Time Text
Oh, hold on one second.
No, no, no.
Where's the haircut commie?
Yeah.
No.
Freedom fro, baby.
I'm growing it out.
I'm not going to cut my hair for a while.
Commie.
I think I like it.
The only problem is when you get old and then you have a lot of gray hair in your afro and then it doesn't look quite as cool as it did when you were, you know, a ripped 16-year-old with...
This is my basement.
Oh, yeah.
What a difference.
18 months make, people.
Check it out.
Oh, yeah.
18 months ago.
That's what I looked like 18 months ago.
Yeah, out of here.
People say, Viva, I liked it when it was shorter.
I said it's the Freedom Fro, and it's not going anywhere.
I did say I would cut it when I found freedom, but I've grown to love it.
I was looking for an intro for this show that would not get us immediately demonetized and potentially booted from YouTube.
And I have two clips to play of Chrissy Mayer, or at least one of Chrissy Mayer, one that's related to the discussion of the night.
I'll play those when we go over to Rumble.
We're going to last five minutes on YouTube, and then I'm going to end it right away and go over to Rumble exclusively.
The link is in the pinned comment in the chat, or at least it should be.
You may remember Chrissy Mayer from such podcasts as Viva and Barnes.
Barnes might not be coming tonight.
Viva and Barnes interviewed Chrissy October 2021.
The world's gotten slightly worse since then.
Maybe it's going to get better.
Maybe it's the dark before the dusk or whatever the heck that expression is.
Chrissy, I'm bringing you in.
Let's do this.
Three.
She's picking her nose.
She's not picking her nose.
Chrissy, how goes the battle man?
Hello!
Oh my god!
I can't believe your hair was so short.
I was watching that interview.
It's a year and a half ago.
Can you imagine where the world has gone in the last year and a half?
It flew by.
It's really flown by.
And just when you think it can't get worse, oh, it does.
It gets weirder and weirder.
We are going to get into the weirdness tonight.
By the way, everybody, we have a hard one hour.
Chrissy's got another out.
I saw your schedule.
It's ridiculous.
Barnes might not make it.
So everyone, where's Barnes?
Where's Barnes?
He might not come.
Chrissy?
For those who missed our first interview, we're not going to go into your childhood, public schooling, your life as a young adult.
But 30,000-foot overview, and then after the intro, we're ending on YouTube and going over to Rumble.
I love it.
Who are you?
Oh, you want my elevator pitch?
Okay, so I'm a stand-up comedian.
I thought I wanted to be a news reporter.
Went to school for media studies, communication.
Got a bachelor's.
Really, really thought I was going to be a reporter.
Had an internship at Dateline when I was in college.
I was working with Stone Phillips.
I was like, oh, he is the most boring individual possible.
Then I got an internship at Conan when he was still in New York City.
Then I realized, okay, I love comedy.
I don't know what I'm going to do, but these are my people.
Then I did five years of improv at the UCB Theater and the Magnet Theater.
Did a one-woman show and then started.
I started stand-up comedy maybe, like, 13 years ago.
And then, you know, just kind of floundered, did open mics, and then really started to, like, put my foot on the gas maybe, like, six years ago or so.
And all throughout this time, you know, I have day jobs.
I'm working.
I'm working at least one or two jobs this whole time.
You know, I'm using my vacation days to do road gigs.
I'm doing, you know, podcasts at night kind of thing.
Just really trying to balance the two worlds all the while.
And then, you know, my most recent job is in corporate media.
I had that job for six years.
During that time period, I become red-pilled.
I become an out-Trump voter.
I am at January 6th.
All of these things for which my boss really wants to fire me for, but can't until the pandemic.
We go remote.
Finally, we all have to get jabbed to get back into the building.
That I wouldn't do.
So I finally lost my job December of 21. For not getting the jab.
And I was considered voluntarily resigned.
Didn't qualify for any kind of unemployment.
No insurance.
Just like, okay, bye.
So, happy to have done that because I just feel like I was getting busier.
And it was very clear that my boss wanted me out for political reasons anyway.
Because he read an article that I was on Megyn Kelly's podcast saying that January 6th was really chill.
He wanted to fire me for that, but I was like, no, I took vacation days.
So you can't, technically.
Unbelievable.
In your professional life, what you're describing, when did politics start infiltrating and souring relationships?
They really cranked it up for Trump.
That was the first time I saw...
Magazines like Glamour or Cosmo convincing young women to break up with their Trump voting boyfriends.
That was the first time I really saw that promoted.
And the pandemic only intensified that by being like, yeah, break up or don't talk to your unvaccinated family members.
And it was just really intense.
But for me, I think it was...
Really, Trump, because I didn't like him at first.
I voted for Jill Stein, and then just over the years, hearing fake news, fake news, and then it just clicked one day, and I was like, oh my god, it's all propaganda.
We'll all be darned.
How does that type of revelation impact your comedy?
You're doing stand-up comedy now for, I don't know, if it's not a decade, it's pretty darn close.
It impacts it a lot, because I started out stand-up like...
Really, I should have become a lot more successful because I was like a single woman living in Brooklyn, liberal, Democrat, hated my dad.
Like I had all the things a female stand-up comic should have to be successful.
And then I just...
You know, I'm just chugging along.
And then I go, in a year, I go from hosting a monthly show at the Stonewall Inn, which is a gay LGBT, like, landmark.
That's where the Stonewall riots started.
I go from hosting a show there to hosting a weekly show on Compound Media.
I just couldn't do both of them.
But my sense of humor didn't change.
Nothing.
I went from, and I lost all these friends and working relationships because I went from...
Monthly show at Gay Bar to weekly show at supposed right-wing network.
Anthony Cumia's network, who was best known for Opie and Anthony, mostly in the tri-state area.
New York, Jersey, hugely successful.
Then they both broke up.
Anthony Cumia is one of the OG canceled comedians.
Then he started Compound Media, I think, in 2016.
And then I came on that network in 2019.
You're at a gay...
Well, you're doing a once a month at the Stonewall Club, which is the Stonewall Riots, which was...
When was it?
It was in the late 60s?
1969.
Yeah.
And that was gay people fighting or rioting for gay rights back in the day.
I do wonder what they would think of the current movement in terms of how it's morphed into something that apparently many people of the...
Gay and lesbian community don't want to be a part of and then they get called TERFs for it.
Oh yeah, I'm sure they weren't at Stonewall fighting for the right to twerk in front of elementary school kids.
I'm sure that wasn't even on the list of goals.
Some people, Chrissy, would say it was.
It was just on the end of the slippery slope and now we're living it.
You know what?
Before we even get there, let's just go ahead and end this on YouTube.
And we're going to really get into it on Rumble.
So the link is there, people.
Yeah, let's get weird.
Oh, 321 off of YouTube now.
