The Nikki Glaser Podcast - #463 Nikki's Future Emmys, Modern Fame & A Torture Session!

Episode Date: August 22, 2024

The Emmys are just around the corner, and Brian can see Nikki absolutely slaying her acceptance speeches. Nikki’s slowly getting into the groove of being culturally relevant. While waiting for her Starbucks, small talk turns into some awkward flirting, and Nikki’s like, “Can we just cut to the chase?” Blake Lively is all over the headlines, and Nikki’s determined to show why she’ll be just fine in the long run—a classic story. Nikki shares her hack for dealing with sleepless nights, while Brian’s got his own quirky solution: a torture pillow. And speaking of torture, Nikki can’t help but cringe about a mind-numbing experience she had last week that she totally regrets.

Good, I've been walking around town uh uh going uh can you believe that nikki won two emmys uh it's incredible that she won those and

that speech was amazing and uh it's just amazing it was a really good speech um solid two like you mean we we won for editing and for yeah you won for editing yeah yeah i hope let's just say this i don't mean to because we're nominated we got we also were nominated not only did we win for best special pre-recorded but we won for editing as well or we were nominated and won for editing yes that's right the editing was good is guy hard Harding the editor? Mm-hmm. Wow. He's amazing. I love him so much. He edited Era's Tour. Whoa. That's pretty cool.

I know. It was awesome. I mean, that lineup was stacked. You had the Oscars lighting. You had the director of the Super Bowl. And the guy that lit. We were watching the documentary, We Are the World, how that got made, that song. You know?

Mm-hmm. Yeah. documentary we are the world like how that got made that song you know yeah and uh bob richardson who did my lighting for my special someday you'll die was in that documentary lit the we are the world like music video wow he was the one that was like setting up the lights when michael jackson was like practicing alone before everyone got there. And he's like in the documentary, we were watching it. We go, Oh my God, that's Bob.

Like it's, it's incredible. And Bob told me I had really good skin that day. That really made me feel good. And, um, he was like, you have really good.

He was like, I'm not just saying this. You have great skin. And I was like, no one's ever, you know, when like, you just don't get a type of compliment that you hear other people get.

Like I've said before in the show that no one's ever told me I smell good and that stands to be true and people have said it since just to like say it because they know i've never heard it but i've never sincerely gotten it my mom i think said it last week but she goes that's your shampoo right like she like it's never just like what my body smells like um but no one's ever been like you have great skit it's never been like um but no one's ever been like you have great skin it's never been like um something that someone has said to me apropos of uh nothing it's always been like you have good skin too after i've complimented theirs you know what i mean oh god what do you think about that so sometimes i'll compliment somebody or someone will compliment me and then i feel compelled to say something nice back to them and then this this new thing's happening, I think, post-internet, where people go, don't just

compliment me back. Just accept my compliment. I'm so sick of people getting mad at you when they compliment you and you say, that's so nice. And they go, it's not nice. It's true. They get mad at you. They go, I'm not being nice.

It's just like, well, now you're not. God, sorry. i don't know what to say what you if you reject a compliment you are in the wrong because you can't accept things and if you say thank you they go no i'm serious and you go i don't know how to make you shut up i'm uncomfortable with this i'm accepting it and then if you go that's so nice they go i'm not being nice and it's like but you but it is but i've said this before it's nice to say it you didn't have to say it and that is nice yeah um i know you're not lying i'm not accusing you of lying they want to extra prove that what they said

was i get it i've done it to be for two you know how do you do it how do you accept a compliment you just say thank you that means so much to me yeah i don't know that's what i've been trying like well we have the you know my famous uh nine i had to talk to anyone 92 uh big secrets for little secrets for big success where they did you write this or did you no this is that book that i read that taught me how to accept a compliment oh yeah okay and the answer was you compliment uh you compliment them for complimenting you which really works right um but i did a new thing so that the compliment if you say it was from a while ago yes if you say oh that's such a nice shirt brian and then i would say um well thank

you this is my favorite shirt that makes them feel so smart oh yes that's a good one yeah um i usually say like the other day christina hutchinson who's a comedian um posted about my special on her story and i wrote to her like thank you oh my god this this is so nice and she was like she wrote this whole really nice thing about it that really hit me. It was just like she had watched it and really, you could tell it affected her. And I just knew the kind of compliment she was giving me is the kind that I give when I really mean it. And I was just like, I wanted her to feel as good as it made me feel. So I was just like, and it did make me feel good because I think she's really funny and really smart and savvy and I just respect her opinion and I gotta say sometimes I respect some compliments mean more from some people she's cool to me so her compliment meant more and I just said

this means so much from you you made my day I often say you made my day you made my week you made my month based on uh how much it means but yeah like if it's a if it's a really good oh my god do you want to hear something crazy this might have made my like six months what is wow that's pretty high okay this is up there with like beating being cultural like moments where i'm like oh my god i'm i'm culturally relevant in a way i didn't know yeah um up there with being a new york times clue crossword clue like this is up there with that moment for me okay which happened may 21st 2023 um but this happened yesterday seth herzog who works on the tonight show doing warm-up um he texted me and said katherine o'hara just name checked you in her interview oh and first of all katherine o'hara if you don't know best in show schitt's creek mom and home alone one of the best comedic actresses of our time of all time yes

um i don't know this woman at all never met her never dm'd with her i've never even like done a shout out and she's liked it you know what i mean like there's been no crossover between us and i'm like and he thinks there has seth is just like oh you guys must be friends because apparently what did he say it's airing on Wednesday. So it's airing tonight, you guys, if you're listening to this on Wednesday. But he said that... What's the program? The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy tells this whole story about getting his sweater attached to Taylor before a show of hers.

Oh, like, he accidentally, like, I don't know. I guess his sweater got snaggled on her. And Catherine O'Hara says, that's Nikki Glazer's dream. Wow. You're just seeing like a, a, a tick tock or an Instagram or something. Yeah.

