The Nikki Glaser Podcast - #483 Erasing Memories, First Attractions & Can The Opposite Sex Be Friends?

Episode Date: October 25, 2024

Nikki and Brian have those moments they wish they could “Eternal Sunshine” away and others they want to remember forever. After binging on comments, Brian’s over it and vows to stop. He asks Nikki about picking up a new habit to help with his anxiety. There’s definitely an art to secretly recording for the sake of art instead of just for content. Brian remembers a time he wishes he’d caught on tape when Nikki totally crushed it at a game of Catchphrase. Nikki is all about that butterfly feeling at the start of a new relationship; nothing beats the realization that you’re with the right person. She’s got a point about making friends with the opposite sex while in a relationship. And in the Final Thought, Brian shares the details of his experience seeing Billy Joel.

Here's Nikki Hello, here I am, welcome to the podcast It's the Nikki Glaser Podcast Second episode of the week, that's how we do it We're gonna be honest with you If you listened to yesterday's episode It was just a couple hours for us I always am honest

When it comes up, I never try to fake it Like we're doing it the next day This is the same day, but it's just a different flavor And honestly, we just got warmed up earlier This is the same day, but it's just a different flavor. And honestly, we just got warmed up earlier. Yeah, the last one. Skip that one. Just go straight to this one because this is on fire.

If you can go do like an eternal sunshine yourself to forget it, if you already heard it, God forbid. Yeah, this is the one to listen to because this one's going to have a lot of meat to it. Would you do that? Eternal sunshine yourself? For any reason? Oh, yeah. There's been times. One time that comes to mind because I just got done talking about this in therapy and

then before that in an interview because I just talk about things. It's like the same thing. It's the same thing. I have no boundaries with anyone. I can't imagine your therapy sessions being much different than this podcast other than you name names who did i just talk to that said the same thing and they said whenever i go to therapy they're always like who the fuck was it that's so upsetting because it was the first time i've ever heard someone else say that

because i've been to therapists before and they'll be like nikki i just want to say thank you for revealing that to me and like this is a safe space I just want to remind you and I go oh I literally just said it um an hour ago like I I workshopped it before I got to you to to thousands of people at least you know who knows because but they're always like what really there isn't much difference. Yeah, it's a little more detailed. In fact, I left the cameras going for the first episode. Like I forgot to hit on record.

I think it's also known as stop. And I left it on for an interview. And then for the therapy that followed the interview, which I needed a lot of therapy after the interview because followed the interview which i needed a lot of therapy after the interview because the interview i like said a lot that i was and it's a very high profile piece and it was so great well i was being interviewed by a celebrity and i would play the guessing game with your thing but it already failed for the celebrity

yeah the achinator already failed this person. And so I know it won't reveal him or her. And so... I just want to clarify, the Akinator is not my thing. I didn't make it. I did not stand by it. After it failed me twice

on this podcast, I fully retract my endorsement. You talked such a big game for it. It was... Initially. There's been some times where it's blown my mind. I'm sure.

And these two times it's blown my mind in reverse. It's put my mind i'm sure two times it's blown my mind in reverse put my mind back together but but so it was i like was talking in the interview about um a moment that i wanted to eternal sunshine which is like when i read something about myself on reddit that i like had only ever thought about myself and never had had anyone even slightly say to me to my face or had ever read in a comment it was just like a thing i'd noticed about myself that i'm mostly insecure about i won't even i won't even hint at what it is because i don't want anyone to ever use it

against me but i i when i read that comment i almost was like hyperventilating like i couldn't the feeling that was going on in my body was so uncomfortable it felt like i was burning alive like and i and you and i just all i wanted to do was go back to a time where i didn't see that comment and then i eventually got over it a couple years later but um that was a joke but it really took me a while it took me like months um to unsee that what about you well i didn't take it as a joke because i i would it would me a couple of years sometimes to get over some things like that. I've recently learned I need to chill with trying to find feedback on the internet. I need to chill. Are you kidding me?

Yeah. It's drinking. It is smoking weed. It's doing heroin. It's shopping addiction. Guys, it's an addiction. If you're someone who has comments about you out there on the internet and you read them, there's no good in it.

You can keep convincing yourself you're looking for feedback. You can keep justifying it like you do with drinking. But it's my birthday. It's St. Patrick's Day. It's never going to go well. It doesn't. I went nuts when Tim Dillon, This Is Your Country came out. I've read every single comment, every single tweet.

I've read every single thing that was written by any, even if it was a bot, I've probably read it. Right. And it drove me insane. I want to apologize for some of that stuff I wrote because I was in a bad place. I was jealous that night. And I'm glad you didn't trace my name um no i i can only imagine but yeah imagine how tim feels can i just i'm sorry to take away from you and your pain sometimes i read things about my fellow comedians and i go good

lord i hope they don't see this and i'm'm not talking just about Tim Dillon, even though his fans are not nice. No. Because I, believe me, I joined the Tim Dillon subreddit because I am a fan. Didn't know that it was all people who love him so much that they hate him. Yeah, well, that's a common, that's very common. I mean, there's a lot of-

I know, I saw it with Howard Stern too. Same thing happened in his subreddit. It's a toxic place. And does Tim read comments? I don't know if he does or not. I don't think he does. If he's alive and hasn't offed himself, then he doesn't read comments. He releases a podcast every single week, plus a Patreon episode every single week, where he says some things that a lot of people would be upset by. So if he's reading his comment by now,

