Listen to the I Am Rapaport Stereo Podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts. Here's Nikki. Hello. Noah, you're super loud in my ears, but now I'm turning you down. How are you?
Starting point is 00:03:46 Good morning, everyone, or good afternoon, good week. What's after Easter? You can wear white again? Is that after Easter? I think that's Labor Day or Memorial Day. No, you can't wear it after Labor Day, but I think you can start wearing white at Easter. I don't think there are any rules. You could always wear white. Yeah, you really can. I'm glad we cleared that up. So, Noah, between you and me, I watched something that I did. You know that I don't like to watch myself on things. It's like the worst thing that I can imagine is seeing something. You know what?
Starting point is 00:04:28 I don't mind watching myself on something that's like a year old, but anything sooner than that or over that, I can't. It's such a weird thing for me. Anyway, I watched the documentary, the Netflix documentary Hysterical which um is now on Hulu for everyone who has Hulu it was on FX it premiered the other night and like three nights ago it's on FX on demand that's how I watched it okay so if you have on demand FX on demand or you can get it on Hulu um right, which is where I watched it. And oh my God, first of all, I didn't finish it yet,
Starting point is 00:05:09 but I'm taking my time. It's so freaking good. It's a documentary about female standups. And if you're listening to this podcast, you like female standups, just admit it to yourself. We're kind of the best. And I really do mean that. Like i think female stand-ups they're always my favorite stand-ups um and yeah there are shitty ones out there i'm not gonna lie
Starting point is 00:05:32 there's really bad female stand-ups but uh the my favorite stand-ups are are women and um and all of them were featured in this documentary it follows it's it's really cool how they, you saw it, Noah. Yeah. And you wrote me a really nice message about it that I got today. I don't know when you said it, but sometimes I get things late. And it was so nice. I was getting a lot of messages. What forced me to watch it, because I usually don't like watching things,
Starting point is 00:05:58 was that I was getting a lot of messages from people being like, Nikki, I love you. Nikki, thank you. Nikki, are you okay? Nikki, we're worried about it. Like all these, like, you made me cry and like a lot of stuff. Lorraine Newman, who was one of the first SNL, I think she was on the first cast of SNL. She and I are Twitter friends and she just DM'd me, Nikki, I love you so much. Like period, period, you know? And I was like, what prompted this? And she's like hysterical. And I'm like,
Starting point is 00:06:30 oh dear, I haven't even seen it yet. And she's like, you were so vulnerable. I forget what she said, but it was, so I watched it. Um, and I, like I said, I'm only, I think 45 minutes in and my own story made me cry. Doesn't that feel like another life? If I cry, I mean like tear up a little bit. Well, the interview does feel like another life cause it was right before the
Starting point is 00:06:54 pandemic hit. Like I think it was like end of January, maybe February when I filmed all the stuff for it. Um, and then, but in terms of like, I didn't know what I had said I don't even remember the interview really like I remember it was good and I'm just like always honest so it's just like oh okay whatever they asked me I guess I gave them an answer like it wasn't that much different
Starting point is 00:07:16 than stuff I talk about on podcasts but like when then that story is taken and there's clips from my childhood and pictures from me as a kid and somber music behind it and zooming in on like sad photos. And it's just about, I was talking about how I like, you know, never felt, uh, like I didn't feel like I was pretty enough and it's just like very
Starting point is 00:07:40 heartbreaking. And, um, but it's, it's, it's interesting though, because my story wasn't unique like every they so they follow me judy gold margaret show rachel feinstein um carmen lynch
Starting point is 00:07:55 kelly bachman uh who else eliza slessinger wanda sykes is in it, I think, a bit. Bonnie McFarlane, Jessica Kearson. Sherri Shepherd. Sherri Shepherd is so good. Yeah. And there might be others in it too, but a fortune theme stir. It takes us through what we were like as little girls. We all found standup and felt like a lightning bolt,
Starting point is 00:08:21 which I thought was really interesting. We all had the same story of like, I did it once and I just knew, you know, and I always thought that that was kind of like a cheesy story that I had when I first found it was like a love at first sight with like a passion. Um, and, but it was, it was a pretty universal feeling and all these girls felt less than and silenced. And, you know, a lot of the same reasons that men are drawn to it too I think feeling like you're not good enough I mean I know Andrew is drawn to stand up because he was very tiny and was kind of bullied he was the only Jewish kid in his like Christian school
Starting point is 00:08:59 like feeling like an other which women you know there's a lot of pressure on us. And oftentimes maybe we feel more, well, I don't know. I think men and women have very similar experience, but then it's getting into the trauma of like what trauma we've had in our lives and the sexism in the business. And I have wrongly always been one to say it's no different because here's the thing. It isn't different because I don't know the male experience. So I've wrongly always been one to say it's no different because here's the thing it isn't different because I don't know the male experience so I've always felt like this is just the way it is like I didn't learn empathy until like six years ago so I didn't understand that like other people I'm constantly trying to teach my parents empathy because it's a hard thing to learn if you don't
Starting point is 00:09:43 have it and it seems so easy and everyone thinks they have empathy but like i've told this anecdote before but my dad will be like we'll be at a restaurant and he'd be like i would never just leave our table like that if i was a waitress or whatever that is you know like or like i would never um it will be like at a drive-thru i mean if i was i would never have of of just handed off the drink or like thrown the change like that or whatever it is and i go well um you're also not a black teenager in 2021 like does that make sense that like maybe her life leading up to this moment where she was rude to you or like didn't give you what you wanted was different than your life in Cincinnati in 1962 as a little boy like that maybe and people always go people always um get mad at people where they go like your trauma is no excuse for how you behave because
Starting point is 00:10:40 a lot of people are turned into terrible people because of their trauma right like childhood trauma even adulthood trauma they they take it and they want to hurt everyone in the same way. And some people take that same trauma. Let's talk about a rape. Let's talk about a molestation, abuse of any kind. And they do the opposite and they want to do the opposite with it. Whether you do the opposite with it or whether you inflict more abuse, you can't say, you can't say, if you're one of those people that goes out and goes, I was abused as a child. So I'm kind to everyone. Now you lucked out that that is how you process your trauma. The person that goes out and is mean to everyone and is abusive, didn't choose to process their trauma that way. That's just how they are. There's no free will. I don't want to
Starting point is 00:11:20 get into it, but we need to have empathy all the way down the line. I believe my point is I never considered that other women might have a different experience than me and stand up. And I was a, I just thought I could speak for all women and say, oh, it's fine. I've never had anything happen. But as I'm listening to all these stories being told, I'm like, yeah, that's happened. That's happened. That's happened. That's fine. I've never had anything happen. But as I'm listening to all these stories being told, I'm like, yeah, that's happened. That's happened. That's happened. That's happened.
