Now this is a second term we can all get behind.
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.
Welcome to the show.
It's the Nikki Glaser podcast.
It's me, Nikki Glaser.
I am alone in my studio in St. Louis, Missouri. have wet hair I just got out of the shower didn't have time to blow dry it if you're
watching on YouTube that might be um a topic of interest to you of like why does she look like a
slick fuck you look great um it's not grease it's it's water what Brian's here. Noah's here. You get it. Why?
We don't talk about how like wet hair to dry hair is such.
As a woman, it's a burden to dry your hair.
And it's like a whole part of a process that men don't have to do.
Again, I am not coming at men.
I'm not saying you guys need to start taking longer between when you go out and when you get out of the shower.
You just it's an easier thing that you deal with that you may not think about our
experience i feel personally attacked and i'm offended for all mankind but we have talked about
this before and i did mention i don't know okay i can't imagine being a woman familiar um but also
it does take me a long time to dry my hair too and i've been trying different hair dryers thick
lustrous
hair but you're always you do have really thick hair we're always under and then i have my and
then it's true and then he puts a hat on it and he doesn't even style it well that's the problem
i try to blow dry it with the hat on and it takes forever no i almost believed it yeah um you're uh
you're an interesting man right frangie thank you for saying that you are you're, uh, you're an interesting man, right? Thank you for saying that.
You are.
You're very interesting.
You're, you're smart and interesting.
So, um, quirky.
Uh, this is, I don't want to start any podcast beef, but, um, I, uh, so Tim Dillon was on Annie Letterman's podcast and they, uh, they, they, they, uh, friendly made fun of me.
Friendly made fun of me.
Oh, that's nice.
You got a shout out.
I got a shout out.
But Tim said that I have the personality of a shoe.
And I confronted him about this already.
Oh, this is great.
What did he give you?
Uh, did he give you 50 grand?
Like usually when he like has come at someone, there's famously an episode where he went
over, he had like a class reunion at his house.
You should listen to it.
Annie and him talk about having this.
Like,
I think it actually might be pulled down,
but they had a reunion.
He had a class reunion at his house in the Hamptons.
And he called some girl a fat toothless bitch or something.
Like he called her a toothless bitch.
And she does it.
Cause she was like kind of drunk and acted like a fool at the thing.
And then she, it got back to him through
his friends that she's really upset and like
can't get her life together so Tim
paid for her tooth for her
thousands of dollars to like make it
right so my question what did you get out
of this Brian are you sure he said
shoe and not Jew
no I'm pretty
confident it was a shoe because then he went on to describe
the shoe and it didn't sound like a Jew to me
okay I was gonna make
some jokes that are just not in good taste
right now we can't joke about it
he said a pile of shoes
outside of
oh god
Jesus fucking Christ
that would be the worst thing to be
compared to ever you have the personality
of the discarded shoes of millions of murdered children and women and some men and many men.
Now, the question is, I did not take offense to this at all.
I I do not think I have the personality of the shoe.
I came at him in person and I said, you think I have the personality of a shoe?
And so I wondered, should I be taking offense at this?
What is a shoe's personality though?
Yes.
There's no question.
We don't need to debate whether or not,
oh, what kind of,
well, maybe it's a good thing
because shoes are versatile.
And flexible and comfortable if they're Brooks.
Yeah.
But if you ever talk to a shoe,
it's not like, I think it's an insult.
But it's, he is exaggerating
for the sake of comedy.
You are just, what he meant by that,
I think, is that you're a literal person.
I mean, it's like talking to someone
who is not gonna, you're a nice guy.
There's no question about it.
Everyone who listens to the podcast knows that.
I wouldn't have you in my life. I don't think I could, yeah, anyone. You're a nice guy. There's no question about it. Everyone who listens to the podcast knows that.
I wouldn't have you in my life.
I don't think I could... I have to be around people who are nice,
but you also don't really
have a lot of room
for small talk,
like bullshit. You're just a literal guy.
And shoes are literal,
but I think it's an insult for sure.
But was it an insult meant with malice?
Your tongue is always hanging out maybe um that might be soulless or no you're you have a
soul i have a soul uh soulful practical well then he went on to say that i know he's like he's not
like a shoe he's like a uh an an oatmeal cookie you left in the car okay we're getting better
that has more there's more ingredients
in it it's not as just flat like comedically just saying shoe is very it just sounds it sounds i
mean it sounds like a slur like we said before but oatmeal cookie left in the car let's examine this
um oatmeal cookie he chose that as the uh the most boring cookie, unfortunately. That's what he was going for there.
We're not dummies.
We know what this joke construction was.
And then in the car, there's some warmth to you.
Sure, sure.
And you're kind of like, oh, I found this.
Yes.
He's hardy.
Smells good.
I'm sure there's people who agree.
No one's doing a more bullshit spin than I am, but mine's bullshit too.
Yeah, it's not good.
Now it's important to know that it's important to know.
It's important to also know the context of where this was coming from.
The context was I had to go into this meeting and sit with these people for
like 20 minutes and talk to them.
And they thought it was funny that it was me that had to go sit with them
because these people wouldn't want to talk to me anyway,
because I'm not a real person in the industry.
And,
um,
then also powerful people within the industry,
some people that are like making the decisions that probably aren't the
creative types have to talk,
not have to are talking to you.
Why are they talking to you?
I had to come in and not so early.
Me and Tim were supposed to go to this meeting together and Tim
was late for 20 minutes
oh dear god and so I
had to sit there and vamp for 20 minutes
whoa what did you do
and Tim and Annie thought it was funny that they had to
talk to me and first of all it was probably
because I'm not like why
would anybody want to talk to me in this situation
no that's not true when they're
expecting Tim when they're expecting Tim when they're expecting Tim
and their Tim fans also
you're not going to be disappointed in Brian Fandy you're
just you're so interesting and funny and
but but if they're just interested
in like fame and like someone they
were for sure it's going to be very disappointing
to meet the the Apple guy they're expecting
they don't even know you're that but here's the other thing
is they didn't even know I was going to be at the
meeting so so I was sitting there for 20 minutes talking to these guys.
Tim is really setting you up for success in this.
Can he give them a heads up?
No, it was fine.
I'm guessing not.
It all worked out absolutely fine.
And these guys, we didn't have a good time with anyway.
But I think that's also why that he said that.
What's Tim like in a meeting?
I'm just the biggest Tim Dillon fan. And I'm so excited that you're why What's Tim like in a meeting? I'm just the biggest
Tim Dillon fan and I'm so excited that you're
He's the same
I'm excited about it, I don't know
He's the same person in every single situation
He's just brutally honest
But he's also, again
Extremely kind
Generous
There's a
Loving part of him that just radiates.
And by the way, people told me that you said that Kylie Jenner might have been at his party,
but it was 100% Caitlyn Jenner, which is the wildest Jenner to be like.
I understand boys being like, I don't know if it was Kendall or Kylie or Kourtney or Chloe.
I get that, But not knowing.
And you even were like, it might have been the mom, which is even like, okay.
Well, I wasn't there.
Whoever.
Taylor was like, was it a 70-year age difference?
Or like, you know, we made a joke about it at the time.
Caitlyn Jenner is so not Kylie in many ways.
I didn't see this person.
But how did the word Caitlynenner not register to you as
the former bruce like like a pivotal name in our general like people who don't know the
kardashians know caitlyn jenner because she's the face of the the trans movement that you know right
right you know like how did that not stick for you face and body well what about like even when
you found out caitlyn jen was there, why weren't you like,
whoa, Caitlyn Jenner,
like, was there no discussion
of what that was like?
