My parents sent me photos of a hailstorm in Denver moments after I flew out, And God thank god, I flew out. What's important that you got out of there. I got out of there alive, and I am so happy. And you got here just in time for our guests. Yes, just in time for our guests.

I just saw her at a show and she was rocking a Pride dress. She was telling me about this, and I knew that she was returning it and this I was like that ship she did not buy with the intention of keeping. That is for the show. I can't wait to get into this.

But if you like good comedy, come, come, come, come, and you can also check out her awesome, awesome awesome series on CNBC called Saved. She's fantastic responded in that and the web series single Blonde Failure, which our friend Dave said, she's a star. She's a star. You know what. I I will very rarely ever watch someone's web series, someone especially someone's vanity web series. And I'm not saying vanity like pejoratively we can say that. But I've lasted through these episodes and I loved every single one of them so much. Guys, welcome car of Flies open. I would just like to say, I am shocked how quickly you guys started this. Pott, what do you mean? You guys were casually talking. Then Bo was like three too, wanting do you leave it all of the door? You come in you act professional, because girl, there were some ju ju in the room. I don't know what your problem is. Do you have just just getting off a plane energy? Yes, there's that also, but then like just low key you guys. Matt came late. I came a little bit late, and I think we were going to talk about I was. I was doing a really good job of holding it together. Listen, I have a great energy. I walked here. I have through Cobble Hill parts of Brooklyn I've never seen before. It's so nice and I'm happy to be here. And I had good energy. This is great energy. But no, we're It's like Carle is saying, we leave that at the door. We have it's only good energy from now on the door. Honey, you clocked in, Um, but I did. I just Scott. He came here in an Uber And let me tell you these ubers, No, not an Uber, take it back. I came here in a lift. Okay, okay, I support lift and great atmosphere in those cars. Sure, great atmosphere, and you're talking to a real lifter right here. But you can also say, no, it was Uber, and I'm off of it now. And the last I'm off of it. I got help and I'm done with it. Can I tell you about a horrid experience I had with Villa? Do you know what Villa is? I it's like an offshoot one of these. It's like yeah, and it's like much cheaper, but it's like a minivan service and it's only shares. But um, it's much cheaper. But I got I waited twenty minutes for one, because that's like normally how long you wait just for the cheaper price around around Flat Iron one night last week. And then I got into the car and the guy was like and I was a little hammered at this point, and the guy was like, well, you're going to Brooklyn. No no, no no, no no no, I'm not going to Brooklyn. That my shift sending right now, so get out. I'm like, I'm not new Brooklyn. I go, well, I just waited for you for fifteen minutes and you should have figured this out before. And he goes, he goes, well, hey man, why do you have to go to Brooklyn because I and then I said, because that's where I fucking live. I was I never get like rude with these with with like with like the help, I guess, but I'm just like I was just so angry and drunk, and I was like, because that's where I fucking lived, dude. And he was like, we'll get out of my car then, and I was like, well, figure out a better fucking way to work, and then I just slammed his door. Figure out a better way to work rule number twenty two of culture. Figure out to work, you know, I yelled at an uber driver too, only once it was my it was my it was my one night I stripped. Yeah, I want to get into this. Okay. So, and I was leaving the strip club at like to thirty because I ran out of the trip. Yeah, I didn't know about this, I'll tell you. So I uber ubered home and my uber driver this was before No Bad No Wall, and so I was taking Uber and my uber driver was fun link asleep and so like every every like maybe every other minute was swerving. Oh my god, I had I had to scream at him to keep him awake. I'm on the highway because I was stripping in queen I guess that's the truth. That's that's terrified. It is terrifying. But guess what all for this story? For the story, Okay, so let's backtrack. I'm actually disappointed to hear that you're not stripping anybody. I know. It was. It was a journey that I went on and it ended in Queen's Was this like, was this for like a human interest piece? Like was this for the c NBC thing? No, don't bring c and no, this was I've always been interested in the world of stripping and like any kind of sexual anything exchange for money. Yes, and so I used to a while ago. I used to get paid to date. Okay, No, I wasn't actulean escort because I do believe, and maybe I'm wrong, but I do believe escorts, like there's somebody's date. But then I think sex is implied. This is not what happened. I was literally going on with dates with days with men either because they worked a lot and they maybe weren't attractive and even if they were online dating, maybe nobody would notice them, or they were socially awkward or anything like that. So I would go on dates with them and it would end there. I would never I never even kissed them. It was never implied that that sex was going to happen. Never, and I never felt like anyone was trying to. Um, yeah, it really that company some shifts, It's changed a lot, it's changed. Okay. So with that being the background, you wanted to parlay that into stripping. Well, so then I went on an interview to be a foot fetish model. That this was actually it was actually before I started getting paid today getting out one of my foot fetish interview. Um, it was like, um, seven years ago, and I got paid to date maybe like four years ago. But I've always been interested in stripping for so many reasons, and I've tried to write about this, but there isn't. I refused to have just one reason I wanted to strip, and the like my editors were like, no, we need to focus on this article, like is it about body image? Is it about powers? About insecurity? It's like it's about all of them. Yeah, so you'll read my book when it comes out in ten years and it will be in this. But I was, I'm just interested in all those dynamics like um, feeling powerful over men that I generally find disgusting, also feeling sexual, just a lot of making money. So so I've always been interested in stripping. And I've read two like kind of memoirs by strippers. The last one the last guy I dated me for my birthday, honestly, very considerate, very considerate that I really he knew me, and he said, I hope this inspires you, and so it did. And so a guy I was coaching improv um he d J at a strip club. And I'm too close with people I coach, I end up sucking them. You know, in cons it's consensual, but you know, I don't have a I'm not professional at all. Everyone's my friend, you know, I overshare all the time. So so I was telling them how I always wanted to try out stripping, and he was like, you know, you could come to my my club and I could introduce you to some girls. So maybe for six weeks every weekend I would text him and say, I'm going to your club this weekend, and I would never go. I was so intimidated. I've only even a strip club once and I was like a fish out of watch. Hated it. I felt uncomfortable, but I didn't want to feel uncomfortable, so I wanted to conquer this. So what finally pushed you? Well, I just I was you know what. I was like, I'm getting an uber and I'm putting I'm putting in the strip club's address and I'm not going to change it. And so I just went and like, this is what I want to do, so do it. So I went and it was it was really cool. He had all the bouncers like they knew I was coming. So he brought me to the DJ booth and I felt like v I p and there there were a couple of girls that came over because I guess he's a you know, he's nice. So all the girls like to talk to him. And they were all exactly who you think they are. They're like master's degree, mother's like smart women who are working it. And this girl came out to me super super sweet, and my friend kind of told her what was up, and she's like, she took me upstairs right then and there and like showed me some tricks. And I'm flexible. I was a cheerleader. I auditioned to be a CAB's answer and the next answer did not make either. But I just want you to know I know how to dance, I'm flexible. I do yoga, and I go to the gym. I ran marathon. Yes, I can't even the pole, forget about it. Getting on the pole is the hardest thing, having to be really strong. These women are acrobatic. Yeah, So she was showing me some stuff, and so she would like a couple of times in in like maybe the course of three weeks, four weeks, she had a pull at her apartment. So I would go to her apartment. I call her my stripper guru, and she would teach me some stuff. I