I just have to say that I object strenuously to your use of the word hilarious.
Hard-hitting questions.
What do you think about feminism?
Do you like it?
Taking you to the cutting edge of truth.
Yeah, well, Last Jedi is one of the worst movies ever made, and it was very clear that Ryan Johnson doesn't like Star Wars.
Kyle pulls no punches.
I want to ask how you're able to sleep at night.
Ethan brings bone-shattering common sense from the top rope.
If I may, how double dare you?
This is the Babylon Bee Interview Show.
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to the Babylon Bee Interview Show.
I'm Kyle Mann, and I'm the editor-in-chief of a website called The Babylon Bee.
With me is my friend Ethan Nicole.
Kyle's high or something.
I don't know what's going on with Kyle.
Kyle's high on Bridget Fettisy because we just interviewed Bridget Fetasy.
Yep.
Some great A Fetisy.
And yeah, we've had her on before back in the audio days.
You look at me like that.
He looked at me like with disgust.
You just disgust me.
She was one of our first interviews.
And I just remembered, I was going to tell her this when she was here, and I forgot that I think she's the first person we added a disclaimer to.
Yeah, I had a little disclaimer in the email.
No, even on the website, it's a weird territory we're getting into.
Well, she might have been the first.
She might even, I think she may even call herself a Christian.
I'm not sure what she calls herself, but she's very, you know.
Look at her stuff with caution.
We had talked to Michael Malice already.
Yeah.
We might have done a thing with him, too.
Because we said something about this one.
She has some more visually risque things you may come across.
So that was the warning.
You didn't say that?
Are you just getting me back?
I don't know.
But Bridget Fetti hosts podcasts like The Dumpster Fire and Watkins Welcome.
And she's kind of interesting because she's like middle of the road kind of thing.
We share a lot of the same guests.
I get a lot of my ideas for guests from her.
I got the idea from Kira Davis from her and James Lindsay.
So I just pirate her guests.
I was a guest on her show.
Anyway, not to brag or anything.
But she's coming on.
It's going to be great.
We also are introducing our subscriber lounge today.
Yeah, this is a big day.
Subscribers.
Subscribers only.
You'll get to see the launch.
Actually, they might.
I don't know if we're going to have to launch.
No, we probably won't.
This will probably be the first one.
Maybe.
Yeah.
Depends on how they get released.
But there'll be preview footage, right?
It'll be like coming up and then it'll be footage.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I wish I could see more of that.
The leather chairs.
So this conversation is fun.
Takes a lot of fun.
Didn't need notes on this one.
We just went.
We just talked because we're that good at interviewing.
Somebody who talks way, I mean, we just had, we pop a question in and just sit back.
She talked a lot.
Yeah.
It's nice of the best.
Which is great because the name sit there.
And you just interject with.
Yeah.
And if you act like you're going to start and then let them go.
Yeah.
I don't know.
And then I'm, and then I have to formulate.
I'm going to came for the interview.
And then I have to formulate a question and then Ethan jumps in before I can.
And then I'm like, cool.
And then I want to talk for like 20 minutes.
You try to remember what you're going to ask?
Yeah.
Anyway, this is a good interview, so enjoy it.
Please do.
I look like a queen.
I guess we could not with the queen bee.
With the queen bee?
Queen Bay.
This reminds me of my buddyhead days.
The what days?
The buddyhead days.
What's that?
It was a website back in the 2000s, and it was huge in the music scene in LA.
And my friend Travis Keller started it.
He was from Idaho, and I was the only girl.
And they called me, I didn't even have a name.
They just called me the Buddyhead Girl.
And that was, that was, that's the vibe I have right now.
The Babylon Bee girl.
It's very, I wouldn't say masculine, but male around here.
Do you have any critiques for our decorations here?
Do we need to add a feminine touch?
No, I like it.
Isn't it nice?
But I'm obsessed with the boys.
So I'm the wrong.
My taste in all things pop culture is basically that of like a 13-year-old teenage boy.
Like Michael Bay movies are my favorite.
Beavis and Butthead.
Yeah.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Reboot.
Yeah, I would love that.
Yeah.
Another one?
Like Michael Bay reboots, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?
That would be amazing.
I don't see why.
Reboots the Reboot.
You could play Megan Fox's character.
Yeah.
April.
That would be disappointing for a lot of people.
I'm looking up Buddy Head.
I was trying to figure out what you're talking about.
Music WebZine, an independent record label formed by Travis Killer.
Yep.
Don't remember in Hollywood.
Yeah, those are the good old days back in Hollywood.
And we used to, they were just punks and they would do all kinds of, so they had this gossip column and it was infamous.
It was just every single person in town was reading it.
They kind of, they did things like post Courtney Love's cell phone number on there.
They broke into Fred Durst's office, stole one of his hats, and then auctioned it to like a domestic violence site.
They used to do things like, I mean, they were, it was crazy kids.
It was crazy kids.
And then somebody offered to buy them for millions of dollars, like Interscope or something.
And they were like, no, man, we're punk rock and we sold out and we would be selling out.
And then they didn't.
And now I think that that punch.
I regret that.
Yeah.
I think they're all junkies now.
No, I'm just kidding.
I would sell them.
I would sell it to the big.
I would sell the Babylon Bay to a big new thing.
What's an alternative to Babylon?
I'm thinking something hornet.
Hornets.
Wasps.
The murder hornets.
The murder hornet.
The weekly murder hornet.
The weekly wasp.
The weekly wasp.
So what's that story?
Because you aren't from LA, right?
You moved out here.
Yeah, I moved here.
You moved here with the dream and the glitter in your eye.
I did.
It's really funny.
I've been writing about this because I'm trying to write a book about just this weird time and space that we've all ended up in.
And it's taken me back to why I originally moved to LA.
It wasn't this.
No.
You don't hear that story.
Any political commentatoring to L in your garage?
I really.
That sounds bad.
I didn't mean that in the bad way.
No, it's perfect.
I mean, my favorite part of editing Dumpster Fire is every week when we sit down and it's me in front of my garage.
