Transcript

[Claudia Oshry]

Good morning, girlies. It's the Toast.

[Jackie Oshry]

It's Jackson Claude, and we're your host.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's your favorite show, the Fast 5 things you need to know. We'll start your day off Swirly. It's the Toast.

[Jackie Oshry]

I sound amazing.

[Claudia Oshry]

Welcome back to the Toast. We are so excited to be sitting down with a guest. You know, we kind of don't really do guests, but today's very special. Jackie and I spent all week last week talking about one of our new favorite comedy specials, life on Netflix by Andrew Schultz. And today we are joined by Andrew Schultz.

[Jackie Oshry]

Welcome, Andrew Schultz.

[Andrew Schultz]

Thank you guys so much for having me. This is an honor.

[Claudia Oshry]

It is so crazy to be sitting down with Andrew Schulz. Like, not.

[Andrew Schultz]

I like the full name.

[Jackie Oshry]

Does anyone call you Andrew, or is it always Andrew Schultz?

[Andrew Schultz]

I think it's Andrew usually, but I like this Andrew Schulz.

[Claudia Oshry]

He's a first Elasti.

[Jackie Oshry]

You're a firsty.

[Claudia Oshry]

Lassie, You're a first Elastie. And I say Andrew Schultz.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay, good.

[Claudia Oshry]

You know people who. You have to say their full name.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like a president or something.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Or like a serial killer.

[Claudia Oshry]

Correct.

[Andrew Schultz]

Totally.

[Jackie Oshry]

It's not Jeffrey. Right?

[Andrew Schultz]

You're right.

[Jackie Oshry]

You're right.

[Claudia Oshry]

Well, I bring up your last name because it's too formal with mass murderers.

[Andrew Schultz]

Right. What is that about?

[Claudia Oshry]

It's too formal. I bring up your last name because it's genuinely shocking that you're not a Jew.

[Andrew Schultz]

Everybody assumes I'm Jew.

[Claudia Oshry]

Do they?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Jackie Oshry]

And to be clear, I did. You listened to what we said about you at the toast, so we don't have to, like, catch you up. But I was, like, accusing you of being a Jew. And you know what? You're also, like, a big friend to the Jews.

[Andrew Schultz]

Love the Jews.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah. No, it's really refreshing to see. I've seen you on a lot of podcasts recently. The Jews are always a topic of combo.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes.

[Jackie Oshry]

And you've been a really good friend and ally. I want to say thanks.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, for sure, for sure. Absolutely.

[Claudia Oshry]

And to be clear, you don't look physically Jewish. It's just the sound of your name.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're the first person that's ever said that.

[Claudia Oshry]

What are you, like, Italian? What are you.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, Italian is usually next. My mom is from Scotland, and my dad is Irish and German. Oh, now I will say.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, so he's German.

[Andrew Schultz]

So there is some family history.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, yikes.

[Jackie Oshry]

Really?

[Andrew Schultz]

Well. Well, it depends how you interpret the history. Apparently, my family, in my German part, on my dad's side is. Was from Prussia. And like they came in like the 1800s, so there's not like a lot of like.

[Claudia Oshry]

So you predate all the action.

[Andrew Schultz]

They missed the action. But one like family member went back there to look for like the Schultz family. And apparently in this little town in what is now Germany, but it was like Prussia at the time. They were like, I can imagine the conspiracy theories already on the Internet, but they're like, yeah. I mean, there was a Schultz family that lived here, but they weren't Catholic. They were. They were Jewish.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, obviously.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but Schultz is like Johnson, but.

[Claudia Oshry]

Is that you or. No, they don't know.

[Andrew Schultz]

They came back to Chicago and they're like, yeah, there was this Schultz family in like this place.

[Jackie Oshry]

So it's a Jewish name where you hail from?

[Andrew Schultz]

We don't use the word hail when we talk about Germany. We try to find another word.

[Claudia Oshry]

So true.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, but they basically came back. They're like, yo, are we Jewish? And like the whole family is Catholic in Chicago. They're just like, I don't know what you're talking about. That was definitely like a mix up or whatever. But anyway, that, that could be where you.

[Claudia Oshry]

Have you ever done, like your ancestry 23andMe, given your DNA to a baby?

[Andrew Schultz]

No.

[Jackie Oshry]

And are you scared now?

[Claudia Oshry]

I am.

[Andrew Schultz]

My wife did it and found out she is.

[Claudia Oshry]

Is what? Jewish.

[Andrew Schultz]

Jewish.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, wow.

[Andrew Schultz]

But she was raised like, Christian and she like goes to, you know, she'll go to church and everything like that. But like, her mom's mom was Jewish.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, so she's totally Jewish.

[Andrew Schultz]

By your guys rules if it's female blood.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

So technically my daughter your child. Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, my God.

[Jackie Oshry]

Congrats.

[Andrew Schultz]

So I gotta protect you guys a thousand percent.

[Claudia Oshry]

Thank you.

[Andrew Schultz]

And they're taking me down too, if they go after you.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah, you're right.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't even get to go to your heaven. How shitty is that?

[Claudia Oshry]

It's true. We have like eight. We have eight different versions.

[Andrew Schultz]

We're all killed. And I just get like, all right, see you later, guys.

[Claudia Oshry]

We're help.

[Andrew Schultz]

Such a good ally, but you can't get in. No exceptions.

[Claudia Oshry]

So Jackie and I were talking before because we watched your special and I feel like actually this is not the first time you came up on the toes. You made news the last time you did a special where you bought back your own special from Netflix. And I'm so curious.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's Amazon.

[Jackie Oshry]

So you're saying how do you go back?

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, like with your tail between.

[Andrew Schultz]

I mean, I've said millions of things about Netflix? Yeah, I said Netflix was dead on Rogan the first time I was on there, and then did a Netflix special with them a few years later.

[Jackie Oshry]

And so they're forgiving.

[Andrew Schultz]

They're forgiving or it's like, you know, you kind of got to be a little mean to them.

[Jackie Oshry]

Oh, they like that?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like a fuck boy to be a dickhead a little bit.

[Claudia Oshry]

When you buy back your own special, like, do you have to give the money back that you got or you have to like, spend more of your own money? Like, how much did you spend?

[Andrew Schultz]

You got to spend more. I don't know if I could legally say how much I spent, but you got to spend more because you got to spend what they think they can make on it.

[Jackie Oshry]

So you make back everything you spent.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

And so we bought it. We did buy Moment House, right?

[Andrew Schultz]

Thank you, guys. Yeah. Moment.

[Claudia Oshry]

You said it was so controversial a streaming service wouldn't pick it up. We were like, I don't. Well, now we need to know what he said.

[Andrew Schultz]

I didn't even think it was that, like, I get it for, like, if you're Amazon, like, you make most of your money selling, like home goods and shit, right? Like, so why would you want to mess up a trillion dollar business on my Michael Jackson joke or some bullshit? So I get it as a business owner. If I was a Netflix or not Netflix, I'm an Amazon stockholder, I'd be like, don't buy this asshole special. Like, it's not going to. Not going to make the company any money, but it's going to lose us money potentially. Now culture's changed. I guarantee if like this happened this year, they wouldn't even bother flinching. It would be nothing.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah. Would you ever go back there? Like, if things I did, like three movies with Amazon.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm surprised you.

[Claudia Oshry]

So you're an actor.

[Andrew Schultz]

Did you not see that? No, I hate acting, but I do it because isn't it boring?

[Jackie Oshry]

Ye. Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

We actually, we had a commercial shoot today. Oh, yeah.

[Jackie Oshry]

It's really painful. Like, I know everyone clowns on actors.

[Andrew Schultz]

You guys have too many opinions to be around actors. This actors is being is like, yes, Queening. Like, they all just hang out with each other. They don't really. They're not really educated about anything and they just say like the kindest, sweetest thing to each other and they will go, oh, yes. You are so right where you girls are like, I don't like gray carpets. Like, you have like, strong opinions about things and you Walk into a room with them, and they're like, I don't know what to do with this information.

[Claudia Oshry]

We do have strongly opinions, strong opinions, but, like, loosely held, at least for me. Like, I will, like, go so hard for a topic, and then somebody will say something, and I'm like, you know, you're kind of right. Yeah, I see that.

[Andrew Schultz]

The last YouTube video I watch is what I believe.

[Claudia Oshry]

Thank you. Yes.

[Andrew Schultz]

I am so easily sway.

[Claudia Oshry]

Like, yes, dude.

[Andrew Schultz]

Especially with kids. Like, I was telling, Like, I would joke around about this all the time. Like, you know, with the vaccine stuff. I don't even know what the hell's going on. I hate that's even a topic now.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, totally.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why did you even give us information that now we gotta learn?

[Jackie Oshry]

No. When I go to the grocery store now, I take my thermal receipt like this. Have you seen those videos? And the heat that prints. The printer that prints a receipt, like, has some thermal. Like, I don't even know if I want to notice disruptors. And I look like an asshole that I don't want to touch what the lady touched behind the check. And I'm like, I just wish I saw that.

[Claudia Oshry]

You don't want to touch what the lady touched?

[Jackie Oshry]

No, I'm fine. I'm literally touching the disgusting shopping cart.

[Andrew Schultz]

You think you're better than.

[Jackie Oshry]

It's not about germs, but now I'm just like, hormone disruptors. Thanks.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. See, this is what we have to go through as parents, right? And then people call us lunatics that don't even have kids. And it's like, once you have a kid, you're a lunatic.

[Jackie Oshry]

No. And it's like, even if one out of the 10 things that they say turn out to be what it is, it's worth the other nine things, even if it's just for nothing.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, it's like, what is that? That stupid thing about, like, not walking under a ladder? It's like, I still don't do it. I know it doesn't mean anything, but, like, I know it doesn't mean anything, but at the same time, it's like, it's so easy to not walk under the fucking ladder. So the same thing.

[Claudia Oshry]

Why would you.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, the hormones aren't gonna do anything if they are there.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

But it's also. I could just wrap my hoodie around it and then have to not deal with these hormone side effects. Right.

[Jackie Oshry]

Just in case.

[Claudia Oshry]

I just feel like I should leave you two alone. Like, you and your hormones, we have a lot in common. Yes.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're both Parents.

[Jackie Oshry]

It's really. What do you feel? This person, you.

[Andrew Schultz]

I mean, it's.

