Well, in this month's Club Random Classics, we've, oh, rewinding to my dear friend Nikki Glazer. Ah, razor sharp, obviously very candid, shall we say, wink, wink, and just always hysterically funny.

From the little lies of Instagram and the real cost of showing up in Hollywood to aging, touring, why she's not interested in having kids, it's everything. Nikki cuts through the bullshit and her performance, to the messy truth. It's sharp, it's always rude as I love it, and it lands where it hurts, and then makes you laugh about it. Hi!

Honey, I'm home. It's so good to see you. Hi. Hi. Look at you. You look great. It's been too long. It has been.

It's probably right here, right? I think it was the last time in person. Hi. What's going on? You know. I don't know. That's why you're here. What's been going on?

I've certainly seen you. You know, I saw your Tom Brady roast, which you killed it. Thank you so much for referencing it on your show. That was so nice. I did? You did. It was a great moment. I got so many texts about it, and then I watched it myself.

Well, I mean, it was nice. There was a lot of heavy. You stopped down to say nice things after you told the joke. It was so cool. There was a lot of heavy comedy hitters there. and you wound up to start of it. That's a good moment in your career. Yeah, it was the moment.

Like, I'm kind of at the point where I'm like, if nothing like that ever happens again, that's okay because it was so big. And it was just a culmination of, you just get really lucky sometimes where hard work and preparation and chance come together. And that was that moment. It was just perfect.

You're like tank. I'm so tan. I got it spray tan on top of a spray tan. Why? Because it makes me feel lovable. Are you going to parties tonight? Yeah, I'm going, I'm like Emmys parties. I was nominated for an Emmy that I didn't win last week at the Creative Arts Emmys. I was not going to go to the WME wave.

You want to go. I'm going to go there. Really? Yeah, let's go to the party together. Is it tonight? Yeah. I'll drop by that one. Where are we going to go?

I have to go to three other ones. Oh, my, why do you have to go? Because I RSP'd and I want to get pictures and that's just whole, that's part of all that. stuff you play that game right i paid you know 1500 bucks for a stylist to what and then 800 for hair and makeup 200 for a spray tan you gotta and i'm not making money off these parties i got to go get those pictures it's how you prove to people you're you're doing stuff that's how people know i mean you get it it's how people know that you're uh where people go you're doing so well and i go based on what and they go just instagram and i go yeah

Yeah, that's a, it's kind of a lie. Like, I'll even look at my own Instagram sometimes and be like, she has it all. Well. I really will and be like, wow, she's killing it. And I go, man, I got to remember that this is, when I think that of other people, it's not the case, which we all know. Instagram is a lie. I mean, that's the whole point of Instagram is leading a virtual life. And it, look, I'm talking out of my ass here because do I do anything with it?

No. But I certainly know enough about the culture and people on it and what people do. do to know that, and of course going by my own bits. Bits have to be true. You couldn't say anything that. But I know I've done bits about that, you know, that the virtual world to a certain group of people, the younger set, is just much more important than the real world. And it's much more important to look like you're having a good time than to actually having a good time, which someone in my generation finds insane. Yeah, and I'm somewhere in between those two generations.

Yeah, you are. Right. I'll feel it sometimes where I'm like, I'm having a genuinely good time, and it's so glad that I don't have to document this. And then you think later on, you go, why didn't I? I need to tell, like, that was a waste of a good time

because it wasn't documented. Like, I have that regret sometimes. I mean, that goes back to Madonna, filming herself in Truth or Dare, which is when she was with Warren Beatty. we're talking about 1991 and Warren Beatty in that famous scene he's on it in it for a minute but he has the great line like why do anything if it's not on camera yeah I mean and that was a long time ago but that just shows that mentality is not new yeah it's just been brought to

everyone and no wonder you kids are fucked up no I know it's so fucked and it's and I was I read something ages ago about it and I found this really interesting is that people are so depressed about their lives because we're on the same platform. Like, a person who's, you know, a housewife in the Midwest is seeing her little square on Instagram pop up on the same device that Kendall Jenner's is or Kim Kardashian or whatever.

So you don't think of them as like, they're famous. I shouldn't compare myself. They're right next to me on this. So it's like they're my neighbor. Like we should compare ourselves to the people in our same, in our neighborhood. Like keeping up with the Joneses,

but we're not, we're trying to, you compare yourself to the next square you see, which is some, you know, billionaire. So does that mean that you want to have the same number of followers as the Kardashians? That would be a success in your... No, I don't, I'm really happy with how I am now. Like, I'm really not looking to get any more famous. Like, of course I'll take it because I want money, because I want to survive in the apocalypse and have, like, to be,

or whatever happens, I want to be able to protect my family, money's great. I want anyone in my family or loved one to get cancer and go, I'll take care of it. Don't worry about anything. You're going to get the best treatment. That's what I'm stockpiling money for. That's what I want fame for because the pressure is not that fun to get more and more followers and not be able to go out and get recognized.

That's not that great. Money is good when you're sick. I mean, that is true. It makes a difference. But also fame. Oh, yeah. Doctors definitely. Try harder.

You definitely want doctors who are fans. Yes. And not ones who are, certainly you wouldn't want one who wasn't a bad. Yeah. Or even indifferent, I feel, it's like, you know what? I can find a doctor who can look up my ass and loves me already. And I just feel like it's going, like any place, it's like a restaurant, like anywhere, it's just going to be, why wouldn't you? It's not a dumb pursuit to want to be famous.

I think it's, we all ascribe so much, you're so vapid if you want to be famous, but it makes sense. you're more protected in society. You're treated better. It's great. What kid of almost any age doesn't want to be famous? A lot. And when you were growing up and you had dreams of this, did all of your friends have dreams of this too?

Because mine didn't. Mine were like, that's not my life. And I go, why would you not want to be famous? Isn't this? Yeah, but that's because I think the other kids, I mean, you probably recognize in yourself, even when you're a kid, what your talents are,

kids think they're going to be world-class athletes. Yeah. Very few of them do, but some do. I was funny, and I was like, I always know I was going to do this. Yeah. You know, so this comes with fame if you do it well enough. Other people's dreams don't come with fame. So why would you fantasize about it?

Because you're not going to be like a famous anthropologist, unless you're like the greatest one in the world. That's a good point. I can name a few. But I wanted to be like a marine biologist, but I was like, or work with animals in some way, but I was like, you can't be famous that way. So, and I wasn't good at acting or singing.

So you wanted the fame first. I think I just wanted to be on TV. I think ultimately I was always attracted to comedy, and those are the people that I wanted to be, but I just didn't really know about stand-up comedy. Well, you're lucky, Nikki, because that is ass backwards. You're supposed to, like, want to do the work. And then, you know, get up there and go,

the fame is just a byproduct. I wish it didn't happen at all, but it's the work, which is bullshit. It's bullshit. Right. There's no shame in liking fame. As long as it's from something and at least part of you feels that, no, I'm glad it came from the work. And it's about the work first. So, you know, you're lucky that you actually were funny because to just want to be famous, a lot of people do.

But they got nothing. They got nothing. No, you have something. No, I had nothing. So when I wanted to be. Well, everyone has nothing to start. No, but I literally, like I knew from a very early age I want to be on TV and I tried to act in high school and tried to go away to. And like, you know, I auditioned for all these theater schools, didn't get in any of them.

Like, getting feedback like, you're not good at this. But I wasn't passionate about it. Like, I didn't realize what it takes to be a good actor because you have to like doing. I didn't like doing it. I just wanted to perform. And then. You still want to be an actor? No.

Right. no to be honest with you i mean i'll do it because if it's fun it's the people i want to work with and it's like a quick shoot and it's not long lonely days in vancouver and a yeah you know it would be good for you like they they do a lot of these uh ones with like a big cast and it's a murder mystery yes bring me on for a day or two you could well probably a little more than that but be one of the people who could have killed the motherfucker who's dead yes and let daniel craig figure and out of whoever, you know, is the dude. And, you know, I love the Kenneth Brano, Hercule Perrault movies that he does. Uh-uh. I don't know anything about those.

What? I'm sorry. Oh, my God. Hercules Perot? You know who that is? Don't talk to me like I'm the hawk to a girl. Okay. I don't think most people, I'm not that young, but I don't, I've never heard that reference. Literary Detective. Okay. You know. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Murder on the Orient Express. Death on the Nile. They made these movies in the 70s. Now he's remaking them.

Okay. It's great because you can bring on 18 people. You know, it's like, I'm telling you, you'd be really good at that. Okay, that's what I'll do. Because, yeah, I just don't, it just seems like a lonely life to be an actor. I don't like memorizing lines. I can do it. I get nervous around really good actors.

You know what I want to do is like a rom-com. I love rom-coms. Yeah, I mean, that takes more devotion, but you'd be great in one. I'd like to do it. I would devote myself to that. Well, first of all, you could just, and you should, because, come on, who's kidding, who, it's just better to build it around your personality as it already is. Yes, it would just be me.

