00:00:48,757 --> 00:00:50,550
Thank you so much!

[cheering]

00:00:53,094 --> 00:00:54,429
Thank you!

10
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,935
Thank you, guys, so much!

11
00:01:01,603 --> 00:01:03,396
Thank you!

12
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:08,026
I so, so appreciate you guys being here.
It's been a rough couple of years.

13
00:01:08,109 --> 00:01:09,611
I got bangs at one point.

14
00:01:09,694 --> 00:01:12,072
- Shit got dark.
- [audience laughs]

15
00:01:12,155 --> 00:01:14,908
I didn't even want bangs.
I just needed people to check on me.

16
00:01:14,991 --> 00:01:16,785
And it works, by the way.

17
00:01:16,868 --> 00:01:18,244
You post a selfie in bangs,

18
00:01:18,328 --> 00:01:21,706
everybody's like, "Fire emoji.
You go, girl!" Then they text you, like,

19
00:01:21,790 --> 00:01:22,874
"You okay?"

20
00:01:22,957 --> 00:01:24,125
[audience laughs]

21
00:01:24,209 --> 00:01:26,753
Here's what I did. I got bangs

22
00:01:26,836 --> 00:01:28,088
and then two days later,

23
00:01:28,171 --> 00:01:31,716
- I did mushrooms for the first time.
- [audience laughs]

24
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,760
And as soon as I did those mushrooms,

25
00:01:33,843 --> 00:01:37,388
I was like, "I should've done these first.

26
00:01:37,472 --> 00:01:39,057
[audience laughs]

27
00:01:39,140 --> 00:01:42,811
Probably wouldn't have gotten these bangs
if I forgave myself, huh?"

28
00:01:42,894 --> 00:01:44,145
[audience laughs]

29
00:01:44,229 --> 00:01:47,899
But you know what? Having bangs
feels exactly like being on mushrooms.

30
00:01:47,982 --> 00:01:50,944
The whole time, you're just looking
at your friends, like, "Do I look weird?

31
00:01:51,027 --> 00:01:52,195
[audience laughs]

32
00:01:52,278 --> 00:01:54,906
You guys would tell me
if I looked weird, right? Is it…

33
00:01:54,989 --> 00:01:56,783
Is it bad different? Is it not good--

34
00:01:56,866 --> 00:01:59,077
You know what? I changed my mind.
I don't want to do it.

35
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,453
It's too late? It's already happening?

36
00:02:00,537 --> 00:02:02,497
Okay, no, I can be this person."

37
00:02:04,624 --> 00:02:07,460
I got back into therapy.
Anybody in therapy?

38
00:02:07,544 --> 00:02:10,004
[audience cheers]

39
00:02:10,088 --> 00:02:12,382
Mostly women. That's the problem.

40
00:02:12,465 --> 00:02:14,008
[audience laughs]

41
00:02:15,218 --> 00:02:16,594
It's very hard to stay in therapy.

42
00:02:16,678 --> 00:02:18,847
My old therapist told me
that when I get close to people,

43
00:02:18,930 --> 00:02:20,431
I have a tendency to self-sabotage.

44
00:02:20,515 --> 00:02:22,392
And I thought that was bullshit,

45
00:02:22,475 --> 00:02:23,893
so I ghosted her.

46
00:02:23,977 --> 00:02:25,687
- [audience laughs]
- And then…

47
00:02:25,770 --> 00:02:29,190
I finally went back
because I finally dated enough people

48
00:02:29,274 --> 00:02:33,486
who all gave me the exact same feedback
about my shitty personality.

49
00:02:33,570 --> 00:02:35,780
You know, that romantic quota you hit
where you're, like,

50
00:02:35,864 --> 00:02:39,325
- [laughing] "Uh-oh! Might be me!
- [audience laughs]

51
00:02:39,409 --> 00:02:42,787
Oh, the reviews are in and they are
[blows raspberry] unanimous.

52
00:02:42,871 --> 00:02:43,913
That's a bummer."

53
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:45,832
So after a really bad breakup
a few years ago,

54
00:02:45,915 --> 00:02:47,834
I finally took a long hard look at myself

55
00:02:47,917 --> 00:02:52,213
and said, "Okay, Taylor, five out of five
dudes all think that in fights,

56
00:02:52,297 --> 00:02:55,300
you behave like a raccoon
trapped in a trash bag."

57
00:02:55,383 --> 00:02:59,178
[audience laughs]

58
00:02:59,262 --> 00:03:02,140
"So maybe it's time to get some Klonopin

59
00:03:02,223 --> 00:03:04,434
or a rabies shot."

60
00:03:04,517 --> 00:03:06,394
[audience laughs]

61
00:03:06,477 --> 00:03:08,104
I am fully medicated now.

62
00:03:08,187 --> 00:03:10,106
Anybody else? Anti-depressants?

63
00:03:10,189 --> 00:03:12,650
- [audience cheers]
- Medication? Yeah.

64
00:03:12,734 --> 00:03:14,402
Nice. What are we on? Shout it out.

65
00:03:14,485 --> 00:03:16,487
[audience shouting indistinctly]

66
00:03:16,571 --> 00:03:19,324
Zoloft, Lexapro. Oh!

67
00:03:19,407 --> 00:03:23,119
- Look at us. Gang's all here!
- [audience laughs]

68
00:03:23,202 --> 00:03:25,538
Oh my God! I'm also on something.

69
00:03:25,622 --> 00:03:28,583
I would never say what,
that's very personal, but…

70
00:03:28,666 --> 00:03:30,668
[audience laughs]

71
00:03:30,752 --> 00:03:32,128
No, I'm kidding. I'm on a few things.

72
00:03:32,211 --> 00:03:34,923
I am on Klonopin as needed
for panic attacks.

73
00:03:35,006 --> 00:03:37,717
I'm so glad I have Klonopin now
because before

74
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,053
I had medication for it,
I would have panic attacks

75
00:03:40,136 --> 00:03:41,638
right when I had to be somewhere,

76
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:44,515
which is the worst time to get them
'cause then you just have to pinch

77
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:48,019
the panic attack off
like a shit you don't have time to take.

78
00:03:48,102 --> 00:03:49,771
[audience laughs]

79
00:03:49,854 --> 00:03:51,522
You know what I mean?
When you're, like, "Okay,

80
00:03:51,606 --> 00:03:53,858
I got 60% of that out of my system.

81
00:03:53,942 --> 00:03:55,568
[audience laughs]

82
00:03:55,652 --> 00:03:58,529
- I'm not done but I gotta go to work.
- [audience laughs]

83
00:03:58,613 --> 00:04:00,406
I will get to the other 40 later

84
00:04:00,490 --> 00:04:03,201
or I'll finish in the big stall at lunch
if no one's in there.

85
00:04:03,284 --> 00:04:07,038
[audience laughs]

86
00:04:07,705 --> 00:04:09,290
I got put on something else for sleep

87
00:04:09,374 --> 00:04:12,794
because I have night terrors.
There's no fun, casual way to say that.

88
00:04:12,877 --> 00:04:16,673
- [giggles] "Wake up screaming and…"
- [audience laughs]

89
00:04:16,756 --> 00:04:18,758
These sleeper time pills I got are great.

90
00:04:18,841 --> 00:04:20,134
They don't stop the nightmares

91
00:04:20,218 --> 00:04:22,887
but they do hold you down
while they're happening.

92
00:04:22,971 --> 00:04:24,472
[audience laughs]

93
00:04:24,555 --> 00:04:26,432
Which sounds bad but before,

94
00:04:26,516 --> 00:04:28,643
I'd wake up in the middle so afraid

95
00:04:28,726 --> 00:04:30,561
and now, I stay asleep

96
00:04:30,645 --> 00:04:34,691
- until the nightmare's natural conclusion,
- [audience laughs]

97
00:04:34,774 --> 00:04:37,694
- which provides you with some closure.
- [audience laughs]

98
00:04:37,777 --> 00:04:40,488
- You're like, "Oh, he stabs me at the end.
- [audience gasps]

99
00:04:40,571 --> 00:04:44,367
Okay, plot twist, M. Nightmare Shyamalan."

100
00:04:44,450 --> 00:04:45,868
[audience laughs]

101
00:04:47,620 --> 00:04:49,455
I thought I was on an anti-depressant.

102
00:04:49,539 --> 00:04:50,623
It turns out I'm not.

103
00:04:50,707 --> 00:04:53,042
It turns out I'm actually
on a mood stabilizer

104
00:04:53,126 --> 00:04:55,378
that they use as an anti-depressant.

105
00:04:55,461 --> 00:04:57,297
Fun fact about prescription drugs.

106
00:04:57,380 --> 00:05:00,675
Everything they prescribe, they actually
use for, like, four different things.

107
00:05:00,758 --> 00:05:04,470
So you don't really know what your deal is

108
00:05:04,554 --> 00:05:06,806
until you find a combo that works

109
00:05:06,889 --> 00:05:09,142
and then Google all your pills
by yourself.

110
00:05:09,225 --> 00:05:10,601
[audience laughs]

111
00:05:10,685 --> 00:05:13,021
So after years of trial and error,

112
00:05:13,104 --> 00:05:15,398
I finally found a combination of things
that worked for me,

113
00:05:15,481 --> 00:05:18,401
and six months ago, I decided to Google it
'cause what the hell.

114
00:05:18,484 --> 00:05:20,528
And it turns out
that everything I'm taking

115
00:05:20,611 --> 00:05:24,198
is primarily used for bipolar disorder.

116
00:05:24,282 --> 00:05:27,994
So I went back to my psychiatrist
and I was, like, "Hey.

117
00:05:28,077 --> 00:05:30,496
[audience laughs]

118
00:05:30,580 --> 00:05:32,290
Do we think…?"

119
00:05:32,373 --> 00:05:35,501
[audience laughs]

120
00:05:35,585 --> 00:05:38,254
And she was, like, "Oh! Yeah!"

121
00:05:38,338 --> 00:05:43,134
[audience laughs]

122
00:05:47,305 --> 00:05:50,892
And I was, like,
"Is this how you fucking tell people?"

123
00:05:50,975 --> 00:05:52,226
[audience laughs]

124
00:05:52,310 --> 00:05:55,063
And she's, like, "No, of course not.
We didn't know.

125
00:05:55,146 --> 00:05:56,355
I'm glad we figured it out."

126
00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:59,609
- And I was, like, "We?"
- [audience laughs]

127
00:05:59,692 --> 00:06:02,278
I said, "You really didn't know
that I was bipolar?" And she goes,

128
00:06:02,361 --> 00:06:04,947
"No, of course not. We thought
we were treating anxiety and depression."

129
00:06:05,031 --> 00:06:07,617
And I said, "Okay.
'Cause this kinda feels like

130
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:10,953
a putting your dog's medication
in cheese situation."

131
00:06:11,037 --> 00:06:14,290
[audience laughs]

132
00:06:16,375 --> 00:06:19,587
And I was, like, "I don't know how I feel
about this diagnosis." And she goes,

133
00:06:19,670 --> 00:06:22,131
"Well, if it makes you feel better,
you don't have to say,

134
00:06:22,215 --> 00:06:25,635
'I am bipolar.'
You can say, 'I have bipolar.'"

135
00:06:25,718 --> 00:06:27,470
- [audience chuckles]
- Which feels a lot like someone going,

136
00:06:27,553 --> 00:06:30,389
"I said you were being a bitch."

137
00:06:30,473 --> 00:06:33,643
[audience laughs]

138
00:06:39,774 --> 00:06:42,068
I'm so glad I know that I'm bipolar now.

139
00:06:42,151 --> 00:06:45,196
I mean, I have the right meds,
I got a mood ring, I'm handling it.

140
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,906
[audience laughs]

141
00:06:46,989 --> 00:06:49,742
But when I first found out,
it was a very tough pill to swallow.

142
00:06:49,826 --> 00:06:51,953
- And I've swallowed a lot of pills.
- [audience laughs]

143
00:06:52,036 --> 00:06:53,955
Because when you first find out
something like that,

144
00:06:54,038 --> 00:06:57,041
you're, like, "Oh man,
am I gonna tell anybody?

145
00:06:57,125 --> 00:06:59,001
Should I tell anybody?

146
00:06:59,085 --> 00:07:01,337
And if I do tell people,

147
00:07:01,420 --> 00:07:03,631
am I hot

148
00:07:03,714 --> 00:07:08,010
and/or talented enough
to be an inspiration?"

149
00:07:08,094 --> 00:07:11,389
[audience laughs]

150
00:07:11,472 --> 00:07:14,892
[audience claps, cheers]

151
00:07:14,976 --> 00:07:18,438
Like, if I have a thing
and someone else has that thing

152
00:07:18,521 --> 00:07:20,356
and they find out I have it too,

153
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,068
are they gonna feel good or bad
with that information?

154
00:07:24,152 --> 00:07:26,487
Because when I got diagnosed,
they started listing names.

155
00:07:26,571 --> 00:07:28,698
They were, like,
"You know who else is bipolar?

156
00:07:28,781 --> 00:07:30,450
Selena Gomez."

157
00:07:30,533 --> 00:07:31,409
And I was, like,

158
00:07:31,492 --> 00:07:34,370
- "That does make me feel better.
- [audience laughs]

159
00:07:34,454 --> 00:07:37,748
- She is very pretty.
- [audience laughs]

160
00:07:37,832 --> 00:07:39,542
Okay, I'll be bipolar."

161
00:07:39,625 --> 00:07:41,335
[audience laughs]

162
00:07:41,419 --> 00:07:42,587
I did not grow up

163
00:07:42,670 --> 00:07:45,214
in a household that was very, like,
mental health-conscious.

164
00:07:45,298 --> 00:07:46,382
Like, we were very religious.

165
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:50,094
I don't know if you've ever tried
to tell your conservative dad

166
00:07:50,178 --> 00:07:53,264
that you have a mental health issue.
It doesn't go great.

167
00:07:53,347 --> 00:07:56,100
When I was in high school,
I was like, "Dad, I think I'm depressed."

168
00:07:56,184 --> 00:07:59,353
And he was, like, "You just need some
protein. Get a scoop of peanut butter."

169
00:07:59,437 --> 00:08:00,897
[audience laughs]

170
00:08:00,980 --> 00:08:05,276
Yeah, there's a lot of dads out there just
white-knuckling it through life right now,

171
00:08:05,359 --> 00:08:09,447
clinging to a jar of chunky Jif
like it's the answer,

172
00:08:09,530 --> 00:08:11,908
just a buoy in the storm.

173
00:08:11,991 --> 00:08:15,620
- "It'll pass!"
- [audience laughs]

174
00:08:16,746 --> 00:08:19,790
The only mental health advice
my dad ever gave me

175
00:08:19,874 --> 00:08:21,584
is I was having panic attacks
in high school

176
00:08:21,667 --> 00:08:24,003
and I didn't know what they were
and I was very stressed out.

