Speaker 3 (00:30):
Welcome to behind the Scenes for You're half asked entertainment
news with no bullshit with our hosts, The Baroness and
Bear Fjorda, only on Talk four Media.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
Hello, welcome to behind the Scenes. My brain immediately when
they said suggested material, I thought they said suggestive material,
and I think that I think I think that had
to do with our conversation from before, because we were
talking about we were we were talking, we were talking
about the difference in labels of kitty diddlers. There was
a comedian who came on the show last year.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah, Gian Marcos SERRESI hope I said.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
That, right, and he come on. He came on the
show and he's like and he's explained the difference between
a hebe file and it's like the problem is when
you explain this difference. When you get pedantic about it,
it makes you sound.

Speaker 5 (01:18):
Like, yeah, a kitty diddler, because they're all the same.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
Really that we got there.

Speaker 5 (01:24):
We got there because we're talking about the whole OnlyFans
thing and how different girls are trying to invest their
lives into it.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
It's not that they're trying to make the weird. They're
like niches to get themselves.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
And you've got that girl that's like once a boy
turns eighteen. Then you've got the girl that's like, I'll
do one hundred men in a day. You but that's
all media. You have to find your niche.

Speaker 5 (01:43):
Well, that's that's that's part of the entertainment world. There's
so many people out there. So if you want to
get into entertainment, you want to be a corn star,
you want to be a comedian, you want to be
a fighter. What about you is more interesting than the
last three thousand people doing that?

Speaker 2 (01:57):
You know?

Speaker 5 (01:57):
That's how you got to find your thing that entice
people can watch you.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
I am going to say I appreciate you on TikTok,
but let's be honest. That chick made like you stop
putting a coffee on that he's putting his coffee on
the tray that's got the cameras on it.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Listen, it's only expensive. It'll be okay. You say, are
you going to continue? You had a great thought. I'll
pick it up if you want on. I don't remember
what it was.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Essentially, girls earn like forty three million dollars from doing
this only fans content, and I think Bear is wasting
his time doing TikTok and instant punching people. He needs
to take off his pants.

Speaker 5 (02:40):
And as I stated earlier, this body them in right
now will not earn forty three million dollars. In fact,
it never will because as much as it's a guy that.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Does videos with his dad makes a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
I guarantee it doesn't make forty three million.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
But also that's why I know there is Is it
literally them or is it they do with other people
in this, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
I don't know, so I couldn't go to it. Really
it really bothered me. It bothered me a lot. He does.
He does have content with his with his daddy, with
his you know, with his dad.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
Oh, it's right, but they use those terms interchangeably. Know,
his genetic father and him do corn together on only fans.
So they do with that information what you will?

Speaker 4 (03:27):
Would you do it with your mother?

Speaker 5 (03:28):
No, there's no amount of money, there is no price point.
There is If the President the United States came to
right now and said, I will give you our entire
annual defense spending budget right now, if you make a
single video of corn with your mother, I would I
couldn't tell you how fast I was.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
I would say no before you finish the sentence.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
I see, I'd be like try. I mean you.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Could not say try.

Speaker 5 (03:53):
You would not try with your father, absolutely not, No,
you would not.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
You would hire someone to be like, yeah, this is
totally my dad.

Speaker 4 (04:01):
Yeah, yeah, pretty much. Bear has never been so flaccid
and unhappy in his entire life.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
The worst part is the worst. We're saying there for
a point of like comfort. We were doing okay in
our lives, so we don't have to think like that.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
There are people that they're so desperate who would absolutely
sit there.

Speaker 5 (04:19):
How could I convince her to do it? Do I
show her that the contract first? What gets her involved?
Or they're already into the idea and they don't need
money to entice them.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
They well, I think that's the that's the old adage.
There but for the grace of God go I. Yes,
I come from a position of you know, immense privilege.
You punch people for money, so you do, you know,
pretty good for yourself.

Speaker 5 (04:40):
Yeah, and we don't have to sleep with our parents
for massive contracts of money.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
The thing is that guy does know apparently.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
In any first world country. Yeah, there are other.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Options, Yes, there are, except that was the option he chose.
I'm not. I'm so weirded out by that. What I'm sorry?
How do you do it with your fair you do well?

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Drake apparently had a threesome with his dad.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
Really, no reason from Drake. It doesn't surprise me, Yeah,
it doesn't. What was that song They're not like us? Yeah,
I think that's emphasizes really well. Kendrick made it very
clear that Drake is. When he said not like us,
he didn't mean not like our culture. He mean not
like humans. That dude's a fucking alien.

Speaker 2 (05:24):
He's weird.

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Yeah, except it reinforces that whole Illuminati thing. We do
not actually have an Illuminati thing. There's no conspiracy in
Hollywood to have like a club. There's just a bunch
of perverts that got into a position of power.

Speaker 5 (05:36):
Yes, absolutely, Speaking of perfets and positions of power, how
many of them do you think subscribe to only fans?

Speaker 4 (05:41):
They don't have to subscribe.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
It's great, I feel that they do.

Speaker 6 (05:44):
Not.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Every girl's accessible.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
I know they every it's free for an execu it's free.
I can get on most platforms for free.

Speaker 5 (05:51):
No wait, you're saying that platform OnlyFans will if you
show you you're an executive in Hollywood, they will offer
you a free account.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Oh yeah, they're just not going to so they'll pay
for it.

Speaker 5 (06:00):
It's not like it's tally a subscription to the website,
subscription to the individuals.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
Oh for sure. What I mean, I don't these guys
don't do that. What they do is they call up
and they go, Hi, bib, you want to be in
a movie, I'll make it. I'll make you fin.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
My thing is, if Quentin Tarantino call one of them up, dude,
are they going to know who Quentin is?

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Like, yes, mister Terry. They're not take me.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
They're not slow. It's like these they're not stupid people.
And especially some of these young ladies are quite intelligent.
Some of them not so much. Granted, but some of.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
Them really they can figure the business part out. Some
of them blow through everything they make.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
But I'll no pun intended.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
I think we should make a point too that mostly,
like ninety nine percent of the women who join only
fans anyone joins only dance for that matter, they just
they don't make that money, make one hundred bucks a
month or less.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
There's a real statistic about that out there.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
You have to if this is what you want to
do for a living, if you're in film, so I'm
a media strategist, that's what I do. I can very
modestly say I'm one of the best in the world.
If we're being honest, I'm probably the best in the
world currently. And you have to have a hook. I
tell everyone the same thing. If you don't have a hook,

(07:13):
if you don't have something that makes you different, if
you don't have something that people can latch on and
relate to, no one will. The problem I have with
Bear is his just himself. He won't get a hook you.
It doesn't matter you were just you. You need a hook.
Everyone needs that hook you have to have. Why do
you lean off screen to drink your coffee?

