Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. The Nikki Glaser Podcast. Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh. The Nikki Glaser Podcast. Here's Nikki. Hey, guys.

Happy Wednesday to you out there. It's the Nikki Glaser Podcast. Coming in hot. Busy little morning at Shea Glaser here. Woke up. Andrew Offord, go get me my Starbucks. Called in the order. Mobile order.

He went and picked it up for me. Very nice. Oh, God damn it. What the hell is on my new green dress? Why can't I just not stain things? Everything. This is why I can't wear light colored things. Everything gets poop color on it.

What is this? Oh, God. Everything. Literally, I am on right now a carpet that yesterday during a podcast, I knocked over the entire gigantic coffee onto the carpet and I haven't even cleaned it. I don't even know what to do with it. Like, I don't know what what to do. Like you sop up the stain. I just let it run in. I don't even go sop it up. I let it dry. You want to see this Noah? Take a look at this. Sure. Really I think it's going to be worse than you could think. Oh wow. Yeah it looks like I had diarrhea everywhere on it. It

didn't get anywhere on the chair which is the thing'm, I don't care about this rug anymore. Roomba keeps getting caught on it. And, and like, it's like Roomba ate, you know, stopped at McDonald's, I'm trying to think, Del Taco and got a number eight. And every time he comes in this room and tries to go over this carpet, he gets, Roomba gets confused and disoriented every time he accidentally, if I leave this door open when Roomba is working the apartment, he will wander in here. He will get caught on this shaggy carpet. And then I will find him an hour later in the corner just like hitting the wall like over and over.

Like, you know, a girl playing a video game. Whenever, you know, Sarah Talamash's comic used to have a great joke about like girls playing video games. And it's always just like the person in the corner just like jumping in the corner wall. Do you know what I'm talking about? Like the bot, you can't, you don't know how to like move it. It's a sexist joke, but she's spot on. It's based on her experience. I think playing video games, don't write me and be like, girls are great at video games. I know. But whenever I pick up a console, I am that soldier in the corner. Just, uh, you know, trying to high kick into the wall.

Okay, so anyway, that's what Roomba does. He gets caught. And then I go, Roomba, what's going on with you? And he's just going, like talking to himself in the wall. I pick him up and I go, let's flip you over. And I sit him down and I go, let me rub your tummy. And I go, Roomba, it's okay because he's going, he's going crazy because I'm picking him up and he wants to work. But I go, Roomba it's okay because he's going he's going crazy because I'm picking him up but he wants to work but I go Roomba you're sick and then I open up his

stomach and do some surgery and sure enough there's a bunch of goddamn fluff from this stupid carpet because he got ahead of himself Roomba you know you can't go up on that carpet um and so I got to get rid of it so I was kind of glad when I knocked over a gigantic coffee yesterday when I was on Jason Ellis's podcast with Andrew and just spilled it everywhere. And I was like, you know what? Good. I'm glad. I didn't even want that coffee and I didn't want this carpet. And he was like, wow, mate, is that the way you look at everything in life and I was like yes it is sometimes if I've taken my meds I can see life like that that you know what that needed to spill because god what would I be talking about today if that didn't spill god only knows I might say something that could get me canceled and now then my life would be over but instead I'm talking about the spell man this room is a mess

you ever look at your life and you just go well I've really let it go in here I've got three Zevia cans I've got an Amazon Prime empty package now this is in my podcast studio studio you guys the one you haven't seen yet because we are still getting it ready it's supposed to be like a clean off hands room if my mom who designed this room with her friend debbie they like you know styled it if she saw the mess that was going on in here she'd go nicky god damn it now why'd you spill that on that rug and i go mom the rug was never even part of the look you didn't even like the rug i got it for free from a company we were gonna get rid of it anyway but you didn't even like the rug. I got it for free from a company. We were going to get rid of it anyway. But you didn't even sop it up. You just left it.

Well, you know, Mom, I don't know what you're supposed to do when you're a clean person. If you spill something, I know that there's like a rule. There's on Reddit sometimes it's like cleaning guides or it's like it'll be like simple life hacks. And it'll be like for this stain, it'll be like for this stain use this for this stain use this for blood just give up and bury the body in the woods for you know a tar stain use baking soda it has all the solutions so i could look it up i did buy a little bissell um pet cleaner thing that i put together the other day and then I put the liquid in. I got it all ready and I go, I got nothing to clean. I don't know what I would even use this on. Now I got

something. I got a stain. But when my clothes get stained, there's something about it that makes me so depressed because I don't know where the stain came from. I just steamed this stupid dress so I would look not wrinkled all day and respect myself. I go, Nikki, no one's going to see you today. You have no plans. You're not really going to be on camera for anything, even in your Zoom life. Why don't you just have a not wrinkled dress? So I steamed it and then still got some dirty chocolate poopy brown color on me.

And I'll get it out later we'll see what happens I do want to know if anyone has ever had um if anyone could let me know how to get pot resin out of a brand new um dry clean only gray silky sweater that I spent $100 on for some reason. It has a bedazzled skull on the back of it. Talk about a TJ Maxx find. That's TJ Maxx for you. A sweater that looks cute from the front and on the back of it, it has a bedazzled skull. But you know what? I saw the skull and I go, that actually fits with my feeling today. I just get overwhelmed with stains. I just feel so dirty. Like, um, my, uh, depression is feeling like a stained person. Like inherently nothing I own will ever be clean. Even when I clean it, it still is stained. There's something on my soul that's stained. I think that's a common

feeling for people. Like, I don't know, Andrew can like clean up his room and feel pride about it. And be like, I'm clean now. Like he's cleaning right now. And he's like in a very giddy mood. And I'm very happy for him, even though I slightly resent it. Because I know that he can like just collect the cans in his room and maybe make his bed. And the sheets will still be dirty but he just makes it and that will be enough for him to feel good about himself and to feel like I did something today like how he should feel however I do that and I go yeah my bed is made my clothes are put away but they're all like dirty somehow they all like have a a weird uh feel to them or like other people's clothes just don't when I put something

on my body it becomes like yellow and tarnished it's I and it's not just my spray tan you guys like I've dealt with this my whole life I think it really is psychological but all of my clothes growing up I talked about this on you up ages ago and someone made a cartoon of it but all of my clothes growing up I talked about this on you up ages ago and someone made a cartoon of it but all of my clothes growing up were all stiff and stained and like hard and I would buy the same shirt as Kirsten from a store and she would bring it home and wash it and then wear it and then I would bring it home mine and wash it and wear it and mine would be like stiff and sad and hers would be like soft and smell good and still look new and I'm just like what is wrong with my body that makes things gross and I don't have an answer

for you but I I do not think people go Nikki this is just your depression everyone gets stains this stain that I have on myself today, I don't believe other people have. I just, I really envy people who can just be clean. And people go, Nikki, I'm clean because it's my OCD and it haunts me and it's the only way I can feel relaxed. That's why I clean. Or they just go, I clean because I want to you you know and it's like okay well then I wish I wanted to I don't know what the argument is you want to know something this stain is still wet I spilled this yesterday at 24 hours ago and it's still sopping wet I just put my foot on it dude I thought that would dry let Let's be honest, though.

It is like a small kind of spill, and it was a full latte. So there is no doubt that this seeped through the carpet. It is still like it just was spilled yesterday. Oh, my God. In other news, Andrew's cleaning his room. I was eating breakfast this morning and he walked out of his bedroom with a handful of cans and different cups.

And I tried to film him to see, to catch how many cups he was carrying, but he almost caught me. And then he said that he might also be depressed because I've been depressed, you know, the past couple of days or weeks. Who knows really what's going on. Feeling much more stable now, but he was like, you know the past couple days or weeks who knows really what's going on feeling much more stable now but he was like you know what cleaning my room I go how's it going he goes cleaning my room

um you know I think I was depressed too and I go oh all right um I didn't I mean it makes sense his girlfriend just moved I've been in a bad mood he's someone who like me can be dependent on other people's mood to make him feel good but he's been playing golf every day maybe his swing hasn't been what he wanted it to be we'll talk to him about his depression but

you know I it's weird when you're depressed. If you have people in your life who are depressed, talk to them. How about that? How about we all, if we notice someone's sad, we call them up and we say, is everything okay? I just like, thank God I have girlfriends who I can talk to and share my sadness with and they can all go, I'm so sorry, Nikki, and like send back really nice things and ask me about it and let me cry. People that don't have that I really, I feel for. And that's why I

try to ask people how they feel a lot because I think I just want it so bad back. And I don't really get it back. And I'm not being like, woe is me. I'm just being like, I don't have – I don't always surround myself. My girlfriends are great. My mom has gotten better about it I told my parents the other day That I was just trying to get a reaction Out of them and have them have any concern

About my mental health And I told them that if I work too hard I'll kill myself someday If I don't get enough sleep And if I keep working I was talking about Simone Biles And they were like Well you gotta keep your word.

