"A Briny Nothing That's Just for Luxury" (w/ Jenny Slate)

went to Provincetown about a month ago. About a month ago, did we tell the readers about Provincetown? I can't remember if we've broken it down for the readers. Can I just say it's it's a while. And I was saying the hot engineer dog, I was saying the hot I was saying both with him. Absence makes the heart. And then my sister said, grow stronger, and that I think should be what it is. It's actually really culture never

seventeen heart grow stronger. Hotti. Piana is saying, we mentioned it briefly in our culture catch up, but I knew it. I think we can break it down even further with our guests when we bring her in. Well, it's where we met the guests. That's where we met the guests, so that would be only appropriate. Bow. You know where else we went, which is sort of let's just say, a queer destination. Since the last time we recorded was the fire Island Pines. Bow, Oh my god, what was

the time? What a wonderful week was really wonderful and lots of new memories were made. Yeah, I got so ill at the end that I thought I would die. That's hard. You really were not feeling great, y'all. Don't get food poisoning. Whatever you can do to avoid it. Do it. Is that what it was, We're gonna say it was so. So let's here's the thing, you guys, and so if you're sort of you know, plug your ears.

Foods are something you eat. Also on fun the firelines, you eat something some other type of you eat other things there. It might make you sick. Here's what I'd say to everyone. Let's just make sure that even when we're on vacation, we're sort of taking care of our scrubbing. We're really washing up, because you know, when you share parts of yourself with other people, you also share germs. You share germs, and am I being explicit enough for

the readers? I think so our guest is giggling silently. But I think an antiseptic is so necessary. I know people say, oh, halitosis is a made up disease. It doesn't matter. I want my mouth to be clean. That's not made up. Cleanliness is not a made up concept when it comes to oral hygiene. Do you know what I mean? Sure? Yeah, of course. All I'm saying is, um, I got a one hundred and three fever and the most intense abdominal pains of my life because those are

so powerful, because what calling food poisoning? So um, I'm sorry. And I am at my parents house and they are sort of sort of hashtag in the next room, so um, you know, but they know who their son is or um, and uh, them's the breaks. As Johnson just said in his resignation speech, did he say that, he said that he's the American thing. Well, you know, he might have learned it from his best friend, Donald J. Trump, But he said, um, he said, it's tough to be leaving

the best job in the world. But them's the breaks. And I thought, well, that's a classy way to sort of leave the prime ministry. Is it the best job in the world? What is the best job in the world? I think, Oh, I think imagine the songwriter for best jobs in the world. You know, the thing about Imagineer is it's actually a lot of engineering, which people love engineers do. It's actually really culture number two engineer. Engineers

love engineering engineering. But I think I think the top four hundred, the ranking of the jobs, of the top four hundred jobs, is that going to be next year's list that we do the top four hundred jobs. It's not gonna be next year. It's gonna be two years because you know, for another hundred episodes, we need fifty two weeks in a year for our four episode. You heard here. First, we're going to count down the top four hundred jobs, Top four hundred jobs. That'll be good. Okay,

let's bring our guests in. We're so excited to use here. Well, this is a thrilling day. This is the first of all, this is a huge day in the culture. Jen Shaw has pled guilty. So this is a major, major day. And to mark that, we decided let's have a great guest. Um, I have to say, um wiping away tears watching the newest film from the Guests. I mean we met at in the Provincetown Film Festival, and I can only describe her sort of in person presence as warm, yet majestic,

truly regal. Yet yeah, you know what I'm saying. But it's like it's it's giving, Princess Die. It was, it was giving. It was a princess for the people. But Princess Die, I think sad and with no, no, not sad, not sad. I think I think everything is a little sad, you know what I mean. With with with our guests, I think, hey, hey, it was it was sort of like a warmth that there was a majesty. I know, our princess die is they don't and our guest is

do they do? Okay, So our guest is truly a fantastic after comedian writer Um and is currently currently in a film that you can see. You can see this movie Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, and you can see it in the theaters.

And we happened to see it and it was a thrilling Epps resolutely, I mean Julaki and Booster doesn't like it when we described when anyone describes the film Fire Island is cute, But I was watching it and I was just like, Marcel is the most adorable creature that's ever lived. And everything that Marcel says touches the heart. But the way that this was done was so inventive and great, and I have just so many questions and compliments about this, but also so much else that our

guest has done. Obviously one of the best films ever, obvious child UM. I always think about their performance as Tally Shiffern and girls. Tally Shiffern, who truly one of the girls characters who like has an amazing art, yes, an important and Hannah's journey absolutely anyway, she's She's we just love her so much, We've loved her for so long. What else you have to say? I was just gonna say, never forget publicity, publicity, legendary, like truly, I mean, this

is one of the greatest, and I I was. I was so excited to meet her, and I'm so excited to ever on the pod me too. And something happened to her on the plane from UM on her plane to New York City that she told me about that. I would I would love to get into with her. Okay, put put up in that, but please welcome. It was so hard to not I guess I could have muted this whole time, but I just was. First I was laughing about what how you got sick from from what you ate? Oh my gosh. And there are so many

things to say, and then the jobs. I just can't understand. I don't understand the imagineer thing at all. I think it seems really stressful. And yeah, because I think people think you're just thinking up like roller coaster ideas or movie ideas. But I bet the culture in there is actually probably like intense. Maybe I don't know, I don't might like many things, yeah, that's right. And then your compliments, and I also think it is, you know, like stunning

in a good way to hear people's first impressions. Um, I mean, I I like it, even if they were like wrong or you know, like, um, they're not flattering. Although I hopefully I'm not going to run into that, but I guess maybe someone would be like I thought you were stupid and rude, like so terrible, but and the only the only I will say, like I don't think you're going to run into that, because I think the movie is just so it's just so wonderful, like who who can poke? Who? Who would want to poke

a hole in it? Or whatever? But like the only like I feel like there's maybe more room for like an oblique an obliquely incorrect or like unflattering sort of piece of feedback for Fire Island, which the only but the only negative comment I got in person about the movie was in p Town for the festival. Really, what would you mind sharing? What was this? This? This person sort of this was right after this was okay, so Jenny and I did this, received this this Next Wave award.

It was a huge honor, and we did this little talk back um with Judy Gold, who's a legend. And then afterwards on on the way back, on the way out of that after you and I, after we all parted ways, someone stopped me and said, Bowen, congrats on the movie started out nice. I was like, thank you so much, and then he said, now, why did you have to make lesbians look so disgusting? And that what? What? And then I was like, oh, I don't think we did.

And then all all I had, all I could do was just walk away because like I was with Matt and then our Olivian Cara managers were there and they just kind of like kept shoveling us along. But I was like that it was it was a little jarring. And then but then the happy ending is afterwards we were we we went out later that night for dinner, and then that same person stopped us and went, I'm so bo and I'm sorry about that. Commentarily, I don't know what. I was like, Oh, don't worry about it,

and so it was. But that is truly and and it's a blessing that like the only negative in person critique that I've gotten on the movie, which is about something that I had nothing to do with. And also I don't know, it rounded out into something lovely by the end. Yeah, people, I mean it is. You know,

this is a crazy story. But I don't know if you remember that there was a person sitting in the front row and that they were like like it was you know, an older an older woman, and um, she tried to ask a question but just could not do it.

