Speaker 1: Stuck at home, bored and alone. You'd think I could
Speaker 1: have some fun on my own button all I called
Speaker 1: af with Cecily and Stephanie. What's up, everybody? It is
Speaker 1: bored a f Honestly, I'm gonna be for real, for
Speaker 1: real with you guys, Like for real. This is probably
Speaker 1: my favorite show to do because a lot of the
Speaker 1: it's fun, it's it's chill, it's like so chill, and
Speaker 1: the other shows we do depend on watching, like bad
Speaker 1: TV shows, which, from your perspective as a listener, I'm
Speaker 1: sure that's fun because you know you can just sit
Speaker 1: back and watch the show on your own time and
Speaker 1: listen to us make fun of it. So good for you.
Speaker 1: I'm glad like life works out that way for you.
Speaker 1: But we have to actually watch them and take notes.
Speaker 2: Yes, like here in ways we take notes as we
Speaker 2: walk around the world. We're like, oh that's interesting, that's
Speaker 2: a bord af thing. Yeah, that's a boarding.
Speaker 1: Then I forget and then I, like I used to
Speaker 1: do with stand up.
Speaker 2: I would not write down the notes, or I'd write
Speaker 2: them on an old, crumpled napkin and then throw out
Speaker 2: the joke.
Speaker 1: I was never very organized, never I know not so
Speaker 1: many times I see things like in the world and
Speaker 1: I think, oh my god, like that or you know,
Speaker 1: you know what it is? Actually, Oh my god, this
Speaker 1: is so this is I've been meaning to tell you
Speaker 1: this anyway. Sometimes I'll see a comedian do a joke
Speaker 1: like I on you know, Instagram or something, you'll you know,
Speaker 1: subscribe to comics, and I'll be like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: Like that's that's like I should have I should still
Speaker 1: be doing stand up because oh yeah, because I'm like,
Speaker 1: those are the kind of things that I just that
Speaker 1: you and I like say in conversation to each other,
Speaker 1: m hm, do you know what I mean? And I'm like, God,
Speaker 1: that person is just doing that as like their stand
Speaker 1: up act.
Speaker 3: God.
Speaker 2: But also some of them are still so and You're like,
Speaker 2: why didn't I try harder? That's like all you have
Speaker 2: to do is just do it. Yes, I really have
Speaker 2: to do That's.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. I'm like, it's
Speaker 1: such a waste that I was always like, ah no,
Speaker 1: it has to be the greatest joke and it doesn't
Speaker 1: just has to be like a funny thought you have.
Speaker 2: You just have to get like a facelift. Here's what
Speaker 2: we have to do. We have to get a lot
Speaker 2: of filler, try to look crazy young. I think it's
Speaker 2: I think stand up is wasted on the youth.
Speaker 1: Is that a thing? I think it is? These these
Speaker 1: these kids these days, man, these comedians, these young comics
Speaker 1: these days, they have so much confidence.
Speaker 2: They have too much confidence because there's not as much
Speaker 2: talent to back it up half the time.
Speaker 1: But some of them are funny. Like sometimes I'll see
Speaker 1: somebody and I'll be like, Oh, this person's funny. It's
Speaker 1: their delivery. And then I'm like, you know what, I
Speaker 1: had funny delivery. I'm just going to pat myself on
Speaker 1: the back for a second and go, I got my
Speaker 1: own jokes. I understand how to do the timing. It's
Speaker 1: just that I thought every joke had to be the
Speaker 1: greatest fucking joke that's ever been written, or I wouldn't
Speaker 1: want to do it. That's so funny.
Speaker 2: I never had that problem, I mean even a little bit,
Speaker 2: not even a little bit.
Speaker 1: Well, and you're a good comedian, just.
Speaker 2: A different kind of comedian because I think, my I
Speaker 2: we're not going to talk about this whole thing again.
Speaker 1: As we've done this million times.
Speaker 2: We have talked about this so many times, but I'm
Speaker 2: just gonna say this, you were more of a joke writer,
Speaker 2: or are more of a joke writer. And I came
Speaker 2: up in the storytelling Janine garofflo age, even though you
Speaker 2: did as well and you liked that stuff too, But
Speaker 2: that was when I first started doing stand up. That's
Speaker 2: all that you did. You told a crazy story about
Speaker 2: your agent, you know what I mean. It was like,
Speaker 2: that's that was my stand up. That's what I loved,
Speaker 2: mom stuff, but that it was long stories. There was
Speaker 2: no joke rafting really not really. Like sometimes I would
Speaker 2: get together with some of my friends who I'm still
Speaker 2: very good friends with, like Greg Moore and you know,
Speaker 2: and he's like he's like the kind of comic and
Speaker 2: he's a headlining comic now, but he actually opens for
Speaker 2: Nate or GHATSI.
Speaker 1: You know, yes, yes, Nate Jesus Middle he opens for him.
Speaker 2: He's like in Europe, he went to Europe with him
Speaker 2: on their like they're real good riend. He's got a
Speaker 2: great career. As my point, Greg has a bunch of specials.
Speaker 2: He's done really well. But he would sit for hours
Speaker 2: and write and I'd be like, what are you doing?
Speaker 2: Let's go drink and he's like, no, I don't even
Speaker 2: like to drink that much. I've never been a big drink.
Speaker 2: It would be like, what do you and then he
Speaker 2: would try to get me. He used to do the
Speaker 2: thing where he'd get other comics, and I think Henry
Speaker 2: might have been part of that at one point, where
Speaker 2: he'd want to go to the deli, like he'd want
Speaker 2: to go to Green Blats like old Jewish comics and
Speaker 2: write and I was so bored.
Speaker 1: I was like, are they going to be cute guys?
Speaker 1: And he's like, oh, well no.
Speaker 2: No, none that you haven't already slept with could be
Speaker 2: his reply. I'm like and then I would go and
Speaker 2: get bored and like get like a glass some wine
Speaker 2: at like two in the afternoon. I just didn't understand
Speaker 2: the assignment. And now he's done very well as a comedian,
Speaker 2: and I didn't.
Speaker 1: Okay, the hard work, okay, but I'm going to push
Speaker 1: back because I was like that and I am not
Speaker 1: doing well as a comedian. Obviously I have doing it, yeah,
Speaker 1: because it wasn't going well. So I didn't stop, like
Speaker 1: at the height of my like things are going great.