You said you were going to do these gigs. You got to do them or like whatever it was. I wasn't even talking about canceling. I was just like, I might have to like pull a Simone Biles at one point and pull out. And they were like, no, you got to keep your. And I go, well, what if it leads to me killing myself someday? And they're just like. So Luigi's doing doing good I'm just like mm-hmm so it's like I know that they can't handle my pain in that way and so me being um depressed I try to like you know you do the most outrageous thing to like make your parents pay attention that's like why why kids get like tattoos and like pierce their tongue to be like, look, mom, look at me react, you know, and that's why I say outrageous things. And then they don't say anything.

And then I hang up the phone and I cry because I feel like they don't care. But the truth is they just can't handle the idea that their daughter would kill herself. So like they just shut down. And that's OK, because that's their own thing. But then my mom did text me later and say, I'm worried about you. Are you okay? And I felt really good and I like burst out crying because she said it. And then I wrote back to her.

I said, I am okay. It means a lot that you asked me. And then she's checked in on me every day since then. So they can learn. You know what I don't need is people using the things I tell you guys at the top of the podcast against me in my DMs or on Reddit. I got a little heated yesterday on my subreddit because someone wrote, Nikki is spiraling. Has anyone else noticed that she's going through a psychosis and she's subjecting all of her friends in Tulum to it. They're all in hell listening to her talk about how messy her packing is. No one else is

telling her this. And I go, bitch, I gave you all this. I use the word spiraling. I said I'm spiraling. You don't get to form an opinion about me that I gave you and then act like it's a novel opinion you know that doesn't this has happened to me a couple times and I really do appreciate some people don't know where they get ideas about me from but it's a lot of times you form it on your own maybe you make observations you connect the dots and you go hey I've noticed this thing about you that you might not notice about yourself. That's interesting. And also, I'd rather you not share with me right away, maybe draft out a thing and then sit on it

and wonder if you would want to say this to a stranger or a stranger that might be suffering like you think they are, why you would want to pile on and make them feel worse about it. I would maybe second guess sending that, but also I'm not you. Do what you want. I know you're just doing it out of love for me. If you listen to the podcast,

you're a fan, obviously. But for someone to get on Reddit and try to start a discussion about how I'm spiraling based on the word spiraling, which I gave you, I said I was spiraling, not you. You don't get to act like you're like, I've noticed she's spiraling because she told us she's spiraling. I've noticed she seemed unhinged because she said she was unhinged. You're convincing yourself that you're smart and observant about me when really you just are repeating what I said. So it doesn't need to be repeated. And it especially doesn't need to be repeated on a subreddit that you as a fan of mine know I'm reading because you listen to the show and you know I'm on Reddit and you know I follow my own subreddit because I told you I did. So instead of putting something on the subreddit that you are trying to say to me

that I've already said about myself, how about you draft it, read it to yourself and ask yourself, would you like that said back to you from a stranger who thinks they know How about you draft it, read it to yourself, and ask yourself, would you like that said back to you from a stranger who thinks they know more about you than they do because you gave them that information to put it out there? That being said, I love you. I love that anyone's talking about me and thinking about me. And I did unsubscribe from my own subreddit because it's too painful. And I don't want to see that again at 2 a.m. when I'm trying to fall asleep again because Reddit soothes me to sleep but you can go on my subreddit and read that and then read my response because it's exactly what I just said here zip it that being said I love you besties and most of you are not like that and you understand that I'm very self-aware sometimes to the point of, you know, sometimes like I just want to

reiterate that when you're annoyed with me on this podcast, I beat you to it. I'm already annoyed with myself. So you telling me that you're annoyed with me, unless I'm completely unaware of it, I just don't need to hear. I already feel the same way, but I'm coming out of this depression. It's the only reason that I'm able to talk about this in this way with a smile on my face. Let's get Andrew in here. Andrew. 2025 is bound to be a fascinating year.

Hey, Andrew. What's up? Remember Andrew. What's up? Remember that? What's up? What if we did that for an hour?

You think people would kill themselves? I mean, after they just heard my intro, they might find it soothing. Oh, boy. What am I walking... I never know what I'm walking into. I really... It's like... I know.

What do you feel today? What do you think the tone might be? Well, I don't know. I really, it's like... I know. What do you feel today? What do you think the tone might be? Well, I don't know. You kind of hinted at... You're upset about something. I don't know. Are you sad? I'm not even upset.

No. Well, you know, there's an underlining... Underlining? Underlying sadness this week for some reason. Yeah. I think we're all feeling it nationally it's things are getting weird again and um yeah just feeling a little bit low but actually things are okay i just noticed a stain on my dress and it just sent me for a dare i say a spiral oh boy and what was

the what are the some of the key points that I missed? If you had to. The key points are everything I touch gets stained and dirty. Other people are clean just like they're just born clean. I was born a smudge on like I was just born dirty. Oh, I always have a stain. Like my hair even. Yesterday, even you like saying my hair looked like wild Oh, I always have a state. Like my hair even. Yesterday, even you like saying my hair looked like wild,

like that's my wild state. Like some people's hair just like dries straight and like, just like, and some people just have like natural, like my skin, my sister's skin was always like perfect and she had straight hair and I always had like discolored skin with zits

and like, and hair that was always just mousy brat, like mousy, almost blonde, not really. And like tangly. And it's hard growing up with like, just your only example of another young girl that comes from your same

lineage being like this perfect thing. And you being like, like drooling everywhere like not being able to keep a clean room she likes clean things she has like american girl dolls that have like the little basket of fish and she has the little basket and she can keep the little piece of bait in the basket and all of her barbies have both their shoes whereas my barbies look like they should be living on skid row right when I get them out of the box. I once had a conniption fit.

My earliest memory of my parents looking at each other and going, oh, God, something's wrong with this child, which it happened so many times. But my first memory was Easter when I was probably three or four i got a uh ariel doll little mermaid and her bangs had like a weird flip at one of the bangs was like not straight with the other bangs and i couldn't handle it it was like it wasn't perfect and especially a barbie doll should be perfect right like there shouldn't be a manufacturing flaw with a Barbie doll and it just made me feel like I can't ever nothing can be perfect and I I was crying so hard on the way to whatever fucking Easter family shit we had to go to I was flailing around the van I took off like I got out of my seat I was like like flailing around the van. I took off. Like I got out of my seat. I was like throwing, hurling myself on the floor of the van, on the side of it.

I probably tried to like jump out into traffic. I'm not kidding. I was four. And because the Barbie's bangs would not be straight. And I remember just feeling, I feel that way sometimes about things. Like the other day, I was like looking around my room trying to clean it and i looked up on my um like a picture fell on my head because i had to like i don't have a man in my life who knows how to hang anything and the task rabbit i hired takes seven hours to hang one picture so i just don't

trust anyone anymore so i just propped this picture on my night or on my uh what's it called bed what's the thing behind you on a bed bed for a headboard headboard which by the way I've never even felt I deserved a headboard and by the way my headboard is rickety as shit even though I had a professional put it together it's still rickety and you know what I say to myself It's not because I bought a rickety bed frame. It's because I'm rickety. Nothing I can own can be sturdy and good and beautiful. It has to. And then I looked at it. It fell on my head because I had to prop it up against it because I was just holding it in place until I found someone to actually mount it and found a man to love me that like knows how to like put holes in walls.

And my mom doesn't come over and do it. And it takes her 30 hours to hang one thing. And she nick i didn't tell you i was good at this well mom you do it all the time well i this is how long it takes anyway so i propped it up the other day i hit my rickety headboard the picture fell on my head taylor swift fell on my head dented the side of my head i started sobbing because i was just like the thing i love more than anything the world just hit me you're like ariel and like her bang yes you got hit in the exact same spot my bang got dented just like the bang oh my god thank god i don't have bangs that would really show you that i was off off my rocker i get that though i get everything you're saying about your sister my brother is

brilliant like brilliant you know what i mean and he always was brilliant ap classes you know took sat twos he was always way smarter than me like way more productive could could study for hours sat twos yeah i mean i didn't even know there was something out there. Jesus Christ. A second SAT just for fun? Certain colleges back in the day, like Tufts and, I don't know, Ivy League schools that he was applying to. And I was at least attracted. I was cute.

