Starting point is 00:00:42 I'm here with Brian Frangie. Hello. Noah. Hello. It's the Nikki Glaser podcast. I'm here with Brian Frangie. Hello. Noah. Hello. He's in Arizona. We're here. We're doing it. Oh my God. New week of shows.
Starting point is 00:00:53 Oh my God. How far we've come. How do we do it? How do we keep making it every week? How do we... I was just talking to someone about doing a podcast and how even like you think doing something once a week will be like, oh, it's just once a week. That's like easy. But even once a week catches up to you and you go, oh, my God, again, two times a week.
Starting point is 00:01:15 I like doing multiple times a week because it feels like it never goes away and you never have that thing of like, oh, fuck, I got to do that thing. Like, it's just it's always right. It's more ever present. Four times a week was fucking bananas when we used to do that i don't know how we did that how did we do that i mean well that started during covet right no well we used to do our radio show for two hours four days a week from 10 to 12 eastern every single day yeah that's just a full-time job and that was not something you could pre-record, right?
Starting point is 00:01:46 Like we just had to do it. Non-negosh had to do it. That's how I met Noah in case, uh, besties don't know, um, was at Sirius XM and, she's my producer.
Starting point is 00:01:59 And, uh, we met early January 2018. Oh my God. it was so long ago 2018 is like is legit long ago now that's my favorite year it was the best year
Starting point is 00:02:13 that was a good year actually I loved that year I was terribly depressed in January when we were starting the show I was going through a really bad bout and then I started Transcendental Meditation and then that really helped and then it was just like a fun year of going to like starting the show being excited about the show still doing clubs like starting to do pretty well in clubs um really getting in back into the new york scene i just moved back in january of 2018 to do the show
Starting point is 00:02:40 from la where i did not safe for a couple years. And then it was just like nightlife. All my friends were single. That sounds like a good Netflix series. All my friends were single. The summer, all my friends were single. That does seem to be a trend amongst titles of shows now. They have to be like long sentences. Yes.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Or sentence fragments, really, I should say. Fragments. The year that i was pretty um nobody wants this uh or or the it's really like a three word title it used to be one word titles or the blank you have the sopranos the wire and now it's like nobody wants this sharp little objects pretty little liars little fires everywhere you know it's like i think the name is so crude oh yeah the success of a show i can tell you if a show is going to succeed based on the name alone but slow horses you wouldn't think that would be a good show and i think it would be do better if it didn't have that name to be honest with you absolutely because i have i have not wanted to watch it because of the name. And then people go, no, it's actually great.
Starting point is 00:03:48 And I thought it was going to be some kind of like Yellowstone thing. Yeah. Yeah. Like Western drama. Right. No, it's not that at all. I still haven't watched it, even though people tell me it's going to be great.
Starting point is 00:03:59 And people tell me what it's about, and I don't believe them because of the name Slow Horses. I know. There's no way it's about spies in England. Yeah. Isn't it about a campaign? I don't know what it's about. I still am confused, actually, because I just think it's about what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:04:16 It's like Kevin Costner must be in it. There's galloping horses in slow motion, and I'm not interested, and that's what I have to watch to get through the credits to get to the show. That's right. Let's talk about credits. Are there any credits you enjoy watching that you do not skip over? Well, a galloping horse in slow motion was actually the first ever movie ever made. Oh, yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Or animation. The first ever animation. Well, no, it was the first movie. Yeah. Oh, I guess you're right. That's what people used to watch. It's crazy. It's a fun thing to watch.'ll i'd watch a galloping horse i've never been on a galloping
Starting point is 00:04:50 horse i don't think i've never galloped i've definitely trotted trotted um galloping but never got to gallop i would love to just be like looking behind me while i'm being chased by someone and i have to go like let's go faster oh that'd be so fun he he is that what I have to go, hee, hee. Let's go faster. Oh, that would be so fun. Hee, hee. Is that what you have to do? Hee, hee. What do you go? Whatcha, whatcha. What do you say? Yah. I think it's, I thought it was yah. Yah. Okay, yah. You're right.
Starting point is 00:05:15 You're right. That would be pretty fun to look behind you at someone chasing you and have to go faster. Have a bow and arrow. Or it's like a flirty look because you're like flirting with another cowboy and you guys are like, and you're going to fall off the horse and then he's gonna like come to your rescue and hold you and then you make out yeah and sometimes you see that in reality shows where like people like have fun on a horse together but it's always slow because of because they're worried about lawsuits yes yes okay how often do you think in real life two people tumble on each other like something
Starting point is 00:05:46 goofy happens and then they kiss after they tumble upon one another i would say zero percent of the time zero times ever i mean i'm trying to think of any meet cute where i let's even talk about like you spill something and then like your hand hits the thing at the same time and whoever thought of that the first time for a rom-com a brilliant person i don't like when like things become cliche and we make fun of them and we don't give credit when the first person who thought of it brilliant like the first time you saw a girl drop a bunch of books and then she's like oh i'm sorry excuse me and then they both their hands touch on one of the books that's a great moment that's a great tv moment it's just been done to death when the first time was good was the first one was that in the what year do you think that i'm sure someone
Starting point is 00:06:28 could trace it for us yeah um but that is like a thing that happens all the time but i don't think it happens ever in real life i'm trying to think if i've ever had a moment where um well you literally fall on top of each other and you're on the ground I just watched a movie two nights ago that had that happen in it and it was it was a cute scene I'm glad it happened but it was in I really recommend it it's called My Old Ass and it's on Amazon Prime you guys it is so fucking
Starting point is 00:06:56 good the performances are great it's just a realistic dialogue realistic like acting and then it's just just I know you're gonna like the whole movie you're gonna go okay really is this like the best movie and then you just wait wait for wait for it because you're gonna feel emotions you haven't felt in a really long time and there's gonna be like answers about your life that you're like you're just gonna live a different life the next
Starting point is 00:07:20 day and then it'll wear off because it's been two days now and i'm i'm back to being the person i was before but for a day i was like i need to be i need to savor things more it's just a really great movie my old ass it's starring aubrey plaza and then a little girl that was like i guess created the cup song which seems way too maizey stella maizey stella she looks by the way if you want to know what gen Z M looks like, even though you can go see it on our YouTube when she was on the show, she looks exactly like Maisie Stella. Literally. And she talks the same as her in the movie. They are the same person.
