My Old Ass. My Old Ass, yeah, definitely recommend seeing that. But that just randomly came up. Sean O'Connor is here, Brian Frangy is here, Noah's here, we're in Los Angeles, California, what is that?

What were you just about to say? We're in Los Angeles. We're doing it, baby. I mean, this is it. This is the city is thriving. Yeah, it's California dreamin'. It is. Wait, is the city thriving?

You get my vibe? No, it just suffered like one of the hugest tragedies of its history and it's falling, the industry is imploding. Oh, so you're being sarcastic? Yeah, no, being in LA is one of the worst places to be, I think in the world. Oh, that's not true.

Other than Kiev. No, this is honestly. I'd rather be in Kiev. Honestly honestly even with everything going to shit LA is still a top-quality oh a hundred percent yeah it's it's it's well you guys been to a lot of cities lately yes it we have Ontario I mean you know Victoria Canada was like them like I want to just tell all the besties straight up Victoria British Columbia is one of the most beautiful cities ever. Everyone should move there and ruin it.

It is perfect. It is like, honestly, it was so quaint and lovely that their busker was like an old man playing the bagpipes. Wow. Yes, it was really, really beautiful. They have a Christmas light kind of Outline on every building, but it's not Christmas lights are spaced apart enough that it doesn't give Christmas Uh-huh. Do you know I mean like it's the white lights or colored light white light. Yeah, every city should do that

That's like winter. Why is every city doing this Culver City does it? It's so cute It makes everything like pop it like just looks it's giving it just it was like I was so mad at America for not stealing that. And I think we should. Yeah, we will. Harbor town. It was like an eye. It's on an island. Yeah. It's like right off the coast of Vancouver. It's so lovely. Oh, my God. We should feel it. I. Yeah, we need it. It is the Canadians do not have a sense of humor about us possibly stealing them. And I didn't know the gravity of the situation before I went there. And then I researched it and I'm like, oh, this isn't...

They're mad. They should be. They're boycotting American goods. Good. Yeah. They have every right to. We suck. I would be furious.

The Canadians whipped our asses in hunky. I wouldn't have come to my show if I were them. I'm like shocked they still support American- You're an American good. I'm an American good, not an American bad. Most days I'm an American mediocre. That is true. Like I am like, wait, are they going to still show at these shows? You pay taxes in America, so therefore part of the money that they pay to see your show

is going to Trump. No, no. Doge. Listen, Nikki is a stand-up. She has no allegiance to the American government. She is not corn. Like, don't eat our corn. Go to the show.

I'm not Jack Daniels. What else are they not eating?? There was something else Vermont maple syrup They're Canadian syrup or great lumber That Trump wants to cut down all of our national forests so that we can compete with the lack of lumber that we're gonna Not no longer get from Canada. We have more Josh Gads than any other country. I I will say that I love performing in Canada because you can say things on stage Politically that you can't say here because your audience is split here no matter I mean for me at least they're split and I appreciate that

That's amazing. It's crazy And so what perfect whenever I do say something those who know know and those who don't know Just go along with it because they can't really tell what I'm doing In fact, I would say but you might be one of the only like in the top You're like the top 20 comedians in the world. You might be the only one that did it with that type of swath Like who has a direct like the people who are wrong I bet has Tomlinson probably has no no They're definitely I think they're all yeah, they're all left

I don't think so till this is not Taylor Tomlinson. No I think she's split down the middle She's started and like the Christian Nate I think even though you would think he has a lot from the right I know a lot from the I think I think Comedy actually so it's pretty down down I don't think it's that it's hard to do because I'm not like trying to do that I just don't want to know in the audience who voted for him because I don't want to like feel Sad about the country like I just don't want to focus on it So that's why I kind of steer away from that stuff

But up in Canada when you even say his because I have a joke that says his name, but it isn't like, in America, it never indicates to me what side people are on. I don't really care. And I don't even want to hear from the left side, by the way. I don't want people like, fuck Trump. I don't want that either. No, that's annoying.

I just want to say his name and have it be a joke and not have to incite a riot. That's how it used to be. Even though this weekend, it really like it distracted me like the second you said his name like in um it was Portland Maine those people that's a quiet quaint fishing village town. Oh but they are they've got attitude. There's an anger simmering in Portland Maine and I love you guys but there you all dress like hippies you all dress like you're doing that lady like you know and where you connect to the wires between trees and you balance on them, like, and you play frisbee and hacky

sack and you listen to like, Dar Williams. But you, you're mad about some stuff. From their conception, they've been discarded. They're the second Portland, even though they were the first Portland. Oh, they do not have a sense of humor about that. No, they don't. Hey, you were right, you, because we were writing roast jokes about Portland, Maine, and Brian's headline at the top was, Hey, by the way, Portland, Maine does not have a sense of humor about itself.

And I called them out on it on the second show because I was like, hey, by the way, we all know you don't have a sense, that's why these aren't even as hard as they should be. I'm going light on you guys, so just open your minds a little bit and know that you are all pussies. They were very interesting in what they went along with.

Yes. Denigrating them at all, being like, you guys are the second most popular Portland, they're pissed off. But being like, you all have DUIs, they're like, ee-hee! Yeah, they love celebrating their alcoholism. But I will say I loved those crowds and they just,

I would be a little bit angry too. I feel like Maine feels forgotten. Like no one, everyone makes fun of Maine. It almost feels like Canada up there. Yeah. Like I feel like we have forgotten Maine, even though it's a beautiful state. And Portland Maine really is like a very cute town.

It's like, it's a colder, because when we were in Victoria, it was beautiful. Like abnormally beautiful. So it was, it's kind of like Victoria. There's like a harbor and- Oh yeah, absolutely. Like to me, like Portland, Maine felt like the city and Jaws without the shark.

Like there was like nothing to actually worry about. Yes. So it was like just people like bicycling and like walking in seven degree weather and they're like weird that you look cold. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I saw a guy in shorts outside of a dispensary and I'm like, what are you doing?

Yes, it was, we don't know if people were dressing as fishermen because they're a fisherman or ironically was like the vibe there. That's Portland, Maine. But when you're in Canada, back to what I was saying, oh by the way, Jen ZM is here, I forgot to say that. Did we not say that? Well we said she was in video.

And I'm sorry that I didn't repeat it. But, and she was there with us this weekend as well. But in Canada, you can say, if you wanna go scream about Trump on stage, they'll have it. And you can go buck wild for a little bit of time and no one's gonna walk out, no one's gonna get offended,

no one's gonna film it. Well, they're mad at him too. Yeah, I didn't realize the, like I knew that they would be, I didn't know, I kind of indulged in it a couple times. Cause it just felt like, like, you know, when you, when your mom leaves and you can scream into a pillow, be like, I hate you!

You know, like, or like, you know, some, it just felt like, I don't know, it was cathartic. It's like your comedian in 2006. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it felt free. It was, it was magical. Like when you were talking about it, the pops that you were getting were like

Martin Lawrence hosting Def Jam. Yes, it was explosive. Honestly, it was like you were talking about funky drawers in 1993. And I didn't bask in it too long, but I was just like, okay, I'm gonna enjoy this while I can. This is like, it was like the feeling of when I took my shirt

off on a Burt Kreischer tour. And I was like, this was fun to do for a second. And I felt free, and I was like, oh, this is a different feeling on stage, but it was really nice to just let her rip up there. And I had no idea that you could. I mean, I guess, I don't know what I was thinking. Of course you can, but they are very upset.

