00:00:00
Oh my god. My brother would got would took my mom's dildo. He must have been like five. And he would go up the
00:00:06
street, put it to his neck in front of all his friends and go, "If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning and it
00:00:12
would make his voice." And um he was doing build dildo bits at school,
00:00:19
but they didn't know what it was. And then I got to do Just Shoot Me with George. Yeah. And I said that to him and I said,
00:00:26

00:00:51
these, we get comments on YouTube, even if it's an audio, uh, people watch it on
00:00:56
YouTube and, uh, then they tell us what they think. And I just hear out in the world, have Sherot Terry back on, she
00:01:03
was really fun when she was on the show and she's the kind that just goes all out on everything and she tells funny
00:01:10
stories. And so, we were like, well, she has to be on video so people can see what we see. And so, we just had her on.
00:01:16
Right. Yeah, we wanted her back because we saw all the visual and she was funny just hearing the audio, but she also
00:01:22
does these impressions of her mom and little characters. So, it was great to have her back on video. So, that's why
00:01:28
this is sort of a a cool one. So, you can see what we saw with the audio only one. So, here she is. Friend of the
00:01:35
friend of the show. Friend of the show. One of the funniest people we've had on this on Fly on the Wall.
00:01:41
The one and only Sher O Terry. Sherry and I for the last half hour were
00:01:47
talking about she called a nail salon and they say
00:01:53
happy nail how I help. Happy nail how I help.
00:02:04
Oh yeah, I've gone in to those places and I love it because she always has an attitude. How I help?
00:02:11
Is she mad that you're calling already? Oh, she's pissed. She got she was just waking up.
00:02:16
I hear so much about nail salons. I never been in one, but it sounds like you haven't. I know. They're slightly irritated. You're
00:02:22
there. You can tell by your hands. Here. Here's my point. David,
00:02:29
do you take baths? Baths? Do you take a bath?
00:02:34
David, why don't you try saying hi to Jean? Who's Jean? Hi, Jean.
00:02:40
Hi, Jean. God damn it. Because the the reason I go in there once in a while with my wife is because my feet are
00:02:46
gnarly because I don't take baths and I can't really see. Anyway, do you have a lofah?
00:02:51
I'm Dana Garvey. Our guest today is Sher. No, I want to hear about the lofah because I have a lofah and I I I heard
00:02:58
you're only supposed to keep them for two to six years before they get bacteria.
00:03:03
Yeah, you got it right. I had a lofah all through college and it was so grimy but didn't slow me down. I
00:03:12
think that's how I got crab six times. It was that or a pay phone. Our guest is
00:03:17
Sher Otter. We're back from break. Back from break. And Sher Otter is here.
00:03:23
By popular demand. Really? Yeah. Oh, you were very popular.
00:03:29
Oh man, I'm I'm so scared now. They're going to be like, "Wow, she was funnier when I couldn't see her." Yeah, that's definitely a danger. But
00:03:37
what it is is you tell stories and then you we can't see them and then they like we want to see her and I'm like I know.
00:03:44
So next time. All right. By the way, I know this is not related for sure, but you gave your little
00:03:50
pillow there a nice little karate chop in the background. I did. Wasn't Isn't that a rabbit pillow or
00:03:57
some kind of animal? Yeah. What is that? Not a rabbit. No. No. Is that a rabbit? I can't see too.
00:04:04
Um Sherry, come on. Now, let's go out. I'm going on Fly on the Wallop.
00:04:09
You guys, congratulations. The The show's doing so well. Is it? Oh, comedy podcast of the year.
00:04:16
Whatever. Yeah. Oh, that iHeart thing. Yeah, that little iHeart thing.
00:04:22
That was political. But thank you. Pretty soon, David's going to be practicing hot G.
00:04:30
No, I'm not that gross. Sherry. Sherry saw me pass out at Fiorella's.
00:04:37
Oh my god, your friend's in the bathroom. He's fainted. And I'm like,
00:04:42
uh, is he okay? Can you check? And um then he comes walking out like hair like
00:04:49
cuz he pass. He's like, I need orange juice. Like no, you need to pay the check. It's your turn this time.
00:04:57
You had to get a crow. Stop fainting. Crowbar in my wallet. Oh yeah. Oh, Sherry, here comes the check. I go, "Oh,
00:05:04
I know what I'm allergic to. The check and he's out."
00:05:09
Dana, I was stressed. I know. Well, it was a thing. We've talked about it
00:05:15
before. Before you handled your hypoglycemic nature, you have candy bars everywhere, even in the elevator. That's
00:05:21
another story. But, um, Spade went down. You know, there'd be But he's okay. That would be in a read
00:05:27
through normally, which is a feignable place, but it was so it was so such so so funny
00:05:34
in New York. Uh, real casual, your friends on the ground in the in the bathroom.
00:05:39
And I'm like, could you check for a pulse? I mean, could you Oh, okay.
00:05:44
Well, yeah. You don't mean international superstar David Spade, dude. But they go, yeah, even even the waiter was like,
00:05:51
"You guys are going to be late for read through." You know what I think happened, Sher? I try to time it out without letting everyone know that I'm
00:05:57
falling apart at the seams. So I said, "Okay, if she comes over at 11:00, we
00:06:02
get down there, I'll have food by 11:20 or something like it was a little too close. I don't have anything on me." Which now I do usually. So she picks me
00:06:10
up and she's like, "Here's her dumb bad idea. Let's walk." I go, "Walk 30
00:06:15
blocks." Sherry, I walked all the time. It was the only time we were outside. I know. know it was a good idea because
00:06:22
I wanted to get that 6 minutes of sunshine when it's above the buildings and it's like noon and then it goes back to shade and
00:06:29
shadows but I said oh my god this is going to tack on
00:06:34
to I got to eat but I can't tell her so I started I got about two blocks away I started hearing hello doctor
00:06:42
she's like you're not listening to my story I'm like I'm trying to survive
00:06:48
cannot believe I'm laughing You were at my house once in Cino and you didn't say anything. Your eyes went
00:06:53
back in your head and you jumped in your truck like okay he's got to go. There was not like you all right or what?
00:06:59
Got to go and go to Burger King. Now I want to put this in my head because I the audience may not know the story. So
00:07:05
this is sort of mid9s and you guys are walking in Manhattan down 6th Avenue or
00:07:11
something. Upper West Side possibly. All right. And and you don't really know each other but you're having lunch. No, we do.
00:07:16
Kind of. You did? No, we know each other from the show and I said, "Let's eat." Yeah. I said, "Let's eat." I think we
00:07:22
over overlapped one year. One year. Okay. And it was And we walked to work. Uh
00:07:27
Sherry's idea, obviously. And then we got there and then I blanked out and then drenched in sweat on the floor cuz
00:07:33
I hadn't eaten. And then she was like, "Oh, this guy's a real puss." But you know, this is what the show does to you.
