It's the Nikki Glaser Podcast chat weekends yeah it's uh it's holla everyone you know where's holla her name is not that but it's holla her last name's holly so in high school we called her holla and then um and then somehow it just went to us saying i was actually yesterday when i got into town, I went upstairs to my old bedroom and found my yearbooks. And someone, I can't remember who, signed it. I don't even know how to say this sound.

Yeah. We usually do an umlaut over the U, even though we don't know what that means. Yeah, no. We're not German. But some random person from high school, like some guy was like, I don't even know what this sound was basically just to say everyone called me that yeah even your nephews call you holla because you were telling some story on girls chat and someone or not even your nephew yeah it was a friend's son but he called you holla yeah yeah because it was someone i know from college does your dad call you holla my dad yes he still answers the phone hey hey how do you officially spell it

how do you officially spell great question noah i think we spell it h-u-l yes here is h-u-l i spell holla h-o-l-l-a because my last name was holly with an o but somehow kirsten nicky spelled with an a anyway let's get on to something more yeah. Oh, yeah, I guess we do spell it with an A. Yeah. Yeah. But Holla's here, everyone. Hello. She's in town. Brian's here. Hey, Brian.

Hello. And Noah's back as she was yesterday. Oh, whoo. Noah, I didn't even realize you were in New York. You told a story in Girls Chat about being in New York. And I was like, what? So you've been there for a month at your dad's? Yeah, because it's such a big thing to travel here and we wanted to show Toby off to the family but it's coming to

and we're going home soon okay wow how has that been it's kind of like being at home except on the weekends we get to see family okay so you never get a break? Uh, well, I mean, like, Avi... Yeah, yeah, like, Avi will take Toby and stuff and give me a little bit of a break. But yeah, pretty much it's just baby mode. Baby mode. And does your dad work? Or are you guys, like, with him all day? No, no, he works. He leaves early and comes home, like, in the evening. So it's just basically the house. I still have a brush you gave me from your dad.

Oh, really? Yeah. He liked like work sounds weird were you making a like a ouija doll what are those called a voodoo doll a voodoo doll a he like works for uh what does he do he works for moroccan oil yeah oh okay so she gave me a bunch of products including this brush and like i have a brush from your dad when I was making the voodoo doll to use his hair. It's so weird. The brushes I use in my life come from the weirdest places. I don't think I have any brushes that I've bought myself.

It's the one Noah's dad gave me I still use. That's the one I use to roll out and blow dry your hair to make it. You don't know. Don't nod like you fucking know what I'm talking about. Well, I know you do it. I've seen you do it. Yeah, where you bend. You roll it. Some people don't know don't nod like you fucking know well i know you do it i've seen you yeah where you like i don't know like you roll it yeah some people don't like the hot roll i don't even know what it's called you just put the hair dryer close to it and you burn your

hair and you um and that's when when there's steam coming off your hair you know you're doing it right and then um the other brush i have is from this weird guy that came to my show in la years ago and it was at the meet and greet and everyone who was he made it to the end of the line which is what weirdos always do because they want extra time with you and they not every weirdo he brought he had a bag of things to give me and they were all like secondhand things there were some jeans that had like like you know they were like 2008 jeans with like and they were used he had a pair of girls jeans that he got at like goodwill he gave those to me he was just a crazy person and i was like oh my gosh thank you so much you

know like just being nice but the brush stuck around when he reached his bag before he started pulling out all these different things we literally thought he was gonna kill me like i remember everyone kind of like did like i remember matt my tour manager was watching like and kind of freaking out like do I tackle this guy right now? Because he's really searching this bag a really long time. We don't know what he's about to pull out, but he had something for you. It's like the way someone would, before they kill you, they're like, and I have one last thing for you. Oh, I can't find it.

Boom. Is that the weirdest thing that's happened at a meet and greet? Probably not. I think I've had... Behind random fondles. Yeah um beyond like random fondles yeah there's random fondles i think there's been it's a great movie on netflix just clusters of fondles um there's been yeah there's just been like uncomfortable moments of like someone asking me to do something and i just go no and then it gets kind of weird because they ask me for a video or they ask

me for let's can I do that can I simulate like I'm going down on you like they do funny oh my god you know or like will you get on your knees and can I lift you up just stuff like that that I'm just like I just don't feel like being touched in that way right now or you know

yeah yeah but that's crazy or but people have some can we do something funny and i go i'm out i don't have any more funny ideas i just perform for an hour i'm tired you tell me i literally go get out yeah give me a hairbrush so this guy gave me a hairbrush and everyone after the show was like, don't use that. But it wasn't used. It didn't have a tag on it or anything, but it wasn't, it didn't have any hair in it. You can clearly see if a brush is used.

Was he bald? And he gave, in all this trash he gave me, he gave me like a coloring book that was half colored and like an old map and like some rosary beads and an old pair of jeans. And then he gave me this hairbrush. I still use it. And this was three and a half years ago. It's the best brush I've ever had. And everyone goes, you should throw that out this was three and a half years ago it's like the best brush i've ever had and everyone goes you should throw that out and i'm like no it's it i unless

there's actual unless i can see that it's been used i'm gonna it's kind of a good brush and that is the brush i use every single day including the one that noah's dad gave me like i can't use brushes i'd never intentionally have bought a brush for myself and and used it and then i love it um but yeah so uh oh what was i guess oh so you came into town yeah well i was gonna say like this guy was for sure at the show last night he sounds like oh yeah he was i came in town yeah to go see the fish concert and this guy was definitely a Phish fan. This sounds like a Phish fan. Wait, can I go back really quick? Noah, do you have tons of family in New York?

Are you just inundated with, thank God this dog came to sit in my lap. This is all I wanted. No, this doesn't feel so good. Yeah. So on the weekends, you're seeing family. Do you have so many family members in New York who you didn't want to see? I don't have a big family, but the family that I do have here

is just family that we enjoy spending time with. Oh, shit. No, we're throwing the uncles under the bus. Shots fired. Yeah. Oh, so that implies that there's some family you don't like spending time with. What?

