#280 Nightmares That Make Sense

around around minute, you might get what You're like. I like that thing you do that most shows do, literally every other show on TV and every podcast does except ours. For shadowing is not like, um, I'm exactly telling you what's gonna happen. It's usually later we will hear from someone. But is there like a dark Oh oh maybe why don't you give it a little LUXIOXI Yeah, we need to know if is it? Maybe it's um blended with

like some predicting something with asparacus ham drip. I guess I don't know what it's a warning or indication of the future event indication Yeah, okay, so it doesn't mean it's ominous. Couldn't hear some new words that I've I've learned from both reading a book and from Sam Harris. Let's hear it. Um, I would love to obstep obstreperous, obstreperous. Oh b s t r e p e r o U s obstep obstreperous. That's something to do with your Uh, you can't speak, You speak too much, like like something

that gets in your way. No, it's noisy and difficult to control. How did you know that? Well? I was thinking strep throat and then bob is that's where I got. Well, that's actually like how you get thetamology. I think, yeah, your mom chilled soybeans. Um, fusty f u s t y fusty that's first word. Yes, she was an original member of the Black Eyed Peas. Fusty that's a fish song. I think, Uh, fusty fusty is like a messy about little Fusty. He's pretty cool. He's coming up. Kny just

signed him. He's cool. Um, what did you say it was like MESSI uh, well, it's smelling stale, damp or stuffy, fusty, odor of decay. That doesn't mean it means smelling. It doesn't mean messy for sure. We're not on part with that one. I'll give you the other one that was very impressive. Okay, press precipitously. I don't even I can't even say that. I'm not you think I'm gonna learn it? Can we try it? Precipitously, precipitation, precipitously, precipitously. Yeah, so

precipitously means uh, um, it's precipitous. The reward comes before dangerously high or steep. Man, I got precipitous at that Fish show. Dangerous, dangerously high or steep. Precipitously I love. That was the Sam Harris one, and then my favorite one. I've been listening to Sam Harris podcast to low me itself to sleep, probably for a week now, and I can't get past I've only done half of it, and this word always wakes me up and I try to

go remember it and I never have the Um. I'm not awake enough to write it down on my phone, but last night I was and I got it. Alacrity. Alacrity means you're lacking um. You can't just hear a little word inside it. Why I worked for the first one, I guess it did. Alacrity alacrity. Can I have an in sentence Um, she accepted the invitation with alacrity. She didn't really give a shit about it. She doesn't want to do accepted the invitation with like hesitation You mean

like like apathetic. Um no, it means brisk and cheerful ready of course. Yeah, so if you're spelling, these words would be a home alacrity. Was hard? I put in my phone as e L and it's a l at alacrity. So that's just a little How far did did you do to spelling me? When you do? You remember when you're everyone I think probably remembers the word they get eliminated on if you're a competitive Mine was word I

didn't get right. I spelled it with two rs. You're probably a good speller, right, No, get out of here. You're not even know who I am. Like, do you get nervous writing things like in front of Brenna? I get nervous sometimes reading things not knowing words. Yeah, sometimes I'll look like so in Jewish. But you don't you get nervous reading things? Yeah? But I read a lot. But if I don't know a word, but read, okay? Got you so like if um, you know a lot

of times with like Jewish religion. Each person has to go around the room and read like a passage. Most of us do that in just normal school. Definitely a religious part of it. It's just like the tradition. I don't think that's a tradition you passed out in the Jewish culture. Maybe it is, yes, but didn't you just do that in regular school where a chapter? Yeah, and

non school. I just want to make sure everyone can relate to this, but I feel like it's I'm like, you only did that out of the Okay, okay, in regular non Jews. Yeah, in history class, some people did history. I would read what I had to read before it

got to me because I'm so nervous. Everyone did that again, This is a this is I guarantee you can make a meme about that of like, you know, when it's when I know I have to read, you count the number of people where it's going to be, and you go paragraph paragraph and you count which paragraph And it's the worst if you're a teacher out there and you do this, make it random so the kids can't count ahead because you will not be present otherwise, or just

don't do it because I you're never present. You're always reading what's next? And I sorry. As a fast reader and a fast person, I could not stand it. Made me hate the slow kids. And by the way, reading comprehension or being able to read, it's you could be the most intelligent person and just have a reading a learning disorder that makes it so you can't read. So it's but my dumb six year old or sixth grade brain would be like, this kid's dumb, and then you're

then I think that kid's dumb the rest of my life. There, sir, I can remember who was a slow reader that God can Ray Pool please read every passage? He was like the smoothest reader. He read so fast it was like delicious. I was like, oh, please calling Ray And then they would always call him, you know, Jeff, I don't want to say names are on the tip of my tongue, you know, like I remember who and I was just

somewhere in between. But I would really it would almost actually be fun to see what words they would come up with. My favorite ever was Tyler schoon Over. He was not a bad reader, but he just got ahead of himself, much like I did on Wheel of Fortune when I said, where is the metaverse? And how do we get there instead of I I realized that story. You thought you would go in real fortune and you would read each word when you guess the clue, whereas I see it as like okay, I know it and

I'm just gonna say it, which is a mistake. But you would go where is the metaverse? And that? But most people don't. They just kind of go, oh, it's a common phrase, and then they just got you know what I'm saying. I could see how I could get common phrase. But I realized you thought I was like just reading I as we like a like who would ever do that? But you know, I is just like saying what I thought it was. No, that's when I thought that. I thought that you just made it. I

don't want you to think I'm a monique. I think you're dumb in anyway. I think you can be dumb. You read, but there is an argument that you read too fast. Yes, well it's got This is a problem for me. It's like the wheel for Tunana who wants to be a millionaire. I just I'm too fast and then I make mistakes. It happens all the time. Have you seen the video of the guy that went on like a Shark Tank kind of show or like X Factor, and he said, I'm the fastest. Oh yeah, so funny.

It was like a Ugandan America's got talent. And the guy takes the book and just goes. He goes like, don't we have talks? What's in that? And the guy goes, what are you doing? And he goes, I just read the book really fast. And the guy is so serious. I guess you had to be there. Um it's so the guy like assaults him. He's like, get off my show acting like this. He's really mad. I mean, it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. It was good.

But what sorry, Yeah, so it's slow kids speeding speed reor spelling. What did you get knocked out on spelling pigeon pigeon? I mean I'm guessing I did p I G O n or but that e O nion adding But so you are a bad speller. I'm not great. I mean I never made it to the finals and the spelling being school, I never seem like someone who would be a good speller to me for some reasons. But yeah, I think that's just really there's certain things in schools where I go man they should. What do

I know about educating kids. But there's some things that make kids so insecure that it takes them out of the moment and they cannot they I would be so nervous so many times in school that I wouldn't absorb any information because I was scared about my part that was coming up. And like, you shouldn't make every kid performed. Not every kid wants to be performing, although you know it is something they're gonna have to use in their life. Like I know people that can't call to order a

pizza or something. You know, like kids to have so much people that you know, people that have anxiety and those anxieties. I used to be that way. I used to have that much stage fright, and so it's like that you can overcome that. So maybe we should force kids to do it. I don't know. I mean it's crazy that we both do a profession where we can speak. I memorize for an hour or whatever, and then if I had to do a play in fifth grade, I did exactly what you said. I would only be thinking

about what my line will be. If I'm going to remember the line, I'm gonna look like an idiot for not remembering the line everybody, I didn't know anything else that was going on, nothing, And I'm still do that first scenes. That's bad acting, yeah, because acting is like you're supposed to actively listen and and and you can tell bad actors when they're just not you don't see them making a listening face. Like I think that's a part of acting where it's like you have to actually

be in the scene. And I find myself doing that all the time, where I'm just like I was in a movie on Friday Night called Cursed Friends on Comedy Central, and it was the first movie I've done where Amy didn't put me in it, and it wasn't like just a hand out kind of thing, even though she was very adamant at the time about like I'm not giving this to you because you're my friend. I'm doing it

because you're good. But you know, and I appreciate her saying that, But this was the first time I booked something, and I probably booked it because a little bit because I'm a name. It was a small role. It was like a day's worth less than Yeah, I don't know, Like I auditioned for the lead and I didn't get that, but I got that, they were like, well, we'll give you this. So it was nice. But I didn't audition

for this role, but it was still nice. Um and I watched it on Friday night, and I was a little bit nervous because I just, you know, I wanted to be an actress when I was in middle school in high school, and then that didn't. I just never got the right I never got the roles I wanted. And then I auditioned for theater school and college and I didn't get in. And um, and I don't really try that hard when I act like, I don't go there.

