The Nikki Glaser Podcast. Here's Nikki. Hello, here I am. It's the Nikki Glaser Podcast.
Starting point is 00:02:18 Welcome to the show. Let's just get right into it. I'm feeling a little stuffy in the head. I have like an ear infection right now, guys. So, if I seem just kind of like gross sounding, that's what's going on. But I'm feeling fine. Especially because I'm so excited about our guest today. You know how I feel about this person because I talk about her all the time.
Starting point is 00:02:40 She's like the funniest person I know. And she's also just getting prettier and prettier every week. And it's bothersome, but I'm also happy about it and she probably won't take that compliment because she never does it's the funniest person I know Rachel Feinstein thank you hi oh my god you look so good we both have layered necklaces on like we're trying like how is your layered necklace journey been because it I know you and this is not an easy thing for us to do no it's always how do they I feel like there's always a delicate type of woman just some woman that fucking grew up in Maine with a father that was protective and she all and she doesn't have these strings like the back comes from the front and people and people clean me throughout the day
Starting point is 00:03:20 usually have like a sticker I had like a reformation tag on my dress. I had a tag on my shirt the other day. I was, I was doing a show and I think it was Burlington, Vermont. And I just bought a new outfit at urban outfitters that day, like half price. Like it was like the whole outfit was $15. I was very proud of myself.
Starting point is 00:03:39 And then I, but I was wearing a shirt for the first part and I took it off at the very beginning of my set. Like I took out this t-shirt and I had on this like cute top underneath and it had a tag on it. And the whole crowd, like I could just feel the, like they were off. You know, like sometimes you feel the crowds off and you're like, is something on my face? And they're like, no, you're just not funny. But I could just tell something was off.
Starting point is 00:03:58 And then finally I just kind of like was like feeling behind my head and I was like, oh, this tag is still on. And then they all were like, oh, oh the relief and this was 20 minutes later and i go how many of you already saw the tag and they all cheered so loud and i go and then later on they go we thought it was part of the bit like that is not a bit what was i gonna do that would be a constructed joke. It makes people think that you made up like that, like some writers came up with this wacky idea. It's hilarious. It happens a lot. I mean, you've been on stage. Your camel toe story is one of my favorites. Yes, I was on. Thank you, Nikki. I was on stage in Alabama. And this guy stood up in the middle of my show. And he was like, you have a camel toe. That was a moment in my life that i was expected to just live through and keep living after that and then this other woman stood up across the room
Starting point is 00:04:51 and she was like no she doesn't have a camel toe you know i felt the same thing at first so then it was like a town hall meeting about my crotch and they all were disagreeing and saying that one woman goes it's the way the light is smacking on her trousers. I still think about how she called my pants trousers. But yeah, I usually have- Do you prefer someone telling you, like there's no delicate way to tell someone, like let's say we're at the cellar and we're in one of the booths
Starting point is 00:05:18 and we're all like, you're telling a story and we're all engaged and you're like feeling like on and you're like feeling in the moment. And someone, there's no comfortable way for me to tell you you have to bully in your teeth without making you feel so insecure like i've been trying to perfect a way to tell people they have something without making them feel to without making them lose their spark because it takes you but at the same time their spark is going to be lost as people stare at that thing in their teeth the entire story if there's a smear of broccoli on your dumb tooth yeah your spark is going to be lost as people stare at that thing in their teeth the entire
Starting point is 00:05:45 story. No, it's going to be derailed if there's a smear of broccoli on your dumb tooth. Yeah, your spark is already fucking gone. It's not lit. No, I'll take it anyway. And people, I rely on that service of people cleaning and picking things off me. So at this point, I barely hear like the voice or how it's said. I'm just like very grateful for a team of people cleaning me and rinse you know I was in a
Starting point is 00:06:06 pool with Mark Norman and Shane Gillis which doesn't sound like like sort of a good story but we were we were about to do a show together we snuck into this hotel pool um and like you know how when you go swimming like a booger can dislodge and like come down your face like a giant booger was down my face and I'll never like it still haunts me that shingles is like you have a huge booger it was just like for some reason it just made which is not boogers are not inherently but everyone has them it's just your collect you're collecting dust it's not even like necessarily your own mucus it's just like the world's crap floating around you and you're sniffing it in but it is so embarrassing to have a booger situation but i guess there are some people in the world that just don't have that
Starting point is 00:06:51 like there are certain girls i think you and i both have this like fantasy of these women that have perfect lives and just always smell good like i recently i've been sitting on stage no one's ever told me i've smelled good because that's true no one has ever I realized this no one's ever been like like when they hug you and be like you smell good like ever I always try to imitate like uh like a couple girls that I was very jealous of in high school that just had a natural delicateness to them and like those fathers that would go you know I always talk about how my husband never puts his hand on my back like nobody's ever just like you know carried me through a room. Like nobody's ever put me in a cab and referred to me as like precious
Starting point is 00:07:28 cargo. Everyone's like, she'll get there. You're good. I'll see you over there. Your stuff with your husband is so, I mean, it,
Starting point is 00:07:36 it really resonates with me. Cause I have a boyfriend who is very similar in the way that like this weekend, actually, Rachel, I was, I had, there was a victory moment for me because I've been obsessed. you aren't following rachel on instagram she puts up the funniest stuff
Starting point is 00:07:49 she's so every single clip of yours is always funny and i it's what i tell this to people all the time you know i when i see someone oh i go oh i watch your clips i need to let them know because we're just flooded with just stand-up clips and podcast clips and it's rare that i find someone i watch all at 100 of their stuff but i look so forward to anything you put out because it's always just so cutting and honest and so funny but you had this bit and i think if you go back on our instagram it's it because i've shown it to so many people i know how to find it it's the one where the guy charges the stage so if you look up the one where it says like drunk guy charges the stage it's the bit before he even that's it that's not even the best part of the clip even though that was funny as fuck how you
Starting point is 00:08:32 handled that but and how scary that was by the way but even before then the bit before it is all about rachel and her husband um calling her big guy and chris and i that's his nickname he calls me fucking big guy and he acts like i'm weirdly insecure because i don't like i'm not into that nickname he's like i'd get out of your head about it if i was you out of my head no woman wants to be called big guy i say it on stage i'm like dude like a union trucker what the fuck i like i showed chris that as a kind of way to be like hey like don't do things like that like hey like isn't this funny like you wouldn't want to be like her husband calling her big guy right like it was me do you ever show pete something to like get him to maybe wake up like that stutz uh
