The Nikki Glaser Podcast - #320 Hit A Nerve

Episode Date: February 23, 2023

Nikki is evaluating what dictates her happiness. It definitely wasn't the overly excited barista or a chipper air line attendant. She sprinkles her strong opinions through the episode. Also, you might want to know that Nikki is at the level of fame where she has to wipe down the machine at the gym. Anya shows off her new tooth and describes what it was like getting her teeth shaven. Nikki talks about taking the stage with John Mayer over the weekend and what she is learning about the 'flow state' from the book The Art of Impossible. They listen to some Fanthrax where Besties ask Nikki for her strong opinions on TLC's Shauna Rae and for advice on handling a family affair at a wedding. ---- Watch this episode on our Youtube Channel: The Nikki Glaser Podcast Follow the pod on Instagram for bonus content: @NikkiGlaserPod Leave us your voicemail: Click Here To Record Get Pod Merch: Podshop.NikkiGlaser.com Nikki's Tour Dates: nikkiglaser.com/tour Anya's Patreon: patreon.com/anyamarina   More Nikki: IG More Anya: IG More producer Noa: IG  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Listen to The Daily Show Ears Edition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's Nikki. Hello, here I am. It's the Nikki Glaser Podcast. Welcome to the show. I'm in Los Angeles still. Noah is here. Anya is here. Welcome, guys. How are you this morning? Is it morning where you are? Kind of, maybe. No, it's noon. For me. For Anya's. Not for Anya. It is, yes. It's morning for us. Yeah. Top of the morning to you.

My boyfriend is still asleep in the other room. I went in and turned on his white noise machine and I was like, you need to crank it up, boo boo, because it's just like, it's not loud enough and I'm like, I want to talk about you, bitch. So turn and crank that bitch. No. He's a snuggle bugle in the next room and he had a late night last night, so he's sleeping in a little bit today. What's it like cohabitation oh just ask the same question coke done did we both say that yes yes yes you both said cohabitation too instead of like living together we're scientists honestly what is this podcast? Okay, welcome back to NPR. This is Terry Gross. So cohabitation, it's, I mean, we've done it before.

We did it for many years. And I feel like we've probably lived together for like two years out of the 10 that we've been off and on. So it's the same. It's always great. We get along really good living together. There's never been, it's better really good living together. There's never been, it's better than not living together for us always.

More conflict arises when we don't see each other and we're not living together. But when we're living together, we're just, maybe it's like the whole theory of you have to make it work. Like you know how like people go, when you get married, you just, you get into a fight. Fights don't escalate to insanity as much because you both know that this you're gonna have to make

it work because you're married and i feel like we both know there's no other place for us to go unless we get a hotel so maybe that's maybe it just makes us feel secure i guess and in a relationship i feel like like it's just so obvious when i'm secure in my relationship to me it's like you know when my i realize that my happiness and my mood and so much of my life unfortunately is dictated by the security i feel with my partner now when i'm single i don't know what dictates my happiness honestly not sure like if starbucks filled my cup all the way to the top if they're accepting mobile orders today so beautiful metaphorically and literally it's it i really don't know what it what i don't remember but i

know that when i'm in a relationship instability in my relationship equals instability in the rest of my life and that is called codependency and it is also but my old therapist used to say codependency there's this whole realm of therapists who think codependency is the worst thing we need other people we we need to depend on people we don't need that other people to dictate how we feel, but like there is, there is always such a negative connotation with codependency. And I think that there is something to be said for like, well, there's benefits of it too.

And there is a reason why we partner up as humans and, and, and while, while being single and living alone isn't ideal and why, you know, there's so much loneliness going on with older people like i get my heart has been breaking recently for old people like living alone like i read some stat about like how many elderly people have no one and just die alone don't not even in a nursing

home just die like no one is left and it makes me so fucking sad I can't even handle it um and so yeah I mean we need but it it really bothers me I guess it doesn't bother me it just um it it's nice to it's nice to be able to recognize when I'm feeling depressed and the world sucks and I am just in general so negative about everything. It's usually because my boyfriend and I are like not feeling secure. There's like, we're having a lack of communication or something. But that's both sad and nice to know. But what the fuck, man? I don't want that.

I don't want my happiness to be dependent on it. I mean, it has to be dependent on something. People don't want my happiness to be dependent on it i mean it has to be dependent on something people go you're happy you shouldn't be dependent on your job or like your successes at work or you know your home life but it's like then what the fuck else is it supposed to be dependent on your inner spirit and how much you like yourself like who has that besides deepak chopra and oprah yeah yeah exactly so i gotta get a job working at starbucks oh you would probably love it i kind of would except today at starbucks the woman was so chipper and fucking annoyed i'm not kidding you i should have recorded it it i can't do an impression right

now because it would wake chris up but it was so loud and she was just like hey thanks for coming no you did it like screaming and i was looking around like is anyone else gonna clock this and like i do want people to enjoy their jobs but i felt so i've never felt worse for starbucks work starbucks workers than them working with this overly cheery one it's ironic flight attendant like that the other day and i think i sent you a recording she was screaming on the flight and like at such a high pitch and doing a trivia game but it was terrifying because she was screaming and all of us are just like you're taking us hostage it was a southwest flight let me just say why are all of them stopping out i because my dad always says i love southwest you

know in job interviews they ask, Southwest job interview, every single interview, they ask, tell me a joke. And if you can't, they don't really, they don't get the job. And I go, well, if you asked me to tell you a joke, I wouldn't tell, I wouldn't have one on hand. I have one now because I just read this book and there was a great joke. Now when people go, tell me a good joke. Like I'm not someone who just like carries jokes in their pocket. Like, well, two guys walk into a bar. Like I don't memorize those jokes. I like people that do. it's a skill that people have as a comedian i do not have that skill but what i do like that i just read was um a cop pulls over a car and there's um three priests inside and the cop goes we're looking for three pedophiles and they go we'll do it and. I'll send that to my dad.

We all know why I like that joke. I'll screenshot it for you because it was in a David Sedaris book. I don't think it was, it wasn't his joke. He just had a joke in a book. But it's, you know, for many reasons,

that's my favorite joke. But yeah, Southwest, the other day I was on a flight and their little chipper cheery attitude, which is some people love it. And it's so sweet when someone's stupid enough to get a kick out of that. When your life is that simple that a flight attendant making a joke like is

enough to make you laugh out loud like i look at you and i go how dumb how easy is your life that this is giving you joy i envy people that just get kicks out of dumb shit you know i want those people in my audience. I mean, I don't think they'd even like me because it would be, it wouldn't be easy enough to get like, I don't, not that I'm like super intellectual humor by any means.