She just had a lot to say and she had a lot to say, and Judy was kind of like getting on her about it was like then Judy started screaming into the microphone, asked the question, asked the question, and you know, and this lady was like, you know, she was kind of like just riding her own spaceship into infinity, like she was just doing her thing and

totally harmless whatever. Um. So last week I get a call from my mom and she's like, because my parents were there, as you know, you met them, you guys met them. My Mom's like, Jenny, you know that it's like you know that lady that was sitting in the front row of the Keytown thing. And I was like, yeah, of course I remember that, Like that was you know that that is a that memory is like in a

little frame in my mind. I remember that. She's like she called the house, called my parents at their home, at the home of Nancy and Ron Slate and this and and apparently what she said was I have I have an idea. I have an important idea for Jenny's career. Oh my god. And you know that, like I have told my parents, like, please, if if somebody calls for me, it's it's just not legit, Like if they need to find me, they really they know how and it's just

it just you can't really open that up. And so I've just been like, you know, you're just gonna have to say it. I can't help you or whatever. But my dad like they can't. Why is it so hard to just follow a simple instruction. I just don't get that. And my parents were specifically bad, Like if I'm like, could you just wake me up by eight fifteen? And my mom's like got it? And then I wake up, it's like and I'm like, why didn't you wake me up? So I'm forty You're like, why are your parents waking

you up? But anyway, apparently my dad went on like a long winded thing and was like, oh, yeah, listen, um, I actually have a lot to do today. I have to go to the dump and the mailbox, and like, truely, oh yeah, my dad was dump every day. Yeah, I'll get Dad's go to the dump every day, is what I'm learning. Anyway, I didn't hear the idea, but there's something about that woman and about a lot of people, and that they in the way that they ensnare you right.

It's literally like they like you're you're walking through a forest and then they're this snare this root that catches your foot and you just get stuck there for a little bit. And that's that's the vibe I got from her at the thing. Oh yeah, and you know that if you're I mean some people, I guess if they're if they are like, as you say, like a public facing person or whatever, and and someone comes up to them, they're like they have their boundaries and they know what

to do. But like, I'm just the same as I've always been. I don't really want to hurt anyone's feelings and I I should be sort of tougher or something. It's not interested in it, And I don't really want someone to be like she was really unkind, you know, like which is bad because people can really use that as a threat. But like, I don't want to like shoot on some lady who was so excited and like energized that she literally forgot to ask a question. Sure,

I didn't mind her, Fine, she was excited. I mean something that's something that you're encountering. Bone and I have. Now we we we after the Province town thing, we traveled so much, like we went down to the Bahamas to do the view. Yeah, so we were there there they were all there. It was the anniversary, so we went down to go do the view in the Bahamas

and then that's where they were celebrating it, etcetera. And by the way, this was the day after real Vie Wade was overturned, so they were discussing it like with like t drinks in front of them and like sunglasses

on and like it was. I don't think where they wanted to be when this happened, but you know, we all it wouldn't happen at all, right there they were, and so um we were there doing it and after we taped the segment, we were like enjoying like the pool and like you know, because we were down there and this girl sort of ran up to Bowen and made a noise sort of like this, and like Sten started like feeling her own tips like I've never hearden

her thing. Her tick was to like press her boobs together in excitement, and then she was like, can I can I just follow you guys, and we were like no, and I'm like you, I'm like you, Jenny, like I don't feel like I can never I can't shut someone down like that and not not just flat out like no, I'm not doing this right now here. But but this person was like really like I had never seen a reaction like this, and um, so we did have to just sort of be like, no, we're on vacation. No,

like please, like you can't take a picture. She goes, can I just take a picture of him? Not with her, of him? And we were like no, and like she so she had to go away. But like with a person like that, you didn't have to be like the answer is a hard no exclamation point get out. I mean, it's it's weird, but it's it's just it's weird. Oh. This was the thing that I wanted to ask about in terms of what happened on this flight to New York. Okay, you told me that you you spilled a bloody mary

in your purse. Oh my god. And also this reminds me, um, okay, sorry, so no, go ahead, go ahead, No, no, that that's all I'm just putting that there. What what? What? What what happened did remind you of? Well? It also reminded me that while I was at my parents house this weekend that I my dad was like, I couldn't bring my award with me. They were like it was like a big award in like a large in like a shoebox sort of box, like a big box and um, and my son I was like, dad, will you take

this for me? And I'll come get it, you know, when I come back. And then my dad was a year's your award and I got the box and bow and yang on wait wait, at least the box. I didn't even my award is behind me and it says my name, so you should have your said maybe they said, oh yeah, well anyway, yeah I didn't open it. Yeah. I was like okay, um, I just put it in

my bag. But anyway, so what happened was that I I went to meet my husband and my baby in Nantucket and um, and then like something had that that island is like almost always covered in fog, like you actually really can't get a flight out to it. So anyway, I was stuck in the airport to then get to New York City and it just took forever and ever and ever, and they wouldn't let us out to go to the bar, which like increased my appetite for a cocktail. Like what you know, just I really am one of

those people. It's like you say, I can't have it. I just really really wanted. I mean that, you know, my mom like really restricted TV and soda when we were younger, and now, like I would just watch a like commercial for plaque pariasis, like it's like Barishnikov footage, Like I just I'm like, I just look like my mouth hangs open. I always want soda. I very rarely have it, but like I would, you know whatever. Anyway, So by the time I got on the plane, I

was like, oh, fuck it, I'm doing this. And I got a bloody mary and I um and it was like a very rocky, very brief flight, and I was wearing my mask. And also I can't really tell where I all in the culture, like maybe people like know me, maybe they don't. It's a very mixed bag. I you know, I really we've threw we through my reality, like like I just can't tell what's going on, Like what kind of impact am I making consistently? I don't. I don't know that there is one. So I was like, I'm

just a stranger on the plane. I was watching this kid across from me was clearly fifteen years old. Somehow ended up in the like first class section of the plane. Which I was lucky enough to be in. And this slight attendant is like, can I get your company? And he's like, and I'm like, you are not you are a child, and he's like, can I can I get

a Roman poop? And so I'm like, if this baby literally is doing this and I'm not gonna say anything, I'm gonna ask for like two of the little bottle of vodka because I'm getting picked up the air or whatever. So I like, I, for some reason, because the child did some things makes no sense, get like a stronger Bloody Mary. I jumped it in. I dumped the two vodkas into the Bloody Mary mix. I take a huge gulf of it. I am immediately like advanced buzzed, like I'm not I'm not like, hi, what time does a

fine land? But I'm like I'm like weirdly like kind of like my mouth feels soft, and I'm like, I know that if somebody were to talk to me, I probably would have like trouble enunciating and something like that, you know, yeah, oh yeah. So and it was like it happened so quickly and so then we ump. I spilled me in like the whole half that was left.

