beloved family's home beloved and my mother had made her food and we were eating the food and I ate it a little too fast.
And does this ever happen to you where it goes down the wrong pipe,
but it doesn't like, it goes into your sinuses?
Oh, no.
Yeah, yeah.
That's horrible.
It's the worst feeling.
There is a meatball in my brain.
Currently.
Right now.
And I woke up and I thought, surely it will have passed.
There is a piece of food in my sinuses
and i'm starting to feel sick okay here's what you do you're gonna go to you're gonna go to your cvs
you're gonna buy a neti pot not a neti pot i mean it's functionally it's the same idea but just
one of those like saline rinses you gotta flush that out oh my god it feels insane you have a
meatball brain once i ever tell you the story about the one time I ate McDonald's too fast in high school
and then fries came out of my nose?
Oh, no.
Okay.
This is...
What?
I mean, that's the whole story.
That's the whole story.
Okay, okay, okay.
But listen...
Matt, you gotta be careful.
I have to be careful
when you're eating.
It's actually
rule of culture number 16.
You gotta be careful
when you're eating.
I used to have the worst habit
of not chewing my food completely
and then swallowing it
and then it getting stuck.
And I had to... What do you think that's about?
Oh it's about
It's about the cultural ergonomics
It's a very Chinese thing
It's a very immigrant narrative
And I was bent over
The Costco bathroom stall
First of all can we just say hot?
Hot, bent over, agape
Oh my god, literally hot I had. Bent over. So fucking hot. A gape. Oh my God.
Literally hot.
I had like a two inch piece of hot dog stuck in my esophagus for about four hours.
And I was just in Costco trying to wash it down.
And my parents just being like, what did we do to, how did this happen?
What did we do to make this happen?
It's good they were asking those questions.
And I do blame them.
And I do blame them.
I do blame them.
Now.
And I blame us for getting such a good guest. I blame. What a great segue. I think if we have too good of a time tonight, I blame them. And I do blame them. I do blame them. Now. And I blame us for getting such a good guest.
I blame.
What a great segue.
I think if we have too good of a time tonight, I blame us.
I blame us.
And we're going to have the best time.
Can I tell you what the party is?
What's the party?
At Chloe is crazy.
At Chloe is crazy.
Ooh, honey, it is a trove of content every day.
Each day.
Each day.
Sometimes more than once a day.
You'll get a treasure trove.
And it will become impressions down.
It will become characters down.
Characters down.
Acting moments down like steering wheel acting.
Or it's photo shoot moments.
It's dance moments.
It's street things.
Last night she had this fucking guy
who was catcalling her,
following her,
and it was riveting to watch.
She can turn anything
into Academy Award.
Academy Award,
but it's truly compelling.
Let me tell you
where I met this person.
Catherine Cohen.
Again,
how many times do I say this?
She links.
It's my favorite show.
She links it up.
She links, yes.
It's my favorite show in New York.
It's my favorite show.
Well, you see.
Cabernet Cabaret,
I was guest hosting for Catherine.
Yes, I remember this. I was sitting in the audience
our guest goes up
I was like
oh
she literally
my god
Catherine emailed me like
two hours before she was like
okay we
literally this person is in town
we must have her on the show
I was like okay cool
give me her number
came in
slayed
did impressions of
famous celebrities giving beach
it was a moment
giving BJ's
Blue Jays
Blue Jays BJ's Blue Jays.'s. Blue Jays. Blue Jays.
B.J.s.
Toronto Blue Jays.
Blowjobs.
Blue Jays from Toronto, honey.
I think she's so funny.
And then just,
and then the moment that you,
I mean, at this point,
tens of thousands of people follow her,
but at the moment that you look through her stuff,
you're just like,
It's a treasure trove.
Wow.
Anyway.
We're very happy.
We're very happy.
She's in town from L.A.,
and so we have her on the pod
and her name is
Chloe Feynman.
Thank you.
Wow.
Hey, Chloe.
This is a big,
and also this is a moment
where I was like,
I literally have been telling people,
I was like,
you know,
Chloe Feynman's coming on the show.
And people are like,
oh my God, what?
Oh my God.
My friend Nika from LA is gagged.
Really?
Yes.
Really?
Okay, can we talk about
what happened last night?
You were walking down.
So it's actually, I can't stop thinking about the fact that I'm not getting catcalled in 2018.
And you're lamenting it.
I'm lamenting it.
I like tried, because it was like this thing.
I was like, this is content that has legs.
Conversation starter.
Conversation starter. Conversation starter.
I remember like
putting on shorter gym shorts
and going in downtown LA
just like,
hello.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And like silence.
Wow.
Everywhere.
But then when you were here,
when you were in school here,
would that happen?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
More disgusting city, New York.
A little bit more disgusting,
but also like
I have a butt,
and it was nice to have it finally be acknowledged.
Right, right, right.
If on the street.
But not last night.
It's been silenced, honestly, for the last year.
Ever since the Me Too movement, I'll never forget.
I used to walk downtown, and there was this guy in a driveway, a security guard,
and he'd always be like, hey, lady.
And I walked by, and he looked at me
and his mouth
just was glued together
wow
the power
he learned his lesson
he learned his lesson
but I hate it
and I have all these girls
being like
yeah like I don't know
if I look good
like we're so mad
at getting cackled
but we need it
but you need it
oh my god
and how does it get
reflected back
is the thing right
yeah
but then okay
so then talk about
this guy coming up to you.
Because this guy was-
So he was really kind and I was really desperate.
But he was aggressive.
Yeah, yeah.
But I was desperate.
Okay.
And I was asking for it.
I was in a tube top.
You were in a tube top.
You look great.
And he came up-
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thoughty 30.
Thoughty 30.
Thoughty 30.
Yeah.
I love that.
It's an embracing.
It is.
It is.
How much time left do we have on Thoughty 30?
Is it Thoughty 30s or Thoughty 30? I think we can make it the Thoughty 30s. I think it's an embracing. It is. It is. How much time left do we have on 30? Is it 30-30s or 30-30?
I think we can make
the 30-30s.
I think it's the 30-30s.
20s was NYU stage blacks.
Yes.
For sure.
And period costumes.
Yes.
30s are 30.
Yeah, good.
30s are 30.
What studio were you in
at NYU?
I was at Adler.
Adler.
Yeah, Rachel Winitsky
was in my studio.
Oh, wow.
Okay, yes.
The famous Winitsky.
Yeah.
I mean, so you're in Adler.
Adler, wow.
You're in your studio box.
You walk outside, immediately get catcalled.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
Yes, the Chelsea catcallers.
Yes.
Wait, was that at Chelsea?
Was Adler at Chelsea?
It's in Chelsea, yeah.
Great, great, great.
Okay, so Adler is like a studio where they take it V seriously.
So serious.
Yeah.
I didn't leave all
four years wow which is people should know is uncommon very very uncommon yeah usually people
you know they dip around they dip around they go to London the experimental theater you wanted to
stay in there Adler I was like I need to play this 50 year old alcoholic now truthfully now
at 21 at 21 yeah did you take yourself as seriously as the studio took
itself more seriously really yeah like i get embarrassed coming back to new york and like
seeing people like rachel because they know me a certain way and i'm desperately trying to never
remember and so what way was that like in what ways did you take yourself so serious one time
i had a meltdown in the bathroom over a roll and
the head of the, Stella
Adler's grandson, Tom Oppenheim
banged on the door. Tom.
Tom was like,
I was great. I was just weeping
and he was banging
on the door. He's like, Chloe, Chloe, come
out. Chloe, please let us talk to you.
Chloe, Chloe. Yes. This is
theater school. I was theater school absolutely yeah and i
was like and i'm like talking to my mom and she's like what is wrong like people are gonna worry
and then i were worried of course they were worried and then i came out and then
they went up to the front desk and they're like it's okay it happens at least once a week
these kids they're constantly breaking down.
But see,
this is the thing,
as someone who secretly always,
secretly wanted to be
a tish kid
while I was at NYU.
Oh, I was,
but I wanted to be
an acting kid.
You were, yes.
I got into dramatic writing
because it was the
quote unquote easiest
to get into.
Right, and I was like
even more degreed away
than that.
I also feel like
the most sustainable.
I'm happy I went now.
At the time,
I agree with what Bowen is about to say
you really wanted that kind of acting education
well secretly I was like I am not
in the right place you wanted the passion
but my conception of what
drama school was like was
crying in a bathroom
and having Tom Oppenheim
Stella Adler's grandson
knocking on the door
and also never forget,
there was,
I got in a huge fight
because the casting of the plays
had come out
and I was cast as Lady Macbeth.
Fabulous.
And no one wanted,
I did,
because it's a great role,
that people were out to kill me.
Oh yeah,
I've experienced that.
And this girl,
and this girl's boyfriend
was Macbeth
and she was so upset and so mean that she started running down the halls.
Oh, my God.
Weeping.
And I was like, Eleanor, Eleanor.
Come, Eleanor, let's talk.
Eleanor.
Oh, my God.
And she was like, no, no.
Because she desperately wanted to be Lady Macbeth.
She wanted them to have the power couple.
To do a power couple do the play.
And so I remember circling her, and I was like, Eleanor, talk.
Eleanor, Eleanor, Eleanor.
She was like, no.
And she always wore like
really fancy Marc Jacobs
because NYU has like those rich kids.
So she was like draped in couture
and like ignoring me.
And then Ellen Adler,
Stella Adler's grandmother saw us
and she was crying and she goes,
if my mother knew that you girls
were arguing on Rosh Hashanah,
I swear to God.
No.
So this was like, this was, this is like this time of year.
Yeah.
Wow.
That is unbelievable.
September casting.
So how did the production go ultimately?
Oh, I'm very, okay.
So they brought in a director who directs Shakespeare, like the Harlem Shakespeare Company.
