Here's Nikki.
Hello, here I am.
Welcome to the show.
It's Nikki Glaser Podcast.
Noah is pregnant.
We've already talked about it on two episodes, but I just
in case people just like missed last
week, we just want to jump in.
Taylor is here. Brian's here. Noah's here.
Not pregnant.
I like how you looked shocked at that
information. Because I didn't know. I almost
said it on the pod a couple times, but I didn't
want to. I almost said it so many times.
I don't know if I was messing up. Noah, have there been any moments where
besties could have gleaned it
from just like little things we said
or that you had to like edit out
or is there anything that did get by
that you're like,
oh, if they figured out,
they figured out.
Besides your huge honker tits.
Well, I can't get by no man.
I don't know.
I think I did see a comment
like a long time ago,
but it's not,
it didn't have to do with this pregnancy.
What size is your baby today?
Based on like the fruit,
it tells you.
No,
I didn't check,
but I think last week it was like an endive or something like that.
Endive.
Okay.
Or an endive.
Can't they use a more common fruit to.
Wait,
you called it endive.
Yeah.
And she calls it an endive. and I call it an endive.
I said it wrong.
No, you said, what do you call it, Brian?
Because it'll be the right thing.
Endive.
Yes, I was right.
It's a leaf vegetable belonging to the genus.
Did you Google this?
Yeah, I mean, I was like, what is an endive exactly?
How did you already look it up?
It's really endive.
I thought I saw endive. I love endives already look it up it's really endive i thought
i saw i love endive and someone said it's on dave but they're probably that's probably with me they
were probably from provence oh it's definitely that's french is how you pronounce it french
yeah god so embarrassing if i ever said that and also correcting you is also very french
okay this week it's actually actually next week it'll be or this week it's a cauliflower
oh my god wait a second no no that's regular baby a cauliflower is this big yeah i want to
be that is as big that's a bait and i don't want you to push a cauliflower through like
that's too big of a bulbous thing it should should be like the size of a baby. But I guess all things aren't size of...
Yeah, and Undeve isn't...
Undeve at least has a length to it, I think.
And even maybe like a summer squash or something,
I would accept as an answer.
But the baby isn't a ball.
What's next week?
It's going to be a pumpkin?
It's a stupid system because fruits are different sizes.
Like, you can say it's the size of an apple,
and then it's like,
well, how many different sizes of apples are there? What kind of apple?
Yeah, what kind of apple?
What's the smallest apple, Brian?
Crab apple.
Crab apple.
Crab apple.
Those are the ones you find in your yard.
Yeah, I have one of those stupid online,
how do you say, on dive or on deep?
Oh, I love these. These YouTube videos that take so long to pronounce it. Let's do you say on dive or on Oh, I love these these YouTube
videos that take so long to pronounce it. Let's
do it. Yeah. Are you able
to hear that? Can you
hear it? No, what did it said and dive
so you're on
D friend is a jackass
who deserves to be sent to
Iraq for that one.
They definitely were in chef school
on deep. I'm trying to think of the words that I've learned that I've said. I will say They definitely were in chef school On deep
I'm trying to think of words that I've learned that I've said
I will say
They basically said to you
No well in French it's on deep
But it's like we're speaking English
Yeah
It's not cool to correct people
I stood corrected at that point
And I'm gonna sit back down and stand
Oh man doesn't it feel so good when you're right
when you've been corrected did you ever see that clip
with Jennifer Garner correcting Conan
it's so good because she goes
um what
will you look it up Brian yeah I'll look up anything
thank you you're the best
it's she's like oh Conan you should know
that you went to Harvard and he goes um
and then they cut to a clip next of like
after the commercial break,
they get a dictionary.
And he's like,
oh,
snook.
Instead of like,
sneaked.
He said,
snook past it.
And she goes,
it's sneaked,
Conan.
You should know that you went to Harvard.
And he goes,
snook,
the past tense of sneak.
And she's just sitting there like,
are you serious?
So embarrassing.
I think,
I think maybe it's the other way around
you got a conan dictionary no she said yes sneaked isn't a word or so it was one of the it was
something with snook or sneak is it jennifer garner yeah it's the word snook what did i say i don't
know it's jennifer garnier garnier jennifer garner who has the the deepest girl of all the celebrities
capital one credit card.
She's so cute.
I really like Jennifer Garner.
I have no shade to throw her way.
But that was a great moment in television history.
Much like, there's so many good Conan moments.
You'll probably know some of them.
I mean, Taylor and I became obsessed
with this Conan.
It was like a five year anniversary special
that he did on. I haven't
memorized. Me too. We watched
that so much. My dad recorded on VHS
and that's how we discovered Conan. My dad was like
this guy seems pretty funny.
But the Norm Macdonald moment
where
this woman is on promoting
her movie with
Carrot Top.
And she's like Courtney Thorne Smith.
Oh, yeah.
And Conan's interviewing her.
And Norm MacDonald's already been the first guest.
So he's further down on the couch.
And he's like, and everyone's seen this.
I don't even need to repeat it.
But it's like, he goes, so you're in this movie with Carrot Top,
title Undetermined.
And Norm goes, oh, I know what it's called.
He goes, do you, Norm? and everybody's already laughing yeah yeah uh is it called a box office poison if it has carrot top it it might be
called box poison and then she goes it's called chairman of the board and conan goes yeah do
something with that you freak and norm just takes a beat and he goes uh is the board spelled b-o-r-e-d and conan
his reaction of like flailing forward and then he hits the deck yeah he hits the desk and then
he jumps up and he like walks around the desk it's like one of the greatest moments of tv ever
god there's so many good norm norm is so snooki when he's doing i i don't think there's any
comedian who has better clips overall than Norm
McDonald. Every clip of his
is incredible.
He is incredible.
It's so funny that he
I remember hearing that he would go to the
Funny Bone in St. Louis and he would
in the last years of his life
would walk the room, meaning
people would leave his show.
I guess they just knew him
from snl and like movies and tv but people would leave who doesn't how does did you ever know i
feel like if you're going to see norm mcdonald he'd like show up unexpected and then they
no i think they would like go to see him then you should know Like who he is and what he's going to do up there
What could he possibly do
He just didn't care
I love when someone doesn't care
I saw some reel yesterday
That was like
Who was it they were talking about
Don't care what your
Don't do anything for your audience
It might have been Lady Gaga
Like someone who's already successful
Because they've obviously catered to an audience
But now they can just say like I don't need to cater to audiences anymore for your audience. It might have been Lady Gaga, like someone who's already successful because they've obviously catered to an audience.
