Too much to my chagrin.
Just kidding.
Yeah, it's a pretty long... And I'm also going to see Taylor Swift there.
Oh, eras.
Yeah.
Yes, I'm going to see eras,
possibly in Melbourne and Sydney.
How long is eras?
It has been.
How long is the show? I'm so glad you asked. How long is Eros? That has been. How long is the show?
I'm so glad you asked.
How long is
Oh shit.
How long is this shit going on?
Till next November.
So it's like a two year tour
called Eros.
A year and a half
a year and maybe some more.
Did you see
the big Easter egg
in her
Golden Globes outfit?
Do you know what it was?
She wore like a snake ring
or something?
Mm-mm.
It was her nails.
What?
Oh, her nails.
She never gets her nails done.
It means that she's
taking a break.
Yeah, she does have long nails.
Oh,
is that what it means?
Yeah, because she can't play guitar
with long nails on both hands.
And she had both her nails done.
That's true, but you can just
have your fake nails
for a little bit.
They're probably not even fake.
She's just so extraordinary.
Yeah, maybe she got just nails for the Golden Globes.
She was wearing them last night at the studio,
at Electric Lady's studio where she goes to record,
so we just think she was doing vocals last night.
But yes, she does have long nails, and every Swiftie is freaking out.
We've never seen our girl with long nails before,
but they're beautiful.
They're like yours, Taylor.
I noticed she was going like this a lot, like you do when you get a haircut.
When you get your nails done, you constantly tap on things.
You can't stop.
You're just like such a woman.
Remember at Anya's wedding, she kept like tap on your face when she's talking to you.
And she's like staring at him.
Yes, it is.
It does become.
It's so nice when you have long nails.
But how do you keep them nice?
Are you not rummaging in things?
Or do you probably just have strong nails? No, mine are so thin. But how do you keep them nice? Are you not rummaging in things? Or do you probably just have strong nails?
No, mine are so thin, but I put dip gel on them.
Oh, to strengthen them.
Yeah, tobacco.
Yeah.
Brian's like, okay, take note.
Noah, you're a nail girl too, right?
You like having nice nails?
I love having nice nails, but I don't but i don't uh i don't keep up
with them because i don't like the way they feel after i peel the gel off oh just very
it's horrible they're so naked and like vulnerable i hate it it takes a layer of your yeah I don't like it at all I haven't done gel for years but what do you do?
I don't like going to the nail salon
it is boring
I hate it
why does anyone
why do we do that?
wait so you don't get gel?
because you need to have nice nails
to look pretty
no I don't do gel
I just do regular
you let it dry
you have the patience to let it dry
well you put it under that machine
dude it's so hard
but I just set my
like 10 to 15 minutes
scroll on my phone
and then I go home and I get this just happened for the Emmys got my nails done I just set like 10 to 15 minutes, scroll on my phone,
and then I go home and I get in the,
this just happened for the Emmys.
Got my nails done,
went home,
got in the shower,
it heated it back up,
and they,
I was,
you know how sometimes you get a little, like a little ripple in it,
and you can just smooth it out
by like touching it with your finger?
It scooped off the entire nail color.
The entire thing,
because whatever they put on as a top coat
or a bottom coat
made it just slick so it was like the like tectonic plates just yes yes um st louis reference
yeah and so it i was just cursing it out because i'm like i just paid 40 for my nails and they're
already fucked and i had to have carlisle i had to ask her if she could go to cvs and match my
nail color.
So this is the nail
that came off
and it doesn't match the others.
And they're all Ripley.
They all look
like they've been through an earthquake.
You just didn't point on them
with that one.
Yeah, I does.
You look like,
this is what I do
if I break the nail.
I kept this on the red carpet.
I was like,
gonna just put my finger in my mouth
like, sexy baby.
Allie just got a new nail polish
and she was saying
how great it was because it's like
a special new nail polish that lasts a
week it's like impervious to ripples
I think I know what this is
I don't know what it is
I don't believe in it no it's so good
I got my nails done with it one time
and I was obsessed with it but they're like
$25 a piece maybe even more I think
they're $30 a piece per nail
yeah yeah nail polish that $25 a piece. Maybe even more. I think they're $30 a piece. Per nail. Yeah, yeah.
Nail polish that lasts.
It'll come up right away, I bet.
Really?
Everyone's talking about it.
It's the big new thing in nail technology.
I bet you.
If I say the name, will you know it?
Will it?
No, I didn't.
I stopped listening.
Oh, she didn't even.
You're surprised you know this much.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's some really good nail stuff god i'll find
out what it is um brian do some research even though you have no information good nail thing
go to the bathroom and see what pretty nail or something oh yeah go snooping your lady's stuff
go to her separate bathroom does she have a separate bathroom or is it just bedrooms
yeah there's two bathrooms uh so I guess technically it's separate.
I'll go snoop right now. We'll see what I can dig up.
Are you really going to?
I'll go snoop. Let's see.
Or text her and see what that name of that thing is
because I think I know what it is
and I can't think of the name. It's not Googling.
There was this one salon I went to.
Can you bring the camera and show us?
What? She's not on her phone at work?
Who's not on their phone at work who's not on their phone at work okay he's going to he's going to investigate i wanted him to bring the camera
and show us so um brian does separate bedrooms oh everyone doing separate bedrooms i always
judged it you know yes anya was going to do separate bedrooms because she got sick and then
was sleeping in the guest room.
And she was on the girls chat sharing about how it was so nice having her own space and just having a separate bedroom.
And she was like, I'm thinking about talking to Matt about doing separate bedrooms.
I was inspired by that because.
Oh, I thought they did do it.
No, she was sick.
So she got in my head about like, this is what this is a good plan. So I said something to Chris about it because I just want Chris to be able to have his own
room and his own space.
And like, I want my own room.
He wakes up really early, right?
For radio and stuff.
Yes, he does.
He wakes up so early and he feels guilty.
I don't really care that he gets up early.
I can wake up and just be like, ha ha, you have to go to work.
Like, I kind of like when he wakes up early and I, there's nothing better than waking
up and knowing that you get to sleep four more hours.
I don't like that he has to go.
I'm not like, like Yeah what'd you learn
Well I went in the bathroom
He's back from his adventure
I went in the bathroom
He's very sweaty and he's covered in like
Some kind of fine mist
I'm looking through
Some pine needles
Was there a wintry mix where you went
I looked through some drawers and I realized I was in way over my head
I have no idea what I'm looking at I know what a nail polish thing looks like realized I was in way over my head. I have no idea what I'm looking at. He doesn't even know what nail polish.
I know what a nail polish thing looks like, but I was like,
I don't know what any of this
stuff is. It's really, truly
a mystery to me. There's
all these creams, all these bottles,
there's lots of medications that I had no
idea what I was looking at. And I was like,
there's just no way I'm going to find it in a reasonable
amount of time. Okay. Reporting
from a woman's bathroom.
Dazzle dry.
Dazzle dry.
Oh, yeah.
You want to know what just happened?
So I Googled nail polish that lasts.
And dazzle dry was nowhere on the Google list.
I wrote in nail polish that lasts long.
Dazzle dry right away.
What the fuck is that?
Just know that I mean last long.
They paid for the word long maybe made to go on
google yeah i don't know what's going on with that but um yeah dazzle dry was the is the brand
that if girls if you're listening i can't say enough like pay the extra five dollars when you
go to get a manicure and you see they have dazzle dry and it's like a more expensive pay that extra
because they last so much longer they don't chip as much i am someone who my nail polish chips immediately i dig in purses too harshly i just i pick at things like i am like
i'll pick a sticker off something and even though i know that this is going to hurt my nail i can't
stop and i'll do it and um and so yeah dazzle dry is really was really impressive to me and i'm going
to get back on that bandwagon order some um yeah i've
um nails i think they always feel good but they are pointless to get i'm getting a facial today
i'm so excited about it's one of those hydro facials that just like have you ever had one
it's like oh you wouldn't like it it kind of is like the straw oh at the dentist it literally is
that straw it like sucks the things out of your skin, but then it puts in water too,
so it's circulating constantly.