[Jackie Oshry]

And podcasting. Podcasting, like, just makes you, like, curious.

[Andrew Schultz]

This is what I want. Go, go, go, go.

[Jackie Oshry]

And it makes you have, like, strong opinions about things. It makes you just think about stuff.

[Andrew Schultz]

You can't just come on here and be like, everybody makes sense.

[Claudia Oshry]

Right.

[Jackie Oshry]

Things are good and working the way they should.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's like a. Like a reality show. Like, the best characters on reality shows are either people who are hyper aware so they're super insecure about what people think of them, or Kathy Hilton, which is the opposite. Doesn't give a fuck, but, like, doesn't even know what's going on. Like, I'll watch my wife watch the Real Housewives thing, and I'll walk in and there's that scene. She's like, I found out I'm Chinese. And they're like, you can answers through dot com. She's like, no, a person told me in Bangladesh. And you're like, what? And she's like, most of us would say that and know we're being silly. She's completely unaware.

[Claudia Oshry]

I believe her too.

[Andrew Schultz]

And it's amazing.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

So that's what we need.

[Claudia Oshry]

Do you watch a lot of Bravo by Osmosis.

[Andrew Schultz]

By Osmosis, Yeah. And it's so weird. I, like, reluctantly watch it until there's a tipping point. And then I'm like, I got to kind of know what's going on here.

[Claudia Oshry]

Because it's so good.

[Andrew Schultz]

Dude, I bumped into Andy.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, wow.

[Andrew Schultz]

It was at the Sunset Tower in la and he was staying there. And I. I like, I had to stop him. I'd be like, dude, I don't know if anybody's giving you your flowers. Like, regular TV is kind of dead. The only TV people are watching are the shows you made.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, it's like, no, he created entirely new.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah, well, Bravo is sports for women.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. We, like, watch parties. We bet on it. Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's what the gambling companies need to figure out.

[Claudia Oshry]

How women can gamble on, realize it would be over. Or like the Bachelor. 1,000% the Bachelor.

[Jackie Oshry]

I think they do that. They do, like March Madness for the Bachelor. You have a bracket, but there's got.

[Andrew Schultz]

To be someone who knows what happens. So it's kind of like.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah, that's true.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, they send out screeners of the same with NFL.

[Jackie Oshry]

Just kidding. I literally don't even have an opinion.

[Claudia Oshry]

Strong opinions, loosely held.

[Jackie Oshry]

I actually don't even have an opinion on that. Like, I give two shits.

[Andrew Schultz]

I just like, how naughty you thought you were being.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, she did.

[Jackie Oshry]

It was just like, you know, that's what people say.

[Claudia Oshry]

That's what the haters say.

[Andrew Schultz]

You watch one video, you see one tweet, you're like, that's what the world is.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah. You saw that video.

[Claudia Oshry]

Once somebody opens your eyes to it, like, it is a little convenient. You know that? Like, everything happened with Taylor Swift.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

And what's his name? Travis.

[Andrew Schultz]

You realize this exact thing happens to Jews? That's how it happens.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, my God, you're so right.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's one video.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, it's true.

[Andrew Schultz]

One video. People watching, like, on the Rothschild. Exact. Exactly. What? What do you mean? They own the bank, the Fed. What, another one. And then here we are.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's actually a fair comparison.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah. Okay, okay, we'll stop. We'll stop back.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, we'll scale it back.

[Jackie Oshry]

We feel bad.

[Claudia Oshry]

So your special came out, and everybody's talking about it because it's made us all cry. Oh, and I obviously felt extremely susceptible to crying.

[Jackie Oshry]

I had no idea you cried a lot.

[Claudia Oshry]

I was uncontrollably savvy. Now I am, like, super pregnant, but I really.

[Andrew Schultz]

Congratulations.

[Claudia Oshry]

Thank you so much.

[Andrew Schultz]

Do you know boy or girl?

[Claudia Oshry]

It's a boy. Yeah. And I've only gained about 11 pounds, which is amazing.

[Jackie Oshry]

Little basketball.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. Just from the back, people don't even know I'm pregnant. They just say, wow, she's hot.

[Andrew Schultz]

That is the worst stage.

[Claudia Oshry]

Right? So I just saw my weight yesterday. I've been saying. I'm like, please don't tell me it's my first pregnancy. It's like, a lot.

[Andrew Schultz]

Does the exact thing I said, I.

[Claudia Oshry]

Don'T want to know.

[Andrew Schultz]

She says, don't tell me.

[Claudia Oshry]

I don't want to know.

[Andrew Schultz]

She goes into the gyno. Is it like.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. Then they handed me a form, and I don't know why I looked at it, and I saw it right there yesterday, and for the first time, it was really. I don't want to talk about it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Do you want to tell the people?

[Jackie Oshry]

No, no, actually, I already pressed her.

[Claudia Oshry]

I literally. I sent her a text message. Like, I'm like, I thought you were.

[Andrew Schultz]

About to say, I'll tell you her weight.

[Claudia Oshry]

She could say it. It's 105 pounds.

[Jackie Oshry]

I would never. But she told us, like, how much she's netted. Like, that's different than saying, yeah, overall.

[Claudia Oshry]

And I have, like, a long, complicated history, like, with being fat. So, like, it's just been. It's been a journey. But I don't want to talk about me. Right.

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, having said that, I might want to learn about those things.

[Claudia Oshry]

Having said that, I turned on your special.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

You know, to escape, of course. And I had no. I didn't really know what it was about. I just had, like, seen your comedy before, and I thought me and my husband would enjoy it together. And I actually, no, I didn't know that you were sharing about your journey with infertility, so. Oh, we could both.

[Andrew Schultz]

I like to cut fertility.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, you know how, like, when someone goes on a spiritual journey, it's not called an unspiritual journey. Yeah.

[Jackie Oshry]

To become spiritual idea.

[Andrew Schultz]

Or like.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

You name the thing, the goal. It's like a weight loss journey, not a weight gain journey.

[Claudia Oshry]

Hopefully.

[Jackie Oshry]

You name the thing, the goal.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's true.

[Andrew Schultz]

So it's fertility journey.

[Claudia Oshry]

I love that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Our journey to be fertile.

[Claudia Oshry]

So I knew that that was, like, the subject. I thought maybe my husband and I would both enjoy it because we're, you know, we did ttc, you know, and try to conceive.

[Jackie Oshry]

Oh, that's what it's called when you're on.

[Claudia Oshry]

When you're trying.

[Andrew Schultz]

Got. Got that. Period. Got it, got it, got it, got it.

[Claudia Oshry]

So you say, are you ttcing? Yeah, we are. We are.

[Jackie Oshry]

That's just on the Internet, actually. People don't say that. They just say, we're trying.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. Thank you for.

[Jackie Oshry]

That's an important, very Internet.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's a super intimate thing to ask people.

[Claudia Oshry]

It is. It is. That's why I think, like, well, you're not supposed to ask people now these days, like, are you trying? It's like somebody. But in Internet speak, it's like, so everybody knows, like, to stop asking you. I'm ttcing. You know, having said that, I thought we would enjoy it, and we did, but I really thought you just came out of left field and hit us with a bus at the. And I was inconsolably crying. It was a mix of things. But also the editing on that little montage. Shout out, Vala for I already did spoil it on the podcast. It was so, so good.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, he's brilliant. He's super talented. And, yeah, that was a cool thing. That was definitely a cool thing. When we were doing the tour in the beginning, obviously, we hadn't had Shiloh yet, so a lot of the tour people didn't see that part of the video. Oh, and then also, you're, like, terrified, right? Because, you know, like, I don't want. You don't want to jinx Anything. So I don't even want to say we're pregnant in the beginning until it gets to the point where, like, you.

[Claudia Oshry]

Know, the baby has viability.

[Andrew Schultz]

Viability, exactly. And eventually gets there. My wife's like, okay, I feel comfortable with you saying we're pregnant. I'm like, okay, boom, we do that. And then I kind of reordered things. And then the end, I was like, yeah. I just feel like they've been on this journey, and I think that we kind of owe it to the audience to know that it worked out or just to know. I can't leave every show going. And then we'll see.

[Claudia Oshry]

Right?

[Andrew Schultz]

And all these people are coming out like, what the fuck you mean?

[Claudia Oshry]

And then we'll see. What does that mean?

[Andrew Schultz]

And. But I started, you know, and we did the video, and it was like. Yeah, the impact was wild. Like, you get these DMs from people, and everybody's going through it. Like, at my age.

[Claudia Oshry]

Right.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's every feels. It went from feeling like nobody's going through it to, does anybody have them regular anymore?

[Claudia Oshry]

Right, right.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, and it was really comforting.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, you don't feel alone. All these people reaching out, like, going, like, hey, I. I literally haven't told a single person because I'm embarrassed. My wife, you know, doesn't want that information.

[Claudia Oshry]

Are you saying people reaching out to you sharing male infertility or both?

[Andrew Schultz]

Both.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay.

[Andrew Schultz]

Both. Like, I think. I think that women, really. Men appreciated the male infertility part. Right.

[Claudia Oshry]

You don't hear about it a lot.

[Andrew Schultz]

You don't. Because most of us don't even know.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

And if there is any issue, we just assume it's you.

[D]

Right.

[Claudia Oshry]

Thousands of complicated. That's in the special, but it's not 100%. Yep.

[Andrew Schultz]

And you just have never heard a story about it where it was. No. Like, we don't. It also. We can see it. Like, you guys don't. We don't ever see your eggs.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, we see.

[Claudia Oshry]

That's true.

[Andrew Schultz]

You know the stuff. But we don't see the actual egg, but our shit we see. So when we look at it, it's like, well, that looks like sperm, right? It looks. It looks great.

[Claudia Oshry]

And let me. This is maybe a dumb question. Does sperm like yours look the same as others? Okay.

[Andrew Schultz]

You know, I mean, less of it than the pornos, but of course, still looks like it. So it's not like they don't look like they're swimming. They don't look like they look like they're swimming on Any porno.

[Claudia Oshry]

Right, right.

[Andrew Schultz]

So basically, you're just going through this thing. There's no way. And then you find it out. And then when I found out that it was me, it was way easier to talk about on stage. If it was my wife's issue, I don't think I'd be comfortable talking about it on stage.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, I think that's fair.

