Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
So the show is basically, if I was a crazy actor who decided to run for president, who is rich and full of herself, and basically the whole show is being like, the message is like, I want to connect to you guys because I have so much money and you guys don't have pools. Yeah. And then I sing a lot in it, but I'm not really singing. It's like me lip singing.
Therapuss with Jake Shane

Therapuss with Jake Shane

Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I really want to do it in LA again because it was so fun. I want to go. Please. But you're going on tour. I know. When is your first date?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I cancel my... What if we do a night where we switch? I do your show, you do mine. Should we? And then you have to wear the blue skirt suit I wear.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I try to do my hair like a crazy... I was Googling politician hair and then I just put a bunch of curls in it and pinned it up and it looked like a Pentecostal woman. Like Sarah Palin? Well, I wish it looked more like that. Whatever happened to her? Where are the... Sometimes I mix her up with Tina Fey.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Because when you just said Sarah Palin, I was like, oh, yeah, Tina Fey.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
That's what she said. Why did she say that? Where is her house? In Russia? Why is she saying that? First of all, don't give away where you live. Literally, a close friend could be like, where do you live again? And I'll be like, in LA, of course. Yeah, right up the hill. I don't ever tell where I live.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Loves the conversation until you don't. Well, it seems like you do, first of all, because you guys didn't meet yet, right? No, and now I'm scared of him. Well, doesn't that, even though you're absolutely incredible, you deserve all the numbers off Grindr and any number you ever want. Wait, I don't understand. Why is he acting like that?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Oh, hot. You think? No, absolutely not. Not hot at all. Opposite of hot. To yell at someone?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Ew, what was he yelling? Right here, right here, love.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
It's really a turn off to be drunk like that and yelling at someone.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
When I used to date men, I feel like that would be the vibe sometimes. Like anger. Anger after not getting something. Fury.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
It's switching up on a dime. That's men. Yeah. That is like straight men, but it seems like also... Gay men. Gay men too. That's just men. Yeah, men. Men in general. Yeah. But not you. And there's some, I like to say some men are goddesses. Who? You, my brother. Your brother? Yeah. How old? He's like 26. Okay. Yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
No. Oh. No, I'm kidding. Oh. Oh, no, he does. I used to do a podcast with him. Did you really? Yeah. And it was called Confronting Demons with Megan Salter. And it actually was really funny. Why'd you stop? Because he's so funny. You know, I love doing it, but it was getting hard, I think, with schedule.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And I think like it was getting hard because at the time we were doing it, we lived together because it was like during the pandemic. But then like when we left, it's like the time difference. It's hard to like schedule. It's hard to schedule. Where does he live? In Ohio. What does he do? He's a tattoo artist. Him and my dad are. That's cool. So I have tattoos from them.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And so it's hard for a tattoo artist to do a podcast. I got that. I guess unless they want to do it on the weekends. No, no. He works on the weekends. But Voodoo Monkey Tattoo in Cleveland, if you're ever there.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
They actually are really a famous tattoo place in Cleveland. They've won so many awards. Really? Yeah. I love to brag about them.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Well, this one says cunt. Just kidding. Oh, where? No, I'm kidding. I know. Could you imagine I'm lying? No, no. They're up here. So this says, baby, I'm a star. People think it's from a song, but it's not. It's just you. And then this is a bee with a wolf head. And my sister has it. Oh, that's sick.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
My brother did the star and then my dad did those and then I have this like bunny rabbit with a red hat. I did a commercial for something before.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
In the commercial, it was me and... Oh, no way. So it was me and him during our little part of the commercial. Yeah. And I will say, and I'm not saying anything bad, he did keep falling asleep. What? During the shoot. And he's a dad. I don't blame him. What do you mean he kept falling asleep? He was fully asleep.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I don't think, I think we did get his lines, but like, towards the end of the day, he was like, or like, yeah, it was like, every part on the couch, when he was standing, he wasn't asleep, but when we were on the couch together, he was asleep like almost the entire time. And I love him. I think that's so funny.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Yeah, they'd be like, okay, I... Like, they'd have to wake him up. And I don't blame him. He's tired. He's a dad. And I do not blame him. Like, I'm like, that is so funny to fall asleep on the shoot again and again. And also, it was a long day. I can't blame him. Did he say, like, sorry? No. And I love that. It's confident. He's like, I'm sleeping, probably. He's thinking, who cares?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Who does care? He's... I definitely like in between scenes will go like rest, but like it was in the middle of the scene. Like it'd be like my coverage. Not, no, no. He wouldn't sleep while the camera was on, but in between, well, there was some sleepy takes, but I would say he wasn't being rude to me. He was literally just so tired.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
So I'm like, I wonder if like something happened with the footage.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I have weird pictures of me like holding up Uber Eats bags though.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
But I'm like, these are weird now because like, please hire me again. I mean, come on.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Why would you say that about yours? I love your nose.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
That is so nice. I love that you're saying that. I had a friend that used to say I had a movie star nose.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