was horrible. I got bruises, all over my body. And then one night she was like, you were going to audition at my club this night. Yes, And I was like, she's like, don't put it off anymore. You're not putting it off anymore. See you there. So my DJ friend told the management that I was coming in that night. Um, And and my supper guru had like instructed me what to get off of Amazon. So I had stripper heels, I had like a stripper thong and a dress and I auditioned and it's it's an audition is thirty seconds. You basically just take off your dress and go around the pole. And it was the most awkward thirty seconds of my life. But I'm like, I pulled it off. I pulled it off. So then the house mom come over to you. She's been watching you across the way and she comes over and um, she said, unfortunately, we can't take you. And that is a that was a blow myself a team because you think, like anyone can be a stripper, but I think it's going And I had just kind of broken up with the guy I was dating who got me this book, so I was like all this Megamonto was crying in Midtown was horrible. So I worked with her a couple more weeks and then the next weekend we went to three different strip clubs and we we landed on one in Queens who said we could work that night. Do you make money? No? We worked that night. I gave two lap dances. I kept on stripping over I mean tripping over my tripping over my heels, and it was like not got the first lap dance I gave it andn't even like what the hell I was doing? I know, but it was the second la dance I gave. He was like slapping me with money and I love but it just happened to be a slow night at the strip club. And the sure Guru, she's like a magician. She can make anyone talk to her and I couldn't. And so I've heard that you make most of your money between two and four a m. But we were there since like nine, and I just couldn't smile anymore. I just couldn't suck in. My ribs were hurting like it was. I couldn't talk to these guys anymore. And so you have to pay a house fee. But I had only done to lap dances, and I'm like, I'm going to break even, So I just went into the bathroom like and just changed and ran out of there. So you didn't even you didn't even pay the house feed. No, I did not, Wow, Carly, I such respect. I just gave a monologue. That's my next one. That was insane. Also, like, kudos to you for having that experience, Like that's something that you It's like you can either sit at home and sit on your couch and like let life go on out there, or you can go strip in Queens. Yes, and it was. I mean, I'm so happy that I did it and that audition experience. I'm sorry that happened, and I'm sorry she came up to but like I would honestly rather it be that way almost, I would rather you just know right then and there like how you did or or was that like really harrowing and really you know, it was horrible because I had the best stripper at the club and also the DJ putting in a good word for me, And I had heard later that the house mom and one of the managers are married. But then the manager like had a thing with one of the strippers, so they were on a stripper freeze. So I had heard that they weren't hiring anyone. That's that's the title, that's the title of musical. But I didn't know that sone like you're rejecting me. My body sucks. I saw like there's not a man in the world that could pay me to sit on his lap, which is how I felt at the time. But now I've come out of it so much stronger. Yes, well wait, this was pretty recent. Yeah, this was um well, last summer. Yeah great, Oh my god, hasn't been that long. It's been that long. You wouldn't do it again? You would do it again. I think I would do it again. But just like for friends, just like a casual atmosphere. I mean, I definitely I want to. I mean, I love the idea of conquering things. It did make not that I had huge issues about my body, but there truly is nothing like just for hours running around naked or getting up on a pole and knowing you look like a fucking idiot. And the whole time I wasn't topless the whole time, but I was wearing like what I was wearing was my friend gave it to me. Because at each strip club, it's it's it's unspoken but there's a different vibe. So some strip clubs are like lacy, kind of longer dresses, some are like punky. Some this was like a very colorful. All the women were wearing a bright colored bikini. So I borrowed from my friend so a very small bikini top and then my thought long. So I was running around in that. But when you're on the pole, I mean, I wanted to take off my top, so I did, so I did, And was there any money made? I made? I think sixty dollars. Well, how many people were there? Not a lot? And like I said, I left at two and they were you don't make any money before too, So I gave two lap dances and then the tips I made when I was on the pole, I think. But I'm telling you, these women were at this strip club. They were all they all had a different body type than me, and that's what the men wanted. They wanted that body type, and they were all acrobatics on. The bar was very high and you could you could smell, Oh yeah, you could smell how how new I was. You could smell how I just like literally, yes, you could literally smell my vagina smelled like new vagina. And just like my huge grin, like so eager to please the night. Yeah, some guy just handed me a dollar as I walked by because he knew I was a baby. It was a pity tip. I'll take it. Sure are a lot of strip clubs like that, homogenized with body types in that way. This one was. It seems like you're saying that this one was like it was the same type and it was the same skill. But I feel like different strip clubs. I just want to go to a strip club where it's like they stomp around. I don't want them to do stuff I do. I do think, I do think. I think it depends on where the club is. So these were these were, um, mainly Spanish girls, awesome, huge butts, is what I'm trying to say. So. And then this other strip club we went to, which was called Pumps in Williams. That's definitely more hipster. That's just the vibe. So I would say the body type. God, I hate to say this, but this is how someone else would say it real, you know. And then the first club that I auditioned at, which was called Vivid, those were, I mean, they definitely had different definitely all different types of women. But the vibe was class here they you know, quote unquote class right, yeah, okay, let's go around. What's the type what's the vibe? We uh, well, let's say each of us opens are in strip club. What's the vibe? What's the type that we want to go for it? Okay, so my strip club is like, what's it called? And yes, please, well here's what it. Is it male strippers or is it female strippers? Both? It can be non binary strippers. Mine is Mine is a strip club for people that I just want to come in and have a fun experience. So everyone puts on three D goggles and everywhere it's like all the walls are like fun house walls, and you get led through and there's a narrative like where the clowns are, like what will happen to you by the end of strippers like their clowns in their clown makeup, but yeah, their dicks are hanging and their butts are all blue blue blooping around, and so there's a narrative and at the end and like during the evening, it's like a musical that you live in and the performance there's musical numbers are stripped teases and at the end there's like a big like narrative conclusion and all the clowns are like stripping. Um, that's that's cool, which sounds I think it's called duffun house, um, but also classy and sexy right right? Mine is um. Mine is just sleep No More. But everyone wears nipple clamps and it is like like defune house. It's very narrative, very immersive, um, and it's called Sleep No More Clamps. Okay. Mine is inspired by Katie Perry's teenage dream very cloud like clouds, angels, harps young girls. Yes, yes, the cover is outrageous. It's a hundred and a hundred and seventy five of that already goes to the girls. That's okay. And so lap dances usually they're twenty. At this place, they're fifty and the girls get to keep. Yeah, that's great. And where's the house? Is that? How lap dances work like you make a portion of your money and then you give some to the house. There's a cut. And also and also strip clubs work like the later in the night you get there, the more you have to pay. So that's why if you get there at like eight pm, you don't pay anything. But you're also not working until two am because nobody's really in there, right right, So yeah, teenage dream things. Are you doing sidework, you're marrying the ketchups, you're on your phone, or you're you're having you're actually having conversations with with the clients, okay, Or you're working on polt tricks. Oh yeah, so it's your training you're practicing, yeah, or you're doing drugs. And so mine's very like Heavenly and it's called teenage cream. Have a sense of humor this club, it's going to be funny too, Matt, don't in post humor on my club. Alright, Fine, I just think we all have a particular edge