• Stories of bringing her siblings to events like the Emmys, celebrating together (“...my circumstances have changed!”).

Transcript

[Amanda Hirsch]

The following podcast is a Dear media production. Welcome back to the Not Skinny but Not Fat podcast. I'm your host, Amanda Hirsch, and I still can't believe that I get to chat with some of my favorite stars on my very own podcast, where you'll feel like you're just talking shit with your best friends in your living room.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Hi, guys.

[Amanda Hirsch]

Happy Tuesday. Welcome back to Not Skinny but Not Fat. You guys, this morning started roof, roof, roof. Because listen, this summer house reunion clips that were. That were leaked, I'm first of all, like, I'm such a narc. I'm like, who leaked it? You know, Like, I don't know anybody in my life that wants this information early.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You know, like, we.

[Amanda Hirsch]

I barely want to watch, like, movie trailers anymore. I want to watch the thing, you know, so, like, don't ruin it for me. But who on set was like, let me record this and let me release it.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Who?

[Amanda Hirsch]

Like, I. That's what I care about more than watching, like, Sierra obliterate Amanda and Wes. Like, I swear to God, I want to know who did this and why. What's in it for you? I saw their rumors that are saying it was Wes and I'm like, that would be psycho.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

That would be psycho of him.

[Amanda Hirsch]

Also, it's not going to look good for him no matter how he twists it. You guys know I have really middle of the line takes. I do always try to see both sides. I'm not going to call myself an empath because I get fucking burned when I do that, but I will say, like, yes, I'm an empath. I feel for Amanda and West, who are the most hated people in America right now. Because at the end of the day, no matter how you twist it, turn it, say, it's disgusting, messy, awful, like, all the words, nobody killed anyone. Even in this situation, nobody cheated. I know some people think maybe Amanda and West started earlier, but as of right now, nobody cheated. And by the way, if Amanda did cheat on Kyle, it really wouldn't be

[Interviewer/Co-host]

the end of the world because he

[Amanda Hirsch]

cheated on her 1000 million times. But so let's say nobody cheated, right? So it's just a friend doing a up, like, unforgivable thing to a friend. And at the end of the day, like, we all know how much Sierra loved Wes. We know she couldn't talk about him without tearing up, like, I. My pain for her pain when she literally can look at this man without tears in her eyes because of her love for him. So that makes it even wilder for Amanda to do what she did. And you know, in the, in the, in the leaked clip, like Amanda says, like, you can't help who you like. And Sierra was like, yeah, you can. And it is true, like, that west shouldn't have even been like a smidge of an option for her. And it might have sounded like from the leaked clips, like maybe it did start as like a drunken thing and then progress. But, like, this is what I know for sure. You know, they will not stay together, they will not get married, they will not have babies. What Mia said in the leaked things in the leaked audio, that was like, you went from being married to being one of west side bitches. Like, that is true. That is the truest statement that I've heard so far. Like, why Amanda? Why? Like, you're. He's not gonna change for you.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Like, look what he put Sierra through.

[Amanda Hirsch]

But I might. So this is where my, like, in good measure, level headedness, in my opinion, comes through. I can. With the same beat as saying, this is awful up disgusting, Like, Team Sierra, all of that. I can also say Sierra and Wes weren't together for two years. Wes ended it horribly. She hated him after because he went on interviews saying, I never really fucking liked her. She wasn't really my girlfriend. Makes it more disgusting that they probably flirted after. Maybe they even hooked up after. That could be a very big possibility. However, in terms of like, dated, it's been, you know, two years. And also we saw how little it meant to him, but how much it meant to her. However, this isn't Scandal. I saw Sierra and Ariana team up. Women scolded, taking over the world. Love to see it. However, it's not the same situation. Sandoval was fucking, you know, making embryos with Ariana. Okay, so don't. That annoys me. Like, don't take it to that level. And I think that's why, like, west is getting so confused and thinking he can go in defensive, he can go in clearing timelines because he really, I feel like, wants to shake up America and be like, you guys, we were in together. Like, this isn't what, what you're making it out to be. However, like, everyone's fully aware, I believe, of what it is. We are conflating it with a scandal. And it shouldn't be the reason we're conflating it with the scandal. It's because it's a big reality TV scandal. And you know, Ariana was a woman scolded who then, like went to her career, blew up, you guys. And that is the truth. I need you to face the truth. Ariana, before Scandal, was a side character of Vanderpump Rules. Nobody fudgeing carriage. She said it her herself. Okay. Of course you're given an opportunity you season, you show the world what you can do. But the opportunities she got came from her, you know, blowing up after the scandal. I don't know when this became a thing in America where it's like when you get hurt people, you become really famous. Like, I, I, I, I'm trying to like, just psychoanalyze it. Like, it means like, you're hot and then everyone wants a fucking piece. Everyone wants a piece. Eyes are on you. Engagement is at a all time high. Tierra just got signed on for Dancing with the Stars and she's the biggest deal to be on Dancing with the Stars. Like, not only is she on Dancing with the Stars, like, let's say, you know, that's like a great accomplishment. But that was the announcement. That was like the.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Whoa.

[Amanda Hirsch]

You know what I mean? Like, so what I'm saying is, like, Sierra's having, oh my God, the best fucking moment of her life right now. Like, she doubled in followers, she's getting opportunities that are insane and she will continue to get those. Like Andy said, she's the most beautiful person on Bravo. These people fucked her over. But these people are like, in the gutter. Like, I just don't feel we need to be like, rubbing that much salt on the wound. Like, they are wounded animals. They are not coming back from this, in my opinion. And they're going to be dogged on in the reunion. They're going to be dogged on online. And it's just like, I don't know how much like people can take where like the other person like, got hurt. But now they're doing very well. So I don't know, I just, that's my, like, that's my only qualm with it. Internet can get very intense and everyone's like, well, they deserve it. I don't know. I don't know that they deserve it from the world. They can deserve it. If you up, you know, and in, in your own life and you get from the person you did it to or, but like from the world for people to like, act like they murdered someone that I can't take. Even if it's like so disgusting, so cringy, so gross, so unforgivable. I think we need to just. It's just too much. I literally can't take it. I literally can't take it. Like, I can't take it. And it's also wild. Like, I look back at Amanda, like, Amanda before this.

[Robbie Hoffman]

She.

[Amanda Hirsch]

I equate her to, like, an untouchable. Remember how I thought that about Blake Lively before the Blake Lively thing happened? That just goes to show you. We love to, like, turn on a woman on a woman, like, and turn her into, like, a. A social pariah if we can. And with the Alex and Alex stuff, too, it's like, don't we, like, didn't we want to stop pitting women against each other? I guess they pit themselves against each other, and then the Internet is taking sides. Taking sides. This is the hypocrisy of the world. Everyone's like, girls, girls.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

No.

[Amanda Hirsch]

You're like, people are dying to take sides, dying to take a woman down if she's down. Like, we haven't gone anywhere. We haven't progressed anywhere. So let's not pretend we did. I don't know what I'm on. I am on my period, as you know. Oh, my God. I didn't even, like, talk to you guys about the whole week that I had that I was in LA for Hulu's Get Real event, where I was hosting and. And interviewing all these reality stars from the Hulu verse and where I also announced the new Hulu show, Get Real. It's a show on Hulu that I'm hosting a few episodes, and it's also. You can. You can listen to it as a podcast, and it's basically like a talk show about all the Hulu reality shows, because there are a lot and there are a lot coming, coming. Like, all the stuff that was announced at Hulu.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Anyway.

[Amanda Hirsch]

Of course this.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

That.

[Amanda Hirsch]

All the stuff that was announced at the Hulu Get Real event, like, the girls with, like, Chloe Kardashian's friends. There's the new Dancing with the Stars pro. There is the Nader Sisters, Season 2 Mormons OC. I mean, the real, like, Hulu reality is just exploding, so we needed a place to talk about it all, and obviously, I'm so excited. It's a dream come true. I mean, I've always said, like, what I would want is my own talk show, and this is definitely a step in. In that direction. So super cool, super excited. Check it out. It's Get Real on Hulu. First episode is out, and. And it was just so cool and so exciting and so many moments. I might have to do a whole solo episode about, like, all the funny moments that I had with those crazy reality TV stars at that event, because, listen, Reality TV stars are a different animal. Like, they're not me and you, babes. They're not me and you. Let me tell you. Let me tell you. I'm gonna tell you also. Exciting news. The men could never. Hoodie had a revival moment when Lindsay wore it through the airport when she was being interviewed by tmz. And I was like, I'm not gonna make hoodies again. It's hot right now. There might be some sizes left of the hoodies and the mugs, which, by the way, those mugs are my favorite mugs to drink out of. But a baby tea is launching today at 10am Pacific Time. So 1pm Eastern. I'm wearing it right now. It's so flattering. It's so cute. It's so chic. So check my stories or link in my bio to get you one of those. Let's move on to today's episode. Today's episode. Because it's with a comedian that I think is so fucking funny. I love her. I love her wife. They're both so cute together. She's a fellow Jewess. She's hysterical, and she's Robbie Hoffman. So enjoy.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

No. And then the coffee people annoyed me because they looked at me crazy when I asked for honey. They looked at me crazy when I asked for half and half. I was like, do you have anything? And you know what he says to me?