That's what I'm saying. Just like, I'm sorry, Jennifer Anson's Jennifer Anston in every movie. But she's brilliant. Almost everybody is. Unless everyone is. No, no. There's a level of actors who are, the Daniel de Lewis's of the world, who are so. Horrible to work with.

Are they? Is he? Or just obnoxious, you know, those characters, you know. He might be. I don't have no idea, but as an actor. Christian Bales and the guy from Succession, Kendall. Yeah. You know, the guys that get into it and are the character the whole time.

That's not fun to be around. Right. But, I mean, to be able to do, like, some of the things he's done, Lincoln. I mean, thank God for his talent, but. Yeah. Well, I wouldn't know that far, but I'm just saying. I wouldn't either. I'm sorry.

There's a level of actor that does that. I can be Lincoln and then I can be. be the guy in, you know, gangs in New York. And then most of the other ones who are, like you say, they're playing a version of themselves. Yes. Merrill Streep can come out of a Holocaust situation. Most people can't.

You know, you just, there's just a lot. And so they don't try, and they shouldn't try. And they shouldn't. And you shouldn't try. I will not be doing any period pieces. That's my. That's my. Yeah, I want to play myself.

And that would be any, any. roles I ever get. I'm just like, can she just be kind of like a sassy girl that, and they, I'm always a photographer or, um, what's the other job they give girls that are just like? You could do one of those murder mysteries and it can be important to the plot, uh, for some reason, when you have your period. Yeah, perfect. That's a period piece for me. It would be slightly. That would be amazing. Different. I feel like, I feel like we could weave that into a plot. Oh, God. I got to get this role before I stop getting mine. knows that you were innocent because something with you. Oh, that's really good.

Yeah. And then someone says, but she doesn't get it anymore. She's perimenopausal. No. Yeah. You're too young and vibrant. Are you still in love? How's that shit going? Yeah, I'm still in love. I'm more in love than ever. Oh, that's so great. Thank you. Oh, as we talked about last time

as I did my part, my little part in the beautiful plot with the Hawaii trip. Yes. I feel like when the movie is made, That would be a significant act of our film is the Hawaii trip with us to. You didn't have your period on that trip, did you? I probably lied and said I did to avoid intimacy. No. No, I would never.

I would never. No, I'm so in love. I mean, but here's the thing, though, as you know, like sex gets hard. I do, but not even that anymore. Like, I'm just kind of going through a non-sexual part of my life, which is just tough to reckon. I got to get blood worked on. I got to, like, figure out why, like, not horny anymore, this poor guy. But we're so in love and, like, I had a breakthrough recently with him

where we were kind of maybe going to go our separate ways. And then, again, I was just, I just stopped, I just had an epiphate. Like, I just, it's so basic, but I just realized, like, no one I'm fantasizing about maybe replacing him with or, like, not even a real person. I'm thinking of no one's going to be perfect. And the things that aren't great about him are not me. It's him. I don't meet.

He doesn't need to be perfect for me. And it was really just about acceptance. And I, we've just been so good ever since. He's, he's become my creative partner. Like, I've really brought him in. And so we're like. Oh, he's such a funny guy. He's funny, and he just handles all the stuff I don't want to handle it.

He's a great person. Oh, I loved him. He's awesome. He loves you so much, too. And so, we're so happy. That's so delightfully honest, the way you put that and the way you said that, because most people would not say what you said out loud and everybody's thinking it,

which is like you said something like, anybody I could replace them with. And that's something people just don't say out loud. Oh, it's something I thought a lot. And I'm sure he thought it about me. But, and, you know, because it's crazy that we're supposed to be with someone forever. Give me a fucking break.

Look who you're talking. I know. I know I'm preaching to the choir, but like it's true. And he knows it's insane too. Yeah. And so we're just trying. to be partners and figure it out and...

Anyone can see, it's so hard for the people right in the middle of the eye of the storm to see, but I think the people on the outside, certainly, who see you, we know this is the guy. You're going to be with this guy forever. Yes. And he's going to be with you. You are, you could just tell it about some couples.

It's just like the electron and the proton or something. There's a connection. I really got lucky with him. fucking up my chemistry, but yeah, but you're so right. You're not going to do better. I'm not. And who are you going to replace him with? Justin Bieber.

Anyone I thought of is like someone that would require too much attention kind of wants the spotlight. He's totally fine with me being like the shiny one and supporting it. And also like I just, we got into like a huge fight once, which at a restaurant, but like a fight that no one else was witnessing because we were at a restaurant. I really recommend couples go to restaurants to like work on stuff because you can't Get out of line. If you're not drinking.

Except when they do that. Except when they do. And I've had that happen. Oh, God. It's not cool. Yeah, no. Well, we respect other people dining around us. So glad I'm not 27.

Oh, my God. And wouldn't go back to 27 even if I could. Oh, really? Well, I mean, because life is full of crazy shit like that. Yeah. Like, you know, some girl like storming out of a restaurant and you following her. Did you used to do that? Oh, so I, you know, did I go out with girls who got super drunk?

And then when they got drunk, they relived every fight you ever had. And yeah, did guys with psycho girls? Yeah, because when you're young, if someone's sexy, you don't care about anything else. I know. If there's one thing that you're so great to leave behind from your dumbass youth. Yes. It's shit like that. Yeah.

So, yeah, I mean, we've all been there. Well, I guess I had, when I drank, maybe I was there. but we got into a fight, and he was just like, you know, I was talking about how I'm, I'm kind of bored in this relationship. I was just, it's hard for me to say, but I'm like, I'm kind of bored. And he goes, I hate to say it, but you're one of the most boring people I've ever met. He said that to you? Yeah, and I go, and I laughed because it was the week after the roast, and I was one of the most Googled people in the world. And so I was like, oh, really? I'm boring.

But he knew he was being hyperbolic, and I knew what he meant, which is like, I don't like to do stuff. I like to do, I like to work. and when I'm I don't like to meet new people I don't like to go out and play sports and you know pickleball and like he's a very social person and I'm just not and he said and we later talked about it and I go I'm boring he's like it's not what I meant

and I know what you meant and he goes here's the thing though I don't care that you are I love that you are I'm not throwing it in your face I'm just saying if you're bored it maybe has something to do with you but I don't care that you're boring but you are and I was like that really hit me that I was like

I am boring and I am a lot of things. Like, I don't like the outdoors. My family loves outdoors. And I've always had shame about it. But he accepts me. You are not, you're assuming an assumption of what makes someone boring that I do not share. Going outside, all activities. It's so funny.

I just read a quote from some celebrity in the tabloids because you know I read the tab. Yeah, of course. Tats. I think it was Zoe Kravitz, who was talking about when she first got together with Channing Tatum, and she said to him, almost what you were saying there. She said, I just wanted you know, I don't do stuff. I don't do activities. I don't do things.

And I thought, I totally get that. I don't do a lot of activities either. My days of, like, traveling except for stand-up, really, I'm not, no, I'm not going to Paris again. I've seen it three times. Yeah. I could give reviews, you know. Totally. I get what's great, and I'm just not going back.

It's so exhausting. I know. I'm happy. We're in my house. Maybe that's. I like what I like. I like. I go to the same restaurants.

I don't like to take chances. I have enough friends. If I need to make new friends, I will. That's what I'm saying. What makes life boring to me isn't that I'm not hiking. It's that the people I'm talking to, whoever they may be, friends, girlfriend, the conversation is, well, you know, this also maybe you see each other more than I would see a certain person because I feel like that's the key there is like if you're together. enough, you run out of conversation. I've tried to fix my life so, you know, that doesn't happen by, in basketball, they would call it, you know, time management or like fatigue management. They

don't play the players every game now. It's like, no, I'm sorry, there's nothing wrong with LeBron, but he's got to, he needs to rest, okay? And I feel like that makes you better in the long one. But as long as the conversation, I don't want to go to, I'm the one who's like, no, I don't want to, that's it, because wherever we are, unless we're like having a good time talking about it, whether it's watching a movie or looking at the Grand Canyon, then I might as well be alone. Yes. And I don't want to go to the Grand Canyon alone. Yep. That's when I'm bored is really based on conversation and how open people are willing to be and how honest is really. Because everything else, when you're not totally honest, it's just lateral motion.

Oh, it's... It's an offshoot, but it's not this most exciting thing, which I guess to people like us is just... You're right. I'm the same way. Move forward. Like, what's new? What's realer? And sometimes that can be hurtful. And I like to debate a lot for...

I like people more after I get into a disagreement with them, and some people really don't understand that, and they think I'm mad at them, and they take it as really hostile. had to like pull back on it but I realized that's how I connect with people as being like so you think that okay well let's examine that no no no I really want to like and and oh man people can shut down I've lost some friends over it because they're like Nikki's too much you and I would be terrible together oh we've debated before but it's good because you like

right but I'm just saying like in a girlfriend that's like oh oh together together yeah I couldn't it would just yeah we would I'm too old no no no it's not it's not mainly you look great it's Thank you. It's that, and by the way, and you know what if this is just thinking of replacing you with it. But I'm just saying personality-wise, that's like the opposite of what could ever work for me. Really?

