Hey guys, before we start the podcast, I just wanted to let you all know that my husband,

Burt Kreischer, is starting his new permission to party world tour in Rockford, Illinois on September 18th with all new material. He's been off the road for almost a year, and he's ready to get back out there, and I'm ready for him to get back out there. Tons of dates and cities. Go to berber bird.com to find a show near you.

We laughed through this whole thing.

Right.

Because it was, there tons of dates and cities go to berberber.com to find a show near you we laughed through this

whole thing right because it was so absurd and when you when you allowed yourself to feel the

gravity of what the reality of this thing was it was overwhelming I can only imagine tell me, are you ready to tell me the story? Oh, yes. Are we recording? Is it on? Are we doing this? Oh, yeah. We've been talking. Oh, this whole time. Yes. Oh, my God. Well, hello, hello. Yeah. So, I mean, it's been a wacky year for me where it's like something wild and great will happen.

And then something, I don't want to necessarily say bad, but something sort of like shocking will happen.

So in March, I booked Colbert, my late night debut on Colbert.

Within the hour, here's the crazy, it was amazing.

But I got the call that I booked it.

And I've been working so hard.

You know, it's like, oh, my God, it pays off.

And I was getting calls in from people.

And I get this call from this New Jersey number.

I was like, I don't recognize this,

but it's probably somebody calling to say, congratulations. And I pick it up. It's my dermatologist. And he's like, hey, you've got skin cancer. What? And I was like, I literally said to him, I don't have time for this. I'm making my late night debut. Right? I don't have time for

cancer. No. No one has time for cancer. No one. So I got that cut out of my, and it was on my face, too. So you can't see it now. I'm doing a very good job of covering up my scars. I've had to learn some new fun makeup tricks, but they like had to slice down my face.

So, you know, as a female and as a female in the entertainment industry, it was all very,

very shocking to like suddenly be. And because nobody knows, Mo's surgery is very like invasive

and they don't sell it like that.

They don't give you the whole preparation of how intense.
