Hello and welcome to another episode of Not Too Deep. I'm your host Grace Helbig. I'm very excited

because we have comedian, beautiful human, miniatures, collector, Lauren Lapkes on today's episode.

And this is such a fun episode. We talk all about how she got started in comedy in Chicago to

New York to LA. We talk about some embarrassing auditioning stories. We share a mutual, deep,

aggressive love of reality television that we get into. Hers is amazing and I'm so just in awe

of her appreciation for the thing that I also love on such a deep trash level. And her new movie

on Netflix, The Wrong Missy with David Spade, is outdoor coming out very soon. It's an hilarious

movie. She's absolutely fantastic in it. It's got love. It's got heartbreak. It's got stunts.

It also has some very steamy sex scenes that involve elaborate choreography. So make sure you check

that out and enjoy this delightful episode of Not Too Deep with Lauren Lapkes.

Lauren, thank you for being here in these bizarre times. How are you holding up?

I'm actually, I'm okay. I think I had like pure anxiety for the first couple of weeks.

I'm kind of leveling off. I guess that's better, but probably I'm just disassociating from reality.

Yeah, yeah. I can't tell if I'm handling things okay or if I'm just becoming blissfully ignorant

and complacent and then that'll have repercussions later. Totally.

Okay, you are so fascinating and you do so many cool, interesting fun things. How,

I ask a lot of people that are guests that have like multi-faceted things going on.

What's your deal? How do you describe what you do to someone like a complete alien?

Yeah, I think I usually keep it as simple as possible and just say I'm a comedian or actor.

But yeah, I do so many different things to like, you know, keep my life rolling along and build a career.

So if I were to get more specific, I would say comedian slash improviser slash actor slash

podcaster slash, that's probably where the slash is like stopping. So many slashes. So many slashes.