Like, I had that, and I was decent at sports. But that goes away, you know? Yeah, your brother's bald as fuck yeah he's shorter than you no he's not oh shit okay um he no yeah i get it yeah you get it growing up like physically it wasn't there for me but you know i'm sure if you asked your sister personality wise and also she would say you're beautiful, but besides the fact, she would say a million things she wishes she had about you or had things that you have in your life.

And I know that it's, I'm not trying to make you just feel better. I'm just being honest. You know what I mean? You're putting her on a pedestal because she has her in her. There's a lot of people that put me on a pedestal. And it makes me feel great.

Where at the same time it makes me feel like I'm projecting a lie. And then I feel bad about that. Because I just know that that's not true or whatever. I just watched Cooking with Paris today. A couple clips they sent me. It's on Netflix right now. My episode of cooking with Paris. And like,

I just can't watch myself. I just can't. I'm just so disappointed in my performance every time. What do you see wrong? What is it? Like what, what are you? I just wasn't funny.

I just like all these chances I had to be funny. I just go, um, like, yeah. Well, it's hard to riff with someone that's like not riffing though right I don't know I think it's sometimes it's not only you and I would have and I bet you if other people watched they wouldn't notice quite as you're so

hard on yourself with these things but but I always just think like my friend Kirsten is funnier than me like she says funny stuff she's sillier she She's sillier. No, she's actually fun. Like, she thinks like a comic. If you just wrote down what she said, you would be able to make a perfect stand-up bit without any changes. Like, she really talks. No, she's very funny.

Yes, she's very funny. But she doesn't want to do that. She doesn't want to be a comic. And that's always been my thing with her, is, like, she could be on SNL. She just doesn't want to. that. She doesn't want to be a comic. And that's always been my thing with her is like she could be on SNL. She just doesn't want to. My sister could be a model. She just doesn't want to. All these things that I would want if I had that skill.

I would. Yeah, I'm just having a hard time today because they send me all these clips to watch and I have to watch them to put them on my Instagram. And I don't want to watch them because they just make me so sad that I wasn't funnier yeah and that I had a chance to be funny and I just squandered it by going uh yeah add more ketchup like what you had like they give you 30 seconds to say something funny and you go yeah more ketchup is good like what are you what are doing? Are you even of a... That's making me laugh. Why would you... Why are you on this show? What do you bring to this show?

I think we're similar in the sense, like, we're chameleons. Chameleon? Chameleon. Chameleonair? Chameleons. Chameleons. Yeah.

People chameleon air a lot. Where we go off other people's energy, we go off of other people... Like, you know, my whole life, it's like if I was hanging out with the stoners, I was a stoner. If I was hanging out... So, life it's like if i was hanging out with the stoners i was a stoner if i was hanging out so sometimes it's tough to feel you know the energy in the room you're right it's like it's not conducive for you to be your funniest self and you know what

when you're not that funny maybe it's just as compelling you know what i mean we're so used to having to fucking get a laugh every three seconds that doesn't mean you know what uh someone uh brenda said this which i love this line and i don't know if she copied it somewhere but she said uh just because it's silly doesn't mean it's not meaningful and i don't know i like that line or no no i'm sorry just because it's not serious doesn't mean it's not meaningful so i don't know exactly how that works with this but But it's just like, at the end of the day, just don't be so hard on yourself. You're so hard on yourself. And it just upsets me because you're so talented. And you have so many positive things.

And you always are looking for the negative in you. And it just, like, I just, I don't know. And I know you don't want to hear that. I just want to hold myself to a stand. And I'll never believe you because I know what I consider to be excellent comedy. I have a very high bar. And I don't match that. Like, I don't hit that.

There are times when I hit it, if I really work hard. But the amount of effort that I'm able to give, like right now now to comedy, I can't really hit it. And it's, I can hit other bars of like being honest and sincere and real with my feelings and saying things that other people wouldn't say

about how they're, what they're going through. But then you go on Reddit and you get torn apart for being too, like someone last night on reddit said that i was spiraling and made this whole like in my subreddit yeah they made a whole post about nikki's not even fun to listen to anymore she's spiraling um she's going through psychosis she's torturing her friends that they're all trying to have fun in tulum and she's crying and being and

these are all things i said by the way that i gave them this wasn't like this person inferred this these were all things i said i'm annoying my friends i'm a burden on my friends i am uh spiraling i said i'm spiraling and then this person makes a whole post about it and it's just as like why do I do I put that stuff out there because I feel like it's relatable and it's real and I'm tired of pretending I'm okay when I'm not and all these things that every other celebrity fucking does and so and I do a daily podcast so that you can't really escape that you can't I can't say oh you know what let's not not tape today. I'm not feeling well. I have to show up and do it. And the thing that I've created on the show for myself is a place where I can be completely honest

with how I'm feeling regardless of, I just have no room on this podcast to be fake. I don't think, I wouldn't want that from me. You can skip the episode if you're not in the mood to hear me be sad. But, you know, I that's that's my talent now and then i just got admonished for it by my fans on my subreddit and then there were more than ever usually there's like a picture of me being like look at her legs for days and it's like two

comments and i don't even read comments because comments are worthless i just like look at the post but last night there was this diatribe about how I'm unlistenable and I'm no fun anymore and why they used to like me. They don't anymore. Spiraling, blah, blah, blah, blah. All things I've given them, by the way. Nothing they put together themselves.

Literally. And they're acting like they put it together themselves too, which is so insulting. That's the worst part of it is when you give someone something and they use it against you and you go, I gave you that you didn't the the mark of a good insult is one that

you create on your own by observation it's not one where you just throw the thing the person gave you back at you that's actually the weakest form you know when you like are in a argument with your a loved one and you've maybe told something about your past like I don't know I was teased for looking like an elephant when I was in fifth grade and it's always been this thing I'm really insecure about and you told that to your lover on like a really you know a warm moment where you felt safe and vulnerable and you both kind of laughed about it and then later on he makes some comment about you looking like an elephant but pretends like it has nothing to do with that even though he knows that he's trying to trigger you about the thing.

That is the same thing you're doing to me, commenter. So I wrote back and I go, this is Nikki Glaser. You know I read this thread. I gave you all that. So I wrote this whole thing back and I felt really good about writing it. I didn't read any of the other comments. I'm guessing, I'm hoping it was all people defending me because there were fucking 15 comments, which is a lot for a Nikki Glaser subreddit post.

So either it was people agreeing with this person or it was people defending me. I don't know which because I didn't read them after I read it. But, you know, I think that probably got me started off today, which is ironic that someone who is complaining about me spiraling then causes me to further spiral. Thus, you know, just perpetuating the cycle of abuse. And I don't read comments, Andrew.

I know. So I unsubscribe from the Reddit. I'm not going to read anymore. So I'm never going to see when people say I look funny or cute or all the nice things that people were saying. We don't get to see this anymore because you ruined it, person listening right now, who probably feels so good that you are being talked about for the first time in your life by someone other than your parole officer. Well, that person will probably go, well, I was doing it for

you because I care about you, Nikki, and I'm a huge fan. And that's why I said to them next time, DM me if you're really concerned dm noah or andrew if you really are concerned for my mental health yeah why don't you write someone that actually it will get through to dm um the nikki glazer pod we don't have as many followers that we wouldn't see a message in in the dms we're always all looking at it i'll ignore it they'll read it they'll get back to you they'll check in on me do a wellness check if you're really so worried about me that you wrote a whole message on reddit i just yeah i mean you're cleaning your room today you're in a good mood you got sunglasses on i'm trying to uh get some of your vibe like my everything in me my negative vibe wants to like

resent you and make fun of you for being in a chipper mood as i usually do because that's my depression that wants to put everyone in the worst mood with me but i'm i'm instead i'm looking for a ride on that boat get on the boat can i get on the boat come on captain's coming in okay because i just told noah you can collect a bunch of cans from your room and like make your bed with dirty sheets and you'll feel better whereas i need to get new sheets and a new bed and like a new house to feel better i know i'm gonna clean my sheets i'm i'm after it today like i'm like my room's gonna be spotless not the back closet but the room

will be good today and then i'm gonna go hit golf balls i just feel good i feel vibrant i i don't know i'm ready to go i'm vibrant i'm vibing this is like an uh an ad for um what are what's the new drug that i hate the name of so much it's called like jibuli or something it's always on it's the there's a new ad for a drug it's probably for eczema or crones it sounds like happy it's something it's so bad these new drug names they're just out of names yeah yeah they really are they just put letters together you like your depression we should make a fake depression ad of someone that's coming out of depression where they're just exiting their room with a armful of cups. Because we all know cups by the nightstand equals depression. We should do like a real ass ad for like depression

that isn't just like a mom in bed looking out a window forlorn at her kids on a swing. Like that's not real. You know what's really depressing is when not just cans by the bed, because we all know LaCroix cans adding up, that's depressed. When they're only half drank or even three quarters drink that is oh dude I can't when you have to pour out a full LaCroix that causes my depression because you know that I drink I drink every can down to the

last sip because I love that when you when I find a three quarters drink Zevia even though you've paid for it I get furious because I'm like I would have drank that and now I can't. I think I just fell asleep sad. I was too lazy to get to my nightstand to drink the rest of LaCroix. But I'm good now. I'm good now. You know, I was sad, dude. Brenna leaving really fucking fucked with my head.

