Full Out, Stand-Up, Mom Life: Brittany Ross on Keeping it Real · Mommywood

• 0:02
  Welcome back to Mommywood, the podcast where we dive into the
• 0:07
  wild, beautiful and sometimes completely crazy world of being
• 0:12
  both a mom and a performer. I am your host Emily, and if
• 0:16
  you've ever found yourself running on coffee, passion and
• 0:20
  the sheer willpower of a sleep deprived parent then you are in
• 0:24
  the right place. On this week's episode of Mommy
• 0:28
  Wood, I have the pleasure of talking with the hilarious
• 0:30
  Brittany Ross. She is so funny, multi talented,
• 0:35
  she's a brilliant stand up comedian.
• 0:38
  All of her content is so funny. Make sure you follow her.
• 0:43
  Check out some of her shows. So funny, she's cracking me up.
• 0:47
  She's also the host of a brand new podcast called Full Out,
• 0:52
  which is out now. And it's such a cool concept
• 0:57
  about people who have gone full out for something in their past.
• 1:02
  Like say someone now is an actor, but they were a
• 1:06
  collegiate athlete when they were in high school or college
• 1:09
  or whatever. So it's really cool to hear
• 1:13
  people talk about something that they used to do full out, but
• 1:17
  how it's not their path anymore. It's so interesting.
• 1:21
  I love the concept. On this episode of Mommy Wood,
• 1:24
  we talk about the roller coaster of being a working actor mom and
• 1:28
  the identity shift that comes with motherhood, and how comedy
• 1:33
  can be both a coping mechanism as well as a creative outlet.
• 1:40
  Britney's honesty and humor and her perspective on this crazy
• 1:46
  industry are so refreshing. I love how honest she is about
• 1:52
  being a mom. A lot of her content now or her
• 1:57
  comedy is about not about her kids, but about her perspective
• 2:03
  on her life as a mom and things that happen and how they affect
• 2:08
  her. And if you're a parent, you will
• 2:10
  definitely relate and definitely get some good laughs.
• 2:13
  So I'm going to stop talking and I am going to let you enjoy this
• 2:19
  episode of Mommy Wood with the hilarious Brittany Ross.
• 2:24
  Well, thanks for being here. I'm so excited to meet you in.
• 2:27
  Person, I've been following you and all your content and you're
• 2:32
  hilarious. Thank you SO.
• 2:34
  Much so, Brittany, you have two kids.
• 2:37
  You have a girl and a boy. I have.
• 2:38
  Two kids, Yeah, I have a daughter who's 5 1/2 and a son
• 2:42
  who's one. Wow, that's.
• 2:45
  How many kids? Sounds like a lot.
• 2:47
  I have one, I have one girl and she's three.
• 2:50
  OK, yes. And I feel like from things that
• 2:53
  I've heard about your daughter, that our daughters would be
• 2:57
  friends. Yeah.
• 2:59
  They would be like a very bad influence on your daughter, my
• 3:02
  daughters. Become like the bad influence.
• 3:05
  She started a new school and she's like, I don't like my
• 3:08
  school, I don't like my school. And I'm feeling like heartbroken
• 3:11
  for her because I'm like. Oh, would you like her new
• 3:13
  school? And then I go to pick her up.
• 3:15
  And she's sitting under the playground putting lipstick on
• 3:18
  like 4 girls that she'd snuck lipstick.
• 3:20
  And I was like, I think you're going to be fine.
• 3:22
  Here I'm like, you don't like the survivor, you might get
• 3:26
  kicked out of the school. You better be careful because.
• 3:30
  I feel like my daughter just got kicked out of one of her dance
• 3:32
  classes because she was like I don't want the blue dot bitch.
• 3:37
  She was like, I don't, I shouldn't say that obviously,
• 3:40
  but she was like, no, she was like.
• 3:42
  They kicked her out. She was like, well, then she was
• 3:45
  being fully disruptive and just running back and forth.
• 3:49
  So she kept coming outside to take breaks.
• 3:52
  And then we were like, that's enough breaks, too many breaks.
• 3:56
  Let's just it's not happening today.
• 3:58
  Yeah. But that's somebody.
• 3:59
  And what does your husband do? He's he's Swiss.
• 4:03
  He's Swiss. I married a guy from
• 4:06
  Switzerland. He, he was when I met him, he
• 4:11
  went to Northwestern for acting. So he's like a very talented
• 4:14
  actor, and then he just doesn't like the.
• 4:17
  Business of acting and. I always joke that I'm like
• 4:23
  untrained sitcom actor who's like Doo Doo Doo.
• 4:26
  I'm just like, I love the business of acting cuz it's
• 4:29
  competitive. And I love anything competitive.
• 4:31
  And he's just like, and he's like, really?
• 4:35
  Well. I mean, I've been to acting.
• 4:37
  I I feel like I'm trained, but I'm very like it's different
• 4:42
  and. Like he knows every play and all
• 4:45
  you know he knows. All that stuff.
• 4:47
  And then he switched to real estate.
• 4:49
  And then when he was like, I don't like the business of
• 4:53
  acting. I need to do something else.
• 4:55
  And somehow, like all these doors in real estate opened for
• 4:58
  him that he always wished would have.
• 5:00
  Like enacting and then the. Pandemic happened and he was
• 5:05
  like I doing real estate. I mean, at the beginning of the
• 5:11
  pandemic, we had just had our daughter.
• 5:13
  She was 5 weeks old, I think. Oh.
• 5:15
  My God and we both. Had these like huge career
• 5:18
  things happening, like I sold the show and we're gonna leave
• 5:20
  to shoot it. And he had this like huge
• 5:23
  listing in escrow and we're like, we did it.
• 5:26
  And then the pandemic happened and like, everything fell apart
• 5:30
  for everybody but. And he was like, you know, I
• 5:33
  just don't feel like at the end of my life, I want to be like, I
• 5:37
  sold a bunch of houses. And he likes working with like
• 5:41
  first time buyers or second, you know, people who it's like a
• 5:44
  really big deal. It's like an emotional thing.
• 5:47
  But I think he was working with a lot of like high end people
• 5:51
  who it's more like a. Business transaction.
• 5:54
  He's like I said, I didn't like the business.
• 5:57
  Yeah, I know. So then he.
• 5:59
  Can we believe? He was like, I was like, you
• 6:00
  know, life is long, you should do whatever you want to do.
• 6:02
  You still have like, a lot of time left if you're not happy.
• 6:06
  And he thought about it and he's like, I think I want to become a
• 6:09
  therapist. And I was like, what?
• 6:11
  You can do what? I was like, yeah, but not that.
• 6:14
  I was like, what do you mean you want to become a?
• 6:16
  Therapist. I've never, I've never heard him
• 6:19
  say you wanted to be a therapist, but then he.
• 6:22
  Spent like a year or two like really thinking about it and
• 6:25
  then he went back to school and he just graduated and he's like
• 6:30
  never been happier. And he's therapist now.
