Retweeting Chris D'Elia

The door was locked in the guys and I was like, oh my God, I got to go. So I went in the girls bathroom. A girl came in and said, did anyone, did anyone see a guy come in here? There was like a little, uh, narrow area where I could see out and she looked right at me.

Young Hollywood

What's up guys? Nicky Novak here in the Young Hollywood studio with Whitney star, Cristela.

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

Yeah, hey, how are you?

Young Hollywood

Good. How are you?

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

Good.

Young Hollywood

Are your jeans clean?

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

Uh, I've not, no, I've worn them since. Have you washed them?

Young Hollywood

The reason I ask is because in an episode

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

Oh, you don't ask all your guests that?

Young Hollywood

Then No.

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

Oh, okay.

Young Hollywood

It's actually because yours look really dirty.

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

Yeah, rips.

Young Hollywood

Uh, I just yeah, no, we did an episode about, uh, how men don't wash their jeans, which I think is kind of universal, although maybe that's now mind it. Maybe guys do wash their jeans, I don't know.

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

I think women are worse than men to be honest.

Young Hollywood

They don't wash their jeans?

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

I think women, you you think women are cleaner than men, but if you've ever been in a women's bathroom, which I don't know if you have,

Young Hollywood

See, uh, plenty of times.

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

Yeah. And I've been in men's bathrooms, and they tend to be cleaner. One time I really had to go to the bat, I probably shouldn't say this, I really had to go to the bathroom and I ducked, and I ducked into the, this restaurant, and I, I, the door was locked in the guys and I was like, oh my God, I got to go. So I went in the girl's bathroom. And I went for a while. I was sitting there and a girl came in and said, Did anyone, did anyone see a guy come in here? And I was like, oh my God. Like I can't believe the one time I would do this, that somebody would catch me. Like

Young Hollywood

Weren't you in the stall?

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

Yeah, I was in the stall.

Young Hollywood

Did you put your feet up so she wouldn't

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

I I was doing like this. Yeah. I was doing like this. And then, and then I was, and then she said, and so she said, did anyone see a guy come in here? And I was the only one in there. And so I was like, I have to, I was like, do I go like, do I put on like a chick voice and be like, No. No, but that's so obvious. So I was like, maybe I'll just be like a manly chick, like, no, you know. But that's so not chick. So I I there was like a little, uh, narrow area where I could see out and she looked right at me. And I'm doing this and I saw her and, and and I was like, oh, I'm caught. What, like and I can't move. Like if the authorities come in here, I I got to be like, okay, you guys can arrest me, just wait wait outside for real. But so she looks at me and she and and then she and then she says, did anyone see an iPhone in here? And I thought that she said, did anyone see a guy come in here? Because I was so nervous. It was actually, I actually, I my brain tricked myself because I was scared. That that's what she said. And it sounds like iPhone, going back to what we were talking about.

Young Hollywood

Going back to what we were talking about before. He's a BlackBerry user. So it couldn't have been you.

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

No.

Young Hollywood

So Whitney's doing really well?

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

Yeah, it's doing well. Yeah. That's Alex. They're messing with us. I can't Oh. Hey guys, what's up?

Young Hollywood

And you guys knew each other before?

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

Yeah, we knew each other, uh, I've known her for like five or six years. We started standup together. Uh, not together. We weren't like a duo. But, uh, I, uh, like at the, we do open mics together and and then we got into the comedy store kind of roughly at the same time. It was just like, you know, it's one of those things where, you know, comics have a real bond when they when they, when they're just waiting and just sitting and talking and going on stage. And so, she's just one of the people I really connect with.

Young Hollywood

You're really good at raising eyebrows. Can you do it on queue?

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

I don't That has nothing to do with me. That has everything to do with my eyebrow. I don't know It's spontaneous. Yeah. I don't know what's happening. In fact, I didn't know what's happening until Whitney then people started like tweeting about it and stuff. And like somebody wrote an article on it, like somewhere, some blog and and I got a Google Alert, it says "Cristela and his eyebrow."

Young Hollywood

I love you get Google Alerts about your eyebrow.

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

Yeah. Well, I don't Google Alert Cristela. I Google Alert eyebrows.

Young Hollywood

So if I demand that you raise one, will it will it go?

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

I think I can do it. Are you just kidding me? But, but see, do I do it? But I can't tell if I'm really actually doing it. I think I do both though. Anyway.

Young Hollywood

Speaking of Twitter.

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

Yeah.

Young Hollywood

I have on this card some of your tweets.

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

Shoot.

Young Hollywood

That we need to address. If you think you're at least a little bit ugly, retweet.

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

Oh, yeah. You got a lot of retweets. Like over 200.

Young Hollywood

Really?

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

Yeah. So 200 people, I wonder how many people read it and didn't retweet it?

Young Hollywood

And didn't retweet it, yeah.

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

Well, I put it out there cuz I wanted like it was an experiment. And then like so many people did it. And then I looked to see who was doing it. And I was seeing if like any like really hot chicks did it, cuz I was gonna really make me mad. But I feel like everybody's like insecure, so like they probably like everybody should have retweeted that. Like, who's walking around like, Yeah, I'm pretty pretty hot all the time.

Young Hollywood

LA is the only place you can unmeet someone. Yeah. What does that mean?

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

Because people will like, in it LA's the only place where I've been where people will be like, oh yeah, hey, what's up? What's your name? And you're like, I've been your house.

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

That's true. It's very, very true.

Young Hollywood

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

But you think they're pretending or were they just

Young Hollywood

No, they're pretending because it's like a It's like a thing where it's like, I don't need to know who you are. So, you're German, your German bit that you do on the show. Like put you on the spot.

Retweeting Chris D'Elia

No way. I'll bomb. There's one person in like four and two power. I'll do I'll do a German. I can't really This would literally be the first time I've ever done a German. All right, you go first.

Young Hollywood