[Jackie Oshry]

And making jokes.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. Cause it's kind of. Now, don't get me wrong, she bears the burden of this story. And it was something I worked on to. I'm like, I'm not the hero in this story. And I think that was something. I feel like I communicated well.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yes. Like, you put so much of the emphasis. And the part in the special that really made me start crying was like, when you were. You had that scare and you turned to your wife and you were like, I'm so sorry that, like, my shit is causing you all this distress. Like, you're sort of helpless, even though technically it's, like, your medical issue. And she was just like, no, bitch. It's our problem. Like, I loved that. And I also loved how, like, I think.

[Andrew Schultz]

You know, a funny thing about that line is the first joke I talk about is, you know, is my people, when they're like. They say, we're pregnant and say, your wife is pregnant. It's ridiculous. It's insulting to say it. It's like. And I go. It's like when my wife says, we made a lot of money.

[Jackie Oshry]

So funny. So funny.

[Andrew Schultz]

I did the joke there as a juxtaposition with that final line when she goes, it's our problem. So, like, in the beginning, I'm being selfish, right? Like, look at me. Like, oh, it's my. I made the money.

[Jackie Oshry]

It's my money.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's not our money. It's my money. And then in the hardest moment of her life.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

She could easily.

[Claudia Oshry]

She's taking on the burden.

[Andrew Schultz]

She takes it on the pain.

[Jackie Oshry]

She puts you to shame.

[D]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. And it's like she's so innate.

[Jackie Oshry]

It is our money.

[Claudia Oshry]

That's.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, it's not.

[Andrew Schultz]

No.

[Claudia Oshry]

But you're right.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, that is. That is. That is the takeaway and kind of like what I learned through it, which is like, yeah, it is all ours.

[Claudia Oshry]

Right?

[Andrew Schultz]

She's taken on this.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

What? She didn't. She. Not born that way. Like, she's. She's choosing to take on that struggle. So I'm like, all right, then it's all ours. Yeah, everything's ours.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, I loved it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Jackie Oshry]

I think as, like, a lot of what you shared in the special. Like, we feel. And we're. Claudia's pregnant, and I have two kids. And, like, when you go through this time of your life of, like, having kids, you realize how magical it is and how, like, how incredible and, like. And miraculous it is what the female body does. And we, like, talk about. And I feel like, as, like, women our age, we're like, wow. Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

We're always, like, hyping ourselves up.

[Jackie Oshry]

So to hear it from, like, a man's POV with a comedic take is, like, something we've never heard before. And I'm sure also men felt the same. Like, do you feel like the response from this has been so different from everything else?

[Andrew Schultz]

Nothing like this.

[D]

Oh, really?

[Andrew Schultz]

Nothing like this.

[Claudia Oshry]

Like, in terms of, like, I've never seen a special. Like, it. Like, it was really, like, powerful.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah. Just putting, like, such a positive emphasis on family and.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Jackie Oshry]

Child making and rearing.

[Claudia Oshry]

But also my biggest takeaway. Like, I find it really difficult the older I get to watch certain male comedians, because if you're gonna, you know, your. Your life is your father. So that means you're talking about your wife. And I, like, we joke about our husbands. We're so mean to them all the time.

[Andrew Schultz]

Sure.

[Claudia Oshry]

But at the end of the day, I think when people listen, they can tell it comes from a place of, like, real respect and love and thing. Sometimes you hear people talk about. Sure. Morons. Sometimes you hear people talk about their wives, and it's so derogatory. And they always say, like, my wife loves it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

But it's so fucking derogatory.

[Andrew Schultz]

Sometimes it feels angry.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. No. And it just feels like, okay, maybe it's funny, but, like, was this joke really worth it? And I. I liked that it came through that. I know that everything you shared, your wife ultimately approved it. But I didn't think of one joke that she. I would be offended on her behalf for. Like, it was still so respectful. But you're talking about her vagina. Like, you're talking about getting her getting figured at the doctor, which is so true. It's literally so crazy how often you get fingered.

[Andrew Schultz]

Crazy how nobody even tells you that. That's part of the process.

[Claudia Oshry]

Imagine. Imagine literally just a finger in your vagina. I don't have to imagine the pro. The probe.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, the silver shit.

[Jackie Oshry]

Like the transaginal stick.

[Claudia Oshry]

The wand. The wand when they check your cervix.

[Andrew Schultz]

I thought that was a vibrator.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, it looks like one. Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

I was like, oh, okay, we warming it up. What's going on here, Doctor? The wand.

[Claudia Oshry]

The wand. It's so crazy. So I just really, really respected your ability to talk about your wife and still, like, you know, in a sort of kind of crazy sexual way. While ultimately I'm like, oh, this man loves his wife so much.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, I heard you guys talk about that. And I was a really cool takeaway for me that, like. Cause again, as I'm doing it, I'm not going. Okay. The goal here is that everybody thinks I love my wife. I'm like, the goal here is that we laugh at this really difficult time. And I tell this story that people are invested in, and then icing on the cake is maybe people went through something similar and they don't feel stigmatized. But that's not the goal. But that'd be awesome. But I've heard this take also from a lot of different people. It's like, wow, really feels like he honors her or he really loves her. He cares about her. And I'm like, that's cool that that happened without it being the goal, because it means that's how I feel about that person. Because it's easy. We know people that pretend.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yes.

[Andrew Schultz]

And then in reality, they don't. And then I think what you've seen with a lot of comedians is, like, sometimes people marry the person that they think women are, or men are. In other words, like, if they don't like women, they marry someone they cannot like. And they are not even aware of that.

[Claudia Oshry]

Right.

[Andrew Schultz]

And here they are in this relationship not liking them, and it's like, well, yeah, this is what you think of women.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, I love women, so I'm gonna not settle for someone that I don't like.

[Jackie Oshry]

That makes you dislike women.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. Right, Right.

[Claudia Oshry]

But, like, I think you're gay.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, but for real. So it's like. But I think some people don't realize sometimes. I understand where you're coming from. Now, listen, like you said, your husbands are gonna be annoying. You're gonna run them. And like, I've. Some of My favorite comedians have said the most heinous about women. But I. I wasn't looking at them like, they hate women.

[Claudia Oshry]

Right.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's a hilarious.

[Jackie Oshry]

It's about, like, women in general versus your wife.

[Andrew Schultz]

Also, when you. When you make it kind of personal, it's.

[Claudia Oshry]

You have to very sensitive.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're letting people into that life.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

And they're gonna have opinions based on that relationship. Like, just like, if you told me a story about your relationship and that's the only thing I know about it. I'm gonna be like, huh, yeah, that's interesting.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's so true. It's so true. So what's the process of, like, you writing a joke and running it by your wife? You perform it first or you.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, but we have a good thing. We have a good understanding, which is. She's like, listen, if it's jokes, it's good. I. You know, I trust you. I don't think. I'm never trying to make her look foolish. That's not true. She'll look foolish, but I'm not gonna try to make her be. I'm not gonna make her look. I'm not gonna try to embarrass her unless it's for something funny. Like, the other day, my wife, we were going to take Shiloh to the Museum of Natural History, and we parked, like, literally across the street from it, and there's a parking attendant walks by, and right in front of the garage that you're parking, right? Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

You, like, pull up?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes. And I. My wife is doing all the paying for the parking or whatever like that. And I asked the parking attendant, as he walks, I'm like, yo, can we park here? And he's like, nah, you can't park her. And I go to my wife, I'm like, ah, we can't park her. My wife goes, no, we can park it.

[Claudia Oshry]

I'm with her.

[Jackie Oshry]

Oh, no, I'm with. The rules are the rules.

[Andrew Schultz]

The parking attendant is right there.

[Claudia Oshry]

Why would you ask, first of all?

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, because I don't want to get.

[Claudia Oshry]

The ticket, and I love the same price. The ticket is the same price as parking on the street.

[Andrew Schultz]

She's 100. Right.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's actually cheaper sometimes to get a ticket than to pay for a party.

[Andrew Schultz]

My friend. My friend doesn't get a garage.

[Claudia Oshry]

Specifically my husband. We get three parking tickets every single day. We also pay for a garage, by the way. But he's like, what if he's going downtown? He's like, I'll leave it on the street. There's a 50 chance you're gonna get a ticket. Sometimes you don't.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

So then it's free, and then if it's not, you paid for a garage.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. This is girl math right here.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, it's my.

[Andrew Schultz]

My wife is doing a girl math, too, because she's like, yeah, she does this thing. She goes, she has. Ubers are so expensive. Expensive.

[Claudia Oshry]

She's right.

[Andrew Schultz]

They're so expensive. And I'm like, where are you getting with this. Like, what do you mean expensive? And she's like. She's like, for example, like, I got a ticket going to this restaurant, but if I Ubered, it would be more expensive than getting this ticket. And I'm supposed to be like, bravo, babe. Look at you saving us money. Oh, my God. But, dude, when. When the. The parking attendant said that we couldn't park there, and my wife disagreed with the parking attendant who's literally there to hand out tickets, like, he's works for the nypd. I looked back at him and I was like. I was about to be like, can you explain? And he just goes, no, I can't. I'm not getting involved in this.

[Claudia Oshry]

Can I tell you something that you should try?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes.

[Claudia Oshry]

If you're parking in an illegal spot, just like a tip, pass it on to your wife. Like, go find the nearest car that has a ticket, and you take the ticket and you put it in your own window. And the parking guy will be like, oh, I already got this car. And then you move on.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay, but then what about that person who thinks they didn't get a ticket?

[Claudia Oshry]

Not your problem. It's also. They mail the tickets. Like, you get.

[Andrew Schultz]

This is horrible.

[Claudia Oshry]

You also get a. You get a ticket, like, in person, but nobody pays it. They mail it to you too.

[Jackie Oshry]

So, like, in that moment, that person thinks that they crash.

[Claudia Oshry]

For everybody, two.

[Andrew Schultz]

Weeks later, bang, right to your doorstep.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, I'm telling you, it's kind of a brilliant method. Yeah, you. It's. This city is wild. Like, every man for themselves.

[Jackie Oshry]

So true.

[Claudia Oshry]

You can't be worried about your fellow passengers. It's just not. There's not enough time in the day.

[Andrew Schultz]

This is horrible.

[Claudia Oshry]

Whatever.

[Claudia Oshry]

So speaking of our spouses, Jackie and I, it actually happened really naturally. We found ourselves like spending a lot of time being like naggy wives. Yeah, but we hated that. Like we, we weren't.

