Nikki Glaser Podcast.
Here's Nikki.
Hello, here I am.
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, whatever it is.
It's Monday on the Nikki Glaser podcast.
Oh boy, what an episode we have for you today.
Actually, I don't know what it's going to be, but I have a feeling it's going to be good.
I'm in a good mood.
I'm clocking in at like a, if I'm doing a BSB, body, soul, what's the last one?
Body, soul, brain.
Brain, yes.
Body is like a six six which is fine um soul i'm cranking in at like
a nine and a half brain eight eight and a half what about you noah what do we bsb backstreet boys
good everything is like i would say like eight like eight nine eight eight across eight nine
across the board oh that's great that's great um yeah kirsten's here she's gonna be on the show later andrew's in a good mood today
so am i i um i got him two breakfast sandwiches today um he doesn't know he thinks it is out of
the goodness of my heart it was really to complete uh the starbucks challenge on the app today
which is if you buy four breakfast sandwiches before between October 28th and November 1st,
you get 80 points.
What is 80 points?
It's 150 points is a free drink.
So pretty much 80 points is like $3.
So I spent four times.
I spent.
It's really if you do the math, I lost money, but I wanted those 80 points.
And yeah, I don't know what's wrong
with me i follow these little games on the app and um and this morning my app wasn't even working
and i almost was just like i almost lost it because i'm just like i can't i'm not gonna get
starbucks without contributing to my points and if my app doesn't load i can't get those points
it's just like what is happening i'm such a consumer it's embarrassing
um do you do any kind of point system noah are you like a do you do like the grocery cart like
grocery stores super saver card anything like that sephora points yeah honestly so um if i if
i go to like i try not to go to starbucks even though I have been, but when I go to my local coffee shop, they have those punch cards.
And whenever I finish it, I just feel too guilty to ask for a free coffee.
I can pay for a coffee, so I don't even ask for one.
Wow. Oh my God.
I just don't want it for free.
That is so altruistic.
Is it just because you are too
embarrassed to be like i want a free thing i just don't want to take from a small business yeah it's
a small business thing okay but i do save it just in case i you know like i want to give it to
somebody else or something that's sweet maybe like a homeless person right that would be a good gift who just needs to be i mean coffee does
make you feel um to me it makes me feel happier honestly so yeah i mean it it does that's why i
drink it i don't even think it's about so much like feeling more awake i think it's just a well
i'm addicted to it obviously I love the ritual
and it is my one vice
because I don't drink I don't smoke
yeah I mean
it is a
but you don't drink it
in inordinate amounts like what are you doing
one cup a day just one
oh my god and it's like you get like a small
coffee and I even offered to buy you Starbucks when I was
here or when you were here.
And you're like, no, I'm actually good with the coffee at my hotel.
And I'm like, what?
And I love that you even have a barometer of what tastes good.
To me, it's just, you know, I need, I just need Starbucks
because I need the, it's about the milk.
It's about the syrup. It's about the milk. It's about the syrup.
It's about the cup.
It's about the ritual.
Yeah, the weight of the cup in my hand.
Yeah, the ritual of it.
It's so, but it is, it's one of those, you know,
I've talked about coffee addiction
or caffeine addiction a lot on this podcast,
but it's one of those things if
you start doing a little search on it and i don't think you have a problem with it with one cup a
day that is like that's like someone who has one glass of wine you don't drink at all anymore no
no not at all did you ever i feel like you drank oh yeah you used to drink a lot a lot a lot a lot
a lot oh and then when i got on antidepressants for the first time, I was like, I don't want to take a depressant and an antidepressant.
I was so worried about my brain exploding that I just was like, I don't need to drink.
I'm going to quit because I want to focus on this.
Good for you.
I mean, was that hard for you to go from?
But did the antidepressant do the job of the thing that alcohol was doing for you yes so i guess i always
say that i'm i'm too lazy to get addicted to anything like it's just that's true i just don't
so it was like i i do i do everything cold turkey. Right.
You know, like I used to smoke cigarettes one day.
I just got so sick of it.
I just was like no more of this.
How long did you smoke for?
Like in my 20s.
Actually, I think I started at like 18 or 19.
Cool.
And I would say like four years on and off. Yeah, me too.
I was definitely very addicted to cigarettes and it
was the ritual of that like going to bars a reason to go step outside a way to socialize
and then it starts making you uns antisocial because you smell bad yeah some less and less
people smoke anymore so you would have less people to hang out with and now it and
then it's like it becomes yeah the book that i read to quit smoking was just like you think it's
social but it's actually alienating you from everyone and like that's what addiction does
like my coffee thing like i have so many like now i'm just like i like what i like i know that the
best way to quit something is to accept that I need it right now.
Having guilt about, oh my God,
I have so many coffees a day.
I need another Starbucks.
Oh my God, the people at the store
probably think I'm so crazy.
All that stuff, I just let it go.
If I want it, I just let myself have it.
And the gentleness with which I'm not,
I try not to judge the things that
my mind instantly goes why are you doing this you're failing and and when i'm nicer to myself
about it i'm just like you want it it tends to fall away quicker but caffeine addiction is so
gnarly dude it's it's the yeah the withdrawal symptoms are what we're all they're the worst even on one
cup of coffee if i skip it i just have a a terrible migraine and i just feel sick what the hell that's
the i mean what does obvi say about it he's someone who's very like mind body he's a bsb
he's very disciplined but he loves his coffee yeah. I mean, it's just one of those things that is so culturally ingrained in us
to not feel like it's a habit that any of us should feel guilty about.
And guilt is not what I'm trying to put out there.
It's just awareness that it is a thing that people cannot live without.
And the second you're like, people i'm not addicted it's like okay
try to go one day without it then just try see what happens like you'll be irritable lethargic
headaches you know it's it's it's brutal um but i'm just like whatever you know i i read how people
are and on and off it on this uh subreddit decaf which is all people getting off coffee
and the stories that they tell are just like you know my anxiety went away we're pretty much
drinking cups of anxiety and we're all wondering why we have anxiety disorders because it makes
your it makes you have anxiety it's pretty much that it makes you agitated it adds to it but
you know i can sleep with coffee in my system I can it doesn't it's a drug that
doesn't have the same effect on me Conan O'Brien also says that he he doesn't even drink coffee
because it doesn't do anything for him like it doesn't make him more alert it just doesn't
doesn't affect him and um I just I think that's kind of I don't know i just crave the taste i get addicted to like just you know right now i just
like i only eat like i i only ever crave like the same thing over and over i get on these kicks
where i just want the thing i want and i'm fine about it because i'm not like i'm not uh malnourishing
myself necessarily but there's got to be some food deficiencies going on. I just got walloped by my period.
Like it's a hurricane coming through,
which makes me feel good because it makes me feel like,
okay, my body's working, whatever.
But Jesus Christ.
My period app is like still?
Really?
Because it usually comes in for two days
and then it goes away.
This one just will not leave.
And I was at a concert
the other night and I thought it was done and I was jumping up and down to the song I went to go
see Ludo my friend Tim's band and um there's a song called scare me that I'm obsessed with
it's so fun it's a Halloweeny song so but it's still one that you can listen to anytime I really
recommend everyone checking it out it's just one of you can listen to anytime. I really recommend everyone checking it out.
It's just one of my favorite songs.
It came out in 2020.
I'm obsessed with it.
I sing it all the time when I'm running.
It's just my go-to pump-me-up song.
I got to see it live, and I was just so excited for this song
because I knew the set list of the show, so I knew when it was coming.
I was just like, listening to a song I really love performed live, there live there's no greater feeling and that song that I know all the lyrics to that's
why I don't understand people that go to live music and they just are like I've never heard
of the band but I just like going to concerts it's like don't you love to know the song inside
and out like I don't enjoy it otherwise I mean I can enjoy it but it goes from a level three enjoyment to like 20 based on if I know the song
or not. Um, and, and, and one of the, and so when I was jumping around to that song,
my period like started again. I, I've just was like, well, it's, I'm going to be leaking through
these pants, these trousers. And, uh, and yeah, it started like like it just like all flew out of me sorry for the
grossness but it was like do you ever think your period's gone and then it comes back
like so there's like an aftershock and it's just like oh my god it's so nice though to have a
period to have something to blame your erratic emotions on like it's it's just nice to go oh it's because i'm on my period or like
if you're feeling a little bloated you get to be like oh it's gonna go away and it's just like no
this is just who you are bitch but it's just that's fine blame it on the period um yeah i just
um do you ever just want to be alone like you just want to like i have kirsten staying with me and i have
you know i'm just constantly surrounded by people even when it's not even when i'm not necessarily
working you know like yeah uh there's cameras following me around even when those cameras are
not actually recording there's still people around and you got to kind of talk to them and like that's why I don't like getting my hair done because I that's a that's a that's a chunk of
time that I just don't want to talk like I really just want to be in my phone the only time I get
to just truly be in my phone and disappear into it and feel really like like not guilty about being
in my phone is when I'm about to go to bed and when I'm getting my hair done or there's something where I can't move you know and can't be doing work and I just don't
want to talk and you know having a friend in town who's like my best friend and who I love to spend
time with and she's married and lives on the other side of Missouri so I rarely get to see her like
but I you know she's been here since Thursday and she's leaving Tuesday and
it's like I just yesterday when I'm on the day our day off I just was like can I just be a like
I just want to go to bed and be alone like I needed a nap yesterday even though it was a beautiful day
outside god I would have loved it to be raining yesterday because it was raining in
my soul and I just needed to be alone and that's what I fear I guess of being in a relationship is
like feeling or even having kids it's like yesterday with how I was feeling like mommy
needed to go in her room and cry and be alone for three hours to just like a mini suicide you know like that's what
Nick Griffin comedian calls naps and like I just needed in the middle of the day even though I
slept till 11 45 I need to go back to bed and sleep out this depression like I needed to leave
my system almost like a migraines when I get migraines like they will not go away unless i nap and like restart
you know like i have to shut down my computer and restart it because i keep trying to get it
to work and it's just it's exactly like a computer when your computer like the mouse is kind of going
like like you're trying to move it but it's like lagging and you're like maybe if i just keep
trying things it's like no press like you need to hold down the power button and force restart
and that's what i feel like naps are noah do you ever feel that way and like what do you do when
you have a partner who's like let's go for a hike or let's go walk it's a beautiful day outside
you live in arizona the air is so crisp there's a sunset there's a bird like what do you do okay so guilty we understand that um sometimes
each one of us needs autonomy and um so you know even though we are together we do have our
separate lives i do understand the whole nap thing because when i was depressed i used to just
want to like close my eyes and just like fantasize and be in a dream where everything works out.
