00:00All right, well, let me catch up on what's been going on with me since you saw me last.
00:07I decided to take up gardening.
00:08I got chickens.
00:09Let me see what else I can tell you about that's been going on.
00:13Oh, yeah, I got kicked out of show business.
00:19Yeah.
00:20Yeah, the be kind girl wasn't kind.
00:25That was the headline.
00:27Here's the problem.
00:28I'm a comedian who got a talk show, and I ended the show every day by saying, be kind
00:32to one another.
00:33Had I ended my show by saying, go fuck yourselves, people would have been pleasantly surprised
00:40to find out I'm kind.
00:43Most women aren't raised with confidence.
00:44We're too self-conscious, which is why you rarely see a woman playing air guitar.
00:49I didn't go into this business for money.
00:52It was about healing my childhood wounds.
00:54I thought if I could make people happy, then they'll like me.
00:57And if they like me, I'll feel good about myself.
01:00And all I can say about that is, thank God for the money.
