I used to listen to you on my way to
work oky in well, when I had.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
A real job.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
What was your real job when you were listening to
me on the way to work?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
I was it's like a desk job. I moved to
LA and you know, you get out your I don't
Thomas guide, I don't know, and you just try to
get to Santa Monica from West Hollywood before you die,
before your hangover.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Where's all.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Did we keep you awake and entertained? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Because it was on KIS FM.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Right. So I'm from Dallas and when I was a kid,
I would listen to the kids FM there, And so
when I moved to LA, I was like, well, I.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Guess listen to a kiss FM.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Same music found you guys of course?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah yeah yeah, And so that was it.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
And I just remember listening to your very soothing voice.
Thank you and uh and so this is like a
big homecoming for me.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
That's so fun. Yeah, it's full circle. I just now
look at you at what age did you know? Number
one that you were funny and number one that you're
so smart?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
It happened this morning, and thank you so much. I
woke up and I was like, you know.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
What, Like I'm too good for everyone, funny, I'm smart, Like,
let's let's try it. Let's let's go on a morning show,
let's talk about it. And that's when it happened at
the Buzzer. Actually wasn't until you brought it up just now.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Because I didn't.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I was like, maybe I'll do something in math, something
with the law.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
But you chose, you chose comedy.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I chose comedy.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
It chose me.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I think it chose you because I can't imagine that
something that you could develop you had to. This is
in your DNA.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
It's in your DNA.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
So anyone thinking of moving here to pursue comedy, get
a blood test first, get a mental health check, see
if it's in that that DNA before you, before you
pack up your blazer, your Chevy Blazer.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I drive all this all day with you. Eliza, do it.
This is great, Eliza Schlessinger. A different Animal and Amazon
Prime currently stream. We got that, and then your live
tour this fall. How many cities are you going to
grace with your presence?
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
I haven't counted them because you're always adding shows, and
you're always adding cities, but you know, it's a it's
a normal fall tour. And I actually just it's funny
to think about that because I just wrapped my tour
where we shot my Amazon special this last weekend in Auckland,
New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Oh, that's where you go to end your tour the
other side of the world.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
For this city away the toilet's go the other wry
and and so I just ended it, and so, but
I wanted to do one more special show for Mother's Day, okay,
and so I'm going to do it at the Brea
Improv on May tenth. I wanted to do something special
for moms.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Are you a mom?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I have a mom. I have one son. He is
twenty three. He is an artificial intelligence master student at Stanford.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I don't know why I thought you were gonna say
artificial inseminator like I thought, and I was like, oh
my god, he.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Worked with.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
You don't see a lot of people in entertainment my
kid works in science at Stanford.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Usually it's like.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
They head up my Twitter account. He lives in my poolhouse.
Good for you, cool, flex Ellen.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I know I don't say it very often, but that's
really good to say. It sounds like a catch flexed.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, yeah, he's well, yeah he's I mean, of course
i'm his mom. I think that. But I'm a mom
of one. Yeah, you're a mom of one.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I'm a mom of two two. But you know what,
they don't go to Stanford, so you're these losers. My
kids did not get into Stanford. They're one and three,
by the way, just so, but they probably. I don't
see anyone in my family getting to go somewhere like that.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
But that's great. But I I mean, I guess you
would know this then, just having been a mom for
for so long.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Yes, I wanted to create something because as a mom
and I'm just starting off in my momhood journey. It's
it's a mug, it's a gift basket of like lavender
baff beads.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Do they even make those anymore?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
And it's some like I remember cutting up mushrooms for
my mom for Mother's Day and like slicing them roll
on a plate and being like happy, Mother's so weird. Yeah,
like this you don't have access to like a frying pan,
but I had access to the knife, and I was like, well,
let's make something just for the moms. So I wanted
to do. I'm doing a show I created. It's called
a Brunch of Moms, and it's going to be a
(04:17):
brunch show. Okay, at the improv, we're eating and laughing.
