“I don’t know white people,” Brunson said onAmy Poehler’s newGood Hangpodcast.
“I know you, I know Tina Fey.
I know white people in comedy, okay?”

Don’t go through Amy to do that.
That’s not nice, Kate.
That’s not okay, Kate."

Brunson also disclosed that Bon Jovi isn’t the only ’80s rocker she hasn’t wrapped her head around.
“I just like don’t know some people,” she said.
“I understand the name Phil Collins.
I don’t know what Phil Collins looks like.”
“That Keke moment was so on point,” Brunson said.
“That is how i move through life.

If they’re not in comedy, truly, I don’t know.”
Poehler argued that knowing a lot about pop cultural figures that don’t interest you is useless anyway.
“It’s okay.”
Brunson reiterated, “I don’t have a reason to know who I’m not crazy!
I couldn’t tell.
It’s crazy.”
“I’m going to blow your mind even more,” theParks and Recreationstar said.
But true fans know that it was Bongiovi."
Brunson had no patience for such a trivial distinction.
“You know everything you just said sounds crazy, right?”
If you know about Bon Gionviovi, and I’m too difficult.
It’s two syllables: Quinta!"
Brunson also volunteered another point of pop cultural confusion from earlier in her life.
“You know who I got mixed up for the longest time?”
There was no reason for me to know the difference."
Poehler responded, “You might have a little bit of face blindness.”
I do have that," she said.
“And they know, I know Sandra knows now, because that’s my girl.
Of course I can tell you guys apart now.
But growing up, no reason for me to know that.”
