The Nikki Glaser Podcast - #461 Worst News: Eras Tour Date CANCELLED, "Late To The Game" & Sing-Alongs
Episode Date: August 14, 2024Nikki and Chris are giving the lowdown on their Vienna trip. Despite all the travel chaos and the Eras Tour getting canceled, Nikki still managed to sing her heart out while the rest of her crew explo...red the city. Even though getting news of Taylor Swift’s concerts being canceled was a major bummer for Nikki, it actually inspired her and her sister Lauren to drop a viral song that Entertainment Tonight picked up. Brian’s just now discovering Raygun the breakdancer, and both Chris and Brian are totally thrown off by Nikki’s candy bar choice. And seriously, while water is super healthy, it’s such a struggle to drink. In the Final Thought, Nikki’s all about encouraging everyone to hit up sing-alongs.

hey, by the way, there's not states over here. And I was like, not no i i knew that i was you know being funny yeah yeah but i kind of
didn't know like i didn't i never thought about what that means right i've literally raised your
hand listener if you're like me and you've never thought about how the united states of america
are literally the united states of like you never thought about what that means you just
like heard it like it's like it's just one thing it's like lyrics you know when you're just like
listening to a song you just know the song and you never think about what it means that's what
the united states of america was to me for 30 something years anyway chris convie is in studio
here in st louis hi chris hey glaze hi hi chris um and also joining us uh brian frangie in los angeles hello hey bry
uh and then back with us permy from the permanently
and she's got a new perm um that's a hot top noah noah's back everyone what is that you're you're
like this are you trying to get pregnant again what's
going on you know that is sexy that's the current invasive question of the moment no way yes yes
when are you gonna have another one you're four months postpartum and everyone's like well when's
the next one coming yeah by the way postpartum sorry postpartum the words that's got taken over by
depression and being psychotic like those words when the people are like oh and i'm four months
postpartum i'm like are you okay and it's like no it doesn't mean depression it's just that's where
we first started hearing that word as people who have never been through pregnancy that's where
right we associate those words with so you think it's a shortening of postpartum depression yeah
and people just well i just learned learned the words postpartum from that phrase um before i
would not i don't think i knew that phrase but that is a little why are people so weird and
first of all who is who are these people that are asking you this what is what's wrong with people
literally whose business is any of it it's all across the board it's uh family it's strangers it's uber drivers the uber drivers
after you know what after you have your second kid that question will dramatically decrease and
then after you have your third kid no one's gonna ask yeah they'll ask if i regretted it
they'll switch to do you regret having three?
I mean, that is, people do think it's weird to have one.
I think one, my sister and Matt over this trip were talking about how one is just so easy compared to, they're like, one?
One seems like no kids. Just hearing about one, how they, they talk about the, the, the relief, even
imagining what one kid would be like compared to three.
Did you, did you notice that Chris?
Oh, did you clock that when they go one?
Oh, we didn't know how easy we had it.
Not to minimize anything you're going through.
No, I don't.
We've also got a tale to tell, but thing, the thing, our, our whole trip almost got
canceled.
Yeah.
And they were like, you're not, we're like, maybe we should just go home canceled yeah and they were like you're not
can't we're like maybe we should just go home and they're like we're not going home they would have
rather been i said yesterday they they would have gone on vacation at a refugee camp eating one meal
a day and sleeping on a cot with lice on it just to get away from their kids they would have been
like that is fine they did not they were not deterred by any of the things that happened on our trip um i wanted to give up so many times and just go back home because for me
being at home is my vacation from work because i am home right and work is on the road so for me i
was like i just would go from one vacation to another i just want to go back home and just and
now i have the whole week free because i cleared my schedule because i'm supposed to be in europe
so let's just go home because nothing's going right.
And they were like, the hell we're going home.
They were like, we are going.
And I was like, well, you guys can go.
And they're like, come on, Nick.
And so I went.
But I did not.
I just realized how much they wanted to.
And they did not miss their kids.
They are great parents.
Great parents.
At the end of
the trip i was like is there any kind of longing and just like we didn't miss our dog i was like i
i want to see her but i don't want her to be here and that's how they felt about their kids
do i want you up here though yes come on get on up i have nothing to do with you get on up there's
no presents up here there's no toys there's nothing there but cuddles and love and podcast
but no names there's no names there's still no names for this dog if you're wondering if there's a name don't oh do
you want a name is that what you want what do you want your name to be yesterday taylor did go take
her for a walk and she was like i i would you know our plane was late getting in because that's just
the way travel is now just just never expect your flight to be on time anymore i used to not think
this way but this is the way it is now folks nothing ever will go right if you have multiple connections but taylor i said
um can you walk her and she was like of course and i said thank you so much and she said i and
then later on she goes i took that little twix bar out and she was so cute and everybody knew it
she's such a twix thank you this text made me so happy she goes he anything
for you twixie mcgill which is like short for twixie mcgillicuddy um so we're thinking maybe
twix because she doesn't like a good name twix bar twix is funny yeah twix is all right
i've never heard of a dog named twix either so already sounds like it sounds like her name might
be tricksy and we're talking to her like a baby like you twixy yeah like it has babiness already
implied and although twix are not vegan friendly i think i could get me it's fine it also implies
that we're gonna get another one yeah oh my god but it would have to be the same shape and size
or she's out uh yeah we we would get another. What's Twix's slogan? I think it's...
Take a break.
That's how shitty AI is.
I just looked it up on Google.
You know how Google has AI's answer first?
Yes, what the fuck?
I go, what's Twix's slogan?
And then it goes,
Twix's slogan is,
every bite feels like victory
when it's wrapped in gold,
which I think is probably
it's like Olympics slogan, but like clearly that's not what i wanted no that is not it was like put things put life
on pause like it used to be a pause i used to have a reference to it in my act twix need a moment
twix a break from the moment oh yeah that could be it well i remember when it was like two for me
none for you oh that's good they should have stuck with
that that's selfish that actually makes people buy more selfish and rude you have to go get your own
it is selfish and rude yeah twixt doesn't really need help i saw this amazing tiktok i mean the
tiktok itself wasn't amazing the guy wasn't that compelling doing it but he had a really good point
which he was like there's no new candy candy has been the same
since i was a child he was probably 32 but he was like there's of course there's like nerds ropes
and there's like variations on like they'll do cookies and cream twix and stuff like that but
like twix yeah butterfinger snickers uh m&ms it's there's no no new big ones taken over. All the new stuff is spin-offs.
Yeah, true.
They're putting caramel in Reese's Cups now.
It's so stupid.
What a disaster that is.
Who wants to put caramel on peanut butter?
I mean, are you serious?
That sounds good.
Caramel?
Really?
No.
On peanut butter?
It's disgusting.
I don't know if I say...
What do you mean on?
Isn't it with?
In.
With.
Under.
In.
It's under the chocolate.
