00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:50.399 Because I feel like you've been traveling the globe for the last five or six years, and I can never really pinpoint where you're settling down. 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:51.680 Are you just a nomad? 00:05:51.920 --> 00:06:06.800 It's a question a lot of people ask, and I'm always like, I guess it makes sense to ask because it's an interesting facet of my life at the moment, but also kind of, you know, I find it's a when I answer it, people go, oh, like the the tone people say when I tell them currently what my status is. 00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:08.000 So I moved to Europe. 00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:12.160 This was like now three years ago, probably, and I loved living there. 00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:16.160 I was living in Amsterdam, but you know, my work is here, my friends are here for the most part. 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:27.120 So I came back, and the truth is, given what I do, I have work opportunities in New York, I have work opportunities in LA, and especially when I'm on tour, you know, I'm bouncing from city to city. 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:31.199 So the truth is this I don't necessarily want to move back to New York or LA. 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:39.360 I will go back to a city if work comes through for me in one of those places, then, you know, it opens me up to being able to like move where I need to move. 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.000 But at the moment I'm in Miami, which is where I was born and raised. 00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:45.279 So Miami is where, like you could call it my base at the moment. 00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:49.600 But yeah, I was in London last month for work, working with BBC for like three weeks. 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:55.120 So, you know, it allows me not to pay double rents, which for me is a cost-cutting measure. 00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:56.160 So I enjoy it. 00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:59.600 And you get a lot more family time because you're with your parents right now, right? 00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:02.399 Well, right now, but that's changing within probably two weeks. 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:02.639 Yeah. 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:06.480 I'm only like just because that sounds, and again, it's a loaded question. 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:08.720 And even to open with it, we'll unpack later. 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.759 But I'm here for like three days before going on tour. 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:14.399 So it's

my storage is here, you know, not in their house. 00:07:14.480 --> 00:07:17.279 Obviously, I have a separate unit, but I am staying, but it's not healthy for me. 00:07:17.439 --> 00:07:19.920 So that is shifting extremely soon. 00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:26.160 But listen, it's free to stay here for three, four days versus throwing money at some residents in for four days and then moving on. 00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:27.439 So, you know, it works for me. 00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:29.680 I love seeing all your your content with your mom. 00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:30.639 I think she's hilarious. 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:32.160 I love that you guys are so close. 00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:32.800 Thanks. 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:33.120 Yeah. 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:35.839 I want to go back to Michelle in the 90s. 00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:37.040 We're we're similar in age. 00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:38.240 We're just a couple years apart. 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:40.800 What were the 90s and early aughts? 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.199 Describe Michelle in those days. 00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.519 Oh, um, this is a very serious interview. 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:46.720 Describe Michelle in those days. 00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:51.519 Well, I was in high school and college, you know, I went to high school here in Miami, North Miami Beach. 00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:53.279 And um, I was funny. 00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:54.720 Like I just, what did I do? 00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:56.319 I was in speech and debate in high school. 00:07:56.399 --> 00:07:57.600 I love talking about forensics. 00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.600 I don't know if you did anything like that, Kyle, because I know you're also pursuing your own hosting dreams. 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:04.319 But uh yeah, it was a lot of fun. 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:05.279 I had great friends. 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:11.199 I'm actually seeing my one of my dearest friends from high school later today for lunch at Bell Harbor because we're ladies who lunch now. 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:15.040 So nice to have friends for, you know, 35, however many years. 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:16.399 But that was me. 00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:21.120 And then I went to college in New York and I was uh at Barnard College, highly controversial school. 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:23.360 It's uh in Morningside Heights. 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.600 And listen, I was just always this person. 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:28.560 Like I always loved to make friends talk to people. 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:33.519 You know, I mean, I was tall, I was loud, I love to sing, I love musical theater. 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:38.480 And so that is pretty much many of the facets of my personality kind of unpacked for you, I think. 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:42.159 Were you always told that you were so quick-witted and sharp? 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:43.519 Did you realize that in a young? 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.639 Because then you are like, Yes, I have always been told. 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:52.159 It kind of

