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.
And now,
Minnie 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.

Seven questions, limitless answers.
We want to speak out and we want this to stop.
Wow, very powerful.
I'm Ellie Flynn, an investigative journalist,
and this is my journey deep into the adult entertainment industry.
I really wanted to be a player boy in my adult.
He was like, I'll take you to the top, I'll make you a star.
To expose an alleged predator and the rotten industry he works in.
It's honestly so much worse than I had anticipated.
We're an army in comparison to him.
From novel, listen to The Bunny Trap on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Emi Olea, host of the podcast
Crumbs. For years, I had to rely on other people to tell me my story. And what I heard wasn't good.
You really f***ed last night. It felt like I lived most of my life in a blackout. I was trapped in
addiction. You had to grab the lamp and smash it against the walls. And then I decided I wanted to tell my own story.

People, my people, what's up?
This is Questlove.

Here's Nikki. Hello. Here I am. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, that was once sat in by Andrew Collin. Noah is in Arizona. Let's ride out of the gate.
Let's just get to it.
Andrew is no longer on the show,
as you saw from his Instagram post,
I guess on what, Thursday?
And so it all went down on Wednesday.
We found out from him Wednesday morning,
Noah and I found out in a text
that he was not gonna be doing the show anymore.
And it was sudden for sure.
But you know, like everything's sudden.
I don't like when people go like,
this is the first time hearing of this.
And it's like, well, there's a first for everything.
So at some point you got to hear something
for the first time.
That's right.
So when people go, it was sudden.
It's like, well, everything's going to be,
everything, there's always like a pre-conversation that's going on before you get the news you're not always a part
of every conversation and so um this was something that i feel like noah you and i kind of maybe saw
coming just didn't know it was gonna happen so fast right um andrew definitely is you know
coming into his own as an artist and as a comedian and doing more things
like in his own name with his own name and it's it's hard to make a name for yourself on a show
that doesn't have your name on it and it's he's he kind of we would say outgrew the show and is on to
bigger and I hope literally hope better things for him and so that was kind of what
happened and there was a lot of things behind the scenes that I'm not going to get into that
led to this decision that you know are not anything like so juicy or sorted that I'm
hiding from you guys you know there's definitely things that um you know there's like there's maybe slight drama behind the scenes but
it's nothing that is like deserves your speculation or your you know um choosing a side or anything
like that it's um extraordinary really it isn't and i know you're like well then why don't you
tell us it's because well i can't tell you because there's things that are going on in andrew's life that i think led to this decision that is up to him to disclose um regarding his future and what
he wants to do with his life yeah and um and so yeah he's not on the show anymore and it sucks i
mean i totally feel your pain everyone who has expressed that. I got to say, I haven't really gotten into the comments on either the post that I posted
on our Instagram.
That was just thanking you guys for nice messages, not only about Andrew leaving, but including,
you know, just sympathetic messages, not nice, not like, go Nikki, no Andrew, nothing like
that.
Just like people being like, sorry for this went down or whatever
you said um I was just addressing that and also people I'm doing the podcast once a week now
so a lot of people wrote and were like do what you need to do girl like we are there for you so
I was just addressing that and then there's so many comments um flooded in on both that and I know Andrew's post. Right. And I looked at the comments just out of curiosity.
A lot of people are wondering if you and Andrew are going to remain friends
after this.
That's,
that's been a big question and I think it'd be good to answer.
Well,
from my perspective,
I feel like we,
and this happens a lot in professional relationships,
the friendship kind of deteriorates, especially since we haven't been in the same city. We haven't been on tour
together. We don't live together anymore. I mean, this podcast started when we were like living
together. And so our friendship wasn't as strong as it has been in the past already. And this,
you know, I think we're both like equally a little bit like bruised on each side.
But it doesn't take away from like the love that we have for each other.
So there's no like I am never going to talk to him again.
And like I look forward to a time when we can go back to the way it was and just be like best friends again.
But right now it's just not like we're like psyched to hang out together.
And we weren't even really hanging out together before,
aside from doing the show.
So it kind of is a natural extension of what was already,
nothing's really gonna change
except we're just not doing a podcast together.
I'll miss so much about him.
I will miss just his silly commentary,
his hilarious one-liners the way his brain thinks i'll
miss his wheezing laugh his i'll miss his laugh so much mom will you get a wheeze going on
no he's like snuffy smith laugh or something well you'll still hear it on the reddit dump uh when we
do reddit dump you'll still hear his laugh at the end there. People said today that we took that out.
We did not take that out.
We took him out of the intro on the YouTube
because since he doesn't work for the show anymore,
we can't legally use his image.
So that's the only reason.
It wasn't because we're like,
we're cutting you out of the show.
We're not going to do the thing
that happens on Howard Stern sometimes
when people leave
where he just never speaks of them again.
Like they don't exist and they never did exist. Andrew is still a part of our world. Andrew and
I made so many inside jokes on the show. I am mourning the loss of my co-host as much as you're
mourning the loss of the co-host of your, you know, hopefully favorite podcast. I totally understand
if you're feeling frustrated, let down, not into the show as much,
like kind of like, I don't want to listen anymore. And like all of those feelings that come up
whenever something changes about a show you love. Like I, as a fan of podcasts, as a fan of TV,
as a fan of just entertainers, I hate when things change. I hate when even seeing Dave Matthews' band, Boyd
Tinsley on the violin.
He had a whole thing.
He was the violinist for Dave Matthews' band.
He was extraordinary.
Really made what Dave Matthews' band
sounds like. He gave
that sound to it. There's strings going
on in the songs. I went to go see him live
and I'm like, man, I miss Boyd Tinsley even though he
was let go because he allegedly was trying to have sex with underage kids or
something no they brought in a symphony at one part but like there was no there was no violins
there was no fill-in and i was like i need that violin and there's a flavor to boyd's playing
that i don't think really could be replicated by anyone else so there was something in it missing
for me that goes this isn't the same as like it doesn't sound the same as the album so there is going to be changes about the show there's going to be things you miss
without question it would be weird if there weren't they're going to miss certain dynamics
of us whether it was good things or bad things like we brought it all here we had gotten in
arguments on the show we had expressed our love for one another we made up we laughed hysterically together like i will miss all
of that as well and i definitely acknowledge everyone saying how disappointed they are and
how sad they are i felt that way when andy richter and conan separated i felt that i would have felt
that way if i had lived through art garfunkel and paul simon i would have been so upset about that
even though you know when things move on,
you get used to the new thing.
And I don't mean to treat this like your mommy and daddy aren't living in the
same house anymore,
but you'll still have two Christmases.
The thing is you will get two Christmases.
Andrew,
I'm a hundred percent sure we'll be starting either,
you know,
puddles he'll pick up again,
or he will do a new reiteration of that.
So you will get two
christmases you can listen to both podcasts one more really funny episode coming up with andrew
on wednesday that is true we pre-taped an episode that is so funny coming up on wednesday yeah um
so you will hear that so you get two this week even though i'm just doing one for the rest of
the week but we pre-taped that one so you've one more episode with mommy and daddy um still together under the same house
um so yeah i think that addresses everything we will we are like we're just we just need a period
of like we just decided to end this and you know in a relationship when you break up with a boyfriend
or a girlfriend um you know everyone's like are you guys still gonna be friends you guys lived
you were best friends that's why it was fun so weird about breakups as you go from like
being in love and sleeping in the same bed to like we're never talking again and the thing is the
best relationships that break up because it's just a conflict of um of like of interest of like well
i want kids and you don't or i want to move i want to be close to my parents and you don't when it's
something like that where it's like we love each other but it's just this one
thing that's kind of like it was with me and Andrew it's like it's I think it's just more
circumstantial this is the healthier thing for your friendship yes in the long run but like a
relationship that just split we're gonna need some time to not be we just need some time on our own
to like figure out who we are on our own and let
kind of the, I mean, it was very, it was traumatic last week, I want to say for, for me and I'm sure
for him too, um, to both go through this like major life change and for him to leave the show.
I mean, that's a big change in his life. So I feel for him and whatever he's going through.
And I'm glad he has a support system in his family
and his girlfriend and all of you guys who are fans who are writing to him so um yeah we will
be friends again you'll see each us hanging out at some point again but not on this podcast and i
hope you still listen and if you don't i totally understand but the show will go on and i don't
want you to think that whoever mommy brings in here
to hang out with her
is going to replace Andrew.
There's literally no plan.
I promise you.
The show is already going to change a lot.
I think in the new year,
I think I was going to take this time.
We were going to take this time
of doing one episode a week
to reevaluate what we like,
what we don't like.
And then in that time of taking it once a week,
something big happened.
So now we're revamping everything and there will be changes to the show,
but they will be all in the best interest of you,
the listener and us to be having as much fun as possible on the show.
So if I have someone in that's new and you're like,
and he's sitting in Andrew's chair and you're like,
this guy's not Andrew,
please be just know that he's not Andrew.rew's chair and you're like this guy's not andrew please
be just know that he's not andrew i'm not replaced there's no co-host i'm not auditioning co-hosts
there's nothing like that happening there's there's no need to weigh in on my guests i'm
going to be having here i honestly well i wanted you here today because i was gonna have my friend
uh bobby in who i'm to have in at some point.
But I told Bobby, I was like, he was booked before Andrew quit.
And so I told Bobby, hey, I don't want fans to think that you might be a replacement.
And I know that I would hate you if I was a listener, just being a new guy sitting in Andrew's chair.
Right.
So I was like, let's bring in someone that everyone already has a lot of affection for, including me some days. It's my mom, Julie Glazer. Hi Nikki. How are you? I'm good. Yeah? You're
feeling a little under the weather? Yeah, I have like a little throat issue and a little cough.
You know, when you said that to me coming over, you wrote to me and you go, do you have any throat
tea? And I'm like, this bitch got COVID? Are you bringing COVID? I gotta sing the national anthem in two days. You know that, right?
Or three days.
Did you kiss me? No.
Julie's facing the opposite direction of Nikki.
She just slowly turned the other way.
Yeah, give the wall COVID.
That wall needs something
on it anyway.
I don't think I have COVID, but I was kind of looking
at coughing and your dad's coming.
Oh, yeah. Oh, so you have a dry cough.
You have a headache.
Is that a sign?
Do you have a headache?
No, I'm not saying.
Oh, my God.
My mom's giving me COVID and I have to sing the national anthem.
You know what?
You could have told me you had COVID and like active COVID and you're like, I would have
still had you come over because I just did not want to do this podcast with like no one
here.
So I'm so glad you're here. Yeah, I won't still had you come over because I just did not want to do this podcast with like no one here. So I'm so glad you're here.
Yeah, I won't breathe on you.
And if I get COVID,
there's an excuse for if I sound horrid on Thursday.
You know?
So this morning I,
so I'm singing,
I'm the Grand Marshal of the St. Louis
Thanksgiving Day Parade.
All right.
All right.
On Thursday,
which is Thanksgiving.
Are you going to be on a float?
Or walking?
Yes.
So I'm going to be on a float.
And we get to be in the parade, too.
My Fitbit is not going to get any action that day.

