And he goes back in the like I don't have anything. You want me to make your peanut butter sandwich? I was like no I don't want that.

I had the pleasure of standing next to her as we both voiced characters in that animated show I did last year, Q Force, and she made me laugh really hard. She's the epitome of a workaholic. She doesn't stop working. And I'm not sure why she's on Smart List because she graduated validictorian of her class from Milton Academy before attending Colombia as a lit major. She starred in films like Obvious Child and Gifted. She's guest starred on Parks and Rex and Girls and everything funny you can think of. Earlier this year, she starred with our friend Charlie Day in the Amazon original romcom I Want You Back. And she is, of course, the star of my favorite animated character of all

time, Marcel, the Shell with shoes on. It's the wonderfully talented and hysterical Jenny Slay.

Jenny, Slay,, who's, really, great. Hi. Hi,, Jenny., Thanks, for, being, here., This is so cool. Oh my gosh, it's so I don't know if your guests say this a lot, but like the energy mounting waiting to be revealed and then all like it depends on what your personality is, but if you're like, "Oh my gosh, what if I'm like a bad surprise and no one cares or and then you guys are so funny and I was laughing and I didn't trust the mute."

I, was, like, maybe, like, maybe, I'll, laugh so hard I'll bust through the mute.

Okay., Um,, uh,, but you're, in, vaudeville, cuz, Sean, would, love to walk you through some of the

every, time, on, the, set, of, Will, and, Grace, they all did that to each other.

I, read, somewhere, once, that, you, were, like a massive OCD clean freak cuz I am a little bit of that too.

I, am. Yeah. Yeah., I've, got, a, problem., I'm, not. You, do?, What's, it, like, for, What's happening for you?

Like,, did, you, have, a, messy, childhood, Jenny, or something? Sorry, Jay. Yeah,, I, did., I, did, have, a, messy childhood.

Wait,, Jenny,, don't, drop, your, voice, and get real real with us. Okay, we know that.

Oh, boy. I, did, have, a, messy, I, think, right, I, did adjusting in my in my jeans. Um I did I did have a messy childhood. Yes, I did. Um I did I had a messy childhood and um but very clean grandmother's like tidy houses and there was just like a big obvious like oh I'm way less um stressed out at both of my nana's houses than in our house where it's like crazy. It's like crazy.

I'm, the, same, way., I, grew, up, like, in, a So, then, your, OCD, comes, from, trying, to create order and cleanliness as opposed to trying to avoid germs.

Yeah., I, don't, think, I, have., I, mean, obviously I'm kind of like at the COVID level of afraid of germs that maybe most people are, but for me, a tidiness means like un untidiness means like an um unsettled mind. And it like makes me feel crazy. And there are like little things that

like, I, don't, understand, why, you, would ever leave anything open. Like why you would leave a cabinet open, a dishwasher, a jar? That's crazy to me.

What, a, toothpaste, tube., toothpaste. That's not for me. It's not It's more I'm with you on the people who can leave a a cupboard that much open. I'm like just close it. I was just uh my friend Eli.

What, else, are, you, leaving, open?, Right. Huh? What? Cuz, if, you, leave, those, things, open,, what else are you leaving open?

Holy, [ __ ], Holy, [ __ ], [ __ ], Just, got really eyes. Anyway, Sean, you're not a First of all, Jason, the term OCD is way overused. It's not OCD. Just to be clear, it's not OCD. So, nice try. It's it's the same way that everybody uh says that uh um I don't know, and, we, we, just, use, a, lot, of these terms that are just you know a little

Sorry,, man., I'll, work, on, it. Yeah., Okay., Thanks., Let's, be, I'm, a little intense today, Jenny, because my in my my

We, interrupt, him, right, in, the, middle, of it. What were you blasting buys and uh

No,, just, doing, just, doing, a, little boxing, bro. Just All right., Right, on., Right, on., Were, you winning or

I, hope, so,, cuz, I, was, up, against, a, bag. All, right., So,, uh,, Eli,, um,

but, Eli, would, we, he, would, go, when, we were in Atlanta and I'd come to the kitchen in the morning and there'd be four glasses, some cups, and whatever stacked next to the sink and I'd go and stuff, open., I'd, go,, can, at least, forget I I get you're not going to put it in the dishwasher. Can you not put it at least in the sink? It is how much it's easier. Gravity would take your hand down even further into the sink

and, run, some, water, in, it. And, run, some, water, in, it, and, just, leave it. And he literally at one point just kind of looks at me and goes, "Yeah, I don't know."