Starting point is 00:11:48 And I loved that they focused on the fact that there's this whole like, every woman is supposed to just be, in standup is supposed to be like, bring women in, support other female standups, shine a light on other female standups. When really, and there's a room on other female standups when really, and there's a room enough for all of us.
Starting point is 00:12:07 No, there fucking isn't. This myth that there's room for all of us is perpetuated by men. Like who's, why are they saying that? It's not, it's like the same as women who are body positive
Starting point is 00:12:21 when they really hate their bodies just because that's what you're supposed to say. There isn't room for all of us. People still don't have enough women in things. or a body positive when they really hate their bodies, just because that's what you're supposed to say there. There isn't room for all of us. People still don't have enough women and things. There's still lineups on comedy shows with one woman. There's still, this hasn't changed.
Starting point is 00:12:38 And although I do love showcasing new standup female standups, cause they are my favorite standups. I'm not going to sit here and lie to you guys and say that I am not so much more threatened uh by by other women than than I am men. I just am i'm just being honest and if you're not saying that either you're very emotionally and uh self uh actualized and mature and done a lot of work or you're lying because I'm aware of every up and coming young blonde comedian. And guess what? When I click on a video, I, that of a new
Starting point is 00:13:16 comic that's up and coming and really cute and has a substantial following. And I watch a standup clip. I'm secretly crossing my fingers that you're bad. And I'm just being honest with you. Who wants the new generation that's gonna overtake them to be good? I don't, but guess what? They are good. And then you watch it and you go,
Starting point is 00:13:38 actually, I'm learning something from this new generation of women. I have to step aside for them. I'm tired. Stand up to stay great at standup. You have to do it every night. It is like the Olympics. I have won silver at the, I'm like a gymnast in the night in the Olympics in the nineties, female gymnasts in the nineties. They couldn't, I'm not, I don't know if this is a fact, but I'm guessing they couldn't even make the Olympic team now for what gymnasts are capable of now. That doesn't mean they didn't
Starting point is 00:14:09 work as hard. It doesn't mean they weren't as good as athletes. It means the game has changed. Women have been empowered to move their bodies in different ways and try different things. The gymnastics itself is expanding. Comedy itself is expanding. I can't keep up. I don't want to keep up. It's a young person's game. I'm tired. My hymen broke years ago on that balance beam. And I might need to take a step back and let the new back. It's just going to happen. And when the world opens up again, I'm really struggling with moving back to New York now that every that this comedy seller is open again, their shows happening there. And I am itching in my bones to get back out there not because I want to do stand-up But because I want to stay as good as everyone else and I don't like that. So i'm trying to fight it
Starting point is 00:14:53 I'm trying to stay in the cayman islands Mentally and for a couple more weeks after we wrap this shoot until I have to go to la for another gig And that's where i'm standing but i'll tell you this you gotta watch hysterical I've only watched the first 45 minutes but I was just so touched you think you know what a documentary about female stand-up is gonna be and I learned things about female stand-ups as one about myself in the documentary that I didn't know and that's how I feel about that Noah any words about it from someone who saw the whole thing uh I i watched it in two sessions because i can't sit for two hours it was a two-hour documentary but i have to tell you yeah you
Starting point is 00:15:30 just i was itching to get back to it it was really well made it didn't really like feel like it was thinking for me it just told stories really well jessica kearson did an amazing job with it. Yes, she produced it. It was just really nice to see, to get little peeks into the lives of these amazing female comics. Yeah, it was really special. I learned about some of my best friends in comedy, stuff I didn't know about them. And you're right, I like that note.
Starting point is 00:16:02 It didn't think for you, didn't tell you how to feel about everything. But it definitely taught me to have some empathy for myself. I always say, whenever you're feeling mad at yourself and beating yourself up, look at a picture of yourself as a little girl and say what you would say to that little girl. Think of yourself as that little girl because you are that little girl. And i was really emotional about my own story i was like oh my god she's so sad like i lorraine newman myself later on so let's bring andrew and he hasn't seen it yet but he's heard me talk about it we're going to talk about a lot of other things

Starting point is 00:22:40 It is really hard to watch. I want everyone to watch it. She filmed it like in a shack behind her house. And then she played herself. And she keeps like bringing a keyboard, lugging a keyboard into the frame. And then she'll walk out of the frame. And then she enters through the shed playing a guitar. It's so awkward.
