Listen to The Daily Show Ears Edition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's Nikki. Hello, here I am. It's the Nikki Glaser Podcast. Welcome to it. I just realized right as we were coming into the show that my posture was not great,

but there's really no good way to sit in these chairs. So it just, I think I just get comfortable. Now that I'm doing Pilates all the time, three times a week, I've just really learned to like listen to my body and know what it needs. And it needs to slouch in every chair. Like it's against the grain

to do the way you're supposed to do in Pilates naturally. It's slowly happening. How do you slouch though? Because I've noticed that I slouch with my pelvis out as opposed to my back forward and like my head forward into my knees. Wait, your pelvis is out. I just always like lean into a chair like this.

Oh, you slouch open to the world Yes Oh see I slouch like a little Turning into a crustacean Hermit crab What about you? I definitely slouch forward I have a joke in my act where I say

I look like I'm an old man holding a lantern Trying to see who's outside That's so funny because that is exactly That's my posture as well. It's well, Kirsten or someone told me tall girls, tall people

feel tall women, especially because it just you feel awkward. You like learn how to slouch. So like people like you more and like tall women always have kind of

and just tall people in general, I think live in a world for smaller people. So their bodies have to like accommodate and then we end up like like, slouching. And having more, like...

Were you always tall? A tall one? I don't know when I got tall. Are you asking me? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, because I don't really... I don't identify as a tall woman, even though I'm 5'9". I'm probably, like, 5'8 and 3 quarters, but I'm generally, like, in that range. What's the cutoff?

When are you a tall woman? I think, for me, I think five, 10 is where you're remarkably tall as a woman. Yeah. Five, nine. It's like, there's a lot of us. Five, 10 is where I'm like, man, I would really stand out. Like I would love to be five, 10 and a half would be so cool. Cause you're like, I think that's a perfect height. Um, for me personally, as a woman, I, that's what I would But because I'm kind of close to it If I were a different height I'd probably aspire to 5'8 If I was 5'5 I think it's like you just

Whatever is just out of reach Is the one you're like What do you think it is for men? Men I think 6'2 I was gonna say 6'2 Is kind of the perfect Where it's not You're not like

You're not getting comments constantly It's like You're not gonna die younger die younger necessarily than everyone else. You start getting into Slenderman territory where it's like tall people don't live as long. No. Yeah, your veins get elongated. It's bad for your body.

Your heart can't pump as much blood through your body. Yeah. So maybe 5'9 is the perfect height for old Glazedog. How do we even get on this about height? You're saying you're slouching. Oh, Pilates. of your body. Yeah. So maybe 5'9 is the perfect height for old Glazedog. But I... How do we even get on this about height? You're saying you're slouching in Pilates. Oh, yeah. I did Pilates twice yesterday because... That's crazy!

I just went to the first class and I was so tired because I did my special this weekend. We'll get to it in a second. But I flew back on... I taped it on Saturday night. Brian was there. Noah wasn't there, but she's supposed to be there. But she was there in spirit, man. She was. I loved it.

We'll talk about that in a second. But I... The theater was haunted with Noah's spirit. It did feel like you were there. There were so many moments where I was like, oh, I wish Noah were here. But like, all in all, we'll just get to it. Noah, you got sick the day.

You felt like sick when you woke up in the morning to fly to Seattle. Yeah, I had like a little stomach thing and I threw up. And my flight when you woke up in the morning to fly to seattle yeah i had like a little stomach thing and i threw up and my flight was like at seven in the morning it was two flights to get there that day at the end of the day holla and taylor were like we're going on 24 hours and i go what and they're like we've been up because of the time change we've been up 24 hours and i go what are you talking about like why did you do this don't ever do this again to yourself that's horrible and so when I I was I would never have cared even if you were like I

just did it I woke up and I didn't feel like doing it like I don't need to even reason but having a stomach ache and then having to do that day I would have felt horrible for you so I'm so glad you didn't that that's what I really appreciate about having you as a friend especially as like someone who has like a lot of things going on and it's great to have friends there and support. I know that if I ever have to say to you, I can't go or if I don't show up, you'll always be forgiving.

And you always say this on the show. First of all, that special was not about me. It would have happened whether I was there or not. It was great whether I was there or not. And I know that you would like, I just heard you say like noah it's fine don't worry about it and then i'm so glad that that was in your head if you didn't

think the special was about you you're gonna be pretty surprised when it comes out on hbo because here's like a solid 10 minutes it was a good decision that you um didn't go and i appreciate you making that for yourself and like not having to like, I hate when people are like scared of my reaction on things where I go, I would never care. Like you worried about that even for a second. Like, I think we all have that.

I think this weekend I sent you a text, Brian, and you're like, cause I was like, in case you're thinking this and you were like, I would never think that. And I was like, I'm just, you know, you just got to cover your bases. I was lost. But there were a lot of friends there. And I did feel afterwards in the green room. I was like, this is kind of like a

wedding. Yes. You have all your favorite people around you. We're all there to support you. We're all making sure you got the right dress on and you're ready to do your thing. And you go out there and we're all sitting there watching you do this. And then when you're done, it really felt like that post wedding. We're all sitting there around just, that was such a fun part of your wedding. Like that we all had. And that is my favorite thing is like,

there's people who are all really close to one person there. And you all have this comfort of like kind of joking around, even though, and it's also people getting to know each other. Cause it's like Brian and Ari and Chris and then hala and taylor and tim convey was there and tim convey and like it's just a great grouping of people that all love you so you're like the they're all orbiting your world and then they're all meeting for the first time they all kind of like know each other already just via you know stories so yeah that that post show hang was like

by far the highlight of my experience which is like it that's why i do these things like i like the release afterwards of like now we can all just joke around and laugh and it's like we're all done we accomplish this thing in the two sets do you hang out in between the two sets or yeah everyone came back and hung out in my green room which was so fun as well like that was a really bright spot for me as well, because we already, there was, it was half accomplished, right? Like I knew I got it once. And even though I was like, oh, I want to, you know, do a better show on the second one or just, you know, try to at least match it and I have to bring it. And I was a little, there's a little bit of fear there. It's like, but we got it. Like, I don't need like if, so I was able to

relax a little bit and, and have fun in between shows and um it was fun because we were like going through jokes what to add because on the second show we had to actually take away some things but we were also planning on adding a lot of things and if you don't know Brian was my like head writer of my special so like he was there for with me for the past five six weeks of just like intensely looking at the material, editing down what probably was in the end three hours of stuff that we wrote or was already written and we didn't include it, but had to be parsed through.