There have been times for auditions I go to acting coaches and I'll work on it for like an hour maybe, but I don't really give it much more effort than that. Even when I get the role, I kind of memorized it on the way there. I'm sorry to the men who made that. Yeah, I'm just too nervous about it being bad, so I just put it off. And it's I don't think it's as much as I go. Oh, if I don't work on it a lot, I'll have

an excuse for why it was bad. It's just I'm just too scared of working on it because I just want to delay knowing I'm bad. I think that's more of it. I think so many people say people procrastinate because they're like, I'll have an excuse for why it's bad because I waited too long. But mine is I just don't want to find out if I'm bad until later. It's like cleaning your room. Do you know when you wait to clean your room? Are you waiting so that

if you don't clean your room? Well, you can say, well, I only had twenty minutes. No, you're delaying it because it sucks to realize that you are a mess. Yeah, okay, you're saying. So it's like I delayed working on that role because I just didn't want to deal. I mean maybe it's a little bit of both, but I really do feel it's like it's uncomfortable being. Like I said back, change how you view that in your brain? You think

to go, you know what, I am a decent actress. Well, I saw it on Friday and I was like, oh, I made choices. I don't feel like I look like myself in the role. I feel like that was just like I did a good job. I was like, oh, okay, I could be an actress, like it was the first time I saw myself and I was like, you know, and I feel pretty and in train Wreck I did it. I wasn't convinced of myself. I was like, you kind of seem out of place with all of these great actors.

It just doesn't. It didn't. It looked like me doing a middle school role. So if you tell yourself that you whether Amy said it or not, you tell yourself, I'm only getting this because of X, Y and Z, then the confidence isn't going to be as strong. I just like, I was so nervous on those sets that felt like I didn't belong there, but how many people

were in the room, Like it was crazy. Doing train Wreck was so cool and both of them, Um, I feel pretty shot in Atlanta, And and I had a scene with like the hottest guy that I've ever seen in my life in front of me, Like you know, you talked to him before you start. He's the he's the brother there of the boss woman who's played by Michelle Williams. And he's like he's in Game of Thrones too. Yeah, he was really nice and I was just like like I couldn't what's his name? I don't even know. He's

just that he's so cute and he was British. I don't remember, but he, Um, I play like a model going in for like a meeting. Yes, Tom Hoppa, yes, yes on this yeah, yeah, he's a good he's very nice and but train Wreck because that was a Jettapatil film.

He was directing it. That was wild because we were in this living room and he had like a little speaker in the corner and he would direct from like the van outside, and so he would like have us and you he would you could hear his direction coming from this little speaker and we would just run the scene a million times until we just started like completely improvising, always be improving. Did that feel Did that feel more natural? Yeah?

Then it gets more comfortable because then by the end of it you're just like, oh, but I've heard that a lot of acting is like or I guess I heard it once from an actor I respect and forget who it was, but they said acting is annoying, because maybe it was Spade saying that. Um, it's sometimes it's frustrating because when you're on set and you're doing a scene, the last take is the one that you're like, I'm finally comfortable, and it's like, we gotta move on, and

you're like, why can't we start from there. There's some directors that give you like two They're like, no, we got I got exactly what I wanted. It's like, well that that I kind of like because I go, oh, good, well, I trust that they wouldn't have. I will say Dahmer is so well acted, but there's one person in it that is one of the worst actors I've ever seen. And I do not want to call this person out

because that would feel horrible if it were me. But oh my god, if anyone wants to slide into my d M s and make a guess about who it is, I would love if it's someone who was a guest, like only a couple episodes, I'll tell you that. So I just would love to know if anyone else was incensed at the TV and like how bad this acting was because it was so funny. I wish I was a kind of person that would call people out. I felt so bad the other day about calling out the

band that opened for the Tody's Reverend Horton. I felt I was like plagued by um sadness that I that I put that out there in the world that like I didn't like an artist. But I will say that not everything is for me. And they probably wouldn't like my stand up and they wouldn't like Taylor Swift and so they and they had a ton of fans, and I know they have a ton of fans, and it's just not for me. Just like most of the music that Noah Fox to, would it be the gentle, soothing

sexual tones that Noah hardcore fox too. I mean that's the kind of music. Music, is the kind that like, you know, music Jeffrey Dahmer plays when he ever would say that was too much, like you're ruining the mood here as he's like as another guy in silence, like I love Noah, like setting the scene, like lighting a candle, making the ambiance perfect, lighting down the I mean that that impression is not even good at Like it's so crazy.

I couldn't believe how crazy it was. And I think that that was her, you know, the relax was for play, Yeah, yeah, it was her. That was her spa music. When you go to a spa and you hear like yeah gentle, like you know, and yeah, are you just like so uncomfortable with anything that's like soothing when you listen to music like your bar must be so high for like Spa and you kind of music I don't like, but I do like Brazilian music like Sambas and Bossa Nova's

and stuff. Okay, getting a massage, you might like some Spa music maybe, or would you rather be listening to Megadeath? I mean, I would probably rather listen to Megadeath, but you know they're out. I love Noah getting a root canal to just fucking to do like a study on people that like that kind of like what I've never I've never rings. It's so interesting how different humans can be. Because there's nothing about it that I couldn't I couldn't

find anything to like about it. The only thing I would like about it would say, lifting weights, and it's like motivating to just fucking become an animal. But even then it's almost too much like I don't like. I don't know. I get why people love it, because the rage they feel it, they could feel the actual energy. It's not just like a singer singing like it's every emotion coming out. And I get that. I get screaming.

It's sounds like they're all moving like trash cans in a you know, concrete hallway, Like it just sounds like scraping and like these you know, like nails on a chalkboard sounds. Why does it? Noah? Give us? Can you give us a playlist? Well, you make a playlist of I think I can do it, let's try it. I don't think I can do it. I don't think it's gonna work for me. I don't think i'll start it off. I'm light and I'll and I'll work it up. So you want to do a Seriously, ken Burns got me

into jazz. Maybe ken Burns medal might get me into it. Slowly panning ken burn in baseball, and he just did the Holocaust to all your favorite things as a Jewish man, have you seen the Holocaust? Ken Burns just now, I've just heard stories. Oh my god. I went over to my parents and they were watching it and I just it was like so upsetting. I was like, can we put on a mass sing or something to cut them? It was just too but it was it was I mean, it's great and it's good, like is that something? But

as a Jew, do you feel like you should watch it. Yeah, I guess. I mean, I I think I probably read more about the Holocaust than you. I'm fascinated by it because again, it's that more through great Do you ever read about it? Or like, yeah, know the years thirty nine, we have to get a break, you know the years? Okay, alacrony, We'll be right back after the dark. Oh my god, you know the years? Yeah, I know, I know a lot about Hitler. We're back, So we're back. Andrew knows

the years of the Holocaust. Hitler was born on four twenty. He was a painter, a failed painter, had a little funny mustard. Did you ever go to any of the Yeah, I went to all the parties. Is that what you're saying. Yeah, I went to dcal I did you know? Did and uh yeah? There was like a teen tour. They're I'll laughing, all these German kids and I was like German kids. Yeah, And I was like hungover, and I was like these fucking we'll starting another World War three right now. But

they would take me. There was like forty of them, but it was about going to eleven Memorial. I lived in New York for you know, here's a different years off and on. It's like, how did I not go to that sod downtown? It's pretty during no comedy clubs. But have you been to um Um a concentration camp? Now have you gone toward? Well? No, but would you go or is that something that's just like it's too much?