I think I could get on board with that
yeah i could i i really could i think that the consist i've talked about before the consistency
of a rhesus cup is like biting into a sock it's just like that shocky like i hate it so much
but what is your like your favorite you don't eat candy bars really anymore it's all but if i
was going to what's the one that you miss the most i miss um
nestle's red little minis like the nestle milk chocolate wow i wasn't expecting this i don't
know what you're talking about i love the crunch bar you know like the minis that you get at
like oh no sorry that that's crackle that's what i was thinking no i was thinking um i really like
the it was like an i think i liked a nestle milk
chocolate bar i think that was no yes i did hold on let me look it up it's been so long
not a chance a nestle chocolate bar that's it hold on i think it was i think i just really
liked the flavor of the like regular nestle milk chocolate but i did love a crunch bar i love
a take five okay i don't know what i'm talking about with the nestle milk chocolate but i did love a crunch bar i love a take five okay i don't know
what i'm talking about with the nestle milk chocolate i i there is one it's red wait no it
is red what is it it's just like crackle but it's red i am right but wait a second it's just
a chocolate bar from nestle it was just chocolate oh i think i know it it says. Nestle. Yes. Yes. It looks like this. Yeah. Like that.
It's just chocolate.
Yeah.
Nobody's getting that.
Those were so good, dude.
I know.
I liked it.
Are you from the 1800s?
I don't know what's going on, but I liked it.
Can you call just a chocolate bar a candy bar if it's just chocolate?
I think so.
I think.
And they used to have like princess versions.
Like when I was really into them them they were like Disney princess version.
Yes.
Do you really?
I do recall the princess versions now that you mentioned it.
But that's because Nestle Bar needed some gimmick in order for people to buy it.
Like for kids to buy it because it's just chocolate.
Hold on.
And it's not a Hershey's bar.
They don't have the s'mores to buttress its sales.
No, I can't find it.
Hershey's chocolate.
I don't know what I was thinking about.
In the words of Brian Frangie, is trash.
White trash.
It is a trash chocolate.
Wait, what are you guys going for candy?
Are you talking about chocolate?
Chris and I have had in-depth discussions about what chocolate you can and cannot eat
due to various exposure to toxic metals.
However,
Oh, God.
Well, before you guys became gay what were you before
we came gay i take that as a compliment and i always have that i've just been listening to
that's a compliment so now that we're gay we we're just we just want our not to have toxic
i'm saying gay as a pejorative ironically because that is not how anyone should ever talk and i
know that that's kind of like dealing with like are you but are you getting away with using it
pejoratively but ironically and aren't you just getting using it negatively so i don't really
know what the line is but i'm sorry met that as a joke i meant that as a punch line i don't want
anyone to think that's the problem nikki is i have heard now many people in my life say gay in the same way that you're going, that's gay or you're gay.
And it's made me laugh.
Whereas seven years ago, it wouldn't make me laugh.
Yes, exactly.
Okay.
Thank you for knowing the distinction.
I will field any DMs from people who are offended.
Only gay people, though, that are offended by me using gay in that way.
And I will not go, well, this is what I meant.
I will just hear you out. And I will say i will never say it again if you were truly offended by
that because i want to be do the right thing but i'm finding it funny to use that word and
well it's because it's um it's shocking now because you would never actually say that yes
you would you were not the person that would actually do that as an insult. You're doing it now to make us laugh as a shocking thing because it's something you would never do.
But I would never use the F word yet in that way.
That's not back to use in a funny way.
No, no, it's not.
I mean, I do use it in a joke, but I use it in a not ironic way, but I use it as it's not.
I really stand by the way I use it. I'm not going to do the joke right now, but in my stage act way but i use it as it's it's not i really stand by the way i use i'm not going
to do the joke right now but on in my stage act i do say it and i feel kind of iffy about it but
i actually don't because i know that my intention is to make fun of people who say it and it's not
to say it if you are gay you can use the f word and generally it's hilarious and that's actually
what i'm doing i'm doing an impression of a gay person in my act who's saying
that word and i know that's like you're just trying to get away with using it i'll give you
that but i don't think i am i think i was just trying to make a dumb point um wait okay so
but when did you guys get gay honestly and um start before you worried about toxins
when did what what bar would you i drink a spin spin drift because i don't like
like the forever chemicals that are in the other stuff i know spin drift it tastes like
it's good no it doesn't the spin drift is awesome i'm glad you like them spin drift i don't i think
it just is like someone said it's or maybe they said it's about la croix but it's like
someone thought about fruit around a water a tap water and
then that thought of fruit is what was injected into that it's just like the mere like someone
talked to it and said you're fruity but yours tastes like diet mine tastes like chemicals yes
like diet chemicals absolutely like somebody was drinking a chemically root beer with ice in it and
then they drank all the root beer and then they're like,
I want some water.
And then they put in like sparkling water and it's like,
there's it's in there,
but it's gross.
It's like somebody cleaned a window with Windex next to your water filter.
Yeah.
I definitely agree with you that what I'm drinking is your,
yours doesn't taste good to me.
It's always unsatisfying.
I will take them over a water for sure.
Water is just like the God's cruelest trick.
No, water is the best.
I wish I liked it anywhere outside of being so thirsty.
Why did God do this to us?
I don't.
Why do you make water?
I was just listening to Las Culturistas and they were talking about doing 75 hard, which
is like you have to drink 16 16 glasses of water a day impossible which i cannot believe people
aren't suing 75 hard for like hyperhidrosis where people's brains swell because they drink too much
water because you got to think a lot of people at the end of the day are like fuck i didn't get my
water in and i gotta make sure my app you know i can put it in my app um but that you have to drink 16 glasses i can't
imagine doing that no that's too much i wish i was someone who liked drinking water oh i love it
i know you do it's all i drink basically i know it's really impressive spinnies yeah it's really
impressive to me what about alkaline water i'm a total water snob that's all i drink now
it's got to be the right ph yes yeah if you buy it yeah i buy
it we actually have like a water store here and you can fill uh you know gallons of water there
and that's what we do we just bring home five gallon bottles that's the future and is did water
get worse since we've been adults as kids we were not caring about we've just learned more and i'm
sure brian could tell you more but they they put fluoride in the water um you know and that's not it's not great for other things it's
great for your teeth but it's not great for like your brain and other stuff okay but also generally
water quality has improved uh in many places just because of true uh us regulating corporations from
dumping things into lakes and rivers but that's all gonna be
pushed back it'll all be 25 y'all um stay positive just the just the idea of the flint
michigan disaster makes you be like i think i need to get this from somewhere else well what's
st louis killer water best best we were told growing up st louis's water won so many awards
that they stopped even submitting
for them whoa simone biles of water yeah there you go yeah she got the more recent i think
whenever someone comes over my house and they they drink water from the tap i think they're insane
i just would never not do that the only thing the only time water tastes different to me is if it's
like doesn't it doesn't taste cold.
That's what changes the enjoyment of water.
I will drink water that's been sitting in a dog bowl for a week because you went on vacation if it has ice in it and it's in an ice glass.
