Starting point is 00:06:07 Which is that, you know, that's not that ain't me. That's not my truth. That's not my ministry. And so last week, Sydney and I went to a restaurant with somebody from Eater. Yes. Which is like, I guess, a big deal. It is. to like,
Starting point is 00:06:21 he took us to like a restaurant that we couldn't afford so that we can then go back to the Eater Studios and like record like a podcast about food. And so we went, we got food.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Sydney ordered lobster. It was crazy. She didn't eat the lobster. She rude. It's so bad. Well, we told you it was going to be bad. And then.
Starting point is 00:06:35 As a Haitian woman, you were like, you're going to just waste all this food. Because lobsters, it's so much work. It is. For like very little payoff.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Right? Like, and they didn't give us no garlic butter. So I was like, they treat me better at Red Lobster. I'm just letting you know
Starting point is 00:06:50 They give me They give me the sauce You're eating The sauce The sauce Well you're eating Imitation lobster With the sauce
Starting point is 00:06:57 Well it's showy It's good You know like that That white and pink Fake crab meat That people think Oh I love People swear it's crab
Starting point is 00:07:03 It's so fucking good It tastes like I don't know It really tastes like The bodega It tastes like diabetes And high blood pressure You should not
Starting point is 00:07:09 It tastes like the bodega It gives me It gives me good I don't know It just It's so good for me No it's bad for you That's why your eyes
Starting point is 00:07:15 Look like that Shut up And so So we went back to the studio to record the podcast. And I was like, oh, it's going to be so funny. We're going to have a good time. And I was trying to crack jokes the entire time. And Sydney was being so serious.
Starting point is 00:07:30 I was. It was not fun for me. I was like talking about like dicks and like paying with your book. Like it was stuff. I was talking about stuff that I don't even normally talk about. And Sydney was like the ambiance of the restaurant. And I was like, oh, my God, this is going to be so bad. It's going to be awful.
Starting point is 00:07:46 she was like the food was delicious and i was like what like oh my god i was like and she like gave it like a real restaurant review which is not what they wanted right they wanted us to just like he's heard the podcast before he was like you guys y'all are rude y'all are funny just talk about food yes i'm a future beforehand if it comes up it comes up and sydney was like so by the book that i was like i was like annoyed and i was gonna call you about it this weekend and okay so we just gonna handle it on the podcast wait for my expertise sis you hear me talking
Starting point is 00:08:18 but when we were leaving the dude was a little bit like oh no man I don't know what this podcast cause he didn't seem like he thought it was that funny either and so then the episode came out and he said it was great and he said his editor the editor in chief at Eater loved it and then I started listening to it
Starting point is 00:08:35 this morning and it was cool and I was like okay well see I exercised patience and didn't yell at Sydney on the podcast or shape her this weekend because I knew she was working, you know, and it came out fine. So you see this is that's why I'm an expert
Starting point is 00:08:50 being patient. That was great. Thank you so much. Let's clap. Everybody in the studio clap it up for Marie bitch ass for having patience. Bitch ass! Okay, Sydney, what were you an expert in this week? Hmm. I don't know. I'm just
Starting point is 00:09:06 Are you stunned? Are you flabbergasted? I'm I'm struggling this week and you know it happens and so I sometimes forget that like when I'm struggling I may I get I make it about me and I get like in my head and I'm not thinking about other people right and so I remembered a friend is going through it as well so I I called that friend and I hadn't called her in a while and I actually just listened to what she was going through right and i was like i i have to do better with even if i'm having a hard time i have to listen to other people because you might can get something from like what they're going yes and it
Starting point is 00:09:47 was um it was good i was glad that i was able to you know call and facetime and yeah and see the tears like in 3d oh 3d yeah imax tears and so i guess i was an expert in you know being there oh look at us being good people this week yeah honestly and truly you got to be there even when you can't be there for yourself sometimes it helps you get out of whatever you're fucking dealing with yeah i mean because sometimes it makes you step outside of your situation to just be like oh i mean i guess it could be worse um or i mean i i'm doing bad but i'm not doing that bad right so i feel like then i talked to her and i was like oh you ain't doing that back oh her or you her oh well then sometimes like sometimes also it's a it's cool not cool but
Starting point is 00:10:37 it's good to hear what other people are struggling with because maybe even if their problems aren't as big as yours you could be like yeah but i'm not that petty like you know what i mean like sometimes it makes you feel good because you you can like think worse about your friends absolutely maybe that's just me my uh patient skills uh speaking of skills uh our guest today Is somebody that I really enjoy And I think that y'all are going to like her Because she tells it like it is also Sydney
Starting point is 00:11:03 She's very Maria Jason Thank you so much Which is why I think I like this person Also she's funny So funny She went to Just for Laughs This summer in Montreal Big deal
Starting point is 00:11:14 Big deal Same thing that Marie went to Big deal New Faces And she also has a podcast Two Less Lonely Girls Justin Bieber based podcast Justin Bieber-based podcast that is incredible.
