#264 She Was So... w/ Chris Convy

podcast anywhere you get your podcasts daily. Jesus Christ, you too little just I'm just having to I feel like kindergarten teacher. I'm so happy to be here. I love hanging out with you guys, love having you here. Thank you for coming back again. You already did a four hour radio show today and every day this week. Yeah that is true. Yeah, but like I just like seeing you guys, and I love Noah, Yeah we will. The

fans like you. Um. I've I've noticed not corporate here. Yeah, I don't have you could let loose, you can play basketball on Tide. I don't think I have back if they didn't like you, you know what I mean, like I weren't a little supportive. Yeah, if you weren't good at this, I don't think I would, you know. And if you didn't enjoy it, that's another thing. I love you to enjoy it. I love it, and I just

try to. Like you guys are obviously professional comedians and you're very funny, so I just try to have fun with you. Stay out of your way a little bit. You've got some good lines, so you've had some of the best ones. You're learning you. We went to go see Dan Mints the other night, as we talked about and that was like a joke because sometimes Chris is like, will you teach me how to write like a a great joke, Like there's got to be a formula for it.

And Chris is very He's so good at wanting to like learn and appreciating like the work that goes into something and um. And so we went to see Mints and it was like we learned, Oh, even I learned how a new Like I was even today thinking about the Kimmel monologue. And you gotta write jokes like that, very short jokes, like Dan men says he has a joke for everything. He told two jokes at night. I guess I talked about the jow he goes someone else how many jokes do you tell in a night? And

and I guess eighty one? And he was like, oh, man, do I do this for funny? How many times does he switch it up to? And like, how does he do a new a new hour every time? Too? I was waiting for old jokes that I had heard before, and I only heard like to repeat jokes that that you can google and find. But the rest he's extraordinary of the talent. But I think once you're in this mindset and you're as smart and clever as he is, he's like a machine with him. That's true, you can

kind of, we realize you can kind of. But his technique, you want to know, is taken as saying that everyone says like a pack of day habit or like a turn of phrase that we use a lot um. You might call it an a dodge, a dodge, a maxim, a axiom. These are different words that we learned in idiom. These are all cross word things where it's like an old saying and it's either axiom, a D a G which I don't know how to pronounce that I always

say a dodge. Yeah, I don't know adage, but yeah, you take a common saying and you flip it, you go to left turn, so whatever. Yeah, yeah, you you you take something that everyone knows and then you yeah, you flip it, so you can do it with really anything.

His are just some of we were saying, probably the percentage of ones that are brilliant where you go fu, which is a high back for a brilliant joke where I could never see it coming, and then probably you know, the maybe ten percent or like what it was probably a new joke, and then the rest are like, oh funk, that's good. So it's it was really he's just so great?

Do you do this, Andrew? Because like we you know, like we're enjoying the show like immensely, but at some point your brain switches and you you're trying to predict the joke. I mean, that's the fun of it, is like what what is the punchline? And was I right? And then you don't laugh. You're just like you're calculating.

You kind of look like them, you know, like you're like it's just figuring out an equation at that point, so it kind of loses but if you're I find like people they laugh so hard even if they don't get the joke with jokes like that, Like I remember I saw Dmitri Martin and people are like they would look around to know whether to laugh or not because

they don't get the jokes. Somewhere over people's head, Yeah, that happens to I hate when they laugh at the setup because sometimes the setup is funny where he's like I slept with a hundred girls in college, and people would like laugh, and it's like, that's not they're not got it yet. Let him like you know what I mean,

Like it is funny just to say that. But there were a lot of times that people, I really think thought the joke was the first part, and I'm like, haven't you already heard eighty one of these jokes and know that the first part is not the funny part yet? You know what I love about those shows? He messed He kind of messed one joke up. He just just,

you know, the slightest mess up. But you know, I've seen Nikki do it in like her even like her special taping, she had like a hair like that was out of the way, and I was like, we gotta fix that anytime where the audience like where you break the cadence of the show and then you have a moment with the audience. I loved he had a moment with the audience and then everybody got you know, that's why I remember that joke, laughing so hard the whole time.

But then then they cared about him like a little bit extra and I kind of like those real moments human side. Yeah, it's really important to have that. I started doing one line when I started stand up, I did one liners and I did it with a Wookie while he played slide guitar. He was like his fingers on the guitar was he cut? He go, I go, can you play guitar? And the wookie costume and he goes cut the gloves like he said it like I've been thinking about this forever, and I got this is

a common thing that people talk about. Purple purple, and yeah, it was like my favorite. I was like, I want music. I'm not good enough of music. My buddy Crappoh can play. And he always dressed like a wookie. I was like, what if he were on stage. I didn't address it and I just did one liners. To his guitar, playing some of your I mean you're one letters were fucking great. Let's give us some of your best. My best one, I think is I have a wonderful memory of skipping

rocks and going straight to needles. It's just one of those that it's just like and then you know, but I gotta say a rocks cocaine in that situation, Like once you say needles, are we supposed to think that the original thing you were going to say was because you don't rocks is crack cocaine? Okay, So okay, then that makes sense. Yeah. I always thought like, why is he skipping? Like what was he doing with? Well, now

I guess it. Yes, No, that's great. But eventually the Wookie quit because he fell in love man a Yoka wookie a Wookie Yoki and uh dude, we'd go to open mics and he put this Wookie costume on and it's a hundred degrees in Florida and we're doing it for three people in a fish tank, and he's just like,

I don't think this is really for me. For me, You're never gonna and he's not getting the last here getting all are splitting and were making one liner two Wookie would come up and go whoa, whoa, whoa whoa, and it would cry like it I'd give him a

little bit of the spotlight. So anyways, long story short, like, so I had a character named Andy Shallows, I wore my grandpa's hat, I had a mustache, a real mustache, and I would do all because you didn't want to be yourself right, like you didn't have enough confidence in yourself. You had to move the character. Yeah, I guess so. And it works so well that it's hard to you know. I remember the head of and provably like you could skip hosting and go straight to featuring. For I was like,

who's gonna host with a Wookie? Like that's a weird Like how you guys doing tonight the first time you did? Is? Why did you choose that instead of going up as yourself? Um, I don't. I guess that was because shallow thoughts. It was the opposite of deep thing, candy kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, got that. So I quit. So Wookie quits the band. But then I just go up no music and just try to do these one liners without the like I mean,

even heburg that one special. Yeah, like buddy on the base and I was bombed, like I was bombing so hard and the jokes weren't hitting. And then with one liners, the scary parts, there's so much silence, and this old man after each joke was like, that's all right. That one was okay. I don't know about that one. That one was good. I guess every joke and I'm like and I'm like really new, and I didn't know what to do. And yeah, finally I broke this like I

have a wonderful and I go, look, you motherfucker. If you keep sucking doing it, I'm gonna come down. They're gonna fucking beat your old ass. And then he was like, anyhowse did that kill? They pulled me aside. They go, you'll never work this club again if you threaten our patrons. He was simon cowelling you. But I tried. I guess the whole point of stories. I tried to get back into that character. And if you're not talented, you can't you can't break it, like like Mints broke that rhythm.

