Well, hello, this is The Last Laugh. I'm Matt Wilstein from The Daily Beast and I'm here in the studio today with the very funny actor Natalie Morales.

Hello, how are you? Nice to meet you, Natalie. You do. Thank you for coming in and doing this. Happy to be here. Yeah. So the reason I wanted to have you in for this very special episode is you have a new scripted podcast coming out called

Ellie in the Wave.

Correct.

Can you tell us about it?

You know, it's a scripted story about the end of the world, but it's a comedy.

Yeah.

In a sense.

It's not, I don't know.

It's sort of a life story.

It's in the near future, I would say like 30 years from now, a computer virus hits, sweeps the globe and erases everybody's data, like photos, emails, medical records, literally everything. And by that time, nothing is on paper anymore everything is digital so

it really just like all your text messages all your photos all your videos are gone forever so it's sort of

about like what would happen if that happened and how it would how it would affect people not not

entirely it's mostly about this one woman's life and she decides before the virus hits her, she bought these like eight tapes at a pawn shop and she's going to record like the sound of the videos of her life and also talk about her life and just have a record that's analog.

Yeah, I got to listen to the first couple episodes and really enjoyed it.

Thanks.

It's very unique story.

And I think, yeah, it is about, it's sort of less about the tech element of it, more about

memory and how you, you know, looking back on your life and how, what, what memory means

in this time when everything is, is recorded. Yeah, because it's not, I mean, it's not like the

end of the world, but it is the end of the digital world, right? So it's like, yes, it's a huge

deal, but like no one is dying except for maybe those who need their medical records