Have you ever had one, Noah?
Hydrafacial?
Yes, I've had it once.
Oh, they good.
I thought they were kind of bullshit because they were so in for a while,
like 10 years ago.
And then I didn't hear anyone recommend them.
And then I went to get Botox last week, and I was like,
I'm just dry and feeling like coming out of Colorado.
I don't know how anyone
has any moisture
in their skin in that state.
And she was like,
you should do a hydrafacial.
And I was like,
I should do one.
And so I'm getting that today
and it's just gentle
and makes you feel so good.
What about if you did it
with oil?
I rub my face with oil
night and day.
I rub my face
with this stuff that I use
and it makes me feel so hydrated.
Plant squalane. Plant squalane. You gotta get some for Allie. I wonder my face with this stuff that I use and it makes me feel so hydrated. Plant squalane.
Plant squalane. Yes.
You gotta get some for Allie. I wonder if she would love it.
But she already has such smooth
skin. I have to ask you guys, Noah,
Taylor, what
keeps your skin from feeling dry
on your face?
Before this plant squalane stuff, I could find nothing.
Maybe an oil. Castor oil.
But that is so sticky. Yeah, I put it on at night I could find nothing. Maybe an oil. Castor oil, but that is so sticky.
Yeah, I put it on at night.
And in the morning, sesame oil.
But my skin looks like an old mummy.
Yeah, I don't really want to hear what you have to say.
It doesn't look like an old mummy.
Will you try some plant squalene and tell me what you feel?
Yes.
Try the squalene.
Get on the squalene change.
I've tried it.
Will you go get it?
Have you tried it recently?
No.
Chew, chew.
Go get it right now?
Yeah, go get it.
Do you know what it is?
We're all going on a mission.
Get that squalane.
Get that squalane, girl.
I'm so obsessed with it.
I know that I talk about it all the time.
It's like the cure for cancer.
The cure for cancer is actually only $3.
That's why the pharmaceutical companies
don't let you have it.
Because the treatment is worth more than the cure.
Your mic's going to get cut. Be careful.
Yeah, you were about to get muted
by Big Brother.
Yeah, I mean, the real person behind
all of this pharmaceutical...
That so makes sense, though.
Oh, no! Wait a second.
We were about to learn.
That was like a little dad bit.
I really did think you got cut off like i forgot the joke
and it worked i was like oh god we're having issues um that's how quick my brain resets we
were just getting ready for the show taylor and i i was just doing my makeup and she got here early
before yesterday's show actually and i was putting on makeup and she she's like my housekeeper too
i don't like that word but she comes in unpacks me
anytime she's here to do the podcast she unpacks me she straightens up my house she like does
things around the house she knows where everything in my house is you know that's why i was like you
know where the plant squalane is even though she doesn't she's been gone a while um she's on a
she's on an adventure yeah um and She's your butler.
Yes.
Oh, she's back from her adventure.
Oh my God.
Squalene.
Yeah, you got it.
Wait, did you already get some?
I put some on.
Doesn't it feel so slick?
It's so slick. You put it everywhere, dude.
It's so amazing. I love it so much.
Squalene. But we were just getting ready and you So slick. You put it everywhere, dude. It's so amazing. I love it so much. Squally.
But we were just getting ready
and you...
I love Taylor
because she's a really...
She's always been cleaning my room
since we were in high school
and it's been like a thing.
Now she gets paid to do it,
but she was...
Straighten.
Straighten.
Yeah, not clean.
But you are clean.
No, I clean sometimes.
I call it cleaning.
I feel like straightening is cleaning.
To me, those are like... It's like supper and dinner. They're the same thing to me but yeah i have a housekeeper come once
every two weeks to like clean clean and then taylor comes and unpacks me and like makes my
stuff organized but it was really funny this morning she was like walking into my bedroom
which is a mess not like a total mess but just messy enough and she's like i love how you leave
a little trail like there's a suck here and then you can just see you can see the body it's like a forensic it is a
crime scene you can see exactly the moves i made because i'll take off a sock and i won't take off
both socks and then put them somewhere together i just throw them where they were when i took them
off and then i take off the pants and i just dropped i kick them off where they land and um
we were in my bathroom and she says it looks exactly the same as your high school bathroom people ask me if you've
changed and you haven't at all it's still this not that that's the way I would change if I became a
celebrity but but it's it's evident that like yeah you know nothing I mean you haven't changed a lot
it would be funny if that's how you did change. I was an idiot back then.
Everyone's smarter than when they were 14.
That's so true.
Oh, I just saw a tweet yesterday that's from Joel Kim Booster that was like,
stop saying you were cool in high school.
No one was cool when you were 16.
You were fucking 16.
You were a fuck.
You were a total fuck.
No one was.
Can you imagine the coolest 16 year old right now as an adult?
They are not cool. No one's cool at 16 no one it really made me laugh and it made me realize who says that anyway i was cool man you don't know oh parents they're like you should listen
to my advice because i was cool yeah no one likes to say they were cool in high school being cool
in high school is only cool when you are in high school if you say that as an adult that you were
cool in high school i don't even know anyone people were cool in high school is only cool when you are in high school. If you say that as an adult that you were cool in high school,
I don't even know anyone.
People were cool in high school, but they will never admit it.
They just say, I was friends with everyone.
It was like one of those people that had friends in every group. I do a parent as an argument to their child who's not listening to them
to be like, you know, in high school, I was actually cool.
I can see that working.
What does that mean?
I wouldn't see it working.
Take my advice.
I was cool in high school once.
Yeah, like the kid is at that age
where they're rebelling and they're saying,
I'm not going to listen to you. You're so lame, mom.
And then she's like, actually, I was pretty cool
in high school. I was, you know,
I had sex with everybody.
My mom was like, I hung out with Scott Bakula.
Oh, yeah, because he was in her grade.
What? Dracula?
Yeah, we didn't care about Scott Bakula
That meant nothing to us
Even though his nephew is my dentist now
Wow
Dr. Bakula
You know that Mitch Hedberg joke
Yeah I was just about to say
Dr. Acula is my doctor
I went to the doctor
All he did was suck my blood
Don't go see Dr. Acula
there was a guy on the plane
two days ago
who looked exactly like Mitch Hedberg sitting next to me
as I do on a plane
I didn't talk to the person the whole time
not because I was like I'm not talking to you
we just didn't talk the entire ride
I was sleeping
and he was kind of like trying to make conversation
early on like I was talking about tarmac lax when we
were about to take off like oh i haven't eaten anything all day like kind of saying things to
himself but like to me and i wasn't taking the bait i was like i don't want this because i i
know this person has a story yeah and i don't and this person's going through something to me
oh my god what an incredible journey I just went through.
There was cheese on my sandwich and I ordered cheese.
Yeah, it was just, there was, this guy had stuff going on in his head and he wanted to
talk to someone about it.
And I just didn't feel like doing that.
No.
But when we landed, he, so I slept the whole time.
He did not bother me again.
I love this guy.
We landed and he said something like, oh, oh, oh, I lifted up the window shade and he said something like oh oh oh i lifted up the window shade and he goes man
bad weather here and i go because it's like totally white right as i open the window we're
like upon approach totally white when i open the window and he goes oh bad weather and i go we're
in the clouds i was such a bitch i like i've already had this guy pinpointed as someone who just wanted
to strike up conversation about anything and like do anything to get calm and i just i didn't want
to i wasn't being a bitch i was just like no i think it's the clouds like i didn't say it in a
mean way but i just told the story in a mean way but he goes no i know but it seems like there's
like big clouds that are like this is this is definitely rain clouds and he had a good point
he he actually was right he wasn't an idiot he knew we were in the clouds, but he was like,
these are significant clouds. And he was right. It was shitty weather
in St. Louis. And he was like, are you from
St. Louis? And I go, yeah. That's when I
start talking because, you know, it's on the descent.
