Hello, here I am. It's Nikki Glaser. It's the Nikki Glaser Podcast. It is Thursday. Well, it's Wednesday where we are But to you it's Thursday FBoy Island is out on HBO Max I hope you guys find time

Over the next four days To binge the hell out of it Get into it I am so excited to watch it I really don't remember what happens I remember what the ending I'm so excited to go on the journey with you guys again and then we're gonna recap it on monday's episode in a

new segment we are calling f anal island and wait f anal i eyes land what is it i don't even know how to pronounce it or what we really decided on whatever you want it to be it's more it was your idea yeah it's it was brilliant i was so excited that for once anal uh anal eyes the eyes part was was pertinent to it so so it solved it for me now i get it that like makes sense to me look you know it you throw a lot of things at the fire and eventually it hits, you know, two things. I said the other night. That's so funny. You just said that.

Oh, you said that? No, I was. No, not that. But I was talking to someone. I was so tired. It was I was shooting this movie in the middle of the night. It was we shot. Wait, wait, wait.

Stop right there. You shot a movie. Yes, I shot a movie. i shot a movie on that i shot a movie on for i auditioned for the lead role but they were like no thanks and then they gave me um they rewrote a character that was male to female to put me in it because the two writers um are fans of mine they're two brothers what are their names fuck aaron i love this guy aaron aaron eisenberg and his brother um so sorry aaron no but they're so fucking funny and the script i just loved so much and i was kind of like feeling scared to do a movie when i got the

when i got the offer for the role i was like do I want to do this like I'm intimidated like I've never I haven't done this since train wreck and then I was in um uh oh my god I feel pretty and but those were like it was with Amy and it was like your friend and she kind of nurtures you through it so I'm like I don't belong in a movie set so um I was kind of like do I even want to do this and then I was like no this is actually really funny like the script was already funny so even if i'm bad it's gonna be good because the lines are funny um aaron eisenberg this isn't him this is the actor jesus christ well anyway him and his brother wrote this movie and i got this role and i fucking loved them uh and i will will arnett produce uh this film and i was in my trailer at one point because our call time

was 7 p.m and it was we shot until 5 a.m which was so weird but like i was game because i got to sleep all day and prepare for it i had like scheduled it right but i get there and um i am in my trailer after getting hair and makeup and we're waiting for the shot to be set up or whatever and um i hear will arnett's voice outside my trailer and i'm like holy shit that's what it's so cool to like hear because will arnett's voice is so distinct and it was kind of and i was kind of voice memoing um my boyfriend at the time and i was like oh my god i just heard will arnett let me like see if i can record it so you can like hear joe but he was just outside like talking outside the trailer uh you know talking to

someone at a loud volume so it wasn't like he was i was recording something that he was trying to be like private about but i just it wasn't about getting the content i just wanted to hear him like have capture his tone so my boyfriend could hear it and can you believe his test results came back positive can you believe that it's bad but he won't talk whenever i press record so i just start decided to just like press record on my phone and just make a voice memo and just let it run and if he does and then i can put on my makeup and i can work on the script and like i don't have to worry about recording will or not i'll just capture it if he happens to speak again and then minutes later the writer aaron um came by my trailer to like hang out and just like to talk and we are

just we got along so well he's such a nice guy he was so friendly he was he was like made me feel like so calm and comfortable being there we had a great conversation about therapy it was awesome we like shared things that like you know we were just like kind of like oh my god I don't usually tell people this like the first meeting like we were getting like really like dark and like we were talking about therapy and I realized after he left i record no then i go to put his number in my phone to be like oh let's keep in touch and i pull it up and it look and it's been recording the entire time i'm like i am so sick we even remarked during the conversation like we wouldn't this be funny if this were a podcast it would be the most fuck like our both of our lives would be ruined if this

you know the stuff that we were talking about came out or not ruined but like and i had and like the irony that i was recording it the entire time i have not erased it yet but it's not because i don't i'm never gonna listen to it but i will go back and erase it erin don't be scared if you hear this the confidence of you i would never listen to it going into a place like hey we're gonna need you to wear a wire but don't think about the wire like you did it effortlessly because you didn't realize like you could have like taken down if you put january 6 committee outside of nixon's office in 1970 whenever that happened i don't remember i wait what do you think watergate was don't you do this to me don't okay you know what i'll admit i do not know history very well but it

was when a guy named deep throat who was like his code name he recorded president nixon um doing some sort like lying essentially he got caught lying and committed you know perjury i guess i don't know if it was under oath but he was like caught lying and that the watergate tapes were the tapes of him lying and then he had to um resign here's the thing i don't know is that it is that watergate from what i know is i think they caught people going through like files in black and white. That's what I picture too. But I also picture it in black and white. Listen, if you ask me about when the Korean War was or, you know, any kind of. The War of 1812?

