Really hope you enjoy part two of Walking the Dog with the wonderful Catherine Ryan.

Do remember to listen to part one if you haven't already and we'd love it if you

subscribe to Walking the Dog. Here's Catherine and money and Megan and Cardi B and Ray Ray.

People often ask you when did you know that you were funny and I think in some ways I don't know if that's the right

question to ask a comedian because what I've discovered increasingly is that

anyone who makes a decent living out of it is that kind of that kind of that happened for you that it wasn't a conscious

decision is that kind of that happened for you that it was just increasingly

present in your life that comedy was just always part

of who you were and what you wanted to do. I mean it's I think it's different for

boys and girls I think that it's been said before and I concur that it doesn't make you

popular as a young woman to be funny and people don't really like it the same way

that it's rewarded in young men and it alienates you more than anything else and

you long to be quiet and gentle and pretty or as I definitely did. I didn't want to

have this thing that made people look at me in the way that they did, like

disappointed and confused. And then I tried to be pretty and I worked, I did okay at that for a while as any 21 year old young woman with access to

hair dye and the spray tan will tell you and when I worked Hooters, the girls there actually thought I was really

funny. And I had a tribe of girlfriends who always thought I was really funny. And even Bobby,

early doors, before I thought it even mattered was like you're really funny and for some

reason I took that compliment to heart I thought oh that's even better than being

called pretty or thin or the things that I thought would feel really good when Bobby

thought I was funny I thought it was great probably because it's an asset

that doesn't appreciate the way your youth does or the way being pretty does.
