Speaker 2 (01:31):
Now that the guests are no longer fathers, you should
just I know.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Also, I was thinking that today do I need to
do a rebrand?

Speaker 2 (01:38):
I think this is this is Michaeh Rouchie's doing. He
was it his idea to bring on nonfather guests.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
It was not his idea, but I think that Micah
he was a proponent. Yes, And I always was going
to establish for him to break form. It was always
the intention.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
That is your signature you established for him to.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
Break Is that what you tell people about me?

Speaker 2 (02:03):
Signature is establishing for I.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Was always you're not but you are you. You're not
a You're not a dad in any way.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
What are you know? It's as if we've never met.

I am ecstatic to see you, happy to see you too.
I'm thrilled.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
I'm so happy. Okay, who are What do you want

Speaker 2 (02:41):
I want to say thank you to. I'm gonna say
thinking to many things, Okay, Okay, And then I want
to ask you because I know you. You you complain
about not being asked. Nobody asks you, and I genuinely
want to know. I want to thank Pam for that
delicious sandwich I just say. And I think some of
the top tier iced coffee in the.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
City sleeper, so people don't realize that.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
People don't realize, and it's it is. It gives me
that comforting sorry like franchisey thing where you're like, oh
the pret you're gonna get the coffee, You're gonna get
a prett here is gonna be the same you get
in London.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yes, I know that reliability.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
I want to thank Peacock. Okay, you can watch below
Deck and Hamnet on the same platform. That's amazing.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
And I want to thank one point five Speed because
I was really trying to cram it in before the
Oscars and I and I gotta say it's you don't
lose anything if you're watching the whole thing at the
same at one point five or at two, whatever you want,
because it's relative.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Right.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Yeah, yeah, the pacing is still so like apologies to
the Oscar winning editor and writer and director of one
Battle after another, but I it all, it all, it all, Tray.
I was like, this is this is great?

Speaker 1 (03:50):
It was over and what amount of time? Because I remember.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
It's two hours and forty minutes? Yeah, and so it
was over.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
And what like, sorry, this is math. I'm sorry to know.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
That's ok. It was like two hours.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Okay, right, saved yourself forty minutes. I know that's worthwhile.
I've never thought to listen or to or watch anything
at sped up speed. And I don't say that as like,
oh I'm virtuous, like when people talk about it, and
I'm like, yeah, part of my thing that I'm always
like my time. I don't have time. I don't have time.
I'm like I should speed shit up.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
I feel like you. I feel like you you could
really I don't know. Benefit No, I'm saying no, I'm
saying like, this is your busy person.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah, yeah, this is.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
This really helps with busy people.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
So what's the first busy people? Let's talk about busy? Wait, wait,
what what's the first? What's the first thing you watched
sped up or listened to speed up? If you remember?
I feel like watch is a bigger deal than even
a podcast.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Watch. No, watch is demonic. Yeah, demon is demon time.
That's that's the real sat What what what was the
first thing that I listened to sped up? Mm hmm,
I don't know, like uh uh this American life, like
early days as a podcasting Okay, so like I don't
know Cereal.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Oh she was a Cereal sped up? Yeah? Absolutely what
I was like there for every pregnant pause, I was.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
You were you wanted? Oh but in some podcasts, some
podcast s app including the official Apple podcast stap, like yeah,
we'll do like shortened silences. Oh, not not by too much,
but just like just a hair so that you're not
but I guess that. See that I understand if people
take issue with because that is like relative. You don't
want to lose. You don't want to lose any connective tissue.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
Yeah, yeah, okay, this is something I'm gonna look in
genuinely going to look into because I've just never taken
advantage of it.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
I think you, I think again, you can benefit. What
do you want to think?

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Oh, okay, thank you for asking me? Ooh who? Or
what do I want to say thanks to today? I
kind of okay, let's think about it. But okay, I'm
gonna think. I'm gonna take a pause and people can
speed through this part as I take my own nine
months pregnant pause, full term pause. I want to say thanks, No, no,

(06:07):
it's good, Oh my god, it's good. It's good. It's
so good. I almost work a lass. I want to
say thanks to you for being able to do this
and saying yes to doing it last minute. I love you.
I want to say thanks to my goodness. Hold on,
there's something it's no, you are, but it's good. No,
I like it. I'm not gonna because one thing I'm
gonna do, I'm not I'm resenting that. Thanks. I actually

(06:30):
don't want to say thanks to you, never mind pretend
the segment. No, but okay, I want to say, it's
really nice to see I was out of town, so
I seeing my my door person. So nice to just see.
There's one he like praise for me. I love him.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
Do you want to say his name Marquez Marquez?

Speaker 1 (06:47):
I do want to say his name, Marquez. He prays
for me. It's so, what are you supposed to tip
them at Christmas? Oh? My god, because I live l
a am I supposed to? No?

Speaker 2 (07:02):
No?

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Actually no, no, I.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
Take that out advocating for.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Guys. He's joking. We do comedy. It's joke because it's jokes.
It's he he's a ha. Yeah. No, I love him truly.
Every time I se him and I think, I'm like,
I haven't seen him in some times, so it was like,
oh my gosh, my guy. So yes, that's who. And
then my dog thanks to my dog, Chiefy mcweefy, Chiefy
mcchief for ten. He's so good. He's calmer than ever.

(07:33):
I'm very into this face. Not that he was ever
like a maniac per se, but he's just like a
calm little sweet baby is he is?

Speaker 2 (07:40):
He more stately now? He's like what three?

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Three? He turned three a few days ago.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Terrible even in dog ears, it's.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Real, it's real. Do you want kids? I'm just thinking
about this.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
No never ever.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Ever transitions yes, so bad.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
You don't have to be good transition. So you, editors,
I think you have the sort of presence and sort
of gravitas and people people love you so much that
you can't.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
You don't.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
You don't need a transition.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
You're so kind. Thank you. You can just like shock
someone with a question and go, do you want children? No,
you don't, but you don't want them, You've never wanted them.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
I was on the fence, and lately I'm like, what
I mean, the kids are struggling now. I don't see
it getting better for the kids, Okay, proverbial kids, And
there are moments where you're like, oh, they're all right,
and then and then, but then in the grand scheme
of the world, I think this, it's just tough for

(08:43):
anybody to raise a child. Yeah, And so I am
going to say not.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
At this time, not not at this moment, but that
could change. That could I say that could change just
because it sounds like it sounds like Lely's to be like,
not at this moment, but that is something that that
could change at some point in the future.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
But yeah, I know we were both pre med legends.
Would you do you think now, in hindsight you would
have had fun doing pre law or going to law
school because now now I think med school is so silly.
Yeah for us in hindsight, I'm like, it was so
what a silly notion for me?

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Exactly for me, that was never gonna be even remotely right.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
When did you know? I don't think we've talked about this,
Like when did you know? No in the program, in
the premid program at USC that you were like, this
is a fucking joke.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Or it's too serious.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
It's like it's too serious.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Yeah, it's too serious. It's too serious. And I you know,
I don't think until after college legitimately did I understand. Wait, ago,
you're a okay, this is gonna How do I I'm gonna
try my best articulate this? Like I think after college
I stopped feeling like in a system, which is the
school system or the education system, is like this is

(10:00):
the thing you go. You go from ninth grade to
tenth grade to now your freshman year of college. Like
I was just so in the system that it wasn't
until after I graduated college and like a couple of years,
to be honest, where I was like, well, of course
you didn't like being a biology major if you think
back to high school, you.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Hated all your sellings.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Those they are not classes you enjoyed either in any way,
shape or form. And so like you are a person, right,
You're not just like this robot in a machine and
going through the motions. And so, like the evidence was
there before I go. It actually tracks like you didn't
like it then, And I like math a lot. So
like I kind of enjoyed chemistry because there was math.