That one I think I got. I think it was on December 18th. They flipped the dates. So that's how I know that. Flip the date. Yeah, flip the day. Anyway, I had, yeah. So what was my point?

So how did you feel? Will Arnett was not on set. Will Arnett, not on set. It was a guy who like smokes a lot and has a really great voice that sounded identical to him. It was just, again, irony. Someone that sounded like will or not would

be on the set because i said to aaron i go um oh and i heard will or not outside that was fucking awesome to hear joe joe bluth's voice i was like i'm so excited and he's like he's not coming till monday he's not here and i was like he is 100 here i've never been so sure of anything in my life he goes no that was that's carl and i'm like he's like yeah they do sound similar i'm like they sound identical it was insane um so carl's just like uh the security guy who like like his family doesn't talk to him anymore yeah like you just thought like and like what was carl talking about that you thought he was just sending he was just like talking to someone from afar shouting and i was like and it sounded like will orett kind of like being cool with the crew. And I was like,

Oh, Will Arnett's cool. Like he's just hobnobbing with the crew, but it was the crew. Dude, Will Arnett, he's so chill. He's in charge of crafts.

I bet he is cool with the crew. Who wouldn't be? Anyone who's not cool with the crew, what the fuck is wrong with, like, I was talking to crew on this set and I was like, cause this, at one point,

you know, in between scenes, I sit down or I'm looking for a place to sit. And this guy that's, I think he's an AD on the set is sitting down on this bench and he's like, oh my gosh, please sit here. And I'm like, no, you deserve to sit. I can sit over in this chair and he's like, do you prefer the bench?

Like, which if they found out that I did not give you a bench, I would be in trouble. and he's like, do you prefer the bench? Like, which if, if they found out that I did not give you a bench, I would be in trouble. And I'm like, why, why am I more special than you? You like, I just don't get it. And I'm not trying to be like, I'm such a cool celebrity because sometimes I can be a complete diva, but that is insane to me that I get to cut the line for craft services that I get like fanned and like shaded when other people don't.

But if you're watching stupid, you're watching on YouTube. If you're listening, if you watch this on YouTube, that I get fanned and shaded when other people don't. I think that's so stupid. If you're watching on YouTube, you have white sunglasses. I have white sunglasses. I am wearing a shiny Elvis-like jacket. That's so funny. I look like the most diva celebrity. You look like you would sit on top of Carl's back. I feel like one.

Carl would be like, get off me be like oh we'll learn that yeah um i think we're gonna have to let carl go uh he did not carry me to set today no i heard from a crew member that someone got fired on set uh one time because talent did not get their lunch and the person that got their lunch every day, his daughter had leukemia and he had to go to the hospital to visit her. And that guy lost his job because he wasn't there to serve lunch himself to that person that day. Oh my God.

Blind item. How insane is that? Firsthand, I heard that from a person that explained it to firsthand. So maybe I got it secondhand. Yeah, maybe that's thirdhand. I don't know at this point and you know like it might have been slighted i i know these stories get exaggerated

of celebrities being twats but like some of the behavior is insane and uh needs to be called out and i don't know that i'm the one to do it because i do love to you know i like celebrities liking me like i'm going to talk about kim kardashian on the um like kim kardashian called me out for slamming her or not she didn't call me out the sun this you know those dumb british tabloids the u.s version of the sun is like nikki glaser slams kim kardashian for you know rips i think they said they're fake you're right yeah yeah oh rips rips thank you rips and they said reality tv rival because of my billboards there's precedent because of my billboards that he wrote and produced said

keeping up with the keeping up is so last season and or so last year and so they were like that was the first one they were like nikki glazer skewers the kardashians with uh you know this billboard and then. That's precedent. Now I'm their rival. All I did was call out that she has more work done than she tells people. I think people need to be transparent about it.

They're going to bring it up. That sun thing came out. They even quoted me as saying fake. They used quotations in the headline fake. I just want to say I could sue for that because I did not say fake, yet they quoted me as saying fake. So like, honestly, I could sue because it's, unless they, unless I said, I'm sure I've said fake at some point in my life. So they can quote, oh, you said it on, you said it on this podcast that we're listening to right now. They can always be like, you've said it once. I'll represent you it i'll represent you i'll represent for me i did not call them fake and maybe i have in things

before but not in that circumstance i actually said i liked kim and i do like kim i think she's funny i am rooting for her and pete i think they're adorable i think i would be friends with kim kardashian i just and you know what who am i to be like you i don't need her to tell the whole story but i want to tell people the whole story that I know with no judgment on her. I think that people that have work done should be open about it and proud of it. I can afford this thing that makes me look fucking amazing and keeps me youthful. I found the fountain of youth. You can't afford it, but I found it and I get to use it.

That's what I'm doing. Like you would, you would do it too. Like I wish they would just be more open about it. She owns the fountain and it's in the middle of their Fawa. I watched their Fawa. The Fawa. It's like Fawa.

