You guys close?

Yeah.

I mean, look, I feel like you can love a parent and not always see eye to eye, you know?

And I don't necessarily agree on women's autonomy, for example.

So I like to donate to Planned Parenthood in his name.

Yeah, I performed.

I perform for them a couple times as well.

Isn't it weird?

For some reason, comics always get booked to perform a charity events.

Yeah, I've done it.

I have to say I've done charity events before and it's almost a Ziff.

The people booking it don't understand what comedy is because I always want to say to them afterwards, Comedy needs some kind of context, you know you need the room has to be prepared for comedy.

And sometimes if it's a really dark charity, they don't prepare the room in any way.

Have you had that happen?

Oh, my gosh.

Yeah.

One year plant there.

I had asked me to come perform at their fundraiser, called the Birds and Bees bash.

It was in Santa Barbara, California.

It was a bunch of rich old people gathered together.

The throw money at the cost.

Beautiful thing.

So it's like this swanky event and I slapped on a skirt, which is obviously a big deal for me.

And so what's in this beautiful banquet hall?

And they sent me down in the back next to Joanna Kerns.

You know who that is?

Right?

Uh, she's a sitcom actress.

What is she?

What was she on?

She was Mrs Seaver from growing pains.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

Growing pains.

I'm a little old for growing pains.

Uh, okay, I do remember that show.

I know who she is.

Yes.

Yeah.

I was so excited.

And I sat down and she explained that she is going to give the keynote speech and then she'll bring me up to do 15 minutes of stand up.

So Joanna is up there talking about Planned Parenthood.

What it means to her and her family and a woman in the back of the banquet hall next to me at our table starts toe have ah, heart attack.

Yeah.

So Joanna is just She just keeps talking because she doesn't know what's going on in the back of the room.

Just like I can't always know what's going on in the back of every room I'm performing in.

People could be in the kitchen right now making sweet, sweet love And I would have no clue Especially if it was, like, super slow like I like won't be able to hear him.

So join us up here talking.

This woman is having a heart attack.

I'm watching your have a heart attack.

But I'm also thinking, like what?

Joke?

Something in itself, right?

And then And ambulance comes very quickly, almost as if they knew there was, like a gathering of old.

And they just, like, parked on the corner.

So they Russian whenever it's an ambulance that drives around it.

If it seems like eight or more old people gather in one spot, it waits there for 10 minutes because they know they know something's going to go down.

Got her a garage sale.

Oh, how did that just happen?

Did you hear that?

No.

Oh, someone just tried to call and I went to my computer anyway, So the ambulance comes very quickly.

They Russian?

They put this woman on a stretcher because it was a heart attack.

But it was like a low key heart attack.

She fell out of her chair and her husband was worried.

But as they're wheeling her out past our table towards the door, she looks at us and she says, I'm so sorry.

I'm fine.

I'm so sorry.

Which, like, might be the epitome of being a woman.

She's like, I'm sorry I interrupted with a heart attack.

I'm happy to die.

If that helps, I really will.

I'll go die.

So this is when they have her outside the door.

And just then Joanna Kerns leans into the microphone and she says, Who's ready for some stand up comedy?

And I'm in the back of the room like So I get up.

I'm weaving my way through the tables and my dumb skirt.

The woman whose planned the event intercepts me.

She puts her hand on my shoulder.

She's panicked and she's like, I don't know, maybe you should do less time like five minutes or something.

I was like, Lady, I'm doing 15 you know.

So I get up there in front of everyone felt like I really needed to address the situation you had.

Someone just had a heart attack, right?

Right, right.

So I get up in front of everybody and I just say, Wow, I've done a lot of things to get out of donating money, but never that not everybody laughed.

You know, it took It was it was potentially while it was potentially too soon.

My dad, however very proud I bombed the Planned Parenthood.

And if he had been, there would have been so happy.

You know, I think I I don't know if I could top that, but I have something that was equally rough where I did a benefit.

And it was, you know, for people in the military.

And so the whole audience was packed with, you know, people who had served in the military very recently and and come back from Afghanistan or Iraq.

And it was it was intense.

They showed this really intense film.

Then an honor guard came out and they said, Now we remember our fallen brothers and they played taps on a bugle.

And then right after they finished playing taps of a voice on the microphone said, Ladies and gentlemen, Conan O'Brien e just walked out there.

People are crying.

Their heads were bowed way.

Need time between that?

Yes and Mr Goofy You need something a something a little light, something a little.

Someone comes out with a harmonica and plays Monica.

You know, I'm gonna pitch jock jams.

You know, just confuse the room with some high energy jock jams.

You really think that's a punch up the jam?

Pump it up.

Yeah, just blow out the room with some hot Tim's.

No, you can't follow tax with Jock Jam.
