Starting point is 00:00:53 a giant squirrel that's nasty it's a rodent it is a rodent but he like they mean well they're supposed to be in the ground groundhog so the fact that they bring them up and make this big old thing about them and hold them up and it's like lion king lion king a little bit what they hold them up my question is that's what they do first of all because groundhog day they just dig they knock on his door and then he comes out how because he's not coming out every day every year the same day every February the 2nd bitch he's like gotta clock in
Starting point is 00:01:27 no he's disgruntled he's upset one time he bit he should be biting it's only happened one time I'm shocked if I was a fat ass groundhog I'm biting everybody's ankles arms like nipples everything yeah gross
Starting point is 00:01:45 I mean his name is they say his name is Phil but I think it's Devante I think the groundhog is a black man if his name was Devante he would never come out he would come out like late he'd come out in March
Starting point is 00:01:57 yes he would he wouldn't come out in February when it's cold he'd come out in the spring he'd be like okay ow I see people ain't got panties on today
Starting point is 00:02:04 sundress weather like that's when Devante would come out he's like oh my god Devante would be like yeah so it's gonna be spring in six weeks
Starting point is 00:02:13 like nigga it is spring and he's like it's the summer now he's like not for me I'm West Indian wow that's a little bit warm weather in my blood
Starting point is 00:02:23 oh my gosh love Phil shout out to all the dudes named Phil that are tall and the short ones that look like groundhogs I love you Phil you're the best
Starting point is 00:02:32 love already you don't even know him really but you love him well he's born in the same well he's not born but he comes on the day that's my birthday he clocks in once a year
Starting point is 00:02:41 yeah if anybody's living the American dream it's Phil's fat ass that's why he's so fat He needs to work. He works one day. Honestly, I feel like that's me.
Starting point is 00:02:51 I feel like I work like once in a while and then I come out. That's not true. You be on stage every night of the week. Don't you dare. Don't you dare do that. But audience, I mean listeners, just want to let you know, how many of those shows am I getting paid? That's free work.
Starting point is 00:03:06 It can't be called work if I'm not getting paid for it. You ain't gonna go to work, work, work. Yes. It is that. It's definitely like, oh, I'm going there. I'm showing up to do what I love. But I don't know if it's necessarily work. I didn't fill out any papers.
Starting point is 00:03:20 There was no transaction. So it can't be considered work. It's still work, friend. I think half of stand-up comedy is working towards getting work. Right. Like, I think a lot of people do stand-up so that it'll lead to other opportunities where they do get paid. Yes. Honestly, friend, I'm like, do I still need to do stand-up?
Starting point is 00:03:42 It's like weird. Oh, yeah. Wait, Marie, what's your... Aren't you an expert in, you know, just not really doing comedy no more? Not really doing stand-up? Living the American dream. Living my best life. I'm living the American dream because I'm getting paid to do something that I'm like,
Starting point is 00:03:58 y'all paying me for this? Y'all are dumb. So dumb. It's like, ah, this is work for me. Yeah. I already got three checks. Wow. I've been working for four weeks.

It's a picture of the old box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Did you know there used to be three people on the box? Nope, because he got big and left them. But I didn't even know that there was a dude on the box now. I just thought it was the Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Zoomed in. You see how that goes? Anyway. Marie said that's going to be her projection. My sister sent it to me. And she was like, this is you leaving Amina and Sid. And then I sent it immediately to them. And Sidney was not amused.
Starting point is 00:06:37 I was like that's not funny and then my sister put a picture Lou can actually go to hell and don't speak to me and then my sister like put a photo of the actual three of us and then one of me just by myself and she kept the caption
Starting point is 00:06:53 it was like he left his niggas as soon as he got big I was like uh listeners do you think that's funny I think it's actually not the amount of listeners that slid in my DMs and they were like crying laughing face and I was like
Starting point is 00:07:08 Sydney was not amused and they were like I know oh is that what it is listeners okay well good to know

Starting point is 00:13:27 you know what? My boyfriend bought that for me so my ass won't stick out. But you're from Chicago and it's fucking cold there so you can't have those like little crop top baby fat jackets.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Them Harlem coats. Well, here's the thing. the trade off like weather wise because it's like negative in Chicago right now so like I feel like wearing a big coat here
Starting point is 00:13:43 is just a little phony like because it's not that cold it never gets that cold comparatively and you also dead inside so that's why for sure I was bike messaging
Starting point is 00:13:51 in the Chicago winter so like wait a minute it's black women bike messaging I was young and strange oh my
Starting point is 00:13:59 obviously you was doing a seamless don't I don't want to talk I want to talk about this this is problematic you know what
Starting point is 00:14:07 And it's Black History Month. I feel like I pitched a lot of ideas where you're like, we simply will not be discussing that. We won't be discussing that. You did, you did pitch some. Well, what else would you pitch so we can shut it down? Black nerds. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:19 You're an expert on black nerds? But I feel like there's, we know other people who are more nerdy than you. For sure. I feel like I've suppressed that in the interest of making money. So I'm like. Look at that. You about them coins.
Starting point is 00:14:29 I'm, you know, I don't want to be all, I'm not, we're on the heels of some Steve Harvey shit. So I'm not talking about selling out or anything. Right, right, right, right. Just, you know, growing up, being 30, et cetera. Yeah. Yeah. I absolutely.
Starting point is 00:14:40 And honestly, I understand the blurred concept, but I don't see it in you. No. I know that you're very smart and you be hitting me with some shit that I was like, oh, let me go Google that. You're black for sure. Is that a semicolon? Yeah, yeah. In the text.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Yeah. Wow. Your tweets, I'd be like, yo, what is Becca on? She in another dimension, nigga. Well, see, that's what I want to talk about. Well, not anymore. I don't want to talk about it because when I say black nerds, I mean comic books, I mean anime.