I just I took in like half as if I'd been hit by a wave of seawater, Like I just took it in and then and then and then the rest of it went into my purse where there's my journal and my you know, it was just like all this stuff and it's it's like, you know, my favorite purse for traveling that's like kind of like an open toe, a leather toe, and it just is like it just me thinking quotes the inside of my person. I'm like,

this is so nasty. And all of a sudden, I'm like this drink smells like salsa, Like this is so gross. I smell like it my bad guys. And then the slighted thing that comes over, she's like, oh my god, and she brings me a bunch of napkins and I put into my purse like stopping it up, stopping it up like pieces of bread. And then and then I'm like, I'm so sorry, I am so sorry. This is uh, this is just crazy, Like I am really really really sorry. Let me at this, and it's just like it's okay.

And then she comes through in the trash cart, thank you so much, and I take my big, big like bundle of of like yeah, my wad of of bloody mary soaked cocktail napkins and go, thank you so much. And I go to throw it in her cart like she's like, han, I'll take it, and I'm like no, no, absolutely not, i gonna throw it like I'm just gonna air Jordans this into the into the trash bag and I throw them all over the aisle of the airplane

and it was sucked so much. And then she was like okay, and and then she she like was like no, please, don't get up. And so then she cleaned it up and put it in the thing, and I was like, well, this is really embarrassing, but at least I, like, you know, basically only took my mask off one time to take my huge gulf and nobody knows that this happened. And then um, and then when we were getting off the plane, she was like, she was like, it was really nice

to meet you. I really enjoy your work. And I was like, she's the one person there and also probably the fifteen year old you look over, he's like really dignified, like sipping his rum and tiny steps like it sucks. I was so serious and like mess up and it just it's like it all happened so quickly. But yeah, the purse is retired. Now. Do you feel that Bloody Mary's are ruined for you now? Or will you continue to slurp them? It will take more than that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

I love Oh, I love. I love a good spicy BM. I love it like um. There used to be a place in Brooklyn when we had my friends and I had our stand up show there that would put a whole sphere. Yeah, spear, I love a pickle sphere, just like don't dunked in as if it's it's a stir or something. Yeah. It was called sound Fixed. It was before we were at the cameo. It was called sound Fixed. It was like a record store with a big bar in the back, and they would have like McClure's Spicy

Bloody Mary mixed. I can't even talk my mouth filled. Yeah. I probably up by where you are now you can get a really good interesting bloody married too. I say interesting m M. They're always putting like a crab law in it though You're like, oh, I'm interested in it's a garnish. Where I used I used I worked in seafood restaurants for like ten years. I'm from Long Island and I started as a bus boy at a at a restaurant called Nikki's on the Bay, and then I

worked all through Brooklyn. I worked at this place called Brooklyn Crab and Red Hook. Oh yeah, yeah, do you know? Oh no, I'm thinking of Green Points. But I used to live on Henry Streets. I used to live near here. But anyway, Oh, that's so funny you say Henry Street. I saw a funny girl two days ago, and there they make a big to do of Henry Street. She stret yes, they do. Um, but yeah, but we used to do an oyster as a garnish whoa, which is

a real flex. Yeah. Oh yeah. I mean I would prefer that I'm allergic to oysters, but I would if I weren't. I would prefer that over the crab claw. You're allergic to oysters. That's a Massachusetts tragedy that I hate it. It's so much. It's like everything I would enjoy in a food, just like a briny a briny nothing that's like just for luxury. I'm saying. That's just I can relate to being restricted of TV. We didn't grow up with cable and parents never let me drink soda.

Now I can't live without either. And so do you think you're gonna are you You're probably gonna have to restrict some things for Ida, for your baby, right yes? Yeah, Oh no, I mean she's not We don't let her like watch TV at all, and I think it will come in very purposeful moments. But we also don't have a TV because we're like, you know, we just watched things on our computer. We don't have an actual TV because we're really not We're really not TV or car people.

Like we have old computers and we have like a really shitty Subaru filled with garbage and sand and that I actually just garbage in the car likes so gross, and um my whole family this weekend was like then clean the car. And I was trying to explain to them, like it's it's gone too far. There's point of yeah, you guys feel that way. I mean, Matt, Matt, you feel that way about your car. Oh No, there are certain points where it's just like I'll have to have

a friend be like, honey, you have a problem. Yeah, it's like something someone has to step in here. Like it's usually Greta, our friend Greta, who's usually like, hey, I just put her hand on my shoulder and she'll just say I just want to say it's okay, but we have to stop, and we have like we we you have to stop. And then I will just sort of like sift through like the I don't know paper.

Sometimes I will be honest with you. I'm a parking ticket sort of, I'm like, I'm like, they stick to me, why but they do end up in my car and then I pay them, but all in once, like like I'll I'll accumulate them over three months and then I'll pay them. But they're cans um like you know, wrappers for things like straw wrappers. I think we shouldn't. We shouldn't put rappers on straws that especially not a paper straw. It's like if we're doing paper straws, right, which I

which we hate, but we understand why we hate. We understand why like many things, Um, but why would you put a paper wrapper over a paper straw because the wrapper then you're just going to toss away and then that's garbage. So if we're trying to eliminate waste, then be good for the environment. Don't put the paper straw and a and a paper wrapper. No, And I just

I just can't deal with it, the entire thing. But then now they have a cup that's like a sippy cup for adults where you don't even have a straw rice coffee. Like that really bums me out. I think I'd rather the weird paper straw. I just can't believe a scientist hasn't invented some other thing. Yeah, I do. You know what I like is the metals draws. I bringing my own metal straw around like that does like

a new chic accessory like phone wallet keys metal straw. Oh, someone's just gonna get their thighs stabbed by their own metal straw. Oh, you're right. I didn't think of it as a weapon. What's the movie where Kevin Bacon had had like a pencil in his hants and he's got his one of his testicles snabs. Do you know what I'm talking about? I don't know what is this? Someone

will know, one of your listeners will know. There's like a there's a movie where Kevin Bacon um has like an injury to his his character does has an injury to his ball sack and like it comes out where he's like, you ruined my balls whatever any other the other person's like, why were you playing basketball with a pencil in your pocket? Okay, So I just want to say that. I just googled the words Kevin Bacon, pencil

balls and here's what popped up. A Daily Mail article that says the five, the one year old has been charged with the murder and mutilation of Kevin Bacon. Oh no, so there was. This is a whole different situation. But someone was named Kevin Bacon and a dream. No, guys, it's real. Someone will know that it's real. I just I hope someone writes in or or something, but it is. It's not like, um, picture Perfect, I don't think with with Jennifer and I love that movie so much, but um,

it's something like that. It's like anyway plowing up. Wait, hold on, speaking of movies, are you are you are? Are you stick talking about Marcel yet? Are Are you all pressed out? No? Not at all. It's it's weird. It's really nice to talk about it, I think because also we waited seven years and I felt like during that time I couldn't talk about it, So now I'm like, I mean, how long did you see it as a film?

