And his nickname for me is like off.
He's like, nah, you're over thinking it.
It's positive.
He calls me big guy.
And then he acts like I'm being crazy about positive. He calls me big guy.
And then he acts like I'm being crazy about this. He's like, I get out of your head, come on,
you're fun, you're big guy.
Guys love when you come around,
they're like, look, big guys, yeah.
I'm like, no woman wants to be called big guy.
That's what you call a union trucker.
I actually told this story on stage in front of my husband, and it was very satisfying.
I got off stage, I'm like, did you hear that?
Did you listen to the crowd's reaction?
When I said that, he goes, yeah, they frickin' loved it.
I'm like, no, they're laughing at you.
It's at you.
He's like, I don't know big guy. They thought it was solid
On this episode of the commercial break
If you're listening to this, let's have tea. I need to know why your mother hates me. I'm very curious
This is definitely our target audience old angry lady. He's looking great. So I'd stand up. That's our target audience. I have questions too. She did a double flick off too.
It was both hands.
She was like, ahhh.
Fuck you.
And you can tell it was the freest she's ever felt.
Like she's definitely gonna put out that night
after flicking me off with both hands.
The next episode of the Commercial Break starts now.
Heyo.
Heyo.

No.
No. No. No. feedback about the leg washing.
I just have to say.
I washed my legs today.
Mainly by my wife.
You washed your legs today?
I did, I washed my legs.
You took a chance?
You took a gamble?
Just because I was thinking about it.
Well, let me smell your shins.
Let me lick those shins and see if I end up
with strep throat.
Did you wash your shins?
Did you wash your shins today?
Let me smell those shins. You know, sometimes parents will be like, let me smell your armpits.
Let me smell your breath.
Yeah, let me smell your breath.
That's my favorite one.
My kids like to brush their teeth by sticking the toothbrush in the mouth, eating the fluoride-filled
toothpaste and then going, Darry, I need my toothpaste.
Like, no.
No, you gotta brush.
Putting it in your mouth does not count as brushing.
Brushing teeth is the worst. It's the worst because they just don't want to do it. I can you gotta brush. Putting it in your mouth does not count as brushing. Brushing teeth is the
worst. It's the worst because they just don't want to do it. And I can't blame them. I was a kid. I
didn't want to do it either. And I didn't do it. And that's why I got to get teeth pulled out of my
head. I only started paying attention to my dental hygiene about my mid-twenties, which is terrible.
I mean, just terrible. But I have a sincere fear of dentistry, like a sincere, legit fear of dentistry
for good reasons. But anyway, people
people responding about the leg washing, lots of people are on the leg washing side, lots of people
are saying let it roll, let it flow, let it go downwards, you know, just let it shuff off your
body, all the dead skin and icky poopies that may get all over your, all over your legs. I say, you
know, once, twice, three times a week, if you're like an everyday shower, go three times a week on the leg washing,
and then you're splitting the hairs right down the middle,
and that makes me happy to know
that our audience has clean legs.
You know what I'm saying, Chrissy?
That's true.
It makes me happy to know you have clean legs.
But did you wash your ass is the question.
I did.
You did?
I washed everywhere today.
Okay.
Yup.
And then another thing.
Everywhere.
Oh.
I was thinking about it too, you know, women that do shave their legs. Yeah. And then another thing. Everywhere. Oh, ooh. Ooh. Just, the thought. I was thinking about it too,
you know, women that do shave their legs.
Yeah.
There's a washing.
There's a washing component to that.
You're stripping the top layer of skin off
with the razor.
So it's kind of like a wash.
You know, hey, listen, if you wash your legs,
congratulations, if you don't wash your legs,
I'm not gonna hate you
because I too am not an every shower leg washerer. That's just not what I do. But hey,
that's not important because guess what? Today on the TCB infomercial, I'm super,
and we'll ask Rachel this, I'm super excited to have Rachel Feinstein on.
Yes, I love her.
Yeah, she's great. And she's a prolific comic and she's Comedy Central specials all over the place.
Lots of YouTube videos to go watch.
Rachel Feinstein.
Her Instagram's hilarious too.
Underscore, yeah, on Instagram.
Yeah, I wanna ask her about this one particular reel,
because, and here's why I wanna ask her.
So there's a reel, and I'll explain it just a little bit
so you preface it when I ask her about it.
I think it's pinned to like the top of her Instagram reels
section, I guess was what you call it.
Listen to me, I'm like a 80-year-old man section her Instagram reels section, I guess was what you call it. Listen to me, I'm
like an 80 year old man section, your real section, the reels divider. She gets engaged with,
she's doing a little crowd work with an audience member who was also shown in the video.
It's a lady who's got like an ass caught on a couple different scarves, one of those French
hats, but the lady is probably in her late 70s, I'm gonna guess. Very dramatic makeup on, like big eye shadow and all this other
stuff. And she just looks like a typical, mean, old, white lady. That's what she looks
like. And she is throwing darts with her eyes to Rachel, and Rachel stops the show to talk
to her to engage with her. Why are you looking at me like I'm a whore? Right? And it's this
funny interchange that goes on where the lady says nothing, but Rachel's having a whole
commentary running in her, running, I guess, not in her head, out loud about what she thinks
the lady would be saying to her, you know, and it's funny.
What is she talking? Yeah.
And so many of the, so anyway, and then the lady flicks her off. She gives her the double
middle finger and not what you would expect of a lady that looks like this, an old white lady who looks like a crazy cat lady. Not what you would expect. But Rachel
rolls with the punches and she does. It's very fucking funny. I watched it, probably four times
I watched it. But the comments section, so many people say, it's a plant. That's a plant. That
lady is not real. There's no way she can be at the, you know, blah, blah, blah. So many people hate,
not hating, but questioning whether or not.
Well, it was a true exchange.
A true exchange or if it's a plant.
So I'm curious to ask and get the load out.
Let's go straight to the source.
Sometimes it's hard not to believe, like I've been to comedy shows where the exchanges are
just too shiny, right?
It feels like a plant, but I guess it's just comedy gold happening in the moment because
my belief is it's probably
not a plant. Like, why would you plant a lady in your audience? You have a whole hour of
material to do. Why would you plant a lady? I guess, you know, magic shows do it all the
time, but I don't think comedians are at that level. We're not talking to David Blaine. We're
here with Rachel Feinstein. You know what I'm saying? But here's what's exciting.
Have you ever seen David Blaine?
I have never seen him live.
Yeah, live.
Something about David Blaine just has always creeped me out, just a hair. Do you know what
I'm saying? He's got that look on his face, like, I don't know. Like he murdered your
cat and he wants you to know it. You know what I'm saying? It's a secret, but he wants
you to know it. Like Claudia Schiffer is chopped up somewhere in his basement, but he's walking
around with a body double. I don't know. I'm not saying that I don't dislike David Blaine. I just never really-
He seems pretty cocky.
Oh yeah. But I guess you earn those stripes when you spend 17 days frozen in a block of ice,
pissing on yourself. I mean, I suppose. I don't know. I think of him less as a magician, even
though I know he does have street magic bona fides. I think of him less as a magician and more of a-
Like a entertainer.
Like an endurance, like a guy who sets records, right? He just hanging above, one time he's
like hanging above New York for three weeks or something, you know, people were taking
pictures and then he froze himself in a block of ice and he buried himself for 10 days.