We're getting off the plane soon. I'm
actually kind of feeling chatty. I just woke up.
I finished my
Diet Coke. I'm having a surge of caffeine. I'm kind of
feeling like I'm ready to make a friend.
So he looks identical to Mitch Hedberg. And this is also intriguing to me. It was the first time I had looked at coke i'm having a surge of caffeine i'm kind of feeling like i'm ready to make a friend so he
looks identical to mitch headberg and this is also intriguing to me it was the first time i had like
looked at him and i'm like oh my god he's mitch headberg but with like kind of more gray in his
hair he's probably like mid to late 40s and he looks he's interesting looking he's nice
nice nice looking gentleman mitch headberg hair, but like hippie style.
And he's like, yeah, I haven't been back to St. Louis in forever.
I grew up here.
And I'm like, okay, there's a story going on here.
Something's happening.
He's coming back for the first time in like 25 years.
What's happening, right?
And then he goes, I go, I live here.
And he was like, oh, so you were at LA for work.
And I was like, yeah.
And he goes, what do you do?
And I was like, I'm a comedian.
He goes, what's your name?
And I said, Nikki Glaser.
He goes, oh my God, god what I know you holy shit whoa
and he kind of had that moment of like oh my god
I can't believe what I'm sitting next to you
you're so great you know he's really nice
and I was like yeah
people are always shocked when I'm on
a Southwest flight but it's like there's not
a lot of options out of St. Louis and Southwest
rules I will always fly Southwest
and so but I'm boarding group A don't you a lot of options. Southwest rules. And Southwest rules. I will always fly Southwest. The ultimate Southwest.
And so,
but I'm boarding group A.
Don't you forget it.
I will pay the extra to get boarding group A
one through 15.
It just,
it's...
Save me a seat, bitch.
I will save you a seat.
What you do is,
if you want to save someone a seat
and this is cheating
and it's lying
and I don't condone it
because I would never do it,
but if you want to on a flight,
you know,
a lot of times people
are flying together
and they want to sit next to each other.
But sometimes,
I guess middle seats would probably be open a lot,
but if you want to save a middle seat for your partner
or a seat for your partner,
put their bag, if they're loading later,
put their bag or something
in their seat and say they're in the bathroom.
The old in the bathroom trick.
That tells people they're already
on the plane now it's a lie and i don't like lying so i wouldn't do it but it would work
because i do often throw myself in the chair and go to i always go to the bathroom right when i get
on a plane for some reason i just never remember to before i board and people are always annoyed
by it because you have to like swim back upstream like a desperate salmon. Oh, yeah. So anyway, this guy...
Normal salmon? I don't know if it's desperate.
No, I feel desperate. I feel like there's like...
No, it's like...
I guess salmon never look desperate
unless they're like out of water
and then they're just like...
But their eyes are just like kind of
stagnant. If animals could express
pain in their eyes more, we would have more empathy.
But they just are like beady eyes.
I don't feel sorry for them.
But you should because they feel pain.
But anyway, I'll tell you what happens when we get back from break up.

sweet about me and he's not overdoing it or anything and we're talking about comedians we
like and and he's he tells me i ask him i'm like what do you do and he's like well i what did he
say i used to be a comedian but i died no he used to be a musician
he's something else now i kind of got it yes mitch he uh yeah maybe tyler henry maybe he had
a tyler henry experience maybe the seat next to me was someone and then later someone was like
that's so nice you didn't have anybody next to you in your seat well his name was Ben, and he used to be in a band called Vacation Time.
They had a deal back in the mid-aughts, and they were a punk California rock band.
And then he hasn't played music in forever, and I said, why not?
It just makes me so sad when I hear about people that are virtuosos in music.
And then they go like, I don't know.
I haven't played in like 13 years.
She's like, what?
That's like on. You have that in your fingers right now, and i don't know i haven't played in like 13 years she's like what that's like on you have that in your fingers right now and you don't do anything with it
maybe they play the drums they don't they like i said do you like well that's a good point but just
if you have a musical talent please go do use it for those of us out there who don't have musical
talent and like that's natural don't don't keep that shit in a drawer go use it you have it like that
is such an extraordinary talent if you speak another language show that shit off more that's
like really extraordinary audience just like never talks russian and i'm like you know russian that's
the hardest language to learn next to mandarin yeah you know like it really is i saw a chart of
like the hardest languages to learn it's right right up there with like Chinese. To know an extraordinarily difficult language like that is so cool.
I'd be doing it.
I'd be dying all over the place.
But who would she talk to?
I mean, she can't talk to me.
I would just say, I would just be like, guys, I'm going to just talk Russian for a bit and like impress you.
I just think it would be impressive to all of us.
Like I would love to hear, I love hearing her speak Russian.
I forget she speaks Russian sometimes.
It's just like I just want her to do it
at parties like a guitar player you know ruin
a party with your Russian in the corner
speaking a different language
is so cool especially if it's like
unexpected it's
awesome yeah I had a friend
in New York who is
Mexican but she looks like a white
person and I went
to a deli one time with her
and everyone working there was Latino of some kind.
And they asked her what she wanted
and she started speaking to them in Spanish.
And you could see for like the first couple of phrases,
they were like, come on,
don't talk to me in fucking Spanish,
you fucking white lady.
But then she just kept going
and it was so fluent
that they were like, oh!
And then they got so excited and they started speaking back
to her in Spanish. And I was like, that's like the coolest trick.
People will be impressed by it.
It's so cool.
My sister speaks fluent Spanish because she's a language teacher
and she's incredible at it.
I'm like, break that out all the time.
Noah, do you ever get to break out your
Spanish or your Hebrew skills? at it. I'm like, break that out all the time. Noah, do you ever get to break out your... It's like a magic trick.
Yeah, your Hebrew skills? Yeah,
I do sometimes and people are very
impressed by it because I don't have any semblance
of an Israeli accent. I don't even know what Hebrew
sounds like. Can you say a phrase? Can you
say like, this is the Nikki Glaser podcast.
Let's get started with the show
in Hebrew. I'm guessing podcast is podcast
in Hebrew. Just with an accent.
Okay, I'll say something else. I Podcast. In Hebrew. I'm curious. Just with an accent. Yeah.
Okay, I'll say something else.
I don't know what to say.
Yeah, exactly. What did you say?
I don't know what to tell you, Brian.
That's what I said.
Oh, my God.
You didn't say Brian.
I didn't say Brian, but I added Brian.
Brian is Vlasalach.
It's in Hebrew.
Oh, last night, Tyler Henry, by the way, was like, it's Brian.
And someone goes, I have a brother name is
a brother named Brian and someone's like I'm Brian he goes is it with a Y and he goes no and he goes
this one's with a Y sorry sit down like it was that someone else stood up walked the mic and then
didn't ever make it to the mic and then the producer whoever said oh she thought it was
Ryan like just listen to what St. Louis i can't tell you enough how disappointed i was
i said brian i asked larry the guy that got us backstage i said larry is st louis slower than
other towns and he was like well the mics were kind of in weird places i was like just answer
the question yes because i i was ashamed at how slow my city was but i will this gets back to
us in the bathroom and you saying I haven't changed.
I was putting on my makeup and you were like, maybe you're faster now than you were in high school.
I was like, I think I'm still, I was fast in high school too.
Because I got told a lot like, slow down or whatever.