I'm in trouble. Uncle Dylan's a piece of shit. She she did not say that she didn't say that i said that um yeah i uh lajala's in town she lives in arkansas but she's in town to go see fish because her husband's a huge fish fan and they they go to concerts all the time yeah we go to a lot of shows um and we came in for this and last night we went with nikki and chris and there was a lot of good content had um i thought that the people watching would be great but we were in a box yeah so we were kind of removed boxes are amazing like they're amazing but you are not at the concert we were not i know that's you're not talking to john about and i've said this before about taylor Swift box when we were there in Chicago. I go, I didn't like I was like, this isn't the concert. No, we

didn't have the experience. But I was happy being a box at Fish because I don't care about Fish. So I was okay with like not. I don't care about Fish either but I think tonight is going to be like on a fun factor. Tonight I'll have a lot of fun.

I'll get in. I would have a good dance. I was wanting to be in the crowd last night though. I would have been into fish and like, I probably would have been more sold on the whole experience. Had I been in the crowd because it's like the whole point of a fish concert is to emerge yourself in the community, smoke a bunch of weed and dance to repetitive music for 17 hours.

Exactly. And it was pretty funny too. one of nikki's first comments was like our fish fans notorious for just not having rhythm like the dancing i couldn't find one person with rhythm that's going to that even the band wasn't on beat like there didn't seem to be rhythm and no obviously the band was incredible um but they uh yeah no one in the crowd seemed to be moving in sync with anything except it's just a flail yeah it's a flail yeah it's a flail it's a rocking it's a um it's like some people seem to be having the dts uh it was just a lot of shaking and flailing and um but it's free and i was like oh this is taylor this is aristore yeah this is

taylor swift yeah i sent you that meme that said like taylor swift is a jam band oh yeah that's right i mean it's it it in the way that it i i feel to my ears it all sounds the same and i know people say that about taylor swift these people seem to they all try to dress the same. They dress up in their own way for it. No one's feet were covered at this show. The more barefoot, the better. I wore like a slight heel and it was, I felt like I was dressed for the Met Gala. Like I wore tight jeans and a slight heel and like a fitted top. And it was, i felt so ridiculous

i felt like i was like looked like i was going to get married actually compared to whatever else that guy who gave you the brush wasn't at the show because brushes aren't allowed no if you brushed your hair you can't be there there it was it was really and as much as i felt overdressed i didn't feel judged or anything for not being like a true fish fan. Like I didn't feel I think I've been doing enough era shows that I just feel like the way I feel when people don't seem to be dressed for the occasion. I was just like, I'm just happy that person's here. They're going to like absorb some of the whole fish thing is everyone's just happy and welcoming. And that's the whole point.

Have you have you been to a fish show? No, never. But are there? I have a Phish friend. I have a Phish friend who I've sat down and watched Phish concerts live streamed with him. Yeah, they live stream every single show. Yeah, yeah. So I just know the vibe, but I've never gone.

Is there a band that you've been to multiple concerts of? Well, I've seen John Williams at the bowl uh six years in a row but i'm i'm gonna stop going who is john williams soundtrack he's a music composer he composed a lot of like uh really popular movies like jaws and star wars and harry potter oh and he plays with a symphony yeah i mean his orchestra plays and they usually play clips over and it's usually a really big deal and it's been happening every year since like i don't know it's been happening for like 50 years every year at the hollywood bowl are you guys called willies what are fans of john williams called yeah we're called uh yeah we're called willies there's big willies

and little willies i asked last night like what are fish fans called and they looked like i was fucking they guys like they were like what what does fish fans called? And they looked like I was fucking crazy. They were like, what? What does that mean? And I go, what do you call yourselves? And they were like, and then someone goes, like, the way Taylor Swift fans call themselves Swifties. And they were like, we don't have that. And I go, or the Grateful Dead calls themselves Deadheads. Do maybe you have that?

And then it was like, oh, yeah, I know what you mean. Now it's like, it's not a dumb thing to call people something. The Deadheads do it. Fish fans. i really think they're and they said fans and i go no that's that's okay in writing but like you can't say to each other like are you a fan like but i think that's what fan do you say with a fan like i just why wouldn't you give yourselves a fun name like fishies i don't know hollow last night we took a picture and in the picture i like i sent to the

girls chat and her stomach was kind of like out like you you looked like you had like eaten dinner which you did and you were like guys announcement i'm pregnant and in the fish community we call it i'm having a guppy i was laughing so hard she's pregnant with a little guppy over here i love that you guys went to terror tacos oh yeah we went to terror tacos i know i said noah would be loving this it was a it was a horror theme horror movie themed taco vegan taco joint yeah they had and metal and they had metal music playing yes so it was metal music i instantly had to put earplugs in as soon as we walked in because everyone at the table screaming like we're at a concert and i'm like why are we here

when we're about to go to a concert and scream over loud music it was just like it was a little much for me but um and they're playing like horror movies on tvs it was delicious by the way terra tacos shot out delicious food the decor is just like horror themed like there's posters up and it's all black black paint on the walls with like red streaks get rid of the cobwebs there's like fake cobwebs everywhere even though you know they're fake you can't in your brain separate cobwebs from being it means dirty good point i'm so unobservant i did not even know there were cobwebs everywhere i didn't even know oh my god it was covering all the walls interesting yeah but it was really delicious and i'll i can't wait to go there again it was so freaking good thank god the

food's good otherwise it would just be like insane yeah you can really get away with all these like niche bullshit around yeah it was for sure gonna be hit or miss um it was no but like we had to try it ambiance not it's it's a probably a negative three for ambiance i would get takeout from there but i don't think i will ever eat there again no offense because it's some some people would love that vibe i go to tara tacos for the music i just i would for me for a restaurant, ambiance is probably more important than the food. Like a good patio or a good quiet setting with good lighting. And if the food was just fine,

I would rather go, if the food was terrible, no. But if it's fine, I would rather that than great food in a place that feels like a shitty music venue bathroom disagree and this is this is a this is not a fight but like a difference of opinion this is a difference of opinion between me and my wife ali she loves ambiance i love food i would like i i would like go to the soup nazi like the soup nazi is like my ideal place it's just only the food is good and if the food is good i will walk over a bed of nails

to get it i don't care i just get takeout i don't want to sit sure it's fine my food can be ruined if i'm like if there's it's too loud or it just feels dirty or you feel like the staff doesn't like you oh yeah and that they're annoyed that you're there which i get it because you're not getting paid enough and it is annoying like i used to work at a restaurant when people would walk in i'd go no and my i remember being like why are you mad we have customers like that's how you make money and i'd be like i don't care i just hate them yeah and it doesn't yeah go away i was i was made i was a wait I was like, the only way I made money was from a customer. I wasn't even on

an hourly... Especially when it gets close to closing. Oh, God. Yeah, that's the worst. I will say these places closing 15 minutes early before it says closed on Google. Fuck that, man.

