>> HI, HI GUYS.

>> HOW ARE YOU?

>> OH, GOOD.

I'M GOOD.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.

IT'S JOYOUS TO SEE YOU.

>> IT'S SO JOYOUS TO SEE YOU GUYS TOO.

>> James: WE'RE SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU.

BECAUSE THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU WAS, IT WAS VERY, VERY EARLY

COVID, WASN'T IT.

>> YEAH, YEAH.

>> James: WE WERE BOTH ON A WALK AT THE SORT OF TOP OF MY

ROAD.

>> WHICH IS THE FIRST TRICKY PART OF THE STORY.

LIKE WHEN HAVE WE EVER, EVER BUMPED INTO EACH OTHER ON A WALK

SWRZ NO, NEVER.

>> BEFORE COVID I DON'T THINK I EVER TOOK A WALK.

>> James: NO, NO ONE DID.

BUT ALSO THERE WERE A FEW PEOPLE, BECAUSE IT WAS A HIKE AT

THE TOP OF THAT ROAD.

PEOPLE WERE WALKING AROUND GOING, WELL, I GUESS IN IS WHAT

WE DO NOW, JUST WALK AROUND.

>> WALK AND-- AND THEN THAT WAS RIGHT BEFORE THE MASKS, THE

SERIOUS THING, SO PEOPLE WERE SILL FREE STYLING IT.

AND ONCE YOU HAD TO WEAR THE MASK AND WALKING I'M LIKE I'M

DONE WALKING, IT WAS LIKE TALK WITH SOMEBODY WHILE YOU ARE

SPITTING ON YOURSELF, MY MASKS AL SMELL LIKE CANNABIS, EVERY

TIME I PUT THEM ON.

OH, I FORGOT.

THIS IS WHAT SOMEBODY IS DEALING WITH ALL THE TIME.

>> James: THAT SOUNDS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, CAN I

BORROW SOME OF YOUR MASKS?

>> Reggie: ABSOLUTELY.

>> James: JUST SO I CAN HAVE THAT SENSATION.

>> Reggie: OF COURSE SWRZ I WOULD LOVE THAT.

>> REG, WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE, RIGHT, YOU CAN HEAR ME, RIGHT?

>> OH HELL YEAH.

>> THE SAME VIBE GOING FOR SURE.

>> James: WELL, YOU ARE NATURALLY I THINK A VERY SOCIAL

PERSON, YOU LIKE HAVING PLANS, YOU LIKE GOING OUT.

HOW IS YOUR SOCIAL LIFE AND YOUR DATING LIFE, HOW HAS IT CHANGED

DURING COVID.

>> WELL, I HAVEN'T HAD SEX IN A REALLY LONG TIME.

I MEAN SINCE COVID STARTED.

>> James: SINCE MARCH.

>> I THINK MARCH, I WENT SKIING LAST YEAR IN MARCH.

I WAS ON A SKI DATE WEEKEND AND THAT WAS THE LAST TIME THAT I

EXPERIENCED PENETRATION OF ANY KIND.

>> James: WOW.

>> ACTUALLY I TAKE THATK BA, FASSAL PENETRATION I HAVE HAD A

LOT OF BECAUSE OF THE DING BUT THAT IS THE NO NOT THE SAME

THING, YOU KNOW THAT IS NOT THE SAME THING.

>> James: NO, IT TURNS ME ON BUT IT DOESN'T GET ME THE WHOLE

WAY THERE.

>> IT IS LIKE HALF A STORY, WE ARE LIKE CAN WE LAND THE PLANE

AND FINISH THUP ON THE OTHER SIDE OR BACK BACK AROUND,

SOMETHING.

>> James: SO DO YOU LOOK BACK ON THE SKI TRIP AND THINK OH, I

SHOULD HAVE PUT THAT IN A BIT MORE.

>> I SHOULD HAVE HAD MORE SEX THAT WEEKEND.

>> NO, I DON'T THINK ABOUT IT THAT WAY, I JUST THINK WHEN ARE

WE GOING TO GET TO A REGULAR PLACE AGAIN.

HAVE I DPON ON A COUPLE OF SOCIAL DISTANCING WALKING DATES

WHICH ARE EVEN CREEPIER THAN THEY SOUND.

I DON'T WANT TO GO ON A WALK TO GETS TO KNOW SFNLT I WANT TO

HAVE A DRINK.

SO I HAVE A NICE BACKYARD SO I CAN INVITE PEOPLE THERE.

BUT I HAVEN'T MET, I HAVE BEEN TEST THE WATERS A LITTLE BUT I

HAVE TO MEET SOMEBODY, THE LAST GUY I THOUGHT SOMETHING COULD

HAPPEN WITH SAID THAT HE DOESN'T THINK MASKS WORK.

