Everyone, and welcome back to another episode of the Comment Section Show starring me, your fave.
00:01:29.020
And today we have an icon, a legend, a hilarious, amazing podcast host and comedian,
00:01:44.120
I was telling you before, I was like, it's so cheap.
00:01:46.740
Thank you. I had no hand or part in decorating it whatsoever.
00:01:51.400
I will say, though, another episode I taped, the chairs were much smaller.
00:02:05.300
I wish I could take credit for it, but my amazing producers found it.
00:02:08.020
They're like, I found some better chairs. I'm like, period, switch them out.
00:02:15.920
I give you permission. You can steal it. That's fine.
00:02:31.560
Yeah. I guess you can tell where I was from my nails.
00:02:50.200
To be fair, like, to you, I was gifted the shirt.
00:02:55.060
Because I went with Beyonce's hair brand that she's coming out with.
00:03:13.680
I've gotten many questions about, like, what's it called?
00:03:23.140
But it's Beyonce, so I'm like, am I going to buy some hair?
00:03:32.100
Listen, I'm like, whatever she does, I'm cool with it.
00:03:36.060
She could tell me to eat my own fucking shoe, and I would do it.
00:03:41.700
But as a Virgo sister, I feel like we're connected in some way.
00:03:46.760
Listen, I'm glad that you got gifted it, too, because I was in line.
00:03:51.740
And I was waiting, and I was like, let me wait in the line still, like, see what's up.
00:03:57.140
And then my friend came up, and he was like, girl, let me check and see if these are even
00:04:12.080
But, you know, I got, that was my third time seeing it.
00:04:26.540
Well, listen, they're already pretty mute in Amsterdam.
00:04:37.240
But I feel like it was a lot of Americans that I, like, I was running into people.
00:04:42.880
Who were either visiting from New York or something.
00:04:45.240
I ran into a friend who I didn't even know was going to be there.
00:04:47.400
And I went over, actually, with, like, a large group of people.
00:04:55.340
Because, okay, so because I went with her brand team, I went into Club Renaissance for just
00:05:03.200
But when I went in there, I was, like, we were having so much fun.
00:05:12.740
Well, like, the celebs who were there, like, the ones with the taste.
00:05:17.380
They left the box that they were, like, you know, that elevated box.
00:05:25.460
Like, you know, like, Kylie was by us in Club Renaissance with her security guard.
00:05:41.640
Because I was, if you, you know, I was on the right at first.
00:05:48.780
But then once she went in the cuff it, we moved to the center.
00:05:55.960
Because I saw people, like, in videos and stuff.
00:05:58.680
I saw, like, oh, I saw these people in Club Renaissance.
00:06:06.520
But it was, I saw, I went back and looked at my video.
00:06:09.960
And I'm recording her during All Up In Your Mind, where she's sitting there.
00:06:17.760
And then if you look at, like, the videos from the concert where he's standing, he's,
00:06:27.320
Like, I don't want to watch the show from back there.
00:06:30.460
Like, that's why I, like, I wasn't going to go at first.
00:06:33.680
But then some of the brand people were like, you got to get the experience.
00:06:46.380
I remember, like, when she came on my side and she was, like, right in front of me.
00:06:51.500
Like, with, like, tears in my eyes watching her.
00:06:54.040
And I was, like, holding my phone because I was trying to record.
00:06:56.200
But I literally wasn't recording the whole time.
00:06:58.300
And when I saw I wasn't, I was like, ah, ah, ah.
00:07:00.520
But I, like, started recording really fast because I was like, I'm going to miss it because
00:07:04.880
That was me when, like, halfway through the show, my phone stopped recording because it was,
00:07:22.220
You go in that little bar that tells you what's holding the most.
00:07:36.080
Honestly, like, I would have seen her ten more times.
00:07:40.100
Like, I saw her on Saturday, the Saturday before, and then I saw her on Monday.
00:07:44.520
And I was, like, it was, like, I was reliving it all over again.
00:07:49.620
The worst part is every concert in America is always the getting in, the getting out.
00:08:00.940
Getting out is, like, truly, it's, like, it's inching.
00:08:04.840
You're walking up, and you're just, like, my shoes are off.
00:08:11.340
I took them off, because I was in, like, a little Chelsea boot.
