Speaker 1: Bobby jay Cox is the funniest and I would feel
Speaker 1: a little tinge of jealousy. You know that you're taking
Speaker 1: something from me. Um liked you more than he liked me,

Speaker 1: be like, that's a cool stage name. I'm like, you
Speaker 1: thought that's what I picked for my stage name. Do
Speaker 1: they have big plans for you? They did not. They
Speaker 1: wanted me to do pretty much anything else, but this,
Speaker 1: but now, yeah, anytime I get like something like good
Speaker 1: when I'm like I'm going on the road with Nikki,
Speaker 1: or like whenever I first started, that was when they
Speaker 1: were like, okay, that's what always happened. Yeah, it takes
Speaker 1: a long time for them, like for them to understand.
Speaker 1: And now my mom just when she wants talk about
Speaker 1: stand up, she was like, Bobby, I've been watching more

Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I grew it out during COVID and I
Speaker 1: just can't. I don't want to cut it. And people
Speaker 1: are not nice about it. People like because I was
Speaker 1: like I would hand out like a business card. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'll like show them a picture I had before,
Speaker 1: like at a club, they'll put up my old photo
Speaker 1: and people will look at that and they'll be like,
Speaker 1: you look like a model here, and I go thanks.
Speaker 1: They go no, no, no, not, but there you look
Speaker 1: like a model, Like, don't take it now I'm not
Speaker 1: giving you now he would people do that? Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think I look better with short hair, but I feel
Speaker 1: better with long hair, Like I like, I like the
Speaker 1: feeling of it, Like it's just interesting. Usually those two
Speaker 1: kind of go together, the way you look and the
Speaker 1: way you feel. We are so are so tied together
Speaker 1: in our society. But not for this girl. Um, you
Speaker 1: do have beautiful hair. It's almost like you have the
Speaker 1: Rachel going on. There's like intentional like layers there. I mean,
Speaker 1: like his hair is almost like yeah, I mean you know,
Speaker 1: he's got more hair than I do. Here's the problem.
Speaker 1: I had my ex cut my hair and so she
Speaker 1: actually left. She tried to do framing around my face.
Speaker 1: So when I put up in a ponytail, I look
Speaker 1: like like just like any woman going on a job,
Speaker 1: like I have like these two like little things that
Speaker 1: got like framing look real cute. After the breakup, I
Speaker 1: just read something recently that was like, don't take cut
Speaker 1: don't take good pictures of your boyfriend girls, because he's
Speaker 1: going to use those on his tender profile at six spots.
Speaker 1: I My boyfriend would never do that to me. He's
Speaker 1: he's almost too conscious conscious of like doing anything like
Speaker 1: he's almost We've been together often on for nine years
Speaker 1: and he's still like paying respect to his exes before
Speaker 1: me of like, I don't want to post too much,
Speaker 1: like I just want to make sure they're okay. I'm like,
Speaker 1: they have kids and families. You can post about me now.
Speaker 1: I love Chris. I love seeing how sweetie is. I
Speaker 1: love seeing him on the podcast with you. He'll just
Speaker 1: see sitting there and be like, like how he talks
Speaker 1: to you? You have like the guy. Yes, I mean
Speaker 1: I feel that way too, but that's really nice. Yes,
Speaker 1: people notice it, and he's he always makes everyone else
Speaker 1: Like when I show up and see you guys, he
Speaker 1: always makes me feel included. Like Chris, he's a very
Speaker 1: sweet person. There's something in that. The Convi family, they're
Speaker 1: all the sweethearts. Yeah, they're all really nice. And I
Speaker 1: do like that about him so much, where he makes
Speaker 1: everyone feel good. He's not like he's no here too
Speaker 1: cool for literally anyone. If whatever is, it's just because
Speaker 1: it's tired or something. What was it like spending Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: with them with his family? Um, Well, we didn't spend
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving the meal together, but he did come to um.
Speaker 1: See he went to the parade, like he went to
Speaker 1: see me saying, like we we spent the night. I
Speaker 1: haven't like been around him at all because he's been
Speaker 1: working on Beauty and the Beast which airs December fifteen.
Speaker 1: Definitely checked that out on ABC UM and so I
Speaker 1: haven't seen him at all. But he we spent Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: Eves together, remember you were there to mom. So his
Speaker 1: family does this thing at a country club where they
Speaker 1: rent out a uh, what is it called paddle paddle
Speaker 1: tennis court, which is like outdoor paddle tennis, and then
Speaker 1: there's like a little hut where you have all this
Speaker 1: like they had catered with all this food, and then
Speaker 1: they had like friends of the family and their family there.
Speaker 1: And it was nice because I go to that every
Speaker 1: single year. They do it every year before Thanksgiving night before,
Speaker 1: but I've never gotten bring my family before. It was
Speaker 1: really fun to bring my family into this and merge
Speaker 1: the families because my family is a little bit more
Speaker 1: out there than the conv's a little bit more We
Speaker 1: just like talk about we say things sometimes that people
Speaker 1: kind of look at us and go, oh, that was
Speaker 1: the story was not really appropriate for the setting, you know,
Speaker 1: Like we just talked about what they talk about. I
Speaker 1: think the US, I think they that would be a
Speaker 1: polite way of saying it. We're just a little bit sillier,
Speaker 1: but I think we bring a lot of fun to
Speaker 1: it. It It was so fun. I mean it was you
Speaker 1: sang a song probably seven different times to sue the baby,
Speaker 1: so tim my mom has a secret song that she sings,
Speaker 1: and the baby just is hypnotized that it was insane.
Speaker 1: Yea on my story. I know you don't look at
Speaker 1: my instagrams. I can't watch everywhere on them most of
Speaker 1: the time, and I can't see you can't see every
Speaker 1: literally you are Pet's true behind Brian glasses to do it.
Speaker 1: But you you played paddle tennis. You was soothed this
Speaker 1: baby with a song that's called I Am a Little
Speaker 1: Dutch Girl, My Home is far Away. And then we
Speaker 1: got into like the etymology of it, and we're like,
Speaker 1: where does this song come from? And it was my
Speaker 1: grandmother's song passed down and we sang it over and over,
Speaker 1: and then this other little girl caught onto it and
Speaker 1: was like, I really like it. She was like four,
Speaker 1: and she was like, I love that song. And then
Speaker 1: I had to sing it for her. A bunch of times,
Speaker 1: and it was torturous for people to listen to. But
Speaker 1: then we also we ate good food. We played paddle tennis.
Speaker 1: My mom ran into a fence. I'm very competitive. Yeah,
Speaker 1: thank god you were out there like holding down the
Speaker 1: court literally for me because I played once and I
Speaker 1: was like, that's enough, right, They're like, we're going to
Speaker 1: play again, and I'm like, no, I did once. Isn't
Speaker 1: are too proud that I really good? Actually, you kept
Speaker 1: saying that every time I would do anything. Every hit
Speaker 1: she did, I go, oh my god, you are good.
Speaker 1: And it would like accidentally hit my racket. When I
Speaker 1: would be like looking at something, like the ball would
Speaker 1: accidentally hit my that's a blessing and the skill to
Speaker 1: have that ball comes. But it became like it was
Speaker 1: like I was a child, you know. It was like, wow,
Speaker 1: you're kind of and then your dad's like, you're so
Speaker 1: beautiful when you pad, you're beautiful. It was hey babe.
Speaker 1: Exactly one time we called that and he said, hey babe.
Speaker 1: And it's been a long running joke. He's allowed to
Speaker 1: say hey babe. Disn's it just Andrew just teased me
Speaker 1: for it just sounded a little bit too um like
Speaker 1: he was my boyfriend. Even though I've been trying to
Speaker 1: get Chris to say babe, he doesn't even years Yeah,
Speaker 1: he does call he won't call me babe? Does he
Speaker 1: not say I actually called my roommate she's I called
Speaker 1: her baby? I'm like, I'm so like, I feel like
Speaker 1: it's a term of phrase that comes out my girlfriends
Speaker 1: and if you were on a girlfriend level with your friend,
Speaker 1: babe is fine. And I like, I'll say it sometimes wherever.
Speaker 1: Why won't he say? Does he think it's like weird?
Speaker 1: I think he's just yeah, I don't know that the reason,
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's respecting were calling her a pig. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's not like like that baby or
Speaker 1: any babe. Yeah, I think it's animal cruelty to uh,
Speaker 1: what's the word for when you take over some things?
Speaker 1: What do they call it? When you wear like dreadlocks
Speaker 1: as a white person appropriating pig culture? So that's what
Speaker 1: that's why you won't call me babe. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: I've never really gotten answer. I call him babe, but
Speaker 1: it will not it won't get rong. It's just too
Speaker 1: embarrassing to be like, hey, will you call me, babe.
