improv. No, it's amazing. Okay, no improviser, well-known improviser to the stars. This sucks. This sucks. No, it's amazing. Wait, no. Can I say this?

Let me say this. Give me the room. Give me the space. This will be forever the episode where you sang instead of me. You really, truly took that from me. You would go. There was a hot moment in time where I was obsessed in a new way

with this performer because i'd always been a fan and then i went to the bongo hour oh do you know the bongo hour i i'm a fan of the bongo hour i live for the bongo i love the bongo the bongo hour is peter smith sandy honig ben moss and ben moss and i had been going to bongo hour consecutively because i was so obsessed because i felt that it was unlike any other variety show i agree and the performances that sandy would do i was like i'm sorry i i was i was going with dave a lot and i was like that is a fucking star that's a star true star well you did you but you didn't think this no i always thought this but then i was like oh it's on the next level.

It's like that thing where it's like, you always knew the person was good, but you didn't know they were like, what the fuck? But the moment though was Carnegie Hall. I love the Carnegie Hall. We got to talk about, because Carnegie Hall, I think. Three busy Debras at Carnegie Hall. Hello, if you've been living under a rock. This sounds so fucking gross of me to say. I haven't even heard it yet, but I believe it's going to be gross.

We will be talking about that Carnegie Hall show for years to come. For years to come. I think we, no, truly I think we will. I mean, it was an iconic moment. Gorgeous, iconic moment in the community. In the community, which it is. Which is, which is tight.

We gotta talk about it. I gotta- That to me is iconic. That's iconic. Anytime you get to announce you're leaving something you made it on TV

on television that's my dream medium it is my dream to be like it's my last day it's my dream to be like

it's my dream to be like after a lot of thought and prayer and counsel from God I've decided that I'm leaving The View

and everyone goes aww yeah not even like what it's just like aww cause it's understood that if you're on the view, you will leave the view.

Yes. Anyway. Anyway. What can we say? What can we say? Please welcome into your ears. Sandy Honig! Wow, that was the greatest introduction I've ever gotten in my life.

I could have just, I'll just sit there and just let you guys. No, no way. You're in this now. Here's the thing. You are deserving of the intro. Yes. It's too kind. It's not.

We've loved you for literal years. I think, what have we known each other for? Nine years? Nine. In some capacity? It might be. I've lived in New York for eight years. Oh, so I can't believe I've known you since before that because I'm right. Yeah. No, I mean. No, I met you. No, wait. You actually

might be right because I came to visit my brother at NYU and he brought me. I didn't go to a Hammercats show but I went to a Hammercats party that was after a show and I remember him I remember meeting Sudi and I think I met you as well. Sudi and I were

very much inseparable so that probably was true. I was around we talked about this today I was always at the shows and at the parties because I was like the number one fan. Bowen was always, Bowen would always come to the sketch shows. I would always go to the improv shows. Can I say something?

It was very insular, that little bubble. Can I say, I'm going to fucking say something crazy. Oh, I can't wait. But Hammercats and Dangerbox. Dangerbox was the improv group. Hammercats was the sketch group at the time. Those were the two groups. And there was tension my freshman year between the groups.

I love, for whatever reason, I was in Dangerbox. He was the improv boy. Yes, and. Yes, and. Improv all around town. And then I would, and then I credit myself and Nicole and like the generation that came up and like Sudi and Allison and you

like our little coterie. We fucking started to rebuild the bridges you reached across the aisle you had an eve pizer barry weiss moment oh my god she came in here and said she had no cultural references she sits her ass down and she said by the way i have no cultural references meanwhile we're fucking talking about college improv and she says the words barry weiss and Eve Pizer and you guys reached across the aisle you wrote an op-ed about it we're actually friends because we talk

to each other on the internet shut the fuck up both of you I don't know you that well Eve did write on the Vice show she's nice she is very nice it just was a very funny moment to like read this article which was like can you believe two rich New York liberal Jews could be friends?

And I was like, yeah, that is crazy. Yeah, that's wild. Groundbreaking even. The like socialist versus like centrist, but you're still liberal and you agree, but it's like, like okay we couldn't be more different and like the centrist straight to serious honestly the centrist one is gay and it's like whatever but she's Bill Mars

you know she's just always like on the show being like the Me Too movement has gone too far yeah it really has do I feel that's her genuine belief you know what but the Me Too movement has gone too far Sandy no

now Sandy oh no here she goes it's gone too far and Sandy is guess what liberal Jewish

that's it you pointed to the third finger and had nothing I had nothing to say that's beyond that that's how he that's how he sees Sandy what more is there

hey when I hear how Jewish I am I literally just came here on the subway from Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish full Yiddish in full Yiddish

in full Yiddish but Jake was telling me the subtitles were on the screen yes subtitles on the screen but I didn't need them but your aunt is there I don't speak Yiddish but I've seen the play

so many times and I get the little I get the little words you know I get little ones coming in I get little words the weirdest one was there's a song in the have you seen I have it's been a long time

since I've seen Fiddler but I saw a high school production of it oh I bet that was good you know what how was the Firmacera Firmacera was over the top which I think was perfect. And quickly, I will say my favorite Frumicera story is Amanda Schachtman was... What's the wife's name? Oh, I don't know.

Golda. Golda. So she was Golda. Is Golda. There's a scene where Golda is singing and in the back, Frumicera is doing something. And in this production, Frumicera was on a high ladder. Yeah. She's always got to be tall. She's always gotta be tall.

She's gotta be tall so she was on a very high ladder and the ladder fell over and Frumicera came plummeting to the ground and Amanda Escalda just kept going.

She was Frumicera. No, no, no. She was Golda and behind her Frumicera had plummeted because it was a high school production which didn't make it safe

for the kids. Why would she be on a ladder? That seems really ill-advised. To have like a costume that covers a ladder so if the ladder didn't make it safe for the kids. Why would she be on the ladder? That seems really ill-advised. To have a costume that covers a ladder, so if the ladder falls, you're just trapped on the ladder. Actually, one second. One second. Junior year of high school, Miss Lisa Wood did a production of- You are naming names today.

Of Barnum. No, she actually scarred me creatively, and I truly resent her to this day, and I don't care if she listens. She decided it was a good idea. It was Barnum. It was circus themed. It was basically The Greatest Showman

but bad. Wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. Hold on. Back up. You just said

it's like if The Greatest Showman was bad. No stop. I'm going to stick up for The Greatest Showman. Actually, there's like a legion of people out there who fucking love that movie.

Okay. I mean, it's just like crazy. I didn't, like before watching it, I didn't know that like I could be me. Yeah, right. And it took someone to say, this is me. This is me. The sharpest words. This is me.

But the thing is though, I had been looking for a way to say this is me. And then it really gave me the vocabulary. Yeah. And when the sharpest words try to cut me down, I'm going to send the flood. I'm going to drown them out. This is bold. This is brave. This is who I'm meant to be.

This is bold. This is brave. This is Maybelline. And honestly, the whole thing was a fragrance commercial. It was. And I love any movie that's a fragrance commercial. I'm sorry. I love when... Okay, so let's go. We're keeping going Jew.