I think he's sworn off reading the comments because it's just like, what's the point? You're going to piss off so many people every week. There's not even, no, I mean, yeah, you're right. The people he pisses off,

he would probably enjoy that because he knows what he's doing in that regard. But I'm talking about people that attack your character or not even your character. You're, um, you know, just are, are just brutally cruel in ways that you would only hear at like a roast where you have been paid a million dollars to be

there and you've agreed to it like you no one should ever read these things about themselves right even at a roast i argue you shouldn't have to hear the stuff about yourself it's so painful but um yeah i i think i honestly don't think he reads any of them i think i don't think he would either because i can't even really imagine him sitting there reading it no and you know what because he's he doesn't because he's evolved yeah i think tim dylan is you know is because he's smart and he also it would stand in his way and he's a successful person yeah he's you know like it it is a hindrance to you that's why he doesn't do drugs anymore that's why he doesn't drink i would guess it's the same reason why he doesn't read comments he's learned that there is no good

in there no good there's nothing good i didn't learn from that yet i have not learned that lesson fully it's not ingrained in me neither Neither did the person I just interviewed. And I got like, I interviewed with this, this girl interviewed me and we were talking about comments and she said yeah, the Akinators. Was she ever on a YouTube channel? You're just surreptitiously start inserting Akinator

questions, trying to get at it again, giving it a second chance. But no, I, I, I, cause she was like, you know, sometimes I read the comments and i go no no no no it's not a sometimes it's a never i because she's someone who also has dealt with like addiction and i'm like if it's it's like drinking you don't get to even do a sip you know like this isn't about like one beer you can have one beer and by the way it will it's it's it's never going to be enough and it's it's just a i literally was like i almost got uh it went from being like a fun conversation to me being like you

don't understand this isn't a joke like you have to stop and i really believe that i think this is my new fucking pedestal is to stop if you feel that social media is harming harming you you gotta put it down. You gotta uninstall Instagram from your phone. Not forever, I'm not saying, but I think if you're a celebrity comments, you really have to say goodbye to it forever. Yeah, I think if you're a celebrity of a certain stature, someone else should be

just handling your social media and you shouldn't even be thinking about it. I mean, I told Emily to just tell me, Gen ZM, my new thing is I saw, she told me someone just tell me, Gen ZM, my new thing is like, I saw, she told me like, oh, someone came up in conversation. She goes, she comments on yourself all the time. And I go, okay, the next time she has a post that you think I would have something nice to say, send it to me and then I'll comment. So like, because that's the thing I miss out on is like, I like to see nice things and then write back to their stuff.

And I want to be interactive and write back to their stuff right and i want to be interactive and write back to their comment so what why that's because i like being nice the question is why has social media not invented a filter for that positive comments only that you can put certain words in and i put um one time i like screen recorded it when the feature first came out and i made a joke about it and i just put like cunt not funny sure uh horse face and then i put um what did i do i did a really funny one that was like a misspelled uh you're or it was like you're not funny and it was Y-O-U-R. So it only was kidding people

that would spell it wrong out, which I thought was a nice way of saying, I don't care about your opinion if you're dumb. But if you say you are with apostrophe, we're game. But yeah, you could put certain filters for words. But I want there to be like an AI, a positive use of AI

that will read all the comments and delete anything that's negative so that you're only seeing positive feedback i mean i guess if you're going to read the comments at all then it's not beneficial to you but wouldn't it be nice if it just served you the nice stuff yeah i would love to just know about fire emojis or you know j-lo's been liking my stuff and i find out later from emily but. But it might be nice to get a little alert on my phone for that. Or be able to enjoy that in the moment. And not go, oh, that's cool. Two weeks ago that happened.

Oh, that's cool. Because I just can't. But I can't do it. It's just, you know. I probably could have a glass of wine and have a really fun night. But I don't want to risk it. No, you can't. It's not worth it.

It's not worth it yeah it's not worth it it really isn't about uh getting back into weed a little bit you were into weed well when i was in high school i smoked weed every day like the song said oh it was instructional yeah it was um okay and it was a different weed was different back then. Yeah. I mean, my big fear with weed is that when I smoked it every day, it made me kind of slow and dumb because I was smoking too much. Right.

But I do kind of feel like I could use something to make me chill. Like, I need to calm down. I would never recommend weed to anyone except you right now. For any reason? Except me. You've got to wait for the joke. Except you right now. I'm serious.

Your brain is so good, Brian. And I value your brain. Your brain literally helps my career immensely with all the things we work on. So I would never recommend something that I ever think would addle your brain in any way weed a little bit here and there i think would be very uh medicinal for you and that is me saying that as someone who's not a medical professional in any way and it could really uh ruin things but i think i don't think you are someone that is an addict and would use it in that way again your career is too important to you are you you thinking of smoking it or eating? Well, I think I would be interested

in taking a weed mint or something like that. Do it. Yes, do it right now. Wait a minute. Hold on a second. Well, this is not a debate. A single piece of a weed mint. You could do it,

but just be careful not to eat too much because then whatever you're anxious about or in your head about, it'll just get amplified. That has been my experience. That's why I'm saying you should smoke it because the edibles make me think too much. But smoking, it's like immediate release,

for me at least, of tension. Yeah, I think that's what I need because I'm so anxious all the time. Get a vape. You know, I was reading articles. That's my next big every day yeah i really think you should um not every day but yeah not every day but like you know uh it's a couple of times a day i was thinking of articles about how you can microdose shrooms and that became very popular for a while.

Well, there have been some studies about microdosing weed and doing a very, very small amount of weed just to kind of like... I know people that do it. And how do they feel? So I gave some people very close to my life some of my vapes. I just lose vapes all the time and then I find

them and so I just have a ton of these weed vapes that i just like lose vapes all the time and then i find them and i'm so i just have like a ton of these weed vapes with like a ton of juice in them because i don't need much to feel good and i gave them i said you just need like not even a full hit do not even just keep it in your mouth just absorb it through your gums like nobody to involve your lungs like just one because it's so fucking strong now and especially if you haven't smoked weed for 20 years or whatever or however long it's been you're younger than me 15 years um just half a hit of a vape pen i'm not kidding or a vape a little disposable vape will make you feel immense relief and it will not turn into a toxic habit that i think i i just know

you i just don't predict that it would yeah I don't think so either I'm very interested in doing I think I think it actually will be helpful to me and it won't make me too dumb because it really did make me stupid I have my SAT scores like tracked to when I stopped smoking weed it went down and then I stopped and it went up no I definitely definitely i've during covid i was smoking weed every day and pretty much 2018 i smoked weed a lot until september and i had to do dancing with the stars and then i like could not um i couldn't learn dancing and smoke weed but i've i've gone through many years of my life doing it every day and um it does make you dumber the more you do it.

But in moderation, a little hit, come on now. Well, you know what will make you dumb is having a low-key stress and anxiety that just keeps ratcheting up forever. Dude, it's, yeah, having just that relief of that, like, for me, and I don't think this is for everyone, but for me, weed will just like take me out of this moment of panic I have and just make me instantly like, okay, everything's fine. And I know that weed is a highly addictive substance. It ruins lives. People can easily get, not easily, but people do get very addicted to weed and it's disassociative.