and that we could make comedy strip clubs. And no one's seen that yet, and I'm thinking, let's let's just keep it on the table. I guess that's how strip clubs used to be, Like the girls were changing. They would there would be like don Riggles, have you heard about naked boys singing? Yes, all right, I back in the day was going on a couple of days with a guy that was one of the naked boys singing, and I wanted to come and he was like, no, don't come, it's not sexy. So I feel like maybe that means that that's like a comedy show. I think it's like, I'm sure it's like a review style kind of goofy kind of nudity. It's not like sexy. Why would Why wouldn't he want you to see it? Because I think we hadn't only seen we hadn't seen each other naked yet, so it was like, I don't want the first time excuse me naked to be like singing, like you know where the boys are? I hear that. I feel like naked boys singing is like seventy comedy show naked like nudity. I want to I want to perfect fifty balance. I think it's all percent fifty year old women in the audience like oh yeah, I'm pointing and gas like I'm here with my sister and my cousin and we never get to get together. We saw the show, we thought, oh my gosh, I just got divorced. Yeah, but it's good. It's good for her, that's yeah, that's the I mean. And there's no game, and it's not for game at at all. I don't think it is for game. I think I think the gay man. If they want to see naked man, they just hop on grinder a block away or like, yeah, they're insane. Oh my god, someone, have you been to that place? What's it called the Cock? He's asking and not me. Have you been to the car? No? I just want to clear if it's an exclusively gay clubs. Yes, I've never been there, But does what goes down what they say goes down really go down? And you don't want to go because there's like a ten dollar cover every night. It's not worth it. But the only time I went was before I think it closed down in like two thousand and eleven, and then it reopened recently. But the only time it was in two thousand and ten, I want to say. And I went in with my friend Kyle, and within five minutes of me being in there, some fucking shit faced like like idiot, just like stuck his tongue down my throat and I was like pushed him off. I was like, we're leaving. It's just it's not a good place. So um it lost culture ista like ship Post for the Cock. It's a terrible, terrible bar. We're here to shut them down and this isn't even like and I don't think so, honey, it's like it's a bad place anyway. Um, Carly, Let's ask you what we ask all of our guests, and this is the question it is. It's the question that really this whole you know, this whole cast centers around. It's what was the culture that made you say? Culture? Want that I understand the question. And I have a two part answer. Okay, I have a feeling I know one. Oh yes, I'm sure you know the second part of my answer. But the first part is I went to school outside of my district, so on weekends I wasn't I didn't really play with the other kids because I didn't live by this. So my mom had us watch her favorite movies, which were Rocky, Horror Picture Show, Annie, The Sound of Music, Bye Bye Birdie, musical musicals, so I mean on repeat. Those were the couple of movies I watched all the time. And and and honestly, my mom, I got. My mom worked very hard, so she just wanted to watch TV on the weekends. And I just want you to know I was a very active child, but we watched TV a lot, so the musicals, but then my mom also loved MTV shows and think I knew you were going to say that. We watched the Real World road Rules. We watched like um Studs until my parents and I couldn't watch Studs anymore. And then my mom on Saturday nights would wake me up at eleven o'clock and we and my sisters and we would or just get my attention if I was awake, and we had this kind of like fold up mattress that we would unfold and she would make popcorn and we would watch Sarennite Live. So I feel like so much of who I am came from Saturdays, like watching these movies like I fell in love with theater, with music, with wanting to be a star, with wanting boys to like me, and then and then also comedy that's so funny. That is a very neat little that is the neatest, tightest Saturday night. Here's my cultural upbringing. We've had fold the fold up mastress on Saturday night. That I knew that you were going to say, like those Oh yes, yes, so that's what you thought. I was gonna set a certain don't call them a boy band. Okay, we debate, okay, but we'll get there. But the thing is like, yeah they were. That was such a moment for those shows like Next and Room Writers and all that ship. And I feel like if those shows were super big now, you'd be hosting all because I thank you for saying that, because I feel like and I feel like we need to make them. We need to bring them back. Okay, why not only for the sake of having Carley and philipin host them. Yes, well we we She needs to work, Yes, this girl, this girl needs to work, and we need semen on mattresses being seen by black lights again. But just to clarify, I'm not begging for the work, but I want to work. I want you to fulfill your destiny. Yeah. So it's all those TV shows And ironically it was all my mom who introduced in the movies. And so I never calocked you as a musical theater. Yeah, I keep it a secret. But I wasn't a musical improv team at the Magnet and the Pit. I loved musicals. My a I M screen name was Broadway BABYCF. I would never know that. Yeah, I can't sing that well and I just got But you never talked about theater. Yeah, I was truly you know, my friends from my school are going to listen to this and they're going to think this is so funny that nobody knows. Yeah, I mean Annie, I love Annie so much. I that was the reason I fell in love with New York, like a little girl running around New York with a dog and no parents, Like that's literally what I wanted to be with. My my first boyfriend, Alan, he uh. We were together when I was in Cleveland and also together when I moved to New York and he was in Cleveland for Christmas one year he got me a locket that said maybe far Away and inside was a picture of him and Annie. When did he when he come out? He hasn't and he hasn't, and I don't think he's actually going to come out as gay. I think he's an okamon as a woman. Okay, cool, Really, what makes you say that? What makes say that? I feel like I already said his name and this and I shouldn't say anymore. And honestly, that's more respect I've given anyone I've ever done. So true. Okay, So I was expecting you to throw No, I can't. I mean, listen, Alan, if you're listening to this, if we're off the mark, We're sorry, but if we are, then do it. Yeah, and you know what he does. I'm not saying his last name and the woman I'm dating he's dating. Now, I'm like, could you get a less obvious? Okay? Um? And so yeah, but anyway, I truly love love musicals. Yeah, okay, So have you ever seen the show Funny Girl? Yes? My mom, Yes, my mom got me the soundtrack of it. That's another thing. My mom just like loved musicals. My dad is a musician, so he played in like the pit orchestra for some like local musicals. And my parents, like super super influenced me because my mom works the government, so she's like tough and she's like, you need to work hard at your career. But my dad's a musician and he's like he I mean, when I moved to New York, my dad played the mandolin every single night when I went to bed in the basement, but I could hear it throughout the throughout the whole house. When I moved to New York, I could hear it when I went to bed. My dad practiced music every single day and it wasn't even like you've got a practice music. So it was just ingrained in me, like if you want to get good at something you love to do, just do it all the time. And that is why I have excellent work ethic. Carly does have the best work ethic in the community, I think, and I think yeah, because I think that you see what you want and you act like it. Thank you, Like that's that's the entire car and thing. Yeah, this is what this is what it is. It's um, it's carly Anne always communicates what she is and why she does what she does, and people connect with her because they agree with what she believes in. And that is why carly En filled In will be president. I would definitely vote for you for president, really for sure, because I feel like I feel like I know things would get done, and now that Donald Trump is president, I believe that you can be you know. Okay, So my mom works for the government in Ohio. So my older sister, her name is Kelly, but that's her nickname. Her full name is Kalina because my mom loved the name Kelly, but but wanted my my sister to be first woman president and she said no one would take her seriously with a name like Kelly. That is such a gendered thing too. I thought about that before, like some female names just sounding very female like and thinking in your head as you're raising that child, like, oh, no, what are people going to think of the fact that I have a Brittany