00:07:39
At least you saw. And then we got to work and I we forgot about it. And then he would say he you would tell
00:07:45
me the funniest stories. You go, "Uh, sure." I go up I go up to this really pretty
00:07:52
girl at the bar and say, "Hey, excuse me. Um, aren't you aren't you on
00:07:59
TV? Aren't you like really famous and uh like you're a real bonafide celebrity?
00:08:06
You're like you're amazing. You're really talented and Oh my god, I'm so sorry. That's me. Hi
00:08:13
[Laughter] That's a good line. I mean, I'd never
00:08:18
heard that. I David has a game. Now, I I have to say that's partially
00:08:25
true because I try I would try not to milk it that long when I go, "Oh my god. Wait, are you on TV?" Oh, no. No, wait.
00:08:31
That's me. Hi, I'm Dave. David, don't call me. I'll call you.
00:08:39
That's you, David. You whenever you called me, I was picked up and everything. I called you uh nothing. Uh
00:08:46
like flatline. Nothing. Sherry, I want to jump ahead a few
00:08:51
years. You were in Europe recently. Was it yesterday?
00:08:56
No, it was like two weeks ago. Oh, cuz I keep watching your Instagram and all your ridiculous You kind of do
00:09:03
what I do where you just go do these stupid little things. I like when people tell me that. They go, I like your stupid [ __ ] You do your pointless,
00:09:10
unfunny stuff. Well, I like it. That's nice. I like when I get to I have to turn the
00:09:16
air conditioning on. I love when I get to do it. Um when I think of something last minute, anything. I never, you
00:09:23
know, um do anything that's uh thought of, you
00:09:29
know, as you can tell. Um right. Like thought out ahead. Yeah. That's why it's funny. I saw a couple of
00:09:35
them hysterical. Yeah. And then wait, but wait a second. I don't know what's what's gonna happen, but guess who guess who calls me?
00:09:42
Who? Oh, I thought in my head when I saw
00:09:47
that, I thought, did is she doing an ad? I thought, you know, because I did that because I
00:09:53
always crack up at those commercials that start with, um, I like to live an active lifestyle,
00:09:59
you know, and it's hard with poop in my diapers and then they go on. And, uh, so that's
00:10:06
what I was doing. I didn't hashtag doax or anything like that. I just was because I did it in Portugal too. I was
00:10:12
doing a bike tour in Portugal course and I go I like to live an active lifestyle.
00:10:18
Um and with Dolax I can hard seat soft stool. Thanks Dolax.
00:10:27
that I my mind first of all they were tidy and perfect and you're right duck
00:10:34
who's who called you and are you going to do a commercial? I just need to cut to the chase. Um I don't know. I mean I uh they're
00:10:41
going back and forth and talking and um they also represent Coace and Metamucil.
00:10:47
So whoa you're going to be busy. I'm gonna have my own [ __ ] show.
00:10:57
Oh, dude. Welcome to my [ __ ] show. What do you have to do? Just say you
00:11:02
poop your pants sometimes? That's fine. No, you can't. You know what, you guys? When I was going to do um on New Year's Eve uh with
00:11:10
um Anderson and um and Andy um on CNN's New Year's Eve and I had done I had
00:11:18
written this thing where Barbara Walters was, you know, promoting her own podcast. Of course, right. Yeah.
00:11:23
Um, it was uh Baba Walters podcast from stature to the streets brought to you by
00:11:29
Dolax. Hard interview soul and here I had it all. I I was so proud
00:11:38
of this sketch and I I rehearsed it the night before New Year's Eve and then I
00:11:44
went downstairs to meet my friend for dinner and I get a call. Sher,
00:11:50
Barbara just passed. Oh, no. Yeah. And ruined your bit.
00:11:56
Jeez. Yeah, but that's the first thing you thought. No, I I actually thought I I don't think
00:12:04
I should do it. That's what I thought. Like, you know, um you can't do it, you know. Uh but um
00:12:11
I ended up after you cried about Barbara Walers for a while. Well, I stayed up I stayed up all night and I just started writing
00:12:18
down things, you know, and and then they said, "Sherry, we want you to say something, you know, about her
00:12:24
on the show." Yeah. Instead of me doing my bit and then and so
00:12:29
Yeah. So, um it was good that I started writing something and I and I wrote something. I go, "Listen, this is what I wrote, but you you know, I'll say
00:12:35
whatever you want me to say." and they go, "No, every what we're going to say is what everybody is saying, but what
00:12:41
you just are saying is something more personal, you know, and it was really
00:12:47
weird because so many people reached out to me as if I was her daughter or
00:12:53
something, you know, and I felt like I was glad that I said something, you know." And what did you say and where was it?
00:12:59
At home base and you came out, I'm sure Anderson Cooper is like outside. They
00:13:04
were they were both outside and then they showed me interviewing her as her because on the last day of the view I
00:13:11
interviewed her as her and I remember them saying Sher she's never going to go for that. She's
00:13:17
never going to go for that. I'm like that you ask me what I want to do. I want to So they had I wrote it with
00:13:23
Frank Pietro. I wrote something. They fly me in. We are dressed exactly alike.
00:13:29
We look exactly like we're sitting across from each other. And she says, "Um,
00:13:35
we're, you know, the cameras are setting up." And then she looks at the mom and she goes, "My hair, my hair." And her
00:13:41
hair guy comes in. He walks off. And then she's making small talk with me. And then she goes, "My hair? Why? Why
00:13:49
does my hair look like this?" And then her hair guy comes in and judges her and
00:13:55
then goes back. And then we're right about to to about shoot. And then she
00:14:00
looks and she goes, What the hell is going on with my hair? And then comes me and whispers to her.
00:14:06
He whispers, "Barbara, you're looking at Sherry's monitor." Oh my god. Is that real?