I would like to go? Yeah. Yeah, it's heavy because because the buildings are the buildings that like nine eleven, it's a brand new building. It's hard to like connect to it. But if the fire building was still there, like you walk museum and they have all like you know, there's I've heard it maybe Auschwitz they have like the pile of shoes. There's like those are the things. Yeah, yeah, you could feel it's eerie. Yeah, yeah, it's sucking. It was pretty intense. I mean I was also hungover or

maybe huh? And did you go alone? I want my older brother and this other guy named Jose who hooked up with the there's a thing. We went to a hawkbor house, which it's in uh, it's in um. It's like soho house. No, it's like this place where these women bring out beers and they'll hold six gigantic beers and their big cleavage is right there. And my buddy hooked up with one of the girls and he said his dick never felt smaller. Good. She's as such a grip of ale. This is the same guy. It's a

really funny. We went to Prague and then you know, there's no water in the toilets. Yeah, uh, this is yes, this is post heath. There's no uh, there's no water in toilets. Yeah. And so we ended up meeting these three girls on the euro rail from Miami of Ohio, and he liked one of the girls, so he should and he took it out because he didn't want it to smell, but he left it on the windows toilets. How does poop go down? I don't know. I just and he left it on the window sill. But he

left on the window sill. And he comes out, he's like, oh my god. She went in the shower and I left my ship in the window sill and the door was locked so he couldn't get back in. Thing. It was just a hook up in a different Country's point her story must be, I don't know what if she ever told anyone, well, she never came up and he

hooked up with her later. Something sad when people have great stories that involve poop or like something embarrassing and they just never tell anyone, Like if you have a story that is just horrifying that involves you pooping or finding a bag of poop or hooking up with a guy who pooped your bed or like get like, tell the world it's not when there's no judgment. Don't hold that in. I'm so jealous of people with good stories. Oh yeah, he essentially, yeah, which is with my old technique.

I mean I would still do it to this day. Which did you wrap your hand in toilet paper and you reach it, you get you make little mittens called shittens, and you reach and you grab it out if it's not flushing, and you have a big line ahead of you, because otherwise the person in line after you is going to see that you took a ship, especially if you want to. You got to get it out of there. Yeah, I mean mean man, so anyhow but yeah, no, so yeah,

so the hall for our house. So we went to that place and had like, you know, six of those big beers, and that was the night before. How is your drinking going now? Are you still like loving it? I've never was really I mean, I'm not trying to defend it, but I was never really loving it. It was just like something I was finally like, I don't know, you want to hold on, but what is it fun? Really? I haven't drank. I've had like two drinks and like

probably for a month. Yeah, I'm kind of like all right, because it was like starting to feel like hangover and just like not good. Yeah, I just it just didn't it. There's no point in it. There's really no point in I'll have like one tequila on the rocks, just one, and it'll just make me feel a little loose and that's it. There's no urge in me to wake up hungover, to be out till two in the morning. It's not for the party. It's just like it's kind of nice,

just a refreshing. I don't know. I wonder what it was before that you tackled that, because I mean you just wanted to never stop. Like well, at least that was for me. You just have one. You just that's not enough. You just want more. Yeah, I mean, I was just I just I mean, there's just self hatred is one being anxious around people, trying to be the life at a party. I didn't have stand up to fucking have people love me, so I needed the party to love me. So I had to be as funny

as possible. I didn't think I could get the girl, so I might as well just get the crowd to laugh at me or get drunk and be like, Oh, that's why I didn't, because I was busy doing that. Get ahead of the mess, Get ahead of the mess. Let's get to the news. It's Thursday, folks. You know what that means. It is Thursday. We're having a banger over here. All the swells back, do you know? You guys know Shirley Manson, right, she's I think so, I mean,

lead singer of what garbage? Garbage for some reason, I would a whole is the one that what's her name is in? They're kind of around the same one, same genre. Yeah, yeah, anyway, but she has like I remember, she had like red hair and very pale skin. Yeah, she's saying that song stupid girl, which I don't know anyone to girl. Yeah, because he doesn't have that name. That's a fakeness. You got to watch his documentary. He's the worst. I hate

that guy. Hate Marilyn Manson. Hey, if you don't watch, if you still have any part of your body that likes Marilyn Manson, please watch that documentary. You do not know what went on. He is a horrible person and should be locked up. I think bad, bad, bad guy. All right, let's hear what Shirley Manson. Okay, Well, Shirley Manson said in an interview that when she was eighteen, she took a crap on a cheating boyfriend's breakfast cereal and she's not ashamed of it. Okay, Well, I like

that she has this story and isn't scared to share it. Um, I'm wondering in the box, like had he just poured himself a bowl? Like who leaves a bowl a bandit? Did she poured on the ground and then then shoot on top of it like the cocoa pots where it could hide? Or was the frosted flakes where you would see it? Man, I don't know that I would be scared it wouldn't. It would be like if I knew if I trusted myself to have like beautiful, dainty little

girl ships, then yeah, fine. If I'm having like a good poop day, maybe, But I don't want anyone seeing my poop, especially a guy who cheated on me. He'll be like, oh good, that was the right move. I mean, there's something about it being so self deprecating in a way where it's like self defecating. Yeah, it's self defecating where you almost respect. Like it's not like an amber heard they said that she did that. I mean, maybe it's a thing that I'd eat on a girl's laundry

because they were in a fight. It's such a great it's it's like a dog. I think that. Manson said, like, I'm glad I did it. I'd do it again, right, something like that she doing it. She even said that she inspired her friend um, who was doing it until he while I was doing it, I thought of you, and she says, I recommended as an act of revenge. It leaves you feeling empowered and gleeful. Wow, I would just be so. I mean, I don't run in the

same circles as Shirley Manson. So I bet like whoever she was dating would think that was kind of bad, as in, any girl that dated her boyfriend in that scene, it would probably be like, God, your girlfriends so fucking cool. She took a ship on your cereal. But if I did that to Chris, it would be I mean, they would they yeah, it would be like a good thing you cheated on her. That person is a psycho, as as it should be. I mean, that is so gross

because sh it is so infectious. Some people are into it. Some guy might actually eat that. If you were in this poop, you should go get your unless. I mean, remember that one comic we worked with who was like, I love eating asks, but you get sick a lot. It was with Tom Decar. We were we worked in DC, and there was a guy I won't say his name, but he would like, I love eating asks. I just

love it. Like he liked to do it casually, and he was like, but you do get sick a lot, Like I just I get the stomach flu like once a month. It was just like, holy fuck, um, I mean I am so I don't want anyone seeing my poop. I don't want to like accept my girlfriends. I do not care. Like yesterday, I was in such a bad mood and then I went to the bathroom to pee and then I had like the greatest of my life and I was like, oh, that was it. Like it was.

I just I gave birth like it was. But I want and so I woulded to send a picture of it to my girlfriends, But you can't. I can't. I just can't because if it if it got out in any way. I had a joke about this in my special but it would be more embarrassing than a picture of like my hairy like but or like if I had a yeast infections, how would they know it's your poop? I don't know even if even if I would deny it, of course, I mean in my joke, I say, I'm I'm taking a selfie with it, and like why did

I have to do that? But instaid, So I did what I did. I needed my friends to see, like how impressive it was. So I drew it. I took of here and I held it next to it and I traced like the approximate size, and then I sent a picture with my hand next to it on the piece of bay Burnish show the size to just be like I guess what I did, and then on you goes. I actually have a lot of these from WINNICKI and I lived together, because that's when I started doing that

of drawing it because I couldn't take a picture. But I was so proud of myself. And and when you're a tiny like I'm not like a tiny girl, but when you're a girl and you're like capable of that, you're just sort of like, what is going like when you draw it? Do you like look at it like you like kind of I'm picturing Titanic where it's like, paint me like one of your friends. Are you looking at this ship for a while? No? No, no, second. I just put it so. I put it envelope so

it had some weight to it. So I put it next to the like half on the bowl and like right next to the exact side I wanted. I knew you did. I didn't shade it so you can see like the depth or anything. I didn't, but look at it. Oh that's a pretzel. I'm gonna draw a pretzel. I see you as it being a perfectionist and being gone yes to scale because the point of the picture was to show the how impressive it was, and so in order to do that, I needed to get it exactly right.

