I was always just like, they were just, that's where alcohol came in. Like, so when I discovered drinking, then all my fears went out the window. And then, you know, which is the worst thing that could happen because when I was drunk, I would do way more embarrassing things and act a fool, more so than if I had been sober, but I was just too scared to do anything sober.

So, you know, the only way I ever had sex was, or was intimate with a man was, to drink to the point of blackout. And then by the time I was 27, I quit drinking. So I had about six years of fun that I don't really remember. But I just was observant of what men said about women around me. And I think that's where I got the idea that they talk about us.

Not so much it happened to me, but I had male friends and I had, I wasn't doing comedy before I was sexually active. So I was paying attention to how men talk to other men in a funny way about women. And I was like, I just don't want that to be me.

Yeah, it was. It was early 2000s. And I came up in the Kansas City and St. Louis comedy scenes, which... I feel are notoriously pretty dirty. Both the clubs are dirty, but also the comedy that comes out of it. It was just like, how can you get groans? How can we offend the crowd? That was the goal, was just to say the grossest, most offensive thing. So that was kind of my training ground.

And obviously, yeah, it was more the way men talked offstage, I would say, than onstage that made me... I just don't want to be a part of this locker room talk where someone's mocking me. And, you know, you can't really control it, but I've tried as much as I can.