And I'm like, what have I become?
And people are always like, you need to change your background to get an actual set.
I'm like, no, it makes me laugh hysterically every time.
It puts me right in my place, humbly, where I belong.
She's looking for a set designer.
They were already talking before.
Okay.
He's like, I won't have anything to do with that dumpster fire.
It is kind of funny, too, that my show Dumpster Fire.
I was such a dumpster fire for so many years.
Yes.
Just kidding.
Thoroughly plugged.
Oh, yeah.
Do you have any shows that you do?
No.
I do.
Watkins welcome.
You should come on sometime.
Oh, come on.
You invited him and you didn't invite me.
I invited myself.
Oh, you invited yourself.
I think.
No, you invited me.
That's so weird.
I kind of invited myself.
You emailed and said, hey.
It's when I was promoting Bears Want to Kill You, so I was trying to get on any blue check that was following me.
I was like, hey, you'd sell my podcast.
You can't slam it with anyone.
You guys missed my mocking joke of myself while you were focused on me promoting my show.
She was telling her story about moving to LA.
Oh, partying her in her eye.
It was the classic.
But to show you how delusional I was, I had these big dreams of like sitting at a place in Malibu, flipping through scripts because I wanted to be an actress and watching dolphins and doing yoga with a private instructor, smoking that sweet Kelly weed, and being on set and drinking a Diet Coke.
And I was writing this.
I'm like, to show you how delusional I was, I don't even like Diet Coke.
Even my dreams of my future self, I'm drinking something I don't even like.
It's not even realistic.
That's not even realistic.
That small detail.
And it definitely ended up, it's so cliche.
I mean, I'm just a giant, I'm like an after-school special in real life.
It's like, even the cult thing is kind of in there.
You know, take them all, mix them all together.
But it's a different ending because most after-school specials don't end with them.
They usually end up a sad, sober pundit in a garage, caught in the crossfire, have the culture award.
No, I'm having a great time.
This has been my best year of my life.
No people are struggling, but yeah, 2020 is great for people to like to just sit back and laugh at everything.
Well, I was thinking that people say like 2020 is the worst year of all time.
And I'm like, probably not.
Yeah.
Like, I can think of, it's been a lot of bad things that have happened in the world.
Yeah.
Well, and I think it's all so personal.
So, and then if you did have a good year, you're definitely not going to be just like, this has been the greatest year of my life.
I'm killing it on social media.
2020, best year ever.
That's what all the celebs are doing.
Was it the Kardashians that were like, I rented out this private island for all my friends for a birthday?
It's like, read the room, people.
They don't care.
You've got a hologram set.
I care.
That was like, she did that.
Then she got, you know, internet piled on for doing it and not and became a meme immediately.
And then she posted the next video on Instagram was her being like, and I'm feeling good.
And it was her coming out of the water in her island.
Like, why didn't you just give us two fingers, Kim, and say, like, kiss it?
I mean, she's ridiculous.
But I kind of love her.
I mean, I would do it if I could.
I would rent the private island.
Yeah, I would never leave the private island.
That's my question.
Just buy it.
Why?
Why did you rent it?
Why not just go live there?
Yeah, it's been an interesting.
So, yeah, I came out here when I was about 20, right after rehab.
And I don't recommend that.
And then oh, that's why you're drinking the Diet Coke in the.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And the fancy.
I was trying to figure out why it's Diet.
It's the Coke the Fantasy, but got it.
Yeah.
Yep.
I think at that time.
Well, and it just seemed very like that cliche thing you drink on set.
I've never heard that.
I've never heard this stereotype or this trope of drinking Diet Coke.
I don't know.
I mean, even in Tropic Thunder, he was like, get me a Diet Coke.
You know, I feel like it's, I feel like it's a very common trope of Hollywood.
I've received R, so I haven't seen it.
Oh, that's probably good.
It might traumatize you.
Yeah.
And it probably couldn't be made to do you.
No.
No.
And it was only like, what, 12 years ago?
I remember when it came out.
I was like, how's he getting away with this?
Yeah, that was what 2008?
Yeah, I don't know.
Like, no, and it took him 10 years to get a mate.
If you look in yeah, it's it.
I think he wrote the script 10 years earlier and wanted to make it for like 10 years.
So, so when he wrote it, it was borderline.
When it came out, it was a little over the line, and now it'll just be completely canceled.
I can't believe they haven't canceled Robert Downey for that role.
No, they're lying.
That was the funny thing, too.
When it came out, everybody got mad about the special needs character.
And I was like, Robert Downey Jr. is in black dress.
This is what you guys are getting angry about.
Seems like a strange thing to be.
This is like Mr. Rogers' neighborhood.
We'll show it up from the neighborhood.
Mail delivery.
It's Mr. McFeely.
Mail time.
This is where I get converted.
Yeah.
Do you believe in Jesus Christ, your Lord, and Savior, Bridget?
Yeah, it's killing us.
Killing herself can go indoors together.
Mormons show up and our guests.
I was trying to think who it could be that would surprise you.
Yeah, who would surprise Bridget Fedness?
Yeah, like a Mori Povich kind of moment.
Yeah.
Oh, gosh.
Who would it be?
I was on that show.
Baggage.
It was what's his name who had this show.
Oh, my gosh.
What am I blanking?
I'm a good Googler.
Okay.
No, but it's the guy.
No.
He's responsible for the culture that we live in now.
Jerry Springer.
Jerry Springer.
Thank you.
Dang it.
I am Google.
You beat me by a second.
So Jerry Springer had this show Baggage.
And you had to go on and tell your baggage.
And then you got picked basically.
I don't really remember the rules.
It was back when I was smoking a lot of weed and drinking still.
I was really skinny though, which is all that matters.
I need to try that.
And then I talked about how I was a recovering heroin addict or how I used to do a heroin.
And I'll never forget this.
I needed the money really badly, which is why I did it because it was like pretty good money for one for like half of a day.
And then the entire you had that he had, the guy had to pick like between three of us, and the whole audience was going, Heroin, Harrow went, Hero win.
