Here's Nikki.
Hello, here I am.
Welcome to the show.
It's the Nikki Glaser Podcast.
I'm in Los Angeles.
Joined with me here, of course, is Brian Frangie.
Hello.
Hello.
Sean O'Connor.
Hi.
And Andrew Collin.
What's up?
What's up?
Remember that?
Yeah.
I don't remember that, actually.
Really?
Oh my God.
No, yes you do.
Where the hell were you?
What's up?
What is that?
Is that from like an airline?
Yeah, it's, well.
I had a bit for a while that i whatever the um the song
save tonight fight the break of dawn whenever that would be playing and like at a restaurant or you
know the bar or whatever i just go like what is this song this is great and just just see what
people do around you when you claim to have never heard that song it wouldn't work as well now
because i'm sure gen zm like hasn't heard that song before I love doing stuff like that. It wouldn't work as well now because I'm sure Gen ZM hasn't heard that song before.
Yeah, nobody has heard of Eagle Eye Cherry.
Eight years ago, that song, there's no one that existed in the adult world that wouldn't
have recognized that song.
But it's so funny.
There is something in your knowledge that hasn't gotten to you that you just coincidentally
have missed every single time.
Yeah.
And someone eventually will go, you've never heard of that?
And it's like, yeah, because it wasn't my fault.
It's not like I'm like trying not to.
I just, it didn't get to me.
Like I didn't know what a CPA was until I was 24.
A CPA?
Yeah.
I had no idea.
It never, it just never got to me.
There's no reason for you to need to know what a CPA is.
You would have, I would have loved for you to be there when people found out that I had
not known what a CPA was.
That's the machine you put on your face when you're sleeping.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The CPAP machine.
Yeah, CPAP.
I remember I have
like a pivotal growth moment
for me was when I was,
I interned at UCB Chelsea
in like 2004 or 5 or something.
And I was,
the interns there
just get treated like shit.
You know,
they make you literally clean
like bloody tampons
out of the toilets.
Oh my God.
And in return, you get a discount on classes.
It's unbelievable.
Oh, God.
And improvisers always have a really heavy flow.
But I remember I was sitting in the box office, and I said something like...
Scientology.
I've never seen some ridiculous movie, like Back to the Future.
And they ridiculed me for the rest of the summer for not having seen
yeah that's like i'm like 10 years younger than everybody in here yeah that's the that's the i
have a joke about it's like that's what old people do to young people to make ourselves feel better
about the fact that we're not young as we just make them feel bad about things they weren't alive
to experience like yeah there's a million movies that gen ZM hasn't seen that I'm like, I want to go, you haven't seen Clueless.
You haven't seen, what was it? Shawshank Redemption.
I don't even know if that was one of them.
But there was one recently where I was like, you have to see it.
And she was like, okay, just add it to the list.
And I'm like, no, no, this one came out three years ago.
This one, like, I can't recommend.
But the others, I'm like, no, I haven't seen Raiders of the Lost Ark.
I haven't seen Back to the Future.
I haven't seen Star Wars. I haven't seen Raiders of the Lost Ark. I haven't seen Back to the Future. I haven't seen Star Wars.
I haven't seen Empire Strikes Back.
But I'm entitled to because I was too young.
Yeah.
And they look blurry and old and shitty now.
And it doesn't aesthetically, it's not pleasing to look at.
Like, I'm sorry, but black and white things aren't.
That's why you make your phone grayscale when you want to look at it less.
Because it's not visually interesting that's why like like when you used to do cameos in our apartment you wouldn't
turn on a light it would be like blurry and i'd be like you gotta like make it look nice so people
like looking at it no i'm punk rock people pay extra for that it's the grittiness i respected
the grit i expected you gotta go full grit You can't go half grit Yeah no
You don't have to be too glossy
No that's like when you put on makeup as a girl
You're like
You're getting ready
You're like I should put on mascara
And then you're like
Well if I'm doing mascara
I should do an eyeliner
If I'm doing eyeliner
I should probably do a lip liner
And then you just are
Full like drag queen makeup eventually
Because it's either all or nothing
Yeah
But I do kind of love that
Current art being made Like TV and I do kind of love that current art being made,
like TV and movies,
all kind of look so shitty now.
Like everything is just like,
it's like you're in the room with them
where that's what they want you to feel.
And it used to be like, come on.
It's like a play happening in front of your eyes.
Yeah, I like when things look real.
Yeah, you want it to all be reality TV.
Sean, have you watched anything on Netflix in the last five years?
They're all like perfectly shot.
They're not.
It looks.
Unless it's Amelia Perez.
It looks so fake.
Well, I feel like everything on Netflix has this particular aesthetic where it's meant to look perfect.
Yeah, it looks, but it's like cheap.
They're just using like the best camera they could
possibly do. But like, if you
I don't want to be like, I'm the 70s
movie guy, but like
when you like watch that, it's like everything
is like a real house and like
there's like so much care
put into everything that's in the
background. Anytime I see a clip of
Jamie Lee Curtis looking young, she's in
a real house or Cher. I don't watch old movies, but whenever I see a clip of one, it looking young, she's in a real house. Or Cher.
I don't watch old movies, but whenever I see a clip of one, it's on a real set.
It's not perfectly aesthetically everything's curated.
Things should look sloppy.
Even sloppiness now looks too manufactured.
It's great that you mentioned Jamie Lee Curtis.
If you see an old clip of her, her hair looks, no offense to Jamie Lee Curtis,
it looks like shit.
Yeah.
It looks like there was
no care put into it.
But it also gives like,
oh my God,
that's like a real teenager
who's going to be murdered
and I care more.
Yeah, yeah.
I want things to look more real.
Spielbergian.
Yeah.
I want to, I want to, I want to.
Does it cost more though
to make it look less real?
Like using film as opposed to digital, it takes more time.
Film costs so much money, and then, like, on top of that, it's, like, gonna, it disintegrates over time.
So, like, there's no reason to do that when you can just put everything on a computer.
It is so interesting that things, like, there's no way, unless you, like, digitally enhance them and have people spend hours like
getting them back to looking good like there are things that are shot that will never look the way
they looked when they aired no and you just think no it's on tv it's of course it will but no it's
it's literally gotten old like everything else does everything goes oh yeah i mean people spend
i mean wonder brother spends millions of dollars, every three years to make Friends look good still.
Oh, yeah.
You're so right.
Because, like, if you watch, like, Seinfeld on Netflix, it still kind of looks like the 90s.
But, like, Friends, they've enhanced, like, the colors pop.
Like, they're spending so much money to make this.
And this has been going on for, I think, over a decade or more, but, like, reruns of Friends.
Everyone talks like this.
Everyone sounds like they're on helium because they're speeding it up so they can fit in more commercials.
So literally, Monica sounds like this.
And Chandler, it's all sped up by 0.2, I would say.
Oh, yeah.
1.2.
You're right.
It is.
To fit in one more commercial.
It's one more $250,000 ad they can sell.
Yeah, that's art.
We're just a commodity used to sell toilet paper.
And I'll tell you, I love speeding things up.
I was watching Conclave over the weekend, which I love, but I would have loved to speed that up.
I get it.
I can just insert here this, just in your head, Isabella Rosalina took longer to walk down this hall.
Just remember that it was intended to be longer.
I miss that.
Like things used to be quick and like move.
And now everyone,
like,
I don't know what happened like in the last 10 years,
but everyone wants like to see people like parking.
Then getting out of the car.
I like that.
I like the slow.
You like,
I like hearing like the, like going like beep, beep, like the slow. You like hearing the
beep, beep, like the doors
open.
