I go there at least once a year, actually because I tore in December, which, by the way, nobody does Christmas like Chicago, and I'm sorry New York. Yeah, but there's like a there's like a corporate feel in the way that New York does Christmas buildings. Yeah, I say this as the expert, and then you go to Chicago and it's just much more lived in.

It's much more like real Christmas. You can tell everything. All the lights are kind of thrown up there. We're going to the Wiener Circle and there's a little too much of them, you know. I mean, there was no corporate voice to rain it in.

Can I say the craziest New Year's I've ever had?

It's shy, thank you. They say shyrish, which my dad really doesn't like.

But the shy. My brother was a set deck on the shy.

Oh my, it's called the shy, the shy, not the so do people ever call it the shy?

You're y'all are lord of the rings.

That is, that is we should start saying, you should.

Start saying that.

Then, of course there was.

The bad thing.

People would say hi Iraq when because.

They were of course, of course, well, people have to make everything bad a little bit. Of course, it's actually coaching number nine.

People have to make everything bad a little bit, not Chicago, including the person that told me to get a new hairstyle today.

But let's talk about that. I don't. I just this is my hair.

It's thin. What do you want from me?

Well, first I just take issue with you need Okay, so I brought up Maggie's amazing. I just want to really shine a line on this because it really kind of helped shift to the paradigm a little bit for me. It was you were you and John Early were talking about bean soup theory. So do you want to explain what bean soup theory is?

Yes?

So now I understand that it's an actual video girl posted on TikTok for a recipe for bean soup. Of course, Okay, we all love now. I'm not a bean girl.

Do you guys like being I love beans? I love any suit.

My dad is, oh, really you need to hang out with my dad?

Your anti bean.

And it's the battle between me and my dad every day.

I see the battle.

What's because you need to be eating beans, white bean lentil. No, you can't talk about this. You can't talk about this.

I can't talk about beans with the bean soup theory.

Y's talk about the bean supit theory. Well, so a.

Woman it was like, here's my rescue for bean soup. First comment, I don't like being that's it was me.

Yeah and so.

But the good thing I will say is I was talking about the bean soup theory and this video and someone compted, you need a new hairstyle. And then people right away were like, this is what she's talking exact and I.

Said, thank you, which is the thing of Like, so, then this isn't for you.

It's not for you. There's the entirety of human thought out there on the Internet. You can just keep swiping.

Or send it to the group chat, right, so this I hate beans and they're probably gonna ignore it anyway because it's so stupid.

Well, you send it to the group chat so they can tell you what to think. Yeah, you know.

What I mean. It's like, hey, I wasn't sure of an opinion. What do you guys think?

And then they the group chat will always have a strong opinion that will go dr under ten the.

Group chat will always have a strong opinion.

I'm already loving that we have so many rules of culture, and I'm gonna I listened to this. This means a lot to me because I listened to at my desk at my job in.

Chiago, in Chicago, in Chicago, and shoot, I'm Chicago the shy, the shy.

Did you have to eliminate an accent?

Did I have to? It comes out sometimes about the South.

I guess, Okay, I shouldn't say did you have to eliminate an accent? Because I don't hear it all, like when you have a strong one. But it depends on Like if I'm with my family a lot, my mom.

Is like, we're one of the jewels. It's huge.

I'm like, what, uh huh? Can I can I even point out? I'm sorry, I don't. I don't mean to make you self conscious, even my mom my mom? Yeah, can I say?

I love Midwestern? I love it.

I almost picked different my culture, but then I freaked out. Washed the culture of the Midwest.

We don't talk about cheese balls or whatever, or cheese balls, the big thing of cheeseballs. I'm reducing. I'm bastardizing Midwest culture. Here's we're so sweet, we'd love it. First of all, I went to I now occasionally will go to Grand Rapids, Michigan love because that's where Henry and Ethan live, remember

Of course, my mind is like rain.

I think like there's little life remember that.

What's Yeah, carry started before so long as a trend that I think people just show like that eating dinner.

See, and it wasn't Midwest.

No, it was all over TikTok.

Where were you? I don't really do TikTok. I no longer have one.

Because they'll tell you to change your hair, because I'll tell you to change your hair.

But you, I think I feel like you have a you have a claim and like a dominance over it.