The most magical thing in the world though, was like, cause you were, you did that, upset. The most magical thing in the world though was like, cause you did that and then people were like, woo! And then you had a joke about how Justin Trudeau was hot and everyone booed him. Oh my god, we had no idea they hate Justin Trudeau as much as they hate Trump. It's coming back though, cause Canadian nationalism's

on the rise because of Trump. And so now Trudeau is a little bit more popular than probably even... Not two weeks ago! It was like the booze if you were performing in Vermont about Trump. Like, in saying Trump is hot in Vermont. Like, it was... I had to change the joke. It was a good joke, but I was like, I can't do that. So we go backstage and I go,

guys, what? They hate Trudeau. Like, what's going on? We kind of all didn't understand. We knew he was leaving, you know, he resigned, but like, I didn't know he was pushed into resignation by the country. And I opened this article that was like, why do Canadians hate Justin Trudeau? And it was like, coming from America, it was like reading about a boyfriend who like sometimes,

like, I don't know, like farts in bed, and you you're like leaving him and I'm in a relationship where I'm getting beat every night Stairs and like he's calling me a dumb whore and like you know what I mean like it was like Yeah, the reasons were like the blackface incident was the biggest one. Yeah, did you make fun of him for that? Yeah, yeah, but it was like I said like he's hot you think I care about blackface I'm from Missouri like I made a joke like that which is obviously I do care about blackface please don't do that man But that was his biggest crime to them and also like one time he went on vacation during a national holiday that's supposed to celebrate

During a holiday? It was a holiday to celebrate You know indigenous peoples who the land had been taken from. And he was on, he like went surfing that day or something, which yes, that doesn't look good, but like in the scheme of things. Ted Cruz went to Cancun when his city was out of electricity and Karen Bass went to Ghana when the city burned down. And then I screamed at them the next set. I go, you don't like Trudeau.

Give me a reason. I go, I just read an article. I read every single reason you don't get to They really liked it they got it like I was like how dare you They turned their nose up because he shook a guy who might have been a Nazi's hand at parliament. And he didn't know. He didn't know the guy was a Nazi.

And then Nikki's joke was like, it was like, and our secretary of defense is a Nazi. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was wild, but we had a fun time on the road this weekend. So I was flying to Hartford on Friday. I'm in the lounge, the American Airlines lounge at St. Louis Airport, which I didn't know existed until this Friday, even though I fly out of that airport

literally twice a week or whatever. Because I think I just get there just in time to make my flight because I know it in the timing so well that I'm not like hanging out. But I went to the lounge and I'm like, oh, cool lounge here. And so I'm sitting there, forgot what I was like doing on my phone,

but then I just get a text from my mom that's like, Nikki, I just want to let you know that we let Goldie out this morning to go pee before she ate, and she never came back, and she's been gone for about 45 minutes, and we don't know where she went, and we're gonna go drive around the neighborhood now and look for her. And I was just like, oh, she's been gone 45 minutes.

I wasn't panicked. And also, I can't be, because there's nothing I can do. I don't know what that is in me that doesn't get fucked up about stuff that's an emergency when I can't do anything. But I think it's a logical part of my brain that more people should adopt, that you shouldn't start crying and shaking and panicking

when there's literally nothing that that's going to do. Like when you're on a plane, doing this isn't gonna make the plane be better. It might help you. But you know what I mean? Anything you think is, I think, in the moment I feel a little callous because I was kind of just like, okay,

and then I just went back to my podcast. I literally, and then I was even like, why are you going back to the podcast? Why are you going back to watching Reels? And I'm thinking about the dog, obviously, and I'm trying to distract myself. But I- It's a good survival instinct in a crisis.

You know, but at some point, whether you like it or not, those emotions will need to be processed. They'll catch up. Yeah. But I'm not letting them catch up with me until my dog is dead. Like, I refused in this, so this led to a, so eight in the morning and she wasn't found

until I think it was probably 9.30 at night, St. Louis time. So it was 13 and a half hours that she was missing. Yeah, which is so long. So I went through all the emotions. Like I fly on the, go on the plane and I'm like, they'll find her within an hour. Like the first, it was almost like the first 48.

Like you're like. Yeah. Oh, she's probably just like on the other side of the fence. Totally. Or like maybe she's just down in this creek that's like, but like she just got out of a hole in the fence that my dad repaired the day before because my dog Luigi was getting out

because they always find a way out. Yeah, they could dig under. And so Luigi and Marion just came back right to the door. They're like, ready to eat! And Goldie is just abandoned, which Chris and I are like, what the fuck? They got out also? No, they just came back to eat, because they go out to pee

and then they come back in to eat. So it's like a two minute thing. Goldie is too young. She wants to run around. They were just being, they were like bullying her, and she had to run around. They were just being, they were like bullying her and she had to run away. Like, I can't even, I'm so mad at them for letting her just not come back

and not being like, hey, come back, even though I don't even know that's how dogs communicate. But my dog went, my dad went to go brush his teeth, let the dogs out and came back minutes later, Goldie's not there. So then, you know, the panic ensues. And so I go on the plane and I sleep a little bit on the plane but I have dreams about her and then I wake up

and I'm checking my phone and my and Chris's number are on her collar and everyone's telling me, start calling the shelter, we land, she's still not found. Start calling the shelters, ask if they got reported, if someone found a dog and turned it in. I'm like, but wouldn't they call me? Like the number's on her fucking collar. Like, people have a lot of ideas,

like, I know it's being helpful, but Anya's like, you need to post it on your story. And I'm like, okay, no, because all that is is going to make people go, oh my god, I'm so sorry your dog's missing, oh my god, flooded hundreds of people. Oh my god, that's so scary, let us know what she's found. So much panic about everyone else who's seen her on my story, I don't need to like have that's so scary. Let us know what it's what she's found so much panic about

Everyone else who's seen her on my story I don't need to like have that coming at me and the good it would do like I'm trying to measure it I'm like am I putting my like not ego of like my dog's loss I don't really care losing your dog is not like up like I'm not a bad person My parents aren't bad dog owners. This could happen to literally anyone. They had a fence right you could get attacked for this Yeah, and I'm not I don't even care about that because I know that I did nothing wrong. So I would come back You weren't even in the same state. Yeah, and and the people I trusted are good people. They they are dog owners for years and years. I mean they raised you. Yeah, and look I'm a good dog. You didn't get away. I got away as soon as I could but um I'm thriving once I get away. So I thought Goldie yeah might really

become a famous comedian. But she, so I was just like, cause Anya's like, post it on your story. And I'm like, and me, and it was me not posting this on my story gonna make her not found. But like I said to Anya, I said, I think 0.00001% of my followers

live within a two mile radius of where she's missing and the fact the Chance that they're gonna she's like well you could get the word out it honestly I don't it would not have helped in the like is J. Lo gonna fly to st. Louis and look for your dog It's just like creating alarm that doesn't need to be done when and then on top I go and when she's found I have to Report it to everyone there's gonna be a flood of DMS being we, and when she's found, I have to report it to everyone. There's gonna be a flood of DMs being like, we're so glad she's found, which is all very lovely, and people are just mean well.

I would do the same thing if one of my friends posted that their dog was missing. I understand why people do that. I just didn't want the attention. But even then, Anya, I guess, posted, my parents posted on Facebook, on a local Facebook, which makes more sense, because I don't have a local Facebook.

And then Anya took that and posted it on her Facebook. And so I was getting messages from Anya's fans being like, I heard that Goldie's missing. I'm like, this is annoying. You're in New Jersey. And like, no offense to that person who messaged me, I wasn't annoyed at you, like you found out, but I was annoyed, like, this doesn't help anything.

But I think people just like, need to like do everything they can, but I was annoyed. Like, this doesn't help anything. But I think people just need to do everything they can, but sometimes I think everything you can is not the best method. And so I just wanna defend that because I feel like I seem to be a little bit like, well, maybe we'll do that. But I had Emily make posters immediately because we were driving to Hartford from Boston.

We landed in Boston. Emily made a missing poster. We sent it to Kinko's. My mom printed it up. They put it around the neighborhood. Taylor McGraw from the podcast drove, because she watches Goldie sometimes when my parents can't, drove to my parents' neighborhood and went looking for her all day long with my parents and put up posters and talking to neighborhood kids. And she was like, she's going to get found. Someone spotted her around. She was spotted at like 5 p.m. or something, and so we knew she was still alive

within a quarter mile of our house. And so I was kind of feeling chill about it. Chris was 100% sure a coyote got her because a coyote was spotted on the next door app. Was he in St. Louis? No, he was here and not feeling good. He was already sick. And then this, he would have flown right away to go find her.

He was gonna fly out the next morning with like a terminal illness. He seems like he literally was- This is the second time that that happened to him. What? That he was sick and had to have, he couldn't fly somewhere because of it. Cause it didn't happen over-

Yeah, he's getting sick a lot. Thanksgiving or something. He's working himself ragged. He is. He's ragged. He wouldn't let me say that, but he works too hard and his immune system is suffering. And so he was gonna fly out, and because, yeah, Coyote was spotted on the Nextdoor app

in the radius of the yard, but then we didn't hear any barking. The dogs all would have been barking. Goldie has this thing where if she, if we go to a dog park that has no dogs in it, she will freeze. She can't even walk in it because she smells big dogs. So she can smell big dogs and she can't,

I'll know when a big dog is near because she just freezes and starts shaking because they can smell them. So if she would've smelled a coyote. She would freeze. That's probably why she, yeah. She was just frozen somewhere in a field. Oh my God.