00:08:17.160
Listen, I ripped them off halfway through the show.
00:08:21.340
If you're really getting down in there, you have to.
00:08:26.100
Also, my ASOS pants, the chrome pants, I got ripped, like, right there in the cross.
00:08:37.800
I was, like, I remember when I went to the first show, I wore, like, a really cute little
00:08:43.760
heel, and I was, like, I'm for sure not wearing these into SoFi.
00:08:48.340
So, I, like, took my pictures before and captured my content, and then I was, like, okay, outfit
00:08:54.300
picture's done, and I brought, like, a Croc slide, and I was, like, I'm just going to
00:09:00.020
I just wore them right in there, and as I was walking in, I remembered I have white tennis
00:09:09.020
And then the second time I went, I was going to wear the Croc in again, and then my sister
00:09:14.100
was, like, dude, like, you're going, like, with a brand, like, they might take more pictures
00:09:18.860
And the heel I wore that night was a lot lower, a lot more comfy, and it was, like, a thick
00:09:24.920
So, she was, like, I think you can last in those.
00:09:26.800
She was, like, but bring the shoes, like, so you could change.
00:09:29.600
After everything's done and the concert starts, and I surely did.
00:09:33.800
As soon as she, the lights went off, I sat down, took off my shoes, put on my Croc.
00:09:44.640
Even some of the, like, a concert I went to before, I brought, like, socks with me
00:09:49.840
in case I wanted to, like, I didn't have an extra shoe, it wouldn't fit in my purse, I
00:09:54.480
just bring a little pair of socks, and at least I'm not walking barefoot.
00:10:00.600
I love how we could just talk about Beyonce the whole time.
00:10:07.300
Every day, every friend, every party is just talking about it.
00:10:10.800
I'm like, somebody asked me about it so I can talk about it.
00:10:27.400
I have been a huge fan of yours for a very long time.
00:10:37.180
You were one of my favorite people to follow on Twitter.
00:10:47.880
Because that's when I liked it was when it was Twitter.
00:11:02.480
And you're just shooting off something quick and then just moving on.
00:11:18.680
I think what I loved most about Twitter is like it's just.
00:12:33.840
Just basically made fun of what he looked like.
00:12:49.400
I would have gotten flagged on many other platforms.
00:13:00.760
Sometimes like they'll purposely antagonize me on TikTok.
00:13:03.720
Because that's like obviously like my main platform.
00:13:20.860
Because I don't want to give them attention on the platform they want it from.
00:13:32.140
And then they have to go over there and find it.
00:13:50.940
I like when you just throw successful in front of it.
00:14:23.280
Well I'm glad everyone else has said the same thing.
00:14:30.880
I think that's another thing I love about every single guest.
00:14:36.460
Every single one I've had has always been like.
00:15:10.900
Well far before like podcasts really like took off.
00:15:15.420
I mean listen when we were when we first launched and we're like a pop culture podcast
00:15:19.900
or like maybe NPR had one or like you know a couple others and it was really like the
00:15:30.900
And you know we're always on the top of the charts.
00:15:33.620
Now it's like hovering like you know like 10, 12.
00:15:39.340
But it's like you know but there's just there's so many pop culture podcasts.
00:16:02.740
The fact that some like horrible men are just like people want to hear my thoughts.
00:16:11.460
It's funny because if you think about it you're like do people really want to hear this.
00:16:15.960
I don't always talk because people want to hear my thoughts.
00:16:22.080
Like that thought of like that's crazy you guys want to hear me talk for an hour.
00:16:29.260
And this woman was like just asking me questions about like things I had said.
00:16:31.920
And I was like I've done this for six years right.
00:16:34.680
I'm like I record something and then it is immediately out my brain.
00:16:40.340
So you bring up something like oh you said this on the show like you know in March like
00:16:55.700
I feel that you know what's so funny is like I've only been doing this for a year now a
00:17:01.300
year and a half going on two and I'm closing in on a hundred episodes.
00:17:16.800
We're six years and we're only nearing episode 300.
00:17:23.920
Every Tuesday morning and then that's it about the door.
00:17:34.160
I think for me like even with like obviously I record so often and I was like reading when
00:17:43.120
my show used to exist on a different platform when there were comments they were like someone
00:17:48.400
was like I loved you so much but like sometimes I feel like she repeats stories.