Yes. I'm a, but in a friend. I am what my mother used to call a pipe and slippers guy. Okay. I didn't think I'd become one, but that's what you are. Yeah, I like comfortable. I don't like, like, do I, I love to be told new information.

Yes. I totally don't mind being told I'm. wrong if you don't do it like an asshole and if you can show me why it's like oh great i'm yeah i thank you for uh stopping me at this moment in my life before i went out and said that to more people who would all think i'm stupid so thank you and that happens it does uh so it's not about that or ego it's just like i just like to be comfortable and and just tone and Love the night.

And so I would never talk in that tone because I think my parents talked in that tone a lot. Sorry if you're listening parents, but you did. Who else gets that tone from you, D-listers? No, just like my friends, friends. Like I say, D-Lister's? my friends for sure like and you know new people I meet other like other comics

I would say young comics that I'm kind of just like trying to rattle I would say maybe I have that kind of oh they must be shitting their pants when they meet you and that's something you went from the young comic not that you're not I was going to say when did this happen to like the person who now they're shitting in their pants

when they meet you oh god the other night there was a girl that was in the green room at the comedy store just like I just want to say like being in your like aura like I just feel like I'm funnier and I was like I haven't said anything I'm in my phone I'm scrolling like there's nothing but she was like just being it was it was really really sweet like it was so nice I your last special was awesome I did I did you wrote to me thank you so much I wish there was a better memory for specials I remember you at the end with you oh yeah I was acting out of gang bang but I mean I so many bits I loved and also I mean you know it had a

kind of a build that was very, you know, I feel like you took it to the next level. Thank you. Thank you. I really learned a lot watching you, especially. Oh, finish your thought. Just so many, so many just great points made so perfectly, comedically, but like also being intellectual about it, trying to say something. You know, you want to have those, like, kind of messages that change the way people look at things. But you also want to be funny. It's just, it's hard to balance. both of those. No, I mean, you're, it's kind of like this discussion we're having here. Your honesty about, especially the subject that is most sensitive of any, because when you think

about it, you know, the person who you let in as a lover now is potentially, just by that act of letting them in and loving you and loving them, just by that, they are now your worst potential enemy potential because they have things on you. Oh yeah. And ways to hurt you that no one else does. Yes. So if it doesn't work, or if it works partly by this mingled into the relationship, that's what who's afraid of Virginia Woolf is about. The Taylor Burton movie, you know, the one that's a famous movie they did in the 60s when they were married, Elizabeth Taylor was, you know, the Angelina Jolie of her day. I mean, nobody was bigger. and Richard Burton was her, like, her fifth husband or something.

I mean, she was, like, she, the paparazzi were kind of invented for her. Oh, that's right. Yeah, I mean, she was the original that. So she and Burton, they met on Cleopatra. She left her husband on the, at the time, on the movie she's making, and it was the most expensive movie in the world at the time, like a million dollars. And she was having, like, the chili from Chasins flown in from Beverly Hills. to Cairo.

I mean, it was, you know, it was really, it was all that. And, you know, they made this movie who's afraid of a Virginia Woolf, black and white. I think she got the Oscar for it. And it's just a couple who they are just always saying the worst things to each other. But it's also what keeps them together. Oh, yeah.

It's an amazing study. You'd like that. I definitely. should watch that yeah they were and uh you know he's a professor and so he's not really doing well and doesn't really turn her on and she flirts with other guys in front of them and belittles him for his achievements and then you know he just takes it and what that just sounds awful too close yeah i mean i could have been in something like that but yeah i we go to couples therapy now and that has been the most helpful thing i never thought he i mean he's

never would go to therapy on his own. That was in your show. And then we did it on my reality show just like as a bit for the show. You know, you got to go do shit on the show when you're someone who doesn't like to do stuff. Wait, it's called a reality show. Are you saying what I think you're saying? I'm saying that it was invented for the sake of the show for us to go. But we still see that same therapist from the show that we went to as like a bit for the show.

You know, three years later we still go to her. And we go every week whether we're doing well or not. Because we used to just go in for checkups. And now we go in just consistently. And it's just like. And what is the ref do in this situation? We literally just, she goes, how are you guys doing this week?

And then we will not have said any of this shit to ourselves because no matter how much we're like, let's get ahead of it and just like next time, let's not let it pile up. It will have piled up because it's hard to say things in the moment when your feelings get hurt and the person's busy and you don't want to bring it up. So we get a list of things that we go in with

and then we just air them out. And it gets like to the point where it gets a little bit, it can get a little ugly, Not ugly in terms of being mean, but like, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. You think that like both of us being like, how could you ever think that I would say? And no matter what, we always leave, like, so in love with each other, even if it's not resolved. Because we've just said the truth, and we both somehow are able to see each other's sides of things. Like, I just have really worked at being like, think how he feels in this moment.

Like, he's not trying to be mad at you for no reason. Like, you actually hurt him. He's hurt. Validate that. Like, whether or not he has reason to be hurt in your mind, he's hurt. And so try to understand what that would feel like. And that's really helped me to just, like, really stop and actually try to have empathy, not just sympathy.

Like, literally, what would it feel like to be dating Nikki Glazer and have her say that, whatever it is, I'm like, oh, yeah, that would be shitty. I can see, we can both empathize with each other. And, you know, I just, it's, it's the best. I recommend it to everyone. I would have never thought it would be so helpful, but it is. It's really, it's saved us. How does it then affect the sex life?

Like when you come out of those sessions, is it, do you want to, like, tear each other's clothes? Yeah, kind of. Yeah, we're kind of like, oh, you're so cute. Like, you got so, like, I'm very horny for, like, him being emotional and him being vulnerable. And so I'm usually kind of, like, horny for him. But then it's always at, like, 1 p.m. on a Wednesday, we have to, like, jump into meetings. So by the time, it's, like, nighttime, it's faded. So do you think they'll ever.

be a time when you won't need a third person to hold this dick to make this happen? No, I think we will always need a little, like, I always will need a trainer. Like, I'm never going to work out on my own and do the things I need to do. Even though I could, I know what to do, but I'm never going to do it. I need someone to tell me what to do. Like, for me to be in the best shape of my life, I need to go to classes and I need a trainer. I won't do it on my own. So I just feel like, yeah, I think I'll always, we'll always have this chick as our third.

and yeah it's just but who's to say that will last forever like I think that's the other thing that made me feel so much more comfortable in this is like it doesn't have to be forever like it's just for now but do you have like being an alcoholic just for today maybe this is a crazy idea okay but just to go in the complete opposite direction and say you know what maybe we're overthinking the whole thing and we're you know just just sort of institutional normal goings on in life, weekly checkups. It's a week. It happened. Let's go on. No, because shit piles up. And resentments pile up. And if you don't air them out, they will pile up over a year.

And then one little thing will set off this thing. And then he'll start, you know, like I will be mad at him about one thing he did that he doesn't even know he did. Then I'll kind of move this way. And then he'll sense me moving that way. And then he'll move this way. And then I sense that. And then I move that way.

And there's no, there's no way to get back together unless one of us breaks the dam. And I guess- But you can't do that at home in the bathroom? We can be like, you know, honey, you've been kind of distant the last couple of days. Did I do something? Like, you can't just do that without- Yes, and we do do that. But I think having a third person just makes it feel safe for both people. Does you get a ruling?

We get someone who, like, you can't say crazy shit when a person is, like, you can. But she takes sides? No, but she will be like, Nick. you sound like you, like the last week she was just like, Nicky, you kind of just shut down and just said sorry, and it doesn't feel like you, it just felt like you were just, and I go, well, of course I'm just going to say, yeah, sorry,

I won't do that again, because you heard him. He never reads the situation wrong, so if he never reads this, like, she kind of had my back in this moment, she saw a moment that he might not have seen and made me kind of stand up for myself. It's just, we both do you ever get mad and argue the call, like, you know,

like Earl Weaver back in the 70s, go out there and kick, yeah, yeah. I can't believe you said that he was right about that. And then you get thrown out of the session. So, no. But we, sometimes we fight so much and she's like, guys, guys! It's screaming over us. But I generally,

I'm not trying to sound like, pat myself on the back here. I go so that he feels represented. Because I want him to have someone on his team because he's new to talking about his feelings. He's new to like exploring the reasons why he might be doing these things. I've been doing this shit since I was 18

years old, like in therapy, picking a part why I act the way I act. I'm more versed in it. So I like that she's there for him. So like take someone like me who does none of this. Do you think I'm probably fucked up because I haven't looked under it? No, I don't. You just think it's a different. Some people do it this way and some people do it. Yeah, I just think, I mean, I think it would help if you were in a relationship that was like having the same issues over and over. There's no question it would help. It can only help. It wouldn't hurt. And so I think that it's just, yeah, it's just a, different way of doing things, but if I would absolutely recommend it to anyone, I don't think

it's like meditation. Like, it's not going to be horrible if you don't do it, but it really will add a lot and you won't know until you do it. I mean, at least that's what I've heard about meditation. I don't do it. Yeah. I used to. I was on Sam Harris's app, like addicted to it for a while. Yeah, I know. And I got away and then I, I just haven't gone back. It's so good. When I was doing it, things were good. In my mind, that's a good question. Because I you just get scared of it you get scared of sitting in silence you get scared of you know I don't have the time for it's like any excuse of like all the things that make you feel you scared you get scared of being alone with your thoughts if you're someone who's like running depressed

and anxious but but the whole point of it maybe is to not have thoughts correct bill no okay here's the thing about meditation that I know and I think Sam would back me up on this is that you are having thoughts it's the ability to see those thoughts and go oh it's a thought and just kind of let it go past. Right. So you're having thoughts the whole damn time. And sometimes you're don't, yeah, it's the whole time. Well, there's ways, look, here's how I, again, I'm not the best at this.

