Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_02: I think my girlfriends scared me from the whole idea of pregnancy.
- 0:05SPEAKER_02: Because not every woman looks at a pregnant woman and goes, Oh my god, you look amazing.
- 0:09SPEAKER_02: I want to do that.
- 0:10SPEAKER_02: Some of us go, you look uncomfortable.
- 0:14SPEAKER_02: Yeah, right?
- 0:15SPEAKER_02: Especially when your girlfriends get weird.
- 0:17SPEAKER_02: You ever have any of your girlfriends talk to you when they're pregnant and sounds like they're trying to get you to join a cult?
- 0:23SPEAKER_03: You know what I'm talking about?
- 0:24SPEAKER_03: Where it's like, oh my god, you should totally do it.
- 0:27SPEAKER_03: It's the best thing I've ever done with my life.
- 0:30unknown: Be one of us.
- 0:35SPEAKER_02: I had a girlfriend who really seriously, she started whispering everything.
- 0:39SPEAKER_02: Everything.
- 0:40SPEAKER_02: Because she didn't want to affect the baby.
- 0:43SPEAKER_02: I was like, you're affecting me.
- 0:46SPEAKER_02: You need to stop what you're doing immediately.
- 0:48SPEAKER_02: Because she would say weird stuff too.
- 0:49SPEAKER_02: She'd be like, there's a life inside me.
- 0:55SPEAKER_02: Sounds like you ate someone.
- 0:56SPEAKER_02: That is ridiculous.
- 0:59SPEAKER_02: She would go crazy when the baby would kick.
- 1:01SPEAKER_02: She'd be like, oh my god, oh my god, he's kicking.
- 1:03SPEAKER_02: Oh my god.
- 1:04SPEAKER_02: I was like, what?
- 1:06SPEAKER_02: I would be so mad if I was pregnant and that baby had the nerve to kick me.
- 1:13SPEAKER_02: I would be like, listen here, you little freeloader.
- 1:17SPEAKER_02: You're stealing my food.
- 1:18SPEAKER_02: You're making me fat and uncomfortable.
- 1:20SPEAKER_02: And now you've taken to violence.
- 1:23SPEAKER_02: Really?
- 1:24SPEAKER_02: Where's your face?
- 1:25SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna smack you right in your baby's face.
- 1:27SPEAKER_02: That's right.
- 1:27SPEAKER_02: Discipline starts in the womb.
- 1:29SPEAKER_02: People start it early.
- 1:31SPEAKER_02: Start it early, or they get lippy when they get out.
- 1:36SPEAKER_02: I know what it is with my boyfriend's mom.
- 1:38SPEAKER_02: She's afraid that I'm getting too old.
- 1:41SPEAKER_02: That's her fear.
- 1:43SPEAKER_02: Because I just turned 34 last month.
- 1:46SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
- 1:50SPEAKER_02: Oh my god, thank you.
- 1:52SPEAKER_02: I actually love being 34.
- 1:54SPEAKER_02: I love my 30s, which is because it's a different set of confidence I feel.
- 1:58SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 1:59SPEAKER_02: When I was in my 20s, yeah, I was confident.
- 2:01SPEAKER_02: I had that like cute confidence where I was like, oh my god, I'm so cute.
- 2:03SPEAKER_02: You're so cute.
- 2:05SPEAKER_02: We're so cute.
- 2:07SPEAKER_02: But like if I got all dressed up and I would walk down the street and some guy would cat call me, I'd be like, um, you're disgusting.
- 2:14SPEAKER_02: This is not for you.
- 2:16SPEAKER_02: That is not why I got dressed up.
- 2:19SPEAKER_02: But now, like in my 30s, if you guys cat call me, I'm like, oh my god, still, thank you.
- 2:25SPEAKER_02: Thanks so much.
- 2:28SPEAKER_02: That's exactly why I got dressed up.
- 2:30SPEAKER_03: Thank you.