Speaker 5 (07:35):
Because those with the wrong hand, and you want to
put pressure on your body to drink my coffee, because
I'd be like elbowing you in the face to get
it up there.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
That's my hook. I drink coffee.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
You punch your girlfriend in the face.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
Oh, I drink coffee.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Everyone in the world drinks coffee.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
That's why it's relatable.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
You're an idiot. That's not a hook. I feel that
essentially everyone needs to have something that makes them different,
either an experienced people can relate to, or a moment
that people can relate to. You have to be something
or someone that people aspire to. I'm not incredibly relatable.
I'm you know, from an American standpoint. I'm foreign. I've

(08:15):
had a very privileged life. I you know, deal in
entertainment and nobility.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
You are a wonderful sound engineer. My hook is a
hook to the face. I like that. That's how I
get you.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
Yep, he punches people. That is great. He will abuse
people into following him.

Speaker 5 (08:34):
Dude, follow me, or you're catching a left and right.
You get a two piece meal. Hit that subscribe button.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
You have to create a parasocial relationship. And for the women,
especially on of that, the one that does the his
eighteen soul sleep with him or the girl that does that.
I'm sleeping with one hundred men.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
In a day the way.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
Yeah, that's that's creepy. That's how we got onto the
Hebrew file conversation.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
Wait, hold e fever file, e fever file. Excuse me,
host Pefest. You can't explain, because then you sound like
a kitty did live the matter of life.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
Anyway, Chris, we'll.

Speaker 5 (09:11):
Start talking about it. They start talking about diddyes and whatnot.

And I'd like to welcome to the show, Britney Schmidt. Hello,

(10:14):
how you doing?

Speaker 7 (10:16):
Oh wow? That was in sync? I'm great. I'm barely awake.
How are you.

Speaker 5 (10:21):
Fantastic? I feel you on that one. Is it like
a different time zone? Is it way earlier in the
day for you?

Speaker 7 (10:26):
No? No, no no. I just couldn't sleep last night.

Speaker 6 (10:28):
I moved into place and there's a kid upstairs who
wakes me up at like six am. And I've never
wanted to commit a crime on a small family, but
now I do.

Speaker 4 (10:37):
Have you tried, bam mice.

Speaker 6 (10:40):
I don't think that'll get through the ceiling. I think
I need like a bazooka or something I've gotten.

Speaker 5 (10:44):
Now that we've already derailed a little bit, I gotta
know what's he doing to keep you up?

Speaker 7 (10:48):
He's just running around.

Speaker 6 (10:49):
I can just hear him running like laps around the house.
He's just a four year old kid, and it's a nightmare.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
What a year old kid doing up at that time
of night, and of parents allow this.

Speaker 7 (11:01):
Well, he wasn't up at night.

Speaker 6 (11:02):
I was up at night because I stayed up late
at night because I'm a comedian and I'm working, so
I usually go to better on like one or two,
and then he gets up at six.

Speaker 7 (11:12):
So my window of sleeping has shrunk.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah, definitely a conflict adventures there.

Speaker 4 (11:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, So is it like you you know,
is it like what is it having? You hear those
people that have a cat or dogs they don't want
you open the door and just let him out? Can
you do that with the nightest kid?

Speaker 7 (11:31):
I should. I should give it a shot. I have
to do something.

Speaker 6 (11:33):
I'm gonna have to interview it being otherwise I'm not
going to sleep for the rest of the year.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
Well, you know, how did your tool go? I know
you adjusted in New York performing.

Speaker 6 (11:42):
Yeah, I just finished my tour. I wrapped up in
the Midwest and it was epic.

Speaker 7 (11:46):
It was great.

Speaker 6 (11:47):
The tour was way shorter than last year. I only
did like fifteen cities this year, so it was really good.
It was better than doing thirty five cities. I don't
know how comedians do like hundreds and hundreds of dates
in a year.

Speaker 7 (11:59):
I'm just I don't know that'll ever be me.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
That sounds awful.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yeah, do you have a cocaine?

Speaker 4 (12:06):
By the way, cocaine. There's a reason everyone on SNL
is dying?

Speaker 7 (12:10):
Right, Okay, yeah, there we go.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
Hey, options are great. You know you don't have to
take her up on it, but it just knows.

Speaker 7 (12:19):
Right, No, no, no, listen, she is an ideas woman if
nothing else.

Speaker 4 (12:24):
How did you get into comedy? It's one of the
most niche difficult, I mean really really difficult parts of entertainment,
and not only doing it, but you're doing it well.

Speaker 7 (12:38):
Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 6 (12:39):
I got into it because I got a DUI in
twenty thirteen or twenty twelve, I can't remember, and I
had to go to jail for thirty days, and I
was like really depressed. And my friend who got into
stand up comedy, he's like, you need therapy, but you
can't afford therapy, so you should try comedy. And then
he introduced me to a writing teacher in la and

(12:59):
then I learned how to do comedy.

Speaker 7 (13:01):
And then after that I was like, oh, this is
what I was born to do. So that was kind
of it.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
I love that that was not not that that story is.

Speaker 5 (13:11):
I don't know how to answer that, but anyways, I
love that that's a part of your story purely because
when we ask our guests to come on, they always
submit a bio, and they always give us different things
that they little history about themselves.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
We learned about them if we don't already know who
they are. And the opening line of what you do
says you are a professional at bringing down the vibes
at parties.

Speaker 5 (13:31):
So I feel like that really ties in well with
the whole reason why he became a comedian.

Speaker 7 (13:35):
Yep, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (13:37):
I think comedians are probably some of the darkest people
you'll ever meet. We all have a very dark passenger,
and some are better at hiding it than others.

Speaker 7 (13:46):
And I'm not one of those people.

Speaker 6 (13:47):
So you know, when people are like New Year's especially,
like that's one of those holidays, right, Everyone's.

Speaker 7 (13:53):
Like, at twenty five, it's not going to be your year.

Speaker 6 (13:56):
It's it's not going to be good. Shall the fuck out.
It's for your year, it's not turning around now. I
hate optimism, and that's kind of my vibe.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
I love I love it.

Speaker 5 (14:11):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
I love that.