And it was better to just be asleep than to be in real life.
Yes.
So it's definitely linked to depression.
Yes.
I know you have a lot of stuff going on probably related to that.
But there's nothing wrong with taking some time to yourself
yeah but i think it would be better spent if you were awake with yourself
i know that was the hard part was like i was so depressed yesterday and like crying and
just not being able to like no one could talk me out of it like there was no getting out of there was no yeah I just
in it I become a broken record like there's just no hope everything's negative anyone who just
completely disproves what I'm saying I come back at them with like no but you're wrong it's just
like not pleasant to be around I couldn't and I knew that maybe a walk outside would have been
good but man I took a two-hour nap and it just I
woke up feeling a thousand times better like I just needed to purge it out of my soul with that
nap and I know that sometimes napping can be bad but I just let myself have it because I I fought
against it and I was like try to wrap your head around going for a walk with your friend try to
wrap your head around going out to lunch and I just didn't want it just like I didn't just like
I want coffee when I know that I probably shouldn't have another cup I was just like this is really
what you want right now like you're considering the other options you're not just knee jerk going
to bed you're actually thinking about it and this is what you want and don't feel guilty just
indulge and I think by doing that I was able to get the most out of it and not stay in bed all
day and wake up and just completely different person like come like the you know if you're
someone out there who suffers with depression and like the way that your mind can work when you're
in that fog it's it's you don't even relate to it when you're feeling good like i truly hours later could not
relate to the person that was saying the things i was saying before uh it was just it's alarming
but it was really like the kind of i just have to talk to my psychiatrist and my doctor and just say
listen around my period things get way worse and i need to bump up something around that time because it's just,
it was rough waters yesterday and there was nothing anyone could do to get me
out of it.
Any loved one.
It was just,
thank God though.
Thank God I had the space and the time to sleep because,
and you know,
I had work to do that we kind of put aside and thank you Noah for
being like we can just do it another time like in the middle of recording you know some podcast
stuff I was just like I can't do this like it just I was and thank god it wasn't stuff that
urgently needed to be done I fear I fear having that happen to me when I do urgently need stuff
to be done but I think it only lets
itself out when it knows it can I have space for it because some some reason it always comes out
in a time where it's like things can be canceled and moved like I just needed a break and that's
okay and yeah Kirsten walked in my bedroom after I slept and she was like, oh my God, it smells
like something fucking died.
And we were like, is there, did Luigi poop or like, did something die?
And it was like, I didn't.
She was like, were you farting?
I was like, no, like what happened?
And I think it was like my depression, like the ghost of my, I'm not even kidding you.
It like smelled like death.
And it was just like me
sleeping and depressed and it was just like the work but it was just the way my soul felt and it
was just lingering in this room so we like aired it out and we like went on a walk and then it was
gone and i was just like bye ghost bye depression ghost it was seriously like this dark cloud in my
soul was just like it it it got out my system. And even being in that room,
I was like, I got to get it. Don't even come back in me. I feel like possessed.
So it's a nice way to look at depression as like a possession and it's not your fault.
And it was just like I had the flu for my mind. So feeling much better today. Thank God. Oh,
thank God. It will happen again. I'll be ready for it. I'll know that it's not my fault. And yeah, I'll hopefully get through it.
Thank you to all my friends who were so kind and gentle with me when I was being a real
bitch-a-roo.
But let's get one of those friends in here.

That's copying, well, I think he's copying Larry's Handershow. Oh, really? I say hey now Or is that copying Howard Stern That's copying Well I think he's copying
Larry Sanders show
Oh really
Yeah
Yeah hey now
Oh yeah
What was that guy's name
The other
Jeffrey Tambor
Yes Jeffrey Tambor
Who
Yeah was
Mean to me once
Really what happened
I was on
Opie's show
Opie and Jim
When they were on Serious No it was opie and jim and opie when they
were like doing the show together without anthony and jet jeffrey tamber was on and he was you know
promoting transparent and i was just talking about i forget what did he say it was so rude
i was like backing up because you know they were making
jokes about like you know you're wearing a dress you wear lipstick and he was very much like he
understands trans rights as that playing that Kara care character Moira on the show and I think I was
just backing him up and he was like what are you even saying what are you here for what are you even talking about what do
you what you're you don't even what he just he made he goes i don't even know what you're saying
or what you're talking and i was just like i'm backing you up and actually i had a pretty
interesting thing to say i know when i'm being not interesting yeah yeah like i know when i'm
being a rambly idiot i know what i just did on this podcast for the last 15 minutes,
but I,
I definitely,
but wait,
I don't know if that was Jeffrey timber from Larry Sanders show.
The older guy with the,
he talked like this.
He had a little,
that's ripped horn.
Yeah.
Ripped horn.
But he wasn't the one that said,
Hey now.
Oh,
okay.
But that's what I was thinking.
Character said,
Hey now.
Yeah.
Uh,
what a great name.
Ripped horn. I mean, how do you get born? Oh, I mean, that's what I was thinking of. Jeffrey Tamper's character said, hey, now. Yeah. What a great name, Rip Torn.
Oh, such a good name.
I mean, how do you get born?
I mean, that's a nickname, right?
It's got to be, right?
I don't know.
Or maybe you just had clever parents.
Was that the new hat?
What would you name your kids?
Yeah, it was a new hat.
Oh, where'd you get that?
TaylorMade sent me it.
Nice.
Sent it to you?
Yeah, sent me seven hats.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Those are the hats Kirsten was trying on the other day?
They sent me and then I traded in
my golf clubs for being
the drivers.
I still have tailor-made irons. Don't worry, folks.
I don't understand what...
The difference?
So the golf club changes everything?
No, it's the golfer.
You traded them in?
You can just trade in golf clubs you trade in
and usually you have to pay a little bit more like like a difference it's like trading in a car like
so let's say a club's 400 bucks you trade it in and then you probably have to pay 100
what do you just take it to the shop and they assess it yeah and they say this they go this
is what the club is they type it in they go this is what you bought it for a week ago and now it's already dropped about 80 percent where you bought it and so then you're
traded whatever they they have a nice thing going when do you just go i'm done and these i think i'm
done not i have heard that so many times not i okay here's the thing i started with all i started
with all taylor made sims 2 traded into sims 2 got
790 irons because i'm it's a little bit better of a player iron they call it my driver i traded in
but it was too light because i i was dealing with uh slicing the ball now i'm dealing with
hitting it to the left okay so then i got a heavier and then i traded in the uh my my wedges
for titleless wedges because they're the best wedges the sm8s and then i traded in my wedges for Titleist wedges
because they're the best wedges, the SM8s.
And then I traded in my Sim 2 driver, 3-wood hybrid for all ping
because I hit the ping driver so well.
And then I went with a putter.
I got the Spyder X putter.
And then I traded that in.
Oh, no, the Spyder S putter.
I mean, I can't tell you enough how this is not going anywhere for us.
Are you getting to somewhere where it's going to really click?
Yeah, it's all going to come together.
And people that don't enjoy golf are just going to go,
okay, that was worth the wait.
Okay, I'm waiting.
And then I got the Scotty Cameron putter at the casino.
And I was like, oh, wait, that's the putter I'm going with.
So I'm done with the Spider-S.
So I traded in the Spider-S when I got the new wedges.
Yeah.
Where is this going?
I'm telling you.
Okay.
So then I was like, all right, I like this ping putter.
I feel like this is one of those squid game challenges.
Oh, my God.
I wish I understood that reference.
I don't understand it either.
I traded in the ping putter for a Spider-X. So now I have that reference. I don't understand it either. I traded in the Ping Butter for a Spider X.
So now I have Ping Driver, Ping 3-Wing, Ping Hybrid.
