[00:09:40]>> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:09:42]>> When did you start noticing that your stomach was maybe extra sensitive?

[00:09:48]>> Oh, when I was like a little. Like when my parents would leave when I was like, you know, going to school or if I had like a babysitter, >> would it be like >> it would just like get tight?

[00:09:59]>> Yeah.

[00:10:00]>> Not straight to diarrhea.

[00:10:02]>> No, no, no, not none of that. I didn't really have a problem with that. Mine was um Mine was like stomach gets tight.

[00:10:08]Like I would get like migraines essentially in my stomach.

[00:10:10]>> Really?

[00:10:11]>> Yeah.

[00:10:11]>> And I You think it was be like a separation anxiety with your parents?

[00:10:14]>> That's where it started for sure. I think I thought they were going to die when I whenever they left me. They're still alive and you better stay alive or else I'll kill you.

[00:10:26]>> I get that.

[00:10:26]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I um Yeah, I think then it stemmed later in life to like being queer and like in the closet at a Catholic school kind of >> Yeah, that adds a layer to it, too.

[00:10:36]>> But you get the you get the diarrhea.

[00:10:38]>> Yeah, it's terrible. But I didn't have it all my life, so I didn't have it. I have no memories of elementary school with it.

[00:10:42]>> Really?

[00:10:43]>> None. But I do remember feeling anxious.

[00:10:45]I also never had the fear about my parents dying except for one time we were like in the Bahamas and >> there was a shark right behind me.

[00:10:52]>> I was like uh oh they might be dying maybe they like capsized in a little dinghy or something but it was like they could walk like there there was no trouble but I remember having a visual of them dying.

[00:11:03]>> Oh that's so scary. It's really real.

[00:11:06]Oh, >> but then they got divorced and then my relationship with them each got very choppy for a lot of years and then I never worried about them dying.

[00:11:15]>> Oh, >> you know what I mean?

[00:11:16]>> Yeah.

[00:11:17]>> But but no, I'm close now. I don't want them to die.

[00:11:20]>> Right. Of course. But it's not like a constant.

[00:11:22]>> It's not a fear. I mean, I >> I would worry about maybe worry about them getting hurt or getting like lost or something, but I don't even register the death.

[00:11:32]>> I mean, that's healthy. That's very That's a good thing, you know.

[00:11:36]Um, yeah. But I think through over the years, like I've definitely gotten some skills and like tools to use for like in therapy, yada yada.

[00:11:44]>> A good therapist will make such a difference with it.

[00:11:46]>> I've had some I've had a handful of therapists. Um, >> me too. I think like like 18.

[00:11:52]>> I thought you were going to say 90. I know. I go, "Holy crap." You know, like a young >> That means you're not happy in your mood and you're figuring it out.

[00:12:01]>> It's because I had the first one when I was really young. They got my parents got a divorce therapist, then another therapist, and then two of those freaking therapists ended up getting in the news for being inappropriate with kids, but I never had that experience at all. Which I know maybe sounds like I'm in dial, but I swear to God.

[00:12:15]>> I mean, thank God.

[00:12:16]>> Thank God. Oh my god. Could you imag the level of trauma to have your therapist as a kid, man, [ __ ] those people.

[00:12:25]>> That's so [ __ ] up. So [ __ ] >> That is so [ __ ] >> I remember my dad calling like frantically. He's like, "Did you ever ever weird with what with some the guy's name?"

[00:12:34]>> Oh, yeah. Probably completely worried and >> freaked out of his mind. I said, "No, nothing." And he goes, "Were you ever alone with him?" I said, "No, it's me and Katie. We were never alone with him." And he was like, "All right." And hung up and I Googled it and I said, "Oh [ __ ] >> that's crazy."

[00:12:44]>> Oh [ __ ] So through that lens, I had good therapist like >> they're like, "That explains everything." I swear to God. You're like, BUT THEY DIDN'T.

[00:12:52]>> I swear to God.

[00:12:53]>> Oh my gosh.

[00:12:54]>> Would you get anxiety just in your stomach or would you like feel your chest too?

