I’m really glad to have been introduced to Fiona - she’s awesome and hilarious! I have a disability and agree - it’s so upsetting when people talk to me like I have an intellectual disability (I don’t) or like I’m a child (I’m 40). I also relate very much to what she said about virtue-signaling women (I’m sure men can do it, but my experience with it has been with women) who will try to glom onto you. That happened to me at my old workplace where the culture was all about the appearance of DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion), but it was all just for show. They wanted just enough association with me for what I call “woke points,” but did nothing when I was being discriminated against and held back from advancing, yet they’d help their non-marginalized work buddies to get into higher positions. Anyway, I’m looking forward to checking out more of Fiona’s work 🙂 Ps- I’ve always loved the name Fiona!
My late sister was special needs, so my mom got involved with the county board of MRDD, so that's the environment I grew up with. I get irritated whenever someone breaks out The Voice when talking to a disabled person. Also irritated when people get all PC about disabilities and are so concerned about offending them, like trying to say a common idiom or phrase that would exclude the disability (like asking a blind person if they saw a movie).
@@trollala_555 she has a degenerative muscle disease. Speaking uses a ton of muscles. Personally I find her hilarious and it has nothing to do with pity (which only has one T, btw "pitty" isn't really a word, unless you count the ebonics slang for pitbull) don't be so dense.
I love her! I can relate to being a bit different and not fitting in with girls much at high school and college. She's so funny too! Please have her back again soon 🙏
When i was 5 my mother had an aneurism and nearly lost her. She is now physically disabled but can walk with a limp, and limited mobility of her right side. She was in a wheelchair for over a year before she was able to walk on her own. The positivity that Fiona has warms my heart. She inspires me the same way my mother does. I suffer from depression and all kinds of stuff because of how a grew up. I will never blame mum for how i feel. If anything, she is one of the reasons I burned my suicide note. Fiona Cauley you reinforce my hope in people. Keep laughing and I wish for you to have a life where you may walk on your own again.
16:17 - "We're the only minority that's always taking new members." That's a super funny bit in the making, right there. I giggled my ass off at that premise.
One of my best friends had Friedrich's Ataxia. Fiona's hand movements, and way of speaking remind me of him. We were friends since middle school, back then he was kind of wobbly when he walked, and it progressed to where he had to be in a wheelchair during high school. Funny guy, and a great friend. He passed away last year. We had lost contact, so I don't know if it was from that disease or not, but I feel immensely guilty that I didn't do a better job of maintaining that friendship. I miss him.
Life Happens, its noones fault. I wish I kept friends from the past but its hard to. I think in a weird way us and all of our past great friends appreciate each other even when noone talks. memories. So even though you didnt talk to him, he kept those memories and those memories made him laugh or smile at some point :))
I will love to see you both at The Comedy Works (either location) in Denver! I understand how difficult it is when your brain works but your body doesn't cooperate.
I really enjoy this form of interviewing. There’s something about riding in a car having a conversation that feels more intimate. Looking forward to see both of your..progressions
If this doesnt show that everyone should get out there and live there dreams, idk what is. She's fantastic, beautiful, talented, smart, funny af, and has a great attitude at least in public (obv idk her personally). Shes amazing. I want to see how well she can keep doing.
When it comes to medical cures...its about "can we make money off this" A medicine that helps me eat normal has just been discontinued because the company doesn't make enough money on it. I have to get it from medical warehouses and compounding pharmacies.
Loved this interview so much. So casual and she's so available to answer anything any able-bodied person might want or need to know what her experience has been like. She's funny as hell and supremely likeable and your laid back interview style let her tell her story while you just set her up. Great stuff. Cheers.
She has a nice heart. I hope they come up with a treatment or cure for her condition. I know a woman that has had MS for years and she’s doing fine. My first crush in the second grade came down with MS when she was just thirteen. The medication’s back in those days weren’t very good so she passed away when I was probably 37 years old. I still think of her. There’s a group of us on FB that remember Beth every year on her birthday
I'm a physical therapist in the US and have worked with a few people with Fiona's condition. I'm amazed how she can still speak so good with how that condition progressively gets bad. Kudos to you Fiona.
Franklin!! TN ahahahaha. Also , I clicked thinking this interview was Fiona Apple & I rolled the dice. Video started and my heart jumped & warmed up, so much happier for *THIS Fiona interview!!*
I feel exactly the same way! I went from being extremely able bodied as in a former circus arts performer to disabled with a genetic degenerative disorder. It's so striking she said " I always knew I wasn't right but I needed to know I wasn't crazy" it's so many of our experience's and then we are gaslit 😢 OIY 🙄. I love that an able bodied audience can't follow by the way😉 "You can't drive obviously"🤦♀️ "I can"😂❤😊 Ables and their assumptions you handle them so well!! ❤
"Ables"???? Why are you so tribal? Not everyone is the same, please don't characterize others with only one factor, especially since you dislike it so much toward yourself.
She would laugh at that... she was on kill Tony getting roasted and laughed her ass off. stop getting defensive over someone you don't even know @@onyemechiekwuribe6937
I love this interview. I love this girl. I saw her on a kill tony episode (with Roseanne Barr popping in). I'm a new comedy fan,.so,,.For anyone living in NJ, where are the good comedy clubs? Or better yet, where can I find the good, up and coming comedians in NJ??
This is amazing. I'm going to take on the world in a different way tomorrow by putting aside my problems and getting my head out of my ass. Thanks for sharing this........OR!..........stay with me on this........can having my head up my ass be a legit disability? 😊 You're amazing. Thanks 👍 BTW red hair, blue eyes and wheel chairs clean my crank LoL Apologies to the BF. No disrespect 😂
I love this girl. Honestly one of the only females I find hilarious. To your point in the video about how people are kinder to disabled people... we could start a government program that gives everyone a disability. Then we might get along better and I'm almost positive the government would love the idea 😂
The Twiggy of Texas just passed ( the great Shelly Duvall ), and i was super sad, but then i discovered Fiona on Kill Tony's show. Texas lost a legend, but with Fiona , it gained a Star ✨️
You are correct it's easier to understand her, but that's the travesty it's more upsetting to hear how she would have sounded before the condition and the decline started. 1.75 x is the best.
Have you ever considered a ketogenic diet? It has been a boon for MS patients who have discovered that the medical community is just about making money from expensive treatments rather than tweaking our nutrition. Sugar destroys mitochondria, especially high fructose corn syrup. So many processed foods contain added sugar. A simple adjustment would be to eliminate processed foods altogether and stick to real food. That's a good start. After that, you might try going completely ketogenic. I would like to hear about your complete recovery. God bless. Keep inspiring.
What an amazing young woman! Thanks for introducing her to us.
Thank you, Dave, for introducing us to new amazing people.
Great chat will definitely be checking out Fionas work. Way to roll with the genetic punches.