No, you just wasted everyone's time.
$7.90 tailor-made Titleist wedges and a Spider X Butter,
and I am happy now.
No.
That was not good.
Andrew, that was for like golf people would like that.
Save that for the golf podcast.
Why don't you start a golf podcast where all you do is talk about golf?
First of all.
You talked like you were going to get it to something interesting.
It was going.
It was building.
To what?
You ruined the build.
It was building hard.
But what did it end with that I ruined the payoff?
Just what your
complete set was yeah i hated that but i'll tell you what there are people out there that go i
i know but most of our listeners do not know i get a lot of messages from our listeners that play
golf i great but the vast majority we're supposed you know, we can talk in specifics, but not for that long.
It was a 15-second rant.
You made it 25 seconds.
That's a good point.
I did make it longer because I just was like.
I think anyone can understand, though,
changing everything about yourself except for yourself,
and that's what you do with golf clubs.
Instead of just changing, understanding that it's your swing because your dad had that three and a half wood that was from like 1848 yeah and a
club called the controller which is a two iron sounds like what my what we call my dad yeah
and i was able to hit those uh-huh so my swing's It's not the club. It's not the shirt. It's not the jeans.
It's not the shoes.
It's you.
Make you good.
That's the point.
Make you good.
That was Melania's first name for the Be Best Challenge.
Make you good.
That's pretty good.
Yeah, it is.
It always comes down to you.
And people do in recovery programs when people move towns and they're like, I'm going to start anew. Yeah, it is. It always comes down to you. And like people do in recovery programs when people like move towns and they're like, I'm
going to start anew.
Yeah, exactly.
They call it a geographic of being like, oh, this will change me.
I'm going to move to a new city and reinvent myself.
And it's like, you just brought you to another city.
You're still you.
Nothing about you is different now.
Or you lie to yourself for like a month and you're like, I'm in Paris.
I'm going to read now and, you know, better myself. different now that if or you lie to yourself for like a month and you're like i'm in paris i'm
gonna read now and and and you know yeah better myself and it's like you don't have a job and
you're on the street somewhere to like be like i'm gonna write a book because i'm gonna be inspired
by what's around me it's like if you if you can't write a like a page in st louis you're not gonna
write a book in paris it's like everyone goes i
need more time i don't have enough time and it's like then you quit your job and you have nothing
but time and you don't do it and you're like oh maybe that wasn't it like time is not my problem
like i get so much more done when i have less time and i think we all know that like when you have a
bunch of shit to do you can get you just go bam bam, bam, bam, bam. And it gets it all done.
But I just, yeah, what's the thing right now that you're trying to overcome and be, what was it called?
Be better you?
Better you.
Wait, get better you.
Oh, be, what did I say?
Be the.
Something good.
Be.
Something good.
Do you good.
Yeah, do you good.
Be good. Be your yeah do you good be good be yours do yourself good
and i thought of a really good uh word play on words yesterday that was like
uh oh you know oh saying like i was saying if because i was just so depressed yesterday that
i all i could think of was like like i i need to kill myself like that word just goes in my head
over and over kill my i didn't want to kill myself i want to kill myself and it becomes like a mantra
it's it's insane but then i started so i was saying it in my head over and over like a mantra
and i was like i couldn't stop doing it it just made me feel so much better. It's the funniest mantra ever to have, by the way. I know, and my mantra recently has been,
I create joyful experiences in my loving world.
That's been my mantra recently.
And then yesterday, I was just like,
all I wanted to do was just say,
I want to kill myself.
I want to kill myself over and over
when I was trying to sleep.
It's insane, insane, right?
But then I was like,
how can I make this phrase not,
even though that's exactly what i
want to say in my head and nothing nothing is going to change that and i just want to say those
i want to kill myself those five words how can i change the meaning of them so i can still say
them and it doesn't mean that did you turn it into a haiku no i changed it into, I want to kill myself. Like, oh, you killed up there.
I want to kill myself.
Like, also.
Oh, I want to kill as well.
Yeah, like, as well.
Like, I'd like that myself.
You know, like, you say myself as, like, too.
So I was like, I want to kill myself.
But, you know, you don't always get to kill.
And then I changed it so that I was able to say it, still say it,
and it just meant that I want to do well on stage.
Does that make sense?
No,
it does.
I mean,
it's absolutely insane,
but it does make sense.
There's something in my brain that was like,
you can't say anything else right now.
And there's not,
I also like,
look at it.
Like someone just killed themselves and you saw them kill themselves.
And you're like,
Hey,
I want to do that.
Like,
Hey,
no,
that would be,
I want to kill myself myself. Yes. I would, I want would i want to yeah but or if i saw someone murder someone i would go
i want to kill i want to kill myself yeah like you just killed someone i want to kill myself yeah
yeah no it makes it i guess yeah you can turn any like really dark meaning it's still the homonym
of it it still sounds the same but the
meaning is different yeah it's like when i do you know i i do the one bit about dad cheating and
stuff and you're like no but keep it you don't have to take it to a real tone like keep it silly
even if you're saying a dark thing like you could say it's not the same mind changes the meaning of
it but yes i know what you mean like make it make a sad thing yeah take a sad
song and make it not about killing yourself remember yeah i mean that's that's a tough way to
uh spend a day i'm not listen this is a specific it's like um it's like canker sores people who
don't get canker sores don't know what they feel like but they are very specific kind of pain and that's why when i was going
through that i was like if you're out there and you know what a canker sore feels like imagine
your whole tongue is that because it's not the same as having a cut on your lip or biting your
lip and like having it kind of hurt it's a specific like sour tasting like striking pain
and the kind of depression i have is a very specific type of
depression that isn't just like i'm sad it's like you your brain wants to you you want to go to bed
so you can when you were talking no about like sometimes you just want to go and lay and fantasize
about a better life i don't i want to fantasize about killing myself and that will make me feel
better that's the only thing i want to do that will soothe me and like it's and i i talked about
on joe rogan and the only reason i know is i'm not alone with this there are other people i know
other people out there who have this kind of depression it's like it's like it's like the
canker sore of depression it's like a very specific kind of pain that it just, and that's not something I choose to think about.
It's just what my brain wants to do so that it feels good.
It's like when you have an itch on your arm
and you just want to, like, it's saying, like, scratch it.
And you're like, am I choosing to want to scratch this?
It's like, no, I just, the saying I want to kill myself
is this for your arm.
And it leaves, like, a bloody mark.
But you're like, I just had to do myself is this for your arm. And it leaves like a bloody mark, but you're like,
I just had to do it.
Cause it felt good.
I mean,
this gets dark,
but is it like that stopped you from doing it?
Yeah.
It feels better.
And it feels,
but the thing is,
I know that it's not good because I know positive mantras work.
So why wouldn't a negative mantra work too,
to like put me in a worse state of mind so that's
why i was like okay you've got to change the meaning of this thing that you're gonna that
your brain is one gonna want to say but bring different meaning to it so it's not so that the
real truth that your body absorbs is not that meaning but you can still say those five words
but not have them mean that instead it just means oh i want to do well on stage two yeah it's
so fucked yeah but it's the same as scratching i think my analogy is perfect because when you have
like a bug bite you're just like oh and then you cause it to like bleed and like you cause a scar
from scratching it and it made it feel better at first but then it made it bleed so when i bite my
nails and i eventually start bleeding yes or i
pick up my cuticles and they eventually start bleeding oh and then they were so in pain and
then i had to put new spore on them to make them like numb do yours hurt when you pick when you
rip them yeah of course like when i like especially like when it's like the one like right by the side
satisfying to get like little pieces of nail like the The hard part is when you rip it and it feels great
because you get that where it's kind of dead.
And then you know if you keep going,
it's going to bleed and hurt.
But you've got to get it.
Help it, dude.
I get it.
I relate.
Let's get Kirsten in here.
Kirsten!
She's a healthy person
that doesn't harm herself
I don't think.
She's such a positive
person.
Oh yeah, she's great.
She's a trainer for our apartment.
Yeah.
Get in here.
Oh my god.
What is that?
Keep that on.
Keep it on, bitch.
She looks exactly like
the opposite of what we were just talking about. She looks exactly like you would bitch she looks exactly like the opposite
of what we were
just talking about
she looks exactly
like you would think
she looks
come on
just come in
no keep it on
you had all the time
to pee
don't do this
every time we leave
to go anywhere
you go
wait I gotta go pee
and like put on
some cream
and I'm just like
no what I was gonna say
is that I was digging
for some shoes
to put shoes on
for this
cause I always come in barefoot oh no you're fine and i found this band
yeah and i did a few yeah she found a um a rubber band you did a few activations on your bed yeah
on my bed okay wake up my body and soul for you guys oh you smell so good really yeah what's going
on wait what is that what What did you put on?
I washed out my armpit.
Yeah, it's your armpit.
That sea salt soap.
Oh, it's good.
It's um.
Did you put that in my bathroom?
I did.
God, like the best smelling thing in my bathroom is something you brought.
What is that?
Well, it's a, that company used to work for the.
Oh, Zoom?
Zoom soap.
Yeah, Zoom.
So, um, sorry, I was doing some things.
Yeah, so I do love, I love that soap.