No, but that's not my statement. Oh, okay. Because I think that every nose is a movie star nose. Because I like different unique noses. So that's not my statement, please.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Joan Rivers. Okay, no. You don't think it. It's different. It's a taste thing.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I have a little tiny bump on mine. You can't tell. But I like it because I love how different and unique people look, so I like a different nose. To me, I never really thought about my nose being like that. The first time anyone said that I had a good nose was that friend that said I had a movie star nose, and I thought it was cute she said that, but I loved her nose.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I like when people look different in any way. I think it is interesting that people all get the same face now.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I still think if that makes someone happy, I used to be like, I used to be like, I'll never get anything done because I want to have the opportunity to see the way I look when I get older, which is how I feel. But I think I might've used to think like, why do people do that? And now I'm like, if it makes them happy, it's like, okay. Right. Like I think they're beautiful before and now.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I still think like if I got work done when I get older, won't I wonder like what would I have looked like? I'm serious. I always felt like that.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Yeah. I'm not saying I'm better. I'm just asking you because you said all-time favorite.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
What? No. Oh, again, not judging anyone that wants that because I want people to be happy with themselves. But God made us so beautiful and different. I like think it's so unique and like I love everyone's nose. Everyone has a movie star nose. Oh, thanks. You have a beautiful nose. I've never thought ever. You can't see the bump. I don't know what you're talking about.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I literally have the same thing. I like it. No, you don't.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Okay, so I'm therapist about that, too. Yeah, I was, like... I don't want you to be uncomfortable.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
That's why I thought you were saying, like, it looks... Like, you could tell. I'm like, you can't, though. No, no, no, no. Because since you were saying the thing about you didn't like your nose... No, I was just thinking about my DNA deceptive, which had me thinking about my nose. Well, that does... People should... medically get things that help them.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I know he's lying. What does he mean by that? Why is he saying that?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Was he like, didn't want to do it or something? I don't know.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Oh my God. Maybe it's something with your ears getting clogged though. I don't think, I don't do too much to my ears, but I think some people have like a problem with their ears getting like stopped up.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Were you sick that day? Because mine really hurt on the plane if I'm sick.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I started panicking, yeah. I was like, I'll never be able to hear again. That's what I thought.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And nobody really cares. Like, every time I was complaining, like, people are like, okay, like, you're okay. But it's like, no, it actually feels, it hurts so bad. And I think it just is like, oh, well, they'll pop eventually. Like, people don't, like, I care because I know what the feeling is. But if you don't get it, people don't, like, they're like, okay, you're fine.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
That is, thank you for saying that about me. I think that you're the all-time funniest, and when I met you, I was, like, smiling at you, and I almost felt like I was flirting with you all day.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I love her. She's so funny. She's my idol. She's literally so incredible and so good at her job. And she's so funny and sweet. I just really loved working with her. And I just think she's the best writer. She's such a good director. And I just had the best time. I can't wait to see her again. Oh, she's awesome. Is she just as funny in person? She's so funny.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
She's literally like how you imagine her. She's like the good parts of Hannah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And the character I play is kind of a mix of me and her.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Yeah. There's sex scenes. Really? Yeah. But no full nudity.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
It was like, I feel like they try to give you a lot of privacy.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And so, but then sometimes that makes it funny. Like, it's so good that they do.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
But, like, I just remember this one scene where we were in the, well, it's not giving any spoilers, but there's just a sex scene and I was in the bedroom with the person. And, like, they were like, right when we say go, we'll swing the door open and the camera will come up, like, we'll shoot it.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
and so but the way the door swung open it's like like so funny and awkward yeah it's just really like it was just such a quick scene but it's like being in a room alone and then all of a sudden the door swinging open and you see a camera it's like so funny and i just couldn't stop laughing during that scene Do you laugh in the show? No. They got the shot. Yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
But I definitely was, like, so... It was just so funny because, like, there's a camera there. It just is so, like... Sex scenes are so funny because it's so not... Right. ...real or sexual or anything at all. Right.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
You learned that it's not... Like, it wasn't like the movies. Oh! But do you feel like... The first time's never like the movies. It's the first time, it's very scary. And then it's with someone older that's probably experienced, so they probably maybe didn't handle it as well. So that could be very scary. But I think when you're in love, it could be like the movies or better. Ooh, okay. Yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I like that. But the first time is never like that, unless it's your wedding night. And I think even then would be... I don't know why I said that because I'm like, wait, what? The wedding night would be so scary and awkward. Where do you want to get married? I saw a beautiful TikTok the other day of someone getting married under a waterfall.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Because I wanted to make sure you were safe the rest of the day. I was. And the rest of your life.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And I was like, that would, I always joke that I want to come down. Have you seen that video of like this bride coming down on like a parasail? Is that what it is? No. So it's like tons of balloons. No, yes, that is what it is, but I've never seen that. Okay, so she's on a parasail and there's tons of balloons around her and she's coming down into the wedding.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Oh, okay. Maybe I'm getting the video. She's on some device where she's flying down. I think I want to have an outside wedding. An outside? Yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
