Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
Hey babe, I just wanted to confront you really quick on my podcast. I am here with Blair recording, frankly, an all-timer episode. And I've been led to believe that you had a karaoke celebration on Monday that I didn't receive a text about. Did you want to speak on that?
Love you. I love you.
Goodbye. I love you.
Goodbye.
This episode is brought to you by Domino's.
Thank you, Domino's. I'm sorry.
What else are you gatekeeping in your life? Is there anything big?
It's pussy.
No, you're not. Well, actually, you kind of are. What's going on? Yeah, let's get into it.

Chapter 2: What are the challenges of dating after grief?
I'm just trying to have a word. Yeah. You know? Yeah. How you doing up there? I understand. What's happening? You catching any waves in the ether?
Are you getting a connection?
Um, I have, there have been some specific things, but this last time I went, it was around that anniversary. And so I was like, let's have a chat. And the whole time this woman was telling me that he wants me to find true love. And I was like, all right. And then I was telling my mom and she was like, well, you know, well, he would say that all the time when he was alive.
And I was like, okay, fine.
That's really nice. I think that's a great takeaway from that situation.
I knew you were going to say that.
I like that. I also want you to find true love.
Yeah, no, but what I'm looking, trying to do this year as sort of a reset from the year of grief is I just like want to shake my ass. Yeah?
Yeah.

Chapter 3: How does Blair feel about dating expectations?
You know, whatever, invariably talking shit on some comic we don't like or talking about a set that we had that was fun or whatever. I'm just like, oh, wow, this is the coolest life ever. It is. I'm so happy to have so many creative, weird friends.
No, it's so much fun. Everyone's so smart, like, from all over the country, all different places. And now you're in the band Paramore. And I know an actual member. That's so cool.
I'm in the band Paramore, yeah. Yeah. It's happening for me. I've been... Auditioning forever.
I know.
When they're finally ready to have me.
When you're not a minute away from Meryl's house.
Dude, when I tell you, my musician friends will not stop asking me to come on stage. And it's funny because I always joke about like, oh, I hate going to concerts because I'm not up there. I really do try to avoid getting up there because guess what? I'm a Paramore fan. And guess what I know? If I was watching a Paramore show or a Hailey show, this was a Hailey show.
If I was watching a Hailey show. Oh, it was a Hailey show. And they brought out a gay comedian. Ha! I would be so fucking mad. And so I know there were people in that audience that were like, oh God, I can't get away from this fucking guy. And I feel for them as the thing I'm like, baby, I know, I'm so sorry, but you're going to have to keep dealing with it.
I love when like some sort of distant past life Republican comes out of you where it just came out right then. If I was in the audience and I saw this gay comedian.

Chapter 4: What insights are shared about online dating?
Yeah. In the control room for 23 seconds.
Blink and you'll miss him.
It was huge for me.
It was huge for me. What's going on with you this year? You're over the year of grief. You're into the year of shaking your ass.
Yeah, I mean, the grief is still there, but, you know, you have to remedy it with shaking your ass. And I'm just on tour. I'm everywhere, you know, just traveling around delivering this medicine to the people. An apothecary, really. Yeah. I'm traveling. I'm doing comedy. What else am I doing? I'm trying to act. That's ultimately where I want to land.
I wish to be sort of another iteration, but uniquely myself, of Melissa McCarthy, Jack Black.
There's something missing.
What?
Well, just those being the two people you picked, obviously, I think.

Chapter 5: What are the challenges of receiving criticism from those not in the arena?
And then I feel like sometimes when you say that, people are like, oh, so they have to like you? I'm like, no, they don't have to like me, but they certainly shouldn't be criticizing the way I do something that they don't have the balls, talent, skill, or courage to even try.
Sorry to bring it back to Brene Brown, but if you're not in the ring, baby...
Get out of here. I think it was Renee Brown who said, get out of here.
She said, I don't know her quote. This is a non-Texan paraphrase. But she said, if they're not in the ring with you, their criticism doesn't get to be in there either.
Hello.
Hello.

Chapter 6: How do personal experiences shape opinions on humor and criticism?
I think that's word for word.
But, no, also, the idea that it never considers... It never crosses their mind because they feel like everything, whether they're aware of it or not, is inherently for them. Right. That if they don't like something, that it could be actually for an entirely different audience. Yeah.
Like, I... You know, when I think about straight men, sometimes I'm like, I literally have nothing in common with you. I don't know how I'm supposed to go to bed with you. You know, like... We don't have any of the same interests, ideas.
Keep following that.
I'm going to.
I know that's your wish. Keep following that. Dakota, what's up, girl? Chase that down.
Yeah.
No, I think sometimes I do prefer, though, me personally, and obviously this probably wouldn't speak to your experience, but for me personally, I sometimes prefer the straight guys that are just like, he's unfunny, his jokes are bad, to the, like... liberal queer people that don't like me that are like, try to make me like a moral failing.
Or try to give like an academic analysis of what is supposed to be silly and absurd.

Chapter 7: What insights are shared about the impact of social media on personal expression?
And it's like, no, you just don't think it's funny. Shut the fuck up. Shut the fuck up. You don't think it's funny.
Shut the fuck up.
fuck up you're insufferable problematic I hate problematic if you say problematic to me I will never take you seriously again well it's also just so crazy because I mean especially you like you're out there and you were way before even you achieved these like great levels of success like doing the work like you are very heavily involved in charity giving your money your time I do the bare minimum coordination
I do the bare minimum. I do what I think I'm supposed to do. I don't even want anyone to be like, he's such a great activist. I know that.
Chapter 8: How do food and community play a role in football culture?
I know that you don't want that. I just mean like... And I know that that's not what you're going for. But it's like to go after... To not have the awareness that who you're going after is actually like putting good into the world and doing... As opposed to so many other people that are either actively harming or just not doing shit.
Yeah, I think my... I don't need anyone to think that I'm a hero. I don't think that. But problematic to me is such a specifically stupid, brain-dead, worthless accusation against someone. Not even just me.
In general, in the world, problematic is like you either need to find a real problem in your own life, go find something to be actually worried about, or you have to actually say what you don't like about this person. Problematic is like, really sit down and think about that. What does that mean? It means nothing. Think about a real problem that...
And try and assess the text or the content through, like, any kind of lens at all that has any kind of merit. Problematic is just, like, the dumb person's way of being like, I don't like this, and that means it's morally wrong. No, it's not. You just don't like it. And you're not a serious person to engage with.
Yeah, and also, it's, like, not... It's a comedy podcast.
Or a stand-up set. Yeah, or comedians. Whatever. Yeah, it's just like it doesn't matter.
The point is to have fun. I mean, look, I'm not trying to be like, I'm pushing the boundaries. And look, I'm the last bastion of truth. Like, you know.
I'm a fucking poet and philosopher.
I'm a poet. And look, if you don't like it, then, you know, just get the fuck out of here. Leave the country, you know. Leave the country.
