Episode Date: October 26, 2023

Nikki is back home in STL, and her friend Taylor joins her in the studio. The consensus is that a lot of people need naps. Nikki and Taylor reminisce about the social order of their high school, which naturally leads to some discourse about Columbine. Brian is greatly perturbed by dueling commercials. Nikki talks about an adventure she had with Tom Sandoval after appearing on his podcast and shares the amazing gift he got her. In the Final Thought, they dissect the concept of cheating and the effort it takes.

The Nikki Glaser Podcast The Nikki Glaser Podcast Here's Nikki Hello, here I am, it's the Nikki Glaser Podcast Welcome I have morning voice too, we were just talking about Sexy Having like, I just sound smokier Yeah, sexual

A little bit worn out But but i'm excited for the show today welcome to the the podcast in studio with me is taylor mcgraw hello hello hello um and then brian frangie is here yeah i got the smoky voice too it's great yeah really but yours yours makes sense you and noah because you're in an earlier time zone It's early here too though I feel like 10-15 And I'm still on the west coast time zone I got back yesterday How long before it is out of your system?

Three days No way I think it gets out of mine I'm not joking you, 12 hours And then I'm hungry at all the right times again Sleepy at the right times But I'm very dependent on melatonin And I'm hungry at all the right times again, sleepy at the right times, but I'm very dependent on melatonin and I'm also hungry all the time.

So that doesn't really change anything. Melatonin is my boyfriend. It's the best. No, because I think it doesn't go up beyond 15 milligrams. People might scoff at that, but I take 15 milligrams a night and it knocks me out so good and i do wake up two hours later but i can always get back to sleep pretty easily oh sorry

the fan just turned on if you guys hear that i apologize um when i was in college struggle sleeping and i say melatonin just try it oh it doesn't work for me try a different brand like it's one of these things I can't give up on for people people don't understand their sleep is killing them if you don't sleep you gain weight you die faster you're more stressed

I just saw a study that said people who lack of sleep leads to dissatisfaction with your partner dissatisfaction with everything makes you Dissatisfaction with everything. Yeah. It makes you crazy. I could just die in your car.

It's just one of the things. You'll be driving to work. I just screenshotted it because I've been a little bit of a cranky bitch in my relationship recently, and so I screenshotted it for Chris. It says, research suggests that poor sleep can lead to increased feelings of anger, which in turn negatively impacts our perceptions of our romantic partnerships. So our perceptions of them, obviously, I hate when studies

are like, duh, if you're sleepy. But I feel like so many people are sleep deprived and they don't even realize that they are. And they're just cranky all the time. It's like when a baby doesn't realize it's sleepy. And it's crying. It's like when a baby doesn't realize it's sleepy and it's crying.

It's like, oh, what a color! And everyone's like, someone needs a nap. And it's so insulting when you're a baby or a kid and someone needs a nap. Oh, someone needed a nap this week for me. I was a little cranky baby. I was like, do you ever catch yourself getting upset about something and you, in the middle of it, know you're wrong? Oh, God. It's so embarrassing.

Every day of my life. Every day. It's so embarrassing. But you just have to keep chugging on or change the subject. Because you can't. Or be like, oh, did you think, oh, do you want to go to dinner? I just go, I go and go sleep. And I needed a nap.

Luckily, that was what I went and did. We got to be able to say that to adults. Like if there's someone complaining at a store and they're like, why don't you have the color of shirt I want? Yes. Sleep deprived. Somebody needs a nap.

Looks like someone, we should totally be saying that because it is true and it's so condescending. It's so rude. But they don't say it like, like the kid way. Road rage.

I haven't had someone say, look, Nikki, you need, oh, does someone need a nap? Like I haven't had someone say that to me since my mom. Like dorks say that. It's true though. Dorks at the library are like,

someone needs a nap. Oh, really? Yeah, it's like a turtle thing to say. You worked at the library, so you know. I know. And turtles are a dork, the dork population of our high school. They were referred to as the turtles

because they hung out on these sculptures of turtles and that's where they would go. That's why Taylor said turtle. That's where they create. There were these these sculptures of turtles and that's where they would uh that's why taylor said turtle like that's where they there were these big sculptures of turtles and that's where they would go and just like they lounged on the turtles like turtles like sunbathing on them just still emotionless but also holding each other and that's what we would call it creating unless you were one yeah cory told me my sister told me a story that her first day when she was a freshman, I'm older than her.

She sat on a turtle like in between classes and I went and grabbed her and was like, don't you ever sit by that turtle again. That's social suicide. I was like, I did not say social suicide. I did not say that. But the rest of it was true. Yeah, that is probably true that we did not want to be associated with the turtle. The mark of the beast, but the beast was just a little turtle.

Yeah. After all. I just remember that one day we were like, we weren't even making fun of the turtles. They were, but we, there was someone that was, and I guess we looked over at them or something and one of the turtles came over in a trench coat. Like this was trench coat mafia days. Like we're trying to be Columbineiney and like weird and goth and yeah they would try they would draw like anime cats in like porn renaissance gear yeah

always sketching anime oh yeah that's my favorite thing and this girl laurel i'll never forget i was kind of like she's a badass she walked over to her table which was not popular girls we had like the popular girls, you know how they were like further that way. Do you know what I'm talking about? Taylor? Like popular tables this way. This was our, there was like another table.

This was our table. And then turtles was over here. Right. Okay. So they, she didn't pick the popular table who was probably making fun of her. And listen, I wasn't perfect in high school.

I definitely made fun of the dork kids like I do about everything, but never to their faces. Never like shoving them or like tripping them or like giggling. Like I'm always very aware that everyone, like I'm not someone who will be like, I've had friends before be like, oh my God, there's a little person. There's a little person. And they don't say little person. You know what I'm saying?

And I'm like, even if that little person hears you whisper, they know you're talking about them. So shut up. Stop doing that. Or like nudging someone when you see someone like with no arms or no legs. That person looks weird. It's just like, God, that person's so aware. I know when I've looked like crazy, I've been very aware that everyone's talking about me.

And you can hear everyone whispering all the time. So like, just be cooler. So I was never that way. Maybe they're not aware anymore. Maybe because it's happening all the time they're just like they just don't care that's a good question i'm i wonder um if yeah you eventually just tune it out because you would have to because it becomes i think as a little person walking down the street the amount of attention you get and people like looking and then not looking and like is it rude to look yeah or if you're a you know really obese or if you just have like if you're a huge weird this girl these russian women in the store in the like um

international store they were skinny but their asses were enormous like a pregnant spider it was crazy from surgery probably i don't know i. But the mom who is a lot older also looked the same. So I think it was kind of natural. But I followed them through the store. I couldn't stop. It was like an actual like. I do love looking at body. I love anomalies.

I love, yeah, like being like, oh my God, that's not like me. That's not what I look like. Whoa. There's a really thing that annoys me in people that i almost like i have to like turn away because it's so it bugs me so much and i'm so sorry if someone you could like this is forever this is inclusive but it's something that if you're pronation on your feet like if you're wearing flip-flops okay it's usually only on flip-flops that you can tell because that's a shoe, a sandal, that the heel can go off the seat.

It becomes a wedge. If your heel is touching the ground almost, like on one side, like you're over-pronating in either way, I can't handle it. It looks so painful. It looks like a used eraser. Yes.