Will it open?
So many latches
being...
Like Boardwalk Empire or something?
I want to see four people sitting at a table
talking real fast.
I want the speed of a veep.
I want the speed of a Sorkin speed.
That's what I want. One theory a Veep. I want the speed of a Sorkin speed. Yeah.
That's what I want.
One theory is that they need to justify people going to the movie theaters by making the movies longer so it's like an event.
Right, where you can just really tap out of your life.
That's another reason why comedies have gone extinct.
Yeah.
Because are you really going to drive to the movie theater and park and buy a ticket for a 70-minute, 80-minute movie?
Right.
I'm so touched when a movie is 90 minutes.
It's like, you respect my time.
I don't get it.
Like, why are we trying to keep everything else so efficient in our lives,
but movies are getting so much longer?
It's a really weird paradox, I feel like.
Everything's like self-checkout.
Like, everything's like go, go, go, and especially the American way.
It's just like everything is catering to that except movies.
I think there's a well, no, not YouTube is also being like this.
The most popular videos on YouTube are like four hours long.
Yes, where they're like, here's the history of Fastpass at Disney.
And it's like eight hours long and it has like 70 million views.
I think this is a response to places like TikTok shortening everything.
People crave just like sitting down
with something for a long time and they don't want to read a book yeah reading books is like so out
people don't read anymore i'm it's really hard for me to do it i keep trying to do it it's tough
what do you think about when chris has youtube tv and i don't watch tv but i'll see when he has
sports on like it'll come on sometimes and it'll be like here's a moment of zen and it'll just give
you like some like you know just like grass waving in the wind for about 20 seconds why would they do
that there has to be a monetary gain from that because they don't care about us having a second
to meditate why would a it's ad it's ad that they didn't fill there's no way they can't fill it with
some bullshit like why not sell make an ad sell an ad, sell an ad for $20 instead of that? Like, why put that there?
I think what happens is
the ads that they are running
are, like, through Fox.
Oh.
Or, like, NBC.
And people, like,
local ads will play there
and YouTube won't do,
like, the local, like,
YouTube, which uses Google's,
this is right in Allie's wheelhouse.
This is what she does for a living.
Your wife, yes.
Yeah, she points out stuff like that all the time,
and she's like, why didn't they fill that?
Or then explains like the...
There's just no way they're doing it out of the kindness.
No, no.
Like, you need a ton of relax.
It could be a trick to keep you watching.
Like, oh, you took a break.
No.
Like, we gave you a break.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Like, if they've done studies that it maybe keeps people watching because they're like,
YouTube cares about me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like they're like, no, that's not it.
They're petting you.
I mean, honestly, I feel like Google's cynical enough to think that.
Like going like, we could trick people into thinking that we're a good company.
Yeah, I mean, they definitely have studied us.
If they could study us and learn that if we like them more, if we feel like they care
about us, which we do.
Like we all want companies to care about us.
None of them do. But they wouldn't spend that much money. Especially if we feel like they care about us, which we do, like we all want companies to care about us. None of them do.
It's like when they wouldn't spend that much money, especially if it's like Sunday ticket.
But if it benefited them, if it kept people watching more than filling it with ads to
generate a sense of trust.
It's like a palate cleanser.
I like that as a theory, but I guarantee you it's due to some contractual.
We can't play an ad here because we're running the Fox ads and maybe in three, we'll be able to do it after the contract expires and we rewrite it.
But there's no, they would just, no one's doing anything out of kindness.
No, no, no.
Anything that, well, at least corporations.
I mean, your mother might do something out of kindness.
Barely that.
I got into a fight with her this weekend.
We got into a huge fight.
We were in Vancouver for ERA's tour
And mom if you're listening
I'm really sorry
Because I should have just left it
But like a thing that irks me
That I think everyone does
Is like she was commenting
On how beautiful Vancouver was
And how it's kind of like
Reminiscent of Seattle
And I go have you been to Seattle
And she was like one time
And I go well you could have gone twice
Because I filmed my special there
But you guys didn't go
Which obviously I'm still holding
Onto resentment of that But the reason they didn't go and i
remember was because they had traveled too much that month like they were just for fun and stuff
but i'm like oh so they were just worn out from traveling they're older and they went to schumer
special are you talking about your stand-up special that's been nominated for a critic's
choice award an emmy uh grammy and a golden globe wait what so what is that is that egot wait Stand up special That's been nominated For a Critics Choice Award An Emmy A Grammy
And a Golden Globe
Wait what
So what is that
Is that EGOT
Wait
Grammy
Grammy
Golden Globe
Double G
Critics Choice
So
Kicked
Could be a Tony
Yeah
Gek
Gek
I mean I'm starting to see a pattern
That maybe they shouldn't come
Yeah yeah
No kidding
The first
Maybe a little less pressure
But like She was like Well Yeah well we didn't go Cause we just Maybe they shouldn't come. Yeah, yeah. No kidding. Maybe a little less pressure.
But like, she was like, well, yeah, well, we didn't go because we just, we wanted you to just have that weekend.
We were always at things and we just felt like we were just too much for you.
And I go, no, you didn't.
Like, you're changing the narrative.
It was because you guys had traveled too much and you were tired.
I mean, Elon Gale came.
I mean, if he came, then.
It's like you were.
I just don't like.
We love Elon.
Yes.
There's one good Elon.
So, no, the reason they didn't come is because they were tired, which is totally fine.
And I like.
And yes, I can still give them shit about it.
But it was like because they had traveled for fun too much.
They couldn't come see their daughter tape her future Emmy.
They were too pooped from having fun.
Yes.
But then she goes, we just, we, she made it about her being like, you know, virtuous.
Like we wanted to step back and let you have, we bother you too much on those things.
And I go, that's not, that's not what the story was.
And she goes, yes, it was.
And I go, no, it's because you're tired.
She goes, it can be both.
And I said, it can be, but it wasn't.
Because I go, I've invited you to hundreds of tapings that you have come to.
Never once have you ever said, when you had the energy to go to something,
never once had you said, it's too much for us to be there.
You don't want to deal with us.
So why on that one did you?
It just bothers me when people, not just my mom, even I do it sometimes,
where you just feel bad about something
because you did something selfishly and by selfish i don't mean like it's a bad thing you just did
something out of your own self-preservation because they were tired and they have a right to
be and to say no to something but then don't change the story that like i go mom you do this a lot
when you don't want to go to a party you'll go i don't want to go to this goddamn fucking party
and she goes and you know what they don't need us there you know what we they they have too many people going and we're
and they don't have enough food for us they start making they have to make excuses why it's a moral
justification for their behavior but but it all comes from a place of like not honoring what you
want like you i'm tired that's reason enough to want not want to go to something she should just come up to you and say i don't want to go to your special i'm tired
yes and that would have been fine because i would i would have been a little hurt and be like come on
but ultimately yeah i would respect that you did you don't want me to come to your special you hate
me yes you think i'm a piece of shit that's what it was and i was like don't put me into this don't
make me feel guilty about like.
It's your fault.
Yeah.
For thinking I'm such a shitty person.
So we got into like a really big fight, like right on the waterfront.
My presence will destroy your special.
It was not worth it.
Yeah.
Honestly, everything can't be beautiful at the same time.
And I feel like that generation like loves gaslighting.
It's how they've like learned to live. Yes.
It's a way
to still feel comfortable in an
uncomfortable moment. Yeah.
It really is about like
it's not about her wanting to kind
of evade some kind of
blame. It's like about her not wanting
to acknowledge that her
feelings matter. It really is like just
her being like,
me being tired is not enough to get out of something because I don't, I can't, that's not an excuse enough.
