Do you think you would survive in like an apocalypse situation? No, no, no, no, no, I wear glasses. There's no, no, no. It's not in the cards for glasses. No, no, no. I'm an hour. I kiss gab. Let's just hold each other and wait for the dogs to eat us.

Hey, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of the comment section show, starring me, your favorite. Everybody knows me who cares about me. On to the guests. Today we have the iconic, the hilarious, the unbelievably talented, Robbie Hoffman. Woo! Thank you.

Welcome to the show. Um, you know what? I actually appreciate that you were nine minutes late now because it fits your personality. Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. For some reason, if it was a dude, if I thought it was this guy drew, which is what I thought this podcast was. With a man going on a podcast with Drew. Drew, Drew, I assume, I guess there's Drew Barrymore. Yes, of course. I don't know why my first thing is to think Drew was a man. You should work on that. Right? It's because I think the first drew I knew was a boy in school whose name was Drew. It's very hot. I never talked to him. And what if that's me? what?

What do you mean? But if it was you, yeah, if you were the dude Drew and you're late, I'm going, this fucker thinks I have nothing better to do than wait for his ass on his shit. Because I was telling them, it's like showing up to somebody's house when they're not even there yet. Right. It's like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, whoa. It's like an ET feeling like you're in somebody's house.

They're not even home. Yeah. And they're like, make yourself comfortable. It's like, I'm not comfortable. It's like crime scene. Can't touch anything. Yeah. It's like you want to be in somebody's house when they're in the house.

That's true. This episode of the comment section is presented by Amazon. This off to college season, Save on College, save the everyday. College is a chaotic time full of change, but also the starting point of some pretty great experiences. From stocking your dorm with study snacks and cleaning supplies, to stocking your closet with everything you need to slay those theme parties, with Amazon's great deals and everyday low prices, you can find comfort in the chaos.

Shop off to college at Amazon. Save on college, save the every day. That is true. My apologies for being like, I did have to be. No, no, no. Now it checks out because you remind me of my little sister a little bit. Right. And to her, derogatory. Time's an idea. It's a construct. Yeah. Yeah, it's really what we make it, I would say. I think you were, well, earlier before we started recording when you were running a 23 and me on my ancestry.

Right. And we were talking about that in depth. I was going to add to that someone people are notoriously late for everything. You know what? That makes sense. Yeah. I'm happy that I met you and it makes sense. All the pieces are connected. Right, because if you listen to the first ten, I'm irate. I mean, they don't know what to do with me. And now that everything you have answers, it's like, oh, orders restore. Yes, of course.

This just checks out. You show up with your mom, your sister. Yes. 97 people here. And all lesbians. Yeah. Most of them. Yeah.

You most of them are gay. It's terrible. It's okay. He said it's terrible. One of the worst things to happen to me of question. Well, I'm excited to have you here. honor to have you as a part of the show. Thank you.

And I would love to know how you got into stay. I'm a huge fan of your stand-up personally. I knew you weren't a boy. That is imperative for you. Thank you. I knew you weren't a boy. That's fantastic. You also have boy name like me.

Yes, exactly. Exactly. Exactly. No, I do do stand-up. I'm happy you're a fan. Yeah. When did I? What was the question?

How I got into it? Yeah, I would like to know how you got into it. I just, as soon as I heard about it. Yes. I did it. Right. So I just, I don't know. I kind of didn't.

You know what it is? Once I saw a movie about rock climbing. Okay, free solo with this guy, Alex Honnold. He climbs the half dome in Yosemite. He climbs, what's it called that he climbs? El Capitan? The Dykes snow. Yeah.

Okay. So he climbs this El Capitin. Now, I never heard of climbing. I didn't know people who did rock climbing. Like, as nobody I knew climbed. Then, you know, I climbed trees and things and buildings, you know, fire escapes when I was a kid. But climbing as like an activity, we didn't have a climbing gym or anything like that. Right.

But that movie, I heard of climbing and I started climbing. Okay. I started going to a climbing gym maybe a couple times a week. And I really just took to it. I just never took to exercise, really. I never felt, I never liked exercise. And or a sport. I was never good at athletics.

In high school, I was always, like, stuck in an outfield. I couldn't see the ball if it's coming, if it's not. I had just my mid-up, you know, just praying like that gym class would be over soon, you know. And that's the same with stand-up. As soon as I heard of it, I kind of thought, like, oh, I could do that or I should do that. I just told my friends, and they were like, yeah, like, they didn't really know about it either. And still supported you though, that's nice. Yeah, they were like, that actually sounds like a fit.

I was like, you know, and they're like, yeah, you're funny and let's do it. And I just started doing it. So I started discovering stand-up as I started stand-up. So that was a very, I just became in love with it. I was doing it. I was, you know, I was like figuring out that like people who had shows were stand-ups. Like Seinfeld had a show, but he was a stand-up. Ellen had a show, a daytime show, but she was a stand-up.

Like all these famous people. Yeah. You know, and I was going back and watching their stand-up. And as I was starting it, like I was doing it for like a year. And then I'm like, oh, my God, those people do stand-up. And I also, you know, then I went back and I could watch Chris Rock for the first time, Eddie Murphy. I was just enjoying falling in love with stand-up as I was doing it. But I had no preconceived notions.

I just went out as me. and thank God it worked out it worked out yeah I also had no pressure with it because I had a great accounting job oh nice so I had a job where I was getting paid every two weeks which was my priority right it was very it was my first job that I had direct deposit and I really loved that yeah big and so yeah I was like let's say I do stand up which I didn't know about and it okay I'll give it six months I get this great job they gave me a laptop for keeps.

It's pretty easy. And it's like I do, I get paid every two weeks. That's nice. So I was like, and then it ended up going good that I left that job. What's your sign? My sign? Yeah. I'm a Sagittarius.

Okay. Do you know your big three? Gabby, my wife would know this. I know that I'm too Sagittarius. Okay. Moon and Rising are the other two. If that jogs any memories. We could call her.

It's up to you. Okay. If you'd like to call her, you're more than welcome, too. I got nothing better to do. Oh, she might be at her appointment. Maybe she'll pick up. Let me see. I love that she knows.

She loves all this stuff. Yeah, me too. No, she's in her vitamin. She's in her vitamin shot. We'll call her after. But yeah, I know I'm sad to sherryas. What? I know the other one.

I forget. For the big three? What is Eminem sign? She said this. No, I'm not making this up. I really have no clue. Is it Taurus or Libra or something? I can look it up.

Let me see. It's, okay, I think it's Libra than the other one. Okay, so you have another. She told me my thing and she goes, you have a touch of, because they, she did a thing and it puts all the people that you are and one of them. And I said, you know what? Fine. There's been worse.

I actually, I like him quite a bit. I didn't consider that an insult at all. That's true. That's a good one. Mine's Beyonce. Like, for someone. that I know. Yeah. A little bit better than yours, but yeah, no, it's a pretty good one. It's not a competition, but. No, I put them at the same level. I, too. I asked your sign.

I think it goes, Beyonce Eminent. I think people, that's, that's, most people I'd say, yeah, would fall in that range. I was asking what your sign was because I was curious if you cold plunge things like that a lot. You just take them on and just try them, like comedy. You just got into stand-out. That's it. Yeah, I just decided to do it, but again, I never heard of it. And then, but over the, like, over the year I started realizing that like you know Ellen was on every day at those times so I was like like I realized she's you know there was so many stand-ups rosy was a stand-ups like everyone comedically kind of started in stand-up so it didn't seem weird to me I was like oh it is a like it seemed like a random thing stand-up but then it was like oh a real kind of like thing like it was its own

art but I never went to stand-up or knew really much about it um I guess some of my brothers and sisters did. My older sister, I remember she, when I, she always liked stand-up. Oh, nice. But, um, I'd never gone to a show or really known what the hell she was doing. Just sounded like she did it. Yeah. As soon as I was like old enough and I heard about it. I was like, oh, they're just up there taking, telling jokes. I don't know. It just, it just resonated. Did you like attention as a child? Yeah, I think, I think I always have. Me too. But it's not even attention. I just, whether I like it or not, I've always been big. big yeah like energy wise yeah i i relate to that yeah that's too yeah i think you have to like attention

to some extent to do this like there's no way you could hate it and still do this i'd say right i i yeah and i think it's different kinds of attention like i like the attention i guess but i think my my biggest motive is like i like doing and just trying new things yeah i just like doing it like is the biggest thing that's cool that's normally the heart of thing for people to do is to just try. Sounds like you know, I know. I haven't tried a lot of things. I mean, for exercise, I've tried climbing. And for creative, you know, I do writing and stand up and now acting.

But it's all been a slow discovery. Yeah, slow growth. You know, things I don't like doing. I don't do. You know, I don't do videos and stuff like that. Yeah. That's fair. But I know friends who make a tremendous amount of money doing that and they're good at it and they like doing it.

I'm not learning to edit. I don't care. I don't want to. If somebody wants to, you know, some people find me through TikTok, I'm not on TikTok. But if I liked doing that, if I thought, oh, I have an idea for a little video and I want to do it, I would do it. I just never liked doing that. I only really do what I like. That's honestly, I respect it. Which is amazing that I can make a living doing that because that's something. I never even thought of anything I'm doing as a job or as anything. Well, if I'm circling back to climbing, are you still climbing? No, I stopped climbing maybe. So I did climbing for about four years. Now I'm out of exercise again. I kept, I think I'm, I'm too, I can't be falling off a wall or anything and hurting. Like I, I had this huge bruise on my ankle. They called a contusion. And then I almost like snap my, like, I'm not.