He is Dan Mints up like he does talk like that. Even the character Tina Belcher that he plays on Bob's Burgers I was telling Chris because he's never seen Bob's Burgers. He does the same voice. His voice is his voice. He doesn't and he does the voice of a girl. But it's it's that's why it's funny, and the way he talks is funny. It's it really is a It was so for me when I watch Veep, when I watched Dirty Rock, when I go see Dan Mints, when I see a great comic that has just tons of jokes, man,

it makes me better. Like I for the next set I did. I I wrote when I was sitting there next to you. What when during Tim said I wrote like three jokes at least that I did on stage that uh, that worked so well that they're gonna be You could see them in Vegas September two at the Virgin Hotels, Cassine. I don't know where it is, but just look at my um, look at my Instagram. Please

go to that show. It's going to be so fun and it will be the last show I perform with my um, with my voice that you you know now, I mean, you're so good at left turn jokes. Well, one liners were my first thing too. I think that's the best way to start for any comic, like depending

on how you who you admire. When I got into Sarah Silverman and Mitch Edburg, Wendy Liebman, these were the people that I enjoyed because you could go back then there was no YouTube yet, so seeing videos they were sparse, but also they just you could quote them and they would be Dmitri Martin also one of my favorites. And

Zac Alfernaki's Purple Onion. If you guys haven't seen that, which I think we have, like a lot of young listeners that maybe missed that, and you know, Zach is just the guy from the Hangover or like maybe you don't even know him because he's been out in movies for a while. One of the best comics ever, had some of the best jokes. One time I saw him on stage in Montreal Live, I got to open for him. It was one of the biggest moments of my career.

The New Faces, No, they were just you know when you were there for New Faces, which is a meal just went this past summer, You're like at your debut in the industry, it's a huge comedy festival. Uh, their headliners doing shows and they need openers and so they choose from the New Faces. Have you told your New Faces joke from from that year? I don't think so. I should. Yeah, that was one of my best one liners. Um.

But on that zac Alfnakis show. He one of the bits that I saw that I never saw him do again, I think on a taped thing was he stops during the middle of his jokes and he goes, I'm sorry, I'm getting a call, and he pulled out an Altoyd scan and he flips it. This is during Flip Flows is two seven. He flips it open. They just spill all over the stage and it was like hello and just the It's such a funny bit that they would fly everywhere. It was so good. Um, and he was

wearing he was just like Annie for that. I remember, um my joke that I did in Montreal. I remember Robbie Praw who was the head of who he booked. He was He now works at Netflix and is the arbiter of deciding who gets specials and so he's a very powerful person. Was even then gave people New Faces so nice, such a nice guy. It always was like a really good champion of mine and still is. And he told me, hey, this joke that you do that you know you audition with that is going to be

the crux of your set. I think it was my opener. The joke was, do you guys know that there's this website where you can type in your zip code and it or your area code and it gives or your zip code and it gives you a list of every sexual fender in your area. Uh match dot com. It was. It was that, I think I said, Did I say MySpace? I think I said my Space dot com. At the time, that was you know, and um, he goes in Canada, it's Facebook. Now that's what we're using. That's no one

uses like It's it's gonna be into me Facebook. I just couldn't wrap my head around how that would be a social It was so about just college kids at that point. For the in the US, I think pedophile with college kids either yes and for and he was. But what I didn't know is that in Canada it was my Space and I should have trusted him like because it did not it was Facebook yet it Facebook was like my Space in Canada and I just should

have trusted him. And it just set me up to do because that joke usually hit so fucking well in the States that it was. Honestly, if from the first time I told it never once got anything other than huge laughs, And it was the first time there on my biggest show of my life where it just gets nothing, and then it's like panic mode, and like every other joke after that was just like, oh God, what am

I gonna do? But yeah, my first jokes were all especially when it's a joke that hits every time and it doesn't hit ye of your newer comic you could see it on the face of defeat and you always go, oh boy, or that's the same. If I would have said, oh boy, that I would have killed Honestly, if I just called out that it was bad, like you said, well, even if even at the Funny Bone on the other night, you were just like, well that joke needs more work,

and then people people were laughing at that. But you've got to tell the other the story about when you came back from from New Face. Oh god, oh my god, this was so brittle, And this was funny because we're in Chris and I are in Montreal. We're backstage with Pete Holmes, Natasha Jero, Mosha Kash and we have them together that long, so we're in your in your heart, yeah, he was always there in my heart, but actually we're backstage.

It was such a fun hang By the way, I loved it so much because we sit down and Pete Holmes immediately goes, who is this uh whatever? From hard? He said, I don't. I hate to you to repeat your own compliment, but he said, um, what's the word for when it's like comes easy to you naturally or like easily? He goes, who is this effortlessly handsome man? And I was just like, yes, this is my boyfriend, Chris.

And the irony of that was he was like, I think he said, who's this effortless a handsome man in a white T shirt? The irony is I had just steamed the T shirt and Nikki's dressing. It was so funny, and he's like, I just haven't put my makeup on yet, christ and to put on what did you wear on top of you were wearing? So they asked me if I wanted to steam my outfit for this performance, And so the wardrobe person takes mine and Chris is in the room with me and he goes, is this so weird?

Can I ask. She was really nice, and he was like, I just put this on. It was all wrinkled, was crumbled from you know, traveling. I was yeah, And so he goes, would it be? And I go, please ask? You got to do it. So he takes off a shirt. She's steaming it and he puts on my oversized denim jacket and he barely I think you did one button. And then Natasha and Mosha come in the room and I have forgotten that he's dressed, like, oh my god, moment exactly like when you were wearing the things my

first impression. Yeah, and so he's wearing you can pull it off though you have a like you can pull it if anything. Mosha was like, man, I really like that look like motion dresses, like just like wow, one yeah it was. And then there was another moment the other day, Oh you were wearing books? You responded you did you? Did you mention it or did you? I mean, I think I think under the like without knowing me,

because it's not crazy enough. It's it's just crazy enough that he might think I'm the coolest person alive, because without knowing me, you'd be like, man, this guy could be really cool. But then but then I was like, I don't. This isn't what I dressed, Like, yes, this is the first time meeting you. I don't dress with one button on a on a girlfriend's jean jacket. And as soon as I looked at my go, oh my god, he's having a short stage because I didn't. Which things

just keep getting worse. And I love Mosha, like you know, he doesn't know me. I met him once before, and I think, I think there's so fun. We're both on our show not Safe. So Chris has met Pete and they gave him cod They keep apologizing to that too. I'm sure, I'm sorry I gave you COVID doll. I'm really sorry. Um, it's not a great Natasha, but it's a try. Um. And so we're backstage and oh, so this guy comes in, Um, Josh Lieberman. He's an agent, I believe, Yeah, maybe an agent. And I've known him

since two thousand seven. He used to wrap my friend Chris Porter, who I was really good friends with them, and we were always hanging out with Josh and he was his agent. And I see Josh and Josh was in Montreal two thousand seven and also in two thousand and seven. I was, are you getting loan for the story? What is this the proposal happening right now? You're going to pose like that. It's not even on one knee. He's like Tony. He was a catcher for the Cardinals

