Speaker 1 (00:01):
Mexico money. I still speaking. I thought should not have
made it to the rest of us. This is Inside Thoughts.
Let's get.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Chuck, Chuck Chuck, We're live, baby, Welcome back to Inside Thoughts.
Got a great interview for you at the end of
the podcast, as always with comedian Lewis Black. And first
of all, I just got to say shout out to
Lewis Black for like give me the times I got
to be honest, Like sometimes when I talk to you know,
more famous people, I always get worried that, you know,
(00:40):
like I have a short window of time. Nine times
out of ten, they're the ones who just want to
talk for like fifteen twenty minutes. Might I go Okay?
I thought I had, like, you know, five minutes to
ask you my dumb questions. But he was cool man.
So got that interview for you at the end of
the podcast. He's hilarious. Hope you're doing good. Hope everything's great. Sorry,
(01:00):
the podcast is a day late. They're working me like
a dog, so I didn't have time to do it yesterday.
So I was driving all around, going to trunk retreats
and doing the stuff that I normally got to do.
But it's Halloween. So I hope you had a bunch
of candy. I hope your dentist is getting a nice call.
November one, it's Mariah Carey Day, It's Dennis Day. Go
(01:25):
to the dentists. I don't care about Christmas. We got
a while until that happens. Make sure you get all
those cavities knocked out of there so that when your
grandma asked you to smile for a family picture, it
doesn't look like you've just been munching meth, you know
what I mean, or chewing on illuminum. You're just like, oh,
I got pearly whites. I wasn't needing all the receas.
Do that?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Do that.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I hope you're doing good, though. I gotta start off
with this. I got irrationally angry at a Chick fil
A the other day. And I know, first of all, like,
what are you doing at Chick fil A? Fat bastard? Well,
I didn't have enough time. Yeah, that's not an excuse.
I was being fat, That's what I was doing. I
was being fat and contributing to Chick fil A's empire
(02:07):
where they apparently have enough money to make movies and
TV shows now. But that's not the point. When you
pull up to this Chick fil A that I go to,
they have like a whiteboard with like a random fact
of the day, or are you a mountain or a
beach kind of person? You sit there while you're waiting
in a line for your chicken nuggets, like I do
like the beach more than the bountains. It's stupid. But
they had this random fact up there and it said
(02:32):
hippos can't swim. And this is the first time I've
ever seen something in a fast food line, and I
had to Google it because I was like, I think
Chick fil A's lying to me. You mean to tell
me this is not the Lord's chicken. No, I believe that.
But what I don't believe is hippos can't swim. So
I had to google it, and even Google says, no,
(02:54):
hippos cannot swim. They were unable to swim or breathe underwater,
and they're so dense that they can't float. Instead, hippos
move through the water by walking or running along the
bottom of the rivers. So you know what I did next?
I had to google what is swimming? Hold on swimming
definition because the sport or activity of propelling oneself through
(03:18):
water using limbs. They move through water by walking or
running along the bottom of the river. What that's swimming, dude,
Hippos can swim. This made me mad, not not that
Chick fil A's got enough money to make movies, but
also they're pushing this propaganda that hippos can't swim. I'd
never seen a hippo drown. They're in water all the time.
(03:40):
That's most of the videos you see of hippos is
that they're in the water, like chasing people. You gotta
watch outs or nose pops up and you're like, oh,
hippo's over there, don't go over there. They'll eat the
whole boat. Hippos can swim, And it made me even
more mad. The Google said, well they can't, and then
under it said, yeah, hippos can swim. Use the definition
(04:00):
of swimming is moving through water using your limbs. What
are they doing. They're moving, They're traversing through the water,
but it's on your bottom. They're not bullying and you
have to throat. Don't care swimming you actually walking under what.
I don't know why that made me so mad, Probably
because I'm under a lot of stress and I have
(04:25):
to get emails from people that drive me up the wall.
I'll say this. I'll say this one. I'm sorry for
being angry, but two people that never got over high
school are some of the most dangerous human beings on
the planet. I don't know. First of all, if you're
listening to this right now and you're in high school
and you're thinking it'll end someday, not won't because majority
(04:47):
of the people that go to high school just keep
thinking that way the whole time. Like the amount of
people you can tell something about somebody talking to him
for like twenty thirty minutes, you can be like, Okay,
I can get a feel for this person. A lot
of people are stuck in, and especially the industry I'm in,
are stuck in like, oh well I wasn't as cool
(05:07):
as I want to be in high school. So know
that I got some power. I'm gonna flex it. I'm
telling you, like radio people and cops are the two
most dangerous human beings on the planet when it comes
to not getting over high school. I like, it drives
me up the walk because cops that you know, I
know I'm generalizing, but a lot of them are like, well,
I was super cool in high school, and I got
this power and now I'm on the user to keep
(05:28):
throwing people in walkers only. Now I got a gun.
That's like if you got a boss right now. And
they're just like, here's the thing about radio. I'll tell
you this radio is a super cool job. It's also
not a real serious job. You want to know why
we're playing music and we're talking about well, the biggest
cookie ever was made today. That's what we're doing. And
we're giving you free tickets and stuff. That is what
(05:51):
the job is. But some people like acting like we
control music. We have to know you don't control music.
Have you ever played an instrument in your entire life? No?
You have it? Can you play an instrument? Or are
you just like getting hammered drunk and talking to country
singers going, oh, I could have been to Nashville. Shut up.
I just like to get over high school. I'm telling you, bro,
(06:13):
it happened. It's gone. Those mean bullies can't get you
anymore because now they're you know, they're divorced. They have
drinking problems too. Let it go, it's gonna be okay.
Go therapy. How about that? How about we do that
matter of fact, the Bowies had bullied you in high school. Actually,
they're probably doing pretty good right about now. I'm not
gonna lie, cause it just seems like that is how
(06:36):
it goes. I don't know. It's been driving me up
the wall. I have so many more different bosses, all
texting me and emailing me the same thing. Like I
feel like office space has become my new reality where
it's like, well, you know, I have eight different bosses,
so I just gotta work just hard enough to be
(06:57):
left alone. That's like, oh my goodness, I'm sorry, I'm
talking about nothing. Let's talk about something that's made me happy.