Starting point is 00:11:30 I haven't heard it, but I heard great things about it. Give it up for Rosebud Baker, our angry expert. Okay, first of all, it is about Justin Bieber, but we stalk Justin Bieber, okay? It's not like this podcast about, I just need to clear that up right away, okay? Because you feel like that was the flaw in it. Listen, listen up.
Starting point is 00:11:53 I will fucking defend Justin Bieber to the death. Okay, well, defend his current look, his hair and little creepy mustache situation. You know what? I can't defend that exactly, but here's the thing. He has been famous since he was like eight years old. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Maybe he is looking like a piece of shit so that he can blend in. No, dude. We know who it's from. The fact that you're able to stalk him. You stalked him even though he looks homeless. So that means he stands out even amongst the homeless folk. He does.
Starting point is 00:12:27 I know. You can't hide money. He looks like a young Kid Rock. You can't hide money. My name is Kid Bieber. I don't even, I've never even heard Kid Rock. That's a damn lie. You used to watch TRL back in the early 2000s.
Starting point is 00:12:38 I literally never did. Rosebud by your eyebrows. I know that you know a couple of Kid Rock songs. Never in my life. Never in my life. Okay, first of all, I didn't know I was coming on here to get roasted. I don't know why you didn't think that. You didn't know where you were coming from.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Second, second, I just need a little piece of butter cake to fuel up on this. Can you get me ice cream? Because I don't want it to melt in this whorm studio. So, roast bud. We're going to call you roast bud because you be roasting people too. I do. Which I like. I do.
Starting point is 00:13:07 And also, you've done like roast battles here in the city. How? So, a roast battle. I'm so done with those. Right. Listen, a roast battle is when they put two comics against each other and they have like, what is it? Like a minute to say as many jokes as possible to each other?
Starting point is 00:13:19 Yeah. you just go back and forth with jokes just like joking about like the most horrible shit that's ever happened to you it's a very formal roast it's like it's a very formal roast you sit down and you think about these jokes about some like the worst thing possible you can think of someone you write a well-crafted joke about it sometimes it's not well-crafted sometimes it is not it's just mean yeah that's the problem with those well that's the problem with unfunny people but it's like if you have it's not the problem the problem is not with the roast the problem is that not everyone is good at it and so if you have a joke that you think is gonna crush it like you
Starting point is 00:13:57 better be positive it's gonna crush because if it doesn't it just comes off mean so it has to be funnier than it is mean because y'all be talking about people family members dying and people's mothers beating them and saying people got aids when they really do have aids it's like crazy when y'all roast each other you're really saying stuff that you know about the other person how are they getting this information I don't know a lot of people I just ask them you know I'll be like what is
Starting point is 00:14:23 you think I would tell you about my herpes girl bye but like you can it doesn't have to be the worst shit that's ever happened to them like I'll be like what is it that you're comfortable with me writing jokes about I'll be like none of it none of it if you say the wrong thing I'm gonna punch you in the face I'm gonna wait outside for you that's why you wouldn't sign
Starting point is 00:14:39 up for it you know like the people that sign up for this are willing to go for it. They got no self-esteem. Not I, said the cat. They've asked me and Sidney to roast each other many times. Why? I'm sure. I said, I don't need that type of negativity in my life. We really don't. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If we see each other enough, we don't need to be roasting each other.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Also, if I know white people we don't know, I wouldn't tell Sidney none of my business. You guys have seen the roasts. I know for a fact that you guys have seen certain roasts that I've done that you immediately texted me about. I got the video. like this is the greatest moment of my life
Starting point is 00:15:11 so I know that you can enjoy it as long as you're not doing it. I'm not saying that I don't enjoy them. Yeah. If somebody that I don't like is getting thoroughly roasted it's beautiful. Wait, what was one of the jokes that you did at your roast? I can't. I can't. I don't remember them. Oh, I remember
Starting point is 00:15:27 a couple of them. Yo, when we had the video we were like run that back, run that back. We were in an Uber pool listening to it at full volume and we were like can we plug this into the office? Yeah. It was so messy, Marie It was beautiful