and he would catch like this. Oh that's cool. Every other catchers like this. Do you remember this guy? Yeah, that's about the one that would throw people out in a second from his knees. Hijacked by sports. He was a bigball player. He played for to Marlin, Spanish catcher. He threw from it. I know, No, I don't know why he threw from his knees. What do you all right? We gotta go to Bradley. We'll be right back with the rest of this story. Where in the world is

that guy Santiago? It was like a big thing, but anyhow, yeah, go ahead. Sorry, so, welcome back to the show. I'm in Montreal. We're backstage. Chris just proposed, by the way, it was wild. Nicky said maybe, yeah, I said, didn't think about it, um, And I give him an answer in four weeks when I can talk again. I really went up three weeks to think about this, and yeah, I just I feel like you deserve a verbal You could write it down on a piece of paper. I

don't know. I don't have any pens A bigger ring. It's like that seems she's writing for a while. Yes, yes, feels long. I just write out the directions to Jared. Uh, why please don't go to jard Would you go? Be a ring? Like? I don't even know what kind of ring i'd want. I think I really Subway Shane Company. Yeah, the Shane Company. You've got to see what the owner of Shane Company looks like. You look like the guy

from Men's Warehouse. But by the way, I think Shane Company is almost it's like cross country because I've been in other markets that I've heard the same company. I didn't know that. At the corner of and Lee May Ferry um So and this guy Josh Lieberman, who was an agent that was was in Montreal with me. He pops his head in the room and I am triggered because I have not seen this guy since two thousand seven when I got back from Montreal. Montreal, for me,

I nearly broke my hand. I was pursuing a guy who didn't like me and confess my attraction to him. He rejected me on the dance floor. It was very awkward. Um, I was drunk the whole time. My set did not go well. I was deeply interorectic because I was so nervous about it that I was like working out too much, trying to control things, and like I got there, I

looked like a skeleton. Things were going well. No one remembered me from the new phases, and I was broken at the time, and I was temping, and it was just terrible. When you opened for GalF Nakis, did you do the joke again and do it with Facebook. No. I probably just dropped it from my step because I still didn't trust. But now as a more experienced comedian, I know it would have worked. I should just trust people. When I go to you know, when I go to Canada,

I now change it. I don't say CVS, I say shoppers. I don't say fourth grade, I say grade four. You know, things like that. I make little adjustments. Um. I don't say fries with gravy on it and chief starts, I say putine. UM. I don't say uh, what's our other things anyway? So UM, I don't say about I say a boot. I don't say Toronto Toronto. I say Toronto. I've learned. So Josh Lee Raman pokes his head in and I'm like, oh my god, this reminds me. I go, Josh, I gotta tell you you're a part of one of

the most i opening moments of my life. I got two seven, I'm there. That's my story of Montreal. I come back and I don't know that i've I've done as portly as I've done. It's just I was drunk to notice. People need to know the lineup that you were. I mean it was. That's why I always tell people that are like, I want to go to new faces. It's every young comic stream and always like, every year you're rejected, you are going to be so much better when you finally go. You want to be the best there.

You want to be the oldest. The comment that is the most years under the belt because no one goes look at this old guy on stage. They just go, wow, he blew everyone out of the water. Everyone else looks like amateurs. So I was on with Kurt Metzkurt, Tommy John again, Amy Schumer Um, Tom Sagura, uh and then many and then this other guy that's like the number one most famous person in the UK. He's like, I forget his name now, but he's he was huge even then,

so I was completely forgettable in the lineup. Tom Papa was our m C. I remember that, and um he wasn't a new face, but he's just you know, help an hour from Ms Fedora and but I see Josh and I go Josh, and I was almost reluctant to tell Josh the story because it was such an fucking not It was almost the example that we talked about yesterday of someone telling a story where they are clearly not a nice person and they don't notice that in

the story. Like it was me kind of being like, you were an asshole because but he didn't me too, And you know, I've changed, he's changed, Probably don't know he's still an agent, probably not. So he pops his head in and I go Josh, and we're about to go do this crowd work show. We're all kind of nervous. I'm like, I gotta tell the story. So we're at

the improv. It's the week after we get back from Montreal, and I'm still kind of like, did I did anyone care about me being there like I didn't bomb, but it wasn't great, and there's a sneaking suspicion to me I might have done well, like I just I would just have bad self esteem. And I was drunk the whole time and I was more worried about this guy

or whatever. So I in this circle. I remember it was Chris Porter, who was like a big deal at the time, and then Josh his his manager, and then some other big people, maybe David Tell, maybe Dmitri Martin. There was one night at the Improv where, like Doug Benson, a big circle of like people. I want to look impressive in front of people. I feel like an idiot even being in the same circle as and Josh. Something about Montreal came up, and Josh goes, guys, you should

have seen Nicky Glazer at Montreal. She was so drunk and I thought I was almost starting to get for clemped at So I was like, Josh, stop, she was so wasted. That wasted is what he said, and I was crestfallen. It was because you thought he was going to say she was so amazing, and the way he started was like, guys, stop everything you need to hear. She blew me away with how fucking wasted she was,

and it was devastating. It was one of those moments as some because I could feel like comics liking that story. I blacked out. That's when I like from embarrassment. I

couldn't even mean that. You see comics being like you got funked up and you're like experienced comics would be like you got sunked up at New Faces, that everyone's wasted at Montreal, and he was talking about like after parties, and so it just was one of the first time I had heard about how ridiculous and like that me when I was because when you're drinking, you don't know how dumb you are and how you come across when you're around everyone thinks they're the reception that they're not

as annoying as literally every other person you've ever seen that's drunk is annoying. You are that way too. You see his hand up Instagram. She just went to a wedding and she had people say like, Hi, love this bit. Hi, this is my first drink of the night, and then Hi, this is my last night and it is wet. I don't care if it's been done a to a ton of times. Keep them coming. They are so funny and they really give a lot of focus to how bad

you look when you're drunk. And that was the first time it had occurred to me that, like, I might not be the best thing to be around when I'm drunk. It might be notable. And then there were several other but that was the one that I go, I'm gonna have to quit doing this at some point, you know, like where you just go, I know, I'm gonna have to let go of this at some point. It was that moment in a relationship where you go, we're not gonna make it, you know, like where it's like it's

not now. I haven't felt that way with you in a couple of months, but, um, you know that moment where you go, I'm point dapted. I'm gonna have to leave this job. I'm gonna have to, like you just know the moment, you know. Taylor Swift wrote a song about it was when Jakoble and Hall didn't show up

to her twenty first birthday. It was called the Moment you know, um And he was probably thirty two something like that, but he, um, yeah, her dad, you know what she references it not only in that song, but then again in the extent version of All two Well, she was like, um, you said, like you went to dad with uh and I blew out my candles and I stared at the door waiting you to come. And my dad said it should be fun. Turn in twenty one and it's like she couldn't have fun at her

own birthday because this guy. And then in the song the Moment I knew she's talking about that birthday scene, which is a very cool callback that an artist will rewrite a song add new lyrics that reference a scene that you know very well from another song in a different perspective of it. That is very would be funny to do, like a version of her songs but actually say be very literal about because she's always like who is it? Who could it be? And it's like John.