If, if it was a house, you know what I mean? It's like deep. My favorite MC is, uh, at at the seller is already fawa um there's another fawa i was gonna oh uh my favorite philadelphia uh area sandwich gas station is fawa uh but how do you make it f there's gotta be a joke there with F in it. Anyway. So I, um, wait, what, what did you even say? Fawa. And so what was the real word you were saying again?

Foyer. Oh yeah. Foyer. They do have one in their foyer do. So I watched it. I follow this woman on, um, YouTube and you know, she does a disclaimer at the top where she's like, I am not here to shame celebrities. I just want celebrities to be more transparent about what the work they've had. And she's had a ton of work done. And she did a video about Kim Kardashian. And based on this article Kim Kardashian just did that came out, I guess, yesterday, where this girl like kind of takes it apart. And she's very fair and very measured and very intelligent about what she how she assesses someone's face to say if they have worked on it's all speculative it's not her saying that they've had she's had it done but she says

based on the information in this article i can say almost 100 with surety allegedly that kim kardashian yeah um because usually those influencers usually say 110 when they mean 100 so 100 is actually less. She says, I am 100% sure that Kim Kardashian, she doesn't say 100% has a medical clinic in her house that they have an ability to do surgery and have lasers because they have a medical clinic within their compound. So they don't have to go leave anywhere looking bruised. They don't have to sneak into a place off Wilshire. She's like, I am confident based on, you know, what Kim Kardashian said and alluded to in this article that they have on staff surgeons like in their house. Yeah. It's like having like a recording

studio in your house. She's probably like a podcast room. You're right. Like, I don't want to go down to the studio. That's the podcast, like podcasting it as important to the car or, you know, plastic surgery is as important to the car or uh you know plastic surgery is as important to the kardashian brand as podcasting is to me it's like i you know i would have done the same thing and the amount of times they probably go into that room they're like dude come on you don't it's like i am in the middle of night instead of going to the kitchen they're like okay literally my ass lifted six inches dude that is so funny you say that she literally does she says says, I,

she goes, I care about looking beautiful more than 99% of people. Um, it's just what I care about staying young and looking beautiful. That's what she says. And I like that. Cause it's honest. She's like, I just take it very seriously. When I get home, I go and I do, after I put the kids down, I do laser treatments, which is like, you can't get a laser treatment without like medical professionals. So that's what kind of is the evidence there that that woman said. But that's what she does after after a long day. She goes and gets like these painful laser treatments. And and, you know, it does take work, but it is the woman in the video is just like you do.

Maybe you don't care. I bet a lot of women care as much as you do, but they don't have access to lasers after they put their kids down. But they would do it. A lot of people go, well, she was almost kidnapped and killed in Paris, so she needs everything in her house. I'm sure she probably has a McDonald's in her house. Dude, I bet that is...

Can you imagine how traumatic that was? We do forget about that. It happened to her. That is fucked up, dude. To be burglarized and assaulted by armed gunmen and, like, tied up like that in a foreign country, fucking terrifying. So, like, I like Kim and I like her. I feel for her. So, anyway, I'm going to talk about it on the talk today, on today's talk.

And I just want to be very mindful of being like having her back and not, I don't want to get another headline of me skewering Kim. Cause I like her. So I got to think about how I answer that question tomorrow. So wait, so go back. Oh, I got to go to break.

Yeah, we're going to go to break, but I'm going to reveal on the next segment why I lived Andrew's almost in one of what could have been one of Andrew's curse moments of his life.

All right, we're back. I said 2008, you said 2005.

This was probably your dream because I gave it away to him already. He knows who I encountered last night. And so, I'm sorry, I gave it away on the break. I wanted to do it on air, but I flubbed it. Well, you know how much I was obsessed with this guy because I think you only said the first... I said the first name and you knew instantly. I don't even think you said the whole name.

Oh, yeah. I might have just started like. Yeah, it was just a sound. Breathing before I said the name. Yeah. I really just projected just how my body winced as I was about to say it. You sensed who it was. No, I'm just kidding.

I don't know how to feel about anyone anymore. He was very nice to me very nice to me that's all i'll say and i was i gotta admit flattered so um last night i performed at supernova i met two besties that approached me after my set and i loved meeting them they were so freaking nice liz and then there was another one and i forget your name but you were so special to me as well so thank thank you for coming out. And then Mel, Heisenberg. I am drip.

No, I met Mel, Madeline, Madeline. Yeah. Yeah. I met her at the comedy store and she was lovely. Her.

