Every day Every single day Nope Chris is not Taking part in this We are out here Because i was at the um well there's a lot of reasons um we're we were here for the critics choice awards which was last evening last night did you guys see last day did you guys see what nikki wore did you see what

she looked like do you see the pictures in cinderella come to life i love your face i love your face noah okay that's exactly how i felt Nikki, on page six, you are number 20 best dressed. Whoa. Number 20. Yes, girl. Oh, my God. Were they ranking it? Like, are they saying best dressed?

Out of 70. Yeah, out of 70. Oh, out of 70? Holy smokes. That's good. But they really are ranking it? Or are they just like, there's 70 best dressed people in here. It's just a random.

Is it a rank? I think you're up there. It looks like a rank and you are number 20 who's ahead of me like who's right ahead of me I'm guessing that

what's who won like the Kathy Bates lifetime sorry sorry Kathy I like her Santa Clara University

I love her number one fan how do you know her she went to school because I went there. This podcast is misery to me. Kathy Bates. Okay, wait.

Who's above me? We'll tell you. Aubrey Plaza. Let me just guess who is the best. Janelle Monae. Janelle Monae was the best. Number one. Oh, that was such a good dress.

It was crazy. Your enthusiasm for it was unnecessary. I mean, I whispered in Chris's ear like, that's a dress. And then he went on and on and I go, you give him an inch.

Actor Glenn Powell. After, go on. Your boy. My boy. Okay, that's, what did he play in Maverick?

The most tense moment Nikki and I have had in 10 years was when I said, hey, I'm going to go, I'm going gonna go tell Glenn Powell uh that you want to say hi you want to say hi to him and I was just totally joking because I

was I was getting up to go say hi to a friend who was sitting next to him and he's like don't do that I was like yeah I'm not going to but I'm going to and then she's like no seriously no seriously please do not of course I'm not gonna go tell Glenn the most handsome guy there that I was like oh my god what am I even gonna say I was gonna tell him I was gonna say hi because gonna go tell glenn the most handsome guy there that you can't i can't wait to say something to him i was like oh my god what am i even gonna say i was gonna tell him i was gonna say hi because we used to see each other at the gym we went to the same gym yes because we were chasing the same body chasing the same body and he won he got there he got there first sooner and uh remains there but yeah he was there he looked good he did look good not as good as you looked i was even saying

to him we saw glenn powell who notoriously has been my like i was like god he's so attractive like i was just very attracted to him when i saw him in maverick you were into him yeah and not in a weird way not in a weird way i was just like to me he stood out like he's theo james level of like who's that like there are sometimes actors that get you you know my and i'm into theo james who is i don't even know who that is oh god no no i did not know that this was a thing for you what really okay so theo james it's the guy who aubrey plaza hangs like who's like might be cheating yes okay yes yes well i felt i felt like you knew that for some reason no we've all hung out together so much in my dreams good we've spent so much time on you know road tripping and just banging uh no but this guy glenn powell

when i the other day i was like i everyone on the podcast knows i've been really into chris's new haircut and just been like have a renaissance of horniness for a guy that i've been with for a really long time in a way that you just are like this new the other night you were talking and i said this on the podcast but you're talking about something logistic about like and i just think you know a good goal for us would be to you know have a routine and you know we go to dinner we have like you were talking about something like us living in la yeah there was something like and i just couldn't listen to you because i was like i felt like the way i'm sorry to say that this is a different way to feel than with your boyfriend but you know when

you're dating someone new and you haven't kissed yet and you kind of are just like looking at their mouth a little bit and you're kind of like oh my god i can't like i think i'm gonna get to do this but i don't like where you're just i started kind of looking at you like that and i was like looking at your mouth like god this guy is so fucking hot like it was so good it was such a nice moment to have but um later that week i was online and i saw glenn powell and i saw a picture of him looking really hot because the algorithm can read my mind and then they served it up and i almost send it to you because i knew that you knew i was into him but i was gonna be like you've got he's got nothing on you like i really felt that way and then we saw him at this

thing and i go again like my guy is just i'm so into this my man's look right now it's really nice to hear you just really you just really like me no and so that that that sort of yeah i guess that is like from like how much intimacy you're having in your relationship like sometimes you get more attracted to someone based on the conversations you're having and stuff. Anya and Noah, have you guys ever had any moment that kind of is reminiscent of the, um, where you, uh, of,

of the moment we had where he was like, I'm going to go tell him you say I, and I was like, please don't. He's like, I'm just joking. Whoa. Like you think I would do that?

Like you don't know me. Do you, does that, cause we have that sometimes of like these big misunderstandings where I'm like, you're joking and I think you're serious and you're like, are we even a couple? Because why would you even think I would ever do that? I was like, why did you?

I'm not going to ruin your, bespirch your good name to a guy who's- Nikki Glaser's good name? I'm sure he's a perfectly friendly guy. What I stand for is not good, but my name itself, Nikki Glaser, is a cool name. It is a good name. It's almost as good as vicky seltzer

yeah that's my my stage name um do you guys do does anything come to mind of moments like that where it's like do you even know me where matt some maybe misconstrued something you said i can't think of that i was i was thinking i've definitely had that moment where he either gets a haircut or there's something and i'm just like i cannot i can't believe this guy with these biceps is my guy like i've had that but i i can't think of uh do you even know me but i will it's just not coming to mind but you're you recall moments like that in your relationship where you've been together with this person for so long and they question something about you and you go what is this the first is this our first date like yes and then you feel so misunderstood noah you

relate to that yeah it happens to us all the time like avi will say something in jest and i take it seriously and then i like start like wait what do you mean the shirt's off you know and he's like no i'm just kidding don't you know my sense of humor how long have we been together yes do you have one to share no i don't think so but i will say that your your that that moment last night was very quick and you weren't nikki wasn't in the greatest like headspace i was in a bad for like hanging and laughing okay tell us all about it i went into it feeling so good so this weekend we had such a great weekend we were on the road albany two

shows friday or thursday and friday which is awesome because usually if i'm doing two shows it's in one night and we have to stay in one city for two nights so not the best city to be in for two nights but you know filet mignon of the albany actually it is beautiful like the downtown area but your portland was amazing two shoulder two sold out sold out shows in one night great meet and greet ass theater i mean how many seats was it 1300 or 1700 theater yeah 1300 for yeah two sold out shows in one night and you said they were really cool people too and the yes thank you they they were portland maine i realized it i the first after the first show i was like these people are fucking get it on a level that

you know there's been a few towns i've gone to santa rosa i remember was a particularly great crowd uh seattle particularly great tulsa oklahoma city where you just go there's something else extra like they they have a darkness to them that i don't have to ease into it like they're just ready to like do anal right away you don't even have to lube them up like it's almost like they're already wet for it whereas some crowds and i don't begrudge them this i come from one st louis you need to ease in a little bit like and that's fine i'm if you're not from those towns don't feel like oh she thinks we don't get it but portland maine they were just dirty right not dirty but just dark right away and then i thought about and i go that's where stephen king is from and stephen king if you really look into some of his stuff i haven't read a lot of his work like

i haven't read any really i think i read salem's lot and then i started reading this other book but i follow the subreddit called books and they often get into his stuff and he is the most twisted motherfucker there is i mean some of this like pedophilia incest like really gross stuff that i mean, I think even now people try to cancel him for stuff he wrote in the 70s because it's so dark and so twisted. But that's kind of a good, that's a good point about even the material you're doing right now.