And then he's underwater for 30 minutes. And I don't know, I don't know what to think. It's all very impressive what he's doing. But for what fucking reason, I ask you?
Just to get attention, that's it. Because who else would put themselves in a block of ice for
three weeks? I mean, I remember that people were literally, he was in the glass window of like some
retail store and there was a line to just walk by and see David's
shriveled dick. Look, it's David's shriveled dick.
It's shrinkage.
Yeah. Which, hey, cool. It's sweet, man. Nice job on the ice trick, I guess. But that's
not magic. That's just you frozen in a block of ice for attention, right? But this is coming
from a podcaster who's desperately seeking attention.
I don't know if I should be throwing stones in an ice house, you know what I'm saying?
That's true.
And let he who has not sinned. That's just my opinion. But no, I've never seen Dave. I've
actually never seen any of the big magicians live.
Me either.
I've been to Las Vegas a lot, but never really was sober enough to go and be on the show.
I was never sober enough to sit through the hour long presentation about time shares to
get the free tickets to the show.
But I did one time pretend that I was married to my
best friend at the time to, or engaged to, and she didn't have a ring on her finger. It was the
stupidest thing to go to one of those Time Share presentations to go see, what was it? Cirque du
Soleil, the Zumanity, the like, the naked one. And then we also then later on that day went to another
Time Share presentation to go to a a like a showgirls show.
I think it was at Harris or no, we were staying at that Irish one, O'Shaaga Hands or whatever
it was.
And they had like an old timey showgirl thing, tits and ass and all the whole nine yards.
Yeah, the skirts.
Yeah, they did the can can and the whole nine yards. But, they did the can-can and the whole nine yards. But it was actually
an impressive show and there were tits. It was good. It was like good pop music. They
were dancing, doing their thing. There was some other entertainers that came out during
the show and the tits were fantastic. I mean, I just have to say, showgirls have nice tits.
I guess that's why they're showgirls. They're showing you their girls, right? I mean, I
suppose. I don't know if there,
are there any showgirl shows left in Vegas?
I don't know.
There's gotta be.
There's gotta be one.
Yeah.
I do remember the showgirls movie,
which was mainly Elizabeth Berkeley overacting sex scenes.
But okay, let's get past that.
She also had very nice boobs, you know?
Hey, listen, I'm a guy who likes boobs.
There's lots of people who like boobs.
So anyway, back to Rachel Feinstein,
who I'm sure is gonna be happy to hear this intro.
Yep.
Rachel Feinstein has a hour long Netflix special out today,
May 21st. Today.
So you must go watch or we implore you to go watch.
We actually haven't even seen it yet.
No, we're gonna watch it.
Yeah, because we're recording so fucking early
in the morning.
So please go watch that and then check out her Instagram. All of the links are in the
show notes, so don't despair. You can always go and click afterwards onto the show notes
and check it out. You know, little app called Netflix. I hear it's taking the world by storm.
That's what I hear. That's what I hear. And the new home for comedy. It used to be HBO
and now it's Netflix. We've talked about this a lot on the show.
And although HBO is also doing,
also still supporting comics in a major way.
I was on that HBO plus Max Discovery minus,
or whatever it is.
It's everything.
Yeah, and there was a lot of comedy specials
that they are also promoting too.
And I think it's great.
I think it's good for, I think we all need a lot.
Everybody wants to laugh.
Yes, that's it. Everybody wants to laugh. And I make it my mission to watch as many of these
as I possibly can because we have so many of these comics come in the door and I love the art of
comedy. And when someone gets me, when someone gets me like, I'd laugh out loud, hard, it's such
a great feeling to that release. Not a lot of laughing right now, but outside of this podcast.
And so it's such a big relief
and it feels good. And I just-
There's a chemical release in your brain.
Yeah, I'm grateful for it. And Rachel's one of those people who've given me quite a few belly
laughs. Here's why I like Rachel too. She's observational with character humor. And what
I mean by that is, not unlike myself, because I want to give myself my own props. Not unlike myself, I like it
when comedy goes a little sideways. Here's what I mean. You make an observation about
the world and then in your head, you have a conversation, like some side note happens
and you have a conversation in your head and you make up a voice for a certain character
that's doing a thing that you just observed and then it comes, and then she says it out loud in that voice. She's doing voices. She's
doing characters. And I love that. I think that's my brand of humor. I like that very
much. So she's good at that. She's been around for, I don't say a long time. I don't want
to date her. I mean, I'd like to date her, but she's married. You know, you got what
I'm saying. But you know, I don't want to date her, but she has done quite a bit of comedy.
And I think she's like good,
she must be good friends with Amy Schumer.
Yeah, she's in a lot of her stuff.
Yeah, she's in a lot of her stuff.
She's been in, she's been in movies.
She's been in, let me give you a little rundown.
How's that?
We usually don't do this with our guests, but I'll do it.
She's on Life and Beth.
She was on Red Oaks, the Steven Soderbergh Amazon series.
She was on Crashing, which I loved Crashing.
I'm so sad that that's not around anymore. She was on Crashing, which I loved Crashing, I'm so sad that
that's not around anymore. She was in Trainwreck Top 5, she was on the Nightly Show with Larry
Wilmore, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, she's hosted The View, co-hosted The View,
Inside Amy Schumer. She's also one of the voices on Grand Theft Auto. So, I'm sure anybody under 40
currently has a man boner about that. I wonder who she is on Grand Theft Auto. So I'm sure anybody under 40 is currently has a man boner
about that.
I wonder who she is on Grand Theft Auto.
We should have a conversation about that.
If we get a chance, we'll talk to her about that.
So let's do this, Chrissy.
Let's do it.
Let's go into my awkward transition phase.
Okay.
Give it to me.
I'm ready.
Why don't we take a break and then we'll take a break
and through the magic of tele-podcasting,
we'll get her here on our Zoom-like product that will allow us to talk to her from wherever she is
in the world. I believe that's LA for the Netflix is a Joke Festival. Let's get her on. And then
when we come back, we'll talk to her and the audience can actually hear it.
I think that's a great idea, Brian.
I love how you always game for my wacky ideas.
That's what we do. That's what we do!
Alright, we'll be back with Rachel. And you can text us anytime you want. Or you can call and leave us a voicemail
and we might just use your message on the show.
Once Brian gets through all the messages he missed last year, of course.
Anyway, you can also find and DM us on Instagram
at the commercial break and on TikTok at TCB Podcast.
And of course, all of our audio and video is easily found on TCBPodcast.com.
Now I'm going to thank G one more time that we have sponsors,
so thank G and here they are.
This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
I'm gonna share that I've been going through
a difficult time lately with one of my family members.
No trauma, no huge drama, just a difficult situation
that I'm trying to navigate.
It's times like these when I'm grateful
I've got a therapist that I can speak with.
Therapy for me is the release valve.
It's a place I can go and speak to an objective third party
about even the smallest of details in my life.
I've been using therapy for many years
to help me navigate these difficult situations,
but then to also work on some of the bigger issues
we as human beings all experience.
And I'd like to think it's making me
a little bit of a better person.

been to therapy I'd like to recommend BetterHelp. BetterHelp is designed to be

And we're here with Rachel now. Thank you for joining us, Rachel. We're grateful for your time today.