At the Seder last night. Keep it going Jew. My great aunt was talking about, she kept like accidentally doing commercials. She was talking about, because her last name was Honig. It's not anymore, but you know, before she got married. And she said that she only drives Hondas. She'll never stray from the Honda because she goes, when I get behind the wheel and I see that H,

I just feel great. I love the way it looks. I love looking at the H. I just feel great. And I was like, we should just film this and send it to Honda. I just feel great.

I look at that H and I feel amazing. Yeah. No, she's speaking to everyone there. Oh my God. Why? And that's the thing is it's like, why? Actors with commercial auditioning, it's like none of us can do this as good as real people.

You want us to be real people anyway, so get one. I know so many people who could make a killing in commercial auditioning and they don't even know it. They don't even know it. Charismatic people who actually have real skills outside of performance, who are out there. Who are compelling to listen to. They could make a killing in commercials and they don't even know it. Charismatic people who actually have real skills outside of performance, who are out there, who are compelling to listen to. They could make a killing in commercials and they don't know. They don't know. Sorry, I interrupted you.

The quick thing is, there was one dance number she decides to have these ladders where one person would stand in the middle and be the hub basically and spin a ladder around. Nope, it's already bad. The others, and then we would have to jump up and down. And literally,

like I fell on one of the ladders as it was coming to me and like I injured myself. And then the woman fucking kicks me out of the show because I didn't give a shit. And I was just like, I don't like being here. And she actually like,

whatever. She is bad. We've told this story and you've gone into great detail and she was in the wrong as the adult in the room. And guess what? If you are an adult

with a high school student you are wrong I had a feud with my high school drama teacher and I wasn't even in any of the plays he just hated me and he would not cast me in any of the plays that's so funny he just hated me that's so funny when okay so just and I will say again it's actually a rule of

culture number 14 if you are a high school teacher in a feud with a student you are wrong's actually rule of culture number 14. If you are a high school teacher in a feud with a student, you are wrong. It's rule of culture. But looking back, can you see the other side? Or are you like, no? I truly, when I, I was not in any of the shows. What did he have against me? And I'm going to tell you what he had against me.

I didn't know what he had against me. What? It's because I was elected to the drama board without having been in any shows. You were that powerful. You. Okay. I just, they elected me to the board. I don't remember what I did.

Elected you to the board. I think to the board of the drama club. And he was like the teacher in charge of it. And he was so mad that I was on it without having been in any of the shows. You didn't play ball. I didn't play ball. So then anytime I auditioned, he didn't give it to me. Oh my God.

And that's politics. He wouldn't let me in. And I think he, well, there's a glimpse into the industry right there. Yeah. That's the industry. The gatekeepers. The gatekeepers. Gatekeepers.

Get to know them. Get to know them, honey. Get to know the gatekeepers. Get to know the gatekeepers. They shape shift and you'll see them a million different times in a million different ways. Yes. But I got to say, if you're, if you have. If you're the New York accent,

but you're just like... But I gotta say, let me just say, if you're a high school teacher and you have ladders in your fucking production, you're busted. You're busted. I see you.

You're gonna kill those kids. You're gonna kill those kids. Those kids are gonna be dead and the blood's gonna be on your hands. And you're gonna say goodbye to Frima Sarah. But say bye to Frima Sarah. Frima Sarah. More like Frima No Head.

Because she fell over, her fucking head came off. Yeah. Because her fucking ladder wasimma Sarah. Frimma Sarah. More like Frimma no head. Because she fell over her fucking head came off. Yeah. Because her fucking ladder was in the show. This is just wrong speed. No, it's original. No, come on.

No, it's me and how my family talks. Actually, so this is actually erasure. Erasure. This is erasure. This is actually eraser. Erase?

This is eraser. This is eraser. Yeah, this is eraser.er and this is a racer this is a racer Sandy talk about your final episode at Vice Live I also love that like it was accompanied by a bang

I banged the table I said so let me just I'm sorry I can't stop because I like the way it's reverb honestly it gives it a dramatic attention that I love. I love any story of someone leaving a show publicly. So please. So for the fans, Vice Live was a weekly... No, sorry.

Nightly live talk show. Four nights a week. When it first started, it was two hours long. Four nights a week. Psychotic. For three weeks, we did it two hours a week. When it first started, it was two hours long. Four nights a week. Psychotic. For three weeks, we did it two hours a night. And then they reduced it to an hour. And then I think all together, we did seven weeks on the air before I left.

Yes. And I had it in my contract that I could leave for another, for the Debra's show. For Debra. For the Busy Debra's. For the Busy Debra's if the show got picked up and then they picked us up. Great. So, which I'm so excited about. Which we love.

Which we love. And well-deserved and iconic for the Busy Debra's. Yes. Thank you so much. It will be absolutely stunning. And so I was like, okay, I got to leave. I got to go. Got to go.

And it was very funny, actually, because the producer in i was like okay i gotta leave i gotta go gotta go and the it was very funny actually the producer in charge was like so i think rather than having you have like a last episode where it's like here your day here yeah here one day gone the next we're just gonna phase you out which i was like okay sure it ended up actually being a lot more fun so for the whole last week i was there i was just doing little bits. And you brought Peter in for a cooking demo? Yeah. So it was basically like I would just do bits like they would like as a runner, which ended up being way more fun than just being on the couch and like talking about rappers I've

never heard of as though I knew who they were. Because it got to a point where like, I was like, I'm not going to look these people up because me reading one Wikipedia entry is not going to replace an entire cultural knowledge of this person so I'm just not so I was just sitting there being like yeah it is crazy that she said that I was like yeah I know

isn't that it is like kind of insane but if you actually really think about it this is Eraser and they were like yeah applause break applause break standing ovation the number of applause breaks I got talking about

things I had no idea what I was talking about was pretty incredible was there a live audience yeah there was a live audience love that live audience so stressful

it was like so then I was like okay I'm gonna leave had a whole last episode where it was like my goodbye episode you know I did my little bits where it was like

oh I was giving like performance reviews to the other uh cast members ha ha ha um and then they like played a little joke you know oh highlight reel and they were gonna play an actual highlight reel from my time on the show from the seven weeks from the seven weeks we had been on the air they had put together like a highlight reel and i was like forget i said please please please please please do not do this to me do not put together a highlight reel of my seven weeks on this show in which i did not do well like it's just it's just not a context in which i feel like i thrive is like just just like riffing on culture you know yes yes yes yes it just is not what i am good at right right and so i just was

like please do not do this so i made them put together a like two second clip that was like you know they put like oh sandy's highlights and it was just like what two second clip would be like fumbling and then it was like and then goodbye goodbye goodbye this is on a thursday on monday show canceled and And no more airing. No more airing. So that ended up being the last episode. The last episode of the show was like, and Sandy's leaving and it's so sad.

Also very funny because the audience, they're not, it's not like they watch the show every night. They're just like random people that came to the taping. They pulled in. So it's like they showed up and the whole episode was like,

it's Sandy's goodbye episode and they had to go like oh. And I was like you guys don't know who I am. You don't know what the show is. But they had to be like oh and like give me applause. Which was just so funny. Insane. As if they like. Truly give you an emotional send off. Yeah.