But, you know, it is what it is. Yeah, it's the first time you've ever been in love. I know. Like really in love. I know. I know. It's like it is. Yeah, it's the first time you've ever been in love. I know. Like really in love. I know. I know. It's like, it's so weird. Anyhow, but yeah, let's get to the news apparently.

You're Katie. You heard it here first. Yeah, you heard it here first. Oh, I hope you're having all the swells out there. I know we talked about some sad stuff right now, but we're having all the swells. Because if you get out the negative, you end up positive. Not with a bad disease, but with Jubilee in your system. Okay.

All right. A 22-year-old drunk Frontier passenger screened his parents for worth $2 million after groping two flight attendants and then punched a third before the crew duct taped him to a chair. You saw this video?

Oh my god, it's so good. It is so cringy. It's so bad. It was on a Frontier. First of all, if your parents are worth enough money that you get to brag about it, you're not flying frontier. Well, it's just so funny when these people are bragging about their parents' net worth. And it's like, it's not your money, dude. It's not your money. Also, $2 million isn't enough to brag.

It's not anymore. It's not. And also, that guy, it is his money, Andrew. That guy is a little rich kid who's waiting for his parents to die. And it will be his, probably, because he's probably an only child. Or, you know, his older brother died of opiates. And, you know, these kids are... In a wakeboarding accident.

He will get that money. He's not wrong to say that. I don't know. After this video comes out, I don't know. It's just so embarrassing. God, I would love to follow what happened after this and interview this kid or anyone who knew him growing up. Someone listening to this podcast has to know someone who knew this guy.

Please let us know anything about him. Also, let us interview the parents because I want to know if he's still in the will. Here's the thing though with this. He was obviously hammered. He asked for another drink. They didn't give him the drink because he was drunk. And then he threw a punch at the

third person. That's when they duct taped him. Now, they got relieved from their job. The stewardess and shit. Flight attendants. Flight attendants. Do you think it's fucked up that they duct taped him and duct taped his mouth shut? I loved when they added the duct tape at the top.

You see them duct taping him with all this terrorist apprehension duct tape that they have on hand? It's like special tape you know it's not probably duct tape it's like so they get him to the seat and then the guy just like keeps going around his like head and it's so i knew that there was no point in doing that but i really loved it you guys gotta watch the video because the guys everyone on the plane is like mocking him and laughing i know i almost felt bad for him by the end of it, though. I don't know why. I just, I don't know why I had empathy for him.

Because, you know, your hammer. Oh, I have empathy for this guy. Yeah. For sure. And he has a terrible life to be that full of hate. Those people were getting off on him getting tortured. Like, it ended up like, he got duct taped, funny, ha, ha, ha. Then they liked the torture.

Like, there's a thing about people liking a public torturing where it went from him being annoying to the passengers being assholes. That's how I felt. Although, you know, if I was on that flight, I'd be like, you know what, let's just shoot him. How did he grope the flight attendant? Did we hear about that? Apparently he grabbed her tit, I think.

Allegedly. Allegedly. He's on the window seat how did he leap across to grab a tit his parents bought him long arms i don't know i mean he reached i don't think anyone was sitting next to him when he was taped up he just kept going help help me help honestly this kid is very very sad and definitely struggling with alcohol and probably other addictions. And I'm not joking. I bet he's lost a sibling to opioids.

And that's why he's like going to get more of that two mil. I mean, this kid definitely grew up with parents where they came from that made them act like this, you can find it in your heart to feel bad for them. Because think about how embarrassing and awful life would be if you were one of these people that when you are provoked, you fly off the handle so easily. Like these Karens and these just people you see like cause huge disturbances screaming. Those people have anger management issues and they truly like can't help but react that way. Think if your best means of handling a situation where you got backed into a corner or were embarrassed or frustrated was to scream and have everyone in the terminal look at you and videotape you and laugh at you because you go well Nikki they're choosing to do that I would honestly

venture to guess that they don't just like you can't choose when you scream at your husband or have road rage like you don't go right before you go motherfucker fucking drive do you say before that moment you know what i could not do that and i could do that let me do it i want to do like you don't sign up to do it you just do it so i'm not saying these people are right i'm not saying that they're you we should forgive them and I'm not saying that we should forgive them. And essentially I actually am saying we should forgive them. Because it would suck to. I'm so grateful I'm not a pedophile.

And I'm so grateful I'm not a person that hits people when I get mad. Or throws things when I get mad. Or says the worst thing I can think of when I get mad. Thank God. But the only reason I'm not is because I wasn't raised in an environment that made me respond that way. And I have a brain that doesn't short circuit to that. But if I did, I would.

Also, if you get hammered, like so many of us have been fucking blacked out, hammered, acting almost just as ridiculous as him but probably around other hammered people when you get fucked up and you're on a plane or if you're like in a walmart or like somewhere where it's not conducive to other people also being drunk you know you're gonna stick out so if you're gonna act like you know what i mean like he just decided to get very fucked up on like in the worst situation possible and yeah i just and with everyone with cameras i don't know i'm just saying like put yourself like we've all acted not that bad but that bad in like a different kind of

situation you know what i mean does that make sense like yeah and if if if you probably had his life with his parents and his brain, you would do the same exact thing. But you weren't born with him. So we can still get mad at him and laugh at him. But understand that you're just lucky that you aren't such an idiot as well. And not being you, Andrew. But even you could go, well, I drink. And sometimes I say buffoonish things.

And maybe I would act like that. But I wouldn't do it before my flight. You can't say that. Because you don't know. that guy might not have had a choice but to drink and you've never flown front you know what i mean spend walk a mile on his flight you've never been seat 33f on a frontier flight after you've had seven canceled flights and they're doing half-priced margaritas at fucking... TGI Fridays. You know, what's his... Yeah, TGI Fridays. What's the guy's name

that always has a place in the... God, why can't... My brain is mush. Who's the guy that always... Tyler Florence? No. There's some guy that always... Wolfgang Puck. Oh, yes. That's the guy that always wolfgang puck oh yeah that's the guy i was thinking of i don't know i'm just like even even the worst people in the world i'm able to go thank god my brain isn't like that you know and sometimes you know maybe the person that

wrote that thing about me and that read it just instead of being mad at me just go thank god my brain isn't like hers and you should it's sometimes hell in here next story i'm gonna cut my hair into bangs a straight bang no i'd have one off oh my god you would not die red and grow flippers or whatever my biggest fear is having a an unbalanced bang like a betty page bang that's a little too short uh just just kill me i would just shave my head rather than have like a too short of bang you with those four little hairs i would rather have that brenna has five little hairs too on the top we have matching little hairs oh that's cute well let's move on subjects until we think about our love for her and we can't handle it so we gotta let's get the

next story oh they're so yeah yeah oh god we're feeling things oh i want to just touch her again okay a woman escaped the stampede get out of there no fine come in bret is my friend too you could scissor. I don't care. Keep your panties on, though. Oh, I've scissored her. She's given me her foot, and I've cut out a corn. You don't think that was intimate?

I've been inside your girl. You didn't have to do it with your teeth. With a scalpel, I would have. Hey! I wanted to eat her skin. How dare you? I told her. I kept a little piece of her skin, and I put it on the coffee table.

I'm blowing your ex. How do you feel about that? Oh, good. Well good well be the first to do it i'll be happy to hear it yeah okay next story next story of 20 kangaroos bouncing what get out of here with this story this sounds like a fake story you move on from if things are really tense. I'm going to have a heart attack. You know what? I almost had a heart attack. You're like, Mom, you're at a graduation dinner where your parents haven't seen each other in forever. They're divorced.

