Oh my gosh. It's an honor to have you. Living icon, living legend. Oh, my goodness. Did you see my mic work? Yeah. That was a bit I prepared for you. Yeah, super misogynist.

It's groping you. I'm sorry about that. I thought I was groping it. I mean, truly, I thought it was actually feminist what I just did. You're right. That's so true. I don't want to silence women. Thank you.

I'm so happy to help you. having me you're so smart and cool and beautiful and funny thank you i feel the same about you thank you and i think you're just a living comedy legend first off i want to say i'm my god huge huge broad city fan and more specifically i love that it was an online series that got bought and then turned into a very successful that's right tv show like a web series that was on youtube and facebook that was like how it first was like so like most shareable it was like that was the thing yeah when when when Facebook used to be, I don't know if you know this, it used to be just for college kids. Oh, yes, because I've seen the social network.

Right, right. That historical piece. Moment in time. Yes. So it was like, yeah, all that you say is true and resonating. I think that's really, truly very inspiring for someone like myself also, just because obviously I'm a dickhead online currently. But I love the ability to translate.

transition and like be able to utilize a medium and be able to turn it into like traditional entertainment and I just I admire you a lot for being able to do that jump like you Issa Ray Quinta Brunson y'all are incredible thank you sister fantastic and amazing and you've been in comedy for a long time I'd love to know obviously well you have any special coming out that's right very exciting that's right please tell us all about it it's called human magic it's on hulu and Disney plus worldwide starting December 20th and it's my latest hour of stand-up. I toured it around the country with my tour manager, Madeline Kim. There she was my tour manager, Madeline Kim.

52 shows, 48 cities stretched out across like nine months instead of like jamming it. We were just talking about mental health. Instead of jamming it into two or three months where I'm like a horrible monster. It was stretched out over nine months and I was a wonderful human. That's nice. And it was like the first time I learned that and I had so much fun. Oh my gosh. That's so cool.

I think you can see in human magic how much fun I had. It was transformative for me. How do you like tour? Obviously, it seems like you've figured out a way to tour. Yes. The way I did it, I love it. Okay. And instead of like making it a, okay, so I have a three and a half year old.

Yes. So if I'm gone from her, Noel, your mom would know this. If I'm gone from more than two days, I'm like, why am I on a planet? Get me off this planet. I don't want to be on this planet. Yeah, you're like, I'm gone. Get me back to my baby. So I would only go away two nights a week and Thursday, Friday, so that I could be with my family

in the weekends, which is a very important connective time. Yeah. And yeah. And then I would take weeks off, the third week off, and just did it in seasons. Summer season, fall season, and late winter, spring season. And it was just like, the way that it was spaced out, I had more time to keep, you know, crafting the material. The notes would, like, come up.

And also, like, really here what the audience was very. viving with. Yeah. Instead of just be like, I don't even remember one show to the- Yeah, yeah, because they're all blending together when you do them one after the other. And I really like also, I felt so, um, so blessed to have the opportunity to connect with people at such a divisive time and be like, people want to get together. Yeah.

I really, um, my audiences are incredible. I am so grateful for these like cool, funny, beautiful people. but also, you know, maybe it's just me in my own little world, but I do feel like people, um, the majority of people want to connect. Yeah. And vibe. Totally. And not worry about their basic needs.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes they want, they want an hour to laugh. Yeah. And like really can laugh at the same shit.

Totally. Totally. It's not their body, their bodyed experience there or whatever. Like just want to laugh at dumb shit. And that's a good. comic, honestly, one that can reach anybody, like at any point in their life. I think that's what makes, because I've loved stand-up forever. Well before I did this. That's the one thing I've ever done in this job that truly makes me nervous. Like, nothing else ever, I never get nervous.

I never get stage right because I love attention. So I'm like, yeah, love that, love that. No, I'll go on a stage. I don't care. But stand-up, like, I've only done stand-up one time so far. And I did a tight five. And I was sick to my stomach nervous. I haven't felt like that ever. Girl, I've been doing stand-up. Okay, I'm 37. Let's do math. Help. I started when I was 19.

18. Okay, 18 years. I've said this like, because also because my movie Babes came out earlier in the spring. Yeah. I've been talking about how I've been doing stand-up for 18 years. Like, I've said it maybe 327 times. And every time I'm like, what's the math?

It's like 11 years. Just the numbers. I started to panic. 18 years. I've been doing it 18 years and I still get nervous. And my, my, like, pre-show routine was to talk to myself. out loud for four hours. Okay. And out loud makes it not like, bing, bong, bing, bong, bing around my head. That's a really good point. But rather one thought stream. Totally. And for two hours, I'm like

stacking it up. I call it. I'm just talking about like objective reality, validating my feelings as my reality, but that's not objective reality. Yeah. And then two hours to talk through my set, just like, I'm nervous too. I had Broad City. I've done a stand-up tour. I've done a stand-up special. Still that nervous. Yeah. That's why. why I like I don't and it was a completely different feeling of like hearing them laugh at shit I wrote like like purposely with the intention to hopefully make them laugh beautiful and so like I remember I opened for my friend Caleb Heron yes I'm meeting him and and doing his pod next week I believe love him you're gonna love him and you can tell him I hate him when you go yeah okay I hear you and

Brittany Brosekey told me to tell him he's a gutter hooker I was reading her I was like, what are you talking about? And you can tell him that I said he owes me money. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And I will come to collect it soon. You owe her money and she's coming to collect it.

And then Brittany works me says you're a gutter hooker. Okay, I got it. Thank you very much, Alana. Let me know how you receives the message. I will. You're going to be like, who is this? I hope. Like me following up.

Yeah, it's, it's, uh, I opened for him. And Chris Fleming. Chris Fleming was his other opener and I did a baby five. and I was so scared. And Caleb was telling me like, that's exciting. That's a good thing. That means you're going to enjoy it. And after I finished, I was like, I felt so like different than when I do other things that make people laugh.

Like when I'm just telling random off the cuff jokes, it's very different from like writing them out physically. Because I hadn't written shit like that. Like it felt so kind of silly when I was, because Caleb had, he helped me so much with my set. And he was telling me, it's going to feel stupid, but write them as if you're, you're talking. Like write them down as if you're talking and then like say them out loud so you can hear how your cadence is, how you talk. Right. And that will help you kind of formulate it. Yeah. And I was like, okay. I love him. There's such a gutter hooker. I love that. I love that broke gutter hooker. Yeah. He's a he's a genius. Can you describe the difference? I want to hear like what

it what it means to you. I think the difference is like when I'm when I make TikTok videos or when I'm, like doing talks and just cracking jokes, that feels like that's just how I talk and how I think. But what I think when I was telling jokes that I specifically wrote, like my goal was to actually reach people and hope that they could relate to it. Whereas when I feel like I'm just kind of talking, I'm just saying shit I find funny. Nice. Whereas when I'm writing, I feel like I want to write something that I find funny, but also other people can relate to and also find funny. Cool. Thank you for articulating that. Yeah, there's a lot more thought process to it. as opposed to like when you're just kind of riffing.