[Amanda Hirsch]

We have high fat milk.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And I was like, what is that, right? I was like, are you trying to make me not want it? You know what I'm saying? Like, say whole milk, like, Right. Are you trying to tell me I'm fat? Like, if you choose this, it's a high fat.

[Robbie Hoffman]

You look great.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Thank you.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Not fat at all.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Not skinny, but not fat.

[Robbie Hoffman]

There we go.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

High fat. No, I hate them.

[Amanda Hirsch]

I'm never going back.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Look, what's going on?

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I was gonna ask if you're wearing

[Amanda Hirsch]

one of your good shirts for me or not.

[Robbie Hoffman]

You know what? This is a new good shirt.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

It's a good shirt.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah.

[Amanda Hirsch]

The flannel or the white, but.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Well, this I wear a lot. I have two good white shirts.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

This one, I buy, like, used shirts and then I. I have them tailored, shortened, a bit fancy.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

All.

[Robbie Hoffman]

All, like, literally, I could spend $15 on a shirt and as much tailoring it, but I'm going to wear it, so.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

So much more.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah. And you said you thrift all your stuff.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Everything is thrifted. Pretty much. Not. I don't thrift everything, but most stuff is thrifted.

[Amanda Hirsch]

I'm so excited you're here.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I'm so happy to be here.

[Amanda Hirsch]

I think you're so funny. I mean, obviously I'm not alone.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Everybody's on to you now.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Thank you.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

She's not an overnight success.

[Robbie Hoffman]

By the grace of God.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Best believe does that if people are like, oh, my God, overnight success, that annoys you.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Not at all. Whenever people come to me, I'm thrilled. Yeah, I'm thrilled we're doing the Joy in the World. Like, do you know what I mean? I feel like. Like with everything going on, it's like, I'm not going to be mad now. Me now. Thank God. But I've been doing all this for people to find me.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Wait, Robbie, what's the deal with your. Your name for presidential signs?

[Robbie Hoffman]

You've been saying so. It's actually yes, so. So there have been signs popping off, popping up around the nation. Robbie Hoffman for president. Which. Which I'm in no mood. But if I. I feel like if the signs are up, I might. Like, maybe I am called upon. Maybe it is like Moses. Like, why me, God? I'm in no mood. But they've already printed the sign.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Wait, is there a Robbie Hoffman running?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Turns out it turns out there is a bald fellow named Robbie Hoffman who is gung ho about. He's. Nobody has ever heard of him. Perhaps now his campaign is a little.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Oh, my. You helped the campaign.

[Robbie Hoffman]

And he's really early on the signs. I mean, nobody else is campaigning yet. 2026, he is Jan.1. He went hard.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And your fans found it. Like, people started sending it to you

[Robbie Hoffman]

and people, you know, I would run on things like noise pollution and, you know, just. That was so funny, motorcycles.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I thought maybe people were putting it up for you. Like, I know.

[Robbie Hoffman]

And then I'm like, oh, God, this is how Moses felt like it. Like, why me, God? I can't even. Like, I'm in no mood.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You know what cracked me up about

[Amanda Hirsch]

you that I feel is important for

[Interviewer/Co-host]

people to know is that when I reached out to you, usually, like, you know, you reach out through the PR or the. You talk to the person they send you, and you were like, no, it's. It's me. Hi. Are you really doing your own.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Like, yeah, I do a lot of my own stuff.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You do your own stuff because.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I don't know, nobody told, like, I. I was just set up. Nobody. People have all these, like, teams, you know.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

For Netflix I had. They give you. They help you with PR and stuff like that. But it's like, pretty much just Like Seth Meyers, like, do you want to do the show? I'm like, what dates do you have? Like, I, I just, nobody really told me that this is, I was always doing it myself. I mean, people and DM sometimes asked me to do a comedy show and I go, yeah, what time to go? Oh my God. You responded, I shall be there.

[Amanda Hirsch]

I love that.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I hope that doesn't change. But it might.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I hope it changes. Like, I am trying to sell out as soon as humanly possible. Like, I've been like, putting it out there, like Hollywood, like, I don't want to do all this.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I don't want to work this hard.

[Robbie Hoffman]

No, I don't want to be with the calendar. And I got to get my book out. I've had to go back to paper because Google Cal cannot get it together.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Wait, and you flying on row in row 53. Yeah. Why?

[Amanda Hirsch]

You're making money.

[Robbie Hoffman]

No, I know. You know what the thing is, is like, and by the way, no shade to row 53, amazing money. But here's the thing about growing up poor. So now that I'm doing theaters, sold out theaters. Thank you very much, New York, first stop at the tour. I can't thank you enough. So it's a very pretty penny. That night, however, I used to do clubs and, and in clubs, they pay your room and board. When you do the improv San Jose, God knows you're there, but let's say you're there. They, they give you a hotel that night. You know, it's at the, you know, holiday and express with the, you know, the, the, the dinner is included at your own risk. But when you do theaters, everything is like a la carte. They were explaining to me like, yeah, we make all this money, but if you even have a cheese plate in your green room, oh, you, you think it's yours.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Like, they're like, do you want cheese? Do you want. I'm like, sure, I'll take a banana. And then on the bill, they actually, and they upcharge it like a cheese plate. If you went and bought your own, maybe even the night, you know, maybe you, you'd have for one person a forty dollar cheese plate. But they'll give you like, they'll, they'll be like, it was $300. So because everything is a la carte, the flight isn't included. When I'm traveling alone, what do I care?

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You don't care.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I'm just on my book, I'm working on my material, I'm listening to my tunes, I'm in 53A, nobody bothers me. I don't ask for anything. The lady comes. Do you need anything? I need nothing. I have my water. I bring my own water. I'm fine. When I'm traveling with Gabby with my wife, that's when I splurge because I'm like. Then we're pressing play on the movie at the same time. Like it's a whole. It's an experience.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

It's an experience. Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

You know what I mean? I'm with her, but alone. I mean, now I can say I was at the Pod Hotel. People were like, are you staying here? I'm like, yeah, I moved to a much nicer hotel.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Gab comes in with the Pot Hotel in Brooklyn.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. There's the Pod I use. I stay at the Jane sometimes.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

So you're not. You're not fancying it up at the ballet?

[Robbie Hoffman]

I don't fancy it up on my dime.

[Amanda Hirsch]

I see what you're saying.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Other people pays. When. When the TV show puts me up. When hacks. Phenomenal.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

If you tell me telecardio, I don't need anything.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

If it's free, I'll take it.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You're low maintenance.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, I'm just like, I could sleep in a little twin bed pod. I. I'm. I'm just so cozy and I'm ready to work. I just. Yeah, but with Gab, that to me is now an experience.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You said you're in an inter class relationship.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Like, she can't.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

She's a first class girl.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. She's first class only.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

But also it's the point that, like, if you do see her at the back of the plane, people are like, gabs here. Like, it's kind of like.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And if they see you at the back of the plane, it makes sense.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Some. Like, sometimes I'm like unrecognizable. Like, I look like I have the ability to look so ugly and different than I do. Like, I, like, I can't even explain. Explain. Like my daily glow up is unbelievable. What a shower does for me. What like just fresh face does for me. Just a little water on the face.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

But I'll go to the airport looking like people are like, I think it's you, but is it you? But yeah, when they see Gab at the back of the plane, it's. It's kind of like when I first watched Comedians in Cars getting coffee. Jerry Seinfeld's hat on Silverman. Sarah Silverman.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

And you know, I was very poor and watching the show. And I'm in the middle of nowhere, Montreal, and freezing and watching this on my computer. And I was like. He pulls up and she's like, in an apartment. And I'm like, sarah Silverman's in an apartment. I'm like, how can I even dream? Like, what's the point of working so hard? It's like, I'm still gonna be there. Turns out she had the money not to be, and thank God she's not anymore. But it's like, people don't want to see gab in me necessarily. An economy, because it's like they want a dream.

[Amanda Hirsch]

Right?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Like. Like, why are we this. Like, we've been at it, They've seen us at it, and they're like, hard work does not pay off at all. Like, the American dream is that.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah, yeah. They want to pass you in first. They don't, you know.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, yeah. So, you know. But I. It's. It's. It was great. Listen. It's not great. And my seat also, like, it was the kind of seat that it went back, but it would slowly go forward again. I had to constantly keep on it.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Like, every five or ten minutes, I'd be like, I wonder if my seat's all the way back. And it wasn't like. You know what I mean? That is the difference, too.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Like, first class. You could get some help with that, probably.

[Robbie Hoffman]

First class, it's. It's unacceptable.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

But you know what's nice about you? Because it's kind of like when you go first class, you usually can't go back, but you're saying you have no problem. I go back, you go back. You can enjoy the experience and paying.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Listen, I'm the boy in my relationship. I pay a lot when somebody else is paying. It's unusual for me. I enjoy that.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah, it is nice. And you're right. There is the. There's the difference for the listener to know between your job puts you up, blah, blah, blah, and then them giving you a sum of money and you can split it up however you want to.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I'm splitting up. It's mine. My budget is nothing. They're like, wow, you don't. I don't need the cheese plate in the grill. I don't touch it. I thought they're just asking, like, I didn't know that we're being charged. Yeah, I don't. I don't touch the food.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

But that's interesting you're saying that to me. What is it called when a artist. Right, right. I am the type of girl who I don't know what to order when I'm at a restaurant.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

So asking me what my writer is, I'm like, I don't know. And I don't know what that says about me. You know what I mean? Like, no, I. I don't even know what I want. That's not fancy, you know.