Speaker 4 (14:14):
I'm actually I so I so for those who don't know,
I've been chatting with Netflix about a special for Brittany
and we've been talking back and forth. I'm actually going
to take the bio she sent us and send it
over because it's really really good. That everything up better
than anything, better than anything else could because you do
you have a real dark bent to your comedy, but

(14:35):
it's very good.

Speaker 7 (14:37):
Yeah, I mean, that's that's you know.

Speaker 6 (14:40):
One of the things that ended up happening is I
got sober after my mom killed herself, and I thought,
you know, when I was drinking and using, I was
like a happy, cool, fun check. I was like, Oh,
I'm the life at the party. I'm showing my tits,
I'm dancing on tables. And then I got sober and
I was like, oh, I hate myself. So I when
I realized that, like, I have to make this funny

(15:01):
otherwise it'll kill me and it'll eat me alive. So
it's just like I have to do something with that darkness,
and trust me, it's very isolating. Like when I start
talking about my mom's suicide or you know, abortion or
rape or whatever. Fun topics I like to hit, people
are like, you know, because people have had like nice childhood,
childhood foods and nice lives, like they don't relate.

Speaker 7 (15:21):
But the people that do relate really relate, and that's
who it's for.

Speaker 4 (15:27):
I also think it's a great way of bringing up,
just on a personal note, topics that people don't discuss.
Nobody wants to talk about abortion, Nobody wants to talk
about right, Nobody wants to talk about I can't say
that word on like nine on nine of our platforms.

Speaker 7 (15:41):
Oh you can't say that word.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
Okay, great, Yeah you can swear though, which is kind
of funny. You can say the wood because I.

Speaker 7 (15:48):
Can't stay it on this show right now.

Speaker 4 (15:50):
Oh you can say what We give money to charity
every time someone swears. We called the Johan Patrick Flannerdy rule.
He said the F word seventy three times in thirty minutes.
Oh good God, but naturally and that pre Irish accent,
real good mix.

Speaker 7 (16:05):
I love that.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
So we just started to give money to charity because
we did the show Life from Comic Con and they
were pissed.

Speaker 6 (16:13):
You know what's so funny to me is that you
can't say the word, but you can still do it
and get away with it. I'm like, oh, you can't
say the word publicly, but there's guys getting away with
it left and right every single day. Okay, cool, Well, rules, dude,
you guys have this figured out.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
It's because of how she dressed. Didn't you know she was?

Speaker 6 (16:35):
I know, I know, I have a joke I'm working out. Well,
I guess we can't talk about it, so I'm not
going to talk about it.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
No, no, no, you can talk about it. You just
can't say the words, right, that's you can talk about that.
I have exasperation was perfect?

Speaker 7 (16:51):
Okay, yeah, great.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Going, that's okay.

Speaker 5 (16:56):
You mentioned earlier that all comedians have this kind of
like dark ass and this dark thing with him.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Why do you think that's the case.

Speaker 6 (17:03):
I don't think most people are funny out of.

Speaker 7 (17:09):
I don't. I think most people become funny as a
defense mechanism.

Speaker 6 (17:12):
And the defense mechanism is usually against trauma in a
childhood situation that we figure out it's the only way
to maneuver through life. So I think people that have
nice lives don't often become that funny or have that
grade of personalities because when I mean think about it,
when you've met a person who's had like an easy life,
they're the most boring people in the world.

Speaker 7 (17:35):
Like, So I just think in.

Speaker 6 (17:37):
Order to get to the point of there's two parts
of it, right, Like, you're funny to survive, and then
once you realize you can be funny for attention. That's
another monster where it's like then it's like this monster
of like that's not nothing is ever enough.

Speaker 7 (17:50):
It's just like this insatiable beast.

Speaker 6 (17:53):
So you take you know, twenty comedians that all want
everyone to love them monsters Like like a real like
self actualized person would just be like, I'm okay with
myself and I love myself and I have friends and
family to love me. We're the kind of people that
will like start relationships with our friends and family on
fire to get the love and adoration of strangers and

(18:15):
the like I recognize like I'm a fucking monster, but
I'm a hot monster, and here.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
I am that makes a difference. Hot helps the it's
when you deal with trauma, especially childhood trauma, you need
I know, everyone says like, oh, get into therapy, and
therapy is good. I'm a huge fan of therapy, but
sometimes I do believe there are certain parts of ourselves
when they break, they can't completely go, you know, be fixed.

(18:45):
And when you look at public adoration, when you look
at comedy, it's one it's a way to control people.
It's a way to control a crowd. It's a way
to control the situation. It's a way to stop people
from lashing out at you. It's a way to get
people to like you. It's really very I don't want
to use the term manipulative, but it is, but in
a good way, Like that's a really it's a really
messed up thing to say. It is control people.

Speaker 7 (19:08):
Yeah, it is a way to control people. And it's
a really interesting.

Speaker 6 (19:11):
Dichotomy too, because I am pretty similar to who I
am on stage off stage, like I don't have like
I'm not a different person, but most of the comedians
that I know are completely different people, public facing and
private facing.

Speaker 7 (19:26):
So like public facing, they're.

Speaker 6 (19:27):
Adored, everyone loves them, they're the funniest person, they're the
most but like behind the scenes, they're like, damn, such
anger issues. They're narcissists, their monsters like that. That kind
of dichotomy is really I think toxic.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
It's the Phil Hoptman dichotomy.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
The it is. It's it's a very and it's very
interesting to me. But I think it's that's why women
are funnier than men. By the way, Montroma, I'm just saying.

Speaker 7 (19:55):
I was gonna say.

Speaker 6 (19:56):
That's universally going to be denied, but yeah, the first
person who's always said that.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
Well, it's we've been conditioned to laugh at men's jokes
even when they're not funny.

Speaker 5 (20:06):
Yeah, you know, as you were, I don't know if
this will fall into that category of laughing at the
joke somewhere funny. But did you have a preferred comedian
who you really looked up to you were kind of
going through the stage of that becoming where you are.

Speaker 6 (20:22):
The first person who made me realize I could make
a job out of being funny was Joan Rivers, and
so she's always kind of been the queen, and then
Chelsea Handler right after that, and then once I started comedy,
I didn't really look up to any comedians.

Speaker 7 (20:42):
I was too busy trying to figure it out on
my own.

Speaker 6 (20:44):
But now I have some peers that I really admire,
Like I think Andrew Santino is wicked funny. I think
Shane Gillis is a monster. I think Taylor Tomlinson's really
good at what she does. Like there's people now that
I'm like, you know, I can learn from what they're doing,
But I'm not really the kind of person that's like
a student of the game, Like I don't know every

(21:06):
single comedian. I don't know every single joke. Like, I'm
not that kind of comedian. I just say what I
think is funny and.

