This week we're bringing you a classic episode with comedian,
actress, director, and producer, Alana Glazer.
This one aired back on May 13th, 2020, in the height of the pandemic, quarantine, and all that crazy.
Alana Glazer kept the mood light.
We had a fun casual conversation about life and Corona times, her show Broad City and New York City itself.
Even though the world was very different when we take this, interviews like this shaped how we approach QLS ever since.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is Quarantine Quest, broadcasting live from the Cabotts, upstate New York, welcoming you to
another Questlove Supreme Live edition.
We got a good show.
This is Fonticelo.

He was waiting to get that point to line off.
You bad,

Anyway, just wanted to say that our special guest today,
the brilliant former,
formerly known half of the dynamic broad city duo,
not to mention fresh off of her Amazon,
comedy special, The Planet is Burning, which is weird because it might not be.
It actually is.
We want to welcome Alana Glazer to QLS Live edition.
Hey y'all.
Thank you for having me.
Nice meeting y'all.
Like our arms are moving, but no one is out here, no party.
Yeah.
I went to the, Steve, I went to the city for the first time yesterday to go to my apartment.
And it was 7 o'clock.
And so I participated in the noise making.
The clapping for the people,
for the service workers and everything.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, the clap.
The clap is sick.
It's actually, I like to set myself up with like chips for this.
I hope that's.
Oh, we hear you.
Yeah, I love you do.
I tell you'd be like, oh, you like creamer backed off it when I like,
yeah, because I was like.
Not at all.
We're snacking as well.
I was wondering what the flavor was.
I have a question.
Who of us is quarantining with more than three people?
What's a people?
Wait, Bill, how many people are you quarantining with?
Me? One?
Yes.
You're alone?
I'm with my girlfriend.
Oh, you're not even living with a freaking freck?
No, freaking freck are with their mother, head freck.
Oh, oh.
I don't mean like that.
She's great.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You can't take that back, bro.
Oh.
What did she do to you, dude?
I hope she's watching nothing.
She's fantastic.
I like that when you're doing this over munchies.
They're like, hmm, pickle chip.
I know, like, I'm like, also, I don't know why I assumed snacks were.
No, they are.
No, they are totally, no.
Let's be getting snacks.
Bill's not here.
I allow snacking.
Okay.
I'm going to eat my van.
My damn cool chicken tarner right here.
Let's go.
Speaking of snacks, the one you've got to get up on is these right here,
these Trader Joe's chips right here.
Oh,
chip.
Crack.
Crack cocaine.
What?
Tracoges are these still pickle chips.
I did not know that Trader Joe's was like that, yo.
You know, Trader Joe has a rusted potato kettle, kettle,
a potato chip?
I've had it.
It's amazing.
Right before.
I don't buy them.
I don't buy them.
was? It's roughed potato.
Kettle. It tastes like a kettle.
We got it.
Oh, you know everything is better with its kettle.
You guys know.
Sorry, I'm like, I guess like it's like hard.
Social Graces.
You guys know everything but the bagel from Trader Joe's?
Oh, I haven't used it yet.
I got the imamini, not the umami.
It's like three new seasonings at Trader Joe.
Oh, really?
I do it.
I just, I know the everything bagel one and I do, I just lick my hand, put a little.
Is it really?
Everything hands.
It is so fucking good.
I saw an empty bottle on the sidewalk
the other day and I was like,
if that weren't empty,
I like would potentially still like,
like sniff it to just
bottle that.
It's come to that.
It is incredible.
It's a game changer.
Everything about the bail.
I love it.
I'm just going to say Trader Joe's,
it really is the best thing ever
outside of them not being located in any hood
in any city.
But outside of that,
they are amazing.
Yeah.
Well, okay,
I was asking the,
the number count of people sharing space of quarantining.
Cause now I know, so when I was young, when I was younger,
when I was younger, my dad was notorious for,
he was one of the dads that would mark the juice bottle with the Sharpie.
And in other words, don't drink my juice like this is my shit.
Don't touch it.
Oh, how many people with you?
Oh, we've seen it on the video.
Are you sure?
What?
You're eating a sandwich?
Depending on what night.
I'm sorry.
Yes, it's chicken tarner.
I was saying,
wait, are we eating in protest the bill, not doing protested.
No, I'm eating because Alana eating.
Yeah, thank you.
So Alana's given us permission to snack.
Wait, I mean, I have a question.
Would your dad write dad or his first name?
No, he would just mark the apple juice bottle where it was last,
where he last left it.
Oh, wow.
He was super petty.
He was super petty.
Right.
And then.
That's an assumed it's dads.
This is like the level of checking on the kids.
You just had issues.
We had issues about the juice level.
Like in a black, in a black household,
the juice,
juice is like,
that's,
that's,
you know,
that's currency.
Like,
I can have all the water I want.
As long as I feel the water bottle back.
up, you know, by the time it gets to the bottom.
But you should have to go to the stove.
You can't house juice.
I don't think I was housing juice.
And he would also house his intimate pecan pie.
You know, the intimate pecan cakes.
Yeah.