intellectualizes it in a way that makes me uncomfortable, to be honest. 00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:54.480 But did you did you understand that that was a skill? 00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:56.000 Like it was a comedic skill. 00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:57.840 Yeah, I mean, I think, well, sure, right? 00:08:58.000 --> 00:09:00.159 Like if someone's a good singer, they know that they're a good singer. 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:01.600 Like it's something, it's not even a skill. 00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:02.879 It's like I enjoy doing it. 00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:04.960 I believe I was put here to do this, you know? 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:11.039 So I was just pursuing what made me happy, and that was like acting, singing, doing comedy, those kind of things. 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:20.720 But stand-up really only started, and I always give her credit for this because uh the one of the funniest people I've literally ever known in my life, Chelsea Peretti, was in my improv group at Barnard. 00:09:20.799 --> 00:09:22.480 I mean, it was uh called Six Milk. 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:28.399 So it was like the Columbia University group that they just took pity on us, women's college girls, and like allowed some of us in. 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.120 And Chelsea was really the reason why I started doing stand-up. 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:33.360 So she always gets my flowers for that. 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:38.480 Did it start as a like a random open mic or did you write a full five minutes to get on stage? 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:39.039 What do you mean? 00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:39.919 What was your first time? 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:40.639 I don't know. 00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:43.840 I mean, I I'm sure it was some shitty, I think it was like in a basement. 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:45.840 I feel like there was like a Vietnam vet there. 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:47.200 And I'm not saying that for laughs. 00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:52.960 Like genuinely, I remember there being like one guy who looked like Lieutenant Dan and like two other people, and I was like, let's do it, you know? 00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:54.320 And it was fun back then. 00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.679 I mean, I I don't know what the underground scene in New York is like these days. 00:09:57.759 --> 00:10:02.399 I'm sure it's probably 10 times better, but this was like back when UCB was a big thing, you know. 00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:06.399 So it was uh no, I I at the time used to like write my jokes out. 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:12.879 Now I much prefer to get up and have like ideas in mind, but like kind of uh perform on the fly. 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:13.840 For me, it's more enjoyable. 00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:15.200 Yeah, I was we mentioned it. 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:16.639 I was a big VH1 boy. 00:10:16.799 --> 00:10:17.440 Best week ever. 00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:19.440 You were the managing editor for several years. 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:25.360 What were uh, I guess if you could pinpoint some some really big highs and the the lows of

that era for you? 00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:26.639 I enjoyed it every week. 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:29.039 It was a different era having those like recap shows. 00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:29.919 Yeah, I don't know. 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:31.360 I don't want to like focus on the negative. 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.279 I feel like that was one of the best jobs I've ever had. 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:37.039 I was so lucky to work in media and I loved the people I worked with. 00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.519 I'm still very dear friends with many of them. 00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:45.919 I consider probably some of my closest friends in New York, including my friend Norman Baker, who I'm sure you know, who was Wendy's producer for many years. 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:48.000 I'm at Norman working at Best Week Ever. 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.480 It was like one of the best jobs I've ever had. 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:58.399 I mean, it was at a time when we were allowed, you know, the time of Perez Hilton, we were never vicious like Perez was, because I never found Perez funny. 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.039 I mean, we our goal was to be funny about celebrities. 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:07.679 So anyone who remembers the show Best Week Ever, you know, we were giving Britney Spears shit and like, you know, it was at the time she shaved her head. 00:11:07.759 --> 00:11:08.559 I mean, now I cry. 00:11:08.639 --> 00:11:09.279 I love Britney. 