'Because I have a politicized identity, as a trans person, I am expected to speak on a lot of stuff. And I’m just like, I’m a comedian from Ohio who fucking loves Fazoli’s.'
Another Year in Hell: Collected Songs from 2018,Over a spotty conference call across LA, Heidecker and Harrison spoke about all the things that would naturally arise in conversation: Trump, Twitter trolls, Zyrtec, men without chins, and 14-foot-long tiger sharks. —SARAH NECHAMKINTIM HEIDECKER: Let’s get into it. I love a good conference call. People talking over each other.
HARRISON: Sure thing. So, at the time I was with George Harrison and that was great. It did have its flaws, codependent a little bit. But then Eric Clapton wrote this really amazing song about me.HARRISON: No, it was called “ET.” He wrote it for Katy Perry. It’s basically about a love that’s so crazy it’s out of this world. Things went downhill from there.HARRISON: I think I feel safer.
HEIDECKER: Of course. I’d feel so bad for them if I died because I’m such a good dad, and I’m so fun to be around. It would just be a real tragedy in their lives to not have me in them every day. HARRISON: There’s humor in the abject and feeling uncomfortable. It’s very interesting with Twitter. People go to Twitter for two things: They go for news, and they go for humor. Unfortunately, those two things overlap now. There’s a lack of nuance in any of the discussion that’s happening, and because I have a politicized identity, as a trans person, I am expected to speak on a lot of stuff. And I’m just like, I’m a comedian from Ohio who fucking loves Fazoli’s.
HARRISON: I’ve never been super articulate about anything or felt that confident. I know what my morals are if I sat them down, but I don’t think I would be able to succinctly express them because I feel like I have mud in my brain all the time because I’m unmedicated and I have ADD. HARRISON: When I moved to New York to do comedy professionally, I had this little mission in my brain: I’m not going to address being trans on stage. I don’t care if people know that I’m trans, but I don’t want it to be in my act, because this is my little space where I go to not think about anything else. I don’t want to be pigeon-holed.HARRISON: It really is that. I used be resentful of it.