You, got, a, deal, on, this, roommate,, huh? Yeah. Yeah., Scotty, can't, handle, when, there's actual like pieces of food in the sink too. Like

Like, if, I, just, put, a, plate, down, he, gets, to, rinse, it, out. Yeah., I, always, I, always, clean, the, food. Make sure there's no food in the sink. But I don't really put the dishes in the dishwasher. He likes to do that.

He, likes, to, do, that. Oh,, that's, nice. And, now, a, word, from, our, sponsor., And, now back to the show.

Jenny,, I, don't, know if, you're, like, this. I like things to be orderly and stuff. And at the same time, I'm not like a I'm not a germaphobe. Uh but I just like things a certain to be kind of clean and and sort and sorted.

Yeah,, I, like, that,, too., I, like, to, like display my kitchen wear like it is sort of a useful art installation. I when people like move the bowls around, I'm like, okay. But like I I know it's not okay to be unchill about that, but then when sort of the people are gone, I'll put it back.

But, I, mostly, I'm, just, like yeah,, I, I, like, to, um, I, think, it's, about respect. I really do. And I like how it feels to like close the circle. Like when I make dinner every night and like while the thing is was just saying this to a friend like I guess this is a big thing. I love a clean station and when whatever's on the stove getting, you know, having its final, you know, moment on the stove, I do all the dishes I can.

Yeah, I, love, it., It, feels, so, good, to, me. I, get, that., You, know what?, I'm, I'm, going to share with you guys a story that I haven't really told you before. Tuck in

when, which, was, I, think, I, was, kind, of messy when I was younger. I went to I went to all boys boarding school.

And, when, I, was, there,, I, was, I, was, in seventh grade. I was 12. And hang on, it gets mildly mildly interesting.

12., Okay. Okay., And, I, one, day, my, and, the, guy, who ran the house kept kept telling me, "You got to clean your room. You got to clean your room." Finally, one day I came back and I my [ __ ] was everywhere. And I came back and all my [ __ ] was gone from my room. And I go, "Where's my stuff?" And he goes, "Come with me."

And, he, had, taken, all, my, stuff, and, put, it in garbage bags and put it in the back of his car. And he and he drove me six miles away.

What?, And, I, had, four, garbage, bags, full of stuff. And I was a little 12. And I hadn't, you know, I was and these big bags of stuff and he was like, "Put them down." And he said, "Uh, hopefully now you'll learn to clean your room." And he drove away.

And, so, I, had, these, four, huge, bags, and six miles. And I thought, "How am I going to do it?" So I started doing like two bags, 50 yards, go back, get the other two bags. So they were too much too big. Are you kidding me?

No., I, swear, to, God., And, and, at, a, certain point, I thought like, I'm going to [ __ ] break. Like what's going to happen here? And I was like, you know what I got to do? And I just opened I started putting everything on and jackets and whatever. And I and I managed to get most stuff on and then just had a small bag left of stuff. Oh my gosh. And I walked like a Michelin swear. True story. And I walked back and I came and I remember crossing the first soccer field towards my house and him seeing me

way, sooner, than, he, thought, he, was, going to see me. And I was carrying the [ __ ] but I was wearing everything. And I felt like a [ __ ] king. And I was like "Fuck you. I figured it out, you dummy."

And, then, did, you, just, throw, throw, it, all over your room again? But, you, know what?, blast, lap, on, me., From then on, I was much better.

I, was, much, better, about, cleaning, myself. This, was, this, was, a, boarding, school.

Yeah., This, was, 1982. Wow. Yeah. Wow. I, remember, when, my, dad, got, blasted, drunk one night, which was very very often. He came home and

and, the, dishes, weren't, done., So,, he's really furious about that. Did, he, take, an, Uber,, do, you, think? And he took all the dirty dishes and we had lenolum tile on the floor in the kitchen floor and he put a dirty dish on every single tile so you couldn't walk on the kitchen floor.

