Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to daughter issues. This is gonna be a short one.
I'm just gonna play an audio clip from the beloved
Polly Shore, and I'm gonna see if Telissa can decipher
what he's saying. Do you know who Polly Shore is?
This is gonna break my heart. I've met Polly.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's the only reason, because
you met him, I don't know who he is.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
So we've we've only met a he Did you just
assume Polly's pronouns as a gen z.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Pleased?

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Physically? Yes, I'm not sure how Polly would answer that mentally. Yes,
he is still with us. Polly Shore is a fucking legend.
He I've only I've only met him a couple of times.
He probably knows who I am. If he saw me,
he says, what's up. We don't chat, we don't text.
We're not buddies, Budy, but he but he body right?

(01:04):
Are you getting confused a little bit? Yeah, So we've
definitely talked. He's a really good dude, and his his
fame and his what people who live in La know
him for. Of course, they know his ridiculous movie career.
He's a legend. He's also attached to the comedy store.

(01:24):
His mother and father started the comedy store and his mother, Mitzi,
is the one that blew it up, made it big.
But I think the rumor was she got it in
the divorce, like her when when her and his dad split,
and she she made it what it was. She was
the booker, she decided whose names went on the building like,
she made it what it was. And then she she

(01:46):
died just a few years ago, sadly, but she's an
absolute legend in comedy. Everyone loves her. And then Polly
and his family took over, and I heard he may
not necessarily be owning it anymore. I don't know all
the details, none of my business, but yeah, he's a legend.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
Man.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
He's there all the time. He performs all the time.
Perform there, oh yeah, all the time. As a matter
of fact, the day after his mom died, the day after,
he went on stage and I was in the main
room with him, and he goes on stage and goes, well,
you heard the news. Welcome to Polly's Teddy Club. Yeah funny,
Welcome to Polly Shows Teddy. Oh yeah, I mean for sure,

(02:25):
And it was so funny. The crowd just like yeah,
this huge laughter, huge laughter and applause break. Yeah, he
was just gonna split stripper poles in the strip club. Yeah.
So he's really funny. He's a good dude, but he's
known for this character that he does. So I'm gonna
play this for you. I don't want to play it
over and over. Okay, I want to just play this

(02:47):
one time to see if you know what's going on.
So listen closely. It's turned up all the way. I
don't want to play it over and over if you
need me to back it up. Essentially, there's Polly. Polly's
character is is at dinner with with someone. This is
from a movie called enco Man, which I want to
show you and then we'll do an episode on it.