I used to work at delhi i worked at delhi for uh seven years and we'd close at nine and i would literally lock the front door at eight and then what i would lock the front door at eight and i would just start cleaning and then people knock on door they would get so mad but i just was like i don't care you should judge this this was this would have been like your dream if you had a key to that place if you had a key no i would never do that i couldn't do that to people i even though you would groan when they came in no here's what i would do so last night our food did take a long time because this place was packed but it did take a really long time yeah there was also uh i don't know she's a bestie. Oh. But she was a... A gal who liked y'all. She was a Nicky. Yeah.

And, but maybe she... So our food was taking a while because it was such a popular place and we were there at like on Taco Tuesday. So it was like, I think they had an extra large crowd. But no communication about like, hey, it's going to take a while.

Right. If anything, they pulled, so they had qr codes on the menu and you like i like places where you order on your phone and you pay on your phone and then it's just sent in and you don't have to deal with anyone they just bring your food fucking love it great great i don't care that's a great system but then right before we submitted our order they grabbed our qr codes and said we can't do these anymore we're doing real menus because we need like we're getting too many orders and so i was was like, that's not a good sign. I placed the order.

We're waiting. And it's like 35 minutes we've been waiting. And that's when I started feeling like there's no communication about like, hey, sorry. And I'm looking around at tables. I can tell you when I walk into a restaurant, I look immediately at who's gotten their food so far. Who am I competing with? Who just got sat? Whose order do I need to get in before theirs like i always tell my table like hey listen guys sorry but let's like order like instead of getting drinks and then they come back like let's order the food with the drinks so we can get in before which is why it's great to have a qr code

it's like okay we're getting this thing done let's do it and then but then we waited and waited which is fine because they were slammed and listen i will I will wait forever if I am told, sorry, we're backed up. The kitchen's fucking overwhelmed. The guy called in sick last second. Or it's Taco Tuesday. We're just overwhelmed. We're terrorized by customers right now. Yeah, it's season one of The Bear, whatever that episode is,

where their system breaks and the orders are coming in too fast. If they just communicate, I will grant anyone the grace if I'm just communicated with. Sure. But when I am being treated like, no, this is normal. And we're not even going to look at you. And we're going to act like we're the Delta help desk. It wasn't even like this is normal. And not make eye contact with you.

It's a little bit weird. So then I literally Googledled how long before you have a right to complain or a right to ask i literally i don't even know how long before you should get your food after you order it and you're supposed to in restaurant culture it's like three to five minutes for drinks like before between when you like you're supposed to have before when you sit at your table to have your drinks is 3-5 minutes and then food is no longer than 20 minutes. No longer than 20 minutes.

And I didn't say anything and I was not even about to but then Hala was like, I'll fucking do it. And she got up and Chris made the comment like it's best that someone with tattoos go up and talk about this. Because this is a place where people with tattoos gain respect. And have a different... You might work at a restaurant where people with tattoos gain respect and have a different.

You might work at a restaurant with that. Yeah. They were like, oh, this girl gets it. And so we got our food and it was fucking so good. But we had to slam it because we had to get the fish, which you'll hear about right after we get back from break.

He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it. He's everywhere and has been everywhere. It's so much worse and so much more widespread than I had anticipated.

And we have a box seat because we've got an inside track because we got tickets through. It's like a real convoluted thing. But Hala went to a show.

She's friends with a guy who's friends with a guy who was at this show. This guy was like, oh, my God, you know, Nikki Glaser. Nikki Glaser is friends is dating a guy I went to high school with. He's like he literally is like my Hala like in my life. And he's like, i want not only you're gonna go to fish you're gonna get box seats to fish i don't even care if nikki comes with you you guys are getting box seats and she's like no way you're drunk he's like no i'm not and this guy trey does all like the um what does he he like manages them in a way not manages but manages

so brian how you were mentioning that they um do video of all their shows they post all their shows and you can watch them online he runs all that yeah so he does the production for the big production cast yes he's been working for them for since like 2003 yeah he said that and um this guy trey kerrr, he is buddies with Chris from high school. And he said that in high school, all he did was listen to Phish and memorize lyrics. Like, that's all he did. And his father used to be like, if you put as much work into something, into anything as much as you did Phish, you could really actually have a career. And like, little did he know, like, this was going to be his career.

His career is Phish. Is Phish. And he's very successful. He runs their whole thing. He's a really impressive guy. And he's very successful. He runs their whole thing. He's a really impressive guy. Put that dad to shame. So cool and really hooked. Yeah, right? Really hooked us up. Yeah. Brought us

backstage. We got to go to the whole bus where they have all the video monitors set up and they're doing the live editing. I should know these things. The simulcast. They're doing the switching. They're switching. The switching board

and there's like three guys in there working very very hard and so we got to go backstage and the bus was kind of shaking probably wouldn't happen but it was really cool we got this like back we got to meet who John your husband described

on the way there we were talking about the live show and john was like in the he was like the the the um the lighting is one of the most important parts of the show i'm trying to do an impression i'm not good at him he's so cute but he was like saying the lighting is a very important key part of this shows and that he said the lighting guy is like the the fifth member of the band yeah it is the fifth member of the band like he's been around there forever and he's really important to the overall experience of the show and so then we got to meet that guy and i didn't connect it to the guy either because at the time i didn't know who like none of us knew who that was but john is like

a fan ph fan yeah um and so i think in his head at that moment he was like holy shit fifth member of the band but yeah we met that guy he's been working for fish since 1988 they met in burlington vermont when they were just playing bar shows and he's now on like he's still doing the lighting for them and he was a big fan of mine he got like nervous to meet me it was so cute i love him so much chris god um but yeah i just realized like fish is taylor swift like yeah yeah every every they have hundreds of songs there's all these like inside jokes like i heard um the fans like screaming out at parts that they weren't but but they were all chanting certain things at certain parts, which is a Taylor Swift thing.

There's all these things going on. People were cheering at different parts that I was like, oh, I don't get whatever's happening now. There's something special. And Chris was even saying, he was like, oh, my Chris was saying the lore, there's always lore, there's lore behind every song. There's a story behind every song.