Speaker 5 (21:13):
Well.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
I can see the Joan Rivers thing. She was incredibly
authentic and like you and I can vouch for this.
I've staying him, I've watched the stuff and I've seen her.
I've told her offstage. She is very much back and
forth the same person Joan. You and Joan Rivers both
have that in comment. She was Joan Rivers all of
the time.

Speaker 6 (21:33):
Yeah, and you know what she loved about Joan and
she was She refused to ever apologize for a joke,
like she was like, it's a fucking joke. And if
you don't get it, then like comedy is not for you.
But she would never apologize. And I feel like now
comedians get in this space where they say something that's
funny and it's funny, but then like people don't like
it and they're like, oh, I'm so sorry. I mean, like, no,

(21:53):
our job is not to apologize. Our job is to
make funny, you know, to make jokes.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
I don't think even if it's not funny, they should apologize.
Sometimes jokes don't land. That doesn't mean a comedian should apologize.
Their job is experimental, it is taking those risks. I
think people have gotten to Maybe it's the Australian I mean,
but I think Americans are too sensitive, bunch of a
bunch of pansies.

Speaker 6 (22:17):
The worst, I mean, the best country to perform in
is England. I've never done Australia, but England's the best
because they just have a dark, sadistic sense of humor
and they know it's a joke.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
So yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 4 (22:29):
So Australias like England with less manners.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
More alcohol, more alcohol.

Speaker 4 (22:37):
Well yeah, that's how we started that. But essentially it's
we've got the dark sense of humor and absolutely no reverence.
The more distasteful it is, the more we tend to
like it.

Speaker 7 (22:52):
Yeah, yeah, those are my people.

Speaker 4 (22:55):
You definitely should go to Australia.

Speaker 7 (22:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
While we're still on the topic, how would you handle
if you put out a joke that was university relatively
universally just unappreciated by audiences around the world. They're telling
you to apologize.

Speaker 6 (23:09):
Yeah, well, no one's made me apologize because I'm not
famous enough yet, so nobody really cares. But if you
go into the comment section on my Instagram and some
of the jokes that have gone the most viral, it's, yeah,
there's a lot of people in there telling me if
this is not funny, this is offensive, you should kill yourself.

Speaker 7 (23:27):
Like da da, da da da. I get that all
the time.

Speaker 6 (23:29):
I just have to get a tougher skin because I'm like,
I don't care what some guy in his basement thinks
about me, And until it's like the Academy telling me
to apologize.

Speaker 7 (23:37):
I probably still won't.

Speaker 6 (23:38):
Like I'm just so defiant and I am so sick
of people being so fucking soft, Like I don't know
what happened or when it happened. It feels like it
might have been right around the pandemic or a little
bit before. I think maybe Trump's first presidency made everyone
turn into real fucking cowards and and everyone just started
apologizing and being super whoe. And I'm like, I understand

(24:01):
that we can be more compassionate to people, but we
can't stop making jokes, like we have to still have
a sense of humor about life. And I'm that's kind
of like the angle that I approach my comedy from,
because I'm like, if I can't joke about my mom
killing herself.

Speaker 7 (24:16):
Who can?

Speaker 6 (24:17):
Why is this hurting your feelings? It was my mom
and you didn't know her.

Speaker 7 (24:20):
She was a bitch.

Speaker 6 (24:22):
Like if you knew her, you'd be like, you know,
Like so, I don't know. I just think everyone's sensitivity
is through the fucking roof. And you know, the Internet
has also given a lot of people voices that don't
deserve them. It's like there was a reason why, like
back in the day, only there was five people commenting
on stuff. Now it's everyone in the world can comment

(24:44):
on your stuff if they want to.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
I think the Internet should lose anonymity. I think it's
the anonymity. I think if you have to go there
and it's your face on that you are a lot
more careful and I know, you know, telling someone kill yourself.

Speaker 7 (24:57):
If yeah, I mean.

Speaker 6 (25:00):
We saw, we saw what happened to Chrissy Tagan when
she told that INFLUENCERR to kill herself, and that was Yeah,
that like kind of ended Chrissy Tagan. Like people stopped
caring about her after that. They're like, oh, you're like
a legitimate monster.

Speaker 4 (25:12):
You're you're a mean girl. Well, I think the issue
with her was she sold herself as a girl's girl
and then she turned into a mean girl. It's kind
of the Ariana Grande thing. There's a point where like
it's it's cool you get yours, but if you're gonna
be a dick, Yeah, she went after like Courtney Stodden
who was sixteen being you know, pre data. If you're like,

(25:34):
you know, her husband a predator, a mother's a predator.
Like she she literally mean girls out and it's that
moment of people went, I don't like you now that
I know you.

Speaker 7 (25:44):
Yeah. Yeah's that's that's it. And I think that's one
hundred percent true.

Speaker 6 (25:49):
If like it wasn't a burner account telling it's the
same thing as like, you know, back in the day
before the internet, like if you wanted to say something
mean to someone, you had to say it to their
and then you had to accept the consequences, which could
be getting punched in the fucking mouth yep.

Speaker 7 (26:05):
Like, and now nobody has to deal with that.

Speaker 6 (26:07):
They're all just cowards behind burners saying whatever they want.

Speaker 7 (26:11):
I'm like, no, come say it to my face. And
then if you have the courage like this. There's a
perfect example of this. When I was in high school
Facebook first started. There's this group of people who hated me,
and they made a Facebook group about me and.

Speaker 4 (26:26):
Was so horrible. Like, as a comedian, it's everything you
want in life. As a teenager, it's a nightmare.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (26:31):
No, as a teenager, I didn't even know it was
going to be a comedian. I was like, this isn't funny.
It was just like a fucking hate group.

Speaker 6 (26:36):
And I figured out who ran it, and it was like,
you know, my whole life I had just spent like
I wanted everyone to like me. I felt so bad
that people didn't like me, and in that moment, something
shifted and I was like fuck all of you, like,
fucked all of you. Yeah no, I because he this
guy that started the group commented being like this girl's
such a slot.

Speaker 7 (26:57):
I want a curbstop, thank you you.

Speaker 6 (27:00):
And I went up to his locker and I was like,
you want to curb stop me, Dan, take me out
to the street and curb stop me right now. And
he just like cowered down, and he was so afraid
of me. And I was getting in his fucking face.
I'm like, you fucking psychopath, Like say it on the internet,
say it to my face.