Starting point is 00:22:57 It's so – I really recommend everyone watch it because it wasn't good. But I do love Sheryl Crow. And this was before COVID. Yeah, yeah. She was just doing this before covid uh no that it was just uh it was not a great it was not yeah this oh my god look at it okay so jump ahead noah so she's like outside a shed playing guitar and it sounds okay now oh then she's sitting with herself so it's like two of her but she just keeps like bringing in different equipment and it's just like doesn't really work and then she she thinks she's cool this it's kind of cut if you watch it

Starting point is 00:23:57 but everyone's allowed to fail including myself you don't even see her well she probably shot it alone but the thing is she keeps walking off like she's gonna get including myself you don't even see her yeah it's not well she probably shot it alone um and she but the thing is she keeps walking off like she's gonna get something and then she just comes back in with the same guitar it just like doesn't really work for me anyway what was your first cd my first tape i remember more was beastie boys you know the one with girls all i really want

Starting point is 00:29:48 everyone's just so so so sad and there and I wanted to learn the song to play with my dad and I wanted to sing it and have him play guitar this was before I was playing guitar and there's one line that it was like even though the kingdom of God is within you and it says kingdom of God and my dad was like I don kingdom of God. And my dad was like, I don't want to learn that song. It's about God. And I'm like, it's,
Starting point is 00:30:08 it's just the concept of God still exists. Dad, people still think there's God. We can still sing about it. So I never got to sing. That's why I learned the guitar myself. Maybe he could take that lyric off and let you just sing that one by himself. He could just mouth it.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Everyone should listen to that song today. It's so, it's, it's a cheery song, but it's actually and it's like that thing I post on Instagram where that dinosaur is doing stand-up and it's crying. And I said it's like every performer. Everyone's just sad underneath everything.
Starting point is 00:30:34 It's what inspires us to do everything is like sadness and fear. How'd you sleep last night? Slept on the couch where you're sitting right now. I know. You, you, um, why? I don't know sometimes i need a tv and some open space and and there's more down here i don't know what was going on in my brain yeah you had a little rough day we had a long day yesterday on set um worked all day yeah it was a
Starting point is 00:30:58 great day though it was such a good day i like working more than not working it's just the it's this show is my favorite thing i've ever done next to dancing with the stars. Well, those podcasts, obviously when we do the, I mean, certain days are more important than other,
Starting point is 00:31:11 or just they're bigger for us. Yeah. But those big days that we had yesterday are the best days. Yeah. We're just at this amazing house all day long shooting different scenes. And it's honestly, you guys, I,
Starting point is 00:31:24 this show is like, I can't believe i get to be this show is my ideal ideal uh job like i've never had a job that fits me more than actually podcasting is my ideal but in terms of on camera this job nails it for me i mean seeing flavor flay every day i mean it's he has always been someone that i've wanted in my sphere yeah i know you always had that clock around your neck yeah i mean i have i wear a sundial around my neck yeah um because i'm just trying to be green about it and he respects that and i just he's just an easy guy to work with i just love him so much people are really gonna write in being like are are you working with Flavor Flav? No, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:32:06 The gossip blogs are going to go crazy. They're going to go batshit. Flavor Flav! So I slept good. I haven't been sleeping great, but my voice is on the mend. I'm just feeling a lot of feelings. I'm just enthusiastic all the time.
Starting point is 00:32:23 I'm just so happy. I've got so happy. You know, I've got like crushes and like when, if I've got a crush, I am just a little happy camper. And if I have a great job on top of that, literally nothing is wrong with my life right now. I don't even know who that person is where nothing is wrong with my life. I that's i love to hear that i really try to think of anything wrong um um i um i mean maybe you don't have to search for it why do we search for things that are wrong no because it's kind of fun it's fun to find one to find the thing that's wrong with your life and it's so stupid and then you go wow my life is pretty great if
Starting point is 00:33:03 that's the only thing wrong uh i i get spray tan on everything because i'm not getting spray tans and so i have to paint my body every night and it so everything i own is orange that's the only thing going on with my life and guess what it's not that bad because i got other people doing my laundry i gotta do it chris de stephano there it is funny though if you tried to hide like it's hard for like like if a murderer was trying to find you like he would just follow the tan yeah i mean you can follow the tan i mean i got it on my dress last night that was supposed to be like a perfect immaculate dress and my makeup artist i turned around my makeup artist goes because the wardrobe stylist is so scared about getting tan on everything and the makeup
Starting point is 00:33:38 artist puts it on and so she felt responsible even though it was my fault i got it on the dress and robin goes and i turn around i go what what? And she's like, the rack moved. And I'm like, what? And she straight up lied to my goddamn face. And then Julie, the wardrobe girl, sees it and goes, I know there's tan there. And Robin's like, that's what I was taught. That's what I gasped at. I'm like, why can't you just pee on it?
Starting point is 00:34:01 But I was like, I understand lying in that moment. You were scared. And I go, it's not shit. It is tan. Because it looks like a streak of shit. It does. And it could have been last night. I'll tell you.
Starting point is 00:34:12 I got a little, I got like, right before we taped, I was like, I gotta go. And then it was one of those that you just like, it's not, it's not. It reminded me of on Parks and Rec when Andy's character says, doctor, I keep wiping. And it's like, it won't stop. It's like, I reminded me of on Parks and Rec when Andy's character says, doctor, I keep wiping and it's like, it won't stop. It's like I'm wiping a marker.
Starting point is 00:34:32 It always makes me think of that. How many wipes do you do? I mean, if I'm taking like most, I would say 90% of my number twos are like barely anything on the first wipe. Yeah. I mean, I have really clean. my number twos are like barely anything on the first wipe. What? Yeah. I mean, I have really clean We have different assholes. I'll tell you that. Really? How many wipes are you looking at?