00:14:13
Yes. Oh [ __ ] I thought she was going to go my hair, meaning your hair. No. No. No. And the greatest thing was
00:14:20
she laughed so hard and you know she's so controlled that to see her laugh like
00:14:28
Yeah. you you know really laugh. Um I mean it made me feel so good. Still no
00:14:34
one fixed my hair but um no one cared about Oh, you're the comedian. She's the
00:14:40
comedian, you know. Do your jokes clown. But that was that was like that was like a highlight of my career in viewing her
00:14:47
as her. So Dana, I'm a um 5hour energy guy. I

00:16:39
to order yours today. I will say, Sherry, this is nothing to do with you, but um and we'll cut it, but one time I
00:16:46
got to get interviewed by Barbara Walters and then just a quick one and then afterwards we took a picture and
00:16:52
then my mom loved her so she goes, "What's your mom's name?" That's not a good one, but you know, you could say
00:16:58
it. But I said, "Oh, Judy." And then she took a piece of paper off my desk and just wrote a note to her. And then I put
00:17:06
it in the picture and sent it to my mom. Isn't that sweet? That's really nice. That was nice of her. She was very
00:17:13
sweet. It was just one of these like I was part of a seven people, you know,
00:17:18
like she do an hour of like interesting people. I would think I was watered down
00:17:23
like marginally interesting people. That was like one of her She had so many specials for top 10 most
00:17:29
interesting people. Yeah. You know, um it was something like that. My It's funny because my cousin Mary
00:17:35
called me and she goes in Jersey and she goes, "Cherry, you know Barbara's leaving. you should do something. And I go, "Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." Two
00:17:41
weeks go by. She goes, "Hey, I called the gang at the view." I said, "Excuse me?" "Yeah." Um, I called them at the
00:17:49
view and I told him that I think you should do something and and I go, "You
00:17:54
you did what?" And she goes, "Yeah, I talked to the producer and um I told him I thought you should do something." He
00:18:00
said it was a good idea and that um he he'd get back to you when it was closer
00:18:05
to and I was like, "All right, well, at least they were really nice to her. That's sweet. And then like two months later, I get a call from the producer.
00:18:11
Sherry, your cousin Mary called us with a good idea. I swear to you, it was because of my
00:18:18
cousin Mary Otaryi that I got that interview to interview her as her. Oh, that's good. She was I my only story
00:18:25
is that she wanted to interview me. I was at the Beverly's hotel. I'd had some health issue and I got in the tabloids
00:18:32
and people were after me for kind of that, you know, type of interview. Got to get her to talk. break silence.
00:18:38
So, so I would say that she left 25 voicemails all all night long. I want
00:18:46
Sherry to do the voice. This is what she would say. Hi Dan, this is Barbara Walters. If we could just talk for a
00:18:51
moment, I would appreciate it so much if you would call me back. And it was just all night long. More more more
00:18:57
voicemails. Are you serious? Yeah. Yeah. She really want I mean I saw
00:19:02
why she's so successful. I mean she was like relentless. Yeah. She wanted me to host the show
00:19:07
because I remember Meredith Vieira was stuck in Buffalo and it was a big snowstorm and then I said, "Oh, you
00:19:14
guys." I got a call that morning and I go, "You I'm not good at that." Like I I'm not a standup. I'm I'm very I'm not
00:19:22
good off the cuff. You mean you want a bit to do that you write, not to go like sometimes when you
00:19:28
go on Stern, he goes, "Hey, do Donald Trump if he just heard about this?" And then you have to riff and riff and it's
00:19:35
very hard to not stand up. You know what I mean? You have the, you know, you have that muscle and so and they go, "Oh,
00:19:43
Sherry, um, look out your window." And I looked out my window and there's a car with a driver standing goes, "Uh,
00:19:49
she wants you in that car. Get in. Get in the car." Wow. And then I went and I did the show and
00:19:55
they were like, "Wow, she was right. This is not She doesn't know how to do it. This is not
00:20:00
I was quiet. I had I was so nervous. I was Yeah, I was pretty quiet and they
00:20:06
didn't ask Dana, your last four messages from her at 3:00 a.m. were like, "You up? You up?"
00:20:11
And you're like, "These are getting more like a booty call." Well, what would I would assume that
00:20:17
last? Oh, yo, yo. Yeah, I want to interview. I'm going to throw you one because I I think you can talk as Barbara Walters.
00:20:24
just like, okay, she's at BaskinRobins, but she can't decide what which ice
00:20:29
cream she wants, and she's really torturing the employees there. What is in the mocha roa?
00:20:39
Didn't take you too long. Are they nuts? Are they nuts?
00:20:46
Cuz apparently everyone is dying from them.
00:20:51
angry, aggressive. Yeah, that's funny because I assume while you were on SNL
00:20:58
that when you had one of your characters and there was a couple of writers around basically you would just riff, you know,
00:21:05
and get things started. They'd laugh. They write they write for the hooks or there was a lot of that, I'll bet.
00:21:10
Well, I started writing um Lauren really wanted me to do her on 2020, so I did. And then uh
00:21:17
Daryl did Hugh Downs and um Hugh Yeah. Hugh and probably did it perfect.
00:21:25
Amazing. He was amazing. And one guy told me he goes, "You think you're the biggest star in Arizona? You
00:21:31
know who is?" Hugh Downs. I go, "Okay, no argument." He
00:21:36
I hope he I hope he's out of the way now. And then that led to interviewing, you
00:21:41
know, she was everywhere. She was and you know and then once I got comfortable doing her it was a blast.
00:21:48
Yeah. Yeah. What about what was what was the lady what was she talking about Dana when she was on and she kept acting out her mom
00:21:55
coming in the room or something. What was that story? Oh when you were on before there was we were dying because it was just all about
00:22:01
your childhood and your fantasy life coming home. Oh yeah. You were like think you're in a soap watching soap. You had this fantasy life
00:22:09
and then your mother sometimes would be disappointed and come in the room and say stuff. Would you just give us
00:22:14
No, it was when I was growing up it was doggy dog. It was chaos.
00:22:19
Okay. I mean things were thrown. There was no semblance of any kind of civility. And
00:22:26
so I was really hooked on I was hooked on soap opers because of the civility. And I thought
00:22:34
and I thought I want our home life to be like that where the TV isn't on 24 hours a day.
00:22:42
And and then she would come home and I would set up on our radiator and mock bar
00:22:48
because in the 70s they always came home and the so far I went straight to the bar and you know open the car. Yeah. And
00:22:55
I would put Kool-Aid in a see-through vase and have the the um the the ice
00:23:02
cubes in my jelly glass. You know, all those jellies that you turned into a glass with the cartoon characters on it
00:23:09
and I'd have a scarf around my neck. And you're by yourself. How old are you? No, she's waiting for mom to get home.
00:23:16
You're 10. No, no, no. It was truly it was like in my mind she's walking up the out outside
00:23:23
uh the front porch steps and I'm like action and then she walks in and I said
00:23:29
oh mother you startled me I wasn't expecting you and um I said I've got my
00:23:35
test results back today and you know how I would always stare um at the camera in
00:23:42
my mind because in soap offers the person stood in back of them and they kept looking front, you know, never and
00:23:49
um because I'm thinking the camera's right here and I would say I got my test results back. Um
00:23:55
and then she would still wouldn't answer me and I go, "Uh, would you like to know?" And she goes, "Who the [ __ ] are you talking to? Turn around." And I'm
00:24:02
like, "Cut." And uh let's set this up again.