Was she like,
oh, Tim, I love your spread.
Like, did she,
I love the spread you got here, Tim.
Did she stay five minutes?
Like, why was there no discussion
about what happened around it?
I did ask a little bit
after the fact about this
and I was like,
did they hold court?
Was everyone around them?
And is it he or she?
She.
She came early, and there wasn't a lot of people there, so it was kind of just like
a little small hang, and then she left before most of the people came.
Damn it.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
And I was one of those people that wasn't there yet, so I didn't see.
God damn it.
I didn't talk to.
You were trying to be cool, man.
I know.
Who knew that getting to parties right on time, you might see some of the biggest celebs because they know that they're
gonna miss most people yeah it's cool
to be on time because in LA people never
show up people never show up on
time to anything in LA no
so if you're super cool and you just want to
see the people you want to see you say
show up on time and we'll leave in 40 minutes
yeah yeah
yeah that's uh
have you ever had someone
getting there early to a party is
such a hilarious thing that I'm sure
some people have done be like, I want to help out.
My mom, every time it's time for a party
and my growing up, like it would be the
guest would arrive in my mom would still wet
hair. Yeah. It was a wet
hair podcast. Yes. Yeah. It was she was
a slick fuck when I used to host
like game nights or whatever
at my house, I'd have like some people come that I was like not really friends with. I would always
keep a couple of bags of chips and food things unopened so that when they came and I didn't want
to talk to them, I would say, oh, could you set up those chips? And then they have a task to do.
Yeah, that is, see, that's why you have the personality of an oatmeal cookie in a car.
That kind of thing.
Like that's in the car part.
Yeah.
Is that interesting thing about you
that you have planned for something
in case people get there early
and you're not ready.
Instead of doing the thing
that you could be doing to get ready
and they just sit around,
you give them a task.
Yes, I give them a task.
But that's even more work for you
because you're like,
I want to put out those chips and salsa,
but I got to wait wait until people get here early
Per chance
And then someone has to do it eventually
Alright well that's an interesting take on that
But in context
It's funny for me to be extra boring
In that context of that meeting
Which is why
Roasting me for being so boring
You have to go to that extreme
Or else it's not funny No No, they're comedians.
Yes. That's why I didn't take offense
to it per se. No, they
have to set up that
the story of you being stuck there
because Tim is 20 minutes late
and they don't even expect you and you
also happen to have the personality of a shoe
add so much color to the story.
This is, have you ever, I'm trying
to think of times where
maybe this has happened to me where I've
heard something about myself that I didn't
like that. If someone said that about me,
I'd be very hurt.
I mean,
I wasn't hurt at all.
But you shouldn't be because I know what he,
clearly you don't. They said nice things.
They said nice things too. They said
he's a wonderful comedy writer
He's an amazing comedy writer
But he has the personality of the shoe
And then Annie said
You wish it was a shoe
And then he held up a shoe
And it was like a brown
And then Annie said
He won't start the conversation
But he'll punch it up
So these are nice things to say.
Oh, that's actually that's an interesting.
That's an interesting thing to say.
And I wonder if I agree with that of you being someone who won't know because you'll I mean, I worked with you all summer on a boy island and you would come in with like you would be kind of quiet and then you would just kind of like stare.
You'd be thinking about something. You go, I have have a question and it would just be like everyone would kind of
jump and then we would get you would come up with some very random thing that you have been thinking
about on your drive into malibu an hour and a half um that is very specific but you you know
you're always going through some um or i lately, you have been going through some...
Shit's been piling up for Brian Frangie.
I don't think you're a person that just has shit pile up.
I've known you for years. Right now, it's
a thing after thing.
That's what I try to explain to Tim
is that I feel like my personality is
25% diminished because of
all my problems.
It totally is. You're in pain.
I asked Brian about his tooth pain
that he's been having. We've
covered it on other episodes, but he's
been having for how many months now? Since...
Two and a half years. Okay.
So that's 12 plus 6.
I have a question for the besties because I
got my second crown in yesterday.
I got my second crown in yesterday.
It's on my top and I feel like
it's a little bulky
And I want to ask any besties
If you've gotten an implant crown
So it's like a full crown tooth
Did it feel weird at first
Which I'm sure it did
And then if so
How long did it take you
To just get used to it
And then it start to feel normal for you
Okay
I'm sure that there's lots of besties
Who have implants
You've had a crown? I don't think of best things to have implants you've had a
crown i don't think i've had an implant though i've had a root canal and then a crown put on top
and then did it feel weird i assume that's what they do i cannot remember which leads me to
believe no yeah so mine feels weird i'm also not a sensitive person i'm so sensitive yeah so it feels
like it's like pushing in on my tongue so it's like my tongue's getting in the way so i want to
know if that's a,
if that's a issue that other people have.
A normal thing that'll go away.
Yeah.
And how long did it take?
And so how,
how long should I wait before getting a change?
Is it hurt though?
I mean,
is your,
your pain is also there because the pain is the,
your pain is from your jaw because the grinding of the teeth,
because the teeth being uneven.
So the pain isn't in the tooth.
It's in the jaw.
Yeah.
Just getting the crowns mean nothing for the pain.
It just means nothing.
I'm the next step.
My point initially was you were operating you one day you told me,
and you're not a person who exaggerates when some,
you know,
you do for comedy sometimes,
but I feel like you said your pain was an eight out of 10.
Yeah.
A lot of days.
Yes.
And so I know for me,
I wouldn't,
I mean,
there's no way I would be able to function like that like you're dealing with something that is i've talked about this before in the podcast
whenever i go through pain you just you can't help but feel so sorry for people in chronic pain
and how they do learn to cope with it because what the fuck else are they gonna do right like
what else what are you gonna do you have to keep You can't just lay in bed and be sad.
And rise.
Yeah.
And you just have to like,
or tinnitus.
Although it is funny.
Anything that's like chronic.
It's funny to rise all day.
What did you do today?
I was writhing.
Writhing sucks so much because it's the only thing you do when there's,
there's no comfort.
There's nothing else.
So you've writhed? When you had
your migraines, you must have writhed. I would
writhe so much.
It's just like an animal that's flipping back
and forth because it's on the way out.
It's just searching for like, Mom!
Like any kind of
comfort. Like a possum in a cage.
Yes, yes.
Like a starving possum in a cage.
Now that would be a more, it was probably not
writhing as much because it was just like
so tired. It was dying from hunger.
Like kind of in a ball, but I don't know.
Just because I've felt like a
dying possum before. Oh, I forgot to mention this update
that the, I got
a letter in the mail from the possum
recently saying
how it's flourishing in the woods.
They wrote me a letter.
I don't like... This is shoe.
This is shoe?
That isn't shoe, but you're trying to get out of shoe
and I don't like it, whatever that was.
That was me trying...
No, I lie all the time.
I do comedy lies.
That was a cute lie, but that was...
We knew it was a lie from the get-go.
You got a letter from the...