They just need like, they just go, Oh, and they're looking at each other like, Oh, and they, the people who clap when you land, you know,

that's that whole thing, which I don't really actually hate that i think clapping when you're landing isn't that bad it's like kind of cute people hate clappers when they land but the other day i was texting with chris because there was or maybe i was texting with you i get you guys confused but i was saying to like emotionally i get you guys confused because i share the same kind of things yeah it's the it's the pictures I send you guys. Although you like it from behind. That's the difference.

Oh, that's a cool sound. How do you do it? Yeah, that was a Conan O'Brien. Speaking of Conan O'Brien chris saw him last night uh yeah the hip dance where he has strings on his hips and he cuts one and his hip falls it's the best um so i was telling someone that i was on this flight and oh yeah i was on the way out here and there was this girl that was so loud and just being so obnoxious and like it was the kind of person where if you were to tell them hey there are people like there's people on this flight like you she was having a conversation with her friend next to her and they're like laughing because she's one of

these people that's just so loud and has to have every thought that comes in her head said out loud and she can't speak she's talking to her friend she's like i told them that if we are delayed i'm not sleeping in this airport i am not sleeping in this airport oh you all should be happy right now we're about to take off like and it was so obnoxious but you knew she's the kind of girl that if you were like excuse me you're being rude she'd be like what did you say are you a racist fucking bitch like it was gonna go to that like i just knew it so i just that's called unbridled self-expression really yeah is that like a real thing yeah it's um she was chinese by the way if you guys were thinking she was black um no she was unbridled self-expression u s e um yeah so it's basically like when you just say everything that's on your mind

just like dump it my therapist calls it shooting from the hip okay you know what i was furious at this girl at the time and also the southwest flight attendant who was making jokes wasn't helping because they were setting her up to be jokey and loud so people were laughing so then she wants attention. So now it's getting, so I'm like, this is encouraging this bad behavior. But then I was like,

and I hated this girl. I was like seething. I was literally hoping my plane would crash so that she would be eliminated from the earth. I was like having those kinds of thoughts. I have those on planes all the time where I look around and I go, I will take the sacrifice because these people are fucking awful. Like it's usually on a Southwest flight too oh you know what the problem was it was a southwest flight at fucking 4 p.m direct

from St. Louis to Las Vegas Nevada that is your problem you're getting on a flight to Las Vegas direct from anywhere on a Friday and you are going to have rowdy drunk idiots it was like a booze cruise so yeah they're pre-gaming yeah but this girl was not drunk she was just loud and you could tell and i just go you know what and i look around there's people trying to sleep this girl is like so disruptive and i go nikki she probably grew up in a home where she never got any people to, when she was trying to nap as a little girl, her parents were probably screaming at each other, had the TV loud, listening to music.

She probably never learned this poor little child. I tried to shrink her down to a child and picture where she learned this behavior where no one else's feelings matter or eardrums. And I realized this person was probably, you know, emotionally abused as a child and she didn't learn. And to have empathy that this, and most of the time rude ass people that have no,

like people on their speaker phones, having full conversations, people who are blasting music in hotel rooms or apartments or just being loud. They're either drunk because you have lack of self-awareness when you're drunk or they just grew up. Just imagine how they grew up, where they learned this. They probably had the worst fucking parents.

I wish I had your voice in my head. And then their parents have the worst fucking parents. What did you say? I wish I had had that kind of compassion the other day on the Southwest flight. I was so upset. I was thinking like, how can I complain about this? And I'm like, don't be a Karen.

Just let it go. But it was terrifying. And I could tell a lot of passengers were annoyed. They were trying to sleep. Well, that's where you look around and you kind of just go, what the fuck? And when it's the flight attendant, I get mouthy. And I go, okay, we get it. And I go, ugh. I do it. And I go, ugh.

I do an Opie and Anthony, ugh. Which I used to pull from. As they should. As they should. Should. Oh my God. I like, as they should is sweeping the nation. Because you're ugh to that girl's boyfriend.

Oh, just an ugh. Like there's nothing more that I want to avoid in life than someone looking at me and going like just isn't that the worst insult yeah it's slight also a shush works too like a like they don't know where it's coming from we're all kind of subconsciously programmed to shut the fuck up when we hear a um that works but i love an uh and i have gotten I mean I'm getting to the point where I'm getting too famous to be this person in public anymore

where I call out rude behavior and like and the one that gets a bit a bit loud about like no one cares sir like I'll shout that like if a guy three rows back is like talking really loud or like I'll go the other day I said so loud to someone which they

didn't even know what that meant but has it has an implied yeah because it's in it it's yes and so that's I think why could work so well but it is getting to the point where I'm I and I know that people roll their eyes when I say I'm famous or whatever because I would too but it's just a thing. It's growing. I just had a voice lesson right before this, and my voice teacher has no concept of who I am, which is fine.

I wouldn't expect him to. He's a 65-year-old guy who lives in Baldwin, Missouri, and opera singer. And he was like, over the you know i sang with michael mcdonald and he grew up with michael mcdonald and had told me about you know his days back in the days like me and michael being in bands or whatever and so when i met michael mcdonald this weekend yeah if you don't know who he is he's in the doobie brothers and he's also the guy that sings like this and um taking it to the streets and he um i i like went up to michael

and was like i study with michael rocchio who you grew up with and he was like oh yeah a guy from back in the day like i mean he's 60 and they knew each other when they were 20 so he's kind of like yeah i think but i told my voice teacher and sent him all these pictures and he's like what is happening like what is this like you're performing with john mayer and uh the ario speedwagon like he was blown away but i sent him pictures and he was like i posted those pictures on facebook because he wanted to brag about his student like getting to do this thing even though it was like i was a comedian not a singer in it and he said to me Nikki today he was like I posted that on

Facebook I had no idea how well known you are I had no and I go I know I it surprises me as well sometimes like it's it's been it's growing um it's growing a lot recently and he was it was just so cute that he was just like people were freaking out and it was just so cute that he was just like, people were freaking out. And it was just really cute. But even yesterday, I mean, I have been doing this for probably 10 years now, but when I walk on Sunset Boulevard and there is a celebrity sightseeing van, you know, there's these TMZ ones, there's tons of them. And they're constantly roaming Sunset Boulevardvard just pointing out that's where whoever died and that's the Viper Room.

And like, they're just going and maybe they'll see a celebrity. And I always, because I know I once was a young girl in LA who went on a celebrity tour and I would have killed to see a celebrity walking down the sidewalk. But you don't know because everyone looks normal and you don't know who is who unless you are very savvy.