We're eating, but you're eating brunch items. I got the
improv to make a beautiful brunch menu. I was like,
of course, anybody is invited, and dads are invited, but
like moms want to have a brunch. You don't want
to sit down to like chicken fingers or maybe you
do brea.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Maybe maybe you're just like I need I need these calories.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
And we're doing of course their stand up, but we're
doing like giveaways.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
It's an interactive experience.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I want to know from the audience, like what's the
worst thing you've told your kid, what's the worst case
of mom brain you've had? And we're gonna end the
whole and there's going to be We've got our friends
at Groundwork giving away free coffee, which every mom needs.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yes, we're doing beauty products from Bliss.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
We got a lot of people who know the struggle
of being a mom. And at the end it ends
with a mom moves dance off because I don't know
about you, but I've noticed, despite being white, it's it's
gotten worse dancing. I used to be the girl like
there's foot there's raw footage of me twerking somewhere at
like Echo Plex right in like twenty fifteen, and now
like maybe we can get the arms moving, like your
(05:19):
body is just stiff.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And so I know I'm not alone in this.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I know other moms are like swaying too hard, just
Brina Carpenter's Espresso and like thinking you're it. So that's
that's what we're gonna do, and it's gonna I would
recommend people ubers.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Okay, all right, Oh my god, this is a brunch
of moms. Eliza Schlessinger Worst Mom Awards, Mom moves, dance up, prices,
real brunch.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Real brunch. That's the highlight.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Get some real brunch. Selena em has messaged you on
this phone.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
That's that's actually yeah, that's Starle's phone.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Who is she? That's my daughter's aid. Oh okay, we
can't make fun of that. All right, you're an angel, Selena.
I just text back.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Not right now, I'm promoting a show. Selena spelled differently.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I gotta say, though, I do love an earlier start
time on any event.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I want you too, because you're old, pr and as
am I that's right. On my birthday, I did a
rave and I started at seven pm.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Thank you, And every parent was like, this is the
greatest system. This is what we wanted to underrated. Getting
your day going.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Come, have some champagne, take an uber from wherever you
live in Orange County or further whatever's around in the ocean.
Come from the ocean, and and then be home by two.
Take a nap, yes, get drunk again the best right
There was just.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
A study at the thing that moms want the most
is just an uninterrupted nap and then a meal where
the food is still hot. Okay, right, So so those
were the top two things. And you're I've been You're
giving us all like brunch at noon breya improv and
then we go home and then we nap, and it
says glass of champagne include and wanted to make sure.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I think there's something so cute about being like free champagne.
Come on down.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I think too, like a little squirrel matre d is
like free champagne. And everybody gets prizes for coming, and
I just wanted to create a warm atmosphere. And the
stand up is geared toward parenting commentary, but I wanted
to involve the audience because as I've gone on this
journey of only three years as a mom, there is
a lot of bonding to be made. Like there's a
(07:26):
lot of mom on mom sorry, it's not a porn category,
mom on mom hate me, and a lot of just
you know, moms just judging and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I don't subscribe to any of that.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I judge.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
You want a place where you.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Can just vent, where you can say that you accidentally
fed your kid a bunch of chocolate and they went
to bed, where you can just like let loose and nobody.
If you have the time to judge, then you're not
parenting hard enough.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
That's very true. That ass you just got to move
through it and you've never stopped. I saw you on
stage pregnant. Oh wow, Yeah, I thought you didn't know
who I was.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I was like the vibe.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I was like, Oh, she's so professional, she's totally she's
in it, And you do know that makes me feel
so good?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I did. I saw you on stage pregnant, and I
was I was like, Okay, you don't see a lot
of female comedians, so I love that there are. There
just seemed to be more now and they're my favorites.