Yeah, my mom, I just got word today that my family gets to be on a trolley behind me.
Yes.

The role that I went out for.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
Who?
Chloe Fineman.
She's the blonde girl on SNL who does amazing impressions.
Oh, my God.
I am just thrilled to lose that role to her.
Oh, my God.
Because I knew he was looking for a comedian.
That was the vibe.
And I was just like, just don't let it be a stand-up. Because I because i would have felt like man he did want to stand up and i didn't get it
when judd apatow was casting funny people for the role of seth rogan's girlfriend or the girl that
she's a comedian in the movie and she's like you know one of the ones they're friends with
the script you know i was babysitting
for judd judd apatow at the time for iris and maude and i saw scripts of funny people laying
out and i read one of them or i saw maybe i saw like the i heard that they that judd was going
around comedy clubs this is before judd was back doing stand-up and he was going to comedy clubs
to look for stand-up comics for this role and it was a 25 year old girl and the scene you read for
the audition she was a wilco fan girl and the scene you read for the audition
she was a wilco fan and at the time all i wore was wilco shirts because i was trying to attract
a man who liked wilco right i manifested it it's chris loves wilco but um you still wear
i still wear a lot of wilco stuff he loves you already stop wearing it
now i wear you got him you got him i should start wearing all the things he loves f1 racing he went
to see Elton John last night oh I know in St. Louis no oh in Los Angeles okay um we have a lot
to talk about but I wanted to say there's a couple things I want to tie up okay so funny people I
heard he was looking for a comedian and so I don't even know if I told the story on the on this
podcast I wrote to him and asked for
an audition and I was like I would never use my role in your life as your babysitter ever to look
for I would never I never took this job to get anything from you in any way and I really did it
I was like but there is a role in your movie that is who I am a 25 year old struggling stand-up
comedian who loves Wilco and I
was like I cannot ask for an audition and he gave me one and I didn't get it but when it went to
robbery plaza I was so happy because she wasn't a stand-up and I was like oh good and so when I
went to Chloe Feynman I was like okay at least it's not a stand-up when Taylor Swift put a bunch
of comedians in her music video for anti-hero one of which was mike verbiglia a stand-up i was still
happy it wasn't a female stand-up i want to be the first female stand-up in our video um but he is in
that video did you know mike verbiglia is in taylor swift's video my friend i i might have heard that
but yeah he's in a lot of things he's in a lot of things he's on broadway right now but your your
favorite movie funny girl yeah you always used to tell me that was your favorite movie I remember my Dr. Abusive my therapist right
Maya Maya you called her well I say my abusive therapist so much that no Noah one day was like
it sounds like her name is Maya abusive and so I call her Dr. Abusive okay um so Dr. Abusive
she she one day was like you know what you need to see?
Funny Girl.
What?
And I was like, really?
That's my mom's favorite movie.
I've never seen it.
And she was like, that's the story of your life right now.
And I was like, what is the story of my life?
And she was like, that a man's trying to shape who you are and is just going to steal who
you are and exploit you.
And I was just like, this really isn't what's happening at all in my relationship.
You're not listening, bitch.
That's kind of not really the story.
Not at all.
She didn't,
whenever she would ever weigh in on my relationships,
I'd be like,
you're way out of line.
And then she'd go,
and you're not a beauty.
And I'd go,
that you're right on the money.
She was like,
yeah.
She was awful.
I never said anything about her.
You say stuff about her now, but do you know she wrote me the other night? You're kidding. I never said anything about her. You say stuff about her now,
but do you know she wrote me the other night?
You're kidding.
I had not talked to her.
Did I talk about this on air, Noah?
Yes, yeah.
Already?
Yeah, well, I'll tell my mom.
I had not talked to her in six years
and she wrote to me,
watch, what was the show?
It was like something mothers?
Bad Moms or something.
Watch terrible bad moms or something watch terrible mother bad
moms or something like some show about working moms work watch working moms it's all it said
cryptic in the middle of the night i was in atlanta i just flown there to shoot a show and
i got in town it's like two o'clock in the morning but she's on the west coast it's like 11 o'clock
where she is and i and i wrote on my instagram what does this mean and i think it's just she
was like this is a funny show. Nikki should do something like this.
Yeah.
She was always telling me I'm not funny.
So she was trying to direct me into funny things.
What a weirdo.
Who goes to someone like that?
Why didn't you pick up on that a long time ago?
Because this is the whole thing of when people go, why do you stay with him if he beats you?
Why do you stay with him if he's mean?
Because it's a cycle of abuse.
They convince you that you're shit and that you already think you're shit.
So if they keep doing it,
you feel like they know you more than anyone.
And she would call me and say,
I'm the only one who loves you.
Oh my God.
So shout out to wait.
How long did you go to?
I know you probably got to go to break,
but five years.
I got to go to break.
Yeah.
Four,
five,
four years.
Probably something like that. But I got a lot of good stuff from her. I really did. I got to go to break. Yeah. Three, four, five, four years. Probably something like that.
But I got a lot of good stuff from her.
I really did.
I took the good and took the bad.
And I got a good story.
And I learned a lot.
I probably would have been swindled again had it not happened to me.
I'm grateful for it.
I'm grateful for all the things that go wrong in my life.
You look back and you go, oh, well, that was a good lesson.
Not everything, but pretty much everything.
Let's go to break and come back.
This is the week to be grateful.
It is.
It's Thanksgiving.
We'll talk about Thanksgiving a little bit more when we get back.