Gambling is rigged. Sports are rigged for money. I've seen
it happy with my own eyes. Bro, I've seen it.
What did Aysha Curry say? This is rigged for money?
I've seen it with my own eyes. I can't be
(07:18):
quiet any longer. Oh my goodness, bro, I had no Seriously,
I mean, it's probably rigged a little bit, but or
like the reps are in on it a little bit.
But I don't actually think it's like rigged to the
point where like your uncle last Thanksgiving was like, oh see,
the Illuminati already picked the Super Bowl Colors already picked away.
(07:40):
It's gonna be the forty nine Ers and the Chiefs,
and the Chiefs are gonna win because Taylor Swift. Yeah.
I don't think it's rigged like that. I just some
things make me scratch my head a little bit, like Okay,
Monday Night Steelers Giants, a game I would normally never
care about, but I bought into the addiction of gambling
because it's fun, you feel alive. It's beautiful. By the way,
(08:02):
go to DraftKings. Use code B ninety three nine. You
get two hundred and fifty bucks. If you spend five bucks,
we'll get the plug. All right, So Monday Night Steelers Giants,
I got Steelers money line. I got Russell Wilson plus
one seventy five passing yards, Daniel Jones plus one fifty
passing yards, Tyrone Tracy plus fifty rushing yards, Najie Harris
(08:24):
plus fifty uh rushing yards, and George Pickens anytime touchdown.
This is an easy cash in the money. Go I'm
taking this is a hit bet. I cannot lose this bet,
said every guy who's ever ever. I seriously, I can't
lose everything hits except George Pickens anytime touchdown. They called
(08:47):
back not one, but two George Pickens touchdowns and then
you know what happened. One of them was a penalty, sure,
whatever the referees can do that. You know, holding happens
on every play, doesn't it. But the second one, he
literally caught the ball, tapped one foot, tapped the same
foot again, did a little Irish water tap dance whatever
(09:10):
that dance is called, in the end zone, but only
with one foot, so it didn't count, and that took
that away. I've lost money, Nick, How much did you lose?
Ten dollars? But that's not the point. Vegas is rigging
sports so that I lose ten dollars, That's what's going on.
I'm gonna go post on my YouTube Illuminati channel. I
(09:34):
can't wait to go to Thanksgiving and just ask all
my loved ones what their craziest conspiracy theory is. It's
never not funny. I'm just saying, bro, Like what one
time I was I was in Vegas for one of
my best friend's bachelor parties, and you know, we did
(09:56):
a little bit of gambling and I of course lost.
I was up, but stupid we kept going, so I
was drunk. I was having a good time. I didn't care,
but like lost like all my money, broke. My phone.
Had to call an old cab not an ubercause my
phone was broken. I needed to get to the airport
to get on my flight phones. Broke. Cab picks me up.
(10:18):
I have like sixty bucks left. The cab was like
fifty five bucks. I don't know how those things are
still in business because they're so expensive. But anyway, I
get in there and the guy was like, what was
your trip? And I was like it was good, man,
it was good. You know, just lost the whole bunch
of money, but you know, it was fun. And he
points out over the Vegas skyline. He goes, my friend,
do you see all these buildings and they go yeah.
(10:40):
He goes, they were built by people like you, and
I was like, ah, yeah, I am the stupid one.
I do fund the building of cities, specifically in last Vegas,
because I suck. I get mad when I see people
post like, oh, we want thousands of adult Yeah go
for you, dude, not me. I'm bad at it because
even like when I'm being smart about it, I lose
(11:04):
because NFL must be rigged. Oh my goodness. Yeah, that's
that's wild. But you all to know what else is wild.
I'm telling you you got to watch other people's social
media algorithms like TikTok, just to see what life's like
outside of your view, outside of your algorithm. Like girl,
(11:27):
TikTok is wild. I'll watch I'll watch my girls videos
every once in a while. She'll be scrolling. I'll just
be watching watching rich hot people is way too popular
like that that's all it is. And it'll be like, hey,
come get ready with me and look at what I
do in two hours. You suck because you don't have
(11:48):
as much money as me. And look how popular and
pretty I am. Like it's crazy it this thing will
have like millions of views and it's just some hot
girl putting like makeup on and making a smoothie and
making coffee and then also working out. It's weird, like
why do we like doing that? You're just sitting there like,
(12:09):
oh yeah, I could do that, and it's like no,
I didn't realize how much stuff like girls have to
use or not have to, but girls use like to
just put on their faces like not I just thought
it was just makeup. But there's like the moisturizer. But
there's the pre moisturizer and then the post moisturizer, and
then you also have to scrape that off with a rock. Yeah,
(12:30):
and you got to do all this stuff and then
you put your makeup on and then you take it
all out. And it's like, I understand why Kylie Jenner
and Rihanna are worth a billion dollars because makeup is
insanely expensive. But that's all it is. Just like those
get Ready with Me videos, it's just rich, good looking
people and it's way too popular. I want to see
(12:50):
I want to see like the poorest people get ready, Like, hey,
get ready with me today. I'm on my last serving
of this Captain crunchbox that I stole from publics. I
would much rather watch that because there's like some kind
of there's a storyline going. You know, where's this person
going after? Are they getting more Captain Crunch. I don't
want to see Bethany get ready in her two million
(13:13):
dollar home while she's putting on seventeen fenty items, you
know what I mean. I don't see that all right. Anyway,
let's get to uh, your headline of the week. I
just had it. Where did it go? Where did it go?
Where did it go?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Speaking of money, the top money making baby names were released,
so like the names of people that have made the
most money in the world were released. So the story
was basically like, Hey, if you want your baby to
be successful, name them one of these names. The top
five names are John, David, Thomas, Michael, and Wang and
(13:55):
they all made millions of dollars. But then the article says,
of course, our success is more likely driven by other factors.
