Here's Nikki.
Hello.
Noah, you're super loud in my ears, but now I'm turning you down.
How are you?
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?
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,
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
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,
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,
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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
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
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
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.
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
on the show today we got a lot to get to we're back we have four shows this week i'm so excited
i missed you guys my best friends let's get into it. Andrew!

Wow, very powerful.
I'm Ellie Flynn, and I'm an investigative journalist.
When a group of models from the UK wanted my help,
I went on a journey deep into the heart
of the adult entertainment industry.
I really wanted to be a player boy in my dog.
Lingerie, topless.
I said, yes, please.
Because at the centre of this murky world
is an alleged predator.
You know who he is because of his pattern of behaviour.
He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it.
He's everywhere and has been everywhere.
It's so much worse and so much more widespread than I had anticipated.
Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in.
It's not just me. We're an army in comparison to him.

When I smoke weed, I get lost in the music.
I like to isolate each instrument.
The rhythmic bass, the harmonies on the piano, the sticky melody.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Careful, babe. There's someone crossing the street.
Sorry, I didn't see him there.
If you feel different, you drive different.
Don't drive high. It's dangerous and illegal everywhere.

and there's a whole lot of things catching my eyes these days. Here's a clip from one of my
favorite episodes. You are not a real fighter. You will never be discussed anywhere in boxing
history ever. Fake Paul. The movie is The App Apprentice and the movie is about young Donald Trump and his
apprentice Roy Cohen real character obviously both are real characters it kind of has a Scarface
vibe to it which I thought was very interesting listen to the I Am Rap Report Stereo Podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts.
All righty, let's get to it.
Andrew, welcome to the show, buddy.
Hey there.
Hey.
In the middle of the night.
I'm gonna ask you how you slept.
I slept okay.
Yeah?
That was my first CD.
Billy Joel.
I don't know what mine was.
My first tape, I think, was.
I didn't ask you, so.
No, I did.
I was going to, but you just already jumped in.
I mean, that's how conversation works.
Yeah, yeah.
You don't only talk when asked a question.
All right.
That's a good point.
Well, I slept great.
Thank you for asking.
Oh, I guess we never even got into me sleeping.
In the middle of the night, Billy Joel and Amy Grant was also my first CD.
What was your first CD?
Amy Grant.
She was the all-American, Midwestern-looking.
Baby, baby, I'm standing with an ocean to love you with the sweetest song. the ocean i loved her oh my god and her christmas album is like still one of the best her and cheryl crowe had a similar
vibe a little bit amy grant was always singing about jesus you just didn't know it till she came out with some more pointed records.
It's very sneaky, huh?
Yeah.
I mean, and then who did you compare it to?
Sheryl Crow.
Sheryl Crow.
Yeah, Sheryl Crow was not.
I love Sheryl Crow.
Oh, my God.
She's so sexy.
Oh, and she sang with Kid Rock.
Oh, my God.
You guys have to go watch her.
My dad and I watched over the pandemic.
She was on Fallon, and we love her. My dad and I watched over the pandemic. She was on Fallon
and we love her, my dad and I.
But she was doing
Tom Petty's
Let's Get
to the Point. I think it was that one.
Let's Roll. Another Joy.
I think it was that song. Yeah, you don't know how it feels.
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.
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
you guys you'll realize that cheryl crow is cut and she's wearing a weird outfit and it just doesn't
it doesn't work i mean at least she tried i mean is that in her backyard yeah I mean it's clearly in her backyard this looks like the Unabomber
it really does look like the Unabomber
oh my god
and those chairs she's sitting on look like they were
in an inferno and pulled
from like rubble
yeah I mean it's just not good
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
is girls in the morning it's girls and in the evening it's

Black Hole Sun.
But I always used to sing Michael's Son.

Michael's Son won't you come?
And wash away the rain. Michael's Son won't you come?? And wash away the rain.
Michael's son.
Who is Michael's son?
And there's like melting people on the MTV video.
I loved it.
It was so good.
Black hole son.
Black hole son.
It really picks up.
Oh, I loved that song.
Oh, that's a great one.
I love misheard lyrics i remember watching a today
show segment when i was a kid and uh they said that matt lauer was like talking to someone who
wrote a book about misheard lyrics and it was like count the headlights on the highway and i
was picturing like headlights on the highway i had what were some of yours from do you remember
like no give me one of yours i had uh i in an argument, like a true argument with my brother over, hey, jealousy, because
I thought it was hair jealousy.
And I bet him.

Did you just think they were doing like a pun about like hair gel and jealousy?
I wish I was that smart.

my like you become a person where it's like i'm not listening to my parents shit they're listening
to this dave matthews band under the table and dreaming boring adult music was eventually fall
in love with it and one day in 10th grade or ninth grade,
I would be laying on my bedroom floor,
listening to satellite and something would happen to my vagina.
That would steal my fate.
It turned into a robot.
There was something about satellite.
I remember laying on my white carpet and it was like set to let,
and I was like,
I am now obsessed with this and I will never not be.
It like hit me.
This is really...
Your parents were into Dave before you were into Dave?
Yeah, my parents were into Wilco before I was into Wilco.
They got me into Wilco.
They got me into Dave.
They didn't get me into Dave, but they had Dave CDs laying around,
so I guess they did.
They got me into The Beatles.
They got me into Taylor Swift.
Just kidding.
That was my own doing.
But yeah, I mean, they're cooler than I am.
Yeah, my dad's music. He got into Traveling Wilburys. That was my own doing. But yeah, I mean, they're cooler than I am. Yeah.
My dad's music, he got into traveling Wilburys.
That was like, you felt cool listening to them.
Well, it's all right.
Ding-a-ning-a-ding-a-ding.
Yeah, I remember that song.
My dad loved that song too.
I mean, that was, you know, they just stumbled into that.
They loved, my parents always used to sing,
because my mom and dad are,
my dad is a musician and sings,
and when they get a little,
they throw a couple back,
they like to just stay up all night singing together.
And he's really hot.
And my best friend in fourth grade, Kirsten,
through middle school,
used to think my parents were religious
because they were obsessed with,
what if God was one of us that
joe osborne song which is not they liked it because it was like actually like kind of an
atheist anthem but kirsten thought my parents were like if god was uh yeah it's a lot of questions
whatever we're singing a lot on this podcast yeah i can't stop a lot of
uh songs that are against religion just if if you don't listen closely you just assume it's like oh
this is all about religion a song with my dad by the avid brothers avid brothers oh yeah called
true sadness it's honestly my favorite song i actually got the idea from um who's that who's
the um there's a fucking
journalist who did a rolling stone article where yeah no it's a journalist that i've become friends
with since then through twitter and i wanted to brag that i'm friends with him anyway i read a
rolling stone piece with him where they asked him what his favorite song is and i love those like
celebrity like just your favorite song and then i always go listen to the song and this song true
sadness by the avid brothers is the best song it's like this happy song but about like beneath everything
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,
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.
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.
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

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,
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,

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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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,
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,
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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,
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?
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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,
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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?
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?
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.
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.
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,
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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,
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
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
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,
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,
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
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

When I smoke weed, I get lost in the music.
I like to isolate each instrument.
The rhythmic bass, the harmonies on the piano, the sticky melody.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Careful, babe.
There's someone crossing the street.
Sorry, I didn't see him there.
If you feel different, you drive different.
Don't drive high.
It's dangerous and illegal everywhere.