We know you're very busy. You have your new Netflix special out today on Netflix. Breaking news.
Breaking news. You heard it here last. Rachel's special is coming out today. A little app
called Netflix. How are you feeling about this all? Is it very exciting?
I am feeling pretty good. I am at my aunt's house right now and it's just, I'm just trying,
I'm just juggling it all, you know?
Yeah.
I think I have like some eyelash glue on my face from yesterday, so I'm just juggling it all, you know? I think I have some eyelash glue on my face from yesterday,
so I'm running a tight shit.
I was trying to get on this thing and de-glue myself.
I'm like, what's this?
There's always a smear on myself.
I'm like, what's that?
I got the money shot on my face.
Did somebody write on my forehead?
Did somebody write on my forehead
when I was passed out last night?
Are you in town for Netflix is a Joke?
Yes, for Netflix is a Joke festival. I did a show here and to do stuff for my special too.
Can I ask a question about the minutia of Netflix is a Joke, which I just spent like an hour,
We talked about it yesterday.
a couple episodes ago, talking about how wonderful it is that Netflix is all in on comedy and really, I
think, is doing a stand-up job, pun intended, of showcasing young, up-and-coming and veteran
comics.
I think they're just doing a great job supporting that medium when it's desperately needed because
everything's so bifurcated and everybody has a podcast and everyone's doing specials on
the internet and it's so hard to catch that spotlight. Do you record those for
future release or is it just a show that you're doing as part of a festival?
Can you call me Young again?
Yes, you are young.
That's all I got from that. We produced the special in New York and then Netflix airs it, streams
it now, it's on now.
So sometimes it depends on the deal, but sometimes Netflix is like does the whole thing here
in LA, but we did it.
It was a very New York special.
So you know, we basically made it ourselves and sold it to Netflix.
And so yeah, but it's now a Netflix special.
And congratulations.
Your earphones are really giving you a difficult time.
Are those Aunt Lois' earphones?
They are.
They are.
She's wired to the computer to make sure
that nothing goes wrong.
She was like, as I was getting on,
she was like, you can't live like this anymore
and we're gonna discuss it.
Is Aunt Lois always like this?
Has she been like this since you were a kid?
Yeah, she runs a tight ship.
She dies?
Yeah, she's like already changing the bed
that I slept in.
Like, you know, the room's always like,
I'm still just like a deep pig,
you know, hurling things everywhere and yeah.
Aunt Lois coming behind you,
you're like Pig Pen just dropping shit everywhere
and she's just coming by with a broom and a dustpan.
Okay, so let me ask you, as a pig, we have a hot debate going on here at the commercial
break and we've had it for a long time, quite frankly.
I one time admitted that of the two showers I take a day, because my OCD is an overdrive,
that I may or may not choose to wash my legs on every single shower event.
At least not the shins, maybe.
At least not the shins, like, you know, knee down.
I don't, you don't need to wash your sticks.
It's like, it's a trickle down theory.
Yeah, exactly.
Trickle down theory.
Trickle down theory.
This is it, I told you, I'm right about this.
I was so vilified when I read an article the other day
that said, doctors weigh in on whether or not
you have to wash your trunk,
and trunks don't need to be washed.
So I have to agree here. I think the soap just runs down. The abrasiveness
of the water lets it go. But you know,
Plus how dirty are your shins?
I mean, he's taking two showers a day. You're probably scrubbing off everything. You're
like skinny, all the basic oils. I worry more about that. Yeah. So you're like, you're showering,
like you've just been victim of a crime or something.
It's a lot.
It's a hostile amount of scrubbing.
Yeah.
I have 12 children.
I am a victim of a crime.
That's where you get away, is in the shower.
Yeah, when I, see, what I do is I just,
I just use a lot of wipes.
Yeah. I take real lazy showers.
Yeah. Like, and then just would do some wipes in between.
I think, I think like a wet wipe on a plane
counts as a full shower, personally.
I agree.
I agree, it counts as a plane shower
and planes are the most disgusting places on earth.
I am 100% positive.
That's what my grandma said.
She said, all you need is a wipe on a plane,
wipe your pits on a plane.
That's like a French whore shower.
I'm just gonna wipe my pits and get back to work. It's called a horse rinse. You have a little satchel and you put a few products to cover your whoring.
One of my favorite Instagram reels you, your Instagram reels.
And I wanna know if this is real.
You gotta break some news here on this.
I wanna know if this lady was planted or if this is real.
And I know you know which real I'm talking about.
You're on stage and there is an older lady
with like an ass cot or something on and a hat.
And you turn around and you start talking to her
and you're like, you're looking at me
like I'm a whore on fire.
Whatever you said, but you and her get into this interaction. She flicks you off. I I watched it four times
It was so fucking funny. I know that missed out fire-looking bitch. She hated me so much
And okay first of all this idea that comedians have plants in the audience
Do you know how expensive it is like where I'm hurling my body around the country. I don't have a car service, much less a plant. I could plant some lady to glare at me. No, no. Unless it's a full blown hoax
that you see, we don't have plants. No, people just, there are a lot of bad people in the
world that like to come and sit up front row at our shows and glare and judge us. Yeah.
I can't, look, I'm at my aunt's house right now. You think that I can afford a plant? I don't know. I have this thing in my mind. We've had so
many Netflix comedians on especially running up to this festival. So many people on that
are doing Netflix is a joker or have specials had specials going to have specials. And I
have this vision in my mind that the second you get a Netflix special, you're sitting
down with Ted Sarandos and having dinner. That's my vision. I don't know.
That's Thursday.
That's Thursday.
Thursday.
That's when I get on his plane.
It's on Thursday.
No, we don't, like, first of all, comedians,
like I just said, we're cleaning ourselves with wet wipes.
Like, we're not running a tight ship.
So the amount of, like, the amount it takes for me to just,
like, I just lost my debit card, you know, so like I have to, I have
to, I'm barely holding on, I could never afford to like
play it like pay somebody to glare at me. But I'm always
fascinated in the comment section, because it's a mixture
of people. So either they're really supportive. And they're
like, I love strong women in comedy. Or it's like the meanest
like the most specifically mean, it'll be like your arms are fatter than last week. And I'm like, okay, she's comedy, or it's like the meanest, like the most specifically mean, it'll be like, your arms are fatter than last week.
And I'm like, okay.
And then it's like, or they think,
I'm like, someone's tracking my arm fat.
Okay. And then the next, the next comment,
the next comment will be like, here's what she did.
She hired the lady before,
she paid her outside out of a trench coat.
She pushed her inside toward the glaring.
Like, no, we're not that together.
Here's the thing, people for some reason,
I don't know why they gravitate towards the front row
of a comedy show when they're furious
or really like aggressively drunk.
Like in the same show,
I had one missed out fire looking lady glaring at me.
She was wearing this.
First of all, I don't think that she knew where she was.
I think what happened is a lot of people,
a lot of people planned on a different evening. I don't know what was going on with her, but I think she thought she was. I think what happened is a lot of people planned on a different
evening. I don't know what was going on with her, but I think she thought she was going
to like a play about Virginia Woolf or something. And then she's here at this godless horrors
comedy show and she was furious.