00:17:52.120
I'm like girl you try talking for almost a hundred episodes you're going to start repeating
00:17:56.920
I feel like so sometimes like me and my co-host Liz Vertel like we will we will be talking
00:18:02.160
and it's so funny like I said don't remember things but it's sometimes we'll be talking
00:18:06.560
and like I feel like this week he was like like and I feel like I've told you this story
00:18:11.400
And I'm like or have I said this before and it's if you're a diehard fan who has listened
00:18:17.820
to all 300 episodes of this show then I'm sorry but I guarantee the majority of people
00:18:26.020
listening to this particular one do not remember or never heard that story in the first place
00:18:36.180
Where do you find the comment section the comment section.
00:18:39.680
To be the best because for me which is very crazy that it's YouTube for me because I feel
00:18:52.440
But when we upload our episodes to YouTube like yeah I feel like the people who watch them
00:18:58.100
except for like very big ones like you know we just had a we just had a big one because
00:19:02.200
we had you know like Brittany Broski on you know and that was like all her fans were watching.
00:19:07.720
But like our regular one is just like the regular fans who watch it every week.
00:19:12.820
And they just like they love commenting and I'm like that's sweet.
00:19:17.400
They're all very nice and they're all like fans of the show.
00:19:20.720
It doesn't cross over into people who don't watch it.
00:19:27.280
Because you're not going to sit there and watch you know like an hour hour and a half
00:19:33.660
I would say for me well for my other podcast with my sister I would say YouTube is for
00:19:42.660
And you're right like it's like the way that they're so like in it with you like they feel
00:19:49.000
like they're part of all your inside jokes and like there's all these different things
00:19:53.160
like that they can these little isms that you say and then they start adopting them
00:19:59.420
And they just love it so much and they love you so much.
00:20:01.620
So yeah I totally agree with that especially with my other podcasts.
00:20:05.140
I think for my own socials it's probably Instagram.
00:20:16.800
I did have a reel though do really well on there and god damn that shit turned into
00:20:23.280
It got like overrun like I mean it's still like 98 too but like when they're just like
00:20:31.240
constant it's like it's just every white guy on this face of the planet found this and
00:20:36.760
he was like has anyone tried calling this bitch fat?
00:20:38.780
Like it's just like every single one of them gained consciousness and then saw me and then
00:20:44.960
they were like I'm going to write how fucking fat this bitch is and then they sent it to
00:20:50.360
So I would say like reels don't know about that but I would say for me personally probably
00:20:57.580
Because TikTok's like my biggest one but that's also my most like controversial ones.
00:21:04.220
And you're right as far as like the algorithm goes because obviously like on TikTok it's like
00:21:08.300
very randomized so you'll the odds of someone coming across you and they've never heard of you
00:21:30.860
So like every the concert and I watch every minute of it.
00:21:35.880
I watch it and I'm like oh my god she's so funny.
00:21:49.880
And then I get the occasional like cooking or organizing.
00:21:54.600
I do get cooking stuff because I do love a little cooking moment.
00:21:58.220
And like a lot of sometimes some like get ready with me looks.
00:22:08.860
I'm like I didn't need to see your lacoste face.
00:22:13.460
I was going to say the white girls love to get ready with me.
00:22:21.520
That's why I'm like even like those silent little like spend the day with me things.
00:22:28.460
And then they do the products really loud in front of it.
00:22:40.100
I've tried making some and I'm like this is my work.
00:22:57.620
To be fair like even with mine like even now like I do this for a fucking living like
00:23:05.460
I'm like an internet clown for a living and I do TikTok obviously but when I film videos
00:23:11.520
at different events like if I'm trying to like film content from whatever and I'm working
00:23:17.480
with other like creators they're like oh yeah like do you want me to film your videos?
00:23:22.300
I'm like no it's okay because I like I'm like the only person on planet earth that
00:23:31.580
They film outside and then they stitch them together.
00:23:35.400
I mean I've done it when I had to do like brand deals and stuff.
00:23:37.960
Maybe that would be easier because I you know I try to record on video and I'm like.
00:23:43.840
It gets a little complicated and like overwhelming because it's like am I on the jaw?