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:10.639 I'm the number one Britney fan. 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:14.080 So I look back thinking, like, wow, we were so harsh. 00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:28.159 But I actually kind of miss those days because I do think we held celebrities accountable in a different way than we do today, where today it seems like there's like no humor revolving around celebrities, which I think is really dangerous because we give them a little bit too much power, in my opinion. 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:28.720 I agree. 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:32.399 I've spoken with some comedians who were regulars on like the Chelsea Lately show. 00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:40.159 And they were like, it was such a different time, and the the comedy was maybe considered mean uh nowadays, but like no one had a problem with it back then. 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:43.600 So it's weird to backtrack 20 years later and be like, oh, that was unacceptable. 00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:45.600 It was it was a different time, but I I enjoyed it. 00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:47.200 Yeah, that's everything in comedy, right? 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:52.159 Like you can rewind the clocks and people are pissed, and it's like sometimes they're right to be, you know. 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:55.919 But again, we live in like current times, so I don't know how to put it. 00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:56.320 But yes. 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.879 I mean, luckily none of those archives exist, thank God. 00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:00.000 So not that we did anything. 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:01.759 Again, it was like for a network station. 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:05.360 So we were not Perez, but we were definitely giving them shit in a way. 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:12.480 But I gotta say, like it was, I couldn't imagine a better job to like sharpen your comedic skills than being able to like be funny every day and write about these people, you know? 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:13.200 I agree, yeah. 00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:13.840 I enjoyed it. 00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:22.960 And then throughout it all, were you the comedian that would like at night, after your day job, go and work your stand-up sets in different clubs and show up at the comedy cellar and stuff like that? 00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:33.519 No, I mean, first of all, I should add that before I worked at and I want to just apologize in advance because this feels like James Liptany, and I I can tell that I'm not being funny on this podcast because it's a little AE biography. 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.759 So I'm just letting everyone know I am a funny person. 00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:36.960 No, you're hilarious. 00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:38.960 It's making me very serious. 00:12:39.200 --> 00:12:46.879 It's making me very serious because I'm like unpacking my career in a way that feels like a little self-serious, and I want people to know that's like so not who I am at all. 00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:51.519 So please understand I am I'm just being a guest and I'm answering questions. 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:55.360 But anyway, um, I worked as a legal secretary for I want to keep it light and fun. 00:12:55.440 --> 00:13:02.639 You know, I worked at as a legal secretary for many years after graduating for college, and that job really allowed me to do stand-up because I was done at 5 p.m. 00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:03.440 every single day. 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:04.480 So 5 p.m. 00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:09.919 I would leave and I never did the clubs, which I was always more like the alt scene of comedy. 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:13.279 I mean, there was a place at the time called Rafifi, I think on 11th Street. 00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:23.600 And so that really allowed me, but I never did, to be honest, I regret it a little bit not being more in like the comedy seller side of stand-up because I think that it's how do I put this? 00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:36.960 Like there's a certain level of skill you get when you go to stand-up comedy clubs where the audiences are like less supportive, I would say, than they're at, let's say at a Joe's pub, which is where I normally perform, where it's like warm and inviting, you know. 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:38.159 I don't know how to put it. 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:46.080 I was just always kind of doing the more storytelling side of stand-up than like male-dominated side of stand-up. 00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.559 Because those clubs for me were very male. 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:57.919 And, you know, if you weren't like some skinny girl with, I'm not trying to denigrate any woman who performs there because they're