I love it.
So it was not used to directing whites in their early, like 20-year-old white girl.
And so I was like, he wanted me to like spit on Macbeth and like grab his, I do this thing where I was like, no.
And I would like fake grab his balls and look him in the eyes.
Love that. Because she's really got the power. how to know and i would like fake grab his balls and look him in the eyes love that and be like
because she's really got the power yeah she's got the power to be like was like uh you know the baby
line i don't know sure sure i'm blinking on all of ladies yes i don't remember it either never
was the hope drunk grab his balls look him in the eye spit it was very like okay and you did that i
did that and i was doing it and i hit him or something and he was like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What's going on?
And his direction was like, come on, she's crazy.
She's crazy.
And so I spit on him and the director was like,
why did you do that?
Like, what?
That was so crazy.
And I was like, well, you told me she's crazy.
He goes, no, no, no.
Like, damn, you crazy.
Oh my God.
And he was white.
He's like an old white Italian guy
And so the day that we premiere our show
He sits us down and is like
Enjoy this Kazem
You're probably never going to play these roles again
What?
I remember this
God rest her soul
But Liz Suedos
She would fuck with my head
So we did a Tish main stage of Marat Saad
I remember that I played the Marquis de Saad. Mm-hmm. I remember that.
I played the Marquis de Saad.
Oh my God.
And it was controversy
because I was in dramatic writing,
but I was one of Liz's favorites.
I mean,
I can say now.
Yeah.
But she selected,
and I remember I got a...
And so people were out to kill you.
They were out to kill me.
They do that.
It's gross.
I mean,
they were so upset,
and I guess they had a point
because I was not a drama student.
Here I was in the main stage.
Sure, sure, sure.
But I kind of was like,
well, you know,
this is what happens in the industry.
Models are going to take your part, so it might as well be me.
You compared yourself
to models.
Well, to models who had no rights to take the jobs.
But it's true.
But I was like, you know what? I honestly was just like fighting, fighting,
fighting to be accepted.
And then, of course, there was, of course,
all the pressure on me to be good at the part.
And then you add on to it.
By the way, they made it a punk rock musical.
I don't know if you remember that.
I remember this.
Yeah.
Did you see it?
I saw it.
I think I saw it.
And I'm starstruck that it was you.
Oh, that was me.
I was the mark you just saw.
I sang the song where we got whipped and it was like a punk rock ballad.
It actually was pretty badass.
Okay.
I don't know if I did it well.
I don't remember a single fucking thing.
No, it was like a full fever dream.
It was crazy.
It was like being underwater.
It was 19-year-old screaming at a bunch of fucking white middle class adults.
Because they said it in a detention facility for troubled youth.
Yeah, yeah.
And they also had us write our own monologues as the characters.
In top of doing the text, which was musicalized in punk rock.
It was insane.
That's what they do.
But I remember Liz would drive me nuts because she'd give me different direction every day and totally like she's like
no i want the character to be like stephen tyler so then i would come in and i'd be like stephen
tyler she goes wait can i see you just well like when she said stephen tyler i was like okay so
you want to be like an active rock star yeah like johnny depp you want him to be like come in and
with swag okay she's like no it should be much more moody than that i'm like okay well stephen tyler isn't moody and then i i
kind of realized that she she either one of two things didn't know what she wanted and was gonna
when she saw it was like do that or she wanted me to be confused she constantly wanted to to keep it
fresh and have you switch back and i think what she wanted was for me to be like a lunatic.
Yeah.
And she succeeded.
I was fully crazy.
It died me her black.
And that like changed my personality.
You looked like a villain.
That's why I don't recognize you.
Probably.
I remember Black Swan had just come out.
Oh my God.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
You remember this era?
I too was a tishton black
oh yeah so that changed too that changed the way you thought i remember one time i had a
this is the most nyu story and i probably have told you before but i had a fight with my voice
teacher who asked me to he asked me to sing that rock ballad in in voice class with him and i hadn't
gone over it with him because he he was trying to get me to sing. Oh, what a beautiful morning.
And I just was like,
this is not the way I sing.
So he's like,
can you sing the ballad that you sing in the show for me now?
I want to hear the way you're singing it.
He told me,
I could tell you that you're not allowed to go on stage singing it the way
you sing it.
And I'm like,
well,
I have to sing it like from my gut.
Like it's like,
it's like a,
I'm like thrashing around getting whipped while I do it.
It's like,
I have to,
I can't really sing it like this. I can't do it like this. I have to do it like the, I'm like thrashing around getting whipped while I do it. It's like, I have to, I can't really sing it like this.
I can't do it like this.
I have to do it like the way I'm being directed to do it.
He goes, this is why Tish sucks.
They don't teach you how to sing correctly.
Steinhardt is the only place you learn how to sing correctly.
We got into a fight.
We got into a fight.
And I walked from that class like Natalie Portman in the last scene of Black Swan,
walking to Lincoln Center
like crazed
her hair is askew
like I was like
and I stormed in
and like threw my makeup
on the table
and did my makeup
and it was like
truly tish
you don't get more tish
than that
and gave like a fucking
seven out of ten performance
probably
I remember seeing Black Swan
in the Union Square
same
we saw it in that theater
and I saw it with a girl
and we were in the middle
of a play
and I was so triggered
by it
because I felt
like it was my story
that she was like
are you okay
and I was like
I have to go
take a lap
and I walked alone
like around Union Square
and all that
and just like
processed the film
not a good movie
for narcissistic drama students to be seeing I was like this narcissism story square and all that and just like processed the film. Not a good movie for
narcissistic drama students to be seeing.
I was like this narcissism story is my
story. I relate.
There's a kernel of truth to this.
Both of you should be arrested for that
behavior. I know. I fully
should have been under arrest. I also was very
sexually reckless at the time.
Oh.
Hot producer Alex was in drama school at NYU.
No.
I was creative writing
and history.
Oh, cool.
Joe Cillio.
Hot producer Joe.
That's better.
Joe was the actor.
Creative writing was cool.
I would have pegged Alex
for an actor
this whole time.
I'm sorry.
You did act.
He was a fabulous actor
and a great director.
Yeah.
Wonderful.
I took creative writing
and there was a girl
who would show up
with an entire pumpkin.
Veganism had just hit NYU. Yeah. Wow. I took creative writing and there was a girl who would show up with an entire pumpkin. Veganism had like
just hit NYU.
And this girl would show up
with like a baked pumpkin
that she'd unwrap
the tinfoil
and she would just
eat the pumpkin.
I love that.
And we would read
her.
I love her.
She's an icon.
She was iconic.
She was iconic.
Wait, it's actually
rule of culture number 17.
Pumpkins are iconic.
Especially in October. They are. There in october they are there we go they
are you know the pumpkin spice is back they are i like the kabocha squash a lot what's this that's
the it's a japanese pumpkin oh i prefer my root vegetables japanese like the japanese sweet potato

there we go
it's a dangerous thing
to cook though
oh yes
I'm from Berkeley

I don't know

everyone's like
a white person being like
let me tell you like
how to prepare tarot
but you have to
you can like
poison yourself
if you don't like
soak it or something
yeah
shit even I don't know that
wait can we talk about this
okay so
what do you think
because at this point
it seems like you've undone
all of this like
yeah
wild histrionic
like drama school
behavioral stuff I am but but
well you can look back on it now and be like oh my god i can't believe i was a nightmare
well i can't believe i was that person like whether or not you're a nightmare is up to
someone else yeah that's true that's actually very but um what do you think was the thing that
like helped you like was it just time or like like because at what point do you look back on
yourself and be like oh i can't believe I was that person.
Getting into comedy.
I was not,
I had no sense of humor.
But all throughout,
Tish was like,
this is so dumb.
You know what I mean?
You knew at the back of your head.
Yeah, like Rachel was,
like they knew they were funny.
Yeah.
But even Rachel didn't get into comedy
until after she graduated.
It didn't exist.
It like truly did not exist
in that space.
It didn't exist in that space.
Yeah, yeah.
But also we had this awful class
where they like typecast 19 year olds basically.
Oh God.
So good for a 19 year old.
So good for a 19 year old.
And I remember like that day
you'd like come in and be like,
well, people tell me
I kind of look like Kate Winslet.
Yeah.
You know?
So I guess I'm-
I guess that's the line.
I'm the next Kate Winslet. And. You know? So I guess I'm the next Kate Winslet.
And like,
I remember like Rachel
going up and some other
funny Jewish girls
and then being like,
you're funny.
You're this meets that.
You're hilarious.
To you?
Saying that to you?
No.
To like Rachel
and like the Jewish girls
that went up.
Oh God.
The Jewish girls
got to be funny
and then I went up
and I had highlights,
which I still do.
And they were like,
elegant and complicated.
And I died. that is monstrous
it was monstrous
they think they know
what they're talking about
and all they do
is get kids so in their heads
that they can't actually
find what they're meant to do
right and I literally was like
but I'm
and then I had to be like
you can't be like
I'm funny
but you know
they're like
well you don't look funny
yeah
they do that
I mean in Cap 21
we have friends that
went to cap 21 too and they they were the same thing i mean dave gets told all the time like
he he said he got told a lot like you will never ever be funny you are only handsome like he he
said he'll see even say it's like it's gross you go up there and they assess you and they
and they're out of work i mean not to shit but like they don't have jobs they're just working
in a i mean they work in a school.
Sure.
I mean, where's...
Yeah, like...
They sat us down.
I'll never forget.
They sat us down, this guy, and he pointed to all of us, and he'd go, romantic lead,
character actor, romantic lead, character actor, and then he'd go, in between.
Did you ever hear this story?
They had this dance teacher.
I guess his name was Lloyd or something.
Of course.