Starting point is 00:15:02 That's what I'm talking about. Oh, yeah. We don't want to talk about it. I know. Few people do. Where does one get a comic book in 2019? We don't need to talk about it. We don't need to talk about it.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Amazon got comic books? You know what? Forget it. It's neither here nor there. Tower Records? Okay. Okay. So what else did you pitch that Sydney shut down?
Starting point is 00:15:18 I pitched it to Sam. Like, y'all seem to have another employee. We do. We have a booker. This is a professional podcast. What did Sam? I don't even remember. I sent her like broke fashion or something like that.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Which I said was fine. yeah so we're doing like a version of that yeah we're gonna get into that cause like being fabulously unstable is like obviously you're kind of a mess but you make it look good and I feel like but make it fashion yeah make it fashion and you do that quite well just like mess but yeah
Starting point is 00:15:45 let's do it people can't see the act out I just did but it was like a very Tyra Banks but fashion inward elbow type pose well remember when you would watch Top Model and she'd be like instead of doing this do this she would literally move a little bit she would tuck her titties in and then
Starting point is 00:16:01 and put her elbows forward. She's like, instead of doing, this is giving playboy and this is giving high fashion. She was giving narcissism at its best. Like, she was getting paid to be into herself. I love it. She's still getting paid.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Top Model is literally, like, it's in syndication all over the world. There's, like, Germany's Top Model and Britain's Top Model. Like, she's still making money. I love how crazy she is. Like, she was crazy the whole time. Her talk show, she was crazy.

Starting point is 00:16:51 franchise on being you know fashionably unstable for sure yeah my agent keeps telling me I should be doing something you hurt my agent
Starting point is 00:16:59 well no here's the thing because I feel like everybody's got some shit they popping on and she's like oh yeah you got a lot of stuff you do you should probably do something

Starting point is 00:17:26 in different but we've been saying she okay you know what see that's what it is yeah first of all before we go any further can we talk about this
Starting point is 00:17:33 one little curl you got in the back that was intentional that was intentional ooh Becca you got some good hair what is this like 3B this is a 3B to see
Starting point is 00:17:40 yeah we're slipping a 4A when I pick it out ooh it looks good I put a little product on today for y'all for us I could tell
Starting point is 00:17:47 I was like oh Becca put herself together for us you know what I didn't put on a wig or nothing I'm like you don't need it
Starting point is 00:17:52 I'm just gonna put my hair in a bun and see you know how the girls feel about it you don't need it honey let's talk I'm also out of wig money
Starting point is 00:17:59 while we're talking about being broken. Wig money. But your wigs be looking cute though. No. Like you walk in and it's like,
Starting point is 00:18:05 oh, her hair looks great and then you'll get on stage and say, this is a wig and I'll be like, yes, ma'am. Yeah. I really know how to pluck.
Starting point is 00:18:11 YouTube. Pluck them parts. YouTube. First of all, Marie, I was looking for YouTube experts. So we're talking about unofficial experts.
Starting point is 00:18:18 I feel like I'm the unofficial expert on unofficial experts on YouTube because I learned everything on YouTube. Really? I was looking for crochet braids.
Starting point is 00:18:25 I found a 17,000 hit video of Marie sticking crochet braids in her hair wow from five or six like four maybe four years ago
Starting point is 00:18:33 I haven't done a YouTube video in a while but I used to do them like regularly I was rocking crochet braids like the whole end of the spring and I had them in
Starting point is 00:18:40 it was part of it was based on like a tutorial you did of how to like loop them in look at me you know just out here helping the community
Starting point is 00:18:47 yeah I pick up like all my wig tips I'm like plug your part put some powder in it what were we doing before YouTube everybody just looked
Starting point is 00:18:54 figuring shit out the hard way use an encyclopedias to look up crochet like what were we doing honestly I was just paying somebody else to do it and I truly still do that because I am not a do it yourself bitch I'm not
Starting point is 00:19:09 I'm really I am not arts and crafty I'm like listen that's because you're not poor enough you haven't hit your rock bottom bad enough yeah like it was the point where I was doing hair back in Chicago because I figured out how to do hair and people were like oh we like what you did and I'm like well
Starting point is 00:19:24 I feel safe enough to charge you for this which is unethical but like okay Amina Imani work Amina no no no this is not unethical
Starting point is 00:19:31 like I mean work her shout out to our friend Amina Imani oh yeah see I don't do braid braids so I'm ready to let her I'll do a twist
Starting point is 00:19:38 you know I'll do a two strand a two strand three strands that seems professional so I can't yeah you gotta you gotta hold it weird dexterity
Starting point is 00:19:45 fuck that no Amina did Sidney's braids and she does Sonya's hair she like hooks people up yes yes so like when I need
Starting point is 00:19:52 a professional three strand braid that's who I'm going to go to but anything up until three strands I'm like I could I could roll one piece I could finesse this yeah
Starting point is 00:19:59 whatever yeah so what's your like go to website for wigs like what can we talk about this well there was a site
Starting point is 00:20:07 called sisterwigs.com based in Chicago oh I remember no no they no longer exist I used to use them Sam's Beauty is my Sam's Beauty is my current and they stay with a sale
Starting point is 00:20:17 listen synthetic wigs okay synthetic wigs is where I thrive right and you can make if you take care of it or you get the right
Starting point is 00:20:24 type of hair a synthetic wig will look natural really oh yes I mean if you've ever seen me in a wig it has been synthetic
Starting point is 00:20:31 not a human hair on this head I can't afford it not a blend no not a blend sweetie no but you always