But I can, especially if I need to go to sleep, I can do this. Like, first I imagine, first of why I remind myself of what the brain is, which is, yes, thoughts are always incoming, incoming, incoming, incoming, and they can be random and they can be like about the song you heard in the morning and then it can be about what I have to do with the show tomorrow and then it can be about this person they're just incoming yeah I picture myself like in a room and they're all incoming and I'm just like okay I push them like okay I'm just I'm not you guys I'm not killing you or hurting you I'm just pushing you back so healthy so just to just to know where I am and then I I you know you do have a

that boring thing you're mentory, you're not supposed to say. Yeah, you're just something so if you have a song stuck in your head, no, you're not saying. You're just saying the same word over and over again. That's boring. And then, you know, if you close your eyes, you don't see blackness. What you see is like patches of light, and it looks to me like the universe. And I imagine, oh, it's a complete recapitulation of the universe.

It's just a little patch of light against the complete blackness. But that's probably, you know, a fucking galaxy form of it. And so, like, all this boring shit that's like, and now, if I, if there's a day that's going on where there really is something troubling, I am definitely not good enough to keep that thought out. Right. No, I mean, but in a normal day, I can because it is just, and what I try to tell myself at the beginning is, whatever these thoughts in that are coming in, just remind yourself from the beginning, you probably won't be thinking about them at all in a week. Yes. maybe not tomorrow and definitely not in a year so you know

I've been having this thing lately where I've and I've suffered with it forever but just instant regret of why didn't I it's usually with work things like oh my God it could have been so much funny if I would have told Bill that story or said that clip oh my God there's a line I had that was perfect that would have been so perfect it would have been clipped

and it would have gotten a million views and I'll beat myself up about it and I just lately and I can spiral on those lately I've just been like you have to put that podcast away it happened and there's you don't get to open it again it's I mean I just came from taping real time um that's every Friday night is I could have said or I should have said and what do you do with that exactly what you're talking about you have to it's tough you know if you're a perfectionist and you want to show you know I always want the show to be as perfect

as it could be. I mean, you're like, I'm okay, so yeah, you're like, oh, damn, and I feel almost like personally bad to the audience. Like, oh, I could have given you this even better, and they don't know it. And people go, they loved it, and I go, but they don't know how much they could have loved it. They would have loved it even

more. Exactly. I, you really want to be there for them. Yes. You want to be their hero. So it's like, I feel like, was I denied? Yeah, absolutely. The audience loved the show. You could just tell. And it was a great show. Al Franken was there. Lots of funny stuff. A lot of funny stuff to talk about. So much this week.

Yeah. But yeah, you're going to have those moments or in not just in our professional life. I have it in my personal life. I'm at a party and I leave. Oh, I should have. And the French have an expression for this. It's called Express Escalier stairway. Yes. And it means literally the thought you have on the stairway. Oh, God. As you're leaving. And then you pause.

The apartment, like, oh, I should have. Oh, I'll get, like, a feeling through my body that kind of just, like, radiates, like a pain. Like, Chris will sometimes in bed, I'll just go, oh, and it'll go, what? I go, I just should have said this thing that I didn't. And there was a great joke that I just left there. And you just got to tell yourself, nobody wins 11 to nothing. If you win at all in life, seven to five. I know.

You know, and so you got to leave it on the table. I know, I can't either. And there's nothing you can do. Like, just let it go. Because if there's something you can do right now, like, do it. But, like, you know, there's been times that- Once in a while, you can say it next week. Exactly.

And that's what I've learned is, like, just store it away from the next time or just tell it anecdotally. I could have said this thing and then it's funny. Sometimes they're gone because it was of the moment. Yes. And there's no way to get it back. But, you know, look. I've never been the type of comic who deliberately writes.

You know, that's like some comics, that was their thing. Maybe you do it that way. No, I do not. I don't either. I never have. Right. There's no record of my work anywhere. Really?

You don't write it down? I write it in my phone. Like, I jot a note in my phone, but I don't write like a sentence. Okay. Wait, what do you do? Well, I've been, I've been, I've always tried to be vigilant about when I, you know, we are just fucking around and think. and just getting high, really.

And something funny comes up. Yeah, write it down. Just write it down a little cocktail napkin. That's all I have reams of cocktail napkins. Do you put it in your phone guy? No, no, no, no. Old school. Old school, okay.

Computer, you know, put it in the computer. Okay. You know. But at a party, you'll just, you just find, like if you sit. I'm not going to do it. I mean, there was a time in my life when I was always doing it. Oh, yeah, we know that guy. And when I was first starting it, I had two.

not just one, but two little mini tape recorders. Remember the ones in each of my jacket pockets? Because I would, if I was doing an hour. Oh yeah. Oh, it would run out. So I'd have to find somehow on stage, turn one off and turn the other one. Oh, my God. I tried to do it surreptitiously too, like, you know, just.

But yeah. Well, I was obsessive about like listening back to every set. That's so good. Everyone should be, and they'd be great. Those days ended a long time ago, but I don't need to do it anymore. But you don't, because, so when you come up with something on stage now, what happens? Are you recording it? Do you go back and listen?

No, I go over the set immediately when I get off stage, and I usually remember if there is something, and then I get a transcript and see it. Okay, I'll do that. I usually just tell the audience, hey, will you guys just DM me the words, lobster ravioli? I'll know what it means. Like, I'll literally tell them because I go, I won't remember that otherwise. But it's, and then. Well, I mean, some bits, I just, lots of bits, just I would need one word because there's no, like, bad way I can say it. Yes.

There are other ones that it really depends on, like, almost the most precise order of the words and stuff. And if you say it wrong, it just is not going to have the same effect. Those, you kind of have to, I mean. Yeah, I do. Yeah. I do that eventually when I'm doing a special because then I, I bring in people to, like, actually help produce it. And there's like, where's the script?

And I go, I don't have one. And they go, we need one. And then you start typing out and go, oh, this is a mess unless I have it exactly. The way I edit comedy, mine, and the writers is just like trying to be aware of, like, with comedy, you can't go from A to C or D. Like, you're feeding them a certain amount of information. Sometimes they need very little to get started. Johnny Depp got divorced. Yes, okay, that's all we need.

Yeah. We don't need to explain a lot. You're so right about this. But you can't go from that to whatever. You have to feed them this. Okay, now I'm got this. And then I have this grasp on this. And now I can hear the punchline.

But sometimes that's all out of order. No, I think the biggest mistake that I see for myself or other comics when a bit doesn't work is not that the audience didn't think was funny. They just lost the thread. They don't know what you're talking about. You lost them. Right. You know what you're talking about because you've told us a thousand times

they need more details to get to where you're at. Or they are sometimes more but also what sometimes fucks up a joke is too many words. Too much. Too much. They don't need that much. Yeah. And that sucks because your act goes

from 30 minutes to 12 when you cut out all the fat. That's happened to me. I just remember being told by like a veteran comedian early on. Just tell the joke. Right. Tell the joke. joke. I was like, I don't know what that means, but it was just because I was talking too much

in the setup. Yeah. Yeah. The quickest amount. Like, people that just go up and ram, your first joke should always be the smallest to me. I'm so scared about getting that. Yeah, the first joke. I want to laugh as soon as possible. Yeah. So what do you do? What do you use? I mean, I used to use, like, I just turned 35 in June of 2017. You know, like something like that just kicks you. Like, your age is never going to be something that you can't go then talk about what's going on. You know, some kind of very quick thing. When I remember as a starting out comic, I hated it because unlike now, where you're a known quantity, you don't have that awkwardness at the beginning, like, who the fuck are you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes. You know, it's just a rotten feeling

a bunch of people looking at you at a comedy club. They just went to see comedy. Yes. Who the fuck are you and you're right you want to i my opening line in like the late 80s i think was like i'm from the east uh and then i would say like japan or something wasn't that funny no that is funny i think i've been to be like the osaka area i'm from back east yeah i'm from back east yeah i'm from back east something like that's so good and uh and then i would go right to into, I think, my impression of a New York City cop at the crucifixion. That was my second joke.

Oh my God, that's so fun. And that gets them right away. I mean, those two are, like, it's a bad. But it took me, like, years to get just, you know, like, I don't know, two or three years before, like, I even figured that out. Like, just do something right away that don't. Right away that makes them trust you. Yeah, don't fumfer.