And also the song mad Woman where she says the Master of Spin has a couple side flings good wives always no, and it's like she's talking about the whole those song is about Scooter Braun and it's about you see she has a billboard on his way to work.

She would see her face and he was like, and she talks about him, Scooter Braun and his wife, and she could calls out Scooter Braun for cheating and then say and so all of her fans went on Scoot Brown's wife's page and wrote good wives always know like hundreds and thousands probably of comments that was going to happen. And then now they're divorced. Are they really? I didn't know they got divorced? Yeah, wow, and they were like the perfect couple. She was like, that's my only contention

with Taylor Swift is that that line. First, she wrote a bunch of look come back from that. You see three thousand comments that your husband cheated on you, you're not. That's That's my only beef with day And when I become friends with her some day, I'm going to ask her about it. But like, you can't that that that

was a recent lyric. I mean that was off, I feel like evermore and it was like you knew what you were doing there, but that you know, I've done things like that to where you're just so vengeful you need to like hurt someone as much as possible. And she also had a vendetta against that woman because that woman also um really wronged her so it wasn't like she was just going after his wife, like this innocent wife. The wife wasn't on it too. She had an Instagram.

I prefer the mean song Vendetta that that one feels like the right way, a good way of doing it. You're a liar and pathetic and in loan in life then, mean, yeah, that's pretty cruel. All about like a straightforward that one we're talking about like jokes and joke writing and stuff like that. You're going to host Kimmel pretty soon, which I think is like a massive, cool, really awesome deal. Now I know you did it like from like a home. It was like a remote thing during COVID is there?

What is your approach to doing like, you know, the monologue for something like Kimmel And on yesterday's show, what's that that's going to be tonight? This episode is gonna oh yeah tonight tonight on I'm going to be on Kimmel tonight, so this will be Thursday's episode. Okay, cool, Yeah,

so tonight check me on Kimmel. Please watch. Send ABC a message that you like Nicki Glazer, you'd like her in your lineup at some point, Um, I'm freaking out Chris because I said on yesterday's show, I woke up this morning and it's Tuesday, I'm hosting, and then I didn't fresh my teeth thin I'm never going back Jerry Seinfeld, and he pushed me away and then goes, now I'm doing UM and I've probably got my own gin brand. Yeah, they do. I'm going to want to do one. It's

going to be called you were so um news. I UM. I'm feeling weird that I am not worried about it at all, and can I just Sarah why? And I've noticed that you were not at all because if I do, then it gives merit to the fact that it's a huge deal and then it won't start getting in my head. But I really want to treat it like I'm hosting a show every single day and this is I mean, I'm gonna give it all my all, like I would if I did the show. But there's something about the

producers haven't reached out to me. So if they're not freaking out, I'm taking as a side like they think I'm gonna trust them they know better than me if I'm going to be okay, Because there were sometimes I remember during Dancing with the Stars that I'm like, but I have to practice all every day And they were like, we've done this a lot. Trust us. Four hours a days all you need, and like you don't need more than that. That will be a bad thing for And

I just couldn't believe it. But I trust that these people know they would be reaching out to me if they thought I had to. But I'm already thinking of jokes to write, and they I mean, one thing you've expressed to me is these guys are some of the best writers in television. There's the best producers. Jesse Joyce wrote like a bulk of Greg Giraldo's gross jokes and worked with him for a really long time. I mean, oh yeah, he was that dude. He's one of the

best joke writers ever. And um, and I have to say this, I am so I'm so excited about the prospect of maybe ever hosting a late night talk show again because the collaboration involved like I thought, you know, I wrote to them initially and said, hey, I really want to have a monologue that stands alone, it can go viral, And I go, this is really a cool, unique idea that I want to go viral. I was just like kind of already like like rolling my eyes at myself for saying, like, who doesn't want to go

viral with something? But I do feel, like I said, I want hard jokes. I want them to be like as perfect as roast jokes. I want to like really concentrate on them. Nothing not a wasted one. And they were very excited. They were like, we're so excited that we're working with someone who understands importance of like what this monolgue could be. And that was a lot of you Chris being like, let them know, like what you want, like communicate with them, let them know this is a

big deal to you. They will you know this, this would mean something to them that it means something to you because they're among the best in the business, and I think you are as well. So it's like the collaboration between these two groups could lead to something really really.

I also think like leaning into the funny, like I think you know, you hear a lot of stories about Fallon, like he won't do certain jokes because it doesn't fit within this certain persona that he and Kimmel is a little bit uh, I mean, as he's gotten older, he's a little less you know, dark or whatever, like showing I don't I mean, I obviously haven't watched this stuff in a while. Fearless. Yeah, I think you leaning into that as a writer to like you do. We all

most stand up. The darker the joke, the more we laugh. And the fact that you're leaning and I know that when I that's why my roast sets have crushed so hard and gone viral because they're so dark and people it stands out, and especially a girl doing it, like people just don't see it coming. So I do want to do that, but I have to tow the line of like ABC CB, anyone who's watching that's the network

world know that I am. I'm not going to do this kind of thing every So there's this like delicate bounce even what I'm wearing, Like we only we got into a little thing the other night because I got sensitive. I showed him what I was wearing and he was like, I like it, you know, like he gave me an adequate response, and then he was like, do you see you do remember what Ree Larson wore when she Guess hosted. I was like, I know what she wore. It wasn't

exactly in that order. It was pretty No, that actually didn't hurt at all because I was in my life. No I'm saying, but I'm just like real in a real moment though, like yes, like what did wear? She just wore something that was it? Just she looks fantastic, was like perfect for her screenshot of it if we can afford it on the YouTube because it is a great but she is, well what I quickly said, I prefer I really liked what Nikki wore in her first Kimmel thing. It was one of my favorite things she's

ever worn. I was getting text messages from people left and right about it, like people were like, this is amazing, So that's the look. That's that's my favorite look, and then Larson is my second favorite look, and then it's it's she. I was a little worried because I said to Chris, I was like, some people are telling me like I should be sexy, and some people are telling

me I shouldn't. He was like, is it me? And I'm like, I think I know what Chris is saying here, and I know there's a lot of it's so good, but it's a great balance of extremely sexy and no one could get mad because it's like a tuxedo. So it's like it's a balance of like you, but you are not paying attention as much as if the boobs weren't out like that. But that not that I think. The other thing is that you don't get Really Nikki's already chosen this outfit. There's nothing else is going to

happen between now and the time she does it. So even if I didn't love it or did you know, there's nothing I can do about it. There there was, We have time, and that's why I think I was So here's my here's my real deal opinion. And Andrew, I don't know how you feel this way. I personally, I personally have never seen a in this. You know, people might not like this, but I've never seen a woman in a suit and thought this looks awesome to me. I've just never seen it, and so that's that's just

been my opinion for me. I think you look amazing this suit for that like side tits all the way down, it's going to be amazing. I'm sure it is, but but that is just my interesting thing. I've just never seen it. I find it. I don't know, maybe when they're not video or suit studio or whatever where they're all like slick back hair and there's suit suit studio. I think it was Robert Palmer, Yeah, whether yeah, but