(10:41):
I mean, physics is math as well, but like I
don't think I took a physics class in college.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
So chemistry was more fun math because it was like
there were there was just different rules to it.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Yeah yeah, And so like I and you're you have
a chemistry degree.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
I have a chemistry degree.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Yeah, So like I just it was after and I
think during it, I was being silly the whole time, like,
and my classmates were very serious, yes, and so it's
like when you look back in retrospect, I'm like, oh,
totally girl, but they were all like gotta get gotta
get to my school. And this summer I'm doing this
thing at this internship, and I'm like, I just but

(11:15):
I didn't know I had options. Also though of course
did you feel you had actual.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Not at all. We both had. We both have medical
professional mothers who were like and we we love them,
we idolize them, and it made sense to model it
after them. Perhaps I don't mean to product, but it's true.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Yeah, yeah, that's what I knew.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
That's all I yes, And so I didn't know certainly
didn't feel like I had options even while I was
doing comedy at school, like in undergrad. Yeah, you know
what I mean. But I relate to this completely. Love math. Yeah,
I'm getting things in my algo realthm tell that are
like solve for x fun and three x three x
equals twenty seven. I'm like nine or yeah, public wi

(11:57):
is it like algorithm?

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Why is algebra and my algorithm?

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Right?

Speaker 1 (12:03):
That's how much you love math. That's how much I
love math my algorithm currently. And I was just talking
to Rashida about this last night because I feel because
of the industry we're in and who we know and
who our friends are, and I'm curious if you feel
this way. Sometimes I'm like, oh, you're just so like
overwhelmed with industry stuff when you go on on Instagram
in this position that we're in and it's all industry,

(12:26):
and you're kind of like, Okay, I work in the industry.
And then when I like go to like doom scroll,
it's industry. That's who I follow. And then like I
go to check my email and the news is industry,
and I'm like, how do I I mean, I know
how I need to get off the internet and my phone,
but like, do you ever feel that like the constant
the constant, like it's our job in your face all

(12:46):
the time.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Yes, what we do.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
So yeah, and there's no escaping it except for math math.
Why legitimately does this sound appealing to you at all?

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (13:01):
I order like a seventh grade pre algebra workbook meant
for thirteen year olds. Yeah, and like instead of like
a coloring book situation, I would fuck with that, like
easy math problem, I.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Would fuck with that. I generally I enjoyed it. I
used to love my senior year of college sitting down
so I was a business miner. Oh and so like
I picked it up because and I know this like
that ass backwards idea. It's not ass backwards. I just
didn't know anything. To me. College was four years, so
I was actually done my biodegree.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
What do you mean to you? College was to me
because I was like, it.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
Has to be four. There's like, oh, you know what
I mean. Yeah, but my biodegree was actually done with
the exception of one class by my senior year, which
was also crazy that like did not it could have
been three, and like I could have maybe like stuffed
one class into that third year or like, I guess,
take one class my senior year. And I was like,

(13:55):
so I had picked up two miners to be like,
it's got to do the fourth years are I would
but I didn't know. And the things you know now,
I'm like, I oh oh. And even the way we
stacked my classes, I kind of just took their template
and was like, yeah, for sure, and let's do them
early in the morning and get him. It was all wrong.
Everything was an honey eight am. And this is probably

(14:17):
when I should have known bio pre med wasn't for me.
I'd show up to my eight am biology class, I'd
sit in the front row, diligent student. I put my
book like this, and I would lay in the front
row with regularity.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Why even go? Why these people? I'm like, why are
you not only why are you here?

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Why are you front front row? And it wasn't like
a oh, I can't help myself. It was like I'm here,
set my book up, it's my pillow, and I'm this.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
That was was that row That was more comforting than
singing in.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Bed, well, because saying in bed felt like I'm not
doing my responsibilities. But like I showed up. I put
clothes on, we brushed our teeth, we washed our face,
I've showered whatever. I'm here, I'm in my clothes, put
a little makeup on to go to sleep, row in
front of the professor. I think about that girl and
my honey, what did you think this was? You thought

(15:14):
that was a good idea?

Speaker 2 (15:18):
And this is well, I think this does. What does
this say about you? This says that.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
You don't try to compliment me. Be real.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
I'm being real.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Okay, go be real, don't compliment.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
I'm not gonna you don't know where you you will
show up with just the right amount of detachment. I
like this, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (15:36):
I like thank you for that. It was a compliment
and I knew it was going to be, but it is.
I am kind of like, yeah, I know that. In
high school I cared so much about attendance, and that
was like stupid and in retrospect, like who cares about attendance?
And like showing up did really resonate with me, But
I'm like the level of disrespect to do that, And

(15:57):
I didn't feel connected to most of my profess like
because especially the sides.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
I just like I never went to office hours once,
just telling.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
You start and look at what look at how he
turned out kids in college. This man never went to
office hours.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
Now do you back in movies and TV shows, it's like,
come to my office hours. It cut to the next
scene or whatever.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
I just want to live a movie. A movie when
did you look? Kim was not for you? And pre
med was not for you?

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Years?

Speaker 1 (16:28):
What was the what was the culture that made me say.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Is not for me? Okay, no, ye're one like standard Kim.
I was like this sucks. You know what really hooked me,
which is never never the trajectory usually was organic orgo
or that's the.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
Thing people struggle with and they're like I have to
drop out.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
It felt like this is these are puzzles. This is
like this is like a dungeon and Zelda or whatever.
This is like a crossword. This is whatever. This is
like a logic puzzle I can do, Like I want
to take the AL side just to do the logic puzzles,
which I hear are no longer on the L side.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Oh so you're like, I don't need to You don't
need to take the L set for a number of
reasons now anymore, but especially because the puzzles.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Aren't at I would take the bar. I want to
go to the Javit Center and sit in that big
gass room, take and take the bar. That would be
fun the.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Way I would fail the bar if I just decided
to go pop it and I'm so smart.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
That would be fun.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
It kind of would be fun. We should consider.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
It something very appealing and the opposite way of like
oh like a you know, twelve year old algebra book.
I want to do something that I know I will
fail at just to just to like say that I
sat through it and did I know, like I can
just like truly be fit yeah, and and and have

(17:46):
it be okay and like this has no bearing on me,
Like well, of course that makes it different, but you
know what I mean, of.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Course, because it's like not our industry, so it makes
it litle easier. But I enjoy failing in the ways
I like to. But I love to do a thing
that makes me like so uncomfter. Blenn is so out
of my realm of whatever. I do enjoy that. So
that resonates.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
What do you wanna? What's what's the next what's the
next thing? I think, let's let's let's go to Let's
go to jabbets.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Let's take the bar. I will be so bad at
the bar.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Let's go, let's go. Did she pass it?

Speaker 1 (18:18):
I think she. I think she passed because when she
was at SNL, she was taking she had a binder
and she's like studying for it, and she had it.
I think it was her second or third time taking
it when she when when we were there, she's working
on it. I think she passed.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
I think she passed.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
We should text her.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
You have her number?

Speaker 1 (18:36):
I don't have her number.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
I don't think anyone. I don't think she connected with
anyone except Pete.

Speaker 1 (18:43):
I guess well as well. Also people like that. I
feel like Kim Gardashian probably changes her number all the time.
Of course, do you change your number often? Is it
the same where you're genuinely I'm asking because I don't
know if I have your number anymore?

Speaker 2 (18:57):
Shut up, I have I have a new one that
I don't use. A separate situation, separate I have a
nine one seven.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
I have a nine one seven as well. Okay, wait, pause, pause,
pregnant the nine one seven? Did you get that for
business so that you could give b Why did you
get the second number?

Speaker 2 (19:17):
I got the second number because I was like, just
in Cay, like if like if the towers go down
in Denver. I don't know, I don't I don't know.
I don't really know why.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Okay, Okay, but it was it was.

Speaker 2 (19:32):
It was like I was like, oh, like I might
as well just yeah, I don't know. It was a
j I C. I have no idea, okay, no reason
for it.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Okay. And for our listeners at home, j I.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
C is just a case or Jesus is Christ is Christ?
Jesus is Jesus Christ Christ. Why did you get the
nine one?

Speaker 1 (19:53):
I'm going to tell you that I have a question.
I'll tell you. But do you do you have? Do
you have? Are you in a family plan with yourself?

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Yes? Up until very recently, I defected.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
You defected from your family family plan? So now your
family plan is just your both your just it's just
my two numbers. I have a nine one seven. My
nine to one seven number is not real, but I
have it, got it twist.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
What do you mean not real?

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Like it's it's like it's an app on my phone.

