The Nikki Glaser Podcast Here's Nikki Hello, it's Nikki, welcome to the podcast Here I am, I'm in St. Louis, Missouri With Andrew, he has a basketball he is Playing with And hitting the mic with

Hey Andrew, how's it going? How's it hanging? No, do not throw me that ball That is, you would hit the mic It would hit my tooth, knock it out And the show would be over What if the mic went into your throat and ruined your vocal cord? Come back.

Oh my God. Yeah, the tooth just lodges into my perfectly smooth, skinny jeans vocal cord. Noah is here in Arizona. Thanks so much to everyone for the feedback. Oh yeah, you want him to do a layup? Yeah. That's like the one word i know from basketball when you

could hit oh it's the only word you know from basketball that's so cute i was like really uh you want to learn something a college layup is when you jump high enough where you slap the backboard it takes you four to six years to do it well it could take a junior year in high school i could finally do it it was a big moment it's a big moment for boys so what does it wait so what's the difference right so they got like a long like the backboard some backboards are higher but most normal size backward backboards when you do a layup you slap the backboard after you let the ball go you like kind of give it a little tap it's a white guy dunk that's what it is like when you when people when I'm running, I just want to like, I'd like grab

for a branch or something. You know, you like got to hit things up high when they're there to be hit. I love hitting a thing up high. I really do. It's so fun. Yeah. Yeah. There's a few signs in our hallway where you get to hit them a little bit.

Really? At least on the third floor. Are you, is that why we've had a bunch of fire alarms go off? You're just trying to take that five nine to about six one dude vertical leap was huge for guys back in the day they had shoes they had shoes where you uh would pump them well that was one thing we did have rebar pumps those were so cool i put it on my cock. True story. But no, they do stuff for your calves where it was called strength shoes or something,

and they were like higher here. So guys would all walk around in heels. We had those. Yeah. They were called shape-ups. Do you remember shape-ups, Noah? Oh, yes. Where are all the women who wore shape-ups in the 2008, want to say seven eight they were so popular brooke burke i think was like the spokesman for them they were in every magazine was like shape-ups

and they were bigger in the back than the front so that when you walked it like made you you were almost like walking uphill downhill i don't know it was just but they promised that you would like get extra get extra muscle tone from them. People are like, I want to just walk normally. I don't really need it. No, people are always looking for shortcuts to burn calories or tone or strengthen. If you can just strap on a belt that vibrates. People are still falling for that shit.

Do you still see that? Breaking news. Yeah? In 2021, Skechers had to pay $40 million to settle federal trade commission charges that it deceived customers with ads for the toning shoes. Yes. Bullshit. There's no one that has better legs because they wore shape ups.

But at what point can, if I was the plaintiff, at what point do I have a case? You know what I mean? How many times do I have to wear them to a case you know what i mean like how many times i have to wear them to go you know what fuck you i bet someone was like let's take this let's go to an expert and run tests on it and get like an actual data back yeah about what this is doing and then when it proved nothing it was like okay we have a case if you bought shape ups between the years get after them man i just missed out on a class action lawsuit about something. Metsaphemia?

No, it was something that I just missed the window. It was like some kind of beauty product. It would have just been fun to get a part of that. They paid like $14 billion or something to pay off all these people.

I forget what it was. This is a pointless story. Well, how do you get on a list like that? You got to find a lawyer or does one lawyer get everyone together you know something that i bought at like target though they wouldn't have my name associated with it it wasn't like a huge purchase either but it would have just been fun to go like yeah fuck you that didn't work forget what it was you look great but you also have so many tumors um i uh and baby powder you guys know about like don't use that ever. Really?

What do I do for my baby powder? Um, I mean, they don't use it anymore, but for years it had talc in it. But even after they said they took the talc out, which talc is talc is, has asbestos in it. And people have read about Johnson and Johnson's baby powder and cancer. Every little baby, Every baby and every... Women, they used to advertise it to women being like, you're a sloppy slut if you don't put baby powder on your pussy

so that everyone doesn't have to smell it. So women were dousing themselves in it for years and all these women got uterine cancer, ovarian cancer, and then they finally... I wonder if Big Pharma and Big Baby Powder, they know each other and they're like, and I'll scratch your back, you scratch mine. You know what I mean? Oh, like give people cancer and then they finally... I wonder if Big Pharma and Big Baby Powder, they know each other and they're like, and I'll scratch your back, you scratch mine.

You know what I mean? Oh, like give people cancer and then we will treat it. Yeah, because that's huge money. God, it's all so fucked. I mean, it's very Aaron Brockovich-y. Yeah. You know?

God, I love that movie. Where they were too close to like... That's a movie that I almost didn't see and I'm so glad I did. It was like, I saw it after it was big because it was big when I was like not into like

things about law. Like I was too young. It'd be a funny movie to watch right after pretty woman yeah just to see how where she went with her life yeah yeah she became like a brilliant person pretty woman julia roberts was always capable of being a litigator that's true she is she's a moxie that girl she did but that is like a movie there's so many old movies that i just was too young to appreciate how like fucking good they are like if i would have been too if someone out there hasn't seen jerry mcguire get fucking on it aaron brockovich um what are some other movies that like that have a first and last name thomas crown affair i've seen that, but I hear it's good, right? Forrest Gump.

I never saw the Green Mile. I never saw... Who's that guy? That's my next nephew. That guy? Miles Green. That's a good name, Miles. Miles has been big right now.

Do you ever just stumble upon a child's name and you're like i want a baby yeah and then i just go i should just get a band yeah i mean it's it's weird if you go backwards into that like if you're like i find a name i got a name let's ruin 18 years of my life speaking of a name so you know how we call things that are like hard to hear like ear rape but said french so it doesn't offend anyone and you can say it in front of people and no one goes what ear rape Sarah Lena saw some

therapist my friend Sarah Lena saw a therapist that is like challenging her to put herself in more uncomfortable situations because she's so I think she'll be okay with me saying this if she's not well this is just a test to put yourself in an uncomfortable position. Listen to this podcast.

Listen to me paraphrase the therapy you went to privately and shared with me one-on-one. No, I really don't think she'd have a problem with this. But she went to a guy that was like, and I think so many people can relate to this. She's a people pleaser. She just wants everyone to be okay all the time.

She will sacrifice anything of herself to make others feel comfortable all the time. She's better at it than anyone I know. I'm almost like, will you please not stop doing that? Because I really like staying at your place. And having you buy me a Dave Matthews sweatshirt. She's like, by the way, staying in the Hamptons will be $40,000 a week now. You're like, stay away from that therapist. Yeah, I think he's bad.

I think he's bad. He told me you'd say this. Sarah Lena, I want to challenge you to be uncomfortable by paying for my stay. Even though I know that's like you standing up for yourself, but I think going back. So anyway,

he challenged her to do more things that make her feel awkward or like things that she would be like, I want to get out of this. So she's supposed to do a breathing technique, she said, where it's like holding your breath for seven seconds, letting it like some kind of breathing technique that causes anxiety. And she's supposed to meditate through it to like trigger her anxiety in a safe place and then learn breathing like other techniques to get out of it. So it's kind of interesting. But she said that's too hard to do. So she went to this like mommy and me kind of like class with babies the other day and everyone's introducing their baby's name around the circle and she started hearing so many arapa names you know no and she was like so she introduced leon just to make herself feel really awkward as Leon Arape.

And people weren't even saying last names, but I guess some people were saying, like, you know, two names. Yeah. Like Chance Hope or whatever. Or like Erin Brockovich. Yeah. So wait, so she said this just to feel uncomfortable. Her name was Leon Arape, and she it was she felt so weird but like no one knew of course.