And he would just go, and he'd be like chorus lead funny
no career what a fucking nightmare he would just like they go they would call him real life lloyd
because he'd give you the real life and it makes you so self-involved my friend was staying
with me at the time and i had everyone from our class come over yeah and like point and be like
well you know you are you are rachel mc Which is like, no, but like you really are.
Like you're sweet.
You don't see it,
but you are.
And we all,
that's how we see you.
Holy hell.
And my friend,
she was like a journal,
she's like a hyper genius
journalist student
and was like,
why are you here?
Yeah.
This was so traumatic
and gross for me to witness.
God, I mean like,
I'm still like reckoning
with that bullshit
from high school.
Really?
And that is like,
there's no structure behind that, but like, I don't know. High school? What happened in high school? I just had like shitty adults still like reckoning with that bullshit from high school and that is like, there's no structure behind that.
But like,
I don't know.
High school.
What happened in high school?
I just had like shitty adults who like didn't know what they were talking
about.
Be like,
you will never be like the lead.
Like,
like you will never be like someone who will like be like prominently
featured on stage.
Like make it work,
make it work as like,
like milk it as a chorus member.
Do that.
Somebody said to me one time,
um,
not handsome enough to be the star,
but not ugly enough to be the star but not ugly
enough to be the best friend so hmm what and then i was like create your own work yeah wow i'm like
i'm holding my face right now you guys can see oh my god it gets worse in la um okay really yeah
but then it's like funny and you have a you know who you are. I mean, I know that I don't like to be myself.
Sure.
Auditions in LA,
I mean,
I've only done it like for one week,
but like the people who work those are their own breed of people.
Oh yeah.
They're just like,
I mean like.
You mean the people who like run the casting?
Well like,
yeah,
like I,
like I did one with,
with this woman who like worked out of a bungalow,
lovely bungalow in Silver Lake.
Oh,
you did the,
oh, that's a big deal to get to her bungalow.
Yeah.
I know who you're talking about.
I think I do too.
She has like, she has like the sort of like the short hair.
Yeah, yeah, good for you to get to that bungalow.
She didn't have any sides.
She was off book with the whole thing.
Was giving me like full like grounded realism.
Like, hey, so, and I was like, oh, we're just doing it.
Like she walked into the room,
she sits down, and then she just starts.
She started the scene.
She started the scene, and I was like,
and it was fine, and then, like, afterwards, she goes,
yeah, okay, um,
yeah, I'm gonna need you to come back in tomorrow,
okay? Josh needs, like, whatever
the guy needs to say, she was like, Josh needs
to see you, and, um, yeah, I see
what you're doing, and just, like, it was just, like, so bizarre. She was like, Josh needs to see you. And yeah, I see what you're doing. And just like,
it was just like so bizarre.
It was lovely.
Like it was a positive experience,
but I was like,
Oh,
people in LA are so specific in how they do this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's well,
they say it's harder.
It's harder than theater.
The specificity of the choices.
I see.
I agree with that.
It's true.
When you,
when you're acting on stage,
you can perform.
You can perform. But when you are acting on camera, you have to be acting. Yeah. You can't hide from the camera. It's true. Because when you're acting on stage, you can perform. You can perform.
But when you are acting on camera,
you have to be acting.
Yeah.
You can't hide from the camera.
Yeah.
There's this awful teacher
who actually,
have you heard about this drama
that happened where this woman
told a Jewish girl to be Hispanic?
Right, right, right.
Were we talking about that the other day?
We were, yeah.
Yeah, I love talking about it.
I can't like that.
But we talked about this, yeah. To a Jewish girl that she should change her name. That she should change her name to Rosa day? We were, yeah. Yeah, I love talking about it. I can't like that. But we talked about this, yeah.
To a Jewish girl that she should change her name.
That she should change her name to Rosa Ramirez.
Right, right.
I read about this.
She's based in New York, this person.
The teacher?
The teacher, yeah.
No, she's in LA.
Oh, she's in LA, okay, great.
I was in her class around that time,
and I ended up dropping out and used this to get out of it.
But I remember I showed up and wasn't fully off book,
and she looked at me and was like,
how can I critique your acting and wasn't fully off book and she looked at me and was like, how can I critique your acting
when you're not off book?
And he literally said like
the instead of and.
It was like,
yeah.
Wait,
the and?
Wait,
what are you talking about?
My line was like,
the fuck.
And it was like
procedural doctor sides
that like I'll never,
ever go out for
or cause anything to do with my life. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, the spinal fiff I'll never ever go out for or cause anything
to do with my life
yeah yeah yeah
I was like
the spinal fiffeta
and she's like
I like spinal fiffeta better
yeah
how can I critique
your acting
if you're not
if you're not off book
yeah
that is
I kind of live for that though
I know that's the thing
I was like
I kind of am like
I kind of love that
I kind of think
you're amazing.
It is.
Wow.
It's like that cold,
like authority without raising your voice.
It's just,
it's literally,
it's what you did the other day.
It's Meryl Streep in Devil Wears Prada.
She barely raises her voice.
Yeah,
she never does.
It's stillness.
Yeah.
But those,
but like I've,
but then like ever since I've thought of that,
like,
I'm just like,
I'm trying to like emulate,
but like,
but then you seem like you have to,
that has to be earned.
Like,
I can't just do that from now on.
Yeah.
Without someone being like, what the fuck are you doing?
Yeah, to be quiet and like still.
Well, that's the weird thing, right?
It's like at this stage of our career where it's like starting out,
it's like you go in there and you make a big choice.
And they're like, what the fuck do they think they are?
Like why didn't they do what they were supposed to do?
Right, right, right.
But it's like, but I'm told to make choices.
I had a really bad, my worst audition like so far was in new york like in the winter what was it what was that um
no don't say what it was but like what was the experience i showed up i had a fun rainbow sweater
that that was like trending at the time i love a trend yep 30 30 30 30 30 30 and the woman i like
sit down i brought like glasses because she was a nerd.
And then she was like, please take off your sweater.
I like was wearing like a silk and a bra.
And I was like, yeah, okay, sure.
So I took off this sweater and I like did it.
And she was like, do you act?
Oh my God.
And I was like, what?
She's like, well, I mean, you do the skits and the sketches.
But do you act?
Jesus Christ.
Scripted material.
Here's the thing.
I mean, this just goes without saying, but I'm just realizing this again now.
It's so much worse for women.
I was just going to say the same thing.
Really?
No casting director has ever treated me like that.
Never.
And I'm sorry.
Maybe a gay man.
Really?
And then I take that.
I'm like, oh, great.
We're just queening out.
It's fine.
Yeah, but sometimes it's
the maybe a gay man would be like sweetie or can we can we do this like but no and maybe commercial
commercially the directors cast directors for commercials are a little bit more like
um just like not willing to engage like it's more than an output that's kind of the nature of that
but i've never been spoken to like that
to another woman
I felt so bad
and I
because I was like
I'm not good at
multicam yet
it's hard
it was also like
I got it
you know
I was like
I got it the night before
I had like five hours
it was like eight pages
oh god
do you act
that's so annoying
you do the skits
and the sketches
yeah and I hate
when people call like
what we do skits
it's rule number 90
of culture
they're called sketches
this fall on Bravo

Elf Beauty, founding partner of
iHeart Women's Sports. Hey, I'm
Jay Shetty and I'm the host of On Purpose.
My latest episode is with Jelly
Roll. This episode is one
of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had. We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story from
being in and out of prison from the age of 13 to being one of today's biggest artists. We talk
about guilt, shame, body image, and huge life transformations. I was a desperate delusional
dreamer and the desperate part got me in a lot of trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate,
delusional dreamer. I just had such an anger. I was just so mad at life. Everything that wasn't
right was everybody's fault but mine. I had such a victim mentality. I took zero accountability
for anything in my life. I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately started
with everything but me.
It took years for me to break that, like years of work.
Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Trust me, you won't want to miss this one.
I mean, yeah.
So then comedy was this thing that you would say helped undo a lot of this.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I, when you graduate Adler,
they don't really give you like any career advice
because you're just used to playing these alcoholics.
Yeah.
Nailing them.
Nailing them.
Wow.
And so they send you across the street to one-on-one.
Do you know that place?
Oh, yeah.
Of course.
One-on-one studios.
It's on 27th.
And they have casting director workshops.
So you go to those.
You have to learn how to do on camera. Right, right, right. Yeah, you learn how to do on camera. casting director workshops so you go to those you'd like
to learn how to do on camera right right you learn how to do on camera and like i would go to those
and like cry and do those kind of things and they're like i we want to see your funny side
um but yeah it wasn't until i like moved to la and just was like really lost that got into it
how did you get into it um i my mom told me to do improv to find a guy so where did you go groundlings or ucb well
i went to groundlings and i was like they're all gay yeah groundlings is pretty gay it's very gay
it's my home it's my home yeah it's women and gays and like one straight guy from ohio well
and he's probably wonderful yeah he is it's like literally indiana ohio everyone else is gay and
women yeah it feels like the groundlings is gay it's very gay but, Ohio. Everyone else is gay and women. It feels like the
Groundlings is gay.
It's very gay.
But it's also,
well, I shouldn't say this,
but it's a little homophobic.
Are they playing stock?
Well, it's like,
Drew Droege is like
my hero.
Yeah, he's like
my divine inspiration.
I've loved him forever
and he was not
a Groundling,
which blows my mind
because I think he's
one of the most talented
people of all time.
He's amazing.
Where did he come up again?
For the longest time, I thought it was groundlings.
He was groundlings.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
And they, like, just this year are letting men play women.
Like, it's just a slower game.
Really?
That's so interesting.
But I like it there because all the teachers are women.
Right.
Great.
And gays.
Perfect.
And I like that.
And UCB's, like, it kind of kept me in LA for a while because I felt like I could develop
as like a female.