Starting point is 00:34:54 A lot of wet wipes. A lot of licks to drag that lollipop, boy. I would say That old owl is like bites your asshole finally just to get to the center. Oh, it'd be great. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:07 I'm probably a good 15, 20. Do you use wet wipes? No, because of the environment. You said. I know. You yelled at me when I want to put them in the toilet, put them in the trash can. Don't flush. No one wants shit in the trash can, man.
Starting point is 00:35:19 Just ball it up and stick it at the bottom. Shittens. Okay. Let's get to the news. We got some good stories coming up boy you heard it here first yeah you heard it here first did i did i hear it here first what do you got for us andrew oh man i hope first of all not only do i hope people are having fun out there i hope people are having a lot of fun oh my god whoa and also have all the swells you
Starting point is 00:35:44 can have yeah i i agree with that i mean just smile out there i'm looking at the ocean right now and i'm looking at swells i think is there are those swells yeah those are swells sweet there's a different kind of swells but they're swell swells well having swells out there yeah swell uh okay first story there we go amazon apologizes for saying that their workers don't have to pee in bottles. It's so funny that the fact that Amazon workers peeing in bottles is not the headline itself. It's that Amazon apologizes for not acknowledging that this is a thing that happens all the time. Because they, I guess, someone made a statement.
Starting point is 00:36:20 Because they're trying to unionize in, I believe, Alabama. Yes. And they're not allowing it. And someone made a comment about how they make workers pee in water bottles. And they go, that's just a hearsay. That's not really a story. Amazon was like, yeah, yeah, show us proof of that. And then they had all the proof that was honestly in articles and substantiated.
Starting point is 00:36:45 Is that a word? I don't know. It's a big word. It is a word that I could have made up. That was like, honestly, like in articles and like, you know, substantiated. Is that a word? I don't know. It's a big word. It is a word that I could have made up. Does it work here? Who knows? Is a made up word still a word?
Starting point is 00:36:53 I think so. Hey, substantiated. Yep. Yeah. No, I mean, look, Amazon. I feel like Amazon's in the news every day for people just like talking shit about it. It's like constantly. We gotta talk to an Amazon worker on the show. If you're an Amazon worker,
Starting point is 00:37:06 write into the show, uh, the Nikki Glaser podcast at Gmail. And, um, don't give us like guys, if you're writing into the show, let's,
Starting point is 00:37:13 let's keep it a little bit shorter if you can, just because we get a lot of mail and like one paragraph would be perfect, like five sentences. And then, um, if we need more information, we can follow up and get more from you, but you can just keep it short that way.
Starting point is 00:37:26 It just assures that we'll read your thing. Cause when we get a huge letter, it's like we look at that and we go, Oh, that's probably a death threat of some sort. And then we, we just move on because what we don't know won't kill us. Yes,
Starting point is 00:37:36 it could. Also send with newspaper cutouts. Yeah. Stop doing that. It's, it takes too long. You got to scan it. Just type a couple sentences.
Starting point is 00:37:43 You're just scanning it? Well, if you're making the post, to send it digitally, you got to scan it just type a couple sentences you're just scanning it well if you're making the post to send it digitally you got to scan it and that's all you gotta buy a scanner or you gotta get the scan app and it's just a whole process and there's in in app purchases and you don't want to get beholden to something that you're only going to use once you're going to pay for down the road because you don't cancel your subscription you get it so i do like that this guy's combining old school with new school, though. Yeah, he faxes us stuff, too. And we didn't even give that a fax number. So anyway, if you work at Amazon, we'd like to hear from you. I want to hear what's going on in there.
Starting point is 00:38:11 What is it, Andrew? Jeff Bezos has such a punchable face. Oh, my God. Does he ever? I mean, he probably has the most punchable face on Earth. He looks like one of those dolls you would blow up and, like, you punch them and they, like, rock back and come back. He looks like Dr. Evil if he did abs like worked out oh god i think you know what's annoying about this that that annoys me about what is that skilled workers versus unskilled workers that
Starting point is 00:38:35 whole thing of like well they're replaceable so we could have them just pee and like we don't have to care about them they're not worth anything because they're unskilled workers sick of uh you know just people not being paid enough for jobs because rich people are so fucking greedy i read a tweet today that said i don't mind paying higher taxes to help out people who make less money than me but i have a big problem paying higher taxes because people who are richer than me don't want to pay them. And it's so true. Go fuck yourself if you're rich. I understand wanting to accrue wealth
Starting point is 00:39:12 and I understand as someone who has more money than I need myself, I'm speaking as one of those people, it's disgusting. And I look forward to paying more taxes. I literally do and I think that I should. I need to give more taxes. I literally do. And I think that I should, I need to give more of my wealth away. Everyone should. I know you're like, but I have children. You don't need $10 million for your three children. They'll be okay. Guess what? The
Starting point is 00:39:37 world ain't going to be around that much longer. So they don't need that much. I'm just tired of all these excuses of wanting to have more wealth. Don't you already? What more do you need? Andrew, do you want to speak to this side of things? I know we've already talked about this before, but. Yeah, no, I mean, it's getting. Why can't minimum wage be $25 and we all take a little bit of a pay cut?
Starting point is 00:39:58 Because I don't think that the business could be profitable if you pay that much. That's all. But yes. Yes, it could be. Honestly, McDonald's just acknowledged that if they raised I was looking at headlines. If they acknowledged that they raised their wages,
Starting point is 00:40:14 they would still be profitable. They just found that research. I don't know if they're going to do anything with it. The economic issue, if I could just put in what I've been reading is that, yeah, Amazon could certainly afford to increase their wage and so could McDonald's. But then what do the smaller businesses who like aren't as profitable and like global like Amazon and McDonald's raise their prices?