Well it sounds foreign. No one's going to call you out on it. And she kind of looks a little bit like oh what maybe that's a family name. People are like Leon? Yeah. Wait so what did no one said anything? She just thought it would cause her? No she just said

it made her feel so uncomfortable so she had had to like get through it so now she's she's so amazing she like tackles anything that is put in front of her she'll just like start doing like most people would go like i went to a guitar lesson the other day and i'm supposed to like and and i'm going to voice um therapy and she's giving me these practices that you have to do you know like when you go to physical therapy or like even a nutritionist or you know yeah trainer you have to like do the stuff every day that's why when i used to go to a trainer i used to just go to him every day because i go i'm never going to do the stuff alone there's just no way the class yeah yeah so i've been doing the voice therapy but like the guitar lesson i'm not like doing i'm just playing what i want to

play i'm not doing what he wants to do but she just like fucking does the stuff so i was really proud of her for doing something so fucking weird yeah guitar when i when i started taking lessons when they you know scales and stuff like that i'm like can i just play crash into me nine times you know what i mean like i just i don't anything it's like it's the same it goes back to the reading the book and learning about the clouds like it's like an extra layer of like why do I need this to get to this like we don't like theory I don't like theory like the idea of what is it about it's like no just can we get to a to b as quick as possible I think that they're and for what I want to do on guitar I really don't think that I need scales but I do believe that they help with like moving your fingers fast for sure I don't really care about learning how to make a

major key minor or how to like I just would rather memorize the entire fret board of like oh the shape is down here like that's how my brain works better than being like oh well then if I take this this is an e then it becomes an f sharp and then it's like and then learning how like it jumped whatever that will will unlock like all these possibilities that you're not even aware of because you don't have that knowledge yet but here's what i think that's true you're right here's the thing though i i do know how how to like make a chord shape in the in the first fret and then transfer it up the neck

and know what each of those are based on the chord shape. I know what that is now, but I don't know what notes go together. So even if I know that down here is an F sharp minor, I don't know what other, it doesn't matter to me what other chords I go. I would rather, the reason i know what chords go together is because i play thousands of songs and i've memorized it like oh this song has these five

chords so those go together and that's how i'm learning which is a backwards way of learning but that's kind of how my brain works better than the other way around yeah i don't i don't want to learn the minutiae before getting to the broad thing you just want to do it i mean with golf though it gets very detailed yeah and then my brain you know for about seven months i was like insane about breaking down my swing i would think about literally the golf swing seems so simple but you could break it down maybe like thousands of ways i mean your body is hundreds of muscles doing all different things like but if you break it down to just three movements just this this and then if you go back a certain way you could come forward a certain way

that's the simplest thing with golf you know but no i don't know well i guess essentially like there are there is a way but then when you start playing, if you're playing guitar, you start overthinking, and then you go, you're not playing anymore. You're just fucking, you're like a robot. I have to go from here to here,

and then you lose all your rhythm. You're too tense, because then you're not going to play as well. You need that sometimes. You need to be, when you're an amateur, not that you're an amateur, but you need to be obsessive over the details to become a pro like yeah it's so weird when you you even the other

night i was watching a stand-up that is like very good very good and then i went to a clip of him 10 years ago which he was very good then too that's why there's clips that exist of him he was already killing it but just 10 years like you just see this person that you go, that's a person who's worried about what's going to happen on the stage. Yeah. And a little bit nervous, even though he was killing it at that point in his career already. But there was just still some tenseness that was like,

not as funny, not as easy to watch as him now, which is just like natural born killer has no, there's no, there's no tension. And that's just about doing it enough yeah i guess you have to learn those little things to forget them yeah way yeah you have to learn it to them for holding my fucking pick is so hard but it has to be they i'm start i'm gonna um start

running with one i'm just gonna start carrying one around because i want it to just be second nature that that's the fingers i used to hold the, even though it's so abnormal for me to just hold a pick with two fingers instead of three. Oh. Why does that help? Because it makes your hand looser. If you have two fingers attached to the pick on the other side, it just makes your hand like, and it's supposed to be like loose. I don't know.

It's so frustrating. No, that makes sense. But yeah, I mean, it's like in football, if you fumbled a football, like they'd have people, you carried a football everywhere. You just carry it around. Yes. Just like uh in football if you fumbled a football like they'd have people you carried a football everywhere you just carry it around yes just like it becomes part of you did you ever do the thing in high school or middle school where they make you carry the bag of flour or the egg to pretend it's a baby oh and you throw it down the stairs yeah did you ever have to do that we had to do that i'm trying to think it was a bag of flour did you have to do that no i mean

no way we did not have those kinds of classes in had to do that. I'm trying to think. It was a bag of flour. Did you have to do that, Noah? No way. We did not have those kinds of classes in my school. Yeah, that seems backwards. The only way you could opt out of it is if you already had a baby. Name flour. Wait, Noah, can I ask you a question? Sure. You postponed the podcast today by 10 minutes because you said you needed to wash your face.

Does it take you 10 minutes to wash your face? I guess reapplying makeup and everything. I actually did not wash my face. I just put my makeup and everything. I actually did not wash my face. I just put my makeup over the moisturizer I put on before bed last night. No judgment. It's so funny you said that because last night I spent the night at Chris's for the first time in like... I can't even remember. Yeah, a way game.

And we went to go see the Toadies at the pageant. Do you know the Toadies oh like the band yeah yeah yeah i would rather have seen little tadpoles that are called little toadies no no no they were great actually they were great they played this whole album it was kind of like oh my god like they start they went on at 10 reverend horton heat opened up do you know that band cool good for you if you don't oh my god I

sorry Reverend Horton Heat you're my least favorite band and I'm probably your least favorite comedian it's not it's like Rockabilly I'm not into Rockabilly it was like Zoot Suit Riot

Cherry Poppin' Daddies but it was like Cherry Poppin' Grandies they're very talented musicians good songwriters not my favorite backtracking can I just say though they really

I mean like they were all i was watching this in two fingers he was amazing oh they were all amazing as three three-piece band but um i during reverend horton heat we wait i just want to say during reverend horton heat i'm so not into it and my it hurts my ears so much i can't believe what people do to their ears at these places i always have my earring my hearing has become extraordinary sensitive recently I don't know why but I read this girl from love on the spectrum on the American version she posted about these ear but like what are they called ear had earplugs plugs. Ear plugies. Yeah, ear plugies.

That you can wear because she's like, I have really sensitive hearing and sometimes like people's voices, just loud like buses. And I have these, and so I got these little ear plugs that have been great because even yesterday I was in like a meeting

and this woman was talking and her voice just became so loud and obnoxious i was going to have to leave and so but you can't put them in i did i did she had no idea this woman was so fucking tapped out but i just very surreptitiously just was like look like almost like i was like kind of digging in my ear so i'm not enjoying it so i put in my um airpods and i listened to my girls chat because there are a bunch of recordings on there that i hadn't heard so i'm starting i'm trying to listen to sarah lena talk about leona rape and um and i i can't really hear it because they're so fucking loud and you know i'm at a concert and it's just like not the place to do it so i put

it back my headphones the earplugs back in. And then it hits to intermission. And there's this like older man sitting next to me. And Chris goes and talks to his friend. So I'm holding down the fort sitting there. And he goes, he taps me on the shoulder. And I thought he was going to recognize me because I'd gotten recognized a couple of times there. So I'm like, yeah, it's me.

No, I was just like, yeah. And he was like, did you really put in your headphones and listen to other music during that person's performance you could tell this guy was like because this everyone there was like kind of older i mean this is a band that was big in the 90s so everyone's older so i knew he was looking at me like a millennial who's like so like so rude at a concert to listen to someone else's and um i go no i just i don't like them they were bad and so i um they were not my style at all and so i put in my headphones because i wanted to listen to my voice memos from my friends and he goes oh and he goes do you like um the toadies

and i was like my boyfriend's a big fan he goes oh and i go and i mean i i listened to him today i'm excited to hear them and he was like yeah he goes yeah yeah i guess you're right they weren't like he was like i like the first couple sounds songs and then it was just like a wall of sound i was like i just couldn't anymore and he got on my side like he went from being like he you know you could tell us he was bitching about me the whole time to his wife and she was probably like don't say anything daniel please don't and then he did and you could just just tell he went from being like, I changed his whole narrative of me. What was that?

You found common ground. Yes. Just by talking. He agreed with me. And he, because I have every right to not enjoy a performer. And I'm in,

listen, I'm not in the front row. This is, we are in the balcony in the back seat. There was no one even behind me. So no one saw me do this besides this man sitting right next to me and I just didn't really care. And I know that's rude. I just didn't care for this in the balcony in the back seat there was no one even behind me so no one saw me do this besides this man sitting right next to me and i just didn't really care and i know that's rude i just

didn't care for this band and it was too loud and so anyway afterwards we went to chris's and i woke up this morning and i did not um wash my face and man i think most people don't like do you not wash i wash my face night and morning no matter what. And it's just weird that both of us today did not wash our faces. Yeah. It just depends how oily I am when I wake up, to be honest. I was a little dry. Did you not bring cleanser to Chris's?