Speaker 1: I think he had heard you said. You've said this
Speaker 1: already well loud and clear. Chris, if you're listening, would
Speaker 1: really like a babe. He doesn't listen to this show. No,
Speaker 1: he doesn't, and which makes me feel free, and also
Speaker 1: like I don't it's I don't know, I don't listen
Speaker 1: to this show. Don't make excuses. Are you kidding so
Speaker 1: I feel free? Or because you're just I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't expect you to. We used to do it four
Speaker 1: days a week. It's a lot to listen to it us. Also,
Speaker 1: it's all that I've been on it once called Andrew,
Speaker 1: but I've called Andrew babe a couple times because I'm
Speaker 1: just so used to calling my girlfriend's babe that you know,
Speaker 1: it's just to anyone, I feel that platonic I say babe,
Speaker 1: and so it was like it just came out. But
Speaker 1: it's so weird. It is feels weird to call a
Speaker 1: guy that because you're like, that's romantic. Why do I
Speaker 1: still tell I do tell my guy friends that I
Speaker 1: love them. When I got the phone, I think it
Speaker 1: infuriates heard that was my little brother. I mean, obviously
Speaker 1: I love my little brother. I always tell all my friends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just for right now, I need to talk to Ed.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: I think I like using those terms of endearment, being
Speaker 1: like hey, babe or or something, or being like I
Speaker 1: love you. My guy friends would be like okay and
Speaker 1: then you get off the phone. But I'm like, who knows,
Speaker 1: like love those ttoks of guys calling their dads and
Speaker 1: just being like I supposed to say I love you
Speaker 1: and just like the dad being like everything accident. It's
Speaker 1: so great. Men like sharing their feelings more, but it
Speaker 1: is weird with like female and male friendships. There's just
Speaker 1: like certain things you can't do that you would do
Speaker 1: with your girlfriends and and vice versa. Like it just
Speaker 1: it is going to be different unless you're both gay,
Speaker 1: I guess. But I don't think lesbians and gay men
Speaker 1: really hang out that much. I would think they would, yeah,
Speaker 1: you would think, yeah, but they have like they have
Speaker 1: the common But yeah, it's a stereotype for sure that
Speaker 1: gay men and lesbians don't get along. But I think
Speaker 1: the club isn't it mixed? I've been to like one
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis. There was one I went to where it
Speaker 1: was like totally like it was usually it's more like
Speaker 1: male or female. And then they also hate when like
Speaker 1: straight people like what, we're just trying not to go
Speaker 1: to bars where they fight all the time. Like this
Speaker 1: is like any time we go to a city, I'm like,
Speaker 1: where's the gay bar? And they're like, oh, I'm like no,
Speaker 1: I just like to not have guys getting bump into me,
Speaker 1: like you're talking to my girl, like I'm just standing here,
Speaker 1: like it happens. That happened a lot, not like not
Speaker 1: all the time, but get energy. Yeah. Yeah, they're like
Speaker 1: they think they're like, hey that girls excuse me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's interesting, Like even think about that and navigate like
Speaker 1: when I go places I'm not I do hate fighting
Speaker 1: and I hate when something would break out at a bar,
Speaker 1: but I don't go to bars that often anymore. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess thinking just avoiding conflict because you get pulled
Speaker 1: into that stuff quickly. It's yeah, and it sucks. And
Speaker 1: when once a guy like decides he's in that realm,
Speaker 1: that's like what's going to happen. It happens on Thanksgiving,
Speaker 1: happens all the time. Don't you go out the night
Speaker 1: before Thanksgiving? I did? I did go out and just
Speaker 1: like hang out for like a little bit with some
Speaker 1: friends and stuff like that. What's it called again, It's
Speaker 1: like Skanksgiving, and they called it in St. Louis. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that's acceptable. Everywhere. I went into the
Speaker 1: radio station on Wednesday, Everyone's like Skanksgiving, and I was like,
Speaker 1: this is the first I've heard that term. I don't know,
Speaker 1: never never, Well, now you have. So it's the night
Speaker 1: before Thanksgiving where everyone gets roundy. I get it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the biggest party night of the year. Yes, that's right.
Speaker 1: Well I did not party that hard. So yeah, it
Speaker 1: was nice to see Chris that night, but then we
Speaker 1: um the next He spent the night that night, and
Speaker 1: then the next morning I had to wake up at
Speaker 1: like five five to go do the parade, and I
Speaker 1: had my um Mike check at seven thirties, so I
Speaker 1: was like up like curling my hair and putting on
Speaker 1: like fake eyelashes at like six of the morning on Thursday.
Speaker 1: It was just like a lot and then UM drove
Speaker 1: down there, drove down there, and the rain it was
Speaker 1: fucking pouring down rain right before we started, and then
Speaker 1: it's let up for the entire parade, and then as
Speaker 1: sous parade was over, started spitting again. It was so
Speaker 1: it was a miracle. But Chris came down. So I
Speaker 1: was there down there from like you know, seven thirty
Speaker 1: doing the mic check until you know, nine oh five
Speaker 1: when the parade, I guess officially started. But um just
Speaker 1: walking around kind of by myself, like singing to myself.
Speaker 1: I was walking by the ferris wheel down there by
Speaker 1: Union Station, and I was just walking around just like
Speaker 1: singing at the top of my lungs, like doing vocal
Speaker 1: warm ups and looking like a real fool. And people
Speaker 1: kept coming up to me being like, do you need anything,
Speaker 1: and I'm just like talking to me. I'm literally going,
Speaker 1: WHOA talk to you right now? If I'm doing that
Speaker 1: in the corner, like you think, I'm like at a
Speaker 1: party and no one's talking to me or something and
Speaker 1: I'm feeling sad. Well, no, it was anyway, it was.
Speaker 1: It was. Yeah. I was nervous as fuck, dude. I
Speaker 1: was so nervous. Well not nervous, because here's the thing
Speaker 1: about I realized, and I've talked about this before. The
Speaker 1: only thing that I do is I sign up for things.
Speaker 1: I say I'm going to do, and then I have
Speaker 1: to do it. And then if you want to push
Speaker 1: yourself to do things that are out of your comfort zone,
Speaker 1: sign up for something far away that you can convince
Speaker 1: yourself you'll be good enough. When the time comes, you
Speaker 1: won't be because you're not going to do the preparation
Speaker 1: you need to do the preparation that is in your mind.
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, I have so much time, You're not
Speaker 1: gonna do it. You won't be ready, you'll want to
Speaker 1: cancel the day before, which I wanted to cancel up
Speaker 1: and do a week before, and then I went to
Speaker 1: a voice lesson. I was like, oh, I kind of
Speaker 1: got this, and then I went to a voiceless in
Speaker 1: the day before. On Wednesday before I went to the
Speaker 1: racket thing, and I was like this is bad, Like
Speaker 1: I'm bad, Like I haven't saying for week I was
Speaker 1: supposed to be paraded to think I didn't and I
Speaker 1: was like, I they need to find someone. They can
Speaker 1: find someone you think about. I feel like I feel
Speaker 1: like I've said this because I've also been trying to
Speaker 1: sing and play music on stage like I did it.
Speaker 1: I ended a show in a theater and I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play a song even though no one wants this,
Speaker 1: and just to do the same thing. I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna sign up for it. But I get I would
Speaker 1: be way less nervous if I was like, you're going
Speaker 1: to go in that room in front of so many
Speaker 1: people in bomb doing stand up. That makes me less
Speaker 1: nervous than singing in front of people. Get more nervous. Okay,
Speaker 1: well that's not so I got. I get nervous about
Speaker 1: singing because I felt like, like I said when I
Speaker 1: when I was on the Mass Singer and we'll get
Speaker 1: to that in a second, I kind of said that
Speaker 1: it was great because I did it all the everything
Speaker 1: about myself that was like, you can't do this. You're
Speaker 1: a comedian, you're Nicky Glazer, you're thirty eight, You're like,
Speaker 1: no one knows of you as a singer. No one
Speaker 1: you don't like if you take if you shed all
Speaker 1: that away and you put on a big snow snow
Speaker 1: person costs snowstorm costume, I could be anyone under there,
Speaker 1: and so then I can convince myself this is fine
Speaker 1: and that I should be doing this. I got asked
Speaker 1: to do the show the ruled the show that your
Speaker 1: celebrity that's supposed to be singing, So everything's like I
Speaker 1: have to It's like my joke about bondage. I like
Speaker 1: bondage because it forces you to do the thing that
Speaker 1: you want to do anyway, which is be lazy. Like
Speaker 1: it's force was forcing me to sing like this show,
Speaker 1: it's like, well, I got to do it. That's the
Speaker 1: rules of the show. But me at me being asked
Speaker 1: to sing the national anthem, I didn't ask to sing.
Speaker 1: I did ask to sing it at the Cardinals game
Speaker 1: when I did the first perch and pitch, but they
Speaker 1: didn't let me. So this time they did ask me.
Speaker 1: I didn't ask them, so I felt okay they asked me.