This is why I asked the question because I'm reading the comment section on this, this
reel. I'm like now deep diving into your one reel, right? I'm like, Oh my God, I'm obsessed
with this reel. And everybody, a lot of people are saying, Oh, it's a plant.
You know, she was there. She's clearly this is all set up. But in my mind, I'm like, there's
no fucking way. But this lady looks so out of like, straight out of casting, straight
out of casting.
I still want closure with her. Like, I still want to understand why was she at my show?
If you go to my Instagram, Rachel Feinstein underscore to know what we're talking about. This lady is she's wearing some
kind of like a bowler hat and like a scarf. And she does look like that lady in Home Alone that's
always working with chickens or whatever. She looks like a lady that's organizing chickens.
Okay. So she is like in the front row and the entire show now is glaring just like,
like in the front row and the entire show now is glaring just like like trying to erase me like I'm a chalkboard, waving her hand over me like no, just actively furious and
I'm trying to do my act and I don't usually talk to that person.
Yeah, it was so distracting because she was right in the front row.
Also she had a lot of very vibrant colorful scarves on.
She did.
I was trying to understand why she would put on these lively, colorful scarves only
to be quaking with fury. Like she had just a marvelous floral scarf. And she was just
the angriest person I've ever seen. And then after the show, so a lot of firefighters come
to my shows because I'm doing, I do a lot of material about being married to a firefighter.
So it's a lot of like first responder family. So and then they bring me sometimes these it's very lovely.
These coins are called challenge coins.
They're things that they get for being brave.
And they give them to me with my filthy self.
So it's very it's very touching.
I absolutely don't deserve them just for going up and spewing general filth.
But this this lovely firefighter comes up afterwards
and he was giving me a challenge coin.
I was meeting his family and at the same time that lady's, I think, son comes up to say,
listen, and I was like, I need to know.
I'm like, hold on, wait, you hold for a second because I have to, I can't like, I have to
be with this man who's giving me a bravery coin that I definitely don't deserve.
But I had so many questions for that guy and he was like like I can explain and I still like I'm if you're listening
To this let's have tea. I need to know why your mother hates me. I'm very curious
This is definitely our target audience old angry lady flicking Rachel off and stand up. That's our target audience
To
You can tell it was the freest she's ever felt.
Like she's definitely going to put out that night
after flicking me off with both hands.
You are so right about this. I get
this, I get the feeling that this lady
had never stuck her middle finger out like
that in any kind of purposeful way
and she did it to you and she flew like
a little bird. It was like, she got
her wings and she went off and
then she, and then you tried to engage her saying listen I'm gonna have some coffee with
you later you and I are having coffee later and this lady that wasn't having
any of it she just kept staring it with you with this with this death stare
you're good at crowd work and let me ask you a question do you enjoy the crowd
work part of it or do you or is that when you sense that the audience is
getting a little spicy and you go in for the crowd work to get them, wrap them back in? Well, here's the thing with crowd work. So when I'm,
I've been doing more of it lately because either a I'm distracted by somebody that's getting very
active way that actively hates me and I can't really take that level of glaring as a little
bit kind of pulls my attention away. I have ADD, you know, so when somebody is glaring at you and
giving you two middle fingers,
you tend to get a bit distracted.
It's a little bit.
But, so it's either that they distract me
or I just did an hour worth of material in Netflix.
So now I'm going on the road after this,
so I'm writing a brand new hour.
So I am going into the crowd.
Because when you go out after you release a special,
you know, they don't want to see the special again.
No. So I'm going'm sometimes going into the crowd,
talking to the crowd, it'll make me think of something.
And so now I've been developing a new hour
that I'm gonna take on the road right afterwards.
So I'm kind of playing around more
than I usually do when I'm running a special
and I have all my weird scattered,
I probably looks a lot like her chicken coop nose.
But.
It's a pigeons, pigeons in a movie.
Is that, so it can be inspirational.
It's like, let's improv a little bit
and let's find a little nugget of gold
that maybe I can take in,
scream out into something into my set.
Is this. Exactly.
But I tend to try to like, even when I'm doing crowd work,
like I try to come from some place of empathy.
So I invited her scarf shopping.
I'm like, look, bitch, you want to go to Phyline's basement?
Let's squash our beef.
You know, she had all the Phyline pro scarves.
I'm like, let's go to Phyline's and let's work it out together.
I try and by the way, I love thrift shopping.
I wasn't lying.
What would have been better than a second video of me and her having a fun, loving thrifting day?
You know, I love that.
This is what I'm saying.
You need to engage her and the two of you become a duo.
Yes.
For part of your show, she comes up and just stares at you
and you have to be uncomfortable with her on stage.
She is the perfect straight person to your comedy duo.
I'm telling you right now,
when you are traveling all around,
I mean, we know it's a comics job, right?
You gotta get on a plane, you gotta go to the next place.
Do you enjoy that part of it?
Do you go out at night?
Like your Netflix is a joke festival right now.
Do you go out at night with other comics
and have some drinks and hang out?
Or are you, like, I'm so tired,
I just wanna go back to the hotel room.
Don't get in any trouble where I'm currently staying.
I know, I don't, now that I'm a mother, I don't,
like I, if I'm in a hotel and my daughter's not with me,
then I'm gonna sleep for maybe five hours.
Cause right now, you know, every day she's in our room,
in between us in a bed that's too small for us.
So we're just like, it's this weird game
of like we're switching beds,
but like running around like,
I'm always running into her room.
I'm sleeping there for four hours or I'm upstairs.
And like, she is, yeah, she's running the entire house.
My mother-in-law calls her Teter Montico.
Like she's like, she's a little terrorist.
But she's like, so we're always switching beds.
I'm always like hurling my body around to different bedrooms.
So when I'm in a hotel, a lot of times me and her husband,
my husband and me are with her together.
I may seem like I'm accompanying her on the road.
A lot of times she's with me.
Yeah.
But a lot of times she's playing the punchline.
Yeah, that was more than a 40 and slip.
But when I'm alone in a hotel, like, no,
I'm just like, I'm gonna get to sleep for a few minutes.
Yeah. Amen.
And it's not, I wish I could say that I just do
like a guided meditation and float off.
No, it's like I'm like drinking wine
and just like hurling anything into my face,
just to get like five hours of the worst sleep
where you just like like you still feel your
makeup while you're sleeping. Yeah. And a hotel I always go into a hotel with a big plan like I'm
like, Oh, I'll do this mask, you know, learn how to love myself. I never use any of the products
I bring. Yeah, yeah. It's always just me with all my lashes like on my each cheek. And I'm still
wearing my like Paula Poundstone blazer
from the night before.
It's always sad to look at what I thought
was gonna happen in a hotel.
I'm just like, oh, I'll get there
and I'll just stare into my own eyes
and learn how to accept myself finally,
heal my relationship with my mother,
but it doesn't work out that way.
My wife and I are the exact same way.
It's like we go on one big yearly trip every year.
And then sometimes it's international. We have some Spanish family in Spain. So we'll go to
Spain and let's go to Mallorca for a couple days. It'll be wonderful. We'll get away from the kids.
We'll make love. We'll shop. And you know what ends up happening? We eat, we fart, we go to sleep.
And I say, we wake up semi-refreshed, worrying about our children. You know what really happens
is we end up going out
to dinner and then we talk about our fucking children
the entire time that we're there.