Starting point is 00:20:37 have it together every time well it's a facade and I like to maintain it like when I found like synthetic wigs I was like oh I never have to
Starting point is 00:20:47 comb my hair again like that's the breakthrough it happened because I'm lazy number one I'm lazy I don't like to do my hair
Starting point is 00:20:53 natural hair takes way too long 5,000 products so long 5,000 products like this is the natural hairstyle you will see me with
Starting point is 00:20:59 if you catch me with some natural hair it's overwhelming you might have called me at a show with a bun one day it looks great and I love it
Starting point is 00:21:05 I love it your hair looks healthy thanks cause I don't do nothing to it whatsoever but you got a good texture though
Starting point is 00:21:11 my texture is like my texture looks like Morgan Freeman's face it's like she alive it's been old been old oh my god
Starting point is 00:21:19 don't listen to her this is also me like re like before summer like if i took off my wigs it's like one big unit it's like my hair is all like one together yeah to peace so now i'm like you know what you could do more yeah because i so i cut my hair off a few years ago like because i thought it was cool i dyed it pink all sorts of like just too much real comic book convention yeah very much like i'm interesting can you tell from a distance
Starting point is 00:21:42 very very much it's too much how pink like barbie pink like no no like like the like the fuck boy balloon I brought you pink, like pastel pink or pastel purple. Like a mini menage pink. Now, wait, is that a sign that something is a little off when people are doing all these different colors with their hair? I think that's a sign that's like, it's a little
Starting point is 00:22:03 off. Well, it's something like, yeah, unstable, I don't know about unstable, but I do know that that specific shade of like millennial pink, if you see a girl who has that hair, she definitely likes weird sex shit. Like, she definitely wants to get choked, you know what I mean? And it's just not me, because I'm on this
Starting point is 00:22:19 so this is we're gonna talk about a sex website I guess this is a website called FetLife it's for like people who like fetish stuff every sub
Starting point is 00:22:25 you a member? yeah I'm a member are you a dom or a sub? I'm a sub and you have to pay for this? no it's free I don't pay for I don't pay for anything

Starting point is 00:26:07 It's Valentine's Day, So they know every man is going to be in there getting something for his little thotty girlfriend. I'm going to just do it for myself because things at Mandy are no more than $10. And I feel like that is if you spend $11 at Mandy, you play just well, an item. If you get an item that's over $11. Yeah. And if you get in good with the cash register person, they could get you some coupons and you could slip it up. They got apps.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Like it's a Mandy app. Yeah. It's a rainbow app. It's a Mandy app. Rainbow got a lot of nerve. There's a rainbow app. Yes. They don't even really have a website.

Starting point is 00:26:49 There's a spot that I used to shop at. It's functional because it's gentrified now. Yeah. It's all up and through downtown, and it's like white people. Rihanna shot at them out on stage. No. Yes. Rih, Rih.

Starting point is 00:27:59 or something I talk about this place too much well that's you gotta know what you like number one like part of it is like buying deals on shit like i'm always like looking for the cheapest thing like i just found pretty girl i heard y'all talk about pretty girl pretty girl strawberry have you been i don't even know what strawberry is i gotta go to jamaica after yeah okay but when you go to these stores everybody you walk in you walk in and you see the person next to you like i shouldn't be in here if this is in here i should not be any to any shop where you got to check your bag
Starting point is 00:28:29 when you walk in. It's a couple signs. It's like, do you have to check your bag? Do they accept like EBT for leggings? Like, that's a problem.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Like, the rainbow I go to on a regular basis accepts EBT. There's no hot food there. There's no food hot or cold there. And I appreciate that because everybody got to dress.
Starting point is 00:28:47 But like, that's a sign where I'm like, we're getting a deal. Like, we're getting a strong, powerful deal in here. Well, I hate when the couples come in
Starting point is 00:28:53 because it gets real rowdy. I was there when this woman was like trying to find something sexy in the little fake ass lingerie department and she kept like
Starting point is 00:29:03 trying to show her man like what about this and he was not paying he's like girl listen this is just like you're showing me tights he's like this is string cheese
Starting point is 00:29:10 I don't know what's happening here so then he picks up this dress that literally looks like the rainbow bag and he's like what about this babe
Starting point is 00:29:17 and it's like oh you done fucked up she went off on him for like at least 10 minutes I was like y'all done fucked up my shopping experience
Starting point is 00:29:25 see now we're because i like that i love the rainbow fight the rainbow fight makes it that's part of the experience like if i was gonna be i'm so my expert is fabulously fabulously unstable if i go to the mall or if i go to a nice establishment we're gonna see the fights like no that's a part of the instability you know what i mean like the last time i was and i'll be in there with my boyfriend too so i'm like every problem girl your man your man be everywhere yeah i haven't seen him in a while he got a job he's got a new job for him good for you i know i'm like one of us gotta work shit okay i don't have a job who was paying for stuff before exactly oh talk about it exactly
Starting point is 00:30:02 who was paying for it before where was the money coming from they was like no he see we had a job where he could go to shows and stuff now he's got a job where it's like oh so you're not gonna have no money so i should probably have more money type of situation oh good for him i love it god He loves you. I could tell. I think better. Did you meet him on FetLife? Nope.
Starting point is 00:30:22 You met him in real life? Nope. I met him on Tinder. Oh, okay. I thought you were going to say something like outrageous. It's like Tinder, everybody doing their shit. Doesn't it seem like I was going to? No.
