Hi pussies, welcome back to Therapus. I am really, really, really tired today. I just got back from New York last night. I had a very fun time last week. My first episode of Hacks came out, which was so incredible. I watched it in bed and I was like, I seriously can't believe this is real. So I just wanted to say a quick thank you to Paul, Lucia and Jen for taking a chance on me and letting me be a part of their incredible show. And they also introduced me to the wonderful Meg Stalter, who is our guest tonight. She is so fantastic. We worked together on Hacks for the few days I was there, and she was just so welcoming and so lovely. I was such a huge fan of her before, and meeting her after just... made me an even bigger fan.
What is Meg Stalter's experience working on the show Hacks?
We didn't really touch on Hacks during the interview because I think I thought it was going to come out before and I didn't want to spoil the surprise, but she was so, so lovely to work with. She's so hysterical. She's such a pro and I just adore her. Everyone on that set was so wonderful. But yeah, I was in New York this week. I had a lot of fun. Yeah, I had a great, great time.

Wait, do you mean that?

Thank you. Is this my camera?
This is your camera.
Do you think I'm better than Dave Chappelle?
Yes. I do. I do.
Joan Rivers. Okay, no. You don't think it. It's different. It's a taste thing.
It's different.
Yeah. I'm not saying I'm better. I'm just asking you because you said all-time favorite.
You are my all-time favorite. No one makes me laugh harder.
except for Joan Rivers.
Well, no, Joan Rivers didn't make me, like, she made me laugh in kind of like a way, you know? It's like, I can't believe you said that.
She made you clutch your pearls.
Yeah, I clutched all my pearls.
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.
We were flirting all day, and then, do you remember, I left for Miami that night, and you had me text you every... hour and update on my travels.
Because I wanted to make sure you were safe the rest of the day. I was. And the rest of your life.
Hopefully I am. You will be. Oh, thank you. Well, how are you doing? I didn't have anything else to say. Anyway, I like the octopus. You like the octopus?
Yeah. I heard you on your podcast, the one that we're on, talking about different kinds of octopus that you can eat.
Oh, which podcast did you hear that on?
On the Katy Perry one.
Oh, okay, cool.
I actually did like everything you chose to put on your burrito, by the way.
Thank you so much. Thanks.
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.