Otherwise I would have just like the poops that I get sent sometimes. Do you guys set each other poop. Yeah, we've done it because it's funny. It's funny like sometimes there's like three identical ones and they're all lined up like like that's pretty impressive. Let so many poops go down the drain that have looked like things that I'm just like, man, I want to take a picture of

this so bad because I see faces and things. I'm one of these people that can see faces and things like clouds are like like someone's back that has sweat on it. I'll see like different and there's just certain I don't know. I'm just I have that too. I don't know what. I don't know. I don't know. I had a thing I remember, like in a shower, like

on the wall. Yes, I like look closely and I can see the dentist's office all the the dappled like kind of um, the work on the what's it called the drywall on the top those tiles, there's all those like little marks. And I always find little faces. Oh yeah, in my shower there's always a face in the sidewalk. I see faces all the time. I tried to bring someone in. I remember I was in college freshman year and I go, look at this, do you see this face of like a duck having sexed with a parody.

I sent you that. The guy looked at me, goes, what he looked at me? Like I was in I sent him to Chris all the time, and he goes, I don't know what this is, and I'm like, it's e t I thought it was. Did you tell me? Ay? Oh, man, I should not, but look at this picture I took it. I mean it's kind of like, what's that the roa test or whatever. Yeah, that's a good point. It is like that. But it's like I saw this and he he didn't even respond to it, and I was like,

how could you not respond to this? Heems like I just was so confused. I didn't know what it was. And I'm like, it's so clearly et. Oh my god, it would be so good a one. There's not a picture of my pood that exists anywhere in the world. I can't find it right now, but it was so good. I posted on my story at one point and a couple of people saw it. But I thought it was going to like kind of break the internet because it

looks so much like no one even cared. You know, when people see Jesus face and like yeah, and to people go insane is a pretty big one, you would think. And it was just in front of me. I was running in Forest Park and then all of a sudden, this girl had a backpack on in front of me, and I was just like, oh, yeah, I remember that story. Yes, okay, and e T. I just saw it as like a face. Okay, maybe I had it wrong. Okay, here's forest Park. Let me just pull up this and see if it comes

up on this. Remember when we went to forest Park that one time. Yeah, we went and we um went on those uh oh, last night I did something very similar to that. I went on a you did an activity, Oh my god, a big activity. Man. I'll find the t picture later. Um. I went on no, a ferry boat. A boat I went on. It's called the Becky Thatcher, but it's like a riverboat. There's only one riverboat down

by the Arch. And I went on a riverboat with Chris and my sister and my brother in law, Matt, and they were screening show, a show about paddling that my brother in law's business was featured on. And it was like a happy hour and a screening of this thing and then it's like a two hour riverboat ride. It was no. I mean, you just see a bunch of like kind of sad parts of St. Louis industrial garbage on set, but it's on the river and it's kind of pretty, and it's at sunset and you see

the arch and that's really pretty. But it was it was fun, it was cool. It was nice to do an activity, but also overrated, like could have done something else with that two and a half hours when you include the commune, you know. But it was nice to get out. I met new people and stuff. But it was a thing. And then, um, okay, let's get to the next news story. Okay, Shirley Manson shits okay, So here's some news out of Missouri. This is like awful.

A terrified book with a metal collar sawder to her neck escaped a dilapidated at home where she had been captive for around a month. She desperately dragged herself to the front door of multiple multiple neighbors just home to ask for help, telling them she was a sex slave while her abductor took his kid to school. Oh damn it. Yeah, it's one of those things. This iss Kansas City Missouri. By the way, on the other side, do you know what that where it is? There's Kansas City, but it's

on it's Kansas City, Kansas and Kansasity, Missouri. So this is on the other side, like you know of Missouri from where we are. If you folded like Missouri in half. St. Louis and I am a little confused. Actually, is Kansas City, Missouri are the same city? Uh no, No, but it's just like Kansas City, Missouri is I think a little bit nicer. You know, it'd be like East St. Louis slash St. Louis, but not as bad. I get what you're saying. Yeah, but it is the same Kansas City.

It's just it's split. There're two different cities because they're you know, there's a there's a St. Paul there. You know, there's a Portland, Maine, and there's a Portland Origin but we don't call them. We're not like what it's they're all port Maine and Oregon are very far apart, I know. But these two have to for it. Yes, yea, so it um Yeah. So this is really tragic. First of all, I think it's so crazy how every one of these

stories where someone escapes and is asking for help. It's always multiple doors they have to bang on because people are so freaked out that they don't open their door. And people just don't want to be a part of it by standard effect, like you just don't want to deal with it. I've done it too, where it's like, you know, the other day, I actually saw a woman crying on this I was coming back from a run. I was like on the walk part back, and there was this woman that was just like bent over, like

on a stoop, and she was just crying. And I was like, she seems a little like unstable and she's maybe I didn't know. She didn't look homeless, but it was just like she might just be like you know. And I was like I want to I gotta do it, you know, And so I was just like are you okay? And she was like Charlie, and I can't make it to my car. It just hurt so bad. It hurts so bad. And she's on speaker phone with someone who's trying to help her, and I'm like, can I get

you anything? My apartments right there? Can I get you like a like a theragon watley? And she was just like no, it happens all the time. And this poor woman, she was like a youngish woman, but she was just scrippled by the run horse. No, definitely not. Yeah, she was a little overweight, like she you could just tell

like she just had a cramp that was going. Maybe she was a runner, but I'm guessing she she was wearing like flip flops and it wasn't like but she was just like oh, and I felt good about but there's nothing I could do. I like kind of rubbed her like I was like, can I massagic for you and try to get out like distract. I didn't know what to do, but it made me so sad. But generally I think I sometimes just go I don't want to bother with some New York had like made me

that kind of desensitized. Had something similar to So when my dad drove me to Newark to come back home, we like got out of the car, We're like hugging goodbye, and I see this beautiful young woman coming out of like um, like one of those Cadillac stuvs. I guess it was an uber and all of a sudden, she just starts throwing up and um, she like closes the door. She goes, I'm sorry, and the car drives away and

she's just over there throwing up and I can't. I can't, so I um my dad had closed um bottles of water in the car, so I just like I was like, okay, I'm gonna just go off of her water because she's going to have this taste of vomit in her mouth on the t s A line. So I went up to her and I was like, here, would you like some water? And she just like took it opened and started drinking. And I was and I said, do you need anything else? I didn't want because she was probably

so embarrassed. I didn't want to have her feeling even more embarrassed. And she goes good. So I just left her alone. And then I saw her later in the airport. I wonder she's hungover or pregnant or I don't know, but it was I've never seen anything she would by herself. Yep. Wow. I think if someone comes up to your door, like your first instinct is like to be defensive, like you're afraid, you're fearful. It's like you're coming into my space? Why

are you coming? Oh? You must have mental illness. That's why you're coming into mice, but you don't think, oh, there's a murderer or like, and then you hear that and you're like, oh, well, this just solidifies my point that this person is crazy. So I think you're just like so undefensive that you don't even peep. You need to watch because it's out there, I know, obsessed, But they're like in the first episode is the first episode

of damer is when he gets caught. Is the last time that he got to, you know, try to get someone. And the guy escapes and he's running out and it's the same thing. He's running in the middle of the street in the cops see him and he has a handcuff on that he escaped from. He's naked, he's probably

bludgeoned or whatever, and he looks insane. I mean it looks like just you know, you see almost people like that a lot of times that are just like they're on PCP, so they've stripped off of their clothes, they they've maybe hurt themselves in some ways that they're bleeding and you just go and that person needs help too. I mean, like we dismissed that person too. It's just like but it's you, you just don't want to get

too close, and you kind of dismiss it. But this woman, um, so what happened with this woman was held as a sex slave by this guy. He's arrested. They were able. He went out to go take his daughter to school or something, and that's when she got out of these I love how they have daughters too, Like what needs an education? Okay, of course, So he takes this Sunday school and the cops were able to get back to his place and meet him outside before he was able