Chrissy, I've been asking a lot of people this question.
You've lived through it in a more direct manner than me and many others.
When did, you know, LGB, lesbian, gay, bi, when did it become LGBT, LGBTQ?
When did it go from...
Gay rights to we want to twerk in front of your kids.
When did drag shows for kids become a priority for Democrats and for purportedly the LGB community?
And I don't think it is for them, but when did that become the issue, like in your transition of comedy?
I remember, it was while I was still hosting at Stonewall, I just remember there was one Pride summer where it was so obvious how corporate it all went.
I was like, oh wow, Bank of America, J.B. Morgan Chase.
I was seeing every single company had a rainbow logo all of a sudden.
I was like, yeah, it looks like you guys made it.
It looks like it appears that you guys are not having...
Trouble getting hired everywhere.
Y 'all can get married.
Y 'all can adopt.
You made it.
And then somehow Drag Queen Story Hour became...
I don't know whose idea that was.
It feels very calculated to start pushing that.
And then it seems like just a lot of parents...
Blood started to boil.
And then you have these mom groups that start becoming more outspoken.
And then you have basically the policy revving up in places like California.
You have these basically trans-utopian states popping up.
I think Colorado is one now.
California.
Where you can just go and get a trans surgery.
And your parents don't even need to know.
It's hard to not be conspiracy-minded about it, but you can see a very clear correlation between if a kid has enough agency to decide to have a very permanent adult sexual surgery on themselves, it's conceivable that they could also then have the agency to...
Consent to an adult sexual relationship.
But that's where a lot of people go, oh yeah, this just leads to the normalization of pedophilia.
And it's like, it's really hard to make an argument against that.
It's not, well, it's not even, I mean, I remember back in the day, it seems like a decade ago, and it might very well have been, but you had these websites normalizing it.
I think you had the minor attracted person term.
Someone's going to have to fact check me for when that term started taking off.
But it's the natural and necessary evolution.
Someone can alter their bodies because they're mature enough.
Well, they can do what they want with their bodies if that means having relations with an adult person.
And it'll get there.
It'll get there because the parodies have become the headlines.
And by the way, we're seeing all of this happen at the same time as COVID.
When you lose your job, first of all, someone says, I bet you're glad you held your ground.
Explain to the world what that feels like.
I didn't have a job to keep or lose.
If I decided not to get vaccinated in my retrospectively stupid decision, touch wood, I've survived it, but it was not based on that type of pressure, but maybe other type of pressure.
When you face the reality that you're going to lose your job, what goes through your mind and how did you know or how did you decide to come to that decision?
For me, it was like...
Like, I don't want to completely rule out the idea that I might, like, have a kid one day.
So for me, like, when that's factored in, the decision was made very easy because I'm like, there's no studies on what this does to adults, but there sure as hell aren't any studies on what this does to pregnant women.
So I was like, yeah, I'd rather not be, like, a test hamster for this or whatever.
But, and then once we kind of knew, like, once I made a decision, like, there's nothing that's worth it.
I can always get another job.
I was starting to see, okay, I think I could start making the bulk of my income from comedy and podcasting.
I think it's possible.
And me and my fiancé got to the point where we were like, yeah, probably one of us will lose our job over this.
And it was just kind of like this waiting game of the mandates were up, but also time was kind of running out.
It felt like they were going to let up on it sooner or later.
And it just was kind of a...
I could tell that New York, especially New York City, was really pushing it for as hard as they could.
It almost was this sense like, yeah, if we can just get everybody jabbed until this...
It was like this corporate sort of collective pressure of like, yep, we're all doing this.
And you hear people, especially comedians...
Using their fake cards.
And I was like, yeah, no, I'm not doing that.
It's about the principle because, like, you might be able to, like, fake card your way through this pandemic, but I don't think most people see it.
Okay, well, then what about two pandemics from now when we're getting chipped or we're getting thrown into trains or, you know, we're literally being held down.
And, like, inserted with something.
Sexual jokes aside.
It's not that far off.
But now, Chrissy, I know that you were not engaged the last time we did an interview.
Because if you were, I would have put that together.
When did you get engaged?
Last June.
Congratulations.
When is the big day?
It's going to be sometime between now and the fall.
I'm just, like, not saying it because...
I don't want all of you to show up there.
You don't want hecklers crashing the wedding.
But Chrissy, so this is the question.
Now, you're having this revelation, starts with Trump, sort of a, it's not a political shift.
I think it's rather just an intellectual shift.
But you're in the industry of stand-up comedy.
And I always say, like, you know, high school never ends, it just gets bigger.
There's cliques in comedy, is there not?
Oh, yeah.
Absolutely.
How does it work when you now see yourself working your way to the outs of the inner click and then in to the outer click that doesn't necessarily control the purse strings or any of the strings in the industry?
That's exactly it.
You work your first few years in stand-up, you're like, oh, okay, I see who's booking the late-night shows.
It's like the normal trajectory is like open mics to showcases to you.
Get on a late night show like Colbert.
It used to be Letterman and Leno.
And then you'd be kind of set.
Maybe you'd make your way to a sitcom or something or an HBO Comedy Central special.
But now, I mean, when I started, which was like 13 years ago, the path was sort of like, yeah, like open mics, showcases, late night spot, some kind of a special, maybe a sitcom.
Maybe you kind of get into commercials.
Like a lot of the improv people I would see in commercials.
And I think it's harder to make a living in improv unless you're like TJ and Dave, which are the guys you would see in the Sonic commercials all the time.
Like, they can do a full-blown improvised play as good as anything you could see in New York City.
Like, I saw them perform a couple times at the Barrow Street Theater.
Ridiculously talented improvisers.
Most people are, like, not at that level.
And it's...
So, you know, you go, okay, these are who I have to impress.
These are who I have to get in with.
These are the people I have to do FaceTime at these clubs or at these shows and get to know these people.
So much of it is networking because you could be really talented, but if the right people don't like you, you're not going to get anywhere.
So I just spent, I feel like the first maybe, I guess, I don't know, six years of doing stand-up just...
Trying to get better, of course, but so much of his networking to pretend that if you're just talented, things will happen for you is very naive.
It's very much all about who you know.
Starting to feel like I was starting to talk to the booker at Colbert, starting to put a set together, starting in the initial stages of beginning to record it and then send that set off.
It's like a filing process of, okay, these jokes have to go.
Anybody that you see on Colbert or any of these late night shows, their set is so carefully chopped up and put back together and edited.
It's not just the raw version of anybody, because there's so much you can't say.
Even on networks, there's things you can't say.
I was just on Newsmax, and I said the word boner, and apparently you're not supposed to say that.
I said, what else did I say?
I said erection, and then they're like, uh-oh.
That's just TV for you.
There's so much you can't say.
Then it starts to...
I think the pandemic was big.