I'm not important enough to like, you know, value that.
So I have to make it about other things.
This is like reverse Jewish mom guilt.
This is like, are you Protestant, Catholic?
Trickle down Catholic.
It's like Catholic guilt because Jewish guilt
would be like the reverse where like you try to get your kid to do something by
being like, you don't want to go to this.
Oh, I'm just a piece of shit.
Oh, my mom would never do that.
And this is the reverse because I don't want to go to this.
I'm a piece of shit.
Yes.
Yes.
My mom is the piece of shit.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yes.
It is.
It is.
Oh, treat your mother like this.
Go ahead.
Why don't you just throw your beautiful mother?
Yeah.
I've never related to that Jewish mother stereotype. The Catholic is I'm a shithead and you don't want just throw your beautiful mother yeah i've never related to that
the jewish mother stereotype the catholic is i'm a shithead and you don't want me around you hate me
yes yes yes yeah i my mom is catholic very catholic and she's the the combination of the two
is at times she's always putting it on me so to let me know that like she's she's base level guilt
guilty at all times,
but then puts everything on me so I feel that guilt.
But then also she will be like,
oh, it's like this could be the last time you ever see me.
Whoa. Oh, God.
You're like, God willing.
And then I'm like, oh, cool, I'm going to Target
just thinking about my mom.
Oh, my God.
No, that's, yeah.
To any moms listening and my mom in general,
this is, it's not about you.
I have the best mom ever.
It's like, I don't think there's a single mom
who gets out of being ridiculed and overanalyzed
and being annoying to their kid.
Thanks, Floyd.
It almost like makes you not want to have kids
because you know no matter what you do,
unless you have an Italian son,
they're going to hate you
for stretches of time and
resent you and say shitty things on their podcast
even though you're the best. Speaking of
Italian sons. Oh my god, Luigi.
What's his last name?
Luigi Mangione.
It's as if, it's like
that rap generator name or whatever.
You know, like it's
Italian generator name.
Who got their name from
Childish Gambino got his name from
that generator. Post Malone got it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What are we allowed to say about this guy publicly?
Okay, I know who he looks like now because I
read on Reddit. Someone finally nailed it because I was like, he looks exactly like someone and it's Dave Franco. Oh, yeah. I know who he looks like now because I read on Reddit someone finally nailed it because I was like, he looks exactly
like someone and it's Dave Franco.
That's who he looks like.
Another Italian. He's very
attractive.
Yeah, he's so handsome. Do you think he's
more attractive or less attractive
now that he's shot somebody?
Oh, well, less.
Oh, less.
Not into the bad boys.
Have you seen pictures of people, him with like people at dinner and like him
having friends?
I'm just dying to know what he was like socially leading up to this.
Well, he's a valedictorian of his high school.
Yes, he went to Penn.
He went to Penn.
He's an Ivy League student.
Yeah, he's from a super wealthy family in Towson, Maryland.
Yeah.
He's so into it.
That's where Bob Castor's from.
Well, really?
Mm-hmm. He, I mean, he's so cool.
I think he's cool.
Everything I've learned about him.
Oh, no, Bob went to Towson.
Sorry, never mind.
But there's an incredible thing
where somebody found a tweet
of a guy being like,
from the summer,
being like,
hey, I haven't heard from you in months.
Like, you promised me
that you would be in my wedding.
Please answer your phone. Wait, it tweeted at answer your phone tweeted at him tweeted at him like his friend and then there's just like now
like 13,000 quote retweets being like dude was locked in oh my god he was so locked in
he shut out everyone you imagine being friends with this?
Like, this guy had friends.
Yeah, well, what's most compelling to me about this is, well, we need to go to break.
Okay, let's go to break and talk about Louisville when we get back.
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 john 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.
Okay, back to this shooter guy.
What's most compelling to me about this is he got a surgery on his back,
and they're saying that his personality changed uh he got a surgery on his back and they're saying that his personality
changed after he got this surgery because he's he was in chronic pain um and then he got this
probably spinal fusion or something like that you all know that uh back surgeries have a 50
chance success failure rate and there's a problem that thank you we all know that now
there is a there's a good it's like a coin flip. You don't know that? Yeah. You don't know that?
Yeah.
I saw Andrew.
He was like nodding, pointing, being like, yes.
Yes, queen.
L7, L8.
L8.
Yeah, the cervix.
But I do believe that either he was driven mad by this surgery because of his interactions
with the health insurance company.
He also has two grandparents that died
over the last four or five years. There's a theory
that he had interactions with the health insurance company
then. I feel like they died in 2017,
I saw. It's been longer than that.
It's been long enough for him to go nuts.
That's a bullshit theory.
You can't use your grandparents' death for anything.
They're like 80 years old.
Oh, I shot up a school
because my grandma died from old age
the only thing you can do
when your grandparents die
is write a My Chemical Romance
album
that drummer died
yeah he did
oh yeah yeah
yeah my favorite band
but I do think
that it's possible
he was in horrible pain
yes
and then he was dealing
with the health insurance
companies and they
wouldn't pay for his surgery
he probably was in
financial trouble
and that's why
he targeted
and read that
book definitely the deny uh delayed uh whatever depose depose defend the unabomber one too i that's
my theory is that he this was a targeted attack because of a personal medical issue that was
making him go crazy and then brian sent to chris and i yesterday like the sarno book could have
like of all this
could have been avoided if you just read the book about healing back pain that's right you don't
have to get back surgery if you just avoid the surgery i know let's if the the if the surgery
is what radicalized him that's absolutely true that that book i'm sure he probably got addicted
to pills i'm sure painkillers were a thing. And then he tried alternative medicine apparently. Mushrooms, yeah. But so many
people are angry at insurance companies and
are super smart geniuses and
are in chronic pain that don't
go this far.
It's going to be, I wonder what we're
going to find out. It just sucks that we don't have
information. And they're not going to,
it's going to be like, it's going to trickle out and then just
stop. And what about the picture of him?
I was reading on Reddit, people were like, when have we ever seen a perp shot from
inside the cell where he's standing like he's asking his buddy to take his Tinder picture?
Like, full body shot on a camera phone.
Like, literally, someone goes in the, he was like, I look at this stuff all the time.
I've never seen this even once in my life of someone inside a jail cell standing upright,
full body shot,
but that isn't a mugshot.
It's like the best mugshot
I've ever seen.
It's not even a mugshot.
It's him in his cell.
The mugshot is not up
against the wall.
He's posing.
It's crazy.
He has a,
well, he's a political martyr
in a way,
and he's doing everything
that you would do
if you were trying
to start a movement.
Wait, what do you mean?
What does he do?
He didn't ask for the picture.
He doesn't get to determine what the facts put out.
But the way that,
it's just like when Trump
took his mugshot,
he knew that this was a moment
that he could use to fundraise.
And this guy is using this.
The hotter he is-
But he didn't make a face
or anything.
He just stood there.
He was hot.
But he can't help but be hot.
He did a bit of a lean.
He's been hot.
He did a lean.
You think there was a lean?
He had a cigarette.
He had a cigarette.
He's like,
yeah, I feel like- He had his wife put out. He was leaning against a lead. He had a cigarette. Perceptible hotness. He had a cigarette. He's like, yeah, I feel like.
He had his wife put out.
He was leaning against a Tesla.
Holding the gun.
In a way, well, I don't think anyone should get murdered.
I do think this guy is like a Che Guevara figure.
He's a hero.