I will not know the difference.
I literally won't know the difference.
I remember going to the Lake of the Ozarks, which is where we went vacationing growing up.
It's what the show Ozark is based on.
And you would go there and the water tasted like it had dirt in it.
And I was like, this is a problem.
You're so sensitive to taste.
It's a real good thing to be, I think.
But you said even when you were growing up going to Catholic church, you would have to leave a lot of times because of the incense smell.
Oh, yeah. Because the priests were raping you.
No.
No.
That part wasn't true.
No, the incense didn't smell.
I said it a little candle.
Yeah, you said that you would tell your parents, like, I'm out of here.
But you were young when you were doing that.
Like, for a kid to be that sensitive to smells that young.
Hated scents from a really young age.
Do you, like, Noah or Brian, do you guys like candles and stuff?
Nikki casually likes them, I think. Yeah, well, I have had a storied history of having horrible reactions to something I had to overcome.
And so I can relate.
I relate, too.
I cannot stand the smell of incense.
And it has to be like a very specific candle.
But I want to be a girl who does like candles.
But they just...
Candles are bad.
They're bad for your indoor air quality.
But why does no one talk about it?
Why is no one talking about it?
We're talking about it right now.
There are girls.
Finally, someone is.
We have a platform.
There are girls that worry about fluoride and water and worry about chemicals in their food.
And they promote candles constantly on Instagram.
Candles seems like such an obvious hazard to me.
Well, there are better candles and worse candles.
You could have a soy candle and those are better than having the
stuff you get from Target and so they're a little bit
better for you. But if you want to talk about air pollution
in your home, the number one thing
that causes air pollution in your home. No.
Does anyone, Chris, do you know? Yes.
You know, Nikki? What is it? Nobody
knows? Laundry? No. It
is cooking.
Cooking on your stove. Good thing we don't do that.
Doing it in your oven.
If you don't turn on your overhead vent,
then you are inhaling the equivalent of a wildfire every time you make a chicken parmesan.
Oh my God.
You need to turn on that overhead vent.
There have been studies that have connected cancers
to people cooking without putting on their vent
or opening their window.
Smoke just fills your house.
I like how now with cancer, we're just like like no one's even trying to trace where it comes from
everyone gets it and it feels like it used to we used to go like which what is what is this one
coming from aaron brockovich would come in with some folders and investigate and her tits out and
she'd go what we're let's connect this and now it's just like no no, it just happens. I read about a bunch of people getting cancer because of a Bitcoin mine.
Oh, yeah.
It was like close by.
Yes.
All of the radiation from the servers.
And I did not know that Bitcoin, I thought Bitcoin was an idea.
I didn't know that it needed servers.
Oh, no, Nikki, it's real.
I really had no clue.
No one loves it.
Holy smoke.
I really thought Bitcoin was just numbers in a machine.
Bitcoin is bad for the environment, Nikki.
I know.
What the fuck, dude?
Well, we will not investigate this when we get back from break after this.

I'm Minnie Driver,
and I set out to explore this idea in my podcast, Minnie Questions. our experiences can lead us to drastically different answers. I'm Minnie Driver,
and I set out to explore this idea in my podcast, Minnie Questions.
Over the years, we have had some incredible guests. People like Courtney Cox,
star of the infinitely beloved sitcom Friends,
EGOT winner Viola Davis,
and former Prime Minister of the UK, Tony Blair.
And now, Minnie Questions is returning for another season. We've asked an entirely new
set of guests our seven questions, including Jane Lynch, Delaney Rowe, and Cord Jefferson.
Each episode is a new person's story with new lessons, new memories, and new connections to
show us how we're both similar and unique. Listen to mini questions
on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Seven questions,
limitless answers. We want to speak out, we want to raise awareness, and we want this to stop.
Wow, very powerful. I'm Ellie Flynn, and I'm an investigative journalist. When a group of models
from the UK wanted my help, I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment
industry. I really wanted to be a playboy model. Lingerie, topless. I said yes please. Because at
the centre of this murky world is an alleged predator.
You know who he is because of his pattern of behaviour.
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.
Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in.
It's not just me. We're an army in comparison to him. Listen to The Bunny Trap on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I started to live a double life when I was a teenager. Responsible and driven,
and wild and out of control. My head is pounding. I'm confused. I don't know why I'm in jail.
It's hard to understand what hope is when you're trapped in a cycle of addiction.
Addiction took me to the darkest places.
I had an AK-47 pointed at my head.
But one night, a new door opened, and I made it into the rooms of recovery.
The path would have roadblocks and detours, stalls and relapses.
But when I was feeling the most lost, I found hope with community.
And I made my way back.
This season, join me on my journey through addiction and recovery.
A story told in 12 steps.
Listen to CRIMS as part of the Michael Dura Podcast Network.
Available on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts,
or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right.
Hey, should we,
the last podcast was the one we did with your brother-in-law and sister-in-law.
Yeah, we need an update.
Is it update time?
Yeah, it's update time.
So part of me thinks like
when you talk about your travel woes that it feels like you're telling somebody your dreams
and nobody wants to hear your dreams but i think we kind of have a decent story here i think there's
a way to tell it in a way that we don't get too caught up in the details because travel nightmares
are all kind of similar yeah so let's plow through the travel nightmares and get to the cool taylor swift things in the cool vienna and thank you for saying that like let's put out a
reminder out there right now that no one cares about dreams nobody cares about your dreams
everyone already knows this metaphorically literally that has been totally um publicized
i think we've all heard some kind of version of like you know it was said in always sunny i think
in the pilot episode that i don't want to hear about your dreams it's like uh vacation photos unless i'm in them and there's
sex going on i don't want to i don't want to hear about your dreams and and i would even say i don't
even care if i'm in people's dreams because sometimes people will share a dream they had
about me as if there's some kind of significance to it and all it says to me is that you're
struggling with me in your life like it just
tells me that there's something you're too like it doesn't help me in any way because people be
like nikki i dreamed you got snl and that you won an academy award and like like it's like
means something to me like i'm gonna get it because of their dumb dream and i'm like no
you need to go to therapy and talk about your relationship with your father. And you're,
whose name was Oscar or whatever.
And you were molested while watching SNL.
But it wasn't,
but it wasn't her father,
but it was,
but it was.
Yes,
exactly.
So anyway,
let's get to what happened to us.
What was,
what was done to us?
So we,
we did the last podcast from Dulles in a double tree that we got put up in
very nice it was nice yeah it was really it was nice of them it was a nice hotel we enjoyed
ourselves we did the podcast and then we were like okay let's go sightseeing we didn't really
we went we went to lunch it smelled bad in the restaurant but we really liked the menu so we sat outside we're sitting
outside um that's during the lunch so the last podcast people don't we thought we were just
gonna get on a flight to taylor yeah everyone knows now what happened taylor's here sorry the
dog's barking so we're sitting at lunch and we're having fun just talking and chatting. We've accepted that we are leaving at 845, which is literally, you know, 24 hours, 20, no, 32 hours after we were originally supposed to leave.