So Brian and I accomplished such a feat. It was awesome. I had such a great time shadowing you, essentially going around. We spent a few nights in la also just going around to all the clubs in la doing spots and that was awesome to do it was just so cool i i just love entering a club with nikki glazer and everyone's like um and everyone's like oh everyone just says hello oh hey nikki they already know who you are obviously you walk in and then

you go there with me and then sometimes even when you say there with me, they go, you can't come in here. Who are you? And then you have to double there with me. One time, Chris and I tried to go in the store with pieces of pizza. And Nikki walked in. And then one guard was like, oh, hi, Nikki. And let us walk in. And another one was like, you can't go in with pizza.

And the other guard was like no no that's Nikki's people with pizza and she was like I'm sorry for some reason yeah I know it's crazy um yeah that's that's the there with me thing it does sound so cliche entourage but like I love it

it's just a quick when I'm like I am due on stage now and I'm walking in a place I don't have time to be like it's just easy I just say like like I am due on stage now and I'm walking in a place I don't have time to be like it's just easy I just say like these are my friends or they're with me

like just quickly because it's just a shorthand to let security guards know like they don't have to like these are just like two guys wandering off

following me which if you are just a guy and you want to get into a comedy club for free wait until a comedian is entering

and just go right in behind them wait until Nikki's entering because there just go right in behind them yes they will not question entering because there's no time to waste become my friend and then yeah if you're my friend like if there are any close friends listening can i just tell you just don't ever buy a comedy ticket to my show i always feel i'm always like i can get people in that are my close friends and that does not go to people i don't know no offense um but yeah like you get you get in with if and and it's like extended to like i'll get you in any club you

want to get in around the country within reason my friends i i like i like hooking people up and comedy clubs are happy to do it i got in um oh my god on the uh i the, the talk on CBS, uh, like a month ago to promote F boy Island and Amanda clutes. I think that's her name. Sometimes I read names and I never say them. So I apologize if I'm getting that wrong, but she is on the talk and she's gorgeous and cool. And, um,

can you look that up? Noah? So I'm make sure I'm getting her name right. Clutes. Clutes. K L O O T S. Emily Ratajkowski. Emily Ratajkowski. Emily Ratajkowski.

No, it's Kowski. Ratajkowski. Did I get it? It's two animals. Did I say it right on any of the shows? You did. Yeah. I think I got it second on the second show.

You just got to remember it's two animals. I do. I name check Emily Ratajkowski. There's a J in there. It doesn't belong in there. I just have to remember the Rata. And then, yeah, but there is a J in there. So I always wanted to do a Jowski but we were definitely watching youtube videos about how to pronounce her name oh is there anything worse i literally wrote that joke i only said

that joke on the special i never did that joke before what a wild thing is there anything worse than a youtube pronunciation video it's like three minutes, and now we're going to show you how to pronounce the word that we're about to say. And it's not even a real person. It's a bot talking to you. And you're like, just cut. No one needs to hear this bot. No one's getting anything out of this.

This bot isn't like having an ego moment. So we don't need to give it extra time. Like I understand when people who are making a video do a really long intro because they have egos that they want to serve and they want to talk more. And they like themselves. But a bot doesn't have an ego to serve so just cut the bot off.

They're serving the algorithm not the ego because it needs to be a certain amount of time and then there may be an ad in there. Why don't they just say Emily Ratajkowski

a million times then just over and over that's all anyone wants is just to go to it and hear it. People would go away from the video then. You know,

if they heard what they needed they'd go away. Oh my God. They need to wait 40 seconds. Are you telling me that things that are made for humans to then further

our capitalistic goals aren't considering the easy way for people to get something? That's right. They're not really considering our experience? That's right, Nikki.

And what would make things better for us? You experienced firsthand the great flaw of capitalism. That's Amanda Kloots, by the way. Kloots. Yeah. Got it. Right. Got it. Right. Because it kind of looks like Amanda Knotts.

Was that her name? Amanda Knox. Knox. Why am I? What is wrong with my brain? Amanda Knox. That's what it looks like. Well, I put a T in there because of Kloots. I'm getting them. So one of them was, you know, in jail in Sweden or something or Germany. And the

other is on the talk. But anyway, she came to the show. Thank you so much. Amanda Clutes came to the... Oh, she did? To the Comedy Store one of the nights. It was during one... You remember the night of six sets? I remember the night of six sets. Yeah. She was at the one in the comedy store original room, you know, the front room.

And it was kind of a rough, it wasn't great. And I kind of saw her blonde hair in the showroom. And I remember being like, if she doesn't talk to me again after this set, I understand. Oh, she DM'd me for tickets. Just being like, hey, I have a date. I'd love to come see you or whatever. And so I hooked it. I was like, oh my dm'd me for tickets on just being like hey i have a date i'd love to come see you or whatever and so um i hooked it i was like oh my god of course because when i did

the show i was worried she didn't like me i just like i wanted her to like me so much because she's like a pretty blonde girl that i like she's just cool and so um i was so happy when i when she asked for tickets i was like yes come see me and then i was like oh god i was doing the bit where i'm like, you know, pushing my pussy into the stool and like, it's not getting any laughs. Like it does get normal. It's just like a very vulnerable.

And she wrote me two days later. I was like, okay. And the day after I was like, I didn't hear from her. I'm like, that makes sense. This is the right decision for you, Amanda.

Um, and then she wrote me the next day. I was like, it was so good. I was like, she goes, I'm, I've tried to say hi to you, but you ran out, it was so good. And I was like, she goes, I tried to say hi to you, but you ran out.

I was like, I think I was like embarrassed of what had just happened and wanted to get the fuck out because sometimes when you're trying out new stuff that is like physical and you're not committed to it

and you're kind of just tired because you're doing six sets, it doesn't go great. Yeah. But you know what you get used to? It not going great. Like I think in this process of writing these jokes and having to throw so much new stuff out all the time without

and just and not really memorizing it right i learned how to like kind of bomb again you know like i'm i'm comfortable doing something that's getting no laughs and f boy island by the way because i would constantly you're constantly bombing there because you're delivering jokes to people who like either are too nervous to understand the joke or just are not in the mood to get the joke or or actively dislike you yeah or are the and are the butt of the joke and can't say anything back i mean it's not an ideal crowd it's also a mind fuck when you're delivering stuff on set because you're surrounded by dozens of people who cannot make a noise yes that's so true yeah it really sucks falling in love what are you talking about no the people holding the camera the crew all the crew like i'm sitting

there just like they if they laugh they lose their jobs like you are in front of people that like can't possibly laugh so you know when i first started doing f boy island the producers would always be like the the control rooms going wild they're laughing so much and i'm like i needed that very much and now when i hear it i just go i assume so like i just in my head i'm killing somewhere yeah no the control room's laughing but out front it's like squid game it's like nobody yes but in my head kill it like i'm okay like even when we did a rehearsal the other day and i have to like deliver i had to deliver my opening minute like we had to shoot it like i had to probably run it 10 times with no audience

and it it's hard because you're just like oh i had to start going like okay how long do people laugh here okay just imagine the laughter like kind of of – but it takes you out of it so much when there isn't laughter. But when I know there's not going to be, I can just get through it, I think, most of the time. I have a question. Yeah. When you were taping Bangin, I remember one of the things that you were talking about during that time for your approach for the special was you were going to stop if you wanted to retake a line. Yeah.