177
00:08:24,086 --> 00:08:24,962
And I was, like, "I don't know what to do.

178
00:08:25,046 --> 00:08:27,131
I don't know what to do when I feel
like this. I don't know what to do."

179
00:08:27,215 --> 00:08:29,425
And he goes, "Alright.

180
00:08:30,301 --> 00:08:34,972
All I can tell you
is that when you feel like this,

181
00:08:35,890 --> 00:08:40,311
get as far away from the people
you care about as possible…

182
00:08:40,394 --> 00:08:42,063
[audience laughs]

183
00:08:42,730 --> 00:08:45,816
until you feel different."

184
00:08:45,900 --> 00:08:49,570
Which is advice you give a werewolf, like…

185
00:08:49,654 --> 00:08:51,614
[audience laughs]

186
00:08:51,697 --> 00:08:55,326
"Just run into the woods
'til you're not a monster anymore.

187
00:08:55,409 --> 00:08:59,497
Don't let them see you change. They won't
accept you for what you truly are."

188
00:08:59,580 --> 00:09:00,831
[audience laughs]

189
00:09:03,042 --> 00:09:05,336
And I had friends who scared me too
when I was trying to get on medication.

190
00:09:05,419 --> 00:09:07,630
They were, like, "Ugh, I tried.
I tried anti-depressants.

191
00:09:07,713 --> 00:09:10,258
I didn't like how I felt on them.
I didn't feel like myself."

192
00:09:10,341 --> 00:09:13,469
And now that I'm on them, I'm, like,
"Yeah, me neither! It's the best."

193
00:09:13,553 --> 00:09:15,596
[audience laughs]

194
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:18,140
Okay? And I do feel like myself.

195
00:09:18,224 --> 00:09:20,685
I just feel like now someone's
sitting on me going,

196
00:09:20,768 --> 00:09:22,728
- "Shh!
- [audience laughs]

197
00:09:22,812 --> 00:09:26,107
Stop talking. You will ruin everything.
We are…

198
00:09:26,190 --> 00:09:27,441
We are trying to help you.

199
00:09:27,525 --> 00:09:29,944
You'd be married right now
if you just shut the hell up.

200
00:09:30,027 --> 00:09:31,070
[audience laughs]

201
00:09:31,153 --> 00:09:34,657
Remember that? Yeah, us too.
We are trying to help you. Go to sleep.

202
00:09:34,740 --> 00:09:36,576
Choose a different adventure."

203
00:09:36,659 --> 00:09:40,288
[audience laughs]

204
00:09:42,498 --> 00:09:45,084
And they warn you about the side effects
when you get on medication.

205
00:09:45,167 --> 00:09:47,420
They go, "You know,
your sex drive might go down."

206
00:09:47,503 --> 00:09:50,715
And I'll be honest, I have experienced
that since I got on medication,

207
00:09:50,798 --> 00:09:54,218
but I can't tell if my sex drive is lower

208
00:09:54,302 --> 00:09:57,805
- or if my self-esteem is just higher now.
- [audience laughs]

209
00:09:57,888 --> 00:09:58,973
You know?

210
00:09:59,056 --> 00:10:01,851
[audience claps, cheers]

211
00:10:01,934 --> 00:10:06,897
It's, like, am I not in the mood, or do I
just not need the validation? Which is it?

212
00:10:06,981 --> 00:10:09,317
Because depression
will bring you to your knees

213
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,361
and you're, like, "While I'm down here,
might as well make someone feel good.

214
00:10:12,445 --> 00:10:17,658
- I… do not want to waste a trip."
- [audience whoops]

215
00:10:17,742 --> 00:10:20,369
If you're not laughing,
congrats on your serotonin.

216
00:10:20,453 --> 00:10:22,580
[audience laughs]

217
00:10:22,663 --> 00:10:25,875
And if you're, like, "What's serotonin?"
Don't worry. You have enough.

218
00:10:25,958 --> 00:10:28,252
[audience laughs]

219
00:10:32,923 --> 00:10:35,509
I wasn't sure
if I was gonna talk about it on stage,

220
00:10:35,593 --> 00:10:38,429
and then I needed new material and I was,
like, "Fire sale! Everything goes."

221
00:10:38,512 --> 00:10:41,223
[audience laughs]

222
00:10:42,433 --> 00:10:43,768
No, truthfully, I was surprised

223
00:10:43,851 --> 00:10:46,437
that I felt so bad about it
'cause I think I'm pretty open-minded.

224
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,689
And I don't think anybody should feel bad

225
00:10:48,773 --> 00:10:50,358
if they get diagnosed
with a mental illness

226
00:10:50,441 --> 00:10:52,360
'cause it's just information about you

227
00:10:52,443 --> 00:10:54,820
that helps you know
how to take better care of yourself.

228
00:10:54,904 --> 00:10:57,698
- [audience cheers]
- Yeah.

229
00:10:57,782 --> 00:10:59,450
Being bipolar,
there's nothing wrong with it.

230
00:10:59,533 --> 00:11:01,577
Being bipolar
is like not knowing how to swim.

231
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:02,953
It might be embarrassing to tell people

232
00:11:03,037 --> 00:11:05,331
and it might be hard
to take you certain places.

233
00:11:05,414 --> 00:11:07,249
[audience laughs]

234
00:11:07,333 --> 00:11:10,795
[audience continues laughing]

235
00:11:12,254 --> 00:11:13,964
But they have arm floaties.

236
00:11:14,048 --> 00:11:16,050
[audience laughs]

237
00:11:16,133 --> 00:11:19,220
And if you just take your arm floaties,

238
00:11:20,346 --> 00:11:22,264
you can go wherever the hell you want.

239
00:11:22,348 --> 00:11:23,724
[audience laughs]

240
00:11:23,808 --> 00:11:26,811
And… I know some of you are, like,
"But Taylor,

241
00:11:26,894 --> 00:11:28,687
what if people judge me
for taking arm floaties?"

242
00:11:28,771 --> 00:11:30,898
Well, those people don't care
if you live or die,

243
00:11:30,981 --> 00:11:32,691
- so maybe who cares?
- [audience whoops]

244
00:11:32,775 --> 00:11:35,528
Maybe fuck those people a little.

245
00:11:35,611 --> 00:11:37,780
- [audience cheers]
- I don't know.

246
00:11:44,036 --> 00:11:46,622
That being said,
you have to take your arm floaties

247
00:11:46,705 --> 00:11:47,748
[audience laughs]

248
00:11:47,832 --> 00:11:50,042
because it's not cool
to know you can't swim,

249
00:11:50,126 --> 00:11:51,085
go to the public pool anyway,

250
00:11:51,168 --> 00:11:53,879
and jump into the deep end,
making it everyone else's problem.

251
00:11:53,963 --> 00:11:55,423
[audience laughs]

252
00:11:55,506 --> 00:11:59,301
And you thrash around going, "I'm good!"
They're like, "You're literally drowning."

253
00:11:59,385 --> 00:12:01,804
And then someone nice
and handsome jumps in to help you.

254
00:12:01,887 --> 00:12:03,639
And you're, like,
"See? I'm fine. I can totally swim."

255
00:12:03,722 --> 00:12:07,184
And they're, like,
"No, you're holding him underwater.

256
00:12:07,268 --> 00:12:08,394
[audience laughs]

257
00:12:08,477 --> 00:12:11,856
- You turned Kevin into an arm floaty
- [audience laughs]

258
00:12:11,939 --> 00:12:15,484
and that's not a fair relationship
for Kevin."

259
00:12:15,568 --> 00:12:17,236
[audience laughs]

260
00:12:17,319 --> 00:12:19,363
Then someone floats by you on their back

261
00:12:19,447 --> 00:12:20,614
and you're, like, "What was that?"

262
00:12:20,698 --> 00:12:24,076
And they're, like, "Oh, that's someone
whose parents supported them in the pool…

263
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,955
[audience laughs]

264
00:12:28,038 --> 00:12:30,541
until they could be trusted not to die.

265
00:12:30,624 --> 00:12:31,667
[audience laughs]

266
00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:34,670
- Here are your arm floaties."
- [audience laughs]

267
00:12:35,796 --> 00:12:37,339
I was very nervous to tell friends of mine

268
00:12:37,423 --> 00:12:39,842
I was bipolar because I thought
they would think of me differently.

269
00:12:39,925 --> 00:12:42,094
And then I told all my friends
and nobody did

270
00:12:42,178 --> 00:12:44,180
and it was actually pretty insulting.

271
00:12:44,263 --> 00:12:46,765
[audience laughs]

272
00:12:46,849 --> 00:12:48,893
Because I've had friends tell me
they were bipolar

273
00:12:48,976 --> 00:12:51,270
and I was, like,
"What? You? You're kidding."

274
00:12:51,353 --> 00:12:52,897
And then I told my friends and they
were, like,

275
00:12:52,980 --> 00:12:55,774
- "That checks out. That's…
- [audience laughs]

276
00:12:55,858 --> 00:12:57,568
That connects a lot of dots for us."

277
00:12:57,651 --> 00:13:00,154
I told Dustin, one of my best friends
in the whole world,

278
00:13:00,237 --> 00:13:03,741
and he goes, "Yeah, your mental illness
was kinda like your middle name.

279
00:13:03,824 --> 00:13:07,411
I didn't know what it was
but I knew that you had one."

280
00:13:07,495 --> 00:13:11,290
[audience laughs]

281
00:13:14,210 --> 00:13:16,086
It's really good.

282
00:13:16,754 --> 00:13:20,257
That was not the feedback I kept getting
from romantic partners, by the way.

283
00:13:20,341 --> 00:13:23,677
- [audience laughs]
- That's not what finally made me get help.

284
00:13:23,761 --> 00:13:26,764
Every guy I've ever dated
has told me I have trust issues,

285
00:13:26,847 --> 00:13:29,683
which is something liars say
when you're on to them.

286
00:13:29,767 --> 00:13:32,520
[audience laughs]

287
00:13:34,271 --> 00:13:35,564
[in deep voice]
"You have trust issues, babe."

288
00:13:35,648 --> 00:13:38,317
You have
a hot co-worker and a locked phone, so…

289
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,278
[audience laughs]

290
00:13:43,197 --> 00:13:46,075
I have trust issues
but I earned them, okay?

291
00:13:46,158 --> 00:13:47,993
- [audience laughs]
- I absolutely earned them, like,

292
00:13:48,077 --> 00:13:50,704
I got cheated on in college.
My college boyfriend

293
00:13:50,788 --> 00:13:52,873
was sleeping with sex workers
behind my back,

294
00:13:52,957 --> 00:13:57,044
or prostitutes if you're old and don't
know that word's not okay to use anymore.

295
00:13:57,127 --> 00:13:59,713
Sometimes older crowd members
could get confused 'cause they're, like,

296
00:13:59,797 --> 00:14:01,423
"What is a sex worker?"

297
00:14:01,507 --> 00:14:04,093
"Is that what my granddaughter
does on Instagram?"

298
00:14:04,176 --> 00:14:05,344
- [audience laughs]
- And you're, like, "No, no, no,

299
00:14:05,427 --> 00:14:07,304
she's just hot. That's a FabFitFun box."

300
00:14:07,388 --> 00:14:09,348
- "That's a different…"
- [audience laughs]

301
00:14:09,431 --> 00:14:12,268
- "That's a different thing."
- [audience laughs]

302
00:14:13,602 --> 00:14:15,479
"Your granddaughter doesn't…
That's not a job."

303
00:14:15,563 --> 00:14:17,273
- "That's not real."
- [audience laughs]

304
00:14:17,356 --> 00:14:19,567
You can't say prostitute anymore.

305
00:14:19,650 --> 00:14:22,611
Calling a sex worker a prostitute
is like calling a comedian a clown.

306
00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:25,781
You're not technically wrong
but you are a fucking asshole, so…

307
00:14:25,865 --> 00:14:28,200
[audience laughs]

308
00:14:28,284 --> 00:14:30,703
But I told my therapist
I got cheated on like this

309
00:14:30,786 --> 00:14:32,663
and she didn't say
what I wanted her to say,

310
00:14:32,746 --> 00:14:35,082
which was, "Poor baby, sweetie,
this session is free."

311
00:14:35,165 --> 00:14:37,334
[audience laughs]

312
00:14:37,418 --> 00:14:41,589
Instead, she goes, "Well, you might be
a self-fulfilling prophecy."

313
00:14:41,672 --> 00:14:45,050
And I was like, "Oh!" And she's like,
"No, it's a bad thing." And I was like,

314
00:14:45,134 --> 00:14:46,552
[audience laughs]

315
00:14:46,635 --> 00:14:50,723
"Well, then could you say
I have self-fulfilling prophecy?

316
00:14:50,806 --> 00:14:52,391
[audience laughs]

317
00:14:52,474 --> 00:14:55,227
Is Selena Gomez
a self-fulfilling prophecy?"

318
00:14:55,311 --> 00:14:58,022
[audience laughs]

319
00:14:58,105 --> 00:15:00,316
And I said, "What does that mean,
I'm a self-fulfilling prophecy?"

320
00:15:00,399 --> 00:15:04,278
And she goes, "Well, sometimes
we expect someone to treat us poorly,

321
00:15:04,361 --> 00:15:07,781
so we treat them like they're going
to treat us poorly until they do."

322
00:15:07,865 --> 00:15:09,241
"You thought someone
was gonna cheat on you,

323
00:15:09,325 --> 00:15:11,535
so you treated them like
they were gonna cheat on you

324
00:15:11,619 --> 00:15:15,289
until they did cheat on you,
and then you were like, 'See?'"

325
00:15:15,372 --> 00:15:17,333
[audience chuckles]

326
00:15:17,416 --> 00:15:21,128
- And I was like, "Oh."
- [audience laughs]

327
00:15:21,211 --> 00:15:23,380
"So I'm a witch."

328
00:15:23,464 --> 00:15:25,299
[audience laughs]

329
00:15:25,382 --> 00:15:29,011
[audience claps, cheers]

330
00:15:30,429 --> 00:15:33,390
And she's like,
"Oh! So close. You're a bitch."

331
00:15:33,474 --> 00:15:35,059
- "You gotta…"
- [audience laughs]

332
00:15:35,142 --> 00:15:38,729
I'm like,
"Whatever. All I heard was Gryffindor!"

333
00:15:38,812 --> 00:15:42,983
[audience laughs]

334
00:15:43,067 --> 00:15:45,361
I am working on my trust issues.

335
00:15:45,444 --> 00:15:47,488
I was so much worse when I first started
seeing my therapist.

336
00:15:47,571 --> 00:15:49,365
I told her like first session, I was like,

337
00:15:49,448 --> 00:15:53,369
"The guy I'm dating keeps answering
my phone calls, 'Hey, beautiful?'"

338
00:15:53,452 --> 00:15:54,411
[audience laughs]

339
00:15:54,495 --> 00:15:57,998
And she's like, "So, what's the problem?"
I was like, "I mean, I don't know yet."