And we have now have to go to a different country.
We were going to fly direct to Vienna.
Who gives a shit?
We've accepted it.
It's fine.
We're going to go to Smithsonian.
Things are going to be fine.
We're sitting at lunch and um i just look at my phone and
i saw the news that uh eras tour is canceled unbelievable and i put my head in my hands and
i didn't say anything but i just like looked at my group and i just said the worst thing happened
the worst i mean unimaginable something you wouldn't even be
able to like predict yeah no ever and they go is a flight canceled and i go you wish i didn't say
that but i go no and they go what and they go they go concert canceled and i'm like yes and i just
was so sad and they're like maybe maybe it's not true it and because i saw it on an
account that was like eras tour concert account but it's not official account yeah so it said like
eras tour canceled or something and then we saw something that was more that was more recent that
was like not sure if it's canceled yet we're like maybe it's not canceled and then like 30 minutes later it was like everybody was like this is before i saw it on
your instagram stories i saw it on cnn.com yeah you typed in dot com i can't i've been doing that
a lot lately going to cnn.com i don't know why no good for you i just like i'm not checking just an
app i'm just procrastinating and like i need a website to go to because I don't go to Facebook anymore or anything.
Right.
CNN.com.
I will say that, just side note, on Girls Chat last night, and we're recording this on Tuesday, by the way.
Okay, so it's Tuesday.
And last night at like 10 p.m. Central Time on Girls Chat, Hala comes in in who you know from the podcast and she's like you guys drive
by which is what we say in girls chat if you have if you don't have a time to catch up on everyone's
messages and you just want to say something you just say drive by and you go drive she said drive
by if you guys want to get an ab workout this is one of the funniest things i've ever seen in my
life and i and i said to chris chris what do you think holla is so late to the game on for like
bringing it to our attention
being like this is the funniest thing you guys have to see this as if we hadn't seen it
that's really funny he goes he goes is it like is it she should have like five years late or like
five days late i'm like five days late but like it has been everywhere for five days what is the
one thing that has been everywhere for five days that is making everyone laugh and that holla somehow had just political
not political yeah i don't know i i guess i'm not plugged in either olympics oh the olympics
yeah in the olympics in the funniest thing oh oh the uh pommel horse guy no no what
five days old.
That's not crazy, but this is bigger than all of those. It's bigger than that one.
It's bigger than the Olympics.
That's an ab workout?
Yeah.
No, no, no, no.
Because you laugh so hard.
She's saying because you're laughing so hard.
Oh, I get it.
Okay, because you're laughing so hard.
Something happened in the Olympics that was so funny.
I have no idea.
So ridiculous.
Come on.
Can I guess even though I know the answer?
Wait, can I get another
hint? Of the second part of that sentence.
It's
an
Australian woman.
If you
have not seen this, I am going to
lose my mind. CNN.com is not
doing you any favor brian and
holla need to be friends oh my okay i i i don't know you're plugged in i am i bet you're a break
dancer he'll know no i do not know because i purposely i turned off break dancing because
i said i was watching it and i was like this is not as good about watching the break dancing no
one watched it wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be.
It's about having a fucking phone and being online.
I don't have a phone, Nikki.
I go to CNN.com.
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
How have you not seen Reagan, the breakdancer?
I was laughing so hard at Paula acting like this is just some kind of novel news.
I'm on Hollis' side.
She's so cute because I think she literally checks her phone every five days.
So she works under a rock, literally. I'm on holoside she's so cute because I think she literally checks her phone every five days so she was
she works
she is behind
yeah
she works under a rock
literally
and so
she is behind
and she often does this
on girls chat
she'll be like
you guys
she just found out
about chapel roan yesterday
too
like last week
it was chapel roan
I mean she was putting out
videos in 2019
no one was talking about her
how have you not seen
the break dancer
I haven't
can we show him
so we can get a
because no one is witnessing this break dancer for the first time anymore except brian franji
and if you're a listener who hasn't heard about the break dancer either what is going on because
i gotta say i showed chris she was and i am not you know i don't even like the olympics there's
me my algorithm is not giving me olympic stuff they don't they know it's not going to be
successful with me but she was on every single thing i showed you it was like five posts in a
row about she was like nikki glaser after the tom brady honestly it was it's it was everywhere
after noah lyles got covid and fucked america and all the future events and then started talking
shit about uh nfl players i was like all
right that was crazy i'm out what i was all in on noah lyles i thought he was amazing he's a
man alive and i know he beat the guy the first time and then he got coveted and he got bronze
yeah which is great which is impressive okay all right is this her dancing oh yeah this is it okay
okay so so what's. Is there context to this
or is it just watch the video and you'll understand?
She's just not good.
She's just not a good break dancer.
I mean, look at these moves.
She's 32,
which is impressive that she can move like this at 32,
but it is fucking insane.
Someone said it looks like their cat before bed, which I thought was really funny.
Breakdancing is a stupid sport.
It should not.
I don't think it should be competitive.
I don't think it should be the other person fronting while the other person's dancing.
I think that's insane.
The one person's dancing, and then the other person's just kind of crossing their arms,
nodding their head like, oh, yeah, you think that move was good?
I think if they're going to do breakdancing in the Olympics, nodding their head like oh yeah you think that move was good i think if
they're gonna do break dancing in the olympics it should be judged like gymnastics where you go up
you do your routine and then you get a score i think it is no there's a there's like your opponent
is up there like reacting what and it's match for match and then that you go you that then who
decides who wins the opponent reacting i mean i think there's judges or maybe the audience goes, oh, snap.
Yes, how many people go, oh, snap.
There's an oh, snap-o-meter.
Oh, my God.
No, this was, I thought Hala was late to it.
Brian, I cannot believe.
Have you been just really working really hard or something and not on your phone a lot?
Oh, yeah.
Brian's very busy.
He is.
I've been working, but I've been, you know, I've been watching theics and i've been watching all sorts of things i just totally missed this australian
break dancer i can't believe she's also like seen it i know it showed up in your feed and you just
probably probably were like i'm not gonna watch anything break dancing and you scrolled past it
quickly because it's it's it's everyone the funniest rendition of it has been rachel dratch
on rachel dratch did a hilarious impression of it on Fallon last night.
Really?
It's brilliant.
It's so good.
It's also one of those things that's so big that people do their own jokes and put them
in memes and stuff.
And you're just like, I can't believe how funny everybody in the world is.
Yes.
Australians are doing funny things.
I mean, everybody's making fun of this girl in a different way.
She's taking it pretty well, though.
I haven't seen her reaction yet.