Speaker 1: I said yes, and then I'm like, you know, singing
Speaker 1: doesn't make me nervous. I like love doing it. I
Speaker 1: don't ever get nervous while I'm performing, But leading up
Speaker 1: to it, I was just like it was just all
Speaker 1: the thoughts of this is ridiculous. People at home, we're
Speaker 1: going to be like, why didn't they get someone from
Speaker 1: like the gospel choir, like down the street, Like there's
Speaker 1: a thousand people within a quarter mile of her right
Speaker 1: now that could sing better than her. Why are we
Speaker 1: listening to this? Well, the truth is because I'm a comedian.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of famous, and and they like, that's nice
Speaker 1: to be honest that afterwards you're just like it's I
Speaker 1: had You're like it was solid like that, no way
Speaker 1: that anyone would say that it was, but for a comedian,
Speaker 1: it was an a you know, like if you if
Speaker 1: you consider the variables, it was an a for me. Um,
Speaker 1: And it wasn't as good as I've done in a
Speaker 1: private room with like coaching and when I'm relaxed. But
Speaker 1: standing in the middle of the street with my family
Speaker 1: just like literally away from me and then a big
Speaker 1: camera on a jib like you know, following me, That's
Speaker 1: the mess I could do. And so afterwards I was
Speaker 1: just like, oh good, it's over, and then I'm good
Speaker 1: to get my mom was like crying. I was sobbing.
Speaker 1: I couldn't stop the tears coming out of my eyes.
Speaker 1: I'm like, because you love America, Like it was so emotional.
Speaker 1: I just couldn't cry when I did like plays in
Speaker 1: high school, like no, I was always so excited and
Speaker 1: but I never cried. That was just this big relief
Speaker 1: or something. It was really, yeah, it was did you
Speaker 1: hear the word relief? It's like that she didn't bomb.
Speaker 1: Of course it makes the whole time. Remember last week
Speaker 1: I said, my mom is gonna be so worried the
Speaker 1: whole time about that was part of it, but it
Speaker 1: was you just said it. You said it was not
Speaker 1: a relief. You got it. You did it. You did it. Yes,
Speaker 1: and she wanted to see you do your best and
Speaker 1: she was very happy. My god, I thought you were fabulous. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: it was so nice. It was so nice. But I
Speaker 1: could tell that you were you were. I could tell
Speaker 1: Lauren and you were both like are you Like you're
Speaker 1: just gonna go do this? Like it's so weird, Like
Speaker 1: they're like thirty seconds and you guys are just like
Speaker 1: is this really happening? Like it was weird. Of like
Speaker 1: why it was amazing. I think it would air on TV.
Speaker 1: I knew it had so important. You're the grand I've
Speaker 1: never cared about the Grand Marshal. I never you just
Speaker 1: that person that comes find a like a there's actually
Speaker 1: a Grand Marshal. I met him and I'm the honorary
Speaker 1: Grand Marshal. So the Grand Marshal is actually a thing
Speaker 1: that he what do you do when he goes. I
Speaker 1: just go to meetings all the time, and I'm like, okay, well,
Speaker 1: thank you for your service, like he sings to everybody everything.
Speaker 1: The role of the Grand Marshal to sing. I think
Speaker 1: they just gave me that. But right the Grand Marshal,
Speaker 1: it's just to go to meetings and just to go
Speaker 1: to things and be likedys got to be in charge
Speaker 1: what they do actually within the government system. But with parades,
Speaker 1: you just sit in the back of a car like
Speaker 1: Kennedy before things went wrong and you wave to people.
Speaker 1: And I got to sit with Chris and just like
Speaker 1: waved and it was just like a what is it
Speaker 1: a third of a mile? No, it's two miles. That
Speaker 1: was two miles. You didn't go two miles, but the
Speaker 1: whole parade is two miles. You dipped out, dip out,
Speaker 1: dipped out, make a left up here on arsenal, you
Speaker 1: dipped Why did I did think? As you were going
Speaker 1: to be interviewed up in that? Then I went and
Speaker 1: sat for the interview and waited an hour and was
Speaker 1: not finished by the time. Well you know what has
Speaker 1: finished this segment. We got to go to commercial. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back with more after this. All right, we're back. Um,
Speaker 1: So we talked about the parade, anything other things we
Speaker 1: want to say about that. Oh, I did see someone
Speaker 1: at the parade that I knew from high school. Alex
Speaker 1: Schwartz shout out to him. Um, all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I just heard like NICKI and like, I turned and
Speaker 1: I was he sounded much more masculine than that. But
Speaker 1: I turned and it was Alex, and I was like, Alex.
Speaker 1: It was this guy that I like knew very well
Speaker 1: in high school. We called him Bona for some reason,
Speaker 1: not because he got bonus, but we were just like Bona.
Speaker 1: We just always just call him Bona. I don't know
Speaker 1: why he does. There's no reason he didn't get bonus.
Speaker 1: There was nothing about like. We just called him Bona
Speaker 1: b O n A H. And So I saw him
Speaker 1: and he looked amazing like he looked. I was so
Speaker 1: proud of myself to identify him because he looked exactly mean,
Speaker 1: this is twenty years after. He looked exactly the same.
Speaker 1: And I was like, Hex, are you going on Saturday?
Speaker 1: Because my twenty year reunion was Saturday and this was
Speaker 1: on you know, this is Thanksgiving Day? And I go
Speaker 1: are you going in Saturday And he's like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: He's there with his family, and I was like, you
Speaker 1: gotta go. You look great, you gotta show that off.
Speaker 1: Like I was like trying, because everyone doesn't want to
Speaker 1: go to the twenty year because they don't know look
Speaker 1: like they want to. They aren't in a place in
Speaker 1: life where they should be. Um. But and I'm shocked
Speaker 1: to say he did show up. I bullied him into
Speaker 1: going and he did go, and I'm so glad. And um,
Speaker 1: I think he's not going to go if you didn't
Speaker 1: say he said no, he was not going to go.
Speaker 1: Especially ten year, I think it's dumb. We have Facebook
Speaker 1: and stuff, But twenty year, I'm so excited to hear
Speaker 1: about did you see who? Like, did you see anybody
Speaker 1: that you were like? You are so made to me
Speaker 1: in high school? Like, did you see anybody that you
Speaker 1: like that you mean to high school? Um? You know.
Speaker 1: It was so when Louisa Lang wrote to me and
Speaker 1: was like, because she saw the she's a comedian in
Speaker 1: New York Younger comic really funny, and she saw me
Speaker 1: like post of me standing next to the twenty year
Speaker 1: reunion sign and she was like this is my life
Speaker 1: goal is to go back to my twenty year reunion
Speaker 1: as a famous comedian. She was like, this is the
Speaker 1: greatest thing I've ever seen, and I was like, it was,
Speaker 1: it was pretty great. There's you know, I really appreciate
Speaker 1: where I am in life, and like, I'm proud of
Speaker 1: myself and all my accomplishments. But there is something about
Speaker 1: that night that I wanted it not to be a thing,
Speaker 1: Like I wanted to not feel like she's here, or
Speaker 1: like I didn't I didn't want to talk about myself.
Speaker 1: I didn't want it to be a big deal. I
Speaker 1: just wanted to be normal. I love being on stage,
Speaker 1: but as soon as you're off, like you like talking people,
Speaker 1: but I don't want I would not want everyone to
Speaker 1: swarm around. And I don't know how it's just different.
Speaker 1: I totally feel the same way, and I used to
Speaker 1: always not think that way, because I used to like
Speaker 1: desperately want to be famous and have people go as
Speaker 1: like that was my dream in high school. And then
Speaker 1: when you get it, you can kind of tone it
Speaker 1: down like in the real world, like you know, I
Speaker 1: mean to turn on stage and then afterwards, like I
Speaker 1: don't have to people think that they don't know, because
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know either. But people are always like, do
Speaker 1: you must get recognized everyone, like it must be a
Speaker 1: lot for you because it's unfairly recognizable now, you know,
Speaker 1: Like I've done enough stuff where it it happens. And
Speaker 1: I think people recognize me more than I know that
Speaker 1: they do because they don't always say something. But I
Speaker 1: love that I do not walk around being like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, people know who I am, like I don't.
Speaker 1: Today I walked to start with, I spilled, I went,
Speaker 1: I went to starts to journal this morning. I got
Speaker 1: my Venti latte extra hot. I put it on the table,
Speaker 1: I sat down, my leg bumped it, and the entire
Speaker 1: thing Venti extra hot, the entire latte spilled on my lap.
Speaker 1: These pants too, they're in good shape. Even the flowers
Speaker 1: didn't get um coffee eat um scalded my legs. And
Speaker 1: I'm just like, and all these people are looking at me,
Speaker 1: and there was not one part of me that was
Speaker 1: like they're gonna think Nicky Glazer. Like it was just
Speaker 1: like I was just a dumb girl, you know, Like,
Speaker 1: and I think that I would have thought that at
Speaker 1: this level, I would always be thinking people know who
Speaker 1: I am, but I don't think about that at all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: apologies kept, and she goes, seriously, stop apologizing. It happens
Speaker 1: all the time, and I'm like, I know, but I'm
Speaker 1: apologizing for the people that don't apologize, Like this is
Speaker 1: really annoying and you are already busy enough here. And
Speaker 1: I have so much empathy for Starbucks workers because I
Speaker 1: read on you know, Reddit, like how poorly they're treated
Speaker 1: by customers. At one time, like brag, she goes, I
Speaker 1: was so mean to this late Starbucks and like, why
Speaker 1: is that cool? She's like because she was so rude.