And then I yeah and then Monday show cancelled. Like just from the network and then like everyone on staff was like oh I guess we don't have a job anymore. Yeah, it was very well. No one actually told me from the show. My friend Jack, you know, Jack Bensinger? Yeah. He moved here from Chicago pretty recently.

Very, very funny boy. Very talented. He was, I brought him into the show a while ago. He got fired and rehired twice throughout the time on the show and then fired again. Well-oiled machine. Well-oiled machine. And then after I left, they brought him back in. So on Monday, he showed up for his third time working at this show and then texted me being like,

Hey, I'm like back at work, but they're having a giant meeting with everyone who works here. And then five minutes later, he texted me being like, show's canceled. Oh, my God. No. People don't know. We have not figured out how to do those panel shows. No. It's not going to work.

It's a hard thing. Also, every night is hard. It's very hard. Every night. Two hours. What was that like? Well, first of all, walk us through the typical day in those first stages. What time would you go in?

I got in around like two or three, depending on the day. And then the show aired, when it was two hours, it aired at nine from nine to eleven. And then when it was one hour from ten to eleven. That's a long time. It's a long time, a long day. And then a long day to just like, I just, i don't know anything that we were talking about you would look up like takashi yeah but da ba da you know it was a debbie matt novelist situation for all my view has viewed people it really was just like i don't know why you hired me like i really i feel

like i showed up every day being like, I don't know what you thought. I know that the reason that I got the show was because when I was testing for it, I talked about, the thing was like, oh, well, what's a good gift you could get someone after six weeks of dating? And I was saying that a pack of batteries is a great gift. Yeah, yeah.

And I was just, I just talked about batteries for like five minutes. Beautiful. She can talk about anything. Yeah, and they were like, oh, she's so funny. And I was like, no was just, I just talked about batteries for like five minutes. Beautiful. She can talk about anything. Yeah, and they were like, oh, she's so funny. And I was like, no, you hired someone

who talked about batteries for five minutes. I was like, I don't know anything about pop culture. I just know about batteries. Oh my God. It's incredible too

because you are so good at so many things and to get this one job where they're like, hi, all we're going to ask you to do is the thing you can't do, the one thing that you cannot do. It really was just like,

I can't believe this is the first TV thing that I cannot do. It really was just like I can't believe this is the first like TV thing that I'm doing is something that I feel like I am the worst at. It's just like it sucks to feel like actively feel like you're failing live on television

and it was a live show which I thought would be very scary and it actually wasn't that scary but even but how do you reconcile that with you feeling kind of crazy about failing on TV? It somehow felt more like, I actually felt like I played better on camera than I did in the room. Oh. Interesting. I played a lot to the camera.

Well, that's good. I played to the folks at home, a.k.a. my parents. Did they watch every night? Yes, my dad watched every night. My mom would watch the next day. Beautiful. Honestly, yeah, that's a skill, though. Like, you missed live performance

on Saturday Night Live. Oh, great job. You did so well. You were so funny. You didn't understand what was going on. I was like, do I, when do I talk? I truly had no idea what was going on. I was like, when do I talk? I truly had no idea what was going on.

I don't remember any of that. You were so funny. Oh my God. I was freaking out. I flipped out. You flipped out. But I did feel like I went to TV grad school where it was like, I know when that red light comes on.

It's on me. I know which one to look at and I know how to do prompter and I know whatever. There you go. I think prompter is something I can do but the red light thing and knowing which camera, that would be hard for me because color blindness. Can't see them.

That's not a reason to not put me on live TV by the way everyone listening. I can learn. I can change my eyes. Can you see or you can't tell if it's green or red? It's a thing of like green and red is actually very difficult for me. Right. Because it switches from green to red.

Yeah. Is color weak? Color weak? I guess. Oh, is that what it's called? You're talking to a photographer. Oh, is that color weak, red, green, color blindness? I think so.

It's like red, green, color weak. I didn't know there was like another term for it. They've told me. You also might be right. I have no idea. Listen. Who am I but the daughter of two doctors? Of course. I didn't know there was like another term for it. They've told me. You also might be right. I have no idea. Listen. Who am I but the daughter of two doctors? Of course.

I mean merely the daughter of two PhDs. It's like I can see colors but I can't tell them apart often. It's like if blue and purple are next to each other that's a nightmare. Red and green.

Brown and green, forget about it. Truly forget about brown and green. But are those hard for you guys too? Don't put you in a forest, honey. Don't put me in a forest. Don't put me there. Can't see the forest for the... I keep snagging the table. I'm sorry. Can't see nothing.

Can't see the forest for the trees. My dad... And that's not changing the expression. No. My dad, my one job when I was little, like my chore that I would have to do is I would have to go clean up the dog shit in the yard. Oh, no. And that was a fucking nightmare because I could never see the dog poop because it was famously brown. How did you realize you were colorblind?

In third grade, they pulled me into the nurse's office just to do like a routine physical and they do this thing where it's like i've told this on the bottom of the bunch of circles it's a bunch of like little dots of different colors and you're supposed to see a number or like a pattern you're supposed to identify it and they were like okay what number do you see in this thing and i was like four and they were like it's a 22 and i was like oh okay and they're like okay so you're like aggressively colorblind like this is what it. And now they have those glasses you can wear. Then you see the color? Or you can put on cocktail lenses and it will change it.

But I'm scared to do it. Why? Because I feel like it'll freak me the fuck out. But wouldn't that be so cool? Because I always try to imagine in your head a color that you've never seen before. It's impossible to imagine. That's fucking insane. You've never looked through the glasses? I've never done that.

Oh my god, Matt, you have to do that. You have to make one of those viral videos where it's like, puppy, go outside for the first time. Podcast host sees green. Podcast host sees green for the first time. You know what, Psycho? I will walk around this town saying green is my favorite color.

You're lying. I've never actually seen it. You're a liar, then. But my two favorite colors are blue and green, saying green is my favorite color. You're lying. I've never actually seen it. You're a liar then. My two favorite colors are blue and green, at least what my eyes see. What color are your eyes? I don't know. My eyes are actually green.

And that's wherein the trouble lies. I think they're green. They are. No, I can't really tell. I often get blue, but they're going to look green right now. They're green. They're green. They're green. They're green. They're green.

They're green. They're green. They're green. They're green. My grandmother had green eyes. Her Irish eyes. So wait. So to you, green looks brown? Or you don't know?

If you put brown and green together, I can sort of tell you which one is brown and which one is green, but it is laborious. And it's like, is the green you see the green that I see? Exactly. And the answer is no. And the answer is actually no. We know this. We know it's no. We know for a fact it is laborious. And it's like, is the green you see the green that I see? Exactly. And the answer is no. And the answer is actually no. We know this. We know it's no.

We know for a fact it is no and it's going to be one of those things where it's like, I don't know, my doctor when I was little was like, if you were to switch eyes

with a normal person, you would see something fucked up to you. Like if you were to look at the world through my eyes, you'd be like, holy shit. Wait, but you should do it.

