  • and I'm worried I'm be rusty.

  • -No, no. You'll be fine.

  • -What words am I not allowed to say?

  • Can you just list them all for me?

  • Can I say this word? -No.

  • I don't think -- See, there's a lot -- You can't even do that.

  • Right now, when you pixelate it,

  • the whole thing is just two eyeballs right now.

  • -Thank you very much.

  • That's so nice of you. -You are ageless, Jimmy.

  • -"Good For You."

  • -Yeah. -"Good For You."

  • -Yeah. -Am I saying it right?

  • -Yes, you are. What would be wrong about that?

  • -Well, you could say like, "Good for you"?

  • -Oh, that's true. "Good for you."

  • -"Good for you." -Yeah. "Good for you."

  • -It's almost like, "Good for you."

  • -Yeah. It's not that snarky. -It's not?

  • 'Cause that would be a bad interview podcast.

  • where you're like, "Oh, yeah, good for you."

  • "Good for you. Yeah, you just a new house?

  • Yeah, good for you."

  • -No, that's what I think

  • whenever someone tells me anything.

  • But I try to say, "Good for you.

  • No [bleep]

  • It's "Good For You," like this is good for you.

  • -Okay, good.

  • -Yeah, you should listen to this.

  • There's good stuff in there.

  • -See? The podcast is good for you.

  • -Yeah, not "good for you."

  • But it's a Rorschach test, basically, of --

  • -I'm gonna do your show, and then you can do "good for you."

  • -"Good for you."

  • -Yeah, but this is "Good For You."

  • -Yeah. -And who is your guest this --

  • -Oh, my gosh.

  • I've had lots of comedians on, friends of mine,

  • but I had David Sedaris on the show.

  • -Oh, he's fantastic.

  • -No, he's, like, truly one of my heroes.

  • I have made whoopee to David Sedar-- Oh, my God.

  • To his audio book, not to him.

  • I have not made whoopee -- -Wait. What?

  • I love that you censored yourself saying making whoopee?

  • -Whoopee. I was trying to not say this word.

  • -Bob Eubanks? I mean, what is...

  • -I was about to say that -- Anyway, one time, I was...

  • -Yes.

  • -Yeah. With someone, and a David Sedaris audio book

  • came on, on, like, random on my iPod.

  • -Oh, my gosh. Only you would this happen.

  • So, you had it on shuffle? -I had it on shuffle, on random.

  • I had it on random. -Yeah.

  • -And David Sedaris' audio book came on.

  • -Oh, my gosh. -Left it on. No regrets.

  • -Wow! That's major. [ Cheers and applause ]

  • -That's how much I love David Sedaris.

  • So, David Sedaris is coming to my house to record the podcast.

  • I am so nervous. I'm sweating.

  • Like, you know, there's just some celebrities

  • that you can't hold it together around.

  • like you right now are probably freaking out.

  • -I am, I am.

  • -So, there's this pill you can take if you're a performer.

  • It's called a beta-blocker. -Oh, okay.

  • -And a lot of actors take it. It just stops adrenaline.

  • It's not like a narcotic or anything.

  • That's for the weekends. -No, like, a lot of...

  • -That's a different thing.

  • No, it's like having, like, a shot of whiskey

  • but, like, without losing your job and your friends.

  • It's just a little thing to make you less nervous.

  • -Yeah, I know, like, a lot of, like, classical pianists --

  • -I didn't know what that was. -I'm sorry.

  • I don't know what that was either.

  • I was doing, like, a celloist, a violinist.

  • -Right. So, it makes you less nervous.

  • So, I take the pill, but I cannot come down.

  • I'm so nervous. He's on his way.

  • My producer picks up the prescription,

  • and he was like, "Oh, is your real name Frankie?

  • And I was like, "No. That's my dog's name."

  • I had taken two of my dog's steroids,

  • for a 120-pound dog, illegal dose for a human.

  • I am freaking out. I called my doctor.

  • He's like, "Yeah, you need to cancel the interview

  • and come over here right now."

  • And I was like, "Oh, no, no, but David Sedaris is, like,

  • almost at my house."

  • He's like, "I love David Sedaris."

  • I'm like, "Yeah, that's -- Me too.

  • That's why I'm in this mess." So, I'm sweating.

  • Like, I'm freaking out.

  • I start getting -- Like, you can see in the YouTube video,

  • like, my hair started getting, like, really slimy and clumpy.