But now they can just say like,
I don't need to cater to audiences anymore.
Don't give the audience
what they want.
Give your,
do what you want to do,
which I think is true
because the audience
does want what you do.
They don't want,
they can think the way
they think already.
They need to see something special.
Yeah,
that works if you're like,
that they can't do.
If you're like an incredibly
talented and narcissistic person special. Yeah, that works if you're like an incredibly talented
and narcissistic person
who has the natural
ability to do something
compelling.
But if you're just a guy trying to make it,
then you kind of have to give people what they want.
Yeah.
You do. I think I always
toe that line of like, I want, want because you the only reason i'm doing
is because i want them to like me and so it's weird to be like i'm gonna do what i want to do
and that's what maybe i'm trying to get myself to like me want your your creative endeavor i think
that like the true creative people just do whatever's in their soul yeah but some of those
people are annoying and no one wants to see that shit.
So you go up there
and you do what you want
and not the audience
and they're like,
we hate this and this sucks.
And I think that's most people.
There's always something for someone.
50 said,
go ahead and switch your style up
and if they hate,
they're going to hate
and watch the money pile up.
Oh, wait a second.
Go ahead and switch your style up and if they're hate, they're going to hate and watch the money pile up. That, wait a second. Go ahead and switch your style up.
And if they're hate, they're going to hate and watch the money pile up.
That's the same concept.
But then it won't pile up because it's hate.
Yeah, well, that's what I thought.
Or Kanye West or something.
Because you're already famous.
You can ride that fame even when you're not doing good stuff a little bit longer.
Jeff Tweedy said, if you feel like singing a song
and you want other people to sing along just sing what you feel don't let anyone say it's wrong
and that's that kind of speaks to that if you're trying to paint a picture and you're not sure
which colors belong just paint what you see and something else that rhymes with that people
saying what they want to sing and then the audience goes i don't know i feel like you
should teach boo sucks yes i don't really want to say i mean that's almost everybody i gotta be
honest though no i don't know i think it is such a talent to be able to tap into what you truly
think and to not follow the judy carter comedy book or whatever we're talking about comedy
and to actually not just copy someone
else be a facsimile like
I'm learning through singing lessons like it
isn't I've talked about it ad nauseum
but just finding your voice
finding what I sound like without trying to sound
like someone else is so hard
it's harder than the hardest Pilates move
it's because it's
it's not even a thing I can see somewhere
where I'm like oh I can get it like it seems to be almost like it doesn't exist but it's it's it's not even a thing i can see somewhere where i'm like oh i can get it
like it's it seems to be almost like it doesn't exist but i know it exists somewhere i just have
to find it and once i find it it will be so freeing because it will be like oh i can just
stay here now i can rest i don't need to try anymore i can just be this but it requires such
skill um and skill meaning letting go and not caring what people think not worrying
about sounding bad not worrying that you don't sound like taylor swift don't worrying that you
don't sound like ariana grande not worrying that you don't sound like whoever you are used because
i'm not writing songs so i can't if i write my own song i could probably sing it like nikki
glazer a little bit better but if i'm singing a song that's already like a rob thomas song there's
a part of me that's like oh like i am gonna mimic it and that is so hard to do so i do think that when i when you said become a teacher
i thought of like the comedians who i think just go back to teaching or just like drop out they are
trying to be someone other than what they are almost all of them are trying to be another
comedian or trying or just their hacks
and and i mean that with love because i've been a hack before too like you i'm a hack when i'm
saying like i'm just trying to sound like what because i don't even it's not because i'm trying
to sound like someone else i don't know how to sound like myself and i think that um that that
is the skill of being an artist is is being unique. My voice teacher and I got into a,
we spent the whole lesson yesterday talking about this,
but, and then it was so weird
because it was echoed
when I went to see Tyler Henry last night with Taylor,
which we'll get into later on the show.
Like growing up, if you are just told,
which I think is a mind boggling thing,
like what makes you weird,
let's say the word weird as in good,
like unique, what makes you weird let's say the word weird as in good like unique
what makes you different from other kids is what you should lean in towards like is what you should
cultivate is what everyone should encourage in you um and i just didn't grow up with that i don't
think anyone before my generation grew up with that and now kids i don't i can't even imagine
what kids are going to be capable of if they feel and i don't think all kids grow up with this there's still i still go to
starbucks in you know the front neck area of st louis and they're all wearing leggings they're
all wearing baggy sweatshirts they're all wearing the same socks they're all wearing the same shoes
like kids are still trying to fit in with each other no one really does like to be weird it's
hard to be weird but if somehow your parents can make you feel really
cool about being weird which by the way taylor you were kind of you've always been unique and
different and never been trying to be like other people was there what how did you not have shame
about being different and like the liking the things you like like taylor would have like
anthropology books on her all the time with like like bug books where she'd be looking at bugs and drawing like your your interests that are you now is the same
you in high school you weren't it didn't seem like you're really trying to fit in I think um I was
thinking this when you're talking about the people at Frontenac too I think there there's a thing
like if you aren't if you don't look like everyone and you're never gonna be like I could not have
been like a pretty girl.
I was like red hair is my thing.
Yeah, and I just didn't have money to like buy nice clothes.
So I had to go to Goodwill.
And then I was like,
well, I'm already shopping at Goodwill.
And so I'm just going to buy these weird clothes
that I like.
Yes.
And so if you,
but if you have the ability to like,
also I was never made to like play sports
or do anything normal in my life.
That's a good point.
So once I didn't have a lot of people around to compare myself to and we were like moving a lot yeah but
i i do think you're right i kind of relate to um you know doing the things if you're able to do
them like you go oh i guess i have to fit in because i can't afford the clothes i can't like
for me no one's gonna take the up like the road less travel that's why I always tell people that like can't get face worked on
or Botox and stuff and they're like I look horrible
I'm like you should be glad
there's a part of me that wishes
and I know this sounds everyone's gonna
roll their eyes at this because I would too but
there's a part of me that like hates that I can afford
that stuff because I can
look a certain way I can look
like Kylie Jenner if I wanted to
and I'm failing if I don't do it but if I just look like Kylie Jenner if I wanted to. The bar will keep moving.
If I don't do it.
But if I just said I didn't have enough money to do it,
but I could really just change the narrative and say,
I don't have the interest in doing that.
Like, let's talk about like, I just don't have,
you could find some way to get there that isn't related to money of like,
I just don't have it in me to do that.
So I'm not going to do it.
I would say thank God that we do hammer the uniqueness
and creativity out of children at a young age
because I think if it's like a Montessori school
or being homeschooled,
it's like if every kid in the world was like that,
it'd be like chaos out there.
