| 0:00.0 | hold on our secret weapon. We got Obama coming in for the endorsement. This man is never allowed |
| 0:05.0 | to retire. Like, we can't get it together that we keep calling Obama. Like, Obama got called |
| 0:14.0 | for a governor of New Jersey race. And I was like, this poor guy, where they were like, we need |
| 0:20.3 | Obama at the rally. Like, the man literally can't retire. Like, George Bush got to retire and just go practice painting. Like, he always just wanted to be a painter. It's like his dad made him fucking run for president. And he gets to retire and just focus on his painting. And his painting has vastly improved, by the way. Can I just say that? |
| 0:38.0 | I know. |
| 0:38.4 | I know. |
| 0:38.8 | A lot of people don't like George Bush, but he really did become a pretty good painter. |
| 0:58.7 | Oh, hey everybody. |
| 1:01.2 | Welcome to two stand-up gals. |
| 1:02.4 | I am Teresa DeGatano. |
| 1:03.7 | And I'm Erica Spiro. |
| 1:05.7 | How's everyone doing this week? |
| 1:07.6 | I'm just going to go ahead and answer that. |
| 1:08.3 | We're doing good. |
| 1:09.6 | We are coming off. |
| 1:46.7 | This was Halloween weekend here in New York City. So just a heads up. My Mona Lisa, Mona Teresa costume has been retired for the season. So I did dress up like that. And I couldn't bartended it. But so I just posed throughout the bar at different times. So that was fun. That was a fun little Halloween. Halloween is a shit show. Can I just say it is, it's just messy. Like all of a sudden you're bartending. There's a scary man in a mask just sitting at the bar. And you're like, I can't even see you. Like it's just, it's a very weird. I don't know. I almost think people who really like Halloween are a little strange. Can I say that? |
| 2:00.9 | Interesting. Okay, what level do you mean of really liking in terms of dressing up? Or do you mean like women that refer to themselves as like, I'm a little bit of a witch? Like what are you talking about? Do you know what I mean? Because like those people aren't necessarily super into Halloween that's like that's a lifestyle that's a lifestyle now I like a Halloween costume don't |
| 2:06.2 | get me wrong but it is funny when maybe I listen maybe I lean towards like a simple costume that |
| 2:12.1 | you can take on and off and then you got the person who like puts two hours into face paint |
| 2:16.7 | with like blood coming out of their mouth. |
| 2:18.3 | Like that's a whole other level of Halloween that I didn't grow up with. My mom was like, hold on, let's get you a sheet. You're a shepherd. Like what can we do? You know what it is? I'm just not into actually scary things. So when someone has a genuinely scaredy costume, that just freaks me out. |
| 2:35.6 | Where I'm like, oh, I can't really look at you. |