Speaker 1: I go, I bet she wasn't. I bet she was?
Speaker 1: And some people, yeah, it's disgusting. It's is your aunt
Speaker 1: trouble kind of Yeah, she's a Karen for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she is definitely a Karen. Have you seen her lay
Speaker 1: it down? H Yeah, she lays it down in front
Speaker 1: of She yells at every She's like someone yells at everybody.
Speaker 1: And then once I turned thirty, she yelled at me
Speaker 1: once and I pulled her aside and go, hey, just
Speaker 1: so you know, I'm a full fledged adult and I
Speaker 1: would never talk to you or your kids when they
Speaker 1: grow up like that, so don't do that, and she
Speaker 1: goes at it and then one time she like texted
Speaker 1: me something and I was like, I'm just going to
Speaker 1: ignore it. Yeah, she's I have before from like people
Speaker 1: that you, oh, I used to like, you know, just
Speaker 1: like the family stuff where you're like your aunts or
Speaker 1: something take a tone with you about like this, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, I almost to be scared of my aunts.
Speaker 1: Let me just say, I'm like, I revere my aunts.
Speaker 1: I look up to them, I love them. But now
Speaker 1: if I get any kind of two from family, I'm
Speaker 1: just like, you're just a person to me, man, like
Speaker 1: you do, like I don't really subscribe to like but
Speaker 1: their blood. It's like, well I could have been adopted then,
Speaker 1: and then would you still say blood? You know, like
Speaker 1: it's just you. I think I'm not. My parents are
Speaker 1: definitely not on board. And I'm not saying about any
Speaker 1: I love all my family, have no beef with literally
Speaker 1: any of them. I'm very lucky about that. But there
Speaker 1: are times where I'm like, you have to go see
Speaker 1: them that you're there in town. I'm like, no, I don't,
Speaker 1: because they're I literally don't this person. I don't see
Speaker 1: them except once every ten years just because I'm in
Speaker 1: their town. Have to waste my time going to see them,
Speaker 1: isn't it crazy? Well here and here's blood there, blood nicky,
Speaker 1: And this is literally what she did. She came up
Speaker 1: to me one day and this was like, this was
Speaker 1: a while ago, but she was like, Bobby, I saw
Speaker 1: these people and they were at a Pro Choice and
Speaker 1: she was like crying and I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 1: And she was like, I just can't believe what they
Speaker 1: do to bab and I was like, okay, and then
Speaker 1: she literally that's when she went to the starbus. She
Speaker 1: was and then I went in there and yelled, and
Speaker 1: I literally go, that used to be a baby. I
Speaker 1: was like, you can't just like want babies to be
Speaker 1: here and then yell the people that are here. She's
Speaker 1: a future baby, Like it's crazy. She's like that where
Speaker 1: she doesn't see both sides. And I would tell her
Speaker 1: that and she'd be like, I just don't see it
Speaker 1: that way. And You're like, that's crazy, Like to not
Speaker 1: have empathy for people like in the world working for you,
Speaker 1: that's the easiest answer. I just don't see it that way.
Speaker 1: That's the answer. It's like, that's not a good enough answer.
Speaker 1: I just see agree to disagree that kind of thing. Yeah, please,
Speaker 1: let's finish this. And but you know the serial salesman
Speaker 1: how to joke about people who are pro life and
Speaker 1: how they get so upset about like little girls especially.
Speaker 1: You see little kids on the picket line, their parents
Speaker 1: have brought them there, and they're like screaming like, don't
Speaker 1: kill these babies. They literally think babies are being murdered
Speaker 1: in there, like fetuses are just being stabbed in the eyeballs.
Speaker 1: And so of course these little girls are gonna be
Speaker 1: like they're killing babies like it would be fucking traumatized.
Speaker 1: So it's as like your aunt kind of has a
Speaker 1: misconception about what it is. And so because if she's
Speaker 1: able to elicit tears over the lives of these then
Speaker 1: she obviously think something horrible is happening in there. But
Speaker 1: then not crying about yelling at a person in real life.
Speaker 1: Well that's the thing, is like, well, because people are
Speaker 1: so people like your aunt. No offense to your aunt,
Speaker 1: but also offense come at me, bitch, um is that
Speaker 1: you think you you think you're better than the Starbucks employee.
Speaker 1: You think that you made different decisions in life that
Speaker 1: didn't make you well, I can talk down to waite
Speaker 1: stuff because I I'm not I'm not a waiter. Why
Speaker 1: aren't you a waiter? Oh? Because I worked hard in
Speaker 1: life and I didn't. I you know, you think somehow
Speaker 1: you're smarter or better. You didn't choose your brain. You
Speaker 1: didn't choose your parents. You didn't choose the world, the
Speaker 1: city in which you were born. You didn't choose any
Speaker 1: of it. You got lucky, so for you to think
Speaker 1: you're better than anyone. If you were that woman at
Speaker 1: Starbucks and born into her life with her brain and
Speaker 1: her parents, you would be in the same position and
Speaker 1: you'd be getting yelled at by someone like you. So
Speaker 1: I have empathy for even you aun't crazy, can't contain
Speaker 1: your anger, and you I have empathy for you. You
Speaker 1: didn't choose your insane brain that thinks you're better than people.
Speaker 1: And you didn't choose to be a person with a
Speaker 1: brain that is so closed off to the idea that
Speaker 1: you you are the same as everyone, and that you're
Speaker 1: just lucky that you don't have to maybe take a
Speaker 1: job that you wouldn't want to take, or that you're
Speaker 1: not a drug addict or you're not homeless. You're lucky.
Speaker 1: You're not better, you're not smarter, and you might be smarter,
Speaker 1: but you're lucky that you're smarter. You're lucky you were
Speaker 1: born with a brain that has the ability to, but
Speaker 1: maybe not have a learning disability in school, study harder
Speaker 1: and like, but anyone who thinks they're better than homeless
Speaker 1: people or oh if I was in that, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: do that. Yes, you would. You do everything they did
Speaker 1: if you had the same brain as them. You just
Speaker 1: got lucky with yours. Bit right, crazy? Are you watching? Crazy?
Speaker 1: I bet she's still like, I don't, you can't and
Speaker 1: this will so much drama in your family. This will
Speaker 1: get back to crazy. No they no, no, no, it won't.
Speaker 1: They could not support me. No, I'm just kidding. That's
Speaker 1: what you think she'll think when she thinks I'm talking
Speaker 1: about her all have to do it is like, no,
Speaker 1: I was talking about this one. She's like, she's the
Speaker 1: bad one, right, Like, yeah, when you say that, you're
Speaker 1: gonna be like even when I said that, it was
Speaker 1: talking about someone else. Okay, but it's funny. Even when
Speaker 1: you think your family is tapped out and have no
Speaker 1: interest in your life. The times where you think you're
Speaker 1: going to be doing something and no one will hear it,
Speaker 1: and you go, they don't even listen to They don't
Speaker 1: care about anything I do. They'll hear that one that
Speaker 1: will get back to them. So always be aware because
Speaker 1: I always get that in my head of like I
Speaker 1: can say this, I know they don't listen to this. Yes, no,
Speaker 1: I don't even use their name. No one will know
Speaker 1: it's them to tell them. It gets back to them
Speaker 1: because someone use it and then goes, I heard this,
Speaker 1: and then someone tells someone yes maybe and crazy. You
Speaker 1: can go see Bobby open for you on the Good
Speaker 1: Girl tour? Oh yeah, would she ever support your comedy tour?
Speaker 1: She does. She has come out to see me before
Speaker 1: she has she has come out to see me. She's
Speaker 1: not she's a good person. But yeah, you're right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: she's not the worst person. She just like there are
Speaker 1: moments where you see her be like, I'm like, but
Speaker 1: you can't talk off the ledge. But if she told
Speaker 1: me something, I'd be like, you know, I guess I
Speaker 1: could try to understand that or whatever. But you tell
Speaker 1: her something, she's like, no, that's how that's like how
Speaker 1: that the whole side of the family is like, they
Speaker 1: can all watch. I love doing comedy because there's people
Speaker 1: have to shut the funk up. They get kicked out
Speaker 1: and they're like, please don't talk about me on stage,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, didn't be different. It's funny people
Speaker 1: like that that don't want to be told what's what.
Speaker 1: They're the ones that like walk out of shows or
Speaker 1: they don't know that's the best place for them because
Speaker 1: they just have to shut their sold out a show
Speaker 1: at Helium and she I told her get ticket, it's
Speaker 1: gonna sell out, and she goes, okay, I'll get him.
Speaker 1: It sold out and she called up and she's like,
Speaker 1: I kept telling him I'm your aunt, and they didn't care.