Oh, God.
You know, if a kid's like,
oh, we should eat carrots with our feet,
and then you let them do it for their whole lives.
Then you go to Target and they're a freak riding in on a razor scooter.
People are eating carrots with their feet.
Wearing a Rastafarian hat, even though they're white.
And it's like, we don't need more freaks like you in the world.
Be normal.
Yes, we do.
The world would be annoying.
As long as they have humility.
As long as they have humility.
They don't. That's what happens when you go to
a Montessori school. I think there's two separate weirdos.
They become so confident in their horror.
No pride.
We take pride out of it.
Because that's the new thing that I've read about. Pride is
the worst quality you can have. You should be grateful
but no pride. And entitlement
and like, I'm so special.
My mom said I was so special and perfect.
The special thing you do is celebrated perfect I saw a 20 something year old
In a CVS yesterday
Who rode in on a razor scooter
Wearing a Jamaican flag jacket
White kid
And he purchased two boxes of cinnamon toast crunch
With coins
I don't think we need more of that
So it was me.
I don't think that kid
has good parents necessarily.
I don't think, I think that kid
is rebelling about being told
to fit in.
That's the second way.
That's the second way.
I don't receive enough attention.
Or they told him you can do whatever you want to do
and he chose to be
a Razor Sco scooter Rastafarian
Who eats cinnamon toast crunch
And everyone
No I don't think he had parents that
I think this is a rebellion thing but you could be right
I just think that
It would have just been
I wouldn't have believed my parents if they're like
The reason like you wet the bed and that makes you
Special or something you know like that makes you You should lean into that i don't think i would have bought it i would
have been like oh you guys are just like placating me but there is something about um and then tyler
henry last night said the exact same thing he was like about to start his readings and he was
talking about being like kind of a weird kid that was a loner and that obviously he could talk to
like he got spirits talking to him and stuff and he
had to come out to his dad as a medium which is a funny thing because he's also a gay man
and so he's talking about coming out and he kind of you could tell like either he's a really funny
person so i wouldn't question if he wrote his own thing but you could tell it's been punched up
really well so he like sits his dad down and he's like dad i i'm getting these feelings and i i i've
gotten them since i was around 10 or 11 like it was all like stuff that was leading to gay and
the audience is kind of like snickering because he hasn't said he's gay yet but we all know because
he's gay and so then he's like so i had to come out to my dad as a medium and he was like don't
worry i didn't say gay i didn't want to drop two bombs on him at the same time because his dad and
him weren't close but then his dad took him home and was and didn't know what it even meant but his dad i couldn't really follow
it but his dad got out a yearbook and was like look through this yearbook and see what you can
tell me and he was able to to pick out the three people in his dad's class who died tragically
oh wow um and his dad was like didn't know what it was but like believed him and then supported
him after that and i don't know if they had a great relationship but at least he was like didn't know what it was but like believed him and then supported him after that and I don't know if they had a great relationship but at least
he was like I had
parents that
you know didn't
quiet this ghost voice
in my head that was and
look at him now he's been
untreated for his mental illness for like 30
years now
my mom literally sent me
to the psych ward when I said I was ward when i was a kid she did the right
thing do you think you're psychic now what we'll get into this when we get back i this is the first
i'm hearing that my one of my best friends is psychic what the fuck okay not like th not like
tyler henry no he said yesterday he landed in st louis and it was so cold he was like i got off the
plane i was like oh i'm a Ticycle.
And my sister and I and Taylor all were like, wait,
we don't understand this. We like forgot his name was
Tyler. And so I was like, what's a Ticycle?
Was he on a bicycle? Is he just
rhyming Ticycle? He's so
cute. I can't even stand it. Okay, we'll talk about
it when we get back. Taylor already knows
that because she's like...
Jon Stewart
is back in the host chair at The Daily Show, which means he's also back in our See you later. sports and more from John and the team of correspondents and contributors. The podcast also has content you can't get anywhere else,
like extended interviews and a roundup of the weekly headlines.
Listen to The Daily Show, ears edition on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, we're back. Taylor, what do you mean you're psychic and how did you know that as a kid and why are you just you just kept so many secrets for me as a kid you knew that well i
know you're like tapped into other things and you're like i'm sorry but it's very it's very
boring psychic stuff i don't ever see a dead person or know anything that's important.
I'll just know things that are going to happen.
I know I'm going to see somebody.
I knew
that my cat was going to die.
Yeah, because your cat was old.
I know, but I knew that
she was going to die that day.
I would
see stuff like that. If you got a vision
I was going to die, would you call me?
And tell me?
Do you get a vision or do you get a feeling?
What is it? Because Tyler Henry said
the first time he got it, he just says
his grandma died and he
just woke up in the middle of the night
with a sense of
he felt a memory
that hadn't happened yet. That's what it felt like.
However that whatever that means.
Side note, have you guys heard of this thing called aphantasia?
You'd be fascinated by it, Taylor.
Disney princess?
I heard of it.
Like synthasia or something like that.
Yeah, synesthesia where people can see sounds or whatever in colors.
Okay, aphantasia, A-P-H-A-N-T-A-S-I-A
is where people
can't picture things in their mind.
And I think it's
1% of people. So that's people that can't think?
So even last night, Tyler Henry kept saying, I'm seeing this
in my mind's eye. And most people
know what that means. Like, I tell you to picture
a blue
apple and you picture it.
People can't picture an apple, but they just-
How did they find that out?
Because people-
Somebody kept going, I can't picture it until they took them to the doctor.
And then it was actually, I watched a whole YouTube documentary about it.
It was like first documented in like hundreds of years ago of people not being able to see,
picture things in their mind.
And they, it's, go down a wormhole on youtube it's so interesting to see these people be like i just don't i'm not seeing
anything when you say that they just don't see anything i can't really talk about it more than
that because that's all i know but it was just a it's a really fascinating say that's really that's
all i can see i can't even can't see it yeah next question but there are some things you can't well what you
couldn't just whenever you try to describe color to a blind person you go like oh i don't even know
how to describe it there's no way to describe that i think that's what tyler henry pelly suffers with
trying to describe what he's feeling right because he also said that so we went to the show last night
at a you know 2500 seat venue who? And he was telling us all that.
Who went?
What was that?
Oh, it was me, my mom, my dad, my sister, and Taylor.
Five of us.
It was awesome.
I played the factory before, so it was cool to go back to that venue and see it from the audience perspective.
It's a great venue out in Chesterfield, St. Louis.
And we went to dinner beforehand, and then we went out there.
