Euphoria Calvin Klein just dropped the new elixir collection by Calvin Klein featuring three perfume intense scents inspired by a unique orchid accord paired with vanilla. Each one has its own distinct attitude, its own universe. Bold elixir is sensual, woody, and addictive. Magnetic elixir is sweet and romantic, like a lingering touch. And solar elixir is bright and radiant. Joy in a bottle.

92.481 - 106.607 Drew Afualo

They're ultra concentrated for a scent that really lasts. Find your euphoria with the Euphoria Elixir Collection by Calvin Klein. I will say this. Our interview, when I got to interview you at the Actor Awards. Yeah. In the comments.

You hated me.

108.451 - 110.194 Meg Stalter

No, could you imagine if you said...

Chapter 4: How do the hosts address the expectations of celebrity appearances?

178.223 - 186.23 Meg Stalter

I sat in silence. And then she said, I'm really excited to talk about my family, about myself. Don't say anything, please. That would be so scary. She would never do that.

0

186.25 - 196.999 Drew Afualo

Oh, no questions. Questions at the end. Yeah. No, I know. I had to make a video and I literally said like, unfortunately, when you watch my show, you're going to have to hear me talk. Unfortunately. Well,

0

196.979 - 208.395 Meg Stalter

I wouldn't want to hear someone by themselves. I love Chapel. I wouldn't want to hear her by herself unless I'm listening to her album. Yeah, exactly. By herself would be scary. I'd be scared.

0

208.995 - 221.553 Drew Afualo

She doesn't want you to not talk. No, I know. Well, obviously. I was like the only interview she did that year. So I was like, right. So clearly she enjoys hearing me talk. If you don't enjoy it, I'm sorry to hear that. I would catch her on Jimmy Fallon.

0

221.573 - 242.689 Meg Stalter

People won't say that to me on this episode. They will say, I wish that Drew talked more and I wish that crazy white bitch would shut up. I know they're going to say that. I already know it. I already know it. The comment I get the most, yeah, I only like her in small doses. Keep her on hacks as a smaller part. I'm serious. They will not say that to you.

242.769 - 252.561 Drew Afualo

No. Well, I mean, you say that now, but once I start acting, once my acting career takes off, bitch, they're going to start, they're going to wish they never heard from me in the first place.

252.581 - 256.666 Meg Stalter

They're going to always want to hear from you. They will always be trying to arrest me.

256.686 - 265.798 Drew Afualo

Well, that's also how I feel. I think honestly, we're the same and that like, and it is like very annoying to see, especially when you're joking around and like,

265.778 - 295.633 Meg Stalter

riffing with someone and they're like i don't know did anyone feel like maybe this was for real and maybe they actually fucking dislike each other you're dumb you could literally be doing a sketch on a snow and someone would be like it fell off like i don't know like the vibe fell off i think i watched oh my god there's okay there's a clip of timothy chalamet and kylie timothy's sister walks up to them oh yeah kylie gets up and just goes i love your dress the comments

Chapter 5: What humorous experiences does Meg share about Shakespeare improv?

2984.79 - 2998.583 Meg Stalter

I'm on my shirt. That's the fun I always want. There are people that are like, what's going on? And then the people that get it feel like they're in on the joke. I'm the only one being made fun of by myself.

0

2998.683 - 3021.676 Drew Afualo

I agree. It reminds me a lot of Tim Robinson. because his humor too is very like specific. Like it's a very specific kind of humor. And that's how I feel about yours too. It's so layered and it's so funny, bitch. You have me giggling, bitch. That's literally, that's why I said at the Actor Awards, you and Zach Fox were my favorite people.

0

3021.736 - 3029.147 Drew Afualo

And I literally kept saying when I asked you the question, like, what would you change your actor name to? And you said, Miss Queen. Yeah.

0

3029.127 - 3051.949 Meg Stalter

Now, I don't remember that, but it does sound like something I said. Miss Queen is so crazy. Miss Queen. Well, the funny thing, and this isn't against any male comedians, because I love Nathan Fielder. I love Tim Robinson. I am their biggest fan. But people do let men be more like... Crazy and silly. Awkward, crazy humor.

0

3051.969 - 3052.871 Drew Afualo

No, you're right. You're so right.

3052.891 - 3065.479 Meg Stalter

And they're like, he's a genius. Like, he went and he's a pilot now. I'm like, if I went and I became a pilot, like, people would have me arrested. Like, and I just... People don't let...

3065.459 - 3069.123 Drew Afualo

Women be crazy, weird, funny.

3069.403 - 3074.849 Meg Stalter

It's like if I'm doing that on late night, it's like, she's crazy, lock her up. Who the hell is this?

Chapter 6: How do gender perceptions affect humor in comedy?

3075.23 - 3092.749 Meg Stalter

But then if a male comedian did that, that was maybe the same amount of known. Everybody would get it. Yeah, and everyone would be like, this guy's hilarious. Yes, he's a genius. He's so hot. I know. He's so sexy. Oh, I want the awkward guy. Because I think also people assume men are really smart.