And I was wondering if you did that on this one. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I did. Second show more than the first. Yeah, because second show, it was like, if I don't get it, if I fucked it up the first show, I don't need to retake it.

We got to keep the show short anyway. But if I didn't get it on the second show, and I know we didn't get it on the first, I better be nailing this line. So I would take it again a lot more on the second show. But yeah, I definitely stopped. And I told the audience beforehand that I was gonna be doing that,

so they weren't like, is she stroking out right now? Because I would just, because I do it without being like, I don't laugh about it and go, let me take that again. I just go back. Like, it's like you press the 10 seconds before button on your phone.

Like, I would just do it. So cool. So it can be a little, like, confusing. My voice teacher was there at the first show. He flew out from here to Seattle, which was so nice. And he was there with his wife. Oh, he did too? What?

I didn't know that. Yeah, we didn't get to see him because he was there before the first show. But I went down and he hung out with my friends. He was giving Anya like a singing lesson in my green room. It was so cute. But he, what did he say? What was I even alluding to? Retaking the lines?

Yeah, oh yeah, me retaking the lines. And then at one point I had a pretty severe makeup malfunction, which happens. Sometimes you need to be touched up. But Robin, my makeup girl, is kind of like, you're done once she's done. It's kind of amazing.

There's not many touch-ups that happen. And I think that most makeup artists actually don't need to do touch-ups. They do them to justify their job. But Robin has no... She's not trying to constantly remind people she's working hard because she's just like,

I nailed it. It's done. And so I don't think most makeup artists probably do need to touch up as much as they do. But so I'm a set it and forget it with Robin. But then all of a sudden they're like, we need to do your makeup. And I'm like, there's no way. Why would my makeup be fucked up 25 minutes in? Like, it just doesn't make sense. And then it was discovered.

This is a big problem. This was crazy. Wait, hold on. We should go to break. We should go to break. This is a good place. We'll find out what happens when we get back.

Teaser, listen to every commercial full length on one time speed in order to really listen to the end of the story the best way. You don't need to do that

but do what you want. We'll be right back. Guys, sorry. The episode was cruising along so i have to insert this later because i forgot to tell you initially but i'm i'm going to do my two last shows of the year in denver so that is december 30th and december 31st we're doing new year's eve eve and new year's eve they're both going to be raucous balls to the wall shows of all material that i like i just taped the special i'm free it's going to be my first after the special.

Ready to laugh and stay informed? Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, we're back.

So I'm on stage and all of a sudden I am, I forget how I was told because I was told so many times to stop during the show because anything out of line, you want to fix right away. Chris is in the control room. I know she's going to be bothered by that hair. I don't want to be in the edit with her and have her go, why didn't you tell me about that hair? I could have just gone back. So he's constantly navigating like, should I interrupt this? Is that spot a big enough thing to bother her about? So it's normal to have these moments. But what is not normal is I get called to the side of the stage on the first show. And they're like, there's black paint on your face. I was like, what?

So yeah, there's black paint on my face. And I'm like, oh, I knew exactly what it was. Because the mic was supposed to be black when I got there. And I, uh, I, I'm, and I'm like, Oh, I knew exactly what it was because my, the mic was supposed to be black when I got there. It wasn't, it wasn't a big deal, but it's just, it was supposed,

it was supposed to be that way. And so I wasn't trying to be like Barbara. It was, I was reminded of the story Kathy Griffin told about Barbara Streisand and Oprah's show. Um, she did it in one of her specials. She like closes with it, I think.

But, uh, Barbara Streisand goes on Oprah's show and then Kathy is on the show the next day. And Kathy is a huge Barbara fan and Oprah is too. So Kathy's on the show the next day and in the middle of, you know, and during commercial break,

Kathy was just like, thank you for having me. She goes, Oh my God, Barbara Strand is in yesterday. And Oh, Kathy beforehand had told that she had watched the performance. It was amazing.

And her mic was white. And it was just beautiful beautiful and the whole set was white and everything was white she's in white and the mic is white and it just was like such a cool look and then the next day she goes to Oprah and um she's like what about how was Barbara and she goes do you know that bitch painted my mic white that's the first thing she said she goes that bitch painted my mic white maybe she didn't say bitch but I just remember it that way and um so i just always associated having your mic painted as like a such a diva thing to go in so i was just like can we like is can something be done so they painted it but it didn't dry in time and who knew i was i'm just like up on this mic the whole no i didn't smell it because I'm just like,

so I just grabbed the mic and I go. Like I haven't, there's no sensory, I'm not, I'm out of my body when I'm like performing. So it could be on fire and I would still be like holding it like, hey, my like skin is melting off my hands. During the dress rehearsal, which is like about 90 minutes prior to the first show starting, that we noticed that the top of the mic

was silver as a normal mic would be like this. Yeah. It just like with this set that we spent so much money on that looks amazing and I'm in a perfect outfit and everything is like stunning. Everything is perfect. The stool down to the stool down to the floor that I'm walking on had been

done. I mean, we got the best lighting guy in the business. We have the best director of live events ever, who has directed 15 Super Bowl halftime shows in a row. We got that guy to do my special. And so I was like, I want the mic to not look like

the same one that's at a karaoke place down the street. Like, it shouldn't. We should have known though. 90 minutes left and we're like, like Okay we'll spray paint The microphone black What was Why did we think Did it get on your hand

That that would not Get on your face Literally any of us Knew That paint takes longer To dry than that Everyone knows But we

Paint has to dry All of us No everyone involved With that decision Did not consider that No And I can't be mad about it because I didn't either. I know about paint drying and I knew it was painted.

Okay, where did the paint go? It was a funny moment. Where did it get? Where did the paint get? Like on your hand? I don't know. I'm guessing just like all around my lip. It was right.

It was under your lower lip. It was on your chin mostly. So the good news is a lot of the time the microphone covered up where the black paint was. But I do want to give credit. I would have loved like just I have a Hitler mustache. It is black paint. I am rubbing it. I mean it was just below. It was like a little soul patch.