I yeah, because at some point it's just like I'm older, I'm I'm we're all the same age.

I think, right, yeah, we're all metal forces.

Years and I'm just like it's I'm feel like you're so millennial about it. It's like, yeah, I am a millennia, right, I'm not gonna be millennial.

The use of mali is like a bad one, Like come on, because it really happened like that. Yeah, sure, it's I'm hoping now it's at the stage where it's like people are kind of tired of it. But right, well, I I can't wait. No, it's it happens like that because as soon as you could put the word elder in front of it and had a sustinct.

On it, right, elder millennial.

So so like eventually you'll say like elder Z or elder gen z or some such you know what I mean.

You didn't have elder gen X. No you didn't. Can I say?

This is a less last singer's fault? What are your special? Is called elder millennial? And one of her many specials is called that, And I had never heard that before, and I was like, elder millennial.

I opened for her once, I'll give her a call.

We give her a call.

Marguerite is the title of your special? Full name, that's my full name. It's my grandma's name French Irish for Irish. Yeah, but it's definitely a French name.

Although what's the story there?

That's a what did my grandma woes? She have to I guess her? What were her parents of too? Of course that we have one of those little things in my house that like says me and my two brothers names, and then like where it's from and the flower associated and like what it means, but mine says Spanish, says Marguerite to Spanish. Okay, oh interesting, it's royal and pearl and royal pearl and in friendship means daisy.

In friendship means royal daisy, royal.

Pearl in French, you know, just means daisy. Yeah, that it describes. And then it's like my brother Bart, my brother Liam.

Me talk about the brothers because they co directed, they co.

Directed my special because I was really like, I want someone because it's it's just about me. So I was like, I want someone who knows me and someone who's not afraid to be real with me.

And they're not at all, but they should be a little bit more.

I do have to say this about my brother Liam, is that he's the middle one, the taller, one six seven six seven, you know, sorry, of course he when you first got us now bon Yang. He said he was telling everyone in tell you from Aurora, Colorado, Colorado. My brother, we are Aurora, Illinois, which is a suburb of Chicago.

That's right.

He's going to everyone who's going the new sn L guy from Chicago. He's telling everyone he meets another Chicago comedian.

We're so proud.

Ye.

Some days someone goes, he's from Colorado.

My brother goes what I've been telling everyone for years at bon Yang is Chicago guy. I was accepting it because I was like, it's weird. He never did Chicago comedy, but maybe he just went right to he.

Is kind of a Chicon.

You are a Chican. I never have heard that, but I really liked that.

I made it up today on the way over here because I was thinking, oh wow, she's a Chicago icon.

Chicone called me a Chicago fried comedian once and I ran with.

That Chicago Fried pride comedian.

Yes, what does it mean?

We don't know. We don't know, totally Chicago fried comedian.

You're in New York.

I think we're New York grilled. New York. Oh interesting grilled?

You are New York grilled.

I'm poached. I'm bland as. Oh, that's not true.

It's people love poached people post.

I get it. Poached is cute. Sometimes I never get it.

You hate it, you're trying to stick up for it.

Poached is good when you're like making soup, because you're you're kind of poaching. We'll just like a poach breast a chicken moment.

And what's the difference between that and basting.

Basting is like you're taking the juices and just like re sort of applying it to the protein or the roast.

No, no, my god. Interesting?

Interesting, I would I've loved Top Chefs so much and I love watching these people and I'm just like, I could never do anything they're doing.

And I'm going, that's disgusting. You're disgusting.

Can I ask you a question? Please?

Everyone becomes an expert. Do And with that in mind, do you miss Padma? And what do you think about the culinary cup?

Wait? What's the culinary show?

It's a say actually her new show, which like is Top Chef but not.

I didn't and I was watching.

It and the trailer for it, and I was like, I mean, of course, I'm like all in because and it's this and I also missed on Top Chef. All love and respect to Kristen Kish who was amazing. It's just just was a little on Top Chef. Yeah, of course.

She definitely was like what are you doing?

Right?

Her delivery style was like did you always fuck up? Is this how you cook it? Poachdag?

Is this a different culture thing?

Right?

Right? Right?

But but what do you think of this? Like that there's a new Top Chef that is Top Chef but's not Top.

So then was there drama?

She want to come back and they were like, oh honey, I don't think so.

