Episode Date: December 6, 2024

Nikki, doing what she does best, has gathered the ultimate squad at her podcast table. She’s got Brian Frange and Sean O’Connor, her friends and writers for the Golden Globes, plus Chris Convy, her partner and EP for both the Globes and life. In anticipation of hosting the Golden Globes, As she preps for hosting the Golden Globes, Nikki brings up one of her all-time fave pop culture moments — the Will Smith slap heard around the world and the Moonlight mix-up. There’s one more discussion about Wicked because there are still some things to process, like animal rights and Ethan Slater. Brian saw My Old Ass and didn’t cry, which totally shocks Nikki... but does it though? Nikki’s fully bought into the Mattress Firm conspiracy. The Wall Street Journal is writing a piece on Nikki, and when they interviewed her bestie Anya, Nikki told her to spill everything she knows. Chris might be the only one at the table who doesn’t care about being on TV, and that blows everyone else’s mind. In the Final Thought, Nikki gives a rundown of her upcoming schedule and is over the moon about a voicemail from a crying Gen Z Em.

Coming at you again live from Los Angeles. Same crew in the room as yesterday, Brian Frangie. Yes, that's true. That's not true. I know, I'm going to say except. Oh, I didn't realize there was going to be an except. Hi. And Gen Z M is no longer with us.

She died. But in her stead is my boyfriend, Chris Con convy is this where they do fat benji uh probably i think this is where a lot of a lot of podcasts i know are shot here yeah yeah you're seeing it popping up more and more i saw a really great place with a great crew yeah they're great great guys are you gen x chris or elder millennial chris i wish i was gen x i wish so bad really i i think i relate more closely to? I wish I was Gen X. I wish so bad I was Gen X. I think I relate more closely to that. I wish there was something in between.

You relate to the one before Gen X. With your taste in music. I thought you, because of my body. Oh, no, no, no. I have an old body. Some people have old souls. I have an old body. I feel like I relate to the silent generation.

But yeah, you're an old millennial What are you? Yeah the elder millennial I hated I wish there was another name Because I don't think A cusper I'm a cusper By cusper

Yeah For a while we were supposed to be Gen Y right? Oh yeah but then I think it changed to millennial Yeah it changed to millennial Why? Because Gen Y is stupid Why would they yeah, but then I think it changed to Millennial. Yeah, it changed to Millennial, and that's... Why? Why would they skip it? Both of them are stupid. Gen X is the coolest one to be by a mile. We got to grow up during the Millennium shift, so

it's cool. That's cool for us. Oh, it's named after the Will Smith album? Yeah. We're millennials. We are constantly getting jiggy with it. I'm a millennial! We're spending time in Miami that album was fucking good

it was unbelievable we're all men and black who knew that just 20 years later I would hate that man without my repassion what?

oh I just think that was his last hit he keeps bringing the hits oh my god that's so funny I don't like it at all no but I loved that album. Just the two of us.

Oh yeah, that's a great song. Just the two of us is great. I liked getting jiggy with it. I liked Wild Wild West. This is like my wife's favorite album of all time. Really? Yeah, she loves Will Smith. She loves Will Smith.

She made us play one Will Smith song at her wedding. And I was like, all right, because she loves it so much. Even still after all the stuff. Well so is there more stuff? He just slapped Chris Rock and Jada

Pinkett Smith was fucking Jaden Smith's best friend. But he did everything. No but he was cool with it. He was watching in a corner, I think. I think that slap was, you know, like you can hate him, but I mean, it doesn't take away from the talent he does have. And I think he is probably at heart a really good person,

but just got. He's wrapped up. He got too angry. I'll never forgive him for what he did to Chris Rock. The slap? Like Judd Apatow said said he could have killed him and then and then and then he's and then he's also like used it as fodder for other things and it's like he has you don't get to do that i think there was i haven't watched it because i will not click on that link but there

was he did something with um maybe in bad boys three or whatever oh yeah that's oh we're using he used that like like a joke? This industry is garbage. It's garbage. It's garbage. It does suck, though, because I think if he never slapped Chris Rock, he was kind of like the heir apparent to Tom Hanks. He was like truly a national treasure. He won Best Actor that night.

Seconds after. And they all gave him a standing ovation. Second. And they all gave him a standing ovation. Seconds after. They gave him a standing ovation. It was my favorite. I'm so sorry for what happened to Chris Rock. It's one of my favorite cultural moments of all time because it's just one of those things that you're like,

are we living in a simulation? Not favorite, like, wow, I did have a great time, I gotta say. Talking about it, processing it, being like what the fuck just happened i it's great for the oscars generally i'm sorry i i enjoyed i would never want that to happen to me and i'm sad it happened to chris rock but it was it's just funny it's crazy it's too crazy he don't act like it was like the oklahoma city bombing i mean

we're not even gonna to joke about it. He did something with one of the coolest people on the planet. Hosting. And he stole part of that guy's leg. Like, you know, like instead of talking about Chris Rock and just

he stole something from Chris Rock that he Chris can never get back. Yeah, Chris is fine though. He's a he's a multi-multi-millionaire like hugely successful i'm not saying like oh it's okay that it happened but it's not a tragedy i don't think it's more interesting to me it's like it's the equivalent of it was like the last time we had a monoculture moment yes where everyone it was experiencing something at the same exact time

and had like difference of opinions on it and it was just kind of amazing in that way that the whole world was united. I think that's what I liked. I liked the community it brought. Yeah. That's how I feel about it. That's the last time this country was united. We forgot about our political

differences. We've talked about this before because we always talk about these moments in culture but I don't know if we've talked about this before because we like always talk about like these moments in culture but i don't know we've done it on air but like that was so wild that that happened and it was after it was mere years after one of the craziest things to ever happen which is the wrong picture nominee was announced for best picture not just for best sound and editing the best. They could have fucked up any of them. It's crazy.

It's crazy that they brought out two elderly people to do that. Who was it again? It was Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. Oh, God, yeah. And like,

it was just so perfect that it was also La La Land and Moonlight. And we're like, in this like, Black Lives Matter moment. And it's like, the one name you should not read is La La Land and Moonlight. And we're in this Black Lives Matter moment. And it's like, the one name you should not read is La La Land. At this time.