I remember I was in...
I was in LA, like March of 2020, doing a headlining show.
And I was on Sam Tripoli's Tim Foyle Hat podcast.
And it was a conspiracy theory podcast.
He's like, what do you want to talk about?
I was like, I don't know.
I guess aliens.
I honestly wasn't the biggest conspiracy theory person.
I just thought he was really funny and was a fan and wanted to do his show.
And just something about talking to Sam and being on there.
And he just put a few things into my ear.
And then I had all of the...
The pandemic to think about it, and it was that, plus putting it together about fake news, and I just was like, it was like my mind was blown on so many things, and I just feel like I grew up in a couple of months.
The weight of the truth about things going on in the world, it can get dark, but it was a lot all at once, and then everything clicked, and you're like, okay, do I want to be black-pilled or white-pilled?
What do I do with this information?
So the last couple of years has been the process of how to, because you have your jokes, like your bank of jokes that you've been doing, whatever, 7, 8, 9, 10 years.
But then there's like the person that you currently are today.
And people write at all different levels.
So like now it's like really the process of like having my stand up and my stage presence and show matching up with and aligning with like who I am basically on a podcast or like my current, you know, beliefs.
Clifton Duncan was on.
He's another liberal Democrat actor who took the red pill, still considers himself liberal, I think, but loathes the liberals.
Tyler Fisher, who I don't know that he ever considered himself liberal, but is now on the outs.
And then once you get on the outs, I mean, first of all, is there a defining moment where you knew they're not inviting me back?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, for sure.
When was it?
It was 2018, and it was the height of the Me Too era, and I was in this ladies' Facebook group, like this New York City ladies' Facebook group, and I remember we had lunches, brunches, clothing swaps, it's all, and I remember when they started to push out Michelle Wolf because she was getting very successful, and I was like, huh, I wonder if it has to do with the fact that she's blowing up or what, and then...
There'd be these women that would be like, Me Too is popping off.
These women were like, I was raped too.
I was in this basement at this comedy club and I was drunk and someone took advantage of me.
And then you hear story after story that sounds similarly.
And I would start to be like, I don't know if it was so much that these men are predators so much as you personally make horrible decisions.
You are getting drunk and passing out in basements.
That's probably not going to end in a good scenario.
Whether you're with, like, Bill Cosby or, you know, Flanders.
I don't know.
Like, from The Simpsons.
Like, a really upstanding gentleman.
That's the first person I could think of.
And then I tweeted out this, which the aftermath of which told me that I was definitely out of the club.
I tweeted out, like, if you have time to get raped, you're not doing enough spots.
Which is not well received.
By the female comedian community of New York.
So I was thusly kicked out of the Facebook group.
There's a Facebook group for comedians or for like women comedians?
For women comedians.
There's a couple, but like there was the one big one.
And you get kicked out.
We're going to get into it a bit with the Dylan Mulvaney joke, but you get kicked out for a joke because the joke, I guess, was too edgy.
For the milieu of stand-up comedy, which is about edginess.
And by the way, just talking about at the risk of getting cancelled myself, which I don't have an employer.
I don't know if you've read the Rudy Giuliani lawsuit of the woman suing Rudy Giuliani for sexual assault.
No, I haven't.
Well, she alleges in the lawsuit that she was never a big drinker.
Giuliani's drinking scotch all the time.
But there's one allegation where she alleges they were drinking Bloody Marys as of the morning.
And they both obviously were very drunk all day long.
Rudy Giuliani, who was probably just as drunk as her, if not, if maybe more so, who knows, compared, was drunk, had sex with her.
She had sex with him.
And then she says, well, he assaulted me and I was drunk so I could not have consented.
And I'm just like, I'm looking at that and I think that is, is a fascinating.
You know what I mean?
Like you consented to the drinking.
But it's a fascinating thing to say like, well, he was drunk and therefore he...
And I was drunk, therefore I could not have consented.
But if she couldn't consent to the sex, then neither could he.
So it's just a perspective.
Don't they cancel each other out?
Right.
I don't know.
So you make this joke, however, and it doesn't go over well with the female comedians in your Facebook comedian group.
And it's not even like I'm saying people deserve to get raped.
Of course that's not.
It's a joke about taking responsibility and making good choices and growing up and just not conducting yourself like a hot mess.
And me realizing like, hey, like...
I find the busier I am, the less that I am in situations where bad things can happen to me.
Like, if you go, oh, I'm going to do five mics today instead of, like, I'm going to do one and then get drunk and see what happens.
Like, which kind of a night do you think is going to end in maybe some shenanigans?
That's all I was saying.
Well, first of all, generally speaking, even the offensive edgy humor doesn't need to be explained.
And most often, you know, the edgy humor doesn't get you yeeted.
When did political correctness begin dictating the parameters of comedy?
It felt like 2018 for me, because there was just a few things in a row that was like, oh wow, I was just making jokes and the backlash was very harsh.
There was a girl, this liberal comic, she had better credits than me, which is why...
People went to her side because I, like, didn't have as big of a following.
And she was on a show on Compound Media where she stormed off the show because they were talking about Indian, like, cultural...
What's it called?
Where you dress like...
Cultural appropriation.
Cultural appropriation of Halloween costumes.
That's what we're talking about, like, Indian Halloween costumes.
She got really offended and stormed off.
And then I came in the next day in a wig, like, parroting her and being like, oh, I'm...
I'm Kate.
I just forgot my jacket.
And then what was supposed to be just a bit part turned into like them inviting me on the desk.
And I'm doing this whole character of this woman, this like offended, woke, snowflake type, you know, feminist.
And then this girl, Kate, messaging me.
Oh, are you making fun of me?
I saw a screenshot.
Again, people aren't paying for Compound Media.
It's a subscriber network.
People just see screenshots of me in a wig.
I'm like, oh my God, you're making fun of Kate.
You're such a horrible person.
I'm like, no, I'm just doing a parody.
It was no big deal.
And then Kate had told me, you know, somebody had told me that they wanted to...
Stick a railroad spike in my butt or something like that.
I wrote to her, where would someone get a railroad spike in 2018?
Off a railroad, but that's federal property.
They'll get you stuck in jail.
After this conversation, I think she was posting like, oh, somebody said they wanted to rape me with a railroad spike or something.
Obviously, everything's an exaggeration because this girl wants to be a victim.
And then the next day on Compound, I went on wrapped in tinfoil as a railroad spike.
This was another character I did.
But I was an anti-rape railroad spike.
And I had this voice.
It was so stupid.
It was corny.
But I'm like, I'm a spike.
I don't want to be in any woman's keister.
I got a rail at home and six little spikes I really care about.
Like, I don't want to be in any woman's butt.
Like, I was this anti-rape railroad spike.
But sure enough, what happened?
People don't subscribe to the network.
