00:11:25.180I had three kids in diapers for the better part of a decade, three kids in diapers at once, because I have a baby as soon as the older one got out of diapers.
00:11:36.020And so, you know, kids don't sleep through the night.
00:11:38.240I mean, it was it was very difficult physically.
00:11:41.700But what got me through it was doing that writing, having to do a chapter, having to have that chapter finished by Friday.
00:11:48.720It made me get up a little earlier in the morning.
00:11:51.660It made me keep the kids on a schedule so I could have that nap time to do my writing.
00:11:56.340And I, I really believe that it, I was a better mom for the fact that I had those writing
00:12:15.640Um, so it was just my brother and I, but she stayed at home until I think we were in grade
00:12:20.100seven. And then she became a massage therapist, went to massage school like full time. But I had,
00:12:25.740I think what happened to me was I was in university, I had Scarlett, and then I stayed
00:12:30.040home for a period of time, like when she was really, really little. And I didn't,
00:12:37.580I felt guilty doing anything that didn't have, that seemed like it didn't have anything to do
00:12:41.960with her. So at that point it was just like any type of writing or like blog stuff. I think I was
00:12:47.260just writing a blog at that point or working for my dad. I was like, and I think it was partly
00:12:52.680some people around me who were like, Oh, you should be only staying at home. And then there
00:12:58.540were the other people who were like, you're wasting your life because you're only staying at
00:13:02.640home. But how do you like, do you have suggestions or anything for, I guess, mothers who are trying
00:13:11.020to figure out how much time they should be spending on themselves when they have little kids?
00:13:15.440Yeah. And that's what, you know, you mentioned that sketch I did about traditional mothers, and that was exactly the point that I was making in that sketch. So to give you a little bit of background to lead into my answer to what you just asked. So I had the benefit of, I guess it was about 15 years ago at this point.
00:13:34.780I interviewed some relatives of mine who were born in around like 1910, 1912, and they were
00:13:41.880in their late nineties at the time. And I just asked them about life. I didn't even know what
00:13:47.320I was getting at, but we just, we did some video. We set up the old heavy camcorder and videoed
00:13:53.340this. And at the time I had just had a baby. And so I didn't intend for these to be interviews
00:13:59.220about motherhood, but I was so stressed out because my kid didn't sleep through the night.
00:14:03.200and I just was really maxed out about it. So that's just where my mind went. And I ended up
00:14:09.120asking my grandfather and then his, his cousin and some of these other people I talked to, I
00:14:13.940parenthood just kept coming up. And one of the things that was very clear to me and keep in
00:14:19.260mind, these people, you know, they were in their twenties in the 1920s and thirties. So they knew
00:14:24.540people as adults who lived in the 1800s. I mean, they were really connected to an old, old way of
00:14:30.140life. And one of the things they emphasized is how busy mothers were. I mean, when you think
00:14:36.140about it, I've been joking about this on my podcast. If your kids wanted chicken nuggets
00:14:40.780anytime before, like the past 50 years, it was up to you to take it from chicken to nugget.
00:14:47.760That was all on you. And think about how time consuming that is. You're slaughtering animals.
00:14:52.780You're doing all that stuff to dress them. You're chopping it up. I mean, this to just get dinner on0.68
00:14:58.060the table was an hours long process. And so when you look at the history of humanity, when you look
00:15:05.220at human evolution, it simply could not be the case that human children have evolved to need
00:15:12.760their mother's attention for all or even 90 or even 80% of her waking hours, because the work
00:15:20.260of survival was very, very time consuming for our female ancestors. And that's the principle that
00:15:27.180I've always used in my home. Of course, your kids need to be your priority and they, they need your
00:15:33.360attention and they need focused attention, but this is not all day, every day. It couldn't be
00:15:38.880because that's what I said in that, in that sketch that you saw traditional mothers were busy. And so0.54
00:15:44.180if you are busy doing your, you're writing a book, that's similar to your ancestors who were busy
00:15:50.400going, slaughtering animals, like getting them ready for cooking. The work you're doing is
00:15:55.240different, but the time commitment is about the same. Okay. That's interesting. I guess
00:16:01.260some people, I think, I think this was an incorrect way of the way I was thinking about it,
00:16:05.960but it was because it didn't have anything to do. You know, it was work, but it wasn't work for the
00:16:10.900kids. So if you're like trying to survive and chopping wood and slaughtering chickens, then
00:16:15.540it's like, okay, that's directly for the family. But I know I certainly felt better when I had time
00:16:21.900put aside for work. Cause I'm like, I'm very, you know, work oriented fulfills me. You find a
00:16:26.640project to work on and it's great. Right. Uh, so it was tricky though. I definitely had a hard time
00:16:32.900being like, no, even though I'm doing something that isn't related to that, it's okay.
