Hi, everybody. It's your old pal, Sarah, Silverman.

1:21

And today's episode

1:23

actually is live.

1:25

This is me just introducing it from the

1:27

studio, but we did a

1:30

live podcast with live questions.

1:33

recently at the old Largo,

1:36

Largo. And

1:39

Rory came out my

1:42

love, my boyfriend, also

1:44

has real credits like he, you know,

1:46

was he ran the daily show with John

1:48

Stewart for many years, and he's at Jimmy, come

1:50

alive now. And

1:53

he comes out and

1:55

takes he held the mic and and took

1:57

questions in the audience for me.

1:59

Enjoy. Hi.

2:01

Thank you guys for coming. I let

2:04

me tell you exactly what will happen. I

2:07

always like to know exactly what will happen, Earl.

2:09

So I'm just like, were there thirty

2:11

minutes left? Are there a hundred minutes left?

2:13

I can't or I can't wait. So I don't

2:15

wanna waste any I don't wanna keep you here. My

2:17

my biggest fear is, like, holding you hostage

2:20

because this is I've never

2:22

did my podcast live. This is a real,

2:24

like, experiment. And

2:27

it's not always it's not

2:29

that funny. I mean, it's, you know, but it's not

2:31

not so serious. Don't let

2:34

me get too serious. But

2:37

Alright.

2:37

Let's record a Kast, see

2:39

what happens.

2:42

Hello.

2:42

It's

2:45

my old palserasalone.

2:49

What is this gonna be like?

2:52

This is an experiment, and you guys

2:54

are gonna help me with that. I

2:56

usually say a few things. I need to blow

2:58

my nose. I only have

3:00

a napkin. So Really?

3:02

A fancy.

3:04

Oh, thank you. My lover, Rory.

3:06

Rory.

3:09

It's Rory.

3:10

He's gonna be

3:12

taking the questions. No. That'll be

3:14

fun.

3:17

We're at home.

3:22

Absolutely nothing is happening right now.

3:24

I am

3:26

Who knows this been how am I doing?

3:29

Thank you.

3:33

I got several applause breaks.

3:35

I wiped my nose. That

3:37

was one.

3:38

But now let's go to the fun part where you guys

3:41

are the trajectory that we take in

3:43

the podcast. Let's bring at Rory

3:45

Albinis.

3:51

Hey.

3:54

Hi, Rory. Hi, Sarah. It's me,

3:56

your lover. I know. Nice to see you.

3:59

So what what's the plan here? Okay.

4:02

Here's the plan.

4:03

You've got a wireless, Michael. Good on those

4:05

steps. And did you so

4:08

the

4:08

I guess if you have a question, you know,

4:11

once he goes down there, you'll raise your hand.

4:13

We'll bring up the lights a little. And

4:15

we'll play it fast and loose. There's no way to

4:17

vet these. But warning,

4:20

if it's like, what's

4:23

your favorite thing you've been in?

4:25

Well, I think it that's not interesting. Or if

4:27

it's something I've answered a million times, I might

4:29

go like next, but it's no

4:31

offense to you. And

4:33

I can just say that and that

4:35

means you

4:36

can't be offended.

4:42

what level of question are you looking for? Give a

4:44

little misdirection.

4:45

Anything anything. But, you know, I mean,

4:48

like, if you're asking a question and it like

4:50

you're being funny and there's, like,

4:52

really nothing I can do with it. I'll we'll laugh

4:54

and I'll move on. But I really

4:56

just want, like, real

4:57

questions

4:59

about your lives, you

5:01

know, or your thoughts, like,

5:04

not like I'm the best at advice, but

5:06

you know, I I just give it anyway.

5:08

Yeah. And By the

5:11

way, you're not weren't asked to

5:12

wear a mask tonight because of COVID. It's just

5:14

for anonymity. So

5:17

don't be embarrassed. Just ask anything.

5:20

Just anything comments,

5:22

questions, stuff about,

5:23

you know,

5:25

whatever. I don't know. But, you know, I mean, I

5:27

might if I've answered if I've had a

5:29

million questions that way, I might go, oh, let's

5:31

go. and

5:32

then you won't feel bad about it

5:34

because I said don't be offended.

5:36

on Alright.

5:37

Let's play the I we have a voicemail

5:40

song, but I amended it for tonight.

5:44

yeah

5:53

yeah

5:59

I

6:01

did it. Alright.

6:02

What you got? You know, I

6:04

talked to Roy right before this, and he goes, what if no

6:06

one asked questions? And then I

6:08

fully panicked. and now it say, oh,

6:10

good. Alright. This is Well, we've got some

6:12

voicemails

6:14

that I had I I asked

6:16

Roger Narvin my

6:18

producers

6:18

to pull some just in case. Alright. Start

6:21

with your name.

6:23

Jesus.

6:24

My name is Terrell?

6:27

With the t, like, Sarah, but with the t,

6:29

like Thomas. Terrell? Yes.

6:32

I know. Right? But yeah. That's

6:35

terrible. Yeah.

6:37

So, actually, my question was about

6:39

the Silverman program. Okay.

6:41

My my question was just that, obviously,

6:43

the show ended, like, well before

6:45

it should have. And I was wondering

6:48

if you and the writers had

6:50

other, like, storylines, subject

6:52

matters, character arcs that you're planning to get

6:54

to in later seasons. I

6:56

have a couple specific questions if that

6:59

Yeah. Get to continue because that's, like,

7:01

like, sure there's a good answer, but I don't Like,

7:03

for example, do you believe that

7:05

Laura ever finally cuts

7:09

Sarah and makes her pay for her own rent

7:11

and get a job.

7:15

Well, she did do that in one episode.

7:17

Remember? And then my mustache grew in

7:19

because I didn't have money to wax

7:21

it and

7:26

No. I think she's always gonna be an

7:28

enabler.

7:29

Do you think that Sarah

7:31

Ever gets back together with God? And do

7:33

you think that Sarah ever

7:36

gets reunited with her son, Seth,

7:38

and her fake daughter, Heather

7:40

slash Sarah. Oh

7:42

my gosh. Well, my fake daughter is

7:44

like a big, like,

7:47

Disney or Nickelodeon. I think Disney

7:50

kid now or woman.

7:52

I mean, she's like sexy now.

7:54

and And

7:56

gosh, that was fun. And

8:00

Seth is a

8:02

demon. And

8:03

who's what was the other one?

8:05

Tucker Smallwood, who's

8:08

yeah. Who played God. He

8:10

was a

8:11

wonderful man. I was just Anyway,

8:14

I'm mumbling and rambling and this would have been

8:16

cut. And maybe it will be. But,

8:18

gee, I

8:19

don't know. It would be great to to

8:21

do something now that people do that

8:24

and and see what these

8:26

characters are up to and how they've changed

8:29

and grown. And, you

8:31

know, I mean, it's funny because

8:33

that character, which was the character it

8:35

was in Jesus' magic,

8:38

is an ignorant,

8:40

an arrogant, ignorant.

