["Love It or Leave It"]
What's up everybody?
Welcome to Love It or Leave It Live
from Flapper's Comedy Club.
Jay Leno wanted to be here tonight,
but it says here he got hit by a bear.
What that means?
Guys, that's some bad luck lately.
We've got a great show for you tonight.
Sarah Silverman is here.
Help us make some brave decisions.
Lamorne Morris and Esther Prowitzki are here
to do some people watching. Then we'll wrap it up by turning it over to you,
our dear audience, to hear your teeniest, weeniest problems.
So start thinking, what is your smallest problem?
I don't know about big problems, got enough big problems.
Tiny, tiny little problems.
But first, let's get into it.
What a week!
Breaking news, James Comey has entered his Luigi era.
White House officials have accused former FBI head James Comey of calling for Trump's assassination
after he posted a now deleted photo of the numbers 8647 spelled out in seashells with
the, this is real, with the caption, cool shell formation on my beach walk.
Yes.
Yes.
All right. No, yes.
All right, no, no.
For when you saw one set of footprints in the sand,
that was when I was leaning out of the window of the book repository.
Said a White House spokesperson on X,
while President Trump is currently on an international trip to the Middle East,
the former FBI director puts out what can clearly be interpreted as a hit
on the sitting President of the United States, a message etched in the sand.
This is a deeply concerning message to all of us and is being taken seriously.
Just James Comey casually calling for my dad to be murdered, said Don Jr.
Christie Noem, head of Homeland Security, called it a threat of assassination.
And with that, my work here is done, said Hillary Clinton.
Shaking sand out of her kitten heels.
But, she got him.
But, but lest you think Comey has gone full Antifa,
he deleted the post and apologized,
claiming he didn't realize the number 86
was associated
with violence," said the former FBI director.
In MS-13, we just use it as a friendly greeting.
Speaking of friendly greetings, on Sunday, ABC News reported that the Trump administration was preparing to accept a $400 million luxury Boeing 747
from the royal family of Qatar,
all because Trump came closer than Emmanuel Macron
in guessing the retail value without going over.
You got to give him credit. It's a good bribe.
You give me a free private airplane,
you can own me no problem.
I don't have to go to LAX anymore.
Please, tell me my new opinions.
And now the Emiratis are like,
Qatar got on the plane, what's left on the registry?
Golf clubs, dish towels, fuck, we're fucked.
Under the arrangement,
Trump would use the plane as Air Force One,
but at the end of his time in office, it would be transferred to Trump's presidential library.
Oh, thanks, said the librarian, a plane.
(*laughter*)
Complicating all of this is that Boeing is currently upgrading
two VC-25B planes to each serve as Air Force One,
but blew past their initial delivery deadline of 2022.
The planes are now expected to enter service by 2027.
Boeing got caught up pursuing its other passion project, making sure their other planes stopped
falling out of the sky.
If you love what you do, you won't work a day in your life.
A spokesperson for Boeing explained, we'd have delivered these a lot sooner, but you
know what they say, the customer's always right, so now we need to figure out how to
get the doors to stay on.
He keeps sending back the planes.
Republicans hemmed and hawed about how to react to Trump's big shiny new gift, but not
Senator John Kennedy.
I trust Qatar like I trust a rest stop bathroom. I...
Honestly, this is why we can't have nice things.
The rest stop bathroom isn't asking for our trust, Senator.
It asks nothing of us.
But piss.
Kennedy went on to say this.
With those guys, you know, trust in God but tie up your camel.
Got him.
Got him.
Rand Paul agreed, telling Fox News' Jesse Waters.
See, I've spent time trying not to sell weapons to Qatar because they have human rights violations
of their people.
I really haven't been a big fan.
And I wonder if our ability to judge their human rights record
would be clouded by the fact of this large gift.
Oh, Rand Paul, don't worry about that.
Trump will ignore human rights abuses for free.
You don't have to pay him for that.
Senator Rick Scott also gave it a thumbs down,
telling reporters,
I'm not flying on a Qatari plane.
They support Hamas.
I don't know how you make it safe."
Yeah, well, Rick, doesn't sound like
you're going to be invited on the plane.
So you're a little bit like Sonia saying
she'll be in Phuket for Luanne's wedding.
I...
I watch Housewives now,
and it's becoming my whole personality.
Yeah.
But Sonia did get to save the day.
All right.
So it's a little bit more complicated a little bit nuanced over on CNN
Scott Jennings pointed to the real villains
And I think there's a reason that numerous Republicans have
Encouraged him not to go through with it today because they know the optics of it
Given his previous statements about cutter and given what we know about their funding of terrorism. That's that absolutely true. At the same time, I actually think there's a larger scandal
going on here, which is that Boeing cannot deliver
an Air Force One.
Yeah, man, totally.
It's about the optics, the corrupt optics,
like complaining about arson because it's so bright.
Treated Trump's former rival, Nikki Haley, accepting gifts from foreign nations
is never a good practice,
especially when that nation supports
a terrorist organization.
Regardless of how beautiful the plane may be,
it opens a door and implies the President and U.S.
can be bought.
If this were Biden, we would be furious.
Okay, but what if the plane were very, very beautiful? It's just a reminder to the podcast audience at home,
which is vast.
Check out our YouTube.
Give us a like, give us a subscribe,
really helps out the show.
You could appreciate this incredible joke.
And you're right, accepting bribes does imply that you'd accept bribes.
He accepts bribes.
The implication is that he can be bought because he has been bought.
Let's see that beautiful plane again.
For those listening at home, it's basically hard to describe, but it's a very sexy plane.
It's a highly sexualized plane with boobs.
I'm sorry, but you're not on the YouTube,
but it's the face is the nose of the plane
and the wings are kind of like wings on an angel
on a kind of a boobed plane woman.
For the Navy.
Oh, it's a blue angel.
Oh, like the Navy blue angels. I'm an idiot.
Thank you so much. House Speaker Mike Johnson offered this defense of Trump.
The reason that many people refer to the Bidens as the Biden crime family is
because they were doing all this stuff behind curtains. Whatever the President
Trump is doing is out in the open. They're not trying to conceal anything.
Yeah, really smart point,
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.
Crime is legal as long as you do it out in the open
for all the world to see.
Like drugs in San Francisco or 9-11.
Stupidest fucking point I've ever heard.
Trump defended his Sky Palace in a true social post writing,
so the fact that the Defense Department is getting a gift
free of charge of a 747 aircraft to replace the 40-year-old Air
Force One so bothers the crooked Democrats
that they insist we pay top dollar for the plane.
The Dems are world class losers.
No one is denying that the Democrats
are world-class losers.
But the plane is also a bribe.
Two things can be true at the same time.
Trump continued to defend the offer to reporters on Monday.
So, I think it's a great gesture from Qatar.
I appreciate it very much.
I would never be one to turn down
that kind of an offer.
I mean, I could be a stupid person
and say, no, we don't want a free,
very expensive airplane.
But I thought it was a great gesture.
Also, check out this badass giant wooden horse they gave me.
But here's the stupidest part of this whole saga.
To secure and upgrade this plane would cost the U.S. over a billion dollars, and the retrofit
would take years.
And that's just to take out all of the Qatari toilet camps and then put in our patriotic
all-American toilet camps.
It really must be so frustrating for Trump.
He wants a plane.
If it's to become Air Force One, he can't use it.
But if it's just to be a private jet, he can't accept it.
It's a real gift to the Magi situation.
If the Magi were heading to Bethlehem to kill Jews.
We didn't know if that joke would play
at Flappers and I'm Prattier.
Let's see that sexy plane again.
All right.
The plane was merely the most interesting of the corruption schemes playing out as Trump
set off for Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.
In just the past year, the Trump Organization, currently run by Don Jr., Eric, and what has
to be another person. I announced the development... this has to be a third person we don't know about.
I announced the development of a Trump Tower in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and two other Trump
branded properties in the capital city of Riyadh.
The difference between a Trump Tower and a Trump branded property is important.
Only an authentic Trump Tower comes with a Rudy Giuliani and the Belfry.
The Trump Organization has also announced a new Trump Golf Club at Qatar and an 80-story
Trump Hotel and in Dubai.
Last month, the UAE fund invested $2 billion in World Liberty Financial.
That's the Trump family crypto brand.