This is like when Bin Laden got killed.
Oh, it's.
You were saying that, but what does that mean?
I don't want to say that publicly?
I don't think anyone should get murdered podcast.
However, I don't think anyone should get murdered.
I don't think there should be a murder spree.
However, it's been incredible to see the unity online between Democrats and Republicans left and right.
We have news and CNN.
We haven't all collectively gotten together on something since the slap.
Like we were saying that before the slap was the last time we all got
together but you just you can only drive people so far and the fact of the matter is these corporations
have given people truly no out for the way that they've been treated corporations are getting more
and more powerful and consumer rights are getting lower and lower and people are like well what do
we do and the only answer is well I guess I'll just kill you.
I guess I'll just kill you.
Literally, I can't do anything to fix this health insurance problem.
Press 9 for more options.
It's like, well, you know what?
That's the one thing that this guy just put on the table.
He's like, now this is an option.
Are you going to get better?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, someone was saying that they're upping their security
and someone had tweeted snarkily. yeah yeah now well someone was saying that like you know every they're upping their security and
someone had tweeted snarkily i for it was like screenshotted that um oh there could be another
way that these people could protect themselves by maybe offering more health care to people and
it's like well that would cost money the security is a lot cheaper security for billionaires is not
expensive for them no what A couple hundred thousand a year
A couple million a year
A couple million a year
That's a tax write off
Either that or give people
Healthcare
You probably shouldn't go kill people
That's the only thing
If there was another way to do it without killing somebody
What about tickling them
Make them embarrassed.
No one should die.
I'm just saying there's like
eight healthcare CEOs
and so many people
have been fucked by insurance companies.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I saw a thing
where they denied 32%.
They're the most denial company.
And they have AI.
Yeah, that was the biggest thing.
This CEO is responsible
for implementing AI claims reps
to their company.
And they denied the most out of any company.
And then they went in and they discovered that 90% of the AI claims were made falsely.
Were decided falsely.
So like they were wrong.
They were wrong.
Yeah, that's another.
But what is their right and wrong?
Like what is there?
It seems to be arbitrary.
That's how it feels.
I didn't even know there was a litmus to decide if it's right or wrong.
I would assume it's all wrong if things aren't covered for a symptom of the thing.
Yeah, I feel like if you're paying into something and you're paying in for this exact time to use it, they should approve it.
And they don't.
They deny.
They defend. They deny, they defend, they
defund the police.
Yeah.
I've been following. And then this plus the
Jay-Z thing. It's been a very exciting
week of insane news.
And I went to Aris
tour in Vancouver over the weekend.
And I was, before the show, I'm walking
on the floor.
My mom and I are going to get water in between Gracie
and Taylor or maybe it was even before Gracie
and this girl comes to me and goes
Nikki and she gets a picture
and it's like I'm a fan and she goes
I'm a journalist and
I work for NBC or whatever
and I was like oh and she was like and did you hear
Jay-Z accused of raping a 13
year old with Diddy and I was like what?
And she's like Jay-Z is accused of raping a 13 year old-old with Diddy. And I was like, what? And she's like, Jay-Z is accused of
raping a 13-year-old. There's like so
many 13-year-olds. It's on the
Jumbotron. There's so many 13-year-olds
and they go, who's Jay-Z?
Yeah, no kidding. And that's exactly
my mom goes, who? And I'm like, Jay-Z
rape 13.
Because it's so loud. Lady Gaga's playing
the pre-music. And
I go, no, my God, what? She was like, you're
going to see it on your phone. And I opened my phone and it was nowhere
to be found. And I even wrote to Emily. I wrote to
Chris. I was like, did you see the breaking news? Because I'm
in a bubble right here. I can't get good service.
And I was like, oh, this isn't going to get as much traction
as this girl is claiming. But then,
I mean, it did kind of blow up. But she
was like, I broke the news story. I was like,
an hour ago, I broke it. And her name is on
all the things. Forget her name now. Sorry, it's not off the top of my head but um she's like yeah i gotta fly out
of here as soon as this concert's over to go to new york to do a bunch of uh you know interviews
for it and you know um but it was it was wild to hear it from the horse's mouth so to speak are all
the diddy rapes just gonna get swept under the rug is this another epstein 2.0 where it's just
like we thought that this was gonna like blow open the world and then yeah chris was saying cosby's free like nothing
ever he's one of the most prolific rapists of uh ever i mean yeah he has almost as many rapes as
albums i think it is hard when there's when there's so many when you get so many rapes it's
hard to like pinpoint one you gotta pinpoint just one but then, it's hard to pinpoint one. You've got to pinpoint just one.
But then when it's one, they say that's a lot.
Yeah, that's true.
There's a sweet spot number of rapes.
But I will say those Cosby accusers are all so famous now.
They got what they wanted.
They really wanted fame and notoriety because it makes you so instantly popular.
And you can get on the cover of Vogue if you just say that you've been raped by a comedian
It makes you like a global sensation overnight. The Cosby accuser for hosting the SAG Awards
I have something to tell you guys, Jay-Z raped me
When you know. Yeah, yeah, it instantly gets you millions of followers. But Cosby's blind now, isn't he?
Yeah, one eye is like falling out. Oh just he? Yeah, one eye is falling out. There's one going bulging out the other way.
He's not fully blind.
R. Kelly is still in prison.
He might be.
R. Kelly is in prison.
Yeah, that's right.
We still have him in prison.
Did you see Jay-Z's apology?
It's one red penny.
It's not an apology.
It's not an apology.
Someone said that he didn't even say he didn't do it.
He did not deny it at all in the whole thing.
Yeah, think of Blue Ivy.
No proofreading.
Think of my 13-year-old daughter.
Yeah, he did voice to text on it.
Exclamation mark, exclamation mark, exclamation mark.
Too many exclamation marks.
It really, like, you know, just joking about this rather serious issue.
It was just like, it gave old man texting into his phone, screaming into the ether.
It gave angry Facebook political posts.
He definitely also thinks he's completely untouchable.
Why wouldn't you?
Literally, the dude was a crack dealer
who became a billionaire.
Yeah.
Like,
in what way do you think
he's,
he thinks he's gonna go down
for this?
And you're married to Beyonce.
You're married to Beyonce.
And she won Grammys
for writing an album
about you cheating.
Like,
even your failures
have turned into gold.
Let me ask a question.
So I saw a picture
of Beyonce and Jay-Z that they used in this article for them
and then Beyonce was wearing this
they were at like the beach or something and Beyonce had this makeup
on where she had like green eyeliner
underneath her eyes.
How come that's not a thing more often?
You liked it? I thought that looked really
good. Not over the eyes.
I didn't know where this was going.
Under the eyes. I think that's just a
very specific makeup choice
that's too costumey for regular folks.
Let me find the picture
because it didn't look costumey to me.
Okay, yeah, find the picture.
I'll find the picture.
That sounds cool though.
And I think that the reason is
is because that would look insane on most people.
But she's Beyonce, she can do anything.
Yeah, I think her complexion compliments it.
Yeah, that's a good question though
regarding all this.
Yeah. That's a good question, though, regarding all this. Yeah.
I think the most important part of this Jay-Z story is what?
Yeah, yeah.
But I just know that was a tense screening of Mufasa last night.
Oh, yeah.
That was a weird vibe in the room.
It was.
At a kid's movie.
That, you know.
I would love to, I mean, like, they definitely had to have talked for like three hours about whether or not he should go.
Oh my God, yeah.
And he was like, I'm going.
I'm going.
I love Billy Eichner.
I want to know.
Is he Timon?