Speaker 1: I want to quit while I'm ahead? Was it like that?
Speaker 1: It was like, Oh, this is never going to work.
Speaker 1: I'm never going to be a famous comedian. What am
Speaker 1: I doing? And I think I'm going to try to
Speaker 1: get a job working on a shitty TV show? I mean,
Speaker 1: it was timing out. It's timing. It was tedious. Things
Speaker 1: changed in your life. You got married and had kids.
Speaker 2: That's a different look for like Greg, Yes, but continue
Speaker 2: you know it didn't matter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I'm not trying to like, I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to argue like against myself, but I'm just being I'm
Speaker 1: just being honest. Like, No, I took it seriously. First
Speaker 1: of all, I didn't really come up. Well. I came
Speaker 1: up a little bit before you, for sure, And there
Speaker 1: was there. Alternative comedy wasn't a thing when I started.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. I know you always liked it,
Speaker 2: but that wasn't your thing.
Speaker 1: For sure. I liked it.
Speaker 2: I had a stand up way before I did, for sure.
Speaker 2: I mean my first time doing stand up was ninety
Speaker 2: seven or ninety eight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so and I was probably like ninety okay, I'm
Speaker 1: assuming I moved to LA in eighty six. Yeah, probably
Speaker 1: around like nineteen ninety. I started nineteen maybe even earlier.
Speaker 1: I don't know, yeah, maybe like right before. That doesn't
Speaker 1: really matter. The point is I'd been doing stand up
Speaker 1: for a few years open mic nights, writing joke jokes,
Speaker 1: and then later I mean, I've been doing it for
Speaker 1: a while when like Jinny Garofolo came on the scene.
Speaker 1: But she also had jokes when I first used to
Speaker 1: see her, Like, she had a joke like the joke
Speaker 1: about seeing someone at Renfair and they take themselves really
Speaker 1: seriously and she's like and they're like yeah, They're like,
Speaker 1: She's like, can you can you tell me what time
Speaker 1: it is? And then the pray tell which is time?
Speaker 1: And then she's like, listen, you're wearing a swatch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So the joke was. The joke was, where can
Speaker 2: I get a diet coke? Pretty tell is a diet coke?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, you're wearing a swatch? Yeah, that was
Speaker 2: the joke, I think, yeah, or she may have changed
Speaker 2: it a few times back when she would. I saw
Speaker 2: her on like HBO Comedy Special in the eighties and
Speaker 2: I was like, that's the greatest fucking thing I've ever seen.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know that could exist, but no, you're right,
Speaker 2: she did sort of have more of an act. But
Speaker 2: then when the Luna Park, well Largo wasn't yet a thing,
Speaker 2: but Luna Park started. That was all those guys like
Speaker 2: Patten and Bob and David and they would just go
Speaker 2: up and and I've said this before, but my favorite
Speaker 2: was of all of them was Julia Sweeney, who told
Speaker 2: the best stories. You guys know where is Pat from SNL,
Speaker 2: But my god, she is the most brilliant freaking writer
Speaker 2: and she's so delightful and she's who I wanted to be. Yes,
Speaker 2: that's exactly Kathy Griffin, all those people. So yeah, and
Speaker 2: then I don't know when that went away, but it
Speaker 2: definitely went away.
Speaker 1: But I stopped doing well. So I just wasn't doing
Speaker 1: well as a comedian. It's not even that I wasn't
Speaker 1: doing well, but I was always just so hard on
Speaker 1: myself and like always felt like I had to kill
Speaker 1: or right now. And I came up, like I said,
Speaker 1: at a time where people like I can't even tell
Speaker 1: you like the different names of the comedians, but they
Speaker 1: were all kind of old school, and I just remember
Speaker 1: having to go up after a lot of those people
Speaker 1: and just go I just Gallagher two. Gallagher two. I
Speaker 1: had to put a tarp. I had to put on
Speaker 1: a tarp. And then I'd be like, you're not even
Speaker 1: Gallagher one, Like why do I have to get a tarp?
Speaker 1: And then nobody would Shang.
Speaker 2: I'm probably I had to go after Shang on like
Speaker 2: a very important thing.
Speaker 1: It was like Aspen, like Aspen audition.
Speaker 3: I was like, why are you.
Speaker 1: Gonna put after Shang?
Speaker 2: You guys, we haven't talked about this. He was a
Speaker 2: very high energy guy that would just like have sex
Speaker 2: with a microphone.
Speaker 1: Well. He also had a thing, okay, so Craig Shoemaker head,
Speaker 1: I'm the love master baby, and he'd get a black
Speaker 1: voice and it was so offensive and awful even back then.
Speaker 1: But Shang had something where he called himself like the
Speaker 1: dick master or something. Yeah, and then I would make
Speaker 1: fun of him to his face because I was kind
Speaker 1: of friendly with him, and he'd be like stop it,
Speaker 1: and I'd be like, do the dick master thing. That's
Speaker 1: so funny, and he'd just be like stop it. And
Speaker 1: I do think there was a time where he was like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that joke anymore. I don't
Speaker 1: want to be known for that. But it was like
Speaker 1: too then he'd have to lapse into it because you know,
Speaker 1: I feel like he got to get a laugh. That
Speaker 1: is good. What's Shane up to? Now?
Speaker 2: What do you think? Let me look him up, let's
Speaker 2: see what. Let's see. Is he still still going Sha Forbes?
Speaker 2: We had a last name? Yeah, I'm pretty sure did he?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he comes up Shang Forbes. Why didn't he
Speaker 2: use his last name?
Speaker 1: It's just cool, Like, if your name's Shang? What what?
Speaker 1: What do he got used for a name? We have
Speaker 1: a lot.
Speaker 2: We have eleven mutual friends, which I would think we'd
Speaker 2: have more. Is this the same guy or there can't
Speaker 2: be more than one? Yeah, you're one of our mutual friends. Yeah,
Speaker 2: now this is him. He's working busy month. He says
Speaker 2: he's doing Linwood. Shit, got some Fresno shows going. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: that's he's ruining everybody's lives like bit by bit. And
Speaker 2: I don't mean the audience, I mean the other fucking comics.