See, that is, maybe I go somewhere where there's never rain.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I think wherever, maybe somewhere also special. Like, oh, like, you know, I think it, I haven't really, I just, when I imagine the wedding day, I just imagine the person. It's beautiful. And I sometimes imagine what my hair will look like.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And I imagine what, like, my person will wear, what my partner will wear. What do you want to wear? Because she's so hot. So I think, like, I can imagine, like, I used to imagine, like, my hair on my weddings, like, really big, like, classic Priscilla hair. Um, but now I'm thinking maybe a little smaller Priscilla hair. I think that'll look amazing. Thank you.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
But also it gives me a lot of hype probably. And I, I definitely want to be high, but I'm like, am I also going to wear heels? You know? Right. So I'm like, I don't want to be the, I love being tall, but the tallest woman in the world. I mean, I don't know. It depends on the shoes, I guess. Right.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I feel like you're the perfect height. Really? Perfect nose, perfect height. Oh, Meg. How tall do you want to be? Seven foot?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Well, you know, a lot of actors are really like shorter.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Like sometimes people have to be on a box next to me.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Well, I just feel like everyone is so unique and perfect. Except for ugly people.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Yeah. I heard you on your podcast, the one that we're on, talking about different kinds of octopus that you can eat.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I actually did like everything you chose to put on your burrito, by the way.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Well, I got in the habit of getting this burrito, like, every week, and it kind of made me sick every time, but it tasted so good. I won't say the place, and I can't remember the name of it anyway. We'll bleep it. I can't remember the name, but I got it every week. Have you ever been- It's called, like, Big Nasty Burrito. Oh! Or something like that. And it has like hash browns in it. I don't know.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Like, like, okay. Sometimes people will send me like a really crazy video and be like, this is you like, or like do this, you know? So when someone sends me something, I'm like, they think this is like my character.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
It'll be literally like a woman in a courtroom like screaming or something. And it'll be like, this is so Meg Stalter. And I'm like, guys, I'm not really like that though. You're talking about my videos, right? People think I'm like Kayla.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
shopping her book oh wait sorry not jenny slate you're talking about her yes yes the guy she has book and she's like well what happens to my book i thought you were talking about how um that she's like really angry at jenny slate's character because she has it all and her boyfriend dies and she's like well cool you have this cool book like yes yeah she's like her boy and then uh everyone's like you're such a narcissist hannah
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
It is like people are like... Like, Lena's so good at making real people. Yes. And, like, being able to show bad people the good side of them, too. Like, Lena wouldn't act like that, but I'm sure she knows people that... Right.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
You are so right. Cause like that is a lot of people's first thought, but they wouldn't say it out loud. Yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Yeah. And that's why it's so true. Like you would think there would be at least one point in the day if you weren't close to that person to be like, wait, what's going on?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
No, I wouldn't go to the funeral and say that. No, I wouldn't go to, but obviously it's television.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I don't know. I had to stop ordering it. But it is one of those names where it's like big crazy guys. Yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I probably would relate to her. I think I'm probably a combo, but I would say like Hannah is not the worst one.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Oh my God. It's so good. I also didn't like that. I, to be honest, like I love Shoshana, but I actually didn't like that.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I didn't like her little attitude at the end. Yeah, neither did I. I like how the show ended. Cause like that's real life. But like, I actually felt like she was really like, I liked how they did her. Right. Like, the writing of it. But if it was real life, I would be mad at Shoshana for being, like, at the end, like, kind of abandoning them and being, like, thinking she's better than them.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Like, that was so... And they actually hurt each other. And Shoshana's acting like she's better than everybody else. of course, love, love, love the actor, love the writing, love how they told that story. Like it shouldn't have ended any other way, but like, wouldn't you be mad?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Leave them on more. Oh, I see. Because it could have been another. Yeah. Another show. Yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I loved that Marnie ended up helping her, too. Like, they're so, I think that people, like, get annoyed by Marnie, but she's so funny to me. She is funny.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Are you nervous to be on the podcast with me, or does it feel like your old cousin's here?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Oh, my God. One of my favorite lines ever is when he's like, open your heart to me, Bella. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She's like, fuck yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Oh, I watched it, like, when it was coming out. Like, literally, like, I guess I'd be, like, 21 or something.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