00:23:50.420
Like I'm not doing this shit like too much work.
00:24:00.280
That's why I'm like I have always filmed in the app.
00:24:03.400
Now it like depends but like 90% of the time I'm filming in the app and the way that other
00:24:10.860
I'm like that's what I've always done girl and it worked for me so whatever I don't
00:24:24.860
And I also feel like too for my content like in the beginning I would say like 90% of my
00:24:33.740
Like I had like a little pop socket on the back and I would just stick it in my steering
00:24:37.860
wheel and then I would just like film myself talking to myself for a fucking hour and then
00:24:42.420
I'd be like that seems funny and then I'd post it.
00:24:53.000
When they gave me that three minute feature I said it's over for you now.
00:25:11.260
I know I feel like you remember that video of Addison Rae.
00:25:18.240
She was like teaching the Laker girls how to do a TikTok.
00:25:41.260
Today our topic with Sir Ira is being an extremely talented, hilarious, successful, and hot podcast
00:25:55.240
It is something that is something across we bear.
00:26:00.000
Basically how many like how so many misogynistic men have poisoned the world of podcasting
00:26:05.300
which even you said when you started yours like it wasn't nearly as saturated as it is
00:26:11.660
I feel like that's one of those things where it's like the gift of access.
00:26:18.240
Sometimes I question it when I see those that have microphones and a platform.
00:26:24.240
I think to myself was that a good thing to give people the access?
00:26:29.180
The knowledge of how to like post content publicly.
00:26:36.800
It's like truly just like a bald white dude is like I fucking hate fat women.
00:26:42.740
And maybe I should buy a mic and record this and post it publicly.
00:26:54.700
But I feel like even when you started your podcast did you notice that there- like you
00:26:59.620
said a lot of pop culture ones like sprouted after- especially after the pandemic I feel
00:27:04.220
But did you notice that there were- was there more niche podcasts or was there more- because
00:27:09.580
my understanding of podcasts prior to like you know starting my own or like being in the
00:27:13.760
world of entertainment was like more so business.
00:27:17.920
Like it was like business advice, life coaching.
00:27:23.040
I mean I feel like you know there's a lot of like comedy ones and pop culture ones.
00:27:28.700
You know it's just you know if you're a comedian or something.
00:27:32.120
But when you started yours I feel like it was mostly just like NPR type deal.
00:27:38.020
And so then like after you started yours obviously there was like a huge spike in it.
00:27:49.220
Have you noticed like a shift other than the like you know commonality of like there
00:27:55.380
Like have you noticed a really big change in the world?
00:27:58.960
Like has there been some like adapting you've had to do or you kind of just like have been
00:28:03.800
setting the course and that's why it's doing well?
00:28:19.960
Have you guys seen stuff like that with like whether they're social media people or newer
00:28:25.000
But I think mixing in like more social media people you know and it helps that like the
00:28:28.860
strike has happened too so you know people can't come on and promote but you know it's
00:28:32.020
like the show is really big with you know like you know like can we get this big celebrity
00:28:36.920
But then it's like oh well maybe we should also just get someone who is very good at
00:28:41.280
social media like has an audience, a following and like it's interesting to talk to too.
00:28:45.920
And that is also a different kind of guest you know?
00:28:49.320
Well you can tell me how you feel but like this is how I feel like you know when your
00:28:54.220
show is like obviously you have two hosts right?
00:28:58.220
Like I do that on my other show too and like this show is obviously very guest driven for
00:29:02.960
me and I feel like do you feel picky with guests?
00:29:05.920
Especially now that you're doing it for six years.
00:29:09.040
We're very picky but yeah we just love different kinds of guests so it's fun.
00:29:13.940
I feel like sometimes like even with me I've made it very very clear like from the very
00:29:19.720
beginning of the show that I never wanted to have anyone that was like not aligned with
00:29:29.840
But I just mean like someone who like wants to debate.
00:29:49.940
Leos don't put their energy into anything that they are disinterested in.
00:30:02.340
Very I don't want to be in a situation where I'm not enjoying myself.
00:30:11.500
I know I feel like when I've had that conversation because you know when I post my content you
00:30:16.400
know there's always men who are like why don't you try inviting someone to debate and
00:30:31.220
Well I'm not going to debate the livelihood of other people.
