You're gonna love the Egg.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
By the way, It's an awesome place to play. So
let's talk about where do you want where do you
want to start in the last six years. I mean,
I got a handful of stuff in half of them.
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I don't really want to bring up Let's start with
the head. Let's start with the head.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Okay, you want to start with the head.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Let's do you guys remember when Kathy got canceled.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
In the room? Honey, Castled is an understatement, Okay, don't
tell me sure. I wasn't just canceled. Canceled is when
you're in trouble for like a couple of weeks, or
when you have to miss In one episode of your
TV show, I took a picture of a Donald Trump
Halloween mask with touch upon it, portraying his decapitated head,
(01:44):
of course, in a swoop of Perseus and Medusa from
Greek mythology, and we never heard from you. Well, I
did hear back from Perseus and Medusa from the beyond,
who said right on, girl. But I also did hear
from Donald and I heard it from him via the
(02:04):
Department of Justice. So I was put on the no
fly list. I was put on the Inner Pol list,
which is the international version of the no flylist, and
even the Five Eyes List, which is the terror ISIS
watch list, So then I was investigator. Yeah, with the
try touring when you're on the ISIS watch list, they
(02:27):
don't really like you to tour. No airplanes really welcome you,
or or border crossings of any kind. And so that
went on. I lost about seventy five percent of my
friends that never came back. I've been considered toxic in
my own industry. So I was out of work for
six and a half years, and then during that time,
(02:47):
I became a The prescription pills tried to take my life,
went to a three day, fifty one fifty psychiatric hold
like I'm Britney and Kanye combined to something. Yeah, I
got sober. I'm four years and seven. I'm sober.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Congratulations, thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
And a year after I got sober, I got lung
cancer even though I never smoked, So I have half
of the less lung. But I feel like you are
being a jerk and flaunting your two lungs in my
face right now.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Well, let's check out some of this stuff.
Speaker 1 (03:17):

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Thank you. See that's the kind of love I was
expecting from you too.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Kathy Griffin, How does it work? Do you have to
lobby to get often, oh fly list? Or does it
just expire?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Oh? Darling, you are invested. You're investigated by the Department
of Justice. Two agencies within the DOJ, the US Attorney's
Office and the Secret Service Office. And they were a
very secret service department. They were very intent on trying
to find a way to charge me with the crime
(04:05):
of conspiracy to assassinate the President of the United States,
which holds a lifetime sentence.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Did you get audited too?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
They audit you, of.
Speaker 3 (04:15):

Kathy Griffin, So you're your your toxic you at least were,
and we're a pledgling media market radio morning show. Do
you think it's a good idea to have you on?

think I went pretty easy on you, and you're invited
to come live with me here in Malibu, California, and
then we can all go over to mel GiB And
house and then Trump will probably come over and make
it all better.

ready to laugh at your suicide. Tell us about how
how did you do it?

Oh my god, buy a cheap, buy a ticket, you cheap.
I can't tell you how I did it because it's
actually the punchline. And I know it didn't be a punchline,
but in my case it is because you got to
learn to laugh at everything and if something else. This
show is all about laughing. It the dark, the light,
(05:48):
the in between. But I promise it's not like a
SOB story. It's not like oh serious, one woman show.