Wow.
Another one of those moments where I'm like, what has my life become?
Weird game show and everyone's cheering, heroin.
I've never told that story.
What do you mean?
Did you win?
You win something?
I mean, I won whatever I got paid.
I think we were supposed to go on a date or something, but never did.
Yeah, it was like a dating.
Yeah, but it was all about what your baggage was.
I can't find it.
No, I don't know that somebody has people over time.
People over time have definitely reached out and been like, were you on baggage?
Oh, yeah, I forgot about that.
I was really broke.
This bio site says it has your biography, age, key, height, and weight.
Oh, that's, I think, like, completely done by Russian bots.
Oh, okay.
No, it's my friends and I were reading my whatever, wherever the information about me is, and it is hilarious.
You need to bleep the name of that site because I'm creepy.
That's what they have on there.
It's hilarious.
Yeah, so I came out and then I moved back east actually after two years of being here.
And then I got married to a Russian, divorced, and had a whole other life.
I was waiving tables back on the East Coast and then came back again when I was 27.
And I still came back with the idea of, you know, writing like science fiction shows and comedy and started doing comedy as a dare, basically.
And it never occurred to me that I could do that.
Yeah.
I just thought it was something geniuses like Robin Williams did.
It didn't seem like something, I always respected it and memorized every comedy, you know, like Delirious I knew by heart.
And I never really, it never occurred to me that that was something that I could do.
And then the first time I ever did it, I was like, oh my donkey.
Gosh.
Thank you.
Why?
Oh, my gosh.
Why?
Oh, my golly, geez.
I'll just say, oh, my goose, which is my favorite.
My favorite alternative.
Yeah, their names should be taken in vain.
Does it sound like you think geese are not?
Geese are mean, though.
Yeah, that's true.
They deserve it.
They're evil.
Yeah, they're evil creatures.
So I forgot what I was saying completely.
I started thinking about geese attacking me.
Yeah, I got off on geese diet, Coke, Russians.
Very directionary, Russian.
Came back.
Came back 27.
Yep.
And then I just, oh, doing stand-up.
So the first time I ever did it, I was wondering why nobody ever told me that I could do that when I was saying ridiculous and extreme things at Christmas dinner.
You know, like no one in my family ever thought to be like, you know, there's an outlet for this.
And it's not here.
You can be drunk and feisty on stage and maybe get paid for it.
So that was a revelation.
And then I kind of started doing that for, I was grinding pretty hard.
And then I always wanted to be a writer, but never, again, it never occurred to me that I could be until I was working for Buddy Head when I was in my early years in LA.
It's been a winding road.
Then I, you know, you do whatever you have to do when you're trying to make it in LA.
And so I was a yoga instructor.
I worked with kids with autism.
I waited tables.
I had this like corporate origami job that I called it, where you just went into an office in Beverly Hills and folded like boxes super, and you got paid per box that you folded.
So it was like speed folding.
It was wild.
Was there any purpose to it?
You would put, it was for jewelry, but we wrote.
Some guy did a power trip like, fold these boxes.
Make me 3,000 gifts.
Fold 25 cents a box, woman.
I've done a lot of that kind of repetitive work.
I've worked on farms up north in Northern California.
And so, yeah, I mean, I've been, I've been, and then I was writing all the time.
I wrote a movie that I don't think can get made anymore because I think it's already been made now.
It's got Black Faith.
It's got, yeah, Robin Robinson and Black Face.
Weirdly, I did watch Traffic Thunder like a hundred times when I was writing this movie because I wanted it to be in the same kind of tone.
And I pitched it around, actually, even to some of the big agencies.
And then weirdly, another movie got made that was kind of similar.
But I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
And then lots of scripts.
And then I got kind of into Twitter in 2013.
And that's where I got hooked up with somebody from Playboy.
And then the rest of, then I fell into the middle of the culture wars.
And here I am.
You guys bleep that out.
Playboy.
I'm so drunk.
Please wipe that out.
I don't know these serious.
Patrick LaBadda.
He's all you have.
Yeah.
Yeah, you got it.
Yeah.
Well, you did, you also, In the pinnacle of your Hollywood career, you were on Curb Your Enthusiasm.
That was the pinnacle.
I think that's as good as it's going to get.
Did you get a Diet Coke on set?
I didn't.
Sad.
I don't like Diet Coke.
I could have done a Diet Coke.
But you could have if you wanted.
Yeah.
So that's it.
That's what matters.
It was, it was amazing, but that was those were those moments.
Even doing the voiceover stuff for you guys, I love doing it so much.
Here's a plug for your show.
I love doing it because it's the reason I came out here is to do that kind of stuff.
Just voices and be funny and make stuff and not be so caught up in like all the politics and the culture war.
And I didn't care.
You know, I watched a lot of Jon Stewart growing up, and I think that a lot of I it just was not, I watched it, but it was again, I was like, oh, that space seems like it's horrible.
Pretty much.
Yeah.
It's funny.
We were talking about Chappelle's show and that came on.
I was watching some of the new, the three that never got released.
And just, I forgot how that show was out during a time in my life when I was just drinking and doing a lot of drugs.
And the minute I heard the like Chappelle show, I was like, trigger alert.
I want a line and some tequila right now.
It was crazy.
I was like, wow, that was a really weird Pavlovian response I didn't know existed.
Jingle.
Yeah.
No idea.
Play it.
I just started to do it.
Yeah.
Play it.
Get out the tequila.
It's weird how that stuff happens.
Yeah, no, it's it's been, yeah, that it's been a fun, it's been a crazy journey.
And this is, um, I guess just, I feel like I'm in a giant game of improv where I'm like, yes, and now I'll go on Glenn Beck.
Did you ever have that?
Like, is that just your personality or did you ever have that?
Like, most people have this, you know, unless you're in the conservative group, the idea of even associating with Glenn Beck, you're like, yeah, I was, I was worried.
It's funny.
I remember when Ben Shapiro was the first person who ever gave me my first break in media.
And it was during the Kavanaugh stuff.