We use the same cleanser. So I could have just grabbed his and used it. But I was like, I just need Starbucks and I need to get the fuck out of here. And I had really bad dreams about just yeah i just was like and he was at radio so and i just kept being something about being in a house i felt like i could be murdered because it's so big like there's like it's just like home invasions are so much more like in an apartment complex i feel safe because there's like a bunch of people around there's choices it's like a buffet. In a house?

I don't think I ever want to live in a house. I think I'll be too scared because no one can hear you scream. I mean, some of these houses by where we live, it seems way too open. You're on a main road. I'd freak the fuck out. I'd look out my window every day and be like, oh, I don't know. Well, that's what they did. The McCloskeys live right next to us.

The ones, the gun-toting McCloskeys's the ones that came out during the black lives matter parade that's the that's how you would be in your house anyway i'd have a great or no i mean we got to go to break we'll come back with more show right after this 2025 is bound to be a fascinating year it's going to be filled with money challenges and opportunities.

Well, not where Noah lives. Noah, it's going to be hot forever. It's so nice here. I can't even shut up about it. Really? It's just perfect weather. It's perfect weather. Because you guys probably had such a hot summer.

Tuxen. Yeah. But it's fine. She's like, it's only 104 today. Like only three dogs died in the sun today it's so perfect i love it i cooked my breakfast inside today not on the sidewalk i saw a cactus shivering it was so fucking cold that's so cute cactus is shivering like just it taking its big arms and then just crossing them and going like but it's still so

glad i know and they have like all those spikes like i feel bad for like that or like a they're almost like really muscular men like they can never hug themselves yeah it's never comfortable each spike is like their dad telling them they're not worth it poor cacti you know porcupine and cactus should hang out more often oh my god the other. The other night, can I just say, Chris and I were, I forget what we were doing, and he thanked me for something, and I go, anytime, porcupine. And he was, he laughed so, it was like a sustained laugh for like a minute, and he was like, don't ever say that again. So now I just send him, I send him memes all the time that just say anytime, and then a

picture of a porcupine after it. It has a nice ring to it. Anytime porcupine. Oh, I love it. It's so cute. Oh, I could see Dolly Parton doing that, being like, anytime porcupine. I know. It would be my catchphrase if I was a wholesome figure.

See you later, alligator. Yeah, it totally is. Anytime porcupine. You guys take it and run with it. You don't even have to give me credit. I'm sure I'm not the first person to say it. I'm probably the third. All right.

What's the news, Noah? Okay. So a study finds that people prefer that an opposite sex friend be more ambitious, intelligent, attractive, and of higher social status than a same-sex friend. Yeah. You know why I thought about this? Okay. a same-sex friend yeah you know why i thought about this okay i think it's because because why would i want a man that i'm friends with to be more attractive smarter more successful

than a woman i hang out with and it's because i think possibly and i don't i think i read the study and they did not say why they think this is. Or did they, Noah? Because usually they give a reason why this could be. And here's my no degree theory. My English degree, but I got it through SparkNotes theory. Yeah. When I go out with a male friend, people, society, will assume that that is my lover and so under the assumption that other people have of my opposite sex friend it's going to reflect on me if they think i'm copulating with this person i need them even if they're not to appear successful handsome and smart whereas with girlfriends

people don't assume you guys are banging it's's weird. Even with same sex, at least back in the day, I used to only want hot friends. Probably because I just wanted to feel associated with other hot people. I don't know why. That's so weird. I know. As for a man. I know. Wow.

Yeah. In college, I was just like, if you were not attractive, I'd be your friend, but my close guy friends are all very hot. But then you're the not attractive, I wasn't. I'd be your friend, but we wouldn't. Like my close guy friends are all very hot. But then you're the least attractive person. I know. That was that backfire. Did you ever feel that way? Like when you're with your friends, did you ever feel like?

I couldn't be around April Macy. We went to Korea once to perform for the troops. Yeah. Which one? I'm not going to tell you, south or north, but I think you can guess. Middle? Yeah. We went on the dmz line uh tmz line um harvey levin was there so uh but i felt invisible like i didn't even want attention from men back then really but it was like i i didn't exist i was with ginger gonzaga who plays who's she's on she hulk

now she plays the character nikki and she's she hulk and april macy and it was like i did not exist yeah and it was it was awful and there are also times where i'm like with saralina and you know i have a complex about this from my sister growing up of being like so pretty and everyone having to talk about it but man there were times that I would have like crushes on guys. I think I've even told you this, like at the cellar and I would, Sarah Lena would drop by

and I'd be like, guys, I think I like this guy. And he'd be like hanging out and then Sarah Lena would drop by and we'd all be having fun. And then Sarah Lena would go to the bathroom and the guy would go, oh my God,

she is so beautiful. I can't even be around her. Nikki, I can't even like look at her. It's insane. And I just go, well, this is over. Whether or not you... It's a good test, right? Get you out of it pretty quick. Well, the thing is, they should be allowed to

say a woman is extremely attractive and not have it mean that they don't want to be with me. I definitely think that Chris and probably anyone I date might love the way I look but can admit that there are women that are more sexually appetizing.

Yeah, and there's a lot to it where they don't think they can, they're either too close to you or they don't think they can get you to begin with. Oh, I hate when I hear it. But she's a different, it's a different league, Nikki. She's like an alien.

Oh, I wasn't thinking that. I'm just saying that they think you're boys, like you're boys like you're boys like hey well that's what it used to be with these guys i would like be like wait are we gonna take this friendship to the next level like it wasn't even a you know it would be like a casual thing and then i'd be like i it was so triggering for when guys used to always be obsessed with my sister but i was just like well then it'd be funny if you're not even looking at me that way like i would love to be a girl who gets up from a table and guys are like oh my god if anything they're like she had like so much salad in her teeth

it's so hard to go yeah saralina is beautiful but um i want to fuck you so what do you think about like you can't do that yeah they would be horrified that they passed up because they would yeah you know like they had no idea they had a chance with me that they had no idea they fucking blew it in that moment like if you like if you're around don't let me just say don't ever say a girl is so attractive around another girl don't do you want to maybe bang that girl we don't want to hear it it's rude yes because we all make you saying we all value our looks whether or not you've accepted whether or not someone's a model and like you think, well, clearly my friend isn't going to get jealous of me complimenting a model. She's a model.

We all know she's prettier than all of us. It's still rude. It's happened plenty of times though, other way around, where if I brought around a hot man, you would tell me if the guy. Yeah, be your guy. Handle it. No, no, no. No, it is.

But it is kind of that because guess what? For men, it's like like i'm a little bit more sensitive to it now because i realize you guys are a lot more sensitive than i thought because you don't really talk about how sensitive you are so we don't really know that's the thing like you guys get so upset about things but you don't ever express it what guys do like so i had two friends aaron and glenn and they'd go out they'd wear like theory button down shirts and they'd have like one have highlights. They're both six, one, six, two. And I'd go out and I'm not an ugly guy, but compared to them, it was just like automatically

the eyeline of the like hotter, taller girl, it would go towards them. Then I would just, instead of like dealing with it or whatever, I just get as drunk as possible. But you also didn't want anyone. In a way you were asexual andrew i was asexual but i think part of that of feeling defeated before like led to that like i didn't even want to compete i didn't even want to get the idea of rejection right so i just get as fucked up as possible right and then you know have sex with a lamppost and even the lamppost he's taller yeah i'm like fuck you lamppost i'm gonna go fucking cactus you had to stand on like

a newspaper dispenser to even get in the hole and they're like glenn wouldn't have to do that it was all in black and white in the rain for some reason it's so sad no but yeah i think like guys that's how guys deal with these things they just get fucked up well that's what i used to do too is just get fucked up and like also just you know i go to like i'll just kill myself like what's the point of being alive if no one's gonna want to fuck if everyone wants to be with beautiful women like and i can't be that what why do i even want to exist it's the only thing and i still have a little bit of that in me it's so weird yeah but it's um i was thinking about this whole like i i feel like you know chris has chris went to lunch with a girl recently that was in town and like hit him up and i'm like who's