Speaker 1: They don't care at all. Yeah, I'm just a name
Speaker 1: on their paper. Oh my god. How times have you
Speaker 1: walked into your own show and been like, excuse me, sir,
Speaker 1: you can't just walk and you go my faces on
Speaker 1: the things. It happens all the time. I remember a
Speaker 1: very famous comedian that people know that I don't care for.
Speaker 1: She once walked into a show that had her name
Speaker 1: on the poster. It was like an improv or something,
Speaker 1: and the guy was like excuse me, man, and she goes, um, sorry,
Speaker 1: look at the fucking post and she got so mad
Speaker 1: and she had like had him fired. Anytime anyone does
Speaker 1: recognize me, I walk into theater or sometimes backstage and
Speaker 1: people are like, man, you can't come back, and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm on sorry, and this is my face. I know
Speaker 1: I look like faces of method. When for Dave Chappelle
Speaker 1: at the pageant, this was years ago. I was walking
Speaker 1: back and afterwards they were like, if you want, you
Speaker 1: can go say hi to him, and I guess his dude.
Speaker 1: There was a bouncer at the door that I walked in.
Speaker 1: I was like, hey day and he's like, hey, what
Speaker 1: are you doing? I go I was just on stage
Speaker 1: like I was on the show, and that's that's what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. No, no, no, And I could not have
Speaker 1: cared anymore at all. You don't take it personally. Was
Speaker 1: Dave nice to you? Unbelievably nice, nice guy. He was
Speaker 1: very very nice to me. Like I walked in the
Speaker 1: room and he's he remembered me, and he was like
Speaker 1: he came over and he was like, how's it going, man?
Speaker 1: Were you doing this hair? Because he was thought maybe
Speaker 1: you were traditioning, he might not have been as nice,
Speaker 1: like he's nice to trans people. Yeah he has. That's
Speaker 1: why I say, I'll be like I was like I
Speaker 1: like Chappelle and they're like, I'm like, I I like
Speaker 1: his stand up, you know what I mean, Like like, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's certain things that I disagree with. That thing disagree
Speaker 1: with people. For store, if you come to my show,
Speaker 1: which is the Good Girl Tours happening now, I'm in
Speaker 1: Memphis this Friday, please, I just put out a video
Speaker 1: on my Instagram about my Memphis show. It's the ticket
Speaker 1: sales are low as hell and so um and I'm
Speaker 1: not afraid to admit that. I'm it's people are like,
Speaker 1: you're gonna admit that, and I'm like, yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: care that I'm not selling well and members. I mean,
Speaker 1: I would like to sell better. I'm selling well literally
Speaker 1: everywhere else. So it's not it's not like an ego thing.
Speaker 1: I can admit, Hey, we need to get more people
Speaker 1: because people don't know people would come out. They just
Speaker 1: don't know out. The marketing hasn't been good enough. So
Speaker 1: I released a song today about Memphis on Instagram, trying
Speaker 1: to get my ticket sales up. So Memphis is the
Speaker 1: one I'm really wanting you to go to. If you
Speaker 1: live around there, if you know anyone there, please come
Speaker 1: out to the show. It's gonna be very special because
Speaker 1: it might be just twenty people and then and a
Speaker 1: very intimate evening. And then also, um, we have next
Speaker 1: week in Bobby jay Cox will be sorry opening for
Speaker 1: me in Waterloo, New York on Thursday. Next Thursday, and
Speaker 1: then on Friday, I will be in Hershey, Pennsylvania, and
Speaker 1: Saturday I will be in Atlantic City and we will

Speaker 1: did a guest spot opening for Brian Reagan there and
Speaker 1: it was the first time where you were like I
Speaker 1: came out and even like even the pageants big, but
Speaker 1: you come out there and you're like wow, like it's
Speaker 1: it's it's just beautiful. It's just beautiful inside and out.
Speaker 1: It is beautiful. The courthouse for the parade, and I'm
Speaker 1: like Greek courts where Nike's kind of ye, it's huge,
Speaker 1: So it's Someone the other day was like, I looked
Speaker 1: up your tickets. They're expensive, and I was like, I know,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Like I'm in bear, I'm not like Taylor
Speaker 1: Swift now, but how many years did you go without
Speaker 1: making that much money? I remember when I when we
Speaker 1: did Kansas City, you would walk from the hotel across
Speaker 1: like two parking lots to the show. You're like with
Speaker 1: all those times, you know what I'm saying, Like you
Speaker 1: would do to walk a couple of parking lots, That's
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But I'm like, I feel like now
Speaker 1: it's like you you do all that work, so now
Speaker 1: it's like you get to like the reason tickets are
Speaker 1: so much is because fucking ticket Master, you guys and
Speaker 1: all the other everyone that has to be paid, the
Speaker 1: guys working the lights, the guys working the sound. Like,
Speaker 1: Like it's not just me I'm leaving. I'm not walking
Speaker 1: away with as much as you think I am. At
Speaker 1: the end of the day, I have openers, I have
Speaker 1: eight dens, I have managers, Like you really get to
Speaker 1: the nitty gritty of it. And that's why I have
Speaker 1: to work so much, is because it seems like there
Speaker 1: and I'm not complaining my I'm very uh fortunate and
Speaker 1: grateful for the money that I make. But um, you
Speaker 1: spend a lot of money to make it. I mean
Speaker 1: I've told people before, a publicist that you hire, it's
Speaker 1: like six thousand dollars a month now and then people
Speaker 1: to do your social media, um, to run your social
Speaker 1: media and make clips for you and stuff that can
Speaker 1: run you, you know, three or four grand a month easy.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna become a publicists and it's it's it's a
Speaker 1: flat rate too. So if you want a publicist, it's
Speaker 1: going to be like I think it's like used to
Speaker 1: be three back in like two thousand thirteen. I think
Speaker 1: it's six now five or six. And it is. Brad
Speaker 1: Pitt pays five thousand, you pay five thousand. Any at
Speaker 1: any level, it's a flat it's the only it's the
Speaker 1: only thing I know of that is a flat rate
Speaker 1: across the board. Yeah, that's wild. I had no there's
Speaker 1: it's the land. But look at the stiff one. That's
Speaker 1: a huge place. They gotta heat that place and keep
Speaker 1: the lights. They gotta heat it except my shows. Bring
Speaker 1: your park up because ticket sales we're going to chop
Speaker 1: off some dollars and it's gonna be a freezing But yeah,
Speaker 1: so Memphis. But anyway, UM, my twenty year reunion was
Speaker 1: so freaking fun and um and it was just there
Speaker 1: wasn't anyone. I would say that. I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I had no enemies in high school. Really
Speaker 1: it's more like, did you have you didn't have bullies,
Speaker 1: or you don't have anyone who's like mean to you
Speaker 1: or anything like. I mean, it was the fourth grade
Speaker 1: I had and then that kind of like went away
Speaker 1: as soon as I got my own friends, and I
Speaker 1: never had bullies after that. I was very lucky. Um,
Speaker 1: but I did have people that I was super jealous of,
Speaker 1: and like, there was one girl I think that I
Speaker 1: had talked about on my Instagram when I was living
Speaker 1: during COVID at home in St. Louis and I my
Speaker 1: yearbooks in one night, I was just going through them
Speaker 1: on my Instagram stories and there was one girl. I
Speaker 1: was like, I wanted to be her. Everyone wanted to
Speaker 1: be her. She was the most popular girl. She's so
Speaker 1: hot and it got through the grape vine to me,
Speaker 1: like through texting that was like she's fucking pissed. Take
Speaker 1: her off your instagrams or I'm like, I didn't say
Speaker 1: anything back. I just said she was hot and we
Speaker 1: all wanted to be her. And look how she was
Speaker 1: kind of scared if she showed up. No, thank god,
Speaker 1: I thought I saw her and I like freaked out,
Speaker 1: and I was like, why am I scared? I didn't
Speaker 1: do anything wrong. I took it down. She didn't like it,
Speaker 1: so it wasn't like but I felt really scared that
Speaker 1: she was like mad at me, and I felt like,
Speaker 1: I know, I know that I've said so much about
Speaker 1: popular kids over the years in different things, and I
Speaker 1: know the way this works where it's like the one
Speaker 1: thing you've said about someone will get back to them.
Speaker 1: And I've been at this for twenty years, so I
Speaker 1: have said I probably name dropped all of those people
Speaker 1: at times, either saying they were so hot or like
Speaker 1: I hated them, secretly wanted to be them, wanted to
Speaker 1: liked that, you know, whatever it was. Guys like had
Speaker 1: crushes on them. So every single person I knew, I
Speaker 1: just heard some podcast clip where I've said their name
Speaker 1: or their friends name or something. So there was that
Speaker 1: kind of It was funny because like the popular kids
Speaker 1: were still kind of hanging with each other and they
Speaker 1: were still clicks in at Hacienda Mexican restaurant on Manchester Road,
Speaker 1: UM near rock Hill, and it was but it was
Speaker 1: weird because I felt like this is gonna come back
Speaker 1: to bite me. But I guess I don't have another
Speaker 1: reunion for another five years or something. So I will
Speaker 1: say that that there was certain people. Everyone everyone, sorry,
Speaker 1: everyone knew that I am a person that's on TV now.