And so she, I just knew that the dogs were not gonna be chill if a coyote was there. I just want to say an important lesson to glean from this for anybody is that when someone's having a tragedy or a crisis or something like that, you don't do what you want to do. You ask them, what can I do for you? And you do what they say. If they say, you know what, it would be nice if you just left me alone. Or if they say, I could what, it would be nice if you just left me alone, or if they say

I could really use food or whatever. But my friends were panicking like it was their own dog, which I really appreciated. They all were like crying and praying. They don't even pray. Sarah Lena made her husband pray and she was like, she said he was very confused. Everyone on the girls chat was like, it was very confused. But Sarah, like, everyone on the girls chat was like, it was so sweet, they almost cared more than I did because I wasn't really letting it in

because I cared, I did everything I did to find her, but I'm like, I think she's just gonna, based on all the stories people were telling me about dogs that had gone missing all day, Emily had a story, the dog finds its way back. You get the word out in the neighborhood. Yeah, it's like a cat. But it had a collar on, it's microchipped like yeah, if it ends up somewhere someone's gonna call me

So the fact that no one called me was meant No one had she was not in someone's possession or if she was they had stolen her and I was never gonna see her again And someone just has her now. Yeah, which okay, you know, like even I played that out I'm like if someone wants a dog that bad, they're not going to beat it. Like at least she'll have a good life, maybe. I mean, they're a psychopath. But maybe they'll sell it to someone who likes, like, you know, if a child gets kidnapped, their fate is not good. Like it's not often that they're kidnapping a child so they can give it a great home. Yeah, usually they get eaten by a coyote.

True. And so it's, I I was kind of hopeful that maybe, if she, in my mind I'm like, if she gets stolen, disappears without a trace, I'll hope that someone stole her, or if it's a coyote, I hope it was a fast death, and at least she provided food to a starving animal that's been displaced because of construction. I was rationalizing everything,

and I was talking to Chris on the phone, we had really good eight months with her, and this is a mistake. That's it? Yeah, I got her in June. It's only been eight months? Whoa. And I just bought a fucking house for this dog.

So I literally went under contract the day before for a house that I'm literally only getting so I can have a yard, so I can have a dog, because my dog doesn't like to go out in the neighborhood I live in. It's a long walk from the apartment hall to the... Quarter of a mile. Well, here's the thing.

Like, even dogs, they don't change as hard. So like, she was just acting out. You think this was a protest? She was just acting out. This was a runaway from home situation? She's getting cold feet about the house as well. Yeah. The one that she, yeah, she...

All of her memories are so tied up in your apartment. Oh my god. Yes. Do you remember when Lady Gaga's dog walker right here in Hollywood was shot? Yes. To all the celebrities whose dogs have gone missing that I've heard about through the years

and I have felt for, I feel for you so much harder. And to all the, like now I know what it's like to like think that something you love has been taken very quickly. Like listen, I have empathy for people who lose their dogs to sickness. When it's fast, or when it's like, I have friends that their 18-year-old dog just died, or 19-year-old dog, and it's kind of like,

that's like when someone loses a grandma. You're sad for that person, but it's like, we see this coming, you're on borrowed time, let's all wrap our heads around it. But when your dog is stolen or just disappears, or like, I don't want a kid now at all. Like Chris and I decided like 100% the pain we suffered this weekend for those 13 hours, literally not worth it. Like I imagine the pain I felt is what you feel if you're out of town and your kid has

an earache. Do you know what I mean? Like a kid is like so much more than a dog. So I'm like trying to even like, put it like, if your kid is suffering in any way and you can't be there for it, like I just don't want that. So all day I'm stressed out.

I, the second I get alone, cause Emily and I drive to Hartford, the second I get alone in my hotel, I like squeeze out a couple of tears. But I'm also like, I don't want to cry because that means I've accepted. What? That's what you call that?

I literally was just like trying to cry. Because all my friends are like tearing up about it. My mom can't stop crying. Chris is crying. Like everyone seems to be really emotional and it's like she's my dog and I'm not emotional. It's like, because I just, of course I was. I was a fucking wreck.

I think I lost like five fistfuls of hair because of the stress of like the stress. The stress. This is stress. I'm sorry about that. This is a clue. Denial, I was, I jumped that stage. And I was just, and I also was like in acceptance. I was like, she's gone, she died, I'm gonna get on with my life,

it's gonna be hard to get a new dog, I'm not going to anytime soon. I already told, like I wrote to the girls chat, like don't anyone buy me a painting of my dog. Don't get anything with my dog's picture on it. I don't wanna see it. I almost was like, but I didn't put that out there because I thought that was like, I wrote it

and then I erased it because I said, oh, that means that I think that she's definitely gone. But if she would have been gone, I would have said, do not, I don't want anything with her face on it. I don't wanna be reminded of her. I was already preparing for that. But then, so I cried a little bit, but I couldn't really get anything out.

So I called Chris to cry, because when you talk to someone about something, usually it comes out. And he didn't pick up, so I was just like, what the fuck? So I just went and worked out. I'm like, am I allowed to work out when my dog is missing?

I don't know what else to do. And then we went to the show, and I had the first show. And honestly, when I was on stage, I literally forgot about my dog missing. Well, that's the beauty of the stage. I couldn't believe it. A magical place where all your problems go away for a short time. First show in Hartford had a great time on stage.

Walked off stage immediately felt the pain and the stress again. But like you know you keep things light. I'm kind of joking about it because I just don't want to let it in. And then the second show it's now dark in St. Louis and I'm like yeah like when it got six o'clock it's coyote time. You still had hope. It's the witching hour. Yeah. Yeah and when it gets dark I was just like well she in my mind I'm like well she was on an island for five days before I got her like she's a survivor. This was less than a year ago she was out in the woods by herself. Yeah she's

not gonna die she's just gonna work harder. She knows what she's... Yeah. Okay, we'll find story when I get back from break. Love at first swipe? I highly doubt it. What's your biggest red flag? No, no, no. What's your ultimate green flag? These days, reality TV and social media have us thinking love is instant. We're marrying strangers at first sight.

I think the last time I cried like that was when I lost my mom. Like that, like yelling. I was like, no. I was like, oh, and I thought, what time I cried like that was when I lost my mom.

and I hope that you can join me. Listen to Cheekies and Chill and chill season four as part of The mykultura podcast network available on the iHeartRadio app Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts And we're back. So then um Go start the second show And I'm and right before the second show I think I was backstage with you guys like if I said see it was like wait Like how cool would it be if like we found her mid shell like would you want me to run on stage and say something?

I was like, uh, yeah 100% go do it You responded it so quickly being like yeah, but it also felt like you're like that's never going to happen So like yeah, please walk on stage I dare you, yes, it really was that bad, you're so right. Because when it was like, it was night, it was now nine o'clock at night there. I was like, it's done.

It's been three hours of darkness. She's just hunkered down for the night. I pictured her and she carved out a little hole in a hollow tree or something. And it's just scared and shaking and waiting because she hadn't eaten since the day before it like Five o'clock when she eats, you know, like I was like she's gone for over 24 hours without eating Hopefully she got into some trash or something and found something to eat that day Water even oh my god. She needs to be checked for

What I didn't even think about water you should probably go take her to the vet to be checked for worms. Cause she might've drank puddle water. Oh my gosh. By the way, absolutely. 100%. When you get away, like she was eating trash, she was like drinking up the creek. Oh my God.

Okay, I'm doing my podcast and Brian just had a really good point that Goldie could have eaten from puddles during the day she was gone and so we should have her checked for worms, period. Okay, good to know. We'll do that this week. Thank you for that. I just dictated a text, by the way.

So then, I'm on stage in Hartford, and I do a joke about Goldie being missing. You brought it up. You bring it up. I bring it up. Was she found at that point? No. Literally, the text comes in I got the text the text comes in one minute after you say it

on stage. That's not. This scratching the asshole joke. It was no, I was talking about, I go, my dog is missing. And I said, she's been missing all day. This is really helping me like distract me from it. But the only good thing about having a missing dog as opposed to like a missing kid

is I know that no one's trying to fuck my dog. Because that is true. It was like some kind of relief that, you know. Except maybe another dog. Because if you're, yeah, that's true. And then Sean's joke was, and if someone is, I don't want her back. You've ruined her.