It's not something you should do all day, every day. It doesn't solve your problems either. It doesn't. But it, if you, you know what? Like, it's just a little, I think, and I don't want, I'm endorsing this a little too much. But I, for you, Brian, I just, knowing your character and how you handle things. And even with sports betting, remember when you were betting on sports and the second you were like, this is making my life bad,

you stopped. Or at least you- Well, I took a break. I took a break. Okay, so you know how to manage this stuff. It's not unmanageable. You're not like an unmanageable addict. And I think that there's,

the people that I've given these vapes to, I didn't finish my story because I vape weed, but they have told me that it has been helpful. Yeah. Just a little. And they're not craving it the rest of the day and it just makes things a little easier. And I will say every dad I know

just like eats edibles and plays with their kids and like that's what makes them like be able to do that. It makes sense. Every night they get home from work and it's like a treat and then they're like interested in Legos suddenly. mean that sounds amazing doesn't it that's the only thing that's the only time i've ever heard like oh i guess i could be a dad is hearing that story i thought the same way i'm like um so yeah i i um i'll be interested to hear is that what our

dads are doing i mean i mean my dad i think was just drinking and smoking, but my dad never like got wasted ever. I've never seen him like truly fucked up. Maybe a little bit, but never like to the point where I'm like, you're embarrassing. But weed wise. Oh, my parents on weed,

which they'll be so mad that I'm even talking about this. Sorry, mom and dad, you've smoked weed before. I know it. We all know it. And they call it getting off. They say, I got off on that.

Whoa. Disgusting. Is that a boomer thing? Or is that just them? It's like a 70s term for like 1973 Cincinnati. That's what they were saying, I guess. I got off on weed. How'd you get off on that?

Oh, I got off on that hit. Wow. That's what getting high is to them. In New York, they would say i jizzed all over myself on that yeah that was our cool nomenclature and we all knew what it meant um but when my dad gets stoned he gets um sentimental and it's really irritating when you're not in the mood to like cry about a family video or whatever he does and then my mom when she gets uh gets off she starts filming she turns into gen zm and like like is make once just to make film me non-stop i'll be like because my dad so then my dad's sentimental and he's crying about

something or like remembering a memory a fucked up memory of his childhood and then my mom is sitting there filming and it's just the weirdest and i go mom stop and we're like why do you always film when you get high like it's so funny she turns into like uh you know remember that show that that never mind it doesn't matter what i was gonna say but anyway she um yeah she turns into james cameron i going to choose him. She films you and then she shows it to your dad. And then your dad starts crying about the moment that happened five seconds ago. Yeah, and then it just cycles like that. But if I go through my mom's camera, sometimes I do, I just see hours of footage.

She's just filming. Secret filming. Just blurry, like her lens is smeared because I know they had a good time and they took a little edible and they got off on it and they had some fun. They were watching Bill Maher and then they played music and then they filmed each other crying. You're a fan of this. I mean, you've done, you know Rob Stern, my friend Rob Stern.

I love Rob Stern. So he frequently, if we're just hanging out or something he'll frequently secretly film the hangout just so that we can get like a natural like here's how the memory of it without us all acting fake i love that you've done that a couple of times i would kill i'm trying to make content i'm not trying to make memories no i i i told that to um uh you know i i would kill for recordings of me and my friends from back of the day or even now it's interesting that i can't really contextualize it now and say i'd i want to look back on this time with my friends and record a candid moment but my friend the other day was talking about how her daughter just constantly talks she's like four years old

and she's just always talking to herself and i'm gonna do this and then the prince is gonna come over here that like no matter what she's doing she's playing she's like monologizing all the time and i said just take your phone hit record and just leave it next to her and she will cherish that audio someday when she is an adult so much to hear your baby voice just like going free like just free associating for an hour while you're playing kitchen it would be so cute to hear and she's like i gotta remember to do that but moms are so busy they're like i'm not trying to like make a future podcast right now so i think i'm just trying to survive um but yeah that's cool that rob does that it also feels like the

start of a horror movie where you go back and you listen to it and then all of a sudden you hear like whispers in the background of like a demon. Oh my God,

if you're like, oh, that's good. Your imaginary friend who's really evil. Wait, when have I done that? When have I secretly recorded? You did it at the Sphere

when I was dancing to U2. Yeah, that was, exactly, I was trying to make content. That was for content. That wasn't me to be like, look at what fun we had at the sphere. You know what?

You know what? I wish we would have. I don't want to say wish. I don't know what, but I'm going to go to break and we're going to find out right when we get back. Jon Stewart is back at The Daily Show

Okay, we're back. What is it? After I just stumbled into brick, I don't wish, but it would be nice, a moment that I would have liked to have recorded that we shared. Oh, I know. You already know which one it is?

Catchphrase. Yes. When we were playing catchphrase. I've never made Brian laugh that hard. That was the funniest thing I've ever heard. That's so funny because I wasn't trying to be funny. No, that's why it was so good no it doesn't it doesn't suck it just is like it as a comedian when you're like hang when your friends laugh at

you when your comedian friends who you admire laugh at you and you say like and they don't you're like i don't always crack you up in the way that's you know i'm a tough laugh yeah you're but i but i respect it and there's nothing wrong with that but then the time that i do and it's not even intentional is just like damn it like okay but it's also makes me feel good because it's like oh okay i guess i'm naturally funny yes well absolutely this was like pure like this was like nikki glazer heroin funny this was just like finding the cure finding the uh remember what i Yes, I remember exactly what you said. What is catchphrase?

It's a game. Brian, you can describe it. Catchphrase is... It's like a game where you have this disc and it has categories on it and you have to describe the things that pop up on the disc without saying the words on the disc and then you pass it around in a circle

and you can have teams or not it's sort of like heads up you know heads up is that where you hold the phone to your forehead you hold the phone up to your head heads up kind of destroyed catchphrase because catchphrase uh was very popular in the 90s and early 2000s and it was like this circular disc and it was electronic before it was electronic it was like a little paper disc that you would actually click and it would go through and the the downfall of catchphrase was because it was this electronic thing not connected to the internet it couldn't upgrade update its words so then when they came out with apps that were a similar game where they could constantly come out with new words catchphrase pretty much went extinct. Yes, yes.