That's such a cool experience to see a color you've never seen. You know what? I'll'll do it i guess i'll figure out how to do it i mean what do you mean what's the worst thing that could happen you get freaked out and then you take them off and then i'm back to normal and then you're like spooky spooky oh you should just do acid and then put the glasses on and be like see that would be a whole fucking thing that would be crazy i'd have to be in a safe environment yes you'd have to be in a safe environment are you an acid fan i've done it once and it was the best experience I've ever had

and I never want to do it again because it was so great. See, we did it in the first time. Well, you've done it once. The first time I did it was on Fire Island. Me too! Yes, it was the best experience I've ever had in my life. And then I did it again with Matt in Upstate and it was also wonderful. Yeah, it was amazing.

It didn't take away from the first at all. I like doing it Upstate. The second time I did it was in LA and we were in a house and it was also wonderful. Yeah. It was amazing. It didn't take away from the first at all. I like doing it upstate. The second time I did it was in LA and we were in a house and it was raining and I felt cooped up in the house. So that was a little bit less comfortable, but still a good experience. I'm going to Joshua Tree in a couple weeks. I might there. You got it there. But then I'm like a little bit like a desert and we just have a house and I feel like the only place we could go would be like walking around the desert.

I don't know. But you're not going to go anywhere. I don't know but you're not gonna go anywhere I don't know when you're tripping Fire Island was so perfect it's perfect you got the beach you got the bay

you got it all it's so close and then you could just walk around and look at all the houses and go wow and then buy a slice of pizza to Fire Island

your mom has a house there yeah I've been going there since I was a little baby baby same I learned how to surf my grandpa had a house there. Yeah, I've been going there since I was a little baby baby. Same. I learned how to surf. My grandpa had a house there. And then he famously kicked us out. What?

Yeah, because his wife said we brought sand into the house. Oh, God. Wait, and so you're not allowed back to that? You weren't allowed back to the house? No, we had to. Well, we could come to visit, but we couldn't stay. Because you brought sand into the house. I mean, she just was, she was bad.

Yeah, but Long Island women and like the worst thing you could do is bring sand in the house. Or bring dirt in the house. I think it was just an excuse. Yeah, right. I think she just didn't want us there. My mom and her dad have been not great relations. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it was kind of like, okay, you don't stay here anymore.

So then my mom found this little like cabin yes in another town that was basically no one was living there you couldn't even see the house it was like

totally overgrown it was this like cabin that this woman's uncle had built and there was just like trees all around it and then she basically was like

I'll take it and then yeah and now it's and it was a little fixed wrapper or is it yeah it's still little but she painted it

fun colors. I love that. And you gotta make it fun. And you gotta make it fun. Yellow, turquoise, pink. Which beach was like your beach growing up on Far Out?

Ocean Bay Park. Ocean Bay Park. Ocean Bay Park was... In fact, all my friends from high school... What street did you say? I actually... I'll name them all.

Bay Street? Yeah. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah. Right on the Bay? You guys. Honey. My girlfriends all in high school worked at the market.

The CB market or the Ocean Bay Park market? Actually both. Ocean Bay Park market I mean yeah because they own by the same CB market's really where it's at. What's the last name?

What is their last name? The people that own it. Wait did you I didn't know you grew up going to Fire Island. Like truly all the time. But like the straight parts of Fire Island. That's what you're talking about.

Did you ever go to the day camp in Ocean Beach? No, but all my friends did. See, same. Jake went one year. Yeah. My mom tried to get me to go and I got too scared. When did you graduate high school? What year?

2010. 2010. Okay, so yeah, we were probably literally there at the same time. I was 20, 2008. Okay. We have so much crossover 2008 we have so much crossover we have so much crossover we've missed each other

we? several times I'm missing you guys and this is ultimately interesting for the listener for us to sort of catch up and it's even more interesting for them to say what I'm about to say right now Ocean Bay Park Market had the best buffalo chicken wrap wow but CV Market had really good deli sandwiches.

Truly, I'll never have food as good as the food that I had at those markets. So expensive. Really? Crazy. Because everything has to be imported. Psychotic. Psychotically expensive. A bag of chips is like $12. And truly the sleepiest 14 year old girl working at the cash register at all times.

But she's always cool. Tie-dye sweatshirt, choker, flip-flops 100 my sister worked there too actually blonde but like loose bun but looks good you're 100 describing truly all my girlfriends from high school the loose bun is iconic yeah loose bun iconic with like they're like i play soccer yep they played soccer the soccer girls and all their screen names had either the word soccer or beach in it. I have this thought about the teens who work on in the pines specifically.

Yes, they run Fire Island. Teens. Teens. Truly teens. They run the ferries. It's like scary. It's scary, but I'm just like, are they? This is truly just like, no, this isn't even internalized homophobia. It's not even anything. I'm just like, I look at them and I'm like, do you think that we're crazy? I'm like, no, this isn't even internalized homophobia. It's not even anything. I'm just like, I look at them and I'm like,

do you think that we're crazy? I'm like, what do you think about us? I think they know what it is. They know what it is. It's teens in the Pines and in Cherry Grove too? I mean, there's a lot of

young people working there. There's not as many teens in Cherry Grove. No. All the teens are running every single shop in the Pines. I also think probably those jobs are a little

bit more difficult to get because you probably make more money doing the service jobs there but the markets and everything, all teens. But it's like

some gay people can be monsters to these poor children. But also, I don't know if you've been to the street part of Fire Island. They're really wild.

They're insane. They're really bad too. I mean, Ocean don't know if you've been to the street part of Fire Island. They're really wild. They're insane. They're really bad too. I mean, Ocean Beach at night on the weekend. Ocean Beach is a nickname, the land of no. Yep.

And it's just all these like, rich Jews that are just like, you can't, you can't ride your bike on the weekdays. You can't, they'll literally, they'll,

they'll kick you out or they'll put you in the jail. They have a jail. There's the jail. They have a jail. There is a jail. Fire Island jail. Yes. It's like one cell. It is truly prominently displayed next to the ferry dock.

Yes. It is right next to the ferry. The Fire Island jail. I've been threatened before, but I've never been put in the Fire Island jail. Oh my God. Did you guys know that Macy's on 34th Street has a jail in the basement? I had no idea. That's almost as iconic as this.

Nicole Byer has this story that she tells and she told it on Seth Meyers, I think, where she would shoplift and she shoplifted from, she would shoplift from Macy's and she had this amazing thing

where she goes, okay, so you say you wanted to steal five t-shirts, you put five t-shirts, you put them all on the same hanger and then you pop,

you just pop tags, basically. And then it's this whole convoluted thing that I can't even paraphrase. But then she got caught one time. And she got taken to the basement of Macy's and was thrown in a jail cell. Oh, my God. Yeah, they'll put you in jail. There's a Macy's jail. You can walk on the street with a drink in Ocean Beach and they'll put you in jail.

I'm so happy you said the land of no. I hadn't thought of that in so long. It's the land of no. You are under constant threat of being thrown into prison. If you dare ride a bike without a flashlight at night, you'll get a ticket. Yeah. That's insane. Does it look the same as it does in the Pines and Cherry Grove where it's like boardwalks and trees?

They don't have boardwalks. Oh, okay. They're just concrete. It's similar in terms of layout. Does it look the same as it does in the pines in Cherry Grove where it's like boardwalks and trees? They don't have boardwalks. Oh, okay. They're just concrete. It's similar in terms of layout. It's nowhere near as like aesthetically pleasing. God. I will say this.