• 6:33
  Wow. And he's still doing real estate
• 6:35
  some he just graduated and he's still doing it for like his
• 6:40
  clients that are like repeat clients or people you know, he's
• 6:43
  still doing it. But he is seeing like clients as
• 6:48
  a therapist. Oh.
• 6:49
  Wow, well, that's great. That's like, I feel like I've
• 6:53
  had a lot of actor friends who are like who moved into doing
• 6:58
  therapy as well, and I confess that kind of makes sense.
• 7:02
  But that's nice that he that like you 2 understand each other
• 7:05
  like or he at least understands what you do and it's not like.
• 7:12
  Oh, yeah, no, it's not. I'm really lucky.
• 7:14
  He's like, really? I mean, sometimes he's too good
• 7:16
  at it. Like if we're doing an audition
• 7:18
  together or something, he's like, I think you should do.
• 7:20
  And I'm like, no. And then?
• 7:24
  Like he always write. Yeah, we got.
• 7:27
  Really good at it during the pandemic, 'cause you like we had
• 7:30
  no choice but. When we have a choice or if
• 7:34
  we're busy, it's so stressful and I think like in the past.
• 7:41
  He would say things to me like. Was that fun for you to play
• 7:46
  that character? And I'm like, what?
• 7:49
  I'm like literally sending this tape in right now.
• 7:52
  What do you mean? He's like, no, I'm just
• 7:54
  wondering, was it fun? And I'm like, it doesn't sound
• 7:57
  like you're just wondering if it was.
• 7:58
  Fun. Like.
• 8:00
  Somebody like asks questions like that.
• 8:02
  It's probably like the biggest, biggest, like he's caused the
• 8:06
  biggest. Fight in a.
• 8:07
  Relationship so that's and one time he's like.
• 8:11
  Do you put lotion on the baby after you give him a bath?
• 8:13
  And I was like, what are you saying to me?
• 8:16
  Like and he's like, I'm just asking you.
• 8:19
  But I'm like, it doesn't feel like you're just.
• 8:21
  I mean, do you? Think that feels like somebody's
• 8:24
  just asking me that. I feel like I'm probably the one
• 8:26
  who asks the question. I probably wonder questions.
• 8:31
  I'm like, just say. What you mean?
• 8:33
  Straight out he's like, I don't know, I'm just asking a question
• 8:36
  I don't like. That's he's like, he's like, I'm
• 8:40
  gonna therapize this in my head now let's figure it out.
• 8:43
  That's so funny. Yeah, it's interesting.
• 8:45
  When when there's a couple and they're cause some people are
• 8:50
  like I love self taping, like I have a built in reader and I'm
• 8:54
  like, I don't not that. No, I don't like it because it I
• 8:58
  really like going in the room. I like meeting.
• 9:00
  People I like. Talking to people I don't like
• 9:06
  yeah, I get too perfectionistic with it at home and I get I
• 9:09
  think the self tapes that I've done the best on like when I've
• 9:12
  gotten jobs are like tested is because I totally mess up
• 9:16
  somehow in the tape and it I've like thought it was funny for
• 9:21
  some reason and sent it anyways. And then they're like, you're
• 9:23
  getting this series and I'm like, so they just want, I feel
• 9:27
  like self taping sometimes takes all the like energy of you being
• 9:32
  a real person out of it. Totally.
• 9:34
  Yeah, it really does. Because I try.
• 9:36
  And just mess up as much as I can because.
• 9:39
  I'm like, apparently that's full of work.
• 9:41
  Yeah, maybe I need to try it, try that sometimes.
• 9:45
  But so to you, obviously you have a like you have a lot of
• 9:49
  things going on. You're doing stand up, you're
• 9:52
  doing and you're you write as well.
• 9:54
  You write as well. And having two kids, what do you
• 9:57
  think is like the hardest part or which which of those 3 for
• 10:03
  you is like the hardest? I mean having kids for sure.
• 10:08
  Would anybody say anything else? I feel like if you don't say
• 10:11
  having kids then you like don't spend any time with you.
• 10:14
  That's probably true, but I would be like, I've never done
• 10:17
  stand up and that would seem so hard or even writing like 'cause
• 10:23
  that you have to like your kids are always there, but like
• 10:29
  writing like you have to do it yourself and like motivate
• 10:32
  yourself. How do you motivate yourself to
• 10:35
  like to do it? I'm like a very disciplined
• 10:39
  person. Oh, OK.
• 10:40
  Well, I have a lot of structure. For myself, I think when I moved
• 10:44
  here, I was like, oh, all of my days are different.
• 10:51
  Somebody can call you at like noon and be like, OK, you have
• 10:53
  to be somewhere now, like, and you just never really know.
• 10:56
  So I became like a very diligent morning person where I was like,
• 11:00
  I need to do all this stuff before this time before somebody
• 11:03
  can hijack my day, which I feel like helps when I had kids cuz
• 11:08
  I'm like, I'm very like a kind of kind of like an 80 year old
• 11:13
  man. We're all do the same thing
• 11:15
  every day. Yeah, like very, like, I don't
• 11:18
  know, but I think having kids, I've had to get a little more
• 11:20
  flexible. And now I'm out doing stand up
• 11:22
  so late at night that I feel like this last year I've had to
• 11:26
  like change completely who I am because I can't be the same kind
• 11:32
  of morning person. Yeah, I was.
• 11:34
  Like how does that work for you, being out late and then do you
• 11:38
  get to sleep in or are you just like?
• 11:42
  Napping, I mean, but I used to. No, I'm not.
• 11:44
  I don't take naps. I'm not into that.
• 11:48
  I think I napped twice during my pregnancy so.
• 11:50
  That was it. But like, I can't.
• 11:51
  I'm too anxious to take a. Nap.
• 11:53
  No, I'm afraid the day will just like go away I.
• 11:57
  Have AI, don't like it that I can lay in sometimes you notice
• 12:00
  some of like in. The like, yeah.
• 12:02
  That's like my way of napping where I like I can lay down in
• 12:06
  it and it like relaxes me a little bit.
• 12:09
  But I've started I I'm so crazy that I got the one that has like
• 12:14
  these armholes that you can stick your arms through.
• 12:16
  So I've been sitting at my desk like writing in my sauna
• 12:18
  blanket. Oh my God, with the arms.
• 12:24
  So. So I don't know.
• 12:25
  Sometimes they do that just to relax but that doesn't really
• 12:28
  happen anymore since I had a second kid I think.
• 12:32
  I, I don't, I used to wake up at like 4:30 or 4:45 and I'll go on
• 12:39
  a run right now right when I woke up.
• 12:42
  And now that I have a second kid, I don't wake up that early.
• 12:46
  I'd probably wake up more like 637 when they wake up, so I'm
• 12:53
  waking up more. I try to get up at least 15
• 12:56
  minutes before them, but I'm waking up more into the day with
• 13:00
  my kids as opposed to before I was waking up and having like a
• 13:05
  little bit of time to myself. So with your with when you had
• 13:09
  just your daughter, you could wake up a little bit earlier or
• 13:13
  was that like 430 was like pre? Like, OK, I'm just doing so many
• 13:19
  shows at night and then I also have this second kid and the
• 13:23
  mornings are just so much more chaotic.