And I had been just rage tweeting about how I felt that sexual assault victims were really getting the worst end of the stick and all of the discussions that were happening and being overlooked.
I'm like, every way that everyone's talking about this is hurting the people that they're purporting to try and care about.
They don't.
Newsflash.
And so he, his producer, reached out and said, you know, we would love for you to come on and be an independent and kind of speak to this on a panel during his election special on Fox.
And I looked at it and knew I was going to say yes almost immediately, but immediately knew, you know, I remember talking to a good friend and he said, if you don't say yes to this, what are you even doing?
You know, why, why are you even saying what you're saying?
And you might as well just say yes to it.
And I didn't, I didn't, I don't think I still understood completely how I had stumbled into the culture wards kind of in 2016, 2017, working at Playboy and saying things that led me, they got me on the wrong side of people on the left.
And that was surprising to me.
And then I would say things that would kind of make the right mad because I was working at Playboy.
And there were always people up on the right who were saying that I was like the downfall of mankind and it's women like me who are the reason that society is collapsing and all the things that you hear from the right wing when you're a sexually liberated woman writing for Playboy.
And so I never, that was why I don't think it, I think I had seen things from both sides that just led me to believe like people are people.
We're going to, okay, so I'm going to get crap from here, crap from there.
I was more surprised from some of the people on the left, just that being where my tribe was.
And I don't think I understood how untouchable it was to go to talk to somebody on the right.
I just didn't understand.
And that kind of worked to my benefit that I didn't understand that it was.
And then I was like, I don't care.
I mean, in the journalism class I took that I got kicked out of, I do remember a couple of things, one of which was that you should always go talk to people on your own and make up your own mind.
And so I went on to Ben's show, which was, it's funny, this is what I'm writing about now too, because I had never done a media hit.
I had no, and they put on like the big, it was like total fox makeup, you know, big eyelashes.
I didn't really even look like myself.
Made you put a blonde wig on.
Yeah.
I might be the only brunette that's ever appeared.
And they, and I, it was a, there was a thing in your ear, and every answer was, it was almost like a game show.
It was like rapid fire.
I've since learned that this is not the norm, but it was, there was like, you got asked a question and then there was a time.
And then there was a video giant screen of you right off camera.
I mean, the whole thing was.
And my friend was like, just don't blank.
It's not a big deal.
Just don't blank.
And the first question Ben asked me, I just like stared at him.
And I could see him looking at me because he's so sharp and he's been doing this since he was seven.
And he's like, just looking at me like, you dumb idiot.
I swear to God, if you blow this right now, I recovered.
And you probably couldn't even tell, but for me, it felt like when you sank into the like, the sunken place and like get out.
That's how it felt.
That's how it feels when you blank on stage or on camera.
You're like, no.
Created R. Haven't seen it.
So you said you were writing for Playboy and all these people on the left were getting mad at you?
Because I didn't know that you couldn't say things like real man.
I didn't.
And I really are some of the headlines.
I remember what I'm curious: is like the readers of Playboy.
Like, I don't, the men didn't care.
It was like, it was more than picturing the social justice.
So the women, yeah, I need social justice in my issue.
Some of the dudes didn't like that either on the left.
Okay.
Like the male feminists.
They weren't too keen on some of the stuff I was writing.
And I was really trying to write to the red-blooded American male.
And I grew up with Maxim, and that's where I wanted to write.
So I was, I was still, I came stumbling out of the 90s.
I'm like, and this is what it's like to be a real man and didn't understand.
Didn't understand why people were getting mad at me.
I never studied gender studies.
I didn't even know that was a thing.
It was news to me when I found out that this was something you could get a degree in.
For the homeschoolers, Maxim and Playboy are talk to your parents.
Sorry.
I know.
It's always the, it's so, you always have me on and it's in the blue show.
We get some interesting replies.
I'm sure.
I believe in God, though.
So, that's my that means you're better than who have we had that doesn't believe in God, James Lindsay, maybe you're better than James Lindsay barely, though.
So, um, yeah, that that was surprising to me.
Was kind of getting some of the headlines were, um, I can't really even say them, but um, she dates A-holes because you're a P-word.
I sound like Ben Shapiro right now.
You can say it, it'll just get have you heard we have the guy that says the word over your word?
Oh, yeah, donkey, yeah, she dates.
So, one with one of the first early ones was she dates because you're a donkey, and that was the one that ran me afoul of the left.
And apparently, men's rights activists weren't huge fans of that either, which I would have thought now.
Looking back, I'm surprised by that, but they didn't like that.
They didn't like that, right?
No, they didn't like that, they didn't like that, yeah, because they were saying I was implying that they were beta males, basically.
The single ones just have incel crossover because that's a community I'm very interested in.
You say you've been attacked by the incels, like are they like do they have groups like I mean?
I'm not sure really anymore.
Does anyone meet up?
I mean, we're not meeting up.
I'm a hologram that Kanye made for me.
Oh my gosh, that reminds me of the time that I got confused for a person that Kanye was talking about in a lyric.
This actually happened.
I was writing for Playboy.
I woke up.
It was during his life of, I think it was Life of Pablo album that came out.
I wake up and I have all these text messages: Bridget, what did you do to Kanye?
I'm like, what?
From all my family members and friends on the East Coast.
And some pitchfork editor made the mistake of thinking he reviewed the album and he said, Oh, there is this lyric that is something, something, Bridget, which is just a generic name for a white girl.
And he said that it was in reference to me, Bridget Fedesey, comedian, and whatever I was at the time, writer for Playboy, because of my history with it, because he must have Googled my name and seen the article about Bill Cosby.
And so I wrote an article about called Bill Cosby Rape Me, kind of.
It's clickbait, I know.
But it was basically when all that stuff was first coming out about Bill Cosby, I was having a very strange reaction to it.
And I just wrote about it.
And this was before, it was like 2013 or 2014, pre-Playboy, even.
So I write through a lot of my own confusion.
That's how I try to make sense of things.
And I was like, this is a very strange reaction I'm having to all these women coming out.
I was like, it's a little late now, ladies.