Like there's something about Cherry Grove where you feel like you could bite the walls. It's like everything's like candy. Everything's edible. Everything's edible. It's Wonka. Yeah. It's very Wonka-esque. Very Wonka. Very Wonka.

It's very Wonka. Ocean Beach is like. Very Wonka-esque. Very Wonka. It's very Wonka. Ocean Beach is like... Very Wonka. Maybe I've been there too many times, but it's like... I can't see the beauty in it anymore. Like the island... What is that called? The Island Mermaid?

That restaurant? Oh, yeah. The Mermaid, yeah. The Mermaid. The Mermaid. The pantry. Yeah. It's the equivalent to the pantry?

No. Sorry, I'm getting things confused. It's all kind of blending in for me now. It's like a restaurant and a little deli. So get this. So get this. I used to work, you know, the clam bar in the Fire Island. The Nikki's clam bar.

Yeah, Nikki's clam bar. I worked there. No way. That was my first job, Nikki's clam bar. Wow. And Nikki's on the Bay was my real job. And then I was like, honestly, Sandy, I did the cash register for like, to get to-go orders. That was my real job and then i was like i i honestly sandy i did the cash register for like what you go to get to go orders that was my first job i wonder if i ever yeah bought a fucking honestly like a paella for me one of the most incredible things is going on the ferry to

fire island in the summer and watching people eat hot clam chowder in the direct sunlight. And that was me. They eat hot clam chowder while just like sweating. It is just like unbelievable. It's not logistically feasible to eat it. And it's honestly not logistically feasible to behave in the manner that we all behave, but they do it.

Hands down, it's not even about logistics. It's not the place to do it. You eat a clam chowder on a boat? You eat clam chowder in a bread bowl when you're skiing. That's when you have clam chowder. When you're downhill on the slopes. That's when you eat it.

I don't know if you've never been to Long Island in the summer. It gets hot. She can get up there at 98 degrees. 99 degrees can feel like 103. Can feel like 103. But you're still baking on the top on the top of the ferry just like eating chowder and it's also too windy to eat it yes the chowder fly chowder fly yes chowder fly oh my god it's but correct me if i'm wrong yeah to get to the

point in your life where people start referring to Fire Island culture as like the gay thing, it's such a hard adjustment from like when we were growing up and it was like aggressively straight and aggro. Yeah. Well, I'm sure it's like if you were to go to Long Island and go back to let's say like – Ocean Beach, Ocean Bay Park. No, like let's say you go back to – I know it. I know where you're from, the neighborhood you're from. Islip. Islip.

If you go back to Islip and you say say fire island the people there aren't going to associate with gay necessarily no that's the thing is it's like everywhere in the world it's like you say the words fire island and they think oh gay and not that is not the case right oh that's what you're saying yeah i'm just saying it it has a whole internally it means something totally it has a whole different identity for people like sandy and i who grew up there. It's true. Wait, you were Long Island? No, I was Connecticut. Connecticut, yes.

But my mom's a surfer. There you go. And I was not good surfing in Connecticut, so we would drive every weekend. Yeah. I'm talking about Northeasterners. There you go. Northeasterners. Who frequent Fire Island, don't think of it as like being gay.

Exclusively gay. But we would always go over there and have fun. Would you? Mm-hmm. See, that was not. Yeah, see, me and my mom, my brother would like walk over and like hang out. Wow. I wish that that had been a thing for me, but it was kind of like, I don't know.

Who would you have gone with, right? Who would I have gone with? Well, I did end up going, oh, wow, that's a whole other story. With the Nikki's boss? So I had a relationship with someone I worked with at Nikki's Clan Bar and then they exposed me to that

fire island for a brief moment. Did you know about it? I knew about it. But it was like the pines. There's something illicit about it. Right. You know what I mean? Cherry Grove. See, Cherry Grove I thought was like the gay part and then now I understand that's more family oriented and the Pines is where you party, right?

Well, Cherry Grove is like more family oriented. It's more where a lot of the lesbians are and it's just like it's homier, I guess is the word. It's also more fun. I think it's a little bit more fun. It's a little bit more low key and it's kind of like, you know, they're just like yeah. It's not as like

I always thought of it as like the Pines is where the like big fancy houses are. Oh, the Pines is House Kitchen and Cherry Grove is Chelsea. Yes, that tracks. Yeah. That tracks. That actually tracks. That actually tracks for me. That actually tracks for me.

That actually tracks for me as well. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City are back. I love that. I love that. Oh my gosh. Welcome. And last season's drama was just the tip of the iceberg. You're recording us?

I am disgusted. Never in a million years after everything we've been through did I think that you would reach out to our sworn enemy. We were friends. How could you do this to me? I don't trust her.

Listen to Call It What It Is on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So listen, we're sitting here talking about so much cult, and we've yet to ask the question. Yes.

Take it away. We asked this of all our guests, by the way. Sandy Honick, what is the culture that made you say culture is for me? Think about the culture when you grew up, formative to you, and that put you in this path. And for you, it might be, we're talking to a photographer here as well, everyone. This is true. It could be photography. But it could be multiple answers. It could be movies, books, TV.

You know, it's really all over the place for me. Go. We love that. Because I had very, very exposed to, I had like, for some reason, I very passively accepted culture. Yes. I didn't, it's not like I didn't even know. It was like, I just didn't know you could like seek things out.

It was kind of just like whatever my mom wanted. It was handed down to you. Yeah. And so I didn't have basically the only things that I like the only music I listened to was Aerosmith and

Jimmy Buffett so we are very similar actually Jimmy Buffett I know every song are you a parrot head oh my god

I would have heard of myself as a parrot head my dad is the parrot head you know A Pirate Looks at 40 is right there okay A Pirate Looks at 40 A Pirate Looks at 40 the book is right there this

is the second time we've talked about jim buffett today actually i so funny i mean truly like someone the other day tried to like challenge me on it and she was like oh really you're like a jimmy buffett fan like for real name five songs i was like i could name 20 and she was like okay and then i just did i mean and it was and i didn't even understand that that was like not good like I had friends that would like make fun of me and be like haha Jimmy Buffett and I was like what's the joke I don't understand it's just fun yeah it's

it's they were like well it's like it's like yacht rock and I was like I don't understand like what was so what how is that I hate how that's pejorative but also I used to wish that they you know how on American Idol they would do like theme weeks? I was like, when are they gonna do Jimmy Buffett week? I wanted to hear like someone cover Fins.

Yes, Fins, an iconic song. What's your favorite Jimmy Buffett song? I would say that my favorite, depending on my mood. Really depends on the mood. I'm gonna say Cheeseburger in Paradise. Cheeseburger in Paradise is a classic.

I mean, that's a classic, but that's also like, you know. I know, it's not a deep classic. I think Come Monday is maybe his best written song. That's a great one. I think it that's a classic, but that's also like, you know. I know, it's not a deep cut. I think Come Monday is maybe his best written song. That's a great one. I think it has the most emotion in it, but I do, I think Finn's slaps, and I also think

I also think Volcano is good. Yes. And I love, um, I don't love Pencil Thin Mustache, but I love that one. It's iconic. I wish I had a pencil thin mustache. Okay, that's a good one. I wish I had a pencil thin mustache. Okay, that's a good one. I wish I had a pencil thin mustache.