I just didn't get the setup. I't invested oh so what i'm sorry that was on
me well what did i need to do in order how did you set that up properly that noah yeah i thought
that maybe it was like something that ally did to make you feel better oh she was taking it literally
literally yeah that would have been though yeah so then what should i well sometimes that works
out and i say something that's you know no you're no you gotta take chances i'm just gonna get a I'm gullible though So then what should I Well sometimes that works out
And I say something that's
No you gotta take chances
Because now we have the shoe thing
Now I need to add to my personality
It's not fair though because I don't think you feel like you can take shots at me
Because you
But I want you to be able to take shots at me
But also I do think that I'm a little sensitive bitch
Like I said I don't think I would have been able to take shoes
so it's not fair that I take shots at you
if you can't give
them to me so I say that you
should be able to but I take shots
at you sometimes yeah okay good
but they're not okay good I'm glad that you don't
hold back too much I don't take shots
at people including you that have to do with like
your personality or
but I'll take shots at you for something you just said if I think i think what you said yes yeah i like that about you i don't feel
like you just like let me get away with stuff and then sometimes if i'm like like we mainly are
recently have been talking about jokes and if it's something where you just go okay and sometimes
i'll read that as like he's mad at me because i'm used to living around people who are like when they're mad
at you they just go okay
yeah and then it's like quiet
and I go with Brian
everyone knows what I'm talking about this kind of person
that just goes yeah fine yeah go ahead
if you want to take the car to Malibu go ahead
yes I'll go yes I'll go
Brian I don't know that joke I know you don't
you maybe think I should lose it I just like
it because I like the it's like a change in character
for me but I'll give my reasonings and he goes
all right fine and it's just like
I go oh no he's mad but he's
just saying fine yeah no I genuinely
well obviously I don't I don't read it as
that at all anymore oh good because that is not
no I'm that's that's the shoe first
the instinct in my little
brain is at first like oh no he's mad
but now that is like a millisecond, a millisecond.
We got to go to break.
Before we go to break, I just want to tell everyone we are not going to be doing shows next week because I'm taping my special in Seattle, which there are tickets still available.
The 16th in Seattle.
Brian will be there.
I'll be there.
And Noah will be there, too.
I forgot.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Most of the girls from Girls Chat are going to be there.
I've never seen Noah in person.
So this is going to be a meeting for us.
What the fuck?
Is that real?
Yeah.
That's so exciting.
Okay.
So we're doing that next week.
And so all my energy needs to be focused on that.
So there will be no podcast next week, but we will be back on the, I guess, 20th, Wednesday,
the 20th to talk about all things my special.
So send me good vibes on December 16th, Saturday.
I would really appreciate that
because I do believe in that kind of energy.
So think of me that night and think positive things,
not nervous or negative things.
And I love you so much.
Okay, we'll be back with more show after this.
Hey guys, you've heard me talk about
my Seattle upcoming special taping
and some tickets just opened up
and I want to give them away for free to besties.
So if you are a bestie listening to the podcast right now, and you are a single person that,
um, is just one person that wants to go to the show, I'm sorry that they're, uh,
they're only single seats because, um, we need, we need seat fillers and that's what you're going
to be. If you want to go for free to my show, really good seats all over. Um, just opened up
for both shows, seven o'clock and 9.30
for my December 16th Seattle taping. All you have to do is write into Nikki Glazer Besties. Don't
forget the S on the besties. NikkiGlazerBesties at gmail.com. Tell us your info and we'll get you
that ticket. I hope to see you there. And yeah, so this is the ultimate opportunity to go alone
because you can't go with someone else. So this is perfect for people without friends because it looks like that you could have friends, but you could just say, well, I couldn't bring a friend.
And and I won't assume you don't have friends if you go with this one ticket.
I'll see you there. I love you. Bye.

All right, we're back.
Okay, speaking of what we were just saying for a millisecond, I think Brian might be mad at me.
A millisecond yesterday, I thought my life was over.
I'm about to be raped, mugged.
I'm definitely about to be violently attacked.
Oh, my God.
It was probably two milliseconds or three wow it was it was it
was a point i would say i'm just being honest it was point one seconds okay but that is enough
you know how people go like oh i my life flashed before my eyes you know all these things like
think bit major things can happen in that split second like
time moves so slow slows down when you're feeling threatened fuck i had so many thoughts in that
point one second and i'm i think yesterday i might have said it was 0.8 seconds but like it
literally was a micro second i was walking home from pilates and i'm with my headphones on much
like these like covering my ears which i love in the winter when you have headphones like this
and it's cold outside
and they're also earmuffs.
That is,
that you get two for one.
That is a great thing about earphones.
Little sidetrack.
Also the same as picking up dog poop
in the winter warms your hands
and you get to pick up poop.
Two things in once,
you kill two birds.
And then you throw that bag of poop at a bird
and you actually kill a bird.
Okay.
But so I was walking home with the cans on.
I'm on my phone kind of like in the world.
I,
my Pilates place is pretty close to my apartment.
So I'm turning into the garage and I'm walking into the,
now the garage area,
it's like,
it's,
there's,
it's well lit.
It's like,
it's,
you drive through this garage.
So it's like,
it's one end is open and the other end is open. So it's like, it's an open, it's like, it's, you drive through this garage. So it's like, it's one end is open and the other end is open.
So it's like,
it's an open,
it's not like a closed,
scary garage.
It's like almost open air,
but kind of not.
And I'm getting to the place where my door is,
where it's the package room.
And then right there is the elevators.
Like,
it's like,
it's very populated.
So being attacked here,
my first instinct when I thought I was being attacked was this is a great,
this is going to hurt whatever's about to happen.
But at least people will hear me scream.
It's still, it was, I think, four or five o'clock.
So it was still kind of light outside security camera, heavy foot traffic around.
Like that was, yeah, that's, that was what I was impressed by was like the security camera is just going to like, that doesn't matter to me. Cause I'm like, it'll just capture my death.
Like I need help now.
A security camera, someone in a room somewhere isn't gonna see that and then run down
and with enough time to help me whatever's gonna happen so it was like i need immediate help
there's someone nearby like there's a sidewalk here and it's well lit someone wouldn't attempt
to murder me they maybe that was it no if they know that they're gonna be seen they wouldn't
murder me or something but so at all those. I was just thinking like last footage of Nikki
Glazer.
Oh, man.
Yeah, it'll be on Reddit.
I hope my murder isn't
one that I'd want to watch or hear
about. I don't watch these things.
Actually, a bestie just wrote to me
after having... Did you hear about the guy who got his
neck sliced open and bled out on
the hockey rink? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, but I thought
that was like an accident.
It was.
Okay.
Yes, but I described it
as just,
it wasn't like I was like,
did he,
he had it intentionally.
I said it in a way
that sounded that,
but I did not imply that.
Right, right.
It was an accident.
Yes.
But the guy was charged
for manslaughter
because even if it's an accident,
it's still manslaughter.
Yeah.
Which I forgot about
because everyone's like,
why was he charged?
Which I,
it was a total accident,
but he did die and he's responsible for
someone's death I guess I don't know
a hockey game where you're
don't you take certain risks by playing hockey
and one of those risks unfortunately
is getting your neck sliced open by a hockey
yeah but if you drive don't you
take certain risks by driving but if I drive
and do something that isn't
if you were doing if you were reckless
so was this guy who sliced his neck
like doing something reckless?
Possibly, I guess.
I guess that's the rub.
He must have fallen
and then flailed his legs.
Well, someone watched it for me.
A girl wrote me and was like,
oh my God, did you hear about this?
And I go, yes.
Oh my God, I'm obsessed.
I read everything.
I read every account,
but I couldn't find like...
I wanted to hear a description of it
without seeing the video
because I don't want to see it.
And she watched it and described it to me.
And so anyway, it was the guy like the guys who skate.
From what I understand, I could be remembering this wrong.
The guy jumped up and sliced the guy's neck.