Meanwhile, this story is exactly what happened to me.
I mean, exactly what happened to me.
And so in writing this piece, I was like, oh, this is all like internalized shame that I've never dealt with.
And I'm projecting it on these women.
Because if 17 women came out from Minnesota and accused the person that I never accused of doing this, I would definitely support them and say this thing happened to me too.
So me too.
See what I did there.
Yeah, we should start a hashtag, guys.
And so we, yeah, so that was how he, and he must have just Googled Bridget and Bill Cosby because I think Bill Cosby was in this lyric too.
And then that came up and went no further than that.
Didn't do any research at all.
So then the review came out and I woke up and like my editor's like, don't say anything.
Like, why can't I say it?
I was telling people this story recently.
Like, that's amazing.
It's, there's still correction in the pitchfork review.
Yeah.
That was a bit, that was crazy.
Does Kanye West know who you are?
Well, that's why I was joking because I was like, I bet Kanye knows who I am now because of that.
Because of that.
Yeah.
You've sat in the same chair.
Hence why he made my hologram.
Kanye doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that reads album reviews, though.
I don't know.
He kind of strikes you as the kind of guy that does.
He seems like the kind of guy that would Google his name or so, you know, people on Twitter who look up their names.
What are you doing?
I don't understand that.
Yeah.
But a lot of people.
Ethan's got an ongoing search on his tweet deck.
I guess I get like three a month, maybe, though.
That is my nightmare.
He has to know if he's going to get canceled because in the comic.
Like you have to know if they it's just interesting to see why would somebody bring my name up in like just in another conversation.
It's usually like at Ethan Nicole's.
Right.
Yeah, you get that kind of stuff.
Yeah.
Right.
Wing creative.
They got to make sure if somebody says, oh, XCOP was a great comic, and they go, I just need to make sure you understand who you're supporting.
Yeah.
No, there's no separation of the artist from the art anymore.
That is not allowed.
Yep.
Sorry, guys.
Yeah, that's one reason I was, I wanted to, I mean, you're funny.
I wanted to have you on to do voices for our cartoons.
And, you know, we don't like share all the same values and stuff, but purely just on your talent and like playing out my own values.
Like I want to have people that are good.
Well, we probably share a person.
Yeah, we probably share.
Yeah, we share a ton of values.
I think we, in the Christian community, there's welcome to our Christian community.
Yeah, there's, it's controversial.
Is it an all-white robe?
It's controversial to encourage people to engage in, or I mean, just to even to say, oh, recommending you to people like because of sexual content and stuff like that.
I was wondering about this because I wondered too, you know, this is something that's been interesting for me to contemplate in going on right-wing media is that you guys are taking a risk too.
You know, when the left-wing won't have me on because apparently I've talked to people on the right wing, when I actually going on places like Glenn Beck with my history and my organizations that I've been affiliated with, they could easily say, oh, we won't have anything to play the same game, guilt by association.
We won't talk to this girl or have anything to do with her because it might, it probably has cost them some subscribers and maybe you guys too.
But being able to have these conversations, I think, across the lines is what is important to the fabric of our society.
And I reckon that we probably share more values than we don't if we talk about fundamental freedoms and rights to just kind of live.
There are probably some gray areas, obviously, and then there are some where we just maybe disagree completely, but maybe not as much as you might think.
And I think 20-year-old Bridget versus 42-year-old Bridget are, you know, that conversation would change a lot.
Those, my values have evolved in 20 years.
So I think one of the things that I've become the most aware of is my change in, I feel like the, I don't want to blame the culture.
This isn't me being like a victim, but I do feel that the culture lied to me in a, in a weird way of like sleeping my way to empowerment.
Like I don't think that that's true.
And if I had a daughter, I would, I would make her understand that it, you know, there, there are double standards, obviously, with men and women.
And I've often pushed back against those because I don't think they're fair.
But I also think that as a woman, it's definitely something that I, and I don't think it's good for men either.
I just think like the promiscuity for me, and I can only speak to myself, has been something that I really had to work around.
And I had to do a lot of, there was tons of shame that came with it.
Some of that was being raised Catholic and kind of having shame around sexuality before I was even able.
Some of it was reacting to the sexual assault and trying to take some of the power back.
I mean, it's so complicated, but one of the things that I don't think is healthy messaging for young women is that if you're feeling disempowered, that sleeping with men and not caring is somehow going to make that better.
If you're coming from a place of empowerment, go for it.
Like go do whatever.
But if you're trying to fill a hole, no punatent.
I apologize.
Complete that.
If you're trying to fill something, then it's not, it's generally going to make that worse and aggravate it.
And in my experience, I'm not speaking for everyone.
And I know there would be tons of pushback, but that's, that's one area where I regret being a slut.
And that's hard to say in this culture because on the other hand, I don't like slut shaming.
So I, again, weirdly occupy this crazy, I'm wrestling with a lot of that stuff myself.
And even I think just being in a healthy relationship, it's, you know, I'm glad that I had all the single years of my life, but I also don't think, and coming from divorce, I don't think I ever really gave any real weight to how important and amazing that can be to have like a supportive partner and how that can be something that's really good.
I really always was like, I'm single forever and made that part of my identity.
And having to let go of that has been a lot of heavy lifting and therapy.
So yeah, so that's my long answer too.
I'm certain that we, you know, I've evolved in a lot of my thinking about things that I, I don't, I think we should change, you know, and grow.
But yeah, I do think that it occurred to me that maybe I would get, you know, attacked or labeled, mislabeled as one thing or another for appearing on conservative media.
But it also occurred to me that they were taking a risk by even having me on.
You know, Ben, if you Google me, there's, you know, there's a lot of scandalous stuff from the conservative media point of view.
Not horrible, but it's in a definite like blue zone.
And that for people who are highly brand concerned, which everybody is now, it can be a risk.
Yeah, like focus on the family wouldn't have you on probably, like some big Christian radio station or something.
Yeah, but I also think that I try to look for the lanes where, you know, this is why I think Ben Shapiro was so smart in putting me where he put me literally in the middle between people, a woman who is on my right and a woman who's on my left.