But they're fun to break out because they have old references and they're stuck in a time. Yes. And then what's funny about it is that you can do one of the categories you can do is decades. You can have a bunch of words from the 70s

and it's like Afro and you have to try to get people to guess Afro. Getting off. Getting off, yeah. But then they also had 2010s, but this catchphrase came out in 2014 so all the 2010s clues are like so not 2010s in our mind like it's it's they're so off right because they're in the decade so they got it wrong yeah they're like yeah uh what's 2010s and it's like something

very specific from 2011 that nobody remembers anymore like it's like uh the um the harlem shake or something and you're like what exactly that was like the first meme dance and we've all forgotten it was a huge fucking deal at the time i've even forgotten big things like i barely remember like gangnam style remember how big that was oh yeah yeah that was huge that was like i, yeah. Yeah. That was huge. I think the first YouTube video to hit a billion or something like that. Yeah. This makes me kind of depressed about the passage of time because there are so many things. If you remember back from the 2010s where they seemed so important and huge at the time

and then you look back and like Gangnam Style. It makes me happy. Why is that? Nothing matters. Well, yeah. You're massive. If I do something, it's a massive failure.agnon style. It makes me happy. Nothing matters. Well, yeah. You're massive. Like if I do something, it's a massive failure. Everyone will forget.

It doesn't matter. If it's a win, they'll forget. If it's a lose, they'll forget. It's all going to end up on a catchphrase. Collecting dust. Well, they don't make them anymore. So I guess I'll never be on like a man-made catchphrase. I think I'm probably famous enough to be in absolutely an app one now i would

hope so are you kidding me you're way beyond you're like in the you've been on jeopardy you've had jeopardy clues and you're at times crossword puzzle yeah that's true but catchphrase is for dumber people and those are for people those other two are the people paying attention and catchphrase is more general and it's like more i would say household names i don't think i'm quite that yet but i'm okay with that so we were playing catchphrase and we kept getting yelled at by the production because they were trying to shoot like you know f boy island dates and we would be like you know like the screams like we were watching a football game and like because the timer would run out and we were just screaming um but it was me you the hair and makeup you're you're uh who you also sometimes get to do hair

and makeup now yeah leah oakley and then the uh um wardrobe stacy uh from wardrobe whose last name i just had to look up because someone asked about her stacy if you're listening i gave your name to someone and i forget her last name now but she's amazing and i love her she's very good and uh we were playing catchphrase uh tossing it around the circle and like uh stacy was sitting on the ground like not really facing us and sort of not playing and um but me you and leah were playing okay uh stacy tried to interject at one point but then um leah kind of said something over her and she didn't get to interject at one point, but then Leia kind of said something over her and she didn't get to interject and then you go,

you go, I forgot exactly what you said. You go, you missed your shot, razzle dazzle or something? You go, you missed your shot, you get trampled, bitch, razzle dazzle. You get trampled, bitch. Razzle dazzle. You get trampled, bitch.

Razzle dazzle. Just thrown in at the end. You get trampled, bitch. Razzle dazzle. It was, yeah. And you couldn't, it was so gratifying. You were laughing so hard for so long. It felt like I was, that must be how Kirsten feels.

Yes. It just was so nice. Even though I'm a comedian, I should know what it felt like i was that must be like how kirsten feels um it was it just was so nice even though i'm a comedian i should know what it feels like but to make someone laugh on a thing you have not planned oh yeah feels just so amazing so i would like to have that memory recorded and i feel like that that makes me think of um like a reverse internal sunshine which is like wouldn't it be nice if you could have like every single moment in your life recorded or at least accessible in your brain? Yes. So you can go into a room and be like, do you want to act?

They did this in Minority Report. And I do believe that it's true that every single memory that you've ever experienced is in your brain somewhere. Yeah. It's just the neuronal pathways to get to it are completely decimated. But we also remember things the wrong way.

So the memory you had is definitely not the way it happened. We know that. They call it the golden scissors. You can retrain your brain to convince yourself that something that happened one way happened another way by just continually remembering it that way over and over again until the fake memory becomes stronger than the actual memory. OJ Simpson did not kill his wife.

And I think he truly believed it. That's probably true. Yeah. I really think he believed it. Yeah. Because you say it enough, you just start to. And you think it enough. So if you're like, oh, Jerry was at that party.

Jerry was never at the party. But if for 10 years you're thinking Jerry was at the party, Jerry was at the party, and then you see Jerry, and you're like, remember when you were at that party? And he was like, I was never at that party. I was in Ethiopia on Peace Corps. It's wild when that stuff happens to you. Yeah.

Where I'll be like, no, there's no way you weren't. And they're like, there's no way I was, and here's receipts.'s receipts and i'm like oh my god what the fuck is wrong with my brain yeah it's happened a lot um it's disturbing but what what event would you uh i'm trying to think of other events i'd recall it's all just funny stuff it's all like really funny you had to be there moments i think that i would i mean this is kind of this is uh kind of cliche but i would definitely go back to my wedding i would go back to dancing at my wedding oh yeah i would go i there was there was a moment when i was in college where i was just like in it was freshman year first semester of college where i was in like the shared shower in the dorm

and i was just for some reason so happy and optimistic and excited it was like that college freshman sort of like optimism i have not been able to recover that optimism since then and i remember this moment exactly where i was just in the shower and i was like everything is going so well i love my life so much college is awesome i love that i'm so hopeful for the future yeah you need to smoke weed again. I haven't felt that way since then. This is all leading to, yeah. Or another moment was when I got just for laughs.

I was coaching an improv group. I walked out. I got the call. And I was walking down Broadway on the Upper West Side. And I was just like, I got it. And I felt walking down Broadway on the Upper West Side, and I was just like, I got it. And I felt so optimistic. A misled optimism, I would say, because getting Just for Laughs did absolutely nothing for me. But at the time, it felt like this is so important and amazing.

Yeah, that's a nice moment. I'm trying to think of... Oh, my God. I would relive the roast. I'd relive the happiness of getting... I would relive the roast. Watching you crush up there was like winning the Super Bowl. Why wouldn't I relive it? I just wanted to stay there.

That's interesting. I wouldn't want to relive anything. I'd want to maybe watch. I could watch the roast. I could watch that moment again and again and again. I think someone filmed it. I think footage does exist. That's so weird. I haven't watched it. I think footage does exist. That's so weird. I haven't watched it.