00:24:08
You know, she can't curse. She can't curse. And uh and then I would do it um
00:24:14
do it again. and I would just I would pretend we were like in a in a
00:24:21
soap opera and I would be the only one speaking that way. But, you know, um I like it.
00:24:26
It was just really um me living in a fantasy world and
00:24:31
always pretending like I we had a normal home, you know. I used to
00:24:37
Did you ever have therapy and talk about this? It's pretty heavy stuff. Or is this it with us? We had really
00:24:44
This is pretty much it. I mean, I I'm a licensed therapist, so I um we do this
00:24:51
to see which one's the least crazy, but we're also crazy. No, but that was that was the good that
00:24:56
came out of it. You know what I mean? That wasn't that wasn't what I talked about, you know? It was maybe what made me do
00:25:04
that, but that was me waking up and okay, how can I make my world
00:25:11
cope? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And didn't didn't you do a biblical one too with a ladle or something? Oh, I remember watching I loved uh the
00:25:20
Ten Commandments. Yes, me too. And uh I would go into the kitchen and
00:25:25
she'd be talking to her friend and she always said, "What do you want?" And
00:25:30
when you'd walk in and interrupt him. Yeah. What do you want? Um uh mother, I
00:25:36
I thought I'd get maybe a beverage, a glass of Kool-Aid. Hi Adele. It's nice to see you again. you know, and I was
00:25:42
always talking as if we were civilized. And um and then she said, "One more
00:25:48
time, what do you want?" And then I go, "Mom, will you um" and I
00:25:53
would get a ladle and I would fill it with water and I go, "Will you just hand this to me?" And she's like, "What the
00:25:59
[ __ ] Sher?" And then my mom's friend would say, "I'll hand it to you, honey." And then my mom go, "I'll hand it to
00:26:04
her." And so she would hand it to me and I would drink it. I go, "You are kind.
00:26:14
And then I would say to her friend, I would say to her friend, "You are strong. You stood up to the Malachite."
00:26:22
And you, you are strong like bull. You stood up to the Malachite. I will dwell in this land. I will partake of your
00:26:29
bounty. And she goes, "Dwell in the other room."
00:26:34
It's like, "Go watch Gilligan's Island." I'm constantly having to yell in my mind, "Cut, cut.
00:26:43
It was going so good, too. And then you have to hire her. Who hired her?
00:26:50
Who did she sleep with to get this job? Who was there a lady that said, um,
00:26:56
remember this one, Dana, when she goes, I I'm keeping this. When you say I'm keeping, it's funny. That's a normal
00:27:01
thing with neighbors when you throw [ __ ] in their yard. That was from when I was a little girl and my grandmom before the
00:27:08
this was before the the uh in Atlantic City before the casinos and everybody from South Philly was the casino. Yeah.
00:27:15
there. Everybody from South Philly had were were was in this area and everybody's grandmother lived with them
00:27:22
and they all policed the street in their house coats and slippers and kneeh highs
00:27:27
and um I just remember we would all be playing ball in the street and whenever anything would land on uh like my
00:27:36
grandmom's porch or anybody's porch, the grandmother would come. I keep it now. Have your mother come get it. You happy?
00:27:43
Yeah, I see that finger. I'll break it. You know, somebody gave her the finger now
00:27:48
and and but really they just wanted the person's mother to come over so they
00:27:54
could, you know, shoot the [ __ ] and talk, you know, send your mother. Some things are so funny that I can't I
00:28:00
can't laugh at the moment, but I just wanted for a second go back where the friend says they'll hand you the ladle
00:28:06
and you take a drink. And what did you say to the friend after you took the drink?
00:28:12
I said, um, Uh yeah. Uh you are strong. You stood up
00:28:17
to the Malachite. Um I will dwell in this land. I will
00:28:23
partake of your bounty. It's all from the Ten Commandments. I know. But it's just so
00:28:28
How often did this happen? Yeah, it's great. I mean, was it every day? Was it twice a week? Did you have siblings? And were
00:28:34
they in Nobody truly knew what I was doing. No one secret. Nobody cared. It was almost
00:28:40
like I was truly in my own world. And you guys, I have to say, you know, um I
00:28:48
wrote a movie about it. Oh, you did? Yeah. Called Our Lady. Can we talk about this?
00:28:54
Yes. I think you were starting to write it or something. So, what what or tell us about that because I think you were
00:29:00
It's called Our Lady of Perpetual Sorrow. Oh, it's the name of the Catholic school she
00:29:06
goes to. Our Lady of Perpetual Lisaro is playing um Tears of St. Joseph's this
00:29:12
weekend. Are you going? It's like the Catholic school names were horrendous.
00:29:20
That we had OPH and is that a normal one? Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Oh, I Yeah, I think that is Our Lady of
00:29:28
Perpetual Sorrow. Oh, it is. Mhm. Oh, sorrow sounds like more of a bummer.
00:29:34
You're right. I know, but I just think it's so funny that that's named as well. So, you wrote this movie and
00:29:41
Yeah. was it and it's really about your this this part of your childhood. I I just this
00:29:48
popped to my head. I don't talk about before. Did your mom was she around for your smashing fame blast success?
00:29:56
Yeah, she was um uh she was living she was she's in Philly.
00:30:02
Okay. Disbelief. I mean, because then did it all connect for her? This this kid is always acting out and doing these
00:30:09
things. I truly don't think so. She I'm imagining her saying she was alone a lot. Huh.
00:30:19
Some parents are jealous. Some parents are jealous when their kids if they had aspirations especially sometimes you
00:30:25
read that they're kind of actually a little bit jealous of their own child's success in show business if they weren't
00:30:30
didn't get to pursue it. Um, I don't think she could have imagined that that would have happened,
00:30:37
you know, at all. At all. Uh, and then I saw her in an interview
00:30:42
once. Somebody interviewed her in Philadelphia and she's like, "Oh, I always knew like what?
00:30:53
Like what?" I mean, my brother and I did make her laugh a lot, but I grew up
00:30:59
I was very influenced by my mom, you know, she wasn't
00:31:04
very happy and so I did whatever I could to make her happy. So, um, so she
00:31:12
listened and whenever she laughed, I paid attention whenever she laughed and she listened to comedy albums all the
00:31:21
time. She listened to George Carlin, uh, Chichin Chong, she listened to, um, Bill
00:31:27
Cosby, she listened to Woody Allen, and, uh, I and I swear it all that stuff
00:31:36
stuck in my head and even if I didn't understand something, I would understand it in the context of what they said, you
00:31:43
know, and that probably I think that's what made my sense of humor maybe a
00:31:48
little bit more advanced, you know, and my age was listening and memorizing
00:31:54
these albums. And um I remember when I was in school, I was like second grade and they said um
00:32:00
you know who has a has a joke they'd like to tell and you know a kid is like why' the guy throw a butter out the
00:32:07
window? I don't know Timmy why you went to see a butterfly. Oh that was very very good. And I'm like I went to the
00:32:14
doctor the other day and he told me I was schizophrenic. I said no I'm not. Neither am I.