Starting point is 00:09:19 netflix documentary i've tried to make chris watch that the other night and i kept being like wait pay attention there's this part that you need to see. And he's like, do you even want to see this or is it just for me? No, never. I choose all of my, everything we watch just to change his mind about different things. That's how I decide our entire Netflix thing because he goes to the firehouse every day and gets dumber because these like, I mean they just imagine having like man sleepovers for half your life so these guys put all kinds of idiot horse shit in his head and then i'm like all right i gotta have to fucking watch that documentary so i can explain that you have like
Starting point is 00:09:53 a list of ted talks just lined up he's like yeah like they're all obsessed with privacy like extreme paranoid like libertarians so like during covid just to fuck with them i told them that um i was like listen just so you know cuomo wants us to put a siren on our door when we have covid and they drop it off and they pick it up later and uh he's like i'm not putting a fucking siren my fucking door that fucking asshole could go fuck himself i'm sorry but the contract tracers they just drop and just says this is a covid home it's just a small rotating green and red siren i was like we have to do it i think we get arrested just to piss him off for half a day
Starting point is 00:10:32 he was fucking ranting about it all afternoon but i'm not putting a goddamn this is a covid home sign on my freaking door this asshole could go fuck himself. Well, like, I love the part of the joke, too, where because you like fuck with him and you like I love that part of your set is that you have so many like little pranks and like things you do like you fuck with. You share the things that he does that aren't intentional to hurt you, but that hurt you or hurt your feelings. And then you also share things that you do to like get one of my favorite parts of you is that you are honest about being desperate for like compliments and like affection and all these things like i was even the other day i was telling ryan hamilton about your vows and i think he was at your wedding but i was recounting your vows when you were saying um to pete that like you thought he was going to be dazzled by you when you brought him to like a movie set you were shooting some show or commercial or something you brought him and he was just like
Starting point is 00:11:28 and you thought he was just going to be like wow my girlfriend is like a big star and I get to be on a set and he's like humiliating thought yeah I was like I was just seeing him across the room like I was shooting this commercial and I was like I thought like he's looking over at me thinking like that's her like that's what she does it was such a humiliating thought like, I thought like he's looking over at me thinking like, that's her. Like, that's what she does. It was such a humiliating thought. Like sometimes I'll have a documentary of my life playing with thoughts nobody's having about me. He's like, he was always hanging with the guys, but still like she was a woman's woman. It's like, no one cares. You know, like I'll be at the cellar, like really razzing the guys and I'll be like imagining how he would see this it's
Starting point is 00:12:05 and then the guy never sees me that way never like there's a booger on your cheek so he was like literally across the room i'm i'm shooting this commercial and i in my head i was like what does he see when i'm like doing this and he walks over to me he's like can we get back to the room this is fucking weird it's taking forever he's like are there there's good snacks there like didn't give a fuck you know like didn't he ask where crafty was and you go how do you know what crafty is he goes i've been on a set before babe i played a goon he says the weirdest shit to comedians too he'll be like he knows certain phrases but he doesn't understand it so he'll like be in the green room and it'll be like uh you know there's somebody opening for me and he'll be like, hey, how much time do you have? And I'm like, don't ask comedians like
Starting point is 00:12:47 how much time they have. It's actually weirdly insulting. The thing with him that's fascinating is that like, he never, he really doesn't give a fuck because emotionally he's a desert. Like, and he doesn't think about what people think about him, which would be so relaxing. Dude, do you ever think about what your life would be if you didn't have that? Because you already have a piece of that. To be able to go on stage and talk about yourself so vulnerably, a lot of people look at you and go,
Starting point is 00:13:13 wow, she doesn't care what people think because you're just sick, which is a compliment. I love when people say that to me. You're so brave. You have so much confidence. I'm always like, oh my God, it's the opposite of that, but I'm happy they think of it that way.
Starting point is 00:13:26 What next level thing could you be capable of if you didn't care what people think? Like, do you study him and like get to like kind of see what that would be like? I do watch him because like, I mean, oftentimes he's doing something that's like humiliating to me. Like he'll meet somebody for the weekend on the road and he'll be like, he's the thing where he says people's names a lot to them um like because he doesn't know how to like
Starting point is 00:13:49 socialize normally so he'll be like you know he'll be like craig great weekend good to meet you craig you're a solid guy and i want to say thank you for all you've done for us this weekend craig and i'm like his name is jeff you dick his name is je. And he's zooming away. Doesn't give a fuck. Like, I'm like, do you want to say something? He's like, yeah. Comes out in the wash. Like, I'm like, that's not the proper use of that expression. Makes no sense.
Starting point is 00:14:13 It's funny. He cares enough to be, to do like a Dale Carnegie method, like how to get, when friends and influence people say their name a lot, but then he fucks up the name, doesn't care. Yeah. That's how he communicates. It's all like based on like books he saw. He wrote a paragraph on how he was supposed to interact because the rest of the time he's just thinking of like fires
Starting point is 00:14:30 and like building codes. So like the titles are like exhausting. They're all like how to get to the top of every mountain. They're all about winning, like how to manipulate people at parties. Oh my God. I saw Rachel's Hour last month in LA and like she's probably one of the only comedians that I would take time out of my life when I don't have a set to like,
Starting point is 00:14:49 I ended up picking up a set that night, but I was already going to be there. And so I was like, Oh, I guess I'll go next door. But I was already going to be there to see you. I was like, I'm just going to go enjoy comedy.
Starting point is 00:14:57 And Chris and I laughed so fucking hard. And I was hoping that he would kind of hear the big guy thing, except that now we say big guy, like I know that's so lame to like take someone else's joke, but like, and make it your own as a couple. It's not even lame. It's cute.
Starting point is 00:15:10 I think I've, I'm always so flattered when people do that with anything, when they reference a joke I made like four specials ago. And I'm like, Oh my God, I forgot about that. But we always, now when he comes in the door,
Starting point is 00:15:22 is that big guy? Is like that just like, it's so funny it's so funny right and um but this weekend i kind of stole out of your playbook because what i like about that joke is that you actually add on a part where you said you were so happy when he first saw you do that joke on stage and why was that so excited because i was like oh now he's gonna get it because it really did well and i was talking about how i walk in the door and he's like, is it pink gay? And he always says it with this like wacky confusion, like it's anyone's guess who it could be. So I talk about how insulting it is. The crowd laughs.