• 13:26
  Like, so if I'm, like, gone on a run and both of them wake up at
• 13:30
  the same time and, like, getting our daughter out the door for
• 13:33
  school and breakfast and lunch and all this stuff like it, it's
• 13:38
  like, the hardest part of the day for us.
• 13:40
  Yeah. So we kind of need all hands on
• 13:43
  deck at that moment. Yeah.
• 13:45
  And I just physically can't wake up as early as I used to.
• 13:49
  Me either, it's such a bummer. Yeah, I feel.
• 13:52
  Like oh, I could wake up at 5:30 and go to the gym and Nope.
• 13:56
  No, I if I absolutely have to I can but I feel like my eyes are
• 14:01
  sealed shut. I used to like turn my alarm
• 14:03
  off, pop up. You're like, I'm up even if I
• 14:06
  have like 4 hours of sleep and now I'm like I think with the
• 14:11
  baby and then my daughter like emotionally crushing me and my
• 14:15
  son like physically crushing me and then being out so late at
• 14:19
  night. And then tried to work.
• 14:20
  It all the day. I'm like, I'm just so tired.
• 14:23
  And yeah. I always.
• 14:25
  I feel like it's, I forget how like emotionally draining
• 14:31
  parenting is because I'll be like, oh, I got enough sleep or
• 14:36
  I'm like, I feel bad when I'm just like exhausted and I'm
• 14:39
  like, but I haven't like done that much.
• 14:42
  But it's like, Oh, my brain is like, like, like you said, like
• 14:46
  lunch and breakfast and this and that and that appointments.
• 14:49
  It's so much like organizing in your head.
• 14:52
  Yeah, all those like those, those reels that would have
• 14:57
  like, it's like what's actually going on in a woman's head where
• 15:00
  they're just like sitting on their phone and it's like, yeah,
• 15:03
  ordering this and doing that. Oh my.
• 15:07
  Gosh, have you found that like since becoming a mom, Obviously
• 15:11
  you have a lot of your, your or your material like my mom.
• 15:20
  Calls it skits as long as you don't say skit.
• 15:25
  Your little, your little skit, your material has to do like
• 15:32
  with your kids a lot now, of course.
• 15:35
  So obviously that's changed your comedy a little bit or your
• 15:40
  stand up. But have you found that it
• 15:44
  changes like anything else? Like how you, how you, how you
• 15:49
  watch comedy, or like how you view things?
• 15:53
  I feel like, I mean, I've always been a stand up who talks about
• 15:57
  what's actually happening in my life.
• 15:59
  I'm not like a very, I'm not like a super observational stand
• 16:05
  up where I'm like, I, I went to Starbucks and I'm not like that
• 16:09
  as much. As.
• 16:10
  Personal So I feel like like my kids and my husband and my life
• 16:18
  at home and everything with my family is all is like prevalent
• 16:22
  in my life. So I feel like that's what I
• 16:24
  talk about, but I do when I'm out.
• 16:29
  Sometimes I feel especially if I'm out during the week nights
• 16:33
  or different places, I'm like, I know I'm the only parent here.
• 16:37
  And that's also funny. Has been like a funny thing to
• 16:39
  be feel a little bit like a family on a wall in a life that
• 16:43
  I'm not supposed to be living you.
• 16:45
  Know yeah, that is so interesting because.
• 16:47
  Also, I have like AI have like a like a semi normal person life.
• 16:56
  You know, like I'm married. I like my husband.
• 17:00
  I like as much as we let you know as much as we can.
• 17:03
  I like my husband. I have two kids like my kids.
• 17:06
  You know, it's not like a. There are a.
• 17:10
  Lot of a lot of stand ups who have kids and stuff, but I, I do
• 17:14
  feel like I have very little kids and I'm a woman who has
• 17:18
  very little kids. And so it's it's just.
• 17:23
  Interesting to be. Out and like I'm lucky that I
• 17:26
  can be out and do that stuff, you know, my husband like stays
• 17:30
  home at night with the kids like me because he's sleeping
• 17:34
  anyways, but. But but yeah, still like if he's
• 17:39
  he. We have like a good like team
• 17:42
  thing going, but I feel like in other regards, like has it
• 17:46
  changed how I see things? I mean, when I see people alone
• 17:51
  traveling in the airport who are like struggling to travel alone,
• 17:55
  I'm just like, oh, suck it up you.
• 17:58
  Loser. Yeah.
• 17:59
  Like you have a bag? Calm down.
• 18:03
  Stop. You don't even know.
• 18:06
  What do you get? Into or like I've been places
• 18:09
  where like Ed shows or something worse.
• 18:12
  It's like a night show and somebody were.
• 18:13
  Rolling and be like, Oh yeah, this is the first thing I've
• 18:15
  done today and I'm like, oh. My OK well I've done like.
• 18:18
  17,000,000 lives. It's 800 lives.
• 18:21
  Already, Yeah. Not that I want that like either
• 18:24
  or whatever, but it just I don't know.
• 18:27
  Yeah, Oh my gosh. So how do you decide or is there
• 18:33
  any struggle with like what do I share and what don't I share
• 18:37
  like about your kids? Because I love hearing all the
• 18:41
  funny things I. Guess I try and make it more.
• 18:45
  Like if something affected me like so at least like I'm like a
• 18:49
  part of the what I'm sharing. So it's also my perspective.
• 18:53
  On what I'm sharing you. Know so it's like I I probably
• 18:56
  wouldn't just tell stories about things that are happening to my
• 19:00
  daughter that have that like happened to her when I wasn't
• 19:03
  with her. Like, yeah, people were like,
• 19:05
  cool, cool. Yeah, I'm more like I try and
• 19:08
  have myself in the experience because I feel like there's a
• 19:12
  lot of parents and people who are married and things like that
• 19:17
  who have, you know, it's not easy.
• 19:22
  And I think all we really see on Instagram and social media and
• 19:27
  everything is people being like, here's 17 different lunches you
• 19:32
  can make for your kids. They're kind of cut their
• 19:34
  sandwiches like dinosaurs. And here's where you can order
• 19:37
  all the things. To come out they're.
• 19:39
  Not gonna eat it anyway. Like I promise you, if you put
• 19:43
  any work into anything you're doing for your kids, they will
• 19:46
  not want anything to do with it. So.
• 19:48
  I just, I feel like I've always not been like that.
• 19:54
  So I feel, I feel like my I just like try and have a thread of,
• 19:58
  you know? I love being a mom.
• 20:02
  It's hard to be a mom. My daughter is so mean to me
• 20:07
  sometimes, but it's so funny to me how she's like knows exactly
• 20:12
  what to say to me. And I think stand up has been a
• 20:16
  really good release for me with every area of my life where I'm
• 20:21
  like, this is crazy, right? I just want to make sure this is
• 20:24
  crazy, right? So what I.