[Jackie Oshry]

Sometimes you're just being right. You're justifying like a naggy bitch wife. But like, that's what it takes to be wife sometimes.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay, I'm so glad you asked. So be careful because it inspired the paper towels. It inspired like this segment we do on our show called Naggy Bitch wife. Where people will write in and being like, am I justified, or am I just being a naggy bitch wife? And so for me, like, I'm very clean. I love to clean. I love a clean house. My husband is getting better, but he. We were cooking dinner, and then we were cleaning up, and so he sprays the, like, surface cleaner on the counter.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

And he wipes the surface cleaner off with a dish rag, not a paper towel. Which I thought was just, like, dumb behavior. And I'm like, you should switch. But then he. Like, there are certain dishes you have to hand dry. So to hand dry a dish, he'll use a paper towel. Like, he's using them inversely.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

And it got me so mad. Cause I'm like, first of all, it's such a waste. And second of all, like, it's just dumb. Do better. And I was like, am I being a naggy bitch wife?

[Andrew Schultz]

And it.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, that one. I actually feel.

[Jackie Oshry]

I feel like if he's cleaning, he's cleaning. Take the win.

[Claudia Oshry]

The bar is in hell.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. The. Do you remember what his apartment looked like before you guys moved in?

[Claudia Oshry]

We've been together since we were, like, 11.

[Jackie Oshry]

There was one place.

[D]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Do you remember what his room looked like?

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. Filthy. And it's better, of course. But it's been 11 years. Like, we're not pacing the way we should.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay. You know, this is a good example of, like. Like, with. With gender. With gender roles. I hate this little gender. What are we supposed to do? But still, we both do these things that we say we're doing for one another because it sounds noble. Like, I'll find myself even doing. Like, I provide. I protect my wife. Like, as if guys are trying to punch my wife in the head at a bar. Like, when has that ever happened? Yes, I would. I think, depending on the size of the guy.

[Claudia Oshry]

You're not logging a lot of hours protecting.

[Andrew Schultz]

Exactly. But I protect and I provide. As if I wouldn't work if I wasn't married. Like, I was a comedian before I was married. Right. But here's the thing. You guys would be like, I keep this place clean for my family all day, every day. I make a home. You guys are doing it whether we're there or not. You're not doing it for us, just like we're not providing for you.

[Claudia Oshry]

Rebuttal. Though there is more to clean when you live in my house.

[Andrew Schultz]

100%. But here's the thing. We would be fine with it being dirty. You're the only ones that are upset with it being dirty, we would be.

[Claudia Oshry]

That doesn't make it right that you want to live in a barn. Like, it's not right.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's not right. It's not right. It's not right, but it is what it is.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah. Like, you're really doing it for you.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're doing it for you, and you're saying, you do it for me. Just, like, when I go work, I'm like, I'm doing this for you.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's like, no, I'm not being paid by bed. Like, what are you talking about? Shut.

[Jackie Oshry]

This is why we wanted to ask you, because we do a lot of, like, advice stuff on our show. We've had a couple, like, confounding ones. We wanted to get, like, a male opinion because these are just.

[Andrew Schultz]

I have one too that I want.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah, please.

[Andrew Schultz]

Please. Okay. Okay. Okay. So there's this thing that a lot of people have obviously talked about. I'm sure you guys talk about maybe. Icks. Is that like.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah, yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

We're not a big fan of anxiety.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm glad I'm. We're on the same page.

[Jackie Oshry]

Gotten so carried away. It's like, they'll stay with men who.

[Claudia Oshry]

Cheat with them, but not who wear, like, their shirts on top. It's so stupid.

[Andrew Schultz]

So. So here's my theory on it, okay. And we were talking to some of the girls in our office about this. It will take a couple steps to get there. Some you might disagree with, but just let me get there, and I think it will make sense. So he's so. A lot of times a guy in a relationship. I think one of our biggest fears is being with someone that we actually don't like. So we, like, avoid. What is it called when you say you're in a relationship with each other?

[Claudia Oshry]

Monogamy?

[Andrew Schultz]

Commitment. Sure. Yeah. I don't even know the word. Guy gets married.

[Jackie Oshry]

That's actually a good reason for a boy commitment. Because you're scared that, like, it would.

[Andrew Schultz]

Be scared it's the wrong one, and we don't want to be with that.

[Jackie Oshry]

It's easier to get out of something that's, like, not solid.

[Andrew Schultz]

Exactly. Right. Like, some people even ghost their way out of that.

[Jackie Oshry]

Right, Right.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, you would never ghost your boyfriend.

[Claudia Oshry]

Or girlfriend, but ghost if it's a loose commitment. Interesting.

[Jackie Oshry]

I never thought of it that way.

[Andrew Schultz]

So. Whereas. And this is what some of the girls in the office said. A woman's greatest fear is being alone. There's so much familial pressure. And yes, we live in a new day where women have jobs and can do all these different things, but we don't want. You still have.

[Jackie Oshry]

We are who we.

[Andrew Schultz]

And this, like, learn to like, hey, I don't want to be alone. So a lot of times women, because of this pressure to be with somebody, to not be alone, will end up dating guys they don't like. And when you don't like somebody, everything about them is a nick. Wearing a shirt that's untucked is a nick. When you love someone, as I'm sure you guys love your husbands, everything, it's cute.

[Claudia Oshry]

Agreed.

[Jackie Oshry]

When they do something weird, it's like.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, that's so cute because you love them.

[Andrew Schultz]

And you know this about. Yeah, exactly. We might have some issues over here.

[Claudia Oshry]

I'm sorry. We gotta be real.

[Andrew Schultz]

We got to be real.

[Claudia Oshry]

Leaving your toenails on. On the nightstand like, that's it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Emma, Emma, listen to what she just said. Emma's my wife. Yeah. Because I know she's going to listen to this. Emma, listen what she just said. Toenails on the nightstand is a normal thing. We all do. This is.

[Claudia Oshry]

You do that too.

[Andrew Schultz]

My wife was dying laughing from the shower. She looks at the door of the bathroom's open. She sees me organizing my toenails on the nightstand. And she's dying laughing in the shower as I'm putting together a nice little pile.

[Claudia Oshry]

Makes me feel better because Jackie's husband doesn't do that. So I was like, oh, my God. It's like my specially disgusting.

[Jackie Oshry]

You don't want to see his feet. He actually doesn't have toenails.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's the only reason he doesn't do it, because he's done it too much. Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

You collect them and then you dispose of them. You leave them for your wife to clean up.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, I put them under the carpet or something. I throw them behind the bed. When we moved apartments, I threw him behind that. The headboard. And then when we moved apartments, my wife sent me a picture of what the floor under the bed look like.

[Jackie Oshry]

So good for you because it makes you feel better. So bad.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, this is.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's just like my special. We all go through it. No, no, no, no. But yeah. Okay, so this is so the. The take on the it culture is this thing there. A lot of girls are with guys they don't like. They think it's that they have these icks. They just don't like that dude. And everything about them they're repulsed by.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah, that's a really good take. I like for us, we're just like, all this stuff, like, these aren't deal breakers. This, like, it's nothing. You can get icked out about anything. And also an ick doesn't mean you should break up with someone. So if you're just, like, counting all the ways this person is, like, so mean, that's just. You're not going to like them.

[Andrew Schultz]

You're not going to like them. This is not for you. Move out of here. It's done. And you're going to be miserable no matter what. If you're worried if he lifts his shoulders in the rain. I saw that one, and I was.

[Claudia Oshry]

Like, actually, I got to feel that.

[Andrew Schultz]

Stop it.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay, okay, so you guys go, give.

[Claudia Oshry]

Me Jackie's naggy wife. I actually think.

[Jackie Oshry]

Think that this is actually not me being the naggy wife. But I was wondering if I was wrong in this situation because I was having, like, an. A disagreement with my husband.

[Claudia Oshry]

We didn't reach art, and we never, like, take each other's husband's side. Like, I always have Jackie's back, but in this particular.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah, she, like, wasn't agreeing with me.

[Claudia Oshry]

I didn't see what you were seeing.

[Jackie Oshry]

When I'm in the car with my husband, and our kids were, like, you know, doing a weekend outing, and if I go into the console to get, like, a piece of gum or hand sanitizer, I'm in the passenger seat, he's driving.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Jackie Oshry]

And if I take out the hand sanitizer, I'll use it. And then I put it away and I shut the console, and he goes, were you gonna offer me some? And I'm like, can't you just ask when you see I'm using it, if you would like some?

[Andrew Schultz]

Is it. If it's gum, Both you gotta offer.

[Claudia Oshry]

That's what I said.

[Andrew Schultz]

If it's hand sanitizer, it's actually, like, a little micromanaging.

[Jackie Oshry]

Hear that?

[Andrew Schultz]

If it's hand sanitizer.

[Claudia Oshry]

Let's be real, Jackie. You don't even like hand sanitizer. It's always gum.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, it's gone.

[Jackie Oshry]

I like. No, I have a hand sanitizer that I like.

[D]

It's a spray. It's peppermint.

[Jackie Oshry]

And you do have to sanitize a lot. Like, with the kids. I might have just changed a dirty diaper or we came from the zoo.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

I think that, like, pulling out gum in a car is, like, kind of pulling out gum in, like, a classroom.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, you need a passport.

[Claudia Oshry]

You have to have for everybody.

[Jackie Oshry]

I just feel like, if you want some, just ask. Don't wait till I put it away.

[Andrew Schultz]

So this. What I think is this is probably pricking a bigger not issue.

[Jackie Oshry]

I'm not like, yeah, where he just, like, wants me to be like, you want this?

[Andrew Schultz]

I think he wants. I think he might want a little more attention, and he want a little more consideration. And this is an example of him not being considered. Now. I think this happens probably a lot of times when couples have kids is.

[Jackie Oshry]

All the care goes to a child, and you want to be, like, not mothered, but, like, it thought of, we want to be.