But that to me was cause Seth goes, you guys are friends. And I go, I don't, I've never even, that's how you prove that you don't know someone. I go, we never even DM like,

not only are we not friends, cause that's where you can be like, kind of like, ah, we're friends, but DM friends or whatever um that made me feel so good and i'm sure jimmy doesn't even know that i'm obsessed with taylor swift in that way he was probably like what talking about but that was really cool to me and made me feel like oh katherine o'hara on her own

referenced me in an interview with Jimmy Fallon again apropos of nothing uh I just thought that was that because you're a thing now you're you're a concept you are a figure in society yes I guess so I mean you're referenceable that's crazy at least for this year I am referenceable and it will it will you know you know, let it in. You're like, you're like Bill Clinton, you know, letting it in. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, it, it can come and go because they're the Huck to a girl is not going to be, we might know her name now. Do you think it is? Haley? Haley Welch. Haley Welch.

Yeah. Will you know her? Will she have name recognition? You might know her name now. All of you might. But will she have name recognition in a year? You might forget that name. I think we think once we know a name, we'll always remember it. And that's just not the case.

Devin Sawa isn't rolling off the tongue for me anymore like it was in 1994. Casey Anthony, though, on the other hand. Yeah, well, Lacey Peterson, Scott Peterson, gonna get into that. Watch that documentary on Netflix, which I

really recommend. Yeah, I'm part of the Zeitgeist. And I'm saying that. That made your six months, you say. But it probably made my six months, because that's a really funny, interesting... I don't know. It's such a little thing, but it was just so funny to me.

You know what would be funny? If someone complimented you and you were like, that made my minute. Yeah. Very low level. I feel okay. Sometimes they do. You know what makes my minute? When people say your dog is cute.

That doesn't even make my minute. That actually took away from my life. Because honestly, i know she's cute here's my new okay i'm gonna sound like a real bitch get ready to not like me everyone if a girl has her headphones in don't tell her her dog is cute she doesn't care she already knows that's why she has it even if it wasn't cute she would love it and think it's cute because everyone thinks their own dog is cute. So you validating that I already think my dog is cute is not what I need to hear.

And if I have my headphones in, I probably can't hear you, especially if they're AirPods Pro because they block out all the noise. I can't hear fucking shit. I can't hear a fire engine. I can't hear my car alarm going off right outside the Starbucks that I left my dog in because my dog moved a little bit. And so the car is honking for about three minutes while I wait for my Starbucks. I'm inside the Starbucks. Everyone in the Starbucks is like, why is this alarm? When is it going to go off?

I can't even hear it because my headphones are in. That's how much I cannot hear you. So when you talk to me, it's going to seem like I'm rude. Anyone from my apartment building who is listening to this and thinks that I am rude to them, I have never ignored you. I've always just had my AirPods in and I didn't hear you unless I kind of see your mouth move or your jaw move out of the corner of my eye. Then I take it out and go, huh? And then you go, I didn't to them. I have never ignored you. I've always just had my AirPods in and I didn't hear you unless I kind of see your mouth mood or your jaw move out of the corner of my eye. Then I take it out and go, huh? And then you go, I didn't say anything.

But most of the time you're saying my dog is cute and I know she's cute. Yeah. Stop talking to women with AirPods in! Is that the song you're listening to when you're walking your dog? It's, I had to get it auto-tuned, but yeah, that would be a hit. Sounds like a musical. I can't stand people talking to you when you have AirPods in. And I know you're like, well, I can't see.

Yes, you can. They're little white things. When I stuff toilet paper in my ear, like inside my ear, people can see it. And they're like, why do you have that in your ear? Because I'm like, it's too loud in this restaurant. so i know you can see my big ass airpods hanging out don't talk to me and especially stop trying to flirt with me like i've been getting flirted with and i know i've complained before that i never get flirted with but i don't like it it started and i don't know why i left the house yesterday to go get or two days ago on sunday

to get starbucks it took for fucking ever i was waiting in line it's not in line but like waiting for my mobile order and i was very patiently waiting and this guy came up to me and started talking to me about how my dog was cute yep and he literally asked me do i come here often i almost laughed when he said that and we were talking about what he does for a living then he asked what i do for a living i said i'm a comedian he said do you perform around here i said no he goes do you perform uh when you lived in la because we were talking about la and i said yes and i just cut to the chase and i go i'm famous i was just do you i know that sounds crazy but do you know what the conversation is like if i don't just cut to the chase if i say i'm a

comedian they go do you perform around here well no not really because i live here i usually perform i travel on the weekends to perform oh have you ever performed at the comedy store yep have you ever um i think uh there's a one down in um uh you know in san diego yep i perform there too now um well who do you uh do you ever think about maybe being on tv yeah i think i've been on tv before really what have you done and it's just like i'm famous just it says it just i swear to god it's more like me being like you're gonna find out on your own and it's like me kind of being like i'm a little teaser and i can't wait to find out it's it's more annoying and revolting to like string people along than to just be like i'm famous yeah and and i

really i didn't say it loudly i didn't say get braggadociously it was just like i don't want to tell you all the venues i performed at sir and so he goes oh really and i go yeah yeah i'm on um netflix and you know um max and how does he not know especially being in st louis you should have a little business card foreign man oh that's why yeah foreign men don't know shit no you know he was like he it wasn't like he just probably doesn't go isn't really aware of american comedy at this point but he did ask me if he was like we should keep in touch and i didn't know what to say i just go i have a boyfriend and he immediately was like got it and was like okay cool and i'm like that is so weird that okay this guy starts talking to me right and then i say i have a boyfriend and it's completely the conversation's over which i wanted it to be by the way like it was clear

that's what he wanted to get at it's so weird that that man the only reason he chatted me up was to put his penis inside me like that was the end game like why are this is why sex is so fascinating to me is like all this bullshit that comes between us and like me slobbing his knob like that is what he wanted as we're standing there and because i said i had a boyfriend that completely called out exactly what it was i'm already slobbing this man's knob. I can't slob yours. Because we can still hang out. He said, let's just keep in touch.