Starting point is 00:30:31 It did. I was like, is that FetLife? Nope, it's just regular ass, basic ass Tinder. Yep. Basic ass Tinder. Let's talk about dating and being fabulously unstable. Let's get into that. You guys have been together for a little while.
Starting point is 00:30:45 How long you guys been together? a couple months um like like like six months since the summer like eight nine months something like that yeah okay so yeah what is what is it like dating and being unstable well being in a relationship feels good it's like it's the most stable thing i have going on um before like honestly the the reason why i'm trying to be like broken independently unstable is because before this i was definitely like oh like birdman hand rub let me see what i can get from this man like that's that was the whole honest you're being honest about this why not up top what can you do for me i mean yeah why are you here what's good what you bring into the chat i mean 20s i feel
Starting point is 00:31:22 like we're i had a conversation with a friend y'all know this wonderful hilarious comedian name is science and he yeah we were talking about the old days in chicago reminiscing she's complaining about jobs fucked up apartments and i was like i got nothing to add to the conversation and she's like well the reason is because well we had jobs and struggling departments you had different boyfriends and i'm like a read yes a read a word a word and a read so yeah there's nothing wrong with that i didn't feel like there was until yeah so i have no i have no problem with women you know securing the bag whatever that bag may be it may be like a bag of money a bag of scrotums whatever a bag of scrotums no thank you but i feel like when you were in our like that's
Starting point is 00:32:01 what our 20s and our 20s like that's what we're supposed to be doing is like dating men for because Men date women for what? I mean For sex? Well so the reason I never felt bad about it And I still don't particularly Is because
Starting point is 00:32:14 I don't feel like anybody Was getting hurt You know what I mean? So I was like doing comedy Trying to like win comedy And all that silly shit While I live really far Like I live with my mom
Starting point is 00:32:22 When I started comedy So I'm like You know what I need to do is I need to be closer To all this shit And I was meeting All these people and stuff And I'm like
Starting point is 00:32:29 You know what? I'm just gonna I was just moving in with dudes I'm gonna live with them I was just moving in So Becky you always had Like a duffel bag Yeah
Starting point is 00:32:36 like I had a joke like I need to like a Mary Poppins bag like I need to put insurance on this bag because if I lose it if I lose it that's my life like you had a comedy notebook full of stuff oh my god bullshit a toothbrush you had an ironing board but you was ready makeup bag yeah makeup all my clothes stretch I don't need to iron shit all my clothes stretch I don't need to iron okay yes I love it that was the lifestyle then so now it went bad one particular time one particular time i was living with this dude it was cool we were in a like we got into a real relationship it wasn't just me on some bullshit yep and uh he turned out to be super crazy so i like had to get did you see the signs
Starting point is 00:33:18 oh yeah okay he was like he was like at every show which is not i like that shit but like no but no but to the point where like it wasn't my decision it was like no i'm gonna be at this show like that type of shit no I feel like anybody who likes you doesn't want to be at a show
Starting point is 00:33:34 too much like Adrienne she came to a few shows in the beginning and then she was I took her to one open mic and she was like
Starting point is 00:33:41 never again why would you open mic I don't like being at open mics I wouldn't bring somebody nobody likes being at open mics I wouldn't invite somebody I care about to an open mic
Starting point is 00:33:50 also like I'm not coming to all the shows like I don't want you to come to all the shows because you know I'm doing a lot of the same jokes the same jokes yep
Starting point is 00:33:57 I'm remixing things like I don't and I don't need you giving me notes after a show stay home oh I wish no that's not that couldn't that would never work for me I had to stop talking to this dude because he tried to give me notes that's gross he's like that joke and I was like you banned for life if you come to a show you you won't get escorted out no I didn't know that this was like a youthful I was like 20 I don't know how old I was 26 20 something dumb yeah exactly 20 dumb and he was coming so I I was like feeling it and I realized

Starting point is 00:34:56 my hips we don't even date and i'm like yo becca those are our hips those are our hips yeah we know you can have one you can have one um yeah he did not take well to that so i was just like you know what no more so you had to go to the cops and like file a report yeah like order perception that's why i moved here like i left all that shit in chicago so i'm like i gotta get away from this crazy nigga girl you he might be outside he's not outside i mean he's there's it's if he googled you he know you thriving you out here well that's the problem though like so doing comedy and i heard you got a stalker too doing comedy your schedule is public like and you can't be like lol come to my show but i can't tell you where it is like that doesn't work like you have to have
Starting point is 00:35:33 out where you are at all times so he was like using that shit to like try to scare me and stuff but i like i got a lawyer got a gun i don't have it no more got a gun oh it was serious you were putting a gun in a rainbow's purse here's the thing the straps are not strong up the whole day. You know what? It must have been a light gun. You know what? It was a 3D printed gun.
Starting point is 00:35:55 I told my dad, like, all this shit was happening and my dad was like, okay, I'm gonna get you a gun. I was like, I don't want a gun. Like, where am I, all my clothes are tight.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Where am I gonna put a gun? So it was one of those. I wanted a pink gun. It was a pistol. It was a little. It was a revolver. No, it was a tiny little, I got small hands,
Starting point is 00:36:09 so it was a little Ruger. It was a little one. It was a Ruger, yeah. Yeah, it was like Harlem Nights type little gun. Like a little prostitute gun. I know, yeah. Sucker.
Starting point is 00:36:16 Yeah. Get your hand out of my pocket. I used to have a joke, because somebody asked me, another damn female comic, like, where would you, I see how you dress. Physically, where would you put a gun? In your boobs. And the joke was like, I'll let you smell it. Like, because you can't put it nowhere.