So, yeah, he was petty with that.
But I'm only asking.
So fucking good.
Now that I'm sharing space and I'm like looking forward to like my snack.
And then somebody then got you.
I might be a little petty myself.
What was it a minute?
What was it? Please tell me.
What was the snack?
Please.
No, I mean, you know, it's, it's, it's just like, it's, it's, it's community here.
So I'm trying to be, wait, if you notice, I'm like, look in this direction.
Did you right there?
Hey, you ain't locked in a, you ain't locked in a coat.
Oh, you have.
I just watched Rico, dude.
In my head, that's ten.
people to his left watching right now.
Just what the fuck I'm talking about.
You know what?
We're eight deep.
We're eight deep.
Wow.
And no, but I mean, it's a large space too.
So.
But I'm most, no, I'm in a, I guess.
That's a lot of trust.
That's a lot of trust.
Well, I mean, the thing is is that one, like,
we're the only people here.
And so, you know, I can go outside, you know,
visit the Apple Orchard.
you know, whatever.
And I'm in someone's guest house.
So, I mean, but wait,
why are you acting like networking isn't a part of life?
Networking.
This time of year,
Amir.
Networking is a part of life.
Network.
Like in your line of business, yes.
You've been a professional.
Don't act like you're just some intern off the street.
Like, you connect with people and you.
Hang out at their words.
So when shit hits the fan,
Oh, I got you.
I got you.
Oh, yeah.
You know what, Amir, that's networking on a different level, though,
like having infinite ability to stay at an estate orchard.
No, that's, no, that's not.
That's amazing.
No, it's not, you don't, I don't think you have to be in a privileged position to get those favors.
I just said you're a really good person.
No, I'm not.
He doesn't know what I'm being serious.
I don't, guys.
None of us do.
Send me apples, Amir.
Yeah.
I need a peck.
Are you making apples sauce like,
baby boom.
Oh my God, I just watched that shit.
Yes.
That was her business.
She brought back to the big city.
Yes.
There's enough eggs and enough apples sauce.
Do you feel like I have a couple friends upstate.
Do you feel like extra isolated in your quarantine?
Are you like getting the fuck away?
No, I can't wait.
Like this.
All right.
So I drove up to come back.
I left.
I left my apartment like a four in the morning driving back.
And normally, I would say the first time I came up to Westchester, like, I was making fun of people because my whole join was like, I can't go nowhere where there's not a 24-hour pharmacy nearby or just something.
Yeah.
And I would make fun of all our upstate property.
I don't know, no, no.
I'm like, whatever.
But no, when I drove here today, I was relieved to get here.
Like, I think I'm done with cramp living and just, I mean, the city is.
Yeah, I read an article.
Someone made a rural article the other day.
They were talking about how post-COVID they think that New York is going to be a much younger city.
Oh.
Because older, you know, cat, like, just what you're saying.
Like, they're not going with that.
Everyone's leaving.
Like, in my apartment building right now, 70% of all the residents have left.
Good?
Yeah, that remains in the air.
And, you know, with my join, my lease coming up, I might be joining them.
Like, I've already looked at like four cribs up here already.
Upstate or a mere, we'll be neighbors.
And that's ridiculous.
I love that.
Wait, you're up here now?
I live in Westchester too, but not, I mean, Westchester's a larger.
Can you name your borough, rep your borough?
What part?
voting on Hudson, which sounds like
It's not.
I got my eyes on Brewster.
Brewster's like, that's the Williamsburg.
I'm hearing that's the Williamsburg of Westchester.
Beacon.
That's another place that I could see that.
Alana, where are you?
I'm in Brooklyn, but I'm also like,
I'm too old to do this.
I learned.
And I'm like, 33.
And I'm like, oh, 33.
That's when Jesus returned.
That's when I want to left.
I'm too fucking.
And, you know, I'm comfortable here.
My partner and I are here and we're like,
we've just been driving up to Bear Mountain every fucking weekend.
And we're like, oh, we're like, just, it's just like,
I got to get the fuck out of here.
Like, it just is part of me is like, it's like sweet here and everybody's like,
hey, hi.
There's just like tenderness, this like New York City tenderness.
But yeah, I think like it's, I feel like.
like 30 plus, 35 plus is just changing the way we thought we were going to.
I need space.
I need air.
You know,
over 35-year-olds leave Brooklyn, that's going to be like, oh.
Like that's like the scope of everything.
It's like sleepaway camp.
I'm like, oh, yeah, New York is like sleepaway camp.
And I'm, I'm exhausted like the end of the summer.
Well, Anna, a lot of people don't know about sleepaway camp.
I assume that you went to sleepaway camp.
I didn't.
I was a little nerd who would like do, you know, like day camp.
And also I did this like, I did like teen tours one summer or two.
But I was like went home on the weekends to be close to my parents.
What's a teen tour?
It's like you go to like, we went to like Virginia Beach and like Maine.
You take like, you know, trips or whatever.
But it's not like, I don't know.
like.
Like bus trips, but like certain groups.
Exactly. Exactly.
We did that.
Yeah.