as my daughter, or like, you know, my sister's name is Chelsea, which is like very feminine, I think, and with male names, I don't know, maybe this is like a white like come from a masculine type thing. But everyone's name is like John and Anthony and Matthew and Christopher, and they're like, oh, I get you. My name is also John. Yeah, you're late, And I don't know, it's just a it's a very interesting thing to think what you're given when you're given your name and when you're a woman. That's very interesting that your mom was thinking that way. Yeah. I mean my mom went to boot camp when she was eighteen and then went immediately into the Navy and then work for the coast Guard and then continued school. I have two sisters were very close in age. Win to night classes brought me and night very young sisters like maybe five, seven and nine, and we would color in the lobby. Well, my mom was in class and she would just come out like every half an hour and check on. My mom really worked her ass off. I think when you write your book and like it will happen, I think you have to like talk about these moments as like sexual empowerment and relate it back to you having this strong female figure in your life. Yes, but I will also say my mother has caused let's just say, for me to talk a lot in therapy. And I guess that absolutely every parent, they give you the best of you and they give you the worst of you know. I say this all the time because so my parents have you know, they It was very hard for me because they've never said that they were proud of me. And I felt like I was like setting up goals and knocking them down my whole life. And they never were like, we're proud of you, and they never said we love you. And it caused so much just grief and sadness and emotional turmoil my whole entire life. Now it causes problems. It's in my new solo show that I'm writing. This doesn't mean I'm going to be your boyfriend coming up coming soon to a theater near you, But but I've just recently learned that them acting like my accomplishments weren't a big deal has made me realize, like, I'm just always going to pomplish things like my parents thought it was so normal, like oh, for you to move to New York, for you to become captain of the cheerleading squad, for you to do this that it's of course, we knew you were always going to do it. And it has sucked me up my whole life until like I've realized it maybe a year ago. Then I'm like, oh, this is why I'm so confident though, because it was never made a big deal, it was always expected. It's really interesting. I relate to that so much, Oh my goodness, because yeah, like I was just home this weekend with my parents and it was and I was thinking, I was like, oh, I was like, there are really very few things in my field of work that I would do that would mean anything to them, just by virtue of them being like immigrants, and by virtue of them sort of not really connecting on any level with like comedy and as as like an art form. And so I was just like, oh, that kind of sucks, Like the only the only things that would mean anything to them would be like jfl or like like like some other like like there's just I'm just saying this. It's a very small pool of stuff. And so for you to say like, well, uh, that just means that you're going to keep accomplishing things because that's the norm. I think that's I think that's I think that's probably what drives some some of what I do too. It's like it's like, yeah, this, I'll just keep turning stuff out because it's like it's it's it's what I know, and it's like and there's and the only reward is not someone saying I'm proud of you. It's just to do it for the sake of doing it, which is I think is really value. This is really interesting to think about, like because now I'm thinking about it for myself and I'm very result oriented because all throughout my life, like when I did something good, my parents did praise me, but when I did something bad, I got read for filth. Like when my dad felt like I wasn't putting my best effort, he let me know and didn't stop letting me know, like very hands on, like with athletics and then with school and academics because creatively I wasn't you know, ignited yet that didn't happen until I was in college and stuff. But in terms of sports, and in terms of school, and in terms of being a person in the world, it was like, when you did the right thing, you were really praised in my house, but when you did the wrong thing, it was like you no better get out of my sight. It was like very much the extremes. And do you think it's helped you but also hurt you now as an adult or see? I think I think you have to look at all of these things of strengths at this point because now it doesn't even really matter. It already happens. Well, I think like the three of us sit here like as the result of our upbringings. You know what I mean, and you have what you have now and you can't go back and change it. All you can do is learn from it. And so therefore you have to say all these things. In my personality, I'm just going to consider them strength. Yeah, you're definitely awed. I definitely agree with it, just in my personal situation, like I have a belief that I will succeed. I get stressed out sometimes, but I have a belief that I will succeed in in my career and I act like it and I manifest sit and it is coming through. But I also have a belief and it's a belief that I've learned and I'm trying to and learn it. I know it's not logical that I won't be loved, and that's what my that's what my new show. That doesn't mean I'm going to be your boyfriend is about. It's and it's it's not logical and any and I love my It's not about loving myself or having self esteem. It's it's someone reinforced the belief in me that I wasn't going to be loved and I wasn't going to be chosen. And it's so yes, I agree that it's a strength, but it's also it's it's hard. Hard. I mean, however you're raised, however you're raised, you deal with positive and negatives of that when you grow up and you just have to face it. But anyway, so my second, well, let's we actually have to take a break. And this is like so fascinating. We aren't peeling back all the layers. I'm really excited about this kind versation. And yes there is a certain well, well, I won't say boy band, okay, thank you, We'll say a band, will say the original mail time okay, which is, you know, a compliment to Time's compliment to time.

Yes we are and um we tease you, We teased you before we um took a little break for a little bit of our offer um with the certain band that Curly. So part two of my introduction into my culture. So when seven um, specifically April, which is my Internet password, a song came out and I heard it in the morning and I couldn't concentrate all day. I had this song in my head. But of course I'm like, what the fund is this song? And so I went home and I listened to the radio the whole night, and I had a blank cassette tape and any time this song came on, I record it. And of course that song was and I had a blank cassette tape that I filled up front and backside A and B side with just MOB on repeat because I needed it. I needed it. And you couldn't even just rewind the tape back to listen to whatever. It wasn't that it was just the impulse to want to save it. I can't. It's hard to explain that song is powerful. When that song came out and the video came out, I lost my mind. I was like, this is the catchy, Like this is the catchiest song I've ever heard of it. It is such a good song. And the lyrics they're they're I mean, they're typical hands and they're pretty cheesy, and the rhyme scheme is like almost too perfect, but the lyrics are way way ahead of their time. So the song is about how you have so many relationships in this life, only one or two will last. So you go through all these things with these people, but in the end, who's going to really be there? People come in and out of our lives boplusion in conclusion, Bob, you know what, that was definitely a time in pop music when it was just the made up word. Yeah. Yes. And also Hanson is very influenced by just jazz and bop she bop, and so they were really sad. They were scadding. You know, you didn't ask for this, but there I'll tell you their Their father, Walker Hanson, was in that oil industry is so handsOn it in Venezuela and a few other countries and only had a few cassette tapes to take with them. So they listened to these like fop sheepop and and and songs and like codas dreading and um musicians like those. And they they played their songs back and they learned how to be a band. Carly Enfield in a true culturalista, specifically for Hanson. I loved us. Oh my gosh, I love Hanson. I've been to twenty one concerts one I saw them live one time on Conan. We did. We went to a live taping of Conan and they were the musical guest and they were great. They looked good too. They are so good live. They're just one that's like, yes, but they've been out. They came out in seven it's been twenty years. Happy twenty anniversary to celebrate. On just last