I think why it’s so easy to love Fran, is not necessarily because of her opinions, of which there are plenty of debatable ones, but because one can tell she’s a genuinely good person with a refreshing curiosity and a great intellect who has given a lot of thought to all aspects of life. Also, there is something very analogue and enduring about her character in this increasingly digitised and trend-obsessed world. I’m a bit out of the loop regarding the status, but I truly hope that Scorsese and Netflix will continue producing the show with her.
I picture Mrs Lebowitz as one of the Old Testament prophets. She'd make a very good Moses, wearing the robes the glasses and carrying the 2 stone tablets, and exuding an aura.... 😇
I could listen to Fran Lebowitz all day, but if I had to interview her, I would be a nervous wreck. So glad that there are folks like Brian Vines in the world! He's a charming and urbane interlocutor and this document is for the ages.
Because of my NY Jewishness I feel this kinship with her where I feel unafraid to interview her. She brings me such sanity THANK YOU FRAN THANK YOU NYC
I saw this woman speak at my college back in the 70's. (I'm 66). She's absolutely brilliant and is one of our national treasures. I listen to her interviews over and over to make sure I catch everything.
Sorry. Butt typo. I am her age and she totally speaks for me. I took have friends who believe I should celebrate every tiny thing their children do. And I don't because I really don't care about them all that much. And that works for me...
I listen to anything and everything Fran Lebowitz with so much fascination, it's actually embrassing how many of her interviews I have bogged my mind with. I truly thank you for this.
Her take on the v@x aged like a fine cat turd. Her logic about giving away a free v@x shot at Krispy creme .is so dumb. If you have to be enticed with a free doughnut to get any type of medical procedure, you might want to think twice.
Fran is always right on. I would love to see her in person. She's funny, real and a lot of my not so popular opinions are so similar too hers. Love her. And a great interviewer this Brian Vines.
This interviewer is fantastic! He's able to build off her comments, but it's pretty clear he's keeping to a set of topics he wants to address as well. He's articulate without acting like he's the star. I bet he's as great a conversationalist as Fran. Plus, he has such a soothing voice. I could listen to him all day.
This interviewer is fantastic? You need to get out more. Listen to some actual interviews with actual intelligence on display: Uncommon Knowledge with Thomas Sowell. (Unless you start to foam at the mouth when truth hits your ears.)
@@linjicakonikon7666 My my my! Let me gift you some advice that will help you put a better foot forward in future. By having a meltdown over a nice little comment on a RUclips channel, you've proven to everyone reading this that you're the one who needs to get out more.
What a joy it is to find Fran here today and that she has blessed us for so many years and keeps on going. Reminds me of that popular battery bunny .... Keep on drumming Fran, you energize us and we need you today more than ever. Bless you.
I needed to hear a wise person talking today. And to know Rachel Maddow was there in the same room 1:03:55 gave me faith in America for one more day. Thank you.
I loved this interview. Thank-you to the interviewer for asking the different questions that I normally would hear. The answer concerning flip flop vs crocs was delightful haha. Loved it. 🙂
Parenting is so much better today. It's the one thing I disagree with Fran on. Before, Moms never listened to kids and Dads never listened to anybody. No question that listening makes people better persons.
@@AlvaSudden I think there are pros and cons, to be honest. I have to say that there does now seem to be this overwhelming "holier-than-thou" mentality in young people, where kids are taught that they're basically god's gift to planet earth and that their feelings are worth more than anyone else's. I don't know, it's complicated.
Yep, parents prior to, maybe the 80s, didn't give a shit how you felt. Most kids were probably unplanned. The birth control pill becoming ubiquitous in the 60s slowly changed things.
Fran is like a unicorn these days. She's the rare combination of being extremely witty, kind-hearted, very intelligent and absolutely authentic. Fran for president!!
I simply love Fran. I really don't care if she loves me back , or not. She is my hero and truth is my guide. Thank you Fran. I will go anywhere to watch you because, my life is so dull and "ya know why not?" My question is, or would be, do you smoke a bowl or do a schroom. Or is this all sober?