• 20:26
  Say in front of a bunch of people, they're like, yeah,
• 20:28
  that's crazy. And I'm like, OK, I don't feel
• 20:31
  like I'm being gas flipped by everyone in my family anymore.
• 20:34
  Don't tell me with. My daughter, can you please?
• 20:36
  Stop. Oh my God, so.
• 20:39
  Yeah, how do you, I have the same thing where I'm like when
• 20:45
  my daughter says things, I'm like, OK, I'm either going to
• 20:48
  laugh at you or you're making me cry.
• 20:51
  And so I'm like, which I'm like, OK, so I can't laugh at your big
• 20:55
  emotions. But also when you're telling me
• 20:58
  worst mommy ever or I yeah, bad mommy, bad mommy ever.
• 21:04
  I'm like cool things. I'm just going to sit over here
• 21:07
  and cry. But like, yeah, how do you do
• 21:11
  you just like? I mean.
• 21:13
  Do you just laugh because it is funny when they say?
• 21:16
  Things. Like, you're not my best friend.
• 21:18
  You're like. You're not mine either.
• 21:20
  You're like, yeah, and that would be weird if I was.
• 21:24
  So I try to say I'm like, I know I'm your mom.
• 21:26
  Let's. I know.
• 21:27
  But I'm like, but you're still learning my feelings, but I'm
• 21:30
  not going to let you know that. I feel like I I went through a
• 21:36
  dark night of the soul with my daughter at the beginning 'cause
• 21:39
  she started, she turned on me probably when she was like
• 21:42
  almost 2, like 1 1/2, pretty young.
• 21:46
  And. She was like my my stalker and
• 21:49
  she was obsessed with me. And then it was so stark how
• 21:56
  quickly she just switched to wanting my husband.
• 21:59
  Oh my God. And it was like so.
• 22:00
  Funny, I mean. I was like, it's a phase, It's a
• 22:02
  phase and like, it's not. But I knew, like, I mean,
• 22:06
  through years of figuring it out, she's so good at like
• 22:11
  beating on whatever I'm feeling. And it was really affecting me
• 22:16
  that she was choosing my husband over me.
• 22:20
  And she knew that it was affecting you.
• 22:24
  And also my husband comes from like a very Swiss.
• 22:28
  You follow the rules, you're very respectful of your elder's
• 22:31
  family. And it was making him so mad
• 22:34
  that she was treating me like that.
• 22:36
  Sure. And so she knew that.
• 22:38
  And all of a sudden she had all the power in our house.
• 22:42
  He's like, I'm crushing mom, Dad's pissed and I the queen.
• 22:46
  Of the house. So I think I had to really work
• 22:50
  on myself. To be like, OK, why is this
• 22:54
  crushing me so much and take care of like myself before I and
• 23:01
  now I'm so, I mean, occasionally I'll get like affected by it,
• 23:06
  but now I'm just more like, OK, stop.
• 23:08
  Like I'm taking you to school. That's what's happening.
• 23:11
  I know you want your dad to take you to school and we even make
• 23:15
  jokes about it now. And the other day she was
• 23:18
  walking in after we went to like, do something for her.
• 23:22
  And we got home and she just goes, she's walking out of the
• 23:25
  garage and she goes. And I don't know why I like
• 23:29
  Daddy more than you. And I was like, brutal.
• 23:31
  And I was like, OK. And I don't know why you're
• 23:34
  telling me that right now. Yep, Yep.
• 23:40
  Our daughters would be good friends.
• 23:42
  Yeah, I. Think daughters are just like
• 23:43
  that to their moms? So it's like very.
• 23:46
  Universal, OH. Man, Yeah, yeah.
• 23:49
  Last night I got AI closed the door already out of the room.
• 23:53
  And then she's like, mom, mom come back.
• 23:55
  And I'm like, yeah, sometimes you're mean and sometimes you're
• 23:57
  nice. And I was like, OK, I'm like, so
• 24:01
  is everyone OK? Good night.
• 24:03
  Yeah, yeah. They're so.
• 24:07
  Yeah, just like, matter of fact, total honest.
• 24:10
  Yeah, I know. That's why I always say it gave
• 24:12
  birth to my inner critic, because now she's just like
• 24:15
  outside of me being like. Yeah, yeah.
• 24:20
  All the time. The other day she goes, she at
• 24:23
  the end of the year, they made those things like when I grow
• 24:25
  up, I want to be and her said a veterinarian And I was like, oh,
• 24:29
  I didn't know you wanted to be a veterinarian.
• 24:31
  I've never heard you say that before.
• 24:33
  And she's like, oh, I just wrote that because they made me write
• 24:35
  something. And I was like, OK.
• 24:37
  And then she goes, I just want to be a normal person like you.
• 24:41
  And I'm like. What do you think I?
• 24:43
  Do like you she's. Like I just want to do like
• 24:46
  nothing like you. And I'm like, I do so much.
• 24:51
  You don't even know. And I was just like, OK.
• 24:56
  I just want to like hang out. I mean, just like you.
• 24:59
  Oh my God, that's so fun. How that is.
• 25:02
  Yeah. That's pretty brutal.
• 25:04
  Yeah. So I imagine there is a lot of
• 25:06
  like, yeah, self work, self-care that you do.
• 25:10
  I'm finding I'm just at the beginning of it.
• 25:12
  So I'm like, I'm going to have to be like, why?
• 25:15
  Yeah. Like to try and let things, he's
• 25:19
  like, oh, right, you're a tiny human.
• 25:22
  And like, don't necessarily mean all of these things to be so
• 25:27
  horrid. But yeah, a lot of self.
• 25:32
  I think if you come back, you have to, like, talk to your
• 25:34
  husband. Yeah.
• 25:34
  You talk to me. Yeah.
• 25:36
  I feel like I can talk you through this one, except on all
• 25:39
  like a lot of it's where I feel like the they, I had a
• 25:44
  realization when she was like 1 1/2 and I like sat on the floor
• 25:48
  and so thrilling at the airport 'cause we're at the airport and
• 25:51
  I like lost my mind. I just sob cried on the floor
• 25:54
  and I was like, oh, girls and their moms are always like this.
• 26:00
  And I was like, this is going to be the rest of our lives.
• 26:04
  We are going to be like this. Like I love her so much.
• 26:07
  I know she loves me so much. She's so mean to me and I'm
• 26:13
  like, OK, it like that's just what it is.
• 26:17
  So you just got a armor up? Yeah, yeah, I like to try and
• 26:22
  remember, like, see the things that are like, oh, when they
• 26:27
  come home and they're monsters, it's because it's they're like
• 26:31
  safe space. And I'm like sure, sure, OK, OK.
• 26:35
  But I'm like, she's brutal. She's mean because she loves.
• 26:39
  Yeah. This is such an abusive
• 26:41
  relationship. It's the most abusive
• 26:43
  relationship you'll ever be in, I feel.