Starting point is 00:07:57 They are the same person. I was... Oh, yeah. Jesus. It was wild. Right? That's Gen Z M. Gen Z M was in a movie with all
Starting point is 00:08:06 they talk the same and act the same it's like wait a second jenzy m's name is maizey stella and she's a famous actor who has 700 000 instagram followers she should have more to be honest with you she is so good and so cute i fell in love with her in this movie i just can't wait to ever meet her and be like you were so good and then um the little girl from the sia music videos oh my god i don't know what you're talking about this is making me depressed okay so i don't know what the cup song is i don't know what the cup song i didn't see pitch perfect but it's in pitch perfect you know they're like that's why someday you'll go away in a cup and they sing like a slow song and they're like and
Starting point is 00:08:45 then they flip cups around and it's really impressive like an old folk song from colonial times anna kendrick sings it it's like yeah i've been down this road before and they're like doing the cups and they're flipping the cups around i swear to god i don't know anything else about i've never seen pitch perfect i know there's stomp yes exactly and it becomes really rhythmic and like kind of hypnotizing and it's really cute and fun but i never learned it and i'd never seen pitch perfect i know there's stomp yes exactly and it becomes really rhythmic and like kind of hypnotizing and it's really cute and fun but i never learned it and i'd never seen pitch perfect and i know i should because i know it's like a seminal comedy classic but i've just never seen it so just lay off me okay just lay on me and then kiss me as we fall on top of each other um but okay so wait let me just say the so see ya the music videos chandelier uh-huh okay and then
Starting point is 00:09:26 chandel oh so the dancing girl that little dancing girl okay good you know that great great great my mom the other night was like i don't know because i go that's a little dancing girl and by her her name is um oh damn it i used to know it her sister sings one of my favorite songs ever that i learned from dancing with the stars because she did a live performance of it on one of the nights i was kicked off every day i try it's harder than the one before i do it's uh i forget her name why am i um i have her name if you want it no yeah ziggler that's it yes there you go and then her sister something ziegler made this song called everyday and it is truly one of my favorite songs of all time and so Dolph
Starting point is 00:10:10 yeah her sister Dolph Ziegler and then so Maddie Ziegler was the little amazing dancer in chandelier they did a trilogy and elastic heart which is my favorite of them even though it made people uncomfortable because it seemed to be a little bit like old man and little girl dance together and she's almost naked.
Starting point is 00:10:28 And it's in the cage and it's my favorite. If you're not perverted, I don't think people who think it's perverted are perverted. If you look at it through a lens of these are her two selves battling it out. Good song, too. Her getting fingered at the end of it took me out of it,
Starting point is 00:10:44 but nothing bad happens. It's a really... um good song them her getting figured at the end of it was a little took me out of it but you know no nothing nothing bad happens it's it's a really that that music video those music videos i watch all the time and then the other one is um uh the one that's no that's shakira but yeah my hips don't lie no that i was singing forever it sounds like that song but it's uh i forget the name of it but that one's really good too but it's always just that little girl in a dirty house dancing or like at a dirty setting and she's wearing like kind of like bandages and stuff but it maddie ziegler is that was one of like i'm usually creeped out by children being really good at performing and being really able to summon like an emotional performance i think it's just unsettling and makes me believe in like past lives or
Starting point is 00:11:28 something. I just don't like it. I don't like it when little girls can sing too well or they yodel and they have too much emotion. I just, and adults are fake unless they're have past lives. Then that emotion, you can't summon that emotion.
Starting point is 00:11:39 It's questionable. It's totally questionable. Or they're just that good of performing, right? Like they don't need to access about because i think some actors don't even feel emotion they just know how to like mimic it you know what i mean right like a robot like ai right but maddie ziggler in in those god in those music videos the choices she makes with her face and all the things she does like it's so
Starting point is 00:12:00 artistic i guess i'm just boggled by it and then she has she has like a smaller role in this film but i think her acting choices there's this one scene where she's on the dock and she's just like talking to her friend and she just like coughs into her arm and i'm like did she think to cough like did she plan that cough or did she let it come out and just like was like oh i have to cough and so my my character's gonna cough right now like it's shit like that that i fucking love like i love messy performances that are grounded in how people actually talk everyone knows that i already like that in dialogue anyway this movie nailed it and i really recommend you seeing it my old ass and then aubrey plaza is just fantastic in it and so funny and my dad like didn't know of her. Aubrey Plaza? No.
Starting point is 00:12:45 And my dad was transfixed. Like he, you could see, you know, the thing that happens to all men with Aubrey Plaza, where they're just kind of like, why am I so horny for her? And I don't even know why.
Starting point is 00:12:53 Like she's hot, but like, there's something like, she's like, scares me. Like I saw that like happen to my dad. Dad, if you're listening,
Starting point is 00:12:59 no offense. She's dangerous. Yeah. He was just like, I like, wait, who is that? Like,
Starting point is 00:13:03 you could just see it. I was like, Oh God, she's got that je ne sais quoi. Kvorka. Is that the word? Well, that's like a Jewish thing for men, mostly. Where you have that energy, that aura about you. What's it called again?
Starting point is 00:13:21 The Kvorka? I think so. Am I wrong about this? Kvorka? I like that. Babadook But Kvorka? I think so. Am I wrong about this? Kvorka? I like that. Babadook? Kvorka. There's a Seinfeld episode
Starting point is 00:13:28 where Kramer has it. Okay. Yeah. You guys have some really good words. Mench is one of my favorite words. The lore of the animal, it means.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Yeah, she's got it. She's got the Kvorka. Oh, yeah, then. For sure. And it's just, it's a great film. And then, so I've been going over to my parents
Starting point is 00:13:45 house because chris is out of town and i'm in st louis for four nights which is absurd i haven't been here that long for months and months it feels and so i've just got like my nights free i'm not sitting around by myself i'm not someone who would ever sit around by myself for a night if that happens things are going wrong and like i will just do bad behaviors i don't i don't want to be alone so i go over to my parents house as soon as i'm done with my day because i truly don't know what i would do if i just sat i just can't do it and so i go over to my parents and we hang out and i just watch them um make dinner or whatever and then my mom and I were laughing last night because there
Starting point is 00:14:26 was an Alzheimer's ad, like there was a medication ad for Alzheimer's, not laughing about that. But it was like this woman was talking about her mother with Alzheimer's or dementia or whatever it is, whatever kind of dementia. And there's this Rick Sal salty is the the thing and it was like you know my mom's uh demeanor had changed she was just angry all the time and um she was even cursing and and and i just knew something was up and and now her symptoms have completely gone down since rick salty and i was like i'll know when you have dementia because you'll stop cussing. I love the idea of me taking my mom and it being like, sir, her behavior has just changed so much. She's just behaving erratically. And they're like, the cursing and the throwing and the yelling.
Starting point is 00:15:15 And I'm like, it's all gone. She's really peaceful and measured. I think there's something wrong. Because it's like, I guess when people get dementia, they just get fucking nuts that's why i love uh rassan's joke hirsch rassan hershberg is am i being correct in saying his name i don't know i never always get his name wrong you got to know who rassan is i mean i had a youtube special that came out last year brilliant joke that i've quoted on here before about, like, if you're racist or have any bigotry in your heart, get it sorted before you get senile.