[Robbie Hoffman]

No, exactly.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Water?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, I like water. I'll have a light beer and I'll like. I've had on my rider like a banana. Just in case I'm hungry, but I don't want a full meal before I work, before I. I'm running around stage for an hour. I like to eat after if I can. So I have gotten there and there's be like a bottle of water and a one single banana.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

One single banana. It was really your year this year.

[Robbie Hoffman]

There's been. There's been. Yeah.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

No, there's been. When it rains, it pours. Vibes.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. It's funny. It's like everybody. For the past 10 to 15 years, everybody's been say, it's like it's your year. It depends where you find me that you think it's the year.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

It's been like. It's like every time I go home and my old friends, like, from childhood or high school, like, it's so funny that they're like, you know, what's your break? Or like, this is your big. It's like I've not had one thing right. It really has just been a culmination of many bricks. Like I really am. It's been brick by brick, but each one feels amazing. Like, the first time I got a thousand dollars to write something was as amazing as.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Right.

[Robbie Hoffman]

You know, the first. Like, they were pivotal moments.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

So true.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Building this career.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

It's so true because people have that question, like, what. What was your.

[Amanda Hirsch]

Like, I made it moment?

[Interviewer/Co-host]

But it's so true that you have the. Like you had, you know, 200 views when before you had one. It feels like, amazing.

[Robbie Hoffman]

It feels amazing. And every step has felt amazing. And I think that the difference or something and this I learned from my brother Levy. We celebrate everything in my family. Like, because it was so, like, little. It's like you fucking did this. Like, let's say, like, you know, like, you know, people. I bought this watch the first time I got.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Is it a rolling?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, it's. It's a vintage rolling. 1991. My little sister was born that year, and it was a family project that I first sold. It was $65,000, which was the most amount of money I'd ever made.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

What's a family project?

[Robbie Hoffman]

It was a family project I wrote, maybe. Oh, you wrote six or seven years ago. And I bought this, you know, I spent 3,600 on this watch. 5,500. I negotiated three. 3,600.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Wait, that's a good price.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Very, very good price.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

How much is it worth today?

[Robbie Hoffman]

About 5,500. Asking price, which I knew at the time, but anyway. And my brother always said, like, you know, he's got three kids, we grew up on welfare. He takes care of his family, he works like a dog. And he's like, I always lease a good car that I like because it's like, I'm picking up the kids. I'm like, this is like the one treat. Like, you have to take a little bit off the top.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And.

[Robbie Hoffman]

And I do that for this. Whether it's this taking 3,000 from 65,000 or whether it's small things. Gab got a callback. Or I got a callback. We're going for dinner tonight.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're celebrating.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Ciao. Whatever. All you can eat. I don't care. You know, we're going. You don't have the acknowledge every win.

[Amanda Hirsch]

I love that.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

That's so important. Do you? So you don't get, like, fukhamsa, like I do.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Broke Hashem. But we're acknowledging what happened.

[Amanda Hirsch]

Okay. You're not like.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I'm not saying what.

[Amanda Hirsch]

You're getting it.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Okay. That's important.

[Robbie Hoffman]

This itself is a win.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I agree. I'm like that too, because people, you know, get very superstitious. They don't like to tell people. Sometimes they think that if they're happy, it won't. But I agree with that. It's like, no, I got this callback. That's a huge deal. If I told everybody. And then I don't get it. We can.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I don't tell.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Oh, I took it too far.

[Robbie Hoffman]

You know, I'm not telling everyone.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Okay.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Just at home with your spouse, maybe your sister, your parents, you can have private celebrations. I don't mean you're running around. You'll, you know, the big celebrations once it's done and out there and fine, that's. That's so much fun too. But the private. I remember being so poor, and when I got that thousand dollar that I wrote a script, because when I started stand up, I thought every stand up did. Also wrote. I didn't realize it's a whole other career. Because when I started stand up, I really didn't know, stand up. And then the ones that I looked up, it was like Jerry Seinfeld, he was a stand up. Ellen was a stand up. She had a show. Like all these stand ups had shows. So I thought they all wrote. So I committed as much to writing. I just, I, I al always did both. And when I got a thousand dollars option for this at HBO Canada for this idea that I wrote, $1,000 seemed insane. And I remember taking the Metro at the time I was still in Montreal. I took the Metro home from school and I stopped by the corner store and I bought myself a single beer. You know, when they sell the cans, it's like, I have to celebrate this. Like, I needed that $1,000, like, more than anything, but I'm like, I have to. And I just had a singular beer in my apartment, which is not something I really did coming home from school or, you know, like, I just, but I needed to celebrate that. And I wouldn't splurge on a beer something like that back then. And I just did, even privately me. And it was wonderful. And I still remember that, the satisfaction of that.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Amanda Hirsch]

We'll be right back after the break. It is wild how many bars are out there. Like, everyone's trying make a protein bar out there, okay? Like, it's in such high demand. Like, why wouldn't they?

Like, I can't drink thousands of drinks a day to put the thousands of powders for the different freaking things that people are saying that you need. So when I found out that Parallels per Protein has protein, fiber and creatine all in one scoop, I was like, oh my God, thank God this is made for me.

Listen, I'm one of those girls that even when I started making money, I still don't like spending that much money, especially with like designer stuff. Because if I spend money on non designer things, like it doesn't cost that much, so I know that I can get over it in a little while and I won't care because I didn't

[Interviewer/Co-host]

spend that much money.

[Amanda Hirsch]

If I buy something a designer and I'm really spending a lot of money and then I'm over in a year, like I'd feel so terrible. And that's why I'm obsessed with the RealReal. Because you can find your favorite designers on the RealReal. They have like thousands of new arrivals daily and you can really just find good stuff. And obviously because it's been used and loved before, then you get it at a much better price. Like you can really scour and find such good deals on brands like Gucci, Fendi, Prada, Louis, Tiffany, Cartier, and so much more. Like up to like 90 off retail, you guys. And most importantly, they have such a rigorous authentication process. Like you're, you can trust it. You know, you don't even need to think twice about like if what you're getting is legit or not. Because it is. Like just trust it. Once you're on the RealReal, you can trust it. You can also sell any stuff that you have on the RealReal and they do everything for you. You just send it in and they do the photography, the copywriting, the shipping, the pricing, the Customer service. So the real Real is the smarter way to shop luxury and sell. The RealReal is the most trusted name in authenticated luxury resale with over 10,000 new arrivals daily. No one does resale like the real.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Is that the HBO Canada? Did I read that you snuck in there to like drop something off?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yes.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

What did you try to get in there?

[Robbie Hoffman]

I wrote a. So I always thought again that stand up and writing went together. Now it turns out you explain that to me. A lot of standups just do stand up and a lot of.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

But they're writing the material for that.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, they write their materials. But I also wrote television.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Okay, you thought they were writing the shows that they were on.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, I also assumed. And that was perfect for me because I loved to write. I also was. So I'm like, oh, wow, we'll do it all. We are. But I wrote a script and then I looked up like how to put it in script format. You've seen scripts, they're in like final draft. And that software was like 6, 99 Canadian. So maybe 4. 99 USD. I'm like, are they out of their goddamn minds that for typewritten they're going to charge me? So it took me twice as long to even. I wrote the script in probably a week. Cause I, by the time that I figured out I could, I wanted to write. I had so many ideas to write so I could get them out quick. Cause I'm like, oh, I could do this. And it took me almost twice as long to figure out what is the format it's in and to do it in Word, like to make it look

[Interviewer/Co-host]

like you did it in final draft.

[Robbie Hoffman]

You know, if you're working in Word, it's demented.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

It's, it's. It, it can cause mania. I believe it's like, you know when you hear about like weed can trigger like mania or schizophrenia. I do believe working in Word to make a final draft document can, can trigger the exact same thing.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And then like, what font did you choose?

[Robbie Hoffman]

I found the exact font. No, it's in courier 12. I said, I remember, like in my apartment, those wins. And I put it in. I PDF'd it. I printed it for free at work and I put it in manila envelopes. I used to steal all Kinds of supplies at work.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Where did you work?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Kpmg. I had an internship.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

That's the accounting firm. Because you were gonna be a cpa.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. I mean, that was the great. The greatest thing I could even dream of being is having a professional job.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And you were good with numbers. Like, you would have passed the test, I think.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, yeah. I would have been partner if not doing this. I would be partnering accounting firm. It's no problem.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

So you were destined to make some money then.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I had to make.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah, yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

As soon as I found out I was gay, I'm like, I gotta get cash. Like, these girls aren't gonna pay for themselves. It's gonna fall on me. Because before I was gay, I was gonna marry rich. That was my other plan.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Oh, okay.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Like, I had a good figure, the fellows liked me. I knew rich Jewish boys.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I got to go to this like, really fancy school for free in high school. And I was like, poor and looked down upon, but some people fucked with me.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

And I had a good personality. And.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And boys liked you?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Boys liked me because I didn't like them. You know, they're into that.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

And I was hideous.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

No, I stopped. That's not true.