And you even were telling us some story about the song Ocelot and yeah and it was funny because Hala told us she was like oh this song is about like when he was in rehab he was thinking about this friend of his that he hadn't talked to in a while and he wrote the song about the friend and he was she was like it was just so touching and Chris and I were like talking she told us that and then we went

back to watching the music and then Chris and I like went to the bathroom and got some snacks and then they did like a whole jam and then we went and talked to a bunch of his friends in the box and we like walked around and then 25 minutes later Chris was like do you realize this is the same song Hala was telling us we're still in

that song yeah it's no joke these songs last forever last night there was a it was a huge night in fish fishery yeah in fish uh fishery yeah and fish I got Bart Coleman who used to book my show not safe um he wrote he's a huge fish fan he wrote to me today when he saw on my stories that I had been to the fish show he was like how he was like I can't believe you saw a 40 minute tweezer and I was like it felt like tweezers in my eyes for 40 minutes

I was like it felt like a it was great I really think I could be a fan if I immerse myself in it but to me it really it reminded me of Taylor Swift and everyone in that show was having the best night of their life and I was thinking about how

I was looking at this crowd because we're in this box above all this this mass of just like dudes in ball caps and just rocking along and and uh having the best time and i go god if we saw all of their thought bubbles no one would be worried about their life right now no one's thinking about the kids at home no one's thinking about that room they have to paint or the taxes they have to ask for an extension on they're all just like there'd be just music notes in those bubbles yeah or like oh shit i gotta like change my pot to the vegetation stage like right growing yes yeah they were just all everyone's just like it is blissful yeah thatful. It's good to go see live events and, you know, music and artists on stage. It's, it's really, I want to do it more often.

It was so fun. Well, haven't you been going to more shows lately? Yeah. I mean, I went to, I could have gone to four in two weeks and I'm so mad. I didn't go see Mates of State because I just wasn't in the mood the other week. But, um, I went to see Jason Jason Mraz. I went to see Jason Mraz and then I went to see Counting Crows with Santana on Saturday

but I left before Santana because I don't even know. I don't know any Santana songs except the ones he's featured on. I do know that one. That song was drilled into our heads. That might be the most overplayed song in human history. That? No, I think it's the other Santana song.

It's a hot one. Oh my God. That might be. Is that with Rob Thomas, right? Oh yeah, it's with Rob Thomas. And Rob Thomas wasn't, if Rob Thomas would have been there, I would have stayed for that song,

but I just don't, I just didn't care about Santana. I'm sorry to people who might be horrified by that, but Counting Crows and Santana are on tour together. And Counting Crows were amazing. Counting Crows. Counting Crows. They're a jam band, huh?

Adam Duritz is a jam band. No. What? No. Jam bands to me equal. Hold on. No. Jam bands, I think, mean they go on a really long time and they jam out.

Okay. All right. Adam Duritz is not jamming out. Those songs are four minutes long at most. Fair. He's on a jam band. He improvises his own songs. If a band plays Standard,

the music is exactly how it is on the album. The band is sticking to the studio album. Adam Duritz is taking full creative license. Adam Duritz is just doing what he wants up there with the song he's making it his own he's making it fun for him and it's good for him i'm sure it could be love it i met adam duritz i think i told the story on the podcast last year but i met him at uh bob saget's fundraiser because he was friends with bob and um

he killed i mean i he blew me away at that show and his voice was just so amazing. He was really nice to me and I've just been a fan forever. The last Connie Crowe's concert I went to was probably in high school and I don't think he was doing this kind of style that he does now, which is like does not sing the melody that you know and love. He's doing his own thing. In high school, that was like when we were in high school, I think that was his heyday, right? That was when he was at his height and so it's like maybe he had to play it exactly how it sounded maybe he hadn't become bored with it yet exactly yeah because i think this is a reaction to being making it interesting for him which like respect like i want the artist to be having fun up there singing those same songs for 20 plus years don't try to sing along no unless you want to play a

really fun game which taylor and i did so i went with taylor uh from girls chat and we turned it into the best damn time because we just because uh our section wasn't really they weren't crow's heads they weren't crowies yeah they were more and crowies yeah they were um they weren't ever more ease they were uh santani's you know they were waiting so we decided to sing the studio track along with the band and just see how it synced up with adam duritz and it was really really fun i loved those videos so i sent you a bunch on or someone girls chat but it was we ended up we weren't singing obnoxiously loud but just to ourselves to see how off it was and it's impossible to sing Long December with him he is in March uh he he's singing short March because we was, it's so, which I do, when I go to a show, I really want it to be like the way I know it.

Yeah, I do. I was saying this on girls chat. I definitely do if it's a nostalgic band. Like I went to Counting Crows and I was depressed afterwards. Because I was like, all I wanted to do was go to this and have a sing along. But that was impossible to do because Adam Duritz is doing his own thing yeah wait I want to make a quick um announcement for the besties it's not an announcement that I'm not having a guppy but um the funny thing is that speaking of Taylor I am married to her high

school boyfriend which might just be fun for besties to know. I thought you said Taylor Swift. I was like, hold the fucking phone. Taylor McGraw. Did I say Taylor Swift? You said Taylor. I'm married to Taylor McGraw's high school boyfriend. Yeah, Taylor from Girls Chat. It's very incestuous over at Girls Chat. Taylor, our friend from high school, dated John, Holla's now husband,

who we knew in high school and you were friends with in high school, but he was not. Someone would have said John Tipker is going to be your husband. I would have been like, what? You would have slapped them hard on the back. And I also wouldn't have believed that Toby is actually my child. What? So incestuous.

Right, right. She is yours. I did say he. So Taylor and I went to Counting. It was so fun and um and he acts out all the lyrics which holla also warned us about because she had seen a counting crow's show before us so he's like um you know like round here and he'll do like round with his like he's doing asl for people who don't don ASL. Round here. He's just miming. We all look.

And he'll point at his look the same. It'll do like an equal sign. Round here. We all talk like liars. He acts out everything. It's really fun to watch. And it was really interesting. He sounded amazing.

It was such a good show. He played so many hits, including a Taylor Swift cover. He played The One for any Swifties listening. Yes, he played the one um which i love that he picked that song and it's like i was kind of thinking about it's on folklore which is kind of a more counting crowsy type album and um it's the first track off uh folklore and uh he did change i like when people change lyrics so to fit like a boy singing about a girl as opposed to a girl singing about a boy. How did he change it? I have this dream you're doing cool shit, having adventures on your own.