Starting point is 00:15:42 It was fun, it was a fun one But is that how you channel some of your anger? In those battles? Yeah, I think that was one of the ways That I realized I was so angry I was like, oh, it's a lot easier for me to write jokes When I'm angry about something Now, what does a young, well-to-do
Starting point is 00:15:59 White woman have to be angry about? Because you Come on, Rosebud You look like you had a racquetball club membership or something like i really do i really do you look like you shop at um i don't know rag and bone yeah you know it's uh it's i don't know i don't know what i have to be angry about when i really like focusing on it i'm like i don't have that much to be angry about but you don't have to have something to be angry about to just be angry like you could just be an angry
Starting point is 00:16:27 person which i have been since i was a kid do you have angry parents my dad yeah my dad he's a he's a real mean he's he's a mean guy what's his deal he's like uh okay so he is um a lawyer and my mom is like a painter right so i come from so he's working all hard and your mom and your mom's like i think i should put some flowers here yeah my mom's a painter and my dad's a lawyer and my dad is like you know he had four five daughters he didn't know what to do he was just angry he was mad about that he was mad we were all supposed to be men and he just failed miserably each time right so he never created a man and uh and that was his fault you know uh right so he was angry about that um but also like he was just he was mean but in the funniest ways like when i look
Starting point is 00:17:15 back when i was a kid my dad would come to these plays that i would do right and he would he would sit in the front row and then he would fall asleep and i remember him coming in college and falling asleep in the front row with his drink in his hand and i remember coming up to him afterwards and being like you fell asleep i can't believe you fell asleep was so dramatic he goes well maybe you know he's like he's from texas he's like well you know maybe if it was a better play i wouldn't have fallen asleep oh my god and i'm just like that is you know looking back at that i go like that's fucking funny like that's a funny thing your dad would have got along with my mom because my mom went to my talent show in high school and she took off of work yeah she had like she had a
Starting point is 00:17:50 trench coat on she had her sunglasses on she would not take them off she sat in the front and i sang oh holy night yes and when i tell you ramona marie was so angry you could see the heat coming off her wig like her wig wanted to just pop off and then at the end of it she's like next time don't have me take off her work for this bullshit and then i was like you right you're right you're right yeah i never sang again yeah i was like all i needed was my mom to be like don't have me take off for this i'm not i'm not losing my hours i know she's like now you can't eat next week because we don't have money for it she's like a whole day off for that dry ass voice I mean, being a parent is a pain in the ass.
Starting point is 00:18:32 You know, I feel like if I I wish that I had been an adult, like adult me had heard my dad say that because I would have cracked up. You know what I mean? Because the funniest part about it was I wrote the fucking play. So I'm like, he's like, well, maybe if it was a better play, if maybe I wouldn't have fallen asleep, if it was a better play. I'm like, I wrote it. Did he know that you wrote the play? Apparently not. And I was like, Dad, I was like, I wrote the play.
Starting point is 00:18:57 and he goes well you're not fucking shakespeare i don't know what you're that sounds fantastic but also hilarious terrible he's terrible yeah but he's also like as a comic i'm like that's the reason i became a comic yeah like that's my sense of humor you know but you need it though sometimes you need a little bit of that you do just steer you in the direction like hey maybe plays ain't for me yes maybe i'm not good maybe that's not my lane but i could do something else Maybe that's not my lane. Maybe that's not what I should do. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:27 My dad was, you know, he was always like, you're very funny. You should do comedy. He's like, and I was like, I'm a serious actress. Yeah. He was like, all right, well, nobody likes theater. That's what he said to me. He's like, nobody wants to. That's why they have matinees, because nobody wants to waste their whole night at a theater.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Oh, my God. Yes. Damn. I want to hang out with your dad. Can he get on a podcast? I know. I want him to be James Baker. James Baker.
Starting point is 00:19:50 James. We got some time. James Baker. James seemed like he might say the N-word on the weekends. She said he's from Texas. She said he's from Texas. He might say it while sipping on an Old Fashioned. I've never heard him say it, but you know what?