Starting point is 00:36:28 I'll let you smell it. You can't put it nowhere that's, that's. I'll let you smell it. Your dad got you a gun. You got a cool dad. I got a crazy dad. Yeah. Your dad feels tall.
Starting point is 00:36:39 You think. Yeah. Tall personality. No. I'll get you a gun feel small to me he's he feels like a small dad
Starting point is 00:36:46 he's six foot you know he's an American he's an American man and he's just he's just crazy that's all and I had a crazy white boy
Starting point is 00:36:53 after me so he's like we're getting you a gun like yeah first of all you leave a white man you might could die I learned that
Starting point is 00:36:58 and this seems like racism but it's anecdotal it's anecdotal okay let's talk about the white boy it's white people listening to this let's get into it
Starting point is 00:37:06 and I want I want people to know that this is not like a race not at all racist thing because Netflix has all these documentaries on documentaries about beige alabaster dudes
Starting point is 00:37:18 going off, shooting up, chopping up bodies. And it's a doc. Running around with bodies in the trunk. Bodies in the freezer around the turkey that they serving for Thanksgiving. The statistics don't lie, friend. It's like 92% of y'all's crazy. I have nothing to say.
Starting point is 00:37:33 I have nothing to add about that. Andrew knows. He be dating white dudes. Yeah, Andrew don't even date white dudes. And he's white. He's like, I'm not about to get murdered. He's like, I want to live. I'm not about to get hate-crimed.
Starting point is 00:37:47 I'm not going to throw all that out there, but I'm going to say I haven't since. Okay. Okay, because you learned your lesson. Well, because you're trying to live. I'm trying to live. Let me accomplish something before I get murdered. For sure.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Also, I don't want to be like a super narcissist, but I'm like, I ain't did enough to die now. Yes. In the Midwest, I'm not dying in the Midwest. Also, you don't want to die wearing a rainbow. I can't. wear a diet wearing you know
Starting point is 00:38:12 whatever the next level of that is I will say the stuff like the the stuff that's in all black in rainbow
Starting point is 00:38:18 it's cute shut up it look high end the all black shut your ass let me tell you let me tell you I will be showing up
Starting point is 00:38:25 people love when I go to shows but I always do show up to bar shows and dresses and shit that's my first mistake but they're like why are you so dressed up and I have on like
Starting point is 00:38:31 seven total dollars of clothes like head to toe so I'm like am I dressed up or are your standards low like get your life together no no no get your life together
Starting point is 00:38:38 they're wearing a potato sack for sure like oh my god you're so dressed up like wow you put on a shirt that's crazy on a patagonia vest and some windbreaker pants yeah i can't i can't do it don't be fooled by the old navy now becca i feel like you've been talking about the you know the people who are a little off but i feel like i talked to you a little bit and i'm like becca what is going on with you like if i was crazy if i was dating you what you mean if i was dating you i would be i would if i was dating you I would be a little worried.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Probably. And what would you be worried about? Okay, real question. Well, you have an incredible vocabulary, but you use words that are like, what is that? You'd be like, Siri, what is phenomenal? Well, so when I pitch Black Nerds,
Starting point is 00:39:29 I feel like y'all are like, we don't read that. So let's fast forward. What's that? Rewind. Let's rewind to when I started comedy. So what you're seeing now, this little peak of vocabulary
Starting point is 00:39:39 it was very much like there was nothing else besides that it was just all like I'm a nerd and I came to like recite my jokes at you like that type of shit
Starting point is 00:39:45 oh see I didn't even see that and I'm so glad did you scrub it clean not really I grew up like I also just grew the fuck up like it was very much like
Starting point is 00:39:54 I'm gonna my jokes were not just like big words but big words but also about comic books and science and people were like the fuck
Starting point is 00:40:00 I was performing in alt rooms they loved it bitch are you akeelah in the beat a little bit it took me going to black rooms to really figure out how to be funny like because i was like i had a lot of well-crafted jokes and everybody loved how clever that shit was
Starting point is 00:40:13 it took me going to a place that no longer exists in chicago called jokes and notes where in chicago there's like this radio show this dude tony scofield i grew up listening to him he's hosting an open mic i go there i think i'm ready to kill because i've been killing for white people for four months of comedy so i'm a professional now i go to this black room in front of my hero who then goes up and roasts me and i'm like okay did he talk about it on the radio no no he thank god he did not but i'm like i've been listening to him on the radio in a car with my parents every morning as a child i'm coming here thinking i'm ready to like kill it because i've been killing it and i what did he say he said i was a librarian he talked about my
Starting point is 00:40:47 cardigan he was like i didn't understand i had on a cardigan and a church dress you had on a knee high white tights yeah it was it was fucked up he like roasted me and i was like so what i need to do now is hit more black rooms number one figure out how to like be funny instead of like just say these jokes with all these words and i mean like that shaped me up so fast because like bombing in front of your own people is really brutal yep and i was like this is not how i this is not how my career is about to be so so after that first bad bomb did you start did you throw yourself into these black rooms or did you just start doing less nerdy things i i don't think i changed anything i just like expanded my like because you i feel like y'all both have the type of style where you talk
Starting point is 00:41:30 about what happens in your own personal life yeah i had to expand my experience as a human like i was having very narrow like experiences so i'm like let me just experience more life and then write about that shit so that's and you start fucking all right cool pretty much literally literally she opened those legs and i was like opened her mind yeah so if you want to be a better comedian start fucking yeah okay i mean it's a lot of sad people on stage talking about they lonely yeah that's what therapy is for go see a therapist sometimes no how dare you the callback was rude also sit
Starting point is 00:42:03 therapyforblackgirls.com therapyforblackgirls.com that's where I found my therapist like it's a podcast it's everything all the therapists are black women
Starting point is 00:42:12 I think that's all one black man on there he probably they take they each take different things and they have all their extensive
Starting point is 00:42:19 because I ain't trying to do no sliding scale bullshit because the thing is you go in there and it was well how much can you pay and it's like
Starting point is 00:42:26 I can't I have nothing actually so here's the thing You got to just not feel bad about it. Or I don't know what this vibe is. But if they say I can pay, like if they're like, well, you have the option to pay this
Starting point is 00:42:36 much. I'm like, well, you shouldn't have gave me the option if you didn't want this amount of money. Oh, anytime I go somewhere and they're like, it's donation based. I'd be like, I'm not. I'm donating 25 cents. Well, yeah, I love my therapist and I want to compensate her like she deserves. But if she's like, you can pay $38.