00:16:38.640Yeah. It was like deeply ingrained in me as the wrong thing to do.
00:16:41.980Yep. And I think we all struggle with that, that there, yeah, of course there is a question of,
00:16:47.440okay, I don't have to write this book the way my great grandmother had to wash the clothes
00:16:53.460because everyone only had three pairs of clothes. But to me, it seems like I don't think it matters
00:17:00.500as much to your children what work you're doing. I think it just feels natural that, yeah, mom has
00:17:08.160stuff going on. And for our ancestors, that might've been washing clothes out on the washboard.
00:17:13.260For us, it might be writing, but I don't think that it, that it matters to the children as long
00:17:20.200as they know that you, that they are your priorities. Certainly there can be cases if,
00:17:27.160you know, if someone were to become obsessed with the work that they're doing and they just
00:17:31.180neglect their kids and they're, they're not there for their kids' needs and they don't care because
00:17:35.080all they care about is this work that they're doing. Certainly that would be a problem and
00:17:38.920those things can happen. But I think, um, I just, I never felt like it mattered that much,
00:17:45.480whether I was slaughtering chickens or writing either way, I, I don't have time to sit down for
00:17:51.320three hours in the middle of the day and, and only focus on crafts or whatever. And, um, and,
00:17:57.940and it, it re I, and I also think that when we compare ourselves like you did to some of the
00:18:03.860women. And I did this too. Of course, we all know the moms who were like, well, I just,
00:18:08.420I'm just focused on my children. So I, I, I do glitter, glitter crafts for five hours every day
00:18:14.860is that, you know, home is my priority. Well, what I've noticed in my years of, of watching
00:18:20.820parents is these women are following their passions too. They have found that blue flame.
00:18:26.440They are doing things that energize and inspire them too. It just so happens that their skills
00:18:32.140have more of a natural translation to home life. They're the kind of women who, if they didn't have
00:18:38.100kids, they might work in a daycare or do work at a kid's camp or something because they have a
00:18:43.740natural affinity to working with children. And so a lot of times I would say, okay, you guys are
00:18:49.620getting unfair credit there. You're doing the same thing I am. You're following your passion.
00:18:54.220You're doing things that inspire you. It just so happens that what inspires you is organizing the
00:18:59.700kitchen cabinets perfectly. And I couldn't care less about my kitchen cabinets. I'm doing writing,
00:19:04.340but we are both doing things that energize and inspire us in a given day.
00:19:08.680I like that. I like that. Okay. So, uh, I saw on your Instagram stories a few days ago,
00:19:14.800I think you posted about your parents and how you've been structuring your comedy shows and
00:19:20.360you had a whole bunch of spreadsheets up. Yes. So I want to get into that again. Cause I was like,
00:19:24.680that is something I would do. That's really cool. Not a lot of people can relate to that,
00:19:30.760but I knew it's funny. I figured that that would resonate with you. And I so appreciate that
00:19:36.400because most people think I'm crazy and I, and I'm so naive. It comes so naturally
00:19:41.480to do things like, so I put my whole standup comedy set in a conditionally formatted Google
00:19:50.000sheet and the conditional formatting is when I put in times between laughs and then the different
00:19:55.000laugh level at the different punchlines, it automatically color codes it that a laugh of
00:19:59.680three or above is red. A laugh at a two is orange. A laugh at a one or below is gray. So I can see
00:20:05.900visually when, when I pull up my set, I can see the visual of how it's doing. And then the time
00:20:11.860between laughs and it was great. I could scroll through it and say, Oh, wait a minute. There's a
00:20:16.000lot of gray in this area, meaning time between laughs. So I thought, okay, I have some good
00:20:21.160jokes there, but this is showing me visually that this is a weak part of my standup comedy set.