I really haven't. I sent a couple of clips and stuff, but I lived it. So I'm just like, I'm not interested. And there's nothing I can do. Watching it is only, I would only watch it if I had to edit it.

And I don't even want to do that. But I will say that I would just like to go back and everyone and my friends and my parents and the lives of the people I love to see the moment they saw their husband or wife for the first time. Oh, sweet. I love hearing stories of how people met or when they both knew or the moment like it turned romantic. Like I watched a clip of Freddie Prinze Jr. talking about him and Sarah Michelle Gellar starting out as friends and then becoming romantic. When would they went on? They were like just friends hanging out for two years and they were not into each other.

And then they went out with another friend. They were supposed to go out with another friend. That friend didn't show up. And then it ended up being a date. And then on that date, they drank enough that they were kind of each other. And then they went out with another friend. They were supposed to go out with another friend. That friend didn't show up. And then it ended up being a date. And then on that date, they drank enough that they were kind of like, this is romantic. And then it was that, like, I love those moments where it turns romantic. And you know. That's why I've asked to hear your story of meeting Ali for the first time so many times.

Afi, I feel like I know the origin. You saw pictures of him online before you met him. No, no. It's actually similar to freddie prince and um sarah michelle geller we became we were friends through the metal scene oh and he came to a podcast that i was on and at first i was just like not interested we just were acquaintances for maybe i think eight years before we started dating and then I was on the radio. Wait, this is insane. I don't know this.

I knew this at one point. I met him for the first time in 2011 through a friend. Was not interested. He was in a relationship. I was in a relationship. Is that why you weren't interested or was there like you clocked it? I thought he was cute but I was just like

I do not want to date the front man of any band i was into the guitar players at that point oh my god that's so funny so stupid and then i found out recently that noah was like truly in love with a front man of a band named axl rose oh you told me? You were in love with Axl Rose? I didn't know. Sorry, you can take it out if you don't want. No, it's fine. I don't care. She loved Guns N' Roses. Separate story.

Let's just go back to Avi for a second. The way I am with Taylor Swift, she was with Axl Rose. She used to buy magazines. This is the cutest detail. I'm sorry, Noah. She used to buy... She saved it for money. Was this high school or middle school? This is the cutest detail. I'm sorry, Noah. She used to buy... She saved up her money. This high school or middle school?

This was definitely high school where he was on the cover of Spin Magazine. And it wasn't even like a recent photo. It was like an older one. Sure. And I put it in a large Ziploc bag. And whenever I would look through it, I would use tweezers.

Tweezers. I wanted to preserve it. And honestly, I would have done the same thing if I had thought of that brilliant idea with Dave Matthews' band, Rolling Stone. I used to do the same kind of shit. So I get it. But that was so cute. Similar obsession.

So, okay. So you were into guitar players. And Avi. Not interested in him in that way. And then we were on You Up together. And we were talking about the book Getting To I Do. And that's when I kind of just like saw him on instagram after years of not really paying attention to him and then i i messaged him and i did the book and i got to i do oh my god wait so you what do you remember the picture you saw do you remember

like it was such a stupid picture too it was just like him in a photo with a mutual friend and he was holding a beer bottle he was at a wedding and I was like, oh, he looks so cute. I wonder what he's up to. And then I went to his profile. It was private. And I was like, oh, well, I got a lot of good things going on. I'm going to send him a request. You know, it was one of those guys care that you have a lot of good things.

They don't care. That was before you read the book and knew that they don't care they don't care he just wanted to see hot photos of me um and yeah and then we went on our first date uh in brooklyn i think we went to first so i let him choose the place it was a bar we went to the bar and i didn't drink so he's like oh can i get you a drink i'm like i'll just take a seltzer and then when he realized that i don't drink he's like oh this is probably not fun for you do you want to go get something to eat then we went to cute uh buttermilk in um in brooklyn and then we just started talking about everything and we're like and i just was like oh

my god we have so much in common. Yeah, that's what I'd want footage of is a first date. I like the first date because it's like before both these people, they have no idea they're going to spend the rest of their lives together. Sure. It's so interesting. Love it. Also, a key veteran date move is to, if it's going well, try to change locations at least once.

That's how you get confirmation that that oh this is actually i didn't even realize it's an indicator of interest that a girl goes to a second location with you yeah if you go if you're if you start off at a bar and you're getting a drink and you said you want to get something to eat then you and they say if they say yes then you're like okay this is this i loved when that would happen on dates where it was going well and you both would feel it and you'd be like, should we just keep hanging out? It's like, oh, yes, same page, horny. Yes, it's so nice. That's such a fun feeling.

Yeah, I think that's really what I'd be interested in is seeing like. You're not interested in seeing your own memories. You want to see other people's memories. You just want a recording of everything on earth even with chris and i i would i would kind of like to see i would like to see the look on my face after the moment i knew that i was going to pursue him and like he was going to be mine because i remember when i found out it was because he like i'd already kind of like noticed him and then i found out he didn't drink and then i found out he made a video that he didn't need to make just to make the hosts laugh and when i found when they when i go who made that

video and they said chris convey from the darkness because i was on stage and they said chris convey i just would i'm sure it's actually i'm sure there's a video of it somewhere because i was on camera but we were stopped down so i don't think the cameras were rolling but i i just remember being like i almost i probably even nodded like and that is going to be my new mission like i knew it it's confirmed he's amazing yep that's my guy uh that would be fun to see sure did you guys hide your dating when you work together did you guys hide that you were dating at first oh yeah and there's nothing fucking hotter that's why being mormon is so hot like that's why being like any kind of like

i got to that in kind of like a two i leaped too far but like that's why that's why there's like porn around like mormon and step step uh siblings because it's taboo and it's not allowed and so it makes it so much hotter so yeah we were sneaking around we yeah we had a lot of fun and it was all driven by moi it was definitely it was it was fun but it was like we did some we people didn't know and we didn't do anything that would have like really gotten us in trouble i say so we don't get in trouble but like right i mean we did some really like i was i was a sexual deviant for sure i am i put a fucking gummy worm in my vagina i can be very weird when i'm in the beginning of a relationship and things are horny like i get i get pretty uh um creative so we had some really fun moments but no people didn't know but

they did he didn't tell fucking anyone because he like doesn't need to do that kind of stuff but i everyone knew that i was like in love with him before we were even together so when we got together they all knew and then i would just and then i and i would just blush and i would just he would leave a room i was so in love with him when he didn't know he thought I hated him he would like leave the room and I would like fall on the floor and like make a big everyone knew everyone knew except him um so it was when we got together yes we had to keep it secret and then I was like the second we kissed I was like let's tell everyone we're together like I didn't say, but I would have. But I had learned by then to not be like that and just be like, play it cool. See when he tells people, which would have been fucking never.

