1
00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:00.893
- You're going on tour?

2
00:00:00.893 --> 00:00:01.726
- Yeah.

3
00:00:01.726 --> 00:00:02.559
- With the new live show.

4
00:00:02.559 --> 00:00:03.392
- Yeah.

5
00:00:03.392 --> 00:00:04.225
- Called "Your Favorite Woman".

6
00:00:04.225 --> 00:00:05.067
- [Samantha] Mmhmm.

7
00:00:05.067 --> 00:00:08.610
- Is, is there a, a specific
woman that is your favorite?

8
00:00:08.610 --> 00:00:11.100
- I'm just more hoping that
by the end of the tour,

9
00:00:11.100 --> 00:00:12.887
I'll be everyone's favorite woman.

10
00:00:12.887 --> 00:00:13.830
- [Interviewer] Oh, that's perfect.

11
00:00:13.830 --> 00:00:14.663
- We'll see.

12
00:00:14.663 --> 00:00:15.747
- You are everyone's favorite woman.

13
00:00:15.747 --> 00:00:17.730
- I don't think that's true.
That should not be true.

14
00:00:17.730 --> 00:00:19.810
It's okay. It's okay. I don't have to be.

15
00:00:19.810 --> 00:00:20.935
- I don't know, you're my president.

16
00:00:20.935 --> 00:00:21.768
- That's, thank you.

17
00:00:21.768 --> 00:00:22.601
- So that's fine.

18
00:00:22.601 --> 00:00:23.434
- Aw.

19
00:00:23.434 --> 00:00:26.017
(upbeat music)

20
00:00:27.150 --> 00:00:29.910
- So the tour summary says
"this show will celebrate

21
00:00:29.910 --> 00:00:32.970
the fact that women are fully
fucking cool despite what

22
00:00:32.970 --> 00:00:34.394
six Supreme Court justices,

23
00:00:34.394 --> 00:00:35.227
- Correct.

24
00:00:35.227 --> 00:00:37.608
- And her Instagram feed seem to think.

25
00:00:37.608 --> 00:00:38.610
- Mmhmm.

26
00:00:38.610 --> 00:00:41.408
- Um, what is on your Instagram feed?

27
00:00:41.408 --> 00:00:42.241
(laughs)

28
00:00:42.241 --> 00:00:46.980
- Oh my God. You know what? I definitely,

29
00:00:46.980 --> 00:00:49.890
I don't, I never read,
I never read comments.

30
00:00:49.890 --> 00:00:51.720
I'm like very scrupulous about it.

31
00:00:51.720 --> 00:00:53.760
And then one time I was
doing an Instagram live

32
00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:55.892
and I couldn't help it
cause there were so many.

33
00:00:55.892 --> 00:00:56.829
- They were right there.

34
00:00:56.829 --> 00:00:57.690
- [Samantha] They were just like, right.

35
00:00:57.690 --> 00:00:59.580
They were like bubbling across my face.

36
00:00:59.580 --> 00:01:02.079
And I was like, what are
people, I just like, what

37
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.350
what are people saying? That seems nice.

38
00:01:04.350 --> 00:01:05.700
And they're like, commenting in real time.

39
00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:07.560
And I was like, oh my God. Okay.

40
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:12.560
So there I was like, I shouldn't
read those ever anymore.

41
00:01:13.020 --> 00:01:14.970
- Actually, also, you famously

42
00:01:14.970 --> 00:01:18.119
set up the rape threat hotline.

43
00:01:18.119 --> 00:01:19.440
- Yes!

44
00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:21.420
- [Interviewer] Right
before "Full Frontal" aired.

45
00:01:21.420 --> 00:01:22.253
- We did.

46
00:01:22.253 --> 00:01:23.519
- For the trolls to call in,

47
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:24.352
- We did!

48
00:01:24.352 --> 00:01:25.440
- to express their feelings.

49
00:01:25.440 --> 00:01:27.228
- We provided them with a 1-800 number.

50
00:01:27.228 --> 00:01:29.520
- [Interviewer] Did, did
you ever check that voice?

51
00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:30.353
- [Samantha] Of course.

52
00:01:30.353 --> 00:01:31.186
- You did?

53
00:01:31.186 --> 00:01:32.190
- Yeah, we did get some.

54
00:01:32.190 --> 00:01:33.023
- [Interviewer] Really?

55
00:01:33.023 --> 00:01:35.130
- Yeah, we got a lot of, a lot of people

56
00:01:35.130 --> 00:01:39.570
called our threat hotline
and were like, is this real?

57
00:01:39.570 --> 00:01:42.300
And they were like, oh my
God, I think it's real.

58
00:01:42.300 --> 00:01:44.430
Are you recording my voi-?
There was like a lot of that.

59
00:01:44.430 --> 00:01:46.541
But then there were also like the usual,

60
00:01:46.541 --> 00:01:47.374
- Mmhmm.

61
00:01:47.374 --> 00:01:48.300
- You know.

62
00:01:48.300 --> 00:01:50.400
- Threats, because woman in comedy.

63
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:52.230
- [Samantha] Yeah. Of course.

64
00:01:52.230 --> 00:01:54.620
- So you also recently
tweeted at Nikki Haley,

65
00:01:54.620 --> 00:01:55.453
- [Samantha] Yeah.

66
00:01:55.453 --> 00:01:56.670
- [Interviewer] and you invited her

67
00:01:56.670 --> 00:01:58.525
to your show with two free tickets.