Starting point is 00:20:03 I'm not going to say. That's how y'all do it. You're like, well, he's never been racist in front of me. Not in front of me. I can't confirm or deny. I can't confirm or deny whatever happens in his car. James seems like one of those people that when he sees somebody who's down on their luck or homeless, he just says thoughts and prayers. Oh, he is definitely one of those.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Puts no money in the cup. Oh, my God. Thoughts and prayers. Definitely one of those, yeah. So you had that anger from a kid. Yeah. Also, my mom's really Southern, you know, so she wouldn't ever admit that she was angry. She'd always be like, no, I'm just sad.
Starting point is 00:20:36 And that used to piss me off. Yeah, because it's like, don't say you're fucking sad. Just say you're pissed. But what do sad and angry have to do? Like, they have nothing in common to me. Like, I feel like I'm quiet when I'm sad and I'm loud when I'm angry. Well, sometimes you're sad that you're angry. You're like, and you can't pinpoint why you're angry.
Starting point is 00:20:54 That can make you sad. You're like, what the fuck am I so mad about? I can always pinpoint why I'm angry. I can't pinpoint why I'm sad. Anger always, I can find a direct source. You know what I mean? Because if you get angry, something set you off and it's always pretty obvious. But no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:21:11 I will tell you this. When you angry about stuff, you think it's about one thing, but it's about something that happened like two weeks ago. Right. That happens too sometimes. It's the snowball effect that you're like layering on. But here's the thing is this is why I'm an expert at anger. It's because the second that I feel angry, I say it in like I don't have a way to be like, oh, no, let me just hold on to this for a second.
Starting point is 00:21:33 You know what I mean? Like, I'll just say, OK, well, this is pissing me off. You nip it in the bud. Yeah. And that way, the next time I see the person, you know, their outfit won't annoy me. That would make you angry. Somebody outfit. yeah you ever not like somebody and everything about them you hate the way they laugh the way they smile there's one guy in new york i'm not gonna say his name i hate the shape of his fucking
Starting point is 00:21:56 head because i because so much of what he's done has pissed me off so many times that i can't even now he'll walk in a room and i'm like this guy with his fucking mouth like i just can't even tell him why you're mad i can't i can't why i can't even say that because it would give it away uh but like i just i can't oh you know what i mean yep you mad about it right now it's not even yeah it's just like the way that he talks do you know what i mean he's one of these people that just he's one of these people that just always has something to fucking say is it on facebook um were we talking about this person earlier no but that person pisses me off just because self-pity is disgusting okay talk about those people like on facebook they'll be like oh i
Starting point is 00:22:39 don't have any friends i'm just like oh god oh yeah there's this guy there's a guy on facebook and he'll put like if i gotta hit read more yeah and then another page pops open yeah that's that you wrote too much you wrote too much and i was a read more person it's too much you don't even read but you make us read a lot on your status it i do read we just said we'll just like it she won't read the whole thing but she'll like it yeah cities aren't reading that many words she'll just be like i support you i blindly support you it's like is it so obvious it yeah oh yeah you're when you get mad i know you so when you get mad but like if i get mad i'm not jumping on social media to type about it like oh if i'm mad i'll type about it on social yeah i'll just
Starting point is 00:23:28 be like you know i won't be specific i try not to be specific but yeah there's sometimes i'll just be like i can't i can't yeah but sometimes i think people are such idiots you know what i mean people are such morons especially now in 2018 people just getting dumber and dumber just dumber and dumber i i honestly there's not a single person that i even if i agree with the overall cause that this person has the way that they go about it annoys me you know what i mean there are people that are so fucking devoted to like one specific cause that i just go like you i'm like you're setting yourself up for such failure especially now because people are so you know they'll be like i'm such a feminist and i'm like okay but if you ever fucked up in the
Starting point is 00:24:17 past if you are without sin yeah then fine but like if you ever fucked up in the past you are setting yourself up it's gonna come out for some fucked up shit to happen and everyone is gonna turn on you it's crazy how it's like especially in like a hollywood and entertainment right now the stuff that people did in like 1992 in like in like a basement is coming to light like people and they didn't have phones back then to document everything that's what i want to know how people remember how do you have the memory i know like i can't remember what happened last week i don't remember what i had on yesterday and i put it on my ashy ass body either yeah like it's just it's crazy to me especially for like kids the kids that are growing up now they're never going to
Starting point is 00:24:59 be able to lie about anything no right because everything that they do is all over social media it is and it's like they're digging into people can delete tweets and then get jobs and then they'll find them deleted tweets and be like well you're called mexicans you can delete tweets and people find them yeah they like live somewhere no sydney's about to go on a spiral no i'd rather i i don't really delete my tweets i know they're i can't even say retarded but yeah i know that they're dumb and i'm like i live in my i lean into the dumb yeah i'm like this is what it is yeah but i don't really say anything like that racist or sexist that racist that's the thing though is like comedians right like comedians are now being held to this like up this standard