It's like now-
I know our therapist told us to stop doing that,
but it's really hard not to do it, yeah.
It's really difficult.
You need to reconnect to each other.
And then I'm like, but look at her in this troll costume.
I'm like, what am I doing?
She's poppy.
Here's why I ask about the travel.
Tell me.
That's how I potty trained her, by the way.
She said she wanted to dress like a tree troll.
I tried every single book thing, Dr. Becky,
every different therapist on Instagram.
And the one thing that worked was that if she finally
stopped going in her pants, if I gave her a tree troll costume.
So she's like, I was like, what's it gonna take?
I finally just looked at her like,
I talked to her like an adult.
It was like I met her in an alley.
I'm like, what's it gonna take bitch to make this happen?
She's like, you really wanna know?
I'm like, you bet I do.
She's like, I wanna dress like a troll.
I'm like, why?
She's like a tree troll.
I'm like, but what sin it for you?
She's like, just do as I say.
I was like, fair enough.
She's like, go on Amazon, get me a tree troll costume.
And I swear to God, she was like, I'll stop doing it.
We knew, here's how we knew she was going in her pants
is that we, her aunt got her this car,
this white Mercedes to bring to the park, like kid car.
Which all we just get car jacked now,
whenever we go to the car,
it's actually people are chasing her in this Mercedes.
So like, so now the car car's just in our living room
and that's how we would know she was going in her pants
because she would go and hide in that car.
And Pete's like, she's in the Mercedes.
I'm like, god damn it.
Wow, yeah, good title tag.
I didn't know if I was allowed to say shit.
That was me trying to remember.
You can say whatever the fuck you wanna say.
Yeah, that's how we know she's sitting in her pants
and she's in her white toy Mercedes.
Until, and she's like, she's in the Mercedes. Mercedes until and I was she's like she's in the Mercedes I'm like no!
It's a white Mercedes!
She just goes there and she goes like this she puts her hands over the top of her head like I'm not gonna know that it's her.
I know it's you shitting your pants.
So then I finally got her this tree troll costume and she just stopped she's like this is what it'll take and that was it and then she just would go to bed every night dressed as a tree troll. She's always like a ninja or a tree troll.
Yeah, that's all I can do.
You know, when my first kid potty training came about, we knew it was kind of time.
You know, you get the signs.
Their poops are bigger than the diapers are, right?
It's like, it's time to get this kid potty trained.
And we went through all the books too.
And one of the ones we went was like, shit yourself.
It was some kind of like methodology called shit yourself
or let it fly or let it flow or whatever it was.
And the basic premise was get them naked
and plan on staying at the house for three days
and then just let them run around.
And when they're ready to go to the bathroom,
they'll either indicate that they have to go to the bathroom
or they'll just pee.
It'll be a lot of cleaning up,
but eventually they'll get to the toilet.
I'm here to tell you that shit yourself is full of shit
because that shit don't work.
It doesn't work.
I get it too, it doesn't work.
Where everybody was, I'm like,
everyone's naked for no reason.
This is getting really weird.
Now we're just angry and naked.
No, because there's a thing, they might do it then,
but then they go back to school and they shit their pants.
And again, I know every day, I got a note every day,
just like, there's always so many notes from a teacher.
It's like, you know, she went in her pants again.
I know you say you're potty training her.
I'm like, you.
And then there's always like they don't quite buy it.
I'm like, I'm trying, bitch.
I don't know what you want from me.
And then there's also the second note of every little thing that I've all my infractions
during the day.
She's like her water bottle wasn't filled to the top.
I mean, top her off, bitch.
Come on.
Yeah. These preschool teachers,
I think they get a little too
helicopter-y, cocky about everything.
And I understand, it's a hard job.
Just being at home with my children
for one hour by myself is nearly impossible.
I really wanna jump out of the window.
But the teachers, they do send these little
snarky little notes home, and you're like,
yeah, well, you fucking spend all this time with him and try to get him to do this.
I think part of it is like to be a good preschool teacher, you probably have to run such a tight
ship. Oh, yeah. Like so I so like, you probably have to run a military style, like Navy like ship
to keep these animals in line, you know, so I think that's true. I think that's probably part
of it. And I am like, like, just an active people just look at my bag and they're
like, oh, God, are you a woman?
You know, so when I went to her preschool, I left like a passport there and like a
card when I met everybody.
Yeah. And it's like it's by the way, it's like a it's a regular like government
New York City 3K.
You know, it's like it's not like they're like trying to kiss my ass.
They're like, bitch, get your passport and get my hair
When here's why I back to travel here's why I ask tell me about what is the if you
Back when you went out and you hung out with the other comics or just went out on the town
I'm sure there was at first at least a level of excitement about getting to travel around the country and seeing new places
Tell me about the most dangerous at first at least, a level of excitement about getting to travel around the country and seeing new places.
Tell me about the most dangerous situation
that you've been in while traveling.
You've got to have one of those stories.
Oh, a bunch of those stories.
I mean, which one should I pick?
There was one time, I would stay,
when I was opening for comics,
when I was still like a nanny and bartending,
I was staying in like $46 hotels.
Ooh, oh wow.
Like I was like, oh, look, this one,
I could get this for $46. Yeah. I could get a cocktail of diseases for $46 hotels. I was like, oh, look, this one, I could get this for $46.
I could get a cocktail of diseases for $46.
It comes with free syphilis.
Like, actively dangerous hotels.
But one of the times I know that somebody from the audience, one place I played, they
would announce on the website of the comedy club, we put our comics in, you know,
whatever, like Hinta.
Yeah, and I'm like, it's like, that's just when you haven't,
it's like, there's no way a woman would ever have done that.
I'm like, no!
You know, and they have some deal with the local place,
which means like, here's where you can murder Rachel.
You know, like, so.
That's true, I didn't think about that. They're like announcing where all of the comics are going to be.
Right.
And they have like a deal with them that here, if we give you the information so that you
can finish your whatever your criminal aims are in a more organized fashion, your stocking
will be less laborious for you.
So one time I was in, I was in, where was I? It was in California.
I can't remember. I don't want to say the name of the comedy club, but it was probably about an
hour or two out from LA. And I was, look, I'm still protecting them. Check me!
Yeah, that's true.
But I had a room with an outside entrance. And I like my friend another funny common Kelly Price she
was overspending the night and I she came and opened for me and she lives nearby but
she came into and she was like oh I was like you could just stay here at my hotel if you
want to like get away she has five kids so if you want to get away from your massive
family so she came over and all of a sudden there's just this like drunk guy from the
audience outside the door we we got out to go use the machine or something and I was from your massive family. So she came over and all of a sudden, there's just this like drunk guy from the audience
outside the door.
We got out to go use the machine or something.
And I was like, that's the guy we came back in
and we shut the door.
We were just like sitting there trying to plan.
And then she's like, just come to my house.
I think we just have to get out.
Yeah, he just went to my house.
So we called downstairs and he was just kind of sort of
swaying in the hallway as we like ran by
with our suitcase.
Oh my God.
And then I just went to go live with Kelly and her,
I think I slept in like her son's bunk bed that night.
Yeah.
It's like-
And I told the club the next day,
they just kind of watched my story.
Like it was an amusing night for us.