Like when people have tennis shoes and they're like, just straighten your leg. And I know that these are things that people can't help, but I'm so sorry if you, I have to say this. I don't know what you're talking about. I have,

I overpronate in my hips. So I look like a banana all the time. And I'm, I'm not comfortable to look at either. If someone has like really good posture, I'm sure they look at me and go, what's wrong with her? And they follow me around a grocery store

just gawking. But there are certain things that I can't take. I'm bow-legged. Sometimes people point that out. That's cute. Oh yeah, I've seen that on you. That doesn't bother me. It's like a bow and arrow.

When I was a little kid, I used to ride my bike. I always thought it was like, I thought it was like a bowl, like you're holding a bowl in it. What? No. Bow-legged. You thought it was bowl-legged? I thought it was like a bowl. Like you're holding a bowl in it. What? No. Bowl-legged.

You thought it was bowl-legged? I thought it was like tying a birthday bow. I guess I did think it was bow. I didn't think it was like a bow and arrow. I thought it was bow. That's amazing. I got confused somewhere. I don't know what the actual answer is,

but when I was a little kid, I used to ride my bike and my legs would stick out and so my knees would stick out and so I'd ride my bike like I would imagine an old Jewish man would. It probably didn't fit you if you had to stick out

your legs too much. This is the bow-leggedness. My legs would not go in. They would stick out. And everyone else was like, look at you, you chicken freak. You would have looked awesome on a horse. No one would have noticed. Great jockey. You would be like strapped onto the horse with ease.

Similarly, when I tried out for the basketball team in high school, the coach said that I run like a caveman because of my bow legs. That's insulting. That thing can be so mean. I had a limp in field hockey and they called me Grandma Jennifer because my hair was straight like Jennifer Aniston's because I ironed it. I was the only one that figured out how to literally put an iron to your hair wait you and I both discovered it together yeah I think you maybe got me into it I'm sorry that I

don't know you might have no no we did it Taylor and I used to literally straighten our hair with on an ironing board I can still do it to this day and people go if I don't have a straightener and I'm don't have a curling iron and I'm in a town and i don't want to just have fuzzy hair if i'm in a town if i'm in a town i pull out that straightening i pull out that ironing board i fire up that i turn off the steam because you don't want the steam going no hell and you don't spray starch on it no and you put it on about like a medium high heat because that's what a straightening, a good cheese straightening iron. Like back in the 90s, they did not, they would not trust it to be that hot. Like we couldn't, you couldn't get a good straightening iron in the 90s, early 2000s.

It was impossible to have Jennifer Aniston like straight hair. I don't know because that was before blowouts were invented. Like I did not know how to straighten my hair. Like it really is a different way you just get a curling brush and you blow dry it like that's all and you need kind of a nozzle on the blow dry to have a more direct thing but what would my dad say he said he would come down and say into his dressing room where we would be in his closet he would come downstairs and say, what the hell, Nikki?

It smells like the Holocaust down here. I go, why do you know what the Holocaust smells like? Why do you assume? Like, it was because it was burnt hair. And so he was just, I only remember it because you were like so freaked out by that. And I was like, that's just a normal thing for my dad to say, I guess. I was like, how does he know? Why would dad to say I guess I was like how does he know

why would he know and he doesn't know no he wasn't around then or I guess no he wasn't he was born in 50s I was like could he have been a child and just been around but what I was saying was Laura from the turtles came over to our

table oh shit beelined it and like the turtles no over to our table oh shit beelined it and like the turtles like no it actually was we this is what gave me like we weren't cool so this was like a cool thing and she just stood over and was like stop looking at us stop making fun of us she like stood up for herself and screamed at us and i remember being like oh i hope she doesn't think she definitely did she was looking at all of us looked us all in. Like, I just think it's so cool when a dork rebels and is like,

stands up for themselves and is like, you guys are pathetic. Even though we're dorks too. So it wasn't that hard. I don't feel like we were not even close to turtle dorks. Not even close.

That's a great Robert Frost poem. It was. It was awesome. But I felt it was misguided. But what do I know Maybe Maybe there was She needed to get something out

Good for her Yeah She should have done it to the poppies It stayed with me forever What did we call the populars Did we have a name No just the popular They didn't sit on any animal statues

So you couldn't think of anything Yeah There was no other They didn't sit on the like Statue of a cock We called them smokers The smokers Smokers We called them smokers. The smokers.

Smokers. Which turned into smokers. They would always like, I guess those weren't popular. We called them white hats, the guys. Really? Because they all wore white hats back then. That's in Columbine, the book. They call them white hats and they were trying to kill white hats. Oh, maybe I'm getting that from the book.

I probably am. We didn't call them white hats. And neither did the Columbine kids. That was a rumor. The Columbine kids hats and neither did the Columbine kids. That was a rumor. The Columbine kids as, sorry to interject my Columbine knowledge. No,

I want to. They weren't, they were popular. They weren't, they were like us. They weren't like, they weren't turtles. They weren't turtles.

They weren't seeking revenge on the popular kids. They were bullied a little bit. There was bullying. The Trenchcoat Mafia was something that was started by a generation or like the generation before them.

They were like the older kids that had graduated two years already prior that had a Trenchcoat Mafia that was just like a bunch of dorks that wore trenchcoats. And Eric and Dylan had asked for trenchcoats for Christmas or something and wore them occasionally, but they didn't call themselves the TM.

They should have just started doing comedy. I mean, the amount of school shooters who've been saved by stand-up comedy has got to be in the hundreds. It's got to be. It's interesting that they don't turn into shooters at some point. They don't come to an open mic.

It's really demoralizing. All right, wait, wait. Knock on wood for that. Please don't do that. They kind of want torture, don't you think? They're kind of masochistic. I mean, getting on and like doing stand-up is a little bit masochistic the craziest columbine thing i think i mean besides the fact that it was supposed to be a gigantic bombing and they were trying to redo um the oklahoma city bombing so it was it's a failed

bombing it wasn't a school shooting they never attended it to be a school shooting they wanted to be like a massive bombing which is very fascinating to me but the more fascinating thing was and this happens a lot in these like shooting things i'm sorry if trigger warning literally true um they got bored what do you mean killing people oh yeah yeah because people because whenever there's a shooting i don't know about you guys they They get bored or too disgusted. I always go, why aren't there more? Do you know what I mean? Because it's hard work. Because it is hard work. I didn't realize that how hard...

That is part of it. And guns are hard to get. Apparently, Eric and Dylan got bored and were also kind of disgusted by what they saw. It was a lot different than watching these. Didn't they get shot on sight though? How can someone tell that? No. They shot themselves.

How could someone tell that? That they got bored. They wrote notes. No they didn't. It's all speculative that they got bored but they could have killed so many more people. There were so many more people in the library and one of the guns backfired and Eric's nose got broken so he was

in a lot of pain. He was annoyed. They say for a lot of psychopaths, it just doesn't, they're searching for this like feeling and it didn't give them that. And they were like, this isn't it. They're going to feel like powerful.

And they wanted to shoot out with the cops and the cops were not coming in to kill them. And they were waiting in the library and the cops would not enter. And so the SWAT team wouldn't enter. And so they were just in the library and the cops would not enter. And so the SWAT team wouldn't enter and so they were just in there trying to like shoot out the window

trying to get something going with them and they wouldn't shoot back at them and so they eventually just shot themselves. But I just think it's fascinating to get bored to be like,

this doesn't do it for me. I don't believe they got bored. I think they've, I think they, not bored per se, I think they probably were like, this is disgusting. People are just like crying,

like peeing. This isn't cool. Shitting, like blood stinks. Now my, now my nose is broken. Yeah. It stinks.

