Great conversation! I love both of y'all.
Hey Beth, as a 65-yr-old straight white male I want to say:
1. I've never heard you say ANYthing that sounded "anti-male"
and
2. Whatever crap is said about us is generally well-deserved
Peace, Love, Laughter!
✌❤😂
Beth RULES. Huge fan.
Hell yeah Beth! Discovered her albums on Pandora back in 15'. Watched her newest Netflix special the day it was released, then found she was performing locally at The Den the next night. Best impulse buy ever. Lol
Love Beth. These field hockey insights are extra funny surprises.
Love Beth, soooo funny. Papa's getting ripped? Those arms....
❤ Bethy!
BTW, I think Jim Brewer is sad too.

Always captivated by Beth, shes so funny and so attractive, absolutely destroys me. who needs a drink? jeezasss
Great interview! Beth is adorbs! Tom: please try an eye vitamin formula. So many good ones. I have had great success. 😍💚💚
Was Tom referring to Wheeler Walker? around 1:11
Beth. OMG… holy crap dude. Big fan of all you do💖
Side note:
You are the first person I’ve EVER heard mention the ‘granule bleh bleh whatever huh’ on the feet!! 😅
So, I’m not the only one??
Oh thank God😓 I’m sorry…not celebrating you having it-just such a relief to not be a freak of nature.
Have they said if it goes away??
The VA (I’m a vet) Derm doc literally pulled up f%#king Google to show me a pic🤦🏽♀️ and said, ‘no one knows’ 🤗
WTF
Please bring the comedians on!
Beth är bäst.
Beth is amazing. Been a fan of hers since I saw her on Kimmel's show in 2015.
I just saw Beth last Saturday. I have been watching videos nonstop since.
I hate all those so-called financial advisors who tell people to forgo coffee or some little item as supposed financial wisdom. They're grifters who prey on people's insecurities.
I have a financial advisor book, buy it!
I am trying to find the book you talk about in this clip. Can you post a link please? Sorry to ask.
BTW salami n cream cheese is da bomb!
Beth is such a babe! Awooga-wooga!
$100 dollars a month for 40 years would be more like 100 grand and it will be worth about 30 grand in today's money.
plz this is a compliment if not reductive. Lady Gould
Nice episode; but sure miss Keira for belly laughs…