Starting point is 00:25:42 because we're uh pandering to whatever side we think will agree with us instead of just focusing on being fucking funny yeah but that's the thing too you say the word comedian and it's like look it's a lot of people at the level that we're at currently and you know levels above us that do comedy and they do it because they saw bill burr do it or louis ck do it and he said the n-word so like i'm also gonna say and it's like you're not funny they call you're not that fun you're not you're not funny yeah you just want to jump up and say the n-word in front of people to be like because the stuff that they're saying is not new it's not original it's nothing creative or funny or that makes you think
Starting point is 00:26:22 that like a dude a few years ago came to a comedy show at a bar with a KKK hood and he was like it's fun
Starting point is 00:26:29 because he was roasting a black dude and in his roast he was like I'm going to throw this hood on and there was a few people there were
Starting point is 00:26:36 no there were actually people who supported him like oh this is comedy I was like if this is your comedy you need to fall down all the flights of stairs
Starting point is 00:26:43 yeah you know what the problem is is Louis CK did that joke about he did a joke about the n-word right
Starting point is 00:26:50 and he was the first white guy that ever, first of all, like, went there, right? Right. I'm sure he wasn't the first. No, I mean, the first white guy comic that ever was able to, like, make an N-word, like, an intelligent, like, use the N-word in a joke that was perceived to be really intelligent, right?
Starting point is 00:27:09 Right. It was an intelligent joke. And then everybody that saw that went, oh, if I do that, then I might be perceived as the intelligent you know edgy comic and it's like you have to be um norm mcdonald said something about this in an interview like last week where he was like the roseanne one yeah yeah but this was a different interview um he was like you have to be a master at something before you can be subversive oh and yes like you know what i'm saying like picasso learned how to draw a perfect
Starting point is 00:27:40 fucking circle before he was able to turn the circle into like 17 squares and make it you know what i'm saying yeah so it's like you have these comics that are like two years in yeah and they're trying to do these jokes with two years of skill under their belt and it's a disaster it is but colin if you don't get your raggedy ass face out my face like it's crazy the stuff that people say that they think right is exactly that like oh i've been doing it for two years that's that's time but it's like how do you master five minutes about yourself before you talk about the world right like if you can't make your own personal situations funny how can i trust that you can talk about racism or politics some people don't talk about themselves on stage you know what i
Starting point is 00:28:23 mean they'll just talk about they don't they don't want to that's not what they do which i understand yeah and i also think that people should be allowed to make the dumb fucking mistakes that you make when you're trying to learn to be funny yeah but a lot of these people that are jumping on stage and they're like and then the nigger okay said like the people a lot of those people they don't do comedy for that long no they don't that because because it like they they're just cast off it's like they're there's a weeding out system that happens but also they suck at it that's not like a mistake like you should know that people have been doing that for so long that why would you even go there because it's not worth it because everyone thinks that they're
Starting point is 00:29:01 the smartest and funniest person in the world right and then they teach themselves they go oh oh i i don't i'm not good enough to make this joke and this isn't even a joke you know what i'm saying there were like when i went on stage in the beginning my chair is like turning i can't um i'm like is this me am i doing this with my who's doing this with their mind it's the fan um oh that makes me feel thin uh i don't know i just feel like you know there's i forget where when you first started comedy i don't oh yeah i made some you know the jokes i would make i was like i was an idiot you know like that's true there's times when i walked away from stage and i'd be like oh my god like just feeling so ashamed of like what i said because i was trying to make
Starting point is 00:29:47 something work you know what i mean and i didn't know how to like formulate the thought i wasn't good enough for the joke you know right but those you could go back to those jokes and you can go back to those jokes you can fix it and you can fix it but you gotta be that's why we have open mics we gotta be allowed to just go okay you suck but whatever man if you needed to try that like yeah but that's my thing now like you can't even you can't even go to an open mic with somebody without somebody like instagramming it or like who's instagramming an open mic you'd be surprised oh god so many people so many people so many people they're like i'm gonna go live at the mic at the mic at the mic go live can we talk about people who go live at like concerts
Starting point is 00:30:33 and stuff yes oh my god i saw this girl she went live she was at a concert had the phone up no one was watching the live but it was up for so many songs and it was like no one wants to watch your grainy phone coverage nobody yeah like get out lee get out of my life it's like why are we why If you're around people and you're having a good time with the people, why are you going live? Because you've got to show people that you're having a better time than them. The only time that it's appropriate to go live is when you're walking alone down the street and you want someone to talk to. And nobody wants to watch that shit either. How come they haven't made that on Law & Order SVU?