So it was just the opposite. You look like you were doing jazz. Like a 90s grunge band. I want to give credit, though, because we're in the Video Village. We're watching this on screen. And we're all just watching it. And there's about 20 people in there. There's only one person who noticed that you had black paint on your face.

One person. And it was Chris Convey. That's right. Chris Convey noticed. And then he immediately hops up he's like she's got pain in her face she's got pain in her face and there are other people in there who will not be named who were like I don't see anything I don't

think there's pain in her face and then there was and Chris was like he was like that boy who cried wolf or something because he's like no it's there it's there it's there and it was there and then we stopped it and looking out oh my god honestly if someone wouldn't have seen it and that it would have, we would have lost so much footage.

So like everything, like we can't complain all we want that the paint incident even happened. But the fact that Chris Convy caught it is a miracle. So did they stop the set? And saved us so much more paint. What? They stopped it. So you had to stop the set. And then Robin came out and like put, like,

you know, use the paint thinner. Gotcha. Sprayed me with paint thinner. Got it off. And then the show went on and then it, I think I had one more touch up after that because the paint

still was not dry and I was trying to avoid it but, you know, you can't be obsessed with something when you're trying to think of your jokes.

Like I had to like prioritize where my energy was going in terms of, you're considering like what your body does, what, if you're wearing this tiny little dress, you have had to like prioritize where my energy was going in terms of, you're considering like what your body does, what, if you're wearing this tiny little dress,

you have to consider like how you're standing and like, there's a lot of physical things to consider while also being the joke. Feel this thing you wrote five months ago

or five minutes ago and really get in that feeling you had when like, it's just so much to juggle, but it really was fun. I don't know, did you get to see any of the uh

like any sort of footage um i saw uh still images and then they also brought up a um screen during the um rehearsal so i could see what it looked like and so i saw all of the shots like while i was on stage and i was like hot damn damn. I know. I mean, looking at it from the video village and all the screens. It is, the only word I can think of is glamorous.

It's almost like the Oscars. It looks so good. It's incredible. Well, the guy who lit it lights the Oscars. Lights the Oscars and the guy who directed it

directs the halftime shows and the Super Bowl. It's, you got an all-star team together and it looks good. And also, I want to say, not trying to

flatter you or whatever, but really, truly watching this with everything around you, I was thinking star quality. I mean, you were really, this was a star on stage.

Thank you. You were literally glowing. And this is a true special. Yeah, yeah. This is a special. That's Thank you. We're literally glowing. And this is a true special. This is a special. That's what specials are supposed to be. That's so nice, Brian. Thank you for saying that. Well, the amount of work that both you and I put into it,

it better be fucking special. That's the thing. We couldn't have worked harder on it. I mean, I guess we could have, but we wouldn't have enjoyed the process. We could have worked slightly harder, yeah. we we worked our asses off on it so it just felt like it it better be fucking special and it was and that's the note i got afterwards which was really nice um i don't know if you heard this but um david jammy the you know producer and then um

hamish hamilton the director were talking to me after the show. And David Jamey was just like, you can see the hard work that went into this. Someone who didn't work hard couldn't have done what you just did. So that really makes me feel good to be like, okay, well, hard work does pay off. And pushing past those moments where you want to cry and give up, it helps when you can't give up like i get white people go to pilates classes because during a one-on-one session i can like i i guess i get white people go to any kind of personal training because when you are accountable to someone you can't give up and so i couldn't give up but working out on your own is really if people can do that

good on you yeah or like do the stuff you like I can work out alone on a treadmill like walking to Taylor Swift and like boop-ba-da-boop but like lifting weights, I haven't found a way to make that fun on my own and so I need someone to like be disappointed in me if I don't do it. When I was in high school, I used to work at a gym and some trainer there once told me

just imagine like the weights when you're lifting weights or you're like doing a pull imagine you're just like ripping an enemy's face off And that kind of helps Do you do that a lot? Rip enemy's faces off? Yeah, like when you're working out, do you visualize that? You know what I do?

I visualize when I'm running or something And I'm listening to like the Spidey Man Into the Spider-Verse When you're listening to Lindsey Stirling probably When I'm listening to Lindsey Stirling Probably Even though you didn't Know it was her When I'm listening To Lindsey Stirling I do imagine

Like getting vengeance On people Like I'm like Wow Like I'm holding swords Chopping up people I don't know But it helps

It helps to imagine that Are you in a movie Doing that Or is it like Really actually You're doing that If I was a real animator I would animate

What I'm envisioning Because I do think It's worthy of like A short Like a six minute short It's all in my head You are an animator, I would animate what I'm envisioning because I do think it's worthy of like a short, like a six minute short. It's all in my head. You are an animator. Is that not what you are? Yeah, but I'm not good enough to be able to do what I'm imagining. But you could tell someone that and they could animate it for you.

I could try. But yeah, I think it helps to imagine yourself just like fighting off an enemy or something like that. Maybe that's just like a macho man thing. Mine, nothing I do is ever me doing it i fantasize about being a character in a movie who's doing it and like i'm on the screen and i imagine you know my favorite i probably talked about it before is dave matthews the stone

it's like and it's just this, I have this sneaking suspicion that things here. And I always imagine I'm like a young college student running around like Boston or like Harvard campus. And I have my earmuffs on and I'm investigating a crime that I was just studying for like a paper or something. But like now the murderer is like possibly coming after me and I'm like running and like they might be after me but i'm also like training in a way i also can do the same act out and it's not that specific in my head but i guess if i'm thinking

through that's kind of the movie it is um and then also yoshimi battles the pink robots i think the that one is a really good one to run to if you're like a girl that wants to pretend you're a superhero because it's about a superhero that is training To like fight off the evil robots And it makes me feel like that Now that you mention that, that's what I do I'm not imagining me actually Ripping off people's faces, I'm imagining

I'm in like an animated movie And I'm like a samurai or something I'm doing what you're doing Do you do that Noah? Do you ever, is there anything that helps you any visualization or kind of like i role play thing yes masturbating people do this all the time masturbating and i go how are you doing this imagining this like celebrity touching you like i don't i don't fantasize in that way not okay so masturbating is different but when i'm working out i just think think about like, okay, this is how I get like better at jujitsu.

