Welcome to The Hen Report from Our Hen House.

This is Jasmine Singer.

This is Mary Ann Sullivan.

And today we're going to be joined by someone who you know in love and we know in love, comedian

Mike Kaplan, who is both vegan and funny at the same time, which is not always easy.

So Mike, welcome back to the show. We're so excited that you are here.

I'm always happy to be here. I love you guys. Thank you so much for having me.

I didn't finish reading your bio yet. I'm going to finish now, but I always feel a little

weird when I am reading it and haven't taken them. And, you know, the person's just sort of sitting

there listening to their life story. I find that one of the most awkward things. Like, I was

recently, I'm seeing an event and I was sitting right there in the reading my bio and I sort of wanted to die.

But I don't really know why because I did do all this.

It's kind of normal.

Well, I think you're both right.

I think it is a standard thing that happens and also in the grandest scheme of things, it is weird to have people talk about you

while you are there, like talking about you behind your back, of course, but in front of your face,

about you.

But like sometimes as a comedian, you know, when I'm on a show with other comedians,

the host might say, how would you like me to introduce you? And then I can let them know,

you can say, you know, I've got this new special coming out, or I've been on this late night show,

or it doesn't matter, just say something that is true and kind. You know, if it's a friend, you know, speak from your heart.

Sometimes as a joke I'll say, speak from your heart and have your heart deliver these credits exactly.