340
00:15:58,082 --> 00:16:00,376
[audience laughs]

341
00:16:00,459 --> 00:16:04,463
- "But when I find out who 'Beautiful' is…"
- [audience laughs]

342
00:16:04,546 --> 00:16:06,256
She's like,
"Do you think it might be you?"

343
00:16:06,340 --> 00:16:08,759
I was like, "I'm sorry.
I thought we were here to work."

344
00:16:08,842 --> 00:16:10,386
[audience laughs]

345
00:16:10,469 --> 00:16:12,554
I think I'm cute or whatever now,

346
00:16:12,638 --> 00:16:14,515
but I was an ugly kid with honest parents,

347
00:16:14,598 --> 00:16:17,977
and that shit stays in your bones,
alright?

348
00:16:18,060 --> 00:16:19,979
If you were an ugly kid
with honest parents,

349
00:16:20,062 --> 00:16:22,398
I don't care how attractive
you grow up to be,

350
00:16:22,481 --> 00:16:25,150
at any point, if someone's like,
"You look really nice today," you're like,

351
00:16:25,234 --> 00:16:27,778
"Yeah, whatever.
I know the Goddamn truth."

352
00:16:27,861 --> 00:16:29,530
[audience laughs]

353
00:16:29,613 --> 00:16:32,616
When I was ten, I said,
"Dad, am I pretty?"

354
00:16:32,700 --> 00:16:34,994
And his response was, "Look."

355
00:16:35,077 --> 00:16:37,830
[audience laughs]

356
00:16:37,913 --> 00:16:40,499
"I'm not the best looking guy, right?"

357
00:16:40,582 --> 00:16:43,669
"No, but I wake up
every morning and I try."

358
00:16:43,752 --> 00:16:44,920
- [audience laughs]
- "I…"

359
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:47,339
"I take a shower, I put on a nice suit,

360
00:16:47,423 --> 00:16:48,882
and I do okay!"

361
00:16:48,966 --> 00:16:50,551
[audience whoops]

362
00:16:50,634 --> 00:16:53,178
- And then he went to work.
- [audience laughs]

363
00:16:53,262 --> 00:16:55,848
- And I became a comedian, I guess.
- [audience laughs]

364
00:16:55,931 --> 00:16:58,726
That was his response
to his ten-year-old daughter.

365
00:16:58,809 --> 00:17:02,730
Just like, "You and me, potato face,
these were the cards we were dealt."

366
00:17:02,813 --> 00:17:04,106
"Get clean and match."

367
00:17:04,189 --> 00:17:07,693
"That's all you can do.
Don't sleep on wet hair. Can't do that."

368
00:17:07,776 --> 00:17:10,195
"Maybe wear a hat sometimes.
Cover up some of that head."

369
00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:11,905
"I'm sorry there's so much of it."

370
00:17:11,989 --> 00:17:13,532
[audience laughs]

371
00:17:14,116 --> 00:17:15,826
I think I'm pretty. I have a big head.

372
00:17:15,909 --> 00:17:19,413
I know I do 'cause every guy I've ever
dated has made a point to be like,

373
00:17:19,496 --> 00:17:23,125
- "I love your big head."
- [audience laughs]

374
00:17:23,208 --> 00:17:24,501
That's my favorite thing guys do

375
00:17:24,585 --> 00:17:27,046
when they compliment the thing
you hate most about yourself,

376
00:17:27,129 --> 00:17:29,465
they're like, "I love your soft arms."

377
00:17:29,548 --> 00:17:32,009
- You're like, "Okay.
- [audience laughs]

378
00:17:32,092 --> 00:17:34,178
Yeah? I love your weird balls.

379
00:17:34,261 --> 00:17:36,930
- How does it feel?
- [audience laughs]

380
00:17:37,014 --> 00:17:39,850
[audience cheers]

381
00:17:39,933 --> 00:17:43,103
- How does it feel to be accepted?"
- [audience chuckles]

382
00:17:44,021 --> 00:17:45,898
- I'm a nightmare to date.
- [audience laughs]

383
00:17:45,981 --> 00:17:48,442
Anything nice you do or say,
I'm just like, "Whatever."

384
00:17:48,525 --> 00:17:52,571
I dated a guy once who told me that
flirting with me was like punching water.

385
00:17:52,654 --> 00:17:53,947
[audience laughs]

386
00:17:54,031 --> 00:17:56,033
And I was like,
"Why? 'Cause it's pointless

387
00:17:56,116 --> 00:17:58,327
or 'cause you look stupid doing it?"

388
00:17:58,410 --> 00:17:59,828
[audience laughs]

389
00:17:59,912 --> 00:18:01,038
He's like, "Did you hear it?"

390
00:18:01,121 --> 00:18:03,457
- I'm like, "I heard it that time. Yeah."
- [audience laughs]

391
00:18:04,124 --> 00:18:07,711
And then he cheated on me,
so, you know, prophecy fulfilled!

392
00:18:07,795 --> 00:18:10,214
[audience laughs]

393
00:18:10,297 --> 00:18:12,925
I can't help it. At the beginning
of a relationship with a guy,

394
00:18:13,008 --> 00:18:15,677
I just assume anything nice he does

395
00:18:15,761 --> 00:18:18,639
is he a move he pulls on everybody

396
00:18:18,722 --> 00:18:23,185
and I'm not gonna fall
for your choreography, sir.

397
00:18:23,268 --> 00:18:25,562
- [audience laughs]
- I'm like, "Oh, is this…

398
00:18:25,646 --> 00:18:27,689
is this your move?

399
00:18:27,773 --> 00:18:30,234
- You open the car door for me on the date?
- [woman laughs]

400
00:18:30,317 --> 00:18:32,027
Is this like your move?

401
00:18:32,111 --> 00:18:34,738
[chuckles] This is how you do it?

402
00:18:34,822 --> 00:18:36,949
That's cute. Bet that works a lot."

403
00:18:37,032 --> 00:18:39,827
[audience laughs]

404
00:18:39,910 --> 00:18:42,454
"Oh, is this… is this your move?

405
00:18:42,538 --> 00:18:44,164
You go with me to my grandpa's funeral,

406
00:18:44,248 --> 00:18:45,874
hold an umbrella over my head in the rain?

407
00:18:45,958 --> 00:18:48,627
- [audience laughs]
- Is this like… Is this like your move?

408
00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:51,338
- This is how you do it?
- [audience laughs]

409
00:18:51,421 --> 00:18:55,175
Like, 'Whoops, don't get wet.'
'Oops! I am.' Whatever.

410
00:18:55,259 --> 00:18:59,805
[audience laughs, cheers]

411
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,727
This ain't my first rodeo.
I used to have two grandpas."

412
00:19:05,811 --> 00:19:07,729
[audience laughs]

413
00:19:11,608 --> 00:19:13,902
[audience chuckles]

414
00:19:13,986 --> 00:19:15,320
"Oh, is this…

415
00:19:16,155 --> 00:19:18,240
- Is this your move?
- [audience chuckles]

416
00:19:18,323 --> 00:19:20,075
You die next to me in a hospital bed

417
00:19:20,159 --> 00:19:23,328
at 86 years old holding my hand
for all eternity?

418
00:19:23,412 --> 00:19:26,123
Is this like your move?
This is how you get pussy?"

419
00:19:26,206 --> 00:19:27,416
[audience laughs]

420
00:19:27,499 --> 00:19:29,668
He's like,
"We've been together for 60 years."

421
00:19:29,751 --> 00:19:32,087
I'm like, "You're a fuckboy and I know it!

422
00:19:32,171 --> 00:19:33,547
[audience laughs]

423
00:19:34,214 --> 00:19:37,426
Don't bury me with this guy. He's been
dying with other people behind my back.

424
00:19:37,509 --> 00:19:39,219
- [audience laughs]
- I can't prove it.

425
00:19:39,303 --> 00:19:41,555
Check his phone when he uses the bedpan."

426
00:19:41,638 --> 00:19:44,099
[audience laughs]

427
00:19:45,601 --> 00:19:48,854
- And that's why we're in therapy.
- [audience laughs]

428
00:19:48,937 --> 00:19:50,147
People are scared to go to therapy

429
00:19:50,230 --> 00:19:52,983
because they think it's someone
sitting in a chair going, "You suck."

430
00:19:53,066 --> 00:19:56,236
But it's not. It's you in a chair going,
"I suck."

431
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:57,279
[audience laughs]

432
00:19:57,362 --> 00:20:00,490
And then your therapist is like,
"That's great. Let's start there."

433
00:20:00,574 --> 00:20:01,742
[audience laughs]

434
00:20:01,825 --> 00:20:04,703
Therapy just helps you to get
to the bottom of why you're trash, okay?

435
00:20:04,786 --> 00:20:05,829
You go into therapy and you're like,

436
00:20:05,913 --> 00:20:07,831
"Here's all the stuff
that sucks about me."

437
00:20:07,915 --> 00:20:09,708
And she goes, "Okay."
And she puts it all up on the wall

438
00:20:09,791 --> 00:20:11,251
like you're solving a crime together.

439
00:20:11,335 --> 00:20:12,336
- Fun!
- [audience laughs]

440
00:20:12,419 --> 00:20:15,380
And then she gets some of that red string
that detectives use at home

441
00:20:15,464 --> 00:20:17,799
when they've been thrown off the case
for going rogue

442
00:20:17,883 --> 00:20:18,967
[audience laughs]

443
00:20:19,051 --> 00:20:22,262
and she starts connecting
each crappy thing about you

444
00:20:22,346 --> 00:20:25,974
to each one
of your corresponding childhood traumas,

445
00:20:26,058 --> 00:20:28,810
and you're like, "Oh my God!
That's why I'm like this."

446
00:20:28,894 --> 00:20:30,562
And she's like,
"That's why you're like this."

447
00:20:30,646 --> 00:20:32,689
And you're like, "Am I fixed now?"

448
00:20:32,773 --> 00:20:35,359
- And she's like, "God, no!
- [audience laughs]

449
00:20:35,442 --> 00:20:37,569
No, no, no."
You're like, "Well, what do I do now?"

450
00:20:37,653 --> 00:20:39,821
She's like, "Well, you keep coming back
in here every week

451
00:20:39,905 --> 00:20:44,117
with your credit card." And you're like,
"What? Will I ever be fixed?"

452
00:20:44,201 --> 00:20:46,370
She's like, "I don't know.
Bring your credit card!"

453
00:20:46,453 --> 00:20:49,122
[audience laughs]

454
00:20:51,291 --> 00:20:53,168
I've got to the bottom
of a lot of stuff in therapy.

455
00:20:53,252 --> 00:20:56,922
I'm an emotional eater. I don't know
if anybody else identifies with that.

456
00:20:57,005 --> 00:20:59,049
- [audience whoops]
- Cool. Seven people.

457
00:20:59,132 --> 00:21:01,385
Everyone else is like, "No, we just eat
until we're almost full

458
00:21:01,468 --> 00:21:03,762
and then we thank God
for the opportunity, okay."

459
00:21:03,845 --> 00:21:05,097
[audience laughs]

460
00:21:05,180 --> 00:21:06,932
"Food is just fuel for me."

461
00:21:07,015 --> 00:21:09,184
If you're one of those,
fuck right off, for real.

462
00:21:09,268 --> 00:21:11,228
- [audience laughs]
- I'll refund your money.

463
00:21:11,311 --> 00:21:13,188
- I don't need your support.
- [audience cheers]

464
00:21:13,272 --> 00:21:15,107
I'm doing fine.

465
00:21:15,857 --> 00:21:18,235
If you don't know
what an emotional eater is,

466
00:21:18,318 --> 00:21:20,737
it just means you like eat
to cope with uncomfortable feelings.

467
00:21:20,821 --> 00:21:22,906
So if I'm like sad or anxious or awake,

468
00:21:22,990 --> 00:21:25,409
- I like to be eating to take the edge off.
- [audience laughs]

469
00:21:25,492 --> 00:21:27,286
If you still don't know if that's you,

470
00:21:27,369 --> 00:21:29,121
you can ask yourself a few questions
to find out.

471
00:21:29,204 --> 00:21:31,665
Number one. When you eat nachos in public,

472
00:21:31,748 --> 00:21:34,876
do you get kinda mad
that other people are there to see it?

473
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,421
[audience laughs]

474
00:21:37,504 --> 00:21:40,549
Do you feel like nachos
should come with a privacy curtain? I do.

475
00:21:40,632 --> 00:21:44,011
[audience laughs]

476
00:21:44,094 --> 00:21:46,680
Have all the best meals of your life

477
00:21:46,763 --> 00:21:50,017
taken place in your own car
around 11 p.m.?

478
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:53,145
- [audience laughs]
- Under a flickering streetlamp?

479
00:21:55,856 --> 00:21:58,442
Have you ever eaten a brownie

480
00:21:58,525 --> 00:22:00,193
while you felt okay

481
00:22:00,277 --> 00:22:01,987
[audience laughs]

482
00:22:02,070 --> 00:22:04,323
and wished you were sad

483
00:22:04,406 --> 00:22:06,033
[audience laughs]

484
00:22:06,116 --> 00:22:08,076
so that it tasted better?

485
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,245
[audience laughs]

486
00:22:10,329 --> 00:22:12,372
Sounds like more than seven of us.

487
00:22:12,456 --> 00:22:15,292
[audience laughs]

488
00:22:16,168 --> 00:22:19,254
In therapy,
I figured out the day in my childhood

489
00:22:19,338 --> 00:22:20,422
I became an emotional eater.

490
00:22:20,505 --> 00:22:22,966
I was eight years old
and I was eating a bagel in the kitchen

491
00:22:23,050 --> 00:22:24,301
and my dad came in and he goes,

492
00:22:24,384 --> 00:22:27,554
"You're gonna want to put that bagel down.
I gotta tell you something."

493
00:22:27,637 --> 00:22:30,390
And that's when he told me
that my mom had died.

494
00:22:30,474 --> 00:22:34,436
So somewhere in my brain,
something clicked, like,

495
00:22:34,519 --> 00:22:39,274
"Oh, when you stop eating bread,

496
00:22:39,357 --> 00:22:41,359
[audience laughs]

497
00:22:41,443 --> 00:22:44,029
- people perish."
- [audience laughs]

498
00:22:44,112 --> 00:22:46,490
I went back to fourth grade
like the angel of death.

499
00:22:46,573 --> 00:22:48,950
Everyone's like, "Step on a crack,
break your mother's back."

500
00:22:49,034 --> 00:22:52,537
I'm like, "Stop eating bread,
now your mom's dead, dude.

501
00:22:52,621 --> 00:22:53,538
[audience laughs]

502
00:22:53,622 --> 00:22:56,416
They left out that second part but…"

503
00:22:56,500 --> 00:23:00,629
I had a lisp when I was eight. I tell
you guys that because no one told me.

504
00:23:00,712 --> 00:23:01,963
[audience laughs]

505
00:23:02,047 --> 00:23:04,966
They pulled me aside
a year later at school.