I'm allowed to keep in touch with men that I have a boyfriend. But because I said I have a boyfriend, we both knew we can never have sex. You can't have sex with me. And that is so weird to me that that is constantly like it's basically like oh well I was trying to fuck you this whole time yeah I guess I should leave because I don't want anything else from you I don't want to talk about comedy girl has to do when she

says I have a boyfriend that's what she's saying is that you can't put your penis in me and it's so interesting if we could just cut to that if a guy would just go up and say hey can I put my penis in you and you go no I have a boyfriend then we wouldn't have any of this other stuff because all of that stuff was just to get to the penis in me a little song and dance um dog and pony do you guys agree like are people trying to talk to you when you have headphones in because i know it is anti-social to have headphones on

and it is by design i don't want to socialize i don't i'm not someone who likes to talk to people about my dog being cute or their dog being cute. We both got dogs. Let's let them stuff each other and we don't need to talk about it. I have an interesting situation that is not headphones related, but it is dog related. And this is from the male standpoint. I have a neighbor who's probably like in her late 20s or something like that, a girl. And she has a dog and i have a dog and so very

often we are outside at the same time and i make a point to not like interact with this person because i don't want her to think that i'm one of these guys that's like oh let's let our dogs meet yeah and then oh isn't this cute that our dogs, hey, do you like comedy? Have you performed at the comedy store? And the problem is my dog, Jack, is obsessed with this dog. If this dog is a mile away, he will start yipping. Like, I've never heard these noises come out. Like, they come out of, like, the center of his soul.

And I'm like, and I just want to go up to the girl and say listen i don't want to have sex with you can you just let my dog hang out with your dog for five days i can't do it to be like i wish we could be that honest with each other of like i'm not like we but we can't say that either even though it's the opposite of what everyone's scared of it is literally the thing that would like make everyone feel not just not that any guy saying i don't want to fuck you does means he actually doesn't but it would make life a little bit easier to navigate if you just knew it was a thing or not like the second i drop boyfriend things can change in a conversation with a guy or the second they drop over the yeah it starts raining but i know what I know what you mean. Sometimes my dog wants to socialize and

I just don't want to. I really like people that just let your dog sniff their dog and we don't talk. Our dogs just talk. We just kind of go, okay, and then we talk through our dogs. Oh, he likes you. All right, we gotta go i

like the silence i like like oh hi and then just let the dogs talk and then go see ya that's the the dream yeah i know i want to be clear i'm not like completely anti-social i do like saying hi and nodding at people and like i'll say like anyone who's like working in my building i will take out my headphones and if they want to talk to say like anyone who's like working in my building i will take out my headphones and if they want to talk to me yes but other people who live in my question about the guy no what if the conversation ended like him you know you said you're famous and he goes oh that's so great i'm going to check out your work and then he goes have a nice day would any of your ego like hurt a little bit or something if he didn't appear to be hitting on you

no that would have been great that would have been great i i i wouldn't mind that at all like if someone's just like chatty because i was just sitting there and like i didn't mind chatting with him he was talking about la and about how st louis like it was good during covid because new york was oh no he lived in new york he said during covid. Louis, he moved here during COVID and it was like great because we didn't care about masks and everyone was running around and it was like, he was escaping New York

which felt like really lonely. But now that COVID has lifted, New York is like, he misses, now St. Louis feels really lonely because compared to New York, it is. And there's like one block

that I live on that is similar to Manhattan. He's like, but this is the only place part of St. Louis I've found that makes me feel even similar to manhattan one block yeah and so um that was an interesting conversation which i'm earnest happy to have um but i yeah i just like attractive no yeah that's the problem yeah i mean you gotta not to be at least a hot guy yeah I mean no

I mean I used to take offense when guys that weren't hot would hit on me and be like god is this he thinks that he has a chance with you it can be offensive especially when hot guys aren't hitting on you but then it's just like

you know yeah it's still offensive when i kind of run it through it's still like shouldn't you think i'm out of your leg but i'm not like i know the way i dress i came back home and to see chris and i go it just do do i look provocative because i just got hit on twice and he was like yeah you kind of look sporty and fun and um so i i guess he was kind of like, yeah. And I'm like, do you even want to stick your dick in me? He's like, oh, not right now. All right, we got to go to break. We'll be right back after this.

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 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. Um, we're back. So I watched this...

Oh, sorry, I was going to ask you about this New York Times piece. Was it New York Times? LA Times? so i watched this can you oh sorry i was gonna ask you about this new york times uh piece was it new york times la times la times they did a profile on you yeah that's pretty cool i didn't read it because i don't read anything that is written about me whether the title of it was pretty cool i read the title and that was nice. Why Nikki Glaser is the something. The biggest comedian right now or something like that. Yeah. Yeah. Did they say why?

I didn't see the whole article yet. Did they answer the question? I don't know. I asked the same question. I go, why? What is happening right now? I, yeah, it was really nice. I didn't even, I do so many interviews that I don't remember which are which some i remember that

one i do remember because it was a really good conversation but um yeah it was uh i didn't know that that was going to be the headline and of course my pr people sent an email being like look at this headline we got like they're not pushing for it like you just don't really know what's going to happen that's why there's so many times you know interviews go wrong because they come out and it's like a hit piece and you had the person would never agree to a hit piece it just comes out like they don't look good so yeah um yeah that was really nice and you know it's just it'll it's when whenever you're the it girl it's not gonna last long look at miss blake lively like you're gonna get taken down at some point like people are gonna come for your throat and you're gonna get people are gonna start going truly why

but right now i'm on the rise it feels good i'm gonna accept it i'm gonna enjoy the ride but the roller coaster is going to go down again and it's gonna go up again and like even blake lively like for a second i don't know if you've been following all the stuff that's been going on with her but there's like a backlash for her i'm not going to get into it because i don't want to give my opinion on it except for the fact that you know whether no matter how you feel about it whether you're team blake or you're anti-blake don't worry about miss blake okay because whenever a celebrity as big as she is and who's been along around for as long as she is it's it's time they decided it was time to take her down.