SO OBVIOUSLY I CAN'T HAVE SEX WITH SOMEBODY WHO SAYS I DON'T

THINK MASKS, WITHOUT, ONCE YOU SAY THAT, I DON'T CARE IF YOU

CHANGE YOUR MIND, I CAN'T DO IT, IT'S TOO STUPID.

>> IT COULD BE BRAD PITT AND WOULD YOU BE LIKE NO.

>> NO, I TOLD HIM KNOW SEVERAL TIMES, HE KNOWS HOW I FEEL.

>> James: IS THAT TRUE?

>> YES.

>> NO, OF COURSE NOT.

>> I LOVE THAT YOU BELIEVED IT.

>> James: I DID.

>> I THOUGHT YOU WERE WITH ME, UH-HUH.

>> James: NO I BELIEVE THAT BRAD PITT.

>> HI SEX WITH HIM TWICE BEFORE I GOT HERE TODAY.

>> James: SURE, REALLY NOTHING SINCE MARCH.

>> NO, THERE IS NOT A LOT HAPPENING, YOU KNOW, I MEAN I'M

OPEN TO IT FOR SURE BUT I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE, A LOT OF PEOPLE

HAVE HOOKED UP.

MY NIECES AND NEPHEWS HAVE GIRLFRIENDS AND BOYFRIENDS, HEY,

I DON'T WANT TO SOUND LIKE A CROTCH ETY OLD AUNT BUT LIKE

WHEN AM I GOING TO GET MINE, WATCHING YOUR 21 YEAR OLD NIECE

HOOKUP WITH A BLOI FRIEND AND TRYING TO BE HAPPY FOR HER, I

WANT TO HAVE SEX TOO.

YOU KNOW, IT'S LITTLE PATHETIC.

SO BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HOOKING UP DURING COVID AND

HALLELUJAH, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, I AM HAPPY FOR PEOPLE, I'M

GLAD IT IS WORKING OUT.

WE ALL NEED WHATEVER COMFORT WE CAN GET THESE DAYS.

>> SURE, YOU HAVE BEEN SEEKING KART IN QUITE INTERESTING WAYS

BECAUSE IS THIS WHY, YOU RECENTLY WENT ON A SILENT

RETREAT IN MY SPECIAL I TELL A STORY ABOUT BEING DRAGGED TO A

SILENT RETREAT BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF MY BIGGEST FEARS, YOU ARE NOT

FROM HERE SO YOU KNOW HOW STUPID THE CITY CAN BE, RIGHT.

>> SO I'M FROM NEW JERSEY, SO WE DON'T TALK LIKE THIS IN NEW

JERSEY, PEOPLE AREN'T TALKING ABOUT MANIFEST TAITION AND

GRATITUDE AND KALE 24 HOURS A DAY, YOU KNOW.

>> James: YOU'RE RIGHT, YEAH, SOMEONE OPENED A CAFE GRATITUDE.

IT WOULD NOT LAST TWO WEEKS WITHIN OFF THE TURN PIKE, IT

WOULD BE A HOT MESS.

SO YOU KNOW, I'M NOT INTO THAT EITHER.

BUT AND I'M NOT INTO GOING TO A-- BUT MY FRIEND FROM NEW

JERSEY, NEW WERSY IS HOW YOU SAY IT IF SPAIRN, FROM MY HIGH

SCHOOL, WE WANT TO A SILENT RETREAT ONLY BECAUSE AFTER

SPENDING TWO DAYS WITH HER, IN THAT NEW JERSEY ACCENT I WAS

OPENING TO GO TO THE SILENT RETREAT.

>> James: OKAY.

>> SO I DID GO BUT I DIDN'T PARTICIPATE IN THE WAY, THEY HAD

>> James: DON'T EVEN START TO WITH A SOUND BATH.

>> HAVE YOU BEEN.

>> James: I MEAN THIS COMPLETELY WITH ABSOLUTE

SINCERITY A SOUND BATH CAN [BLEEP].

I-- I-- I HATED IT.

MY WIFE GOT ME A SOUND BATH FOR MY BIRTHDAY AND THEN I REALIZED

THEY WERE ETS ISING UP TWO BEDS AND I WENT OH, YOU GOT YOURSELF

A SOUND BATH AND I'M DOING SOMETHING I DON'T WANT TO DO I

WAS WATCHING ALMOST FAMILIAR NEWS BED WHEN SHE SURPRISE

IMMEDIATE WITH IT I WAS NEVER MORE ANG REERKS I WAS LIVID,

SOME DUDE IS GOING-- WITH LIKE BOWLS, I GOT SO ANNOYED I STOOD

UP COMPLETELY NAKED AND WENT SORRY, BUDDY.