00:32:22
And this is like second grade. The nun goes, "Sit your head down, Miss Motion." And I'm like, "Oh, the nun."
00:32:27
I'm like, "Oh, rough crowd. Rough crowd." You're just doing an album of God.
00:32:33
I'm 8 years old. Yeah. It killed in my living room.
00:32:39
It's funny cuz you you probably Yeah. It's a little more sophisticated when you're seeing what makes her laugh and then you go, "What about that joke? If
00:32:46
if I don't get it, what's the funny part there? What does she like about that?" And you have to break it down a little bit.
00:32:52
Hearing her laugh was music to my ears. Sure. You know, especially in a
00:32:58
stressful house. And then I remember I never saw her laugh so hard and she w she watched this
00:33:04
movie Where's Papa with George Seagull and Ruth Gordon and she was crying
00:33:09
laughing so hard. And then I got to do Just Shoot Me with George. Yeah. And I said that to him and I said,
00:33:15
"And me, and you, Jesus Christ, he's easy. I He's great. I
00:33:21
mean, David was uh the f of that." No, I don't know if you remember, I was on the set, too. If you look at the call sheet, if you haven't won.
00:33:27
No, I love George. He was so funny. God damn. But I would love to. I had And he got such a kick. I go, I never saw my mother
00:33:33
as a kid laugh so hard is when she watched You and Ruth Gordon and Where's Where's Papa? And he's like, "Really?
00:33:40
Really?" He was very sweet. It was so fun to do that show. Just shoot me for sure. What was the You were an
00:33:47
assistant that obsessed with Maya or something? No, like I was kind of like
00:33:53
they were they were treating me as if I were kind of like a a dog that they rescued.
00:34:00
And did you do an arc? Yeah, I they brought me back again and then I got nominated for an Emmy. And
00:34:08
I'm I'm thinking to myself, this was me. Sure. you got nominated for. I was like, "Oh my god, for SNL." And they go, "No,
00:34:14
just shoot me." And I go, "That was a cakewalk." Oh yeah.
00:34:20
I mean, yeah. How like I'm writing and I'm like, you know, working my ass up all night long
00:34:27
writing and, you know, for SNL and pressure and I get nominated for
00:34:33
like a going on a vacation. doing your show was like the first sitcom I ever did and I was like, "My god, this is
00:34:40
amazing. No matter what, you're gonna be written for." God, that's exactly how I felt getting
00:34:45
on it. And I had all these great writers and I'm like, they'll put you 90% there. They'll go, "If you think of an ending
00:34:51
just or if you think of something here, just put it." I'm like, "So, wait, you're writing for me every week." I
00:34:56
know. And then I just say it and it's funny. And I'm like, "This is a miracle." And David, what was so wonderful is they
00:35:03
got your voice. And so that was interesting to watch. Like you saw the
00:35:08
beginning of the show and everything and then it was just like they knew how to write for you because your voice was so
00:35:14
um was so strong, you know. And uh I was just And then I remember they're miss uh
00:35:20
Mr. Turi, what do you want in your in your eggs? I go, what's your angle? [Laughter]
00:35:27
What do I want in my eggs? What do you mean? Oh, you're bringing me breakfast. What do you want?
00:35:32
Yeah. Such a gift. Those things are good. You get on a sitcom that's good and it's just so much fun.
00:35:38
So Terry, could you hand me this ladle? Okay. No. Um
00:35:44
it was just I couldn't believe what a great atmosphere it was. I remember when you pitched what if my
00:35:50
character recites the whole Ten Commandments movie and we were like well it feels like it would be too long. It's
00:35:56
funny when you're a kid those movies are on like three times a month and then when you're adult you never see them.
00:36:02
I know. I know. We dated all year. And then I remember moving California and I
00:36:07
was going to Ralph's in my car and I had my turn signal on and this guy just right in front of me and got right and I
00:36:16
I put my car in park. I didn't park it. I put it in park, got out, went over to
00:36:21
the guy and he gets out and it was Charlton Husband. No. Yes. Wow.
00:36:28
And I was like, Dana, what would he say? I've never seen you before. No, I'm
00:36:35
doing Phil Hartman. Sorry. Charlton H was was um the host when I
00:36:42
was there and uh Lauren's dream with Church Lady would be with, you know, Moses.
00:36:48
Yes. And then there was a meeting in the office and just not my cup of tea. And then Lauren kept pushing and I was like,
00:36:54
"No, no, no. It's all right. You don't have to do it. You don't have to do it." But that was Lauren's dream. And Billy Billy Crystal, his album, um, I cracked
00:37:03
up. My mom loved Billy Crystal and I loved him. And he he does, Do you ever think of the worst casting ever? And he
00:37:10
said, "How about Edward G. Robinson in the Ten Commandments? Where's your Messiah now, Moses? Where's your Messiah
00:37:16
now?" I remember that. I listen to Billy. It
00:37:21
was funny. Even when I was eight years old watching, Messiah.
00:37:27
Yeah, fancy fancy some kind of god person. Yeah, I was the same way. I saw
00:37:34
it when I was seven or something and then I came home and there was a Bible and I started reading it. I was like
00:37:40
completely converted for that moment. I know. It made me feel, you know, because I went to Catholic school and it
00:37:46
just like, you know, reinforced everything and I was such a big Jesus fan. Um, growing up
00:37:54
when I used to Sherry when I was younger, I'd be watch like the rock block of like Happy Days and Le and
00:38:01
Shirley and whatever else and MASH and [ __ ] I'd always want my mom to watch it with me. I don't know why. I wanted her
00:38:06
to laugh. Yeah. And then she'd just be kind of half paying attention. Luckily, we didn't have phones. She'd be on her phone, but
00:38:12
she'd stare at it and then she'd kind of drift off and I'm like, "This is a shitty one." You know, because I want
00:38:17
her so badly laugh. But, you know, it just wasn't her cup of tea. You could tell. But she would be excited that I liked it. But I I was the same way. You
00:38:24
wanted her to crack up. Oh, I wanted cuz she was always stressed out. Oh my god. It was like she was not
00:38:30
happy. And that was before, you know, like anti-depressants and and you know
00:38:36
what I mean? Yeah. They were raw dogging it. Yeah. They were raw dogging it. Yeah. She I don't think Yeah. Yeah.