[Robbie Hoffman]

No, no. I cleaned up well, but day to day I was hideous. And these guys. And I just was gonna do that, but then I found out I was gay and I'm like, oh, my God, I have to be that now.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Wait, what age was that to be?

[Robbie Hoffman]

The rich Jewish boy? That's awful. Maybe 17, 18.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Because I saw you posted throwback photos

[Amanda Hirsch]

where you're wearing, like really low pants.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

What era was that for you?

[Amanda Hirsch]

How old were you?

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Do you know what pictures I'm talking about? Really long hair.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Really low pants.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

That might be making a comeback.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, no, they're making a comeback in my house. Gabs. Gabs in them now.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

She is in them now. And they look much better on her than they would me now. But back then they looked okay on.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

They did. So you're saying the boys liked you. You didn't like them then you were like, I like girls. I gotta make money.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Money.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And. But you still wanted to. So then the accounting idea came.

[Robbie Hoffman]

The accounting was great because I'm like, okay, like school felt like not everybody in my family went to school. I remember when I told my mother I was going to university, she was like, well, I can't do all that.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I went to McGill. Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I went to McGill, by the way.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

That was my dream School. I didn't get in.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Oh, wow.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

No.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I only applied to McGill because it was local. I was in Montreal.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And it's super cheap, right?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. It would be close to free for me to go if I got it.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah, it's super. It's super cheap for residents, right?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, yeah, it was $3,000 a year.

[Amanda Hirsch]

Wow.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

So you got in?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. Did you?

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You graduated?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

So you just didn't end up doing graduate school?

[Robbie Hoffman]

I quit graduate school.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Oh, you quit graduate school?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, I got into McGill for graduate school for my CPA for CA in Canada, but they do CPA there as well.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And I quit because the comedy writing was. Was kind of taking over.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I just. I wouldn't wish a calling on anyone, especially poor people. It's horrible to have a job. I was making $32,500 a year. $32,500 salary. And that was unbelievable even just to have a salary.

[Amanda Hirsch]

I mean, that's a lot for.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

When was this?

[Robbie Hoffman]

I was 22 years old.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

And I was like king of the. Like, me making $32,000 was like, I would go out with these dykes and lesbians who were all kind of rich kids. Looking back, like, they grew up in New York or Connecticut. They went to McGill, which was very expensive for them to go to because it was, you know, out of state, obviously, but. And they would cosplay poverty. You know, they were all doing potlucks and this and that. And I was like, I was like the big man. Like, I would take girls. I'll be like, shots, shots. Like, you know, they. They would chastise me for working for the man. I had a corporate job, but they didn't work at all.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah, wait, I saw your. Your take on potlucks.

[Amanda Hirsch]

I agree, I agree, I agree.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I'm not bringing something to somebody's rich

[Interviewer/Co-host]

house to somebody's rich. What if they're not rich?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Then I bring something.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Okay. Yeah. It's also like, if you get invited to a dinner party, do you ask, what can I bring?

[Robbie Hoffman]

I kind of do it. Here's the whole thing. People are like, like, I brought a bottle of wine the other day to my friend's house, and he was like, I thought, you don't bring this. Like, I'm also joking. It's like in my first stand up special, you know, I go hard on pizza. I'm like, yeah, pizza's not the greatest. Like, I'll have pizza. But it's like a last minute thing, you know? And people after shows, they're like, you know, I'll have a slice of pizza like this. Really? It's like. It's not like. You know what I mean? So it's like, I'm not an animal. I will bring something, but I also like to change it up, you know, My friend Carmen had people over late, a bunch of comedians and whatever, and we were all coming from shows after, and I just surprised everyone with, like, a hundred bucks of McDonald's.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Oh, you like McDonald's?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Oh, yeah.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And you work there?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, I worked at McDonald's. Greatest restaurant in the world.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

What's your meal?

[Robbie Hoffman]

I do the two cheeseburger meal right now.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

That's the number two?

[Robbie Hoffman]

No, it's a number seven, I think so.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

What do you mean, two cheeseburgers?

[Robbie Hoffman]

They give you two little cheeseburgers. Oh, they're like. They're almost like the ones from the Happy Meal. They're very small, but you get two and a fry.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And a fry.

[Robbie Hoffman]

And I like a apple pie.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I. I'm a Big Mac girl.

[Robbie Hoffman]

You know what? I maybe had a Big Mac once.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Really?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yes. I got it. I got to re. Like, it seems so big, but I got to do it.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Okay.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Dainty. Yeah.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I mean, it is double. And I see.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I like. But your Big Mac is what I'm getting, but together.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah, yeah.

[Amanda Hirsch]

Right?

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're getting two. And I'm like. And I like more bread, I'm telling you.

[Robbie Hoffman]

And you're having less bread than me.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You like more bread? I sometimes eat the burger without the bread.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I can't deal with.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

But the Big Mac has so much sauce is what I'm saying. So you're swimming in the sauce.

[Robbie Hoffman]

You're swimming in the sauce. Yeah.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

So you worked at McDonald's?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

What age was that?

[Robbie Hoffman]

I was 18.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

So. In Canada.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Oh, yeah.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

So it's probably clean and a nice McDonald's.

[Robbie Hoffman]

It was horrible. We had these. We had. We had a sepsis issue. We had a plumbing. A massive plumbing issue at our McDonald's. Like, it would be closed every so often because it was like poop floating on the floor.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

So why did you work? Were there not.

[Robbie Hoffman]

It was 11. No, because. Because I was working at a cafe before that was 7. 25 Canadian an hour. So maybe it's like $5 here or something.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Y.

[Robbie Hoffman]

But we heard my friend Shani came to me. My best shout out to Shani, who worked at McDonald's with me. She's like, McDonald's is, like, hiring at 11 an hour. Like, she woke me up. Like, it was urgent. Like, she was like, it's kind of

[Interviewer/Co-host]

wild that McDonald's is, like a good.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Like, well, this franchise. They're all their own restaurants. Like, they had no employee. Like, their turnover was so bad that this owner was like, just to get people in here. Yeah. So we.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

We.

[Robbie Hoffman]

She was like. Shani was like, we're quitting the cafe. And I'm like, shan, like, I really don't think we should be doing this. Like. And, you know, and that cafe was pretty good. We would, you know, we would break a cookie every morning to have it, you know? Cause if something was broken, we couldn't sell it. So she was constantly dropping something.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And at McDonald's.

[Robbie Hoffman]

And then at McDonald's, we were. Yeah, we ate at McDonald's every single day.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Did you get fat?

[Robbie Hoffman]

No, I guess not.

[Amanda Hirsch]

You didn't.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You didn't gain weight? The metabolism was.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Gained weight, but it wasn't noticeable. And we also left our shifts. They would let you take soda for free. So I would take extra large soda, like a Coke. I would leave with a Coke this big. Every evening, I would fill up a full Coke.

[Amanda Hirsch]

Well, duh.

[Robbie Hoffman]

And then I would drink that at night.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Oh, my God. Working at McDonald's. To now delicious. To now. Buying for a hundred dollars.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. No.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

All your friends.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Who is not more excited? Okay, it's midnight.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

No, that's it, babe. That's such a fun surprise.

[Robbie Hoffman]

It's midnight.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I would love that.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Forget the bottle of wine. Okay. I go. Can you throw in 20 fries and 20 burgers? Let's go.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yes.

[Robbie Hoffman]

They love it.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I love that. And by the way, my take on the dinner is like, I rather show up with a bottle of wine or a dessert or something. Or that McDonald's idea. Then ask. Because if I ask and you say yes, we're out of now mayonnaise. No, can you go get it?

[Robbie Hoffman]

That's.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Then I already. I'm not feeling that great about this.

[Robbie Hoffman]

That is criminal to pick up last minute. Can you grab milk? Can you grab ice?

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I cannot ice ice.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I cannot know the ice.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Ice at the gas station.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Cannot grab ice is the actual most single most annoying thing to ask somebody to gra. It's heavy. You. You don't know where to find it at the gas station.

[Robbie Hoffman]

It's so weird.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Ice. It's such weird ice. You can't even. You can.

[Robbie Hoffman]

You. You. You can't buy. I.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

But that's the thing people ask for the most.

[Amanda Hirsch]

I would.

[Robbie Hoffman]

It's terrible. It's terrible. Like, no, it is hard to bring things. But also, at the same time when people come to my house, you're offering.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You're everything I have everything. Really. You're a good host.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. Like literally bring nothing. I do. And people bring flowers, which is lovely.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah. You like getting flowers?

[Robbie Hoffman]

I do. I love flowers.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Does Gabby bring you flowers?

[Robbie Hoffman]

We do flowers a lot. For each other.

[Amanda Hirsch]

For each other.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

So it's like, you'll get her flowers, she'll get you.