And then there you are pregnant. I'm like, this is
the cool I've never seen a pregnant comedian before.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
What club was it?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
That's a comedy store? At the comedy store. Yes, I
worked through both pregnancies. I was at the ice house
the night before I went into the hospital.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Way, I mean, I also sent myself. I didn't like
go into labor. I was too old.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
We have to do something, okay, all right and so
but but I was just like, I'm gonna work until
I'm done, Like why not?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
It just made it so.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I'm so glad you interesting? Yeah, how was it fantastic?
She's like, it wasn't great.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
We know we left our asses off, had my adult
son with me by Stanford gen and.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Did he laugh?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Good? We like to hit all different demographics.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
We all left. Well, you showed up everyone else. And
I think that's probably what you do when you're in
a lineup and and you come out and it's like
you forget everyone else. When Eliza's on the stake.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You know, you come to eat. I came to eat
that crowd.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah you did. You You're beautiful and you're funny. Thank
you and your husband recognized that in you. And we
were looking through your Instagram. I said, well, I want
to know this love story.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Oh so he's a shy. Yeah, he's a chef.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Did he get you through food? No?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
And I know that my answer is supposed to be like, yeah,
he made a meat load. I eat it and I
was like, let's have sex later. I'm so full. I
am not like this is I've never found someone who's
related to this. But like, I'm not a food person,
Like I don't have comfort food, Like I just kind
of like I eat what's around and you get it through.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
You're probably the type that you are, not how can
tell you smell it?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, maybe that's it.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I'm not hungry till I'm angry, okay, and then it's
like I need a nap and a snack. And I
met him and we had the same types of schedules.
You know. At the time, he was the opening chef
for Bloodstoe's Barbecue. Oh yes, we love Yes, Kevin's a
good friend and so when I met him, I think
I think he had just opened that or he was done,
and he had also opened Prime Pizza on Librea, you know,
(10:10):
and he does this with other guys and whatever. And yeah,
so I met him and we both worked at night,
so we had I would get off stage and it
was like, well, let's eat something, and then he made
me food and the cutest thing ever.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Some people will agree with this, some people won't. One
time he was like three dates in he was like,
I want to make you pasta. I want to make
you pasta. Like what pasta do you like? And I
was like, you know, I don't know. I guess spaghetti,
barn ara maybe with He's like.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Well, what do you want on it? Because I don't.
I don't, I'm not, you're not.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
And I was like with with chicken, okay, and he
was like, okay, I really like this girl.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I'd like to see her naked. Of course he makes me.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
It was like it was some kind of pasta with chicken.
And it wasn't until years later he's like, I gotta
tell you that is a trash order and I was like, yeah, what.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Do you mean? And he was like, you don't like
add a protein.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
He was like, that's like a giant like chain restaurant,
and like, I'm from Dallas and were going to like
Caraba's Italian grill where you like add a chicken breast
for like six dollars, and I just thought you had
to have chicken at every meal to like eat your protein,
like in my head, as like a Caucasian woman, I
was like, if you only have pasta, you're not gonna
have the protein.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
You won't me balanced. And he was like, it's a
garbage order.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
To like add a chicken breast, like nobody other than
like mass chain restaurants in the Houston area.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
And now I'm like really insecure about it now, I
would never love that. He didn't say anything at the time,
he did so nice later.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Want to see your naked Yeah, we wanted to make
sure that ring was on my finger before. He's like,
by the way, you're garbage, like have fun with your
Maggiano's happy hour order, like are you on your break?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
And so I'm so there's people crying in their cars
like my chicken, bro, but it's not an Italian thing
to do.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Now, that's an amazing love story now we're in love.
Your website's so simple. I love simple. It's Eliza dot com.
I l i Za dot com. Yeah, a brunch of moms.