And that's just a few of the brazen corrupt business deals that Trump and his dipshit
sons are pursuing.
It isn't even close to all of it.
If we tried to go through all of it,
that would be the whole show.
And what am I supposed to say
to the rest of the performers we booked?
Sorry, small family of golden retrievers who can juggle.
You've been bumped for the horrors.
And we have so much else to talk about,
like the fact that Saudi Arabia deployed
a mobile McDonald's for our big special voice visit. Oh my god.
Wow.
It's awesome.
If Saudi Arabia ever wants to take me out Khashoggi style,
this is how they'll get me.
Laughter.
Laughter.
Anyway, it's no wonder Trump couldn't help but fawn over
Saudi Arabia's ruler, Crown
Prince Mohammed bin Salman, or MBS, at Tuesday's Saudi Arabia-U.S. Investment Forum.
One of our great, great partners, no matter who we look to, and we have great partners
in the world, but we have none stronger and nobody like the gentleman that's right before
me. He's your greatest representative.
Greatest representative.
And if I didn't like him, I'd get out of here so fast.
You know that, don't you?
He knows me well.
I do. I like him a lot.
I like him too much. That's why we give so much, you know?
Too much. I like you too much.
I'll give so much, you know? Too much.
I like you too much.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Be careful, Don, they got laws about that kind of thing
over there.
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
There was a time when unabashedly praising
the leader of an authoritarian Middle East regime
was frowned upon.
In fact, I'm old enough to remember what happened
when Barack Obama greeted this guy's uncle
with what they described as a bow.
While President Obama didn't kiss the guy, he did seem to bow.
Look at that.
But the White House says, no, no, no, no.
He wasn't bowing.
He was just double handshaking to a smaller guy.
You saw it, you make the call.
There were editorials.
This was in the Washington Times.
By bending over to show greater respect to Islam,
the U.S. president belittled the power
and independence of the United States.
Republicans went nuts.
Trump mocked him.
And all Obama did was bow.
Trump got down on his knees
and let this guy tickle his uvula.
They said Obama went on an apology tour. And it's true, Trump isn't saying sorry, but that's just because his mouth is full.
Flappers.
All right.
Back at home, Trump cruelly revoked the temporary protected status afforded to Afghan refugees.
These are the people who risked their lives to help American troops during the war
and who might face brutal retribution by the Taliban
if they're sent back to Afghanistan.
Said one Afghan American who had served as an interpreter
with US special forces,
it's a death penalty for them if they return.
Here's Deputy Secretary of State Chris Landau
explaining why the White House
has shut down refugee programs
and is threatening to deport Afghan allies
while welcoming refugees
from South Africa. There are many people who are, who fit the criteria of seeking help,
who are fleeing persecution, Afghans for example, I mean they live in a country run by the Taliban,
but they're being denied refugee status. So I'm wondering why is such an exception been made for the Afrikaans?
The cause, of course, was subject from the very beginning to exceptions where it was
determined that this would be in the interest of the United States.
Some of the criteria are making sure that refugees did not pose any challenge to our
national security and that they could be assimilated easily into our country.
We actually have footage of the Trump administration
determining whether a refugee is eligible to resettle in the US.
Is it white?
It's white. I haven't seen that Elvis movie.
Maybe I will.
Speaking of white people, on Mother's Day,
Health Secretary R.F.K. Jr. posted photos of himself
and his grandchildren swimming in D.C.'s Rock Creek,
where swimming is not allowed because the creek is full of sewage. This is actually important because while there are many theories, no one has ever
actually seen the place where Kennedys spawn.
I'm sorry, I think I'm actually thinking of eels.
That's about eels.
Polluted runoff flows into the creek when it rains and the water is heavily
contaminated with E. coli and other bacteria, this in addition to the big disgusting R.F.K.
Jr. it has floating in it.
The water is so bad it's actually known in D.C. restaurants as filter tap.
While Trump was gallivanting in the Gulf and R.F.K.
Jr. was splashing around in human shit, House, unveiled their $4.5 trillion tax break
and Medicaid cut bill that would lead
to 10 million people losing their health insurance.
The bill would create work requirements
for Medicaid recipients, even though the vast majority
of Medicaid recipients already work,
have a disability, are very sick,
are in school, or are taking care of a family member.
People on Medicaid would also have to prove
their eligibility every six months instead of once a year.
The bill would also create higher out-of-pocket costs
for most Medicaid recipients,
including those who are barely above
the federal poverty line.
Quick, what do you think the federal poverty line is
for a single individual?
It's $15,650.
You make 16,000?
Pay up, you fucking fat cat.
The bill would also shorten the open enrollment period
for the Affordable Care Act,
all because coming out and saying
that we're throwing people off of their healthcare
is politically toxic,
so they're going to use paperwork to do it anyway.
The Trump administration's position is very simple.
All bureaucratic red tape should be ripped out
of the federal government
and wrapped around poor people mummy style.
We're in the dark phase of this.
Get back. I see what you want.
You want jokes about his stupid fucking plane.
As of this recording, the bill is in limbo
because Republicans have no margin for error
given their slim majority.
Some Republicans think it goes too far to cut health care.
Others don't think it goes far enough.
And Nancy Mace just saw a woman with a strong jaw
finish a big gulp.
So now she has to spend her afternoon in the vents
above the ladies' room, so she's out.
And speaking of crawling around in the vents of the Capitol,
we are heading back to D.C.
This week, a hot new bum shell enters the...
Stop. That doesn't make any sense.
We're doing a special World Pride show on Friday, June 6th
back at our home at the Lincoln Theater,
and this time it's a special crossover event
with Tim Miller and Sarah Longwell from The Bullwork.
It's Jetsons' Flintstones,
but everybody's gay-er than George Jetson.
The event is called Free Andree,
a crooked, bullwork, World Pride fundraiser.
It'll be a night of venting, laughing, commiserating, venting,
and most importantly, raising money
for the Immigrant Defenders Law Center, which is representing
makeup artists and actor Andres Hernandez Romero and others who were disappeared to
El Salvador without so much as a hearing. Because this Pride is about fighting for the
day when we can stop flirting with autocracy and go back to just flirting. It's a serious
cause but it's going to be a fun show with special guests you won't want to miss. Tickets
are going to go fast so please don't wait,
or the bulwark freaks will scoop them up.
We're donating, I love my bulwark freaks.
We're donating all ticket proceeds
to the Immigrant Defenders Law Center,
so get your tickets now at crooked.com slash events.
That'll be Friday, June 6th at the Lincoln Theater.
Well, more to say about what we'll be doing
around the show to keep the focus on freeing Andre
and keeping the pressure on the administration,
so stay tuned, but for now, get those tickets.
In other news, a study found...
This is no transition, just deal with it.
In other news, a study found that wild chimpanzees
use medicinal...
medicinal plants to tend to their own and each other's wounds.
Oh, but when I chew up a bunch of leaves
and apply them to my wounds,
I'm disturbing the other diners
at this pop-up Saudi McDonald's.
About to get kicked off Medicaid?
Try chip medicine.
If you're able to get to Western Central Africa
and aren't too sick to climb trees,
it's free, chip medicine.
Speaking of acting like a bunch of aides,
the Warner Brothers Discovery announced that
it will rename their streaming platform yet again, changing it back from Max to HBO Max.
They realized that naming it after half of Cinemax was not as good as naming it after
HBO.
They cracked it.
So I'm sorry to tell all of you this, but HBO Max is detransitioning.
It's...
Detransitioning is real.
HBO Max is detransitioning.
Tops announced that their Pope Leo XIV trading card outsold cards for LeBron James and Victor
Wemba Nyama, though Otani is still
their top seller, which isn't surprising,
even though Pope cards generally have low HP.
Their attack and abilities are insane.
Got to get a Pope on your deck.
Morris the Alligator, who appeared in Happy Gilmore,
among other films and TV projects, has died at a gator farm in Colorado.
He was at least 80 years old.
But he died doing what he loved, fentanyl.
["Fentanyl." Laughter.]
Said the gator farm's tearful owner,
he started acting strange about a week ago.
He wasn't lunging at us and wasn't taking food.
Continued the owner owner wiping away tears.
Ah, shit, not supposed to get these new alligator boots wet.
And finally, thank you.
And finally, British historians have verified a copy of the Magna Carta that Harvard Law
School bought decades ago for $27 is actually an original from the year 1300.
