@TheComedyCouch
My first question is for the gorgeous Fielding, how do you balance your comedy career and being a mom

I I guess there is no balancing. I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown, maybe every second. But I don't know. I think sometimes I just pretend I'm not a mother and just have my husband has been taker and then do what I do. But it's a great question. I don't even know that I have an answer for you. I don't know, in a gentle Gray out most of the time, but ipads are very helpful. Ipads are extremely helpful

Jay, I know you love to write comedy. What gives you more pleasure writing comedy or performing live

My favorite part about this is I'm doing this in my pajamas. Don't have to put a camera on, don't have to put makeup on. My husband calls this particular outfit or pair of pajamas. I'm wearing my prison outfit because they are stripy and look like I should be in prison. And I probably should be for a few things. But don't tell the American government because they gave me a green card

Fielding, I was actually thinking of getting my three year old her own phone and Anthony was aghast. But she's on my phone 8 hours a day anyway. Why not let her have her own phone? What are your thoughts on that

@twodopeminutes

Performing live is so much scarier than sitting in my pajamas writing dumb D*** jokes, which is so much safer. But I do get more of a thrill from being out on that high wire, either failing or doing well with a joke. Live. Nothing like it

@zakeeyapatel

Zakia loved your bit. Also love your voice for audio girl, you got to read do some audio books. My question for you, Zakia, is how hard is it from coming from another country to America and trying to have your comedy translate

I don't know if I can stick to it, but we just have to have goals. We just have to to hey, let's just make a play day for our kids, and they can just emotionally scissor each other in my backyard. Okay? That's what I have to say about that

I've actually, because I'm not doing a podcast. Like, what am I going to do, a podcast about my Duvet cover? I'm out of ideas. But what if we do what if we have our kids do a podcast and we just, like, let them discuss events sense. I mean, would that be the most Scintillating or the most boring? Oh, God. I've turned into that mom where I think my child's interesting. Okay, I apologize

Okay, you guys, when you respond to someone's comment, give them an at in the title of your post. This is a learning curve, and we're learning as we go. But if you're responding to Fielding put at fielding, if you're responding to J right at

@fieldingedlow

Fielding my question for you is do you participate in any of the crazy PTA shenanigans at school
@fieldingedlow
Fielding Edlow
@fieldingedlow · 0:30

@TwoDopeMinutes

I know I'm supposed to do an at somebody. And I, you know, I went to an Ivy League school the same as Lesley. And I am so technologically backwards. Okay, I'm answering the scissoring question. And what that means is just gentle, safe play, I think. But I'll have you guys know that I recently overheard my kids say when she was doing imaginative play by herself. Hey, I can't do a tea party right now

Hey, Leslie. So I participate in PTA activities if it can directly help my career. Otherwise, no, I am not f****** doing any of that s***. I've spent many, many years volunteering and doing all that extra bullshit. And you know what? It kind of got me nowhere. So I'm unabashedly self serving right now. So I'll do a stand up show for the school community

@TheComedyCouch

@fieldingedlow

Obviously, we think our child is stars. I think that's a brilliant idea. I actually wanted to do a toddler news show. So let's get into production ASAP
@TheComedyCouch

@PatriciaCanale

Patricia Canale. I love your bit about cutting kids hairs. Why am I speaking? I'm not even articulating properly. Listen to me, Patricia. Our kids are not letting us do anything to them. And please believe that it's true. They will not let us touch their hair. They will not go to bed. They won't eat vegetables. They won't do anything. Help? Yes. This is a cry for help
@TheComedyCouch
If any listeners have any questions for our comics, feel free to speak up. We're here for it

What about a Kid? S show on Swell, where they are cutting hair of adults

You're going to get a cupcake after it. If you got to make it a reward thing. Fine, but you can't let your kid look like a street urchin. All right. And a story. I stand by my earlier posts

@TwoDopeMinutes #comedian

And so for the last year, I've actually just been a sexy housewife or not really so sexy. And my jailbird pajamas. And then comedy is something I've always wanted to do. So to keep myself sane. I started writing sort of more storytelling in the way I explained it and told it. But I guess it was and it is comedy. I mean, the exact same course you do is what I was slowly starting to do

I think that's brilliant. Let's do a kids hair cutting show on Swell because let them f*** up publicly. My kid just cut her own bangs. So she looks like some weird version of riot slash, white nationalist cashier at Walmart. I don't know what is happening, but I'm all in, and I'm sorry. I'm not at anyone specific. I'm trying to keep my s*** together over here

Can there be scissoring in said Chau
@fieldingedlow
Fielding Edlow
@fieldingedlow · 0:12
So I'm gonna be honest. I was gay for a month. And I love to just talk about scissoring. And then my husband says, you know, there's no such thing as scissoring. I'll leave you with that
@PatriciaCanale
Patricia Canale
@PatriciaCanale · 0:31
But if the kid cuts their hair to write a passage, all right, don't freak out if she looks like Dolores Reardon from the cranberries. It's all good. Yeah

@TheComedyCouch

@GivingVoice

Okay, Deborah Pardes, I went to Pavilions to get probably some Panda because that's how I do. And I came home and Abby had cut her entire bangs off down to the root. And let me tell you this, it is traumatizing. I will the however, do a show where they do movie reviews. Are you into movie reviews

@PatriciaCanale · 0:30
I know it's super traumatizing to see your kid cut off the bank, but I'm going to tell you a story. When I was growing up, I thought that it was a good idea to put some Aerosol rave Hairspray at the same time that I was blow drying my hair because I had to have the rake in the front of the hair. Okay, it lit on fire and singed off my bangs? So you live and learn. I'm just saying

@DBPardes
Deborah Pardes
@DBPardes · 0:35

The name of the movie is ______

I like movie reviews and we need them. But I think given the fact that everyone here is in the biz, we should make a movie. And it's about young girls who are really excited about becoming, you know, salon Queens. And they're very into cutting hair. But they also like Scissoring. So they bring this sort of double entendre to the whole career of Scissoring and cutting hair. And we get the PTA involved. It's going to be good. I'm excited
@TheComedyCouch

@DBPardes@fieldingedlow@JaysonShore

You guys stand down. This is a family show

@lesleywolff

I think that's an interesting idea. But how about we create a movie about little girls who cut their hair and have a pageant on who's the worst haircut. So it's this take on creativity and who cut their hair the worst. And whoever is the worst haircut, they get the Crown. What do you think about that

Okay, Deb the name of the show is that's a cut
@TheComedyCouch

See you next week!

Well, it's nearing that 1030 time. So I want to thank all my comics for dropping in having a cup of coffee and talking comedy. Of course, you can keep leaving your swells and asking questions. And we'll check back in. But that's a wrap for session two. And we'll see you on Friday. Friday for session three. Look forward to it. Yeah

This was such a blast. I hope we can all meet up later at a socially distanced, outdoor patio. Spring fling. Mardi Gras. Just emotionally scissoring group. Okay, I'm just going to say this was really fun. Thank you. Signing off. Leslie, you're the best