- 2:31SPEAKER_02: That's amazing.
- 2:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I am I am getting I'm getting older.
- 2:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 2:36SPEAKER_02: So I had to stop doing certain things.
- 2:38SPEAKER_02: Thank God I have a supportive group of girlfriends to help me through this time.
- 2:42SPEAKER_02: Which, by the way, I think girlfriends are so essential.
- 2:45SPEAKER_02: Every woman should have her solid set of girlfriends.
- 2:48SPEAKER_02: Ladies, you need chick friends.
- 2:49SPEAKER_02: You need them.
- 2:50SPEAKER_02: They're your support system.
- 2:51SPEAKER_02: And they'll support you no matter what.
- 2:54SPEAKER_02: You could be crying over a breakup that you caused.
- 2:58SPEAKER_02: Doesn't matter.
- 3:00SPEAKER_02: They're still on your side.
- 3:02SPEAKER_02: You could be sitting there like, but I cheated on him.
- 3:06SPEAKER_02: No, girl, he made you cheat.
- 3:08SPEAKER_02: Don't put this on you.
- 3:10SPEAKER_02: Don't put this on you.
- 3:14SPEAKER_02: We never liked him anyway.
- 3:17SPEAKER_02: There were certain things I had to stop doing, though, with some of my girlfriends.
- 3:21SPEAKER_02: Like with my younger girlfriends, I had to stop shopping with them because they all go to young people's stores.
- 3:25SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 3:26SPEAKER_02: They all go to like Forever 21, which is a great store.
- 3:29SPEAKER_02: It's a great name for a store too.
- 3:30SPEAKER_02: I ought to be 21 forever.
- 3:34SPEAKER_02: I just can't lie to myself and go in that store.
- 3:37SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 3:37SPEAKER_02: You reach a certain age, I can't go into that store anymore.
- 3:40SPEAKER_02: And I hate when I see like 45-year-old women like walking out of that store.
- 3:43SPEAKER_02: I'm like, give me the bag.
- 3:46SPEAKER_02: Give me the bag and walk over to JCPenney like a grown-up.
- 3:51SPEAKER_00: His problem with kids is like the pregnancy part, you know?
- 3:55SPEAKER_00: Because I feel like I'm bloated and uncomfortable on a good day.
- 3:59SPEAKER_00: Never mind.
- 4:00SPEAKER_00: Two, three years.
- 4:01SPEAKER_00: How long does it take to have a baby?
- 4:03SPEAKER_00: A long time.
- 4:06SPEAKER_00: I feel like if I could just choose my gestation process, if I could lay some eggs, I'd be more apt to do that.
- 4:12SPEAKER_00: You know?
- 4:13SPEAKER_00: Then I could be like, hey, do me a favor, come over here and watch my eggs.
- 4:17SPEAKER_00: I want to go sachet around the neighborhood.
- 4:20SPEAKER_00: See if I still got it.
- 4:24SPEAKER_00: I feel like I'm really in no position to think about having.
- 4:27SPEAKER_00: I actually gained 15 pounds last year.
- 4:30SPEAKER_00: Please.
- 4:30SPEAKER_00: It was my pleasure.
- 4:34SPEAKER_00: I'd do it all again if I could.
- 4:36SPEAKER_00: You know.
- 4:37SPEAKER_00: I don't know what it is.
- 4:38SPEAKER_00: I mean, I like to eat.
- 4:39SPEAKER_00: I like to eat in bed.
- 4:40SPEAKER_00: I feel like my duvet is just like a 42 square foot cloth napkin at this point.
- 4:45SPEAKER_00: You know.
- 4:46SPEAKER_00: Let's call it what it is.
- 4:49SPEAKER_00: I woke up the other day with the tail end of a goldfish cracker stuck to my bare buttock.
- 4:54SPEAKER_00: I said, uh, you know, Kendra, you say you want a husband, but your behavior says otherwise.