It was, like, oh, my God. Like, I was, like, I probably was, like, 21, 22. And I felt like it was, like, I was nervous that my mom would see me watching it or something because of the sex. Like, I was, like.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Why was I nervous? I literally used to watch Sex and the City with her. Like, I don't know why. I think it was something different about the sex scenes on girls that felt so real.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I think that's why. Yeah. You know what? I actually, I'm going to validate you. If my parents walked in on me. Yeah. Like, those sex scenes were different than Sex and the City. They were just like. They were like raw and like real. They seemed like I was actually like seeing something that I've never seen before or something.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And I think that's why. But I did live at home, like, later than most people, I think.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I don't get people moving out when they're 18. No, like, I went to college. Like, that's so hard.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Oh, I forgot to tell you. You asked what school I went to when I started. You never told me. I went to, like, community college. I was, like, paying for it myself. So I'm, like, I don't have the money to move out. And also, like, I helped my parents.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I just didn't know if it was like, oh, yeah. Well, we have Meg, so we don't have to be nervous today.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
mom a lot like babysitting my siblings like i just like i didn't have money saved and i was paying for school and i was in i also did like um church missions work wait so you're like really a child of god i'm a child of god wait
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
So it'd be, so there's something called YWAM youth with a mission. And it's basically like they have centers all around the world and you go there in different, you could go like, Oh, I'm doing YWAM in Boston. I'm going to spend three months in Boston and we're going to travel for three months. So I did mine in Peru. So it's like three months in one section of Peru.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And then we traveled all around for three months and we did like Christian dances. What do you mean? So, like, we would, like, memorize a couple Christian dances or, like, Christian, like, little dramas. Like, so we'll do them at the church. It's like we're guests at their church. So we'll, like, run a service and we'll, like, do the dance. And to be honest, like, it was such a powerful dance.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Like, I really would, like, tear up. Okay, so it'd be, like, some of us are dressed as angels. Some of us are dressed as demons. They're playing this, like, really intense music. And we're, like, doing this, like, wild, like... like dance that it's like interpreted and it's like perform for like the church. So they'd be so excited.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
We were there different churches all around, like Bolivia, Peru, like Chile. It was so, um, fun and like life changing to be somewhere where like you were just focused on like something bigger than yourself.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Like, did we do, I feel like I helped people, um, Like, I think I made friends and I shared the love I have for God. But, like, missions are funny because, like, my first missions trip was in Costa Rica. And half of it was, like, a vacation. And I was, like, a teenager. And I was, like, I loved our pastor. Like, he's amazing. Like, I didn't think anyone had bad intentions.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
But I did feel like this does feel like it's a little bit weird. We, like, raise money. And, like, there is, like, I know they have good intentions. But sometimes it can be, like... What's bad is if you go and you think, like, I'm going to be, like, the savior and, like, help. But actually, they helped us way more than we helped them just by, like, seeing, like, the world so much bigger.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I get nervous to do podcasts. I'm not very good at them.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I mean, I was a teenager. And I think going and, like, spending time with people that live in different places is important for you. But we didn't go and, like, change people's lives. We went and visited churches. And, like, I think it is life-changing if you...
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
What's life-changing is if you're talking to your friend who needs something spiritually that they're not getting and you're sharing your experience with God. I think that's really important. Going to a church and performing the dance, it's more so community than that you're actually changing their lives. You're not a white savior going there to help.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I went on the Bald and Beautiful and people in the comments were saying, boring interview. Who's that? Are you serious? Yeah. But then some people defended me and they're like, no, no, it's funny. It's like they're just old friends hanging out. And that's what I really want to listen to. Just normal conversation. I thought I left going, oh, I wish it was another hour long.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
We don't know. Well, that's important. Because if it's 18 and 64... Yeah, then. If it's 35, 40... But it seems like that would be a different age difference because the aunt probably wouldn't date someone that much younger than her. Can I take a guess as to the age difference?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I think too young. You think late 30s is older, but it's not.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Look, here's some context. I'm 35. What? Wait, am I 34? Sometimes you forget exactly your age. 34, sorry, yeah. I'll be 35 this year. So you're saying the aunt's about my age? No. Do I look like an auntie?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Yeah. That's awesome. Do you feel like I act like a Virgo? What do you think I act like?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
It makes so much sense. Yeah. We're so different in like the best way.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I like, I think like, I like to, with like career stuff, I like, I think being in charge. So then in relationship, I like, I like someone being the, like you, you be taking care of me. That's what I like. I like taking care of people a lot. So it's actually nice to have someone to take care of me because I am a nurturer oldest daughter.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