Yeah, I hear that.
I think that at UCB, it's only recently.
And when I say recently, I think in the last five or six years, it's become this place
where it's like you see more than one queer person, gay person, more than one woman.
Like now there's like a whole community large community
of people in the new york scene that are like we're queer or like even just like you see more
than you now i think is the only time and i think it did have a lot to do with having a female
artistic director where the a lot most of the teams are half women half men yeah but that was
not the case no no in la you'd like walk in and you'd be blinded by the plat you'd sort of
like see like all this you'd see like the kids or whatever yeah or the converse and then the plat
and then you'd have to like look up because everyone was so tall yep it was like men yeah
taking improv classes there i started in 2009 and it was like it was it was dicey it's already like
it's already like um vulnerable and you're anxious taking an improv class.
Because you don't know what you're doing.
And then when everyone is
a certain type of person, you're like,
oh my god, oh my god, I'm gonna die.
You know what's so interesting? I was talking to someone,
Maritza Montanez, she teaches
UCB 101 now, she's great.
But she was, I ran into her and I was
catching up with her and she was like, yeah, I'm teaching classes now.
And then she brought up something interesting where she was like
it's interesting
giving feedback to people
in one-on-one
where they don't have
the language yet
like they don't have
the language for you
to say like
oh you're not playing game
this was off game
like the only way
you can note these people
at one-on-one
is to be like
hey that wasn't funny
you know
like you can't make
a disabled joke because that's not funny. You can't make a disabled joke
because that's not funny.
It's every scene.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And when people start out,
they don't know how to not be offensive.
Right, right.
No, it's really true.
Those are my treasure troves
are those 101 classes.
Oh, God.
Even 201.
Yeah.
In terms of your own stuff
or watching other people?
Watching other people.
And I remember I had to repeat 201
for several,
I don't know, it took a while to get yeah sure and in la the people
who take those classes are like business like yeah for so long it's no one who actually wants
to do it which makes it so fun and funny so fun yeah like really old people oh yeah i i there's
always the one like really outliery person yeah yeah yeah in new york in new york you mean well in
any class i feel like there's always that one person you'll never forget yeah yeah there was
there was like a glitch i was signing up for 401 i took 401 i was signing up for 401 i took 401 with
doug moe okay and um it was like there was only eight people in the class due to a glitch.
Wow.
And like,
so that one guy
was like in every scene.
Because he just,
by nature of it,
we all did more scenes
because there was only eight of us.
And so it just became so overwhelming
that it was like,
I don't know if I can do this.
But it was just like,
yeah,
I don't know.
It breathes weird. I don't miss being in classes.
No.
I never thrived there.
I was never the person
that was like crushing it in class.
That's,
you don't want to be that.
That's what I was at NYU.
I crushed class
and then failed at life
for years.
Wow, interesting.
That's a gross thing to,
I crushed class.
No, no, no,
but that's the truth.
That's a thing.
You were like,
the teacher likes me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I would say I didn't love classes at UCB.
I mean, they're great.
They're necessary.
But I would say that I was always a good student in class.
And then in the outside world, I'd be like, whoa, I'm terrible at this.
But I still have this weird thing with improv now.
But anyway.
Yeah.
I think that is such a good – i think that's such a rich like trajectory
topography whatever for you because it's like topography it's just like i don't know you're
just like evening that out in such a nice way where it like yeah but like re-equilibrates i
don't know using all these big words yeah it comes in handy for like impressions yeah yeah
like all those years of impressionista impressionista can we like get into this like we
like i don't want to get too process oriented on this but like i have i have five beverages
amazing she does have a solid five beverages on her oh my god so let's just talk about what we
have here oh my god we have essential this is just a water bottle we have a in her own words
disgusting juice press.

Another probiotic beverage.
But it's made with cane sugar, so I'm taking my time.
Oh, God.
A cane sugar.
And, of course, a canned cold brew.
Nitro cold brew.
And I was just paid for something, so I actually spent $30.
Okay.
And then it means nothing
It means nothing
Because you just got paid
You just got paid
You just got paid
New York is so expensive
I love to have beverages
I love beverages
And then I always forget
How expensive it's gonna be
Right
Especially
What the juice press

You did
This looks like $40
This was $30
And it's bottles
And it's all bottles
That are all bad
For the environment
And here we are But it's beautiful It's beautiful I feel like it's curated Nice It it's all bottles that are all bad for the environment. And here we are.
But it's beautiful.
It's beautiful.
I feel like it's curated.
Nice.
It looks like I could post it.
It's a tableau.
Yeah, it is.
I want them in the picture
that we take.
Yeah, we can all hold one.

That's R-E-A-D-D-C dot com or wherever you get your comics.
Process?
Impressionista.
Yeah.
So when did you discover you could do them and like...
When I had to for submitting for some stuff.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So really? Oh, submitting for some stuff. Yeah.
So.
So really.
Oh, it was you had.
Yeah.
Only when you had to discover you could do them.
Yeah.
Because at UCB, they're not allowed to.
Right.
And in your mod audition, you're not allowed to.
And Groundlings, you're not allowed to.
Oh, you're not allowed to in Groundlings either?
No.
They encourage no impressions.
No impressions.
Characters welcome in mod.
We were told to do it.
Yeah. And I remember like in a class doing like Drew Barrymore or something and being like, oh, I guess I actually sound like her.
That's crazy.
That's literally crazy.
Flower films.
Flower films.
Flower films.
Flower press.
I can't do it.
Crocs.
Okay, but this is what I want to get into.
What are the first little things
that you key in on
or is it just more
of a holistic thing
where you just like
learn the whole
I think it depends
I think like
my brain was
washed
because we had
voice class for like
three days a week
at Adler
and so I usually
go to the voice first
because I feel like
I'm like
it's the only way
I feel like I'm
actually applying
undergrad
yeah yeah that's actually Kristen Wicks said the same thing they asked her about impressions really she said that really go to the voice first because I feel like I'm like, it's the only way I feel like I'm actually applying undergrad. Yeah.
That's actually,
Kristen Wicks had the same thing.
They asked her about impressions.
Really?
She said that she doesn't even watch videos
of people necessarily at first.
She listens to them.
Oh, really?
No, I watch.
It's a lot of like mindless YouTube
and then kind of like finding
what makes you laugh.
Yeah.
Like I just watch them
until something they do makes me laugh.
Yeah.
Right.
And then that,
because you have to have a take. Sure. Which I find hard. I find it easier just like be them. To just be them. Yeah. Like I just watch them until something they do makes me laugh. Yeah. Right. And then that, because you have to have a take.
Sure.
Which I find hard,
I find it easier
just like be them.
To just be them?
Yeah.
Like, okay,
like with Gigi,
for example.
That was her voice,
100%.
That was her voice.
That was watching Vogue,
21 Questions,
and being like,
what atrocious.
Hey guys.
Hey guys.
Zion really likes pizza.
And you're like,
you look like a cat goddess and the voice of like a seven-year-old boy yeah it's crazy yeah no whatever it is and it's like kind of it's like
she's from malibu and things aren't pronounced correctly and um yeah so i think my favorite that
you do is nicoman in Big Little Lies
the wig is
on point
thanks
that was
you make me laugh
that was pressure
to submit a tape
for something
wow
and I was like
I feel like I could do
Big Little Lies
and I
and I locked myself
I didn't have
HBO
in my apartment
so I drove
to San Francisco
what
I was like man
when I have a deadline
I like get manic
people do that same same same I feel like I notice in LA they're like I have a deadline, I like get manic. Yeah, yeah, same, same, same.
I feel like I noticed in LA,
they're like, I have to write
and they're like in a hotel somewhere.
Everyone's like at the Madonna Inn.
I understand it.
Yeah, so I was like,
I'm gonna go home.
That's what I did.
Three days,
like a day of it was in travel.
I literally drove
and just like watched it
and yeah, her laugh made me laugh.
I was like, we have a take.
It's so funny
with Nicole Kidman too
because like,
stunning performance.
Amazing performance.
She's incredible
but does she slip
into her own accent often?
Yes, honey.
Yes.
She does, honey
and you can't deny
but you're still,
I had that SAG ballot
in my hands
and I checked Nicole Kidman.
There you go.
There's no way way it's the scene
in the therapist's office
it's like stunning
it's absolutely
I mean
I have to go back
and watch
just that scene
it's just that one scene
that was amazing
the first one
or the last one
when they're together
the therapist actress
I forgot her name
is incredible
she was in
Angels in America
I have to remember it
she was in Deadwood
she's like
Angels in America the play or the HBO it. She was in Deadwood. She's like.
Angels in America, the play or the HBO? The HBO thing.
Who's she in the HBO?
She was like one of the figurines in the museum that comes to life and talks to Harper.
Oh, I love those people.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's amazing.
She's amazing.
But yeah, that therapist.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
No, I'm not accepting not knowing her name.
Aaron.
I think it's Aaron.
No.
And the way she just like gently prods the questions
Robin Weigert
Robin Weigert
oh that's it
yeah yeah
she's tremendous
one of the best
she just played
a fucking
great therapist
you know what I mean
and Nicole
and the way that
Nicole responds
to Alexander
in that scene
amazing
I also think
Alexander Skarsgård
he's amazing
he deserves every award
he won for that he's amazing he deserves every award he won for that
the show doesn't work without him being
terrifying and terrible
and you have to imagine that a lot of actors
were like hesitant to do something like that because
when you're too good at playing that it's like
especially now it's like you know what I mean
you get people are so stupid
they can't separate the two
he's tremendous
and then with okay and then with
Hannah Gadsby oh that was
that was voice and like that was
like my friend Casey who I shardy
party 69 yeah I love him
yeah I love shardy shardy's the best
um we were like thinking of new ones
to do and he's like I think you should take on Hannah
like we treat it like a role
like you treat it like a role yeah yeah yeah
I think you should do Hannah yeah
and that was really hard
I had to watch her a lot
and then even when we shot
the video
the first 45
like we had like
so many first takes of it
and it was
sounded like Emma Thompson
doing an impression of
oh
like it was just like
a bad Emma Thompson impression
yeah
for so long
I loved the backdrop
you guys used
it's her backdrop
and like
the stool
and one mic
and then like,
oh my God,
it was so funny.