Oh,, so, he, was, a, psycho,, too. He, was, a, little, bit, of, a, psycho., Yeah.

God, darn., We've, really, got, to, find, him for a for a very special Christmas episode of Smart List. We're That's He's going to be mine.

This, is, a, recurring, theme,, Jenny., Just so you know by, the, way., Um, and, also, sorry,, Jenny. We'll get back to you in just two seconds. Jenny, you should take that. Is that my dad?

Jenny., Jenny,, can, you, bring, the, [ __ ] bounty up to the front? We, need, more, [ __ ], bounty.

Get, the, phone., Jenny, got, on, the, phone. Jenny,, answer, it. Where, the, [ __ ], trash?, Let's, see, what it is. If it's an order for some milk or something.

Somebody, answered, it., The, machine, got it. Somebody, answered, it., I, guess, I

What, if, you, answered, the, phone?, The person said, "You get off this [ __ ] podcast right now. You shake your goddamn computer. You get off the [ __ ] podcast with your Hollywood friends." Um

yeah. So,, wait,, Jenny,, I, want, to, ask, you. You've done a million voiceovers, like and you're a regular on Big Mouth and Bob's Burgers, right?

Yeah., And, The, Great, North., It's, on, Fox. And, The, Great, North., On, Fox., I, mean, it's So, why why voices? Like, what when did you learn like you could do all of these different things with your voice?

I, honestly, feel, like, I, didn't, know, that I didn't know this could be like an actual job that you can do a lot. And um I don't know if you guys feel this way but like I think it is the most fun It's so it's like it's challenging creatively, but it's really also really easy. Not that I'm showing up in my PJs but like do you hear these do you hear these ladies behind the

It's, good., It's, good., It's, good, at, mo. We, haven't, asked, in, the, supply, Are, you in the supply room of the general store?

Yeah., Between, the, groceries, and, the books. No., Are, you, really, in, the, spike?

Is, that, true? Yeah. Oh,, wow. And, right, now, it's, uh, so, it's, 1:31 there. So you're got the lunch rush. So is is Ben slapping together a bunch of pastrami sandwiches and uh you know who's number 35?

Yeah. So, he, owns, the, store, but, he, doesn't, like work here every day. He just he and his brother so his like great grandmother used to come to this store. His family has lived in this town for a really long time. and during the pandemic he and his brother bought the store and um like did a little work on it and they put a bar in here and a bookstore and um so he's kind of like he's like the store owner and then um he comes here every day to do like little things for the store but there's a lovely woman named Maryanne who is the manager

and, she, is, letting, me, be, in, her, office. Can, you, still, do, all, your, voiceover, work given the the Wi-Fi uh limitations out there?

I, can, but, sometimes, it's, really, bad. Like I do it in the linen closet between my bedroom and my daughter's bedroom. And um I have a little baby. Yeah. She's 17 months old. And um

I, thought, of, That's, so, amazing., First, of all, I thought of the name for your autobiography if you ever want one.

Here, we, go., Here, we, go. Sure., Let's, go. Closets, because, you, have, a, lot, of closets in your life.

You, got, to, get, the, slide, float, out or, just, my, life, in, closets,, you, know.

That's, really, clever. Yeah., Thank, you. So, uh, who was who was, uh, who was the tougher transition for you from, uh living single and having all your stuff in an orderly way? Was it harder for you to get used to living with Ben or the 17-month-old?

What's, been, the, bigger, transition? Great, question., Thank, you. That's, a, really, good, question., Take, your time.

It, it, does, come, down, to, the, neat, freak thing. Um, I think it was harder

with, the, baby, because, also, like, Ben,, you know, understands what I say and so when I'm like I don't like when that's like that, he he doesn't just like be like you know, like he

he, can, understand, a, threat, when, he, hears one. Yeah. Right., That's, right., Yeah., Whereas, the baby just doesn't understand my threats yet. Um

isn't, that, amazing, how, you, cannot negotiate with something that doesn't speak your language? Like that was a big big lesson for me. Like I can't just say, "Well, you're not having, you know dessert tonight or whatever." like they don't care. You got for the first couple of years you got to just deal with it.