We did that.
Yeah.
So I did that.
Sleepaway camp was like for kids who were ready to start like sexually experimenting.
And I was like, I'm going to just fail at that for a while first.
Like, you know, sleepway camp people fog.
And did you not see that horror movie from the 80s?
No, what?
I see that.
I remember seeing it, but I don't think I was.
I want to say I've seen it because I'll admit what my age was.
So this was, so sleep away camp was a camp.
designed for teens that were beginning to be sexually active or they're
talking to keep on hold on a second no I was like Steve Steve want to add in
Steve rarely interjected I went to summer sleepaway camp for nine summers I didn't
get paid once okay I don't know what the heck she's talking about okay I'm about
about your life I know that I paid for at least 10 people who's two sleepaway camps though
wait bill said he got he got his though right no no I never got laid at sleepway camp
I later went back and was a counselor at a sleepway camp where everybody fucked all the time.
And that is, I was going to say, please don't finish that story.
Yo, did y'all see the preview for the new show on Bravo?
That's all about like adult, like sleepaway camps.
Have y'all seen this?
This is like a thing.
No.
Oh, my God.
It looks so fun.
So there are like these places out in the country where like, why.
Excuse me.
Yeah.
Adult people.
Wait, Alana, weren't you at the wedding with me when we did that?
David Crosses and Amber Tamlin, weren't you there?
No, no, it's not.
Okay, they did what you're describing like, good.
I'm sorry for interjection.
No, no, no, but they do.
So it's just grown-ups doing like all of the kind of grown-up version of the kid games.
And you stay there for like a week or so or whatever.
And it just a buck wild.
I just, it looks so fun.
All right.
So when David and Amber got married, they did it like a sleepaway camp.
Only problem was it was October.
So it was freezing.
It was freezing.
But like that weekend, they did.
did you did 12 year old shit like the potato sack race and the zip line thing and all that stuff
but poor weekend.
Cool white people shit.
You know.
I said cool white people shit, Bill.
Tadasacks are cool white people shit.
No, like summer camps.
Like as we, as you know, as you see who's asking the questions about sleepaway camp,
we don't really know because it's not something that we did.
So you're talking about like, the other camp and all that stuff.
camp like potato sack existential freedom fun or whatever i said potato sack race as in i was trying to
think of like something that's campy for a 12 year old but uh you know i mean there was i don't know
there has to be like i went to a wedding that was like that these two dudes who got married and it was
a sleepway camp like that for like a long weekend um but i'm just like not an activities person
i'm like let's just like smoke up the edge of the lake and like people can hook up and whatever but like
Why do I have to like hold on a rope?
You know what I mean?
Like in swing or whatever.
So we would smoke and then we roast like marshmallows a lot?
Yeah, that's my shit.
I'm shocked.
I'm shocked that you're slackery.
I would have figured that you were like all for the adventure.
No, it's more like, talk about you.
You know what I mean?
It's like it's not like the physical, you know.
I'm with you.
Okay, so no zip line.
It's this.
I feel you.
It's this.
I don't know.
With, with my idea of Corona body around the corner.
I'm down a light.
Dude, it's getting scary.
How far are you away from your corona body?
How many?
Talk about it.
Dog, it's getting scary, dude.
This is Dave 40.
This day 39.
I think I've taken off like 21 pounds.
I love it.
I love it.
But this time I'm not trying,
which is scaring the shit out of me.
So.
It's probably a combination of stress.
I was like, day 46, day 47.
We were there.
You know, like I'm wearing D-Nice gear now.
Like, normally I have to wear my, wear my, like, make my own clothes and all that stuff.
Is it more about food or exercise?
I think it's 80% food, 20% exercise.
Right now, okay.
So the greatest thing I've discovered,
besides Trader Joe's,
there's a woman
who is starting to company.
I've been begging for
carbless bread
for the longest.
Carbless bread.
Yeah, he's been talking about this.
The gods have heard my cry.
Matter of fact, hang one second.
Is she there? She's there.
What's that?
So this is carbless cornbread.
I'm like, I'm like indulging
in bread like normally i'm like
you know you're like out of the fucking house so much that you
i have like a system of how i like operate or whatever
like a crazy person bringing like carrying like a disgusting smoothie
container for 12 hours after i step you know what i mean it's like

clipper taylor the fourth

There's two golden rules that any man should live by.
Rule one, never mess with a country girl.
You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes.
And rule two, never mess with her friends either.
We always say that trust your girlfriends.
I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends,
Oh my God, this is the same man.
A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist.
I felt like I got hit by a truck.
I thought, how could this happen to me?
The cops didn't seem to care.
So they take matters into their own hands.
I said, oh, hell no.
I vowed.
I will be his last target.
He's going to get what he deserves.
Listen to the girlfriends.
Trust me, babe.
On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
What's up, everyone?
I'm Ego Vodem.
My next guest, you know from Step Brothers Anchorman,
Saturday Night Live,
and the Big Money Players Network.
It's Will Farrell.
Woo-woo, woo, woo, woo, woo.
My dad gave me the best advice ever.
