KH: I think it’s the attitude you take while you do it. For us, it’s empowering to be funny. And it’s empowering to be really honest and let the reaction be what it is.

 

CF: Especially in comedy, as soon as you start talking about sex, it’s easy for people to be like, “Oh you’re that comic.” Which I say onstage: “Yeah, I’m that comic.” But if you have something new to say on the topic, which I think Krystyna and I have both proven that we do, then people will listen.

 

TSF: I always wonder if talking honestly and openly about sex from a woman’s perspective is enough. Do you feel pressure to do more now that the podcast is so popular, especially amongst young girls?

 

KH: I think that’s the most you can do, honestly. I’m not trying to go to schools and tell kids what to do. I mean, honestly that sounds kind of fun and I would like that, but our main objective in our careers is to be successful comedians. So, with whatever subject we’re talking about, as long as we’re doing it honestly and putting an interesting spin on it and bringing our own perspective to it, then that’s good for me.

 

CF: Certainly, there’s always more you can do because the world’s always going to be such a fucked up mess. Especially sexually. We’re such a progressive society in most ways, especially in America. But we are repressed as fuck [sexually] and it’s disgusting. Is there more I could be doing? Sure, I could be going to low income towns and handing out birth control and condoms, but, like Krystyna said, we’re comedians. That’s not the life I’ve chosen for myself. When you’re a comedian, your strongest tool is your voice and your message, so I think the only thing we can do more is to learn more about it, meet more people, write better material, and keep talking.

 

KH: Yeah, I think one thing we’ve both been doing differently is keeping up on the news, with what’s going on politically with women’s rights and gay rights and just trying to be in touch with what’s happening in the world.