8:42

That's how I always explained

8:45

her. And And

8:46

then we had a president that was won,

8:48

and it just the whole

8:50

thing just became a bummer,

8:52

like, not like all that way

8:54

before that it became but

8:57

comedy is not evergreen and

8:59

sometimes it needs to say in the past, but it would

9:01

be interesting to explore what that

9:04

show today would look like with

9:07

more

9:07

voices and more

9:10

I

9:11

mean, you know,

9:13

Brian Hussein and Steve AG, for instance, are

9:16

straight, but I I thought it was

9:18

beautiful how they played

9:21

Brian and Steve. and

9:23

their love for each other. And

9:27

we had neighbors that

9:29

were these two older

9:33

Boston guys that were a couple

9:35

that lived next door to us at the time. And they

9:37

were like, Brian, Steve, who's this? Right.

9:39

Is that as it wasn't

9:41

based on them, but it did seem to give

9:43

voice to a

9:46

kind of gay man that hasn't

9:48

been, like, really reflected

9:51

in art that way. It's

9:53

just you know, we didn't even tell Brian and Steve they

9:55

were a couple. I think they thought they

9:57

assumed they were roommates the first couple

9:59

episodes, and we just we didn't want

10:01

them to change anything, you know.

10:03

But that doesn't really

10:06

answer anything you asked, but I feel like

10:08

it's a substantial kind of question.

10:09

Laurie, Yeah. I just

10:12

had a follow-up about long story. I guess How

10:14

much

10:16

time do you put in those arms, dude? Nice

10:18

13:15

meet me halfway or I have to climb all way in

13:18

there? I'll meet

13:20

you this way. How about that?

13:22

Oh my

13:23

gosh. Hello, Sarah Silverman? Hi. I'm

13:26

losing my mind. Really? Yeah.

13:28

I'm completely losing my mind right now.

13:31

First of all, obsessed with you. Love

13:33

you. You're

13:33

an inspiration. My

13:35

name's Claire Youngerman. I don't know if I said that already.

13:38

Yeah. Claire

13:39

Youngerman. Oh, okay. Claire Youngerman.

13:41

Thank you. Oh, god. You So

13:44

I just turned twenty five.

13:46

So I feel like I'm starting to

13:48

approach this, like,

13:49

quarter life crisis era,

13:51

which is so

13:52

funny because it's, like, assuming I'm living to a hundred.

13:54

But Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like,

13:56

what is that? So I was

13:58

wondering, have you ever felt that way?

14:00

Like, you in your maybe in your

14:02

twenties felt like this quarter

14:04

life crisis feeling of searching

14:06

for a meeting or just kind of feeling like you

14:08

don't really know what you're doing. And if so,

14:11

what did you do? I

14:14

didn't.

14:14

Oh. I'm gonna be at

14:16

because why why I think?

14:20

I think because

14:22

My experience of twenty five

14:25

is so different

14:27

from yours. I cannot imagine

14:30

coming of age in this time. And I

14:33

my heart breaks free. I'm

14:35

sure I know you're fine, but

14:37

I just can't imagine having

14:40

to to be

14:42

that age with social

14:44

media, with the Internet, with

14:46

I mean, I'm old

14:48

and I'm so swayed by even

14:51

this, what I all said, was it

14:53

even worth it? Is it even in your

14:55

minds? Is it just my Twitter algorithm

14:57

constantly trending the Jews?

14:59

You know, like, it's probably

15:02

only my phone, you know. I don't

15:04

even know what other

15:06

people are seeing or if I'm

15:08

just being

15:12

Suck

15:12

to us by the algorithm because

15:14

rage sells. You know,

15:16

like, I I'm very lost in

15:18

this moment and I'm twice

15:20

your age. So I I

15:22

can't imagine I mean, Anyone

15:24

right now who's not having, like,

15:26

an existential crisis weekly

15:29

is not alive. So,

15:32

like, to

15:34

be going through this in your twenties

15:36

and and is

15:38

is really something. And I'm

15:40

I look forward to the books

15:43

and the pieces

15:45

and the art that comes from

15:47

your generation because it's

15:49

what you're going through is so unique

15:51

to you. We all are going through it, but to

15:54

be in

15:55

the prime of your life during

15:58

it and where

16:00

most interactions are not in

16:02

person. I mean, like,

16:05

I there are people I

16:07

hate online. And

16:09

when I meet people in person, I was

16:11

telling Reggie this. It's like, there's

16:13

almost no one I've met.

16:15

that I don't like. I mean, like, I

16:17

really like people. Even even

16:20

if we're polar opposites, even

16:22

if they had a hate in their

16:24

heart, I you can see pain in

16:26

their eyes. It's different in person.

16:29

There's almost no 1II

16:31

couldn't love

16:32

in person. But it's

16:35

just so different. And so

16:38

I know that what I experienced

16:40

and I went through lots of things and every you

16:42

know, everyone has a heartbreaking story

16:45

or, you know, but

16:47

I

16:48

I

16:49

don't I I can't imagine

16:52

what

16:52

being your age now

16:55

is. And I really

16:56

would love to hear all about it,

16:59

not right now or from

17:00

you necessarily. But

17:04

it's

17:06

an

17:07

extraordinary time and

17:10

to be where

17:12

you are is is unique, I

17:15

think.

17:16

Rory,

17:17

how am I doing?

17:19

Good. I think it was great. And but just

17:21

so you know, I'm I'm twenty seven, and I totally

17:23

feel you. Just

17:26

smoke just smoke a lot of weed, y'all be

17:28

fine. Oh, shit. On the

17:30

other side. Alright. I'm coming down to you, and then

17:32

I'll come back up that way. Alright? This

17:34

is you won't get this right now. guy

17:36

is literally

17:37

doing this. Yeah. What does this come from?

17:39

The warming up of the hands

17:41

that indicates excitement. Oh,

17:43

I'm warming up my hands. I'm so

17:46

excited. I'm so excited. I'm

17:48

rubbing my hands together. You know what's

17:50

weird about that? Like, I always think of

17:53

this too.

17:54

there is a tune that

17:57

if you it or

17:59

sing it or whistle it,

18:01

it it tell it says

18:04

I'm guilty of something,

18:07

and I want you to think I'm innocent of

18:09

it. And it goes like this.

18:11

did you do it

18:12

the I

18:14

don't think I just

18:16

I mean, do you know what I mean? Yeah.

18:18

I think I grew up in if

18:19

someone was trying to see medicine, they go, do do do

18:22

do do. Like,

18:24

this literally the tune that means you did

18:26

something fun.

18:27

Yeah.