00:30:59.460
But it's always fun because we're going back and forth on like a new album when it comes
00:31:29.780
I'm like I said this on my other podcast with my sister but I'm like I think her and Beyonce
00:31:36.260
I would never compare any human on this earth to Beyonce ever.
00:31:48.060
You're like what's it like to be so wrong all the time?
00:31:56.460
Like no human on this earth holds a candle to her and that's just the facts.
00:32:01.240
But I think that Taylor is really great at what she does.
00:33:16.780
I'm the only person who likes him on planet fucking Earth.
00:33:34.100
I think he had a quote recently something about doing the Super Bowl or something.
00:33:39.200
And I think he was like, he'd do it like if he was like paired with like some other people.
00:33:43.840
I think he's like, I don't even know if I'm like a Super Bowl before.
00:33:49.800
I remember I saw something about him where he said like he was behind the scenes for so
00:33:54.800
long, like just writing for other people for so long because like they said they could
00:34:00.500
But then he like didn't want to keep giving up songs that he loved.
00:34:34.380
It was worth spending money on either or just sort of like, I don't know what I like
00:34:39.080
if I would be like vibing with like the Etcher and fan, you know?
00:34:44.960
Is it cultivated for someone who looks like me?
00:35:19.700
You had the free food, the champagnes, the platter, the buffet.
00:35:33.880
Honestly, that's the only way I would see him, too.
00:35:55.820
So what you meant was, I don't know if I would see him again.
00:36:27.360
Let me tell you, the pizza at the stadium in Vegas was so damn good.
00:36:54.720
That is so funny you say that because Coachella, they have a pizza booth there.
00:37:44.240
I'm in the fucking dust bowl and I'm eating ramen.
00:38:01.540
I don't do spice when there's just port-a-potties around.
00:38:20.660
Because you go to Coachella, you go to Coachella and you're there like, you're there all day.
00:38:30.060
When I get that spice, like when I went to Coachella this year, I got the pie, the spicy pie, every fucking time I ate.
00:38:43.340
And the second day I went, I went to the spicy pie booth again.
00:38:47.820
And then the girl was like, you were here yesterday.
00:38:49.460
And I was like, first of all, what did I ever do to you?
00:38:53.860
There's a lot of people in Coachella, so why are you checking for me?
00:39:06.160
And not any fan I want if you're clocking me and how many slices I get.
00:39:13.140
It's always, let him take a picture and not, you want a free slice of pizza?
00:39:20.000
I started sending my boyfriend and my brother-in-law because I was sick of it.
00:39:23.580
I was like, and she didn't even, she had no idea who the fuck I was, I don't think.
00:39:26.760
She just felt the need to tell me that she remembered me.
00:39:48.000
You don't even know I haven't seen the daylight.
00:39:52.520
But, so, I had COVID on my birthday last month.
00:39:58.540
Uh, and my friend went to this restaurant in the West Village.
00:40:05.060
Uh, and he got me this soup called, like, a ribletta soup.
00:40:11.520
And it's like, all I, it was like a soup cleanse.
00:40:17.940
But, like, I went to the restaurant for, like, lunch on Wednesday.
00:40:25.120
And I was like, I want to try the soup in the restaurant.
00:40:28.840
But the vibes were not giving, like, I couldn't have soup on, like, a 90, on a 98 degree
00:40:38.160
But if it's so rainy, if it's chilly, like, maybe I'll get myself some soup tonight.
00:40:54.860
I was like, that's like your, your treat, your reward for the day.
00:41:02.740
When you're saying that spice, like, you need a little safety in your home.
00:41:12.540
Are you lactose intolerant or dairy intolerant at all?
00:41:15.760
I don't, I don't really have allergies, but I feel like I should, I'm fine with, like,
00:41:24.180
Sometimes I do feel like, you know, like, maybe we need to ease up on it.
00:41:28.000
Because sometimes I feel like it does fuck with you.
00:41:34.180
I feel like sometimes I should do one of those, like, food sensitivity tests or something.
00:41:50.860
And probably what I will leave here is that the ads go off.
00:41:55.300
I have, like, a lactose intolerance I've been ignoring for a while, or trying anyway.
00:42:02.100
It's developed severely over the last, like, three years.