68
00:01:58.525 --> 00:01:59.358
(laughing)

69
00:01:59.358 --> 00:02:02.610
- Well, because she's running
her own town, and she's like,

70
00:02:02.610 --> 00:02:04.567
she's doing all these town
halls, and she's like,

71
00:02:04.567 --> 00:02:07.650
"My dad never signed a permission
slip for me to get sex ed

72
00:02:07.650 --> 00:02:10.830
in seventh grade." And
everybody's like, hooray!

73
00:02:10.830 --> 00:02:13.560
Let's never learn anything
about our fucking bodies.

74
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:15.900
And I was like, okay. I
just feel like it would be

75
00:02:15.900 --> 00:02:19.373
really funny to tweet out, we had like,

76
00:02:19.373 --> 00:02:21.277
once it gets something
like, you know, like

77
00:02:21.277 --> 00:02:23.910
"oh great, another
presidential candidate who

78
00:02:23.910 --> 00:02:25.302
doesn't know how many holes she has".

79
00:02:25.302 --> 00:02:26.135
(laughing)

80
00:02:26.135 --> 00:02:28.560
And then I was like, I
can't, shouldn't tweet that.

81
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.980
- I mean, you've reported on so many,

82
00:02:31.980 --> 00:02:34.620
like, horrible abortion laws,

83
00:02:34.620 --> 00:02:35.654
- [Samantha] Sure.

84
00:02:35.654 --> 00:02:36.719
and just laws against reproductive rights.

85
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:37.770
- [Samantha] Yeah.

86
00:02:37.770 --> 00:02:41.280
- Were you surprised when
Roe v Wade was overturned?

87
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.800
Or did you feel it all
building up to something?

88
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:45.840
- I definitely, we felt it building,

89
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:49.050
like it just was momentum.
You just felt it.

90
00:02:49.050 --> 00:02:52.500
And we were talking about
it since the beginning

91
00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:54.210
of "Full Frontal." We
were saying it was going

92
00:02:54.210 --> 00:02:57.060
to be overturned, but, you don't want to,

93
00:02:57.060 --> 00:02:58.920
you don't want your
like terrible prediction

94
00:02:58.920 --> 00:03:01.140
to, to come to pass. But
it wasn't like a prediction

95
00:03:01.140 --> 00:03:05.823
as much as like reading the
signs. They were all there.

96
00:03:07.410 --> 00:03:10.470
It wasn't like a pleasure to
be right about that at all.

97
00:03:10.470 --> 00:03:12.450
It was, it's been devastating. I mean,

98
00:03:12.450 --> 00:03:14.790
obviously devastating. Devastating.

99
00:03:14.790 --> 00:03:16.620
- What can we expect from the show?

100
00:03:16.620 --> 00:03:18.870
Like if Nikki Haley was
there, what would you?

101
00:03:18.870 --> 00:03:21.090
- Well, hopefully she would like learn

102
00:03:21.090 --> 00:03:22.260
something about her body.

103
00:03:22.260 --> 00:03:25.530
I feel like, okay. So
it's been, so there's this

104
00:03:25.530 --> 00:03:27.990
confluence of things happening
in the world right now.

105
00:03:27.990 --> 00:03:29.730
It's feeling super treacherous to me.

106
00:03:29.730 --> 00:03:32.640
It feels super treacherous
to be a woman. I think.

107
00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:34.697
- I think she should feel
treacherous to everyone.

108
00:03:34.697 --> 00:03:36.540
- Mm. It should feel
treacherous to everyone,

109
00:03:36.540 --> 00:03:41.540
but I feel like a real strong
feeling, strong backlash

110
00:03:41.610 --> 00:03:44.040
against women vibes out in the world.

111
00:03:44.040 --> 00:03:47.190
I'm not making that up in my
own head. I know it's real.

112
00:03:47.190 --> 00:03:51.750
And so I wanted to do a show
to just do some myth busting.

113
00:03:51.750 --> 00:03:56.070
I kind of have, I really feel
like we just don't have the,

114
00:03:56.070 --> 00:03:59.970
a proper education about
a woman's life and body.

115
00:03:59.970 --> 00:04:02.580
I feel like we're starting
from a place of learning

116
00:04:02.580 --> 00:04:04.020
almost nothing about our bodies.

117
00:04:04.020 --> 00:04:06.930
And then we kind of go
through life knowing nothing

118
00:04:06.930 --> 00:04:09.283
and we just have this big hole for like

119
00:04:09.283 --> 00:04:14.100
misinformation to fill, and
it re-, it causes us to have

120
00:04:14.100 --> 00:04:16.140
so many bad laws passed against us,

121
00:04:16.140 --> 00:04:17.880
to have so much bad public policy

122
00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:20.430
because nobody really
knows anything about us,

123
00:04:20.430 --> 00:04:22.119
and we don't even know about ourselves.

124
00:04:22.119 --> 00:04:22.952
- Mmhmm.

125
00:04:22.952 --> 00:04:25.050
- [Samantha] I hit
perimenopause and I was like

126
00:04:25.050 --> 00:04:27.600
what the fuck is, what's this?

127
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:29.120
I never heard about this before.

128
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:30.710
- I, I don't know what that is.

129
00:04:30.710 --> 00:04:32.790
- [Samantha] So many things
happen in our bodies that

130
00:04:32.790 --> 00:04:36.570
are like a shock to us.
And I think that's insanity

131
00:04:36.570 --> 00:04:38.580
and leads to very bad decision making.

132
00:04:38.580 --> 00:04:41.610
And so I'm exploring that with the show.

133
00:04:41.610 --> 00:04:44.730
And it's also just like fun
and pretty stupid and funny,

134
00:04:44.730 --> 00:04:47.019
and personal and like, (beep) it.

135
00:04:47.019 --> 00:04:49.602
(upbeat music)