00:38:42
She wasn't even a drinker. I'm like, "Mom, go ahead and drink. I'll give you this." It's the dad left. You got three
00:38:47
[ __ ] kids. I mean, I know. I remember smelling pot one time and um
00:38:53
but here's a funny thing. I used to like clean her room, make her bed and you know, so she'd come home and be really
00:38:59
happy, you know, and I'll never forget lifting her mattress up and I was a kid
00:39:04
and I'm like there was a gun, a dildo, and a bag of something,
00:39:10
a satchel. And this was me, a go bag. This was me. I'm like the [ __ ]
00:39:17
I was a kid and I just thought I don't know what's in that satchel, but I'm not going to look.
00:39:23
No, that was heartbreaking. More dildos. No, no, no. I'm thinking it's got to be
00:39:29
it's it might be bullets or drugs or or whatever, but I'm like, you know, a little girl innocent making my mom's bed
00:39:36
and everything. It's five grand a go bag. She just goes, "Sorry, guys. Got to go pass." Every kid at some point rifles through
00:39:43
their parents. Oh my god. My brother would got would took my mom's dildo. He must have been
00:39:48
like five. And he would go off the street, put it to his neck in front of all his friends and go, "If I had a
00:39:54
hammer, I'd hammer in the morning and it would make his voice."
00:40:00
And um he was doing build dildo bits at school. Well, they didn't know what it was and he would just turn it on and then put it
00:40:06
to his neck. And uh that well the folk music u mashup was pretty
00:40:13
mashup. I can see all his friends. Let me try. Let me try. And uh
00:40:18
this dildo is your dildo. This dildo is my dildo seem fun if you don't know what
00:40:24
they're for. Right. And my mom, of course, is not going to say, "Where's my dildo?" We're like, "What's a dildo?"
00:40:29
Yeah. But that's in the movie. She's like, "Did you see my squirt gun?" It's kind of like a squirt gun. It's
00:40:34
kind of how do I describe it? Have you seen my rocket? You know, my Jud Appetite is a bit where he says,
00:40:39
"The guy had this growing up in high school and he says it's hard to
00:40:44
whisper." He's like at a party going that girl had an abortion. He's okay.
00:40:50
She said, "You need a volume on that.
00:40:57
See that girl by the punch."
00:41:04
Everyone just thought about Jab and now they're like that's a rough joke outed his joke. Yeah,
00:41:11
that was funny. So Sherry
00:41:16
Buddy Sherry now you never caught up with Pudgy Wedgie. Pudgy wudgy
00:41:22
Pudgy Wedgie was in France France. You were screaming at some wedgie. Yeah,
00:41:28
that was when I was on the beach in New Jersey
00:41:33
and when we were kids there was Well, you're keeping up with the Kardashians. I'm keeping up with the fudgy wedgie man at the Jersey Shore.
00:41:39
Fudgy fudgy wy
00:41:45
dude. You hit that. Are you vlogging your day? Well, I'm actually watching my weight. I
00:41:52
should have a fudgy wy I'm watching my weight says it twice. Yeah, just you. Just you.
00:41:58
Oh, improv is listening. Go ahead. That I that got like a a million or
00:42:04
something and I'm like I'm sure screaming, you know, because when we were kids, it
00:42:09
was a fudge wedgie guy and these guys when we were kids were all like like old
00:42:14
Vietnam vets and they were carrying this freezer on their back. They didn't have the wheels and they were miserable and
00:42:21
dripping and just miserable guys. But we would, you know, scream fudgy wudgy. So
00:42:26
I said to my friend Mary Joe, I go, "What if we screamed as adults like we did when we were kids for the fudgy
00:42:32
budgy guy?" So that's what I what I did that. Um, yeah. But then when I caught up to him and I
00:42:37
saw how good-looking he was, I was like, "Who was that um [ __ ] screaming?"
00:42:43
Because I'm just a lady. But I think she ran off. I saw that little attitude at the end of
00:42:48
my Yeah, I know. He was hot. He was he got all up in your shot. Very hot. And then but he was a kid,
00:42:55
too. You know, and then uh a friend of a friend called me and she goes, "That's my friend's son." And I'm like, "Yeah,
00:43:01
yeah, that's right. That's right." Um and then the next day or two days later, I did it. That guy was even better
00:43:07
looking than that guy. And I went up and screamed. I was like, "Holy, these fudgy wedgie guys are not my fudgy wedgie guys
00:43:14
anymore." Did you do your fudgy wedgie bit again? Yeah, I did. Um but now everybody's
00:43:19
like, "Oh, fudgy wedgie." And I'm like, uh, um, they were doing a fudgy wudgy
00:43:25
calendar because these guys are so hot. So, I think I pretty much gave her the idea, the one who owns the fudgy wudgy
00:43:32
kind of, uh, franchise. And then they wanted me to come out and do the
00:43:37
calendar and scream their names or just be in the calendar. And I'm like,
00:43:42
okay. I go out and she's supposed to pay for the air.
00:43:48
Didn't pay for it. Look at how far this story got. Didn't pay for it. Okay. Uh she told me where she was putting me
00:43:54
up. It she didn't put me up there. It was like a dive motel and she just like
00:43:59
kind of got me under the out there under false pretenses and it never happened. And
00:44:05
she kind of fudged the truth. Yeah, she Yeah, she fudged the truth. But um Yeah.
00:44:10
Yeah. It's so funny like what people like it's it's
00:44:15
Yeah. I I would say immediately when I heard it is that it wasn't so much
00:44:20
enthusiastic. There was an aggression to it. Um and then saying fudgy wudgy super
00:44:27
innocent silly ice cream, but a real aggression. I mean, so that's and a lady doing instead of a kid.
00:44:33
I mean, I just thought you feel it. And I just wanted to make her laugh,
00:44:39
you know. And I was like, uh, my friend laugh because that's what we did. When the when the ice cream man
00:44:44
came down the street, my brother would scream at the top of his lungs, "Wait a minute. Wait a minute."
00:44:52
And then you'd have to go get the dollar from your mom and then, you know, make sure it stopped. The truck stopped.
00:44:58
Yeah. Yeah. You also do stuff. Sometimes I do like a museum. Like when I'm on the
00:45:03
road, you go to do something you never do and then you just do bits inside because like you're in a museum, right?
00:45:09
Oh yeah. I was at um the Palace of Versailles. Oh.
00:45:16
And then you were filming shenanigans. Uh yeah. You know, you just get fun,
00:45:22
you know, because I was looking at everything and I was just, you know, getting I was interested and then a
00:45:27
little bored. Interested, a little bored. So whenever I got bored, I was just I would just like film what I saw.
00:45:34
Of course, on the thing. It's funny. It's always funny to do that [ __ ] It kills time. When you're on the road, we
00:45:40
go, "Let's go to the zoo. Let's go to museum." Whatever's in the And I never think of that when I'm home.
00:45:45
It's always when I'm away, something will make me say, "Oh, let me shoot
00:45:50
this. Let me let me get this." You know? Um Well, you're out of your element. I think you're out of what you do every
00:45:55
day. And so suddenly it's you have to have new adventures to think of new bits and stuff.