How long? Yeah, like like like like from from from where it started when you released it as a short to where it twelve years ago. So then at what point did you think you and Dean think let's actually actualize this as a feature, which and I had to be much later. It was a couple of years later. It was like we we made the first short just on a whim for fun, for like a totally other purpose,

just to kind of like make a thing. Um. Dean said that he would like make a short video for his friends show, and so we just made it for that, but we never intended to put it online. And then somebody wanted to send it to their mom, so we did and it became like quote unquote viral. Um. And that was kind of early for that experience to happen,

remember um. And And so then that was just like that, and and it was kind of confusing, you know, like sometimes you really don't know or at least for me, I don't understand what like offering is being placed in my feet, you know, Like I do really think a lot about those like Greek myths where like like Zeus comes to the door, but this just guys as a beggar and someone's like I can't or whatever, and it's like like like it's like the Wise, let's them in,

or like the start of Beauty and the Beast of course. Um. But it's like at the time, I was like, I don't know, this is like just a thing that we did. What I'm trying to focus on is to like redeem myself after like you know, like being fired from SNL or something like that. I just didn't see that what was worth something was like there in terms of my own experience, not even just like making a movie, but so like we kind of just had this thing happened to us for a while and we had other goals,

um in our in each of our careers. I think like I just really really wanted to be an actor. I always did, and um at the time the Show Girls was like being cast and I like went in a bunch of times for the role of Morning and like kind of thought maybe I'd get it and and like didn't. And I remember just like I don't know, I've found about Marcel. Like I was just like what the what, what what am I gonna do? Um? How

am I going to get a job. And then Dean and I moved to l A UM in the winter of I think, so that was even like so two more years had passed and we made two kids books UM because that was like fun and relaxing in a way. And then once we were in l a and like, the conversation just naturally kind of came up, I feel like with our agents or something. It was like, would you like to do something more with this? And then we started to talk about like should it be a

TV show or or maybe a movie? And I first thought a TV show. I think Dean and I thought that first, and that the people we were meeting with it just like seemed like it wouldn't be fun UM and it wouldn't be what we wanted it to be UM. And so eventually Liz Home, who produced our movie and created the story with us and produced Obvious Child UM and My special on Netflix and the movie Landline, which she co wrote, worked with her a million times now

and she's one of my closest friends. She brought us to the people that fully funded our our film UM. It was like a nonprofits arts grant that we got to make it in that's because I'm the thing that like kind of blows me away about the movie is that it's like it's the perfect expansion of the shorts and probably the book for that matter, because of the book is like just something really light on its feet.

And then but like I think the whole thing gets sort of carried over into the film where it's not like you guys did like Marcel's big adventure into the world. You know, it's like, you know, like you kept it

in the house, you gave the house this backstory. Um, I don't know, it's just and then and then you and you know, all the meta narratives about like him going quote unquote viral, like are all like yeah, perfectly tent poled in the film in a way that I'm like, God, I can't imagine what it must have been like between you and Dean and and Liz and Nick Paley who wrote the treatment, like for that to be like a seven year process and for you guys to like try

and because there's always about like some forecasting. When you're starting out, you're like, well, what's what's it going to be like in seven years? Like what what will this movie like release into the world? As you know, like that's there. I don't know you guys. I think you

guys just like calibrated it so well. And you know what the weirdest part of that is what you're saying is that, like, I mean, I don't I don't tend to do a lot of that, like forecasting about I mean, now I do forecasting about the world because like, in the last few years, so much has changed about what I thought was like just steady movement in one direction

as reversed and um. And that also includes I think the entertainment industry that I'm like, oh, I used to work one way and not like not exactly that works now and um. But I did not look like seven years into the future or think it would take seven years and be like what will it be? But the weirdest thing was that I was like, you know, I'll probably be the same that I was when we started, um,

when we started to make this movie. And actually I'm I mean, I am myself and my same personality and everything, but but I'm fairly different and um, and lots of different things have happened, Like you know, when Dean and I started to write the treatment, like we were still married you know, like it hasn't even been a decade and I'm like married to someone else now, you know, and I have a baby and like and you know, Dean has his own partner and his life and like

and everything's okay, and like it's just different. It's it's it's like so different than when I thought it would be. But what I like about the story is that like it stands like right next to the truth but doesn't try to like be the truth, you know. And and in that way we're like allowed to change because um and that that's like the weird beauty of the project. I think that probably sounds like very vague, but there's a lot of like um of true things that happened

to us emotionally that they're in that movie. And it sounds like I'm being so like sort of like supercilious in a way about like or like just like so stuck up about my own movie. It's like about a shell.

But I guess you can put your emotion like in anything, and that's like where I put it, you know, But I don't know, well, it's like when when when mal was saying that it was like a cute movie, which it is it's like that also doesn't belie the fact that it's like about this little miniature thing, the shell, but that like it's he's this container for like all these huge concepts and that like this, and that he is kind of like put off by the scale of

things himself, the scale of the world or whatever. But then like, um, what was I gonna say? Oh that, like I told I told you in p Town, it was like, it feels like a Geblie film. It feels like a studio Geebli film, but like live action and stuff emotion, And then, um, I think what you're saying about, like the place you are now, the place Stean is now.

It's like the movie is about like possibility, it's about like it's about like it's after it's it's not just one couple that breaks up, it's two couples that break up that sort of like set these things. Um, I don't know, it's it's so good, Jenny, I haven't even

to stop thinking about it. Thank you. Something I was thinking is like I would imagine that a large part of also its virility in the very beginning in terms of the YouTube video, is that people probably did show it to their kids but what I really like about this movie is that and probably when you did go out to pitch it and like we're exploring the idea of making it a television show, probably a lot of people in a in a sort of understandable yet first

thought way where like, well, this is a kids thing, you know what I mean, it's a shell. He's adorable, like you know, he's got this cute face like the world is, and he's small in a house like this is for kids. And yet I think that this movie like obviously has adult themes, and yet I think because it doesn't try to be for children, it ends up

being foreveryone. And I actually think that kids could enjoy this movie because it reminds me of like, you know, the way that like you know, Toy Story is an animated movie, but the themes are extremely universal, like whereas adults are going to watch it and be like, oh, I'm actually surprised by how much I enjoy this, Like people who enjoy your work and know you were going to watch this and they're gonna understand it and get it and be moved by it. But also like this

is for everyone. I think it doesn't try to pander to any one type of person, and I think that universality actually, and the movie is so specific, yet it is so for everyone because it's understandable on an emotional level. And so therefore I think your movie gets something right which I think more things would would would heed, which is you know, you don't have to like right at a person that's watching it, you know what I mean.