Agreed 100%
Fiona is pure gold
I empathise with your nasty work experience.
I wish you strength and peace for the future.
She just killed Tony on Kill Tony. Absolutely fantastic!!
why is she talking like that? is she really funny or just pitty humor
Her voice is probably due to muscle weakness
@@trollala_555 she has a degenerative muscle disease. Speaking uses a ton of muscles. Personally I find her hilarious and it has nothing to do with pity (which only has one T, btw "pitty" isn't really a word, unless you count the ebonics slang for pitbull) don't be so dense.
Jesus dude...let her finish her stories!
No kidding - he needs to quit interrupting. So annoying.
Ya everytime he asked a question I wanted to hear the answer to she started answering and he just talks over her and switches the subject haha
@@surdams9848it’s common for comedians to have adhd. interrupting and changing subjects is typical behavior.
"We're the only minority continually accepting new members". I'll be using that.
“Destroyed, drunk, and disabled” this girl is gold 😂💚 much love keep it up!
We now have a name for her Netflix special.
Love her
r u sure? why is she talking like that? is she really funny or just pitty humor
Definitely want to check her out! She's awesome.
She's so BEAUTIFUL AND POSITIVE
yea copper hair women are super beautiful , don't know why people always hype yellow hair too much , with freckels they look the best
Another great convo!!
“I was an athlete, volleyball, cross country, soccer, all that…”
😩😩😩😩😩😩
I love her! I can relate to being a bit different and not fitting in with girls much at high school and college. She's so funny too! Please have her back again soon 🙏
I respect this women so much. Hope she stays with us for a long time.
Love that little lady...
Hoping for a positive progression in her life...❤️❤️❤️
Stem cell research is probably the best bet for a ray of hope. That an absolute pure tenacity.