Starting point is 00:42:50 I'm like, well, you can get $38. You can't get this $38. Well, you can't get it. That's how much you're going to get. Because it's like a scale from like $38 to $100. and I'm like you're getting $39 you're not getting this $100
Starting point is 00:43:01 you're getting $37 who has a $100 I love a suggested donation because I'd be like y'all just suggesting this well I'm just going to provide $12 and my therapist
Starting point is 00:43:11 would never show up in a Tom also it broke my heart I don't even hate Toms but listen I yeah they build they give shoes to Africans
Starting point is 00:43:20 she has a good heart because for each shoe there's a shoe to a child bitch I don't give a fuck about your heart and your donation to Tom or whatever I'm here
Starting point is 00:43:27 I don't think they're an ugly shoe. Yeah, I'm here to talk, and I can't because I'm looking at your fucking feet. What color are the Toms? They were blue. Like, they're the denim. The denim fake? Yeah. Oh, fake jean?
Starting point is 00:43:39 I mean, y'all stop at a rainbow, and y'all don't like fake denim? I'm currently wearing fake denim, okay? Toms are. They did look like jail shoes. Oh, Toms are jail shoes. Wow. Tom are jail shoes. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:43:53 Should I write? I should fucking go back there and be like, if you want me to come back, you need to change your shoes well here she's gonna be like i don't need help you do yeah i feel like therapy relationship same shit don't try to change them find somebody who's better for you like my therapist is a baddie like i can't i feel like i could tell her anything like she wears colorful headdresses like she's very yeah but if my if you're in my mind i don't go to therapy but if my therapist was too fine and looked like they had their life too together she was just that i'm just gonna feel like she gonna judge me more i feel like as a black woman who is like making
Starting point is 00:44:27 some effort to not wear toms and shit and look like a bum she understands where i'm coming from like yeah she has an experience that she she live in bushwick like she's she's a human she's a regular person like she needs all 39 of these dollars and she's gonna work for him so yeah she got conversation is frustrating me but i'm laughing well i should have been in therapy a long time ago right so i mean you're getting where you can has it helped yeah nah that didn't sound like a solid yeah that's because also like what you were talking about your therapist like the first time she was trying to like for real get in my business i'm like bitch why are you getting in my business but like i don't know you yeah yeah so once i got past that whole like how
Starting point is 00:45:10 long did it take you to like really open up i've been to therapy before this is the first time since i moved here like when i was because when i was in court i was in court for a year with my soccer my lawyer made me get a therapist because i was ready to fight everybody you were in court for a year dealing with this how long were y'all together rich white man whose dad is a judge and i'm a i'm a girl from the south side of chicago and that's how the court treated both of us it took all year long like the white guy was a sucker you think you're gonna break up with me no one leaves greg literally literally that type of energy you got the energy nailed yeah so my therapist was like so you you seem like you're
Starting point is 00:45:46 ready to fight everybody so what you should do is go to therapy um so I did that but I haven't been since that happened and this lady she's cool she's fine as hell and she's also like um what you should probably do is chill out and that's all we talk about is how I should chill out Sydney you should maybe take her uh information I mean it's $39 just go to just go to uh therapy for black girls you'll find somebody who probably speaks to you more because I definitely found a girl who had like a round face like I'm a narcissist like she got cheeks you know what I mean like I'm like she reminds me of myself I've been like
Starting point is 00:46:14 let me see your Instagram how many followers you got bitch you don't have no followers for me to be here I don't know if you're verified or not oh my god
Starting point is 00:46:22 Sydney I'll just send you the Patreon money so you can check this thing out cause we got a Patreon we got bonus episodes there they pay for that y'all gotta figure it out
Starting point is 00:46:31 see y'all plug plug plug I mean it sounds like we have it figured out but we don't this sounds like you know revenue you don't have to think about
Starting point is 00:46:37 that's what I'm hearing and that sounds revenue yeah that's an interesting word it is an interesting word I'd like to know more about it Becca's writing it so you said a Patreon
Starting point is 00:46:48 oh hey next week fucking Becca has a Patreon of her twerking in videos yes and doing spelling bees and what not don't throw me a good time yeah like I'm dead at honestly just reading comic books
Starting point is 00:47:03 which is fine I'm okay well y'all know I mean there's money in everything like do y'all know about Twitch I saw on Twitter that you were talking about that Twitch sounds familiar to me. It's a streaming service, but it's mostly for nerds. It's supposed to be a video game streaming platform, but
Starting point is 00:47:20 you can use it to be an unofficial cam girl. You can just sit there and either play video games or whatever in booty shorts, and people be like, would you want money? And I'm like, yes. Would you want money? Would you want money? I don't want your nerdy ass dick. Give me monies. Have you got coins from that?