I just want to get better at jujitsu. Oh yeah. When it's hard, like, well, you're thinking about the end goal and you have one in mind. It's not like just this. And I think that helps people if they're like,

I want this part of my body to be this. And I'm imagining it getting that way. I think what helps me going in Pilates lately is that I, I'm a clock watcher lately because I found out where the clocks are. They're kind of like mysteriously looking in my Pilates place. They almost look like pieces of art. So I thought they were art for like the first three

weeks I was going. And now I know they're clocks. So before I had no way of knowing what time was unless I tried to like sneak a gander at my instructor's like watch. But I kind of liked it because i'm like it would classes would either fly by or they'd go super slow but generally they'd fly by if you're just not watching the clock better but now i have the clock and it fucking tick tocks and so now

i've been when i'm in like you know i've got two-thirds of the thing left to go and i'm like stretching and i'm like hating it. I just imagine this is over in some dimension. Like just get to that dimension. In some sliding doors world, like in the future, this is over. The future is coming. There's no avoiding it. It always comes. So just imagine when it's over and that this is just a memory you're feeling as opposed to doing it. I don't know what I'm even doing, but somehow that helps me of like, this will be over. Yeah.

And in another universe, you're like an iguana. So like being in a plank is nothing. You're always in a plank. Yeah. What if they're always in planks, just like their whole life is just like, oh,

so miserable. Oh, I hope not. What a horrible existence of just, I love those memes about planks and how that like, it's the fastest way to make 10 minutes go by. What are you laughing at? Just the impression of the iguana.

It was so accurate. I do have a life hack. I got to share. This is only something that I don't know if this is available to most people, but when I was in New York, I would go to New York Sports Club And I would run on the treadmills And you know how they have TVs on the treadmills So on the treadmills

They had a channel that was just Movie trailers And I think I don't know if this is true I think you can run for unlimited amount of I think a human being can run for unlimited time if they're watching movie trailers. Well,

this is a great idea then. So maybe you set your YouTube, you put, find a mix of movie trailers for YouTube and everyone tries this out for your cardio at some point and see if you can go longer. Yeah. Because they're about two minutes long each or maybe a little bit shorter. So it's quick rolling over songs are,

but yeah, but mostly they're inspirational. The music keeps changing and then they give you these like a lot of them are like have stories yes little stories yeah i mean it's perfect previews i watch i would say starting from 2000 and on maybe 1999 i would turn to my friend and go well i don't need to see that movie because i just did i would say that about every single one so like you're right you are and sometimes you're getting a better movie you're getting a superior film because trailers are films in and of themselves and they are made not by the person who made the movie i would say 99.999 of the time so it's

someone else entirely their creative uh input uh on thing. And a lot of times they just fucking nail it. My favorite thing to watch that is just one of my favorite things to watch. It'd probably be my top 10 like YouTube films or like YouTube things to watch is the trailer for the Facebook movie. The what is it? Social Network. Wow. It's one of the best three minutes of your life. It takes you on such a journey. What do you like about it? Social network Wow It's one of the best Three minutes of your life It takes you on such a journey

What do you like about it? They're singing And they're doing the classic thing That everyone makes fun of now But it works for a reason They're singing Radiohead's Are they singing Creep? No surprises

They're singing I saw No Maybe they're No they're not doing I'm thinking of a choir And I'm thinking of Can't get no satisfaction, but,

what are they singing? I forget now. It's Creep. I think it might be, Don't care if you don't do a wonderful thing. It's Creep. Yeah, it's that, it's so good, but it's a spooky like children's choir.

And there's like all these scenes that they put together. They go, Mark. And there's, and by the way, I was talking about this one time and Bill Dixon, our friend from F boy Island was like, wait, I watched that probably once a month. And I'm like,

yes, it is. Like I felt so vindicated and you know what else I felt very vindicated about. And I don't think I've talked about it on here is that Tik TOK, there was a surge of people talking about and obsessing over the Fleetwood Mac, Lindsay Buckingham, um, performance of time casts a spell on you,

but you won't forget that whole thing where she's like, they're both looking at each other and he's like, and she's screaming at him and was I just a voice? And then, and he looks mad, but they're also like, I fucking each other parts of it. That went viral on Tik TOK because people were like,

check this out, the sexual tension, the song about these two people who used to be lovers decades ago and they're in the band together. And I was on that train so long ago. And I'm not saying, I don't get mad.

I'm not one of these people that's like, why did you give me credit? I'm just, I want a little credit from people who know that I told you that was a great video

and it felt so good because there's sometimes I'm so drawn to something and I'm so obsessed with something that I'm just like, what's wrong that everyone's not feeling this way? And I gotta say, that made me feel pretty good. And guess what else? Taylor Swift. Being that obsessed with Taylor Swift and then

watching the whole nation become even more obsessed than I am in terms of like her and Travis walking out. And now she's at the game. And I'm like, I don't even need this much footage of Taylor Swift at a football game and I don't care but you know like everyone's more obsessed with her than it's

it's just nice to see that I mean I'm definitely still very obsessed and no I like seeing it I mean every once in a while I like seeing a reaction this weekend she got really upset oh she goes fuck and I was I love that because her mouth opened so wide and that's such an amazing

trait of a very good singer is that you can like unhinge your jaw and I was just, all weekend I was doing the fuck? And trying to get it as wide as she naturally gets her mouth. It's so good and everyone makes fun of her always being like, like shocked. And she never gets red

lipstick on her teeth. Go. What the fuck? I know. She's so pretty. It's so stupid. That's one of the things. It's just she is one of the prettiest people.

She just always looks fresh and nice. And I just I've never seen her look bad. Literally ever. I've never been like, whoa, she looks rough. Ever. This is the first time I'm realizing this. I can't think of a single picture of Taylor Swift

where she is not beautiful. But it might be because I love her so much. Because a lot of times I can't see any bad pic. My friends always look good in every picture because I love them so much.

So when they're like, ew, look at me here. I hate myself. I'm just like, I love that face. She's also a billionaire. Oh, I actually, what was that? she's also a billionaire but even billionaires like look a certain way and kind of like go like whoa like and she's having her picture take it all the time like

she's just a very pretty person and that's all pictures of elon where he doesn't look very good he's the most he could make those disappear he probably has made many of them disappear which is yeah impressive that that can make us disappear. He probably has made many of them disappear, which is impressive that that many bad pictures exist. He can make us disappear, probably. Can you imagine what the really bad ones... Remember Beyonce had that one

erased that you can find easily or at least attempted to? I don't remember that. It's literally like... For those of you not watching on YouTube, Nikki looks like she's in a roller coaster.

Yeah. It's a wild picture, but it looks cool. She looks like vascular and like she's making a roller coaster yeah it's it's a wild picture but it looks cool she looks like vascular and like she's making goofy face but she looks strong and fucking awesome and um I I think it's that's what you want to hear you look vascular don't you want to look vascular I want to look like strong like isn't vascular like muscles or that's veins I guess I'm vascular but vascular in a good way where it's like, I don't know. Sometimes veins come out when you're muscly and toned. Yeah.

