Starting point is 00:00:41 It's Nikki Glaser in St. Louis, in studio, not alone this time. I've been alone for so long in my life. No, sad. But I'm here with my friend Taylor McGraw, who's been on the show a million times before. Welcome back to the show, Taylor. Hey, yo. You look so young. What's going on with you?
Starting point is 00:00:58 What treatments have you been doing? Brian Frangie's also here. Brian, what's up? Yo. Looking the same age as always. That's right. I want to know Brian's treatments. up yo looking the same age as always that's right i don't know brian's treatments i keep saying brian does have amazing skin if you see him in person it is close so his face skin is red dick it's really good um but uh you haven't been doing any treatments is it the
Starting point is 00:01:19 haircut i'm thinking about getting like a bot like a a shorter haircut because i think it makes you look younger yeah i liked your hair like this really mm-hmm i well there was a there's this um netflix documentary about a cult called dancing in the dark and this girl joins a cult this dancing cult on tiktok and she cuts her hair and if you've seen it you know exactly what i'm talking about when she cut her hair it was just a good choice she just looked so cute and usually when girls cut their hair it's no bueno like when the shorter you go the more like less feminine you get and that's just by society's standards and i'm trying to adhere to society's standards i'm gonna do my career all anya's haircuts are perfect everyone yeah they're always good she is just of someone who pays attention like she doesn't never does anything wrong in terms of aesthetics no she's very thoughtful her outfits are well put together so are yours though i mean that's maybe why
Starting point is 00:02:08 you like it um it was my birthday this weekend taylor was not there she was at a funeral that was pre-scheduled for someone who died in january which i don't really understand but that's fine where were you were in kansas the middle of kansas okay and how was that? It was cool. It wasn't too different than here. It's where my boyfriend is from, central Kansas, eight hours from here. So I thought it was going to be kind of scary. That's so long.
Starting point is 00:02:32 It was all right. Eight hours is far. It is kind of far. Six hours is to Cincinnati. We broke it up to drive. You broke up to drive? Yeah, we broke up during it. That's good.
Starting point is 00:02:42 We broke up the drive by stopping. That's an interesting. Sorry I missed it. So they died in January and the funeral was in June? Yeah, because that's when everyone could get together. There's like a bunch of grandchildren in college and stuff. So they all had to wait until they were able
Starting point is 00:02:57 to get... Because it's hard to get to the middle of Kansas. No one lives there anymore. But she's been buried. She was cremated and they like lowered the little ashes down and the boy didn't see it actually we left and the ashes were still sitting there and we drove away and i was like what if someone comes and steals this marble urn only you would think of that that's you would you would steal that marble urn i would i at least would open it my aunt used to steal flowers from grave sites.
Starting point is 00:03:26 I did too. Well, not from grave sites, but just like from the cemetery. You go like cut branches. Oh, she would steal them from the grave sites. She's like, they don't care. She's cool. So I hope you are stealing them from hers. Well, because I would go get them.
Starting point is 00:03:38 You know how they have a sign that says like they're going to be thrown away before this date. I get them. Oh, Lynn. I go get them on that date. Oh. The date that they say they're going to throw them away. Oh, they say they're going to be thrown away before this date. I get them. Oh, Lynn. I go get them on that date. Oh. The date that they say they're going to throw them away.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Oh, they say they're going to, oh, okay. They put like a sign because they want them refreshed. Got it. It's like getting the rolls in the back of a bagel store when they're,
Starting point is 00:03:56 at the end of the day. Yeah. I can't believe things aren't marked down when I go into Whole Foods and I go to the sushi department and I'm like, none of this is lasting
Starting point is 00:04:03 until tomorrow. You're closing in a half hour and all of this is still $14. What do they do with it? I hope they give it to a food bank. Of course they don't. They don't. None of it. It all goes in the trash.
Starting point is 00:04:14 And then I think the dumpsters are like locked up. I mean, they don't want people because everyone would go because it's all... How is the dumpster big enough? Not everyone.
Starting point is 00:04:22 I mean like me. You. All of yous. Lots of people like you would go. But yeah it's um it's disgusting if anyone busty's listening in the foods i don't even tell me what happens with waste i can't even i can't i can't hear about it my psyche can't take it i got the wrong coffee and she was like i'll remake it and i was like no no and she was like insisting and i was like is that gonna go to someone else and sometimes they run out of at starbucks they run out of the hand warmer things, you know, like the cardboard things.
Starting point is 00:04:49 And they'll double cup it. And I go, no, because I get extra hot. I definitely need it in my hands to start. But I guess I got to get calluses on my hands so I don't need them. Because my throat is now calloused and I can suck down an extra hot, like, latte that would burn someone's,'s like just smelling it would burn their uh the insides of their nostril and i suck it down like nothing luke why do you want it extra hot because i want to slow my consumption down because if it is just regular hot i'll drink it in literally i'll drink a venti in a minute i'm just a chugger my dad has always called me one i'm just i consume
Starting point is 00:05:23 things so quickly i'm just quick and so when it's dad has always called me one. I consume things so quickly. I'm just quick. And so when it's extra hot, it slows me down a little bit. But it's got to be. And then sometimes the coffee is burnt because I get it so hot. Why don't you just get coffee that doesn't taste as good or something? It's not as suckable. Well, that's not fun. Well, it could be good.
Starting point is 00:05:39 I mean, this has addictive substances in it. Yeah, it's like it doesn't matter. I will find a way to love it. Like I used to, I was telling my sister yesterday, we got Starbucks and I used to put like eight Splenda. This is like 2006. I was such an anorexic and I would just go and I would have like my one latte a day
Starting point is 00:05:57 and that would like, I'll be all I ate for the day, you know, until it was like witching hour and then I would eat all night. But like I would just have one or like two misos because that's the cheaper version of a latte. It's half coffee, half milk, and it's probably a dollar 50 cheaper.