I went and had lunch with him one day, and I was like, and dad, I think I want to really give this a shot.
I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings.
I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up-and-coming talent.
He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet.
Yeah.
He goes, but there's so much luck involved.
And he's like, just give it a shot.
He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit.
If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration.
It would not be on a calendar of, you know, the cat.
Just hang in there.
Yeah, it would not be.
Right, it wouldn't be that.
There's a lot of luck.
Listen to Thanks Dad on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts.
How long is it before you?
you realize what you've woken up into, i.e. the temptation to not look at the news of the phone
to see, like, is this the day that we have a cure? Is this the, you know? I have been like totally
avoiding the news almost completely. If I do listen, it's like democracy now. You know,
democracy now. I'll listen to that maybe once a week, once or twice a week. But I'm just like,
the New York Times is like, oh, Corona charts. We have another chart. It's like, they're just like loving.
this shit. You know what I mean? It's like it's not like new information or whatever. I'm not
watching Cuomo. I'm like great. I'm so glad he's like being a human being or whatever, but I'm not
I can't even indulge in this change. So I'm like I try to do some sort of workout.
How do you prepare for this though as a writer? Like how do you feel about this into the industry?
Or yeah, your creativity. How do you? I had too much fucking shit going on and I'm like how did I at first
I was like so angry at myself.
I was like, why did I think I could live three lives in one body?
I was so harsh to myself where I was like,
you stupid, dude, you could live three.
I was like so mean about it.
And it's like, yeah, I don't know.
That's what the world was.
But now, and so I had like development stuff that I'm working on,
like my own writing and then, you know, raising up young writers projects.
I was doing stand-up.
and I was doing
like production services
this company that I'm building
Starpicks
and production services
it's like who the fuck knows
stand up I'm like I'm not gathering people
together till there's a vaccine
and now with writing I'm like
yeah bitch focus and just be
and I got enough going on that I'm like
and I'm not like
I'm like a busy body
so it's like I think I just like stay busy
and then the creativity kind of comes as it comes.
And I do take like at night, I'm like no emails on weekends, no emails, just like get the fuck away.
It's hard on like Sunday.
I'm sometimes like maybe I will catch up.
But it's like, no, just stay away.
That work is there all the fucking time.
You know, it's like available there.
Let me ask.
Yeah.
What do you?
Because even now like I'll stay busy.
But I still find myself like avoiding.
certain things that I should be doing?
Like, what do you, creative-wise, what do you keep putting off?
You mean like your screenplay type of thing?
Exactly.
You know, I have this thing where it's like, I have this essay I want to write about how
COVID is not the great equalizer.
That I just can't write.
People are like, oh, equal, equal.
It's like, no, COVID's exposing how poor people are poor and rich people are rich.
It's not the equalizer.
It's the like system revealer.
I've just been wanting to write this essay and I'm like,
I don't know myself as an essay writer yet.
But scripts,
I'm like really sort of and like outlines and shit and pitches are like coming to me.
But this essay writing vibe,
I'm just like,
I guess because I don't read essays and I like barely read.
Has there has been any thought or temptation
to resurrect half?
a project with abs via Zoom.
Because the thing is, is that even when I watched,
when I watched the show,
a lot of your extras were you two communicating
via Skype or whatever the technology was in 2011, 2012.
Right.
So it's almost like a broad city was created for,
Zoom culture years before now, we live by Zoom.
I wasn't doing this
four weeks ago.
I'm a big FaceTimeer.
You know, I love to FaceTime.
So I'm glad that I was on that tip before it was forced upon me.
But like Abby and I actually have shit going.
So I'm like, we're already doing the things.
We have, we're like, oh my God, thank you, Jesus,
that we have had an animated pilot going.
that we're like working on that
and we have
a couple
of scripted like live action stuff that we've been
just like raising and raising
and raising and raising.
You know, do you least warn
before the thing that I don't like about where we live
now is
the amount of people that
FaceTime you without warning you that they're
facetimes you?
Aggressive. I'm not you said.
No, no. They're treating like the FaceTime
like it's the new
Like it's a phone call.
Because we're all dusty.
We're all dusty.
Yeah, I'm like, you, I don't even call someone.
I always pretext.
I need a text first.
Yeah, even a phone call.
I'm just like phone call, but is it the 90s?
Like it's just too real, it's too, everybody's like in their own world and like on the phone.
I always pretext before any.
You can't, I mean like that's, that's aggressive.
FaceTime, straight up FaceTime.
And if I face time someone and they don't pick up, I apologize and say I know that was aggressive.
aggressive.
Not post Rona.
You can FaceTime.
Okay.
There's a six.
There's a six four six person
in that
like will FaceTime me five
times in a row.
And then I'll, you know,
when you do the,
you ever do the text thing where you just do the
sort of the
bunch of exclamation points with the
question aren't who is.
And they never identify.
I don't know who it is.
Yo, I got an idea for a song.
I know who.
All right.
So there's an industry veteran.
There's,
there's an industry veteran that I.
Oh my God.
I love that sigh.