Whether you name your child Mark, Michael or something completely different,
the key to success likely has more to do with opportunity, innovation,
and determination than what's written on their birth certificate. Oh really,
you mean you got a network and maybe I don't know,
(14:17):
get born to a billionaire family. You ready with me?
I make a cup of coffee. My name's Wang. Yeah, whatever,
All right, let's get to this interview with comedian Lewis Black.
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Lewis every day? Joy pul every day? You know, I'm
so excited that they're gonna tell me today what they
think the polls are. If they don't shut up for
one day, just one day, shut up, otherwise I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Well, I'm glad. You know that you're doing good, So
I mean, you got to be getting excited. You know,
you're just on the Daily Show giving us hope about
the election coming up. Anything else will be happy about.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
You know that my Washington commanders are doing well and
my uh and I've won a couple of kids in
fantasy football, the one distraction I have left that's all
unbelievable that I put my time and I sit there
on Sunday like a zombie, watching game after game players.
I don't even know I'm rooting for teams. I don't
(15:23):
even like.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yeah, it's a it's a beautiful thing when you can
just kind of zone out on a couch for nine
hours every Sunday, lose money gambling and playing fantasy, and
then Monday you open up the crypt of despair. It's
it's nice man, right.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And it's you know, and it's nice too that they've
given us twelve place to gamble. They have more gambling
sites and and will you explain to me how how
these uh you know, the NFL is involved with a
gambling site. What come on, guys, and.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
These pretend, Yeah, it's not even close to acting like
it's a straight and narrow anymore. So like, hey, we're
gonna cut the commercial break after this blown call brought
to you by DraftKings, We'll be back. It's ridiculous, man,
But all right, I want to talk about your tour
coming to d Pak and Durham Goodbye yell Er Brick Road,
(16:16):
the final tour of this Friday. I got a few questions,
is this really the final tour you've done after this?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Well, I mean, I'm not going to tour anymore. But
I was doing, you know, even now before it ends
in March, I got another fifty shows. I'm not doing
that anymore. I might show up somewhere and do a show, right,
I mean, I know in October coming down the road.
From March to October, I've got no gigs, and I'll
(16:43):
do a couple of gigs, but I'm not gonna be,
you know, every week returning to your town. I was
coming back to Durham every year and a half two years,
you know, and I'm gonna I'm going to The nice
thing is is I'm gonna spend a little more time
in that area now that now that I'm done with that,
(17:05):
and I'm gonna spend time writing and then do you know,
And I'll do my brand cast and I'm still gonna
be on the Daily Show. I'm not retiring from life,
but I'm not I'm not gonna spend four days every
weekend trying to find a hotel room.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Well that's good, crazy, yeah, I mean, I'm sure you
racked up a bunch of points though, like you got
the Marriotte points, the red roof and I don't know
where you stay, but you got to Yeah, no, I.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Got I got but to be split it all up,
so it's just enough to be meaningless. You get one,
I get a I can take the soap with me.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
That's good. You know, you gotta look at the bright
side of things. But I'm glad to know that you're
still gonna be doing stuff because I read the Final
Tour and kind of made me nervous for a second.
But I didn't know if it was going to be like, oh,
the Rolling Stones Final Tour, you know, in nineteen ninety
four or whatever, and then you know, you keep going
till twenty thirty. But I'm glad that.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yeah, I won't do that to people. I mean really literally,
it was one way to tell everybody because you know,
especially the last few years and with the pandemic and on,
you're you know, people still expect, well, I'll see him
the next time. Well, it don't count.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
On it, right right, I got you. Now I got
to ask about the name of the tour Goodbye Yeller
Brick Road. Are you Old Yeller walk in to see
uh the wizard? Or is he going to put you
out of his misery? Or are you putting the wizard
out of the what's the meaning behind him?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I'm putting him? I'm in a yell a man of
It's well, you know, part of it is just that
that yellow and yellow because I did do a uh,
I did a CD in a special called Old Yeller, right,
and so it's it's basically referring back to that. But
also uh and I also I saw it, you know,
(18:55):
and it was a rip off of Velton thing and
it made you're a great poster.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Okay, I got you. So that's what I was wondering.
I was like, all right, what kind of artistic stuff
are we getting into with this name here?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
So that's called not that you know me, I'm not artistic.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
See you you like playing that off, But also you
know you're a player right you start, you've been doing
this forever like that. Don't sell yourself short on actually
having a thought and going, yeah, I'm gonna do this
because it's cool and I thought about it. Now true
I do. I do have to ask because we're going
into holiday season, a lot of people are going to
(19:34):
be around a lot of relatives that believe a lot
of things that they see on the internet. So I
wanted to ask, what would your advice be to people
dealing with family members that believe the weather is controlled
by the government.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
And I tell them that fifty years ago in when
times when when people kind of realized what was going on,
when people said that they if they would be put
in a psychiatric clinic. Okay, if you think the weather's
controlled by you know, anyone other than maybe possibly the
(20:11):
Lord Almighty, you're an idiot and you need to be
you need to be strapped down for a while, okay.
And the way to deal with some of those family members,
especially if you're going into a house where they're all
going to be not this misinformation, disinformation, which has got
to stop. Stop calling it that it's called lying while
(20:32):
making stuff up misinformation. It sounds as if you know oh,
we thought about doing. You know, you didn't think about it.
You lied. You wouldn't accept this kind of if you're
if you're seven year old told you this stuff, you
wouldn't listen to them. You know, basically I would. I
(20:53):
would if you're going to go to that type of
a dinner, we're aluminum boiling. And if they ask, why
did you tell them? It's a secret, it's a very
special thing. And I'll be getting extra money because I
wear this oil.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Now, that'll drive them up the wall. They'll be all
over X and TikTok trying to figure out what the
secret is.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
I don't get how people. It's hard enough dealing with
day to day reality. Now you're gonna make stuff up.