[00:12:58]>> Definitely my chest too, I think. And then Yeah. Like I would get for work things now like present day I I definitely get nervous at some big things but it's like a healthy nervous you know >> that's also like figuring out what's healthy what's an amount of anxiety I should be feeling and then what's when my stomach stuff usually it's harder to pinpoint what it's about cuz it's usually like building up of a lot of different things >> you know what I mean >> I certainly >> because it'll be like oh but then also it can be like triggered by certain stuff >> so that and I for me when it really came on was I did the drug Accutane for acne.

[00:13:29]>> Really?

[00:13:29]>> Yeah. I did it micro do it for like four years. I used to have cystic acne around my chin hormonal.

[00:13:33]>> Oh my god, you have amazing skin.

[00:13:34]>> Thank you so much. I used to have cystic acne like all >> holy crap >> around my chin. It changed my life. But the flip was I started [ __ ] my pants. No, >> you know, apples and orange or y.

[00:13:46]>> Hey, I dig the pants [ __ ] >> I I always do feel that. But there >> easier said than done, I imagine.

[00:13:52]>> It's been tough. It's that there's been I haven't done it in like a while, like a couple months for me, but it's like a it would usually happen about once or twice a month, which I'm 40. That's a lot of my life >> because they have some gnarly that that medicine has some really crazy side effects.

[00:14:04]>> So gnarly, >> but but I but there are so many amazing >> clears up. Your skin clears up. I don't know if other people have had that bad of digestive issues from it, but that was my experience. Damn.

[00:14:17]>> Could have been something. Could have been, but the timing really lined up.

[00:14:20]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:14:22]That medicine makes you fill out a questionnaire to say that you're not pregnant and you have to take a vow of celibacy and there's no queer option. So I had to go in every month and say I'm not pregnant and then I would have to like little take a little test to prove that I was celibate and I was like I'm not celibate. I'm having I wasn't I was single but I was like I'm not a like I'm having sex.

[00:14:39]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:14:40]>> But I had to say for like months and months over year that I was celibate otherwise they wouldn't give it to me.

[00:14:45]>> That is nuts. Is that a stupid rule?

[00:14:47]Like that is pretty crazy rules. Excuse me. Sorry.

[00:14:52]>> Do not worry. Do not >> Amazon delivery, [ __ ] >> Hell yeah.

[00:14:57]>> When you started to get the um stomach things about being queer, did you know it was because you were queer?

[00:16:01]>> It's like how like lesbians love Justin Bieber.

[00:16:03]>> I love Justin Bieber.

[00:16:05]>> Yeah, I love him.

[00:16:06]>> JB, let's go on tour.

[00:16:08]>> Go. Oh my god. Please bring us on tour.

[00:16:13]Please let us be your backup dancers. I swear to God, it'll ruin your whole life. full stretch accordingly. But right before the tour, >> I would do anything to be just I would twerk for that move.

[00:16:22]>> I would I would be stage crew stage.

[00:16:25]>> I'd be stage hands. I'd be in charge of the back left speaker or something.

[00:16:28]>> I' I would and I I think you would [ __ ] kill it.

[00:16:32]>> Move it >> out of that back left speaker.

[00:16:34]>> And maybe luckily like I rise up and be the person who like brings him in the speaker where he hides in to get through crowds. Like that would be like quite a dream job.

[00:16:42]>> And then like talk to them while they're like transforming places.

[00:16:44]>> They're doing great. can you can you also you know play speed demon tonight?

[00:16:48]>> Yeah. And he'd be like, "Oh, SURE, MOLLY." LIKE I >> more than hanging out with you and I'd rather be stage hand than backup dancer to be totally honest.

[00:16:57]>> Oh my god.

[00:16:58]>> Oh my god.

[00:16:58]>> Any type of dancing or like that's why I didn't like uh sports so much in high school like tennis or anything cuz of the tennis skirts.

[00:17:04]>> Oh god. Yeah. I mean I had to wear Did you have to wear uniform at all?

[00:17:07]>> I didn't but I was wondering if you did when you with Catholic school.

[00:17:10]>> I wore skirts. We had to wear skirts but I didn't it didn't bother me. Everybody wore it and it just felt like shorts.

[00:17:15]Like I wore basketball shorts underneath. Most people did. So it didn't >> I did that if I like had to wear a dress or something. But that's good. It didn't was Maybe it was you were so used to it.

