![]() That first story is more or less Everett’s, though it took decades of restaurant work and a lot of sozzled karaoke nights before she had anything that could be called a career. There are plenty more about big-city transplants finding happiness only when they return home. There are plenty of stories about small-town kids who come to the city with a dollar and a dream, and make good. “They threw in the dead sister, and I was sold,” Everett said. Sam sits on the couch a lot in her underwear. She has a soul-eating job at an educational testing center and various family obligations - a father (Mike Hagerty) with a struggling farm, a mother (Jane Brody) with addiction issues, and a sister (Mary Catherine Garrison) with a wobbly marriage and an Instagrammable approach to evangelical Christianity. After years of bartending in a big city, Sam has returned to her hometown. (Not very close, as it turns out, though Everett said that the sides were delicious.) She was joined by Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen, the creators of “Somebody Somewhere,” a wistful Kansas-set half-hour comedy that arrives Sunday on HBO.Įverett, 49, stars as Sam, a woman whose biography parallels her own, to a point. ![]() This was on a Monday afternoon in mid-December at John Brown BBQ, a purveyor of Kansas City-style barbecue in Queens, which is to say the closest that a person can get to Kansas within the New York City limits. “I would probably work in a restaurant and have two D.U.I.s and sit on the couch a lot in my underwear.” “I’d probably live in Kansas City, or Lawrence,” she said. I’M AWAKE! Scramble some eggs and light up an English muffin.Sometimes Bridget Everett, the actress, comedian and self-proclaimed “cabaret wildebeest,” wonders what would have happened if she had never left Kansas. Take a ginger shot out of the fridge and let it burn its way down the back of my throat. Like, ’90s-style hungover, which is when Zach and I became friends. Thursday, February 3ġ0:30 a.m.: I finally get out of bed. So we pound a couple glasses and hope for the best. Jason, Zach’s boyfriend, texts us to drink water. We drink some Rombauer chardonnay because we love the oaky, buttery kiss of a classic Californian chardonnay.ġ1:30 p.m.: As per usual, our night together has gone on a little longer than expected. Gotta celebrate the moments!ħ:30 p.m.: Uh oh! Zach wants to come over after happy hour. We’re celebrating the season two green light with martinis and a fancy caviar toast they have. And, also, so we can get started with the party and wrap it up in time for a respectable bedtime. “We were all so excited.”ĥ p.m.: HAPPY HOUR! I meet my friend Zach at Nougatine at 4:45 p.m., so we can get corner bar seats right as doors open. “A very, like, Rudy moment, carrying us off the field,” she says. Like, I don't know, ‘Make me another drink, bitch,’ and you have to make that into a song.” It sounds like fodder for a future scene in Somebody Somewhere-the green light for season two having arrived at an auspicious time, as Everett details below. “If it were up to me, I would just lay on the couch and stare at the wall all day, so I need to have deadlines and goals.” The group also has a hook challenge-“which is some funny shit that somebody said at the previous songwriter’s. “I have my songwriter group on Tuesday, and I do not have a song,” she says of her monthly meetup with a handful of friends, designed to light a creative fire under everyone’s ass. The same is true for Everett in this three-day wellness diary, where ’70s soul warms up a frigid walk. And all of us-in the audience, on the couch-get to bask in the raucous glory. (In addition to her 2015 Comedy Central special, Gynecological Wonder, she has toured with Amy Schumer, turned up in the original Sex and the City movie, and played a karaoke-slaying mother in 2017’s Patti Cake$.) The aforementioned bosom aside, there’s another elemental through line: “For Sam and for Bridget, there is a connection to the world through the world of music,” Everett says. ![]() She is calling from home on the Upper West Side, not far from the restaurant jobs she juggled for years while building momentum onstage. “Big tits with a tender underbelly? I think that's what they have in common,” Everett says, laughing. There is Bridget the downtown cabaret legend-spangled, sweaty, outrageously mesmerizing-who channels the collective id with lyrics like “What I gotta do to get that dick in my mouth?” Meanwhile, on Somebody Somewhere, her semi-autobiographical show now quietly winning hearts on HBO, she plays Sam, a forty-something woman adrift in her Kansas hometown, who comes alive at an after-hours variety show, belting out power ballads from her high school songbooks. What makes a feel-good show? Bridget Everett has figured it out, via two tonally distinct personas.