better than me, okay, but I'm just saying that it was oftentimes hard. 00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:05.120 And I had this happen to me early in my career where if, you know, sexually you didn't satisfy someone, you were not going to move up in those ranks. 00:14:05.200 --> 00:14:06.639 I learned that kind of early on. 00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:10.559 And that just was not I I if you saw these men, you would get it. 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:12.559 Like it's just it was not worth it to me. 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:14.240 Too many fedoras, you know what I mean? 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.240 I had a fedora-free policy in my apartment. 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.080 So that's where we were at, you know, and I never, I never did the comedy cellar in my life. 00:14:20.159 --> 00:14:21.279 I would love to, by the way. 00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:24.559 It's uh I one of my dreams actually to perform there, honestly. 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:35.840 Well, it reminds me, I interviewed Kathy Griffin a couple weeks ago, and she said like 20 years ago, she played her first show in DC, and it was like one of those basement, the DC improv shows, and she did the two shows a night, so like five shows that week. 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:38.320 And she was like, That I realized I didn't like clubs. 00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:39.600 It was very male-dominated. 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:41.200 It was hard to like find your footing. 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:45.279 And she was like, I prefer a theater, something a little more her people. 00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:49.120 And that was actually one of my next questions because you you've always been like that. 00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:50.480 You like your residencies. 00:14:50.639 --> 00:14:54.720 Even when you came to DC, you played the Birchmere, not like the improv or one of the comedy clubs. 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:57.279 Like such a great dinner theater type of place. 00:14:57.440 --> 00:15:00.639 So you've always that's always been your scene, and not doing five shows in a weekend. 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:01.519 Definitely not. 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:07.440 And and again, I envy comics who do do that because I do think that it is, it creates a different performer. 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:09.279 Like you're a little bit more maybe defensive. 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:14.159 You get heckled more often, you know, those kind of things, which do make you, I think, a more confident performer. 00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:15.600 But by the way, love the Birchmere. 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:16.720 Were you at that show, Kyle? 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:17.360 I was. 00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:19.039 Kyle is a real fan. 00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:20.399 He's passed my test. 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:24.480 You shouted out all the gleep heads. 00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:25.440 I did. 00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:25.919 I did. 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:26.720 Remember how many? 00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:30.399 Um, weren't there a lot of like uh not endometriosists? 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:30.879 What is the word? 00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:31.600 Etymologist? 00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:33.919 Like there was some, there was some kind of scientist. 00:15:34.639 --> 00:15:36.879 Like high-end, really smart people in that audience. 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:38.000 Disease specialists. 00:15:38.080 --> 00:15:40.159 It was like all the DC disease specialists were there. 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:41.679 I was like, is there something I should know? 00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:53.840 But I also think, and Kathy is a great example of this, that when it comes to our audiences, which are mostly women and gay people, it just feels like warmer when you go into a place like the Birchmere or a Joe's pub. 00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.639 It's a little bit pay perhaps more high-end, a little more elegant. 00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:58.240 You know, I wear gowns in my show. 00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:00.720 I just can't picture myself in a gown at the comedy cellar. 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.840 I mean, maybe it's been done, but it just doesn't gel for me, you know? 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:05.600 So that's that's where it falls. 00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:07.840 But yeah, it's um something I do wish I had done. 00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:08.960 Thank you for sharing that. 00:16:09.039 --> 00:16:11.919 And thank you for for dealing with my highs and lows. 00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:13.200 I say we go deep and shallow. 00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:20.639 So I am a journalist, so I was like, I didn't want to catch you off guard at 10 in the morning with like and came in so hot. 00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:22.720 I'm like, okay, you know, my parents are listening to every word here. 00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:24.559 So it's they're literally back there. 00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:29.120 No, and of course I know you're the most hilarious, but I I get serious sometimes too. 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:29.919 But we'll lighten up. 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:30.159 Thank you. 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:31.360 No, and I love being serious. 00:16:31.440 --> 00:16:36.240 I just want people to know, like opening with that, like it's, you know, this is I I don't take myself that seriously. 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:44.639 Like it's kind of humiliating having to unpack your comedy career when it's like I there's so many more great things to do in my life. 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:46.320 Like I look back, I'm very lucky. 00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:47.279 Don't mistake me. 00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:54.080 I'm just saying, like, I, you know, the reverence uh is hard for me to kind of sign on to because it feels a little bit like scary to do that. 00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:54.960 But yes, anyway. 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:56.320 Well, I revere you. 00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:58.080 Uh and I love you for it, Kyla. 00:16:58.240 --> 00:16:58.799 It's why I'm here. 00:16:58.960 --> 00:17:00.320 Let's get to your new tour. 00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:01.039 Yes. 00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:02.639 Uh, I'm really excited about it. 00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:04.000 In big letters tour. 00:17:04.160

