Pros and cons of living in St. Louis vs L.A...

St. Louis pros--less traffic.

Less people who are k-uh.

- Less anxiety. - Throw Chris on there.

Cons, um...

I feel removed from show business.

I miss a lot of my friends.

I can't get onstage every single night.

I don't even think about L.A. right now.

- Think about it right now. - Okay.

- What are you thinking? - Like, dirty streets.

Okay. Con.

[rock music]

[car horn honks] - Oh,----.

Ooh.

I don't know why I'm trying to, like, drive

like someone's tailing me and I have to, like, lose them.

So I finally went to therapy with Chris,

which is, like,------. - Good.

I was so excited and nearly cried at his willingness.

Marriage--

like, those are things that I've been definitely reluctant.

But I'm not closed off to it like I was.

Like, where are you feeling right now you guys stand...

- Well, it was so good. - Literally today?

He's, like, emotionally open and going to places

that he never could even go alone with me before.

But I want commitment,

and I want to know where we're going,

where we're headed, what the goal is.

I hate this limbo. - Yeah.

Do you think that you can imagine

yourself staying here without Chris?

If Chris and I don't work out

for some------- reason, I'll probably want to leave,

because this town reminds me of him so much.

As much as I want to just take control right now and be like,

"Chris, be my boyfriend, come on,"

I want to be wanted and I really,

really want him to define the relationship.

Like, it's weird with you and Chris because it literally

is putting on the line, like, whether you stay

in St. Louis or you go somewhere else,

whether it works out here.

So it's like, I kind of want it to work out with you guys.

I want so badly to be able to say, like,

"Let's just------- do it and get married.

"We've been doing this off and on for eight years.

Like, what are we doing?" - Seriously.

If he can't do that, I'm not gonna stay in St. Louis.

I don't want to have to see his charming, gorgeous face

pop up on my Bumble as, like, a top pick for me.

And I'm like, "You're right, Bumble.

He was, but he didn't want what I wanted."

You know we're building, like, a sex dungeon

in his basement, perhaps?

- [laughing] A dungeon. - Yeah.

I know, people are being like,

"Should we have kids and buy a house?"

And I'm like, "Should I buy this chain restraint

that costs $1,000 if he's not gonna commit first?"

Like, it's so stupid. - Oh, my God.

What up, dogs? How you doing?

- What's up? - What's that?

- This is a gift. - Babe, what?

- This is your own label maker. - Aw.

You said you wanted to borrow mine,

and even though I love a world

where you always need my label maker,

I just thought you'd like this. - Oh, my God.

Will you set it up for me? - Of course.

Andrew, do you have anything you want to label?

Everything. - Man, I love labeling things!

Everything but relationship status.

Hey-oh.

How many leopard things do you have?

This is my suitcase from last week,

and I'm just going through

and seeing if these things will hold up in L.A.

I'm headed to L.A. to do some work, as I do frequently.

What are you doing in L.A., other than our show?

Deciding if I'm gonna move there or not?

You know, the whole time,

I'm gonna be having that in the back of my mind.

As much as I love St. Louis,

as someone who kind of wants to slow down,

there are things I really miss about L.A., and I'm torn.

[sniffs] Keep.

[sniffs]

How do you check if underwear is clean or not for you?

Do you smell yours? - Oh, my God.

[whines]

Luigi, I wish you could come. I want you to go with me.

Being in L.A. is beneficial to me for my career,

because you're not a flight away.

You're within driving distance.

And although those take the same amount of time

to get there because of traffic,

when you're in L.A., people think of you more

for different jobs.

Oh, Lu.

Why do you look at me with such curiosity and disdain

at the same time?

Do we need to go to therapy? [smooching]

[dog barks]

Oh, Marion's eye gunk--ew.

Why do you have it on your wrist?

It just got on my finger.

We need to clean her eyes every day.

- It's contagious. - Oh, come here, Marion.

Let's get your eye gunk.

She says, "I don't want to touch that."

Dirty girl, girl, come here. There you go.

Oh, that's so gunky.

I remember one time

I was over at a famous friend's house,

and Emma Stone came by, and I didn't know Emma Stone,

and she walks in the door.

I'm like, "Oh, my God, it's Emma."

And Marion is on my lap.

And Emma doesn't even see me.

She just looks at the dog and goes,

"Oh, my God, is she 100?"

And I was like, "She's two."

And she was like, "That's insane."

That's what I love about Marion--

is that she is so ugly that she's cute.

♪

She looks like a starving polar bear.