![]() As a result, Hendricks says roughly 80 to 90 percent of poachers in Kruger Park are from Mozambique, one of the poorest countries in the world. Until recently, the penalty for poaching in Mozambique was a small fine that rarely got paid. First, it’s huge - more than 19,000 square kilometers, about the size of the country of Wales, and difficult to manage.Īn even bigger problem though is the long porous border Kruger shares with neighboring Mozambique. HENDRICKS: Our translocation program is aimed at translocating rhinos from hotspots - poaching hotspots - to areas of high levels of security.īASCOMB: Kruger Park is a poaching hotspot for several reasons. (Photo: Sokwanele-Zimbabwe Flickr CC BY-NC-SA 2.0) In order to do so, they cut into her skull and then left her to bleed to death. Poachers tranquilized a pregnant black rhino and removed her horn. Howard Hendricks, from the South African National Parks conservation services explains. Now the park is trying to sell off some of its rhinos to places like Black Rhino Game Reserve in the hope that they might find safer sanctuary. ![]() ![]() But they are losing them at an unsustainable rate - between one and two a day are killed by poachers. Roughly 530 kilometers east of Pilanesberg, Kruger is home to more than 8000 rhinos, the single largest population in the world. It’s a dangerous place for rhinos and the people protecting them but it’s still far safer than the country’s largest park, Kruger National Park. It’s almost like an unprotected war zone.īASCOMB: Black Rhino Game Reserve lost three rhinos to poaching this year, all of them within 100 meters of the road. JOUBERT: These guys, when they come on they’ve got snipers and they’ve got AK47s and they have weapons that can’t match what the anti-poaching guys have. They always try to find the highest place in the reserve and then they’ll change their sort of patrol tracks because they don’t want any kind of routine because then it can be learned.īASCOMB: The anti-poaching units are similar to military personnel and the job is just as dangerous. JOUBERT: Right on that hill about half a kilometer in front of us on the right, that’s usually where they are stationed. Michael Joubert, Co-owner of the reserve, bumps along in the back of a safari truck and points across a wide expanse of knee-high dried grass towards the anti-poaching unit charged with protecting the conservation land’s rhinos. (Photo: Dion Hinchcliffe Flickr CC BY-SA 2.0)īASCOMB: A red dirt path cuts through the savannah of the Black Rhino Game Reserve in South Africa’s Pilanesberg National Park. There are only 25,000 rhinos left in the world, most of which live in South Africa. ![]() Where's the cops? Omg yuck! □ĭisgusting Nope couldn’t do it.

They sing the end song and enter Pablo's blue house. The others accept as the college transforms back into the backyard. Pablo invites the two over for more popcorn. Pablo asks her if the sound is another giant worman, but Uniqua assures him that it is just her stomach. ![]() Uniqua, Pablo, and Tyrone all give huge sighs of relief. The worman changes from stinky, pink, and huge from pleasant-smelling, yellow, and small. It eats the popcorn as Uniqua sprays him with the final formula. The worman catches a whiff of the delicious food and squirms over. Tyrone uses his crane machine to drop giant popcorn kernels on the ground. He decides to lure the worman over with his favorite food, popcorn. The worman disobeys them when they tell her to stand still. He runs outside, only to hear that the worman will not listen to Uniqua or Tyrone. He mixes the last few formulas into the last empty beaker. The characters sing " That Worman Must Shrink" as the worman continues to grow. ![]() Uniqua scolds Pablo once again for creating a stink formula rather than a shrink formula. He squirts the worman with the liquid as stinking lines start fuming from his head. He finds the two and spills the new formula. He runs to the library in search of Uniqua and Tyrone. Pablo gulps as he fears that another mishap will happen. Pablo pours various potions in another beaker, hoping that it will turn into a shrink formula. Pablo returns to the lab as Tyrone and Uniqua go to the library to find the new pink worman. Uniqua's face reddens as she scolds Pablo for creating a pink formula rather than a shrink formula. The worman's coloring turns from yellow to pink. Uniqua pours it into her spray bottle and squirts it at the worman. Pablo rushes outside with a beaker of formula. They sing " Where'd It Go?" as they search for Sherman while he hides from them. Tyrone agrees to help Uniqua find the worman while Pablo makes a shrink formula. Uniqua alerts Groundskeeper Tyrone about the rapidly growing lab worman. Uniqua exits the building and tells Pablo to create a shrink formula. Uniqua and Pablo gasp as they watch the worman grow and later escape from the lab. The worman giggles as the scientists return to their laboratory. He eats more and more as he continues to increase in size. The worman devours the food, causing him to grow. The duo's lab worman who looks like Sherman, squirms out of his tank to eat some popcorn. The scientists congratulate themselves and leave the lab. They succeed in their project and test the potion on some popcorn. They enter the laboratory and begin trying to make a growth formula as they sing " Mix It Up". They accept and walk around the grass rather than across. Uniqua and Pablo attempt to get to their lab by running across the grass, but Groundskeeper Tyrone stops them and tells them that they have to step away from the grass because his job is to make sure all of the grass in the university is at the same height. The backyard transforms into a university's park. They also discuss what formulas they are working on. They sing " A Major Breakthrough" as they explain what formulas they have created. They introduce themselves to the viewer as scientists Uniqua and Pablo. Uniqua and Pablo are in the backyard wearing goggles. Now they need Groundskeeper Tyrone's help to stop the clumsy giant creature!" Plot ![]() "Scientist Pablo and his assistant accidentally use a growth formula on a Worman. |
