#401 Nuanced Compliments, Is It A Bad Word? Special vs. Lucky w/ Julie!

The Nicky Glaiser Podcast.

Glaser, here's Nicky Here, I am Hi, It's Nicky, It's Nieky Glazer podcast. Welcome to the show. I'm joined in studio. As promised on the last episode, I said she'd be here.

She is.

It's Julie Glazer.

Made it made it a second.

It was tight.

It was tight.

Okay, tell me well, I didn't even know what happened. Well, she was on the ladder, paint ladder? What was that? No, did Julie say she got off a paint ladder?

Yeah, So I just last minute was like, oh, it would be really fun to do a podcast with mom here, and I forgot to ask her to do it.

And so because we had a fun dinner.

Last night and there was lots of laughs, and so then I was like, oh, yeah, let's get another hang in. And then I was like I couldn't have her. We did one right before this that you heard yesterday, and then I right at the beginning of that, I was like, hey, if you want to come by in an hour a podcast. And so you were on a step ladder. I was you were not supposed to be on ladders. I don't like, I wasn't paint ladder.

Yeah, paint, I was painting. I didn't know.

And do you know that paint takes three hours long? Three hours to dry?

Oh wait, he's not a common knowledge now.

Wait no, no, it's something we realize everyone does know on every level, but for some reason, we all forgot that day.

But yeah, so you were painting what.

I'm painting my bathroom, laundry room.

Oh my god, that's a lot.

Yeah it is, but I'm getting it done and.

You, luckily, luckily resilient woman.

I actually, uh was finished, and I looked at my phone and it was you saying, do you want to do the podcast?

I was like, oh my god, I just finished a great.

Timing and I thought I can make it down there by one o'clock. I did, but I ran upstairs and I'm like, e J, you got to help me, and I need these brushes cleaned out. And he's like, no, I have a sweater on. I can't the old I have a sweater on.

I've got the sweater.

I said, take your sweater off and put an apron on.

Yeah, and he is that your excuse to not have sex? He thrown it back in your face.

Wait.

Sorry, I can't sweater on.

That's been sometimes I'm like, I want to take this this sweater.

I'm a turtleneck. I'm going to stretch it out again, it's gonna suck up my makeup. Like can we just have.

Sex with the sweater on? And not that I've ever had sex, but you know that wouldn't work. No, no, but anyway.

No, he wasn't helpful at all. Yeah, he had to have his lunch. He was like, well, got to eat because I got to sing.

Later on this.

I'm getting ready for lunch.

He's got so many excuses.

What does that have to do with you?

It has nothing to do with me.

But he just was more concerned about his lunch and not me getting He's.

Like, you know, it's it's wild.

And then and then he was being really sweet, saying, do you think you want to have a cup of soup too?

I'm like, that's not no.

He knew, he knew you had to gonew And.

Then I came out to your shore. You sure you don't want a cup of soup?

Well, he's so proud of himself that he made soup because when because classically, when my mom makes something, it's just like a forethought that my mom's going to make dinner, like she makes these elaborate meals with like and I never I grew up with the best dinners that a child could have. There was always something green, There was always a starch, there was always a fruit, there was

I would go over a friend's house.

I remember Laura, I won't say her name, but went over her house and they just had spaghetti. And I remember coming back home and being like they didn't have garlic bread, they didn't have lalad, and they didn't have a salad. Like what are they they're just eating for dinner? Just spaghetti? That's not nutritious.

You have always have a fruit with dinner.

Yeah, well you would have some kind of like it would be a sweet like you are hitting all of the things.

Or on the plate, no, on the plate like with.

Fruit, like there would just be a side of like yeah, like so let's for example, a dinner would be like maybe roast chicken, and then there would be green means and then there would be uh, mashed potatoes and then there would be like a fruit salad that she put in like a separate little bowl like on the dish that would be like a orange fresh oranges, grapes, blueberries, pineapple.

Sometimes.

Yeah, that's highly unusual for dinner. I feel like there's a crunch thing.

Well, yeah, I guess it's not, or apple sauce would be.