Starting point is 00:15:54 I walk right over to him and I'm like, well, he goes, what? They fucking loved it. I'm like, whoa, they're laughing at you. It's at you. They're laughing at how sad it is that my husband calls me big guy and how unfortunate that situation is for me but he thinks it's like that was because this weekend i was like i was doing this bit that i wrote years ago about trying to get my boyfriend to compliment me and i would like you know prance around naked in front of him trying to get his attention to say anything
Starting point is 00:16:21 about my body and he one time looked up from his phone and he just goes, body. And then he looks back at his phone. Like he just said, like, that's all he could give me. But to get into it, I said something that has been like a little bit annoying me, but like not because I do it too. But I think it's something that like
Starting point is 00:16:38 prevents us from being closer is that we don't say I love you or like, what are you doing tonight or like I can't wait to see you we talk in third person he goes I miss a gal a guy misses a gal a guy loves a gal like it's always like telling a story of like a Jack and Jill went up the hill like it's always but the audience laughed so hard I was like thank you for understanding how this is a problem for me like when the audience gets it and you share something like that and they respond to it, you're like, oh, good.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Like I'm not crazy to be a little bit like disappointed that we both can't say I and you. It's so satisfying to have them agree with you. It's like our final arguments to the world stand up. It's just like we rest our case. But then Pete will see me talk about him and he's just like, like what they loved it that all he knows is that they liked the bit he doesn't he doesn't know what that exactly like what he thinks it was a good job right you're welcome babe i'm like no but he doesn't understand the irony so it's he only gets worse and i keep
Starting point is 00:17:40 sending rachel rachel and i have both expressed to each other in private conversations of like how we like that tenderness, like that slight back, like lower back leading you into a room, just that protective gentleness that we've really never gotten from any guy. Not just our person we're with now. But I will just send Rachel pictures of like people in public that I see that are getting that like women, I've really sent you like five or six different iterations of that gentleness just to be like, because I feel so alone in like really wanting that so badly that I feel so good when I'm like, have someone to send it to of like, I know she will feel the same yearning that I feel for this. I want to talk about it when we get back from break. But have you seen the Harry and Meghan doc? I was about to say, they always say he was very protective over her He was always concerned for her safety
Starting point is 00:18:29 No one's ever been wondering What I'm doing over there No man, they're always like, she's good Well that's because his mom died And so he's scared she's going to die I think that's probably part of it But I want to get into that a little bit more When we get back from this break
Starting point is 00:18:44 Here with Rachel Feinstein on the Naked Ladies Podcast. We'll be right back after this. Besties in the Midwesties. I am imploring you that if you don't have New Year's Eve plans, why don't you come to St. Louis, Missouri and come see me at the Stiefel Center. It's probably one of the biggest shows I've ever done in terms of like capacity for a room and I really want to sell this bitch out and I want you there. So if you don't have plans or you need a last minute Christmas gift or like a fun trip for yourself, even alone, you know I do
Starting point is 00:19:14 free meet and greets if you are coming alone. And if you're a bestie and you just write me and you buy a ticket, I'll give you a meet and greet anyway, even if you're going with someone. So St. Louis, New Year's Eve, days away. Go get your tickets now. It would mean so much to me. And I hope to see you there. And happy holidays and all that jazz. Jon Stewart is back at The Daily Show.

Starting point is 00:20:14 Good people, what's up? It's Questo, Questlove. And Team Supreme and I have been working hard to bring you some incredible episodes of Questlove Supreme with guests you definitely don't want to miss.

Starting point is 00:21:14 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We want to speak out, we want to raise awareness, and we want this to stop. Wow, very powerful. 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.
Starting point is 00:21:40 I really wanted to be a player boy model. 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. Listen to The Bunny Trap on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:22:22 I started to live a double life when I was a teenager. Responsible and driven and wild and out of control. My head is pounding. I'm confused. I don't know why I'm in jail. It's hard to understand what hope is when you're trapped in a cycle of addiction. Addiction took me to the darkest places. I had an AK-47 pointed at my head.
Starting point is 00:22:47 But one night, a new door opened, and I made it into the rooms of recovery. The path would have roadblocks and detours, stalls and relapses. But when I was feeling the most lost, I found hope with community, and I made my way back this season. Join me on my journey through addiction and recovery. A story told in 12 steps. Listen to crumbs as part of the Michael Lura podcast network available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:23:23 All right, we're back. Okay. So did you watch the, Noah as well, have you seen any of the Harry and Meghan Netflix docuseries? Just saw the controversial clip that everybody's talking about. Yes, the one where she's doing the curtsy? Yes. Oh, it's so good.
Starting point is 00:23:39 Rachel, have you seen that? Every frame. Oh my God, how good is his face in that? I put it on my story yesterday you guys if you want to check it out or actually it'll be gone by now but i saw that when he was doing that that when she did that and he was furious oh he looked he looks to the side like is this almost over which i by the way i know that men have made that face next to me a million times as i'm acting out something that i know by the way she knew that pisses him off. Like that was such a perfect interaction of a couple.
Starting point is 00:24:07 So if you don't know, she's doing an impression of how she curtsied the first time she met the queen. Cause she thought she was like, she's making fun of the Royal family and how dumb all of this stuff is. And she is right. By the way, it is all dumb,
Starting point is 00:24:19 all this pageantry bullshit. It's dumb. And she's making fun of like how they taught her to curtsy. And then she meets the queen and she's like, and I literally went like this and she bends making fun of like how they taught her to curtsy and then she meets the queen and she's like and i literally went like this and she bends down to be like oh you know like and curtsies and it's so slow and awkward and he's sitting next to her in this interview and he looks over to the right to kind of look at a producer like and then he looks down like his face goes through so many different emotions that he tries to smile to get out of it. But you know she was doing that because she knows that pisses him off.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Do you agree? Like I know. Yeah. Now that you say it, that makes a lot of sense. Why do you think that? Why do you think she was passive aggressive? Because she because listen, she's she knows she's right. This is how I feel whenever I just mouth off about being a vegan.