You're insane.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Well stop it. I gotta be honest. It's funny because
I'm thirty one. So when I was growing up, I
was kind of like my generation was getting into the internet,
and our parents always told us, hey, don't believe anything
you see on the internet, and they even made commercials
about it, and it was the joke. And I don't
know at what point it changed, but now the older
generations believe ninety nine percent of the stuff on the
(21:48):
Internet as long as it's directed into you know what
they already believe. I just I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I don't either, because I'm seventy six. Anybody who's seventy
five or over. First off, you know, basically, you've got
to pri something is wrong with you. Go get up today.
If you believe everything that you're looking at on that screen,
go to a doctor. Go to a doctor and get
(22:18):
some pills. Okay, jackasses.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Yeah, I'm all for bringing back the looney bins.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Man.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I think we need to do.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I do too. Enough is enough? You know they we're
trying to have an election and people are living in
separate realities. Well, it doesn't work that way. And how
did I learn that? When I was on LSD. That's
how I learned that.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, everybody needs to just you know, chill out. Understand
we're on the same vibration. Man, It's fine, it's fine.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Thank you. That's the That's gonna probably be the smartest
thing I've heard today.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Well, if you're.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Listening, audience will be fleeing into the streets because of it.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I got you, bro. Now you're gonna be a Durham.
You come to Durham all the time. Do you ever
feel nervous walking around Duke Country being a tar heel?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Nah? Okay, they don't know. They can't tell, you know.
They just they consense that smarter people in the area.
They don't know why.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Hey, that's the clip right there. I appreciate you give
me that. I might have some Duke fangof ah man,
we're just as smart as in tar heels. I appreciate
you all right. Now, I got to ask a selfish question.
We were talking about, you know, how you create your craft,
because I know you started writing plays, you did stand
up comedy, You've had this great career, So just personally,
(23:42):
I want to know, how do you bring your act together?
Like do you go big to small or small to big?
Like do you see an idea and you want to
delve into every part of it or there's just like
a couple of small ideas that you have and then
you realize that there's something to tie them in together.
How do you do that when you're bringing your act?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Well, well that's a good question. Now what I do
is I work? First off, I write on stage, so
like so the P Diddy stuff happened, which I won't
talk about because it's it's beyond disturbing. But that you know,
Sean puff Ad or whatever he calls himself. Hem, I'm
(24:22):
watching that one morning and I'm sitting here and I'm going,
oh my god. And then I just I didn't really
write anything. I just took here's here's the notes, and
then I go on stage and just start I look
at the notes during the day and then I just
kind of talked through it, and then I talked through
it again the next night and the next night, and
then I take that little chunk and if it fits
(24:43):
with another little chunk, and essentially I start with just
like you say, little chunks, and then I start tying
those chunks together. But what things are so insane out
there that I literally have gotten to the point where
I was rolling along and I thought I had the
act that I was gonna have. If you said three
(25:04):
weeks ago, what are you going to do in in Durham,
I would have said a variety of things. Well, within
a week, twenty minutes came up. These people have got
to slow down.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah, or you know that?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
And idiot, you've got running for off that junior, that
Lieutenant Governor Mark Wow. Wow, Wow, the only person on
a porn site who's typing.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Yeah, you got to be pretty diabolically horny to be
leaving comments on porn websites.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Man, you really unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yeah, and even dumber to be weaving your actual name
on there while you're doing it. It's just, yeah, it
doesn't make sense anymore. But I'm no. I appreciate you
for giving everybody that insight into how your act comes together,
because that's that's fascinating to me. So I appreciate that. Man.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, well I always tried, and the end, when I'm
putting it all together, what I want to do, whether
they're conscious of it or not, I'm trying to tell
a story.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Right right, all right? So what if you could summarize
if you if you want to give it away or
if not, what is the overarching theme for the show
at Deepak this Friday.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Wow? At this point, I'm not really sure, except that
the overriding theme really is is that we're uh, it's
hard to satirize what's already satiric. You know that, you
know Mark Robinson did that Lieutenant Governor if you read
about him in a book, you know is a fictional book.
(26:43):
You go guy that this is a funny book, but
it's real. I don't even have to do anything. The
story that I tell Robert Kennedy's story about the little
bear he picked up that was, you know, because he
was going to eat some roadkill. I just tell. All
I do is tell the story. I don't have to
make anything up. They make it too easy. So that's
(27:07):
what they're gonna hear. And they're gonna hear that they're
not crazy. Uh, we're not crazy. They are well, And
I don't care what side you're on. There's a day
out there, okay, And I'm representing both sides, and they're
the ones who are nuts.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Well, I'm not us. I'm glad you said that because
everybody likes to do the finger point thing. And it's like, well,
I mean, don't you think there's somebody that's lying in
both pockets? Doesn't that make sense? Yes, wellbelievable. It's crazy, man, Lewis,
is there anything else that you want to plug or
promote for I'll let you get out of here.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Just my rant cast. If you go to Lewis black
dot com you start sending in some rents. If I
get a chance and Durham. I'll read them, but but
just to if you go there, you can find out
how to listen to it. Basically. I mean every week
I read rants written by other people, you know, written
(28:07):
by just folks. And it doesn't have to be about
like politics or something important. People out there are screaming
about things like they don't want pickles on their bike
and it breaks them.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Well, I'm glad that people are getting back to the
little things that anger them in life. It's a lot
easier to wrap your arms around, you.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Know, and remember. And the reason I partly do this
is because you remember, you don't yell at people. You
yell at inanimate objects. That's good, that's what they're there for.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah, that's good advice. Man. Well he was. I just
want to say what a pleasure it was. They'll be
able to talk to you, and I really appreciate you
taking the time to hop on the show man.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It was my pleasure and thank you very very much
for your time, and I look forward to coming to Durham.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
No problem, go Murder this Friday, d PAK Goodbye, Yell
or Break the final tour Lewis Black, Thanks
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Louis, thank you, Thanks to go money for money, for
go money, for go money,
Mexico money. I still speaking. I thought should not have
made it to the rest of us. This is Inside Thoughts.