00:42:05.860
But I was like, I don't like that part about getting older.
00:42:16.160
We got to do that if you eat all the spicy pizza.
00:42:18.560
Well, I like to shit my pants, so that's different.
00:42:24.360
But I feel like even with my lactose intolerance, like, it just, like, got worse as I got older.
00:42:30.420
I, like, don't give a fuck about getting old at all.
00:42:38.340
Like, you're just developing new things that you can't have anymore.
00:42:43.900
You're like, oh, if I do that, then my stomach will hurt, and then I won't be able to get up tomorrow morning.
00:42:48.560
Like, planning for your meals around how it's going to make your stomach feel the next day.
00:42:53.600
It's something I did not think was going to happen when you got older.
00:42:56.380
Listen, that happened to me when, like, so, like, I remember when Chipotle debuted.
00:43:05.000
And it debuted, like, it was right around, on campus in Chicago.
00:43:13.560
And then for a while, it started, like, affecting my stomach.
00:43:16.340
I was like, whatever spice, whatever is in this is not for me to be eating.
00:43:23.280
But recently, I was, like, I was just really craving that chicken bowl that I love.
00:43:33.820
Maybe it was, like, that period where I was having it, wasn't really rocking with it.
00:43:44.860
Like, you pick a meal and you're like, that's my meal.
00:43:47.900
And then you eat it for, like, a week straight.
00:43:49.500
And then you're like, oh, my God, I never want to see that meal ever again.
00:43:55.740
I mean, listen, I saw y'all eating, like, your sweet grain earlier.
00:44:01.960
I used to have the chicken parm salad bowl for sweet grain.
00:44:15.220
I actually, that actually wasn't my sweet grain.
00:44:30.280
Especially with sweet grain, I feel like they have such specific flavors in their stuff
00:44:44.020
Bitch, I'll door dash that thing to my front door.
00:44:46.640
I need to be walking to the Panera more because I still have my Panera card from when I worked
00:44:53.380
in the mall in Milwaukee, like, in high school.
00:44:56.100
I have my Panera card, but, you know, you can't use your cards on DoorDash.
00:45:07.860
Can you give them my phone number so I can get points?
00:45:22.400
Do you think that door is just going to be like, oh, go to hell.
00:45:32.980
Since COVID, I've always had my just leave at the door instruction.
00:45:48.580
Most of the time it's like, because I've just gotten in the shower or something.
00:45:51.380
And I'm like, just leave it there so it's there when I come out.
00:46:01.180
I'd rather you do that than the interaction, to be honest.
00:46:12.660
My sister lived in New York for a while, for a little bit.
00:46:20.040
And she told me this story about she, like, door dashed pizza to her place.
00:46:24.760
And she said when she got it, like, all of the cheese, because she's vegan, so it's like a vegan pizza.
00:46:31.780
She said all of the, like, cheese they put on it, literally all of it was off of the pizza completely, because he had folded it in half, and shoved it in his backpack, and rode his bike there, and then dropped it off.
00:46:49.200
She's like, just forget it, when she's on the pizza.
00:46:52.980
It's like, you're looking forward to it, you have a really bad day, and then you door dash a meal, and you're like, ooh, I can't wait to get it.
00:46:59.420
And then they fuck it up, and you're like, ugh.
00:47:04.720
No, I, maybe, I had, I was at a friend's house for, like, a party.
00:47:13.040
I accidentally ordered it to my apartment, and not my friend's place.
00:47:19.480
And so, I got an Uber, and I called the Uber driver, and I said, here is the code to my building.
00:47:31.400
Walk in, grab the pizza, and then please deliver it to this place.
00:47:42.220
But I was like, please get this pizza from my front doorstep.
00:47:46.800
If you don't bring it, I don't know what I'll do.
00:47:52.180
I feel like there are certain places I don't order from anymore, because they never put my
00:47:56.700
sauce in there, and I swear to fucking God, if I don't have the sauce, I can't eat it.
00:48:17.760
Especially when I got home from the Beyonce concert.
00:48:20.400
I, the first one, I ordered Del Taco, that's the only thing that's open.
00:48:23.240
By the time I get home, it's like four in the morning.
00:48:25.380
So like, I get home, I'm like, oh my God, I'm starving.