We just do it for fun
because finding the green screen,
like finding the image
is honestly one of the most fun.
Well, the fun of it
really comes through.
You know what I mean?
It feels like Drew even.
It feels like Drew
doing a Chloe video.
Drew is my divine inspiration.
He really is.
He's carved the path.
I mean, truly like Drew
was one of these first people
in, like, this modern,
contemporary, whatever sense.
Of internet comedy.
Of internet comedy
where Matt and I were like,
who is this?
Yeah.
Chloe was huge for us.
Huge.
Me too.
Yeah.
Me too.
And when I found out
he taught at Groundlings,
I, like, lost my shit.
Yes, yes.
And ran to his class.
And he's a really intense teacher.
Oh, sure.
He barks and it's,
he's like, no, no. What did, no. Shit up, shut up, no. See, like, that. Oh, sure. He barks and he's like, no, no.
No, shit up.
Shut up.
No.
See, like that.
I love that.
That sounds similar
than like any sort of
drama school Adler.
It is.
It totally is.
I felt at home at Groundlings
because the teachers
are really like mean,
but it's funny.
In a way that is like,
that makes you want to do better
where not in a very stressful way.
I mean, it's stressful,
but it's not as destructive as like
someone at Adler
being like
I don't know
well my first
like my first impression
oh I'm being so gross
but we're going there
my very first impression
was our
Shakespeare teacher
I have this acting
teacher character
that's me just doing
an impression of this
old gay man
who taught us Shakespeare
who was like
you have to grill a penis
you have to grow a penis.
You have to grow a penis.
He'd come up in your ear playing Lady Macbeth. You have to grow
a penis.
You have to grow a penis
is the title of the book. You have to grow a penis.
Make sure to write that down on HP.
And then he'd be like, throw your pussy
in the ring.
And we were 18. And you're like, oh my god, throw your pussy in the ring. And we were 18.
Yeah.
And you're like, oh, my God, a teacher's using the word pussy.
Pussy.
If you were doing Hamlet and I was Ophelia, he would ruffle your hair and then whisper in your ear,
imagine she's sucking your cock.
But that's like, that's Sling Blade.
I know.
I feel like it would not fly today.
Oh, never.
But I loved it.
No, I mean, the thing is like,
impressions for me are the hardest.
I am not good at them.
So what I always do is I pick a take
and it's kind of like we were watching.
That's smart though.
That's like what you really should do.
It has to have a take.
Well, when it can be, when people can be like,
oh my God, that was such a good impression.
I think that's great.
Those have to have takes too. and all of yours have strong takes but the thing is like like i see people like my rudolph i don't think is a good impressionist sure but she always
has the funniest like her beyonce her beyonce is like you know it's a fine beyonce but for example
we were watching her do omarosa from way back oh my god and it And it was not. She did Omarosa? Yes. Wait, that's problematic.
Am I wrong?
No.
Wait, is Maya Rudolph half black?
Yes, she is.
Oh, okay.
Well, yep.
But the thing is,
it was like,
she did Maya Rudolph
and she spoke in a voice
that was like this.
It was mid-Atlantic
and it was so off the mark.
Wait, it's Donald Trump.
She must speak to Mr. Trump.
Her mid-Atlantic stuff
is hilarious.
It's so funny.
She's so funny.
You don't care that it's not a good Omarosa
because it's so funny.
But I remember in my JFL set,
I had a Channing Tatum,
and it's not a good Channing Tatum.
Did you dance?
I danced a little bit.
The game was that he's cripplingly insecure.
He's mad that no one saw Jupiter Ascending. No, he's mad that no one saw Jupiter Ascending.
No, he's furious
that no one saw Jupiter Ascending
and is very upset
that people like him
for his body
and not his acting.
But that like,
I actually think
he's a really good actor.
He's actually good.
He's a really good actor.
He's dropped in,
hawny.
He's dropped right in.
Hawny.
He's Adler.
No, but like,
the thing is like,
it's like for people
that cannot do impressions
like myself,
but can do original characters, it's like, you gotta gotta just like make sure you cover it up with like a fucking
take because i mean i see people like you and people that can do impressions and i'm like jesus
christ that's like a whole other fucking ball yeah yeah yeah yeah it's like it's so it's so
but you your way you're talking about it it's like you do have to go about it the same way
yeah you just you watch it a lot. Yeah.
And like sometimes they're really bad
until they're good.
There you go.
That's what it is.
You just break through
the bad until it gets good.
But then like the thing
about Chloe is that
she also just has like
a good observational lens
in general.
Like steering wheel acting
I think is so funny.
Oh that's the best.
So good.
Thank you.
So good.
You're the queen
of steering wheel acting.
Thank you.
You do it better than
who does steering wheel acting for real?
Well, okay.
So it started,
and honestly,
it started with Annette
in American Beauty.
Miss Benning.
Yeah, there's like five accounts of it.
Right.
And then they do it in Big Little Lies a lot.
Oh, yeah.
They do lots of it.
That's my favorite.
I want more!
Yeah, that's my favorite scene.
And that's when Nicole Kidman's like,
and she does her like
stop
this thing
yeah
that's hand pause
that's steering wheel
and then Elizabeth Moss did it
in Handmaid's Tale
yes
so much
she does it like four times
yeah
and that's this like
she has the wheel
and she's like
fuck
fuck
yes
fuck
fuck
it's so good
it's so good
there's just something
it's so powerful
and it's how you win awards
like I really feel like it's gonna like it might get her another Emmy.
I want it to go to Sandra Oh.
We were talking about this.
Me too.
I think it could go to Sandra and then one other person.
I mean, Elizabeth Moss' performance is so undeniable.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That it's like...
But she doesn't talk.
Well, it might be one of those things, though.
The way Sandra Oh makes words come out of her.
Oh, it's. I know that sounds really.
No, no.
She's a prophet.
She.
The way, like I would never make those words come out.
Yeah.
Like they're so authentic and emotional.
It's brand new every time.
When I did the Sandra Oh lip sync, I was like, wow.
I know, I know.
And I noticed it when you did that.
She's doing, she's making a lot, like so many micro choices.
Yeah, she's like, and the way that like so many micro choices yeah and the way
that you felt
felt
yeah
something
and then like
yeah yeah
the S's
it's so delicious
and then
and then the end
and that
will never
happen
again
and also
it's just like
you read
you look at just the words
and you think
wow if I got this
as an actor
like
what would I do
it would be so different and so much worse.
So much worse.
It's just like, ugh.
She's such fucking champion.
She uses words.
Yeah, words that are played with.
I gotta look up the other nominees because I feel like if it's not Elizabeth and if it's not Sandra, then it's someone else.
I mean, nominations.
Anyway, I don't know.
It's a great year, though.
There's a lot of steering wheel acting and sharp Objects, but I find that show hard to...
Hard to watch because it's a little triggering.
Well, it's like I would watch it eating breakfast
and then be like...
It's not good.
It's slow.
And I love Amy Adams.
I do, too.
I'm obsessed with her.
I do, too.
Not that much in this, though.
It's a tough one for me, too.
It's tough.
What do we got? Claire Foy, I think. Because it's in this though. It's a tough one for me too. It's tough. What do we got?
Claire Foy, I think.
Because it's her last season.
She's outstanding.
It's her last season as Elizabeth.
They're talking about
Ms. Claire Foy
for the Supporting Actress Oscar.
First Man.
The first reviews of First Man.
Oh, Dagan Chazzo.
Because now Venice is happening.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so now we have
all the first reviews
of the big Oscar movies.
So First Man got reviews.
Some people are raving.
Some people not. Star is Born, the reviews have come out and they're all very positive really yeah they're
saying it's actually a sleigh and a half really yeah i gotta work on that lady god you must work
on the lady god um first of all she's giving you so much material just in that in that scene alone
when he's like i just want to take another look at you there was so much material just in that scene alone when he's like, I just want to take another look at you.
There was so much material in her Netflix special.
Oh, she's giving you material for eons.
And then what else?
You know what movie I heard is good?
There's a movie coming out with Rachel Weisz, Emma Stone, and Olivia Colman called The Favorite.
Oh, that looks really good.
It's the same lobster guy?
Yorgos Lanthimos.
Oh, great.
Olivia Colman's in it?
Olivia Colman plays like a queen.
Great.
And Emma Stone,
and I guess Rachel Weisz is like just under her.
And then Emma Stone plays like the new servant
that they hire.
Okay.
Or something like that.
Like someone new to like this estate.
Gorgeous.
And it's like a comedy,
like a sort of comedy of manners.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And rave reviews.

is phenomenal in it.

Yeah, of like womanhood and hip hop.
And it was like the first time I really had a crush on somebody.
Wow.

And it's all like wonderful little like vignettes of melodies.

T-I-E-R-R-A.
Over here, I was listening to Tiana Taylor.
Oh, Tiana's great.
My co-star in the after party.

She's in it?
Oh my God.
I was just walking
past the brick
like living.
Oh my God.
She's amazing.
People are really into her.
She was really,
really, really good.
She was super excited
when they found out
she was going to be
in the movie.
You listen to
Work This Pussy, right?
No.
Bitch, you're going
to pop your genitals.
I'm going to pop my pussy.
You're going to pop
your pussy to Work This Pussy.