[Andrew Schultz]

We want to be mother. It's it. And honestly, every guy, even if we're not aware of it, we do want that attention. But another thing we do also, and something I know is even with my wife is like, I'm so excited to see my daughter. Like, anytime I FaceTime my wife, I'm doing it to see my daughter. And I remember I called her once, and she picked up. She's like, oh, I'm just coming home from the gym. I'm not with Shiloh. And I felt so bad because her reaction was, he doesn't even want to talk to me. He just wants to talk to the kid. And it really made me go, okay. I need to really be putting in time to make sure she knows how I do feel about her. I haven't changed the way I feel about her, but I need to make sure that she doesn't ever forget that. The feelings I had before are only amplified now with the baby. But as you guys know, it's. When you have a baby, it's so exciting.

[Claudia Oshry]

Jackie, is that how you feel when I call you? I'm always just like, where are the kids?

[D]

Yeah.

[Jackie Oshry]

Like, I know when she's calling when just, like, not for me at all. I actually, like, don't even pick up those times if I'm not, like, with them or if they're not available to talk or if they're, like, doing something where I don't want them on the phone. But, no, I don't feel that way.

[D]

Because we talk all day.

[Jackie Oshry]

Like, we. As I feel the love, you know?

[Andrew Schultz]

Got it. Got it.

[Claudia Oshry]

So what's the last thing your wife nagged you about? We're gonna tell you if she's a naggy wife or if she was justified in.

[Jackie Oshry]

But it really is interesting, like, sharing our opinions because, like, both sides are human here, you know?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. It's crazy that. Crazy that women are human. Crazy that women are, as you're, like, shocked like, men are human. Like, when you think about it.

[Jackie Oshry]

Because we say, like, people write in the craziest stuff. Like, this one girl was, like, saying how her husband just, like, pees. Like, he'll pee in the sink in their bathroom. Like. Like, the toilet's free. The toilet's free. And, like, he'll just, like, pee in the sink. And he's like, is that. Am I.

[Claudia Oshry]

She was asking if that was, like, a toenail thing. Like, no, that's not a toenail thing. And we were like, your wife is.

[Andrew Schultz]

Your husband's an alcoholic, and he needs to really figure that out. Yeah.

[Jackie Oshry]

Interesting. Claudia always jumps to, your husband's gay.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. But what was the one. Oh, the guy.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why is being in a sink gay?

[Claudia Oshry]

Something kind of gay glory hole about it. I don't know. Or, like, the girl who he just.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wants because there's a mirror in front of the sink.

[Claudia Oshry]

The guy was like, he really didn't want to show her his butthole. And I was like, oh. Cause it's, like, stretched out. Because he's. Because he's gay.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wait a minute. Why would she want to see his butthole?

[Jackie Oshry]

Some reason she wanted to see his butthole.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like a sexual thing?

[Claudia Oshry]

No, it was like, either medical. Anytime it's ever come up, he's, like, so crazy about it. Like, sometimes you have to see your partner.

[Andrew Schultz]

I showed my wife my butthole and my wife's father my butthole. Within, like, the first few weeks.

[Jackie Oshry]

What were the circumstances?

[Andrew Schultz]

I had a hemorrhoid.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh.

[Andrew Schultz]

I had a little brutal hemorrhoid. And it was just not healing. And I didn't know what doctor to go to. And it was like, no, he's just a plumber. Just. But I figured he'd know about that.

[Claudia Oshry]

I honestly feel like maybe he had.

[Andrew Schultz]

He's a gy. No, now he's a guy. So, like, she basically said she's like, listen, my doctor is a gynecologist. And in pregnancy, this happens a lot with women. Like, you know, there's a lot of pushing. You get hemorrhage. So he would be able to diagnose it if you want. And I was like, yeah, sure. So I went to the bathroom picture. We sent it over. That was the first interaction.

[Claudia Oshry]

You took a picture of your own butthole?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, that was the first interaction I had.

[Jackie Oshry]

That is.

[Claudia Oshry]

Were you on all four? I'm just curious.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, I think I went like this, and I went up.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, okay. Okay. It's probably not a very good picture.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no, it wasn't flattering. His hair all over it. Yeah, I didn't shave. I didn't go. I didn't make sure my booty all looked good for her back.

[Jackie Oshry]

So do you think the guy who doesn't want to show his butthole. What's that about?

[Andrew Schultz]

I think he's just a normal human being, and I think his wife is.

[Claudia Oshry]

Something call for it.

[Jackie Oshry]

Like, an anima.

[Andrew Schultz]

Something in there. Did she do the animas? Like, why is. Why is she.

[Claudia Oshry]

Sometimes you need your partner to give you an enema.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wait, all right.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Tell me about that experience. What is that? Like?

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, I could tell you I've given Ben an enema one time. Yeah, he was really sick.

[Andrew Schultz]

Did you write this? Did you write this question?

[Claudia Oshry]

No. No. I'm not weird. Like, Jackie's very weird. Like, about body parts. Like, I'm not. Like, I'm not really weird. I'm not icky. No. Like, things don't gross me to say.

[Andrew Schultz]

The weirdest thing ever.

[Jackie Oshry]

Like, she's not sensitive.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, I understand what she's saying.

[Claudia Oshry]

I don't know. Like, a butthole's just a butthole. I don't know it. Like, I didn't think much of it. Yeah. And he was really sick, and I was, like, wanting. You know, I'm also, like, kind of freaky. Like, I like popping pimples. Like, I.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, that's a normal girl thing.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. So I don't know. The butthole was just like, let's see what's going on. And I gave him an edema, and he felt so much better. And honestly, I felt like a hero.

[Andrew Schultz]

What'd you put in there? What type of.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's the fleet brand, and it's just a. Like, saline solution.

[Andrew Schultz]

Just saline. Because they do coffee animals.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, no. This is like, if you really wanted know, you squeeze it up.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

And then you have to wait seven minutes, so he's got to hold it in. And you get, like, the worst. It feels like you have the runs, but you have to wait the seven minutes. And seven minutes are kind of, like, hellish. But then after that, it just flows.

[Andrew Schultz]

And he was just loving life, and.

[Claudia Oshry]

He was really grateful, and I kind of saved his life. And I think that's maybe one of the reasons he wanted to marry me, I think.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wait, this is before you guys.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, yeah. It was really early.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, you got to marry that girl.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, 100. Because she knows too much.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, 100%. You got to marry her. Killer. It's a girl that shots something in your. You can't walk around.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, that's to say, sometimes you need to see your partner's.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes, that's fair. That's fair. I mean, you and I have done that, so we.

[Claudia Oshry]

Correct.

[Andrew Schultz]

We know for a fact it works.

[Claudia Oshry]

Did your wife's dad deliver your baby?

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no, no. Didn't. Didn't. We got it delivered here up in. Was a Presbyterian. Yeah. He's out there on the west coast.

[Jackie Oshry]

Okay.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. 60.

[Andrew Schultz]

What is it, 68th street or something like that? 75th.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Presbyterian. It's phenomenal, by the way. I don't know if anybody's planning on having a kid, but like, like, I mean, just, it's an amazing facility. Like, amazing. Like there you can get private rooms and stuff like that. And for as stressful as that experience is to walk in there and, you know, not have to deal with the other people that were also going through it, it was incredible. So nice.

[Claudia Oshry]

I'm glad you had a nice experience.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah. So they just said if I shot it out on seven podcasts.

[Claudia Oshry]

That's nice. We're happy to have facilitated that for you. We really loved the special. It was just.

[Andrew Schultz]

Maggie, I was thinking, what was the one.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes.

[Claudia Oshry]

What is the last thing your wife bothered you about, like, household. Chore wise, you know.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, chore wise. She's not. She doesn't really bother me about that. She's like very great about the. The chore wise. Here's something that I think is. Is. Is good. Is. But I think I would agree with this one.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay. A self aware king.

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, it's. She's. It's like finding. We had a conversation about like, what is the bare minimum amount of time that you. Undivided time that you want from me with me and you and the baby and just me and you. A week where no resentment can build up, where you don't feel like important and valued. What's the bare minimum? And then let's exceed it, but let's just find the floor where, you know, you'll feel valued, important and a priority. Because I think it's very easy, like in entertainment, as you guys know, it's very easy to be like, oh, I got this thing, or there's another opportunity. There's always another thing.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

And like, for example, with Shiloh, like, the goal is I'm with her every single morning and I'm back by 6:00 and I'm there until she goes to sleep. And it's like everything's got to end at 5:45 so I can be back by 6 or 5:30, whatever is that you're telling us.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay, we'll get you out of here.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no. Unless, for example, I'm with her longer during the day.

[Claudia Oshry]

Right.

[Andrew Schultz]

But I don't want to lose a chunk. So if I have, you know, this many hours. But you still gotta apply that to wifey. And so I don't think she was nagging. I think it was like her going, listen, I don't ever bother you about. Where have you ever once heard me bother you about work? 100%. But if you're home and I see you on your phone or doing something like that, that's gonna make me feel. It's actually gonna just make me feel like you don't want to be with me or you don't value the time with me. And I know that that's not the case, but that's kind of what it feels like.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

And honestly, feelings are what matter. We could say all we want about like. Well, here's the data definition. It's like, okay, Greg, this is what it fucking feels like. Exactly. Yeah. So. And. And it just made me go, oh, wow. If I. One, she doesn't ever bitch about work. So why don't we find out the amount of time where she really feels fulfilled?

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Right. And then we're just valued. And then if we go over it, it's even more. And I know if it's under it, I know what that sentiment is. It's not just like this ambient resentment. It's like she's frustrated or feels rejected.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, I don't think that's an idea.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't think. I think it's pretty reasonable.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

At the end of the day, from your pov, how nice it is to hear, like, I just want to speak, like, spend more time with you. Nobody ever says that to me. Like, that sounds so nice. Like, you're amazing, you're funny, we have a good time together. Like, yeah. If any. Like, I don't think that, first of all, that's not naggy at all. And second of all, it has to feel good for you.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes. 100.

[Jackie Oshry]

So what do you guys do?

[Andrew Schultz]

So we schedule it, like, date night. Two date nights.

[Jackie Oshry]

Two date nights a week?

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, it depends. If I'm doing stand up, I'm on the road, that kind of stuff. It's. We usually do Tuesdays when I'm not. Now that it's over and we're not on tour, we do two date nights a week. And then I think come summer, summer will be a Little different. Like, we'll. We'll be out east. So it's like, okay, from this time to this time, I'm doing all activities with her and Shiloh. So we're either going to the children's museum or whatever the. The hell it is. And that's every single day. No meetings, nothing during that time. Like, obviously, it's emergency call me, but we're not scheduling any podcasts or anything during that time. And then two date nights, and then, like, a night out maybe with, like, friends or something like that. And then after that seems like a lot of time. It is a lot of time. But, like, after that, if I'm saying, hey, I'm gonna go hang out with the boys, or we're gonna go out, do this, it's. It's not this.