Speaker 7 (27:15):
Do it right now. My mouth is wide open. Curbs
stop me and see what happens.

Speaker 6 (27:19):
And and he got so scared, and like I just
always remember that, Like I just remember that every time
I see a mean comment or someone saying something. I'm like,
they are cowards, Like if you really a PRODLG face,
they're fucking cowards.

Speaker 7 (27:34):
And he was scared of for the rest of you.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
See you see it all the time. I see it
with him, like when he'll lose a fight. You have
guys like I would have done this or I would
have done that. I'm like, good fight, then, yeah.

Speaker 7 (27:43):
Go do it.

Speaker 5 (27:45):
Yeah No, I've seen a lot more people who aren't
just brazen on the Internet, but they've seemed to have
equated to Oh I can say this. It's a little
bit obposent. I was talking about I've said it online.
Nothing happened to me. I can say it to people
on a day day basis. Now nothing's going to happen.
Fully encouraged to see it with.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
I fullyourage If you think you can get away with
I fully encourage it. Go say it to a person.
There are lots of cage fighters around, Go say it
to one of them.

Speaker 5 (28:07):
What I mean is like you'll get a guy who's
so comfortable saying, hey, go fuck your mother on the internet,
and then he goes he gets in an argument with
some guy in persons, hey go fuck your mother, and
his brain is like he's not gonna do anything, and
then he gets jawed and now he's confused and he's
calling for.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
The cops because it's like I do this all the time.
Why did I get hit for it?

Speaker 6 (28:24):
Now?

Speaker 2 (28:25):
It's because you're fucking on the internet, dude.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
Yeah, but it's also the Boomers. I'm gonna hear me
out of it. Fel they wouldn't be they No, they're not.
But they're the group that's like the internet's been around
for like forty years now. Dude, don't tell me you
don't know how to use a computer. You're just lazy.
The they'll turn around and bitch about everything they you know,
don't hurt my baby, yell at the teacher, and they

(28:47):
wonder why it's soft. What was that adage? Soft times
make so.

Speaker 5 (28:53):
Strong men make easy times. Easy times make soft men.
Soft men make hard times. And then there's Psychohepea.

Speaker 4 (29:01):
Essentially, the boomers made everything super easy for you know,
their kids, which was the millennials. I don't know you,
Oh no, they fucked us up royally. I'm just saying
the worst.

Speaker 7 (29:11):
Did you have the planet and then fucked up.

Speaker 4 (29:17):
But they made their own lives easier at our expense.
Look at the economy, like I'm in a position I
could buy property, but that's not normal. Like you're an
entertainment you have an above average, abnormal job. You have
your podcast shout out, by the way, make sure you
guys are following her podcast.

Speaker 7 (29:35):
Oh yeah, this is the worst and.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
It's great, it's absolutely fantastic, but it's a different like
they made their own lives easier, where most people try
and make their kids' lives easier, right, right, And so
that's that's what's so weird about this generational thing here
for you. You Sorry, No.

Speaker 7 (29:57):
I was just gonna say, it's all gonna be over soon, todorry.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
Everything's gonna bun.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Is not looking promising.

Speaker 7 (30:05):
I agree, it's end time.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
So whatever was waiting for the horseman to come ride
and along, it's great.

Speaker 7 (30:14):
It's so funny.

Speaker 6 (30:15):
I'm going to a vision board party tomorrow night, and
I was like, I don't have any visions for twenty foot.

Speaker 7 (30:19):
Nothing's going to happen. I can just feel it.

Speaker 2 (30:22):
I like that you answer my question. I was going
to ask, New Year, do you have any resolutions do
you want to meet?

Speaker 4 (30:28):
No?

Speaker 6 (30:28):
I mean there's so many things I want to get
done professionally, but it feels like Hollywood's on fire and
nothing's happening, So it just like kind of feels futile
to make any goals. I'm like, I want X, Y
and Z to happen, but I don't know. I've wanted
it to happen for like four years and it hasn't,
so I don't know what would make this year any different.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
So Hollywood's been kind of screwed for those of the
time we went through the pandemic. We ran through our
entire backlog of film. We get through to about twenty
two and then everyone's made these cheap, craptastic films during
the pandemic that we're having to release do. We have
strike after strike after strike, so we have no backlog.
We have a ton of projects. We put everything on

(31:07):
rerun and now they're scrambling, like I have thirty two
orders in for different projects right now. Thirty one thirty
two orders. It's insane. And I don't do that many
projects in a year. I do five or six.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
And a lot of the big guys are kittie diddlers.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
That's that's got nothing to do with that.

Speaker 7 (31:22):
That just is happening to means I won't be getting touched.

Speaker 2 (31:25):
So why did you say that? Like that.

Speaker 4 (31:31):
The bloody Comedian It was funny.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
That's good. I like that.

Speaker 7 (31:35):
It's over. You know, I'm single, I'm looking for love.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
Well they do. I think they did release Harvey on
good behavior.

Speaker 7 (31:45):
Oh good, okay, so I can call him up yeap.

Speaker 4 (31:48):
Well, my, I'm like, really, that's you. They let out
Cosby as well. I was like, listen, I think.

Speaker 6 (31:54):
They I think everyone together who got canceled and have
them make a movie and it'll be the best fucking movie.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
I'm doing old candls.

Speaker 6 (32:04):
Yeah no, literally, it's got to be Harvey, Louis c K,
Bill Cosby. Who else is down for the space director?
Who's that director that? Oh yeah, Kevin Spacey? Uh the
director that led the country because he sucked a fourteen
year old?

Speaker 4 (32:21):
Oh my god, did everyone? They're still giving him awards?

Speaker 7 (32:27):
I know.

Speaker 6 (32:27):
So all together they'll make a movie. It'll be the
best movie ever. And then we're just gonna be like,
all right, go.

Speaker 4 (32:33):
To be Alan and his Woody Allen and.

Speaker 7 (32:37):
I see this is what I'm saying. It's a dream team.
It's a dream team. The tents are a fucking dream team.

Speaker 6 (32:43):
I think it's I'm just sitting there like that's like
an all star roster.

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Oh my god, why it would be that.

Speaker 4 (32:49):
It's not about it's not about make.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
A really good movie. Actually, people are going all they all.

Speaker 7 (32:55):
Have like one more in them before they're about to
die of natural causes.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
Anyway, it's it's that moment that you're like, we have
let it go get at some point you know that
I get where everyone's coming from on that. Everyone you know,
they're turning around, they're like, why are you you know
what I loved was. I don't care about the left
or the right. I'm not American, so I'm like, I
think you guys are stupid with how tribal you are,
like to get mad at the people that are screwing

(33:21):
you all over, not each other, but the I've got
like a blanket. I'm saying, nobody knows, but like everyone's
like rallied behind him.