Yeah. And I was going to ask you that question about like the difference between writing for like Broad City versus like writing your own stand up. Like how is that for you and like what's the difference in feeling? Yeah. Because I feel like there's a lot of improv in Broad City too, I'm sure. But there was but it was like so written. It was so fucking written.

And we were on such a tight budget. It was important to be like extremely prepared. Yeah. And it wasn't even like we had so much time to play. We were like really. obsessed with the writing was our damn thing I mean like we improvped and we did play but

yeah and like the difference you know I started in comedy it was like a different world there weren't smartphones there wasn't the surveillance culture that we are oppressed under now

so people were less self-aware and it wasn't better for women you know what I mean naturally yeah the past yeah the past wasn't but there was like a freedom general human freedom that um you know it was more like in person like i used to go to just get up

every night sketch stand up improv sketch stand up improv yeah and then when broad city hit for abby and i just the web series i'm just talking about finding your voice hit yeah um it was like that was almost like where yeah that like forming my voice that was where like okay this container for my ideas rants act outs can be. And then I really started focusing like in season four of Broad City on standup again and focusing on stand-up. I was like I've done sketch, I've done improv,

but like I really like stand-up. And it's kind of the same ingredients but with like the dials turned up and down where you know the I don't know. So it feels similar but it's scarier. It's more naked. It's um, you have to be it's it's more naked and you have to be like stronger in a way to like withstand

absolute fucking silence i'm not kidding i was just about to say that's that was my greatest fear i'd rather silence than like pity laughs is gross you know what i mean or like um someone who thinks you're trying your best yeah it's like it's like just don't even worry about it you know I mean. Please don't. Yeah. And like also, you know what it was? Also it was like, Broad City was so, it was such a like miraculous.

It felt like we were, do you know the, the more you know star? Yeah. It was almost like Abby and I were straddling it across the sky and the screen. And we were like, holy fuck and shit, you know. But like, stand up since I like returned to it and especially this, this tour with the pause of COVID. I paused for like a year or two with stand up. and then the reflective experience of having a baby and the distance from broad city and doing

therapy through all of that I was like this is a little service that I can offer people and to make it that to to draw the lines around it made it much like more containable for me and a lot less like who am I but more like oh here's like a dumb little thing you didn't like it yeah that's totally fine I get it I won't say again and then like okay I'm going to try this little thing you know That made it more graspable, accessible emotionally for me. Yeah, and able to kind of build. Like, build a new foundation almost. Like brick by brick.

I totally. I get what you mean. And it's also, you're right. Like the landscape of comedy has like shifted drastically with the internet, with surveillance, with like. And it's also catching up, I feel like culturally. Surveillance and also, I just did, you know, Bill Burr? Yeah. I just did Bill Burr's like video podcast, whatever.

And we're just talking about like, you know, it's. It's called, you can call a conspiracy theories as a joke, but really it's anti-capitalism rhetoric. Like that's the other thing that has heightened in the past few years of like, I would say Gen Z Millennials and other, you know, other generations, but like Gen Zin millennials really honing in on like, we live in a design that is capitalist. Yep. And it's not the way things are. It's just the way this is right now.

And that before, like Alana Wexon and Broad City, it used to be like, cookie rain. And now that's like very like kind of I think like mainstream thought. Yeah. Yeah. No, I get what you mean. It's it's like the stream of consciousness that's kind of it's elevated almost. It's almost like like you said, people are even more self-aware than they ever have been. Yeah.

And aware of the system we're in. Aware of the context. Yeah, totally. Which is why I think comedians like yourself or like Caleb or like Chris Fleming do so well because it's, first of all, you're living ahead of your time. Like a lot of people clip Broad City now and they're like, this is literally. living ahead of its time because of what you talked about then. God bless. But now people find it even funnier that it was existing back then.

Yeah, it was like it was like a secret. Yeah. And it was like a cult hit at the time compared to like workaholics. Yes. For example, which was, you know, which was really funny. Those boys were so silly and funny. Yeah. But in a different way.

Oh, in a completely like completely different way. existing almost on almost on opposite I was going to say and we can say it it's smarter in Broad City and that's okay it's not a dig

it's still funny but it's straight guy humor versus different humor yeah I would say like you know we were more marginalized voices and they were more the mainstream and made

they had like much greater views you know I mean and Comedy Central held on for us and really you know Comedy Central was thriving at time with all different kinds of shows and voices but it's it's interesting well in Broad City was huge on Tumblr at the time and I remember because I was big into Tumblr wow that's crazy

and Broad City was all over Tumblr and I and that's because that's where a lot of women and gays are right and that's where it builds cult following that's where Lana blew up Lana got really big too because she's on Tumblr right so it's like it I made this joke when Rebecca Black was on my show not too long ago. How's she doing? She's doing great. She's a pop star. I love her.

We love help. But she made a joke. She made a joke about how she was like gay people have always been so supportive of me. And she's like when everybody was fucking hating me because of Friday I was like, gay people were like she's fierce. You guys don't see it yet, but she's fierce. And now like you fast forward to now and now she, they love her.

And they've, so it's this. I feel like it's the same thing. Like they always know like women and gays. They always know. They can tell. Yeah. They pick winners, you know. And y'all are winners.

And it's also like when McKay is not necessarily even like the bodies people inhabit, but like those who claim their power. T. Get into it. And are smart. And get and have a completely different type of humor. For sure. And see, like it's kind of like everyone who loves Broad City would get workaholics,

but not everybody who loves workaholics would get Broadd City. For sure. You know what I mean? It's like all squares and rectangles kind of thing. Yeah. That kind of thing. All rectangles are squares, but not all squares are rectangles. Vice versa, but correct.

Right. Okay. Tea. Yeah. I was just like me. Yeah. Anyway. Okay.

A little more tea as it's like unfolding in my brain. It's like we are more aware of our social programming, social scripting. Yeah. And it seemed like it seemed like nutty rants of Alana's at the time. Or when Abby would finally gather enough strength, she'd explode about it. You know what I mean? But Alana was like carrying that weight all the time. and then Abby would, you know, burst at the right times.

Whereas that's the other thing that we're more aware of. Maybe being redundant, but I just found a different phrase. No, that's totally fine. And it's true. Snip. It's edited. Exactly. And it's my show.

Yeah. And if repeating yourself as a crime, take me away, officer. The amount of time, the amount of times, sometimes people are like, I love you so much, but like she's told that story. Okay, first of all, most times, this is my first time meeting my guess, and they haven't heard the story. Second of all, it's my show. I want to repeat myself, you try telling stories 150.

times. Right. You're going to run out. Yeah. Eventually. I'm going to scrape the bottom of the barrel at that at some point. But I do want to talk more about your new stand-up special. So I know it's based on motherhood, your journey with motherhood. And how was that crafting that kind of set for your new special? It was really fun because I had something, this experience of creating a person in my body and pushing that amount of my body was so new and far from work. and the social scripting. It was so new that it was like really fun to think about in this way.

And like it was like not like I wasn't like, you know, like working to grind out the material. I was just like living, chilling and something would come up. And I'm like, te, te, te, te, te, de, de, you know, writing it down. I love that. And then living, chilling. And then something comes out and I'm like, L-O-L. You know? That one's going to kill.