It's like you really explored the specific experience of this show living in the real world, you know, to the point where like he even experiences like the meta thing of your own video going viral, and it's in that unit. There's a universality in the specificity is I guess what I'm saying. That makes it for everyone. And I could see literally all ages and all experiences enjoying it, and

probably they already are, Oh thank you. I mean I think that I think kids do like it, like we you know, sort of looked into that and and they do.

But I think, like what this experience has made me interested in is like how do you create create like a contained piece of something like in a like a creative thing and make it um similar to like the delights and hospitality that you find in like a public space that's for everyone, like an aquarium or the botanical gardens or you know, public pool, Like how do you

make it be like this? Um, you know, not to be pretentious, but like this art is an environment and like I think it's really important, um that we that we have that, and and like I think, you know, like I always loved the descriptions of like why um I think it was Olmstead but made the made Central

Park like what it was? Um, like that it was like, you know, supposed to be like a place for everyone, and like, of course I don't know, like he probably was like a horrible you know, like you can't like there's just no way to Yeah, they look back and be like oh god and god. Um, But I I've always like been into um, you know, like how do you make a place that not everybody has to be

seeing or doing the same thing at once? But like it is it is actually a hundred percent for the end of each individual that's in there, and um, it doesn't it doesn't like freak you out that not everybody's seeing or or treasuring the same thing. And I just like that a lot, I really really do. And I think also there are like to what I feel like

are like prominent, um like instincts right now. One is like the psychotic, you know, like make sure that we know exactly what everything is, Like I want to know where every penis is and every vagina, and I don't want them to be like I hate in one and like you know, don't don't like just basically like everything that's like happening in Florida or whatever. Like it's just like they're like, tell us what it is. Don't change what anything means, like what what it meant to my grandfather?

I needed to like still mean that otherwise I'm just gonna just collapse. And and then there's like the like another point of view that's like, uh, make there be more, Like what is another example of more? What is another example of of like of just like yeah, like just open it up, open it up. But it clearly doesn't work to be so um whatever like oversimplified and um I think I just think that that also can happen with making work like for either like oh it's comedy.

You can't just like make a comedy anymore, like is it a comedy for women? Like it's just so it feels so are to make anything sort of unless you can tell people like exactly who it's for and that it was, Um, I don't feel like everybody trusted us. When Dean and I said it's it's legitimately for everyone,

it is like we really really think it is. And luckily Cinder each who funded our film understood that, and luckily twenty four really gets that and and has supported that kind of like you know, this thing is for everyone. I mean, I hope it can be absolutely absolutely. I mean that's the thing is. It's just like it's a specific thing and that Marcel the Shell with Susan, you'd be like if you didn't know what it was and you saw what it was, you'd be like, oh, that

looks odd. And then when you watch it, it's actually quite a simple story about finding your family, you know what I mean, and not want to change, being afraid of change. I mean, that is a universal story. It's and and also he's been through trauma, like you know, like that's really he's afraid because he knows what it's like to experience loss and he feels that lost coming in in both directions and he's got to face it. And I also want to say the relationship with the

grandmother and Isabella Rossellini is so good. And I will say my favorite line reading in the whole thing is when they're being interviewed and they're talking about the fact that they love sixty Minutes and she just goes Leslie Show and Marcel well, yeah, she calls it the Leslie Shows. She loves Leslie Stall. And the fact that Leslie Stall

becomes this thing in the movie. And even when Leslie comes in and they're like, how was the flight and she's like long, like I was, just like, it's just so funny to me, like that Leslie Stall gets this moment. I'm I love that. Yeah I do too, And I love how relaxed she was and that she just came on in and did it, and um, I just just

love it. I like, really like when newscasters are in environments that are like created, but they're still themselves, Like have you guys seen I'm sure you have that Kate Berlance and John ear leaves me special when they have a Meredith ra like it's so I mean, everything about their special is excellent, and like it's just like really like I want to eat it like it eat it, like it's delectable. It's wonderful. They're they're just it's so great.

And the Meredith Verra thing, but she's completely done. Yeah, she gets it. So man, these people were really funny, Like Meredith you can get she's really funny. We met Hoda and Jenna and from the Today Show and funny. Yeah, she's like really really I mean not that the other one is. And I'm just saying, who does the one that I've happened to me, um like more than once or something. And she's just so nice and like beautiful, like wow, she's a star. She she definitely carries the

light and she looks at you. She looks at you when you're talking, and she has this way of making it seem like God, what inter thing And that's funny. Yeah, just enough when she's talking. Yeah, just like and I'm gonna remember this forever. Yeah. Some people are so good at the nuances in their jobs that you wouldn't notice

when you're just watching TV. But then like once you realize, like if you see, for example, like the inner workings of the Today Show, that's crazy, like it is like they're just cranking it out and it is it is so early in there, like a million things in there switched Like I was just on it a couple of weeks ago, and the segment before me was a topebag filled with wine, which is actually and then I also

was a topebag all the line. But but like you know, they're just cranking it out, and then the people that can make it, you know, they really can still be tuned in and focused and not be like fake about it, but you know they're just like wow wow. I actually also feel that way about David Attenborough and his introductions the Morning The Morning Shows ing is like they tackle such disparity in their subjects. Liked well and that was of course a segment on sentient tornadoes. There killer tornadoes

that can think. And now we have Matt Rogerson, thank you so much, coming up in the studio. We're gonna have a turtle race. These are two of Tallahassee's fastest turtles and we're gonna see which one wins. And then after that, of course Marsha get Harden. It's just like, what is going what is the through line here? But they do it all at the same quality. It is so like a county fair. It really like jelly how

many jelly beans are in the jar. Plus you know, there's a new pig and like it's just like what you guys have to Yeah, yeah, oh my god. I mean the day I was on it, there there was this bag of wine. But also there was the dog who had one. Oh what a celebrity posed with it. And I just couldn't believe how big its head was. I didn't she was the blood type of dog had one this year. Oh yeah, that was big news that the blood he was. He was. Yeah, it was so sweet and I just was like like like I took

picture with the dog. When we were there, we were leaving and Bryce s Alice Howard and DeLanda Wise from Jurassic World. We're coming, We're coming on and we're shuffling out from our segment. We just played like a silly game with them and we look at the two of us, look at the two of them, and they're the two They're so gorgeous, and literally they were like they were like, oh, we're so excited for your movie, and we were just like to them, yeah, we're so excited for your movie

to Jurassic World. Yeah yeah, what are we all doing here? Yeah? Yeah, just it takes it all. It just takes it all in and yeah, and it's there every morning the Today Show. I mean, case in point, it's Vie Wade was overturned on the Bahamas Beach. You know what I mean. It's just that's what it is. I I question about, well, when brought up Isabella, how did you guys capture that like like like like with with the line like Leslie Show,

Like how how was that audio captured? Because because because I know, I know, like I know a lot of them Marcel lines were like improvised and then scripted and then improvised and then sort of like there was just this like lovely process of like getting it down. But like in terms of like being were you in the room with you We're in the booth with Isabella. Yeah,

well we were never in a booth. We recorded all like natural sound as natural as possible or like so like when we were in Nana Connie's garden, we were at Isabella's bar. Actually, like we truly like when I say we like stand next to the truth, we really did put like as much true things as we could into something that is ultimately like or created or whatever.