Yeah. So, Jason,, you, how, how, what, was, the, age that your kids finally were able to understand I'm going golfing today? Like what was the

because, for, a, while, they, just, you, know what I mean? Yeah,, that, was, they, were, 12.

Um, but, wait,, so, so, Jenny,, so, you, have, a 17-month old daughter. Yeah., and, you, guys, and, now, you're, firmly living back in Massachusetts and and Ben and his brother have opened the general store and you're there and you've kind of, you're, you're you're, are, you, done with the West Coast? Are you done with LA? Are you done with New York? Are you just like I'm going to this is where for now in your mind? Are you like this is my life now living here?

I, like, it, here, more., But, we, we, still have my house in LA um on the east.

Must, be, nice,, huh?, You, know, on, the, east, side, is, that, what, you, said?

Here's, the, thing., On, the, east, side., On the east side in Silver. By, the, way,, that, that's, a, Massachusetts thing to say, by the way, which is like oh, must be nice, you know.

Must, be, nice. Yeah,, must, be, nice., Got, a, house. What, does, Ben, think, about, What, What, does Ben think about Los Angeles.

He, likes, it, a, lot., He, I, mean,, we, had, two years there before the baby was born and he was like, "Whoa, I can't believe you just pick an like an orange off the tree and you go for hikes and it's like very chill." I I mean, we don't have like a I don't know, like a super um flashy lifestyle. So, I think he was like "This is vacation-y like this is pretty vacationier." Which it is. And um and my best friends live all around us and everything. But I will say about our house in LA, like I it's a beautiful small old house. I bought it when I was single and I was like a heavy stoner and like the refrigerator is not even in the kitchen. It's in like a tiny room off the kitchen. And at the time I was like I was single and I was like it's like under the Tuscan sun like I'm just gonna buy an old house and just live in here and have all my shirts and like this will be very romantic for me. And then

he came and you know what I mean? Like just like oh my blouses like it's just me and my blouses and I just don't give a hoot anymore about anything. I'm just living in my old home. And then Ben came to live with me and I was like oh my god it's so messy in here all like with two people even. It's crazy. And Ben's like "Where are all these shirts from?"

Like,, "What?, You, never, told, me, that, you had so many black? We, need, to, open, a, general, store.", Yeah.

Right., Totally., Just, drove, him, to, that. So anyway, so I was like "Oh, I love this this house." Then he came and I was like, "Ooh,, there's, kind, of a, lot, of stuff in here now with two people." And but I I felt like it was fine. And then now with the baby and also we got a dog during the pandemic, like a beautiful large border collie mix. That house is like

it's, just, really, hard., It's, way, too small and the stairs are really loud. And

you, okay,, Will? Yeah,, I'm, fine. Take, a, minute,, man., Sorry., I, don't, throw open your mouth. Clean the microphone a little bit, I guess.

Sorry. Like, my, favorite, favorite., Truly, will never have a better joke than burping. Sorry about that. Sorry about that, you guys. Welcome to Barill Sports. So, uh, uh, but but you, but you guys have decided we're going to what what is your child's name?

Her, name, is, Ida., Ida. So,, you, you, guys, said,, "Let's, we're going to raise Ida in Massachusetts." Not, not out here in LA. Let's Yeah. Good. Good. Good choice. Tell me what's happened.

Like,, where, do, you, want, to, live?, And, she said, "I don't know." Or, Idaho.

Oh,, got, it. Thanks. Um,, what, happened, to, your, weed, your, weed addiction? What did you did you crack that while you were pregnant? You got rid of all that or or are we back into

No,, no,, no., She, doubled, down, when, she was pregnant. Where the [ __ ] do you think?

Yeah,, I, went, straight, to I, like, to, go, wide, with, that., I, like, to go wide with that on a podcast about how I double down. You [ __ ]

n, months, till, the, baby's, here., I, got, to just do all the drugs. Um, no. I

Is, it, legal, in, in, Massachusetts, like, it is out here in California? I, think, it, is., I, think, it, is, now., I, uh, I think it is. I actually I had like a bad moment of um like I don't know if it's possible but I kind of think I overdosed myself on weed or like when I it was not with a joint or anything like I I used to smoke a lot of weed and I could smoke as much as

possible, I, guess, it, seemed, like, but I, I, took, a, a, CBD, gummy, Yeah., that, my friend was like, "Oh, you need to activate it with the THC dropper." And she was like "But you" And it was like cuz I had like a back issue. I don't think CBD is really real, but that might be controversial. Either way, she was like, "If you want it to work, you have to use the um yeah, the THC dropper." And she was like "But you smoke so much weed that

you, know,, it, says, between, one, and, three droppers. You should probably take three droppers." So, I was like "Cool. I'll take three droppers."