Speaker 2 (20:19):
Oh great, yes, so that like.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Everyone doesn't have to have the number.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
But I'm this is do you ever think about this
with phone numbers, area codes aside, there's only what seven digits,
so there's only math. Come on, come on, math, there's
only like a million numbers, and a million's not like
like a million's not that much.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
And he's talking about money.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
We're buying up all the internets. We're buying up all
the verizons.

Speaker 1 (20:47):
That I know. Well, it was like even having to
get I remember when the Baltimore area code was like
split because it was like there's too many four one oh's,
And it was like, well, first we got area codes
because they were we were using up all the numbers.
We got area codes for that reason. And then the
Baltimore area code split, and I was like, oh my gosh,
my house number is authentic, and then my cell is
part of the split, really authentic. I'm like O G

(21:11):
G authentic.

Speaker 2 (21:12):
Yeah, and and how do you and you and you
have like the nine one seven will always be fake
in the app, I know.

Speaker 1 (21:19):
But then I think about getting another one. Because to
your point about towers being down, there was a day
and we're talking about the cell towers.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
The cell towers. Oh my god, you took it there.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
I didn't.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
I'm sorry you did.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
I set him up to take it there. Maybe you
didn't take the prey, maybe don't take the baby, don't no,
but I the towers were. I don't know what the
fuck happened. I don't know if you know about this,
because I don't Verizon.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Shut I can tell you about what happened.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
What happened, what happened? Well, the towers were knocked down.
We're gonna cut my part. Well, good, you go. Oh
my god, So the towers, the cells, the cell towers
for Verizon went down in Baltimore, just honey, in New York,

(22:14):
in New York, Gotham City, no joke, I'm not kidding.
This was okay, right now, the month is March. I'm
my concept of time is really fucked right now. So
I'm yeah, I'm gonna say it was January of this year,
of this year.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Okay, yes, I remember that day, honey.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yes, the cell phones they stopped working, the variety, all
of Horizon, the most reliable networks, supposedly supposed No, my
phone just stopped working. It went into SOS. It kind
of does that. I got the new phone and it
was doing that already. I was like, oh, okay, I have
to shut it down. Like I got this new phone
that gives me problems. But I turn it off, turn
it on, and I'm doing that for like twenty minutes
in my kitchen. I have errands meetings to get to YEP,

(22:54):
and I was like, well, okay, I guess I have
to try to remember the map route or take what
have I have? I find my house, so I get
there route and I take screenshots because I'm like, the
phone's not working. And then I get where I'm going,
and well, first I was like, I'm gonna go to Verizon,
because that's gonna there's one right by my meeting. I
go to Verizon. It is in fact Gotham City. The
staff standing in a line at the Verizon in Soho

(23:15):
and a bunch just mayhem in the store, a bunch
of people, and I could see the staff basically dead
pen yeah, dissociated and being like there's nothing we can do,
There's nothing we can do in people being like I
thought it was just my phone, and I was like,
I thought it was just mine. And then everywhere I
go I could hear people I'm passing and so hoping
like my phone's not working. The phone's not working, and
I was like, this is crazy. It was like that

(23:36):
until ten pm. So it started at noon earlier, earlier,
and it was like that until after ten fifteen pm.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Rid is not stable.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
It's not And it was just weird to see how
much I rely on the phone. So when you talk
about the towers being down, no, no, genuinely, I'm not
trying to be funny funny.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
I wasn't trying to be funny.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
When and and so, yes and yes, and does that
attitudinally change anything for you about having the nine ones?
I don't think that makes it.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
It doesn't make a difference because if I got another
phone number, it would be on Verizon. It's just because
I'm like, I'm not going to change providers because that
one day. But also they had no explanation. They're like
they sent a tweet out at like or threads or
tweet out at like one pm, be like we're aware
and we're working on it. And then we didn't hear
from them for the rest of the day. And then
it was just like my cell service started working at
ten fifteen. We don't know what happened. No, no, there

(24:28):
was not like this is what happened. No, just all
of crazy. Yeah, so good to have two numbers.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
What would be in your like prepper cut if that
were to happen again, and like, oh if this, like
the towers going down with it fell society.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
It felt like apocalyptic a touch truly walking through SOHO
and being like it was so weird. I'm like, none
of us can you can't use them map. I couldn't
call it uber to get to I was like, oh,
I don't know. So it is a bit disorienting. I
think it can be. I think a hot spot. I
keep thinking, yeah, okay, I want a hot spot. Okay,
I want a hotspot, I want chief.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
But the hotspot also goes down with the towers like
like that the hot spot is just brickted.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
Are you calling me stupid on my whole podcast? You
can't do that? On my podcast. Okay, so, okay, I
forget it. I need to just disconnect. That's what you're saying.
I go, do I need to disconnect? I'm getting pen
and paper.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Yes, stamps because the post office will be open to the.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Rain and sleep snow, sell towers down. The post office
is open. My dog. Yes, my photos from my high
school prom. Oh, I have the album. That's the physical.
They have not been digitized. They're in my apartment in
New York. I have no storage space, but I have those.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
What's have we talked about? What? Like? What problem? What? What
made prom? Says best?

Speaker 1 (26:00):
No? But I do want to know from you first?
Sure made so special?

Speaker 2 (26:04):
I went with junior year, I went with Laura Lockwood.
Senior year, I went with Alex Town and they were
both both girls.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
I did we try not to say last names on
this podcast, you said, okay, sorry, just to protect me.
I did.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
But you were saying something really interesting, which was there
was an era of reality television where we weren't saying yes,
I was talking about this.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
I'm like, we just weren't and it was like so
and so h or so and so last, but now
it's like whatever, it's all out there.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Now because you're right, because of social media. Yeah, it's
like we want to look them up first and last.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yes, yes, okay, but you went with these I went.

Speaker 2 (26:42):
With these girls. Just the big draw was that it
was at Invesco Field, my my high stadium, like the
big Arena or the big Stadium, I should say. But
it was just like in like a conference room. It
wasn't like out in the field, and there was a
chocolate fountain and people freakingly.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Went crazy for that crazy. Were you nervous to ask
either of them? Did you have nerves asking?

Speaker 2 (27:02):
No? Because it was it was very out of the close.
It was so like when you're when you're a gay guy,
it's just like there's no you're not. There's not, at
least in my when we were in high school, was
like you're not going with another guy unless you're like
coupled up.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
So it's like you're just gonna go. You're basically going staged,
but your date is like an ally girl okay, basically okay,
And that's what it was. Okay, okay, So what was
so special that problem?

Speaker 1 (27:26):
My I stayed out. I like went to parties like,
which was a twist because I didn't party in high school,
so like I did the like I asked a friend
and I was like, he had graduated I think the
year before, and I'm gonna cough, and so that's why
I sound like this spot you know this.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
Yes, they're bad right now.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Allergies are fucking me.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Do you see my eyes? Do you maybe can't see
Do you hear my voice?

Speaker 2 (27:55):
I hear your voice. I can't see your eyes? What
do you What do you mean you can't see my eye? No,
I'm there.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
I know you're not baby blue, but you can see
my mouth, you can see my Okay. I don't know
if we're going to cut that out because I do
say we're sponsored by allergies, because ballergies are real, and
I genuinely.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Don't cut out.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
We have to let people know that none of this
is perfect. I'm passionate about it, passion of the j
I c okay, Jesus okay. So I asked, I asked
a friend. He had graduated. I was like, I'll pay
for your tux rental whatever, just come with me for yeah,

(28:36):
because he did. He didn't. We I don't even know
we even knew each other well, like we knew each
other in passing and he was like a nice guy,
and I go, oh my gosh, I don't have a date.
I didn't even think about this because I was so
I was so not boy crazy in high school at all,
and so I was like should I didn't think about this,
but I do need to ask someone? And I asked
him and I think he worked at Anian's Pretzels and
I lived by the mall, and I think one Friday

(28:57):
we got dropped off at the mall or I did,
he's working, and I was like, oh, Robert, do you
want to go to the go to prom with me?
And he's like, yeah, i'll go. And I was like yeah,
I'll pay for the stuff. And so he came to
prom with me, but it was like so platonic. And
then I like went out and partied with my friends.
I was like, oh my gosh, my drinking smeared off
ice ice. It was coke, weed, catamine, hero and oxy.