That one's going to kill. Or not. And it's just for me. But like, but yeah. Like it was really, it was so nice to have that change from the years of comedy that I had, you know, performed and written and created in film before to like have this whole new experience was, I feel so. It feels like reinvigorating.

Yes. Yes. Your creative juices are flowing again. Yeah. And like I saw myself so differently. Like also with Broad City and I wonder how you feel about this like, especially it's like a different thing and it's so sped up with tick. TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, watching yourself filmed and editing it, editing yourself is like it's powerful and you can really control your own narrative.

But like it's hard to control the personal growth that's happening. Totally. I get what you're saying. You know? And it's like, I'll say this. It's like it doesn't necessarily impede upon or interrupt or diminish or ruin that self-actualization. It doesn't necessarily do that, but it does something to it. Yeah, totally.

It's part of it. Yeah. And you're not free from it. Yeah, totally. You're just not if you're choosing to do it. So this was so much freer in that way. I wasn't fucking filming the experience. Yeah.

You know, I know what you mean. I was like leggings and vintage t-shirts I'm going to get tailored to be crop tops. And that's what I'm going to wear for like six months. You know what I mean? It wasn't like, well, you know, I'd look better if I'd like sort of just lifted the waistline. It was like so, so just like function-based. I know what you mean. It was so real.

It was so fucking real. It was really fucking cool. And it probably makes you fall back in love with what you were originally in love with you. That's right. Your well runs dry. I get what you mean. That's right. When you're having the same lived experiences, especially when you, your art becomes your job.

That is correct. Not many people are lucky to have. And luckily you've had that. Now I get to have it too. But then once you commodify it, it, the inspiration kind of. stops because you're living in a bubble at that point. That's right. And it's a bit of a snake eating its own tail.

Yeah. And that's why I was like happy to hear you say you're taking a break from TikTok because that's like real, that's the currency of life is time. Totally. And if you can spend that time not being productive or producing or generative and simply stopping. Yep. It's like that's the human magic, not to tell my own fucking Stanlost, but that is the human, that

is human magic. That's true. You're right. Shit just fucking blooms. It's true. If you give it a little space and all the time, it just fucking to breathe. And like, I didn't know what it was going to be like and like just like hanging out with a newborn newborn baby who's like, who's by and large useless in a lot of ways. Oh, absolutely helpless. Like I say my special, pathetic. They're fully pathetic. Um, helpless, you know, little like sort of jelly neck, you know, they can't even hold their fucking heads up. And yet like totally wondrous. I'm like, I made your, everything crazy um just in my lived in experience of um having the experience of pregnancy and the baby being uh my genetic baby um but there are many experiences which is like cool that we're learning about

all different kinds of ways that people become uh parents totally but that was my experience and i was like grow your toe mine you know and then also she's growing now on her own like that's fucking crazy that is crazy day to day you know like going from like over here to like boom actually can look at my eyes like holy shit walk and talk and all that magic yeah that and that's so true because I feel like like you said too with mine it's like with you know short form content it speeds everything up a lot faster too so it's like you're living a million lives in one yeah and so I did kind of start hitting like the the bottom of the well a while ago like probably a year and a half ago and I was telling my team I'm like I'm like I'm like I'm

I mean, I can only tell men to suck my dick so many ways. Like, after a while, it starts to get repetitive and I'm getting bored. Like, and I would say on TikTok, sometimes I would talk about that. Like, I would say, like, I don't really have much to make fun of anymore because, first of all, they're like roaches. They've scattered. They're hiding in the walls. I can't see them. And then because they're afraid of me.

And then on top of that, like, I'm bored. Like, none of them can really compete with me, so it's boring. And so I was feeling uninspired. Like you said, it starts to, it feels like Groundhog's Day after a while. you're living the same life. So I started kind of pivoting to different stuff. And I think that's why stand up was so exciting for me. Yeah.

Because I get to pull from experiences. That's why I love this show and like my show with my sister because I get to talk about things in a longer format and get to kind of elaborate. And then you can pull from other parts of your life. But you're right. Like living life is how you stay funny. That's right. And also like being mentally healthy.

Like as we see, you know, it used to be interesting for like touch. shouldn't man to touch everybody around them and make life a living hell and then that would be like somehow conflated with the immense talent and it's just like that that you know that lie has been like really revealed and it's like weak and not interesting actually like yeah because it's not special everyone is in a lot of pain and everyone is suffering totally and everyone deserves to have their basic needs met. Yeah. Like on the planet, like a standard for basic human rights is like not that progressive.

It's not that like big a deal a little. But it's like not that big a deal. That's something that we could achieve very quickly. And should agree on. Yeah. And isn't. That's not radical. Yeah.

It shouldn't be controversial to say that or believe it. Yeah. So it's just like everyone's really suffering. And I've found, you know, conversely to all the like toxicity of online discourse. Yeah. I've also found that at least Gen Zian millennials, you know, can speak to suffering and being like fucking sad and like thinking about death, like way more as a mainstream conversation than when I was in my 20s. Yeah.

And it's more, it's like more access. It's like a beautiful thing and a curse all at the same time. Yeah. But it's like I what it, the good it's brought to the world, I feel like outweighs the bad in a lot of ways for me personally. but I also feel like it's good idea to keep an eye on the bad. It is pretty bad online. But speaking of your new inspiration for your special, your daughter is a huge inspiration of your special.

Yeah. What she into nowadays? She into anything special? She's really into Aladdin, which is a big part, not a big part, but it's like a moment in my special. Love. Because she and I, I guess, when she was inside of me, we're watching it when she was,

I tell this story in my stand-of special about my baby, being upside down, which is right side up for you and I, but for fetuses, right side up is upside down. They're supposed to have their head to your pussy. As I say, my special, knock, knock, knocking on that pussy door, like, hello, mama. Mommy, here I am. I say, here's Johnny. Am I special? Anyway, so she and I, while she was inside, watched Aladdin while I did this thing where I like got upside down in doggy style, face down, ass up to like try to spin her around. Right. To get her head back down to my pussy.

Gotcha. And it actually fucking worked. It fucking worked, bitch. You rolled her like a dice. Yeah. And I like, it was like actually so interesting. I like felt Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible Energy. I swear to God, I was like, this thing.

I didn't know what if she was a girl boy. I was like this fetus is like moving. Like not only was I feeling the movement, but I was like genuinely. I swear to God genuinely feeling Dun dun dun dun dun dun Energy just crawling in a circle And she like yeah And the next day I had like a false alarm

Went to the hospital and got a sonogram And it had worked Wow Yeah doggy style for 20 minutes Spun my baby into the correct position I was like thank you bitch Thank you Google I googled it and found spinning babies

And I was like we lit And I took care of it didn't that And don't say I never did anything for you to your daughter That's right So now I'm realizing that connection And now she's like so into Aladdin and we're singing it and we're dancing and I'm Aladdin. She's Jasmine. Obviously.

She like also notices when Aladdin, when Jasmine has her red look when she's trying to like get Jafar or whatever. She's into Aladdin. O.G. Moana, Coco, of course. Love. What else is she into? We're into anime. That's really fun. Oh, cute.