Speaker 1: I think, so it would be hard in the twenty years,
Speaker 1: eighteen years yeah Massinger, Massinger, Yeah, it are already aired
Speaker 1: to yes, So that was like, well, there was just
Speaker 1: like so I'm sounding already. I'm like picturing people rolling
Speaker 1: their eyes and be saying this, but there's just no
Speaker 1: a you don't know someone from your high school that
Speaker 1: has been negative in the rows, like so many things
Speaker 1: from your saying like you might not have known me
Speaker 1: in high school. And if I showed up and I
Speaker 1: just was like, you know, a normal lady that had
Speaker 1: a normal job, you might go, oh, I don't remember
Speaker 1: you from high school, but you've since jogged you remember,
Speaker 1: and been like, that's Nikkila. She was in my graduating class.
Speaker 1: There's just no way that they don't know that. And
Speaker 1: I will say, and they even knew me in high school.
Speaker 1: I mean these people and they just didn't want to
Speaker 1: look at me. And I kept trying to make you know,
Speaker 1: you make eye contact across room and then you wave
Speaker 1: and then you you cross the room to talk to
Speaker 1: each other. That's kind of how it goes instead of
Speaker 1: just like going up to each other. So I would
Speaker 1: try to make eye contact and I was getting nothing
Speaker 1: from a group of people. And I kept saying to
Speaker 1: my friend Taylor, who went with me, I'm like, it's
Speaker 1: so weird, Like the popular kids are kind of like
Speaker 1: acting like like I keep trying to make eye contact
Speaker 1: with them, and it's like they haven't even looked at
Speaker 1: me once, and it's not like how weird it. But
Speaker 1: then I realized it's because they are trying to be cool.
Speaker 1: They're trying to act like they don't care, which I
Speaker 1: probably would have done too, Like I want to either
Speaker 1: they want to make me feel comfortable, like I don't
Speaker 1: need to make a big deal of it, or she
Speaker 1: already thinks she's such a big deal, So I'm not
Speaker 1: going to give her anything because she thinks she's such
Speaker 1: a fucking hot shit even though I didn't at all.
Speaker 1: But they don't know that, and maybe I do, and
Speaker 1: maybe I'm just subconsciously I do think I'm hot. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but I just could tell that. Like, but
Speaker 1: I I knew what it was like to see anyone
Speaker 1: else and they'd be like hey and like make I
Speaker 1: could like it was happening all over the place. But
Speaker 1: there was a certain popular crew. I only didn't talk
Speaker 1: to two people there the whole night and didn't talk
Speaker 1: to them at all or even like wave across the room.
Speaker 1: Really that I that I know knew me and knew me.
Speaker 1: There were some people I didn't talk to you because
Speaker 1: I just didn't know them at all. Um, there are
Speaker 1: only two people, and I swear to god they like
Speaker 1: the person. The guy would be like walking towards me,
Speaker 1: like like towards a group that I was with, and
Speaker 1: then see me and then just like turn around on
Speaker 1: a dime. And I was like, this person has not
Speaker 1: changed in seventh grade. He still has the same energy
Speaker 1: as he did in seventh When I like he hasn't.
Speaker 1: It hadn't changed at all. And then there were other
Speaker 1: people that were like so nice and so cool. There's
Speaker 1: you know a couple of people that are so hot.
Speaker 1: It's so funny because you still get like nervous around
Speaker 1: the same guys. Like it never leaves you. High school
Speaker 1: is always kind of you leave you. That's what I've
Speaker 1: said growing up. I'm always like, I thought when you
Speaker 1: were done with high school was done, but it always
Speaker 1: kind of keeps coming back, whether it's clicks or everything.
Speaker 1: High school. Like if we were going through my yearbook
Speaker 1: the other day and my buddy was like, do you remember,
Speaker 1: I was like, how could you forget? Like, yeah, we
Speaker 1: all still remember the cute people or all that stuff.
Speaker 1: I still remember too, and some of them are looking
Speaker 1: real good. Still go with you. I wish he would
Speaker 1: have gone with me. It would have been nice to
Speaker 1: have that handsome gent on my arm um. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: would have loved for him to be there. But Taylor
Speaker 1: was my date and she was she was in the
Speaker 1: grade above me, so it was kind of fun to
Speaker 1: have her there. I'm glad someone went with me. I
Speaker 1: would have gone alone, but Taylor came through and came
Speaker 1: home from her trip early to go with me, and
Speaker 1: ye know, these people that don't come up to you,
Speaker 1: maybe they feel insecure of the Yeah, it's not that's
Speaker 1: who I care. Too cool, I think give them the
Speaker 1: benefit because you don't put off that vibe. I've never
Speaker 1: seen you in a room put off that vibe where
Speaker 1: you're like, I'm too cool ever since. Truly. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: that's very nice of you. But I think that sometimes
Speaker 1: I can even think, even me saying this, I'm I
Speaker 1: think those people thought they were too cool when my
Speaker 1: mom's like, maybe they were insecure. I hadn't even considered that,
Speaker 1: and they might think the same about me. She thinks
Speaker 1: she's really cool even though I'm insecure, or like I
Speaker 1: was in the corner in a booth and they were
Speaker 1: probably like, she's over there just being like come to me,
Speaker 1: but I'm really like, I just want to pound this
Speaker 1: impossible into my head. I think you're having empathy, But
Speaker 1: I do think sometimes there are people that don't change,
Speaker 1: and sometimes if you remember them from high school and
Speaker 1: if they're putting off that same vibe, sometimes maybe they're
Speaker 1: just trying to be too cool. But I think also
Speaker 1: maybe they are kid. Yeah they were you know, there
Speaker 1: was kidness going on a little bit from just a
Speaker 1: couple of people that were like kid but then there
Speaker 1: were Um it was nice. I was so I was
Speaker 1: really mad that so many people didn't come. That shut up.
Speaker 1: So it was a good turnout, but it wasn't a
Speaker 1: great turnout, and it was graduating everyone. And I'm not
Speaker 1: joking you. Everyone has three kids. Everyone three children. I'm
Speaker 1: not joking you. You either have no children, which was
Speaker 1: maybe me. Like there was one other person, pH Balance,
Speaker 1: shout out to you. His name is Paul Holleran, but
Speaker 1: we called him pH Balance back in high school. pH
Speaker 1: Balance and his wife they have no kids. Um, I
Speaker 1: have no kids. Um. I think Rob Eiselhardt has no kids.
Speaker 1: But everyone else not one kid, not two kids, three kids.
Speaker 1: And it's like and they all said the same thing,
Speaker 1: all of them a third child. I have so much sympathy.
Speaker 1: I was like, I think you should board planes before
Speaker 1: veterans like you got and they do. They do, yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: like but no people think people have two and they're like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I want another one of these don't have.
Speaker 1: Then their life changes because the third child adds a
Speaker 1: new dimension. It's like you can't because you can't focus
Speaker 1: on the other two that are beating each other up.
Speaker 1: Because and you got to buy a bigger car because
Speaker 1: yeah you need more, but you can't go to restaurants
Speaker 1: and then your car getting stolen. I have to wait
Speaker 1: talking about this now, it's crazy. Well, I saw this
Speaker 1: weekend on Thanksgiving, we spent speaking of like family, I
Speaker 1: spent it with my sister brother in law and their
Speaker 1: three kids and then my parents. Right after the parade,
Speaker 1: which ended at eleven, I went over to my parents
Speaker 1: house at noon and then all the kids were over
Speaker 1: there and we were there from noon until ten o'clock
Speaker 1: at night, so ten o hours. Did not well that
Speaker 1: I left at ten I guess they did. They did
Speaker 1: not take naps. So this is ten hours of three kids.
Speaker 1: You know, a bait for us one poppies three. Arlow
Speaker 1: is four or five? Four? He's five? Five okay, um
Speaker 1: news to me, and uh he's been five for a
Speaker 1: while since April. But it was chaos. It was and
Speaker 1: there there my mom, Dad, me, Lauren, and Matt and
Speaker 1: there are five people to take care of these three kids.
Speaker 1: And it was still like so overwhelming it never ends.
Speaker 1: My mom gave arlow a gun. It was an so
Speaker 1: it came with a dinosaur. It's a gun. You should
Speaker 1: It's like a big orange gun. But it looks like
Speaker 1: it's a little pistol. It looks like a little pistol,
Speaker 1: but it's it's it's substantial. It's the size of a
Speaker 1: pistol and it goes like it has a sound effect.
Speaker 1: Big mistake. He was shooting me like in the table constantly,
Speaker 1: like putting out to my temple and just being like
Speaker 1: you're dead. It was so he is gone, the gun
Speaker 1: is gone. We did a buyback program, you know. Um
Speaker 1: it was. It was a little bit like we kept
Speaker 1: we kept telling him like, I'm never that side of
Speaker 1: him with the gun. So I was like, why did
Speaker 1: I When you're a little boy with a gun, you can't.