And now in 2025, it's worth rereading.
Let's see that plane one more time.
All right.
Coming up next, Sarah Silverman.
Hey, don't go anywhere.
There's more of Love It or Leave It coming up.
Today's episode is sponsored by Acorns. How do you feel when the market gets bumpy? Hey, don't go anywhere. There's more of Love It or Leave It coming up.
Today's episode is sponsored by Acorns.
How do you feel when the market gets bumpy?
Oh, man.
It's tough.

Look, investing is important.
There's a lot of people out there talking about all kinds of fads and there's people
who do day trading and crypto and a bunch of stuff.
But the most important thing is that if you can, you should start putting your money away
carefully, safely, because it goes over time and you can't get the interest back when you
start investing later.
You'll really regret it.
That's true.
Because even though you're putting in less because maybe you don't have as much because
you're younger, it'll grow in time much more because true even though you're putting in less because maybe you don't have as much because you're younger
It'll grow in time much more because you invested when you're younger I that I started doing my name the government time time the only thing you don't make more of

We're back.
Please welcome to the stage, you know, your lover's incredible Sarah Silverman.
Hi.
Hello.
Hi.
How's your 2025 so far?
Oh, what a year.
So fun.
Just really easy and the news has been great.
Yeah.
Are you good at compartmentalizing or not compartmentalizing?
Where are you at?
Does it creep in at random moments or are you able to put it aside?
I'm pretty good at it.
I'm very good at compartmentalizing, actually.
That's how I got through childhood, probably you too.
But you were like, hmm.
Yeah.
Well, I've been trying to figure out how to handle this world.
And I think, well, everything's gone to shit. It really feels like, I don't know,
like the late 70s Iran maybe. People are like, this can't happen here. Yeah, no, it can't.
It's very, absolutely can't. And am I just talking in fractions of sentences?
No, it's good. I'm more thinking about like, it's also there's vaguely a lot of like,
warm neutrals are coming back too,
so the 70s thing makes sense.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
Color, I just think fashion-wise,
it's a lot, you know,
it's like we're leaving behind the grays and the beiges,
and writing more of a- I'm loving the flair.
Right, things are coming back,
the jeans are getting wider,
the music's getting louder,
things are happening.
Beards are back, wild beards,
which I do think is a sign of the apocalypse.
You know?
Do you?
Yeah, you have a president with a beard,
you're at war, you know?
I don't know, because you know who has a beard right now
and I'd love him to be president.
You're talking about Tom Segura.
No, you're, oh, Pete Buttigieg, Pete Buttigieg, yeah, yeah.
Pete, Pete's beard.
There needs to be a new Instagram account
called Pete's Beard or something.
It's not Chastain. That would be...
That doesn't make sense at all.
Doesn't make sense at all, because they're both men.
Yeah.
They're both men.
Yeah. Well, that's the secret is he's straight.
This guy, he loves pussy,
but he's trying to keep that from America.
That's his dirty secret.
Insidious.
That's Pete's dirty secret.
Yeah.
Loves it.
Loves pussy.
Yeah, I can't get enough.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Of pussy.
Of pussy.
It's fun, right?
It's fun.
It took me a while to work up to say it.
Just say it.
Jess, will you say this right now?
I love pussy.
Say it.
Yell it out. So Bernie will you say this right now?
I love pussy.
Say it, yell it out.
So Bernie Sanders is on the move again.
It's a little bit hot.
There's a new Avengers movie, so it's almost like 2019 again.
As a generally optimistic person,
are you inspired by the Bernie?
Where's your head at?
I find it to be a small bright light in a hellscape.
You know, yeah, it's amazing.
And their crowds are huge.
They are the biggest crowds.
No, yeah.
It's inspiring and exciting.
Yeah, it's a good.
I find it to be good.
And your parents died nine days apart.
Yes.
Thank you for bringing it up.
It was actually a murder-suicide.
Wow.
I'm always starting those, but I can never finish them.
I think it's an ADHD thing.
I start the murder-suicide and then I forget what I'm doing.
I've literally never finished one.
I start them all the time.
So, you're just a serial killer.
Whatever.
I mean, you can put a label on it.
I'm not into labels.
Right.
It's true.
That's why, because people are trying to add serial killer to the pride flag, and I'm like...
Yeah.
I mean, I guess it's queer in a sense, but I don't think it's right.
So I don't use that label.
Right.
Okay.
You're a murder-suicidist, but you only go halfway.
Right. Because I'm like problem-focusing. Yeah. That's why I'm trying to get Adderall,
but it's hard to get. Right. You're like, no, no, no, I'm trying to kill myself and I need the,
I need the oomph to... Yeah. I keep just... Yeah, because I'm so distracted by TikTok.
My attention span is nowhere. Oh, but sorry, I interrupted.
It was your parents' murder-suicide.
Oh, yeah.
No, they didn't murder suicide, unfortunately.
But no, my stepmother was very ill and she died,
and my dad died nine days after just wanting to be with her.
And I know.
And this means you're killing in the, and you get a lot of, ooh.
Ooh.
Ooh.
This is what my special's about.
Yeah, I didn't bring it up for no reason.
You didn't bring it up for no reason.
I have a special coming out Tuesday,
but you know, we don't have to be here for this.
I've been, thank you.
It's called Post Mortem. It's on Netflix.
But honestly, I've been shoving it down people's throats
all week, and I'm exhausted of myself.
I'm sick of myself.
I want to hear John Lovett talk about...
Do you think my parents will die?
What is your show about?
What?
How are you planning on your parents dying?
Oh, that's such a... Thank you for asking.
Um, I'll just tell you that I have said to my father,
joking, and this is a joke,
if mom dies first, you better kill yourself.
She will. She will.
This is what I told my dad. He was being so, such a pain in the ass like a few years ago.
And I go, you just assume you're going to die first, but Genesis, because you're killing
her.
And then she did.
How funny is that?
Well, right, right.
Just very close together though.
Yeah, nine days.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's tough. Yeah.
That's tough.
You know, it's interesting,
because my mother exercises in diets
and she does all, you know, Zumba,
she is measuring cottage cheese all the time.
My mother has been measuring out,
there's a certain kind of woman
who was exposed to a certain kind of diet culture
in the like 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond
that has been measuring cottage cheese
for 50 fucking years.
And I'm just like, the cottage cheese,
no matter what's going on, never gonna be your problem.
There is a scale industry
that specializes in coke dealers and Jewish mothers.
Yeah.
Did your mother measure out things on her scale?
My stepmother was very conscious of her, you know, like, exercise and food.
My biological mother couldn't give two shits.
Oh.
Come on, let's get some energy in the room.
Who's excited about Love it or leave it?
Are you gonna love it or are you gonna leave it?
Right?
Come on.
I'm...
And we're back down.
Bring it down.
I like this energy.
I think it's important as opposed to always bring things down to zero.
Well, you gotta bring it down because that's how you prove you have it.
Because you can get them back.
Right.
Bring them down to fucking zero.
Um, are you afraid to die?
See, I get them back.
I don't want to die, uh, I don't want to, to quote my dad, I don't want it to hurt. But I'm not really afraid to die, but I don't want to drown.
I don't want to die in some climate disaster.
I don't want it to hurt.
Okay.
Yeah.
I don't want to die at all.
Yeah.
You won't, doll.
I probably won't.
You think I won't?
I want to be like, you know that guy that's trying to live forever but also seems to be
fighting with various exes?
That's what I want.
I want a kind of crazy live forever energy.
I want to be like, no, I have a secret plan to live forever and it does involve eating
one hour a day, sleeping in a dark room, taking all kinds of supplements, traveling with an
air filter.
I want to live forever in the worst way possible.
I want my life to be an endless misery.
I feel like that's achievable for you.
Yeah.
Yeah. Because like being in here, I feel like for most people, being inside of my head for
a day would feel like an interminable nightmare experience that they'd want to end. And I think the worse life feels, the longer it feels.
So in a sense, I've already lived forever.
Because happy people, you're dead.
You know, it's like, it's bar mitzvah, wedding,
graduation, grandkids, dead.
But if you're unhappy, you're like, can't wait.
["The Pitch"]
["The Pitch"]
["The Pitch"]
Watching any TV shows?
Yes.