And then you just see him grab his neck and just blood fucking spurting everywhere.
And he keeps skating for a second.
He's like standing.
Oh, God, those are the worst.
He was. So it's almost like Mortal Kombat
where they slice him
and they keep standing
and then they just crumble.
How did the ice skate blade
get to the neck
if he was standing?
He was doing a triple axel.
I literally don't know.
So he sliced him three times
like 360s?
Oh, my God.
It's so sad.
It's so sad.
Yeah.
And like such a freak accident.
I mean, there's nothing worse than being involved in a freak accident. Oh, no. It's so sad. It's so sad. Yeah. And like such a freak accident. I mean, there's nothing worse than being involved in a freak accident.
Oh, no.
It's a horrible word to have associated with your death.
This would have not been a freak.
I was walking and then all of a sudden I see in my periphery and I am deeply in my phone,
which is not a mistake in this area that I'm talking about.
Like you would just never be attacked here.
All right. That was my first instinct of like. Like you would just never be attacked here. All right.
That was my first instinct of like,
no one's going to attack me here.
Then all of a sudden from the door
that I would be walking into,
I see a man running towards me.
All I can sense is a man is running towards me
and I have my headphones playing music pretty loud.
So I can't, I can't,
I don't know if they're saying something or what
i can't hear anything yeah the soundtrack to my death would have been you're losing me stop you're
losing me you would have been taylor swift which is actually approved by the american heart
association or something for doing the compressions like you're losing me stop you're losing me and
that song is like um my heart won't beat anymore.
Oh my God.
That's like what you're supposed to be
pushing their chest with.
So anyway,
I just go,
because I'm just like,
it's a man.
I know it's a man.
He is hurling towards me at a crazy speed.
And it was Chris running at me full sprint
just to go like,
like to scare me.
And he saw the expression on my face and he was,
he immediately was like,
Oh my God,
I'm so sorry.
And I was like,
I just got my life back.
Like I was like recovering.
Like I just,
I just got my life back.
Like I'm just not going to be violently attacked.
I was so happy that I wasn't going to be violently attacked.
Cause I was really like,
this is going to hurt so bad.
I don't I should have probably gone to jujitsu.
I should have done what Noah said to do.
Why have I been doing Pilates instead of self-defense?
Like all of these regrets flooded through my nervous system.
And he was he was like, I thought you would see me so much sooner.
You know, like I saw him when he was right here.
So it was just like, yeah,
I it was 100% happening
and I don't know that must
be the I know that's the feeling you feel before
you're violently attacked. I felt it. It was
like Doctor Strange when he knocks your soul
out of you and then you're like
and then he pulls it back in or
it gets pulled back. I don't
know. I'm going to start doing that
all the time now. It's so shitty.
I don't know Dr. Strange.
But everyone loves Dr. Strange.
So yesterday on a meeting with us.
Yeah, but you were in a car.
I could barely hear you.
This is my defense on this one.
Ari said that I'm a nerd.
Yeah, he really did.
Am I a nerd making Dr. Strange references references or am i a shoe like get it straight
this is ari ari fendling who i love so much who has a great podcast called um never not tired
that's about parenthood it's hilarious he's so funny but he was on this writer's meeting with
us yesterday and he ari has this like harshness about him sometimes where he's like you fucking
idiot like he'll just like call you a fucking idiot about like,
you'll be like,
do you want a tissue?
Like he'll be like sniffling.
And he's like,
yeah,
I do.
You fucking idiot.
Like he's a little embarrassed that he got caught sniffling or
something.
So he comes at you with this like really harsh thing,
but it's all love.
But then I,
I catch him a lot of times getting called out on it.
And then he pulls back like,
Oh yeah,
you fucking dumb fucking nerd like
he digs in or he'll like but it's it's a cute attempt at him being close to you oh i see i see
well yeah it's a failed attempt but you are close i wouldn't say we're close but we were buds back
in the day when we were in new york ari i told him this other night i go i for i didn't realize
that you were the guy That when Brian Frangie
Got his windows
Knocked in
And stuff stolen from him
It was another one
Of those weeks
That you've been having recently
Of just a pile on
Like once every 10 years
And you had your stuff
Yeah you had a bunch of stuff
Taken out of your car
What else was going on for you?
Your arm was broken or something?
Well I broke my wrist
I didn't even know it was broken
Yes
I remember
And then when I was driving
To the doctor
To get x-rays on my wrist, someone rear-ended me.
Yes.
But then you messaged me.
That was the week before I went to California.
That's right.
Yeah.
I've told that story before.
Oh, and I'm the hero of the story.
You're the hero.
Never mind.
Ari did, though.
He worked at Models at the time.
Yes, sporting goods store in New York.
Yes, and he got you a bunch of replaced stuff.
I didn't ask for this.
He just, out of the kindness of his
heart, heard about my story
and gave me all this stuff, like a new gym
bag. He's so great.
So I don't care. Yeah, if Ari can call me a nerd all he wants,
I know that he's a great guy. He's
a love. This is what the theme of the episode
already is. People that might
be like say horrible things are like
these sweet softies like tim annie me you
uh ari and ari um also like my dad my dad me ari and andrew went on a road trip to do outdoor shows
during covet together my dad and i would sing like a song and then andrew and ari would open
and we were all in a car for like you know a, a total of doing like, I think we did three
or four cities together.
It was like 30 hours in a car, like really long time in the car.
And my dad would laugh so hard because Ari, whenever he would get, Andrew and him would
get mad at each other and they're old friends.
He would just be like, I swear to God, Andrew, I'm going to suck your dick so fucking hard.
And my dad would be like, why is that?
Why are you,
why is that the threat?
Why you're mad at him?
And he'd be like,
I swear to God,
I'm going to suck your fucking dick off,
Andrew.
I swear.
It's just such a funny,
it's such a funny thing to get mad at someone and threaten to suck their dick.
Instead of being like,
I'm going to beat the shit out of you with that same fervor,
say the gayest thing is my,
but my dad couldn't believe it
and um really like my dad my dad like uh kind of i don't know if this is the same kind of thing but
he is always surprised at guys doing like kind of gay things in jest or like boy bros like kind of
but the thing is my dad has done gay things in jest. Yeah. I don't know what it is.
Is it homophobia?
Because that's why it's funny
because it's so bad?
A little bit.
Well,
in the way of like,
my dad grew up in a time
where that wasn't,
people couldn't be open about that.
It's just a taboo or something.
Yeah,
it's taboo.
And he's just like,
and he thinks,
by the way,
he's crying laughing
because it's such a fun,
it's funny.
It is funny.
Yes.
And it,
and it, but it is a way for men to be closer to each other and actually touch
each other. I think it's a little bit of an excuse.
I bet most of them would say,
I would say 99% is a joke, but
it's 1%. I just want to put my,
you know, I just want to
mind blowing my friend right now.
I just want to feel close. I just want to grab someone's
hips right now. Do you watch Welcome to
Wrexham on FX with Ryan Reynolds and McElhaney?
Well, there's so Ryan Reynolds and McElhaney have a bromance and that they even do an episode
where they go see a couples therapist or something or an expert on like male friendships.
And I do see that sometimes between them where they'll do something like sexually uncomfortable
to each other because they're so close.
Yeah. You should watch that. That's kind of hot to me. because they're so close. Yeah.
You should watch that, though.
That's kind of hot to me.
Those two are pretty hot.
I wouldn't mind seeing those two
get sexually close.
Yeah.
I don't know.