And I believe her sister, that was the set I had after. So I had three sets last night, but at the supernova, I got there and poor mark the guy who runs the show is like panicking and just was stressed out and kind of like oh having one of those nights and i was like it's okay buddy it's just a show you know we'll be okay and i could tell he was just like just stressed out and uh i wanted to leave his stress so he was like hey um

so and i was like well when am i up and i was supposed to be up like i had a time schedule and i was there for it and he's like um so jeremy piven's up next and then um and then it's you and he was so scared to tell me because you know getting bumped by anyone at that place is always like very reverential of me but actually i don't like to bump anyone if someone thinks they're going up i hate when i have to come in and like knock everyone's time back i'm mindful of it if it ever happens it's because a producer like just is like we gotta get nicky in i have never sent anyone to bump anyone so if i apologize to any comedian ever who gets quote-unquote bumped by me i unless it's urgent i will never like i'll always wait and i'll always like ask you but anyway so he i didn't care and I was like I've never seen Jeremy

Piven perform and also I was an Entourage fan so I'll just watch a set what how have you encountered Jeremy Piven what did he mean to you Andrew as a one of the number one Entourage fans back in the day I mean he was everything to me I mean he was my was he your favorite character uh yeah I mean, he was my favorite character. Yeah. I mean, he was you watch it now. It's cringy, but it's it's still funny. Like, he's still and he's really represented that time. And I think he was a great actor. And I loved him on Ellen's show. He had a very big range.

Like, he's a good actor. Like, he fucking his love foroyd even though he was insanely uh racist and and derogatory but there was a love underneath it which i think is a complex person that you rooted for even though he was a piece of shit and that's hard to do to portray smart he was a good husband he cared about his kids however he was a and he and he cared about his who he was representing like it really felt like a connection with him and vince and yeah any guy fucking watching that show it completely constructed my whole personality did you hug it out bro with your friends like did you do like hug it out

yeah after that was his line i hug it out and then i would fucking yeah would you say hug it out like would you do yeah because that was his line right for people who don't know because it was such a show that was on a while ago but a lot of our listeners have no idea he was the agent to vince on vince is the lead character of anandraj and ari was like the cunning hilarious uh he kind of reminds me uh what other characters would he remind you of like that he's been i mean he's great in pcu have you ever seen pcu no no he was in something else too but he was i really liked him on ellen ellen's show ellen he's the friend of serendipity i haven't seen that either i just know he like like uh rips up i remember the trailer and being like that's probably gonna

be my favorite movie and i never ended up seeing it but i love kate beckinsale and who's the other guy you like it it's one of those cheesy ones where he rips it up and he throws the papers and he's like if we're meant to be we're meant to be well that's what happens in the worst person in the world have you guys seen it yet whoa whoa i'm halfway in i'm halfway sorry how do you like it i didn't know it was subtitles you didn't tell me i'm reading a book you gotta let someone know you can't recommend a movie and then expect them to read a book in two days i do not think it needs to be noted if something is going to have to i assume you have are literate i have watched you watch narcos and miss entire scenes in a

different language that you don't speak when you're on tiktok and then look back up and you'll miss an entire murder and like an entire like, you know, over a deal. I'll catch it in the speed. I would observe you and be like, there's no way this is a huge plot point that he is missing because he's entranced in TikTok right now and he can't be hearing it even.

Because he doesn't. I'll get it in the recap. It's so funny. I always get it in the recap. But yeah, you got to pay attention to this one so yeah no anyway so uh so jeremy piven so then you see him he goes up now you have i'm sure you have some ideas of him with certain stories that have come out over the last few years are you like it's interesting to watch something like that a character that you like on tv and then you hear shit about him and then you're watching him as a comedian i

just you know what i can't do all the research i mean i guess i could do the research and just like i just it's exhausting for me to police that right now and at that time so i'm not gonna be like say something shitty i don't want to instigate anything and i'm just like i'm just there to do a fucking set and then talk about yes you know like and observe but what my experience was um I thought he's obviously new at comedy and uh he has a great impression I think so but he's up against people that have been doing it 20 plus years it's like it's you know it just stands out because it would be the same thing there was something about it I liked that I have to say is that it's something he obviously cares a lot about

probably always wanted to do got a late start and i admire any adult who starts late in something that you look foolish when you're compared to people your age that are also doing this thing so i i like and it he didn't look foolish i mean he has good he has a couple really like well-written well-crafted jokes and then there was like a vulnerability that i liked of him talking about like being angry about uh certain actors who are working and he isn't like having bitterness about his career is is is funny and interesting and so there's definitely something there like he you could clearly tell he's like this is something he's always wanted to do and pursue. And so I have respect for that, but yeah,

that's he, and he brought me up and it was very nice. Cause I was like, does he even know who I am? I went to the premiere of an entourage season one time. No, no, it was season like three or something.

I just moved to LA, whatever, 2006, the summer, 2006, whenever that came out, I got tickets, tickets.