Yeah, for sure. I mentioned it in a good way, Beyonce, if you're listening. Also when you have varicose veins is what I think of. Oh yeah. Yeah.

She has spider veins. She just had veins popping out of her body. Maybe it's because I love her. I like, you know, she can't look ugly to me. So it's embarrassing. It's so funny to me.

But there are times where I look like a legit, like tired, like cucumber, like the picture of Lindsay Lohan like there's never been a picture of Taylor Swift like oh in the back of the car like that's a face I've made in my normal life that has been captured by film I've looked like exactly like that but I was not passed out in a car this wasn't an ugly face anything, but I did catch you making a face in the airport. No, I said this to the girls, Chad. I go, Brian says I make a face a lot and I've caught myself making that face so many times since you pointed it out, Brian.

Okay, can I try to see what it was? Was it this? Close. Yeah, yeah. A little more close. Yeah, like that. Like that. Even, yes.

Really? That is wild because I wasn't, I didn't know I was making that face. more close. Yeah. Like that. Like that. Even. Yes. Really? It was that pronounced? Yes. It is wild because I wasn't, I didn't know I was making that face. Like that is the weird part. That's dangerous to walk around with that face. We were at the airport.

That's not a resting bitch face. That's an activated, like, cunt face. Well, it was there. I was, and I,

but it immediately changed when I, because I was there, you were there, but we didn't go together. You just didn't see each other at the airport yeah and you were going into the uh the security line walking the security line i was going on the other side of the security line and i saw you making the face and i go hi nikki and you immediately changed your face so you immediately get out of it you said initially I thought you said I made that face at you and I was like, oh my God,

I would hate for someone to think when I was excited to see them because I was excited to see you. So it wasn't like, I was like faking it or like, I just was in a moment and then you snapped me out of it. It's the one place

and it's the one place where every single time it's exciting to see someone you know, I think is the airport. I don't think I've ever been disappointed to see someone in the airport that I knew. You just go like, whoa. Yeah, I get so happy about it.

You're here at this place. Even though we all have to go here to get anywhere. Yeah. But it's because you know there's an out. It's like, oh, I gotta go. I gotta catch my flight. You know you're not going to be there. Oh my God, that's it.

Yeah, everyone's there. And you have some mutual thing to talk about. There should be a dating app for just people who cross through on airports. Yeah, terminal. So it'd be like, it's just lunch. Like there's no, you know, it's not not gonna last forever. Just a quick meeting. That's such a good point. I've been so excited to see

everyone that I see in airports. You're right. It's kind of like in a way seeing somebody abroad. Like if you're in some town in italy and you see someone that from america that you know it's like what the hell i love those stories where people are like the coincidences that happen it's not a coincidence but my sister saw um stanley from the office when she was in paris and that was a cool thing to see like an american

celebrity there i have two friends uh michael christina who they they were both brian that's great i do i have them thank you yes they're mine okay so you're two friends um they were uh friends in new york and they did comedy together improv and they coincidentally coinc, both went to Iceland at the same time. And it was a total coincidence. They did not plan this. And it was at Iceland that a relationship flourished. And now they are married. Long story short.

How did they see each other on the plane? They just ran into each other in Iceland? They ran into each other in Iceland? They ran into each other in Iceland. They just happened to go to Iceland the same week with separate groups of friends. Okay, can I just make a point why this isn't that crazy? Okay. Wait, these people are originally friends before Iceland? Friends before Iceland, yes.

Okay. The Iceland thing is a coincidence, yes. Okay. The Iceland thing is a coincidence, but there's only so many places people can go. There might have been an Orbitz deal on a flight. There might have just,

there might have been a movie out around that time where more people were advertised Iceland. But it's still a coincidence, right? Okay, two people

going to Iceland. The fact that they fall in love, not that big of a coincidence because here's the thing. People love a story of like how we came to be and like sometimes people can fall in love, not that big of a coincidence because here's the thing. People love a story of like how we came to be. And like, sometimes people can fall in love and they're meant to be already, but like sometimes I can push a relationship forward because you have this like thing that

you shared and that's kind of a coincidental thing. And like, it makes sense that you would at least keep dating that person longer. And then that person is your soulmate and the person you're meant to be with. It's beautiful, but I think sometimes those things get people to go like, oh, then maybe I should, like if she would have just run into him at a bar locally, they probably would have, they could have just dated for a while

and then like been like, oh, whatever. But now that they have this like, we were destined to be together, this must mean that we must stay together longer. And they might work on their relationship more because of that, which then makes to be together. This must mean that we must stay together longer. And they might work on their relationship more because of that, which then makes them good together. I want you to imagine it a different way. Okay.

Because this is not a soulmate thing. I do think they probably would have gotten married regardless of Iceland. Okay. Okay. Imagine this. Yes. You have a crush on somebody. Yes.

And then you just go on a trip to Iceland. You have a crush on somebody, but you're not hanging out with this person all the time. You just had a crush on them, maybe from work. I don't know. And then you go to Iceland. You would take it as a sign.

I'm not saying to take it as a sign, but how incredible would you feel? There's no question about it. Yes, it would be amazing. Is there with you in Iceland? It would be the best thing in the world. I think I'm jealous of it. It sounds like your life is a rom-comcom i'm just saying that the fact that you feel like your

life is a rom-com makes you want to have a happier ending and like but you know i think people stay together sometimes because they're like the story of how we met is so crazy like god wanted us to meet or it was fate the stars are aligned and it's like well you just got lucky because i i just remember this radio lab episode that i loved so much they were talking about oh i know exactly what it's such a good episode shang wang originally told showed me it in like 2009 we were on a road trip together and he was like this episode of the show is so good that's how he talks he was like you don't know radio lab girl oh my god you gotta listen i don't know i said girl he doesn't call me that um and we put on this episode and they were talking about how like you know if you win the lottery you feel

like it was just luck but someone has to win it right like if you threw a dart into a field of grass one of those blades of grass is going to get hit so it's not that crazy when it does happen it's just a matter of like crazy odds which you can be like, wow, that's luck. But it's not like, it's not that, it's not unbelievable because it has to happen. And so most coincidences where you go, I can't believe it was me.

It's like, but it has to happen to someone. It just, your number came up and there's millions of lotteries we're winning and not winning every day. And I know that takes the magic out of life.