Love that. Yes. And it's like really beautiful art for her to watch, which I like instead of like shitty bad animation. Like she deserves to look. at good beautiful art. Right. And it's good enough for her. Yeah.

Which means it's good enough for everyone. Three and a half. You know what she's into? Nightmare before Christmas. Tim Burton fan. I've been seeing lots of babies. Really? That love Tim Burton lately.

I can't relate as a former baby. I can't relate to that. Yeah. Because it's too scary. Yeah, I was uki-spooped. Like, as a child, I was a big scaredy cat. I was like, no. And also if there's no women that I can be like,

I need her to do this with that guy. Like Lion King, I was like, get the fuck out of here. Nice. Animals, don't give a fuck. Humans. Show me girls. Yeah. Right, right, right.

I love that. Yeah. But she likes the spooky stuff. Corp bride. And then also like she, it's interesting. She likes to conquer her fears. So it'll be like the scariest fucking thing. And she's like, no, no, no, no, no.

And then she goes, go back. I'm like, oh, she. Okay. Okay. You know. It's very interesting. Tim Burton. That's so interesting.

That's a thing. I just saw a TikTok. It was the cute. thing ever but it was a it was a baby he looked like he'd been like three or four but he loves the nightmare before christmas and he's memorized the whole intro and all the words of the song i send it to my mom because she loves watching babies love things yeah oh it's like when babies love things my mom loves to watch them oh you miss your baby oh my god my brother was because my brother my sister and i are two years apart my brother's nine years younger than me wow three total yes god bless because we we weren't planned he was

So I like he was like our baby because like we all are older than decent no she's older than me yeah she's So he's 11 years older than me yeah so he was like our first baby like he was all of our baby like me my mom and my sister

That's such a blessing right and I was like for him it probably sucks but for us it was awesome no way he's like mommy mommy mommy he loved it yeah it's funny because my my fiancee has a younger brother he's like six years younger than him and but he's older than my brother and like When we talk about it, I'm like, oh, so do you know how to like change diapers and stuff? He was like, no. Yeah. And I was like, oh, must be nice. I was like, no, I know how to change a diaper. I know how to do bottles.

I know how to burp, all that stuff. Yeah. I'm real good. Shout out to Brian Duhan. This is a guy that you would think is like just some guy who would like put you to the side. But my friend who's like Long Island as hell, he had three younger brothers and like changed their motherfucking diapers. Love that.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, and now he's like the dad of three kids. He's spinning him like basketball. Yeah, he married one of my best friends, Jenna. Oh, that's so cute. They're killing it. Do hands.

Long Island. I'm loving you. Miss you. Talk to you soon. They're not watching this, no offense. But they're too busy with their three children. That's right. I don't care about you guys, whatever.

That's right. It's just because they're busy. Just kidding. That's all. Yeah, three kids. Okay. Yeah. You know something about that.

I know. I do. I feel like kids are so fun. Like, they're a lot, but they're funny as hell. Like, my brother, my brother was one of the funniest kids alive, but that was just like, I don't know what it was about him. It was just something. He is a real, like, cartoony personality. Like, so I remember when he was a kid once, we picked him up from peewee football.

And when we picked him up, like, it was my sister too. It was me and my sister. And he was, like, telling my sister something. He goes, okay, I need to tell you guys something. grandpa can't come to my football games anymore. Mind you, my grandfather only went to like a few. He would go to like the big ones. And then we were like, why?

And he goes, well, remember how I missed like the game the other? He missed a game and we like, Dason was telling him like, hey, like, if anyone, he's like, what do I tell people? Because like we ditched it so we could do something fun. And he's like, what do I tell? Yeah, with him. Yeah.

So he was like, what do I tell my teammates? And like my coach. And we were, we were saying, just say you got to. family emergency right and he was like okay so a kid asked him it wasn't even a coach because it's pee football doesn't matter doesn't mean anything and he was like the kid asked why'd you miss on saturday he's like oh i had a family emergency and then he said well what was it mind you my brother's like nine so he could easily be like i don't know but he goes my grandpa fell and broke his leg which is not true my grandpa's never fallen and nor has he broken his leg and he goes he literally

can't come to any more of my games they're going to find out i was lying oh my god And I was like, it's all right. It's not a big deal. I'll break the news to grandpa, but I'm sure it'll be fine. And also like it was the other grandpa? Like, he can't think that far. Oops. It's all right.

No worries. For continuity, I'll put it back. It's not going to work. Santa was here. Does she like anything else that's kind of strange? It feels like it would make sense that your daughter likes Nightmare before. Christmas. Love it. I'm a scaredy. I'm ukey-spooky like you said. I'm scared. So I'm like, okay, go girl. Um, uh, I don't know. I, I, I, I, I, maybe I'm not, maybe I'm not

judgmental enough, but I don't find anything strange for a thrill to like. She's, you know, everything's poopy, obviously. I'm like, where are you eating? She's like, poop. I'm like, um, what's how was school? She's like, poop. Okay. All right. Um, um, she got, um, um, she got, got that funny gene from you oh she's so funny um poopie is like really big right now was she a big baby when she was born yeah she was seven pounds eight ounces okay yeah love that yeah i was a large child wow how how how how how i was nine pounds 11 ounces oh my god 13 ounces oh my god my mom goes 13 wow wow okay my brother was 10 one yeah 10 pounds one ounce oh my god yeah big babies incredible. Yeah, big. Wow. My dad's 6-6, so that's why. We're a large family. Oh my God. I'm like,

I'm an Ashkenazi Jew and we tend to be shorter. So seven pounds, eight ounces was like enormous. Really big for us. I was like this baby's huge. Six-six. That's wild. Yeah. My, my fiance was 11 pounds, like 13 ounces when he was born. Girl. Yeah, you should, I will show, I'll show you pictures after of what my fiancee looked like as a toddler. that's a grown man. Wow. Like he was wearing like Tommy Bahama button now. I wish I was waking that up.

I'm not making that up. He didn't fit into shit. He didn't fit into anything. That is insane. Yeah. Like when I remember when my mom was having her baby shower for my little brother, she was like no clothes. Like please don't buy me any clothes.

And it's because she knew my brother was going to be enormous. Wow. So he came out and he was wearing like what age clothing? Six to nine months. Wow. That's why she was like, don't buy me any clothes because none of them are going to fit. Don't buy me. any clothes. It's so cute that you have those memories. Yeah. His babyness and we're like a part of it and such a

helpful. He was such a beautiful, a beautiful baby, like genuinely such a beautiful baby. But, um, that's so sweet. Oh, I know. I'm going to talk shit on him right now. Don't worry. Um, I remember when I, I used to like pack his, uh, diaper bag and stuff and like, oh my God. Yeah, all the time. My sister and I would switch off. Like, sometimes someone would do the backpack with all the clothes and then someone would do the food. That is so sweet. Right. My poor mom was just like, They were both so busy and both my parents. So we were like enlisted. But we loved it because I felt like I had a baby.