I think that's like a dress suit. No. I really do feel a lot of times, well it's a made up thing. That's kind of the whole thing. That why it's so stupid. Well, it wasn't the right video. I think you're talking about Robert Palmer addicted the love. My point is is like if I think a suit can be extremely feminine and the really hot, like with the I think wearing suits, it's them. It's them leaning into

a masculine thing. And I think the problem I don't want to be too masculine on late I don't want to like Chris and I were trying to think that if I did late night, late night show, what would it be like? And it's like the problem why there's no ladies in late night doesn't work. It's like, because women are trying to fit into this masculine role, we need to feminize it a little bit to make us

for a while. Well, here here's my stance on all of this stuff is it doesn't matter, Like you know, you're not doing it for the male gaze and you're not doing for me, Like that's just my preference. My actual opinion is where the thing that you're going to be most comfortable in and feel like the most badass, the most badass. That's that's that is my opinion on

everything that you ever wear. But to me, does bree outfit When I look at it, I see like a sailor suit, Like I see a sailor outfit, but it's still address No, no, I agree, because you see a lot of semen on it. And now that I look at it again, yeah, I'm not a fan. Ah, there you go. Your kid fell out on? So what are we? Everything's it's gonna be great. Whatever you wear is gonna be great, quote unquote fell out. How do you feel about how do you feel about like the pants suit situation?

I just like, I think it does have this connotation of serious, maybe like a little too serious for the moment, I mean business. I realized that, like dressing in that yellow dress for my special every time I see it pop up on my feet, I'm like, oh, who's that? I want to watch this because it's pleasing aesthetically to the eye. Not because I'm like I want to fund myself, but because I'm like, that's a pretty girl that it's

drawing the eye. And that's why I always told Andrew, like, care about lighting when you're shooting a video, like make it, and he goes, I don't care about lighting. I don't care if I look good, and it's like it's but it's not about you. It's about it draws the eye. That's why when you put your phone in grayscale, you're not as drawn to it. Color pops of color like these are things that do attract the eye. So I made damn sure that my tips are out for this. But um, it is a really I think I feel

sexual exactly what you're saying. The second I put it on, I was like, I almost start crying when I was pulling up the pants because they were so tight and they didn't really go on my thighs that well. But once um the jaws of life were flown in, we got them on and then I was like, this bitch is a television host. I feel so good. So that was you know, I got that was my Andy Shallows. It was made it so I'm like I'm able to

encompass this role. That being said, I don't know what then I'm doing, Like I know that we're doing a field peace tomorrow, which we've done a lot of those together. Chris, Oh, yeah, you are going to be so And I made a point I said, I want to do a field piece. They said, by the way, I just like to say, the people sent me ideas for field pieces and they blew us away. I mean, I was like, this is

this is top notch. I'm so impressed. I'm so excited at the idea of working with you guys, or like ever having a show like this where I can hire people this fucking good that could you know be you know, I don't know. I'm just like, God, if stand up comedians hired writers, it would be insane. It's like it's such a lone wolf pursuit. We could be so much better if we collaborated more. And a lot of a

lot of those comics too. And when do you think you were talking about MSG yesterday or yeah, I was talking about the additive they m Yeah, and how you're still hungry? Um, No, you were talking you were thinking about like, oh, if I close my eyes and you'll see myself playing. Do you see yourself as a talk show host, because I see that. Yeah, I honestly see myself walking into work and like saying hi to people.

That's how I picture that life is like the writer's rooms, the like you know, watching all these Conan clips of him backstage with Sonut just being silly with everyone and wearing like jeans pulled up high and likeing someone wet Willie. But here's the thing for my own What are you walking on their backs with heels and spikes? Yeah? What are you most excited about? Because we've got a monologue, we've got field pieces, and then we've got guests. You're

so excited about. Goodnight everyone, Thanks for watching. Like that's when I'll feel like, I that's what I'm most excited about, to be honest with you, But most excited I'm excited about going. So check out the little piece we did, Like, I'm excited to pick to because I know that field piece is going to be fucking great because I remember when I did um a speed dating thing. The last time I hosted, they did a field piece where I

speed dated online and their editors were so good. They whipped together this thing that was so funny, and I just know that I can trust them that they're going to put together whatever I do with these kids. And I've been watching that Recess Therapy I think is the name of the account. We're watching it last night. It's such a great account on Instagram, recess Therapy. You've got

to follow it. Basically a kids say the darnedest thing, but for like Instagram, but edited way better, just so much better than Bill because he's not you know, rap Kid talked about a dragon and they eat people. I want to eat people. I want to eat. I want blood. And who's the other guest I'm sorry for Jamil and Danny? Oh yeah, she's she's no, no, no no, she's um from

the good place. She yeah, and she brought a video that I'm going to get tossed to that we're gonna And when as soon as I heard she was announced, I was like yes because I have a rapport with her. She's funny, she's a good laugher. All I have to do is set them up to be great. That's what

it host. You know, when when I was lucky enough to go to your Falon show and and when he comes in, he's like, so, hey, So what do you want to what do you want to work like that little bit of like you really feel like you made it if you come in as the host and it's just that little conversation. Do I drop by and say hi to you? Belieah, you have to. He doesn't know who I am. Remember when Seth Meyers dropped in on you? Oh my god, we we had broken up that day.

Let's talk about it when we get back from break Okay, because this is this is such an insane story and that I have not gone into it. So when as much as you want, but I think it's so funny. We'll be back right after this. Okay, So stuff that happened before I know, but moment Okay, well that's a good point. Why do I always have to take it to like you need to know the whole story. You're like, jes laughs was creative. They're like, pease, don't go back

to the Josh the agent she was. She was already killing it on last comic standing, and so she flew in like she could barely even fit in her schedule. It was like such an afterthought to her, so of course she did. Yeah, and she was you know then even then she was as gonna make you more nervous? Did she go before year? The first time I met her, we had been my Space first reached out to each other and would talk on the phone all the time. We developed our friendship long distance, and then we met.

So the first time she ever seen you stand up was that set No, we had watched each other on on like clips of each other. Yeah, we were on different shows too, so she didn't even seem but sorry, so go ahead, so Seth Meyers. But Seth Meyers the yeah, we're backstage. And I only preface it with that because we had had a rough morning. We had a rough morning and we were broken up at this point, like

you were just we had already broken up. And then I go, please, I just really want you at Seth Meyers will probably work on this, but even if we stay broken up, I'd still want you there, like just come with me, and and that's that's that's a person that I could never be. I don't think like if I just broke up with someone, I'm like, Okay, we broke up, but you come to a big event in my life that I still very mature, Like I just I don't know if I can don't understand how people

can do that, and these moments are so big. Yeah for Glaze, like you just want her to be in her best So you probably had trouble going at some point, right or were you feeling like no? But one of my favorite things afterwards was when I told people I go I met Rob Reiner, and within one hour I was Me and Nikki were broken up. We broke up in the morning. He went to seth Meyers, then I went to go interview with Rob Reiner. We had a great Those were so much fun. We really connected during that.