You meet some guy on the internet and take him home. And it's like, it's usually, you meet some woman on the internet and take her home. And so, you you know it was like but it was really good i think he stuck to that melody more than he did his own song that makes sense he's not bored with it yet what'd you say brian you switched out the pronouns yeah you gotta do that yeah you don't want to be gay no you don't want to be gay in these songs it would be offensive but i think every band should have 20 more jamming in their concerts. Not more than that, though. But sometimes I go to a concert and they play their 2 minute and 45 second song and it's over.

And I'm like, that's it? I want to hear that song for way longer than that. I want them to play it twice sometimes. Yeah. I would have loved to hear Omaha twice or Anna Begins twice. Oh my God, Anna Begins is my favorite Counting Crows song ever. And it, I think it

might be a top 10 favorite song. Counting Crows I think are one of Adam Durst, and by the way he's still pumping out the hits. I went to Spotify the day of the show to be like, what's their new stuff sound like? And I'm like, oh my God, this is all so good. And I think I've been avoiding avoiding listening to it because i just i don't

have enough time in my life everything after is so good but so was uh recovering the satellites and then um uh the one that's like the fish mrs potter's lullaby this desert life yes yeah that was so good too and then all this the shrek stuff man good albums but this new song elevator shoes the song on shrek was yeah what was the song in love accidentally in love to me shrek is like smash mouth yeah no i think No, I think Shrek was, I mean, I think it's Smash Mouth too. Somebody once told me. For sure. Isn't that like Shrek?

That is Shrek, but I think Accidentally in Love is also Shrek. What's Walking on the Sun? That's Smash Mouth. Is that Shrek though? Yeah. I don't even know. I equate Shrek with Smash Mouth. And I think you're right to do that, but I do also think that Counting Crows did.

They did like the love song in Shrek? Yeah, accidentally in love when him and the ogre fall in love. I've never seen Shrek. The disgusting ogre. I've seen it once. They're both ogres, but she's actually a beautiful princess or something. Yeah, played by Cameron Diaz. I've never seen Shrek, but I know this is like a Shrek resurgence.

She turns into a huge ogre that's disgusting. And then they get married and they both stay disgusting ogres. Honestly, I like that. It's just the reverse of Beauty and the Beast. Oh my God, you guys. My niece was telling me about Beauty and the Beast

the other day and she's five and she was like, I like I I like I like how kids are always out of breath so breath and Nikki I like I like Belle the best

because she ends up with Mr. Beast she called Mr. Beast like the kids are like which is the neighbor no Mr. Beast is like the most famous guy on YouTube which you wouldn't know but like these these little kids are like which is the neighbor no mr beast is like the most famous guy on youtube oh which you wouldn't know but like these these little kids are like absorbing all this new stuff that i but just calling him mr beast was so funny but i thought your sister was trying to make them like polite kids so she refers oh god no she's not doing that are you kidding me they came over

the other day and within one minute of being in the house, Forrest, who is two and a half, threw both my remotes behind the couch violently. That just as a greeting. That's what he does. It's a tradition. It's a custom. That's how you say, oh, I love your house. Thank you for having me. And yeah, he took his shoes off through those uh

and i go thanks for taking your shoes off that's polite but then he then took my air pods i wasn't even watching out of um the case that was charging on the couch and threw those in both two separate corners oh that's a good point yeah let me look on the bright side of things at least he didn't eat them i thought it was and then he saw a picture of Arlo on the wall and took it off the wall and like tried to break it. I mean, it's vengeance. He's wild, man. He is a wild man. But so I wanted to share some funny things from fish last night because I was having a if I can if I am not if I don't know the music.

If I make some kind of like jokey game I can have a really good time like Taylor and I trying to sing along with the Counting Crows songs was really good oh I wanted to share just before we get to that Anna Begins that's my favorite song because I in high school was in love

with one of my best friends Doug okay Doug Reese if you're out there i really want to be friends again i know you're married and have kids i won't make it honestly i just want to be friends you've announced this so many times on the podcast i don't know who has not delivered i don't someone knows him someone knows him i think r-e-i-s r-e-i-s yeah where are you 98 doug reese is what we called him. So he,

I, he was my friend. I was obsessed with him. I felt, I was like madly in love. He's my first like obsessive love. And he played guitar and he was really good at it. And he loved Dave Matthews just as much as me.

So it was the closest I felt to like being with Dave Matthews. And so this was like 10th grade that I became friends with him and we would hang out after school and study. And I was like, so grade that I became friends with him and we would hang out after school and study. And I was like so in love. And and we also used to love counting crows and listen to them all the time. And I want it was like the first brave thing I think I ever did in my life. I was like, I'm going to tell him I like him. And all my friends were like, you can't, Nikki.

I remember you guys being like, don't. And I'm like, I can't hold this in anymore. I wonder why we didn't want you to say. Because you probably saw where it was going to go. Like it wasn't going to be reciprocated. Or it was just like, that's going to make things weird for all of us. Maybe you guys were into it. But I remember this was, I thought for sure that I was going to kiss him after I told him that I liked him.

Because I thought, there's no way he doesn't like me. Like we both really did like each other hanging out all the time all the time and we were studying for mr mackin's chemistry class um we had a test the next day so i went over to he had like a room in his basement which was so fun because like we would just like hang out in this basement and just i'd watch him play guitar and play all my favorite dave songs like perfectly he was so talented and i would just like be so ruining but we were with our we're down so before i went over there um i knew i was going to go over at four o'clock so after school kirsten came over we got out of school at 250 she came over to my house and i was like i'm

gonna kiss i'm gonna have my first kiss and she was like oh my god i can't believe this is gonna happen and kirsten had already kissed boys before at this point and i was nervous. I was in 10th grade and I had never kissed a boy before. And I was like, what if I'm bad? And she was like, you're not going to be bad. And I'm like, I have no idea how to kiss. I like had studied can't hardly wait, you know, and how they kiss at the end. So I knew you needed to raise your eyebrow after the second time your lips went in for like a, and then you raise your eyebrow and you go, Ooh, and that's all I knew. Cause I'd studied Jennifer Love Hewitt doing it, but she was like,

you're going to be fine. And I was like, I don't think so. And she was like, just kiss me. I'll tell you if you're good. And I was like, really? And she was like,

yeah, we were in my bathroom. She was like, seriously, just, just, I was like open mouth. And she was like,

yeah. So we made out in my bathroom. Wow. I remember hearing like, just not like for a long time, but like long enough to, so she did you like it? It was,

it was really like, it felt like I was could get a sense of it. It was really like I was doing a plank or something. She was being like, oh, maybe just adjust your hips. It felt very clinical. I don't know. She said it's like she's doing a plank. A plank.