Starting point is 00:15:51 Because it's all coming out. And, like, that is so funny to me. It's like, that, because it does. Like, you get so, you get crazy. You say weird things. Well, you lose your filter. Sometimes you get hypersexual. Yeah, it's not a good. Hyperse good sexual i haven't heard of that one i think they i think some i think some
Starting point is 00:16:11 men get a perverted or women too in in nursing homes my dad had a what he my dad performs at nursing homes and one time he was playing guitar and a woman just wheeled her wheelchair up and started like rubbing on his pants on the crotch area like i think he was playing guitar and a woman just wheeled her wheelchair up and started like rubbing on his pants on the crotch area. Like I think he was playing guitar. So I don't really understand how that happened, but she, maybe she was rubbing her crotch. I kind of forget the story,
Starting point is 00:16:31 but there was something really indecent going on while my dad was playing and he just had to laugh it off, you know? Yeah. And keep on singing a Neil Young song that they probably were like, Oh, this old racket, the new age music.
Starting point is 00:16:45 Yeah. That part of your brain that brain that stops you from doing things just stops working. And then you can't, your core animalistic tendencies come through. Well, like, okay. I was thinking about this because I'm trying to make a point on stage about how like no one can really tell if they're like, you can't, you can't really predict what your brain is ever going to do. You think, you know, but because there's no free will, you really don't know what your brain is up to. You can only go based on like how you have behaved in the past and kind of you're gambling
Starting point is 00:17:14 all the time with what your brain will say. We've all had moments where it's like, what if I just screamed something right now that's really fucked up? And you're like, whoa, the only thing stopping me from doing it is doing it like it's in my brain Like what if I just did it and you kind of like freak out unwanted thought syndrome like and I was i'm trying to prove this point on stage that it makes people really uncomfortable is that like i'm not going to give away the joke, but it's like You don't know that you wouldn't do this really fucked up thing and I don't know that I wouldn't do it either
Starting point is 00:17:42 So I just don't put myself in circumstances where i would ever be able to do that thing even though i know i don't want to do that thing i'm just scared my brain might be like do it you know it's why i don't own a gun it's why i don't and and the audience kind of gets it but the other day i was like i really made a good point i was like and i kind of didn't steal it from louis show but i definitely it's it's it's why it popped into my head and i would never give myself credit for thinking of it but i definitely it's it's it's why it popped into my head and i would never give myself credit for thinking of it but yeah but it's it's kind of it would be like i wouldn't be able to put this in anything i don't think but it's a good point he made yes i was inspired to steal from him i was inspired to do something naughty in front of everyone and so i um there's in one of
Starting point is 00:18:22 his shows he's with parker posey on a date and she runs, they run up to the top of this building and she's like on the very ledge of it. And he's like, what are you doing? Come back. And she's like, I'm not going to jump. And he's like, just come back. And she was like, but I know how to not move an inch over. And I trust that I'm not going to do it.
Starting point is 00:18:42 You don't go over to the edge because you don't trust yourself. And I really loved that to do it. You don't go over to the edge because you don't trust yourself. And I really love that moment because it's true. Like we all know, like there's no way if you're on a building that there's no wind, active wind or anything
Starting point is 00:18:53 that you're just going to like fall over the ledge. Yet none of us will even get close enough for that to even be a possibility because there's a part of your brain that doesn't trust that you just won't, right? Or there's a part of your brain that doesn't trust that you won't trip for the first time just standing still as if that's ever happened to you before.
Starting point is 00:19:10 So we all have it in us to not trust ourselves, but we... But that's a good thing, to not trust yourself. You might trip because that's just an accident. You didn't mean to trip. I think that profound Parker Posey moment, I think she's insane. She's lacking a fear complex that allows her Posey moment. I think she's insane. She's lacking a fear complex that allows her to protect herself. I agree.
Starting point is 00:19:31 Chris does not have that part of his brain either. We were in Philly this weekend. Okay, so Noah, you go to this hotel. You get out of the car at the lobby, right? Like the valet. You walk in through the valet, and this is the Four Seasons in Philly. Very much recommend anyone staying there
Starting point is 00:19:48 if you have a lot of money to spend and you want to go treat yourself to an amazing, amazing hotel. I've ever... Second best hotel. Second best. It was my second best hotel too. What was your first?
Starting point is 00:19:57 I don't want to say the first because I don't want people to flood it. Okay. Well, we'll save it for intrusive thoughts. Yeah, that'll be intrusive thoughts. I'll give you my recommendation for my best hotel which'm sure everyone's gonna so go to now so you walk in and then you take an elevator to the lobby which is commonplace sometimes the lobby's not on the same floor and you press a button yeah and then you go up in the elevator and you're not really
Starting point is 00:20:20 paying attention to the lobby button what floor it says and then you shoot up into the sky 60 stories six zero and it is so and you have a it's a clear window looking out on the on off on philly and you're going all the way up you shoot up so fast and it's dizzying and then on the way down it almost goes so fast you feel like you are falling at the speed of falling like it's dizzying, and then on the way down, it almost goes so fast, you feel like you are falling at the speed of falling. It's slower than falling, but it's like, it gives you the ways. It's a remarkable view. It's like Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator, that Raoul Dahl book. You really do shoot up into space,
Starting point is 00:20:55 and you're just overlooking Philly, like you're Mufasa looking over your land. It's so cool, and then you go to your room, and you have to go down from the lobby, because your room's like room 52, but I was like like chris our room is on this 52nd floor i was like i think this is the highest i've ever sleep slept in my life besides in college when i did but i think it was the highest i've ever been sleeping like who when have i ever slept at that elevation that's insane the plane oh yeah you got me yeah the back door you're so right well anyway chris on the way down i was
Starting point is 00:21:30 like do you feel anything in your bones in your body is there any movement in your stomach is there any like tightness in your chest is there any tingling in your feet anything that you feel when you look down and we're going down and he said nothing and that is indication to me that he doesn't have the thing did you do you feel willy i've seen him do some fear some fearless things that were uh yeah that were like i would never do that like remember we were walking from between like the comedy store and the improv or something like that and that's he was just walking in like the street basically in the street with his back to traffic. You guys, people do this all the time. Honestly, what is wrong with you?