Speaker 7 (33:32):
Yeah, it's weird. It's weird.

Speaker 6 (33:34):
I think it's weird. I think it's weird to rally
behind someone who shot someone at point blank.

Speaker 7 (33:38):
Range at the back.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
Okay, so hey, what's your take on that?

Speaker 6 (33:43):
That was?

Speaker 4 (33:44):
Yeah, that was where we're going.

Speaker 6 (33:45):
I think it's weird. I think, listen, he's hot. If
he was ugly, nobody would care, like nobody, like, people
wouldn't be as excited if he wasn't a fucking swoon.

Speaker 7 (33:55):
This is how lonely girls are in America.

Speaker 6 (33:57):
This is I think that's what it's really showing, is
like how how how low the.

Speaker 7 (34:03):
Bar is for dating.

Speaker 6 (34:05):
It has been illuminated by Luigi because they're like, that's
like everyone in America. It's like, that's my motherfucking man.
And it's like, oh, really a murderer. Like also, yeah,
he's got back injuries and he's gay, but yeah, no, okay,
go ahead, that's your man.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
It's the same that Meeks guy that they everyone swooned
over the mugshot. Yeah, I don't get it, like I
get the married.

Speaker 6 (34:29):
He married, that mugshot man married into a billionaire family
after he got released from jail. His the founder of
top Shop's daughter. Yep, wow, and I seem to find
my mugshot.

Speaker 4 (34:44):
It's well, it's bizarre, and it's it shows pretty privileged
to a new level. And it's the I understand everyone
being upset about the healthcare thing in America. I grew
up with you know, national healthcare, so it was not
kind of a problem. And I get that people uniting
behind him just you know, even he was hot, right,

(35:05):
but you know, even the left is kind of behind him.
And then you have the girls that want to sleep
with him, and then you have everyone behind him, And
I'm like, I guess you have a problem with the
healthcare CEO, But did someone have to get shot in
the head like science?

Speaker 6 (35:19):
You know, I think that that is like a state
of reflection of how bad the democracy is in America
because it's like we need vigilantes to make change, and like,
unfortunately it's not, you know, it's not immediately all the
change that we needed to see. But like see the
United Healthcare like changed some stuff really quickly after he died,

(35:40):
Like they were like.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
Cross blue shield pulled back. There no anaesthetia policy.

Speaker 6 (35:44):
Yeah yeah, yeah, no, every they all started making really
quick because they're like, oh, we're getting hunted.

Speaker 7 (35:51):
So it's like a yeah, it's a different time. Listen.
I think the whole thing's weird.

Speaker 6 (35:57):
But the world is chaos right now, so honestly, I
barely flinched when it happened. I'm like the terrorist attack
on New Year's everything's so crazy that if you cared,
I can't even afford to care because my nervous system
would be in a constant state of shock. So I'm
just like, I'm so apathetic, and I think a lot
of America is very apathetic.

Speaker 5 (36:18):
Is as far as what you can tell them, Do
you think that's going to encourage more people to kind
of seek out these vigilantes?

Speaker 4 (36:27):
Did you not listen to her own comedians. Once you
feed people attention that keep going for it, the more
people are going to do it.

Speaker 6 (36:35):
I don't know, we'll see, because you do have to
be a fucking psychopath to kill someone, like that's the thing,
and a lot of us are very unwell, but the
act of murder is so it's like the antithesis to
being alive if you have like a soul in any moral.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
Compass, like, yeah, it's the ground, it's ground species.

Speaker 7 (37:00):
Don't you have to be a real psychopath to do
something like that. But I don't know. I think Americans
are getting pushed to the edge on a lot of stuff.
And we'll see.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
Well, you see that in every great nation when you
look at so America's democracy was built on Roman democracy,
which helped for a while, then became kind of a
two party and then it came voting for the lesser
of two evils, and then you've got a Caesar. But essentially,
every great country has the highs and lows. I don't think,
I know everyone's like this is the full of Amoka.
I don't think so. I think America will pull itself

(37:30):
back for sure, but this is definitely one of the
you know, the the highs and the hollows. This is
definitely one of the hollow moments.

Speaker 6 (37:39):
Yeah, it's kind of just like hopeless and weird right now.
But I can't remember the last time it felt good. Honestly,
The last time I was happy was the pandemic, whenever.

Speaker 4 (37:49):
I was like, I love this, but you're millennial? So
am I? So is he? In our lifetime?

Speaker 2 (37:55):
What?

Speaker 4 (37:55):
It started around nine to eleven, and then it's been
recession after depression, after war after war. I mean, they
call us the most unstable generation for a reason. We
didn't get the what's a polite way of saying this
that doesn't insult anyone? There's no way to okay, will
they screwed us up so bad? Like when has it

(38:17):
ever been good? We can't buy houses, We can't you know,
they blamed it on us buying avocado toast.

Speaker 6 (38:24):
But but don't you think that, Like every generation's probably
thought the same thing, Like, I don't think there was
ever a generation where it was like everything's great.

Speaker 7 (38:36):
Because.

Speaker 4 (38:38):
It's definitely not great. We just statistically the only generation
that's poorer, sicker, dying younger than our parents. Every generation.
Financially things have gotten better. We're just the first generation
whose parents essentially fucked them. And it wasn't it was

(38:58):
it wasn't you know, intentional, It was just Baby Boomers
came from the greed is Good generation and so they
became very you know, self serving. You got the gen X,
which became very nihilistic, and Millennials, which you know, were
the antidepressant generation. Yeah, and then now apparently it's cool

(39:20):
to have mental illness with gen Z. I think it
was eating the tide pods.

Speaker 7 (39:26):
I can't there's a jackmonon from Earth.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
Just hit it.

Speaker 4 (39:33):
Yeah, Now, can I ask you a question? You see
this a lot. There was a male comedian we dealt
with a while ago. Really I like him, Matt. He
really benefited from kind of pretty privilege. But everyone got
on him because they didn't find his jokes funny. You you, yourself,
are very very funny but very very pretty. Do you

(39:54):
find that a contradiction, because that's one of the things
we have people writing in about. Is it hard to
be funny and pretty? Do people expect you to just
pretty old funny?

Speaker 6 (40:02):
It's definitely not helpful to be Yeah, it's definitely not
an advantage to be.