Because I think you mentioned the word dirty. I think sometimes that's what people expect. But right now, what you're doing is darker than it is. You know, like there is is because it isn't just dealing with you know anymore i mean there's some of that stuff it's more it's more there's more like uh it's it's more dark than it is yeah there's been a couple it's new it's cool it is there'll be whole sets where i think i've mentioned this before where i just go like oh i didn't really talk about sex at all and that's kind of what people expect of me and then when you get into it you

realize oh my god sex jokes are such easy laughs because it's not easy laughs I've never said it was easy it's easy for me because I'm I enjoy talking about this stuff and it does it's not hard for me to talk about my sex life but it's um it just in terms of getting laughs it's easier it's just a place to go where it's like guaranteed because people love and if i'm talking about something sexual it's not well trod already i don't think because i'm usually talking about stuff that is just so out there i mean i'm not you're not doing it for a fact you were doing it because it's it's just a natural part of who you are you're open you're open and honest about things and you're saying things that maybe other people wouldn't be willing to say.

Yes, and that is also why I just got into it. I just did a – if you guys want to check it out, I'm going to be in this podcast called The Celebrity Book Memoir Club. I forget. I got to look up the name of it. It's Chelsea Alvarez's show. It's not Claire Parker. It's Chelsea Alvarez, but it's coming out tonight,

and we covered the Harry book. She usually only does female memoirs, but she made an exception's coming out tonight and we covered the Harry book and she usually only does female memoirs but she made an exception for this one and we did the Harry book and I love it oh Anya has it are you reading it we are reading it as a couple I mean not together oh my god I know I have a feeling only 15 minutes in I'm like I'm doing the audio Matt's doing the actual book he's not cheating and I already get it I'm already like oh I'm doing the audio. Matt's doing the actual book. He's not cheating. And I already get it. I'm already like, oh, I'm in. I get it.

Yes. Well, here's the thing that I just realized in doing this book club with her. I love this book so much because for the same reason people are hating this book, which is like, it's too overshare. They're like, we didn't need to know you that you had frostbite on your penis. We didn't need to know that you put a cream on it that your mom used to wear and that you smelled your mom in the room when you were putting a cream on your penis we didn't need to know that you put a cream on it that your mom used to wear and that you smelled your mom in the room when you were putting a cream on your penis and i love it because people do the when you start to have those thoughts about this book of like why did we need

to know this because when you share little details where you go i didn't need to know that it builds trust with your audience to go well then they're not going to hide anything else if they're giving me this little disgusting factoid then i can trust them in other areas that they're not going to gloss over stuff so that is why i really like this book because he talks about things that i've only heard comedians divulge on that level of um specific specificity of i think i said that wrong one i think it put it in specificity speth listen and Andrew's not on the show anymore someone's gotta pick up the slack charcuterie

sure specificity specificity specificity specific seriously talk me through this so I'll never fuck it up again specificity and then city specificity Seriously talk me through this so I'll never fuck it again Fuck it up again City

Specificity Okay specificity okay I'll never fuck it up again See I want to learn So specificity That I didn't say that I mean I did So I would like

Yeah so I just like that level Of like overshare because it just always reminds me i said on the podcast too that my when people are ever asking me for like my worst tackle story it's always just a girl going ew after one of my jokes and i go oh really ew does no one ever come in your you've never had tasted cum before and she goes i mean yeah but i wouldn't talk about it in front of people and that was like the most shameful moment of my life because she made a really good point of like, we don't need to know this, Nikki. And so I really like that he did that.

I like that you like, listen, I don't love every part of this. Yeah. But I do appreciate that you do, that you are that way because I think you make you and maybe I haven't read the Harry book. Maybe Harry in some ways have helped make people feel less alone when you're when people do that you are that way because i think you make you and maybe i haven't read the harry book maybe harry in some ways have helped make people feel less alone when you're when people are that open and that honest about things you know other people are thinking some of the same things sometimes not everybody is but it makes those people feel a little bit less alone or a little

bit less weird shameful yeah less shame and that's what i do appreciate about what you do and i guess what harry old harry did in this book is i call him yeah so you gotta hear the audio book for a little because it's insane he's like the past is the past but the past i love him because the past how good the best the first you already got through it but the the moment that i turned to chris in bed and i already said this on the podcast i I think, but I was like, oh, this is good, was the moment that he says, I bookmarked it. He said, I looked at Willie, really looked at him, maybe for the first time since we were boys.

Now, this is at his grandfather's funeral. Is he talking about his penis again? No, but Willie is what they call penises in England. And so this whole book, he calls him Willie. So it's pretty much, he hates his brother through this. And his brother hates him too like they that's sad it's not good this is they'll never ever speak again i can almost guarantee no and anya has any person have ever had a fall of fall from grace like physically looking the way they look like prince william has you mean because of how he's aging? Yes.

Oh, because of the balding? Really? Yeah, I don't mind the balding. I thought he was attractive. But he gives him a little dig just in that part. But this is it. I looked at Willie, really looked at him, maybe for the first time since we were boys. I took it all in.

His familiar scowl, which had always been his default in dealings with me. His alarming baldness. Oh, brutal. More advanced than my own. His famous resemblance to mummy, which was fading with time, with age. In some ways, he was my mirror.

In some ways, he was my opposite. My beloved brother, my arch nemesis. How had this happened? And so that's when I go, the baldness, the alarming baldness, worse than my own. I was like, oh, let's buckle up, bitches. This is gonna be good. And it is good the whole time. I was like, oh, let's buckle up, bitches. This is going to be good.