Moonlight needs to win for the world. And Faye Dunaway, shaking, goes on. What happened? Do we know? And she looked at Warren Beatty. And Warren Beatty, they're confused. She grabbed the envelope for Emma Stone winning best actress for La La Land. So she's just reading La La Land.

Well, I don't know. They don't grab it. They give it to you in a locked case. So somebody gave it to them. Yeah, she was handed the wrong one. They hand it to you and they're like, you're not allowed to open this. And they give it to you right before you walk on. Like, I've had to have something.

There's no way she just grabbed it from like a, that's crazy. That was their fault. Yeah. Oh my God. And then, so Moonlight won, correct? Yeah, Moonlight won.

But isn't it interesting? I don't remember because it took away something. It was crazy. It took away from Moonlight. I remember my whole memory of that thing is Jimmy Kimmel walking out

and then the white producer of La La Land being like, Moonlight, you won. He was such a good sport. He was such a good sport. He was. Yeah, I mean, anything can happen. I've been thinking about the Golden Globes and like, what if like something, what if I get slapped? Like, what would I do? Like, what?

I would probably do the same thing chris rock did and just keep reading and you just have to keep moving on and not do the joke where cynthia orivo is the star of gi jane 2 did you just write a great joke oh my god i deleted that from the doc earlier i did that just to get it out i mean that's so bad that's so funny because That's so funny. Because that would be fun. Like, if there were a different vibe, that would be a very funny joke to make. Like, if we all, if it was more fresh in people's minds. And, like, that is so funny.

But, yeah, like, I was just thinking, like, just people, it's live. People can just, someone could have a heart attack in the room. And what do you do then? I saw you respond to a heart attack and i kind of just freeze and go like oh all right where was this this was in cincinnati or something someone had a heart attack or something medical emergency and i just walked off stage for a few minutes yeah i just hang up the mic i'm not gonna like try to no that's the right that's the right way to do it like i'm not gonna try to be funny i'm gonna try to help. Is there any doctors here?

But then get off. There's no part of me making that funny. Exactly. And then while they're working on him or getting him out of there, you can't go back to your act while that's happening. Everyone's like a check spot. You could hum the tune to Stayin' Alive in case they're doing it. Oh, yeah. That would be helpful. That's like a check spot. You could hum the tune to staying alive in case. Oh, yeah. That would be helpful.

That's a hundred BPM. There's so many Taylor. Are we out of the wood? Are we out of the wood? Are we out of the wood? Are we out of the wood? Clear. Yeah.

That's so good. That's one of the lyrics. Can I just say this about Wicked we i've neglected to say or i neglected to say in the last episode talking about wicked either i think the most fucked up thing about wicked is that we're learning about all of these characters and we know that the future is that some woman from kansas kills the girl in the wheelchair by landing on her with a balloon and then goes and kills her sister later on by throwing water on her i had never dawned on me that the way the wicked witch of

the east was the wheelchair lady wicked witch wheelchair ladies it's the sister of the wicked witch of the west and so dorothy comes kills her no way and then kills her sister yeah she kills it's fucking crazy and then the most fucked up thing of all if how are they gonna spin that in the movie that's what that's why i feel like they need a third they need a third installment because right now doesn't basically wicked rewrite history because right now dorothy's a hero glinda is a good a good person and wicked is basically asserting that glinda isn't that good and that it isn't good to kill either of those witches that's right and that's okay i i think it's interesting that

something that we culturally have thought forever is like not what we thought it was i think that's a good statement of like things aren't always what they seem and like there's the i think it's a good lesson yeah to dismantle something that culturally, like, I found that really interesting, but I also didn't grow up with The Wizard of Oz. Like, this is canon. You know, like,

to me, it didn't matter to change it. No, me neither. Like, I mean, I watched The Wizard of Oz,

but I'm also like, yeah, please. Well, and then the most confusing thing of all is at the end of the movie, it turns out that

all of this was just a figment of Dorothy's imagination that she was dreaming, which means this prequel is a prequel to her dream. So it doesn't actually exist. It doesn't exist. None of these things exist.

These are a fever dream. Yes. She got hit with a piece of wood in a tornado. That's right. Okay. But, all right. Boy, that makes it all even more pointless. It's so pointless.

Are they going to make new songs for the second one? Because they hit all the songs, right? There's no songs they left on the table. There's just not any bangers like Defying Gravity. But they'll do refrains to all the songs. You will hear little snippets of those songs. I love when that happens, when a song sounds familiar because you already heard it. And then it'll be like the sad version because things have happened.

And it's like, I want to be a pop star. So is Act 2 a tragedy? No, no. Well, it does descend into pretty sad territory. And then. Because the first one's like so light and airy that I was like so surprised. It's not a tragedy. Although it is a tragedy because the main character dies.

So that is in by definition a tragedy, I think. Yeah. But it's not entirely a tragedy. That's all I'll say. Okay. That's all I'll say. Nikki wrote a whole musical last night. Do you remember that?

It was so funny. I don't remember what it was about. I just came home and everything just seemed like it should be a musical. I was talking like this and I have to go to bed. And I was just like, it's really easy for me to do a musical for her. She wrote a whole musical about the dog. Oh, come on. You're going to be in Chicago

one day. But it's just nice to like do it like, just everything you do just starts to be like this and you can say everything like this and it just sounds better. And then you just like it just you could just they do it throughout the whole movie like the only person that started singing where i was like are they singing or talking was uh professor gonagall uh yeah professor gonagall's

from uh harry potter yeah mcgonagall no the goat guy morrible yeah morrible can't sing very well and neither can jeff goldblum but i like that they put in people who aren't great singers. Did he sing? A little bit, because he has a song in the second. I don't know if it's a song. Is it mean to say they couldn't sing? But, like, come on. No, Michelle Yeoh was labored.

It wasn't, like, horrible to listen to, but it was not Ariana and Cynthia Reeves. No, I mean, maybe that's what it is though like by comparison those two are you've already heard you've already heard two of the best voices that ever existed and then jeff goldblum oh jeff goldblum i really like the last note he hit where i was like what's he gonna do with this note and he did something he of by by he just is interesting he's so jeff he's just jeff goldblum someone goes how was he i go he's jeff gold yeah you can't look away from Jeff

Goldblum. He is like the most dynamic Is Cynthia Erivo like horny for him? Me and the wizard. We're gonna be together. Like she's horny for the wizard. She's like a little girl that has a crush on the wizard, right? A little girl, a 37 year old little girl. Yeah. I mean, I don't want to get into that. Like everyone's too old.