Speaker 7 (40:09):
Pretty as a comedian. That's not like a net positive.
Matt got really.

Speaker 6 (40:14):
Lucky because he he kind of reactivated, like the Backstreet
Boys phenomenon, where we saw like girls that are like
just like of a certain age that are feral and
want to see him and think he's hot and he's
funny enough and like whatever.

Speaker 4 (40:29):
I had a little work done though, if you saw
him before, oh.

Speaker 6 (40:33):
I know, but listen, whatever makes you feel better about yourself,
do it. I'm like, we live in La everyone gets
plastic surgery. I don't really care. Yeah, I mean for me,
I don't know comedy any other way, So I have
a hard time answering that question. I don't know what
it would be like if I was tough and I
was like, you know, if I looked different.

Speaker 7 (40:56):
I don't know how different.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
It would be.

Speaker 6 (40:58):
But I think that is a reason why I try
so much harder with my joke writing to be as
smart and as sharp as I possibly can be, so
that like if you took my face and my body
and everything away, it would still be like rock solid
jokes that I'm really proud of.

Speaker 7 (41:15):
So I do my best. I have to work harder
because of it, but I don't mind.

Speaker 6 (41:20):
I've always worked hard and you know it's working. And
I'd also rather I'd rather be pretty than not.

Speaker 4 (41:27):
That's fair, No, it's it's I think comedy is probably
the only profession by being pretty is a negative in
your extreme.

Speaker 6 (41:34):
But it's why I want, you know, I do want
to get into acting, but like I said, Hollywood's on fire.

Speaker 7 (41:39):
So I'm just like, I don't know what's common for me,
but I would love.

Speaker 6 (41:41):
To get into a field that rewards my looks before
they go away, because honestly, I've got like five years
left and the I'm going to turn into a cabbage.

Speaker 2 (41:51):
Oh my god.

Speaker 5 (41:52):
You know you were talking about the whole process of
you writing a joke because you want them to hate
regardless of what your appearance is.

Speaker 2 (41:58):
What's it like writing out your comedy routine.

Speaker 7 (42:02):
I have a very structured way of writing.

Speaker 6 (42:04):
I do premise act out writing, where I pick a
topic and then the way that I do it as
I put the topic in the middle of the paper
and then I do four quadrants. And the quadrants are
different premises, which are what's hard about, what scares.

Speaker 7 (42:18):
Me about, what bugs me about, and what's weird about.

Speaker 6 (42:21):
So those are the four like kind of universal premises,
So like, say, the the the premises, what's hard about
being from Wisconsin is people don't understand how much we drink,
Like they just did a survey recently in Wisconsin. Or
they did a survey recently of the fifty drunkest counties
in all of the United States, and forty seven of

(42:41):
them were in Wisconsin, Like that's so many of them.
Then the map was color coded. It was red if
you were a drunk county and blue if you weren't.
So Wisconsin was just red, and then there's a blue
spot in the middle and I was like, oh my god,
I didn't know we had a sober county. So I
zoomed in and it was a lake so that we
don't So like the premise is like the universal truth

(43:02):
where everyone can like get on board, you know, and
they're like, oh, what's hard about being from Wisconsin is, yeah,
people don't understand how much they drink. And then I
do the act out, which is like where the joke
is coming. So I do like very structured joke writing,
and I always want to impress myself, like I want
to make myself laugh, and you know, I think my
first special was really strong. There was not a joke

(43:25):
in there. I didn't love my second special was was
it was fine. I could have done better. And now
I'm going to give myself time to get this third
one ready to a place where I like blow both
of those.

Speaker 7 (43:34):
Out of the water.

Speaker 4 (43:36):
I've been talking to Netflix if they want to go
next week, they need content.

Speaker 7 (43:42):
What do you mean content?

Speaker 4 (43:44):
Everyone needs content? So all of these places are pushing,
so you may not have as much time as you
think when I say I've been talking to Netflix.

Speaker 7 (43:52):
Oh, I never know what's really going on with you.

Speaker 6 (43:55):
You're just like this elusive Australia, Like I don't know
what your real job is, what you're actually up to.
You're just like a mystic person in my life that
in case you come in and you're like this is happening,
then you're like, I have cod.

Speaker 7 (44:10):
So I don't know what's going out with you.

Speaker 4 (44:13):
I'm sort of human trafficking hood on Netflix.

Speaker 5 (44:15):
Just on that note, part of the next bit that's
coming up, or if we got to go in a different.

Speaker 7 (44:25):
Direction, what sorry, what'd you say?

Speaker 2 (44:28):
It's a bad segue.

Speaker 5 (44:29):
What do you have any ideas is what you'd like
to put into your next routine or anything that you're
spitballing right now.

Speaker 6 (44:34):
Oh yeah, So I mean I this last tour I
did was my whole new hour. So I have it
figured out and I'm excited about it. I feel good
about it. I feel like the jokes are strong again.
I feel like the performance has gotten better. It all
feels good. I think the thing with me is my
two specials that I put out have both in thirty
minute specials, and the industry standard is an hour, and

(44:57):
I don't like hours. I have a really hard time
like if I hope there's a thumbs up. I was like,
if I can put out a rock solid thirty minutes
every year or two years instead of like an hour
that has thirty good minutes and thirty whatever minutes in it,
I would rather do. I would rather do less. But
I think I want to try for an hour this time.

(45:22):
And the material is, you know, this last tour was
called My Mom's Dad, a comedy tour, so it's a
lot of it's about my mom again and dating and
failing at dating and divorce. And my comedy is always
about my life. So whenever I'm putting anything out, people
kind of know exactly where I am in my life
or exactly where I was a year prior, because you

(45:43):
know the time to get it out, it usually takes
a little time.

Speaker 7 (45:45):
But I'm not doing anything different.

Speaker 6 (45:47):
I'm not going to like become an observational comic like Seinfeld.
I'm not going to become a political comic. Like the
lane I'm in is the lane I'm going to stay
in until I quit.

Speaker 5 (45:58):
This might be hard to add to then eat for you.
In that case, more success might mean worse shows or
less material, right.

Speaker 4 (46:07):
You can also you can also cheat it. What I've
seen done with with like the hour specials is them
do like forty five minutes and then do two comedians
will do an opening set of like seven minutes or fifteen,
so you can kind of cheat it. You prefer to
keep it in that realm.

Speaker 7 (46:22):
That's the setup for every comedy shows.