Let's get.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Chuck, Chuck Chuck, We're live, baby, Welcome back to Inside Thoughts.
Got a great interview for you at the end of
the podcast, as always with comedian Lewis Black. And first
of all, I just got to say shout out to
Lewis Black for like give me the times I got
to be honest, Like sometimes when I talk to you know,
more famous people, I always get worried that, you know,
(00:40):
like I have a short window of time. Nine times
out of ten, they're the ones who just want to
talk for like fifteen twenty minutes. Might I go Okay?
I thought I had, like, you know, five minutes to
ask you my dumb questions. But he was cool man.
So got that interview for you at the end of
the podcast. He's hilarious. Hope you're doing good. Hope everything's great. Sorry,
(01:00):
the podcast is a day late. They're working me like
a dog, so I didn't have time to do it yesterday.
So I was driving all around, going to trunk retreats
and doing the stuff that I normally got to do.
But it's Halloween. So I hope you had a bunch
of candy. I hope your dentist is getting a nice call.
November one, it's Mariah Carey Day, It's Dennis Day. Go
(01:25):
to the dentists. I don't care about Christmas. We got
a while until that happens. Make sure you get all
those cavities knocked out of there so that when your
grandma asked you to smile for a family picture, it
doesn't look like you've just been munching meth, you know
what I mean, or chewing on illuminum. You're just like, oh,
I got pearly whites. I wasn't needing all the receas.
Do that?
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Do that.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I hope you're doing good, though. I gotta start off
with this. I got irrationally angry at a Chick fil
A the other day. And I know, first of all, like,
what are you doing at Chick fil A? Fat bastard? Well,
I didn't have enough time. Yeah, that's not an excuse.
I was being fat, That's what I was doing. I
was being fat and contributing to Chick fil A's empire
(02:07):
where they apparently have enough money to make movies and
TV shows now. But that's not the point. When you
pull up to this Chick fil A that I go to,
they have like a whiteboard with like a random fact
of the day, or are you a mountain or a
beach kind of person? You sit there while you're waiting
in a line for your chicken nuggets, like I do
like the beach more than the bountains. It's stupid. But
they had this random fact up there and it said
(02:32):
hippos can't swim. And this is the first time I've
ever seen something in a fast food line, and I
had to Google it because I was like, I think
Chick fil A's lying to me. You mean to tell
me this is not the Lord's chicken. No, I believe that.
But what I don't believe is hippos can't swim. So
I had to google it, and even Google says, no,
(02:54):
hippos cannot swim. They were unable to swim or breathe underwater,
and they're so dense that they can't float. Instead, hippos
move through the water by walking or running along the
bottom of the rivers. So you know what I did next?
I had to google what is swimming? Hold on swimming
definition because the sport or activity of propelling oneself through
(03:18):
water using limbs. They move through water by walking or
running along the bottom of the river. What that's swimming, dude,
Hippos can swim. This made me mad, not not that
Chick fil A's got enough money to make movies, but
also they're pushing this propaganda that hippos can't swim. I'd
never seen a hippo drown. They're in water all the time.
(03:40):
That's most of the videos you see of hippos is
that they're in the water, like chasing people. You gotta
watch outs or nose pops up and you're like, oh,
hippo's over there, don't go over there. They'll eat the
whole boat. Hippos can swim, And it made me even
more mad. The Google said, well they can't, and then
under it said, yeah, hippos can swim. Use the definition
(04:00):
of swimming is moving through water using your limbs. What
are they doing. They're moving, They're traversing through the water,
but it's on your bottom. They're not bullying and you
have to throat. Don't care swimming you actually walking under what.
I don't know why that made me so mad, Probably
because I'm under a lot of stress and I have
(04:25):
to get emails from people that drive me up the wall.
I'll say this. I'll say this one. I'm sorry for
being angry, but two people that never got over high
school are some of the most dangerous human beings on
the planet. I don't know. First of all, if you're
listening to this right now and you're in high school
and you're thinking it'll end someday, not won't because majority
(04:47):
of the people that go to high school just keep
thinking that way the whole time. Like the amount of
people you can tell something about somebody talking to him
for like twenty thirty minutes, you can be like, Okay,
I can get a feel for this person. A lot
of people are stuck in, and especially the industry I'm in,
are stuck in like, oh well I wasn't as cool
(05:07):
as I want to be in high school. So know
that I got some power. I'm gonna flex it. I'm
telling you, like radio people and cops are the two
most dangerous human beings on the planet when it comes
to not getting over high school. I like, it drives
me up the walk because cops that you know, I
know I'm generalizing, but a lot of them are like, well,
I was super cool in high school, and I got
this power and now I'm on the user to keep
(05:28):
throwing people in walkers only. Now I got a gun.
That's like if you got a boss right now. And
they're just like, here's the thing about radio. I'll tell
you this radio is a super cool job. It's also
not a real serious job. You want to know why
we're playing music and we're talking about well, the biggest
cookie ever was made today. That's what we're doing. And
we're giving you free tickets and stuff. That is what
(05:51):
the job is. But some people like acting like we
control music. We have to know you don't control music.
Have you ever played an instrument in your entire life? No?
You have it? Can you play an instrument? Or are
you just like getting hammered drunk and talking to country
singers going, oh, I could have been to Nashville. Shut up.
I just like to get over high school. I'm telling you, bro,
(06:13):
it happened. It's gone. Those mean bullies can't get you
anymore because now they're you know, they're divorced. They have
drinking problems too. Let it go, it's gonna be okay.
Go therapy. How about that? How about we do that
matter of fact, the Bowies had bullied you in high school. Actually,
they're probably doing pretty good right about now. I'm not
gonna lie, cause it just seems like that is how
(06:36):
it goes. I don't know. It's been driving me up
the wall. I have so many more different bosses, all
texting me and emailing me the same thing. Like I
feel like office space has become my new reality where
it's like, well, you know, I have eight different bosses,
so I just gotta work just hard enough to be
(06:57):
left alone. That's like, oh my goodness, I'm sorry, I'm
talking about nothing. Let's talk about something that's made me happy.