She wanted me to adjust my hips for the kisses. She stopped me a lot for grinding them against my my hip and so uh we kissed and then um and she was like you're fine like i just see christian be like yeah this is good yeah yeah i don't know that's good brush your teeth or whatever like i had already brushed my teeth definitely by the time i kissed her and i was like really and she was like yeah that was it that's all you have to do and i was like oh that was easy yeah and i didn't realize until literally decades later that that was my first kiss like i was

doing this on a podcast decades later and i go oh my god guys that was my first kiss like i didn't think it counted because it was a girl and then me and you made out no i actually remember a kiss you had before that what's? Amber Johnson in sixth grade. Oh my God. Amber Johnson. Amber Johnson. Yeah. Holy shit.

She goes, yeah, it's easy, Nikki. Wait, didn't she just grab my face? All I know is Amber Johnson was your first kiss. That's right. Because you guys teased me about that so much. And I was like, which is weird because I had a kiss. Wasn't that like sixth grade? Yeah, but it was just funny for two girls. And she assaulted, I didn't want to kiss her. She was just all you gotta do is kiss you just go like this and she grabbed my face

and kissed me and i remember you guys were always just like oh you gotta do it go like this and you just like kept kissing that's probably what kirsten said you which is not she was not someone who you wanted to kiss like she wasn't like uh i just remember being like that's not who i want for my first kiss i barely know you want to d No, you wanted Doug Reese or Kirsten. In sixth grade, I wanted no one, I'm sure. I didn't. I couldn't. I was not into boys yet.

I wanted maybe a cartoon character. Maybe Doug from the cartoon character. Doug Funny. Yeah, Doug Funny. He was so cool. Or Patty. Or even Roger. Out of that group?

Yeah, I think. Skeeter. Skeeter. Skeeter. He's a nerd he's got he's got a big dick though no doubt no doubt so so kirsten approves of my kiss i go over to doug reese's house and it literally feels like i put it up there with like the first time i did stand up or even like doing the roast like doing terrifying things yes. Yes. Oh my God. But I was so excited too. Cause I like knew I was about to get a boyfriend because we were best friends.

Like, and he was always nervous around me. Like I could just tell he liked me too. I knew this couldn't go wrong. And I just remember like, there's so many times in my life I'd have this moment where I'm like, just do it. You're going to like, you're now you're not doing it. You're going to do it now. And like, I just said it and I go, Doug. And he was he was like yeah and i just knew he knew what i was gonna say and i was like

i was looking at my notebook i couldn't even like look at him i was just like staring at the top of my um open chemistry book and i was like i have to tell you something he was like yeah and i was like i like you and it was just like it just it felt like pulling off a band-aid or like jumping in the cold pool at swim practice and i was just like i like you and just sat there and he was like i like you too and i was like oh my god it was like yes and i was like i go okay and he was like but i just got a girlfriend oh and i was like what uh he was my best he was like my best friend i go what the what when yeah and he was like her name's katherine she goes to viz which is a private school and i was like what what i don't even know that we you're you go talk to private school girls

where would you even meet them like i had no clue that this girl existed and that became that was and then he like walked me upstairs and i remember my mom coming to get me and i remember waiting in his garage and making small talk with his parents and just feeling like so embarrassed wanting to like just cry and run and i went home and i cried so much and the next day was awkward but then he eventually broke up with her for me so that was your first heartbreak yeah it was my first heart. I was so, and then it just became, I became obsessed with hating Catherine and like trying to get him to break up with her.

Was Anna Begins playing when you said it? Oh yeah, Anna Begins was, okay, so Anna Begins was playing. We were listening to Counting Crows and right when I said it, it goes, it's such a love song. It goes,

the seconds when I'm shaking. It was something about like, you be shuddering. Yeah, there was some line about like, and she's shaking. And I remember like my hand was shaking. I was like about like, shut her in. Yeah, there was some line about like, and she's shaking. And I remember like my hand was shaking. I was like,

oh, this is all so like too real of what's going on. But I remember Anna Begins was playing While I Told a Mitt and it was my favorite song and I almost planned it with the song

because I was like, this is like out of Dawson's Creek that this song would be playing in the background when this moment happens between Joey and Dawson. And we were going to kiss for the first time

and I'm going to have sex for the first time maybe, which I probably just sex for the first time maybe which i probably just thought was like a penis rubbing on my stomach or something like i didn't even know what sex i'm so just dumb when it comes to the stuff but then he eventually broke up with her and the second he did i wasn't into him anymore and that's the story of my life always wanting what i can't have we'll be right back after this john stewart is back in the host chair at The Daily Show, which means he's also back in our ears on The Daily Show Ears Edition podcast.

Last night at the Fish Show, we made it fun because I started just, well, one of my best lines of the night was I went to the bathroom during a song and I came back and I said to Chris, what did I miss? Because I missed nothing. They were like still on the same like chord progression over and over. It all sounds like,

a lot of it sounded like the Charlie Brown Christmas music. Which is great. Vince Roldy, let's do it. Yeah, it sounded like that to me. But I really like, gotta sing, sing what you gotta jaboo, gotta sing, jada gaboo. I like that song. And I like this, they didn't play Wilson, but I really like gotta sing sing what you gotta do i like that song and i like this i they didn't play

wilson but i really like that song and i also like um farmhouse and they didn't play that song and we got to see setlist backstage during the um intermission yeah yeah and um so i knew that i when i saw the setlist i was like okay good i don't have to stick around waiting for wilson okay so one of the funny jokes that i was doing last night was that i was just telling holla breaking news that was happening from all these people being at the fish show so it started like like i just went up to holla like she literally thought there was like a terrorist attack or something because i was like oh my god holla holy shit did you guys hear i just got this alert on my phone we just broke the record for the most Tevas in one building. Did you guys know that?

