Hey guys, the podcast is started. Welcome to the three questions. Today I get to talk to

0:18.6

a very funny and very unique and very challenging comedic artists. Like you really do kind of

0:27.5

get out there and mix it up. I'm talking about Jamie Loftus. Hi. Hi. How are you? I'm good. I'm good.

0:33.1

The recent thing that you're doing right now is a Lolita podcast, which we will talk about more

0:39.6

and because I don't want to jump the gun on that. But you've been sort of like I say, a lot of

0:47.1

your work is very sort of like, I don't know if confrontational, but it definitely mixes it up in a

0:53.8

way where it has a perspective that a lot of other comedy doesn't. Thank you. Yeah. I don't know.

1:00.2

Which I think is really brave. And to me, I want some of the things to do and it just makes my skin

1:05.6

croaks. I'm so nervous. I hate. I just, I mean, I've done that kind of work for the Conan show,

again, this feels so bad. But I like it. But it feels, it doesn't feel good when you're doing it. Like, it always

2:05.3

feels like I, like, I need to stop because it's, it's too uncomfortable. It's like hurting too.