506
00:23:05,050 --> 00:23:05,967
Someone's like,

507
00:23:06,051 --> 00:23:08,220
"Taylor, your teacher thinks you might be
struggling with a speech impediment."

508
00:23:08,303 --> 00:23:10,263
I'm like,
[with lisp] "What's a speech impediment?

509
00:23:10,347 --> 00:23:11,431
[audience laughs]

510
00:23:11,515 --> 00:23:14,142
[with lisp] Are you sure
you have the right person, 'cause…

511
00:23:14,226 --> 00:23:16,520
- I'm crushing it out there."
- [audience laughs]

512
00:23:16,603 --> 00:23:17,771
And they're like,
"You didn't do anything wrong.

513
00:23:17,854 --> 00:23:19,648
You just pronounce
your words a little differently,

514
00:23:19,731 --> 00:23:21,608
like you say "sh" instead of "ss"
for your S's,

515
00:23:21,691 --> 00:23:23,944
does that make sense? And I was like,

516
00:23:25,153 --> 00:23:27,823
[with lisp]
"I'm pretty sure I would have noticed

517
00:23:27,906 --> 00:23:32,410
- [audience laughs]
- if I said 'sh' instead of 'sh'.

518
00:23:32,494 --> 00:23:34,830
- Hope you find who you're looking for.
- [audience laughs]

519
00:23:34,913 --> 00:23:37,541
If you have any follow-up questions,
I'll be on the see-saw."

520
00:23:37,624 --> 00:23:39,209
[audience laughs]

521
00:23:43,630 --> 00:23:46,883
I know dead mom jokes
make people uncomfortable.

522
00:23:46,967 --> 00:23:49,344
I know that and if you are uncomfortable,

523
00:23:49,427 --> 00:23:52,722
I don't know what to say, you should've
worked harder so it was you up here.

524
00:23:52,806 --> 00:23:56,977
[audience laughs, cheers]

525
00:24:01,523 --> 00:24:05,068
No, honestly, I never want to make people
feel uncomfortable with that information.

526
00:24:05,152 --> 00:24:07,195
So much so
that I used to lie to everybody.

527
00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:09,948
Growing up, I used to tell everybody
that my parents were separated

528
00:24:10,031 --> 00:24:11,616
so I wouldn't have to say my mom's dead.

529
00:24:11,700 --> 00:24:13,577
And that worked very well

530
00:24:13,660 --> 00:24:17,038
until recently a friend of mine found out
I had lied and she was very upset.

531
00:24:17,122 --> 00:24:20,083
- [audience laughs]
- She was like, "Your mom's dead?

532
00:24:20,167 --> 00:24:22,460
Taylor, you told me your parents
were separated."

533
00:24:22,544 --> 00:24:24,671
And I was like, "Well, they were!

534
00:24:24,754 --> 00:24:26,715
[audience laughs]

535
00:24:26,798 --> 00:24:28,717
By Jesus."

536
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,595
[audience laughs]

537
00:24:31,678 --> 00:24:35,765
Both her parents are alive, so she has
no idea how funny that is but…

538
00:24:35,849 --> 00:24:38,018
- [audience laughs]
- She'll get it eventually, right?

539
00:24:38,101 --> 00:24:40,896
- Like that joke is a slow burn.
- [audience laughs]

540
00:24:41,479 --> 00:24:44,941
Kinda like cancer,
which is what got mine, hey oh!

541
00:24:45,025 --> 00:24:46,067
[audience laughs]

542
00:24:46,151 --> 00:24:47,194
Okay, alright.

543
00:24:47,277 --> 00:24:49,112
[audience laughs]

544
00:24:49,196 --> 00:24:51,281
[groans] Here's the deal, Boston.

545
00:24:51,364 --> 00:24:53,074
[audience laughs]

546
00:24:53,158 --> 00:24:56,953
We have another, like,
six minutes of dead mom jokes.

547
00:24:57,037 --> 00:24:58,705
[audience laughs]

548
00:24:59,956 --> 00:25:02,751
I know. You're getting like, "Whoa, no,
six minutes is a long time."

549
00:25:02,834 --> 00:25:05,253
It won't feel long.
I have cushioned her, alright?

550
00:25:05,337 --> 00:25:07,130
- [audience laughs]
- I have laid my dead mom to rest

551
00:25:07,214 --> 00:25:11,051
in a beautiful casket of dick jokes
and pop culture references.

552
00:25:11,134 --> 00:25:13,637
There's something for everybody
over the next six minutes.

553
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,223
You'll laugh, you'll cry,
you'll forget she's dead.

554
00:25:16,306 --> 00:25:17,682
[audience laughs]

555
00:25:17,766 --> 00:25:20,393
But I know a lot's happening
for you as a crowd right now

556
00:25:20,477 --> 00:25:21,978
because you're like,
"Taylor, we're good people.

557
00:25:22,062 --> 00:25:24,814
Good people wouldn't laugh at dead
mom jokes."

558
00:25:24,898 --> 00:25:28,485
I'm here to tell you that if you're trying
to be a good person at a comedy show,

559
00:25:28,568 --> 00:25:31,947
- you're wasting your God damn time.
- [audience laughs]

560
00:25:32,030 --> 00:25:34,032
Trying to be a good person
at a comedy show

561
00:25:34,115 --> 00:25:36,243
is like trying to recycle at a theme park.

562
00:25:36,326 --> 00:25:39,579
You're already in here and part of the
problem, put your hands up and have fun.

563
00:25:39,663 --> 00:25:41,498
[audience laughs]

564
00:25:42,624 --> 00:25:44,292
And I know you're good people.
You're like,

565
00:25:44,376 --> 00:25:46,044
"Taylor, we've known you for 25 minutes.

566
00:25:46,127 --> 00:25:48,922
We hate that anything bad
ever happened to you even once."

567
00:25:49,005 --> 00:25:50,715
Thank you so much, Boston.

568
00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:53,760
But what you have to understand is
the bad thing already happened

569
00:25:53,843 --> 00:25:56,096
and now I'm talking about it
into a microphone

570
00:25:56,179 --> 00:25:59,307
- in front of people who paid to be here,
- [audience laughs]

571
00:25:59,391 --> 00:26:02,894
which means now the bad thing is money.

572
00:26:02,978 --> 00:26:04,437
[audience laughs]

573
00:26:04,521 --> 00:26:06,815
Do you think I'd be this successful

574
00:26:06,898 --> 00:26:11,152
at my age if I had a live mom?

575
00:26:11,236 --> 00:26:13,446
[audience laughs]

576
00:26:13,530 --> 00:26:17,701
[audience whoops]

577
00:26:20,495 --> 00:26:22,622
- [shouts] Fuck no!
- [audience laughs]

578
00:26:22,706 --> 00:26:25,667
I'd be a creative writing teacher
who loved myself

579
00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:28,503
and I'd be sitting in the dark
with you pheasants, okay?

580
00:26:28,586 --> 00:26:31,298
- [audience laughs]
- She's in heaven, I'm on Netflix,

581
00:26:31,381 --> 00:26:33,216
it all worked out.

582
00:26:33,300 --> 00:26:37,053
[audience cheers]

583
00:26:43,393 --> 00:26:45,520
That is a real thing I said in therapy.

584
00:26:45,603 --> 00:26:46,813
[audience laughs]

585
00:26:46,896 --> 00:26:48,606
To which my therapist responded,

586
00:26:48,690 --> 00:26:50,358
"You should come in twice this week."

587
00:26:50,442 --> 00:26:53,278
[audience laughs]

588
00:26:57,198 --> 00:26:59,326
Some people get sad
because I was eight when it happened.

589
00:26:59,409 --> 00:27:01,286
But eight is a great time to lose a parent

590
00:27:01,369 --> 00:27:04,372
because you're so stupid,
you barely know what's going on.

591
00:27:04,456 --> 00:27:05,874
When I was eight, I was like,

592
00:27:05,957 --> 00:27:08,543
the only people I know with dead moms
are Disney princesses.

593
00:27:08,626 --> 00:27:09,669
[audience chuckles]

594
00:27:09,753 --> 00:27:13,465
So like, this sucks
but am I about to get hot?

595
00:27:13,548 --> 00:27:14,674
[audience laughs]

596
00:27:14,758 --> 00:27:16,217
Then I hit puberty and I was like,

597
00:27:16,301 --> 00:27:18,887
"Oh no, I guess God just hates me
right now, that's a bummer."

598
00:27:18,970 --> 00:27:23,183
That's a joke. God doesn't hate anybody,
alright? Not anymore.

599
00:27:23,266 --> 00:27:25,352
[audience laughs]

600
00:27:25,435 --> 00:27:28,646
But have you read the Old Testament?
Holy shit.

601
00:27:28,730 --> 00:27:29,981
[audience laughs]

602
00:27:30,065 --> 00:27:33,485
The Old Testament is my favorite
Taylor Swift album.

603
00:27:33,568 --> 00:27:35,528
- It is…
- [audience laughs]

604
00:27:38,114 --> 00:27:40,992
It is banger after banger. Just like,

605
00:27:41,076 --> 00:27:42,744
"You don't believe in me?

606
00:27:42,827 --> 00:27:45,955
[in singsong voice]
Snakes! Look what you made me do."

607
00:27:46,039 --> 00:27:48,249
[audience laughs]

608
00:27:49,709 --> 00:27:51,336
I'm a 20-something white woman, obviously,

609
00:27:51,419 --> 00:27:53,630
I'm gonna compare T. Swift to the Lord,
alright?

610
00:27:53,713 --> 00:27:54,756
[audience laughs]

611
00:27:54,839 --> 00:27:57,801
She is the only god I still believe in,
alright?

612
00:27:57,884 --> 00:27:59,552
[audience cheers]

613
00:27:59,636 --> 00:28:03,181
I don't see God God revamping his old shit

614
00:28:03,264 --> 00:28:07,394
and let's be honest, he probably should
'cause the people who own it now suck.

615
00:28:07,477 --> 00:28:09,979
[audience laughs, cheers]

616
00:28:15,318 --> 00:28:17,570
It does grow you up very quickly,
losing a parent that young.

617
00:28:17,654 --> 00:28:21,866
I mean, I saw a dead body when I was eight
which means I saw a dead body years

618
00:28:21,950 --> 00:28:23,201
before I saw a dick.

619
00:28:23,284 --> 00:28:25,995
And that is not the order
that shit should go in

620
00:28:26,079 --> 00:28:28,832
- [audience laughs]
- according to the American Girl Body book.

621
00:28:28,915 --> 00:28:31,376
[audience laughs]

622
00:28:32,877 --> 00:28:35,505
Although maybe it should be
'cause you know what's crazy? A dick?

623
00:28:35,588 --> 00:28:37,841
- Way more traumatizing than your dead mom.
- [audience laughs]

624
00:28:37,924 --> 00:28:40,093
Oh my God, it's so much worse.
I saw my mom, I was like,

625
00:28:40,176 --> 00:28:42,178
"That lady used to make me snacks,
now she's very still."

626
00:28:42,262 --> 00:28:43,972
I saw a dick for the first time,

627
00:28:44,055 --> 00:28:46,975
I was like, "Oh my God!
Who took Jabba the Hutt's eyes?

628
00:28:47,058 --> 00:28:48,184
[audience laughs]

629
00:28:48,268 --> 00:28:50,353
You have done nothing for me. No, no, no.

630
00:28:50,437 --> 00:28:53,231
No, I didn't say Beetlejuice
even one time!"

631
00:28:53,314 --> 00:28:54,566
[audience laughs]

632
00:28:55,275 --> 00:28:57,902
I haven't seen that many dicks
and I don't want to see any more

633
00:28:57,986 --> 00:28:58,945
and it's nothing against men,

634
00:28:59,028 --> 00:29:01,614
I'm attracted to you for some reason
but I swear to God,

635
00:29:01,698 --> 00:29:04,909
every time you see a new dick, there
is an adjustment period, isn't there?

636
00:29:04,993 --> 00:29:06,953
- [audience laughs]
- Just a real quick like…

637
00:29:07,036 --> 00:29:09,080
[huffs deeply]
and we're back in it, alright.

638
00:29:09,164 --> 00:29:09,998
[audience laughs]

639
00:29:11,499 --> 00:29:13,501
I have stayed in relationships too long

640
00:29:13,585 --> 00:29:15,295
'cause I just wasn't ready
to see a fresh one.

641
00:29:15,378 --> 00:29:16,963
- I just couldn't
- [audience laughs]

642
00:29:17,046 --> 00:29:19,924
couldn't wrap my head around it,
literally or figuratively.

643
00:29:20,008 --> 00:29:23,428
I just… I just didn't have it in me,
couldn't have it in me.

644
00:29:23,511 --> 00:29:26,431
- And…
- [audience laughs]

645
00:29:26,514 --> 00:29:29,642
I don't care how many dicks you've seen,
every time you see a new dick,

646
00:29:29,726 --> 00:29:32,187
it feels like jumping into a cold pool.

647
00:29:32,270 --> 00:29:34,564
Just like, [nervously] "Alright,
let me just swim around,

648
00:29:34,647 --> 00:29:36,483
get used to this one."

649
00:29:36,566 --> 00:29:41,070
"Okay, alright, this one's deeper
than the last one but that's okay."

650
00:29:41,154 --> 00:29:44,741
"That's alright. This is why
we take our arm floaties, you know,

651
00:29:44,824 --> 00:29:46,534
for moments like these."

652
00:29:46,618 --> 00:29:50,205
- [audience claps, cheers]
- [grunting]

653
00:29:51,372 --> 00:29:55,376
Just control your breathing,
hot girl summer, bitch, you can do it.

654
00:29:55,460 --> 00:29:57,086
[audience laughs]

655
00:29:57,170 --> 00:29:58,880
I think of the genitalia
options available,

656
00:29:58,963 --> 00:30:01,257
I think dick seem friendlier, you know.

657
00:30:01,341 --> 00:30:03,885
They're up, they're happy to see you,
they're wagging, I've never had sex.

658
00:30:03,968 --> 00:30:05,762
[audience laughs]

659
00:30:05,845 --> 00:30:08,139
- It's like a front tail, right?
- [audience laughs]

660
00:30:08,223 --> 00:30:10,266
I'll Google it, it's fine.

661
00:30:10,350 --> 00:30:13,728
It's all speculation. I've never seen a
vagina, not even my own, I'm a Christian.

662
00:30:13,812 --> 00:30:15,730
- [audience laughs]
- But from what I hear,

663
00:30:15,814 --> 00:30:19,526
it is very spooky down there.
It's just a dark spooky hole, like,

664
00:30:19,609 --> 00:30:21,236
a hole? I'm sorry, what?

665
00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:25,448
Every time someone fingers me, I'm like,
"You are very trusting, sir, because…"

666
00:30:25,532 --> 00:30:27,242
- [audience laughs]
- "…I don't even know where that goes."