I want to know so badly
How that response that he put out
What came to be
He's on the toilet feverishly talking
Texting into his phone
Does not run it by anyone
In his I would say millions and millions of dollars
Of PR
The team around him
A PR person didn't even see it
until we saw it.
No way.
Whoa, I read it so differently.
I read it like it's been prepared,
ready to go.
No, dude.
It was a mess.
It was a mess.
He got me then.
No, no, not like that.
It was misspellings.
I mean, he's meant to say psychics,
but he wrote physics.
Like there was misspellings in it.
It was not.
One red penny made no sense to capitalize one red penny. And like in it it was it was not one red penny made no sense to
capitalize one red penny and like it just oh my god that's an old saying it's it's such an you
can tell that's like when he was like holding his phone shaking screaming one red it was like
but it didn't capitalize it so then he had to go and he had to hold it down and highlight it and
then find the thing on his phone that caps it and And because, you know, it doesn't do or he went all caps one red.
But either way, he had to go in and underline.
It reminds me of when, like, I have to remember sometimes I said this to you one time that Eminem must go to RhymeZone.com.
He has to.
It's just so cute to see someone so badass
having to do something technical
and highlight it
or press it down and go,
where on the Google Doc does it have the
underline? Is it up on
edits or tools? And he had to
ask Blue Ivy for help on it.
She's like, that's how
she finds out. He's like,
someone's going to tell her. It's like,'s gonna tell her it's like no dad i had
to show you where how to all caps something and why by the way like we're talking about editing
things why can't you highlight something and then make it all caps you have to like go back and
retype it in all caps yes why can't you instantly all cap something if you if you get some more of
these independent word processors you can do that. Why are they holding that back from every single, like that's the easiest fix ever.
That's for the billionaires to use, not us.
That's so annoying.
They get the special features.
Is that the picture of the green eyeshadow?
Oh, that is very cool.
Okay, so that's like a dusting of green eyeshadow, like glittery green eyeshadow on the under, like it's really cool.
I'll try it and show you why
I shouldn't.
And they're just at the beach. It's not like this is some kind of...
I think that's an eye infection.
Well, yeah, it's also because
Beyonce has an incredible face.
You could do anything.
Why aren't people wearing more diarrhea
creams down their cheeks?
Exactly. She can put a Doritos bag on her head
and be like
Sheik
Cool ranch
Yeah
He also did two albums
With R. Kelly
And he's been friends
With P. Diddy
For 20
I mean it's like
That's the thing
You can't not
At the very least
He knows
Yeah he must have seen something
Absolutely
My mom said
And what does Julia Glazer know
A lot
But she kept saying
I just keep getting Shivers down my spine because my mom's been obsessed
with this Diddy stuff.
So she's been watching tons of video.
And she's like, and I haven't seen it, but she said there's a lot of footage of him at
white parties where he's like, get the cameras off me.
Like, really weird about cameras at white parties.
Like, more than anyone.
Oh, okay.
I mean, like, yeah, he feels like the guiltiest man in America.
Yeah.
Like, he's guiltier
than the united healthcare shooter or luigi mangione but everyone split like anya was like
this is the exact statement i would write if i were innocent and i go i i have to say literally
everyone disagrees with you yeah everyone this is the most like people it seems the opposite vibe
but it's like teach their own feeling about it i i'm i'm not i think though he
like took the trump approach where you attack attack attack and it works like what and trump
is what innocent like that's what i'm saying but you get away with it i'm not saying you get away
with it i'm saying like what it reads to people who know i don't see that as innocent but i do
think the biggest liar of all time it does work yeah it's all time it's the
best out the best way to handle anything is to attack yes and not apologize even though that
makes you the biggest piece of shit in the entire world it's good i will say that every time i have
ever been in a fight with someone and i take full responsibility and i literally go whatever you did
was in a response to the shitty thing i did like i really like you don't have to be sorry about anything i started this with all the shit
it has never once not worked to to mend a relationship to make you feel you both feel
better about it and then that person who may or may not owe you an apology never doesn't give you
the what you need back and you may or may it's not even i'm doing it to manipulate them into
giving me an apology,
but they never don't go,
actually, you know what? I could have been better too.
It always leads to that.
It's always good
to just take full responsibility
when you can.
Absolutely.
It softens the ground.
You're at even footing.
And then all of a sudden,
all of that anger washes away
and you could actually
just be real with each other.
Yes.
Yeah.
If you're the pedophile
and just apologize,
it would be fun. This works for personal relationships. and you could actually just be real with each other. Yes. Yeah, if he was a pedophile and just apologized,
it would be fine.
This works for personal relationships.
Maybe if he gave her one red penny.
Now that I'm a father, I would never do that.
I love, we love that.
When men become fathers,
it's something they would never rape again. That only works for personal relationships.
That's the old me.
Yeah, yeah.
As a son of a mother.
Yeah, yeah.
It is true.
Once they become fathers of daughters, they're like, I get it now.
You shouldn't rape.
They're people.
And for some reason that does give it some gravitas that even me as a person who knows it's bullshit kind of goes, oh, yeah they they would never do that but um i wonder i was just
thinking i think it was whitney cummings on her podcast was talking about the white parties how
that's like the worst color to wear at those freak offs and that's how you would know if you already
raped someone is if they were just staying she's like oh maybe that's how they keep track of like
oh that person's been raped already because it is so funny doesn't really no it's all you need an off-white party. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For cum, you just need...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, no, but blood or feces or...
Okay, that's bad.
Okay, what am I doing?
No, you really want a tarp party,
but that's saying too much.
You're giving away the game.
Also, it'd be very slippery with the baby oil.
A tarp party.
The baby oil, it'd become a slip and slide.
Yeah, you know what?
I think the giveaway is the freak off part.
I love the idea of a white party where it's transitioning to a freak off
and they're just waiting for one Gayle King to leave.
They're all looking at their watch like,
Oh, look at them.
About that time, 934.
They're pushing her out of the yard.
Oprah's gone, so maybe.
They all pretend to go to the valet to drive around the corner.
Yes, yes, yes.
Because you know that the white party,
anyone that went to a white party doesn't mean they were involved in raping teenagers at all.
No.
But the freak-offs, for sure.
You were either watching or getting.
Yeah, Oprah was gone.
Connie Chung left.
Stedman stuck around.
Let him have some fun.
Yeah, Oprah's with Gail.
That's why I say just do all the pedophile stuff before the party.
Get it out of the way.
Then you can just hang out with Gail and not have to make her leave.
Do it around 4 p.mpm Plus then they can get a homework
I feel terrible about this
I want to apologize
Let's talk more about shooting a CEO
Yeah let's get back to something
Safer
Something that everyone can agree on
Tonight you're going to be on Kimmel
When this comes out
Oh my god is it already
happening it's tomorrow what is
this what I'm an appearance
yeah just an appearance for promoting
something um the Golden Globes
oh yeah wait but Kimmel's on
ABC yeah yeah they
they are so nice to me over there
like Kimmel likes me he's always reached
out and said nice things and uh
yeah it'll be my third time in a year being on Kimmel.
Amazing.
And he hosted the Oscars.
In six months, I think.
So maybe you'll get advice.
Yeah, I think I'm going to ask for advice.
I think, so how these late night appearances work is that you, the producer, I have a call
with them actually right after this to talk about what I'm going to talk about tomorrow.
They usually have been combing through my Instagram.
They've been listening to podcasts.