Speaker 2: Oh well, that's Shang.
Speaker 1: The cover of his cover is Shang is Shngry, and
Speaker 1: it says the comedy special available now at Amazon Prime.
Speaker 1: And it's just a picture of him with like a
Speaker 1: bandana around his head and it's like his hands are
Speaker 1: in fists and he's just got an open mouth, like ah,
Speaker 1: I want to say this about him. We're not really
Speaker 1: making fun of Shane because he goes very well, great jokes.
Speaker 1: He seems nice.
Speaker 2: He also has an anti Trump thing, which I like,
Speaker 2: like he's on the right side of things.
Speaker 1: So you know what I've turned around. I'm not making
Speaker 1: fun of Shang. We're just making fun of comedy of
Speaker 1: comedians that started back then and are still doing that,
Speaker 1: still doing it t mecula. I mean, listen, do what
Speaker 1: makes you happy?
Speaker 2: I live in a like like Squalor, so we're all
Speaker 2: we're so.
Speaker 1: I have a I have an interesting story for you.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, this is this is an old yeather a round.
Speaker 2: This is an old bored a f story. Right, okay,
Speaker 2: ready you're hanging in. You're good, Yes, you're ready. I
Speaker 2: went to the grove.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like never.
Speaker 2: Good when it starts with the grove. All right, Okay,
Speaker 2: let me go back a little bit on TikTok. I
Speaker 2: had seen one of those tiktoks. It's weird that like
Speaker 2: the TikTok is the place that you see the TikTok.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're on TikTok and you're like, what am
Speaker 1: I going to come across here?
Speaker 2: And you're like, yeah, but you're gonna come across talks
Speaker 2: like saying I'm watched TV and one of the TVs,
Speaker 2: one of the TVs I watched.
Speaker 1: You're like, wait what, but that's what it is. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So one of those stupid tux was one of those
Speaker 2: things of like, you know, I'm going to do everything.
Speaker 1: I can to not get botox. I have it scheduled actually.
Speaker 2: But I'm really scared for some dumb reason, I don't
Speaker 2: want to go into that.
Speaker 1: We've been to it, literally, talking about that with you
Speaker 1: for since we year started this show. You've been five
Speaker 1: years you've been talking about should I get botox? Yes?
Speaker 1: Or should? And yes is the answer? So but I
Speaker 1: have not well five years ago it wasn't the answer,
Speaker 1: but now yes, one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: A hundred percent, no question, I mean not even a
Speaker 2: little bit of a question. I would Okay, that's I
Speaker 2: could go on so many threads on this, but so
Speaker 2: I I see this TikTok and it's one of those things.
Speaker 2: It's called you've seen these that ill maciage. You've seen those.
Speaker 1: The makeup.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have makeup and they have all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 2: But one of the things they have is quite magical.
Speaker 2: And it's this little thing, this little tube of liquid
Speaker 2: and you basically painted over your lines on your face
Speaker 2: and like it absorbs in and somehow like literally gets
Speaker 2: rid of the lines on your face in real time. Okay,
Speaker 2: He's like, well, maybe I'll order that. I'm not I
Speaker 2: don't like ordering things online, you know, I like to
Speaker 2: test everything out, don't make decisions very well.
Speaker 1: But I was like, maybe I'll do it.
Speaker 2: But then another because I looked at that TikTok, a
Speaker 2: different TikTok popped up of something called like doctor Peter
Speaker 2: Roth or whatever, you know that line.
Speaker 1: So it's some kind of.
Speaker 2: Line of makeup creams, whatever, And they had a similar
Speaker 2: thing and they showed this TikTok is like the viral trend.
Speaker 2: Watch for yourself. So I watch and this lady paints
Speaker 2: this stuff on her like eleven on her forehead and
Speaker 2: goes away, and I'm like, what, that's not pop, that's crazy.
Speaker 2: So I go to the Grove and I go to Sephora,
Speaker 2: and I was like, do you have you seen the
Speaker 2: TikTok where they make the lines go away and they're like, yes,
Speaker 2: we've got it. Come this way. I follow the lady
Speaker 2: to where this stuff is, this cream. She's like, let's
Speaker 2: try it. Let's do it. Here's how you do it.
Speaker 2: You take a tiny bit and you put it on
Speaker 2: your eleven, on your the wrinkles on your forehead, and
Speaker 2: you just keep making like an upward motion with your
Speaker 2: finger until it dries. Right, and she goes, do it
Speaker 2: like this. Watch she goes, first, watch this TikTok on
Speaker 2: how to do it.
Speaker 1: I did that. We did it together. I did it.
Speaker 2: I look in the mirror and Stephanie, it's the most
Speaker 2: amazing thing I've ever seen. Like everything's got, the line
Speaker 2: is gone.
Speaker 1: It's like a perfect like a like a baby's face, right,
Speaker 1: like a baby's forehead.
Speaker 2: So then I'm like, oh my god, what the fuck?
Speaker 2: This just exists on your shelf. And she's like yep.
Speaker 2: So I was like, okay, how much fifty bucks. She's
Speaker 2: getting it ready, we're bagging it. We're doing the thing.
Speaker 2: We're walking over to the bags. I look into the
Speaker 2: mirror as I get to the near the checkout. There's
Speaker 2: mirrors all over Sephora, and where that once was, where
Speaker 2: it was perfectly smooth, is now like a square of
Speaker 2: white chalk that is literally falling off my face. Like
Speaker 2: imagine just a white square and it's just flaking off
Speaker 2: my face. So I was like, oh, she goes, Oh no,
Speaker 2: that is one of the side effects.
Speaker 1: I was gonna tell I have this stuff. It's very similar.
Speaker 1: It's called like flexiderm or something. It's the same idea
Speaker 1: that I got and I bought it because somebody turned
Speaker 1: me onto it and I yes, and it like like
Speaker 1: I can't explain it. You explained it better than I can,
Speaker 1: but it like looks like it's peeling off sort of
Speaker 1: in a weird way. It's sort of unwearable to us.
Speaker 1: And the lady, the lady, bless.