that is oh wait well you and katie perry were talking about um scorpio and virgo's being good together we were i think one of you said like um oh i think you said maybe that scorpio and virgo's good because the the scorpio's like this is how i do it and then virgo's like but this is how it's done or something yes yeah is it coming back to you
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Wait, so you, I think, to be honest, if I was the aunt, I would probably want them to tell me. Yeah, I would want to know. Yeah. So in a fun, casual way, it doesn't have to be like, sit down. We have to talk about this. Your new boyfriend, disgusting pervert. Yeah. But I would want to know.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Or 19. That's weird. But, like, 21, if a third-year-old is dating a 21-year-old, okay.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
But if a 64-year-old is dating a 21-year-old, that's weird. Right. It all depends. Right. But after 25, I think you could date.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Oh, you think that. I think the person should go, I think that he was dating one of my friends.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
That's good. The fucked is giving them an image that might never leave their mind. But what if we left it open-ended?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Yeah. I like that. But also, I'm not going to say no because maybe you should say it crass like that.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
She knows. Okay. There. It's all in the end. She knows. She knows. Or does it say that she knows in there? No, but I'm telling you. Oh, you add she knows. Yeah. Okay, yeah, that's what I agree. Yeah, she knows. If you want to save friends, just, like, you can't really get that involved, right?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Because you actually might think that person's controlling. There might be a whole other information that you don't know. There could be literally, like, oh, well, this person is controlling because this, this, and this. And, like, that's something they're working on and you don't have any idea.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
But it's also like, what is controlling? Is it you've been locked in your room and you can't leave for a day? Right. Or is it like, oh, like, do you think you should change your sweater because we're going to dinner with my parents? You know, and that's like annoying, but it's not like you leave the person. You're like, hey, don't tell me what to wear.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Wait, I am really bad with celebrities. And I won't say who, but somebody came up to me, a pop star. And she was like, oh my God, I love your comedy. But I didn't know what it looked like. And I just thought she was like a beautiful model. And I said, I love your sweater. That's okay. And that was all. But that was years ago. And I didn't know what she looked like.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Because if you're being controlled, even though it's easy to have the love goggles on, on some level you probably know how you want to be treated and eventually you make a decision, right? I don't think the friend is going to be like, your boyfriend's controlling and she's like, wait, what? Right. Are you serious? Yeah. There's no way.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
You have to just be there for your friend when your friend comes to you.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And if it's abusive, well, yeah. Hello. You're not allowed to just talk to my friend like that.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Okay, well, I prescribe getting a hobby. Because, well, first of all, we don't know how old these people are. They could be just out of high school or they could be literally like 25, right? But still, that's a lot. Everyone's 25. But it's still a lot.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
But the thing is, is like, who cares? People stay best friends with their exes. Yeah, they do. It's not that, it's like, that person's not with that person. They're with you. Right. There's nothing to worry about. It's not about the ex.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
It's more about if you're really secure in your relationship, literally your partner could be going out to dinner with their ex and you not care if you are feeling like you trust that person.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Because if the straight person, yeah, I do think we have a different outlook on it because I think gay people stay friends more often. I mean, they're really close to their exes. They go on vacation with them. Yeah. But straight people, there's a different culture there. Yeah, you're right. But I'm confused. Does it sound like the boyfriend was still seeing the ex?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Like blocking them. Right. Just block them. Even though it's a little bit like kind of like what if. But who cares. if they see that you've been blocked, I, I think part of it's like, okay, you don't want that person to be like, why did they block me and make it, don't give any energy to it. If you are actually thinking, should I go on? Should I not?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Is he thinking, just try to distract yourself until it stops happening.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And maybe go. And I think like, maybe you have a friend that I, I text this person every time I want to look at that person's social media. Right. Or you go, I'm going to go ride my boyfriend every time I want to look at his social media. Yeah, have sex with your boyfriend every time you want to look at your boyfriend's ex. Yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
What about this? Go to your own page and look at your page as if an ex was looking at you. Oh, period, Meg. I love that. Yeah, and just pretend and be like, oh, look at how beautiful her hair looks. Yeah. Life's too short to be worried about these things. It is.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Actually, the thing that helps the most is being like, if something actually happened between these two, that would not be the person for me. Exactly. If my boyfriend leaves me for their high school ex, That would give me the ick. Right. Right? Yeah. That's what they should be saying. It's just all about self-talk, I guess.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