And they're about to be on the precipice of like, Dad said that he gave you enough alimony to pay for that. And then you never let me go back to ballerina classes even though it could have been great. You're an alcoholic. And then everything gets quiet. And I was ballerina classes, even though it could have been great. Well, you're an alcoholic. And then everything gets quiet. And I was like, did you hear about a stampede of kangaroos? She's my lady. 27 of them. Who's ready for dessert?

It reminds me of Anchorman with the panda that escaped from the zoo. It's a really good icebreaker. Let's have that be the new icebreaker when things get really tense or awkward. We go, did you hear about the 27 kangaroo stampede okay go on i mean that's pretty much the whole story this lady was in australia there's a video of it no and she's standing there and australia australia this this happened in the down under yeah and above the ground i I thought it was Montana. There was a stupid of kangaroos. Like, what the fuck? This was in Times Square.

20 kangaroos took the train all the way from Aspen. Okay. Oh, it was a promo. It was a new, like, you know, what are those things called when the improv people run in? Yeah. A flash mob. I was thinking of a flash mob in Times Square,

and it would be like kangaroo jack toots coming out. There's like 27 kangaroos let loose, and they're like, what is this? And it's like, oh, this is promo for the new movie. Anyway, okay, so what happened? How long do you think a kangaroo would live in new york city though if we let 20 out just in the middle of the city i wonder what would happen oh they'd be fine they're scavengers yeah they look they they'd adapt you think they would jump up on a um fire escape oh shit all right so this woman was standing there it was like an empty like in the middle of nowhere and she saw the kangaroos coming at her and it was like a fight or flight moment

and she just flighted a little to the left of the road and was waiting for the kings to come up and they rude out of there they uh they they jumped over there was like a like a barbed wire fence like 15 of them jumped over. Four tried to go through the fence. One tried to go under. It was a real, you know, they looked at her. They like stood up from jumping and they were like, who's that? You know, they flighted, you know, even though they would have whipped her ass.

And she's like, I hope I don't get hoofed. I mean, I guess that happens over there, you know. But yeah, so she was saved. But yeah, the 20. I don't know over there, you know? But yeah, so she was saved. But yeah, the 20... I don't know what the hell you just described. I don't either, to be honest. Wait, there was a barbed wire fence. I got lost in that.

A woman saw kangaroos coming. I saw from very far away an Independence Day when... I'm trying to think of what's a thing in a desert when all of a sudden you see a little in the distance, you see them coming and of, like, what's a thing, like, in a desert when all of a sudden you see, like, a little in the distance, you see them coming, and you're like, what is that? Like, the wildebeest, it starts out very, like, distant, and you're faint, and you're like, what's that little

rumbling? I hear something. Then all of a sudden, she's like, holy shit, it's a bunch of jumping kangaroos coming at me. She ducks down under a barbed wire fence. No, she just got on the side of the road. She just got next to a bush. But there's barbed wire. Were they coming at her or were they just coming in her direction? Were they coming for her? Coming in her direction.

Her direction. Okay. Okay, so here's some lessons, though. I guess this would be great for listeners. If a kangaroo comes at you. Okay. So I'll list them down. And I'm sure this works for other animals.

Bears. Call a timeout. Call a timeout. Okay, call a timeout. Call your mom. Okay, turn your body sideways, exposing the narrow profile to the animal and protecting your face and organs. Raise your hands and lean your head away from the animal to minimize the chances of being scratched across the face by the kangaroo's nasty claws. Retreat, but do not turn your back and run.

Give a short, deep cough and crotch down as you move away. Make it known you are not a threat. As a last resort, if you can't escape an attacking kangaroo, roll up into a ball on the ground with your arm covering your neck and call for help. Try to roll or crawl away to a safe place. That's a lot of things. Yeah. Okay, so I'm going to – this is what I got from that.

Kangaroos are astonished by a profile shot. They love old-timey. You know those old-timey pictures where it's just a profile and a black profile of you? Yeah. That you could have done at Six Flags? They love those. So get a mimeograph of you as a profile shot. They love a strong nose and chin.

Yes. They're almost astonished into they can't jump when they see that. They're just so in awe of your beauty. Amazed by the beauty, the side beauty. Yeah. Then crawl into a ball. Cough slightly. Get a rectal exam as you cough.

Right? Yep. That was part of it. These are all things. Then, wait, you're supposed to also scream essentially you're supposed to make you want to back away but not seem like a threat so you can't run away though so you got one it's so absurd you gotta don't go to australia because you can't right now anyway there's like you know you have to be in quarantine for like eight years where i think you probably

have to read a manual about how to prevent a kangaroo attack it's probably on uh they like driver's license well what i heard is the kangaroos if you're not wearing a mask they set out 20 kangs at you and uh then and the ironic thing is you got to take the mask off and do a profile shot if you want them to stop yeah because if you keep the mask on you seem like too much of a threat yeah or you pull your pouch you pull a kangaroo pouch over they they all pull their pouches up to the point where their masks um have you ever seen inside a kangaroo pouch it's disgusting why have you seen inside one like a hidden camera yeah they just i guess the baby hangs out in there and i just wanted to see what was going on wait you did not look inside a pouch you just saw no there was a video there's no i've never seen it live but yeah i've seen it inside of a pouch bucket list you know pouch list

all right next door what the fuck i just love that we learned i i just love how we i i do always think that if you're attacked by an animal cover your face and neck because that's like your jugular and that's the money maker right yeah i just don't i mean the idea that you can't run you gotta like casually walk it's like when you've got to take a shit and you can't run you have to do this like certain kind of walk there's a certain speed that you have to walk so you don't shit yourself. Right, right. You can't go too slow.

You can't go too fast. It's the same thing as a kangaroo. Walk like you got to take a shit. That's what I think. Okay. Yeah. No, that is interesting though that like all these animals that charge, you have to – you know I was going to make a joke about they're charging you money

and then I just dropped it. But any animal that charges, you just have to, you can't run from it because you'll always lose. It's always about like, you have to confront these terrifying animals and go like,

yeah, yeah. Like you have to kind of go like, and like cough in their direction. And it's like, so the opposite of what you would want to do. It's not fight or flight. It's flight or cough. Fight or clear your throat.

I'm not a threat, but also don't come near me. Also, I'm going to run away. And you have to turn to the side and look at them with side eye. You have to look almost suspiciously at them and go, and then roll in a ball. It's like these people that punch a shark in the nose. Get out of here. I don't believe any of this stuff okay i would rather be stampeded by 23 kangaroos than see one giant centipede that lurks in australia that i always see on reddit whenever there's a big bug they're like must be australia and like, yeah, we got them down here. They're coming out of the wall.

You know, a spider was in me socks last night. These fucking bear heads, too. Have you seen these bear heads on TikTok that, like, the bear gets close? They're like, oh, hey, boy. There's a new one called, hey, big boy. And it's a grizzly bear. And they're just like, hey, big boy, it's okay. Wait, isn't there a movie called The Edge that has a big bear in it?

I feel like there's a bear in that movie, The Edge. So they could be called The Edgehead. All right, guys. Next story. Why do I care? Getting breadcrumbed can hurt more than ghosting because we are strung along making us feel a sense of helplessness, a lower quality of life, and the loneliness of feeling excluded so essentially breadcrumbing is when someone says you know in the future you're going to get this so stick around

and then it never comes essentially yeah i i i see i could see how that could hurt more because ghosting you go it's definitive it goes it doesn't make you feel kind of crazy like it cuts you off and you go i can't believe this person who i liked and who liked me just disappeared like it's just very obvious that like that sucks like no one could argue ghosting is like unless he's dead there's no excuse for ghosting right it's like he's the one that's in the wrong or she right yeah and all your friends can go he ghosted you you. How dare he? When it's breadcrumbing, your friends who are trying to make you feel better or even your psyche that's trying to make sense of it can go, maybe you're just reading into things. Maybe you're expecting too much. He's giving you something. Don't be sad

about this. He's giving you something. And then he can even justify it and say, I did not talk to you. I said this. It's like when I used to get into a fight with a guy I dated. And I'd be like, are you mad at me? And he'd be like, no. And I go, well, it seems like you are. And he's like, why? And I go, because you're not talking to me.

And he goes, what is this? I'm talking to you right now. And I'm like, well, that's not what I mean. You know what I mean. Like, I know you're actually making words with your voice. I'm not being literal when i say you're not talking to me but i can't you're not saying anything of substance and then it just you know when they give you anything it's hard to actually form a case you know i get it i get it i also thought bread crumbing honestly when i read i was like is no one making fun of my bed like i thought it was

referring to my bed. I mean, I think Noah was initially attracted to this story because she saw the word crumbs. Crumbs. She knows you're Mr. Crumbs. Mr. Crumbs, yeah. Mr. Crumbs with the weird thumbs. I think your bed would like if you ghosted it more than whatever you're doing to it. If your bed didn't have sheets on it, your mattress would feel better if you had no sheets and slept on a bare mattress than clean sheets with all the false promises you're giving it to it.