And so I just kept coming up to her being like, this is serious. I'm not even joking you right now. We have to call Guinness. They are not going to believe that about this world record. Tonight marks the first time that 700 people have simultaneously uttered the phrase, dude, how sick were Lunchables? That happened tonight. uttered the phrase dude how sick were Lunchables like that happened tonight we broke that record how sick are Lunchables

and I was like I go holla it is did you hear it's estimated that in this entire crowd it's estimated that there have been upwards of 11 to 14 showers have been taken today in this whole crowd and I go,

holy shit. Fuck. I'm getting this alert right now. Oh, fuck. Oh my God. You guys. And they're like,

Nikki, what? I'm just like, this is serious. You guys, St. Louis city just put out an alert that they're shutting down all their Frisbee parks.

They said that no one has been spotted at one for the last 90 minutes. And that like, if there's no one there, they're shutting them down. And then a couple more. I um fuck oh shit there's oh my god it's been reported there's an alarmingly low sperm count levels that have been detected in my area what the fuck you guys we gotta do something what do we do and i go this just in there's 300 unread texts from right now in this building there are 300 unread texts from dad saying sorry son i just can't do

it this month maybe ask your mom's new boyfriend i hear he's loaded read that one about oh my god oh fuck we did it again you guys another record broken this is unbelievable this is on this is the biggest grouping of people that within the last week have paid for a six inch meatball sub in loose change this is wild we did it oh my god wait we gotta fuck oh shit this is bad someone needs to call the humane society like right now because i think there are approximately 1100 bearded dragons and dirty fish tanks who haven't been fed in the last three hours that's my favorite i don't know it's so good and then we just kept on going and so i said by we it was you and part of it that was so funny was the delivery like we would all be doing something different and then nikki would like burst out like stressful walking and like yeah anyway uh

matt green my brother-in-law who's also at the show sent me some he was like due to this week's excessive heat warning the saint city of st louis has opened up a temporary king center for the unhoused on the campus of st louis university which is where this venue was he goes thousands of hungry people packed midtown st louis this evening after reports that fire ass burritos were being served out of a white owl's subaru forester i don't even know what that means i don't know what any of it means i have a super forester well and you dress like you are going to a fish show tonight that's right yeah but i don't um and then i wanted to play this recording because you know kirsten is amazing at prank calls, which are not really prank calls. They're just like her calling in this kind of like chipper voice as like a customer service person working for a company that is delivering some good news to one of its clients.

And this is a call that she said on Girls Chat today that she wanted to give to John, Holla's husband, who had the greatest time. I mean, he's a huge Phish fan. So this, I just think, is one of the funniest things going. I think John needs a prank call today for number one Phish fan. Hi. Hi, this is Mackenzie calling from the Chafin Center of St. Louis. John, we would like to inform you that you have been nominated as number one Phish fan last night. We noticed that your cut-off jean shorts had a fray that was so incredibly natural and created exactly from dancing at concerts before this one last night.

We know you've been dedicated to dressing casually at concerts so that you're free to move. We also want to let you know that we tracked that your foot-to-foot radius and weight shift was approximately 26 degrees more intense than any other dude your age. You're getting this award

because you are between the ages of 40 and 45 i also clap that you nodded your head 65 times within one hour one hour is actually only three songs for fish because the songs are really long we got it on and on and on john we wanted to really thank you for your dedication coming to the prize he's going to be a tie-dye American trend. I just love that every time Kirsten calls someone as a prank call, she's like, Hi, it's Mackenzie. We have used technology and lasers to track that you move side to side more rotations than anyone. I just love she's always using technology. Kirsten once prank called me while you guys were on girls trip

and I was pregnant about like a baby jujitsu center in Tucson that's like you know like asking us to join as members and I played it to Avi and he believed it and still to this day I haven't told him it was Kirsten what? oh my god I want to hear it because it is so convincing

because she does this thing where she's like Noah like She's reset a customer service person of we are so excited. She's talking from a wee place. She really nails the tone. And she gives personal details

that would be specific to you. She probably said sometime around your due date so that it makes it more believable, especially to Avi who would have no clue. Her saying that John wins an award because the fray on his jeans is the most natural is incredibly natural. I was like, did Nikki even send a picture of John?

No, that's how often he wears frayed jean shorts. Yeah, and they are naturally frayed. He would never buy a pair of shorts that was artificially frayed. No, he wears jeans until they need to get cut. Then I cut them into shorts for him. And then they get a natural fray from friction from dancing. It was so fun last night just coming up with those. I could have done it all night long.

Of just being very alarmed at something that's happening because all these people are in one place together. I mean, the easy places to go was like hacky sacks and like... Oh, Kirsten did one that was really good about the vape pens jingling in someone's pocket. Speaking of the lasers. Oh, wait, was it this? Last night at the Fish show in St. Louis, we used digital lasers and technology to track

the amount of jingling coming from loose cargo short pockets carrying one-hitters and vape pens as these men dance and boy, they dance hard. The jingling reached a shocking amount of 15 decibels, I love that while she's delivering this,

she's so heavily pregnant right now and trying to induce labor. So she's on the street probably now and trying to like induce labor so she is on us she's on the street probably doing this thing that pregnant women do where they like put one foot up on the ledge or like the curb the curb the curb and then they walk the other one down so she's just a real thing where did she hear this from everyone yes it's a thing yeah yeah i guess i'm not in the pregnancy world, so I don't know it. My favorite thing that has been suggested to her to induce labor, because she's at about

40 weeks and she's trying to get the baby to get the... She's trying to evict it, you know, is that her husband needs to ejaculate inside her. And I just think that's so funny that even when like men's a woman's about to have her like insides ripped open um and go through like the most you know body terrorizing thing that can ever happen and men are like how can you help oh just come inside like they still just get to freely come maybe it is true like kids don't want to think about their parents having sex even before they're born oh they're like oh god final get out of here mom dad gross stop doing that yeah i gotta get out of here um i get it it's supposed to like send a bunch of oxytocin in your body or something that makes your baby be like

i'm gonna get out but it is funny that kirsten is like will have a baby outside of her body no matter what in a couple days yeah it's in it now but it's going to come out it has to in a couple days she's going to be a real life mom real life mom so excited i can't believe it that is weird no is that so weird for you like just one day there's toby she was in you and then not i don't think it's weird but it is is fascinating. It's like, whoa, I can't believe an hour ago you were still in there, and now you're out. That's what I think about shits. Yeah. Yeah.