Starting point is 00:06:11 And so I would get that. And I mean that these prices back then it was probably like two 80 for a venti. And then I would get, I would put in, it started out with like two Splenda and then it just, your tolerance goes down. And I was doing like,
Starting point is 00:06:23 I would have to like hide it and like take do four at the bar and then if someone saw me I'd take four extra and like save them it was insane and it would never stop it would just be like okay then I'm just gonna be just snorting Splenda eventually and so I had to back down and now I'm at now I just have one Stevia
Starting point is 00:06:39 is Splenda the same as Stevia? no Splenda's like sucralose aspartame and then Stevia that's not good yeah Splenda the same as Stevia? No, Splenda's like sucralose. Aspartame. And then Stevia is bad. Yeah, Splenda's bad. That's why you're so youthful. Sweet and low bad. Because you're pickled from the inside. I know.
Starting point is 00:06:52 We were just talking about how you are what you eat and how I feel like I'm just so dry. I need to eat more fats, but it's so ingrained in me that fat is bad because of the 90s brainwashing for diet culture that i just when i see too much fat in something i just am too what about if you're just eating an actual avocado that i literally think the thing that okay like if it's guacamole and i look at the thing and it says fat i literally think there will be guacamole on my thighs like it will be
Starting point is 00:07:21 like the guacamole will go into my thigh and it'll be the texture of it because it's like fat it's just so it's so don't eat cottage cheese but i oh i love cottage cheese so much i miss it but i do think yeah that you that it will add to a lump layer on my thigh yeah but it's just fattier than you'd think i i realized that the other day too what the fuck i thought you can get zero but it is healthy because fat is thought it was healthy. You can get zero, but it is healthy because fat is healthy. But you can get zero, you can get nonfat cottage cheese and then that has like a lot of sugar
Starting point is 00:07:52 and just bullshit in it. Yeah. Sugar is what makes you. I'm drinking coconut water right now, but it's like, has kind of pulp in it, which I love. I love pulp.
Starting point is 00:08:03 It's so good. I got it at Trader Joe's. Let's see how much fat. 8% of my, 6 grams of fat. It's so good. I got it at Trader Joe's. Let's see how much fat. 8% of my... 6 grams of fat. That's pretty good. Saturated fat, 6 grams. Saturated is the one that you don't want, right? No, you do want. You don't want trans fat. Oh, shit. No, saturated fat's bad, too. Yeah, saturated's bad. Oh, no, no.
Starting point is 00:08:17 That's 90s. That's 90s. Really? Yeah, saturated fat is good for you. No, saturated fat leads to heart disease. That's incorrect. All right. I challenge you. Really? Yeah. Saturated fat leads to heart disease. Incorrect. All right. Well, thankfully, we don't have anyone to fact check. So we'll just leave that there for someone else to DM us later.
Starting point is 00:08:39 But yeah, that's I'm going to try to because I want to be more supple and I want to like look not so dry and husky. Yeah, I'm a husk too. Because I feel like you are what you eat. And like if I'm eating rice cakes, I'm going to look like a rice cake. And my hair is going to break off like rice cakes. If you're eating avocado, then you'll be like lush.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Creamy and like Salma Hayek. Yeah. I just want to look like, I bet she eats a lot of avocados. Yeah. But do you ever watch those things of like, no, you don't because you don't have a phone, but like what I eat in a day and like these influencers yeah and i just don't buy it and also it seems
Starting point is 00:09:11 like i just i get i like to eat a lot so i get sad if it's just a small little portion of toast with avocado and i'm like i want more food than that like that's done and because i eat so fast i need meals to take up long time so i need like a big salad so it like 10 salad because then i'm done with my toast and i'm like that's it and i like my stomach isn't full yet because i ate it too fast so i'm just want more put avocado on the salad and then put like a really fatty dressing i hate avocado in a salad like i just hate the consistency of avocado on its own i know you make it like and you blend like make a dressing like a green goddess dressing which can be vegan but then i have to cook and that's just stressing me out because there's like
Starting point is 00:09:48 dirty bowls and chris has a way that he washes certain bowls and i don't really understand the he he does the dishwasher like three times a day he's washing dishes i don't understand because i don't use meal i would never dishwash if i did i just don't i would never even know especially like oatmeal which is gooey and like sticks to the edge. I don't know how you do it. Oh, I know how to do it. You just fill the bowl up with water and then you scrape it out. You like brush it off with the soapy thing.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Oh, the brush thing. The brush thing. And then you just put it in another bowl. Like I don't care if there's residue because it was mine. If it was like someone else's bowl, yeah, I might like brush it really hard and wipe it. But if it's me and there's still residue, just more me. But bacteria is in there.
Starting point is 00:10:30 And we've talked about this a million times. I want to get into my birthday gifts that I got this weekend at my birthday. I have a box of a bag of them. They all fit in a bag. Have you not opened them yet? Or they're, oh, you're just consolidated. I'm just consolidated them
Starting point is 00:10:41 and I wanted to go through them. I got, Kirsten recycled a birthday card from I gave her this when she was turning 14 and I don't know what we don't really get these are a lot of inside jokes in here but she gave me back a card I gave her when she was 14 that said the judge the jury and the prosecution are ready and it says like a courtroom. You are sentenced to a 14th year of life. And then there's a guy, someone's dad. Oh, Trad. Yeah, Trad's dad used to, a guy that we swam at our pool with, was like, he was a lawyer and he would prosecute you.
Starting point is 00:11:17 And we were always making fun of him for being like, he's a southern lawyer who will prosecute. Because we made fun of his son and he said he will persecute persecute we thought he said persecute but we were saying prosecute yeah and i we might i don't even know that he ever said it but we just gave him that character and then we were also we made fun of some girl in high school that she was a mistake we thought that was funny and so it has him saying the stakes are rising and we need 17 identical mistakes i don't know what that's about and then i drew a bunch of these girls that were a mistake we were again we were bullies in
Starting point is 00:11:49 quiet like we would talk we never wasn't bullying it was observing yes that these that girl was probably a mistake we're analysts yeah like she came from she was analyzing yeah she had like fluffy bangs like kind of 80s bangs left over. I don't even know who it was. I literally don't. And then there are two Siamese cats. You remember in the Aristocats, there's like, we are Siamese. And they're sexy cats and they're like, we will sneak in baby bunker. And they wanted to like eat the cat and they wanted to drink.