I ate them all. You ate all the crumbs off? Yeah. Yum, yum, yum. Mr. Crumbs. Professor Crumbs. Have you ever bread crumbed a girl? Crumb her?

Yeah, I think I was breadcumbing. Breadcumbing. Breadcrumbing. Oh, Jesus. Next story. Okay, Taylor Swift. Oh, why do I care? No, no, no.

No, no, no. When did you breadcrumb? I feel like I breadcrumbed Brenna a little bit up top because I didn't know if I wanted to be in a committed relationship. And I think sometimes I was like, well, I'm giving her all these things, but I'm not really really committed and I just think now I'm not breadcarming anymore now I'm um you know yeah it's sometimes out of fear but I think breadcrumbing is more about when you don't like the person and you're just trying to still get your dick sucked and you're like you

would ghost but you're just trying to be nicer and make it a little bit more confusing so you don't come out to be a bad guy. So you always have an excuse. But yeah, I guess it could be that too. That's interesting. Good job calling yourself out on it and actually saying your feelings. Because I will say that when Andrew decided to actually lean into his feelings for her and admit that he liked her more than he was maybe even allowing himself to and was

able to commit to her, the opposite thing that you were scared of happened, because I think so many guys are afraid of commitment because they're scared that if I if I go all in, then it's probably going to then it's going to make me panic. Like the panic I'm getting of being in a committed relationship and shutting myself off to every other opportunity. Oh, my God, that's so scary. I'll probably like want to get out as soon as I get in. But when guys actually when you choose to commit and you actually lean in,

you were like so much more in love and like committed after you made the commitment than you were before when you were on the fence. Does that make sense? Yes. Yes. Yeah. A thousand percent. Why do I care?

I miss her though. You know, why do I care? Right. I hope you're listening. Taylor Swift narrates new Olympic video all about Simone Biles. I miss her, though, you know? Why do I care? Brad, I hope you're listening. I'm so cute. Taylor Swift narrates new Olympic video all about Simone Biles. Praises her talents on and off the mat.

I mean, she listened to the podcast. Taylor, are you listening? Taylor. Taylor. Oh, God, Taylor. This, and I posted this on my story yesterday, and I not even kidding you my I still have goosebumps they I've never had goosebumps for so long after listening to a video Taylor Swift's voice talking is amazing and her just you know she wrote the voiceover for this I'm sure they gave her a template of like here's what we kind of want you to say and she was like

got it guys and she wrote it herself it's so nice can we play it noah noah just gave the best face ever she did she did the thing where she lowered wait she's not even wearing glasses and you just did the thing where she lowers her glasses like oh like listen how crisp her voice is. It's just like, first of all, Noah has one of the crispest voices going, but Taylor Swift's voice in this is just like, she doesn't even sing. What do we want from our heroes?

What do we expect from them? What do we need from them? What happened? The song is called This Is Me Trying, by the way. And that was not what was planned. Just doubting herself somewhere. When you have the attention of the world, everything you do takes on a bigger meaning.

And it shows Simone Biles falling, kind of. That's what it feels like, except for Simone Biles falling, kind of. Again, I'm getting goosebumps. It can be a chance to change everything. Oh, okay, thank you. I kind of want to hear the whole thing. I just... That's what makes it so easy to call her a hero. Simone Biles, back on the beam in Tokyo. Oh, gosh. I just want to hear it. I got choked up.

She could do anything. She could talk about me taking crumbs off my bed and getting rid of jizz in my sheets, and I'd be like, that is at least he's trying um yeah that just like I didn't even realize I was gonna get teary-eyed just then but like I feel like I needed to hear that today because like you know um feeling all these feelings of like like if Simone Biles can feel like she isn't good enough and have people tell her that she's failing them and like isn't like you're not giving us what we expected from you which is kind of how I felt about that

reddit post yesterday of like like I hate more than anything when people, like, buy a ticket to my show or listen to my podcast or, like, invest their time because I do value that people, even though the podcast is free and people always go, it's free, what are you complaining about? Like, I actually do value that people, like, spend their time and, like, time you could be, like, talking to your kid right now. You're listening to a podcast that might make you better for your kid later because you, you know, indulged in your this or whatever. So when I have betrayed someone's trust in me that they put in listening to me or buying a ticket and then it's not what they wanted or the podcast isn't what they wanted, I feel like I've let people down and I'm not living up to the goals that have made them subscribe to my podcast in the first place. They saw me do a balance beam routine and they were inspired by that. That's why they subscribed.

Nikki, we want more of you on the balance beam. We want more of you sticking the landings. And the truth is that sometimes you just don't. And when Taylor Swift said the thing about um like the perfection is what this is all about you know like the Barbie's hair wasn't perfect and like when I got a Barbie that is you know they Barbies are are notoriously perfect and they set a standard for girls that are like you can never achieve that it's perfect we shouldn't even give these to our girls but for my Barbie to not even be perfect the one that I get like that to me just showed like even things that are always

perfect you don't get they're not perfect for you and so I've always been striving for perfection which I know is a lost cause so if you relate at all to this I'm just saying that like I need to hear that today and maybe you should play it again for yourself too because I think I was just caught up in her voice the first time. But like how Simone Biles – and I said this the other day. Like I want a poster of her quitting even though she's going to do it. She's back in. Oh, you didn't see? Yeah, I saw that one.

But I really want her being like a poster that looks like those ones that says like oh yes yes determination that are people have they have white men have in their offices yeah yeah but um i just want to say that the line about um being imperfect is perfect because that's what being a human is so like whatever you are today that makes you like my stain on my dress is perfect. Like this is the way it was supposed to be for me. It's good that I have the stain on my dress that led me to have a sour mood this morning because it's funny. That's who I am is someone who acknowledges that I have a stain on my dress and makes light of it and makes a fun podcast about it as opposed to if my dress was perfect, knows what I would have talked about it could have been a lot worse

so um I'm sorry to get emotional but like it's just I'm getting emotional in like a good way that like I do realize that even when I'm not funny or like I bomb on the Paris Hilton show in my own mind, whether or not I actually did. Or if, you know, F Boy Island takes out a moment that I thought was funny and they kept in one that I'm like, oh, that was embarrassing. I wish I wouldn't have made that face. Or like, oh, my stomach looks bad in that shot. Like I was meant to look like that in that moment. And there was no other way it was going to be.

And that's perfect. Like the imperfect things are perfect. that in that moment and there was no other way it was gonna be and that's perfect like the the imperfect things are perfect so just try to remember that today and um i'm sorry to like have this little moment obviously i'm going through things 27 kangaroos oh shit oh no profile profile they're like get a nose job bitch i'm like oh shit are you in my subreddit all right uh let's get on to collection of brenna i love you collection i just love brenna so much that's what's going on with me um no i do miss her a lot though and uh she's someone who probably would help me right now during this because we reached out to each other recently and shared our feelings it was really nice behind my back yeah behind your

back bitch let's get to collection of kids next time getting ready for some oh guys if you didn't know speaking of the good news that came from reddit we do have a subreddit for kuh now it is r slash kuh c-o-u-h-l you can find it on reddit it's where everyone's posting kuhs on the reddit i posted a video that kirsten sent me um of one of the kuhs things i've ever seen kirsten who is the first person you hear on that that goes getting ready for some kids she sent me a video from last year last summer when you know Trumpies were out in full force and not wearing masks and proud of it and there is a video that you've got to go watch over and I posted it from my reddit account Nikki Glaser I have a secret one too that I'm not going to ever reveal because it's mostly for posting on Wart stuff.

But – and I did say Wart. And if you're a new listener to the show and you rewinded a bunch and go, did she say Wart? Yeah, I did. It's a weird thing. Collection of Kis. These are all Kis sent in by besties. And we love you for it. We love you screaming Kis, people.

I Kis'd last night. Andrew, you for it. We love you screaming, kuh, people. I kuh'd last night. Andrew, you heard me. Someone was revving their engine, and I was eating dinner on the porch. I swear to God, at this point, it's involuntary when I hear a rev. It's like when a dog attacks a skateboarder. That's how I am when I hear a rev. I go, kuh! I can't not do it.