Starting point is 00:47:36 I was straight up camming for a while, though. For how long? Oh my God, like four months. I came here with some GoFundMe money after that whole court thing happened. Everybody felt real bad for me. So they're like, get out of town. They're like, get out of here.
Starting point is 00:47:48 Yeah, because I had to leave my TV show. I had to pack and leave out of here. So I got a bunch of money from white people on NPR. It was like they put on NPR. Everybody felt so bad. I ran out of that money in like two months. Look at me. I'm like, NPR?
Starting point is 00:47:59 That's where I need to get started. GoFundMe. Well, first, meet a white dude. Leave him. Have him stalk you. Have the NPR pick up the story. I met a white dude. I left him.
Starting point is 00:48:08 I didn't get no money. Yeah, at all. I mean I also didn't spend any money for that for sure so that that sounds tell me more about what not spending what
Starting point is 00:48:17 I mean I just you know you show up my presence is a presence I'm contributing by being here and it's like I'm honestly too broke to be here right now like I should
Starting point is 00:48:25 I have like an indoor amount of money so I don't you were always talking about Venmo U and I've been like yo she ain't got no shame at all what is called shame she ain't got no shame or money yeah
Starting point is 00:48:35 I mean honestly I feel like the worst thing that ever happened to me was that GoFundMe because I'm like oh I could just ask the internet for money lol I'm gonna try that well the internet does give money
Starting point is 00:48:46 to people that dude that was trying to raise money for the wall raised like a billion dollars and then they had to give the money back obviously wait why because he changed what he was like oh we're gonna go down there and build the wall and GoFundMe was like that's not what you told people you was gonna do with this money
Starting point is 00:49:02 they had to send it all back no what did he originally say he was gonna do they were gonna raise the money and give it to the government oh fuck why did he switch that and then he was like we're gonna go down there with pickup trucks
Starting point is 00:49:12 and shovels and Mexicans to build the wall from Home Depot and it was like what no so they had to give
Starting point is 00:49:20 the money back but they raised like a billion dollars people love giving their money away on the internet and I check GoFundMes on a regular
Starting point is 00:49:26 and I look at how much they're giving and the notes that they're saying and it's like ooh and that's that's the only reason
Starting point is 00:49:33 why I'm like yo I wouldn't want to die unexpectedly because then people are raising money and I'm not here and it's like bitch raise that money now
Starting point is 00:49:40 can we get the money now I will say that I'll take it now yeah I'm gonna end up begging people are tired of me now it don't work no more like I did it for so long
Starting point is 00:49:47 that people are like we're tired of your begging ass get a job get a job you young and healthy get a job go suck a dick under a bridge for some money
Starting point is 00:49:55 it doesn't work anymore but I will say it did for a while and I need to cut it out but also if I need tacos next week and I don't have no money I'm gonna ask on Venmo like on Twitter
Starting point is 00:50:04 so I mean it's it's a movement okay so wait It's a lifestyle. I don't know if it is. I think I need to cut it out. It's a lifestyle.
Starting point is 00:50:10 I don't think it is. Wait, so you heard it here first. Becca's like, it don't really work no more. But I'm going to keep doing it. So you're like a cat caller. You're like a cat caller on Venmo. Well, I do that shows now. Because I try to promote.
Starting point is 00:50:25 Because afterwards, you know, people come up to you. They're like, oh, we love you so much. And so I'm like, Becca, I'm just going to be on everything. Instagram, Venmo, Twitter, find me. And sometimes they send you money. I don't know. well go ahead and tell your drop your Venmo now

Starting point is 00:50:59 Becca right there I just wanna get some tacos I don't even want guac you know I'm not asking for much I'm a simple broke bitch. With my brokenness, I don't try to shoot for the stars. I don't chase waterfalls.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Chasing waterfalls. What are some... I mean, that's AIDS. It is AIDS. I watched the video, sis. That is AIDS. That is a bad metaphor. We're getting cold body lying in the gutter.
Starting point is 00:51:20 Oh, my God. That's chasing waterfalls. Okay, so what's the end goal for you? In an ideal world, what would you be doing? Where would you be working? Oh, for sure. Would you be wearing a caftan? Tell us what it looks like.