[Robbie Hoffman]

We're always getting flowers.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

That's so cute.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, I used to have a joke about it, but flower people get annoyed with flowers. They don't do anything. But I'm like, when you're that hot, you don't have to do anything. Like what a rock star do. Like, why don't you give rocks a hard time? They don't even look like they. There's flowers just look good.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

They just look good. That is true.

[Robbie Hoffman]

They come out of nowhere in these deep blues. Look what Hashem gave us. They don't have to do anything but look good.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

We were talking before about the year that you're having the culmination, but this year we got the hacks. We got the em.

[Robbie Hoffman]

It's true.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

We got the rooster. Could you imagine you're working on a new show with hbo.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yes.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

What else is going on? Did I miss anything? The tour. The sold out tour.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yes. I, well, I hesitate to say the, the other thing. And we're gonna have a second leg of the tour announced at some point. I'm trying to shave off some cities.

[Amanda Hirsch]

Shave off?

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Like make it less?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yes, I'm always trying to make it less.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

It's a lot.

[Robbie Hoffman]

It's a lot.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

How many cities are you at right now? Like, how many?

[Robbie Hoffman]

This is an eight city tour.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Eight city, okay.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Complete. People are like, are you going to come to Wichita? I'm not coming. There's just no, I don't want to go to Wichita. I mean, unless they really force me.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

So you'd like doing the big. The big. The, like, you know, New York, L.A. yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

We're doing Seattle. We're going to, you know, I don't want to promise too much, but it looks like we might make the Carolinas have. There's some people who are going to be very, very happy. And when I do go to these places, I probably won't be back, God willing, for another decade.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Wait, do you not like touring?

[Robbie Hoffman]

I leisurely tour.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I'm not an, I'm not a road. Every night I do so many things. I have, I, I, I, I, I act, I write and I take stand up very seriously. When. When you pay $50 to see me or whatever the ticket prices are now. I don't look anymore. You're getting I money's worth. Like, I will never waste your dollar.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

And I will. I'm not about to burn myself out and dial it in. I either go 100 or I don't go at all.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah. So when.

[Robbie Hoffman]

So I do a leisurely Tour. We're doing eight cities here. I think I'm adding about 15 to round out the tour for the second leg, you know.

[Amanda Hirsch]

Eight plus 15.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. And that'll be for the whole year. Now there are people who are on Perma tours every night. They're going somewhere else. I'll do one, maybe two shows a week.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No.

[Amanda Hirsch]

I don't know how people do it. People do like 70 city, but some

[Robbie Hoffman]

people, that's all they do.

[Amanda Hirsch]

Right.

[Robbie Hoffman]

So that's fine too. If that's, you know, if that's like, I have a very 360 kind of. You know, I then like to toggle between the things I do. You know, people ask me, what do I prefer, stand up or writing or acting. And to me, they're all different hats and they all help each other. If I've been on, you know, if I've done great standup the weekend and then I have to write that week, the scripts are better for it.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Right.

[Robbie Hoffman]

You know, the jokes are.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And you have a wife.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. And did I see the Wonderful Life?

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Did she. She said something like, maybe you're not, like, when you're on tour, she's the one that needs to, like, check in more. I saw that, like, you can sometimes be very in the zone.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I. That was surprising to me because you're so, like, all in.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. You know, so on. But I never. I'm not, like, I'm not such a texty type of person.

[Amanda Hirsch]

You're a.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You're a phone call person.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I'm a phone call. And I'm like, definitely in person. Oh, I feel like, what's the update? I'm. I'm staying in a dump. It's the pod. You don't want to know, babe. Like, you don't want to know my life. Like, it's brutal. Like, there's nothing even to tell her that I.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

That's like, she wants the. Like, she wants the, like. Yeah, I landed vibes.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. So we do all that now. I love it. You know, like, she kind of taught you that way. I want to make sure that she's okay. Like, I Like it from her.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

But when she's asking me, I'm okay. I'm like, it's a shithole. Like, there's nothing to say. It's fine. Like, you know, I'm like, don't worry about me.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Wait, the pod. I just want to. It's a Brooklyn one.

[Robbie Hoffman]

That.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

There's a restaurant there now. Yeah, it's that one. Yeah, go to the restaurant.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I had a coffee there early in the morning.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Did you like it?

[Robbie Hoffman]

It's fine.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

But I am kind of shocked you're at that hotel, to be honest.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Everybody's shocked.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Everybody's shocked.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Everybody's shocked.

[Amanda Hirsch]

I'm obsessed. We'll be right back after the break. Everybody's talking about GLP1s nowadays. Everyone's talking about the Peptides. Everyone's doing it. And listen, if at the end of the day I would decide that I wanted to go that route, first of all, I told you I would always be honest with you and tell you. And second of all, I would do it through a trusted source with ro, which, yes, you saw Serena Williams be their spokesperson. Before they prescribe medication, patients have to complete an online medical visit, do lab testing and qualify for the medication based on their bmi, their lab results and medical history, and the discretion of a ROE affiliated healthcare provider. And now RO offers a full suite of FDA approved GLP1s for weight loss, including the new GLP1 pill. Have you heard about this, you guys? The pill is the new, more convenient and approachable way to try GLP1s. If you've been thinking about it, I know a lot of people's fears around GLP1s have to do with the injecting, right? It sounds a little scary now that there's a pill that delivers comparable results. It's good news for everybody. A lot of people see great benefits of starting a GLP1 for weight loss. A lot of people feel better. A lot of people feel lighter, less inflamed. It really changed lives for a lot of people that I know personally. With Roe, you can get 100% online care, access to clinically proven FDA approved medications, free insurance checks, side effect management, dosing support, and more. Go to RO Co Notskinny to see if you're eligible for the new GLP1 pill on RO. That's RO CO notskinny. To get started on ROE, go to RO CO safety for box warning and full safety information about GLP1 medications. So I recently told you guys how, like, I realized I don't really drink anymore. Like, okay, that sounds dramatic. It's not like I don't drink anymore. I think I just realized, like, because of just like my lifestyle, I don't end up being in situations where I drink a lot. I never really drink a lot. My point is I even drink less now. So when I do drink, I do go into it with a little bit of anxiety of like, wait, I don't want to wake up. Like, not good. And, and I have a solution for that. It's called Zbiotics. I heard that, like, it's catching on. People already know about it. But I want to tell you more because Zbiotics is such a great way to make sure that you're not going to wake up shitty the next day. So this is what you do. You drink the zbiotics before you drink alcohol, okay? You got to make it your first drink of the night. Then you're going to drink responsibly.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Okay?

[Amanda Hirsch]

You're going to pace yourself, you're going to hydrate, you're going to get a good night's sleep and, and you're gonna wake up feeling refreshed and ready to go. There is nothing worse than having like a fun night, but then your morning being ruined because of drinking zebiotics. Pre alcohol probiotic drink is the world's first genetically engineered probiotic. It was invented by PhD scientists to tackle rough mornings after drinking. And this is how it works. When you drink, alcohol gets converted into a toxic byproduct in the gut. It's a buildup of this byproduct, not dehydration, that's to blame for how you feel the next day. Pre alcohol produces an enzyme to break this byproduct down. Just remember to make pre alcohol your first drink of the night. Drink responsibly and you're going to feel the best the next day. Let's be real. Usually a Friday night out means a Saturday morning in, but if you start incorporating pre alcohol, your glass of wine will not disrupt your morning flow. Remember to head to zbiotics.com not score skinny and use the code not skinny at checkout for 15 off guys. I feel like I'm a Nyx brand ambassador and like an early adopter. Because I've loved Nyx forever, like ever since I first found it, that it was a female owned Canadian brand. They make period undies. That's how I found them. And by the way, like when I found Nyx, I like use the period undies, but like, not really for my period. I loved how they were like secure and like held me in and gave me that extra protection. But I always would like use a pad anyway. I know I'm a pad girly. Some of you are just finding this out. And that's why Nyx is so perfect for me. Because then I can ditch the pad. Like, I'm so upset. When I was in LA earlier this week, I literally didn't bring Nyx undies because I didn't know that I was getting my period. I don't know why I didn't check. I think I thought I would just get it when I got home. And I was so upset. But you know what I did have? I had my Nyx shapewear that had leak proof built into it and I was like, oh my God. Thank freaking God. Like so yes, diabolical to wear shapewear on a plane. But at least it's Nyx so it's that much more comfortable. Their leak proof technology is crazy. If you haven't tried it before, you have to like, it will change your life. They have buttery, soft, stretchy fabrics and cuts like thong bikini boy short, high rise and more like you're gonna find what you love. I especially love a boy short for overnight. They have great colors. You gotta try it, you guys. Until you free flow, you haven't lived. Head to nyx.com and you'll see why I love it so much. Don't forget to use code Amanda for 15% off your order. Get leak proof undies, amazing wireless bras and so much more. That's nyx.com code is Amanda. That's K N I X.com code is Amanda nyx.com. and we're back.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I also saw that you. You said you messed you you couldn't get yourself to not kind of fangirl over Steve Carell and Rooster.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I know well because it' my brother shmul like the thing that I. The things that I do for my family. They don't realize how embarrassing it is. Like I have no chill. Okay, so. And it took me years. Maybe it's spectrumy, maybe it's cultural. Who knows? It took me years to develop a media training of some kind that when I see somebody I love Taco, I'm by the way, I'm the biggest fan. This, that and the other. Okay, so now I.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Why is that? But that's okay.