You're fragile. Because I'm very like into climbing, but I can't, I might not make the jump. Right. Like I'll do it. And then I'm just like, oh, I'm in the hospital. You know, so I actually like don't think. Of course, Lendal then. Yeah, I have to find something else.

Do you exercise? I don't. I do, yeah. What do you do? I normally like weight lift more than anything. I do have to really do weights. When I am exercising, it's weights. I'm thinking of buying some weights for home, but I always feel like if I do that, they're going to sit there.

They're just to make you feel good. Like I already know it's a waste of money in the corner that I would look at every morning. Like, oh, I don't use them. There they are. You know, $90, down the drink. Because you know I'm going to buy the good ones too. You know I'm going to want like, oh, if I buy the nice ones, I'm going to use them. I won't.

That's real, honestly. I have a lot of, I have workout equipment at home. I don't, I don't really use, honestly. I feel like I need the responsibility of having to go. Otherwise, I won't do it. Because I do really think when people are like, the gym is my therapy. I think that's weird and a lie, to be honest. I hate it.

But I hate it. Like when I've done it, like Gabby and I became members and we haven't used it in a long time. But we did the thing. thing where we joined Equinox, like they're two for one or whatever it was. Yeah. And it was good for three, four months. I mean, Gabby came once with me. I was doing my weight regiments and a little bit of treadmill.

And she came for, they have Pilates classes. Oh, nice. But I just got there, okay? And I'm still like doing my big stretches. And she comes to me, she was going to do Pilates and I was going to do weights and we would meet on the treadmills. She comes to me two seconds in. She's like, they don't have the machine.

I was like, what machine? And she was like, for Pilates, they don't have the reformer. I'm leaving. I'm like, well, what's the Pilates class? And she goes, it's Pilates on the floor. I'm not doing Pilates on the floor. And I'm like, but you're already here. Like, just do.

And she goes, no, I'm going to get a smoothie and go home. And like that was her, like, if it's not exact, like she won't. So. Oh, damn. Did you go home early too? No, I did my thing. I'm like, babe, I'm here. It's just insane.

I mean, once I'm there, it's a big commitment to. get there but once I'm there and I take a long time they're like I don't know how people are like in and out of the gym like to me it's a three hour ordeal and make sure I have the right positioning right I give it a minute then I go again and I give it a minute like I don't know how people are in and out yeah I get showering then I'm doing their steam room or their son I like to dip in like I just it is a big commitment yeah that is true when I my fiancee is like a certified personal trainer too that's fantastic so like He does make my workouts for me, but we never work out together.

Because I've found that the one time I was like, well, why don't you just train me? And then he tried to tell me what to do. I was like, well, don't tell me what to do. No, no, no, no. That's not going to work for me. No, no, no, are you freezing? No. I run really hot.

I'm frozen. Well, you are a little porcelain doll, so I apologize about that. Would you like a jacket or a blanket or anything?

Yeah, and I don't want it somewhat like a dusty, you know. Do you have like any specific pet peeves? No. Like things that irritate you, really? Not specific. A lot of things bother me. Ask me something. I'll tell you if I like it or not.

Like anything specific. I can tell you something of mine that's pretty niche that I don't like. When people sneeze more than twice, really annoys the fuck out of me. Right. Like after the second one, I'm like, you're done. That's it. You know what? It brings me back my best friend, uh, Shanee.

She, since a kid, when she sneezes, it's eight and her. Like, and it would be in class and it would be so funny because I'm like, well, she's nothing you could do. She's going to be sneezing for another two minutes. She doesn't, when she sneezes, right. It's a lot in a row. No, that doesn't bother me. What's another thing?

Hmm. Trying to think slow walkers. Terrible. Yeah. Hate them. Are you a fast walker? I am. But you know what?

It depends. If I want to walk slow. I don't like somebody up. ass, I'll stop and let them pass. I don't like to hear steps like, okay, so just pass me. And then when I'm going fast and there's like foot traffic like in New York, in a in a density. Yeah. I'm like, come on guys, we're in New York. One foot in front of the other. Let's go. Right. So, you know. You just adapt based off where you're at. Yeah. Whatever I want is what I want to be happening. If I want to be walking slow, that's what I want. If I want to be walking fast, it's what I want to do.

Yeah. Yeah. It seems like that's how you run your whole life. Yeah. Yeah, pretty much. Here she is. Oh, perfect. Babe. Yiller? Yler? One quick question. What is my sign? The full sign.

I need it for the podcast. You're a Sagittarius Sun, a Sagittarius rising, and a Libra moon. See, I guess that because of the M&M. Okay, I love you. Thank you, baby. Okay, love you too.

Bye. You were right. Yeah. Yeah. I love Libras. Lebras are great. But I'm a sag. Yeah, you're a sag.

I'm saying Libra Moon. Is that what she said? Yeah. Yeah, Libra. So which if I'm Saj, Saj, Libra, what's the one that I'm like? How do they differentiate? The sun is like is like who you are at your core. I believe, again, this is my very loose interpretation of it. Moon is like what rules your emotions. And then rising is what you present and project to others. So what other people perceive about you. So you're rising in your sun match, which means you're pretty obvious Sagittarius, I would say. And Libras are very, I think, I forget the sign for Libra. I want to say it's a scale but they're like I can't remember but they're like very even keeled like in emotion and stuff I don't know that I'm even killed maybe emotionally yeah you seem like you are yeah emotion I mean I'm a big

person so even killed but yeah I just you know what I'm very good at an emergency you're reliable it's small things like I don't like to respond to an email or you know or like if somebody saw that I saw their message or things like that bother me. Right. But an emergency like Gabby says like when we evacuated for the fires, like I was like, okay, like she would like woke me up. She smelled. She like, should we go?

I go, yeah. She goes, I can't believe you just got up. You didn't. You started packing the car. Like, yeah. I think it's because I grew up so bad in an urgent emergency state all the time that I'm actually comfortable fine. We're moving again.

Let's go. It's the small things that. irritate you. Yeah, that are harder for me than the big. Like, I already assume that something disastrous that's going to happen. At all times. You know, so, like, calamity, I'm like, oh, yeah, this is inevitable. Like, the house burning down, of course.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner. You know, and it didn't burn down in the end. But it's like, I'm always surprised when it's not, it doesn't end in climate. You're staying ready at all times. Yeah, I'm kind of like, well, what are you going to do? We got to go to Vegas. And then we got married. Like, well, what are I going to do?

You know. Would you think you would survive in a, in like an apocalypse situation? No, no, no, no. I wear glasses. There's no survival. It's not in the cards for glasses wears. I'm an hour. I kiss gab.

Let's just hold each other and wait for the dogs to eat us. I just, I have no ability to camp or. Or even like desire to, really. I do want to go camping because I did it a couple times. Yeah, but I haven't gotten it together to go And I don't have enough of the skill set to do it You don't want to be forcibly camping No, when somebody, when I'm with somebody

Ideally, this is the camping. I want to be invited to a camping trip Somebody knows what to do How to do it has the right gear And I'm around the fire Telling jokes Just enjoying, no, maybe somebody's playing music Like that type of camping

Like just, you know, some broke back shit Yeah, where you just show up Yeah, I'm not. All of the brokeback shit or just like the camping? Well, you know, the broke back is, you know, yeah, I would take a lot of. We'll see where the wind takes us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't want to assume either way.

Yeah, yeah. I'm with you on the apocalypse stuff. I've said many times like, I'm not, I'm cool, not living through that. I'll just probably take myself out. I mean, we're pretty much in an apocalypse. At this point, yes, we are rapidly heading that way. We're currently in it and it's getting worse. I think it's the kind of thing that you don't, it is so normal.

Mm-hmm. Like, everything is. normalized. Like we're now living in times of like, well, what were, it's like when you hear about the Holocaust happening years ago. And I would ask my grandfather, like, what were you doing when all these people were dying and he was, you know, selling meat and trying to make a meat business. He was a butcher and, you know. Yeah. And his life is just, and now we're doing that. We see what's going on in the Middle East. And it's like, what really are we doing? Yeah, I know. Talk about it. But We're still recording a pod.

We're still like, it's such a, it's such a, you know, it's just. It feels very black mirror, honestly. Exactly. Like, everything is just kind of like, I don't think we can, we think that the apocalypse is coming, but I think we're in apocalyptic times. I agree with you. It feels like, have you watched the bear? I have a little bit.

Okay. Well, there's like this clock they have in there that's counting down to something in the most recent season. That's how it feels right now to me. That's what I'm saying. It feels like I'm watching. that clock and it's like well what am I going to do not work I guess I got to work because that's what I'm saying it's like you know or if you have a family and you have to go feed your kids it's like

well this this mom's got to go grocery like there's really we're at the mercy of like you know some serious empires yeah it feels biblical and it also feels apocalyptic and it also feels like powerless and it's just like I don't know and then yeah I it's just and then AI that's like it's It's like it is very strange. Yeah. So I think we're, we are through the apocalypse. And to our credit, we are surviving.