And I remember my brother was the pickiest eater ever. Like he only ate three things forever. Dang. Even when he ate apples, the skin had to be peeled off. Of course. Like it was just insane. Pairs skin off has to be. And I was, I would like tell him like when you were a baby, why am I dicing carrots

Julian for you? Yeah. You're a useless baby. And here I am. car me in the fucking kitchen right right you know what i mean yeah shouting at my line cooks that's right because my shit's not rare enough six years old yeah yeah literally i was like i'm not even in 10th grade yet i'm in fifth grade i was 10 i think at the time so i was like well but i it sounds like your baby's awesome i'll be honest yeah she's so cool you can like see in my special how cool she is

yeah i'm like lit up about it because i fucking love her she's so cool how was the process of giving birth i'm curious um i had a i mean i'm like let's just i'm an optimistic person yeah and i'm like so grateful to be alive in a weird baseline way yeah um but i had a great time i had a great birth and oh that's good so your birth um typically or yeah tends to typically like mirror your moms okay so i asked my mom what my brother elliott's what what giving birth to elliott was like because that's her first birth experience and this is my first birth experience and um she was in labor for 36 hours and pushed for like 20 minutes and that was pretty much my experience oh okay but like i was like really informed um more informed than she was at the time oh my god when i was a baby it wasn't an option to know

the baby's sex really crazy so that you couldn't know at all that you just find out once you were born we chose we chose not to know okay no choice back then crazy That is insane. So I labored at home for 24 hours and I was like kind of partying. So you have to get to like 10 centimeters. Like your pussy opens up to 10 fucking centimeters. Yeah. It's like fucking crazy.

It's enormous. Yeah. Nuts. When you look at it in the diagram, it's crazy. It's crazy. It's crazy. You know like, yo 10 fucking centimeters. Like that sandworm on dune.

You know, like, oh, there's all those teeth in there. Don't know. It just watched it like over my husband's shoulder. If you Google it, you'll laugh. Okay. You couldn't remember the sandworms in Beetlejuice, anybody? Great, okay, great. Girl, hello?

Still here. That one, no. Oh, God. So, oh, yeah, Beetlejuice was rebooted. You would know it. Anyway, so within that 24 hours, I only got to two centimeters, which is why I was, like, pretty chill at home. if it had gotten open if I had opened up even more I'd be like you know what I mean so like so the 24 hours I was like I'm just going to take it easy

and chill and I was like I couldn't really sleep because I kept waking up with these contractions but like it was nice to be home it was nice to eat because you know when you get to the hospital you can't eat based on like weird like 1920s hysteria his hospital shit yeah and then you got poop yeah um yeah I think I pooped a little but it wasn't like as big a deal as um it's real normal that's like it's real normal that's real normal You're like using all the force you have in your pelvic floor. Of course you're going to poop a little bit. You're going to poop, yeah.

But then after 24 hours, I went to the hospital and got an epidural, scariest part of the birth. I was like, weeping, shaking. My husband's like hugging and holding me. I'm like, I was so scared. It's like, oh, a needle in the base of my fucking spine. Yeah. I liked it. But, okay, I got past that.

And then 12 hours later, before I got any. like shit to open it up like I opened up to nine centimeters over those 12 hours but wasn't feeling all the pain that would have come if I hadn't gotten the epidural yeah and then it was like seven in the morning we gave me a kiss of potosin to be like okay let's go to the 10th centimeter and it was like 15 minutes four pushes so there's like space you know minutes yeah I'm sure you know this more than I did but like minutes between it's like one minute of a contraction and the opportunity to push but then these breaks of like four minutes in between.

Yeah. So it was like four pushes. The first push, shout out to Dr. Chaw, Dr. Laura Chaw, fucking bad bitch. First push, she spun my baby upward. So her head and like nose were down by my anus, my anus. And she twisted it up so the nose was up toward the clit, honestly, and where the head's to be.

And then, you know, got the head out. And my baby was like, she's like her fucking head out of my. I mean, I didn't see it. I'm just like, imagining. And then got one shoulder out on the second, on the third push out of four. And then the fourth push, it was like, here we go. Boom. And she was like such a little athlete, this like petite like woman.

She was like, come on, go, go. You know, it was like so. I was like, I don't do sports. This is like miraculous to me. It was like really fun. It was fucking cool. That's so good though. I'm glad you had a good experience.

Yeah. That's great. Me too. I'm really lucky because maternal care varies wildly in this country. I know. Black women are the most at risk. Yeah, totally. Like crazy at risk.

And it is a like truly risky process having a child bearing, like giving birth to a child is so inherently dangerous for anyone who gives birth. That's right. Did you know Serena Williams' birth story? No. It is so crazy and it highlights the systemic dangers created for black women to give birth. Yeah. The greatest American athlete. I mean ever

Ever fucking ever Was like not being heard Not being listened to About blood clots And she had not only She had experience But the instinct She was like no I'm definitely experiencing this right now

They're like Serena Williams Why would you know anything about your body She was like no give me She told them the medicine to give She told them the procedure to do You know she told the medical professionals Had a care for her And she otherwise could have died

If she didn't speak up for herself like that That's fucking insane It is fucking insane. It's crazy. I feel like it's such a, it's so normalized too where it's like, well, you don't know. Actually, I think I would because I'm in the body you're looking at. So like, you would think, you would think listening to women when they tell you,

hey, this hurts or this is wrong, you'd be like, well, maybe I should look into it. Yeah. Instead of just assuming every, every woman, especially women of color, are fucking stupid. Yeah, it's nuts. it's that's why it's so valuable that you had that experience with your baby brother and like I babysat as in my special I talk about I got like big titty's young so I looked older and I was babysitting at nine I was like nine years old I was like I can do this I was like a bus boy at 11 fully it was like off the books if you don't believe it and and it's really useful

to have that experience because you're so told that you don't know so to get that experience young you can like be confident early totally especially like my My mom is so, my mom is a huge advocate for like, no, something's wrong, check again. Like I've like watched my mom do that. Beautiful. Our entire lives. Oh, God, bless you. You.

I assess. See strong women. When I was a kid, I went through like a phase where I was really sleepy and I bruised really easily when I was a baby, which is a sign of leukemia, especially the sleepiness. How baby? How young were you? I was like, probably like five. Oh, my gosh.

Look 10. though I was huge yeah I was a ginormous child I can't just that enough it was a very large child but my mom like I would bruise very easily and I was always tired like I was sleeping all the time I'm like getting nervous yeah and then my mom took me to the doctor and they were like I think she's fine and then my mom was like check again like she just kept to check again and then when they checked again I was severely anemic so that's why I was just low in iron thankfully and I'm still really anemic to this day however do I take care of it well that's a question for another time that's what you're going to do while you're not making TikToks is chuck on your anemia manage my

that's right can i ask like mom guidance when drew tells this story is it within the same session where you're like you check that again within the same session or you came back in the same session wow cool yeah because you didn't read the fucking meter right the first time what the fuck are you talking about great i really appreciate that well that's what makes me laugh because my mom is not a doctor my mom just knows her child so that's why my mom's like no just check again right what's going to cost you check again. I love it. Yeah. So it's actually so important, I think, like you said, to be exposed to other women and like women telling their stories about advocating for themselves in those moments, especially, and that's also why it's important to have women in the medical field. That's right.