They don't, because they have no trust in you when you first walk up there. The second that they, like, you can seal them relax when it's, comedy is just about making, because everyone in the audience is like, I can't believe they're just talking. Like, I'm so nervous for them. I would never want to do this. So you just, you have to remember everyone's feeling that tension for you, no matter how good you are. I mean, maybe at our level, they're not.

They know we're going to do a good job. But I think even then the audience, whenever I go see me, I project onto the performer and go, is she nervous? What's she thinking? And like the second you can just let them know, like, I've got this. I'm in control. They relax. I mean, I think some people have that feeling. I think you're giving a lot of people a lot more credit to me.

Yeah, maybe I just like. I think a lot of people are, first of all, like in a compliment. comedy clubs. Yeah, you're right. Some of them are rooting for that because it's interesting. Yeah, that's a good point. And other people are just like, I mean, they're, I don't know, I went to the comedy store recently and or the improv. I've drop in on each of them sometimes now. Do you do a set? No. You're just going to watch? It's so much fun. It is. It's funny. Comics are funny. Why don't you do a set? Why are you never doing sets around town? I don't know. Why? Because you don't need it. I don't need it. But isn't it fun? To do a... At a comedy club? Yes, Bill? No, I don't want to... It is.

I promise you. You need to be doing spots. Sometimes this was late. There was like 40 people in the audience. I don't need to... No, I don't need to go to Gold's Gym to work. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so you just drop in on shows and just sit and watch.

I don't drop in like anyone else. I go off to the door. You get a ticket. I don't get a ticket. They let me in. Okay, yeah. And then you just go... You sit and you watch.

Yeah. Oh, my God. For like an hour or something. I love that. Like, I'll be out to dinner with some people, and I'll be like, I don't want to go home. Yeah. And we're not going to go to a movie or, you know, sadly, not a bar anymore. And, you know, we're not going bowling.

Wait, why sadly not a bar? Because I drink. No, I don't really drink. I think I'll have a drink now. Okay. But mostly I don't. And I certainly wouldn't drink after dinner. Yeah, okay.

I mean, I never did that. That was, you're really a drunk if you do that because. You mean with dinner is when you drink. No. Well, no. No, I used to, and when I was a real drinker, I would drink before dinner because you want to drink on an empty stomach because it works. It works so much better. So, to me, like, as soon as you had the food, your night was over because it kills your buzz.

So many times I'd be out to dinner with people. And, like, I'd have a drink before dinner, probably a second one. And then the food would come. Everybody's eating. And I don't want to lose my buzz. Yeah. And like the meal is over for everybody, and I have not touched. And the waiter goes over and says, was there something wrong, sir?

I'm like, no. No, nothing's wrong. I'm just a slow eater. And then I would either wolf it down or take it to go. But it was deliberate so you wouldn't lose your bus? Totally deliberate. Were you an alcohol? Did you have a problem?

No. That sounds like someone has a problem if they're like trying, like, I don't think you have a problem. I'm not accusing you. I know you don't have a problem. I've been around you too much. And you're too successful. Well, now I have three drinks a week. So my problem is I can't drink because I'm too old to, you know, when you're 68 years old, you just, you're on a short leash.

No, I used to love drinking so much. And I never had a problem. A problem is like I can't stop. It affects my work. I had a problem like any normal person. Like I drank too much because I could get away with it. Had a great time. Also made me like a douchebag sometimes.

Yeah. But at 35, I was probably still going to act like a douchebag anyway. What? No, I get what you're saying. I wish I could. I stopped drinking 12 years ago, and I would love to be someone that just has one or two. And I think I could. But I just can't.

I just don't want to test it. Like, I just, I'd rather not even try because it's just too risky. There's too much to lose. It's so funny because I feel like I know your parents now. And I know your upbringing, I know your house, and I know that life. You know, I mean, middle class, great, nice people, kind of mid-American, white girl life. I'm like, why all these issues? I don't know.

It's so annoying and it's so, I really. It's connected to your talent. You know, people who are very talented, who have that thing. No, it's sometimes connected to a little bit of madness. Yeah. You know, you, Hitler, I'm just saying you're about. people like they were a genius at some things like he was with commanding a crowd like trump i'm not saying trump's hitler no you're not no hitler actually fought the russians

but yeah you got to be a little yes it's there's there's constant uh discussion of that the connection between madness and genius charlie chaplin who of course is almost a doppelganger for Hitler. They were born the same year. Oh, whoa. They became phenomenons, well, Charlie earlier, but, I mean, like, a level of mass adoration

that very few people have ever witnessed, we're seeing one now in Taylor Swift, but Chaplin was maybe the first show person who had that kind of like... Oh, wow. Oh, yeah, like when he went to London after, I mean, when he was at that level of the same, the

the headline, I think, in the London Times was just chaplain you know he was just in town it was just and he was what was it what was his crazy 12 year old girls for one charlie chaplain i didn't know that oh yeah jolly chaplain was he oh yes i mean of course this was in an era when nobody well that was did anything about it yeah oh he he married them i mean they you know i think there was a couple of suicides i can't believe i didn't know that he isn't i don't think he's been publicly canceled for that yet. Charlie Chamblin?

Yeah. Well. In that way, the way that everyone's gone. He was canceled in his lifetime. Like, way before canceling was a thing. He was, he was an expatriate. He moved to Switzerland because he was so unpopular here. He was a common.

Because of the young girl thing or just because of a little stuff? No. Yeah. They didn't care about that. Didn't blink an eye. No. No, but his politics were way too far left. Oh.

He was either a communist or he flirted with it. I can't, I don't want to quote, misquote. Yeah. But he was definitely on that, I mean, he was socialism plus, at least. And so I feel like, yeah, they Hollywood, and of course, the world went from silent films in which his genius, yeah, genius was, to talkies. And he never.

It's like the advent of social media where some people are just like, I can't, I don't what to do with this. Either me, yeah. Well, you're doing fine. You're all over social media for someone who's not on it. it. You're everywhere on it. Really? You get clipped a ton. Oh, yeah. I mean, your show and your podcast

do a really good job on there. Shout out. They do. They do. They really do. For you not really being involved in that, like you seem very much a part of it. But also, I must say... I don't see you do dances. We need to get you doing that.

I just don't... Maybe I'm missing it, but when I see other podcasts, I just don't see people getting quite as down and dirty. yeah no i feel like there is something about clubbred i don't know whether it's these club cigarettes i think it's i can't put my some of it's me some of it's the people i like yeah yes you know and we feel like it's just and there's nobody else in the room yeah that's good too we're just we're alone in here it's just you just and we don't have mics like in our faces that's what i'm saying it makes you kind

forget that there's cameras are kind of hidden i forget yeah i i i've a couple times during this well it's it's nice I because I just yeah that's why I've always liked you is just I've always felt since we became friends I can just be myself around I mean I was very nervous to meet you at first and like I don't know anything about politics how am I going to hang out with him it's just like oh he just likes people who are honest yes and then and that's that's what I like too but wait what's you're crazy what makes you want to what's why are you what like if everyone who's like drawn to comedy and you know oh what's what's yours that's a great question i i don't know um i'm pretty sane i think you know i have my quirks

but um cautious you know i feel like sane people are in general cautious yeah sometimes that can bleed over into paranoia but a little bit of paranoia is not a bad thing especially in the world where everybody's trying to get everybody yeah so excuse me for worrying about you know No, the press is my friend. Uh-huh. I forgot. Uh-huh. No, nobody's your friend.

No one is. Well, I mean, so we are, but, like, I'm talking about, like, people, if they can use your hide to advance themselves, they will. Uh-huh. But, you know, I don't, so, anyway, I just think I'm a cautious person. But you don't have, like, depression. I don't, like, I don't do stupid things. Like, people are always like, how did you get so rich? I'm like, never got married.

Mm-hmm. No divorces, no alimony, no stupid. but hobbies. I don't collect cars and motorcycles and jewelry and art and none of that would give me any pleasure. Yeah. So it was all gravy money. You know, it was a, yeah. And I spend it on what I just, I don't need to live like a, just comfort. I'm working on a bit about it, but like, I spend my money on Taylor Swift's concerts. Like, that's been my thing. I've been to 18 and 15 months. Does she know this? She probably does because I talk about it a lot, but I, um, I, I just travel and go see her any chance I have

because it's the most fun thing imaginable to me. And it's like, I can't really talk about it that much because people are just like, oh, must be nice. You can afford that. And it's like, I can because I don't have kids. Like, this is way cheaper than having a kid when I'm doing thousands of dollars on this. And yet it's just like, why don't people who have kids

ever get comments like, well, must be nice to have kids? flaunting your privilege it's like well it's just it's so strange to me that um i used to do a bit in my old act i guess the maybe women thought it was sexist but it was like yeah the the the parents who like have twins in the school play you know you can get off work what if i have twins in the hot tub that's so good that's so fun It's, yeah, I mean, not having kids is just turning out to pay off so well every day that I keep on this track. It's the best. Unless you love kids. And then it's. And yeah, it's, I get it. But I just, I'm really grateful that I just did something else that distracted me for it. But what a good opportunity for me to hear from someone this much of an authority on a subject I don't understand.