Subtle, very subtle.
Yeah, it was great.
I think the visual representation is important.
And he also knew what my lane was.
You know, we were talking about Kanye, who keeps coming up.
And we were talking about like sexual assault.
You know, I can, I'm not a policy wonk.
I'm not going to start talking about.
So he knew where to position me and that was great.
I was more nervous when I went on Gavin's show, Gavin McGinnis, because he at that point, he wasn't stigmatized as extremely as he is because that happened the night the night after I did his show, actually.
Another hilarious story.
And but he still had that kind of stigma.
He hadn't, I don't think he'd been banned from all the platforms yet and deplatformed.
He was still around.
So, but he, I had loved him when he was writing for Vice.
I mean, people forget that he was like, when I was writing about a topic that I probably shouldn't bring up, he was like the gold standard.
His article of Vice was like the gold standard for men to get advice about this particular topic.
And I'm intrigued.
We probably don't know what it is.
No, it's probably something you've never heard of.
So, yeah, so I was just like, wow, I want to meet this guy.
So it kind of started vice.
He was like a hipster.
And the whole time we were, but also he was this guy that men had referenced when they're like, oh, you know, you're just a 40-year-old with dried up ovaries.
And that's what you're that, because he kind of would go on those tangents a lot about just how all 40-year-olds who don't have babies go crazy.
I'm like, I know a lot of women who have babies who went crazy too.
Like, crazy does not really, it doesn't pick and choose male, female, whether you're, whether you're a female who's had babies or not.
And so that felt, I was like, have you ever met my mom?
Clearly not.
She had five.
And we drove her crazy.
There's this weird concept now of like platforming.
Like that, if you have someone on, you're platforming them.
And I don't think that was a thing, I don't know, 10 years ago, 20 years ago.
Like, you know, the New York Times wrote a profile on us and not to brag or anything.
Yeah, I saw that.
But, you know, and then all the libs in their comments are like, and the replies are like, how dare you platform and popularize this site?
And, you know, it's like, you're just writing about something.
This is a thing that exists.
You know, and people are like, how dare you?
Like, it's strange.
And I think it's kind of a value on the left, which is why you see that, like on the right, like, we don't feel like we're like platforming me and putting on this pedestal and like go consume everything Bridget Fitz has ever done, but it's like, we want to hear what you have to say.
Yeah.
Well, I don't see why that's a, that shouldn't be controversial.
It's weird that we live in a time where that is controversial.
And even when I was talking to Gavin, he kept being like, you and me, we're the same.
I'm like, you're scooting.
Simmer down.
But I do understand what he means in that we both come from the left and kind of all of a sudden we're like these gen Xers who got lost in the culture war and then you know just excommunicated from our tribe.
And I do think one of the things that I've had to really take an inventory of is not being too reactive because it's easy to feel rejected and then react and be like, I can overreact.
And even today, the piece that I wrote, if somebody in the mentions is like, you're laying it on a little thick there, lady, aren't you?
A, it's satire in 2020, which means if I'm not overtly satirizing something, people are going to think that it's real.
I have to lay it on so thick, it's obvious within the first couple of sentences that this is not real.
Because otherwise, people are going to be like, I can't believe this is real.
Look at these libs patting themselves on the back for surviving Normandy.
But then it gets mistaken for real news.
Snope's fact checks it.
All the grammars on Facebook share it and you make a lot of money.
Oh, okay.
I still haven't figured out how to cash in on any of this, but everyone around me seems to be doing well, and I'm happy for them.
Yeah, it's been that, so that was a weird, that was, that was strange.
And then once I did Glenn's radio show for a sad kind of borderline, it was actually more cheeky than satire.
It was about not stop wasting your money on college.
And then I did his radio show and we had so much fun.
It was just fun.
And we were laughing so hard.
And he's very funny.
And so then he had me on to talk about all kinds of things on his, and we talked a lot about addiction.
And, you know, that's the other thing that I get upset about when the left wing will come after me.
I'm like, I will go anywhere and talk about recovery.
And this is an area where I feel like right-wing media loses out because they are so focused on the culture wars that a lot of these kind of social issues and problems that the left has tons of language around and articles and the benefit of like self-care and how to help yourself in addiction, all of this stuff.
But if you're not reading left-wing media, which generally you're not really getting those kinds of articles or that kind of help or support, and I think it's important to go talk, I'm like, I'll go talk about addiction anywhere, anywhere.
Addiction doesn't care whether you're red or blue or purple or whatever.
It affects all of us.
And it's, and depression and anxiety and hypochondria and relationship stuff and, you know, free speech and comedy.
These are the, these are kind of the umbrella lanes that I try very hard to stay in because I think they affect all of us, no matter who we are.
And that we shouldn't be shaming people for, you know, crossing the divide and having a conversation on, I don't know, would you guys get in trouble for going on like Jimmy Kimmel?
I don't think so.
They wouldn't have us on.
See, they would get in trouble.
Yeah, they'd get in trouble, I assume.
That's the weird thing.
But Jimmy, if you're Jimmy is definitely watching.
Kanye?
Yeah, I mean, I don't know if it's the because the culture that's in power, I don't know if they have a fear of losing that power by letting other people talk or what it is.
Like, what is it that makes, because it does seem like when I was growing up, it was probably more the other way around, that the right was a little more, they played it safer.
They didn't, you know, they were a lot more legalistic and more into the censoring thing.
It's just shifted.
So I don't know what drives that, you know, the whole don't platform that person idea.
Is it that the left is just scared?
Is it fear?
I don't know.
There's, you know, there's a lot of, there's the thing that gets referenced a lot is Oprah having a member of the, I think she had a white supremacist or she had some, she platformed somebody and then she's kind of lived to regret it.
And so a lot of people reference Oprah learning from using her platform to try and reach across the aisle and it ended up having a different effect than she thought it would have and just giving them a voice.
And, you know, I disagree with the idea that everyone deserves a platform.
Right.