That is true. That is true. To our credit. Do you have a preferred ending? Like if the world was going to end up. Apocalyptic, ending I would choose. If I could have a choice,

I would choose Planet of the Apes. That's horrifying. You think? I would rather. Is there a war with the apes? I haven't seen Planet of the Eps. Well, they're going to win regardless. And I just feel like they'd probably do a better job.

humans have done a real shit job i think i would take mass CO2 poisoning or something okay you know like like the whole world was uh you know the whole world was stuck in a car that was in a garage turned on and everybody just went to sleep that's okay you know what that's actually pretty good one right it's you don't smell it you have a small fatigue you go i'm looking at your sister the whole time who's like she's getting into it she's like you have a small fatigue right that's it yeah no i don't want anything warlike i mean we're in that like i can't imagine that's true i think i'm just leaning towards the monkeys because i'm like someone do something are there enough monkeys for your thing in my in my head yes oh in your head yeah yeah like i'm thinking they unionize the ones

that are currently on earth and then just kind of form a coalition i think how it will happen now will be not only nuclear but biochemical more viruses that's uh bio warfare is here it's real. Yeah, I saw a meme once that said like, I hate when older people are like, well, back of my day, I, you know, I was in the Vietnam War and I'm like, okay, well, I'm going to be in the next one and they have laser beams now. So it's actually a lot works for me. Yeah. And it's just, it's just people are, it's, there's no guard rails on the plant. Like these powers like, like I was thinking like this. Like, when I realized there's no guard rails, like, you know, is like, you know, Elon Musk had like a 13th kid with someone, right? And she thought.

she was going to get a payout like oh because she has this kid like he'll have to pay for the kid but it's like who's enforcing him to pay child support no one like the government's his friend like he was with trump like so it's actually like she could remain broke yeah and and the kid's father is because he could just not pay he could be fine he'll never go to jail he'll never pay the fine he'll there's no enforcing powerful people anymore there's no anything they all fascism yeah like to me government feels like theatrics to distract like we're following that but really you know they have to keep those that that play going yeah because actually they're all you know it's the very rich against everyone else it's true yeah a class warfare more than anything yeah and it's been that and they've been

exponentially increasing their power while decreasing ours yeah and we're sitting here and that's it That's all, you know. So I think we're doing the best we can to get through it. I agree. Like, I think we are surviving. Like, people think it's going to be the bunker. You might never even get to the bunker. No, for real.

And I also think, too, that's another. And I said this once, like, a recession indicator to me is, like, how beautiful the art is that's been coming out lately. Yes. They, like, that's, like, when art thrives is when the world is tanking. Wait, I was literally having this conversation that I think we're about to enter, like, a Renaissance type of period. Yeah, I agree. Especially with the threat of AI,

of people really just making what they want to make. Yeah, because it's kind of like our last burst of we were here. We're here. Absolutely. This is the human experience. It reminds me of my stepmom passed due to cancer. May she rest in peace. But one of her last days alive, she had a burst of energy, which is common.

And she suddenly wanted to go walk outside and do all the stuff. And then she died shortly. It was kind of this last hurrah of energy. And we might be in that. Yeah. Well, I mean, at least it's beautiful. Are you guys going to have kids you think you and your fiancé? Nope.

No, that's the only. It's been out. Like, it's been off off my table for a long time. But yeah. Yeah. We decided that pretty really. Yeah. It's just not something we've ever personally been interested in, like just for ourselves.

and then as a couple, but then now even more so no. Because I was talking about teachers recently, and I was saying how selfless it is to be a teacher especially now. It always has been, but especially now, because of like, you know, the cuts to funding and obviously AI, chat EBT, kids are iPad babies now, like all of those things being factored. I think teachers are just on the front line right now.

Like, that's crazy. And I feel for that. Yeah, I don't even think we need teachers. Like we're making I don't know Like teachers are doing Childcare Yeah mostly

And I heard that teachers have like 30 to 35 kids now per class Which is insane That feels like a lot Oh okay I have no clue by the way Shout out to teachers Well when I was in school It was maybe like 25 max Right now it's like 35

Which is insane That's so many people to keep an eye on It's a lot You know what It's a lot My mother had 10 kids kids. So my class was like twice the size of my family. So this is like, yeah. So your concept of a lot of children is like, oh, 35's a lot.

It's a lot. Just a third of my family. But, you know, it would be a lot. Where are you in the 10? I'm seventh. Oh, okay. Towards the end then, one of the babies. Yeah. How was it growing up with nine siblings? Horrible. Horrible. Um, it was horrible because we were poor. I think if we were like, sometimes we saw a. shows that had like a big house or they were like uh you know and and those stories turned out way well now it's much better but um you know there was like 17 kids and counting that was like john and k plus eight but they all had like houses that had like rooms and stuff we just lived so tight and cramps and you know and didn't have that you know i think the poverty was the

worst thing but I think the family ended up being good but it was it was tough because we were all teenagers that we know we're 10 and 12 years so at one point in my house it's like you know 10 11 12 13 14 15 you know my brothers are like teenagers wrestling you know just horrible fights and just but that said a bunch of us are very close now and we got through it together but it was yeah it felt horrible when I was kid, but it also, I have a lot of great memories. So it's, it's like anything. There's, there's great and there's, you know, not so great. Where are you from? I'm born in New York and I grew up in Montreal. Oh, okay. I started stand-up in Toronto. So I'm half Canadian, half American. Well,

I'm a dual. I'm 100% both. Yeah. Oh, that's cool. That's cool. Every time someone says they're from Canada, I always reference my agent Alex, who's from Canada. Where are you from? She's from Vancouver. Oh, my sister lives in Vancouver. Yeah. Vancouver is beautiful. Every time I'm always like, I know she's from Canada. Yeah, it's a very different part of Canada. There's no black people or Jews in Vancouver. Very creepy place, very quiet type of.

That's the only city I've been to in Canada is Vancouver. Don't you notice it's like very... It's very clean. It's very clean. Yeah, I noticed that. There's no like loud laughing. No, that's true. Like in the movie, there's no chatting.

Like I'm so used to like Gavin and I are both chatters in the movie. We sit in the back. But like there's, no chatting like for real. That's see. Yeah, there's just no, it's just, yeah, it's a very, I don't know. It's like different energy. Yeah, it's a different energy. It's not as much. I think because Toronto is the most diverse city, I believe, in the world, if not North America. Will you look up Toronto? Toronto is the most diverse city. And then I grew up super, yeah, like in, you know,

ethnic neighborhoods where we were all beyond. loud, you know, in a fun way. Yeah, I agree. But you know what I mean? That is, too, though. It is kind of quiet there. I also notice everyone walks at like 30 miles per hour. I don't know why everyone walks so goddamn fast in Canada.

No, it's because it's a yoga. It's like Lulu Lemons invented there. I'm not making this up. Isn't Lulu Lemon invented there? Yeah. So they really, you know. They love fast walking, apparently. And also every restaurant, the music was way too loud.

It's out of control. light was way too low. I felt like I was squinting and yelling in every restaurant I was in. It's terrible. They got to get it together. It was. But the Chinese food there is amazing. It was.

Yeah, it is amazing. Yeah. What did you hear about Toronto? What did you see there? What did you find? Toronto is widely recognized as one of the most multicultural endeavors. Pepsi prebiotic cola in original and cherry vanilla. That Pepsi taste you love with just 30 calories and no artificial sweeteners.

Pepsi prebiotic cola unbelievably Pepsi Well there you go Yeah no it really is So I don't know So then when I go to Canada And Montreal and Toronto Five hours apart

So it's like I always was on the East Coast Whether I was in the U.S. Or I was in Canada Like it all has that like dense East Coast vibe And then when you go to Vancouver It's closer to like a Portland or Seattle Which is just a not even Seattle More like a Portland

Mm-hmm. That's a good point. But it's stunning and beautiful and you can't beat the air and it beats the dump we live in here. So. That's true. This episode is brought to you by Amazon Prime. So I'm deep in the scroll like three hours in and suddenly I'm obsessed with DIY candles. Next thing I know, I've got a silicone mold in my car, essential oils on the way and all of it delivered to my door before I know it. Whatever it is, Prime helps you get more out of whatever passion,

you're into or getting into. Head to Amazon.com slash prime and follow your obsession wherever it goes. I went to Denver last week for work and I've been to Denver before but I'd never like walked around a lot and I couldn't believe how quiet it was like Denver has a weird energy like. I can't breathe in Denver. Oh me either.

I was because again I'm like you. I'm a big chatter so I love to talk. Yeah. And I was just talking my, I was talking to anyone's ear off who would listen to me. Yes. And at one point I really felt like I was huffing and puffing because I was talking and walking at the air because it's at the altitude yeah no it's unlivable

Denver everybody's in Denver you you got to move a gab's from from Denver basically I mean she's a military brat so she's from a lot of places but Denver is mostly where you know she was a Denver bronco cheerleader for five years but we go there now to visit family and I'm like I'm on that can I'm I mean it's it's it's unbreatable it is it's really bad and the I know that the airport is like haunted or something and there's like a devil there's like a devil looking horse that's like it's like a big sculpture that's on the way to the airport that you can see it's I think it's a bronco yeah I'm assuming I would assume but the eyes are red and that creeps me out I know the energy is and I would be energy I honestly wouldn't be surprised though if the land is cursed from like native

people from colonization oh people did leave a curse yeah I would yes yes because and it's also like I know there's meth heads everywhere but there's the worst there. Are they? Yeah. I didn't really see any meth heads, I don't think. Oh, you know what? The only time I went to Denver and I was I was at a comedy festival there, which typically

the lodging at festivals is the worst lodging you could have. So I was lodged at a place where there was no lobby. You have to go to the window. Mm-hmm. And I. Like behind bulletproof glass. Literally. So I'm like up there.

