AYG Comedy Podcast: Corinne Fisher - Classy but Trashy

Hey everybody out there and welcome back to everybody's favorite new podcast.
This is RU Garbage. I am your host H Foley coming at you from beautiful Astoria,
Queens on this beautiful sunny day. My co-host, however, is coming from an undisclosed
location somewhere in southern New Jersey. This guy's on the run from the
Corona. Kevin James Ryan, everybody.
Hey, what's up, guys? Thanks for tuning in. Happy to be here. Survived another
day down here in the bunker, you know. Thanks for tuning in, everybody.
Obviously, real quick, please rate, review, subscribe, share with a friend, all
that good shit. Take care of it. Help us out. We appreciate all the support so
far. Yeah, happy to be here.
Very nice. And we have an extremely special guest today. If it wasn't for the
COVID, I don't think we would have got her. I'll tell you that right now.
She is not just a prominent stand-up comedian. She is also a best-selling
author and really a fucking trailblazer in the podcasting world.
She's totally slumming it right now with me and Kevin because she could
probably buy us and sell us, like, two cans of fucking beans. Ladies and
gentlemen, Corinne Fisher, everybody.
What an intro.
That's how we do it, man.
I was like, um, we're all friends, so I would have done it anyway.
Fish, you're killing it, buddy. We're so happy to have you here. We appreciate
you doing the podcast.
Of course. You know, good to have human contact, though. So I'm glad we saved
it for this.
So it could be that much more intimate and special.
Yes.
How are you holding up over there with the lockdown and all that?
See, this question makes me so uncomfortable because I'm literally having the
time of my life.
All right, that's good. Dude, I am on the borderline of that. I've been
preparing for this for the last fucking two years.
The only time I've been leaving the house is to go do stand-up and then come
back and lay around, and now everybody else is doing that.
So the anxiety of not doing stuff is completely gone.
Exactly. And that's the thing. Like, I always, like, I just am always, like,
going and so stressed out all the time.
You know me. You're always hosting at New York Comic Club, and I'm running in
with, like, a chicken with my head cut off.
And, like, that's how I've been living my life since I was in, like, the
seventh grade.
So it's very nice to have this, like, forced quarantine where I can just relax
and, like, only get two things from my to-do list done every day and, like,
spend time with my dog in my apartment that I worked for because, like, I hadn't
seen it.
So, yeah. And also, like, I'm just very influenced, like, emotionally by other
people's energy.
So I realized during this already, you know, it's only been, like, two weeks,
how, like, how much of a negative impact other people's energy has on me.
Like, it's so bad. It's so bad. I feel so fucking energized.
That's great.
I can't stop smiling.
Like, and anytime I have an interaction with other people, even, like, a small
one, which I know most people are, like, yearning for during this time, it's
always bad.
Like, yesterday, I was fucking walking my dog, and a jogger tailgated me, and I'm
like, the city is empty, you dumb fuck.
Like, I lost my mind.
Yeah, that's terrible.
We're down, I'm down in South Jersey at my family's short, like, beach house.
Oh, like, near, like, Marlboro? Like, what area?
No, even further south. I'm all the way down. I'm in Wildwood, New Jersey.
Oh, Wildwood. Oh, I don't know. That's awesome. I used to spend many weeks in
Wildwood as a shot.
Yeah, so we, we, we came down, me and my, me and my wife came down for the
weekend, and then New York City shut down.
So we're like, I'm not fucking going back. So we're hanging out down here. I'm
like, it's, it's like a vacation.
You know what I mean? We're in this, we're, we're in a three-bedroom house. We
have, like, a huge kitchen. We, we go on bike rides every day.
The island's empty. It's awesome. So, we're hanging out.
I thought, I thought I was missing human contact, like, you know, from outside,
because it's me and my girl here.
But, and I've never been one to, like, chit-chat with people on the street, you
know, just bullshit, whatever.
And I went out for a smoke before we started to do this. And that wore off in
about two seconds. This guy who's the super of the next building walked by. He's
like, hey, how you doing? I'm out. Hey, how are you? You know, engaged for a
second.
It took, it took, it took about three bounces of the conversations. I was like,
all right, I'm done with this fucking job.
Because just talking, when you start to talk to somebody and they have a
difference of opinion, like, he's like, he's like, I don't know what Cuomo's
doing. I'm like, oh, I think he's doing a good job. He just launches into a tirade.
I'm like, all right, buddy, be safe. I hope you get it. Get away from me.
Get the fuck out of here.
Yeah.
That's one thing.
It's weird. I had the only, like, long conversation I had with someone I didn't
know besides, like, podcasting and stuff was in the dog park. But I actually,
that's, like, the one place where I love human interaction. Because the people
in the dog park who are willing to talk in the dog park, we all share this
commonality that we like dogs better than humans.
So, it's always these kind of weird, quirky, interesting people. Like, I met a
sound designer who did songs for me and Rosebud Baker in the dog park. Like, I'm
making business connections.
That's great.
Like, I love it. Yeah, and this, and the woman I talked to this week, she was,
like, she was definitely, like, me if I don't play my cards right and, like,
think about, you know, maybe getting married or something.
Um, but I loved her energy. She told me about making four quiches and how the
dogs are taking over her apartment. And I was like, I love this for you. So.
That's great. Yeah, you probably meet people that are used to talking to dogs
more than humans at the dog park.
So, it's like, you don't know what kind of conversation you're going to fucking
get.
Yeah, I was worried about going to a pharmacy and I had to let her know that
the pharmacy, we're seriously, the pharmacy will deliver to you.