People still wouldn't know if it were up to him. But yeah, eventually we got to be out with it. I don't think it was like a, we have to announce this to everyone or anything like that. It just like kind of naturally happened. Did you just show up to places together and then people kind of i think it just word got out because the people i told told people and then it just trickled down and then i think it was never something we had to announce because then the show was canceled before that happened um yeah it was so fun. It's, and people are always like, kind of have to tiptoe around talking about office

romances because there is a power imbalance oftentimes involved. Um, but guess what? That's how people meet. Sometimes you have to disclose to HR that you're in a relationship now. Um, yeah, we didn't tell MTV HR at the time, Carson Daly, whoever it was that was leading that branch. Um, no, we didn't, we didn't tell MTV HR at the time, Carson Daly, whoever it was that was leading that branch. No, we didn't. We didn't tell anyone. Wherever you work at MTV, you have to tell Carson Daly your relationship status.

I'm sure there is protocol for that, but I don't begrudge anyone meeting at work. That's how you fucking meet. And when people go like... It's where you spend most of your time. Exactly. Allie has a saying uh don't get your honey where you get your money oh that's better than don't shit where you eat or whatever people say that makes me just like don't shoot people's mouths and then ask them for a paycheck i think

i hate i hate don't jump where you eat okay so don't get your honey where you get your money yeah i like that phrase i'll tell you though when you're getting the honey where you get your money it makes going to work so much fun oh my dear god when during the u-up days man when i would have a crush come in there's nothing better than when i would like inter like a guy would be booked to come in and like i would be interviewing him and like there's already been a vibe because we would just have comedians on and i was single at the time and so that would be so i would be skipping to fucking work that day when there's gonna be like a roommate like it's having a crush is the best feeling like butterflies for someone is great and i have it for chris sometimes like we haven't seen each other for a really long time so recently when we've been talking it's been like oh hi oh my god you're such a cutie like there's been a lot of yes it will never be what it was that part of our

relationship has died forever it will never be as horny and as electric they'll invent the pill will they please i'm craving it but no we've done some like i think that's what role play works to, to, um. Sure, that helps. But to get chemically infatuated would be, would be something worth pharmaceutical companies pursuing. I've, I've always said that if they could sell, if there was a drug that made you feel the way it feels to have a crush, I would be on Skid Row. There's no question about it. I'm lucky that I, I don't get crushes easily i think they're

called love addicts i think i'm a love addict that is just too picky to have gotten like to a bad place with it but i absolutely love the feeling of having a crush so much and and then i like i recently felt there was something that reminded me of it that i was like oh if there was some it was like an an album or something that felt crushed like in my infatuation with it and then something i got rejected by it in some way recently and the feeling came back to me of like when you like someone and they don't like you and it's a on the other side of the crush feeling is a devastation oh it's so bad of rejection or a loss when you just know a crush isn't gonna work out one time this guy i like we had been back and forth so many times and i thought there was like a vibe between us and fucking ian fight ants was

like there was i felt nikki he totally is into you and so he's like send him a text like make it happen tonight just say what like is on your mind and he's like tell him the truth and i like wrote him like you looked cute tonight or like i took it like we were like friends again after having been romantic and then it was like we were just friends now but i was like are we though i still like him so i wrote like you look cute tonight and he instantly called me and was like nikki no this is never gonna happen again this door is like he pretty much was like this door is shut like he was very nice about it so honestly so nice about it but it felt horrible it's so embarrassing to get rejected but it happens to people all the time it's it's very common you can't not in life you have to do that out there or you could take no swings nikki no i thought he was

picking up the phone to be like let's do it meet me on the corner and it's like nikki no he literally goes nikki no like bad girl and i'm like oh man that's the opposite of what turns me on no what were you gonna say well i was gonna say that um i don't like i mean i'm not it's only one time that i had to be on the other end of that the The person being like, blah, blah, blah. No, we're not doing this. Yes. It was so uncomfortable. But I have to say it like propelled our friendship to this other branch.

And now it's like someone who I'm so close with. Yeah. And he's one of my dearest friends. I've been the no, it's never going to happen. And it's led to some great friendships too i can't recall any of them because they all fell off as soon as i know actually i want to i want to my one of my closest friends who i won't reveal uh used to have a crush on me and it was to the point where it was like i can't do this anymore like i can't talk about my life with you because you seem to be so angry that you know like when you're a girl you want to talk about

guys even to your guy friends even though they're bored by it but at least they're not angry about it but this guy would get like hey you could i could just tell it was hurting him and um and now it's like so much time has passed that it's i don't even consider that we had to go do our separate things but now it's like that was we're different people and we were that's the truth of it is that um and i i think i could be friends with the thing is though you just don't become friends with men when everyone's partnered up you don't make new male friendships sorry ladies you don't get new like you can get the you can get the you can be grandfathered in yeah you're not making new you're not making new friends and it's not because of your jealous boyfriend it's sometimes because of their jealous

partner but it's also sometimes not because of either of those it's just like it's rare if it happens i'll say that but i just don't think's just like, it's rare if it happens. I'll say that. But I just don't think, I don't think it's happening. New friends? Sus. It sucks though. I don't have any new female friends that aren't like my friend's wife. Here's a great point that I'm going to frustrate people about. But I've thought this through a lot.