Starting point is 00:25:00 I know I'm right and no one can fucking really prove me wrong about it. But I know it upsets people still so it's like there's a thing there's a part of me when i'm in like a certain kind of mood where i'll go off about something that i know that someone yes yes you know what i mean it's passive aggressive like perfectly and she knows that he grew up with that and so he's deep in his core he does feel like that's the right thing to do to curtsy and there's nothing wrong with it but he knows logically because he's a smart man that it is stupid that she is she knows he's he knows she's right it's almost like if you were to make fun of religion like someone who kind of like was raised catholic and you're making fun of like
Starting point is 00:25:39 catholicism they know now like it's all bullshit but there's a core of them that was like well this is my family you're talking about and i think and my mom like all bullshit, but there's a core of them that was like, well, this is my family that you're talking about. And I think, and my mom, like who's dead, like there's a part of him that was annoyed, but I just loved, I love that scene so much, but I really couldn't watch the documentary because I was so like jealous of her. And then I liked her a lot. Talk that way about me. Nobody's ever had eyes like fluttering towards me. Like it's, I've never gone through that period of falling for somebody where I always, cause the thing is I'm not able to keep that voice up. Like that delicate voice when you have to kind of hold onto when someone's falling in love. My voice gets real gangrenous and low real fast. So I'm not able to keep it up. Like I can't, I can do that for like a half an
Starting point is 00:26:23 hour. I know what you mean. I'm so slovenly and pirate like so remember the first night she met him she goes out and she kept like even though she met him and they kind of both knew instantly like there's a spark here she kept her engagement for later that evening so she had to leave like whereas me I would have been like I'll cancel everything for you like I, I'm going to move here. She like still went out and was like, I can't hang out that long with the fucking prince. Hard out with a fucking prince. Yes. This girl is masterful. And I am team Megan.
Starting point is 00:26:56 I used to be, I used to not be a fan of hers. And I know it's because of what the press put out there. Like, I am now such a huge fan of hers. She is so smart. If you watch the documentary this girl was already do like she was princess diana like she's already doing humanitarian work when she was just on suits she and she kind of brags for a minute about being like you know when my off season for suits i wasn't the show she was on in canada yeah
Starting point is 00:27:19 she was like you know i i wasn't looking for the next indie project That was going to win me awards I was you know flying to Rwanda To like do and this was before she met Harry Like she was already She was always like in that scarf And just playing with kids She's a good person
Starting point is 00:27:37 I know I like her a lot and she's smart Remember did you hear the poem she wrote as a kid She memorized that whole thing It was like really good. She wrote this news station about like women's equality and the soap commercial and shit. Oh, that was crazy. I mean, she got a soap commercial changed because it said like women across the country hate doing dishes.
Starting point is 00:27:59 And she wrote into like Dawn Soap and was like as a little girl and was like, why you say all women across the country, why can't it be all people? Men do dishes too. You're making it. And she got it changed. They changed the commercial. Like this is, she is a little tenacious girl.
Starting point is 00:28:12 And she, I love Tim Dillon. I posted this yesterday, had a bit where he's like, he was talking about how she was like, I was the smart one. I wasn't the hot one. He was like,
Starting point is 00:28:21 yeah, cause you weren't hot, but now you are. So drop it. Like, he's like, you had to be, but I liked like that she was kind of awkward looking and like I like her yes I definitely felt like I I felt like her old outfits I was like okay she was hot when she was like she started being hot when she as soon as she was in high school or like I feel like yeah yeah when she
Starting point is 00:28:42 was really little she was like yeah she just looked like a normal kid and so it's kind of satisfying to see like that she became like insanely when did you figure it out Rach because you keep getting better looking um and I'm wondering and you really do and I knew that face was gonna follow this but I'm serious like every time I like see you on Instagram I'm just like oh my, you know, me and my boyfriend are big fans of Rachel Feinstein's looks. And we share, like, clips and be like, she looks so good. You're just so pretty. But, like, it takes so long to figure this stuff out, like, to figure out. I had gangrenous acne in high school.
Starting point is 00:29:18 Like, I needed an operation for my acne. I needed to be awesome. Like, I had zits that were just, like, I mean, appalling. Like, I don't know how i was just i was hurling my body around being outside i've always had the kind of skin where like it can't survive many different temperature changes that's why i'm always fascinated to see people like outside on dates like we went for a hike like megan seems like you do that sleep outside in a tent with a fucking guy like i could never do that that would be it one he'd see me one day
Starting point is 00:29:46 in some fucking bold light some african sunlight and he'd be like this girl's gotta go she's jacked up noah also has skin sensitivity to the sun noah you're you have like uh you have a skin son issue too right melasma my my pores are huge i'm this i i hear what you're saying rachel i gotta say though that i think that there is some runoff ptsd from when you had terrible skin in high school rage because i think now you there's body dysmorphia going on which i'm sure you have to like acknowledge a little bit because you i know that sometimes like someone will say something like a makeup artist or something nowadays will say something that will like someone will say something like a makeup artist or something nowadays will say something that will like trigger you to be back in that moment.
Starting point is 00:30:28 But it's like, it just isn't that way anymore. Do you feel like haunted by that when it was such an issue for you? And do you still feel like, cause even, um, who was I, someone was talking about, I'm still that person that like with someone who loses weight is still a fat, they still feel fat, you know, like do you feel haunted by it? I mean, mean right now i could like i feel like my skin is okay right now but just like last week i was doing billy burr's uh podcast and i was like actively peeling like i was just like my whole i had to use retin-a so there's always a lot going on it's a it's a cocktail of things i have to do to like sort of patch my face up everybody stop stop beating off at home and focus on just cool your erections. It is tough.
Starting point is 00:31:10 But it's not as bad as it was in high school. And I'm sure, I mean, you know, I don't know. Sometimes I tell myself, I go, you know, you see it. Other people don't see it. And then I walked into the comedy cellar and I had this violent zit. And then Keith Robinson goes, why is Rachel's zit winking at me?
Starting point is 00:31:24 So, so mediums like that are always real helpful. He's like, Rachel Zit keeps flirting with me. Rachel, knock it off. Why would you go outside with that? So that's the thing. Also, when you're around comedians, like even if you're starting to get like more confident, not comedians like Nikki, because Nikki will take care of me and be lovely and say encouraging things.
Starting point is 00:31:41 But like, if you're around these animals, all the male comics are, I mean, they'll just, Keith was like, I got dressed. I thought I was fucking taking a few good risks. He was like, why does Rachel dress like she shops at Suburban Outfitters? Like that'll take her months. Suburban Outfitters, God damn it.