You know, I don't think yoda coda. Oh honey, I don't think so. I don't I feel like you never know. Maybe she just like saw an offer and was like she was making more money. Is it's a her show? Probably at the end of the day, at the end of the day, at the end of the day, at the end of the day. She came on this podcast a few years go and we found out that she is you know, she wrote a glossary of spices.

Hello, what did you say?

She wrote an encyclopedia of spices because she has like one of the most developed palettes in the world, but which was this we knew?

So what does that mean? Like you open a book and oh yeah, and keep going what do you what happens?

You open a book and there's you know, there's a whole page that's like paprika and what it is and don't you go on, yes, I actually need that. I think I think everyone needs it. But actually this is this is no this. I'm gonna say this for I don't think so, honey, or I can we can start now? Spices take like the footprint of spices in the home is too big, Like I now we gotta buy a fucking book now, sorry, Padma, But it's like the rack

Grand and Emma, how often are you touching clove? How often are you touching one time of year?

Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving also alter throughout the holiday season.

If you make a say it with me, hot toddy, oh my, sort a huge part of hot Toddy.

It's actually real culture.

Number eleven close a huge part of hot that's typically not even a hot toddy if you don't have them.

Do you like when the guest goes in with the yes, because sometimes I'm like, I don't want to step.

Out on anyone's toes.

No, no, no, I'm saying it at home.

I'm listening to him saying it with you. Guys.

Our toes are flat step because these things have been flattened. So, oh my god, I've got the biggest feet in America.

Honey, let me see for a girl, I'm not seeing it. Shout out to Paris Hilton. She's the only real one who started a footline. Foot line I was called then just sh up large feet size eleven feet, Paris Hilton does. Maybe she got him shrunk, I don't know, but yeah, at the time, she was like, I'm starting to choose for the girls.

That's even though this.

Okay, even though crazy, even though the guys are crazy, even though those the stars are blind, it really is a bop.

And unfortunately you can't hear it without going.

Like this, Yeah, I don't understand are the stars blind?

In fact, you know it doesn't matter.

You got to think about that one. How to think about it. You get it a little high and you gotta eat the popcorner and think about that.

Of course, we have a question for you.

Yes, do you think that the culture of taking out the spices from their original thing, putting it in a jar and labeling it and then putting it is good or bad?

That is, that's giving like the Internet that I'm not on. Yeah, I shudder out.

When I see it, which is like organization, like closet organization culture. Yes, which scares me a little bit. It's not realistic. This is just my thing with spices and spice racks. If we if our life were the sims, it would take up an entire time in our home, you know what I mean, Like it takes up an entire sim square, sim square, And that's what I am. Like that, but I'm not using this. Yeah, you know what I mean? What do you think is hard left?

Oh my god, because they talk about like food, they talk about they're always like you guys eat disgusting cast role food. It's like it's it's relaxed pistachio salad. If you had that tell it is kind of messed up. There's a couple of names for it. Ambrosia salad that's very like you here. It's like marshmallows. It's like a you can get it at the grocery store. It's gooped up. It has apples in it. It's so good. There's also a version that has snickers in it. People are serving. I'm dead serious.

Did they call it a salad? Salad is so much I think anyone realizes what defines a salad a colum?

Is there fruit or vegetable in it?

Is that what it is?

Because I was like fruit salad obviously, because I was like, is it just vegetable? But there's also fruit?

Right?

Yeah, let us know what you guys think of salad? Is I would love to know. I don't know about that kind of stuff. No, but I think there's like different versions. But you can get at the grocery and it's just like a sweet pineapples and it.

I think, Okay, so so.

Far we have so maybe you don't know about this. That's a good one. Yes, yes, it's really no, this is huge. So so far we have marshmallows, apples, pineapple.

I there's pistachio. Sometimes I think a snickers A salad is a separate one. There's definitely one that's like yeah, that like, but it's like I think the marshmallows maybe melted a little bit.

I would have made it, but I do. I'll get it at the grocery store. I don't. I'm not scared to get any of the grocery. Yeah. I want you guys to try it when you go.

I want to, well, what isle in the grocery store, what it is?

Go to the deli and say, that's that green thing in a little pound thing or whatever.

Of course, chicken salad, oh, I said, see that.

I greeted you with the tuna salad in the air waving.