I'm very passionate about running towards joy
in these times, and television is my joy.
What are you watching?
All depressing things, though.
The pit...
Paradise?
Fucked up. So fucked up.
I don't think the pit should have two T's.
Well, it's for...
This bothers me visually.
Can I ask you this?
Does Pittsburgh have two T's? Yeah. That's why
it's it's short for Pittsburgh. They put french fries in the sandwiches there.
Oh. So good. What's it called? Primantes. Oh yes. They're really good. I'll go there
in the morning. They're open in the morning because there's you could go in
the morning. Some people don't know that but you can go in the morning. They're open in the morning. Because there's... You can go in the morning. Some people don't know that, but you can go in the morning.
And you can have a sandwich with french fries in the morning.
And then that's it.
And then you've eaten that in the morning.
And then so you can have another lunch later if you want.
If you want. If you really... If you want.
I want to hold you right now and tell you it's all okay.
Here's the crazy thing. jokes aside, jokes aside,
I am not joking.
I've like never been happier.
Really, actually true.
But here's the thing, can I, so I don't know,
like I feel like because I've spent so many years
being depressed and in various ebbs and flows,
ups and downs, but always below the,
I think a good baseline.
So it's the kind of thing where it's like,
I was always under water.
And so when it was sunny, but I was underwater,
I was like, oh, I'm outside.
I wasn't.
I was drowning the whole time.
I just sometimes I couldn't see all the way to the surface
because I was with the animals
with the little light at the end.
You know what I mean?
And the, you know, and seeing the shipwrecks.
But sometimes I was like, look at that. There's sun up there. I've made it. I was not out of the
water. I was under the water. And now I'm above the water and fascism is happening.
So it's a really weird experience because the news is bad and it feels bad. But I mean, I feel
secure in the life around it.
But then I think, but there's probably a bunch of Jews that felt that way in 1934.
Absolutely.
Business is booming.
I got a feeling, gold.
Gold.
We've really made it.
No, this department store will be here forever.
That's right. And you know what that sound means?
What?
The audience going, ugh.
Like most people here at Flappers tonight, I'm afraid to die, but I'm not afraid to save,
which is why we want to end with a few exciting funeral opportunities currently available
for the forward thinking individual.
And you'll tell us if it's worth the price.
I will?
Yeah.
OK.
Just to note, my staff used my actual personal information
to get these estimates.
These are real estimates for what it would cost to bury me.
First up, human composting.
Unlike traditional cremation, which would reduce me to bones and ash, soil transformation First up, human composting.
Unlike traditional cremation, which would reduce me to bones and ash, soil transformation
can compost my body into a nutrient-rich soil.
All they have to do is put me into some kind of a weird heated proprietary vessel and voila,
45 days later, I'm dirt.
Worth it.
You have to tell me the price.
Sorry. I would absolutely do that with my remains. Worth it. You have to tell me the price, sorry.
I would absolutely do that with my remains.
The estimate we received was $5,450.
Pretty good.
It is?
Yeah it is, I'll tell you.
Dying is expensive.
My parents made no death plan and we're like just finishing everything now.
Like it was a lot.
No plan.
No plan, no plots, no nothing.
The only, this guy's really upset about it.
That's it, is he coming back?
He'll come back.
It's not big deal, he has diarrhea.
Don't make a big deal about it.
Cryogenic freezing.
All right.
That's, you know, all right.
I think it's fun.
I want to do it.
It'll be $1,158 per year or 1,036 euros.
I think this is European based.
So I don't know what the tariff situation is.
I don't know what the reciprocal is on getting my body over there.
It's like, do I have to send a tenth of another person?
You know what I'm saying?
I don't believe it.
Like I don't believe it.
I don't, sorry I was tying in there.
I was gonna leave it.
I don't think they're really gonna like wake you up
when there's a way to live forever.
Right, cause they stop getting the monthly payments.
The interests are not aligned. Right.
I should have to pay them a huge bonus if they wake me up.
I would do that.
I want to make sure of the incentives.
I want somebody to be fucking fighting every day to cure whatever kills me so that they
make a lot of money when I wake back up.
Because even if it's a thousand years from now, put a couple bucks into an ETF compound
interest baby.
They got millions coming their way.
They bring me back to life from my death
of cement block to bed.
Why is it that miserable fucks always want to live forever?
I don't know.
Because I think they're afraid all the time.
Yeah, oh wow.
That was a very thoughtful, beautiful answer
and deeply personal, I'm guessing. I want you on my lap.
It's happening. Dear diary, you won't believe what happened tonight. It flappers.
Next up, shooting someone into space. So latest memorial Space flights offer several reasonable options
for those who want their cremains hurled
across the stars. Earthrise, you can
launch to space and return to Earth.
That's just throwing something up in the
air. But it's $3,495.
On Amazon?
On the Blue Origin? You can go
into orbit for five grand.
You can get to lunar orbit for 13,000.
And you can launch it to deep space starting at 13,000.
So that's the same rate.
So you gotta decide, do you wanna be moon adjacent
or do you just wanna just say I'm going?
I don't think that's worth it,
but I will say that Blue Origin thing
was so hilariously cringy,
and this is coming from someone who reluctantly was in that Imagine video.
It was a time where you can't say no because they're, you're not busy.
They know you're not busy.
I go, what's it for?
Nothing, just to make people happy.
Oh.
You know what? It didn't stick to you.
It really didn't stick to me. No one knows it.
I didn't know you were the thing.
No one remembers me from it.
Yeah, you couldn't say no. You were at home.
You were at home, too. You were in that Imagine video.
I don't remember that.
Did you have to do the kindness just in terms of process?
So just people know it was a bunch of people singing
the song Imagine that was edited together.
Did you have to sing the whole thing,
or did they tell you what part of the song you were doing?
No, I only sang the part of the song.
The first time I did it, I videotaped just my feet
on the toilet with my pants around it, and I sang it.
Because I just was so scared to be taking this
as seriously as the others.
It was, you know, you can't,
and there were lovely people doing it, but I,
and then they said no, and so I said it.
I did it kind of jokingly, just.
Ah, that's a funny bit to be on the toilet.
You had a, hey, you're good.
You're the best, that's why you're the best.
You tried to find a funny in that intensely cringey thing.
Yeah, I just go like vagina, toilet, asshole, semen,
and then if it fits in one of those, I'll do it.
And a lot of stuff does.
Boy, does it.
That's what I find.
But wait, the Blue Origin flight was cringey,
and I feel bad because the way that the celebrities
on that ship talked about it,
they were a little bit like a dog bringing you a bird.
And they're like, why are you mad?
I brought you this bird.
It's like, we're mad, we don't like this.
But I thought it was going to be cool.
I went into space like, we don't like this.
Women are dying left and right
because they can't get medical care
that they need to get because of our stupid fucking government.
And then a bunch of rich people go in space and go,
take up space!
Oh my God.
Yeah.
What are you doing?
It would have been cool, I think.
I think you could have gotten away with it
if you filmed your video about being in the Blue Origin with your pants down around your ankles.
Like, it's like, I'm in the Blue Origin toilet.
I mean, there must have been a toilet.
Take a shit in space!
Yeah, it just floats there.
God.
Somebody's had diarrhea in space.
You haven't thought about it before, but it's happened.
What about the people that were, you know, stuck in space recently for months and months?
Right.
Surely they had diarrhea.
Right, sure, of course they did.
And you know, I mean, I don't go six months without having it on the ground.
Yeah, oh my God.
Now shake me up.
Monashina Laila Zah.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's beautiful.
Dai Dai Anu.
All right, last one. Yeah, Lila's. Yeah. Die, die, ain't you?
Hey.
All right, last one.
Let's do being made into a diamond.
They could turn my corpse into a gem,
set it in a ring, and saddle my spouse
with a life-long whoopsie daisy.
Ha ha.
This would cost, hmm, $1,000, marked down from 1600.
Oh, but they'll go up to three carats for 25 grand.
Ooh, big honking stone.
Would you wear me as jewelry?
Yes.
I don't even wear jewelry, but I would.
Oh, that's sweet.
Thank you for saying that.
So moving.
Would you go into space?
Uh, no.
I would.
I have enough adventure with my morning shit not to be redundant.
Yeah, it's like, uh-oh, T minus 10 minutes to take off.
Jesus Christ. I don't, I don't, I have enough excitement in my life.