Yeah. Like profound disappointment. It's just screaming. Yeah. It stinks like this stinks. Yeah. Shut up. Get me out of here.

This is boring. This is boring. We never do anything I just recently heard I guess it wasn't recently but some comedian had a bit about how when you're a kid all you say to parents is like we never do anything

we always just sit around I want to do something and then when you get to be an adult all you want to do is like you talk to someone after a weekend at work and you're like what did you guys do all this weekend and they go i didn't do it it was a weekend it was amazing that's john doing nothing is it yeah yeah yeah okay of course it is it was it's such a good point because i remember saying as a kid all the time we never do anything yeah come on you never say someone needs a nap all right let's go to break and then we'll come back and

talk about our weeks. I want to talk about me doing the Tom Sandoval podcast and what amazing thing I got out of that. Oh yeah. And then I want to talk about my schedule last week, which is insane. And I want to talk about

this weekend's besties that I met. I have a thing I want to talk about. It's besties that I met. Yes. It was not my airport story, but it was like a besties airport story. That's really good. Brian, what teased it? I want to ask you about this commercial feud. I was fascinated by a commercial feud

and I want to know if you think it's fascinating. Oh, alright. Did it air during the NFL game yesterday? It very well may have. It's a very well-trodden commercial. Okay, cool. We'll get to it when we get back. It's trodden.

Trodden. Sodden. It's well-trodden. 2025 is bound to be a fascinating year. It's going to be filled with money challenges and opportunities. I'm Joel. Ooh, and I am Matt. And we're the hosts of How To Money.

Let's get to the commercial feud. I'm really intrigued now. So you say that there's two companies that are feuding. I'm trying to think of one. I'm not trying to give a shout out to these companies. I don't like either of these companies. I don't think anybody does, honestly. And I don't want to give them free like...

The point of a commercial is to get people to talk about the commercials and so it's succeeding and that I hate capitalism has worked but this was pretty interesting to me there's this commercial that I think universally pretty everybody hates it's a Metro T-Mobile commercial and their new phrase is

yada yada yada and they have this horrible horrible song where in the background playing the whole time I'll play for like three seconds if it works. Okay. Oh, I haven't seen this, but I kind of have hated it. I've heard it in the background

and I've noticed that they're doing yada yada. Yeah, and I was like, why are they doing yada yada? Is that an homage to Seinfeld? Why are they doing this? And then the song is so bad. It's yada yada yada. I was like, why are they doing yada yada? Is that an homage to Seinfeld? Why are they doing this? And then the song is so bad. It's yada yada yada. Yada yada yada. And it's annoying and terrible. And the comments on some of the comments on YouTube

underneath where this commercial were posted are just, they're all, everyone's in agreement. This is like the opposite of Israel. Every time this commercial comes on, I start internally screaming. I like how we're all searching time this commercial comes on I start internally screaming I like how we're all searching for this commercial Even though it induces migraines Damn this sucks

This commercial aged very quickly I'll open a line if you remove this ad from existence Why do commercials nowadays have to be so god damn annoying Like this one Everybody on the internet agrees it sucks But the question is Do you think this is an homage to Seinfeld? Do you think they went yada yada yada?

Isn't George Costanza in it? No, not this one. Isn't he in this other one? That's where the feud begins. The first question is, do you think that this is a Seinfeld thing? Is that why they're saying yada yada yada? Yada yada is Seinfeld.

It never existed before then. They owe Jerry Seinfeld money. It did exist before. Yada yada. Yada yada is Seinfeld. It was never existed before then. They owe Jerry Seinfeld money. It did exist before. Yada yada did exist but they popularized it. Yada yada is not one of the phrases that Seinfeld like double dip and close talker and man hands. Those were actually the first time it was said was Seinfeld.

Yada yada was said but then Seinfeld brought it into Seinfeld brought it into Seinfeld brought it into Like the The zeitgeist The zeitgeist Yeah it's a zeitgeist move So do you think that

They're doing yada yada As a Seinfeld homage But they're also saying Not a yada yada They're not mentioning Seinfeld at all What do you think? Um

Yes of course They are capitalizing On the popularity Of yada yada Being a thing from Seinfeld but they're not going to claim that it is there's no way that it's not like trying to get people who

know that phrase from Seinfeld to like pay attention even if they knew it before they know that they wouldn't put it in the commercial they know people know about it from Seinfeld yes because you have like an old Jewish grandma that says it? Do a lot of people say it?

Or is it New York people that are Jewish say it? I don't think anyone says it. Not Seinfeld. Not anymore. But yeah, back in the 80s people were saying it all the time. No, I doubt it. Okay, so what's the thing so um but also the

weird thing about this commercial is that like they're not even using yada yada right there's they're going not a yada yada like there's no yada yada that doesn't make any sense to what sign called established it not any yada yada they just it was yada yada yada. And yada. It was yada yada yada. It was three yadas for Seinfeld. Yeah, they replaced one with a nada. Yada yada yada. I got the lobster best. They just like that it rhymed.

When they say nada yada yada, they mean that there's no bullshit in the contracts, which is not really what yada yada means. That means you skip over stuff.

It's like kind of almost there, so it's super annoying. Have you ever bought something because of a commercial? No. Oh, well, I wanted something. I mean, it's just subconsciously we have.

You do it subconsciously. That's the thing. You do it subconsciously, yeah. I don't think so. I think consciously, have you ever? I will say that the Pete Davidson commercial for Taco Bell, Chris and I were agreeing that it's like the best vehicle for him. Like, it's just a good, it starts up behind the scenes and they're setting up the commercial

and he's talking about Taco Bell doesn't have breakfast? What? That'd be like what did he say? Putting a pharmacy on top of a mountain. He does all these dumb analogies that are really poorly written. I feel like he should have gotten a one for that script.

Then it cuts to the commercial and he's like Taco Bell now has breakfast tacos. And I turn to Chris and I don't eat anything that's in that breakfast taco. Literally not one ingredient. But I go... Because sometimes I don't even know what is good anymore in terms of like... I used to be a junk food connoisseur as a kid

and know all the best stuff. But now I'm just out of it. And I turn to Chris and I go, that's good looking, right? Like that looks amazing. He's like, you're 100% correct. It looks so fucking good. That's not what it's going to look like in real life. Yeah, but it's a very simple thing.

It looks like a quesadilla. A quesadilla. Which are pretty easy to look like that as long as you get that cheese pull. Okay, what's the feud? I do feel like that's true that Taco Bell is a better vehicle for Pete Davidson than SNL was. The feud is... So then, another

commercial came out with Jason Alexander as a response to this commercial, which when I was watching the Jason Alexander commercial, I was like, is this part of the other campaign? Or is this a new... And then I looked into it and I was like, oh, this is their rival. This is...

It was T-Mobile versus... It's weird. They're all changing their names. Verizon. Yeah, this is basically like a Verizon called Visible. They're calling Visible by Verizon. So it's like... Yeah.

I don't know why they're changing their names. Why are they calling themselves Visible? But that's what they're doing. And it's like HBO Max Max. There's a reason we're not stupid. Because there's a whole marketing department that needs to justify their jobs. Ah! Shots fired.