that that you're texting i like saw a girl's name and he's like oh it's my friend from whenever ago and i'm like i feel like there's just a sense of like is there either she likes it there's but there was no sense he was just like oh she's an old friend and um and maybe they had a history together i don't want to disclose that yes or no but there was a reason most women i have to say would get very jealous and i'm not saying i'm like maybe i'm wrong i think that most women i know would not be totally fine with their boyfriend going to lunch with a girl that they've never heard about in the nine years we've been dating yeah i have a question yeah does it it being an old because i feel like an old friend is like somehow more palatable than a new girlfriend

like oh i met this girl three days ago we're going to lunch like if there's history there you're more okay with it yeah well that's the other thing is like it sucks that friends of opposite sex it would be like well then bring me too and it's like well i don't want to bring you to everything that i do in my life and let's say i meet a new friend that's a girl and she's like i want to bring my boyfriend if i were to say can you not bring your husband or your boyfriend it wouldn't mean i want to fuck her yet when a girl wants to hang out with a guy and says can you not bring your girlfriend somehow that means i want to fuck you yeah and so the girl like a girlfriend will take that as oh you want to be alone with him it's like yeah because i like to be alone with my friends when other people get added on later on i like to still be with that like i'd like to be alone with my friends when other people get added on later on. I like to still be with them.

I like to hang out with Kirsten and her husband, but I prefer Kirsten without her husband 500% more. Sorry, Corey. Sorry. Because it adds, it doesn't, it just creates a new- Changes the dynamic. The conversation's different. But if you think about it,

if you have friends that are of the opposite sex, if you want to hang out with them alone, and you go, hey, can we just hang out alone and not with then it's like oh you clearly want to fuck him and it's like no i just don't want the partner because things change when there's a partner there but it changes everything but i was going to say is that i i was like a little bit like okay you're gonna go hang out with this girl that i've never even heard of. And you've known her longer. Like, you know, she's an old, she's a sister friend of a old,

she's a sister of a friend that, you know, they went through stuff together. And so it was just like, okay, if she's hotter, are you more upset? Not upset.

He told me that there was no vibe with them and I trust him. And even if they're, I mean, that made me want him to see her less. I wish there was a vibe. Brenna had a dream that I cheated on her. Yeah. And even if they're, I mean, that made me want him to see her less. I wish there was a vibe. Brenna had a dream that I cheated on her. Yeah. And,

but the girl wasn't as attractive as her. So she wasn't as upset. And I was like, that's an interesting way to look at it. Because part of me would be like, I would want, if she cheated on me to be more attractive, because then it's like,

well, then higher value. Yeah. Like I give, I put her on a pedestal. me to be more attractive because then it's like well oh i understand higher value yeah like i give i put her on a pedestal now with someone that i don't think is as attractive gets you then i feel like well i would go what's wrong with my personality like you went for someone less attractive then that means that they probably have some kind of winning spark about them that is or maybe i'm thinking i'm more attractive than i am. I would want Chris to be with someone more attractive than me.

So that it's like, that's a reason to go because I can't offer you that. Ah, interesting. You know, like I can't offer you that waist you want to grow, whatever it is. Whereas if it was like,

I just want to be with this girl that's like, doesn't have the things that I know he likes in a body and I'm like, why are you with her? Then it means that there's something else there,

which is so much more devastating because we lose everything else and we also lose that eventually because your mind goes. So I didn't let him go, but he went to this lunch. You let him off the leash? And it was so awesome

because after the lunch, he, like, I knew he had gone to lunch this day. I was kind of thinking about it a lot. And even though I just was, like, worried that I just, I just was like worried that this girl, I just have a fear that like, even though I trust him and I, and I, even if she did do this,

which she didn't do, but even if she did try to go after him and like sabotage our relationship and like just plant seeds of like, well, I heard Nikki say this on a podcast or like just shitty things that I know she could say to get him to maybe be in a fight or like be upset with me i was just like i was just thinking about it like i just don't want her to try to come after my guy and she definitely did not that was not their vibe but afterwards he was able to hang out with someone a friend who was able to talk to him about emotions because

that's what women do women ask what's going on in your life. They don't just talk about what new bike gear you got. They don't just talk about what sports thing is going on. Men need women friends. Encourage your man if you trust him to have female friends because he is going to share things emotionally with that woman because women naturally are more emotional that he will not share with you because you're his girlfriend. And it's just you don't even want those emotions.

You don't want that mixed up in your romance, because it's gonna, it's not, you don't want your guy to cry to you, and to, so he, you know, you want that,

but like a lot of that is a boner killer, in a relationship. The man feels really like soft afterwards, if he cries to his girlfriend, and the girlfriend kind of feels like, oh now I, he's not as mad, like there's a lot of

weird stuff going on encourage your guy friends to have girlfriends because my guy came back to me and was like we just talked about a friend that we lost like a mutual friend that you know we both like had a fall like a you know died and not falling out died and like we both got to like talk about our feelings about that and i just got to share some feelings around this other thing that I haven't been able to talk to anyone about because she kind of related to it because we know the same people. And he was like a totally like chilled out. This is what Esther Perel talks about in Mating in Captivity. Really?

Your partner can't be everything for you. So you have to have other social circles and friends and stuff. But it needs to go beyond men because going to Hooters to watch, you know, MMA is not going to get your man to talk about his feelings. So men need female friends. So I'm encouraging Chris.

I'm like, go. I mean, I don't care if he has female friends. I want him to have more because he comes back to me a more relaxed chilled out emotionally vulnerable person that he because he got things i didn't say it to him at the time but i'm listening this being like that's because you hung out with a woman like he's like it was so good yeah because i talked about like my feelings about this thing like i suffered this like loss that i don't think i really ever talked to anyone about and i was like oh it's because it's a woman you talk to a fucking woman it's almost like you had

an orgasm emotionally yeah it's like now i could just relax with the person i love talk to those about that stuff with me do you i feel like there are women out there or men that are like oh you went to this person about this but you wouldn't come to me and they would get jealous of them to go to you with this, is what I'm saying. I know, because he said it was a boner killer. But I get what you're saying. It's a boner killer for the man and the woman.

Whenever there is an emotional release between us, which I'm always super horny for, he does not feel frisky right after that if he's like just like cried about you know like voted in a in a way that seems like a little bit more feminine energy he is not wanting to like throw me up against the wall and ravage me it's like it takes a little bit so i think it's a please come home friskier he just um it did what it what it did was it did it made us closer it made me feel so much more relaxed around him because i could feel that there was like he needed to talk to someone about about this thing that might have been permeating his personality for months dude so many times

i've talked to you over the years where it's like i thought i had a perspective of like what the girl was thinking or what, you know, how, and it's just completely changed or I thought of it in a different way that helped me tremendously because you're the opposite sex because you can put yourself in their heels. Well, not even, not even like women's stuff,

just like any life stuff. Like, yeah, but I do, I do get where you're saying where the woman would be like, well, why can you talk to her about those things? But you really,

you want your man. You want, I want my partner to be able to have, to keep his own counsel, to be able to share things with someone that he doesn't share with me. Like yesterday went over to Chris's house and he had an alarm clock. That is one of those ones that lights up slowly to wake you up. Yeah.

And I go, when did you get that? And he's like, I don't know and i go and we always my new thing is to go how much research did you do on that because he's like the other day he had a yoga mat and he's like i've done i did 10 hours of research before i found this like he finds the best of everything and he's he's he wastes so much time researching stuff that he uses less time than he does it yeah but i go who is this guy that has a light up alarm clock like that is a specific person i was like does it make sound or it's just no it just like

lights up so that you wake up almost like with the world yeah like it's almost like i had it this morning because my my um sleep mask fell out off during the night and then he woke up for radio at five in the morning and i woke up to this like light coming on just like and it was like calming i like woke up and i was like hey babe are you getting ready for like i was just like kind of like waking up in like a campsite like i was just kind of like oh i'm gonna go to the stream and wash my face like it was just a gentler wake up so he's on to something but i felt like who are you i was like i don't know this guy this is something i feel like you would have been talking to me about like i'm gonna buy an alarm clock it's gonna be this light up one it just

felt like oh there's facets to this man that are not my business that he has kept to himself there was something else the other night where i was like when did you start doing that like you picked up that light fixture like when did you do that you're a guy who picks out light fixtures and why did you like it flush? What are you talking about flush with the wall? I don't even know what these words are.