I'm really excited for it to be involuntary at some point but people are really excited about the new subreddit thank you to the redditor who made the account I really do think this is going to take off in a major way post your cuz on there but also keep sending them to the account um Nikki Glazer pod uh and we will read them aloud and and also voice memos so this is a k from john k hello no drew key and drew whatever it is hi my name is john from pennsylvania and i was just calling with a k moment something i realized over the weekend not sure if you guys have discussed this but possibly the most kuh thing ever is when those guys hang like testicles, like balls

off the back of a big pickup truck, and right in there with this is basically like any kind of bumper sticker. It's usually just kuh, but especially I saw one this past weekend that said I heart beaver. On a pickup truck with balls that were also hanging off of it.

I think that is kuh as fuck. Have a good week. Always listening. Love you guys. Bye. All the swells, John. John, when is a bumper sticker? I totally agree that by default bumper stickers are a kid.

I also want to say I have never understood the balls hanging off of a truck. Will you explain to me truck nuts, Andrew? Are they just supposed to be funny and gross? I'm just mad they don't have hair on them. I think that would be pretty badass. But I want to see a truck pussy. I want to put up some truck nuts in my mouth. Can we put it out there that we want a truck pussy and I'll put it on the back of my Corolla?

I swear to God. Like truck labia? Yeah. Do you know that labia are balls? Yes. I'll throw on an empty ball set on my Corolla. Some truck labes. That'd be so funny to make those.

You know how girls have eyelashes on their cars? Yeah. Okay. Wait, what is the point of truck nuts? So truck nuts, I mean, it's just... To make people laugh? I think it's to make people laugh. It's also to be like, look, you know, just I got

big nuts, like my car. Like, I'm a badass. I'm tough. Men aren't proud of their balls anyway so i don't understand like i would understand if it was like a truck dick because guys are proud of yeah but it's like a common phrase like oh that guy's got balls he's got balls to do this he's got balls if you already have a hemi why do you need to add balls to it like i think it's just like weird it's already understood that this truck's got balls. I think putting balls on a Ford Focus would be hilarious. Have them drag and spark.

Putting truck nuts on like a sedan. Yeah, have them drag. Yeah. That would be great. But already on a car that's like you're trying to like show off is, it doesn't make any sense. But you're right. I think most bumper stickers are K. I got one that said that is the k sticker

from etsy i buy taylor swift stickers all the time on etsy that are like you know they range from being like my favorite lyrics to just pictures of her and um there's one that i saw that i think i paid six dollars for plus shipping and it says milf yeah it says milf and it says man i love folklore you bought that is it on your car yet no i mean i i'm driving my mom's car so i can't put any stickers on it but i thought it was so that i had to buy it like it's funny that it's on that car I can't. That's my mom's car. She would be so mad. You bought her a fucking nice car and took the shitty car. It doesn't matter. It's not my car to put stickers on, even if I buy my mom a car.

How great is that word? She's letting me jalopy. Jalopy. I love it. That's a new drug that we just took. Wait, wait. God damn. It does sound like it.

Wait, I want to. Ask your doctor about jalopy. Wait, what was the fucking story that we were just. Steal a jalopy from your mom. Can I ask you what's more cuh between bumper stickers? And we'll get to the next story. Brenna, I miss you. Is it my fifth grader made the honor roll or my fifth grader beat up your honor roll student?

What is my cuh? Oh, which one's cuh? That's tough. Bragging about your fifth grader. No, no, no. The beat up one. roll student what is oh which ones care uh that's tough bragging about your fifth grader would no no no the beat up one you know what because the the sticker that says i'm proud of my fifth grade honor roll student that's not for you hopefully that's for your fifth grader to show that you're a proud parent and that you love them and you're proud of them and like they brought home the sticker to you that's what makes i always think this this parent doesn't really want

this on their car but they go i want to make my child know that I'm proud of them and wouldn't want to talk to them and tell people about them. And, you know, it's like putting your kid's shitty artwork on the fridge. Like my parents framed some of my shitty artwork and they probably didn't really love it that much, but they wanted me to feel like, oh, Nikki, you did something special. And that made, that gave me self-esteem. So the, I would say it's way cooler to have the joke. My mom just wrote me, how's my girl today? Is that the sweetest thing ever? She's talking about her car.

I'm going to say I'm a MILF. I'm going to say, mom, I'm feeling MILF. Man, I love folklore. She's going to go, what? Okay, let's hear from Sarah. This is Sarah wrote in a DM to the show. Andrew, you want to read it? Okay, second. hear from Sarah. This is Sarah wrote in a DM to the show. Andrew, you want to read it? Okay, second. Yesterday at my

neighborhood pool. Okay, so this girl said one thing. I'm guessing she complimented the podcast and then she goes, second, her name's Sarah. These two guys, my age 40-ish, were talking about college days. This guy was bragging about he took tests for all the frat guys so they all treated him like a frat guy.

All the benefits without having to pay. He was telling stories of parties and girls. I couldn't take it anymore, so I grabbed my stuff to leave, but not before yelling. Oh, my God. Sarah, I love you so much. I sent this to Noah and Andrew because I remember you DMed this to me. When I was reading this first of all it said I found a like she started off being like here's a curve and then she said the story

I'm not even joking you as I read here's a cut I start reading the story I might have gotten distracted by something but in between here's a cut and me reading it I might have looked up from my phone or maybe my mom texted me and something came up i started reading the story and after it said so they i took tests for the frat guys so they kind of treated me like one i literally go i literally said involuntarily to the story that i knew was going to be about cuz because i had forgotten it was just so good this was maybe one of the coolest things i've ever heard because frats in general are cool but a guy who didn't even go like rush a frat feeling like he's in a frat because the guy because he's the nerd that they cheated off of is poor guy what a kid i'm glad he was

that didn't he was like the nerdy kid that always wanted to be cool. He was the one that brought home the thing and his parents didn't put it on the car. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they didn't. So he doesn't have self-esteem and so he has to use his smarts to impress the kid that beat up that kid. Yep.

Yeah. As opposed to if his mom just would have put it on the goddamn truck instead of putting up those truck nuts. What if you put the sticker and the truck nuts together? That would be really funny. I would love a bumper sticker that said,

my fifth grader made me on a roll, who I haven't seen in 10 years because I left for another woman. That's how smart they are. They still persevered past the trauma of their dad leaving. Pushed them harder. Yeah. It's good for them. Hatchet.

That will grow truck nuts on your hair. I just said the word hatchet because it's a book that you read in school. That had nothing to do with anything. I was just picturing this kid who's struggling with his dad abandoning him, really getting into the book hatchet in sixth grade. Let's get to Marissa's voicemail.

On the road. Miss you, Brenna. Bye, baby. So I have like a cuh that seems, makes me seem like an asshole and I really might be, but I know this is a judgment-free zone with the three of you. For sure, Marissa. This kid from my high school died a few days ago and I just, there's so many people that were posting on facebook like reposting the obituary and saying like how good of a person he was and all of that and i just find it so good it's like you weren't really friends with this kid you haven't talked to him in 10 years and you just

want people to feel bad for you that you know somebody who died like that's just so cool marissa i mean you are so right girl like i used to hate this so much i remember there was one guy um i'm trying to give not too many details because i feel like someone might listen to this podcast that the story involves but I remember someone in my life died that was like uh in a group that I was a part of acapella he died no but let's say it's acapella so there was an uh an alto uh no a bass a guy who died a tenor he died tragically and another group in our another guy in our acapella group who was not that close with him got a tattoo of the guy's name or like something that meant represented that guy on his body now this guy already was someone who was tatted up not crazily tatted up but had

tattoos so it wasn't like a first tattoo but he did commemorate this guy with a tattoo. Now I knew that if that this guy's relationship to that guy was not even as close as I was to tattoo guy. Like I'm not even that good of friends with tattoo guy, but I knew that I was closer with him than this guy. So I remembered thinking if I die this guy is gonna get a tattoo of me no doubt like for sure and I remember thinking that's such bullshit because people who I'm actually close to wouldn't do anything with their bodies to memorize like the only that's I'm going to be remembered more by this guy taking off his shirt at the pool. People are going to go, what's that about?

What's Fabio? What's that portrait of Fabio on your shoulder? No, it's Nikki. Nikki Glaser. Oh, okay. Wow. She did have a masculine look to her. And I guess you got it with her hair down and no makeup. That's an interesting picture you selected.

Yeah, I thought I'd get the real her. What happened to her? Yes, you got it with her hair down and no makeup. That's an interesting picture you selected. Yeah, I thought I'd get the real her, yeah. What happened to her? She got hit by a gasoline can. That a kangaroo kicked. Yeah, 27 of them. It was bad. Damn.