And it is good the whole time. So leaving Portland, Maine at 4 o'clock in the morning to then drive two hours to Boston and get on a flight to LA to land in LA at 11.45. And then I had to be at the red carpet by 3 o'clock. I was in great spirits because i didn't have to present an award i didn't have to do any interviews i was just there to dress up i already knew i lost the award because they told me that they would tell me on saturday if i won or not and i didn't

hurt and it's great to lose to norm mcdonald i lost to norm mcdonald yes yes if you're gonna yeah recipes and that special to me was so fucking phenomenal so yeah i was more than happy to lose to him there was no pressure on the day i just get to be with my boyfriend we get to go to this event we get to look at celebrities we i get to dress up i get to be with my hair and makeup team my stylist everyone is so fun i was like so excited and i started to hear this voice in my head that was like nikki you're projecting too much in tomorrow i was texting chris being like i am so excited i have no obligations it's just gonna be It's just going to be the best day. And I was like, you are, there's too many expectations. You are too excited about this. And the expectations were

not high because it's just all we had to do was have a good time. And I was setting myself up. I had this voice in my head that said, expectations are future resentment. And then I land and we'll finish the story when we get back from this break. Great tease. It's not the first time I feel that. 2025 is bound to be a fascinating year.

to bring you some incredible episodes of Questlove Supreme with guests you definitely don't want to miss. Now, one of the things I love about this Questlove Supreme podcast is we got something for everybody, every type of musical effort. We enjoy speaking to the people who are the face of some movements, some people you've seen on stage or TV or magazine covers, but we also love speaking to the folks who are making it happen behind the scenes who were the face of some movements and some people you've seen on stage or TV or magazine covers, but we also love speaking to the folks who were making it happen behind the scenes

and they paved the way for those that followed. You know, keystones to the culture. This season, we've had some amazing one-on-one conversations like I'm Pete Bill chatting up with hit maker Sam Holland, sugar Steve chatting with the legend Nick Lowe, and I've had pleasures of doing one-on-one

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 player boy in my adult.

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. So, 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. So, land in LA, go right to the hotel. My stylists are already here setting up a setup with the rack of clothing. And then my hair and makeup team is here all ready to go. Chris meets me in the val in the um the valet with a fresh starbucks that he got me i mean it was so nice chris you know i'm so excited yeah i get my hair and makeup done we pick out the dress which is gorgeous i had tried it on before to maybe wear to the people's choice

awards and it we we deemed it to be like too award showy for the people's choice awards which is more like fun and like kind of flirty and like pop you know but this is more regal i was like what other opportunity i mean i've i've no who knows if i'm ever going to be nominated again like this is where you get to really dress oscar glam critics choice awards and so i wore this like bustier like it's like had a uh what's it called yeah bustier where they corset corset yeah corset corset top and ba-ba-ba booms boobs out spilling out the top very um bridgerton and then um and it's beautiful and it's like you know you really got to suck into it but it wasn't like deeply uncomfortable the shoes definitely were they were too small they put my foot into it like a little wedge

but they were cute but they were to be fair every shoe is too small that's a good point my bunions like even crocs i suffer slipping those in there i mean this was these were so painful but it didn't matter because when your adrenaline's running your feet don't hurt i always say this people always go the boots you wear on stage the heels and. And I'm like, I don't feel, my body is numb. I'm having fun. I'm in the moment. I don't feel any pain. The second I stop, I step into the wings of the stage.

I'm not even joking you. I will be on stage for an hour and a half. Not one single pain in my foot. I won't even think about my feet. The second the foot enters a dark space where there's no spotlight it starts screaming pain it's such a psychological thing like mentally and i rip them off my feet and people always think oh you poor thing and i go no they just started hurting literally one second ago this is it's bizarre so as soon as the adrenaline rate wore off of like getting into the car and i have to lay i have to

lay completely flat the way she if you haven't seen. I don't think I posted it on my Instagram. Oh, it's too funny. I'll post it on the podcast Instagram. It's so funny. Nikki had to do like a reverse crunch leaning all the way back. Yes. For like 15 minutes of the car ride.

So it wouldn't wrinkle the dress because the dress was very wrinkleable. And then also the corset, I learned throughout the evening as I'm sitting down after the red carpet that never happened. We'll get to that in a second. I'm sitting the whole day,'m sitting down after the red carpet that never happened. We'll get to that in a second. I'm sitting the whole day.

The boning within the piping, like the metal that's in the corset, bent as I sat. So it bent and flipped up at the bottom. And then when I stood up again, it's just bent like this because I've been sitting all the time. So it was very smart of me not to do that in the car. So we get to the event. The red carpet closes at at um three three thirty is what we're told yeah and i get there at three i mean i could have gotten there at 3 25 and if it closed it you can rush through the red carpet i've done it before and we get there and the red carpet is closed which is not closed

there's a line i see people in line to go to the red carpet, but we are being told, you have to go downstairs to the basement. There is a step and repeat down there, which is like kind of the backdrop where people take pictures with. But I have to go. And I am about to cry

because I'm telling you, this was a fun date for us. And there were a lot of reasons I went and decided to go. But if I would have been told that I would not get red carpet pictures, knowing what I know now, I still would have gone. You just would have handled your whole day differently.

I would have. No, I don't think anything would have been different. I would have. I don't think I would have gone actually, because the whole point of this is to get a red carpet photo so that you can put it on your Instagram and people can go, wow,

Nikki's famous. And then they give you like, I hope you understand the listeners listening. I know that all of this is bullshit, but you got to know that projects that you do don't matter. What you do doesn't matter in Hollywood. What you make rarely matters because not everyone watches everything. People watch like two things.

It matters telling people that you're making things, telling people that you're doing things. They don't watch the Critics' Choice Awards, but they see an image of you there. So they go, she must be nominated. I once made a joke that I was filming a Super Bowl commercial. I wasn't. I thought it was a joke. People assumed I was in a Super Bowl commercial and thought that I had more value just because of the joke of me being in one so this is like it's all about getting that photo and and I spent I'm gonna say at a $3,500 at least on this whole endeavor not

to mention waking up super early flying all day the stress of this so 3500 all for this and then i get there and they're like there's there's a little um there's a ring light downstairs and a guy with his iphone 8 and you go okay great and i was about to cry like you can see i besties know me too look at my face in these pictures i am not happy happy. You're defeated. On camera. No, you look beautiful though. You'd never know. I look pretty, but I look sad pretty. She looks pretty angry. Yeah.

I just was looking at pictures last night in bed with Chris and I was like, I really couldn't fake it. Because I was trying to just be like, just look happy and let it go. It's not that big of a deal. What are you crying about? Because you didn't get to do a red carpet. Oh, poor Nikki. I was really trying to be like, maybe if I did the red carpet you know me i'm trying to be like it was meant to be i would have been shot on the red carpet or something like a lighting

fixture would have fallen on my head and i would be you know mentally handicapped the rest of my life i was trying to think of all the things i avoided by not doing the red carpet that didn't happen to anybody else up there you know unfortunately i was looking at some pretty women that i was like oh i could they could use a conch on the head not that this is like a like an equivalent thing but i always think because of the radio show and this doesn't really apply if you don't have like an outlet like your podcast but every bad thing that happens to you is also a story that you get for your podcast yes but i feel like the the story of me walking the red carpet would have been better than the story that i didn't get to and i agree it's really just yeah i know it's

just a silver lining no it's it really does help and chris you do help with that a lot of times because you have changed your outlook on your life because of your radio show i can tell when you bad things happen to you or like you can flip them and go this is a good story good radio story it's a good radio story and just doing things i mean in general going to this thing which ended up being great but the problem was i was in a bad mood about the carpet and then we sit down to go to the event and beforehand we're like in the the area where there's like that shitty little red carpet thing in the basement but everyone is there there's cold stone creamery like has a setup for people to get ice cream but we're seeing so many celebrities.