It's it's kind of like just having your dessert with your food a little bit. Because we were like a big dessert family. We would we would then go snack on like milk duds in the next room, or goobers or like whatever, get them a TV, and then that's.

Dessert time for sweets. It's the right way to do it.

No, but we had such palaced meals. So that's so my mom makes these elaborate meals. My dad classically, it's just my dad is a near perfect man.

But one of his biggest.

Flaws is like he can't really give compliments about food, and they're like a way that it's it takes a lot to hear like this is good.

It's got to be really really good.

Oh yeah, and other people have to start at first. Oh yeah, these are the things I've observed.

I don't know.

Maybe you've had other times where it's like he is just like he's trying to be better.

I think good he should be, because it's hard for me.

I have the same thing, where like, sometimes if I send someone wants a compliment for something, and I feel a little bit guilty that I'm not the one doing this thing, and I feel guilty they even have to do it, then I'll like with whole a compliment because then if I say, I think this is subconscious right, if I say thank you so much for this meal, this is amazing, I'm acknowledging that, like this is hard work, and then I am therefore reinforcing that I'm letting this

And so it makes me feel guilty.

So you almost don't give too many compliments so you can walk away from it being like it wasn't that hard.

I'm not kind of a dick for always.

Making her do this every single night, So instead I'll be a dick by not saying anything about how good it is and being appreciative. But I think that's what people do subconsciously, or because I don't think Dad has a villainous bone in his body, or like some a cruel bone, but it sometimes comes off as cruel because you're just like.

Just give me the fucking compliment. And then he'll come, well, i'm not gonna say I like the soup. I like hot soup, So the soup's cool.

And I always go find something you like about it, the color, the texture, the work that went into it, Like it doesn't just because it has one flaw doesn't mean it's all bad.

He's like, I can't find something about it. I'm wearing a sweater.

Yeah, I don't want to ruin it.

I told Chris one time. I was like, I got mad at him because he didn't I like, put it into work, into my like outfit, and I didn't get a compliment that I so desperately was wanting. And so I'm like, why didn't you say anything? And he's like we talked through it, and he was like, I'm sorry I didn't catch that, like I just it was missed on me. And I'm like, there's no way, like, look

So and I believe him. He's not a liar. So it was truly like he just didn't know.

But in my mind he was like he noticed, and he was like, I'm not going to say this to her, like it hurt me, like you're withholding or something.

But then he said, but what do you.

Want me to say when I don't like what you're like? Am I supposed to say I like it? If I don't, and I'm like, find something you like about me? It could be your teeth look great, your you have amazing smile tonight, your eyes look great, like those things I didn't buy.

If you go, what do you think about my shirt?

And I don't say what you think about my shirt? I don't say that. No, you know what he can say? You are you? Look at how beautiful you are?

Okay this vague?

Oh my god?

You look look at you? Just look at It says nothing. Look at you could literally mean look at you looking like shit.

But look at you might take that wrong though, you're too sure.

If you know anything about me, please God know that I am not looking for places that people can I'm not looking for criticisms. So like when I tell someone, people always go, You're not gonna appreciate that if he If he if you tell him, hey, I want you to compliment my outfits more and then he does two minutes later, I'll be like, no, I want it now, like I.

Told you to do it, do it.

I'll I'm not gonna be like, you're only saying that because I told you to say that. I'm never a girl that does that. That's such a trap, and I don't set up people for failure.

You're not, No, I want I do do experiments.

We've talked about this on the Girl's Chat that sometimes women put their husbands and sometimes probably men do this where you're like, I'm gonna test and see if he even if I don't touch something for this song, how long will it go without getting addressed. Let's just see how long he can live like this and like or just or I'm gonna.

Actually set him up. Is he gonna say anything.

I'm gonna actually do my hair in a different way. And if he doesn't say anything, then he doesn't fucking love me and all these things. But I guess my point is you can always find something nice to say always.

Every This is like the reverse of what you were talking about yesterday. About coincidences where you were looking for like the thing that doesn't make it like special.

Actually, yeah, yeah, this will make it spa. I want to repeat that again.

