-
Look at all of you.
-
You look so good.
-
Thanks for dressing up for me.
-
You look fantastic.
-
I am so excited to be here.
-
I was so excited, I woke up at 5 o'clock in the morning.
-
I woke up and I was like, wait, what does AM stand for again?
-
And then it hit me.
-
Aw, man.
-
Pretty sure that's Latin.
-
Pretty sure that's what that is.
-
You guys, happy holidays.
-
It's so wonderful.
-
Yes, it looks so good.
-
This set is so great.
-
I love the holidays.
-
I really-- yeah, you can give it up for the holidays.
-
[APPLAUSE]
-
I love the holidays because I love holiday parties,
-
and I love holiday parties because I love snack tables.
-
I love veggie trays on snack tables.
-
I love that little wagon wheel of love just right there.
-
And I love what's in the center of that little wagon wheel,
-
because you can tell where you are in this country
-
by what's in the center of that veggie tray.
-
If you're in a city or coast, that's right,
-
you got hummus in the center of that little wagon wheel.
-
And if you're anywhere else in this country, what's
-
in the center of that tray?
-
Ranch.
-
America sauce, that's right.
-
I love ranch.
-
It's our greatest export.
-
It should be our ambassador.
-
We should just be sending it and saying, this is our best.
-
And I love ranch dressing.
-
I used to be ashamed of my love for ranch, but no longer.
-
I don't hide that light under a basket anymore.
-
I love it because I'm a hillbilly.
-
I'm from Ohio, that's right, which
-
I like to call the thinking man's Indiana.
-
And I'm a hillbilly.
-
I love it.
-
You might be like, you're not a hillbilly.
-
Well, when's the last time you chipped your tooth on a car?
-
Very recently.
-
Also, one time I was walking and I
-
saw a single packet of Miracle Whip
-
on the ground and my first thought
-
was, oh, free Miracle Whip.
-
Luckily, my second thought was, hey, man, we got enough money.
-
We can go buy some Miracle Whip if we need the tangy zip.
-
You guys, I use they-them pronouns.
-
Thank you so much.
-
I am a hero, I appreciate that.
-
Thank you for your support.
-
A couple people.
-
I do use they-them pronouns.
-
These days it mostly just keeps people
-
questioning whether they really want to talk to me or not.
-
It's very convenient.
-
They're like-- hey.
-
Sure.
-
Realistically though, I identify as the "and"
-
in "ladies and gentlemen."
-
That's what-- right in the middle there, you know?
-
The sort of a assigned gender identity I have these days
-
is, you work here, right?
-
Everywhere I go, people think I work there.
-
People always ask me, you work here, right?
-
And my answer is always, no.
-
Because I don't.
-
And then their follow up is, 10 times out of 10--
-
after I say no it's, are you sure?
-
Well, you know I do come to this Target quite a bit.
-
Also, if I'm not sure I work in the place
-
that we're currently in, I don't think
-
you want to be asking me any more questions.
-
I am not your guy.
-
I also recently moved in next door to a potbelly pig.
-
That's my new neighbor.
-
I've named her Karen.
-
She also goes by Peppermint, so.
-
She's-- pigs are really great.
-
I love them.
-
Have you guys ever noticed that they
-
look like they're wearing high heels
-
on the back and the front?
-
That's why I feel like that phrase,
-
it's like putting lipstick on a pig, it's so confusing.
-
Because it really pulls the look together, you know?
-
It really completes it.
-
I love that little pig.
-
Pigs are very smart.
-
They're just like dogs, and they're pack animals too,
-
just like dogs.
-
And I heard that pig next door and I heard her
-
making her little pig sounds.
-
And I was alone in my house.
-
We're both home alone.
-
I heard that little pig and I was like, that pig is all
-
by herself over there.
-
And I was in my apartment and I was like,
-
you ought to go over there and you ought to knock on that door
-
and you ought to say, excuse me.
-
I think your pig is lonely!
-
And that is the whitest thing I've ever
-
thought to do in my entire life, is demand
-
to speak to a pig's manager.
-
Thank you so much.
-
I've been Rhea Butcher.
-
Thanks so much for having me.
-
[APPLAUSE]
-
Very funny.
-
Thank you so much.
-
Thank you so much.
-
So Rhea I discovered recently.
-
I saw your stand up and I wrote to you and said,
-
I'm a huge fan.
-
And then I found out that you were actually
-
supposed to be in the audience how many years ago?
-
Well, it was, I think, just in May.
-
Oh, wow, recently.
-
Like this year.
-
So you didn't get to come to the show,
-
but then now you're invited to be on the show.
-
On the show, yeah.
-
So it's actually--
-
Yeah.
-
You're here!
-
It worked out.
-
It's a different way.
-
I prefer this seat much more.
-
Just a different vantage point.
-
Just a slightly different perspective.
-
So now, since I am discovering you late,
-
when did you know you wanted to do stand up?
-
I mean, I--
-
I will tell you honestly, I wanted
-
to do stand up when I saw you do stand up.
-
Oh.
-
Like I've watched you do stand up for your whole career
-
and like, you're the reason I wanted to do it.
-
Oh.
-
Well, thank you.
-
Well, thank you.
-
Yeah.
-
The whole time.
-
That's sweet.
-
Yeah.
-
Thank you.
-
Well, that's very exciting that I'm a fan of yours
-
and you've been a fan of mine.
-
And you're here.
-
And you can come back anytime.
-
I think you're hilarious.
-
Thank you so much.
-
And if you want to go see Rhea, Rhea
-
will be at the Bravo Theater in San Francisco on January 18th
-
and we'll be right back.
-
Rhea Butcher.