Yeah, please. I'm not putting Taylor Swift down at all. I think she's a great, um, celebrity and that she's so big and yet doesn't know anything too super crazy she's going out with a bunch of guys like not more than other chicks have over a course of 10 or 12 years exactly yes is she a little like i always need to have a girlfriend a boyfriend yeah but most chicks are that way a lot of chicks are like i know a lot of girls doesn't make a bad yes people don't like to be alone yeah and then she writes songs okay i just don't again not a put-town i just don't again not a put-town I just have no clue why she's at the level. Like if I did not know anything about it,

and again, I'm not that familiar with the music. But why the world decided that they don't agree on anything, but we've agreed that she is the greatest singer-songwriter who ever came down the pike. It doesn't strike me this way? Yeah. Is there something else going on? You need to listen.

Honestly, like, I think that it's the lyrics. It's the lyrics. It's the musicality. It's the melodies. Like, it's just I'm a fan of music. like good music. I was raised on good music. I was raised to, you know, my dad's, the way I am about to touch with my- What album should I start with? I honestly think, because you should probably start with folklore. Folklore. I think folklore. I think that's when a lot of, I want to say,

men got on board and said, wow, this is a legitimate artist. What year-in-this-this is her first COVID album. She put out two albums during COVID. Oh. And they're indie albums. They're like stripped down. She worked with a guy from the national the band that is very well loved and she won, you know, album of the year for it.

And it's, it's really that. She's just a great musician. And you know, for me, she kind of looks like me. She kind of around the same age. Right. Kind of has the same kind of voice. Like, I like things that are like me and that's probably why initially was like, what's going on with her? And it just so

happened she is one of the greatest artists that will ever live and you know and she just possibly saved our democracy i mean that's the crazy thing amazing power yeah amazing power we're talking about on the show tonight absolutely unreal it's and i was a fan for a really long time before it really caught on like it did and it's very validating to now be like i'm not so crazy but i am i really it's not normal i mean you can probably uh list on one hand and still have one to give somebody the finger, the number of people who got to that level. And again, Chaplin, I would say, is one of them. Maybe Frank Sinatra. Michael Jackson. Elvis, the Beatles. I mean. But, you know, had real cultural impact. And

yeah, I mean, it's so, okay. Yeah, it really, it's the music, though. It's, you know, I want to say, like, oh, she really speaks to the woman in me and speaks about breakups and love and emotions. And it's all of that. But it's really, I mean, there's just no question she's just a brilliant musical artist and just knows how to write a hit. Wow.

And just it's... Well, yeah. I like Sparks Fly. It's a great song. Yeah, they're more like that. Yeah, okay, you're a fearless, girlie. Okay. What does that mean?

Fearless. Fearless is their first album. It's her second album. I wind up with one of those fucking bracelets. I'm going to fucking beat you over the head with it. I think you, I will be sending you a bracelet because I really think, I think fearless and fearless and speak now are going to be your albums. But not the bracelet.

It would look so cute on you. It really would be such a nice touch. I'm begging you. I'm totally sending you one. There's no chance I'm not. Come on. But thank you for being open to it. That's all I ask.

I'm totally open to the music. and I should have listened to it before now. I don't know. Whenever something came on the radio, like, shake it off. If you like... I mean, there's a song I do have heard. Yeah. And that's a song that made me go, what the fuck is this phenomenal?

Well, she wrote that song. Okay. But like, I don't... That's, listen, it's okay to not like shake it off. Okay. I'm not saying I don't like shake it off, but it's okay to not like shake it off. It's just one of many different kinds of songs she has. Okay.

And she's capable of a lot of. lot more than that but that was okay that was a moment yeah but you're gonna you're gonna get into it have you ever do you like going to concerts um you know that's another thing that i'm gonna put under that list of activities i thought it was you know it's like i've been to concerts and i do have loved them but it's a lot of michigas getting in and getting out it is and you know and the encore lines to the bathroom yes it's just it's just it's a lot and getting out of the parking lot and I know, you know, should we beat the crowd? But no, you want to hear the best.

You know, it's a lot of people, some drinking. It's a... Yeah. I don't think, you know... I mean, that, like, they filmed the Billy Joel concert that he's been doing. Oh, yeah. Forever at Madison Square Garden, one of my all-time favorite artists.

There's a genius. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Have you been to Madison Square? No, because I saw the thing on TV. Because you saw it. It was not made for an Emmy against me. And, you know, did I feel it in my bones the way

I would have if I was, but no. Kind of. Sometimes. It's good enough. But it's good enough. It's good enough. That's why I tell people about the ERAs tour because you know she's been doing this. I don't have to smell of sweat, you know.

I take your wordy sweat. Watch the ERAs movie if you have Disney Plus. Just watch that. That'll give you, like, that'll take you through her whole catalog. She's gorgeous. It's really nice to watch. Somebody who needs to be brought up to speed on the whole thing. Watch.

Watch. It's like, it's three hours long, but just put it on. Sure. and work your way through it and you'll have a good time. Great. That's what I'll do. But I'm, yeah.

So it's like the best of each era. Yeah, that's what she does. And each era is an album. So it's like, you know, 10 or 11 albums at this point and she just goes through each one and it's awesome. Well, I'm sure you will meet her someday.

And we have a little surprise, Nikki. Backstage. Oh, can you imagine she's been crouching there the whole time? Tell her. I honestly got a little nervous. Yes, she knows your event. and she wants to personally give you a...

Oh, no. I am so happy to be a fan. Like, I want to stay. Like, I don't even... People are like, when are you going to be friends? Of course I'll be friends with her if she wants to, but I'm not forcing it. And I love being a fan.

No, I did do some jokes about, you know, my boyfriend's a football player. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Which... I've seen him. Do you think that... I've scrolled past Angrily and said, I'm not going to like those, no, no, no, no, no, no, of course not.

Okay. You're always so... I do, I do, I do, it hasn't started yet as we're talking about, as we're talking about this, but by the time this airs, it will have happened. I do, for Thursday Night Football, for Amazon, I do their after show. I do, like, a speed roast of the football game that I write during the football game and then do a little, like, kind of... Wait, where is this? Where am I going to see this?

On Amazon Prime, Thursday Night Football, like on their after show. I just watched it. Yeah, yeah. Did you do it Thursday night? No, I'm starting this next Thursday. Oh, good, I didn't miss it. Oh, perfect. Yeah, it'll be like a three-minute roast of the game.

And I don't know anything about, I mean, I'm learning about football. It's like, honestly, I'm trying really hard, but it's, it's a really complex game. But it's fun. And I'm looking to get obsessed because I, you know, Tiersov's not going to be on tour forever. And I need, like, a new thing to become, like, obsessed with going to, because I really like going to, like, stadium. So the 18th time, not over it in any. Not over it at all. You get to dress up like her.

You get to, like, dance and sing all night. I'm not thinking about any. of my problems, I feel young. Who do you go with? I bring, like, friends. I bring my, my mom's been to, like, eight shows with me. Wow. I bring my, I brought my parents to, we went to Dublin, we went to Zurich, and we went to

Amsterdam three times. Like, I just followed her around the summer. And I bring out friends, I just fly out friends that I think, like, I'd like fly out you. I'd be like, you, you can be convinced. Come with me. And then would you go? If I have to give it on the bracelet.

You have to wear a bracelet. But, no. Yeah, I bring people who are kind of on the fence and I go, just come with me. Okay. No, I'll watch it. Okay. Yes, yes. Look, if I wouldn't leave the house for Billy Joel.

I can't afford another ticket, to be honest with you, Bill. So that was a false invite. How much of the tickets? I mean, they're crazy. I'm going to try to go front row in Miami, and I think it's like maybe going to be $10 grand for one ticket. Right. But, you know, that's, I don't.

You can get front row? You know, they're resellers that are just, they're marked up on Stubhub, but it's, I'll wait till the day of and see what happens. But yeah, I've, I've spent a lot. I think the most I've spent is like $7,500 a ticket for my mom and I to be front row one time. It was so fun. And I never get tired of it. And people go, is the show, what does she do differently each time? I go, you already were in the front row? Yeah. And did she acknowledge you? There's so many people in the front row. It's a big stage. No, no, no. And I wouldn't expect it. You didn't think you saw a little something in the eye like, oh, hey, Mickey Glaze. I don't even want her to like look at me. I just feel it'd be

Too distracting. No. God, that's what they used to say about Jesus and the old religion movies. They would just be a glow and the camera couldn't even show it because he was Jesus. And then the people would just look down.

I almost feel that way. That's really disturbing. Because you know what's disturbing about that? Like if she said vote for Trump, then he'd win. I know. Oh, that's not good. I know, but she didn't.