I got, um, like invited through my manager who was like hip-hopping me at the time. And I invited Anthony Jesselnik and he was down to go and we went, and I guess it was like a date. I don't know. I don't even fucking know. But, um, it, uh, but I just remember it was so good. That might've been one of the coolest things I've ever done is going to an entourage party and i was like so out of place a cigarette there oh if i if yeah if we were smoking indoors i was definitely smoking inside there so what do you wear to an entourage like

i don't even i can't even imagine what i wore i had the worst fashion sense back then i don't know what i wore i really just hope that it was i got lucky that night because it then by some off chance i was like looked kind of innocuous because if i was ever trying to stand out fashion wise back then it was a nightmare um but uh yeah but i remember he checked me i felt like he checked me out one time and it was very validating because i mean that was like he was like such a fucking stud back then i mean this was and i remember being like jeremy pitman checked me out like got it and then last night i felt very i felt nice because he said um when he brought me up he was he like knew all my credits and he said i was um absolutely hilarious and i could tell he meant it and um for whatever reason that praise meant something to me from the girl who used to be like

he's a good comedic actor like like you know and what you know when he was famous back in the day when you used to like look up to him there was like you know sometimes you meet people that you have an idea of of when you're an adolescent or like a young adult and you idolize them or you like famous people they can do no wrong yeah like i i still do it i love famous people and i get like excited just to meet someone that i'm like oh my god i like used to watch you on tv and like i had no idea i'd ever like be like meeting you there's something cool about that and i have to admit that that was cool to me and i said on stage i was like jeremy vivian thinks i'm funny that kind of feel that strokes my ego in 2004

2004 nicky is loving life yeah dude if he if he liked vince and he he you know he had to deal with eric that was tough eric didn't really know who he was he was a manager favorite entourage character uh fuck i mean i would probably say uh turtle or drama you know turtle came to my one-man show remember that's right that was so fun oh my god why was a black box theater of like 70 people i mean it was like packed but it was a small theater and turtle was there that was why was he there again that's bizarre he was you know i have some rich friends that somehow are connected that means so much to you i mean talk up like well he came up to me afterwards and he goes... You did your most like vulnerable material

in front of your dad who was also there. So nervous in New York, one night only, Andrew Collins telling us the truth and Turtle is there? And Turtle, I was Turtle. That would have been like if Kelly Kapowski was at mine. You know, like that's big. I was Turtle.

Yeah, you were Turtle. He was who you. That's big. I was Turtle. You were Turtle. He was who you were. I'm George Costanza. I'm the friend that can't get it together. But there's something in him that could be there if he just put it together. Isn't that ironic? And that was me that night. That was me that night. That was me that night putting it together.

Yeah. You, the guy that is most, the archetype of you that is most well known in recent modern entertainment shows up at your one man show. Isn't that ironic? Insanely ironic. It's like when you do a one man show and the guy you've modeled your life after shows up. Yeah.

And then he came up to me after and he goes man he goes that was really good and he's like man you you really don't you really were going through it like something like that something like like i thought i had a lot of anxiety something or i thought i was anxious something like that but like in a nice like it felt good it felt really good that's what I said. I go, pick me up now. Wait, why? I'm Vince now.

Oh, now, yeah. You got to join my entourage. Yeah, I go, I'm Vince now. He goes, dude, go walk my dog. And I'm like, dude, whatever. I'm still Vince. I'll pick up your dog shit. You were invincible that night.

I'm Queens Boulevard shit that I'm picking up off of Queens. What's Turtle doing now? Do you keep up with his career he's at a my one-man show obviously nothing's going on that was a while ago though maybe he's at a pop like you know these guys like some people need to come back you know well i know he he was on another show he did get on a different show um being an actor it's fucking hard i mean it's like yeah i don't know i mean in the work whatever it's not like that fun when you get down to it because it's a lot of waiting around and it is rewarding and you got a lot of attention everything but it's being an actor like it's you're lucky if you get to work consistently

i wanted to ask you when you acted as a comedian i feel like i have more control actors just have to wait for roles to come in if they don't if they don't write you know but how did even if you do write like how do you get something made sorry how did you feel acting in the movie i felt like it was great i definitely could have done better which is what i say about literally everything i do if i would have put a little bit more work into it, but it, I had really like a lot of fun with the character and I give myself an A minus. Oh yeah.

Improvisation. As soon as I met the writer guy, I was like, Oh my God, this guy like is a fan of mine. He would love it. If I like rift on his script, which is already funny.

