    Smart cows, autistic barbies

    Hello, Mauricio here, proving I can also be original. The following is a video that makes much more sense once you accept that we’re still figuring things out. It’s a conversation from a public episode with some questionable ideas that won’t let us go. In this one, Colman brings up the new autistic Barbie. Chris talks about Verónica, a cow who may or may not be smarter than him. And I read a text about the origins of the Interior Designer, which somehow felt relevant at some point. Of course these aren’t finished bits, just exercises to keep the comedy muscle busy, and hopefully you entertained. Were barbies thinner before, as Chris assures? Straight (mostly) men can’t do a stereotypically gay voice anymore? Are cows finally ready to rebel?  Do any of these ideas matters? We will find out when we circle back to them in front of an audience. Nothing here has been cleaned up or streamlined. No edits to make us sharper. No highlights to suggest we knew where we were going. This is just the conversation as it happened, including the confusion, the wrong turns, and the moments that only work because everyone in the room agreed to keep going anyway. Thanks for being here. About the SeriesBuilding An Hour is a behind-the-scenes look at comedians developing, stress-testing, and refining stand-up. Not the finished set but the thinking, doubt, edits, and decisions underneath it.
