Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Oh my God, no, thank you for having me. I'm so excited to be here. Also, my relationship with Usher was my mom's best friend growing up, was like sickly and sexually addicted to Usher and would talk about him constantly. Yeah. So whenever I think about Usher, I always think, oh my God, Joanne's man. Yeah.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
She came back from Vegas. No, I mean, he's hot. Usher is hot.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm nervous. Wait, tell me, what is it? What's the difference?
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Do I talk shit? Because that answer is yes. Um... And actually, you know that I take it back. I like am a hater. I really am. I think because I hate almost everything that other people do and it bothers me.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Yeah. I love what I love. And I love that with my whole heart. And there are certain people that I would, you know, obviously die for. But yeah, everything else, actually, I do hate.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I love it. Oh, my God. Girl talk raised me. It's the only thing I know how to do. Girl talk is, like, how... It's, like, ruining my relationship with men because they don't know how... I, like, didn't have any male friends until I was, like, 25. There's, like, so many things I learned about, like, talking like a girl that I had to, like, stop doing with my male friends.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Like, something that men don't do is when somebody walks out of the room, you don't talk shit about them. And...
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
No, they just go like, they just leave and they go like, oh, happy he was here. Or they have like no comment where like I'm used to like a girl walks out and you kind of all look around and be like, can you believe that she brought potato salad? Like she knows that I'm allergic to raisins.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
They don't know each other well enough to talk shit about each other. Like... We are friendships. We like, I, my best friend could be in the room. She's acting weird. I know she's acting weird because her and I were having gotten into a huge fight and she always acts like this and she's done it for 15 years.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
So when she walks out of the room, I'm like, you know, this is her issues with men and the way that she lives her life. And like, this is bothering me because she's now affecting my life. A guy could, men like, not to be dark, but like kill themselves. And all their friends are like, we had no idea he was going through it. It's like, yeah, cause you guys don't talk.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
No, I have like severe ADHD. And so the, if I was a girl thing is something that I've been doing with my friends for years. Like, and it was always my friend's favorite bits. Like girls, I would see a girl do something and I would either be like, oh, if I was a girl, I would do that or I wouldn't do that. And I would kind of do like a little thing for my friends and they would love it.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
And then one day I was like, I should put it on socials. But no, when I'm doing it, Like, the first video I ever did, it was, if I was a girl, I'd flush my tampons down the toilet. And it was because every time I walk into a bathroom, it says, don't flush anything other than, you know, toilet paper. I would think, oh, if I was a girl, I would flush my tampons down the toilet.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I know that's about me. But I did come up with the phrase, and then, like, the initial, you know, premise, and then everything else is just improvised.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
And then I look at my messages to see what girls are begging for their names to be used. They send me hundreds of messages, please do a Claire. And then I just don't say anything and I grant their wish.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I'd probably get more traction if I did reply comments doing their names, but it seems like so much work to do that that I'm like, I'll just pick it and do it. Or if girls come to my live shows and they ask for their name, I'll do it there. But other than that, no, it's all improvised.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
My favorite girl, I did one, it did really well. I did this girl named Sierra and she smells her boyfriend's dick when he gets home late.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I think that one's my favorite. I also do love a girl named Veronica who goes by Ronnie. You know, things like that.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I liked like hard stances. You know what I mean?
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
You know what's funny? I mean, like, I literally... You know what? I was just, like, a fat gay kid for so long that, like, I was like, well, nobody wants to fuck me. But everyone's always laughing. And then I became obsessed with stand-up. And I was like, well, I was working at, like, a gas station. So I was like, well, I would love to do stand-up. And then I just kind of started doing that.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
And then once I started doing it, people's reactions have always been like, wow, you're, like, pretty good at this. And then I was just like, oh, I guess I must be naturally gifted. Yeah.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Gifted from the God. One of the chosen ones. God didn't give me a good body, so I had to learn how to make people laugh.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I wasn't. I thought you were going to bring up her arrest video where she was like... One of my favorite videos.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I'm an American citizen on American soil. Thanks.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
You know what was great about that is that she got that video. And I think within 48 hours, she was on a daytime talk show with her brown hair being like, I have police officers in my family.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Oh, I just watched Sweet Home Alabama for a game. I think one of my favorite movies of all time.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I think every day this week I've looked in the mirror and said, what, they run out of soap down at the Piggly Wiggly since I left?