So I always used to say, I'm a comedian. I'm friends with Amy Schumer. because everyone looks normal and you don't know who is who unless you are very savvy so i always used to say i'm i'm a comedian i'm i'm friends with amy schumer like that was my joke back in the day i would feel myself saying it when when i was someone who was not recognizable but yesterday i was filming a show and i was like waiting to walk into this business and i was waiting on the sidewalk and people were filming outside the business because they like love this business because of the show or whatever and I they're paparazzi out there then there's like a a van of people that came through and they're kind of staring at me and I'm waving at them because I'm just waiting for my I'm like we're waiting for I don't know sound or something lighting inside so I'm waving to this van of people and then they start kind of like waving

back and I'm like I'm Nikki Glaser I'm a comedian i'm screaming across traffic and the guy that's like the crew guy that's holding me is like you're like thinking i go i do that because not because i want attention but because i feel like i want to give them a gift of like seeing a live animal on a safari like i want to be the cheetah that's like comes up and like pause at the window um not for myself like really i promise like maybe it's 10 for myself but i don't even think it's that like i really do it because i know what it means to be a celebrity fanatic and to see someone that you go okay she's not like we're not seeing brad pitt but we're seeing someone who we can look at her imdb and she's like people get excited about famous people um but that leads me to saying oh oh i'm the level of famous now where at the gym i have to wipe down my equipment

afterwards i realized because people want to bottle the sweat or something oh that's so funny no because they'll think i'm an they might go one person sees nikki glazer not wipe down her machine and i know the way people talk about celebrities on Reddit and stuff and how much people who love celebrities actually hate them and are looking for any reason to like write you off as a bad person. Right. And a story like that, if one person saw me not wipe down machine, I am entitled and gross. And, but the truth is, and so I wiped wiped out machine now not because i care about the person

after me but because i don't want to be besmirched in the public eye by one person who might see me because the other day at my gym in my building i could tell these girls were like i can tell when people recognize me and they kind of look at they look at me a little long and then i look back at them always and they're always on their phone Googling. And I've caught, I mean, I'm not kidding you, dozens of Uber drivers. I've caught them kind of like rear view mirror eye contact. And then I see them on their phone,

Google comedian, like, or they'll Google Nikki fame and I'll see my fucking net worth pop up or whatever the fuck they're Googling. They're like like she better give me a tip but um but i see it a lot so i just know that i kind of know the and i was been friends with famous people so long like i remember being friends with amy and just seeing people see her and then tell their friends and then like look back like i know i know the the the steps of recognition but i want to just say, you shouldn't wipe down your machine.

If you care about germs so much, wipe it down before you work out. I think the new rule, Chris, that's perfect that you've emerged for this. New rule. You wipe down a machine before you use it. The person,

you don't wipe it after because the only i don't care about a sweaty machine i don't care if someone's if it if it is covered in disgust i will wipe it down but if it is this is a perfect system because people who actually care about germs are going to wipe it down anyway they're not going to trust it was wiped down before them people that really care so they're wiping it down. So just stop wiping it down if you're because the people who actually care already do it anyway. What do you think? I completely agree. I need to remember to wipe it down before because it's like I care for myself and I care for others. If you're my mom, by the way, only washes her hands before she pees. And

I always thought that was gross. then i was like she kind of has a point it's not like when i'm peeing i'm fingering myself i don't even touch my and pee is like clean actually people like drink their pee so if i get pee on my hand i honestly don't care it's not like i'm gonna go like i like touch a baby's mouth or something like i usually like even if it's a little like this this is grossing everyone out let's take a break and and, like, regroup because I really need to think about what I'm about to admit here. Okay, we'll be right back after this. Jon Stewart is back in the host chair at The Daily Show, which means he's also back in our ears on The Daily Show Ears Edition podcast.

Listen to The Daily Show, ears edition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts all right we're back um yeah hand washing i do it most of the time like but interesting your mom does it before she goes to the bathroom because I guess I don't know why. I don't know.

I take it back now because I'm like, yeah, if you touch yourself. Maybe because she touches the toilet paper and then she thinks the dirt will go on the toilet paper into her vagina. Do you know that our phones are like worse than toilet seats?

Yeah, they're covered in poo. They're like grease. Everything's covered in poo. Oh my God. I took my phone okay i took my phone case off because i don't know if you know this little hack but if you want to give yourself a speaker on your phone you know how your iphone speaker kind of sucks yeah sorry for droid listeners but you you probably are like you know i was gonna make some joke about how you're poor

no but um for any phone I think, your speaker sucks. If you put it in a glass, in a hotel room, I always put it in the glasses. So I had to take my cover off to fit my phone in a glass. And whoa. What did you find? It was like digging in the seat of a Southwest flight. Like it was sticky.

And I couldn't believe there weren't like silverfish living in it. I was like, this would be a perfect place for a bug to live. I remember my keyboard in college. One time a silverfish crawled out of the letter J and like went over to like the tilde. And I was like, oh God, god how was that i have like critters living in here i mean i was so disgusting in college just like dripping things constantly in the keyboard um but yeah that is satisfying yeah what to open it up and clean it out oh i didn't clean it i just lifted it and go that's gross i like i looked for a thing to wipe it off

but there was nothing nearby and so i just put it back on i mean it's still disgusting i don't get it yeah i was like what's satisfying oh uh cleaning something i don't know what you mean hiring someone to clean something for you yeah i guess that feels good but i don't have a sense of accomplishment about it um okay we have to discuss the elephant in the room um which are anya's new tusks anya got new tea there's no gap anymore yeah but yesterday when i came i mean i still am having a lot of trouble speaking i think you're leaning into it i i sound like i'm having some trouble with my lish yeah so it's they're not permanent yet though you're like you have a what's it called a temporary yeah you know what

it feels like nick it's exactly like if you took two dentine ice and chewed them up for like a minute and then tucked them right behind your front teeth that's how it is to talk so it's a lot of new matter or material right there oh that you're yeah you're doing really well with it i can't as soon as you point it out it starts to go oh yeah i hear it but hey are you getting like bubble gum tongue what's that oh my god what the fuck is that it's john mayer lyric oh your bubble gum tongue because you want love, what was it like interacting with him, Nikki? Oh,

it was good. I'm wondering, I know him. Yeah. A lot of people wrote me and were like, Oh my God, tell him I love him. I'm like,

I'm gone. The pictures are posted. This was last night. Um, I've known John for, you know, just peripheral. I mean,

I've known John about John since the year 2000 when he opened for Guster and my, my, the guy that was in love with Doug Reese took me on like what I guess a quasi date to go see him. And during your body is Wonderland, which was the first time I'd ever heard that song. He was a new performer.

We were there to see Guster, but he was like this guy, John, he had seen them the night before. And he was like, this kid that's opening for them is so good. And he whispered in my ear during your body is wondering, he goes,

this song is about sex. And I was just oh my god and then um and it totally was i mean he was yes i mean this was high school this was i was 16 so i didn't lose my virginity for another um five years and doug was 30 or no doug was my age too i I loved him so much. Where are you, Doug Reese? If anyone knows Doug Reese. That is such a popular boy's name. 98, Doug Reese. Yeah, that's what we called him because 98 Degrees was such a popular band. And so Taylor came up with it.