Like I'm like Seth Rogen 8 o'clock. You know. Who was the first people I saw when I got in there? Seth Rogen I passed right away and I was like oh my God Seth Rogen's here.

Well I saw Giancarlo Esposito was there which was kind of fun for me. He's in Breaking Bad and stuff. But then Johnny Knoxville. Johnny Knoxville was there. Laura Prepon. Who looked amazing.

Oh my God great. She's on the list too. Behind you. Way behind you. She looked amazing. Oh my God. Great. She's on the list to be behind you way behind you. She looked amazing. Well, we made a joke when we first went because he

didn't see her and I go Laura Prepon. We don't need to really joke. I think it's funny because you didn't know I didn't even see her. He was just,

you know, making a dumb pun and he was like, yeah, more like post pawn or something like I've just like about her age for Nikki,

but he hadn't seen her and then we get in and he goes, oh, I had holy shit and i go easy like he goes no more like lord what it was your second joke pre-cum couldn't call it no i didn't say that anya thank you she's a great example of someone who's embracing their pallor and doesn't need a spray tan. You always talk about like, I need more examples of girls that are pale. No, they're not like me though. She's not like me.

No, her skin is different than my skin tone. My skin tone has like a grayness to it and you can see my veins underneath. Hers just looked porcelain. So does yours. So does Noah's. I don't know about that. Is there a spray white?

Like, can you spray yourself white? We should ask Dita Von Teese. Speaking of which, There's a light color. Yeah. I finished the Manson doc on HBO.

Oh my God. I told Noah to watch, or Anya to watch the Marilyn Manson documentary. It is wild that man is walking free. For anyone who like, and Dita Von,

Dita, is it? No, Kat Von D had a party for him. anyone who like, and Dita Von, Dita, is it? No, Kat Von D had a party for him. I mix up her and Dita. Dita is not associated with Marilyn Manson. Dita's in Bejeweled, the music video for Taylor Swift.

No, Dita was married to him. Yeah, she dated him. Really? They were married. Oh my God. Well,

she escaped. She's not co-signing anything he does now because after you see that documentary anyone who supports him i think kat von d just had a birthday party for him disgusting do your research he is a rapist he's disgusting i mean what was your rising hbmx i only bring that up because you are talking about how sometimes when people give details of things like harry and spare you believe it more. There's this one part where Evan Rachel Wood is talking about how she's trying to break free of him and he whipped her, trigger warning,

with a whip from the Holocaust because he collects Nazi paraphernalia. He whipped her many times with this kind of a whip. That is a detail you don't just make up and pull out of thin air. That is a believable detail. He is a monster. What'd you say? don't just make up and pull out the air right is a believable detail he is a monster would you say don't you think he belongs in prison absolutely 100 i know it's it's nuts that he's not it's same with army hammer like get these men behind bars they're

awful did you talk about hatchet wheeling hitchhiker hitchhiker oh my god it was fucking the worst fucking thing we've ever seen in our lives i gotta say the girls chat which i talked about on this we were looking everyone's looking for things to watch for like girls what should we what do you recommend and carla was like hatchet wheeling hitchhiker y'all and then kirsten even was like oh my god it's so good and so chris comes over the night i'm like let's put on the hatchet wielding hitchhiker oh man and we could not believe it's a little bit of the I think no I think I would have hated it alone too

if I've watched it alone oh right I'm wondering if we were both like together or like you were embarrassed and then I was like this kind of stinks and then we were just like because I suggested it and said my friends had said it was good I didn't say which ones it wasn't it was critically acclaimed

did you see it no oh yeah i told you not to um it is i mean what can you say exactly what it was because it's a story that could have taken 15 minutes to tell yeah it should have been like a like a one of those like 60 minute murder things with a narrator who was like really good and compelling and instead it was just a bunch of turkeys retelling the same sort of story and sort of just like overlapping each other for you know an hour and 35 minutes and you know nothing was all that compelling it honestly could have been a 12 minute documentary where you just get the full story and you're like man i can't believe that was a moment in time how dumb they think we are it was one of those times where i go

i wanted to turn it off we almost got to the very end and you're like we got we got to watch the last three minutes i go this has been disrespectful of our time the whole time i don't want this i don't want the numbers to say i finished this because oh right they're studying you you got to walk out of a movie if you think it's bad. You have to get your money back. I didn't know that. If I would have known that, I would have been like,

oh yeah, definitely. Don't let the algorithm win. Well, yeah, I don't want them to. I'm mad we even got that far. But at that point, we were just having fun making fun of how bad it was. Just nothing.

It was like the Cecil Hotel documentary, which I found more compelling. I mean, that was a three-parter that should have been 13 minutes. Remember the girl in the elevator that saw like would do the weird things and that's yes yes that one's actually good that's an interesting story this wasn't that good of a story um and carl's like i don't want to spoil it you haven't even gotten this one part and i got to the one part i'm like it wasn't that good uh sorry carlo but i i just i i really resented the time the time it took for my life i resent

right now even spending any time oh sorry no no no it was it was bad do not watch it everyone or do watch it and let me know how much it sucked with me um what were you gonna say no uh anya phoenix rising could have been one part it was two parts they really like milked that it was a little too long and lingering yeah everybody's doing these things up or at least give the option hbo max to speed up the speed you know at least do a hulu for me does hulu allow you to do one yeah netflix is kind like that and you can get through it a little bit faster but um so then the people's choice or the Critics' Choice Awards, it is star fucking studded. It was insane in there.

It was. It was. We chatted up Wells and Sarah Hyland. I ran into them again, also hung out with them at the People's Choice Awards. They were nice to chat up. And then we took our seats at a table and sitting next to us, because we could see on the table people's name plates, was Matt Smith, which did not ring a bell to me, but he is a game of

thrones guy yeah well game and the crown doctor who the crown he's a huge year he was in a movie with jared leto that's a big deal that was chris for a second yes he looked like chris he looked like rob low so that was his agent he was the coolest guy of the night from uta bill he was great to sit next to he He was hilarious and yeah, the cameras thought we were a couple because at one point I was just like kind of,

I was just like leaning this way. My arm was like flush with his. He's a gay guy. I felt like comfortable with him. We were kind of like just broing down a little bit about. He was awesome.