It's not I just don't I think that sometimes. I think a lot of the bad things of our world is that we have egos and we think that I am blessed in some sort of way. These people aren't, and I am. I have had all this great fortune because God likes me more, and God must not like those people very much. So maybe it's okay that I don't care about their well being, because why would God make that person homeless and make me super rich? Because God loves me and he doesn't love them, so I

Yesterday.

I just think it's find the po like finding the positive in the situation.

Yes, without making it like I am special, like you're an.

Ordinary and that's fine, like something.

I did not tell the Iceland story too. From that story, it was special.

No, it was you were sharing a coincidence.

Yeah, a coincidence which was their special god preachers who are warranted.

Here's a story like that. My parents.

My dad is my mom's older brother's best friends. So she like grew up around my dad. She was like a little girl around my dad, and like we could all go like, wow, the fates aligned that that. Like, but it's like that's why they ended up together because of the circumstance, like your your friends might have ended up together because they both went to Iceland at the same time.

So it's not that bizarre that like, and can you believe they ended up married.

It's like yes, because they they went to Iceland at the same time and and to each other, and they thought it was.

Like we are meant.

Story.

You're off.

I was this weekend and I'm going rogue.

Baby, it's all those paint fumes.

You ate them?

Anything special? I just like I I also I realized like I think. I always think of things of like, thank god my parents met and had sex at the same exact time, and that my little sperm was like and like got an egg. Like these are all like that's the out of all those billions of.

Sperm because it was specials on the planet is special because where we won the sperm lottery.

Right, Yes, it doesn't mean special.

We're lucky, specially touched by the finger of gods.

Yes, well a little sperm.

But you know what, I don't know. Some people are special, but this is the other thing.

So I'm trying to live in a world where it's like no one special, people are lucky, but we're all kind of the same. And then people want to constantly make other things make people go like but and I feel like everyone wants to feel special, But then we all have to accept this thing of like everyone's equal.

Well can people be lucky? Is that the question is?

Yes, that is what it is.

I think it's just people misconstrue luck with God loves me and I am there for a better person, that I did something better in a past life. This is karma because I was a good How easy is it for you to convince yourself you were good in a past life?

What the you have nothing to fucking do with that? It's true yourself?

If you think you were some saint in a past life and now you've been granted, who gives a ship that was another person?

Doesn't mean anything to me?

Like, it doesn't mean literally anything to me, even if it's true, even if.

No greater existence then I mean, there would be no greater outcome than to be reincarnated and live over and over again.

That would be amazing.

You hope that's what it is.

I hope.

So do you, like I believe like humans turn into humans again or is it like could you be like a an amoeba, which is most things you know?

Yeah, I mean that kind of would suck if you turn it.

But if you go the thing is, if you turn into an amiba, you're for like yeah, and then you get if you were a good amoba and you didn't kill anybody or whatever.

You're lucky. If you're lucky.

That's that I don't understand. I think that is lucky.

That is like on the eyelash of Taylor Swift, like a little single cell organism that can hang out on her eyelash.

How do you the next state of being if you're an amba? Like who judges whether or not you were a moral upstanding ama.

This is why I got into a huge fight with Carlisle the other day about Jesus and Christians and ascending and like Chris and I were trying to explain to Carlisle like I don't know much. I'm kind of ignorant when it comes to religion and stuff. I just know that organized religion just to me, it's like a net negative for the world, is what Chris is kind of trying to explain, Like, yes, these religions all do great things for people, but like by and large, it's caused

Even if it's fifty points zero.

Zero zero zero one percent bad, then it's not good because it's more bad.

There's no there's no organization responsible for more death than religion, right exactly.

So when Carlisle was saying, like, I'm a Christian and I'm sorry she's not here to defend herself. And I love you, Carlos so much, and I hope you got the last I hope you heard the last episode where I told you how much I loved you at.

The end and how when she's in heaven and you're she.

Will she Sadden.

When we first met, she was like I told her I was godless because I used to be.

And she was like, oh no, this is going to be a thing in our relationship.

Like she was like, oh no no, And I was like, I would never that would never be a thing for me in a relationship. I would never not be friends with someone because they I might go, if you know, if you vote a certain way or something, I just might go, you can do that.