Or like, you're too rough with things and you plop down too hard.
You're going to break that couch, Nikki, and all these things. But I was saying, I can't imagine someone doing, like, give me that squalane.
I can't imagine someone putting this on.
Oh, the squalane disaster.
Squal, squal.
It's only seven bucks.
And I have so many bucks.
Seven bucks?
That's cheap.
I know.
Okay.
So this is how someone puts on squalane.
They go like this and they go, oh, it's in the dropper.
Okay.
It's got a little bit in the dropper.
So you're doing Kirsten right now.
Just me and Kirsten.
Oh, interesting.
But like, okay, it's in the dropper.
And then I'm going to drop like one, two, three.
I just go, you know, and then you go like this.
And then they put it on like this.
They'll like rub it in like, and then they'll like rub it like gently like blah like who i don't even under it would be like a watercolor painter on your own
face and these people have kids and jobs and i just go how do you get anywhere in life because
people like i think it's their form of like meditation or like they're just being in the
moment or something which is impossible you have to really try hard to be that slow, at least for me.
I don't think you do.
I think some people don't.
You do.
They must not.
Yeah.
You would, yeah.
Well, it's interesting because I was watching this Instagram video last night of this trans
man who I've never seen someone look so much like a man.
Like, I've never seen someone pass this hard i mean i most trans people
i know are pretty passing and i don't i don't even think trans people are required to pass i
don't give a shit what you do but this person is i can't even believe hormones made this person into
a man this much and he showed a picture of himself when he was still a uh uh you know a girl or
whatever and it i was like this person must have started transitioning as a baby or whatever. And I was like,
this person must have started transitioning
as a baby or something
because they are such a masculine man.
He looked like the guy on the paper towels,
Brawny.
Oh, the Brawny man.
Yeah, he looked like the Brawny man.
So the manliest man ever.
Huge, thick beard.
Wow.
Huge, thick eyebrows.
Sideburns down the side.
Like just broad shoulders.
It was so impressive. He was holding paper towels in its own way again i don't think trans men need to be presenting as men but
i just couldn't believe he was holding angel is that i was using paper to sop up my fucking pussy
because i was like this is the most masculine man i've ever seen in my life um no it wasn't
buck angel but he's this guy i sent it to anya because i
could not it was really fascinating because he was talking look at this guy taylor i'm about to
tell me you you will not believe that this used to be a woman you won't believe it look at whoa
and listen to his voice i went to work at a steel mill and everybody wants to know how did i survive
so i essentially was jane goodall at the steel mill like everybody wants to know how did I survive so I essentially was Jane Goodall at the steel mill
okay so he talks about being a man
at the steel mill as a trans man
and he's totally passing
so no one's even going to question it
but he's talking about how men move and behave
and how he studied these men
at the steel mill
in a really male dominant
blue collar environment
and how men behave and he's i don't know what his purpose of this tic tac was it kind of showed up
on my reddit i think he kind of gives tips about two trans men about how to act more masculine or
i don't really know it was like an anthropological study people in the comments are like i can't even
believe how well he's defined like what it is to be a man he said to be the perfect
man around other men and to
assert dominance you spread
out as much as you can
so whatever chair you're next to unless
there's a woman nearby in which case you
keep it more but if you're around other men
you take a chair next to you
you pull it towards you and you drape your hand on that chair
so you take up as much sitting
places as you can. And whenever you look
at somewhere, you're sitting right now.
What?
Brian's learning. He's taking notes. He's just
trying to hide his hand. I'm looking at this guy
on the TikTok. I was just
trying to look at his face.
Wait, I got to show you this, Brian. I'm just going to send it to you.
I see him. I have a TikTok of him. I know
who he is. How do you know?
I just found him. Steel Mill? I did Trans Man Steel Mill. Yeah, who he is. How do you know? I just found him.
I did trans man steel mill.
Yeah, you got it. Okay. Isn't this guy amazing?
He's in his car, right? Yeah, he's in his car. He's got the beard.
He's got a really long mustache.
What's his TikTok so people can find him?
The gravel bro.
Yeah, I mean, that's...
He loves gravel. Always has.
Then he also says, this was interesting,
instead of when men look at each other,
to be intimidating to other men
because he's talking about
being in these circumstances
where men are trying to assert dominance.
So when you look at a man,
when a man makes a joke,
don't laugh unless it's funny.
Manly men do not laugh
at other men's jokes.
It's a sign of insecurity
if you're giving someone a laugh
when they don't deserve it.
So you just stare them down
if they make a joke
that you don't like
or that doesn't make sense
and you will be the alpha male
within minutes.
Okay?
Also,
don't look at a man
straight like this
with your head.
Tilt like this
when they're talking.
If you tilt your head,
so look at this.
Look at me looking like this.
Nice.
Nice girl.
Mean man.
I haven't changed my facial expression.
I just changed my tilt of my head
To an upwards motion
Of like
You kind of are like
Almost assessing them
And then
That's too thuggish
I think that makes you look insecure
That's
Yeah it's thuggish ruggish
No this guy looked hot
When he was doing it
And then
But he's just saying about other men
And then there was
One more that was really good
I can't remember
Oh
This was the one that made me think of all this
Move slowly.
Masculine men do not
like if they drop something.
It's like a sissy move to rush.
Yeah, so if he's in line at the grocery store and he has
a Coke in his hand and the bottle
falls on the ground, if you go like this, like
trying to get it,
you look like a pussy.
But if you drop it
and you just go,
you look You look like a pussy But if you drop it And you just go You look so cool Everything you're doing is looking like Snoop
For some reason
Snoop moves very slowly
He's very masculine
I'm picturing like rappers
They're very slow
They're very spready
And they're very look downy
The chin up thing is like a guy that Eminem's facing
In 8 Mile
And he's gonna lose
Oh that's a good point
Yeah he's losing
But this guy's just really
He's not an asshole by the way
This guy is just saying like men are pathetic
He's almost like calling out men
Like this is so dumb that we all have to do this stuff
Or like this stuff works
But I really like to think of like It made me want to be a little bit more masculine in some
ways of like i don't need to move fast every when i'm moving fast it makes me look like
i can be preyed upon very quickly yeah i don't look confident you look silly is how i think
because i'm really fast i think i look like a silly goose but even when i was like yes when
i was walking out on the emmys and there was that long way for me to walk, I started like kind of running because I'm like, because my insecurity is that no one wants to watch me walk.
I'm so boring.
These poor people have to look at me walk.
This is so embarrassing.
I'm not hot enough to be just a hot person that like walks.
I need to speed this up because I'm being inconvenient.
Do you do the same thing?
It's a lack of confidence. walks. I need to speed this up because I'm being inconvenient to people. Do you do the same thing if someone
stops for you at a...
It's not really a crosswalk,
but they just stop for you to cross the street.
Do you just take your time crossing or do you like...
No. I sprint.
Because that is the right thing to do. You're a fucking
asshole if you slow down. If you're someone who
someone is waiting for you to
pull out of a parking space and you
know they are and you get in your car and start texting or you... Even if you put on your seatbelt, pull out of a parking space and you know they are and you get
in your car and start texting or you even if you sit up put on your seatbelt pull out before you
put on you get the fuck out of that space then you put on your seat i'm obviously joking put on
your seat but if you take your time and fix the rear view mirror and you make sure your seat's
adjusted you're an asshole and you're desperate for attention and you need to get in other ways
and you need to go talk to a therapist.
You're a loser because you are purposely
making other people wait.
You're getting back at your mom.
Yes, and it's not worth it in this parking lot at Target
where this woman is just trying to get in and out.
You're not proving anything to her.
You're not better than her.
You're an asshole.