So she's getting taken down. Everyone's going to turn on her. And then guess what's going to happen? What always happens when someone has a backlash that does not involve sexual assault, that does not involve, and even when it involves sexual assault, let me just say there's a little bit of a comeback that you can enjoy. I think even Kevin Spacey had a comeback. But there will be.

There is a backlash to the backlash is coming. Blake will be just fine. She might have to go away for a year. So be it. That's fine. A year, maybe two. But then what are we going to see? We're going to see her on the cover of something with her arm like this.

Kind of hidden behind her arm. And she's going to look stunning. And it's behind her arm and she's gonna look stunning and it's gonna be like she's ready to emerge as or like like and it'll say the the the sub headline she went she went away for two years but now is she ready to are we ready for her to come back and the answer will be yes because we love redemption so i i was starting to feel bad for blake lively because i know that everyone's like starting to feel bad for Blake Lively because I know that everyone's like, she should feel bad.

She did this and that she doesn't, you know, she did not do those things knowing that this, she, she loves her career. And now everyone is piling on her. It's got to feel awful that everyone's turning on her and she can't kind of catch any break from any angle.

No matter what side you're on, you got to admit that she didn't really, she didn't kind of catch any break from any angle yeah no matter what side you're on you got to admit that she didn't really she didn't hurt she didn't kill anyone guys she didn't really hurt anyone i think the biggest indictment against her is that she might be a mean girl like did unless she's like bullied someone to death like it's not really punishable but like we shouldn't take she shouldn't lose everything am i annoyed at people wanting to be billionaires? You know I am. Do I want people to just back off and stick to what they do?

Surely I do. Do I not like girls who seem kind of mean? Yeah, I don't like it either. Have I seemed kind of mean before? I'm sure in different contexts. I don't know what's going on with her. What I do know, she's gonna be just fine. She's gonna be fine.

I think that's a good point. Play this video. Let's clip this right fine. I think that's a good point. Play this video. Let's clip this right now for when two years from now. I'm talking November 2026. Yep. Blake Lively will be on the cover of things and there will be like a shell. She will be kind of hidden behind it, emerging from her arms, wrapped up in her arms, kind of tortured poet style, the cover of tortured poets. And her eye will be peeking out

from her elbow and it'll be like an eye that's kind of sorry but like i'm ready and everyone will fucking jerk themselves off over it because we love to welcome someone back in and to forgive someone and i think that's a beautiful thing but um i i think she'll be okay. But I do have empathy for her right now. It feels almost as good to bring back an outcast as it does to destroy someone on top. I almost, like, in the same way that I can't enjoy being on the top because I just know I'm going to feel down again. I used to enjoy when stars would get taken down. Like, yeah, she's so pretty and perfect. Fuck her. I can't wait for I used to enjoy when stars would get taken down like yeah she's so pretty and perfect fuck her I can't wait for her to get dismantled like the way I felt about you know I

used to feel about JLo like yeah the tides are turning JLo no one likes you anymore Blake Lively sorry you've been a perfect gossip girl your whole life now you're a mean girl we all know it I don't even enjoy I can't even bask in the enjoyment of it because i see two years from now when we're all when i'm jealous of her again because she's the it girl like don't worry guys everyone it all comes around it's cyclical well you know who's been piled on and it seems like it's never let up is ellen i feel like is ellen you kidding me oh get ready come back oh yeah her new her new specials coming out i think this month and the press is already starting back to her yeah and she addresses not being nice cosby never made

a comeback did you hear neil brennan's thing about uh yeah that's why i said sexual assault right okay okay i gotta think of an example of a non-sexual assault person who never made a comeback that's who hasn't? Names are coming into my head. It has to be five years out because it takes about sometimes five years for someone to have a comeback. There's a lot of names going in my head right now and I'm like, oh wait, that was a sexual assault person.

Sexual assault, yes. But what I want to say about Ellen, Neil Brennan had a joke in a special and he goes, you know, people like hold comedians to these standards he's like people are like he was talking about his uh contractor came over he hired this guy off craigslist to do some work around his house and the guy was like saw that he was famous or whatever because neil told him and um and i'm making a joke referencing what i just said in

case this clip is pulled out of context yes um and neil probably let him know anyway because he's got emmy's lying around um his door stops but he uh the the contractor was like hey is uh is is kevin hart you friends with kevin hart and he goes yeah i know kev and he goes is he humble and he was like he goes jeremy you're not humble and you're a fucking handyman on Craigslist. He's like, why would Kevin Hart, who's 5'1 and a billionaire, be humble? Yeah, he's as humble as other short, like Tom Cruise and he lists all these other guys. And then he goes, people are like, you know, we like Ellen, but is she nice? And he's like, who gives a shit if she's nice?

She's a trailblazer for uh gay rights she was a gay woman who got canceled for being gay her show like was off the air as soon as she admitted she was gay she went away she came back five years later and had the hit tv show he goes is she nice have you ever met a nice lesbian he's like they're fine but they're not nice they're pleasant i guess he makes just a good point that like why do we need our celebrities to be all of these things and i think that is the articles i was reading about the blake lively thing i was telling noah and the other girls on girls chat because we were talking about it like i like that there's this backlash to inauthenticity

which i think is what is the pile on about blake is like movie stars don't get to be like i'm not gonna discuss that anymore and like i'm you know this this perfection even ann hathaway i think has been kind of mum about some stuff that's not even that inquisitive like of questions and she's just like no comment and like stars used to be able to have this like wall up where they're like i'm perfect and uh i'm not going to show you my real self which is fine but now people because of tiktok and because of social media people want their stars to be normal and relatable and authentic yeah and and and that's and when they're not there's there's a backlash coming. And all these stars that came up in the early 2000s and made their mark and don't know how to live in this kind of world where they're expected to be.