That's never really turned me on
when two guys I'm attracted to.
But picturing those two,
I'm just like,
oh, they're something like...
Their friendship is so enviable.
That's really the documentary to me.
And they both look alike.
Oh, that's sweet.
Yeah.
Well, my dad, this is crazy.
My dad, one time, he goes on these camping trips and river excursions with his guy friends.
I think around October, they go out for like four days and they camp out and stuff and canoe all day.
And one night, his buddy dave miller was like
just sitting you know meditating or something and my dad came up to like join him and there's
just sitting in these chairs on the the bank of this riverbed and uh my dad realizes that he's
like hey we should let's just be gay for a second see what everyone else says back at the campfire
like if we just get a little gay like because we're kind of off by ourselves it looks
like they might think that we like are alone and like they might think that we're like you know
so my dad like put his arm around the chair and just start like rubbing his shoulders a little
bit and then or maybe my dad saw someone taking a picture or something it was like i'm just gonna
do this and they're gonna feel like they caught a moment between us so someone taking a picture or something and was like, I'm just going to do this. And they're going to feel like they caught a moment between us.
So someone took a picture.
I think it was my uncle TV took a picture of my dad and Dave Miller in this like they're backlit by like the sunset, you know, and there are these two guys in a chair.
And it was picked this picture somehow got picked up by like my because my brother is in river culture stuff it now is like a gay picture that like
people use like sincerely to be like gay men oh my god like enjoying each other's company so it's
been on like instagram posts and kind of been like spread around as like hey these like rugged river
men are gay like it was a little bit of of a broke back picture that people have taken seriously because it was a joke.
But it made me laugh so hard.
My dad's like, I'm going to get canceled for that.
I'm like, you're not going to like it.
What it was was it was a moment of friendship and love between two men in a different way.
And now it's being used and for whatever.
However, people want to interpret it is fine.
You weren't like being overtly
homophobic when you made the joke. So I don't think
it's a bad thing, but he's probably gonna be like,
don't tell that story. But I think it was so
funny. Too late. It's told.
Did you guys?
It's also a thing in the East Coast,
just going back to like people saying things like
mean things to you, but you know. Yeah, I'm gonna suck
your dick. It's just like, to me,
growing up, I mean, that was the love language of the east coast
Was just to say something mean
Like here's a common thing that would happen in New York
You'd go
You go to someone at a party
And they mention a mutual person that you know
So someone would come up to me
Noah would come up to me at a party and goes
Oh do you know Nikki
In New York my response would be
Oh that asshole
Yeah she's a real piece of work
And that's like the highest form of praise
Oh you mean that shoe
Yeah exactly
I get what you're saying
Like saying a piece of work
It's almost like that Tim Robinson sketch
I started laughing about it already
The one
Do you know the one where he's
The skateboard He's introducing a new skateboard team?
Oh, yeah.
You've been sharing that.
I've been watching it every time you share it.
I'm obsessed with it.
Okay.
So he introduces Concrete Halloween and it's a new skateboarder.
And then he just talks about assembling this crew and he just, I just always wanted to assemble a crew of like really bad people.
Like these people are really bad and then he goes i
just want to be cool i guess i've always just wanted to be kind of cool and wanted people to
think i'm really a cool like tough guy and then he goes i just always wanted i always wanted people
to think i was fucked up i always wanted to leave a room and have people go you with that guy's
fucked up i listened to it this weekend with a meal.
I listen to it all the time. If you haven't
heard it, Skateboard Sketch,
Tim Robinson, it's the funniest thing you'll
watch all year, and the year is coming to a close,
but it will win your
Spotify wrapped of videos.
It's so funny. Also, another one
to watch that is literally
a gem of a comedy video.
Everyone will enjoy it.
Triumph the Insult Dog
on Conan O'Brien
Needs a Friend podcast.
He went on?
He just went on. Well, Robert Smigel's on the
interview, but the first part where it's like,
hello, my name is Triumph the Insult Dog
and I feel
blah, blah, blah to be Conan O'Brien's
friend. You know where they do that? The intro for every celebrity on his show. You say, I'm Nikki Glazer and I feel honored to be Conan O'Brien's friend. You know where they do that,
the intro for every celebrity on his show?
Yes.
You say, I'm Nikki Glaser
and I feel honored to be Conan O'Brien's friend.
So he got on and some of the jokes were like,
it's great to be,
I was there at the beginning with you, Conan,
when it was so tough
and now I am clearly,
I am here at what is clearly the end.
He was like, serious satellite radio.
Oh, the wave of the past.
Baby laughs so hard.
Oh, he goes, why?
Oh, serious satellite radio.
He goes, why buy the pig for free when you can pay $21.99 a month to rent this piece of shit?
It was so funny. when you can pay $21.99 a month to rent this piece of shit. Like, it was just, it was
so funny. There are
so many great one-liners, like, all in a
row, and it's like, it reminds, it's a roast
set. I'm like, oh, Triumph is
a roast comic. Like, that's
the character. I didn't even, like, think about it.
But it's so funny,
but I was saying, oh, the Concrete
Halloween, everyone's, I
wanted to be a piece of shit. Oh, I i wanted something you said made me think of something and maybe i don't have time
to finish it in this segment but we'll uh continue it on the next one i was in um couples therapy
yesterday chris might be home so i don't want him to think i'm like talking shit because i'm not but
i don't want him to be like oh what is she talking about because um he wouldn't care if i said this
but because it's all about me which because it, it's because that's why we were there, though, by the way, because
it's all about me.
I had double therapy yesterday, so it was a little bit like individual and couple.
But couples, I found out something interesting about myself.
I, if we're talking about being insulted, I don't mean, I don't mind being called a
bitch.
Doesn't hurt me.
It's not like it just goes like whatever.
Literally out of all the insults you could call me as a woman, cunt, bitch, anything
that's kind of has to do with your mean doesn't insult me.
Now this, I had to make this clear because Chris is tiptoeing around those words in
there,
by the way,
because I have been one and I am one when I get threatened.
When my,
when we've realized it's around,
like if my free time gets threatened,
if anything with my schedule gets threatened,
I will like kind of lash out.
And I have to be honest.
I don't think that I think I, as I am very sensitive to him
being sometimes moody
or whatever that version of him,
a man is,
I'm very sensitive to it
and he's like,
I'm just, you know,
I'm just answering your question.
I'm sorry I'm not like smiling
when I say it.
I'm not mad at you.
This is just,
I think he can be also sensitive
to me being a B.
But that's my perspective,
not his.
His experience is, I'm a B. But he doesn't want to say it. When a woman does it to me being a B. But that's my perspective, not his. His experience is I'm a B.
But he doesn't want to say it.
When a woman does it, she's a bitch.
And when a man does it, he's a CEO.
Yeah, exactly.
Someone's been listening to The Man by Taylor Swift.
So it is interesting to me.
Okay, wait, hold on.
Why am I going with this?
So growing up, you would think bitch would be
a really bad word for me to hear because i got called a bitch all the time by my mom oh my mom
and everyone is shocked by that but that's like the way that the east coast talks like you're a
real piece of shit like calling your daughter bitch not good. I don't think my mom would ever be okay with the fact that she did that.
If she,
she knows that she did because it continues to this day.
You're a big bitch right now.
Is it like that?
Yeah.
It's,
it would be like,
I would be playing with my blocks and she,
no,
I'm just kidding.
I would be like,
Nikki,
you're stacking those blocks like a bitch right now.
Yeah.
Well,
I got to go to break.
