I appreciate that question. That would suggest that I have any gratitude. And as a comic, I don't. I only ever think about the ways that I'm failing. And I know as a woman, I'm supposed to be so grateful. I'm never in awe of the size of the crowd because I look at those ticket counts, so I always know what we're walking into. But I will say...
I brought my daughter to my show in Vancouver, which was incredible. They're always amazing. And she watched from side stage. And at the end, she ran out. No one told her to. She ran out, and I scooped her up. And I was like, oh my gosh. I started talking about hand jobs and vodka sodas at 21. like getting paid like free chicken fingers at like a bar in Santa Barbara, like wherever.
And now there's like a little girl here that I deliberately had. And so that was a weird, and I toured pregnant with both kids. So it was, I turned over and I was like, I can't believe that this little girl is here and that I let her stay up till like 11 o'clock, which is really bad parenting.
So she was a little bit under three and she just turned three. And so just like her little legs running out and she wasn't afraid of the crowd or anything. It was just a magical moment to like scoop her up. And I knew I got to be backstage with her. Normally there's a dog waiting for me, but having her back there and I was like, oh wow, you ate all the fruit in the green room. And so that was it.
So the secret was, and this is before everybody got paid. You know, now you get paid to do your spots around town, but this was, I had a day job. This would have been, I got a gig in Santa Barbara. So I left my day job at six o'clock. I drove down there and like at the time no one was really getting paid or at least I wasn't. And, but you got free dinner at this bar and they gave you 20 minutes.
Cause you couldn't get 20 minutes at the time in LA. I was like 25 cause no one knew who I was. So I got free chicken fingers and I got to fill up my own gas tank and pay for it.
On spoilers?
I think you have to put a spoiler alert if it's within. Does Righteous Gemstones, and I should know this because I was on it last season. Do they release them all at once?
Oh, yeah. I was on it. Good luck finding me. I'm in a giant wig. But I should know. I don't remember if they drop them all at once or if it's appointment viewing. Do you know?
I think you get to do a spoiler alert. Like, I think if it comes out that week, you have to write spoiler alert. But if we're a week out from it, I think people, then you missed it. It's appointment viewing. But I think always writing spoiler alert or saying it so people have a chance to tune out is online courtesy.
I didn't say trigger warning. I said spoiler alert. They're different.
I just knew it would be a great way to go out.
She is projecting, man. Thanks, you guys. Thank you so much.
Oh, man. He hated women. Oh, no.
He's famous for saying women aren't funny. And I only think about that because journalists always bring it up. And I'm like, he's dead. So I guess I win.
Not, or just like a half quote and you're like, I'm sorry that I said that like half awake on a podcast in 2010.
Do I still need to remember my firm stance on dogs versus cats on a sandwich being a pita? Going out on a limb.
Do you? The first TV show I ever shot, we shot it in Encino in like a mansion. It was like a reality show. And I had no real reference for it. But as I get older, you're like, oh, that's where all the money in the valley goes. Like if you want to live like a millionaire in Kansas City, buy your house in Encino and you can live like a person.
No, it was called, you would only know this if you had trouble sleeping and or a coke addiction because it aired so late. Well, what was the subject of it?
It was called Excused and it was like a dating show. People and I was the host and people would date. Oh, yeah, I did. We did 230 episodes. Holy shit. I have eaten, the bigger issue is that no one knows the show, but I have eaten at every single restaurant in Encino.