00:48:28.660
So I order that, and I wait up for it, because I'm so hungry.
00:48:33.380
And so I'm like sitting there, like barely eyes open, and then they finally drop it off.
00:48:41.980
They, they do that for like Taco Bell sometimes too.
00:48:44.440
And you know what, that's what, what, that, you know what you need to do.
00:48:51.700
You know, like, I don't know if Del Taco has their own, but like, Taco Bell has like
00:49:06.200
You know which one I, I refuse to order from anymore, because they never, no matter how
00:49:11.000
many times, I'm like, please make sure you ask for the sauce.
00:49:18.920
I swear to God, they play in my fucking face all the time.
00:49:22.520
They, they trick me and they lie to me and I fall for it every time.
00:49:25.820
But that Mardi Gras mustard is like one of my favorite sauces of all time.
00:49:32.220
Otherwise, I would buy it and put it in my house.
00:49:34.260
But that one, I'm like, fuck Popeyes, I'm not ordering from there.
00:49:40.260
You gotta link up with somebody who works there.
00:49:42.340
And just be like, just give me, give me some packets.
00:49:49.160
Also, with all the dry shit they got going on there, they're trying to kill me.
00:49:57.700
Just be like, Popeyes, get her some Mardi Gras mustard.
00:50:03.260
Popeyes, if you're ever interested, please let me know.
00:50:08.300
Listen, one time I had the worst day ever and I just really wanted Popeyes.
00:50:24.160
You know, you set up your stage and you don't start your show yet.
00:50:38.440
And I was like, are you fucking kidding me, bro?
00:50:53.500
Like they put, like Taco Bell, I had had it the other week or whatever.
00:51:06.180
And I swap out sometimes either a quesadilla or like a burrito.
00:51:14.240
But Taco Bell has an option to put sauce packets.
00:51:30.380
You made me take an extra step to add extra sauce.
00:51:47.680
If I get like multiple things, I always put six.
00:51:58.340
I'm literally requiring you to send me the sauce every night.
00:52:03.160
I love when they just like, they just fucking raw dog a whole bunch of them and they just
00:52:28.960
I'm spending extra money to bring it to my door.
00:52:42.700
You get like a, I think it's like a birthday pastry or cookie.
00:52:51.040
When I do, when I've door-dashed like a Starbucks in the morning.
00:52:59.920
That's what I drink with like oat milk, ice-shaken espresso.
00:53:03.780
There is a Starbucks a block from me, but you know what it is.
00:53:11.140
Like the fancy one where it's like, you know, they got affogados and they got, you know,
00:53:15.440
like their little like deli in there with like sandwiches where it's like feta, pumpernickel.
00:53:32.620
And they were like, oh, we actually don't have that drink here.
00:53:38.140
And I was like, well, I've never come back in here.
00:53:45.460
That's, that's, that's not what I, that's, that's not.
00:53:47.760
Well, if you want the fancy shit, you'll just go somewhere else.
00:53:51.660
There's thousands of coffee shops here in New York.
00:53:56.140
So they actually did open up a very new, like, it's called like this.
00:54:04.080
But, um, they opened up a very chic, like, new, uh, coffee shop.
00:54:10.180
Do it across the street from me right now, too.
00:54:12.100
So I go to that for like some espresso over ice.
00:54:25.620
You're like, you want that little sippy cup top.
00:54:40.720
Back to being extremely talented, hilarious, successful, and hot podcast hosts.
00:54:44.860
Which technically we've been showcasing that because we've just been talking.
00:54:49.700
So we're going to read some descriptions of some of these videos that I was tagged in in
00:54:56.380
So this first one says, the men hosting this podcast say, uh, body count does matter.
00:55:02.700
And ask one of the women who is guest co-hosting, what's your body count?
00:55:08.180
And she says, well, I'm going to be shamed for this.
00:55:14.580
And so the comments are very, very, very unhappy about that.
00:55:30.240
The way that they talk about it sounds like they're killing people.
00:55:34.360
The phrase is, I was like, are we Jeffrey Donner here?
00:55:38.460
The way that they like, the way they demonize it is like you're killing people.
00:55:52.980
They get dropped on my doorstep like a dead bird every time.