Starting point is 00:40:47 Raise their prices. Oh, and then the the people and that affects the local everything goes up who can't afford to pay all right well i don't this isn't freakingomics you guys and so i'm talking out of turn i'm sorry i'm gonna get a lot of angry emails that are up to five sentences long about why i'm wrong but probably from my brother i'm sorry you should be giving more money ten percent of your money you should give to charity at least 10 or me um what what do you do you think like but here's the thing with amazon we could all just stop shopping there um that's that's what I wanted to get into I haven't bought anything from amazon in over a year and a half I I'm very proud of myself. Wow. That is awesome. Seriously. It is so hard to cut down on Amazon. I am absolutely addicted to the fast, um, getting
Starting point is 00:41:31 whatever I want very quickly. I try to now buy, look for things elsewhere. I'm not great about it. I am probably down. Um, I would say 60% with my Amazon orders and I was going to say 80, but I wanted to be honest with you guys. It is probably down 60%. I can do better but Robin, my makeup stylist just got these really cute tank tops and I was like, where the hell did you get those? Those are perfectly fitting and she was like, Amazon.
Starting point is 00:41:55 I was like, fuck! I was very late to Amazon. I didn't shop at Amazon until this year. Have you ever gotten a bottle of piss from Amazon? I did. They have the best. They really have good piss. Yeah, it's fresh. It's right there. And it's like filled with like just stress hormones and sleeplessness
Starting point is 00:42:12 and it's really viscous. You know what I love about it? You order it, it's there in 30 minutes. They're just standing outside with your piss. Yeah. They just toss it in your yard when they're driving by. Pissing in a bottle, and by, it's just, I can't get a bottle. And by the way,
Starting point is 00:42:26 these are all men because women cannot piss in a goddamn Gatorade bottle. Even if you're giving us a bigger hole with Gatorade, I'm talking about a water bottle. Most of the time guys can put their little pee hole up. Why can't a woman? Because we don't know where our pee hole really comes from. It is like a leak on a cave. It just kind of comes out.
Starting point is 00:42:43 It's like a, a Jesus statue crying and, you know, blood or whatever. You can't finger yourself and feel your hole, where the hole comes from. No. Noah? I, pee hole? I just know that it comes from down there. It's definitely below the clit, obviously.
Starting point is 00:42:59 Yes. Clit's like the top part. Can we figure this out? It's the urethra, but it's like literally like a little slit. It's like a crack that you wouldn't be able to see. Like, I mean, I'm sure you'd be able to see, but I just haven't gotten that close in. No, my point though is like if you have a Gatorade bottle, the
Starting point is 00:43:13 piss is still like thin. You don't have like a wide piss. Unless you have a strong stream, it kind of just like splatters. It comes out. As soon as it comes out of the hole, it sticks to the sides you know when you have like a um a leak in a ceiling and it kind of the water travels yeah yeah to the right and then drips that's if you're and when you're peeing in front of people or into a bottle
Starting point is 00:43:35 it's really hard to come out of the gate with a full stream um and like a powerful stream it usually trickles and then you have a big old mess. Let's get to the next story. Have you ever tried it, by the way? Yeah, I've had to do it when I was stuck in traffic. And how did that work? Did you piss all over the car? No, because we had a really big cup, a big gulp. But you'll be surprised how quickly you fill up a cup and how much pee, because you have no idea how much you're pissing when it's just into a toilet old big gold pussy glazer yep they all right next door here we go hey you having
Starting point is 00:44:10 fun i hope so i hope people are having a great time out there they needed a study to figure out that men with psychopathic tendencies are better at faking remorse and tricking people into gaining their trust yes so they did a study where they had a bunch of men on a college campus, thousands, do a study where they had to tell a story where they hurt someone and then they had to fake an apology for it. Noah, was that right? So 46 men participated and recorded themselves on video telling a story where they showed remorse.
Starting point is 00:44:47 And the 1600 college students watched the videos. Oh, watched it. Okay. So they had 46 men and then they also had those men take a psychopath test or like a rating along a psychopath. So these weren't like, these were men with that had psychopathic tendencies. I think out of 46 people, you'd be lucky to find a psychopath. But we all are guys, I guess, on a sliding scale. The men that were more psychopathic were better at faking remorse, which, uh, psychopaths I don't believe are capable of even that emotion, but they're so good at being
Starting point is 00:45:17 manipulative and getting what they want and, uh, exploiting people that they have actually, and the people that raided psychopaths or like raided all these guys based on like how true they felt their remorse was, the psychopaths not only came out as like the ones that seemed most earnest, but they were able to deceive, the people ranking these people, the thousands of college students watching these videos also took a
Starting point is 00:45:49 personality test to measure their emotionality and how emotional they are. And emotional women were more deceived by psychopaths than normal people that have a regular emotionality. So it's almost like biologically psychopaths have been uh wired to take advantage of emotional women more than anyone else so ladies watch out what's the difference between a psychopath and a sociopath um i'm not sure but a sociopath is often um it's also called now i think the proper term for it is antisocial personality disorder. And I don't think psychopaths necessarily are violent,
Starting point is 00:46:31 although male psychopaths are much more common and just more diagnosed. It's not that they're more common because a psychopathic trait is violence and women aren't as prone to violence. So much like ADHD or any kind of personality disorder, they display different ways in women. So here we have that some experts see sociopaths as hotheaded. They act without thinking how others will be affected. Psychopaths are more
Starting point is 00:46:55 cold-hearted and calculating. So sociopaths don't have as much control, it seems, as psychopaths. And they carefully plot their moves and use aggression in a planned out way to get what they want. Okay, so. Wow, psychopaths seem to do more homework. Yeah, psychopaths are probably a little bit more intelligent.