So I felt like just such a freedom to do that. And the girl that played the lead role, her name is Elizabeth Lowe. And she was so nice, and like, cool and cute and like made me feel so comfortable. Like I was a fish out of water there for sure. And in between, you know, the takes we they a lot of people had questions about F Boy Island. So that was fun to like kind of um answer a bunch of reality show questions for people and like have a little like like this act this scripted world i was like i'll tell you what it's like out there in the unscripted waters yeah yeah it was fun and they all watched the show so they were like excited to be like wait a second so like is garrett what's garrett up to do you like even

know if any of them are still together and like it was just fun to like dish it out i was literally listening i was looking at um old cast members instagrams yesterday because yeah you put up that post a couple of them liked it and i just went through like a hole of going through like they're all like where are they now all they do is live yeah where are they now they're all the same they're just oh my god have you seen what's his name yet that we're gonna meet on uh today on f boy island season two have you seen what is his name the guy that is like so jacked now that we were friends with oh he's all over my tiktok he comes up on my tiktok all the time the cowboy he cowboy wait are you thinking no no no not him no the guy that we made friends with that was like like

just a little scamp that we ended up like just feeling like we liked what was his name he's the only person i followed on twitter no no no no we did i can't give away what we did with like i can't give away anything but he's the guy that lifts weights a lot he used to be fat he is kind of a shit talker he like is constantly trying to overcome like did not getting laid at one point he does mma stuff come on oh yes yes yes yes yes what's his fucking name i know his name should we say his name yeah i mean the show's out i don't um oh really okay well new jersey he's from new jersey he lives in houston texas Okay, well, that gives it away more than his name would. That's more specific.

There's probably more Brandons on the show than there are guys who live in New Jersey or Texas. This show, the ongoing theme is, what was his name? This whole show is, what's that dude? I was really proud of myself. I haven't forgotten a woman's name yet. What's Watergate and what's that guy's name? That's the show right now. Yeah, what is Watergate? I can't remember his name, but he was a...

He's all over my Instagram. He's glistened up. The reason I don't know his name is because his Instagram name is something and not what his name is. You know, like Striker87 name is you know like yeah like striker 87 like it's something yeah it's something like that uh fit man I can't believe I think back at the show it feels like so long ago and and I really forget what happened I'm so excited to watch it again so many whales whales like squirrels so many whales we gotta take a break and we'll be back with more show after that.

I almost want to use, like, put in what just happened because I just said I was going to be late to this photo shoot I'm doing. And then not only am I 15 minutes late, I asked them to get me a Starbucks too. And I almost want to play the audio of me asking

because in the middle of it, I realized, like, I'm becoming the person that I was just saying. Like like not only am i disrespecting their time by being late but i'm like but can you also get me like this really specific latte and like but i have to say i feel like the way i asked is not too diva like and you be the judge of it will inlay the audio here let me just text really quick to um delay this because i'm just going across the street but um need to push my gonna be gonna be 15 blades to shoot because of pardon tell them sorry okay um also also is there any way i can have them get me a starbucks question mark if that's too much trouble i totally understand period um so you determine if i'm a diva or not that you just heard me ask i was dictating it but i feel like if they can't get it i'll go get it

but i'm just gonna be more late if you know what i'm saying because mama need cough cough at what point does a coffee order turn from uh where it becomes too much where it's like okay this is this is you're being an asshole by adding 40 different directions usually people now whenever because i always preclude it with dude this is really embarrassing can i just put it in your phone like i don't even want you seeing this can you please not look and they usually are like oh my god are you kidding me who cares like they are so non-judgmental and i really appreciate that because my order is embarrassing and but your order is not that bad anymore i mean i feel like it has like almond milk, extra hot.

Um, yeah. Almond milk, extra hot to Stevia, two pumps of sugar-free vanilla. I mean, that's five extra things. It doesn't sound like I just ordered a latte,

a frappuccino with no cream, light cream, something like where it's like half the cream, three quarters of the cream. I don't know. There's like like there's certain specific things i hear orders and i'm just like you you just you really just like control you just like to inconvenience people yeah just pour it out in the street i just like what i like and you know uh i want to just say that i have a special out this weekend on hbo and in addition to f boy island which you guys have to watch if you want to just say that I have a special out this weekend on HBO. And in addition to F boy Island, which you guys have to watch, if you want to have some fun with us on Monday,

and even if you don't, we might just, you can just join us for the F boy Island recap called F Island, F anal Island that we're going to do on Monday, every Monday that the show is on. I don't know how many, but so check out F boy Island, at least,

you know, one episode, five minutes of it to get a gist. So you can listen on Monday. And then also my special. I would really prefer you to watch that if I'm being completely honest. I mean, what a week for you. I know.

And it only went this way because I forgot. Like, I didn't want to edit my special. So my special is supposed to come out in March. But it is almost more fitting for the time right now. I'm very excited about it. Yeah. Because everyone that I've done interviews with, like journalists, the woman that I talked to from from the talk i'm doing the the i'm on abc i think it's on i don't know it jumps around abc is the talk today and the woman i did an interview with she watched it like

to prepare for what i'm going to talk about she watched it and was like oh my god you've done it again like everyone's been very all the women have been like that about it and even the men have been like really effusive so i have a feeling people are gonna like it i'm just like i can't even i'm too close to it and also too far away from it because it was in november for me to like feel yeah you know objective about it but it is interesting how like depending on the time you put it out what's going on in the political world roe versus wade like women empowerment right now is fucking it couldn't be any more powerful that have a woman up there fucking demanding commanding demanding and commanding the commander hamdrick commander yeah the demander and just fucking crushing it and i don't know i'm excited to see it i was there

that night you're in the intro it was unbelievable to be part of it turtle was there i'm sure and um yeah i don't know you put a lot of work into it i saw like it develop over time yes and then like i think what people don't understand is like how you take like you've worked you worked really hard to get to make it what it is and then even when we're there the amount of last second edits you do and you just your brain is fucking incredible that's the only way i ever work is if the pressure's on so sometimes it's like the last it always is the last second that all this creative energy starts like shooting out of me like all these great ideas.