(29:24):
Imagine me, yeah, imagine, I don't know, imagine me. I like,
I'm like I'll have a headache and be like no,
I think my body can beat this. It's ridiculous, but
that's what I think that was but it was it
was it was very cute, see and it was like, Okay,
it's come and it's gone and it doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
The photos are going out Kioto.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Because I'm like, I loved my dress. I thought I
was j Lo with the Versace green. I had a
red dress. Oh, just a red gown and a deep cut.
It's a deep cut to but it was like classy
because then there was this little like rhyinstone situation keeping
the sides together. I'm yeah, I'm just like, oh, because

(30:09):
I feel I don't have so many memories from from
that high school, middle school, Like I just feel like
I don't Yeah, I don't have what happened? Do you
think trauma made us forget or just life got busy?
They swear it's trauma.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
They swear they but then does the trauma like and
the trauma is of the time.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Apparently, Yeah, that's like why you don't remember a period. Supposedly.
I'm not a scientist. I mean I guess technically you
are both these degrees. Would you yeah, yeah, would you
have described high school as a bit traumatic?

Speaker 2 (30:45):
I think so, you know what, the lovely people at
my school, In fact, one staff member who is now retiring.
His name is Scott Cohen. He was like the activities director.
He like was kind of the sponsor of like the
student government and all that. I was like the guy
like all like all like the squeaky clean I'll say,
like kids like really like bonded with him. And he

(31:06):
was a swim coach. He was great, wonderful, upstanding, honorable staff.
Perry's retiring now and then he in his retirement act.
I guess is doing like a hall of Fame for
the Smoky Hill High School sort of legacy. Yeah, and
it's me and I believe I'm gonna say not Mark Norman.

(31:26):
It was like it's like some other like Browie or
stand up guy, which is so funny. But they're doing
a hall of Fame and they want to They're asking
me if I can go, and I was like I can.
I have like I'm in production that week and and
I almos. I'm also kind of like it just seems
just ingenuous to go back to my high school and
be like thank you, this is this was great, this
is great. It wasn't and that's okay, and that is okay,

(31:47):
that's fine. Yeah, Like I had oh my god, dam
like my one teacher who I love and adore and
like all changed the course of my life and like
it's it's a wonderful example of like teachers in general
and just public school teachers just like being wonderful sort
of community members and whatever. Texted me this this past

(32:08):
week and being like, so, your old teacher is in
town and would love if you reached out and like
said hi to the students. This old teacher was like
terrible to me. I'm like, no, yeah, freaking way. Yeah,
So I don't know, Yeah, yes, I guess that's I'm describing.
It was like not lowercase tea, lowercase T.

Speaker 1 (32:25):
Is that helpful? Lowercast team? Maybe yes, Sometimes I'm like
something was traumatic, but I'm like that feels so dramatic
to call it traumatic, Like it's not that it was,
it's not.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
There's a spectrum.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Yeah, there's a spectrum.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Lowercase tea, lowercase tea, but like the top is a
little short. Well I don't know, So it's like like
lowercase tea with a long top. Long top is like
the lowest case and then as it gets shortened, starts
to resemble up like everyercase.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
So where do so yours falls on? It's as we're
talking high school long top.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
I think it's like Jesus Christ, like perfect crucifix.

Speaker 1 (33:03):
Got it? Okay, okay, got it right in the middle there,
not even the middle. It's a little bit above middle. Yes,
it's a little bit above middle. Got it.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
I have a visionary where the stigmatic go, where the
hands go.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Okay, Okay, I now know I see it.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Of Okay, what about you?

Speaker 1 (33:21):
High school lowercase? No tea. I don't feel I have
no tea.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
I know you walked me to calling my high school
experience traumatic.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
You see, that's called journalism. That's called journalism. I hope
I hope the press picks it up, clip it, run
with it. No, No, genuinely, I don't know. I think
I had more college tea. But it was also just
like such culture shock going to l A in Baltimore.
I was so like, it's okay, life isn't meant to

(33:54):
be happy, like like every day and so it's more that,
But it was also like just I chose the major.
I had to kind of chose it, like yes, and
again the culture shock of moving from Baltimore to la
which is just a very different kind of place, and
so and then also private school. And I did go

(34:14):
to public school my whole life, so shout out to
public school.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
I want to say thanks to them, thanks to them.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
Thanks to public school. But yeah, I high school was
kind of like whatever, I couldn't. I just always remember
just being I can't wait to grow up, can't wait
to move. That was always my vibe, like can't wait
to move one of the city, the big cities.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Yeah, well it always I remember my right about right
around graduation. We were just out doing something, some activity,
and there were parents there and then one of them
was talking to someone else about their call, like they
were going to like SeeU Bould or whatever. And then
I remember this because it's sent a chill down my spine.

(34:53):
It sounded it felt so wrong at the time and
still does. But it was this parent going I will
enjoy college because they're the best years of your life.
And I was like, that can't be true.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Like I refuse for that to be I love that
you do that, though in real time you're like, that's
dark because even when people say that about high school,
I used to hear it about high school. This is
the best years of your life. Now, honey, up by
a long shot, not by a long shot, thus far far,
and I've lived some life now and I'm like wrong,
and I knew that was wrong, and I wasn't even

(35:29):
experiencing any crazy. I was like, this is fine, this
is fine. These are the best years of my life.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Huh uh huh No way, yeah, now we have to
apply this to SNL. No, we don't.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
Okay, the best years of your life? When people say that,
would you say.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Well, not enough time has passed for us to discern,
to discern I had I had a wonderful time. Yeah
that's all I'll say. Yeah, okay, So no, no, I
had a complicated time and that oh god, that's gonna
get clipped. That's clipped.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
No, isn't it is that you can't just talk to
your friend on a podcast in front of microphones and
not have it be cleared. Why do I halfway believe that.
I'm like, guys, it's not that, it's not that they
got to fill their quota of articles and are like
Bowen said.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
And like it's it's it's fine, it's fine, it's normal.

Speaker 1 (36:18):
I really want to be like, guys, it's fine, they're.

Speaker 2 (36:20):
Not gonna put that in. But they're not put that
in the article though.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
They're not going to say that part. They're not going
to go where he says it's a job.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
But why won't you say it?

Speaker 1 (36:27):
Because I want to ask you how you.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Because I you see, I always take the bait and
you are so media trained.

Speaker 1 (36:36):
I'm media trade, honey. I media training classes at USC
they offered. No, I was a bio major, but I'm
taking media training. I think I'm gonna be famous one
day and I'm in media training. I'm sure there's some
some of course, Yeah, but I want I did want
to ask you. You're like, you're really pivoted. I like

(36:59):
it of its city. I did want to ask you
if you knew from Colorado your's time.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
I'm I'm hanging on this laughing at me, laughing.

Speaker 1 (37:10):
He's like, who is this version of her? I love her?
She love more? Who do you love more of all
the versions of me? Honest? Go crazy? Of all the
question I was gonna ask what we digress?

Speaker 2 (37:24):
I love I got to see wedding version of you. Oh,
I've We've been at two weddings now we have. Yeah,
I love you at what you at a wedding is
a great time, Okay, and not even like it's it's
and like, I hope this doesn't put pressure on you
to like in the future be like I guess I
gotta turn to be on at a wedding. You're I
think you are the perfect sort of like frequency at
a wedding where it's like you show up, you look

(37:46):
great again. Showing up with the perfect amount of detachment
and attackment is even like not the right word. Yeah,
I show up and you're like, I know my place here,
I'm a guest. I'm gonna like hang back, I have
a good time.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
Thank you for that's very sweet. You know. I will
say when people go to someone's wedding or their birthday
party and they're doing too much, I'm always like, you
don't need to do all of that. It's kind of
like this is about someone else. I've told this story
on the podcast before, but I flew from a SNLP
my first he who in my episode in my first
season from Interest. Yeah, my birthday, flew to LA for

(38:24):
my friend's wedding, which was on the Sunday, which is
technically when the episode was done. So people got me drinks,
which is very nice to drink too much go to
La for my friend's wedding and she and her husband
who just celebrated and it coincides with my birthday. Their
like seventh year. They were like, do you want to say?