I don't eat tuna. And I know my other thing, my dad's like, grow up. Me and my dad are fighting constantly about what I'm eating. And I'm not like a picky, picky eater. Just beans and tunas.

Is it the smell?

Myers but then, yeah then they tried to pull, like, oh he's the definition and he's evil incarnate so can't be.

Killed they tried to start to do like a mystical thing with him where.

They were like they started did a whole Like Harry Potter, voldemort Like Luke Skywalker Darth vader thing where it was like one cannot exist on the planet while the other Was Laurie Stroden Michael. Myers AND i won't spoil. That you have to Watch Kyle richards.

Lives do you think there's someone in the world that is that is true for you, guys like if they, die you, live.

So kind.

OF i mean sometimes it feels like like when you're when we're out in casual, company and it's like you, SAY i would never say, it but then like sometimes you, say everyone's.

Like you gotta say.

It absolutely produce my SPECIAL i love. Absolutely you know. That on the every CALL i was absolutely, absolutely AND i was, like oh my, god, Stop, no they don't.

Care they don't. Care they. Care they picked the word.

Absolutely it's it's and it's one of the greatest ways to say, yes it's actually real coach over. Twelve absolutely one of the greatest ways to say, Yes, ABSOLUTELY i did. IT i want to talk about this before we. Ask we haven't have to do the. Question we're having such a but before we, ASK i FEEL i feel. GOOD i was like obviously. Nervous you were nervous the, podcast of, course no. REASON i texted you in A mannick stay and THEN i was, LIKE i have to do this.

Now.

NO i loved it AND i thought it was the best idea ever that you. COME i.

THINK i was, like CAN i be the charity? Case and you were, like shut up for?

Where and where is the charity? Case do? You but do you know who's coming in right after you? Today? Yeah Who Nicole.

Kidman i'm gonna follow the ground she's being in this, chair she's gonna Be i'm gonna leave her a. Note i'm gonna leave her Note. Australian.

Australian we'll ask her. That we'll ask her. That so are you.

Maybe wonder trying.

To figure it?

Out the structure of the, Show margaret read On march, seventeenth Is, Live, Laugh, Love, Yes.

So it's in three. Sections basically for my own.

BRAIN i was, LIKE i have a Section, live WHERE i write stand up or stories that have to do with my live basically Where i've, lived HOW i Live, laugh which would easily be like my, comedy but it was more, like that's more like about my body straight, up because you're like gotta laugh.

And my favorite of the three by the, way laugh come.

On and then love is About, YEAH i just like the love or lack of thereof gotta watch to find. Out AND i have a video for each one to start that MY i did with my either my brothers or my Friend. Parker you guys Have Parker. Callahan the name sounds. Familiar you would love his.

Videos he's one of the funniest gay.

Guys so it's like maybe, jackpot but he. Is he made like a lot of my videos and he's so, good so. Funny and then, yeah just.

Just like stand up and. STORYTELLING i don't know.

PERFECT i feel it sucks to LIKE i want to just be like a stand up but then people are, like what kind of?

Storytelling you're, like just don't tell me What i'm.

Doing, like, yeah a woman or even like anyone who's on a straight guy does like stand up and people like have to be, like it's a little.

Different so it's.

That is kind of how it gets filed. Away it's automatically alt if it's not crowd work or.

Something oh my, god are you Stating are you STATING i? AM i am?

Doing Like i'm trying to do a lot more CrowdWork on. Tour i'm mentor With Connor. Wood, Yes and it's just so like and SOMETIMES i just literally will SAY i don't. Care actually it's what makes it. Funny but it's just LIKE i really they're, like oh you to. SCHOOL i don't, care but they love that love. That that's. Good that's really. Good it's just to be like.

Question it doesn't mean did you ever do stand? Up he, did like barely in the same way WHERE i was, like which is? Why which is like BECAUSE i because you were saying like that coming in through like sketch an, improv which is similar to, us like it felt like it was the third thing that like felt like stolen valor if you tried it out come up through like

Months, yeah well then you did a lot more than my a lot Of uber Drivers i've had who taught. Me, yeah, WELL i obviously have stopped Saying i'm a, comedian but they'll like they picked me up from a place, club like is it a comedy. Club i've been thinking about trying. IT i, WISH i WISH i could Go you're never.

Gonna, yeah totally love that, Too.