week, I came out with a new single and they're going out on a tour right now. And I have to say this. I have to say this. The New York concert which is happening in the fall. I believe September sold out in a matter of minute. Really, and I know you have a far reaching Okay, And I would like to say I did not get tickets for their New York show in September, and I already emailed Cosmo my connections at Cosmos. I forget um, but I need, I need to go. And I just would never want to know that I have extremely great interviewing skills and I can interview them for you. Okay, So you guys, I'm working, I can work. Listen listen up. She comes highly recommended by the by lots called the Resta's Carly and Film. If you have a connect for for Hansen's September concert in New York City, she will do such a conduct, such a good interview with Get Carly to hansont Carly to Hanson. I'm ready to start the movement. You deserve to go thing where it's like you've made a commitment to them. Yes, like that, you should be able to see them for free for it. Not to downplay I have made a comm it mint, but I will say one concerts for a for being a fan for twenty years is at the bottom of what these fans do. And you're only two years old. I'm twenty two, twenty two today, happy birthday. I'm surprised that they sold out in such in such a short time they play. They're playing smaller venues now, but they do have an extreme fan they truly do. You're like one of four or five people I know that are fanatical about them, like their their fans are no joke. They're no joke. What I mean? I met them and I sobbed like a baby. Um nineteen Well, I had met them in Passing likening their autograph, but I got backstage, took a picture with them in a gazebo, listen to their their sound check and they're so nice. Of course I just wrote about hands and because their new single came out and I love it, and you know, and honestly, I think about this a lot. When I listened to this podcast I really do, because you guys, you know, you take like you have these people on your show, and in some way or another they feel i don't know, maybe a little bit of a like an outsider, they were different or something. And then they come to you, guys, and you're like, no, we all loved that, you know, And so this is I'm not, this is nothing. I'm not. I'm not comparing myself to people less privileged than me, although I can, and it would be funny, but I'm not hearing it right now. But I loved Hanson as like an awkward little girl, and I was made it fun of so much, even like going to adulthood. And then I like, I'm an adult, and I realized, why are people looking making fun of the fact that I love handsOn. But I had someone a couple of years asked me, like four years ago, someone in the community, just just saying what Hanson, Like, how is your favorite made hands Like? Why do you like them? And the response I gave them, which I surprised myself, I said, you know, Hanson has always been there for me. You know, Hanson has always been there whenever I needed to be happy, or when I need to cry or just like every life moment I've had, handsOn has been involved. No, I get that, I get that a lot. You know, this is so insane, But that person for me is Kelly Clarkson. I remember, like everything I was going through. I listen to her music everything. When I was in high school and no one knew who I really was, I fucking rocked breakaway. I would blow that ship out. And when when I first didn't have any friends, when I was in middle school and she won American Idol, just seeing her beloved by everyone for who she was. I was just like watching her be her authentic self and she was so talented and America just fell in love with her. I was like, wow, like that's really inspiring. One day I'll be myself. And then I really started to find humor, like just I don't know what it was about sitting and that might say something about me. Only when I saw this, like twenty one year old girl from Texas hoisted up on a reality show, did I know oh self worth? Like it must be something to that. But like and when I first got into TISH, when I first transferred into TISH was right when all I ever wanted came out and I listened to the song ready off That all the time, Like, I don't know, I can just pinpoint so many moments in my life where there was a specific artist that, like I can pinpoint and I totally identify with that. For me, acting wise, it's Kirsten duncet Um. I do think him has taken a page from Hanson long Hair specifically Long Hair. Does Time have other siblings because Hans does. I have no idea. I'm not sure, but Hanson does. How many things? A brother and three sisters? Oh wow? And why aren't they involved? What do they do well? They weren't bored when when Hans started, you know, Zach was like eleven when he played in the Grand Muse. I think, oh my god, that's crazy. Can you imagine being eleven years old? And also even before the Middle of Nowhere came out album the first national album, but they had two albums that they recorded before a local album. So do you think that their dad was do you do you get any sense of stage parenting? Their their dad talked to me. No, I think their dad came up to Walt Walker Walker their their dad came up to my sister and I like years ago. Also Another reason why Hanson um was my introduction to culture was because I was in Tiger Beat. It's like one of those like I did have truly had my bedroom plastered, the ceiling, all walls Hanson. That's amazing. My dad had to call in and one an album off of the radio for me. We made a fanatic video. I loved them. What was the question? Walker? Okay? So we came up to me and my sister and he was like, you guys aren't twins but your sisters right? And we were like, no, Walker, No, they I think they are kind of they are religious. You know, they all the hands in their new video, their actual all their kids lip sync the song and it's pretty cute. Um. No, I don't get a sense of stage parents, and in fact, I get very liberal parents that believe in uh family. And they were like, do whatever you want. They were homeschooled because they moved a lot and they're from Oklahoma. But no, I get I know, no sense of I remember when there sound like turned around and they released that song Penny and that really there's their Their sound turned around more after that, and that's why I liked their new song I Was Born. It's a throwback to classic pop. Hanson like it. I I was born an NBR just raved about it. Everyone checking out, I gotta listen to it. I haven't heard it yet. I feel like you are being the true culturesta right now and teaching us rule number fifty of culture. Sometimes you teach us, and maybe right now is a good time to bring up the text message that said that's that I said. I screened atted that said, I'm scared to have you on the podcast because by the end one of us will be replaced. Honestly, I I stand by that. I think by the end of that will be replaced by I feel threatened by you for that, and also Pat Regan, Oh are threatened by Pat. He knows way more about pop culture than I. Well, recently he texted me and was like, what can you please break down for me? Who's a better singer to Taylor Swift or Katy Perry? And I broke it down for him. And so then you don't feel threatened by him because you taught him something. Well, that's what I'm saying. Like you, you said that he knows more than anybody, but he needs to get up to date on his pop culture princess, but he's trying. It sounds like he doesn't sneaky, he's being sneaking. And I will say when Pat was on, it really felt like it was it became the Pat Regan Show, which was kind of brilliant and it was and and like Bowen reached out to me, it was like, should Pat beyond? I was like, every up Pat villain is like a guest host, like for like a few episodes. But I feel like that's just that's just chaos, that's just inviting chaos. I've had written in my notes like we're going to do a couple of special episodes coming up with themes, and then I just have one of them is just Pat Reagan returns. And he won the Lifetime the Culture Award. You know what, we all we all have our own slice of culture, and none of us are better or worse. No, no, no, Pat knows a lot of facts about what's going on today. But does he know that hands in his four siblings, he doesn't can guarantee he does not that Pat will school any any of us about pretty little liars. Yes, I think Pat is the is like upddate of today. He knows what's happening tomorrow. My pop culture reference is mainly in the nineties. I do love, I do, I do a lot of love, a lot of culture things today. But you are you're the worst sentence. I understood the sentiment. I do nineties but culture today. I'm a radio host. I mean, but Carly Anne is not one of these fair weather and nineties fans like she she knows the minute the question. I'm nervous. When I first met you in story parts. We all met in story parts, which to me, it's so funny. That's the way I met you with story parts, just because I don't think of our relationship now in any story parts, not at all. But