It's so annoying that I can't be better about getting into that kind of state of flow. Not five minutes before I tape an HBO special would be nice for that to happen other times. But yeah, I'm trying to think how to get into that flow because that is interesting point that you say that, like,

I can't do it until unless the pressure's on. write so many jokes while i'm walking on stage because someone's there that i want to impress like it's yeah because i don't rise to the occasion unless i can i am um impressing someone or overcoming something but when you're doing a show for a thousand people why why is that feeling and i'm not saying that it's not completely there because obviously you put on a good show but like why why does it take the ultimate it's like it's like well that's why i do the climbing ever is first climbing another mountain like why because the material i feel i i know that the material i've worked hard on is going to be better than me spouting off new material on a theater show.

And I feel like, so I, I've invented ways to create that kind of frenetic, like joke writing energy that I do. That's the roast that I do. I feel like I always wait 15 minutes before the show to start writing roast to look up facts about the town so that it's like a pressure situation. I've got to write jokes fast.

They've got to be really good. And if they're not good, I can always excuse that I just started them. So I think that's the protection is like, I always had the excuse that, well, I just wrote this. And honestly, I'm not going to work hours on roast jokes for a town for one night. That's a waste of my time and energy because it's a fleeting thing. So it's smarter to wait 15 minutes. But it's also a fun challenge.

And I kind of get the pressure of like, oh like oh shit i'm about to be like andrew is wrapping up and i don't know what i'm gonna say like i don't know the order of these things that just like makes me nervous and like makes me really excited makes my brain just like lock in and go figure it out bitch now's the time well pressure makes you say that and then that's the most beautiful thing is like we're at your special taping for hbo and you're literally doing that backstage and then it's one thing to like come up with it or come up with a line but then to perform the line effortlessly really is remarkable and you should give yourself more credit for that because it really is. And I don't know, it was really cool to see.

So I'm really excited to see this special. Thank you. Yeah. I, I'm really, thanks, Andrew. I really appreciate you saying that. Like, I feel like, um, like there are things I look at that I could say, I really wish I could redo it. And so many frustrating choices I made that I'm just like god that was

lazy come on Nagi like you know you can do better and I know that I failed in certain ways but I think that the places I've now realized like the places that I may have quote-unquote failed in terms of not sharpening not like making picking the best choice of words or not stumbling over something uh add a kind of casualness to it and like a more comfortable like conversational quality to it than a very performative stand-up show so i think that there is like something to be gleaned from the casual nature of the performance that might be from laziness but also is interesting and artistic in and of itself. I think it's artistic, especially with what you're wearing, what the situation is like. It's almost like the casualness while wearing something.

So like, you know what I mean? Like it's an opposite effect that I'm sure is tantalizes the brain somehow. I don't know how, but I'm sure it does. No, I honestly,

I watched it and it's fun to like i look pretty hot during it i gotta say like the same way i watched dualipa and i'm just like god fuck i could like watch her like i admire when a woman's body just looks like fuck that's sexy the whole time i like forgot i was me and was like damn girl and i was like oh that's me like because i watched it with my parents to shoot this promotional video that i'm having edited so i'm gonna like cut all their clips together of them groaning and saying like, Oh God, Nikki, don't say that. It's the first time they see it.

But I watched it with them. A year from now will be your porn. Yeah. It's going to be the same. That's my pussy. That's my pussy. There's no way. Mom.

I'm proud of you, Nick. That's my daughter. I don't know why i gave your dad a knee try to do an impression of my dad like what would it sound like because kirsten always did one and it was like australian it was like hey nick hey you want to come out and do uh play the guitar hey nick uh you know cincinnati is uh the best town in the uh i don't know uh i don't know why my dad impression is not even close to what he sounds like but it's always just like it's like this like it's just like a classic like

you know it sounds like a shirtless man like in a river like fighting a fish oh all right something like that that's what i love your dad shirtless a lot on instagram i'm like searching through i see all these wouldn't you be i mean he looks great for like hey i'm not hated 60 he's gonna be in august he looks amazing i'm like yes i'm so glad i have a dad bot this is gonna last no your dad shirtless in a way where it's like not it's like my step brother when he's sure my step brother can be shirtless and go into a gas station yeah my dad's not doing it to be sexual that was my dad's never been like i'm hot it's kind of yeah it's kind of like you when you say i'm wearing these clothes where i feel good yes not for the other person your dad doesn't put out his shirtless photos for other people to go