667
00:30:27,325 --> 00:30:30,912
"That might be where I keep the bipolar.
That might be…"

668
00:30:30,995 --> 00:30:32,705
[audience laughs]

669
00:30:32,789 --> 00:30:36,668
"…where it has been… actually, if you see
any, could you scrape it out?"

670
00:30:36,751 --> 00:30:38,503
- "Could you…"
- [audience laughs]

671
00:30:38,586 --> 00:30:40,296
"…just like a mental health Pap smear?"

672
00:30:40,380 --> 00:30:41,589
- "Can you just do…"
- [audience laughs]

673
00:30:41,673 --> 00:30:43,842
Don't do that. Like,
you gotta hook your finger,

674
00:30:43,925 --> 00:30:45,969
like when a baby's choking,
are you familiar?

675
00:30:46,052 --> 00:30:48,471
If you do that, it'll push it in too far,
it's too late.

676
00:30:48,555 --> 00:30:52,225
But if you hook your finger, you swipe it,
that's how you get it out.

677
00:30:52,308 --> 00:30:54,853
[audience laughs]

678
00:30:54,936 --> 00:30:57,480
I like doing that joke
because it goes too far

679
00:30:57,564 --> 00:30:59,691
but you do learn something
that could save a life.

680
00:30:59,774 --> 00:31:03,945
[audience laughs]

681
00:31:06,489 --> 00:31:09,242
I just love the idea of years from now,
someone being like,

682
00:31:09,325 --> 00:31:12,579
"If it weren't for that dick joke,
my niece would not be here."

683
00:31:12,662 --> 00:31:14,622
[audience laughs]

684
00:31:18,835 --> 00:31:21,713
The craziest thing that happened
is my mom died of cancer.

685
00:31:21,796 --> 00:31:24,841
- See? You almost forgot.
- [audience laughs]

686
00:31:24,924 --> 00:31:29,053
And then my dad got remarried
and then our stepmom got cancer.

687
00:31:29,137 --> 00:31:31,598
She's fine, don't worry.
I wouldn't do that to you twice.

688
00:31:31,681 --> 00:31:35,977
- [audience laughs]
- That's God talking to my dad. And…

689
00:31:36,978 --> 00:31:41,316
As soon as our stepmom got it,
me and my siblings were like, "Holy shit."

690
00:31:41,399 --> 00:31:44,777
"Is Dad giving people cancer?"

691
00:31:44,861 --> 00:31:45,987
[audience laughs]

692
00:31:46,070 --> 00:31:47,572
We thought he was a carcinogen.

693
00:31:47,655 --> 00:31:49,324
We were like,
"Don't microwave anything for him."

694
00:31:49,407 --> 00:31:51,242
- [audience laughs]
- "I think that's how he's doing it."

695
00:31:52,118 --> 00:31:53,661
If he had taken down a second one,

696
00:31:53,745 --> 00:31:56,080
we would've put a warning
on his Christian Mingle account.

697
00:31:56,164 --> 00:31:57,540
Like bare minimum, just like,

698
00:31:57,624 --> 00:32:01,085
"Hey, chemicals in here
have been known to cause cancer."

699
00:32:01,169 --> 00:32:03,922
- "Ride at your own risk."
- [audience laughs]

700
00:32:04,005 --> 00:32:06,132
I feel like some people
don't believe me that she's alive.

701
00:32:06,215 --> 00:32:09,802
She's completely fine, you guys.
She's happy, healthy, great lady.

702
00:32:09,886 --> 00:32:12,221
We actually call my stepmom Mom
because when my dad married her,

703
00:32:12,305 --> 00:32:13,389
nobody was using it.

704
00:32:13,473 --> 00:32:15,016
So we were like,
"Yeah, be Mom, who cares."

705
00:32:15,099 --> 00:32:16,392
[audience laughs]

706
00:32:16,476 --> 00:32:18,686
Oh, I'm sorry, if your principal quit

707
00:32:18,770 --> 00:32:22,273
and you got a new principal, they
wouldn't be like, "This is Lisa." Like…

708
00:32:22,357 --> 00:32:25,610
[audience laughs]

709
00:32:25,693 --> 00:32:28,488
Let her be principal, there is an opening.

710
00:32:28,571 --> 00:32:29,405
[audience laughs]

711
00:32:29,489 --> 00:32:32,492
Also, we were so young when it happened
and my dad got remarried so fast,

712
00:32:32,575 --> 00:32:35,912
I think he was kinda hoping he could
just like Indiana Jones switch them out

713
00:32:35,995 --> 00:32:38,164
- [audience laughs]
- before anybody noticed.

714
00:32:38,247 --> 00:32:40,041
You know when you're a kid
and your hamster dies

715
00:32:40,124 --> 00:32:41,918
and your parents
don't want to explain death to you

716
00:32:42,001 --> 00:32:44,045
so they just buy you a new one
that looks the same

717
00:32:44,128 --> 00:32:45,797
and they're like, "No, that's Connie, she
just bites now."

718
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,174
- [audience laughs]
- That's kinda what he did.

719
00:32:48,257 --> 00:32:49,842
But with moms.

720
00:32:51,386 --> 00:32:52,720
But I never used to talk about
any of that,

721
00:32:52,804 --> 00:32:54,931
I never used to talk about my mom dying

722
00:32:55,014 --> 00:32:56,724
because I didn't want
to make people uncomfortable

723
00:32:56,808 --> 00:32:58,768
and also,
like most of us with childhood trauma,

724
00:32:58,851 --> 00:33:00,478
should be pretty much everyone in here.

725
00:33:00,561 --> 00:33:02,605
If you're sitting here tonight going,
"I don't think I have any,

726
00:33:02,689 --> 00:33:04,732
I have great parents,
I had a good childhood

727
00:33:04,816 --> 00:33:07,944
and this 'comedy show'?
It's not that fun for me."

728
00:33:08,027 --> 00:33:09,737
- [audience laughs]
- Good.

729
00:33:09,821 --> 00:33:15,660
[audience laughs]

730
00:33:17,745 --> 00:33:20,164
I hope this is the worst night
of your whole life.

731
00:33:20,248 --> 00:33:21,624
[audience laughs]

732
00:33:21,708 --> 00:33:24,210
'Cause it sounds like
it's been smooth sailing

733
00:33:24,293 --> 00:33:27,922
- [audience laughs]
- and you might need some perspective.

734
00:33:29,424 --> 00:33:31,342
Most of us did have some childhood trauma

735
00:33:31,426 --> 00:33:32,593
and when you get to be an adult,
you're like,

736
00:33:32,677 --> 00:33:34,762
"Woo, made it!
Never have to think about that again.

737
00:33:34,846 --> 00:33:35,805
Look at all my keys.

738
00:33:35,888 --> 00:33:37,682
- The world's my oyster."
- [audience laughs]

739
00:33:37,765 --> 00:33:41,060
And so you just start pushing all that
dark stuff that happened to you as a kid

740
00:33:41,144 --> 00:33:44,063
down, down, down 'til you don't even
think about it anymore.

741
00:33:44,147 --> 00:33:46,065
And that works for a long time.

742
00:33:46,149 --> 00:33:47,150
[audience chuckles]

743
00:33:47,233 --> 00:33:49,193
- Until one day,
- [audience laughs]

744
00:33:49,277 --> 00:33:51,279
you stub your toe really hard on a curb

745
00:33:51,362 --> 00:33:53,698
and you just start weeping uncontrollably
in the street

746
00:33:53,781 --> 00:33:57,201
and you're like, "Okay,
this is about something else.

747
00:33:57,285 --> 00:33:58,786
[audience laughs]

748
00:33:58,870 --> 00:34:01,789
I was keeping all my trauma in that toe.

749
00:34:01,873 --> 00:34:03,041
[audience laughs]

750
00:34:03,124 --> 00:34:05,877
And then I jostled it
and now it's everywhere.

751
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:07,211
[audience laughs]

752
00:34:07,295 --> 00:34:08,463
[whispering] Gone over here."

753
00:34:08,546 --> 00:34:09,630
[audience laughs]

754
00:34:09,714 --> 00:34:12,925
And if you don't deal with that stuff,
it's gonna keep affecting you in ways

755
00:34:13,009 --> 00:34:14,719
you are not even conscious of.

756
00:34:14,802 --> 00:34:17,472
I realized in therapy
that because my mom died young,

757
00:34:17,555 --> 00:34:21,017
I have this irrational belief
that I am also going to die young,

758
00:34:21,100 --> 00:34:23,936
so I've been living
in a very intense unhealthy way

759
00:34:24,020 --> 00:34:26,522
my entire adult life where I'm like,
I can't take a break,

760
00:34:26,606 --> 00:34:27,857
I gotta be working all the time,

761
00:34:27,940 --> 00:34:30,485
I have to hit these goals
and achievements, otherwise I'm nothing.

762
00:34:30,568 --> 00:34:32,695
I got engaged a few years ago
'cause I was like,

763
00:34:32,779 --> 00:34:34,781
"I gotta get married before I'm dead"

764
00:34:34,864 --> 00:34:37,075
which is a super hot way to propose
to somebody.

765
00:34:37,158 --> 00:34:37,992
[audience laughs]

766
00:34:38,076 --> 00:34:41,329
I call it "The Walk to Remember,"
it's kinda my move and…

767
00:34:41,412 --> 00:34:45,333
[audience claps]

768
00:34:46,501 --> 00:34:48,628
It did not work out with my ex-fiancé.

769
00:34:48,711 --> 00:34:52,715
I hate that I have to say that word now.
It sounds like a spell, doesn't it?

770
00:34:52,799 --> 00:34:55,134
[shouting]
Just like, "Ex-fiancé!" It's terrible.

771
00:34:55,218 --> 00:34:56,803
[audience laughs]

772
00:34:56,886 --> 00:34:58,679
He and I are not friends,

773
00:34:58,763 --> 00:35:00,890
not 'cause he's a bad person,
he's actually a very good person.

774
00:35:00,973 --> 00:35:04,268
I don't know if you've dated someone
right before they find out they're bipolar

775
00:35:04,352 --> 00:35:06,896
but it is what is known as
"The Lord's work."

776
00:35:06,979 --> 00:35:08,773
[audience laughs]

777
00:35:08,856 --> 00:35:12,151
I think I was a great partner
if nothing went wrong.

778
00:35:12,235 --> 00:35:15,530
If nothing went wrong,
I was like, awesome.

779
00:35:15,613 --> 00:35:18,491
But if one thing went wrong,

780
00:35:18,574 --> 00:35:19,700
total nightmare. Like,

781
00:35:19,784 --> 00:35:24,330
I was like those spikes you drive over
when you're returning a rental car.

782
00:35:24,413 --> 00:35:27,291
Like as long as you keep moving forward,
everything's great.

783
00:35:27,375 --> 00:35:30,920
But if you back up even a little,
I will slash all your tires.

784
00:35:31,003 --> 00:35:31,838
[audience laughs]

785
00:35:31,921 --> 00:35:34,632
And then be like, "What? I put up a sign."

786
00:35:34,715 --> 00:35:35,591
[audience laughs]

787
00:35:35,675 --> 00:35:37,051
And you're like, "I know, I mean, I know

788
00:35:37,135 --> 00:35:39,512
I messed up a little but
like this reaction seems cra…

789
00:35:39,595 --> 00:35:42,265
like other speed bumps don't react
like that." And I'm like,

790
00:35:42,348 --> 00:35:44,475
"Then go be with her!"

791
00:35:44,559 --> 00:35:47,603
- [audience laughs]
- [chuckles]

792
00:35:47,687 --> 00:35:49,772
We are not friends, my ex-fiancé and I,

793
00:35:49,856 --> 00:35:52,066
because I think it's weird
when exes try to be friends

794
00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:53,067
with each other and they're like,

795
00:35:53,151 --> 00:35:56,904
"We'll hang out, we'll get fro yo."
You're like, "Fro yo?

796
00:35:56,988 --> 00:35:58,781
I know what you taste like.

797
00:35:58,865 --> 00:36:01,868
- I'm not gonna sample yogurt with you,
- [audience laughs]

798
00:36:01,951 --> 00:36:02,952
you psycho.

799
00:36:03,035 --> 00:36:07,331
Do they have Kevin after a run,
do they have that flavor at Yogurtland?"

800
00:36:07,415 --> 00:36:10,334
They do, it's salted caramel, but still.

801
00:36:10,418 --> 00:36:14,714
[audience cheers, claps]

802
00:36:18,467 --> 00:36:21,345
I went back home
after I called off my engagement

803
00:36:21,429 --> 00:36:23,681
for whatever holiday doesn't offend you
and…

804
00:36:23,764 --> 00:36:25,391
[audience laughs]

805
00:36:25,474 --> 00:36:26,893
a lot of my friends are settling down.

806
00:36:26,976 --> 00:36:29,520
Some of them are just settling, period,
end of sentence.

807
00:36:29,604 --> 00:36:30,646
[audience laughs]

808
00:36:30,730 --> 00:36:32,190
You guys know those couples?

809
00:36:32,273 --> 00:36:33,816
Everyone knows one couple like that

810
00:36:33,900 --> 00:36:36,277
where like one person in the couple
is way hotter

811
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,279
and cooler than the other person
in the couple.

812
00:36:38,362 --> 00:36:41,073
I like to call those couples
chocolate-covered raisins.

813
00:36:41,157 --> 00:36:42,783
[audience laughs]

814
00:36:42,867 --> 00:36:47,330
Because you're like sure, you could
put those two together, if you want.

815
00:36:47,413 --> 00:36:49,373
[audience laughs]

816
00:36:49,457 --> 00:36:53,085
But every time you see them, you're like,
"Chocolate, what are you doing?

817
00:36:53,169 --> 00:36:54,337
[audience laughs]

818
00:36:54,420 --> 00:36:55,838
You could've been with anybody.

819
00:36:55,922 --> 00:36:58,049
You could've been with caramel,
you could've been with marshmallow,

820
00:36:58,132 --> 00:37:01,844
you could've been with peanut butter,
who I heard cures depression,

821
00:37:01,928 --> 00:37:05,514
[audience laughs]

822
00:37:07,308 --> 00:37:10,186
and you want to be with raisin forever?

823
00:37:10,269 --> 00:37:14,941
Like, no offense, raisin, you're great,
we love you, nature's candy, that's you.

824
00:37:15,024 --> 00:37:19,153
But you belong with like oatmeal,
like, you know that, right?

825
00:37:19,237 --> 00:37:20,821
This doesn't feel good,

826
00:37:20,905 --> 00:37:22,865
right? Aren't you scared every day

827
00:37:22,949 --> 00:37:26,077
that someone's gonna come along
and suck chocolate right off of you?

828
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,119
[audience laughs]

829
00:37:27,703 --> 00:37:28,746
I love this joke

830
00:37:28,829 --> 00:37:30,539
'cause I like to see couples in the
audience looking at each other like,

831
00:37:30,623 --> 00:37:32,583
"Am I chocolate or raisin?