And, then you, had, to, call, your, mom., I, took, the three droppers and, I, just, I, mean, it, was, like, I, think, it was like the worst experience of my life during which I tried to watch the movie and couldn't figure out what language it was in and was just like what is this movie so good

oh, man, yeah, I'm, trying, to, work, it, into standup now but it's still like a little scary that this happened you know it's like it's not exactly funny yet cuz I actually think I did almost die and I I threw up like outside of my bathroom cuz I like couldn't figure out how to get over the threshold like just crazy [ __ ] went to bed with all my clothes on, my boots, like some like like little zipper up booties, like got in the bed that way, text, I'm like, I need to call for help. Need to call for help. And then was like, it's too late, Jenny.

It's, too, late., And, then, I, looked,, it, was 6:45 p.m. And I was like um was just it was so bad. And it was it was truly like, oh my god, I I really was like watching a being like, when did this movie get so [ __ ] scary? And what language is this? What is this? Like I don't know. Oh, I used to love this and her hairstyle was so great and everything just looked crazy. Um, but anyway, so then the next day my friend

you, know,, it, was, Jane, Levy., Do, you, know her? You must know. Yeah. So, she she gave me the the THC thing. Anyway, so um she was she called me and she was like "I got all your texts about the patriarchy." And I was like and she was like, I Jenny, I'm I'm so sorry. It wasn't one one not one to three droppers. It was It was I misspoke. It was one to three drops.

And, so, I, took like 120 times the dose. Yeah., And, I, like, ruined, my, mind., And then and I was like, I guess I'm off weed. And like couple months later, I thought I'll just take a little hit and and try and get back in. And it was like it went right back to where I had been that evening. So I'm just done forever. Yeah. I'm not going to try it.

My, god., So, So, she, saved, you., She, saved you. Yeah., In, a, way, she, saved, me., Yeah.

Wow., That's, so, crazy. And we will be right back. And now back to the show. Jenny, speaking of like getting freaked out and stuff, you know your Netflix special called Stage Fright, you know, which so [ __ ] great. I loved it so much. You talk and I love the way it was shot, by the way. It's so cool. But anyway, you talk about like fear and how you hate it and you love it and motivates you and how people say just be yourself and you were like that's the worst advice because there's a million people in my head and you choose right Dick?

So,, how, do, you, how, do, you, talk, about like the love and the hate of performing live? Like what is it you what what freaks you out about it? I like it so much, but it it's it must be like what like uh adrenaline junkies are like, I guess. I mean, I don't know. Or but not the guy that does the free solo. I actually think that I sound like an old woman, but that really makes me angry that he does that.

There's, another, one., There's, another, one that makes him look like um there's, the, one, that, he, talks, about, the other guy, the Canadian kid.

Wait,, what? Yeah., Isn't, it, called, the, Alvinist? Yeah., And, that, one's, really, sad.

The, Alenist. Oh man. Oh man. What a documentary. Yeah. Most, of, them, don't, end, with, like, don't don't have amazing endings. You know what I mean?

No., They're, not, like, a, lot, of, times, back in the parking lot at the end.

No., Oh,, you, mean, you, mean, the, guy, who climbs, the, the the, ice, waterfall, at night by himself with no ropes? Does it end well?

Oh,, the, guy, with, the, bears., The, guy, who did all those cute movies of the bears. Um,

that, one, I, still, need, to, see. Oh,, yeah., Yeah,, yeah,, yeah., Also,, I, got busted on not seeing the Revenant um the other night by at dinner with my parents and my husband cuz I said that a Snuggie was like that guy in the Revenant who wears the bear suit and everyone

Leo, DiCaprio. Yeah., Like, truly, everything., Everyone, is like what are you talking about? You're talking about Leonardo DiCaprio like the a, you know, Oscar winner, the the actor, the guy you that he's not the guy. He's Leonardo DiCaprio and he doesn't wear a bear suit like I guess he gets attacked. I I didn't get too afraid.