- 5:02SPEAKER_00: Unless, of course, you're looking for a man breaded in goldfish cracker crumbs.
- 5:07SPEAKER_00: Carry on, my sweet soldier.
- 5:10SPEAKER_00: I knew I was gaining weight.
- 5:12SPEAKER_00: You know, you can tell.
- 5:12SPEAKER_00: You know, my pants were snug, my shirts didn't fit quite right.
- 5:16SPEAKER_00: But when I actually outgrew a pair of my own underwear, that's when I was like.
- 5:20SPEAKER_00: Because we've all outgrown our underwear, you know, as children.
- 5:23SPEAKER_00: Uh I don't remember outgrowing my underwear as a child.
- 5:26SPEAKER_00: But outgrowing my underwear as an adult is something I'm gonna remember till the day I die.
- 5:34SPEAKER_00: That is not a memory that fades fast.
- 5:41SPEAKER_00: There are a couple of things.
- 5:42SPEAKER_00: I mean, then at one time I had on this white shirt.
- 5:44SPEAKER_00: It looked like a little stain on my shirt.
- 5:46SPEAKER_00: And it turned out the stain was on the bra underneath the shirt.
- 5:50SPEAKER_00: Uh it looked like a little fingerprint that had been smeared along in some sort of chicken wing sauce.
- 5:57SPEAKER_00: Which made me realize at some point, hopefully recently, uh, I decided to eat something that was in sauce with my hand while standing in my bra, and decided, I don't need a silly napkin.
- 6:08SPEAKER_00: I can wipe that sauce right on my bra.
- 6:14SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
- 6:19SPEAKER_00: I ended up going to the doctor because uh I I busted the button off of three pairs of pants.
- 6:23SPEAKER_00: And not just like, oh, I'm missing a button, but more like, look out, heads up! People are like, what was that?
- 6:29SPEAKER_00: Oh, it's a button propelling off my size 10 jeans, even though I've morphed into a 14.
- 6:36SPEAKER_00: But I did, I went to the doctor because I thought maybe I had like a stomach tumor or something.
- 6:40SPEAKER_00: And uh, and she and she informed me that I was, in fact, a very healthy 180-pound woman.
- 6:46SPEAKER_00: And I feel like we should be able to itemize our weight.
- 6:49SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
- 6:49SPEAKER_00: I I feel like I have a big head, uh, big big big bosoms, a big back sign.
- 6:55SPEAKER_00: That's 30 pounds right there.
- 6:56SPEAKER_00: Now I'm down to 150.
- 6:58SPEAKER_00: That's not so bad.
- 7:00SPEAKER_00: You know.
- 7:07SPEAKER_00: Yeah, thank you.
- 7:10SPEAKER_00: She um the doctor was very nice though.
- 7:13SPEAKER_00: Like she said to me, you know, if you cut out carbs and alcohol for 30 days, you'd lose weight and you'd have so much more energy.
- 7:19SPEAKER_00: I was like, well, is there anything I can do to lose weight and remain as lethargic as possible?
- 7:24SPEAKER_00: I'd like to be skinny, but apathetic.
- 7:27SPEAKER_00: That's an option.
- 7:29SPEAKER_00: She was trying to be nice.
- 7:30SPEAKER_00: She said, you know, uh it's uh it's like a double-edged sword, because if you were a man at your height and weight, you'd be considered healthy.
- 7:36SPEAKER_00: But because you're a woman, you're considered overweight.
- 7:40SPEAKER_00: And I was like, oh.
- 7:42SPEAKER_00: So you're saying you need a sex change?
- 7:46SPEAKER_00: Alright.
- 7:47SPEAKER_00: I didn't see that coming, but sure explains a lot of things.
- 7:56SPEAKER_04: So I was looking for good maternity wear.
- 7:58SPEAKER_04: So I was like, I need some good tops.
- 8:00SPEAKER_04: So I first I I Googled uh stylish maternity tops.