So I said that joke and everyone kind of laughed but I was like she really is missing it sucks so much but you know thanks for coming out and this actually does distract me it's gonna be okay everything will be fine and then a minute later I just hear commotion on the side of the stage and I like look over and Emily's like they found her they found her like so adorable and I'm like what what and then I like looked at my phone. I was like it was The best feeling I've ever felt in my entire life Like I I will never feel I hope I never feel a feeling that good again because it had the only way to feel it

Is to be so discouraged so sad. I know that I will Hopefully, I know I'll feel the other feeling Hopefully, I know I'll feel the other feeling again, because scary shit happens in life, but to have a loss that you've kind of accepted 90% in your heart that it's happened, and to have that relieved, and that she's safe, was just, I can't even, it transcends orgasm, it was the best feeling, and then I had to go back

to my act, and that actually was hard to do. It was harder to do my act on the tail of on the end of being that happy than it was when I was scared and sad. That to me was the most magical part is you going back to your act. Cause you were so elated. Like honestly there was like a blow that took over.

You threw your arms up, you were jumping up and down. I was like a child. And then you were like, where was I? Oh, right, pedophile. It was just so funny. You had to go. Naturally, that's where I was after telling that joke a minute before. It really got me into my pedophile trunk.

That's so funny. Yeah, I didn't, because I am very uncomfortable being too emotional on stage. I know people like that a lot, and I just think that people overact when they're trying to celebrate and get attention. I just don't want anyone to ever think I'm doing that. I know, that's what it felt so weird

of finding out a minute later, where I'm like, this now feels like a setup. Oh, yeah, I know, I like try. Well, you know what it would have been? I could see any other comic being like making just such a meal of it and like my dog's missing and like trying to like get sympathy for it. Like I don't want any sympathy for my dog missing.

I really didn't. It could happen to anyone. I'm not special because of it. Like yeah, like my friends can give me up. My friends can have sympathy, but like the audience like using that as a tactic for the audience to be on your side. Also, I'd be like, fuck, I bought tickets to this show

and now the performer's all sad and shit. I didn't want to put that on them, so I didn't indulge in the- I'm not Nanette. Yeah, imagine doing Nanette all about your missing dog. Yeah. Where it's like, is that what this is about for the rest of the show?

Yeah, I couldn't do that to people. It would, you know, it would feel like I was hijacking the show with like, this is about, like, it's always about me, but at least I have jokes, you know? So then when it was really happy, I also was like, I don't wanna be too much in this either, because they don't care, they were, they only knew about my missing dog for 30 seconds. They're not like in this moment as much.

But then I looked back in the video, I was like, I should have stayed in a little bit more and let them celebrate, because I like instantly was like, oh, I looked back at the video, I was like, I should have stayed in a little bit more and let them celebrate, because I instantly was like, oh, I did a joke immediately where I was like, oh no, I can't get sympathy laughs anymore, because I was making jokes about how, you guys have to laugh at that.

My dog's missing. My dog is, you don't know my dog. I was talking about a proposal from Best in Show. And so I immediately made a joke after I was happy, and I was like, oh, that's like not, watching it later on I was like, you should like be a little bit more in the, like let people have a moment with you,

like you don't need to rob them of that because you think that you're being manipulative when you're really not, you're like trying not to be manipulative, so then you are almost. Yeah, they were also thrilled. They were so happy. They were so cute. I just like, I just don't know why I project the audience member, like I, cause I don't

think that way. I would, if I was watching Kelsey Ballerini and her dog was missing and then it was found, I would be so excited to be like, let's celebrate this moment and give it a beat. But I always just think my audience member is like, oh, everything has to be about you, doesn't it? Oh, Nikki, were you sad that you win and win? Well, my mom died of cancer last month. I just thought of the audience member being like,

you're sad about your little missing dog for 13 hours? Like my, you know, whatever. Is that like the voice in your head? Yeah, well, I think it's the voice. It's just like, I just don't want anyone to think that I think I'm cuh. And I think that sometimes people use like, this thing happened to me, to be like, to get attention.

And I just don't, I want attention through comedy. I don't want attention through things that like my birthday, things that I don't have control over. But I think most people in this world are cuh. They're like, they're very like, they are, they are so basic and that we're the cynical people who are like, they don't want this, but they really do. They want a happy ending so much.

They wanna, I need to, like, I learned a lesson both as an artist that night, as a, like, I don't know what I learned as, like, a human. I think I would've probably handled her disappearance the same way today if it happened based on what I did that day. Like, everything was, I think I would have probably handled her disappearance the same way today if it happened based on what I did that day. Everything I felt right about, but I think as an artist I would have

leaned into it a little bit more and had it be a more celebratory moment. Because why not? But there would have been in my mind the whole time someone being like, it's a dog, bitch. I was thinking about Patrice O'Neil's joke about white women kissing their dogs.

Or like there's something like they just get in there and like how it's just like so white and privileged of me to be like, my little doggy who I rescued is gone. And I just like, you don't have a right to be sad. Whereas I sometimes see like, like Elizabeth Smart, I'd be milking that the rest of my life. If I survived something that horrific where I was in the woods, stolen from my house,

and raped every day for months and months in the woods, and no one could find me, I wouldn't be like, I don't really wanna talk about this. I'd be like, no, you all have to listen to my struggle, because nothing you've been through is what I've been through. Yeah, you can tour with that for like 20 years. Yeah.

Like, if my parents die someday, I might have jokes about it, but unless it's like a thing that not everyone eventually has to go through, which is losing our parents, which hopefully that's the way it happens and it's not the other way. There are people in that audience who probably lost their children.

And how dare I get up there and be like, I'm a dog, why do I do that? Because people are, but you have to realize that everyone in that audience is just there to have a nice time and they wanna feel happy. Yeah, that's true. And honestly, if you bought tickets to you. To make my fans, I make my fans a bitch.

I'm sorry to that. No. Why am I making them judgmental bitches, but they're not? No, they wanna see you in all the ways, just like if Elizabeth Smart was touring with her one-woman show, Intense. Oh my god. It's like when a politician posts something online

about there's been a lot of crime, and we've decreased the crime rate in our state this year. We're very proud of the police officers. And then someone comments, you did this whole speech without once mentioning Darfur. Yeah. It's like this has nothing to do with Darfur. Oh, we talked about Darfur for so long and then I haven't heard Darfur.

I was going to say Gaza but then I didn't want to be too edgy. Yeah, exactly. But you're so right. Everything comes back. If you read any comments, you will eventually see someone bringing that up of like, oh, so you care about this and not this. And it's like, yeah, that's the person I plant in. Oh, of course. That's how I view everyone in the world.

But it's like truly the most miserable person online who has never paid to go out into the world. They don't pay to go out into the world. It doesn't even have to be a tragedy. It can be like today's international women's day. Congratulations to international women's day. You don't even mention a tragedy. It can be like, today's International Women's Day. Congratulations to International Women's Day. You don't even mention Darfur. It's like, this is not even a tragedy we're talking about. Darfur is a cute dog name though.

Yeah, Darfur. Oh my god, it is good. So anyway, she was found. How did they find her? She was found, she just. Oh yeah, how did they find her? The part where they found her. My parents were watching Bill Maher. My mom is just like, my poor parents. They found her. My parents were watching Bill Maher.

My mom is just like, my poor parents. They were so sad. They were watching Bill Maher instead of watching Goldie. They were, yeah. That's what they do and that's why she went missing because they care too much about. Yeah, new rule. Keep her in the house.

Well, new rule, I just sent them today like a little blow up kind of pillow you put around her head so she can't sneak through fences when she goes out there. That's right. Oh my God. So we're preventing it. And I put an air tag around her neck.

That's what Goldie deserves though. She should be shunned a little bit. She needs to wear a donut thing that has a donut print on it for some reason. It was the only one on Amazon, 22 bucks, arriving tomorrow, Mom. But no, they were just watching Bill Maher, 10, 9.30 at night, and,

because I see, like in the video where my dad is like talking to Goldie, I see Bill Maher froze on TV, but yeah, they were watching Bill Maher, and then they have like, that, there's like an outdoor door to a deck that's like on a second story that you have to like climb up these stairs to get the deck.