This is so painful -- this crowd has been so schooled in fear of being unempathetic that they can't laugh at a good wisecrack. Still, I'm glad they're there. Also, she's completely right about AIDS vs covid. You don't get AIDS by breathing. There was a very brief window between "people are paying attention" and "it's clear you don't get this from breathing" when the world was far more horrible than it had been to gay people, but after that, no, it was about sex, which was very bad if you were young, but not something that permeated every moment of your life unless a lot of your friends had it. It was also *years* before there was any consciousness that this was something women also needed to worry about. And -- it was different in that we know how to deal with covid medicinally, though that may change if it figures out how to do a number on the immune system the way AIDS does, which has been a worry since early last year, and the panic at omicron tells me that this fear is still very much alive among virologists and epidemiologists and biochemists and pharma chemists etc. I'm not understanding these people's desperation for mentorship like they think it's going to save them from something or deliver magic into their lives.
She seems to talk as if the pandemic is more or less over? What? It must be a New York thing. I spoke to someone who went to Montana over American Thanksgiving to a county that was 28 per cent vaccinated. Like Africa, etc.
@@carolynrobe5957 she's 100% uninterested in Montana, though. NYC has rules that she managed to follow despite DeBlasio. She's right about him, too. When I found out he showed up here during his "presidential campaign" and palled around with my mayor, I was furious I'd missed it -- I'd have run out and found them just to yell at him to go home and attempt to do the job he already couldn't manage. Something about the guy just provokes people. I bet he'd have stood there and took it, too.
AIDS was background because there was a lot more gay intolerance - not just with Repuglicans. Here in HI you had to wear “I am gay” badges/pins. Citizens thot “good for those sleep-abouts.” Then, when a NY socialite whose husband was cheating on her, had a one night affair and got AIDS, her courage to disclose brought people up short on their bias. What’s to compare about then and now is AZT and remdesivir
@@fiat2496 I always wonder what people like you actually live like. Like are you in one of those old grandma houses stuffed with garbage, or in a trailer wearing three sleeping bags, or what. Oh, now I stopped caring, you're muted.
I just adore Fran Lebowitz, her wit is beyond funny, and so is her wisdom! She is a brilliant person, who still shines like the brightest star (when she wants too, of course!:) Great interview! Great Woman, thank you!
My parents didn't even want me around, not unless they needed a babysitter. Childhood in the 60s (i was born in '60) was just as Fran says: our parents not only didn't care about how we felt, in fact many of us were shamed for having feelings at all. I tried turning to other adults, such as my 6th grade teacher, but adults always stuck together. STILL, 50 years later, that teacher, who I had still been turning to for emotional support sides with my parents and implies that my memories are false; that I must be crazy because he and all adults were just perfect.
At 3yo,in 1950, i was raised by my Dad's sister with the idea she'd train me to be her future baby sitter. Always implied I was a burden or problem. She did train me, to this day I must eat all that is on my plate. One relative saw her slap me so hard I flew across the room -- her solution was to never visit again. People knew I was physically abused *"but it was a 'family matter'"* did not interfere, much like domestic abuse. I wish someone would have cared about my feelings --- maybe I wouldn't be a basket case
I was a child in the 70s and I know my parents were right what is important isn't necessarily our feelings but the work we do, the way we behave, how we treat others the list goes on and on me, myself and I REALLY should not be given the be all and end all of life and living
you look for validation from your 6th grade teacher you had 50 years ago, who has never “sided” with you? you’re either a troll or your memories are false and are literally psychotic
She reminds me of my Grandmother and Aunts because they always had really nuanced conversations that really made my childhood and teenage years very interesting.
22m34s..."I wash my hands in as hot water as you can stand with a huge amount of soap rubbing very hard for 45 seconds, then I do it again"... reminds me of a scene in the a Jack Nicholson film titled "As Good As It Gets".
Some of Fran's pronouncements are polar opposite of the one's that I am host to. And, yet, there are many pronouncements which overlap. This following covered me in tears: 16:05 "I've said this many times. And, I say it again because it's true. In my life, I've known many smart people. But, I've only known one wise person & that is Toni (Morrison)."
What a priceless interview. I ought to say more about Fran. I'll say this... Fran values good people. I am in awe and thankful of Fran's relationship/experiences with Toni Morris.