Of all different ethnicities, because then you can work with someone who makes you feel more comfortable. I feel more comfortable working with women. Yeah. So that's why sometimes when I hear that some women or anyone who has to see a gynecologist has a male one, I'm always kind of like, yeah no yeah no it's different yeah yeah it's different yeah I feel more comfortable I was like I don't even feel comfortable talking to a strange man let alone getting in stirrups in front of one that's I ain't doing that yeah but that's good I'm glad your birthing experience was so yeah positive yeah yeah that's so wonderful very um lucky that it was that way how was the aftercare was that part was that experience I know you talk about that in your special too is that experience um it was new uh

what do I talk about in my special in my special my special like I guess I talk about the anxiety growing as my love grows for this baby and I'm being fucking insane. And then I want to like put her back into my pussy. Like sometimes I'm like, you want to just go back the fuck in and like cook a little longer. Let's do it again. I miss being one. But my after experience was good. I just took it slow and easy and I really planned for myself to have many, as many months as I could before like reentering work and taking great care of myself. I was in a diaper. I was like pissing myself, you know, for a while for like a couple weeks. My question for you was going to be, what was the silliest thing you noticed after?

No, you said no shocking or after. Shocking silly, hilarious. Yeah, okay, because when you said shocking, I was like, um. You're something not silly, not funny. It, because I was like, I'm excited to tell you this because it was shocking. I tried to work out this bit so many times. We were talking about the process of stand-up. And I really tried so many times to include the following bit in this.

hour but it just didn't work and I'm going to do it as um like a video as like an instagram real because also I was incorporating like pictures on a screen and I just didn't want to deal with that yeah the milk coming in was shocking a shocking hilarious only in retrospect yeah so fucking funny and absurd an absurd like nearly sci-fi with these tittyes too. Right. Nearly sci-fi level of comedy that audiences were confused. So it wasn't it and right.

And also it was like cartoon titties. It looked, I looked like Jessica Rabbit. And they were like, on your tiny frame is crazy. Yeah. And it was like, is this hot? And I was like, no. You know, like I just couldn't understand. I like would ask.

Like, is this sexual? You know, it was bizarre. Yeah. Like basketballs, cantaloupe. like nuts like two mixing bowls on your chest yes exactly and it was like so you know the systemically being removed from our own knowledge about our bodies and our own process of giving life how we got here yeah um I didn't know about milk coming in and and my in the middle of the night my um I like can't breathe and my heart is racing and I'm like I guess I'm having a

postpartum heart attack but just a typical American in post-prudome heart attack. Like, I'm like, this is definitely a thing that nobody talks about. Yeah. And then I have a, in the morning, I can't sleep. I have a huge migraine. And thank God, my best friend, Eden, came over and was able to explain to me and my husband. My husband's a scientist.

He's a PhD in biology. He's like, neither of us. Neither of us knew what the fuck was going on. My milk was coming in to my milk ducks in my tities. and at first it's like a more more solid thing before it becomes like thin drinkable milk and you have to like massage it out of your tities under hot water with like a washcloth yeah and before I knew that it was like literally caving my heart my orc it was like my chest was like being the the weight of these tities was crushing me crushing me drew by your only for your own

crushed by my only titty. You said et tu Brute. Yeah. And I was like, okay, well, that helps. And then, like, getting it out and, like, making the milk, I was like, well, that was crazy. I can't even imagine. Thank God for Eden, who had already had had a baby and is a medical professional and a woman. She was able to walk you through it.

Yeah. Thank God. Yes. If my best friend was like that, too, I'd be like, get your ass over here and explain this to me. I know. I know it was, like, just luck. but I like really would have um maybe had a had an issue yeah an actual heart attack from fear that's what I'm talking about but then I was like should I not say it because of I don't know what like

I don't know but um yeah that was the most shocking thing that I actually had to cut from this hour I can't even imagine yeah especially having like especially when they balloon like that too they just get enormous it's like it's like kind of like obvious what's happening but it's also like you just don't realize like the function and how to get it out well yeah and the feeling probably doesn't feel like what you would imagine however you could try to imagine it sheer panic sheer panic yeah she was the feeling yeah she was sheer panic yeah immediately how was breastfeeding for you i know it's very mixed across the board yes it can be like super traumatic super upsetting um you know again i'm an optimistic person it was fucking lit yeah it was fucking out that's good i'm glad

to hear it incredible i was like holy shit you know my whole as i say in my special my like when my baby was laid on my chest i said those three magic words to her holy fucking shit that was my that's been my experience I'm just like holy fucking shit there's milk coming on my tities and you're eating it that's crazy dude and it's like helping you not get sick like this is fucking cool I saw a TikTok recently where a girl was talking about she's a like a birthing coach like a doula and stuff like that but she was saying the the number one thing she always gets calls about is the smell like she was like and I don't mean like from the afterbirth because like that smells gnarly too

But she's like, but your body just emits these odors that are foreign to you. And she was like, like, and I get mom, new moms calling me all the time being like, is something fucking wrong with me? Wow. And I talked to someone recently I forget who's mom. And she was telling me, yeah, dude, my pits were nuts. Oh, it was my hair extension girl. hysterical? Yeah, I love her.

She's a new mom. Yeah, but she was telling me like, she goes, my pits, like I would put on deodorant and be like, this thing's broken. Like, I need another one. Wow. And she was like, but then you find out. it's because your baby needs to send you. So it's to help your baby find you, essentially. You're just like a bear.

You're just like a dog. I know. It's just the most, it feels so animalistic, but it's also so natural. Yes. It's very natural. We like,

we try to separate ourselves from the animal kingdom so hard. And it's like, we're pretty much mostly animals. Yeah. You like, can like giggle. Yeah. You know what I mean?

Like dogs don't exactly giggle. That have cognitive thought. Yeah. We like dance. We giggle. Um, I mean, dolphins fuck for pleasure.

It's like, we're not even alone in this. We're not even unique in that sense. our evil may be unique but other than that um you know so um yeah i don't really remember the smell of after birth being gross i definitely remember like sweating my balls off yeah i think she's just like hormones just like your hormones change like it's like and it's cool purely for your babies to find you like yeah your baby's like in her little pits and she's like new new hair do you like new baby smell a lot of people love baby smell like their heads and their breath yeah

that too yeah i i love it i love new baby everything it's like scary i don't really yearn to hold other people's new new newborn babies i find it a little scary yeah unless i'm like seated with a pillow like it's it's nerve-wracking yeah with your own baby and like also like um my best friend lives two doors down from me and our babies are best friends oh i love that we went to hebra school together and camp together and she was um her son is a few months uh younger than my daughter um so when we brought my baby home we were all she was really pregnant and we were all like ah ha ha oh like very nervous it's like a new new that's so exciting though you're doing the journey together how fucking cool yeah i'm very lucky i love that my uh my manager and his fiancee they just had a baby too their first time parents

and when i got to meet their baby who's i call my name nephew that white baby is my nephew for sure he is but when I met him I met him a few months ago in person for the first time and I was told me he is so fucking cute like just the most adorable baby but he was looking at me real like like you know what I mean like he was just staring at me so intensely before he started crying and I was like they're like I'm sorry he's I don't know why he's looking like that because he was like very like pensive looking at me and I was telling up because I was the first one to hold him because like my feet. Beyonce was there, my sister, my cousin.

