Just the emotion of it.
Im just anxious for this release.
I just think everyone really came together and made four incredible episodes.

I hope that people like it.
I remember going to cohost that, and we were both like, Wow, this is crazy chemistry.
We have a lot of really good chemistry.
We just had a really good time.
HBO was just like, We just want2 Dope Queens.
We were like, Are you sure?
She was really great.
Talk a little bit about working with her.
Tig was great because she brought a completely different energy.
She could catch certain things that we didnt.
And shes just a friend of mine that Ive known for a few years now.
Shes been nothing but wonderful and so smart and kind.
She was really smart about giving suggestions while also doing our thing.
The show maintains the podcasts intimacy and that feeling of being right there.
or Hey, Sarah Jessica Parker, do you want to talk about your TV show for 15 minutes?
I think we were able to do that.
She knew our lives and personalities.
And we had awesome producers on our show who had been working on the podcast since day one.
We had the same old familiar faces.
We just had more money involved, which is always nice.

PHOEBE:It was a seamless transition.
So: camera blocking, doing walkthroughs, that sort of thing.
But we really tried not to over-complicate the process.
To connect with someone, you really dont need anything other than an open heart and to listen.
You always feature up-and-coming comics, and people watching might not know them.
Theyre not necessarily on the late-night circuit or household names.
Which is not a scary journey at all!
Thats kind of the pinnacle of comedy for certain standups.
They all killed it, so Im really proud and happy for them.
Its about seeking out talent and pulling those people up with you.
Thats the main one: Oprah and Gayle.
Oprah and Gayle forever.
PHOEBE:Im a huge Oprah fan.
As a kid, Id come home from school, Id watchGeneral Hospitalat 3, and thenOprahat 4.
Another dream guest maybe would be Joe Biden.
I think hes really funny, and I think we would have a lot of fun with him.
Itd be a ball.