[Robbie Hoffman]

No, it's not okay. People don't like it. Especially guys standups. If you tell a really famous guy you love his work or whatever, they don't want to be liked. It's like, going back to high school. You can't like the guy. If you like the guy, he thinks you're a loser. He's a loser. Do you know what I mean? But he think, like, they can't have love, okay? A lot of times it comes off like, thirsty and. And, you know, and I'm, by the way, my whole life I've been insecure about being annoying. And then I'm doing annoying things. I'm like, just stop being annoying. You know what I mean? So it's like, I used to go up to people like, oh, I'm such a fan of this, that and the other. Now I don't. My family is still like that.

[Amanda Hirsch]

Okay?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Like, my sister saw Paul Rust from the Netflix show, love. The Judd Apatow show, love. Maybe 10 years ago. She's like, paul Rust is at a restaurant.

[Amanda Hirsch]

Okay.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Very niche, by the way.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, very niche. Okay?

[Interviewer/Co-host]

So I know because I like the show.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. And she'll go. She'll go. They'll go niche on anything. Like, big. Okay? And she's like, I'm being chill. I'm being chill. Second seconds later, I'll get 16 pictures of her with Paul West. Like, I'm being chill. So in the beginning, say, I got a five minute spot at the Just for Laughs festival, which is a big comedy festival. My brothers would call and be like, can I get 16 tickets? Jeff Ross is gonna be there. My friends wanna come. It's like, 16 tickets is an insane amount. And my brothers used to come and like, could you get a picture of me and Jeff Ross? And it's like, I'm working the show and I'm like. And he's like, but now I bring them and I let them enjoy.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You don't. You don't give them any limits.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Go up. Go up to anyone.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

As long as it's not you doing it.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I just don't care. It's my family. What can I say? There's nothing to say. This is how they are. Wait, I wish I could. I don't have to explain for them anymore. But the Steve Carell thing was one of those gray areas again, where I'm now working as an actor on Steve Carell's big new show.

[Amanda Hirsch]

Okay?

[Robbie Hoffman]

And, you know, we're sitting on those actor director chairs, you know, and my brother Shmuley is just poking. It's just in my ear. Like, have you. Have you told Steve Carell? It's like, well, did you mention the Office? It's like, no, I'm not gonna. Like, he knows about the office, but they just want me to say, so finally, like the last day of shooting, I'm like, do I care more about Steve Carell or do I care more about making my brother Shmuley happy?

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

So I had to pick Shmuley and it killed. And I don't wanna do this. And I'm like, my brother Shmuley loved you in the office. And he's like, thanks. And finally my brother called. Did you mention the office? I said, you could say I mentioned the office. He goes, ah, that's fantastic. That's fantastic. Like, it just makes. Nothing good happens to these people. Why can't I? Like, we're out here having these luxurious lives and it's amazing. Like, my brother was in Construction for 15 years. My sister's a social worker doing the work, you know, so when I bring her to something, I brought her to some premiere. I said, say hi to whoever. She said, brett Goldson is so hot. I said, go up to him. I just, I care more about my family. Yeah. In the end, you know, in the beginning it was too embarrassing. But now that I have a little bit more confidence and comfort in being here, that I can be here and I should be here, I don't. I let them enjoy. Now, are they.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Well, it sounds like from the stories, but how geeked out are they over your life? Like, can they believe it?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yes, we all believe it.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You all like, they knew. Did your family kind of think you were going to be in the biz growing up?

[Robbie Hoffman]

I'm not sure. But they, we, we all were like, well, why not us? Yeah, so why not? What's so special? You know, that's how my siblings are. We just. They've seen the work, they've seen us, you know, like, we're all extremely hard working in our respective, respective fields too. And we've seen other people make it. Like my sister Chaya in sales, for instance. Like, she started working at 16 and you know, she married and bought a house. Like there were so many making. It's that we saw from. So I don't know, I just feel like we're all so stoked.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Did any of them have a dream like yours, like to be in entertainment?

[Robbie Hoffman]

I think we all dream to some extent. And that's why it's amazing to share it with them because they didn't get to dream. You know, I'm seventh born, I have six older. You know, my sister Chaya, for instance, didn't have an older sister that she, she had to just like move out at 15, 16. Work at the grocery store, work in sales. Like, she had so many things that she was just not. She never got to dream. So bringing her to the Emmys. You brought her, you know, was so fun because a. So I lose my category. Okay. As soon as. First of all, we wake up in the morning. It's Chi and me. We got a hotel. I got her the hair and makeup because I don't use that. So I use my budget on.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I was gonna ask you if you do glam.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I do my own glam, as you can imagine. So I gave it to my sister. And we wake up in the morning, and we're like, it's a shoe in. Like, who's a. Who's like, there's no one else to even win this. She's like. Like, we're thinking, we already won the Emmy. We woke up, we're having mimosa. She's like. I was like, she's a shoe in. First of all, the category is Olivia Colman. It's like me. It's literally like Zoe Kravitz. Like, okay. And we're like. She's like, who's even in this category? Like, you know, we're like, we think we want it. Okay.

[Amanda Hirsch]

I love it.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Suddenly, our category's up first. It was supposed to be mid show, but they're like. They're doing some of the acting categories first just to start it off with a bang before they get into the technical sound engineering that got nothing wrong. So we're up. We're sitting front row. There's like, celebs, you know, beyond. We're sitting there, and I lose immediately. Kaya's like, we don't need this.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Okay?

[Robbie Hoffman]

She walks me out. She's like this. We don't need this. You could see us on camera. We're like, no. Literally the worst sore losers you can imagine. Okay, okay, wait.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Weren't you scared that the cameras would pick it up?

[Robbie Hoffman]

No. My sister told me we're leaving.

[Amanda Hirsch]

We're leaving.

[Robbie Hoffman]

My big sister just like, we're getting out of here. She pulled. I'm like, okay, we're leaving. Like, who am I to send my sister leave?

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You left.

[Robbie Hoffman]

We leave.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You didn't stay for the rest of the night.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Ten minutes into the ceremony, I lose. We're gone.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Okay?

[Robbie Hoffman]

We go to the back. They're like, whoa, whoa, Robbie, you can't leave. You're presenting the cinematography categories. I'm like a presenter also. I said, no, no, no. My. My circumstances have changed. I don't want to present Anymore, you know, Stop. Yeah, I don't want to present. I, you know, I thought I'd go up there with Miami.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Da, da, da.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Who cares? Cinematography, great. You know, I, I, we just, I said, my circumstances have changed. She said, we're leaving. We don't need this shit. I came all the way for our to from Arizona to do this. She's horrified. She spent $400 on a top. The hotel isn't what it said it would be. We're out. Then they, they convince us. They get her, they get her address. We have to stay. Okay. So we get there, and they want me to go on the teleprompter and say they have all this. I said the one thing I know I'm not saying, whatever the hell's on there, I have no clue what they want me to say on this. I'm not reading a prompter. A. I don't even know how to follow the prompter. And, you know, it's, it. I do find it funny that so many talk shows and things like this and award shows use prompters. It's like, maybe a talk show should have somebody who knows how to talk. Like, you know what I mean? It's like, it's like that's, it's like, you're such a good, just talker.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Thank you.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Like, it's like you don't have a prompt. Like, you're just.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I've noticed that celebs mess the prompter up all the time at award shows, and they make fun of it. And that kind of becomes the vibe of the night of, like, can I work the prompt?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Can I work? Already know I'm not saying nothing. So I get up there because I, and I get up there, I go, I lost. There's nothing to say. And the whole audience was, was with me because it was like, listen, it's not the most becoming behavior to be a sore loser, but I believe when you're sad, be sad. When you're happy, be happy. I'm not going to pretend. Like, it's like, when I'm sad, I like Radiohead. I like sad music. Like, I lean into sad. Yeah, I lean into happy. I lean into whatever feelings I'm having.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You know, I need to go watch your reaction when the winner is announced.

[Robbie Hoffman]

So. But you'll see, I think still that reaction is in it. But I get up there, I'm like, it's, you know, there's nothing to say. I said, and it's criminal, frankly, that they have me presenting after such a loss. I have to hold somebody else's Emmy, it's, like, masochistic. It's like, this could have been mine. Like, I gotta. And then I'm bringing up the category. I'm like, you know what, Chaya? You wanna present at the Emmys? So my sister. I said, I brought my sister in from Arizona. She got her hair. I said, look how I make her show everyone. People agree. She looks Kristen Swartz. Like, she looks beautiful. I said, chaya, why don't you present the cinematography?

[Amanda Hirsch]

Why?