It was a snowy winter's
eve there was a wintry mix and they mix taylor kept saying wintry mix suck my dicks we were
laughing really hard on the way there and we um so he was talking about what was i gonna say about
um when people come through like what's i the, I forgot what it was.
Someone asked like,
do you see it?
Maybe the same thing.
He doesn't see people.
Well, yeah.
So he started off
with like the first part of the show
was just telling like people
who he is,
what his story is,
how he came to be
and all of this stuff.
And it was really good.
And then,
and then he's like,
and then we're going to get
into audience readings.
And as he's finishing up,
oh, I remember what it was.
He said that when he, you know, people always want to know what happens after we die.
He's like, I don't know, but I just know that there's, you know, there's something else, right?
And then it was like, he said he's asked them before, like, what happens when we die, like, or whatever.
And they always kind of laugh at him when he asks that.
He's felt over the years,
the spirits are kind of like,
oh,
you sweet child.
And he said,
it's like,
would be explaining calculus to a squirrel is how spirits look at us to try
to understand what happens next.
They're in different levels.
They can't,
they can't like,
when you die,
you become like a super genius,
a super genius who is then condescending to humanity.
All of them. Yeah. I'm like Sam Harris. to dumb themselves down to be. A super genius who is then condescending to humanity?
All of them?
You become like Sam Harris.
You become ascended into a different level of
intelligence.
I wish you would have been here, Brian, because I would be interested
to think. The whole time I'm like, Taylor, do you think
he's a fraud? Because I'm so
bought in. I'm not ever going to be bought in.
For seven years, I've met so many of these people.
I've interviewed many of these people.
I'm just so hardwired to be
like, oh, you're a con artist.
Because once you dig into any of
these guys, the more information
you learn, the less believable they
become across the board.
Well, dig into Tyler Henry for me.
I would love for you to dig in.
Just a little bit. I don't want to put you to work, me I would love for you to dig in just a little bit I don't want to put you to work but I would love
for you to
enlighten me or enlighten
yourself because I just feel like
I don't I just there was so many
chances for him throughout the night
to prey on people giving
too much information or
he'd go like no that's not it
he's like no
and he's like I'm sorry I keep getting this thing about a hair salon and it. He's like, no. And he's like, I'm sorry.
I keep getting this thing about a hair salon.
And they're like, there's no hair salons.
He's like, well, that's you better go home and like look into it because that's what's going on.
Or there was so many funny moments.
But he was talking about.
Oh, so he's finishing up his his like pretty like pre-written monologue piece.
And he's at the very end of it.
He's like,
I'm going to share two anecdotes with you.
And then I'm going to tell you how they apply to everything that we're
going to get to the readings.
He starts the second anecdote.
And then he's like,
ah,
okay,
wait,
hold on.
Someone's sorry.
Hold on.
Someone's coming through.
They're already starting to come through.
Like they're already like lining up in my brain.
Like they're cut like people's people here tonight.
And he felt like, I mean,
it could have been performative, 100%.
People can act all different things.
It felt real to me.
He was stuttering and couldn't finish what he was saying.
He's not someone that looks like he wants
to be uncomfortable on stage.
He's trying to do a good job. And this was an
awkward moment of like, he looked like
he was having a heart attack or something.
Something bad, like a stroke or something. He he's suddenly like just stopped talking was like okay sorry
oh my god someone's coming through i'm so sorry sorry i'm sorry guys um okay so juliana rancic
would stop it brian brian brian imagine that this is just real for the sake of the it's like someone
who has a bluetooth headset on is tyler hen I was going to say that afterwards.
Yeah. Three pizzas. Cheese. Yes. Thank you.
Okay. What were you saying?
Yeah. Paris a lot.
I will say that the
so we met Tyler after the show
and the guy that I had the contact
with to meet
Tyler I was texting with he shows
up to get us out of the audience after the show
and we're kind of chatting a little bit before Tyler's ready to meet and he's like you know because we were
talking about like is he gonna be exhausted after this he's like he he usually is like free feels
free after these shows because it's all all the spirits are coming through before and it like
really tires him out he's like every time we're on a plane on the way somewhere,
people start coming through.
He starts getting like sick.
He starts like, it just like so much tension.
And then he goes, so after the show,
he's usually going to be pretty,
feel pretty free and like relieved. There's going to be like a immense
like pressure that's off him.
But he said, but we have a show
in Kansas City on Thursday.
And we went to the show on Tuesday
and he said, so it's just going to start
again tomorrow. He was like, we don't usually do
shows back-to-back like this. So if he was a
money grubby
charlatan, he would have his shows back
to back like the way I do it, but he can't
do that because... He's smarter than
that. He's coming up with a thing
to trick us off? He knows that if I just did
these back-to-back-to-back
and I didn't... The whole I'm too tired and weak
is from performing
for three hours on stage,
tricking,
grieving people
into believing that their loved ones
are talking to them.
That's hard work.
But also the producer said
that he would be on the plane
and being like,
oh,
like this woman's wife is going to,
this man's wife is going to come through and it's going to be really hard on
her.
That's him writing.
Blah, blah, blah.
And then the next night it would happen.
I do want to say it is my fervent desire for this guy to be real.
There is nothing in the world I want more than for ghosts to be real and for there to
be an afterlife.
Nothing.
The number one thing I would want in the entire world is for there to be something after death.
So I hope he's
real. I hope he's talking to ghosts.
I hope he's right, but
I tend to believe that
he is
a narcissist probably trying
who just has convinced everybody
that... Oh no.
Taylor knows personality disorders.
I don't think it's a personality disorder. Taylor's a skeptic
as well. I'm a skeptic.
What do you think?
If he's
faking, then he is not
aware. Then it's coming. Something
is coming. It must be subconsciously.
Then he's mentally ill.
He's definitely not putting it on.
Or the mental illness is that
it worked.
He's just getting this positive feedback and he's just like
let me just keep building this thing I'm sure
the first time he did his oh I can hear
ghosts 3000 people didn't line up
to buy tickets to see him but for
no they didn't he was going to be a hospice
nurse so he went to school to be a hospice
nurse and when he was there
he did a reading for his dean because he was getting
some I forget how it happened but he did ended up doing a reading for the dean of the school when he was there he did a reading for his dean because he was getting some I forget how it happened
but he did ended up doing a reading for the dean
of the school and he was so
moved by it that he was like
you should do this professionally and then Tyler dropped
out of school like it's silly and then
he's been doing it since he
was 17 that seems like a kind of weird
age for someone to be like
starting and he started seeing the things
at age 10 and he told his dad and he got his
father's approval.