She was like, 98, Doug Reese. So Doug Reese, R-E-I-S. If you know Doug Reese, please someone tell me how to find him and tell him i'm looking for him i'm not trying to like i feel like he's like she's a comedian i don't want to be brought into the spotlight i will not put you on my podcast i just want to know where you i just want to reconnect with you and share some memories because i love you um as a friend and and and i don't it's so sad that uh i lost touch with him but But that song was about sex.

And that's, anyway, John, I was like a huge fan of back in the day. And then continuing on, Slow Dancing in a Burning Room is one of my favorite songs. I really loved his like soul album he did. Or like his like kind of like country-ish, like folky album he did. Born and Raised, I think it was called. Like I've been into him off and on over the years and um and then i met him at the comedy cellar maybe in 2014 or something like that and he was very nice and he's like comedy adjacent you know he's friends with a lot of comedians so that's how i met him through that and then we obviously connected we obviously we connected

when bob saget died again and um like helped each other a little bit through that. And that was really nice. And then I saw him at, where else have I seen him? I guess I saw him at the after party, the wake, I guess. And then I called him for advice on having bivocal cord surgery because he had the same surgery. And so he gave me good advice

there and i did exactly what he said which is like get an ipad and a keyboard and like uh and i ordered too small of an ipad so i returned it but anyway um and then yeah the other night i saw him backstage and i just we just were like hey and just like hugged and then he was like you look great i was like you look great and then he had like, you look great. I was like, you look great. And then he had a cold and I was, he performed, I was front row watching him perform. And then,

and then I went backstage cause we like went, so I did my standup and then I just stayed out in the audience and watched the, the, all the bands. And then I went back for the finale backstage and that's where I saw him. And he had a cold and he was like,

I apologize. I'm singing, you know, an octave lower because I have a cold. So instead of gravity, he was like i apologize i'm singing you know an octave lower because i have a cold so instead of gravity he was doing gravity deacon you know like he was just took it down one and then he was but i was like i just told him i go no one would have noticed no but you could just tell he like it's interesting to see someone who's so famous and beloved call out this thing that no one would notice if we didn't like you didn't need to tell us you had a cold you sounded amazing but i as as a comedian

myself like anytime a joke doesn't go well i have to be like that was new i have to like always or even when i was on stage the other night chris was like you didn't need to say that because there was supposed to be a five minute like countdown clock but there was none and as soon as i looked down to see how much time i had there was nothing there and that because there was supposed to be a five minute like countdown clock but there was none and as soon as i looked down to see how much time i had there was nothing there and i go there's supposed to be a countdown clock but i don't know how much time i have and then i got off stage and chris was like next time people didn't need to know that i was like that's a really good point like i need to remember the audience isn't yeah isn't backstage they're not like but you forget that and great performers don't apologize for things

they don't need to apologize for so what you're saying is john is not is not a great performer no i think that like i but you know what it shows is that he's uh humble and still like doubts himself and especially in in front of all of these legendary musicians. Perhaps if it was his own show, he wouldn't have apologized, but I think he knew he was amongst musicians that would maybe notice or something. When I perform in front of comedians, I up it a little bit more, unfortunately.

Sometimes when people, like real fans, will come to your shows, though, as a musician, I've found they'll get they'll be like sticklers about like you didn't sing it like on the record you know like why didn't you sing it like on the record because a lot of times you don't you'll veer away from it you know just for fun because you're bored so maybe he's just like people real fans will notice if i'm not singing the note i usually yeah no and you know what i would have noticed i probably would have noticed and but but he but i i guess my point was like he he sounded amazing with cold like what the fuck and um so yeah that was we just had a brief interaction backstage but

that was it um what was my what was i talking about before that on his teeth oh yeah your teeth back to on his teeth such a major like i've i've kind of wanted to get veneers before because they are they veneers is that what they're called what you got so they're porcelain veneers the reason i got them was because as i've aged my teeth have gotten a little discolored i've always had this one thing on my front tooth that breaks off every eight years i have to get it fixed and i was just like i don't and then my braces didn't stick like they've gotten a little more crooked and then my dentist is like you could do invisalign or you could spend a couple grand and just get these four things replaced and i was like that seems intense doctor would have said that i cannot believe how affordable

it was i can't believe i've been in Invisalign since before Trump was president. I'm not kidding you. I mean, this is such a violent procedure, though. Yeah. Why? It is, they fucking grind your teeth down to stalactites. At one point, they go, okay, you're all done. Sit up, and you can rinse now.

So you did have it ground down to little nubs. Yes, dude. And you could see, they show you. See, that's the reaction that's i mean that's a natural reaction i know that anyone should have but they avoid your nerves i was asking the dentist i'm like how do you know like that you're avoiding my nerves she's like uh because i went to school for most of my life and was like easy lady i'm sorry it wasn't an insult um but i could see how that would be an annoying question like how do y'all know what you're doing no you know what i want to know what they're doing in there they are taking so long to do little things i recently had a tooth procedure and i'm like

what's he doing up in there like there's so many like different like whirring sounds and like yes there's like a grind there was a thing they were chipping off an old filling and it's all of a sudden a rock came shooting out of my and he goes that's normal and i go how about you tell me it's normal before it happens like a rock might come shooting out of your face it felt like and it sounded like you're driving on the highway and a semi truck like flicks a rock into your windshield that's what it sounded like it was like flicking around in my mouth all all of this filling just shooting everywhere and he goes that's normal that's normal and i'm like it's like when flight when pilots don't tell you this turbulence is normal we're not gonna die like let us know john mayer us let us know your process let us know what is

happening here assume that we are going to assume the worst about you even though we're not and and fill us in a little bit on these feelings i would have appreciated a heads up like you know 25 minutes in i'm like how much longer is this gonna go on and if she had just told me so we're gonna be up in here for like 28 minutes or 30 minutes like that would have been so nice give us a time limit and now you're scared to ask her questions because she got so defensive about the the nerve question you're getting you hit a nerve clearly but you gotta learn how to not hit them at one point i stood up she goes all right just rinse now i had no idea that my teeth weren't in yet and i'm like rinsing and then i'm

feeling and all i feel nikki are like oh my god imagine like three long drapes of your gums and i'm like feeling these strings i'm like what why is there like there's so much stuff still hanging in my mouth behind i think you need to trim my gums and she's like oh your teeth aren't in yet okay the dentist no wonder they were cheap no she was sorry this is not okay no i don't like can i just say though come on that people need to know because i did not know this because i feel like i've always been to reliable dentists i've heard multiple stories lately um about people going to the dentist and needing tons of work done because dentists prey on people's people know people dentists know that

people don't take care of their teeth and they're ashamed of it so people will wait 10 years to go the dentist you know andrew i think hadn't been to the dentist in like 20 years like something like that because people get ashamed and then they go and they will just don't if you go to the dentist and you need more than two cavities or i would say more than three cavities filled and your teeth aren't hurting like you if you go in hurting and then they say you have four cavities okay you probably have four cavities but if you go in for a checkup and your teeth aren't hurting and you get more three or more cavities that they need to build second opinion because there are con artists dentists everywhere i've read about this on reddit i've

heard personal experiences of it. Chris is going to come in right now and tell us a personal experience. Pro tip. That was a pro tip. Oh, pro tip. Floss. Don't go to a brand new dentist. They have tons of student debt.