Starting point is 00:47:17 And just, I mean, I read this one book called like The Mind of a Psychopath or Confessions of a psychopath. And it's this woman who wrote a book as anonymously as a psychopath. And it opens with her torturing an animal. I mean, these are like the things that it was so, and then I watched this video. You guys got to watch it. It's like an interview with a, someone who has a, uh, antisocial personality disorder. It's this black guy. It's this kid who interviews really interesting people, burn victims, just people with weird facial disfigurements,
Starting point is 00:47:48 people with crazy personality disorders, and he interviews them very blatantly. I forget his name, but if you look it up and you look up an interview with antisocial personality disorder, you'll find it. It's this black guy that is talking very bluntly to the camera, answering all these questions. It's fascinating.
Starting point is 00:48:04 He just goes, yeah, I mean, I don't do it. I'm a sociopath pretty much, but I don't feel things. I rarely feel things. And everything I do is in order to make my life better. So I'm not capable of romantic love, but if I meet a woman who loving her and giving her the love she needs makes my life better than I can do it, but I'm never going to actually have human love for her the way other people need it. But also that doesn't mean that a woman can't love a sociopath because maybe someone just needs someone to act love. Like love languages, people go, oh, like if my love language is touch and we're a couple and you don't really like touching, but you give that to me because I need it.
Starting point is 00:48:51 How is that not sociopathic? Because you're not really actually enjoying the touch. You're doing it to make me happy, which will then make you happy, right? No, I see what you're saying with that. I think like, is being a psychopath, if they're calculated and they're only doing things for their own selfish gain but it's somehow like nice to you
Starting point is 00:49:10 you know like you can like actually be a positive psychopath like i think we put psychopaths in bad light you know let's let's start they let's start loving i think they're incurable too so i i have a lot of empathy for psychopaths even though that's something they can't feel. All right. So let's get to why do I care? Why do you care? Why do I care? Why do I care, Andrew?
Starting point is 00:49:33 What's our story today? Kate Winslet says she knows at least four actors hiding their sexuality due to homophobia in Hollywood. Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. I would figure it'd be more. There's just common, there's just, when you move to Hollywood, you just find out a couple things, you know?
Starting point is 00:49:53 You get, when you get in the business, your eyes are open to these secrets that are just, everyone knows the truth, but everyone just turns a blind eye to it. So there's definitely closeted men. It's almost – I would say every male actor is rumored to be gay at one point or another, and then I would say 90% of those rumors are true. 90%? I'm kidding with that number.
Starting point is 00:50:16 But you'd be shocked. The people I've heard who are gay, I just can't even believe. And if you want to read who speculated, go to the, thread about this. There's a new story on Reddit that this is where I found this new story. And in the comments are just stories upon stories about who they, who they know and all these stories about who's, who's gay. And, you know, it's, it's none of our business truly, but the reason they But the reason they're closeted is because, you know, actors and theater, like everyone supports gay people. Hollywood's very, like, loves gay people. But for big box office actors, studios are fucking terrified to put a gay lead in because as a romantic lead or whatever.
Starting point is 00:51:01 It's just, it's too much of a risk for them for whatever reason. And it's pretty sad that these actors have to like just live these they they they love their their um art more than you know or fame truly who they really are so they have to like sneak around which by the way sneaking around can be very hot but what but it would be a torturous way to live and i feel really bad for people who are closeted. Yeah. I mean, especially with paparazzi, like you couldn't go out to dinner with your boyfriend or your husband. There's like, whatever this guy on Reddit was saying that he watches all these,
Starting point is 00:51:32 or he listens to a podcast, a paparazzi podcast and all these paparazzi just talk about how this one actor has all these boyfriends driving him around. And like, if they're not drivers, cause they're all a type of boy and they're all a type of guy. And it's like a type of car that wouldn't be a driver's car and it's like they just know he's gay and they don't like they're also giving each other road hand which and paparazzi are not gonna imply that someone's gay because if they and no magazines by the way
Starting point is 00:52:01 you go why doesn't us weekly break with the story that this actor is gay when all these paparazzi have seen him be gay a million times and it's because us weekly if that if they come out and say that actor is gay that actor's publicist will never let them have their other clients so then they'll get cut off from beyonce and other clients that they have so no one's willing to break someone's and and that's that huge no-no, obviously, to out someone. And it's also like they're just good people. Yeah. Paparazzi are really.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Actually, the ones that I've encountered are good people. They're just like photographers that just realize, oh, I can make a lot of money doing this thing. Yeah. It's just nice so that they have good hearts at Us Weekly. I mean, everyone's trying their best, and I feel bad for it. Yes, but they're not, you know, you got to. Why do we care so much about someone's sexuality? It's like, do whatever the fuck you want,
Starting point is 00:52:57 and then separate it with your stupid brain. Sex is fascinating, and secrets are fascinating, and gossip is fascinating, and celebrities are fascinating because it's people we all know. It's like family. It's insane that a whole globe can know one person like it's like your uncle and have this kind of relationship with them. So that's why celebrities are fun. They bring us together like we're all family.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Do you think they're aging and stuff? We got to go to the next segment. It's time for listener mail. You guys they're aging and stuff? We gotta go. Oh. Okay, next segment. It's time for listener mail. You guys send it in, we kind of read it. Or at least Noah does. She found some goodies for us. Let's get into it. Thanks for writing in. You can write in
Starting point is 00:53:35 anything you want. Advice, comments, questions, just confessions. We got a kuh. Guys, kuh's really catching on. I love it so much when I hear it said. Whoever sent this in nailed it. So someone said, our listener, this is a bestie,
Starting point is 00:53:55 said, I can't remember how K was spelled. Listen, spell it however you want. It's C-O-U apostrophe H-L, but close enough. Regardless, when I was 22, I bought a Gucci watch that I couldn't afford. It was like $1,000. My self-esteem was such that when I would go out to the bar or wherever, I would sit with my wrist kind of out in a prominent position so that hopefully people would notice and give me a compliment.