to go and destroy that what happened. Actually, it's even worse. It's even worse. Really, he was his article. What the fuck? He was stopped for like a traffic violation, and they took him in because he um violated some animal code law. So they took him in for that, and then they lived the leash a dog leash on a human. I kind have sworn, they said. They they arrested before he could go back in and ruin evidence while he took his son to schools. That's true, but they stopped helping

the traffic stop away from the house. Oh god, And Jeffrey Dahmer got stopped but with a traffic stop with bags of of dead body parts in the back of his car, and the cop goes, you know what, You're a promising young boy and this would really you know, he's drawn, He's like, this would really ruin your future. So I'm going to let you go, and then the car. You know. It's just that's how Ted Bunny got caught

on a routine traffic stop in Florida. It's just, um, I mean those kind of things that that might be God right, like helping, like like this guy, I'm sorry, God is really slipping if he even lets it happen to begin with, Like what this whole thing of God really intervened? Well, why did God make you him put a chain around your neck and rape you every day for months? Um? But God, but speaking of sex slaves

that are held captive. UM. I have been rewatching The Unbreakable Commissiment on Netflix and it is so it is so freaking funny. I'm watching this. I'm on the third season. It's It's up there with Veep in thirty Rock in terms of like great jokes. If I swear to God, if you need a show just to pop on and laugh and just watch the best writing in TV history. It's that show I'm blown Away. Last night I was watching and I was laughing so hard out loud by myself.

It felt like almost criminal to be laughing that. I don't ever laugh alone that hard. I was watching third season, but I felt after like the first season was like, I don't need to watch any more of this. I remember being very fat, like very thirty. It's the same, Yeah, it's but it is a great UM theme song, um Breakable.

She's a laugh damn it. It's a miracle. And it's all about these girls that were held in a bunker for their entire child hoods till um they're in their twenties and then they get out and so Ellie Uh Ellie Kemper, who was you know on the Office, plays the girl that gets out, and she's just like it's a great character because she's still a child and everything

is new to her. And by the third season she's she just gets yes, it's like elf, she has the mentality and she gets everything wrong and like there's this thing yesterday where by the third season they're just so used to her like not knowing anything, and one of her best friend's tightest the uh he's I forget who he's played by, but he's like, you know this almost like really flamboyant gay guy who loves show tunes. And

it's her best friend and she's talking about something. She sees a picture and she's like, man, I mean that's a milth and she goes and he goes at the same time they both say. He goes, we know you're gonna get it wrong whatever it is, we know you don't know, and she goes, uh uh funk. What did She goes? Uh? Man, I'd like to friend her or

something like that. Like it was like, um, but it was just so funny that they're already be self referential in that episode of like it would be funny if she just said what she thought Bill was, but to have him go, we know you're gonna get it wrong. At that point, they're in on the joke. But man, oh, and she gets a text and I put on this story but it says, oh, gosh, I gotta go back to my boss. My boss just said get you better get the duck over here, so I gotta go find

a duck. It's just like something like that. I mean, that was one of like fifty jokes that flew at my head last night, and I was just like, God, damn it, like it. There's so many funny things out there. Stop watching things that aren't funny. For the love of Dumber is funny, Honestly, it's funny because it's just he's so weird. But things that are comedies that are that caliber, we please stop watching them. I think for me pointed in comedy lately, I love the obviously enjoyed thirty Rocks.

Sometimes it could be too joke heavy for me. That's and I think people when you watch it, it's like it's a lot, don't I get, like wanting more story with your shows or more heart with your comedy shows. Yeah, but if you're someone who likes jokes, please support those shows because they're the best. Even like I watched SNL last night, the sketch, the Try guy sketch that people are so upset about. I don't even know what to try exactly, that's what the sketch is about. It's like,

who the funk cares about this? Why is this news? A guy cheated consensually with another woman that he worked with, and everyone's like this SNL is done, Like there's this whole like backlash for SNL now because they made light of this guy cheating, which I guess is just such a terrible thing. And it's like, this guy had an affair with a guess. The Try guys have a um A brand, and then they have another group of people

who do things and they're called the food babies. And this girl that he cheated with on his wife was a food baby, and so now they're like, this is about a man praying on someone who works within his company. It's like, how how many fucking people hook up with

people that you work with? All these people that are talking about like she was a victim I understand that that can happen power Dynamics, but literally every show you've ever watched where people fall in love, like, how many people have met when someone was at an office and someone was maybe in a little bit more position of a power I mean me and my boyfriend. So why don't you cancel me? I'm so tired of this, Like this girl was in a consensual relationship. She hasn't come

out and said it wasn't. Maybe we shouldn't take her word for it. I just don't understand everyone wants to cancel everyone for the dumbest thing. Part of me feels like you're not giving this person that was working under any credit that they can make their own choice. Yes, and just because someone's your boss doesn't mean what because people go don't let anything hold you back from true love. Anything except if he works in the department ahead of you and makes a little bit more money than you.

Then if he then if you go after him, then you are a victim and you don't even work in an office anymore. You met on Zoo. Everyone cheats? Why are we act saying? There was a whole thing of like when are we going to stop being surprised when men cheat like this? You know, Adam Levine, they called it the wife guy, the guy who like is like, I'm a guy that is a wife, and we're always like, so let because I guess this guy, the try guy

that cheated. He was known as like the wife guy, and it's like, I have a wife, and it's like the people who talk too much about their partner are probably more capable of doing things like this. Stop being surprised. Everyone cheats, not everyone, but man he talks about I mean, these are children that are getting upset about this, and I'm just so tired of I'm getting on board with like the the I'm now getting furious about canceled culture. I'm a little late to this game, but I think

it is so overblown. I'm so tired about people what people are getting upset about. It's ridiculous. Okay, well, let's go to break and not talk about try guys ever again. We'll be back after this with X. Alright, we're back, let's get to fan threats. Well, let's do it. No one's getting wet. Well that's true, that is yeah, yeah, m okay. Our first voicemail is from Sarah. Hi best Jesus is Sarah. I wanted to call in and ask

Nikki what she thinks that actually in Paradise. So far, I'm loving it so much, as ridiculous as it is, And I'm also putting together why I love reality TV so much. It is such a good way to like watch other people's actions and see how they actually play out,

Like seeing Genevieve and the things that she's doing. It's frustrating, but it's also so much of I think putting a mirror to who I was in college, like just feeling insecure doing things out of insecurity, warning a guy to like me, putting somebody else down like to them in order to get them to like me. War And it's just like watching reality helps me not do those things because I see how they actually play out and it's

not a good look. It doesn't get you what you want. Um. I also love that they're doing like a Costa a More version where the girls leaving the guys are tested crazy but into it. And I also think that somebody put a curly to pay on Dak Shepherd and he's

wanted the contestants like I looked so much like It's insane. Uh. Side note, I also wanted to ask Noah what it is that she's fed on Pinterest Between Reddit and Pinterest as far as like scrolling endlessly on my phone and Pinterest is just my boards are just full of d i y projects that I save in love, will never do but have so much fun watching people make this textured art and this thing out of a dollar tree thing. But yeah, I was just curious about that for Noah.

I love you guys things, I love it. Um, Well, let's starve with you, Noah, what do you look at on Pinterest like you do the same thing. What is something on your pendris right now that you're like, I'll never make this, but if I could choose one thing to do, it would be this, is there something that you can think of right now? So I've been pinning a lot of um d I y gardens because I want to grow vegetables and stuff, but I don't. I'll

never do it. Or just like homecre stuff you could do, I could see you doing that, and what horse stuff? No home decor like the winter pots that Kristen does, like those are goddamnit. Do you know what? I came up with? Another thing that girls have that I don't have that are like this is a this isn't this is a deep dive on like if you're a girl, I think that I do have a lot of listeners that don't feel like real women and maybe relate to

me in a lot of ways. There's another thing when girls like I can't watch scary movies because I'll have a nightmare. If you have nightmares about something you watch that night, Like, you can't just scary movie because then that night you have nightmares about it. You are a perfect woman Because I have nightmares, but they are never about the thing I just watched. They're always like about something.