• 26:45
  Yeah, it's pretty brutal. It's the same as like it's the
• 26:48
  same as acting though, where it's like you just keep getting
• 26:51
  rejected and rejected and we just keep, we just keep doing.
• 26:55
  Oh yeah, I feel like it makes acting rejection like such a
• 26:58
  joke. So you're just like you came
• 27:00
  whatever you don't want me. Cool.
• 27:01
  Yeah, I like a. Million other things I love to
• 27:04
  be doing right now. So like, that's fine.
• 27:07
  Yeah, I'll see you never because it doesn't even matter.
• 27:12
  Did you, did you always know that you wanted kids or did that
• 27:17
  like come later in life or? I think I always knew I would
• 27:20
  have kids. Like I saw myself having kids,
• 27:23
  but I never have the like, I want kids right now.
• 27:26
  So I think I had to kind of like just have that.
• 27:31
  Yeah. Logistically you're like time
• 27:33
  wise, it's it's the time, yeah. And it's the and also the second
• 27:37
  one a lot. Like I knew I wanted a second
• 27:39
  kid and then. Yeah.
• 27:41
  How did you know you wanted a second kid?
• 27:43
  I keep asking people that because I obviously only have
• 27:46
  one and I'm so back and forth, but everyone who has more than
• 27:51
  one is like, I just knew because I'm like, OK, I don't know.
• 27:54
  So maybe I just like, don't want another one.
• 27:56
  I can't figure it out. Yeah, I feel like.
• 28:00
  Do you come from siblings? I do.
• 28:02
  That's why I have two older sisters and I'm like, I would
• 28:05
  love her to have a sister. So, well, I.
• 28:08
  Can't choose that, but you know a sibling.
• 28:10
  I thought I mean I have. Three younger sisters and then I
• 28:13
  have a girl and then so when I had a boy, I was like.
• 28:15
  What am I going to do but she's. So nice.
• 28:19
  I I don't know, I just felt like, I think my husband and I
• 28:25
  both felt like we like our family, like wasn't done like we
• 28:34
  love and I'll be so our daughter, like we love her so
• 28:39
  much, but I think that not, but, but we were let.
• 28:42
  I wanted her to have a sibling. I really wanted her to have a
• 28:45
  sibling. And I, I think that was and we
• 28:49
  waited kind of a while after having her because we had her
• 28:52
  right before the pandemic and then the world was shut down.
• 28:55
  And then I feel like when it was probably more normal timing to
• 29:00
  have a second kid, I felt like I'd just gotten my life back and
• 29:05
  the world had opened up and I was like, I don't feel ready to
• 29:08
  be pregnant. And like, I don't, I don't feel
• 29:11
  good when I'm pregnant. I'm just like, not the best
• 29:14
  pregnant person, but I so I just like wasn't I just like didn't
• 29:20
  feel ready to have another kid And then all of a sudden I kind
• 29:23
  of did. I was like, OK, if we're gonna I
• 29:26
  kind of did same when I I think she and then 'cause I was like,
• 29:30
  I want her to have a sibling and.
• 29:36
  Then I thought, I think I heard the.
• 29:37
  Clock OK, check in. I heard it I.
• 29:43
  Did not OK great I didn't get to collect so we'll just great.
• 29:47
  Caught me being an idiot. I mean, I feel like that's great
• 29:49
  that you can hear that well. I well, I didn't.
• 29:52
  I made it up. I was like, I didn't air the air
• 29:56
  conditioning. No, I wanted as I wanted her to
• 30:02
  have a sibling. And then I was like, this is
• 30:05
  when I have to do it and I felt like I was doing it for her.
• 30:08
  I got pregnant. I was so incredibly sick.
• 30:12
  I was, and I and I was really sick with Penelope too, but I
• 30:17
  was really depressed about it, like about how sick I was and
• 30:23
  about how like I was kind of spiraling downward into a way of
• 30:26
  like, I can't, this is going to be a long time.
• 30:29
  I have so much longer of being like this and this is so hard.
• 30:33
  And and then I just like felt like not but I don't know, I
• 30:40
  kind of felt like something was off.
• 30:42
  And then I went in for like the heartbeat thing and I had had
• 30:46
  like a this thing called a blighted ovum where like there's
• 30:49
  no fetus, but your body still thinks you're pregnant.
• 30:55
  So like I basically had to have AI had to have ADNC to like that
• 31:01
  there was nothing there except like a stack and you're
• 31:04
  producing all the hormones as if you're pregnant, but you're.
• 31:07
  Not how long was that for you? It was.
• 31:09
  Like 9 weeks, it was early, but I was so sick for like a while
• 31:16
  for like, I mean, because you don't really know till 3 or 4
• 31:20
  weeks. I was probably, I was just sick,
• 31:22
  but I was like spiraling like depressed.
• 31:24
  I was like a little worried about myself in a way.
• 31:28
  I was like Oh my God, I don't know how to how I'm going to do
• 31:32
  this for so long and all the like.
• 31:34
  Trauma of my. Pregnancy with my daughter
• 31:36
  started to come up for me and I was like I think I had her and
• 31:40
  was so instantly obsessed with her that I blacked out how hard
• 31:44
  it was for me to be pregnant. Like I had this thing happen
• 31:47
  where I couldn't walk at the end and I was like like that was so
• 31:49
  messed up and I literally couldn't walk at all.
• 31:52
  And I, I just started freaking out and I was like, Oh my gosh,
• 31:59
  I don't know if I can do this. So then when I went in, I kind
• 32:02
  of knew. Like I remember the night before
• 32:04
  I went in, I was like, maybe if I do some woo woo stuff and like
• 32:07
  talk to this baby and I'm like, hey, we can do this, blah, blah,
• 32:10
  blah. And I started to do that.
• 32:12
  And then I I said out loud to myself, which is weird.
• 32:15
  I'm not somebody who like talks out loud to myself.
• 32:19
  There's probably nothing in there.
• 32:20
  Anyways, and I was like, it was weird.
• 32:22
  And then I went the next day and they're like, we don't see
• 32:24
  anything. And my doctor.
• 32:25
  Was like so sad for me. I could see and I kind of was
• 32:29
  like, like I think I knew that. That's so wild.
• 32:36
  Yeah, and then I so then I went I like lost it like sobbing
• 32:41
  because I was like, I don't know if I can do this again.
• 32:44
  And I was like doing it for her. And I was like, I'm doing this
• 32:48
  so she can have a sibling. And I just was like, my husband
• 32:53
  and I talked about it a bit and I talked to my sister and a
• 32:55
  friend and it was like, she doesn't have to have a sibling
• 33:01
  like I don't have. She doesn't.
• 33:02
  She's fine. Actually, she probably would
• 33:04
  have been happier if she would. Have like having a sibling
• 33:09
  really. F up their lives.
• 33:11
  I don't know what you're allowed to say on your project, so it's
• 33:15
  not going to be an easy ride for them.