It's like one in the morning after my show. A little old me. They're like, yeah, you'll be fine. And I'm like, you really got to let me in. You know, so I just have staying with Gab and her family is obviously 10 times better. Oh, that's nice. Where's your favorite place to. And by the way, I'll be in Denver. That said, Yucity's a dump. I'm still coming. Okay, I'm there in November and I'm in Fort Collins. I don't know if those are on sale yet, but they should be by the time this comes out.

Yeah, I do hate it there, but I will be there. I will be there. I don't. And to be fair, I don't like it most places. That's true. I don't even, I live in Los Angeles. People ask me, what do you live, prefer more New York or L.A. They're both dumps. There's nothing you have to pick like you know there's good and bad like it's not. There's no way to live like the world we're apocalyptic so just like where you're living just try and do the best you can what's your favorite place to do stand up in do you have a favorite place no I like it all yeah no do you have like a place you don't really care to go anymore I don't like going so far from an airport or where I have to take a connection. I need you to have an international airport.

Okay, because I'm already taking a risk with one flight. Now I need two. Now I need to risk two landings to get to you. Right. I'd rather limit my flights. Yeah, all of my places have to do with the tech, with the with the with the logistics. Right.

The logistics. I mostly have logistical issues. That makes sense. Yeah. You seem like you travel a lot for your pod. Just in general for work. Yeah, I travel. What do you do for work?

mostly just telling men to suck my wiener on TikTok that's kind of my... Wait, you have a weaner? No. Well, I mean, I guess it depends on who you ask. Wait, what do you mean? What? My thing is mostly TikTok.

Like, TikTok's where I blew up. You do, yeah. Yeah, but that's where my schick has been literally making fun of men. Awful men specifically. I love that. Yeah, I've just been literally telling them to suck my dick. Okay, so you tell them to suck your dick kind of like G. Like, suck my dick.

Yeah. Because that was a great scene. yes exactly okay and then it's turned into influencing mostly and then i started doing this like i love yeah so you travel a lot yeah i fly don't you agree that that logistics is the biggest thing yeah it's huge i'm i'm an expert flyer now same but i will say like you the minute it's inconvenience just a little i feel like my hair's on fucking fire because traveling is already so terrible so when you're traveling gets fucked up it's awful it's awful yeah i did a college talk at penn state earlier that this year. Yeah. And,

thank you. And to get there, trains, planes, and automobiles, it really took me forever to get there. I'm doing a gig like that this summer and it's like, I have to rent a car. And I'm like, just, I've been dreading this car rental more than like

having to go to the dog. I'm like, I got to go to Avis. Okay. I got to have an ID. I got to figure out, there's a credit card. Does this with the insurance? Like, renting a car is just not a thing anymore. Yeah, it really isn't. And when I went to that place, it's Belafonte, Pennsylvania, I believe. And I had to take like, initially it was supposed to be two flights,

but I missed one of them. So then it was one flight, getting a car drive for four hours and then get there. To leave, I had to go to like this tiny ass airboat. It's scary. But to even get there was like a complete journey. It felt like a treasure hunt because Uber, don't come that far out. They don't go to the airport. This is what I'm saying. It was a nightmare. Good money? Yeah, really good money. That's why I made it there. That's why we do it. Okay, that's why we do it. Okay, I'll see you in Denver.

I know. And flying is so, like, do you like, you don't like flying? Terrible. It's terrible. Have you ever been on like a tour bus or anything? No. When you're doing comedy? No. Does that sound worse to you than flying? It sounds scary. Yeah, it was honestly, I did tour last year. I toured last year and had a tour bus. and only flew like, I think, a couple of times, I was shocked at how much I love the bus. I actually think I could love the bus. That's what I'm saying.

If it's yours, here's the thing. When I was starting in Canada and I would take the Greyhound between Montreal and Toronto or Ottawa or all the little cities that I would do, I found the Greyhound amazing because it's like so easy.

You get there 10 minutes before. Yeah. You get on. You just hope you don't die that there's nobody crazy. But as soon as you're on and you're like, okay, everybody's settled in. Yeah.

You know, and I love the train, the via rail. The train here is so inaccessible. I wish there was, the Amtrak was, it's so rare that I get to take the train, but I love the train. And here the train is so slow that it's like never worth it to go. In Canada, the via rail works really great, though. And I found that in England, their train is very expensive but works very good. Oh, okay. I've only been to England once and I don't think I took.

Oh, no, I did take the two, but I think once. Not the tube. The tube is the subway. I'm talking about like the like I went from like London to Manchester. Oh, okay. Yeah. When you have to go to another city, if you have like dates in another city, it's like a four hour train ride. And it's just it's a great. You're like on a virgin train and it's a real train. It's called Virgin the company. I don't mean like, you know, it's not. It has no. Not that. Not that kind of version. Yeah. Yeah. No, the bus seems good. But the only bus I've heard about really. was Gabby was on a bus for dancing with the Stars tour. And there was like 97 dudes on the bus. That's awful. So who did you have on your bus? It was just my family and my team.

That's amazing. So mom was there. Yep, sister. Carrie was there, my assistant who's also here. Oh, there she is. Also another gay. And Alex, my agent, she was there. And then my dad, my fiancee.

How many beds were there? I think there was 12. Yeah, 12. And you could sleep like this, the bus ever. It felt like that kind of. Like they everyone, me and my fiancee were in the back on one bed and then everyone had their own bunk. Everybody else had their own like bunk to sleep in. But so it was kind of hard, I think, in the beginning to adjust.

But after a while, it felt soothing. Like the rocking. Sometimes though, it did feel disorienting, like laying down in there and then waking up and you're in a completely different place. It was a little. It felt like I kept passing out and waking up. And the bus driver, you trust. Oh, yeah. His name was Dan.

We tried everything we could to. like bond with him he didn't give a fuck about us which i kind of liked he's just like i'm here to keep you alive and that's it like he love that yeah you don't want him you're getting into the party like he's he needs his red bull his coffee like i just you know i want him there's coyotes that could sore you know he's driving through the night and let's be a lord let's get those headlights on yeah we would always be like hey dan and he'd be like hey and then he would always close that little curtain like the one that covers him and we're like dan's not fucking with us like that. That's okay. Perfect. He's a professional. Yeah, he's, he's, he's all business.

Because he's probably had to drive. You know, you're driving fucking, I don't know who. So just get in, shut up. You know. He was like that. He's got to be like dad. Yeah, he's driven some really famous people. He was kind of telling us. And then he was like, yeah, well, that's all right. All right. And he just closed the little curtain. Perfect. And we'd be like, Dan, what do you think? And he'd be, he just wouldn't respond. No, good. Shout out to Dan. And by the way, you're here today. Yeah. So he did his job. Because of Dan. Thank God. people just doing your job that's the best thing you can do that's that's actually a really good point i appreciate that like i appreciate someone who treats me like nothing other than just like this just another

day yeah because for him that this is his job yeah he doesn't get a great driver and he was did you like london do you like it over there in the uk i do yeah it's cool yeah when i went last time i started some real beef with them and over their food like over their food's terrible the british cuisine The food? It's awful. It's terrible. The only good food is Indian food there. I agree.

And Italian food's pretty good. Oh, really? Oh, you know, but the Indian is phenomenal there. Obviously, everything else. Rubbish. Just rubbish. I agree. I really angered some of them, too, by just saying I just wasn't really my, I wasn't

fucking with it. It wasn't my vibe. It's all so bland. And I really did want, like, in English, a proper English, like I really did want to try it because I it seemed like it just a bunch of things and I'm cool with like a bunch of things on a plate. The beans and the it just tasted like ass all of it tasted bad. It's like bad food and they all everything tastes the same which is bad. Exactly. And it's all the same colorish. It's like it's amazing because they have such good Indian food which is Indian food is amazing

because I forget who said it but it was like you can you can understand why they went to war for spices. Right. For real. You know what it was. It's like, these people could make a lentil the most amazing dish you ever had. It's true. So they're so close. They can have an influence into seasoning and stuff like that, you know. And then next door they have France, which is incredible patisserie and baking and cheese and wine. Like, it's just the pub.

Like it's just, you don't even, it's like it ain't it. It really is. But they have such. And Italy is. It's like you're in Europe, bro. You're so close. Like there's so much good cuisine. Right.

You're not isolated. Like if I went to Australia and the food was bad, I would understand. Yeah. They're not near any. They did what they could with a kelp or whatever the fuck is there. You know, be like, like, like if you're in Australia and you're like a shot, you're like, okay, we'll use this. We'll make this.

But it's like in London, you're right there. It's also the birthplace of colonial. So like they did pill for a lot of fucking places. Not one spice made it back. That's crazy. Or it's like separate. And the Indians don't want anything to do with them. It's like, don't taint our shit.