- 8:04SPEAKER_04: And a lot of the stuff is like, it's kind of folksy and flouncy and mothery.
- 8:09SPEAKER_04: Like it looks like these shirts should come with like a tambourine and a joint, you know.
- 8:16SPEAKER_04: And so I was like, alright, so I went for sexy maternity tops.
- 8:20SPEAKER_04: And that's when you get a little bit more like tighter things and some crosses, but I was like, I want like is there any like edgy, like more rock and roll stuff out there?
- 8:29SPEAKER_04: So I went as far as to Google slutty maternity tops.
- 8:37SPEAKER_04: Yeah, don't do that.
- 8:39SPEAKER_04: Just a little note.
- 8:42SPEAKER_04: Because you will not get items of apparel.
- 8:45SPEAKER_04: It will be another moment of like, wow, who knew there was a fetish genre uh dedicated to that.
- 8:53SPEAKER_04: Is anyone is anyone pregnant in the crowd?
- 8:57SPEAKER_04: Yeah?
- 8:58SPEAKER_04: Alright, you gotta see it and everything.
- 9:01SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 9:01SPEAKER_04: There's a good uh there's a good mock tail list here.
- 9:04SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 9:06SPEAKER_04: Yeah, there is uh there's I was like, oh, let's do some themed drinks.
- 9:09SPEAKER_04: There's uh we got potassium and sour.
- 9:12SPEAKER_04: You're gonna have that.
- 9:13SPEAKER_04: It's got a kick to it.
- 9:15SPEAKER_04: Uh there's the epatini.
- 9:17SPEAKER_04: That is uh a lot of people are against it.
- 9:21SPEAKER_04: You're right, a lot of people are against it.
- 9:24SPEAKER_04: I, for the record, undecided.
- 9:27SPEAKER_04: Uh but everyone who's had one says it's the best.
- 9:30SPEAKER_04: That is true.
- 9:35SPEAKER_04: Kettle one and Kegel, should we have that?
- 9:37SPEAKER_04: Ah yeah.
- 9:41SPEAKER_04: 60 a day.
- 9:42SPEAKER_04: Everyone.
- 9:43SPEAKER_04: All of men too.
- 9:44SPEAKER_04: That's what you should be doing.
- 9:46SPEAKER_04: 60 a day.
- 9:47SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you can do it throughout the show.
- 9:53SPEAKER_04: Uh I have that heightened sense of smell thing.
- 9:55SPEAKER_04: That is like one, it's like the closest thing I think I will ever have to a superpower.
- 10:00SPEAKER_04: The heightened sense of smell.
- 10:01SPEAKER_04: It is kind of cool until you remember that you live in New York City.
- 10:08SPEAKER_04: A place where there are no smells, just odors, really.
- 10:11SPEAKER_04: There is no smells here.
- 10:13SPEAKER_04: Yeah, at the best, you're like, wow, the rotting garbage isn't as bad today.
- 10:17SPEAKER_04: Fall must be coming, you know.
- 10:21SPEAKER_04: Uh, and I stand before you too, as a Canadian who does not have citizenship yet.
- 10:27SPEAKER_04: I am just on a green card.
- 10:29SPEAKER_04: So that's right.
- 10:30SPEAKER_04: Anchor baby, people.
- 10:33SPEAKER_05: Anchor baby!
- 10:36SPEAKER_04: I am uh this is my first, I am very old to be doing this for my first time.
- 10:41SPEAKER_04: Yes, I am.
- 10:42SPEAKER_04: Uh, or as it turns out, I'm both high risk and an inspiration.
- 10:54SPEAKER_04: So you get treated a little bit differently because when I told people uh most no one saw it coming, I didn't see it coming.
- 11:03SPEAKER_04: So instead of uh congratulations, or that's amazing, I got uh how did it happen?
- 11:11SPEAKER_04: How did it happen?
- 11:13SPEAKER_04: Yeah, right, that is an excellent question.