I hate when someone takes a long time
to cross the street
It's so
It's like a power move
The other day was happening
And I was like
Can you move your wheelchair
Any faster
You piece of shit
What about these people
When you're like
When you're going towards a door
And you know you're gonna be faster
But then they like
Speed up a little
And then they go like
Excuse you
Oh god
What about What are we gonna do here Excuse you Speed shame This woman did that At the YMCA but then they like speed up a little and then they go like excuse you oh god what about what
are we gonna do here excuse you this woman did that at the ymca and like and i was like i know
i'm faster than you you're going slow but she sped up because she wanted like some attention
she wanted to like where's the fire dying for a fight these people are dying for it people in the
car want you to honk they want you you're welcome're welcome. I've been a shit. The other day, I did it to Chris. I said, what?
I pulled a real asshole
move the other day with Chris.
He didn't thank me
for something I thought
I deserved to be thanked for
because he just forgot.
He was feeling sick.
He's not an ungrateful person.
He thanks me for
literally everything.
He's a thanker.
He's totally a thanker,
but I just had it in my mind
like he didn't thank me
for this thing.
It was already on my mind and I
wasn't talking about it because I just
didn't want to confront it or whatever. But it's in
my head and it's just brewing and
it's like I'm heated
to a boil. And then he did something else
that annoyed me. And so
instead of addressing
that thing, I go...
It's like a chess game.
Like he didn't ask me about something else
that I thought he should ask me about.
Yes. I was like,
oh, they're sick, and he didn't ask a follow-up because he was
busy on something. He would have, but
it was circumstantial.
And I go, and she's fine, by the way.
And by the way, you're welcome.
I go, by the way, you're welcome
for earlier today. And he was like,
what? He goes, I'm not your dad. I'm not your mom, and you're welcome for earlier today and he was like what he goes i'm not your dad i'm not your mom
and you're not 17 you can't talk to me like this and i was like that's a good point like but i did
say to him i was like he goes that's a shitty way to call someone out he didn't say shitty because
that's like an immature that's a childish way to call someone out and i go i think it actually i
know that it is but it's fun it's more fun than being
like by the way it hurt my feelings that you didn't thank me earlier i want to talk to you
for a minute it's funny it's a funny way to do it to be sarcastic so i i don't i don't i'm it's
indefensible i should not talk to him like that i don't like being a little like brat like sarcastic
but i will say i am a funny person i like to present things in a funny manner
so in a creative manner i do think i can be a super creative right now about your apology
i am i am but no i i did apologize and i was like yeah i was shitty and that was a childish thing
but um i was in line to get on a plane the other day oh my god i almost had a tom segura where i
like yeah you know what
tom segura got in trouble for by like people just got upset with him because he had a gay agent tell
him yeah we talked about on the show yeah okay so just to refresh everyone's mind and he tweeted
about it and he was like you know pissed about this gate agent which i get i get his ire because
first of all i know i thought about tom when this happened to me because I was like, Tom was just in a little worse mood
than I was in this moment.
If I would have just been
in a worse mood and my day
would have just gone a little bit shittier up into this
moment, I would have had the same reaction of like, I'm taking
this to Twitter.
Or like they would have just escalated.
The ultimate tribunal Twitter.
Yeah. Well, so I was
boarding this plane.
And you know, famously on planes, you can have two things.
You have one that goes in the overhead and one carry on.
And they're cracking down on that these days.
Oh, they're crack-a-lacking.
It's so dumb.
Okay, I do understand when someone has three bags that are just crazy bags.
But if I'm wearing a fanny pack that is clearly able to fit in my backpack,
and you know for a fact as soon as I get on the
plane I'm taking it out of my backpack anyway
who gives a fuck truly
who gives a fuck because my backpack
you can tell it's not packed to the brim
that fanny pack could fit in there
why do you need me to put it on in there
when the second I get on board I'm gonna take it out
the second you get on the sky bridge
you're gonna take it out exactly exactly
so I am walking on and she goes beige bag The second you get on the sky bridge You're gonna take it out Exactly Exactly So
I am walking on
And she goes
Beige bag
Beige bag
And I have my headphones on
And I go
Beige bag
Oh my god
Yeah
Like your
Like your body is a beige
Sack of skin
I was like my bags
Under my skin
Eyes are purple
Thank you very much
Yeah like
I did feel like a beige bag that day
My face was a beige always a bb
yeah so beige bag and i'm like it's pink no it was it's beige sometimes anya calls my bag pink
and i'm like this is beige but anyway so she nailed that she goes beige bag and i was like
what and she was like you need to consolidate your items and by the way i'm in the first
boarding class this is not southwest this is like i'm in first class right so i've paid for this
priority i and i always i
never want to have this moment i'm not trying to bait them into it i always remember to put my
fanny pack in my bag before because i know this bullshit thing and i don't want to get called out
i had just forgotten right and so i go oh oh so sorry so i undo my fan bag she goes step aside
ma'am to load it and i go but there's still two people in front of me that have to scan and i go
i can do this right now and while i'm still like she goes step aside ma'am don't slow down the line I go I'm not
slowing down the line look what I'm doing I go look oh my god it's fitting in right now it's
so easy and I'm trying to be like funny about it and be like oh it's like I got it no no no I don't
have to step aside she was like ma'am step aside you're slowing down the line I'm like I literally
am not slowing down the line I just did it and then i got it done before they scanned my pass and i was like yes but it was so what is going
on there so dumb do you know and there was a pilot in front of control necessary who was like just
you know doing a you know when pilots just like fly in the plane sad just called dead dead dead
heading dead head yes good job is that it yes it is he was dead heading and so i or i think it's called deadheading yes good job is that it
yes it is
he was deadheading
and so I
or I think it's something
with dead in it
so
he was a deadhead
and so
he had a grateful
dead shirt on
he had really long
weird hair for a pilot
and
he flew fine
he just
riding that plane
flying the freak flag
he he was like man she was a lot and I immediately saw riding that plane flying the freak flag he
he was like
man
she was a lot
and I immediately saw
he was a pilot
and I was like
no at first I
shit talked to her
I was like
they are so fucking stupid
about this shit
like he saw that I was about
to lose my cool
and I go
I go it's
I go I'm taking it
out of my bag right now
she's such an idiot
and I said something like that
and he was like
oh yeah
and then I saw he was a pilot
and I was like
oh no I'm shit like I'm shit talking his team he's gonna tell me but
he didn't he was like that was insane and i was like oh thank you pilot it made me feel so good
but i want to get back to the guy that woodway landed in st louis he told me he's in st louis
and he's like i and this i love when people tell me this because we were talking about addiction, I think.
I forget how we, within a minute, I told him like, oh yeah, I get depressed too.
And I could just tell he was someone that has struggled with stuff.
Damn, you should have talked to him the whole flight.
You only had a couple minutes.
We really cracked through some stuff.
And he goes, and I love when people say this to me because it happens a lot.
He goes, I don't even know why I'm telling you this. And I was like, yes, I get that all the time. I love when people say this to me because it happens a lot he goes I don't even know
why I'm telling you this
but
and I was like
yes
I get that all the time
I love it
I've made him comfortable
he's ready to share
something really intimate
that I'm going to talk
about on my podcast
and say his full name
and exactly what he looks like
and his band
yeah we can figure it out
we know his band
Google him
I think Ben would be
okay with this
but he
he was like
I'm going to meet
my dad for the first time
he's never met his biological father
and he was going to meet him the next day
and I was like oh my god and he's a twin
and his twin wasn't there but he was going to meet his dad
and he was like nervous and excited
it was so cute and I was so glad I got that story
even though I didn't talk to him the whole time
I would have talked to him longer
it was a shame I didn't spark up that conversation before but it was so interesting it's crazy that
everyone's got their own little story of where they're going and what people don't oh god some
people have no story as we found out at tyler henry last night some people just have nothing
sometimes they take a risk and they don't i'm like oh okay she really wants to talk she might
be interesting and then she just goes what goes, what are they trying to do?