I mean, I'm telling you. But you know his album, Songs You Know By Heart? Yeah, obviously. Obviously, I know them by heart. Yes. But it's called that because none of them were singles or anything, but they are so in the fandom that you truly know them all by heart. And that whole album, I could play back to front

like and also there's other things like Havana Daydream like I don't know like all this shit okay so for me Boat Drink Slaps

Boat Drink Slaps Boat Drink Slaps to talk about changes in latitude changes in latitude nothing remains quite the same okay so

Boat Drink Slaps Son of a Son of a Sailor isabs son of a son of a sailor is gorgeous son of a son of a sailor because then there's the woman that comes in for the like

bridge that woman is iconic and the lady she has from Trinidad wow yeah I know it's a lot do you know what I referenced

before with Mel and no one knew what I was talking about he went to Paris looking for answers to questions that bothered him so. And also that's such a sad, beautiful song. Okay, wait. So did you see Beach Bum?

No. Jimmy Buffett's in it. What? Yeah. So Harmony Corrine's like my favorite director. Yes, you love Harmony. It's not my favorite of his movies but I think that there are some

moments in it that are so worth seeing it and one of them is he has Jimmy Buffet and Snoop Dogg in a scene and they are singing a song together that's genius and I will say that's a bridge it is one of the I met him when I was doing this vice show

Jimmy? No Harmony Harmony and I told him when I was doing this Vice show. Jimmy? No. Oh, Harmony? Harmony. Harmony. And I told him, I was like, I gotta say to you, like,

thank you so much because you gave us what I would consider the greatest Jimmy Buffett song ever written. Wow. And it's called Moonfog and it's like written for- From Beach Bomb? Yeah.

This one I don't know. I don't know Moonfog. No, it was written for the movie and it's like, it's really good. And if you listen, you can hear Snoop like on the like in the background

he's not like singing on the track but you can hear him and it was great. I gotta say this is actually beautiful and Sandy came in today being like I don't know that much about culture but seeing you two connect it's so my culture this is huge. Son of a Son of a Sailor is truly beautiful and as I've gotten

older like I guess when I was little I liked the uptempo stuff like obviously Margaritaville is like his iconic song right truly talk about a genius global brand

yes yeah I mean gorgeous marketing did you read that New York Times profile on him no that was when the Margaritaville play

came out yes and it was basically just about how he is this like business mogul yeah who owns so the other Buffett I mogul who owns so many franchises.

And the island lifestyle is so far from what he is now. It's a goddamn brand. It is the definition of a goddamn brand. But I will say, and this is just me speaking as this complete outsider, someone who is not a parrot head, does not really connect to in the same way that you guys are

but I think it is beautiful the thing about Jimmy Buffett is I think he did it's like how people are talking about K-pop now where they're like it's a new invention in music

I don't necessarily think that's true but I think with Jimmy Buff with Jimmy Buffett I think it's beyond Yacht Rock even where it's like Yacht Rock

it's not it's not Yacht Rock but he invented it's a newish invention in rock music I guess I mean it's beyond Yacht Rock even where it's like Yacht Rock. It's not. It's not Yacht Rock, but he invented, it's a newish invention in rock music, I guess. I mean, it's just like a brand. It's truly, it's like a story you can opt into. It's like, I'm island guy. But it's singular.

But it's singular. And it's like no one else has really come close to like mimicking that or emulating that. It specifically, I I think caters to people like my father who was a working class person who worked hard at his job and wanted an escape.

And so it literally is a state of mind that is musicalized. And that is like. And it can be mass produced and mass distributed and everyone can listen to it. Truly genius because you can actually write real songs or you can write full ass joke songs like why don't we

get drunk and screw a classic that one always made me uncomfortable I mean yeah my mom would skip it yeah we listen to it in the car and my mom was like Richie not this one yeah that one always made me uncomfortable yeah I was just like, Richie, not this one. Yeah. Because the kids are in the back. That one always made me uncomfortable.

Yeah. I was just sort of. Richie. But he also was like, he's like a full novelist. He is. He's like. He's an artist. He's good at what he does.

And so you're right. No one's really tried to just do brand first. Yeah. Well, actually, you could say that Lady Gaga with Joanne kind of did do that. You know. There's no restaurant. Have you been to the restaurant? Margaritaville, I'll always hit one up

if there's a round. 100%. We've been to Joanne Trattoria. Oh, no, no, no. Wait, you're talking about Joanne Trattoria. Okay, so I was talking about Margaritaville. No, of course. I know what's happening at Margaritaville. And I've taken you to Margaritaville. I have not been to Margaritaville. Sandy. We have to go. It's good.

It's fun. It's fun. It's really fun. I wish they would open one in New York. I know. It's crazy. They have Bubba Gump. Why can't you fucking do Margarita?

But we go. Whenever we go to Orlando. This is insane. We always. I always make a point. I'm like we have to go to Margaritaville because you go to the Margaritaville restaurant and the whole gag of it is you go and you sit at the bar and the um the like huge pitcher that's on top of the volcano fills up and then the whole lights in the restaurant go in and out like and the pitcher tips

Whenever I would invite anyone over to my house in high school, I was like, you have to come see the room. There was a hole. You have to. There was an entire room in my house which was covered in parrots, parrot paraphernalia, photos of beaches, and Jimmy Buffett paraphernalia. And it just crossed over to Kenny Chesney.

I've seen this room. You've seen it? Yeah. It took over an entire room. The entire back den of my house was Jimmy Buffett themed. Where's that stuff now? I don't know. Wait, so when you do your 73 questions video, you have to do it there and then be like,

I was just talking about this with someone I feel like it's given enough clues that they're like, oh, she got sent to the furnace. But sometimes they don't do the furnace on this day if you get there fast enough. Where it's like, they're not telling you they died.

They're giving you enough out. Oh, really? It's a horrifying movie. But they did. The way they leave it is like like the one kid is shrunk the other kid is a giant ball he might as well be dead yeah

the one kid's a giant ball the one girl is but she gets juiced yeah she gets juiced right the one girl just straight up plummets down a furnace

yes to the furnace and the other one is like drowns Augustus Clue Augustus drowns drowns in the chocolate river no no no he got sent to the marshmallow room or something.

And they turned him into a marshmallow. But then they're like, maybe not. The fact is. The whole thing is they just run away with the mom and they're like, let's go check. Yeah. You weren't sure it's fine. Yeah, it's probably fine. It's behind their shoulder.

I feel like everyone Is always just like What happened Yeah what happened I Yeah, what happened? I'm like, we're working. What happened to that? We're writing a show. It's like, we're writing.

Yeah. We're writing. We're writing. That's what's happening. Okay, development is hard. Yeah. All right? It's not just all roses.

Sorry, I'm in, like, development hell. People love to be in development hell. Oh, it's one of my favorite places to be. Yeah. That and Orlando. If I'm not in development hell, I'm in Orlando. Yeah. That's beautiful. Can I'm not in our development hell, I'm in Orlando. Yeah.

That's beautiful. Do you guys have this? I think I have a quick. It's a lot of pressure. Schematic version is. Give it. Give it. It's a Natalie Portman lifestyle where I'm married to like basically like a ballerino

and I live in Paris. Wow. I see that. I see that for you. And then I decide to poke my head back in the industry, the comedy industry. Are you a comedian at this point? I'm a comedian at this point. Or have you transcended?