And Goldie came back through the hole in the fence from which she came, or maybe they left the gate open, I don't know what. And she came back in and came up through the back door where she would have originally gone to go get food in the morning. Wait, she came back on her own? On her own.

On her own. Whoa. Is she scratched at the door? Oh my God, I'm gonna miss. Scratched at the door. Hakeem Jeffries on Quilt-Eye. Oh my God, that's so funny. I don't know where Wilmar is going to be this weekend.

What casino? Yeah. So she just scratched at the door like, I'm ready to eat. She had like a Ferngully journey or whatever that movie is where the dog please. And no one touched her all day. That's what I know is no one caught her all day because she would be with us. Like she just was on her own all day. That's what I know is no one caught her all day because she would be with us.

She just was on her own all day having an adventure. I think she probably chased something once she got out of the fence, got too far away, lost the scent, and then all day was, I think she was just lost and was like, probably went through modes of having fun and sniffing to being really scared, and then eventually just got little whiffs of scents of the neighborhood

and got back, because there's no other reason. Because I was talking to Anya and she was like, she just was out all day and I was like, no, she would not have stayed, she was hungry, she wanted to get back, there's no way she would have been out longer than 10 minutes, ever. She's never gone that long. She definitely lost the scent,

and then she picked it up again. Because she's smart, she always knows like a mile away from my parents house She like knows she could smell the air and like knows we're getting close So she's she's smart and she found her way back, but god damn it every dog I feel like every dog has one adventure like that in their life time ever get out Jack gotta Jack was I was in New York on Long Island with Jack in the backyard and my backyard in Long Island doesn't have a fence. It has a fence around the back but not on the side so you can easily just walk out or walk in.

And Jack never runs away, you know Jack, he's just kind of like, but he was younger at the time and he caught the scent of a squirrel and he started chasing it. And yeah, he wasn't gone for that long but it was a little adventure where he just was in the neighborhood. How long? Probably like an hour. That's long. Yeah, where he was like, he was out and I was long, but it was a little adventure where he just was in the neighborhood. How long? Probably like an hour. That's long. Yeah, where he was out and I was like,

it took me like 10 minutes to realize like, wait, where is he? And then yeah, we got on bikes. And then you found him that way? Because we knew like he couldn't be that far away based on the amount of time he's been missing. But he was pretty far. Had stories about this where their dog goes missing

and it was eight hours, it was nine hours, there was one that was like three days. So I was like not completely hopeless. I really was like, oh, this is gonna be one of those. But yeah, they just, she came back with a pierced belly button and a little tattoo. She got a while, she's pregnant. Sean sheepishly asked in the green room,

is Goldie spayed or neutered or whatever? And I was like, yeah, and he was like, good. Oh shit, you're right. Cause when dogs get away and they're not, they come back, preggers. Oh my god, if that dog got pregnant, she's too little to be pregnant. All right, so do we go to break or do we?

You can if you want to. Can we do it and then we come back? Sure. Big announcement when we get back it and then we come back? Sure. Big announcement when we get back. We'll be right back after this. Love at first swipe? I highly doubt it. What's your biggest red flag?

No, no, no. What's your ultimate green flag? These days, reality TV and social media have us thinking love is instant. We're marrying strangers at first sight, we're finding love through walls, or we're even judging people by balloon pops. But what really makes a relationship blast?

Listen to Cheeky's and Chill Season Four as part of the My Kultura podcast network available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

All right, I'm back. So besties, I have an announcement and what? Oh my God. What? I mean, it's just, this is like your dog goes missing suddenly. Yeah. Besties, you're about to lose your dog and I really hate to do this to you. There's no easy way to say this.

So I just will say it. This is the last episode of the Niki Glazer podcast and that is a real sentence, it is true. The podcast is ending. I am so sorry to tell you this way. I know, I'm just gonna let it sink in. I know that there's just no easy way to tell people when something is over.

I could have told you weeks ago, but then you would have been sad then, and then you would have just been sad for two weeks. I think as a listener, I would be like, why did she wait till the last episode to tell us that's really shitty? But I think ultimately, the episodes that follow an announcement that it's the last episode are not great.

There's a vibe that would be different. And just know that this was the way it had to happen, both from what I wanted to do and other forces. So this is how it's happening. And I'm really sorry if it hurts you to hear that. And let's just talk about why. I think you probably already know. My life has gotten a lot more insane.

It has been for a couple years now, but it is just into a different realm at this point of just demand and time consuming. And it's not like I don't enjoy this podcast. It's not like I don't look forward to it because all of those things are still true. I just don't have the energy to, I want to have the energy to love it every time I do it. And that's starting to wane for me.

It's not at that point yet, but I could see with the, with what I've got going on the rest of the year, it would have started to be taxing. And I don't wanna give you a product that I'm showing up and I don't wanna make you the first show Hartford Crowd, where I'm getting through some sort of pain to deliver a product. I don't want that from my artists

and I don't think you would want that either. And I am very sad about it because this obviously is very special to me. I've been doing it for four years and even before that I have fans from the last podcast I did, U Up. I have fans from probably even the Not Safe podcast who have been listening to me podcast and even before then let's go to the one I did with Anya. I forget the name of it. Even before, what was it? We Know Nothing. We Know Nothing, yes, thank you. And then before that, you had to be there.

Like I've been podcasting for over 10 years. I've only taken a couple years break, I think, in that time. And I will again at some point in the future, but I need to have this break and I will miss it because it is, you already know this besties, like I talk on this podcast in a way that I don't talk anywhere else in my life. I think you probably see me on things here and there.

You come to see my standup and you go, oh, that's like the Nikki we know from the podcast, but it's not a place that I can't be this way and this open and this kind of free and loose anywhere else in my life. And I've really appreciated having that outlet. It's meant so much to me. I will miss it so freaking much. You don't even understand.

I'm already like thinking of things I wanted to tell you this week. And I'm like, well, I can't fit it in because this is the goodbye episode. There's going to be times where I'm like, damn it. I wish I could tell the besties that because but the good news is, is that because of this, I'm going to be forced to inject that kind of person I am on this podcast that you love so much, because you might not be a fan of my other outlets of entertainment. You might be someone who goes, I like her podcast, I don't like her stand up. I like her on, I like her podcast, I don't like her on these shows or the roast, that's

not her. I understand that because this is a different version of me that is more authentic, less manicured, literally. And I understand wanting and missing that and I'll miss it in myself. So what I'm saying to you is that because of the void of this, you will start to see that vibe of me injected into the other things I do, because I will have to put things I do because I will have

to put them out there because I will miss putting it out here. So that means more TikToks that are more like this kind of vibe, just more in my standup that's this kind of vibe. I just know that the Nikki that you know on this podcast that you're going to miss will show up in other places. And I understand if you don't want to support those places yet and you're going to be like, you know what, if she's not doing the podcast, I don't wanna support her, is totally your prerogative and you can wait

till I maybe podcast again in the future when I have the time and the energy for it. This isn't an I Heart thing, I have loved being at I Heart, they let me be who I want, they have never given me a single note, almost to the detriment of them, to be honest with you, they should have. They have let me be myself, they have given me everything that I've ever wanted for this podcast,

they have never forced guests on me, they have never forced me to do any kind of marketing or campaign or anything, a lot of podcast networks do. It's, I have been so lucky to be with them. Anytime any comedian asks me, should I do a podcast with iHeart? I'm like, 100% yes. I don't even talk to them.

They only deal with Noah, and Noah has loved her relationship with them. Like, they just, they let me be me, and that has been such a gift. And so I've gotten just to have on my friends that I love, and you've gotten to know through me, like that's the one thing I won't miss about the podcast is people asking me if they can be a guest on the show

and me having to explain that I only have on my friends. And then they go, but I'm your friend. And I go, I think we should, you should reassess that statement. No, that's the one thing that's, I was trying to think of like, what won't I miss about the podcast? And that's the only thing is people being like,

hey, I've got to promote this thing. Can I be on the podcast? And me having to ask thing is people being like, hey, I've got to promote this thing. Can I be on the podcast? And me having to ask Noah, like, how do I tell this person, like, I only have on my parents and my comedian friends who I like am most comfortable around because this is a comedian friend. Like, that's the only thing I won't miss.