Let me think about how she would say it.
And I'll come back with my mom impression of her calling me a bitch.
And we can parse through this.
All right.
We'll be back after this.

okay so my mom did
call me a bitch a lot as a kid and I know this because
my sister also got called a bitch a lot and we
joke about it all the time but my mom
calls people bitches you know like she's
a little bit like but that's different
that's a festive bitch we would be
called bitches when we would reach the age of bitch,
which is around puberty.
When you start to be like, I don't want to.
I hate this.
And you're just saying mean things and you're being a bitch.
You're throwing things.
You're going like, it's ugly and I hate it.
And it's like Christmas morning and you're like, what is,
like I was a fucking grade a bitch
when I was going through puberty
and you know,
hormonally I become a bitch
and but I don't,
I don't,
I didn't care when she would call me that
because,
but the thing is that I,
the thing about my mom,
she can call us a bitch.
You shan't call her a bitch.
My mom,
that's why I'm so surprised
that it doesn't trigger me.
My mom's the worst thing you can call her as a bitch.
So that's why I said B before,
because I'm so used to,
if I talk about,
I can say you're being a B that's like that lightens it.
But if you want to maybe get slapped,
which my mom slapped me one time in my life,
it was definitely because I called her a bitch.
There's no question in my mind.
I don't remember exactly the conversation,
but it had to be because it is just this triggering word for my mom.
So my question is, Noah is the word bitch and brian to your wife if she seems
like she could never be one but um how do you feel about being called it noah and how do you
feel about saying it brian i haven't been called a bitch by anyone who is but you have been a bitch
before i have been right i have been a bitch before. I have been a bitch.
Do you agree?
Is that crazy? I've heard you recount things where you're like, wow, I
didn't act cool right then and I said this
like really... And I'm talking about early
Noah too. Let's talk about Noah before she
went to therapy. You had to have been a bitch
a lot. I think being called crazy
was the one that triggered me.
But being called a bitch is like,
okay, great. I'm mean.
Those two words go hand in hand sometimes.
Yeah.
Oh, crazy bitch.
That's interesting.
Yeah.
That'd be bad.
Crazy, crazy I kind of like also because,
let me just say,
if Chris were to call me crazy,
I'd be like,
I go to therapy,
I see a psychiatrist,
I might be crazy,
at least I'm treating it.
You might, like you're not doing anything. And At least I'm treating it. You might like,
you're not doing anything in my,
in like right now.
Like my,
my thing would be like,
call me crazy.
All you want that.
I do have a crazy,
but I'm doing everything.
I literally do everything I can in my,
within my means.
I reading the books I'm reading.
I'm subscribed to the Instagram accounts.
I'm doing,
I'm journaling.
I call me crazy. All you want you. That's like calling, telling someone they have cancer. You have cancer. It's like, I'm journaling. I, call me crazy.
Oh, you want you,
that's like calling,
telling someone they have cancer.
You have cancer.
It's like, yeah, I know.
Like, but I'm fine with it
because I'm treating it.
If you tell me I have cancer
and I'm not doing anything for it,
I might be insulted.
But yeah,
I don't,
crazy to me is a condition
that I'm proud to be
because it also,
like being a shoe,
it makes you what's special about you.
Like the personality of a shoe, maybe that's's not it but like your quirkiness whatever it is that he called you that that's what
makes you so fucking good honestly i think um it makes me good at at writing and then being quiet
very practical gets you to work type of person no you're extremely creative and hilarious yeah
that's why i didn't really take offense to it either because like i know i'm funny
and i plenty of people have called me the opposite of a shoe so i'm like well i think
maybe you're just misinterpreting something okay bitch can be fixed. That's another thing. Bitch fix. That's going to be a new app
that I come up with.
Bitch fix
is
what would be bitch fix?
Bitch fix would be like
in a meditation app
to get you out of
like your moodiness.
It would be nice
if it could cut through
to someone and actually change
like make them recognize
their behavior as being bitch.
I think I could.
I think I could.
If people were open to the idea that they could be a bitch, I could maybe make an app
that would serve me and other bitches out there to calm down, not think about it from
like me.
Like, because I think bitch comes out when you're like, I'm a victim.
I had no hand in this whatsoever.
Everyone hates me.
And when you are completely insecure,
lashing out,
like you're just,
and you're weak,
you're tired,
you're hungry.
What is it called?
Halt.
You're hungry.
You're anxious,
lonely,
or tired or hungry,
angry,
lonely,
tired.
Yeah.
So like establishing those things and figuring out,
but anyway,
I told,
so I'm sitting there with
the therapist and chris is like being like i don't want to say this word i hate this word
and he's being so sad i go bitch i was like he thinks i'm a bitch and i go can i be honest with
you and i'm like looking at melissa my lady and i go i kind of like being called a bitch i'm said
i acknowledge that i don't like that it makes you feel bad and i don't like that i don't want to
make anyone feel bad with being bitch and that that's part of bitch. And I realized
that. But when I hear bitch, I hear someone who might have some boundaries. And I like that about
myself because I feel like so much of the time I was just always had to be nice. And I respect
bitches a little bit or people that I would maybe call a bitch because they don't seem to need my
approval. And I like that quality. And I think that bitch has some of that for me but she's got to tone
it down like keep all the things that's like I don't care what you think bitch with assertive
you want to be an assertive woman like bad bitch yes assertive but that's the problem I think
assertive comes off as bitch sometimes to different people.
Tend to take on you.
Let me give you an example.
Noah asked me about something that,
let's go through all the ways in which
I could respond to this ask from Noah in person
if you called me,
which you rarely call me with an ask,
but call me with something annoying.
Okay, Nikki, I need you to read these three ads
and they're due in like
another 30 minutes and I sent them to you last
week. Okay.
Um and you oh
if you send them to me last week I'm gonna feel bad. I'm gonna
get it done no matter what. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Yeah. I know that that's not really like us.
There's no way that I would
go fuck you Noah. I can't like
let's say um Nikki you messed up this.
Okay, if it was you mispronounced this girl's name
and I need it really quick to turn this ad in.
Nikki, you...
In 30 minutes.
And I'm just telling you now for some reason,
even though that's not your show.
We're Nikki and Noah in a different dimension.
Nikki, you misread this name in the ad copy
and I need it. What's the name?
It's Sigourney
Weaver.
Oh, I said
Sigourney
Weaver. Yes. Right.
I got Sigourney right.
For some reason I got the easiest
part wrong. Okay. I don't know why
I said Weaver. Okay.
Honestly, okay. This is me being walked all over. For some reason, I got the easiest part wrong. Okay. I don't know why I said Weber. Okay. Honestly.
Okay.
This is me being walked all over.
Oh, my God.
I'm so sorry.
No, that's normally me.
Okay.
I don't know what I'm trying to do here, but here's me being assertive.
This could be sorry.
Noah, I'm really sorry.
I don't have time to do that, And I'm not going to do it.
You got to just tell them, take it as it is.
Because that name is really confusing.
That could be bitch.
Because I'm not like saying it like this, maybe in this tone.
But just being like, because this is what happens with Chris and I.
He'll ask me to do something.
And I won't have that tone of like, actually, I can't right now.
Which I probably would with a regular producer
because Chris is producing my special.
If it was a guy that I just
met in this project, I'd probably be like,
I actually don't have time to do that today.
I'm just overwhelmed
right now, and I think we're actually in really good shape,
and we don't need to talk about that thing until Tuesday.