18:29

I know that tune. But

18:31

I feel like people when they sing that

18:33

song know you know that

18:35

they're guilty. You know? I feel like

18:36

In what?

18:40

I

18:40

don't know. I have to think

18:41

about that. It feels like it might be out of

18:43

bugs Bonnie. I'm

18:44

really gonna write a think piece about it.

18:46

Yeah. Sure. Alright. Name and

18:49

lot of those out here, but No.

19:00

Yeah. It's my Thursdays. So thank

19:02

you for that. And I'm

19:04

a little surprised that you thought that nobody would have

19:06

questions. I feel like I have about eighty.

19:08

Oh, good. So I

19:10

mean You're gonna This is a million y'all

19:12

can be lost. But then we'll you know, if we need to, we

19:14

can come back to you. Like Well,

19:17

19:19

one? What are you in the mood for? right

19:21

now. 00I

19:25

don't know. Would you

19:25

rather have a decision you have to make? Okay. I'll

19:27

I'll give you to give a choice you wanna

19:30

talk about resentments or musical

19:31

theater. Oh, both.

19:33

Let's just to give you two. Okay.

19:35

Great. So Tell

19:37

me your name again, Chris. name is Christopher and my last name is Youngsman

19:40

very much like her last

19:42

name. Oh

19:42

my gosh. Youngsman

19:45

young men means young man in Dutch.

19:47

Oh, I was gonna

19:48

ask if it was a Jewish,

19:50

but it's not

19:51

That is not. That's what I

19:53

get very excited when I have non Jews.

19:55

I a friend of mine, I was in Portland doing

19:57

a show and a friend of mine texted me,

19:59

and she's like, literally every

20:02

Jew in Portland is in

20:04

this theater. And I was like, oh

20:06

my god. I would be such

20:09

like I

20:10

could you could really kill

20:12

a lot of Jews if you blew up one of

20:14

my shows. I'm not saying you

20:17

should. Please don't. Definitely

20:19

don't. But so you know,

20:19

this is why your algorithm keeps coming

20:22

back. I know. I

20:24

know. and he's so

20:24

sick of me with the Jewish, Jewish,

20:27

Jewish. I am. I didn't even know I was

20:29

Jewish until until

20:32

I

20:32

you know, I mean, the only reason

20:34

just in it for the for the for

20:36

the arguing. You know?

20:38

Yeah. I

20:39

mean, I just I grew up in New Hampshire

20:41

where I would go, oh, I'm Jewish, but, like,

20:43

I'm totally not.

20:45

And then growing up, I look back and go,

20:47

oh, there's a reason I had that

20:49

instinct. But

20:51

anyway anyway.

20:52

Anyway, musical theater. Oh, hey.

20:54

Either one. Yeah. Great. So we'll do resigns first and

20:56

then we'll we'll finish. Oh, I'll finish my set

20:58

with music. Oh, no. We We

21:01

both. So so resentments.

21:04

I I'm

21:06

wondering if you carry resentments in

21:09

your life or

21:11

if it's something that you've been

21:13

able to overcome. Now I I know,

21:15

like, the twelve step programs

21:17

dealing with resentments. are like, you know,

21:20

I'm gonna I'm gonna about to authorize this,

21:22

but something like, you know, God doesn't make

21:24

any mistakes. Right? So any anything

21:26

that happens if if it's bad or

21:28

good. Whatever, you just, you know, let go

21:30

and let God. Right. Right. Go

21:32

let God, let go let the higher power.

21:35

Now you're someone who

21:37

doesn't believe in God. Right?

21:39

How dare it? I've I've

21:42

I've overheard. Right? So maybe

21:44

you're Maybe you're an agnostic. Right? Who believes

21:46

in something? Right? Or you're

21:48

an atheist who believes in nothing. Right?

21:52

So when you have something, like, a

21:54

coworker says something terrible

21:56

about you too, another person, and you resent

21:58

that that they did that or someone took your parking spot

22:00

whatever that is -- Yeah. -- you know,

22:02

right or or, you know,

22:04

drunk. You might have always come in

22:06

or drunk? How do

22:08

you process that and move

22:11

forward?

22:13

Or

22:14

do you let it just, like You

22:17

want me to get your sale answer? No. I

22:19

think I didn't know the truth because I think the

22:21

ideal is just that let go, like,

22:23

oh, that's the idea. Let's all do that.

22:25

Better better said than done. I

22:27

am

22:27

definitely the

22:29

best I've ever been with

22:31

this stuff. Correct. But I

22:32

am not.

22:34

Perfect. Rory will tell you I

22:37

I can stew and

22:40

process? Yeah. He's good to me to

22:41

say. No. I don't know. I don't I'm just

22:43

listening with my hand. Did

22:47

you say I'm just listening with my hand? Yeah. because I

22:49

you thought I was gonna but no.

22:51

Anyone anyone stews. You can stew.

22:53

Yeah.

22:53

But I do think I process

22:57

things, and I and I've I've gotten a

22:59

lot of skills from

23:01

my therapist. And

23:03

he too would say,

23:05

listen, it's everything that

23:07

happens is essential no

23:09

matter how much it seems not that way and

23:11

that it's funny because I was like,

23:13

My therapist said this thing about how

23:16

life is a performance and we all

23:18

have to play parts, like

23:20

whether you're the bad guy or the good guy or the or

23:22

you think you're the good guy. It's, like,

23:24

all the parts are essential and

23:26

and then I think Reuters, whoever I was talking

23:28

to, was, like, you mean, like, all the all

23:30

the world's a stage. And I know it's, like, oh,

23:32

yeah. I guess, shaped versus something similar. But

23:35

but

23:36

I he's given

23:39

me some skills to work

23:41

with. Like, just silly things,

23:43

like, you drop your

23:45

groceries. Like, that happened to me. Like, my

23:47

groceries just fell through the bag, and

23:49

I just and then I remembered what

23:50

he said, and I and he said just

23:52

to look up to the universe and

23:55

say, Thank

23:55

you for everything just as it

23:58

is. And it really works not

24:00

because I suddenly go like, yeah, but

24:02

because it makes me Largo. You

24:04

know, it's and then in a And and what I

24:06

do believe in and

24:08

this is so like somebody

24:11

moved to LA, but I do think

24:13

it's real. energy. I believe

24:15

in energy. It can't be What

24:17

is

24:17

that created or destroyed? But I've seen

24:19

it completely change. I've

24:22

seen, like,

24:23

someone like, give me the finger

24:26

and traffic and and

24:28

immediately get filled with rage.

24:30

They transferred energy to

24:32

me. And I've I've even I've

24:34

made people angry be then

24:37

turn into like a really good mood and

24:39

it's that same energy, but

24:42

it's changed. And I

24:44

I love that. Like, I think

24:46

my religion is energy and

24:49

science and love. But

24:51

and mister Rogers.

24:53

But

24:56

I am pretty good.