I'm Ellie Flynn and I'm an investigative
journalist. When a group of
models from the UK wanted my help
I went on a journey deep
into the heart of the adult entertainment
industry. I really wanted to be
a playboy model. Lingerie adult entertainment industry. I really wanted to be a player boy in my dog.
Lingerie, topless.
I said, yes, please.
Because at the center of this murky world
is an alleged predator.
You know who he is because of his pattern of behavior.
He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it.
He's everywhere and has been everywhere.
It's so much worse and so much more widespread
than I had anticipated.
Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in.
It's not just me. We're an army in comparison to him.

is releasing a series of happiness how-to guides to help you in 2025. I'll distill the wisdom of
world-class experts into easy-to-digest, actionable tips. It's about never feeling
good enough. I feel like I'm always failing. You'll learn how to handle relationships, how to be inspiring, and how to find your purpose.
We make it this big pie-in-the-sky thing, and then of course we're all frustrated because no one knows how to get there.
Struggling with tough emotions? We have a how-to guide.
Worried that you're not enough? We got you.
Self-obsessed and want to get over yourself, there's a guide for that too. The ability to approach somebody and make them experience desire for you in minutes or even hours is a rare and rather unnecessary skill, historically speaking.

Listen to My Legacy starting January 20th on MLK Day on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, we're back.
My mom's got a tickle in her throat.
She's coughing off air.
My mom is blasting COVID all over this small, tiny room.
Are you nervous for me to sing the national anthem?
I have a feeling you are.
No, I have full confidence you can nail this.
All I can think about is when I go for that high note at the end
that's like, in the land of the free, that one.
Yeah, you got it.
See? Well, you don't know what key I'm going to do it in. That could have been a lower key. the end that's like in the land of the free that one yeah you got it see well you know that was off
you don't know what key i'm gonna do it in that could have been a lower key are you doing a key
i want to do it the highest key i can do it just because i'm keep whatever i practice i go my mom
is going to freak out think she's gonna be anticipating i'll anticipate it for sure you'll
anticipate it yes yeah i know you're very worried and I can't wait to hit that note and have you just go,
oh, thank God.
You're going to nail it, Nikki.
I really feel it.
It'll be okay.
It'll be cold outside.
I will do my best.
I'll tell you this.
It won't be like my first pitch.
It'll be much more impressive than that.
And as someone who's a comedian
where everyone goes,
you are singing the national anthem.
I went and did a bunch of news today.
That's why you go, where are you going?
My mom said to me right before we started,
what are you dressed up for?
But I'm not even dressed up.
I just have full makeup on kind of.
I did my face.
But I went to KMOV, Channel 4,
which is where the Thanksgiving Day Parade is going to air.
You could probably watch it live online
if you don't live in St. Louis.
Isn't it going to be on TV?
Yeah, but I'm saying in St. Louis it'll be on TV.
But most people aren't living
in St. Louis. You've got to think outside the box.
I thought everyone lived here.
I feel like they should.
Anyway, well that's awesome.
And you'll be behind me in the float.
I'm going to be in the trolley waving like, you know.
Miss America?
Are we doing backup vocals?
Oh yeah, you could. I'll sing behind in the trolley waving like, you know. Miss America? Are we doing backup vocals? Oh yeah, you could.
I'll sing behind in the trolley when it's ding, ding, ding.
Well, you know, do you know that the Graham Bensinger show that I did?
Yes.
Okay.
So during that, there's on YouTube, there's me.
It chronicles like my whole voice experience.
And I really don't care for the titles of all of the um youtube clips they really
sensationalize the titles they're like nikki glazer wants her boyfriend to fuck other women
and i'm just like is this like a news journalism show or it's like you know it's just really like
crazy titles anyway um uh in it when i go get my voice checked on, he's there filming the first time I sing or the first time I talk.
So I talk and then my doctor is like, sing something, which I did not.
He does that to like Adele.
You know, my doctor's operated on Adele.
So it's interesting to go, Adele, sing something.
But I'm not a singer, but he knows that my passion is singing.
But I'm embarrassed to sing in front of him because he's used to like,
you know,
Adele,
Julie Andrews,
like John Mayer,
on and on,
so many other clients that I can't even tell you
that he had
because there's an NDA
and I'm not supposed to say
HIPAA or whatever.
He's,
hippos.
And so,
You should hear them sing.
They're great.
Hippos are so cute.
I'm obsessed with them
and they're so fast. Yeah. Do you know that they're so fast? No. They're the most dangerousppos are so cute. I'm obsessed with them. And they're so fast.
Yeah.
Do you know that they're so fast?
No.
They're the most dangerous animal in the world.
I might believe that.
Yeah.
You might believe it?
There's nothing to might believe.
It's a fact, Julie.
I can either want to or not.
What if I called you Julie?
And if I want to, then I'll say I might.
Yeah.
Hippos are really dangerous.
Yeah.
I know they're powerful. powerful jaws could kill anything.
No, they're fast as fuck though.
Like they look really tubby.
They swim?
Yeah, but they,
on the bottom of,
if you Google this video
where there is a hippo chasing a boat
and it,
they can get up to like,
I think,
I mean I'm exaggerating,
but I think like 25 miles an hour
in the water.
That's amazing.
They kill about 500 people in Africa.
A year.
According to the internet.
Yeah, a year.
Well, you see how fast they can run on land and on water, Noah, as I continue.
So thank you so much for looking it up.
We just need to know.
People need to know.
We have a lot of listeners in Africa.
Not that there's hippos like everywhere in Africa.
I think I've seen that before.
That's so cool. They're so dangerous. Up to 30 lot of listeners in Africa. Not that there's hippos everywhere in Africa. No, I think I've seen that before. That's so cool.
They're so dangerous.
Up to 30 miles per hour.
Whoa.
Dude.
In the water?
Yeah, on land.
In the water.
On land.
Okay, so that's pretty fucking fast.
Yeah, no.
How fast do you think humans can run?
Top speed.
I think 15 miles an hour.
Yeah, I would say that's probably as much as I would get up to if I was being chased, like if I
was running from a hippo. So I'm dead.
So you're dead. He's overpowered
you in seconds. In seconds.
And black bears, don't even
get me started on black bears. That's the scariest
one. Bears
are terrifying.
Always carry bear spray. I don't care where
you are. Yeah, I think that's a great idea.
I got you some for Christmas.
Did you?
Going to.
You should get,
I would love anything
that would protect me
from the horrors of the world.
Chris got me two things of mace.
It's about time.
I go, how much do you think
I'm going to use?
Well, he's just looking at it.
It's just one for each part of my life.
It's about time he bought you some mace.
Yeah, it's about time.
Well, he always buys me mace CDs of the rapper mace.
And that's really-
Macy Gray.
I try to say goodbye and I choke.
That's pretty good, Macy Gray.
Oh, yeah.
When you try to get to one, you could-
I try to say hello, but I choke.
Yeah, you actually do try to say hello and you choke
because you have COVID right now.
Because I have COVID right now.
I've never had COVID.
I've tried to say good-
I've got to knock on some wood here.
Wait, you've never had it?
No, I haven't had COVID.
Oh, you think you're a little special lady over there.
No, I don't.
Oh, you think you're immune.
I think I'm due.
Yeah, you probably-
I was around a lot of people this weekend.
Well, great news.
Okay, so-
I'm sure I don't have it.
I am- Welcome back to our special COVID episode where even noah's gonna get it through zoom because my mom's we're gonna get
flagged i'm not gonna get it teaming with it um no so hippos can run 30 miles an hour oh so anyway
when the first time i sang on that show when he was like you can sing now and so i was just like kind of frazzled and i go oh say
can you see and anya and matt you know anya and matt my tour manager they laughed so hard when
they watched that because they were like why would she sing that but they didn't know the context
that before that i would have been telling him i'm gonna sing the national anthem i got asked to
sing the national anthem right and so there's context to that. But that's why so many things on TV,
like taken out of context,
I look insane just like the first thing I say
and I put my hand on my heart,
I'm like, oh, say, can you see?
Like, that's so insane.
But I've been practicing.
So when I went into my vocal lesson for,
oh, say, can you see the national anthem?
I think it's called the Star Spangled.
Yeah, oh, see, can you see the national anthem i think it's called the star spangled yeah oh yeah
oh see can you see um it's uh i it i only we only practice that first part because it's so hard like
this is what you do with like voice lessons so i was going like oh say can you see like just that's
like she was like just sing it like just just sing it. Like, just get through it. Like you're talking? Or just like get through it.
Oh, just to make sure you can hit all the notes.
And then you go in and you're like, oh, say, can you see?
Put some feeling in it.
It's like, you go, oh, say, can you see?
And then it's like every single, you don't realize in singing,
every single word has like a push, a pull.
And she's also like every single song you sing, do it like you want to fuck someone.
Try to make it sound like every song, make it sound like you want to fuck someone.
Even like the wheels on the bus go round and round.
Oh, I don't think so.
I'm just kidding.
Don't do that with kids.
Oh my God.
But I know everybody Bitsy spider
Went up
A water spout
Like everything's
If you make things sexual
They sound better
I mean she's not saying
That for everything
Well I'm saying that song
Everyone tries to make that
Their own
I know
Chris already told me
He goes
What are you doing to it
Yeah
And I go
Don't worry.
I'm not doing any.
I'm doing a couple things.
You're going to fuck it.
No, I'm not going to fuck it.
You said that.
That's what your singing teacher said.
No.
Here's the thing.
It's like, so I'm going to go like.
So weird.
Oh, say can you see right by the dawn's early light?
What so proudly we hail at the twilight's last gleaming?
So I'm going to get through that without any flourish.
Who's brought stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight?
Are the ramparts we watch?
I might go, we watch.
Why are you doing that?
Because it's nothing.
It makes it a little interesting.
I'm not going, we watch.
We're so gallantly streaming.
I'm not doing any of that.
I'm just doing a little bit of stuff.
All right.
Very subtly.
Because you don't,
it's boring to just listen to it flat.
You gotta do,
you gotta bring something to it.
Well, everyone's just crossing their fingers
when they hear that song
that are they gonna make it through?
Have you ever not heard someone make it through
besides Fergie?
Well, you know,
you've heard the Roseanne Barr.
Yeah, Roseanne did it on purpose. She did that on purpose. Oh, yeah. I've heard people not make it through? Well, you've heard the Roseanne Barr. Yeah, Roseanne did it on purpose.
She did that on purpose.
Oh, yeah.
I've heard people not make it.
Really?
Most recently, I went to an event and they brought out this country artist, right?
And you think like country, he would know the national anthem.
He started it and then he stopped and he said, guys, I'm really nervous.
I'm going to restart.
Which to that, I was i was like okay that's cool
yeah good he wants to do it right so he restarts it but he forgets the lyrics midway he looks at
his hat it looks like he was reading out of his hat and he still got it wrong it was so like bad
it was not cool interesting because did you go to a rode? What were you at? I was at an MMA event in Phoenix.
A mama event.
That makes sense.
I love the national anthem.
I love when people sing it.
It just is a little moment to be patriotic.
It's going to be awesome.
I will say that my voice teacher said,
have the lyrics in front of you.
Because when you're calm and I'm just singing it in front of you because as much as you think you want like because when
you're calm and i'm just singing it in front of her or singing it right here it's fine but you
don't know what nerves do to your system sometimes and they really take it over you have such i
believe she'll remember them but you are weird yeah they are put them in front of you yeah you're
not gonna no one's gonna even Who's brought stripes and bright stars
through the perilous fight?
Or,
like over,
but o'er,
o'er the ramparts
we watched
were so gallantly streaming.
And the rocket's red glare,
the bombs bursting in air,
gave proof through the night
that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that
star-spangled banner
yet wave
for the land of the free?
Is it for?
Or the land?
Or the land. Or the land of the free is it for or the land or the land of the free
and the home of the brave oh boy or the land going back to making it your own though i have a question
do you like it when um artists cover other artists and they make it a little bit their
own or do you like it sounding exactly like the original great question um i like exactly what i just said i want i want the cover so if
i'm seeing someone in concert i want to and i know the song like say they're just covering a taylor