00:20:27.040And one of my friends was just speechless when I showed him this. And he said, yeah,
00:20:32.280that's just like Richard Pryor used to do it. And I am so naive. I was like, you know,
00:20:37.420that makes so much sense. Cause he was so funny. And my friends started laughing like, no, Jen,
00:20:43.420I was kidding. No one's ever done this. You're insane. But my dad was an engineer and my mom
00:20:51.500was actually like, she calculated kill ratios as a mathematician at the Naval Weapons Research
00:20:57.440Laboratory. So, I mean, I'm hopeless. Like I just have that mathematician, engineer's brain,
00:21:03.280everything is spreadsheets. Everything in life is quantifiable for me. So yeah, everything goes
00:21:09.360in a spreadsheet, including my standup comedy set. But what's interesting is, um, one of the
00:21:14.280things that people in the comedy industry talked about when I, when I did that tour is they said,
00:21:20.140okay, so first of all, you booked it yourself and that's crazy, but they said, how did you get
00:21:23.840a set so quickly? Because that, that all came about very quickly. And I pulled together my
00:21:29.740set from having nothing to having a pretty good set that was, it's now a special, uh, in, I mean,
00:21:35.800I think it came together in five or six months, which is about half the time. And again, with six
00:21:41.260kids, I couldn't spend every single night down at the clubs because that just would be impossible
00:21:47.060with six kids. But it was that quantification that I would have a friend to come with me or
00:21:53.080my husband and we'd video the set and I would have to go back and watch that video, which is so
00:21:58.840painful, you know, full body video of yourself. And then you have to, and you know, of course,
00:48:44.980It really is. And that's part of my mission. I have this bigger mission with comedy and with everything I do. When I think back to the person I was when I thought I didn't want to have kids, it was all based on this misunderstanding. It was based on this false idea that you have to be boring, especially as a woman.
00:49:06.380if you're going to be the ones having the kids and doing it right, then you had just better get
00:49:11.340ready to be boring for like two decades out of your life. And I can't sign up for that. I don't
00:49:17.360like, I'll die. I mean that my, my brain will melt. I just, maybe this is even a bad thing.0.90
00:49:22.340Maybe it's something I need to go to therapy for, but it is what it is. I can't have a boring life.
00:49:27.060And I almost missed out on this incredible life. Like I'm so grateful for my kids, for my family.
00:55:06.080how many men are living existences they hate because they feel like i have to or it pays
00:55:14.880slightly better you have to earn more money the hours are more stable yeah and they think the
00:55:19.900right way to be a dad is to make sure that every kid has a car when they're 16 you can give them
00:55:25.420a full ride to college they have brand name clothes and so many men you know they wake up
00:55:31.820one day and they're 50 or they're 60 and they're like, well, there, there went my life, you know,
00:55:37.040there went so many years out of my life. And like, I don't feel good about a lot of what I've done.
00:55:43.480Like I've hated my job. I've been a wage slave. And so part of my message, even though I mostly
00:55:48.680speak to women is when, when you have this kind of life where you see, where you say that we will
00:55:54.900live an exciting life, like we're not going to be boring. You can partner with your family and
00:55:59.960with your spouse and say, Hey, you know what? Let's actually not upgrade the house, even though
00:56:05.660it would be great to have more room so that dad can quit this job. He hates, you know what? Let's
00:56:10.700downgrade the house. Like let's, we'll have three kids in a bedroom, throw some bunk beds in there.