No. so I'm okay with it yeah I'm okay with her power as long as she's on the right side of things I think I said this tonight on our show Trump that's a cult but so is this it is a cult and you know maybe a cult leader can be you know good for good and not evil I think she generally is that's why I say I have no reason to put her down or desire to and I always have the greatest respect for a success but if you're at a level of success that's enormous that always has has my attention, my respect, I could look at it and go, well, you know, that's because people don't have great taste. I could. I'm not saying about that. I certainly have said that

about other things that were massive. Not everything that's massive means it's great. No, I agree. I agree. And a lot of times it's not. At most of the time it's a bad sign if it's massively popular. Don't get me started on writer's embellishment. Hot pockets. I don't know. Many things that our friends have appeared in. Yeah, and cultural things that people think are great milestones that I don't. Yes. But I do respect, and I do respect what she has achieved. And yeah, you're right.

This, in elections that we have now are so close, razor sharp. I mean, Trump won the first one. He pulled an inside straight. And basically with, I mean, 70,000 votes or something, was it across three states? Something's so small. I mean, she registered like 400,000 people. I mean, right there could be the difference. I mean, that's a number.

Well, that's how many people went to the link. Did that many people register from the link? That's what I read, but I don't know. That makes me sad. Like, how is this the reason that you do it? I'm glad it's the reason. Whatever gets you to do it, but really? So do you get like a, is there a fan club, a newsletter?

Is there a, no, like the Beatles used to put. out a special Christmas album just for the fans. Not an album. One song. They would sing some chanty or something. Oh, yeah. And do you have something like this with the Taylor Swift? She does stuff for... She's constantly doing stuff for us. Like, she sees us. That's another

thing that's like... But there's no formal club? Oh, there's no formal club that she's created, but there's there's clubs which we have created as fans ourselves. Different forums. And what if I wanted to join the club? You would absolutely be... No, only if it was a formal club. I'm not just fucking around. I want the Christmas record. She's not giving us any, no, she gives everyone equal stuff.

I don't think there's any club where you get like special releases or something. Do you want my prediction about the love affair? Yeah, I have one too, but I'm not going to share it, but yeah. I think, I said this, Harvey Levin, and I have a gentleman's bet about it. He's got a dump her. It's just what guys like that do. They get the fuck stink on them of like a celebrity woman, and then they're a maid man for the rest of their life.

and that's what's going to happen. It's like, you know, Pete Davidson, as soon as he got with Ariana Grande, he was a maid man for the rest of his life. And I feel like this is what's going to happen. If I ruin your night? Quite possibly. I think Travis is different.

I think he's different. I've met him. He's a very nice guy. Oh, he's a charmer. He is a charmer. He's very talented. I just don't think you let's... I think Taylor Swift doesn't...

You just don't let something like that go. He knows what he has. Spoken like a true cultist. Truly. You don't get better than that. Well, and he... Of course, you don't know what goes... I mean, you only know her from afar.

You don't know what she's... I mean, no one knows what goes on. Speculate all day, but yes, of course. In a relationship or what people are like. I mean, why do you think he's stuck if he's the one and all the other, I mean, there was the actor guy, the English actor guy, the other English actor guy. actor guy and wasn't the guy from 1975, didn't he have a cup of coffee with her? Yeah, but this guy is a, Travis is lucid and of like he's...

Lucid? Like he's... The others weren't? Kind of, I would argue. The English actor dudes, they look very lucid. No, okay, I can't speculate, but I think that, I don't know, I can't say anything. can't. And it's not a cult, but I swear something horrible will happen to me if I speak ill of our leader. I mean, the rules are the same as Scientology, but it's not a cult. It is. It's so

delicate that I'm like, I can't even talk because it's like, I know what it's like to be treated, well, to be treated like a suppressive person. You don't want to be a suppressive person. I get it. Oh, I get it. Oh, you do? Let's move on. I don't want to put you a, I mean, You seem genuinely... It's honestly, is that if you're Swifty, like, you can't have anything bad to say. And I honestly, I'm checking myself and I'm like, I honestly don't have anything bad to say, but I definitely can't even, like, have a conversation around bad things. That is how much...

I was talking about the boyfriend, not, I mean, John Mayer and who, all the guy... Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I would... I mean... You know, like, those didn't work out because she didn't want them to. That's what I would say. You know what? You've got to kiss a lot of frogs.

And, I mean, like I said before, just like any other girl of that age, she's had a bunch of boyfriends. Who hasn't? Who hasn't? Especially if you're an attractive girl like her? Yeah. She makes her own money. And the kind of guys that are, like, coming at you.

She could pay for dinner. And everyone knows you're single. Like, of course she's going to jump into something new. The second she gets single, it's on headlines. People are DMing her, reaching out to her. You find someone new right away. Most girls, they're single and they have to wait around on Bumble for weeks. Like, who do you even tell?

Like, everyone knows, and it's famous hot dudes who are so talented, who you may have had a crush on even before you were with that guy, who you may have watched their movies as a kid growing up. But, like, it'd be so easy to just jump from guy to guy in Hollywood. Of course. I'm looking to, but I've got to be stuck with this guy for the rest of my life because he loves me for me. It's bullshit.

Do you know who I could be dating right now? Oh, my God. I could really, I could do well. Who? I mean, I don't know. You could. By the way, take this for what it means. You look the best I've ever seen your look.

Now, maybe you, I always have this thing I say about the Oscars. Yeah. Like, it's the most attractive people, very often the actresses are the most attractive, the Margot Robbie's of the world. Yes. And they're tens. And somehow on Oscar night, they find a way to turn it up to 11. Yeah, they find no way.

I don't know whether it's a calonic or like the things or whatever it is. And you look like you turned it up to 11. I did. Yeah, you just. I had a lot of treatments this week. I saw the right back there. Okay. I saw the right.

I found out who to go to. I got the secrets. You could definitely be a half of a power couple. I could. And you know what? That's how you become famous. It's it. It's most of it.

I have to like fucking work hard now when I could just go and date. I could have done that 25, 20 years ago and I was like, no, you know what, I'm not going to and I knew it would help me a lot but I'm not going to do this to this woman because

a week later I'll be with some other woman out in a restaurant and then she'll be humiliate. I'm just not going to it's just not going to end well and so I never did. Oh, that's noble. Yeah, well it was also self-preservation and it would come back and you know who wants an a list woman mad at you no you're so right okay so and i know i

couldn't live up to it so but yes like there are this town is full of guys who want exactly what you're selling famous still hot um perfect cougar age they like this town is full of pretty boys who want some yes 10 years old and who would introduce me me as an older woman to a whole new audience so i would be yes it would be it'd be amazing yeah i got to call chris Poor Chris. Chris wants, is if he's supportive of my career, he needs to step aside. I mean, I love him, so I feel like it was terrible being to say. But it is true.

Let's do it. Let's act it out just as a fantasy because I think you could be with, let's see, who's available? Jake Gillenall? I think he's in something. I don't think I could get him, to be honest with you. Yeah, that's, like, it's a male-mouth comedian. I'm not going to get an A-lister. Like, I might get a young A-lister, but not at all.

maybe. I don't know. I don't know either. I really don't even, I just know that I could have some fun and be photographed with some people, but I don't know if anything would, anything, but that is a big part of it. I mean, I remember Chris Evans. Oh, yeah. Got with Jenny Slate. Yes. Oh, that was so big for female comics that day. That back broke. We were like, we can do it. He likes, he likes us for personality, a guy like that? No, I mean, she's stunning, but I mean, like, it was still, like, so... So, if that happened...

Yeah. Okay. I think we have to think of that as the model. Yes. So if that happened, I don't know. He just, he's a newlywed, so he's not on the market. No, he's not. But who's in the... Oh, you know...

I think I know who you're thinking. I know. Listen, I've thought about it, too. I don't know what they, unless to spike my drink or something. No, it's awesome. So I can't think of his name, but he's like the new. No, we don't need to say his name. I know.

We both know exactly. I'll show you a picture and you just say yes. Or wait, hold on. Where's my phone? I can tell you what he was in. Well, yeah. He was in, it was not really good, but he's a charming guy. He was the lady from euphoria.

Okay. Wait, wait, maybe we're not thinking of the same person. No, who's the blonde? Sidney Sweeney. He did a, okay. Yeah. That guy. Yeah.

The serri- Yeah. That guy would put you into the stress room. Yeah. And he's a smart guy. He's not, he also wrote a movie with somebody that was good about a hitman or something. Not that that's original. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That was good. They had an interesting take on it. We liked it. And he's just a. No, that's like the perfect kind of person. that I'm like, huh, could I? And probably not, but it's, it would. No, a lot of times, you know what?

And don't take this the wrong way. And, of course, when someone. I can't wait for this. Holy shit. I can't even wait. Oh, what, what's this going to be? Whenever a comic says the words, don't take this. It's about to be the most offensive thing I've ever heard.

It's really not. Okay, no, I trust you. But you look great. But a lot of times, those kind of pretty boys, they don't want the prettiest girl. No. And that's why I'm perfect. It is. I'm not a Margo Rock.

I'm nowhere close to it. So let's get like they want, yeah, I think it would actually be the right thing. Yeah, I'm a little off. Who have we been working with on the road lately? You see comics more. I don't see other comics. I don't. I don't work with anyone on the road.