But like I don't.

I don't think you're very smart, and so I don't like hang out with people who aren't smart like I might. But I wouldn't ever deny someone she's she grew up Christian. I'm never gonna be like, that's stupid that you grew up Christian, Like who cares, like that's what you grew up.

But to identify as a Christian animal, I said.

Oh, babe about it? Does she like, I mean, like this is the thing? She said, No, I believe in God. And I go, do you believe in Christ? And she's like, I believe it was a person? And I go, well, then we both agree in the same thing. I believe Jesus Christ was a person, and I also believe in a higher power. That doesn't make me a Christian. And so when you say you're a Christian, it really comes with to me as someone who might be ignorant and might be too judgmental, and might not be well read.

But that's why I was trying to find out what was that. Besides, I believe in God because every then you should be.

Then you're Buddhist, then you're then you're I guess you guys don't believe?

Do you have a god?

Jewish people, I believe in God.

It's Yahweh that doesn't have a god.

There is the soups mostly that brings me the most comfort.

Well, that's the thing is she was like.

Religion the Jewish soup.

I'm not gonna like it. I'm gonna say like it. If it's not Jewish, that's dad at a deli.

I don't know.

I'm not Gonnas. You can't say Jews. It's the new thing, like, I just don't.

I think I heard Michael ram point No no, no, no, you're learning, I think, And I'm as a non Jewish person. I think, I think John Jewish people have to be done with the word j e w s.

It's not ours. How do you guys feel?

What do you think?

It depends on the context, like anything.

Yeah, but it just like it gives you know what it does. I understand the context and some people use it the correct way, but it gives people who are using it, like in a derogatory way, the excuse to use it.

No, Luis, you have that great joke about Jews where he says Jews is the only derogatory term that is the same as the regular term.

Exactly.

All you have to do is say you could say, oh he's a Jew, he's a Jew, it's fine, or you could say he's a Jew, and all it is you with a little stank.

Why I think I don't like it.

You can't win, Nikki, we can't. We have to keep the word as a positive thing.

Yeah, that's a good point, but that's how it keeps it a positive thing, is like you're not you're making it so they can't say it. So only people that say it positively are saying it.

But but then it's like a negative thing about Jews because then we're like you know, like sensory people or like telling them how to speak or whatever.

You know.

But black people have a word that only they can say. How about you guys get one, you know, like they took it like.

Off the rails today.

I'm just saying, straight white man, I do.

I do feel bad that there's not enough words that I can only say and no other races and religions can so I do. I would love that there needs to be a word. I think to just level the playing field, there should be a word that only straight white males can say, the R.

That word is the R word. I know.

What you can't say is two words. I'm I'm sorry those words you are.

Not allowed to say as a straight white male ever. Don't even try. Not that you would, but you're not. I'm just kidding. I'm just saying that straight white men apologize. Yeah, I'm also rails you guys, keep up, pitch. Okay, we have to wrap and go to break, so we'll be back with more after this. Okay.

I want to say that I was kidding about the straight white male thing you were. Some people might take that the wrong way and say Brian's a racist piece of ship.

I mean I say stuff, I'm already worried about the thing, but I will say that. Michael Rappaport said it's Jewish people to people who aren't Jewish. No more Jews from people who aren't Jewish people, Okay, And I liked that. I was like yes, because I feel like it gives people who are saying it the wrong way a license to when it's like, well, this progressive person said it, thout this person, you know, this person who I know is not an anti Semite said it, so I can say it.

But it's like, yeah, with you, it's just I.

Know you're saying it anyway. If they hate Jews, they're going to say it anywa, they're going.

To say to identify who hates you.

Yeah.

That's maybe what I want, is like it's I want us all to agree, like, hey, we're not going to do this anymore. So when people do, you're like, a ha, I know your true feelings even though you mask it.

I see you don't have You don't hear the actual derogatory for jew very very often these days.

I know the one for isn't it just like a female though? That's the one I know.

The K word, yeah, is that for Is that for a female? I always picture that being a female.

I don't know. That's just true. Don't d y k is?