24:59

I'm

24:59

pretty good. I was a little punty this

25:02

morning, then I apologized.

25:04

Hey, oh,

25:06

wait. I do

25:09

I feel

25:12

like I Wait. Did I answer your question? I just

25:14

wanna be

25:14

clear when she pointed a manhunt, she was

25:16

a little cocky this morning. I never would

25:18

use that word. I was just saying, I guess so. I didn't wanna

25:20

use that word. I would say maybe you were a little

25:23

disagreeable. It's like

25:24

I guess I won't be

25:26

going back to sleep.

25:27

Yeah. We started

25:29

the morning

25:30

talking about trans rights.

25:32

Not fighting, but

25:34

it was just like we were like talking

25:37

about a big issue

25:39

early, and I wanted to go back to

25:41

sleep. But I

25:43

I participated at it, and then I

25:45

suddenly was like, no, I'm not gonna go

25:46

back to sleep. Is that a good story?

25:48

Do you think you think they like it?

25:50

They're probably

25:51

like, was he against

25:53

it? No. I think a lot of

25:55

people are clicking clicking subscribe right

25:58

now on the phone. You know,

25:59

like, we get

26:01

deep early I meant to

26:03

go back to

26:03

sleep. I mean, truth is it's where Only

26:06

early in your town, in your neck of

26:08

the woods. It was, like, nine in the morning. You know?

26:10

Right. And it wasn't, like, six. you

26:12

26:16

You

26:17

know? Yeah. Anytime

26:21

26:25

Should we move on? Story

26:30

because we should watch everything, but

26:32

I just don't want it, but You

26:52

go musical theater. Yeah. Okay.

26:54

So I'm

26:54

Yasbeck. We just have been making changes

27:34

for

27:34

-- Yeah. -- oh, good.

27:36

that's kind of part of my question was like, okay.

27:38

So now that you've had that you're

27:41

in the world. You're right. And then you you're in the

27:43

world at Muscial Theater -- Yeah. -- New York City,

27:45

I wanted to know if even

27:47

it was an off Broadway show, did

27:49

the Broadway community embrace

27:52

you at all? in it

27:54

as far as, like, you

So my question for you. Oh, yeah.

28:28

Yeah. And I get this a lot,

28:30

and if you're anybody who's a musical theater.

28:32

Remember, West

28:32

Bating was, like, don't just ask me questions about

28:34

my career, and then I'm, like, go

28:36

on. Go on. So

if you could

28:42

pick and I know one of them,

28:44

like, do you have that? Oh. Is that

28:52

too hard? I know. Oh, well I know what's gonna

28:54

be Let me of course.

28:57

Really? Let's have the forest no

28:59

brainer. because I saw it as a

29:01

kid in Boston and I went

29:03

bananas and I, like, fell

29:05

in love with Ellen Green and

29:08

I imitated her

29:10

singing and oh, wait. We were just

29:12

singing suddenly see more like a month ago and we it

29:14

may Kast late Largo. And

29:16

I was like, we're going to think we were fighting,

29:18

but it's probably cooler that they

29:20

think that or not that we got swept away singing,

29:22

suddenly see more in the bathroom.

29:24

The rule Sarah and I have

29:26

is she's supposed to tell me before she brings up

29:28

this personal issues on her podcast. Right.

29:31

Is that cool what I said? Yeah.

29:33

Totally cool. Totally cool.

29:36

the

29:38

I mean, Like, I feel like lame is

29:41

just to be true to my young

29:43

self who loved it so much.

29:45

But also, I would say, but oh,

Hobbs, but also, like, I

we'll I'll connect with Rory. It's it's

33:50

Platonic. It's Platonic. What do you

33:52

pull in doing that?

33:58

Sessions go

33:58

anywhere from a

33:59

hundred and fifty to three hundred

34:02

an hour. Is three

34:04

hundred, like, are we doing around the world

34:06

or something? Or How was it? I

34:08

mean, I'm not gonna

34:10

talk about my personally, but in my community, there are people that

34:12

do that are flown in from

34:14

places to other

34:16

places because they have a connection

34:18

with their clients that they fly them in.

34:20

Okay. But but the

34:22

question I wanted to ask you

34:24

actually is a

34:27

relationship question and it doesn't have to be personal. Mhmm.

34:30

And it's, I think, typical. I just

34:32

thought it might be kind of I'd like

34:35

to kind of fun to my life by hearing

34:38

how you deal

34:40

with when you live with someone

34:42

and they load the dishwasher

34:46

really differently than you

34:47

do. Roy might

34:51

want to take this one. This is

34:53

a really good question. I have a

34:55

question now about the professional cuddling as well. No. Just

34:58

does anyone in if you guys ever heard

35:00

of, like, dogs? Because

35:02

you can They'll cuddle for free.

35:05

They will cuddle for free. I'm

35:07

not knocking it. I'm just saying. Well,

35:09

but it's

35:11

different. That

35:12

is But I don't think we should get in

35:15

on the professional cuddling. That sounds fantastic. Well,

35:19

ah we have we

35:21

share different jobs and we're very good at, like, we

35:23

do our different jobs, and we

35:25

actually like to

35:28

clean Like, we do good job cleaning up and stuff. Like, we're we're

35:30

good at But he said it doesn't have to be about us,

35:32

you

35:32

know. It could be about anybody. But it

35:34

could be. It could be. Yeah.

35:37

We have a lot of I learned

35:38

a lot from Rory because I learned

35:41

because I

35:41

believe women belong in

35:43

the kitchen. You

35:46

learned.

35:46

It was very hard for me to learn to let

35:48

the dishwasher do its job. Sarah's

35:51

one of those people who

35:52

likes like like wash

35:54

the dishes and then put them in the dishwasher. because at that point, it's like,

35:57

well, you know, then we just wash the

35:59

dishes. It was really

35:59

hard to unlearn

36:00

that because I grew up

36:04

back Chile without I grew up in New Hampshire. I know I seem like

36:06

an urban Jew, but I I grew

36:08

up where a wood stove heated

36:12

our home and we did not

36:14

have a dishwasher. Have you guys ever seen that

36:16

show

36:16

little house on the floor?

36:18

And we tied

36:19

a well We our water

36:22

came from our well. I mean,

36:24

serious. And stay

36:24

washed clothing in the river on

36:28

a

36:28

washboard. Yeah.

36:29

You don't see Jews represented in that way on show business.

36:31

It's crazy because apparently we

36:34

completely run

36:36

it. But we you when you see Jews, they're

36:38

like scumbag lawyers always.

36:40

Not always, the Goldbergs.

36:43

Alright. So what

36:46

was the

36:47

question? I'm reanswering. about But

36:49

I spent ten minutes

36:51

on a dishwasher.

36:52

a lot of it,

36:54

i might add a bit color

36:56

Cuddler. Okay.