They can't be authentic because they're not. And I'm not speaking of Blake Lively. I'm just speaking like they are celebrities that are so detached. They cannot be authentic. Whereas people like Chapel Roan. Actors are like you fall in love with the character they're playing and then you expect like oh it's insane why why aren't you acting like captain america i don't understand it's like because i'm not expect nothing of them

folks please chapel rone said best did you hear what she said do you know who chapel rone is brian uh yes i am aware she's the best but she just said it said the this is the headline chapel roan is turning down movie offers because quote actors are fucking crazy and hollywood is so scary i'd rather get arrested than be an actor it's true actors are weird dude they are it's like i'm friends with actors but am i close friends, I'm mainly friends with comedians who have acted, but like actors that don't do something else. Like it's not, I remember when I,

I wanted to be an actor so badly because I thought it was just your ticket to being on TV and being on a TV show. I didn't realize like what it took to be an actor. It's like a lot of hard, intense work and you have to be delusional or you have to be kind of like a crazy person in a different way than I am crazy. But I remember I went and auditioned for theater school at NYU audition. It wasn't like you just sign up and you get an audition.

It wasn't special. I had literally no talent. I'd been in like three plays in high school. So I flew to Chicago to audition and I was, I remember, you know, it was probably fall of my senior year and I'm in the hallway at this hotel in Chicago and I see all of these theater kids practicing their monologues in the hallway and like not talking to me, but like being loud and like, I'm important and I'm screaming in the corner and like just but also anti-social and I remember just thinking this isn't it for me even though I did still want it I remember thinking like I don't know how

I'm going to find friends in this kind of the plays I did in high school weren't they were all like football players that got talked into doing plays or they were like there were some actor-y kids but they weren't it was in the bulk whereas when you go to theater school it's that and comedians are weird too if you're an actor and you're taking offense to this you should i'm saying you're weird but you're weird in a way that is fantastic because you can portray other people so well in almost a creepy

way um but they are different and i love chapel roan for saying like i'm not gonna fucking do anything i'm getting all these endorsements i'm not gonna like get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to use to like pretend i use a product i don't like i love i love her character i just love her she's so real and um and that's what people want that's like that's the epitome of what people want from everything's real now paras Parasocial relationships now. Because the industry has severed the ties between the Hollywood industrial complex and fame. There's no more stars. It's all about developing relationships with your fans.

And they bolster you. Yeah. I mean, I think that I get interviewed about Taylor Swift a lot. And I always kind of gloss over the fact that like I've learned to manage my career in whatever way I manage it I really I wish I was a little bit more focused and intentional with the things I do but the way I relate to my fans is the way I feel I relate to Taylor as a fan I want my fans to feel that close to me and I because I relate to Taylor as a fan. I want my fans to feel that close to me. And I,

cause I do feel like I'm rooting for Taylor. I feel like I know her. Like I don't need to be friends with her because she's told me everything she needs to tell me in her music. And the truth is I say I'm way more honest in my comedy than I am almost in one-on-one relationships or at least the same. And I think that that is, I feel like you're more honest in your standup than in real life.

I feel like something about you stepping on stage gives you carte blanche to just unload things that you probably wouldn't say in conversation. I think so too, because I don't have to defend them. I don't have to answer to anyone going, well, that doesn't actually hold up. I think you're right but i just i don't mind a parasocial relationship i've said it before but if you think you could be friends with me you are right i mean i don't i don't have room in my life

for you probably just as taylor doesn't have room in her life for me but you're not wrong that if we met in middle school girl or guy listening to this and you're like man we would really hang out we would have been besties but it's just the timing and the circumstance didn't um allow it so for you and your mind to think you're my friend go for it don't get to the point where you need to murder me because of it you know like that's where it becomes a problem but i don't mind you thinking you're my friend and telling people my friend nikki said this my friend nikki said that like i don't i don't think there's anything weird about that and sometimes i have fans saying i talk about you like you're like i heard nikki

say this today and my boyfriend's like nikki the glazer who you don't know you're just calling her nikki like you talked to her today and i always go, that's fine. I've been listening to Las Culturistas, which is on the Big Money Players Network with us. And I am starting to have that with Bowen and Matt Rogers. I can't stop listening to them. I feel like it has made me funnier and more wise about pop culture. I've learned new words. I just think, but I also feel like it has made me funnier and more wise about pop culture. I've learned new words.

I just think, but I also feel like I'm hanging out with them. It really gives me the sense that I'm hanging with people. Podcasts do that a lot. They do. It's just like an intimate. It's in your ear while you're at Starbucks, and it's like an hour conversation. And if you listen to people long enough, you're just like, they become part of the network in your social brain. Especially if you're a person in conversation

who doesn't already talk that much. Say you're someone who hangs out with your friends and you're not the most chatty of the group. It might resemble what it is like to be with a group of friends anyway for you. Of just kind of observing and maybe nodding along because i'm like well that's the most comforting place to be i mean just remember when you're at like a sleepover or something and you're like the first one to go into the sleeping bag and you still

hear your friends chatting is there any about how they're gonna draw on your face okay so imagine you're in your room at night and you hear your parents in the kitchen talking oh it's it's the best yeah i haven't they're gonna draw a dick on your face when you're i have a new thing i have a new i was watching taylor tomlinson's special and she does this thing where she asked the audience if they have any she has trouble sleeping and she says if you have any like weird sleep tips share them with me i've heard them all and she goes in the audience and it's really funny and um she hears a one that she says helped her is like this woman said go lay on your kitchen floor for 10 minutes just wide awake and then go back to bed and she goes that actually worked so taylor

said that worked but um i would have if i was at her show i would have raised my hand because i came up with one. So if anyone out there struggles to sleep, this is one that I've been doing since I was a young girl, but I didn't put it together that it actually works until recently when I couldn't sleep. You, okay, you go from being like, I can't sleep to tell yourself you have to stay awake. You don't get to go to sleep. You must stay awake. like you cannot fall asleep and when you stop when you start instead of fighting staying awake to go to sleep you stop fighting you start fighting sleeping man that sucker will win over like do the opposite go like you can't fall asleep don't you dare fall asleep you don't get to

and then suddenly you want to so bad and then then let go and lean into it and i promise you it works because my sister and i used to take turns looking for monsters one of us would have to stay up and keep um look out for monsters well isn't that the cutest thing yeah in college we were both uh a little mostly underdeveloped. But yeah, it was so cute. So whenever I was on monster lookout duty, I would feel so much more tired than when I wasn't. And I remember realizing that,

why when I have to stay up to look for monsters, do I just suddenly, almost immediately, I'm like, oh, I'm so tired. And so I've started using that kind of same thing. That's interesting. I'm going to try doing that. Just try it. Because I think what it does, what it would do for me is the reason why I can't fall asleep is because I'm thinking about something else.