And I noticed that the bar of soap in your bathroom just,
like there's no smell that comes out.
It's just so neutral.
And I kind of like a little scent.
And the goat's milk is really like moisturizing.
Yeah, my body wash that I love just ran out.
That Necessaire stuff.
Use that bar then. that necessary use that bar then
yeah use that bar to like shave and i use it from i i use it as soap it's not bad to have
no smelling soap no i know i know you just said that to me like you were judging you were a little
bit nervous to judge me no no i just the bar looks i don't what does it look like you told
me the other day do anything to make this more comfy to stay with you.
Yes.
Like do anything that helps you feel more comfortable.
So I just was like, I'll bring a bar of soap.
I'll bring a jar of almond butter.
You just said my soap does not smell, but you also said it looks.
What were you about to say?
Okay.
You know how when a bar of soap is so old that it's like cracked up and dried?
Yes.
And I lather, I would rub it, but nothing would come off of it.
So I was like rubbing my armpits
for like the first time I came up this fall
and it like didn't,
I don't feel like it cleaned me well.
So I just was like,
I'll just bring her in the bar.
Maybe I haven't been cleaning myself well.
Sometimes I just dry up and get old
because I think you use body wash.
So I was like, I'll bring some soap.
I use like shampoo to like sometimes wash my.
It's no offense.
The three in one or one in three or whatever. I bring it, it's my favorite. A one in three-in-one or a one-in-three or whatever.
I bring it. It's my favorite smell.
A one-in-three.
You got a cracked soap in there probably, right?
No, I have body wash.
Yeah?
Yeah.
I think a hint of coconut.
A hint of coconut for the butthole.
I do a full face thing now.
I have like five steps.
Nice.
Yeah.
What do you do in the morning?
A face wash. Toner. face thing now. I have like five steps. Nice. What do you do in the morning? Face wash,
toner,
serum, eye cream,
lotion.
But I only have to do it right here
because I have the beard.
Under the beard, there's maggots.
But up here.
In here, it's nice.
Just this two inches.
Is the lotion for your face yeah i have bad uh dermatitis yeah dermatitis i like how guys call face cream lotion it's like
lotions for your elbows yes but face cream you know what i mean yeah it's moisturizing on uh
cortisone forever which you know cortisone it's like for like uh
for redness around my nose yeah yeah and i went to the dermatologist recently and she's like yeah
that's um if you want your nose to be purple when you're 50 you can keep using that and i was like
why would your nose be purple from from the zone because it's like cortisone is like a steroid like
it's too much for what you're doing. Like you don't need that.
Like it's not the perfect drug for that.
Right.
And so I've been doing this for like,
like my nose is going to look like a fucking.
Old purple nose Colin they call him.
Why do you have no pores on your nose?
Why are there like zero pores?
I have makeup on.
No, but like you literally have.
I was looking at you yesterday.
It was like no pores.
No. Is it because you get extractions when you get well i think so whenever i go to my esthetician amber she always as we're
doing microneedle treatments she's like your poor like she gets so excited she's like dude oh my god
your pores are like non-existent girl and i don't know if she's just saying that i don't know the
change but thank you
what is i guess it's good is it from her micro needling the micro needle is supposed to like
like even your tone help your collagen also like help pores because my pores were huge she said
she was like i had to tone it down when i first saw you because like your pores are huge and she
was like she's like you work out all day and you sweat it's like I was like I don't work out
with my clients
I'm not sweating all day
but she
yeah I'm wondering
what gets
your pores small
what's she doing
it's the micro needle
it's like
it's literally
this roller of needles
she goes
I think you'd like it
because it's kind of painful
yeah I like pain
and so she rolls it
all over your face
and adds like a
how much is your facial
I don't think my husband listens to this it's honestly like So she rolls it all over your face and adds like a stem cell serum. How much is your facial?
I don't think my husband listens to this.
It's honestly like each treatment is like $2.30.
But I usually get an eyebrow tint.
And like sometimes I get a lash tint because I'm a blonde.
And you go once a month?
Every five weeks.
I was going once a month, but I was like, I need to go five weeks.
So I feel like that's less.
I feel like I'm stretching it out more.
Ten times a year.
Yeah.
But like during quarantine, when I stopped doing it, I just started at January 2020 when I turned 36.
So when I stopped during quarantine, I noticed a difference in how I just like looked.
I mean, it's fine to look how you are are but I noticed a difference in my skin
Noah do you go to get
facials
yeah actually a bestie
helped me find my esthetician here in Tucson
bestie with an estie
will a bestie write me and find me
an esthetician in St. Louis
who won't talk to me
a mime
do you talk to yours the whole time?
We talk a lot,
but I also look,
I look for,
I actually like talking.
It's a part,
it's part of my life where it's like,
I'm the patient versus like me being the trainer and the client.
Like I get to,
I lay down and I unload.
I'm like,
Oh my gosh,
this week's been crazy.
But days when I don't feel like talking,
I just lay down and I go.
I actually do have a really good esthetician here
that I need to call up.
And she doesn't talk to me.
And I should go see her again.
But it's kind of nice to talk.
Yeah, it's just hard to find time on my schedule
to go see this person.
You were getting facials a good amount though
and you didn't like it, right?
Yeah, because I was always trying to go
to someone new in New York.
And they were always like,
what is wrong with you?
Who have you been going to?
And then they would shit talk the person before you.
Yeah.
And that's why when Kirsten had one little facial thing here in St. Louis,
when she went to her girl, she was like,
they really fucked up this part.
I'm like, they always have to blame the person before.
They always have to go,
what did you do?
Oh, God.
No, my eyebrow got Bert and Ernie.
Don't your hairstylist do that too, probably?
Yes, every single day.
Who layered this, probably?
So who did your hair last time?
Yeah, they really made some weird choices.
And you're just like, I know, throw them under the bus.
But Nikki, I think you'd like going to an esthetician who gives you,
the reason I like mine, I'm not trying to plug Amber,
but she gives me results.
Like I go in, I'm not going to like get relaxed like the emoji on the spa emoji.
I want it to be a nice experience and pleasant, not like a waterboarding, but I want results.
I want to instantly look and go, this looks better for what I paid for.
I don't want to just go to have it be something on my schedule.
Yeah.
No, I want to look forward to it too.
I love going to get a facial because it can be very relaxing.
And I'm friends with the girl that does mine.
She just had a baby though. And it's just like I know that I'll have to look at pictures of babies and stuff.
And I actually would be excited to see her baby.
She's a cute girl.
And I'm always interested in – the thing is I She's a cute girl, and I'm always interested in her.
The thing is, I always complain about, oh, a hairstylist,
they talk to me about their lives and blah, blah, blah.
I always enjoy the conversation I have when I end up being there.
That doesn't mean that I still want to do it, though.
You know what I'm saying?
You could dread something, and then even if you know that,
it actually won't be as bad as you're dreading.
Because I could fill my life with hanging out with my best friends.
And you could never say in one of those circumstances that I'm with someone that I don't like.
It's just that even being with you yesterday, Kirsten, I felt guilty being like, I need to be alone.
Even though all I do, if I want to be around anyone, it's you.
But that doesn't mean that I want it all the time
like it's okay to not want it even if you like that person but sometimes when I go get my hair
done I just I say that I want to just use this time to be on my phone and listen to music and
like meditate and then she starts talking about her stepdaughter and the party that her stepdaughter
went to where a girl was date raped or whatever it is, and I'm like, then I'm like,
wait, I need to hear about this,
and I get so,
and then we have an amazing conversation
about what it's like to be a young woman,
and then I'm fired up,
and I feel inspired,
and I've just heard this story
from a person whose life is so different than mine,
and I feel.
Sounds horrible.
No, it feels, it's great.
Just kidding.
But I just talk the whole time,
and it's like i can't
do that i have to take myself out of those situations so you know but then you you risk
looking like such an asshole but some treatments are so pain like the micro needle is painful i'm
literally laying there i'm like i'm like tell me about okay so like let's talk to this versus i'm
not like zoning out like same with the workout like sometimes my clients come in and
they're like I'm just I'm just getting by today I'm like okay it's like we're not gonna like
I'm not talking I'm yeah it's easier for me to just coach you honestly versus like
oh like react and then how many have I done it's like well what do you want the advice about your
ex-husband or you want me to like focus on your? How can we meet that halfway? Well, maybe talk about
the ex-husband will make her work out harder.
You know what I mean? Like sometimes
revenge body. Yeah, revenge body.
That damn revenge body.
Let's get to the news.
Apparently.
We just made Kirsten watch, apparently.
By the way, I got a shit ton of messages
about that. Yeah, to our Instagram.
We got a whole bunch of the girl who dressed like the Apparently Kid.
That's such a good costume idea.
I don't know why I said costume.
I don't know either, but I was excited about it.
Costume.
Costume.
Custodian.
You said it like custodian.
Costume.
All right, let's play the stinger.
You heard it here first.
You heard it here first.
You heard it here first.
Yeah, apparently Andrew has the news
for us, and apparently...
That's good. Thank you. Apparently,
I went on the ride
and it went
round and round, and apparently
my dad watches the evening
news. My grandpa. Oh yeah, my grandpa.