She came up
because I was listening
to City Girls
do you know City Girls
no
they have this song
called Period
it's like
the best song
I've ever heard
the women are coming back
yes they are
and it's not this thing
where it's like
oh there are no
female MCs
no they're here
and they're huge
I feel like Lizzo
they should just have
a concert where it's all
it's just like Lizzo
and Princess Nokia
and Jungle Pussy
Okay Princess Nokia people are like turning on her
Everyone's turning on her because she did that alternative album
Oh
Is that sort of the way it goes like
You're not allowed to do anything different
I love her I think she's very talented
People are turning on Doja Cat now
Yes
Cause she tweeted this thing out of nowhere
Where she was like
What did she say?
She was like,
am I homophobic if I use the word faggot when I was in high school?
I would just call people faggot.
Faggot, faggot, faggot.
She's playing an Azalea thing.
I didn't see that.
She's doing an Azalea thing.
Although Azalea,
how do you feel about Azalea?
Because I feel like she's one of those people where...
I love Azalea Banks.
Sorry.
I kind of love Azalea Banks too.
Because her talent sort of transcends the insanity.
Yeah. And her being... transcends the insanity. Yeah.
And her being,
her whole thing with Elon Musk,
I cannot believe.
It's so fucking funny.
It's so fucking funny.
The fact that she called
Grimes
a Pabst beer pussy
is genius.
Genius.
If we all knew,
if we all knew Azalea Banks,
she would leave rooms
and we would say,
that bitch is so crazy, but so funny.
Matt and I pulled up the video
where she called that flight attendant a faggot.
And it's hilarious.
Well, first of all, we have to say something.
That flight attendant was a faggot.
Stop.
I'm sorry, but...
Come for me.
I'm a faggot too.
I just want to repeat the way she says
it cause it's
no she goes no it's not that she goes
it's deep it's like she drops
like the draw is more slack
fucking fag
she says it from her soul
but the thing is like
here's the thing
fucking fag
let's paint a picture
in our heads
of what this is
we hear about the way
that some of these
flight attendants
treat people
we hear about
fucking racism
we hear about misogyny
you're gonna tell me
Azalea Banks being
who she is
so I would see
to her plane
maybe she's being
a little extra
that doesn't mean
you fucking not
you're blocking her
on the plane
and you're not
letting her have her bag
look she shouldn't have said it
yeah
but also at the end of the day
like what the hell
why are you abusing her
yeah yeah yeah
just let her get off the plane
then we don't have to deal
with it at all
this is all to say
Treasure Island
this track that she came out with
like a month ago
yes
it's so good
it's so good
that's the thing
her music is so good
it's so good
her music is crazy good
it's so good
it's crazy good
and what are you gonna do
like you're gonna be mad at her for speaking truth to power?
No.
I have to, I'm sorry.
I have to read, I think, my favorite tweet of all time.
I just, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Am I a problematic fave for saying that?
No.
No, not at all.
I also, I used to see her in downtown LA a lot.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Just like, and she'd be eating eggs eggs at the ace I why I was at the
ace hotel downtown LA I don't know I like weird I live down I live down there and I thought that
I would have this life where I like I get up and I go to the hotel yeah people do it here I see it
in New York all the time that's where I like that because it's right by Adler right I thought I
would live that hotel is is where we watch drag race yeah well when that when now that it's on
Thursdays we can't when it's not packed in those cou, yeah, yeah. Really? Now that it's on Thursdays, we can't because they have something else.
When it's not packed in those couches,
it's gorgeous and it's cozy.
It's the best.
It's very cool.
And it's productive.
And it's a great place for a little nightcap.
Yeah, she'd always have these eggs
and these crazy nails
and I'd see her and she'd look up
and I'd be like,
I love you, I love you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Just freak out.
I mean, her music is no joke.
No joke.
Can I just read this?
My favorite tweet of all time.
I think I've read this to you.
Jace.
This was back in,
this was right after
Anna Wintour came out.
So this is recent.
She goes,
and this was right after
Nicki Minaj wore a mermaid tail
in a music video
and then Azealia freaked out.
It's like,
people are copying me,
all this stuff.
Well, she's not.
So, I mean, sure.
As she goes,
LOL, female rap is a mess today,
yet I'm still the most original,
talented,
and the most skinny,
all caps,
drinking my skinny watermelon teeny, staring from the kitchen window
as I watch the raccoons scrounge for art in my garbage bins.
Oh my god.
That's an artful tweet.
Come on, that's amazing.
It's amazing.
She's amazing.
Although Jungle Pussy's pretty skinny.
Jungle Pussy's great.
Yeah.
Jungle Pussy's amazing.
I think...
She has these great,
she had this whole thing
about how to make
like a skin potion.
I like her
because she's like healthy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's like a healthy.
She's a healthy rapper
about like she butter
and lemongrass.
I love.
She'll give you lifestyle tips.
Yeah, I took her lifestyle tips.
Do you,

have you listened to LaKali 47?
No.
Oh.
Yes, of course.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So good. So good. Yeah, yeah. Wait, there's a there's a new one handbags oh i haven't listened to that that's
really good oh my god oh yeah all the time all the time she's amazing that's my i listen to
when i like get on a plane yes and i feel no fear that's great playing so hip-hop is your genre
absolutely yeah yeah and it started with the miseducation of yes okay let's talk about this
because my mom was like you can play play this. I like this. Oh.
So it was mama approved.
Mama approved.
So I could listen to it
all the time in the car.
Yeah.
It's an incredible album.
X Factor,
Doo-Wop.
God.
Still one of the most successful
albums of all time.
Sure.
And even that bonus track,
You're Just Too Good To Be True.
Yeah.
Whatever it is.
And it came out
like when Sheryl Crow's CDs were coming out. So it just felt like. It was not that space filled. You're true. Yeah. Whatever it is. And it came out like when Sheryl Crow CDs
were coming out.
So it just felt like
there was not that space filled.
You're right.
It was Lilith Fair.
Yeah.
It was Lilith Fair.
It was Sarah McLachlan.
Yeah.
Sheryl Crow.
Well, you had like
Lilith Fair happening
and then you had like
pop divas happening.
And then you had Lauren Hill
because that was also
so true.
That was also
it was Lilith Fair.
It was you.
You were either a woman.
You had a guitar
or you had a guitar.
Yeah. Or you had a big, big voice where you riffed the house down.
Right.
Right.
Or you were a pop princess.
Yeah.
And then there was like this space.
And I think like just even Lauryn Hill like singing and also rapping was like, oh, wait,
let's pivot and let's look at this too.
And then like it's true.
Like there is this like world of hip hop like, it's true. Like, there is this, like, world of hip-hop
that I feel was exposed.
Yeah.
God.
I mean, speaking of...
One of the best singers ever, too.
Totally.
Like, Lauren is this other, like,
very mystifying figure where it's like,
you don't really know what to make of her
because there just seemed to be
all of these prickly things that happened in her career.
Right.
Like, she came to Oakland, I remember,
and, like, didn't perform a concert
because there was
too many white people.
Oh sure.
But I like respect
I don't know
I kind of respect that.
Classically always late.
I've heard that she's
not the most pleasant person
but when you have
that talent
it's like
it's so hard to negotiate.
She did a cover
not too long
like a year ago
that was on Facebook.
Oh uh huh uh huh.
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
it was like an event
yeah an event
where she performed
for the first time
in a while
and I
I mean it chills
like her voice is insane
you put up with
people's bullshit
when you know
you're gonna get
a certain desired result
I agree
you just do
yeah right
but it's like
there's no like
mathematical way
to like figure that out
it's like Aretha Franklin
saying hi
there can be no air conditioning yeah yeah yeah you turn the air conditioning off but she's right when the queen rose there's no like mathematical way to like figure that out. It's like Aretha Franklin saying, hi,
there can be no air conditioning.
Yeah,
yeah, yeah.
You turn the air conditioning off when the queen rolls.
Yeah,
but she's absolutely right.
With,
with Lauren Hill though.
Oh,
I just want to,
I used to do this joke when like the,
the,
the handful of times I would do stand up.
I,
that I do it.
Um,
but I talk about going to this Beyonce concert with Brittany.
You remember Brittany?
Hi,
Brittany Holloway Brown,
if you're listening.
Um, Oh yeah, I remember when you went to, but I'll,? Hi, Britney Holloway Brown, if you're listening. Oh, yeah.
I remember when you went to.
But I'll be like, I'll be like, I am.
I'll be like, yes, Britney came with me.
And Britney is like the Lauryn Hill of being late to things.
And I am the Lauryn Hill of hating white people.
I thought that was a fun joke.
That's really funny.
It would like get such a mixed reaction.
Oh, I think that's hilarious.
Anyway.
But Lauren is. Yeah. So Lauren, I feel like what just came out recently? a fun joke that's really funny it would like get such a mixed reaction really oh yeah anyway um but
lauren is yeah so lauren i feel like what what just came out recently someone some producer
someone on miseducation or some close collaborator of hers like called her out in this essay and was
like she's like i don't know she doesn't have good relations with people i i think because she's not
you know she's a tough person to deal with i don't know i just feel like a lot of money tied
up in that album too is a thing. Totally.
And I feel like if all is right in the world,
we get one more piece of great work out of her.
That's what I'm hoping for.
Not that we're demanding things,
but it's just I would want that.
Yeah, it's in there.
It is crazy because even...
Really, it's nuts that really from her,
it was her work with the Fugees and then that album
and then there's really
hasn't been what
I mean
nothing
it's like
other people that put out
like iconic pieces of work
like they've followed up
like you know what I mean
right right right
Alanis Morissette
there's Jagged Little Pill
yeah
and then it's almost like
you don't even remember
anything else
but there are other albums
right right
Christmas albums
yeah
Christmas albums
oh my god
Lauryn Hill should release
a Christmas album
she had an acoustic album
that came out
really
she did an MTV Unplugged
acoustic
and it's beautiful
like it's just beautiful
I live for that
love that
I also live for her performance
in fucking
Sister Act 2
back in the habit
yes
and Cheryl Lee Ralph
was the mother
yes
so proud
she's just so iconic
and like her fashion
at the time
she's so beautiful
those music videos are like timeless fashion at the time, she's so beautiful.