And I'm stressing about something else that I need to do the next morning. Or sometimes it's like I can't. I'm like still, I ate a meal too late. But if I'm thinking about something. And then I start thinking I have to stay awake, then I'll be thinking about that instead of the thing that's actually keeping me awake. Yeah, and you're actually thinking about sleeping.

Yeah. Interesting. Well, I was listening to this meditation of this guy named Dr. Russ. He's a chiropractor out of Portland. And I watch all his videos. He's the most relaxing ASMR voice ever, but he does like chiropractic videos. But then he does like meditations and he did all his videos. He's the most relaxing ASMR voice ever, but he does like

chiropractic videos, but then he does like meditations and he did one about sleeping. And he was talking about how people, when they can't sleep, he does like a talk with you about how you can't sleep. And it's so soothing. And I literally haven't, it's like 15 minutes long and I never finished it because his name is Dr russ out of seattle just type in sleeping dr russ and um he was saying that people feel like they can't sleep because they have to solve they need to solve whatever it is they're worried about which is impossible to do like you're not going to solve it but i don't relate to that i've i've never felt like there's what's keeping you up like what what's happening in your mind usually just my caffeine like i'm

just not tired you know like yeah if i'm tired though i don't think anything can keep me up because i almost feel like sleep helps me like i'm not gonna solve us something when i'm tired right i just know that my brain is not functioning right and i'm just like it's almost like i'm not going to solve something when i'm tired right i just know that my brain is not functioning right and i'm just like it's almost like i'm drunk i there's no part of me that even wants to solve it when i'm i'm feeling tired because i won't you've acknowledged that sleep is a necessary step in order to get you to the solution yeah and maybe i'm procrastinating a little bit i'm like oh maybe if i sleep i can do it after i sleep like there's that but i i'm glad i don't relate to that but i think a lot of people do they all they are trying to solve things in their sleep

do you guys both do that yeah i mean that's happened to me i used to have like a a period in time where i'd wake up at 3 a.m like every night wake up at 3 a.m and just start thinking about like the stresses of the next day and my therapist I mean she kind of told me what Dr. Russ said she goes at 3 a.m. you cannot solve your problems no one is up to help you you can't send that email you can't communicate so just go back to sleep so I have to start saying that to myself there's nothing you can do like when my dad told me there's nothing like when I was scared of nuclear war in eighth grade and he was like nikki there's nothing you can do about whether or not we die in a nuclear explosion nothing and that was like bring it on i it would there you go just feels so good to feel powerless

when i feel powerless i start screaming literally screaming yeah like that's how i feel in the shower but i want to show you something i got that i that i sometimes use when i wake up at three o'clock in the morning which is this uh acu does show this year already no but i've seen that kind of um so it's a pillow guys that has a pillow and there's a spiky things on it so what is it called acupressure it's it's an acupressure mat. It looks like a Lady Gaga dress. It's called a Shakti mat. Shakti. Yeah, this is actually, they made it out of Lady Gaga dresses.

Yeah, it looks like a skirt I'd wear to the Aris tour. Yeah. But it's really painful and you lay on it and the pain just kind of distracts you from whatever it is that you're thinking of my god and you go ah this hurts so bad this is why people get tattoos but then eventually the pain subsides and you sort of enter into this like drifting state of nirvana it's like it's like your body just accepts the pain and then sends all these endorphins to the area. Wait, so you really get tripped out because the pain kind of disappears?

You get relaxed. It's like a cloud of pain? Yeah, in a way. I wouldn't say tripped out like you're taking shrooms or something, but you do enter this good vibrational state of calm. Oh my god.

I can't wait to tell you guys what i did last week i don't even know if we have time for it it's so fucked up i'm gonna get into it after break i haven't told anyone about it literally it's you won't even believe what happened okay we'll talk about when we get back john stewart is back at The Daily Show, and he's bringing his signature wit and insight straight to your ears with The Daily Show Ears Edition podcast.

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 iheart radio app

apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts okay i have not told anyone about this except chris and chris like didn't even really care to hear details about it and i don't know why because i think he was just ashamed that i even did something like this but i've been having you know i suffer with like vocal tension i just have too much tension in my body that i literally just can't get rid of and especially in my throat and my neck and i was like maybe i'll go to a hypnotist so i googled hypnotist right st louis found someone who has been doing it for almost 30 years looked like somewhat like you know that experience i just went off of experience chris was like how did you find this person i'm just like i don't know she just said she'd been doing it the longest and i just picked willy nilly i don't know how to pick a good hypnotist it's all fucking whatever so and i've heard people like hypnotize themselves to

you know uh release um to to stop smoking or to i don't know um it's helped people i know it has all sorts of things yeah and i saw a girl get hypnotized at um our like post-prom party and she peed her pants because she thought her chair was on fire and i know that it's real because she would never have done that that's so embarrassing to do she literally thought giving a lap dance to your ex or something exactly like people and like i understand when they do dumb things that are like kind of cool looking like a girl is doing a striptease because she's always wanted to you know yeah pissing your pants in front of your senior class when you're not the most popular girl that could maybe get away with that i don't know what kind of girl could um that's when i knew hypnotism was real um so i never tried it because i never really wanted it but i I just felt kind of desperate. So I called this woman and I go in and I tell her about my stuff and she's kooky. I was outside of her office for

15 minutes before she picked up her phone because I'm banging on the door and I'm like, she's not even here. She had just told me to reconfirm. And so I'm there. I drove 40 minutes to get to where she was. Finally, she lets me in. There's not really an apology. She's just like, oh, I didn't check my phone. And I'm like, okay, but it's two o'clock. I was supposed to be here at two. I am here at two.