We still needed to talk about the breakup and like see if it was going okay. We made up after the Rob Briner thing. We were like, we're going to be good. Then we broke up again in that same conversation after we were like, we're back together. This was ridiculous. This morning we broke up in frustration in the morning, and then we broke up as like adults for like a logistical reason. I was an adult, but I'm just

you were an adult. I was kidding. It was in the morning, yeah, she was an adult in the morning, yes, And at night we were very yeah, we were We both were like this, We've talked it out. We talked for like an hour and a half. An hour of that, we were like, this can work. I was like, oh my god, I'm gonna marry this guy. I was. I remember thinking like whoa for the first time in a really long time, I'm like, this has the potential to be lifelong. Like I could see myself with this person

and the stuff we're talking about forever. And I was like, god, oh my god, I can't believe I'm here when this morning we like, I was like, there's no chance for this. And then within a half hour of feeling that, we we start talking down another road and it leads to complete breakup. And um yeah, it was like an hour and a half after meeting right now, but prior to that, prior to that Seth Meyers. So we we broke it up. In by break up. I showed back up at Seth

Meyers and we're there. Was we were very happy to see each other, yes, and we were kissing, like just being like come here, let's just like enjoy this moment. Like that was ridiculous. This morning, we're still kind of broken up, but like it's funny that we are. So we're like he's leaning over my suitcase. I'm on the other side of it, and we're like kissing, like like meeting in the middle and like having a moment like

I love you, I love you to like kissing. And then Seth Meyers like hey, walks in and just I think he was already it was like standing there witnessing up for a while and it just was like prit private about p d A and stuff like that, which you should be like everything, like even this conversation, Yeah, I'm proud of you, okay, were more embarrassing getting walked in with the denim jacket on or too, because like it just wasn't It's not that like the best. It's

not a cool look. It looks like you're just a boyfriend. That's like I want to like, it wasn't about that for me. It was more about like like it was time for you and him to have a moment, and he walked in on your He didn't have a clean slate, you know what I mean, Like I've ruined his moment with Nikki. From my perspective, it made my moment. It's memorable now. Otherwise it would have been, Oh he was nice,

but it was like so funny. Um, yeah it was, and then he something has to happen at Jimmy Kimmel between you two, that's like something spicy. I'm going to be an Iceland. Yeah, it's gonna be an Iceland. I don't know how you're gonna be hanging out with Lava. Yeah, you're gonna be. I'm going to be. I'm so excited about like this trip is so did you see Hamish is I? Yes. Hamish and Vaughan, within the last two weeks have both gotten stung his friends near the near

the eye by a bee wild biking. My dad got that too while biking and the bee flew down his shirt and my dad was freaking out so much that he flipped his bike and his tooth went through his um chin and he had to f stitches. And that's why we coined when a joke is really funny, We called a lip grabber because my dad, whenever he would smile, he would have to hold his lip because it would split open because of decisions. So he'd go, oh, that's a real lip grabber. It was all because of a bee.

But his friend Hamish Hamish Blake, who you gotta follow on Instagram because he does the funniest stuff. He might be the funniest man Hamish Andy, And yeah he's going on a trip with these guys. And yeah Andy Lee as well. Remember both going and he's not Hamish is now Andy's not going, Hamish is going. But yeah, both of these guys. These are two of the funniest people on the planet. And they've got a show called Hamish and Andy, and I mean it's so charming, so funny.

If people just want a no brainer like Ed Sheer and Hamish and Andy, you will get a really good idea of who these guys are. Yeah, if if you're ever at a thing around a computer and trying to make people laugh, whether it's your mom. I mean, these guys are clean, they're family friendly. It is universally there, the universally maybe the most funny people that have ever lived. And I cannot believe the U S has not like just grabbed onto them and forced them to be here

because they are so fucking good. But um, they Hamish Andy. I would google um Hamish Nandy, Ed Sheer and that one was great Hamish Nandy. Um uh, what's the pickup artist one? Or like the pickup wing Man, Ultimate Wingman, Ultimate Wingman when he was the Bodybuilder. Oh, the Bodybuilding I produced that. Yeah, Chris met them on the show that they did in America. What um, so you get your eyes stung by? Does that affect your site or is he worried? I don't think he get stung Like

in the eyeball. It was just like really close and so that both of their eyes got all puffed up. So we're sending each other pictures back and forth, and Hamish, we got one from Vaughan that was like his eye his eye was shut, swelled shot and he was just got one too. You gotta get one, we gotta we got to get stung. Get getting stung feels like it's going to be like a new thing. Well, Hammis is a huge hilarious video up this morning of like being like guys and he's covering up his eyes like I

went to the doctor. I had some work done. What do you think And it just looks like he just had a bunch of you know, facial surgery and he's like, listen, I know this is probably I don't know it's gonna it still has to like settle in. I might get the other one done. The doctor a little suspicious. It was a b he is and he was like, you go, where is his training? Like um, and he goes and now he's dead. So that's gonna be a little that's a little bit of a red flag. It's just it's

so cute, so funny. Hamish Blake is his name, and you can search on on Instagram and you'll see that he has one point two million followers. So you're not gonna be alone and thinking he's hilarious. Final thought, you're doing an eleven day It's like I think it's we're gonna be together for ten eleven days to be bike bike riding and yeah. It's it's basically like a yeah, and you all do a group in cabins hotels, maybe

like a soccer rock in front of the lava. But they have their bags, all of the all of their bags are on a like a Hummer type car that's going to drive from place to place. It's like a meet you at your destination. It's like a huge adventure van. It's like a follow van, so that it's going to take us to different places and then we're gonna ride for how many miles? Some of them I think are like seventy miles. Yes, some of the rides, and then some of them are more about like going up the mountains.

Some of them are more about like getting cranking out distances and yeah, like going through cool areas to a hot spring. Do you bring your own bike? Usually we do this time we're getting bikes when we get over um They do this every year. It has been delayed two years in a row because of cocoa and um co Conan O'Brien. Here's my recommendation about the things like this. If you have a group of friends, because that's a lot. Always it's so hard to get together, especially as you

get older. It's just people have kids and all these things happen. But there is something about getting a small group of friends. This is five of us, so it's me plus four other guys. It's so important to have like trip adventure trips on the books with friends you

don't get to see very often. You get to text all year long about how excited you are, and then then the next half of the year is about how great it was, and then you put another trip on the books, and then it's the anticipation, you know, if you playing something six months out with your friends. You guys are getting excited about it. Four six months I get. I gotta say though, before trips mean no excited no

matter what it is, even girls trip. Noah, I was like stressed about like oh, the travel and like everyone getting there and like we have to get the right food and make sure, like I get stressed by that stuff. Yeah, but you are. You're on the road constantly, Like Noah, were you stressed about it? Were you thinking? Like always, I always stressed about travel, Like the act of traveling. I do not enjoy it. I don't enjoy packing or preparing for it. But once I'm in the other place,