Speaker 2 (38:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Have people thank you? Thank you, thank you so much. No,
I know, I'm like thank you.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
Yeah, he didn't.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Do you have anything you want to say?

Speaker 2 (38:51):
No?

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Besides that, what was happening? Where were you? I had
a party?

Speaker 2 (38:57):
I know you did.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
I didn't have a party. Look at him, he's kidding,
my love.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
I can't keep up with power anymore.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
No. No, I didn't have a part of my love. I
didn't have I didn't do get in. I didn't keep
it in.

Speaker 2 (39:08):
Keep it in, keep that in. Okay, wait your friend.

Speaker 1 (39:11):
So my friend in Las, they were like, do you
want us to sing happy birthday? And I was like
at your wedding, No, absolutely not, and then like we'll
sing it. I was like no, And then I felt
we were going back and forth with the like, well
we will.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
They wanted it more than you.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
So then I that's kind of what I started feel like.
And I was like, okay, well if you and I
was like, if you want to for you, just know
that I don't need that that's not at all. Imagine
I'm on SNL at your wedding and you're singing me
Happy Birthday. I'm like, I'm not a maniac. And so
I was like, if you really want to sing me
happy birthday, I feel like for you, guys will feel whatever,
but I'm like, please don't. And then my friend who

(39:48):
was with me was like, that is so sweet of you,
and I was like, so you would have let them
sing happy birthday? I was like, I have so many
of these, God will it?

Speaker 2 (39:55):
Of course you have one wedding. Do you think they
just felt bad that you were flying in like on the.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
Very sweet like, yeah, I'm sure it was some like
oh my goodness, you were just but I'm like, I
am so happy to be here to support your union,
beautiful couple, beautiful friends. But yeah, people doing too much
at someone else's thing, like let people have their.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
People have their thing. Can I ask you something and
we can we can leave this out. I remember it
was like your second week at SNL. Oh, yeah, and
I feel like this is this a wedding sort of
small lowercase te M trauma. You know, we don't have
to hide, we don't know.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
No, No, it's it can stay in. It's staying in.
It's no. I've said this before. I missed my brother's
wedding for my second week of me crying in my
dressing room, like but it was but it wasn't like bawling.
It just called him and they were They were so supportive,
he and his wife, and I was like, you look
so handsome, and I was like, and I'm not gonna

(40:50):
and then I just try to cry. But like, yeah,
that I think. But going into SNL, I was like
I had not a great manager at the time that
I still and I had said, well, this is tough
in terms of like potentially getting this job. My brother's
wedding is October six, and I still remember, but I
was like, my brother's wedding is October six, and he's
like normal and getting married and the others of us,

(41:11):
of the siblings are like questionable.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
And I was like, you were you include yourself the
questionable one.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
Yeah, I was like, we're weird. The other three of us.
I was like, he's so normal. And it's so funny
because then after like the wedding, I did take a
train down to Maryland after and like the whole family
is there and everyone was like it was magic, it
was pure. I'm like so happy to see everyone together,
like my cousin's from London. Everyone was there. But I

(41:38):
was like, okay, so I missed that and I said
one line in the show last night, which doesn't upset
me like that. It was more just like i'd ask
I'd asked my manager to like can you ask them
to like just we can flag it now, we can
flag it, but like before I even get the job,
we can flag it. And he was just so like
SNL is Mecca that he wouldn't even he wouldn't. He's like,
we can't, and I was like, I feel like we probably.

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Now in hindsight, you're like knowing what you know now.
It's like he absolutely, oh.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
And even like week four, one of someone who worked
there was like, I just I heard it was your
brother's wedding or it was like week three. They were like, here,
it was your brother's wedding this week, and we could
have asked, and they're like, we don't know what would
have been the answer, but I think we could ask.
I think if we asked, the answer would have been yes.

Speaker 2 (42:16):
I think so, And this is not us like sort
of like keeping like that institutional reputation squeaky clean. It's
just like, no, they absolutely would have been like, of course.

Speaker 1 (42:26):
You can go ye wed or second episode. We're not
gonna yeah, and we know this well in advance. I
have my dress, I have my shoes, my little gold shoes.
So but I think what it is is like there
are people's weddings who I love and a door and
I have missed, but I do try. I do like
I'm low key not getting invited to Like I don't

(42:49):
know if this is the case for you, but I'm
not getting invited to weddings where I'm like, Okay, I
kind of know you. I feel like you just invited
me because it you're like kind of inviting everyone. Sure,
all the weddings I'm getting invited to him like I
really love and care about you, and if I can
be there, I want to be there.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
The beauty of weddings, yeah, Like it's it is an
informational about like the people in your life who like
mean something, whether or not you're like, oh, we barely
know each other, Yeah, should I show up? Or it's
like You're one of the closest people in my life,
Like yeah, no, matter what like it's it's a profound thing.

Speaker 1 (43:20):
Have you been a groomsman? Grooms man man, I'm your sister's.

Speaker 2 (43:24):
Wedding, sister's wedding and then Adulkan Booster's wedding in December.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
Did you give a speech, Eddie?

Speaker 2 (43:31):
Yes, gave a speech at the rehearsal dinner for my
sisters and Crush.

Speaker 1 (43:36):
Of course you did. Were we reading from paper from phone?

Speaker 2 (43:39):
I was off off book.

Speaker 1 (43:41):
That's the way to do it. I don't know that
I'll ever be able to, but that's the way you
can for a living. When I saw Autumn accepting the
Oscar for Best Cinematography, and I was like, she's off
book and it's so it's I feel I'd be so
nervous and I'd be so like disoriented by the whole
day and every thing. So her calmly speaking up there,

(44:03):
hot so hot. I was just like, how do they
do it? I'm like, I would have to surely have
written something. So you were off book? Okay, okay?

Speaker 2 (44:13):
And and uh for Joel's wedding, I think it was
me that was a two hand, or was me and
Matt Ronders And when we're reading off of phone.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
Okay, phone, Okay, the phone and stuff just visually, it's
just it's the visual of the you know, it's the
visual of the phone that I think. Sometimes I'm like,
oh no, maybe paper, But then I'm like, the phone
is just so easy.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
It's just so easy. Paper feels paper, Paper makes sound.

Speaker 1 (44:39):
Yes, paper makes sound into the mic.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
I think best option, unfortunately, is being ob.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
O b o B do. I I know, I do
think all book is good. I yeah, that.

Speaker 2 (44:54):
We talked about and podcast brother, Oh.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
Yeah, that's okay. I genuinely it was just like a
crazy but I've spoken about it and it's just such
a like, oh my goodness, I want to be there.
And the whole family is that they're all there in
Maryland right now, and the pictures look amazing, but they were.
My brother and sister in law were so sweet and
so supportive, and I I am very grateful for that,

(45:19):
and everyone in my life generally has been by and large,
like understand that, like we work on we worked on Saturdays.
We worked on Saturdays, and that's a tough way. And
we worked on we worked six days, yeah, and technically
seven because you're like you're still working on Sunday pictures.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
Yeah, yeah, But would you understand it if they were
like for your wedding, they were like, we're not going
to come because oh, it's only fair.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
Okay, I would understand if it was not. Ever they
would never do that, but I would understand it because
here's my thing. My dream wedding is forty people total
between me and the groom.

Speaker 2 (45:58):
Perfect.

Speaker 1 (45:59):
I'm a huge fan. So that means a slaughterhouse record.
That means people are getting slashed left and right.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
I'm not getting no.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
I just in my mind, but it's like so romantic
to me, you should just I'm not gonna do it.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
It's not a loop.

Speaker 1 (46:15):
I've thought about elerping, but then I'm like, but I
want to throw a party. It's very twisted. So I'm like,
I am.

Speaker 2 (46:22):
I think we're we're in a world now where you
can be like, no one showed for the ceremony, it's
gonna be forty people, but we're throwing a huge bash afterwards.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
That is true. Well, I have two of my friends
just got engaged and I was like, what's the plan
for the wedding? And they're like, we've been They've been
to so many weddings. They're always at a wedding and
every every country, every so they're they're like, we just
want to gather our loved ones for like a extended weekend,
and like that's to them. They're like, we that's our vibe.
We have discovered from our experience and from talking to
grooms and brides over the years, that they don't remember

(46:53):
anything from the day because it's so stressful, and they're like,
neither of us is religious, and so this is what
we want to do. Do you ever want to get married?
That's something you desire? I don't know.