[Jackie Oshry]

You're choosing to do that over time with her.

[Andrew Schultz]

Exactly. Which it can come across like that. If there isn't, like, an understanding. Understanding, this could all backfire in six months. And I come back on here and go, guys, don't do that. That's an idea. But at least we're trying.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah. Find things and a balance, like a common denominator of what people say is, like, really date night time for yourselves and, like, enjoying time, of course, with your family, but then also each other.

[Andrew Schultz]

What have you. What have you guys like, well, you've had two kids, so, like, what have you learned is helpful.

[Jackie Oshry]

We're really bad about, like, date nights and stuff, but I will say that whenever we do it, like. Like, it's extra, extra special for us. Because also, like, I also don't. We don't go out separately either. Like, we're just kind of home and we'll just like. I guess hanging out at home counts as it does spend together, because it's not like he's going. I guess he actually places pickup basketball.

[Claudia Oshry]

And he does it, like, once a month.

[Jackie Oshry]

No, no, he's like, it's important.

[Claudia Oshry]

He cut his eyebrow last time.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, it's important that we have those things.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, it makes us. And that's the thing that, like, I think sometimes women don't realize, like, we are much better at home and much better to be around when you get out. Yeah.

[Jackie Oshry]

No, and I love that for him.

[Claudia Oshry]

What's your thing? My husband golfs. Like, what's paddle?

[Andrew Schultz]

Not pickleball.

[Jackie Oshry]

Paddle.

[Andrew Schultz]

And I love that. And I just, like, exercise. I get out, I can have some time by myself. Like, I can have my time to just kind of think about, are you good?

[Claudia Oshry]

Every time I play I feel so stupid. I'm like chasing this ball around a box.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, yes, I'm not good, but like, I'm, I take lessons.

[Claudia Oshry]

I'm so obsessed.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, I'm trying to get good. Like, I really want to get good, good, but it's just having a thing to get better at.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, I agree.

[D]

A healthy habit.

[Andrew Schultz]

Healthy habit. I'm not out. And I tell her, my wife. And my boy Jason also tells his wife. It's like, listen, you guys want us to play paddle on vacation? Because then we're not going to be out late drinking, right?

[Claudia Oshry]

If we have a game hurts, this.

[Andrew Schultz]

Is beneficial to everybody here. But yeah, now she gets it. She's like, listen, I don't want you to go do this thing that takes two and a half hours, three hours. But I do recognize that after you do that, that you're just down to do whatever the family wants to do. It's just. You want to go to brunch? All right, let's, let's hit Sedell's. Let's go shopping. If I, like, have a great pal game and win, like, I want to buy her.

[Claudia Oshry]

I was in a great mood.

[Andrew Schultz]

I want to buy her.

[Claudia Oshry]

What's the last thing you bought your wife?

[Andrew Schultz]

A stupid jacket at Chanel that we should return immediately. But I was feeling good. I was feeling good.

[Claudia Oshry]

Netflix special is number one on Netflix. I saw.

[Jackie Oshry]

Everybody's talking about him.

[Andrew Schultz]

So she used to do this? She used to. My wife used to. She went to nyu, probably around the same time you were there.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

You guys might have went to school together. I don't know.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, we were doing a little research on her before we read the People magazine. She went to Gallatin?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. Did you go to G?

[Claudia Oshry]

No, I was in Steinhardt.

[Andrew Schultz]

Steinhardt is the dub watch. What's it. What is it?

[Jackie Oshry]

The easy one to get into it, but it's a focus on education.

[Andrew Schultz]

Education.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay.

[Andrew Schultz]

But you guys were around each other.

[Claudia Oshry]

At the same time. I graduated in 2016. I'm 30.

[Jackie Oshry]

How old is she?

[Andrew Schultz]

She's 30. Oh, you were literally there with Timmy Sham, all three of you guys.

[Claudia Oshry]

Was he there?

[Andrew Schultz]

I think at the same time, I.

[Claudia Oshry]

Like, had gotten a boyfriend. My husband, a freshman year. Like, I didn't talk to anyone. I was like, I have a boyfriend. Get away from me.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, that's what you told Timmy. Shalom. You said get away from the girls, too.

[Claudia Oshry]

I was, like, single. I was like, yeah. I couldn't believe I had a boyfriend. I couldn't believe there was somebody who wanted to hang out with me. I was like, I did not make one friend in college. Like, actually, really one.

[Andrew Schultz]

So you locked in. You were isolated?

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. No. And we got married. Like, we got engaged, like, a month after college ended. Like, that was. It was.

[Jackie Oshry]

He knew, like, her she needed to graduate in order to get engaged.

[Claudia Oshry]

And then.

[Andrew Schultz]

And then you just did that.

[Claudia Oshry]

So if I missed your wife, that was more on me.

[Andrew Schultz]

Not at. No. But anyway, so she went there, and then she went back, got her mba, and then she was working for a while. And then while she was working, she was also doing this thing called Blistered Peppers, where she would do reviews for restaurants, but also do her own cooking and put out these recipes and everything. It was really cool. And she since stopped it, but she loves cooking, and she's so great for you. Fantastic. She's fantastic. And really just loves just food in general. And so for her 30th, I made one of those books, but I made a cooking book based on all her recipes.

[Claudia Oshry]

That's so cute.

[Andrew Schultz]

So, like, she had, like, a website with all them, but, like, I actually got the pictures printed and, like, bound. And that's like, here's this cookbook with all your stuff. And then the last page is like, but my favorite recipe.

[Claudia Oshry]

You've ever made is Shiloh.

[Jackie Oshry]

That's so cute.

[Claudia Oshry]

We love a homemade gift. You also got the Chanel jacket.

[Andrew Schultz]

You know what I realized?

[Jackie Oshry]

Like, this is nice, but can we go to Chanel?

[Andrew Schultz]

No, no, no.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's a little chilly in here.

[Andrew Schultz]

I can't read this book with this AC blasting on my neck. What is this? No, no. But what I've realized with my wife, though, maybe it's her love language is, like, that means so much more to her now. She likes a nice thing, don't get me wrong. She likes jewelry. She likes nothing.

[Jackie Oshry]

She can hold space for two shoes.

[Andrew Schultz]

She can hold space for multiple things. Dude, the coolest thing about Ariana Grande was her calling that interview insufferable.

[Claudia Oshry]

It was it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Right? Like, it was. It was awkward. And then she went out and she was like, guys, I know. So awkward. And then immediately like, oh, you're cool. You're self aware.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, it's.

[Claudia Oshry]

That's nice to see.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's nice to see anyway. But yeah, she just loves those, like, thoughtful kind of gifts. So now my focus is, like, on that, which is a money saver.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, I don't think that should be your focus.

[Jackie Oshry]

A little bit of both. Balance.

[Claudia Oshry]

A little bit of both. What did the jacket look like?

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't know how to get it up for you, but it's like.

[Claudia Oshry]

It looks like a winter coat or like a blazer.

[Andrew Schultz]

No, like that kind of blazer. One that has, like, the Chanel. Cute.

[Claudia Oshry]

Very nicely done.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah, no, it's a nice. It's a nice jacket. Yeah, it's like, kind of up to, like, waist length.

[Jackie Oshry]

I can imagine it. What color?

[Andrew Schultz]

It looks like the Palestinian flag.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, okay.

[Andrew Schultz]

It actually is the print from Chanel that they've been doing forever. It's just that white and blue. No, no, no. It's the black and white.

[Jackie Oshry]

Oh, the hat.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jackie Oshry]

Oh, it looks like a keffiyeh.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's really funny. I was joking with her and then I was like, oh, interesting. They're getting so political over here.

[Claudia Oshry]

That's really funny, Coco.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wow.

[Claudia Oshry]

Coco.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wow.

[Claudia Oshry]

Well, we know you do have to get back to your kid, and we really appreciate your time.

[Jackie Oshry]

We respect Shiloh's time, so we can't.

[Claudia Oshry]

Recommend the special enough. It's available on Netflix. I saw it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Thank you.

[Claudia Oshry]

You know, topping the charts. Congratulations.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, thanks, guys.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's called life. Make sure to follow Andrea on Instagram.

[Jackie Oshry]

And you have a podcast, too?

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, yeah, yeah, I do a few pods so you can check Those out. You.

[Jackie Oshry]

Do you host a couple?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah. So I do one with Charlemagne the God, and then I do one with my buddy Akash and my buddy Alex and my buddy Mark, and that's called flagrant.

[Claudia Oshry]

So you have a lot of friends.

[Andrew Schultz]

We're hanging. We're hanging.

[Jackie Oshry]

They're both the ones.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jackie Oshry]

See, on the charts. Do you ever see us?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes, of course.

[Jackie Oshry]

We always wonder, what if you guys. I feel like you guys are all friends.

[Andrew Schultz]

I feel like you got all the girls, girlies. You definitely got all the New York girlies. So, like, I asked my wife, because I was talking about. I was like, oh, yeah, you know, these girls are. We're talking about the special. They said some really beautiful things, and they. And I wanted her listen, because you guys, you said that, hey, I really honored her, and it feels like I really love her. And I. Yeah, I was like, you're gonna see, right? See, this is what people think.

[Claudia Oshry]

So you should think.

[Andrew Schultz]

And. And. And she's like, yeah, of course. Yeah, I know the toast. Like, everybody knows. So I feel like you got the New York girlies.

[Claudia Oshry]

We have, like, a chip on our shoulders. I don't know if you could tell.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why? What do you think?

[Jackie Oshry]

We're just kind of outsiders. Yeah. I feel like you all hang out.

[Claudia Oshry]

You guys all go on each other's podcasts, and you're, like, away.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why?

[Claudia Oshry]

You know, and we're different. Like, we get.

[Jackie Oshry]

We get why everyone hates us Circuit. No, we get it when we're not.

[Claudia Oshry]

We're not mad.

[Jackie Oshry]

We don't feel like it's personal. We just feel like we kind of, like, are missing out.

[Claudia Oshry]

The next time you guys all get together with, like, the male comedy podcast.