Perhaps she's a crush but I think it's more just that she's been so maligned by society. Perhaps she's a crush, but I think it's more just that she's been so maligned by society and the wizard's her only hope. I think it's an elderly man paying attention to her where her dad is like so shitty to her. Like her dad is like...

But that's why girls get into older men in the first place. Like there is a romance thing. Like you can't deny... As a little girl who would have crushes on like the first man you have a crush on, you're never going to be with Dave Matthews. He's's 18 years older than you but you're like i somewhere we might be together like it was giving that it was giving like she had a horny crush for him not when

she was like seven but like the song the wizard and me are gonna be together forever like it's horny she's definitely hornier for him than f, who seems like they're supposed to be horny for each other. But Fiyero's just horny for the world. Who's Fiyero? Fiyero's the guy. Is that his name? He walks in, this guy, who reminds me so much of your brother, Curran. And I did say before that I really was feeling this, guys.

But I'm just saying, he is just a star. Everyone's horny for him. The animals, the women. I love that the heart job comes on and the men are swooning. It was so cool. Trees get wet as he walks by. Truly. They do a close-up of a sap dribbling down.

Yes, a sap dripping from, yes. I mean, it really was that. He was just so great. But I liked the chemistry between him and Elphaba. I felt like it's all about he only liked her because between him and Elphaba. I felt like it's all about he only liked her because she was not that into him. And she was definitely horny for him because who wouldn't be? Sure.

He's the prince. Yeah, he got her. But then everyone... But he's also like what? He's the prince of what? I don't know! And then Elphaba's dad is the governor of Munchkinland? And they're all at Shiz University? This is the Wizard of Oz.

Shiz rhymes with Wiz. Maybe that's why. Oh, okay. That's actually, you're probably right. I loved looking at Ariana's face. It's beautiful. I loved looking at Elphaba's face and studying what's the... How do they do the makeup?

It's so good yeah they're just both I mean it was just it was just really well done did they green everything that's what I want to know and when they say they're singing live

I'm like I'm sorry she is flying through the air where was the live here like this was all done in post there's there's no way that doesn't make sense for most of the movie

where they go they sang live it does not make sense that they are singing live. And I call bullshit on it. And another thing. Oh, here we go. New segment on the show. Here's another thing.

Wicked is like this triotist on animal rights and how we should fight for the animals and the animals should not be caged and they shouldn't be our slaves. And so I'm like, this is fucking awesome. Like, I love that this message is like so strong throughout the thing. It's kind of unexpected. We talked about it. It feels like it shouldn't even be in it. But I'm like, OK, great. As a vegan, I love this.

I'm like, this is so fucking cool. And I'm like, 100 percent this set was vegan. Like, how could they make a movie about this and not... And there's no fucking way it was. It's not even... I googled Wicked set vegan. There's no even mention of it. There's nothing. PETA, look into this because

I'm sorry. Thanks for the help but also no thanks because unless you're gonna live and promote veganism throughout the movie and live by this thing that you're... I don't think in the world of Wicked they are vegans. I still think they eat meat. It's just that there are certain animals who can talk and those animals

deserve to be... Like it's clear Bach, Ethan Slater, Ariana Grande's boyfriend. Oh, he eats meat. He eats rats. I don't want to talk about him I can't talk about him I don't want to talk about him He broke me

I am so broken because of this I can't I turned to my mom Okay so I knew my mom didn't know the back story Of what was going on behind the scenes of Wicked In case you don't know we're talking about the guy that Ariana is now dating. Ethan Slater. Ethan Slater.

SpongeBob. Who plays Buck and who plays SpongeBob on Broadway, which none of us would have known unless everyone was just trying to trash him so hard. It's not a fact about him that everyone's like, oh, yeah, the guy. We already knew. It was just used as a device. The SpongeBob musical. Can you believe she's dating spongebob

um but i um i i was so excited to have that little nugget in my back pocket to whisper to my mom halfway through and i go and it was in a scene where the prince was with him you know yeah and i go that's who ariana's now dating and my mom goes the prince oh and i go no no no no no no and she goes who like she was like the goat like it is awesome it's such an awesome piece of trivia to have and when he shows up on screen and they have like an interaction i can't believe the whole audience doesn't gasp i love when i find out like i didn't know the timeline of how they met and i know it's none of my business and i shouldn't look into it but i'm gonna like i can't wait to find out like I didn't know the timeline of how they met and I know it's none of my business and I shouldn't look into it but I'm gonna like I can't wait to find out like did they meet

at craft services like did they meet during rehearsals like when did this shoot like when did it all go down Mr. and Mrs. Smith style why is no one talking about it I mean it really is there are modern day Pitt and Jolie and Will none of my business again

And as someone who is now In the celebrity world I'm not allowed to be Commenting on these things But fuck I'm sorry I have an opinion about it And it's none of my business

I know But Will it last Beyond The wickedness of it Is it Is it a Is it a show

Is it a showman Yeah is it a showman I hope not I want it to last forever Oh yeah I hope it makes it to at least part two. It better. We're going to spend a lot of time together.

We've got to take a break. Okay, we're going to go to break. We'll come back after this.

No. So who saw My Old Ass? I saw it. You saw it. Did you see it? No, I haven't seen it. Did you see My Old Ass? I haven't seen it yet. Okay. Did you Ass? I saw it. You saw it. Did you see it? No, I haven't seen it. Did you see My Old Ass? I haven't seen it yet.

Oh, okay. We can't talk about it. Did you cry? Cry during it? Oh, you don't. Then you didn't. Because it's not an option. I mean, I saw it.

Did I cry? Do you cry in movies? I cried during Wicked. You did? I cry all the time. What? And you didn't cry during My Old Ass? It is.

I can't remember a legitimate cry. I might have teared up, but I didn't cry. Okay, so the main girl looks exactly like Gen ZM. Do you agree? Yes, yes. Like identical. Yeah, she acts like her a little bit too. She talks like her and acts like her.