[00:17:23]So it wasn't like >> Yeah. That that actually never bothered me. I think also like we just didn't have to like compare. I think wearing regular clothes would have I would have caused bullying from for me particularly >> if that makes any sense.

[00:17:36]>> Of course. Cuz you would have been like these are the clothes I want to wear, >> right? I think that's why they even say some they have the uniform because they're like this way it doesn't people like don't but then people find ways to make it more fashionable than other whatever >> and then it's like oh like >> yeah wealth and doesn't matter and all stuff. So >> how young were you when you went into the Catholic all girl school?

[00:17:56]>> Uh it was kindergarten through 8th grade uh St. Bernardet. It was like boys girls and then girls school high school.

[00:18:05]>> Did you have fun?

[00:18:06]>> I had a blast. I kind of like my freaking elementary school too and high school.

[00:18:09]>> No, elementary I did not like. I I had some good times. I think that was when I was I like, you know, I was chubby and like I I didn't fit in with the like the guys and the girls like liking each other. I was like, "This is lame as hell." I go, "Get me out of here." I go, "When is uh recess?" Like, I'm done with this chatter.

[00:18:32]>> What did you do well in classes?

[00:18:35]>> I mean, I did mid. I I I I um I definitely averaged B's.

[00:18:39]>> Nice. Good stuff.

[00:18:40]>> Like I was a B. I asked my mom what my blood type was like a couple years ago.

[00:18:45]Um and she's like B+ just like your average grades. And I'd be like that's really actually really nice of you.

[00:18:50]>> Yeah. That's really nice. Giving me the always remember >> my grades the stress that you were under being like in the closet with stomach.

[00:18:57]You know what I mean?

[00:18:58]>> Yeah.

[00:18:58]>> Cuz that is hard. I remember feeling like oh my god I'm different from the other kids. And I remember clocking that but similar where it was like I'm just smooshing stuff down. I was like I can't even deal with this.

[00:19:08]>> Yeah. I'm like God I'm just starting to get zits like let alone sexuality. Like I'm like put it in the literally put it in the closet.

[00:19:15]>> Literally put it in the closet. I had a couple like guy friends that I was really close with and I remember I remember kind of the way I would talk to them at a certain point I felt conscious of because it would be like I I had this one friend we would look at like porn like not explicit but we'd watch Jerry Springer and then we'd go Google and I remember us googling boobs not like the most most creative kids but we were like B o and then I'm dyslexic I'm like five and whatever but I'm like boob so we're googling it and then I remember our routine would be do that and then one time he was like, "Shouldn't you be googling like penis?" And I was like, >> you're like, "Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, it was." And it was kind of like he was almost trying to like help me out. Like he was like, "You don't have to look at boobs if you're looking at them for me." And I was like, "Ah, >> you know, I want to support you or whatever."

[00:20:03]>> He's a sweet little guy.

[00:20:04]>> Sweet little guy. But I remember then being like, "Ah, shit." And then not wanting to wear a dress.

[00:20:09]>> Oh, hell no. I'm so glad you didn't have this wear in a dress cuz being put in a dress, would you go if you had a like a role, how far a field would you be willing to go from your natural comfort level for an acting role?

[00:20:22]>> Okay, so that's tough. That is tough. I've been really thinking about this lately because like when I was at SNL like I played strippers and um like prom dressed women and like wives and stuff, but that I just felt like I was doing like drag.

[00:20:44]>> I was just going to say that.

[00:20:45]>> And like I would and also like the heels would help like and like the push-up bras and like the fake nails like that just and long blonde hair. I was like, "Oh, this is like >> Wait, I haven't seen I got to go find the sketch. I haven't seen I think it got cut." Uh Jimmy Folly wrote it. It was so funny. It was with Emma Stone. I think it didn't make it to air, but it was such a funny scene.

[00:21:02]>> They had you as a stripper.

[00:21:04]>> Yeah. A bunch of us. It was so funny. Um >> I guess if you're like caught in the moment, you believe in the script, too, then it's like Yeah. No problem.

[00:21:11]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um but I think like playing more closer to myself would be very difficult to play like a straight woman.

[00:21:20]>> Yes.