You literally, I can't even, there's so many stories where it's like, oh, I found out I was being cheated on, didn't say it until this time. I'm like, I would literally immediately send it to them. Like, hi, hello. Like, what is going on?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I know her music and love her music. But at the time, it was like a long time ago. And so I didn't know what she looked like. I just knew like her popular songs. But that is literally. And I was like, oh, my God. She's like, yeah, that's one of the biggest pop stars. And you said that. And she was obviously kidding. Sarah wasn't being mean, but she was like, you stupid bitch.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I'd be like, oh, this is an interesting video of you kissing someone. I don't think that's me, though. Yeah. Well, I wonder what kind of revenge that person's thinking of.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Yeah, you want to see me dancing like this? You could have been getting that at home, asshole. Yeah, but you didn't. I like that idea, the checkmate.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Yeah, and you have a huge boner because you love watching me dance.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Cheating is all about the person and not the person they're with. It's like insecurity and stuff. So he was probably insecure and wanting to kiss the stripper who was probably beautiful, but he was wanting that attention, right? Yeah. Have you ever cheated on someone? Never. Never will. Have you ever been cheated on? I had a gay boyfriend in high school I think was cheating on me. Okay.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I've never seen him, but yeah. I think so, probably.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
People were telling me that. But I think he's, I love him. And I guess at the time I was upset, but also like, I wasn't like, oh my God, like you're cheating on me. I don't even know if I told him. Like, I think I was like, I think it was like, someone was like, I saw him like, or whatever with someone. And I kind of was just like, I don't even remember confronting.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I it wasn't like we weren't sexual I wasn't like ready to do that anyway yeah he wasn't wanting to because he was gay but like we did love each other it was really really electric it's like Hannah and Elijah it was like that yeah I mean it was literally like really intense like like he would throw my computer I'd throw his phone like if we were mad at each other we were best friends like yeah it was like really like my it was like a really intense he was like my sister and my boyfriend
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Oh, my God. That is crazy. I have the chills. I've had a lot of synchronicities lately.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I feel like gay guys love kissing. Like, I feel like at a party, gay guys are always trying to kiss me.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Like, I think it would be actually... interesting to talk to that person and be like was it like silly or was it like sexual because it'd be cool if he was bi and if even if he is i prescribe season one episode three of girls all adventurous women do where hannah finds out elijah is gay Yes, I love that.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
It is the best episode. Wait, don't you agree that it's like flirt, like, no, I'm not saying all gay guys, I'm not, please don't, don't put a viral clip of me up going, gay guys love to kiss. But I'm just saying that they're like, they, at a party, I mean, come on.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Okay, well, I want to tell the pussies that I think if my partner kissed somebody, yes, I would be really upset. Yes, it's cheating. But it's their ex. But they're exes and they're getting back together. They're not together yet. This person, if anything, that would be a turn on to me. Wow, cool. Bye. All right.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Well, I said I loved your sweater, actually. So that's really, that's really, like, I was saying, like, you look so gorgeous, beautiful, but I was playing a cool thing. Oh, I love your sweater.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
That's because they are being told that they can't be bi. There's so many bi men. There's so many bi men. Especially in LA. Exactly. You're going to find... There's probably more bi men than you could even think of.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Um, well, I would say, uh, first of all, God, how old is this person? Like, because it would make a difference if, if it's someone who's like 19, I would say you guys probably will break up.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
But I know I'm saying if it's like a, I, I'm know plenty of people that dated at 19 and they're still together. So do not get mad at me. Pussy, pussy. What do you call them?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Pussies. Don't get mad at me, pussies. Because every couple's different. But what I'll say is that I think that, to be honest, if you... It is good. If there's other things you want to explore and you're like, I don't know if this is the right person... Then, then think about maybe like, is it, is it worth, is this my person? This is what they need to ask. Is this my person?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
If the answer is yes, I'm so in love with this person. It's not worth it. What taught to me is finding somebody that is loyal to you and you're loyal to them.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And so like, it's not worth it. I think I've been there. You don't need to shop around. If you found your person, literally hold on because it's literally rare. And like, just stay.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
But if it's someone who, like, okay, there's all these other categories, like, I just don't think this is a person, and you're really young, it's like, if you break up, you'll find your way back to each other if it's meant to be.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
But that's only if you're not sure it's your person. Because I wouldn't risk it.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
How about How to Have a Threesome? Yeah, or that. Yeah. I love How to Be Single. I love that movie. Isn't it good? Yeah. Take me home, lady. I don't know where you live. But that's so true. She leaves and then she wants him back. Yes. It's just not worth it if you think you found your person. If there's any chance that this might be the one, I would wait and find out.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I wouldn't mess around with that. I agree. This precious life, it's hard to find. It is. I know you're going to find the most perfect bisexual man. I hope. I really want one. You are literally so magnetic. I know that... Really? You are literally... You are magnetic, young, vibrant. You need to just have so much fun because the bisexual person is coming to you.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Yeah, of course. And this was years ago, so how could you even blame me?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And don't explore after you find them because it is like... It's not fun walking around with these people in the streets testing them for test drives. That is monogamy's in.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I really don't. I think I've seen maybe a little bit of it.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I need to watch more of it. Me too. It's overwhelming because there's so many episodes out.