They're like, I, you know, I'm missing my flight and I don't have time to pack, and then the taxicab driver is, you know, my dad, but my my dad doesn't know who I am anymore. It's never like I've been watching so much dam Or. I'm dying for dam Or to show up in my dreams. I want more episodes. If you are a girl, that's like, I can't go see that movie because then I'm gonna have nightmares about the purge. You are a girl I want to be. I'm so jealous. And that's a specific thing, but like

girls who have pretty nightmares, that makes sense. That was like he was chasing me and I was naked, and like there was blood on the walls. If you have dreams, that makes sense. You are a perfect girl. Yeah, you're also I don't think asleep. I think you're just still whatever. That what is it called girls? I've never related to girls that are like I can't watch these shows because they give me nightmares. And many is like that, and I'm just like, man, I wish I was a girl

like that. I'm a boy like that. I used to when I would watch Nightmare in Elm Street, I was fucked for like a week, and your nightmares would be about that You're a perfect girl girl bachelor in Paradise. Yeah, you know what. I like what she said. She said that she watches it to not be like she used to be. Yes, And I thought this whole time that people watch it to justify their shitty behavior, like, oh no, I don't think that at all these these well maybe

I don't know. I won't say I never thought it at all, but I feel like I think a lot of times. I guess what I'll say is that a lot of times girls, I think, or guys will watch these shows and be like, I would never act like that, And the truth is you do all the time. So I like that. What was her name again, Sarah? Sarah? I like that Sarah was able to say I see myself in this because I think a lot of times

we go I would never fucking do that. And the thing is, have you ever seen footage of yourself and like a home video or you don't know you're being even a pic of yourself you don't know is being taken and you go, oh my god, I slouch like that.

I talk like that, like you don't know. That's why I wanted to do my reality show is to kind of it gave me a version of myself that I was like, oh whoa like my friends and family put up with a lot like it gave me a perspective on how difficult I can be and how annoying I can be. And um, I definitely think. I mean, for most people aren't watching Bachelor in Paradise, but it is a great season that you should just jump into and you can just jump into it, and it is it's

like watching zoo animals. It's like watching humans in the zoo, like a habitat where you keep them and you. That's what I've always said about f Boy. When I was promoting it, I'd be like, reality TV is like a David Attenborough documentary about like watching this species of animal and they're mating habits when they are kept in like

a tribe. Yeah, well it's just like you know I and I also feel like um, I with Genevieve especially, I will say what I pay attention to mostly is what face work I do and don't want to have done, and how everyone has a nose job. Everyone everyone in Hollywood. I want you to I want everyone to remember this. Every single actress that you want to be has had a nose job, every single one of them, and I want to join them. They've all had nose jobs. They've

all had Um. There's one girl that looks like Ariana. Call her Arianna Kardashian because she's her face is a perfect mixture of both of them. Um. There's a girl named Shana who is stunning. She looks like young Michelle Pfeiffer. Uh. There's um, and then there's Genevieve, who I really like, but um, her lips are I actually kind of want

her lips. Um. But yeah that in terms of behavior, I really this is just for this is just for Sarah, But I really did not like how j n Viev both her and Sa are like, I'm gonna like date other guys and like and the guys that they so they're in like a relationship with the guys. On like the first couple of days, they like find a guy and they kind of match up. Then a new guy

comes in and like pulls them for a date. And then the guy that they were kind of matched up with is a little sad and the girl gets back from the date and she's like, it was amazing. Actually, he really showed me a lot of affection and like, you don't do that and I need to like know from you. It's like this guy's knowing you for one fucking day. And she goes, honestly, how am I supposed to feel when you at breakfast? I sat next to you, you gave me one kiss And he goes, oh, so

we're counting kisses now, and she goes, how gay. She freaks out and it's like, yeah, you are counting kisses. It's out of line. You're WEIRDO. It sucks, And I hate the idea of any woman being at home being like, go, girl, get him, because you're wrong these guys. I'm never the one to take the guy's side on these shows, but these girls have it all. I don't know where they get this entitled it from people going from it up, but yeah, but they get rewarded for being insane. Like

that's why. It's like if you were watching a zoo animal show and every time one of the animals attacks someone, they got a treat, and you get treats for being as loud, and producers are probably like it sucks that he didn't really touch you at breakfast. I could tell he's like all I've realized Sarah and Noah is that Women we just want to feel desired. Can I say that? I hate being one of these comedians who goes Let me say that again. Read that again, Women to all

men listening, Women want to feel desired. The way to feel desired for a guy to make you feel touch us. Yes, unless you're a girl that doesn't like touch touching, But if it's early on, I mean, are you free rain to be touched after you kiss? I guess you know what I mean when you're making out like She's just girls like a guy who is kind of ravenous for them but also seems unattainable in a way. I guess

it's a it's a hard balance to strike. But a guy that is just zeroed in on you a role that has healthy um self esteem, I think will really appreciate that. If if you have to play hard for a get for a girl, yes it's gonna work, but you ultimately can't keep that up forever if you want to marry this person, Like, can you imagine playing hard to get in your relationship? Once you're married. It's like you didn't take up the Well, yeah, I'm acting like

you don't exist. Yeah, but there's other guy took out the trash for me. You're cheating on me. You're counting the trash take our kids to school? What? Who is this guy? He drives a better car than me. How long you even cheating? Whatever? Man, you just don't pay enough attention. I just think that women want to feel desired. I feel like that's when cheating happens, is when a woman feels and the same with men. Men want to feel desired as well. Men want to feel don't you agree?

Like men want to feel sexually, not just sexually, but just like they want to feel like they're woman needs them, Like I said that Chris really appreciates being needed more than I do. Like I like being needed, like physically or like you're just so cute and I just want like I just I like to be adored. I like some guy to look at me and be like, god, you're like so like I like an adoring look. But I feel like men need to feel essential, like I

need you. I think, well, thinking about the point where it's like you want to feel desired, I think men have trouble one knowing doing it enough, but then when they're told to do it, it then feels like, uh, it doesn't feel as organic to them. They on it to be on their terms. And I need to get over that control thing. I can't win. But I don't know if it's control thing. It's like I don't want to be told what to do. Okay, but if I then go, okay, you are fantastic, You're the most beautiful

girl in the world. But that well, then you don't get to tell someone what you need. If we're going to you're not allowed to be a girl who goes, I need you to touch me more, and then when he does, you go, you're just doing that because I told you you are not mature. You are you're asking for things that this guy. You're putting this guy in

a position where he can't win. So when I asked Chris for something, I always give the caveat of like, I'm not gonna be when you touch me or when you know, tell me this thing or say this kind of things. I'm not going to accuse you of trying to get on my good side or lying like I because the thing is I know he feels that way. I just I wouldn't be asking for something if I didn't think he felt that way. I'm like, I know

you feel this way already. I need you to speak my language for even if the person, even if the person though isn't even throwing it back in your face. For me, it just doesn't feel that's you because you don't you. I've noticed through the years do not like being told what to do. You don't like being told you're not doing this, I need you to do this more, and so you rebel against that, like do this thing instead of taking it as you're not. It's okay, you're

not perfect. There's some things that I'm sure the person who's telling you that could improve on. But it doesn't mean that you're a bad person. You just can. You might need to work on not taking that personally. Yeah, I know. I take a lot of things personally, especially you mean I take stuff personally my own to take person I had a thing the other day that I

was really excited about our like realization. I think therapy has helped us, but I sensed his mood shift about something, and it was in that weird state of like where we're just in the car and it's silent, and it's never that way he dates Nikki Glaser. There's never just silent, you know, even when there even when he was dating Robot Nickie, I was filling the silence with little taps and then like Robot voice would be like I like

this song. Like I was always talking, and so it was silence, and I was thinking, he's in a bad mood. I don't know what I did. Something's wrong. I don't even want to deal with this right now. I don't want to. I don't want to ever be uncomfortable with my partner. I don't want to have these like weird moments where we're both like walking on eggshells about our feelings. I'm like, that is I told him yesterday after we got over this fight. I was like, I just wanted

to always be easy with you. And I know that's an impossibility maybe, but of all people in the world, I would just like us to never have that. I don't need a relationship where it's ever going to feel like you're mad at me. No, you're mad at me. So I said something and he was like, well, I feel like you're annoyed at me. And I'm like, well, now I'm so, and then I go, can we back