[00:21:21]>> Like I don't know if I I would be like, "You're not believing this, are you?"

[00:21:25]>> Right. like you know it's but I also know like a lot of great actors and actresses can play gay when they're straight and like that's I don't know >> I had an audition a while ago.

[00:21:36]>> Yeah. I want to know how you feel about that >> where they there was something about this line this visual that I really couldn't handle where it was like the character had just had sex with a guy and then it says she got off him. So I said, "What is that?" And I watch like straight porn or I used to or whatever and I was like got off of him like and my girlfriend was like like she was on top and then I read up and it says she was riding him. So I go, >> "Yeah, I won't be doing that."

[00:22:02]>> Yeah. I go, "Excuse me, >> there's other rules for us and we don't want to do that."

[00:22:05]>> Riding.

[00:22:07]I felt I said I don't my body like I said this is not this is rude. And I like sent a message to I was like, "Hey, like I appreciate the audition, but like I feel really uncomfortable with this."

[00:22:16]And then my manager was like, "Well, maybe they'll change it." Like, they probably will. Like, you should still do it. But just even knowing that was the preceding moment for the thing.

[00:22:23]>> It's tough. It makes me feel so um not >> not right.

[00:22:28]>> Not what was for you.

[00:22:30]>> Yeah.

[00:22:30]>> Not right.

[00:22:31]>> Yeah. Not right.

[00:22:31]>> Not right. I go m >> And it's fine. Like I my my team is very uh >> like they'll get it.

[00:22:38]>> Yeah. Um >> because you don't want >> Just don't even throw that at me.

[00:22:42]They're like because I don't want to waste my time.

[00:22:44]>> Yes. I don't want to waste anybody else's time and I think it kind of is unspoken but they just they just know what to give me.

[00:22:52]>> Okay, that's good. Maybe I should make a note that say >> does it mean less auditions? Yes. Fine.

[00:22:56]>> Does it mean less opportunities? No.

[00:22:58]>> Because it's just less of my time being wasted in other people's time.

[00:23:02]>> And figuring out like saying no to stuff is like saying what your like boundaries are then just makes it so the things that you could actually qualify for you have more like energy for.

[00:23:09]>> Exactly. cuz you don't want to have mental anguish about being like, do I do I not want to act bad enough if I'm not willing to like straddle someone? I mean, I probably would give someone a freaking hand job >> for real.

[00:23:19]>> There you go.

[00:23:20]>> You know what I mean? Like, >> for real.

[00:23:21]>> For real. Like, if they're like, "Well, you give the c casting director hand job." I guess.

[00:23:26]>> Yeah.

[00:23:26]>> But I'm not straddling something.

[00:23:27]>> No, no, no. You know, that's that's where we cross the [ __ ] line.

[00:23:31]>> There's something about a hand job that seems less >> It's Yeah.

[00:23:35]>> vulnerable. IT'S LIKE GUYS TO GUYS ALL THE TIME IN THE LOCKER ROOM, RIGHT?

[00:23:38]>> EXACTLY.

[00:23:39]>> RIGHT. OH, that's I know that's what everyone's I know that's what everybody does in the mail locker room. Not all day every day, but pretty much you get especially as you get older, you're frustrated with your wife and then you jerk off your buddy.

[00:23:51]>> Yeah. Are you telling me if Seinfeld wasn't more like rated R George Castanza would be up in there?

[00:23:58]>> You'd be blowing everybody.

[00:23:59]>> Yeah. George Castanza would be blowing everybody.

[00:24:01]>> He'd be blowing everybody. Kramer would be kicking the door in and be like, "OH, NOT AGAIN." He would be he Jerry would be at top. Jordan would be blowing everybody. Kramer would also be a top.

[00:24:12]>> Oh, absolutely.

[00:24:13]>> Elaine would be pegging people.

[00:24:15]>> Absolutely.

[00:24:16]>> When you started getting your stomach stuff, did you go to a therapist about it right away or were you like >> Yeah, I actually My mom um and dad are very good about that. So, I >> They sound amazing. So receptive.

[00:24:27]>> They're very good. They're good people.

[00:24:30]>> It's great.