That's like such a negative way of thinking. Take the magic out. It's such a, like the coincidence almost like guides you into thinking positively or like gives you an excuse

to think positively, but you just like infused negative into it. It's not negative. It's just not special. You're not special. You're lucky, but you're not like special.

Which lucky, you can turn and go, okay, I'm like, obviously someone's looking out for me but like i got into a fight about god with carlisle this weekend because she was saying that she was a christian and i was like but you're not a christian you don't believe christ is the lord and savior like do you believe he's gonna come back and like do you believe he was the do you believe christ is lord and she's like no i'm just but i'm christian nikki like i come from like i grew up christian

i'm like but you saying you're christian you can't, but you're not all the things. So we got into a debate and she essentially won because she's like, why are you being mean? And I'm like, yeah, that's a good point. I was like, we have to go to break. But anyway, I was talking about God and stuff. I forget. Anyway, I do believe in God, but I was like, just say you believe in God. She's like, no, I'm a Christian. I was like, no, you're not. But it's not really up to me to tell people how they define themselves. So I have to like,

I had to eat that loss. And then I had to explain to her like, please don't think I'm mad at you because I got into a debate about God. I love debating my friends. It's how I love people. And I don't having like when you and i got into the free will debate i was like yes i feel closer to him after this as opposed to further so i was like carl i've never felt closer to you even though you know i don't believe in what you say you believe

and i don't believe you when you say you believe in it and she was like but i just feel like it's weird now i'm like i promise it's not weird with me, but like, I love you. And then we just started making jokes and I just was, she was talking about, I just was making everything about Jesus for her. So now it's like a funny thing for us for me to mock what she believes in. All right, we're going to break. I'll be back after this.

Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right. So the special, any other special questions? I have a million. I mean, I have questions, but I have things to bring up. Yeah, let's go, Brian. Bring up things, please. I'm like, I don't even.

You're my eyes and ears. It's all a blur for sure. But I mean, it was an amazing experience. I think that spoke. We went to Spokane as for like kind of like the dress rehearsal to this casino. Yeah. Which was pretty good. It was my first time ever performing in a casino.

But from what I'm understanding is that wasn't really a typical casino experience. No, it wasn't. It was more like a rock club theater. Yeah, it felt like a brewery or something. Yeah.

I liked the setup. It's better setup than most casinos, but not ideal for comedy. But not ideal. No. I mean, it was a little cavernous and the bar was in the back and people were more drunk than you would want there was a few hecklers at that show i had to tell somebody to shut the fuck up and they didn't shut the fuck up until

they got kicked out halfway through your set yeah yeah luckily i didn't hear them they they cried out a little bit like i love you and stuff which i just don't ever even know what to do with. I'm just like, thank you. And then I just hope that someone tells them to shut up. But, um, yeah, that was, that was, uh, what were you going to say about that show? Otherwise? Um, I'm just talking about it generally. I don't really have like a specific. Where were you going with this? Oh no, you know what? You noted that there were a lot of busties at that Spokane show. So I opened for you in Brea, and then I did a set before you in Spokane. And every time I opened the show, I asked if there were besties in the audience. And every single time there were.

In Brea, it's interesting because there were fewer besties per capita in Brea than there were in the Spokane show. In the Spokane show, I think it was like 30% of the crowd cheered when I said are there any besties there. Yeah. That means so much. It's like, thank you guys so much for, yeah, being fans of the show and me and us and, yeah,

and coming out and supporting us when it's live and to the people who brought us banana bread in Brea. That was so nice to all every girl that like gets me a friendship bracelet sent backstage or guy. I eventually get those and I forget who does it, but I got some this

weekend. It's just so nice and they're like I got them from people at the meet and greet and then someone had someone give some to me. So I really appreciate all the friendship bracelets and I wear them for about two days two or and greet and then someone had someone give some to me. So I really appreciate all the friendship bracelets and I wear them for about two days, two or three days. And then I go, you're 39. And then I take them off and I put them in my purse and then they eventually break or like I put them on later, but I lose them eventually to the world like umbrellas, but I wear them for as long as I can. And I cherish each and every one so much. And it like makes me so

happy to put them on in the morning but that's what happens with the friendship bracelets because I am 39 and I shouldn't be wearing jewelry like that but who's to say who should be wearing what I think there's lots of people who say it and everyone

would agree but I can't stop wearing sweatsuits all I want to wear is this matching sweatsuit love it even though today my voice teacher told me that he was would agree but i can't stop wearing sweatsuits all i want to wear is this fine that's matching sweatsuit love it even though today my uh voice teacher told me that he was deeply disturbed by my sweatshirt because because he said historically when they're like doing um what is it called shooting shooting people oh no like literally and like kill them. It's a bunch of people. Oh, like a firing squad. Firing squad.

When they're killing someone, they put a heart on their chest where their heart is for a target. Oh my God. I didn't know that. And I was like,

you know what, Michael? For me and how I feel today, that's fitting. I'm like, right here. Aim away. So I was like, actually, this is my depression jumper. It's my jumper. I feel like you could wear that until the day you die.

It's matching. The sweatsuit, I feel like is appropriate for a 78-year-old. Well, I heard, actually, I follow some. It is. It's appropriate. Toddlers look adorable in it. You put together it's matching unless it's like totally bagged out and like stained you look put together yeah when you have two matching elements of the same color and they're not horribly like you know ugly like you know bad fabric and stuff but um so i've been telling

chris like i just want sweatsuits, matching sweatsuits. But I did see some, either stylist or some gay, it was some gay guy, gay black guy who's very stylish and cooler than I'll ever dream of being. And he was like, people ask me what I want for, no,

it wasn't him. It was, it was someone like him though. And they were like, he was like, people ask me what I want and forgive me if everyone finds this and the person's not gay,

but I just got to, I don't think he came out in this sentence like he wasn't like as a gay man but i just assumed so he might not be gay if you trace it to who it is um but he said that his he always tells people when they want to get him a gift just get me a haynes gray sweatpants and matching like the sweatsuit haynes gray he was like because you can't afford the things I want and the things I want, I'll just get myself. But something I always need more of and will never tire of having is a gray Hanes sweatsuit. So I liked hearing that because I'm like, that's a simple thing that everyone can kind of afford and you can look stylish and cool in it.

Yeah, it's good. I mean, it's good to have stuff like that on a list. I do want to say to the woman who brought the banana bread to Brea, I ate an entire loaf of the banana bread in less than 24 hours. Wow. Sitting in the back. I was just partially because it was soft. Was it good for your teeth? Like, was it soft and like it didn't have nuts in it? So there's one that didn't have nuts in it. So that must have felt soothing to bite into.