Here's the thing when you are two people of the opposite sex and you're both straight and your best friends or good friends or whatever and then one of you gets a partner it's weird when you tell the it's just it's a little bit weird to go hang out with that friend and tell the partner like i'm not hanging out with you i'm going to hang out with this other guy or vice versa right i'm gonna i'm not hanging out with you girlfriend i'm gonna go hang out with this girl who's my

friend that i hung out with before we were together but and then she's like but and if you don't invite them it seems like you're doing something naughty even though if it was another girlfriend your boyfriend wouldn't give a fuck and he, and he'd be glad not to be invited and wouldn't want to go. Okay, so that's fine. That's fine. You're a friend, two friends, opposite sex, both straight, and now this guy got a girlfriend. Now this girl, to hang out with this guy, must always now hang out with the girlfriend in order to hang out with the guy. Otherwise, it's sus, and the girlfriend in order to hang out with the guy other otherwise it's us and the girlfriend's gonna start hating you but sometimes and you may love the girlfriend

honestly she might be great and i'm i'm people are just are maybe gonna try to be like this is about andrew but this is not about this is i've formed this opinion long before anything um it's and even before chris like and me making new guy friends sometimes though you i don't know no if i you and i are hanging out and you were like i have to bring avi i'd be like what i like avi but i i like our dynamic it's what i'm used to and like we're gonna talk in a different way than i'm gonna talk around your fucking partner and that's not because i don't like him or when i hang out with him but imagine but but friends that are male and female they can't ever hang out without the partner being there and you might go well what's wrong with the partner being there here's what's

wrong it just changes the dynamic it's nothing against the partner it's just like you never get your old you never get your old dynamic again unless they're out of town which then feels like sneaky for a reason it shouldn't be i used to be guilty of this like i would bring my boyfriend everywhere this is like when i was really young in relationships and didn't know any better but i think through esther perel and her like thought and stuff like i realized you you need to have your autonomy you got to have your own friendships you can't have your partner and everything that you do it's just like they can't be everything for you that's why you need other people but i think it's rare is looked down upon to hang out with a man alone when your

boyfriend is available to hang right and you and vice versa it looks like something fishy might be and vice versa it just is. And it shouldn't be, but it is. And Chris, I do think it just speaks to how secure you are in your relationship. And no offense to people that get jealous of that. Like, uh, I,

uh, I, I think that if you, I don't care if Chris hangs out with a girl, I know everyone knows that I don't even care if he would to be doing other things with a girl, but I, Chris also doesn't care if I hang out with male friends that i was friends with before if i made a new

male friend he might be like what i think that's kind of sucks because i like being friends with men but it's not because of chris it's society it's not chris i mean i've i've hung out with friend girls that are friends that are that i was friends with before Allie I'll go to a lunch with like my friend Christina and we'll just chat or is Allie at work or is Allie free on this Saturday to also go to this lunch?

She's free. I don't think it's a problem. Like Chris has his friend Nick. Sometimes he hangs out with Nick. Yeah, I'm saying and I don't care but I'm different I'm saying that more people need to get on I'm not trying to be like I'm the cool girl because I know it comes across like that like I'm different than other girls but I do think that um it should be allowed more yeah I will say if he made a new girlfriend right I at least and then you're like why don't you want me there if it was like i've got a new

girlfriend you got steamroll bitch razzle dazzle yeah um if you're i think it depends on the hang like if you're like i'm gonna go watch a movie at her place oh that's no good fuck yeah no that's no good i'm gonna go to lunch with this person who's also maybe in your industry too like that's i feel like totally yeah okay but industry no then you're like, I'm going to go to lunch with this person who's also maybe in your industry too, like that's, I feel like totally fine. Yeah, okay. But industry, no. Then you're making something about work

and you're excusing that friendships can only exist if there's work involved. But that's not true. People should be able to be friends with the opposite sex and still be attracted

to the opposite sex and not be accused of being attracted to that person and be able to have an independent friendship. And I believe that I do. I honestly do think that I have that with Chris. And if I did

meet a new guy that I wanted to be friends with, Chris would be friends with him because Chris is fun to hang out with. So it wouldn't be hard. I just answered my own question. Final thought. I have a final thought. Can I say a final thought? Because I'd be remiss not to mention this. Oh yeah, we didn't even get to Utah or Noah's thing. So I saw

Axl Rose last week. No, you did not. I. So I saw Axl Rose last week. No, you did not. I did. I saw Axl Rose last week. So I went to the Intuit Dome to see Billy Joel. My second time seeing Billy Joel. He's my Taylor Swift. I'm going to see him a third time.

I'm going to see Billy Joel a third time in Vegas in just a couple of weeks. That's so exciting. Billy Joel was actually at the Miami show that I was at and went backstage and met Taylor. Really? With his kids. Yeah. There's a picture I saw last night.

It's so cute. That's pretty cool. Okay, so you saw Billy. Yeah. So Billy Joel had a couple of special guests come out during the show. One of them, it's so funny because one of them was John Mayer.

And I've seen John Mayer make a surprise special guest appearance at four different concerts now. And one time at the Comedy Cellar. Oh, wow. See, that's an unmarried man. Yeah, there you go. Without cats.

He played a good guitar solo. It's true. But me and Allie were just like, I cannot fucking believe it's John Mayer. Because when he's like, we got a very special guest. And we're like, ooh, who are we going to see? I'm surprised he didn't come out. Did he come out at the Super Bowl? No, he didn't, right? Now this is is gonna be a fun thing for you guys it's got

next time it happens you're gonna go four times it's john may like you'll say it together with the person who says it that pretty much happened to billy joel wow um what did they sing together or play together sorry um a billy joel song uh i forgot which one but then he brought out a second special guest to sing uh live and let die paul mccartney's song fun i know and the special guest was axel rose to sing it i thought you were gonna say paul mccartney um that would have been better that's really cool i know it was really cool that song rules and I bet Axl fucking tore that song up. Yeah, he did a good job. He was.

Yeah, he did a good job. It's like in his range. We used to be in his range. I'm sure. Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't quite like, you know, Guns N' Roses era singing, but it was still. How was Billy Joel's voice?