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I love white trash. It's like my favorite thing. You know what's so funny is that the girls come to my shows and they'll be like, please do a black girl name. And I go, no. I'm like, there's no way I'm going to do it. If I was as a white guy starting to do like black girl, Latino girl content, I go, no, drew a follow will rip me up. I don't even know her. And I'm scared of her.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I did. Yes, I was at every sleepover. I did not have male friends until my 20s. So I always joked that I was like socialized female. Because it was like, even the teachers when they like, remember, they would like separate us by the gender. They'd be like, hey, we're going boys over here, girls over here. Dylan, you can hang out with the girls. Like, I had no male ally.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Yeah, so I just thought, I actually had the realization where I was like, oh, this year, in the last year, that I was like, oh, I'm different than other gay guys, not to be like that.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Because I thought we were all kind of like this, and now I realize most gay guys, you know, they start with girls in high school, and then they go to college and make a bunch of gay friends, and then drop all of their girlfriends, and then they just hang out with each other. Yeah. I went right from my small town, lived there until I was 23 with all of my girls.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
And then I started doing comedy and just became friends with more girls and, like, straight guys. So I never had that, like, drop-off period. But yeah, no, I mean, that's just how all my friends back home talk. Yeah. And it's great because it's always like the secrets and like the you whisper things.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
And it's all like you're talking behind people's backs, but it's also like coming from a place of love. I just think the way women communicate like that in secret behind men's backs is like so funny.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I'm from small town Massachusetts, the Berkshires.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I'm from two towns over from where Dorinda is from. We used to swim next to her house. It's called Green River.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
No, never seen her, never saw her. But the first time I was ever written about in a magazine, she was on the cover. It was the Berkshire County magazine.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
they'll send like, I hate to say this. There are some girls that are like, here's my life story. I think it'd be great for if I was a girl. And then you read it and you're like, honey, this is nonsense and makes no sense. So no. Also, they're not fun when people want me to do specific ones. Like I was on Cameo for a while and people wanted me to make tailored ones.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
And I was like, this is like way too much work for like, 28 dollars oh my god i forgot about cameo yeah yeah i can't do it i also it's like not fun for me unless i'm making it up if you want me to do like hyper specific situations it's boring i will say on my podcast they send in crazy relationship stuff where i go like did you read this email and still think he's the love of your life and and
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Every guy, they're always like, he's the love of my life. I'm like, you just said he has a five inch penis and basically hits you. What are you talking about?
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
No. Sorry, I'm dark. I should have said that. No, no, no.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Same. Actually, mine was a doctor diagnosed.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Oh my God, I'm 2012 too. That's why we're deeply connected.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Yeah, yeah. I'm deeply connected to anybody. It's me, you two, Phoebe Bridgers, and Maggie Rogers. And what a great group to be a part of.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
But my stepmom bought me an eighth grade DVD, like, full season of the 1994 show, My So-Called Life.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
And that is, like, telling the story of, like, a 14-year-old girl going into her freshman year.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
And she's, like, dating Jordan Catalano.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
He was also... Also, another one of my favorite shows, Felicity was in that. He played a rapist.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55

Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I know. Well, you know what it is? Did you guys watch Grey's Anatomy?