Yeah, exactly.
So.
If I see a dog on the street, I never talk to the owner. I always just talk to
the dog.
And I'll melt, I'll melt the second I see it. I'm like, oh, who do you go for a
little ride?
I never talk to the owner. And I hate when the owner yanks the dog away. Like,
what am I, a fucking pedophile over here?
I'm trying to pet the dog.
Oh, exactly. It's a pupophile. I made up that word on Twitter.
That's pretty good.
I'm such a pupophile. Like, I will walk down the street and just be like, hi,
doggie. Hi, doggie.
And I'll say hi, doggie out loud. Like, someone who's not all there.
Do you get annoyed when you walk Alfred? At all? Like, if people stop you?
No. Well, that's, they're going to pay for that if they, if they stop me.
Because if any one time someone leans down into Alfred, he goes crazy and barks.
And I, and I don't warn them because he doesn't bite. So I think he's not going
to hurt them. But he just has a really vicious bark for a little 17 pound dog.
That's awesome. So I just let him, I just let him, I go, oh, sorry. He's a
little cranky. Like, I'm really, I think it's, it brings me great amusement.
That's great. Yeah.
A little preview to the game. We're going to start in a second here, but just
out of curiosity, just to mark something off the list. Do you dress the dog up
in clothes and take him for a walk?
Other than like, if it's the middle of winter.
Um, I was like, I, I have, I give, I have a columning costume for him. But
other than that, I don't do clothes. But like, he's a Whippet mix. So he
actually does need like a sweater or a sweatshirt.
He's shivers. So, and cause I was someone who was vehemently against dog
clothing, but then I got this dog and I was like, oh, like some dogs like
medically need to wear stuff because they shiver.
Um, but yeah, other than that, no, I don't take him in like bumblebee costumes
on a Tuesday.
I got, I got an aunt who dresses the dog up for like St. Patty's day and shit.
I'm like, lady, you need to get out of the house more.
I do a themed like sweatshirts or sweaters like around the holidays or
something like, yeah, he'll have like a Christmas thing, whatever.
But like, I'm not just putting costumes on him for no reason.
I mean, except for the one time we put on like a cowboy outfit and then made
him dance to, um, private dancer on video.
But that was more like, out.
We gotta get you out of the house, kid.
That was my best friend and I, we, we, we, we dressed him up as a cowboy.
And then we threw dollar bills at him and made him dance to private dancer.
That sounds like a good time though.
I'm not going to lie.
I would definitely, I would definitely have partaken.
Well, Tina Turner rocking it.
Yeah.
All right.
Corinne Fisher, you are definitely a standup comedian of incredible note.
You've done incredible things.
Um, but we have to find out, are you garbage?
So we're going to ask you a series of questions.
We want you to ask them to your best knowledge.
Um, we know a little bit about your background.
I just want to, uh, talk about that for a second and then we'll jump right into
it.
You were born and raised in union, New Jersey, correct?
That is correct.
Yes.
Very nice.
And, uh, what did you do on the record already?
I know.
And I was like, I've been drinking a snap, a diet Snapple the entire time,
which is very garbage.
So yeah.
Yes.
You know what pisses me off, man?
Fucking Snapple switched over to plastic bottles.
I know I agree with you.
It doesn't keep it as cold.
That's fucking bullshit.
No.
It doesn't keep it as cold.
It's not as clean.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You can taste the plastic.
Yeah.
Buddy, you've got a nice cold.
I wholeheartedly agree with you guys.
Um, what do my parents do is the question.
Uh, my mom is a teacher, a middle school teacher, and my dad owns a baseball
card and horror memorabilia
collectible store.
Whoa.
Really?
That's fucking awesome.
Mm-hmm.
Wow.
In Jersey, I presume?
In union?
Yeah, it's in Rosal Park.
Wow.
And, all right, so like you grew up, was it like a single home suburb you grew
up?
Uh, exactly, yes.
Okay.
Did you have a refrigerator in the garage?
No, we did not have a refrigerator in the garage.
I had friends who did, but we never did.
That's clean living.
You got a, you got a garage fridge.
That is fucking, I had one growing up.
It's still the same one.
It's that like white that's now yellow.
Oh, it's fucking, it's great.
No, what is that, is that just like for like storing extra, like, because
people had a lot
of frozen meats in there.
It's a lot of, the freezers always meats that no one's ever going to eat.
Right.
They've been in there, it's like fish from 15 years ago, and it's mainly just
sodas, like
sodas and water.
Yeah.
Sodas, water, beers, ice pops for the kids in the summer.
It's a real garbage thing.
If you have a garage fridge, you're, they're awesome, but you're garbage.
Oh, see, this is good to know.
Cause I always felt like, oh, are we poor because we don't have two refrigerators,
but we were
just better than everyone.
So the thing is, the thing is a lot of people think that it's a, we bought two
refrigerators.
The one was like an uncle's or like it was, they sat down there on the side of
the road.
It's never, we went out one day and purchased two new refrigerators.
The one's always 70 years old and like it rattles and shakes.
Okay.
Okay.
But let's stay on the topic of, uh, of growing up.
A couple of questions about the household growing up.
Um, let's go into the bathroom for a second.
Uh, what kind of soap, shampoo did your mom get?
Were you using like bars of dial?
Did you have a bottle shampoo or bottled soap?
What kind of stuff did you use?
When we first started, we did do, we had bars of like, it wasn't dial.
I think it was like, I, like ivory or dove, like a little up t