Amazing. Still just. I can't believe it. Yeah. It's like. Amazing. One of my favorite bands to go would be to ever go see would be Simon and Garfunkel. But I know if I saw Simon and Garfunkel now, I'd be like,

the vocals just aren't hitting the mark. Because they're so vocal heavy. They're so about the vocals, yes. Billy Joel, I was worried before I went to see him the first time that his voice would not match the recordings. And it's not just as good, but it's pretty close. That's incredible. He puts on as good but it's pretty close that's incredible he puts on a show it's that's awesome and uh know what when you when you hear that he saw axl rose does that send your heart a flutter like do you still get like it doesn't excite you at

all you're totally over it i'm so over it after meeting him i snuck meeting him yes i snuck in to madison square garden when he came back uh you know like the the fake guns and roses band back in like 2000 something i snuck in backstage met him at a party and after that it just like i was like i don't care about this guy anymore why was i obsessed with what was the interaction it's not anything he did he was very nice to you right he was very nice to me but it was just like this this person that i was i was craving him so badly and then once you satisfy the craving you meet them and then i was just oh god i used to crave someone so badly like that i mean obsessed and i got to hook up with him.

And I remember, it's unreal. Like teenage fantasy, not literally, yeah, teenage. It was like probably 1920 were the ages where I was so in love with this person. I thought the year was 1920. 1920. It was about 1920. The golden age. That was my teenage fantasy.

I was either 19 or 20, and I was desperately in love with this person. Was it Charlie Chaplin? No, it was, and look at me, I can't think of a single other person that was famous in 1920. Wait, hold on. Let me see if I can get it hold on um

Buster Keaton I mean I think yeah Buster Keaton I think so yeah I think that's okay that was good that was good good job Nikki yeah he was in the general in 1926 yes dude I nailed it

you totally nailed it. Razzle dazzle. Razzle dazzle. Okay, so, but yeah, I remember I got to hook up with him. I like found a way to make it happen. And this wasn't someone that was just so extraordinarily famous or anything, but he was like enough of a star that I could really like, oh my God, if I ever, and I did. And I remember just in the middle of it not even the middle the very beginning

i'm being literally saying in my mind as if i was filming a movie this is it like in that tone like the end of boyhood no the end of is it boyhood the richard lake letter movies oh really at the end of those ones where it's like yeah i think it's boyhood where the mom at the end it's an incredible scene where she's at the end of her, she's in her 60s or something and she goes, this is it. Like she's not happy even though then they show that she inspired all these people and stuff, but she's still not satisfied. No, it was like filming The Office and it was like, I did a look to camera like, Jim,

like, why did I do this? I remember being so self aware. I remember every single second and moment of that hookup because it, it started to become like, oh, this is, I can't believe the pedestal I had this person on. It was awesome.

It was so awesome. And the story around it is so funny. Obviously you cannot say who it is. No, but is there any little crumb for speculation i've already given dates i've already given dates and that's enough for people to probably like like your sleuthing will not give you the answer because i'm not i'm i'm not going to give you enough that you will ever be able to like actually validate it so no no more information if you piece together every podcast I've done in my whole life,

you can prop AI could probably scan other podcasts and put together this person. But, um, but I just remember, and it wasn't because this person was like a terrible hookup or something. It just, and I think we've all felt that in ways where we like romanticize what it would be like to kiss this person. Then you do.

And you're just like, this isn't like it. I was, I was living in a flea bag yeah right yeah well how dangerous would it have been if they did meet the moment and they blew your fucking mind oh well i've also had that where i've with chris it was like that because and chris i had was obsessed with like in a way that like my the same part of me that loves taylor swift like crushes on guys. I get as obsessive and detail-oriented. Did you hear him say this?

I'm a Swiftie in every part of my life when I get into something. And so with Chris, I had fantasized about it and thought about it so many fucking times. And I knew based on my whole existence that i would always build up these crushes and then i would finally get with them and then i would instantly be like i don't like this anymore yeah but with chris it was it was so hot it was so on it was so exciting it was so electric it was everything i wanted to be that's why as soon as we kissed i jumped into a cab he was like i didn't even know like what was going on because you were in a cab so fast after we kissed because i didn't want anything to ruin the moment and like take me out of it i was

just like i got what i wanted this is as high as i'm gonna get and i can't get any higher and um yeah and and then i also think though that the reason i kept liking him even after we hooked up was because and the reason i used to not like guys when we would hook up is because i would be like oh he likes me and like this is boring now and i don't think chris liked me right away and i think deep down i knew that and i think he would admit that like i he was still a challenge for me and so i was still interested it took me many years i would say until may of 2024 until i was like willing to accept that it's very comfortable to have someone love you and not have to be like pursuing them and just like let it

in and that's all i'll say on that and we'll find out about utah next week and also um some the bestie slid into your dms noah yes can i just answer it real quick sure so basically i got a dm from kelsey and uh she wanted me to let you know she's a huge bestie she's been to like 12 of your shows and uh her and her friend lauren are going to your memphis show and lauren is having a divorce party and she's celebrating her divorce so we want to say oh my god that's so exciting congratulations it's so hard to divorce it's so easy to just stay it's so much to go through as louis would say there's no such thing as a bad divorce that's such a good good line it's so good and and it's so hard to do you're

so strong to go through it um and to leap into the unknown and also feel like a failure. You know what? Whoa. Okay. Hold the fucking phone. I just uncovered something. Weddings are so over the top to discourage you from divorcing because it is so embarrassing to throw a ceremony where you declare your love to everyone you know and you spend all of this money and you rent out this venue and you hire a band and you have fly-in people from all over even sick old grandma and then you throw it all away what was all that for that's embarrassing you are you're an idiot that you just did all that they are purposely designed to discourage people from divorcing. I truly believe that. It shames you.

Yes, it's part of the church. We'll design a wedding, an event that makes it so you feel like this is so locked in and you'll be humiliated to then take it all back. And you have to vow before your government, before your God. Guys, go easy on your weddings out there.

Make it so that if you take it back at a couple, you don't have to stay any because some people have a wedding and i think they want out within two months but they go i gotta at least wait a year and then a year they're like it's still too soon it feels weird we just got the pictures back because pictures take forever to get back and then they those checks and then they say two years because usually when i ask people about the divorce and i go how long did you stay they go i I was married for seven years but uh divorced

and I go so it was good for two years and they're like yeah it's never it was good the seven years and then we called it quits ever ever so good on you for finally pulling the plug I'll see you in Memphis um thanks for plugging that date too

for me I don't know when I'm gonna be there but it's gonna be a fun night and I hope I remember no i hope uh if you could remember remind me to maybe say something that night at that show that'd be fun um i'm on the road guys so many new tour dates uh announced so exciting so many new places i'm going to check it out nickiglazer.com come see me on tour you know i love when i meet you thank you so much for listening to the podcast.
