But in the show I see she's 13 months old and she's actually 20 months old and I feel like I'm with brazen life but how can anybody trust you like every show is on the run to her or you know I know it's like that from yesterday where there's 2 people who know that the Beatles exist and that I feel good about you know I was 20 months you can't do that dating every time then being that she is now at 20 months and 2 days a good otherwise it's like nonstop Yeah and it's too much because the show has to be like its own thing in its own world doesn't it you can't update fully Yeah yeah you always make little little changes and stuff but you do find yourself saying things like It's not exactly how you feel at that moment or every thought that you have you're not actually having it at that moment when you're saying it could be a good mood when you're saying I hate this. We had like friends and acquaintances who don't know much about stand up suddenly realize what you're telling every day and be like got to devour it like how does the you're making it up like how do you think that with Simon he was genuinely He was so gutted he just he really he thought I think is kind of upsetting for me so I think he thought I was a genius. A nice guy I got there we were thinking that there is that yes once you see it again you know and then people really don't respect you very much but what frustrates me is they respect to less if you're able to do a really similar thing each time which is really scary. But you have annoyed moves in the same place and I'm like yes it's a show and movie place that is it's kind of like adults in a way isn't it that yeah and I think the longer you do it the more of a dance it becomes. Very you get it. Because you've got. To tell me more about the show intrigue is about is about the fact that I had my baby and she's my 1st baby and I you're in this state of like single tiny c. Like utter chaos and sleep. Evasion and like warning is the madness but also you feel like your heart is just like wide eyed pain like I remember just feeling so in love with everyone and everything in so desperately like tender basically that like you know how could anyone be cruel to anyone in like literally started crying because I saw a lot and I came to be it's Marvel remember that I cried because I was thinking about Lettice's and how we all connected on from like stuff like that and then on top of that you got kind of the anxiety of bring someone into the world now and like with dread especially from me of climate change I just sort of trying to process part trying to be real about it but also trying to then be like and I'm glad I've had my daughter and I wanted to be a miss work as I was about sort of right trying to deal with all of that and then break through to somewhere where you can feel kind of positive looking in the future yes that's what I love about your comedy is that you take things that are like quite like dark or like terrifying and intense and then you make them funny and light hearted and so people come away feeling good but also like inspired I think it's a really nice mix as well thank you that means a lot to me I really appreciate it that's my dream I think thank you so much Stacy come back tomorrow I would love to say wonderful.