• 33:17
  So you're not. Like in the long run, you're
• 33:21
  doing him a favor maybe, but who knows?
• 33:23
  And. I was like, OK, so if it's if
• 33:26
  I'm not doing it for her and then I, I think I also wanted
• 33:30
  this second kid to be her. Like I was doing weird stuff to
• 33:34
  be like, OK, what was her? I acted like this when I was
• 33:37
  pregnant and this is what? I did and like.
• 33:39
  I if I want this kid to be like her, I should.
• 33:41
  I was doing weird, you know, superstitious stuff, which I'm
• 33:46
  also not that person. And then when I like had that
• 33:52
  happen, I realized, really realized I was like, oh, I think
• 33:58
  I want to see another person become a person, like a whole
• 34:02
  different person become a person.
• 34:05
  And then I felt much more like I had a reason why I was having
• 34:11
  another kid. And then I like, before I got
• 34:14
  pregnant again the second time when I was like, I'm going to
• 34:18
  figure out if, like, an acupuncturist could help me or
• 34:20
  like, what things I could do to help me, like how I could eat
• 34:23
  differently or whatever. None of it actually helped.
• 34:25
  But mentally, yeah, mentally I feel like I went in in a much
• 34:30
  better place. Yeah.
• 34:31
  But it was crazy from like when I was pregnant with a
• 34:36
  miscarriage situation, I had AD and C and I was feeling like
• 34:41
  really bad and like, really like down in my head.
• 34:45
  Yeah. Woke up the next day after it
• 34:47
  and was like, I mean, literally right after it, even though it
• 34:49
  was groggy, I was like, Oh my God.
• 34:51
  I feel totally like myself again.
• 34:53
  I felt like, wow, like 100 lbs had been taken off of my back.
• 34:57
  I was like, everything's so easy to do.
• 34:59
  Yeah. And I was like, hormones are
• 35:02
  wow. Crazy.
• 35:04
  That's yeah. Well, it sounds like I feel like
• 35:09
  a lot of the things that you were thinking about, like she
• 35:11
  just, I'm having this, I'm having this.
• 35:14
  I want her to have a sibling. Not for me.
• 35:16
  I feel like that's like a lot of where I'm at.
• 35:18
  But then being like, Oh yeah, like to see another human or
• 35:22
  like the whole I want her again. Like, yeah, I'm like, I totally.
• 35:28
  I know. And I feel like having a boy
• 35:30
  who's like just like his total own thing.
• 35:35
  It's so they're very similar in some ways, but like so different
• 35:39
  and it's really fun and funny to see like a different person.
• 35:46
  I feel like it probably worked out that it's a boy.
• 35:49
  I think so, yeah. It did.
• 35:51
  It's. Fun.
• 35:52
  Especially for my husband, who feels trapped in the middle of
• 35:54
  me and my daughter. He's like, Oh my God, my
• 35:58
  goodness, I couldn't have done another one of you guys.
• 36:00
  It's. Crazy.
• 36:04
  Well, obviously your kids are young and I guess your daughter
• 36:07
  just thinks you don't do anything.
• 36:11
  But like, I mean, but does she now like now that she's a little
• 36:19
  bit older at least like I think. Kind of, no?
• 36:22
  Like I. Think she she think you're funny
• 36:24
  at all? Probably.
• 36:26
  Not recently. She she's like you're so funny,
• 36:28
  mom, you're so funny. But she I have like a very like
• 36:30
  mean girl dark. Dry sense of humor, Yeah.
• 36:33
  And I feel like she. My husband's really silly and
• 36:37
  funny, so she's thought he's so funny for a long time and I'm
• 36:40
  always like justly. Just wait till you get a little.
• 36:43
  Older. You just don't understand my
• 36:45
  jokes. Yeah, you'll get them.
• 36:47
  Yeah, but I think she does. But she sounds so.
• 36:50
  Funny, you know, So she likes to make people laugh and stuff.
• 36:54
  Yeah, How was the so how was she when you had your son?
• 37:00
  Was she like Get? This.
• 37:02
  Thing out of here or was she? The hardest thing I've ever done
• 37:06
  entirely. Tell me more.
• 37:09
  Tell me all. Whenever I see somebody pregnant
• 37:13
  with their second kid, I'm like. Just like I, I had a pretty easy
• 37:22
  time the first time. I was like, this is not that
• 37:24
  hard. It's not that I was like
• 37:26
  sometimes she's like a lot, but like, I don't know, like I
• 37:32
  wasn't really tired the first time I had.
• 37:34
  I don't know, I just like. Well, that's what I'm thinking
• 37:36
  now 'cause I'm like 1. I mean, not that one is like the
• 37:39
  easiest thing, but yeah, no, it's easier than two.
• 37:42
  That's for. Sure.
• 37:43
  Yeah. And and then I feel like having
• 37:47
  2 was so hard. She was, she had a really rough
• 37:50
  transition to it. She loves him.
• 37:53
  She always took it out on us, though, which was like, you're
• 37:57
  not my parents. I can do whatever I want to do,
• 38:00
  like running away from us. And she was born when I was
• 38:03
  born. So it's like, you know, a bigger
• 38:06
  person to like constrain. I remember I tried to, I tried
• 38:10
  to do like I still, we still try and like do alone things with
• 38:13
  her because she's in such a different life phase than he is.
• 38:17
  So she can do so much more than he can do.
• 38:20
  Yeah, that's. Hard.
• 38:21
  So I try and do things just alone with her as much as I can.
• 38:26
  But you know, it's so hard. I was breastfeeding him.
• 38:30
  She's like was very into crafting at that point.
• 38:32
  And it was always like, can you call glue gun this for me while
• 38:35
  I was like breastfeeding a baby? And I'm like, yeah, sure, I can
• 38:38
  do that. And then?
• 38:39
  I kinda. I remember one time I had to
• 38:42
  put. A booster seat in the car while
• 38:44
  breastfeeding a baby and put my daughter in the car.
• 38:48
  And I was like, the fact that I can do this is psychotic.
• 38:53
  You're like, I'm amazing. I you just like, you know,
• 38:58
  sometimes you just like have to do the thing and you have no
• 39:01
  choice. It feels like that every second
• 39:05
  of every day. Feels like dad, two kids, I have
• 39:09
  to do that right now okay because I have to do that right
• 39:12
  now it's like how am I going to do this yeah so.
• 39:16
  Yeah. And with the time, the, the age
• 39:19
  difference, I was thinking about that too, because my daughter is
• 39:21
  3, so she would probably be, you know, at least the same age.
• 39:26
  But the word's like, oh, if we want to when they're a little
• 39:29
  bit older, take them to a movie. It's like, wait, one can see
• 39:32
  PG13 now and one can't like that type of thing.
• 39:36
  I'm like. When they're a bit older, people
• 39:37
  will be able to see PG. 13 and they're like no one can hang out
• 39:41
  with me anyway. The second one just will see
• 39:43
  everything, it's just. What's gonna happen?
• 39:46
  I feel like, yeah, it's so funny.