They do a bunch of research and then they have ideas of like oh i
heard you talking about this thing maybe we talk about this jimmy asked you about this uh you went
to the last era store you know and then i also usually come with like a bunch of ideas but
generally i think just celebrities don't have any ideas and then the person just presents it so
because every time i talk to a producer they're like you have so my god you make my job so easy
yes of course like those late night shows like the comedians come prepared i don't know why they don't book comedians
almost they want to get they want to get bits in they want to they they care about this and then
like if you watch like just any celebrity i'm not gonna name names but like most of the time it's
like so i just heard you uh you just got back from Sweden. Yes.
And then they just talk about being at a hotel.
I understand your daughter likes singing.
Yeah, and then it's like, cut to the video of it that no one cares.
Yeah, no, she just started and we're really proud of her.
Yes.
So cool.
Oh, and she loves Wicked, right?
And you took her to see Wicked.
I mean, you heard about that?
Well, we have a picture.
It's an interesting question.
It's an interesting question.
Not many people ask that.
Well, I was going, okay, so can I pitch some ideas?
I hate when people do.
That's a really good question.
Don't you hate when people do that?
Oh, I always say that's a really good question that allows me some time to think by saying
it's a really good question.
It's a really good question.
It's just buying you time to figure out what the fuck you're...
It means that question makes me uncomfortable and I need a second.
And you're like complimenting yourself through it somehow i don't know i have said it before because sometimes there are good questions yes and it does make me feel good when i have it
said but it i would say 50 of the time i say it to someone it's buying me time yes yeah um uh so i
was thinking of well i'm going to talk about to possibly talk about a show that Sean and I did together that we've mentioned on this show that was the worst show of my life.
Because Chris Rock also just had a headline where he walked out of a billionaire's show that he had to do.
Apparently, he made a joke about putting Mexicans on a plane or something.
And then he saw someone filming him, and he didn't want a Tony Hinchcliffe moment.
So he walked off stage because someone was filming him and people are saying oh he walked off because
he got caught saying a racist joke and it's not that he was just doing a dumb joke yeah uh that's
it's a private event but it was it was a private event for like republicans yeah essentially is he
was like giving them what they want which is what you do when you get hired by republicans you give
them what they want before they bring in the... And this
person filming wouldn't stop filming?
And I guess someone was filming and he walked off stage
like, fuck this, I'm not doing this, and walked through the
crowd and just left, which I wish I
would have done, except I would have walked
into the ocean.
It was right there.
So yeah, Sean and I had
this gig in Cabo that was
fucking terrible and one of the worst hours of my entire life
And so I might talk about that
Because I just think that
People love to hear about comedians having a shit gig
And it's especially funny when it was literally
A month ago
And a lot of people don't know about these types of gigs
That comedians do get hired by corporations
To do like
Events for the staff
Dance monkey dance Yeah exactly and then you get hired by corporations to do like events for the staff. Dance, monkey dance.
Yeah, exactly.
And then you get hired by these billionaires just to make their parties seem more cool.
Yes.
And so I think I'm going to talk about that.
And then there was a moment at Eras where a girl was in front of me standing up.
And I posted it on my story.
But she was like, had her phone above her head, like put her hands all the way up to
go above all the people doing it in front of her.
She was 5'10", I think, already.
Then with her arms up,
it was like 6'2".
No, no, no.
6'3".
With the arm span?
What is that? How much arm am I getting?
Two and a half feet.
Above my head?
No, above your head. Maybe two feet above your head. You have pretty long
arms. Okay, so she was
seven and a half
feet tall in front
of me 40% of the
show before Taylor even got on stage.
And she didn't even know Gracie Abrams
song. She could do it for a short amount of
time. One song. This is what I said.
I want to kind of go through the etiquette
of going to a concert because I think that I said. I want to kind of go through like the etiquette of like going to a concert
because I think that could be like a fun
clip to pass around of like
here's because I just think based
on what I've read from people going to Charlie XCX
and people going to Sabrina Carpenter and all these like girly
like people are just rude at concerts.
They're singing too loud. They're not
appreciating it. They're not thinking about other people
around them when you're okay. Here's a big
thing when you're doing the moment
where you're waving your phone light to do the
kind of 70s thing where everyone used to take
their lighters, you don't need to
put it... This did not occur to me
until way later because
I was going to Aera shows and during Marjorie, the song
about her grandma, everyone does that. And it looks
really cool. And you're really doing it for her.
You're not even doing it for yourself. You're doing it for
Taylor so she can see this amazing mass of people with their lights up. You're not even doing it for yourself. You're like doing it for Taylor so she can see like this amazing mass
of like people with their lights up.
You don't need to lift it.
You could just put it right in front of your face
and not ruin anyone's view.
And the light is still being shown.
It doesn't change that it's higher for her.
Like, you don't need to block anyone's view.
Just put the light right next to your head
and sway back and forth.
And the same with capturing video.
Like, I understand that sometimes I do need to get up
because someone in front of me
is up.
And,
but only 30 seconds at a time.
No more than that.
Yeah.
And then you go back down
and you can't do it
every fucking song.
I agree with the,
with the electronics,
but I have the,
I had the opposite experience
where I was at the Billy Joel concert
and Allie and I stood up
and we were dancing.
That's different.
And then someone threw stuff at us
almost immediately.
but how shitty were you dancing? You're not creating more body mass Allie and I stood up and we were dancing. That's different. And then someone threw stuff at us almost immediately.
Yeah, but how shitty were you dancing?
You're not creating more body mass than you are.
You're not raising your arms to capture a video that you're not going to fucking do anything with.
The video I'm watching them capture is shit.
Their phone screen is smudged, so it's blurry.
They're not even doing the thing where you tap it
and then you lower the resolution or lower the brightness
so that she
pops on stage. It looks horrible.
They don't have a YouTube account where they're
feeding this to the masses. This is just
for them to watch alone in bed later and wake up
their boyfriend because they don't have any decent
Well, or to brag to their friends that they went to the concert.
I guess, but it's not even good footage.
It's like, I have a right to do it
which I don't do it, but
if anyone has a right to be ruining other people's time, it's because I capture good footage that is literally being fed to a Taylor Swift fan account that I send her all my Dropbox videos so she can make videos of it and disseminate it to hundreds of thousands of Swifties who are enjoying it.
So I'm actually making content for the masses that looks good.
I'm zooming in at the right times.
I memorize where she walks on stage so I'm not missing it it's not herky jerky i have it on the right 10k resolution speed with 60
fps or whatever that emily's taught me i'm not blurly shaking the camera holding it not even
looking at it and just holding it up so i can capture that i was there like so you can send
it to your sister and be like look at me and she won't even watch it because it's unwatchable it
doesn't even look good. It doesn't matter.
So you're wasting everyone's time.
It's not about the quality of video.
It's about you going,
I'm better than you
because I'm at this concert.
Take a selfie of yourself being there.
That's all you need.
We don't need footage of it.
Everyone's, look around you.
Everyone's capturing this moment.
Watch it.
There's literally every single moment
that she was on stage in Eras.
There's 14 different angles of it
captured really well on YouTube and instagram but even if
you want your specific show yeah you know like i always tell people when there was going to shows
don't film everything like you can find this show on youtube shot better from a better angle than
where you were like just relax and usually i'm the one shooting it like i did take it as my
job to make good content and i couldn't do it because the fucking bitch in front of me was shooting god i was filming what she was filming your footage is
just maybe that bitch has her own taylor swift account that she's trying to build but i understand
but she shouldn't because she was bad at videography yeah she was horrible i was filming
what she was filming to prove that it was getting i became obsessed i couldn't relax there was
someone else filming you filming her. I was hoping
someone would witness it again because I would
love. Do you have this footage? Yes, I
have. And then I had my mom
take a video of me filming so I could
show it because I knew people were going to be like, Nikki,
how can you complain about this girl? Now you're
posting video of Taylor Swift. How did you get that?