[00:24:30]>> Um I went to a therapist when I was in like kindergarten or first grade, I think. First grade. It was basically just like hey when your stomach start hurting like so this like breathing technique is very >> is it breathe in for amount hold it then breathe out for longer.

[00:24:46]>> Yeah. And then like breathe in where your stomach doesn't move up and down.

[00:24:50]It's basically just to get your mind to focus on something else. It's like I still do it if I'm like really freaking freaking out about something. I can't even put my can do it.

[00:24:59]>> I'm just like yeah you keep your stomach where it is and you like >> then what do you breathe with? What do you breathe with if you're not breathing? You just It's makes you breathe slower and like make your tummy not move that much.

[00:25:08]>> So, I'm kind of holding it out in one place, but then >> Oh, it's tough.

[00:25:12]>> It's tough, but it's really got me good.

[00:25:14]>> Little things like that do make such a big freak. Taking a walk, drinking some water like does bring you back the baseline, >> dude. The walks save. Especially in our line of work, it's like we got time.

[00:25:25]>> We got time. I know. Oh, cuz people too, they go especially if you're like you're like, "Oh, you're going to be in Ohio for next week or something." Oh, that's you're busy. Well, I just am posting what I'm doing.

[00:25:50]>> You're good on social media. You're a good You're a good stress media media person.

[00:25:55]>> Stresses me out, but I appreciate that.

[00:26:03]They are the ones who are literally the most They're the most like, "Fuck you.

[00:28:19]>> IT [ __ ] pains.

[00:28:20]>> I think I was like surviving on like four hours of sleep. make not it lowers your um alcohol tolerance too.

[00:28:28]>> Oh yeah yeah yeah. Yes.

[00:28:29]>> More than aderall cuz I used to sn so I mine was the reverse. I did aderall in my 20s. So in my mind I'm like aderall is crazy. Okay. Okay.

[00:28:35]>> But maybe it was my 20. I don't know.

[00:28:37]Like aderall made me smoke cigarettes and snort my you know drive around whatever. So it could have been my mind where I was at the time. But when I did aderall it would maybe affect my alcohol terms with vivance. I don't drink anymore. But I remember the one of the first times I It's also like I drank a bunch of vodkas, but it was still the Viveance lowered it and I remember >> Oh, that's good. How do you feel like when you were first starting Viveance?

[00:29:09]>> Oh my god.

[00:29:10]>> And I remember like I had a viance late in the day. I remember I was like it was something going on and then I remember you know one of those thing where you're like if I take it now how late am I going to stay up one of those. So I said I took it at like 2:00 p.m. This is a mistake. I got to take it at 11 or something.

[00:29:26]>> Took it at 2 p.m. and I went and I remember I knew the server at this restaurant and she like hooked it up with the vodka department.

[00:29:33]>> The worst.

[00:29:34]>> You're not getting hooked up. You're getting slowly killed.

[00:29:37]>> Getting [ __ ] over. Lady, back off. My tolerance is in the gutter cuz of my ADD pills. You're killing us out here. I drank it and then I got [ __ ] hammered quick. I think also it suppresses your appetite if you're I I only take 10 milligrams now, but I was taking more.

[00:29:52]And I was at the top of a stairway.

[00:29:54]Someone opened the door and I turned around. I fell down the stairs.

[00:29:57]>> Oh my heart.

[00:30:26]>> Out of the town?

[00:32:27]>> I like to go get it.

[00:32:28]>> I like to go get it.

[00:32:29]>> Have you ever had a place that you go and then another place pops up and you feel an allegiance to the first one?

[00:32:33]>> Oh yeah. And I'll walk by one of the places really fast. I'll be like >> I have that right now.

[00:32:38]>> I do it all the time.

[00:33:23]>> Just so hyper aware of what other people think.

[00:33:25]>> Yes. And I think it's particularly our era from like like now I think growing up you can come out quite early.

[00:33:32]>> Oh, for sure.

[00:33:33]>> So I think like it's really and this just this is just me. I have no idea if this is like study or whatever, but I'm just like >> our generation of people who are in the closet are very hyper aware of people around them and who what they're thinking. I feel so hyper aware of how people perceive me as like a more masculine person on stage and I'll think that they're thinking this or that. Me too. And I feel so or if something's not going well, I'll be like, "Oh, it's because of how I look and they think they can't relate to me." When actually I don't know what it is.

