On this week’s bonus episode of Table for Two, the comedian and actress joins host Bruce Bozzi to discuss her pet peeves, the most influential person in her life (hint: he’s a relative), and the first word that comes to mind when she hears “Andy Cohen.”

Speaker 1 (00:41):
We answered that, but maybe there's another peg.

your apartment. Yeah, it's ridiculous. Favorite thing to do in
New York City.

Speaker 3 (01:09):
Favorite thing to do in New York City is I like,
I usually have nuts on me, So whenever I go
to any park, I feed the squirrels, and then I
give nuts to other people so they can feel feed
up the squirrels.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
That's community building. Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
I love squirrels. State animal North Carolina and Virginia. I think, yeah,
well the cardinal is the state bird, but for both.
But yeah, the squirrel, the cardinal is, it's for Virginia
and North Carolina.

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Why would I think it was? Saint Louis are so
obsessed with Cardinals. Andy has everything else, all their sports
teams or Cardinals.

Speaker 3 (01:43):

Speaker 4 (03:16):
You know, I was gonna just say Jerry blank like first,
like like fan.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Jerry's fun and I like her because she's for misfits
and outcasts. And I love the stranger of the Candy audience.
I'm so blassed to have them as fans because you know,
I don't want to do a lot of different shows,
so when people say I'm a fan, I never really know.
But with a Strangers fan, I always know, or they
say I dated my girlfriend because she was a stranger's
or I broke up with my girlfriend because she didn't

(03:43):
like strangers. And to think that it's still alive and
there's the audience for it, I can't believe it. And
also Mandalorian that's got a very specific and Mandalorian though
want autographs like it's a different kind of but they're
they're geek in a different way, and I love a geek.

Don't bother other people? And when the other one is

We're easier. What is the way it goes?