He was really cool and yeah, they thought we were, they gave us a two shot and Chris was in front of me. Chris was right, right next to Kate Blanchett. She was right in front of me. Chris was right next to Kate Blanchett. She was right in front of us. It was insane.

He helped her with her chair when she came back after winning an award. He pulled out her chair. Convy. Yeah. Did she thank you? Yeah, she gave me a smile look. Oh, killer. You guys got to see Tar.

It's a great film for a couple to watch and then really discuss after it's why is it gonna cause some tension are we gonna go it's fun to piece things together there's a lot of clues in it and you're like wait did you catch this thing there because that totally corresponds to this other important thing this one's kind of fun i'll catch it okay would you watch tar with me yeah i that that that's the thing about the critics choice awards i wanted to watch all those movies everything everywhere, Everywhere, All at Once. Oh, man. Yeah.

I want to see that. That was so great. Yeah. And Brendan Fraser was, I mean, he was so excited. Brendan Fraser is unwell. Sorry, everyone. Physically? No, physically, he looks great.

He's emotionally a broken man. And he's crying. Like, it's just, I'm sorry, you're actors and you played a fat guy. I can't, like, I don't care about... If you're going to give Austin Butler a pass for pretending to...

I do give him a pass because I just do believe that when you portray a character, it can be in your DNA. Well, then why can't that happen to brendan frazier he played a broken he played a broken man i actually made a joke that was like why can't you know brendan frazier's not getting any shit for wheezing up there because he was i was like is he still playing the fat character because he came up on stage he was kind of like

and i was like oh he's doing if you give oscar butler shit for playing elvis he's still like has a fat guy and don't get mad and be like you're fat shaming fat people are out of breath sometimes so whatever so I made that was a joke that I was kind of proud of to you that I whispered in your ear that I didn't think you got because it was a little bit I mean we're not even getting it now no one should but anyway Brendan Fraser gets up there and he's he's like he's out of breath because he ran up there I mean that was it was just a dumb joke but i'm talking about his emotional state i don't he i feel bad for him he was sexually harassed in the industry he was put out to pasture and he came back in with this with

a couple performances recently but he did the mummies and then we didn't hear from him and he was really like done apparently he was the best green screen actor in hollywood oh wow like nobody could react to things that weren't there except weathermen with cold fronts and stuff they do really they're pretty impressive they are so but um and they're always acting like they're like kind of buddies with the sports guy god shit like they're pretty good actors that they all act like they like each other but bernie fraser just got up there and i found i think some people would be like it was so moving he gave such a moving i found it completely unhinged and that's fine i'm also that way like i get put on the spot sometimes and i just show up as i am and i'm you can tell i'm going through a

mental crisis i think he needs all hands on deck he is not well i was watching a man up there win an award that i'm like he's going through something this is too much emotion in this moment and it wasn't like the right kind it made me feel awkward i don't know maybe did you not what did he cry about on on winning he won an award i think it's the first award that he's won maybe okay maybe now i'm kind of ever really oh that's a good point i don't know that for sure i can look at well because he was weeping or was it weeping too much what was just too much and you know i love a guy who cries yeah it wasn't that he was weeping it was that he was so like like emotionally was it was that he had no ability to pull in the emotions which i just isn't the place for it

sometimes like let that out on your own like i listen i never do i begrudge someone having their emotions i like i love emotions and i'm jealous of people that can have them more openly i just felt like this was unbridled and there was no there was i see it was it was just uncomfortable i felt uncomfortable and i rarely feel that way i just thought you were cynical about the whole night this is what happens to me at award shows now i did it with the people's choice too and i said on this i look around and i go this is a middle school play everyone's playing dress up all of these people just want to be loved they all want eyes on them everyone's desperate for attention none of this is really about like telling stories and oh

everything's up they all they all they do is tell i'm a storyteller you're an actor you want to be rich you didn't even write it because your mom and dad didn't like you enough like stop this i get it you do tell a story with it you didn't even write it exactly on your mike white is a storyteller jennifer coolidge isn't She's just a comedic actress. Yes, we can herald them. We can celebrate them, but stop acting like these people are heroes. So I'm getting depressed in real time in the room because I'm looking around and I'm just seeing

and I'm not above it. You all know that. I just told you I wanted to post on Instagram so people like me more. I play the game, but it just made me sad that all of these people, even Jeff Bridges is playing the game. You know, like he's a little bit more sincere. He got like a Lifetime Achievement Award.

It just, it made me sad. Because I look, I look around me and I just see desperation from everyone. And I see fakeness. And I just see people having conversations with people they don't want to have. It made me not want to get up and go up to people and be like i love your work because i just was like it's because i want something from this person this person's already giving people so much

like i don't need to go get a selfie with jennifer coolidge like people just want want want because it's going to elevate them and it made me i don't know i was kind of having an existential crisis i think i have it in these moments because i also have the thing of, I'll admit it. I feel invisible. I'm like, I'm looking at Janelle Monae and looking at when they're listing off her achievements. And I'm like, this 27 year old girl has achieved more than whatever,

however old she is. I'm guessing she's like late twenties, maybe early thirties. She's won Grammys. She's what she is. They, the way they talk about her, she's like,

she's done so much. And I'm like, even though I've done so much and i'm like yeah even though i've done so much i'm sitting in the room i'm nominated all i did was like walk on stage with the microphone and go like this is why you should do anal sex and i like had a little ted talk and these people are like putting on performances and the lighting and like all the things that goes into these movies and i'm like i'm never gonna be as cool as these people it's kind of depressing me in that way but also it was depressing me because I was like, I don't want to be because I see how sad this all is and how the only person

that actually didn't seem to care to be there and was just like keeping it real. He was the funniest person of the night. And the funniest person of the night by far in his speech, Seth Rogen, a real, that's a real person who just likes to make things. Isn't trying to tell stories.

He's not a storyteller. He's just trying to make funny stuff i don't mean to take anything away from what you're saying i just have a different perspective on the night because i came at it from a different perspective nikki might have felt differently if her day didn't stop didn't start out improperly so uncomfortable literally uncomfortable sitting it was speaking of pen nikki sent us audio of the car driver who was supposed to take her from the hotel in Portland, Maine to the Boston airport.

She's like, listen to this poor man struggle with my bags. This is the audio of him after he got the bags into the car and it took him 10 minutes. okay this yeah the guy he really made a display of how annoying my bags were because he loaded them for like 20 minutes, two bags in his trunk and kept taking them in and putting back out. And I'm like, he, I wasn't even going to attempt to help him.

Cause it would have been the thing. No, it was an official. Well, the official car service to pick me up, the girl was overslept. And so she called this guy to fill in. And then we met her at a truck stop and then she got in the car and drove the rest of the way.