swift song i want to know that i could sing with them and like sing it and know it because i like
to not to sing along but at least mouth along with it and i don't want them to do anything with it
that is really abandoning it but I also believe that
they should do something a little bit of
their own so for instance this weekend
I got it was so much
fun on the road this weekend I am
I don't know what's happened like
first of all thank you so much to everyone
who comes out so many fucking besties come
out none of you gave me shit about the
Andrew thing none of you gave me shit about taking it
down to one week all of you were just excited to see me you gave me presents mom one girl gave me
her gloves i was like i love your gloves and she was like do you want them oh and i was like yes
they're like these vintage i don't want to say vintage but they're like early patagonia before
like fit you they don't work on cell phones so they're like definitely pre-2009 they fit me
they're mittens that go over but then the fingers are cut off.
That was in Burlington.
Thank you so much to that girl
who gave me the fucking gloves off her hands.
I love them so much.
Then another bestie gave me a,
she was a total hilarious person.
She didn't want picture with me.
She just wanted them to film her interaction.
So she gave me a bestie bestie bracelet um and she got one
for herself so we had friendship bracelets it's in the other room i haven't put it on yet only
because i just it hasn't been in front of my face so the second it is in front of my face again and
i haven't unpacked yet so don't be hurt if i don't do that um and then the two other girls and that
was so nice and then two other girls brought me a framed picture of themselves that was signed and
they were like we thought you'd want a framed picture of us and i was like i love this frame like i'm definitely
gonna take you guys out of this and put in a picture of poppy and they laughed at that and um
but everyone was so nice and we took pictures and people had you know bestie merch and um it was
just so good to see you guys after like kind of a hard week of like what like does everyone hate me
what's the podcast gonna be it was just nice to see faces and have no one come up and be like
kind of like like there's no tinge of like we know something's wrong or like something's going it was
just like nothing but positivity but what was really fun was that anya's boyfriend's band, Anya's fiance, Matt, my tour manager, his band,
The Natural Lines, opened for me in both Burlington and Providence, Rhode Island.
And they were so good. And it was so fun because it was like I got to go see one of my favorite
bands perform five songs of theirs that I know by heart. I love so much. And they sounded awesome.
I mean, it was five people in a band.
It was a big band.
That's so cool that you do that.
Oh my God.
You invite them to come.
Well,
they asked and I was like,
that's actually,
Matt thought of the idea
and I was like,
that's a great idea.
And then at the end,
Matt's like,
and you know,
thank you to Nikki.
We're going to play one of her favorite Taylor Swift songs
and we might need a little help.
And so.
Everyone was saying,
oh,
you sang a lot.
He starts singing anti-hero.
And then I come out and I sang the whole song and then the crowd sings it
because everyone knows it now.
Oh,
nice.
Hi,
I'm the problem.
But,
um,
even with that song,
like trying to find something about it that I can make my own is hard.
And I'm like,
cause it's,
it's not that fun to sing that song.
Like in terms of technique for me,
cause it's just like,
it's me. Hi, I'm the problem technique for me, because it's just like, it's me,
hi,
I'm the problem,
it's me.
And that just like,
there's no like extended notes where you can play with anything.
So even with that,
I was trying to go like,
it's me,
hi,
I'm the problem,
it's me.
Like trying to like,
change it up a little bit.
just to give it something
that I can play with
because it's just,
it doesn't suit my voice as well.
But after saying all that, my favorite thing, one of my favorite covers of Taylor Swift's song is Sarah Bareilles, who is a gigantic talent in her own right.
She did that song.
I want to see you be brave.
I love her.
You like that?
I don't know that song.
I'm not going to write you a love song.
Oh, I know that song.
Because your ass.
Yeah, she's awesome.
She did a cover of Taylor Swift's Clean.
And it's awesome.
And it's on YouTube.
And it's one of my favorites.
So check that out.
Well, that's really nice that you surround yourself with the people that you love anyway.
It was so much fucking fun.
I cannot tell you. i love hangs that is
what i miss more than anything it's what i miss about going to the cellar it's what i miss about
living in new york it's what i miss about being when you get to be 38 to all of our young besties
out there and you get you're hanging out with your friends every night and going to bars and
that shit goes away people get married people. People have kids. People get lives. People get jobs.
It's just that,
that just sitting around
and talking goes away.
And so after the shows,
I'm used to like,
Andrew's already tired.
He's going to bed.
Anya and Matt
have been working all night.
They're going to bed.
And everyone kind of,
and I'm still like adrenaline up
and I know besties are like,
come hang with us.
You don't know,
I don't know you
so I can't really like
commit to those. You know? And so I don't know you so I can't really like commit to those.
You know?
And so,
I'm just so used to like
afterwards I just sit in,
in,
at the venue.
I eat my food
and like everyone hangs out
and kind of placates
like me just having
a little bit more energy
and we kind of talk a little bit
but then we go back to the hotel
and we're done.
Right.
Because no one drinks either.
Right.
So drinking is something
that keeps people up.
That's another thing
in your 30s,
people keep,
get sober and no one hangs, alcohol is a big part of hanging out and um so we go so
the other night we leave the venue in burlington and we go back to our hotel and i walk in the
lobby thinking like this sucks like i just have to go to bed i have so much energy i don't know
what i'm gonna do with it all i'm gonna be up all night. I can only masturbate once. No offense, Mom. I don't know why I said no offense, but I guess, yeah, I hope no
offense was taken. So offended. Just kidding. You're so offended that I masturbate. That would
be so funny. I guess you could be offended, but I almost said it like you would have taken umbrage.
Nikki, you were my boyfriend or something. Nikki, what are you doing that for?
Yeah. No, I don't care what you do. Nikki, what are you doing that for? Yeah, so.
No, I don't care what you do. And Anya was staying with me too
because Matt had the band.
He was staying in a room with all them
and then Anya was like,
I'm gonna sleep in bed with you,
which was awesome because I was like,
oh good, I'll have someone to talk to.
Yeah, you have somebody to talk to, yeah.
But we walked back in
and the band was all like in the bar area
of this hotel hanging out
and I was like, hi guys.
And I was just like, like yes and so we sat down
and i didn't really know them i got to sound check none of them drink no they drink oh but they
weren't like they're not heavy drinkers but they're having a drink yeah they're in a band so
they're used to like staying out late afterwards and like hanging out which comedians like don't
do that we're all just like we go to our separate hotel rooms yeah jerk off we go to sleep and we
fall asleep watching tiktok or whatever like we're just boring we take a shit all just like we go to our separate hotel rooms yeah we jerk off we go to sleep and we fall
asleep watching tiktok or whatever like we're just boring we take a shit we just like we're not
hanging out and i miss we i used to at the cellar because it was a bar people are hanging out but
there's no place on the road for us to do that anymore because we don't drink right and so we
got back and i was just like oh and anya's like i think i'm gonna go to bed and i was like okay
but i'm gonna stay down
here like I'm so excited and so and this band was so cool shout out to Dan the drummer shout out to
John the guitarist shout out to Chris the guitarist shout out to um Heidi uh sorry Heidi
she always says her name is Hillary but I kept being like I keep thinking her name is something
else she was like do you think it's Heidi and I i was like now i do oh my god so hillary um on the keys and and backup vocals they are were all so freaking
nice and it was just like that's traveling with a band it's so fun in a band so i have some big
ideas for myself because i need to be in a band it's too much fun it was like everyone and they're
all just in their late 30s i think heidi hillary Heidi Hillary slash Hillary Heidi is in her like early 30s, but they've all they're just extraordinary musicians.
They're all so cool there.
They didn't think they were better than me because I'm not a musician.
They included me like I felt like I was in a band like I felt like not musical and cool and like we're just talking about life stuff and they're all artists so yeah i don't know and it's been a long time since i've sat around with people and been like so what's like
the most pain you've ever been in in your life or like was there ever time you thought you were
gonna die or like just talking about like really interesting things or like you know what's the
most in love you've ever been in and how bad did that go wrong like we were just getting into like
cool stories and sharing stories it was awesome and. And I loved it so freaking much.
Yeah, it's such a down... I mean,
I was with you in Santa Barbara
when Anya hit her gig.
And that was really fun. We went
out to eat afterwards, and I thought... That was the
best hang. Yeah, so I felt
like I understand what it's like
when Anya... You weren't
doing it, but I mean, you weren't
performing. You finally had a night off. God love you. But Anya, because you weren't doing it, but I mean, you weren't performing. Yeah.
You finally had a night off.
Yes.
God love you.
But Anya, I always thought, this must be fun for Anya, just like the night's not done,
you know?
Yeah.
Well, that was the best.
We went out to, that was like the best night of my life this year, I think, was like watching
Anya perform, getting to sing one song with her, not really having to do anything myself
comedically.
I wasn't there as a comedian.
I was just there
as like a friend supporting
and then going out to dinner
with us three
and like talking about boys
and life.
It was fun.
Really fun.
It's different.
I realized that
hanging out with you
without dad
is different for me
than with dad.
It's like a different dynamic
for me.
And I'm like,
mom needs to go
on girls trips more.
Girls trips.
I'm in. I know. You would be pretty great on girls trips more girls trips I'm in I know you
would be pretty great on a girls trip I would be I never asked I would kind of hate if any of you
brought your moms because I don't know them you know Noah's like I'd hate if you brought my mom
too no I might hit your mom on the next girls trip well there is one coming up you can't go
to it unfortunately because it's already fully booked right and we can't fit any more people
in the um I don't know you're still pending so there is a spot still for you thank you on the
pull out probably won't be able to go but i'm just i had a feeling i didn't want to press it but um
there is one coming up we're excited about but it's just so nice to have a mother that um can
hang thanks nikki yeah i really appreciate you no No, I came home from that trip going,
I loved that trip.
It was the best time.
And we got to hang out with Chris,
you know, a little bit.
And I got to hang out with Tiffany.
Oh, my mom and Tiffany Haddish
and then Kevin Hart.
She keeps calling me.
I mean, just kidding.
Well, today I went on this KMOV show
and I was promoting the parade so it was
kent erhart who you know yeah i know he's like a weatherman also news guy and then this other girl
we were doing this like live kind of um broadcast like after how come you don't tell us about that
i didn't know it was live i didn't know it was live they thought they said it was just like
online so it was online only it would have been a nightmare for you to find yeah there's like
three people watching and so we were interviewing on it and the girl right before was like is it glaser glaser and i was like
it's glazer and i never care if people don't know i just don't care and she was like and i could tell
she was maybe a little bit embarrassed and i i should just tell people so they don't have to ask
because it is an admission that i don't know who you are kind of thing and when you're interviewing
you you know so to make her feel better,
I go,
I actually did a show with Kevin Hart last week and everyone was like,
he knows who you are.
He's so excited to have you on the show.
And then he was like,
is it Nikki Glashor?
And so I go,
even Kevin Hart did not know,
but then they both go,
then Kent Earhart is like,
Oh,
you want to pick up that name you just dropped?
And I was like,
Oh, I wasn't bragging.
I was trying to make her feel better that she's like Kevin Hart.
That's funny.
You know, like, but...
That's funny.
But it was really fun.
We did that show.
And then afterwards,
we did these like promos for the thing
where I hope I find it
so I can post it on our socials.
If you guys see it on TV,
because you watch TV.
It's a promo that's airing this week on Channel 4.
If anyone in St. Louis area sees it,
please film your TV and send it to me.
But it's me going like,
I'm about to shoot a promo
and I'm looking at the script.
It looks like kind of behind the scenes.
Right.
And I'm like,
okay, so I'm Nikki Glaser this Thanksgiving.
I will be the Grand Marshal of Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Okay, cool.