Kill us on this plane?
Every five minutes,
like headphones off.
What?
Oh, yeah.
That was a weird bump in the ride.
People are so lonely.
I think that's the problem.
We're either going to want to hold hands
if we're crashing.
That's the first thing.
Why?
With a random person who says that there's bumps on the ride?
I would love to hold someone's hand when they're stressed out.
I'm dying for someone to be next to me who's freaking out because I would calm them.
But if I'm also dying in this situation because the plane's crashing, I don't want my last
moments to be touching a stranger's hand.
I disagree
I think that we need
Community and other people
When we're scared
Some people
Some people's hands I'll hold
Some people's I don't want to
I think that in that moment you would want other things
I'm actually disagreeing
I think that you don't know what you would do
You don't know what you would do
When you think you're going to die
If I'm in that moment I might actually want to hold someone's hand I don't know what you would do. Oh, that I don't even... Yeah, you don't know what you would do when you think you're going to die. If I'm in that moment,
I might actually want to hold someone's hand.
Well, I don't like being touched.
I know I won't.
I was reading about the Alaska flight
where the hole blew through the plane.
Did you hear about that?
Oh, yeah.
Insane.
Insane.
Shut up.
I'm scared.
They said that it was eerily quiet on the plane
because everyone had an oxygen mask on,
so there was no one talking.
So it was like everyone thought they were going to die and everyone
totally quiet. A whole booth through?
Because they didn't fasten the bolts
so they've, I think they've
you know, they've taken
like 12 or 14 something planes
of that model off the market because
they all were made here in St. Louis.
Those Boeings, those Super Maxes
and they said that the
their people's
phones flew out the holes
and then left. And they found a phone
that survived. Wow.
Those commercials are true. Because the air
pressure makes it only fall
at 50 miles per hour.
Because if it falls
obviously straight down, it'll get
the velocity to kill someone.
Even 50 miles an hour. But if it falls falls like this the wind pressure will make it like gentle and it fell in some if
it would have fallen on concrete it would have break in but it it the person got their phone
back and it worked so someone called i was like are you missing a phone like yeah it flew out of
a plane so in the door from the plane that flew open landed in someone's backyard in portland
oh my god can you imagine yeah i can't believe. Oregon or Maine.
And there was also the miracle, the Jesus miracle of this whole thing was that the bolts that fell out were next to two seats that just happened to be empty.
I know.
Most people would have been sucked out.
Yeah, maybe.
Why were there two seats empty?
Why wasn't someone trying to go?
If they had, because apparently my my apparently my um
voice teacher had read up on this he's he's flown planes before and he said that
the the seats that were empty were like twisted metal and they were being like almost being sucked
out so if people would have been in them it probably would have added to the weight of the
suckage and they would have been sucked out i'm almost the weight of this i'm sorry to say
i shouldn't say this.
I'm not going to say it.
No.
Well, I'll say it when we get back from break after I talk to you guys about whether or not I should say it.
Who's suckable audible is what Nikki's going to say.
Oh, you think that I'm going to say I wish so-and-so would have been sitting there?
Like a jerk.
No, that is nicer than what I was going to say.

Okay.
I don't think I'm alone here.
But when there is
a crazy thing that happens,
I kind of want it to happen.
Duh.
Like, I am glad no one was hurt in that.
I don't wish people to be hurt.
But I think it would be a cooler story
had some people been sucked out.
We've talked about this. Is this when we when we were kids i remember you agreeing with me i confessed this to you i was like when i we heard there was something on the radio about like a bus crash
and there was like five people died and i said to you do you ever wish that it was like 20 and
you're like yes and you and I like grabbed each other's legs
and we're like,
thank God.
I don't think we're alone.
I've heard echoes of this in Reddit.
And I can't even imagine being someone who's like,
I can't relate to that at all.
Yeah.
It's not you.
It's no one you love.
Louis CK has a joke about this of like,
if it's,
you read about like an earthquake in China and like
6,000 people die and you just can't
care that's Patrice O'Neill you can't get
yourself oh
maybe they both have the joke
oh yeah maybe it is
Patrice but I feel like I've heard Louis
say something like this like
you can't get yourself
oh yeah it is Patrice you can't get yourself
to care you try and you go oh yeah it is patrice you can't get yourself to care you try
and you go oh those those people but it's like if not because they're chinese i just set them
somewhere far away they're far yes because they're in the far east uh no because they're they're you
just it i i obviously have empathy extraordinary empathy for humans and creatures and everything, but there is a part of me that
when there's a catastrophe, I want
big numbers.
You have empathy for an individual, but when
the numbers get so big, it's abstract
and you can't even really fathom the
horror of the individual suffering.
But why would I want more numbers?
It's the same reason that people like watching horror
films. I'm always like, why would you want to see that?
I think I know why. I want things to be, why would you want to see that? I think it's because you want,
I want things to be morbid.
I have morbid curiosity and I want the more morbid they are,
the more interested I am.
And this is not,
these are full adults that I want.
Dad,
I don't want cute children.
Yeah.
Like children.
I'm always like,
no,
let's get the casualties down to nothing.
Animals,
nothing,
but for adults shootings, how many do you want in there?
Zero.
School shootings, zero.
Zero school shootings.
Let's talk off air.
It's not that you want them.
No, it's already done, you guys.
It's already done.
I think it's that you,
this is how I feel that I'm just thinking of now,
is that I want to be like, oh, I lived through this thing where there was something incredible that happened that we're going to be talking about for a long time.
Whether it's something good or it's something bad, you want it to be like an extreme so that it's interesting.
Yes, that is it.
If you're going to remember a school shooting with five people, they're going to remember, you know.
Unfortunately, maybe in america i think on the plane um i wonder if there's anybody on the plane
who had their phone not in airplane mode and was like oh no i did this and they got prosecuted oh
no that's mine's never on airplane or imagine you should never put it on airplane mode everyone
no don't do that it's not real they're not gonna get in trouble can i just stop doing it excuse me
someone's phone is not on airplane let me just give a little let me to people who don't fly
often and maybe you have a flight coming up as someone who travels often i just want to just
talk to you really quickly about your dumb fears and your anxieties that i'm calling dumb because they aren't real and you can you can just calm down
okay because i used to be this way too you do not need to be at the airport over two hours early
at a normal regional airport not maybe if it's an international flight i might international yes
like get there the day before.
International,
this is not talking about that.
I am way overly anxious for those.
Someone needs to talk down to me for that.
But for domestic travel,
if you're traveling somewhere, you don't need
your shit in plastic bags.
You don't need to put your liquids in plastic
bags. You do need
your liquids under four ounces. don't need to put your you do need your liquids under three like four
ounces they say three ounces but like you'll
get away with four sometimes I have a full
lotion and no one will catch it
they will catch water it's not a big deal
if they do I forget water in my bag all the time you don't
need to be like so insane about it like
make sure I need to double check it's not
embarrassing it happens all the time
you don't need plastic bags
3.4 ounces people get the travel toothpaste the all the time A normal tube of toothpaste You don't need plastic bags Is 3.4 ounces
People get the travel toothpaste
The little tiny ones
Yeah
A normal tube
Is under 4 ounces
So you can bring
Your normal toothpaste
If you want
Yeah
And it's also not liquid
It's like
I think people
Get freaked out about
What they mean about liquid
I don't know about that
Gel is different
Was it over 3.4 ounces?
About
I used Tom's toothpaste And i had a full tube once
and the guy made me take it out of my bag and throw it out i was very upset i would say with
the toothpastes i don't do that i don't bring on a full tube so i'll risk it because a lot of times
they won't catch it but if they do they could throw it away so i that's but again if it is over
you're not a criminal you're not going to be taken back into a room and like they'll just have you throw it away.