It was so funny. I'm like four in the morning it was crazy so um yeah i don't know i don't if i wouldn't have been deeply uncomfortable in my dress i think because at the end of it i go why am i in such a bad mood chris like i don't get it like why am i so sad about like i was sitting there falling into a deep depression during this thing and i couldn't and i go it's because i'm in pain like i was begging like when i was at the people's choice awards i thing and i couldn't and i go it's because i'm in pain like i was begging like when i was at the people's choice i was like i can't wait for the after party because i was in this like nice dress that like breathed and my shoes were like platform so they didn't hurt like and i was in such pain i was like i hope there's not an after party and i

and it was because i and now i realize if anyone out there listening has chronic pain it becomes so much a part of your life. You don't even notice what it is anymore. And you're just a bitch or a dick all the time. Because if you have anyone in your life that is just always a dick or a bitch, it's probably, and they have chronic pain, just know that it might just be that. It totally transforms your life life i do just want to say about the critics choice awards coming at it from a totally different perspective than nikki i did see a lot of reason that this type of thing i have no love for like i have zero celebrity

worship in my bones but i did love how much fun some of them were having henry winkler was having he's adorable of his life john goodman was loving seeing jeff bridges like get celebrated yeah there's there's there's julia roberts was walking around having a good time yeah um well if you're totally dismissing my perspective no i'm not dismissing there were people there that were having a like a blast with each other saying hi to each other and like celebrating and having a good time we gotta talk about great more of of this because there's more to be said instead of me and i just want to say i'm not comparing my corset to your mom's chronic like arthritis please don't misconstrue those two i understand the difference between my like bunions being shoved into like

pretty heels and you being like i have ms i I'm not comparing those two. I'm just saying it made me have a little empathy because I forgot about the pain I was in and I was such a bitch. And after this break, we're going to come back and talk about some of the more celebrity sightings we saw

because it was a joyful night for celebrities and there was happiness happening all around us. I thought so. I was just wearing an invisible cloak of judgment and negativity and I want to try to find

some silver linings because we did see some good moments. Yeah. We'll talk about those right after this. 2025 is bound to be a fascinating year. It's going to be filled with money challenges and opportunities. I'm Joel.

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, my dog. Lingerie, topless. I said, yes, please. Because at the centre of this murky world is an alleged predator. You know who he is because of his pattern of behaviour.

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. Okay, so we're at the Critics' Choice Awards,

which were three hours long. And at one point, they started shoving categories together. They were like best supporting actor and actress. And they would give out two awards. They would name two people and two people would come up. And the only person to call it out was Seth Rogen. When he got up to give his award, he goes, can I just say uh why are they giving two awards out at the same time like when did this start happening he's like just make the show longer this is on he goes i know you can afford it this is on the seat he was like i know this can't be

expensive television time this is on the cw at four o'clock and he was like the CW by the way which is the only network that has no nominees this evening he was like just give yourselves just give yourselves it was so funny again calling out the obvious always makes me happy of like and Seth Rogen I have to say is I thought he was going to be like hot like you know him he's always like high and like kind of like having fun but he was like you could tell he was just kind of like been through a million of these i was just kind of clocking him the entire evening like is he having fun oh he seems to be in the same position i am and then he got up on stage and he was hilarious and and uh chelsea handler was so funny i said she looked great uh she hosted it um who were some other standouts we were also seeing a table with

the other game of Thrones girl. Wait, what other Game of Thrones girl? Or maybe House of Dragons girl. I don't know. They all look British. There was another table? No, the young girl that was Millie Alcock. Millie Alcock.

Millie Alcock. I think you're saying it was another table. Oh, no, no. At our table. So we were at the HBO time. Kate Foy was there. She came over to talk to me. So we were sitting with Kate Foy. Kate Foy. Oh, Claire F foy claire foy oh yeah she's she's on the list too nikki was sitting almost right next to matt smith yeah and he seemed pretty cool and then that millie ad

alcock was there too sitting next to him and they were having a good time and then claire foy came over and started clowning with them they were laughing up a storm i have to say it's kind of fun a cool thing i noticed is that celebrities aren't that hot in person it is really something about what film captures on them because a lot of these women particularly i'm like that girl has an interesting face like i'm like she must be famous because i just recognize it like someone like claire foy she's not she wasn't like breathtaking even though i think on film maybe i'm wrong she just looked more i mean breathtaking yeah she absolutely face like that but in person she just looked normal not like she didn't look beautiful but she just looked

there was something about it that was like oh i just want to stare i wanted to stare at her so bad because she just looked in like her face was just, you were drawn to it. Julia Roberts looked stunning. Kate Blanchett looked so much like Anya. I couldn't even take it. Like she was getting her award and I go, Chris, she looks like,

cause I kept being like, who does she look like? She's never looked better. And she looked amazing. She was wearing a linen dress, like a khaki linen dress. It looked like it was out of like, yeah, that was so brave, but I feel like she's sitting on her. linen dress. Oh my God. Like a khaki linen dress. It looked like it was out of like, yeah.

That wrinkles. It was so brave. But I feel like, How is she sitting in a limo? Not on her. I have a feeling that even the fabric linen was like, we can't wrinkle today, guys.

This is, you can't do this on this woman. Because she was just, there was just an air around her. I mean, we were sitting right next to her, so we were in the air. I could barely breathe.

It was just like, it was just a vibe. I how she smells i mean a hundred percent um good there's no way that she is ever like like there was one someone made a joke that i have in my act was it chelsea yeah i think she said something about water she was like you know something about this film is about honesty and she was like not the kind of honesty where women say that i've just been drinking more water and you know that they're taking ozempic which is the diabetes medication that every woman in hollywood is on let me repeat if you ever see a picture of a woman who's suddenly thin or is just slightly more thin than they have been most of their career. They are on a diabetes medication that makes them shit and feel sick and puke all the time, but they look amazing. It's you will never look like them doing their exercise regimen,

doing their skincare regimen, eating what they say they eat in a lure magazine. Follow me for one week. This is what I eat in a day. They're lying to you. Their exercise routine. It's not that they're taking a medication that makes them not want to eat. Okay. Unless you get that, you won't look like them. Stop doing the regimens. They're selling you.

I'm telling you they're all, everyone in Hollywood is on this medication. I'm looking into it. No, I will not take that. I w I mean, I wish I didn't have recovery from my eating disorder or else I would be definitely trying to get it.

But I will not ever take that stuff. Final thought. What were some other highlights of celebrities we saw? For you, I mean. Well, I got to. Well, for me, it was like I got to see a guy I went to high school with win for Abbott Elementary. That was really cool because he was.