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And I don't even think I had a lot of stuff out. I mean, she probably said she liked, like, A TikTok video or something? It must have been, because I don't even know if I was doing Hacks or any indie movies at that point.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I would never, like, I would just never write into a podcast about it unless I was like, I'm leaving this person. Because imagine they get married. I would still have in my mind that I did that.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I'm like, this is someone that at one point, at midnight, I was crying, writing into a podcast. Is it over? If they make you feel, I guess, like, less like yourself than you do on your own, probably.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I don't have the timing right of that sound. No, it works. Because usually like someone's like, and that's on period. But I'm like, yeah. Like five minutes later.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Well, I learned that dating, well, I already knew this, but dating men can be hard because all those questions were about men. Yeah. I learned that you think that 35 is an old aunt. Okay. That's older to you. I mean, to me, like when I was 25, 35 felt like, like so.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
But 30s are the new 20s. I always, I actually do say 30s are the new 20s. 30s are like, okay, 20s, you're a teenager. Right. 30s is like, okay, I'm in my 20s. Like I'm finally doing what I want to do. I'm figuring it out. 40s is like, okay, it's time to get started. It's time to start working. It's time to start getting into the office and work. 50 is like, maybe I could start thinking about kids.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
60s is, like, let's rev it up. We're in the height of our career. I agree. 70s, oh, my God. Like, I have everything I've ever wanted. 80s, time to party.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
We're on vacation. We're retired. Yeah. But we're thinking of writing a book. What would your book be called? Oh, Living Life in the Fast Lane. That definitely is a book, right? I don't know. What would my book be called? It would be called Hello, God, It's Me, Meg, again, because I've always loved you.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Oh, yeah, I guess. Okay, yeah, so maybe she saw me on Hacks, maybe. But either way, if she's listening, I love you and I love your music. I'd love to do a collaboration.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Do you really think you are a narcissist? Because I just feel like, do you?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I'm a little self-obsessed sometimes. No, being in love with yourself and loving who you are and accepting who you are is not a narcissist. I know it is funny to say, though, in a book title, so it's a perfect title. But I do say that you, in real life, and in the videos I've seen, I could not read you as a narcissist. Okay, well then today I learned maybe I'm not a narcissist.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I love shows like Love is Blind. Do you really? Yeah. I do like The Bachelor sometimes, some seasons. Yeah. I love, I like like dating shows. Yeah. You know what's funny? I just started, I literally, when I had pneumonia, I watched almost all of Transparent, which was so good. I can't believe I haven't seen it.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I know. I can't believe that I didn't. What happened to that show?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Yeah, and that's something I didn't realize until I was two seasons in.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
oh okay it was a very big deal but that was like one of the most celebrated shows at the time apparently it's amazing I didn't know that that person was like cancelled until I was like three seasons in and then I like looked up an article and I was like what um so I was watching that um I watched that. Oh, music. Everyone, you know, what everyone's listening to, Charlie XCX. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And Sabrina Carpenter. Well, you were in her Christmas special. I was. I was. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. I love her. She's so funny. She is so funny. And she's so talented. I do. I love Taylor Swift. I love her.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
well I fucking love Taylor Swift I know I do I love Taylor Swift I'm sorry I just well I guess I'm not sorry no you're not sorry I guess when everyone does everyone loves her everyone loves Taylor Swift I love that new album
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I loved it. So I'm always listening to her. I listen to a lot of rap music. Sexy Red and Megan Thee Stallion. A lot of stuff like that. Are you a Nicki fan? I love Nicki, of course.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I think that it would be so fun to transition I think it would too not not because I don't want to act or do comedy but like it would be like I think not like funny songs I don't think it'd be like sexual songs yeah it would be like pop star songs and I feel like my dream would be Like Addison Rae, where it's like, wait, she actually is. That's a bop. But I don't ever want to leave comedy behind.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I love him. I love you. He's, by the way, he is short.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And there's, I don't want him any other way. Yeah. You've never looked at Lil Wayne and been like, I wish you were taller.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
But like, he's like confident and like, I wouldn't want to see little Wayne tall.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Like I, and he's not too short. Like nothing's too short. Nothing's too tall.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Put that on a t-shirt. Maybe that will be the name of my book.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Is that serious? That makes me feel amazing because I had so much fun. It was so relaxing.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And you're the funniest and the prettiest. Please, everybody, please come see. The Prettiest Girl in America tour coming to you for two weeks in some random places. So go see on my tickets if it's going to be coming to you. And it's going to be worth it. And the tickets are great. It's a steal.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Of course not. But OK, have I thought about doing a comedy album? Well, the thing is, is my jokes don't always play. The stuff I do on stage doesn't always play for the ear.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
So it's like if I'm on stage, I'm usually like berating an audience member or being like, OK, like I hated my intro. Can you come up and introduce me like to an audience member? Yeah. And then I teach them how to intro me. And I just don't know if I think you got to see the visual. OK, how would you see this ass shaking on stage?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