So I fall somewhere in the middle of, do we, I don't really like this idea of censoring because I think it makes people more interesting and it makes people more curious about them inevitably.
Same with books or anything.
Music, we've seen this.
And I just think in general, people can make up their minds, but I don't know in this new world with algorithms and things like that, and things that are shaping our brains that we don't even really know are shaping our brains.
But generally, I don't know that I don't know.
I don't really think like the depersoning of people and who gets to be the arbiter of that is what scares me.
Yeah.
So I agree that maybe some people shouldn't be able to like, they don't deserve to talk on somebody's platform that reaches 40 million people, but that doesn't mean they don't deserve to like have a Venmo account, you know?
And that's kind of where we are.
And that's what's scary is.
And if you think that you, this is where I do think fighting for those free for the people that you don't agree with the most is important because if you think that you're somehow going to be left out of that, eventually it will all come for you, even if you just age.
You know, I look at all these young, woke people and I'm like, give it 10, 15, 20.
I mean, the way things are going now, give it five years and you're going to be getting canceled by the younger generation of you.
It's dangerous.
We read GK Chesterton regularly.
GK Chesterton.
Well, Kyle doesn't come very much, but I'm working on it.
But he talked in one of the recent GK Chesterton.
He talked about how the things we consider reasonable and rational just mean, that just means what the culture accepts right now.
Right.
They're tomorrow's revolutions.
He even used the example this is 100 years ago that, you know, two plus, we take for granted that two plus two equals four, but we'll be pulling out our swords and fighting for that truth tomorrow.
Well, we might be actually.
Yeah.
It's literally happening.
Yeah.
That's the insidiousness that I see.
I mean, in some ways, not to get political, but in some ways, from my perspective of being in like the demilitarized zone, as you call it, which is hilarious, the wasteland of the center, the insidiousness that is coming from the left and this weird, creeping authoritarianism that seems to be coming down on the West kind of everywhere, and it's terrifying.
It's much easier for me to fight that if I'm also not like constantly dealing with like, but Trump is blah, blah, blah.
So it's, it, it does make it easier for me to focus all of my attention on that one insidiousness instead of having to focus on two creeping hypocrisies at the same time.
You know, it's like, okay, we've got this over here, and that's not really even where I come from.
So, I think you have to kind of, you guys do a great job of kind of calling balls and strikes, even within your own, um, within your own team or whatnot.
And I think that's really our role, particularly with satire and as comedians, is to kind of call out those hypocrisies where you see them from the people who are in power.
I mean, the stuff we're seeing from news, people are always like, Why are you always going after Newsom and not Trump?
I'm like, Newsom affects me directly.
I live in California, he affects people I know.
I'm Trump is like, What is and he wants us to be more open, you know, like if anything, such a tyrant, yeah.
So, they get mad at me when I'm like, This guy is like he, I feel like he wakes up and just is like, Who am I going to mess with today?
Restaurateurs, let's do this.
It's insane, yeah, it's crazy.
If we go off on Newsom for a while, oh, I will happily.
I mean, I will make it my mission to make sure that man never, when you look at some of the stuff, that's that.
Have you guys seen the like unemployment scandal that's going on, where people came from other states and they are basically they?
It's all this fraud and now people who need unemployment can't get it because there's such a huge backlog, because our system is from probably the 1970s and it's it's so upsetting.
The most upsetting thing is people are like today there was an article, oh my gosh, in Virginia, 75 of the kids who are the most vulnerable are getting f's.
Oh, you don't say like.
Everybody didn't call this.
When I was growing up my, my upbringing was a little chaotic and school was.
I remember walking home and dreading and you know I love my parents and there's a lot of water under the bridge, but all is forgiven.
Um, they did the best they could, but when I was young I would, I would dread.
I remember that walk down the driveway every single day like vividly.
I vividly remember being like, what am I going to come home to?
What is?
And there there are ton people, don't people, who are like, oh, it's no big deal blah blah, blah.
They don't understand.
There are tons of kids who are in that kind of circumstance yeah, where their home life is like chaos and school is actually kind of a relief for them and it's um hard to focus when you have little siblings who are screaming behind you and you have um, I don't know.
I mean, that's really why I fall, fell off the rails of of education, was it's.
It's very hard to care about your grades when you have, you know, dysfunctional stuff going on at home yeah, and it's uh that that kind of stuff where it's lip service to the vulnerable and all of the vulnerable people are suffering.
Small businesses are getting crushed.
We're seeing um all the kids slipping through the cracks who are, who are in vulnerable communities.
Special needs kids aren't getting the care that they need and deserve.
I worked in that and I don't know how any of these parents are doing this without all of that help.
There's um all of the the um it's Like all my friends who are waitresses and waiters.
How many people in LA?
Think of what an industry that is in this town.
Yeah.
It is like how many musicians and people in fashion and people in every single creative industry come here and that's their job.
And now they're probably all living at home, I would guess, or had to go home.
What are they doing?
It's a huge backbone of our entire creative economy.
So, how many creatives have we lost?
How many, it's just like the domino effect.
I've been, I'm in recovery, as I've mentioned.
So many people, you can't have, like, this is what's crazy to me.
You can have a thousand people at a concert, but you can't have 10 people at an AA meeting or go to church.
It's like, why are you taking people's coping mechanisms from them?
Why are you taking things that I've seen so many people relapse in this time?
Depression's increasing.
I had Johan Harion, you know, he wrote Lost Connections, and he wrote another book about the war on drugs.
But he writes a lot about depression and addiction.
And he was saying these are two things that were already on the rise in America leading up to the lockdowns.
And the lockdowns have exacerbated all of this.
But we really need to look at what's going on that this stuff was already on the rise.
I mean, we had the most overdoses this year than ever by like the summer.
I mean, it's there, it's, and then if you say this, you're like, oh, so you're a COVID truther, I guess.
I guess you think this is a hoax.
No, I'm not.
You can hold both of these things and you should be evaluating both of these things.
A good leader would be looking at all of these things and not just saying, hey, we're going to lock everything down.
Good luck.