And we can do it then. But instead,
I'll go like,
no,
I don't want to do that. We don't need to do that until tuesday i'm not i have a busy day that's the difference right you got it but
that's how i talk to my boyfriend you know like and i'm not and my point is i'm not annoyed at
him i'm annoyed at who like i'm just like let's say bill lawrence you, you would talk, you would say the first way.
No,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
no,
I would say the first way.
Uh,
Bill Lawrence,
he's a kind of a closer friend of mine.
So I'd probably be like,
Bill,
what the fuck?
I don't want to do that.
No,
we don't.
Do you think we really need to do that?
I don't think we need to do that.
Like,
let's wait till.
So yes,
also being because I'm not fucking Bill Lawrence.
So I don't need,
I don't have the same,
you know what I mean?
But being a woman,
that happened. That's why I made that hilarious joke about, that
everybody loved, about if when
you're a woman, you're a bitch, and when you're a man, you're a
CEO. Because men
are perceived like that same attitude
would be perceived as like, oh, he's in charge
and he would be positive. But for
women, it's viewed as a negative
often.
Behind the joke with Brian Frangie.
It is behind the... This is
interesting because I'm not...
A lot of the stuff that's like, men get
this and women get this and it's harder for
women. I'm not mad about it.
It's just you like to point it out.
You know, like, it's just... I benefit
from a world in which men and everyone do expect women to be softer and maybe more cordial.
There is there are ways in which I operate in that framework that makes it so maybe people don't think I'm a bitch when I'm assertive because of that same system.
There are benefits to being woman and I can't come up with a fucking
single one right now.
But no, no. I will say people don't expect me
to carry shit.
If they need help carrying stuff.
If they need help moving some chairs.
There's like, and there's a man
and it's me. A man has
to do it and I get to just hang out.
You're on the plane and there's someone trying
to get their bag down and they can't get it down
no one's gonna ask a woman
to help them I always
help and I love doing it before men
I fucking love it so much because men
just go like oh shit that was supposed to be my job
and I'm like yeah you were listen
Pilates bodies
got it I can now I've got I've
locked in my shoulders I know the stance
I square them
yeah I like I like helping this woman the other day was like oh she it. I can now I've got I've locked in my shoulders. I know the stance. I square them.
Yeah, I like I like helping this woman the other day was like, oh, she
was very old and she was at the carousel and
we were waiting for our bags and
she was like, I saw her go for one. I'm like
no way, ma'am. She's like
totally bent over so broken
and I was like, I told her that
I go, you're so broken and bent.
No, I helped her with the bag and I got it.
And then she was like, oh, this isn't my bag.
And so I lugged it back on.
It was very heavy.
Oh, and when I did it, when I first did it,
she goes, you are, you are so sweet,
which it's just like, I love hearing.
And she was like, you don't have to do a nice thing
the rest of the day.
You're done for the day.
And I go, great.
So then when we put her bag back up and she goes, now that's my bag. And I go, nope, I already did. You said I didn't have to do anything nice for the rest of the day. You're done for the day. And I go, great. So then when we put her bag back up and she goes,
now that's my bag. And I go, nope, I already did. You said I didn't have to do anything nice for the
rest of the day. You're on your own. And I walked away and then I came back and helped her. But it
was funny. Yeah, I don't have to do that stuff. I do the opposite. I'm a bitch on the plane because
if someone asked me to take their bag down, I literally have to say, well, my cardiologist
told me that I can't lift over 30 pounds in each arm, so I can't take down your bag.
Wait, is that true?
That's true.
But that's what I think.
And then I do it anyway, and it hurts me.
Wait.
Oh, my goodness.
Your cardiologist told you you can't lift things?
Well, I have a heart condition.
What?
When?
It's not a big deal, at least for now.
Oh, wait.
This is the one that's not a big deal yet.
Yeah, it's fine.
I remember that. deal. At least for now. This is the one that's not a big deal yet. It's fine. But they said that don't lift
over 30 pounds with each arm
because it'll exacerbate
your heart condition. So I have not
been doing that since then.
When someone asks me to take their bag down, I know
that their bag is probably over 30 pounds.
You have to explain
that I have a heart condition.
I explain it in my head and then they just do it.
No! Be assertive! Be a bitch! I should be a bitch, And then I just do it Because I'm not gonna be like No Be assertive
Be a bitch
Yeah so it's like
I should be a bitch
But instead I just take it down
And I go now I'm gonna die
A week earlier
Because of this
Oh my god
Thanks a lot
That is the ultimate sacrifice
Yeah so
And I don't get credit for that
Yeah that's really nice of you
They don't know about my heart
I don't send them a PDF
Well how can you be assertive
In that situation like
what can you change about what you said sorry can't do it for you my heart sucks you know what
am i gonna say i have any kind of if you say heart condition we instantly everyone just stops
listening goes okay never mind like but even then i don't want there to be a scene and the whole
plane is like looking at me like uh like it's for another 17 seconds. I'm sorry. I have a heart condition
and then everyone's like, oh God,
that was a little extreme. Yeah, it's awkward.
It's a little extreme there. I have a friend.
I have a friend who is extreme. How dare you ask me
a person with a heart condition?
Thanks for asking, by the way, if I have
a heart, how I'm doing, you know? Yeah.
There really is no way to announce you have
a heart condition when you're all standing
up in that like tiny cabin area.
And everyone's just kind of, it's all quiet.
And there's no even music playing.
The loading music isn't playing.
It's just like the sounds of the plane kind of going like.
And everyone's just like, everyone wants me to take the bag down so that it goes faster.
Yeah.
And so now you are like reading your WebMD at this moment.
Yes, exactly. Yeah. You're taking out your WebMD at this woman. Yes, exactly.
Yeah.
You're taking out your heart medication pills to prove it.
Yeah.
Yeah, to prove it.
I have to be on beta blockers since I was 35.
And how dare you?
Honestly, what's even in that thing?
You're still talking as she's like,
someone else has already gotten it down for her.
And you're still explaining it.
I really would have
Fucking nerd
Heart condition yeah and no one really believes you
But also like yeah it's not a good look
No one believes you no nobody believes you
God
I have a lot of things that no one
Believes me that I have but I have
Yeah that's true you do
Like a personality
Yeah well no still up for debate
um dsw so um uh my friend sean has a um sean o'brien yeah sean o'brien he has flight anxiety
which was interesting to me but only after it lands he gets very anxious when everyone
is eager to get out that's an anxious moment so he pops vanities usually or some whatever he has
to calm himself as soon as the plane lands which i'm like once you're landed i think that's the
but he doesn't have a fear of flying he has a fear of everyone being anxious, which is so child of an alcoholic. No offense,
Sean.
It's so like,
I need to control this.
Like,
I can't stand that everyone is so eager to get out.
What,
what is that you think?
And,
and I was trying to like help him.
Do you think he's worried for like the stampede?
No,
maybe like in a, in a dark caveman way,
like he's worried about some kind of thing.
But I think what it was,
was cause I told him a thing that I do.
Cause I,
I sense it a little bit.
Like I don't,
I'm just like everyone,
ew,
calm down.
When people tend to get nervous around me,
I just go the opposite.
And I'm like,
you all are disgusting.
Like be cool.
Oh yeah.
This is hell.
Yes.
Like I really will.
Like if people around me are like,
so even on like working on my special,
if everyone's like,
we got to figure this out, I will just lay back
in my chair and be like, oh, damn it.
I reject
that anxiety.
I hate it. I hate it so much.