That was very Jewish. I like that.
That was so Jewish. I'm sorry.
That was so Jewish. I'm sorry.
That was so Jewish.
Yeah, going to space, tuh tuh.
Everybody check out Postmortem.
It is on Netflix on May 20th.
Sarah, thank you so much for being here.
Sarah will be back for the end of the show.
Thank you.

Hey, don't go anywhere.
There's more of Love It or Leave It coming up.

of sugar, unhealthy chemicals, and other gummy additives growing kids should never eat.
That's why Haya created a super powered chewable vitamin.
Haya is made with zero sugar and zero gummy additives.
You got to taste great and it's perfect for picky eaters.
Do you remember when you had to first learn how to swallow pills?
And it seemed impossible.
It seemed like magic.
And then your grandma would have like a handful of vitamins
and she'd just throw them all back at once.
And it was like, Jesus Christ, grandma.
I was trying to explain this to Charlie
because he was, I was taking an Advil or something.
And he's like, are you chewing that?
And I go, no, sometimes you don't chew pills.
Wow.
But the kids, these are-
He's eating the high,
he's taking the high of vitamins though.
He's chewing them right up.

and nutrition experts,

and supercharged with 15 essential vitamins and minerals
to help support immune system, energy, brain function,
mood, concentration, teeth, bones, and more.
Hiya is designed for kids two and up
and sent straight to your door
so parents have one less thing to worry about.
John, Charlie takes Hiya, right?
Sure does, and he needs them because he's not eating a lot of fruits and vegetables,
but he takes the high vitamins and he enjoys them and he's getting his nutrients.
That's what we care about.
Have you learned anything about pickiness in the foods?
What's that?
Can it be, can it be, because it's picky, picky eater.
How do you stop that?
Grow out of it.
You don't freak out about it.
That's what I, I'm a chill parent.
Nice.
Also, you've met my wife.
Yeah.
She doesn't, she's still a pick eater.
Right.
No, I mean, it's two bowls of buttered noodles.

Woo!

Woo!
Woo!
Hi, hi, welcome, welcome, welcome.
How you doing, how you doing?
Hello there.
Thanks for being here.
Hey, of course.
Come on in.
You sit.
Wherever you want to sit.
Sit, sit, sit.
Okay, I have stuff to say about the guy
that wants to live forever.
Okay.
Can we talk about him?
Yeah, let's talk about him.
Brian Johnson, let's name him.
It doesn't sit right with me.
I think it's weird.
Right?
I think men should die.
Um.
No, I, hear me?
I think it's part of the plan.
Like, I think it's masculine to die.
That guy is just, can you imagine being on a first date
with him and like, okay, so you're gonna live forever.
So I'm just like never getting your money.
What's really the point?
I don't know, that's it.
That's all I had to say.
Okay, sorry.
Lamar, do you know about this man, Brian Johnson?
I don't, but he sounds like a hero.
He's not a hero.
Sounds like a fantastic individual.
Forever?
He wants to live forever.
He wants to live forever.
Now, you're right.
Imagine the shit you could do forever.
Yeah.
I could be the biggest criminal on earth.
I could get away with some of the most heinous shit ever, because I'm gonna outlive all of you.
And it'll be fine.
Yeah, but you'd just be, like,
sitting there eating bean sprouts.
It would suck.
No, you'd be eating a lot more than that,
because you're living forever.
The world is literally mine.
Yes, I see what you're getting at.
Honestly, it's an ick.
So, a couple things you should just know.
Just tell me if you're going to take this deal
once I explain a few parts
of this
He only eats about two hours every day what he eats is
Basically a bowl of mushrooms with some sprouts in it. That's basically it my man
He
Is also on this age-defying journey with his son
That's right. He they do monitor each other's evening erections.
Stop.
I'm sorry, what?
Someone, it's correct.
I know it sounds...
Come again?
What'd you say?
So...
Did I say this man was my hero?
No, yeah.
Nah, nah, nah.
Well, hear him out.
But the...
So, I don't totally understand why.
And there can't really be a good answer to the question why.
I'm not saying that, oh, that makes sense.
I'm not saying that he could tell me why he's monitoring his son's evening erections,
and I'd be like, oh, now I get it.
But it has something to do with proving how young you are
with how many erections you're getting in the night Oh, that's real.
So he'll walk in the room and check
Wait, he'll like he'll be sleeping and he'll just roll up on him and be like
Let me see what my kid working with tonight
I don't
Like that or is he like son wake up he wake up and he goes get hard. I you know
Right, like I don't think it's like a pop quiz. I
Think it's some sort of a device that monitors like I think it's a there's some I don't think it's like a pop quiz. I think it's some sort of a device that monitors.
Like I think it's a, there's some, I don't understand it.
I have realized now.
I know what that's about.
Cause I think I got, here's what,
because I'm realizing now in front of all of these lovely
people and Burbank that I was so horrified by the fact
that he's keeping track of his son's erections.
I didn't pause to think, how would one do that?
Like I don't know what the device
or measuring technique is.
He's just going to ask his wife.
Right, right, he's just going to ask.
Y'all fucking?
There is that.
He also, so anyway, I think there's some downsides, you know?
Mm-hmm.
Wait, that feels like one of them.
I want to live forever.
If so, I got to check your dick every night.
It's like, no, never mind, I take it back, Dad.
There's something funny about him too, which is that he kind of gives dick every night." It's like, no, never mind, I take it back, Dad. There's something funny about him, too,
which is that he kind of gives away the game
because he's like,
the world is covered in toxins.
One must never be exposed to toxins.
You have most only taken the most precious
of good things into your body.
I also have veneers, filler, and I've dyed my hair
because I also need to look young.
Part of this is being hot.
Being hot forever is part of it.
He's also like, buy my olive oil.
It's like, what is this?
What's your end game?
You're selling us olive oil?
You're selling olive oil.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
What's cool about living forever though
is you could start a Lego thing
and literally do like one brick a day
and be like, patience.
This is going to be the great,
this is going to be amazing.
No, I get fascinated amazing in a thousand years.
I get fascinated when I see, and obviously these might not be real.
I see these things on Instagram all the time where it's like, scientists have figured out
a way to keep people alive by using nanites and all that.
That's like shit from a movie.
However, if it were real, I'm not saying I would be against it.
I might wanna live forever myself.
That is so bitch of you.
What?
You are a man. You mean bitch in a good way?
In a good way? No.
What are you talking about?
You are a man, you need to die.
That don't, that doesn't make a lick of sense.
I have given this world some beautiful shit, okay?
I am a lover of many.
And then, how are they gonna know in the future
how good I was giving it to them?
Unless I do it firsthand.
Can you imagine?
All the best.
Fucking robots.
Robots.
I could please a robot.
The robots would be like, I'm glad he made it, because it's better first hand.
I just think all the best men die, and I think that you should follow suit.
I do think it's interesting that both Lamorne and I thought you meant bitch in a good way.
Because you don't just call a dude a bitch.
You don't just be like, you a bitch, and I took it. Because I might be a bitch.
I might be.
And also, this is the exact kind of guy
that should live forever.
Esther.
Yeah.
You host a podcast.
Yeah.
Lamorne, you also host a podcast.
Wait, can I say something about Lamorne?
Yeah.
Okay.
I, okay, Lamorne, obviously he's famous from New Girl, right?
We love New Girl.
So some people don't know this,
but my first job on TV ever was,
I was in an episode of New Girl,
and I was so excited, I played the handbells,
yeah, I played a teenager, I was like 30.
Um.
I show up to set, and Lamorne goes,
oh my God, I know you, and I'm like, this is, oh my God,
because I'm so nervous, right?
Like I was just so nervous my first time ever on TV.
And he's like, I know you,
I saw you do stand up at the comedy store.
I'm like, oh my God.
And he goes, you bombed.
In front of everybody, like it was so embarrassing.
But you did, to your credit,
you were like, you bombed gracefully.
Yeah, that's not an accurate assessment of how it happened.
Not at all.
I believe it was something like, oh my God, I remember you.
And she was like, where?
And I was like, I think you bombed.
But I wasn't sure about it.
I wasn't sure.
And I was like, no, no, no.
You didn't.
I was like, no, no, you didn't bomb.