I think I'm a comedian still. But all my references are very disgusting European. Oh, like a David Sedaris type. Exactly. Like where it's like, I'm funny, but I live in like the hills of France. Okay. Thank you so much. Because at first I was like, I guess it's Natalie Portman. No, it's like i'm funny but i live in like the hills of france okay that i thank you so much because at first i was like i guess it's natalie portman no it's date it's david sedaris

yeah and maybe i do just maybe i do just do like one one stage one live show every two years and then i just write books maybe wow basically sedaris type essays and memoirish essays. I should say, I love that for you. Yes, and? Okay. I should just clarify that my theme park is hilarious. Okay.

Everything about it is so funny. The games are so clear. Okay. Okay. Yeah. They have set up punchline. Set up punchline. That's really,

in fact, broad. You can't even get in if you're not funny. You have to pass UCB 401. You have to pass UCB 401. You have to pass UCB 401 in order to get in, actually. Absolutely. And actually, the tickets are really expensive.

Yeah. And pitch three sketch premises. You have to pitch three desk pieces and write in 50 monologue jokes. You have to pitch three desk pieces. In order to get a ticket at my park. Ew, what is this noise? And you have to do a desk pieces. And I've got to check it out at my park. Ew, what is this noise?

And you have to do a bit with the person at the gate. Oh, God. They're like, we got to keep running in. We got to stop running into each other like this. And you have to do a five to seven minute set in which you do 15 different characters. All racially problematic. All racially problematic. Which is great.

Black out between each. Yes. That's it. Sandy okay i feel like see i feel like mine would sort of be in an amy sedaris sort of world oh yeah i feel like i would live here yeah i would live new york yep i would have a a place where i had a okay okay this is dream dream dream no yeah please floors yeah in which No, yeah, please. Floors. Yeah. In which we have a photo studio in the home. Yes. We have an area where I can do my aerial silks because I'm addicted to the stuff. Addicted to the stuff.

I'm addicted to climbing up the curtain. All right. And we'd have, you know, we just have it all in the home. Never leave. Yeah, no. Occasionally go to the bodega and be like, I'll have a Diet Coke and Goldfish. Yeah. Yeah.

And also 14-year-olds run that bodega. Yes. With the messy buns. And they will still intimidate me. Yes. Truly, the girls on Fire Island are the most, because I just was like, I'm not blonde. They all were. They were all blonde they were all like thin

they were thin and their hair was thick and blonde athletic soccer girls and they could just throw it up there yeah these were all my girlfriends in high school tie dye sweatshirt little shorts oh those slides the Nike slides but with socks and then like they're just like

yeah you wanna get pizza? What's your name? Emily. Emily. Sam. Tara. Tara. Tara, Sarah.

That was the big adjustment. It was coming from Connecticut to Long Island. I remember I had a friend named Tara, and I would call her Tara. And my mom was like, they pronounce it Tara. We're going into a new culture. And I would call her Tara. And my mom was like, they pronounce it Tara. Oh my God. We're going into a new culture. Truly shout out to all my friends from high school who did this job. They pronounce it Tara.

As if you're going into a foreign country. It's a rule of culture number 66. They pronounce it Tara. If you want to hear a very Jew-y thing my grandpa once said. Please. Because he's from Brooklyn and he asked my brother where he lives and he said he lives on Myrtle and Nostrand

and my grandpa was like you're pronouncing it wrong it's pronounced Moidal it's Moidal and Sandy's fanning her hands out Moidal it's pronounced Moidal oh wait there was something that I was going to say when we were talking about Fiddler when so you were asking about the translation there was something that I was going to say when we were talking about Fiddler. So you were asking about the translation.

There was one thing that was very odd because, so there's that song where Tevye is singing Tehava, you know, and the lyrics are little bird, little Havala, of course. And so the word for little bird is Fagala, which is also the way you say a faggot yeah so it was just like this whole song of being like little Fagola and I just was sitting there being like oh my is Fagola Yiddish for gay

too or no? Yes it's like it's Darag it's Darag filed under Darag D under Darag and it was just like a full number of little Fagola and I just was like

oh my god my brother the like old man timbre you just gave your voice little Fagola Jake and I were like grabbing each other

Jake's my brother you know for the fans for the fans Jake we love Jake that's very funny and and honestly speaking of funny oh what nothing please speaking of funny I was gonna transition us the bands. Jake, we love Jake. That's very funny. And honestly...

Oh. What? Nothing, please. I was going to transition us into more hijinks. Oh, hijinks? It's time for I Don't Think So Honey. And I Don't Think So Honey is actually our one minute segment where we take something in culture that doesn't sit well with us and we have one minute to

rant on it. Okay. And here's the thing. I went ahead and got something it's a pre-select it's a pre-select you might even say it's a pre-select this is matt rogers's i don't think so honey and his time starts now i don't think so honey easter it's fucking weird first of all he rose yeah i don't think so honey y'all look the same y'all had long hair and i'm assuming abs at the time. He died ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Sorry, Christians.

Okay, also, I don't think so, honey. The whole Easter bunny of it all. What? It's a large rodent? No. Why are we allowing this to be? Listen, if I see a rodent, it's going to get exterminated. Hand me.

I don't think so, honey. 30 seconds. It hides eggs on kids. That's frustrating. I don't think so, honey. It hides eggs on kids. That's frustrating. I don't want to look for shit. I want to know where things are. Also, what's in the eggs? Coins? They should all be taken out as units of currency.

It's about dollars, honey. That's actually a rule of culture. Here's the thing about Easter. What are we eating? Ham? Truly non-specific at least we know on Thanksgiving we're getting a specific feast which is a turkey feast honestly

Easter you have nothing more like Yeaster no one likes you bitch that's one thing Yeaster and of course no one likes you bitch it's actually rule of culture number 46 Easter more like Yeaster no one likes you bitch more like Yeaster day no one likes you, bitch. It's actually Rural Culture number 46, Easter. More like Yeaster. No one likes you, bitch.

More like Yeasterday. No one likes you, bitch. More like Yeasterday. So I just took that and sort of picked it. So Yeasterday, so Yeasterday. I like a bird that's already flown away. Honestly, that worked. I love being mad about ham because it's nonspecific.

It's n-specific. Easter is that holiday where my parents are always like, happy Easter. And I'm like, oh, I forget that people care. You know what I mean? It's that one holiday. It's when Jesus came back. It's when he made his big return three days later. When he dropped his EP.

Yeah, it's when he said, just kidding, bitch, the bitch is back. And he came back for a little, like, truly five seconds and then rose up.

That's the thing that always gets me is that he showed up and then he left. Yeah, well. Where'd he go? To heaven.

It was literally. Wait, what? Yeah. So he's resurrected and everyone fucking loses their minds and then he immediately

pieces and leaves. Wait, I thought he, he like came back and did more good stuff no no it was literally he comes back and forgives he comes back and he's like hi and then he does he get killed no so he gets he famously was crucified and then three days later he rose again and basically what he does when he's risen is he says to everyone in being risen like i was real and your belief in me was not in vain and i forgive you for allowing me to die and i and i forgive you and the theme of of of my existence is you know forgiveness and etc and then he rises and he goes back to and he's like i am i am. I am the son of God. And bye. And then he goes to heaven. And that actually has absolutely nothing to do with Easter eggs.