Starting point is 00:32:00 It's so funny. And it is, I will say though, that if you had a terrible acne situation, no one would comment on it. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, unless you were doing a roast or something, that's when someone calls out something that is egregious. But no one's going to make a comment about your zit if you are someone that you think they struggle with zits.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Or no one's going to make fun of someone who is obese. It's called them fat unless they like, but maybe if they were a little pudgy, you know what I mean? Like if it's a huge issue, you're not going to call it out. But I do know how you feel. Like I will feel, I'll be feeling so good about myself. And then, you know, for me, it'll be like, I'll be around another girl who I know is already prettier than me, but I'm like, Hey, I'm kind of in the same league. Or like, I feel like, I feel like I'm, I feel good about myself. It doesn't even matter if I'm in the same league. And then that girl will get up from the table or like go to another something. And then the people at the table with me will go, God, she's so pretty. Like,
Starting point is 00:32:57 it's so insane. Like the, the keeping praise that other people get will then, you know, really hurt me as opposed to something that maybe, so I think people know I'm so insecure that they don't make fun of me. And I don't hang out with male comics really ever that are that comfortable to make fun of me physically. I mean, you're so absurdly hot. I've like studied just a thigh in a picture,
Starting point is 00:33:19 just trying to like understand how it's like. I have my dad's legs like this. I realized the stuff that I get complimented for where people are like, Oh my God, what do you do with your legs? And I go, I just was born. Like so many things you're just born with.
Starting point is 00:33:31 You're not doing anything. Like I do want to know like what people are doing to their faces when they do really change radically. Like what kind of facelifts I'm studying all these things, but the things that people go, Nikki, you have the best legs. I won't take the compliment because I didn't do anything to get them i just i have my dad's legs like i was just born with them
Starting point is 00:33:49 so i can't even take the compliment which is dumb because if i worked for it i'd go well i just worked out that's all i had to do it's not even really me you know like i can't some way i'd figure out not to to deflect it but um yeah it's just i feel like every day is, it just, it changes of my, it's more consistent now of like, since I've doing these mantras of like, I approve of myself, I approve of myself. I've been saying that a lot. I always think about what you also say about like the girls that you think look really good. They can never hear it enough because they all work so hard on it. Not that it's good to keep feeding that, but I'm just saying the girl that you think, because people look at you and
Starting point is 00:34:30 they're like, she's absurdly or rationally hot. But you always point out that the girls that look like that, they're putting a lot of work in. So they do in fact need the compliment or they'd welcome it at least. Yes. Because they, because they're always just like caring more. It's my prettiest friends are so desperate for compliments and I'm always just like, but it's a given. And so I sometimes just have to convince myself, oh yeah, that's why people are complimenting you. It's just a given, Nikki.
Starting point is 00:34:58 But there are times though that I would like to like be able to not be like, we also live in a culture where if I'm like I look gross today people are like no and it's like but sometimes I do and that should be okay you know what I mean like the idea that it's like no you don't don't say that it's like I'm not saying I don't deserve love I'm just saying I look haggard and that's just a fact and that it's okay but people go no you're beautiful on the inside or whatever you know it's just like now i can just be gross one day it's okay but it's
Starting point is 00:35:31 you know you still struggle with it i am i was on uh demois the other day or a couple weeks ago do you know what demois is no okay so it's like this instagram account where they just do gossip about celebrities i'm sure you've heard of it or maybe been sent something of it. But it's all like people just write in about celebrities. Either they're friends with someone who's sleeping with an A-lister. It's just all gossip, and it's all blind items. Sometimes they'll say the person's name, but it's just all users submitted. I saw it's like noodling submitted for you know something yes i always
Starting point is 00:36:07 think i would never do those things like so i'm like oh god i should start going to magnolia so people there's like there really are five restaurants you can go to and you will see someone or like you know just like cackling like at some sort of day day drinking at like some perfectly impeccable fucking place yes well. Well, Rachel, you and I could absolutely submit to DeMont. Noah, you as well. Like the things we know about celebrities, like this is who's submitting is like friends of celebrities who have inside scoop. And so they, I mean, they'll report about affairs happening.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Like Rachel choking on her water at a SoulCycle. Yes. Yes. That is literally what happens. Choking on her water at a soul cycle yes yes that is literally what happens coughing up phlegm and a filings well i i've only been on it a couple times and when you get on it you're kind of like oh man i'm someone like the fact that what were your things nick well one of them i won't even say it was like ages ago and it was um it was i was like whatever that that one i'll skip and maybe talk about it
Starting point is 00:37:11 another time when i have more distance but then there was one the other day where so it's demois d-e-u-x-m-o-i and on their their instagram story is where everything goes down their page itself is nothing but demois the instagram story she posted like, tell me about celebrities' weird foods you've seen them eat. And so people are just submitting like every single, they saw Sean Penn eating a hot dog without the bun. They'll just like say, and someone wrote, Noah, you have the exact phrasing. Yep. Saw Nikki Glaser dump an entire pepper shaker on her seemingly dry salad. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:49 So I got a lot of people writing me about this and screenshotting it and being like, oh, busted. There is so much truth to this. I love pepper. Always have. As a kid, I hated the taste of scrambled eggs. So I would dump all the pepper on it. You couldn't even see egg.
Starting point is 00:38:05 I love pepper. I can handle it. It's not too spicy. I used to do this on salads a lot. I think this was probably around 2018 someone saw this. But the dry salad thing really bothers me because this sounds like an anorexic person, which I definitely do have anorexic food tendencies, no question, because I was for a very long time and some of them have carried over to just things I actually like but a dry salad I do not have dry salads that is something that is a deprivation
Starting point is 00:38:32 thing I think anyone who says they like dry salad is lying they're just trying to like avoid calories you don't you're doing that is not something I do anymore if it was a dry salad is because they didn't have vegan dressing or any dressing that I liked like they only had like ranch or something but I would not oh and so I would never do that I just want to clear the air on that because but it just upset me because I was like it just sounded like an like if I read Scarlett Johansson did that I'd be like oh fuck she's like dieting like yeah I get it because I like the the person that does that makes them sound like a little bit. It's not a good look. Yeah, it's crazy. But you I feel like I've never seen you eat a dry salad.