Yeah. Wow, you guys must have been close. Actually, I didn't really know her. No, no, no, no, no. This person definitely thinks we were close. No, but I actually was very close to her, though. Oh, my gosh. Wow. I just ran into her mom the other day, and she didn't even mention that she died.

Yeah, well. But I'm glad that I know about it from your shitty tattoo. Like, do you know what I'm saying? Like, I realize that the people that I'm closest to wouldn't be as cuh and, like, brag about knowing me as people who didn't know me at all. 100%. But you know what i also reason i used to judge these people marissa just with you and i still do by the way i still care them but i want to say that some people even if they're just doing it to get attention and to get sympathy for feeling like you know um oh my gosh they're trying to just get sympathy for being like I

know someone who died I'm special I I'm hug me really what they need is a hug that they aren't getting for other things in their life that they can't really articulate so I let them have it now um I used to know someone who would get really mad when people would get uh upset about celebrity deaths and and say you didn't even know the person if you're this upset on facebook about the death of robin williams what's gonna happen when your dad dies or your mom dies like are you gonna are you what are you gonna post you you've just given us everything you you're this is almost like the kind of post you would make if your mom died. So what are you going to do when she died? You've left no room. And what I reason is, as someone who got very upset about the death of Cory Monteith for

no reason pertaining to my closeness to Cory Monteith, I didn't know him. He died of a drug overdose. He was young. I just felt sad. My sadness that was unexpected when I got that Google alert or whatever was really because I almost died when I was young tragically and wouldn't have achieved all the things I've achieved and all the joy I brought people or the you know just the life I would have lived could have been cut short by a dumb addiction that I didn't get help for and so I was crying really for myself.

And like it was healing for me. So I think these people on Facebook that are looking so badly for sympathy for someone they didn't even know, we just got to remember that they're in pain in other ways. And this is the only way they know to like, it's almost like we were talking about breadcrumbing. You know, you feel like if a guy ghosts you, you get so much more mileage out of being like, he ghosted me than if he like texted you every so often.

Right. So this just gives someone something tangible when they don't aren't able to do that with like they're not able to admit that their parents didn't love them enough or that they really miss their sister who isn't talking to them anymore. It's too painful to admit those things or that they push people in their lives away and have caused themselves to feel really lonely lately. That's too painful, so they'd rather cry about Anthony Bourdain or that guy that you barely know from your high school. Final thought.

The celebrity thing is interesting because when they post, it's always someone more famous than them, so it does feel a little like... You mean when celebrities post about celebrities? Yeah, other celebrities. Yeah, you've told me this before. Yeah, yeah.

I've always thought it was kind of cool. But you know what, though? I think, though, if you ask most of these people, hey, you posted this story. You didn't really know Jeff that well who died wakeboarding. You know, are you doing this to get likes they'd be like what are you fucking like i think a lot of people don't think so like you know as dark as we are like they are but even if they are getting it to get likes it's because people hate people

that are clout chasers but you got to understand that likes are love. So these people didn't get enough love. And as pathetic as it seems that this is going to give them this, like, you want heart emojis or just people writing comments. You want the most comments and you're refreshing it to see how many comments you got about the post about your cousin who died. If that's making you feel better, just let it be. I mean, it's just like, who cares? Like, even Andrewrew sometimes i see that you will latch on to like uh like the simone biles thing you posted a a big thing like you were very passionate about like people talking shit about simone biles dropping out remember and i

got a couple days ago when it first hit yeah yeah like you but but you were triggered by that not because you are personally friends with simone b or because you love USA Gymnastics or because you love – It was a mental health thing, I think, more than anything. Yeah, because you struggle with mental health because it was personal to you. And I could have gone, Andrew, this is all about you. The reason you care is not because you care about Simone Biles. It's because you care about you, and this makes you get defensive of people who judge you for having mental illness things which you know and I know too this you but that's okay that you took that stand on it and that you're

not taking a stand on Yemen like this is what people get mad about is goes you're gonna get you're gonna be make a whole post about Simoneone biles getting some shit talked to her about from a tennis player uh and you won't post anything about millions of starving kids in yemen and it's like well that doesn't relate to me as much as this does yeah and it doesn't trigger my shame that i have about my mental illness as as this does yeah and so does that make sense no for sure for sure i just relate whenever i post something like that and i'm really passionate about like a news item that's kind of out of nowhere it's because it's because i feel defensive and i i feel victimized it was funny with that post because like

i when i saw the story it just like i i just i honestly just felt compelled to write something and then when i i didn't i swear to god i thought i would probably like take it down in like two minutes and then it got so many likes compared to my other where like i started to be like okay i didn't mean for this to be about my life like i started to get i'd feel like um insecure about like getting these likes like i don't want these sympathy like this isn't for that i literally just wanted to put this out. I swear to God. Like, I felt, like, weird about it becoming such a. About it getting likes. Yeah, because it became, like, it got shared more than anything I've ever posted or anything.

Right. And I was, like, also, it's kind of easy to be, like. But, like, why would that make you feel sad that it got shared when a picture. I don't know. When you would be celebrating a video of you dancing with your shirt off getting shares. Like, that, you know what I mean? Because I feel like it was. It doesn't matter what it gets liked.

I do sometimes feel like I could have been funnier with it and almost like been, not a contrarian, but like just been a little bit more satirish. Yeah. You know, sometimes when I think, because when you just write something like kind of like a preachy post, I feel like sometimes it really is easy to get likes on a preachy post. Does that make sense? Or a vulnerable one where you're taking a stand and defending someone that. So it feels easy because as a comedian, I want to be the funniest. I don't want to be the most preachy. Right.

And I could go, Andrew just got a bunch of likes for saying the easiest thing that everyone's saying only like three people are even actually mad at this girl and they're all like right-wing idiots so like he's not saying that something that anyone which you i didn't read it because i was just like but these are too much for me thoughts are a little are these real thoughts that you actually have towards that or towards me no towards it like about myself when i when i post those things but i just knew that post you made it because you don't like when people judge you for having mental illness stuff yeah right judge me or just yeah judge anyone i just anyone but it's like but if you didn't suffer with mental illness you probably wouldn't have been as fired up i just have to say and i did but that's just because i'm assuming that for myself been as fired up about it. I just have to say. And I did. But that's just because I'm assuming that for myself,

I get fired up about things like the trans movement. I remember I was like very, and I'm wrapping up, but I remember being obsessed with how no one could understand that when Caitlyn Jenner came out, everyone's just like, what the fuck? And they couldn't understand it.

And I just didn't understand why people couldn't understand that you were, someone could be born in the wrong body, like feel like they were a boy or feel like they were a girl when they were born with a vagina or penis like how could you not understand that and my therapist I used to just go into my therapist's office and go I'm so obsessed with making people understand trans issues and I really can't be friends with people who don't get it who can't empathize with that and she goes are you trans like what's going on and I go I know like no I don't feel like I should be a man or whatever like my pussy does look like a penis sometimes but like that's not that's a joke but like I I the thing is I relate to trans issues and I was passionate about it not because

I'm such a trans advocate and I love trans people yes I do and I empathize with them but it's because I felt like I was born in the wrong body meaning I felt like my sister got the right body and I got some kind of wrong body not that I was assigned the wrong gender but because but because I thought I deserved to have straight hair smooth skin um no acne. And I felt literally wanted to be skinnier, wanted to be taller, wanted to be all these different things.

I felt just the same. Like I knew what it feels like to be born, to feel like God smited you with the wrong body that you mentally, you were meant to look like Giselle, not Nikki Glaser and feeling like it was unjust. And I, I needed people, I was so mad about it because I needed people to understand me. And the thing is, I didn't make that connection

until I was in therapy. And she was like, why are you so upset about this? Because I was like, I guess I'm just a good person that has empathy for trans people. I'm just on the right side of things. No, bitch. It's because it's about you. Well, you've said to me before, you go,

when I don't have makeup on, I feel like sometimes I look like a man. And then when, and then when you, so you understand like getting done up to look more feminine, which a lot of transgender people do. I'm in drag sometimes when I dress up like a woman a lot. And then I feel really comfortable when I dress like a man. Sometimes I don't understand it. I don't yearn to be a man the way that trans people do. I've looked into it to even, because when I met Caitlyn Jenner, she said,

are you trans? Because she sensed my empathy so much and it even made me question it. But I am, I am not trans. I, uh, I, if I were,

well, I'm not counting it out because you can, you know, you can discover these things about yourself later, but I've done a lot of thinking on it and, uh, it's just not me. Um,