I love that sigh.
Trivia.
It's like trivia.
I'm going to put this.
No,
he's an industry veteran.
And I believe that his goal is to get,
um,
a prominent singer.
piano playing father that was just recently on our show a song right now.
And wants me to be the bridge that leads to it.
But like,
I know who that is.
He's,
yeah, he just,
but he's one of those like,
call six time,
face-time me six-time in a row type people.
Like you're not,
I'm not leaning into this five times in a row,
face-time to help you bridge the success of,
you know what I mean?
But he's like 68.
All right.
He's 68, so you don't know.
Oh, this is somebody else.
Yo, Amir, you must be getting a lot of those
because somebody else hit me up.
Like, I got a song.
You think that?
Okay.
Yeah, it's happening a lot.
Do you guys find like you're living in your truth more
because shit is so blank where it's like, you know, like,
you're like, I'm not fucking answering this.
Or if you do, you're like, I'm not doing your father musician.
You know what I mean?
Whatever the fuck the thing is?
I'll, no, I'll go further with now.
I just have to bluntly tell them that, like,
I'm not in that space.
this whole, tell me what you think.
Oh, my God.
Or, you know, I'm doing this,
this COVID benefit thing.
I want you to, they're trying to do like a Philly.
We Are the World thing.
It's like, we'll hauling notes for you, way.
Cool.
Wait, that you should do.
No.
No, it's like, it's the weirdest lineup.
It's like, they're trying to organize this.
We are the Philly, like,
a Philly forever type thing.
I'm digging that part of it
I feel bad
at least that like black and light
truth part of it
no I mean I'm doing enough
fundraising I'm just you know I don't know
Are you watching a lot of like shows
On IG on Instagram
Not quite
Or YouTube or Twitch
I don't consume much normally
So I'm like just watching the fucking
Sopranos for the first time
Like I never saw.
Yeah.
And I'm like, can you believe the violence?
Speaking of with Zoe just says hello to you.
Oh, Zoe, grab it to me.
She said hello to you.
Zoe is a soprano's head.
She's obsessed.
Yeah, I've never watched sopranos either.
I don't watch this.
Fonte.
Wait, are you proud of this hill you just landed on?
I'm not really proud of it.
I just stand on it.
It's like, I don't care.
Alani, you're young...
Because we were talking about it,
because we were talking about
on Twitter the day,
and I was telling people,
like, yo,
Sopranos gets all the love,
but it was really Oz
that really did it
in terms of...
Now, Oz did do it.
In terms of, you know what I'm saying,
what we now know,
it's peak TV.
Oz was the game changer.
You know what I'm saying?
So by the time Sopranos came around,
I was like, I don't care about this shit.
I just saw, you know,
motherfuckers get killed in jail.
You know what?
You ain't even watch Game of Thrones.
You just not an HBO head.
You just not true.
I'm an HBO hair.
I did. You don't watch Game of Thrones?
I don't watch that shit.
I didn't watch that shit.
To tell you the truth.
I did watch, I did watch, uh, Boy Walk Empire.
I did, I did like Bullwark Empire.
Yeah, I'm watching that.
That shit is rough.
That shit is, it's rough.
You watch the wire too, right?
Hell yeah, come on.
Okay, so only the black, we gotta have black.
You gotta have Michael in it.
Mike, Michael has to be in it.
Because I watched, I watched six feet under.
That was very wide.
Okay, that was a fucking brilliant.
I just, I'm just not like fantasy or like, you know,
like Game of Thrones, it was just, you know, white people with black queens.
I just think.
Calisi.
It's like you mean police?
Is that who you mean?
I wasn't.
I wasn't into that.
And then Sopranos was just like I had seen every gangster movie.
So, you know, Goodfellas, casino.
Like, I just, by the time they got to.
Like, I just.
I'll say this much, Fonte.
Okay, the thing is, is that because Sopranos came so close to the edge of where the new technology comes in,
part of my fear is that if I rewatch the Sopranos, it won't be.
Well, no, it's just that, you know, it was before the age of the developed cell phones before the age of.
Yeah.
Like, there's an episode where, like, a new Starbucks.
opens across the street and they're trying to figure out
should they shake them down
only to realize that like, oh,
that's not a mom and pop operation.
Like we can't.
Yeah, that's a multi-corporate.
Right. And that they're the new dinosaurs.
It's so it's very
Pelly jacket.
No, and you know what?
It's interesting you say that because parts of the wire
are like that too. And I still think the wire is like
one of the greatest show. But technology,
some of that stuff, it didn't really hold up.
Well, yeah, because it could be fix.
now. Like if you can send a photo or if you could, but I, I still say that in my top three,
Sopranos is still number two. Is that HBO shows? Is that what you're doing? I, I write for,
I write for the wire superanos and breaking pad. That's my, my top three. Okay. Yeah, no,
I mean, you got to, you know, you got to, you got at least watch why James the Gandalfe.
But I'm just like, when the fuck do you in particular, Amir, watch it all night?
I'm like, aren't you so fucking busy and like creating shit all the time?
Like, when do people watch it?
