It's Friday, November 1st, 2024 from Peachfish Productions.

It's The Gist.

I'm Mike Peska.

This is another one of those funny.

You should mention episodes where we interview comedians about how they get their ideas,

how they tease out their ideas, and a comedian who's full of very funny ideas, an eclectic set of ideas,

with, of course, great delivery and great word choice, and just an excellent rapport with the audience,

is Sam Jay. Sam Jay is one of the more interesting comics working today. She had a show called

Pause on HBO, which was just an exploration of social issues.

Then she goes and does the Tom Brady roast and crushes it.

Let me give you a little taste of her comedy, and she'll talk about gender and class and

race and come at all these issues that can be very familiar.

She'll come at it with fresh take, funny angle.

Here's a little bit from her latest HBO special.

So she starts crying, and I'm like, ooh, what you crying for? Take, funny angle. Here's a little bit from her latest HBO special.

So she starts crying and I'm like, ooh, what you crying for?

And she's like, because you don't think about me. That's the whole thing. You're never considering me. I'm like, what am I not thinking about? She's like, you don't think about

what could happen to me. Anything could have happened to me back there. I'm like, what the

fuck could have happened to you? She goes, I could have got took. It's like, bitch, you're 40.

Who's taking you? Who is taking you? I am so sick of her in this getting took, always being on the menu.

And I'm not saying women don't get took at all.

I'm a woman, I get it.