I have no idea.

D y k e rhymes yea k y k.

He's never heard that.

I don't know. Really, you don't hear it these days?

Good good, that's great.

I don't know where I even know what talking. Well.

I know that there was a derogatory term that I well, I just spelled it for you. So say that in your head, and that's the word. Don't say y k e.

Just say the word in your head.

It's pronounced like I'm like bike, but with the other words letter.

I mean, I don't know how.

No, no, I got I got it.

Okay, you've never heard that word? Okay, I have heard that word, but I didn't. I never even thought it to be Jewish. Oh really, what did you have described? I have no idea. I'm honest to god, I don't know what. I've heard that word, but I don't know.

Oh.

Interesting, Well, I know there was a word that you taught me that was derogatory that I didn't know, and you didn't teach me in the way that you think you're getting nervous, but don't be nervous. It was after high school one day and Taylor used to call me nick the and then spry, and she would just say that because it was just a thing that rhymed with.

Nick nick right.

Nick the, and we would she would always say it was my nickname. And then one day she said it in front of you, and you go, what are you saying? You do not say that word. That is a terrible word, Like you got to learn something. Sometimes you just stump on a racial slur and it feels real good in your mouth because it's clicky, it has like some glottal sounds that really feel like it's it's I mean, that word is kind of like peppy.

Yeah, if you don't know what it means.

I remember, like, yeah, when I learned the word fuck. I was at my friend Mike Vurro's house and his uncle was there and he was so wasted, and he when we were just eating cake at the kitchen table. I don't know why they had cake, not important, but the uncle kept going, what the fuck's your problem is groaning?

What the fuck's your problem? And then how old were you six?

To you?

He was, I think you were laughing at him because he was groaning. He was going eating the cake and fuck were laughing and what the fuck's your problem? And then the scars you. And then Mike Burrow's mom came in and said, Larry, stop cursing Larry.

And he goes, I didn't do shit.

So I mean, god, you remember that so well?

That's because yeah, I mean yeah, I knew ship.

Already traumatized by uncle what's his name.

Well, drunk uncle.

We were on the way to Spokane from LA and on their flight there was a family with young kids, and then there were these two men yelling back and forth at each other like.

Yeah, let's fucking go, We're gonna fucking do it this weekend, just fucking fucking rude.

And I was like, what the And I was say seconds, I was turning around to confront the guy because I was just I was ready because everyone, I'm not afraid to these people. It was a small plane, and I was gonna say, hey, buddy, these are their kids right literally right here he was with the group that he was it was his kids.

I'm on his side.

Yeah, I mean, I feel like I was kind of slightly annoyed by that.

I don't know.

I mean, Brian, you were on this plane. How could you ever be on that family side? I was saying that the whole family where you want if this plane crashes, it'll be good net good for the world.

Talk about a net good.

I was like, I would take this home if these people would be eliminated, because they're only going they're obnoxious. They're only then they have a huge family, they're only making more obnoxious.

Yes, whole time, so you want.

I didn't want it to, but I go it would make sense to me. If God just goes no, we're gonna lose a couple of good ways.

Yes, yeah, I know. That whole family kind of like owned the plane.

It was weird.

There were so many of them and they were standing walking up and down the aisles the whole time, always going, like getting up from their seat to go talk to someone three rows in front of this people.

I didn't get to see it happening. I could just hear it.

It was of those planes where I couldn't listen to a podcast because it was so loud. I just had to blast my airplane.

And Chris was sitting next to one of them. He was he was there's two seats in a in a row, and he was next to one of them. He was window in Seattle.

Uh.

Their special was taped at the Moor Theater across the street from the More Theater. You took a picture in front of it. There is a cool well. It's a k o h.

Oh yeah k u h luk, and it's it's cute, it's cool.

I think it's cool because it's like it says underneath it definition German cool meaning.

Somebody posted that for your ben.

No no, no, no no. It's a store. It's called k u h l It's a store called.

By the More Theater.

And then the theater is a printing place called Swiftly Printing.

Wait a minute, that is a second of anything else.

It's not God. And then Nicky's friend from Iceland showed up.