00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:59.759 I think that there, and I'm gonna actually this is gonna sound terrible, but I'm gonna bring the bullying conversation kind of back into this because I think that when you're a child who has overcome things or were not popular at a certain time in your life, it creates sensitivities and humor that I don't think people who did not expect. 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:01.759 Experience that can relate to. 00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:05.279 And for me, I was tall, I was loud, awkward. 00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:06.960 I changed schools in the fifth grade. 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:09.039 I had a lot going against me, cut my hair short. 00:22:09.119 --> 00:22:10.079 We talk about that in the show. 00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:10.799 Shorter than this. 00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:11.920 This is like Rapunzel. 00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:12.480 You should see. 00:22:12.640 --> 00:22:13.519 Don't ask. 00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:15.440 I mean, don't even ask. 00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:17.519 I look like Regis Vilman, okay, in the sixth grade. 00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:19.920 And I'm like, it's weird that people didn't like me. 00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:31.279 But I do think that that kindness, I think it is actually like an inherent kindness and dare I say people-pleasing thing too, in a way that really it's the warmth that I just love. 00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:33.519 And I will say that I am so lucky. 00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:37.920 And I literally thank, I'm not religious, but I will sound so religious. 00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:49.920 I like thank God that these are my fans and that this is what I've been given in my life because and it goes not just gay men, the entire LGBTQIA plus community and and the women who also are fans, they bring their husbands. 00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:51.680 And I will say the husbands enjoy the show. 00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:53.359 The straight husbands will enjoy it. 00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:55.359 They're just not, they don't know about me. 00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:57.039 Like they're not exposed to me in any way. 00:22:57.119 --> 00:22:58.720 So they're sort of like on the outs. 00:22:58.799 --> 00:22:59.920 But I'm very lucky. 00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:02.319 And I um I don't know what else to say about it. 00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:03.680 It's just they're the funniest people. 00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:06.319 Like you want to know who's funny and look at who gay men find funny. 00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:07.839 That's gonna be your tell. 00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:10.000 And so it's uh makes me feel good. 00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:10.319 Yeah. 00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:13.119 How often are you generating new material? 00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:22.240 Are you a big journaler, writer, keeping stuff on your notes app, or is it it's a lot of it is off the cuff, obviously maybe bullet points, but are you not a long form writer in that sense? 00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:24.480 No, Kyle, I'm sure not. 00:23:24.720 --> 00:23:31.200 Um, as you know, I record four to five episodes of my podcast a week, which is and edit them and publish them. 00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:36.640 Like I'm essentially working in a me sweatshop, like a sweatshop that I made for myself about me. 00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:38.240 It's kind of like hell. 00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:58.559 So the amount of material and content that I have to spew on my podcast kind of undercuts my stand-up a little bit because sometimes there are stories that I just know will be fucking great on stage, and I have to like bite my fist to not tell it on my podcast and hold it for stage because one thing with me is that once I tell it on the podcast, it's done. 00:23:58.720 --> 00:24:00.400 I I have to have new stuff. 00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:04.400 I really don't like retelling stories unless they're your true classics. 00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:05.839 Like I don't