Maybe his father started talking to him for the first time in any sort of
meaningful capacity.
Brian,
why don't we put your little skepticism bullshit on hold?
And let me just tell you,
okay.
If you watch it,
I think you'll see there's no way he doesn't do um lots of people
do like really vague stuff he's not vague he's like you who's rose and they're like my mom who's
joe my dad okay what he died a year before we saw last night people being like he's like three
thousand people if you yell into a crowd of three thousand people anything no that's not how it went
particularly he would literally go,
it's in this side of the room.
Someone got hit by a car.
This was a very long time ago.
Someone was helping someone by a road
and got hit by a car.
And their name and their birthday
and their birthday is Valentine's Day.
It's a mother.
And someone would go,
my sister's birthday is Valentine's Day.
And you go, no, it's a mother.
It's someone's daughter is here. No, no, no. And then they come up and if And you go, no, it's a mother. It's someone's daughter is here.
No, no, no.
And then they come up.
If it is probability.
No, it would be.
I'm not kidding you.
It would be a section, Brian.
It would be like 200 people.
And then he would come up.
They would come up to the microphone.
And then he would say, okay, who's Rose?
And they'd say, my mom.
Who's Joe?
My dad.
They'd start crying.
Then he'd be like, okay, I'm sorry, your mom.
Yes. Yes, dude dude and who's Joe
my brother Joe is the mom dad and the brother
they all died within and then
why is your family estranged why is
your sister's dead but you didn't talk to her for
years before she died stuff like that like
he didn't ever unless he
had plants and St. Louis and he's
he really yes but these people would not
be good actors i
will say for the saint louis crowd it was insane there was so okay saint louis get your shit
together a little bit okay because i i talked to the guy afterwards who was walking us back to
meet tyler and i go is saint so they have microphones set up throughout this theater
right so um when you when tyler throws out a thing and it fits your description, like I'm talking about a mother whose birthday is February 14th.
My mom died on February 14th.
No,
her birthday,
her birthday.
Okay.
Then finally someone,
by the way,
St.
Louis,
no,
who in your life is dead?
No things about them because I know your own name.
This was one.
One of the ones was like,
what was, there was one of the ones was like,
what was, there was one that was so highly specific.
Oh, oh, this was, this was hilarious.
Okay.
There, there's someone in the crowd who their loved one,
I'm getting there.
He goes, a loved one showed up on the operating table. Like this person was doing their job as a paramedic
or maybe a doctor and their loved one showed up in their er
or in in their in their ambulance and they would go oh my god this is my friend there was some
discovery it's not a person that came upon them on the road it's someone who was their job is is
helping people and it was their friend and it was a brother and it was like he gets so specific
and there would be he would just and then the audience would be like totally silent.
Cause everyone's like,
no,
that's not me.
Right.
And he's like,
it's over in this section.
Maybe it's in the very back.
It's somewhere in the back.
And we would all be looking back there.
Like,
where are you?
Because at this point he has had five in a row that are just spot on.
Like,
he knows the section of the room.
It's specific.
There's always someone whose hand goes up.
And,
and by the way,
they always go up late
but this person took so long like eight and we're all just like waiting it was almost like when the
teacher is like who who cheated i know that someone cheated and you're just waiting like
come on dude just like someone's got to step up just admit you did it these people cannot
how do you go to a show wanting to talk to your dead relatives but you can't remember a story of
which they wait a minute okay so this reminds me of uh when i was like in high school or whatever
we had a sleepover and we did the ouija board and like everyone promises we're not gonna move it
we're not gonna move it yes but then it's like you know somebody moved it so maybe like you all
move it because your hands are like
shaking and then everyone moves into the movement i think that's how that works straight moved it
because you're psychic bitch that's right i'm a psychic sidekick so but st louis we my family
we were getting so frustrated with these grieving people because they would finally be like i think
that's me i'm like five minutes, you just realized that there's a Linda
whose birthday
is Valentine's Day.
There was one woman
whose mother,
he goes,
a mother whose birthday
is February 14th.
It took,
it took till February 14th
for this bitch
to raise her hand.
And I go,
how do you not know that?
But they were so like,
I think it's me.
And then they would take
literally 20 minutes to walk
to the microphone but most of the show was wasted by st louis's not knowing how to get to a microphone
and being like oh go down very obvious where they were there was no rut there was no like urgency
in their walk it's like the seats weren't close together you could easily walk it was insane i
was so embarrassed for st louis i was like is every these people were not
hobbled they were not wearing heels they would they could have just get and they get to the
microphone and he's like now is there a linda and then they're just like um linda um i don't think
so and then they go oh like it would literally be that like they my name's linda they were so
i'm sorry st louis there's like a lead poisoning
problem or something seriously it really made me nervous for our town the woman who said the
operator like you are a doctor and the and your brother shows up on the operating table right
this woman took five minutes to get to the mic and then he's like okay so can you tell me how this fits. And she was like, I had a friend who was a doctor
and someone died.
They were like,
Tyler was like,
oh, so he treated him.
So the guy was dying
and he treated,
no.
Yeah, she was just like,
sit down.
She took 20 minutes
to get the mic
and then he was like,
no, sorry, that's not you.
Sit down.
And was like,
okay, is anyone else?
And he probably sucked that out that this is not going to be an entertaining person to talk to so sit down
no there were tons of not entertaining he went through everyone because they had to pull the
cool thing about him is that if if you get to the mic and it's not you he would go you know what i'm
still going to try to do a reading so then he'd scribble in his notebook and he would give them
something and it was always it was oh it was always, he did not fail
at any point. I think there was one thing where they were
like, I don't know how that applies.
The hair salon thing was the only one.
Have you ever gone to Magic Castle or something like that
and saw a mentalist?
Yeah, I know
Harrison Greenbaum and what he does.
Not Harrison Greenbaum, but there's really good, I don't know if Harrison Greenbaum is good at not Harrison Greenbaum. But there's really good...
I don't know if Harrison Greenbaum's good at being a mentalist.
He used to do mentalist stuff.
But there's mentalists at places like the Magic Castle
who will blow your mind with what they can predict.
And it's all just reading a person and probabilities.
You can just...
But isn't that impressive?
Are you going to read someone's mom's name and dad's name and brother's name.
Yeah, that's a good point, Noah.
Isn't that impressive, though?
Because mentalists, I know they're not actually reading my mind.
It seems like a skill.
And I'm just like, oh, that's impressive that they learned the probability that I would say that color or that celebrity.
The mentalist, you go in knowing that it's a magic trick.