Yeah, that well, I will say in the morning.

I was going to go take a picture at the Marquee with all my friends the next morning, after we got Starbucks and then they were leaving for the airport, so I go, let's go get a quick picture. And so we were walking up there and then I saw there was a Seahawks game happening, and there was a father and a son, and then the son's friend, I'm guessing was the the dynamic there. And they were walking next to us and the son was like, oh, Nicky Glazer, Oh yeah, she's got really nice she's got a lot

Her, Oh she's kind of saving, that she's ugly or something like.

I just was, even though Gared, who would have said that were so nice.

Was like, I'm here, stop talking.

I can't like I wanted to like just end on good. And they were so excited and they were like and we were like can you take our picture? And they're like, well, can you take our picture? They were so excited. And I'll say this another special thing in Spokane. I just

Okay, and there's a.

Really famous high school like scene where the Marching Band and like Heath Ledger sings I.

Love You Baby, and he.

Like walks up and down the bleachers and it's like this big moment in the movie. And I knew that the school it's a really cool looking like track and field area.

I knew that school was there.

It's very iconic, and so I went and ran over to it when I was in Spokane years ago. And while I was there, there was these other girls that were there that clearly are there to see it too, but we were at this weird place that no, it's not like a lot of people go there.

But I was like, are you here for ten Things I Hate about you? And they were like yes, and I was like, oh my god. And so I was like, I'm actually performing this weekend and they were like, oh my god, yes, we'd love to come to.

So they came to a show that weekend, and then they've come to two subsequent shows.

And I got to see them in Spokane the.

Other night, and the little daughter was like, I loved your suicide stuff and I was like, oh, thank you, and she was like, I actually tried to kill myself last year. And her mom's like, yeah, she tried to kill herself and I was like, oh my god, oh no, and she was like it didn't work. But and I was like, please don't do it again.

Please.

I was holding her face like no, don't you ever do that to me again. And but they were just they were just like so oh, she goes. It was actually the suicide aiversary was two days ago. It was like her two years su aversary.

They called it.

They had some name for it because they were like, we have to make fun of that. It was so great because I was like, yeah, you gotta laugh about it. That's why they liked my stuff about it, because they were like, it's so sad. Otherwise you got a joke about it. And so I just loved the lightness of which she was like, yeah, I tried to kill myself, like it was. It was nice in a way.

And then was in tune with it too.

The mother was like team suicide, like they were like raw ros sis, boombash, She's alive, Like isn't it crazy. Yeah.

They were like totally cool about it and best friends and had such a good time.

And my show was so sweet. So shout out to them.

I forget your names, but I love you and I promise you tickets to my shows forever and ever. We'll be back with more show after this final thought, Mom, thanks for stopping by.

Last night. We went to dinner. It was so fun.

Yeah, it really was, even though we had to wait for dinner. I know that was It's the Glasier way. Yeah, keep being good. Yeah, Dad liked the dinner.

I mean there were a couple of It was so good, Barcelona and Saint Louis. Yeah, we did not get a deal, so I'm not being paid.

Yeah, you really did not.

We thought you were going to get something out of that, but yeah, because you got to die.

We know the chef there.

We know the owner.

The owner and he like came to our table and sat down and I was like, I'm getting the bill and they're like, well, you're going to get a discount and I was like I don't need one, but like okay, and they're like, don't worry, he's gonna take care of And there was no taking care of. But I don't care because I didn't tend for that and I like paying full price for things like but it was so it was one of the best meals I've had in so awesome.

Right, Yeah, I loved it. I was hoping you love it.

No, Dad was like, these clams, Why would you serve these clams without your bread?

What can we do this?

This is my dad asking for bread. Oh God, the guy comes over, give him a break. Can we get some bread? Oh yeah, I'll have some bread. I mean this dish, like you wouldn't serve bread with this dish? Oh yeah, I don't like it does usually so this I mean I did order bread.

I think I ordered like twenty minutes ago.

You need your dad a food show on the Food Network because he's working for mudgeon All.

They don't have that angle.

He's kind of that's a really good point. My mom should do a hotel show where it's look at this and we should go to the restaurant.

