It's so accurate. It's so scathingly accurate. I wish I could just get in a room with those writers and be like, but how do you know this? She, of course, reminds me of Joan Rivers. But I remember watching I watched the whole thing. I was reticent to watch it because I was like, you know, as a woman who's tried to pitch a show about a female comic, you're always told that no one would watch it.

And then you have Marvelous Miss Maisel and this. So goes to show you, but when she tried to get her own late night show and she couldn't, I cried watching it. And I think a lot of women cried because we all know that feeling of trying and just being told that you're not right, you're not good enough at all times. So the show, it's like a ghost of Christmas future, Christmas past.

Like I hope to be that scathingly honest and bitter and intelligent and well-dressed when I'm Jean Smart's age in that show.

Yeah, I mean, I think what it comes down to, and for the girl who's there, I'm sorry, I don't know your name, but I'm glad that you're here. I'm glad there's another girl here. I think it comes down to women contain multitudes and do great things. And as much as we get pit against one another, it usually is like a bitter male comic secretly stepping on your neck.

Like, I have seen those tantrums in my own interviews. I've had male comics walk out of a podcast. I've had male DJs walk out. I've had men who, you know, I might... have the wrong inflection, and then all of a sudden they're upset. So we always are told to get this tough skin, but I would give that advice right back. My name's Lucy, by the way. Lucy, nice to meet you. I'm sorry.

Yeah, I think to criticize these things as a woman, you just get called a bitch. And even when you go on some of these podcasts and you agree with the host, you're still subjected to the comment section, which is why I turned that thing off. And so you are dealing with gigantic children. But for some reason, if you're smart enough to know that somehow that makes you the problem.

And so it is this weird catch 22 of like being just smart enough to know the environment, but like not being able to comment on it. So the answer is make your own money, sell out your own shows, get your own fans as a comic. So you don't have to ask anybody for anything. And that is my favorite part of this job is I don't require permission.

Oh my God. I don't think we have enough time. I love making a, this is so dorky, but like I just did it. I love making a connection. I'll call it like a butthole tight connections in a big airport and walking from one plane onto another. Like you feel like you nailed it. I love that. I love obviously the performing and the fans.

I don't love trying to find like a good salad late night in a city like Buffalo. I don't,