So in this commercial, you've probably seen this commercial where Jason Alexander is sitting in a boardroom with two smug boardroom guys who are like, here's what we're going to do. And I didn't realize that, but that is a direct attack. a boardroom with two smug boardroom guys who are like, here's what we're going to do. And I didn't realize that, but that is a direct attack. The boardroom guys are the guys, they're portraying the guys who came up with the other commercial,

the yada, yada, yada commercial. And Jason Alexander is going in there saying like, you don't even know what yada, yada means. Why are you doing this? You guys are stupid. Whoa. Yeah. So out of context, does that commercial make no

sense? At first, I saw it four times and I was like, why is he doing this? I think that's why I haven't glommed onto it because if I see anything with a Seinfeld person in it doing, I'm going to pay attention to that ad. That one does not peak with my interest. No. And I didn't get that it was an attack on

their thing. These people are up their own asses. They're like, everybody's talking about the not a yada yada commercial. We need to respond. Everyone's talking about Taylor Swift. That's the only thing everyone is talking about that you can comment on. And literally everyone is. Yeah, well, that's what I'm saying. There's nothing else culturally.

So maybe the war, but they're not going to go there. But yeah. So they paid Jason Alexander probably like a million dollars to respond to this yada yada yada commercial that nobody gave a shit about do you know Jason Alexander like was kind of shitty yeah like

I just saw one instance of it so who knows if this is just maybe he was trying to be entertaining on Howard Stern a lot of times you go on these shows and you want to have like a good story something that's gonna like pop and especially howard stern if you're not into anal like what do you got you know you got to bring something to talk about that's gonna make him excited so he said that susan he like volunteered this without even being like prodded on it you know susan his wife on seinfeld who dies from

the envelopes yes she was killed off because he didn't like acting opposite her and that it was joyless and he couldn't feel inspired i mean i'm paraphrasing and it's been a while since i've seen it brian you remember right it was this am i accurate yeah i mean her character is annoying you're accurate in telling me what you told me already so oh I already told you this well no like look it up Brian look it up and see what he said about Susan on Howard Stern because he really did say

we had to kill her off because I didn't like acting with her and this poor woman first of all she was awesome she was good her character was annoying but I thought it was supposed to be exactly she's like yeah But I don't know What it's like If you're the star of a show

And someone comes on And is cast as your wife And then they're like You just don't have chemistry And you have power Enough to kill them off Should you Yeah he was an absolute

Star of Seinfeld He's not the star Seinfeld is not Seinfeld Without George Costanza Do you think they did What Jason Alexander wanted Yes You want the quote

Jason Alexander is definitely Top four Top four on Seinfeld Okay so he says Jason Alexander wanted? Yes. Do you want the quote? Jason Alexander is definitely top four on Seinfeld. Okay, so he says... Jason Alex... Oh, sorry. I have it too. Okay. Go on.

At the same time. Okay, ready? Just kidding. No, no, no, don't do that. Jason says... No, I'm not doing it. Okay, he goes, I love Swetberg. You guys aren't good at that.

She's a terrific girl. I love her. I couldn't figure out how to play off her. Her instincts for doing a scene where the comedy was and mine were always misfiring. She would do something and I would go, okay, I see what she's

going to do. I'm going to adjust to her. Then I'd adjust and she'd change. It was just interesting. I think it's the first time I've ever heard someone say like I didn't like them. So I had them gone, which, you know, I appreciate the honesty because that happens a lot in Hollywood and they don't talk about it. And it's just one example of someone being like, no, go away. You know, actually, I was listening to Fran Lebowitz on.

This is actually apropos. Julia Louis-Dreyfus's podcast, Wiser Than Me, I think is the name of her podcast. And she just talks to older women about what they've learned. And it's so good. And Julia Louis-Dreyfus is just an amazing host and an amazing person. I love her so much. She's talking to Fran Lebowitz, who said that she, you know, Fran is like, she's such an interesting person. So smart, so fascinating, so funny.

But she was saying, I hold grudges and I don't forgive. Forgiveness is overrated. She's like talking about how she really sticks it to people. And Julia Rodriguez is begging her, like one example of doing this, like of like, you know, and she pretty much says, all right, I'll give like, I'm not going to, I'm never going to name names. She's very like staunchly,

immediately Julia Redreyfus like gives up. She's like, come on. And she's like, I'm not going to. And she's like, okay. And then she's like, I will say that if there is someone, they do me wrong. I think you're never going to get the thing.

I have connections to that person so that you'll never get that thing that you want the rest of your life. Something to that effect. And then Julia Redriver says, I've also played that card. And I love that because I plan on playing that card when I have a late night show someday and there's a certain girl

that wants to come on that was rude to me at a taping. I have a list of people that if I have a late night show someday and they want to promote their new album or whatever and I just go, no, they're actually not coming on. I like find out that day because a list of people that if I have a late night show someday and they want to promote their new album or whatever. And I just go, no, they're actually not coming on. I like find out that day because a lot of times, like, I bet Jimmy Kimmel finds out who the guests are as he enters in. And I would go, no, actually, I'm going to have on Brian Franchi today instead of that person.

Because I'll call up a friend if we need to fill in that. You can tell them to go home. But we already bought their hotel, paid for the flight. I'll eat the cost. They're not coming on my show. You can tell them to go home. But we already bought their hotel, paid for their flight. I'll eat the cost. They're not coming on my show. I can't wait for that. Their whole team is there. They picked out a dress.

They spent thousands of dollars on hair and makeup. Why not? And you just don't say. Oh, remember I was that girl that you didn't think was going to ever be anything? I love that kind of payback.

I mean, who doesn't? It's a bit. It's what it is my whole life revolves around trying to accomplish that oh my god the best version of that i ever had and i've probably told it on the show before but i was um i'll say pete lee and i had like a love affair when we were very young 21 i think i was and i thought i was going to be with him forever and he was dating this girl at the time and yes I knew about her and I didn't

care so kill me and he was like I don't know how to choose between you two and his relationship was kind of falling apart and he was like maybe I'll go back and dump her for you and that was like the plan but then he never did and I remember thinking like oh he just thinks I'm just some girl in Kansas City

that he met on the road. Some like open mic-er. Because he at the time was like a feature act, which to me was like famous. But I was like, oh, he just thinks I'm like some girl that's like, he's never going to have to deal with. I'm going to become famous just to haunt him the rest of his life.

So he has to see my face. And years later later we became you know great friends and he told me he married that woman by the way and he's not divorced and he's remarried congratulations but he remarried that woman he said that when my my show either on mtv or comedy central came out there were ads on the subway and he was sitting next to his wife who was like they were already not doing good and they had to both and she knew about me because she was like you have to choose and whatever and he chose her and then years later they're on the train and my poster is like all you know like wrapped around the train and they can't escape and they just have to sit

in it and they can't talk about it because but they both know and that is that so sick that I love that? No. You should want people to be happy even people that have hurt you. Yeah. But it made me feel so good

that he was like it was so awkward walking into that train car that I was really hoping that we would get the one that was like for the Met Gala

or like you know the new Met The Mummy. Yes. The Mummy. Hoping that we would get the one that was like for the Met Gala or like, you know, the new Met. The mummy. Yes, the mummy. But yeah, I just feel. Does any.