It blows my mind.
Well, I think we got time.
No, no.
No, because I think the thing, I think people think like you have to stop and go to a
television.
Like this morning while I was making breakfast, I watched three episodes of Kim Pill.
Like, I'm trying to recap on that to see if it's still a whole thing.
But that's a show.
I think that's a show.
I think there needs to be a list on Netflix or streaming services, wherever,
of shows that you can watch while doing other shit.
Right.
You know what I mean?
That needs to be a subgenre of like shows you can tweet.
Love.
Because there's certain shows you got to watch.
You got to.
And then it's some shit you really got to watch.
You are right about that.
So I use Key & Pill.
I use Key & Pill as my occasional background on join,
but can look and still not miss a,
thing or you're not missing shit.
Like family guy. It's like a Tyler Perry movie. Like you can walk into a
Tyler Perry movie. You know the score.
You know exactly what's happening. You read the script
30. You know what it is.
Speaking of which, speaking of which, speaking of which,
you know, man, I got, I got caught in the web, man. I got caught in the
track. Black as fuck? Black is. No.
Dog, I watched one. All right. So you remember when they were
coming at Tyler for being the, his BET Plus show?
is uh show sisters
sisters.
Oh god.
All right.
So no, no, no.
Here's the thing.
It was curious.
No, this is literally curiosity killed the quest.
Because I came at,
because I Tarantinoed it and came in at backwards.
When,
when all black Twitter tried to cancel Tyler for not hiring a staff and he wrote everything
himself.
And I was like,
all right,
all right.
Let me see one episode.
And then next thing I knew, like,
I watched nine episodes.
It's almost like the Kardashians.
Like one of them shows where you'll never publicly see you watch that you're on.
But just one episode came on and the other episode came on.
And I knew it was bad because when like Gracie walk in the room,
then it was like electric blue status on Playboy when you like 12 years old,
like, got to go to last.
Got to last.
Oh no, baby.
I was watching History Channel.
So how did you have revert it all himself?
Yeah, and you can tell.
It's about a group of women, honey.
It's about a group of women.
And they're like her dachian level.
I, aye, aye, y, y'all.
P.S., I just wanted to add a show to your background show thing.
I heard that funny.
Yo, that is funny.
But I just kidding.
I'm like, it's funny.
It's funny.
Yes.
That was the last thing we were watching at Ph. Allen before, like,
Tariq was like, we all got to watch this.
and we saw an episode
and it's actually funny.
A little diggy from Philly.
You know, like I really haven't watched
a lot of TV or been a consumer.
Really for like, I don't know, just not my whatever.
You know what I used to watch when cable was still a thing?
Fucking QVC and HSN.
That's what I'd email and tweet through.
The most, like the deepest character studies,
the saddest, like just like such high functioning addiction issue.
Like, and the background information slips in is fucking a genius character study.
I'm trash.
I'm from Long Island.
I'm trash.
That's Chris.
Yeah, I don't know.
I think like my, everything was like building up to Broad City.
And then I'm like, well, I've seen Broad City.
Have you seen Broad City?
And, you know, it's like, I'm just, I don't know.
And now I'm like, okay, I can take stock of the industry a little bit.
And also, like, we're all on our fucking asses all the time.
So it's like, it's time.
But yeah.
I don't know.
That baffles me.
Every creative I know,
they never, like they create,
but they never, like,
indulge into the drug that they show.
And it's like, I didn't know as a kid.
You know, like, I used to watch, like,
yeah, a lot of TV as a kid.
But then once I was like off,
I was like, okay, time to like output.
A win is a win.
A win is a win.
I don't care what I'm saying.
Yep, that's me.
Clever Taylor the Fourth.
You might have seen the skits.
the reactions, my journey from basketball to college football, or my career in sports media.

There's two golden rules that any man should live by.
Rule one, never mess with a country girl.
You play stupid games, you get stupid prizes.
And rule two, never mess with her friends either.
We always say that trust your girlfriends.
I'm Anna Sinfield, and in this new season of the girlfriends,
Oh my God, this is the same man.
A group of women discover they've all dated the same prolific con artist.
I felt like I got hit by a truck.
I thought, how could this happen to me?
The cops didn't seem to care.
So they take matters into their own hands.
I said, oh, hell no.
I vowed I will be his last target.
He's going to get what he deserves.
Listen to the girlfriends.
Trust me, babe.
On the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
What's up, everyone?
I'm Ego Vodom.
My next guest, you know from Stepbrothers, Anchorman,
Saturday Night Live and the Big Money Players Network.
It's Will Farrell.
Woo.
Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!
My dad gave me the best advice ever.
I went and had lunch with him one day, and I was like,
and Dad, I think I want to really give this a shot.
I don't know what that means, but I just know the groundlings.
I'm working my way up through, and I know it's a place that come look for up-and-coming talent.
He said, if it was based solely on talent, I wouldn't worry about you, which is really sweet.
Yeah.
He goes, but there's so much luck involved.
And he's like, just give it a shot.
He goes, but if you ever reach a point where you're...
banging your head against the wall and it doesn't feel fun anymore, it's okay to quit.