  • Like, I'm sweating. I'm totally freaking out.

  • But steroids make it so your mouth gets very dry.

  • And, so, I was so worried that I had, like, you know, like,

  • that funk you get in your mouth when you do crack?

  • -What is wrong with you?

  • What is wrong with you? No, I don't know that.

  • The funk you get in your mouth?

  • No! What?

  • -I am very relatable.

  • It's kind of my brand -- America's sweetheart.

  • I'm like, "You know, like crack, right?"

  • -Sure, of course.

  • -And, so, I'm, like, nervous that I just --

  • So, I do this to just, like, scratch off.

  • I taste the unmistakable flavor of blood immediately.

  • I've ripped into my own lip, fully bleeding from the face.

  • -Oh, my God.

  • This is the last episode you did?

  • This is crazy. -Yes.

  • -Oh, my gosh.

  • -But I just stuck my hand in the water.

  • -What are you doing? What is going on?

  • -Anyway, so, David Sedaris --

  • -Are you -- She's sleeping. Hold on.

  • She might pee her pants. Sorry. Hold on.

  • This is why we don't do sleepovers here anymore.

  • -And, so, David Sedaris is at my house.

  • I'm having a full stigmata from the face.

  • And, so, when you listen to the interview,

  • they had to cut me out entirely because I was covering

  • my mouth the whole time.

  • So it's basically -- My podcast is just the guest talking

  • and me not talking at all, which is honestly --

  • Can you -- Now this is -- -It's all good.

  • It's all good. It's all fine. Look at this.

  • Wait. Is there more water...

  • -Those are tears. Those are tears, actually.

  • -Tears of joy. No. Why would I wipe you off?

  • That was for you. -No. What?

  • -Yeah. No, I'm not gonna wipe you.

  • -I'm not wet, Jimmy. -No. I'm...

  • -I'm very dry over here. -I understand.

  • -Bone-dry. -I understand.

  • -Is any of this usable? -Yes, of course.

  • -Hey, Seth, can you come back out here?

  • -No, no. It's all great.

  • So, you ended up doing the thing, and it turned out okay.

  • -It turned out okay.

  • We had to fix that in post, but he's the only

  • guest I really freaked out the most.

  • -You record it in your home? Why do you record in your home?

  • -Because I make bad choices.

  • And the whole point of a podcast is it's supposed to be easy.

  • You know, but the problem with recording it

  • in your home is, like, there's things around your house

  • that you think are normal because you see them

  • all the time but, to a new person, would be very weird.

  • So, I'm having an interview with Fred Armisen -- the best.

  • -Love him.

  • -And during a time when I was freezing my eggs,

  • because everything in my life is going exactly according to plan.

  • -Oh, my gosh.

  • -So, you have to, like, stab yourself with a needle

  • a couple times a day when you freeze your egg.

  • Why did you stop making eye contact

  • with me when I did that?

  • -Everything's cool. We're good. -It's just got so awkward.

  • -We're cool.

  • -When you talk about egg-freezing with guys,

  • they freak out, 'cause, like,

  • they don't really know what it is.

  • -Just keep talking.

  • -So, I'm freezing my eggs and I'm shooting myself up

  • with hormones because I have to make more eggs in my uterus.

  • -Alright.

  • And if you're playing the drinking game,

  • she said "uterus."

  • -And, so, I have the interview with Fred Armisen.

  • He leaves, and then I go back to, like, clean up

  • and I see there's a full needle on the table

  • that was right between us.

  • He for sure saw it. For sure.

  • So I'm like, "Do I call him and say like,

  • 'Hey, dude, I'm not a drug addict.

  • Like, I'm not that --'"

  • That's exactly what a drug addict would do.

  • -Yeah, you're right. Yeah. -You know what I mean?

  • -A drug addict would -- Yeah.

  • -Would go, "Hey, I'm not a drug addict."

  • -Yeah. So you can't do that. -So, what do I do?

  • -You can't run into him ever again.

  • You have to avoid Fred Armisen forever, yeah.

  • But he saw a syringe, like, a used --

  • -A full needle. -Yeah.

  • -I can't be like, "Hey, I'm freezing my eggs."

  • -Too personal. -No!

  • Look what just happened to you.

  • -Yeah, I did get a little embarrassed. Yeah.

  • -Yes, I know. You're bright red.

-I'm wearing a suit. -Yes. Fantastic.