Gambling is rigged. Sports are rigged for money. I've seen
it happy with my own eyes. Bro, I've seen it.
What did Aysha Curry say? This is rigged for money?
I've seen it with my own eyes. I can't be
(07:18):
quiet any longer. Oh my goodness, bro, I had no Seriously,
I mean, it's probably rigged a little bit, but or
like the reps are in on it a little bit.
But I don't actually think it's like rigged to the
point where like your uncle last Thanksgiving was like, oh see,
the Illuminati already picked the Super Bowl Colors already picked away.
(07:40):
It's gonna be the forty nine Ers and the Chiefs,
and the Chiefs are gonna win because Taylor Swift. Yeah.
I don't think it's rigged like that. I just some
things make me scratch my head a little bit, like Okay,
Monday Night Steelers Giants, a game I would normally never
care about, but I bought into the addiction of gambling
because it's fun, you feel alive. It's beautiful. By the way,
(08:02):
go to DraftKings. Use code B ninety three nine. You
get two hundred and fifty bucks. If you spend five bucks,
we'll get the plug. All right, So Monday Night Steelers Giants,
I got Steelers money line. I got Russell Wilson plus
one seventy five passing yards, Daniel Jones plus one fifty
passing yards, Tyrone Tracy plus fifty rushing yards, Najie Harris
(08:24):
plus fifty uh rushing yards, and George Pickens anytime touchdown.
This is an easy cash in the money. Go I'm
taking this is a hit bet. I cannot lose this bet,
said every guy who's ever ever. I seriously, I can't
lose everything hits except George Pickens anytime touchdown. They called
(08:47):
back not one, but two George Pickens touchdowns and then
you know what happened. One of them was a penalty, sure,
whatever the referees can do that. You know, holding happens
on every play, doesn't it. But the second one, he
literally caught the ball, tapped one foot, tapped the same
foot again, did a little Irish water tap dance whatever
(09:10):
that dance is called, in the end zone, but only
with one foot, so it didn't count, and that took
that away. I've lost money, Nick, How much did you lose?
Ten dollars? But that's not the point. Vegas is rigging
sports so that I lose ten dollars, That's what's going on.
I'm gonna go post on my YouTube Illuminati channel. I
(09:34):
can't wait to go to Thanksgiving and just ask all
my loved ones what their craziest conspiracy theory is. It's
never not funny. I'm just saying, bro, Like what one
time I was I was in Vegas for one of
my best friend's bachelor parties, and you know, we did
(09:56):
a little bit of gambling and I of course lost.
I was up, but stupid we kept going, so I
was drunk. I was having a good time. I didn't care,
but like lost like all my money, broke. My phone.
Had to call an old cab not an ubercause my
phone was broken. I needed to get to the airport
to get on my flight phones. Broke. Cab picks me up.
(10:18):
I have like sixty bucks left. The cab was like
fifty five bucks. I don't know how those things are
still in business because they're so expensive. But anyway, I
get in there and the guy was like, what was
your trip? And I was like it was good, man,
it was good. You know, just lost the whole bunch
of money, but you know, it was fun. And he
points out over the Vegas skyline. He goes, my friend,
do you see all these buildings and they go yeah.
(10:40):
He goes, they were built by people like you, and
I was like, ah, yeah, I am the stupid one.
I do fund the building of cities, specifically in last Vegas,
because I suck. I get mad when I see people
post like, oh, we want thousands of adult Yeah go
for you, dude, not me. I'm bad at it because
even like when I'm being smart about it, I lose
(11:04):
because NFL must be rigged. Oh my goodness. Yeah, that's
that's wild. But you all to know what else is wild.
I'm telling you you got to watch other people's social
media algorithms like TikTok, just to see what life's like
outside of your view, outside of your algorithm. Like girl,
(11:27):
TikTok is wild. I'll watch I'll watch my girls videos
every once in a while. She'll be scrolling. I'll just
be watching watching rich hot people is way too popular
like that that's all it is. And it'll be like, hey,
come get ready with me and look at what I
do in two hours. You suck because you don't have
(11:48):
as much money as me. And look how popular and
pretty I am. Like it's crazy it this thing will
have like millions of views and it's just some hot
girl putting like makeup on and making a smoothie and
making coffee and then also working out. It's weird, like
why do we like doing that? You're just sitting there like,
(12:09):
oh yeah, I could do that, and it's like no,
I didn't realize how much stuff like girls have to
use or not have to, but girls use like to
just put on their faces like not I just thought
it was just makeup. But there's like the moisturizer. But
there's the pre moisturizer and then the post moisturizer, and
then you also have to scrape that off with a rock. Yeah,
(12:30):
and you got to do all this stuff and then
you put your makeup on and then you take it
all out. And it's like, I understand why Kylie Jenner
and Rihanna are worth a billion dollars because makeup is
insanely expensive. But that's all it is. Just like those
get Ready with Me videos, it's just rich, good looking
people and it's way too popular. I want to see
(12:50):
I want to see like the poorest people get ready, Like, hey,
get ready with me today. I'm on my last serving
of this Captain crunchbox that I stole from publics. I
would much rather watch that because there's like some kind
of there's a storyline going. You know, where's this person
going after? Are they getting more Captain Crunch. I don't
want to see Bethany get ready in her two million
(13:13):
dollar home while she's putting on seventeen fenty items, you
know what I mean. I don't see that all right. Anyway,
let's get to uh, your headline of the week. I
just had it. Where did it go? Where did it go?
Where did it go?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Speaking of money, the top money making baby names were released,
so like the names of people that have made the
most money in the world were released. So the story
was basically like, Hey, if you want your baby to
be successful, name them one of these names. The top
five names are John, David, Thomas, Michael, and Wang and
(13:55):
they all made millions of dollars. But then the article says,
of course, our success is more likely driven by other factors.