Starting point is 00:12:22 They wanted to eat the baby or like drink the baby's milk. Oh, they wanted to get the baby out. Cause they used to be the like joy of the family. And then the baby came. So they wanted to kill it. And so I wrote two cats that their tails are like entwined. It says,
Starting point is 00:12:36 we will get in baby bunkies, sneak into womb, plenty jelly for me and some for whom. And then there's, I drew Adam Sandler and he has a yarmulke on it says get on your hanukkah it's time for yarmulke i don't know okay and then i had another guy that was a good guy and he's in a room and he has jinkos on and airwalks and i know they're airwalks because i drew an arrow arrow that says airwalks and there's a lava lamp and a poster that has pot
Starting point is 00:13:02 on it it just says pot and a leaf and then a black light that I wrote black light next to and a 311 poster and Campbell cigarettes. And he says, oh, on my birthday, I get stuff like Guns N' Roses t-shirts and cool video games like Street Fighter. And then we made fun of these girls. I don't even want to say what their names are. I don't remember who they are, but Blah Blah Blah Twins.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Like it's their last name. And I said, the Blah Blah Blah Twins. It's their last name. And I said, The Blah Blah Blah Twins. And then it's two girls in Lisa Frank shirts and they say, How much is that doggie in the window? Tee hee, tee hee. And then there was another girl. There's another guy. I can't read that one. It's too much. I can't.
Starting point is 00:13:39 It's slightly racist, I think. I don't even know. It's not good. Anyway, she just gave me back this card and just wrote i love you nikki on it so she didn't she didn't copy it she gave it back she just gave it back to me and instead of 14th it wrote 40th yeah let me see yeah look at the back is i like i harass i, I know. You know what it is. Okay. So, and then my niece, Poppy, I've been like negotiating with her to get more toys, you know, and cards from her. And she dictated to my sister what to write.
Starting point is 00:14:16 And this is so poetic. The cover of it says, I wish you were here. Okay. She's four, five. And then on the inside it says happy birthday nikki thank you for all the toys i wish you were here for every day and every season wow every beautiful oh my god my dad was like she got that from taylor swift i'm like i don't think so dude i don't even know what that is she got it from like the birds my sister gave me my sister also she got me a taylor

Starting point is 00:14:54 and put it on the bag. Isn't that beautiful? That's cute. And the eyes were so hard to do that she erased them so many times that they went through the paper and she had to cut out eyes, make
Starting point is 00:15:05 eyes separately and paste them on. She could not start over. She just had to commit. And then I got a Taylor Swift golden book, you know, like for little kids.

The Glazers were parents for the first time to a daughter. Oh, this is supposed to rhyme. Sorry. Moving on a few years when something came, when a young sister came, young Lauren Jane. The two were friends until they were not. And in those moments, boy, could they rage.

They had a built-in friend in each other to confide in. Ooh. Before acne and braces and the Glazers were an Ohio breed. Maybe they'd have stayed forever with no real plans to leave.

Starting point is 00:24:23 But with Wikipedia, don't people have to like submit it so like no one just knows what you know discoveries are being made someone could have discovered a new species of bark or something and they wouldn't care no one cares oh this is i thought this is a hall of fame that your school was but this is in your wikipedia page that's well i just looked it up this isn't i i don't know who's in the hall of okay let's look at the actual hall of Fame. Kirkwood High School Hall of Fame. That was just notable Kirkwood. I don't think Macklin's in yet.
Starting point is 00:24:52 But he should be. I was like, Slater is in this Hall of Fame? Yeah, no. There's an Athletics Hall of Fame. An Outstanding Alumni. Okay, let's see. Oh no, this is about how to submit. So it's not even listed anywhere. You might be the first one in it. Okay, let's see. Oh no, this is about how to submit. So it's not even listed anywhere. You might be the first one
Starting point is 00:25:08 in it. No, there's others. Look it, I'm looking at like there's been ceremonies and stuff. Oh, the ceremony I'm going to. Coaches, athletes, Greg Warren! Hey! Wait, he went to your high school? Yeah, Greg Warren went to my high school. Oh, there you go.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Looks like he was inducted last year. Okay, so my friend Greg Warren, he can walk me through the process. He is, I think, 18 years older than us, 17 years older than us. Comedian and wrestler, so he's both. Yes, and he discovered a new type of sea sponge. Oh, wow, the sea sponge, yes. Yeah, he was doing work in a submarine for a while
Starting point is 00:25:45 and discovered that. So that's pretty cool. Yeah. Those are the days. I mean, it does feel good, though, like, to get, like, that actually
Starting point is 00:25:53 meant something to me more than most things of, like, okay, good, my high school. Because that's what inspires all this. We were talking about Enneagram this weekend,
Starting point is 00:26:01 as we always do. And, like, my shock at how like Anya's not like most musicians musicians and actors I'm like I'm just like
Starting point is 00:26:09 why aren't they all threes because why would you want to create art unless it was to like get people to like you no that's a three mindset I know but like
Starting point is 00:26:19 what would inspire anyone to do it otherwise to express their true selves that's my threeness coming yeah but okay okay well here's the thing sublimation no no no no here's where I'll poke I'll poke a hole in it anyone to do it otherwise. That's my brain is coming. Yeah. But okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Well, here's the thing. Sublimation. No, no, no, no, no. Here's where I'll poke a hole in it. Then why don't you just fucking sing in your room alone? Why do you have to disseminate it? Why do you have to get it out there? Well, Anya kind of has that trait of hers because she doesn't really want to, she didn't
Starting point is 00:26:37 want to break through and achieve sort of commercial success. So she says, so she kind of retreated. But why put out an album at all? For money? I mean, musicians don't even make money anymore. That's just not the main reason. The main reason is because you're doing it and then people are telling you it's good
Starting point is 00:26:49 and then you can make money, but you're not doing it specifically to get attention. I understand that now because I don't care about making money and people liking me anymore, but I think initially I don't understand why. Like now that I'm having, like I just had a meeting
Starting point is 00:27:02 with a production company yesterday and I wasn't trying to sound cool, but I was like, I just don't want to company yesterday and I wasn't trying to sound cool, but I was like, I just don't want to do anything. I don't need to do anything. I don't want to stand in a trailer all day. I don't want to write scripts that I'm not inspired by.