It was really funny. It was really funny, but it was like an empty dead crowd. But I remember you sure about it. I wasn't sure. And I was like, no, no, no. I was like, no, no, you didn't bomb. It was really funny. It was really funny,
but it was like an empty, dead crowd.
But I remember you being really funny.
That's what I said to her.
Will you hear the B-word, and like,
Zooey Deschanel is right there. It's like really scary.
I just think, I just think, here's what I take away from this.
You may forget what someone said,
but you won't forget how they made you feel.
Right? but you won't forget how they made you feel. All right. I... I received that. I'm going to take that with me to the future.
So Lamar, you're in Amazon's upcoming show, Spider Duar.
Thank you. And I'll tell you, it looks awesome because it looks like a cool show about noir detectives.
Yes.
Why's it got to be Spider-Man, you think?
You said why's it got to be Spider-Man?
Yeah, can't it just be a guy doing the detective thing?
What does the spider part add?
If you, one, it's dope.
Yeah. And if you saw the Spider-Verse,
the animated series,
there was a black and white character in it,
voiced by Nick Cage.
So this is the live action show
based on that particular character
and that particular cultiverse,
or universe, I guess.
And so, yeah, we had a good time making it.
And people love Spider-Man.
My kid loves Spider-Man.
So why not put Spider-Man in black and white in the 30s?
That's cool.
Yeah, because we've seen a lot of noir shows.
We've seen a lot of just Humphrey Bogart
just sitting there looking cool as hell.
But he can't go, he ain't got no webs.
He can't do webs.
He can't dodge bullets.
Yeah.
That's what we want to see.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Like if Guy Pearce in LA Confidential
could climb up the side of a building,
probably the movie would have been shorter.
It would have been shorter, for sure.
But they would have made a bunch of them
and a bunch of money.
And ultimately, that's what Sony's trying to do.
That's what it's all about.
Esther, do you think we need to rediscover religion as a society? Do you think we should get back to the churches?
Okay, um, I, okay, religion, I grew up without religion, so I'm really actually, can I just
say I'm really confused about the Pope?
Listen, I never cared about the Pope until now, because he's from Chicago.
Because you're both from Chicago.
Yeah, I'm like, cool, dude.
This is just...
Da Pope.
This is so shocking to me.
Like, I didn't know that the Pope could just, like,
be a guy from Chicago.
Like, that's not sitting right with me.
Like, I don't believe in nepotism,
but for the pope, I think it should be...
It should be something.
It should be, like, some kind of...
Like, you shouldn't be able to pull yourself up
by your bootstraps and become the pope.
It's weird.
Yeah, it is deeply disconcerting to see
ordinary Chicago-style Americans being like,
oh, yeah, I know the Pope.
Like, we could have throw...
Did you, when you were growing up,
were you ever like, the Pope could be among you?
Like, that's freaky.
When I was growing up? No, I was hoping not.
The Pope, these people are...
I'm sorry, I don't wanna offend anybody here.
These are world famous pedophiles.
Like world famous.
I'm hoping this motherfucker don't live across the street.
I'm hoping there's an app that'd be like,
there's a Pope here, there's a Pope there,
there's 10 Popes over here,
and there's a few cardinals around the corner.
You just, I don't want that.
Yeah, no, I mean, it's an important point.
I think...
It's huge.
I'm just excited.
I used to, we had waitress at Johnny Rockets,
and I'm in Chicago, and I'm like,
I could have served the pope.
I think what's really kind of confusing about it,
no, and I think-
So if anyone wants me to sign their cast or, you know,
bless them.
And like, based on the vibes coming off of Leo XIV,
I think he's a Johnny Rockets type guy.
Yeah, no, I see it.
Johnny Rockets to me, an inexplicable establishment
because I've never understood Johnny Rockets to me an inexplicable establishment because
I've never understood Johnny Rockets in so far as if I want a bad burger There are better places and if I want a good burger there are better places
Why do I ever want this specific level of bad because you want the music you want the era you want the friendly waitress?
You want the smiley face ketchup.
The milkshake.
I've never been to the Johnny Rockets.
Oh my God.
I used to work at Ed DeBevix.
So is that similar?
It is similar, but that's way cooler.
Oh my God, you look cooler than me.
Yeah, dude.
And in 500 years, I could tell this same story.
You know what I'm saying?
How do you go no?
Yeah, in the little cage the robots keep you in.
And you're just screaming.
You tell the story, you're like, thanks a lot.
Kill me, please. Please kill me.
I take it back.
I think you probably did serve the pope.
I know I did.
For me, what I was going to say is,
I think what's strangest about an American pope is
there's something about watching, like,
I don't know, a European or a French, whatever,
or someone, like, become the pope.
Like, I didn't understand them before they became the pope,
and I don't understand them after they become the pope.
But to just be a guy from Chicago,
goes into one room,
three days later comes out,
and the whole fucking place is going nuts,
and he's speaking in Latin. It's crazy.
It's a crazy thing, Chicago Pope.
And I've seen his brothers talking about it.
His brothers talking?
He has two brothers, and they're so fucking funny.
And the brothers just go on television,
be like, I can't believe it.
My brother's the fucking pope.
We play wordle, and now my brother's the fucking pope.
They don't curse, though, they're good Catholics.
Now it's time for a segment we're calling
The People Have Spoken.
I'm going to give you a headline.
You're going to tell us if this is an honest to God
piece of news that some poor bastarded people
had to write up or if we made it up.
Are you ready?
Ready.
First up, Brooks Nader and Gleb Savchenko
were always having sex on DWTS sets, sister.
The trailer was shaking.
Oh, I'm going to say that's real.
No, I don't think that's real.
You don't think so?
The trailer was shaking?
Well, what?
Those trailers, they don't have...
They're not very stable sometimes.
You got to put the stabling blocks on the bottom of it.
Because I get my hair cut a lot in the trailer, right?
And then sometimes my barber's gotta stop
because people just walk in all heavy-footed and shit.
And I gotta, because I don't wanna fuck my line up.
God already did that for me.
So, imagine if someone's having sex in an unstable trailer.
You know what I'm saying?
It's gonna be shaking.
Yeah, I'm just thinking about you being like,
if this trailer's a rockin', I'm gettin' a haircut. Ha ha ha ha ha.
I, my mom watches and consumes everything
that has to do with Dancing with the Stars,
and she still won't come to any of my shows,
but, um, I, I think that I would've heard about this
by now if this was real.
Well, I'm sorry to tell ya, it's real.
What?
I can tell you firsthand,
every single time I visited Brooks' trailer,
the trailer was shaking every single time.
Lamorne takes it.
Let's go.
Next up.
I want to do that show now.
Damn.
I've been single a long time.
Let me tell you something.
Doing it at work, that's nasty.
It's hard to meet people.
Meghan Tranner laughs at sudden veneer loss on today's show.
At least I sounded good. Exclusive.
Why would this be a headline?
What is going on at People Magazine?
I feel bad if it did happen.
You don't want to lose the veneer
But I feel like that's I feel like that's real. It's fake. It's fake. It's fake. Oh
Shit hi next up. Wait you're giving points. She didn't even give an answer
You just gave her a point cuz I was wrong
You don't get points for not being right. You only get points for being right. You don't lose points for being wrong in this game. I saw I got a point.
Next up, Megan Trainor changed lyrics
to body positive anthem all about that bass
to mention new boobs.
True.
She got new boobs.
She had them things.
She got new boobs? She got them th-th-th-th-th-th-thanks? She got them, she got them mammaries?
She got them, she got them additionals?
I'm gonna say yeah.
I'm gonna say yeah.
Let's take a listen.
Ow!
["I Got Some New Boobs"]
Yeah, she got some new boobs. Yeah I can't sleep a second. Like I'm so cold asleep. Yeah, she got some new boobs.
Yeah.
Good for her.
Two kids, why not?
Praise Jesus.
That's them preachers.
That's how they be.
Is that how they are received?
I grew up in a black church.
Well, they are.
Next up, toddler, a surprising fear
of John Wilkes Booth being under her bed exclusive.
Esther what do you think?
Lauren what do you think?
I want it to be real so bad.
I do too.
But if I came home and my baby was afraid of this,
I would be like, I'm killing my husband.
Why are we giving her some dumb ass history
lesson scaring her?
Yeah, why does a toddler know about John Wilkes Booth?
That's true.