And it's like, well, this is COVID, Mom.
No, it's... Welcome to the club.
You got it. Do you have... I think

Thanksgiving is upon us
and I hope to everyone
out there that
you have someone
to spend it with
and if you don't
maybe I'll go live
on Instagram
on our socials and you can spend it with. And if you don't, maybe I'll go live on Instagram, on our socials,
and you can spend it with us.
I think that might be fun.
Sure.
I hate to think that anyone is alone on Thanksgiving.
I do think that Instagram lives,
at least when I watch some of people,
I feel like I'm hanging out with someone.
And even when I go live on my own,
I feel like everyone there,
I go on them when I'm alone.
So look for that that night.

They call her Kate.
All the convies call her Kate.
How would you feel about me calling you

I would like Chris not to call me Mrs. Glazer.
How about that one?
I want him to call me Mrs. Glazer.
Feel free.
Even add a Mrs. to it.
If he calls me Mrs. Glazer on Wednesday, I'm going to have to.
He does do that.
Yeah, he's got to call you Julie.
Yeah.
Because he doesn't call you Mrs. Glazer in front of me.
No, he calls you Jules. He calls you a bitch. I'm just kidding. He'll say something like Jules. Yeah, he's got to call you Julie. Yeah. Because he doesn't call you Mrs. Glazer in front of me. No, he calls you Jules.