And then you go into Tyler Henry and you leave going Oh my god my dead uncle actually didn't molest me
And it's like
I hope that makes you feel better
But now you have this false belief
That being said
People have false beliefs all the fucking time
Who gives a shit
I'll drop my cynicism
Because I would like to be a little happier
You're not talking about Catholic church every week
We could do a podcast
every week about a different church service
where people are having this with no proof.
How much money is this guy making off of this?
I'll believe it. If it
makes you happy, if you left the performance
happier and more
enchanted with the world,
then I don't see who's
harming. I was just impressed. What did EJ think?
Who's getting harmed? I wasn't enchanted.
Dad, I think dad got a little bored
because he didn't understand what he's in for.
And it is tedious.
I mean, like you're-
Because of St. Louis.
Yeah, because St. Louis slowed it down.
And so it was just so, it was hard to just,
because Tyler has nothing to say
while you're walking to the mic.
And he's just kind of like trying to talk to us and say different stuff.
But he's kind of just, you know, he's tapping into something.
So he's working while those people are walking to the mic.
So there's just like dead silence in a room of 3,000 people
while someone's taking the Oregon Trail to get the fucking microphone.
I was dying for someone I knew to come through
just because I wanted to speed things up.
I just wanted to be clever.
It would be quicker if one of the audience members just died and then talked to him through his head.
Well, he said that because we were joking on the way there because it was a wintry mix.
I was like, what if the car flips and we all die and we all come through on the show, but there's no one there who loves us, so we can't get through.
And he's like, there's a family of five and someone in the box office is like,
well,
there's five tickets on hold.
Maybe it's for me.
But he did say that one time he was at a reading and he said
someone was dead and they had died that day.
And the person didn't know yet.
Oh,
wow.
Something like that actually happened to me.
Explain that.
Brian.
Oh,
wow.
What a condescending.
You sound like one of the spirits.
Well, something like that did actually happen to me.
Brian, I don't disagree.
One day, it was when I was in my early 20s,
I had a dream that this guy, Leo Lancey,
who I went to high school with,
came to me in the dream.
And I was exiting my high school,
and he was outside.
And he was like, hey, Brian.
And I kind of snubbed him.
I was like, oh, hey, what's up?
And I walked away because I was carrying a box or something and then um three days later i learned
that leo lancey had died three days earlier he yeah he froze to death in the woods of west
that's why you're a skeptic oh my god God, he froze to death. He was kind of like a drifter.
He was probably on drugs and he got on
a train car and rode it
and probably just got out and lost
in the woods.
Freezing to death.
It sounds good. I've talked about this before
but when you're hypothermic or whatever
I forgot what it's called.
Hypoxia. When you have hypoxia
you strip off all your clothes because you get really
hot right before. So they oftentimes find
people who die of hypothermia
totally stripped naked
in the snow. Because they feel like they're
burning. Yeah, they feel like they're...
And then they gently go to sleep.
It's a gentle sleep.
I saw
just a thing from...
When I was at the
Emmys they were just showing some clip
from a movie like some documentary
it was just a clip you know like when they're
saying the nominees and it's this old
man on his deathbed and there's this woman that's like
are you ready to go Papa it's probably about end of life
stuff and he was like
I'm ready to go on to the next
adventure and I was like
that gave me so much hope I love looking at life that way of like it's just on to the next adventure. And I was like, that gave me so much hope.
I love looking at life that way.
It's just on to the next one.
I hope that's true.
I would love to believe something like that.
I hope that's true.
I would love to be as delusional
and ignorant
as that man
on my deathbed where I actually
believe that there's a next adventure
after you die.
It's a positive mental attitude, dude.
I kind of hate adventures.
I feel like I'd be like, oh God,
I have to go to REI and get here.
I don't want to do this.
I have to hike? I don't think so.
Why is God an outdoorsman?
God loves all his
creations and that includes the steep hike.
I believe in a God.
I believe in energies.
I just hope that your own consciousness is carrying on is the thing I just have not been convinced of yet.
And I hope to God that that's something that happens.
Otherwise, you are your brain.
You are your consciousness.
And if that ceases to exist, then you are your brain. You are your consciousness.
And if that ceases to exist, then you cease to exist and will never return again.
It's like a dead computer.
Yeah. The only thing I can think of is if you go into the multiverse or the fact that time is just a construct, that there's a possibility that time is just a construct of your brain, which is what's interpreting all of the data that's being input into your brain.
And therefore, you are always alive
and always dead simultaneously.
Your brain is just the one interpreting this
as time passing.
So that's the one thing that's kept me like,
maybe there's a little inkling of hope.
But you don't believe Tyler Henry,
but you believe that?
Yeah, at least mine has some psych logic behind it.
Tyler's just a man
He's a little tycicle
He's yelling out, who's named Rose in a crowd of 3,000 people
And after 15 minutes
Someone says, my bus driver's named Rose
Okay, come on down
He says, how did this person
I will say that everyone in St. Louis has
Died of COPD
Heart disease
And cancer
He looks up the statistics.
Fluid on the lungs.
But it's like, but I also,
my dad was like, oh yeah, so you just,
everyone has lung disease.
It's like, that's what you die of. And it's like, but it is
though. So like, is he supposed to only have interesting
deaths? Like, is that make
him a hack just because he's saying
they died of cancer or a heart attack?
Like, that is
generally how most people go but like so do those people not get to come through if let's say it's
true you know so i was just like yeah i mean it's not always going to be getting hit by a car or
some like interesting thing there was a girl that was like her sister was murdered that was pretty
interesting he doesn't say murder he says their life was taken from them yeah and i didn't
understand what that meant at first like isn'm like, isn't that what everyone
happens? Because I thought that could be murder or it could be
God taking your life.
Or it could be like
someone pulls the plug.
That's murder. That's the first time I was like,
that was a little vague. Oh, you mean pull the plug
in a humane way of like, let's take her off life support.
Oh yeah, no, that bitch is
she was filming the whole time too. She's like crying
and she's like holding up her camera
and looking at herself on the camera
and looking at the camera as she's crying
she was murdered
in the state of Texas
oh it was like a weird story because he was like
there's no justice there hasn't been justice
and she's like there hasn't been it was so crazy
because she's like
my sister was murdered but
in Texas the law is they don't get the death penalty unless they've murdered more than one person.
And also they have to rape the person.
And my sister wasn't raped and that he probably did murder other people, but we can't prove it.
And Tyler was like, you're never going to get that justice.
His justice will be served in the afterlife.
I'll try with him later.
Don't worry.
Ty's going to get you.
Ty's going to get you. Ty's going to get you.
I believe it.
I loved it.
