Greetings to you, my loves. It is I, D. True Cell, and I am reporting into you from Tacoma,

Washington, where I'm doing stand-up comedy with today's guest, Ruby Settnik. I met Ruby when

I was at Helium in Portland. My friend Lance Bangs was running a comedy festival out there and showed

up with Ruby. She did a guest spot. I thought she was super funny, and she's been going on the road

with me ever since. She is brilliant, hilarious, and I'm really excited for you all to meet her,

if you're not familiar with her. You can find her on Instagram at RubySettnik, all the links you

need to find are going to be at DuncanTrustle.com. And if you really want to meet her, you should come

see her. Do you live stand-up with me in San Francisco at Cobb's Comedy Club on the 6th and 7th

of October? One last thing before we dive into this episode. Sorry, sorry for the abbreviated intro

here. I'm on the road, and I just, I don't have time. I don't have my orchestra. I don't have

my writers. I don't have my band. I don't have my agent, my manager, my publicist, Aaron makeup.

You might be surprised to know that even though this is an audio-only podcast, anytime I record,

I like to be in full makeup and with one of my favorite wigs on, and I don't have any of that

here on the road, because my concierge unfortunately got Zika virus and was not able to make it to

Tacoma with my wardrobe. And of course, my makeup person, as you're probably well aware,

disappeared in Alaska a few weeks ago. So it's been a little topsy-turvy for me. I'll be honest

with you, but I'm not going to unload on you. I'm not going to emotionally dump on you. It's

it's hard. As a podcaster, we just need certain things. So what I did, because I don't have makeup,

is I just went out to the bay here in Tacoma, scooped up some mud and put it in a jar and just

rubbed it all over my naked body. And it feels like I'm in costume kind of, but it just doesn't,

it's just not the same thing. You know, like I just don't feel right if I'm not wearing blush

when I'm recording. I hope you'll subscribe to our Patreon. It's patreon.com forward slash