I mean, I bring up my friends to open for me. Right. Like who are the up-and-coming comics I should be keeping in line. Well, my friend just got, my friend who I brought out and who I I feel like I partially discovered. He was like the guy who picked me up. I was doing the Comedy Attic in Bloomington, Indiana. The Comedy Attic?

Yeah, in Bloomington, Indiana. Great club in Bloomington, Indiana. Years and years and years ago, probably eight years ago. And 10 years ago, and he picked me, he was the door guy that they sent to go pick you up at the airport. And he instantly was my friend on the car ride, an hour and a half from Indy. I'm just, I love this kid. I gave him a guest at that weekend. I'm like, you do comedy?

I don't even need to see it. You're great. Let's do a guest set. He became my opener on the road for many years up until even recently, and he just got cast on SNL. Ah. Emil Joaquin. Yeah.

So that was really exciting. He's this young 26, I think, and he's a cast member. By the way, the Comedy Attic, I have to say, of all the comedy names I've used four comedy clubs, like The Comedy Barrel, or Uncle Chuckles, laugh. That was a pretty good one. The Comedy Add. Feathers is one of my favorites. Go bananas.

I think I worked at Go Bonanza. Oh, yeah, Cincinnati? Yeah. Oh, man. I was in Atlanta last weekend at the lovely Fox Theater, I believe it's there, and played it many times. And for some reason when I was driving in, I just was, like, flooded with memories of the first time I played Atlanta. Oh, yeah? What club?

It was 1982. It was, what was it? I don't know, but it was run by three Italian guys. And when I say Italian, I'm not saying that there were any connections to, but who knows, you know. But it was 1982, and they were from Cleveland. That's where they had, I think they had the comedy club in Cleveland, but Cleveland is cold. And they were probably turf wars and God knows where. And they were like, let's find paradise.

in Atlanta in the south where the women are easy and it's warm and they opened this club and it was like when the comedy was just first versioning like that right right and so like the audiences were so good you know they were just they were like they had been starved for laughing you'd think they'd never laughed in their life that's so fascinating yeah they would you would never go somewhere just to laugh like it was oh they just and they were you know I remember doing it right before I did my tonight show and thinking, oh my God, I am the greatest comic who ever got on a stage. You know, you just, and they were just because they were, you know, it was a new thing. And I think we did three shows on the weekend nights.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. 7.39, 30, and 11.30. Oh, my God. Brutal. But you don't even remember what jokes you've done on the other shows, so you start almost repeating yourself. Well, that's a nightmare that I have such a fear of that.

I only did it once. whole life. I do two shows night sometimes. But it was so traumatic. And I go, and I'll be in the middle of joke. And I go, did I already say this? And they're like, no. I'm like, oh, I'm too old to be doing two shows in a night. You just quit. And then you don't do jokes that you think you did. But if you do two shows, you have to stick to a script. I know. And I don't have a script. Right. I'm always just picking willy-nilly. That's all, that's how I do it. Wow. And so, yeah, I, that's what I'll just do. See, you're a real artist. You just get up there and winged. I do. I do. It's lazy. I mean, it goes back to the same bits, right, that you've done.

Oh, yeah, yeah. It's, I'm not, it's not off the top of my head. No, that would be hell. I'm not that kind of comic. But, yeah, it's all stuff that I've thought of before, but it's just like, I just pull from it as I go. And again, that's like, it's kind of like I was just talking about getting face stuff done. Like, I like the risk in it. Like, I don't, I don't have a fucking safety net. I don't have a set list written down. Like, what am I going to do? And if I get too comfortable, I'll have a little weed before I go on stage because I go, then it's going to be really hard to figure out what I'm going to do next because I'm like, hi. And like, I like, I like the adrenaline of like what's going to happen. I could die. That's why I like, that's why I kill on roast. That's why I kill on like live. Like I, you know, doing, you know, couches on late night shows, like stuff where you have to have like a script memorized and you got to nail it and it's live and everything can go wrong. I really thrive in those settings. Well, I mean, that's what I, what I first, you know, this story, but, you know, I saw you do whatever was the ones you used to do, Bruce Willis or whatever. And I just said, okay, I mean, I've always been pretty good at spotting a talent. And I was like, yeah, and then Tauai. But I mean, even before that, I mean, you could just tell

who's got it. Oh, that's really. But it is. The more I hear you talk about it is, I do think the two things are connected, the genius and the madness. Because, you know, anybody who wants to live that much on the tightrope that's yeah you're going to be a little you got to be a little crazy i don't do well with like and uh safety but i think i think uh what's his name you know uh yeah definitely because i think he yeah because those pretty boys they it's almost like the the usual, the conventional male-female dynamic is very often reversed. Because for them, it was easy always. Right.

Most guys, like, it's the greatest sunum-bonum in life is that you can get a girl who you want to have sex with. What did you just say? The greatest good. What was it? What did you say? Oh, sorry. No, I want to learn a new word.

It's Latin. It's sunum-bonum means the greatest. Sunum-bonum? Yeah. All right. I like it. I would have been listening to this podcast and been like, what is that word? and looked it up and added it to my word a day counter.

I love learning new words. Sorry. Jordan Peterson was here. I'm still talking. No, I like it. I yearn to talk that way. The greatest good. Yeah, yeah.

And that was always like if you're not that pretty boy type or like a rock star or something, you know, you just never have had that automatic, you know, a faucet turned on. It's just flowing out of it. You're just like every time you get any girl to like you, you're thinking this could be the last time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This could be the last time. Do you feel that way? Do you still have that? But I did when I was that, when I was young.

Of course, absolutely. But now, you know, it's endless. I very often got with someone who I shouldn't have been with because I was like, I meant this. No other girl might ever like me. I mean, that's really where, how painful it is to be that young and dumb. So I need to take advantage of that is what you're saying. Okay, all right. I'll get out there again.

I think, yeah, so like something a little challenging. Okay, I have something new to bring up a couple's therapy this week. Is the different, is the different, guys like strange. For a guy like that, strange is not, you know, Margo Robbie. He, you know, he's known that. Okay. He, you know, but, you know, and also like. Wait, aren't you friends with my boyfriend?

Love him. Love him. You're really selling this. This new story. Well, it wouldn't last. We'll open things up. First of all, it wouldn't last for more than a year. And then it shouldn't. It would just give you the publicity for that year.

It would put you in the stratosphere. It would be a Saturn 5 rocket. Okay, yes. And you just said you're bored with each other. It would be so hot. So hot when you got back together. Oh, my God. But, yeah, and of course this wouldn't last more than a year, but it's fine.

But it would be a great year. And I think he'd have a great time. I think it's... Yeah, he should go... And it would be very hot while you're in it. It would. I'm telling you. Okay, I'll consider it.

I truly... I like how it's just up to me to make it for this to happen. I'll think about dating Glenn Powell. Oh, that's him. Because I know people are listening going, well, who are they talking about? That's him. Well, there was this actress named Ellen Barkin.

Oh, yeah. She was, I thought she was hot, but she wasn't like the classic. She got like hot in her 60s. Okay. You're okay. It's so funny. Exactly. No, she did.

I mean, okay, what were you going to say? I thought that's what you were going to say. Sorry. What were you going to say? Well, she, I mean, I think you're like. cuter than her. And she was, I thought she was cute. But she didn't, certainly did not have that classic look. And she was the hot one. Everybody, you know, yeah, she was. And before that, there was a woman, when I was a kid, Karen Black, she kind of was cross-eyed, but she was

sexy. Okay, I'll work on that. Like, I'm telling you from personal experience in life, The absolute prettiest ones are not always the ones where it's the greatest sexual attraction. Okay. And stuff like, you know. All right. So, like, it doesn't make it hotter. Like, a vapid model who looks the best, it can be, like, death in bed. Oh, oh, yeah.

I'm sure of it. Right. Not that I'm anything to. No, I think we all look at you. I'm pretty fun. I think we all look at you and think you're fun. Yeah, I do. That makes me so happy.

Yeah, you have a lot of masturbating fans. I'm sure you do. Okay, that's nice. I'm not like that, like, I'm not anyone, I never, I don't really like to be on top because it just doesn't feel that good for me. I will for the person, but like, I'm kind of a layback, but I'm very, I talk a lot. Guys like that. Yeah.

They like the domination. Yes, I like that. Like, I don't really, I'm not, and that. And that's the problem is that a lot of times men are attracted to what they see on stage with me of like ball buster roaster and I'm like in bed, I am the literal opposite. And see, that's even better because it's like she's a ball buster, she's a ball buster, she's a ball buster. And then when I get my dick in her, she obeys. Yes, exactly. Yes. Okay. Well, there's nothing hotter. There's nothing hotter than that. People magazine, most beautiful person of the year, they're calling right now. Glenn Powell is on speed dial as we. Where's my phone? All right.

Well, I'm going to let you get out to your parties to, because he's probably at one of these parties today. All right. Right? From your mouth. I bet. And you can tell him what we talked about. And then this will air and it'll prove it.

All right. I love you, though. I love you, too. I wish you could have been more open and forthcoming. I'm sorry. But yeah, you know. I've been hurt before. It's great that I could pry it out of you.