Starting point is 00:27:12 I just, I don't, the only reason I want to do something is if it's fun and it's like actually is getting a message out there that I feel like is good. And I'm like,
Starting point is 00:27:20 oh wait, maybe I'm like kind of transitioning out of three. Yeah, you're just not focusing on the main three. Yeah. Well, Brian always says that you're not a traditional three because I don't, I'm like kind of transitioning out of three yeah you're just not focusing on the main three yeah well Brian always says that you're not a traditional three because I don't I'm not showy with things well that would make you more
Starting point is 00:27:32 of a seven but I think you know about this about Enneagrams yeah only recently because we were talking about it yeah yeah but now I'm really into it and yes I think I do think you're a three. I think that you maybe mask some of your threes
Starting point is 00:27:50 with things that sevens might say, but I think deep down inside you're a three. She's seveny. I thought she was a seven at first. What's a seven? Sevens have the dilettantes. They have lots of different things that they pursue, lots of different interests.
Starting point is 00:28:02 They can be scattered. Sevens are like a thrill seeker they get bored easily that's why that's another element of being a seven for you is that you want to jump from thing to thing to thing because you get bored because i get bored you want to just keep moving doing the next thing and keep things exciting but then okay you're never gonna sevens don't really care about getting outside approval if it's boring. So like if you receive an award that you don't really care about, like let's say you received an award for like, I don't know. Hall of Fame at Kirkwood High School. Yeah. Like you receive an award like Hall of Fame at Kirkwood High School.
Starting point is 00:28:37 A seven would be like, would maybe not even show up to the ceremony. Right. But a three would relish the opportunity to be applauded by all of his contemporaries. I don't like to be applauded because I'm embarrassed of it and I think that it's undeserved. I don't like hearing
Starting point is 00:28:55 accolades. I want everyone to privately think I'm amazing, but I don't want to hear about it. You're the three-est three ever. If you're trying to get out of it, you can't. I like being a three. Taylor Swift is a three. I want to be a three. They're threeest three ever if you're trying to get out of it you can't I like being a three Taylor Swift is a three I want to be a three they're called the achiever who doesn't want everyone wants to be a three no I don't want to be a three at all
Starting point is 00:29:12 why wouldn't you want to be a three because I don't I know listeners are being like Nikki thinks everyone wants to be here I don't think that I'm just being hyperbolic you're coming from the mindset of a three when you're asking these questions well Anya made a good point of like everyone when you fill out the when you take the Enneagram quiz or whatever you're asking these questions. Well, Anya made a good point of everyone, when you fill out the, when you take the Enneagram quiz or whatever,
Starting point is 00:29:27 you're instantly like, why? But everyone answers this one. You think everyone's going to be like you. No, you just want, there's different kind of, I want to have people recognize that I'm smart. I want everyone to say, you liked the Enneagram first. Good job for
Starting point is 00:29:43 getting us into the Enneagram. That's important to you. Yes. I don't want people to be- Well, thank you for that. That is true. You did get us into it. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:29:50 I did consult the book that you gave me. I will say I did take the Enneagram test in couples therapy. I want people to say, you're right. I don't want people to say- You want to be right. Or I want to be acknowledged for my brain. Okay. You want a library named after you on a plaque? I want people to be acknowledged for my brain. Okay. You want like a library named after you on like a plaque?
Starting point is 00:30:07 I want people to be, yes, good job, Brian. Wow. I want people to say everything that you've been working so hard on has a value. But I don't want anyone looking at me or any attention. But it's just, mine is so, it's a scale. So like your three hood is much heavier than that you're gonna have different hmm different yes okay that makes sense you're just and you know what else makes you a five taylor is that you have uh you waver between different sides of morality based on what's
Starting point is 00:30:39 practical so like i'll take the urn because why wouldn't i take the urn you know like stuff like that is very practical thinking regardless of what side of the morality is, which is a very five thing to do. I have my own. Yeah, my own ethical code that has nothing to do with anyone other anybody else. And I follow it very strongly. And then ones have their follow an ethical that follow the rules that. Yeah. OK, so wait, let me think what Brian is.
Starting point is 00:31:02 I think Brian is a seven. No. I don't know you that well. No, because a seven would be a thrill seeker and there's nothing I want less than thrills. You like to go to national parks. That's so thrilling. And that's like, you like to go on hikes.
Starting point is 00:31:19 But what is motivating me to go to these parks? That's the question. To scratch off the list of I went to that park. Exactly. Okay, so what is that? Five. No. That makes me a one.