nice body it's just yeah this is his element final thought i want yes i want to be clear that i i will say like i did i i look attractive during it i look cute i'm healthy i like uh i just look like i'm having fun during it and i was having fun and so um i hope people watch it and i hope um young teenagers sneak it um and like and just get titillated by it and talk about it because Because I think it's good for young people to watch because I make the point in the special, but I don't think that I don't think we should shield our kids from, you know, hardcore porn, porn in general. Yes. Never let them watch that. But someone talking about the idea of porn, someone talking about the idea of sex and adult, who's not saying it's awesome. You've got to do it. Oh my God. Fuck. You're not cool. If you don't do it. Like shielding your kids from that is a good idea.

Like bad propaganda about like sex is good. But me talking openly about what sex is, is not going to scar your child and your child is not, if you don't have a lot of faith in your child, if you think your child's going to hear me say, just talk about the idea of sex and they're going to go out and go, I need to do that. Like, I don't know.

Kids are smart enough to go. You're not Grand Theft Auto. I don't need to do this now. What kid? Child or teen? I was not a kid. I was not. What'd you say?

Child or teen? Because. Even like child, teen, like children. There were things I heard when I was a kid or witnessed that obviously I shouldn't have happened too young. But, and I'm not talking about situations of abuse, but if a kid overhears something, here's something inappropriate. Usually when you're a kid, you don't understand because you don't know anything about sex or anything like that. And that's where it can get tricky with

like why molesters like get in with kids easier because kids don't understand it. They don't even know anything about it, but kids who have the general idea of sex and they watch my special i don't know i used to be a kid and when i saw adult material i knew it like that i wasn't that i was i almost was like god i'm gonna have to do that someday like i was like i'm so glad i'm a kid and i don't have to do that like i wasn't one of these kids that's like i'm gonna i'm gonna do that because everyone should get to like kids are smart enough to know that they don't get to do things yet don't you think yeah i don't remember watching poison ivy and seeing the girl get fucked on top of the car and being like i gotta go buy a car like i'm gonna go right fuck you can leave it there thank you sorry me yelling at the staff again i said thank you and i did it in a very nice tone, I think. Check the tape.

Check the tape. Don't rewind. You're already wearing a wire. You've been this whole time. Well, we would get to Fanthrax right now, but we're out of time. Can we do one and just to say we did it so we don't skip one? Do we have one, Noah? Sure.

I'm sorry, girl. Let's play. Oh, we got to play this. Okay. Here's our one fanthrax for today long-time listener og bestie hey it's holla um i was just listening to that episode where you were asking if anybody had been avoiding something in a relationship that then came up on tv and i was reminded of something i hadn't thought of in forever back in 2007 i was in a really fragile mental state i'd spent a year in psychosis too afraid to get help because um i didn't know what the hell was going on and meanwhile in tandem i was hanging out with my best friend i really liked him um i'd confessed my love to him

and he said nothing so with that we went back to my apartment turned the tv on put on the office where um pam or jim i don't know which one like confessed no love and my already psychotic brain yes uh broke and i started sobbing and um you know because i was like a beautiful minding this thing and yes i told my roommate that i needed to get help i needed to go to the er um she drove me i then got admitted to a psych ward for three weeks and I've been on the up and up ever since. So thanks for that reminder. Honestly, I hadn't thought about that in forever. If you're out there and need help, get it, please. So anyway, hijack. Is that illegal? Can I say hijack.

Is that illegal? Can I say hijack? Oh, yeah. You can go back. Yeah, you can do a backwards one. Holla don't cur. That's Holla, my best friend since fifth grade. Oh, that's really your friend?

I thought you were like, oh. Yes. No, that's my Holla who is going to be on our girls trip at the Hamptons. I love her so much. Holla, that is so good. And that was so compelling. And like, what a great story. God damn it. And it's so much. All of that is so good. And that was so compelling. And like, what a, what a great story. God damn it.

And it's so ironic. Again, this, this episode is filled with irony because that scene from the office, I literally have memorized. I don't have, I know a lot of people memorize office things. I don't watch the office, but that scene I've,

I've, you know, I've watched the series. I haven't even watched it all the way through, but I, that scene I have watched more. It used to be, I used to jerk off to that scene because it's so hot when jim confesses his love to pam like it's i used to literally touch one girl's trash is another girl's treasure truly oh my god that's so funny okay with that have a great weekend enjoy f boy island enjoy my special

good clean filth that's on hbo saturday night um f boy island is out now if you would watch my special live on hbo when it premieres that would mean the most to me but you can also see it on hbo max uh afterwards and uh yeah do not be cut and yeah and Jackalope.