It was like, I love when I uncover things about my boyfriend and there's a part of me that goes, why didn't you tell me about this? Why didn't you tell me that you have been training for this thing?

That's kind of where I was coming from with that. But it's like, I have so much shit that I keep secret. Not secret, but that is just like, it's yours.

It's mine or it's something that I share with one of my friends. And he doesn't give a fuck. It doesn't really... He doesn't need to know. It's not going to make our relationship better. So I think that this idea that you're saying about Esther Perel, myth. Your partner needs to be everything.

They don't need to be everything. We should want our partners to be multifaceted and to have their own lives and be able to. I would totally be fine with Chris going to dinner with another woman he met who's just like, I don't know. And, yeah, you can come along sometime. But to be like, I don't even need to go. Go hang out with your friend. My dad the other night, I was talking to my parents about this. And my dad was like, yeah, like your mom won't let me be friends with this girl I just met down the street.

I met down the street. You're not being friends not being friends with her he's like she's into archaeology she's in anthropology she's into like the same things my dad is into she's like an older woman my dad would never cheat he has never cheated and they've been together 40 years now like but she's still jealous my mom gets jealous when she hears about when my dad will talk about his um middle school girlfriend bringing him flowers when he fell off a building and she's like oh gotta hear this again oh talking about sally there is something mommy i think like with guys i think in a relationship especially if you're living together and you do get a lot of time together yes to then go

at least for a man i'm like i want to just go play golf with another guy i don't want to talk about emotion and that's why i think guys lean into going to hooters and like i don't even want to fucking think about my dead uncle at all i just want to fucking talk about maximum magazine or whatever the fuck but i feel like men create there are things that you can talk to for girl. For sure. Women that you're not banging. For sure. About more so than women you are banging. And it's just. I agree with that.

I'm just saying like to find the time to also then have like, but like what I was saying is like a new friendship with a girl is when you're in a relationship, like your mom with this archeologist. But it shouldn't be is what I'm saying. It's tough. Women need to snap out of this. And like either you trust your man or not. But women, men are, we need men to have women friends.

Because men are suffering emotionally. They don't talk to each other about their feelings. They can't talk to their partner about their feelings because their partner is either a jealous bitch, clearly, or it's going to be a boner killer and they're just not comfortable with it. A woman they're not fucking and have no intention of fucking

is a perfect outlet for them to have their emotional needs met in that way that is going to actually make your relationship better. I'm just trying to think how does a guy organically meet a new woman? Maybe at work. It's never going to happen because it just doesn't happen

but I think things need to change. Just like the Me Too movement changed everything. Like it just, well, how do you meet a guy friend on the golf course? I don't know. No, no, I know. I'm just thinking like, how can it happen organically? Through comedy. I don't know.

Like how do you, you had tons of girlfriends before you had a girlfriend. Maybe there's like an app where it's just like, hey. But how did you meet girlfriends before you had a girlfriend? Through comedy. No, I get it. I get that it's possible. That's how you would meet it. I get how it's possible.

I'm just saying like, but for comedy, I feel like it's also easier. Like we're in a social kind of, if you met someone at work and you're going to lunch with her and not telling your wife. But tell her.

Yeah. That's the thing. Tell her. Yeah, that's the thing. Like you would a guy friend i just saw a video on tiktok of a woman showing up and the guy was cheating and it is the most awkward thing oh that old cheater show i mean it goes both ways i don't i i will not be with a man who will not let me have my male friendships independently where i can go to dinner with a

male friend and it not be like even if that male friend he suspects wants to fuck me he knows that like in order for that male friend to fuck me i have to allow him to fuck me unless he's a rapist which might don't hang out with rapists it'd be weirder if you were like he needs to trust me yeah if if you if he wasn't a comedy guy if it's like no i met this guy dave he works in finance he's fucking gorgeous he has like a little stubble on his beard and we're just like talking about emotions well yeah but like it has to be something organic though for me to like no i'm just saying like right for it to be palatable i think everyone just needs to relax yeah i think it's just we're

all so jealous yeah we're all jealous we're all so jealous. Yeah. We're all jealous. We're all worried. All right. We're going to go to break and we'll come back with a couple.

What if you asked two different people the same set of questions? Even if the questions are the same, our experiences can lead us to drastically different answers. I'm Minnie Driver, and I set out to explore this idea in my podcast, Minnie Questions. Over the years, we've had some incredible guests people like Courtney Cox star of the infinitely beloved sitcom friends EGOT winner Viola Davis and former prime minister of the UK Tony Blair and now mini questions is

returning for another season we've asked an entirely new set of guests our seven questions, including Jane Lynch, Delaney Rowe, and Cord Jefferson. Each episode is a new person's story with new lessons, new memories,

and new connections to show us how we're both similar and unique. Listen to Mini Questions on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Seven questions, limitless answers. We're back. One more news story, Noah. Okay. A woman has confessed to stabbing her younger

sister in the heart multiple times after learning that the sister was flirting with the other woman's long long distance boyfriend through a video game and the reason i i picked this article was like a very long way of asking if you and lauren ever or andrew you and your brothers ever like the same woman or you and lauren like the same i gotta just wonder like if you were to stab me in the heart right now where would you stab I know where because of I've been stabbed and I thought it was my heart I don't oh that's true so I know from experience I know where from right here well I used to think because of the Pledge of Allegiance it was over my left tit that's where I got stabbed

but it's right in the middle it's here it's well it is left it's kind of a little yeah it's lower didn't you think it's more center than Pledge allegiance yes yeah i pledge allegiance should be right down the middle but if you're stabbing five times you're gonna hit it you're good if you're in that region yeah i mean i would hope so so this girl in the middle of the night stabs her sister and then she was gonna kill yeah the sister died and she didn't turn herself in until the next night and she was gonna take her own life but then her sibling talked her out of it. Because that sibling was like, I'm not losing two sisters in a night. Even though, I mean, what goes through someone's mind?

She ordered these knives on Amazon, by the way. She ordered daggers on Amazon. So wait, they found out, she found out they were not even cheating, just flirting over a video game. She found a conversation through this video game chat where the boyfriend said, I love you to the sister. And the boyfriend was probably catfishing. He's probably like a six-year-old woman in like Savannah. You know what I mean? Like this is all about like-

No, yeah, yeah, no. It could all be nothing. But this woman, they're going to say that she's not insane because there was pre-planning. There was an Amazon purchase. There was like, oh, she got Prime. She picked a time to... Yeah, I don't understand this whole premeditated

versus whatever. Because people think that if you're insane... You're still crazy. You could be crazy for months. You can be crazy for so long. For your whole life. So it doesn't matter if someone had premeditated. Yeah, I don't like that.

That doesn't make sense either because it goes back to the Sam Harris thing. No matter what you do, it's something happening in your brain that you're not in control of. So this whole idea of like, we are. Anything you do is not really your fault. It's your brain and the situation you were born in.

No one chooses anything. And if you still don't believe me, read free will. Temporary insanity, whatever. I've never been a fan. Like, anytime I hear that, I go, how is that insane? But they're going to say this girl is not insane because she ordered on Amazon.

She, like, went and read, you know, reviews. She did 10 hours of research. She was like, Pierce 3. Yeah, she did 10 hours of research. Her sister should have set that alarm clock for a little bit earlier. So she stabs her five times in the heart.

Her sister bleeds out and dies. And then she just lives? She just keeps going? Did she hide the body? I think she was freaking out. I mean, she was going to kill it. No, she just left it there. She was going to kill herself.

And then her brother or sister, I forget who, talked her out of killing herself which if you I don't I feel like with the proliferation

of murder podcasts and you know Dahmer and all these shows like murder shows don't teens know I mean she's 20 don't people know

you're gonna go to jail forever I think that's that's the insanity part is it worth it? You don't think about it. Exactly. So that means this person's insane

because anyone who kills someone- Blind rage. Yeah, but she ordered it on Amazon. So the blind rage- But here's the thing. I don't believe blind rage can be sustained over two to three business days. This is a great commercial for Amazon.