forest poppy and arlo right and then dad and mom right um it's been a while since we've i guess we
did it last year did we i remember andrew so much, I had to go do a show.
Oh, Andrew was there, and he ate so much that he looked pregnant.
No, he was so upset.
He was so hungry.
Lauren was pregnant.
Oh, and he started eating before we could wait.
He got his plate and went into the dining room and started eating before any of us got.
And he ate like two plates full of food, and then he got sick. Yeah, he got sick. But he started eating before we of us got... He ate two plates full of food and then he got sick.
He started eating before we all sat down.
Not that we're a family who prays,
but it's Thanksgiving.
I agree.
I thought it was hilarious.
We're not all praying at the table.
We're thankful though.
We are.
I remember I have a picture
of him bouncing, touching
stomachs with Lauren
Because Lauren was
She gave birth the next day
Yeah she went and labored that night
And they looked equally as pregnant
It was one of my favorite pictures ever
That was a great Thanksgiving
But this year I don't have to shoot a special
In one day after Thanksgiving
So I feel so much more relief
But let's talk about Thanksgiving food
The topic today for top one bottom one is
Thanksgiving food. The topic today for top one, bottom one is?
Thanksgiving food.
Thanksgiving foods.
So, I mean, you know, this is a subject that's probably, you know, everyone has a quick opinion on.
But let's go through your least favorite Thanksgiving food.
We always start with the bottom.
Well, I mean, I make Thanksgiving, so I don't make anything I don't like.
So that's… Okay, well, let's say you're going to someone else's, like a tried and true Thanksgiving,
a thing you will not have on your Thanksgiving.
We're not talking about your Thanksgiving food, like typical Thanksgiving foods that
you're like, ew, that is overrated.
Get that out of here.
One thing is, people make ambrosia salads.
Do you know what those are?
What is that?
They're like fruit with...
No, isn't that a band from the 70s?
Yes, and I loved them. Did you?
Yeah, I really liked them.
But it's marshmallow and fruit
and it's just
gross.
And the other thing I was thinking about...
Does it have a jello in it? Is it molded?
It's kind of like... It might have some kind of
gelatin in it. Disgusting.
I've never made it but i was like i do
not like that i don't think that is a real stuff like does that sweet potato kind of i don't think
so sweet potatoes i'm gonna google ambrosia salad they do have marshmallows on them too sometimes
okay yes i do know that um okay so ambrosia salad which no one's oh gross man. I'm looking at it. It's disgusting.
What's in it?
Okay.
Ambrosia salad with Cool Whip.
Okay.
The recipe is...
Okay.
One big sugar bomb.
Oh, God.
Why don't they just have this easily accessible?
And it's not even a dessert.
You know what?
I'm not someone who looks up recipes because I don't cook anything.
But why is it such a clusterfuck to find a fucking, just to find the ingredients?
And I know people said this before.
You have to read a whole story first.
No, no, no.
They've changed everything.
I've always looked up recipes for years.
Yeah.
Now, right underneath it, it says jump to recipe.
Oh, it does?
Yes.
So you got to grab it before you go down.
If you're lucky.
One can of mandarin oranges drained.
Oh, oranges.
That's right.
Okay.
One can of pineapple tidbits.
I don't like that word.
I think my mom used to make that.
It just sounds like people are like,
hey, here's a pineapple tidbit.
Here's a healthy meal.
Sometimes.
Like, it just sounds like a-
No.
They think it's healthy.
A rumor about pineapples.
Tidbits.
One cup of miniature marshmallows.
One cup of shredded coconut coconut i do love the texture
of coconut some people are anti-texture of coconut yeah and one cup of sour cream how on earth sour
cream that seems like something you would make when you are locked in your house because there
is some kind of nuclear war outside and it's the last last things in your cupboard i mean this is
truly all those things who would ever think to put all those together there if that tastes good nuclear war outside and it's the last things in your cupboard. I mean, this is truly the most...
Who would ever think to put all those together?
If that tastes good, that's brilliant.
Someone who's high.
It's very sweet.
Someone who's high and locked inside
during an apocalypse.
And you know what else
bugs me?
People go, I make the best
green bean casserole.le well is yours any different than
everybody else's it's the same recipe well what why is that different than saying you're you make
the best anything i mean like aren't all recipes kind of because i mean a turkey you have to really
there's finesse yes you have basted you there's all special things stuff it in a salad
you know different things are in a salad salad i feel like those are the easiest things to make
ever there's no cooking involved unless you're still gonna make you still gotta make your
dressing the dressing i guess you take some finesse yeah but a green bean casserole you
think that's the thing stop bragging about that quit bragging about your damn green bean casserole. I want to hear more of your pet peeves of people with their dinners.
Let me see what else.
No, but that green bean casserole.
I just heard this last night.
Somebody said, I make the best green bean.
It's like, oh, you put fried onion rings in it?
Oh, really?
In that can?
You know, they're all together at the grocery store.
You can get it. Yeah, it's canned, right? Green bean cass? You know, they're all together at the grocery store. You can get it.
Yeah, it's canned, right?
Green bean has to be based on a canned green bean.
They're canned green beans with canned cream of mushroom soup.
All right.
There's nothing incredible about it.
Okay.
So, ambrosia salad, it sounds equally disgusting to all of us.
Noah, what is your least favorite?
By the way, your top is so freaking cute.
It's so cute.
That's my favorite Thanksgiving food.
Yeah, that's my favorite.
Thank you.
Where's that from? It is very Thanksgiving. This is so cute. That's my favorite Thanksgiving food. Yeah, that's my favorite. Thank you. Where's that from?
It is very Thanksgiving.
This is like old H&M.
Oh, man, that's good.
Do you want me to give it to you?
God, man, it's such a good H&M.
I don't know what H&M is.
It just looks cute in anything.
I know.
That's really cute on you.
It is cute.
It's off the shoulder.
There's flowers on it.
It's just a good look.
And she's got those,
you got your roots coming in pretty heavily.
Yeah, they look perfect.
That is a good fucking look girl
Yep
I love it
Looks great
You make me want to grow out my roots
Alright
Now what's your least favorite Thanksgiving food?
You're gonna
Not think so highly
Of me after I say this
But my least favorite food is the turkey
I fucking hate turkey
How
Wait you hate turkey?
Whoa So one is I don't like the bird turkey I fucking hate turkey. How do you hate turkey? Whoa.
So one is I don't like the bird turkey.
It's my second least favorite bird.
Well, you should probably have two.
And I only like to eat it then.
Wait.
Huh?
Oh, yeah.
Wait, no one hates birds.
No, no, no.
I hate two birds.
She doesn't, birds in general?
No, I hate two birds.
Oh, turkeys.
Why do you hate turkeys?
Pigeons and turkeys.
And let me guess the other one.
Pigeons and turkeys.
I was going to say pigeons! Yeah.
Because they are obnoxious. You know why? Because
turkey, they're not afraid. I don't like birds that are not
afraid of you. With the exception of like
falcons and
stuff like that. Birds of prey.
Yeah, I just
I've been chased by turkeys
and I think that's why. I'm
too scared to eat them. Yeah. And I don't like the way
they taste. Yeah. I like that the fear that they put in you makes you not scared to eat them. And I don't like the way they taste.
I like that the fear that they put in you makes you not want to eat them though.
You would think you would like,
oh, I can't wait to eat that fucking stupid turkey
that's been chasing me, you know?
Right, and here's the thing.
Because they do taste delicious.
I'm a vegan and turkeys are delicious.
I don't think they taste delicious.
Wow.
But if I eat an animal,
you know, I was like a vegetarian
and then I started introducing protein
back into my diet from animals.
So I just like appreciate it
and I say grace to the animal almost
before I eat it.
That's so nice.
But I can't,
I just, I don't like turkeys so much
that I just can't even eat.
They make you think you're eating a cockroach.
They gross you out and they just cause you anxiety.
Just the word turkey.
Not anxiety, I just disgust.
You don't even like the shape of your hand
when you trace it on a piece of paper.
I want nothing to do
with turkeys. Nothing to do with it.
I have to say turkeys are
fucking delicious. And I am someone
who is a vegan. They're delicious.
And I'm so sorry to turkeys for being so good tasting.
Well, we're not having them this year because.
Because of me?
Yeah, but I did.
I was talking to Lauren.
I'm like, what do you want?
Do you want a lentil loaf?
And she said, that sounds so gross, mom.
I'm like, okay, I was going to get.
Just get a turkey. Everyone eats turkey except me, mom. I'm like, okay, I was gonna go do a- Just get a turkey.
Everyone eats turkey except me, mom.
Here's what we're doing.