So what the thing I read about it was that break dancing will not be in the
2028 Olympics.
The only reason it was in this is that because the dancing Federation that
was trying to get ballroom dancing in and they couldn't get ballroom in
because the Olympics knew that it would not be lucrative in terms of people
don't want to see it,
which that's interesting that that even matters
to yeah of course this is a money making but then why do they have sharpshooters and and fencing
like who's what who is that getting gen z interested so they picked break dancing to
get gen z interested which i don't think gen x was into break dancing clearly this one's 32 years
old doing the kangaroo hop across the dance floor yeah
skateboarding is working for sure but break dancers like people that are really into it
no all the competitors are 35 years old furious about they said it was like um it would be like
if a a grade school basketball player went and played against lebron yeah like her doing that
her like that's how ridiculous she looks and she qualified
because i think her husband was a judge in the qualifying like they've determined that well
and she is she has a phd in breakdancing by the way wow i was just gonna add that you should not
no athlete should have a phd in the sport they're competing with that it seems that almost
disqualifies them from being athletic to have a phd in the sport like how are you shouldn't hit the books can't be a nerd and a jock reading
yeah we know that they you just get passing grades because they want you to come although
there is that one um is it gabby douglas um who has like a a doctorate and she's like going to
yale or harvard or something i'm sure i mean there's some that are just you know some people are just extraordinary in so many ways but break i think
it's the break dancing thing is so embarrassing to the olympics oh yeah are they humiliated by
this they have to be this is insane that simone biles and that one get to be in the same fucking
parade also like there's only so most most people are talking about more people are talking about
ray gun now than almost anything else without question she has she has she has taken the gold
in terms of media spotlight coverage of these olympics she won the gold she did
turkish shooter beat turkish shooter he was cool. She beat the in, you know, the girthy
pole vaulter. Yeah, oh yeah.
That was an incredible moment.
That's insane.
I don't understand how
you would let your penis be
that willy-nilly if
that could possibly ever interfere.
It's obviously such an impediment to
hitting the pole.
Why there wouldn't be like a
cup or something for that like how do you that seems really he's in a no-brainer it's happened
before this isn't the first time it's happened yeah i can imagine doesn't all of this stuff
nikki make you like the olympics like being like the zeitgeist yeah that it's kind of shown that
it's not that cool and that it's not that prestigious and that it's not to be taken
that seriously i kind of do like that on top of every year those things there are olympic athletes who are who are
competing to the peak of their athletic ability yes and then you also have these little side
stories which are fun and funny no i love the memes that come out of the olympics i am i am
all about it and i think that's a real that's a fun thing that i'll look for the next time that
we go into the olympics is like how many funny pictures and cool pictures and just you know that one picture of the guy surfing where
he's like standing straight up so cool so cool the one of the rugby the girls rugby team where
she picks her lifts her up to get it i mean there's some cool shots obviously amazing feats
of athleticism i just do i just don't care and i don't think they care about my feats of comedy
either like i think it's a it's okay to not care.
I am starting to care about football, and I'm sincerely starting to care about it.
But I just don't.
I care about gymnastics, but I didn't watch it.
I don't know what.
I had a nap going on or something.
I don't know what was happening with me.
And let me tell you about what I dreamed about.
I was at the Olympics.
But it wasn't the olympics so i will say that this ties into our
trip because as long as i can make some find the jokes within it and i don't want to be like i'm
such a comedian that like as long as i can make it about a joke i can get there but as long as
there becomes a task of writing jokes and who can write the most jokes and the fastest jokes and the
best jokes the quickest about something that's why i used to love twitter when there was like an event we were
all watching together because it was like who's gonna make the best joke about this thing we're
all gonna make a joke about but who's gonna phrase it the best it was like a competition
it's in it's always zach borenstein oh almost always that guy nails it so well um but we were
doing that that's what we did and that's what i did
the fish show as soon as i came up with that fun fish game of just like making breaking news stories
about all the fish attendees it became fun for me in a new way and then we i have museum fatigue
that i get have we even finished like the taylor swift stuff because we also need to get to kind of
the the magical moments yes that came out of
that but we can talk about museum fatigue i just want to get back to say that one of the most fun
things that came out of this trip was we were going to museums and i i did this one time when
we were a museum on in a fight it was like 2021 and i started taking pictures of things and i was
like oh i'm just like not in the mood right now because we weren't talking it was before we
learned how to work through things.
And I was taking pictures of paintings.
And then I was putting them on my Instagram story and making memes out of them of when
you find out you have herpes.
It's one of my favorite Nikki Glaser Instagram stories.
It's so fun.
Yeah, yeah.
I think I've highlighted it for a while.
It was once highlighted.
But anyway, thanks, Brian.
And so that's what i
was that's what we were doing at the museum this trip but i can't even share any of them because
they were all based on inside jokes that happened on the trip so we would just take pictures and
then chris me matt and lauren were all like in a in a it almost felt competitive that we would get
we would get home from a museum and then we would all we even in the cab sometimes we would just sit in the lobby of the hotel on our phone silently just
sending to the group chat a picture of the museum and then a caption with it and just making each
other laugh while sitting in silence next to each other and it was the most fun thing it was the
most fun thing on the trip we're gonna make like a book out of all of them because there's literally
hundreds of them we i think now we're gonna start a tradition of going to make like a book out of all of them because there's literally hundreds of them. Oh, that's great. Public domain. I think now we're going to start a tradition of going to cities together and then we have to go to the, even if it's a dumb museum.
Yes.
So that we can make.
So we can get content because we went to a couple museums that didn't have a lot of content.
We went to like the Museum of Natural History and that just had stuffed like, you know, antelopes and zebras.
And there's not a lot you can do with animals
faces they're all kind of looking the same so it's always like a look of shock or it's like a face
they make they're all kind of just like oh and so um we we then we went to a palace but anyway
that just made it so much fun for me and, was the highlight of my trip was sending each other meme photos.
And then we also all watched a movie together.
They watched it in their room.
We watched it in our room.
And we made jokes the entire movie.
Like almost like Twitter, where we were just writing each other.
And we started at the same time.
And our goal was to collectively all just make as many inside jokes as possible.
It made it so much fun.
That is why I like watching things with a group i like doing things as a group doing things alone sucks because you can't make
inside jokes bottom line back to the story we find out taylor swift is canceled i'm devastated
i'm like i just want to go home like i just i don't want to fly through zurich i don't want
to now get on a flight for eight hours and then another flight for an hour to then land and we
don't even have our fucking bags like you were dejected fuck this yes even
though i've been to 17 taylor swift shows this does hurt my overall number which was going to
end up being 22 which is a taylor swift number and it meant something to me to have 22 and also
i just wanted to fucking see the show why is 22 like a number for her 22 it feels like one of those nights let's just we ditch the
whole scene i could keep going but it's a song right so what's it called 22 did you like when
i sang most people hate it so um also dogs really respond to sounds that humans can't handle.
So it's... Arr!

What if you asked two different people the same set of questions?
Even if the questions are the same,
our experiences can lead us to drastically different answers.
I'm Minnie Driver,
and I set out to explore this idea in my podcast, Minnie Questions.

star of the infinitely beloved sitcom Friends, EGOT winner Viola Davis, and former Prime Minister of the UK, Tony Blair.