Speaker 2: Her heart, she's just doing her job to sell things,
Speaker 2: but she was really trying to make she was going
Speaker 2: so fast so that I wouldn't see it because when
Speaker 2: she's like, oh, like, it was more like, oh no,
Speaker 2: it didn't work on your skin type. It was like,
Speaker 2: oh damn it that mirror. Because I really was just
Speaker 2: I was going to get the I cream.
Speaker 1: I was down. I couldn't believe this miracle thing, right,
Speaker 1: And so I just I looked at her like, are
Speaker 1: you shitting? Yeah?
Speaker 2: But I mean I was like, come on, and I
Speaker 2: go and then she's like yeah, And I was going
Speaker 2: to meet a friend and I go, do you have
Speaker 2: like a cotton ball that I can white? I mean,
Speaker 2: this is like I can't even go where I'm going
Speaker 2: with this. Okay, yeah, let's get this off your face.
Speaker 2: So she gets it off.
Speaker 1: And then she was gonna sell it to you, yes,
Speaker 1: knowing looking at me only because I saw here. Did
Speaker 1: she she lose that sale? And so finally there was
Speaker 1: a guy she was doing it, and this guy kind
Speaker 1: of linger. He also worked there, and he was kind
Speaker 1: of watching this whole thing unfold.
Speaker 2: And I don't know, you know, I'm just going to
Speaker 2: tell you what he I'm going to do an impression,
Speaker 2: but I'm not like making fun of him.
Speaker 1: But he was there and I just looked at him like,
Speaker 1: I gave him a look like what the fuck?
Speaker 2: And he's like, I go, so I just have to
Speaker 2: get botox, right, And he's like, yes, honey.
Speaker 1: He even knew.
Speaker 2: He probably felt bad that we're going through this rigamogamarole yes, yes,
Speaker 2: Queen's honey, honey girl, honey boo boo. Yeah, you can't
Speaker 2: get around the And I've had this conversation with my
Speaker 2: last thing I'm gonna say and then I'll be quiet.
Speaker 1: But I texted one of my well, this is your show,
Speaker 1: this is your show, girl, our show.
Speaker 2: But I had texted one of my mom's friends because
Speaker 2: they all look fabulous in Dallas in their eighties, and
Speaker 2: I was like, how do you what cream do you use?
Speaker 2: And she's like, slipiller, filler, yes, facelip, And she's like,
Speaker 2: you keep asking me this every couple of years. You
Speaker 2: ask me this and I tell you the same thing.
Speaker 2: Here's the doctor's name, here's the like, here's where, here's
Speaker 2: the MEDSPA. Like, you can't there's no cream that's going
Speaker 2: to do it? No, I mean, why can't I.
Speaker 1: Get that through my stupid, stupid, ugly wrinkled head. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm going to say something here, and you're not going
Speaker 1: to like it because you're just because you're just gonna
Speaker 1: like you're going to go that's not true. But it's
Speaker 1: because the reason why you're having all this trouble is
Speaker 1: because you're not at the place where your wrinkles are
Speaker 1: show enough for you to like every time you see them,
Speaker 1: be like, oh my god, I'm so wrinkled. So there's
Speaker 1: just like your your vegan name between Yeah, you're Yes,
Speaker 1: you're still little, even though you're you're of the age
Speaker 1: where a lot of people have been begetting botox for
Speaker 1: twenty years. Your skin looks good. So I think that's
Speaker 1: why you're a little bit in denial of like, okay,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't like some days I still have good days.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's the eleven. The other stuff is fine.
Speaker 2: But I have such a prominent eleven that I can
Speaker 2: see it in every picture.
Speaker 1: And you can get your elevens done pretty cheaply if
Speaker 1: that's all you want to do. All I want to do.
Speaker 1: I just can't believe somebody tried to have me. They
Speaker 1: tried to take All I want to do is zoom
Speaker 1: a zoom zoom zoom in a boom boom.
Speaker 2: You've said that before to me, and I do feel
Speaker 2: like sometimes I don't take you seriously when you say that,
Speaker 2: but you have set you like that is a.
Speaker 1: Through line for you.
Speaker 3: That is something why if you you've worked in retail right, yes, No,
Speaker 3: I literally just lie.
Speaker 1: Why did I just go, yes, yes I have, I
Speaker 1: have not because I think I resumed very quickly. My
Speaker 1: brain did this thing where I was like, I've had
Speaker 1: every job, Yes I have. I'm sure I have. And
Speaker 1: then I was like that I took a second to go, actually, no,
Speaker 1: I've never worked in retail.
Speaker 2: You never worked for like a clothing place. Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: and you're so lucky. I was so bad at it.
Speaker 2: I was also fifteen. I had to be dropped off
Speaker 2: of that job. I didn't have a license.
Speaker 1: Wasn't this didn't you have to bring a clear Yes?
Speaker 1: It was at the limited.
Speaker 2: They did not trust us, and also we had to
Speaker 2: wear their clothes.
Speaker 1: So I just bought one outfit.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm not spending all my money that I
Speaker 2: made like five dollars an hour, I'm not spending it
Speaker 2: on your weird shirts.
Speaker 1: So I just wore the same I bought. Like.
Speaker 2: They were like, can you get like a cute dress
Speaker 2: or something to wear to work? I was like no,
Speaker 2: I was being very Diane Key. I like bought these
Speaker 2: weird khaki pants and a button down. It was not cute,
Speaker 2: it was very Dilbert. And that's what I insisted. And
Speaker 2: then I didn't really wash it very much. That like
Speaker 2: smelled really bad, right, right? Did you get like one
Speaker 2: more outfit to wear?
Speaker 1: Nope?
Speaker 2: But I also hated lying to people like this is
Speaker 2: these jeans look good? I'm like, no, I really so
Speaker 2: you would tell them the truth? No, I would not.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm a pleaser. I just hated lying. I
Speaker 2: would lie, but I didn't like it. I was like, oh, no,
Speaker 2: like you may everyone look so good?
Speaker 1: What see? I would probably just be like, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I probably I probably would lie as well.
Speaker 1: But I also but I feel like maybe I would
Speaker 1: avoid lying, and then just if I got in trouble
Speaker 1: for not lying, I would just be like, no, I
Speaker 1: was trying to upsell to something more expensive. Mm hmmm,
Speaker 1: you know I'd come up with a thing. Well that's
Speaker 1: kind of our show. I think what I was just
Speaker 1: that actually just reminded me of something that I was
Speaker 1: going to tell you. No, we are not at a time.