Which makes it even better for me.
And it freaks me out!
Ah! Dude, that was good. Oh, yeah, my grandpa. Which makes it even better for me. And it freaks me out.
Dude, that was good.
Thanks, man.
It's Monday.
You know what that means, folks.
It's Monday.
I hope you're having all the swells out there.
And if you're not, well. Just kidding.
Hope you're having all the swells.
What'd you say, Kristen?
These are the leggings I'm going to give you.
Oh, I love them.
Why aren't you going to keep them?
Well, now that I have them on, I think I might keep them.
No!
Okay, good.
Sorry.
All right, I guess that's the first story.
Yeah.
All right, Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson hold hands on a roller coaster.
They're just friends, sources say.
Is there more?
Is there more? Is there more?
Of course there's more.
Yes, this is...
They kissed on Saturday Night Live, apparently.
Apparently, they locked lips on Saturday Night Live in a sketch.
And they looked really cute and nervous when they did it.
That is based on a Reddit comment I saw on the Dunois subreddit.
Yeah, I am not surprised at this.
I think friends can hold hands, though.
They are not friends.
Why does he need a friend?
I'm out of touch.
Kim Kardashian.
He needs a friend.
He needs a hot, gorgeous friend.
I don't know.
Who is like, I just want to be friends with Kim Kardashian?
Like, I wouldn't even want to just be friends with her.
Like, I would want more.
Do that.
No, this is obviously it's very difficult to get inside her circle i bet it's probably almost
impossible so if you get in there the probability of you hooking up with her it's probably pretty
good because it's hard to just get through the wall and he gets hot girls he has like a
great track record i mean it's even more ridiculous than what you even say.
Yeah.
It's amazing what he does.
That's what I'm so sure of.
I can't believe he's someone that I...
It's amazing.
I mean, listen to this list.
I mean, we know the list, but it's just...
Kate Beckinsale, Ariana Grande,
Kaya Gerber, Martha Qualley.
Yes.
Margaret Qualley.
Margaret Qualley. Margaret Qualley.
Phoebe Denevore. I don't know
who that... Oh, yeah, from Bridgerton.
Kaylee Cuoco.
Ariana Grande. Kazzy
David. He started with Kazzy David.
Everyone's like, whoa, he's dating
Larry David's daughter. Who knew that was just
a start? Yeah. I mean,
yeah, I think he's definitely gonna
be fucking Kim Kardashian. I don't think she bangs right away, but he's definitely gonna be fucking kim kardashian i don't think
she bangs right away but he's gonna he's gonna hang in there for whatever is like what makes
you think she doesn't bang right away i don't know i just don't i don't i don't think she does
i think she like really uh coming off a divorce i feel like you want to get it in she's a mom and
she probably when you're i think when you're an older woman like that you just don't I think
she's just someone like you'd think that
Paris Hilton bangs right away but Paris
is very good about not
having sex too soon yeah the older you get
the more you just value your own heart and I think
I can see that in Kim I don't know her
very well I don't think
she just gets she like she has a lot of
self-esteem I don't think she gives it away too soon
yeah and she doesn't need anybody honestly she's gets, she like, she has a lot of self-esteem. I don't think she gives it away too soon. Yeah, and she doesn't need anybody.
Yeah.
Honestly,
she's got everything she probably needs,
so.
Yeah.
But she is breaking up with Kanye
because of pretty much his mental illness
and his narcissism and stuff,
and Pete seems to have some,
he deals with that as well.
He was actually talking about Kanye on SNL.
Did you ever see that one?
Mm-hmm.
Where he talks about how
you could be mentally ill,
but that doesn't give you any excuse to be an asshole
essentially
she really liked that
a little bit
yeah I know
I think she probably
watched that
and got a little
horned up
yeah that would be
something that would get you
just because you
break up with someone
like he put exactly
in the words
what she wanted to say
about her husband
yes
he knows how to work it
that's cool
and I bet you anything
Kanye was so pissed
about that
and she listened to so much
of him bitching about Pete Davidson.
And so it's just the perfect person to date
to kind of stick it to him.
Yeah.
Now we get it.
I think that, yeah, I get what's going on here.
And Pete, knowing Pete as much as I know him,
he's sweet.
Yeah.
He's kind.
He's funny. And he's just a nice and he doesn't
i don't think people think that he thinks he's cool i never have gotten that sense from him
and hanging out with him he was really nice to me i didn't know him yeah and he came off like
insanely like complimentary and nice and like reserved yeah that goes a long way we were talking about
this the other day with noah i think like how you you think women are drawn to like
supermodel muscle man it's like end of the day personality kindness being cute and having like
a good smile goes miles and that's probably your girl and Funny He's funny. Yeah, and funny
and just
being secure.
Well, you were saying how like
an F-boy,
a fuck-boy, whatever,
isn't necessarily
a guy that fucks
a ton of girls.
It's a guy that's
an asshole
about fucking
a ton of girls.
Yeah, a liar.
So he
is kind of
he's so honest
Yes.
that it gets him
a lot of girls.
Yes.
But is he an asshole for going through so many girls?
You know what I mean?
Like, that's like the rub of like, you could be a nice guy and still fucking leave a lot
of women.
He hasn't left them.
What if they just mutually were like, I'm not that into it anymore.
Like, I don't think he's left a wake of broken-hearted women.
What if they're F girls?
Huh?
What if they're F girls?
There are.
You're right, though.
I do think that he's very honest.
I just see so many comedians
that aren't.
I think he's very much like,
yeah, this is what I struggle with
and this is what I've been through.
Yeah, I just,
I'm bipolar
and that guy's an ass.
Hearing him on Howard and stuff, he he's not he is not trying yeah he has a lot of tattoos and he has a look and he
wears cool clothes everyone's trying to be a little bit cool but i don't think he's actually
getting his tats removed really all of them yeah all of them i mean that's what he's tabula rasa
he said it actually hurts more than getting the tattoo. But he likes the process.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean,
it must be a cool process to get.
It's almost as,
as cool as getting it.
Yeah.
I mean.
I don't think it's,
I think that's like,
it's like taking off
all the bumper stickers
off your 1998 Toyota Camry.
Not you,
but like.
That's not cool?
It's like getting,
it's like having a old car
that has like bumper stickers.
Like I'm doing the
bumper sticker thing
and then having to
scrape them all off
oh and the tape
still stays on there
it is hell
sell it as is
I do love old tattoos
and just being like
this was a lot of mistakes
but if you have the money
and you actually enjoy
the pain
which is a lot of why
people get tattoos
in the first place
is they like that pain
watch him get them
back on after he gets
them all off
because he's like
I have to keep the pain process out.
Well, apparently,
he's an actor now
and he wants to be a serious actor,
I assume,
as he gets older.
He doesn't want to wear body makeup.
To cover up the tattoos takes like,
he has to get there like five hours
ahead of time.
Yeah.
Oh, I see where that's going
you can just get a micro needle facial and then get the pain and that's true no but then i'll
start the tattoo oh yeah yeah there's the issue okay i i'm i approve of this uh you know i think
it'd be great i i think though it's it's you know her they're not trying to keep it secret the fact
that they're trying to be friends is just to protect Kanye.
And she's maybe kind of scared of what he will say and do.
And, but they are definitely more than friends.
Wouldn't you love it?
And they'll be dating soon.
They'll be like full blown couple.
What if she became Kim Davidson?
Like how basic is that?
Kim Davidson.
You know who that is, right?
She ain't getting rid of Kardashian.
I know.
He'll become Pete Kardashian.
I think it's the first white guy.
Wait, no, Kourtney's dating Travis.
Kourtney's dated Scott and Travis.
But I think it's like the first white guy that, you know, either her, Chloe or Kylie
or Kendall has like been with.
You know?
Well, that one dude, he was half white.
Chris, her husband.
Humphries?
Yeah, I think. Yeah. i don't know i don't know
no i mean it's just a remark no judgment there but i didn't even realize that that
oh like that's how much i don't see color i hadn't even realized it but someone said that
on the subreddit that's why i was like oh is he interesting he? Interesting. I mean, I guess. All right. Next story. Apparently, a 14-year-old boy suffers horrific third-degree burns after attempting the Squid
Game Honeycomb Challenge.
What's the Honeycomb Challenge?
So the Honeycomb Challenge was a challenge in Squid Game where they're given a honeycomb
that's a thin thing like this.
And then there's an umbrella in it or like some kind of object.
There's a shape.
A shape inside it.
And then they have to use a little pin and get the shape perfectly cut out
without cracking the skinny honeycomb.
Okay.
So the kid burned himself by trying to make honeycomb.
But burn with what?
The honey?
So he put in like a bunch of like ingredients into a non-microwavable cup,
put it in the microwave.
When he took the cup out, it exploded and just burnt his leg.
Okay, well that's not the honeycomb challenge.
That's just an idiot not knowing how to...
Like pushing too many...
He was adding an extra zero on two minutes.
He was heating that honeycomb up.
He did 20 minutes.
I don't even understand that.
How many kids burn themselves with... I mean, that's awful.
I'm so sorry for the kid, but.
I mean, in this day and age, I bet you don't go, we can't have another squid game because
kids are burning.