Speaker 1: It's like when you shoot each other over it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he wants to stay. Blood stabbing, all these things are
Speaker 1: coming out. Oh my god, he draws pictures. We were
Speaker 1: drawing together and all he draws his knives and then
Speaker 1: people with exes for eyes. He's five and he's and
Speaker 1: he's blood. There's a lot of blood, a lot of blood,
Speaker 1: a lot of reds. Yeah. I never did that that's
Speaker 1: like some movie that's not some old Damien omen that's crazy.
Speaker 1: It's not like a really like dark child. Like he's
Speaker 1: not like a kid that he's like always lighthearted about it.
Speaker 1: He's like and then there's blood, and then they all
Speaker 1: diet and then they're debt like he's like about it's
Speaker 1: not like he doesn't understand what it all means. I
Speaker 1: don't know where it can come. He doesn't. But at
Speaker 1: the end of the night, so we get to Thanksgiving
Speaker 1: dinner and by the way, he like, my mom sets
Speaker 1: the table and like puts out the food and he's like,
Speaker 1: this is all disgusting to me, Like, what do you say?
Speaker 1: My mom goes, I just heard my mom goes, well
Speaker 1: that hurts my feelings are Oh my god. It's so
Speaker 1: cute when kids are like that, when they're like dark. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's fine. I don't give that little girl
Speaker 1: that was like because I'm evil. No, oh, that one too.
Speaker 1: But there's this little girl she's like and she's sitting there.
Speaker 1: She goes, what did you say? She goes kill me?
Speaker 1: She goes, what she just kill me? Like that movie
Speaker 1: And you're like what. But it's just like funny because
Speaker 1: they they're like practicing talk and they don't even know
Speaker 1: what they're saying. They're like they're just coloring. They're doing
Speaker 1: all that. We laugh and then they keep doing it
Speaker 1: and I can't stop black. He's drawn and I keep
Speaker 1: going intete a Christmas tree and he's like, no, it's
Speaker 1: a knife. He keeps drawing these things that the knives
Speaker 1: get bigger so they look like Christmas trees and they
Speaker 1: have to handle at the bottom. And I was like,
Speaker 1: that's got to be interesting. Was like, no, there's blood
Speaker 1: at the top of it. But he um. So then
Speaker 1: we're going around the table playing like as we're eating Thanksgiving,
Speaker 1: like not before we ate, but after as we're like eating,
Speaker 1: like what are you thankful for? We all go around
Speaker 1: and they gets to Arlow and he said, and I
Speaker 1: wrote it down in my phone. He said, I'm thankful
Speaker 1: for dead persons in jail. And then he goes and Mommy,
Speaker 1: but he's thankful for dead persons in jail, which doesn't
Speaker 1: make any sense, but he and that's saying yeah and
Speaker 1: soon to be what's her name? Just um, yeah, So Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: But I did write Chris on Thanksgiving and I said,
Speaker 1: I know that I don't want kids. I just I don't.
Speaker 1: We haven't had to have us. There's not a single
Speaker 1: conversation that's been able to take place that's going anywhere
Speaker 1: past I'm the doctory stage. Yeah, I'm not playing to that.
Speaker 1: I literally like, I love I would wish my brother.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you have I'll be an uncle like that
Speaker 1: will be tight, Like don't you love being an aunt?
Speaker 1: Like I feel like that's yeah, But you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I don't. I just it's so stressful. But
Speaker 1: it's stressful if you're not, I'm gonna turn into aunt crazy.
Speaker 1: I Nikki comes over and oh my god, I go, Mom,
Speaker 1: why would you want this for me? Because my mom's
Speaker 1: always like, just freeze your eggs? And I go, why
Speaker 1: would you want this for me? Why would you want
Speaker 1: me to even put this on? Like? Because I know
Speaker 1: that they bring a lot of joy. I mean, they
Speaker 1: bring so much joy to my life and to my sisters,
Speaker 1: and it's all going to pay off when they become
Speaker 1: like tiny adults and they start like being able to
Speaker 1: take care of themselves. It all pays off. But I
Speaker 1: do not want to give away ten years of my life.
Speaker 1: And I know that and talking to well ten years
Speaker 1: of like when it's really seen. I know, but you're
Speaker 1: not because you throw college in there. Honestly, in the
Speaker 1: world we live in now, it's like thirty three, Like
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know everyone, Do you think that
Speaker 1: I should have kids? Do you think based on what
Speaker 1: I think that maybe if you froze your eggs, I
Speaker 1: mean maybe you would consider it later? Or you Why
Speaker 1: would I want that later? Why do you think? Do
Speaker 1: you think if you get to a place where I'm
Speaker 1: gonna want it, well, you may marry someone who wants
Speaker 1: children desperately. Nikki, You're not gonna like this. But what
Speaker 1: about like last week or the week before, you were
Speaker 1: talking about what a great time you had in Santa
Speaker 1: Barbara with your mom and going to the hotel having
Speaker 1: your parents there from the mass singer, all those experiences
Speaker 1: that you have with your parents more than like adult age.
Speaker 1: What about that? Forget about like the you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: if I could have an adult child, I would. I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm not kidding you. If I could skip the childhood
Speaker 1: and we could start at ten, which I know you could,
Speaker 1: but like, it's not the same adopting a ten year old.
Speaker 1: You're not going to get the same bond that you
Speaker 1: have if you have them from so I'm sacrificing all
Speaker 1: those things that are good later on because I don't
Speaker 1: want to give up the first ten years, Like if
Speaker 1: I could get a ten I think that's the age
Speaker 1: that I start to like really think kids are cool.
Speaker 1: It's like ten and all my friends who have kids,
Speaker 1: they're like, it's so good. Ll it like the I
Speaker 1: can't even are you kidding here right now? It's insane.
Speaker 1: That's insane, you know what I mean. So I get
Speaker 1: that there's both sides. I bet it is beautiful, but
Speaker 1: everyone was just at the reunion to avoid being with
Speaker 1: their kids. Most of them were like I didn't want
Speaker 1: to come, but it was excused to get out of
Speaker 1: the house. You are Laura never complains, never ever complain
Speaker 1: it matter, never complain. They're very chill, but they just don't.
Speaker 1: I would complain all the time because I always say
Speaker 1: to her, like, I know, this is what you signed
Speaker 1: up because she kind of goes, this is you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to complain about what I signed up for.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be one of those moms. But you're
Speaker 1: allowed to like, it's not exactly what you signed up for.
Speaker 1: You didn't know it was going to be this hard,
Speaker 1: But I I just think you probably feel like you
Speaker 1: wouldn't have that patience in you. I just know. I
Speaker 1: just really like my life. I like being able to
Speaker 1: do what I want to do. And maybe it's selfish,
Speaker 1: but I really I'm not. I'm already feel very stunted
Speaker 1: in terms of like the learn you know, learning that
Speaker 1: I like to play guitar, and like I like to sing,
Speaker 1: and that I like, you know, I have so much
Speaker 1: more I want to accomplish in life, and kids take
Speaker 1: you out for many years where you can't get stuff done,
Speaker 1: and I know that there are people that can't. I
Speaker 1: know I wouldn't. I don't have enough bandwidth to get
Speaker 1: it all done and feeling guilty. And I like napping.
Speaker 1: I like, you know, I like watching VP all day.
Speaker 1: I like I like doing nothing. I like I like
Speaker 1: doing nothing, and I just it's selfish because I do
Speaker 1: know I am gonna miss out when you guys are gone.
Speaker 1: If when my parents are gone, that's when you go.
Speaker 1: I wish I had something else, but I'm gonna get birds.
Speaker 1: And I think that I really and I know that sounds,
Speaker 1: but birds, you can't. We're going to be replaced by birds.
Speaker 1: Well birds, yeah, but I like parrots and stuff like
Speaker 1: bird parrots, and I really want them, and I just
Speaker 1: feel like I'm wasting my life not having them, like
Speaker 1: I'm going to at some point go every day that
Speaker 1: you had no bird in your life was a waste
Speaker 1: of your life because it's like the happiest that it
Speaker 1: can make me. And so I feel like with I
Speaker 1: can't do kids and birds are a huge responsibility also
Speaker 1: something that takes a lot of time and a lot
Speaker 1: of like effort years long. M Yeah, but you can
Speaker 1: leave and you can go for my Santa Barbara trip
Speaker 1: with my birds. Someday I'll get the same thing out
Speaker 1: of that and they'll come. I'll watch them on the
Speaker 1: mask square would have in Santa Barbara. There you go.
Speaker 1: Would you go on stage with like it on your shoulder,
Speaker 1: like like you distracting? But I think people could get
Speaker 1: over it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think I think I
Speaker 1: would have it because I brought Marian on stage before
Speaker 1: my dogs, and people at first are like, you gotta
Speaker 1: make jokes about it, but then they just get relaxed
Speaker 1: because the dogs just like and it's just something because
Speaker 1: when you're on stage talking for so long, you want
Speaker 1: to give people something to look at because they get
Speaker 1: kind of bored. There's not a lot to look at.