They don't see the episode.
But what they do do is take a screenshot of me in a Spike costume.
That gets posted.
Oh, look at Chrissy!
She's being a raping railroad Spike.
Let's cancel her.
She's making fun of rape.
She's making fun of your rape threat.
And then it got blown out of proportion.
All these women went to her side because she had the better credits and they probably thought, well...
This woman's in a better position to help me in my career because she's already been on Comedy Central or whatever.
And I already don't have the wrong, like I have the wrong political opinions.
Plus she was like bigger.
So mostly the support went to her and people, you know, at face value go, oh, that's horrible.
But if you watch the episodes, you go, oh, this is just like a dumb joke.
Like she's clearly not advocating for harm here.
Well, to quote Scott Adams, he says, until you've been smeared by the media, you don't understand what it feels like.
But that is a pretty damn good example as to understanding it and then it changing your perspective going forward.
Yeah.
Chrissy, it's a very interesting thing.
Hold on.
Let me just bring this up.
I have actually never seen a Wikipedia page that doesn't have a bloody birth date.
How old are you, Chrissy?
Oh, you never ask a lady her age.
I'm asking.
I want to break news.
I want Wikipedia to be updated after this episode to say Chrissy finally reveals her age.
Are you under 30?
You can't be under 30. You can't be because you're doing something in 2012.
So you'd have to be 34. I'll take it.
Okay, fine.
I'm going to leave it at that.
Call Wikipedia whatever you like.
What's the first movie that you remember seeing?
In theaters?
In theaters, yes.
That's a really good question.
I can tell you the first concert I saw.
Okay, go for it.
Alanis Morissette, Jagged Little Pill.
Alright, I got your age.
We can move on now.
No!
I mean, what I meant to say was Taylor Swift.
You know, my first rock concert was Rolling Stone's Steel Wheels tour and somebody blew marijuana in my face and I had no idea what it was.
And then he said, we're going to get high tonight.
I was with my parents' best friends because I guess my parents didn't take me to shows.
Yeah, okay, fine.
Done.
Okay, but no, Chrissy.
Like, jokes aside, I couldn't even play this.
I could have played it on YouTube.
I did not play it on YouTube.
I didn't want to start with the punch.
When I ask you, like, when politics ruined comedy, and you're sort of, you can pinpoint it to 2018.
I'm just trying to think of when Saturday Night Live stopped being funny.
This was big news.
This was big news recently.
Let's just play this out here so you can explain what happened.
I've got so many questions.
It's been a year of girlhood and still no tits.
That's day one.
Naughty humor coming.
If I'm transitioning to a dude, I'm getting a cock.
I'm getting the biggest one you can find.
Go into the bathroom.
Give me something black.
I have something to prove here.
The joke is coming.
The incident is coming.
Because he's a man.
Yeah!
Tomorrow!
Uh-oh.
We have one of those.
I figured.
No, it's all good.
We can all have different bullies.
It's okay.
Some of us can believe in reality and some of us can't.
Co-exist.
This is America.
Co-exist the bumper sticker.
Binary and bisexual didn't have as many.
Labels.
It was just like, oh, you're not bisexual.
You're just fun at parties.
I've always felt that way.
Now they're leaving.
This woman who gets up first is wearing pink S&M equipment over her clothing.
Is it a joke or was it real pink S&M clothing?
Yes.
She's wearing a strap contraption.
She's wearing a system of pulleys and levers.
Look at that.
Okay.
It was like a collar.
There was a system of levers.
It was a lot happening.
Now we're going to get into your jokes that some people said were not nice.
We'll get to all of this.
I let in some people I shouldn't have.
I let in some people because they were real athletic.
You know what I mean?
I saw potential.
I don't know.
I don't know how you have...
Set aside audacity, you know, whatever.
I don't know how you have the comedic courage to do this.
I mean, in a million years, look, we all have bad thoughts, and then you formulate them into comedy.
People just because they were Puerto Rican.
I'm trying to do a joke.
I see them leaving.
I see them leaving because there was the one outburst.
No, she's a woman.
She's a woman.
And then that was it.
No one said anything else.
And I see them getting up and leaving.
And I actually see the tables surrounding them, looking over at them.
But I'm like, okay, this only has the attention of two or three tables.
It's not worth commenting on because the whole room is not seeing this.
So I was like, I'm just going to keep going with this bit.
This table in front here with, like, the girl with the black hair and the kind of ball guy, they were looking over at them.
They felt tense to me.
But, again, it's, like, not worth stopping my bit to be like, oh, you're leaving now.
I'm like, all right, people leave.
Like, you know what I mean?
You're all doing this, like, assessment very quickly in your head.
Like, what's worth it?
What's not?
Like, don't, you know what I mean?
Like, look.
It's not the first time I've walked people.
It's not the last time I've walked people.
Alex Stein had walked a table the day before, and I was making fun of him for it.
In fact, the table that Alex Stein walked, I think they were heard outside saying, the woman was saying to the man, like, do you think that's funny?
Do you really think that was funny?
And the guy was like, yeah.
We're going to get into the absurdity of going to...
What time of day is this?
Is this late night?
This was the late show.
This was the, I think...
9.30 show?
You go to late night, late-ish stand-up comedy to get offended.
We'll finish this 45 seconds.
This is the 9.30 show.
So this is like a 9.30 to 11 o 'clock show.
Okay, listen to this.
Did you see yourself coming here?
Is that the best you can do?
Oh, I see.
She screamed on the way out.
She screamed when she was at the door.
Okay, now I understand.
Which is the most cowardly thing you can do.
Not that I wanted them to rush the stage, and I shouldn't have said, is that the best you can do?
Because these women were all much bigger than me.
They could have knocked me over.
I had four linebackers sitting at the table.
I don't know why I had to test them.
I got questions about that.
Okay, hold on.
I don't want those women to get harpooned in the neck on their way to their cars.
I'm worried about their safety.
There's poachers out there.
They're going to want their tusks.
They were fat, though, and that did help.
Okay, I'm going to stop there.
Chrissy, I have so many questions about this because people don't understand.
I mean, people don't appreciate.
You're doing a stand-up bit.
I don't go to a lot of stand-up, but I like going.
And you know when people are out there in the crowd, not heckling even, but just distracting the comedian, it's a performance.
And you get distracted.
And then the question is, you get distracted.
Do you decide to...
Pivot, and then make an event, make the bit out of the distraction, or just try to ignore the distraction and carry on.
And at some point, you make a decision.
When she's out the door and she says, fuck you transphobe, you're like, okay, do I ignore that and continue on with my bit?
I can't.
That is a moment-shattering event.
I can't finish that joke.
I literally had another couple of tags on that joke.
It's like...
I have to acknowledge it.
It's very loud.
Everyone heard it.