But um so Isabella and I like you know, Dean and Nick would sometimes like come back after like something that had been improvised, or or just realizing there's like a kind of a hole in a conversation and like come with a few lines and be like this is this, and then Isabelle and I would maybe record that and then we would improvise off of that, and um and

just you know, we never rehearsed. We just kind of like discussed what was important about the scene, and um, there is just so there's also like so many Isabella improvs that it's not doesn't didn't feel to me like improv when you're like like I was in the improv group in college, you know, and you like walk in and you're like, I'm the lady who brought the sneaky

lunch or whatever. That's just set up or something, you know what you know that does anyone seemed like goddamn stand it, you know, and like that's the whole scene. Like this was more like they're just more sitting in these characters. Oh my gosh. Let me just digress for one second to say I love a gentle prank. I don't like ranks, like like like like insane ones. I think they're they're so weird, and I think pranksters are so weird. But I love a gentle one, Like I

moved my dad's sandwich. Sometimes, like my dad will make a fan and then he goes like get a drink and I move. It so funny, it's just right right right, yeah, it just sort of bewilderment, like a slight embarrassment that also makes you feel, um, like you are special. So one thing I left to do to my husband just in terms of my lunch or a sandwich or whatever, is that now that you know we can have the

windows open in Massachusetts summer or whatever. So we're driving and every time we're kind of at a stoplight but about to move so we won't have to sit there for a long time. But I just go, why did you eat my lunch? I wanted my lunch, and now you ate the whole thing, my sandwich, my chits, my drink, the vehicles, I have nothing, and I'm so hungry, and I just go on and it is, I mean, it is truly so funny because it's so clear that everybody

looks they always look. And one time I did it right before the drawbridge went up in the town where we live. So then we were there and it was like, oh, no, this actually but anyway, um, we would just Isabelle and I would just be like having a conversation, That's what that was. And then like suddenly just become more comfortable with this made up thing that Dean and I and Nick really only know about. Like, you know, she she would have read the whole treatment, but you know, you

would have. We would remind her like this is where we are in the story, and we caught lots of

great improv like that. And then I also think Dean and Nick got really good at writing to her accent and the way that she uh, you know, she speaks Italian as her you know, like her first language, and so she makes us some like goofs that are really fun funny and um like he she even says like she means to say, I had to teach myself how to read, and she says like I had to talk to myself how and it's like, so like my own grandmother has an accent that and she has lots of

mistakes like that, and it's like it's I love the explanation that she's from the garage. That's why she asked garage we haven't even asked anything questions. We have passed anything question Jenny Slate. So there's a central question of lost cultures, and that means it lives at the center of the podcast. And the question is what was the culture that made you say culture is for you? Okay?

The thing that I centralized was like the central thing for me when that question pops up, and there are lots of a little like ding dongs hanging off of it. But there was a I guess you would call it a sketch or a scene or whatever on Sesame Street where Maria and Luise like dance like ballroom dancing, and Bob is dressed as Atlas um, and it's just really

really fancy and um. You know, these also were people that I knew could be funny, and I just like, I really loved the ability to see them just as sort of like Ginger Rogers and fred As staring away

and I just loved it. And I was like, you know, how set me stepould like repeat stuff, um, and they like, God, I hope that one comes on, but but off of that, you know, are like it just was a lot of like um, like Carol Burnett and Annie how like I actually found her to be and Ursula in The Little Mermaid. Like I loved people that were still attractive to me and they had like majorly defined style, but they weren't necessarily the main character but maybe the villain or maybe

just on the side. Like I also loved Bernadette Peters and Annie, like how she just had all the necklaces and her tips and everything. Um. And I just always liked and Madeleine Khan um and like everything. But I really liked when I would be shown examples of people who were not just funny, um, but could also be a class act and unexpected. Like while I loved you know, like Uncle Buck starring John Candy, um, I really needed more than that. And I didn't identify with that at all.

But when I saw like Pee Wee and how he always had his like sweet little gray suit on and looked the same way and had like his little bit of he always sort of had like almost orangey lipstick, um, like you know, like he had like kind of like a he had a face, like yeah, he really had like makeup on. And I just liked those examples because I always, um, I really wanted to dress up. You know, I still really enjoy that. And when I do stand up, I like to dress like it's a date and stuff

like that. And yeah, and so that end of an album called Classic Crystal by the singer Crystal Gale. I don't I don't like country music really at all. I don't really, It's not like my thing. My sister loves it. I am not super country, but I love old school Crystal Gale. And she had like a long, long dark hair, long nails, and a picture of her on the back of the record. She was like, in what now is

probably like you know what do they call that? Like prairie or something like you know what I mean, like like a cottage dress or something um with this insane cleavage, and she was on a sitting on like a twin beds like a well defined character with yeah, yeah, I completely get that. It's because you know it, I don't know it is this idea, uh, there is like an aspiration to it, you know what I mean, because like you want to grow up, and but you also want

to be like funny. You don't want to you don't want to be everything. You want to be something you know what I mean? Yeah, for sure, like funny And also have costumes, um like be really like just like Mortitia Adams, you know, like just really really in there. And I always felt like the funniness is like what you're fortune, that's what fortune gives you. That's like what you're you're blessed with if that's like your instinction. Also I think comes with like pain and often shyness and

doubt of course. But then the costume is the prize that you get when you've been able to like, um, you know in a good way exploit your talent, that you get that costume and you get like included in like yeah, sorry, I meant you off. The costume is like the container or like the presentation literally and like and this like the first thing people see. Like that's why, like I don't get too hung up on people who are like obsessed with aesthetics or anything or about the

way they look. Like I get it's the it's it's esthetics define how something is received in a way. And for and all these examples, I feel like it is pretty central to like the comedy or even with Marie and Louise, it's like, um, I feel like they were like the only like couple on Sesame Street, for like a long time, right, like human couple or a couple, and then I feel like Bob and Linda also film. Yeah, yeah, Bob and Linda. That's like a very like seventies after

the nineties and onward. Like you know, there aren't really human romances or even like even like muppet romances on Sesame Street right for sure. I don't know if any muppet romances at all. There are like couples and companions

big Burden, Snuffy and obviously Burden Ernie. Um. But yeah, I mean that is something that like I honestly dream of doing, is to like have a show that is again like sort of talking referring back to what I said before, like anybody could watch it, Like you don't have to be a stoner to enjoy a show for kids, like it could be for everyone, but it is it is like maybe a show for children, but where I could be like a human with puppets, but have like

a person who has expectionally you know, and like you know, like have that bet happened to my character? I think it's nice for kids to see um love unfold yea, yeah, I I honestly think like and whatever, like I understand why the sort of influx of like Disney films that are coming out now skip that part, but I think it's actually kind of nice, like to have a love story.