It's, stunning., You, should, just, see, that once or just just watch the YouTube special on how they shot that scene.

Yeah,, it's, it's, that, seems, like, at, a, at a safe distance. Oh, my, god. There's, also, a, video, a, YouTube, video about the guys getting prepared to shoot the YouTube video for the which is amazing. It's mainly

that, seems, like, a, safe. It's, mainly, just, in, the, parking, lot, and putting on putting on Patagonia and [ __ ] but it's good.

Yeah., No,, I, I, need, I, need, to, be, pretty far a field, I think, of the central experience. I don't I don't really want to Yeah.

Wait,, go, back, to, the, fear, thing. Oh,, well,, I, Yeah,, I, think, the, fear, is that people don't like that they won't like me and that they won't think of like Yeah. that I'll be wearing a Patagonia jacket and I'll be like

They're, great, jackets., They're, great jackets, especially if you're Well they're expensive, but if you're a size large, they're great.

They're, great., Sorry,, I, just, had, to, put that out there. They're, telling, just, what, you, need, to tell. Yeah.

So,, what, So,, that, fear, of, when, you're, up there on stage and they're not going to like you, if you play that out in your head, is it like that? Oh my god, I have no place to go. I can't I can't hide

right?, Because, you, still, do, it. Yeah., I, mean,, I, It, feels, like, a, social thing. I like it that I'm going to have to be up here and they're all going to see me like

just, like, choking, and, and, floundering and being out of control and um all the things that if I succeed at they'll see me as a master of like you know the moment and like chaos and power or whatever. Not that I see it that but I think that would be the other side of it. Not that I think I'm like the master of chaos and I want to

I, would, imagine, that, you'd, have, to, find a place of like the the perfect combination between sort of an adversarial relationship with the audience, right? So that you you feel sort of puffed up and and strong like a a worthy adversary and you can defend yourself, but then also kind of be a teammate with the audience, too. You want to try to find that connection with them. I bet that's a really that's a real challenging place for stand-ups. I I I I don't think I I'd ever have the spine to do it.

But, it's, like, a, date. Terrifying. I, think, of, it, like, a, date., Like, you're like the person could

I, actually, think, you, don't, have, the balls to do it. Spine or, spine., No, skeletal, structure whatsoever.

Sack., I, don't, think, you, have, the, sack., I don't think you have any of the the undercarriage to do it.

Sorry. I, don't, have, that, undercarriage, either. And I I How, often, are, you, still, getting, up, there and doing standup? Well, in LA I was going so I usually go up at Largo and um I was trying to go like twice a week while I was there because I want to make a new special and that's harder obviously like when I want to put the baby to bed and um you know and I like it when Ben sees my sets because

especially, after, having, the, baby, it's like oh I guess I'm just this person who like complains about like almost everything all the time. I really want him to see me as someone who other people think is like literally in the cheapest way like popular. Like I would like him to, you know, like everything's fine, but I'm just like that's such a good for I think it's such a good look. Um, you know, up there on stage if if they're liking you, it's like, oh right. I forgot that um that there's this powerful person and um it it is nice, but it's also really scary. And um but I have to do it.

Do, you, make, him, the, butt, of, any, jokes? um either intentionally or unintentionally. Like when you're sharing your stuff about about home and the kid and and and adjusting to that that the new life in your house, like did you do you back into sort of throwing him under the bus at all? I used to do that on talk shows with my wife and then she she straightened me out.

Did, you, ask, permission, or, would, you, just like I, didn't, and, then, I, got, my, snout smacked. Uh and then I started asking for permission and then she started saying no and then I started looking for different material.

Sure., Sure., Sure., Yeah,, Jenny,, I, want, to talk about I want to leave you with Marcel the Shell because it's so good. I watched the movie last night. It's so good. Here's what I need to say. I've been a fan of Marcel the Shell with She's on forever. I know it's been like over 10 years or something like that right?

