Jesse talks to to Whitney about tackling sensitive topics in her act, and how it relates to #metoo and feminism. Whitney reflects on past jokes and behaviors, and how it makes sense at this point in her career to be self-critical.

The conversation also focuses on her rigorous daily writing process, in which she spends hours researching topics to determine what's already been said about it.