That guy who murdered this person's sister when he dies,
is he going to get to talk to Tyler Henry and be like,
hey, can you tell my sister-in-law that I actually loved her ice cream?
Wait, the murder guy will come through?
Does he ever talk to a bad person?
Or is every single person he talked to just like,
I want to tell my cousin that I love them? Or
what if a bad person wants to talk to him
and is like, I want to tell that bitch wife
that I... Well, what he says is that people aren't defined.
No, I think
he says that he, a lot of times,
the ghosts are pushy and he has to have good
boundaries with them and be like, no, we're done.
He does say that sometimes
they're like, he's like, I have to practice my boundaries with the physical realm like no we're done he does say that sometimes they're like he's like I have to practice
I've practiced my boundaries with the physical realm
of like humans in my life
and spirits and we
all laughed because don't we all need to
practice our boundaries
loved it all right we're gonna take a
break we'll be back after this
do a
bricycle
John Stewart is back in the host chair at the daily show which means he's also back in our ears Go Bricicle. on entertainment, politics, sports, and more from John and the team of correspondents and contributors.
The podcast also has content you can't get anywhere else,
like extended interviews and a roundup of the weekly headlines.
Listen to The Daily Show, ears edition,
on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, so, yes, we went to Tyler Henry last night.
It was fun.
It was nice to have Taylor along with our family.
Is it fun for you to go to, like, do you feel so at ease with my family?
Because I'm always like that.
If I was just with another family, I'd be like, this kind of sucks.
Like, I can't really be myself.
But, like, my family's pretty chill.
They're so chill.
When I got home, I was like, that was, I just felt like i was with my family yes yes that's totally i've gone
hiking with your parents a good point it felt like childhood i know that's insane i've never
gone hiking with my parents no one's gone hiking yeah it was it's great yeah they're pretty easy
your dad is full of of information and your mom is just like so funny to talk to yes my dad is so full of information
he has an anecdote show marks jokes yes oh he was so mad last night because we got preferred parking
at the at the the venue which was really nice it was like you know it's nice to get that little
perk because i'm nikki jean i've been there before and chris got us tickets so he threw
his radio station he got tickets and preferred parking for me.
It was so nice.
And then, so we get free tickets.
My dad doesn't even want to go to this, I don't think.
But he's, oh, I'll go.
No, I'll go.
I'll go.
I'll go.
So then he goes.
And then we're leaving.
And we're stuck in the parking lot.
It's going to be maybe 10 minutes.
It's not like, it's a 2,000 seat venue.
It's not going to be insane. We're going to be maybe 10 minutes. It's not like, it's a 2,000 seat venue. It's not going to be insane.
We're going to be in traffic all night long or
anything. It's like, I can get,
I've been around long enough and certainly my dad has
that we know this traffic is no more than 10
minutes in the parking lot waiting to get out.
But my dad goes, preferred parking
on the S.
They don't even have anyone for, and I go, what was
that? And he's like, I'm just saying, if you're going to get
preferred parking, you should be able to get out. And I and i go oh is is like they're a thing where if
you complain enough because he kept doing it i kept going like yeah dad well i guess i won't do
preferred parking next time we'll park on the edge and that'll be and he's like i'm just saying i and
then we we change subjects and he gets back to it and i go is there a thing i oh it's cool that
there's a thing where if you complain enough, your car grows wings and you can fly.
I didn't know that that was a thing.
Because what is the fucking point of complaining so much?
To keep saying it.
To keep saying it.
To keep making me feel bad.
Because that's the dad way.
Based on your impression.
I find myself being that way and I can't stand it.
It feels like it was really bothering him and eating at him that he was given
this preferred parking
and it didn't pan out to what he
imagined and that kind of like ate at him or something.
Yeah.
Well, yes, he blamed the
preferred parking. So the good thing
turns into the bad thing so often.
Like, you know, we will
get free. It'll be so cool. I'll take my
parents out to dinner and we'll get something free or something.
And my dad will be like, it doesn't even have syrup on it.
They didn't even put syrup
on the baklava. And I go, but it's free.
Is he getting any joy out of that?
We got all these tickets.
Undercutting it a little bit?
Yes, because it's the thing of
you get to blame something else for your situation.
You get to... Complaining
is my dad's
favorite thing like it's
and I find and the only reason I'm annoyed by it dad
if you're listening is because I find myself doing
it so often I'm
like turning into my dad where
I can't not
complain about something like
there we went to dinner
when we were on a ski trip a couple weeks ago
and my boyfriend's brother
uh was so like cool and made these reservations at the ritz and it was like a really expensive
dinner where a side of asparagus is like 26 i mean it was insane but our table had a giant
spotlight under it was like this really dark cool like cabiny type restaurant and our table just had
this giant harsh lighting like i kept
doing like interrogations where i was like tell us where you buried her because it looked exactly
like that and um and i just couldn't stop complaining about it i couldn't because i'm just
because the this makes more sense to complain about because it's fixable we literally couldn't
get out of the parking there was no way to change the
traffic situation.
He is offering solutions. He believes that
they could fix the entire institution
of preferred parking by having a
dedicated traffic
officer. But I don't work
for the factory. There's no
way I can get that. We can't
pass this legislation there in the car.
But at a certain point, it does get get funny when you're doing the interrogations.
That's funny.
Now it's a bit.
So it's,
it's bringing.
Yeah.
Well,
that was funny because the waitress came over and,
um,
current was like,
I'm current took turn,
did what I needed them to do,
which is like,
and both Chris and current were like,
do you want to move?
And I go,
no,
it's fine.
Even though I was like,
yes,
but I didn't want,
I just don't see another table where we can go to and i understand that waitresses sections
are like it's people always go well why can't i just sit over there it's like because this
waitress has a section and this is just how they do it and now she's gonna lose out on a table
if you don't stay in this section so i don't want to fuck over the waitress so i was just kind of
trying to make fun of it in a way that made it fun or something but i was still complaining
and then curran was like,
we're fixing this.
So we got up and he's charming and went and talked to the waitress.
And she came back and was like,
is this not good?
And I was like,
it just feels like I'm like,
tell us where she is.
You know,
like,
and I did an impression.
She didn't care for it.
She was like,
definitely a Russian immigrant who did not speak the,
the language of American comedy.
My dad didn't tell me where the body was buried either.
She's been dealing with that her whole life from the Russian gulag.
And she's like, what did you have?
Just brought her back.
What body?
But then we changed tables because I complained enough.
But I do find myself, I really am trying to keep it in check
because it's becoming apparent to me that I am just always dissatisfied and nothing's ever good enough.