Starting point is 00:39:10 You you have the most specific orders. And and I feel like you, Nikki, a lot of her friends, they're all very hot blondes that eat like a lot of tabbouleh and grains and certain sauces on the side and oils on the side. And whenever I'm with you guys, I try to imitate your orders. I'm just like, okay. We all, well, we all have histories of eating disorders. So we all have like these very specific like things that, but I love sauces. I love dressings. But you do have dressings on your salad. I definitely do. Like it's like, it's, it's's very cute it's like the way Meg Ryan would
Starting point is 00:39:45 order and when Harry Met Sally yes it's obnoxious and I'm sure it is like a talk of the seller like of like Nikki's fucking order because the whole table is filled with different sides of things I tip very well whenever I'm this demanding I've gotten more lax in my older life of like okay so they put on the salad who cares like it's gonna be more than i want but like just eat it like just get eat what they give you but um yeah it was just it made me realize though very well and take care of everybody and are very lovely i am also so annoying in stores and restaurants people can tell immediately i'm from new york when i'm in la it takes them fucking seconds to be like oh Oh, you're here from New York.
Starting point is 00:40:31 I'm wearing like a black fucking cape. And I just, what are some of your demands? Where do you like shine when you're like in that way of, of being in a rush and I try to act like a boy than I am. And I can't, I never really fall in sync with that LA way of speaking that kind of like, Hey, like the conversation before the conversation you know like oh god so i feel like there's just there's a fucking little it just i just sound impatient i sound like a twat and then i try to overdo it after with the compliments and the tip but i'm apologizing for how the whole time i am yes i feel the same way about this conversation before the conversation i my boyfriend early on in a relationship coined glazer exits which is like as soon as i want to leave i just go i don't do a whole thing of like i think i'm probably going to take off i don't even know how that works when
Starting point is 00:41:15 people just kind of put their bag on their shoulder and kind of like signal to people they're going to leave or they they need to like announce they're going to leave and then talk about leaving or like a fairy godmother nikki is out like a like I just go and it's it's not because I'm like oh I got offended and I need to leave on a dime it's just like when I want to everyone has a moment where they go I want to go and I think most people go I'm gonna be like socially more acceptable and ease into the going I just go and it's not an insult to anyone. I just want to go. And it is hasty. And I do know that people get like triggered by it because abandonment issues.
Starting point is 00:41:52 And it's probably a little bit of my own thing of like, I don't like goodbyes. So I just kind of want to vanish. And then I don't have to. It's a good fucking Irish exit. I respect it. I like it. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Thank you so much. It's a fucking wrap. I always call an Uber to get out because I don't know how to say goodbye to people. And I over apologize. I do that too. When I show the Uber screen and I go, Oh,

When a group of models from the UK wanted my help,
Starting point is 00:44:22 I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry. I really wanted to be a player boy model. 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.
Starting point is 00:44:54 Listen to The Bunny Trap on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I started to live a double life when I was a teenager. Responsible and driven, and wild and out of control. My head is pounding. I'm confused. I don't know why I'm in jail. It's hard to understand what hope is when you're trapped in a cycle of addiction. Addiction took me to the darkest places. I had an AK-47 pointed at my head. But one night, a new door opened, and I made it into the rooms of recovery. The path
Starting point is 00:45:34 would have roadblocks and detours, stalls and relapses. But when I was feeling the most lost, I found hope with community, and I made my way back. This season, join me on my journey through addiction and recovery. A story told in 12 steps.

Starting point is 00:46:33 Rachel. It's when I play in like an auditorium, like type of, I always, it reminds me of school when I even smell a school. I, I'm just like, well,
Starting point is 00:46:41 I never want to go back. Cause I stuck it up there. So bad. Yeah. I'm going to have to figure this out with my daughter. But yeah, I had like – I was in detention so much I had like a detention dance. I just like had a thing. Everybody was like – I walked into detention.
Starting point is 00:46:52 I was like – Would you go to detention? You weren't a bad kid. You were just ADD. Yes, but I was also bad. Like I brought Whippets tanks to school a lot. Wait, because I'm guessing you were trying to make friends and be popular. Yeah, I loved whippets too.
Starting point is 00:47:09 I was a real fan. Oh, you did? What did they feel like? You just laugh a lot. It's like I can't smoke pot because it accentuates every quality I've been trying to erase, you know? So I like whippets. I want to laugh and have a fun, loving time.
Starting point is 00:47:20 If I smoke pot, I think um people want me to to leave and don't care for me but um i was pretty into but i i would get in trouble for you know for talking for running my goddamn mouth i've always been in trouble for that for mocking shit and um i had this teacher miss volo and i would do an impression of her she would sort of lunge and do this kind of lunging thing a lot of action phrases she was always trying to make history fun and using her body with histories she knew i I had an impression of her, so I'd get like a lot of timeouts and stuff like that. Oh, so you were like the class clown, like they talk about. Like you had... I was in trouble, yeah, a lot. I mean, my first high school, I was just
Starting point is 00:48:00 getting Ds and Fs, and it was like an emergency. There was like nightly meetings about me. And then they took me to this other school called Thornton friends, which I didn't realize was like a school where they sent the bad kids. Everybody called it snorting fiends. And so then they sent me to Thornton fiends because I wasn't going to graduate. And so all your friends from high school, you went to a new,
Starting point is 00:48:18 what, what, what grade did you transfer? Junior year of high school. I transferred. And then I would miss my old friends yeah I would pass by my friend Lisa Kaplan I remember and when I would see her we both drive to high school I was driving my mom's Pontiac LeMans saw Lisa tried to make her laugh
Starting point is 00:48:36 had to get a laugh so I tried to like do a like impression of someone driving or something yeah a UPS truck um and totaled my mom's LeVon's. And then it was such a tiny school that the police officer picked me up, I was weeping, he was kind of holding me. And I'm kind of weeping on his arm. I was hit on him hit on me. And he dropped me off at school. But there was only like, you know, 15 kids in this school, like, so my grades, so everybody saw me come in in the cop car and I remember calling my mom another example where somebody's not protected being like I was in an accident but I'm okay and she's like well how's the damn lamans shit
Starting point is 00:49:13 lamans she was always like shit Rachel you know I need that lamans I knew this was gonna happen I think everyone got into an accident in high school. Like you. Yeah, I got into. Well, I had a garbage man with my car when I was 16, like just ran over a garbage man and almost killed him. He sued me four years later. It was like a whole fucking thing. But my sister got into an accident.