[Andrew Schultz]

Crew, you guys need to come.

[Jackie Oshry]

We need to come. We just meet every time.

[Andrew Schultz]

You guys got a pop. One flagrant. And just, like, we got to talk to the Maggie wife segment. Great idea.

[Claudia Oshry]

Like, they're cool, they're funny, they're beautiful, they're thin.

[Jackie Oshry]

Like, Claudia did the 5K.

[Claudia Oshry]

Like, she really tried. I did the 5K.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes.

[Claudia Oshry]

And by the way, nobody spoke to me when I was there.

[Andrew Schultz]

Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. What if. What if we. What if we let you guys help us with our naggy wife problems?

[Jackie Oshry]

I feel like we could really come together.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. Because you guys might agree on some of the. The nagginess.

[Claudia Oshry]

And we have tried to enter, like, your crew. Like, I. I ran a fucking 5k with Tom and Bert.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, wow.

[Claudia Oshry]

I didn't even talk to Tom when I was there. No, he didn't say hello to me. Okay.

[Andrew Schultz]

This is not.

[Claudia Oshry]

And Bert only said hi to me because I was with Josh Peck.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, wow.

[Claudia Oshry]

I'm telling you, they. They. They see we are outsiders because everybody sees us as such.

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, I think we gotta bring you in.

[Jackie Oshry]

Like, I don't have any mal. Intent.

[Claudia Oshry]

Do you have it, like, the chart topping comedy podcast? Is there a chat without us? No. Like, Joe, Theo, Matt, and Shane.

[Jackie Oshry]

Tim. Tim is nice to us. We love Tim.

[Andrew Schultz]

Tim is great. Have you had Tim?

[Jackie Oshry]

We've meant to. We've been scheduled to a couple times and it just didn't work out. But, like, we know it's hard.

[Claudia Oshry]

By the way, you guys would have a lot of fun.

[Jackie Oshry]

Invites us to stuff, which is really nice.

[Claudia Oshry]

It just. It needs to be said. Like, he. It didn't work out because he canceled twice. Like, we were ready both times.

[Andrew Schultz]

A busy guy, of course, meeting with, like, spies and love him.

[Claudia Oshry]

So funny.

[Andrew Schultz]

He is one of the best people.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. He's the only one who's made an.

[Jackie Oshry]

Effort to be our friend, which really means a lot.

[Andrew Schultz]

I mean, I'm telling you, like, in terms of talking into a microphone and staring at a camera talent few people in history agreed are as funny. And he can do it with nobody else in the room.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's so crazy. Solo episodes. And we rely on each other so much.

[Andrew Schultz]

Dude. Same. All the pods I do is like, there's. The more people, the better.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

And it's funny. When I go on his pod, I almost feel bad because I'm like, I know everybody just wants to listen to Tim, so. And I find myself on the pod even going, why don't you just tell me about the things and I'll just listen. I'll just watch it live, you know, like, I'm here for this too.

[Claudia Oshry]

That's really fun. Funny.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm gonna do that. Next time I go on, I'm gonna do a disclaimer to the audience. But, guys, I just want to let you know, I just want to listen as well. Yeah, yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

You're like attending a live taping.

[Andrew Schultz]

Exactly. I'll just be here in case he needs to take a sip of water.

[Claudia Oshry]

Well, the next time the crew gets together, just suggest inviting those two chubby Jewish girls.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, why about why? Why the crew? Why? I mean, when you guys are in New York, why don't we all just hang, come by the studio. We got to do something.

[Claudia Oshry]

Of course. We just want to be included.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes, you are.

[Claudia Oshry]

The thing is, we want to be invited. We're not going to come. But we want to be invited.

[Jackie Oshry]

Tim invites us. He's going to stop inviting us.

[Claudia Oshry]

Tim has invited us to so many barbecues.

[Andrew Schultz]

Want to not go. That's actually.

[Jackie Oshry]

We just want to be like, no, we're thought of.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, that feels better than being included.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes, yes, but. And then not attending.

[Claudia Oshry]

Well, we're tired.

[Andrew Schultz]

Exactly. No, that is the best. Being invited. And then I like those people that win the Oscar but don't even know.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah, yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Is there anything better than that?

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, Just let the crew know we're available for bookings.

[Jackie Oshry]

And, like, we're open. And we. And we are so proud of what everyone's doing and we're cheering them on.

[Claudia Oshry]

And we love the kids community. Like, we really do. We love what we do.

[Jackie Oshry]

We're so inspired by them. Like, seriously, everyone's really funny. They're crushing in. They get amazing.

[Claudia Oshry]

You know, we don't want to say that, like, we're not invited because we're women, but we're like, literally.

[Jackie Oshry]

I know. That's what everyone wants us to say. We won't say it because I actually don't think.

[Claudia Oshry]

But it does beg the question.

[Jackie Oshry]

I just think that you guys all know each other from the past and, like, from the com.

[Andrew Schultz]

We had, like, I think it's been like a year since we had a woman on the podcast or something like that. And we. There were the, like, the coincidence. The three girls on the Office came for an episode where we were discussing and they're. And they're on. And like, in that moment, we're like, guys, we broke our streak. It's like 52 straight weeks without a woman on the pot. But, yeah, we need to do a.

[Claudia Oshry]

Little bit more things happen.

[Andrew Schultz]

We need more women on the pod.

[Claudia Oshry]

Or just in the group chat.

[Jackie Oshry]

Like, the big ones are males, you know?

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm gonna start a group chat with you guys and nobody from the podcast circumstances market. But I'm gonna say that it is.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm gonna be like, guys, you're on with Theo. You're always. Shane, you're on with Rogan. And it's really just gonna be like, my mom, my cousin. Yeah. Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

Except I have an app where I can look up phone number so I would know that you were lying.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, you're as like a freak.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, it's a good thing.

[Jackie Oshry]

Even like, just as a layperson, like, oh, who's texting me? I forgot their number.

[Claudia Oshry]

Someone from high school.

[Jackie Oshry]

It's called Mr. You don't have to say who's this. Then you can find out.

[Andrew Schultz]

And all of our information is available.

[Claudia Oshry]

You have to pay for it. It's $25 a month.

[Andrew Schultz]

But yeah, I bet you my name won't come. I bet you. I bet you my mom comes up.

[Jackie Oshry]

Search it.

[Claudia Oshry]

Oh, so a lot of times that happens, but I recognize people based on their last name. Okay, I'm not going to ask you for your phone number. Just type your phone number in. Yep. And this is an app I paid $25 a year for.

[Andrew Schultz]

I mean, get. Get a plug for this. Like, you're giving them huge.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, I'm. It's the best app. Okay.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't want to show the camera.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, good call.

[Claudia Oshry]

It says Vander Schultz. Like.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, wait a minute. That was. I thought that was saved on your thing.

[Claudia Oshry]

Why would I have your phone number?

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, wow, that's right. We hadn't texted.

[Claudia Oshry]

No.

[Andrew Schultz]

Holy. Yeah, it should say my mom's name.

[Claudia Oshry]

Or you should get your. Your number privated because you're like a celebrity.

[Andrew Schultz]

How do I do that?

[Jackie Oshry]

Have you had to change your phone number at all since?

[Andrew Schultz]

Dude, my phone number's gotten leaked and like, honestly when people change their number, I think they're being drama queens.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Cuz my phone number got leaked and maybe just no one gives a about me, but like for an hour it was non stop. It like blew up. It was. And then after that it was like.

[Claudia Oshry]

The fans who was calling you.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah, it's just people were watching the pod or something like that. And then, then after like a day or two, it just goes back and I'm Like a day or two of dealing with that is way better than having to text everybody. I have a new phone and it just seems like just such a big deal.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

So I still get messages from.

[Claudia Oshry]

So now that I have your number, I'll start the chat and you could add Joe and I'm gonna add Joe.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm gonna add Tim. I'm gonna add Theo Burton.

[Claudia Oshry]

Tom.

[Andrew Schultz]

Bert Denton. Tom. I read his book Shout out to Tom. Tom's a great guy.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, Jackie did read Tom's book.

[Jackie Oshry]

I don't think he read mine.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, I don't think so either.

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, I'm gonna have a talk about children's book.

[Jackie Oshry]

You should get it first. I'll send 1% book.

[Claudia Oshry]

The one she wrote?

[Jackie Oshry]

Yes, of course the one that I wrote. But I actually have like really strong opinions.

[Andrew Schultz]

Wait, that's your favorite? The one you wrote?

[D]

Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, it's so good.

[Jackie Oshry]

It's so good. Like Dr. Seuss could never.

[Andrew Schultz]

That was a Kathy Hilton moment.

[Claudia Oshry]

It's amazing.

[Jackie Oshry]

It's amazing.

[Claudia Oshry]

That's the best one.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay, what is the name of it? What is the name of it?

[Jackie Oshry]

Camper and the Counselor.

[Andrew Schultz]

Okay.

[Jackie Oshry]

And it's about like a summer camp. Summer camp. And it's about a young girl. So I think Shiloh will really love it.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm. I'm a huge fan of children's books. I love you forever.

[Jackie Oshry]

Oh, my gosh. Can't stop crying.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's unbelievable.

[Claudia Oshry]

You know what's a piece of rainbow fish?

[Jackie Oshry]

Oh, yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why?

[Jackie Oshry]

Communist Manifesto. Have you read it recently?

[Andrew Schultz]

No.

[Jackie Oshry]

You need to giving away all of your personal shine. And like, this fish had special everyone else.

[Claudia Oshry]

And it like, it was. Everybody was so jealous and he had to give him away. Why?

[Jackie Oshry]

In order to be accepted by the group.

[Andrew Schultz]

So the dancing giraffe one is the opposite of that.

[Claudia Oshry]

Okay, what's the story like?

[Andrew Schultz]

I think a giraffe something, but it's essentially like this giraffe. Like everybody comes down to the watering hole and dances or whatever like that. And like, he didn't really know how to do it. He was dancing weird. I forget exactly who it was. But his weird dancing is actually in the end just the way that he reacts to the music and the people really love him. And it's about individual spirit.

[Jackie Oshry]

Your differences are what make you.

[Claudia Oshry]

That's like American Rainbow fish was the opposite.

[Andrew Schultz]

What is it? Giraffes can't dance. Giraffes can't dance. Giraffes can't dance. It's not that you can't dance. It's like you dance different. And that's awesome that you dance different. And you should like, embrace and love that.