832
00:37:32,667 --> 00:37:34,335
[audience laughs]

833
00:37:34,418 --> 00:37:37,421
We're both chocolate, right, babe?
We're chocolate-covered chocolate?

834
00:37:37,505 --> 00:37:40,424
We're like those little Lindor guys
in the foil, you know?

835
00:37:40,508 --> 00:37:42,051
I'm the creamy part and you're the shell

836
00:37:42,134 --> 00:37:44,637
[sobbing] 'cause you're so strong and
if you leave me, I'll be a mess."

837
00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:50,101
[audience laughs]

838
00:37:54,981 --> 00:37:58,484
Some of you are like,
"I am oatmeal and I am good with it."

839
00:37:58,567 --> 00:37:59,610
[audience laughs]

840
00:38:02,154 --> 00:38:04,573
I made the mistake of talking
to my happiest married friend

841
00:38:04,657 --> 00:38:06,701
after I called off my engagement,
don't do that.

842
00:38:06,784 --> 00:38:11,205
Your happiest married friend doesn't
remember what it's like to be heartbroken.

843
00:38:11,289 --> 00:38:12,331
She's like,
"Well, what are you gonna do now?

844
00:38:12,415 --> 00:38:14,458
You're gonna get back out there?
Are you seeing anybody?"

845
00:38:14,542 --> 00:38:17,253
And I was like, "Nope, just gonna focus
on my career for a little bit."

846
00:38:17,336 --> 00:38:18,170
And she's like,

847
00:38:18,254 --> 00:38:21,424
"Well, why can't you focus on a career
and a relationship at the same time?"

848
00:38:21,507 --> 00:38:24,844
- And I was like, "How do I explain this
- [audience chuckles]

849
00:38:24,927 --> 00:38:26,387
in a way you might understand?

850
00:38:26,470 --> 00:38:29,390
[muttering] Why can't
I focus on a career and a relationship?

851
00:38:29,473 --> 00:38:31,350
Have you ever been on the freeway

852
00:38:31,434 --> 00:38:35,104
in traffic and your lane stops
but the one next to you keeps moving,

853
00:38:35,187 --> 00:38:36,022
so you get in the one that's moving,

854
00:38:36,105 --> 00:38:38,149
and as soon as you get in the one
that's moving, that one stops

855
00:38:38,232 --> 00:38:39,859
and the one next to you
starts moving again.

856
00:38:39,942 --> 00:38:41,652
So you get back in that first one
'cause that one's moving now

857
00:38:41,736 --> 00:38:42,695
and as soon as you get back
in that first one,

858
00:38:42,778 --> 00:38:44,655
that one stops again
and the one next to you starts moving.

859
00:38:44,739 --> 00:38:47,658
And after you go back and forth a few more
times, at a certain point, you're like,

860
00:38:47,742 --> 00:38:50,703
"Okay. Is it fucking me?"

861
00:38:50,786 --> 00:38:55,708
[audience laughs]

862
00:39:01,422 --> 00:39:02,882
And she's like,
"Yeah, I don't know if I get it

863
00:39:02,965 --> 00:39:04,925
because you know, John and I,
we usually just boop,

864
00:39:05,009 --> 00:39:06,802
get in the carpool lane.

865
00:39:06,886 --> 00:39:09,013
[audience laughs]

866
00:39:11,682 --> 00:39:14,393
And I was like, "Where's your baby?
Imma drop it!"

867
00:39:14,477 --> 00:39:18,397
[audience laughs]

868
00:39:22,151 --> 00:39:24,236
I actually did get into
a new relationship pretty quickly

869
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:25,821
after I called off my engagement.

870
00:39:25,905 --> 00:39:27,656
I wasn't trying to, I really wasn't.

871
00:39:27,740 --> 00:39:30,618
A lot of my friends were like,
"You should stay single for a while.

872
00:39:30,701 --> 00:39:33,371
You should maybe get a cat."
And I was like, hard pass.

873
00:39:33,454 --> 00:39:37,708
I have never left an interaction
with a cat feeling better about who I was.

874
00:39:37,792 --> 00:39:38,793
[audience laughs]

875
00:39:38,876 --> 00:39:41,837
Every cat reacts to people the way I react
to seeing girls

876
00:39:41,921 --> 00:39:43,589
I went to middle school with in a Target.

877
00:39:43,672 --> 00:39:44,799
Just like…

878
00:39:44,882 --> 00:39:48,135
[audience laughs]

879
00:39:48,219 --> 00:39:50,513
[shouts] Oh, no! Like that's every cat.

880
00:39:50,596 --> 00:39:51,430
[audience laughs]

881
00:39:51,514 --> 00:39:53,432
I don't want to come home to that energy.

882
00:39:53,516 --> 00:39:54,975
[audience laughs]

883
00:39:56,268 --> 00:39:57,686
But I wasn't looking for a relationship.

884
00:39:57,770 --> 00:40:00,231
I was trying to have like a fun,
sexy fling

885
00:40:00,314 --> 00:40:01,732
which doesn't usually go great for me

886
00:40:01,816 --> 00:40:03,359
because I have this round wholesome face

887
00:40:03,442 --> 00:40:05,236
that people think
they should build a life with.

888
00:40:05,319 --> 00:40:06,153
[audience laughs]

889
00:40:06,237 --> 00:40:09,740
Every time I'm like, "We could bone or
whatever." Guys are like, "No, I'm alright

890
00:40:09,824 --> 00:40:11,826
but you could meet my mom,
do you want to do that?

891
00:40:11,909 --> 00:40:14,578
You seem like you'd be better
at meeting my mom than having sex."

892
00:40:14,662 --> 00:40:16,831
- And they are not wrong, alright?
- [audience laughs]

893
00:40:16,914 --> 00:40:19,083
I will meet your mom all night long.

894
00:40:19,166 --> 00:40:20,709
Moms like me so much for no reason.

895
00:40:20,793 --> 00:40:24,338
I was dating a guy years ago, we were
totally on the rocks having problems,

896
00:40:24,422 --> 00:40:26,799
and I went to lunch with his mom
hoping to get some advice,

897
00:40:26,882 --> 00:40:28,801
and halfway through lunch,
she puts her hand on my hand

898
00:40:28,884 --> 00:40:31,512
and goes, "You know, Taylor,
my son's a lot like his father.

899
00:40:32,054 --> 00:40:32,888
[audience chuckles]

900
00:40:32,972 --> 00:40:35,683
And if I could go back in time,

901
00:40:35,766 --> 00:40:38,185
[audience laughs]

902
00:40:38,269 --> 00:40:42,106
I don't know
that I'd marry his father again."

903
00:40:42,189 --> 00:40:43,441
[audience laughs]

904
00:40:45,234 --> 00:40:48,612
[audience laughs]

905
00:40:49,738 --> 00:40:53,117
And I was like, "Are you saving my life
in this Panera Bread right now?"

906
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,827
[audience laughs]

907
00:40:54,910 --> 00:40:58,330
It was like a movie when
an older character sacrifices themselves

908
00:40:58,414 --> 00:41:00,749
for the good of the journey,
like she Gandalfed me.

909
00:41:00,833 --> 00:41:02,293
She was like, "Fly, you fool!"

910
00:41:02,376 --> 00:41:06,755
[audience laughs]

911
00:41:09,049 --> 00:41:13,888
She was a bad mom and a bad wife
but such a good friend,

912
00:41:13,971 --> 00:41:17,892
- oh my God! Hoes before sons, am I right?
- [audience laughs]

913
00:41:17,975 --> 00:41:20,186
I think about her every day.

914
00:41:21,479 --> 00:41:24,148
And my boyfriend wasn't looking
for a relationship either

915
00:41:24,231 --> 00:41:26,734
when we met,
straight dudes usually aren't, you know.

916
00:41:26,817 --> 00:41:29,820
Women are surprised
when they find a guy who can make them cum

917
00:41:29,904 --> 00:41:31,780
and straight dudes are surprised when
they find a girl

918
00:41:31,864 --> 00:41:34,575
who can make them
feel genuine feelings in their heart.

919
00:41:34,658 --> 00:41:37,828
Like women are like,
"He got me off three times."

920
00:41:37,912 --> 00:41:40,331
And guys are like, [in low voice] "I mean,

921
00:41:40,414 --> 00:41:42,541
I just fucking like her, dude.

922
00:41:42,625 --> 00:41:48,047
[audience laughs]

923
00:41:48,130 --> 00:41:51,383
[in low voice] Like we talked all day,
I didn't want to hit her, it was nuts!

924
00:41:51,467 --> 00:41:52,718
[audience laughs]

925
00:41:52,801 --> 00:41:57,515
She's just like my friend. I don't know,
I want to like lick her heart, I think."

926
00:41:57,598 --> 00:41:58,891
[audience laughs]

927
00:41:59,642 --> 00:42:03,562
Straight dudes are so proud of themselves
for falling in love. It's really cute.

928
00:42:03,646 --> 00:42:05,523
They're like, [in low voice] "I love you.

929
00:42:05,606 --> 00:42:08,275
Hell yeah, buddy,
I knew you could get there."

930
00:42:08,359 --> 00:42:09,610
[audience laughs]

931
00:42:09,693 --> 00:42:11,987
Women fall in love,
we're like, "I love you.

932
00:42:12,071 --> 00:42:13,989
[whispering]
Fucking again? You dumb bitch.

933
00:42:14,073 --> 00:42:15,282
[audience laughs]

934
00:42:15,366 --> 00:42:17,117
You were supposed to love you first,

935
00:42:17,201 --> 00:42:19,578
- you keep skipping that part!
- [audience laughs]

936
00:42:19,662 --> 00:42:21,622
It is eat, pray, then love!

937
00:42:21,705 --> 00:42:22,581
[audience laughs]

938
00:42:22,665 --> 00:42:25,960
Oh my God. It's okay, we'll try again
in a year and a half."

939
00:42:26,043 --> 00:42:27,711
[audience laughs]

940
00:42:33,050 --> 00:42:34,927
My boyfriend is seven years older than me

941
00:42:35,010 --> 00:42:36,971
'cause I needed to get back
on my dad for some stuff.

942
00:42:37,054 --> 00:42:39,390
[audience laughs]

943
00:42:39,473 --> 00:42:41,183
Older guys are just better.

944
00:42:41,267 --> 00:42:43,978
They're just better, you never
have to ask them to buy Pepto Bismol,

945
00:42:44,061 --> 00:42:45,729
- they just have it in the house.
- [audience laughs]

946
00:42:46,355 --> 00:42:48,357
They pull it out after dinner
like a nightcap,

947
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:49,733
like, "You want some pink juice,
baby girl?"

948
00:42:49,817 --> 00:42:51,277
You're like, "Yes, I would, cheers."

949
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:52,736
[audience laughs]

950
00:42:52,820 --> 00:42:55,239
Older guys don't call
you things like "cute" or "hot."

951
00:42:55,322 --> 00:42:58,492
They call you things like
"stunning, gorgeous," shit with syllables,

952
00:42:58,576 --> 00:43:02,329
things that would take a 20-something guy
a little while to settle down.

953
00:43:02,413 --> 00:43:03,664
[audience laughs]

954
00:43:03,747 --> 00:43:07,126
And older guys aren't like, cute
or hot either. You know, they're handsome,

955
00:43:07,209 --> 00:43:10,838
distinguished, like old pictures of your
grandpa you shouldn't look at too long.

956
00:43:10,921 --> 00:43:16,176
[audience laughs]

957
00:43:16,260 --> 00:43:18,679
You ever find one of those
in an old dusty box?

958
00:43:18,762 --> 00:43:20,431
You're like, "Who is that?

959
00:43:20,514 --> 00:43:23,309
- Oh, that's wrong. Okay."
- [audience laughs]

960
00:43:23,392 --> 00:43:25,603
They're not your family
in those pictures yet.

961
00:43:25,686 --> 00:43:28,022
They're just the past, it is a gray area.

962
00:43:28,105 --> 00:43:30,065
[audience laughs]

963
00:43:30,149 --> 00:43:31,317
Oh, I'll get weirder.

964
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,611
You ever see a picture of your parents
when they were young and hot?

965
00:43:33,694 --> 00:43:35,154
And you get like weirdly mad

966
00:43:35,237 --> 00:43:38,324
'cause you know
they would've never dated you?

967
00:43:38,407 --> 00:43:39,700
[audience laughs]

968
00:43:39,783 --> 00:43:41,994
I saw a picture of my dad
in college football once.

969
00:43:42,077 --> 00:43:43,078
I didn't talk to him for three weeks.

970
00:43:43,162 --> 00:43:46,707
I'm like, "You would've left me at a
drive-in, you Danny Zuko piece of shit!"

971
00:43:46,790 --> 00:43:50,169
[audience laughs]

972
00:43:50,252 --> 00:43:52,087
He's like, "What?" I'm like,
"I can't hug you for a year

973
00:43:52,171 --> 00:43:53,547
and I don't want to talk about it."

974
00:43:53,631 --> 00:43:56,175
[audience laughs]

975
00:43:56,258 --> 00:43:58,594
It's always awkward getting
into a new relationship, though,

976
00:43:58,677 --> 00:44:00,679
especially right after
you called off an engagement

977
00:44:00,763 --> 00:44:04,725
because you don't feel like you can say
any cheesy romantic crap ever again.

978
00:44:04,808 --> 00:44:07,478
Even if you feel it, you just feel like
you're a jinx.

979
00:44:07,561 --> 00:44:09,396
So when the next person is like,
"I wanna be with you forever."

980
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,149
You're like,
"Oh, wouldn't that be something?

981
00:44:12,232 --> 00:44:14,151
[audience laughs]

982
00:44:14,234 --> 00:44:16,820
I can't… I can't use the F-word anymore

983
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:20,074
but I just need to build
my credit back up but…

984
00:44:20,157 --> 00:44:23,452
- [audience laughs]
- samesies, bro, for sure."

985
00:44:24,620 --> 00:44:25,913
New relationships are awkward

986
00:44:25,996 --> 00:44:28,248
'cause you gotta tell a whole
new person what you like in bed

987
00:44:28,332 --> 00:44:29,625
and the only reason you know
what you like in bed

988
00:44:29,708 --> 00:44:31,877
is 'cause someone
else did it to you first.

989
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:33,921
- [audience laughs]
- But you can't say it like that, right?

990
00:44:34,004 --> 00:44:35,714
You gotta do that
cute little tap dance of like,

991
00:44:35,798 --> 00:44:38,175
"Oh, babe, you know what would be so fun

992
00:44:38,258 --> 00:44:40,844
that's never even occurred to me before?"

993
00:44:40,928 --> 00:44:43,972
"You know what your body
is inspiring me to do right now?"

994
00:44:44,056 --> 00:44:45,140
But in your head, you're just like,

995
00:44:45,224 --> 00:44:48,352
- "Do it like Craig. Could you just…"
- [audience laughs]

996
00:44:48,435 --> 00:44:51,021
"Do it how Craig did it every time?"