- 11:15SPEAKER_04: Well, uh I was walking down the street and a vat of sperm fell on me, and I was like, oh my god, oh my god.
- 11:29SPEAKER_04: Must have been that toilet seat of Penn Station.
- 11:36SPEAKER_04: Because you know it's possible, because you know it's possible.
- 11:40SPEAKER_04: Actually, the uh the truth of the story is is very, very cliche.
- 11:45SPEAKER_04: Uh I was on the road, and then I came back, and it was Valentine's Day, and my husband took me out for a very nice, very expensive dinner, and I felt guilty.
- 12:06SPEAKER_04: That's how most Jewish babies are consumed.
- 12:14SPEAKER_01: So we had a son, his name is Joe, Joe Hurley.
- 12:17SPEAKER_01: Uh he's 16, maybe 19.
- 12:19SPEAKER_01: Um, he's delightful.
- 12:22SPEAKER_01: No, after we had Joe, Jimmy Hurley went and did the right thing, got a vasectomy.
- 12:25SPEAKER_01: Gentlemen in the audience, if you get a schedule of vasectomy, I beg you, do not do it at the CVS Minute Clinic.
- 12:32SPEAKER_01: Because one year later I found out indeed I was pregnant with my fifth child post-vasectomy.
- 12:36SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you know what they call me up there in Plymouth, Massachusetts?
- 12:39SPEAKER_01: Lucky Christine.
- 12:40SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 12:41SPEAKER_01: Horse you up the ass, Hurley, folks.
- 12:43SPEAKER_01: That's me.
- 12:44SPEAKER_01: Now, I remember the night I found out I'm tossing, I'm turning, I'm like, oh God, no, no, this can't be happening.
- 12:48SPEAKER_01: I jump in the car at 12 o'clock midnight.
- 12:51SPEAKER_01: I drive with the 24-hour Walgreens, I buy the pregnancy test, I throw it in the front seat of the car, I am not even out of the parking lot, and the plus sign is flashing through the bag.
- 13:04SPEAKER_01: I get home, I'm crying, I'm pacing, doing a little praying.
- 13:07SPEAKER_01: Oh god, no, no.
- 13:08SPEAKER_01: Oh, please, Jesus, don't make me do this again.
- 13:11SPEAKER_01: And then I think, why am I suffering by myself in the middle of the night, right, you guys?
- 13:15SPEAKER_01: Right?
- 13:16SPEAKER_01: I am waking Jimmy Hurley's fat ass up.
- 13:20SPEAKER_01: And he will suffer with me.
- 13:23SPEAKER_01: So I went across the hall to his room.
- 13:28SPEAKER_01: Now you gotta be careful, you don't want to startle him too much in the middle of the night because sometimes he he tips right out of his recliner.
- 13:43SPEAKER_01: But he must have known something was up because he actually pulled his hand out of his sweatpants to talk to me.
- 13:49SPEAKER_01: I know, ladies, break me off a piece of that.
- 13:53SPEAKER_01: So I held up the white stick.
- 13:55SPEAKER_01: I said, We're in big trouble, Jimmy.
- 13:56SPEAKER_01: Big trouble.
- 13:57SPEAKER_01: He said, Who has a fever?
- 14:04SPEAKER_01: Now I'm stuck home, prisoner.
- 14:06SPEAKER_01: Five kids, four and diapers.
- 14:08SPEAKER_01: Every day of my life's the same, right?
- 14:09SPEAKER_01: Every day is groundhog day.
- 14:11SPEAKER_01: Just a little shittier than the day before.
- 14:14SPEAKER_01: You wake up in the morning, you go downstairs, there's the other five little beggars all sitting around the kitchen table.
- 14:19SPEAKER_01: No, hello, mommy, no good morning, mommy.
- 14:21SPEAKER_01: Oh no, nothing nice like that.
- 14:22SPEAKER_01: Nope immediately.
- 14:23SPEAKER_01: Waffles.