[Robbie Hoffman]

And the security's like, you know. And I'm like, what? You're gonna let Will Smith. He can walk, waltz whatever stage he wants. My sister, all the way in from Arizona, can't present an Emmy. And she. She did amazing with me. And we turned that frown upside down. And presenting with my sister made the whole night, like, everything. It was just so fun. And for her and for her, it's like we all get to share in each other's dreams.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

That's so sweet. And the fact that you're 10 and it sounds like you're. Are you guys more or less equally close?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, I'm. I'm close to about six of them. There's always an ebb and flow. It's like the Kardashians, but poor and Jewish. There's like, different, like, dramas, and this person's not talking to that. And should I meddle? Should I not meddle? I'm a good family meddler. If two people are fighting, they call you. I will slow and steady get them back.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah, you're not a fighter. Like, you don't. Yeah, do, do, like, get mad about stuff. Drama. If they don't invite you. If they're hanging out, doing something and.

[Robbie Hoffman]

No, no. And I'd rather not. The less we have to do, the better because there is so much going on all the time. But, yeah, one of my little sisters, Devorah, she's a terrible meddler. Like, she'll make it worse. Yeah, she'll be like, yehudis told me this. That's not. I'm like, you know, like, I'm very.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And does your mom get in it?

[Robbie Hoffman]

No, my mother is like. It's funny. Like, my parents aren't. I don't have any relationship with my father, but my. My mother is dans la lune. Like, in French. It's like she's in the moon. Like, she's in the class. My mother is autistic beyond. She is. My mother speaks to all of her children, and she has. No. She never gets involved.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

She never does, huh?

[Robbie Hoffman]

No. And she's always been like, yeah, but we're not as close. Like, my mother is really a meat and potatoes mother. Like, you're going to be fed, you're going to be housed, you know, and you're going to be educated. Like, that's it. You know, she didn't do any of the. The emotional bandwidth was certainly not there. And so where did you.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Where did you find it with your siblings?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, it's like, it's very hard to describe, you know, I think to compare the differences between a nuclear family of maybe two kids, two parents to 10 kids and two parents, and then from two parents to my mother, Justin, and my great uncle Eddie. I think there's a lot of co raising that goes on too, such that my little brother is not just my little brother, he's also my son. There are different. The way that we are is very different. You know, my sister Chaya had her leg up with a tampon. I'm ten bushes out here. She's like, well, you're gonna have to know. It's like, I guess today's the day. I know. Like, you don't. You know, when you have. I taught my little brother how to potty train. I wouldn't recommend this, but I must have been five, and he was slow and my mother was freaking out that, well, he's not gonna get into. He couldn't go to school.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Right. You can't go if you're not.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Mm.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And you were like, I'll do it.

[Robbie Hoffman]

No, she was just like, freaking out. And I just. I put him in my underwear. It was strawberry shortcake underwear. And I said, if you pish in my underwear, I will punch you. I will hate you. And it's terrible. Five years. But the abuse worked and he was trained. Within two weeks, we had him in school. I said, mother's kid, this will not be an accident. And he wore my end. Or he was so afraid of me. But that's, you know, it's not great parenting. You know, the parentification isn't great for a lot of reasons, but it's also. Is great for some reasons.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And you're Robbie and everyone's. Well, you were Rifka. Yeah. Is that still on your, like, official documents?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yo?

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah. Like, and what does it sound like when you hear it? Does it sound like you Rifka?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. No, it sounds like somebody knows me from, like, whenever people call me, you know, my. My high school friends call me Riv. Like, I can always denote where somebody calls me from, you know? Like, Rifky is a kid. My family calls me Rifky. Yeah.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Really? So if Kaya's coming with you to the Emmys, and everyone's like, robbie, Robbie.

[Robbie Hoffman]

She'll say Robbie.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Oh, she'll. She'll understand the. Okay, yeah, yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

And then Robbie just feels like me and, like, who I am. Like, I. I love Robbie. And I also like. I like Riv and I like. But it depends who. I wouldn't want a new person to call us.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Like, yeah, that's right.

[Robbie Hoffman]

You don't know me like that, you know. You know me like this, which I love. All the parts of me I just. It just. It denotes where they're coming from in my world. It's very sweet.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You seem like such a, like, sure person. Are you?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Like, you know who you are. Vibes.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. I'm always trying to be more me. Like, I feel like, you know, it's hard to say what the point of life is or whatever, but I really feel like you need a life to know a life. I feel like, God willing, we get 120 years, but should I even get 21, 20 years or 90 years or God willing, whatever years I know that I will have needed every year, like, to know my. I just think that the purpose maybe of life is you get one little model car and you gotta get it through. You gotta do the maintenance of it. You gotta make sure it's still running. You gotta make sure it's comfortable. Is the AC working? Your temperature is the scene, you know the scenery. You get one little car and you have to just get that there and make it, personalize it 100%. You can custom do it anything you want.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

When did you feel like you really,

[Amanda Hirsch]

like, became who you are now?

[Robbie Hoffman]

I think it was always there, and then it got squashed. I think I was embarrassed a lot as a child, being poor and then being boyish and being loud and being annoying. And I, you know, I was annoying even my own family. So, you know, my older sister thought I was annoying. Just shut up, you know? And then monetizing and using those things for A plus has been tremendous. It's fighting. It's just. You have to get through the systems that are trying to make you the same. But I know a lot of people who want to be the same, and that works too. But it's. I always have, at the core, been here, but it's just only getting more finessed and refined. I look back at the little kid self of me when I was maybe 8, 9, 10, and I go Rob, I'm trying to get you there as soon I hear you. You know, she's impatient. I know. You don't even know what I'm up against with Nepos and Rich and the connections I am doing. You don't know what it is out here as a grownup. You can't imagine what I've done for us. It's. It's Michael Jordan levels of proportion.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Like, you're. You're a hustler.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. Like, what we have done is tremendous. Yeah, it's tremendous. And just getting as most me as possible.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

So you were saying before you don't do glam.

[Robbie Hoffman]

No, I do my own glam.

[Amanda Hirsch]

Right.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And the hairstyle.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. I don't know how I landed on this.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

So I. I must know because I saw on your website there was a different hairstyle, and I don't hate that one.

[Robbie Hoffman]

No, that was. That.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

That was like a middle.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, Yeah. I used to let my hair go a little more wild and then it just became easier to just, like. That was a very casual look for me.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

And then it just became easier to, like, have one. Like, just not have to think of going to be casual or not.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

It feels more practical to get it, like, out of your face.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I don't know.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You don't know?

[Robbie Hoffman]

I really. You know what? We used to have the Hebrew teacher, Maura Regev, who had the same bouffant hair for years. And you could, like, in our school, you could see like, all the class pictures from, like, the 70s or something, and you could see this one teacher through the years with the same hairstyle. And I'm like. I used to make fun of it. I used to think she's like, oh, my God. And I've become the person, the lady who has the same hairstyle. I don't.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You're good at it. I don't see any bonds.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Is it fine? Yeah.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

What do you use for the.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I use whatever. I got it from Supercuts.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You go to Supercuts?

[Robbie Hoffman]

I go to Supercuts because who even cares what my hair. It's in a bun. Like, it doesn't even.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah. How much does it cost now? Supercuts, 30.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I go on Tuesdays. Yeah, It's. Well, I always. I tip 100% now.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Oh, that's nice.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Because what did I see? Oh, you don't believe in the tipping for the coffee?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Were you annoyed with that?

[Robbie Hoffman]

And people are annoyed that, that, that, that. That when they see me tip now I do tip. I think it is. I Think employers should pay their employees. It shouldn't be levied on the public.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah. Like, when did that happen?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. And it shouldn't be up to, like when I worked at a coffee shop. It shouldn't be up to me smiling like, just let me do my job. I don't want to have to flirt with you.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

So when you tip, people are like.

[Amanda Hirsch]

But you said you don't tip.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. And I'm like, you're missing the point. I think we should end tipping and make employers pay their employees.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I agree.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Why are we subsidizing them? It's kind of like at Walmart, they give people the amount of hours that are just below full time. So maybe it's 34 hours instead of 35, something like that. And that way they also qualify for welfare because you can't live on that. So they're working part time jobs, McDonald's and subsidizing by welfare. Who pays welfare? Us. So it's a way for Walmart to get the public to pay their salaries.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

It's criminal.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

It's criminal.

[Robbie Hoffman]

It's double dipping.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Let's do a few fun Internet pop culture questions before you go.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Of course.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Most famous person on your phone. You can't say Gabby.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Adam Sandler.

[Amanda Hirsch]

Wow.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I know. That's recent. Saw the special?

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah, bro.

[Robbie Hoffman]

We're getting, we're getting hit from all over, Bab. All over.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

That's like the dream. Is it. Is he the dream for you? Like, was he?

[Robbie Hoffman]

I mean, I get, you know, the, the dream is, is me. You know, I don't know that there's a, there's a dream in a person. I think it's all of it. The dream is like we're getting to participate and do this insane thing. But there. Yes. It's all full, full circle. The David Spade. So funny. All, all of these people are, are tremendous. You know, Leanne Morgan. Just knowing my, you know, people who I revere is really nice.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You love the Kardashians.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I do.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Who's your fave?

[Robbie Hoffman]

I like Courtney.

[Amanda Hirsch]

You do?

