Okay, well, welcome to What Are We Even Doing?

I'm your host, Kyle McLaughlin.

Try to spell that.

It's impossible.

This is the show where we sit down with your favorite actors, creatives, internet sensations. We dice and slice. We talk creativity. We talk ambition and the wild world of social media. We basically get weird. Weird together in a good way. Today, I'm very, very happy to welcome actor, writer, producer, very funny, hysterical

comedian.

And as Marty Short likes to call you Jim Cole Booster, which made me laugh.

I will tell you, in studio, that lasted, he did it many other times, and it lasted so much

longer than what ended up in the final edit.

Well, this is Joel Kim Booster with us, ladies, gentlemen. Thank you so much longer than the what ended up in the final edit. Well, this is Joel Kim Booster with us, ladies. Thank you so much. Yay, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know if Marty has this or maybe, I don't know if you have this too, but when I, sometimes if I get in a situation of pressure, like I'm, let's say we're at a party and I need to introduce, make an introduction, right? Which I'm not very good at. I sometimes will go, it could be my best friend, and the name just pops right out of my head for the moment. Does it ever, I mean, I'm not the only one. Hasn't started to happen to me yet. Just to give it a couple years. One of my great talents is introducing people, actually, though. Is it? Tell me what the secret is.

I don't remember everyone's names, but I do it. I introduce people a lot in order to get someone else's name. That's the best part about being married, by the way, is having someone eternally there to introduce to people so that you can be like, what is this? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But my thing is, I'm always, like, I will introduce, like, someone and be like, this is Justin.

He has his Ph.D. in chemistry, and he works for Apple to make sure that our phones aren't poisoning us. And this is Zane. He is a D&D Dungeon Master. Right, right. And, like, I's the secret. That is the secret. I love distilling a person down to a fun fact. Yeah, yes. But I think that's the way to do it. I think you have to have like the two or three, like you have to have that little short two second, not two second, but two line bio. Yeah, give them something to talk about. Exactly. And I tend to be like, hey, it's, and that's about as far as I.

And they have to, people are like, oh, I guess it's my turn to talk now. You know what my secret is too when I'm in a new person and I'm having that awful small talk conversation? and it's paramount in LA to do this, is I always say, like like answer this question in any way you want but what do

you do in LA and that I find because a lot of people when you just say what do you do they default to

work but like sometimes that is the more interesting answer but sometimes I don't need to hear that

you're a consultant at Deloitte. That's a conversation killer.

You know, so I've had people be like, when I've phrased, oh, and I've posed the question that way, they'll be like, they'll stop and they'll be like, I garden. And I'm like, okay, tell me about that. Oh, I love that. That sounds way more interesting than whatever job you have, you know? And so it's been fun.

That's a little bit of what we,