And Gail was like, "Tell me." She was like, "I used to see this client that would go to NA meetings narcotics anonymous." And this older guy would find girls that were recently sober and say he would take them around to meetings and then he would uh like assault them. And both Gail and I forks just dropped.

[00:39:21]>> Okay.

[00:39:21]>> Am I the [ __ ] for telling my girlfriend the way she talks about her car is weird and embarrassing? I, 25, been dating my girlfriend, 23, for about 9 months. When she turned 21, her parents gave her a car and she decided to name it Angie. I learned all this on our first date when she said, "Angie took me here." I thought she I >> I thought that was odd, but let it slide. Throughout our relationship, she's always talked about her car as if she was talking about another person.

[00:39:46]When she got a flat tire on a highway a few months back, she called me and said that Angie's shoe broke and has to get a new one. When she goes to the car wash, she describes it as giving Angie a bath.

[00:39:56]This all came to a head this weekend when me and my friends went out drinking and my girlfriend offered to be the designated driver. We were about We were out for a couple hours and I admittedly got a bit too drunk. When my girlfriend came back to pick us up, she said she's stopping at the gas station first to get Angie something to drink.

[00:40:12]>> No.

[00:40:18]But I people do talk about their trucks like that. Maybe not like this. This is where I may be the [ __ ] I told her I think it's weird and embarrassing of her to talk about her car like that. It's a machine, not a pet or a kid, and that she should treat it like how a normal person would treat any machine. She got very quiet and refused to say anything for the rest of the drive home. She dropped off my friends and then drove to my apartment. I asked her why weren't we going back to hers and she said she needed some time to think and told me to get out. She's been radio silent since then and I'm starting to think I did something wrong. Am I the [ __ ] for what I said?

[00:40:52]>> Absolutely not. He's not an [ __ ] That is so crazy. Like I get I get pissed off when somebody's like, "Oh, I got to let my son out." It's like, "No, you're that's your dog. Your dog?"

[00:41:02]>> It really is their son.

[00:41:03]>> It's fine. I'm I'll allow it. But I'm saying I'm at my breaking point. Like that's really at the cusp and like yeah that's like really funny. Like if she was like a jokester be like I got to fill up a >> Right. Right.

[00:41:15]>> She's you know >> right up with some booze or something like that's funny but like that sounds like >> get the car hammered this weekend.

[00:41:22]>> She's got like an American Girl doll collection.

[00:41:24]>> Yes. 100%. This person gave an update too. No.

[00:41:28]>> Yeah. Update. Well, she dumped me. She >> She found the post. Called me and told me never to speak to her again.

[00:41:36]>> She found the post. She found the post.

[00:41:38]I guess this one got a lot of up votes.

[00:41:40]I guess it's for the best though. We really wouldn't have been that compatible as many of you have said.

[00:41:44]Thanks to you for your judgments. Damn.

[00:41:47]I wouldn't mind if someone referred to their car as Angie.

[00:41:55]But I don't know.

[00:41:56]>> But to that extent >> to that extent >> stuff >> to that extent when you start talking for the car as a person it does cuz it's one of those things you go you kidding.

[00:42:04]You can't tell if you're you go, "Oh, >> is it dope?" Like, have you ever been with someone >> in the shoe?

[00:42:10]>> That was too much for me.

[00:42:11]>> That's too much.

[00:42:12]>> That was pushing it.

[00:42:13]>> You know when someone quotes a movie and you don't know if they're quoting a movie or if they're just like having a coniction. Yeah.

[00:42:18]>> It's one of you got to make an assessment. Are they crazy or am I just >> Yeah. And and if you haven't seen the movie, you're just like, "Okay, just shake it out. Get it out of your system." Like, "I've never seen it."

[00:42:25]They're like, "WHAT THE FUCK?"

[00:42:27]>> THEN YOU'RE LIKE, AND THEY'RE LIKE, "OH, it's from Dumb and Dumber." And you got Yeah. Yeah.

[00:42:30]>> Well, that one you can quote around me.

[00:42:31]>> Oh, yeah. That one I used to quote till I was in high school and then I stopped.