It's not a big deal.
You don't need to be hyper vigilant of like and then my shoes need to be if you have if
you don't have TSA pre which travelers who are anxious about traveling definitely don't
you don't need to get there any earlier than two hours before you don't need to put your
things in plastic bags.
They will tell you what to do with your shoes.
They will tell you what to do with your belt. They'll tell you what to do with your coat. You don't need to put your things in plastic bags they will tell you what to do with your shoes they will tell you what to do with your belt they'll tell you what to do with your coat you don't need
to freak out if you get anything wrong it doesn't matter you're not going to be taken aside you're
not going to be wanded um it's you don't you don't need to be this nervous about because there are
some people i've heard that are like traveling they're like well i have to get all these
different containers for my for my things and it's like just check your fucking bag don't get little things um and your
bag will not get lost i've traveled a million times my bag has only gotten lost two times and
all the time i've checked bags and it was found instantly it was just put on a later flight and
it gets to me later on um they're not gonna rummage through your bags and steal things yes
don't travel with your jewelry in a bag
But generally no one's stealing things out of bags
What else?
Airplane mode
Don't get up as soon as the plane lands
And just stand there
Like an idiot
Everyone hates you for it
It's annoying
Why are you in such a rush?
Just sit down until it's time to get up
As soon as the bell dings
You don't need to get up
Especially if you're in a middle or window seat.
If you have a connecting flight,
I get up immediately.
Here's another tip. Why?
Because I want to get my bag and
be forward in line.
And I also expect...
I also am trying to respect the people behind me
who want me to move fast.
And I don't want to be rushed in the moment.
So I try to get up as soon as possible. If you're in a window seat,
take as long as you want.
But people will...
The ethics of
exiting the airplane is that you let
the row in front of you entirely exit
before you move forward. No. Don't do
that. Just go. If you haven't... It's like
traffic. If this person's taking too
long, you just zip ahead.
You're in the flow of traffic. You have the right of way.
Might as well open the door in the mid-air.
Well, they should open the back
door while we're talking about what
is the... Final thought.
Airplane mode is an illusion.
You don't need it. Yes, you do need to buckle your seatbelt
at all times. That is something they will check.
You don't need to worry about having your
headphones not on. Air Canada is
weird about headphones, but you're not flying to Canada.
We're talking about domestic flights.
What about tray table upright? Why do
they make you do that?
They're crazy. They just want everything
to be clean.
Block the exit if there's
an emergency landing. You want to be
able to not obstruct it. Put your
bag all the way in front of the seat in front of you. That
is something they will be weird about. You cannot
have your purse on your lap.
You can put your backpack next to you as a lean-to against the window,
which is a great device, or on your lap or on your tray table.
Put your backpack and lean forward on it.
That is a much better thing than just putting a pillow on your tray table.
But you can conceal it with a blanket on the side,
and they won't catch you for that.
You cannot vape in a bathroom.
The vape will set off the smoke alarm.
You will be fined $5,000.
It has happened to people I know.
$5,000?
Not worth it.
Why can't you just do it in the seat?
Like under your jacket?
Yeah, I don't...
Because no one wants anyone vaping on a plane.
Right, but they can't...
Why when you're landing
and taking off do you need the window to be open?
Don't know.
That one's arbitrary.
But again, you won't get in trouble.
They'll just be like, put up your window shade.
Like, I think everyone's so scared of getting an FAA, like suspension or something.
Like if you fuck up on a plane and by the way you are allowed to lean back
your chair no matter what it is not it is i don't lean back my chair because i just feel bad for the
person behind me but it's not that's just that's a thing i used to not do i used to be like no i'm
gonna lean it back no matter what if someone leans back their chair when i'm behind them i don't care
you have that right the chair wouldn't lean back unless you were able to use it so do that whatever you want get up to go to the bathroom as much as you want a flight don't worry you don't care. You have that right. The chair wouldn't lean back unless you were able to use it. So do that whatever you want.
Get up to go to the bathroom as much as you want on a flight.
Don't worry.
You don't have to go, oh my God, I'm so sorry.
Please.
I hate that.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I litter the world with sorries.
But hey, here's my thing.
No, you got two Macs.
If someone says sorry to you, say it's fine.
I don't like when you say sorry and they say nothing.
That is so rude.
You should be suspended from the flight. Because they're actually pissed
that they had to move, which is insane.
Yeah, they are actually pissed. And they are, that's
so lame. You should pee a lot of times.
One bathroom break every three
hours. If you need to go more than that, you should
get an aisle seat. Two hours.
Agreed. That's a good system.
Let's talk about gait
behavior. You don't need
to line up before your row is called
let me even talk about southwest where you line up a1 through 30 b1 through 30 whatever
a1 through 30 through 60 i'm always like a22 or something i would never in my life go find my
place in line wait for the road to just hang back i don't understand all these people lining up like just
wait until you see about 22 people come in kind of look at their boarding passes see what number
they are and then just jump in line no one can get mad at you because you are you are in the number
you should be even if they do seem like you're cutting in front of me you can just be like yeah
i'm a16 you're a24 you should be behind me and they can't get mad at you and that's a victorious um
and be quicker when you're like putting your luggage up also put it sideways for the love of
god everyone they say that a million times then everybody puts it flat yeah you know because you
guys all have the box ones oh right and they always put it flat and then the flight attendant
has to go fix them up. They're like, they say
books on a shelf and people are like,
my book go flat on shelf.
Because these people don't read books. They don't know.
And also,
airplane mode is an illusion.
Stop having a giant
hard rolling suitcase
that you bring on the plane.
I think that those rolling suitcases
that you bring on the plane should be banned.
Because I think if you need that much stuff,
then you probably need a checked bag
that goes underneath the plane.
I disagree.
But it should be free to check a bag
and that's why Southwest is good.
No, duffel bags are hell.
Duffel bags.
You have to actually put them on.
Duffel bags are 80.
Duffel bags.
And they tried to get me to check that
and they're like, oh oh that's not going to fit
And I'm like this could fit under my seat
It's way smaller than a rolly suitcase
I think those rolly suitcases
I remember when they started to happen
I mean they weren't always a thing
It was like 20 years ago when they all of a sudden
Had the perfect size square rolly suitcases
That you can store
Can you believe there weren't wheels on luggage until recently
Like that seems like The wheel would be invented And there weren't wheels on luggage until recently? That seems like the wheel would be
invented and then they put it on luggage. I loved those days.
I just still carry a box one.
You have a briefcase. Why don't you want wheels on your luggage?
Because they're so ugly and you guys look
everyone looks so stupid dragging them
around. No, I don't even drag it
because I have four.
I just lightly touch it. I would put a finger
on it and it just travels with me.
Yeah, they're just so ugly.
With my beige bag.
Oh, a moment of that.
Your bags aren't beige.
That's pink.
Really?
You think it's pink?
Anya thinks it's pink too.
Well, look at the website.
It definitely says beige.
Maybe that's the name of your special.
Beige bag.
A moment that.
Beige bag is back.
I can't get over on planes
Is
When the
When the
Flight attendant comes by
With snacks
Or drinks
And
They ask you if you want snacks
I feel
So
Infantilized
Whenever I request something
They go
Do you want a snack?
And then you have to go
I'll take the cookies
It feels so
Like a little baby I'll take We have. It feels so like a little baby.
We have chips and cookies.
You know how you give a baby three choices
so they don't have unlimited choice? That's what they
do to you on the plane. They go,
we have chips, we have
cookies, and we have crackers. And you go, I'll take
the crackers. And then they give you the
crackers like you're a little baby.
Well, when you're flying business,
they give you a basket
of all these snacks and they just put it in front of your face
and everyone just has to read each thing
and touch each thing.