And I'm like, so again, the guy from the audience
is outside, they're like, oh, that's crazy.
I'm like, it was not a wacky, fun tale.
Right.
I was almost murdered.
They're like, oh, that's Ed.
He murders all of the comics that open up for the big names.
Don't worry about it.
He was just swaying and pointing,
and we were fleeing in the night.
Oh my god.
That's scary.
I think that's a double room.
Another time a guy came into my room that was in Vegas.
Oh, into?
Well, halfway in, because he opened up at the top.
That was in Vegas when I was staying at one of the towers for I think it was Harris casino. Yeah. So then he
follows me. So he worked for the casino. Oh, so he worked for the casinos. This
comedy club is no longer in this specific casino, but he worked for the
casino. So he was worked in maintenance and so my room key thing didn't work.
Yeah. So he was trying to fix not the key but the thing itself, the
apparatus on the door, whatever it's called. So he came over and I just
flown across country. You know the fatigue you have when you're just like
you're swollen, you're tired, all you want to do is just lay down and take an
uncomfortable nap.
Yeah.
Yeah. And I was just like resting on my suitcase, which I have a name for. That's not a good sign
if you have to have a name.
What is the name?
What is the name?
The Red Dragon. And so I was resting on the dragon and so waiting for him to fix the thing.
And we were just having a chat, you know,. I was talking about being on the road and he was asking me questions and da da da.
I was like, oh, what a lovely man.
And then the next night I was fast asleep and then my boyfriend at the time, thank God,
flew out and stayed with me the next day and finished out the week with me in Vegas, but
even working before.
I never had locked the top lock because I just wouldn't think about it. I was like, oh, it's like they have security.
It's a casino, whatever. Yeah. So he locked it. Yeah. Then and then in the middle of the
night in the middle of the night, three in the morning, he tries to open the door to
the room. Oh, my God. So so my boyfriend jumps up and then and then he's like, what are you
doing, dude? And he's like, Oh, sorry, I thought there was a call for this room.
It's like, if there was a call, wouldn't you have called the like, this doesn't make any
sense.
So then, so it's like, even if somebody called and said that their toilet was broken or whatever,
like you would knock first.
Did you report this to Harris?
Yes, I reported I kept explaining and talking about it.
And again, they looked at me with the same expression.
Like I was telling a crazy tell they're like, reported, I kept explaining and talking about it. And again, they looked at me with the same expression. Like I was telling a crazy tale.
They're like, well, I'm sure it was an accident.
I'm like, no, it's not an accident.
No.
He's like, that's Ed, he's from California.
Yeah, they were looking at me with a vibe of like,
don't flatter yourself, bitch.
He wasn't trying to kill you.
Like I was giving myself a compliment or something.
You know, like.
That's fucking insane.
That's fucking insane.
I tried and tried and talked to everybody at the hotel,
the comedy club.
I feel like a lot of times, like, I don't know,
they just, they didn't, I did report it.
I hope eventually I could finally got a woman
to give me the call logs of the other, of who called,
who did call then, you know?
And it wasn't even in the same tower.
She said she was gonna, she's like,
she was the one who just looked at me in the eyes,
like, I can't say everything right now,
but I'm gonna do something about this, you know?
So she, I think, was the one person
that was like gonna follow up on it
and make sure that he didn't kill others.
Anyway, Netflix, Netflix, May 21st, big guy.
Out now.
So tell us about the new special.
You're married to a firefighter, handsome looking dude with a big old mustache, or you
had a big old mustache.
You cut that mustache off?
Did he cut that mustache off?
He grows it back every few months to infuriate me.
He has some sort of Scotland Yard detective mustache.
Yeah.
And then he drinks, he eats sardines and he packs them and we go and trick him.
You cannot have sardines in a hotel room
and then get them caught in your mustache.
Like if you ever want to get laid again,
you need to get rid of the sardines.
My father-in-law does this,
but he's from Venezuela and he's Spanish
and so I think there's some cultural thing
about eating sardines straight out of a can,
but why sardines?
Not in a hotel room, there's a stench.
He's always like, omega-3s.
I'm like, you can't just state a vitamin. It's foul.
That's right.
By the way, you can go to CVS and buy
Omega-3 in a wonderful little capsule
that doesn't smell like sardines.
That's amazing.
So tell us, so the Netflix special I've read
has some comedy, some material around your husband
being married to a firefighter.
Yes, yeah, there's a lot about that because it's, it's, imagine if your husband was just,
I talk about this in a special, spending the night with like 12 guys for half your marriage.
It's just not a good idea. Like it's not, yeah, it's just, it's not like they, they undo everything
I've accomplished every time he has an over-the-counter fire house.
I can imagine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like that's where he got the sardine idea.
By the way, it's very interesting because a lot of, now that I've been doing all this
material about me married to a fireman, a lot of the fire wives I identify as a badge
banger, which I say in the special.
I love it.
I like that.
I'm keeping that.
Fire twat.
But a lot of the other fire spouses, they will explain to me why he does
things because like I'm new, they're looking at me like, like, I think they enjoy that
I talk about it, but they're like, let me tell you what's happening. Like, you know,
like, so they explain, they've explained a lot of things to me, like, oh, that's from
the firehouse, like, because he's just like, he'll get more and more conspiracy theories.
And then Dave explained to me that the firehouse is always coming back with like a pamphlet about
like a secret highway or something.
Don't read anything Vinnie hands you. I'm like, it's not it's fiction.
It's fiction. Yeah.
That must be tough, too. I didn't think about the minutia of that.
But firefighters really do sleep in the firehouse.
They have shifts like nurses, I would imagine, right? Like three days on, four days off, or whatever it is. And they're
super high adrenaline. They're always going into emergency situations. So, like, you know.
They get braver and dumber. That's what happens.
I bang my toe and I spend a half an hour complaining about it over dramatically, right? My
adrenaline level goes high and I'm complaining about it.
And my wife's always like,
you're just a fucking baby, you just stub your toe,
who cares?
It hurts so bad, you've never stubbed your toe like this.
But this guy is like running into fires,
grabbing people out of cars, I don't know,
swinging from trees, doing whatever he's doing.
And then he comes home and there's no adrenaline, right?
It must be like to get him, I don't know,
kind of worked up It must be like to get him. I don't know kind of
Must be
How did you guys meet they can't sit still that's the thing they're always like
He basically he got in our house like while we were in it. I almost lost my mind
He was like, I'm gonna insulate the. And I was too dumb to know what that meant. I was like, Oh, when Thursday, you know, and then my
friend was like, my aunt was like, she's a realtor. She's
like, he's gotting it. He's gotting the house. And I was
like, Oh, okay. Yeah.
Why? What? That's not like a Tuesday afternoon job. No, he
did it while we were in it. And then there was three firemen
doing everything. It was just like him and Dino like pulling off our walls. It's been a lot. We bought
this house with Bitcoin. They all love crypto. And there's always like four firemen building
my kitchen. I talk about this in the special too, but it's all true. Like I was like, do
we have a ghost? And my friend brought me over holy water. You know, like I'm not a Catholic.
I'm like, can you get your mitts on some holy water?
And then we finally figured out it was because the lights were flickering because a fireman was doing our electricity.
You bought the house with Bitcoin? Did I hear that right?