They go, do you want to still plead temporary insanity? We're going to get you those knives within an hour. Yes. So you can still claim. Have you ever ordered something on Amazon and had it shown up within an hour? It's been there before I even ordered it. They just anticipated.

They killed my boyfriend. You can actually probably order that. Get rid of the middleman. Yeah. These knives come with your boyfriend's heart. Amazon is so wild that she researched daggers. Daggers. No one's ordering a dagger, by the way, unless they plan on killing their brother or sister.

Yeah. Like a dagger that comes with death. I wonder if the dagger company is going to find out about that this person used. I would love to know like if that if she left a review i mean you know i it what did she do with the body after did she just let it sit there and then she turned i guess she did it in the middle of the night i wonder if she and then she didn't she didn't call the cops until 7 30 p.m the next night so she probably was just all day like i gotta kill myself and but just couldn't do it. Here's the thing. This guy. Couldn't find her own heart.

New to sister. Right? They had prior conversations. And she's still like, jealous rage. I'm going to fucking murder you. To answer your question, yeah. Lauren and I definitely. I mean, that was my biggest thing in life was like, every guy I liked would be like,

your sister is so hot. And like, it was just but um yeah i mean i don't like the guy yeah i mean there was you know there was a guy in college she was a freshman i was a junior and he was in my grade we had gone to high school together and she had a you know she um dated him and he was a guy that i liked all my freshman year all my sophomore year and then junior year my sister shows up did you ever confide that in her before no i don't really know that she knew i don't i don't know that she knew but i remember when i found out that they got together i called my dad and i was on my carpet in my dorm room maybe she was visiting

because i was in my dorm room my sophomore year so maybe she was a still a senior googling back then you had to go to sword by yourself yeah i was on that drive to home depot you're like maybe i should i was just waiting for a cutco salesman to show up at my door perfect timing yeah um i called my dad and i remember like knowing it was inappropriate to call my dad about this but just i was drunk and just so upset and i was just like she's so much prettier in the sky than i like they just hooked up and it was just like my dad's just like what like didn't know what to do with it and i remember at the time you know when you're in the middle of a tantrum and you're like this is not a good look and we're never gonna talk about this again after i hang up the phone it was one of those why do you call your mom i'm just wondering why do you think yeah

i'm guessing she was incapacitated at the time it was i remember it was like if i was drunk she was probably it was like a friday night it would have just been two girls just being like yeah no yeah i don't think i would have my mom would have gone oh give me a break this is ridiculous you nicky you don't want someone who doesn't want you you know all that bullshit that you're just like yeah that doesn't really help yeah it doesn't help nicky save your sex you don't want to be easy for these guys you need to hold out do not you're giving this guy too much. So what happened? Did you have a conversation with Lauren or did you have a conversation

with the guy? No, I just let it go. And then eventually, you know, they fizzled out. But it was hard. Yeah, I never had that. How close are you with your age gap? Two years, right? 18 months. See, that's so close. Like, you're bound to cross some

swords or whatever you call them daggers swords uh anyways but yeah i uh yeah my older brother he's almost three years so we didn't really there was a little bit of like you know when he was a senior i was a freshman in college so there were girls that would like him that i would maybe but nothing that i like never competitive never competitive. Never competitive with that stuff. And then my little brother's six years younger. So that would have been illegal for a while.

Yeah, luckily my sister and I never really went for the same type of guy. And I feel like most of my friends, it's that way as well. Like we all like a different type, even though my two best friends, Hala and Taylor, who you heard on the podcast this week holla ended up marrying taylor's high school boyfriend so interesting but that happened years

later so it's so funny because taylor and i were going through our old yearbooks and taylor saw this like when she taylor was a senior when we were juniors and she left like a message to all of us being like nikki k you know like going to walgreens dressed up like all the fun memories and like kirsten remember remember when we slept in that car that one time and then she wrote johnny cakes which is holla's now husband she's like johnny cakes i will love you forever it's just like so funny to weird read this like emotional thing and she put it on the girls chat and like holla who's married to this guy is reading about her you know one of her best friends talking about like i love you forever does that feel like a win you think do you think women or guy i don't know i

i just think about uh if a good guy friend dated how long you'd have to be in between for me you know like it would it would be it'd be hard for me to still be i had a guy a fraternity brother date the girl that i dated in college for three years. But fraternity brother means nothing. No, this means blood. We suck each other's dicks, Nikki. It was an oath. It means cum in my ass.

But it's an elephant walk. It's not gay if it's fucking for the frat. Oh, my God. Yeah, that sucks. But it's like, I don't know. I wasn't that close with him. If you're going to pursue someone to fall in love with, nothing should stop you.

And the person should be okay with it. I have a friend right now who's dating someone and their ex-boyfriend is so upset that they are dating someone that they... Because it's a friend of this ex-boyfriend and he won that they are dating someone that they that they because it's a friend of this ex-boyfriend and he like won't even talk to her anymore they were friends for a while now he's still mad it's like is this how you want to get

the girl is by being a little bitch and being like I'm not going to be friends with you because you are good with my friend do you think that's going to work for her to go I I mean who knows but he's like so upset about it like i think that's weird like once you're done you should be able to date whoever you want yeah but i mean think about like you're dating chris huh yeah maybe the the guy just still has some feelings and he's entitled

yeah clearly but it's so interesting because it would never occur to me to respond that way. Like that's not gonna get her any sooner. Like the taxi, it's almost like stabbing his sister. It's like, where do you think this is gonna get you? You're just gonna go to jail. He's like, man, you do love me. Yeah. Wow, look at that.

I'll wait for you. Well, what were you gonna say about Chris? No, no, I'm just thinking about like... If we broke up and then one of my friends dated him? Yeah. I would say good, you know, because I'm not not with him anymore do you think you'd still be friends with that person yeah because i would hope to still be friends with chris like i would i i would hope i would incur if chris and i didn't work out seven years of proof of that andrew yeah huh because

nikki stayed friends with him yeah i mean i have seven years of proof that we would still be friends and then i would he didn't date any of your friends no he actually i think one time his friend wanted to set him up with a comic who we all know and he knows that i wasn't friends with her but he knew that she was a comic and he was like no because that would hurt mateo and chris yeah chris is very good about like even when we got, he didn't want to post stuff because he was just like mindful of his ex-girlfriends being sad. Yeah. For me, I wouldn't want to date a friend, best friend.

That's like drama that I don't... Relationships are hard enough. Women are like, I am so desperate for a fucking husband. I will take it wherever I can get it. I don't care if my sister plays video games with this guy and that she's going to stab me in my sleep. Let's just do it. All right, let's get to Fanthrax. Yikes.

Are you okay? Do you need to see Dr. Seychelles after doing that to your throat? Oh, boy. Ouch. That hurts my throat. Speaking of your throat oh boy ouch that hurts my throat who knows what's going on with my oh our first message is about just that here's um our first voicemail fanthrox from joanna hey nikki andrew and noah nikki this is for you i just had to let you know that the other night um was just about

to go to sleep my fiance and i were in bed lights out eyes closed and usually we don't have much conversation because he falls asleep within seconds i'm so jealous but he just randomly said to me he's like i wonder if nikki glazer's voice is going to be different once she heals from surgery and i just had to laugh because i think that was so adorable. That's so cute. That's what he was thinking about right before he fell asleep.