Starting point is 00:54:16 Sincerely, a best friend. Ke. Ke. I love that you knew you were Ke. We've all been that way where you like try to show off this new thing you got you idiot spent a thousand dollars on a watch that's and oh my god Andrew you relate to this right yeah dude I spent forty five hundred dollars on a Panerai watch that was 40 millimeters which is gigantic what gigantic when did you get a watch for forty five hundred dollars
Starting point is 00:54:42 I would did very well for I told you, for three days, I was very rich. $4,500? What'd you do with the watch? Actually, I got it on sale because my buddy's a diamond dealer, so I got it for like $3,700, and then I went broke, and then I owed the government a ton of money. I had to sell the watch,
Starting point is 00:55:00 and I actually made about $400 on the watch. It was my only good investment. Oh my god. But I used to, I know exactly what this person, you'd wear the watch. It was my only good investment. Oh my God. But I used to, I know exactly what this person you'd wear to watch. I'm sure you like read somewhere that watches got chicks or like something happened where I got, you saw a guy with a watch and the girl like was blowing it.
Starting point is 00:55:16 My two best friends that were like very successful and hot had the Panerai. So I was like, once I got money, I got the Radomir Panerai and I was freaking feeling myself myself and you know what it did for my sex life uh nothing yeah i do love a good watch though on a guy but you can't have dirty shoes in a watch like a watch isn't gonna save you unless everything else is kind of tight well that's what guys do they rock a rolex and then they dress like shit and then they're like i'm rich but i'm also like fucking whatever, dude. Someone told me to get a Rolex recently. I told you to.
Starting point is 00:55:46 People are like steering me towards Rolexes. I think I would, you can get it insured, I know, and it would be fine. But I feel like I would get it damaged. I would lose it. And I also think it's just so stupid to spend that much money on a thing that, honestly, you wear a watch. That's your great-grandfather's watch? Just a grandpa. Another day I asked Andrew what the time was, and and he goes i don't have my phone on me i go
Starting point is 00:56:08 you have a watch on you and he goes it doesn't work yeah that app doesn't work on the watch he was just using his and i go can you are you dming on that watch like what's happening why is that watchy it was just for luck i mean it was just a bracelet at the point you were wearing a bracelet with hands yeah well here's the thing the watch works but i have to wind it every couple days it doesn't matter whether or not you have to wind it when you were wearing it it did not work it did not serve a function other than just being a bracelet so you're wearing a bracelet yeah my grandpa's bracelet look glad we said a lot to me for your cut that was a great cut also we got a letter from the netherlands because we know where that is this is dear
Starting point is 00:56:46 Nikki Andrew and Noah since we're best friends now and Nikki mentioned that she wanted to visit the Netherlands let me plead Nikki and Andrew to please come do a show in Amsterdam you'd love it here the crowd is very international on a personal note I've been a fan of Nikki since it's here on The Fix which is a Netflix show and last year I got diagnosed with incurable cancer
Starting point is 00:57:02 and Nikki's daily podcast really helped me a lot even though our troubles were very different, I felt a strong connection. Thank you so much. I'm really glad there is a new podcast and it's great that Noah and Andrew are now part of the conversation. You three make a great team.
Starting point is 00:57:14 Love, Jerowan. P.S. Holland is a part of the Netherlands. The country is officially named the Netherlands. Actually, Kingdom of the Netherlands, but WTF is what he says. Jerowan, I don't know if you're a boy or a girl, but I am so sorry about your incurable cancer. And it sounds like you have a great positive attitude and that's gotta be a fucking mind fuck to just know that you have something
Starting point is 00:57:39 that's gonna take you out one day. Um, and I'm really sorry for that. But I am very inspired by the tone of your letter. And thank you for relating to the podcast I did over the summer in which literally I thought I kind of had a terminal illness, to be honest with you, because a lot of ways depression can seem that way. Like I this is going to kill me eventually, you know, so I don't know if you're referring to that as what you related to. But thank you so much for writing in do you want to say anything to this person just that uh thanks for clearing up the netherlands thing and sorry about your cancer you know jeroen loved that no no jeroen i i know he loved that and okay i i like it is amazing
Starting point is 00:58:22 because i think if i had incurable I couldn't write an email like this. That was like, I know that's your biggest fear. Have writing email. Yeah. Well, you know, yes.
Starting point is 00:58:33 All right. Uh, we got to get to the next one. This is an advice. We'll give some advice. She says, I'm a 27 year old girl who hasn't had sex for the past year and four months, year and four months.