Speaker 2 (47:05):
Yeah, I have not been. I have not been in
uh presented that situation.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
Okay, what I mean, I understand.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
Imagine if you can only answer that question, I.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
Think so. But it just sounded depend imagine that question,
of course, But it's not something where like if you
didn't get married, you'd be like, oh, this thing was
missing from my life. You don't think. Okay, that's clear. Yeah,
do I want to get married? I do. I don't
know why I say it like that. No, I'm saying
it like that's not for shame. I'm just like a

(47:42):
girl who had like never envisioned her wedding. Someone asked me,
what kind of ring would you want? I'm like, I
don't know anything about rings, and but there's some women
who know and they know and they know the cut
and the princess and the pair and then and I
don't know anything. I don't know, and I know that's
not what getting married is, but like it's just.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
Gratitude, like I.

Speaker 1 (48:03):
Do want to yeah, if it makes sense. But also
when like guys answer that question that way straight guys
go like yeah, I do, I feel like they're like
trying to buy time and be like I want to
get married, but not to you. And so it's this
very big like yeah, if I meet the right person.
And so that's that's what gets on my nerves when
I ask that question, not just the guys to ask
that question anyone, and it's largely guys. So and I go,

(48:27):
I go, do you want to get married? And they go,
if I serve to the right person, yeah, Like that's
kind of the given of the question, that.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
Is, you have to marry this child.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
Yeah. I'm like, what do you? And it's and by
the way, most of the time I'm not even romantically
involved with the guy they answer that way. I'm like, yeah,
that's of course, that's that is to be assumed yes
as part of the question.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
And so I feel like I kind of just did that.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
The gay guy version was I'm just that, like, is
it a desire of yours? Do you think that would
sound nice for you?

Speaker 2 (49:03):
I I told I have more foresight, not forced. I
have more of a vision of that than I do
having a child. Okay, yeah, you don't ask all of
your questions, but are you asking the non parent guests
these questions?

Speaker 1 (49:20):
Not always?

Speaker 2 (49:21):
Not always?

Speaker 1 (49:21):
Do you hate my questions?

Speaker 2 (49:22):
I love these questions because I feel like I don't
get it. I don't really talk about.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
That because everyone wants to know this one question I
do have right now to ask you that we like
we moved from and it's not family related. Was you're
going to m YU? Yes, you were in doing comedy?
Did you know before you got to n YU You're like,
I want to be in this comedy troop or this
sketch team that exists, Like I know that you did
know that? Okay.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
I researched every single comedy group at all of the
schools that are like I was interested in or that,
and then like you know, things fell off once like
I got rejected from schools. I was like, okay, I'm
not I got I'm not going to Northwestern like Titanic Players. Okay, okay, closer,
But I did. Oh god, it's so pathetic. And then
I researched the groups at NYU, Hammercats and Danger Box.

(50:08):
I was like, oh my gosh, like the Boys of
Derek Comedy. This guy Donald Clover was in this group,
and then also he was he helped And I went
to the Danger Box website and there were names like
friend Gillespie and a dressin like like all these people
and like now like they're all wonderful friends and like
now they're getting married and it's it's but it was yeah,

(50:30):
I like researched it, and even at the time I
was kidding myself. I was like, I'm only doing it
as a hobby.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
Oh, but you were so clear on like all that research.
It's so telling. But you have to be like, is
this going to be supported when I say that this
is what I want to do professionally, Like in no,
largely in no way.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
Because you've said this right. It's like we would say
that we wanted to go into medicine because the reaction
it would get from like the people we were around,
the adults we were around, would be like, oh my gosh,
good friend.

Speaker 1 (51:01):
Great, Yes, that's right, good good, that's right. Even I
had like a friend I was in LA. I said,
let's say I'd been out of college like three years
and he's like white dude from Baltimore. But he sent
me we text He's like, what happened to being a doctor?
And I was like, what do you care? I was like,
what are you like? And he wasn't doing it to
be mean, he was just like, but what happened to that?

(51:22):
I go, You're not your parents are? I get meant
it from a good place, but I'm like, wow, everyone's
like really on board for this doctor thing.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
So he asked you that like as a way to
be like what do you like, what are you up to?
What are you up to? And but like it's like
it's like if you asked him like what happened to
international affairs?

Speaker 1 (51:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (51:44):
Yeah, why aren't you a diplomat?

Speaker 1 (51:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (51:46):
You know what I mean? Like, no one's hold their major.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
No, And in fact, I don't even know why they're
making us pig majors at that age unless you feel
so strongly.

Speaker 2 (51:55):
Yeah, which, God blessed, you're one of the lucky ones
if you have that conviction.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
Yes. At that age, honey, I signed up for all
kinds of student loans, thinking like, this is fake money.
That was real money. That was real money. Someone had
to pay back.

Speaker 2 (52:10):
Absolutely I did not.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
Someone did. I didn't mind.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
This is why the text he said.

Speaker 1 (52:22):
There, I have court documents for her. No, what it
is that company like that had my loans actually like
was sued by the government and then my loans disappeared.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
Are you serious?

Speaker 1 (52:33):
I am as serious as a heart attack.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
You. I love this.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
The power of prayer power.

Speaker 2 (52:39):
Ji, prayer warriors rise to debate it. How are the
prayer warriors? I feel like you don't. You don't mobilize,
You don't call on them as much I.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Used to have you. I haven't been on the gram
in the same way.

Speaker 2 (52:51):
God blessed, have you been on the Gram? I'm not
in the same way. I feel like something, there's something
is really turned in the last couple of months.

Speaker 1 (52:58):
Right, and it doesn't feel right. No, no, but it doesn't. Also,
so here's I had like gotten it off my phone altogether,
and I was like, I'm not tripping genuinely started playing
my New York Times games even more trade in an
addiction for an addiction, but I was like, kind of
don't miss this not being on my phone, And then
I was like, but why do I also get the
vibe that like, we're not using this the same way anymore.

(53:20):
But but but it feels misinformed because I'm like, or
it's uninformed because I'm like I feel like people are
but for whatever reason, I'm like in my orbit, some
people that I like, really respect are just kind of
like not on it. They have it. It's not I
do respect you.

Speaker 2 (53:37):
That's all because no, there there was someone was saying like,
it's no longer social media, it's engagement media, which has
always been true, but in like an especially severe way recently,
it's like, oh, it's it's really just about whatever. Like
even all the things you're you're getting served in the
algorithm are like things that already have like forty thousand likes.

(53:59):
You're not You're not I'm not seeing things that are like, hey,
this is something you would like and it has like
twenty likes and yeah, and.

Speaker 1 (54:06):
That's what I gain. I feel like every once in
a while, I have this like existential feeling of like
I'm in a machine and all the things I'm mindlessly
engaging with and I don't just mean like engaging on
social I'm like, what is I'm just kind of going
through the motion touch phone and more like in morning
and I'm like, I don't like that. That can't be.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
So are you doing phone in the other room during bad.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
I need to get to that point. I need a
new alarm clock. So I have this Phillips sun thing
I bought when I got here that mimics the sun,
and it's old and they have new models, not any
new one. I do want phone in the other room.

Speaker 2 (54:38):
You were very in on the ground floor. You introduced
me to the happy.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
Light, the happy light, the sad light. Oh yeah, sad lights,
sad light, because I was like, my I when I
moved here, I was like, where's the sun. And I'm
so sensitive. I say I'm a plant and I'm like
so remarkably sensitive.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
Yeah too, monsterra Yeah, No, what plant are you?

Speaker 1 (54:58):
I want to say, I'm a birds of Paradise?

Speaker 2 (55:00):
Oh, love, of course you are.

Speaker 1 (55:03):
What are you? Don't be mean?

Speaker 2 (55:06):
No, I'm about to because I've murdered too many plants
to claim to.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
Don't say you're a succulent.