So usually when I do this bit, I'll bring someone up on stage and I will say, like, you have to stand here.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And when I say go, you have to take three steps towards the mic. If you take more steps towards the mic, you might fall off the stage or you might look like you're not supposed to introduce the show and people will be scared you have a weapon. And then I make them do that, like, probably for, like, 45 minutes. Are you serious?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I usually make them do it for, like, 20 minutes and keep telling them they're doing it wrong. Okay.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I'm going to cut them off if you don't move them. And you can't really like hearing that's kind of like, come on.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
That is so sweet. I remember when I wasn't acting, I was in school to be a nurse and a teacher and all these random things. No way. I was in nursing classes or teaching classes, and I was talking to my mom, and I was like, what do you think I'm going to do after school? And she was like, we'll be a teacher. And I was like, you don't think I'm going to be an actor?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Like I was like still wanting the, and that's why I was like, wait, I need to get out of school and be in an improv class for eight years.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
So I didn't finish. I don't have a college degree. My partner actually says that's really hot about me.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Okay. I think so, too. Well, to me, it's hot to have a college degree, and it's hot to not. It's hot to do what you do. It's hot to do what you're meant to be doing, I think.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And I'm a God girl, so it's hot to do what you feel like God's put you on the earth to do and make people happy.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I think that comedy makes me so happy and performing in general. I'm not against doing a drama. So I think that when I was in nursing classes and teaching classes, I was like, this isn't for me, but I want to do something to help people. And now I realize I think it helps by berating the audience member just because it makes them happy. It does.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
And you'll say... Well, so I'll line them up and say one at a time to come on stage and wave at me. But I'm behind a big table because I don't want them close to me. Mm-hmm.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
basically i'm like playing a character the whole time that's like delusional think she's very talented but she's not we all know that i am of course but uh the character is not you know and um people have fun it's so fun people have fun people love meeting me and and i'm just kidding um People love, my, what did God put me on the earth to do? To say hello, wave at people.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Let them see someone that is so beautiful and good at singing. And like, it's, no, I loved, I've always loved to perform since I was little. And I think. Wait, like, if I love it that much, I must be meant to do it.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I was bad for a long time. Really? When I first started doing improv, I always thought I was really good. Uh-huh. And my friend was like, no, you were, like, the person that, like, you were like Michael Scott. Like, you were the one that when you'd come on stage, we'd be like, oh, my God. Yeah. I felt so like, I was like, I was like, I'm the funniest person in class.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
Well that, wait, when did it switch then? I, when I was in Chicago, I moved to Chicago to do standup and improv. And it was like, after maybe like the first two years, I was like, oh, I should just, I was, I felt like I was funny in real life. And I, I felt like I was good in the scenes.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
But I guess I wasn't, I guess. But I think eventually I started doing on stage what I thought was really funny. When I first started doing stand-up, I would do jokes like... Oh, guys, it's crazy that Chuck E. Cheese is selling alcohol. Right. Could you imagine a drunk mom at Chuck E. Cheese? And then I would like do it. Yeah. I wanted to do characters.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
But instead, I learned that you don't have to set it up like that if you don't want to. So you could just come out and do something that you think is funny. I started doing a lot of like slideshow presentations. I do that too. I think they're so fun.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 70: Meg Stalter
I love, I love that. I actually remember the first time I did one was the first time I was like, wait, that was like, it was something different than traditional standup. And I was like, wait, I could do whatever I want on stage. Right. Like, this is what I think is really funny. I didn't think the turkey cheese joke I told was funny.

Yes. It does make people happy. Not everyone likes my comedy. There's a, obviously there's a, there's a clip of me online and everyone has ripped it to shreds. It's, it's literally on Reddit. Like as like fat girl comedian does horrible standup. It's like, it's literally like worst bitch in the world. What clip is that? But the thing is, is like, they just don't get it. They don't get it.

It's literally like brunette bitch does horrible set. And it's like years ago I did a set. And it was like, I thought it'd be funny to take all the laughs out and make it look like I did like really bad. That's funny. And I'm like, how could they not tell we did that? Like, it's like several clips of the same people kind of like not laughing.

It's like a different part of the joke where they're not laughing. Like we edited it like that. And I can't believe people don't realize that. I need to see it. I'll send it to you. Please. It's really bad. Wait, but no, it's funny. It's really, I don't, the comedy is not bad. It's like my typical, like, oh, I'm like, hi, I'm amazing. Like, but then no one's laughing.

A Google ad made them say that? Yes. Could you imagine someone with a family text putting that in writing or saying that to anyone? And they don't even know you, right?

Is it the one where you're in the office? Or is that a different one? Okay, I love that.

Session 70: Meg Stalter
Yes, yes. Okay, I'm thinking of the wrong one, but I'm sure that that one was amazing.

Well, at first that was confusing to me, but then I remembered he used to send me videos where he'd be saying something serious, but it'd be like with the animal emoji. It's so funny. Oh, yeah. Guess what? I love him. Yeah. I'm saying hi back to him and I'm saying, please put me back in a movie. If you're going on tour, you're in Hacks and you're in the new Lena Dunham show too much.