She is so her. And so I told Gen ZM, you got to see this movie. She is so you. And Gen ZM watched it and I said and by the way you're gonna cry like there's just no way that you're not going to. It is a beautiful it reminds me of did you ever see Francis Ha? Yes. So that movie

I was like hysterical. Okay. That really hit me for some reason and this is similar to that coming of age story. It's so good and it really I didn't want to cry because sometimes I have to say, this is such a lame quality about myself, but sometimes I, I don't want to say pride myself on it,

but like I like that I'm not just like a girl who cries at everything. Like sometimes I think like I'm around a lot of girls and they're like, they cried everything. And I'm just like, because I'm not moved by a lot of stuff, I think I have to put my foot down and be like, I'm not, I'm a girl who doesn't, I'm not like the other girls'm not moved by a lot of stuff, I think I have to put my foot down and be like, I'm a girl who doesn't, I'm not like the other girls. I don't cry at things.

So it's like, kind of becomes this part of my identity that I'm like, I'm hearted more than most girls. I have to do a lot of work to get you to cry. You got it now. You did it.

But I do cry every so often but I thought with this movie I was just like, there were a couple. I think Anya told me she cried. And then who else?

Someone was like, oh, it's going to get you so hard. And I was like, nope, I'm not going to be tricked by this. Is it more of a tearjerker than the Amazon janitor commercial? Oh, I haven't seen that. The Amazon janitor commercial storyline was stolen from last season of America's Got Talent, where they had an actual janitor from Indiana who was very good at singing. And the schoolchildren all heard him singing, and they raised money for him to fly to Pasadena so he could audition for America's Got Talent he was amazing you have his album now right I have his album yeah it's called uh sweeping away with Harvey Banks um so wait the Amazon

commercial is like kids like hear a janitor singing and they go. Yeah. Yeah. It's like the people all get together, but it reminded me of the pop star line. What was that? What if a janitor was actually smart? A common misconception that we're pulling apart. What if, uh, what? Oh yeah. There's, that's so good. Pop star is so good.

We've talked about that. I don't like when commercials, um, abuse emotional, uh, reactions from the people are selling things that. I don't like when commercials abuse emotional reactions from the people they're selling things to. I don't want to be influenced emotionally by corporations. Oh, they're doing it all the time. There's so many right now. There's the ones where, like, there's one where the grandfather died, and then they're at, like, a family get-together, and the mom's like, I just wish she was here. And then the grandson is there being talked to by the uncle and then they're like you should go save the uh the grandson to the

other guy this is a really good explanation but the end of that but the end of it is the kid goes i want to be just like my grandfather and then the dad goes you already are and he's choking up and then it's like john dear wait i literally just got a little teary-eyed. Hearing the synopsis! That's so sweet! Okay. I don't think I hate it. Emotional manipulation. Do you hate it because it's John Deere and you just hate the

America's Heartland? Would you like it more if it was for Prime Energy? Brian wants it to be for Cotopaxi. He wants multicolored outdoor equipment. No, I understand not wanting to be for Cotopaxi He wants multi-colored outdoor equipment No, I understand not wanting to be Emotionally manipulated by a corporation For the sake of selling things It doesn't work on me To me, I would

If I didn't get into entertainment I probably would have gotten into I think I saw myself as like A Jon Hamm madman Like a creative person at an ad company And I think that's a really soulless job. So it must be a real home run when you are able to write

a little story with a 30 second commercial that like, fuck this product, but that just grasps the people's attention. Like, I do think that there is

some artistic integrity in it for these people that have like, are truly artists, but like, they didn't just, they didn't. They sold out

for the paycheck. I mean, what's the difference? Yeah, they sold out because they didn't find stand-up for the paycheck. I mean, what's the difference? They sold out because they didn't find stand-up comedy. I want to buy a house at 24. But I would have done that had I not found stand-up. I got lucky that I didn't end up doing that.

Man, they get beaten down. I'm so disgusted. The older I get, the more I'm just disgusted by ads. Disgusted. It's everywhere. There's billboards everywhere. And then I feel like if I listen to too much of an ad on a TV show or something else, I feel like they got me. And so I skip as many ads as I can to be like, they're not getting to me. Yeah.

I can't stand them. Well, they say they've done studies about this. And they say that the best way to not have an ad get you is to pay attention to it and critique it. If you just let it kind of like wash over you, it seeps into your subconscious and then you're influenced without even realizing it. There are some of the worst ads I've ever seen. Have you guys seen these mattress firm ads?

Okay, so mattress firm, I guess, is already being kind of like people are saying it might be a front. Can I just say that the whole mattress industry is like, it's got, they should do a John Oliver thing on it. It has got to be like the most corrupt industry in the world. They did. They're just making up numbers on mattresses. They did an episode of Adam Ruins Everything

called Adam Ruins Sleep. And guess who wrote it? You. That's right, me. You. Yeah, I wrote it. You ruined everything i ruined the mattress yeah so that episode exists well good we should all watch it because it is i was buying

mattresses in new york like 15 years ago and i'm like what is going on here everybody's giving you a different answer for the same product you you go back and then there's it's so shady something is going on yeah it's well they they've said that these mattress firm places are just fronts because no one's ever in them they're always having huge sales they're always that they're just money money laundering for who knows well it's because they don't need to sell that many mattresses to stay in business it really is like a billboard like each building that's why there's so many of them they're always well in the m&m store in times square exactly it's like a billboard like each building that's why there's so many of them they're always well-lit store in times square exactly it's like a bill but you only really have to sell like one or two mattresses a month to pay the rent can i just talk about these commercials because they're

so heinous yes i wrote it down on my phone to be like i need to talk to me i love this i love believe there needs to be a show or podcast that just reviews commercials the person that created these commercials commercials needs to be out of the business and kicked out forever. And everyone involved, I am putting you out there. I think you should be doxxed. I think your family should be doxxed.

