Listen to The Daily Show Ears Edition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Here's Nikki. Hello, here I am. Welcome to the show. It's Nikki Glaser Podcast.
Starting point is 00:00:41 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
Starting point is 00:00:57 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,
Starting point is 00:01:11 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,
Starting point is 00:01:24 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.
Starting point is 00:01:37 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.
Starting point is 00:01:49 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?
Starting point is 00:02:03 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
Starting point is 00:02:40 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?
Starting point is 00:02:58 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.
Starting point is 00:03:14 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
Starting point is 00:03:31 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
Starting point is 00:03:47 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
Starting point is 00:04:03 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
Starting point is 00:04:19 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,
Starting point is 00:04:30 sneaked. He said, snook past it. And she goes, it's sneaked, Conan. You should know that you went to Harvard. And he goes,
Starting point is 00:04:36 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
Starting point is 00:04:49 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.
Starting point is 00:05:17 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
Starting point is 00:05:34 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.
Starting point is 00:05:49 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.
Starting point is 00:06:06 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
Starting point is 00:06:48 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.
Starting point is 00:07:04 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
Starting point is 00:07:34 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.
Starting point is 00:07:46 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
Starting point is 00:07:53 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.
Starting point is 00:08:03 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.
Starting point is 00:08:20 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
Starting point is 00:08:47 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
Starting point is 00:08:58 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.
Starting point is 00:09:12 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
Starting point is 00:09:40 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
Starting point is 00:10:11 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
Starting point is 00:10:30 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
Starting point is 00:11:10 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,
Starting point is 00:11:48 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,
Starting point is 00:12:04 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
Starting point is 00:12:40 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
Starting point is 00:13:23 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.
Starting point is 00:13:35 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
Starting point is 00:13:56 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
Starting point is 00:14:18 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.
Starting point is 00:14:35 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,
Starting point is 00:14:54 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.
Starting point is 00:15:11 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
Starting point is 00:15:26 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.
Starting point is 00:15:41 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
Starting point is 00:16:01 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.
Starting point is 00:16:17 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
Starting point is 00:16:32 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
Starting point is 00:16:57 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
Starting point is 00:17:34 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
Starting point is 00:18:07 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
Starting point is 00:18:24 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?
Starting point is 00:18:51 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.
Starting point is 00:19:32 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
Starting point is 00:20:11 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?
Starting point is 00:20:27 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.
Starting point is 00:20:44 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
Starting point is 00:21:06 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
Starting point is 00:21:21 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.
Starting point is 00:21:48 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.
Starting point is 00:22:26 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.
Starting point is 00:22:44 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.
Starting point is 00:23:09 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.
Starting point is 00:23:18 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.
Starting point is 00:23:30 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,
Starting point is 00:23:48 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,
Starting point is 00:24:02 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
Starting point is 00:24:20 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
Starting point is 00:24:36 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
Starting point is 00:24:52 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.
Starting point is 00:25:06 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.
Starting point is 00:25:26 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.
Starting point is 00:25:34 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%.
Starting point is 00:25:47 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.
Starting point is 00:26:03 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
Starting point is 00:26:34 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
Starting point is 00:27:00 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.
Starting point is 00:27:19 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
Starting point is 00:27:34 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,
Starting point is 00:27:50 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,
Starting point is 00:28:00 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.
Starting point is 00:28:14 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
Starting point is 00:28:34 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?
Starting point is 00:28:50 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.
Starting point is 00:29:06 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
Starting point is 00:29:22 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
Starting point is 00:29:38 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,
Starting point is 00:29:56 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
Starting point is 00:30:23 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.
Starting point is 00:30:38 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.
Starting point is 00:30:48 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.
Starting point is 00:30:58 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
Starting point is 00:31:14 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
Starting point is 00:31:34 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,
Starting point is 00:31:52 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,
Starting point is 00:32:04 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
Starting point is 00:32:25 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.
Starting point is 00:32:46 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.
Starting point is 00:32:58 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
Starting point is 00:33:10 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
Starting point is 00:33:50 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,
Starting point is 00:34:10 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?
Starting point is 00:34:20 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
Starting point is 00:34:45 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.
Starting point is 00:35:30 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.
Starting point is 00:35:39 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
Starting point is 00:35:48 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
Starting point is 00:36:16 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.
Starting point is 00:36:36 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.
Starting point is 00:36:52 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
Starting point is 00:37:16 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?
Starting point is 00:37:32 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
Starting point is 00:37:48 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.
Starting point is 00:38:02 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.
Starting point is 00:38:26 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
Starting point is 00:38:51 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,
Starting point is 00:38:59 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,
Starting point is 00:39:16 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
Starting point is 00:39:40 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
Starting point is 00:40:00 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...
Starting point is 00:40:15 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
Starting point is 00:40:31 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.
Starting point is 00:40:47 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
Starting point is 00:41:03 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.
Starting point is 00:41:20 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.
Starting point is 00:41:43 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
Starting point is 00:42:11 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
Starting point is 00:42:26 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
Starting point is 00:42:42 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
Starting point is 00:42:58 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
Starting point is 00:43:22 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.
Starting point is 00:43:40 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
Starting point is 00:43:55 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.
Starting point is 00:44:15 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,
Starting point is 00:44:28 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
Starting point is 00:44:52 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
Starting point is 00:45:08 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
Starting point is 00:45:22 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.
Starting point is 00:46:08 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
Starting point is 00:46:30 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.
Starting point is 00:47:08 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.
Starting point is 00:47:19 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
Starting point is 00:47:34 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
Starting point is 00:47:56 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.
Starting point is 00:48:18 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
Starting point is 00:48:35 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.
Starting point is 00:48:52 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
Starting point is 00:49:08 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
Starting point is 00:49:23 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
Starting point is 00:50:02 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
Starting point is 00:50:19 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.
Starting point is 00:50:31 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,
Starting point is 00:50:40 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
Starting point is 00:50:48 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,
Starting point is 00:51:11 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.
Starting point is 00:51:17 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?
Starting point is 00:51:34 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.
Starting point is 00:52:18 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.
Starting point is 00:52:42 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.
Starting point is 00:53:00 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.
Starting point is 00:53:15 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,
Starting point is 00:53:35 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
Starting point is 00:53:56 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
Starting point is 00:54:12 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
Starting point is 00:54:28 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?
Starting point is 00:54:43 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
Starting point is 00:54:59 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.
Starting point is 00:55:17 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
Starting point is 00:55:31 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.
Starting point is 00:55:47 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?
Starting point is 00:56:01 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.
Starting point is 00:56:18 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.
Starting point is 00:56:36 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,
Starting point is 00:56:53 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
Starting point is 00:57:25 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
Starting point is 00:57:41 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.
Starting point is 00:57:57 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
Starting point is 00:58:16 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.
Starting point is 00:58:28 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.
Starting point is 00:58:44 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.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Okay. We have to go. We'll have the podcast tomorrow. Can't wait for it. We're actually recording it right after this. So just be honest with you. So we'll see you tomorrow on the show. Come see us in Florida this weekend, 19th and 20th in Fort Pierce and Daytona Beach.