Starting point is 00:22:20 If you are walking on a street and you don't have a lot of sidewalk space, even if you have a lot of sidewalk space, there are people texting all the time that their car will just go up on the sidewalk or drunk. You guys, never walk with your back to traffic coming at you always walk on the side so that you can see it coming so that you can dart out of the way if it comes at you this is i mean i can't i can't believe how many families i see on sunset boulevard walking in a construction zone where there is cars going by at 40 to 50 miles an hour right next to them with no sidewalk and children like i've seen like families from the midwest with children walking on the side of the road it is the most dangerous thing ever please please besties please walk on the side of the street so you can face the traffic don't ever run if you go running don't ever run with traffic don't bike with traffic i
Starting point is 00:23:01 mean i guess you have to bike with traffic but that's why i don't bike i'm not doing it i don't bike with traffic. I mean, I guess you have to bike with traffic, but that's why I don't bike. I'm not doing it. I don't want my back to cars. That's so scary. Every few months, there's a story about some professional basketball player who got hit by a car biking, and now they can't walk, and it's just like, is that...
Starting point is 00:23:16 Is it worth it to bike? Is biking that great? But I think it is. Okay, we got to go to break. We'll come back after this, and Brian has something to say. Jon Stewart is back in the host chair at The Daily Show, which means he's also back in our ears on The Daily Show Ears Edition podcast.
Starting point is 00:23:33 The Daily Show podcast has everything you need to stay on top of today's news and pop culture. You get hilarious satirical takes on entertainment, politics, sports, and more from Jon and the team of correspondents and contributors. The podcast also has content you can't get anywhere else, like extended interviews and a roundup of the weekly headlines. Listen to The Daily Show, ears edition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Yes, Brian? So I feel like there are some cities
Starting point is 00:24:08 where there's a culture of pedestrian confidence that borderlines dangerous. Where there's like, I was in Boston this weekend and I just noticed, and it was like around like the Cambridge like the college campus areas,
Starting point is 00:24:23 and I just noticed that every single pedestrian would not look to see, like when they cross a crosswalk, they wouldn't look to see if the car was going to actually stop. They would just expect it to stop and sometimes not even look. People were just like darting in and out of the streets without looking. It does look cool when you aren't like looking both ways like there's no question you look cool when you aren't super scared and cautious but is it worth it is it worth it or do you also have your backpack on one shoulder do you also not wear a seat belt do you also not wear a helmet like is looking cool and maybe not scared worth you like i also think that
Starting point is 00:25:07 like worth it what brian experienced being in like a big city in boston when i used to live in brooklyn like i just got so desensitized to everything i just knew how it worked and i was like oh i know i'm not gonna get hit by this truck at least not today i'm actually glad that i left new york city because i was starting to get like that my parents would come visit and go nikki what are you doing like and i would just be like the car would pass and my nose hair would like there'd be like the tiniest hair on my chin would like graze the cab that came by and that was okay because i didn't get hit by it i knew i knew how close i was getting and you're just playing with fire constantly it's like you're gonna get
Starting point is 00:25:44 it's almost like how i felt when i quit drinking like i would flirt with duis right like you would just go oh i've only had one drink or two or it's been enough hours since my third drink that and just i was getting just a little bit too brazen and then that's when you get fucking caught and yeah and also i i know i'm to have to die someday. I just don't want to go in a miserable way. And can I just say that getting hit by a car while you're on a bike or walking is a terrible mangled way to die. It's just,
Starting point is 00:26:17 you don't want to go that way. Take risks elsewhere, smoke cigarettes. I don't care. Like, that's like, that's shitty too, but at least
Starting point is 00:26:25 it's not like your bones are all twisted and like like i it's just i'm sorry if this is triggering anyone who lost someone in that kind of way but it's just it's just think about the way you want to go and then you don't want to go i read a story like there was this man who was just like crossing the street to go to his car to go to work it was like six o'clock in the morning and someone just blew through a light and killed them yeah and it's like what do you just can't avoid it sometimes but that's why you look both ways all the time if if you're being as cautious as you can be there was a guy have you ever seen the picture i mean i'm on reddit and i see last images all the time of people and there's one that always comes up and it's a man who lost his life i think it was last year he saw a group of ducklings crossing the road and he wanted to help safely get them there and his
Starting point is 00:27:14 daughter was filming him like be cute with these ducklings and you see the car that runs over him and kills him as it's turning and blowing through this stoplight when you see it in the picture that she took of her dad and he's like shuffling these little ducklings so cute and you know what happened next it's obviously the last image because that's the subreddit but it's like yeah sometimes you're just at the wrong place at the wrong time and it's just well yeah i mean that's why you gotta watch my old ass because you're gonna learn that you just gotta enjoy everything while you have it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:46 And then you get hit by the car and you're mangled. Then the person comes out and trips and falls on top of you and starts kissing you. Yeah. Well, I was actually thinking this weekend because someone asked me if I'd ever fainted. And when I did faint, I fainted once in my life. And when I fainted, I had like a dream and it was awesome. Like and my body was going through shock and it was awesome like and my body was going through shock and it was like my body was passing out so my body was not healthy but like
Starting point is 00:28:10 I went to a really awesome place in my brain and so I was thinking last night on my drive home from my parents because the roads were slick and I sometimes let my mind wander like what if something happens I'm like I hope that I just go to the same place that i did the last time my body was like we need to shut down like i'm in an ocean and i'm floating and the waves are lapping up and i'm just like and then i wake up and i'm like you know it's there's a fucking tube down my throat and stuff that would be horrifying but at least i hope that when i go it's like a very peaceful like i i'm not with it well some say that that's the the purpose of dmt releasing in your brain is so that it calms you and puts you in a place where you don't even care what's happening right right i mean some also say that that's like your transition into the next dimension but i think
Starting point is 00:28:58 more so it's just like a you know a chemical response to death that allows the body to... It is evolutionarily important for us to die so that we can continue reproducing and having our genes advanced to be more appropriate for the, you know, the nature. So if you don't die, then you just have a bunch of like obsolete people walking around. So there is a reason for nature to provide a calming effect for you to accept death when it happens otherwise we'd have these you know people the iphone 3s walking around but maybe brian it's because death is peaceful and it's a good thing and it's maybe it's not lying to you and anesthetizing you from the horror of it maybe it actually is good and that is what you're feeling is like a good thing so is that why i guess like a part of
Starting point is 00:29:49 it if if someone dies like abruptly like gets hit by a car i mean that's why it's so tragic because they didn't really have the chance to get the end yeah you know i i think that's the kind of the way i want to go there is a part of me that does want that DMT release before I go because I've heard of it. And it would be nice to know like, oh, this is the end. But there's also a part of me that just wants a bridge to fall on me because it's like the fastest or like to be in a submarine and go, you know, really quick. But apparently in that submarine, it wasn't that quick. And I was probably really horrified. They probably just sunk and sunk and sunk until it finally was like and dying with other people like watching them panic and stuff
Starting point is 00:30:31 no thanks i'd be like calm down we didn't you guys know we had to do this eventually i would be the one uh i i always have wanted to work on a joke about being in a plane crash and trying to figure out how to get on the boingo Wi-Fi to say goodbye to my parents and having to change my password and enter a new password. I'm like, they're not matching. And I'm jostling around like, oh, God, I already used that fucking dead dog's name. Okay, I'll do a question mark and an exclamation point. How you have to click, accept cookies and all the things. You look at their in-flight entertainment and you're like, okay, should I use my status
Starting point is 00:31:10 or should I just buy it? You go, $8. That would be just such a funny panic as you're trying to say goodbye and you just go, I guess I'm just not gonna. I guess I'm just not gonna. $29 for a flight pass is a lot to ask to just say goodbye to your family.