Oh my God. He's also a physician, so could be part of that. Like he's genuinely curious because he's not a bestie. I do occasionally make him listen to parts of the show that are like extra funny

and he is a fan of your comedy. Oh, cute. But just thought that was so cute and adorable and we wish you the best. Also, Nikki, you've been hilarious with the robot dictating one-liners. I just think it proves how genius you are with coming up with amazing responses,

even with mega delays. So good job. You've made me belly laugh more than once on the pod without your voice so looking forward to your return oh love you guys bye what was her name joanna um okay i just want to say thank you so much joanna um that is so nice Joanna and that's so cute that your boyfriend Chris is the same way he falls asleep instantly and it is there's something so adorable about the like the things that they say right before

they go to sleep or like something they mutter when you like wake them up accidentally and I am so tickled to be a part of that kind of conversation and I got so many messages I mean so many messages, I mean, so many from people saying that my voice sounds like it went from like 1080 to 4K. Or one person said my boyfriend used to hate your voice

because it was so squeaky or my girlfriend didn't like your voice because it was so squeaky, but now she really can listen to you. then that's weird i'll take it you know what if if i went back to squeaky then i might be but i'm not going back baby so yeah let's leave that bitch in the dust um yeah everyone kind of has people who are sending me like um my one friend amy sent me she listens to the pod she was like the first time she heard my voice was on the pod and she sent me a thing that was like I guess

kind of a meme but it was one of those couch D what are the like things called on couch that makes it all like rough and like have little balls of it you know like where and then you rub a thing over and it takes those

balls away so it makes your couch look fresh again so that's what she's saying one of those things yeah where it was like this couch what was it was it microfiber like oh let me just pull it up hold on it was it was a perfect i was like really impressed with the example she um yeah oh it says refresh your fabrics remove lint fuzz and pills from old fabrics to make your items look new again and it's like this thing that you rub over your couch or whatever and um she was like your voice went from like and it looked like a couch that had like a bunch of scratch to like a smooth and i was like oh that's so nice with plastic on top of it yeah that your grandma doesn't let you sit on it um what a stale room i think about friends that had that oh those rooms were so oh god and

they had like a precious moments figurine like a little gazebo in the corner kind of ocd was that that is just women are dealing with so many struggles it is a miracle any of us ended up okay because of the you know our parent generation was kind of fucked but the one before that no one got any emotional support. They were like, spare the rod, spoil the child. Our parents were fucked, you guys. Their parents were, once in a while, maybe there was a breakthrough case of some compassion and actually caring about kids. But just cut your parents some slack, because they were raised by literally the coldest people.

Yeah, their parents weren't hitting them. Their teachers were hitting them. Yeah. Everyone was hitting you. Yeah. And that's how you got hard. That's how you got tough. No compassion.

No like, oh, are you okay? They're all cactuses. Just ah. And this whole thing of like, oh, these kids are pussies now because all that. It's like, good. Man, I overheard these two teenage girls yesterday

that were talking about Taylor Swift. So I really wanted in on the conversation. So I was already like eavesdropping in Starbucks and they were talking about the new Midnight's album and I was like, I had my laptop open and it has all these Taylor Swift stickers. So I was like, girls, I'm with you. I'm so excited.

And they were like, we don't care, old lady. You're weird. They looked at me like I was like a plastic bag lady. Like just so weird. And then, but I heard them talking and I was like a plastic bag like just so weird and then um but i heard them talking and i was like oh my god like there was they were talking about another girl that they go to school with and they're like yeah she's a lot and yeah she can be really tough sometimes but i think she's just been through has a lot of trauma in her life and it was just like she

probably grew up in like a really traumatic household and i don't know what's going on at home so i just like i don't like to judge and i was just like who are these teenagers talking about trauma and like they're like i just really need to lean into self-care recently because i've just felt like i've been really stressed there so as soft as these teenagers are and woke and we roll our eyes there's something very cool about teens that like are taking care of themselves have compassion for others have empathy for others and i felt it from these girls i was like so proud of these girls that i mean kirsten and taylor and i would be like cyber bully not cyber bullying but like bullying them in like notes where we draw pictures of them and compare them to animals

they looked like not knowing we were really bullying them we were just being funny like she looks like we called one girl alone in missouri just because she looks she just looked yeah but that's and it's not like we called her that to her face just in notes but like that's how we processed people that were different than us and these girls are like oh she's probably been through a lot and has a lot of trauma and i'm like oh man to get to that place yeah i think there's obviously somewhere in the middle there of like you want jokes to still happen. You don't want everyone to be like, but they're too sensitive.

No, these girls were giggling up a storm. You gotta have to like, yeah. But to use the word trauma, I was just like, I think I only heard that word on like ER when I was in 1998. I never heard that word growing up. Or anxiety, I never heard until. I still can't say it right. But people get mad.

They're like, everyone says they have anxiety now. Everyone has anxiety. Because we all have it. Because you do. Yeah. And it's okay to say it now. Yeah. Thank God.

Because before that, you just have panic attacks eventually and want to fucking think you're going to blow up. I'm still unaware of what anxiety looks like for me. Because I just know that it manifests in different people in different ways. And I just don't have that where it's like, I can be anxious about something specifically, but I just never am anxious for where I can't pinpoint it.

You're overthinking stuff. Like whenever you're like, I don't know. Or if you're picking your nails, like you pick your- But it's usually about something. Like I know people that can get panic attacks where they're like, it just came on. I don't know what it's about and it's usually subconscious but that doesn't happen to me i don't feel got you like so you can't like put a pin on it yeah but if i i've been anxious before where i'm like i have so much to do i have to pack i'm

not ready like that makes sense okay this anxiety that's anxiety that's why but i know a lot of people that get generalized anxiety where they just start's why but i know a lot of people that get generalized anxiety where they just start like they're you know you've had it before where you're like you feel like you're dying and you there's nothing that caught because if it was something that caused it like someone went up to you and was like hey uh or what caused it isn't a thing that caught what caused it was the million things before yes and then a little thing sets it off yeah i thought i was choking like right on lint right so if you go okay it was that it was me choking no it was me having a pinch in my neck

today and it's something there's something right here it's telling me something what do you think it's just like it's just there's something i'm not expressing emotionally i slept on my boyfriend's pillow and i'm not used to it yeah Yeah. Something crazy. It means my boyfriend researches yoga mats for 10 hours and I gotta accept that about him if I'm going to spend the rest of my life with him. You know how quick I've bought a yoga mat

off of Amazon? It's literally I've bought things. Oh my god, babe. 10 hours? But you know what? That's what he likes to do. Yeah. Whereas I like to spend 10 hours combing Reddit, which he likes to do as well.

But I just can't judge. I just have to go, okay. You know what? You like purchasing things that you know you've put in the work to get. And although I think that is a heinous waste of time, especially on something that you don't even use for 10 hours, that is something you enjoy. No, I'm trying to think of anything I've researched.

Even expensive things I've bought have been, I can't tell you. All my purchases are knee-jerk. That's why I have a Taylor Swift guitar worth $100 that has a taped-on sticker of her signature. That is why. Even when i had a lot of money when i have no money everything's knee-jerk whether it's buying a 30 sushi roll or a 40 000 car no none of it was thought yeah i i'm my whole life my whole life i mean i'm a little bit more

about food i like to like look at a menu and spend some time with it but and you're you're definitely on the knee jerk um you're mostly jerk side of things um let's go to final thought one more or two more fanthrox okay here's one from mckayla hi nikki andrew noah and chris this is mckayla calling from atlanta i'm calling to talk about the leaving the salon with wet hair. My mom is a hairdresser. And since my teenage years, throughout my adulthood, I've been getting my hair done by her. And she absolutely refuses to dry and style my hair. I mean, she just says it's a complete waste of time and won't do it for me. And she wishes that she had more clients that would opt out. So yes, I don't know

if we are hurting their feelings. If we're leaving the salon with wet hair, I think deep down, they may actually be relieved because it saves them time as well. So yeah, just a thought. Nikki, I hope your vocal cords are getting the rest they need. They may actually be relieved because it saves them time as well. So just a thought. How much more is it? Nikki, I hope your vocal cords are getting the rest they need. Thank you. And jack me off. Jack me off. Beautiful. Okay.

How much more is it? Sometimes they don't put a financial amount on it. They should, and they used to always. I would guess it's about 50 extra bucks if you're going to a nice salon to get a blowout right it's like what you would pay for a blowout and how long does that take it usually takes honestly when i blow dry my hair and i don't know what they're doing differently they're definitely doing it takes me about 11 to 15 minutes to blow dry my hair okay but for some reason when i get my hair done it takes 35 minutes when they blow dry my hair. Okay. But for some reason when I get my hair done, it takes 35 minutes

to blow dry it. When they do it. Because they take each strand individually and I mean, it looks a lot better than when I do it but it just,

it takes so long and when I know I have to go for a run later that day, I just go, no, let's not do this. But I have to say,

McKenna, I think that was her name. Michaela. Michaela. I get, I get the sense that they're disappointed every single time that I say that. There's a little bit like, are you sure you don't want it? If I was doing something, a business, and then the person was like, let's, for instance,

say, for me, it's a meet and greet, where they're like, you don't have to do a meet and greet. And I'm like, oh my God, really? I wouldn't double up and go, are you sure you don't want me to do the meet and greet? Are you sure you don't? I think the better analogy, though, would be if you were doing stand-up and they're like, wouldn't double up and go are you sure you don't want me to do the meet and greet are you sure you don't i think the better analogy though would be if you were doing stand-up and they're like don't do your closer like it's their closer like this is their finishing touch right like if you're an artist or like like your job perfect example yeah because it's like ta-da look what i did whereas i because usually it's a dye job and so and i'm not getting

a haircut if it's a haircut you definitely need to dry it to see what you're working with but if you're just getting your hair dyed and i get the same blonde every time and i've literally never once had my hair dyed and not liked it i am very easy to please i do not research it at all i will go to anyone i will i just go blonde i don't know and i look back at my photos i've been every kind of shade i've been noah's blonde which is like a very very light almost like you know know, a more, what do they call it? Ice. Icy blonde.