Starting point is 00:31:32 Yeah, I'm a perfectionist. I'm not going to the parks. I want to go to all 63 parks. Yes, got it. But when you get there, aren't you like, and why pick parks though? And then when I go to the park, I have a complete itinerary that I follow. So I make sure that I hit everything to maximize my trip to the park, which is a very one thing to do. Yeah, that's a good point.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Chris is also a one. Chris is a one. Yes, he likes to travel. Why is Chris a one? Chris is very black and white about like things are wrong people are bad or people are good and he would not say this that he realizes that there is a gray area but i think his initial instinct is that if he had a rough time when i would say like you know for instance my ex boy i can't even call him a boyfriend but pete lee i like he broke my heart
Starting point is 00:32:23 i hated him for years and when i met chris i still hated pete and so i talked about him in a way that was like he broke my heart he cheated on his girlfriend with me and then he chose her over me and then he married her and then i'm so glad they'd have i just made this whole story up about how awful he was and then when chris and i broke up in that time that we were broken up i became friends with pete again and then when chris and i got back together i was like pete's great and he was like no he's bad and i'm like everyone's so many chances you and i yeah i'm like no like he's i can forgive anyone and he's forgivable and honestly i was the problem in that scenario and he's just like i don't get that like in my mind he was bad it's hard for me to just suddenly let go of all of that when in my mind he was in
Starting point is 00:33:05 this category and so that's hard for him to transition well the reason why you can forgive anybody is because three's main goal is to get approval from others and so any if anybody disapproves of you you will fight to get their approval even if they're bad oh yeah i mean i definitely have nightmares where my mom witnesses me um be nice to donald trump and she's just disgusted with me even though she would do the same thing because i believe she's kind of a three as well you know what maybe you aren't so bad and i used to have a joke that i um if i you know they always say like if you had a time machine you go back and kill hitler and i'm like yeah i'm gonna go do that and then i come back from the time machine and they're like did
Starting point is 00:33:43 you kill him and i'm like uh yeah yeah and they're like, did you kill him? And I'm like, yeah, yeah. And they're like, wait, what's that? And I'm like, nothing. And they're like, what are you holding? And I'm like, it's his autograph. I'm sorry. I just wanted to, he's scary. And I wanted him to like me.
Starting point is 00:33:55 I want everyone to like me, even if they're bad. I feel like also, if someone's really evil and they like me, I feel like, oh, now I have power over them. And I can do something to control their power. I can get in there and maybe convince them to not be so bad well you know trump's probably a three also oh absolutely so you guys are both yeah but he is also associated though he doesn't have um i have a challenger yeah big oh Big. Oh, really? Oh yeah. Okay, good. I don't want to be him. Yeah. Um,
Starting point is 00:34:26 I will say, can I report a story that happened over the weekend? That was so, it kind of talks about this threeness of wanting them to like me. This guy, I was walking into Starbucks because where else am I walking into? It's like one of two places, my bedroom or Starbucks.
Starting point is 00:34:42 I was walking in and I was really distracted. I was on my phone and I was answering an email i just couldn't get to while i was driving obviously so as soon as i got done driving i'm like in this email and i'm walking with my phone blindly into the store i open the door the door pushes into the restaurant so it opens in right the door is in and i'm step one foot into the restaurant and i see that there's a guy like right about to leave right like so i kind of like as he was about to pull the door i pushed it so he's right there what would you do in that circumstance there's someone right there oh you're back out of the store or do you quickly go around him and go sorry go around him and go sorry because you're
Starting point is 00:35:20 already in the store right you have the right of way like you're a car that pulled out too soon you're like fuck i'm sorry you just instead You're like, fuck, I'm sorry. You just, instead of backing up and being like, like making a big, you just go faster around. I would say sorry like 10 times though, to be fair, but I would go around. Okay. So that's what I did. I just go, oh, sorry.
Starting point is 00:35:37 And I, and I quickly scooted and I even pushed the door out so he would have a little, like he wouldn't have to get it again. You know, like I, I like flung the door so he would get it and then i quickly went in front of him and around and neither is ideal because i did was walking blindly looking at my phone and he goes oh that's how it's gonna be and by the way this guy was carrying one drink in a tray like he had a tray for four drinks and he had one drink in it so it'd be a one and he was maybe wearing a poly hat um taylor has defined people that are in Polly-Amherst relationships that they wear
Starting point is 00:36:07 Polly hats, which are just like a fedora. Usually a fedora or a newsboy hat. No, it's extra extra. Yeah, newsboy. I feel like if you're wearing a fedora or a newsboy hat. It's a flat cap. A flat cap? Yeah, it's not fedora.
Starting point is 00:36:24 It's newsboy. you could wear a fedora if you wanted to he had a fedora what were you gonna say brian if you're like those people have don't have sex at all i know but some i know why are they poly when they don't we call it poly hats for some reason because taylor was like oop like she was just really going nuts on polys the couple years because my my partner was saying they wanted to be poly well i didn't want to reveal that okay people were gonna come into my house wearing those hats what hell no wait okay i recently was like am i poly and i was so disgusted with the idea of being poly because you have made them out to be so good i mean you see i'm sure there's plenty of poly
Starting point is 00:37:04 people that are fine but there are also a large portion you have to admit that wear those hats i i don't know that's true but i think they're magicians oh my god we're watching we're watching a couple's therapy on showtime which is like anya's favorite show it's this woman who's a therapist named orna and she talks to these couples and this season there's a poly couple and guess what the woman who's in the poly relationship does for a living i mean therapist no no like it's around what you were just saying like what's the crazy like if you're writing a character of a woman who's in a poly relationship rope walker oh my god she's she's a circus see i know about poly
Starting point is 00:37:41 from analyzing my whole life. She does. She does like archery with her feet. You know what I'm saying? Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's very Polly. From a trapeze. And she's so Polly.
Starting point is 00:37:52 And like she'll have a braid and it's this really long, luscious braid. But she'll put a wire through it so that it'll go like. So the braid will like be zigzaggy. Now, I feel like. I feel like you're allowed to make fun of poly people because you choose to be poly. It's not like gay or lesbian. You're just born that way. No, you're born that way. I would say they would say
Starting point is 00:38:11 they're born that way. They're born to want to be poly? That's a lifestyle choice. No, they're not conforming to monogamy. But it's still a choice. We all probably are poly and we're all conforming. It's a trait. It's a trait of your personality. it's still a choice. We all probably are poly and we're all conformed. It's a trait. It's a trait of your personality.