Oh. Thank you. Everyone is shady. But if you go to a guy that's... Why'd you have me go to Dr. Bakula? He's like 22 he's in a group of like he's in a good group he's a good guy yeah he's a pyramid scheme server dentist he's the coolest he's so good he's he's totally served for tennis he has a surfer voice

and he's scott bacula's nephew he's just like hey uh how's your teeth going today how are you feeling how's your teeth going today so so yeah those mean, I'm not saying that they're all bad, but those dentists that are like young and just out of dental school, they've got tons of debt and they're like, hey man, if we do a bunch of fillings, that's what, I think that's what happened with the stories that you're telling. Yeah. Well, there's, yeah, there was one story in St. Louis, but I've, I've, I think this is something that people don't know about.

So they, they prey on your shame, you know, like if they go, oh my God, this is something that people don't know about. So they prey on your shame. You know, like if they go, oh my God, this is bad. You listen and they roll their chair over. Listen, they move the light out of the way. This isn't good. So you've got six cavities on your left side. You got four on the right side. And we've got a couple of, go to a second opinion.

I'm not lying to you. Like they know when people are ashamed and there are bad people out there that are taking advantage so also i went to two two dentists in new york city they said okay you have to get an implant i got a six thousand dollar implant on the right and then they go you have a hairline fracture on this uh on your other side you're gonna have to get an implant do you want to just do it now i go no i don't have six thousand dollars i go get a second opinion that guy goes you do have a hairline fracture but you don't yet need an implant but you will then i go to this guy a couple years later and he goes you

have no hairline fracture it's fine you do not and will not need an implant. Let's all just get second opinions for fucking everything. I mean, that's the name of the game. I've never done that in my life. I just always defer that I'm an idiot and everyone knows better. Especially doctors who are fucking egomaniacs. You have to be kind of sociopathic.

They just kind of look at bodies. They cut into bodies. Especially surgeons. Surgeons, that's why um sociopathy is kind of beneficial to society because we need people that can like cut into a body and not feel anything or feel remorse or or like deal with people dying on them babe before you leave i got you some sugar he hates but sometimes when i want intimacy with him i'll go give me some sugar and he loves it but hates it but today i got you a chocolate croissant oh yeah because i know you did yeah yeah enjoy it if you don't like it just give it to someone who does you know i hope you have the

greatest day they hear it wait he loves you and he thinks you're wonderful thank you i've heard about your new teeth He didn't even see my teeth I'm just kidding He didn't say that Should I shave off My incisors? Because I've heard

That it gives a more Youthful appearance What are they called, Nikki? Lateral incisors Because your first four teeth Are all incisors I looked it up Now your lateral incisors

Are the ones next To your front teeth The two buddies on the side. The two little henchmen. And I think, yeah. Make them a little, maybe like a hairline shorter. Yeah. But that's so exciting to have a new fresh set of teeth.

Like, it's really, whenever I get my teeth whitened, it's such a boost. When I just got some like gaps filled in and my teeth and it was like, oh, I just like, yeah, because when I would smile, there would be I just have it's not like a gap, but it's like my molars come together and they make like a cave and it's called the black triangles. And it was so funny because I was telling my surfer dentist. I was telling my surfer dentist when he was like, how your teeth, you know, hanging loose. And I was like, yeah, there's like, there's just when I smile, sometimes it looks like

I have like food in my vac molars and these like at the very top, it looks like a little poppy seed. And he was like, oh, yeah, maybe we'll scrape up some of the stain. That didn't work. OK, we'll knock out this filling and refill it because the filling looks stained. That didn't work. And I go, it's not a stain. It's a fucking shadow because it's a cave it's like a little cave hole and so he goes oh black triangle oh yeah he goes usually we yeah we we have a process for filling those in but it's

usually the front teeth not on the sides and i was like he's like i've never done it on the side i was like i'll be the guinea pig fill those bitches up and so now it doesn't look like i have food in my teeth anymore um which is the thing that bugged me all the time why couldn't you figure that out on the first try why did you have to go through all these procedures i can't say procedures because it was a nice fucking he caught a wave that morning and what what is it called when it's like a nice uh what is it called when they're like the ocean's good for surfing a gnar wave you caught it no like there's a good swell there's a good swell or something i don't know yeah a sweet swell yeah i'm reading this book about um uh it's it's really fascinating hold on what's the name of it i'm reading it slowly i am going to read more than a third of it

the book i do want to update you all the book about um adult children of emotionally immature parents i've only read i'm stopping at half because i got it okay it's just repeating itself now but i got it and it's helpful the last like couple of pages just so you get the drift of the end have you ever thought about who dies yeah it's me from loneliness because my parents were emotionally immature. No, you're right. Maybe I should. But it's just repeating the same stuff. And it's, I hate books that, first of all, let me just say another strong opinion I have.

No more forwards, no more prologues. I don't care about reading. I've already said this before. It bears repeating. I don't need to hear a bunch of people who didn't write the book tell me how good your book is. I bought it already

i don't need to read someone famous who i don't even fucking know i'm fucking michael rocchio about this person that's my voice teacher didn't know who i was i don't know whoever it is that you got to write your forward that's so impressive saying how great you are i paid to read your book and then i don't want to read about all your thank yous about who helped you along the process, how this book came to be. Save that for the end when I give a shit because I've just read the book and I want to know what's the genesis of this book. Don't forwards need to be shorter. I don't need to see, I don't need to see you think every colleague and every, all your, I don't need you. If you're a psychologist writing a book spare me the bullshit about thank you to all my clients who provided case studies and were so vulnerable and offered me your time and compat like shut up

you're a doctor you used your patients they did sign a release maybe you're using fake names we know that shut up we don't care we just want to hear the data um but this book it just goes this is another thing annoying in these psychology books they'll go there are three types of emotionally um avoided parents and then they'll tell you each one of them and then they have to take you through each i guess what my point is is i just want i want to know what i can do about it like all they do in this book what i thought it was going to be was like, if you have emotionally immature parents, this is how it shows up in your relationships.