And then my dad did just go like, I don't know. I'm just I'm not gonna I'm excited about it.

When it's yeah, two sprigs, let us on this end.

I just I don't know it's good.

Given anymore, lettuce.

Whatever?

For whatever, dude, I.

Feel bad talking about him. We love you.

No, this is there's a pay well behind this episode. I'll never hear it. Just kidding, there's not he's gonna hear it. We do love you.

I will definitely because he was kind of in a bad mood today.

So but I'm totally the same as my dad, Like I'm I find myself turning into him when I go like, well that's what I wanted to, like muttering things under my breath a little bit like I'm being a brat, being a widow baby.

Well, I don't see it.

Oh, I can be such a whirky.

I see you correct your Dan when he's being a baby, though you catch.

Him, I don't. I don't get away with.

Must be exhausting to be around me because I don't let either of you get away with your behaviors. Like do you ever try to give marriage counseling to your parents?

Brian?

Well, okay, so that's you didn't do a good job.

No, but I do.

I do point out my dad's behaviors to him all the time, which I'm sure, but his current partner Vicky also does it, so I think it's pretty much relentless for him.

Yeah, it's it sucks to be told the truth.

But I will I constantly quote this moment because I've been talking in therapy about how I can be a bitch and like a know it all and things like that, and in couples therapy because listen, I can bet I went off the rails today on this podcast. I got a little bit of a Kia, A know it all. That's what I call myself when I'm being like that. I'm a Kia right now. But I was thinking about, how, well,

Yeah, it's a hard one.

It's almost impossible. But I just get it, and it's so mad when other people don't or whatever. And I think I'm superior because I get this thing that people don't, and I start getting an ego about it, but Lauren just goes you are such a bitch.

You just sometimes you act.

Like you just fucking know everything. You're so much better than anyone else because you're smart and you have it all figured out, and you're really condescending and you just like you just sometimes have And she said sometimes, which is a crucial thing. It doesn't mean I'm all the time. I think people start going giving you always. I remember

I know, but she's still it's not like she should do she's academic, academic.

I would like to be an academic too. I want to be things that I'm not. And I realized I'm not an academic. And I'm scared to go on Celebrity Jeopardy. I don't know if that's not for me, it's going to be it might be extremely embarrassing. And I was supposed to do it this season, but I was busy with f Boy and then the special, and I just couldn't imagine, like preparing.

For everyone prepares for Jeopardy. They go through there a.

That's scary thing. What if I don't prepare? Yous? Does Judaism have? And I go zero?

I really remember that some religion didn't have a god? Like it's not a god, it's like an idea. Is there any religion like that?

No? No? Is it?

What?

What don't you guys have that everyone else has? There's something that the Judaism religion is lacking.

That's it.

That's what I was thinking, because that's my God, that's your idol. Yeah, that's the fores kit is my is my savior, Lord and Savior.

Can you tell the story about when you were at the store and Chris or somebody, or you're at the hotel and Chris or someone heard people, Oh, this is a great story.

You know, the one from the elevator where you heard people.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I heard people talking about trying to get into the store.

Yes, okay, So Chris was downstairs trying to get a package for me or something. He's at the front desk and I'm upstairs like feverishly writing on my laptop trying to figure out what to do for my sets that I had six sets, and so I'm just like final hours like figuring it out. And then he comes up and he's like the funniest thing just happened. He was like he's kind of like on his phone like so, and I'm like, this is something I have to do,

Like you know.

I was just like and they thought it was a deep fake.

Oh my what?

And I was like, I would pick a much prettier picture my face to do a.

Deep fake on than me the way I looked when I shot that thing. And they wrote back and they were like all these young but they were like nineteen years old. They were in like twenty twenty two maybe college age. They drove down from Stanford and were their favorite commedians. They did say you're my favorite comedian female and.

I was like, I'll take it.

Yeah, that's cool.

Yeah, I won the Best act you know, it's like winning the Oscars for Best Actress.

Wow, you know by j Stanford boys.

Yes, yeah, they were so sad and I saw them at the show and it was that was a good set on, like the one that I had in front of Amanda.