Speaker 1: I'm not even a little bit out of time. I'm kidding.
Speaker 1: I'm joking. I'm looking at it. I see it. I know,
Speaker 1: I see you, I see you time, I see what
Speaker 1: you're doing. I was gonna say, but it was so
Speaker 1: wait retail, lying to people, thinking you might lie to
Speaker 1: people not working at the limited.
Speaker 2: I was skulking too, imagine this. I was not comfortable
Speaker 2: in my skin, like really not comfortable. I had a
Speaker 2: jew fro, I had like bad skin. I mean, I
Speaker 2: really did not want to talk to people. I was
Speaker 2: not I did not feel like I was. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: they hired you. Who knows why. I'm good at the interview.
Speaker 2: I guess I can put on a little show, but
Speaker 2: I didn't want to know. I hate that shit.
Speaker 1: When did you decide that you wanted to? Oh, I
Speaker 1: think you've told I mean, you've told me this before,
Speaker 1: but like you, did you ever think about doing stand
Speaker 1: up when you were younger? Not really?
Speaker 2: Weirdly, not really because I loved stand up. I loved
Speaker 2: like the whole medium. I thought it was amazing and
Speaker 2: I was But no, I thought I was going to
Speaker 2: be this very famous actress, right. I thought I was
Speaker 2: going to be a Broadway star. And then I realized
Speaker 2: that I really could not sing more dance, and then sing,
Speaker 2: I can't really. I mean maybe at one there was
Speaker 2: maybe five years that I could sing, but I when
Speaker 2: I listen back, it's it's pretty bad. It's pretty cringe.
Speaker 2: I mean, I want that would be my dream. If
Speaker 2: I had any dream of being anything, it would be
Speaker 2: to be able to like sing same amazingly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, really like you. I fantasize about it. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: always wanted to be able to sing, but I can't
Speaker 1: sing at all. Who would the voice be? Who would
Speaker 1: the voice be that you would choose if you could
Speaker 1: have anyone's voice? Let's try. I was going to joke. No,
Speaker 1: I was going to make a joke for the only
Speaker 1: jokes I could think of were actually good singers, to
Speaker 1: which you'd be like, oh, like I was like barbar
Speaker 1: streisand but then of course she actually was like an
Speaker 1: amazing scene. I just like want to rule man's raspy
Speaker 1: like that. I just feel like.
Speaker 2: And I want we'd want to sing in cursive, just
Speaker 2: automatically without having to try, right right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like.
Speaker 4: Darn y're all out things round?
Speaker 1: Could you tell me, like your very first time going
Speaker 1: on stage what your experience was.
Speaker 2: I don't think we have talked about that, and if
Speaker 2: we have, we don't remember, so fuck it. It was awesome. Well,
Speaker 2: I'd gone on stage before because I had done a
Speaker 2: lot of like monologuing. Remember, because I went to the
Speaker 2: performing arts high school, so I in a way you
Speaker 2: could call the monologue about suicide stand up.
Speaker 1: I call it that. Never forget that a camp. But
Speaker 1: like your first time, like at a club, Like at
Speaker 1: a club, nobody knew it was going to be for
Speaker 1: sure supportive.
Speaker 2: The first time I did stand up was i'd seen
Speaker 2: an ad in like the La Weekly at for like
Speaker 2: an open mic at Nora Cafe in Santa Monica, nor
Speaker 2: and I.
Speaker 1: No, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: Yeah I think it was called Nora Cafe, but I
Speaker 2: could be wrong about that, but I'm almost positive. And
Speaker 2: I had my I was nineteen ninety seven maybe, and
Speaker 2: I was pretty fresh to LA and I had my
Speaker 2: shitty car. And I didn't tell a single person, didn't
Speaker 2: know a single person doing stand up.
Speaker 1: Was like, brave is pretty brave. I was just like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go brave. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I didn't, didn't go with a friend, didn't just just
Speaker 2: went down there, found parking. It was a coffee shop,
Speaker 2: so I was a little bummed. I couldn't get like
Speaker 2: a beer or something. I was like, okay, all right,
Speaker 2: I'm caffeinated. Put my I put my number. They drew
Speaker 2: my number.
Speaker 1: But had you went out in an act? Yes, I'd worked, Yes,
Speaker 1: I had a stand up act ready to go.
Speaker 2: I'd written jokes by yourself. Yes, you run jokes by
Speaker 2: yourself one hundred percent. Didn't know comics.
Speaker 1: What was your process? Like? Did you sit and so?
Speaker 1: I mean you never took a class or read a
Speaker 1: book about it. You just sat down and were like, okay. Concept.
Speaker 2: From my memory, I had been going to see a
Speaker 2: lot of stand up. I'd been going to Luna Park
Speaker 2: and I was really inspired. So I just kept writing
Speaker 2: down story ideas, so I had I still have all
Speaker 2: those notebooks actually because I can't throw anything away, So
Speaker 2: I have the bullet I find them. I have like
Speaker 2: the bullet points, and sometimes I would just write it
Speaker 2: all out like all squigly.
Speaker 1: So I go down and do it. It's like seven
Speaker 1: minutes or something.
Speaker 2: It goes great, like it got a huge response, especially
Speaker 2: for an open mic of other comics basically and in
Speaker 2: the audience. Also performing that night was tig It was
Speaker 2: my first time doing stand up and she was like you,
Speaker 2: so she befriended me, and she did not believe that
Speaker 2: I'd never done it, and I was like, I swear
Speaker 2: to God. And then we were friends. And then she
Speaker 2: told me, She's like, okay, you got to go here,
Speaker 2: you got to call this person. She like hooked up
Speaker 2: the rest and that was it. Then I like started
Speaker 2: going to the improv and I think, oh, somebody told
Speaker 2: me about some show at the Comedy Store, and you
Speaker 2: just all you had to do is show up once
Speaker 2: in your twenties back then and you just remember, well.