I think it's true.
I'd never teach your toddler about failed actors.
You got it. Yeah, that's what I said. You got it.
Yeah, that's what I said.
Cassie's mother told people she was afraid to lie in her bed one night.
I said, it's OK, you're safe.
You're in your room.
Nobody can bother in your own house.
She said, yeah, but what if John Wook's booth is under my bed?
Like, what if he's hiding?
Can you believe that? Yeah.
Oh, that? Yeah.
Oh, that's awesome. Ooh.
Ah.
Next up, 1000 Pounds Sisters Amy Slayton
is engaged to Brian LaVorn after five months of dating.
See the Haunted House proposal exclusive.
Wait, what?
Wait, she's 1000 pounds?
I think the sisters together.
To get her 1000 pounds.
That's the total. Th pounds. That's the total.
Thick.
That's the total.
I'm engaged to Brian LaVar under five months of dating.
Haunted house proposal.
That's true.
Well, I just want to say when I'm with my sister, we weigh a thousand pounds.
Sorry, I hate my sister.
No, I'm just kidding, but she's annoying.
I think it's true only because,
oh god, a haunted house proposal is so tacky. Yeah.
When I got engaged, oh yeah.
My one rule was it could not be in public.
No proposals in public.
I don't want anyone witnessing it.
It's embarrassing to have life steps.
Embarrassing?
Yeah.
But you have a whole wedding in front of all those people.
We didn't invite anybody.
Really?
Yeah.
Did you really not?
No.
Where'd you do it?
The Santa Barbara courthouse.
Wow.
So you went to Santa?
Do you live in Santa Barbara?
No.
What made you go to Santa Barbara
to do something private?
Well, it's partially because it's beautiful,
but also that's the only courthouse
where you could go without an appointment.
Oh, you just, you were a walk-in.
Yeah, we were a walk-in.
They take walk-ins.
Yeah.
That's nice.
Can you also have a reservation
or is it one of those places that only does walk-ins?
No, you can do both,
but the reservations are really hard to get.
Oh.
Yeah.
How is a reservation hard to get when you can just walk in?
How long did you have to wait?
Not long.
Like an hour maybe.
That's cool.
Did you go on a busy day?
I don't know what a busy day would be for getting married at the courthouse in Santa
Barbara.
I guess a Tuesday.
It was a Monday so we were good.
A Monday.
That's good.
You beat the rush.
Yeah.
Or missed the rush.
Well you were waiting for an hour? Did you have any, like, second thoughts while you were waiting?
No, I was just hungry.
Oh.
Yeah.
Do you have a lunch reservation at least,
or do we walk in for your meal after?
How unplanned?
We drove all the way home and then we ordered sugarfish.
Wow.
Oh, thank you.
Oh, my God. Yeah, wedding reveal.
Uh, we didn't...
When we got engaged, we talked about
whether it was possible to do a directional surprise.
Like, could you figure out a way to both surprise each other?
But it started breaking our brains,
so we just literally planned it down to the moment
in the meal.
Like we were out to dinner, and we're going to do it at dessert, right when dessert comes,
because once dessert is down, it's the least likely time we'll be interrupted by the waiter.
So that'll be a quiet moment so we can do our little speeches.
Wait, for your proposal?
Yeah. We decided in advance we were proposing to each other. Wait, for your proposal? Yeah.
We decided in advance we were going to get, we were proposing to each other at the exact
same moment.
Like those Australian sisters?
Y'all were just speaking up the same time?
Did y'all take turns?
Was it scripted?
Who said what?
Who got on whose knee?
No one got on any knees.
No one got on any knees. No one got on any knees.
So I'll thank you for your question.
I'll take it with the generosity I assume it was intended.
No, our engagement wasn't like those freak Australian sisters.
Once dessert, we ordered dessert and once dessert came, we had rings.
We each had rings.
We exchanged the rings to be engaged and then we had each, we each had rings, we exchanged the rings to be engaged,
and then we had each said we were gonna tell the other
why we wanted to be engaged, like seriously,
and then that was it, we did it.
Then we had dessert.
What was it?
Honestly, it's in that family of was like, I don't know.
I was like, I don't know.
I was like, I don't know.
I was like, I don't know.
I was like, I don't know.
I was like, I don't know.
I was like, I don't know.
I was like, I don't know.
I was like, I don't know.
I was like, I don't know. I was like, I don't know, it made me question the whole fucking thing. I was like, is this all there is?
You know, and I've been engaged before, so.
Wait, were you?
But this one's gonna stick.
Okay.
Are you married yet?
Uh, no.
Oh, really?
So there's still time.
There's still time.
I can fuck it up.
I can fuck it up.
Done it before.
No, you don't know my life.
You get exposed to the exact amount of my life
that I want you to know about.
You know, that's part of it.
That's part of it.
Lamorne and Esther, you can listen to Lamorneing After
and Esther's podcast, Trash Tuesdays,
wherever you get your podcasts.
And if you're in LA, catch Esther
at the Comedy Store on May 31st.
Woo!
Yeah.
When we're back, the audience gets the mic.
Hey, don't go anywhere.
There's more of Love It or Leave It coming up.
Love It or Leave It brought to you by Planned Parenthood, Federation of America.
Your body is your own.
Planned Parenthood believes everyone should have the freedom to make decisions about their
health, including abortion, whenever and wherever they need it.
Today and every day, Planned Parenthood is committed to ensuring that everyone has the information
and resources they need to make their own decisions
about their bodies.
Whether you need STI testing and treatment,
birth control, gender affirming care,
cancer screenings, or abortion,
Planned Parenthood is there for you and all of us, honestly.
But some lawmakers wanna force their personal beliefs
on everyone else.
They're pushing bills to block people
from getting sexual and reproductive care.
They're cutting access to reproductive healthcare, trying to block coverage for birth control,
promoting abstinence only until marriage programs, and attacking Planned Parenthood.
Simply put, the government wants more control over our bodies, decisions, and futures.
Right now, millions of people are at risk losing access to care, especially women, people
of color, rural communities, and people with low incomes.
Planned Parenthood believes health care is a human human right and together with people like you and me,
they're fighting every day to build a future we deserve,
one where everyone can get the care they need
no matter who they are or where they live.
Supporters like you powered this work,
donate to support Planned Parenthood.

And we're back.
Please welcome Sarah Silverman back to the stage.
That was so fun. That was so funny.
Hi, Sarah.
Hello.
Hello.
Before we get to our final segment, one note.
After 2016, it was clear waiting around wasn't an option. That's why we started Crooked Media and why our friend
Amanda Lippman co-founded Run for Something, an organization that helps young candidates
run for local office and win. Her new book, When We're In Charge, The Next Generation's
Guide to Leadership is out now. Amanda shares what it's like when a new generation steps
into power, not just in politics, but
in business, activism, and everyday life.
Sometimes you can't just step into power.
You gotta kinda push some old people.
Get them out of there.
But either way, it's happening.
Speaking of men not living forever, at some point some of these old guys, God opens up
a seat on the various committees.
The book is a manual for leadership on your own terms.
No gatekeeping, no losing yourself in the process,
just real tools, honest lessons,
and the kind of clarity leaders need.
So we really wanna help Amanda get on the best sellers list,
so get your copy of When We're In Charge
at crooked.com slash books right now.
All right.
Look, as a group of comedians and podcasters, we're all pretty good about talking about tiny
and insignificant problems.
I think so.
It's the water we swim in.
So it's time for a segment we're calling
Itty Bitty Pitty Committee.
Ooh.
Ooh. Can we make that happen?
It's that same headshot.
Tilt it.
Everybody's playing little violins.
That's my pre-Munjaro face.
That's Martin Luther King's dream right there.
Anyway, if you need advice on a tiny, tiny little problem,
raise your hand,
Bill, our producer's floating around with a mic.
Who's got a tiny little problem?
Hi, I do.
Hi.
What's your small problem?
So I'm having a girls trip next weekend
and we have to make a trip to Costco before we get there.
We're trying to figure out if we should go to Costco
10 minutes away from where we're leaving or go to the one that's 30 minutes out of the way but
technically closer to the Airbnb because we have perishables and we're
worried about like the freezer and stuff. So it's gonna, it could be like a two hour trip and we're just trying to figure that out.
That is a beautiful small problem.
Luma Warren, what do you think?