And here's what you can do about it. Instead, the whole book is just like, here's how to not, here's how to not be an emotionally avoidant parent or immature parent. First of all, it helps you identify you had them. And then all of a sudden it's like,

this is, this is what they do. And you go, yeah, I know I lived it. And then they go, well,'s like, this is what they do. And you go, yeah, I know I lived it. And then they go, well, here's how your parents got that way. It's like, I don't give a fuck. I already forgave them.

Like, teach me how to live. And also they're assuming that you're going to have children. Yes. Maybe that's it. That annoys me. But I'm reading this new book that I actually think is going to help me a lot, even though I know I've said this about a bunch of books, but it can't hurt. And once it loads, it's called The Art of Impossible by Stephen Kotler.

K-O-T-L-E-R. Stephen with a V. The Art of Impossible. And it's really fascinating. And it talks about how he used to, he was a journalist that was following people who would be in the X Games. And these people that were doing like death defying stunts, like the X Games when it started,

people were like, you can't do fucking 1400 degree spin on a half pipe or whatever. They were doing things that like, no one could ever imagine a human could do. And they were doing things that like no one could ever imagine a human could do and they were doing it and he was like this is so fascinating that this is constantly happening i'm seeing the impossible being achieved by people that had would not you would never think science would not even think this is possible and then he pretty much gives you a step-by-step uh which is not easy to follow by any means like

this takes a lot of work but if you want to do the impossible if you have like a goal that seems impossible there is a way to do it and it's a perfect mixture of um hold on let me look at my bookmark really quick it's a perfect mixture of um autonomy they found that people when they're told to work on something if you're at work and you're told um you gotta you have this deadline you gotta have this in you'll get the work done but you're not gonna glean from that work well what you as much as if you're not gonna like improve your yourself is not gonna improve from doing that work but if you're not going to like improve, your self is not going to improve from doing that work. But if you are left to your own devices and told like, do whatever you want with this time, you will get so much more out of that.

So companies have like really used autonomy because they, they know it's more productive. So it's really interesting. 3M, you know, that makes tape and stuff. They were the first people to say to their, in 1948,

they implemented this system where they allowed their employees 15 of their day they can do whatever they want work towards a project that they're passionate about and which then led to the development of the post-it note so they they did the math on it and they go okay well 15 of their income in 1948 until 1973 was like a billion dollars or something. Like 15% of their revenue was spent on paying people to do nothing for 3M, right? It was just their personal development. But it led to a multi-billion dollar idea. And so Apple has done this,

Facebook has done this, Google does this. They all have this thing of like during your eight hour work day 15 of that time is devoted to autonomy whatever you want to do and if you were like i want to spend it on instagram um no it's supposed to be like it's supposed to be work you know it's supposed to be like a passion project like something that you're passionate about so um but it's it's a mixture of autonomy so doing something that you're passionate about. So, but it's a mixture of autonomy. So doing something that you care about, mastery and flow.

And mastery is really hard because you need to constantly be pushing yourself slightly. Like if I wanna improve singing and songwriting or playing music, I always have to be working on a song that's slightly above my level of being able to play not a lot it's a it's a very fine window so if you want to improve in things

if you go too far you're gonna hit a wall and you're gonna stop improving always slightly better because the human brain gets huge shoots of dopamine when you are rewarded for learning something new and like we are constantly in search of dopamine that's what like makes us that what is what uh so what this book is all about is like triggering motivation because if you have motivation you'll fucking do the work and so to trigger motivation you have to have dopamine and dopamine gets set off and norepinephrine and all those good feeling things get set off when you slightly challenge yourself and you have little tiny wins. And so this book kind of outlines how to perfectly reach a flow state. And a lot of it had to do also with like you have to exercise.

You have to like literally move your body and exercise and you have to get into a flow state which a lot of times um surfing can i don't know he was talking about how surfing causes that because it takes focus but also your mind is i don't i've never had i don't think i've been in a flow state before jujitsu yeah you get in flow oh yeah it's like this like meditative state when you're just kind of like like you have this like tunnel vision where you're so like in the moment and those little winds and stuff that happens too in the sport. It's like, wow, so cool. Have you skied, Nikki?

Yes, I definitely feel it in skiing. You're right. Like skiing is my favorite feeling when I'm going down a mountain by myself as fast as I can, trying little, he compares it to skiing too actually because he's like

I try something new I'm alone on the mountain I'm alone in my head like it's just skiing's the best fucking feeling but this is what he says to really harness mastery as a motivator which mastery is the hardest motivator there is but if you get mastery down and you're mastering like that's where you see the most growth he says take the 15 of your life that you've carved out for yourself so 15 of your week is usually one afternoon it's a four hour block so four hours of your week and you can or no five hours i'm sorry you can either do a five hour chunk once a week or you split it into two two and a half hours i don't think you can do five separate hours so it's two and a half and two and a half or five altogether carve that out for yourself call it your autonomy time and spend it pushing on the challenge skills balance which the So it's two and a half and two and a half or five altogether. Carve that out for yourself.

Call it your autonomy time and spend it pushing on the challenge skills balance, which the challenge skills balance is what I just talked about of like slightly challenging. Like you're learning a new skill that's not completely, but you're going to feel a reward when you get there because you will get there because it's not too challenging. Trying to get a little better at something that's aligned. And this is what else you would need to have. You have to have curiosity about what you're pursuing because without that, you will not keep going. So you have to be curious about what you're pursuing, passionate, and it has to have a purpose. So you can't just want to write a book because

I have a story to tell. Your story has to have a purpose to change the world. There has to be a purpose behind what you want to do. If you want to write songs like it just can't be my like it your purpose could be to make money and become famous but that's not going to get you far your if your purpose is to change the world in some way and even in some small way but outside of yourself you're going to also achieve so much more than if you are just keeping it to like your own personal goals so this book is really um fascinating and um i hope people read it if i've inspired them at all let's go to break and come back with um some fans john stewart is back in the host chair at the daily show which means he's also back in our ears on the daily show ears edition podcast the daily show

Let's do it. Fan Thrust! Oh, I've missed Avi's voice. And I've missed our listeners' voices voices let's hear what they have to say okay uh let's start off with amanda hey guys i wanted to get your opinion on this because i feel like nikki would have a strong one strong opinion um there's a girl shauna ray i'm sure you've seen videos on YouTube or TikTok or whatever. I guess she had a show or has a show on TLC. And she had cancer, some sort of tumor in her pituitary gland.