36:57

In well,

37:00

in fourteen.

37:00

My name is doing okay. Am I holding

37:03

you hostage? Go. It's been very

37:05

sad. My name is Marcy.

37:07

I'm an artist, and a

37:09

different

37:09

type of artist, like, more

37:12

visual.

37:12

But I just wanted to know,

37:14

like, what do you think is the most important

37:16

thing about creating art and,

37:18

like, you know, putting things out into the

37:20

world for people to, like, you know

37:22

Enjoy.

37:24

joy

37:27

Well, I

37:27

that's really I

37:30

almost

37:30

said I love art.

37:32

I love

37:34

art.

37:37

You know, I can't

37:40

remember who's a woman

37:42

said this to me at the at the that

37:44

I I didn't know well. at

37:46

the comedy store years ago, and she

37:50

said, you express yourself

37:52

however you see fit. And I

37:54

was like,

37:55

Wow. I don't know.

37:58

But I do think it's important

37:59

for for to

38:01

express yourself in

38:03

that art

38:05

is important. It it it

38:07

tells the story of our

38:09

lives more than news,

38:11

I think, you know, And

38:14

I don't

38:16

have any

38:17

If I could think about this,

38:19

I might say something

38:22

beautiful. But that's a it's a beautiful question.

38:24

And and maybe suddenly just feel

38:26

like this if someone feels like sick, they they

38:28

have an answer, I would say, like,

38:32

say

38:32

it, because maybe there's something beautiful about art. And I can't

38:34

remember at all what he said, but I

38:37

recently saw

38:37

Ethan Hawk

38:40

online in some video talking about art.

38:42

And I don't remember a single thing

38:44

he said except that I remember thinking,

38:47

Oh my god. That's so

38:49

beautiful. So look

38:51

it up. You know, you

38:53

can look it up. I don't know

38:55

from him, but I it was like mind

38:57

blowingly beautiful and it was about

39:00

art. So I'll connect you to that

39:02

without remembering

39:04

really literally any single thing you said. Yeah.

39:06

And by

39:06

the way, any of these questions tonight,

39:08

you can just Google them. I

39:12

don't know if that undercuts the whole premise, but everything's The

39:15

only one with me Yeah. I'm sure we'll go

39:17

here and this is simpler. Hey,

39:20

Sarah. Hi.

39:20

My name is Brian. Hi, Brian. I

39:23

am a recently single gay man

39:25

in his mid to

39:28

late thirties. I'm just

39:32

constantly watching all of my straight

39:34

friends kind of progress there, head of a

39:36

normative lies,

39:38

you know, getting married, having kids, buying houses, and I just

39:40

constantly in my heart of

39:42

hearts, I know we're on different paths.

39:46

inherently just different. Oh, you're

39:48

partnering you? No. I am very

39:50

single. So me and my straight

39:52

friends that are all have

39:54

their

39:54

lives going forward. I know I'm

39:56

on a different path than they are inherently,

39:58

but I can't

39:59

shake this prime all

40:02

primal feeling that

40:02

I'm falling behind everybody else. What

40:05

advice would you give to somebody like me that's

40:07

just I'm so glad this is live

40:09

because I have

40:11

Okay. And what

40:12

do you mean that you feel like they're

40:14

on a different path in what way? Like,

40:16

as a queer person, you just kinda

40:18

start life later than a straight person

40:20

in general. So and I know that,

40:23

but, like, when it comes down to

40:24

it, I'm just seeing another friend get

40:27

married by their house, have their second kid. And

40:30

I just broke up with

40:32

somebody where I I feel like I'm taking a step

40:34

backwards and just everyone else is

40:36

flying forward.

40:37

I just wanted to know how like, what you

40:39

would say, some advice that

40:42

could, like, help me not feel like I'm just,

40:44

like, falling behind

40:46

everybody else. You're

40:46

not falling behind at all because every

40:48

experience you're having

40:51

is bringing you

40:52

bringing you

40:54

closer to

40:54

where you're gonna be. You know, that they're

40:56

important. You're the sum of all your

41:00

experiences. So none of these

41:02

relationships

41:02

have been a waste of time.

41:06

And

41:06

I know

41:08

you

41:09

it's just instinctive in us to want

41:11

to find a partner or find a

41:14

but really try

41:15

to enjoy enjoy being

41:18

are you good at being alone? Shit. I

41:20

took

41:20

care of it.

41:21

That's okay. Yeah. Well,

41:23

yeah. because

41:25

until you love being

41:28

alone and being

41:30

in a relationship has to be so

41:32

you have to want it so bad that you're willing to give that

41:35

up. I think is a a good

41:37

way to go. But you

41:39

are not behind it's

41:42

not a race. Straight, your straight

41:44

friends are also not a monolith. You

41:46

know, they all have their struggles, their

41:50

comps, they're all gonna get divorced and

41:52

you're by the time you're I mean, it's like everyone is starting

41:54

and stopping.

41:57

everyone starting and stopping. Listen, I'm I'm fifty

41:59

one and childless and

42:02

which is not a failure. if

42:07

you could see by face like the audience, you'd

42:09

see that I was very much telling myself

42:11

that. And I don't feel that way. I don't

42:13

I mean, it's true that what I

42:16

say -- I I love kids.

42:18

But the only thing I love more than kids

42:20

is doing anything I want at all

42:24

times.

42:24

But just because I know

42:26

I made the right decision for

42:28

me doesn't mean that it's there

42:31

are moments where

42:33

First of all,

42:35

you're starting

42:36

by comparing yourself

42:39

to others, which is

42:41

what we all do naturally, but try

42:43

to be aware

42:44

of it. And you're doing

42:46

great. Look at you. You're hot. You're

42:49

beautiful.

42:50

You're you you

42:52

give off a kindness and

42:59

there's no there's

43:02

no track. We're

43:04

in a on a planet, in outer

43:08

space. grab joy where you can find

43:10

it. And do your

43:12

thing? You're gonna be fine. You're gonna

43:14

be great. You're you're

43:16

fresh meat. You're like totally

43:18

cute.

43:18

Thank

43:19

you. And

43:23

And and

43:23

yeah. Tell you what what

43:25

it helps me. I'm not

43:26

worried about you if that helps.

43:27

Also, when you're feeling that way, a good

43:29

thing to do is hire a professional cuddler.

43:32

You

43:32

know, get up in there. That's why he

43:34

You gotta cut

43:35

right. Get you cuddle

43:38

on, man. you

43:39

know, it's the professional cuddler thing. What just

43:42

real quickly, it made me think of their

43:44

I had heard that years ago

43:48

that their There were volunteers at Cedar

43:50

Sinai. Cedar

43:52

the eaters Cedar

43:53

Sinai. Is that how

43:55

you say it? What

43:57

did I say? say

44:02

Sinai. Sinai.

