incredibly special guest here with us today for the first time.
She is a very funny stand-up comedian, actor, and podcaster.
You've seen her in Horace and Pete, The King of Staten Island.
Wow.

She has two Comedy Central half hours.
You've seen her on At Midnight.

Funny as hell.
What's your fucking deal?
Comedy knockout.
Goddamn.
The Degenerates on Netflix.
Ooh.
Lights Out with David Spade, your mom's house.
She was one of 2017 Variety's top 10 comics to watch.
She has an amazing podcast called That's Messed Up, an SVU podcast, and a
fantastic album called Liturgies.
But the big question about his mind today, is she garbage?
She broke the coat hanger when she came in.
That was well-constructed by me.
Give it up for Lisa Traeger, everybody.
Yeah.
I choked on Glitter Cheese.
God damn it.
I can't believe it.
Really?
You typically choke on cheese.
What?
I like the hard stuff myself.
I'm a mozzarella man.
That was really nice to hear.
Thank you.
Sometimes, you know, you're like, what?
I felt you're watching me.
I felt pressure.
I'm sorry I messed up Glitter Cheese.
I just couldn't believe I've done all that.
I'm excited.
Even when you said actor, I'm like, okay.
She gave you the face, and I'm like, oh, maybe some of these aren't right.
Like, he was looking at you.
You said a couple of times.
He's like, what?
I'm like, I don't know.
125 episodes of ER.
You were on E-Haw?
Holy shit.
That's so cool.
What do you mean?
You're a big deal.
What are you talking about?
I remember we got to the city.
Yeah.
I know how we met.
I remember we met at the Greek restaurant.
No?
You and I?
Didn't you work at the Greek restaurant?
I worked at a Greek restaurant.
I had a meeting there with someone fancy, and I think she was a regular, and
you were our
server.
Wow.
Yeah, oh my God.
I do remember that.
Yeah.
That's right.
It was you, Dan Soder, and Dan St. Germain all had meetings with that same
person scattered
right now.
You weren't together.
No.
I remember I met Dan St. Germain.
It was you, Earthquake, Seinfeld, Hamburger.
I don't know if you'd want to, yeah, I met Dan St. Germain, and he was like
eating a loaf
of bread, and he had crumbs in his hair, and I was like, I don't want to talk
to him.
No, you guys all had taken meetings there.
That was an odd spot, because it was right around the corner from Comedy
Central.
I completely forgot about that.
Oh, then how do you think we know each other?
No, I'm saying when we got to the city, you were like a huge deal.
Oh, cool.
You're moving and shaking.
That's all.
Yeah.
Just giving you a compliment.
I know.
It's cool.
It makes you feel happier.
I like how you were giving her a compliment.
She's like, weren't you my waiter one time?
You were like, we moved up here.
We saw Lisa Traeger, a one-woman show.
More bread, please.
You never brought me that side of a ranch, did you?
It's a good spot.
It was, yeah.
I love that lady, too, that you were there with.
Yeah, she has a blood hat, like the dogs with the big ears that flop, and I
like that.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Very, very cool, very cool person in the industry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Was running Comedy Central a little while, not doing big things.
Loved her.
She was always sweet to me.
She's not watching.
I loved you, yeah.
I always gave her 10% off.
Call me, we'll do lunch.
I know a good spot.
Yes, thank you.
Buddy, thank you for coming in and sitting with us.
What is the origin story of Lisa Traeger?
So, I was born in the former Soviet Union.
Nice.
On the Black Sea.
Who says it like that, either?
I think you're waiting for a comeback.
No.
Keep an eye on this kid.
I don't like the sound of that.
I'll tell you why.
Because I'm Russian, but it's present-day Ukraine.
And so, sometimes if you say, like, I'm from Russia, and then someone's like,
no, that's
actually in Ukraine, and then you have to be like, I know, but I'm not
Ukrainian.
And then, so, I just, I think it's easier to say former Soviet Union.
Okay, so your family wasn't from the Ukraine.
We are, but we're Russian.
You know, like, no one got along.
We came on religious asylum.
Okay.
We're like Russian Jews.
So, I don't know.