Do you have any stories of that? I have one of just like sticking it to someone. I used to have this guy bully me on the way to junior high school. And I think like now when i look back at it like he just probably liked me i mean like he would follow me home and like put snow down my shirt he was like awful to me and then like fast forward i started working in radio and you know like where howard stern worked right so it was like a big deal and he added me as a friend on facebook and i go and i see he's clearly a howard stern fan and stuff and i'm like oh okay good i'm gonna add him so you can see where i work and how cool i am right now and he's just this like loser firefighter how would

he bully you loser firefighter he would loser job well i think maybe i i told this on the show like he would like i used to have a mustache and he would chase me down king's highway singing gillette the best a man can get and you know like snow down my shirt he would just like i don't know it was he liked you yeah crush yeah i think crunch and and and now that i like look back at it like you know it was he liked to yeah crush yeah I think crunch and now that I like look back at it like you know he was raised by like a single mom

like he couldn't have had an easy life but I still enjoyed no mustache in his family he couldn't grow a mustache actually because he had a scar over his lip

oh wow this is very no dad scar over his lip he sees you have a mustache and he's like I want that. He wants her. He needs it.

He's making fun of the thing that he can't have. You know what? Slogans really fucked kids over. Being able to sing little things like that made bullying... O'Reilly auto parts. Why is that in my head? Does that have to be in my head?

That one, I actually do love that one. And every time it comes on, because my friend, a good friend of mine was in college and he was selling cocaine. He had just gotten into selling coke. And a week after he was dabbling in coke sales, it doesn't even matter.

He was selling coke on this small college campus in Missouri. And he got narked out by one of the O'Reillys. One of the lineage of O'Reilly. Oh, shit. And we always say, O'Reilly,

he's a nark. And so every time I go past an O'Reilly, I flick him off and I send him a picture of it. And so he'll forever hate O'Reillys. You ever hear a commercial where they just half-ass? They decide at the last second they need a jingle. And so they just half-ass it and they

go like, Anderson's, Anderson's, Anderson's. And it ends really quickly. Or it doesn't rhyme at all. They're like, Walmart, a place you can go and get food. Why can't you make it rhyme at all? There's things that rhyme with Walmart.

My favorite jingle that I still remember to this day is the Skip It. Oh, yeah. Skip it, skip it, skip right to it. I don't remember that part, but I like this. But the very best thing of all, there's a counter on this ball. I like a jingle that tells you how to use a product. It's like you don't have to read the instructions. See if you can beat your very best score.

See if you can jump a whole lot more. Skip it, skip it. By Milton Bradley. I loved that counter on the ball. I loved the counter on the ball. It was the very best thing of all. There's nothing better than that counter on the ball. I loved the counter on the ball. It was the very best thing of all. There's nothing better than a counter on this ball. I wish they would sell the counter separately.

That was genius. I know. That was so cool. That was the first time it just felt like this is technology, baby. This thing could count how many times it's been around. Counterweighted. Counterbalanced. Because all you do as a kid is count how many times it's been around. Counterweighted. Counterbalanced. Because all you do as a kid

is count how many times you can do something. In the 90s, that's all we had. We were just counting. Counting beans out there on the side of the road. About crossfire.

You have that? Remember crossfire? If you don't get caught up in it, crossfire. Oh, wait. I don't like an it. I don't like an it. You'll get caught up in it no no don't use

it in a song those two kids are playing crossfire in that commercial and then one of them kills the other and banishes them to hell yeah there were some brutal things going on um in commercials i will say that people like we were counting so much in the 90s and i think that like things have made people stupider now because okay so i've noticed at starbucks when you pick up a mobile order it will have like um a to e for like names a to e f to l and then l m to But, okay, so it'll have like a dash, right? Like A dash. F. E.

But they, I've seen so many people struggle. My N, N is a hard one. People don't know where to put it. Sometimes it's in the S to Z part. Sometimes it's in the A to F part. Oh, yeah.

God. And then I've noticed like, people don't know the alphabet anymore. No. And it's a struggle for some people. And maybe it's a dyslexia thing. Maybe it's our, you know,

country's education system. But lately I've been going to Starbucks and they have a new system and they just write A, B, C, D, E, F,

G. Oh, wow. And they now spell out the whole alphabet. That's insane. I know. It's I-N-S-A-N-E. Have you ever tried to get change from someone and then you're like, oh, wait, I have nine

cents so I can add to this so you get, and they will just like almost cry, like sweat. Yeah, well, math, forget about it. They cannot. Math is over. And I'm really bad at math, so I understand. So I'm like, oh, I think you just give me $5. And they're like, no, I don't think so. I want to do this on my own for some reason and struggle.

This girl, the other day she was sweating and shaking. You got to count up. That's the lesson I learned at the deli. You count up. I told a really funny joke that I probably shouldn't tell here, but yes I can because it's just a joke. There was a person that called into Chris's radio show

today that was really struggling. They were supposed to play this game first five notes and they play five notes and then the song is like Like they were supposed to play this game first five notes and like they play five notes and then the song is like, they just have to guess it. But you always win first five notes. So like if you don't know the song, Chris and Tim and Brando and Courtney will like help you get it.

So if it's like bittersweet symphony, they'll be like when a, when coffee has been left out too long, it's like a game of catch blank. If you are mad about something like, yeah, it's a game of catchphrase. It turns into game so this guy could not i mean it was it turned out he was 24 he also like was in a car with a lot of loud people so there's a lot of things going on but

there was a twang in his voice and a kind of hoosier the yeah i was i was worried that he was just not like that it was turning into like this is someone who has like a you know is not been educated and like is struggling and like oh no like how do they even call into the show how do they even dial the phone and then at one point they were trying to get him to

guess a band that was like D it was like OMR or something I don't know there's some band OAR no it wasn't OAR it was OMD it was like OMR or something. I don't know. There's some band. OAR. No, it wasn't OAR. OMD. It was OMD. Yes, yes, yes.

OMD. It was that. It was that band. And so they said, what is the letter after N? And I wrote to Chris and Tim and I said, I swear I thought

he was going to say I. I got so nervous. Like, what letter comes after N? Which I thought was a pretty good joke because he seemed like that from that part of town. No offense that people who use

that word, I think might be pretty not smart. That seems like a pretty good joke. We'll leave it. All right. We'll come back with more show after this. 2025 is bound to be a fascinating year. It's going to be filled with money challenges

Addiction took me to the darkest places. I had an AK-47 pointed at my head. But one night, a new door opened, and I made it into the rooms of recovery. The path would have roadblocks and detours, stalls, and relapses. But when I was feeling the most lost, I found hope with community. And I made my way back. This season, join me on my journey

I had a summer job where I was a game show host of this sleazy guy who was actually named Big Al. He had like a game show that would travel to different summer camps. I had a little summer job where I would go along with him and be his assistant.

Then he would do this quiz show with these kids, like a little thing that the kids got to do that day for summer camp, like some bullshit Long Island thing. One time, he let me host the game, which is a very rare opportunity for me. That was my thing. He's hungover. I just wanted to be the host. He probably was.

He's like, God, somebody please. So many things happen when you're a kid because of parents being hungover, teachers being hungover, and you don't think about it until later. I just realized that like two days ago. Mommy's always sick. That just popped into my head. Yeah. I was like, what if my teachers were hungover? They were. There's a meme about like

whenever this would roll in, it's like the TV that is strapped down on the cart. They go, your teacher was hungover. And it's just kind of like, I can't believe that. Okay, so you've got to host this event. This guy would put me in so much danger. I'd get in his van and we would drive to Maine or someplace where there was a camp

and he would get so tired that he would, he had a little cooler filled with yogurts next to his seat in the van and he'd have to take out ice and ice water and splash it in his face to stay awake while we were driving. And sometimes he'd be like, can I drive? Just let me drive. I was like 17, 18 or something.