You know? Like, yeah. So it's like, it's so weird. So many great cuisine countries around. Spain is there. Like, even Deutschland like you were saying earlier. I don't think the food is any better than Deutschland. I really don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. No, no. I don't think. the food in Germany. I believe you.

Sausage. Okay. Yeah. But even then. Yeah. You know what? I like a Moroccan sausage. I like a Mergett.

Like I like Middle Eastern food, Lebanese food. Like if we're reaching, fuck. And I know they're far from that, but it's like, please. Please try something.

There's not really good Lebanese food here and there's not good Ethiopian food here. There's little Ethiopia and you have to go all the way there. It's not like what I like about Toronto, what I was, you know, part of their diversity is like, you could be anywhere and sometimes there's an Ethiopian restaurant and there's a Lebanese restaurant. It's like it's not just in little Ethiopia. It's not just, you know, everybody is more like together and cultured. Here it's like we have

to trek when we want Ethiopian. That's true. That is true. Even like it when I was in London to, where did I go also Paris when I went to Paris? They had really great food too. But I did have five guys a couple times when I was in Paris. Yeah, yeah, no, because you have, you crave normal cheese. Yeah. How much shirkruiter could you have? But if you're going to go and have chucurgery, yeah, you grab a baguette there. The baguette is amazing. It's not the hard, but when you're making that food and you're making it great, it's good. It's like England, what do they make? Potatoes? Like, what are they, and it's not even a full baked, like, it's not a baked dress. Have you ever seen those jacket potato, jacky potatoes that they do?

What is it? They like, it's like they have places where they cut them open, like, baked potato, but they put a bunch of shit on it. They put like mayonnaise. I've seen like cheese. I've seen like... Introducing the new best skin ever, ultra slim precision concealer from Sephora Collection.

It's kind of like the Prius. Like to me the Prius is like they went out of their way to make it boring inside. Like there's no reason for it to be that gray, whatever. The first car I ever bought was a Toyota Prius. Of course, because it's a great car. This is the thing. As a car, you can't beat Toyota. You can't.

As a car, they are fine. Why go out of it? You could pick any color to make the seat. Like, this is not, it doesn't affect the function of the car to make it at least not. Like, you get in the car and you're bored. Right. Like. And the thing is.

I'm talking about cyber trucks too, like out of your way to be bad. Also, the screen on the preys is always, it's like, We get it. It's, I don't need it being a video that's like constantly showing me the gas is going to the battery. That is true. We don't do that. We don't even, that, that eye clutter is like, yeah, the Prius has gone out of its way to make itself bad inside. Like London is phenomenal. And there's so many things close by. Like the mayonnaise to sour cream. It's an easy fix. And it improves your big potato by like a million percent. Now I would order if you said sour cream and chives.

Okay. Here's a snack. Yeah. Now we're talking. Like, it's just the mayonnaise on the potato. It's like I feel like they saw a picture of a baked potato. And they didn't know it was sour cream. They thought it was mayonnaise.

And they've just passed down that generational trauma. That sounds awful. I know. It does sound awful. Every time we look at it and I'm like, oh, God. And you guys want me to believe in you. Like, when I really talk shit, like it's gotten to the point now where, anytime like someone sees tic talks of British people making food that just looks downright awful

they'll tag me and be like how do you feel about this because I got so passionate about how angry it made me it's offensive it is I agree I was I just feel like they eat like they eat like you still shit in the corner at parties like I know it's kind of like Jews have like people like like Jewish food I think is terrible and I get in trouble for that but it's like there's certain things I like we nailed the bagels There's no question. We nailed bagels and smoke meat. Yeah.

Okay. Beyond that, okay, the Gifilta fish is like, Gifilta fish is scraps of fish. It's from when Jews were doing terribly. Holocaust times when we couldn't shop, that they would take scraps of fish from fish stores that were thrown out and they would mash it all together, kind of like the ends of the soaps that they mash together.

Like when you're poor and you have to take like the slivers of soap to make one big soap again. We do that with fish. But now it's like, Jews have done pretty well. Like, there's no reason to still be eating that, you know, they've done, you know, unless you're my family, which to be born, Jewish and poor felt doubly offensive because I'm like, who is that even happening to do anymore? Like, Ma, you was so close. Like, it's just to me, it's so insane. Like, you know, but my mother went out of her way. Like, you know, it's just, How did this happen to us? You know, but...

Have you ever had Samoan food? I was just going to ask. So what is Samoan food? I mean... Because I'll tell you if I've had it. I might not know what it is and maybe I have had it without knowing. I'm trying to think. Well, like the cuisine, I would say mostly...

I'm thinking pineapple. I'm thinking seafood. But maybe I'm totally wrong. Yeah, lots of seafood. I would say pineapples more in Hawaiian food. Okay. We do use a lot of coconut. Like coconut milk specifically we use in a lot of things.

but there's like things called palusami Fa'i there's like sapsui sui's like glass noodles with like meat and stuff delicious okay where is there a Samoan I'm gonna write this as there is a Samoan restaurant here there's not in L oh well actually there is that one

see it's like LA has no excuse we're diverse so many there's not even I agree there is one there is one place I can think of I think it's in I want to say it's in Carson yeah where I need to look up the name of it I think it's it's called like Island something but it is all Samoin food and it's kind of like a plate lunch place kind of like Panda Express like when you go and they like fill up a plate.

I know that's what I want. But it's all Sama one food. I'll look up the name of it. Okay. I would love that because they have good food. Yeah. Yeah. There's a couple.

What's the people that make that great saviche? Peruvian food. Okay. I like Peruvian. I think it's Peruvian, but maybe it's not. Yeah. But you know what I'm thinking. Are you thinking of a place specifically?

Covece. Well, Covecci is such a big dish now, so it's hard. Yeah, I was thinking of a place. Oh, you're thinking of a certain, a specific restaurant? Yeah. Is it like a franchise restaurant or is it like a standalone? No, it's like a standalone. It'll come to you.

If it's called like Rizcaz or something. I love Civece. Yeah, I know. And I think it was Peruvian Civece. I think it was like really chunky sea. Yum. Yeah. You like seafood?

I love seafood. I do love seafood. Me too. Yeah. I think like... And I like a lot of different kinds of food. I know. That's becoming very clear to me.

I love that, though. Well, I grew up kosher, which was horrible. And all I wanted growing up was a nugget. You know, if I could get a chicken nugget, like the non-cochure kids had chicken nuggets. All the kids in the neighborhood, after school, they would get it a happy meal in a little box. And I'm like, I want to be happy. Like, I can't be happy. Well, my mother, I'm complaining.

My mother cooked every day. I'm complaining. Look at me. This woman made. And she would make like these vats of stew and whatever. Everything was kosher. And, um, but I didn't get a lot of different. I had a very meat and potatoes kind of, you know, we had a very no frills childhood.

My mother was going to feed us, shelter us, and educate us. That was like really it. Yeah. But I would get home and see this huge vat of stew. And I knew that was like dinner for like six nights. Like until that crock pot is fucking. empty this is my whole life and by day four of it's like the the the carrot is like I'm like so I'm like so so I don't know it's surprising that I do like lots of foods but when I became not kosher I don't know I just

like people like oh let's say I never said no I'm like yeah I would eat that like there's almost nothing I don't eat even if I don't like something yeah you'll still try it yeah I eat it you'll always try are you more a sweet savory kind of person I kind of like it all I just I like diversity and food. I like having a lot. That's why I'm like, is there some more than food? Because I don't know if I've had it. Yeah, there is.

And there's, uh, it, I would say it's mostly like the genesis of it is real like rice and meat. Like that's mostly it. Yeah. But there's like very specific ways we marinate meat and stuff like that. Yeah, no, no, no, because rice and meat can go a lot of different ways. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. But the glass noodles was reminding me of Filipino food.

Yeah. Actually, there is a Filipino dish that is very similar to that. I had such great Filipino food. at this comedy show that I did, this Filipino comedian, CJ runs the show. And I don't know what the restaurant's called, but every time he asked me to do the show,

I say yes, because we get a plate of food. You being motivated by really good cuisine? Yeah, because I never remember the place. I never look at, but I know, like, okay, if I ever do the show at this restaurant, I get to eat the restaurant. And you still, to this day, don't remember it?

No, but as soon as I pull up, I'm like, oh. that's why I love that show yeah I do have some fun facts about you oh hit me if you would like to hear them oh god we shall see if you find them very fun right literally uh it says in 2020 you dress as cult leader keith rainier for Halloween and it says guy from the nexium cult that they made a hulu documentary oh yeah yeah i did a great and there's a picture of you how good is that costume yeah it's honestly is it not uncanny it is that not uncanny you i bet i hope i hope you i bet i hope you i bet i hope you i hope I hope you guys put a picture up for everybody to see.

Because that was in lockdown. Right. Right. October 2020. And I had flown to Toronto. And because we had a brief period. It was open. And then as soon as I landed in Toronto, it was closed. And we weren't, I was my friend, Natalie, shout out to Natalie.

She put me in one of her parents had a unit that like was the scariest unit. but we had to be isolated for two weeks and she would like drop off food for me like it was such lockdown you can't imagine and I was like losing my mind and it was Halloween when we got out like you couldn't go out in the streets but you could bubble again

so I bubbled with Natalie and we were doing Halloween just in her apartment and I had that and somebody told me I'd look like this pedophile no this is the people I get told I look like like Gabby gets to be told she looks like Sophia Vigara or Jennifer Cool. It's like, I am literally told that I look like this pedophile.