Whether you name your child Mark, Michael or something completely different,
the key to success likely has more to do with opportunity, innovation,
and determination than what's written on their birth certificate. Oh really,
you mean you got a network and maybe I don't know,
(14:17):
get born to a billionaire family. You ready with me?
I make a cup of coffee. My name's Wang. Yeah, whatever,
All right, let's get to this interview with comedian Lewis Black.
What's going on?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Lewis every day? Joy pul every day? You know, I'm
so excited that they're gonna tell me today what they
think the polls are. If they don't shut up for
one day, just one day, shut up, otherwise I'm fine.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Well, I'm glad. You know that you're doing good, So
I mean, you got to be getting excited. You know,
you're just on the Daily Show giving us hope about
the election coming up. Anything else will be happy about.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
You know that my Washington commanders are doing well and
my uh and I've won a couple of kids in
fantasy football, the one distraction I have left that's all
unbelievable that I put my time and I sit there
on Sunday like a zombie, watching game after game players.
I don't even know I'm rooting for teams. I don't
(15:23):
even like.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Yeah, it's a it's a beautiful thing when you can
just kind of zone out on a couch for nine
hours every Sunday, lose money gambling and playing fantasy, and
then Monday you open up the crypt of despair. It's
it's nice man, right.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And it's you know, and it's nice too that they've
given us twelve place to gamble. They have more gambling
sites and and will you explain to me how how
these uh you know, the NFL is involved with a
gambling site. What come on, guys, and.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
These pretend, Yeah, it's not even close to acting like
it's a straight and narrow anymore. So like, hey, we're
gonna cut the commercial break after this blown call brought
to you by DraftKings, We'll be back. It's ridiculous, man,
But all right, I want to talk about your tour
coming to d Pak and Durham Goodbye yell Er Brick Road,
(16:16):
the final tour of this Friday. I got a few questions,
is this really the final tour you've done after this?
Speaker 1 (16:23):
Well, I mean, I'm not going to tour anymore. But
I was doing, you know, even now before it ends
in March, I got another fifty shows. I'm not doing
that anymore. I might show up somewhere and do a show, right,
I mean, I know in October coming down the road.
From March to October, I've got no gigs, and I'll
(16:43):
do a couple of gigs, but I'm not gonna be,
you know, every week returning to your town. I was
coming back to Durham every year and a half two years,
you know, and I'm gonna I'm going to The nice
thing is is I'm gonna spend a little more time
in that area now that now that I'm done with that,
(17:05):
and I'm gonna spend time writing and then do you know,
And I'll do my brand cast and I'm still gonna
be on the Daily Show. I'm not retiring from life,
but I'm not I'm not gonna spend four days every
weekend trying to find a hotel room.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Well that's good, crazy, yeah, I mean, I'm sure you
racked up a bunch of points though, like you got
the Marriotte points, the red roof and I don't know
where you stay, but you got to Yeah, no, I.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Got I got but to be split it all up,
so it's just enough to be meaningless. You get one,
I get a I can take the soap with me.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
That's good. You know, you gotta look at the bright
side of things. But I'm glad to know that you're
still gonna be doing stuff because I read the Final
Tour and kind of made me nervous for a second.
But I didn't know if it was going to be like, oh,
the Rolling Stones Final Tour, you know, in nineteen ninety
four or whatever, and then you know, you keep going
till twenty thirty. But I'm glad that.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Yeah, I won't do that to people. I mean really literally,
it was one way to tell everybody because you know,
especially the last few years and with the pandemic and on,
you're you know, people still expect, well, I'll see him
the next time. Well, it don't count.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
On it, right right, I got you. Now I got
to ask about the name of the tour Goodbye Yeller
Brick Road. Are you Old Yeller walk in to see
uh the wizard? Or is he going to put you
out of his misery? Or are you putting the wizard
out of the what's the meaning behind him?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
I'm putting him? I'm in a yell a man of
It's well, you know, part of it is just that
that yellow and yellow because I did do a uh,
I did a CD in a special called Old Yeller, right,
and so it's it's basically referring back to that. But
also uh and I also I saw it, you know,
(18:55):
and it was a rip off of Velton thing and
it made you're a great poster.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
Okay, I got you. So that's what I was wondering.
I was like, all right, what kind of artistic stuff
are we getting into with this name here?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
So that's called not that you know me, I'm not artistic.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
See you you like playing that off, But also you
know you're a player right you start, you've been doing
this forever like that. Don't sell yourself short on actually
having a thought and going, yeah, I'm gonna do this
because it's cool and I thought about it. Now true
I do. I do have to ask because we're going
into holiday season, a lot of people are going to
(19:34):
be around a lot of relatives that believe a lot
of things that they see on the internet. So I
wanted to ask, what would your advice be to people
dealing with family members that believe the weather is controlled
by the government.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
And I tell them that fifty years ago in when
times when when people kind of realized what was going on,
when people said that they if they would be put
in a psychiatric clinic. Okay, if you think the weather's
controlled by you know, anyone other than maybe possibly the
(20:11):
Lord Almighty, you're an idiot and you need to be
you need to be strapped down for a while, okay.
And the way to deal with some of those family members,
especially if you're going into a house where they're all
going to be not this misinformation, disinformation, which has got
to stop. Stop calling it that it's called lying while
(20:32):
making stuff up misinformation. It sounds as if you know oh,
we thought about doing. You know, you didn't think about it.
You lied. You wouldn't accept this kind of if you're
if you're seven year old told you this stuff, you
wouldn't listen to them. You know, basically I would. I
(20:53):
would if you're going to go to that type of
a dinner, we're aluminum boiling. And if they ask, why
did you tell them? It's a secret, it's a very
special thing. And I'll be getting extra money because I
wear this oil.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Now, that'll drive them up the wall. They'll be all
over X and TikTok trying to figure out what the
secret is.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
I don't get how people. It's hard enough dealing with
day to day reality. Now you're gonna make stuff up.