00:46:00
Yeah. I mean, yeah, I guess so. You know, you have to be, you know, inspired
00:46:06
and um I'm not inspired when I'm home, right? Wow. This is Well, with the duck duke, what is it?
00:46:12
Duckux. With that one, did you say to your your friend? I'll be there and all I'm going to drive past frame and you're
00:46:18
going to hit it like in turn and you know. Yeah. But that had a slight moment of planning
00:46:23
just for a second. You go there. I'll go. No, because we No, we were we were at Here it was. We were on another tour
00:46:30
and uh getting the history of Paris and I'm like, "All right, so um I learned enough. I
00:46:36
think we're going to do something funny." And so I said to my friend, "Here, just
00:46:42
get me a get me a riding down the street. Stay on me. Stay on me." Um but I'm telling you,
00:46:49
wherever I go, I love to do bike tours. Love to do bike tours. I don't want to walk
00:46:55
I want a bike. Oh, wow. Mhm. There we are. Oh, there he is. Lifestyle like Viking in Paris. And
00:47:01
with Doax, I can. Hard seat, soft sto. Thanks, Dolax.
00:47:07
Excuse the evil play. Forgot about your tag.
00:47:13
Yeah. Again, that that piercing thing the laugh because it's so violent and
00:47:18
it's it's great. You have a good yell. Who's the soft pretty lady?
00:47:24
When was the last time you did cheerleaders? On the show. Oh, really?
00:47:30
What did you do on the 50th? I missed it. Were you there? Did you do anything? No, I was not asked to do anything. I
00:47:35
sat in the audience. Bastards. That's fine. Waste of talent.
00:47:41
Sherry. But Adam Adam gave me a shout out in his song. Oh, he did?
00:47:47
Yeah. And I thanked him afterwards. I go, "Hey, thanks. That was the most I was in the show."
00:47:53
What did he say? He's like, "Of course I'm going to name you." He was sweet. No. What did you say in the song?
00:47:59
He sung that song and he named, you know, Yeah. people on SNL.
00:48:04
Oh, he didn't name me. Brick. Um I think he's nominated for Well, you were actually on the show, so
00:48:12
you know, you were a favorite child. No, that was He had the line of the night. We've
00:48:19
talked about it when he was in the audience. That was the line of the night. What was it? David had it.
00:48:24
Yeah. Oh, I got a feel for it. Yeah. The big Broadway production that Were you there for that, Sher? Did you
00:48:30
leave by then? John Melany. Yeah. Honey, you were so funny. Okay, that was more like it. Thank you.
00:48:36
You were really, really funny. And everybody like, where's Dana? Where? Because everybody wants a controversy.
00:48:41
Dana, where is Dana? Where's Dana? Where's Where's Where's Bill her? Where's Dan Akroyd? Are they Are they
00:48:49
hanging out somewhere? Dana Akroy, Bill Hater, and Dana. No, they go Dana like I'm your
00:48:54
caretaker. They're like, "Where's Dana?" I'm like, "Oh, I shouldn't say, but he's not here."
00:49:00
Yeah. It's funny they even notice, you know, you're a big star because it's such a [ __ ] show of everywhere you turn there's
00:49:07
somebody famous. So for them to even It would have taken me weeks to go, "Oh, wait. You know who wasn't there?" You know, cuz you just
00:49:12
don't know. It's a blur. Well, there were so many famous people there that it was like he was also servicing,
00:49:19
you know, people outside of the um the cast, right? Yeah. You got hosts that can do
00:49:25
whatever they want. You've got uh Sabrina Carpenter. You have newer stars
00:49:31
and you have Paul Simon. They put them together. I would say the good nights for me watching it on television was
00:49:38
just like and seeing Lauren's body posture and the look on his face and like his whole life is there. It was
00:49:44
like a movie basically. Yeah. Um just him there 50 years, you
00:49:50
know, and just just what can you say about just Lord's kind of shy about his
00:49:57
feelings, you know, really. He hugged me and said, "I love
00:50:02
you so much." And I'm glad Dana is not here. I said, "Lord," he said, "You can't I'll
00:50:08
never repeat this. I'll never say I said this." Um you'll find that David's fair. Um,
00:50:15
Sherry will always bring something to the table. Um, nice and vague.
00:50:21
Yeah. Right. And, uh, uh, make sure David has some spaghettiio
00:50:27
waiting. And then everybody I know doesn't say anything to me after the show, but I
00:50:32
had, you know, because, you know, they're wondering why I wasn't. And uh but I did have the whole
00:50:43
week was really fun when I was there. Um uh doing Good Morning America and uh um
00:50:50
what else? Oh, and then doing Andy Cohen. Bravo. That was so much fun with the with the girls,
00:50:56
you know. So um Oh, yeah. That's right. Sure. Are you okay? Yeah. Oh, okay. I just saw what happened.
00:51:03
Um so what about after the show? Usually they get to just go, "Hey, good show.
00:51:09
Good show." But if you weren't in it, which they don't even know, you could have played a piece of toast in that millennium. No one can remember who exactly was in
00:51:15
it. If you had told me you were in it, I would I would go, "Oh, I great." Too long of a show to really remember.
00:51:22
Yeah. Million sketches. Everyone's playing up Statue of Liberty or something.
00:51:27
I had a good seat. I had a good seat. No, he had a good seat. Was anyone near you that was exciting to see? Um,
00:51:35
Rob Schneider. Yeah, I saw Rob and then Kevin Nean was sitting next to me and we were laughing.
00:51:41
Oh, Neilan's a good laugh. Yeah. Yeah. And did you go down and talk to Nicholson and sit on his lap?
00:51:47
I did. Wait a minute. Is Jack Nicholson there? He was He was in Adam song, too.
00:51:54
Maybe he just came out for the song. He did a little line. Were you in the spillover theater? Were you Was it in 30
00:52:00
Rock or were you down at the Warf? No. Uh,
00:52:05
I didn't see um Was he really there? You see Miley Cyrus? She was in the front row. Was she? Oh, yeah. Well, she she sung.
00:52:14
That's how you know if they were there.
00:52:19
Yeah. So, yeah, Jack. I think Jack came out mainly for Adam's song and then I think he he
00:52:25
went out because I think he was in not 100% health. I don't know for sure. But I when I walked by him, I of course
00:52:31
graced him with my presence. Are you doing grown-ups?
00:52:37
Easy. New grownup. Grown-ups three or leisa Gibbons.
00:52:42
[Laughter] Wait, Adam's ex-ups called Lisa Gibbons.
00:52:51
Is he Nancy Odell? Um, wait, you were in Grown-Ups 2, was it? Or first, or what?