Wait, so one, you said so there's there's one that's closer to where you're going, you said?
Yeah, so we're leaving from Santa Clarita to Oxnard.
And there's one 10 minutes away from when we leave Santa Clarita.
Or we can wait and go to the one that adds half an hour in Oxnard to our trip.
Get that shit delivered. What are we doing?
What? No!
And miss out on an in-store experience at Costco?
Okay, I am a new mom.
We live for our Costco trips.
What?
I would go to whichever one is the better Costco.
Get on Yelp, girl.
Let's see those reviews.
Nah.
Thank you.
Nah, that's why you're making mistakes. I think, here's what I think, that on a trip with the girls, an extra 30 minutes in the
car is part of the fun.
Who doesn't love an extra 30 minutes of getting to hang out with your best friends?
You know?
Do you not see them all the time?
Oh no, we see each other like every week.
Wow.
Now you gotta sit in this hot ass car with all these funky ass people.
So I got a friend who farts and keeps the windows.
He'll drive.
He'll lock the windows and fart.
You also know Josh Gad? Sarah, you're the final vote.
Are we going Oxnard or Santa Clarita?
Costco, it's a tiny, tiny problem.
You know, I think the close one, you get a cooler.
You got that cooler now for life.
Cut out the 30 minutes extra and live your life.
Wow, I like that.
That's good advice.
That's good advice.
Who's next?
Hi, sir.
What's your tiny little problem?
Oh, so we don't have a dishwasher.
That's not the problem.
The problem is we consistently complain about not having a dishwasher.
And we all know that all of our devices listen
to key words that we say all the time,
one being dishwasher.
So all of my ads are dishwashing detergent.
Wow.
So your problem is that you're deeply paranoid.
Uh...
Which is, I think, actually a big problem.
But there's also a small problem,
which is you're getting a lot of ads for dish-related...
Specifically the pods, yeah.
The pods, but you can't use them.
Correct.
Because you can't use them,
because they don't have a dishwasher.
They don't have a dishwasher.
Where do you live?
The streets?
It's a...
Yeah.
Sorry.
Sir.
You've got bigger problems, sir. Yeah, yeah.
My new girl checked in cash.
Wow.
Mine didn't either.
You ever worked for Fox?
All right.
So yeah, I mean, I guess it's not really much to do for you
because the algorithm controls us all.
Like we don't have the ability,
I don't even know how you would begin to,
I guess maybe search for things
that a person who lives in a disgusting home would search for,
like, you know, rats in the bed.
Yeah, yeah.
That kind of thing.
Any other thoughts?
If you're not getting a dishwasher,
stop talking about it.
Just wash the dishes.
Really smart, really smart.
That's why she's the best.
Who else you got?
Do you live with people?
Yeah, I live with my fiance right here.
Oh.
Wow.
Terrible joke coming up.
You rent.
We rent the apartment, yeah.
So you can't get a dishwasher because you rent.
No garbage disposal either.
Well, that's not worse. That's not worse. So you can't get a dishwasher because you rent no garbage disposal either well
That's not worse. That's not worse
That's not a big deal at all dishwasher vet that not worse
You can scrape your plates into the garbage and then put them in the dishwasher. That's fine
No disposal who gives a shit the dishwasher. That's a life changer. That's a that's a better world
I will tell you my you know my mom used to do growing up? I grew up on the South Side of Chicago.
We didn't have a dishwasher.
We were the dishwashers.
So then when we moved to a different neighborhood,
there was a dishwasher in our apartment.
My mom used to use the dishwasher as storage.
And she was like, you better not turn this dishwasher on.
She's like, y'all got hands?
And so, till this day, I have a dish.
I don't really use it.
I'm always just washing dishes by hand.
I grew up without a dishwasher too, and I had a dishwasher in my apartment.
I never used it.
I should have not interrupted this just to...
No, no.
But now I have a dishwasher and it's like magic.
Well, no, because, you know,
dishwashers be on some bullshit, right?
Because there are plenty of times,
I would load the dishwasher
and then a cup would get flipped over, right?
And then it's got water in it.
I go out of town.
I come back,
this cup is filled with mold,
and then you open it up and you're forgetting
the whole thing is funky.
And you're like, I should've just washed this shit
on my hand, on my hand.
Without emptying your dishwasher. You have to unload it.
I forget, I, I hope, that's why I just use my hands.
Every time I wait however long this shit to take
and you just be like, I gotta unload the dishwasher,
we got other shit to do.
Could you guys invest in more paper plates?
That's what I would do.
Good luck.
Who else has got one? That's what I would do. Good luck.
Who else has got one?
Hi, what's your tiny problem?
During this show I just found out that there's a rip in the heel of my shoe.
I should probably go and get a new shoe, but I don't want to go to the shoe store.
Oh my god.
This town is lousy with cobblers. They'll cost you eight bucks. I don't want to go to the shoe store. Oh, my God.
This town is lousy with cobblers.
They'll cost you eight bucks.
It's the greatest racket in L.A.
I thought you could charge so much more for this.
No, eight dollars. They'll make your shoe like new.
Yeah, go to the fucking cobbler.
Everything doesn't have to be replaced.
You don't have to throw everything out in this world,
this disposable world.
These people over here are using paper plates.
You're throwing out a perfectly good pair of shoes
just because you have a rip in the heel.
I don't even know what that means.
You know what kind of shoes are you wearing?
The heel-
He's wearing heels.
Oh, your heel broke.
Oh, they're converse.
Oh, so they're really thin.
They're really thin and they fit.
Buy new shoes.
Buy new converse.
You ever hear of grounding? Toilet of grounding? Have you heard of grounding?
No.
This is when you just walk around barefoot.
You got to get in touch, man.
You get that energy from the earth.
This is God's sign.
This is God's way of telling you,
you ain't in touch.
I agree.
If you walk barefoot enough,
your body makes its own shoe.
It does. Such good advice. Such good advice, such good advice.
Let's do one more, let's do one more.
Well, wait, who's the woman sitting next to you?
Can't you just take her shoes?
That's my wife and she's got much smaller feet.
Oh, okay.
And also you presumably want her to be happy.
I'm assuming he's carrying her everywhere.
He's carrying her, yeah.
Look at him swallowing the word happy.
You can't even say it.
Yeah, that's, no.
Misery is your kink. We have one more.
Should I pay for my bridesmaids makeup?
Oh, well, that's a, I think that's a very, well, what are we talking like?
How ugly are they?
They're beautiful. They're beautiful. Smart answer.
Have you already made them pay for a dress?
Yes.
And was it an expensive dress?
No.
Is it a dress that you know is not that nice
because you're protecting your interests?
No.
Be honest, stop it.
So you're saying it's a cheap, beautiful dress?
Yes, I let them pick their own styles.
Own styles, what color?
Champagne.
That's a hard color. That's a What color? Champagne. That's a hard color.
That's a tough color.
Tough color.
And can you afford to pay for their makeup?
It's in the budget.
It's in the budget.
It's in the budget.
It's in the budget.
What are you going to do with the money?
Keep it?
No.
Throw some makeup on these wolves.
What you doing?
What you doing?
What you doing?
What you doing?
What do you think, Sarah?
If you don't pay for the, to get their makeup done, where will that money go towards?
Probably decor, flowers, et cetera.
It's six in one, I don't know.
If it makes them happy and...
Here's, yeah, I think you should.
Here's why I think you should.
Because there's one of two possibilities.
If you pay for it, there's a nice moment in the day
where you're all getting your makeup done,
everybody's happy, no issues, no contradictions.
And that's priceless.
That's a memory for the rest of contradictions. And that's priceless.
That's a memory for the rest of your life.
And you're not gonna think the whole day,
should I pay for this, should I pay for this,
should I pay for this?
You'll never regret paying for it.
Especially once you get divorced.
That's a great point.
And also if you decide to pay for it,
don't get in your head about like,
oh, she was being cunty and I paid for for it. Like, just, you're paid for it.
You're paying for it. Done.
Yeah. Or, honestly, one thing you could do
is just not pay for it
and buy these poor people a dishwasher.
All right, let's leave it there.
That is our show.
Thank you so much to Sarah Silverman,
Lamorne Morris, Esther Kavitsky.
We'll see you next week at Dynasty Typewriter.
There are 535 days until the midterms.