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Oh, good for you. I respect that so much. I stopped during the COVID season, but I will start again because I will finish it as someone who... You know, I'm just mad at Shonda Rhimes regardless because she said the show was going to end with Ellen and now Ellen doesn't want to do it anymore and they're still going on for money, I'm sure. But... I love Meredith Gray.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
She's probably like who I relate. Meredith and Christina is probably like my favorite people to ever be written. But I love that tattoo because it was like not really necessarily about being like, I'm in love with you and I want you to date me. But it's like that was seen like Meredith is very repressed and never talks about her feelings. And I love that.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
It was like her being like, all right, fuck it. I'm just going to actually say what I want for once. And that's what the whole speech is actually about. And yeah, I love that. So I got it tattooed on me. And it's like iconic.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Happy Pride month. Absolutely. Also, my favorite movie is Practical Magic.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I'm devastated I'm not a part of the second one, which I have no claim to be a part of it, but I'm devastated that I'm not.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
and me and I'm in the room with you two being like how do I get involved I'll play a candlestick like shit yeah okay what are your favorite names and do you keep a list of names in your phone to go to no I'm like really bad about that like I think I think I've done a Claire before and I did another Claire yesterday like I forget and I'm like the I'm like such a type B person there's I literally just go through my DMs or sometimes I'll just look up like girl names like
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
totally no but no there's no organization whatsoever in my life um it's everything's like i'm like a bad serpent that doesn't write anything down i'm like got it all up here don't you worry and then i'm just making mistakes but favorite names i like i said veronica who goes by ronnie i love girl names with boy nicknames that's probably like yes yes like a charlotte charlie yeah or andrea andy yeah q oh wow
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
But I did say if I had daughters, and I don't want kids at all, I would have three daughters, and their names would be River, Lake, and Rain.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Tate McRae's interesting because it's like she's blowing up, but we don't even know who she is because I actually don't think Tate McRae knows who she is. I think she's incredible, but I think Tate McRae in five years is going to be epic. So she's a girl who hasn't gone to her full power yet.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
God, I mean, Chapel Roan, I, like, I hate to be like this, but I was, like, somebody who was listening to Chapel Roan, like, four years ago. And so, yeah, so to me it is a little bit of a sore subject. But Chapel Roan is... What am I supposed to say? Not handling fame well? I mean, I... I don't know.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I respect her so much and I respect that she wants her privacy, but I go like at a certain point, honey, you made a deal with the devil and it's over. You got to pay up. Yeah. Privacy.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I don't know. I like Sabrina Carpenter is like the most popular girl at school that you're kind of like, what's happening?
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
No, you know, like, I like Sabrina. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know her personally. And this is no shade to Sabrina, but you know when, like, when you were in high school and the girl who was, like, super popular and you're like, yeah, she's pretty, but, like, why is she the leader of the group?
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I love her. I love her, but I'm like, you know, I'm not gonna, I am not gonna jump in front of a car to save Sabrina Carpenter.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Oh, I would, like, cause a 10-car pileup to save Maggie Rogers, on the other hand.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I'm basically working for Maggie's team at this point.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
She's incredible. But she, she's made great albums. I love Maggie. I just there's to me, I just like she's my number one, you know, that person that sings for you. And you're like, Oh, this is me.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Also, she has an incredible voice. And nobody ever talks about that.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I'll tell you this right now. When we get off this, you listen to In the Living Room, her newest single that just came out, and off her album, If Now Is Then. And tell me those don't make you feel a certain way. And those are her two very new songs.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Oh, gosh. Maggie Rogers is like... Gosh, she's like that girl that's not the most popular girl at school. But then... I always joke that Maggie Rogers is like...
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
normal girl aesthetic and then you really but like if you stare at her for too long you're like oh my god she's the most gorgeous talented person in the entire world she's like a secret like took the glasses off yeah yeah oh my god banger yeah yeah i like that um and then okay last one lana del rey
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I would never speak ill of Lana Del Rey, nor did I think I've answered a single one of these questions correctly.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Here's what I'll say about Lana Del Rey. She's gorgeous. She's talented. I have never identified with her or her music simply because of this. You know how there are certain girls that guys just, like, love?
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Like, Lana Del Rey is one of those girls that, like, I have a friend, Eden, back in Portland, who is, like, gorgeous, but I've, like, literally watched guys, like, jump out of their moving cars to buy her, like, a coffee in the morning. Like, Lana Del Rey is like that. Like, guys die for her. She's, like, effortlessly. I'm not like that. I'm like Taylor Swift. You can feel me trying, you know?
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Like, there's no allure to me whatsoever. Yeah.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Oh, number one, they're definitely cool girl names. That's the thing. A girl named Hunter, I'm not going to be honest, has the ability to bully you into an inch of your life.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
And Peyton isn't going to do it by herself, but if she's standing next to Hunter, you know she's throwing a couple, that's right, in there. And
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
I love, no, Peyton and Hunter, those are very cool girl popular boarding school names where you're like scared.
Lemme Say This
Tom Cruise's Killer AI (with Dylan Carlino) | 55
Oh, tax, you guys are giving, you guys are giving rich to me.