Starting point is 00:49:41 I think it's insane that we let kids on the road with no actual formal driving instruction. I mean, you could just learn from your dad in a parking lot for an hour and then go ace the test. Cause you have a good day. And then you're just out on the road. I mean,
Starting point is 00:49:53 it would be, I would be terrified. I was driving wildly. Just like zooming into the night. It's amazing. We didn't die going rogue like that. It was a terrible idea. Oh,
Starting point is 00:50:03 do you, are you, your daughter, how old is she now about to be four Frankie is two and a half and um yeah she's uh she's it's weird that's like she's coming to life yes like she calls me sweetie she goes go ahead sweetie like when I leave the room I'm like she she dismisses me I'm gonna go to the cellar I'll be back in the morning she goes oh go ahead sweetie I'm like don't to the cellar. I'll be back in the morning. She goes, oh, go ahead, sweetie.
Starting point is 00:50:25 I'm like, don't talk to me like you're like an older waitress. I just wiped your ass. She's like, go ahead, sweetie. And she listens like that. She listens like. Just nodding. She's like, how's Stan? How's retirement?
Starting point is 00:50:40 You know, it's an adjustment. It's an adjustment. That's how she listens to me. Like she's been there she's she's just hilarious do you see do you see her being like intentionally funny yet or is it all just unintentionally she's great she does both i mean she has a lot of like voice she has a lot of faces that she makes in the mirror and she's definitely like uh she's a ham she also speaks spanish fluently and we don't speak spanish she goes to his spanish daycare so she uses spanish a lot so that's kind of funny like and she's always happy with me in spanish
Starting point is 00:51:10 she's like and she says ayayay which i'm like no spanish-speaking person said a racist impression of a spanish-speaking person because ayayayay mama like she's always like she's had it with me because she just runs errands around the room and she's like up to things you know i've become like an impediment she's like come on like i'm trying to do this thing i'm trying to put all your jewelry in this cart and push it down the stairs bitch get off my dick you know like i'm working yeah she's always doing some weird i haven't met her yet she sounds incredible are you having this like mourning period of like she's not a baby anymore like are you having is it do you get sad at different stages that they go into? Are you excited for the next one?
Starting point is 00:51:47 I am definitely glad that she's not like a little, because it's just like so exhausting. And then you're always like, oh, she could die. She could die every second. You're just like, she almost died. She's about to die. She almost died. It's just, she almost died. She's about to die.
Starting point is 00:51:58 So I, I wasn't good with that. And then Pete has no instincts with that. So like he would, he took her to the park one day. He, he was trying to put her on the big swing. And he was like, I'm teaching her. I'm like, she's six months.
Starting point is 00:52:08 She would have immediately died. What the fuck? He's like, I'm just teaching her. You know, you can't teach her anything. There's no teaching. She's six months.
Starting point is 00:52:16 They're like, he'll do stuff where I'm like, oh my God. One day I walked in, he was trying to give her a carrot. He's like, I'm teaching her about carrots. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:52:22 what a fucking carrot, you moron. I'm going to teach her a shit. What are you doing? And he's like, I know he goes, relax. I know infant CPR because she's he's a fireman. On the kid. He's like, if she choked, I would know how to help her. I'm like, no, you just don't give her a carrot, you deep asshole. And then do you ever leave? He like, he always puts her in a black turtleneck and these same jeans. I don't even know where he gets this stuff. He dresses her like Steve Jobs whenever I'm not there.
Starting point is 00:52:53 But it's a lot when she's a baby because I'm always afraid of different things. And there's been active construction. So I'm glad that she's running around now. And I like to talk shit pete's like more of a doer he gets you know he's like we did that languages of love thing and he's like he's like you know acts of service like an act of service who gives a shit i want shit so she when he was little it was like he was good at the changing the diaper like all that kind of stuff i like to talk so she can hang now she like says says some funny stuff. It's more fun. It's
Starting point is 00:53:26 not all this. It's less like just manual. And like, I had to take her to parks. I hate parks. Yes. A woman like pushing a swing. I assume she needs to be like rescued. It's just such a sad, lobotomized activity, like the pushing. It feels like you should be wearing some sort of medical gown while you're doing it, you know? So he would take her to parks and things like that. And now there's more like I can talk to her and hang with her. And I'm better at that. Yes. That's where I want to come in as a mom.
Starting point is 00:53:51 It's like I love that now that my sister's kids are like – I like talking to them. I like like when they sit down to draw and I get to like hear what they're drawing and ask them about it. And like that is like my favorite time. But like doing things things that's such an interesting thing like the love language is like I don't and I like buying gifts for that I like buying gifts and I like talking to them but I don't yeah that's the fun part but um I was actually like the you talking about like the CPR thing like does do you are you haunted by things of like this could happen and then what would I do like do, do you run a million? Is it constant stress like that?
