Samantha Bee: God Sent Me a Sign in the Form of a Used Sex Toy
“The point for me is that the Lord works in mysterious ways,” Bee told The Daily Beast Podcast.

In the most recent episode of The Daily Beast Podcast, which she co-hosts with Joanna Coles, comedian Samantha Bee revealed how the universe helped manifest her recent one-woman performance, How To Survive Menopause. The sold-out show, which ran for three nights in New York City, tackled Bee’s experience navigating what she called a “period of metamorphosis.” That sign from above, however, came in the form of, wait for it, a vagina-shaped sex toy.
While out hiking in the woods, Bee said she asked the universe to “give me a sign that I’m on the correct path in life.”
“You cannot believe what I found,” she told Coles. “I looked down and there was an anatomically correct vagina sex toy,” literally discarded on that path—as in, the one she was walking.
While this is a scenario likely to spur many questions, the most pressing would seem to be how it even came to be. “Someone had been using it, I guess, in their car,” Bee speculated, “and threw it out the window for me to find.”
Having later shared the story with her husband, Bee added his response—a further question: “Did you pick it up?”

“That’s such a male question,” Coles quipped. “A man would pick up a used sex toy.”
While the discarded sex aid was “covered in filth” and “could not be boiled to safety,” Bee confirmed, it was nonetheless a useful sign—to “keep talking about vulvas, mama.”
“The point for me,” she added, “is that the Lord works in mysterious ways.”
