What inspired Leslie Liao to pursue stand-up comedy?
this is how women support women we just go around fixing each other's future husbands under the table no commission just like here's brian he's an active listener congrats on the engagement on this episode of the commercial break you weren't paying attention no i was not paying attention oh we were paying a lot of attention yes on repeat i was paying attention
Really?
Oh, yeah. D'Angelo got you like that? Oh, my God. It's like the Fifty Shades of Grey of MTV. Afterwards, I want to see it again.
I mean, I've seen D'Angelo videos. I know that they're hot and lusty, and I know D'Angelo himself is a pretty handsome young man. That was our Fifty Shades video.
Yeah, who needs the actual Fifty Shades? It's just D'Angelo.
The next episode of The Commercial Break starts now.
Oh, yeah, cats and kittens, welcome back to the commercial break. I'm Brian Greene, and this is the co-host of this terrible show, Kristen Joy.
Only best to you, Kirsten. Best to you, Brian.
And best to you out there in the podcast universe. Just wanted to let you know where you've arrived. You've heard the best. Now here's the rest. Top of the heap, best of the bunch, mediocre podcast that never could, never would, the brokest little podcast in all podcast universe. The commercial break. It was that guy, Robin Leach.
Robin Leach, champagne, wishes, and caviar dreams.
You too can be a broke podcaster dripping in gold leaf nothing. Look at these two superstars. It's only champagne and limousines for these two. Look at that spare tire. It's been on that car for months. Dusty, dusty.
The dusty velvet curtains and the microphones that don't work. All this could be yours with a little bit of podcast luck. Get yourself a prepaid gold card.
That's right. Credit one prepaid gold card. You'll be fooling nobody when you go to show up and buy off-brand ranch dressing at Kroger. Crunch. Credos.
They're just like Cheetos, only a little bit more cardboard added.
How did Leslie transition from working at Netflix to stand-up comedy?
Comparable. Comparable to Cheetos. That's right. Look at that beautiful studio. It's lovely with the tree branch hanging directly in it. Off-brand scotch tape. Off-brand scotch tape holding these microphones together. It's scrotch tape. It's scrotch tape. It's scrotch tape. That is the worst tape. It's not sticky. No, it's not. That's the worst. Try off-brand soda pop to save 10 cents. Have you ever had crite? That shit is shite. I'm telling you right now. It's terrible. It's terrible.
That's the way you live in as a mediocre podcaster. Number one in improv comedy, whatever that means. Number one trending podcast in Malaysia. And Venezuela. And Venezuela. We've been the number one English-speaking podcast in Venezuela since the day we started.
Thank you to Astrid's family.
What a way to start off a TCB infomercial with Ms.
Leslie Liao coming in today. Gosh, I'm so excited to talk to her.
Fresh off, I say fresh off, it was six months ago, fresh off her appearance on Jimmy Fallon. What a story this young lady has about how she came to be such a noted stand-up comic.
Super interesting.
It's really interesting. She started a little bit later in life. I mean, we'll talk about all this with her, but she started a little bit later in life. She was working for Netflix, where now some of her shit streams. How odd is that?
In HR.
In HR.
What was Leslie's experience like on The Tonight Show?
She was an HR person over at Netflix. And then she was doing stand-up comedy at night. And then all of the sudden, she becomes a superstar in 2023. She's on The Fallon Show. Now she's on Verified, which also has our friend Rosebud Baker. Yes. And if I'm not mistaken, is Blair Saki on that? I don't know. She might. Anyway, verified on Netflix. Go check it.
Verify what we're talking about.
Yeah, verify what we're talking about by going and watching Verified on Netflix. That's the only way you're going to get the accurate information from this stupid show. But Leslie is quite the little rising rocket in the comedy scene. And I'm so grateful that she's coming on the show today.
Me too.
Because she is fucking funny. You know, we do homework.
Oh, I know. I was watching her. She's totally like my brand of humor.