Oh my God. You need to find these people. No, I think this is truly the... I would love an investigative podcast of how these commercials came to be. And this was what leads me to believe it's a front because they actively look like they're trying to get people to not buy a mattress so the whole thing is it's it's how do

you sleep at night so they'll have someone someone behaving just disgustingly and then someone will look at them and go yes how do you sleep at night like it'll be like um a guy with his fingers in the guacamole at a party and he's just licking it off and then some guy looks at him goes oh my god what are you doing and he goes how do you sleep at night and the guy's licking it off his fingers. And then some guy looks at him and goes, oh my God, what are you doing? And he goes, how do you sleep at night? And the guy's licking guacamole and he goes, I sleep and it's all night long. And then it cuts to all night long and then it's that

guacamole guy on a mattress for a mattress. Why would you ever want to associate your brand with a guy who licks his fingers after eating them? And then there's another one where a woman is yelling at her kid for being weak on playing peewee football

or something. She's like, you're weak! You suck! And a woman next to her on the bleachers is like, how do you sleep at night? And she was like,

well, I sleep all night. And it shows that woman on her mattress at home in the same clothes she's wearing. And it's like, why would that pitch ever work in any way?

Ever? We are living in a time where it pays to be a villain. Yes, that's what makes me think people, these people are celebrated. You want to be like that person that just does what they want. Well, the commercial works

because we're talking about it on this podcast. Now, that's the whole point of the commercial. I guess so, but- It got a rise in you. Why wouldn't you do the flip side? Why wouldn't you have that person like- Because you wouldn't talk about it. Because good people don't sleep well. That's like some meme going around that like democratic

women who are democrats like don't sleep well and republican women sleep just fine it's like yeah or like they have more depression or something it's like uh-huh i mean no one's denying that like for the last like three months i'm just waking up at 3 a.m. for no reason. Yes. That's why it's better to be a Republican. At some point, you can just go, you know what? I'm just going to be a Republican. Yes.

And I'll be happy. I'll finally be happy. Let the current take you out to sea. Yes. It feels, yeah, I think about it all the time. Yeah, just switch over and forget about all this bullshit and just get money. Yeah. What am I going to do?

Have money. Get that money. Like, I don't need to be cool at 50. No. Just give it up. What am I going to be, 65 years old, responding to people's tweets? I mean, it's just like, just accept the fact that the world is shit. It's corrupt.

And the only people that are happy are people with money. It's, I mean, yeah. I have accepted it. I don't listen to any news anymore. My mom is constantly like, she showed up the other night at Forrest's birthday. And she showed up. And we're all festive. And my mom just walks in.

She goes, oh, God, did you hear? I'm just like, what? What now? What is going on? And she's like, oh, your dad made me listen to the news on the way here. This fucking Trump. And I'm like, wait, we are three weeks out. Give up.

I've let go. You're still hearing about him? I don't hear about him at all. Yeah. I'm off of Twitter. I'm like, I'm. You're blue sky in it. Yeah, I'm on blue sky.

Oh, yeah. You made your post. I switched over to blue sky. I love it. But also, I'm just blissfully ignorant because there's no search function. So I don't see news. Yes. I just follow comedy accounts and I'm just like not laughing because no one's funny. But like at least I'm seeing attempts.

Yes. Yes. Just I'm just tapped out. I'm out. I've given up in a different way. I just am not paying attention anymore at all. It is. It's important not to pay attention

Because it really is all the sensationalist Bullshit for example Hunter Biden was just pardoned by Joe Biden which is like No big deal Pardon your son and also like They would do it a thousand times over For like way worse

Things Trump is a convicted felon and they voted for him. So the fact that you'd get mad at pardoning your son. It's non-news. Yeah. They're so mad that Hunter Biden is maybe the coolest guy to ever live. He's so rad. He is pretty rad.

Honestly, that is the one benefit of being like a Democrat in your 50s. You're Hunter Biden cool. You're smoking crack with a different anora every night he's so fucking rad so you don't need to be privy to like the sensationalist bullshit where every because it's all horse shit trying to get you to click so you they're gonna have to make up more and more shit to be angry about because they're all in charge so they're gonna have to just pull shit out of nowhere and it's just gonna be a waste of everyone's time it's just it needs to just go back to no one paying attention and that's how we'll save this country fun it was so fun the obama years where i just kind of really didn't know anything that was going on. Except for being like, oh, cool, Interpol released a new album.

Better times. Are you guys, are we, is everybody watching English Teacher? Have we talked about that yet? I don't know if I, well. You've talked about it. I've talked about it. On the podcast. Yeah, besties actually have written to me and been like, yeah, it's a home run.

I want to get back to the English teacher world. I think we're five or six episodes in and there's eight episodes total. And I'm going through my second run in three weeks. I love it. I would watch it all over again. What is the English teacher world? It is

like Abbott Elementary and Always Sunny and 30 Rock, no? Yeah, you know, Abbott Elementary and Always Sunny, it feels like there's like, you know, they're kind of have, they have dirtbag characters, but set in like the world of being like, we're trying to like, you know, like push up the mod. Help kids.

Yeah, help kids. And the main character really does care about teaching and wants to be a good person. But he also is like a gay narcissist. Yeah, it's so funny. It's such a great show. Sean Patton's incredible on it. He's unbelievable.

And that girl, I forget her name, Stephanie Koenig. I love her. Obsessed with her. Chris would be like looking at his phone I go

We have to go back You have to see her face In the shot And he goes It's that good And I go It's that good And you

You like You loved it They're walking The perfect balance Between subtle And sensational Yeah Every single character

Yes Yes Yes And the main guy Is He's extraordinary You'll have so much fun Watching it Brian

It like Renews your faith In TV I mean I love all FX shows pretty much. And I'm excited to watch it. It's great. It's pretty wild that like the show is so grounded, but also can be broad enough to include somebody like Carmen Christopher,

who is playing a guidance counselor. Oh, that guy's so funny. Insane. Like I'm a huge Carmen Christopher fan. Like every one of his short films are just complete bangers. But to see him in a TV show is exhilarating. I didn't know anything about him before. He was in The Bear.