It's kind of complicated.
You came here?
I had no idea about that.
Yeah.
You came here?
I came to Chicago.
Wait, so you moved when it was the Soviet Union?
Yes.
We came in 90, and I think the Soviet Union broke apart in, like, 92, 93.
Fucking old school.
I like that.
Yes.
Wow.
So, then we came here, you know, we were poor.
I'm even more intimidated over here.
Why?
That's crazy.
Wait, why were you guys living in the Ukraine if you weren't Ukrainian?
Because it was the Soviet Union.
It wasn't Ukraine at the time.
It was Russia.
It was just one thing.
But it was modern-day Ukraine, as you would say.
It's modern-day, yeah.
Were your parents from that area, or did they move down there from regular
Russia?
No, I think they're from around there, yeah.
Regular Russia.
Oh, man.
You're three different kinds of dumb.
But I don't know it.
And sometimes people who, like, love Russia will try to be like, have you read
this, or do
you know that?
I'm like, I don't need to prove anything to you.
Sure.
I don't know these things.
No.
I don't have to have a Russian nesting doll tattoo.
But people want to compete.
I'm going to get one.
That's pretty wild.
Yeah, so I have old parents.
They were born in 1938 and 1945.
Whoa.
Your parents were born in 1938?
My dad.
How old were they when they had you?
My mom was 42.
700?
I can't do math.
But it's up there.
Did they give you Confederate money at your botnitz pit?
That's crazy.
I didn't even get botnitz.
I got botnitz pit at birth, right?
I refused to go to school.
No, my mom was 42 and my dad was 50 when I was born.
Nice.
Wow.
But they didn't get married.
I'd like to hear that because I haven't had kids yet and I'd like to.
No, you're a dude.
You can have kids whenever you want.
You can have children whenever you want.
Okay.
Live your dreams.
Don't rush into anything.
Okay.
Sorry.
Yeah, but then I'm going to be sneaking out of the Soviet Union in the middle
of the night
with two little kids.
He had 85 years old.
In modern day Ukraine.
Yeah, trying to shake Putin.
What are you talking about?
Got to be spry.
Wait.
Yeah, so that's them.
Oh, but my dad.
Okay, so it was actually a wild week.
So my parents got married.
Wild week.
So in 1987, my parents got married August 22nd and then August 28th, my grandma
died and I
was born August 31st.
Okay.
That's like insane to me.
So my mom was like super pregnant when they got married and they had a kid.
And they left the...
They left Russia together?
Yeah, we left together.
How old were you when you left?
I was like two years old when I got here when I was three.
So this isn't in the same week?
Because that would have been a lot of week.
That wasn't.
No, it was like within the last year or two.
But my sister...
Pregnant, married, you're born, grandma dies.
I know.
And my dad just like so closed off and I want to just be like, how'd you feel
that week?
Oh, he's not.
I'm assuming he's not the kind of guy to be like, well, let me tell you.
Oh, yeah.
Those guys are ice.
That generation's ice.
Especially those fucking Russians, man.
They're fucking...
When they had to do that, he probably got here and was like, I don't want to
hear a word
out of Annie's.
Yeah, he just is really...
So you really got to eat the bread.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Yeah, so I do a bit about this now, not to do bits, but my dad was going into
heart surgery
this summer.
She's all over the place.
And I told him I loved him before he went into surgery, would not say it back
to me.
Really?
He smiled.
I could tell he liked it, but he just wouldn't.
I could tell he liked it.
What does he do for a living?
Or did he do for a living?
He was a school bus driver.
Wow.
And he was really popular.
That's old world shit.
He was super popular.
Like, the day before Christmas break, so many gifts.
Garbage bags full of gifts.
What did he do in Russia?
He was like a PE teacher coach.
He boxed.
He took photographs.
He was kind of like a hot slut who like-
A hot slut?
I've never heard anybody describe their dad as a hot slut.
He was like-
Huge dick.
Guy's got a hammer on him.
Can fuck for days.
Something you can swing from.
You're nuts.
Yeah, my mom chased my dad for decades, I would say.
Really?
Yeah.
And then they had my sister, and then he still for 10 years-