So it's like, I'm not finishing this joke.
That's done.
And it's like, this is very loud and obnoxious and everyone in the room heard it.
So it's like, you have to acknowledge.
Anything that's something everyone in the room can hear it or it's like a drink falls or a dish breaks or someone falls or someone gets up to go to the bathroom and everyone can see.
Those are things that I feel like you have to acknowledge.
It's happening in the room and everyone can see it.
Now, here's the thing.
I'm going to bring up this comment from the Rumble Rants because it's...
I think it's on point.
Hold on.
Let me see.
Bring it up here.
It says, Chrissy is the only female comedian I know that stood on her principles prior to it being trendy.
She works hard and she deserves all the success and praise she's receiving.
Now, we're going to get there, actually.
Stop screen now.
I'll bring that back.
But you've got to make a decision now.
You're going to roast these people and it's a risk because if you roast someone and it doesn't work...
Then you look bad as a comedian.
Oh, yeah.
You roasted them, and you go to the fat joke.
Of course.
You have to.
Well, I mean, under certain circumstances when it's not quite so striking as far as an element of...
Look, it was striking.
I had to acknowledge the elephants in the room.
Okay, see, I would laugh in as much as I'd laugh at a stand-up comedy show, but I would not make those jokes.
Okay.
Is there a part of you that feels bad about what...
Nope.
No.
Not as soon as you...
You interrupt my show.
You mess up my joke.
You think your opinion...
First of all, she corrected this male audience member, this grown-ass man.
You think you're going to change the mind of a grown-ass man sitting in a Dallas comedy show?
You think you're...
It's ultimately heckling is so...
The most selfish thing you could do next to trying to cancel somebody's show.
You're saying that your opinion is more important and more right, better than this guy.
You're right and your opinion is more important than everybody in the room who's laughing and enjoying themselves.
So you go in that moment, wow, let's say even 60% of the audience was enjoying me at that time.
And let's say some were quiet and some people are quiet laughers.
Maybe people were neutral looking at their phone.
Fingering their date.
Who knows?
But her in that moment goes, you know what?
But my opinion is right.
So I need to interrupt this show, interrupt this joke.
I have to let this man and this woman, the woman that I paid money to, I literally paid money to hear her opinion tonight.
No, I'm going to interrupt and let everybody know that I'm right.
And this man in the crowd and this woman performing are wrong.
And it's so selfish.
And she did it in a shitty way.
It's not like you meet after the show like, hey, I'm trans.
I didn't really like that joke.
It's not like, hey, it sends you an email after the fact going, hey, I was at your show.
I was a little offended.
Because I've gotten those emails where people write me and then say that they're offended.
No, she had to interrupt what I was doing.
To let everyone, to like, grandstand and then like, she had to be the star for a second.
She had to be like the most, I'm the most moral, most right, smartest, most evolved person in here because I'm taking a stand against this person.
It's like, it's so selfish and like, once you do that, I go, oh!
My blood starts, it's a combination of like your blood is boiling.
Like you're like, you're fucking up my joke for the most basic heckle, for the most cowardly interaction.
You don't even have a witty retort.
You're not even going to like try to attack me.
You're not going to throw anything, a sandwich or a drink in my head.
Like how boring to just call me a transphobe as you're out the door.
You're putting in the least in terms of heckling.
And it's like my blood is boiling, but also my heart is beating so fast because you're like.
There is a chance these whales could attack me.
And there was a guy in the front that was saying, you know, I was on safari once.
You got a ride.
You have to run side to side when you're being chased by hippo.
This is literally what the guy said after they walked out of the room.
I was laughing my balls off.
I was like, okay, if they came running towards the stage, I would just run side to side out of the room.
Then you guys would have to watch them.
It's an urban legend.
They say the same thing down in Florida.
To outrun an alligator, you run zigzag.
You don't.
First of all, you just run faster than the person next to you, and you'll be fine.
Bada bing, bada boom.
That's why I'm not in stand-up.
But I like the idea, you know, the observation.
It's selfish.
It's not like, you know, the comedian says, I'm going to ask some questions and then make fun, where they've made the individual the object of the joke or, you know, part of the joke.
And even then, when the person takes it a little too far and then starts making the bit, the stand-up show about them and not about the comedian, Even the audience starts to go, okay, dude, chill out and back off.
They do this.
They make a scene.
You are obviously, I say, trained as a comedian.
You couldn't, on the one hand, either fear these things or revel in them because you can turn it into what it has been turned into, which is, from a cynical perspective, the greatest marketing ever, but also showing your talent as a comedian to have your stand-up bit and then to improv.
The blowback you got.
Did you find you got blowback or you got feedback and support for this?
I noticed one person...
A mix of both.
Way more support than blowback.
Although today I did have a drag queen in my DMs.
I was like, wow.
How viral this has gotten for a drag queen to be like...
Going back and forth with me on Twitter.
I think Twitter has thwarted it.
Not like I'm going to complain about 3 million views on a video on Twitter, but they have completely thwarted.
It hasn't gotten any more views in a couple days.
It's been a mix way more positive than negative.
I was surprised at first at how viral this went because this seems like a very typical heckler moment.
I assume most comedians are having a moment like this every couple of months.
I could be...
Way busier than I am.
Like, I could be doing way more dates.
Like, somebody like Kreischer or Mark Norman or even, like, Jim Norton or, like, any of these household names that are performing, like, without fail every single weekend and doing, like, many, many dates.
Like, I assume that this is happening to everybody all the time.
And like, for me, this was a very basic heckle.
And, but like, I've never, like, I went, I went at her more than I probably have anybody else because I was just so fucking pissed that she stepped on my punchline.
It feels like such a risk because I'm like, I have nothing prepared for how to deal with a heckler.
I'm literally digging deep into my soul.
I'm like, okay, I guess all I'm bringing up are dad jokes.
I'm just one after the other.
I'm like, well, I guess I'm making another fat joke.
It's just...
It's coming out while you're thinking of it.
And again, everything you're saying, this could completely bomb or this could be kind of funny.
Let's hope for kind of funny.
And what just kept coming out was just many fat jokes of all time.
And then after the show was over, I went to the table and my merch table was like, the shirts were all like...
Not folded nicely like I had left them.
They were all kind of fucked up looking like, what happened?
And then the guy working the door was like, oh yeah, they pushed all your shirts off the table.
And that's when I did the tweet, like they stampeded my merch table.
And I was like, were they upset that I didn't carry a 3X?
Like, why knock over someone's merch?
Like, their shirts!
No, but I've never...
I will never understand the rationale of someone who goes to a stand-up comedy club, which is going to be raunchy, offensive humor, to get offended.
It would be like me as a young Jewish boy going to a neo-Nazi concert and then complaining about what I hear.
Say, excuse me, guys, would you mind toning that down?