He's friends with the bigger man. And he does not fit in on that show at all. No. But he fits in so well on it. He's perfect. He's perfect on this one it's so much fun fx is like the only place doing anything of note it's just it's just crazy and television they're the only ones doing development and they're only ones that are taking risks and making shows that

are like worth watching like everything that they make is worth watching even if it's not that good it's like it's like it's like art yeah like they're still making art it's like even hbo kind of fell off a little bit because they got sucked up into like the game of thrones world where like they need to have well yeah zazloff zazloff hates big daddy's ass yeah big daddy's ass people are calling them that but you just said that you saw james acaster's uh special on hbo yes and that's what everyone needs to watch now because i'm gonna watch it it's incredible like i love him i just find him- Obsessed. Every special of his is just so unique.

I really love the British style of stand-up where it's not stand-up at all. No. Yeah. I like when they just do something totally different, but he is so absurd. Hold on. When it's good, it's great. And when it's bad, it's the worst. It's bad net.

What is it? Bad net uh nanette no when it's isn't she a new zealand she's new zealand yeah yeah uk australia and new zealand it's all the same thing they run the risk of falling into this it's important that you say that after i love it i love it it's important i bow down to it but james acaster i can't wait to watch it it's called heckler's welcome and he like invites people to heckle him during the entire show yes he gives four rules at the beginning of the show of what the audience is allowed to do and it's just it's so great it's like really about all the things he learned in therapy and like why he does stand up even though he now hates it. He hates it.

And he's like, I hate doing this. I hate performing. I hate you guys. Yes. He was talking about it on some show where they were like, you hate it? He's like, yes. And you hate doing this too. Like he called, I think he called out the host for being like, and we, you probably hate this too.

Everything's a job. all sucks yeah um but i i'm fascinated to uh see it because he is he's truly an original and doing something so different and every clip of i just think he's so vulnerable yeah like i first saw him on um the great british bake off and i don't even watch it so it's just a clip of him doing a celebrity one where he completely fucks up the cake that he's making and it's really funny. He makes like an ocean scene and so he's like,

taste the icing. You taste anything in that? And they're like, I don't know. And he's like, salt. He makes the icing salt because it's the ocean

and it's like, but he bombs so hard on it but he's like really swept up in it and just, he just seems like he's being real. He has that perfect summary where like they ask him what happened and he's like, I tried to it. He just seems like he's being real. He has that perfect summary where like they ask him what happened and he's like,

I tried to bake a cake, had a breakdown, here it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, if you get at the heart of it, it's like he's just being himself and it's really refreshing.

There's like no artifice there. I don't think, I mean, sure there is in some way but he doesn't seem to, trying to be anyone but himself. No. It's refreshing. It's incredible. And I've just never watched a special where

he uses more therapy speak, where he tells this story of him being humiliated in front of all of his classmates when he's five. Oh, five. And he's like, and now I realize why I perform is because of this. My therapist said that. So when you are not laughing at me,

you're also left, not laughing at the five-year-old who's on stage with me that I'm protecting. And that is so therapy. That is like, I was talking to Anya today. Cause Anya did a call with the wall street journal. They're doing a piece on me and they needed someone who's like been with

me from, for a really long time and witnessed like the rise or whatever. And then Anya was texting me before to be like to just gain some insight can we do that after the break yeah we'll go into it right after this break john stewart is back in the host chair at the daily show which means he's also back in our ears on The Daily Show Ears Edition podcast.

They said, I hope to speak with a friend of Nikki's, someone close to her, who can talk about this moment in her career, how she's approaching the fame and pressure. Is anyone available for a 10 minute call? And I said, Ani, are you free? She said, yes.

And she goes, anything you'd want me to say or not say? I said, no, you can say whatever. She said, OK. I said, tell them I'm depressed all the time. Me, no care. And because she's witnessed a lot of that. And I'm like, yeah, tell them like the bat. I don't know. People will read it, but only people that like already love me and can accept it and i she said lol it's def not a

cakewalk but you're a midwestern workhorse so it's in your blood and i said what is sorry i don't understand she said being a workhorse i said yeah i don't know my parents both are hard workers but they don't feel like they'll die if they stop working which is how i feel and she said where do you get that from i said i'm a three and i said if i don't accomplish something great if i'm not extraordinary i have zero value also i'm addicted to dopamine she said right but enneagrams are from family systems slash dynamics so it's partially your role in your family i said i don't know about that i have to earn lots of money and fame to protect them maybe i don't see it as i need to be like the comic relief like i

don't relate to comedians that are like my mom was depressed so I had to be the one that make her laugh like yeah that wasn't that's not me what was that that was me growing up and now I'm the exact opposite where really make her cry I mean kind of yeah yeah well you're not worried about your mom's happiness at all anymore but growing up that was like yeah really a lot really my first performing was like trying to get her to like, you know, stopping sad. Yeah. And I noticed Nolan doing it like with Aaron, like where he's like, like doing like bits and stuff. It's like, hey, read the room, buddy. I'm like, that's my thing.

It's true. It's such a thing that like kids learn How to do Like they can manage What's going on And like if I make Mommy happy If I tell her She looks beautiful If I sweet talk

Like when they start To do Like I think my friend's Kid recently started Like picking up On some kind of like Weirdness that was happening And like overcompensating

And they were like Is that bad I'm like I think so But also They're gonna be who They're gonna be There's gonna be something There's always gonna be something It's not gonna be something something else mommy daddy can't be

happy all the time no and it's adorable and even if you are happy all the time that might cause the thing yeah and she said dangerous was your first word and that reminded me that it was because i was really scared child but she was trying to like get at it um and i i said yeah it wasn't about that it was about it definitely was about wanting their attention. Like they watch TV. They love TV. But it wasn't about getting their attention as much as like they represent the world to me. So I'm like, oh, to be important in the world, mom and dad watch TV.

So they're the world. So everyone must love watching TV. But I come to find, and we came to find out when I did start getting kind of like notoriety and being on things. My parents are miffed when people don't care like absolutely can't handle it when people don't when they tell them that their daughter is going to be on tv did you know that i said it to my tennis group none of them watched you on the tonight show last night none of them because they couldn't stay up they like they couldn't believe it so they they sold a thing that they also believe they think the whole world cares about this and i have learned from being in this job that people don't

care about it as much as you think there are some people that really care about hollywood and tv but most people don't i would but if you're like if you're a tennis group and like you go my daughter's on the tonight show tonight you wouldn't be at least curious yeah i think those people are just pretending to not care. No, no. This is like this weird thing. It's a mixture of both.