And he's like, never. You'll never drive the van. Anyway. He was like falling asleep. So I got to host this one time. Splash yogurt in his face. Icy yogurt water in his face. Oh, really? I can't keep up.

I can't stay awake. What is... And then he'd splat. All right. I'm good. I'm good. Can I just drive? I'll just drive for an hour.

No, you'll never drive. And I got to host this one day. And these were like, you know, seven-year-olds or something like that. And we were doing the game show for. One of the kids was really just not with it. One of the questions was, what state

in America is west of Virginia? That's hard. Seven-year-olds. They couldn't get it. I was like, okay, what state is west of virginia and they're like i don't know and then i would go i guess well you play the kid you play the kid in

this situation okay okay what state is west of virginia alabama west of virginia west what state is west virginia west virginia okay so they didn't get it. And I said, and then no one, everyone just sat there silently, and then I went, well, the answer's Kansas. And then nobody laughed, and then I said, no, no, I'm just kidding, it's West Virginia. And after the whole thing ended... Man, I'm so dumb.

After, like, these kids were too dumb to get, I said, what is West Virginia? No. I said, I changed it to just, what is West Virginia? Say West Virginia. And then Big Al. Oh, right, like this is Celebrity Jeopardy. Yeah.

And then Big Al pulled me aside at the end of the day, and he said, if you ever do anything like that again, I swear to God, you'll never work another day in your life. So he's going to murder you? You'll never drive, and you'll never work a day in your life. This isn't a joke. This isn't a fucking joke. This isn't a joke. This is definitely a joke. A clown show.

Alabama is so far from Virginia. That was humiliating. Yes, I don't know geography at all. It's really a blind spot for me. And I just made fun of people who don't know the alphabet. When you're flying over, look at the little map. I don't care to do this. Oh, it's so fun.

Do you know where it shows you where you are? Yeah, I'm asleep. And also, it's not that I don't know it and haven't seen it and tried. I've had maps in my life before and have surrounded myself with them because this is an insecurity of mine. It just doesn't stick. It doesn't disc-geographia. Yeah.

There's something going on. There's some easy ones you could get. What's north of California? That's Oregon. Yeah, there you go. See, you're not that- What is Missouri's hat? Iowa.

Oh, yeah. That's all it is. Well, that's because I live in Missouri, but I did not know that Missouri had seven states bordering it. Oh, yeah. That's all it is. Well, that's because I live in Missouri, but I did not know that Missouri had seven states bordering it. Oh, yeah. Do you know what touches Kentucky

on the very tip of the heel? I didn't know that. I didn't know it until recently. Just the tip. I have a question. Where does Tom Sandoval live? He's from St. Louis.

He is? Actually. Yes. Isn't that crazy? He went to Hazelwood West, which I don't know anything about. Do you know anything about that? Hazelnut.

Because, I mean, you know that. Hazelnut Acres? I don't know. It doesn't tell you about that person. No. To me,

I don't know where Hazelwood is. It doesn't tell you who's rich or anything. In St. Louis, it's famous that if you go, if you live in St. Louis, you ask people where you went to high school. It's like a trait of our city is that everyone asks that. Oh because we're supposedly we're all

trying to figure out people's socioeconomic status by asking that question which it does say that often if you are saying a private school but if you say a public school i really don't know the difference between the parkways no i don't know like there's windberg kind of so he said hazelwood west and then that was the end of our conversation. I was just like, oh, okay. So you went on his podcast, right? Yeah, and I was nervous about it because everyone hates him. And the podcast is called Everyone Loves Tom. Why?

Because he cheated on his girlfriend of nine years with her friend. Oh. On a TV show. And everyone knows that? Yes. It was called Scandaval. It came out in March of this year.

It was like, honestly, the biggest news story of the year up there with taylor swift and kelsey travis kelsey like a celebrity news story is probably the biggest one like in terms of just people talking about it yeah um yeah i i'm i went on um nick viles podcast that day i did five, as I told you guys last week. And then the first podcast I did that day was Nick Viles. And he was talking about how he had talked to Tom about, they were on a show together called Special Forces, where they put celebrities in, like, to train, like, Special Forces, whatever. Oh, my God. So they were, like, at one point.

You should do it. I know. I really want to. It would be fun. I don't know. I'd be so scared but i think i would say yes but anyway so they were talking on that show and nick said that he asked tom like i think it'd be really cool if you could say on camera that you'll never cheat

again that you'll never do that to someone again and tom's like i can't i'm not gonna say that it would be a lie you never know and and nick was like how can you not say that and i was kind of like i don't know that I could say that. Like I, even in my wedding vows, if I ever get married, it will be, I hope to never cheat. I don't want to do this to anyone, but I can't say that I never, no one can. How many things in your life as a human being have you thought I would never do that? And then you do it. I don't want to get into no free will stuff because this is all connected to that but it's like

you don't really have control over your impulses and you might act on something that you don't and I think yeah some people have a stronger willpower or whatever that is but I found out so I said that on Nick's podcast I started like feeling like I was panicking because I just felt like no one in the room everyone was just like

what the fuck you couldn't say that you never cheat and I'm like no because I mean I could say that I hope to never and I'm likely to never because it's not something that's in my character to do to someone will I be the other woman again more likely because I don't see that that is as big of a problem come at me I I don't I don't want to ever do that again but I I would say that that's more likely than me ever cheating on someone and hurting someone that I like know would I do what Raquel did? probably not and like cheat

with someone who is my friend's boyfriend I don't think that would ever happen but can I say it would never happen? no because I am a person that's fallible and people who think they will never do things don't understand the scope of possibility yeah it's weird to even say

that you wouldn't do something so that was my point and i felt like really weird about it and i felt bad about it and i felt like oh my god if chris ever sees this he's gonna think i'm gonna cheat on him or like and that wasn't my point my point is is that i just don't know what my brain is capable of and that's uh just a bigger issue at play but i thank you so much to this bestie who sent me a clip that made me feel so validated on instagram of this man asking his wife who's holding his baby in the clip if you would ever cheat on me and what this girl says i find is exactly the what i was trying to say but she says it in a more, I guess, eloquent and more socially acceptable way. Could you ever cheat on me?

Absolutely. That's why you'll make dumb decisions like talking to guys one-on-one or hanging out in compromising situations. I'm a human being. You're a human being. And I'm sorry babe i don't know if this is hard for you to to hear but everybody is absolutely capable of infidelity in the right slash wrong circumstances that's why boundaries are so important you're never going to see me in a situation even if people think i might be too strict i don't care because i'm not taking that chance i'm not putting myself in a position to even be close to a position to potentially fall

to temptation i'm going to keep it 100 because anyone is capable of cheating. She's going to keep it 100. She's going to keep it down to cheating 100 times. She already planned that whole statement out. Yeah, I mean, they definitely rehearsed that. There's no question. Everything on TikTok is rehearsed. Maybe if you hold the fan up to the baby also

while we're filming. Yeah, she's like fanning the baby. It's all very set up and rehearsed. They could have found a quieter place to shoot it, but I guess they wouldn't have had the beach background. But I think even, I just found a flaw in that. She says, I'll never put myself in a position where I'm talking to a guy one-on-one. Well, you can't say that either,

but I do like what she's talking about, which is like, you don't understand the circumstances in which cheating, people always think they're not gonna cheat. Do you think people stand and take their vows and think i'm gonna cheat someday i'm gonna get divorced someday how many people are divorced half of people who get married or divorce how many people walking down that aisle or standing at that altar think they're gonna get divorced someday probably not that many i think i think actually they i remember aziz ansari when

he was working on research for his book that he was writing about modern romance. I saw him a couple times at the Cellar. And I probably said this on the pod before, but it bears repeating. He would be on stage and he would ask, who here's divorced? And then he would say, when did you know? And so often they'd say at the wedding. Wow. Because I think a lot of people go ahead with the wedding because it's

because it's planned. There's so many things behind it. There's so much money put into it. And honestly, divorce seems like less of a hassle than unsending all those invitations because it kind of is. You can do it privately.