You're insane.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Well stop it. I gotta be honest. It's funny because
I'm thirty one. So when I was growing up, I
was kind of like my generation was getting into the internet,
and our parents always told us, hey, don't believe anything
you see on the internet, and they even made commercials
about it, and it was the joke. And I don't
know at what point it changed, but now the older
generations believe ninety nine percent of the stuff on the
(21:48):
Internet as long as it's directed into you know what
they already believe. I just I don't know what happened.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I don't either, because I'm seventy six. Anybody who's seventy
five or over. First off, you know, basically, you've got
to pri something is wrong with you. Go get up today.
If you believe everything that you're looking at on that screen,
go to a doctor. Go to a doctor and get
(22:18):
some pills. Okay, jackasses.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Yeah, I'm all for bringing back the looney bins.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Man.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
I think we need to do.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
I do too. Enough is enough? You know they we're
trying to have an election and people are living in
separate realities. Well, it doesn't work that way. And how
did I learn that? When I was on LSD. That's
how I learned that.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, everybody needs to just you know, chill out. Understand
we're on the same vibration. Man, It's fine, it's fine.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Thank you. That's the That's gonna probably be the smartest
thing I've heard today.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Well, if you're.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Listening, audience will be fleeing into the streets because of it.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
I got you, bro. Now you're gonna be a Durham.
You come to Durham all the time. Do you ever
feel nervous walking around Duke Country being a tar heel?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Nah? Okay, they don't know. They can't tell, you know.
They just they consense that smarter people in the area.
They don't know why.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
Hey, that's the clip right there. I appreciate you give
me that. I might have some Duke fangof ah man,
we're just as smart as in tar heels. I appreciate
you all right. Now, I got to ask a selfish question.
We were talking about, you know, how you create your craft,
because I know you started writing plays, you did stand
up comedy, You've had this great career, So just personally,
(23:42):
I want to know, how do you bring your act together?
Like do you go big to small or small to big?
Like do you see an idea and you want to
delve into every part of it or there's just like
a couple of small ideas that you have and then
you realize that there's something to tie them in together.
How do you do that when you're bringing your act?
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Well, well that's a good question. Now what I do
is I work? First off, I write on stage, so
like so the P Diddy stuff happened, which I won't
talk about because it's it's beyond disturbing. But that you know,
Sean puff Ad or whatever he calls himself. Hem, I'm
(24:22):
watching that one morning and I'm sitting here and I'm going,
oh my god. And then I just I didn't really
write anything. I just took here's here's the notes, and
then I go on stage and just start I look
at the notes during the day and then I just
kind of talked through it, and then I talked through
it again the next night and the next night, and
then I take that little chunk and if it fits
(24:43):
with another little chunk, and essentially I start with just
like you say, little chunks, and then I start tying
those chunks together. But what things are so insane out
there that I literally have gotten to the point where
I was rolling along and I thought I had the
act that I was gonna have. If you said three
(25:04):
weeks ago, what are you going to do in in Durham,
I would have said a variety of things. Well, within
a week, twenty minutes came up. These people have got
to slow down.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Yeah, or you know that?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
And idiot, you've got running for off that junior, that
Lieutenant Governor Mark Wow. Wow, Wow, the only person on
a porn site who's typing.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Yeah, you got to be pretty diabolically horny to be
leaving comments on porn websites.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Man, you really unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Yeah, and even dumber to be weaving your actual name
on there while you're doing it. It's just, yeah, it
doesn't make sense anymore. But I'm no. I appreciate you
for giving everybody that insight into how your act comes together,
because that's that's fascinating to me. So I appreciate that. Man.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
Yeah, well I always tried, and the end, when I'm
putting it all together, what I want to do, whether
they're conscious of it or not, I'm trying to tell
a story.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Right right, all right? So what if you could summarize
if you if you want to give it away or
if not, what is the overarching theme for the show
at Deepak this Friday.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Wow? At this point, I'm not really sure, except that
the overriding theme really is is that we're uh, it's
hard to satirize what's already satiric. You know that, you
know Mark Robinson did that Lieutenant Governor if you read
about him in a book, you know is a fictional book.
(26:43):
You go guy that this is a funny book, but
it's real. I don't even have to do anything. The
story that I tell Robert Kennedy's story about the little
bear he picked up that was, you know, because he
was going to eat some roadkill. I just tell. All
I do is tell the story. I don't have to
make anything up. They make it too easy. So that's
(27:07):
what they're gonna hear. And they're gonna hear that they're
not crazy. Uh, we're not crazy. They are well, And
I don't care what side you're on. There's a day
out there, okay, And I'm representing both sides, and they're
the ones who are nuts.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Well, I'm not us. I'm glad you said that because
everybody likes to do the finger point thing. And it's like, well,
I mean, don't you think there's somebody that's lying in
both pockets? Doesn't that make sense? Yes, wellbelievable. It's crazy, man, Lewis,
is there anything else that you want to plug or
promote for I'll let you get out of here.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Just my rant cast. If you go to Lewis black
dot com you start sending in some rents. If I
get a chance and Durham. I'll read them, but but
just to if you go there, you can find out
how to listen to it. Basically. I mean every week
I read rants written by other people, you know, written
(28:07):
by just folks. And it doesn't have to be about
like politics or something important. People out there are screaming
about things like they don't want pickles on their bike
and it breaks them.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Well, I'm glad that people are getting back to the
little things that anger them in life. It's a lot
easier to wrap your arms around, you.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Know, and remember. And the reason I partly do this
is because you remember, you don't yell at people. You
yell at inanimate objects. That's good, that's what they're there for.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah, that's good advice. Man. Well he was. I just
want to say what a pleasure it was. They'll be
able to talk to you, and I really appreciate you
taking the time to hop on the show man.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
It was my pleasure and thank you very very much
for your time, and I look forward to coming to Durham.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
No problem, go Murder this Friday, d PAK Goodbye, Yell
or Break the final tour Lewis Black, Thanks
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Louis, thank you, Thanks to go money for money, for
go money, for go money,

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