00:55:58.780
Once again, I think it just goes back to what we were talking about, which is like, do people
00:56:07.580
I should do an episode with Louis where I just ask him like straight male podcast questions.
00:56:25.560
Just talk about like what women bring to the table.
00:56:42.960
This one says, almost had a heart attack hearing that number.
00:57:00.800
This next one says, nobody wants a ran through partner.
00:57:27.360
And this last one says, I'm never getting in another committed relationship again.
00:57:32.340
I don't think that's your choice, to be honest.
00:57:39.500
It's like when men see like really, really hot, famous women like Zendaya.
00:58:06.620
I feel like when men congregate like this and they're little like hidey holes like rats.
00:58:17.120
I feel like it's just like a never-ending like circle jerk of like, they're just validating
00:58:22.300
each other's like bigoted thoughts and feelings.
00:58:26.520
And it's just like one big echo chamber and like nothing's ever-
00:58:32.580
Like, because they like chew it up for something.
00:58:38.460
I just feel like nothing ever gets accomplished.
00:58:42.760
Like, you're just shouting at each other around a table in a fucking bubble and like what happens
00:58:55.280
When I do it, I contribute to the ether in some very, very monumental way.
00:59:11.000
And Hart, the one with the bad power from Planeteers.
00:59:21.960
I was talking about how unbelievable it is that a lot of fast food places don't give
00:59:30.440
And entertaining than listening to a bitch talk about why he's, like, involuntarily celibate.
00:59:51.700
Now that's a podcast I'm going to tune into, girl.
00:59:55.140
Like, you telling me that you guys argue every time Taylor Swift drops a new album.
00:59:58.500
That's far and away much more entertaining to me and funny and hilarious and, like, warm
01:00:04.940
and awesome than listening to men be like, well, you wouldn't buy a car with a million
01:00:10.800
I'm like, well, you don't even own a car, so I don't think you have bigger problems.
01:00:32.480
I'm going to start asking people their sauce count now.
01:00:36.480
What do you say when you get that little option and you have that little number ticker?
01:00:46.320
When people say two, I'm like, you're out of your fucking mind.
01:00:57.000
I need, and I need backups in case one of them, one of them squirts out too fast and they
01:01:11.140
That's like when you're like, you're eating so desperately that you're like, just opening
01:01:22.940
And so I'll just like, you just drag it around the paper, pick it up.
01:01:33.200
To wrap up, what would you say is your best piece of advice for aspiring, very sexy,
01:01:46.980
hot, cool, intelligent, amazing, so incredibly popular and contributing podcast hosts?
01:02:02.840
I mean, listen, because, you know, of six years in the comment section, you know, there's
01:02:07.340
been people, you know, who didn't like me, but the people who do stay with you.
01:02:13.300
And the people who don't like you, I guess they're still listening because they find a
01:02:22.720
Like ones you recognize back in the day or even now?
01:02:27.420
But also, like, your brain just seems to expel information as soon as it's processed.
01:02:33.660
It's just like, my, you know what's so funny is my-
01:02:44.000
Like, the way that he has zero memory of literally anything from, like, 24 hours or
01:02:54.920
The only thing I remember is that I want some soup.
01:03:07.880
I joke that he, like, when he lays down at night, he, like, plugs in his brain and it
01:03:12.640
just, like, wipes it of all information that is not important.
01:03:16.100
Like, someone will tell him something and he's like, that's not important.
01:03:27.220
Well, I think that was standard quality advice.
01:03:31.160
But most importantly, know what your sauce count is.
01:03:41.580
I have backup sauces, but they're just not the same.
01:04:16.460
I love that we could talk just about literally anything for an hour.
01:04:25.620
Me not knowing literally anything about New York.
01:04:34.060
She was like, I put 44 with a bunch of question marks.
01:04:51.600
And for those of you at home, where can everybody find you?
01:04:56.540
You know, it's on wherever you get your podcasts.
01:05:01.580
And also, my newsletter, iramadison.substack.com.
01:05:17.200
I'll probably write a full essay about that soup.
01:05:25.340
I'm paying Beyonce's bills, and I'm paying Bartusi's bills.
01:05:28.940
You're like, Plankton's still a formula, girl, for the soup.
01:05:54.420
At this point, I'm just watching it like sink, you know?
01:06:13.500
