[ laughter ] it's a app, right? it's a app so when you in an argument, the main thing about an argument is this you didn't say that. you didn't say that. yes, i did yes, i did so it's called "what i say?" and it rewinds your life -- there's a moment, right? it records the last minute or

two of the conversation. so you can always go back. it works the same way as your security cameras in your home. it just naturally stays on and records the argument when -- it has a unique sensor that senses -- an argument about to happen. and it comes on automatically. and you program your app to a certain volume so that if she's yelling from the room, you got to set it from where it's at and then can you go back "i didn't say that." "yes, you did. you hit the button on the app. and it will play back what the hell you just said see? it's called "what i say? what i say what did i say what did i say how did this happen? why are we arguing right now what happened? what did i say >> seth: it's really good, j.b >> isn't that great? >> seth: i want to congratulate you on the fact that you're emmy-nominated for "mapleworth murders. you're -- one of your fellow nominees is the co-creator of the show, our old friend john lutz. but there's also some -- you know, not that you guys

aren't heavy hitters, but you're also in the category with kevin hart, john travolta. pretty good list >> mm-hmm. it's a good list, seth and here's what i'm saying i think john and i, one of us has a great chance to win this >> seth: when you say john, do you mean lutz or travolta? >> john lutz john lutz and i, i feel, have great, great chance to win this. you know, people love -- people love john travolta you know i'm just worried that they -- you know how they give people awards for something they previously did i just don't want this to happen i don't want them to give him this emmy for this show he did based on "saturday night fever." i don't want this to happen.

>> i am. you know, i miss my car a lot. i'm used to driving -- like, i miss crying in a car that i'm driving. >> seth: sure. >> like, here can you do it, but you're like, "oh, my god, i'm not in control of my life, or even this vehicle. it's very triggering but yeah, my boyfriend lives in new york and is, like, born and raised in manhattan, which i consider low-key child abuse, but -- [ light laughter ] he's like, "if i have kids, we have to raise them here. and i was like, "i'm going to love my children." [ laughter ] but i've learned that, like, when you are single and you're looking for somebody, like you need to make a list of all the things you want in a partner, right? because if you forget to put something on there, the universe is like, "well, technically, you didn't say, so we didn't bring you that." and because he grew up in new york, he cannot drive. didn't even know i had to ask for that thought that kind of just came with the fully grown man [ laughter ]

like, you know what i mean [ laughter ] >> seth: yeah, i do. >> i'm like, "what are you going do if there's, like, an apocalypse?" and he's like, "there are lyfts. there are ubers. i said, "what do you think uber drivers are going to be doing during the apocalypse? you think they're going to be hopping on the app, like, 'oh, hell yeah, surge pricing must be because satan is here.'" like, it's just crazy to me. >> seth: you -- when i saw "quarter-life crisis," your special on netflix -- and i feel this is something that is true of me as i get older i become very resentful of young talented people. and i was like, "how is she so good, so young?" and then i felt a little bit better, because you started very young doing standup in churches. >> yeah. yeah, i started when i was 16. that's the only place can you do standup when you're 16, is in church and only if you do an altar call at the end if you end it with like, "and jesus died for your sins." then they're like, "okay, you can do 15.

that's fine. but, like, comedy clubs won't let you perform until you're 18. >> seth: gotcha. >> and even then, it's a little sketchy. >> seth: and so what -- and did you find -- did the material go over well with your church crowd? >> you know, i spent most of the first couple years of my standup career being like very apologetic for just being so young. like, the first joke i ever did, how i used to open sets, is i used to say, like, "i know there is probably going to be like a generational gap here. you know i'm so young like, you guys saw 'titanic' in theaters, i saw it on vhs. like, you cried because jack died i cried because leonardo dicaprio didn't look like that anymore. [ light laughter ] >> seth: would -- so "deal with it" is the new special why are you calling -- the new hour you're touring with, i should say why is it called "deal with it"? >> the new hour that i'm doing now is a bit darker than "quarter-life crisis" was. like, "quarter-life crisis," my netflix special, is a lot about,

like, being in your 20s and, like, it sucks and it's hard because you're in transitionto u suck like, "okay, we know we suck let's figure out what it is," with like a lot of therapy and soul searching and whatnot so i named the tour "deal with it," because it's like dealing with your issues, dealing with your childhood trauma. and also, if you saw "quarter-life crisis" and you come to see me and you're like, "why aren't there more dating jokes? deal with it this is the show this is the show >> seth: you actually talk about and went through what a lot of people did, which is continuing to do therapy during a pandemic where you couldn't be in the room with someone, and having to do it over zoom. >> mm-hmm. >> seth: how did you find that >> well, i started seeing a new therapist during the pandemic. my old one in one of our last sessions told me that when i get close to people, i have a tendency to self-sabotage. and like, i thought that was bull [ bleep ] so i ghosted her. [ laughter ] and i started seeing my current

therapist during the pandemic. so i only recently met her in person and, like, oh, man you have done zoom therapy, seth >> seth: i haven't done zoom therapy. >> oh, it's so fun watching your trauma buffer. it's a great time. watching your issues struggle under the weight of your weak wifi it's really -- it's great. every week i was like, "it's just hard, my dad doesn't listen." she's like, "i can't hear you. you froze. if you're still talking, i'm not getting any of it. luckily i have your credit card information. i'll see you next week." >> seth: you -- we were talking backstage about the timing i felt deeply empathetic for comedians who may be -- the shut down happened right before they were about to tape like, that's the worst, right? you have an hour ready to go and you have to wait so long your special came out right before and somebody might think, "oh, that's bad timing. because a big special comes out, you can then go sell tickets but it actually turned out to be pretty good timing >> yeah, i mean, i was very nervous, because it came out the week before lockdown

so just under the wire and i was thinking, like, "okay, well i guess i missed my moment here." like by the time everything goes back to normal, if it ever does, i -- people will have forgotten that this special even came out. meanwhile, my agents are calling me like, "this is a great time to have a special come out." like seriously, people are trapped in their homes they're watching stuff they wouldn't even consider watching if they could go outside [ laughter ] like, "people are really giving stuff a chance right now." and i'm like, okay i would have hoped this did well without a global emergency but i'll take it >> seth: you saying that makes me realize how many agents probably told clients, "you are crushing this pandemic." >> oh, my god. this one -- "covid's been great for you. [ laughter ] you heard that so many times >> exciting, as we do come out of it, hopefully, that people will be able to go and see you perform again. and you've got a lot of great tour dates in a lot of great cities and thank you so much for being here it's really lovely talking to you. >> thank you so much for having

don't stop dovato without talking to your doctor, as your hepatitis b may worsen or become life-threatening. serious or life-threatening side effects can occur, including allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup, and liver problems. if you have a rash and other symptoms of an allergic reaction, stop dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are, may be, or plan to be pregnant. dovato may harm your unborn baby. use effective birth control while on dovato. do not breastfeed while taking dovato. most common side effects are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness, and anxiety. so much goes into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. ask your doctor about dovato-i did. ♪♪