Speaker 1: There was an open mic night. I want to say
Speaker 1: Monday nights where you could where you could sign up
Speaker 1: at the Comedy Store. Oh I didn't, or Tuesday nights,
Speaker 1: that's we're open mic night. You did Peterson's though, right,
Speaker 1: I never did Peterson's. The Coffee I didn't either, since coffee, No,
Speaker 1: I think that was a little either past my time
Speaker 1: or you know what I mean. Like I just wasn't
Speaker 1: in that group that was like Jane, Edith Wilson, Andy Kendler.
Speaker 2: I think I think maybe yeah, Gary Lucy, Yeah, I
Speaker 2: think that's where they probably met right doing all that,
Speaker 2: But I didn't even know she did stand up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for years, totally forgotten that.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well now we're just having a car sometimes on
Speaker 2: board AF we do forget that we're doing a show.
Speaker 2: I'm like, what about was like, hold on a second,
Speaker 2: I've got to go talk to my neighbors on hold up,
Speaker 2: hold up?
Speaker 1: So your first time? What happened your first time? My
Speaker 1: first time was I had wanted to do it for
Speaker 1: so long. Okay, I was temping, So I was going
Speaker 1: to these horrible jobs through Apple One Temp Services, Apple Temps,
Speaker 1: and I'd be like at a reception job. But I
Speaker 1: had a roommate. His name was Bruce Chorney. It still
Speaker 1: is Bruce Jorney. I still am friends with him on Facebook.
Speaker 1: Super nice guy. He had moved out out here from
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and he was good friends with another comedian named
Speaker 1: Billy Elmer at the time, and he so I told him,
Speaker 1: I really want to do stand up. I did everything
Speaker 1: but do stand up. I was friends with comedians, I
Speaker 1: cocktail waitressed at comedy clubs. I just was so wanting
Speaker 1: to be a comedian, but I was too scared shitless
Speaker 1: to try it. So my roommate I gave him. I
Speaker 1: sat in my living room and I told him all
Speaker 1: of my concepts for jokes. I was like, you know,
Speaker 1: when I go to the gym, which was called Bally's
Speaker 1: health spot. At the time, I was like, when I
Speaker 1: go to Bally's. They used to have at Bally's a
Speaker 1: women's section, a men's section, and then a co ed section.
Speaker 1: And my concept was I'm like, it's just so stupid,
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to work out in the co
Speaker 1: ed section because then like they're going to be like, well,
Speaker 1: why is she here? You know, it's going to seem
Speaker 1: like I'm like hitting on guys. And so he wrote
Speaker 1: the punchline, so I just work out on the men's
Speaker 1: side so people know why I'm here. And then and
Speaker 1: he did that with all of my concepts. He was
Speaker 1: an amazing writer. So I would give am i'ld go
Speaker 1: oh my god, okay, that's funny that I'd be how
Speaker 1: about this, you know, and then it would just be
Speaker 1: something else. Oh I had a thing about how oh
Speaker 1: my god, this is like this is so stupid. But
Speaker 1: part of the joke about the health club was like,
Speaker 1: then I'll drive around the parking lot for so long
Speaker 1: trying to find the very closest spot before I go
Speaker 1: work out for an hour. And then he was like, yeah, so,
Speaker 1: but you know what, I came up with a but
Speaker 1: it's so stupid. Now I just park as far away
Speaker 1: as I want to and I just take the shuttle.
Speaker 1: That was the joke. But so I had two minutes
Speaker 1: two minutes, and then I went and practiced it all
Speaker 1: the time at all my jobs. I would like go
Speaker 1: in the bathroom and like I would say it to myself.
Speaker 1: I would sit in an office. I would just say
Speaker 1: it over and over and over. And then I went
Speaker 1: to this club in Westwood called Yesterday's where you could
Speaker 1: sign up. It was an open mic. You put your
Speaker 1: name on a list. The first time I went. The
Speaker 1: first two times I did not get called, so it
Speaker 1: was like a random like they put all the names
Speaker 1: in a hat and then they would just call them out.
Speaker 1: And then I think that the guy had said because
Speaker 1: I didn't get chosen, so he was like, next week,
Speaker 1: I'll put you up for sure. And so I had
Speaker 1: like six rum and cokes in me. I could not
Speaker 1: get drunk. I was so nervous. I just kept drinking,
Speaker 1: but I was still very sober. And then I went
Speaker 1: on stage and I just did my I remember thinking
Speaker 1: that it was like doing it in a blackout because
Speaker 1: I wasn't drunk up, but I just felt like I
Speaker 1: felt like I was in high altitude. I was so nervous.
Speaker 1: I couldn't look at anybody, but I got laughs I'm
Speaker 1: not sure, and it was like a drug. And I went,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I know that was the best thing
Speaker 1: that's ever happened to me. And then I was off
Speaker 1: to the races. I did it like every night.
Speaker 2: My first joke that I when I did that open mic,
Speaker 2: So the first I don't know if it was the
Speaker 2: first shook I wrote, but the first one that I
Speaker 2: did on stage was and it's so specific. It's not
Speaker 2: like a joke that anybody could use. I mean, it
Speaker 2: was like I was like, is it bad? I just go,
Speaker 2: is it bad if you see your agent as an
Speaker 2: extra on Days of Our Lives?
Speaker 1: And it was just a true story.
Speaker 2: And then I told the story about how I saw
Speaker 2: my commercial agent in the background of a scene on
Speaker 2: Days of Our Lives and I asked him about it
Speaker 2: and he's like, oh, guy's got to work, right, So
Speaker 2: I guess there is kind of a joke there, meaning
Speaker 2: that I'm not bringing in any money as a as
Speaker 2: as his talent.
Speaker 1: I feel like he's like a joke would kind of
Speaker 1: be like, well, he's obviously able to get some people work.
Speaker 1: But I didn't even think of that.
Speaker 2: I just told the story. I didn't like ever really
Speaker 2: think about like the you know what I mean. I
Speaker 2: just told the story and then that got to laugh
Speaker 2: because I just saw him at the back. And then
Speaker 2: back then I found I told you, I found all
Speaker 2: my VHS tapes and I got a contraption that I
Speaker 2: could transfer my old stand up tapes even like first time.
Speaker 2: That one I don't have first time, but like the
Speaker 2: first year. So every little shitty said I used to film,
Speaker 2: so I now have that on my computer. And I
Speaker 2: used to have the strongest like back then, my Texas
Speaker 2: accent was so strong.