She bought the house with Bitcoin. It was a very old house,
but it's a five-bedroom house. Like it was an old big house
with multi-generational families lived there.
So I was like, oh, it must be, maybe it's haunted.
And then because the lights kept flickering
at weird times, like turning on and off.
And I was like, oh my God, you know.
No, it's because Dino doesn't know
the first thing about electricity.
Dino's in there licking the wires.
Like I'll stick these together and it'll be fine.
That's unbelievable. My friend's like
you need, she was like you need, I'm telling you right now we're going to do a seance and then the
other friend was like no it's because it's because Dino's doing the electric.
Where did you get holy water from? You can buy that on TV I hear from some preachers. Okay, so Netflix, she's,
Netflix has got the special coming out today, May 21st.
You can watch it.
It's on now on Netflix.
Are you also, when?
Tell us about the tour.
How many thousands of cities are you going to?
Where am I going to next?
I'll be in Toronto.
I'll be in Santa Cruz, in Honolulu, Portland, a bunch of different
cities.
And by the way, if you go to my website, rachel-feinstein.com, you can see the full schedule or rachelfeinstein
underscore and DM me things to do with toddlers because you guys are in your town because
I am going to bring my husband and daughter on a lot of it of this tour. So we're often out there. He likes it too. Like the specials call big guy because
he calls me big guy. And people are always like, is it hard for him that you talk about?
I'm like, he loves it. He's just call me big guy and then stand there and be like, you
know, it's not easy, but you're all with it. Please, you're like signing autographs. Yeah. He's like a martyr. He's acting like a martyr. Meanwhile, he's looking like a good
guy. He's such a martyr. He's like a hero and a martyr. You're right. Yeah. So, are
you coming to Atlanta? I think I probably am. Honestly, like I, it's funny because I'm
so disorganized. I'll be on like Instagram Live and I'm like, can somebody paste the
link? Where am I? Where am I, I rely on like people to follow me.
Like I have full relationships with them.
I'm like, is that I'm like, wait a second.
Is that like, I know their names.
I'm like, wait, is that ironically clear?
Is that like, you know, Ted likes hiking and like Ted likes hiking is always
like pasting my dates.
He's like, don't worry.
You're going gonna be in Toronto
in two weeks to get your passport.
You gotta make sure you've got an updated passport.
Like everybody's gonna keep some in mind.
Between Aunt Louis and Ted is hiking,
you're gonna be fine, everybody's taking care of you.
I know, I've got a team of people like cleaning
and like painting me and picking like tags off me.
They're like pulling the tag off my dress.
I was on stage the other day
and I had a forever 21 tag on the back.
No. Yeah, I always have tags on. I was on stage the other day and I had a forever 21 tag on the back. No.
Yeah, I always had tags on.
I did that one time. I went to a wedding and there was a tag literally sticking out of
my jacket the entire time until the brides, one of the bridesmaids came over and was like,
you look like a real shithead. I said, I'm going to return it tomorrow. What are you
doing? I can't afford this suit. What are you talking about? Rachel, you're a girl
after my own heart. I am just a mess.
Everything you say is totally relatable to me.
I also am just a hot mess.
I'm like just running around.
Anything I touch turns to shit, so I'm a terrible business person.
The only thing I've ever been good at is talking behind a microphone.
Me too.
I think I was always in detention.
I had a detention dance.
Me too.
Like this is what I can do.
I could talk some shit, but very little else.
You're so good. I've been watching you for years. By the way, Rachel has a ton of
material out there from Comedy Central. Her Instagram is hilarious. You must go watch
that reel that we were talking about earlier. Is Rachel Feinstein underscore? Is that correct?
Underscore. Yeah. You can see my last specials on YouTube now. All like Only Whores Were
Purple and stuff, but big guys on Netflix right now.
I'm so excited to see that. Yeah, we're excited too. Congratulations. We're gonna get off right

I love Riverbeat Memphis too. That's such a cute shirt. Thank you. That's her husband's festival.
Just put on a festival in Memphis. Really? Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. I do nothing.
So I just have a white shirt on.
I'm a blank slate.

Just pretend that I do something.
We can just video something on your shirt.
Thank you.

You look amazing. Aunt Lois, your niece is a mess.
Oh, you know what? I told her that last night and this morning,
which was the same time, by the way, last night and this morning.
We have to whip her into shape. Somebody help DM guy that Tom hiker guy is not doing a good job
Maybe she needs to hire you to be her age. Oh, no. No, she definitely needs to hire me
Yeah, you can negotiate with Ted Sarandos for her next Netflix special and make sure she stays on task
Oh, no, I told her I have to do the negotiating for she's not getting enough money for her genius
I that's the truth. I know how much that is not a joke but I agree with you. Yes, I agree with you. Comics
are underpaid. They do. It's a noble profession. This one especially. Look at that face. Do you
see that face? It's gorgeous. You two look a lot alike. You really do. Don't we? Yeah, you do.
We smile good. We love you both. Thanks, Anne-Lois. We love you too.

We got a two for there.
We did.
We got Rachel and Aunt Lois.
Made a special appearance.
I love it.
I love it.
Aunt Lois was not what I pictured, by the way.
When she said Aunt Lois, I imagined like an old lady with a cane.
No, Aunt Lois was hot.
Aunt Lois was a sexy old lady.
Hey, Aunt Lois, holler at your boy.
And they did look a lot alike, didn't they?
They had a lot of facial features that were very similar.
So Aunt Lois, very prominent real estate agent, I suppose, in California, is what I've heard
from Rachel.
And she's trying to keep Rachel in order.
And I understand Rachel at a real, like, animalistic level about how disorganized and ADHD she is,
because that's me.
I do leave my passport and my credit card everywhere.
If it wasn't for Astrid, Astrid said something the other day
that I thought was very interesting in 100% true.
She said, when I first met you,
you seemed like you had your shit together.
But I was wrong about that.
You seemed like you had it together.
You seemed like you had your shit together.
And I was like, yeah, that's just cause, you know,
when we're flying all over the world, you know,
chasing love, you don't get to see the day in, day out disaster
of a life that I have.
But I think probably pretty quickly
when she moved in with me nine years ago,
she was like, oh shit, I moved from Venezuela for this?
I got some work to do.
Yeah, she's got some work to do.
And now the work is just beginning, by the way.
So anyway.
Well at least you have her to balance it out. That's true. And Rachel has Aunt Lois. And what the work is just beginning, by the way. So anyway. Well, at least you have her to balance it out.
That's true. And Rachel has Aunt Lois. And what you may not have heard, because it just
depends on how we edit the show or whether or not it was recorded, what you may not have heard was
Aunt Lois goes, oh, they were so cute, weren't they?
Aunt Lois probably thinks we're a couple, a lot of people do.
Probably.
Probably. But anyway.
I know sometimes I have to clarify that when you're talking about the kids to people who
are interviewing.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it's not our kids.
It's not our kids.
Yeah, Chrissy always qualifies that.
She wants to be sure everybody knows that she's not dumb enough to have kids with Brian.
Astrid had to.
If she wanted to stay with a disaster of a man, she needed to have children to make
sure I wasn't going anywhere.
No, I love my children.
It's the best thing that ever happened to me.
I swear to God it is.