If you saw it written down, it would not be an inspiration. It would not be on a calendar
of, you know, the cat, just hang in there. Yeah, it would not be. Right, it wouldn't be that.
There's a lot of luck. Yeah. Listen to thanks, Dad, on the Iheart radio app, Apple podcast, or wherever
you get your podcasts. I just thought there's some Brooklyn shit. Bill, not that you will watch Sesame Street.
And you often make fun of me for watching Sesame Street.
I don't have.
The Disney Street rules.
A lot of was on Sesame Street.
She is on Sesame Street.
A lot of, I have, you know, do you have a kid?
I have two, but I work, I'm the music director, Sesame Street.
He's the Joe Raposo of Sesame Street.
So you were on.
He's the reason why you're on Sesame Street.
Oh, sick.
It is my joy.
It's great.
Playing Ms. Noodle.
Miss noodle.
Newon approved, 2.0.
For real.
Oh, I love it.
It's so weird to have like three years.
old audience.
Yeah.
It's fucking cool.
And a 50 year old.
And a 50 year old audience.
It's fans.
It's not.
That's cool.
Noodle and the newer character?
Is that,
I'm sorry.
There's like Mr.
Noodle and he's like a clown.
And then he has like brothers and sisters
because he's doing other stuff.
I thought he was literally a talking noodle.
No, it's Bill Irwin.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Cool.
And then like people like Sarah Jones was Ms.
Noodle for a while.
his sister, Dovi Diggs was Mr. Noodle, his brother.
For a minute.
Yeah.
And now, Alana.
All right.
So, Amir needs to be gentrification noodle.
Can I, can I?
Yeah.
Brooklyn noodle.
I have like my semi mom and pop coffee shop, whatever.
My blue bottle ice coffee.
So you watch Sesame Street?
No, I remember it well.
I don't actively watch it now.
Nice save Thompson
Wow
The old ones are fucking sick
Like legit ass television
You know the 70s and 80s ones
I still like watch those clips sometimes
You know what I just learned
Bill I don't know if I told you this
So the movie I'm working on
About the Harlem Cultural Festival
The last day
The last week of
of that of that uh concert the home culture festival is essentially um and i'm not calling it black
woodstock um but you just did people people often describe it as black woodstock because
it happened at the same time that woodstock happened but just for black people uh but what i
discovered was uh the reason why the very the very last week of the carlop
festival wasn't taped was because the Cameron crew had to set up and work for a
news show shot in Brooklyn called Sesame Street.
Oh, that's wild.
And on the pilot episode was Luther Vandros and Fonzie Thornton.
Wow.
Wow.
Under, yeah, so if you if you Google the name of their band was called Listen My Brother.
So it's like one member of Sheik, Luther, Fonzie Thornton,
and they're doing this thing like count to 20.
If you look up, the name of their group was called Listen My Brother.
And they're on the pilot.
It's the pilot episode.
That's fucking sick.
It's the pilot episode.
But yeah, they performed at the Carlton Festival,
and that's the one thing I'm mad that I have known Luther Bandros at 19.
Wow.
That's a member of Sheik before Sheik.
Oh, it just popped up.
And that's when Nile was playing in the Sesame Band.
Right, exactly.
Wow.
Yeah, Nile, well, I don't think Nile was in that first clip, but he joined in 71.
So that's how that whole New York crew of like Lisa Fisher.
How young he is.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, that's him at 19.
Wow.
This was funky.
He was that 19.
He looked like he just worked a full shift at like they just don't make black people like that no more.
He's still flicking his hip.
They don't make us like that no more, dude.
Like you look at pictures of Otis Redding.
Like it was like when I watched the, it was like an oldest reading died at 26.
I was like this thing was 26.
No.
He looked like he was like 40 something.
Yeah, I can't make oldest reading in his 20s at all.
27.
Complete ass person.
Anyway, I got to wrap up because I have another job to do.
About to do them.
I have people to play music for.
Like, what's the thing you're going into for the weekend?
What are you doing on Saturday?
You know what you're doing Saturday or tomorrow already?
You know I'm one of those people.
You're being facetious right now, aren't you?
No, I'm doing that because I'm acting like, you know.
I'm really bad at this.
I know I'm doing Oprah's thing.
So Oprah's doing a Tyler Perry and Oprah in the same fucking episode.
Yeah.
Oprah's doing this over is doing this like 24 hours fundraising.
I guess she's like, you know, Jerry Lewis like raising money for 24 hours.
So I believe that I'm DJing on Oprah's virtual fundraiser thing for it's an odd amount of time.
like I'm DJing for 27 minutes.
Oh, wow.
Who's the person that counts the seconds?
Like 26 minutes.
But I have to ask a question, though.
I mean, with the whole celebrity fundraising thing, I mean,
it's a little kind of a paradox because it's like, okay,
you're a rich celebrity.
And I'm not saying you in particular, I'm here.
I'm just saying just.
I'm definitely not rich.
I'm just connected.
Yeah, no, absolutely.