And now, Mini Questions is returning for another season.

I'm Ellie Flynn and I'm an investigative journalist.
When a group of models from the UK wanted my help,
I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry.
I really wanted to be a playboy model.
Lingerie, topless.
I said, yes, please.
Because at the center of this murky world
is an alleged predator.
You know who he is because of his pattern of behavior.
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.
Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in.
It's not just me. We're an army in comparison to him.
Listen to The Bunny Trap on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I started to live a double life when I was a teenager.
Responsible and driven and wild and out of control.
My head is pounding.
I'm confused.
I don't know why I'm in jail.
It's hard to understand what hope is when you're trapped in a cycle of addiction.
Addiction took me to the darkest places.
I had an AK-47 pointed at my head.
But one night, a new door opened.
And I made it into the rooms of recovery.
The path would have roadblocks and detours.
Stalls and relapses.
But when I was feeling the most lost, I found hope with community.
And I made my way back.

it's gonna be okay i wasn't like crying sad i did hear a lot of stories about swifties like
literally hyperventilating in tears catatonic obviously that probably has something to do with
the fact that it was maybe the only show they could go to and yes i've been to 17 and so maybe i wasn't as sad because of that but i was fucking sad because the
only reason i was going there was for those shows and you just came off like four days of hard
travel in california like you're constantly traveling it was that was a lot and we had
basically a 30-hour layover in dc and and it was hot out and it smelled in the restaurant
and it was just all bad timing yeah and i just finished my meal and I'm always sad after meals because it's just, I have
to wait another five hours till I get to eat again.
And it's just like, what the fuck am I supposed to do till then?
What is this new thing you're doing?
Biting my leg and digging on my thigh.
And so we were, um, we were sad, but then we started walking, moping.
I would say I was moping.
You were moping.
You were like Charlie Brown.
Yeah. I was a little bit like I was hanging my head. I would say I was moping. You were moping. You were like Charlie Brown. Yeah.
I was a little bit like, I was hanging my head.
It was like Arrested Development.
I was being a little pouty bitch.
That one episode.
Yeah.
I was being sad.
And so, but I was just like, you know what?
I've seen, I don't get to be sad about this.
I'm just going to like suck it up.
And I'm grateful that the people I'm with aren't huge Swifties that I have to like deal
with their feelings about it. Because everyone's yeah we're just talking about vienna too
and the hanging yeah yeah and i was not on board with those things yet i was still out i was still
out to lunch on those what is it called when you're like out of i was still working on it
what's it i know there's a turn of phrase for it but anyway so i was still um
unsure about how i felt about that but i i think i was just being a little bit like um hyperbolic
when i was lukewarm to go home yeah i was definitely lukewarm i was luke skywalker
i don't know what that means okay anyway so i am warm cool hand luke other lukes uh luke perry oh yeah yeah you were luke perry because i
was dead i felt uh like i didn't want to be alive anymore and i will say this too please don't judge
me for this i can't help my thoughts this is my first thought please no one come at me you cannot
cancel me for this because i literally am just saying what I thought and I can't help my thoughts
There is no free will I can't choose what floats into my brain, but I did not even think
About the terrorist attack at all for the first I would say two days
a day
Like I just thought I was just like I don't get to go to a taylor show show
There was no part of me that was like, I almost died in a terrorist attack.
And then anytime someone said, but at least you're safe.
And I was like, I would have died doing what I love.
And that was a joke, but it was kind of, it didn't occur to me that I only almost was in a terrorist attack.
Yeah.
I mean, the fact that it didn't happen, I feel like you can joke about it.
Right?
Yeah.
There was no attack.
That's amazing i'm
glad they prevented it yeah that holy shit yes heroic austrian what a decision to make too i
mean what a bold imagine you're the person with the job whatever it is chief of police of the city
that needs to say we have to cancel the eras tour imagine you're in charge of that decision
takes balls i mean a lot of people wouldn't have done
it they would have said we can get it done we can protect really has there been a statement
from the taylor camp no and i think there's a lot of think pieces about why she has not talked out
about it i think it's a safety issue um and and there are a lot of swifties that are discussing
on reddit like i know she can't say anything but I am really hurt that there hasn't been anything.
But I understand why she did it, but I'm still hurt there hasn't been any kind of acknowledgement from Taylor.
And it's just like.
She'll explain it perfectly.
She will.
She's doing.
She always does the right thing.
Her team.
Her team's figuring it out.
Probably with authority.
She probably can't say anything.
I know for a fact she's fucking devastated and that and terrified and um deals with so many threats against her life probably and stalker situations and just like
security issues that we don't even know a fraction of so um this has probably been very traumatic for
her i'm i'm sure because of what could have happened i mean it was supposed to be an attack
i think outside the stadium and potentially within the stadium and they're probably trying to figure
out a way to beef up security for other shows yeah wembley's gonna be hard for people better
get there early that's the next shows it's this weekend but um and and it's sad because there
used to be such a huge um crowd that would gather outside the stadium to celebrate together
and all get together and those aren't gonna to be happening but it sucks but the silver lining which i thought was really
cool yeah were these sing-alongs yeah we found them almost immediately when we got into town
so how like how did you find out that we just went to like the town square where i had already seen
on um on uh line that people had been gathering so there's already kind of like evidence in my feed
brian wouldn't have seen it because he didn't even see the fucking break dancer but like for me i'm
getting like definite like news updates from swifties and there was i saw oh there's a crowd
gathering and i assumed there would be we didn't even talk about like the uh oh yeah the tiktok
okay so we're at the airport at dulles about to leave or i'm just kind of
accepted it we went shopping i spent a bunch of money at madewell to literally i didn't need any
of the things i bought it was the first thing we did after we found out the news and i just like
was like oh my god i see why people spend money to like feel better and i i bought all black
clothing i will say that too i bought three black things i was like in mourning and i'm in they're
all baggy and awful they all look like things you'd wear to a funeral i was seriously so sad so then we get to
dullis and we're hanging out and my sister and i were like i think we had already made a tiktok
about um or a video on my instagram story about um going to a taylor swift show and our flight
was delayed and stuff and it had gotten
a little traction i was like we should make another one about this and she was like yeah maybe and then
we sit down she gets out her notebook and she starts writing it and i was like kind of not in
the mood to do it and that i had said maybe we should do one hours prior and i was like i'm not
in the mood now i just want to go get food and get ready for this flight and she started jotting
down some notes and then i was like well i can't just let you do this on your own so then i started helping and then we wrote
this um we took the bridge of cruel summer and we wrote a parody song about the tour the you know
shows being canceled and we wrote it really quickly within i would say like 10 minutes
and we really like struggled over it she was very upset because i was trying to rhyme like pants with like uh sense or something like and i was like if we just sing it in a way it can rhyme
and she was like no it has to rhyme exactly so she was really adamant about that we kind of got
into it we settled on this final thing and then we kind of forgot about it and i go we're about
to board our plane and i'm like lauren we have to we have to record this now because it's about being at the gate and we this will not work out of context because one
of the we can change that line and do it later on the plane or something but it really helps if
we're there at the gate so we're boarding the plane we get out of line we leave our bags with
chris and matt and we go we're just gonna go record this and sit down in the chairs at the
gate so our plane is boarding we're recording this and it's really hard to do because she has the lyrics up
but they're hard to memorize and we're taking each line by each line and it's we're fucking it up
over and over like we can't get through it we probably did like 10 takes and at this point
chris and matt matt are at the front of the line and i'm like we gotta give up like we'll we'll
just rewrite it and we'll write it for the plane and And she's like, no, let's just do one more.