00:56:14.680You know, I know all these big families, like four kids in a small room. That is nothing like
00:56:19.000they're fine with that. Let's, let's downgrade. Like let's live a more free life so that dad can
00:56:24.560start that business that he always dreamed about doing. And yes, it might be a financial disaster
00:56:29.900but let's be with dad as he takes a shot on that. And so, so men are really in need of that message
00:56:39.000of freedom as well. And, and I think I benefited from my husband's experience that he was raised
00:56:44.880by a single mother. His father was just not part of his life. His mom, I mean, she hardly made any
00:56:50.180money. They were so poor that there were times when she didn't know what, how she would get
00:56:55.240dinner. I mean, they like no money poor. And, um, and so she wasn't able to pay for him to go to
00:57:03.180college, but you know, he ended up going to Yale and having, you know, doing very, very well
00:57:07.800academically. Um, but his mom couldn't help him with any of it. She was like, you're on your own
00:57:13.020for college. You're on your own for buying clothes. You have to get a job. And, and it was
00:57:17.080fine. And so my husband never walked in with that expectation that the only way to be a good parent
00:57:23.260is to give your kids a high upper middle class life. Cause he was like, I didn't, my life was
00:57:28.460great. And I mean, it was hard in a lot of ways, but he was like, I, my mom couldn't pay for
00:57:33.040anything for me. And all that mattered to me as a kid is that I had her love and I had her support
00:57:39.280and that I was her priority in life. And so, um, so, you know, and I, I try to support my husband
00:57:47.260in that to not have him feel like he has to be stuck in, in jobs that he hates, um, just so that
00:57:53.420we can live a certain lifestyle. I'm really glad we covered that. Maybe that's partly what's
00:57:59.260contributing. That's gotta be. Cause I, like I know I grew up in a downtown Toronto. So people
00:58:04.500are pretty liberal and nobody has kids still like the average age of kids. I don't know,
00:58:09.560maybe 33 or 34 like it's much later and a lot of my friends who were guys were like
00:58:17.760you know you get you you get married and have a kid your life's over right like literally
00:58:22.660your life is over right right and when i had scarlet and was pregnant i can remember some
00:58:27.420of my friends being like you do this your life is over yeah right yep and i'm like
00:58:31.500that's terrifying what a horrible thought like i don't think you're right but that's really scary
00:58:39.680so no i'm glad we we covered this because i'm sure men are worried about that too and i think
00:58:45.760my dad's got a rule and it was in his first book i think which is don't let your kids do anything
00:58:50.420that makes you hate them basically i remember that i read that and i was man that's that's
00:58:54.700solid that's really good yeah and one of the most like insidious types i think of hate for kids is
00:59:00.220when it's not as outward it's like oh well till this guy came along life was pretty good but i
00:59:06.740love him that was that was my dad's like and he did like he was my biggest fan my biggest supporter
00:59:11.660but there was this we constant sort of background static of but his life was more exciting before i
00:59:20.160came along so it's not his life and tricky yeah when i came along i think that could also go badly
00:59:25.700like if you're in a relationship that's not great you could also be like well it's not the kid's
00:59:31.060fault it's this other person's fault right so then that could happen right so it's just better to try
00:59:35.940and be aware of all those potential areas of resentment and whatever you do even if it feels
00:59:42.700like it's i guess selfish then maybe it's something to try out so that you don't end up resentful
00:59:49.080usually if it avoids resentment i don't think it's selfish right because being resentful makes
00:59:54.640everyone miserable. Totally. Well, so this actually just crystallized for me in this moment
01:00:00.740that I think a very important dynamic with this whole women finding freedom when they have kids
01:00:06.180is this. It's funny you saying that just made me realize, I think a dynamic that can come up is
01:00:12.300if your husband hates his job, but he is slogging it out every day so that you can stay home with
01:00:18.920the kids, or even if you don't stay home, if just, you know, you're trying to do the right
01:00:22.580thing as a mom, you feel all the more pressure because if your husband is out there, like he
01:00:27.260hates what he's doing, he's not happy ever during the day. He's, you know, coming home just frazzled
01:00:33.380and frustrated every single night. You, you feel guilty being like, well, who am I? I think
01:00:39.260subconsciously almost you're like, I should be miserable. You know, I could, you know, get this
01:00:43.500book deal. I could do this writing project while I'm staying home with the kids, but I'd better be
01:00:47.920doing things that make me miserable, because how unfair would that be if I'm like following my
01:00:52.720passions and living my best life while my husband is punching the clock in a job that he despises.
01:00:57.620And I just now kind of remembered that this was something that my husband and I
01:01:01.640had to go through when things were taking off for me with writing. And I was really in the zone and
01:01:06.260and using that, you know, blue flame. He hated his job. And there was this unspoken tension of like,
01:01:13.140okay, we need to even this out a little bit. I shouldn't have all the joy, you know? And so that
01:01:19.580was when we started talking about doing the tour, finding better ways to monetize my career. I said,
01:01:26.300look, I, it's going to take me a few months to monetize this to the point that you might be
01:01:30.440able to scale back the amount of work that you're doing so that you can go, you know, he loves
01:01:35.040sailing, you know, go explore that passion a little bit more. And it did. I mean, it took
01:01:38.980about a year before I could shift things with my income so that I could monetize this work that I
01:01:44.960was doing. But then it became this really beautiful thing where we were partnering together
01:01:49.940financially where neither one of us had to live a life that we hated where each one of us could
01:01:56.320wake up and say, wow, I'm really looking forward to this day. Like I have things I'm passionate
01:02:01.360about. This is great. And, and it, again, it was a very intentional process and it took
01:02:06.080a long time of us working together to figure out how to make that work for both of us. But
01:02:10.980it is a really beautiful thing when you can hook that up.