I'm like, here's how I got it. You hold it right in front
of your face so that you're not blocking anything
that's not already blocked.
Yes.
And I would say to the short girlies who wrote to me and said, what am I supposed to do?
You can absolutely do the thing where you raise your head, hands above your head.
You are short, so you're entitled to more space that you're not getting from height.
And also, but just don't do it for longer than I would give you a minute.
But longer than 30 seconds for an already tall person is just really disrespectful.
And also, dim your fucking phone screen because it's not fun to watch Taylor Swift with an arm and then also a really bright screen in your face.
Also, people just pay attention to bright screens.
When you are on a plane, it is really hard to watch a movie when there is a window open when everyone else has their window shut.
And we're trying to watch you with your window open.
Why?
So you can read your book with natural light.
I hope you get skin cancer from the fucking natural light coming through.
I really hate you.
I think it's so,
people are just,
it is,
we're living in a world
where people do not care about other people
and don't even consider
other people's experiences around them at all.
Sharing space,
it is completely just disintegrated since 2020.
What's going on?
I mean, they're getting it right in Tokyo.
Singapore.
In North or South Korea.
North Korea, they're really getting it right.
They don't even have it.
They don't even have windows.
We've got to take a break.
Okay, let's take a break and I'll come back and pitch some more.

Final thought.
Has it really been since 2020 that this has gone to shit?
Like, Anya wrote to me today.
She was sitting in a diner
and she said,
there is a woman
who is on speakerphone
with someone on FaceTime
talking so loudly at this diner
and everyone's dining quietly around us
and the table next to them
are trying to get work done
and they can't.
She was like,
I can tell they're annoyed,
I'm annoyed, and I go, say something. And she like, I can tell they're annoyed. I'm annoyed.
And I go, say something.
And she goes, I can't.
And I knew exactly what that meant.
She couldn't say something.
And I go, just do it.
But she goes, Nikki, I can't.
I'm going to look a certain way if I do.
And I was like, oh, okay, that makes sense.
Well, now you, yes, we understand now why you can't.
No, but I feel like after 2020, when we were all locked down, like for a while, like being away from everyone
for like nine whole months,
no one assimilated well
when things opened up.
Well, it's a combination of that
and also everyone was being told
what they can and can't do,
which just,
it woke up something inside people.
Yes, the mask thing.
The mask thing,
you can't go outside.
You can't go to a restaurant.
And for certain people, that makes them go insane.
It turns out I am such a sub,
where I'm like, I love when people tell me
what I can and cannot do.
I can't imagine even,
I would never listen to anything on my phone
at full volume.
I hardly ever do it when there are friends around
who aren't like really being
working on something
and they're just sitting there
on their phones too
and it's something
I even want them to hear kind of.
Like I wouldn't even do it then kind of.
I can't imagine.
Like the psychopathy of someone
who would listen to something
and I know this has been
fully discussed online.
We all are perplexed at these people
but they are,
there are so many people
that listen to things on their phone
and talk on speakerphone
and talk on FaceTime and talk loudly on planes what's going on yeah i really think
they should let's let's get luigi on it i'm like i really think these people it's such an
anti-social behavior that they need to like yesterday um benedict polizzi was on a plane
and he tagged me on it because he i this thing of on the plane, someone talking loudly behind me.
I just go, I'm not that and act like I'm listening to them.
Because it's crazy that it happens so often on planes where people just feel so important.
They have to talk really loud because it's always kind of like a saucy subject where they're like, and I told her, I'm not putting up with this anymore.
And I blocked his number.
It's always kind of like They think they're so interesting
That you should want it over here
Which I've been guilty of before
Because my stuff is actually interesting
Like I will say
I know what people are entertained by
Well sometimes you can do that
For an Uber driver
Yes I give them a little bit of a gift
Let's have the juice
Come out during this
Yeah if I'm gonna talk anyway
But I'm not screaming in a way
That is like obnoxious
In a place where people
My Uber driver is not
Not trying to sleep right now.
Yeah.
Where everyone else on this plane
might be because it's a 7 a.m. fucking flight.
I don't mind during boarding,
like when you're waiting for the plane to take off,
I don't mind when people are on their phones
because that's a fun little thing to listen to.
What?
You can't do it on the plane.
No, you never ever have your volume on your phone.
Oh, no, no.
I'm talking about someone talking into a phone.
No, even that is rude.
The moment your ticket gets blooped, you are now a part of a group.
And that group does not ask, is this home for you?
No asking people.
I'm no fun on a plane.
No, I am zero fun on a plane.
You're not a three.
I think I'm a three.
Yes, he is.
He's a three for sure. I'm the same way. I'm a three. Yes, he is. He's a three for sure.
I'm the same way.
I'm a three.
What's a three?
Can I say I had instant karma happen to me at the gym.
The exact same thing happened.
So I go to the gym and I have my headphones into my phone.
And a few days ago, I got a phone call while I was at the gym listening to music.
And I answered it.
And I was like, hey, I'm at the gym. But you can talk to me and I can talk like pretty quietly and I looked around
me I had like an hour-long phone call I looked around me everyone else has headphones in yeah
so I was like no one can even hear what I'm saying so I started I started testing it I was like you
know I said like ass shit and like no one even looked at me so I was like oh this is something
I can do so then the next yesterday, I did the same thing.
I probably think you're listening to Cardi B.
I was at the gym.
Or the person at Anya's Diner.
I got a phone call from the same person.
CEO.
And I was like, oh, yeah, I can just talk on the phone at the gym now.
And I saw there was a couple of people who didn't have headphones in.
And then I go and I go do sit-ups
When you hang on the sit-ups
And you're hanging upside down basically
Yeah
And my phone fell out of my pocket
And it broke my headphones
So I couldn't do the phone call anymore
Oh my god
It was instant karma
Whoa
And I was like you know what
God you're right
You're right
I shouldn't be doing that
Yeah I made a mistake
And now I have to buy new headphones
Guess what Speakers on phones You're right. I shouldn't be doing that. I made a mistake. And now I have to buy new headphones.
Guess what?
Speakers on phones can pick up your normal voice.
There's almost never a reason to yell unless you are on the stock trading floor in 1994.
Yeah.
There's no reason to ever scream on a phone ever.
But people can't help themselves. Andicans are just notoriously very loud and i realized that being in canada we were in vancouver and we were at this like you know vietnamese restaurant that was all
vietnamese people and then like me and my mom and then this table of americans that were
this little woman was so fucking loud especially on vacation and she wasn't saying sorry so it was just like yeah oh
what was that oh i had an interaction that was really bad with someone where i oh oh oh i can't
tell it fuck i guess yeah oh go ahead i mean to talk about that tall woman uh like like you kind
of expect better from canada of like oh and this girl she had her boyfriend with her who was like all
over her but she was kind of like uh so my mom and i determined like a hundred percent he got
her their aero store tickets and she's gonna break up with him right after because he couldn't stop
touching her i am so disgusted by couples that need to constantly rub each other's fucking backs
at a show to show you how much in love they are and i'm again 30 seconds at a time is fine not the
whole goddamn show we get it you're so in love just stay home and grope each other i don't need
to and maybe i'm jealous but i don't think i am it's just too much pda like i was like grossed
out by pda in my 20s like i truly i truly do not need to go to an Olivia Rodrigo concert and see somebody get fingered. Yeah, I know.