So what do you got planned in L.A.?

I'm gonna do a couple spots around town,

maybe Comedy Store, Laugh Factory,

dinner with Spade, Kelly Clarkson.

Kelly?

- Machine Gun Kelly. - Machine Gun Kelly Clarkson.

[laughter]

There's more action on both coasts

than there is in St. Louis.

But she's in the middle of the country.

But right now she might miss some of the other,

more exciting parts of her career.

I think she's torn.

Hanging out with Lizzie,

hopefully hanging out with Carlisle.

I sure would miss Nikki if she decided to move to L.A.

I would, too.

Well, it sounds like a whirlwind time.

I mean, it's going to be exhaustive, but it'll be fun.

When she's home, she's like, "Oh, I need to get out to L.A."

And when she's in L.A.,

she probably feels like she's missing something,

like us. [both laughing]

Just kiddi--just kidding.

So how long will you be gone? Just for--

Um...

I think I come back on Sunday. - Okay.

Get some nice meals for yourselves.

Take yourselves out. - We're gonna--livin' large.

Go get a massage. Go treat yourselves.

I'll pay for it.

I might if I found a good deal.

No, it doesn't need to be a good deal.

- If I find a Groupon for it. - No.

You've never once bought yourself a massage.

You only get them as presents. - That's not true at all.

Have I? - No. Never.

- Sure you have. - Yeah, I have.

When?

It was about two years ago, and it was...

- A deal. - A deal.

Find me a massage parlor, okay?

- Pfft, God. - You're not getting anything.

You're getting zero Gs. [laughter]

[upbeat music]

Yes. Cali, baby.

♪

You ready to do this? - Yeah.

Welcome to L.A.

One thing I love about being in L.A.

is that I'm constantly in motion.

I'm doing the Kelly Clarkson Show.

I'm doing an appearance

on my friend Ben Gleib's live fundraiser.

Yeah, someone said, from behind, I look like a model,

and then I turn around, they go, "Oh, no, she's a comedian."

And so that hurt my feelings a lot.

And I'm trying to get a show off the ground.

My friend, Bill Lawrence-- he created "Spin City,"

"Scrubs," "Ted Lasso."

I get to work with almost whoever I want to, right?

And yet, still, even for me,

there's certain people that are elusive.

George Clooney--

I've always wanted to actually work with him.

Also can't seem to make working with Nikki Glaser happen.

So it's like-- - [laughs]

I have something in common with Clooney?

Do you think, though, that the project

that we're kind of talking about--

Do I think it'll happen if you live in St. Louis?

- Yeah. - I always tell people,

if you're thinking about diving into something,

diving into a show, diving into a movie, okay?

Your career is at a place,

as long as you don't get caught in the permanence of it,

right now you can live in St. Louis.

- Yeah. - Everybody out here

puts this feeling of permanence on it.

It's like, "I don't know--what if my whole life's ruined?"

I'm like, "Well, then you sell your place and move back.

Yeah, what are you doing?"

The project I'm working on with Bill

is one that my friend Jamie Lee,

who is a writer on "Ted Lasso," came up with.

And I can't go into details,

but it involves her and I as the stars of this show.

I'm not gonna not do this show with you

'cause you live in St. Louis, 'cause I know you'll move back

when you have to. - Yes.

I've never done scripted entertainment before,

but because Bill Lawrence believes in me,

I'm just like, "I must be good enough,"

because he knows better than I do--I know that.

As long as you accept

that in the inevitable peaks and valleys of your career,

in the peaks, you can be wherever you want,

and in the valleys, you have to be here

and do whatever you want. - Okay.

- Does that make sense? - Yeah.

It means a lot to me, and I really--

I cherish our friendship.

And even though I really appreciate having you

in my life, I'm not going to St. Louis.

I'm not going to St. Louis, no matter what.

Thank you, Bill.

I want it all.

Career, dogs.

- Birds. - Birds.

Kids. Husband.

Friends.

- Actually, do two of those. - I'm gonna do shishitos.

America's favorite Midwest comic.

It's a niche, but... - [laughs]

We want you here. We want you here.

I used to only hang out with comedians

every single night of my life for the past 17 years.

So, until I moved back to St. Louis,

that was all I knew.

Yeah, you should be out here, mostly to hang out, but also...

Actually, no other reason. [laughter]

But as much as I love seeing my friends and, like,

getting a lot of work done and feeling productive,

there's a part of me that's missing being at home

in a way that I haven't felt before.

Okay, I feel like most people in sha-biz

are, like, kind of unhappy.