So we do one more.
We fucking nail it.
And then we instantly run over to Chris and Matt,
who are being kind of detained at the front of the line.
They're trying to board.
And there's a snafu.
Something has gone asunder.
Wow.
And so, thank you.
I got a word a day calendar three days ago, and those were two of the words.
And so then, that's not true.
And so, we go, what's going on?
And I'm like, oh my God, another fucking issue?
Like, they're not allowed to board.
There's an issue.
Your seats have been reassigned.
I'm like, what?
And we get on, and the seats are now in the seventh row and we're all four in the seventh
row and we go what's going on here we get on the plane and what do we have like the best
business class seats you could possibly imagine possibly imagine we got an upgrade upgrade i have
no status with united i have no status with austrian air have no status with Austrian Air. I have a little bit of status with United.
I mean, I am on like the bottom.
There's, I don't know how this, it was like a miracle.
We still to this day don't know what happened, but we got to lay down.
And have meal service and hot towels and tea and breakfast.
Nikki experienced almost none of it because she was asleep for probably
seven of the eight hours but that is the reason you love those seats is because you can sleep
horizontally the whole time and get a full night's sleep so we boarded at 8 45 i was asleep by 9 45
and then we land in zurich and my sister and i've got a six and a half hours of sleep
wow and matt and when you land we find out that video has three million views yeah insane and to this day right now i think it's at 5.8
it was it last night i'm sure it's at six by now or instagram isn't it yeah aren't you on tiktok
yeah didn't someone they played it on um like entertainment Tonight or something. Wow. Nikki Glaser and her sister Lauren
were stuck at the gate.
It said Lauren Glaser on the chyron
and she was like,
that's not my name,
but that's fine.
But we,
and then we started getting recognized
around Vienna for the TikTok.
Oh my God.
The thing is,
most of those millions of views,
if you are a Swifty that is in Vienna,
someone has sent you that TikTok.
Someone you love that's back home. Someone's like like you got to see this because this represents your experience
and every single swifty that was going to vienna had that moment of finding out someone texted them
or they saw on their feed that was canceled i i i that's what was my question of everyone i met was
like where were you when you found out like what happened princess diana really it really was that moment literally everyone i talked to was
like i cried a lot and then we met a therapist while we were in vienna that is a local vienna
therapist and so she was dealing with clients who live in vienna and she was like nikki i think i
want to write i'm not doing a good viennese accent, but she was like, Austrian accent,
but she was like,
I want to write a dissertation on.
I want to write a dissertation.
She was like on the phenomenon of Swifties
because I had four adult women sobbing
in my practice on Thursday
because of the news,
sobbing,
losing their minds.
And I understand that and she
i go do you hear about taylor swift a lot just not even from those four women but like in general
she was like all the time all of the time it is something that it's a mass psychosis
and i said it's it is emotions like people going to therapy are trying to work through emotions
and they're usually girls who are blocked from their emotions. And as a girl who's blocked from my emotions,
Ms. Taylor Swift helps me access them.
And that is what I attribute
me loving Taylor Swift so much to.
If you can get a PhD in breakdancing,
you will eventually be able to get a PhD
in Taylor Swifting.
I would probably take those courses.
In fact, I'm actually doing-
You could teach the courses.
I'm actually going to be teaching a course
I'm doing um for the university
of i think alabama someone asked me they're doing a course on taylor swift and they want me to do a
um a guest no i guess lecture yeah i guess lecture so i'm doing one coming up i think um in uh
october i'm zooming in to a class so at alabama you can take a class on taylor swift i think it's alabama i
might be wrong what's the purpose of this class what's the major that you're in i mean um it is
let me pull it up oh my god i typed in taylor swift on my thing and it's like
there must be some academic connection to taylor swift i guess you could take just like
like ally took a class on like
I don't know the Beatles I think in college
but doesn't that just seem like if I
was a parent I'd be like why
am I paying? No because
it's if you are involved in
analysis of poetry
and stuff like it's she's a poet
University of Tennessee Knoxville
it is I'm writing
to start a convo between you me me, and the fabulous Taylor Swift class,
professor herself, Darcy Morris.
It is, let's say what it is.
I'm not sure how much she told you about the class.
It is called Gender, Culture, and Media, Taylor's version.
And we will be examining her from every possible angle.
In our semester-long study of Taylor Swift, we will explore fan culture, celebrity culture,
girlhood, music industry, ethics, marketing and promotional strategies and social media theory
along with race sexuality and feminism um my most important classes in college were about media
and and talking about sitcoms honestly there was because that's the things that you were interested
in yeah but i learned so much that helped that helped me yeah i mean it i don't think there's any
kind of college course you can roll your eyes at if it really does cater to what you're into
and what your parents are paying for well it should be preparing you for it just happened
to prepare you for your career whereas you know i if there's a connection between this taylor swift
class and what these people will ultimately be doing as to make money then i then i said there's
a seems like it's covering a wide breadth of topics,
which is probably why they got it approved
by whoever approves classes.
Yes.
But I think it teaches,
obviously you'll be writing papers
and analyzing things.
No matter what you're analyzing,
writing papers and having to find some meaning
in something that might not be on the surface there
is valuable and right and
and consider yeah just studying art of any kind why is taylor swift so i mean i'm coming around
because like why is taylor swift not as legitimate as like the peloponnesian war or like you read a
shakespearean sonnet like why is shakespeare elevated because it's old dude right exactly that's
what i'm saying that's why people talk about like the beatles or bob dylan and or um you know i
studied i had took a jazz course that was so interesting but it's like what is the difference
they were what what was like the syllabus like for the jazz thing it was all over the place Yeah It was more about the stuff You didn't learn We were going from
One to five
Then A, B
It was crazy
Yeah
It was
Yeah
It was the chapters
We weren't reading
Yeah
That was really
No we
Literally we watched
The Ken Burns series
Jazz
Every class
That's great
And it was once a week
And it was a three hour long class
And you just watch the movie
And you write a paper on it
At the end of the year
That's insane
And you read a few books About it It was awesome What a great way to spend the money is to but you know what it was great because it taught me how to
analyze art and literature and and literature because i had to read i had to read books about
jazz as well but it was like it and it forced me to watch this documentary i never would have
watched saying that you're just watching a movie but i think we have to go soon but
i want to hear well but I want to hear.