we're gonna talk about that tomorrow. 00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:25.119 It's because it that yes. 00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:34.719 I mean, listen, for example, I had something happen to me just this morning, and I already recorded today's episode, but I know that come Thursday I'm gonna be I'm hosting a gala in Bermuda this weekend, please. 00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:38.159 And so I'll be live from Bermuda this week. 00:43:38.480 --> 00:43:43.840 And I have a very funny story, actually TJ Maxx related, that will be opening my show. 00:43:44.000 --> 00:43:45.519 But you know, my show is very Seinfeld. 00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:50.880 It's like things that happen to me during the day, uh, human interactions, the way other people behave. 00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:52.079 I'm fascinated by that. 00:43:52.239 --> 00:43:54.559 So I'd say like 30% of the show is that. 00:43:54.639 --> 00:43:59.760 Then we talk Bravo, obviously, and my co hosts every day bring some funny things, but it's you literally never know. 00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:01.039 Know what you're gonna get with my show. 00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:07.440 Yeah, and a lot of it is about your interactions with people because you are would you call yourself, I guess, a people person or extrovert? 00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:10.800 Because you love talking to people in line and just getting to know them and pick their brain. 00:44:11.119 --> 00:44:11.920 Heaven to me. 00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:13.119 Heaven to me. 00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:16.320 Listen, I don't even know where to begin. 00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:17.760 I truly love interaction. 00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:18.960 I love interacting with people. 00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:28.159 I'm an extrovert introvert, which is, and I'll be honest, actually, going back to your first question about being with my parents, not having a space of my own at the moment is slowly killing me. 00:44:28.239 --> 00:44:34.400 Like I need to be able to come home, be by myself, you know, watch my game shows and like shut down a little bit. 00:44:34.639 --> 00:44:37.119 But I really love, I like making people smile. 00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:38.239 I mean, I'm not coming through. 00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:43.440 I always say with the Karen haircut, I call it the reverse Karen because I'm like, call the manager, I'm gonna compliment you. 00:44:43.599 --> 00:44:45.679 You know, that's like that's my haircut. 00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:50.480 But um, I I enjoy making people's day and like bringing a little sunshine. 00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:51.599 I love complimenting people. 00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:53.039 I know that's really needy too. 00:44:53.119 --> 00:44:56.079 I know that that like I get more out of it than they do in a way. 00:44:56.239 --> 00:45:00.159 But for example, if I see people working hard at their job, any job, I acknowledge it. 00:45:00.239 --> 00:45:02.079 I go, I just I see you and just thank you. 00:45:02.159 --> 00:45:03.920 Cause I don't think a lot of people stop to do that. 00:45:04.000 --> 00:45:09.119 And there are a lot of people working for very little money who are working their fucking asses off, pardon my language. 00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:10.320 And so I like to acknowledge that. 00:45:10.400 --> 00:45:12.320 But maybe that makes me some sort of savior complex. 00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:13.199 I don't know what I'm saying. 00:45:13.360 --> 00:45:16.400 I just think be nice to everyone, be kind, and hope to get it in return. 00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:17.360 Beautifully said. 00:45:17.519 --> 00:45:17.840 Thanks. 00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:22.239 Now, I feel like you should have several comedy specials because you're always generating material. 00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:25.199 Are you gonna record this new hour? 00:45:25.360 --> 00:45:29.119 Like you should be on streaming and have five under your belt by now. 00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:33.199 Kyle, you're my only friend and congratulations, you're my new agent. 00:45:33.519 --> 00:45:35.280 I was waiting to tell you that. 00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:39.679 I did actually record my shows in LA and thank God they were very funny. 00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:44.320 I did wear a gown from um the Gwyneth Paltrow goop collection. 00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:45.840 That is not, I wish I were kidding. 00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:46.960 That is a true statement. 00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:50.320 And I only noticed later on that it had a weird fold by the vagina. 00:45:50.559 --> 00:45:54.000 So I'm parsing through how I'm gonna work around the fold. 00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:56.320 It's not actually of my body part. 00:45:56.400 --> 00:45:58.639 It's like the way it pleats looks like that. 00:45:58.719 --> 00:46:00.800 And I'm like, but that's me. 00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:02.480 Like I'm never gonna have something go perfectly. 00:46:02.559 --> 00:46:04.480 Something will always go wrong, something will be off. 00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:08.880 So uh we will definitely be releasing clips from that and hopefully turning that into something more. 00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:10.320 But but thank you for saying that. 00:46:10.559 --> 00:46:11.199 Can I be honest? 00:46:11.360 --> 00:46:29.679 I think that a lot of streamers are not comfortable with a comedian like myself when so much of it, unless you're like Matt Reif, I hate to invoke his name here, but I don't think they're comfortable, especially with a woman, of giving them the reins of freedom to be off the cuff and not know kind of word for word what's gonna happen. 00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:35.440 Like have that safety net of material is that's maybe my own opinion, but from just my experiences. 00:46:35.519 --> 00:46:35.760 But yeah. 00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:36.079 Yeah. 00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:39.519 Well, I've had well, Kathy and Phoebe Robinson and Heather Shaw. 00:46:39.599 --> 00:46:43.360 Like a lot of comedians now are just putting their stuff on YouTube, their specials on YouTube. 00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:46.480 It seems to be the way to go to own it and not have to deal with all the