When they come out, I go, that was in me all day? Yeah. And I had to take care of this for 20 years? You're kind of pushing a baby out the same way you push a turd out. Oh, I imagine it's the same kind of a similar feeling yeah and that yeah they kind of come out together sometimes yeah you had twins sometimes and you don't even want to and one's from a different daddy um yeah i mean i do do don't you think that after you take a poop that like i can't believe that was just in my body

i think of all i think it every time i think really that i was walking around with that and i was like saying hi to people and taking phone calls and like waving at babies it was so cute and that was just simmering inside me i just think it's so weird and i name them and i weigh them and i incubate them. And I carry them around for 18 years. Sorry. Can I get... Oh, we have to leave? Yeah, we have to leave.

But what do you want to say? I was going to give a quick Olympics update. Oh, please. Exciting Olympics update. Yes, let's get one in. We have time. Well, there's this guy on the men's Olympics gymnastics team who's sweeping the internet.

Have you seen this guy? the pommel horse man? Yes. Pretty cool. I mean, I watched it last night, so I was a day late to the party, but it was pretty amazing. The men's Olympics gymnastics team hasn't won a medal at all, bronze, silver, or gold, since 2008. And obviously, the women's team, which is just filled with superstars, has won pretty much every year. So the men's team is kind of like this forgotten group and they did the all-around team uh medal round yesterday or two days ago and yeah there's this guy so they have five guys on the team and they're all supposed to compete in multiple events but there's one guy on the team who looks like the nerdiest wearing horn what i called

horn rim glasses he's he's cross-eyed you can wear glasses cross-eyed okay uh and he's just sitting there on the bench next to these four just like ripped handsome athletes and he's just sitting there the entire time and they're like don't worry this guy's gonna come up later he's the pommel horse specialist the only thing he does is the pommel horse and the whole time they're like, don't worry, this guy's going to come up later. He's the pommel horse specialist. The only thing he does is the pommel horse and the whole time they're just cutting back to him. It's like the producers of the Olympics knew that this was funny because this guy's just sitting there. He's like meditating.

His eyes are closed half the time. I thought it was like he was sleeping. We don't know what he was doing. He was important though because he was the last one on the team to go so he was either going to have the team be in the team to go so he he was either gonna have the team be in the top three or not it was a make a break wow performance he's just waiting for his turn he has to wait through five full events he's there for like over an hour just sitting on a

bench doing nothing actually it's good he was sitting because he was relaxing his legs which i'd imagine to do pommel horse the whole thing is just like can you get your legs the most like noodles as possible? Well, sometimes he would get up and he would do this and he'd look really silly. And it's just like and every once in a while they'd show like one of the athletes doing like flips and sticking the landing. And then they cut to the pommel horse guy and he'd just be like eyes closed going like this. I'm like, there he is. He's got to go up later.

I don't understand the fascination with this guy. Everyone's like he only does the pommel horse. I'm like, I he is. He's got to go up later. I don't understand the fascination with this guy. Everyone's like, he only does the pommel horse. I'm like, I don't know. I just started watching football. Isn't that what a kicker does? Very similar to a kicker. But also this guy just checked all the boxes of an ironic savior because he

just looked like this scrawny little nerd and they kept cutting to him. We couldn't tell if he was nervous or asleep. And also earlier that day, he posted instagram him uh finishing a rubik's cube in under 10 seconds so this guy is just like a super nerd sitting there with his glasses everyone else are these jockey guys doing backflips and then yeah they were you know it kind of sucks because the men's gym gymnast team can never beat china and japan i guess in this instance and so like they never had a chance of getting the gold or even the silver quite frankly but they couldn't they

had a chance to get a bronze medal and it all came down to the fucking pommel horse guy that's cool and he went out there and he's he went out there and he delivered the most incredible pommel horse routine what do you mean i know what that is. And the history of sport. Of course. Okay, I have a question. Yeah, please. Do pommel horse, do their legs ever go over their heads? Or is it just they're switching their arms and their legs just like...

Sometimes they do the scissor move and like a leg goes over their head a little bit. Sometimes they do a handstand. But yeah, it's a lot of just like switching hands and spinning around. It's very silly. He was referenced today in my Pilates class. They were like, now channel your inner Steven whatever. Wow. I don't know who that is.

Hawking. Yeah. Sit more still and hit on your nurse. It wasn't interesting and exciting. I think it lived up to the hype for me watching it on primetime. Okay, I got to give that a chance because he is a cultural phenomenon. And I know every time I go online, someone's talking about him. So we better look it up for now. Okay, I got to give that a chance because he is a cultural phenomenon and I know every time I go online, someone's talking about him.

So I guess we got to look it up. We'll go watch it for now until the next thing. Okay, great Olympics update. I think I'm starting to give a shit. Try. Holla doesn't give a shit either, by the way, you guys.

I talked about it last night with her. I was like, I feel bad. I just don't care about the Olympics. No, I don't care at all. And then I even asked John, your husband, who works at a mountain bike shop. He does mountain bikes his life.

His life. And I go, are you super into mountain biking in the Olympics? I assume mountain biking is in the Olympics. It is. And he said, oh, I don't really care. And I was like, yes. No. Someone else doesn't care.

That should. That actually should. Stop starting this movement. No. I'm not. We got to go on the reverse. No, I want to care. I'm literally not trying to be cynical.

I don't. I'm just posing questions. I'm not recruiting people. I want people the reverse. No, I want to care. I'm literally not trying to be cynical. I don't. I'm just posing questions. I'm not recruiting people. I want people on board. I love people's enthusiasm for this. I really am not making fun of it. I'm just trying to understand it. And I want to be on board because I like being excited about things.

It's a really great way to go through life. So we better watch this guy. We'll get excited about Pum Horse. I might. I might. I might be sold on it. I can't wait to have a Pum Horse in your living room for a force to come and throw behind the couch.

I easily forgive things, right? Like I do quick forgiveness. So I'm going to quickly forgive the Olympics for not entertaining me. And I'm going to let it in my heart that it could be my favorite thing. This might be my new Taylor Swift. Love it. I think I could get really on board. The only thing worthy of watching is NBC Primetime.

It's two hours. Watch it the day after so there's no commercials. NBC Primetime shows you the most important things with packages so you understand the human's interest story behind each performance. It's two hours. It shows you the most important things. I need an animal interest story. We know that.