Speaker 6 (46:24):
We'll have a host that does ten minutes, and then
a feature that does twenty minutes, and then I do
between forty five minutes in an hour, depending on how
I'm feeling. But when you're putting a special out, it's
like me, I'm not ever going to put out like
the opening comics.

Speaker 4 (46:37):
It's not selling anyone else.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
Fuck them. It's my time, absolutely, it is no mind.

Speaker 4 (46:42):
Everyone. Every time we swear, we give money the Boys
and Girls Club of America, the Humane Society of America,
and Free m Might we sweat because we care?

Speaker 7 (46:49):
Yeah, because we care? Yeah. So no, I don't, I don't.

Speaker 6 (46:53):
I don't know. We'll see, we'll see how much longer
I hang on to this comedy thing that I'm chasing.

Speaker 4 (46:59):
You're doing well, though not. You've already got past the
point that most people get to. Most people will go
do open mics. They don't go on tour.

Speaker 7 (47:08):
No, I know, I just want to.

Speaker 6 (47:09):
You know, the money I'm making, if we could amplify
it by like one hundred, that would be great. It's like, basically,
the effort doesn't match how much money I want to
be making.

Speaker 7 (47:19):
And that's bring.

Speaker 4 (47:19):
On private sponsorship? Huh do you bring on private sponsorship?
A lot of comedians, a lot of actors, a lot
of models, their managers will pull them on sponsors, essentially
clothing sponsors, jewelry sponsors to wear during their stand up routines.
They give them a shout out and they get paid
to do that. No, kick your manager in the junk.

Speaker 6 (47:39):
Okay, well, you know how managers it was like you.

Speaker 4 (47:44):
It was like you. You have a whole stage and
a whole room full of people, and you're touring the country,
get like five sponsors. All you have to do is
be like, hey, everyone chat like we do with Hilton,
shout out to Hilton Hotels like they think they want.
They really are nice to us, so I love them.
But in general, yeah.

Speaker 7 (48:01):
Yeah, now I'll figure it out. You'll figure it out
for me summer.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
Okay, I'm human trafficking.

Speaker 4 (48:08):
I'm human trafficking you to Netflix. I don't I don't
do the sponsorship talking a little bit. I will yell
at your manager if they don't get it for you,
because a shame you should be making more. No, you're
incredibly talented. I really admire what you're doing. It's something
you know, I wouldn't have the guts to do. I
know a lot of people wouldn't have the guts to
do that. You've chosen one of the hardest jobs in

(48:30):
the world, which is going out there and you're bearing
your soul. You're taking your most vulnerable moments for other
people's entertainment and humor. I mean, you've really, when you
break it down, chosen probably one of the most difficult.
But yeah, I mean, really, you've ripping your soul, Bayer.
How do you come back from that at the end

(48:51):
of a show, Well.

Speaker 6 (48:53):
It depends on how they react, right, because if they
love it, I feel great and I feel validated and
I feel seen, And I have people come up to
me after the show that are like, you know, my
mom killed herself and I never laughed about it until tonight,
you know. Like I have people that I help them
heal through the art form, and then I have people
who hate it, and that feels like being burned alive

(49:16):
in front of strangers.

Speaker 7 (49:18):
Like so when I am baring my soul and.

Speaker 6 (49:20):
Talking about my divorce or something that horrible that happened
to me, people just sit there like I'm like, Okay,
I'm gonna kill myself.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
You know.

Speaker 4 (49:29):
Yeah, a show about suicide, about suicide. That's great.

Speaker 5 (49:33):
The uh, while we're there, I'm curious they I think
it's do you have a question?

Speaker 2 (49:38):
You can go ahead.

Speaker 5 (49:39):
I think it's a little cliche that we as interviewers
asked the guests, Hey, what's your worst experience doing this thing?
But for you, do you have an most interesting experience
either with the specific person or a show.

Speaker 7 (49:54):
Oh, they all blend together.

Speaker 6 (49:56):
Honestly, the ones that stick out are the worst ones
because they're like embedded in your soul, you know, it's
like the good one. It's kind of like comments on
the internet. Right, It's like when you see a good one,
you're like, oh, that's nice, and then when you see
a bad one, you're like, oh my god, they just
they that's going to sit with me forever. And that
is kind of what comedy's like, because when it's great,
it's great, but you don't you know that it can

(50:18):
be great, but you don't remember the specifics of it
being great. But when it's bad, it like changes you
on a cellulil level.

Speaker 4 (50:26):
It sounds like you're losing a fight. Fight he remembers
the most is the one he lost in like forty
seven seconds.

Speaker 7 (50:32):
Yeah, yeah, Yeah.

Speaker 6 (50:34):
That's like for me probably like the first time I
ever bombed doing comedy.

Speaker 7 (50:39):
So I got I got very lucky. Like I said,
I took this class. I did a showcase.

Speaker 6 (50:44):
After I did the showcase, my first show after that
was at the Comedy Store. Right after that, Bobby Lee
asked me to feature for him, who's like a pretty
big comedian and.

Speaker 7 (50:54):
And I like, I just had a lot of momentum
right away. And then another guy asked.

Speaker 6 (50:58):
Me to go to Vegas and do shows with and
he's like, can you do twelve minutes, which is like
an amount of time I can do right now with
my eyes closed. But as a comic who had like
four weeks of experience, I had seven minutes. I had
these seven minutes that I wrote in that class.

Speaker 7 (51:13):
That was all I had.

Speaker 6 (51:14):
And we went to Vegas and he's like, do twelve minutes,
and so in my mind, I was like, I'm going
to end strong. I'm going to start with the new stuff.
So I started with stuff that was like completely untested,
and I was supposed to do twelve minutes. I think
they lit me to get off stage at about four minutes,
and I it was awful, Like there was a point
where a guy started playing the cricket noises on his
phone and I just had to I had to get

(51:38):
off stage early.

Speaker 7 (51:39):
And then I the worst part was I had another show.

Speaker 6 (51:42):
We had another show to do after that, and so
I went back to the hotel room and contemplated suicide.

Speaker 7 (51:48):
And then I was like, oh, I.

Speaker 6 (51:49):
Guess I have to go do this show, and then
with the other show, I was like, I can only
do seven minutes. All I have is seven minutes, and
so I told him that they put me first. I
did the seven minutes. It was great and it was over.
But that like the way I felt. I didn't push
through it. I wasn't like I'm gonna be a comedian.
I was like, I think I should like stop.

Speaker 4 (52:10):
Yeah, I'm glad you didn't. You are phenomenal. Yes we are.
At the end of the show. I've got my sound
engineer telling us this time. Can you tell everyone where