Like, you go to the event knowing what it is.
If it's not edgy, if it's not raunchy, if it's not...
Insulting to somebody, it's not funny.
But this is the question now, Chrissy.
You're living in a world...
I don't know if we're on the rebound side of the political correctness.
I have a feeling we are.
What is it like doing the live comedy tour now or doing live shows now where you, on the one hand, are dealing with people who want to laugh and who want to laugh at the absurdity of our reality, but on the other hand, the people who are so stuck in the reality that they'll get upset if you actually make a joke about Dylan Mulvaney.
Who has a penis, not being a woman.
Right, and that whole thing was a riff.
I hadn't planned to do any Dylan Mulvaney jokes at all.
I had a couple of trans jokes that I do that are shorter, but since my friend Keanu Thompson, who was the host, that was the joke the whole tour, from Vegas to Dallas, that she kind of looks like...
Dylan Mulvaney, that people on Fremont Street were asking her what day of girlhood she was on.
When you go on a mini tour or whatever, do shows with the same people, I end up making jokes about the people I'm with just because Lila Hart, who's 4 '6", she has spina bifida, I've done a lot of shows with her.
I'll oftentimes be like, oh yeah, just ignore your Amber Alerts.
Those are for Lila.
She's here with us.
She's safe.
You end up just making jokes about the people that you're doing shows with, like Alex Stein.
There's so many things.
To, like, make fun about him, too.
And that was one of the jokes, is that, like, Keanu kind of looks like Dylan, and I'm riffing about Dylan, and I'm kind of just like, yeah, what?
Why hasn't she gotten tits?
Like, what?
She's had all the time in the world, you know, and all the resources, access to the best doctors, all the money.
You really want to be a woman?
Like, tits, that's right away.
Like, what's taking so long?
And no seeming interest to get anything done.
And I've been saying this whole time, I'm like, Dylan could tomorrow wake up and be like, I guess I'm going back to it.
I'm just going to be a dude with a tight face now.
Like, Dylan has...
He's not all in, you know?
He can go back to being a gay male, which is what this typically was before this whole...
A thing took over.
It's like, if you're a gay male, you're in the wrong body and you must be trans.
He'll have that luxury.
And then other people, like the people I've had on the show, will not have that luxury because they've taken the step that cannot be untaken.
The club that you're at, is there now on the live comedy scene a dichotomy between, let's just say, the Joe Rogan-esque type clubs and the ones where you can't make certain joke type clubs?
Well, yeah.
I mean, that's kind of part of the reason why I don't have more gigs is because I don't have any management or any agents.
And like, that's the way it works is like, let's say somebody has the same, they have, I don't know who everyone's represented by, but you can look it up.
It's any mainstream comic, like has their representation on the website or whatever.
So let's say you have like a household name, like, I don't know, Berg Kreischer, but he also represents somebody smaller.
Maybe that is on my level.
The way that these agents and managers will work, they'll book you, they'll talk to whatever, flappers.
Okay, well, they definitely want Bert, or they want this household name these weekends.
Alright, well, let's do that, and let's get our smaller people in, too, because the management always wants to book all of their clients, but that's how these smaller comics help.
They're helped to get into these clubs, do you know what I mean?
Because they'll rep the much bigger people, and then they'll get their smaller people their dates, too, because the clubs want to work with the very big people, and they want to work with the...
Like, esteemed, you know, like, management companies.
But, like, nobody will touch me.
I voted for Trump.
I was at January 6th.
Like, I am seen as part of the alt-right.
So, nobody will represent me.
So, like, every show I get is just from writing to these clubs, being like, I have this much following.
This is my press kit.
This is how many listens I get on my podcast.
Things like that.
Like, here's how well I've done in similar markets.
I look at YouTube analytics.
I go, okay, where do most of my fans seem to be living?
And then I target those areas.
I just can't, I can't just perform anywhere.
And then I see all these requests, like, come here, come here.
How come you haven't come here?
And then it's people, like, listing these mainstream clubs.
I'm like, these places, like, and I don't want to say, don't, like, never say never, but, like, these places won't have me.
And I was just talking to Tyler Fisher about this, like, literally the other day, Tyler was like, I'm at the comedy cellar in New York City, like, many nights.
Like, most nights, sometimes I close, I crush.
Still, nobody will touch me.
He's like, I don't understand.
Like, aren't the cultural tides turning in the...
In favor of comedians like you and I, it still feels like we're just the untouchables.
Like, aren't we the cash cows, he was saying to me?
I'm like, it doesn't feel like that because it feels like these management companies are leftist and it seems like they don't want to manage someone who doesn't have the same political...
And also, comedy and Hollywood are still very...
It's intertwined, especially when you get into movies, commercials.
And Hollywood is super left.
And so I think a lot of these comedy management companies are also very left because that's who they eventually want to push into deals.
Madison Square Garden and getting on certain movies and stuff like that.
And I just think politically it's still...
Who knows?
Or maybe I'm just not that funny.
And no one wants to rep me for that reason.
But it just feels...
It feels like I have a stink on me, which is fine and I embrace and I wouldn't want it any other way because this is who I truly am and how I truly feel and I'd so much rather be doing it this way and have my few fans that are ride or die than be a sellout, then get vaxxed, you know what I mean?
Or like run around with a fake vax card or pretend I thought the lockdowns were great, you know, just to get booked at a few more gigs a year.
Like, fuck that.
I couldn't sleep at night.
For those who don't understand the economy of stand-up comedy, where is, for a typical comedian, the best or the most lucrative venue, the path, I guess?
Is it doing the shows?
Do those pay?
Or do even those who do the shows, they do that to promote their stuff independently?
How does it work in the field?
For me, I probably make most of my...
So when I lost my job...
For me, the podcasting kind of made up for the money that I lost from not having a day job.
And comedy stand-up for me, live stand-up is just like a percentage of my income.
But it's still mostly what I make from doing my compound media show, YouTube, all of the things.
And if I get a random sponsor for that, if that like...
I mean, I'm sure I could be booking more stand-up.
And that's the thing is I don't know how the really successful people do it.
I guess it depends if you sell out a room and you're there Thursday through Sunday and you do like two shows a day.
I mean, it's hard to know like what the successful people are making because I'm just like not there yet.
Well, I'm just trying to think of like how it happens.
Is one sort of like advertising that leads to other more lucrative...
Sponsorships or gigs, or is the summit, the pinnacle, the stand-up show?
And I was at the Reawakened tour where I saw Alex Stein, and Jim Brewer was doing a bit in front of the entire crowd.
Oh, I love Jim.
Well, he's amazing, but then I'm thinking like, okay, I don't know if he was paying anything of how it works.
I presume he was, but it's a big room.
There's a lot of people there, but Jim Brewer is sort of an established comedian who's now sort of...