Knox, I mean Clutes.

Wait no, no, not Amanda Knox.

I mad a Clutes.

She's from the Talk I thought her name was Oh Coons, but it was because I was confusing the Knox and the Koons and the Clutes. But yeah, what Then the other story was, Okay, we're the elevator at the hotel and on our way out, flying to Spokane early morning, and the night before I had done Greg Fitzsimmons.

I'm already laughing. I had done Greg fitz Simmons charity show. Is this charity called.

Best Buds Best Buddies, and it's like to get people with mental handicaps work like in the community and give them supports. So anyway, I was holding this tote that said Best Buddies, and Chris is just making morning talk and he's like, what was that charity?

Again?

Like you just we're in the elevator bank, waiting for the elevator on our floor. He's like, what's that charity? Gun?

I was like, oh, I don't I literally have no idea. It's Greg Fitzimmons friends, Like I don't know. They put them together, the baskets that they gave us because the money from the shit whatever, and I'm just like kind of delirious. And then this guy walks off to get an elevator too, and he goes, wait, what charity is that?

And I go, oh, it's just my friend's charity. I have no time for this guy.

I don't I already don't have to time for Chris's question because I had no information for him about the charity. I've since looked into it to tap an answer. And this guy goes, what charity And I go, I literally don't know. It's just a friend's charity and it's just a tone bag from it. And he goes, oh, okay, that's crazy. I just donated to do a charity this morning.

That's crazy.

I couldn't process what was happening.

It was as if this man had never had just found out about charities this morning. I just maybe it was yesterday. He said. I just, oh my god, that's so crazy. I just donated to charity yesterday.

And it was like the way a guy would pick up like a middle school girl, that's like you, you would you give to charities like like that.

We might not know what that. That might sound like you're rich or something.

Is that a person?

He didn't say how much. He wasn't like I donated like there was nothing that It wasn't like, oh, a similar charity. It was just charities.

What a coincidence?

What a.

He just wanted to brag about.

And it wasn't that he was trying to pick me up and be like no, even that would be so embarrassing because Chris was right there too, So he was just bragging to a couple about how he had donated.

He's like, oh my god, that's crazy.

Just don't need to do a charity. I'm just like it was as if saying like I just breathe, it's an air too.

That's so crazy. I carry things in bags all the time.

Oh my god, on his elevator bag too. That's it was even worse than that. It was just the dumbest thing to be like, wait, what'd you go? Oh my god, what's that?

Oh my god. I know he's a good Yeah, he's a good person.

That he wanted you to ask him about the charity because it was.

Why no one that's no one involved with something huge would be that stupid. I mean, like, that's my problem. Whatever this guy is involved in.

He is the biggest idiot I've ever I I would have given anything to follow him throughout his day. I would probably pay a scene amount of like a amount of money that would change people's lives to just know what that guy was up to the red like a little camera on him and the things he would say. Because then we got into the car and Chris and I just can't stop talking about him, like what is this guy doing?

Who says this?

Why didn't we follow up? Why didn't we ask more questions? Like we were both just stunned. We both looked each other in the elevator like, I never I'm very If you know anything about me, it's that if I see something weird, if there's like a little person or someone like disfigured or something, and like people you normally would

What are you talking about here?

Would be the funniest thing if you would have said you are so amazing. I would love to just follow you around.

Oh okay, this is what the guy want.

This is unbelievable.

Honestly, this guy would be amazing, amazing round show.

And so then we get in the car and I go, all I know is that his initials were aasy because that's what his loafers said. Okay, his like velvet loafers had this A on one and Z on the other. And Chris goes, oh, you sweet thing, those were the that's the hotel we're staying at. Those like the initials

But you know, he's got a fascinating life going on.

Just the things he says to people all day.

I just can't.

Like over here. I want to be next to I want to play so bad, but I don't want to be in the conversation.

I just want to eaves.

Yeah.

No, that's why I did not continue it in the elevator, because I wanted to be away from it.

But I want to just observe.

Okay, we got to go. Speaking of eves and speaking.

Of Eve's, oh great transition.