Starting point is 00:51:33 No, not caftan. That's not the dream. um i guess just it's comedy do you want to be doing stand-up until it turns into something or do you want to do it until you die i didn't even realize that stand-up was like a means to an end until i moved here like i was like i'm telling jokes on stage because i love telling jokes on stage and i thought like you could get rich just doing stand-up how that works i didn't know who told you that i don't think anybody told me that why did you think her dreams told her that i just wanted to start i just wanted to tell jokes and i thought like if you just told enough jokes
Starting point is 00:51:59 one day like oh absolutely that's that you would just make it you knew that the first couple open mics i was like oh people are dying here this is where comedy goes absolutely yeah oh girl did you start here yeah okay so i in chicago there's very much a culture like if you just work hard enough like one day you will be famous and i moved here and i was like okay i'm going to meetings it was super cool like meeting people but i would get there who people who only knew me from doing stand-up and they'd be like so what else do you do and i'm like stand up what else i'm like that's the only reason you know i exist the way i spent five years getting good at stand up that's what i do so now i'm like i gotta do some other shit so that's real yeah so now the dream is like just
Starting point is 00:52:38 continuing doing comedy and but also you know making a living doing that shit and uh so writing yeah i'm packeting now we're we're doing the packets you know you're a great writer well thank you you're so good my background is in writing but i never like wrote comedy shit i like wrote about comedy before i started like i was in it i was editing that split sider so my job before i started stand-up was just interviewing comedians and i did that for like gawker vandy fair oh you got a plug over there come on do i got a plug i was fired no the outlets are all covered friend the outlets are all covered you got fired why wait hold on did you bang somebody at work no becca why are you here i was like oh we got the plug right here
Starting point is 00:53:24 and she's like actually well so when i found stand up because i thought you know use my name bitch they will block you i mean i don't know about that but then you're not gonna help you do nothing um i don't think it's gonna hurt but it's not gonna help um so like splits out i quit like at a decent you know it wasn't unceremonious or nothing like that but um i was like helping out somebody who was on a book tour and i was like writing their articles who wrote for vanity fair and i had just found stand-up so i wasn't really creatively focusing on anything else with my full energy missing deadlines writing bullshit not editing stuff properly typos and shit and I'm like you know what this is this is not where my heart is so and uh Splitsider I just quit on my
Starting point is 00:54:05 own accord and then I just never got another writing opportunity from Vanity Fair ever again after 2012 or 13 or some shit yeah so oh because you were fucking up at Vanity Fair yeah and also for Splitsider I did this thing called the humor section where people like email in their written humor pieces and i'm like yay or nay and i'm a person who has never told a joke on stage at this point so you don't know i mean i know i know print humor that's what i mean i went to school for literature a few times so you wanted to be poor i wanted to be poor it's one of my major cards for you i wanted to be an artiste you went to school for literature oh you were comparing wait wait comparative literary theory i didn't want to make a dime okay um oh you just it was all bullshit in
Starting point is 00:54:45 your head right there oh most of my life i find uh bullshit in my head until i realized that something else is happening than what I thought and then you're like oh yeah I moved to New York so I stopped doing Splitsider because I was getting pieces submitted to me from comedians who I respected and I loved and I was like I can't publish this and also I'm a new open miker so the hierarchy felt wrong to me like I was getting like people who I really respect and I'm like I don't want to publish this piece but what does that sound like like because I'm gonna have to see you tomorrow why you don't want to publish it well you know some someone just weren't weren't good your shit was whack
Starting point is 00:55:18 they just weren't good like it is not these are people who are hilarious but it's just like for whatever reason like it wouldn't be like every piece
Starting point is 00:55:24 but like if somebody I like sent me a piece that wasn't good I'm not gonna put it up just cause they're a great stand up word Becca that's good
Starting point is 00:55:30 you telling me I feel like it was a conflict of interest though because as a comedian I had nothing to show for myself so if I'm like rejecting pieces
Starting point is 00:55:36 from somebody and then going bombing in front of them something's off so I quit that job girl listen people ask about a spot at the net
Starting point is 00:55:42 I'll be like nah they'll see me the next day I'll be like so uh I'm just going to say how my day was. I'm just going to workshop some new material. I don't give a fuck. No, you can't do this show. Cindy, you don't give a what?
Starting point is 00:55:52 Fuck. I'll be at my own knitting show. Like, well, I don't know if they're going to laugh, but whatever. See, now me as a woman in the autumn of her life, like, I feel that now. Like, if I had the same position now, I'd be like, I really, it means nothing. But at 20-something, a brand new comedian, I was like, oh, my God, I'm going to get fired from comedy. And I felt like it was a huge conflict of interest. Also, I didn't care about that job no more.
Starting point is 00:56:12 So, like. Conflict of interest? Yeah. you know what's a conflict of interest not being able to pay my phone bill that's a conflict of interest I wasn't going to get fired anyways I wasn't doing shit on time it was all wrong

Starting point is 01:00:01 like an unethical website or whatever. It's a website where you can say what you want and people can get you. No, no, no. It's like a website where you go to it, you scroll it, they got everything. It's like Amazon, but everything is like $1. What? What? I get free lingerie on there all the time. Wait, is it used lingerie? No, it's just from like
Starting point is 01:00:17 it's just from like, definitely like a plant where the conditions is probably not great. Wish.com It's an app, it's everything. And when I tell you I get so much stuff from Wish, it takes like a month to show up. Okay. It's like a, what's that show? I mean, that website where, like, it's, like, one of them Chinese websites.
Starting point is 01:00:35 It's exactly like that. Wish.com. So, I use them out. It's, like, if you have any sort of, like, consumer ethics, don't go there. Okay. Estate sales. I love those. I used to work at an auction house, and I didn't know about estate sales, but, like,
Starting point is 01:00:50 when old, old, old rich people die, they just have a stuff. They just collect stuff. Okay. So, you get, like, furniture and, like, heirlooms and stuff. Anything you want. But, like, if an old person dies, like, I swear, like, go to their house. you can get like in Chicago
Starting point is 01:01:01 I haven't really tried it here but you can get bags of like vintage clothing they'll be like take a bag of stuff for five dollars just get this out of the house a bag of stuff
Starting point is 01:01:09 look up estate sales look up estate sales on Craigslist I feel like in New York they don't do that they do that cause it be nice stuff and people know
Starting point is 01:01:17 about them here and they just be or people just be dying in like you know these studio apartments and ain't nobody want that shit well there's also that's not an estate friend
Starting point is 01:01:26 that's not an estate like if you die with nothing to your name I don't think you can considering the state see that's another reason why i can't die yeah i can't die because i don't have an estate that's a good reason to stay alive assets shit yeah if i die there's no will it's just like it's gonna be like who is gonna pay the money that i owe when i'm dead um oh yeah what else what else um let's see what other advice what other hacks do i be doing um sales and stuff like