0

3092.729 - 3115.041 Drew Afualo

yeah so it's like if they're doing something awkward it's obviously on purpose it's obviously planned right it's so andy kaufman it's you're so right because i made a joke and i talked about this with caleb often offline but like i made a joke with britney when she came on my show i was like glinda um and she asked me my opinion on ghouls and i said like just like generally ghouls and she said yeah and then i said well it's

0

3115.392 - 3133.603 Drew Afualo

if they came here legally, I wouldn't care. And then that was the joke and we laughed and we were riffing about that, pretending they're illegal, illegally entering the US, whatever. And the amount of comments I got that were like, did you get this joke from Caleb?

0

3134.225 - 3136.688 Meg Stalter

Oh, saying that you, does he have a ghoul joke?

0

3138.37 - 3139.571 Drew Afualo

If he does, I haven't heard it.

3139.591 - 3140.553 Meg Stalter

Wait, does he have a ghoul joke?

3140.613 - 3141.494 Drew Afualo

Probably, I might have heard it off.

3141.514 - 3143.396 Meg Stalter

Oh, they just were like, sounds like something Caleb would say.

3143.436 - 3150.825 Drew Afualo

No, they literally thought I took that joke from Caleb. I don't know if it was specifically about ghouls. I don't know if they just mean like doing a parallel.

Chapter 7: What insights does Meg provide about her auditioning experiences?

3351.711 - 3352.894 Drew Afualo

How did it go?

0

3352.874 - 3373.524 Meg Stalter

Well, I loved him on Broad City. Yeah. And what happened was we met at a stand-up show. And I don't think that we didn't have the audition yet for Hacks. I didn't know about it. But he does say that when he saw me at the show, then he was like, okay, this makes sense for Kayla. Oh, love. But then I still had to audition. Okay. And so I really wanted it. Yeah.

0

3373.565 - 3390.214 Meg Stalter

But Pat Regan showed me a screenshot where it did say my name in the script. Like, think Meg Stalter. Ooh. And I was never on TV before. That's so cool, though. So it was nice to have my name in a script. Oh, my God. That's incredible. But they could have gave it to someone else. People are auditioning that I know. That's crazy.

3390.835 - 3397.849 Drew Afualo

They're using you as reference? Yes. Doing me. Do you have any tips for me for auditioning? I'm venturing into acting.

3397.829 - 3401.394 Meg Stalter

And, well, I was going to say that my dream is to do something with you for real.

3401.414 - 3402.636 Drew Afualo

I would love... Meg, I'll die.

3402.656 - 3414.213 Meg Stalter

I'm serious. I'll die. You are literally a star. And I don't care if there's a comment, oh, she's complimenting her a lot. I don't care. If you were here, you'd be complimenting her, too. Right. Like, truly.

3414.233 - 3415.154 Drew Afualo

That's how I feel about you.

Chapter 8: What are Meg's thoughts on the Rainforest Cafe and its atmosphere?

3611.968 - 3629.899 Drew Afualo

And I was like, well, I'm six feet tall. And I feel like that's why I'm not getting the roles. Me not even considering talent. I'm like, it's probably my height. So how do you feel? I told him, what if I'm five foot two? Yes, I literally told him, what if I said five seven? And he's like, that's like way too short. Like you should get a little closer. And I was like, okay.

0

3629.919 - 3633.75 Meg Stalter

I love your height. I'd be, if I was a casting person, I'd be casting you in everything, by the way.

0

3634.091 - 3639.988 Drew Afualo

Thank you. They're going to make me the Rock's body double before they make me a lead.

0

3640.559 - 3664.947 Meg Stalter

but that's the thing is casting people literally like it might not even be about talent or look they can just be like this person seems like what I had in my head that's for this I'm not even kidding that's what all my friends Sabrina Breyer she told me that's you have to write your own yeah she said she worked on a show and she said I worked with a showrunner that like we would pull up tapes and he before they even started he'd be like no

0

3664.927 - 3684.62 Drew Afualo

Because that's just not who he was picturing, which honestly makes me feel better. I feel like it gives me way more freedom because then I'm like, well, then it's really just chance. It's really just like, if you're feeling it, I can do it. Because sometimes I watch movies and I'm like, I could fucking do that. I watched Crime 101 and I saw Chris Hemsworth and I thought, I could do that.

3684.64 - 3701.562 Meg Stalter

I already know that you're an amazing actress because you are literally mesmerizing. Thank you. Do you think that somebody who, like, look at the platform you built. Thank you. There's a reason people want to watch you and hear what you have to say. And people will write for you. And that's the other thing is I know that there'll be other rules for me because I know.

3701.582 - 3701.802 Drew Afualo

Absolutely.

3701.782 - 3713.819 Meg Stalter

I know that we know who we are. So people know in the cast who we are and what we can do. Totally. Even before auditioning. So there will be. But I will say it's very empowering to tell yourself yes about stuff and write for yourself.

3713.879 - 3732.964 Drew Afualo

No, you're so right. And have your friends write for you. And I'm writing fiction books right now. It's so cool. Thank you. I would love to send you the sample after. But I sold them. I sold two of them. And I'm talking about film rights and TV show rights, whatever, before I've even written them. But I've been telling my team, this is my Lin-Manuel Miranda plan. I'm going to write it.