This very specific pedophile. So help me, God. I put a little mascara on my face. I'm like, it's uncanny. They kind of got me. They kind of got me. Like, you know, I'm like, why do we have the same hair? Right, yeah, the picture, the more I look at the picture, the more alike it does look, I will say.

I just recently watched the cruise ship one about Amy Bradley. Same. Where? Okay. What do you think with Amy Bradley? Okay. I honest to God, I really do think that she's dead. I think that she was trafficked. No chance. I think she was trafficked and then killed. I really don't know.

I really don't think she's alive because if she was trafficked, they don't live very long, obviously, when they're being trafficked. Yeah, like women. So I'm just, I'm thinking that's what it is. However, what do you mean? Because you think she died of an SDD or something? No, like being killed because men are awful. You know what I mean?

Like, I'm just not putting my faith in men. Yeah, but they don't kill their cash cows. That's true. But if she ages out, then what do they do? They don't age out. These perverts, they like every age. I mean, like, pimps. Like, when they're like, you.

You know they want women of a certain age. Sometimes, but a lot want. Well, now you're convincing me. I'm just telling you, here's what happened. And I have no. Yeah, I'd love to know what you think happened. And I have no sources. Right.

She was traffic. She had kids because, of course, they're not using protection. Yeah. And they threaten her constantly, like they do for hundreds of people. We hear about her because she's white and she's from America. Right. So it gives us a glimpse into what's going on. But they have hundreds of local girls like this.

you know hundreds of girls all over you know yeah we've been trafficking girls even when we do it in america when you hear about epstein a lot of the poor white girls in florida in those areas you know what i mean um obviously they're poor white girls and their families don't care about them so we're not looking for them but an amy radley had like kind of a well-to-do family they're obviously doing and they kept bugging people about it yeah so it gives us a glimpse but i think that she was trafficked has kids and has no can't you know doesn't want to reach out and i'm sure she's traumatized too like, you know, she's traumatized, but also it's like, if she reaches out, they could be killed. Yeah. That is true. And, you know, and it's all viable theory. And she's been living this life for 30 years now that had as she returned. Right. And, um, I think it's just too much and too embarrassing and to, she, and she's a different person. That's true. That's a, that's a very viable theory, I think. But it's also possible she died. And the brother is. I know. So dumb. I

can't with him. I really was blown away by the just the like yeah I don't know just she's gone like with the cruise people like I found it so shocking. Oh yeah that cruise dude is involved yeah what are we yeah what a prick I literally was like hey fuck that guy that guy sucks but the way that they were just like well I mean we're not going to ruin the cruise for other people huh you're talking about someone going missing and it's like a full grown adult person it's not like you know what I'm saying I just found that so that they were like well the cruise is discus disgusting. That man who was in the guitar, he definitely, all the sightings were real. You don't have just three normal sightings. That's what I'm saying. You know, like she was obviously alive.

I don't think she, she went over at all. I don't think so either. But I do think the brother, him, him not walking back with her to the hotel. I don't even care if she came in. But I am sorry. I am my brother's keeper. Even my brothers, they played football after school just in the park with friends. And I would be sitting there watching all the school bags until we could go home. But I didn't walk home myself. You're watching all the bags. My brother's like, you have to watch.

Yeah. We'll be done in an hour. I'm sitting there. I'm like, it's getting cold. Like, you're going to go home. You're on bag duty. Yeah. But like I feel the same way, though.

Like I'm a very like when we leave together, we come home together. That's it. Especially if she's dancing with one of the crew members. I know. I think the same thing. Even when I went when I would go out in college and stuff, I was very much so the sheepdog of my friend group like I was running around everyone to corral them and make sure we all stay in the same general area to keep everybody safe. Especially young women. The whole family drinking to the extent that they drank and also them being homophobic. I thought the same when they when they when I found out they were homophobic I thought to myself I'm rooting for you a little less. Yeah. It's a bummer. Don't make me root against you. I was been I've been on your side. But that's that. I'm not. I'm not. I'm a bummer. Don't make me root against you. I was been I've been on your side. But that. But that. But that. But that. part also the fact that they were so shocked and like you see all the old videos and she had this a dyke sorry no but I'm like what do you need a flag she had an undercut no people are shocked like Katie Langiskaya hello she had a lineup like on the back of her neck

I was like well in the 90s that's a pretty bold statement I would say no obviously and it is you know but yeah I don't think she would have killed herself over that. I just don't think she killed herself. Yeah. Especially if she was going to go off and live her own life. And she had girlfriends. Yeah. Like, doing good. Oh yeah. Absolutely. But I love that you love documentaries. So do I. I went through a real phase with cult ones too. Yeah. Watch all of them. Yeah. Did you watch, I think it was called La Luce Del Mundo? No, I actually haven't seen them. That one's on HBO. That one's crazy. It's like the Keep Sweet Pray and Obey one. Yes. It's like that on like steroids. It's like way, way, way worse. Is it the one that River Phoenix was?

in and Joaquin? No, I don't think so. I don't think they made a documentary, but that cult that they were born into sounded really whacked out. Interesting. I didn't, I didn't even know that. I didn't even know they were in a cult. Yeah, I think they were in the type of cult where they share a bed with their mother in really gross ways. That's crazy. That's what I heard. And I don't want to, maybe I'm wrong about that. Okay. River, wrist and peace, but Joaquin, I don't know. I'm just saying, I don't know. I don't know. I don't want to speak on your behalf. Let's go back to some fun facts. go ahead. So I'm easily derailed and I can talk to you.

No, it's okay. You're chatting and I love another chatty bit because I'm like, I love a chat. Yeah, I love a chat. This is you got your first script deal by pretending to be a courier sent to deliver a script to the president of HBO Canada's office. It wasn't a script deal. It was an option deal, which is their option to sell it for a deal. I got like a thousand dollars for it.

But basically I would just print my script that work for free. And they had all good supplies at work because I was, I was an accountant. Well, they gave you the free laptop. They have to have the printers. Full supply room. I'm talking highlighters, pads, different types, envelopes, stapler, stapler, you know, just like all the good stuff.

So I printed it and I just looked up like who makes TV. Because again, I knew nothing about standard. This is like before I'd seen much. I haven't even gone down like the dive. I was like, oh, people who had shows were standing. And they wrote, so I should have a show. Like, this is all my math. I honestly envy it.

I think you got a great mindset. Thank you. I was like, I could just do it. Yeah, and I had stories. So I wrote it. I printed it. I put it in envelopes and I just like went to these offices. I had no, you know, I just said, oh, the president asked, you know, to read it.

And they would be like, there's no president. I'm like, I'm just a courier. I don't know. So you're going to. And so they would get, I guess, get it to the office in some way. and I guess, you know, whoever was tasked with reading, you know, one of my, my thing got some recognition to the point of getting an option. You're literally a genius.

Yeah, which didn't go anywhere. But what it did get me was represent, like actually into the business a little bit. Absolutely. Especially if you're just pretending to be your own delivery person. Yeah. I'm just like, well, I don't know. Whoever runs, you know, I had, I didn't look into the company. I literally just looked up like, I Googled the address.

Like, I didn't know, you know, anything. more than the building that it was in. Like I would, I'm talking to the security desk. I think you're my hero, dude. Yeah. I really do. Thank you.

Thank you. I just really, I genuinely admire that you're just like, what am I? Like it's fucking hard. Just fucking walk in there and do it. No, I thought it was impa. I didn't think it was,

but I was like, how else do you mail these places? Like, there's no way to like mail it. Like I was just thinking logistically. Right. So it's in the envelope. I'll just bring it there. No, that you're literally, that's why I said you're a genius.

Like, I never thought about something like that. Yeah. And then, yeah, and now, you know, a million terrible people with, you don't have it. Save yourself some time. Very true. That's actually very good advice. Please take that. Yeah.

Honestly, save your life. Save yourself some time. I think that whenever people have critiques about comics, like longstanding comics, in the sense of saying like they're not funny. I'm always like, well. I mean, I think I'm kind of funny. No, exactly. There's a little bit of validity to it.

No, exactly. But in this case, it's like, you guys didn't think of it. If you're thinking of it because you heard it for me, you didn't think of it. So you already don't have it. That's true. You know what I mean? It's already you're starting on original. Yeah.

So then just. Out the gate. So don't worry about it. Yeah. Just stop there. Yeah. I talked to one of my other friends who's a standup and he was saying like, I just like, this was the only job that was going to work for me.

Right. And I was like, right, like, I, it was either this or like, I don't even know, probably I'm the leader of a cult, to be honest. Yeah, I would join that cult. We're always in the mood. I'm in the mood for a cult for like a year or two. Yeah, I think just like a summer fling with a cult. Yeah, like I'd like to go to an island is something. Do you know what I mean?

And he's just living, it's like camp. Yeah, summer camp. Yeah, you know, and you have like a very particular job. I'm in charge of this corn or whatever. I make, you know. And that's. all you have to do. It's a kind of a simplicity. Like you have such a strict rules. I'm name tags.