Especially by yourself.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, that is why I'm there.
Yeah, to do it, not to watch it.
Sometimes I hear someone, like, I'll just be walking in a hotel or something, and someone
laughs, and the laugh is so uproarious and loud, I get angry.
Oh, yeah.
Because I'm like, there's nothing in the world.
Or a sneeze that's loud.
Oh, well, the sneeze,
that's different.
I think that the laugh,
I'm like,
there's nothing in the world
that's as funny
as your laughing.
No, that woman has a crush
on someone nearby.
Oh.
Because women do a thing.
I mean, I know that I have done,
like, when you are horny
for someone,
you'll laugh really loud
and, like, throw your head back and, like, it's, like, orgasmic, kind of. And so it's a way of, you'll laugh really loud and throw your head back. It's
orgasmic. It's a way
of signaling, this is what it looks like when I'm
coming. Wow, that's interesting.
If I think about it that way, it makes it a little better.
You get angry when women
come.
Some people also have very
annoying laughs. I am one of these
people. But it's not loud.
I've ruined
many a New York Comics
album recording.
No, your laugh is great.
Is it your current laugh or did you change it?
I know it's still there. It came out
last night and I heard myself doing it.
What does it sound like? I can't
do it. No, you can't do it artificially.
No, it's not artificial, but it sounds
fake. No, your laugh
is great. I totally disagree.
But I want to say one more thing. So,
remember when I went to the concert in Indy with my mom
and there was a woman that snuck into our section
and she kind of smelled bad and she was just
taking up too much space and then I got her
kicked out and I
told her to move and then she moved in
front of us and I was like,
I forget what the interaction was
but she took a picture of me
do you remember that girl?
oh yeah
and then I go
bitch
I took a picture of you
don't even
don't even try to post that
like I got you too
like we're both on
I am
we're at Vancouver Eras
and I go
mom
no
look who it is
and she fucking
snuck in our row
again
the same
gutter punk bitch
the same woman with her little twitchy squirrel with rabies behavior.
And she's by herself.
And she's just.
Whoa.
Whoa.
She makes me so sick.
And she snuck in again.
And then she didn't fit in our row.
So she moved to the one in front of us.
And she's not even paying attention to the show.
She's just on her phone.
Just trying to get footage.
And her energy makes me sick.
I know I'm being so mean
because she's probably just like a struggling person but i don't think she just was the and i
was so wanting to sick a security guard on her but i was like no be a better person just let her
enjoy her night this girl literally probably doesn't have much living to live for she's alone
she has a shirt where she's put all the confetti she's collected at taylor swift shows and stapled
it on her shirt so it's just like dirty confetti all over this shirt.
But I took another picture of her and she saw me too.
And I just goes like,
mom,
there she is.
And my mom goes,
no.
And I go from Indianapolis.
She goes,
no,
remind me.
And I pulled up the other picture.
I go,
that's her.
How could she be such a wreck,
but then also have the money to buy these tickets?
She's like,
you're Newman or something.
She was the,
she's my mortal enemy.
I just,
I can't stand this girl.
Is she like fish, like fish fanning Taylor Swift?
I mean, I'm the same thing, you know, like we're doing the same thing, but she, but she's,
I would never ever have a seat in a section that I didn't like and then try to weasel
my way to the front by finding, like, she was a weasel and she's by herself and she
was trying to blend in.
Like these people are just disgusting.
Like stay in your seat.
I understand.
Like I just,
I was really just,
I don't know why she,
cause I guess like even when I have shows and there's a couple of seats in
the front row that I see empty,
I'm like,
someone should come up here and get them.
So I'm a hypocrite,
but she really bothered me.
Yeah.
Not her though.
If she would have just done what she did at Arras Vancouver,
I would have liked her
and been like,
oh, her shirt's cute and fun
but because of my indie interaction
and then seeing her again
and being like,
you made it here too?
You're beginning to understand
how racists feel.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, that's interesting.
I don't understand why
I just don't want this person near me.
Could you smell her again?
No, no.
I didn't smell her the first time. My mom said she was really bad. But man, I just didn't. It person near me. Could you smell her again? No, no. I didn't smell her the first time.
My mom said she was really bad.
But man, I just didn't.
It's not fair when you just don't like the way someone moves.
You're just like, this isn't fair.
When you get the ick for a boyfriend or something,
you're just like, everything you do disgusts me.
And it's all based on something from my past.
She reminded me of someone.
I can't.
I try to give people the benefit of the doubt.
Like, oh, they don't do this that often. Like, someone on a plane will get up right away or they'll do something
they'll grab your chair when they stand up oh god which i lose my mind over but then i'm like oh
maybe they just don't fly a lot and i try to be empathetic but it's like how do you not know like
how are you just not a human being i just don't understand how the golden rule didn't get like i
remember learning about the golden rule and being like,
Oh my God,
that's such a great way to move through life.
Just picture only do things that you would want.
Like think it's a,
it's almost a selfish way to look at things.
Like should,
would I want to be next to someone who's loudly listening on their phone?
No.
So I'm not going to do that.
Like,
it's not even like being nice to others.
It's actually like,
I'm putting out there what I want.
Why didn't,
why didn't don't
people absorb it because i literally what i was going to do to the woman if i did approach her
about her holding her phone because my internet my poll on instagram which i don't think most
92 percent of people said that they would have said something to her i go do i say something or
i do not say something oh you didn't say anything i didn't say anything because she stopped doing it
because your arm hurts from doing that that long and she kind of lost and i i kind of
knew she would probably tie her out by the time taylor got like halfway through so it stopped so
i didn't need to say anything but i would have said something what i was going to say is just
show her the picture of herself and say would you like this in front of you the entire show
i that's what i was gonna that was my plan of being like hey do you mind maybe at first i was
gonna say hey do you mind like recording just a little bit lower and then if she gave me attitude i go would you like this in front of you because i could stand in
front of you and do it if you if you think that's an acceptable weight i was gonna then start some
shit yeah because that's the truth it's like would you want this then don't do it i think it might be
because that there's now we're blending our online personality which is becoming half of our life
with our in public personality and it's
becoming we're getting less practice at interacting with people in the real world right everything is
online i mean everything that's important is online yes everything that you do even when you
do stuff live all that matters is what happens the next day on the internet oh i said the most
awkward thing yesterday to the barista that i'm friends with at the starbucks down the street like we're buddies like i see him twice a day every day and um i go hey david good
to see you again i go how's it going he's like it's it's crazy out there like he must have had
like a day or something he's just but it sounded like he was talking about the world he's like
you know what's wild i go i know jay-z raped a 13 year old andold. And I said it loud, like, not loudly enough for anyone to, like, be disturbed.
But you could just tell that was, like, not what he was referring to at all.
I thought he was kind of like, God, the news cycle.
And he was like, it was just so, it was, and thank God he's, like, a nice guy who, like, knows my sense of humor.
Because he knew who I was.
But, like, it just didn't land right.
And I was obsessed with that at that moment.
So, of course, to me it was just a colloquial thing to say.
God, that is so funny.
What did he say back?
Did he just give you a look?
He just goes, yeah, our heroes just disappoint us so much.
He has said it.
He is David at Starbucks on Sunset, West Sunset is Alta Loma, I think,
and Sunset is a real one.
That's it for us.
Yeah, thank you so much for listening.
We'll be back tomorrow with more show with the same group.
I can't wait.
And we're recording it tomorrow,
so you're not getting a doubled up one.
And watch me on Timbal tonight.
And don't be killed.
Bye.
Bye.