Here's your $1,200 for like, how many months has it been?
Yeah.
I mean, people should, if you want to be out in the streets protesting, this is the stuff you should be protesting.
Yeah.
Because it's outrageous.
But most of the people, it's outrageous.
I think everyone's just like worn down.
And if it wasn't political, I think there'd be a lot more protesting.
People see it as I'm on this team.
So I'm on wear my mask and obeying.
Isn't it weird?
You see someone's Twitter avatar and if they're wearing a mask, you know, isn't that weird?
Oh, wow.
That's like the pronouns.
It's like the pronouns.
Yeah.
Somebody, I think it was Sal the algorithm, or he had a, he was from the Hunger Games, and he's like, when you see someone out in public without a mask, and it's like the Hunger Game sign, you know, like salute.
That's huge.
Chief member.
Yeah, it was funny.
It's, I, again, for people talking about science, when, you know, let's just talk about the restaurants.
There's the science is that there are very little outbreaks in restaurants.
They've spent thousands of dollars to try and accommodate all of the whims of the overlords just to make it so they could go out.
They're building these outside arenas for people to eat and these like pop together or whatever.
And then they're like, oh, yeah, shut down.
Most of the outbreaks by the state's own records are at subways, McDonald's.
They're fast food places.
They're not even at the traffic.
People walking in and out.
It's so frustrating.
Yeah.
It's very, I mean, I could go off on NUSA.
I just feel like, again, same thing with like the firefighting when you really dig down into that.
And it's like, oh, this is all just climate.
No, actually, locally, people have been begging you to deal with some of this force management for years.
And you just are ignoring them and not letting them do what needs to be done.
And you also haven't dealt with freaking PGE or whatever and all of their equipment that's horrible and starts entire towns on fire.
Are you okay when you break?
I'm going to start.
I just wanted to say that he has stupid hair gel.
Well, he does.
That too.
That was my main thing.
He's so shmarmy.
Even when he was saying sorry about his French laundry incident, he's smiling.
When you're smiling and apologizing, I know you're not apologizing.
We all need to do better.
He's crazy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He is like an Adam Sandler movie villain.
The name, the hair, everything about him, the grovelly voice.
Can he not see that he's that character?
I don't know.
I mean, I lean into joking because when I don't, I go into, you know, revolution, Bridget.
Let's do it.
Let's go.
And I don't know how to start a revolution.
Yeah.
I don't even know what that is.
It's like the saddest.
I'm trying to think.
Like he came with like masks off May or some kind of like a cool hashtag.
I was just trying to alliterate.
Now I'm depressed.
Well, I wanted to do October, but it's too late.
October.
No mask November.
No mask November.
What's next?
D-Mask, D-Mask, Disney?
D-Mask?
See?
Yeah.
There we go.
You should write comedy.
So you're a COVID denier, you're a climate denier.
Yep.
All these things.
Any other anti-science?
I belong on the right.
Welcome.
One of us.
Have you shifted after becoming, you know, since your Shapiro inauguration, have your views shifted having interacted with the right more?
Or is it just you're staying the same and everybody's moving?
Yeah.
No, I think my, you know, I talk a lot.
No, I think I, I don't think I knew what my values were.
So that was, that was one thing that was interesting was being that I was really in a blackout for the better part of two decades.
I was just floating along.
And like I've said, just kind of my factory settings are that I just like pushed that blue button and that was what I was raised with.
And I didn't have to think too much about it.
And I was really raised to be, you know, like the right is red is, right is evil and the left is fighting for the good guy.
So I think of anything I've woken up, and this is actually a silver lining, I think, of the past five years in particular, is that there's so much migration happening ideologically and actually.
And people are really waking up and asking themselves, what are my values?
What because they've been pushed, you know, so many people have been red-pilled by the media, which I think is probably a good thing.
And there's so, and there are a lot of, you know, one of the biggest examples for me of something that I've shifted on is like gun control.
Because, and, and I don't, I say shifted in that.
I was anti-gun and had no idea.
I just was, it was just a knee-jerk reaction.
I come from that.
And it was also just when there would be a school shooting, I would rightfully be like, this is bad.
Ban them all or whatever.
And then when I was after something happened and I realized I just was like, I don't know anything about guns.
I don't know how to shoot one.
I don't know what the laws are in California.
I'm out here spouting my mouth off and I know nothing.
It was a very humbling moment.
And so I reached out to my audience.
This is when I was at Playboy and had them.
I was like, how do you think we should solve this kind of gun?
What are your thoughts on the gun control debate?
And what do you think we can do to make things better?
Or how do we prevent that?
And I got so many emails and there were thousands of words and they were fascinating and just really interesting from people all over America and different states and people in California.
And that made me realize like, wow, I know nothing.
And the past five years have really just been a repeated moment of me going, I know nothing, nothing.
I know nothing.
And I thought I knew a lot.
And I think it's been just really kind of going back to school.
My podcast has been an education for me in many ways, just talking to so many people, but also having lots of experts on about different things.
I really feel like my, you know, I think I've always been intuitively, I was a lot of things like a free speech warrior.
But now I have started to learn more about what that actually looks like, what that means, and what these intersections of free markets, free speech, and technology, what that looks like, because it's not, that's not pretty or simple.
So I just like it.
I like that I feel I've been, it's been very much like being a moron.
I always joke that I come from the moron majority.
Like that's my, those are my people, where I just didn't, I didn't, I was apolitical.
I didn't have to be political.
I didn't think too much about any of it.
And I am now kind of just, I get to learn all over again.
And that's kind of exciting for me.
And I think we live in very strange, I mean, we live in interesting times.
I always think of those creepy drones that were flying around China during the Wuhan virus in Wuhan.
There were all these videos coming out.
And it was like, neighbor, we live in Chinese, obviously.
They were like, neighbor, we live in interesting times.
What are you doing outside?
And it would be like a little Chinese person like scurrying into their apartment, looking at this like drone that was yelling at them.
That's where we're headed.
Anyway, guys, that's where we're headed.
You're getting close to Newsome welding us all in our homes.