Speaker 2 (55:14):
No, that's that's I've killed succulents.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
You've killed succulents.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
I am right over there, bamboo, bamboo, plastic.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
Don't tell people that the plants in here are not real.
You and Al Roker telling people the plants. These are
real plants. They have been watered down.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
Yeah, it's got it's got the like ramen noodle, like
busen filler, like, it's got that stuff.

Speaker 1 (55:41):
A bamboo, but a bamboo. We make things out of you.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
Yes, you do you?

Speaker 1 (55:47):
Yes? Yeah? Okay, I like you as bamboo. Thank you
and thank you.

Speaker 2 (55:53):
Yeah. Like I'm I'm there, I'm on Fire Island. It's
it's there everywhere in Fire Island. Yeah, okay, we'll take it.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
We'll take it. I feel like I'm not mad. Aesthetically,
I think a real bamboo plant, not this fake one.
I'm going to say that. I'm going to just clarify.
I think that that fits for us. Now now for
some serious, real talk. I want to confront something that happened,
and I'm.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
Kidding, this is the this is the place to do it.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
So I wanted to talk to you about something that happened. No, Okay,
how are you feeling post show? Because I do think
that people want to know honest answer, how are you feeling?
Is it disorienting in any way or real talk? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Have well I can? I can I answer your question
with a question. Yes, Well, then that will then like
maybe either bind us together or separate, separate us. I
haven't really been able to watch the show.

Speaker 1 (56:54):
You haven't. Have you actively been avoid you mean.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
Like I'm not avoiding it. But this last week we're
in March, like I kind of like inundated myself, fire
hose myself with like new sensory experiences I eat travel.
So it was like Christmas then right into and that

(57:17):
was just like really you know, busy and sort of
hairy because of Christmas and we're buying gifts and we're
doing all the all these things. Then it was New
Year's right into this Japan. I took like eight of
my friends, seven of my friends to Japan as like
I couldn't have done the past seven years without you,
like let's let's like please come come with me. And

(57:39):
that was two weeks. And then after that was Milan
for work for for this, for this network, and Milan
was wonderful, once in a lifetime experience to go to
the Olympics. It was still the Olympics. It was crazy, Yeah,
just logistically and you know, stimulating. And then this antarct
trit trip because it was my parents' is like it's

(58:00):
like my parents bucketlest strip and I was like, I'll
go with you, the three of us, and I'm fine.
I got back like a week and a half ago,
and so I'm so last week was the first show
where I was like, oh, I'm in I'm here and
the show's happening like you're not there, and I'm not
there where I'm like across the river and I'm like
spatially kind of relatively close. And that was weird. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
Eight years of eight years seven seven total years.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
Of seven and a half of doing that.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
Yeah, this is what I do every Saturday during this time.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
During this time in New York City, and that was
so I guess I don't know yet, but so first
so good. I feel like it's it'll it'll all be okay.
Like it just I feel like I it all happened

(58:53):
the way it was supposed to, and like, but it
was a thing where it was like, oh, I've lived
through not literal seasons, but like and like the in
like metaphorical seasons here where I'm like, oh, I remember
when it was defined by a time when these people
were here and then they left, and then these people
here were here and then they left, and like I
think I should just very consciously with love like make

(59:19):
way and like not take up too much error and here. Yeah,
and like, honest to god, it was and like I
hope you receive this. It was like, oh man, like
King isn't here, and like my close friends, the people
I laughed the most with have have moved on, and
it just it just felt kind of the winds were

(59:42):
blowing in that direction different.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
Yeah, yeah, I can imagine. Yeah. It is interesting that
when you come in you're so like, I'm you here,
this is so crazy, I'm here, and then you get
so accustomed to it and so in a flow and
so entrenched in it, and then you're like, wait, I'm
the senior. Now that ship was when you're like, oh,
I'm the seedor now when did that happen?

Speaker 2 (01:00:03):
It's not like school and systems that we are used to.
It's like it's delineated by year. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
Yeah, and so it's like that happens and then you're like, okay,
am how am I? Am I still the same zeal?
Do I still have the same zeal for it? And
you have to check yourself there. It's like am I
just taking up space? Am I taking up space because
I feel I can? And am I? Am I feeling
inspired still? I mean coming up with pitches, I was like,

(01:00:29):
I don't, I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
Know, I don't have it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
I don't have it this week or next week or
this week. And then there's a pattern, so yeah, it
makes it makes sense that you're like, oh, these people
were gone too, and it just felt like the winds
were blowing in that that way.

Speaker 2 (01:00:44):
Like you were very I'm sure you've heard this from
many different people, but like in the fall, it was
like you were very missed. Thank you for me especially,
it's like, oh, like it just it is so important,
and then it informs something about this place, like the
way that place is populated is very very important.

Speaker 1 (01:01:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I do actually, which I feel
like I hope we're not speaking in code or something
like yeah, and I okay, because I'm like that is
so accurate and I hadn't thought of it that way,
like the way this place is populated is so important.
It is like it so informs your experience. And I
think about our crew and like our stage managers and

(01:01:29):
head of hair and tom and wardrobe, and I'm like,
they've seen this happen like a thousand times over I know.
So I'm like, are they totally immune to it? And
we send like love you and miss you text but
I'm like, are they I believe they love and miss me,
But I'm like, you've done this before. I've done this
one time leaving, but you've had so many people leave
over the years that you've grown attached to for years

(01:01:51):
at a time. I'm like, I don't know how they
do it.

Speaker 2 (01:01:55):
I think they just know that it's like a beautiful
gilded that is just gonna keep moving and like everyone's
getting off at different stops and but they know. Yeah,
but it was I was, oh my god, I'm gonna
put him on blast. But Ken Tola, like I've never

(01:02:15):
seen this man like besides like be jovial and great
and whatever, and like Ken Ken Sublet like legendary writer
and he's he's normally just like pretty like you know,
just it all just like I would say, like lovably,
charmingly surly sometimes just and he and we were just
saying goodbye at my last show and he started he

(01:02:37):
like was tearing up and I was like, Kent, I
was like, I never it was just people like that
that is something that like I remember where It's like, oh,
like these are the things that I will always cherish
about this place. It was again so beautiful and it
was a really like stimulating job. But like the thing

(01:03:00):
that I will kind of take away from it, and
I'm sure you feel the same. It's like the people,
the way that that place is populated is the thing
that I.

Speaker 1 (01:03:09):
Yeah, do you have anything you like? This is not
meant to be funny, like any like regrets there?

Speaker 2 (01:03:15):
Yeah, yeah, totally.

Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
Do you care to share any like yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
Oh my god. I just I give I give myself
and everybody honestly a lot of grace because it's such
a high pressure job and every week feels like it's
the most important week. I sometimes mostly this is honest
to God, I'm like I should have worked harder. I

(01:03:39):
should have Like especially I've watched sketches of the of
the shows that I've since I've left, and I'm like, Oh,
this person's doing such a great job and hitting all
these marks and doing all these things, and I do
start to retroactively go like, oh, I should have really
like put more work into these sketches and really like

(01:04:02):
delivered this clean lay or something. But then you remember
that like that show is so at the mercy of
the collective mood of like the audience that sits down,
and the audience will change as you know, to address
an air between Wednesday and draft, but like so many
stage gates of either complete approval or complete rejection, and

(01:04:28):
it is very hard to not be at the mercy
of that. My regrets are mostly like I could have
I don't know. This is like the science student in US,
where I'm like, I could have worked harder, I could
have the report card, could have come back even better.

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
I think the audience is gonna go, what the hell
is he talking? No?

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
Okay, I I like not being totally am I being
a little bit like.

Speaker 1 (01:04:51):
Because I do think people are gonna be like, what
he did great? What it like?

Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
No? No, no, go back and watch any sketch. I'm
like tripping on my line. I don't know where to
look like it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
I think it's part of the dance. I don't know.
I think we worked really hard and I think there's
a reason there's only been so many people on that
show in so many years. It's like it's a really
hard job. And as much as people critique the work
that's done there, I low key want to be like, honey,
you're not in the arena and you like and I
said it with love, and maybe before I got here,

(01:05:23):
I might have been a keyboard warrior with all kinds
of opinions. But then when you my big my, my
big thing. I did say this on on Caleb Parent's
podcast once just in general, like anyone's take about like
someone should have they didn't. This is not as funny
as that you have no idea? So what I what
I you have no idea? I was, like I said

(01:05:43):
on this podcast, I was like, in general, would love
to see people just have a little more. Perhaps empathy
is the word, but it's namely to be like, you
might not have all the information, and chances are you
probably don't have all the information, and so like when
I see these really hot and strong takes, I'm like,
number one, baby, you're not in the arena. Another way
for me to say that is you could never with

(01:06:04):
all due love and respect, you could never love you. You
probably have your strengths, You probably have your strengths, but
I mean like you, yeah exactly, I couldn't do what
you do. But the notion like you have no idea
how many moving parts. Even when I see people be
like that person's not funny, that person's not talented, and
that person I'm like, this show respectfully, it was not

(01:06:25):
like a meritocracy. It wasn't like the fun you we
There's so many sketches I saw at table read that
I'm like, this is the funniest thing I've ever heard read.
We haven't even seen costumes yet, we haven't even seen
a set. This is the funniest thing. And it's not
gonna go for a myriad of reasons that are beyond it.
We weren't always putting the funniest thing or person up.
That's just not how it works. And I'm like, oh god,

(01:06:47):
that's I thank you. No, no, no, But it wasn't about
It's not about me with Asha Ward but it's but
but also not even about me. I'm talking like things
like Sam jay I saw right Gary right, No, yeah,
So I'm like, it's just it's not that I know,
but it does serve a purpose the show, and it's
it speaks to its audience and it knows its audience
and so but then I feel like at some point

(01:07:09):
in the show I got I used to get very protective.
I'm like, but you're not there, you don't know, so
the whole like this person's this, this person's not this.
I'm like, you don't know, and you could never.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
My well, yes, I completely agree with you. And my
sort of sort of a companion take that I always
say is it's a sketch show. Yeah, it's it is
not going to like unearth some like societal truth that

(01:07:37):
shatters your sort of concept of like what comedy can
be and what it should be. Sometimes it is just
frivolous and yeah, like and on that note, it's like
it's really hard to sort of like come. It's like,
my favorite thing about comedy, and I say this all

(01:07:58):
the time, is that there's no universal definite of what
funny is. It is always an experiment. You never know
what's going to work until it's in front of an audience,
and then when it does work, it's the best thing ever.
I will always say I will. I've said this many
times before on the record, Like I had to fly

(01:08:20):
to London right after the first lease it from Temecula Show,
right after that Paper Pascal show, and I just and
I was like in a very like dissociated place in
that time because it was just a lot of back
and forth. But I remember landing in London and it
like it just steadily growing and growing and growing in
the way that like people were like, oh my god,
this is like the funniest thing ever. And I was
like this. I was like I told myself, I was like,

(01:08:43):
this just made so many hard things worth it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:47):
Oh, thank you. That was a very wow.

Speaker 2 (01:08:50):
That is one of the that's there's just so many
things about that sketch and that show in particular.

Speaker 1 (01:08:55):
Yeah, the energy Pedrobot brought to the show and me
saying it was such like sadness no, but I'm just like, man,
it's it's pretty That was thank you first of all,
but it was so cool getting to do that stupid, stupid, stupid,
silly thing and the amount of joy it brought me.
And it sounds like you like, there's nothing like that feeling.

(01:09:19):
There's nothing like that feeling and sometimes it does just
go that well. And then sometimes it's like, yeah, this
is pretty funny, and somebody else is gonna think this
thing and that you think is mid is hilarious, Like
it's so, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:09:30):
What's it? What's an underappreciated you?

Speaker 1 (01:09:33):
And I'm gonna throw that back to you. Yes, I'm
gonna say, hold on, hold on.

Speaker 2 (01:09:40):
Are appropriately appreciated for the most part, I.

Speaker 1 (01:09:42):
Think properly appreciated. I'm gonna I this is right before COVID,
this is right before I really enjoyed this me as
Cookie Laflue Daniel Craig, last episode before COVID, Don't Eat
the Foil, And I I know the take on that
sketch looks as though we are making fun of No,

(01:10:05):
I'm obsessed with Patty for not dropping the paper on
the cupcake thing. I'm obsessed with it. So I recognize
that the take looks like that. It's more than I
just think. I think it's funny to not drop it.

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
I'm not laughing trying. You're not laughing at PA.

Speaker 1 (01:10:17):
I'm laughing with you. And I love that You're like, No,
I'm not letting this shit go because that was crazy.
I was gonna eat the paper, the hell paper bad.
I was like, yeah, who are you talking to? Like,
why are you talking? It's a grown woman's the legend,
that's probably. But I'm like, the world shut down. I
mean not that I think that would have been anyway

(01:10:38):
gone viral, but I'm like, I loved that sketch. I
loved my collar, my outfit. And then the world shut
down days later, and we were doing sketches in our home.

Speaker 2 (01:10:45):
But then, didn't you think like I think I had?
I did a just a crazy fucking update feature that show.
I was bottle boy. Oh I remember why I spoken
of like Asians. But I was like, and that was

(01:11:06):
the last ever week take featured, and.

Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
I and that's the last thing. I feel like so
many times I felt that though, being like, the last
thing people saw me was this thing that I'm not
I'm not proud of and any on any given on
any given week, being like, I'm not proud of this thing,
and it's been they're just I mean, there's sketches people
were like that Obviously people have been upset about and

(01:11:33):
you're like, oh, yea, the intention there was not that,
and and I see why you're upset but like also
so much happens between dressing and that's out of my contrust. No, no,
but I'm like that's the last thing they'll see of me.
There's so much of that. And like we would have
a show and then go into three way hiatus and
you'd be like, well, that was it. That's Do you

(01:11:53):
have anything that you think was underappreciated besides bottle Boy, bottle.

Speaker 2 (01:11:58):
Maybe over appreciate. I think I really love even though
like the audience and the studio is like huh, I
like the Garrett from Hinges, Yeah, just because they were
it was that and that was like me and like

(01:12:18):
the the police An't destroyed boys kind of like trying
to come up with like the most disgusting type of
like Inselly Boy, there is yeah, just but of course
that doesn't play. That's not gonna be like a knee
slapper in an age like no one knows, yes, Like
it's it's just like this is an uncomfortable person.

Speaker 1 (01:12:37):
It's like, no matter what you do, you can't kill
you can't.

Speaker 2 (01:12:40):
You can't kill these people. Or he's just barging into
people's bedrooms. He's like showing up at people's weddings. And
like he's he's like, so you want we were supposed
to go on a date. But like, I think that's
that's something that I it's not underappreciate. I think it happened.

Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
No, you love it more than I feel like it was.
Is that fair? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:12:59):
Sure, but I think that's totally normal. Yeah, And like,
isn't it wonderful to just even talk about this? In hindsight,
I think it is.

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
I'm gonna say it is.

Speaker 2 (01:13:11):
Clip that clip that has it been like two hours?
I could do this?

Speaker 1 (01:13:15):
You want to go home? So polite that he's like, okay, bitch.

Speaker 2 (01:13:20):
No no, no, no, no, no. And this is this is
something I learned in Japan.

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:13:24):
So the difference between like Tokyo people and Kyoto people
is if you're at someone's house in Tokyo and they
want you to leave, they'll be like, well, I've got
an early morning.

Speaker 1 (01:13:33):
Normal guys do too.

Speaker 2 (01:13:34):
Yeah, totally in Kyoto this is I think this is
so cheek and I think I encourage everyone to adopt this.
It's just to be like so anyway, oh, that's such
a nice watch. And then you get the person to
look at the thank you and then they go oh
and oh it's late.

Speaker 1 (01:13:51):
They don't what if you don't have what if you
don't have a watch. So like in this room, you
just did the Kyoto thing to me, be like, oh my.

Speaker 2 (01:13:59):
God, oh no, no, I didn't.

Speaker 1 (01:14:01):
This has been two hours. I can do this all day.
Do you want to do this all? David?

Speaker 2 (01:14:07):
Is supposed to be one hour?

Speaker 1 (01:14:08):
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (01:14:11):

Bleep! with Ana Navarro

Bleep! with Ana Navarro

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