And she wasn't able to mature. So she looks like an 8-year-old girl. Sounds like an 8-year-old girl. But she's 23 years old. And this full-grown adult man found the show or saw the show and liked her um and sent her flowers and all this stuff i don't know but they're dating and i don't know how to feel about it but you have to look it up um it's fucking freaking me out and i feel like he's probably a pedophile but this is like the perfect loophole you know i don't know what do you think it is a perfect loophole uh jack off yeah okay now you know how i feel at the end of every episode it's

really hard to come up with jay things so thank you for that um what is this listener's name again amanda amanda thank you so much for this yeah this is an interesting story um you're i think you're gonna i'm i'm gonna surprise you here and say that i'm okay with it because i've watched a lot of this girl's clips and she comes across to me very much like an adult with just a child's voice and that looks like a child but like her essence to me is so adult that she's maybe more adult than like a lot of fully grown women. I see that like do talk like this and are just like,

I'm a little baby girl. Like she's more autonomous and like knows who she is more. And especially given that she has that affliction, I think, or that whatever thing with her pituitary gland, that I think that she's probably a cooler person and more mature because she's had to deal with such scrutiny probably her whole life.

And I think this guy, and I trust her to snuff out who wants to date her because she looks like a child and who doesn't because she's probably been dealing with this her whole life or her whole adult life really. But I do, first of all, yes, spidey sense goes off and you go what why i mean same with male gynecologist why why do you want this above anything else and i feel like i saw some clip where he was drawn to her because of her personality

and i trusted him and i believed him although i do think they are broken up now noah do we have any update that you can find about their status? Let me just see. A travel blogger who is accused of being creepy for dating a 23-year-old woman who looks like an 8-year-old girl has given an update on the pair's relationship. Swigert, the guy, recently shared several snaps on, right, whatever. Okay, so what's the update here? He said they're better off as friends than lovers. Yeah, we are just good friends.

We're getting to know each other. But I think it's absolutely disgusting, the attitude of some people. She's been through so much in life. She survived cancer as a child. She's always felt different, was treated by society. And her pussy does not feel like an eight-year-old's. Why would you say that?

You know, it sucks for this girl because anyone she dates is going to look suspicious. And I think I want her to be able to have all the things that i have as an adult woman in life so i wanna be air on the side of like i'm gonna trust her to find someone that's not a pedophile but yeah it doesn't it doesn't look great i mean it'd be worse if she chose a child today exactly like is she supposed to be alone her whole life is the other thing she's like let me please you guys and just date someone that looks like i'm gonna date an eight-year-old and then we'd be like oh that looks better and if you

she just looks like a adult woman shrunk down she does you know she doesn't look like a little person because little people have like definite different features that make them look like little people. But she looks like she there's adultness to her. Do you think her skin ages? Do you mean like do you think she's small and she has like almost like her skull shape has not taken that of an adult. So she's like a child's probably skull. But the amount of collagen. I think just the amount of collagen i think just the amount of collagen leaves our body after certain yes so she's probably losing that but maybe she's not

because her body thinks she's eight like maybe not as quickly because your pituitary gland regulates aging doesn't it yes so how do we stunt that for all of us yeah i'm googling we should study her like the last of us we should use her blood and rub it all over us yes shouldn't we study this girl shouldn't we get her to the fireflies as quickly as possible that's the last of us jaylo's already on it oh yeah yeah she watch out girl shauna ray jaylo will be harvesting your platelets themselves god um yeah i can't by the way that fucking ben affleck commercial super bowl commercial where he works the drive-thru can we give credit where credit is due david letterman did that first go look it up youtube david letterman used to be at the mcdonald's and taco bell drive-thrus and people would order and then they'd see david

letterman it was hilarious and it annoys me that they stole that idea and they're did it like Albert Brooks's brother why can't I remember his name he's on Curb Your Enthusiasm he died Bob oh yeah uh uh what's his Super Dave Osborne yeah yeah yeah he did that Super Dave didn't he do that on Dave I don't know yeah he used to do stuff like that too but yeah it really bugged me watching that commercial i'm like they just ripped off another comedy bit and it's just they grossed me out but that's my opinion not knowing them at all but you know i think we all know okay let's get to the next caller okay let's give peyton some advice hello everyone um this is my third time trying to get this done in less than 90 seconds. So I'm going to just jump right into it. My brother messaged me saying that he can only RSVP for himself for my wedding in March. That is correct because I asked him multiple times whether or not he was going to bring his boyfriend and I received no response. My brother rarely texts or calls back unless he needs something, which is typically money. The wedding is going to be small and family only and is less than 30

people. No one in my family other than my mother and I know that he's gay or even in a committed relationship. My family also thinks of my brother as the golden child that can do no wrong, but they are also the typical backwood apalachis that people would expect from southern west virginia is it shitty of me to not want my brother to come out to our entire family on my wedding day or like what should i do let me know also nikki i am very excited to see you in Lexington, Kentucky in less than a month. This will be my first in-person comedy show. And I'm very excited.

I've been listening to you for a very long time. Thanks. Thanks, girl. And how cool. I mean, what an interesting question. Yeah. This is a hard one. I'm going to go with.

Man, I know I can't relate to weddings being a special day like how like i think i can relate to this like if my sister wanted to got in if my sister got engaged at my comedy special my first comedy special taping or something like i'm trying to relate it to my own life of like this is my night and you're doing your thing but getting engaged is the same as coming out so that's tough too okay my sister comes out like if someone wanted to come out um i feel that your brother sounds like he's very angry with your family if he doesn't get back to things and he feel like, and he seems like he's probably not operating on a level that a functioning human would operate. If he's not getting back to text,

he's asking you for money and stuff might be all from the fact that he has had to hide who he is within your larger family and within your, you know, culture growing up in West Virginia. So my instinct is like throw him a bone. Like maybe him being able to come out will make him a better brother. But at the same time, you only get one wedding,

if it goes well. So maybe there's some kind of middle ground where he can come out. Maybe, maybe the wedding ceremony, boyfriend not there. I've skipped a wedding ceremony where my boyfriend went because it was just family. It was Catholic. And like, and then I went and got a massage and then I joined them for the reception later maybe the boyfriend shows up at the reception by that time you've had your glory of getting married it's time for you to just be on the dance floor and party anyway it's not you're not even going to notice the attention's not on you something

like that or maybe or maybe offering to you know support him in some way to facilitate him coming out in a different way with your family in a different time but hold his hand through it and support him and and offer your like love and support in and figuring out the best way to do that that isn't your wedding day um might be good uh but this sounds like a really tough situation and i do not um envy the position you're in so what do you guys think uh i am maybe being like neurodivergent on this you're getting married with a small wedding what do you think can i come out at your wedding i mean i have questions for this woman if she was here i'd ask follow-ups like is it more important that your brother comes out to you or is it more

important that you know how many people are coming to your wedding because that was confusing it sounds like she wants RSVPs no it sounds like it's it sounds like there's a she needs to find out if he wants to bring his partner or not it sounds like he probably has gotten back to her about like yes I do want to bring my partner and now it's the issue it started out it sounded like it was about like how many people i think the real issue is does my brother come out at my wedding or not i would say and it's going to be a big deal if he does show up with a guy lay off just say i mean it doesn't matter like he's gonna come out when it's his it's his journey but if he brings his boyfriend to her wedding it's a coming it's coming out so because everyone will see it so what it's his it's his journey but if he brings his boyfriend to her wedding it's a coming it's coming out so what because everyone will see it so what it's your it's your

wedding day oh she's she doesn't want the spotlight taken off herself i'm so confused yeah which i don't think is a bad thing to feel like nobody cares if you're gay in west virginia i'm sorry it's still a little bit backwards there in terms of like it sounds like her family is still it's gonna be the talk of the day okay let me read it's gonna be his day is she saying this i don't want my brother to come out at my wedding i'm having she's saying she's asking if she's if it's like selfish of her to have those feelings of like i kind of don't want my brother to come out of my wedding because it's gonna pull. You're allowed to have any feelings you want, but like beyond that, what is she really asking us? Is that it?