This is gonna be Will you do this like as
a traditional thing now every year?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
That's what I'm trying to see. I'd like it to
be a bigger thing. I think women and by the way,
everybody's invited.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Less we get sued. Everybody's invited.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
But I do think women need spaces where they can
feel comfortable and you create an environment and almost a frenzy.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That's because of the alcohol.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yes, where I just wanted to be like this hard,
super this really fun, hard hitting, like crazy raucous hour
where you get spit out of there and you're like,
what was that?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
All this free stuff I got? We deserve like two
hours of just fun.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yes, and parents too, I mean we would love dads
to participate, Like, I just think you need that in
a wholesome environment.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
And we'll do it in Breya.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
We'll do and you know what, we'll do it in Brea.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, Breya improv.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I picked.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
I picked a nice improv and I picked an I
always I always have a great time in Brea. I
mean I've been playing that brea and prov since the
first location.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Okay, so that's.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
How you know? Yeah, yeah, and we're excited to take
it there.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Are you done having children? Or is that too personal
of a question to ask?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
It's not personal? I think that's weird people. How dare
you ask that?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Some people get weird about it.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Well, I guess if you phrase it like, are you done?
Because that last one was strange, are you done?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
We are you done?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I think yeah, two is good. My husband always says,
you want to be population neutral. Okay, right, so it
cancels us out.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
That's good. Yeah, breach, that's interesting.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
You don't see a lot of you don't see a
lot of multiple kids in LA. You're either you're either
really poor or really rich. You're like really conservative, or
you're just like whatever. And so we're just going to
keep it too, keep responsible. Yeah, yeah, right, that's what
we're going to do.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
We're looking forward to this. It's an interactive comedy show
with Elizah Schlessinger, a bunch of moms. This is going
to be so much fun. It's so much fun to
meet you in person, so.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Much fun to do this.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
And again, just the years of like slightly hungover, like
you're like maybe I'm still intoxicated, like driving to work
just so you could answer a phone. But listening to you, guys,
listening to you in the mornings.

it's a mug, it's a gift basket of like lavender
baff beads.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Do they even make those anymore?
Speaker 3 (03:56):
And it's some like I remember cutting up mushrooms for
my mom for Mother's Day and like slicing them roll
on a plate and being like happy, Mother's so weird. Yeah,
like this you don't have access to like a frying pan,
but I had access to the knife, and I was like, well,
let's make something just for the moms. So I wanted
to do. I'm doing a show I created. It's called
a Brunch of Moms, and it's going to be a
(04:17):
brunch show. Okay, at the improv, we're eating and laughing.
We're eating, but you're eating brunch items. I got the
improv to make a beautiful brunch menu. I was like,
of course, anybody is invited, and dads are invited, but
like moms want to have a brunch. You don't want
to sit down to like chicken fingers or maybe you
do brea.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Maybe maybe you're just like I need I need these calories.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
And we're doing of course their stand up, but we're
doing like giveaways.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
It's an interactive experience.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I want to know from the audience, like what's the
worst thing you've told your kid, what's the worst case
of mom brain you've had? And we're gonna end the
whole and there's going to be We've got our friends
at Groundwork giving away free coffee, which every mom needs.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yes, we're doing beauty products from Bliss.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
We got a lot of people who know the struggle
of being a mom. And at the end it ends
with a mom moves dance off because I don't know
about you, but I've noticed, despite being white, it's it's
gotten worse dancing. I used to be the girl like
there's foot there's raw footage of me twerking somewhere at
like Echo Plex right in like twenty fifteen, and now
like maybe we can get the arms moving, like your
(05:19):
body is just stiff.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And so I know I'm not alone in this.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I know other moms are like swaying too hard, just
Brina Carpenter's Espresso and like thinking you're it. So that's
that's what we're gonna do, and it's gonna I would
recommend people ubers.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Okay, all right, Oh my god, this is a brunch
of moms. Eliza Schlessinger Worst Mom Awards, Mom moves, dance up, prices,
real brunch.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Real brunch. That's the highlight.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Get some real brunch. Selena em has messaged you on
this phone.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
That's that's actually yeah, that's Starle's phone.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Who is she? That's my daughter's aid. Oh okay, we
can't make fun of that. All right, you're an angel, Selena.