Starting point is 00:31:28 I know that my mom would not want it that way. Nikki, listen. I told my parents last night, or two nights ago we were at dinner, and I was like, if I die tragically, will you please be generous with my money as I am with mine? I sometimes worry that you guys are gonna get it, and will you please be generous with my money as I am with mine? Like, I don't want it.
Starting point is 00:31:45 I sometimes worry that you guys are going to get it. And then you'll be weird about it. And then you'll just die with it because you'll be like, we're not doing. And I just want you to try to think like me in your generosity with it and helping family and friends. And they go, well, we're not getting anything. You gave it all to Lauren. And I go, because I just trust her to be more generous than you are. And she was like, there's no guarantee she'll give it to us and i was like
Starting point is 00:32:07 then we got into a fight about my money and what my sister's gonna do it was like this whole thing that um so i gotta get back in there and and make sure it all goes to like i don't know pita or something that'd really piss them off but um but i was uh what was i gonna say oh we were talking about um yeah i've just been hanging out with my parents so much. And it's been really fun. We've been having lots of laughs. Oh, we watched the Martha Stewart documentary last night. Oh, what did you think of that?
Starting point is 00:32:36 Did you watch it yet, Noah? I saw the trailer for it and it actually looks good. It's good. I was like kind of not wanting to watch it because I thought, oh, here's another documentary produced by the person it's it's good i was like kind of not wanting to watch it because i thought oh here's another documentary produced by the person it's about it's gonna be a fluff piece or what you know and it's it's it's very revealing of her and of what she wanted to reveal obviously but it's i thought i felt like it was kind of like the j-lo documentaries where i was like okay well she could have taken a lot of stuff out that I would have been like,
Starting point is 00:33:06 yeah, I could, I could have seen someone taking that out if they were in charge of their own documentary. And she didn't, she left some stuff in and she surrendered all these letters that she had written her husband who cheated on her that were very revealing. And one of them,
Starting point is 00:33:19 she was like, she was flying somewhere after her husband's leaving her. And she's telling him, I can't eat.'t sleep i'm 40 years old i'm like this should be the prime of my life i'm a beautiful amazing woman and i want to die i hope this plane crashes and it's just like her writing i hope this plane crashes and i i'm instantly getting out my phone to take a picture to send a girl's chat because i've sent that exact line like probably a 30 times to girl's chat when i'm in a depressive mood and um and my mom goes nikki she sounds like you and i go i was just getting my phone out like i go when have i told you that so it was just i felt really it felt really good to see someone um as you know perfect in quotes
Starting point is 00:34:02 because i didn't ever look at Martha Stewart as perfect, but that's kind of what the theme of the whole movie is, is that she was seen as this perfect person that, uh, like going to jail and stuff. Yes. The pressure was on her to be this homemaker. Perfect.
Starting point is 00:34:17 James Comey, James fucking Comey, who's the reason Trump won in the fucking first place, because he was the one that did the Hillary bullshit and made made us all think butter emails that was all james coming so he's a part of this and he prosecutes her and she's just they want to get her so bad because you just they explored in the thing and they go because you want to see someone perfect fall people love it people love it and i'll admit i fucking love when someone who's just had it all seems to not and lose some of it it's the best feeling in the world it's a disgusting feeling but i like that they focus on
Starting point is 00:34:50 that because we all have it and i think that people don't admit that they have inner hate yeah it comes from insecurity if you're secure with yourself you don't care at all what other people are doing or is going on with them it's just it's you know when when you have when you feel good about yourself you really don't you just don't care that's such a good sign of someone's mental health when they're not like wanting to gossip or relish in someone else's misfortune when they do you you don't like yourself and any you can't you can't convince me otherwise there's just no way you do and that's okay because i i'm the same way but martha stewart um was uh she's fascinating and she is very masculine very very masculine noah there's a part in it where she's talking about like being in relationships and um i forget what they have what gets into it but they say something like
Starting point is 00:35:46 um you know how did he it was something about a boyfriend she had and she was like you know we just hang out i'm not interested in how he's feeling i'm not interested in how anyone's feeling i'm interested in how what he thinks and i, oh, so she's playing the feminine energy. Well, like she, because she's being in relationships, even though she is a masculine energy completely in her day to day life and her professional life. She,
Starting point is 00:36:17 you don't know this about Martha Stewart. She was, she started out as a model because it was, yeah, she got scouted as a model or not. I always know her as an old felon that i was just gonna say you you forget that she was young and looked different like her hair was different than it is things change she's beautiful she she looks like herself though i think she's
Starting point is 00:36:37 aged exactly like how she should like she's still stunning but she was a model and then don't even don't even sleep on this brian she then goes and says i want to work on wall street and is one of the only men at this wall street uh firm or whatever they're called that doesn't even have a women's room where the office is because there's no women who work there she's one of the only brokers at this and she is killing it. But then there's like kind of a stock that really falls and fails miserably. And she felt so bad about losing her client's money that she kind of got out of it. And then she got married because she just thought that's what you're supposed to do. And then she had a baby because she thought that's what you're supposed to do. And she said being a mother did not come naturally to me at all.
Starting point is 00:37:21 I thought it was supposed to come naturally. I just didn't really get a lot of affection from my mother. I didn't really care about my daughter's feelings. I, my mom didn't hug me enough. I probably didn't hug my daughter enough. And I just didn't like, I thought I really, it really resonated with me because if I was having to be a mother, that's the kind of mother I would be. Like if I lived in Martha Stewart's day and age, where you just, that's what you do. And there there's no other options I would have totally had a kid and felt like why do I this isn't this is supposed to come naturally why isn't I could just see myself like in that a lot and I'm just so grateful that I live in a time where I can explore other options because I don't think she would have had kids if she didn't live
Starting point is 00:38:00 in that time it seemed to be in the way for her and then she totally rehabbed this house after she got married to this rich guy who was like in publishing music publishing she got married to him she rehabbed this house and got into like and her dad uh was really stern and strict alcoholic abusive uh verbally emotionally even though she was his favorite and she learned gardening from him because they would just have to garden as kids because they would sell fruits and vegetables to get other food because they didn't have money because they had like six kids and they were poor. So she learned how to garden. And then she also went on a honeymoon for six months with her
Starting point is 00:38:39 husband where she toured museums and learned all about um just different the european way of doing it and in the 60s in america there was no taste like it was all canned vegetables it was just like putting soup cans like cream of mushroom on top of asparagus and that was like or putting a pineapple and like a cherry on a chicken and then that's like you know better homes and gardens like like just jello molds of bullshit. Like it was just tasteless garbage, boiling vegetables. Everything was gross. And she went to Europe and was like, I had never tasted an olive.