that's how we met, like doing like I do, goofy stories. Yeah, and we had to walk up that really seep hill. She went to this school in the Bronx and the hill. It was a mountain and we were the last. It was like, it's like six people in a group when you go do shows the story parts in an elementary school, it's like a small cast that goes in shout the stories for the kids. And we're based in Middown, Manhattan. So we took the subway up to the Bronx to do a show at the school and the subways at the bottom of this gigantic hill, and I think this maybe was our first real body when everyone was so far ahead of us and we're just like dragging ours and I'm athletic. I go to the gym she was, and we were just telling ourselves that. It was like, you have two options. You can, like, we can talk about how bad the situation we're in is, or we can just like try to distract ourselves. Carly was down to talk about it. She was like, so long, this is the steepest that I've ever known. This, it will not stop. I think we're reaching the sky. But truly that it was part of the Appalachian Mountains. I'm convinced, And honestly she continued to bring it up to this day and then we'd walk all the way down and for some reason that was just as hard. But Francisco, what caught me on this topic. I said, story parts of Sorry Pirates is how we met. You said it was odd that we met that way. Sorry, I brought the hill again. Like the first time I met you, we were talking about Hansen. The first time we were really interacting. I said, and then Carly Anne is going to go over here. And you looked at me and you were like Carly, and Boen just referred to you as Carly Anne. But you are Carly Anne Philbin. So I want to know who are you? Really? Are you Carly Anne Philibin or are you Carly Philbin? And there's sometimes an Anne talk to us, wow, and maybe this will open up a new emotional It will because I was Carly Philiban until I moved to New York, and I wanted I needed to reclaim a part of my identity that I had lost, so I became Carly Anne Philban. I've always been attached to my name. My older sister is Kalina Marie. My younger sister, Ivy Tyler. With a name like Carly, I felt like a like honking home born in the middle. She's by the way, by the way, iv Tyler Philman is the coolest person anyone will ever know. She's truly the coolest person. How did how could you not be? In guess what I'll say. I'll say it proud of my sister's queer. I'm an ally, but I'll just say so I started Carly and Philman when I moved to New York and I would like to start going by Carly Anne. That must have been just like a fun joke because I wanted to be sassy, probably because I wanted you to like me, and me because I was in bed rood, because I just walked up a mountain. But anyone, now, anyone who calls me. And also I get asked Peter mccerney a lot of my first year notes where Carly is fun but sassy, not a morning person. I was in the next room when Carly was getting like her notes from the year, and she there was this like he was like, Okay, here are your notes, and then there was this long silence of her reading them. And then the next thing I heard was her handing back the note to me on like yeah, I mean it makes sense. You know I'm a lot, But what you don't know is I had tears in my eyes. I'm very I'm very sensitive. I understand I get that. Wow, I didn't know that. Yeah, I'm very sensitive. And when I feel and I feel this perceived threat a lot, and yes, a lot it is perceived, but sometimes it is real that people don't understand me. So when I feel misunderstood. I'm like, oh god, I want to I want to hit people. Okay, violence, that was people. This is all you need to know about Carly and Philbin to understand her. After I don't think so honey live. We were going around the green room and I know this is great, and I went up to Carly Anne and I said, oh my god, that was so fun. You killed and then she goes, I know, right, Carly and Philbin is she she will never question her own skills or ability, and she's always compident, but she's also sensitive. Yes, And also if I didn't do that good, I would just say thank you. But if I killed, which I did, I'm not going to be like really yes, out yeah, that that's what I do. And I love it when people just accept, like to just accepted. You know what it's like if you went out there and you did great, like yes, like know that. I'm like, I don't know. I definitely think that. Sometimes you find yourself in that in that situation, like you when you're being like, really, was it good? And sometimes of course I do that too, but not one I know, I did good. Yeah, But the thing is like you know, it's it's it's it's interesting to be on the other side of that when you're like, just take their complement. Like everyone everyone just wants to. I feel yes, I feel like that's the difference between a professional and unprofessional is even when they know they didn't kill, when somebody says great job, they just say thank you. It's hard for me because I'm like, did you think my hair was okay? But that's also part of who I am, so it's also fine. Anyway, my name is Carly and Philmon and you can call me Carly Anne. Great you sometimes you call me calf and I love it. What sorry, I'll get guys, is not an ally. Everyone has always continued I am an ally. I just took a break for one second, and now I'm back to being an ally. Before we get on the ally subject, you know what I will sometimes do and it's so annoying. And this is actually annoying, and I apologize for any time we've done this. But I'll call you cap because I will miss misspell your first your last name, pH Yes, I'm not really didn't you just filled? And even though we both are hosts, we both are famous host I think you'll find out that he's actually your father. He's actually a handsome fan. So Calf, We love Calf. Okay, I didn't know you had a queer sister. Yeah, she's awesome. That what you do where. She's in Boston and she d anytime some like her girlfriend. I mean they lived in Cleveland and her girlfriend so cool. Dude, they're so cool. Her girlfriend moved back to Boston. In Boston to go to grad school for m I t too, so her her girlfriend. Yes, and Ivy is very content, like listening to music, buying records and being a BISA. So she's a buriser. But she now just got into this whole like beach body kick and so she's a beach body coach and she has these videos and I found her like she I found her like beach body coach facebook page and she makes these like inspirational videos and they're really good. And this is my sister, Like doesn't want the spotlight. She truly is the opposite of me in a lot of ways, although we have a great relationship. Um, she just really wants She's like the nicest person. She really wants to help people. A couple of years ago, she was in the sporting event called the Gay Games, and also this isn't her story to tell, but she never came out. That's just my sister. She just like was gay. She never felt the need to declare it. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but she also didn't tell me, like she didn't have a conversation with me. Um high ivy post. Yeah. So she so she there was a sporting event called the Gay Games, and there was like a feat like like a couple hundred dollars, and like without knowing, behind her back, her her friends made this donation video so and they all raised money so she could go. My sister is like you can get she can get along with anyone. She's just so not that I think chill is like the best thing to be because people are always like be chilling. I like, not necessarily, but my sister is in the best possible way. She's really cool. Okay, So anyway, I really let my sister and miss her off to Speaking of queer people, Speaking of queer people, guys, Carly and Philbin has prided herself on not being an ally to queer people on social media. Guys, we don't have to, we don't have to really get into this, but we brought this up in Carly and before Matt out here, we were talking about this and she'd clocked that. On a couple of our episodes, we were talking about how, oh I heard you again speak in some conversation about what happened to me. Wait what, there's some just people out there just I'm just gonna say, like like women, Oh, I know we're talking about women women women like coming like just coming out of formative allyship, coming out the cuff whatever, whatever. What am I trying to say? I'm you're trying to say, You're trying to say the performative ally ship. We understand what you are trying to get across. But think about this. Am I helping or am I hurting? Do I want to say something? Or do I need to say something? Like everybody on Facebook like And you know, it's actually kind of interesting because I'm thinking about it in the mold of cyber bullying, and I do think it's a it's a form of cyber bullying, so it's disguised with good intentions, but it is cyber bullying. Like I witnessed you get cyber bullied and that really bothered me. And then then I Matt even like chimed in there and said, wow, thanks guys, this is all for the benefit of Carly. Yeah, I