Hey, everybody. Welcome back. It's time for another episode of The Cripescast with me, your host, Charlie Barons.

We are, of course, presented by Jolly Goodsoda, and we've got a great episode for you this week.

I had the honor of chatting with Sashir Zameda, who you might recognize from her time on SNL,

and a bunch of other shows, including Home Economics on ABC and Woke. I met Sashir at a comedy show.

Actually, we were both performing in Milwaukee at Marquette University,

I met her with Roy Wood Jr., who has also been on the podcast. All three of us were performing that night.

And she was kind enough to come on The Cripescast, which I don't take for granted,

because she's extremely busy. And I think this is going to be a especially great episode for those

of you who love comedy, because we had a great section when we talked about, you know, Sashir,

she was doing improv in college and couldn't get on the team. So she and a bunch of her friends

just started their own team. And eventually, they got so good that that's how she got her agent.

That's how she got her manager. Eventually, that's how she got SNL. So it's just cool to hear

someone who was told no, and then turn that no into a yes. And I really enjoy that story. I feel

like I relate to it in a lot of ways, just being told no, no, no. And then kind of staring my

own thing and it took off. So very cool. And she also does a lot of work with the ACLU.

And we get to hear some very interesting stories about her family. Her mom actually helped

desegregate a school in the South. So it's just a lot of incredible stories packed into one

podcast. And we talk about bird watching. We are both bird watchers. And that is perhaps what I

I really nerded out with her on this. And I'm happy we could do it. So anyway, right now I am

coming to you alive from some hotel in Tacoma. We were in Spokane last night. By the way,

there's this great place called Wisconsin burger in Spokane. And they have phenomenal burgers

one third before the show got the man to walk. It was phenomenal. On the road with me is Dante and