Now it's 2.20 and now you're letting me in. So we go up. I was just about to drive off too. I wish I would have. We go up. We sit down in her office. She keeps apologizing

that nothing is where it's supposed to be because she just moved in. Not my problem. She's a wreck. She's a hippo. Totally. She keeps checking her phone, putting it back in her purse. God. Not my problem. She's a mess. She's a wreck. She's the hypnotist herself. Totally. She keeps checking her phone, putting it back in her purse. Her purse is full with things. Now she's checking her phone all of a sudden? Yeah, I know. Her flip phone. Her purse

is filled to the brim with things. She's kind of like a slight bag lady, a little hoardy, you know? But I don't judge it because people that aren't... I don't need her to be perfect. She's a fucking hypnotist right she's supposed to be out there and kooky she's a mess she has like a white beret she has

long white hair down to her shoulders well that's good that's a good sign she is probably 75 sorry if you're listening this i don't think she is and she's not that all like white outfit really really nice woman um what i loved about her is that when i was talking about was going through she kept saying i'm really sorry you're going through that and i thought that was a really nice thing she was like that must be really hard that's i'm so sorry i was talking to her about imposter syndrome i was talking to her about my throat issues and she was like i really want to get back to this imposter syndrome thing like why you think you don't deserve things or whatever final thought so she goes um

honestly i i think before we do your throat stuff which is why i went to her like i want to release tension to sing better yeah she was like i really think you have some past life stuff that we have to address about this imposter syndrome and i'm just like okay sure let's do that she wants to get paid first i go that's fine 250 dollars all i actually goes cash would be best i go i have cash but i have 300 i'll just put 50 towards the next session because i'm thinking this is gonna work yeah i'm not going back she's keeping that 50 by the way so she's like let's get into past life work i just want to tell everyone ahead of time if anyone wants to do past life stuff with you, run.

I've done it before. I talked about it on the podcast years ago when I did it because a friend of mine recommended this woman. If you want to just sit for an hour with someone, closing your eyes and making up a story for them to help you make up, then do that if you if you enjoy tucking your kids in at night and making up a story when they go tell a story and you just enjoy speaking off the lit off the dome coming up with characters and settings and a plot line then this is for you because this is what it was it was me staring at a literal wheel that turned you know like a black and white wheel oh god that she put across the room so it was really small and i go i think it needs to be closer so then we moved a bunch of shit so it could be closer i'm on a love seat i'm five nine so i'm like balled up on this love seat laying

down she was like my long couch wouldn't fit in the new office i go i don't care i don't care so then we're going in my past life and she's like okay you're walking down a hall she goes your eyes are getting heavy. And my head is going like, no, they're not. Your eyes are watering. No, they're not. But then they start to because I just want to make it right. Right.

Like, I just want to give her what she's telling me. Your eyes are closing. And I literally felt like if I don't close my eyes, then what is this going to be? Like, I just need to do I need to close my eyes. I need to give her what she wants. And I'm someone that's not like I pride myself on not just doing what people want me to do, but I just wanted to get the fuck out of there. And I go, maybe part of being hypnotized is kind of, you know, controlling it a little bit like, yeah, closing your eyes because she said to close them. But, you know, I don't know.

So I at first was like, I'm not going to close my eyes just because she says close your eyes and your eyes are getting heavy. They're not. And so I kept them open. But then she kept saying they're getting heavy because she was getting frustrated. And then finally I'm like, they're closed. Then I'm walking down the hallway. Then she's like, there's a bunch of doors. Suddenly a door is going to look familiar to you.

I think I might have the thing that Hala has where you can't picture things because i could not see a hallway i couldn't see doors nothing and she made it sound like i should be like in this virtual reality world that would be so clear to me what the floor looked like what the doors looked like you're gonna see a door that looks familiar walk into it then that is a past life so i walk in this door and then she's like and what's in the room i'm like i can't see anything well what if you if you could see something what would it be i'm like a bird cage i mean i'm just literally making shit up and then she's like you find a closet with clothes in it what do the clothes look like i'm like there's no clothes i don't see a closet well keep looking oh i found the closet

like i'm just like getting raped into many raped into making things appear so finally i'm in this dress i'm on a plantation i'm making up a story i'm literally in bridgerton because and then she goes okay and then we get bored there because oh so then i'm i'm a woman in the 1800s walking around the house i'm just making this up literally which which could she could because i literally said that to her i go i think i'm just making things up to give you a story because i don't i'm not none of this is appearing i'm actually trying to think of something to tell you and she goes well what's the difference between that and it appearing and i go well that's a good point i don't really know so let's just go with it it's like an improv but i think a lot of

this exactly i think a lot of what i'm coming up with is stuff that I just saw this week on TV. I said that. I go, she goes, eventually I end up in this office and she goes, what does the office look like? And I go, it looks exactly like the office of the man whose office is next to yours who I walked into right before the session.

And it's the same man sitting there. And she goes, well, maybe it is. Maybe it's just maybe it was another past life where you run into him and i'm like unlikely so i made up an entire plot line for this girl who i used to be her name was abigail she lit she was she grew up in an orphanage she worked at the orphanage she grew up in the woman kept wanting me okay so because i want to be a singer she kept wanting me to be a singer in a past life and she kept being like so so what are you do you sing a little bit and i go nope this girl does not sing abigail is mute she had her does she go out to um like taverns or anything and i go it's the 1800s i'm a single woman i can't go anywhere for fun on my

own i just go walk along the river and she goes oh that makes sense i go i need a male companion to go anywhere and i really truly felt that i don't even know if i came up with that logically i literally was like bitch why do you keep asking me to go places when i don't have a husband so i can't fucking go anywhere i work in an orphanage and she goes that actually would be true she goes do you have any friends and i go no and she goes what's how's this girl's life going to end? I'm like, she wants to throw herself from a fucking bridge. And she goes, okay, well, does she?