Those music videos are like timeless.
Yes.
Even now, even when she like did that little video where she like did an acoustic cover of Doo-Wop, like she just wore this giant brimmed hat and looked incredible.
Incredible.
Yeah, I love it.
You have not aged.
I also heard that in concert, she rarely does the same arrangement twice.
Like she's always like rearranging things.
Like she's like, it has to
be different. It has to be...
Her instincts must be followed at all times.
Her band is good enough to change.
Wow. Because she has, of course, the best and the best
working for it. She is a musical genius.
Probably if someone were not perfect, she could
just fill them a look and they'd be gone.
Okay, you know what? This is the thing that
is solidifying all this for me, is that she
is a musical genius. And you can't... And that is the thing that you know what this is the thing that like is solidifying all this for me is that she is a musical genius
yeah
and like you can't
and that is the thing
that you weigh against
all the other behavioral stuff
virtuosic
virtuosica
and the
I think the issue is that
like a lot of people
will have that behavior
but without the talent
sure
totally
oh yeah
that's like
yeah
and they
and people put up
with even them
yeah
is it as popular in comedy?
Yes, in the Lady Gaga Netflix thing
where she's getting massaged every other take
and weeping with her soul.
I'm like, are you in that much pain?
I'm not one of those massagers.
I guess I choose to believe that she actually is
because like...
Yeah.
That's a lot.
What does that mean?
Yeah, it was a lot.
She's like a ranting,
raving crazy.
I mean,
just to weep all day
and just have somebody like,
like,
like just working here.
And there's like four,
like sometimes I'm sure
she has like three masseuses.
Yeah.
She's just like slowly weeping.
I mean,
that was so iconic for me.
That's the take though for you.
I know.
I did.
And then,
and then I felt like the time went too far.
Sure.
Just bring it back.
I mean,
that's, I have like a lot of impressions that are
not relevant but I kind of
want to just put those on.
But I think if they're good enough sometimes it doesn't really matter.
I think people do like to see a good
impression even if it comes out. That's what I did with
the steering wheel Annette thing. I was like this is a
20 year old movie but like
I have a Bill Paxton that I love
but it's not relevant
but I've been talked out of putting it in my submissions and reels I love. Yeah, it's so good. But it's not relevant.
But I've been talked out of putting it in my submissions and reels and stuff like that. It's so good.
But the thing is, I see these straight guys doing these fucking throwback impressions
and no one cares.
They do it all the time.
All the time.
All the time.
Straight men, where is their brain?
I don't know.
I see it in stand-up.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're talking about Caddyshacks still? No, I know. I see it in stand-up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, you're talking about Caddyshack still?
No, I know.
I know.
That's the thing.
It's just interesting to me
because it's like,
oh, man.
You know what I mean.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The bar's different.
Oh, babe,
it's a different bar.
Do it.
I had to fucking pull
a Michiko Kakutani
impression at my ass.
Who cares what
the references are?
Right.
I mean, look,
as long as it's good,
it's good.
That's the thing
that really matters better rather than timely
I've done some bad timely stuff
there you go yeah because you feel like you have to
you have to rather than do something like of the past
right right right right I mean look
I'm gonna whip out all my
stalwart you have no idea how good
this Bill Paxton is
and then he passed away
and it was like oh no I know
but it's a very good it was based on
the twister attraction
at Universal Studios
oh my god
so he's in the
in the twister attraction
pre-show
or Dealey Departed
that ride no longer exists
I know
he just is standing there
in the craziest stance
just talking about
how a twister
is the worst
thing you can go through
and laugh
it's got the force of a
he's just like
truly
and the way his body
is positioned
It's the funniest
wooden performance
ever of anyone.
I talked about it
on Podcast The Ride
coming to Forever Dog Network.
A new acquisition.
It's a really good podcast.
I'll give it a plug.
It's a really good podcast
where every single time
they have a different guest
and I talk about
a different theme park attraction.
And I'm a theme park bitch.
Oh you are?
I am.
Do you fuck with Coney Island then? I fuck deeply with Coney Island I'm jealous
of you because you're going there today right after that that's great I fuck deeply with it
I've done that cycle on a couple times really I'm just I think I might go tonight do it you
gotta do it one ride just do do the cyclone feel your Beyonce XO fantasy and yeah that's one reason
to do it when they go upside down. Oh, no, no.
Cyclone doesn't go upside down.
Cyclone is wood and it's all...
Oh, I like the old
like you could die one.
Yeah, you might die on it.
You might die.
You might.
But the thing is
to die on an iconic coaster.
I mean, that's
an iconic coaster.
It'd be amazing.
An amazing death.
I hope that one day
I'm on it
and it just flies off the tracks
and I go,
you love me like XO!
And I like deeply
die. Go right into the ocean and i go you love me like xo and i like deeply die go right into the ocean
and i'm like and you die in a ball of fire and i die like beyonce um chloe i am just this sounds
so obnoxious oh here we fucking go no no the day that someone does the chloe feinman impression
what happens then that that is that's a snake eating its own tail.
In Groundlings,
they'd always do these things where they'd
teach characters their impressions
and they'd be like, let's do someone in the class.
And they would always be like,
do Chloe. And it's always somebody
going like this.
I don't know what the impression would be.
I think an impression of me would be so
insulting. It would be someone screaming. It would be I think an impression of me Would be so insulting No
It would be someone screaming
It would be what you literally just did
Like
See what I mean
Can I do
Can I
Please do an impression
No no no no no no no
Do an impression
I was gonna do an impression of you
But can I ask a stupid question
Always
Where
Would it make sense
If you were to ever
Do an impression of yourself
Of myself
That's so stupid
I don't know
It doesn't work it doesn't
work i mean i know that like uh forever i like in school i i was they were always like stop smiling
while you talk northern california like because we kind of like talk like this and i don't know
i talk out of the side of my mouth a lot like Like that was just how I grew up talking. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It would probably be like,
she's being inappropriate and her dad's mad.
You know, I don't know.
I don't think I could do
an impression of Bowen Young
just because I'm around you too much.
I'm around you too much
to ever do one of you.
Really?
It's the closeness.
We don't have the critical distance.
I don't have anyone call me out.
I would appreciate it.
Oh, let me call you out.
Or like, I always make fun of my friends
and do impressions of them.
Oh, got it, got it, got it. I don't feel like I've ever had. Well, because Chloe, like you, like I would appreciate it. Oh, let me call you out. Or like, I always make fun of my friends and do impressions of them. Oh, got it, got it, got it.
I don't feel like I've ever had.
Well, because Chloe,
like you,
like I've seen you answer questions,
like yes or no questions
with like sounds
and like physicality.
So like,
like you're like,
like.
Yeah, see,
it is not like.
But like,
I'm saying like,
that's not me doing an impression of you,
but I'm saying that's you
like going to that place
defaultly in your mind which is
like so inspired
and like oh like that's like
that's where it all comes from is like thinking in those
terms of like yeah it's just very
like it's just like Chloe being like yeah it was
very oh yeah yeah oh animated
yeah because I'm animated it was weird too because like
Melissa V did a Jenny Slate impression
on Instagram
Jenny didn't like it
she didn't like it
she didn't smash
maybe she will smash
the like button
but I was just like
oh that's so interesting
to like do someone
like I don't know
Jenny Slate's like so iconic
but to do another comic
is like
is interesting
I found that interesting
it's close
yeah Melissa does
Whitney Cummins
she's really good
she's so good
and Sarah Silverman
she does comedian impressions she does Sarah Silverman those are all so good. And Sarah Silverman. She does comedian impressions.
Yeah, she does Sarah Silverman.
Those are all really easy.
I mean, Sarah Silverman,
I feel like that's like
she has a state of manner of being
which is like you.
Like it's like Jim Carrey.
The take is already there.
You know what I mean?
Jim Carrey, it's like
and he does so many like iconic things.
That's why I don't do Amy Schumer.
Right.
But also because I saw someone do it online.
I think she's friends with you guys.
She's in New York.
She did an Amy Schumer
that was like flawless. Really? And when someone does that, I don't touch it. Like I think she's friends with you guys. She's in New York. She did an Amy Schumer that was like flawless.
Really?
And when someone does that, I don't touch it.
Like Chelsea Davidson's Lena Dunham.
I was like, I'm never going to do Lena Dunham.
That's very cool that you have such respect for that to not want to go near it.
That's why no one does a Paxton.
I fucking crushed a Paxton.
It is on my old character reel, which is on YouTube.
Wow, wow wow wow
I mean maybe that'll change but for now
it's definitely like oh I can't go there
that's wonderful that is like the platonic ideal
for the craft of just having that respect
for other people sacred beach
sacred beach
I think it's time
I don't think so honey
did you not remember
I never put it all together but now we're here don't worry now we I don't think so honey yes oh my god did you not remember I never put it all together
but now we're here
don't worry
now we're here
we'll go first
so that you have some time
to think
okay great
or if you
cannot think of something
we can draw from the trouble
for you
I actually have a good one
okay you do
so this is Matt Rogers'
I don't think so honey
his time starts now
I don't think so honey
Starbucks
when you say pumpkin spice
is back
have the ingredients
ready to make pumpkin spice
because let me tell you something
when you say pumpkin spice is back guess who's gonna be the first fucking person in
line honey me the bitch and when i step up and order pumpkin spice in a venti frappuccino form
and then i have to wait 20 minutes for it honey i'm not a happy customer and i don't think so
honey when i have a fucking full conversation with the employee and we both say how excited we are about pumpkin
spice and how you know we're not basic
we're just living our life because it's good
and then this same young woman
is having a hard time finding
the ingredients it's like honey
you posted it up on the chalkboard you posted it up
on the commercials let's get ready with
the pumpkin spice oh my god
you had the audacity
to advertise everyone pumpkin spice and back.