Just pick it.
You're making everyone else wait.
It's so annoying.
I hate little fingers.
Just people that go...
That have to touch everything.
The next time you're not In business class
Just listen to all the people
When the flight attendant
Is coming by with snacks
And how childish
They sound
When they go
I'll take the cookies
And I'll take the
Can I have a milk
Everyone has a little technique
For how they don't want
To sound like a little baby
Sometimes they go like
I'll take the cookies please
And you can tell
That they're overcompensating
I just
I say I don't want anything
because I don't want to sound like a baby.
No way.
Brian, don't miss out on a biscotti
or a nice brownie brittle.
What about the people that are ordering
apple juice on the plane?
Because you don't want to seem like a loser.
You're not going to eat a snack.
That's so dumb, Brian.
And then these losers next to me are like,
can I get a Munchos?
And it's like, you're a fucking loser.
That's so funny that you won't do that.
You're missing out.
That stuff is good.
Snacks are fun.
I put my chin up like this.
Those snacks are so old.
I think you sound like a baby.
I don't.
And I go, I don't want anything.
And then they think, oh, alpha male.
My biggest plane hack is what I said before.
It is, if you're in a middle seat, you can
be comfortable when you sleep.
You put your tray table down. You put your backpack
on top of it and you put a sweatshirt
on top of that. You make it as tall as possible
and then you lean on it. Do not lean
directly on the tray table. That's too low. It will
hurt your back. Don't put just your sweatshirt on
the tray table. You need the backpack on top of it.
Create a giant mound as high as it can go and then
lean on it. It is seriously better
than being a window seat.
You can do that on a window seat too, but it's like
you can make a window seat
doable. And please, for the
love of God, if you decide
to sleep in a middle seat, don't
make everyone next to you tortured
with your bobbing head
up and down. Just please lean
forward and go to sleep it's so hard
to just make this so like like catching themselves apnea style every three seconds it's like nodding
off on heroin on the middle lean your chair back so there's some way for your head to not keep going
like bouncing forward it is it's hell or get a turtle neck brace thing. There's a
neck pillow called the turtle. T-U-R-T-L.
And it
wraps around your neck and it keeps you from doing that
bouncing shit. You are a turtle if you wear one of those.
I can't stand it. Turtle.
But yeah, I mean, I'm
so obnoxious on planes and I'm sure there's...
And don't fart on planes. That's really rude.
I think people feel like
they can get away with it because it's muffled by the sound.
It gets sucked up into the air system and circulated throughout.
No one needs that.
Just don't go on a plane at all.
Just stay home.
That's really what it is.
Just stay home.
Where are you going?
Stay there.
Oh, here's another one.
You don't have anywhere to go.
Oh, my God.
This is 90% of people, I think.
I am going to trigger someone.
When you check your bags and you're at the, you know, the talking to the person and you
get your boarding pass and they give you your boarding pass, they give you your bag tags
and it's time to go to your gate.
Go to your fucking gate.
Leave the area. There are people in line behind you who are
late for their flight and i'm just not talking about me i'm worried about people that because
i've been late before guaranteed there's someone behind you that needs that gate agent so they can
check their bag and make it onto the plane by the way you can check your bag up to 45 minutes before
your plane takes off so if your plane is scheduled for 6 45 you can
check your bag up until six o'clock after that you have to get on the next flight because your bag
will not make it so that is a rule that people don't know about but people just dawdle they will
just get their tags and they'll go and so i go down here it's like just follow the fucking sign
clear the way because people always get the people that are that line is always urgent so move your ass there's no one that's not urgent in that line and these people
after now they're safe so now they can start taking their time they used to be an urgent person
but they have no recollection of what that used to feel like moments ago how about we all just have
a little respect and empathy for other people's struggles well i got to the airport earlier than
them well fuck you you had better parents that taught you
how to be responsible.
This person isn't late because they're a bad person.
You're going to be late someday in your life.
Be nice to them.
Oh, this is my biggest tip.
If you, and I've said this before on podcasts,
maybe not this one specifically,
but if you are running late for your flight
and your bag's already checked
and you just have to get through TSA
and the line is fucking long,
be a hero for yourself and
ask to cut in line.
No one's going to begrudge you that. Say
how late you are for your flight. Apologize
profusely and cut in line. Do not
miss your flight because you're scared
to be annoying. Those people
will forget about you as soon as you go through.
It's not annoying. You can be very grateful.
You can make them feel like a little hero because they let you through.
Fight for yourself.
Don't just take it up the ass and stay in the back of the line and be like, well, I can't cut.
Just have the balls.
Swallow your pride.
But where do you go in?
Don't take it up the ass.
Have balls.
You go in where you're going to have a chance.
Yes, exactly.
Don't talk to the person right in front of you
and then like slowly
make your way.
Yeah, no, you gotta
cut through the middle.
Right?
And don't implore,
don't talk to the TSA agent.
They don't give a fuck about you.
They'll tell you to go to the back
if they catch you.
They won't help you.
And they, no, not,
they won't do that
if they catch you.
They've told me to go to the back.
If you're asking people,
I was cutting,
I was going under the rope
to cut and they were like,
no going past the rope.
You need to go all the way around like a snake.
You know what I would do in that scenario?
I would say, I said, ma'am, I'm just going to ask someone if I can cut.
I'm so sorry.
I'm late for my flight.
We've all been there.
I'm embarrassed.
This is so embarrassing.
Just a threat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
To the airline.
I think people feel so scared going to airports because they feel like
they're going to be arrested for the slightest thing and everyone's a people pleaser and everyone's
has alcoholic parents so everyone's tiptoeing around everyone's feelings and everyone's scared
of getting in trouble i promise you you can leave your bag and go to the bathroom no one's going to
confiscate it even though they keep saying things of like don't leave your luggage it will be
confiscated it won't be i love doing it um just
relax with air travel and if you have any questions dm me because i would love to dispel your fears
and also if you fought if you feel you have turbulence on a plane um it isn't gonna turbulence
planes can handle it so much someone once said to me a pilot once said to me
that turbulence is the same as driving over a styrofoam cup on the highway would you freak
out about that if you were a driver no it would be literally nothing but it feels like so much
to someone else but it's that is what pilots look at turbulence as it literally is not any detriment
you're not going to die.
And don't hold my hand.
No, actually do hold my hand.
I would like it.
Is this the end of the show?
Did we already do final thought?
Yes.
Okay.
Well, we covered it all.
This was a very air travel heavy show.
But I think I just am tired of people being nervous about something that I'm just like,
this isn't a big deal.
But I get that because I used to be that way too.
But as someone who does it a lot,
it's not that much to worry about.
You're going to make your flight.
It's going to be okay.
Yeah, and come see us in Florida this weekend,
19th and 20th,
Fort Pierce, Daytona Beach.
And then I'm going to be in Atlanta soon
and many other cities,
NikkiGlaser.com,
including the Hollywood Bowl
in Los Angeles, California,
May 9th with Taylor Tomlinson,
Michelle Buteau,
and Sarah Silverman.
If you want to plan a trip around that to L.A.,
that is going to be a fun one.
Can't wait.
I'm so nervous.
Who knows what it's going to be like.
But it's Hollywood Bowl day.
Yeah.
I told my voice teacher yesterday.
I was like, oh, and I'm performing at the Hollywood Bowl.
He was like, what?
What?
He goes, what is your life?
And I was like, I know.
It's crazy.
I'm in Baldwin for this little voice lesson, and I'm performing at the Hollywood Bowl in May.
Hey, Baldwin ain't nothing.
Baldwin ain't nothing.
Biggin' bones.
All right, guys.
Thank you guys for listening.
Don't be ca-un-da-da-da-da-da.
Jump the line.
Jump the line.
Jump a jack flash.