They went up to accept the award and he was in the bathroom. Oh, yeah. I had to name check him. So that was fun. Yeah. Otherwise, he would have just been one of the suits in the background. he was, they went up to accept the award and he was in the bathroom. Oh, yeah. And they had to name check him. So that was fun. Yeah. Otherwise, he would have just been one of the suits in the background. Right. But instead, they were like. He had like a big moment.

What's his name? Pat Schumacher. Pat Schumacher. He's in the bathroom. That was a cool moment for him. I'm trying to think of, like, there were some other people that I was just like, oh, my God, I can't believe it's Matt. Any speeches really stand out?

The one woman who won for Abbott Elementary who said, I want you to pull in the camera. She was like, no matter who respects you, no matter, they may not like you. They may not respect you. They may not love you. They may never like you. But as long as you can look yourself in the mirror and love what you see,

that is all that matters. And I was like, fuck it. Was she white? Like chills. Certainly not. Could you not tell from my impression? I was a joke. K you not tell from my impression? I was a joke.

Kinto Brunson or something? Yes. She was amazing. That was good, Nikki. I feel inspired. It was awesome. And I was like, that's what people need to hear because that was the one true moment of the night,

which was like, it doesn't matter. There was a lot of that. A lot of black women, like Janelle Monae being honored was incredible and then uh nisi nash winning nisi nash looked probably she was the number one for me that dress and her figure and like she looked the best and she was great and excited and happy and she said you know i was told i was always a comedy like the comedy world loved me and then you know

i always told my mom like mom i'm a dramatic actress like then, you know, I always told my mom, like, mom, I'm a dramatic actress. Like, don't you think I'm good at drama? And her mom was like, no. But she was like, you know, I always just,

I think there was a, it was, uh, this sentiment was said a couple of times from black actresses that were told, like, you don't fit in here. You're not. And I can only imagine being a black actress and coming up in the nineties as a lot of

these women did. They as a lot of these women did they a lot of them were character actors throughout the 90s and early 2000s only now has it become like we need to embrace uh people of color in film and we need to celebrate them and like push them forward but it must have been fucking hell back then every single lead goes to a white thin girl or like or you know like every single the other roles were probably just like these these like token roles that weren't that cool yes and i mean it was a celebration last night it was it was it was actually how did people treat you invisible no listen nikki wouldn't hear. I'm just telling you, no one cared. Not that they should have.

Nikki, you're a laser. I love you. No one. Yes. Critics were. Let me ask Chris Convey. Yes. Several people came up to me.

And that was one reason. I was like, let's walk around. Let's go say hi to these people. I love it when people celebrate Nikki. And we weren't giving many people an opportunity to do that. I was sitting at the table. Nikki didn't get up once from the table. Because my shoes hurt too much and the dress

was bent so it would have looked like I had a fucking laptop table coming out of my... It looked like an airport table sticking out of my stomach so I couldn't get out. So Nikki was like, you know, you would have to walk by Nikki to know she was there and you know, most people...

I looked like I was waiting at the DMV. My face was just it was it wasn't a good look for me you know i was i was just mad i was just sad you know like i hate to say this i i got home and i told chris i'm so sorry that no we got in the car and i go i'm sorry i couldn't rally like there were multiple times i don't know if listeners relate but do you ever relate when you're like you can you know the mood you're in is stupid you know you're being a baby you know that the circumstances do not there's no reason for you to feel this way like you should be happy but you just can't get out of it like i've really felt like stuck in yes yeah in mud i couldn't get out of it and i immediately had perspective as soon as i got in the car and i go i kind of squandered that by not i knew i was squandering in the monument i

couldn't i couldn't i was so uncomfortable and yes people did come up to me there was a lot of critics there because it was critics choice words so a lot of people that i've met on zoom calls that have you know are on radio stations and do movie reviews and i've interviewed me for f boy island a lot of people that i've only met on zoom calls, like came up and were like, Oh, we've done. And it was really nice,

but there was no, like there was, I didn't feel like a celebrity. I really felt like I was someone's date, which is not a bad thing to be Chris Convy right here. I felt like I didn't belong there, even though I totally did because I was nominated. If I would have gotten to walk the red carpet,

I think it would have had a more moment of like, I'm a part of this. But instead, I saw people walking the red carpet. I was told, you, it felt like you're not famous enough. We aren't going to make an exception for you. Go to the basement. And I just, and that's so dumb. I should just have let it, be able to let it go.

It's so hard. Everybody knows how hard it is to rally, even when you know that you should, even in that moment, it's really hard. I was just sad because Nikki didn't give other people an opportunity to celebrate her because you know people were going up to each other talking about how much they loved each other and yeah nikki was stuck in a seat buried in you know like in between jennifer coolidge and henry winkler and kate planchette yeah jennifer coolidge was there me and jennifer were the only ones that didn't get up the

whole time yeah she sat down too i kept looking to see if she got up and i knew she didn't get up because she would have been hounded but i was like if she doesn't get up i don't have to get up and it was really about my shoes they just hurt too much but people did come up to nikki and did go out of their way to tell nikki how much they loved her and have greater dress though like shoes anyone like make you not want to walk to go get a diet coke like they it felt like putting on like putting my feet in bear traps is like what fashion what don't they have waiters they did and we got good food though too there was good hummus and like i don't know what i ate great but i took it off of three people's plates yeah we stole off matt smith's plate um when he got up and then there

was a good ice cream that they passed around like so i was having fun like eating my feelings and kind of um just whispering little barbs here and there but julie roberts looks stunning she was right behind me at one point like if i would have just knocked my head back i would have hit her with my head like she was right behind me um i felt like i was like please i want her to bump into me just to say I touched her. There was some other really, really... James Cameron was there. James Cameron was there. Austin Butler was there, who, by the way, I am.

I love Austin Butler. Chris did one of the funniest things over the weekend. I did play it for Anya. Can we just reference it? Anya, you heard it. What? Yeah. On Chris's radio show the other morning,

they were talking about Austin Butler saying, you know, this Elvis voice, it's just, it's in my DNA. Like, I guess Mario Lopez called him out on the red carpet and was like, come on, man. Like, the voice, you're still doing it? And he's like, you know, when you talk like this for four years for a part, like, it just becomes a part of your DNA. And I... And women all over the country are buying it. No, not all of us. This handsome guy is trying to act like the coolest

guy of all time and everybody's like totally makes sense it's it's a part of his dna i've related to elvis now yeah yeah it's like oh a really good looking guy lowers his voice which by the way everybody knows like in studies that if you want to like people to respect you and like you and be attracted to you you lower your voice yeah you just elizabeth holmes and so he did it and it is working on everybody everybody's like yeah of course i'm enchanted by it yeah and so i but if you're if you're if your friend from high school goes to wait hold on wait for this whole analogy because it's good so chris is on this radio show and they're like you know i couldn't even i literally turned it off because i could hear courtney was already like this is bullshit and i was, no one is going to stand up for this guy.