One kid burned himself in New Zealand.
So is squid game a lot like Saw where there are challenges and like you die if you don't
win?
Like they die.
They could die.
I hate that. Hundreds die.
Hundreds? Hundreds.
On the show. Wait, what? Yes. Wait, tell
me why. I mean, I don't want to.
This is way more interesting than your golf club thing.
If anyone hasn't seen Squid Game, I love
hearing like, Squid Game. So I just hit my
ping driver. I got home, put on Squid Game.
Back to golf.
No, so it started with like
450 contestants. And the very first first game so they're all you know
in debt they're all they're all in body suits or something like they're in well yeah they're
only spandex well the people that are where they get those it's so funny to try to like if i tried
to describe squid game knowing what i know which is literally just memes. You should. So what do you think happens? There's 450
guys and girls.
450 people.
I just learned that from you. I wouldn't have known that.
Down and out.
In spandex, like Power Rangers
suits.
No, the bad guys are in Power Rangers suits.
But who are all the people?
The good guys are just in regular clothes.
No, they're in janitorial clothes with numbers on them.
Costumes?
Huh?
Costumes?
Costuniums.
Okay.
So then, and they all are, they have different challenges to win money.
And some of them involve like hitting, throwing a ball on the floor and trying to open an envelope
and if you don't get it you get slapped in the face and if you do get it you get money
i've just seen that one okay and then you get the money and then you go deliver it to an old woman
in a um like a like a roadside shack and then, and then that's all I know.
I only saw one scene of a woman watching out a plane.
I had a client,
he was like,
oh,
great new show.
you,
you and Corey gotta watch it.
I was like,
what's it about?
He's like,
so it's like all these people,
it's like a challenge.
It's really gory and it's really scary to watch.
I'm like,
not watching it.
No.
I'm not doing it.
Corey,
no, no Corey, no gory. Corey, no doing it. Corey, no Corey, no Gory.
Corey, no Gory.
Corey, no Gory.
Corey will watch anything.
He'll watch like heads explode and stuff.
The very first scene.
Not first scene, first game.
It's red light, green light.
And it's this like Asian doll.
It's gigantic and it's turning around
and it has eyes inside it that see.
And if you go, you know, green light and you run
and then if you don't completely stop at red light,
you're just shot and killed.
So then they didn't know they were getting killed.
Wait, they don't know?
Well, until that very moment.
And the next thing you know, literally 200 of them,
or 250 get shot and killed.
And that's how the game starts.
And everyone's like, what?
Is it in the future or is it now?
I think it's now.
And so how do they all get shot?
People just shoot.
People come out and shoot them?
Yeah, they're just shooting them from holes in the wall.
The guys in the Power Ranger suits.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
It's just so violent.
I can't.
It is, but it's violent in a way that it doesn't feel violent.
I don't know why.
Like you literally see a bullet go through someone's head and blood.
But then you're like, huh.
Yeah.
Another handful of popcorn.
What's the most gory thing that happens?
I'm just picturing you in there just like, bullet.
Oh, my God.
I ate so much popcorn in bed last night.
Did you really? Oh, my God. Thank ate so much popcorn in bed last night. Did you really?
Oh, my God.
Thank you so much to Anna who sent popcorn to us from Kirkwood Pop Company.
Birthday cake.
Anyways.
Did you eat the birthday cake?
I ate the cookies and the caramel.
You were having some this morning for breakfast.
Gotta get in there.
You know what?
You said more.
Don't.
Please don't. But do as well. I think what? You said more. Don't. Please don't.
But do as well.
I think we gotta go to
break apparently.
Okay.
We're gonna go to break
and then we're gonna

We gotta come back

While we were away, Kirsten told us a quick hack.
Yeah, if you have Invisalign trays, you can eat popcorn and apparently not get...
Apparently, it doesn't... In the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in the in up in the body it's an ayurvedic thing in the fall in the winter when it's cold out or
even just in general eating popcorn is very airy and it can be hard someone call you um in my
people are gonna hear this and they're gonna know about are you like a a unpretentious hippie
what did they say something hippie unpretentious hippie i i like that i mean i'm not trying to be
like i am so into this thing.
No, but that's the perfect description for you.
Popcorn can give me anxiety.
I'll just tell you that.
Why do I care?
For his 35th birthday, Drake buys himself a $5.5 million watch.
Let's see this stupid thing.
It is so stupid.
Look at this watch.
It's not even good looking.
That's five houses.
It looks like a mold spore.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
It looks like a mold spore on hummus.
You can see the inside of it.
It's not even finished.
It looks like one of those invisible phones
that girls had in the 80s.
It looks like a Swatch watch, like fucked a transformer.
It looks like something you'd buy in that machine that goes,
looks like an ashtray with a bunch of cigarette ashes in it.
I mean.
It's bad.
That's so sad about how many people that could feed, clothe, and shelter.
I mean, you're so right.
I mean, I know you can buy what you want if you've got the money for it,
but I mean, wouldn't you really think about how many if you've got the money for it, but I mean,
wouldn't you really think about how many people could go get like an
education?
I don't know.
I guess it just makes you think like,
and who's putting the stuff out there.
It's him saying,
I bought this.
It's like,
not really for him.
It's for us to talk about.
It's for this conversation.
Kim Kardashian's photo with her and Pete Davidson that leaked on purpose.
That wasn't like someone took a picture of the roller coaster shot of them off the screen.
But we buy into it and we say, hey, they're dating.
And then we also say, hey, Drake is the number one rapper.
Yeah, and we're talking about it right now.
Yeah.
So we're part of the problem.
They got us.
That's so expensive.
I will say that blowjobs with Invisalign also, it rounds your teeth, the bottoms of your teeth, so that it doesn't scrape them.
I love the Invisalign Reddit.
There's so many weird things.
Have they ever talked about blowjobs on there?
Oh, yeah.
People are like, this is crazy.
But yeah, there's so many funny things you can relate to people who are doing it, too.
I love that's how an orthodontist, like, oh, you're 16-year-old?
You want regular braces or
blowjob braces.
BJBs. You would not think that
leaving in your and it only I only discovered
that on you know accident.
Yeah. It's yeah when
I accidentally fell on a penis
with my mouth. Yeah I accidentally ate a penis.
You're eating a banana.
And it didn't
and it didn't apparently it didn't scrape it and you
can really like chomp down not chomp down but like give it pressure and it doesn't have that
like your teeth have like a really sharp point but invisalign rounds them out i don't think i've
ever felt teeth on a but maybe my penis isn't wide enough but i've never like been like fuck
oh no really yeah you don't really feel. I don't know.
Oh my God.
Well, that is nice to hear.
Maybe it's an old wives tale.
Honestly.
Because that's always such a concern of mine.
Yeah, I really feel like guys.
I've never had a conversation with a guy in my life.
Too much teeth.
Really?
I swear to God.
Why do we all think this as girls?
I like Nikki's joke where you have to
turn into an old turtle to do yeah you look like your dad wow because he looks like a turtle oh
don't say that i really get hurt when people say i look like my dad i meant it as he was he's a
turtle yeah i know what you mean it's i look like my dad it's fine i'm just accepting it as he's a turtle. Yeah, I know what you mean. I look like my dad. It's fine.
I'm just accepting it as I age.
You look like your mom and your dad.
Oh, thank you for throwing that in there, too.
Because you go, no, you look like your mom and your dad.
You look like your dad and a little bit of your mom.
Mostly your dad, but a little bit of your mom.
No, seriously, you look like your mom, but mostly your dad.
Mom's like 10%, dad's like 90%.
Okay, let's get to top one, bottom one.
Today's category is road trips.
Road trips.
Woo, road trips.
Top road trip, bottom road trip.
Kirsten, kick us off with your worst road trip.
Kirsten almost told me the story this morning when we were walking Luigi.
Worst road trip.
And I go, please save it for the podcast.
And she's like, I think my best one was probably, and I'm like, save it for the podcast.
Sorry, I just want to talk to you. She's normal human yeah i know that's true yeah so um worst
road trip was flying into la and driving out to palm springs we left la like two like midwestern
idiots everyone will laugh who lives there we left la departing, departing east at like three o'clock on a Friday.
We were driving 20 miles an hour for five and a half hours, which should have took two.
And I thought, I, we almost got divorced.
Really?
We got rear-ended once.
Like it, it was hell.
We were going so slowly the whole time.
We were just like, and we were stuck in traffic and by the time we got there
we were just like we're at joshua tree but we don't even want to see were you just like fighting
the whole time yeah because it was the reason we were we left because i wanted to go shopping air
quotes and i wanted to do um like the shops in venice and then go to that how do you say that
natural grocery store at your horn?
Air One.
Air One.
I was like milling about Air One,
touching every item and like selecting snacks
and Corey's like,
we have to get going.
I was like,
10 more minutes
and that's the reason.
So I was just like
shamed the whole way.
I was like,
and he was so mad
and we were just both
like so mad at each other.
And then we arrived
so late to our like
B&B in Joshua Tree.
We couldn't even find it
in the desert because it was dark.
It's dark in the desert at night.
Namaste.
And then also, it's like you're going on a trip to relax.
I know.
That's the worst.
