Annie Lederman Is Brutally Honest and Hilarious | You Made It Weird

You made it weird, you made it weird, yes you did, you made it weird, yeah.
You made it weird, you made it weird, you made it weird, yes you did, you made
it weird, yeah.
What's happening weirdos? This is Annie Letterman, who is such a funny, funny
person and a wonderful and hilarious stand-up comedian.
She has her own podcast, which is called The Annie Wood Podcast. Check that out
for sure.
She's also on the touring. You've got to go to annieletterman.com and check
that out.
She's also in Grand Theft Auto V, which I think is incredibly cool.
But most importantly, she's just a very dynamic and hilarious talent that I'm
so excited has joined us on the show today.
And I'm so glad you guys are here. Not much to plug up top. Go to PeteHolmes.com
for my tour dates.
May 24th at Largo, I'm happy to say sold out. Thank you everybody for that.
That's so exciting.
The next date on the calendar is Nashville. I'm so excited. That's May 30th
through June 1st for Nashville.
Followed by Irvine, California, San Jose, California, Houston, Texas, Royal Oak,
Michigan, Washington, D.C., Boston, Massachusetts,
Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I could say Portsmouth, but not New Hampshire. That's
weird.
Tocan, Washington, St. Louis, Missouri, Cleveland, Homestead, Pennsylvania, and
Atlantic City, New Jersey.
And as I've been saying every single week, New York City will be around there
as well.
And that will all be on PeteHolmes.com. Tickets to all of those.
I'm saying with no hyperbole, this is my favorite hour, I think, that I've ever
written.
It's called the Pete Here Now Tour.
I really, really hope you can be there and that you enjoy it if you do make it
out.
And in the meantime, enjoy this wonderful chat with the incomparable Annie
Letterman.
Get into it.
The way that...
Oh my God.
I don't know what I did.
Are you fucking kidding me?
What I did?
You were on the whole podcast.
I did.
I think your magic mind is like under the...
Mine's empty.
Oh, you already drank it.
I already drank it.
I don't know, I have a sleeping thing too.
They make sleep ones?
Yeah, they have sleepy ones, which is annoying because I want this one.
They don't make sleep ones.
No, they have sleep ones.
They're purple.
Magic mind.
Yeah.
Made sleep ones?
Oh, see, you got the money from them, but I got the intel.
I'm only dear friends with the CEO.
Oh, is that true?
Yeah.
So I'm surprised.
He just emailed me yesterday that they're making like new...
This sounds like an ad.
Really?
Is it melatonin though?
I don't know what it is.
I just take...
I don't read.
Reading's not my thing.
And I'm also like 41 where I'm like, I'm sort of getting to that point where I
have to
be like, blink when I look at things.
It's when it happens.
Nightmare.
I went to the eye doctor when I was around your age.
I'm 45.
I went to the doctor.
Teach me your wisdom, Elder.
Well, honestly...
You are older than me in comedy though, so I think I associate you with being
older.
I'm not going to do that.
I'm not going to give you any advice whatsoever.
You're like, no, I didn't ask for advice, but I did.
You said wisdom.
Wisdom has an advice flavor.
Well, it was me like...
Don't act like I made up advice.
I was rolling over.
Like, oh, oh, advice.
I was kidding, but I was rolling.
That was me rolling over.
I'm going, pet my belly.
I see.
Well, actually, I'll get back to eyesight.
I was listening to...
You have a half hour thing on YouTube.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know if that's like a favorite of yours, but I was like so blown away.
I really think you're incredibly talented.
Oh, I love this.
Did you do...
I told Katie, I was like, I'm going to kiss her butt a little.
And I was like, I want you to know it's completely real.
Oh, I seek your approval.
This is amazing.
All I want is to...
You have it right off the bat.
Well, did you...
Sometimes I forget.
I'll do the whole podcast.
I'm like, I didn't say a nice thing to them.
So we're going to get it out of the way right away.