I was gonna have a big party in Cincinnati
with Cornish game hens and no one wanted to do it.
My brother and EJ didn't want to do it.
My mom has this thing where she gets a craving for a food
and it must happen.
And now I'm guessing Cornish game hens are like-
That was the happening.
It was gonna happen. It was going to happen.
Your cough is going away because you're salivating so much that it's lubricating your lungs.
I feel like I don't have COVID anymore.
Yeah.
Just these Cornish game hens.
What the...
Who craves a Cornish game hen?
What even...
Well, I know they're little.
What is that?
No, I just wanted...
Because I knew I was going to have a vegan Thanksgiving.
I was thinking that.
Well, thank you so much for not killing turkeys, but killing these tiny little hens.
I'm killing little hens.
Okay.
So I feel bad.
But anyway, your sister said, mom, serve those.
Matt would like those.
Okay.
And I said, okay, I've got them.
I'm going to serve them.
Have I ever been someone who makes you like when you're eating it?
No, I just wanted to honor you for a second.
I don't.
For a second.
And then that was it. You honor me all the second. I don't, for a second. And then that was it.
You honor me all the time.
I don't.
Thanksgiving Day parade.
Yeah, I thought this is Nikki's day.
I don't want to eat a turkey.
I will still be wearing my sash
and carrying my scepter that night,
which I hope to get.
Wait, do you get that float?
I hope you.
No, I wish, I hope I got a scepter.
That would be so cool.
I think if you request it.
Yeah, I got to put a scepter request in.
Get your agent on.
They don't even know I'm doing this.
Oh my God.
Does anyone
know you're doing this? Have you posted anything?
No, nothing about it because there hasn't been
you know, to post anything you have to have
a graphic about it or you gotta make a video.
I'll post it. I got a picture today
shooting that promo.
Gotta put it out there.
I talked
about it on here my least favorite is um cranberry sauce I don't get it it just reminds me of just
jelly I if you want to put jelly on your rolls put those like I don't know what to do with it
it's always seemed like um I think we've actually talked about this. I just don't know. If I'm going to eat something so packed with sugar and preservatives
and just bad for you on every level,
I mean, maybe there's some vitamins in it.
I'm going to eat pumpkin pie or whipped cream.
I'm making fresh.
Even just pears in a salad or something.
That's out of a can and it's jellied.
I'm making whole cranberry.
I don't know.
I just think about those men on those cranberry juice commercials standing in that field with all those cranberries just farting.
Slopping around with their boots.
I feel the same way about turkeys or about those men and those cranberries.
I just don't.
I've never liked a cranberry.
What do we all got UTIs that we got to fix?
Why is that the only time cranberries are introduced into our diet? Why just that time of year? Or you have a UTIs that we gotta fix Why Why is that the only time Cranberries are introduced
Into our diet
Why just that time of year
Or you have a UTI
No I haven't
I have cranberries
You have a good recipe
No I just
No I'm making whole cranberries
Okay
And thank you so much
For you know
Doing dinner
You're welcome
We went to Ruby Tuesdays
A couple years ago
That was so fun
And that leads us
To my favorite
Thanksgiving food
The Ruby Tuesdays
Salad bar
That was so good
Me too Dude we loved The Ruby Tuesday's salad bar. That was so good.
Me too.
Dude, we love the Ruby Tuesday's salad bar.
If you are someone that lives near a Ruby Tuesday's, do not underestimate the salad bar.
It is like, I bet it's like 10 bucks at this point.
And then you can do a salad bar plus two sides.
And I think it rounds out to like $13.99.
It's delicious.
And it is a great meal.
I love Ruby Tuesday's.
Love them.
We were loving them.
Not sponsored, by the way.
I wasn't cooking for the first time ever.
And I go, Mom, let's just go to Ruby Tuesdays.
We know we want it.
You know you want it.
Your dad was kind of hesitant.
We drove like nine miles to go to a Ruby Tuesdays.
Yeah, it's not a close one.
It wasn't close.
And it was during COVID, I think.
It was the first year.
It was 2020.
Final thought.
Let's go on to our favorite Thanksgiving foods.
Okay.
We know yours is Cornish Gamehouse.
No, it's turkey for sure.
It's the sea urchin on discount.
I got it for sale.
Oh no, you didn't.
Noah for the win.
$5.99.
Got it.
Got all this urchin.
Have you ever had sea urchin?
Sea urchin? Squid. Of course I have. Well, we Got all this urchin. Have you ever had sea urchin? Sea urchin?
Squid.
Of course I have.
Well, we know you've had squid, but sea urchin?
Not sea urchin.
Okay.
Noah, where are you getting that from?
Well, Noah's taking it up.
Noah's doing, you know, comedy.
It was in the discount bin.
She's exaggerating.
At the Safeway.
Oh, my God.
Going to Albertsons.
Noah, you guys got to watch the video.
Noah's neck is doing things that I really like.
Going to Albertsons. Discount bin, baby. Got some urchin. Going to Albertsons. You guys got to watch the video. Noah's neck is doing things that I really like. Going to Albertsons.
Discount bent, baby.
Got some urchin.
Gonna eat it tonight.
Listen, I don't go to Albertsons or Urchin World.
Your dad's playing tennis.
I'm making my own dinner.
Don't have to worry about him.
Getting some urchin.
He doesn't deserve urchin.
Oh God.
I've never seen your face light up
like when I gave you that squid salad that one night.
Oh my God.
It was so nice to do that.
And you know what?
I don't like serving squid to anyone.
I'm not eating it anymore.
Because they're intellectual animals.
But I didn't mind it because I knew how honored it was.
You weren't just eating it like, whatever.
I hate when people just eat chicken and are like,
I don't like this.
I don't want any.
I'm not even hungry.
And they just waste a chicken's life.
But you are going to eat every part of that squid. I'm not even hungry. And they just waste a chicken's life.
But you are going to eat every part of that squid.
I'm so thankful.
You honor it.
Yeah, I honor it.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
There was a funny joke made this weekend.
We were talking about kids that get eaten by alligators.
And someone, you know, where they've just been snatched off.
It's so sad.
We weren't making fun of it. Does it really happen often?
It happened at Disney World.
An alligator. There was a kid waiting at at Disney World. Oh. An alligator.
There was a kid waiting at the Disney World resort on one of the hotels.
Oh, I remember that.
It was a three-year-old boy.
Was this like 10 years ago?
It was in the last 10 years, but it wasn't 10 years ago.
I remember that.
It's so tragic, but the alligator did use every part of the little boy, so he did.
That was my joke.
He honored him.
You know how they always say, use every part of the animal.
Oh, yeah.
It was just a reverse joke. He honored it. You know how they always say, like, use every part of the animal. Oh, yeah. So it was just a reverse joke.
You had to be there.
So my favorite,
wait, your favorite is turkey.
No, actually it's dressing.
I love dressing with gravy on it.
I'm a bread girl.
You mean gravy.
Oh, wait, no,
dressing is the stovetop stuffing.
No, dressing is, you know, stuffing.
So what,
it's almost like a frosting and icing.
I don't know why they call it dressing. Dressing in St. Louis, stuffing. So what, what's, it's almost like a frosting and icing. I don't know why they call it dressing.
Dressing in St. Louis, or I guess in Cincinnati, my mom gets her words from, they call stuffing
dressing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I think dressing means they're stuffing.
Why don't you make stuffing during the year then?
Like if that's your favorite food.
I sometimes do.
You do?
Yeah.
When I make it.
When dad's playing tennis late or practicing with his band, making stuffing for dinner.
I usually have two turkey dinners throughout the year.
Yeah, you do.
I love that meal.
Now, do you need the stuffing inside the turkey?
No, I don't do that.
Or do you put it on top of it because it's dressing?
I put it on its head.
It's a headdress.
No, I cook it separately.
Okay.
Is it breadcrumbs?
What is it?
Yeah, it's just breadcrumbs and an egg and poultry seasoning and a little chicken broth.
Sounds like an ambrosia salad.
No, no, no.
A savory ambrosia salad.
Onion and celery.
I've never liked stuffing.
Again, if I'm going to eat something that feels like not that good for you,
I'd want to do crescent rolls with some strawberry jam.
That, we serve that too.
If I'm going to carb load, I want to choose the –
I don't understand people that just like will eat things.
But you love that, so that makes sense to me.
I love it.
I don't love the taste of that stuff, so I'm just like,
I wouldn't waste part of my meal on that.
Noah, what are you going to do for the – what you're looking forward to the my meal on that um noah what what are you gonna do
for that what you're looking forward to the most i don't like and what are you doing yeah really
what are you doing oh i'm going to colorado to see family obviously nice where in where in colorado
denver oh fun oh jealous that'll be so fun i love going to have fun? You've got a lot going on that day.
See if they can make a plate for me there.
She doesn't have anything going
on, so could she come do that? No, but I just love