Speaker 1: So that's so weird too to see myself at age twenty.
Speaker 2: Seven with the Texas accent doing these jokes, like it's like,
Speaker 2: who is this person?
Speaker 1: I'm not recognizable? So fun, I mean, those that was
Speaker 1: such an intense time. I feel like no I would
Speaker 1: go I would do stand up. I had guts back then,
Speaker 1: and I would just go up wherever. We would drive
Speaker 1: an hour to go to some fair where you'd go
Speaker 1: on after all the regular entertainment and you'd have to
Speaker 1: just be like it would be and no one would
Speaker 1: be around. But like the other comedians I did. I
Speaker 1: remember driving a Fullerton and doing some gig where we
Speaker 1: literally stood on top of a giant speaker and just
Speaker 1: shouted our act at people just wherever you just go
Speaker 1: drive to, like a sports bar, and Pug Penson used
Speaker 1: to come around come with me. I was a full
Speaker 1: on open micer when Pug was like, be decided he
Speaker 1: was my best friend. That's sweet. Though, Then you'd start
Speaker 1: getting these gigs where you'd make you'd have to drive
Speaker 1: like a full on, like hour and a half. I
Speaker 1: did twenty five dollars and he goes with you. Yep,
Speaker 1: that's nice. Well, sure he had a massive crush on me.
Speaker 1: He just did not ever tell me because he was scaled.
Speaker 1: He was a skewed a baby, you do what's skeoed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he still is, just scare the little baby still loves you.
Speaker 2: But I think that's kind of sweet actually, because I
Speaker 2: guess maybe it's all relative, because there's so many guys
Speaker 2: that don't support you at all. Like at least this guy,
Speaker 2: at least he thought you were funny. At least he
Speaker 2: liked the right things about you, and not just some idiot.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I never thought I was funny. I
Speaker 1: don't recall him telling me I'm funny.
Speaker 2: I told you this, I told you this. I asked
Speaker 2: him when when we had our thing, when we were dating,
Speaker 2: I said, can you give me two compliments? Because you
Speaker 2: would never give me compliments. So I literally emailed that
Speaker 2: to him. I was like, I'm having a bad day.
Speaker 2: I need two compliments. And he wrote back, you're something
Speaker 2: like you're cute. No, he just wrote, you're smart, and
Speaker 2: you're white hot like meaning like red hot, but.
Speaker 1: No, meaning you're white. You really liked that about.
Speaker 2: Your Caucasian here's what it is, Caucasian, and you're not fat. Congrats.
Speaker 2: He did not say that. We are not saying that.
Speaker 2: Stephanie said it. That's not my fault and I cancel me.
Speaker 1: But no, but I was.
Speaker 2: I felt really sad because he didn't say I was funny.
Speaker 2: Isn't that funny in and of itself? Like I was like,
Speaker 2: really hurt.
Speaker 1: Well it's because he's shitty, because he's an asshole.
Speaker 2: Well, he wasn't being an a I mean, I asked
Speaker 2: for two compliments. I can't choose what the compliments are
Speaker 2: to be fair, but that's what I but.
Speaker 1: It does mean that he was sleeping with a comedian
Speaker 1: who he probably didn't think was that funny, or who
Speaker 1: he never saw he was withholding and wouldn't tell you
Speaker 1: you were funny. Yes, I mean I was dating these
Speaker 1: you know, and we've definitely talked about this before and
Speaker 1: read journal entries about it. But I would date these
Speaker 1: comedians and they were not interested. They were just interested
Speaker 1: in me telling them they were funny, but they were
Speaker 1: not interested in watch coming and watching me do a set.
Speaker 1: They would make me go watch their sets with them, yep,
Speaker 1: And I would, and I would feel very honored and
Speaker 1: I would go with like and be like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: you were so funny and I love this about your
Speaker 1: set and I love this and this joke. And then
Speaker 1: they would never offer to come with me, and if
Speaker 1: they did, they would just be totally quiet afterwards.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, yes, yes, Or I had the ones
Speaker 2: that were sometimes they were like that but also jealous.
Speaker 2: It was fun where it was like he never we
Speaker 2: never talked about my stuff whatever. And then I got
Speaker 2: Montreal and he'd been doing it ten more years than
Speaker 2: I had, and I got just for just for laughs,
Speaker 2: and he was furious, like fuming. Couldn't even hide it.
Speaker 2: I just couldn't hide it. And yeah, people say the
Speaker 2: comics say the darnedest things.
Speaker 1: Comedy man, Dude, you know comedians are not the best
Speaker 1: people to date, and that's going to be a crazy
Speaker 1: You could take that you, you can take that advice
Speaker 1: with you.
Speaker 2: I would say I think number one people to date
Speaker 2: is musicians because here's why. They don't have any diseases.
Speaker 2: They're super consistent, they have no addiction issues. Would you
Speaker 2: agree with that?
Speaker 1: Like musicians, I would say that that's that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Also probably puppeteers. I would totally date a puppeteer.
Speaker 2: Now, I think, do you want to hear something really
Speaker 2: terrible that I just realized about myself. I will not
Speaker 2: go out with someone on like an online dating app
Speaker 2: if they use the word in any way to describe themselves,
Speaker 2: like trying to trying.
Speaker 1: To reach their goals.
Speaker 2: If they use the word goals g O A LS
Speaker 2: in the dating app, I'm out?
Speaker 1: Is that weird? Like, well, why what do you?
Speaker 2: I'll give you an example? Yeah, please do back example.
Speaker 2: Hold on, let me see if I can call it up.
Speaker 2: I don't know, just like what a weird place like, Hey,
Speaker 2: it'll like on Hinge it'll have like an about me section,
Speaker 2: you know, like they'll describe themselves and they'll be like,
Speaker 2: I'm just looking for someone who's just like always looking.
Speaker 1: To reach their goals. Would you date that guy? Oh,
Speaker 1: you would not date that guy? I guess. I just like,
Speaker 1: what do they mean, Like you're trying to like you're
Speaker 1: running marathons and trying to beat.
Speaker 2: Your personal time. Like what kind of goal? Any goals?