It's curiosity. No, it's jealousy. And so they don't because they're so jealous. Yeah. And they can't admit it. I'm constantly thinking about this because like truly to me,

Hollywood is everything. Everything. And like. Yeah. Or that's what I used to think. Yeah, no. I still kind of believe this. Sure.

Where I'm like, why wouldn't you care about this? Because it's like the thing I've dedicated my entire life to. It's so used to think. Yeah, no, I still kind of believe this. Sure. Where I'm like, why wouldn't you care about this? Because it's like the thing I've dedicated my entire life to, it's so foreign to me. And then I think about like all the people who are just like truly happy. And like, I'm like, I don't understand that. Like, that doesn't feel real to me. And like, so I'm like, I guess that's the same thing. But like, but that's just me talking in therapy about how like, I'm like, why wouldn't someone care or think it's the most interesting thing in the entire world that I have opinions to say and people listen to me?

It's so cool. It boggled my mind when people wouldn't care about – because I would have cared so much about someone I knew being on TV or having a TV show taping in their town or like even my parents and my loved ones like not wanting to be on my reality show. Even at that late of an age, like five years ago, four years ago when I was pitching it, it didn't even occur to me that no one in my life would not want to be on a TV show, a reality show. Why wouldn't you? You're on TV, which is such a naive thing because most people do not want that kind

of intrusiveness in their life at all. But I'm not. It didn't. It wasn't like I was dying for it. It was just like, wouldn't you want birthday cake? It was like, who would turn down? I would turn it down. We were talking about this on the road. But some people don't want birthday cake.

We both were like, I tried to turn it down. Yeah, you did. But that was a reason that I really knew I loved you, because you didn't want to do this thing, but you knew it was important to me in our relationship. And so you did this thing you really didn't want to do. Didn't want to do this thing, but you knew it was important to me in our relationship. And so you did this thing you really didn't want to do. Didn't want to do it. And you did okay.

And look at us now. Yeah, you did it. And then I didn't watch it. Yeah, we both didn't watch it. Well, it's impossible to watch yourself as discussed. It's horrible. In reality, we're getting all the angles too. I mean, but we were talking about this on the road

where we were like both, we wanted to be on the real world, like at young ages. And it's like, that was like so informative because none of my friends wanted that. Some people just watch TV and don't want to be on it.

When I was a kid, I thought, I secretly thought everyone wanted to be an actress and be famous. It's what, it was like, there was a kid from my school who was on Broadway

and sounded music. And like, I was, all went as on a class trip and the entire way home on the bus i was just shit talking him because i was so jealous okay remember the movie election yeah with remember the girl that plays like the dork in the movie that is Chris Klein's sister? She was at, she went to Webster Groves, which are our other high school. Like it was Kirkwood and Webster. And she was this girl that was picked out of obscurity to be in this picture. I couldn't have been more jealous of anyone in my life. And no one seemed to be bothered by it.

And I was like, this is absurd. Like, I just, I remember when I, when I was young and was like, you know, in high school and I've told this before, but I was like, you know, in love with Dave Matthews. And I told all my friends, like, I'm going to, you know, meet him someday. And so I'll just, I'm sure like he'll fall in love with me. And they're like, no, you won't. Ew, why would you ever meet him? I'm like, because I'm going to be famous.

They're like, what? Like, I was so offended that they didn't think it could happen. And also, why wouldn't you want to be famous? Like, you want to be a dentist? Like, a famous dentist? Like, a dentist who gets on TV somehow and there's a show about him? But I think that's the culture we live in now

where anyone can be famous for doing anything. I didn't have this with, like, Hollywood and being in shows or anything like that, but for sports, I would, like, I'd be at a game and be like, God, I'd kill to be out there. Oh, I mean. I would love to be out on that field right now. When I would be shooting by myself, I would always be playing these scenarios where I

play for the University of North Carolina, and I was up against Duke, and I had like three seconds to hit a shot in my driveway. And I was like, this. So I've always, no matter what, I've always put myself at the top of something. Yes. Like, here I am, the point guard for the university. Like, never realistic. Not like, oh, I'm off the bench at Wagner University.

Yeah, is it so sad when you realize you're not going to be that? Because I honestly... No, there's never... You haven't let it go? What do you mean? You still dreaming? Yes. Yes, yeah, I'm still dreaming, but not in a...

But you know you're never going to be an idiot. There's always pickleball. Yeah, like a... Senior PGA? Yeah, could you see your PGA? I was thinking about this, honestly, last week. I'm like, you know, if I just like golf every single day i could probably get on the senior pga you probably could i've done i've done math like that on things yeah at

different stages of my life i'm like i'm 26 i could probably practice kicking and punting and i bet you i bet you i can if i dedicate my life to it in a few years i could be good enough to like go play in Canada. And then you went back to sleep for six hours. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I watched a fifth wheel marathon. Fifth wheel. Elimitate.

Elimitate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, my name's Jessica, and I'm here to knock it out of the park. Oh, my God. Elimitate was so fun. We need a final thought. Oh, okay. Final thought.

Do you have one? Yeah. No, I don't. So I just announced that we needed a final thought because that's what we were being told. My night is so long ahead of us. I don't even want to leave here. I have to go get a spray tan right after this. Maybe shove down a salad that we got earlier because I'm at a time to eat.

Oh, we're not doing a dinner? The group here isn't doing a dinner? Oh, no. I'm getting a spray tan while we talk about Golden Globe stuff and have our meeting. All of us? Yeah. Oh, good. So we'll all be together.

Yes, we'll all be together. We'll go to our new apartment that we just moved into. Okay, great. Did you guys move into a new apartment? Yeah. Well, it's like a temporary living space. It's nice, though. I'm excited for it.

Yeah, I like it. I think we're going to have fun. I've lived there before. Where is it? It's the one that I lived to before. Oh, yes, yes, yes. For the roast, when we were working on the roast. I don't know what you're talking about.

We can't dox. It could be anywhere. We can't dox. Yeah, we can't dox me like the makers of the commercials that I want to be taken down. Pico Robertson. Final thought, listen to Fat Benji podcast. So many podcasts are taped here.