44:06

You should

44:10

talk

44:10

in that microphone you had in

44:12

your hand.

44:13

I gave it

44:16

a what?

44:16

Yeah. because that was a good one.

44:17

But it made me think of so at

44:19

at the hospital local

44:22

hospital here, they

44:24

they were they used volunteers

44:27

that would hold infants

44:32

that that were stranded, that were that

44:34

didn't to

44:34

to because it

44:36

helps them, you know, to

44:38

be held and loved. It's essential

44:42

And I thought, oh my god. I'm calling.

44:46

And the waiting

44:47

list to volunteer is

44:49

so much longer than the

44:52

babies that need to be held, which

44:54

is I thought.

44:54

Also, they don't anyone who calls

44:56

a hospital cyanide, they won't let

44:59

hold the baby. Alright. What do we

45:02

got? Hi, Sarah. I'm

45:04

Jonathan.

45:04

Hi, Jonathan. Hi, Adore. You

45:06

like everyone else here? When

45:09

you speak with or see Dave

45:11

Schappel again, how do

45:14

you feel that

45:15

conversation might go? I

45:19

hope we

45:21

hug and

45:25

talk about it or not talk

45:27

about it or I

45:30

don't know. I mean, listen,

45:32

the I I

45:34

am not

45:35

looking for an apology or something. I

45:38

I'm so tired of

45:40

why do

45:40

people want apology? Like, there's

45:43

not they're so if they're

45:45

asked for. But

45:47

this is one piece of

45:49

him. And and, you know,

45:51

I I don't you know i i i don't

45:53

I

45:56

I don't know, I guess. I guess

45:58

I I'm trying to think think of an answer

46:02

when the truth is so easy, I don't I don't know, but III

46:05

care for him

46:08

and I in

46:10

person, I love Mosby.

46:12

I really do. Like, I feel angry

46:14

at at what he

46:16

said, but I also know

46:19

you know, I I know people who are

46:22

probably comics that he's best friends with that

46:24

are Jewish that probably wrote some of those jokes with

46:26

him, you know. I I don't

46:28

think he I I think

46:30

most people aren't don't feel

46:32

powerful. They they're

46:34

maybe not aware of the the

46:36

power that

46:38

they have. And, you know, I actually think he does, but I

46:40

I also think kind of nobody does.

46:42

You know? Like,

46:45

I realized that this

46:47

is the

46:47

weirdest

46:52

analogy.

46:52

the analogy But

46:54

when I was young and had a lot of prowess

46:56

and a lot of sexual

46:58

power, I did not

47:02

I

47:02

slept with guys.

47:03

I didn't I hurt their feelings. I

47:05

didn't it never occurred to me that

47:07

I could hurt their feelings

47:09

or that I could hurt them at all or,

47:12

like, it it didn't occur

47:14

to me that there were they were

47:16

human beings, you know, like,

47:18

it it because I felt like I had no power and they had all the

47:20

power. And to a degree, I think that was

47:22

probably true.

47:24

But I do think that

47:26

powerful

47:27

people or influential people

47:29

don't always understand

47:32

what they're wielding and

47:35

I don't know. I

47:37

don't

47:37

know. I don't know. Any thoughts? Do

47:39

you have

47:42

any thoughts I don't know. I I've been in my car imagined

47:44

talking to him and said lots of things,

47:46

lots of smart things.

47:51

But, well,

47:54

I

47:54

fucking

47:55

did share with

47:57

us. I'm I'm

47:59

depleted. I I don't.

48:02

But, you know

48:04

That's how Sarah actually drives

48:07

his very nauseated. Doo doo

48:10

doo.

48:11

Question. Oh, shit.

48:13

They're

48:14

really popping up now.

48:16

I'll go down this point and I'll come around. He is not a bad person,

48:18

and he's done some

48:20

beautiful things, but

48:21

he's done

48:24

some

48:25

things. Sorry about your pound now. Right? Sorry. Yeah.

48:29

Hello?

48:32

It worked. Hi. It

48:33

worked. I turned it off. Hi, Sarah and

48:35

Michael. Hi, Michael. Nice to meet

48:37

you. I made the great

48:39

decision during COVID to wean

48:41

myself off of Lexipro.

48:44

After being on it for ten years, it's a anti

48:46

anxiety medication. And

48:47

I'm aware of it.

48:49

Yeah. Did you do this with

48:51

the guidance of

48:52

a doctor. I sure did. Okay. And I

48:55

long story short

48:57

during, like, the one day

48:59

then COVID got real, and Tom Hanks had it, and the stock market crashed,

49:01

and it was raining in LA. And

49:03

I ran out of -- raining in LA. It was

49:05

bad. Here's the park.

49:08

Here's the final straw. It was

49:10

a it was a really bad

49:12

day. And I ran

49:14

CVS ran out of my pills and I just

49:18

got even more anxious. I'm like, now I'm relying on this

49:20

CVS during a pandemic, and I

49:22

just freaked out. So I needed to get off of

49:24

it, got off

49:26

of it, off of it and realized most

49:28

of my anxiety was always focusing

49:30

on the future whether or not it

49:32

was real or not. Like, we would be

49:34

would be driving

49:35

on the freeway and, like, what if my car

49:37

just flipped over right now when I died? Or,

49:39

like, what if gravity just stopped and we

49:41

all float it into

49:44

space? Like, That's what I thought about all the time. Well, yeah. We

49:45

all do that not to that degree. That's

49:48

you're telling yourself horror stories.

49:50

And, you know, it's just like

49:53

you know, when we were kids and we'd walk

49:55

down the street and we'd go, if I

49:57

don't pass that crack in the road by

49:59

the time that car passes

50:01

me, I'll die. And, you know, I thought it was

50:03

just me and you thought it was just you, but it turns out this is a common thing.

50:05

And and the horror stories you tell

50:08

yourself too,

50:11

My therapist said

50:14

that that's how we deal with mortality.

50:16

That's something that we

50:20

do. But Another therapy thing is exactly

50:22

that, that when we

50:23

worry about

50:26

the future, that's

50:27

anxiety. That's what anxiety is. And

50:29

then when we are

50:32

focused on the that's depression.

50:34

So the only choice is to be in the moment, which is

50:36

something that we have to just always

50:38

practice because nobody can do it.

50:40

But it that's why it's

50:42

a this. You know? Like,

50:44

you just just gotta

50:46

catch yourself and and and just

50:48

catching yourself doing it is exciting because

50:50

you go, oh, I'm noticing, you know?

50:52

And then and and you can do that.

50:54

You can you can notice when you

50:56

do that or you can, you know,

50:59

like, if you put yourself, don't

51:01

Like, it's

51:01

a great exercise also. Don't shit on

51:04

yourself. It's exhausting. Nobody wants to hear

51:06

it. And you're fine.