But I'm serious when I say that you're one

of the most even-keeled people I know.

Do you think that's because you are single?

Well, it's always "grass is greener" syndrome.

Yeah.

Some people are bluffing it when they're happy,

and it's all for those photos and you just watch them fight,

and you go, "Goddamn, they hate each other."

But I think being single is hard to switch and be married.

And I think being married,

the idea of being single is very tough.

You're right.

Because they go, "What am I gonna do--

go to clubs every night?"

I'm starting to think the grass is browner.

- [laughing] - That's hilarious.

I run into, where guys are like,

"It's whatever you want it to be."

And I'm like, "No, no, no. I want you to want me."

'Cause with my ex-boyfriend, he's like,

"All right, cool, whatever you want."

And I'm like, "I want you to be the one to be like,

'Be my girlfriend.'"

It scares me that Chris is never definitive

about what he wants.

When we were together in L.A., he still kept

his apartment just in case things didn't work out.

And then we broke up.

You don't want to be a shoulder shrugger.

I don't want a guy that's just like, "I mean, yeah."

Shortly after that breakup,

I had to leave town

because I just needed, like, start anew.

So there is something about commitment that makes

the other person,

whether it's your leasing company or your girlfriend,

feel safe.

How do you feel about feelings, being asked by your feelings?

I don't even like the question.

[laughing]

[upbeat music]

This is what I used to do as a kid.

I even knew as a kid that I needed to keep my face young.

You know how I would lay out, honestly?

If I was, like, in Miami or something

and I had to take my shirt off,

I would lay on my stomach for, like, 95% of the time.

Wait, do you still leave on your shirt with Brenna?

I don't know. Lately, I haven't been thrilled with my body.

I'm like, "Let's do candlelight for the shower."

And you only want to have sex in the shower

'cause it's dimmer light in there?

I don't know.

Who likes to have sex in the bright daylight?

Yeah, the other night Chris filmed us

doing some stuff, and I was like,

"I don't want to see that side of myself."

And then I saw it, and I was like, "That's me?

That's my best side."

I was like, "Now when people are like,

'Which side do you want to stand on?'

I'll just bend over and spread my cheeks."

- [chuckles] - I'm gonna call Chris.

Please don't mention it.

I don't want him knowing that I told you that.

I was gonna talk about it. [laughs]

[line trilling]

Hi.

[laughing] What are you doing?

I'm laying out. It's Cali, baby.

Yeah, you are. Oh man.

It's like a 1950s swimsuit.

Like, I'm, like, Marilyn Monroe style.

Yeah, you look like a pinup girl.

- Yes, that's right. Thank you. - And I like it.

It just went from, like, 70 degrees to, like, 55.

- Oh. Andrew's here. - How are you?

- I'm just yo-yo'ing. - Yeah, you are.

- I'm bringing it back. - Do you yo-yo?

- Do I yo-yo? - Have you yo-yo'd?

I want nothing to do with this yo-yo joke.

- [laughs] - I wish you were here.

You're so handsome.

You are. I mean, you know what I mean.

No, a woman can be handsome.

Okay, then you're handso--

Well, no, you're better than that.

Okay, thank you.

I do love Nikki.

And, like, when things are good, it's amazing.

It's the best. It's so much fun.

'cause you're such a cutie.

Yes! Mwah. - Don't do it.

Aw. Look at you.

You can try now--I'll get really close to the camera.

Mmm-wah!

and we were wrong.

Are we were wrong this time?

Hi, guys, how are you?

When I used to live in L.A.

and was doing multiple spots every single night,

I loved it.

It was the dream.

My vagina collects toilet paper,

like, more than the average.

Just finely rolled joints, like, the most--

Like, I'm so impressed

with how perfectly they're rolled.

I'm like, "Is my pussy the Wu-Tang Clan?"

When I first started comedy, I remember one night

I was onstage, and they kept yelling to take my shirt off.

Before I go on a date, I, like, scour it.

Like, I'll go page by page, and I'll try to--

Sometimes I don't get through it all.

And I ended up running offstage,

and I hid in the storage closet and called my mom crying

while sitting on a, you know, a gigantic can of tomato paste.

Thank you very much. Thank you guys very much.

I have to go. Thank you guys very much.

That's my time. [cheers and applause]

Thank you.

But as good as I feel right now,

it's never going to be as satisfying

as being with people that, like, love you no matter what,

which is what I have in St. Louis.

I cannot go back to this life.

But I need Chris to actually pursue our relationship