And I was like, am I the first brown person this baby has met? And then they were like, I think so. He's like, not that old. He's like, he's like six or seven months. I said, that's okay. I only ask because, believe it or not, this is not the first one this has happened to me. I have held a white baby before. That was very afraid of me.

He was like, who you? Yeah, he was just like, you don't look like the other ones I've seen. Yeah. And he's just curious. I tell him, don't worry. He'll send me. He'll know I'm, I'll hold it like a dog. Just don't know my pet.

I'm not doing. Yeah, just get in there. I promise. You just need a little more time with them. He'll be obsessed. But now, now he likes me. Now he loves me. Oh, please. I make it my mission for all babies to love me. Love it. Yeah. And then I buy them fun stuff. I feed them things. Their parents don't give them. And then I send them home. It's similar to an online following. Right. You know?

Absolutely. Sort of like loving them, making them like you, giving them what they can't get elsewhere. And then being like, good night. Okay. Goodbye. Yeah. and go back home to your mom and dad yeah okay so i'll do one tic-tok if that's cool with you do whatever the puck you want but we are talking about like awful men online who like believe everything having to do with raising children having children is all solely falls on the on the mother which is uh not

surprising but it is what it is right this first video in this video a clip from a man on a podcast says if you're a dude you need to make money if you're a female you need to nurture and support is it a father's job to come home and make sure the kids are fed well no and that's it's that's the end of the clip uh thoughts on that advice well first i want to um say that you have a strength in being able to confront this kind of vitriol oh thank you and stomach it in a way that I don't have the, that's not part of my skill set. Yeah. So I want to commend you on having that.

The time. The time and yeah, there's a brute force you need to do to confront that. Absolutely. Second of all, I, you know, I don't know. I think, I don't know. I'm not mad. I'm like, you know, this person's worldview is limited. they haven't been exposed to different kinds of family setups it sounds like yeah

and um you know i also i'm like i i'm finding compassion but not like forcing it but like i'm feeling compassion yeah and it's like i have compassion for uh us poor little humans who are knowing and seeing more than we're really really meant to and having trouble making sense of it. Right. So it sounds to me like someone who's having trouble making sense of the world that is naturally unfolding and doesn't have the resources. That's not 1950s madmen the show.

Yeah. And it's rude and annoying and like not cool. And I, and it's so boring. It's boring. And I'm like, I don't want to inter, you know, this is not somebody I want to hang out with. Exactly. Which is what is the loss for them that they're actually feeling. T. Yeah, that's very true.

I'm sad for this. And like also somebody just said manosphere yesterday. I was like, the what? And then I was like, oh yeah. And it's just like, you know, I don't, I mean, again, I'm optimistic, but I just don't think, I think that's a minority of people who identify as men. No, you're actually so right. That's actually very true. I've talked about that online because sometimes people will ask me things like, are you just like this all the time? Like, do you just act like this all the time? like do you just act like this all the time and I always am shocked to get that question because I immediately say no because I don't hang out with people I fucking hate right I've never seen people like that like to that extent have I meant misogynist in my life of course I fucking have um because I'm I wasn't born literally yesterday so I obviously I've experienced that in the wild but I don't spend a lot of time with people like that so I don't they're struggling with that loss yeah and they're

watching you even if they're doing like hate bullshit it's like But you're like watching me. Yeah, it's very, it's like you're. Exactly. You're here, aren't you? It's very similar to like when people, when I'm like, if you're a bigoted person, I don't want you to follow me, right? And they're like, we can't be friends.

I don't know why you want to be my friend. I don't want to be yours. Like that's where I'm like, I see like, I don't want that. But for some, it's like what you said, they want that for whatever reason. And I really think that if people like that who follow you. who really agree with you. Think you're beautiful. Think you're funny and want to spend time with you.

But say hateful shit, I'm pretty sure they don't have access. Their basic needs are not being met. Totally. And they're taking it out on an easy target being that the script says that young women are worthless. Yeah. But it's like I think it's just that their basic needs aren't being met. Yeah. And I really blame it on the growing wealth gap.

Yeah. The system. I really blame it on the system, which is getting worse. Yeah. the rich are getting richer, the poor getting poorer. Yeah. It's, um, I have this bit in my special. I talk about my husband is like a good guy.

He's such a fucking good guy. PhD, can't buy a shirt alone. Unable to purchase a top alone. And if he watches this, which he doesn't consider the content. So no event. Well, add it to the list then. To the list of busy parents. Don't take it personally.

But like, I have to say the last time he, he bought some clothing. I was like waiting outside with our napping child. So like I consider that support. You know what I mean? I wasn't in there like buttoning it up for me. But yeah, there's like I have this bit about guys versus men. Like guys help you move men stand in your way getting a job. You know, guys wear gray sweatpants to get groceries.

Yeah. Men wear jeans to the gym. And I'm talking about like guys as like good guys who are like, yeah, I'll get down it. Yeah. Versus men as an institution, you know? Tea, yeah. That's so real. like most men are just like

I think at least they're guys and then a lot of them are good guys but then the men are like wah wow wow wah okay you don't feel heard you're represented in every fucking commercial TV show movie

you're not only the hero but you're the underdog you're getting girls who are way hotter than you that you've never get in real life without the money like you as a like not money get the fuck You know, it's just like, it's very like, oh, oh, yet another reason I got to think about you added to my growing tab. Well, that's right.

And it's like it's forced whether it's like forced through sexual force or simply airspace. Get out of my fucking brain girl. I don't need you in my fucking head. And that's why I'm like a happy person. Because I just don't even, I'm just like, I don't like I don't even consider it real. The manosphere is not real to me. You know, it's, um, but I also feel compassion where I'm like, man, people are confused. and are not having their basic needs met and being tricked.

Yeah, into fighting a different enemy. It's like they're distracting you from the real enemy kind of thing. Right, right. That's actually so, it's so funny you say that because literally yesterday, I was talking to my fiancee about that because I forget what we were talking about, but it was something along the lines of like when he gets up, like let's say we're hanging out in mixed company, right? And he gets up.

What the fuck does that mean? What's the 80s? What's mixed company to you? Bigs company to me is like, it's like Bessie's family. It's like very random assortment of people. I thought you. I didn't know if you meant politically mixed, culturally mixed. No, I meant like just.

Just like different levels. Yeah, different levels. Yeah, exactly. Like a party setting. That's like something like a Republican says when like a progressive person comes over. I think mixed. Yeah. We're going to be among mixed company.

If I was, if I was white and I said that, I would believe you. I was like, what are you're talking about? You're saying like close. Yeah. Just like other adults, everyone's kind of hanging out. And he gets. Mix levels of. exactly and he gets up to get something and he asks like hey do you want to drink while i'm up right like

something simple like that and i go yeah that would be great and he brings me or i don't he doesn't even ask me he just brings me something i love him stuff like that he my my fiance is saying i think that's what makes a man like what these men want to be perceived that's right it's little shit like that it's thoughtfulness like mindfulness that's pleasing a woman exactly it's like being kind is is like where it's at right and i think that fits in your are guys versus men debate. Right. When they want to talk about what women need,

they almost always talk about protect, like physically protecting women. Like they would kill someone to which I'm like, right. I've seen other strange men be around me when I'm getting objectified and do nothing. Believe it or not, I don't fucking believe you. That's you won't protect shit.