AND I WENT BACK.

AND I MISSED THE TINY DANCER SCENE IN ALMOST FAMOUS.

>> FIRST OF ALL, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A SOUND BATH WAS.

>> James: NOR DID I.

>> AND I DON'T WANT ANY PART OF THAT, I THOUGHT IT WAS A BUNCH

OF DJ'S WAS GOING TO RINSE US OFFER, LET'S GO UP TO THE WOODS

AND I GET THERE AND THERE IS ROOM TEMPERATURE WATER AND KALE

CHIPS AND A DRUM CIRCLE AND I'M LIKE I DON'T THINK SCO.

I AM NOT PARTICIPATING IN THIS KIND OF CHICANERY.

>> James: I WOULD SETTLE FOR A REGULAR BATH.

>> I WOULD SETTLE FOR DRUGS.

>> James: FOR SURE.

>> THAT IS WHAT I WOULD PREFER TO DO WITH MY FREE TIME, AND IF

I'M GOING TO A REFREET LET'S GET THE PARTY STARTED.

I'M OPENING TO DO WHATEVER HALL US NO AGAINS WHAT WHAT EVERYBODY

ANYBODY HAS, THAT IS WHAT A TRE TREAT IT FOR IS TO MEDITATE ON

WHATEVER YOU HAVING TO DEAL WITHK AND REFLECT AND

HALLUCINATE.

>> James: YOU HAVE DONE, THIS THE YOU HAVE DONE THE-- THE

IOACTA.

>> ST NOT, THAT IS NOW HOW YOU SAY T IT IS I OW ACTA.

>> James: LET'S CALL THE WHOLE THING OFF.

LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR NEW STANDUP SPECIAL, CHELSEA HANDLER

EVOLUTION, NOW A FEW YEARS AGO I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU HAVE DONE

THIS SPECIAL.

BECAUSE A FEW YEARS AGO YOU SAID YOU WERE DONE WITHSTANDUP.

WHAT CHANGED?

WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?

WHAT MADE YOU THINK NO, I HAVE TO SHOW, I HAVE SOMETHING TO

SAY.

>> I DIDN'T THINK I HAD ANYTHING TO ADD TO THE STANDUP AT THAT

TIME.

AND I WENT ON MY BOOK TOUR AFTER MY MOST RECENT BOOK AND I WAS

HAVING-- BEING ON STAGE BEING INTERVIEWED BY PEOPLE AND

TELLING MY STORY ABOUT STHRPEE WHICH IS HUMILIATING.

AND SELF-DEPRECATING AND HORRIFYING IN ALL THE WAYS I

LIKE TO SHAIMPLET I LIKE TO SHOW YOU MY DIRTY LAUNDRY.

AND SO I WAS, AS I WAS DOING THE TOUR I THOUGHT IF I COULD MAKE

THIS INTO A STANDUP SHOW, IF I COULD ACHIEVE THE MOMENT FROM

THAT MOVIE, I KNOW WILL YOU KNOW THIS, STEEL MAGNOLIAS WHERE

JULIA ROBERTS CHARACTER DIES AND SALLY FIELD IS LIKE, I JUST WANT

TO HIT SOMEBODY.

I JUST WANT TO HIT SOMEBODY.

AND OLIVIA O LIMP MEA SAYS HERE, HIT WHEEZA, HIT HER, YOU

KNOW, THAT GREAT MOMENT OF EMOTIONALITY, WHERE IT JUST GOES

FROM HYSTERICALLY CRYING TO HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER, I WANTED TO

CAPTURE THAT WITHIN THE FORUM OF STANDUP.

AND ONCE I SAW HANNA GATSBY DO T I WAS LIKE I'VE GOT MY STORY TO

DO THAT.

AND I WANTED TO DO IT AND I WANTED TO DO IT DEURKS COVID

BECAUSE I WANTED TO BRING SOME RELIEF AND JOY AND HUMAN I HAD

DURING THIS REALLY KIND OF DARK BUMMER TIME WE ARE ALL DEALING

WITH, MORE THAN A BUMMER.

>> THAT IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT, THAT IT IS SHOT NOW, IT IS IN

THIS NOW, SO THE UD YENS-- AUDIENCE ARE THERE,

WATCHING, IT IS INCREDIBLY SAFE, ARE YOU OUTDOORS, THE BACK DROP

LOOKS INCREDIBLE.

BUT YOU ARE RIGHT THERE, TALKING ABOUT IT, NOW I'M SO HAPPY YOU

DID T I THINK IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT.