And it feels like like like people are so hell bent on it being like no, this character is an individual and she's smart, and it's just like yes, completely, yeah that can be true, and she's all so different and unique and like it's like okay, we understand, but

also like it's not bad to fall in love. It's also a movie, you know what I mean, Like everyone's watching and everyone understands that idea of like you know, like an unrequited thing or a love that's unexpected or and I just feel like sometimes like when I when I watched these new like these new animated movies where which which are seemingly trying to be for everyone, especially

some of these Disney ones are so heavy. Um, I don't know if you feel like that, like you guys, but like, but sometimes I watched these newer ones and I'm like, wait, what's going on? Like I know that I know that there's a theme, but like where are the classic stories, Like where where are the love stories? Like I'm not seeing them, so I don't know if there's something very pure and nice about you saying a formative memory is watching these two just dance, you know,

and look at each other and be in love. Yeah, it's sex. Like we've had to kind of quit um on love or something like romantic love because like patriarchy and like just like being so crazy weird heateronormative stuff is like made it just be like we're not doing that. We're actually doing a thing about how adventure and like, you know, it's like okay, like just because Ariel like literally gave away her voice so she could have leg I know, like it doesn't mean me keep having to

do that. Like we could stop, you know, we could just like find a different way to do it. But that's another thing that really I'm like, how do I I love a little mermaid? And now I'm just like this is such a weird message to show my daughter. I don't know, but I love it. I think I'm just gonna have to just get into the conversation. But

I think that's what it's about totally. I think I think that's there's that's there's an asterisk to be put on the thing, and and then I don't know, like my nieces are obsessed with Frozen and they understand that to be a movie about sisters. And I'm like perfect, like they can like they're smart enough to like take away the right messages. I don't know, I feel like I have not internalized too much about those movies, especially

when it comes to love. I'm like, no, I know this is a fantasy, but you were also not a girl watching it, and so I I I understand, like, like we have a friend, our friend's Sudi like was not explicitly not allowed to watch those films because she had like an immigrant Iranian mother who saw it and was like, no, I know exactly what this is. All these little girls have like this gorgeous like you know, blonde hair whatever, like and I know what they're doing

with Jasmine. They're trying to trick us, Like no, like it's just it's not happening. Look at her waist, look at it, the size of her eyes, Like the way she has drawn is crazy. It's like, yes, that is

all true, but I don't know. I think that there is also something to the fact that like it's just about a conversation, you know what it's just about, Like you know, understanding these things are what they are and that everything I mean, then you can turn on a live action movie and you're not going to escape like the trappings of the times they were made in either.

I mean, the other night we were in the Fire Island Pinds and we tried to watch um the movie Scary Movie, like just the first parody of like like and it was so crazy, Jenny, how like every single joke is either so racist, homophobic, misogeny, violence against women. There is no almost no comedy that would that would be placed today, and we're watching like, oh my god.

And then the other day, UM, I do this other podcast called Max Movie Club, and um I watched She's All That and I was like, even this movie, it's just like it's so crazy, how like just like, but He's gay is like a full It's like it's like a bring the house down barn burner punchline to the point where it's just like you just can't show anything if if you're I actually think it's an opportunity, you know what I mean, to be like, this was made then in a time when you could say something like that,

but we've we've evolved, Like I think it's like a worthwhile tool. Yeah, I think so too. And I also

think you can't just be like, well, we're not. I mean, there are some things that you're like that is really gross, like or that's way too violent or whatever for a little kid, and some stuff you're like, I don't want that, But like The Little Mermaid, which has a lot of delight in it and great songs and it looks beautiful and under the Sea is so fun to be just like under the Ocean, it's so weird to you know, like be like I don't even think that I'm capable

of discussing with my daughter when she's old enough to watch this, like why some of this is awesome and like asking her, like how do you feel about that deal that she makes? Yeah? You know, she's like, I would make the deal to tomorrow. God. I remember as a little kid being like what I make the deal? Like, you know, like I wanted to fall in love so badly and to have like boobs and stuff, and like,

I don't know. I think like like culture will always like have an impact, but it's like the people that especially if like you're a kid and you can have even one adult that's like cool to you and you trust and you feel attached to that. They're like, this is actually like more complex and that let's discussed, and I think you can you know, you cannot get into where you need to be. You need someone to tell you not to put a fork in your hair, because

that was what I was doing. Yeah. I was like at the table, like, oh my God, with the ship in my hair. And my mom was like, oh Jesus, like I spent my college years honking on a snarp flat. If you know what I mean, You're gonna get food poisoning quote unquote. Let's move on. Should we move on to I Don't Think so, honey? Yeah? Okay, So this is when we move on to the incredible segment Jenny

on our podcast called I Don't Think So honey. It is at the second segment that we do, but we just sort of rant and rave against something in pop culture or culture at large, whatever is really grinding your gears as they say, when did they start saying that? And when did they stop about grinding your gears? Bow Like, where did that come from? An ice? I used it as an expression a lot when I describe it to think, I think it originates from the labor movement really grind

grinds the labor movement. That's a good fault. Um. Actually, So I'm home right now, and I actually asked my mother what her I don't think, so, honey, would be And you know what she says that. She said, well, I've been thinking about this. It's people feeding damn seagulls. So she's still and it's the thing with her Jenny's seagulls at the beach, what she calls damn birds. They love my mom. They take her food. They She's has a war with the seguels every time she goes down there.

So I just wanted to let all the readers know this is still a problem in Katrina Rogers's life. She sleat war with this eagues when she goes down to field five. But I have a different one. I'll tell this is this is Matt Rodgers. I don't think so, honey. His time starts now. I don't think so honey. Gay man, I don't want to see any of you anymore this month. I don't want to smell you, I don't want to talk to you. I'm over it. I don't think so honey.

The things you say, the things you do. Speaking of being down at the beach, you all litter. I just had the blind and the way that you all throw things everywhere. It's so disgusting. I'm not sucking any of you ever. Again. I'm really gonna work hard on a heterosexuality. I think it could be a good move for me, not just in my life, but in my career. I think it would diverse me. Um. Shout out to all casting directors. I am straight. Now consider for your considerations.