Starting point is 00:31:13 That's an episode right there. She was going down the alley. And she's going live. And then all of a sudden somebody attacked her and her followers were like, well, we saw the man. Did you just see this scrolling up? What happened? Are you okay? Wait, are alleys still a thing?

Starting point is 00:41:39 I let them know how I really feel and they'll call in and cancel the charge. And they won't even be like, oh, the food was bad. They'll be like, I didn't have a good time there. And American Express will say, sure, okay, and we'll take it off. That's why American Express is the
Starting point is 00:41:55 best credit card to have. Yeah, but a lot of places don't take Amex because they're also the most. They cost the most or something for businesses to have it. But good to know that when I get some money and and a credit card my ex he would go to nightclubs buy bottles leave without signing and then call

Starting point is 00:47:38 Yeah. I'm going to say no. It's a man. But also, like, not all men are like that. You know what I mean? like some men like they they won't even ever see a mess they're just like stepping over like beer cans and they got like a hoarder house and they're like this is just the way my house looks like they don't even see it but they don't see it and i'm like that is crazy it makes me insane like when
Starting point is 00:47:56 i come home to a dirty house i'm like i i lose it it seems like you're a little ocd i am no i feel like everything that you're saying that's what i call people who are like clean clean you OCD yeah I'm like you have an if you have a problem when people say you have OCD it sounds like a compliment to me that's it's like yes absolutely I'm a clean person I like shit to be organized I don't I don't want I'm holding on by a fucking thread I just want my apartment to look nice yeah yeah you know what I mean low-key I feel like I'm OCD I like things to be clean yes I like my kitchen to be clean I like my bathroom to be clean and you're not eating in my bed like that's gross that that used to kill me yeah when i was staying with my ex
Starting point is 00:48:39 crumbs all the time but whose crumbs your crumbs see we couldn't figure out who it was it was community crumbs because you're talking and i'm like sydney they were probably your crumbs no i don't eat in the bed anymore but but when you were with your ex we're trying to figure out what the riddles is this onion dust yeah um but yeah i mean you've been in a relationship for so long and you have friendship for so long you definitely have to hold back your anger you definitely have to no you don't what are your tools when i'm in a relationship for a long time i can be as me as i want to be yeah you don't have to hold back your anger like you don't you also you can have your anger without like being your anger you know what
Starting point is 00:49:20 mean like you can you can tell somebody like come through dr phil yeah i mean you can tell somebody like look i'm i'm so mad right now that i can't find the words for how much i hate you and just like say that in a in a specific you know what i mean rose but that's real lifetime movie of you look i can't explain i can't it's beyond the reach of words how much you annoy me right now like that's you know what i mean if you're talking to somebody who's not as angry as you that'll go fine if you're talking to somebody who's also angry that's not gonna go well Yeah, somebody who's a hothead. Because all you're going to do is bump heads.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Yeah, so then you have to be the person that sees things for what they actually are. You need a rational person in an argument. Yeah, and here's the thing. I don't find myself getting angry unless it's about something rational. And that's the benefit of, I think, my anger. Well, la-di-da for you, real bad. Everything you mad about is rational. You're right, I'm wrong.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Well, like, here's the thing is, like, if it's not, but, like, my sister texted me the other day that she was going out to dinner with my friend, right? And I was like, that's my fucking friend. You know what I mean? Like, I immediately got so mad. And then I was like, hold on. Like, you don't own, like, you don't have ownership over people. No, you don't. What's the age difference between your sister and your friend?
Starting point is 00:50:39 Five years. Yeah, no, they shouldn't be hanging out. That's your friend. At all. That's your friend. Why? Wait, why are they hanging out? I want to know.