Starting point is 00:38:27 It's not a disability. No, but... It's not a sexuality. I don't think it's a sexuality. I think it's a lifestyle. It's like you could choose to be emo. You're not born emo. Maybe you feel like you're emo. It's the same thing as being emo. You can make fun of an emo person
Starting point is 00:38:43 because they chose that. Or you can celebrate them if you're emo. It's the same thing as being emo. You can make fun of an emo person because they chose that or you can celebrate them if you want to. I will say it leads to some pretty interesting dynamics. I celebrate a lot of things. In a poly relationship, they have a primary partner, but they've changed the name to anchor so that it doesn't have a hierarchy ranking. Which makes sense to me.
Starting point is 00:38:59 The anchor is on the bottom scraping on barnacles. This poly guy with a tray that had one drink in it. I'll tell you what happened after we get back from break.

Because they want to fill the landfill. Yeah, I just don't understand what was happening there. I mean, who would say that's how it's going to be?
Starting point is 00:40:13 He goes, that's how it's going to be? And he looked, he just seemed like a theater nerd. Like he had like a weird mustache and he just seemed like someone who builds sets in high school musicals. You got to be careful now. We all know what they're like. You got to be careful now. We all know what they're like. You got to be careful, Nikki, with these interactions
Starting point is 00:40:27 because any one of these interactions could turn into an article where Nikki Glaser's a bitch. She knocked my drink out of my hand. That is not why I wasn't a bitch in this scenario. It was not on my mind that I could be recognized. It's not at that level yet. But I will say that I just was like trying i saw this fucking reel a couple weeks ago and i think i've talked about it already but it said what if you let everyone off the hook for
Starting point is 00:40:53 everything oh i always what if you did this what if you let yourself off the hook for things what if you left your husband off the hook for that thing he didn't do hitler autograph i mean honestly like what if you let everyone off the hook like just try what would happen and i've been trying to do it more consciously when i find myself getting into but you already did that that's like something you don't need help with you already no i no i i hold on to things and i'm like why could they do this if they behave that way i'm talking about my relationship then i can't be with someone that ever would say like this i i just go like that's gonna be my whole life is that someone that didn't
Starting point is 00:41:31 even notice that i got a haircut and he did notice and he didn't say the right like shit like that that's not that's just an example i'm making up but like i go into like if they have a it's again they've showed they're just i kind of get into one territory if they're like they're bad i can't but then you think about it and analyze the situation and then i just go wait what the fuck i am so fucked up there are so many things about my personality that i would never recommend anyone being in a relationship if they said that this partner was this and this i'd be like get away from her so. But you gotta forgive people for things and literally no one's gonna be perfect
Starting point is 00:42:08 and I know that everyone is supposed to know that but I just kinda didn't know it until recently but I've just been letting things go. I just like let, I don't, especially in my relationship, things that used to bother me, I'm just like doing what this girl said in this reel and saying like, what if I just let him off the hook for that? Let's try for the next minute to let him off the hook and then a minute later i don't
Starting point is 00:42:26 remember what it even was or if i do i go let me do one more minute of letting him off the hook oh i'm still mad about it okay maybe i do need to talk about it so this guy so because i've been doing it consciously it's been happening quicker you know like i can just go to it you're practicing it so this guy goes oh that's how it's gonna be and i he thought i wasn't gonna say anything he kind of said it under his breath in a way that i maybe wouldn't hear my my earphones were in but he didn't know i wasn't listening to anything so i go yeah it is i go i'm sorry and he goes i go i was on my phone so i didn't see you i literally didn't i would never have stepped in front of you i didn't see you because i was on my phone he goes you know what and that's the problem that right there
Starting point is 00:43:07 was probably i go hey you off the hook no and i go it is a problem this is a problem and thank you for my i needed this reminder that i need to get out of my phone i go thank you for this lesson today and he just like baffled and confused just mumbled to himself and walked out like it was completely diffused he couldn't tell if i was being a bitch or not because i couldn't even tell because saying thank you for this lesson sounds sarcastic but it actually was like i was two in my phone like this isn't well you said thank you for this lesson professor genius then you curtsied yeah yeah that maybe put it over the edge but he didn't know what to do and it could have escalated um but my wow my adrenaline went up so much with that confrontation holy fuck my
Starting point is 00:43:52 body felt like it was on fire yeah i feel like i actually have seen red when somebody just says something stupid it's crazy but we never really confront anyone like that's why we can just be we're so divided i think because we can just be assholes all the time in our cars and we and online and we never actually talk to one another and see each other's side of things and that's what i did in that moment i felt like it really helped seeing each other's side of things is definitely something but i confront people constantly yeah i feel like that's another three things to think is that you don't, I always confront people. Do you do it like snarky or do you
Starting point is 00:44:29 like actually face to face go, No, I hear out their side, I argue my side and I try to convince them of my side. Yes.
Starting point is 00:44:36 Well, final thought. One time Brian and I got into a really intense like argument, like debate. I would say it was a debate about free will.
Starting point is 00:44:46 No, no, no. It was in front of, it was on FBoy Island, which he was writing on and producing on. And so he was in, it was in my dressing room, pretty much my room that I was living in over the summer. And my makeup and stylist girls were in the room and they were just like so awkward because they were like, oh my God, this is getting so heated.
Starting point is 00:45:04 But Brian and I were like thriving in it. It doesn't have to be like it's scary to everyone else. Having so much fun with it. When was the last time you confronted someone Brian? Well I mean I call my friend Rob Stern almost every day and then we argue
Starting point is 00:45:20 about something every phone call. Do you ever walk away from that having your mind changed? Rarely. I think nine times out of 10, my mind's not changed, but every one out of 10, it is. What's his Enneagram number? I've been thinking about that and I can't figure it out.