Starting point is 00:54:25 Because even last night I was like, I live alone. Like what if I start choking? Like what would I do? And I was like running through like what I would do alone. I think I would survive. Cause I, I would came with,
Starting point is 00:54:35 came up with several scenarios of like, you know, hurling myself over a chair or just like thudding into the ground, just chest first. But like I, I, if I start doing that, like you can, there's a thousand scenarios where you're like, what would I do? Do you, do you, and that's what makes me
Starting point is 00:54:51 kind of worried about being a mom is like over worrying or becoming somebody who over worries. Who's going to hurt herself. But for myself, I don't really worry. I don't think about death too much. I just worry if people are mad at me. I think much more about that. I've never think about death because, yeah, again, it's just I'm too vain in other ways. Death might help you with people being mad at you because everyone's going to die. The other day, my friend was worried someone was going to be mad at her and go, just know that their thoughts about you will be vapor someday, just like everything else. And she was like, oh, that helps. And I was like, that does that helps. And I was like,
Starting point is 00:55:25 that does help me when someone's mad at me. I'm like, they're just, their brain is going to shut off someday. And every thought they have about me will go with them too. But I know what you mean. To merge those two, because I feel like when,
Starting point is 00:55:36 like when people were really worked up about in the beginning, when COVID was like much more dangerous and stuff and everybody was, I was so annoyed because I was like, I don't care about germs. I don't want the germ people to be right like oh god you're so right let it be a genre i enjoy like true crime or something like a pandemic movie like pandemic films like i don't yes final thought yes but i don't care either you and i are so on the same page about this like i when people go yo you gotta wash your hands after like i'll do a meet and greet and then i'll just go right for my food
Starting point is 00:56:10 after shaking literally 250 hands and having people like kiss my face and i'll forget to wash my hands it's just if i but if i touch a dog i can feel the dander on my hand if i feel something actively on my hand i will wash my hand but if i if I don't feel it, if I can't see it, I don't care. And it's probably why I'm sick right now, but I rarely do get sick. But yeah, I totally relate to that of like COVID made me, you know, everyone was washing their groceries and like wipings down things. And that was a real struggle for me to like pretend like I was doing that shit. Yeah. I can't, I don't give a,. I don't do any of that. I'm a gross one. I apologize, if anything, but I'll sip off anybody's drink. Me too. I remember my brother was like that too. I remember one time I was at this pizza place visiting him in Boston where he
Starting point is 00:56:54 went to school for college. Yeah. And this drunk guy came up just like some drunk, like frat fuck, looked like he just like graduated from like rape tech or some shit. And he walked in. We're eating pizza and this guy walks up to the window like he and my brother has a holding a piece of pizza and he walks up like this. My brother instinctively knew that the guy wanted to pretend like he was licking my brother's pizza. They gave like a quick like thumbs up pizza up to the window. And the guy was like, and he just licked all the way up the window just to ironically eat my brother's dumb slice. And they both were like, and I actually related to that moment. I was like, that is a funny thing to do. And I wouldn't even, it wouldn't even consider to me like how rancid that was.
Starting point is 00:57:34 No. When something drops on the floor, like we were at a show and I think I've said this on the podcast before, but I dropped my Invisalign on the floor and i picked it up and i i was about to go on stage so i took them out they fell on the floor and then i just put them back in my pocket and chris looked at me like no you gotta wash it and i go i'll wash them later and then later on i put him back in and he goes no no and i go it doesn't it doesn't i can't see it they didn't fall into a pile of vomit so it's gonna be okay i just don't care um i remember one time i was on a trip with my sister like five day trip or something and i forgot my toothbrush so i was just using hers when she wasn't like to brush my like every day a night and morning because i kept forgetting
Starting point is 00:58:17 to get one when we would stop at a gas station or whatever and by the end of the week i remember at one point we were both brushing our teeth together. And so she caught me not having a tooth. She was like, you don't have a toothbrush. And I go, oh, I forgot mine. And she goes, what have you been doing? And so I had this like weird moment where do I tell her I've been using hers or does she just think I'm gross and haven't brushed my teeth for a week? And I had to tell her she was horrified. Yeah, I don't care, though.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Like it's first of all, I mean, that's a little bit gross. I get it. Like I get why people go. He wants me to stop. I get it. Like, I get why people go. He wants me not to, he wants me to stop. I use his. And I'm like. You do. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:49 You make out with him. But I, but I, exactly. He does, exactly. But I've always been like that. Nobody wants me to mix my stuff with, they're always like, put your pile over there. Because they know it's ransom. Yes. He's always like, lay off my stuff.
Starting point is 00:59:01 Like, I'm always, as soon as I touch people's things, they become, there's a certain vulgarity for them. I remember this lady once saying one of the things that hurt most when I was on stage, I'm not name dropping, but I was playing at like the Hebrew home for the aging in the Bronx. I could hear this woman talking about me and two things that always stay with me. One woman goes, something must've gone wrong in the early years. I was like, Oh my God, that's so fucking accurate. She had a pin on her i'll never forget that she had a pin on her and she was violently shaking and so disgusted with me
Starting point is 00:59:31 and i think about how much energy it must have taken with fucking shaking like that to get that fucking right on her stupid lapel and just only to come downstairs and be so enraged by me she had fucking a perfect like aquanet sculpture peach sculpture on her head and she's just sitting there like something must have gone wrong in the early year like just disgusting and she also said i'll never forget this lady um she's probably died during my show but she goes uh i'm in the middle of my set and she goes there's a vulgarity not just in the language it's just there's a general oh not just in the language. There's a general vulgarity. Not just in the language, like a general just stench. She fucking had me down.
Starting point is 01:00:12 I'm like, fuck, she's right. God damn it. The worst, whenever someone asks me like, what's your worst heckle? The only thing that ever has stuck in my craw is one girl, a hot girl in the front row going, ew. Just any kind, like that's the old, just an ew from a attractive person. More than anything, like more than you're not funny, you're not talented, you're whatever.
Starting point is 01:00:34 It's just an ew of like, no one needs to know that. Like you're kind of oversharing. Like, you know, if I'm eating dinner and like part of my food falls onto the table, I'm a clean plate club person. I eat everything that I like and it will all get eaten no matter what. I've never had to-go containers in my life. I've never taken home anything.
Starting point is 01:00:55 It all gets consumed. I will, but depending on who I'm eating with, because I know people are so grossed out by it touched the table. I'll wait till you look away and sneak the piece of food back on the plate so that I can eat it because but I will not I'm I respect people so much who like if something falls off onto the table they're like not gonna eat that and they like put it on the side I could never do it's like a bite of food that I would want I could never do that I want to eat the way pre-serve that little Jesus cracker That they give Catholics
Starting point is 01:01:25 The little Jesus Cheez-It thing I love the way they lower it I love the way they like lower it Into your face That's how I want all my snacks served to me Just like kind of laid back gently like that And just had things plopped on my tongue Oh god someday we'll accept ourselves

I'll continue sending pictures of men comforting their girlfriends and wives and just different animals caressing each other. What was that, Rach?
Starting point is 01:01:57 I just wanted to say that that girl that said like, ew, it reminded me of those couples that are on date nights. And there's always like, I always feel so judged by that couple. Like couple like again the guy's got his hand on her lower back and she's like like i feel like i bring those couples closer together like yes they're gonna bond in the car on the way home that was fun you know to laugh at that fucking you know it just at that raunchy fucking broad for an evening but what a hard life she must have and they just kind of talk about how oh god i feel like they see me and then they just kind of talk about how, oh God. I feel like they see me
Starting point is 01:02:27 and then they just hold on to their wives a little more. I'm a lady. I should appreciate her. I bring her together. You guys, go see Rachel on tour anywhere you can see her.