Denver so much. Yeah, you do.
We had a great time in Denver together.
We did have the best time. Oh yeah, you went
there. Alright, so Noah,
favorite. I gotta admit,
Thanksgiving, the food is my
least favorite type of food it's all just so
heavy and like very sweet the turkey i don't like the turkey so there's really nothing that i like
i always just either put like mashed potatoes and like salad and biscuits that's like what's
missing from it for you like what are you wanting instead of that like pizza i just i mean i like sweet potato
but when they put the marshmallows over it it's just like so over the top sweet i'm not a sweet
i don't have a sweet tooth so the food is like really too heavy or sweet for me have you ever
been a sweet tooth like even as a kid did you like sugar i don't know why i said like that
you didn't you weren't like a candy head?
No, I was not a candy head.
Whoa.
Because I'm more into like savory,
like hot potato chips or like Funyuns and stuff like that.
You love, she loves them. Savory is all over that Thanksgiving meal, girl.
Yeah.
Sorry.
But it's savory and sweet.
There's like the gravy is sweet.
There's fruit and everything. That's why she doesn't like it. It's fucking up her savory and sweet. There's like the gravy is sweet. There's fruit and everything.
That's why she doesn't like it.
It's fucking up her savory.
Yeah.
Right.
It's fucking up my savory.
Yeah.
So I guess if I had to choose,
Julie is reminding me that the stuffing is usually how I fill up on Thanksgiving
so I'm not hungry.
So literally stuffing.
All right.
You stuff yourself with stuffing.
I would like to say
that my favorite thing to do
and I'm just,
you know,
I always do this
with top one,
bottom one.
I kind of just like,
I don't pick one.
You break the rules.
Because for me,
Thanksgiving is about making,
I break the rules
and I break the rules
on Thanksgiving
but I actually think
I follow the rule
which is you got to mash
it all together
and that's why I love Thanksgiving
is like, it's a goulash at the end so I like
my mom makes an amazing salad that has I don't usually has blue cheese in it but not anymore
because I'm vegan but um she makes a great salad I don't even know what you put in that salad you
know what salad you're talking about it has like balsamic but it does like very thin like uh I love
the way you do very thin purple onions in the salad with romaine.
It's just a really dense, hearty salad.
I put a huge plate of that.
That's half my plate.
And the other half is mashed potatoes, but mashed cauliflower I really like.
Because let me say, I just like to eat gigantic amounts of food.
So I don't like things that are going to fill me up.
Because I want to keep eating forever and ever and never stop.
You won't believe how many Brussels sprouts I bought.
Mashed cauliflower
and then Brussels
sprouts, baby, with a little
bit of gravy and some of the
salad dressing maybe mixed in.
And then the number one
thing on any Thanksgiving
plate that goes good with every single
part of the dish, except maybe
the salad because that's a cold dish,
creamed corn, baby. Oh oh you want that creamed corn is the most i that and a1 sauce were the two things as a kid that was like this must cost a thousand dollars because dad was always just like you
have too much cream corn take it all the cream corn it's just like i then i grew up and i'm like
it's a dollar 29 a can i cannot
believe as a child this was rationed to me but dad was always mad at me about the cream corn
because he loves it he loves it dad and i have the cream corn is so freaking good and i don't
want it i don't want you to make it fresh i want it canned oh yeah i want it packed with sodium
oh it's skimping this year i'm doing easy easy breezy. No, I appreciate you picking up this.
I don't know.
Someone asked me, I guess it was my Uber driver yesterday.
It was like, what are you making for Thanksgiving?
He's from Jordan.
Did you say nothing?
I said, I've never made anything in my life for anything.
I've been so lucky to not have to ever work.
Lauren's making the salad.
She's making a kale salad.
Oh, that's interesting. Is she going to massage it?
Yes, she's going to massage it.
Well, that's really nice.
Hopefully she does it at her house. I'll sing the national
anthem before we eat for you
guys. I'll sing anti-hero.
I don't know what I'm bringing
to the table literally on Thanksgiving
except my spirit.
I'll pay for some of it.
We're so excited about you singing and being at the parade and finding out today that we
get to ride in a trolley behind you.
Yeah.
It's going to be so fun.
No eye contact with me.
Why?
Because I'm the Grand Marshal and I'm not like you on the trolley.
I'm just kidding.
I got it.
Yeah.
Okay.
I don't know how long it is. God, it's long really probably an hour i mean i it's
tempting to go on that trolley but then we're stuck on the trolley yes i'm gonna have presents
for the kids i bought a barbie for poppy i hope she's not listening to the podcast i know she's
four but she's a huge fan um i brought a bought a barbie for her that's a full figured barbie
okay it's a fat it's a fat barbie all right and i was like i love this that's a full-figured Barbie. Okay. It's a fat, it's a fat Barbie.
All right.
And I was like,
I love this.
She's a fat vet,
not a veteran.
Like,
that would be
a very inclusive Barbie
if it was a fat veteran,
but I was at DSW
this weekend
in the mall in Providence
picking up some shoes
last minute for my outfit
and I saw a fat Barbie
and I go,
this is awesome.
Awesome.
I wish I had fat Barbies.
Like,
she's not even fat.
I'm saying fat without any judgment, by the way.
I think fat is,
people should identify as fat
and it shouldn't mean anything bad.
I think the idea that,
I was talking about Taylor's.
That fat means something bad.
You can just be fat
and that doesn't mean that you're bad.
Or if, I'm trying to talk about it in my act right now.
I've heard you talk about this. If you say someone's ugly, people go, or if you'm trying to talk about it in my act right now i've heard if you say someone said you say someone's ugly people go or if you say ugly is a harsh word i will admit that
and so is fat but fat i like the fat acceptance movement has made the word fat be like i'm just
people are just like i'm fat and that's the word for it it's almost like little person where you
go that sounds more insulting than the other word we can't say little but little person is just the
way they like to be referred to right and i like that fat people are like yeah i'm just fat it doesn't mean anything it doesn't mean i'm
a bad person i'm just fat it's like who cares they're owning it but ugly is another thing that
people can't you can't call someone ugly because people go no it's like but some people are ugly
and they and as someone i'm i don't think i'm ugly some days i feel ugly if i look ugly and i
say i'm ugly people can't say you're not ugly. And it's like, but I should be able to be ugly
because I probably,
I could be ugly someday.
I could fall into a fire.
Maybe someday,
but you're not right now.
But that's my problem
is when people go,
you're not.
No.
And then it makes me feel like
that's something I shouldn't be ever.
And if I was,
it would be a bad thing.
And it shouldn't be,
you should be allowed to be ugly.
You should be allowed to be fat.
You shouldn't be, you know, all of these ugly. You should be allowed to be fat. You shouldn't be,
you know,
all of these things that we sometimes,
there's something in our society
that equates ugly or fat with bad.
And,
or like you're morally wrong.
There's something weak about your character.
There's something shifty about you.
Like ugly,
ugly people get paid less.
I mean,
across the board,
there've been studies.
And I wish,
I know it's working for me. Well, ugly's working for you. I mean, across the board, there've been studies and I wish people could just be- I know, it's working for me.
Well, I'll at least work it for you.
I'm not making as much money as I could.
No, I just think that that should be a thing you should be able to say, or I should be,
now there's this whole movement right now where they're taking the word anti-aging out of
everything because it's going to be crazy to see things that say, someday we're going to be like,
can you believe
they sold things as anti-aging?
A thing that's inevitable
for all of us.
They were telling us
not to do.
And it is bonkers
that like anti-wrinkle,
anti-aging.
And I love that
that kind of thing
is changing.
And we'll talk about that
more next week.

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 is returning for another season.
We've asked an entirely new set of guests

Delaney Rowe,
and Cord Jefferson.

I'm Ellie Flynn, an investigative journalist,
and this is my journey deep into the adult entertainment industry.
I really wanted to be a player boy in my adult.
He was like, I'll take you to the top, I'll make you a star.
To expose an alleged predator and the rotten industry he works in.
It's honestly so much worse than I had anticipated.
We're an army in comparison to him.

And what I heard wasn't good.
You really f***ed last night.
It felt like I lived most of my life in a blackout. I was trapped
in addiction. You had to grab the lamp and smash it against the walls. And then I decided I wanted
to tell my own story. Listen to Crumbs on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you