Saw her on kill tony, will support her in anyway I can. Come to Cleveland!
I've just discovered you through Kill Tony and I love your comedy so much! ❤
Fiona is an absolute treasure, an inspiration to anyone who tells themselves they can’t do something!
Just Love this lady !!! Thank You
I’m super relieved to hear the medication she is on has halted the progression of her condition.
I love this girl, I love her spirit.
Could have watched hours more of this, really interesting & she is an inspiration to so many of us.
She's funny too!.
I will love to see you both at The Comedy Works (either location) in Denver! I understand how difficult it is when your brain works but your body doesn't cooperate.
Wow! What an amazing woman she is. Thank you and her for sharing her story with us. ♥️

You guys both have beautiful blue eyes, and the soft yet bright lighting does you guys favors on that front for sure.
Change playback speed to 1.5×
This would be her before her MD progressed.
Personally, I enjoy her cadence. 😅
@@bobbymoss6160not all of us have as much leisure time.
I really like her. She has a good vibe.
The best sit-down comedian!
"'I'm telling you these Parents are finding new ways to f*@k us up!"

She's brave, and funny as hell
I think ive seen her on Kill Tony. She's a gem
Dude made the whole thing about himself. lol

Fiona should do a show where it seems she is always about to reference the wheelchair, but then it goes a different direction.
I love her - she’s great

She's like a prettier Emma Stone.
100000%%%%
How gorgeous is this lady...piss funny too!
The Twiggy of Texas just passed ( the great Shelly Duvall ), and i was super sad, but then i discovered Fiona on Kill Tony's show. Texas lost a legend, but with Fiona , it gained a Star ✨️

Dude, you gonna let her finish a story? Holly hell
Great interview ❤
Oh she's so sweet,much luck to her
She is so funny 😆😂
Shes is Phenomenal
Fiona is adorable, and I agree, her timing is flawless. She's always a couple steps ahead of everyone. Im sure so many are inspired by her, as i am.
I thought she said free drinks ataxia for a quick second looool
Play this at x2 speed and she almost sounds normal lol
You are correct it's easier to understand her, but that's the travesty it's more upsetting to hear how she would have sounded before the condition and the decline started.
1.75 x is the best.
$27k a month... not sure they'll be curing that cash cow anytime soon
I'm drawing a character about you. Her name is HOTWHEELS. On the other side thy call her Fiona!
Fiona is a 💎 Kill Tony experience was fantastic 😊
needs to be on AGT
More like SIT DOWN comedy. Badum tss😂

Going to Instagram for Fiona right now
You can't really call what she does stand-up, it's more sit-down. JK... I love her determination and her joie de vivre.
I would unironically date her. She's such a great, gorgeous person with an awesome personality and attitude.
She’s so charming
Not sure why this is such good cintent. But this is acincersation i wish i was there for. You're both awesome.
Uncanny... when you crank it up to 2x speed, she sounded like a normie...amazing woman!
Fiona is awesome! Low key she looks like the undercover boss version of Emma Stone.
She’s hilarious
There is a stem cell researcher in Nicaragua. You can get an injection of stem cells and which are building blocks of new cells.
Love Fiona! What an inspiration 👏👏👏
"yeah, I mean"
i need this cap.
Awesome
She is adorable.