I just text back.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Not right now, I'm promoting a show. Selena spelled differently.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I gotta say, though, I do love an earlier start
time on any event.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
I want you too, because you're old, pr and as
am I that's right. On my birthday, I did a
rave and I started at seven pm.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Thank you, And every parent was like, this is the
greatest system. This is what we wanted to underrated. Getting
your day going.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Come, have some champagne, take an uber from wherever you
live in Orange County or further whatever's around in the ocean.
Come from the ocean, and and then be home by two.
Take a nap, yes, get drunk again the best right
There was just.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
A study at the thing that moms want the most
is just an uninterrupted nap and then a meal where
the food is still hot. Okay, right, So so those
were the top two things. And you're I've been You're
giving us all like brunch at noon breya improv and
then we go home and then we nap, and it
says glass of champagne include and wanted to make sure.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
I think there's something so cute about being like free champagne.
Come on down.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I think too, like a little squirrel matre d is
like free champagne. And everybody gets prizes for coming, and
I just wanted to create a warm atmosphere. And the
stand up is geared toward parenting commentary, but I wanted
to involve the audience because as I've gone on this
journey of only three years as a mom, there is
a lot of bonding to be made. Like there's a
(07:26):
lot of mom on mom sorry, it's not a porn category,
mom on mom hate me, and a lot of just
you know, moms just judging and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I don't subscribe to any of that.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
I judge.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
You want a place where you.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Can just vent, where you can say that you accidentally
fed your kid a bunch of chocolate and they went
to bed, where you can just like let loose and nobody.
If you have the time to judge, then you're not
parenting hard enough.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
That's very true. That ass you just got to move
through it and you've never stopped. I saw you on
stage pregnant. Oh wow, Yeah, I thought you didn't know
who I was.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I was like the vibe.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
I was like, Oh, she's so professional, she's totally she's
in it, And you do know that makes me feel
so good?
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I did. I saw you on stage pregnant, and I
was I was like, Okay, you don't see a lot
of female comedians, so I love that there are. There
just seemed to be more now and they're my favorites.
And then there you are pregnant. I'm like, this is
the cool I've never seen a pregnant comedian before.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
What club was it?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
That's a comedy store? At the comedy store. Yes, I
worked through both pregnancies. I was at the ice house
the night before I went into the hospital.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Way, I mean, I also sent myself. I didn't like
go into labor. I was too old.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
We have to do something, okay, all right and so
but but I was just like, I'm gonna work until
I'm done, Like why not?
Speaker 1 (08:41):
It just made it so.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I'm so glad you interesting? Yeah, how was it fantastic?
She's like, it wasn't great.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
We know we left our asses off, had my adult
son with me by Stanford gen and.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Did he laugh?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Good? We like to hit all different demographics.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
We all left. Well, you showed up everyone else. And
I think that's probably what you do when you're in
a lineup and and you come out and it's like
you forget everyone else. When Eliza's on the stake.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
You know, you come to eat. I came to eat
that crowd.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah you did. You You're beautiful and you're funny. Thank
you and your husband recognized that in you. And we
were looking through your Instagram. I said, well, I want
to know this love story.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Oh so he's a shy. Yeah, he's a chef.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Did he get you through food? No?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
And I know that my answer is supposed to be like, yeah,
he made a meat load. I eat it and I
was like, let's have sex later. I'm so full. I
am not like this is I've never found someone who's
related to this. But like, I'm not a food person,
Like I don't have comfort food, Like I just kind
of like I eat what's around and you get it through.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
You're probably the type that you are, not how can
tell you smell it?
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Yeah, maybe that's it.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I'm not hungry till I'm angry, okay, and then it's
like I need a nap and a snack. And I
met him and we had the same types of schedules.