• 39:48
  Like the things that my son has seen versus my daughter, like he
• 39:53
  just because when my daughter was born, we didn't even have
• 39:56
  toys in the house. We didn't have like any kid
• 39:59
  things in the house. And she has friends.
• 40:03
  He's around kids all the time. There's stuff everywhere in the
• 40:07
  house that he can like play with.
• 40:10
  She watches a show and he'll like walk by and like see it.
• 40:12
  And I feel like I was like no screens for her and him.
• 40:15
  I'm just like. No, You like this.
• 40:17
  You want to sit and watch this? For how long can you?
• 40:19
  How long can you last? How long?
• 40:20
  Yeah. What's your intention?
• 40:22
  Yes. Like no.
• 40:24
  Timer cut off. I'm just like trying to stretch
• 40:27
  his TV watching a little bit. Oh yeah, yeah, I feel that.
• 40:33
  What do you feel like? Because like, like you said,
• 40:36
  there are stand up comedians who have kids, but especially being
• 40:40
  a woman and with younger kids, do you feel like there's any
• 40:44
  like miss not misunderstandings. What's the word?
• 40:49
  But I guess like miss like a way that someone would.
• 40:55
  Yeah, I guess misunderstandings of like what they think being a
• 40:58
  stand up mom would be like. I don't know.
• 41:03
  I mean, I think the thing that's cool about stand up is there's
• 41:05
  so many ways to do it. So like everybody's just telling
• 41:08
  their own perspective on the world.
• 41:12
  So there are other moms with small kids too.
• 41:17
  And I think that I think it's nice though, because I don't
• 41:23
  think that moms with small kids or just like people in
• 41:29
  relationships, like, you know, married people are, there's like
• 41:33
  a a bit of AI don't think they always have like a stand up
• 41:39
  voice that they resonate with always.
• 41:42
  So I sometimes I'll be in a glove or somewhere or be at a
• 41:48
  show. And I'm like, I'm so different
• 41:49
  from everybody on this. Lineup.
• 41:51
  But then I'm like, yeah. And that's good because there's
• 41:54
  so many people who are having a similar experience to me.
• 41:58
  Who like the people that are right, my right audience are
• 42:02
  going to find me and the people who are there right audience are
• 42:05
  going to find them. And like that's what I like
• 42:08
  about stand up is there's a lot of you know, everybody can have
• 42:15
  be represented in some way. So I'm like somebody is going to
• 42:18
  resonate with my experience in some way.
• 42:21
  Well, I definitely resonate and. I'm.
• 42:23
  So glad I found you because it's quite hilarious.
• 42:27
  OK, we're gonna do some lightning.
• 42:28
  Round round. Two questions.
• 42:30
  OK, Coffee or wine? Coffee.
• 42:35
  Yeah, Dame, What's scarier, you're like a Heckler at a stand
• 42:41
  up or your daughter? Well, yeah, Heckler, yeah.
• 42:48
  Just because my daughter, I know where it's coming for.
• 42:53
  I do like brace for impact with my daughter.
• 42:55
  You know, that feeling of like, all right, here we go.
• 42:57
  What's happening? What mood is she gonna be in?
• 43:00
  But I think I don't know. I'm probably a Heckler just
• 43:03
  because you don't know who they are, what, where they're coming
• 43:06
  from. That's true.
• 43:09
  If you had five minutes alone, what would you do?
• 43:15
  Probably work out. Just like that's just, that's
• 43:19
  insane. I might do some crunches.
• 43:23
  Because what if you said to Yeah, I'm like if I said I'll
• 43:27
  fall asleep. I'm like, I would like to like
• 43:30
  do that's like the one thing I'm like, I would like to do like 10
• 43:34
  minutes of toning because I feel like I, I can't carry my
• 43:40
  groceries just. Like a little bit like, I feel
• 43:43
  myself being like shrilling up. I'm like.
• 43:46
  That well, now I have twice the groceries too.
• 43:48
  Yeah, but I just feel like that's the first thing that goes
• 43:51
  out the window. So maybe that.
• 43:53
  That's true. Or maybe.
• 43:54
  I just like sit. Sometimes I like to just sit in
• 43:56
  my car and like, sit there. I do that too.
• 44:01
  When you like come home, you know your kids are upstairs or
• 44:05
  inside and you're like just like 5 more minutes, just sit here.
• 44:10
  I do it even when everybody's asleep.
• 44:12
  I think I don't like my least favorite thing of the day is
• 44:16
  getting ready for a bed. It's like the only place I
• 44:21
  procrastinate in my life is that so I'll sit in my car so I don't
• 44:26
  have to like, go wash my face. And brush my teeth and put on
• 44:29
  all my face. Stuff and I'm just like.
• 44:32
  I think my body's too tired to move anymore by that point and
• 44:36
  I'm like, I don't want to have to do that right now.
• 44:38
  I've. Started like trying to set
• 44:40
  everything out before I. Leave so it's all set up for me.
• 44:43
  Like I've tried everything but I can't.
• 44:45
  I can't really figure it out. Well, yeah, I guess when you're
• 44:47
  like that tired or coming home late, yeah, that makes that
• 44:51
  makes. Me like I wish I could just be
• 44:53
  like a. College girl who just like
• 44:54
  passes out in her clothes and makeup again.
• 44:56
  I just like wake up the next day still in my clothes.
• 45:00
  Just fix it up a little bit again.
• 45:03
  Which of your kids? I feel like I know this.
• 45:06
  Which of your kids is more likely to grow up and roast you
• 45:09
  on stage? I don't.
• 45:13
  I mean, I guess my son doesn't really talk.
• 45:15
  Yeah, I was going. To say, I guess.
• 45:16
  You don't know. We'll see, but I would think my
• 45:19
  daughter would probably be good at that.
• 45:25
  What's the last thing that one of your kids ruined that you
• 45:29
  actually cared about? My kids don't really want things
• 45:35
  they don't. I'm trying to think what was
• 45:39
  ruined. I'm a little OCD and I think
• 45:43
  I've definitely passed it on to my daughter.
• 45:45
  So she's also like, I think she takes good.
• 45:48
  Care of her. Stuff.
• 45:52
  Oh gosh, somebody has to have ruined something.
• 45:55
  Maybe just your mood. One of my friends sat in one of
• 45:59
  my kids pull chairs and broke that.
• 46:03
  So a kid thing got ruined by an adult That's.
• 46:07
  What happens to my house? It's like we told when we moved
• 46:11
  into this house. We're like, OK, we.
• 46:12
  Don't need to kid proof, we need to adult proof because our
• 46:17
  friends will spill wine. They will.
• 46:18
  Break the kids just like all of our furniture is like, keep the
• 46:23
  kids stuff safe. Yeah, yeah.
• 46:26
  OK, so this or that target tantrum or a joke bomb on stage.
• 46:34
  I guess, I guess it depends on what stage I'm on I think.
• 46:44
  I guess I feel like I would rather have, I don't know, Both
• 46:51
  things happen, have to happen, you know, both things have to
• 46:54
  happen inevitably for you to get any better at anything.