Starting point is 00:39:13 That wasn't like green with a maraschino or like one of the, a pimento in the middle. Like she was like, it just expanded my horizons. And then she started a catering business and just really adapted what she had learned in that six month trip in Europe Europe and started this business. And then she got a deal with Kmart to do cookware and stuff because she had made enough appearances on TV, a Today Show, different talk shows. And she was kind of getting a name for being like this you know how did she go from being a starting i can understand how someone might start a catering company but how do you go from starting catering for rich people and then how did that lead to her becoming famous uh she just started being friends with billionaires and rich people and she started
Starting point is 00:39:59 just being like a caterer to the fame to famous people so then she started getting tv appearances just by like people her being in these like kind of circles she was like that's how i that's when i learned how to act around billionaires she was like it's very rare in the 60s to be a billionaire and i learned how to behave myself and and she was very popular and just really social and like just knew how to work the system how do you act around a billionaire did she say how she didn't say but i'm guessing it's just you dress immaculately and you uh are feminine but kind of a badass and kind of don't give them too much and always leave them wanting more and wondering does she even like me and um and not being too sycophantic and yeah i don't know i being a challenge probably
Starting point is 00:40:47 cultured and just like knowing a lot about like food and all that that's was probably very impressive for conversation really well read a right she wrote journaled all the time she just is so cool and then and then that goes into the whole scandal and then her comeback but when when she started doing things at kmart okay she was like the a-list like most she was kind of like the um anna wintour of home and food right but then she did a deal with kmart and she like lost work because they were like that is we don't want that's low class kmart's low class and. And she was like, well, actually people at Kmart, just because you're poor doesn't mean you don't have taste.
Starting point is 00:41:27 And so she appealed to 75 million people who shop at Kmart weekly and was just became a billionaire from it. Yeah. And then she lost a billion dollars after her scandal, which was such bullshit. I don't really understand. She lost a billion dollars? A billion, over a billion dollars. Her stock plummeted. Wait, what was the scandal? I don't really understand a billion dollars a billion over a billion dollars
Starting point is 00:41:45 and the scandal plummeted wait what was the scandal i don't remember she got a tip to sell some stock that amounted to about like i think it was around 30 000 that she saved by selling that stock so it was like nothing to her yeah billionaire and um and it was yeah it was i was kind of on my phone during that part because i didn't care but apparently it was a hit job it was just to take her down and they pretty much wanted this guy who she apparently got the tip from to sell her out and he was like i didn't give her a tip i didn't and he could have really um he he went to jail and they were even gonna do a deal with him where he would avoid jail time if he just threw Martha under the bus and he refused to do it. And so she eventually did go to jail for 152 days.
Starting point is 00:42:32 And I know it sounds like I'm giving away everything in the documentary. I'm not at all. Like her prison stay is fascinating. It's yeah. Yeah. We know what happened. But she's just such a fascinating person and I really admire her and I think
Starting point is 00:42:48 she's... So the scandal was such a hit to her public image that she lost a billion dollars in profits? It wasn't like it was taken from her. No, it was her public image. Her stock tanked, both figuratively and literally.
Starting point is 00:43:04 When she did the roast of Bruce Willis that I was on, I think that's the one that she was on. Oh, yeah. I didn't really know her whole story. I think I obviously did research and found out some stuff, but I had a joke about her being, my mom learned so much from her about how to be cold to her daughter and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:43:21 And I think I just assumed that because I didn't think there was any evidence of that when i was researching but damn i was spot on i was like oh and my mom obviously resents that joke but um because my mom is not they have similarities and it's not terrible i would have been a cold mother too and not that my mom was cold it just wasn't like she wasn't as like get on the ground and play with us as my dad was. And that's why I've always said if I have kids, I need to be with a man who's like, like wants to play with kids all the time.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Not like a creepy wit, like a Chris Pratt. From Parks and Rec. Yes. Yes. Yes. There's been a couple guys that I've dated where I've been like, okay, I would probably if we were together long enough, I'd have your kid because you seem to really want one. And you seem to be someone who just wants to be so involved in the day to day with kids that it makes sense.
Starting point is 00:44:14 And Chris Convey is one of those people. But I don't. And I've said this to his family or a couple of his family members that have been like, he'd be a great dad. I'm like, there's no question. He would be amazing. He's so playful. He loves he's there's no one better with kids like he has great banter with kids i'm always like i don't even know what to say to kids like do you come here often like i don't i don't cool
Starting point is 00:44:34 name i always just say like i like your name or like how old are you oh that's a great age i like your backpack thank you i just don't even know what i literally am out of stuff to say to them it gets so awkward but chris is so creative when it comes talking kids but i'm just I just don't even know what, I literally am out of stuff to say to them. It gets so awkward. But Chris is so creative when it comes to talking to kids. But I'm just like, I don't want him. I'd be jealous. I'd be like, hang out with me. I don't want you playing with kids. Like, I like, I want to play with Chris.