Final thought.
Well, no, I want to hear more about the sing-along stuff.
What did you feel about that stuff?
Honestly?
Oh, no.
Okay, so.
I thought it was amazing.
Okay, this was the cutest part.
I know it's a letdown for other people that were expecting a Taylor Swift show.
No, it was so cute.
I just have some notes.
Oh, no, don't do this don't
do this just talk about the good things about it well i'm a comedian chris and i gotta make fun of
some stuff and by the way it no there's nothing more i love than getting together with swifties
i've already said it like when eras tour ends i'm going to travel to towns where there are going to
be taylor swift sing-alongs just to go dress up and sing with other swifties i love it so much what i love
about it though is organization and that's what we were lacking in vienna because it was a last
minute thing but the speaker systems weren't good enough right for all the single and i know i'm
being negative and you're gonna you are wanting me to be positive what i did love was everyone
was dressing up for three days in a row dude three days in a row people were dressing up coming together in thousands at not only the
town square and in in zurich where the cathedral was uh in vienna in sorry yeah in in vienna but
also the um cornelia street that was cool because there's a song called cornelia street and there's
a street called cornelia street in um vienna it's called like cornelia gas which is cornelia road
or something whatever it was and um but it's this beautiful little tucked away kind of street
where throngs of swifties were there we went on saturday night this has been going on for three
nights that was the final night of it there were thousands of swifties and all singing her songs
and people um blasting her music out of the window just like people who lived in these flats i'm calling them flats yeah i guess otherwise i'm so european i'm so european
i took a lift they took the up the flat i was gonna say that they hold these speakers up in a
lift and but first i put them in the boot yeah yeah and um and i how many pounds they spent on
these speakers i don't even know oh wait no wait there's euros yeah it's crazy euros and they probably uh weighed a lot of autobahn yeah oh yeah oh god and i mean there
was just but there was i thought it was pretty you know obviously i'm pretty far removed from
the whole like swift universe but the fact that everybody banded together and was out there singing
the songs it was the first time i had really smiled since finding out about the news when we walked
into that square and suddenly we got out.
I was so ready to go back to the hotel.
I was jet lagged.
But Lauren and Matt and Chris were all like, we're pretty feeling good.
Let's keep walking.
I had also really, my feet were swollen from the plane.
We even talked about the benches.
Oh my God.
Do you have another podcast this week?
Yeah.
Okay.
We can talk about tomorrow.
But yeah, my feet were just like not feeling good and so i was just like ready to go home and i was so
sad like when i get tired i get really depressed and i was just like i don't even want to be here
and then we walked in that square and i was just like oh my god my people and then we started
singing lover and they were singing the songs all in the order of eris tour and i i and then i said
to chris and lauren and matt i was like you can just leave me here because
I knew that it wasn't something you would want to stay
for a really long time so they left
me for about you guys stayed for probably
three songs then you left and I stayed for another five
to ten songs and then
I had to eventually go because
there was just too much there was
a speaker in the front and I wasn't close
up to the front because I didn't want to push my way through
just to be like I want to sing you know like but people in the back weren't singing as much
but there was so the speaker was in the front and so everyone was singing with the speaker but if
you are just left to your own devices singing a taylor swift song and you can't really hear the
speaker you will sing way faster than is natural it everyone does it when i perform alone i always
perform faster it just you speed it up so in the back we were singing faster than the people in the front and it was fucking with my
life like i couldn't handle it and i was trying to get people on board like i was trying to clap
along with the one in the front so people could maybe like get on board and it was just causing
too much chaos in my brain to be and also i wasn't with the group who was singing first so i was late
to everything i just couldn't handle it and so i had to go to zara and escape but that was the only thing i was
like i wish the speaker system would have been better and i wish so many people wouldn't have
just been there spectating and that if you would have been there you would sing because if everyone
sang we would all be on the same thing but there are too many people just like what's going on
who are just like kind of judging and i didn't love that but i loved how many friendship bracelets were being exchanged how many just like looks of like
i get it girl that we all gave each other but everyone really seemed in great spirits it didn't
seem like this like i thought it was i thought it was magical yeah you were people on balconies
you know people there was a there's a family that was uh getting water for people because
obviously on the street there was no shops or anything around shops.
So like everybody like banding together, I think it was awesome.
It's like, I just love Swifty so much and I love being one and they're so cute.
And it was, it was truly, and Lauren and I were getting like recognized a little bit
because of our swifty
video like that felt good that people were nice to you yeah it wasn't like a ton of people and i was
i almost didn't want to be recognized because i just there's a video that someone took of me
getting recognized and having a picture taken with and i noticed in the video i had to cut it
because it looked like i'm being almost rude because as soon as we took the picture i just
like slinked away because i didn't i just never want to make Taylor Swift things about me even though that seems ironic
because I talk about her all the time but I just felt like this isn't my thing to be like I just
want to like blend in and I kind of just want to be I want people to go wow this girl's really
into it not this girl wants attention for like I like it because you are in your own world in these things like it doesn't seem like
you're worried about any of the things around you that you're just fully engaged and immersed
that's what i like it for you i really do i disappear from every worry i have in my life
i am not because you're basically sober about my and this is something that is like a full escape
it's a full escape it is it does you don't want
to be self-conscious you don't want to to have eyes on you for it because you just want to
blend in and the last thing i would want to do is like take away from anyone's joy around me so
it's just literally for me it feels amazing and it was it was awesome and i just i want to really
just reiterate to any swifties out there find a sing-along to go to i know that you're like maybe i don't i don't have anyone to
go with me go alone no one will care dress up you can't afford heiress tickets if you're not
gonna be able to go you are not going to miss that much if you just go to a sing-along it literally
feels the same to me that is no shade to taylor she puts on an amazing show but if you
want a big fraction of that experience it is just being around people singing her music together
because i i you you get that you you get filled up in that way going to these so i really i know
it sucks if you don't get to go see her and i meet so many swifties and i go when are you going to
eras and they're like never and i'm like i'm sorry but i'm
not sorry because you have an opportunity tickets are sometimes 15 bucks to go to these nights
and you gotta go do them you got it oh yeah the sing-alongs yeah the sing-alongs but um yeah it
was it was awesome it was a legendary trip more stories to come from it i'm sure tomorrow on the
podcast thank you guys for listening we gotta go b, I also want to hear about what's going on with your TV making experience.

um but i am i do know i've noticed i watched a video the other night of someone who worked for him talking about how it wasn't
a great experience.
Uh-huh.
Listen, anyone who is that successful.
I that's happened many times.
Can't have gone about it in ethical ways.
Right.
But that's happened many.
You just can't.
There have been many videos about Mr. Beast.
I have a beef with Mr. Beast and he's weathered them all with explanations.
He'll be fine.
I'm not worried about Mr. Beast.
There's going to be a video.
If that video is legit,
there'll be a video.
I'm not worried about it.
There's going to be a video
on another.
I'm not worried about any of this.
There's going to be a video