It has never felt like a burden. It's always been fun. And I just have to, I just have to move on for now because I need to focus on the other things that are just in such demand in my life. And I hope you understand and I hope you can kind of see it through your own life of like things you've had to let go that you love because you just can't fit it anymore.

You know, like you love going to yoga, you love meditating, you love going to therapy, things that are good for your soul, they fall by the wayside when life gets busy. That's what's happening right now. This podcast is, it's felt like something that has been extra that I get to do that is so fun.

It's never felt like work, but now it, unfortunately I have to say goodbye to it. This version of it for the foreseeable future. And I'm trying not to be trite about it. I'm trying to be matter of fact and like tell you the facts. And I'm sorry that I'm feeling, I'm seemingly emotionless. I don't know if you just noticed earlier in the show, but I don't like to be emotional

about things that are actually very painful. So I'm not letting in the pain that I'm feeling around this, but I promise you I am. I am just as sad as you are, and I know that I'm in control of this, and this is my choice to stop the podcast. But I promise you it's gonna make my life a lot and this is my choice to stop the podcast. But I promise you it's gonna make my life a lot, like, you know, this is work.

And it's going to free me up to be mentally better for the people in my life. And I hope that you want that for me. And I promise you, you're gonna find another podcast. There is another podcast out there for you. I'm not trying to be like, it's not you, it's me, and there's a better girl out there for you. There's maybe not, but there are other people doing podcasts

that are just as honest, just as loose, just as silly as mine. Go to podcasts on Reddit and ask, put out a post and say, here's what I like in a podcast, and people will recommend ones to you. I can't off the top of my head, you know I listen to Lost Cultures, I would really steer you towards that

because it is like A plus banter and chit chat and like honesty. Well we call our listeners besties because they're our best friends. And we started this podcast being best friends. And one of the things that make us best friends is that we support each other. And when you see your friend thriving, like you want her or him to just get the most out

of it. I know that's going to be the overall vibe. I know some people are going to be upset and really mad at me and that's fine too because this happens with best friends. But like I would like to also say that's such a good reminder, Noah. Like like best friends, you can move to a different city. This is like a best friend leaving your city. You're still gonna see me in other ways.

Like, we're still gonna keep in touch. I'm not disappearing. It's gonna be, but it's not gonna be as frequent, right? And so that is, and it's sad and it sucks, but my husband got a job in another town and I have to move. And you gotta make other friends. Well, it's you that got the job.

You have such an exciting year ahead and there's so many things that are coming down the pike that when people see them happen, free, they're gonna be so happy. In my analogy, your girlfriends get jobs themselves and they don't just follow where their husbands go. But I'm talking about your best friend in the late 80s. Yeah.

That was the only reason you would lose her is that her husband got a job in marketing in DC. So, but yeah, but here's the other thing is like, you just pick back where you left off as soon as it becomes possible to be best friends again. So like, I obviously will come back. I would bet everything on it that I will re-enter the podcast game at some point.

I would love to do with iHeart. iHeart, listen up. Throw your hat in the ring when that's time to do that. You know I love you. I don't have any plans on that. I'm not thinking about another podcast. I'm not thinking about when. It is like, I am going to be single for a while and be someone who doesn't have a podcast.

It might be a long while, might be, I don't know. But when I'm ready to do that again, I hope you jump back on board. If you don't, I understand if you found someone else. Just know that I will really, really miss you guys and that it doesn't have to end. Like you can still come to my shows. You can still, a girl gave me a note on stage this weekend.

I wouldn't recommend that because we're about to amp up security. And so rushing the stage at the end of the show might get you in trouble. But if you give it to the merch booth, they will deliver it to me, right, Emily? Okay. And then also, we're gonna keep

the Nikki Glaser pod Instagram open. I'll still post things on that when I think of you guys and remember things. And you can still DM me. I mean, a lot of you already slipped in my DMs. There's ways to stay in touch and I feel all the love and I hope that our friendship doesn't have to end with this.

I really just want you to look at this like your best friend is moving out of the country and that she's still alive, but you guys, your friendship isn't gonna be as tight and as frequent anymore, but that doesn't mean that the connection isn't there. Right. Yeah, yeah. And I wanna add that I quality is different. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

And I want to add that I'll be fine. Sean and Brian are in Nikki's writers team. They're still going to be collaborating. And then you'll have Emily on the road with you forever and it'll be so fun. And this was a decision, like I would understand like if I was a listener and I'm like, oh, she's gotten new people in her life recently. And like maybe this is their influence or something. If you know, like if you've been listening for the past few like year or whatever,

like all the people that have been added to my life, Brian, Sean, Emily, Taylor, Chris, like all these people that have become major stays in my life, like they're all like the best people ever. This isn't a decision that was like inspired by any of them or has taken me away from something. This is literally coming from me. I want to write movies. I want to make TV shows. I can't do that when I have other stuff going on. I'm clearing space in my life, not just with the podcast, but with a lot of other things,

to try other types of things in my life, not just with the podcast, but with a lot of other things, to try other types of things in my life. So Brian, me and Sean and Emily are all going to be producing stuff together. Noah is going to obviously stay in my life on Girl's Chat. We have a friendship that is not even- Friendship's number one. Based on, what'd you say? Our friendship is number one. I totally forgot that we have to even make that clear to people.

Season eight of our friendship is starting December 3rd. Yeah, that's the great part is I think when you leave a job, you leave behind so many people that you worked with and saw every day, but my relationship with Noah's not going to change really at all. The podcast was just something we did in addition to our friendship, you know what I mean? And Noah's going to be fine. She is an incredible producer, and you will be able to find her work elsewhere,

and we'll let you know about that when we can. I guess via our socials, Noah? Yeah. Will people know where to find it? Okay, cool. And anything you guys would like to add? I'm sorry, just monologized for an hour. I just can't believe that you did that whole announcement

without once mentioning Darfur. It's really upsetting. I do want to say thank you. I mean, I came in midstream on this podcast. I wasn't in the Not Safe podcast, so I guess to some people I was familiar, but to a great 85% of them I was a stranger. Maybe some people hated me at the beginning and then came around to those people thank you. But yeah I appreciate being like embraced by the besties I got so much so many nice

messages over the last two years from besties saying you know nice things about me or even just like helping me out when I'm searching for a mattress or getting my gallbladder removed or whatever the fuck I was dealing with. And yeah, this is a great, incredible group of fans. It is. And such nice people. And I was just, I'm just so happy that- They're special, right? Like, you feel it, right? They're an incredible group of fans. It's different. I want to give you guys credit for that because you're just probably one fan and you don't understand the group that you're in. Or maybe you have met them at shows or in subreddits or whatever, but you're all just

different than all my other fans. I know I've always told you that, but you know me better than... Best friends outside this room don't know me as well as you guys know me. If you listen to the podcast, you are a ride or die. Like I will always love you. Like I will always love you for loving me when I've been at my worst on this podcast, when I've come in in bad moods and depressed.

And I was always allowed to be myself. I never feared the backlash from you guys. You don't know how freeing that is as an artist. I do not take it for granted. Did I get it right? Usually I say granted, because I try to do the opposite of the what. Well, you know.

You got it. I really don't. I hope you stay with me. I hope you follow me wherever I go next. I hope you support the other things I do. But it's okay if you don't. I'll be okay, and you have every reason to be so upset and so disappointed. Let that in. I was thinking about this and so like disappointed, like let that in.

But like, I was thinking about this and I was like, God, I don't wanna disappoint them. Like I was just like, oh, how do I say this? Like, do I really do this? Like, I just don't want people to be mad at me, especially not besties who have like the best hearts and why would I be giving up on this whole group of this fan base that has been so supportive

through thick and thin? And it's like, I just was like, you know what? My favorite things have all ended at some point and I've had to get used to Seinfeld being in my life in a different way than the show Seinfeld. And I've had to watch comedians in cars. You know, yeah. Or I've had to, friends ended.

And that was devastating. Like, Veep ended, like things that have mattered. Succession, like you guys have worked through me. Like, White Lotus, this season, I am so obsessed with White Lotus in a way that I know besties are obsessed with this podcast. Like, I am wrapped up in it.

It's going to, things end, everything ends. And that's not me being, you know, being flippant about it, but just know that I've been through this before with things that I love and so I'm commiserating with you and I understand and even the way I feel about this podcast is different than the way you feel about it. And so I understand what a loss this is to some of you and I also understand that some of you are like, this is the first episode I've listened to, chill out bitch.