I lose all of that and I enjoy myself. I know it's worth it, and you just got to remember that. It's always like that. I remember Noah having a sense of relief on the Girl's Chat right before the trip when one person asked like, Hey, are we going to any like nice dinners or anything, And I was like, guys, I don't plant. I don't plan on us leaving like I love this is what I'm bringing. We are not dressing up like no one's and honestly, we can all

share each other's clothes. We're all around the same size. And she was just like, and we did, thank you so much. I needed to hear that. I think depending on how long the trip is, travel is more important. So like let's say you have a ten day trip. Oh no, my flight got delayed. I lost a day still of nine days, like you know what I mean. So like that weekend for you worried about the delays, I'm worried about. Just are you worried about? And I'm worried about you only had a weekend, you only had

two nights. I wasn't worried about the travel at all, like of delays that for some reason, So what was the travel parts then I was worried about. I was honestly more worried about everyone getting there in time, making sure everyone has no no, no, well no, just like people. It's just making sure that just are feeling alone, not feeling like they have a friend. Like it's like things

running smoothly and people having fun. Like worried about eleven girls emotions and making sure that they're having a good time girls that you've brought together. What are you packing for this trip? You need like some so the only way a guy like you don't get trash. We thought about it. Yeah, fan tracks please than was that you, Sery? That's oh my god, that's so bluddy. That's good. I liked it all right, Noah, alright, So let's start off with Kyle. Hi, besties, it is your best to Kayo

calling from Orlando. UM. I miss hearing you guys four times a week. Nicky, I hope you're getting the rest that you need right now. UM, and I'm eager for you all to be back, UM, whenever you're able to. I'm calling today because Nicky, you've helped me really identify a lot of addiction that I have had consistently in my life. Most recently, I've been trying to cut out weed. UM. I smoked pretty much every day for the past like

five years. UM. And I am someone that has a lot of anxiety, and I think we'd really triggers panic in me a lot of the time. And with that, UM, I've I've experienced quite a bit of hair loss. I'm twenty three years old and I feel the same way about my hair that Taylor Swift said she feels about her body and her eating and her documentary when she said that it has the strength to control her whole entire life. That's literally how I feel. I know that I don't need to go into that a lot because

you probably know exactly what I'm talking about. Also, Um, like, whenever I smoke, I literally could feel hair follicles just like getting zapped off of my head. I don't know. So I cut out weed recently. It's been about five days without it. Now. I've had a really unhealthy relationship with it, and I'm kind of struggling right now because I don't know if it's benefiting me or not to not be smoking weed at least once a day. I don't know. I wish I had more time. I love

you so much. I love you, Kyle. Holy shit. Um five days is amazing. And UM, I do want to say that Alan car now has a weed solution. And Alan Carr was the one that I used to quit smoking cigarettes and drinking. And recently I talked to them and I was like, why don't you guys have a weed one and they were like, oh, we do, And so you could look into that. Um, there's also Marijuana Anonymous m A and you could google that and there's like zoom meetings happening all over if you want to

get support for that. There's also the subread it leaves for people who want are leaving marijuana, and there's a lot of support there that has helped me so much and like getting me it's just people that are relapsing all the time and being like I wish I wouldn't have done that that. But listen, man, if you you've heard me talk about this before, the best way to let go of this is to be be very nice

to yourself about it. So if let's say, by the time I've heard this message, you're already smoking again, which I'm guessing you are, because it sounded like you were a little bit like what is this even doing for me? And which is always the kind of thing I think about right before I start doing it again, of like, am I even like my life is still ship and this isn't even working? Um, just allow yourself to have it and know that it's the only thing you have

right now to cope with your feelings. But and you'll if you are accepting of that and being like, I'm not a bad person, I'm just trying to feel good. You're not. If you're not driving, you're not harming other people, and you're just harming yourself, Like there's really nothing to feel bad about. You're just No one wants to feel bad.

No one wants to be an addict. So just be kind to yourself and know that what if you're smoking weed, that you're doing it because you're in pain, right, and if there was a other solution, you would fucking do it. But there's not, clearly, but there are ones out there, you just haven't found them yet. And so be nice to yourself because it's the only way it's going to

go away. Because if you're mean to yourself about it, the only way to soothe the anxiety you feel after being mean to yourself is to smoke more weed, and so it'll just make you do more. And the hair loss thing, like he's sad about. I mean a lot of probably, but the hair loss like like the sadness of the hair loss, and then you turn to weed to try to, you know, escape it. But really it's

just making compound. Yeah, I mean, I don't think weed is making your hair fall out, but it's certainly when you get high, you're super aware of things and things feel different in your sensory stuff. Marvin, he was bald since he was like twenty at the Stunner at his story where he didn't smoke weed a lot, but he was he'd go on fishing trips and Panama and he's like, I was at the l Gotto Negro and it was the name of the bar, and he's like, I was

so high I could feel my hair grow. Yeah. I really do think you're right the anxiety of losing your hair, and that is you're losing your hair because you're you have that gene. You're not losing it necessarily because you're smoking weed. I don't think the two are connected, but what do I know. I'm sure you could have googled it and and it is connected in some way. It's not helping for sure, because in relation in relation of smoke just cuts off blood flow and it's just not

good for you. I would really um forgive yourself for losing your hair because you didn't choose to. If you could push a button and have hair, you would. You're not a bad person because you're losing your hair. You just got a different set of genes than other people that have full heads of hair. And also, like two pays look fucking great right now. They do and also maybe don't have the money for it, but hair transplant is always an option. There's things down the road that

you'll be able to do. And um, you're obsessing over the hair because there's something else going on here. Well, no, I mean the hair thing is very real for real, especially for young men that are losing hair. I'm forty and my stuff is receding and thinning at a level

that I'm not comfortable with. So Kyle, I I have a like a hint of what you're going through, but I mean, I'm sure at a younger age it's much tougher and that it takes a toll on you and that will lead you, know if if you've got a few other things going on, a hair loss situation for a young man will help put you into a bit of a spiral. So it is really, really tough, and I definitely understand to a certain extent where you're going through,

and I'm sorry that you're going through that. I really would avoid any kind of thing that is going to make you feel worse about not having hair, Like sometimes I like to like look up men like this look that I don't have, and I like really like surround myself with that thing I don't have, and I'm like, it validates, like you are worthless because you so don't read stuff about how women are men. I don't know who your affinity is for or maybe no one, maybe

you're sexual, I don't fucking know. But whatever is making you feel like this is gonna hold me back in life. Stop reading and consuming those things because it's not true, like bald baldness, like uh, can you I mean fucking look at bezos, like you can be well, I know, but it can inspire you to do other things and like oh yes, yes, yes, yes. Also my first boyfriend was bald. I didn't give a I just I don't know. I'm kind of bald blind, hype blind. I don't if

you love someone. And remember the day I realized like, oh my god, I love this man was when you were talking about not wanting to take a medication because you heard a side effect was hair loss, and I was like, I almost laughed because I was like, that wouldn't I would never care if you like it just wouldn't register to me. But I understand I'm not invalidating,

you know, I don't think you're invalidating. It is tough because some people will be like, oh, you could just go you know, if this is happening to you, just go stay them and just do this. And you know, a lot of this stuff it isn't an option for a lot of people. And like some people will be like, you know, propriitia does work for a lot of men, but there there's a small percentage where there's a small side effect that is horrible. And then there's monoxidil, which

actually does work. I'm sure, Kyle, I mean if he's I'm using stuff right now, it's right, yeah, And you know there there are little things that you can do to help it that doesn't it's the emotional impact of of like you know, it's you're you're confronting that you're deteriorating body at a very young age. And Kyle, there's just there's other guys that are feeling the way you do, and you know it's I know that doesn't help either.