Yeah. That's really it. That's all we need. And then you're chilling and like the sex cults don't like the wild wild country. I'm like actually sound like a good time. Like till it got bad. The first two years of a cult always sounds a little bit good and then it goes out. But the first two years, if you can get out, if you could set your alarm two years, okay, get out. You might actually have a good time for a year or two. I said once on Caleb's show that I don't think I could ever be.

inducted into a cult only because I refuse to suspend this belief in any way, shape, or form. Right. So like when, the minute someone tells me what to do, and I don't want to do it, I'm like, I'm leaving. No, exactly. You have to be the leader. Like, you can't be hypnotized. Exactly.

Like, because I'm like, what if I don't want to? What if it doesn't work? It's not going to work. I'm thinking. I'm thinking my eyes are closed. Okay. I'm still thinking. You know, like, I'm just like I can't get.

Yeah, because I've been church camp a couple times. Yeah. And in church camp, I really did. feel I felt performative in some regards because I was like I just feel like I'm copying what everybody else is doing oh 100% I went to a Jewish camp which was very fun except but the summer kind and um for any elderly Jews listening to the program and we had to fast um on to be shvaat tishabab

and or to be shavat I can't remember which one it was now Tishabov I think and you had to fast but the only reason I fasted you didn't have to fast but if you were fasting you got to watch movies

in the rec room all day so there I am giving a poo to watch movies and you got to go to the break fast which was like a huge meal oh nice You know, so I was like, but it took everything out of me. But it was like, it was just worth it.

You know, because to get out of a day of activities. Right. You're just sitting in a sleep bag watching movies. I'm like, well, let's go. Yeah, that does sound a lot better. I feel like even when I said it on Caleb's, like, obviously I was joking around, but I was being kind of serious. But I said, I just feel like I'm too smart.

Like, of course. If some like small white guy like tells me he's the Messiah, like I don't believe you. No, exactly. I don't believe you. No. No, exactly. None of them, like, it's the thing is, and I went through a theological quest most recently. I mean, I read, my mother is, you know, has taken Jesus into her heart. She considers herself a juice for Jesus now. So I wanted to read the New Testament because I had only read the Old Testament. And then I wanted to read the Quran because these are the three most influential books, basically on the planet.

Yeah, yeah. And all of them I'm reading. And it's exactly as you say, it's like, first of all of them say, this is the truth, this is the truth, and this is proof. None of it is, like, I feel like we don't even know what proof is. I'm like, no, it's not proof, right, okay, just because it's been recalled person to person for hundreds of you, that's not proof to me. Right. There isn't any definite proof. Proof.

And the narratives are so specific that I'm like, okay, I can understand there's something greater, we don't know about, okay, we're part of something larger. But to tell me, this guy's brother was his nephews of God of this. and then the, bro, this is too, man, it's too detailed a story. It's so we need to like end on a general. Yeah. Okay.

Because you asked me to believe like the particularities of he lived, you know, and this, it's like, okay. Like, and maybe, you know, I, yeah, so it's tough. But I have a general belief. Me too. Of something and not much more. That said, I still like, you know, I liked reading everything. to know where all these ideas, but there's no women involved.

There's no... Right. And I think those books suited those times and great. And I think that's fine. I think that's fair. I feel pretty agnostic, honestly. I do believe in, like, I believe more so, I think, in energy. I believe in karma.

Yeah. I believe in, like, I feel more spiritual than I do religious. Yeah, I feel more spiritual too. And I think there's, to me, God encompasses all that. Like, I don't know if God is one thing or it's just energy. or it's just an all or the universe. Yeah. I think there's, I believe more monotheistically than plural.

I think we are part of one, even if it's huge like the universe. I think that's all like kind of, you know, we're in one. But I don't, but I don't know. I just, my best answer I could say is I don't know. Same. When people say, I know. I go, really. Like you could say, I believe, but I'm like, you know.

I think that too. I feel very like I could go either way. That's why I thought being agnostic makes the most sense to me. I would be lying if I said I knew. Right. I agree with you. I think the same thing too. I also like I had this talk with my friends the other day and I was saying like what if like if we were just to use the Bible for example like new and old Testament, whichever suits your fancy. Like, what if the real test, like if there is a God? Yeah. What if the real test is how you choose to interpret slash implement that in your life? Like, what if that is the test? Like, the test is not when you get up there, it's that. And it's not like it's one way or the other. It's how you live and walk in it in your life. Yeah. And maybe that is the test. It's like really up to interpretation. Yeah. Because it is so specific.

They made it up to. By the way, whether it's up to or not, we're interpreting it. Yeah. Because by the way, there's a lot of questions. I agree. And you're not still talking to us. Right. I agree. You know, there hasn't been a new Bible. Suddenly Bible stopped.

Two additions. Why can somebody write one in 2004? Like now, so it's like it had to come, but it hasn't been a new, new testament. Not to account for all the new shit. Yeah. There was nothing about AI in that Bible. So. No.

But some people do claim that there, you know. There was. Really, yeah, people stretch that like, oh, this person hinted at this and they said it would be in a land of this. So this, it's like it's all, you have to believe a very specific web of narrative. And you have to accept each piece. And it's asking too much. And honestly, if I get there and there's a God and it goes, why do you know, but honestly, I had doubts. I apologize.

I did the best I could. Honestly, I didn't, the signs weren't loud enough to me. I know it seems crazy. Now that you're pointing out these signs, I didn't. I didn't believe them. I have to tell you. Also, like, isn't that kind of on you? Like, make them bigger, make them louder. Literally talk to me.

Just call me up. Come in the bath. I don't care. You're always available to me. Whenever. Yeah, because I told my mother this with Jesus. I said, my, I am ready to be. I would love to be saved. Nobody wants to be saved more than me. He can come to me at any point.

At any, Jesus, I am available. Come talk. I don't, I'd love. I'd love to be saved. Like why is he, he's talked to my mother. I said, Matt, the dude hasn't approached me. Yeah, just call me up. He does not talk to me.

I love that he's come to you. He's helped you. He's zero. I don't think he likes me. I know, yeah. And maybe that's our cross to bear, honestly. Maybe that's what's in the stars. But I'm of Jesus, if you're listening to this podcast, and you should be, it's a very good conversation.

I'm available. Yeah, I'm open. I might have some, I might have some openings. week let me know literally back to our our fun facts about you it says you used to be a writer for a children show called the odd squad that's correct about an organization run by kids who solve problems using math skills and you won an Emmy for writing the show that's correct and how was it writing on a kid's show it was wonderful um it's where I started writing so that's the job that I got after I wrote my thing it got me to be your career yeah it got me representation and my goal at that point was

to leave my accounting job, but for something stable. I wasn't going to leave for like a three week job or whatever. So when they called me, he said, well, we have a job. It's more stable. It's at least six months, which felt good to me at the time to have like, you know, my sister's always said like,

have six months or three months emergency fund. Yeah. Right? Yeah. So at the time I was thinking that was good. The six month starting contract, but it's kids. It's live action.

It's PBS. And I said, I don't, you know what? I never got to go to. film school or anything, I'll take it. And I was never in a writer's room. I was never anything. So I started as a writer's assistant and I ended up, you know, they ended up promoting me at every way.

I became a writer on the show. And even though we didn't do sex or profanity, we still told stories. Yeah. With characters. And I learned how to write a script. We did 80 scripts a season, 80 11 minutes. And it's like, I learned how to trim how to become a writer. And I learned I was on set.

and I learned how to deal with art department and everything and they promoted me and became a writer and it was really my film school. That's so cool. And it really was my film school. That is really cool though. Like that's like in the field experience. That's what I'm saying. It's like I never, you know, when I went to school for accounting, it's because I got into school and I couldn't have. I was like, well, what's the least amount of school I could do for the most amount of payoff?

And they said if you go into accounting, they can give you a job this summer. So I was like, oh my God. And they were like, and that company gave me a laptop, which I had been doing university without a laptop. Which most, a lot of people did have a laptop, but I was like, and I was probably going to try and buy one at some point. But I'm like, oh my God, hired. Like I was so grateful to the count. I'm like, this is the best decision you ever made. I don't know what's going on with accounting, but I'm going to try and figure it out.

The three years that I worked as the accounting firm, shout out to KPMG, I really had no clue what I was doing. and I would constantly call my friends and be like, I truly don't understand what I have to do today at work. Like I would just, I couldn't figure it out. Imagine that was your accountant. Yeah, no, literally.

I'm figuring it out though. One day at a time. Well, thank God I was a junior and they have a lot of like train, like they know that you don't really know what you're doing for a while. But I really like felt like I don't, like I would go to my boss back.

I have nothing done. Like this is what I think. Like, and they would just have to do. I don't know what this is. That like literally. I remember calling my friend who was at another accounting firm because we all got these jobs out of school from that program. And I was like, do you know what you're doing?

Like I feel like I just pretend all day long. Like we're not creating anything. We're not writing anything. We're not enforcing the law. We're not like the police. Like we're not the fire department. Like we literally shuffle or explain things. Like I just,

I was losing my mind at what we were even doing. And you still don't know what it was. No, but except that I was paid every two weeks. I appreciate the supplies and it was a great job. When I was in college, one of the first jobs I had was like an assistant to like a media relations person for sports. So like I was just a secretary more than anything. But like I did lie significantly on my resume about things I could do. Of course.