997
00:44:51,105 --> 00:44:53,649
"Craig didn't do shit right,
he did that right, let me tell you."

998
00:44:53,732 --> 00:44:55,275
"Can we just call him?"

999
00:44:55,359 --> 00:44:57,403
- "Can we just call him and ask?"
- [audience laughs]

1000
00:44:57,486 --> 00:44:59,947
"It's not a big deal,
we're all adults here."

1001
00:45:00,030 --> 00:45:02,241
"Remember
we reset the Wi-Fi router last month?"

1002
00:45:02,324 --> 00:45:05,869
"It's just like that, babe. He's just
a voice on the phone with the password."

1003
00:45:05,953 --> 00:45:07,996
- [audience laughs]
- "That's all he is to me now."

1004
00:45:10,332 --> 00:45:13,293
"No, I did block his number
when you asked me to, of course I did."

1005
00:45:13,377 --> 00:45:14,628
"But when you block a number,

1006
00:45:14,711 --> 00:45:17,673
your phone kinda just saves
it in a different folder."

1007
00:45:17,756 --> 00:45:18,841
[audience laughs]

1008
00:45:19,425 --> 00:45:22,970
Oh, some of us are gonna fight in the car,
not everybody knew that.

1009
00:45:23,053 --> 00:45:25,848
[audience laughs]

1010
00:45:25,931 --> 00:45:27,850
You have to be able to talk about
what you like in bed

1011
00:45:27,933 --> 00:45:30,769
and you have to know
what you can and can't say,

1012
00:45:30,853 --> 00:45:34,440
alright? Like I've been telling guys for
years I like it a little rougher in bed.

1013
00:45:34,523 --> 00:45:35,691
I don't say it like that, I say like,

1014
00:45:35,774 --> 00:45:38,819
- "Oh, I'm damaged," you know.
- [audience laughs]

1015
00:45:38,902 --> 00:45:40,404
If you're a straight guy, don't say that.

1016
00:45:40,487 --> 00:45:42,156
If a straight dude's like,
[in low voice] "I'm damaged,"

1017
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,450
fucking run! That guy…

1018
00:45:44,533 --> 00:45:46,994
that guy wants your toes in a baggy. So…

1019
00:45:47,077 --> 00:45:49,997
[audience laughs]

1020
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:52,541
Sometimes you think you like something
and you don't.

1021
00:45:52,624 --> 00:45:54,418
I thought I like dirty talk, turns out,

1022
00:45:54,501 --> 00:45:58,005
I just like dirty phrases
we agreed upon earlier.

1023
00:45:58,088 --> 00:45:59,131
[audience laughs]

1024
00:45:59,214 --> 00:46:00,549
You ever tell someone you like dirty talk

1025
00:46:00,632 --> 00:46:01,925
and then they hit you
with something in bed

1026
00:46:02,009 --> 00:46:05,012
and you're like, "Nah,
that was not approved by corporate, no."

1027
00:46:05,095 --> 00:46:07,389
[audience laughs]

1028
00:46:09,141 --> 00:46:12,311
I was having sex with a guy once,
I was on top and he just went,

1029
00:46:12,394 --> 00:46:14,521
[shouting] "Look at you!"

1030
00:46:14,605 --> 00:46:18,066
[audience laughs]

1031
00:46:27,534 --> 00:46:33,457
[audience laughs, cheers]

1032
00:46:42,758 --> 00:46:46,386
- Like I was taking my first steps.
- [audience laughs]

1033
00:46:47,095 --> 00:46:50,057
I'm like,
"You better get the camcorder, daddy,

1034
00:46:50,140 --> 00:46:52,059
'cause I am never getting up here again."

1035
00:46:52,142 --> 00:46:54,228
[audience laughs]

1036
00:46:54,811 --> 00:46:57,189
My parents don't watch me
do stand-up anymore, don't worry.

1037
00:46:57,272 --> 00:46:58,482
[audience laughs]

1038
00:46:58,565 --> 00:46:59,733
Don't worry, they're not interested.

1039
00:46:59,816 --> 00:47:01,568
No Christian parents want
to watch their daughter

1040
00:47:01,652 --> 00:47:04,530
talk about depression and dick
for an hour. It's not fun for them.

1041
00:47:04,613 --> 00:47:06,490
[audience laughs]

1042
00:47:07,491 --> 00:47:10,327
My parents don't have
a dark sense of humor

1043
00:47:10,410 --> 00:47:12,788
and I do, and I'm glad I do because

1044
00:47:12,871 --> 00:47:15,082
if you can laugh at the darkest stuff
that's ever happened to you

1045
00:47:15,165 --> 00:47:18,335
while it's still
actively happening to you,

1046
00:47:18,418 --> 00:47:21,213
sometimes that's what gets you through it.
For example,

1047
00:47:21,296 --> 00:47:23,048
here's a joke they will not like.

1048
00:47:23,131 --> 00:47:25,008
[audience laughs]

1049
00:47:25,092 --> 00:47:29,054
Did you guys know that sometimes
when you call a suicide hotline

1050
00:47:29,137 --> 00:47:32,349
and the call drops,
they do not call you back?

1051
00:47:32,432 --> 00:47:34,226
[audience laughs]

1052
00:47:34,309 --> 00:47:37,187
Yeah, you think
that'd be the time for star 69

1053
00:47:37,271 --> 00:47:39,189
but sometimes they just ring a bell
in the cubicle,

1054
00:47:39,273 --> 00:47:41,858
like, "Lost another one, that's lunch!"

1055
00:47:41,942 --> 00:47:43,735
[audience laughs]

1056
00:47:43,819 --> 00:47:46,071
Some of you are tensing up like,
"Did that really happen?" Yeah,

1057
00:47:46,154 --> 00:47:49,199
a few years ago
and it was fucking hilarious.

1058
00:47:49,283 --> 00:47:51,410
I was on the floor of a DoubleTree Hotel,

1059
00:47:51,493 --> 00:47:55,122
like, "Did this bitch just ghost me while
I'm trying to ghost myself?"

1060
00:47:55,205 --> 00:47:56,582
- "That is…"
- [audience laughs]

1061
00:47:56,665 --> 00:47:59,501
"I mean, I've been left on read,
I've never been left for dead."

1062
00:47:59,585 --> 00:48:00,877
"That's a new one."

1063
00:48:00,961 --> 00:48:03,297
- [audience laughs]
- "That is brutal."

1064
00:48:03,380 --> 00:48:06,758
I wasn't even mad. For all I know,
that's how they train those volunteers.

1065
00:48:06,842 --> 00:48:08,510
Like, "Hey, some nights,

1066
00:48:08,594 --> 00:48:11,888
- we get too many calls.
- [audience laughs]

1067
00:48:11,972 --> 00:48:14,683
Fridays are big for us,
in those situations,

1068
00:48:14,766 --> 00:48:16,935
you're just gonna have to use
your best judgment,

1069
00:48:17,019 --> 00:48:21,023
alright? Like I usually wait
for like a privileged white girl name,

1070
00:48:21,106 --> 00:48:23,567
like a Chelsea, a Kelsey, a Taylor.

1071
00:48:23,650 --> 00:48:27,863
Those are the salmon I throw back
and hope they swim upstream on their own."

1072
00:48:27,946 --> 00:48:31,658
[audience laughs]

1073
00:48:31,742 --> 00:48:34,703
Even if I was mad, what am I gonna do,
hop on Yelp? Like,

1074
00:48:34,786 --> 00:48:37,039
"One star, totally killed myself.

1075
00:48:37,122 --> 00:48:41,168
[audience laughs]

1076
00:48:41,251 --> 00:48:43,712
You're gonna wish I killed myself
after this review."

1077
00:48:43,795 --> 00:48:45,130
[audience laughs]

1078
00:48:45,213 --> 00:48:47,424
I did that joke in Texas a few weeks ago

1079
00:48:47,507 --> 00:48:50,594
and there was a girl, white, my age
in the crowd who goes,

1080
00:48:50,677 --> 00:48:53,263
[shouting]
"And the wait times are ridiculous!"

1081
00:48:53,347 --> 00:48:58,185
[audience laughs]

1082
00:48:58,268 --> 00:49:00,646
And she's right, okay? I think,

1083
00:49:00,729 --> 00:49:02,981
personally,
I think if you are a frequent caller,

1084
00:49:03,065 --> 00:49:05,859
there should be
some sort of rewards program.

1085
00:49:05,942 --> 00:49:08,445
You know,
like when you show loyalty to an airline.

1086
00:49:08,528 --> 00:49:10,405
Like, you should be
able to do that with suicide hotlines

1087
00:49:10,489 --> 00:49:11,615
where you call in and they're like,

1088
00:49:11,698 --> 00:49:13,450
[in robotic voice]
"Please enter your rewards number."

1089
00:49:13,533 --> 00:49:14,701
Boop, boop, boop.

1090
00:49:14,785 --> 00:49:17,162
"Welcome back… [sobbing] Taylor.

1091
00:49:17,245 --> 00:49:18,163
[audience laughs]

1092
00:49:24,961 --> 00:49:27,839
Thank you
for your diamond medallion status.

1093
00:49:27,923 --> 00:49:30,425
You are now third in line.

1094
00:49:30,509 --> 00:49:34,596
Would you like to use an upgrade
and kick someone else out?

1095
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,974
[audience laughs]

1096
00:49:43,480 --> 00:49:47,109
My parents are still very, very religious.

1097
00:49:47,192 --> 00:49:48,193
My dad was so religious growing up,

1098
00:49:48,276 --> 00:49:51,780
he used to insist on praying out loud
in restaurants before we ate dinner,

1099
00:49:51,863 --> 00:49:54,282
which is fine if you're into that
but keep it short.

1100
00:49:54,366 --> 00:49:55,450
- [audience laughs]
- He wouldn't do that.

1101
00:49:55,534 --> 00:49:59,162
He would do long,
drawn-out prayers full of personal details

1102
00:49:59,246 --> 00:50:01,248
that none of us signed off on at the table

1103
00:50:01,331 --> 00:50:04,376
which made puberty pretty rough
with your dad in public just like,

1104
00:50:04,459 --> 00:50:07,212
"Thank you Lord for this food.
Thank you for bringing us here together.

1105
00:50:07,295 --> 00:50:09,548
[shouting]
Thank you that Taylor's a woman now

1106
00:50:09,631 --> 00:50:12,134
and is getting the help she needs
in math." I'm like,

1107
00:50:12,217 --> 00:50:16,596
"Can you not tell this Chipotle
that I'm bleeding and can't subtract?

1108
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,891
[audience laughs]

1109
00:50:19,975 --> 00:50:22,436
I think God knows."

1110
00:50:22,519 --> 00:50:24,354
It's why I don't feel bad telling jokes

1111
00:50:24,438 --> 00:50:26,565
about my parents on stage now
'cause anytime they're like,

1112
00:50:26,648 --> 00:50:29,234
"Do you have to air our dirty laundry
in front of strangers?"

1113
00:50:29,317 --> 00:50:32,237
I'm like, "Hometown Buffet, 1998.

1114
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,406
[audience laughs]

1115
00:50:34,489 --> 00:50:36,616
You told everyone
within a five-booth radius

1116
00:50:36,700 --> 00:50:38,785
that I shat my pants the night before.

1117
00:50:38,869 --> 00:50:39,953
[audience laughs]

1118
00:50:40,036 --> 00:50:43,039
- I can say whatever I want.
- [audience laughs]

1119
00:50:45,500 --> 00:50:47,002
I'm not religious anymore.

1120
00:50:47,085 --> 00:50:51,214
I have had some friends find religion as
adults recently which is very upsetting.

1121
00:50:51,298 --> 00:50:52,841
- [inhales deeply]
- [audience laughs]

1122
00:50:52,924 --> 00:50:56,720
If you grew up religious and
you're not anymore and your adult friends

1123
00:50:56,803 --> 00:51:00,307
find religion, it feels like God
is your shitty ex-boyfriend

1124
00:51:00,390 --> 00:51:02,768
who's now getting it together
for your friend

1125
00:51:02,851 --> 00:51:06,146
and you just have to watch it happen
on Facebook.

1126
00:51:06,229 --> 00:51:08,690
They're like,
"Have you met God? He's amazing."

1127
00:51:08,774 --> 00:51:12,444
I'm like, "Yeah, I grew up with God,
he's a douchebag, alright?

1128
00:51:12,527 --> 00:51:15,197
Did he tell you you were broken
and you need him?

1129
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,991
- That's his move. That's what he does.
- [audience laughs]

1130
00:51:18,074 --> 00:51:20,118
He says that to everybody.

1131
00:51:20,202 --> 00:51:22,954
Don't drink what he gives you.
You drink that, the next thing you know,

1132
00:51:23,038 --> 00:51:26,833
you're eating his body, the holy spirit's
inside you, it's a whole system they have

1133
00:51:26,917 --> 00:51:30,587
- over at that frat house they call church.
- [audience laughs]

1134
00:51:30,670 --> 00:51:33,757
- Who else uses Roman numerals?"
- [audience laughs]

1135
00:51:35,342 --> 00:51:38,261
That joke makes it sound
like I resent my religious upbringing

1136
00:51:38,345 --> 00:51:40,764
and I do, so I nailed it. But…

1137
00:51:40,847 --> 00:51:46,520
[audience cheers, claps]

1138
00:51:46,603 --> 00:51:50,273
No, honestly,
if I had to come up with some stuff

1139
00:51:50,357 --> 00:51:52,400
that was like positive
about my growing up religious,

1140
00:51:52,484 --> 00:51:55,612
I'm sure I could with enough time
and money but…

1141
00:51:55,695 --> 00:51:56,863
[audience laughs]

1142
00:51:56,947 --> 00:52:00,534
I do have some issues with it.
It gave me some serious trust issues

1143
00:52:00,617 --> 00:52:03,411
and it just made me weird,
growing up in church,

1144
00:52:03,495 --> 00:52:05,455
in ways that I am still discovering.

1145
00:52:05,539 --> 00:52:08,375
For example, I just found out
that I masturbate wrong.

1146
00:52:08,458 --> 00:52:09,543
[audience laughs]

1147
00:52:09,626 --> 00:52:11,878
I will back up. Okay, so…

1148
00:52:11,962 --> 00:52:14,464
[audience laughs]

1149
00:52:14,548 --> 00:52:16,341
When I was growing up in church,

1150
00:52:16,424 --> 00:52:18,635
kids had youth group and at youth group,
they were like,

1151
00:52:18,718 --> 00:52:21,471
"Don't have sex." And we were like,
"For sure, for sure."

1152
00:52:21,555 --> 00:52:24,099
And then, they were like,
"Don't even masturbate."

1153
00:52:24,182 --> 00:52:27,394
And all the girls were like, "Okay,
we didn't even know that we could."