51:09

You know? Like,

51:10

Just be kinder to yourself. Be as kind

51:13

to yourself as you would to any

51:15

asshole on the street. I have a

51:17

feeling. You know? And

51:20

because it takes up a lot of space all of this this

51:23

God, I'm so

51:25

anxious all

51:26

the time, but not all the

51:28

time. Well,

51:30

so

51:30

I I'm bad at the present. I'm bad at focusing

51:32

on the present. But what I've found that

51:34

has helped me is focusing on

51:36

the future, but like making up

51:39

scenarios in my head that are really positive. So I

51:41

don't play the lottery, but I constantly plan

51:44

on when I win. Like, what

51:46

will happen? and like the houses I'll

51:48

buy and who I'll give, like, how much money I'll give to

51:50

the people that have been nice to me that week and all

51:52

that. So my question to

51:54

you is, Is

51:56

there anything in the future whether it's real

51:58

or not that you tell yourself to make yourself

51:59

feel better that makes you hopeful

52:02

for the future?

52:02

I know there's a lot going on now.

52:05

But is there anything, like, glimmers of reality

52:07

that make you excited for

52:09

the future? I never

52:11

think about the future. I

52:13

never think about the future. I

52:15

don't know why. I don't do what. I mean,

52:17

sometimes I think about the future in terms

52:19

of like, what can I

52:22

get done? before this

52:24

thing that will take away any

52:26

anxiety that I have

52:28

around it. But I don't I've

52:30

never, like, when

52:31

people go five years from now? Where do you never think of it. I

52:33

just never think to think of it. Do I

52:35

ever think about the future?

52:36

I never think about the

52:39

for some

52:39

reason, I'm not saying that's good.

52:42

It's like a weird thing about I've never

52:44

made a I don't plan

52:46

things. I don't I

52:47

don't has the Apple Watch?

52:49

You're doing everything right. I'm sorry. That's just

52:51

me being distracted. I mean, this is you

52:53

can look at

52:54

your Apple. watch. My

52:57

anxiety comes out

52:59

in other

53:00

ways, I guess. I

53:03

just

53:03

Okay. Sorry. Is

53:05

everyone completely focused on me at all

53:07

times? Okay.

53:08

Yeah. I

53:09

I've got it all figured out.

53:12

Don't worry. I'm just

53:13

so thinking about how happy I am that Tom got over COVID. I mean,

53:15

that was something I think we really

53:17

all felt. You know? That

53:20

was my favorite thing. He was like, I was so anxious. I mean, Tom Hanks had

53:22

COVID. He did. And then it rained

53:24

in LA. That's great. I mean and

53:27

then but It is

53:29

scary when CVS doesn't have

53:30

your meds. Oh, so when Tom Hanks is sick. All

53:33

scary stuff. Yeah.

53:38

Yeah. I

53:38

remember when first time I heard Meg Ryan

53:40

got a cold that really upset me.

53:44

These are not references for the twenty five year old.

53:46

Alright. What what how

53:48

many what do you wanna put

53:51

Oh, shit. I

53:51

thought we're gonna end at nine thirty. Alright. Let's

53:54

the next

53:55

laugh will end.

53:57

Alright. Thank

53:59

you. I I mean, I

54:01

don't know, Sherry, I this is I knew this would happen where I didn't I

54:03

never end it. Four more there's four more

54:05

questions I see. You wanna knock them

54:07

all out? Is that 1234

54:08

Okay. Oh, but look at this bitch with five.

54:10

Yeah. I'm just kidding. I

54:12

didn't mean to

54:13

say this bitch.

54:16

ha Alright.

54:18

Right. Let's power through five. And then we're

54:20

done. So I don't care. You

54:21

guys I I'm so worried that I

54:24

that I'm

54:25

Okay. Nine thirty four. Alright. So we'll

54:28

okay.

54:28

lot of

54:29

Hi. I'm

54:31

Jamie. I'm fifty

54:34

one two I'll be fifty

54:36

two in November. In what time? November.

54:39

I did.

54:43

I just So

54:45

my question is about menopause and how

54:47

you forget everything. I'm

54:48

wondering if you and not assuming

54:52

you're going through menopause. But if you have had

54:54

symptoms, what has helped you get

54:58

through it?

54:58

I

54:59

don't know what you're talking

55:01

about. What?

55:04

I had my period

55:06

twice and they were both two

55:09

February's ago.

55:09

But yeah.

55:13

No. I'm fully It's

55:16

funny

55:16

because

55:18

about a year my

55:21

therapist my Sarah. No.

55:24

My gynecologist.

55:24

said, I think it's time to

55:25

go off a birth control and I go,

55:28

oh, okay. But just so you

55:30

know, I'm I'm

55:32

still

55:32

sexually active and she goes, yeah,

55:34

don't worry

55:35

about it. I was

55:37

like, fuck you.

55:39

I need to get pregnant just

55:40

to spite you and then get

55:42

an abortion just to spite the half

55:45

the

55:45

country and then I

55:48

went through the

55:49

whole, like, three

55:52

costume changes Kast just

55:54

drenched, just

55:56

soaking wet hair, soaking wet, everything

55:59

just

55:59

drenched. And I started this

56:02

is interesting. I

56:04

took some progesterone that really helped, but then I went off of

56:07

that and now I put estrogen

56:09

up my Sarah, like,

56:11

twice a week. and

56:13

it's been

56:16

great. Yeah. And

56:18

we have four more?

56:20

Yeah.

56:22

Yes. But it is isn't it funny that that

56:24

they're and I've said this a

56:25

couple times before, but

56:27

there's not an a woman

56:30

version of emasculating.

56:32

And we feel it so much,

56:35

especially now.

56:36

right and Right?

56:38

56:40

FOR IT. IT'S

56:41

MASculating. IT'S

56:43

MASculating. No. IT'S NOT THAT, SILLING

learning curve. I was like, we could

57:45

months, ten years later. Here we are. We

57:48

58:19

58:27

Thank you. Big fan. I have

58:29

your show on

58:32

DVD. like other people.

58:34

And I consider you the

58:36

baby penis in my mind all

58:39

the time. So But I just have a super

58:41

light question, not deep like anybody else

58:44

here. Great.

58:46

What is your favorite board game?

58:49

Did you ever play

58:50

board games growing up? Or do you play modern

58:52

board games? And what's your favorite board

58:54

game? My best friend,

58:55

Tal John, has like board game

58:57

nights, and he lives six houses

58:59

away from me and he doesn't invite me

59:02

because

59:02

I

59:05

I did like trivial pursuit

59:06

when I was a kid. That was fun.