track to why you think I'm annoyed with you? And he goes, well, you, I was talking about your the thing that you were, you know, having struggles with that you brought up. I was giving you advice and you interrupted me, like you know, four times, and you just seem to like dismiss me. And I was like, I could see how that would feel like a dismiss miss dismissal it probably it was a dismissal. I'm really sorry that I did that. I need to work on listening

better to you. Will you please? Because he sometimes goes when I'll be like you and you're all angry about this, He's like, I'm please, don't misconstrue what my behavior. Sometimes you misinterpret it. And so I was like, will you do the same for me? As like when I am talking over you that I maybe I'm just a d d and I haven't talked to anyone all day and I just maybe need to get all these thoughts out and that I'm not it's not that I don't respect you,

even though my actions you take that as disrespect. We give me the benefit of doubt that it might not be because I promise you I never do anything to purposely hurt you. I've never done that, and it's just

it's hard, but at the to be able to. I think a good technique in resolving a fight is to say, oh, you know what, this is a lot like this thing I do to you, the thing I'm feeling from you right now that i'm mad about it reminds me a lot of a thing that I do to you, or like just relating it to what the person experiences from you, because I think because I think a lot of times in fights, I don't know about you, but it can seem like one person is getting piled on another person

is just like I'm perfect. So if you can relate it to something you struggle with, like I'm a bad listener, I talked, talked over you, but when your mood shifts, it seems like you shut down and you don't give me a chance to like you just assume that I'm mad and then it's over, you know why. But I think what happens is and is when So when a guy gets or a girl gets quiet, they feel like, oh, if I start talking, then it might happen again, and

then I'll just lose my mind. So like he might be afraid to mention anything because then if you interrupt that, he'll just be But I take his quietness as I'm punishing her, and now she's not going to get anything of me. But she's just broke. And I have to remember a friend of mine isn't therapy now, and she was like her and her husband both like talked about childhood trauma, not trauma in terms of like actually I mean both actual trauma and like little things of like

my parents just didn't listen to me or this. Try to remember for me, it's been really helpful lately to picture Chris as like a four year old boy whenever these kind of like things that he does that are his coping mechanisms in a fight, like either shutting down whatever he does that Instead of taking it personally, I'm just like, that's his little boy, like you know, come into the surface, and I just gotta be nice to that little boy and not take it like he's being

mean to me, because my story I tell myself is he hates me, he's disgusted with me, he can't believe he's dating someone who's so annoying and thoughtless and careless, and he's going to break up with me because he's realizing right now in this moment, I'm just a despicable person who's selfish and only over talks. That's the story. It's on myself. And then I go to we're broken up, like he doesn't want to be with me anymore. I

am a bad person. I should just go fucking kill myself like that's how quickly I go when he is it gives me a one word answer after he's been talked over. That's where I go and where he goes when I think where he goes when I talk over him is she doesn't respect me? She um, I she doesn't respect me, and we don't really want my help. Yeah, you don't effort in. She doesn't see any of you. I actually don't even here for she doesn't even need me.

When the truth is I wouldn't even I need you to hear all this ship and then give me your answer. And I maybe wasn't, but it is true that I need to work on not just steamrolling a conversation. And when he says something, maybe it's going to benefit me to go oh, that's interesting you say that and repeat back to him what he said in a way that makes him feel understood and heard, like there, and there

are things I miss all the time when I'm just on. Yeah, I feel like you get your thoughts out there through words, like while you're thinking, you're also talking. They both happened exactly at the same time. And I kind of do the saying you don't go. You never I've never seen you go. When I couldn't talk, that was the only time where thoughts had to go, and I go, is this important enough to speak? And now I'm back to I need to get back to a place of like

thinking before speaking. But God, is it fun to just speak without thinking. It's the most fun ever. It's what do we do for a living. We're kind of good at it. Okay, let's get another fan tex. That was a great one. Sorry to uh, yeah, that was great and Genevieve, here's another ham drip from Victor. Hey, Nicki, Andrew noah, Um, I was just listening to today's episode Tagging Out, and you commented about how guys like you sporting games or sporting events to like let out emotions

at they can't elsewhere. I actually went to the Detroit Lions home opener at Ford Field, and when I was walking to my seat, I heard a guy behind me just go, oh, man, I can't wait to yell and I have to MLF therapy, Like that's that's not a healthy mentality going into this game. But I just thought it was funny. Y'all commented on that, because yeah, I went to a couple of football games this season and and it's definitely a thing. So I love the show

and ye Jack Bok, thanks Victor. Hey, umny just right on the nose. Just but I like that that person at least something I like about that of like, you know, he knows what he needs, he has an excuse to yell, and we did. We did uncover something in that. I think men you're right they use that as an excuse to get feelings out, because I my dad's anger that night just startled me so much. But it was just something he isn't able to get out anywhere else. But it was just he can't turn and yell at you.

That just his abuse. He's gotta yell at He's got to yell through the He's yelling at you through the Bengals he's like message of siege. I'm like, can before Chris Lake and just not say anything? Touchdown? Also buy me a car. It is. It is interesting how some people when they're upset, scream and some people shut down. Yeah or yeah or do both. But yeah, yeah, I like the idea of going to the game and he's impartial, He's just there to yell. He's just like even there.

I just don't want to have a thing where you could go break stuff because I think, yeah, there's rooms where you can just go shatter things with a sledgehammer. Listen, it's all the same thing. Yeah, and playing sports and I bet that gets it out even more. I mean, like, oh dude, it got out everything that was the best and then it just goes away. That's the hardest part. We were talking about that when retire you just performing

comedy also does performing does that too? Like I feel like my whole set can be dictated on, like my my mood, even podcasting, Like I came in here yesterday to press, it was a whole different vibe than the day before. I think that's why I like to do four days a week, is because I can't guarantee I'm going to be in the best podcasting mood one day a week, you know, like too much of a grab

bag with old moody. I feel like, though, if we had to do probability, if I know you well enough towards Wednesday Thursday, you're gonna tend to be at least when you're touring. When you're touring Wednesday and Thursday, you start freaking out. No, no, no, it starts getting better. Oh interesting, Yeah, Monday and Tuesday because I'm back in a place where I don't have any purpose. Final thought. Kirsten was on a vacation the other day from her job, and she was a nine day vacation cape cod all

over the care of themselves, that's what makes them. I did a lot of research on. I was like, why do they exist? She was like, well, they are plants that don't need to be watered. They can exist in the freezing cold. So it um so she but she was because she was having she was starting to freak out about like she bought a vibe. I'm sorry, Kristen. She bought a toy. She went to a store and there was this The woman there talked them into this

toy and they spent like two on this thing. I mean, these vibrators are like expensive now, yeah, frustration hardware, frustration hard It was it was just a bed post you can grind on. And she was feeling this immense and I think it can't just be her and I that

have this. If you haven't worked in a couple of days, or you feel like maybe you have a vacation, right, and you haven't earned money proactively in a couple of days, little charges suddenly, no matter how well off you are, start feeling like when you couldn't speak, Yeah, I was like, I can't get sushi. It will never come back. Yes, yeah, I feel that way. Yeah, And so Kristen was having

that with this. She was so upset, but she was like because we've been counting cries and coming and so she was like, I cried because of this dumb thing we wasted our money on that didn't even work and it wasn't even good. And I looked at the toy and I was like, oh, I actually have one of those. I don't think you're supposed to do what they go you put that inside you during sex like with another And she was like, yeah, that's what it says to do, and I'm like, oh, I guess I never read the book.