But a lot of men are going through this, and you know there are people that are working on solutions. But there are minor solutions that work for some men that you can find. Um, you know, some of those are on Reddit and you can on them. There but monoxidil. You know, there's studies it does work, stride or whatever. I put both on my hap. I think I've been doing it every night, and honestly, like it feels thicker here.

You know, my brother is fully bald. It's funny. I was like, damn, you know, I think I'm going bald. You know, He's like, you're forty two. You made it like like that's the other thing to think about, Like like you made it to the other thing. Yeah, I've come to terms with it in some degree. But I just I understand what Kyle is going through and the other thing that he's going through. And this is a tough one. Is is he addicted to weed it? Does he have addiction issues? You know? Or is he or

is he like depressed? And this is just a coping mechanism. I think it's a tough thing to identifying if he does have addiction issues. All of these things, all all addiction issues will get worse and worse and worse until they're addressed. And I do agree with everything that NICKI said. Um, but if you do think you have addiction shoes, it's you know, there are obviously programs out there that can

help you, and it will continue to get worse. I really, you know, the last time I stopped smoking weed, it fell away, Kyle, because I read the first third of the book Coming Alive. I'm not kidding you. There is a tool in there about um impulsive behavior, things you want to do impulsively and how to deal whether it's

like acting out sexually, acting out with drinking. Like, there's this one tool that they talked about in the very beginning of it, I mean the first third, and I have not I've had one desire to smoke weed since then, and I use that tool again to go Okay, focus on the desire. Okay, imagine just feel inside yourself like that they kind of run through these steps that I run through and then it goes away. So I that

is also something. But I really do recommend, if you're ever available able to get into a twelve step program for anything that you have. And this is to anyone listening, whether it's like you have an alcoholic in your life and you could go to alan On. You mean literally everyone qualifies for allan On because everyone is front with at least an alcoholic or works next to one or something.

Those support groups are incredible and it's free, and you will find people there that you know, it's not all talking about the addiction. Is talking about how it teaches you how to love yourself, because that is what the core problem with addiction is, is that you feel not enough. You feel this dis ease with your own self. You're not enough. You've got to consume something to get out of the feelings. And it's just really helped a lot of people that I'm very close to that might even

be me. Yeah, I mean that, But one of the people I'm most close to in my life is somebody who's been sober for fourteen years and he went from being you know, just like, you know, a normal slightly you know, a bit not friendly sometimes to now be the happiest person I know. And he has worked the steps and he has embraced the program and he's the happiest person that I Yeah, if there's something to it, Okay,

let's can we do one more? No? Yes? Please? And Nikki, I need you to promise that you will not dream when you hear this. Oh my god, Taylor Swift, go on promise me, Okay, not gonna scream scream. Let's pretend I'm in silent mode. All right, we got Rebecca Hina Druki o G pod listener Rebecca from Philly here as

a part of the exclusive Bestie and Swifty Gang. I feel like it's my duty to let Nikki know that the SoundBite from Welcome Home Nicki Glaser where she talks about how Taylor Swift is her best friend but doesn't know her is now on TikTok. It has been used in several videos, and those videos have actually been liked

by Taylor Swift herself. There have been no other developments and potential friendship goals, but just now I'll be looking out in my own personal mission called Besties anal eyes Swift Ease and so yeah, thank you guys, love you love the pod, Love Brenna kisses and Janitor Bye, Janitor Nice? Can you react how Nikki should have reacted? Andrew? And then know what you do? One? What know? What can you do with what I can even do? The high pitch? But you do have a impression of what I would

say right now? Like your best guess at what at what you would do? Well? I like the on you one where you're just like, well that's out of frustration. What if I did my little John impression, I don't have. I think that's what I kind of did. Okay. My response to this is Okay. Taylor Swift obviously knows I exist, all right, so she's commented on my Instagram before my

apology to her. She has also there have been fans of mine that have met her backstage and she They've been like, oh, Nikki Glazer loves you do know her? And she goes, is that the girl that said I'm a bad dancer? So I want to go on record and say that I did say Taylor Swift was a bad dancer once because I justified being on Dancing with the Stars because I was like, Taylor Swift is not a good dancer, and she does it she looks cool,

so maybe I could, And it was not right. It was not how I actually feel about Taylor Swift dancing. I actually think she's way better of me. She get that bitch can do the splits on a car like she. I've tried to learn the dances she learns they are very difficult. She's a good dancer, so she's aware of me. I've met her. Um, but this is really good news, and I am fucking like my insides are like things

are happening inside my body right now. Because Taylor Swift does not often like things, and that's how she operates. She's very shifty in a great way. She's swifty, swift fifty, and she likes things to just to just remind us the swifties, Like, I'm very aware of something I cannot believe no one else has told me this. Thank you so much for being on the lookout. Please DM me personally any updates and right Taylor Swift update. If you see any more likes, please send me videos where this

is being used. Because I am not on TikTok. I do not see this clip being used. I do know that it was a great sound bite, and I'm glad the swifty community has embraced it. But um, Taylor Swift is my best friend and she doesn't know it or something like that. It was something like that, but it really is like I feel that way. The other day, Phoebe Bridgers, it was her birthday, and I was like, I have to wish her happy birthday because I spend more time with Phoebe Bridgers than I do with any

of my friends. Really, like she's talking to me and singing to me constantly. Um, and it felt like it feels like we're friends. And that's why whenever someone says I feel like you're my friend, or someone goes you're my tailor swift, I'm always like I get it, girl or guy. Yeah, I try to reach out to Whitney Houston constantly. Yeah, through the weji board anything. I watched The Bodyguard. I just want to close by showing you

my first head shot. Um. Actually I want to close by showing you a book of my first head shots and just like there's a whole book. Yeah, I wrote a book about it. Oh my god, I've seen these. These are so I love your face and these Oh my god, it's like your own yearbook. It is so insane, but I do this this picture. Uh, this was the girl that went to Montreal and drank too much. This was right? Yeah it is. Yeah, I love this fresh face girl. I'm a huge fifteen years ago. Is this

even reminiscent on my face? Now? Like? What's going on? How have I? Yeah? There's definitely. I mean I feel like she's just like a little are your face and you're like there's like a cherubic quality to them. I'm still doing my makeup the exact same way, and my hair was very full. That red is a good color on me. That's a nice reminder. My eyebrows look a little spermy, but that's okay. My bottom lip or my

top lip is non existent, which it usually is. Yeah, I mean I feel like I don't look so different, but she is. She's got a lot more fat on her face. What a baby face is? Yeah, she's she's a cutie. She's got a lot to learn. Girl, you're gonna go what would you say to that girl? Right, I'd say bitch read Alan Carr sooner than later. And then I have this picture of me and Chris at a wedding. Um, now what would you say to this? Say to this girl the show is over and wet?

It's like, how many librarian roles are coming up that I have to do this sexy like, I mean, this might be the most relatable looking person I've ever Really, why didn't I book anything from it.