I would say most people probably have not heard every single episode of this podcast or of all of your podcasts and like a lot of the episodes are evergreen it's not like you have to know it's not like topical stuff about Barack Obama or something. You can go back. You can go back and listen. Relive the days. And I think we'd be remiss to not mention Andrew here and how important impactful he was for the first two and a half years

of the podcast. And he'd be here right now, but he moved to New York. So yeah, he moved to New York. Gonna be the only one who's not fine. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

But he's also moved onto a new chapter in his life. I wonder, could you call him? I would love to. The thing is, yeah, Andrew, I wanted on here, but he just moved to New York. The way you guys handled Andrew leaving the show and then Brian taking his place, and that really was extraordinary

because that was a rough part of the show for me as well. Like that all came out. That was not what I wanted. And Brian was what I wanted, ultimately, when there was a space for him. But Andrew leaving, that wasn't anything anyone wanted and it was what I wanted, ultimately, when there was a space for him. But Andrew leaving, that wasn't anything anyone wanted, and it was uncomfortable. And so we've been through some shit on this show,

and you guys rolled with it, and you accepted me, and I just really appreciate you so much, and you've seen me through a crazy change in my life, and you've loved everyone that I've introduced you to. You love my parents, you love my boyfriend, you love my friends, you love Taylor, you love my boyfriend. You love my friends. You love Taylor. You love my sister. You love my brother-in-law. Like it's, you love my dogs.

I really appreciate the love. It feels like family. And I'm going to really miss connecting with you all twice a week. We're going to get Andrew on the phone. And I just, I want you to know I love you a lot and it doesn't have to change. You can still comment on myself. I'll read it sometimes. The person you're trying to... Andrew, I'll text him. Class again, Andrew.

Thank you so much, Emily. Yeah, so that... But yeah, I'm so sorry to tell you this way, but this is a glazer exit. You guys know I don't like goodbyes. I worked on it with my therapist. She said that when I left her, I had to go to three sessions before I left her. But I think that was just a way to get me to like, to convince me to stay. But she was like, you don't like goodbyes. You say them very quick and then you leave.

I don't, who does? Like, why do people like to revel in like, I don't like this. Like, I'm already getting like emotional talking about it too much. It's embarrassing to cry. Oh, Andrew's calling back. Yes.

Andrew? Yo. Hey, it's the last podcast. I just told the besties. It's the last one. I broke the news. We're talking about the show. We're reminiscing about the good times.

And obviously you were a huge part of the show and even continued to be in the end. And I just wanted to know if you had anything to say to the besties. What show? FBoy Island 3. Yeah. The Andrew and Nikki show. Happy to have you on and be part of it. You're an up and comer. I saw something in you that no one else saw. You know?

Damn. Thanks, man. And I was like, you know what? This person needs this. And it was a pleasure. It was honestly the best year and eight months of my life. I really did enjoy it. And I mean, well, maybe that was a little far, but I really did enjoy it.

Yeah, the last couple of months of that year and eight months wasn't what we were. We were headed for divorce, but now we're good. Yeah, now we're good. I mean, it can only go up from those last two months. No, it really was incredible. And the besties were great. And we really I just remember every once in a while, we'll be like, it's Wednesday folks, you know what that means or whatever, you know, just like

the little terms that we came up with. And it felt like a piece in time that doesn't even feel real because it was like COVID. Yeah, you moved to St. Louis to start the podcast with me. We started in the Cayman Islands. Well, that happens every four to five, but yeah. But we started the show when we were filming FBoy One, and we couldn't even talk about FBoy One. We were in the Cayman Islands. Isn't that where we started the show?

We did the show everywhere. We did the show in Europe. We did the show in Cabo. We did the show in, where were we doing FBoy Three, Lovers and Liars, up in Malibu. We've done this, I've done the show Where were we doing FBoy3, Lovers and Liars, up in Malibu? I've done this show from so many different hotels, but you moved to St. Louis to start the podcast,

and you lived there and met your wife there because of this podcast. Wow. I don't want me to take credit, but you're welcome. Yes, I mean, that's why I didn't give you a a speech at my wedding because I thought that's what you would say No, I honestly yeah, it was it definitely was a life shift and a career shift and I think it you know being doing four shows a week with you. I Don't know. Yeah, it started out as four shows a week, which was insane.

And I know everyone's like, why don't you just whittle it down to one show a week? Guys, let's not play that game. Don't, I've been through that already. Don't play that game with me. But yeah, it was just, it was so much fun. And it almost feels like I'm trying to remember the best times and I swear to God it almost feels like when you're trying to remember your best times of high

school or something and it's like, I don't even, I can't, it just was like hanging out. It was just the best hangs. I always just felt like all the besties, you were just, you're always there with us listening. It's a conversation that involves you even though you're always there with us listening. It's a conversation that involves you even though you're not there. And so I felt, I always feel you, you're always with us. And yeah, this isn't that sad. I mean, it is.

I don't wanna take away people's feelings, but it's- Oh no, I have cancer. Okay, good, I'm so glad something is. Yeah. I mean, you will eventually, but you might as well announce it now. Won't we all? In between two and three, I just don't have healthcare. But we'll figure it out. Come on. How is New York, by the way? We just moved into our place and we're in the Upper West Side. But you know this place called Central

Park? It is, I think I've went five times in 10 years, it really is like the best place on earth, and I never. What are you doing there? Yeah, maybe if you're not John Lennon. Yeah. First of all, John Lennon shot himself, and. Oh, shit. I don't know.

I actually walked by that building the other day, and I was like, Grena, there's, John Lennon? I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is.

I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is.

I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is. I know who John Legend is know who that is John Lennon. I know John legend is My god Wow, I'm not you know, I'm never one to be like Emily come on I bet it was that was with um What was that with? It was a comedian that I definitely should not have known. Oh George Carlin. Why would I know who that is?

Yeah, well if you're not in comedy, I don't think my wife knew George Carlin either. No I didn't. Thank you. No I think that was I don't think I just go you need to get to like I understood but John Lennon I don't understand why you don't know that. No. Oh no there was one it was Marie Antoinette was one where you didn't know and I go that's I, that's not because I grew up with her. You had like, first certain generation. But I think Henry, right? That's Henry's wife?

Uh, I think so. No, no, Kate Louie. Okay, thank you, Rashad. I mean, like, I just know about cake and stuff. I remember when Napoleon was coming to power and it was really impactful What bad don't know okay Has a song about him I just want to say it is truly wild that you don't know who John Lennon is but Like right before we started going like we we gotta introduce you to Tate McCray.

Oh my God. We gotta do a Tate Tate John. Right before the podcast, Emily was like, don't worry, Sean, we're gonna do a Tate McCray deep dive very soon. Because you guys always say it to me, but I can never say it to you. That's true.

I know, but Tate McCray isn't a beetle. Yeah. She might be. Volkswagen beetle. She might be. Maybe a Volkswagen beetle. She's not a beetle. I'm open to hearing about it. At least she might be. As saying from someone who doesn't know what a beetle is.

You were almost thinking of it as like, the way that you could be like, she's like a legend. Yes. She could be a beetle. No, she can't. She literally can't. It's a band in the sixties. Oh my God, Paul McCartney? Yeah. No, she can't. She literally can't. It was a band in the 60s. Oh my God, Paul McCartney?

Yeah. Okay, what was he? He played the guitar? Yeah, but he was in The Beatles. Okay. Do you know The Beatles? Yeah. Can you name a song?

There's a song like Love in it, right? Yep. I think most of them. Yeah, honestly. Or every song from that decade. Yeah, there's a show called Love in Vegas. Yes. They were throwing around the word love.

They were really love bombing the 1960s. They really were. It was all love me do, love, love, love. I know who a lot of these people are. Ish. Yeah. Okay, well, Andrew, we're going to say goodbye, but thank you so much for... No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Oh, this is the zoom all over again with the zoom. You know that I have the power to hang up on you, right? So you wanna say your goodbyes? Do you? Do you? Do you want that? Yeah, I do. Wanna get canceled?

Oh my God. Don't do this to me. You wanna get canceled? You wanna get John Legend? What are you gonna do in? You wanna get John Legend? What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do?