I was said it was a solo toy that was so dumb. So I got to try it out and see if it works for me. But anyway, she was so mad about it, and I was like, oh my god, I so relate to this one of the fights I got in with Chris during my Silent times. Uh, it was right after my silent time. But I've been off work now. I haven't earned money for you know, the podcast. I earned money, but like it just doesn't even feel I just I haven't been working in a way that

makes me feel like I'm working. And I like ordered Starbucks to the wrong place in Lexington, Kentucky when we were there watching Greg Warren Special and Chris and I took an uber to this other Starbucks and Chris had kind of told me what we're going to this part of town, and I just like selected a Starbucks that I thought and I selected the wrong one, and so for a second, I was like, well, you told me it's town Center, and I was like, and I ordered

something like I was just like, well you told me some I'm Center, and I ordered to that one. So that's why it's at another one. But I'll guess. I guess I'll just waste eight dollars on a drink. And I just had that like two of like and then he shuts down because he's like, you're mad at me, like I'm to blame for it, and I'm like and then I just go, babe, I'm sorry. I don't know why I did. I just overreacted. It's eight dollars, it's not a big deal. I just ordered one to this

one who cares. It's not a big deal. And he was like, but we can go get yours. It's fine, and he was figuring away, and I was like, it's so stupid. I just haven't worked in eight dollars to me. Even yesterday, I went to call these because they didn't have all the milk at Starbucks on the street and it was ten dollars for a smaller coffee than the one I get Starbucks that is not even as good.

And I was so mad about it. And I could afford ten dollars, I mean, but for some reason it was it's devastating right now, like every I just but anyway, Kristen said that she realized how I feel. She was like when I'm not home, when I'm on vacation, I feel constant guilt about everything, and I feel like I can't really enjoy myself. I feel like you know. When it was she one day it was rainy there and she started crying because she was like, well, this is

a pointless day to even be here. I should be homeworking instead. So she felt guilty, and she was like, I go, I feel that way when I'm home, Like that's how I I feel imbalanced. So it's like the opposite. She feels secure at home because that's where money, routine, everything, and I feel on the road is almost like home. And when I'm home, like you said, Monday, Tuesday. Maybe

I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I always thought that it was like it's interesting with you because you don't get the runner high from perform at least you will never you never really since I do. He was like, you are you are? I think you are, but I think you almost fight against it something, or at least you verbalize that it's like not that big of a deal. Maybe it's too Like I'm in a good mood and

I'm spunky, but I'm not like they love me. I love this, but I think that high, whether it's like consciously or like you want to admit it, it's it is a high. It goes somewhere, so then it has to come down, no matter how maybe so you come down to calm down. It's always for every action there is, it's it's gonna be a pendulum swing. And I I got remember when I was really depressed in l A. I don't know if I even talked about this on the podcast. I was so depressed after Jimmy Kimmel and

someone was like, yeah, you just did cocaine. You just were on a bender for three days preparing for Kimmel. It was just like and then doing it and everyone's like, you go out when you do Kimmel. It was so cool. I can't wait to have my own talk show and come up with all these like rituals. But I think I said it like they go like best so ever,

all the crew. I mean, there's like forty people create like a congo like non congoline, but like a you know, gauntlet for you to go down and you hand slap everyone. Then you go. It's just like and then afterwards they all give a toast to me and there it was just, how am I not going to come down from that? It is ecstasy, So I gotta What I need to do is not If I did that every day, it wouldn't I would get used to these ups and downs. I would be able to regulate my adrenal glands in

my like system. But when I'm not doing that regularly, it's going I'm going to have crashes. And that was what that was. I think nice to know that waiting after they have babies, the babies coming, It's here, it's coming, not just hormon it's gotta be like this, like or after a wedding. I always worry about women after a wedding, because man, do you get so much attention before a wedding, and women unlike Noah who like thrive on that are so excited about I'm going to be the center of attention.

Everything's about me this weekend. And even if you're not like that, it's just you know it's a big deal and you're worried about all these details. And then I always, honestly, when I go to weddings, I just look at the brind and I go, oh, tomorrow, you are no one's I mean, your honeymoon is going to be great, but even that's going to be a little bit lonely because you get to this island in Hawaii where no one really is because there's no family and friends around anymore

that are as excited as they were here. The next weekend you have another wedding. They don't have another wedding. You have another wedding to look forward to. Another showing shows, yes, I think, I think, I guess. I think the defense mechanism that are not defense but like a way for us to shield it is go it's four thousand people, it's the same thing as doing a show for a

hundred people. It's the same thing when it's not. Really it isn't because even if it's, we have to tell ourselves that because we know it's going to go away almost But also we keep when people are scared to fall in love because they're like, what if, because they've been hurt before, what if this goes away? That's why I've had so many shows canceled, not so many, but like every show I've had has been canceled. It's never been like I just want to step away and it

hurts so badly. The first time with Nicki and Sarah alive. You have to aea The next time, I was like, I'm not going to get excited about this because I know it will be canceled and it's hard. And I even feel that way about having kids. Like I have said it before, but if you're a mother or someone who wants to be a mother, I think you were so much braver than I am, because to love something that much that if it's taken from you, I won't just like you know, you can lose your job, you

can lose, You're gonna lose your parents. We're gonna lose. We're gonna lose everything we have eventually because you die and you lose it. And nuclear war it's about eight weeks away. I feel like, at least I would have never have chosen to have parents if I knew the pain that is awaiting me when they die. I am

so scared of it. If if there was a thing where he's like, you can be someone who's just in the way that I'm gonna be childless, probably I would like to be parentless because I love them so much. I'm in for a world of hurt, so why would I want another thing I could possibly lose. I just don't want to do it. Even my nephew and niece. I'm just like a little resentful they were thrust it into my life because now I love this thing so much that I'm like, if something happens to them, my

life is over. Although I do I said. I made a joke the other day because Anya was talking about someone she heard on some podcast or something that said, you know, this woman was having just kind of monotony or in her career at the age of forty or or whatever, and she was just like, I guess this is my life. And then her dad died and it made her like rethink everything, and I'm like, hey, can my dad die pretty soon? Because I would really like to, like I need I need something to like jolke me.

So it's kind of funny being like, well, maybe just like a heart attack and almost die. It's what I It's the thing I want word at least in the word. But I know that when my dad dies and my mom. But when my dad dies, because I'm like Daddy's girl the rock, when I will it will, something will happen. I will start a jewelry business. I will start pinning things on something there will be um. But anyway, oh um, what was I gonna say? Sometimes we need those shifts

to like to push ourselves forward. Unfortunately it's I can be very sad. I'm looking for one. And do you know what, I just because Kirsten made a giant change in her life that was like she was kind of teeter taltering, no nothing, So she was teeter tottering on a decision that she needed to make of like am I gonna do this thing or am I not going to do it? And the thing that made her decide to do it, which I think is so dumb and I totally like rolled my eyes when she did it,

she saw a psychic. And so I just wrote to Kirsten's psychic because I was like, I need something mystical or some kind of push to like make me believe, like make me make a decision. And not that I even need to make a decision. I just feel like I just needs a jolt, and I don't want anyone in my life to die. I don't want the jolt to happen from like a car accident. I want like maybe a psychic to really floor me with something. Now

would it be? Here's the thing with psychic though there never negative, Like sometimes I wish they were negative, just because that would jolp me. Be like, well, if you're on this path, the psychic doesn't know your last name, doesn't look you up at all, and I there's something about that that I feel good about. I almost wrote to her and was like, this is Nicky Glazer because I kind of like to tell people so like maybe they can google me even if I wasn't famous, just

so they know I'm not like a crazy person. But I just said Nikki, so I feel like I'm excited me too. We'll see what happens. She hasn't written me back, but I predict Dana White, who's the UFC we have to go? He actually, you know what, maybe save it for next time. Oh my god, Well stay tuned. We actually have a lot to get to next Monday. I do want to preemptively say that, Um, we have an amazing song that someone had sex to that we are going to play on Monday's show. That is so funny.

I hope we get to it. Um we have your Dana White story. Uh, we'll have I'm going to Metric to see Metric and Denver. This is the band Metric. Andre's going to see Jake I Want tomorrow and I'm sigt Louis and Site. I'm going to Denver with Noah and my friend Kat and we're having a whole weekend. We're probably gonna go to Columbine for a fourth time. I'm very excited. It'll be Noah's first. I have been to Combine three times. I'm going to try to go four times in a year, so that'll be this weekend.

I gotta get this call. Thank you guys for listening so much. Don't be closed this weekend at Jack the guy from White Stripes