• 46:58
  So. I feel like maybe the joke bomb.
• 47:02
  I had a really bad time once when my daughter had a public
• 47:06
  tantrum at gymnastics. And we were there and I was
• 47:10
  trying to do something alone with her because the baby had
• 47:12
  just been born and I was breastfeeding.
• 47:15
  So it was on a strict time schedule.
• 47:16
  And I was like, I'm going to take her alone.
• 47:18
  I set it all up to like, this will be a fun thing we do.
• 47:21
  And we get there. She's like coming in and out of
• 47:24
  her class. And I told her I was like, she
• 47:26
  came up to me and I was like, listen, you cannot be a
• 47:29
  distraction to your class because all these other people
• 47:31
  are trying to learn and paid to be here.
• 47:33
  So if you can't stay in your class, we have to leave.
• 47:36
  Either go back in your class and stay or we leave.
• 47:39
  And she's like, fine. And she walks, there's like 100
• 47:42
  parents in the bleachers at this gymnastics place.
• 47:44
  She walks like all the way down the bleachers.
• 47:47
  And then she turns around and looks at me like.
• 47:50
  You're way far away from me and. She goes don't talk to me like
• 47:53
  that and like every. Single parent had turned and
• 47:57
  looked at me and I had. To think, OK, I guess I have to
• 48:00
  parent my child now in public, in front of everybody and I.
• 48:05
  Wanted to just be like these kids.
• 48:08
  How embarrassing for them just. Like I mean parenting in public
• 48:13
  I think. Parenting in public is.
• 48:15
  Harder, yeah. It's really hard because
• 48:18
  everybody's like, judging how you're doing it, being like, I'm
• 48:23
  so glad that's not me. Like you can't not have thoughts
• 48:26
  about how somebody's doing it. Yeah.
• 48:28
  That's true. I just chase her around.
• 48:31
  To gymnastics gym, grab her and take her out and like in front
• 48:35
  of 100. People, I always like to think
• 48:38
  I'm like, man, we've all been there, like.
• 48:42
  Yeah, that. And then I was putting her in
• 48:44
  the car and she was losing it. And this other mom stopped, like
• 48:47
  pulled up behind me and I thought she was gonna be like,
• 48:50
  are you kidnapping that child or do you need help?
• 48:54
  And I was, she's like, excuse me, Excuse me?
• 48:55
  I'm like, yeah. And she's like, are you leaving?
• 49:00
  And I was like, yeah, but it's gonna be a minute, yeah.
• 49:02
  Like, Oh my God, do you? Not see what's happening here.
• 49:05
  So yeah, I guess target tantrum I would not like.
• 49:09
  Yeah, APTA meeting or an industry meeting probably.
• 49:17
  An industry meeting. Yeah, maybe.
• 49:22
  Well, I guess I can guess this. Would you rather sleep or
• 49:24
  scroll? Or which would which?
• 49:27
  Would you do? What would you rather have a
• 49:32
  Disney song on repeat or have to do small talk like at a
• 49:38
  networking situation? Probably small talk, especially
• 49:46
  if it was like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
• 49:48
  I would rather have small talk. Any.
• 49:51
  Yeah, that is the worst show ever.
• 49:53
  Yeah, hot dog song in my head always.
• 49:57
  No, If your life was a sitcom now, what do you think you would
• 50:02
  title it? I've been joking that I want to
• 50:09
  title my first special aunt Brett because my daughter told
• 50:13
  me that so I feel like that would be a good title.
• 50:15
  She told me hey mom, I know this can't happen but I just wish it
• 50:20
  could but I know it can. Could you?
• 50:24
  I really wish that my teacher could be my mom.
• 50:27
  And I was like, well, I wouldn't be your mom then, and that'd be
• 50:31
  so sad. And she's like, yeah, but you
• 50:33
  could be my aunt. And I was like, I don't want to
• 50:36
  be your aunt. And.
• 50:37
  She's she's like. No, but I would call you Aunt
• 50:39
  Brittany. And I was like, I don't want to.
• 50:43
  I keep joking that I'm just the Aunt Brit around the house.
• 50:47
  Aunt Brit. Love it.
• 50:48
  Oh my God that's funny. OK if you could give advice to a
• 50:55
  stand up comedian who is thinking or actress all of the
• 50:59
  above Who is thinking of becoming a mom?
• 51:03
  Oh my gosh, I feel like I'm the person that everybody asks me to
• 51:06
  coffee when they're thinking of having a kid.
• 51:09
  I get so many to have friends or be like, hey like can we get?
• 51:14
  Coffee sometime? Would love to ask.
• 51:15
  You some stuff and I'm like I know exactly what you want to
• 51:17
  ask. Me like I feel like.
• 51:19
  I have a kid. I've become like the cult leader
• 51:23
  for like moms, like for stand ups, having kids.
• 51:29
  I think that you just have to know it's going to be hard and
• 51:35
  just do it anyways because you'll be happier on the other
• 51:39
  side. There's light at the end of the
• 51:41
  tunnel. I also have a really supportive
• 51:44
  partner, so I'm lucky that I have somebody who, like, helps
• 51:49
  me balance all of the things, but it's also gonna be really
• 51:53
  hard. Yeah.
• 51:54
  So I guess it's gonna be hard. Love it.
• 52:00
  Well, I mean this, it goes by so fast.
• 52:03
  I feel like I could just like, yeah, this is so.
• 52:05
  Fun. But thank you so much for.
• 52:07
  Being. Here and oh wait, tell us about
• 52:09
  your new podcast. Oh, I have a new podcast.
• 52:12
  It's coming out October 5th, I believe.
• 52:16
  It's called Full out and I was a competitive college cheerleader,
• 52:20
  which I'm sure is a shock looking at me.
• 52:23
  So like, I was really big. Into cheerleading.
• 52:26
  And by the podcast is I interviewed guests about
• 52:30
  something they went full out into before they but like before
• 52:36
  doing whatever they do now and like how it affects what they do
• 52:38
  now or it doesn't. So it's a lot of people in
• 52:41
  entertainment who have like some pre life, like either like a
• 52:44
  track star or like, yeah, you know, that have a teen dad on
• 52:48
  there like, and it's it's interesting.
• 52:50
  It's like I it's stories that people normally don't talk
• 52:54
  about. It's like they're part of their
• 52:55
  life that they haven't shared much about.
• 52:57
  So I love. That I'm so excited.
• 53:00
  Yeah, I'm excited. I've been having a lot of fun
• 53:02
  doing it. I think it's been really, it's
• 53:06
  cool to hear people. I my favorite thing is when
• 53:09
  people are like, I've never actually said this before or
• 53:12
  told anybody this before, and I feel like that keeps happening
• 53:16
  on the. Like, OK, great.
• 53:18
  I love it. Tell us all about it.
• 53:21
  Yeah, Oh my God, that's so fun. Well, I'll be sure to make sure.