When I'm on a plane and everyone's getting nervous,
I don't even notice I do this
until I was talking to Sean and examining
it, but I will
keep my sleep mask on
after the plane has landed.
The lights are on.
Everyone's bags are packing up.
I will stay curled in a ball
with like a scarf over my face,
not on buckle my seatbelt
because I know I can do everything
in such a quick amount of time
that it won't affect,
it won't slow anything down.
I know that for me to take off my pillow,
pillow from my head,
put it in my bag,
put it around my scarf.
I'm fast.
It'll take me one minute.
But I like that everyone around me is like,
this girl,
she doesn't even,
she's not going to be ready to go.
I like,
I like that they're like,
I like that I'm adding to their window seat.
So it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
You can sit there and people could pass you by.
Who cares?
If they really do all the time. It's because sometimes I'm like,
I got to wait for my guitar to come up from the gates checked. And so I'm like, I'm not getting
off this plane. I'm not getting up out of my seat to wait in that cold hallway anytime sooner.
So people are like, or some people tap me like, are you okay? It's just like, I know what I'm
doing. Not that's very sweet of people because they don't want me to be, I've been woken up
on planes before when I've slept through and the cleaning crew is
on and like, lamb, you gotta go.
But yeah.
And I believe it too. If people know
Nikki Glaser, it's that she can do things very
fast. That's
the thing about me. I'm fast.
On FBoy Island, I noticed
that when you're making your exit after you
come in to see the guys or girls,
you kind of do a glazer
exit.
You're fast. It's the most
awkward part of my
fucking job is exiting
out of the boys and girls chats
on FBoy and now subsequently
FGirlIsland, which will be out soon.
I can't, I don't know how
anyone would do that seamlessly.
You just kind of go, okay guys, well, have a good party. I don't know how anyone would do that seamlessly you just kind of go okay guys well
have a good party i don't know how else this okay how else would you do it you gotta just get up and
go they don't need me anymore i'm hindering them from meeting the girls who they all want to have
sex with like they just have to talk to aunt nikki for a bit i feel like i gotta get out of here i'm
a burden to them so i fucking run but how else are you supposed to say when you're in a conversation with people and you have to go i i mean i'm sure i'm a producer's
dream in terms of like get her out of here but i'm wondering what else people would do than say
all right guys have a good night see you later that's it yeah no you you do it i just you just
do a fast and i like it no one notices it but i'm wondering how slower i could like what would
you do to do like what's something that like a slower hugging everyone instead of just getting
up and pivoting yeah see but we wouldn't you we would just not use that so i guess i'm just trying
to be time efficient you come in with your bag and you put it down and you take out a bottle of
water so that when it's time to leave. Props would slow me down.
Whenever I have props, like at therapy, I'm always
looking at the clock. I hate going to
over their time. I hate being a burden to
anyone too much.
I will start like, I'll just
put my drink in my lap and then I start
putting my fanny pack in my lap.
Props do help me signify
I'm getting ready
to abandon you.
And so gear up.
Don't be shocked because I think over the years,
my glazer exits have really, I have been jarring because they're so abrupt.
I know they are.
Chris coined glazer exit because him and his brothers,
him and his brother,
when they were living together and my friend,
Sarah Lena and Vaughn,
they were like,
you like leave so fast after you say you're leaving,
you leave.
And then you leave.
Yes.
There's no like,
Hey guys,
I'm thinking about going because it's a waste of fucking time.
It's a pleasantry that we don't need.
Yes.
If you leave,
you leave.
And it might be a bit,
it might be a little bit of a bitch.
Like I'm leaving.
Like it's too abrupt.
So just,
just as a reminder,
uh,
before you do a glazer exit on the podcast recording,
I have two questions I need to ask you before you leave.
Yeah.
Get up,
get them out.
So I'll ask them after we're done recording,
but I know you're going to do your glazer exit and be like,
all right,
bye.
Thanks.
Good job.
And then,
and you're gone.
Oh,
I glazer exit after this.
Okay.
After the recording,
you have two questions.
Okay.
That's good to know.
So let's like finish this up. Cause I'm dying to hear those questions. No one else gets to know them. You don't, they're exit after this. Okay, after the recording, you have two questions. I have two questions. Okay, that's good to know. So let's like finish this up because I'm dying to hear those questions.
No one else gets to know them.
They're not fun questions.
No, no.
Oh, they're not?
No, no.
Okay, well, Gemini with a Libra rising.
And rice cakes.
I don't know, actually.
That's true.
I'm an Enneagram three.
Uh-huh.
And what other things do people want to know about me? Rice cakes.
Rice cakes? Yeah.
I've been doing a thing with rice cakes that I'm obsessed
with. What? That I've been doing for a while
but I'm ready to reveal it because it is
kind of a weird food thing but I think it is so
delicious and consistency wise it's a dream.
You get your favorite type of milk
you put some
vanilla stevia
in it like one drop or like you know a whole dropper of it
to sweeten it and then you dip plain rice cakes into the milk to soak it up because they soak up
it's like cookies and milk but you know what cookie is like a hard unless it's adobe cookies
but you know how they're like generally hard and they don't soak up milk like to the center
and you might want to like you would have to leave a cookie soaked a really long time to get it really saturated.
If you're someone who likes really saturated things, rice cakes absorb instantly.
It's a sweet treat because there's sweetness in the milk.
And it like tastes like a sweet treat and has that consistency of like really soggy.
But you can do it for just a second if you don't like really soggy.
And it's so delicious.
And it's like cereal on your own terms. And you're biting it and you're dipping it in a bowl second if you don't like really soggy and it's so delicious and it's like cereal on your
own terms and you're biting it and you're dipping it
in a bowl. So that's my sweet treat.
But not salty? Isn't it a little salty?
Yeah, salt is always going to be good. I get the ones
that are unsalted, but if they're lightly salted
it's also delicious because salty
and sweet is always good. Sure.
Like a sea salt on a dark chocolate
bar. Yeah, exactly.
But this is more of an anorexic
take on that. You can put some chocolate
powder in it to actually add some sweetness.
But it's not anorexic. It's just like
it is inspired by those same kind of
eating habits of like, how do I eat as much as I can
without my calories? But it is a
sweet treat that is not hugely...
You can have like five rice cakes
and almond milk
with stevia and the whole thing ends up being like 150 calories and it feels like a big production and it's fun and it's sweet.
It's a treat.
Okay, so that's my tip.
Not a diet tip, just a fun snack tip.
And another tip is that the podcast will not be on next week.
So eat those rice cakes.
Enjoy them.
Think of me on the 16th.
Come to see me on the 16th in Seattle. Come to see us in Brea this weekend. Me, Brian Frangie and R.A.
Findling's brother, Noah Findling, um, are going to be in Brea at the improv this weekend,
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
And then I will be in Hollywood doing some, uh, random sets next week.
And then I will be in Spokane on Thursday night next week.
Um, and then it's so come see me there at a theater in Spokane.
And then that will be
the special
that will be the show
that will be the dress rehearsal
performance
of my special performance
which will be on the 16th
in Seattle
two shows to choose from
come out and see me
any of those shows
love you guys so much
New Year's Eve
and New Year's Eve Eve
in Paramount Theater
in Denver
so excited for those shows
going skiing before that
oh boy
as a treat to Chris
I hope I don't
I'm not on crutches on those shows.
I won't be because I'm a great skier and great things happen to me.
All right.
Thank you guys for listening to the podcast.
Don't be cuh.
And just be a fucking bitch.
Bye.