Starting point is 00:50:45 What was y'all doing? Y'all celebrating without me? Was y'all doing something Without me I'm like I'm on a plane On the way back from LA I can't be there to hang out
Starting point is 00:50:53 They didn't ask me to hang out Why would they Because they know I'm in LA That's rude They should have FaceTimed you Into the hang No but they Why would they
Starting point is 00:50:59 They should have asked your permission Yeah Honestly Why are we like that About our Certain friends Like certain people You don't care about
Starting point is 00:51:04 But like if somebody Hangs out with your other Or two of your friends hang out That you introduce to each other And you see them chilling You're like What's happening here Yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:51:12 Like it's not real friendship I'm not there But see I don't think them ever make sense because you don't have ownership over a person. You got to just let people be and let people do what they want to do. That's it.
Starting point is 00:51:22 That's like, you can't get mad about that. If you are mad about it, it's fine, but it's about something else. It's not about them hanging out. You know what I mean? It's about you feeling insecure. I don't like that word at all. Damn.
Starting point is 00:51:34 That's true. How long have you been studying therapy at DeVry? I've just been in therapy for so long, I might as well have a fucking degree.

Starting point is 00:58:55 like the people that show up oh my god but what if they show up they bring something like what if they show up and they bring a bottle uh or like a piece of cake if they bring something then great you know what i mean i like okay reggie came to fucking emmy party the other night which reggie reggie conquest okay what emmy party yeah reggie was invited to a party it wasn't really an emmy party it was like an emmy you see how bitches slide back
Starting point is 00:59:18 after they're like oh i didn't invite you it wasn't really it was a hangout it wasn't at my place it was last minute it wasn't at my place and but it was reggie's idea to have this like get-together at McCalla's, right? Oh, okay. So he set this whole thing up, shows up three hours late, asks if he can bring plates and cups, and everybody already fucking ate.
Starting point is 00:59:42 You know what I mean? That kind of shit. If that was my place, I'd be furious. He suggested her house and then didn't bring anything. And then didn't bring anything. And then got there three hours late. Yes, so she hid the pot roast before he got there so that he couldn't have any.
Starting point is 00:59:57 Ooh, I like that. It was beautiful. That's hilarious. That feels like something Reggie would do, though. Yeah, of course. Also, how long are the Emmys that he was three hours late? The Emmys is three hours late. Right.
Starting point is 01:00:08 So what? I don't know. Was the pot roast cute, though? Was it good? Did you guys watch the Emmys, by the way? That made me angry. I haven't watched the Emmys, and I don't watch award shows. No, I couldn't.
Starting point is 01:00:17 I was crazy. Why? What made you angry about it? Just the hosts? The jokes? No, just everything about it. I was just like, I thought actually that Che and Colin did a good job. Um, I just feel like it was so the kind of laughter that if, I don't know if you guys
Starting point is 01:00:34 have ever done like a corporate gig where people can't laugh in front of their coworkers. Oh yeah. That's what the Emmys felt like. Absolutely. You know what I mean? They all, it all just felt like them being like. But those jokes weren't for them. I know.
Starting point is 01:00:46 They were really playing to the people at home, which is perfect. Right. They're smart. Yeah. They did what Michelle Wolf did. But then everybody on Twitter is like just following whatever the Emmy audience did. You know what I mean? They were just like, oh, I can't do this.
Starting point is 01:00:58 I can't listen to this. I'm so uncomfortable because like nobody can think for themselves. Every joke is not for everybody. Right. And them corporate gigs be real rough. One of the roughest shows that I've ever done. And I just remembered because I suppressed it. I did.
Starting point is 01:01:13 Because I tried to forget. I completely forgot until you said that. And I was like, oh, yeah, one of my worst shows was, you know, how Walgreens has like the Red Nose Day. Yes. To like raise money for children or something. Oh, yeah. You told me about that. I was like.
Starting point is 01:01:26 marie i'm you when you said that i was like i think you probably think that you didn't but you said people were coming up to you and yeah yeah later but in the moment when i'm on stage and no one's first of all they showed a sad ass video of julia roberts with like children that had not eaten and were dying they were trying to set you up for failure and then they're like next marie faustin doing comedy and it was like what you gotta say that from sad aaron brockovich to this uh-huh no and i went i went on stage and you know it was a bunch of like old white dudes in there with like pinstripe suits or whatever and i was like look at all this money in here and they nobody left and then everything i said after that they were just like waiting for me to finish and
