00:00
We are here with the legend,
00:02
the comedian Sasha Mercy.
00:10
So, how are you doing?
00:11
How's your summer been?
00:12
My summer's been good.
00:13
It's been very eventful and it's not over yet.
00:16
Like what's been going on?
00:19
You know, a lot of parties that I'm looking forward to
00:22
I'm going to New York City,
00:24
so I'm not looking forward to that hate in New York City
00:26
It looks like people are literally melting outside and also super
00:32
random. But I wanted to get your take on this because
00:35
I saw this this morning.
00:36
There's this tweet that's like living in my head rent free of
00:39
feet. Yeah. There we go.
00:45
What, what is your take on this?
00:47
I don't mind it.
00:49
I don't, I don't see anything wrong with it.
00:50
As long as your feet don't stink.
00:52
I think I'm fine.
00:53
Look, I was raised in Dr Right?
00:55
And we would either walk barefoot or with sandals.
00:59
So toes, I'm not like toes are like the fingers of
01:02
the legs. You know what I'm saying?
01:03
Like, I don't see,
01:05
I don't see anything wrong with it and people wear sandals all
01:07
the time. Absolutely.
01:09
I don't understand what the problem is I look,
01:11
I'm just minding my business.
01:12
If my feet stink,
01:13
you will never catch me.
01:16
So my motherfucking toes.
01:18
But yeah. Well,
01:19
I want to also get your take on.
01:21
I know you're bi coastal.
01:22
I love picking your brain because you're so clever with things.
01:25
So I know you're bi-coastal the other day.
01:29
My sister Daniela, she was asked on a plane to switch
01:34
seats because the family,
01:36
the family wants to sit together and then she had to sit
01:40
in a middle seat if she would have said yes.
01:43
Well, she said no,
01:44
but what is your take on that?
01:46
You will have to come to me with a sob story.
01:49
Like somebody in your family gotta be dying.
01:52
I am a window seat person.
01:54
Was it a window seat?
01:55
It was a window seat.
01:56
I'm not giving up my window seat for nobody.
01:58
All right, I got scoliosis.
02:00
All right, I gotta take it back.
02:01
I need the certain leverage to like take naps because my back
02:05
be hurting. I just honestly I'm not such a,
02:08
you don't know my medical issues.
02:09
I don't give a fuck.
02:10
I want, I'm sorry,
02:11
I don't care if y'all want to sit together and then if
02:13
you're flying alone, it's like you can't be on someone's shoulder
02:16
You know, I had a nightmare.
02:17
So I had a nightmare.
02:20
I had a nightmare.
02:21
Situation happened to me.
02:23
I happen to be in the middle seat and I just remember
02:25
thinking to myself, if,
02:27
if I go to hell,
02:28
I'm pretty sure the devil is gonna put me sit in the
02:32
middle seat for the rest of my life because that was like
02:36
that's why I want to be a good person.
02:37
So when I go to hell,
02:38
I never have to sit in the middle seat.
02:40
The thing about middle seats too is like,
02:43
I like to nap and I'm always like leaning forward like this
02:47
So I take a scarf and I just so that it
02:52
attaches itself to the seat.
02:53
So I'm just like,
02:55
I'm in the middle.
02:58
Like that's a good idea.
03:00
I don't even know what that patent pending.
03:06
What would you call it?
03:07
I don't know the seat head to head to seat a seat
03:13
nap. There was this guy that sat next to me,
03:15
this older man, we were flying to Mexico and yeah,
03:19
he was rotting inside.
03:21
What do you mean rotting inside?
03:23
Because I think he farted really bad,
03:26
but a silent one,
03:27
he was asleep. It was really bad but crazy stuff goes
03:30
on. I mean,
03:31
we don't talk about how many people fart on planes.
03:33
Yeah. Ok. Well,
03:34
let's switch now. We're just getting really stinky.
03:38
We're talking about those parts.
03:42
Parts. Why are you being stinky over here?
03:45
Ok. Well, let's change the subject.
03:46
Did you see the national anthem?
03:48
Oh my God. All right.
03:52
So I saw it.
03:54
I was just kind of like how the heck did that even
03:57
happen? That's what we're talking about.
04:00
Like the managers, her publicist.
04:02
How did they allow that?
04:03
She sound like a dying cat.
04:05
And then I think what was very funny was her not funny
04:09
Oh my God.
04:10
Her post afterwards was very interesting because she was like,
04:13
yo, guys, she didn't even make any excuse.
04:15
She was like, yo,
04:16
I was drunk. I love that.
04:18
She was like, she was like,
04:19
yo, I was drunk.
04:20
I'm going to rehab.
04:21
It's gonna be fun.
04:22
That's what I like.
04:24
Who goes to rehab and say,
04:26
yo, I think it's gonna be fun in there.
04:29
There ain't no drugs in there.
04:30
Oh How fun. You lying,
04:33
Amy Winehouse didn't even want to.
04:35
She did it. She said no,
04:36
no, no. I think we've heard many different like
04:41
horrible versions of the national anthem before and we kind of like
04:45
brushed it off, but I think we're talking about it because
04:49
this is just so in,
04:51
it's not genuine at all.
04:52
It's disingenuous. So good luck to you,
04:56
Ingrid. Whoever you are,
04:57
Ingrid, Ingrid, is there something that you just wanna put
05:02
on the table and talk about?
05:03
Yes. So I have Maurice Nando coming up July 26th in
05:08
New York City at the United Palace.
05:10
So that's something that I'm really excited about.
05:13
And August 10th, I'm gonna be throwing Ateo out there.
05:17
Oh And in October I'm gonna be in Philly doing a play
05:22
It's called la egoist.
05:23
So I'm really excited about it.
05:25

05:28

05:29