Starting point is 00:58:43 My celibacy isn't for religious reasons. More so the fact that i'm tired of sleeping with guys who just don't care about me and eventually go shortly after hooking up girl i fail you that's why i haven't had sex since june of 2019 and that was only with an ex-boyfriend who i already knew was not going to ever love me and before that the last time i I vulnerably had sex with someone new was probably like eight years ago. So she says, my best friend is recently single and has a handful of short-term hookups and had a handful of short-term hookups immediately after. Since January, she's had a bit of a dry spell. She keeps complaining how she hasn't had sex in such a long time. And it's getting annoying hearing about her complain because it happens often she always prefaces the comment like i know you're the last person i should
Starting point is 00:59:29 be complaining to but i want to be a good friend and a sounding board but it's getting frustrating for me to hear about her dry spell when i've been struck in this but when i've been stuck in the sahara for well over a year have you ever had to deal with something like this any tips from me rebecca oh rebecca i hear you and i think you should still keep your plan to not sleep with Have you ever had to deal with something like this? Any tips for me, Rebecca? Oh, Rebecca, I hear you. And I think you should still keep your plan to not sleep with people who don't care about you. Because as I've said a million times before men, after they orgasm, especially if it's vaginal penetration, they definitely, their interest for you goes down a lot. And it'd be best to wait until a man, you know, a man loves you, like truly loves
Starting point is 01:00:06 you romantically. However that feels to you before you let him inside you because you are risking abandonment afterwards. And it's not even their fault. They're biologically wired to abandon us after they come because we're all wired to be like, you know, on the great planes, living in tribes and a guy to comfort you and cuddle you after he comes is a waste of his energy as a caveman or whatever. So it's not their fault that men get turned off after they come, but we have to go into sexual relationships knowing that that is a huge possibility. And for me, it's become like, I am terrified of men coming at my hand because I don't want to be abandoned because it's happened so many times
Starting point is 01:00:46 where we even joke about it beforehand. Like, you're probably going to not like me after this. And they're like, yeah, right. And then afterwards they still shut down. It's like, I have been traumatized by it. So I get where you're at, but- But what about her friend? But the friend thing, just tell your friend, be honest with your friend.
Starting point is 01:01:07 Say, listen, friend, I when you constantly preface things with I know you're the last person I should be. That really feels bad to me. Just speak from your feelings to your friend and your friend will probably get defensive because she doesn't understand her feelings. But, um, I think, and I think you should have an open discussion about why you've been waiting and maybe why your friend should maybe do the same thing and not be trying to fill her holes to fill a hole in her soul. And, um, and get the, get the book, uh, uh book uh uh what's it called getting to i do and read that together and learn about why uh why it's so hard to get a man to commit and learn how to actually get a man to commit it's called getting to i do and it's by dr pat allen and i think create a book club with this girl but a friend constantly bragging or like talking, complaining about things that you like.
Starting point is 01:02:06 If incurable cancer writer had a friend that was constantly, you know, complaining about a canker sore. That's just a lack of empathy and a friendship that you would probably expect. So you just need you need to be honest. And I know that's scary because your friend might go, well, I can't even be honest with you. It's just like what I'm feeling. Well, then that's probably not a good friend if they're not going to hear you out. Andrew, what do you think?
Starting point is 01:02:29 I think she should fuck me. All right. Well, thank you to our listeners for writing in. Final thought, Andrew. Any final thoughts for the show so far? I mean, yeah, it was a great show a lot of singing it was a fun roller coaster of the show and did you get fingered on this roller coaster i mean have we talked about that on the show yeah yeah yeah fear fear bro i uh yeah no this is a
Starting point is 01:02:59 great show i love hearing back from the listeners i really do i think it's like it makes me feel more connected to them like oh we're not just speaking into the ether like oh there are people listening that you know with incurable cancer and they're laughing from us like that one lady put a post up of uh you know her during chemo they're listening to us and laughing like sweet a woman yeah she was getting chemo and she was like oh i'm listening to the nikki laser podcast and it was so touching and i said to andrew i go that's so sweet that i go it's funny though i bet a lot of listeners are going through worse things than that when they're listening you know just like in the car with their screaming kids like just staring despondently at the pavement ahead of them as they drive and contemplate or they have like a canker sore yeah no but i mean like you know know, chemo, we always go,
Starting point is 01:03:45 oh my God, that's the worst thing. And I'm not to say that it's not. It's obviously like so terrible. But I think that a lot of people listen to podcasts when they're going through like a job that is just sucking their soul or they're sitting across from a husband who's playing video games, who doesn't love them anymore
Starting point is 01:04:02 and they feel like they need to leave or they're a wife who just hates your guts and is probably cheating on you like people are going through terrible things while they're listening to us all the time and I really appreciate it I do podcast get me through such terrible times when I'm depressed and I listen to us when you're
Starting point is 01:04:20 happy listen to us when you're depressed right to us I love you so much besties yeah and also like chemo's terrible no i'm i'm i wasn't no i know i mean chemo's fucking awful and i my heart goes out to shannon our listener i loved her so much i um it was because my dad was a cancer doctor i would see i i had to work there over the summer and you know how much of a hypochondriac i am and i would have to that must have been so hard for you working with people with cancer. I'm just kidding. But seeing like people with chemo,
Starting point is 01:04:52 like it, and my dad went through chemo. Uh, so I'm just trying to play the victim here so I could get laid by that girl who hasn't been laid in a year. Oh, I think you're mixing up our, our,
Starting point is 01:05:02 Oh, Oh, you were, Oh, I thought you were talking about the, the person who might be a girl who has a curable cancer yeah no not her i know although i would i would fuck i'd fuck that person too listen if your make a wish is to bang andrew colin we can make it happen oh listen we are not making fun of cancer here we are only making jokes
Starting point is 01:05:20 because life is so fucking terrible and if you can't laugh how are you going to get through it um i love you guys i hope you're all healthy and safe and um thank you for being our best friends yeah thank you for being our best friends see you tomorrow and hit me up if you're sahara girl that's not her name she's dry as a sarah her name was rebecca she's dry as a Sahara.