I know, because I'm trying to learn to be a better interviewer, because I'm
such an ADD
interrupter.
Yeah, me too.
And I think I get a weird side of people that maybe other people don't get, at
least.
Yeah, because you pinball them into a strange place.
Yeah, I'm like, I don't know why we're talking about this.
Yeah.
But did you like my response when you asked me to do the podcast?
Do you remember what it was?
I think you said you've been waiting for me to ask.
Yeah, he goes, he goes, we'll do my podcast.
I went, I've been waiting 15 years for this.
Yes.
I did like that.
Well, I will say, and maybe this is a good place to start.
You're so cool.
What I mean by that, to be more specific in my language, is there's an effortless
and calm
quality to you.
I don't know what that means.
Your language, I don't speak.
Those words, you don't know the word effortless?
Oh, effortless.
Oh, my God.
I thought you said something different.
I'm smart yet.
Here's it.
I'm smart yet uneducated.
Smart yet uneducated.
You're welcome.
You're so welcome.
I love that.
Bumping mic.
Sorry, we're coming for you, David Tell and Jeff Ross.
Do they do it?
They do bumping mics where they go backstage together.
And then when they do a good one, they bump.
Oh, I didn't know that.
That's funny.
Okay.
I don't want to be Jeff.
I want to be a tell though, but I think you want to be a tell too, probably.
Yeah, I'll be a tell.
Between those two?
We're two a tells.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Between those two.
It's a tell and a tell.
A tell looks like Dave, Jeff Ross got his shit together.
Yeah, but that's crazy to say.
You're looking, I know.
But Jeff Ross totally has a shit together way more than a tell.
I know.
Look, New York City, New York City, you shouldn't be traveling in tunnels.
I'm old.
When I was in my 20s, I loved New York.
But when I see my friends that live in New York, there's a quality to their
skin and the
depth of their eyes that I'm like, you travel by tunnel, don't you?
I can't even imagine going into a subway.
Well, they started pushing people in the subway, Speed.
What do you mean?
They're put, they'd just be random.
And I always thought that when I'd be on the subway, I'm like, why is no one
pushing me
in front of the train?
Wait, they're House of Cardsing people?
People are House of Cardsing.
Do you get the reference?
By the way, Kevin Spacey, I'm on your side.
Just kidding.
Kevin, I'm here for you.
Zoe Barnes, I'm on your side.
Which one's Zoe Barnes?
Zoe Barnes is who he, spoiler.
Oh, who he killed.
It's a spoiler.
But if you haven't seen House of Cards, that ship has sailed.
Yeah, guys, it's over.
It's over.
That train has run the bitch over.
Yeah, yeah.
The train has left the station and Zoe Barnes is under its carriage.
She's crunched.
Let's get back to the compliment.
But there is an effortless, so effortless, I want to, I want to enunciate.
Slow it down.
Effortless.
So when I say cool, I really mean there's a calm, effortless talent about you
that I have
to imagine when I asked you to do the podcast, for example, that's what I'm
picking up on.
And I wonder if people are like, are people kind of like...
I'm prickly.
I don't mean to be.
No, no, not that you're prickly.
But do they treat you like, I mean, I could see, like I asked you in a way that
was in,
you know, in line with my belief that you're cool.
So I'm like, other people are just like, hey, do my podcast.
Do people treat you with white gloves on?
I don't know.
Are they afraid of you?
Maybe.
A little?
Yeah.
Which I guess I'm fine with.
Because then they meet me and then it's, it's not that.
So then you can, you can make people's expectations.
Yeah, absolutely.
If you're a little nice.
You don't want them to be like, you're so nice.
And then they meet you like, that girl's a fucking...
Yeah, totally.
Absolutely, Mo.
So anyway...
I learned that from the Ellen dance.
You don't want to dance.
Oh, the Ellen dance.
Just don't dance.
If you don't dance...
Do you know the story of when she didn't dance?
No.
She told her producers, I'm not dancing.