Because I am someone who morphs into people. If I am around Australians, I start, like, talking like this, like, a little bit. Like, it's just, if you admire something, you, like, start talking like it. I really do think if I did a role and was in that character, I would have, I would walk away with part of it. So I relate. And I think that at this point he's been made fun of so much why wouldn't he go back to his normal voice it's like i guess he will slowly but anyway so i turned off because i didn't want to hear sometimes on their show if i have a dissenting if they start like liking brad pitt i just turn it off because

i'm like i hate brad pitt based on the abuse allegations that i've read about and so i just turn it off and then turn it back on when they are talking about something i agree with because i can only echo chamber you know and so i turned it off and i just wrote to chris i'm team butler i think i think it's legit like i think it's okay that he still talks like him and then chris later that night we have this thing where we can only we have this so we're really into the show i think you should leave tim robinson's show on netflix and there's this we're obsessed with it obsessed there's this one sketch where he is a folk singer in a band in like the 50s in the 50s and the lead singer of the band is trying to get a record deal and he plays this song and they're like we're just not looking there for that kind of music and he goes oh you're looking for something else okay what about this and he's like he starts playing the

song and then the record exec is kind of like whoa and then tim robinson's character who he's like he starts playing the song and then the record exec is kind of like whoa and then tim robinson's character who he's like the bassist in the background and he and the guy the lead singer just goes like follow my lead and so he starts singing the song like about it sounds like a johnny cash it sounds like a johnny cash song and from tim robinson's perspective it's like he's making it up as he's going along yeah he's like oh the lead singer's making the song up like let's make up a song together and like wow these execs and then he just cuts in with like about he cuts in with a storyline that has nothing to do with the lead singer's storyline about skeletons coming out of the graves um because the bones are their money and worms are their and so he just does this whole song where he's like the worm the bones are their money the worms are their dollars and it's that's

like the the melody of the song you gotta watch it to understand it and even then i don't think that you know i understand your t-shirt by the way because you haven't are there yes that was a reference it takes 10 listens to understand the nuances and how funny it is but it's the funniest thing i hated the sketch the first time i saw it and then the second time i was like this might be the most genius thing and then i have watched it a million times. So the melody is, the bones are, and Anya's pretty, Anya,

you watching it five times means there's something there. So the bones are their money. The worms are their dollar. And so I started, Chris and I started having conversations where we would do it

in that melody but we realized it was only things that were like too hard to talk about in regular. So Nikki would be like, maybe we should move in together. I think that it's time. I feel like we can get

a bigger place. I feel like it's a natural transition for us. I'm not saying we should get married. But maybe get a bird and so um so we were laughing that that's that's like a really good way for us to convey like heavier topics to each other because that song makes us laugh so much and it makes us feel safe it's like our inside joke so then chris was like over the weekend he goes i have an idea just in

the same line of like you and I, you know, communicate really heavy topics to each other with this like song. I think we should also be able to like be critical of one another using the Bill Burr voice of like, and we also send each other Bill Burr clips all the time. And so Chris, I go and I wrote back to it,

not wrote back. We were leaving voice memos and I go, first of all I'm really scared that you want to tell me something and you're gearing up to like confront me like what do you need to criticize me about I was so nervous I was on the road I was like okay I totally am into this and he sounded it didn't sound like he was in a bad mood like he was about to confront me so I was like what is the thing you need to be critical and it was really sweet you were like first of all I don't think there's anything to criticize about you at all there's your well there's nothing to i would

never criticize you i'm just saying it might be funny and so he goes i'm gonna try to do i go i would like to see you give an example of this but yeah when handling hard topics it's like i could try to make a case for myself and be like hey glaze i know what you think about austin butler but you have to consider these things or you could do it like bill burr and try to make like a perfect point with examples can i play it oh i don't think we should do that really i think it's really funny i didn't do a very good impression i've never tried no it's so hard to please a bill burr impression insanely accurate i'm sorry but like i i just don't think i don't think you understand i would not air this

if i thought it was lame at all or if i thought it wasn't impressive great point i wish i had like 10 it is a good point okay 10 tries to get this right oh god so this is this is okay so this is him gearing up for it this is a cute part because you're just you're go let me just try this it's adorable okay i don't know if i have what it takes to appeal for oppression and then here we go i don't know i don't know has anybody seen this kid this austin butler kid walking around he thinks he's elvis yeah this kid he uh he played elvis in a movie for a few years and now he he thinks he's elvis he walks around he's like acting like elvis women women love it they're reading this up billy freckles and then the next part

i was talking to my wife she's you know she thinks he's hot you can tell but she's like leave the kid alone you know it's in his dna now he's he He became Elvis. He had to become Elvis. And I'm like, you just admit it. You think he's hot. You think he's a hot kid. He's imitating the coolest guy in the last 80 years. You think he's hot. Just admit it. Jessica Simpson moved to France for six months and comes back to America, starts talking about croissants. You'd hit the roof. You'd be like, this dumb cunt thinks she's from France? You're a big jumper. No, no. You'd think it's because the kid's hot. Is there one more?

Yes. Frank Oz. You guys all know who Frank Oz is? This motherfucker played Yoda for 30 years. He was playing Yoda. You think he brought that shit back to his wife saying, saying, dinner you should make. Bill Burr, everybody.

Bill Burr. I want to say Chris does not use the C word. I never do. He was just channeling. He was shocked that he even used it. He was like, oh my God, I said that? I love Billy Freckles. You really did a good job.

10 out of 10. I feel like if I had eight years, I could do a better job. You came up with that bit in 30 seconds. That was off the dome. Yeah, that was pretty quick. That was really impressive to me. As a comedian, I was like, that's a fully formed bit. You could present that to him and he would do that bit.

I'm sweating like you wouldn't believe right now. Well, you nailed it. I don't like this at all. Hot. Hot. He's burning up, you guys. The way he says hot as Bill Burr. Hot.

You think he's a hot guy. Yeah. He was so good. But I afterwards was like, I've never loved you more. That was so funny but i afterwards was like i've never loved you more like that was you just had that was so funny and so thought out and was just like it was a side of you that i had not seen i've never seen seen you do impressions and they always blow me away but like i know what that like that was so i've never done it for anybody it was so sweet i love

god i'm on fire thank you for being. Thank you for letting me use that clip. I really appreciate it. I know it was supposed to be just for me, and now you're just for everybody. That was the best Burr I've heard, honestly. Billy Freckles. Yes. Wait, what does he say to it? He says, for the guys and the ladies.

Yeah, he always does that. We used to listen to his podcast a lot. You're the best. Thank you for being here, Chris. Thank you, Anya. Thank you, Noah. Thank you to the listener. We have dates coming up,