And so those were the only jobs he gave me. and I every day I was like it's anyone's guess anyone's guess what I'm doing it's such a scary position to be in I remember those positions it's like yeah I can and I was also getting paid well too for the time because I had no money so yeah no it's all about the money it really is and sometimes like one of the things I lied about was knowing how to like you know when you say I'm proficient in adobe suite yeah I thought that just meant I generally know about Adobe programs I didn't know that meant I was mastered all of them and there are way more than I thought. I thought it was just Photoshop at the time. I thought it was PDF. You're talking and I'm like, I can open a PDF. I can convert a document to a PDF.

Photoshop and Adobe PDF. That was all I really knew. But there is one in there called In Design, which like to this day, I still don't fucking know. Maybe magazines I think is what I have no clue. But it's like very specific programming to lay out stuff. And he would ask me to like make like record books like for the universe. diversity like these are things that are important and he was like need you to type all of these records and put them in indesign. Girl, it's anyone's guess what I was doing. What did you tell him? Like you were in a very scary position. I just said, okay. And then I was literally just like pressing buttons and hoping it worked out. And then like I did kind of figure it out. But sometimes when you would look at my work, he would be like, there's all these like weird gaps and spaces. I'm like, yeah, that's crazy. I don't know

why that is. And it's because I didn't know how to go from the top line to the next line because it didn't work when you press enter so I would just hold the space bar down a million times until it got there yeah yeah and then he's like there's so many spaces I'm like that's crazy I don't know why that is that's nuts that's a that's exactly what I did even like for the script that I printed out at work to hand out I looked up like what format scripts are in and it's in final draft it's in that weird fucked up yeah you've seen a script that the font and I'm like what kind of a fucked up because I wrote it in word so then I looked up this program it was like 599 yeah USD I'm like are they mental that they think we have $500.

Like, and you could, but I found the font. I painstakingly went through Word and I went through all their fonts and I'm like, it's Courier. Like, yeah, so I used the courier. It was exact same font of this. And then the spacing, you can imagine, it drives a person to the rink. I'm surprised I'm here today to tell the tale because you could, you could really commit, you know. Yeah, yeah.

I did the spacing in Word, the character. like all what you can do with the space bar shout out to the space bar shout out to the space bar for real I agree the space bar it it honestly could be bigger it deserves all the room on the keyboard it has I agree that's all I used was that space bar I was just yeah I don't know that's crazy and I would like to think in most jobs I had before this when I was a personality hire too like I was of course that was part of it that was a huge part of it I was I was personally yeah we were all but I yeah accounting for him. They just knew I'd be a good chat. I got onto good files. I got to like go travel.

And they're like, but you're like the worst junior. And I'm like, but I always, you know, I'll have a drink with the partner. What do I care? Yeah. You know, I'm talking to him. I'm like, oh, that is a nice tie. Yeah. Like I, you know, and the partner, he's doing all the work, but it's like, they're not counting on me from major. But they're, they're asking us to lie. It's like, I remember applying to a shoe store and Eaton Center in Montreal Transit. It was like a, it was like an aldo or a shoe to let like that and they said well do you have an experience i said bitch where do you want me to start doing what i'm 17 and this is like the freaking payless like what do you have experience wearing shoes yeah it's like give me the job so it's like they ask

us to lie in our early that's true and i and i had that job at 17 too so that's like that's kind of on you to ask me to do something that imperative and i'm 17 that kind of seems like it's your but now look you know what it was a good foundation for you i think so i absolutely one of the jobs I had before I worked in because I worked for the NFL for a tiny bit before I started doing this. But before that I worked with my mom and PR, public relations. But I would like give out information about the long and short of it is I would tell people when their commute was going to be terrible for like the next 20 years. And then I'd just say like do you want to get emails about it? And then I would just get screamed out on porches for most of it.

So I was thinking like at one point I was like I mean, I'm in the too small polo on your step. Like I'm not making the decisions. Like believe or not, I hate the freeway too. Wait, why is their route going to be? What happened?

It was like varying things. Like when the 405 was being revamped and stuff. Oh. They have to do a whole bunch of things. Like they have to do like drilling and like. Oh my God. And so there's like dirt piles of dirt being blown in your yard and like. And you have to tell these people.

I have to let them know. I have to go door to door. That is one of the worst jobs I've heard about it. screaming at about like no you're lucky to be alive really like the worst things you can imagine which is in people's everyday life would be like a commute right and like the summer so I would be like yeah it's going to be drilling all night from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. um do you want to get emails about the drilling and they'd be like what do you mean drilling and we don't these people don't have a chance to move there's no it's just like it just letting you know by the way which like yeah that

would piss anybody off um unfortunately I'm 22 so like like and I have like no experience and or interest and giving you this information. I'm kind of just here. I'm here so I don't get fined. That was kind of my vibe. No, we had such bad jobs, eh, when you think about it. It wasn't going to work out for us. Yeah, when I worked at McDonald's and I was very lazy.

My friend Sheney and I actually worked at McDonald's. And we had the shift from 12 to 8 because if you work 12 to 8, you could sleep in, go out. And like 12 to 8 was like kind of perfect. Yeah. But one day I came in and our fries were running low. I came in for the lunch rush. That was my first shift of the day. But the fry box is like 80 pounds.

It's in a freezer that you could get locked into, which I, again, I like room temperature. I don't go in that fridge. I told them in training. I said, I don't fuck with that fridge. Okay. This Jew is not getting into that fridge and getting stuck on that fridge and freezing to death. I won't burn to death in an oven and I will not freeze in a fridge. Right.

And I'm also not carrying a 70 pound frozen. So I would wait. The manager normally always brought up the fries, but he was late that day. So by the time he came there, it was like chaos of the McDonald's because I was telling people we're out of fries, but I could offer them apple pies. It's like they fucking want fries, you know, so it was just. A rough shift for you. Yeah, I was just like, I can't.

I never worked fast food. I did work in a restaurant and that was awful, but I didn't ever work fast food. Fast food was so good. First of all, the job went fast. I mean, it was a bad job, obviously. But the food was delicious, and I ate at McDonald's every day. And I always growing up on a McDonald's. So by this time, I wasn't kosher.

That was your dream. And honestly, it was amazing. Right. I don't recommend it, but we got half off of food. So it was a really helpful job to have, not really think about food for the summer. That is nice. My staff meal was like my favorite part of my shift. It's the best.

I would get to, because the cooks, like, again, I'm a personality. hire so like I would make friends with everybody and so the cooks would make me stuff that wasn't on the staff menu that night but they just were really rocking with me and but I did get fired from that job so that is kind of a bummer but the day I got fired I was training uh I didn't know at the time but he was a meth head and I didn't know that at the time but when I did find out he was smoking meth on the job I was like okay I'm going to make sure I tell the manager like well I don't know if you would hire him he does meth on the job right see maybe you have you don't have good uh met meth radar yeah because maybe you were in Denver and there were meth heads around you maybe

who knows is that a button is that a button you see method method button i think like and i only knew because well i should have known because he was he was kind of skittish but like he just kept leaving in the middle of the shift and then one day i did follow him like or one time he left i followed him to the bathroom to like knock on the door and be like hey dude you got to come back out here um and i heard a lighter like flicking and like a little wayne song and then I heard the bubbles like bubbling and I see I don't know what meth is so I don't know what it is I just know what it sounds and looks like yeah yeah yeah I got a good idea I think but then when the manager like took me out back he's like oh I want to talk to you and I was like oh it's probably about the trainee I got to let it I got to break

the news that he's meth head and then he basically he's like so basically you're fired and you're moving to on call and he the guy you trained today is going to replace you and he's going to take all your shifts and he said do you have any questions for me or anything you want to say and then i was like nope so i just didn't tell him and then they found out the hard way that he was a method perfect yeah karma perfect that's what i believe in perfect i yeah i know i believe in all of it and there's also by the way we talked about believing what we believe in what we don't believe in that said speaking of the speaking of it there's nothing i don't believe in okay i know it seems like okay i only believe there's nothing i don't believe these are all possibilities you know i also think that like

you know, it's as crazy that I'm here on this planet, that there would be an afterlife, that there would be like, to me, I'm not plugged into a wall. I don't wear batteries. Like, it's amazing. This is as as outstanding and unbelievable as that there would be my, like, all of it. I believe it. I'm just open to everything. I think these are all like possible. I can't say that I know. That's too. I believe you. I'm with you. I like also. I like being right all the time too. So sometimes I like to keep all my options open. Yeah. So I, Either way, I can be like, I knew it. No, I would get there and be like, listen, I thought it was possible.

It's just, I was not, you know, could I would do, if you want me to lie to you, I'd say, I know, I believe. But, but I can't lie and say I believe, like, I don't know. Yeah, I don't either. Yeah. I guess we'll find out together eventually. Okay. Last fun fact, uh, you've just been nominated for an Emmy for outstanding guest actress in the comedy series for your role on hacks. It's insane.

No, I think my character too on the show, she's, you know, she's hacks for the people. She's really just a very, I don't know, hacks felt like such a, maybe it's like a very inside baseball, Hollywood thing. And then Randy was just off the bus of the people into that world. So I think it, I think maybe that's what. Like Randy's as surprised as I am surprised as everyone. It's like it just feels like really good vibes. Yeah.
