Chapter 1: What is the concept behind Amy Poehler's new podcast?
Hey everyone, this is Amy Poehler. This is the first episode of my podcast. Thank you for being here. I like to be five or six years late to any trend. It only gets better from here, or it only goes down from here. I don't know. We'll see. I just want to make it clear. I am not an expert. I'm not a therapist. I'm not here to change your life. I don't care if you get any better.
I don't have advice for you. I just want us to have fun and lighten up a little. And I don't know. I want us to feel like there's a way to have laughs amid all of the craziness that is life. So if you're listening to this while you're working out or folding laundry or maybe you're sitting in your car avoiding your kids –
Maybe you're listening to this, I don't know, in your in-law's basement next to the Bowflex machine and it's Christmas and you're questioning the choices you've made in life. Whatever it is, this is a show here to have fun and make you laugh and I'm not here to judge. Okay, so my guest today is Tina Fey. Tina is my wife, really, in life.
She is my comedy partner in many ways, and she has... You know, I talk about it in the podcast a little bit, but she has been... Along this journey with me, we've really experienced a lot of things together at the same time in life. Sometimes I feel like Tina and I are kind of a group with two members. And we've had a lot of parallel things happen at the same time. kids and TV shows and career.
And we're lucky enough to still like each other and want to tour together. So we're going to talk and hang out. And like any good hang, you want to make sure that anyone's invited. So without further ado, here are some of my fave people, Seth Meyers,
Fred Armisen, Rachel Dratch, and Zarna Garg, a great stand-up and friend who's been joining Tina and I on the road, and see if they have any questions for Tina, anything they think I should ask her. And honestly, I just want to check in and see if they think this is a good idea. This episode is presented by the Toyota Grand Highlander.

Chapter 2: Who are Amy Poehler's guests in this episode?
I just know from knowing you that whenever you ask people questions in real life, you really are interested in And you're just on like the cliff of like giving a hint as to what your opinion is. Just not too much, but just enough. So like it's really it just draws you in. So there's no advice. I'm just like every time you ask me a question, like, oh, I think Amy's really asking me a question.
Is it is it that sounds kind of leading the witness a little bit?
No, no, no, no, no. It's more like this is going to be a fun conversation. So, for example, this is not a real thing, but you'd be like, so you really like landing in London? Like that's like a good airport to land in? And I'm like, oh, this is about to be a conversation about...
what I think you're very good at not letting sometimes you help turn people away from the negative narrative that they might want to lay out to you so you're really good friend and that you listen and I think you can tell when people just need to like unburden themselves or something but I feel like more than maybe anyone else I know you're very good at saying can I invite you to look at this a different way
May I offer you some feedback?
Not even feedback. It's more like I just, you know, it's not like this is how you should. But, like, you're telling me something and I see how you're seeing it. But, like, can I just ask you to maybe see it this way where you won't be as hard on yourself and you won't be as sad about it? I don't know. I feel like you've always been very good that way.
Thanks. But, you know, you don't. You have like a regular voice that you're not using right now. Do you want to do your real voice?
Oh, yeah, I'll do my real voice. Hey, guys. Oh, it was so hard to do my other voice. It hurts, right?
Yeah, it hurts.

Chapter 3: What makes Rachel Dratch's podcast entry unique?
or learning or trying to teach Beyonce's homecoming dance break. So either someone who can do it, or I love it when it's a person who you don't expect them to be able to do it, and then they do it. Like they're holding a laundry basket. Yeah, so they're a mom in their laundry room, and then they do it. I have tried to watch tutorials to try to do it. I'm not a great dancer, and I...
I know that if I was given from now to the end of my life, I could not learn the first 16 counts of that dance. Yeah. But I love watching people do it. And then the other day I was watching a whole bunch of people doing it and it took me – one guy was like a really –
beautiful ripped guy in like shorts no shirt doing it and I was like oh this is a new layer of this and then the algorithm was like oh you you watch that so you just want to see videos that are just like hashtag rugby build and it was just like oh yeah guys with a rugby build and I was like I think I do want to watch this.
Yeah. Paul Meskel started that. Like, he's the ultimate famous rugby bill.
Okay.
And then have you seen in rugby where they have to pick each other up with their underwear? No, so in rugby, there's a move where the men, to get the other one taller... You know, like to basically, it's almost like if you're hoisting somebody up. Yeah. They grab basically their shorts and underwear.
So weird.
And then that's how they get it up. And there's videos. And I'm not saying that my algorithm has necessarily taken up on this. But I have seen them enough to now I do get them. Where men grab each other by the waist. It's very feminine. It's actually like. Balletic. Yes, it looks like a lift. Yeah.
But they grab each other and lift each other up and then their penis, their dicks are right in the line of their face. But it's totally fine. I mean, it's fine either way. Of course it is. I just mean that everyone's happy. There's no, everyone's doing exactly what they want to do.