Where do the eggs come in? Birth. I mean, it's like, you know. Oh, is that it? I think that's what it is. So what does the rabbit have to do with eggs? What's the rabbit? Do rabbits lay eggs? I think the rabbit thing is actually it's like, I think it's, I think the rabbit thing is actually like a fusion

of pagan imagery. Rabbits should lay eggs. Because like hardcore Christian people hate Easter, hate Easter activities. Like they hate the rabbit, they hate the eggs.

Yeah. So like that's, the rabbit stuff is like pagan imagery mixed with like Christian imagery. That's what it is. Well, and with that,

we have Bowen Yangs I don't think so honey. And his time, it starts now. I don't think so honey responding to my DMs with emojis. Don't dismiss me bitch. I don't think so, honey. And his time, it starts now. I don't think so, honey, responding to my DMs with emojis. Don't dismiss me, bitch. I want to keep talking to you. You're going to end the conversation.

You can just end the conversation on a word, honey. Truly. Try it out, bitch. Because you're rotting your brain by tapping back a fucking heart eyes emoji at me, and I don't know what that means. Do you want to have sex with me or not? This is targeted. So unlike want to have sex with me or not? This is,

this is not targeted. So unlike you to bail only halfway in. So I'm realizing this is not exclusive to sexual DMS. It's also exclusive. It was inclusive of all types of DMS. Emojis are dismissive. And I think we should all clock that and say, you know,

don't, don't push me away. I respect your boundaries, but you can tell me that with words and not with imagery and glyphs invented by Japanese people that you are now. 15 seconds. You are now not appropriating. You are misappropriating.

It's misappropriate, honey. I don't know what that means, but I stand by it. There's time left. Five seconds. And look, emojis should only be used for tweets and texts. That's one minute. Not DMs. How do you respond if a random person responds to your story?

That's what I'm saying. You don't respond. You do respond. See, I feel bad if I don't respond. Of course you do because it's rude. I send the heart. You double tap or you send heart emoji? I send heart.

Double tap. Double tap. Or I say ha ha. Or I say, you know, like, yay. If I double tap the message, I love that. That's perfect. If someone double taps my message, I'm like, great. They don't want this to dip into a full conversation.

I can respect that. But the emojis are this weird liminal space where you are telling me you have a boundary. You don't want to keep going with words. I don't know that that's true. I think that's kind of the implicit understanding. See, I think it's interesting because it always has to end

at some point. Yes, it does. It 100% does. But you can be like, I miss the days when you'd be like, TTYL. I talked about this

on Seek Treatment, because I talked a lot about sweeping the scene in improv. I would say sending an emoji is sweeping the scene in improv but I would say sending an emoji is sweeping the scene. It is.

That's okay. Fine. All right. Well, maybe you just have to deal with the fact that I'm also the one. Sometimes people just are done talking to you.

Yeah, I'm an improv expert. Sandy Ho. Yes, Sandy. That's my web series. Yes, Sandy. Look it up on Seesuit. Okay.

So who's about to do one? I can't remember if I did this on a live show or not. Doesn't matter. I guess we're going to see. Improv queen, Sandy Honig. Oh, yeah, really good at improv. Here we go. I don't think so, honey.

Her time starts now. I don't think so, honey. Squatty potties. Oh! Okay. Have the decency. If I am coming over to your house and your squatty potty is still in the bathroom,

I don't think so, honey. I don't want to see a white plastic geriatric thing in your bathroom that is covered in your piss pubes. And it is like especially in a male household or, you know, I don't want to say male because that is, you know, that is trans exclusive. But, you know, if you were at home with dicks and you are pissing in a toilet and you have a squatty potty, you gotta put it away when you have guests. I do not want to step on your piss. Also, what are you, a baby? What are you, a baby and you're geriatric?

What, you can't shit? Have a probiotic. Eat a bean. I'm sorry. What do you need to put your ears, your legs by your ears for? I don't think so, honey. The squatty potty needs to go. Eat a bean. I'm sorry. What do you need to put your ears, your legs by your ears for? Okay. I don't think so, honey.

The squatty potty needs to go, put it in a closet, put it away. And that's what I'm unclear. Cause okay. I am with you on, they shouldn't be displayed as prominently and probably cause I don't necessarily, when I'm in the bathroom,

I want to forget that anyone else has ever. This is exactly what I say. I picture the person squatting over the toilet every time if I see a squatty potty in your house I'm going to picture you

taking a shit with your knees by your ears and I don't want that image and I don't want to see it and I will say though recently I went to a house

and this guy had a wooden squatty potty. And that was elegant. Yeah, that honestly constructed. Because there's no dumb little grooves where piss and shit gets caught. But why would it be white? I know. I know.

That is odd. Design flaw. Why would it be white? That is a design flaw. You can see everything. I guess because most bathrooms have like prominently white, like a coloring scheme. Which is also wrong. Toilets should be brown.

Toilets should be brown and yellow. You know what? Yeah, because that would solve a lot of issues. I used to have a like black toilet. Those are so sleek. But you could still see the poop clinging to the bowl. I love a black toilet. Anytime I'm like, it's like it's sexual. I agree. I love a black toilet. Anytime I'm like, it's like,

it's, it's sexual. I agree. I want a gray one. Can you get a gray toilet? I want a gray toilet. I want a pink toilet. Get this.

Have you ever shit on a toilet with a fuzzy seat? Like with like a, like a, like a, like a, I hate it. It's crazy when you think about it, because if poop gets in that like mattress seat cover it's not coming

out well the other thing is how many times have you been in a bathroom and there's a little tinkle on the seat and then i hate that and then you think okay so this is just in there just yeah i also feel like if you leave the bathroom and it's not spotless that's bad it you need to take toilet paper and wipe the seat yes oh wipe the seat and true and also i'm sorry i know we're all trying to save water but i flush your piss i don't want to see piss in the toilet that's how that's who i am well it starts to stink it starts to yes and also it stains the bowl and also it stains it stinks it. It's called the courtesy flush, people, too, with poop. Courtesy flush. Because sometimes not one flush is enough.

I know. You know what? What? I moved into an apartment three years ago. I have never once clogged this toilet. Good for you. No, it's a good bowl. It's a good bowl.

It's a good bowl. No, it's always about the bowl. What's the color? White. It's white, but I got a pink seat for it. Gorge. Gorgeous. And you know what else was gorge?

This entire fucking episode. This entire episode. What a fun time. I had fun. This was, please, to know that we can connect over Parrothead culture. It's huge. I really don't know anyone else that has. This is historic.

Yeah. It's huge. To know that his book is truly sitting right there. And I clapped that before and I was like, oh my God. And then when you said that, no, I don't own own the book i've never read any of his books i didn't i didn't know about the books you didn't know that he was also writing books i did not know about the books is a man who looks at 40 is that in a novel a man looks a pirate looks at 40 a pirate looks sorry i'm sorry so it is a song as well oh it is i hope he writes i could write a