It's like when you're trying to relax.
He was like, let's fly into Palm Springs.
And I was being cheap.
I was like, let's have lunch with our friend Beth.
Oh, because you need that $2.30 for a facial.
Jelena,
wherever Jelena is,
that fitness, whatever.
And he was like,
why do we have to go in LA?
This just makes no sense.
It really doesn't.
Next time we're,
so whenever we're having
like a bad.
What made you go to
Palm Springs in the first place?
I just like it
because it's very like
50s and retro.
How did you even know about it?
Because my sister.
Everything is always
because Britta did it first.
Oh, okay.
So Britta went for like a wine trip
for her husband's company
and all the mid-century modern houses
and the vibe and it's so quiet.
Have you been there?
Yeah.
I was there in July.
It was so hot.
It's like silent town and it's all gay men.
So wherever you go, you're just safe.
No one looks at you.
No men check you out.
I don't even think
I wore mascara.
It was beautiful.
Oh, dude.
So whenever Corey and I
are like talking about
a travel option
or like getting in traffic,
I just go,
we're flying into Palm Springs
because it's always just like
to avoid a fight,
we're just going to fly.
Yeah, there's so much fighting
that is caused by road trips.
I have a feeling that most of our road trips
stories of the worst are going to be
related to that.
I think my worst
was really good though too
but it was also my worst because
when I was in LA, I lived in LA
right out of college. We all know I was
that PA for whatever.
Anyway, so I had a mild overdose in
new orleans off cocaine oh my god with a stripper and i don't know i can't feel my legs back in 400
bc when you were a dinosaur i seriously was like this all night then i did two gravity
tyranosaurus rex arms gravity and i was on a couch Like this Going I can't feel my body
I can't
I couldn't really feel my body
My body was completely
It was paralyzed
I was paralyzed
And I go to my buddy
And I was like
I need to go to the hospital
Having so much fun in New Orleans
And he's like
Hashtag beignets
He's like stop being a pussy
And then he takes me to the hospital
He doesn't even
He doesn't even come in with me
He goes later
And he just drops me off You have with me. He goes, later.
He just dropped me off. You have worse friends.
He's like, later, bitch.
Stop being a bitch.
And I was like, I'm on a trip.
Men are so bad doing that.
I was like, I'm going in.
And then I walked in.
I go, I think I'm having a heart attack.
That's what I really did.
I think I'm having a heart attack.
And they're like, okay.
They let me skip the line.
Wait, where does this relate to a road trip?
Oh, so I have the mild overdose.
You had a
Norland's accent when you did that. You were like, I think I'm having
a heart attack. They're like, did you have too many
beignets?
You had powdered sugar on your lips.
They're like, you had too many beignets.
That's cocaine. That's cocaine, bitch.
That was too bad.
So three days later, I'm in the heart ward.
Heart ward.
Heart ward.
And they put blood thinner into my stomach.
They just shoot it into my stomach.
And they said I had a heart murmur.
I didn't have a heart attack.
That does sound like what your heart would do
instead of attacking.
It would just be like murmur.
Yeah, your heart's like murmur.
Even my heart attack is lazy.
Yeah, an attack would be like,
yeah!
Let's go, let's work,
let's get a special.
It's like you woke your heart up,
like, I'm fine,
just live in it.
Heart murmurs like,
mwawawaw.
So anyways,
I go back to Florida because it cost me it would cost me eight thousand dollars i had no
money at the time and uh i had to fly with my little brother to la to get my car because i was
i was done in la because i had no money yeah and my dad was like yeah what are you doing and so i
had to drive back from California to Florida.
And it was depressing because I failed miserably.
And you had almost had a heart attack.
Yeah, I tried many times.
Wait, you had that in Florida?
In New Orleans.
In New Orleans.
New Orleans, down there with the beignets. And then you were just visiting.
You were a cool LA boy going to New Orleans,
but then after that you were just Florida boy.
Well, I went to school at Tulane, so and my friends were got back together to like have a
reunion the year after we graduated oh my god and so then I went back to LA got my car drove back
my little brother and it's a long drive obviously like especially when you're thinking about how
much you just failed and had a mild overdose and i lied to my parents i think my dad knew it was probably like cocaine or like i don't know he
was pretty cool about like not going in on me about like having like an intervention
or just neglectful or in denial or didn't care about you we could look at it either
yeah it sounded like he was pretty cool about his son almost dying of an overdose but not saying anything that's pretty cool been a overdose
he was so chill about me dying yeah you're the coolest dad that like didn't show any concern
that you went to the hospital and had a heart attack hey he was busy dude yeah dude and you
were like 22 had a heart attack no big deal it was mild it was a murmur you had the coolest dad
so chill so anyways i uh i drove back and uh we were like we're gonna make it a golf trip
and then we went and played golf at this place called the phoenician in arizona and it was like
300 so we spent all our money on one trip around but i shot a 39 on the back whatever for
the golfers and uh then we just drove back home like it was like it was like gonna be this golf
okay yeah uh noah worst worst road trip my worst road trip was um i think i was like 14 and my mom
my brother and my little sister and i were driving down to Florida to Disney World.
And it was just 20 hours of pure hell in the car fighting.
Why wasn't it hell?
Why didn't the fight start?
I don't know.
It's so funny.
My brother and my mom are just so hard-headed.
And they were both driving they like kept you know like um
they would change uh like driving responsibilities and i just remember like we're gonna just die
there's gonna be explosive road rage happening at any moment when you got to disney was it fun fun or no no none of it none of it was fun what about you my worst one was as a kid we would go
back home to cincinnati we moved to st louis when i was six and um cincinnati was where like our
whole family was and one time my dad couldn't go back for work so my mom just drove me and my sister
and i was probably like six and a half and my sister was like four and
we drove and there was a huge storm and I got really sick I had like I remember getting a
really bad fever and we couldn't make it through the night because it was storming and my mom
later told me that a truck driver was masturbating next to her at one point during this trip and was
like hey look at this and like lifted his dick up so she could see and we're like in the car with
her humble brag I want to hear your mom's impression of saying that and when she said and was like, hey, look at this, and lifted his dick up so she could see, and we're in the car with her.
Humble brag.
I want to hear your mom's impression of saying that.
She was amazed at me.
When she later told me that,
it was just when we got to Cincinnati.
I was still six.
It was gross.
I'm just kidding.
It was when I was an adult.
She was like, it was a bad trip.
But I remember the times in my life where I was like,
I remember just being sad for my parents,
knowing we couldn't afford things, i remember just being sad for my parents knowing like we couldn't afford
things and like being just so embarrassed for them yeah and i remember and being scared because i
could sense my parents fear at times but they would try to be brave but i could just very like
i was very perceptive like i look back on times that my parents say like something happened i'm
like i knew it like there was something in my soul that knew something terrible was wrong and um we stopped i was i was having a fever and my mom you know this is before
cell phones and everything we went to this like motel that was so disgusting and i remember
thinking like i can't believe we're staying like it was one of the ones where you have to go to the
front desk that's like yeah in a parking lot and then they give you it's like a they always have
a bell on the front it was
yeah they're sleeping in the back it was like schitt's schitt's creek kind of hotel and went
to this room and i remember like just feeling delirious and just telling my mom like i woke
up in the middle of the night like feverish my mom thought i was gonna like die because i had
like a really really bad fever and i was saying weird things and i just remember telling her like
you're playing me like a barbie her like you're playing me like a Barbie
doll mom you're playing me like
a Barbie doll and I just felt
I just remember saying it I remember
feeling it and I didn't know what it meant
but it like made a lot of sense to me
and she thought I was gonna die in the middle of the
night it was just horrific and like
very scary and
was just it felt like
we were on our own.
And I know my mom was so scared and she was so young.
My mom was 31.
You were going to die.
Like if you were like a failed comedian,
like just of a fever and a shitty motel.
Yes.
You like knew your mom was young and that she was scared.
Yes.
I wonder what the Barbie,
like a Barbie doll.
Like I just felt like your mom,
you're not,
you're not, you're not like being like what didn play me like a Barbie doll Like I just felt like Your mom It's a great lyric You're not
You're not like being
Like what didn't feel
Like a mom
That's deeper
You're just playing me
Like a Barbie doll mom
Like I'm
Like it was really weird
But I remember it made
So much like poetic sense
To me at the time
Especially at six
Okay
Best road trip Kirsten
I think one of the best
Was
A group of girls from high school
Hala
Hala's dad was our principal
and like three other girls who we
weren't friends with anymore but we drove
all the way to field hockey camp
at Princeton in New Jersey
and then her dad took us to
like we all got in a van
and drove out to this
field hockey camp and then we went to new york
city for the first time i'm so when on the today show like we held up a sign oh i'm so jealous and
then on the way out there we got stuck it was epic we got stuck on the pennsylvania turnpike
for like three hours just sitting which now as an adult i would be like hell but we got out and everyone was like camping out and offering
beverages to people and going from like car to car because it was a huge accident it just shut
the whole lobby down and that was just like that was between senior and senior year yeah yeah you
guys were still playing field hockey it was so fun but yeah we went to this field hockey camp and it
was just awesome fun like I was so chill.
Because I wasn't good at sports.