And I'm always I don't like being a complainer because I just see how pointless it is.
And it's just it be I just I but I do get annoyed when a restaurant that is otherwise has a perfect ambience either has a vent blowing on you or has really loud music or has a weird spotlight right on your table.
Or if you're getting a facial and there is a huge overhead light that the woman won't turn off.
I won't stop.
I can't be a person that's just like, this is just the way it is and I'm going to enjoy it.
I can't deal with it.
If there's a woman next to me who is listening to her phone on speaker, I won't calm down.
I can't deal with it.
Because I might be complaining because there is this moment before.
I'm too scared to do something about it.
Right.
But I'm in this uncanny valley where I'm like, if I complain enough, maybe I'll work up the courage to do something.
You're mad at yourself for not being assertive.
Yeah, but I really don't want to be a complainer anymore.
I have a restaurant dilemma I want to throw your way.
I want you to give me the answer. Please.
I went to Texas last
year to go to a football game and then after the football
game, just that context, there's
a lot of people around. We went to a
restaurant. We had a reservation there.
Very busy. There was a
table of, I don't know, 12 people
and we ordered our food. We ordered a lot of food I don't know, 12 people. And we ordered
our food. We ordered a lot of
food. We ordered appetizers.
Oh, that's so many people. That stresses me out already.
Going to a restaurant with 12 people.
It was a very long table.
Imagine like a
medieval table.
Yeah, Last Supper table. So there was my end of the table
and there was the other end of the table.
And the other end of the table, I don't know what's going on over there.
They're talking about something.
We get our appetizers pretty fast,
but then between the appetizers and the entrees and the appetizers,
not everybody got appetizers.
So like some of us were eating between the appetizers and the entrees,
there was about 45 minutes that passed. The waiter came out
one time to be like, don't worry, it's coming
soon. I didn't
know this. On my end of the table,
we're just chatting. We're enjoying each other's
company. We're having a good time. On the
other end of the table, there is
quiet murmurs
of revolution happening. They were
so upset that
the food's not coming.
And after about 45 minutes,
one of the people
at the other side of the table
without pulling my side of the table
went to the waitress and said,
we'd like to cancel our order.
We don't want the entrees.
We just want to leave.
What?
So then on behalf of both sides, they canceled the order. We don't want the entrees. We just want to leave. So then on behalf of
both sides, they canceled
the order. The waiter was so
flustered and was like, oh, okay.
They probably already made it.
What an asshole.
Then we had to all together as a unit
get up and leave the restaurant without
eating our entrees.
What?
That's so weird. Who is
this person and how are you connected to them
and how can you never ever talk to them
again the rest of your life? Because this is an
entitled motherfucker. There was four or five of them. They were discussing
this. They were all in agreement that this
is taking too long. Well, what?
When you get outside the restaurant, did you go
what the fuck was that, you guys? I still want
my food. Why didn't you just stay
and eat your food and pay for your food?
Right, well, from my side of the table, I was slightly embarrassed.
I was also perfectly fine just sitting there and waiting.
And I understood that.
But they were taking an extremely long time.
And it was one of those situations where you could, it was like an open kitchen.
You can see the kitchen.
You can see what they're working on.
And then they put the plates out on a counter.
And so you can see what's up next.
And we had been waiting for
almost an hour and our food wasn't even
being prepared.
So they knew that like this is
not happening and
but how can they not pass a
note down to you guys?
I was like well we should have been consulted in this
decision. This was a table decision.
Yeah. Is this a person like
do you don't like this person right? Who faced this uprising? person? You don't like this person, right?
I love all these people.
There's no way you like this person.
I've been friends with all these people.
Did you not go, what the fuck was that?
There's a couple of people that annoy me frequently.
Were you not comfortable enough with them?
It was shocking, quite frankly.
I was like, what?
What, we're leaving?
I would be irate.
I would have stayed just to prove a point.
Because where did you go?
Nowhere. I went back to the hotel.
I had a separate hotel that night
and I just ate a complete
cookie and went to bed
hungry.
But I also had my appetizer. Honestly,
it saved us a lot of money because after eating my appetizer
I was like, I don't think I need the entree.
Got it.
That side of the table
didn't even get... Some of them didn't get
appetizers, so they were just sitting there for
over an hour with no food.
I don't like these people. I think it's
so rude. What do you think, Taylor?
Yeah, they should have consulted you for sure. I get
it that you want to get in there before they cook
your food because that's smart.
If they had already started cooking it, I'd be more mad at them.
Here's the thing.
When you go to a restaurant, take note of how many people,
how many different tables are sitting down with menus in front of them.
That means all of those people are going to get their orders in before you.
If it's more than three tables, the restaurant's going to be slammed.
You are going to wait an hour for your food.
That is just the way it is folks so when i go to a restaurant i always look around right away
to see how many people haven't ordered yet where everyone is in their meal how slammed the the the
the kitchen's gonna be and i often if you ever dine with me you'll know that i go guys figure
out what you want to eat like almost before almost before, let's do the drink order
and food order right away. Because we
gotta beat that table that was set at the same time as us.
And also you appetize accordingly.
If you know it's gonna take a while, then you make sure
to get an appetizer. And why does everyone need appetizers?
Just get your appetizers with your food. Doesn't everyone like to
eat everything together? Why do we have to do
stages of food? Because if you know it's gonna take
an hour, then you want some olives
or nuts. No. No, because
they'll bring it when it's ready. I like everything together. I'm with you
on that boat. I do.
I don't understand this.
But I'm a fast person.
If I'm having dinner with Nikki, I want to
get my appetizer immediately.
And then I want Nikki to get her food all at once
because I eat maybe
one-tenth as quickly
as Nikki does. So I need to have the time to catch up.
Ryan eats so slow,
I don't even know how he has any meat on his bones.
That's why your friends try to leave without you in mutiny.
My brother-in-law has learned how to eat fast
from dining with the Glazer so often
because he used to be left in the fucking dust.
We would be having after-dinner coffee
as he was taking his second bite.
And so he has learned now to like shovel it down.
Yeah.
I don't know what it is,
but we just all eat fast.
The last time I was at a diner with you in LA,
I had to say,
by the way,
I know it looks like I'm not close to being finished with these pancakes or
whatever,
but I'm done.
I'm just picking at it and we can leave whenever you want.
Because you guys are already like done for five minutes.
And I had like, it looked like they had just brought out my plate.
Yeah, but were you really done?
Or were you just saying that?
I was really done.
Yeah.
Okay.
I trusted you.
I don't think you're a liar.
Okay.
We have to go.
We'll have the podcast tomorrow.
Can't wait for it.