But it's like, okay, if you're a rich celebrity and you're asking people,
to donate to the crisis.
Nigel, we are the crisis.
You know what I'm saying?
So you're asking us to donate to the crisis
so then y'all can give that money back to us?
I was just asked for like a peacock
is NBC's digital thing.
And I was like NBC is asking for human beings.
But the thing is they're matching.
So I was like, okay, that makes sense.
Okay.
That means.
And this level.
And it's levels, Fonte.
But it's levels, because that stuff ain't for you, though.
Because you ain't what they're supposed to go to it.
Like, it's for the food banks and stuff.
I hope that you ain't going to the food banks and getting you some food because.
West Love Supreme doesn't pay me, so I have to do it.
But I hear that.
I fucking hear that shit.
Yeah.
But shout out to be nice.
It's like, do a billionaires fundraiser.
You know what I mean?
Like New York.
Like, can the billion, we have like the most.
Like so many billionaires can they help?
At least make voting by mail happen.
I'm about to say, I need to work with a lot.
Do you that happens.
Lucy was up with Wisconsin with that.
Yeah, voting by mail in Wisconsin.
That's, that's going to be very.
What you're saying, Steve?
Very interesting.
Oh, what were you saying, Steve?
Are you about to go on and apply it?
Isn't it seven o'clock?
Is that 10 minutes of seven?
I was just going to, as a billionaire,
I was just going to say, cool, we're in, you know,
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
That's sweet.
All right.
All right.
Let's wrap this up.
So we appreciate you.
Thank you.
Alana,
I hope you don't go crazy
in your digs right now.
Thanks for having me.
How much fun.
That was really
helpful for my heart.
Thanks for having me.
Awesome.
All right.
On behalf of Fontigo,
Laia,
unpaid bill,
Sugar, Steve,
and my hat.
You gotta tell us what to get these hats.
I'm tired of you.
D and Ricky.
The same dude that make my heart.
Oh, I'm sorry.
At D and Ricky.
D.E.
Why are he smirking?
Because I don't know.
R. I C.K. Why?
Okay.
All right.
Do you not know D.Ricky, the twins that make my Lego hearts?
I don't know them.
And so do other people who are watching this.
No, they're your friend.
Yes.
D and Ricky.
I'm supporting two designers.
Yeah, at D and Ricky.
Or at Ricky and D and D.
At D-E-E-A-N-D-R-C-K-Y.
M-O-U-Y.
Some days, light switches.
Yo, I mean, before we go, quick question, Alana, so you said that you're, you have a partner.
How is quarantine affecting your marriage or relationship?
My marriage, my husband.
I'm actually, it's actually, okay, at first, I was like.
Wait.
Me and somebody had the same face like.
My, my.
I was seriously like, everything was just, like, shattered or whatever, but, but then.
I want you to describe everything, because you describe everything with the flair of a Broadway actress.
I was like, I was like just losing my mind altogether.
And I was like, we got to go.
We got to get out of house.
We got to go to Long Island.
I got to get it.
You know, I was just like so empty in general.
But, and like, I was having personally, like, a lot of ups and downs.
but he, I mean, it's like really
cheesy shit, but he's
really been like helping me just like
be in myself, just like, you know,
we had like arguments and like worked
through the shit, but we're in like a
place where we got like a rhythm gone.
Yeah, I've learned about mirroring.
Good.
Mirroring.
Mirroring.
You got to come on.
Where when you...
Showing the exact same.
Yes, when you are having a debate
or a dissoning.
agreement or an argument, whatever, it's more important that the person that you're having
with it feels that they are heard as opposed to you being right.
Yep.
Or solving it.
So I would have to repeat the words you say, okay, I understand how you feel.
You told me that this particular bread was made of seeds and da-da-da-da-da-da.
And the thing is, if you're busy, I was giving you a hypothetical.
The thing is, is that if you're repeating and mirroring exactly what your partner says,
you're not busy channeling them out to figure out what your rebuttal is.
Okay, let me say this is my, my, one of my best, my best friend is a psychiatrist.
He was just telling me about using this tactic with his partner.
And it's from this book, Getting the Love You Want.
And it's that book, like that tactic is based on nonviolent communication, another book.
and haven't read them, got them, but haven't read them.
Your shelf looks great, right?
Yes.
Oh, I look like it's genius.
But, like, it's, I think with this quarantine, it's like, you got to sit, like, what
is describing.
It's like, because you're, like, stuck, you got to, like, sit in it and, like, actually
walk through it.
But that, that, that, actually hearing them before you're like, but my defense, like,
it's like there's more time than ever.
So I feel like, um,
it's a good time if you're like,
have some tools, I guess.
I got a lot of therapy.
Oh, that was great, y'all.
I think we all do.
That helped a lot.
Anyway, y'all, on behalf of Sugar, Steve,
I'm Babe Bill, Lai, Fon, take a low.
And, Alana, pleasure.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
Thank you for coming to a lot of.
QLS live.
Hi, thanks for having me.
Great meeting, you guys.
Be in person Monday.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
All right.
See all later.
Bye.
Peace, face, face.