got I got schooled. Somebody decided it was their their job to school me. You've definitely gotten specific now and I'm gladly but here. But you know what, it has happened to me twice because I think people. I think that people think they look at you when they think I want a victimize because I think they're threatened by you. Oh. I think I think I am an easy target because I say a lot of things, but I never try to get involved in these lengthy conversations. I usually just say something and just for fun or a fun thing to say you're a comedian, and it gets warped. But I thought about this a lot because it has happened to me twice. Both very minor incidents, but both I immediately went to my therapist. Really affected me, like crying in days, like my handshaking, Like I saw people who liked the posts that we're calling me out in both these situations and I I defriended them. And but here's what. Here's what I will say. We are in a climate right now that's difficult to deal with, and we haven't had to deal with this before. Jokes and things that were said a year ago are not acceptable now. And as a society, as a culture, we are learning, and some people are at different places on this timeline, but we're all learning. And if you want to put someone down for where they are on this timeline, then they're gonna stop learning because they're going to feel uncomfortable. What happened to me, I felt was somebody's opinion, but people were in a way that Carly, yes, that Carly is wrong. One person went as far to say Carly isn't funny, which is just, you know, not a fact. But people we also, I think we do. I mean people might fight me on this, but I think we do have to look at intent gin and people are if somebody's genuine, like the first one was, the first one was. I responded by saying that I had a show. I have a show that if you're in a diverse couple, you can like, hit me up. I would love for you to be on the show because I felt like what people were asking for was more diversity on stage. And then I got fucking ripped apart into many different pieces and I'm like, like, because I didn't care about improv or it was it was crazy. I mean they're jealous. They're jealous. You know they're jealous. I mean, look, it's here's the deal. Like, you know, if you're not clever enough to be funny and like the way you take down someone and it's just hurting them, that should say it all right there. I mean, look, work on your own ship. This is energy that you're putting into something that doesn't involve you. The funniest part is that the second thinking instance that we're talking about, it's like it was like a straight woman talking about another straight woman and it's like defending gay men in a way that was like not at all called for, and it was like did we ask for this? Oh my god? What happened? Was a year and a half ago I said fag in a show and um it was it was our show together. But I do think, but I do, I truly one don't remember saying it in another show, but I do remember the show that this girl was referencing to, and a lot of referencing and a lot of times I do this bit, which is I say I make the audience say something that is uncomfortable. A lot of times it's Carly's pussy or I want to eat you out, Like I think it's funny. I think it's great. I think it's a really good tool. Does that word make everyone uncomfortable? Let's defeat the word right now together. Can we all just like, like, okay, cool, I think it's like a comedic tool, and you know what, you know what, here's the deal. Not everyone's going to agree with it, but but the point is it happened a long time ago in this instance, and probably a lot of people aren't even gonna know what we're talking about. But what I want to break it down with is if you see someone on Facebook trying the instinct, and what's not going to make it better is to say, but remember when you sucked, or remember when this or like I just want to call you out publicly. If your comments says I just need to call you out publicly, really think about why she said she said. So you can use this as an opportunity to self reflect. I'm like, I see two doctors a week to self it's beyond and you know what, also, don't want to make anyone feel bad, because you know, we all make mistakes. But this is something that you can all learn from going forward. It's like when you know, people talk about getting harassed on on apps, like the online culture is fully out of control. I'm actually getting really upset about the way people are talking about Alexis Michelle on RuPaul's Drag Race. She is a drag queen who's good, like who is a little bit extra, but she's not a bad person. There's someone on YouTube with the YouTube handle I hate, which is fucking stupid, and nobody go look this person up. No, it's just and honestly, at the end of the day, like you know what, like we have like a private RuPaul's Drag Race Facebook group with like a hundred or so of our quote unquote friends, and like it started just like we were just batting around talking about the show, and like then it became this space where like sometimes people are calling out other people for like use of language, and it's like, guys, it's first of all, it's drag and second of all, it's not the horrors that are happening in public on Twitter. It's crazy. So I guess like what I'm getting at with like that bringing that up talking about what goes down like on the apps with like the body shaming and everything, and like the racism, and then also discussing what went down with you, which I think is cyber bulling is separate the way you behave online. Do I want to do this? Do I think it will be funny? Or do I need to do this? Like really you can really para yes, if she I mean if she, if if anyone really is coming from a place of care and messern message me. It seems like so silly, But the fact of the matter is, you know people well me me personally, I'm not isis I'm not a rapist. I didn't vote for Trump, like you could assume that I'm an okay person. And I think it's pretty well known that I'm loved by gay people. I just couldn't believe, like me, out of anyone you're trying to target. It's and also and oh sorry, this is like a This is like a bigger speaks to the bigger part of this is people, this whole cat call out culture. How many of the people are psychiatrists? Like what if really someone if someone has a different point of view than you, is it the best way to make them see your point of view? By quote unquote embarrassing them, Like I wasn't embarrassed. I am a little fearful that, like people think I'm homophobic or people think I'm readist, but I also am like a host and we're all comedians and we and this is a new climate, and we try jokes out and sometimes they don't work, and sometimes they do. The specific show she was talking about, I do not remember that bit, but I do remember that I felt like I was dying on stage. I remember that nobody was laughing at me. And if if another comedian can't honestly relate to that, then you're not a comedian. And just and and just to close this conversation, I mean, even even the alternative of just messaging someone privately and hashing this out privately can still lead to stupid ship like them, like just forcing a conversation that you don't want to have with them that's totally unrelated to what they're calling you out for. But like someone a deferend like unfollowed me on ship because I was uncomfortable talking to them, having a conversation with him that they kept pushing on me for months and months and months about like can we talk about your upbringing against my can we talk about how your parents don't accept you as as gay visa vie my parents, And like, I don't want to gorgeously relate my life like what I've been through with with what you've been through. I just like and so I just said, like, hey, I don't want to have this conversation, and the person unfollowed me as if they were the one who were slighted in that situation. So I'm just saying, you guys have a fucking sense of humor or at least like acknowledge that you don't, acknowledge that you don't or acknowledge that you also are wrong. It's like this moral purity, this moral purism that like we're like mired in right now is just so stupid and it's making people stupid, okay, and so much of it can just be let go. If you know that person is not a terrorist or a rapist us or is an actively committing hate crimes and you just don't like their wording, it's like that's that's on you. There just needs to be a lot more compassion and also a lot of a lot more knowledge of the fact that most of us don't actually know each other very well, you know what I mean. Like, so you might think that because we sometimes like each other's Facebook comments that were you know, actually friends, But like you have to earn that with people, and I hope that we don't lose real friendship. It would be a shame because there are some people now that I see online now more than I do when I first met them. Just people fall out of touch whatever, just like have some compassion in your day to