Yeah. And, um, I, used, to, watch, his, videos, all the time. And what I love about it is if you haven't seen it, all you need to know about it is in the title. It's literally Marcel a shell and he has shoes on and you literally play a shell named Marcel and he how the voice

like, how, the, voice, why, the, voice, are, you sick of the voice tell us all things about Marcel because how did you think of him and are you kind of like done or more more because I can't get enough of him.

Oh, thanks, thanks, thanks, for, seeing like, sidebar, really, quick., I, loved, when Marcel played taps from his horn, which was a piece of hollow spiral macaroni.

And, he, sleeps, in, his, bread, room,, which is a bedroom made of out of bread, which is fantastic.

Bless, him. And, when, he, play, taps,, he, plays, taps. That is um that's like my favorite part of the that like sort of it's a sad part. It's a sort of like a eulogy part and it's so funny and it's also terribly sad.

It's, macaroni, and Yeah., It's, like, a, chauffear., In, my culture, we call that a chauffear. Yeah for sure. Very a lot of secret Judaism put in there. Um, I'm not sick of the voice. I love doing it. It's like it feels like a, you know, like I don't know, like a soothing thing. I do it by myself a lot. I like it. Um it came up one weekend when I was like in a hotel room with sharing hotel room with like five friends and everyone was like broke and we were all sharing a hotel room and um like every thing you could sleep on was being used like the cot and the two beds and like someone on the floor whatever and they were just like all men and I felt like tiny and that it was like so messy and cramped in there and I started to talk to like sort of ribb people in that voice and And and then um my partner at the time had like promised that he was going to make a video for a little show in Williamsburg and he

hadn't done anything yet and he was like could I interview that voice and like maybe there'll be a character and I'll um you know we'll make something with it. So he interviewed me in that voice and then he made Marcel's body and then we just like made that video.

So, cool., So, is, he, still, a, part, of, all the stuff going forward? Yeah, Dean Fleer Camp. He's um he's the director and um we co-wrote it together with our friend Nick Paley and Yeah. Yeah. He's uh he did everything.

I, love, um, when, there's, a, million oneliners, but you know what Marcel uses for skis are men's toenails.

Yeah., Toenails, from, a, man. Toenail, clippings., Not, Not, the, actual toenail. Full toail. Yeah. Yeah. Just the clippings. Um, did I see a trailer for it that's coming out?

Yes. Yeah,, it's, coming, out, June, 24th, through 8:24. What?, And, you, filmed, it, like, over, a, year ago right?

It, took, seven, years, to, make, and Wow., Jesus. Yeah,, we, finished, it., I, want, to, say, in the winter.

Why, did, it, take, seven, years? Well,, cuz, it's, stop, motion, and, we weren't, you know, we were like fully funded by Creach. It's like a It's uh not a studio. It's like basically like getting arts grants basically and um which also gave us total

freedom. Yeah., Which, is, really, great., And, um, it took a long time. The the film was improvised off of a long treatment. So we would like record like improvise and then um Dean and Nick would go back and cull through all the audio and start to make a script off of that and then like write things that we should say and go back into more improvising. And that that process itself took about a couple years. And then you would do the stop motion.

Yeah., Then, I, think, I, think, the, the, order was we locked like the audio play like everything that Marcel and uh his grandmother is the only other character besides Dean um played grandmother played by Isabella Roselini who is incredible.

And, um, Wow. She, has, a, beautiful, voice., Yeah., And, uh so we did and she let us go to her farm to improvise like when there's farm.

It's, in, New, York., Um Yeah. City. Yeah., It's, in, this, city., It's, so, weird. It's on 56th Street. It was so high.

Yeah., So, strange. It's, just, a, farm., And, then, what, do, they They just raise improvisers. What's That's amazing.

Yeah., It's, called, Yes., And, Farm. Oh, my, god., Amazing. I, just, love, that., I, love, that, about, her. Um anyway. Yeah. So we we recorded it all and then they filmed the live action because like Marcel is, you know, like he's in a physical house and obviously Dean is a real person that you sometimes see like his hand or um him walking away. They filmed all the live action that the the whole movie is worth and then they filmed the stop motion animation on that.

It's, so, good., I, love, it., I, loved, it, so much. It's Please go see it if you haven't seen it.

June, 24th. June, 24th. June, 24th. It's, my, sister's, birthday. Is, that, right?, Happy, birthday.