- 14:27SPEAKER_01: Wait on waffles.
- 14:29SPEAKER_01: I don't want waffles, mommy, I want toast.
- 14:31SPEAKER_01: I don't want toast, mommy, I want French toast.
- 14:32SPEAKER_01: I don't want French toast, mommy, I want papots.
- 14:34SPEAKER_01: I'm not eating those pop-tats, those are stopping shop, those a ghetto.
- 14:40SPEAKER_01: She's in my seat.
- 14:41SPEAKER_01: I can't see the TV.
- 14:41SPEAKER_01: I won't wear that shirt.
- 14:42SPEAKER_01: I gotta paint those pants ruggedly.
- 14:43SPEAKER_01: I wanted that bowl.
- 14:44SPEAKER_01: He got the lucky zippy cup.
- 14:45SPEAKER_01: He looked at me, he touched me.
- 14:50SPEAKER_01: Somebody come in here and wipe my bomb.
- 14:53SPEAKER_01: And that was Jimmy Hurley.
- 14:58SPEAKER_01: I said, I gotta get out of this house.
- 15:00SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna kill somebody.
- 15:01SPEAKER_01: So my best friend Betty told me that the local high school in Plymouth, Plymouth North High School, has a continuing education department for adults.
- 15:07SPEAKER_01: Okay, you can go take, you know, some basket weaving or ceramics or pole dancing or some shit.
- 15:13SPEAKER_01: Now, I go down to sign up, I'm very excited, and they said, Mrs.
- 15:16SPEAKER_01: Hurley, everything is full.
- 15:17SPEAKER_01: They said, but we did get a cancellation this morning on a sewing class.
- 15:20SPEAKER_01: I said, sign me up.
- 15:21SPEAKER_01: I come home, I wait for Jimmy to get home.
- 15:23SPEAKER_01: He gets home, I said, Listen, I did a little something for myself today, Jimmy.
- 15:25SPEAKER_01: You're gonna have to rally a little bit more with these kids.
- 15:28SPEAKER_01: I said, I signed up for a sewing class.
- 15:30SPEAKER_01: Now listen very carefully.
- 15:33SPEAKER_01: It's a six-year course.
- 15:40SPEAKER_01: We meet seven nights a week.
- 15:47SPEAKER_01: Three to eleven.
- 15:52SPEAKER_01: Now, Jimmy Hurley has screwed up the vasectomy to a high gloss finish.
- 15:56SPEAKER_01: Now I have to go get neutered.
- 16:01SPEAKER_01: Now, what this entails as a woman, they call it the hysterectomy, folks.
- 16:05SPEAKER_01: That's what you get as a woman.
- 16:06SPEAKER_01: You get a hysterectomy.
- 16:08SPEAKER_01: And what that involves is uh you go in for your pre-op and they shave you from the neck down.
- 16:13SPEAKER_01: In the pre-op, they shave you from the neck.
- 16:15SPEAKER_01: You're like a newborn baby, all right?
- 16:16SPEAKER_01: They shave you from the neck down.
- 16:18SPEAKER_01: Now they bring you into the OR, they cut you from stem to stern, they open you up and they shell you like a dung beetle.
- 16:24SPEAKER_01: Like a yard sale.
- 16:26SPEAKER_01: Everything goes.
- 16:29SPEAKER_01: That's fine.
- 16:30SPEAKER_01: Everything works out until two weeks post-sury.
- 16:32SPEAKER_01: When you have to stop and shop with two full carts of groceries and five terribly behaved children.
- 16:37SPEAKER_01: And then right then, folks, is when that prep shave grows back in.
- 16:43SPEAKER_01: No warning.
- 16:46SPEAKER_01: You know what they say, folks, for everyone you shave, four come to its funeral.
- 16:55SPEAKER_01: I had more bush than Kenny Bunkport on Labor Day.
- 17:01SPEAKER_01: I went up a pant size.
