Sure. She said she was just getting warmed up.

And that’s why the shows need to be 2 hours.

I think she noticed that she was safe with you both at the end.

Perfect timing

I don't believe Keith was being malicious in asking about those touchy subjects, and like how she said at the end, if she doesn't want to talk about something she has every right to refuse. It's a delicate balance, I think if she knew who Keith was before hand she'd know that Keith is just asking questions for questions sake and wouldn't react in the way she did. Though, she has every right to. Tough situation, but eh, I still enjoyed it. Have her come back maybe she'll lighten up a bit

Like some others, I was tempted to dump on this guest for her reticence. But hey, try to imagine being trans in the Bush era. I adored the close of the show with Chemda and it makes me crave a new What's My Name. And if you want to hear a really crappy guest, try Eric Shaeffer.

[Rabbit]

I don’t believe Keith was out of line because she was on the show to promote a documentary where she discusses transitioning. If her next special were just jokes about hot pockets and she’s on to promote that then it would be inappropriate.

You don’t get to ask EVERY comedian who happens to be trans what’s in their pants, which I don’t think Keith does.

Edit: and at the same time she’s not obligated to discuss it. I laughed at her response to “google it”. NAH

[AstoriaGirl]

So wait did she dump her third wife? I feel like I missed something because she just glossed over that but then was like "I'd do anything to get her back".

Okay see and now I'm even more pissed. 20:31 -"Are you comics?" Like did she do ANY research at all on the show or who she was interviewing with?! She couldn't even take the time to listen to ONE episode to get a feel of the show she was going to appear on? Keith and Chemda do all this research on her and she can't even extend the same courtesy?! I'm just at a LOSS.

I found her reluctance to speak about her 1st marriage or even her experience as coming out transgendered (and again only 14 minutes in) was really off putting. Why would you come on to a comedy talk show, knowing that we're gonna want to discuss your history, but then say that there's topics (that you already mentioned in the documentary) that aren't up for discussion?! Based on the comments above, seems like the show takes a turn that may explain her reluctance, so I'll listen on, but yeah. I disliked her attitude so much, I had to come to the forums to see what's doing.

I know Keith has evolved past some of these questions but I thought it might be valuable to drop information from Marissa McCool, a trans podcaster who is much more understanding about a variety of questions.