And it was the first...
She had danced 700 shows in a row.
She's like, I'm not dancing.
And she didn't.
Oh my God.
And the crowd went nuts.
They lost their minds.
And you know what she did?
What?
Play that beat.
She danced.
She said, let's dance.
Well, of course, you can't.
It was going to be like...
Well, she made her brand dancing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't...
You can't unbrand.
I've said it many times.
Pick your persona wisely.
And that one looks exhausting.
Yeah.
No wonder you're being a bit prickly offstage.
You had to dance.
You were acting like an Easter colored Skittle all day.
Think about her day.
Think about her morning, right?
Like you come in...
Because you had a talk show.
It's a lot of work.
Yes, it is.
And I barely did...
Meaning my...
If you took my number of episodes that I did away from Ellen,
she wouldn't have noticed.
You know what I mean?
These people are doing thousands.
Yeah, it's like...
It's crazy.
It's a lot of work.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you are the star of the show.
So everyone is looking to you for all the answers and stuff.
I can beat you.
I had a talk show for four episodes.
Four eps.
I don't want to brag, guys.
It was on the E! Network with Julian McCullough.
Wait, he was the host?
We were co-hosts.
Co-hosts?
Oh, you assumed the man would be the host and the girl would be the whole?
Well, you said...
The whole.
The whole?
That's what they call it in, like, radio.
The host and the whole?
They call the girl the whole on radio.
Isn't that funny?
Is that a reference to the vagine?
Yeah.
No.
They're like, oh, the whole.
They're casting, like, we need a whole?
Yeah, we need...
The whole.
I don't endorse that.
I'm yes-anding it because it's my nature, but I'm not...
No, no, no.
Again, you can exceed expectations if they think you're just a whole.
I hate every time you say it.
I like to be called a pit.
I like to be called a pit.
A pit.
An endless pit.
An endless...
A trench.
A trench.
Oh, my God.
I'm a trench.
I hate all of this, but I'm bound by my role as host.
I must, yes, and.
So I will say you want to be a trench.
A trench.
So you...
No, I did.
I was sexist.
Once you said Julian, I was like, well, was he the host?
Who has...
What talk show has two hosts?
I guess I'm confused.
Well, the one that only gets four episodes.
Yeah, that's right.
So we blame McCullough?
No, I blame...
Two camera.
I blame the...
We blame you, Julian.
Julian, it was you.
He's so funny.
No, I know.
I saw him in Vegas recently.
I haven't...
Yeah, I haven't seen...
We're not in the same...
I very rarely see him.
I mean...
I saw him in Vegas actually twice.
That's so funny.
I've seen him...
What is he?
I haven't seen him in eight years, and both times...
We're in Vegas?
We're in Vegas.
One was at Skank Fest when Doug Stanhope was fighting Yamanika Sanders.
My face also goes like...
Don't say Skank Fest.
I know it's what it's called.
You actually don't understand how good Skank Fest is.
I believe it.
We should call it Hole Fest.
Hole Fest.
Yeah, yeah.
No, the hole discount.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm sure there's some sort of holes getting free at Skank Fest.
I feel like at Skank Fest...
I hate every part of this.
The fans at Skank Fest, the female fans at Skank Fest would be pierced holes, I'm
guessing.
Pierced holes for sure.
A lot of clit rings, I'm assuming.
To help you find it.
Yes.
Look for the knocker.
You have three knockers.
You have to help these people.
They don't know.
But then there's a piercing through it.
I have to imagine...
I can't...
If there's already a piece of metal through it, what's a little...
What are you going to do to it?
But then I feel like...
Okay, so the holes.
The groups I ran with in high school, I had my nipples pierced.
I was into piercings, but the girl that had the vag piercing...
Yeah, hardcore.
Always would end up showing her vagina at a party.
And I just never wanted to be show your vagina girl.
Boob girl shows her boobs too.
I remember in high school...
Oh, I showed my boobs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
