Chelsea Handler

Yeah, I don't know.

I think it's like a rush of, it's like a wave, if you will, no pun intended, of a wave of squirters talking about squirting and women, you know, the more, listen, we're all talking about the same stuff.

When you break down standup comedy, you're talking about your personal life, your relationships, your relationship to drugs and alcohol, you know, it's all the same pitter patter of ideas.

And it's just like, how does your execution vary?

So I guess if you, you know, the more women that are up talking about this,

the more accepted it becomes by nature.

And there are more female comics than there've ever been, but I don't know when it started.

I mean, Joan certainly paved the way for all of us.

I can say that.

I didn't really realize that until she was dead.

You know, like I was like, no, I paved the way for myself.

I had an arrogance about my own success.

Like Joan Rivers wasn't somebody I had looked up to.

And then, you know, when I did my homework and grew up a little bit, I realized how

how, what she went through and like, you know, going to the comedy clubs, like women didn't even get on stage without being like, you know, they would get on stage as characters like housekeepers or, you know, maids or, or like, you know, just like, it was kind of a character.

Right.

And Joan was like being herself and dressing up and going to these gross comedy clubs.

And we, we all know how gross comedy clubs are.

They are.

That's where all disease begins.