You wanna get John Legend? Stop it. Wait, so what are you? Am I gonna do in what are you gonna do what are you gonna do wait so what are you doing in Central Park today I already walked around the Jacqueline Kennedy you dumb. I learned that. Okay. I'm gonna probably get fed by some pigeons and uh. Wait, you're. Fed by pigeons? Yeah. He's turning it on its head. Okay. They might be AI but they're following me. Okay. I go to the John Legend Museum and walk around. They sing about love. Okay, well thanks for having me on,

thanks for thinking of me. Yeah, always, love you buddy. Hope to see you all soon. All right, love you Andrew, bye. Okay, so, final thought. It's over. This is truly the final thought. This is truly the final thought.

The final thought is, life will go on, nothing really is going to change except you're not going to have this like bi-weekly. Is it bi-weekly? No, I think that's what you say if it's every two weeks. I think that's what people, like I always said bi-weekly for every two weeks, but I think bi-weekly.

Means twice a week? Yeah, twice a week. Yeah, bi-week I always said bi-weekly for every two weeks, but I think bi-weekly. Means twice a week? Yeah, twice a week. Yeah, bi-weekly. This bi-weekly podcast. That's what a pigeon told me. They feed you knowledge. That, yeah, you're not, the only thing that's gonna change is that you're not gonna have this like access to me,

but just know that I'm all right and that you actually, we have a friendship that transcends a podcast listener relationship. Especially if you've listened to more than I would say five episodes, I'm like, you're in with me. You will always, if you ever see me, I'm saying like 30 years from now when I'm old and gray and I am, you see me in an airport getting wheeled down the runway by a nice man, and I'm muttering to myself, and you can say, hey, I'm a bestie, and I'll spit at you,

because I'm having cognitive decline. But just know somewhere deep inside me, in my subconscious, I feel a deep affection for you. No, I'm serious, like, saying you're a bestie to me in public if you ever see me, and at a show, cheering a certain way. I can tell when there's a bestie to me in public if you ever see me and like you know at a show like she's sharing a certain way like I can tell when there's a bestie but if you ever run into me in public just know that you you could always ask for a

picture you can always have a conversation with me you have like you have a VIP access to my heart and my time that other fans do not have forever you have that as a bestie all you have to do is have listened to five or more episodes of the show and heard this statement. But it's true, like the rest of my life, no matter how famous I get, and I have bodyguards or something crazy, like if there's a bestie, I will say let her in, let's get over here, shoot me. You can, please don't hurt me. But yeah, you guys are like my friends. There's not like a wall up that I sometimes have to put up for other fans.

And I don't mean to say that that means you can, let's just be cool about it, you know what I mean? But just know that you guys are the real ones. I know you're the real ones. It will never change, that will never change. And that someday we will have this relationship again in another way because podcasting and being this intimate with people

and talking long form is what I'm about. I just have to take a break from it right now. And I don't know how long that break will be. It might be years and years and years, just like buckle up though. And just know that I'll let you back in and when I'm ready to. And I love you.

And I'm sorry that I ended it so abruptly. But I think in the end that is was actually what was for the best because I don't like to wallow in goodbyes and maybe that's something I need to work on and you can write me and tell me that it is but that is I'll work on it. You know I'm an ever-changing person I don't do things perfectly and that's what this podcast has been about more than anything is that I have been a complete mess, and you guys have still accepted me, and I don't say things that are right.

I'm not always eloquent. I say dumb things that I, you know, in retrospect, I'm like, I shouldn't have said that. I should take that out. I left it in, and this is another one of those. So if I fucked up this goodbye, just know it's like in line with everything else this podcast was about.

And you should expect no less from me. I wanna just give some thank yous to iHeart before we leave and say goodbye forever. And not forever, just in this format. I wanna thank Connell Byrne, Will Pearson, Carrie Lieberman at iHeart Podcast, obviously Will Farrell and the Big Money Players, Jack O'Brien, thank you so much Jack, and all the comedy team at Big Money Players. You

guys have been so supportive. It's been awesome being a part of that select group of amazing comedy podcasts. That's where you should go to supplement if you haven't already. Thank you, Nathan Otosky, for having us at the Super Bowl, for all the marketing duties that you've done to make this podcast work and make money. That was a dream come true for me. Thank you for that. Jesus Christ. Thank you Nathan. Ad sales team, Christine Jordan, thank you so much for keeping this podcast going and to all the companies throughout the years who I've done ads for. Thank you for being so cool and never giving

You've always made it seem, you've never, like she's the best producer that a person could ever dream of, like, always, never, you know, so many times I would have ads that, like, I should have given her the day before, and she gets me extensions. She's never once made me feel bad about anything.

She's never once communicated that on her end, things are really stressful, and, like, she is just such a pro, has always been so supportive of everything I do, always looking out for me, of like, hey, maybe let's talk about this. Maybe let's not talk about this, but it's always so gentle in presenting that. She's been an amazing friend,

an amazing part of the show, let's not even forget that. And so I just wanna thank you so much for all the work that you've put into it that I don't even know about. Like I know it's like, and through your pregnancy, through being a new mom, through moving to Tucson, through your marriage, like we've, yeah, I mean, so many life changes and- But I can only do my job as good as I do

because I work with such a wonderful person. And I wanna thank Brian also for being so helpful in all these situations, getting to meet Sean and Emily. And it was awesome working with Andrew and him sending me files and stuff the best he can. I just had the best time. Yeah, thank you so much, Brian, for coming into the show. And at a time where people are like, what's going on?

And just writing with it and being such a fun person to talk at. And you never made it about you, even though a lot of comedians would. Like you just hold with being an amazing co-host in a way that you've never made me feel bad about talking over you when I know I have a bazillion times and I felt bad on my own.

But you just like have always been so supportive. Such a good friend, so funny. Besties love you, everyone's fallen in love with you. So thank you so much for riding this out with me. Yeah, thank you. Thank's fallen in love with you. So thank you so much for riding this out with me. Yeah, thank you. Thank you for having me. It was so cool to hang out. Yeah, it really was. And what an incredible time capsule in your life these last two years.

Yes, true. To have bi-weekly recaps of these moments. I do think this is something you'll look back on for a long time. To be able to just go back and listen to the Day after the roast in like a comfortable setting. It's not like you're on Good Morning America You're here like talking your friends to go back and listen to the day after the globes Oh my god, these are gonna be things that you look back on like in 30 years when you're when you're demented you're spitting on I mean truly like I was thinking about I went I went through like breakups, falling in love, like having immense bouts of depression,

immense bouts of elation, COVID, like there were so many things I went through on this podcast and whether or not I was talking explicitly about them, like I was able to like emote and get it out on the show and I felt accepted and even when the podcast wasn't at its best because I wasn't at my best, you guys like hung in there and maybe we lost a few of you but like I like I just always felt like you can come and go and like they accept me and it's just your artists are it's really rare that an artist gets this kind of platform and that's what makes podcasting so special to me at least is it just feels so intimate it's such a good good friendship. And it's just different than like fan artist connection. It's better than that.

And yeah. Final shout out is to Anya who was also here for so much of this and also made the theme song to the podcast. Anya's theme song is such an earworm in like the best sense of that word. People love it so much, keep singing it. And Anya, yeah, thank you to Anya

for being on so many episodes of the show and being such an integral part to just the fabric of this show through the years. And just is someone I can always talk about in that best. He just instantly who I'm talking about. Girls chat, shout out to all of them. They all listen, they've always been supportive. And Sean, thank you for joining the show

in these last few months and being such a regular and fun addition. Like people just falling in love with you as well. It's an honor, it's an honor, and I'm sorry I'm not gay to the listeners. People are really disappointed you're not gay. And then thank you to Emily for running my shit. And also Emily is a bestie,

so it was important for me to talk to her a lot these past couple weeks when we were planning this last episode. I know it seems like it's unplanned, but this was, I did give it a lot of thought of what I was gonna say, whether I hit all those points, I don't know. But Emily, I really talked to her

about what the besties want, and I'm grateful that it was in line with what I really talked to her about like what the besties want and I'm grateful that it was in line with what I thought that they would want. But yeah, so you, in my inner circle, you have someone representing you besties in Emily who's gonna keep me on. Was a bestie before. Before.

Yes, and who is going to keep me that same person that you know and love and is, you know, is turned into my best friend who is with to keep me that same person that you know and love and is turned into my best friend who is with me all the time. And I'm in good hands with a bestie. I literally have a bestie working for me now through this podcast is how she even ended up working for me, right?