[Jackie Oshry]

That's not what rainbow fish is. Take another look.

[Claudia Oshry]

I don't like, take a second. It's really actually bad for kids.

[Andrew Schultz]

Be careful of the. That they ingest.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, sure. Do you know llama? Llama?

[Andrew Schultz]

Of course. Is that bad?

[Jackie Oshry]

Don't tell me that's like llama llama.

[Claudia Oshry]

I think that the mom llama llama, red pajamas. I could call CPS on the mom. She's extremely neglectful. The kid's having a fucking breakdown upstairs. And like, you're gabbing on the phone, doing the dishes. Having said that, like, the kid is definitely annoying. But, like, what if the kid was actually having an issue and mama llama is like just being, you know, a deadbeat downstairs.

[Andrew Schultz]

Have you seen the people that these killjoys that try to say I love you forever is weird when the mom, the ladder. It's like. It's a fucking cartoon, you idiots. Like, we know the mom is being right.

[Jackie Oshry]

Like, she's not really going to do that. When, like, he's holding the mom. Like, of course it's not like, actually having you guys.

[Claudia Oshry]

I actually feel like I'm the person you're talking about.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, come on.

[Claudia Oshry]

I love the book, but, like, what is that bitch doing with a ladder? Like, it was really crazy. And then when, like, the little.

[Jackie Oshry]

I would get a ladder when he's, like, carrying his.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, what. What. What that woman is doing is what we all feel we want to do.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

No, I don't think she's actually doing it, of course, but it is jarring to see.

[Andrew Schultz]

The idea is, I love you so much. I miss you. And literally, if we've heard out our kids were being bullied at school, we would drive in a car to the school, find that fucking kid. Like, you have insane thoughts what you would do in protecting your kids. So.

[Claudia Oshry]

So a ladder doesn't seem like a lot.

[Andrew Schultz]

It's nothing. This is, like, a beautiful act of kindness and love for your child.

[Claudia Oshry]

I agree. I agree.

[Andrew Schultz]

But when you turn that ladder page.

[Claudia Oshry]

I know it's really beautiful.

[Jackie Oshry]

We won't spoil it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Go take 30 seconds of your day and read one of the best books. The second best children's book ever. They can't.

[Jackie Oshry]

With the camper and the counselor. I'll reach out to your team. I'll send a copy.

[Claudia Oshry]

Signed copy. Dearest Shiloh.

[Jackie Oshry]

She will love it.

[Andrew Schultz]

Oh, I love it. I love it.

[Claudia Oshry]

Can't wait to see you in the group chat.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yes.

[Jackie Oshry]

No, send one to Thomas Agura.

[Claudia Oshry]

Of course.

[Andrew Schultz]

I'm gonna send it to Tom. Make sure he got a couple. They got a couple.

[Jackie Oshry]

Oh, yeah, they do.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Claudia Oshry]

Well, we really appreciate your time.

[Andrew Schultz]

Thank you guys so much for chopping up. I need you guys next time you're in the city. I know that you're here, but, like, I. I'll come.

[Claudia Oshry]

We're available.

[Andrew Schultz]

We come up. We hang out.

[Claudia Oshry]

We might.

[Andrew Schultz]

I know you'll cancel, but it will be okay.

[Jackie Oshry]

No, if we actually have something set, like, we would. We're very professional. But when it's like a social thing of.

[Andrew Schultz]

Why.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah. Especially when you can't drink. Like, what's the point?

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. Wait, why? Oh, you can't drink this, and then you can drink.

[Jackie Oshry]

I'm not a big drinker.

[Andrew Schultz]

Really? What's your advice?

[Jackie Oshry]

Oh, these days.

[Claudia Oshry]

Sourdough.

[Jackie Oshry]

Sourdough. Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

What about a. What about a Drug or something like that.

[Jackie Oshry]

Not these days, you know, because I can't be impaired whatsoever when I need to, like, wake up and be a mom. And I can't make my life any harder than it already is by having a migraine or being dehydrated, feeling like shite.

[Andrew Schultz]

Very logical.

[Jackie Oshry]

What about you?

[Claudia Oshry]

Are you a big drinker?

[Andrew Schultz]

No. No, not really. Big drinker.

[Jackie Oshry]

I have a question for you, and then we'll let you.

[Andrew Schultz]

I don't really do it. I don't do, like. I don't like weed or anything. Weed makes me sad. I like the social.

[Claudia Oshry]

So panicky.

[Andrew Schultz]

Really. You get anxiety?

[Claudia Oshry]

I like, I don't smoke pot because I'm a. I'll take myself to the hospital. Like, it's just like, I'm like, this can't be the thing. Everybody's smoking. What's going on? I hate weed.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. Who are these people that get relaxed when they do it?

[Claudia Oshry]

Or like, some people get like, I'm so productive.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's. What are you saying?

[Jackie Oshry]

My question for you, because I feel like we're at certain the similar stage in our livestate with Claudia where, like, you know, you're having children, you want to be present for them. It's different for women because we have to. To like, take time off and do things. But do you find that right now, like, you're maybe doing less or saying no to more stuff, like, professionally 100. Like, do you feel like early fatherhood has Affected your career 100%? Yeah. Okay.

[Claudia Oshry]

So it doesn't look that way. As an outsider, I don't think like.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like this press run I went on was like, insane. But in terms of, you know, but I baked that into what this was going to be. I don't think it's negatively impacted my career in terms of like, oh, there aren't opportunities that I can do. But I think, to be honest, it's like, made everything better.

[Claudia Oshry]

We both say that that's why we love this particular job. Like being content creators and podcasters. Like, I have found our, you know, our numbers went up when I announced that I was pregnant. You get more brand opportunities.

[Jackie Oshry]

Like, there's nothing can relate to you.

[Claudia Oshry]

Not a lot of jobs where you.

[Jackie Oshry]

Can say that you have more to say, you have. You think more and you feel more. And so net net. It's really good for our world. But yes, like, opportunities. There are less things I can do and you have to take time off and.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, but most people can't say that, that like when they got pregnant at their job they got more opportunity, like. And I. That's how I felt.

[Jackie Oshry]

Right. But I was just curious for you in the same industry mostly, but different in new fatherhood, who also, like, wants to be home if you feel the same.

[Andrew Schultz]

I. Probably what I would say is that, like, I'm. I'm not turning down a huge opportunity because I have that privilege being the dad, not the mom.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Where, like, she's not relying on me for sustenance for the first year.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

Know. But I don't put as much time into work.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

I have to be really smart about the time I put to work, which makes you more effective. It also forces you, at least for me, what I hope is, like, to hire effectively. So back in the day, I would just be like, I'm gonna do it all. I don't do it all. I have people way more talented than me helping me with everything. I don't want to, like, take away credit from them, but, like, I'll stay 14 hours. I'll edit this thing with you, then I'll go write that thing, and I'll do this. And, like, you can't do it anymore.

[Claudia Oshry]

You need to delegate.

[Andrew Schultz]

And then you need to do what all these professional shows do, which is you start building out teams and different responsibilities.

[Jackie Oshry]

I'm Claudia.

[Andrew Schultz]

Like, no, for real. I do the same thing that you guys are going through is the exact same thing. But what you realize is once you do that, And I'm not saying we've done that, but once you do do that, you can grow 100x.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah. It will make you better. That thing that you had to do because you were slipping made you better.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. Because you have people more talented than you taking responsibility. Responsibility for these different parts of business. If. If this podcast. If I hire somebody to run this podcast, and that's their baby. And they're thinking about every second of every day. I'm thinking about my baby every second. If they're. If that's their baby, imagine how big that could go.

[Jackie Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

We got to be smart with who we hire, obviously. But, like, what if we get those people that are as dedicated us, but even more talented? Hard to find, but it should be.

[Claudia Oshry]

If it was easy, yeah, everyone would have it. So true.

[Andrew Schultz]

But you got to find those diamonds in the rough. And then all of a sudden, sudden, you see these things grow. Like, I've seen just from people that I've hired. Like this kid who was doing my social with me, Shifty. And we're editing clips. Like, the amount that I can just offload to him the amount of, like, days that saves me.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

What if I could do that with every aspect? Even with Dove, everything that he's done, like, the amount of, like, incoming calls, offers that he people, agents, producers that he's talking to before it even gets to me. Me.

[Claudia Oshry]

That's nice. Yeah.

[Andrew Schultz]

If I was doing it, I wouldn't have any time with Shiloh. Wouldn't have any time. How many more of those people is it possible to find and then grow? And now having a kid and limiting our time actually made us grow 50x.

[Jackie Oshry]

Right.

[Andrew Schultz]

Because it made us be smart instead of, like, bare knuckling. Everything.

[Jackie Oshry]

Everything.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Jackie Oshry]

That's a really good lesson for us, Claudia.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah.

[Jackie Oshry]

Everything that we learned today, I feel like.

[Claudia Oshry]

Like, we need to just, like, jot it down.

[Jackie Oshry]

Remember that?

[Claudia Oshry]

Yeah, yeah, we'd love to, like, say we're gonna do stuff and don't.

[Jackie Oshry]

Practical application of policy.

[Claudia Oshry]

I love that.

[Andrew Schultz]

That's.

[Jackie Oshry]

That's a Kamala thing. That's what she said.

[Claudia Oshry]

Jackie. Jackie was actually extremely taken with this one thing Kamala Harris said on the Call Her Daddy podcast she was talking about, and she said it like this. Practical application of policy.

[Jackie Oshry]

She's really big on that.

[Claudia Oshry]

And so we don't really know what it means, but sometimes you just gotta practically apply the policy, you know? And we find ourselves, like, not doing that, but we really need to.

[Andrew Schultz]

But we gotta. We gotta make an effort to practically. What is it? Pap.

[Claudia Oshry]

Practical application of policy. Oh, pow, pow. It doesn't. It doesn't roll off the tongue.

[Jackie Oshry]

Crap.

[Andrew Schultz]

Yeah. Prap. Yeah. Okay, we're gonna get it. We're.

[Claudia Oshry]

Now we are officially letting you go this time. Unless there's anything else you want us to talk about.

[Andrew Schultz]

Get your paps, guys.

[Claudia Oshry]

Yes.

[Jackie Oshry]

Get your paps.

[Andrew Schultz]