Starting point is 00:45:38 Because that's an interesting relationship. Send him the quiz. Well, I, this weekend, talked to a friend of mine about something with her and her husband and she she was like when she loses things all the time and misplaces her own stuff so she lost her wallet for a couple weeks because she accidentally put it in her daughter's bag like her backpack when she was cleaning like you know just like add stuff yeah forgot it obviously didn't know she put it in there would never even looked but that's where it ended up
Starting point is 00:46:04 being for like three weeks and then they eventually found it but in that three weeks he lent her his credit card because she was trying she knew she didn't like it didn't get stolen her wallet was going to show up so she used his credit card and then he was can i get my credit card back and she looked in her bag that she put it and she was like oh it's not here i'll find it and he was just like he kind of blew up like how do you keep losing everything? And now you've lost my thing. And he's like, you need to be better about this. And she's just like, I am the way I am. Like, I can't remember to remember things.
Starting point is 00:46:32 And I said, well, maybe you ask him for help. I'm like, if this was happening with me and Chris, Chris would be like, I'll get you a little like sensor to put in your wallet so that you can have an app on your phone. Chris would find a way that fits the way I think. But instead her husband was just like, just think more like I do. And she's like, well, I don't have an app on your phone. Chris would find a way that fits the way I think. But instead, her husband was just like, just think more like I do.
Starting point is 00:46:47 And she's like, well, I don't have the same brain as you. And they just come to a head. And then she gets really defensive. Like, I didn't mean to. And you know what? You're so mean. And she gets immediately defensive. So then I told her to do the thing
Starting point is 00:47:00 that I always do with Chris, which is like, or like with really anyone I'm arguing with, especially my sister when we used to fight, I used to, she used to say, I hate you. And I would say, I know exactly how you feel because I hate you. She'd be like, I literally wouldn't care if you died. And I was like, Lauren, it's so weird
Starting point is 00:47:17 because I know that exact feeling. Like, I want you to die. And she's like, I want you to die. And we'd like find a common ground. But I was like, your husband is getting just as frustrated he can't believe when you lose his credit card he's thinking you don't love him like you you are taking his property and being like willy-nilly with it you're so when you don't put that credit card back in a place you know it will be found you're not caring about him and that's
Starting point is 00:47:40 what it feels like and so when he yells at you about this the way that you feel like how could he yell at me like this how could he talk to me like this that's so disrespectful it's literally the same way he feels about you losing his credit card and you both don't mean to do it to each other because no one really wants to make someone else feel horrible unless you know but it is a shaming thing like the shame but she was like oh that a good point. Just try to see from their perspective. Because generally, if you're frustrated with someone, they're just as frustrated with you. And you have that in common.
Starting point is 00:48:11 And that's helped me. Like that guy hated me as much as I hated him. For real. I don't understand what the problem was. Because I just like cut in front of, I didn't see him. And that guy is aging. He's probably not feeling, he never got seen by women. Here's another woman. And I'm like, bitch, bitch i just turned 40 i'm about to not be seen the technology
Starting point is 00:48:30 thing probably pisses him off too but everyone's down their phones now and yeah that's another thing up in new york uh when i lived in new york city there there were people who would paint on the sidewalk look up like so that to like get you to like, stop looking down at your phone. Sorry, I'm looking at my phone, not the sidewalk. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:50 You're not looking at your shoes. Yeah. Emo. There, and then there's this other thing I've been doing that. I mean, there are some things you get from your phone that have been helpful. I think I shared this too,
Starting point is 00:49:01 but I guess I'll just repeat it. But when I'm really having a hard time, if you talk to yourself in third person, it's supposed to really work. As opposed to saying, like, you've got this. Like, keep going. Like, when I'm in these really hard, stupid Pilates classes, and I'm like, I want to give up, I just go,
Starting point is 00:49:17 Nikki, you can do this, Nikki. You're amazing, Nikki. I say Nikki in my head. And so in that, it's supposed to, there's been studies that motivate you so much more if you say your name and you talk to yourself like you're a friend. Then if you just are like, good job, you.
Starting point is 00:49:32 Or whatever. I concur. I agree with this statement. I feel like it works for me too. I call myself Bri even, which is like a... Oh, that's loving. Yeah, I go, come on, Bri. You can do this. When have you done that to yourself? Like working out, you're talking about or like when do you need to do that the last time
Starting point is 00:49:48 I recall doing it was when I was confronting death in the shower again and I was screaming and then I said Bri you just got to stop thinking about it just make an agreement that you're not gonna you don't have to think about it for a year it's okay for a year oh that's interesting yeah like do that test of like let's
Starting point is 00:50:04 you know we'll revisit this later yeah you can always get back to it yeah and then yeah constant just yeah just anything really anything that you're trying to push yourself through you're trying to redirect your attention i've been trying to just let go i mean i've read that book letting go i didn't finish it because i just need to absorb it all i haven't let go with the book even but i'm just fine that when i let go like my relationship has improved so much since i've just done this thing of like letting people off like letting go like just stop trying to control the whole theme here off the hook like it's totally true if you just let go but then i also realize that so many of my achievements are not from letting go they're from working very hard
Starting point is 00:50:44 and putting a ton of pressure on myself so i just don't know which is which but i do know that with singing i'm like really hitting a roadblock i'm so disappointed with myself i sang the thing about singing is we did karaoke this weekend for my birthday and i love it so much but i always suffer a depression after the night after like when i go home and sleep none of my friends know this that's saying with me but i go through a depression because i don't sound as good as i want to sound and i'm like taking lessons you sound like though it's karaoke i can hear myself there's a microphone it's amplified and everyone knows when i sing on my you know when you do good like people say wow like the room quiets and people actually listen like it's a performance yes like my dad gets showered with accolades when he sings because he's a really good singer.
Starting point is 00:51:27 So I know what the bar is. I know what people will say when you're good. And I'm not expecting that. Like I'm not like no one said it was good. Please to the girls listening from the girls chat. Yeah. You did not disappoint me by not saying I was good singer. I want it when I deserve it.