Always a pleasure watching Fran speak, but this session is a bit flat. She's working with what she's got. Fran really needs a sharp interviewer that pushes up against her a bit more and less of a polite fanboy. That's how you get her best wit. She's an old school New Yorker, confront her with confidence and then hold fast.
@@m.c.master4622 Brain is alright, he seems like a sweet guy. Just a little too soft for my taste. He'd be perfect for more sensitive interviewees. Next time call John Waters to interview Fran.
She's got to be interviewed by her intellectual equal. Brian is a nice person, and I love his hair, but he can't keep up with her. (I know I couldn't, either!)
@@kristin1533 Very few people can. Helps if you are a native of NY, but not always needed. She is a force of nature. Out on your seatbelt, and hold on tight.
He is talking about glasses fogging up too much; he seems a very sweet person. But I agree with others who are saying, she needed to be challenged intellectually a little more. The hand washing business just isn't interesting. What a missed opportunity.
I agree so much with Fran's assessment of Joe Biden, As soon as he was elected I could stop worrying about politics I knew the Drama and Trauma was over and we could all move on
Very few folks cast against type as judges were highly memorable. One was Shelley Berman on Boston Legal; the other Fran Lebowitz on multiple Law & Orders.
Who is the host? He is brilliant, warm, thoughtful, persuasive, patient, and marvelously humored. And of course who doesn’t adore Fran!?! She’s a voice of Truth and knows how to deliver it. GREAT WORK, both of you.
Fran you are the ultimate NYer and as a fellow NYer, I am qualified to correct you on one point: there are saints in NYC. Teachers. They are our holy people.
Fayetteville, Arkansas. I worked at the University in 1994. Clinton was governor. Worked with several people who told me "nobody voted for him!" I was like, "he's been governor here for how long??? Seems like a lot of SOMEONES voted for him to be elected and re-elected."
For example, Condoleza Rice is a perfect example of a Republican that does read, writes, and publishes books. Same with everyone associated with the Hoover Institute at Stanford University.
Fran's intellectual glamour stems from one thing - she's been living off the Internet, and purely on books that keep her life attitude CONSTANT, FREE from AI/recommender engine manipulation! ❤
What! Fran has spread all over the world? Loved the Netflix show. Added edit (And she gets better and better. If someone would write down a lot of this, she would have another best seller. Simply a great original mind.)
I was mad at Fran for about a year because she said she HATES Bernie Sanders aLOT! I love Bernie so I got into a snit. I guess I’m over it now. I am free to enjoy Fran any time I wish. whew!

I think I wouldn't be nervous if I had to interview her.Underneath all her acidity She Is a good , no nonsense Person.
I love Fran 💜🥰
I loved the last comment - that Toni Morrison loved Rachel Maddow. And that Rachel was in the audience and answered (didn't hear it, but...)
Rachael - the queen of establishment pablum.
If only Ms Lebowitz would run for office…. Intelligence, heart, and wisdom with courage. Thank you Mr. Vines 🤓
Sarcasm right?
Thanks, Fran.
Totally agree with Fran about vaccine hesitancy.
Solid Jedi Mind comment!
That ship has sailed.
nobody cares linda
Fran is several of my favorite things: witty, intelligent, self-deprecating, frank, honest, female, gay, jewish.
LOVE Brian Vines! And Fran’s not too shabby either.
Fuck she is GREAT!
Her response on gum prices going up killed me lol. Love you Fran but you can borrow my Econ 101 books if you want 🥺😂
I love Fran and I love hearing what's on her mind BUT she repeats herself over and over again.
She's four million years old and has to pay for that giant apartment somehow, she's conserving energy. Go read a book.
@@litsci1877 LOL
Holy 🐄! My name is Isern Lazaro! 🤪
I was mad at Fran for about a year because she said she HATES Bernie Sanders aLOT! I love Bernie so I got into a snit. I guess I’m over it now. I am free to enjoy Fran any time I wish. whew!
Sanders is an old fool. Trump was elected because many people who wanted Sanders declined to vote.
I adore and share her perspectives on the south. This woman is hysterically funny.
I love her answer about Italy at 48:10
Great Interview all around.
I think she is Mark Twain of her day and place
I love Fran Lebowitz
If you listen carefully to Fran,90 percent of the time One agrees with her.