And then I've been like a golden blonde. Doodle. Yeah, I've been a golden doodle. They have better hair than me, actually. They probably get more blowouts than I do. I feel so bad for poodles, by the way. Why? Because they're mixed with everything and no one likes them alone.

Oh, I love poodles alone. Alone in the Missouri. But no one, everyone goes, yeah, it's like a poodle, but it's- Alone in Missouri Humane Society because no one wants you because you're not mixed with anything. Oh, I just went there again. Why? And it's sad.

Oh, no. What are you going to get? Oh, we got six pit bulls downstairs. Wait, why did you go? Just to look at cats. Brenna wanted to look at cats. Yeah. She wants mango to have.

Everyone writes us, oh, you got to get a second cat. Everyone's yelling at us to get a second cat. Yeah, what's the difference between two cats and one cat? Two. There's nothing. Cats are so low maintenance. Aren't they? I mean, you don't even have to say maintenance because they're so low.

They are low maintenance, but they're not. You still have to feed them. I don't know. I guess, yeah. Feed them You still have to feed them. I don't know. I guess, yeah. Feed them? You got to feed them. You got to clean their litter box. You have to.

But it's just all in the same place. Yes. I feel like the jump from zero dogs to one dog is major. The jump from one dog to two dogs, not so much. Okay. Third dog, crazy. But cats, you don't have to walk them. Let's talk about walking. Maybe I get a second cat. Yeah. Third dog, crazy. But cats, you don't have to walk them. Let's talk about walking.

Maybe I get a second cat. I don't know. Yeah. Easy peasy. So I went there and it's, God, the cats is fine. But then you go in the dog section. God, it's so sad. The only problem is apartments wanting to, if you have one cat, I think apartments go,

okay. Two cats. They're like, have you looked at apartments? That's the other thing I'd be worried about. Maybe move into someday. I'd be worried about that. Places are cat friendly. But anyhow, I don't even know what we're talking about.

Fanthrax. Oh, Fanthrax. Catthrax. Okay, I have to play this voicemail from Allie before we wrap up. Okay. Hi, Nikki, Noah, Andrew, and Chris. I have a story about someone at a concert becoming my worst enemy very quickly. So it was a bumble date and it was actually our first date. We went to drinks before and everything was like sexy and

funny and great. We get to the concert and he starts acting like out of his mind, like not on drugs that I know of. He's so hyped up up so like social with everyone around but to the point where it was annoying people and I'm just like a chill person like let's chill enjoy whatever um and he also kept bumping the claw clips that I was wearing on the back of my hair so I had to keep adjusting my hairstyle every time and he was like what is that in the back of your head because the claw clip stopped touching it so i got a little angsty and he was singing the words loud and wrong i didn't even know um this artist very well and i knew that what was coming out of his mouth were not the correct words

major ick i would though recommend going on a first date at a concert because you see so many different aspects of a person um and jojo jojo jack johnson jack johnson um seriously like better than a movie because a movie you gotta sit in silence you hear about these first dates where people just act insane and you go who could ever love this person and who raised this person i mean and kept messing with her clip in her hair like did he think it was flirty i feel like the guy had to be on drug i feel like it feels very drugsy yeah because it's a concert and the idea i'm so tired of people just talk to your date stop trying to show off by talking to other people and making it seem like look how much other people like me if you're one of these people you are you don't have good self-esteem and you need validation from others

focus on who you're with love the one you're with yeah first date love the one you're loud and obnoxious like who comes into a first date so confident where they're like i'm just gonna be the god i want to go on dates again just so i can witness some of this egregious behavior and just like what are you doing first dates are so annoying they're so weird because you don't know the person at all and they can have so many personality disorders oh my god and then you can't get out of it i'm too nice i i've never had a half a drink and been like this isn't it's always six hours later and i'm like all right well dude it was really nice you need to start introducing your baby as uh leon arape sounds like you're people pleasing oh for sure that's it my

mom the other day we were talking about my dad talking to strangers and how men love to talk to strangers and neighbors like whenever i go visit my sister at her house i cannot i hate they always meet me outside they're always playing in the front yard and then i have to talk to their neighbor who is standing there's all these men that just are walking up and down the street to avoid their lives and wives and so they walk up and down the street and then they make small talk with my sister and her husband how's the yard where going yes what do you guys what are you getting into this weekend? Oh, what did you do last night? I want to go, but the kids.

Yeah. Oh, did you get a new stroller? We can't get a sitter. You still got the old stroller? Is the wheel still broken? It's just the most benign, banane, banal conversation I've ever- It feels malignant to me. Yeah.

I'll tell you. And I told my sister the other day matt went outside and he was talking to some neighbor i go i'm not going out there i want to go play with the kids but i'm not going out there because i know that person like kind of knows who i am they get kind of nervous and they always have a baby that i have to act as cute in their little baby bjorn thing and i have to go oh what's her name even though i don't give a fuck and this is when i wasn't talking so i was like i don't want to like type out she's cute like it does i don't want to talk to your neighbors anymore i'm tired of having conversations like and i was telling my parents this and my mom goes

your dad is the same way he loves talking to strangers he loves it because i used to be like in high school i remember my dad be like let's go to schnooks go it's a grocery store he's like i'm gonna go to schnooks you want to come with me i'm like no i don't want to see anyone i know and he'd be like what is wrong with you you never want to see anyone you know you never want to talk to people i'm like what is wrong with you that you do you want to constantly have these small talk conversations and um what was i gonna say about this oh my mom was just saying your dad does the same thing and oh i go and she goes and i always have to stand there and talk to these people we'll be on a walk and your dad starts talking to someone and then i have to keep i have to stand there and listen this whole

goddamn conversation i go just keep walking i want to empower my mom to be more like just it's okay to go you know what i want to keep my heart rate up i'm going to keep walking i'm going to walk ahead let you guys finish this conversation like it's funny when guys talk to you it's like they're just oh sorry i didn't mean to cut you off no it's fine when they're like when they're like uh they just always are like showing off on like things they know like about the engine or the wood or the wet like everything my dad talked to other people he knows it is but just they're each talking about their own lives and never commenting on each other's lives have you ever had an uber driver who only wants to talk about himself but he acts curious about you so anything he'll ask to be like so what are

you guys in town for oh we're performing oh i used to perform i'm actually uh i used to do gigs i was a you know john lennon impersonator it's like then he starts pulling out his tapes you got to listen to him i mean it this is how men talk you know what everyone needs to work on is listening and asking a follow-up question that pertains to the person you just asked a question from. And stop asking questions of people if you aren't actually interested in that thing. That is why I do not talk to people that I'm not in. If I ask you how you're doing, it's because I literally care or because you just asked me and I have to just give it back.

But I'm not asking people just questions to just fill silence. I can be in an elevator from floor 12 to 1 and not say fucking anything to the person next to me. Can you do that? I'm okay at that. At times, I'll just go, like yesterday, this guy came in with a bike, and I have the same bike.

I'm like, I got that bike. Sometimes I'm in a chatty mood. He's like, this is four years old, though. I go, I got that bike. Sometimes I'm in a chatty mood. I'll say that. He's like, this is four years old, though. I go, yeah, it's different, because the suspension's different, and I don't know anything about suspension. I don't mind when people talk to me.

If you're someone who's a chatty person, like this bitch doesn't like to talk to me in the elevator, talk to me, but I am okay if we do not talk, is what I'm saying.