Like give it a. Try, yes that's a surefire way to get into it.

With an uber, driver which is not a good, idea, Right And i'm thinking about trying. Company he never will what what are you? Talking?

Minutes Oh?

God In, chicago the comedy, Town i'm sure, Like i'm sure like the people.

There it's peopled by folks who want to like do.

IT i just never liked to stand up as much AS i liked doing the other, Things like when in a world where there's only so much time to do, SOMETHING i liked sketch comedy. MORE i liked doing characters, more AND i liked doing the musical comedy.

More, yeah so it kind of.

It it not this BECAUSE i obviously have a lot of respect for everyone that does stand, up but it always felt LIKE i wasn't doing.

Enough yeah.

RIGHT i had to come to the, realization LIKE i can do it in my own, way. Truly Watching Meg stalter for the first, TIME i was, like, oh you can.

Do what you.

Want, yeah you.

Can AND i think especially with, women like we can do girleypop stand up not for everybody's not for the boys all the, time but even calling that feels. Weird but it's LIKE i can do my own. Style AND i started balling my eyes, out like you can do whatever you want on stage and people can deal with the labels of.

Course.

YEAH i mean if you're enjoying it and people are enjoying, it then it's.

For if you're, LAUGHING i think we did.

It, yeah pretty much. THING i think we did. It that's a real coature number. Twelve if you're, LAUGHING i think we did.

It we have to ask you the, question this is the central question Of Lost culture is thus it really, is what was the?

In, Yes i'm STILL i don't know about this. Couch, okay, okay what do you think about?

IT i do feel Like i'm interviewing you. Guys what do you want to?

Ask i'm here With matt And.

Bowen they have a podcast, together and they're gay guys and their, friends And i'm here to get down to the nitty.

Gritty you, guys ever?

KISS i don't. Know it's all got In New? Year's did you really look at peck On New? Year's?

Yeah that makes, sense?

Right have you ever kissed? Us?

Yes?

No do you kiss your closest?

Friend i'm trying to think IF i, well, no, yeah my MY i have girlfriends from growing up who, like there's two of us that are queer and the rest of them, like we get drunk and they're, like let's, kiss and it's like you, guys they all have, husbands, right so like we give him a kiss and they're like it's like, yes.

But did you ever have a friend in middle or elementary, school like in those young years where like things got a little Bit, NO i WISH i wish.

TO i like everyone talks about. THAT i was just too LIKE i don't want to say LIKE i. Was i'm not like saying she was a, loser but LIKE i you, know you thought of myself as.

One you know What i'm. Saying we're like little in your chunky and you're.

Like oh well, yeah, yeah, yeah but you're saying that you thought of yourself as a loser and so therefore you. WERE i was, LIKE i don't get to kiss. Anybody i'm right there.

With it also like, yeah it's like so, sad LIKE i WISH i could go back and be like my but EVEN i say, that but then even Now i'm, like oh AM i gonna, kiss like get away.

Exactly.

Yeah there was the only REASON i say it is because a lot of people are, like oh, YEAH i, mean of, course my one friend in middle school where you, know you like jocked each other off or whatever the, funk AND i was.

Just like people talk about this like it's a. Thing it was not a thing for.

ME i had one very very close friend in middle school where if it was gonna, happen it was definitely gonna be with, him because we would do sleepovers and we would like talk about each. Other there's bodies and, stuff and this is the time when like everyone was.

Horny like no matter.

What AND i was like thinking, back like we were like twelve or, thirteen and it was just like it was like maybe better that it didn't, happen because it could have gotten. Weird BUT i do look back AND i, think like everyone or not, everyone but a lot of PEOPLE i have talked to that are gay guys have had that experience in their past with guys that ended

Bad you were trying it.

Out, yeah but there is That it makes me a little bummed, out like like like people get so like rigid and THEN i. WONDER i do wonder if looking, back like the the knowledge that we were really close made.

Us not be friends. Anymore, yeah you know WHAT i, mean.

Because we weren't friends in high school AND i would like see him around And i'd be, like remember we were best. Friends we talk to each other's about, It we talked about other's bodies and like got bonus for each.

Other, oh and now we're not ye at least LIKE i never had.

To deal with that kind of.

Thing but we don't suck, Anymore Charlie booths man like we used.