01:02:15.900Okay. Let's get into that a tiny bit. So it's like negotiating. I think if I'm correct,
01:02:22.480we'll see what happens with your test. But if you are disagreeable, which I think you are.
01:02:25.700Yeah. I want to do the test though. I think that makes, because I scored like a high on
01:02:31.280compassion, agreeableness splits into, um, compassion and politeness. Okay. So I scored
01:02:36.480like 88 on compassion and like zero on politeness, like, like rock bottom, but then it makes it
01:02:44.000averages me to like, kind of like low average for agreeableness cause they combine. Um, but I think
01:02:49.880being lower in politeness makes it easier to negotiate, uh, because you're less likely to be,
01:02:56.220at least for me, I'm less likely to be concerned about not saying something because I'll hurt
01:03:01.600somebody's feelings. Right. It'll be like, well, no, it actually, it's something we need to talk
01:03:06.540about so that there'll be fewer feelings hurt in the future. Right. Even if it's kind of
01:03:10.500uncomfortable at the moment, that's such a good skill. And I probably don't get that uncomfortable.
01:03:14.220So that also helps with negotiating because this isn't that bad. That's a great skill. I'm not as
01:03:19.920good at that. I am, I guess, with people I know, but that, that is hard for me. Um, with my,
01:03:26.060you know, what helped with the conversations I had with my husband is that we started with the
01:03:32.000goal. We started by saying, let's dream of a life where we are both doing things that we're
01:03:38.360passionate about. We, we both have elements of, you know, we, we just love what we're into and
01:03:44.080we can somehow pay the bills. Let's start with that vision in mind. So it felt very collaborative
01:03:50.300that we were heading out on this crazy venture together. And that definitely helped those
01:03:55.500conversations have just have a little bit more smoothness to them that it wasn't, it wasn't
01:04:03.060me versus him. It wasn't us versus them. It was how can we both sacrifice and work towards this
01:04:09.840vision. And that helped a lot. That's a good idea. Okay. So a few more questions. I think
01:04:15.500another kid question, how are you teaching them to be like, you think you going on teacher on
01:04:21.460tour helps them become more self-confident? Like there, are they concerned about, are they
01:04:26.660confident children, especially with homeschooling? Do you think they'd be concerned with performing
01:04:31.220in front of other people? Oh, that's an interesting question. Um, actually, wait,
01:04:35.400let me say what, I just remembered something I meant to say on the previous subject that I think
01:04:38.660is really important for women who are interested in that. The key thing that made that work with
01:04:43.220me and my husband is I had to let go of imposter syndrome. Um, when women start to develop their1.00
01:04:50.380passions, like figure out what, what might I like to do while I'm raising these kids,
01:04:55.040there is a tendency to have imposter syndrome where you don't take it seriously. You know,
01:04:59.560maybe you're doing writing, but you won't call yourself a writer in order to have these
01:05:03.580conversations with my husband where it's like, okay, how can we have you work less? How can I
01:05:08.920help you with that? Well, I had to start to take myself seriously in my work and say, you know
01:05:13.220what? I'm, I'm okay at this. I'm pretty good at this. I might be able to make money. And so a key
01:05:19.400element for women who are listening to us and thinking about this, you've got to let go of
01:05:23.580imposter syndrome and own your gifts and own your talents and be willing to go for it because then
01:05:29.980that can help you monetize whatever your passion is, which matters if you're, if you need to
01:05:35.540support a husband who is like trying to quit a job he hates. So that letting go of imposter
01:05:40.220syndrome is, is really important. Um, so for my kids, I think they are very confident. Yes.