I'm going to come.
I'm here.
So give me a pumpkin spice.
I'm waiting on.
And you know that I'm busy, honey.
It's New York.
I need my pumpkin spice right now, honey.
And that's one minute.
I'm just saying, like, if you're going to get me all up in tis about pumpkin, do you
like pumpkin spice?
I don't.
You know what?
I'm back on the cycle of liking it again.
But I think I should and I'd be a more whimsical person.
No, no, no.
Don't worry about it.
I don't think I should have gotten a venti.
Yeah.
But I do love.
Yeah, that's like a lot.
So much.
You know what?
It was so much.
I feel like I liked it and then you overdo it because it becomes like in everything.
Totally.
I want to make myself feel better
after a stressful situation.
And so then I went and got my pumpkin spice
and I was like, oh yes.
And honestly, here's the thing.
It's actually a rule of culture.
You never actually want a large.
Say it with me.
You never actually want a large.
You always want a medium, bitch.
Or a grande, if you will.
You just, you never need that much
volume or something. I swear to God we were in
Penn Station the other day me and
I swear to God you were. Yeah.
Was I with you? No. Oh I
think I was with my sister. Okay
what'd you do? Oh yeah I was with my sister
and I went to go get a smoothie
and I was like I'll have a large without looking
at the sizes and they were like are you sure you want a large? And then I looked over and I went to go get a smoothie and I was like, I'll have a large without looking at the sizes and they were like,
are you sure you want a large?
And then I looked over
and I swear to God,
the large was this big.
They downsold.
It was crazy.
I was like,
oh my God,
no,
I want a small
which is like a fucking bucket.
They downsold it.
That's crazy.
They never do that.
Because even they were human beings
and could tell that
I wasn't going to finish this.
But you guys,
you never want a large.
You never want a large. Even if they tell you it's 50 cents to finish this. But you guys, you never want a large. You never want a large.
Even if they tell you it's 50 cents more.
Well.
And then they get you in the movie theaters too.
They do.
Do you want to make that a large for a dollar more?
I mean, yeah.
No, it's a waste.
Oh, I always say no.
Are you a popcorn kind of individual?
Yeah, when I'm not like dieting.
There you go.
We always say,
I tell you the rule of culture,
popcorn doesn't count.
Popcorn is air
and this is Bowen Yang's I don't think
so honey he thinks he has one I think
so and his time starts now I don't think
so honey anyone who has not seen the Teddy Perkins
episode of Atlanta I just saw it last
night and I granted I am four and a half months late
it is one of the best episodes of
television I've ever seen in my life it is so bizarre
viscerally upsetting and funny
and funny and
tragic and I don't know.
This is not the most interesting. I don't think so, honey, but I'm saying
everyone has to watch this now.
Even if you are not familiar with the show, although
context does help,
Lakeith Stanfield turns out an amazing performance.
What a beautiful actor, beautiful person.
Hunky, hunker, hunker. I love Lakeith Stanfield.
Love Lakeith. 30 seconds.
He's like the kooky crazy guy
in the whole show,
but to see him play straight man
against Donald Glover in whiteface
is truly stunning.
Wow.
I will never forget this episode of television.
I have to go back and watch it.
There's a scene with an ostrich egg.
15 seconds.
I won't spoil it,
but it is the most viscerally upsetting thing
I've ever seen in my life,
and I wanted to throw up.
Alex, do you know what I'm talking about?
Have you seen this? You have to watch it.
It's so good. Five seconds.
Get thee to a funnery and watch
the Teddy Perkins episode
of Atlanta. And that's one minute. Less than I don't think so, honey
and more just a statement of
appreciating a television show. And that's okay.
And that's okay. And you know what? And that's okay.
And that's okay. It's whatever you want to make it.
I haven't seen that episode, so
that was an I don't think so honey on me.
Oh, you need,
have you watched any of Atlanta?
It's on my list.
Yeah.
You would fucking stand for Zazie Beetz.
You would.
I'm sure I would.
Oh, she's fabulous.
Do you watch Atlanta?
I have a crush on Donald Glover.
Yeah, you should watch it.
He's so good.
I should run to watch it.
He is in Whiteface.
He plays this eccentric billionaire type of person and my
god he's incredible well
it's it's truly insane
this episode anyway so
now we have someone to do
and I don't think so
honey that has previously
subverted the form by
doing her I don't think
so honey on Greta Gerwig
and as Greta Gerwig I
know I could do it as
another person I could do
but I maybe I won't but
listen we're gonna find
out right now and this is Chloe Feyn but maybe I won't. But listen, we're going to find out right now.
And this is Chloe Fineman's
I Don't Think So Honey.
Her time starts now.
Okay, I Don't Think So Honey,
white man who says
he cannot get through Nanette.
Four guys be like,
I tried to watch it,
but like, I don't know.
I only lasted 30 minutes.
The whole point of Nanette
is the 30 minutes
that come after
your fragile male ego
that cannot stand her.
First of all, the first half is hilarious.
There's teacups and
salsas and all sorts of jokes.
And the fact that you can't even get past that
because everything has to be catered to you
and your dick humor.
Go fuck yourself.
Go fuck yourself.
The fact that you don't get it or you find her boring
or it's like not... Get out of your fucking comfort zone.
You're never going to learn.
Open your eyes and your ears.
I cannot stand,
I cannot stand
because you don't find her attractive
or something.
That is why.
It's really why.
You don't like gay jokes.
You're never going to,
you're never going to expand.
You're never going to be woke
and you can't mansplain Nanette to me,
which is ultimately
what you probably want
to be able to do.
It's funny because, five to do it's funny because
five seconds
it's funny because
I just thought it was boring
like I don't know
I didn't really get it
I didn't really get it
and you know what
100%
we've actually talked about this
a bunch
but the thing is like
you guys
yeah
it's just not
it is for you
and it's just not for you
to explain
it's not for you to explain
it has
yeah like
two I came yeah three guys
since being in new york were like yeah that i tried to watch it god and like why bring that
in can you just compliment your fucking impression and also like it really gets good if you keep
watching yeah i mean but she's really a fine wine that she met yes you're talking you mentioned something that i
think is very astute which is the fact that you know because they can't and don't fuck her or like
they have no desire to do that because she's not for them or like she's not presenting herself
sexually for them like there is a block there yeah it's such a thing and the thing about and
there's even some backlash i think think, from even like weird places.
Like, I think I've heard queer people be like, I don't know.
Or just people be like, is it comedy, though?
It's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Like, you're not going to be the one to like define the parameters of what this is. I know.
And if this is hurting the form.
No.
Are you kidding me?
No.
You're going to be the person who died and made you king.
Like, I don't understand the backlash behind sex aside.
I don't understand the backlash behind people saying, well, it's not comedy.
But it absolutely, the first 30 minutes, which I kept rewatching for the stupid impression,
is hilarious.
It's so funny.
Joke after joke after joke.
But then she brings it all back together towards the end where it's like, oh, this is a masterfully
done piece.
But even if it weren't funny in the way that like people need it to be you cannot be
the gatekeeper of someone going on a stage and performing art like that's just that's what this
is you guys you know that's what we all do you go up there you get a reaction the way that you can
yeah and and if you don't understand that reaction or aren't giving that reaction the way other
people are or couldn't get that reaction in that same way that doesn't mean it's bad or aren't giving that reaction the way other people are or couldn't get that reaction in that same way
that doesn't mean it's bad or doesn't deserve
a place it just means it's different
and there should be more different kinds of art
I think that's what's killing people
is that they don't see it in that narrow way that
they've had to come up or they've
told they were told is the way you succeed
so it's like how could this person be succeeding
I also am like really
inspired by her thing
to not have to
self deprecate
absolutely
I never even thought
about that
I never thought about it
until she like
it's so true
it's true
did you run into her
a million times at JFL
I saw her order something
and I was scared
I was genuinely
like starstruck
I was like
we were in an envelope
we were in an elevator
with her
and we didn't even
I would have lost my shit
I was like
I can't believe how i am
not like that's what's so cool about jfl yeah tiffany haddish came out of an elevator in a
ball gown yeah faint jesus i would have sparkly red ball gown it was crazy to all be sharing the
same space with people like that yeah it's so so crazy um but just the fact that she was like
treated poorly there i just she was? Oh I did not hear
Like stand ups
Like she got heckled
At this show that Lisa Trager hosted
Her own gala
She was heckled at her gala?
By who?
What's that?
Whom?
And fucking
Lisa Trager hosted this other show that she was on
And then the comic who went up after her was like Yeah Hannah Gaspi hasn't said a fucking funny Trager hosted this other show that she was on and then the comic who went up after her
was like yeah
Hannah Gadsby hasn't said
a fucking funny thing
in her life
like
ew
I can't
and he's proving
her whole fucking point
heckle culture needs to end
coming
I've been at three
stand up shows
this week here
and everyone is heckling
ew
really
I never see it
I'm in such a bubble
I'm not in like my
I'm not in the bubble
that I feel safe in
but these like straighty shows
yeah heckling heckle city I hate that if they were heckling um do you know I'm not in the bubble that I feel safe in, but these straighty shows. Heckling. Heckle City.
I hate that. They were heckling.
Do you know Yedoya?
Yeah. I love him.
He was hosting. They were heckling him.
Oh my God. And then this guy would heckle, and then this
girl would turn around and high-five
him. Oh, well, have fun
going back to whatever the fuck