Starting point is 00:51:40 But I just didn't deserve it. You can see through the bullshit anyway. Yeah. Oh, and they would never placate me like that i i really trust them not to but because i can see through all of yeah i could see through it they'd be like you're great good job but i just went to a voice lesson today and it was just another he's just like you your voice is in you you are just like holding it back because you're so scared of what it will sound like if you let go of it.
Starting point is 00:52:07 You're not like, you want it, you have it on a leash. So I have to be like non-monogamous with my voice, like the way I want to be with, like I always talk about non-monogamy of like, I don't really care, like I wouldn't care if Chris hooked up with another girl because I don't want him to obviously, but to me he has the option which he never would
Starting point is 00:52:26 go through with but he does have the option to me because I don't I want a dog that's off leash I want a dog that chooses to be with me even though it has free range chicken but my voice I'm so scared of it sounding bad that I'm always like keeping it in so I've been doing a lot of manifestations of letting go and trying to i'm like really deep in the manifestation community neville goddard have you heard of him have you ever gotten into that oh my god well it's based in like science and physics and quantum physics i believe it and it like you can have you can like get money from manifesting okay i'll do It's crazy, but it's not easy to do. I mean, I've done like, I have money,
Starting point is 00:53:06 I have this, I have a new sob, and then you write it in the, that's manifesting. But you have to like, feel it though. You have to believe. The problem is,
Starting point is 00:53:14 I can't convince myself it's already happened. I've already manifested one thing, it's happening, I'm not even gonna say what it is because I've already did it and it hasn't, it is happened.
Starting point is 00:53:24 There's just no way it's not gonna happen because I'm so sure of it. So I don't need to manifest that one anymore. But there are ones, like I'm trying to manifest being a good singer and it's just not, every time I do it, I do these, it's right before you go to sleep. You're supposed to do it right before you fall asleep. There's like this window where you're in kind of like a twilight, you know, right before you fall asleep, but you're like still awake that's where your body's really relaxed enough to change change your life and and project all these changes into your physical matter like you
Starting point is 00:53:53 can get bigger boobs from doing it like people have reported clear skin overnight bigger boobs in 15 minutes like this shit will happen if you tap into the but it's really hard to do because you have to relax completely and you have to fucking believe that it's already is real. You don't have to believe like, what would it be like to have big boobs? Like, whoa, they're growing. You have to like feel in your body you have big tits
Starting point is 00:54:16 and know what that would feel like and feel that. Why is it big tits the thing that you show? I don't know. I'm just like picturing like a thing that. Well, that's what most people manifest. This one girl on my subreddit was about Neville Goddard, who was the guy that created this kind of form of manifestation. She was like, I had a bra that was too big,
Starting point is 00:54:32 and I just decided to like, oh, what if I just tried to get... Let me just... Instead of returning this, because it's such a hassle to return, I'll just see if I can do a 15-minute manifestation. And then the boobs fit into the bra? Yes. And she was like, I thought it would be like maybe a week of doing it.
Starting point is 00:54:47 She was like, I tried it on later because I literally didn't have another bra to wear and it was 15 minutes later, my boobs fit in it. Wow, that sounds insane. Who knows if this shit is real? Okay, I'm going to have to try this.
Starting point is 00:54:56 But I really do. I am a skeptic about everything and I think that there's something to this. I mean, you maybe subconsciously directed your brain to send more like fluid to the tits to make them bigger. I think you do probably have control over things within your own body to a degree.
Starting point is 00:55:13 Yeah. So maybe it's possible. I think there's something to it. I'm about to purge so much stuff. Taylor, we got to go. Yes, the purge. Taylor is going to get rid of... That suitcase is filled with purge.
Starting point is 00:55:23 And then there's another suitcase that's filled with Purge but I want to go through another one and just make a pile of Purge stuff. Yeah. I just want to get rid of everything in my life. You got to get rid of your Purge DVDs. I'm so sick of cords.
Starting point is 00:55:35 I'm excited about this. I just got to get rid of the Purge DVDs that she has. No, I'm keeping those. Too many. I got a new computer. I got a new phone today and I'm getting a new car soon.
Starting point is 00:55:46 And I'm just upgrading all the things that will keep my life simple. I'll take this cash payout of $2. It's a good purge. Oh, is that a... Yeah, great. There's a scratcher ticket right over there. Oh, yeah. Take it.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Getting rid of that. Getting rid of that $2. This is like literally spring cleaning. Letting go. This is what's happening. Yes. It's spring still. Or is it summer now? rid of that getting rid of that two dollars this is like literally spring cleaning you're letting go this is what's happening yes it's spring still or is it summer now it's not so summer till 21st always so good spring cleaning i'm getting rid of stuff i just it's too much that i'm feeling cluttered i'm feeling too small in my space gotta get rid of stuff um even though i did go to target yesterday and i got some new stuff you can one in one out okay you gotta get rid of stuff even though I did go to Target yesterday and I got some new stuff
Starting point is 00:56:25 one in one out you gotta get rid of old shit I gotta get rid of t-shirts but what do you do with t-shirts that have sentimental value you just put them at the thrift store and let it go let go it's hard I know because you have t-shirts from like every show you've done
Starting point is 00:56:41 I have one container for sentimental t-shirts and that's where all the sentimental t-shirts go or sentimental things even. Yeah, one bin. You don't want to get rid of all, like I still have shirts from like the deli I worked at at high school or
Starting point is 00:56:57 like my improv group in college. I don't want to get rid of those. I really wish I had high school shirts. Because one day there will be like a Nicky Museum and you can frame them all. I do want things. Yeah, but I just... Just make sure it's a bin. And then if it gets too full,
Starting point is 00:57:10 you go through and you go, look, I don't really need this. Okay, we got to go stack some... We got to go stuff some... Stack and bins. Sentimental stuff in bins. Thank you guys for listening to the podcast. We will be here next week on the show.