59:08

And we played this game where you, like,

59:10

make up the end of a sentence and then

59:13

everybody reads it or I

59:15

don't remember what was called, but I I don't know. I'm

59:17

not really into board games. I don't

59:19

like that. What is

59:21

it? Crimes against humanity or Hearts against

59:23

humanity. Yeah. I

59:24

don't like crimes against humanity

59:28

either. but

59:29

not as much as I don't like cards

59:31

against humanity. I just find it very

59:33

uncreative. I have no interest in it. But I

59:35

do play poker. And

59:38

I like that. And I

59:40

like being around my friends, you know, but I

59:42

don't like to be beholden to like a

59:44

board.

59:45

and things.

59:47

Like, monopoly, I just never

59:50

understood. It sounds like

59:51

work to

59:54

me. But

59:56

if one question.

59:57

Alright. Alright.

59:59

right Where

1:00:00

where

1:00:01

am I? Shit. Alright. Your number five or number four

1:00:03

is right here. Alright. We're two down. We're

1:00:05

222

1:00:05

to

1:00:08

the end. Hey,

1:00:10

Sarah. How's

1:00:10

it going? Good. How are you doing? I'm

1:00:12

doing well. So what I've realized about

1:00:14

myself is that my favorite comedians have

1:00:18

a genuine lunacy or

1:00:20

absurdity that's interwoven into the

1:00:22

personality. So when I think of

1:00:24

someone like Norm or Louis, or even

1:00:27

Regu Watts. I was wondering how much Lucy

1:00:29

do you think you have in yourself and

1:00:31

what are the advantages and

1:00:34

disadvantages of that lunacy

1:00:36

and comedy and life in

1:00:38

general.

1:00:38

lunacy

1:00:39

Lunacy. The question is,

1:00:41

do I have lunacy? Oh, just

1:00:43

just a

1:00:43

little taste of it.

1:00:45

Lunicey. Lunicey.

1:00:50

Lunicey.

1:00:50

Lunicey.

1:00:54

Lunosi. Oh oh, like LUNAACY

1:00:56

No. I'm just saying it too many times and now

1:00:58

I don't know what it means. Like, Lunacy,

1:01:04

craziness.

1:01:10

the mariners

1:01:11

Lunarcy. I yeah.

1:01:14

Well, I think, like,

1:01:15

medians have, like, some

1:01:18

license to

1:01:20

explore that and have it

1:01:22

be a part of them

1:01:24

Whereas

1:01:24

a lot of people have, like, feel they need to

1:01:29

stamp it out.

1:01:31

But, yeah, there's

1:01:33

a freedom in that, I think. Is

1:01:36

does that sound like what you

1:01:38

would imagine, I would say? Do

1:01:40

I want to say that?

1:01:48

Yeah. Yeah. I mean,

1:01:49

it's the yeah. What

1:01:52

is

1:01:53

lunacy really though? especially

1:01:56

when you've said it eight times and you're like, what the

1:01:58

sounds my mouth is

1:01:59

making? Burger

1:02:02

kings.

1:02:04

Alright.

1:02:06

Here we go. Final question. Dad,

1:02:08

we're winding down.

1:02:10

Oh

1:02:11

my Dad's here. Yeah.

1:02:13

Oh my god. I totally forgot you

1:02:15

guys. We're here. Hi.

1:02:18

Dad, we're

1:02:20

winding down. Hey,

1:02:20

Schleppy. Why don't you stand up? Give a

1:02:22

little wave. Can

1:02:23

you? There he is.

1:02:28

I

1:02:31

remember many years ago when I

1:02:34

was dating

1:02:35

Jimmy Kimmel. What?

1:02:36

Oh my

1:02:38

god. This is so awkward. I

1:02:40

know you were just with him. I

1:02:42

remember saying, like, my dad does this

1:02:44

weird thing where he, like, does this and

1:02:47

just looked at me, and I was like, what?

1:02:49

And he goes, you do that.

1:02:51

And I just had

1:02:53

no idea. Alright. Here we go. question of the The pressure is on. I

1:02:55

don't know.

1:02:56

Man, the pressure is on.

1:02:58

Okay. So

1:02:59

the first is a

1:03:01

question where she is. And the

1:03:03

second no. But it's little. And

1:03:05

the second like, sort of a comment because

1:03:07

it was a question about Chapelle, but now it's a

1:03:10

little comment. Okay. So first,

1:03:12

I am also a

1:03:14

Jew from the northeast, but

1:03:16

from a little town where there weren't many

1:03:18

of us. Where?

1:03:20

Canton, Massachusetts. Oh, Canton. Yeah. I've

1:03:22

heard of it. Oh, okay. I have that.

1:03:25

So really, like, And when

1:03:27

when I heard you say this

1:03:30

evening it that

1:03:32

with

1:03:32

friends and people, it would be like, yeah.

1:03:35

I'm

1:03:35

a do but not really,

1:03:37

like, not really do

1:03:40

it. And

1:03:40

that's exactly who I was. And with

1:03:42

the name Kerry, I could tweak it Carrie

1:03:44

and B.

1:03:45

Irish and whatever it was. But then tonight,

1:03:46

you said, I'm, like, in urban g

1:03:48

now.

1:03:48

And then I hear

1:03:50

you say things like, what's what's

1:03:53

with him in Jewish comments. And

1:03:55

I had a point in my life where

1:03:57

I decided to embrace those things.

1:03:59

And I was wondering if that is

1:04:02

something that also happened for you?

1:04:04

Just based on what you said this

1:04:06

evening. Yeah.

1:04:06

I mean, I think, like, I

1:04:08

didn't know it was Jewish until

1:04:11

I mean, I My sister sue rabbi Susie

1:04:13

says investors, like, we like,

1:04:16

my parents have no they have

1:04:18

no religion. You know? They're they're, you

1:04:22

know, agnostic. it at best. And they

1:04:24

or were yeah. Mhmm. And

1:04:27

and Susie would

1:04:28

say, like, we just stop being Jewish

1:04:30

meant being a red because

1:04:32

we were in New Hampshire, but

1:04:34

you feel it because people

1:04:37

are

1:04:37

aware that you're Jewish

1:04:40

and then that makes you aware

1:04:42

of it because you're like, oh, is that different? Or, you know and

1:04:45

then so it's almost

1:04:47

like I feel almost not

1:04:50

defined by

1:04:53

antisemitism, but it's what's

1:04:56

made me feel

1:04:58

most Jewish in a way because it

1:05:00

makes me go. It's kind of like when you,

1:05:02

like, go, my mom's a fucking bitch.

1:05:05

gymula, and then your friend goes, yes. Your mom's a bitch and

1:05:07

you're like, what'd you say

1:05:08

about my mom? It it

1:05:10

feels like that, you know, like and

1:05:15

I feel very

1:05:18

culturally Jewish and it's, you

1:05:20

know, it's but anyway, does that answer

1:05:21

that? That answer that? nine

1:05:23

forty five. That was a great night. A

1:05:26

hour and forty

1:05:28

five minutes.