Oh my God. No, divorce is a business. You can do it privately later. Divorce will drain you of terms. Everything you've got. I know, but if you're in that moment where you've already like booked, like you're doing a destination wedding, you've got. I know, but if you're in that moment where you've already

booked, you're doing a destination wedding. You've already put $30,000 down. And the family pressure. Everyone's gotten the invites and you have to send 200 people a follow-up saying we're not doing this anymore. And everyone's already bought their tickets to go and you're

having doubts two weeks out. I don't know about you. I'd probably just go through with it and say, I'll just handle the fault. I know the divorce will be way messier that at least I won't have to tell everyone and be so embarrassed. No, you don't have to send everybody an invitation to your divorce. And then people just quietly find out about it and little trickles over the years. I would hope that I would be smart enough to be like, I'm just going to stand up for what I believe in this moment and just do what's right for me. But I don't think that I would hope that I would be smart enough to be like, I'm just going to stand up for what I believe in this moment and just do what's right for me. But I don't think that I would.

I'm someone who's very susceptible to, I've put people out. I've got to just go through with it. Yeah, I think everybody would do that. They would be nice. You just deny it. You just put it in the back of your mind. Like, I'm imagining this.

I don't really think this. It's just nervousness. Yes. Cold feet. I mean, we have terms for all of these things. Cold feet is just, that's a fake thing

because you're scared of committing. But like, no one ever goes, well, maybe you should be because we live really long now.

Yeah. And this isn't like a- You're not going to die in childbirth in two years when you're 24. Yeah. Yes,

exactly. You're stuck. Yeah, you're stuck. You're going to have to go on cruises with this person when you're 24. Yeah, yes, exactly. You're stuck. Yeah, you're stuck. You're going to have to go on cruises with this person when you're 68. Yes. I'm making the joke, but I really do think 40 is too young to get married. And I don't really think I'm, I plan on living till 90 and I love Chris and I would love to be with him until I'm 90.

But that is a really long time to commit to something. And I think it's too long. If anything, it's too long for him to commit to me. I that's too much pressure for me to be one person for someone forever. I would hope that it would go that long, but I don't need to tether myself to that, uh, timeframe anytime soon. A little nervous. So anyway, Tom Sandoval's podcast, I want to just follow this up. I went on there. We had a really good time. I just like gave him shit the entire episode and but then we also got into some stuff of like i really did go in like i said i would last week and i said so i i said something like are you gonna kill yourself soon like we really want to know like because people wanted his head and everyone's just like it's not enough whatever he no matter how much he apologizes he's always making excuses his apology is always an excuse everyone no one he's a cheater forever

once a cheater always a cheater damn him to hell he should lose everything i'm not saying what he did was okay but i really think the reproach which he has been met with is so insanely just harsh and i'm um it's not anybody's business it's well it's not a reality show because he's a reality show I mean

it is literally everyone's business sorry I don't know it's from Vanderpump Rules is that show oh okay so and they've been on the air for 11 seasons

you took our money yeah it's it's kind of it's our business but I just don't think that so luckily that joke worked out

where I was like, I'm just checking in. Are you going to die soon? Because that's what we all want. How are you going to do it? Because that's the only way this is going to. Really is what we want to know. Yeah, I should have asked. At first, I think if I'm remembering correctly,

it at first was like, there's sometimes when you tell a joke like that and I don't think most people know this feeling. Actually, I think most people do. Everyone can relate to telling a joke where you're like, I don't know if this is going to go over. I can relate to that a lot. And like there is a 0.8 seconds, 0.4 seconds where it is like up in the air of if it's like a slow motion. Is he going to catch it? Like a sports movie.

And that happened in that moment. And then it landed and then he laughed. And I was like, oh, thank God. Well, you have a benefit of the doubt because you're a famous comedian. So whenever you say anything, if it's slightly confusing to somebody, they'll just laugh.

Yeah, they just assume. That's a good point. No, they were really generous with laughter. And Tom Schwartz, who's also on Vanderpump, was there. It was nice that I'm not familiar with the Vanderpump show at all because these people are massive celebrities to anyone who watches the show. And I didn't care at all. Like, I think they're the type of people that I'm like,

oh, I would love these. I would be like kind of nervous right now. Because these guys are like, I could tell they're reality stars. They're good at what they do and they're interesting. I'm like, I would be so nervous right now if I cared you know but i was glad that i didn't um but um afterwards at the end of the podcast towards the end it's on air you can listen to it they're like we're talking about singing because he sings and he's in a cover band and he's actually a really good singer um and people make fun of him not being good he's actually really good i heard it with my own

ears i heard it with my own eyes. I heard it with my own eyes. And he was like, we should go do karaoke tonight. I'm like, I have a set. And I'm like, also we're on air. So I'm like, sure. Yeah. But also there was a part of me that was like, I love karaoke. And I only do it like once a year on my birthday.

It's so good. This person knows where karaoke is going on tonight. He's like, oh oh there's a great spot final thought so I agreed on air I said I'd have to go do a set and also that day

I'd been up since 6am I had done 5 podcasts you did 6 podcasts yeah 6? 5? I don't know 6 I think I did 5

including ours and um so I was just like worn out but I was kind of still energized like we just had like a really it was a really good podcast to end the day. He made some kind of mocktail that I think had zero proof tequila in it. But I think even zero proof tequila has something that gave me like.

I think it's like decaf. Yeah. It's like de-alc. Yeah. There's a little, there's trace. And so I was just feeling maybe the placebo of it. And I was like, yeah, I'll fucking sing karaoke. So then after we wrapped, we, he was like yeah i'll fucking sing karaoke so then after we

wrapped we he was like i'm serious let's go there's like a place and like we'll all meet up and so everyone was like let's go do karaoke and i was like all right so i went and got in the car and i went and did my set and then he's like i went back to my hotel to like eat dinner and then i'm texting him being like when's karaoke and he's like probably not till 10 and literally is at a place right next to my hotel it's at the saddle ranch and i'm like and it's nine o'clock and i'm like i'm not gonna make it and i was like i'm sorry tom i would love to go do karaoke another night when i'm in town because i really that does sound so fun but i can't do it tonight and he was like he totally thank god you know i don't know this person so i'm glad that he was not like come on dude you're like oh that sucks

he was just like oh did you do five podcasts today yeah i think you you probably have a reason he was not like come on dude you're like oh that sucks he was just like oh did you do five podcasts today yeah i think you you probably have a reason he was like yeah and he was like and he goes and i know a spot tomorrow this great karaoke i love that this guy goes out and does karaoke all the time i think this needs to be my life so good the next night we went and did um i i thought i was gonna bail i gotta be honest with you because the next day i had to do the talk and then i had to do two different podcasts and then another like radio thing and so it was a long day the next day as well um but i he followed up and was like hey during the day he was like hey uh you still down for karaoke tonight um barney's beanery which is

again a couple blocks away from where I'm staying. I was like, ugh. I was like, yeah, I'll do it. And he was like, and I have a gift for you. And I was like, what? All right. And I was like, I can't wait to see what this is. Like, what's it going to be?