network notes. 00:46:46.559 --> 00:46:52.559 So once this tour is done, that's something we're gonna look into just because I don't want to like waste it just yet. 00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:58.480 I want people to get it live, obviously, but it's something we're looking into, not to say it's for sure gonna happen, so still come to see the show live. 00:46:58.880 --> 00:46:59.519 Of course. 00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:02.559 And over the years, you've also mentioned a lot. 00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:04.559 Jokingly, you're like, I'm saving it for the memoir. 00:47:04.639 --> 00:47:05.679 I'm saving it for the book. 00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:07.039 Is that coming? 00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:08.639 Do you think you have a memoir in you? 00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:09.599 Because we're waiting. 00:47:09.920 --> 00:47:14.800 I have so many memoirs in me, Kyle, that I'm busting at the damn seams. 00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:21.199 Here's here's like the sad truth about I okay, there is a very, I'm not gonna name him, but there's a very, very lovely guy. 00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:25.199 I hope he hears this, who reaches out to me every three months, being like, please write your book. 00:47:25.280 --> 00:47:28.000 And he works in this world and he's like, please write it, please write it. 00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:32.559 And I'm like, listen, part of my charm is my severe mental illness. 00:47:32.639 --> 00:47:33.599 I mean, that's just real. 00:47:33.679 --> 00:47:35.920 I'm I'm not medicated, I'm not an Adderall. 00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:39.519 I had Kelty Knight who just released a great book called The Fuck Them Theory. 00:47:39.599 --> 00:47:40.480 Let's plug Kelty. 00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:47.360 Kelty did my show, and she's just started Adderall, she's a little younger than I am, and was like, it changed my life. 00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:48.480 It's why I wrote the book. 00:47:48.639 --> 00:47:51.679 And can I be honest, I cannot find a quack doctor to give it to me. 00:47:51.760 --> 00:47:52.239 And I need it. 00:47:52.320 --> 00:47:57.360 Like I'm textbook ADHD from a young age, you know, like it is what it is. 00:47:57.440 --> 00:48:00.000 It's part of, I think, why my comedy operates the way it does. 00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:01.840 But I would like to write my book one day, Kyle. 00:48:01.920 --> 00:48:07.679 So if any psychiatrists are listening, any quack doctors, reach out to me because I need that script. 00:48:09.039 --> 00:48:10.400 I listened to that episode. 00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:12.480 It was you're like asking questions. 00:48:12.559 --> 00:48:13.280 That was very funny. 00:48:13.519 --> 00:48:15.280 And she got diagnosed late, yeah. 00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:16.400 She got exactly. 00:48:16.480 --> 00:48:27.039 But a lot of women are not diagnosed young because we I hate to say it, but I mean I think that a lot of women who have this are smarter or we're just, you know, the brain is working completely differently than like a normal human brain. 00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:31.599 And so we're like gifted kids and put in these smart classes and everything else. 00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:36.079 But at this age, especially combined with other hormonal things, it's not a good combination. 00:48:36.239 --> 00:48:37.920 And it can be, I think, quite overwhelming. 00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:40.079 So yes, I'm working on it, Kyle, but thank you. 00:48:40.239 --> 00:48:41.920 I'll ask you for a quote for the book cover. 00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:42.559 So get ready. 00:48:42.800 --> 00:48:43.199 I'll do it. 00:48:43.280 --> 00:48:43.440 Yeah. 00:48:43.599 --> 00:48:45.199 She dedicated her book to Adderall. 00:48:45.679 --> 00:48:47.760 I remember She's hilarious. 00:48:47.840 --> 00:48:48.480 I love Kalty. 00:48:48.559 --> 00:48:48.719 Yeah. 00:48:48.880 --> 00:48:49.840 Okay, a couple more things. 00:48:50.000 --> 00:49:01.119 Now I just want to get into every episode I ask all my guests the tangle, what they're currently tangled in, that they're loving, immersing themselves in, binge watching, reading, and then something annoying that they're working to get untangled from. 00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:01.679 Ooh. 00:49:01.840 --> 00:49:03.039 Oh, this is too deep for me. 00:49:03.119 --> 00:49:03.519 Okay, wait. 00:49:03.599 --> 00:49:06.320 And this is pop culture or this is anything in life. 00:49:06.559 --> 00:49:07.280 Anything in life. 00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:09.199 Well, obviously, you've touched on a lot of it. 00:49:09.280 --> 00:49:12.239 You need to like move out of your parents' place and get your own space. 00:49:12.559 --> 00:49:13.440 That's past tangling. 00:49:13.519 --> 00:49:14.400 That's I don't even know the words. 00:49:14.480 --> 00:49:15.840 Someone get Roger out here. 00:49:16.000

do watch this British game show every single day. 00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:30.320 They did bring it to the US, and actually, our friend from The View, who's lovely, Sarah Haynes, hosted it. 00:49:30.480

00:49:38.320 I can't go a day without watching that show. 00:49:38.400 --> 00:49:42.000 I actually, it's like how Rain Man had to watch Night Court or People's Court, whatever it was. 00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:43.360 You know how he was like People's Court. 00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:48.239 If I don't see The Chase, if there's not a new episode, my skin, I'm like, I can't breathe. 00:49:48.400 -->