days. I know that people are upset, but this all goes back to the relationships, the relationships that we have in this life, how they're fleeting, and that goes back to hands. And Okay, let's move on to I don't think so, honey, right, are my girls ride or tie? And I will no, And when I'm dying, I will quote you both to my side, and I know that you'll be Here's how I'm going to die. Okay, but did I sound Bowen's going to be looking dead in my eyes and he was going to begin to laugh. But you have said a million times you will be the last thing I see when I die. I think we'll put it to the audience who will be the first to die, me or Bowen. I think that's the kind of questions we ask, big questions ever die. So guys tweet at us. Um, you know, people on the on Twitter have been very active and we love it. We I try to respond to every tweet that's lost. Culture is just related. Um, we love the twitterers out there, but let us know who's going to die first and who will see the other as they die. Yeah, okay, all right, now that we've put put that out to the audience, they have a talking point for next week. Um, let's do I Don't Think So honey, As Bowen said, it's time now. Carly was a part of our I Don't Think So Honey Live event. She crushed. She had an amazing one about people who barely make the subway looking at you triumphant. Yeah, the look of triumph that washes over one's face when they just make the train. Come on, I mean so good. And I think about that every time I'm now run for the train because it's been happening a lot, I know, really embarrassing. Wow. Wow wow. Okay, So I do you have I think do you have one? Because I don't And I was going to actually suggest that we reach for the troll ball for me. Okay, we'll wait for the trouble through. Matt, Um, should I should I? Should I go for it? Or if Carly, if Carly has something on her mind that she'd like for me to rant about. Oh um, well you guys, you sure? I mean, I do have something if you want it? Matt your I don't think so, honey. Is men who won't commit to Carly Anne Philibin, Okay, here regatted, this is Matt Rogers. I don't think it's a honey. Time starts now. I don't think so, honey. Men who won't commit to Carle Philibin. You don't understand you You have a prize and let me tell you something. Just right there, you saw it. When you take a misstep, she will of course correct you. She is always gonna be there to say the real thing. Also, Loki, if you do need Uber home, she will pay. You will offer to pay, she will say no, it's fine, as if she has something going on with Uber And then you kind of press and you're like, why don't you want me to pay? And she says something vague to the effect that she's got a lot of points. I don't know you dake, Carl anshi, but you'll get driven around by the best of the best in New York City. I don't think, so honey. People who don't want that. I don't think so honey. People who don't want to have a good conversation over dinner. Girl. This girl's full of stories? Are you kidding me? You know what I think? If you don't want to take Carly and Philbin, you must be a straight man. You're boring ass bitch. I don't think so honey. Any of you commit to friend Carly and she also has an amazing show on June twenty, and you need to go. I don't think, so honey. That's one minute. That is the best. I don't think, honey, I've ever heard. I thought you would like it. Yeah, it was perfect, Thank you, happy to provide. I think in that same vein, I will also take a topic from Oh my god. Okay, yeah, that's great, okay, um, okay. Watches. I don't think so honey. Watches. Here's time starts now. I don't think so honey. Watches. Why do you even fucking exist? There are clocks, There are clocks on our phones, watches. It is only it is only you know an embellishment that no one needs. There's no function to it, there's no use for it. I'm wearing a watch right now, but it is only for the look, honey, And it's only for the aesthetic. It is only to attract people, to be a conversation starter, Honey. I don't think so, honey. Watches for thinking that that you deserve a whole section in the jewelry store. Now, Jeli stress for rings, the jeweler stress for necklaces and and other jewelry, but not watches. I do not consider watch this jewelry, Honey. Do not step on jewelry, honey, Honey, watches and look, I don't watches for not things for heaven. Batteries, bitch, who do you think you are five seconds? At least have the gall to be solar power. I don't think that's one minute. Sorry, just came off a fly and that was so good. I thought it was wonderful. That was really good. And now we've come to Carly Anne Philibin's get the name right, honey, her, I don't think so, honey. Now you have something prepared, I have something that I would like to Okay, beaut all right, I don't think so honey, Carly Anne Philbin and time starts now. I don't think so, honey. People could get down on their hands and niece and gravel for photo credit, trying a gatorade because you gotta quench. Yo, if I wanted you somehow involved in my picture, why would have asked you to be. I don't act like you're some famous photographer that I need to site. Okay, you are taking a picture with not your phone but phone. You're pressing a button, maybe you do a burst. It's probably gonna be bad. I'm not giving you credit. And also, honey, how do you even know I posted that picture? You're not tacked in it. You're scrolling through my gram, scroll it through my f beat to see that picture that you took at that party that you won't invite you and I don't know your name. Honey. That's what you need to clarify, because professional photos, you must give credit. But she's talking about the man. You can't imagine. I was talking about National Geographic. It's like, okay, let's say Harley, Carly and I wanted you to take a photo of us, and then you were non plus that we didn't that she didn't tag seriously, people are like that pictures, yes, and that people that's why you know, you didn't know that was a part of culture being. Are you saying that I should go in Patrick's day? Yes? No. And people think that's why the emoji of the camera in the flash exists. What that's ridiculous. Yes, But so then you should ask them then why the fucking Chinese character emojis exist and how them going to exist? You know what crisis about that? I will, yeah, asked them honestly. But you've never seen a photo that someone says a photo credit as I literally, if I ever say that, I assume it has to be a bit because it's so stupid people for some reason need it's so inflamed. Ya. No, I don't think so, honey of those people either. Yeah. So I thought you were talking about when someone comes to a show and takes photos and then credit me. I'm like, yeah, bitch, credit them. No. No, Alex Shaefer forever of course, forever Mindy and Alex my heart, both of my hearts. Although I will say Alex Schaefer, I was just on set. He did photos of David Mazzoni. Oh my god, they look so good, and I truly gasped. Did you see the one that did I sell the one that Alex posted? Did he post one? Yes, okay, I have to see which one it is. Okay, they're so good you If you are looking to get photos taken, seek this guy out. Alex Shaefer. He works in the photo department of USA now, so he's busy a lot of the time. But professional, girl, But he's professional and ask a bitch his rate because they are where he's worth every dollar. So I'm not talking about professional photographers, of course not. I'm talking about like that one person who is at the party with you that you asked to take a photo. I can't believe it's ever happened to you know, I can't believe that that's that Those people gotta we gotta put them on a shift of ship and like, let him set the sail and send them to the garbage island in the Pacific. Oh my goodness, Carly, And is that a real thing? Yeah, it is. People live on a garbage and know there's an island. There's an island that's full of garbage that's the size of Texas. Apparently that's in the Pacific Ocean. That's just like with the currents and the like. It's just whirlpooled into like this giant island of garbage. Look, we gotta go, we gotta go. Vacation destination, destination. They will start a resort there. You know, girl, you know you know it? Um wow, what an episode. This has been introspective, and it's been retrospective, and it's been extrospective. Yes, absolutely, Carly and Philbin, we love you so much. Where can people find you on social media? At Carlynne has fun on all forms of social yet oh she's got it consistent. You gotta keep it consistent. Bowen has a has a chicken up, he's done away on others. But honestly, I like how confident you are in that. But I think I think Bowen transcends. Bowen is transcend. I think Boone breaks every rule, break every rule, break in every rule, make the rules, and you gonna bak the rules. Okay, we weren't going to join in when they sing along, Marcus cut this out. Okay, everyone see you later and bye bye. This has been a Forever Dog production, Executive produced by Joe Cilio, Alex Ramsay, and Brett Bone.