Starting point is 00:44:55 So that's why I've said, yes, I know it'd be a good dad, but I don't want him to go to that. It might change if it's your kid, because then it would be like he's playing with an extension of you and something that you care about. Not interested. Not interested in an extension of you and something that you care about. Not interested. Not interested in an extension of me either. I just, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:45:11 After hearing what my girlfriends have been through giving birth and being pregnant and afterwards, I know that you completely heal and you go back to normal. You don't go back to normal. Gotta say. Well, eventually. Maybe like a year. A year. Yeah yeah a year but i'm talking years and i've seen my sister have three and she's like you know her you would never even know it from like my body is made to like if by anything like my sister i'd be fine it just i don't think it's even for that amount of time even if i go completely back to normal it seems like it really sucks and i i just like major shout out to everyone that puts their body through that and
Starting point is 00:45:52 like and you think you know what it's gonna be but you are not told everything you can read all the books and you can watch all the tiktoks and you can watch all the reels and you can get advice from friends but noah would you say that like you were completely informed of everything that would happen oh no absolutely not and you looked into everything right like you thought you knew everything right i mean i had an idea of what i wanted in terms of like my pregnancy and delivery and stuff but like there's definitely not enough information because there's no template for what happens it's it's all unique to the person yeah and i don't want to i don't want to get that surprise of like what what's it gonna be like for me like what are my nipples gonna look like will she latch will there be a clogged duct yes will it's just like there are
Starting point is 00:46:39 some things in life yeah i just don't i'm not interested in i'm not or like will my feet swell like saralina's foot wasn't fitting in her shoe like i just don't it and i know that's like that's nikki that's a small potatoes and they look like big ones to me but that's small potatoes for what you get out of it which is a child but i would also argue like i'm trying to make a comparison my set and it's not working that having a kid to me is the same as like being an astronaut and like i yeah when i was a little girl like everything was possible like i could be an astronaut not really because i'm not good at math but like if i worked hard enough i probably could have been an astronaut and some like worked in but it seemed too hard and yes
Starting point is 00:47:25 going to space is amazing but it's too hard to get there so i'm not gonna do it and for some reason people can grasp that when you talk about a career but when it comes to like a kid people are like no you just do it and then it's fine but it's like no i get it it's like amazing at the finish line but i'm just not willing to put in that work i just i can't like it's just no i get it it's like amazing at the finish line but i'm just not willing to put in that work i just i can't like it's just as hard to become an astronaut as it is to be a parent but no one's coming at you like oh but you'll go to space one day you know you should like that don't you want to go to space it'd be amazing you're missing out on going to space and it's like i or like you understand when you have your
Starting point is 00:48:05 own don't you want to age faster yeah yeah yeah it's just but i just think that that's an interesting point that people just kind of negate all of the bullshit you go through to become a mom because the mom part is so worth it and it is to some people but to me it is not even though i know that i would fucking love it and it would be the best thing I've ever done and I would never regret it and I would always say
Starting point is 00:48:29 it was the greatest thing I've ever done because I've literally never heard someone not say that, it's still not worth it. And it's hard for people to wrap their heads around that sometimes, I think.
Starting point is 00:48:40 We gotta go to break. We'll be back after this. Jon Stewart is back in the host chair at The Daily Show, which means he's also back in our ears on The Daily Show Ears Edition podcast. The Daily Show podcast has everything you need to stay on top of today's news and pop culture. You get hilarious satirical takes on entertainment, politics, sports, and more from Jon and the team of correspondents and contributors. The podcast also has content you can't get anywhere else, like extended interviews and a roundup of the weekly headlines.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Listen to The Daily Show, ears edition on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Okay, I have to ask a question. Please, I have to ask a question. Please, no, I ask a question. I feel like we've made it in long enough to the show where I can ask you this. I need a little bit of relationship help. And I could have texted you guys. Relationship help?
Starting point is 00:49:37 Wow. So, I have just been a raging bitch for like a week. And it's definitely hormonal. I can't control it it's like beyond and um i just like i feel like the hormones have subsided and i was wondering when you guys have something with your partners how do you reset and go back to zero because i feel like if i'm just all of a sudden cheery in the kitchen he's gonna commit me because you were just a bitch five minutes ago exactly so i don't have a good one for this all right you have to fucking eat some shit you have to you have to go hey can i just address the elephant
Starting point is 00:50:21 in the house which is me being in a really bad mood this week i just take accountability be like i i don't know what's going on with me but i have been really difficult to be around and i can't imagine what it's felt like on your end dealing with it and i had literally no control over it and i'm so sorry and i'm so sorry I put you through that but I am feeling embarrassed about I'm feeling like hung over from it and I just want you to know like I'm really sorry for what you went through dealing with it like just empathize with his point of view without making too many excuses for yourself and just you have to address it you can't just like change back to like I'm nice because like when that happens to me at least like where someone just goes from being shitty to being nice.
Starting point is 00:51:07 I'm just like, oh no, no. Now I get to be shitty because you're in a safe space. Now I get to be the one that's going to make you feel what I just felt. Cause I did. I needed an apology. I need an acknowledgement of what I went through.
Starting point is 00:51:19 You're like, from Fargo. And she, you know, when she's like bleeding and she's making pancakes and she's like you want some bisquick and it's like you're bleeding you just oh my god that's such a good yeah that's exactly that scene i just you know i've been there before too noah where i've i've just like i think we all have where you just like are acting like a fucking raging bitch and even
Starting point is 00:51:40 when you i've talked about it before on the podcast, you're saying something so mean or so shitty or so passive aggressive, and you know, you're going to have to apologize for it at some point. It's not now. It ain't, it feels too good to coming out, but you know, you know, you've just created a job for yourself that is going to be way more painful than it is to whatever. Like it's, it's going to be so hard to do, but you have to do the hard thing and just like apologize. whatever like it's it's gonna be so hard to do but you have to do the hard thing and just like apologize and then come back and help you so much farther down the road because it will buy
Starting point is 00:52:11 it will show him how to do the same thing i have a slight adjustment to that i think okay there was was there an acute incident where you did something specifically like so over the top bitchy that that needs to be addressed or is it just a general malaise of bitchiness over the course of a week it was like you know what like there's nothing specific that can be pointed to but like i'm definitely being a piece of shit oh i think a lot of it is um just my tone in the way that i answer or try to control the situation so and yeah if that's the case, I don't think an apology is necessarily fully warranted.
Starting point is 00:52:49 I think you can do kind of like a half apology by going up to them and thanking them for being so understanding while you've been such a bitch over the past week. That's good. That's nice. That feels a little bit easier than the apology, to be honest. The apology is a little heavy. If you did something really specific,
Starting point is 00:53:12 like you stabbed him with a knife and he was bleeding, then you would apologize for that. But if you're just like, I want to stab you with a knife, and it was just kind of like, was that a joke? Was that not a joke? Then I think you go, you give him a hug, and you go, I'm just so thankful that you can you know understand what i'm okay but i feel like that is me all is all is me being all of a sudden nice and he would just be like are you thanking him
Starting point is 00:53:36 you're addressing it you're addressing it to say the word acknowledge i acknowledge that i have been not fun to be around and I am working, I'm working on it and I truly did not have control over it. And I am embarrassed if you are, you know, like I am embarrassed for how I don't have control over it. And it's something I don't want to do again to you. And it probably will happen again because I'm a flawed person,
Starting point is 00:54:02 but thank you for loving me and being with me and knowing that this is a part of me and tolerating it. Um, as I navigate what it's like to have all these feelings coming up that are making me not treat you the way I want to final thought. I think you do. I think trying to apologize without saying the word I'm sorry or I apologize is shitty. I think people need to hear it.