And so I go and I meet up. And he's there with this man in the booth that he introduced me to, his friend Kyle, and we're all just talking, and I'm getting to talk to him more about the scandal and all that stuff, and he's dating now, and we're talking about that, and just what that life is like, and it's at this Barney's Beanery place. It's really fun, and I'm kind of nervous about doing karaoke because it's packed, and it's like these biggest scene right

now is going to Barney's Beanery of all places. I truly it used to be just like 50 year old alcoholics at Barney's Beanery when I live there. And now it's like there's a line out the door because it's like a tick tock destination. So there were a bunch of F boys there too. Not a bunch. Marco from F boy Island lives in L.A. And Marco like got

us in. He like runs that place. He was there by coincidence yeah wow so tom on the way he goes i found your buddy and he sends me a selfie of him and marco and i was like oh my god oh good because i was trying to get carl ed to go with me because i was like i get nervous pulling up on like a hang with a bunch of people i don't know oh yeah and he's referencing people from the show that i don't know like he's used to everyone knowing everyone in his life and i was just like i don't know so then i was like where is this fucking present that i showed up for like i don't want to say like where's the gift you said you got me but like we're hanging out and it's it actually is

really fun and i'm enjoying the conversation it's not too loud i'm kind of impressed with gen z of like oh they're all sitting in booths and it seems really like not too drunk and not too loud. I was like, I kind of like this vibe. And then he goes, oh, Kyle, give her the thing. So Kyle is like, so I'm a jewelry designer. And I'm like, oh my God, cool. And he was like, and I actually did the earrings for Taylor Swift in her Karma video. And I was like, no way. Like, I know those earrings. I definitely looked up the price points.

Couldn't afford to get them. You guys know I do Taylor Swift styled and I follow that account and I buy everything that's under $400 that Taylor Swift owns even if I don't like it it's so true and except I think the shoes she's wearing this weekend are 340 and I did like them the ones she wore to the game last night they're black like platform oh not platform but like they're like loafer heels they just i just don't see them looking good with my legs anyway so he pulls this bag out of his pocket and it's it says kyle kyle chan kyle chan design.com kyle chan c-h-a-n and i open up this little box and inside are the same earrings from the Taylor Swift music video that he made for her.

They're not the ones she wore. I think she had. And they are. I mean, I looked at the price point, you guys. $3,500. Oh, my God. And this was the gift that Tom Sandoval set up for his friend to give me out of the kindness of his heart. So I want to shout out to Tom.

Thank you so much. I think it was like, you know, just a gift to say thank you for doing the podcast because no one else wants to do it. Just kidding. It was so nice that he went out of his way to call his friend, to have his friend go and like give me these. And shout out to Kyle for gifting me

your amazing earrings that I will now... Wait, where did the other one go? What the fuck? It's in the bag. It is? She's never going to let them leave. No, I just took out one. Where's the other? Oh, there it is. Oh my gosh. 1750.

These are worth... Yeah, 1750. Good job. Good math. But yeah, because he did this for me, I will definitely, when I need to wear some really nice I, yeah, I, because he did this for me, I will definitely, when I need to wear some really nice jewels for something, I will support him at some point,

but I would never spend this much money on earrings in my whole life. And now I have these earrings. Don't rob me. My mom would go, Nikki, do not tell people that you have those. They are going to break into your house. It would have been great. it would have been funny if you

I did the earrings for Taylor Swift and they gave you that box and they gave you that bag and you open it and inside it's just like a note that says eat shit something like that and then he goes no no you are a bad guy Tom um no

that was so above and beyond nice i will always tom sandoval could cheat on me a thousand times over and i will still love you um no uh it was really nice and um and yeah it's so funny like honestly i was saying on the girls shop the type of things he could do and i would still be like like, he's a good guy. Like, all it takes is like, all it takes is a guy that is like, everyone's mad at culturally and has,

is maybe problematic. And if they're nice to me, I like them. Honestly, all they'd have to be like, it's like, you're cool. If they say you're cool,

then I think you're cool too. It's like, it's like Trump. You know, it's like, if they, if they like you, then there's nothing you could do

that would make you say they're bad. I have nightmares where a Trump walks in the room that I'm in and I'm like, hi. I'm nice to him. I can't help it because I don't know. I hate him so much, but I don't know that I could be like, fuck you, motherfucker. Yeah, because he doesn't do anything to you. Yes, he has. Yeah, not to you specifically.

It's hard to be mean to somebody and you're like, your wheels start spinning. And I'm scared he called me fat and ugly. That's really what I'm scared of. And like, I'm so scared. I have such it locked in my brain of like people like that being just,

yeah, he would say that. Or what's his nickname for you? To hurt you, yeah. Oh, yeah. Dry nose. Dry nose over here someone trying to beat my spray tan can I just say

now that I'm thinking about it I've been thinking about the TikTok woman who was saying she's not gonna cheat and I realized that she's what she was saying is insane really? she's like I'll never put myself in a position where I'm in a room alone with another man yeah because I know I would cheat she doesn't go to doctor's I'll never put myself in a position where I'm in a room alone with another man. Yeah.

Because I know I would cheat. She doesn't go to doctor's offices. She doesn't go. If she's talking to a guy, she's like, no, no, no. We need another man in here. So I don't fuck you. I will say that my dad also has said this

where he's like, my dad is not a cheater and never has cheated my mom. And my dad's a good looking guy who took many business trips. And I believe him when he says he's never cheated. But he once said to me, and it's maybe not the best thing

that you ever want to hear, but he says, I don't put myself in situations where it could happen. And that's how I don't cheat. And that's not what you want to hear. You want to just hear like, no, I love your mom so much

that it could never happen. But he's like, I don't. Women have tried to isolate me and get things going and I won't do it. Can't you have both? Can't he love your mom and also not put himself in those situations? Yes. Yeah, and I think that's

why he doesn't put himself in those situations is because he does love my mom. But I think people want to just believe their husbands aren't tempted by those things at all. He would never even think to. The decision to cheat is not just one decision. It's many decisions that lead towards the final decision, which is not even a decision at all.

I think that's the last thing I'll say about that is very true. I've been trying to work on this joke about quitting smoking pot and how it's been so hard for me. And I'm like, it's so funny to struggle quitting something that like takes so many steps to do like i could say like if i'm trying to quit saying like it's hard because it just is like it comes out of me yeah but like you have to get an apple put a big pen into it spin it around then take out the seeds drill another hole oh wait that one didn't work it punched through too much drill one more soda can Then go meet a man in a parking lot.

Exchange money for drugs. Piece it apart. Put it in. Put apple up to mouth. Light. Wick the big pen. Takes forever to... Find a corridor with no wind.

Like there's so many things. It's like just don't do it, you idiot. No adults are looking at you. It's so funny to say I'm trying to quit something that takes so many steps. You have to go and get it. You have to take a walk. Go get it. Even now with dispensary, it's like I have to walk indoor.

Open door. Wait in line. Show ID. Be under bright lights. Try to understand all the different dosages. Make small talk with bud tender. Bud tender. And act like that's an okay term to call yourself.