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Me too.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Oh, really? I like Courtney. But, you know, and I love them all for different things.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

No, of course.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Like, that's the thing. I think Courtney reminds me most of my sister Chaya. And so that's what I like about it.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Is she the oldest?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Okay.

[Robbie Hoffman]

That's fine. Same, same energy.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

And also just like in love and just. Yeah. Like checked out sometimes. Like, does what she wants, doesn't what she wants. I think her style is great. I love Chloe. Obviously. I Think she'd be really fun. Chloe. And Kim is just. I mean, I met Kim very, very briefly, and I was. Oh, this is when I get like. Like, my brothers and sisters, who I have no chill.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You want to say, like, I'm. I'm a huge fan.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. Because, like, Kardashian is, like, a new level of fame. Like, when you're asking me, like, other comedians I could imagine being in the. I know that seems egotistical, but it's like, I am at comedy club so much that I've seen these people, it becomes. But somebody like Kardashian is out of my fields. It's out of my. You know. So when I was at the Vanity Fair party, I found a diamond watch on the floor that had fallen off someone. And I found this diamond watch, and I'm like, I gotta return it to security. And some people were like, finders keeper. And Jimmy. Jimmy Kimmel was helping me, you know, find security. I see such a diamond watch. I looked up the brand. It was a $60,000 watch that I just found. And I get to the bathroom because they had security by the bathroom. Gabby goes to pee, and who comes out of the bathroom? Kim Kardashian.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Wait, this is the Vanny Fair Oscar party.

[Amanda Hirsch]

Oscars. Fancy.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, I heard they weren't inviting so many people. Guess who got the invite? And by the way, it's worth noting, I got invited.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Plus one.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Plus one. So I brought gab, obviously.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Obviously.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Not that they wouldn't know that my plus one is Gabby, but it is worth noting I got invited somehow. So I. And that was a very glitzy and fun party. I mean, Mick Jagger was there, like, ripping cigs. 85. Like, he beat the system. Like, he's, like, having a time. He's got a whiskey. I'm like, wow. Yeah, he was agile.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

He looked good.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Looked great.

[Amanda Hirsch]

Wow.

[Robbie Hoffman]

85. Just ripping cigs. Love beat the fucking system. I was like, well, him and Keith.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I don't know how Keith is doing, but he's alive.

[Robbie Hoffman]

They're kicking it. Yeah. And they were like, major drug addicts or whatever. So it's like, you can't tell them nothing.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

No, none.

[Robbie Hoffman]

And so Kim Kardashian comes out, and she's like, oh, you found the watch. I'm like, yeah, I found. You know, and I'm, like, being too. A little bit like, I don't know how to be around her, you know? And she was like, oh, we could give it to my security. I said, kim, you have enough of these? We're not going to your security. We're going to give it to the museum's security, you know, which she was trying to help the law security will help. And, you know, they can get sweet of her. No, she was so sweet.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah, she's so sweet.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I'm like, trying to make hard jokes, and she's like, okay, whatever. So, Cam, you know, it's all because I'm just nervous, but thank you for trying to help. Of course. And yeah, I like all of them. I love Chris. Gabby would not let me say hello to Chris.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Why?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Gab's like, Gab and I at our party, like, Gab will sit alone and say hi to no one because she's

[Interviewer/Co-host]

embarrassed or because she doesn't.

[Robbie Hoffman]

She doesn't give a.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

About anyone.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Anyone.

[Amanda Hirsch]

That's okay.

[Robbie Hoffman]

And I care a lot about everything. And if I'm at a party like this, I'm like, the. The understanding of such a party is everybody can say hi to everybody.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Party. Nobody knows everybody. They're putting a bunch of glitzy people together. The whole point is you could say hi.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Is it fun? Robbie, that party was very fun.

[Robbie Hoffman]

It was very fun. Just because you know what it is? You know, it's this type of party where, you know, no one's necessarily real friends. Some people are, some aren't. People can go up to each other, and there's some people who don't do that.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

It's okay.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Walked around with me or whatever, but the one person and I already had so many interactions. I was like, I gotta do Chris. And she was like, babe, I cannot. Because it also wouldn't have been a natural approach. I would have beelined. Like, it wasn't like. Like some of the other.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You were all part of the same combo.

[Robbie Hoffman]

And you had been like. That's what I'm saying. Like, that she's all down for. Like, we're in the same convo and somebody's like, oh, Robbie, I saw you. I had a bunch of people who were huge going. You're stat. So it's great when they're starting to do it to me. Yeah. Like, oh, I saw your stand up. Because they feel like they really know what's going on. So here.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You wanted to, like, tap.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I would be lying cold. It's not.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

But you have the chutzpah to do that.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yes.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Okay.

[Robbie Hoffman]

But only. Only. But for what reason? What do I get there?

[Interviewer/Co-host]

What would you say?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Nothing.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I'm a huge fan.

[Robbie Hoffman]

That's why it's insane. She's totally right to pull me Back when it's appropriate. Like, if she just let me run feral.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

At one of those parts, it wouldn't be good.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

But I love that it's like it. Just looking at you both, you would think, like, you're more chill about that kind of environment. And maybe you would have to stop Gabby from wanting to go up to the Kardashians. So it's funny that it's the other way around.

[Robbie Hoffman]

She doesn't give a. And I just want to call my family and be like, I saw this person. I met this person. And you'll never believe who I'm like, oh, my God, they're calling my brother's like, Mariana. She saw Nicole Kidman. Mariana. You know, I just want it for the tea the next day. Like who? Like, I just don't give a.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You like the tea.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. But to relay this information.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah. On. No, that's so funny.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Like, it's just once it's that night. If it's not that night, I don't care.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

But the whole point of that night was, you know, walking around and saying hello to people. And a bunch of people did it to me. And I don't mind at all when

[Interviewer/Co-host]

people come up to you and say, huge fan.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. Like, especially they're fan. Like, you know, it was a. Like a Chris Pine or I forget his name, but he's a massive movie star. He's like, you're stand up. Or Rob Pattinson loves my stand up.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Robert Pattinson came up to you.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yes.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Stop.

[Robbie Hoffman]

And by the way, his new movie, the drama they're not.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I didn't see.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Really good.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I didn't see it.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Gab and I saw it. We really liked it.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

You did? So he came up to a Vanity Fair.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. Loved the show. Loved the. The special. So that I'm not like, like, you know what I mean? So now that I'm hearing it the other way, I go, maybe it's not so bad.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Maybe I should start going up to people more.

[Robbie Hoffman]

No, the beeline is. Is on. Is the beeline is. Then you're just there.

[Amanda Hirsch]

I know, but it's also.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

There's something to say about regretting not seizing an opportunity. You know what I mean?

[Robbie Hoffman]

Right.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Like, what would I, you know, not that you regret the Kris Jenner thing. You'll probably run into.

[Robbie Hoffman]

I have one regret. What was it years and years ago? Joan Rivers.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And that's a regret. You can't.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Joan Rivers, when I had just started stand up and at the same time discover Joan Rivers, which is again, I Didn't grow up thinking standup was anything. I didn't even know what it was. And getting into Joan Rose, my sister, showed me the movie, her movie, loved it. And I was maybe two years in Stand Up. I was really into it. And so this movie was, like, perfect. And she was coming to the festival in Montreal. And I messaged, I emailed the head of the festival. It was like, you don't know me yet, but you will. Like, chutzpah Beyond.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

You know, like. Cause once I'm in, I'm a hundred. I'm like, either I'm going all the way, like, for love or money. This is what I do. Whether it worked out right or it didn't. For love or once I decided.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

I love that line.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, for love or money, this is. And I got. My friend Drucker always says that line, but I love that line. Use it for everything now. Yeah, for. For love or money. This is what I do. Yeah. This is how I toil. This is just what I do. You know, whether it had to, you know, I could have been in the One Match, I would have still been doing this or. Or living a beautiful life that I do with Gab. Either way, this is just what I do. So years. So I messaged him, I said, you don't know me yet, but you will. Joan Rivers is coming. It's sold out. Any way I can see. And he said, I'll do you one better. Why don't you come at 3 o' clock the day of the show? You'll get to see the rehearsal and the show. So I go there, downtown Montreal, and I go in the big auditorium. Well, before I even go to the doctor, I walk through the back, she's in her makeup chair, just. Nobody's there. Just her makeup artist. She's in the makeup chair. I could have said hello, but this is when I didn't even have. I didn't. I, for some reason, played it cool then.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

Yeah.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Like when I play it cool, when I don't, it's like. I didn't say anything. I was just like, oh, she's doing her makeup. She's doing her thing. See, that would have been a time not to be cool. That's the beeline, you know, because you

[Interviewer/Co-host]

got to see her.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah. And you know what? She did say one thing. She was on stage at the rehearsal, massive auditorium, and there was only tech people. Me sitting there with my girlfriend at the time, and she was kind of sweeping the stage and making sure it was perfect. And she said, what's this Lesbians and that's it.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

And that's it.

[Robbie Hoffman]

Yeah, but I wish I had beelined and done the picture. There's not many people that I would say that with, but that would have been a fun one.

[Interviewer/Co-host]

That would have been. Well, sorry for taking more of your time than than intended.

[Robbie Hoffman]

No, not at all.
