Is this man like incredible at Kondolingus?

Well, in West Hollywood, there are many forms of currency.

Could you grab a couple pillows?

Sorry, no, my baby's on the desk.

This is a disaster already.

Welcome back to Petty Crimes, the only true crime comedy podcast that exclusively investigates non-crimes. Kira, I'm so sorry. I am not going to have time to ask you how you're doing today. Thank God. Thank God because we have a very special guest in the court

with us today. Today's guest is a comedian, writer, and actress based in Los Angeles, California.

Ooh, just like me. Her Netflix special, If You Didn't Want Me, then topped every best of

2023 list and is still streaming, by the way. She's been a writer for Rick and Morty, I Love You America with Sarah Silverman,

and has guest starred on Amazon's Red Oaks, Corporate on Comedy Central, and Peacock's Rutherford Falls.

She has upcoming live shows in Brooklyn on November 21st and 22nd that Kira will be attending, I'm sure.

Mm-hmm.

Born and raised in Ohio, please welcome to the petty crimes court, Beth Stelling.

Yay!

Great to be here.

Here, here.

Beth, would you consider yourself a petty person?

I did have an entire tour called the Petty Betty Tour.

Whoa. So the answer is yes.

Okay. Yeah, I think for me, it's rooted in being a stand-up comic for most of my career. I enjoy doing other things, of course, but that's like how I got into comedy. I would say I'm petty and I take it out on stage. It's how I could control a situation that didn't feel good or if someone wronged me, if I could write the perfect joke, wouldn't it be

nice to get the last laugh? In your stand-up, do you think about, you know, because like here,

we have real stories submitted by listeners and we heavily anonymize them.