You know. At the time, he was the opening chef
for Bloodstoe's Barbecue. Oh yes, we love Yes, Kevin's a
good friend and so when I met him, I think
I think he had just opened that or he was done,
and he had also opened Prime Pizza on Librea, you know,
(10:10):
and he does this with other guys and whatever. And yeah,
so I met him and we both worked at night,
so we had I would get off stage and it
was like, well, let's eat something, and then he made
me food and the cutest thing ever.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Some people will agree with this, some people won't. One
time he was like three dates in he was like,
I want to make you pasta. I want to make
you pasta. Like what pasta do you like? And I
was like, you know, I don't know. I guess spaghetti,
barn ara maybe with He's like.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Well, what do you want on it? Because I don't.
I don't, I'm not, you're not.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
And I was like with with chicken, okay, and he
was like, okay, I really like this girl.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
I'd like to see her naked. Of course he makes me.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
It was like it was some kind of pasta with chicken.
And it wasn't until years later he's like, I gotta
tell you that is a trash order and I was like, yeah, what.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Do you mean? And he was like, you don't like
add a protein.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
He was like, that's like a giant like chain restaurant,
and like, I'm from Dallas and were going to like
Caraba's Italian grill where you like add a chicken breast
for like six dollars, and I just thought you had
to have chicken at every meal to like eat your protein,
like in my head, as like a Caucasian woman, I
was like, if you only have pasta, you're not gonna
have the protein.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
You won't me balanced. And he was like, it's a
garbage order.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
To like add a chicken breast, like nobody other than
like mass chain restaurants in the Houston area.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
And now I'm like really insecure about it now, I
would never love that. He didn't say anything at the time,
he did so nice later.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Want to see your naked Yeah, we wanted to make
sure that ring was on my finger before. He's like,
by the way, you're garbage, like have fun with your
Maggiano's happy hour order, like are you on your break?
Speaker 2 (11:55):
And so I'm so there's people crying in their cars
like my chicken, bro, but it's not an Italian thing
to do.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Now, that's an amazing love story now we're in love.
Your website's so simple. I love simple. It's Eliza dot com.
I l i Za dot com. Yeah, a brunch of moms.
This is gonna be Will you do this like as
a traditional thing now every year?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
That's what I'm trying to see. I'd like it to
be a bigger thing. I think women and by the way,
everybody's invited.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Less we get sued. Everybody's invited.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
But I do think women need spaces where they can
feel comfortable and you create an environment and almost a frenzy.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
That's because of the alcohol.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yes, where I just wanted to be like this hard,
super this really fun, hard hitting, like crazy raucous hour
where you get spit out of there and you're like,
what was that?
Speaker 2 (12:42):
All this free stuff I got? We deserve like two
hours of just fun.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yes, and parents too, I mean we would love dads
to participate, Like, I just think you need that in
a wholesome environment.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
And we'll do it in Breya.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
We'll do and you know what, we'll do it in Brea.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, Breya improv.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
I picked.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
I picked a nice improv and I picked an I
always I always have a great time in Brea. I
mean I've been playing that brea and prov since the
first location.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Okay, so that's.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
How you know? Yeah, yeah, and we're excited to take
it there.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Are you done having children? Or is that too personal
of a question to ask?
Speaker 2 (13:13):
It's not personal? I think that's weird people. How dare
you ask that?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Some people get weird about it.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Well, I guess if you phrase it like, are you done?
Because that last one was strange, are you done?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
We are you done?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
I think yeah, two is good. My husband always says,
you want to be population neutral. Okay, right, so it
cancels us out.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
That's good. Yeah, breach, that's interesting.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
You don't see a lot of you don't see a
lot of multiple kids in LA. You're either you're either
really poor or really rich. You're like really conservative, or
you're just like whatever. And so we're just going to
keep it too, keep responsible. Yeah, yeah, right, that's what
we're going to do.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
We're looking forward to this. It's an interactive comedy show
with Elizah Schlessinger, a bunch of moms. This is going
to be so much fun. It's so much fun to
meet you in person, so.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Much fun to do this.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
And again, just the years of like slightly hungover, like
you're like maybe I'm still intoxicated, like driving to work
just so you could answer a phone. But listening to you, guys,
listening to you in the mornings.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