1154
00:52:27,477 --> 00:52:30,063
- [audience laughs]
- And all the boys were like, "Why?"

1155
00:52:30,146 --> 00:52:33,400
- And…
- [audience laughs]

1156
00:52:33,483 --> 00:52:36,027
the way they explained it to us was,

1157
00:52:36,111 --> 00:52:37,487
our youth pastor told us, he goes,

1158
00:52:37,571 --> 00:52:41,533
"It's not the physical act of masturbating
that's the sin, you guys, alright?

1159
00:52:41,616 --> 00:52:43,785
It's not even the orgasm.
In fact, if you have a wet dream,

1160
00:52:43,869 --> 00:52:46,454
thank God for the freebie
and have an awesome day.

1161
00:52:46,538 --> 00:52:47,414
[audience laughs]

1162
00:52:47,497 --> 00:52:50,959
But what are you thinking about
while you're doing that to yourself, guys?

1163
00:52:52,377 --> 00:52:54,296
[scattered laughs]

1164
00:52:54,379 --> 00:52:56,423
That's what the sin is.

1165
00:52:56,506 --> 00:52:58,592
It's the lust in your heart.

1166
00:52:58,675 --> 00:53:01,344
It's the impure thoughts in your head.

1167
00:53:01,428 --> 00:53:03,471
That is what the sin is."

1168
00:53:03,555 --> 00:53:08,059
So when I got to be an adult and I wanted
to masturbate, I was like, "Well,

1169
00:53:08,852 --> 00:53:10,687
if I just don't think about anything,

1170
00:53:10,770 --> 00:53:16,151
[audience laughs]

1171
00:53:16,234 --> 00:53:18,695
I could probably still go to heaven,
right?

1172
00:53:18,778 --> 00:53:22,616
Just like, clear your mind, get in there,
get it done,

1173
00:53:22,699 --> 00:53:25,243
- see you soon, Jesus, right?
- [audience laughs]

1174
00:53:25,327 --> 00:53:27,120
Touch nothing but the lamb."

1175
00:53:27,203 --> 00:53:29,456
[audience laughs]

1176
00:53:31,124 --> 00:53:35,795
[audience claps, cheers]

1177
00:53:35,879 --> 00:53:38,548
So I've been doing this
my entire adult life.

1178
00:53:38,632 --> 00:53:41,885
All my friends are like, "You gotta
meditate." I'm like, "I think I do."

1179
00:53:41,968 --> 00:53:42,969
[audience laughs]

1180
00:53:43,053 --> 00:53:45,096
And I do mean my entire adult life,

1181
00:53:45,180 --> 00:53:47,515
by the way. I did not masturbate
until I was a grown woman.

1182
00:53:47,599 --> 00:53:50,352
I was that afraid of going to hell,
alright?

1183
00:53:50,435 --> 00:53:53,897
Yeah. I had my first orgasm
with my college boyfriend.

1184
00:53:53,980 --> 00:53:57,609
Do you know how embarrassing that is to
get your first orgasm from another person?

1185
00:53:57,692 --> 00:54:01,154
That's like having a realtor
show you your own house.

1186
00:54:01,237 --> 00:54:02,906
[audience laughs]

1187
00:54:03,615 --> 00:54:05,617
They're like, "And over here,
we have a second bathroom."

1188
00:54:05,700 --> 00:54:08,620
- You're like, "A second bathroom?"
- [audience laughs]

1189
00:54:08,703 --> 00:54:10,747
"You've been here for 19 years,

1190
00:54:10,830 --> 00:54:12,457
you never went poking around on your own?"

1191
00:54:12,540 --> 00:54:15,085
You're like, "I did once
but I thought Jesus would get mad,

1192
00:54:15,168 --> 00:54:17,629
- [audience laughs]
- so yeah, I don't actually own this place,

1193
00:54:17,712 --> 00:54:20,340
I'm just renting it from the guy upstairs,
and…

1194
00:54:20,423 --> 00:54:22,384
if I flood the basement, I do not

1195
00:54:22,467 --> 00:54:24,761
get my security deposit back, so…

1196
00:54:24,844 --> 00:54:27,097
[audience laughs]

1197
00:54:27,180 --> 00:54:29,224
Is there anything else I should see
while you're here?"

1198
00:54:29,307 --> 00:54:30,976
She's like, "Yeah, let me
show you the doorbell."

1199
00:54:31,059 --> 00:54:32,894
I'm like,
"Oh, is the doorbell even important?"

1200
00:54:32,978 --> 00:54:36,731
She's like, "The doorbell
is the only thing that matters.

1201
00:54:36,815 --> 00:54:40,235
[audience laughs, claps]

1202
00:54:40,318 --> 00:54:43,738
Nobody comes inside
without touching the doorbell."

1203
00:54:43,822 --> 00:54:48,952
[audience laughs]

1204
00:54:49,035 --> 00:54:50,328
"Oh, but I did touch it."

1205
00:54:50,412 --> 00:54:52,205
"You didn't
use enough pressure, it didn't light up."

1206
00:54:52,288 --> 00:54:54,874
[audience laughs]

1207
00:54:56,918 --> 00:54:59,087
So I've been masturbating like this
my entire adult life

1208
00:54:59,170 --> 00:55:01,214
and I recently mentioned it
to a friend of mine

1209
00:55:01,297 --> 00:55:04,009
and you ever say something out loud
and realize you never should have ever?

1210
00:55:04,092 --> 00:55:05,301
[audience laughs]

1211
00:55:05,385 --> 00:55:08,221
I said it so casually over brunch,
didn't even think about it. I was like,

1212
00:55:08,304 --> 00:55:10,432
"Oh yeah, I mean, I don't think
about anything while I do that."

1213
00:55:10,515 --> 00:55:13,393
And she was like, "What?"
She put her fork down. "What?

1214
00:55:13,476 --> 00:55:15,478
[audience laughs]

1215
00:55:15,562 --> 00:55:17,397
You don't think about anything?"
And I was like,

1216
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:19,941
"Oh, no,
I mean, I think some stuff, obviously.

1217
00:55:20,025 --> 00:55:21,401
And she was like,
"What do you think about?"

1218
00:55:21,484 --> 00:55:25,989
And I was like, "Oh, you know, just like,
'almost there, making good time.'

1219
00:55:26,072 --> 00:55:29,159
[audience laughs]

1220
00:55:29,242 --> 00:55:31,494
You know, just like road trip thoughts,
like…

1221
00:55:31,578 --> 00:55:34,706
'keep your hands steady,
don't fall asleep.

1222
00:55:34,789 --> 00:55:36,541
Can't wait to get there so I can eat.

1223
00:55:36,624 --> 00:55:37,834
[audience laughs]

1224
00:55:37,917 --> 00:55:40,754
Better hurry up, Taco Bell's gonna close,'
you know."

1225
00:55:40,837 --> 00:55:42,922
[audience laughs]

1226
00:55:45,550 --> 00:55:47,343
And she was like,
"That is so weird, Taylor,

1227
00:55:47,427 --> 00:55:50,430
why don't you just watch porn
like a normal person?"

1228
00:55:50,513 --> 00:55:51,931
And I was like, "Ugh, I don't like porn."

1229
00:55:52,015 --> 00:55:53,600
Every time I try to watch porn,
I'm just like,

1230
00:55:53,683 --> 00:55:55,393
"You gotta shave there, too?

1231
00:55:55,477 --> 00:55:57,437
- [audience laughs]
- I'm tired and I'm cold."

1232
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,149
And I'm not against porn, okay?
I'm not one of these people that's like,

1233
00:56:01,232 --> 00:56:03,401
"If you watch porn,
it will ruin your relationship."

1234
00:56:03,485 --> 00:56:04,819
I don't feel that way, alright?

1235
00:56:04,903 --> 00:56:07,113
I dated a guy once
who was really into massage porn

1236
00:56:07,197 --> 00:56:09,574
where the masseuse would like fuck
their client at the end

1237
00:56:09,657 --> 00:56:11,409
which means sometimes when we had sex,

1238
00:56:11,493 --> 00:56:13,578
I get a massage!

1239
00:56:13,661 --> 00:56:17,373
[audience laughs, cheers]

1240
00:56:18,458 --> 00:56:22,587
That's an example of porn working for you!

1241
00:56:22,670 --> 00:56:24,547
[audience laughs]

1242
00:56:24,631 --> 00:56:27,634
But my friend was like horrified.
She was like, "Taylor,

1243
00:56:27,717 --> 00:56:30,720
- this like monk masturbation thing you do,
- [audience laughs]

1244
00:56:30,804 --> 00:56:33,389
it is so much creepier and weirder

1245
00:56:33,473 --> 00:56:37,102
than any porn I've ever seen
and I've seen most of it."

1246
00:56:37,185 --> 00:56:38,561
[audience laughs]

1247
00:56:38,645 --> 00:56:41,898
And she goes, "There are so many different
options porn-wise on the internet now,

1248
00:56:41,981 --> 00:56:46,194
you… just go home and Google
'porn for women' okay?

1249
00:56:46,277 --> 00:56:48,446
Just do it, I promise, 'porn for women.'"

1250
00:56:48,530 --> 00:56:51,157
And so I went home
and I googled porn for women

1251
00:56:51,241 --> 00:56:53,034
so I wouldn't be weird at brunch.

1252
00:56:53,118 --> 00:56:55,703
[audience laughs]

1253
00:56:59,249 --> 00:57:02,085
And a lot of surprising things came up
when I googled it.

1254
00:57:02,168 --> 00:57:04,170
First thing that came up
when I googled porn for women

1255
00:57:04,254 --> 00:57:06,840
was a link to Disney Plus
where all the Avengers movies are.

1256
00:57:06,923 --> 00:57:08,800
- Now…
- [audience laughs]

1257
00:57:08,883 --> 00:57:12,512
For me, personally, they jump around
too much. There's too many storylines.

1258
00:57:12,595 --> 00:57:15,431
You're almost there with Loki and now
we're on Captain America? It's like,

1259
00:57:15,515 --> 00:57:16,391
I have to start over.

1260
00:57:16,474 --> 00:57:19,352
That's a different speed, a different
pressure and now there's a raccoon?

1261
00:57:19,435 --> 00:57:22,021
- No.
- [audience laughs]

1262
00:57:22,939 --> 00:57:26,109
The second thing that came up
when I googled porn for women

1263
00:57:26,192 --> 00:57:28,653
was a website where real-life couples

1264
00:57:28,736 --> 00:57:31,030
are uploading amateur sex tapes. Yeah,

1265
00:57:31,114 --> 00:57:35,910
real-life couples are like,
"Hey, we're so happy and in love,

1266
00:57:35,994 --> 00:57:39,998
we thought that we would film ourselves
making love

1267
00:57:40,081 --> 00:57:43,918
and then put it online for you,
a lonely person.

1268
00:57:44,002 --> 00:57:47,172
- [audience laughs]
- Is it working? Are you wet?"

1269
00:57:47,255 --> 00:57:49,674
And you're like,
"Not in the right place, no.

1270
00:57:49,757 --> 00:57:50,925
[audience laughs]

1271
00:57:51,009 --> 00:57:54,721
But congratulations,
what you have seems really special."

1272
00:57:54,804 --> 00:57:55,722
[audience laughs]

1273
00:57:55,805 --> 00:57:58,224
The last thing that came up
when I googled porn for women

1274
00:57:58,308 --> 00:58:01,394
I did not know existed,
it's something called audio porn.

1275
00:58:01,478 --> 00:58:04,522
It's exactly what it sounds like.
There's no visual aspect, it's all audio.

1276
00:58:04,606 --> 00:58:07,525
It's not really a porn star,
it's more like a porn voice actor

1277
00:58:07,609 --> 00:58:09,903
talking you through a sexy situation.

1278
00:58:09,986 --> 00:58:13,281
It's like a podcast
except don't listen while you're driving.

1279
00:58:13,364 --> 00:58:15,408
[audience laughs]

1280
00:58:15,492 --> 00:58:18,953
And because it's "for women,"
that just means there's a story, right?

1281
00:58:19,037 --> 00:58:22,332
- Anyone can watch, they don't check.
- [audience laughs]

1282
00:58:22,415 --> 00:58:23,750
They don't just hop on the mic like,

1283
00:58:23,833 --> 00:58:26,461
[shouting]
"Now it's out, bitch!" Like they

1284
00:58:26,544 --> 00:58:28,046
ease you into it.

1285
00:58:28,755 --> 00:58:33,176
And so the one I found is 20 minutes long.

1286
00:58:33,259 --> 00:58:35,720
I will send it to you if you DM me.

1287
00:58:35,803 --> 00:58:37,764
[audience laughs]

1288
00:58:37,847 --> 00:58:40,642
And the first 12 minutes,

1289
00:58:40,725 --> 00:58:46,439
the story, is just a man calming you down

1290
00:58:46,523 --> 00:58:48,566
[audience laughs]

1291
00:58:48,650 --> 00:58:52,070
after you've been in a car wreck.

1292
00:58:52,153 --> 00:58:56,115
[audience laughs]

1293
00:58:59,369 --> 00:59:01,538
That is the foreplay.

1294
00:59:01,621 --> 00:59:03,081
[audience laughs]

1295
00:59:03,790 --> 00:59:07,335
And you guys, I came so hard. I…

1296
00:59:07,418 --> 00:59:09,754
[audience laughs, claps]

1297
00:59:09,837 --> 00:59:11,381
I mean,

1298
00:59:12,382 --> 00:59:14,425
I didn't even make it to the sex part.

1299
00:59:14,509 --> 00:59:16,010
It was the comfort alone.

1300
00:59:16,094 --> 00:59:19,222
He's like, "It's okay,
take some deep breaths, don't worry."

1301
00:59:19,305 --> 00:59:22,559
"The insurance companies
will figure it out."

1302
00:59:22,642 --> 00:59:23,977
I'm like, "Oh my God, that's right!"

1303
00:59:24,060 --> 00:59:26,521
[shouting] "That's why we have insurance!"

1304
00:59:26,604 --> 00:59:29,983
By the time he was like, "What else
can I do? Should I go down on you?"

1305
00:59:30,066 --> 00:59:33,528
I was like, "Nah, man, I got Allstate,
I'm in good hands."

1306
00:59:33,611 --> 00:59:35,280
[audience laughs]

1307
00:59:35,363 --> 00:59:38,032
Thank you so much, Boston,
you were absolutely amazing.

1308
00:59:38,116 --> 00:59:40,326
- [audience cheers]
- Thank you so much.

1309
00:59:41,035 --> 00:59:44,163
I can't tell you, I really appreciate you.
Thank you.

1310
00:59:44,247 --> 00:59:46,916
- [upbeat music]
- [audience cheers]

1311
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:49,752
You guys were amazing.
Thank you so much, seriously.

1312
00:59:49,836 --> 00:59:53,131
[audience claps, cheers]

1313
01:00:40,637 --> 01:00:42,972
[upbeat music continues]