You don't even do that. That's right. You bang on about protection and you can't even do that, right? Because they think that taking sex makes them real. Exactly. Rather than giving a woman an orgasm. Exactly. You know?

And then talking. talking over a woman rather than like hearing her and exactly you don't even have to agree but just like let's have a fucking conversation i don't want to just listen to your dumb shit like i want to talk back and forth like two people you know yeah like so yeah so guys versus men for me is like good guys versus like man as an institution but yes a real man yeah totally different thing and like i thought the other thing i thought of was like when for example if i'm not home and i'm like working and my sister needs things moved like my fiance will just go to the house and move it for her like he's like well I can do delish yeah like or like my dad and my fiance it was funny because my cousin and his husband

they got these like their furniture things from dipteak I don't know how the fuck they were just like they said we could have them they're free and you guys didn't have one too if you help us move did teach said we could have these girl don't even get me started that's a whole other story that we don't have time for did you know dipteeke as mr diptee you know him anthropomorphized mr dillelius okay okay yeah like three question marks exactly they basically were like if you come with us they're gonna they're changing out the store they said we could have the furniture whatever oh i love and so that is a scheme right exactly and my my fiance are like the biggest dudes ever and they're they sound huge yeah they're huge and they can pick things

up very easily when i tell you this furniture atlas stone bitch i don't that thing was three thousand pounds. Wow. Wow. And like there's eight of us. Like incredible. Yeah, there's eight of us. Half of us are women, right? Identify as women. And then my little brother who's, he's strong, but not as strong as them. He's like, I'm the baby. Yeah. And then my, my cousin and his husband, who like, they were like, well, like, well, we're there. And at one point, it was just my dad and my fiance carrying everything. And they were like, it's actually faster if you guys just get out of the way. It's actually faster if you just open the door. I talk about this in my special where I'm like, it's so uneven for like the first two years it's so um mother focused in opposite sex couples yeah but dads can carry ship right and you just load them up like a mountain dog you know a rescue mountain dog and they're like

and you're like good daddy I know that's why that's why I said that's the type of shit to me that makes a man 100% and I'm like go man yeah go you fucking male bodied individual I'll cheer you on all I want at that way I love it I love it carry my shit carry me I love it I love it I love that but your dad and fiance. Your fiance sounds wonderful. He is. He's fantastic. I'm thrilled for you. He's really. Oh, gorgeous. One of my first video, well, the first video I ever made that went viral, I was talking about him. But I was saying how for Valentine's Day, he bought me six months worth of nail appointments with my now private nail tech. Because I, well, I had never said I wanted that, but he. Bitch, I'm dying. Yeah, he did all the research on his own. Bitch, I'm dying. Yeah. Like this. incredible that is the girliest fucking gift right and it was like obsessed and it was like obsessed

he took pictures of my nails like he zoomed it on pictures of my nails and like pictures of me and was showing them dying and he was like she likes this shape she likes these kinds of designs his name his name's peely you know what i think also is the mark of a real man is a man who can genuinely laugh with a woman tea there are a lot of men who are like please i'm confident i'm confident i'm confident about my fucking comedy i'm a funny fucking bitch amen and i know when i'm being fucking funny and there are men who are like like they're fighting not even fighting not not even fighting they're confused they're funny they do think it's

funny but they don't you know if if they receive it then that's a feminine role laughing laughter fully it is so feminine to laugh to receive like and i and i'm it's not even like Like, you know, it's, it's, but when men who can, like, crack up, that is like, oh my God. That's actually so true. My husband fucking rocks, dude. I love that. We are like, we're like, lately. And like, you know, the silent fucking shoulder left?

Like, as we've been together for 12 and a half years. And like eight, how long have you guys been together? Uh, eight years. Going on eight years. Yeah. God bless you. Yeah. So sweet.

And we've known each other like over 15 years. I'm just deceased. I'm thrilled. God bless my little baby YouTubers. I'm obsessed with you and I'm proud of you. And God bless you, okay? Thank you. Oh, Pilly.

I love him. Love him. So you've known each other for a long time. And like as like as the sort of layers of time stack on top of you and you're just like surrendering to them. Like David and I lately, we have just been doing. My grandma Harriet used to have giggle fits and then it got passed on to my dad. And to me sometimes like uncontrollable where I'm like. I don't know what's going to happen after like you might have to wheel me out of here.

But like Grandma Harriet like giggle fits my husband and I just like laughing silently and like shaking. And it's just like that is a real fucking man. That's so true. I love it. I love him. That's so true. I want to to that same point. I know I have to wrap soon.

To that same point though, I went to a Rams game this past weekend. They asked me to come and I was like sports. Yeah. So I took my fiancee and we took our friends who are a couple too and they love the Rams. And so we went, had a blast. Nope. But they put me on. the Jumbotron and the first time they did it they told me to dance and so I did and I was dancing

my ass off because they told me to and then they thought it was funny so they kept coming back to me to film me and then the last time they filmed me by myself and they just told me to dance as hard as I could like however I wanted. Love it. So I was dancing my ass off and the clip that they took because so many people recorded it and the Rams ended up putting it on their Instagram but it's a clip of me dancing my ass off and my fiance's laughing his ass off and when I say I was like when I tell you I got that bitch giggling I mean that shit I love it I laughed him right out of those pants you know I mean yes I do it's like my main um my that's my favorite when I really get him good I always laugh like I'm like I got I get him so

good sometimes I get him really good yeah yeah and then sometimes he gets me and then we laugh together it's the best oh my god I'm so happy lately we've been yeah just those fucking shoulder giggles oh my god that's my main in the pants you know what i mean it's like what i got you and me both girl yeah you and me both oh like to that last one for real this time when i was first dating my my man this was before we were official and before we said i love you so it's probably like a couple months in precarious i was hanging out with him and his friends at the time like it was like these dudes at the time and they're not friends anymore because they suck but like at the time they didn't so we were all

hanging out and my man likes to do this thing where he does word association so if you say some like something that reminds him of something else he'll just say it out loud love and he finds it funny every time my family and i have done that forever and for some reason we were like oh love that right like we both do it and someone said the word leash in the conversation and then he goes leash maniasis out loud right i don't know what that means your husband might because he's The scientist. Yeah. Well, see, get this.

I do know what Leashmaniasis is. How? I don't know. But at the table, this is, again, two months in. He goes, Leishmaniasis. And I go, did you say Leashmaniasis? And he goes, do you know what that is? I go, yeah, it's a flesh eating disease you get from a spider.

And then he goes, I knew I liked you. And I said, yeah, laughed out of those pants, bitch. Because he was laughing and he was like, I knew you were the one. I'm thrilled. I'm fucking thrilled. Big nerd alert. Yeah. Let me know if you're nerd husband.