FOMO.
But it was an epic.
I've never been on a highway that was shut down like that.
Oh, yeah.
That's fun, kind of.
It's scary.
And then when it started going, we were going like everyone was 10 miles an hour.
Everyone was just walking with cars.
It was like apocalyptic.
What about you, Andrew?
I feel like we always have to be like, it when we were kids it was literally just recently yeah a trip from uh durham to charleston with my brother my little brother
again uh he came to the show in durham that you know and then uh we met my dad and my brother
in charleston and then had a great show that night yeah and the drive was great i got bo jangles for
the first time ever which which was fucking amazing.
And it was just like a simple road trip.
It was only like five hours.
It wasn't like a crazy road trip.
But it was just like going to see, because I haven't seen my brothers or my dad in a long time.
And we had an amazing trip.
And I don't know.
It was just nice.
What did you guys talk about?
Me and my brother.
Basically, we went live and just talked shit
about the different cars on the road there was this one guy with a very little u-haul i'm like
oh look at your little u-haul like he only had it wasn't like the truck u-haul it was the one
the state was rhode island like it was just on the back like you know a trailer u-haul which is like
what are you it's the same way i feel about when people
check a bag when you are at the baggage claim and a little tiny like knapsack comes through and
you're like why what what are you putting in this little knapsack running away just like
there's this video on tiktok yeah like a bindle stick comes yeah there's a video on tiktok of a
guy making fun of a ladder like a four you know forerunners the cars yeah they
have these little ladders that go for that oh look at your little wadder oh yeah you have a
wadder to get up to your wolf tiny little wadder it's like so funny like you couldn't just climb
literally three ladders it's the funniest it's just such a little wadder and it's on a car that's
like a full run yeah Yeah, full run.
If you're so tough, just climb up.
Anyways, but yeah, that was a great trip.
Noah, best road trip.
Best road trip was
October of 2020.
We drove across the
Southwest from Colorado,
New Mexico, Utah,
Arizona, and ended up in Joshua Tree.
And I got engaged. i fell in love with the southwest which i had never been to before and is the reason why i moved here so that's right
i would say that was the best road trip did you fly into colorado yeah we flew into denver
rented a car and then just drove the rest of the way. Oh, that's lovely. That's awesome. My best road trip was...
That's a good way to get married, by the way.
Do a road trip with whoever you're thinking about.
And if you can make it five states, you're the one.
Yeah.
So final thought.
My best road trip was the one I took from Kansas City to Chicago
when we auditioned for Last Coming Standing,
me and a bunch of Kansas City comics in 2006.
This is the first time you were on it?
Yeah, yeah.
How old were you?
21.
What are your thoughts?
Are you nervous?
Are you like, do I have enough jokes?
Are my jokes going to –
I wasn't going to audition.
I was just like, I'm just going to go for the fun
because I knew that I wasn't good enough to make it on a TV show.
I've been doing comedy a year and a half.
Why would I audition for the show?
I like this because a lot of people would be like,
I'm ready for this show.
I'm ready.
No, I was like, no.
This would be delusional for me to think
that I would make it on the show.
How many people auditioned?
Like hundreds and hundreds.
It was in Chicago and it was all like,
people waited outside in line. and it was all like people waited
outside in line but it was so fun because sorry how many people were on the road trip like nine
we rented a van we had a guy that had a hookup at a like a rental place one of the guys had a
worked at a hotel and so he got us hotel rooms in chicago for like cheap enough and it was just one
of those things that was like me and yeah,
like it was seven or eight guys and me and we all went in this big passenger
van and drove up there.
We listened to Patton Oswalt's album,
feeling kind of Patton.
And we got like,
so we were just listening to good comedy albums,
laughing so hard.
It was so fun.
And by the time we got there,
they were like,
Nikki,
just do it.
Like you're here.
We have,
you know,
what else are you going to do tomorrow in Chicago? nikki just do it like you're here we have you know what else are you gonna do tomorrow in chicago just just do it and i only did it because i was like i just want them
to say i have promise you know like i don't want to get on the show but i just don't want to i don't
want to have one of those america like american idol like gag reel auditions where they just show
you like william hunging it yeah i just wanted them to say like
good job you know like oh you're i see
something in her yeah i just wanted to
like have confirmation that
i was on the right track and then
yeah auditioned and and uh
that's and yeah they said i was too young
and and thanks for trying and like
come back again next time
and then when i was walking off stage they were like
i really liked her and the when i was walking off stage they were like i really liked
her and the other guy was like well i mean i could be convinced and i just ran back up on stage and
was like you want to hear another joke and they were like yeah and i told another joke and they
were like we'll see you tonight it was um uh they you know they put a different joke in
on the the airing of it of what actually why i'll tell you why because the joke i
told was is your first joke no this was i auditioned i did like two minutes and then they
were like it was really good how long you been doing it and i said two years even though i'd
been one and they were like yeah you're just it's it's just you haven't been doing it long enough
but it was really good and i was like perfect you know like oh good that's exactly what i wanted and i was like shaking because i was so cold because you had to wait
outside and it was like a blizzard that week it was so snowy and so cold in chicago it was in march
and um and uh yeah and then i made it to the the evening show oh it was uh
um i dated this black guy for a while,
but I had to break up with him because he hit me.
It wasn't his fault.
I just didn't understand his complicated handshake.
And that was, yeah.
And they were like, funny.
All right, we'll see you tonight.
And I was like, yes.
And then I was like, what the fuck?
Like, what am I going to do?
And then I remember going to Starbucks after that
and I cut my hand on the door and there was this,
it's still there, that cut right there oh it's still there that's from that's
from the day i got on last time i was standing i remember being like i'll probably have a scar
from that because it was so deep and um and then i that night i was like what the fuck am i gonna do
like i don't even have any material and i remember ironing my shirt and trying to think of any jokes
because i always think of my best jokes when I'm like under the gun and I was
going to the show that night and I was like,
and then I thought of the joke of my mom,
you know,
calls me drunk and she's like,
I love you so much.
You're the greatest daughter in the world.
And then she'll always call me the next day and be like,
Nikki,
I'm so sorry for what I said last night.
I was drunk.
I didn't mean any of it.
And I thought,
I remember calling my parents and being like, is that and they were like yes and i was like okay i'm
just gonna do it because i have nothing else and then um yeah and then i was one of 30 that
performed that night and then uh i was the third person that made it through and got to go to
hollywood and got the red envelope and it was-liner? No. Oh. You did like five minutes. Oh. But did you do the same?
No.
Oh.
Different material.
And then, but I was just desperate for jokes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I just remember doing that joke.
And then, yeah, and then I went to, and then we all went out afterwards and I got so drunk
and I remember feeling so bad because there were just so many good comics that had been
doing it way longer than me that were like bonafide headliners.
I was barely, I was just, I wasn't even hosting in Kansas City.
I was 21.
It was like ridiculous.
There's something about that like new comic – it just irradiates.
No, I got it because I was a young, cute girl that had good jokes.
But I was nowhere near someone that should have been beat out these other guys.
And it was embarrassing and they all knew it.
John Roy made it through.
Jerry D made it through. John Roy, I call it it to this day he was a dick to me that night
because he just knew that i didn't deserve it and everyone knew it was like i was i was like the
i always feel for young people or people who make it through on things or get opportunities
when they don't deserve it it's like well are they supposed to turn it down and i remember
tommy john again telling me i should turn it down? And I remember Tommy John again telling me
I should turn it down.
Because I got invited to Hollywood
and I remember talking to him
because we were both young comics at the time.
And he was like, I would turn it down.
You're not.
And I remember being like, I probably should.
But it was just because he's fucking jealous.
Yeah, dude, you fucking do it.
And so I always feel for people
whenever they're like,
this guy shouldn't have gotten that thing.
And I'm like, but Comedy Central offered it to them.
Should they turn it down?
You would have done it.
They didn't trick anyone.
I didn't trick anyone.
I just asked for another joke.
So shut up.
I hate when fucking comics are just so high on their horse.
Like, no, you should turn it.
You're not ready for that.
You're not ready.
You're not ready, dude.
And I remember being in Kansas. Why are you ready? And I was shopping and ready for that. I wouldn't do that. You're not ready. You're not ready, dude. And I remember being in
Why are you ready?
in Kansas and I was shopping
and I was on the phone
with Tommy John again
and he was like,
I was in the produce department
and he was like,
I wouldn't do it.
I would turn it down.
Did he get Pat?
Did he get Santella?
Eventually,
like, you know,
two years later,
he got on the show too.
But, you know,
maybe at the time
he wouldn't have accepted it
because we were very self-aware
of like,
we're not good enough.
I knew I wasn't.
There was no part of me that was like, ha ha, I'm better i'll tell you one of the worst road trips though was that car ride back to kansas city with those nine comics who did not
make it through and i did and i was so hung over the next day from drinking so much i was so sick
we had to pull over on the highway and i was throwing up and they kept smoking inside and i
go guys if you smoke if i breathe in smoke i'm gonna throwing up and they kept smoking inside and I go guys if you smoke if I breathe in smoke
I'm gonna throw up and they kept
smoking they didn't give a fuck about me because
I got through and they did it