I don't say fallen off the rails, but definitely thinks January 6th was exactly what it was.
Thinks Russiagate was exactly what it was.
Thinks the jab is exactly what it is.
And it might be a totally different world for him than someone who's coming up in this new world now where you don't have that, not that network, but that root structure system.
On the comedy tour itself, is there a blossoming right wing?
And I call it right wing.
I'm just going to call it the other.
You got your left wing, and then you got your...
All-inclusive.
Is there a blossoming all-inclusive?
Or is it, even from a club perspective, not yet a blossoming industry?
It's so tricky because I've definitely been labeled a right-wing comedian, even though if you were to look at a typical stand-up set, it's not particularly...
I think a lot of my jokes are still...
Like, from the position of, like, just being a fucking, like, white chick in America.
I don't know.
Like, I have jokes about getting waxed.
I have jokes about my fiancé.
I have jokes about dating somebody with a kid.
I have jokes about, like, different jobs I've had and just relationships, you know?
Had I been a different person in different packaging, you'd be like, oh, this is like liberal.
This is like a liberal chick stand-up comedy.
But over the last few years, I have noticed, yeah, I am talking more about the lockdowns and the Rona.
And depending on what city I'm in, I'll comment on whatever is going on in that city or whoever is running it or fucking it up, that sort of thing.
But I find when I do take, I'll take a risk and say stuff that's more based on stage and then that gets good feedback.
It just emboldens me to lean harder in that direction.
And I think over the last couple of years, I have become much braver.
Ever since I put out this album, I was like, I'm going to call my album Live from January 6th.
And half of it is about January 6th.
The other half was just jokes I've had over the years.
I'm like, once I sort of decided, I guess this is like I'm branding myself with it.
This is funny.
Why not?
I was there.
bring it on.
Like I am It was fun.
It was chill.
It's been reported unfairly.
Yeah, I have become more brave about just speaking.
And sometimes, this is what I was saying before, sometimes comedy is all about just saying the honest thing in the moment.
You don't even necessarily need a punchline.
Sometimes you just get up there.
And that's what this Dylan Teckler moment was all about.
I was just saying...
True things.
I was just saying no because he's a man.
Some of us believe in reality and some of us don't.
Not particularly clever.
Not particularly edgy in my opinion.
These are the comments that are in most of our Twitter feeds every day.
But just to say it out loud, sometimes you can feel it.
This is why we need comedy because it's like a pressure release.
I'm not crazy.
Okay.
Somebody else thinks this too.
Wow.
Okay.
This is all right.
Good.
I'm not the only one who thinks this.
All right.
The left, they want to control us at our schools, at our jobs.
These women were trying to treat this comedy club like their corporate DEI training.
Maybe they're teachers.
Maybe they work in HR.
If I were to take a guess, yeah, I would say maybe HR.
Or maybe they're preschool teachers.
I don't know.
Maybe they're just getting ready to come out to their students on Monday.
Who knows?
These women that feel the type of heckler you can, like, over the years, you start to go, you start to figure out, like, their deal.
Just like I can guess an Indian man in the audience has a job in IT, and nine times out of ten, I'm right, you know?
And these women, they live with these hecklers, like, in their life, they're never wrong, they're never challenged, but at the comedy club, they also want to be in control and have their reality be the main, the reality that everybody...
I guess bends the knee to.
And that's the thing.
The comedy club is where you should be laughing at things that would get you fired from your job.
You should be saying things at a comedy club that would get you fired from your job.
You should be saying side comments to your buddy at the table.
Because this is all we have left.
It's our release.
It's why people watch sports.
It's why people play video games.
We need that escape.
And with comedy, it's almost like people are looking for just honesty.
Propaganda everywhere.
In our phones, on our TVs, in the radio.
And it's like, the comedy club feels like the only place where you can just hear something real.
It's the whole thing.
If something is detached from reality, it's not funny.
There has to be an element of truth in it.
And I think Chappelle has shown that the comedians of today are really the gestures of the past or the modern day philosophers where they have to bring up the absurdity of the times for the people to understand.
Of course, in the olden days, it was always the jesters that would get executed by the king if they went one step too far.
But without getting there, I'm going to give you, I don't know if you've seen this video, speaking of just denying reality and the absurdity of life.
Look at this.
I'm feeling statistics now.
I'm feeling statistics.
Wow.
I feel bad for these people.
How are you going to go through life if you can't handle someone talking shit from behind a fence?
If you're going to react at an 11 to that, how are you going to react when there's actual problems in your life, when your mom dies, when you lose your job?
I don't know.
There's no coping skills.
It is the old expression.
If you're not liberal when you're young, you have no heart.
And if you're not conservative when you're old, you have no brain.
But Chrissy.
Okay, so hold on, because we're going to run out of time.
I know you got a hard out.
The other thing that you made the news for, Chrissy, and I'm still trying to piece together this story.
Was it a troll from day one?
Was it a troll from minute one that you masterfully exploited?
Or, and I'm saying this, where's the article?
Or, was it legitimately...
It was.
It really was.
And I don't mean to call you a baby if you found it legitimately embarrassing.
No, call me a baby.
I just have no idea what the hell is going on here.
This is the after picture, I think, from what I understand, not the before picture.
So you're flying to Vegas for the event where you got the heckling event, right?
That's where the heckling occurred?
Yes, this was on the flight from Vegas to Dallas.
This was before any of the heckler moments happened.
We had the Friday Night Tights Geeks and Gamers meet up in Vegas.
Then I was headlining at The Space and I had Keanu and Lila Hart on for that one too.
And we were staying at the Rio, which is an old, fabulous hotel in Vegas.
They used to have the WSOP there until they no longer did.
I love an old hotel.
I don't like the nice hotels.
I'd rather do Fremont Street and drink a glass of gin at a smoky bar.
And so we went to this store at the Rio, which everyone's boomer mom would love.
Everything there is sparkly.
Everything's covered in rhinestones.
And I'm like, I love this store.
I bought boots.
I bought that whole outfit there.
It's basically like a sheer cover-up outfit.
I'm wearing a sparkly bathing suit under it.
Me and Keanu are both like, let's just wear these fabulous outfits on the plane.
Why not?
Let's just continue the Vegas as long as possible.
We check our bags.
At the curb, no issue from that American Airlines employee.
I don't go through the machines because my mom died of cancer and I'm like weird about the airport machines.
So I had to do the pat down and I got a lovely pat down by a lovely butch woman.
She had no problem with my outfit.
She did the behind the hands.
She didn't linger.
She was very professional, but she didn't say, hey, you're gonna have to change your pants.
So we passed through multiple employees that like no one said anything about our outfits.
We're at a bar.
We go, oh, shit.
It's about 15 minutes before our flight's taking off.
We kind of zoom over.
We're among the last to get on.