On a day-to-day basis, it seems like a nightmare and such a big chore, but big picture, I do
just love the shit out of those kids.
I really do.
I know you do.
Yeah.
They're so fucking adorable in their own,
all 13 to 40 of them in their own little way.
But Rachel was wonderful.
We're grateful for her time.
Obviously we're grateful for anybody who decides
to come on this to the program.
Yeah. But Rachel Feinstein underscore on Instagram
is at Rachel Feinstein underscore Rachel dash Feinstein
dot com for all of her tour dates
and all of the pertinent information. We'll put the links in the show notes so you don't
have to remember, but go see her. She comes into town. She is really fucking funny. I'm
telling you, if you like the brand of comedy that we produce here, which is cromity, if
you like cromity, you're going to love Rachel Feinstein, who does it so much better than we do.
And also the big news, of course, is that her Netflix special dropped today.
I know, I can't wait to see it.
Yeah, I'm going to watch it tonight.
Big man.
Big man, big guy.
Big guy, big guy.
Yeah.
Which is, you know, being married to a firefighter, she said it here, which was kind of ballsy,
kind of newsy.
I thought that, you know, he's emotionally damaged,
emotionally distant, damaged,
and you know, he's just a big boy, essentially,
is what he is, which I guess, but he calls her big dad.
I don't know why, but that's not for me to know.
I guess we'll figure that out in the next conversation.
Or in the special.
No, in the special.
And so much stuff I wanted to ask,
I want to ask about a relationship.
It's always something, you know.
I know.
We never get to it.
Hindsight 2020.
When you get three ADHD people on a Zoom call
or a fireside or whatever the fuck we're using,
when you get that many people in,
now we just, there's no chance of any direction or focus.
We don't wanna do a, you know,
these are the set questions.
No, no, no, no.
Every person that comes in.
And we want it to be very conversational
and let the road take us where it may.
Well, here's like pulling back the curtain a little bit.
You know, for years we never had guests
and really because we were scared.
Well, and yes, there was an element to that.
Scared to have three voices in the room
and how would we handle that?
What we would do. Plus Soule Plus the chords.
Chris Yeah, plus the chords.
Nicole Soule As an actual technical part of it.
Chris Plus the actual technology we just figured out yesterday. Meanwhile,
people have been doing this for 30 years. Mark Cuban was streaming in 1983 and Chrissy and I
just figured out, oh, an HDMI cord? You can buy those at Best Buy? No! Really? All this time. But the other
thing was, we wanted to get good at us talking in a room before we invited other people to
do it. I'm not sure we accomplished that.
No, we didn't, but we had to just jump in.
Yeah, at some point I just said, okay, let's just get guests on the show. And the first
couple of interviews, which I wish that you would not go back and listen to,
it's pretty blatantly obvious
that we have no fucking clue what we're doing.
Like with Vir Das, the poor bastard.
I mean, that poor bastard is probably like,
I am never coming on the show again, never.
And okay, I get it.
And-
Yeah, he was on a world tour, like across the entire world.
So I don't think he's, he's probably put us out of his mind.
Oh no, Beer forgot us the second we got off.
Remember he said he's got,
at the end of that conversation, after we get,
sometimes when we get off the interviews,
there's a little extra chatter that goes on.
Just, hey, thanks, we really appreciate it.
We'll come see you, you know, when you land,
we'll come see you, whatever.
Just niceties that are exchanged, pleasantries,
if you will.
Beer was like, I gotta go get a cup of coffee.
Yeah.
He was like, I'm out of here.
But Vir was wonderful with us,
but we were kind of amateurish about the whole thing.
We did this like, this is your life.
Tell us, yeah, so in 1992, blah, blah, blah, right?
And so I just threw that playbook out the window
because so many people do it.
It's called a press junket,
and there's preordained questions that you ask. Everybody's asking the same. Everybody's asking
the same thing. And Rachel will be doing a press junket probably for the next month. She'll be
doing it about her Netflix special. And there'll be some shows where she comes on for an hour and
sits and raps probably Conan O'Brien is next. But then there are a lot, especially with actors and
actresses around movies or television
shows, really what they do is they have 10 minutes with each person. It's scheduled back
to back to back to back. They might be like nine hours in a day and just go, go, go, go, go. Same
question over and over again. You see it when you watch some of these interviews like on
Entertainment Tonight and stuff like that. The actors and the actresses are just worn out.
They're like, I don't want to, really? We got to answer the same question over and over. But yes, you do. That's how it works. So, we just said, hey, give us a fighting chance.
Please don't put us in press junkets because we're not going to be good at that. This is not going
to be good. And so, when someone like Rachel comes on and she's so open and conversational,
and most of our guests have been. And it's just a real treat, I think, to sit down with somebody for an hour and have that kind of
conversation. So thank you for putting up with us if you're just tuning in. Listen, we're a hot mess
of a show and the guest days are at least one day when we know we can focus on one person, one thing
for just a couple minutes. What happens in that conversation? Who fucking knows? But at least we
have some focus.
I was talking to somebody last night
and they were like, what's it about?
Oh, that terrible question.
Friendship!
I said friendship, but then that doesn't really,
like they're like, what are you talking,
what did you talk about today?
And I'm like, Brian washing his butt.
Teaching his kids to watch his butt. And a game. And something else.
Oh, kind of.
Shit. Just shit.
Who knows what we're talking about.
That's why I say friendship, because it's easy.
It's friendship. What do you talk about with your friends?
Exactly.
My 401k.
My Morgan.
Oh, well, we don't have any of those things, so we just talk about other people's problems. My 401k, my Morgan.
Oh, well, we don't have any of those things, so we just talk about other people's problems.
It's so much fun.
I love it. I love you.
I love you too. I love you out there in the podcast universe. You're the bestest in the entire world.
And hey, thanks to everybody who's been writing in telling us they would love to come to the shows that we soon will announce.
Probably, at some point, we'll announce the dates and we're super excited about that.
So if you're in the Southeast, places like Charlotte, Nashville, Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa,
Miami, if you're in those places, those states and you want to come to the show, just give
us a text and let us know because we would love to know that anybody showing up to these
shows. I know, I was also telling somebody last night that we, you know, were thinking about doing
live shows.
But then it kind of got misconstrued, like we were going to do a live show on YouTube.
Oh, on YouTube.
You know, like a live show.
Yeah, we tried that.
No one showed up.
It didn't work.
I think on Fireside one time we had six people, but I believe it was just Tina and my wife
logged in on multiple devices.
I'm convinced.
Oh, fun times.
One day we'll release that Wally Green episode.
One day.
It's two parts.
It's two and a half hours.
It's crazy.
But that guy does have a crazy life story. All right. So that was a, this is your
life. That was a, this is your life. It certainly was. Every step of his life for three hours,
two parts, two different days. It's crazy. Anyway, maybe, maybe I'll put that behind
the paywall. Pay me a dollar 99. I'll let you listen to Wally green. uh, two, one, two, four, three, three, three TCB two, one, two, four,
three, three, three TCB, uh, text us, or you can call us and leave us a voicemail questions,
comments, concerns, content ideas, ask Brian's mom. I swear to God, she's going to be on
soon. She'd been dealing with some health issues, but she's going to be back soon. Ask
TCB for advice. You want to have some running commentary on the show, please text us. We