01:05:47.060They all seem, I mean, these kids are not that susceptible to peer pressure. I mean,
01:05:53.560some of the stuff like they just they just don't they don't seem to care that much what their what
01:06:00.560their peers I mean they're they're I mean they have friends I don't mean to say they don't they
01:06:05.420don't care about their peers at all but they do seem to be very confident now I don't know how
01:06:10.460they would feel about speaking on a stage but they have certainly grown up in a house where
01:06:18.020it is normalized to bet on yourself that they have, they've seen, they've seen no contrary
01:06:25.700examples to that. It is a bet on yourself household. And so they don't know anything
01:06:31.360different than that. And, and four of my six kids are girls. Uh, I have four daughters. And so I
01:06:37.660love it that they're growing up, um, in a culture of freedom to be yourself and encouragement to
01:06:45.360believe in yourself and to bet on yourself. Yeah, actually. And I think that's one of the
01:06:50.260other reasons for women and men for that matter, but to pursue what they want, because it would
01:06:56.660teach your kid that they have the ability to pursue what they want, which is what you're
01:07:01.080trying to teach them anyway. So if they grow up in a household and they see one of their parents
01:07:05.580stifled by something and miserable, then they're just going to learn the wrong thing about what
01:07:09.900they're capable of. Right. So that's, that's actually a less, you know, selfish reason to
01:07:14.320go pursue something would be to teach your kids that they can when you discover who you really are
01:07:20.060as a parent and you go for it and you be that person unapologetically even if you know what
01:07:26.720if you're glitter craft woman and you're like michaela jen i'm glitter craft woman i we do
01:07:31.460glitter crafts five hours a day every day and i love it and like screw anyone who doesn't like
01:07:36.980this whatever whoever it is you are when you discover that and you go for it you are implicitly
01:07:42.980giving your children permission to be whoever they are yeah you have normalized being your authentic
01:07:49.420self in your house and i think that that is a real gift for kids that's great yeah i like that a lot
01:07:58.660i had one more comment what was the topic you were you came back to it oh i said that uh letting go
01:08:05.400of imposter syndrome okay yeah that's what yeah oh i wanted to address that and then it completely
01:08:09.540left my head i think i've had i think everybody who gets into something new has that issue
01:08:14.960i'm surprised you have that you you come across as very confident i well i am confident but
01:08:20.900so i don't know if it's not a confident problem i think it's just underplay undervaluing maybe
01:08:27.160some of what i do and part of it's from having dad get as famous as he's gotten yeah but i have
01:08:34.280this to be hard well i've gotten like i've had actual hard things happen so it's not that hard
01:08:39.920but uh not compared to like hard and painful things right i'm like uh yeah it's not that hard
01:08:45.100but um i have noticed like some of the no i just i'll figure it out eventually i think i have had
01:08:50.960that problem though i don't know if it's from being like female or from my dad or being a mom
01:08:57.820i'm not sure yeah something to think about though i had that problem with the i told you i'm doing
01:09:03.020a show at zany's tomorrow yes yeah and i was like oh cool like i have a show but i have like i've
01:09:09.460been doing so much work for my dad with his brand that it was like i didn't put ticket like i didn't
01:09:14.120advertise it for like a long time like it was on sale and my like agent is messaging me is like
01:09:20.660can you tell people and i was like oh yeah yeah okay yeah it's like i don't know a self-sabotage
01:09:27.460or something? No, it's just, well, that's the thing is there is no tidy way to live an interesting
01:09:35.560life. Interesting lives are messy by definition. And I think sometimes we, we resist living an
01:09:42.420interesting life because we're afraid of mess, but that's how it is. Like when your father has
01:09:47.100this super interesting career, yeah, like, of course you want to be part of that. Who wouldn't?
01:09:51.020That's amazing. And, um, and you're a mom and you've got stuff going on with your daughter and
01:09:56.860you've got your own podcast you've got your own media empire going things are going to slip it's
01:10:02.300messy yeah you know i mean with my own tour yeah i've had like i'm about to go out on tour very
01:10:07.620soon and um i've had things slip and i beat myself up about it but you have to keep coming back to
01:10:14.160um an interesting life is is always a messy life you know if maybe you would have been perfectly
01:10:22.040on top of ticket sales if you weren't doing all this stuff with your dad but like who wants that
01:10:25.900yeah yeah exactly yeah okay jen if people don't follow you online where should they go and is

01:11:03.820new fancy managers. So not, not just cold calling theaters with a credit card anymore. So we're all
01:11:09.180the Petersons and the full waters. We're all taking it to the next level. And, um, yeah,
01:11:14.680I always try to make my show something you can bring anyone like my comedy is good,
01:11:19.400But I keep it clean enough that you're not your neighbor is not going to be horrified by anything I say.
01:11:24.240I'm not doing politics and stuff like that because women need community.
01:11:28.240And I want my shows to be something where everyone feels welcome so that we can start building community by having a chance to just get dressed up, have a night out, have a dinner.
01:11:38.340So I really encourage people to come out, even if they're just discovering me for the first time.