It was very, I was like a little baby teething. I used your banana bread to soothe my aching teeth. No, I ate it. It was delicious. No, it wasn't for that. I just ate it. It was delicious. I was just starving and I just scarfed it down. There was one night because I don't eat before shows.

I would be so hungry after the shows were over and that banana bread. Why, that came in handy. Why don't you eat before shows? Well, other than the teeth thing for now, I just feel like I'm sluggish after I eat or I get a little bit tired after I eat, no matter what.

Final thought. I remember that's how Andrew used to feel on the road. And I think a lot of people feel that way. And I think if I was more in tune with my body, I'd realize that I also just, because your body is using energy to process it. So you're colder. That's why you get cold after you eat

because your body is suddenly like, we have something to work on. We're not going to heat you up. Like they just like, they, you know. That's what that song is? Yeah. And so,

yeah, when you, you can't like, you're not as cognitively sharp when your body is like, we have something to work on. You're cold and stupid on stage. It's not good. And you're like burping and digesting. It's like, it's not a good look, but sometimes I just can't help myself.

Yeah. And it's nice to have a little treat afterwards. It's nice to be on stage starving and be like, I'm going to be done and I get to eat a free meal. Yes. And I gotta say eat a free meal. Yes. And I got to say, the improv food is good. Delish. It's one of the best comedy club food usually is awful. And improv, good.

Yeah, Bria Improv is a great establishment. But then we went to the improv in LA and it's the same menu. Well, it's a chain. So it's the good food everywhere, no matter what improv. I didn't know this. Oh, okay. I didn't know it was all the same menu. Well, it's a chain. So it's the good food everywhere, no matter what improv. I didn't know this. Oh, okay.

I was thinking that Brea improv. I didn't know it was all the same either. Tempe improv had amazing food too. It's like, yeah, the improvs are sweet. And I did a couple of them to get ready for the special Brea and Tempe. And it was so nice to be back in clubs because it's been a while.

And I just love them. It's nice to be somewhere the whole weekend, one place. Love a club. It's nice to get to know the people that place. Love a club. It's nice to get to know the people that work there and like it's just easier and you get to be in this little like kind of mini mall world

where you're just at your hotel in the club and like you're just it's very enjoyable and I miss it a lot because I just go now in and out very quickly in every place and so it's nice to go back to that lifestyle. Doing Spokane like that was crazy. And so it's nice to go back to that lifestyle. Doing Spokane like that was crazy.

I mean, we flew in to Spokane, did the show, and the next morning at 8 a.m. we were driving to Seattle. Insane. Dude, that's my life, baby. That's insane. Two weekends before that, I was in Toronto on Thursday.

Then I fly to Pittsburgh, an hour drive to Munhall. Then the morning, we drive to Detroit and do a show each night. And then fly home early in the morning the next day. It's like, it's out of control. When I look at your schedule, especially when you're flying and you have to perform the same day, I get a little bit of anxiety because I'm like, well, what if her plane doesn't make it? What if there's a delay? What if just cancel her show?

It's going to be such a pain in the ass. We'll cancel the show and we'll make it up another date. Like it's always like, okay, but that's, that's the nice thing is like everything will be okay. Like if my bag doesn't make it, I'll go on stage and whatever I, you know, wore on the plane and I'll make jokes about it. Like if I can't, if I don't have makeup because it was in the bag, I'll just go on stage without makeup and make a good joke about it. If I, you know, you can, things should happen. So, but yes, it's, that never stresses me out when I, the only thing that stresses me out in my life is when I look and I don't have a lot of sleep coming up. And I'm just like, oh no.

And that's what worries me. But I love sleeping on planes so much. I like it more than my own bed. Wow. Cause there's people that are awake around me and I feel safe. Like things are being taken care of. The din of the plane feels good. I got to say coach, no way. I hate coach now. i've touched first class and i'm one of those people now that i'm like i was flying back and um you know it was like the coach plus of alaskan air and i like was such a little you know paint my mic white because i was like i've texted jen my assistant was like um i am not in for i was like um so i'm doing i was doing did we agree to do coach back to seattle like some passive aggressive fucking bullshit and she's like no you should be

in like a premium i'm like it's the same as every seat 30 seats behind me it was like row 11 and i was just like how am i like was a star yesterday and now i'm like crammed in alaska air and there there's a disabled woman on the aisle. And so I felt bad, you know, getting up to go to the bathroom. So I felt like most people the whole time, how most people feel when they're in a window seat. And they're like, I don't want to disturb anyone.

I'm usually like, fuck everyone. You took the aisle, you gotta get up. But this woman needed assistance getting up. So I was like, I'm locked in for four and a half hours and I cannot pee. And I didn't really prepare to not be able to pee. So I'm kind of like holding in my pee the whole time. It was, but I'm a in for four and a half hours and I cannot pee and I didn't really prepare to not be able to pee. So I'm kind of like holding in my pee the whole time. It was,

but I'm a star, baby. You gotta go to first. Upgrade. I will next time. Like this is, these are lessons we just learned. Like Jen was like, okay,

marked for Alaskan, it's first class or no class because there's no in between and they tricked us. You just got more space for your bag or something. Yeah. Well,

there are some smaller plans that don't even have first class it's just kind of like in the front well yeah Southwest has nothing you're all equal socialist air you know but it's not because you can be in an A-lister and you bet your ass

I'm one but then you go in and you sit with everyone else but you do get to choose your seat first but all the seats are kind of the same yeah actually they're all the same alright that's the show. We have another one to record today, so we're getting two out this week. We'll have two for you next week. Sorry we took last week off. Thank you for

understanding. And I think my mom is going to be here for the next episode. One more shout out to Besties. There was a few Besties who came up to me in Brea and said hello. I was just so touched that people came up to me and saida and said hello. And I was just like so...

I was touched that people came up to me and said hello who listened to the podcast. One of them said, Hey, Bestie. Hey, Bestie. And I felt so cool. I love that so much. Yeah.

It's so nice. Jen sent me a picture of two people with shirts on that said Besties at the second show. I'll send it to you. They're adorable. I'll put it on the Instagram too if I remember. But I have it saved in my phone and I cherish that you were

in my show wearing besties shirts. Everyone that came out to my show. I know like, I like begged some of you to do it. And so like,

you fucking rallied for me. Like it might not have been easy to go to my show, but you made it and it means something to me. And anyone who like makes an effort, whether it's paying money

or, you know, finding someone to go with or like driving a couple hours or driving 40 minutes or even getting a babysitter, like just know that it means so much to me. And the fact that you're even listening to my voice right now means an incredible amount to me and like keeps me going. So thank you so much. And we'll be back with an episode tomorrow.