And I go, I don't think she does. She just thinks about it. And then I made this girl find a friend. And I'm like, oh, my God, this is actually turning into an Elaine Ferrante book or whatever, my brilliant friend book. This is turning into a book. So this girl then meets a friend by the lake that girl comes from a privileged life but they have to keep their friendship secret because she's not allowed to like have friends that are dirty yep and like poor and then they kind of are gay for

each other but they can't ever admit it because she's married and my character like hates the patriarchy even though she doesn't have a word for it she like hates men and hates her status and she's a right like i came with this whole story and then she just dies in her sleep like my character she wanted this woman to be she i think she wanted me to be like judy garland in a past life or something because she kept like trying to steer it to that i'm like we're not even in that same fucking century bitch and um but i and then oh don't even think it was over so that woman died, she makes me go to my next life. After that. And then I just threw in the cards.

And in my next life, guess what I was? A whale. I just became a whale because I was like, I need something simple that will require a bunch of doors and like dresses and an occupation and friends and different floorboards that I have to describe what the floor looks like and the bedding looks like like it was true brian you know how i get stressed out in improv games like when we play bag of fun i can't i i don't like coming up with things so for a whale i was just a whale alone in the sea and and i didn't even have a pod i was like i'm a lone whale who got lost from his pod. That's how done I was. And then this session, which she told me was supposed to last two and a half hours, which, by the way, that's disgusting.

And you should tell someone before they get to your office that something's going to last that long. Does that include the 20 minutes that you were waiting outside? Exactly. I said, I got to be out of here by 445. I'm going to see a fucking house. And she was like, well, we might be in one of your lives. And I go, well, then we'll have to leave that life because i have one to get to here she was just so like well we don't know where we'll be and i'm like well i need to be out by 4 45 and so um but i was

out by 3 25 because i was a whale and then i was nothing else and she knew i was like i'm out of this because i was just like i'm just a whale and and then i go i just started like opening my eyes and i'm like that's really cool That makes sense why I love whales. And that makes sense why I, you know, feel angry about being a woman sometimes. Well, it is interesting that in both of your past lives, you were alone. Yeah. You were a lone whale and a lone girl walking along the river. But it did help me.

I was like, I kind of want to write a book about this woman now that i invented like i've never ever written fiction because i just don't find it interesting i don't watch fiction i don't really read fiction that often like i just don't care for fiction unless it's taylor swift writing folklore i just don't care about made up things but when i was forced to make this thing up i'm like oh my god this person like exists somewhere i like really feel like this abigail girl is real i don't think it was a real past life because it was made up of things i've seen on netflix you know but it was like oh i see how people can be like attached to a character i've never felt that before so it wasn't all for not but i wasted an

hour and a half of my i would say two hours with the driving of my life, making up a story for this woman. And I paid $300 to do it. And it's so embarrassing. So I just want to tell anyone whoever is involved in any past life stuff, it's bullshit. I really think it's bullshit.

Do something else with your time. Do not get suckered into this. It's happened to me twice now where I've had past life people make me make up stories on the fly and they make you so uncomfortable because they make you feel like when you're resisting and saying this is not real they make you feel like you're doing it wrong somehow and like you just can get so tricked by these people and i'm just it cannot happen again to me and i just want to ask any besties if you've had any stories of this where you go to like a healer or something and they take advantage of you i've been like sexually assaulted by a

healer before i've been oh my god um yeah they're not canceled yet they're still working i've been and it wasn't a horrible sexual assault but he like licked tears off my face so it was kind of unpleasant worse than anything it's disgusting it's truly disgusting and all my friends were in the next room and i talked about it afterwards and they were like laughing about it like oh that's just tim or whatever it was so weird um and he still works and he works with really famous people and he's disgusting but um guys and he gave me the worst he like adjusted my neck and gave me i was vomiting for hours the next day because of a migraine i had from that uh from that adjustment so i just i want to know if anyone else has been hoodwinked by these people which i do think this woman believes

what she's saying and doing i don't think she's a tyler henry which is a no i do tyler henry i believe it's real but i believe she feels the same way tyler does like i don't think she's aware that she's tricking people and i don't think tyler henry's tricking people by the way but like i i think that i don't think she knows that she's full of shit well she's either got a mental disorder or she truly is no longer tethered to reality which is why she can't be bothered to like organize her apartment or you know do things on time maybe she's in between worlds right now and she can see the past life don't you just hate when you get taken advantage of and you can't you're like you're paying for something that you don't want and you can't leave does that happen to you guys ever i mean the sphere no not the fear like do you ever the sphere he said the sphere they're watching youtube being

like i can't leave i don't want to disappoint Nikki and Chris. I just want to go. I felt it too that night. Yeah. And yeah, you're so right. And Bono is on stage rambling like someone who is doing a past life meditation. I am aware. Making things up.

I've had that in like massages or facials where you're just kind of like stuck to the bed. Oh, God. Yes. Okay. That's a perfect example no perfect example noah nailed it no you nailed it massages i think everyone can raise their hand right now they've had a massage that sucks and you know it as soon as their clammy hand touches you yeah but you have an hour maybe sometimes 90 minutes to get through with this person and they talk constantly and you just don't want to hear anything oh god when they talk yeah oh but yeah just pretend you're a whale and get the fuck out

that's my life advice all right guys we gotta go i'm in michigan this weekend really exciting stuff coming up uh battle creek michigan friday and saturday and saturday and then sunday i'm going to see a taylor swift show but not by taylor swift i'm going to see a Taylor Swift show but not by Taylor Swift. I'm going to see a young boy I found on Instagram who's like eight years old perform Taylor Swift in his backyard two hours outside of Michigan. So I'll tell you about that next

week. But we have another show tomorrow we'll get to. We'll see you then. Thank you for listening to the podcast. Don't be cute and bye.