All of a sudden, I feel a tap on my shoulder.
I go, this is it.
I'm getting taken away for January 6th.
Goodbye, Keanu.
Finish the tour without me.
They got me.
And he's like, excuse me, ma 'am, you have to change your pants.
I was like, what?
The pants are just skin tight.
They're just pants.
They're okay.
I'm not like a sausage in there.
They're fitted.
They're like stretchy pants that are a little sheer.
But I was wearing a full brief, a full bathing suit brief underneath.
But I'm just saying, did the pants have the print of a woman's vagina on it so that people thought you were naked?
No.
They're just pants.
No, I didn't have an exposed asshole out or anything.
Keanu was the one who was naked from the waist down because her underwear was sewn into her skirt.
And so I'm quickly, all of her luggage is checked away.
I'm quickly, I go, I hear you have to change your pants.
I immediately snap into action because I don't want to miss this flight.
We have to literally drive in the morning from Dallas to Austin.
Like I have to be on Infowars.
So I'm like, I can't miss that.
So I'm opening up my suitcase.
I grab shorts out and then Keanu comes over.
Is everything okay?
The guy goes, yeah, you too.
Points at her and goes, you too.
You have to change your pants too.
And she's like, what?
And I'm like, oh God.
And I throw the pair of shorts at her too.
I like literally grab these two pairs of shorts and all of a sudden I'm just driving.
Stopping trow at the gate, putting these shorts on, because we can't miss this flight.
We can't stay in Vegas.
We have all these plans.
We have all these appearances set.
And I'm trying to block Keanu, and she's like, oh my god, the underwear is sewn into my skirt.
And I'm just like, just go, go, go, go.
And so she's actually, her ass, everything is out.
Like, I don't know who saw.
I'm sure the camera and the dude that had told us to change, nobody said, hey, take five minutes, go to the restroom.
Nobody said, hey, we'll hold the flight.
Nobody said, hey, go behind the desk.
I don't even understand the rationale behind it.
But the bottom line is, you were not creating this incident so that it would be a funny troll on the airlines.
This was legit unexpected.
No, this was very unexpected.
And I figured, like, we're coming from Vegas.
We're wearing very Vegas-y outfits.
Like, how many probably actual prostitutes do they see every day wearing far worse?
I just really thought we would be fine.
And you got an apology from American Airlines?
Kind of barely.
It was like, ah, like a sorry this happened to you email.
They didn't offer anything.
And I'm a gold member.
I don't know if you knew that.
Now I know that when you tweeted out, is this how they treat people with the rewards clients?
And I didn't know if that was...
I don't know what's part of the joke and what's not, but holy crap.
You're coming out of Vegas.
It's like, when I flew out of Vegas, when was I there?
Recently.
The people I saw dressed on the plane, I mean, okay, I could understand that.
What you put yourselves into was even more revealing than what they must have.
Because you didn't even say, hey, here's what's wrong with your outfits.
Here's what you should wear instead.
I was like, I assume it's because my pants are a little sheer.
But again, I'm wearing a full, large, black bikini bottom under it.
Like a bathing suit bottom.
Again, no follow-up.
He probably saw us changing, didn't think to stop us.
He should have been like, oh my god, no, no, no, wait.
Of course, I didn't mean here.
No, nothing like that.
They should have had a woman tell us to change our pants because it's kind of creepy when a dude is like, change your pants.
The stories we've heard of, people say, take that hat off.
It says, take your MAGA hat off and I don't feel comfortable sitting next to you.
I don't even understand how they asked you to do that.
Let alone coming out of Vegas.
Chrissy, I don't want to hold you past your hard-out time.
Let me do one thing real quick, like, go back to Rumble and just read these two Rumble rants.
Chrissy Mayer is the funniest female comedian I've seen.
Imagine how funny she would be if she was a man.
Lord of the Reed.
I think about that every day.
That's not a bad joke, Lord of the Reed.
And Matt G. Hammond says Chrissy Mayer is the best.
Chrissy, so...
What do you have next on the horizon?
Where can people find you?
And what links are you going to send me right when we're done so that I can put them in a pinned comment?
I will be buying a strap-on to wear on my next flight.
I will have a visible cock outline so that this doesn't happen again.
Okay?
I'm going to start saying I'm trans.
You can't do this to me.
I don't know.
Maybe I'll just do blackface.
That's not empowerment.
Racial crossover is not empowerment yet.
I think I can do trans easier than I can do a different race.
I'm going to have a penis on me next time I fly somewhere.
I will be in New Jersey July 8th at TIFF's in Morris Plains.
I'm going to try to add a few more dates to the calendar for summer, but I will definitely be in Virginia August 9th, and then I'll be at Anime Matsuri in Houston in August.
I think that convention is from the 10th to the 13th, and I'm headlining that weekend in Houston at the Seeker Group on Friday, August 11th, so you guys can get tickets for all those shows now.
And the podcast, you still have, I don't even want to say the name of it, is it still the same podcast?
The Chrissy Mayer podcast.
The last time we interviewed, it was the Wet Spot.
Yeah, I had that one too.
So you got the Chrissy Mayer podcast, the Wet Spot podcast.
Are you on Rumble as well?
I am on Rumble.
Yeah, I am on Rumble.
Everything sort of copies over to Rumble.
That's how I have it set up.
Are you on Locals yet?
No, Locals is intimidating to me.
Okay, I'm going to DM you afterwards.
We're going to figure that out real fast.
Look, I say...
Honing comedy, getting ideas, practicing.
I mean, I would imagine.
I'm not in the industry, but that would be like an amazing place to do it.
Ooh.
I'm intrigued, for sure.
And also, Simpcast on my YouTube channel, Sundays at 9 p.m. Eastern.
Also, I will be doing a one-on-one interview with Dr. Peter McCullough, date to be determined.
I should be firming that up in the next couple weeks.
Fantastic.
All right.
Chrissy, you stick around.
We'll say our proper goodbyes.
Oh, sorry.
There was one more here.
It says, for me, happy birthday, Viva.
23rd.
I know because I'm a week...
Is it Monday or Tuesday?
The 23rd of May.
I'm turning 44 freaking years old.
Next Tuesday.
Wow.
Next Tuesday.
Yep, sounds good.
So you're a Gemini or a Taurus?
I am a Gemini.
Oh, that's way better.
That explains a lot if anyone believes in that stuff.
I'm not sure that I do because all of those astrological descriptions are broad enough to include everybody and anybody for every given month.
That's exactly what a Gemini would say.
Classic.
Chrissy?
Thank you.
Let's do this again.
It's been phenomenal.
Everyone in the chat, I'm going to end this and Chrissy and I are going to say proper goodbyes, but I'll put up the links where you can find Chrissy.
Chrissy, thank you.
Thank you, guys.
Hail to the chat.
