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,
Starting point is 00:02:15 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.
Starting point is 00:02:39 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.
Starting point is 00:03:08 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. Heyo. Heyo.
Starting point is 00:03:24 Heyo. Oh yeah, cancer kittens, welcome back to the Commercial Break. I'm Brian Green. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
Starting point is 00:03:30 No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
Starting point is 00:03:37 No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
Starting point is 00:03:44 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?
Starting point is 00:03:52 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.
Starting point is 00:04:09 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
Starting point is 00:04:25 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
Starting point is 00:05:00 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.
Starting point is 00:05:17 I did. You did? I washed everywhere today. Okay. Yup. And then another thing. Everywhere. Oh.
Starting point is 00:05:24 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.
Starting point is 00:05:38 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.
Starting point is 00:06:03 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.
Starting point is 00:06:17 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
Starting point is 00:06:54 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
Starting point is 00:07:29 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.
Starting point is 00:07:53 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.
Starting point is 00:08:21 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-
Starting point is 00:08:47 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.
Starting point is 00:09:21 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
Starting point is 00:10:03 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
Starting point is 00:10:40 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.
Starting point is 00:11:13 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,
Starting point is 00:11:45 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.
Starting point is 00:11:57 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.
Starting point is 00:12:17 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.
Starting point is 00:12:39 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
Starting point is 00:12:57 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.
Starting point is 00:13:23 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
Starting point is 00:13:58 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.
Starting point is 00:14:28 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.
Starting point is 00:14:43 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.
Starting point is 00:15:09 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.
Starting point is 00:15:19 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!
Starting point is 00:15:46 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.

Starting point is 00:16:30 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.
Starting point is 00:16:47 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.
Starting point is 00:17:04 If you haven't given therapy a try, or it's been a while since you've been to therapy I'd like to recommend BetterHelp.

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.
Starting point is 00:20:03 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?
Starting point is 00:20:18 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
Starting point is 00:20:52 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
Starting point is 00:21:27 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.
Starting point is 00:21:49 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.
Starting point is 00:22:03 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,
Starting point is 00:22:16 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.
Starting point is 00:22:43 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.
Starting point is 00:22:56 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
Starting point is 00:23:20 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.
Starting point is 00:23:35 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
Starting point is 00:23:51 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.
Starting point is 00:24:26 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
Starting point is 00:24:43 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
Starting point is 00:25:29 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.
Starting point is 00:25:50 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
Starting point is 00:26:14 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,
Starting point is 00:26:33 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
Starting point is 00:26:52 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
Starting point is 00:27:08 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.
Starting point is 00:27:38 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.
Starting point is 00:28:20 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.
Starting point is 00:28:49 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.
Starting point is 00:29:12 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
Starting point is 00:29:48 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
Starting point is 00:30:04 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
Starting point is 00:30:39 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.
Starting point is 00:30:57 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
Starting point is 00:31:17 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
Starting point is 00:31:33 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.
Starting point is 00:31:49 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.
Starting point is 00:32:11 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.
Starting point is 00:32:32 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.
Starting point is 00:32:48 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,
Starting point is 00:33:08 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,
Starting point is 00:33:32 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.
Starting point is 00:33:51 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
Starting point is 00:34:10 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
Starting point is 00:34:34 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.
Starting point is 00:34:59 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.
Starting point is 00:35:15 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.
Starting point is 00:35:30 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.
Starting point is 00:35:52 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.
Starting point is 00:36:03 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,
Starting point is 00:36:20 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.
Starting point is 00:36:36 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.
Starting point is 00:36:57 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.
Starting point is 00:37:24 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.
Starting point is 00:37:42 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.
Starting point is 00:37:52 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.
Starting point is 00:38:10 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.
Starting point is 00:38:23 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.
Starting point is 00:38:39 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?
Starting point is 00:39:09 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
Starting point is 00:39:38 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,
Starting point is 00:39:55 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.
Starting point is 00:40:11 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,
Starting point is 00:40:38 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.
Starting point is 00:41:06 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
Starting point is 00:41:44 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.
Starting point is 00:41:54 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.
Starting point is 00:42:08 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.
Starting point is 00:42:21 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.
Starting point is 00:42:33 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.
Starting point is 00:43:05 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.
Starting point is 00:43:32 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.
Starting point is 00:44:03 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,
Starting point is 00:44:36 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.
Starting point is 00:44:50 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.
Starting point is 00:45:03 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.
Starting point is 00:45:21 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.
Starting point is 00:45:42 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.
Starting point is 00:45:58 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
Starting point is 00:46:14 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
Starting point is 00:46:29 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.
Starting point is 00:46:54 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
Starting point is 00:47:17 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,
Starting point is 00:47:34 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.
Starting point is 00:48:03 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?
Starting point is 00:48:30 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
Starting point is 00:48:56 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
Starting point is 00:49:23 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,
Starting point is 00:50:02 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.
Starting point is 00:50:18 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.
Starting point is 00:50:50 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.

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
Starting point is 00:51:59 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.
Starting point is 00:52:23 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
Starting point is 00:52:36 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,
Starting point is 00:52:55 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.
Starting point is 00:53:17 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

Starting point is 00:55:33 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.

Starting point is 00:56:51 That's all for now. Let's listen to our sponsors and get back to the show. Imagine yourself in Ottawa, surrounded by thousands of vibrant tulips. And discovering your new favorite micro-brew. Before cycling along scenic bike paths. Imagine yourself in Ottawa, surrounded by thousands of vibrant tulips, and discovering your new favorite micro-brew before cycling along scenic bike paths and wandering through a museum in awe. Adventure awaits in Ottawa from O to A. Plan your getaway at OttawaTourism.ca. We got a two for there.
Starting point is 00:57:23 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.
Starting point is 00:57:36 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,
Starting point is 00:58:00 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.
Starting point is 00:58:17 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?
Starting point is 00:58:37 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?
Starting point is 00:58:58 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.
Starting point is 00:59:12 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.
Starting point is 00:59:35 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.
Starting point is 00:59:50 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
Starting point is 01:00:13 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.
Starting point is 01:00:36 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.
Starting point is 01:00:55 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.
Starting point is 01:01:06 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.
Starting point is 01:01:23 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
Starting point is 01:01:43 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
Starting point is 01:02:15 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,
Starting point is 01:02:35 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,
Starting point is 01:02:53 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.
Starting point is 01:03:05 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.
Starting point is 01:03:22 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
Starting point is 01:03:53 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
Starting point is 01:04:40 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,
Starting point is 01:04:58 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?
Starting point is 01:05:18 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.
Starting point is 01:05:39 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.
Starting point is 01:06:15 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.
Starting point is 01:06:31 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,
Starting point is 01:06:53 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.