She's asking us if it's okay for her to tell her brother, don't come out at my wedding yet because it's just, it's too much of a big deal. And this is my day. It's totally okay. Okay. I completely misunderstood. Thank you.

I thought she was like, but do you understand why that would be hard to tell your brother? Like, especially given that he has spent his whole life closeted probably with their family

to be like closet yourself one more event yes of course but if you were dating a woman it would be no issue and you could

bring your new girlfriend but she's being so passive she's being so indirect like even I didn't understand what she's saying what she

really wants to say she's like cloaking with 15 things your i can't well yeah she's i can't think she's being i think she's ashamed of this feeling that she's having that she doesn't want to share this day with her brother's very important day of coming out which obviously she acknowledges the importance of that and she loves her brother and wants him to have that. I don't think this is her being like, stay closeted. I don't want anyone to know you're gay.

It's like, I don't want them to know. I don't want them to find out you're gay today. But he sounds reluctant to even RSVP. So it doesn't sound like she doesn't want to share the day. And I think a little bit harping on what Nikki said, there's nothing wrong with saying, I don't want some form of drama to happen at the wedding. I've spent a lot of time planning it

and I want the day to go like this. However, I do want to support you and I want to be there to hold your hand through this moment and to introduce your boyfriend to the family. Sometimes there's like a pre-event dinner. Why don't you invite him to that? Or some kind of family affair that happens before the wedding. So then that way at your wedding,

it could be a harmonious event. And hopefully even your, what did she say? Like her backwards family or whatever, we'll take some curiosity and use that as like a loving event to not only celebrate you, but get to know your brother in this new way,

new light in their world and his boyfriend. That's mine. You know, and now I'm coming at it from the brother's angle of like this weekend, I got, you know,

I was doing this event, the rock and angle of like this, this weekend I got, you know, I was doing this event at the, the, the rock and roll event I did. And there's these, I'm trying to, you know, went over this crowd and I have five minutes and I said something before the show,

I was like talking to the producers of the thing. And I was like, I'm a little nervous about what material to do. And they're like, we just want you to like kind of the, the auction is happening right after you go on. So maybe like kind of just like make fun of how they're all rich tell them to like fucking and i go yeah i'll be like you know i know you guys are rich and you're you got rich because you're greedy motherfuckers but like

tonight's not the night to be greedy we all know how you voted you know like i just said that i was just like riffing of like what the and then this guy took me aside and like was like really rich guy who's like part of the event was like, I know your act. Political stuff isn't going to work with this crowd. And I go, well, you don't know my act because I don't do political jokes. You just heard me like say that off the hand. So you're acting like you've like familiar with me. But I mean, I didn't say this, but I go, you well, you don't know my act because I don't

do anything political like ever. I was just, you know, say and I i tell you the second he told me not to fucking say something about voting you wanted to do i was five like the second you feel oppressed for something you know is right and the second you feel like don't upset trump people i mean that if that whenever i get told don't tiptoe around trumpers feelings i mean the the party of fuck your feelings and then i have to tiptoe around their feelings i fucking get enraged and i want to throw my whole set i mean i want to do all i want to go i want to i want to go the other way and and i feel it's all related to that injustice of like,

I just, I'm not going to let these people who like, I don't want to cater to their good time when they are on the wrong side of things. So I don't want, so I could see your brother being like, I'm so angry that I have to pretend I'm something other than I am because these people are so close-minded and I have to do it one more fucking night because my sister doesn't want to share.

Like I could see, and I can also see how he's a loose cannon and you telling him the truth, which is, I'd rather you do it another time, which is so fine for you to say. And I believe the way I would feel as well. I could see how that would be terrifying because he could have that reaction that I had,

which is like, Oh, another fucking injustice. Another time I have to keep my mouth shut. Well, I'm going to, when they say, does anyone want to object to this wedding? I'm going to stand up and go,

I'm gay. You know, like I could see it going. I could see how tricky this is. And I don't think I offered any solutions. Why does he get a plus one? Is it too late? Like, did she already invite him with a plus one? I mean, I think she said this was a month ago.

So I bet you we're going to find out in Lexington. I hope she gets a meet and greet. If you hear this. Come talk to us. Honey, go to the merch booth, get a meet and greet, and then tell us what happened because this is a month after you left the message. So something has happened in this time

So very excited, and we'll get answers to what happened with that guy

um the girl's brother and her wedding um thanks for listening anya are your teeth going to be normal next week uh i i know it'll be like three weeks well i look forward to that update did you think they would i don't know i don't know when you're having the when you're having them like the chick lit feeling removed i don't know if i can for like a while like i don't why because i have to live with these temporaries for a week then i'll shave them down again and make some adjustments and they send it to a fucking lab for three weeks yeah it takes forever i that that's why i asked i didn't assume it would be anytime soon but it's i'm just gonna live with this for a long time amazing as i've told you a million times like i'm thinking

about getting it too because it's so it just looks and now you can have whatever teeth you want and you're and they are big enough that you can now make them perfectly what you want them to be like they're giving you a lot of too much you can't get it back you won't though you won't okay did you feel like this when you got your vocal cord surgery like what if i come back absolutely i felt like this when i got lasik like i can't go back to having blurry vision who would want to but there was something about like i don't know if people relate to this, when you, you know, even when Kirsten got her Invisalign, she had like moved on and her teeth were straight.

She was like, I miss Invisalign. I want those back. Like you want, you just want, the other day you were kind of depressed and I go, I think it's because you just are getting rid of your teeth that you've had your entire life. I've betrayed my teeth.

Yeah, it's grief. I mean, your teeth, the old teeth are gone forever. If someone asks me how I'm doing, I'll just be like, I'm grieving my teeth. Yeah, I grieve hair. When I lose one strand of hair,

I go, this has been with me for four years. I look at it and I go, it's a half an inch a month at most. And I go, that's fucking two years with this thing. And I go, I I get sad so it makes total sense but I'm excited to see your smile as it evolves all right we gotta go thanks thank you