00:52:57
Yeah, two. That was that was Oh, and you you [ __ ] wear your barret that Adam gave you and I so hilarious.
00:53:04
Um, and I love Steve Bushi played my husband. Oh, that's right. That's cool.
00:53:10
That's right. Oh my god. How many times people go, I saw you in Grown-Ups because it's on every single day. Oh my gosh. You know, the people say,
00:53:17
you know, this new gen the new generation, they say, um, aren't you the girl from uh from Grown-Ups? You know,
00:53:24
because yeah, they never watched the SNL. But um no, but yeah uh that was that was really
00:53:30
fun. I think I get grown more than anything now because it's on so much. Yeah,
00:53:36
for sure. Well, the big dumb comedy of the of the
00:53:41
'9s and and era are, you know, they kind of stand out, you know, because they're
00:53:46
just trying to be balls out funny physically and they're silly. I don't know. I think that some of the young
00:53:52
people there's so much they they like it. You know what? I would love seeing it on Instagram. I love when they show um out
00:53:58
takes of Tommy Boy. Oh my god, I crack up so hard. I
00:54:04
I love it because when I first saw it, I never saw it. I didn't I didn't know. I mean, you and him together were just I
00:54:12
mean on and off your friendship was just so adorable. But I could not I cracked
00:54:19
up at you two like just playing like brothers, right? just [ __ ] up lines and and he
00:54:25
would try to screw up every line and he'd laugh so hard or he'd yell at the crew and half the time I'd only react cuz I'm like, "My god, we're on hour 15.
00:54:33
You can't keep doing this. How are he would be like mayor of the set?" We'd walk in and he goes, "Hey, Steve, how
00:54:38
are you?" Did little Jimmy play this weekend? Okay. Is he first base? I'm like, "Are you running for mayor? Let's
00:54:44
go do the scene." Okay then. And then um but the the one thing he did that I
00:54:50
didn't do that I think I admitted that was so rude is when I went to his trailer to leave and it was after about
00:54:56
a month of shooting and I went in there and he got his [ __ ] and shockingly all
00:55:02
his wardrobe was folded on the bed and then I go you fold all your wardrobe
00:55:07
when you leave. He goes yeah don't you? And I go he goes where is it? I go I
00:55:13
don't know all over the room I just take it off and put my clothes on and leave. He's like, "What a dick." I go, "I know,
00:55:18
right? I didn't know you did that." I swear to God, that's how stupid I am. So, he would fold his little outfits on
00:55:25
and put them on the bed with the shoes. So, when wardrobe came, you said that was a wardrobe.
00:55:30
He didn't have to do that because they're going to throw them in a big bag and wash them, right? But that was like a nice thing of
00:55:36
growing up like he learned. I didn't learn that part. So, uh uh that's admittedly me being
00:55:42
wrong in that situation. But overall, I remember the Tommy boy one that I laughed the hardest at was when he's on the bed with me and he goes I go he goes
00:55:50
Zulinsk's going to come and he'll save us. I go, "Yeah, you're like, he seems like a nice guy." And I said it weird
00:55:56
and he goes, "Oh my god, what a dick." He just starts laughing so hard, but he
00:56:02
got I don't even know if we ruined if it ruined that take, but wasn't that wasn't that in It was in the movie and I think they
00:56:08
used that tape because it was a pause and then he started laughing and his laugh was so hilarious when I
00:56:14
saw that sad. Yeah, it's not even like he's working. You know what I mean? It's not even like you guys are working. You're just like
00:56:21
Yeah. goofing and getting to say funny lines and crack up at each other. Yeah, 100%. Um all right, we'll let you
00:56:27
go. We'll probably do a part three one day because it's so funny to have you on. Yeah. So much fun. Uh thank you, Sher. Love talking to you.
00:56:34
Love seeing you. I love you guys and um I'm so happy that you're killing it. Congratulations.
00:56:42
Jesus. Well, Scoo, keep your mouth shut, Scoob. Is that your dog, Dana?
00:56:48
No, it's not my dog. I'm I'm more donkeys spiders.
00:56:54
Well, we just had Sherry Otter, who uh we really like and uh was a
00:57:01
backed by pop demand and uh she she held up. Of course,
00:57:06
it was kind of fun, you know, because we wanted you all to see, you know, her
00:57:12
doing her mom and these kind of and now they're infamous stories of her childhood.
00:57:17
Yeah, she really goes deep with it. I like that part. She doesn't care. She just says really what's going on in that
00:57:22
childhood. I think a lot of people relate to that. Yeah, she's just she just has a just a
00:57:28
funny funny vibe. Like really just you start laughing when you see her effervescence. I like when she screams
00:57:35
the jokes at the people. It's so goddamn hilarious. You're right. It's also a little
00:57:41
It's also a little anger. Yeah, very angry. Just sounds funny.
00:57:48
[ __ ] wedgie. Well, we hope you liked it and uh thank you. Oh, she also has a
00:57:54
new project and uh it's a new charerie board, but she will tell you about it and then she made a
00:57:59
little video. So, she made a little video for you all to see and we'll see you next time on Flan the Wall without a guest.
00:58:07
What I'm so excited is about is I'm known for having doing great shuderie boards. And so I went to Philly and my
00:58:16
cousin works for this gourmet grocery store called De Bruno Brothers. They
00:58:22
have six stores in um in uh Philadelphia all over the area. And so they asked me
00:58:28
if I would design my own shakurerie board uh for their site. And it's called
00:58:35
the sherk cuderie board. Now that you're asking fellas, Sherry, what will I get
00:58:42
in my sher cuterie box? I'll tell you what you'll get, fellas. You're going to get a maestri puto italiano. You are
00:58:50
going to get de Bruno brothers Italian market pepperoni. You are going to get colton basset stilton.
00:58:59
And you are going to get parmesan reaniano and a cheese called a Compty Essex
00:59:05
reservation. It this cheese is so delicious. And then you're also going to get olive tamponade.
00:59:11
You are going to get dried Asian pears. That's going to go with the Stilton cheese beautifully. And then um a sea
00:59:18
salt crustini. Oh, you're going to get Mike's hot honey and also a bottle of um of
00:59:27
truffle oil. There's truffle cheese, you know, but I didn't want to put anything just in case you didn't want truffle, you didn't like truffle. So, you get a
00:59:34
beautiful bottle of truffle oil, so you can put on whatever you want. And for dessert, you're going to get a de Bruno
00:59:39
Brothers toffee and pretzel milk chocolate bar. Um,
00:59:44
these are so great for any occasion.
00:59:51
You don't have to do your shuderie board. Let me do your sherkerie
00:59:57
board for you. And you can get this at the brunros.com.
01:00:02
Um, let me see the second week in August. So yes, I'm very proud of my