Speaker 2: Is weird to say in your dating app? That's like
Speaker 2: such a business speak. Yeah, I guess so unless they're
Speaker 2: used to date, unless they're scared because they've dated women
Speaker 2: or men depending on their inclination, who had like no goal,
Speaker 2: Like who were just like, Yeah, I just like to
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: I don't have any goals. I don't want you know,
Speaker 1: I don't want anyone looking at my goals. I don't
Speaker 1: like the word goals. I think it's weird. I just don't.
Speaker 1: I don't why because you do have goals and because
Speaker 1: you work so hard. Well, my friend, my friend and
Speaker 1: I hate my friend had a very funny thing about
Speaker 1: I think I've told you this, but on Hinge, one
Speaker 1: of the other things you can do is record yourself.
Speaker 2: There's like a little thing where you can be like, hello,
Speaker 2: my name is blank, so you can hear the person's voice.
Speaker 1: Which is pretty cool. God, I'd record it like four
Speaker 1: thousand times that I didn't do, and then I'd erase
Speaker 1: it and then go, god, I don't sound like that?
Speaker 1: Do I sound like that? But I think five people
Speaker 1: listen to it and go, do I really sound like that?
Speaker 2: You kind of wouldn't because you lose the will to
Speaker 2: live really fast when you're on these apps.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't.
Speaker 2: I just didn't even do. I don't use that feature.
Speaker 2: But sometimes I'll listen to guys, you know, they're them like,
Speaker 2: oh what does he sound like? And if they're too earnest,
Speaker 2: like a guy will be like this and he'll have
Speaker 2: like a really close and he'll be like, some of
Speaker 2: my green flags are and then I'm just no, immediately, yeah,
Speaker 2: green flags.
Speaker 1: And it's just very like intentional bachelor speak. We are
Speaker 1: but you know, do you but do you get like,
Speaker 1: are there some people Well okay, I just have to
Speaker 1: tell you one other thing and this is just this
Speaker 1: is just a personal life thing. Okay, Okay, so like hmm,
Speaker 1: making sure that I'm not going to like myself in trouble.
Speaker 1: I just think that a lot of people in general
Speaker 1: do not have a good sense of humor. They just don't.
Speaker 1: And it's not that I think like, oh, I'm the
Speaker 1: funniest person on the planet, but there are certain things
Speaker 1: that you have to think to yourself, like you have
Speaker 1: to know I was kidding, Like I can't always go
Speaker 1: like I'm just kidding, but of course, yes, okay. For instance,
Speaker 1: this is just a little For instance, a friend of
Speaker 1: mine at a birthday, I gave them a little flower,
Speaker 1: and also I gave them a card, and in the
Speaker 1: card I gave them a dollar. I put a dollar
Speaker 1: in it, which is I don't to me, that's just
Speaker 1: like funny. It's not like uproariously hilarious, but it's it's
Speaker 1: not coded in any way. It's just like it's just
Speaker 1: kind of funny. So I got a text from her
Speaker 1: and she was like, oh, thank you so much for
Speaker 1: celebrating my birthday with me. What was the dollar? What
Speaker 1: did the dollar mean? Oh my god. But it's not
Speaker 1: it's not her fault, like she's super nice. And I
Speaker 1: really had to realize most people don't have a good
Speaker 1: sense it. Most people don't automatically assume like you're being funny.
Speaker 1: So then I wrote back, I wrote, she texted that
Speaker 1: to me. She goes, hey, girl, thanks for celebrating my birthday.
Speaker 1: What does the dollar mean? And I said, it's just
Speaker 1: funny and then I said, but it's but not five
Speaker 1: dollars because you're not worth a whole five And then
Speaker 1: I had to do a cry a laughing emoji face no,
Speaker 1: and then she wrote I laughed at me, saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're not worth five dollars. But she did not like, Woul,
Speaker 1: Didn't you think it's kind of funny if you got
Speaker 1: a dollar in a birthday car? Of course? But you're
Speaker 1: a comedian, why don what? And I just noticed because
Speaker 1: I went to this little function today this morning, that
Speaker 1: you know what it was. And I was just like
Speaker 1: making little jokes here and there, and people were just
Speaker 1: kind of kept looking to my face to see if
Speaker 1: I would And I know that I'm very deadpan, I
Speaker 1: know that, but I was being like genuinely like doing
Speaker 1: it with comedic timing and being funny and people it's
Speaker 1: never was joking. That's exhausting. So I hated for most
Speaker 1: guys like that on the dating apps, so are is
Speaker 1: it really exciting? They're actually funny.
Speaker 2: There was one that just happened, and I feel bad
Speaker 2: telling you this, but I'll just tell you because like
Speaker 2: I don't know his name or anything.
Speaker 1: I don't remember. Okay.
Speaker 2: He had done the audio like one of the on
Speaker 2: the audio thing, you can do a prompt. So one
Speaker 2: of the prompts was guess this song and his So
Speaker 2: I played his audio thing and it was just the
Speaker 2: sound of like a cars going by, and I thought
Speaker 2: that was kind of funny.
Speaker 1: It was like, oh, that's so absurd. I like it.
Speaker 2: So I wrote to him. I wrote, oh, is it
Speaker 2: Stairway to Heaven? So Joe right.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, you already have some banter and
Speaker 1: this just happened.
Speaker 2: He wrote back like, no, no, I just recorded the
Speaker 2: sound in my street.
Speaker 1: And he's not joking though, like if it's a level
Speaker 1: of absurdity, yes, but he wasn't.
Speaker 2: He's like, I like to do that sometimes just to hear, like,
Speaker 2: but it's interesting that you heard Stairway to heave it.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, oh no, and not his fault,
Speaker 2: like super cute and whatever, and was just doing a
Speaker 2: different thing.
Speaker 1: We all think we all project whatever.
Speaker 2: Our stuff is good and bad on people like we're like,
Speaker 2: well we're funny, so they're funny.
Speaker 1: We assume that he's coming from a funny place, but
Speaker 1: like he just wasn't. He was going, I don't know
Speaker 1: how man, you right, but I don't know how you
Speaker 1: I don't know how saying was that, Oh that's so cool?
Speaker 1: Is that stairway to heaven? I don't know how you
Speaker 1: could possibly not know that that's a joke. There's no
Speaker 1: way to not know that, you're he's such a genius