They say, um, I don't think so, honey, gay man. Um. When I have sex with you, I become I don't think so honey, gay men. Um. It seems like we're all sort of dropping like dominoes. These I don't know what to say. I don't think so any gay men. The pines were loud and crowded, and I have trauma now from I don't want to talk about the Fire Island Pines again a day in my life. I've talked about it because of this movie, because of this vacation. I'm done with gay men and the pines. I don't

think honey. And that's one minute. Oh my god, I didn't know it was like she friends with them. I'm sorry and that was that was that wasn't me killing you too? Like you? Why aren't you The closest friend is a gay man? It's so true. I mean I didn't know. I was like, oh, was it supposed to be like clean audio? And so I was like leaning back and likenching because I was like, your closest friend the most she really is. Well, he's gay and should stay far away from me. I'm done with them, at

least for the month of July. I'm seriously hang on to hang up with only my sweet girlfriends. That's a oh my god. Just one month, just one month, and then I'll come back. You want to make it through July? Know me? Well, listen bow, are you ready? I'm ready. Oh. By the way, gay Leeman has one of the I think made the first ever joke about the algorithm knowing you're gay. And now everyone now everyone's making that joke. Oh my algorithm knows I'm gay. Gabe Leeman, you're passionate

to check. Gabelen wrote, Yeah, he had that joke forever ago, and it would be like about how one of the one of the lines I remember from it is like that he's like pulling up his uh. I mean now it honestly just is like oh yeah, of course. But like at that time, it was like he's like, I'm pulling out my Facebook page and on the side, yeahs for sale. I go. I went on my Instagram now in my my discovered page, and I don't know what the algorithm thinks about, but it's only pictures of Andrew Garfield,

only pictures of him. By the way, speaking of Instagram, I just picked up my phone to time you boone yang and open to the announcement of Leah Michelle and they are going to be amazing. And Leah, that's a great, great gas Lea Michelle as Fanny Bryce and Telva Felt as Mrs Press beginning in September. God, that's a that's a no brainer. It's almost one of those things that happens. You're like, why didn't it already happen? You know, like that,

like why didn't they are already do that? You know, many are asking that were we saying for like a while, weren't people saying? Lea Michelle is like that is like are you know could be early? Yeah, that's what they were saying. And then um, I think that she's I think she stepped in it a couple of times. But now she's going to get an opportunity to, you know, be Fanny Bryce. But she's been auditioning for for I look forward to seeing it, um yeah, bo Yang, not

as my just I look forward to seeing you. I don't think so well then, I don't think so hony. Time starts now, I don't think so hony. Hotel rooms not already having toothpaste. If I don't always need an iron, I don't always need a bathroom, I sure as hell don't need a bible in the drawer on the nightstand. What I do need is toothpaste, and not the kind of toothpaste for when you call down to the front desk they give you that little tube of chalk that's

designed for the military. Okay, I need a pulgate, a crest. I'll take one of those or disgustingly flavored toothpaste that lot do you and say they're peppermint spearmint, when no, they just taste like nothing. I want premium toothpaste. If I'm paying for something, some something a little bit, I'm making a little bit of a spec. Hotel rooms need to do this, and this is a sequel to I don't think sony about hotel rooms needing bigger trash cans.

They also need ca in the room. Okay, I need toothpaste in the room, and then I will and then I'll never leave. I'll never leave. I'll pay you all the money in the world. And that's one minute you're literally dead on. And I also want to add add to this hotel rooms, I don't need the TV on when I walk in that crazy when it's like hello, miss miss late, I'm like, no, I don't know. I

don't think it's thinking, so I don't think so. And also, how about this, If you're gonna have the TV on, have the remote in a place where I can find it so I can turn it off. I have to look all over the damn room for the damn god remote, Like, yeah, you know what, And I mean I haven't. I don't think so, honey about something that's pretty specific in my life. But just to piggyback on Bowen's I think it's weird now how they will not stalk the mini fridge. I'm like, like,

just why is this empty? Like it's so just it's like, actually, there's kind of nothing worse than an like the empty mini fridge. It's like sort of like smelling a birth or something like. It's like it's a shocking like when when you're like, okay, it doesn't look right. Yeah, like I'll this is bad. It's like it feels like it feels like a bad vibe, like it's just not good. And it's like just put literally put like a Coca Cola in here and charge me nine dollars and then

I'll be like, absolutely not. I'm not paying nine dollars, but I want the right to give myself like a weird treat that I could get for um, you know, one fifty at the store in the lobby. I just don't like it when they do that. It burst the bubble. Yeah, and I feel like, oh, I guess it is still the pandemic, and you know what it is like it is, but I never go back when I when I when I go to a hotel, when a hotel room and nothing is stocked, and I'm like, well, I'm never coming

back coming back. That's why that's why I maintain my stays at the Ace Hotel and when I'm feeling fancy the Bowery Hotel. Oh yeah, I love that and that they're they're like, I like when a hotel is like, well, we actually left a chocolate bar out for you, because we're so fancy that we like just let our chocolate be taken. You know, it's like, Okay, now I'm really on vacations. Okay, Jenny has a hard in a couple of minutes. So let's that's true. That's true. Let's get

to the I don't think so honey. Okay, okay, this is Jenny, this is Jenny Slates. I don't think so honey. Her time starts now. I don't think so honey. Babies are flirting with you. No, they're not. I really really don't like that when my daughter like just like smiles at a person and they're like, oh, she's a little

flirt it's not. Actually, don't sexualize my baby. Like and when they do it and they're like, oh, she's flirty, she's flirty, I want to be like, yeah, she's super fucking horny right now, Like she wants to find someone. That's why she's doing that. That's why she's smiling. Thanks for like stepping on her first instinct to just connect and be kind of impertately sexualizing her. That just absolutely kills me. Like Auntie's little flirt like shirt with that

on it. It's like, no, you don't, don't do that. My baby is not quoting with you. She's just nice. You're lucky that she even smiled to you. And now I have to take her away because you're so gross. And adding on to that when I'm wearing her on my body, the old white men that are like the roll, it's like not for me. And you've been carried around by culture your entire life. That's really all I have

to say. One minute studying and you said that you were you said that you wouldn't get the pattern or whatever. This is also this as an addendum to pay you back off of your I don't think so, honey, don't ever call a baby. Oh she's going to be a heartbreaker when she grows up. Stop it's disgusting. Sometimes I get the like, oh, tell my wife, I'm fallen in love with another woman. It's like a baby, what are you? Why do you need to do that? Why can't you just like the baby as a baby, like you know,

but you that actually how about this? Hey, I like the way your baby is smiling? Yeah, how about cute baby with its new smile because it's a year and a half old. Cute new baby baby, it's new, it's new in life. Hey, nice new baby. Yeah, hey there's your baby. Okay, across the room say, I appreciate the fact you have a baby. That's all period, that's it. And no, I don't want to wear you on my body, you know what I mean? That is the implications there

are psychatic. And then then my husband was telling me that when he wears, when he would wear our daughter around, that that actually that men would say that to him as well, like that looks comfortable, and that he was like, you think it would be comfortable, like you stra to be on me? I mean okay, I mean okay, okay, I want to wear shirt now that says Auntie's little flirt though, Oh I just can't. Like I even have sort of a thing when babies were like skulls and

Camo'm like what why why Camo? Oh you're like a tough baby baby. Yeah, I mean, you know, like I just in the Marcelle movie there's just a rant that I just did in character as Marcel. It's my own personal feelings about like people who like are bragging about how they like love to sign their emails. Yeah, yeah, none of that's bad. I I heard recently that somebody got a really nice note from someone that they said peace, and then I felt more war. I'm the big war person,

you know. I signed all my personal letters war. What the begin, Marcelf, Because everybody leaders, you gotta see it. You're you're actually hired back as publicists again.