You'll start seeing it everywhere. No, I've seen it a bunch. What do you have coming up this week? So freaking much. Tomorrow I have a- Look at her day. Wall Street Journal photo shoot that's for starts at 8 a.m.

That's tonight or tomorrow night that's tomorrow and then the next day 5 a.m hair and makeup i am hosting the hollywood reporter event for like the hundred women in hollywood they're honoring like nicole kidman and jennifer lawrence and selena gomez and i'm gonna do 5 a.m oh this is like well it starts at 8. i caramba i have to do a prom.m. makeup? Post a brunch. Oh, this is at like 12? It starts at 8. Ay caramba.

And then I have a photo shoot for four hours just to get new promo photos for tour. And then I have maybe Pilates at 6 p.m., but that's not looking likely.

And then I have three sets that night, and we'll probably meet about the thing. And then Thursday, a film crew is following me around all day to do a bunch of stuff. And you have an appointment with Dr. Ross. I see that here. And then I have two sets that night. You're my boy. And then Friday, I am introducing Paris Hilton at the Jingle Ball. So everyone tune into that.

Whoa, what's that? Well, I don't know. Not what's that. Where is that? What's going on? I think it's, no, it's in Inglewood. So Intuit Dome.

Oh, Intuit Dome. Intuit Dome. Really? I'm into it. That place is cutting edge. Really? It's cutting edge. They have facial recognition

everywhere. Getting into there is a little dicey still. Not for me. Yeah, not for you. I'm going to be driven in to the bowels. But I get to introduce Paris Hilton, and I hope she's singing my new favorite song, ADHD.

Oh. It's her new pop song. But it's a jingle. So I think maybe it's going to be like a holiday-themed kind of thing. So I don't know. She should just do Stars Are Blind. I mean, that song is a fucking banger. And I also have a fitting that day for what about this weekend and then this weekend

would go to new then I'm going to fly into Vancouver on Saturday and I'm going to do some sets in Vancouver possibly to try to work on the Golden Globe set and then Sunday I'm seeing the last era store is in Vancouver where it is yeah the last day that's why you're going to Vancouver you're just gonna pop. You're just going to pop into sets in Vancouver because you're there before. Yeah, because I'm there the night before because I don't want to risk not making it there because there's no direct. So then on Sunday I'm seeing the very last Airstore

my 22nd show. And I'll put that part of my life to sleep as she will that night too. Oh. I can't keep going to Airstores. No, at some point it's got to end you know that's what if my old ass taught us anything is that things have to come to an end at some point yep and that's why that would be a good ending oh wait i wanted to play this is emily reacting

to my old ass because she's like don't even pretend i'm not still here she's like in the next room i had no idea so she texted me she's like don't even pretend oh and she sent me the text from it too you're so thorough she goes oh my god i'm watching my old ass and this girl looks oh i said this and this girl looks exactly like you she said stop haha i mean slay maisie stella except i would not wear most of those clothes i said yes okay iconic i'll take this as a compliment proudly thank you i said you should she's gorgeous never seen her before um you've never seen nashville and i said and she has a similar said you should she's gorgeous never seen her before um you've never seen nashville and i said and she has a similar vibe and how she's how she talks and she goes please bye catch me in a gown every day now this is if this is the energy i give and she sent

a picture of maisie stella but she looks so cute this is a good look for you emily and i go i go no like how she talks also this is a legit cool look okay cool Emily. And I go, no, like how she talks. Also, this is a legit cool look. Okay, cool. I stood by it. She said, well, why the fuck can't I sing like her then? Why did I not get that talent? And by the way, I heard you singing on the way in here because we were singing Birds of a Feather, Emily.

And you fucking, you can sing and I know you can. You're hiding a secret good voice. Sneaky good voice. A fish song? No, Birds of a Feather. The Billie Eilish song. We were both singing it together and then on the way in she like did a verse you can't you know when you catch someone being a

good singer and you're like oh you have a secret little talent fuck you you've been listening to me like sing all the time and you know and um so anyway this is her uh after she watched it okay so i just finished the movie this is everyone watching this and i had to document this because i was like wait we're just talking about the card and i couldn't remember if you were asleep or not about like if we get upset by like movies or songs like if you could like be emotional from them and i literally i think it's because you told me i look like her so i then was like more empathetic. Spoiler alert.

Yeah. But that was funny because she was watching it and she does look exactly like her. So she was like, that's me. Like, so it made her cry more. But I was really trying so hard in that movie to be like, it's not going to get me. And we're at the end of it. And I'm texting Anya being like, nope, sorry. Because there's emotional things. I'm like, it could have gotten me.

But then, man, it hit me so fucking hard. Sobbing. And I was with my dad and my mom it's very embarrassing it wasn't like we were in a dark theater and I could just pretend I had allergies like I would and we were all just messes and it's about family and like death and like people getting older like so it was just like very resonant

and like just I would just suggest watching it alone or with people you're comfortable crying with or watch it like Brian and don't cry at all. Yeah. I was, I was still, I was angry actually. When the big reveal happened,

I was, I was, I was curious. No, you know, no. And you know why in, in the movie's defense,

we dipped, we dipped in and out. Okay. Yeah. You got to stay with it. Yeah. I went in and out. I dipped in.

You'll like it. Yeah. But I do, I can see how it. Yeah, I went in and out. I dipped in. You'll like it. But I do, I can see how it would make people cry. I think maybe if I was in a theater, I would cry. And I didn't not cry. I was like teared up.

Sean, I can't wait for you to see it. Yeah, I will watch it this week. Because you'll love it. It's just like, it's such a movie you'll like. I mean, the fact that there's a twist that makes everyone cry and lets me know

there was a movie called Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl where I watched it on a plane and I also was drunk movie called Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl where I watched it on a plane and I also was drunk and I just started sobbing on the plane. Me, Earl,

and the Dying Girl. Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl. Oh, good one. The plane movie cry is so good. And I was like crying and to the point

where I was like talking to this person and I'd be like, why would they do that? What if we watched on a plane and didn't like, oh, I'm not going to say

because it's like in most people that they want to work with. Yeah, I'm not going to say it because it's like in the world of people that we want to work with. Yeah, I'll say it. It's time to go. Okay, we got to go. Thank you guys for listening to the show. I love you.