Starting point is 00:54:30 I think people need to hear it. They need to feel like they need to. Okay. At least for with Chris, I just feel like it's really bought me a lot to say like, man, thinking about like your side of things, like if I even say that, like thinking how it must feel to have me be like such a brat for the past couple of days. I'm just so sorry. I put you through that. Like just give him some grasp of you feeling what he felt or acknowledging
Starting point is 00:54:57 that like you put yourself in his shoes. So I agree with that then, but I, I think maybe then it's a tone thing. Cause like the, the way that you're saying it feels so heavy, and I don't think this is such a heavy thing to be addressing. It feels very therapy-speak heaviness. Yeah, do it when you're both in kind of a fun mood, and just say, hey, I just want to say this is really nice, and i know that this has not been my general tone
Starting point is 00:55:25 for the past couple weeks and i know i i don't want you to feel like you're crazy for thinking i've been off because i have been off or just like i think that's where we get into so much muck in relationships is just not it's just acting like something didn't happen or moving on from it or now it's fine. There needs to be more accountability or closure. Just more self-awareness. Just being like, man, I can be shitty to be. Sometimes I'm like, Chris, it's awesome that you love me because I am really a lot.
Starting point is 00:56:00 I know I'm great in all these ways, but other guys couldn't do what you do in terms of put up with me like make him feel special for yeah i don't say that enough for sure and i think we need to feel it a little more i don't think i feel it enough sometimes and i'm sometimes i am struck by like wow i am like great like i put chris through some like weird not even tests i don't mean to but like i'll drop like a bunch of feelings about myself that he's like what like doesn't even know what to do with i just hand him a junk drawer of wires and broken things and batteries and i'm just like take it
Starting point is 00:56:39 and make it art like i just like give him my shit and then tell him to do do something with it and he he's just like standing there holding my pile of shit and like i feel and then i'm like i'm gonna go take a nap you sort through this and i think that i when i acknowledge like thank you so much for being the person who loves me and get and even gets to see the side where i get to let myself be this way around you like you're so strong and special i think that is helpful or a blow job yeah just start going up to him and rubbing his pants while he plays the guitar that would just delay everything i think i have to just rip the band-aid off and just. Walk into the kitchen wearing a scream mask and then take off the scream
Starting point is 00:57:28 mask and be like, that's how I was and this is how I am. Oh my god. That's actually a good idea. Try that. And then you can stab him and it'll make sense. Do a dance performance. Go into a life-size cage and do a dance
Starting point is 00:57:43 with an adult that is the old you or the new you and you can come to terms with the two versions of yourself via dance and make it kind of uncomfortable sexually for everyone who watches it um yeah this is an interesting topic and i just was i'm again i hate to keep saying i'm working on a bit about it but i'm i am like there was something i wanted to work on about how relationships like if in long-term relationships where you know you're going to be together forever you always check in there's i don't know anyone in a long-term relationship where it's good all the time you check in and you go how are you guys we've been good we've it's been a rough patch it is
Starting point is 00:58:26 never steady it is always changing you think you're really good and you dip back down like there's it's it's never it's never always great in a long-term relationship it's just not gonna be you're gonna you're gonna hit rough air there's gonna be turbulence always and if you think it's oh it's 100 good 100 of the time your partner is probably suffering yeah honestly i just can't imagine anyone being in a relationship where it's just smooth sailing the whole time like you check because we all have that whether or not you're in a long-term relationship you we all have a married friend how you go How are you and John? Oh, we've been good.
Starting point is 00:59:07 Like, it's always like there's, it's always a fucking gamble. You never know because, and so often it's just, okay, we're fine. Like, we're not thriving. We're not all over each other. We're not deeply in love. We're just fine. And, or we've been really good. He's not hitting me anymore like it's just bare minimum like you know like in a in a long-term relationship when someone's like we have been so
Starting point is 00:59:31 connected lately you know he only has one mistress now like it's always just like something it's it's so it's never really that great when people talk about a long-term relationship being amazing we've never been so connected um it's it's it's just hard but i i do think um last night in the martha stewart documentary um it was pretty much kind of i guess the narrative was established that she her relationship failed he cheated on her because she was too career oriented and the you know um documentarian interviewing her that's yeah well it was it was kind of like oh it's your fault martha right um but the documentary documentary and whatever that word is asked her what's more important a career or a marriage and she's like i don't know that's the question and i just go career like very quickly i'm like who gives a
Starting point is 01:00:34 marriage is and i really believe that because i believe happy wife happy life like if i'm happy in my career i'll have a good marriage If I have a good marriage and not a career, fuck that. I don't want, I will not be in a good partner. Career is, career for me is baby. Career is, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Like,
Starting point is 01:00:55 career is your purpose a lot of times. I don't think you compare career to marriage. You compare career to baby. I think it's a better comparison. But I also think of relationship. Like, when I'm, Chris just got done doing two huge career things and we i did not see him at all our relationship was just uh it was non-existent and i understood that i was like i i would never expect you to be
Starting point is 01:01:18 around right now like you're working two shows that would be insane and so it was just like he had to choose one or the other and he keeps saying like and i've been a bad boyfriend the past two months and i'm like you haven't been because it's you haven't been a boyfriend like it's i don't expect you to be good right now like that would be crazy for me to expect that so it stops saying you've been a bad boyfriend because that's that's the deal we have um but i i would say yes relationships are important but like no one's ever been like our are friendships or a career more important? It's always about a marriage.
Starting point is 01:01:49 Marriage has to be the most – that is the goal for every woman and every man. I just don't think that it can be. I do think a career is more important than a marriage. Do I think friendships are more important than a career? Probably. I'd rather have – I think relationships are more important than a career, i'd rather have i think relationships are more important than the career but a marriage no sir frequently the career is the longest term relationship you'll ever have i hope so it was there before your marriage and it might be there
Starting point is 01:02:16 after well after meeting and talking to al michaels veteran of sports casting legend the other night and he's 80 years old i know that that man is so fucking rapid fire so with it slightly hard of hearing but not really we were in a really loud restaurant there is nothing different from talking to him or my dad who's in his 60s and that's a you know 80 is is up there yeah he is so with it because he works he's still working that's right you gotta stay active you gotta stay talking you gotta stay involved and with it i really i was just i was blown away by him i was i was almost nervous to talk to him because i'm like i you know like i don't i get nervous around older people because i don't want to baby them i didn't have to do that with him at all he's a fucking There was nothing elderly about him at all.
Starting point is 01:03:05 And it's because he's still active. He's had a career who's been in the same career for 40 years. They're always sharp and like with it. But then when you meet someone who's been in the same marriage for 40 years, they can barely talk. That's very funny. There's something there. All right, we got to go.