Speaker 1: It's just someone, knowlogizing on stage. You want. So I
Speaker 1: like to wear like outfits where people can kind of
Speaker 1: like dissect the outfit because I know that they're going
Speaker 1: to tune me out at some point, you know. So
Speaker 1: a bird on my shoulder, Hell yeah, I bring word
Speaker 1: on stage. We'll take a quick break and get right
Speaker 1: back to the show. Right, we're back. Yeah. So the
Speaker 1: reunion was great, and um, what else happened? And I
Speaker 1: decided I don't want kids because everyone has three kids
Speaker 1: and everyone seemed to be burdened by that. And they
Speaker 1: all said that, like the third kid was a mistake.
Speaker 1: It's like a mistake and like we shouldn't have done
Speaker 1: the same mistake of like it didn't mean we didn't
Speaker 1: mean for this to happen. And I go, have you
Speaker 1: never heard of Marshman? But I guess sorry, aunt, crazy
Speaker 1: people can't Yeah, that thing that you can do, but
Speaker 1: people just go people do that all the time. They go,
Speaker 1: they we didn't want her, but they were it was
Speaker 1: a mistake, and I go, are we living that? It's
Speaker 1: pretty interesting and I'm going to just have to I
Speaker 1: guess I have to keep this one. I sometimes just
Speaker 1: go like, do you not know? Both don't think like that,
Speaker 1: but they don't know. I mean, I like, this is
Speaker 1: look at my other two beauties. I have a lot
Speaker 1: of friends who are approach choice and are still like,
Speaker 1: I would never ever do that. And I gotta say,
Speaker 1: I don't think it would be a big issue for
Speaker 1: me to do. It's not something I want to do.
Speaker 1: I've never had to do it, thank god, um, but
Speaker 1: I don't think it would be something for me that
Speaker 1: I would And I don't know because I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people maybe do have that done and then
Speaker 1: they go, that was way more of a big deal
Speaker 1: to me than I thought it was. And I'm someone
Speaker 1: who like, I mean, I get sad when I pull
Speaker 1: a booker out of my nose because I'm like, this
Speaker 1: was a part of me, or like I lose a
Speaker 1: piece of hair and I'm like this was on my
Speaker 1: head for like I don't know, I just like it's
Speaker 1: a part of it now that I want to keep it.
Speaker 1: But like I get sad, like a scab like the
Speaker 1: other day I shaved it, like I have this like
Speaker 1: scalpel that I cut down my house is on my
Speaker 1: feet with and even that that, I was like looking
Speaker 1: at this couse and I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this has been through so much with me, Like this
Speaker 1: is this was on my foot when I sang the
Speaker 1: national anthem. This was my foot when I did the messing,
Speaker 1: or this was on my foot, like this was building up.
Speaker 1: This is like been through a lot. And I got sad.
Speaker 1: We should hang those on the whimsical what was that
Speaker 1: we should hang them on the wall behind you. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna tell you what I do. Fingernails are like
Speaker 1: I kind of just like get those out of there.
Speaker 1: But there is a part of me that I yeah, there,
Speaker 1: it's a little there's just like I worked my body
Speaker 1: worked to make that and now I'm just tossing it away.
Speaker 1: So there is something of that. But for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: I'm not when you blow your nose, oh no, I'm
Speaker 1: not sad about that. And I was joking about the booking.
Speaker 1: I don't about books. Teeth. I missed my teeth. I
Speaker 1: really wish the doctor wouldn't take an eight out of
Speaker 1: my fucking face. Because now when I smile a wide,
Speaker 1: I have big gaps here. I'm thinking about getting my
Speaker 1: smile widened. He took what teeth? It was a fad
Speaker 1: back in St. Louis in the nineties where they took
Speaker 1: out too many teeth. And there's this other guy that
Speaker 1: has it to Louis House. He's a very famous influencer.
Speaker 1: Lewis Houses, also from St. Louis, and he had the
Speaker 1: same thing. He just recently had to get veneers. I
Speaker 1: only go farther back than mine. I have less teeth
Speaker 1: and Andrew. And Andrew has no teeth do you have?
Speaker 1: I think I have like one teeth or something like.
Speaker 1: It's like a really low number. But but I've just
Speaker 1: made up a number. But they're usually even my teeth
Speaker 1: be able to drink in their number. Um. So yeah,
Speaker 1: but anyway, Um, when do we get to talk about
Speaker 1: the Mouse Singer? Yeah, let's talk about it, the Mass Singer.
Speaker 1: I was on that show. Everyone. I watched it last night.
Speaker 1: I watched all the episodes. I watched all. I loved
Speaker 1: the you talking about Bob Saget and break. That was
Speaker 1: so sincere and so sweet. That was really beautiful. I
Speaker 1: thought it was really nice, but there was that what
Speaker 1: was that? No one but a total giveaway, like if
Speaker 1: anyone had their doubts, And I mean it was just
Speaker 1: like they kept doing things that I'm like, and then
Speaker 1: they wouldn't let me sing a Taylor Swift song because
Speaker 1: they're like, that'll be too I don't even know why
Speaker 1: they didn't let me do a Taylor Swift song. I
Speaker 1: fought for it everyone like, so you couldn't. I felt
Speaker 1: like I betrayed myself not singing like they've done them
Speaker 1: before on the show. And I tried to get them
Speaker 1: to do Babe By like other songs that she's written
Speaker 1: for other artists, so it wouldn't have to be we
Speaker 1: don't have to pay her publisher or whatever whatever it was,
Speaker 1: and they still wouldn't let me do those songs like
Speaker 1: better Man. I tried to get to do that song.
Speaker 1: I tried to do Babe, I tried to do um
Speaker 1: just any anything. I was like, I will do that
Speaker 1: Midnight Rain song that's like she wanted, like it's not
Speaker 1: either her voice, like I would have done anything. It
Speaker 1: was before Midnights came out, so I taped it in
Speaker 1: July August, so it was before my soul surgery. Um.
Speaker 1: It was the reason I got my surgery. So you
Speaker 1: know I talked about getting my vocal cords surgery and
Speaker 1: how the person who talked me into doing it was
Speaker 1: my vocal teacher, and I knew that. You guys assumed
Speaker 1: that was probably the one that I've been going to before,
Speaker 1: but you didn't know it was a new one that
Speaker 1: I met on the show. UM, So I lied by omission,
Speaker 1: but it didn't quite lie because it was my vocal
Speaker 1: teacher who said I should get it, and it was
Speaker 1: that's how it happened. But on the Best Singer, I
Speaker 1: discovered that I had hemorrhaging on my chords, and so
Speaker 1: I sang with broken chords. UM, but it still did
Speaker 1: pretty good. But I had to take every song down
Speaker 1: like eighteen octaves, but it still worked. And then um,
Speaker 1: and then the show ended. But it was some questions
Speaker 1: that came through. Where did I get to keep the costume? No,
Speaker 1: I don't know why, but they didn't let me keep
Speaker 1: any part of it. I did keep the bra from it.
Speaker 1: My boots. My boobs were also massed on the shows.
Speaker 1: They were I literally the I should show you the bra,
Speaker 1: it isn't I felt the other day it's an inch
Speaker 1: thick of batting and because it's yeah, yeah, I wear
Speaker 1: it around Arlowe case he gets stabby um and then
Speaker 1: um how heavy was But it was so heavy? It
Speaker 1: was the heavy. The the guy who was like operating
Speaker 1: because there was like lights inside the mask and they
Speaker 1: had to like rig it every single time I put
Speaker 1: it on. The guy that made it and was like
Speaker 1: an engineer on the costumes said that my mask was
Speaker 1: the heaviest mass that he had dealt with. So I
Speaker 1: don't know how long he had been in the show,
Speaker 1: but he was like, this is by far the heaviest mask.
Speaker 1: It was so heavy it was probably I'm guessing twelve
Speaker 1: pounds off pounds on like that. And then the actual snowflake,
Speaker 1: which was a backpack that I wore. It had like
Speaker 1: these little prongs coming off it and then it would
Speaker 1: latch on like a backpack over my shoulders. That was
Speaker 1: at least thirty five pounds at least, and the wingspan
Speaker 1: of that was beyond my own wingspan, so it was
Speaker 1: like I was constantly bumping into things. And also inside
Speaker 1: my mask, I couldn't see anything. It was all it
Speaker 1: was really hard to see. I kind of just had
Speaker 1: to go buy lights, like bright lights and like you
Speaker 1: couldn't see through the eye. Not really no, because sometimes
Speaker 1: they would have the lyrics up on the thing, and
Speaker 1: I go, there's that's worthless to There's no way I
Speaker 1: could ever say, God, you didn't even have backup lyrics
Speaker 1: up there. No, And that's why I messed up some
Speaker 1: of the lyrics. So you can definitely hear I messed
Speaker 1: up some of the lyrics. But but the best part
Speaker 1: about the mask is that first of all, no one
Speaker 1: knows it's you, and so you don't have to have
Speaker 1: this like, oh my god, I feel so stupid singing,
Speaker 1: like people are gonna judge me. That's all gone. They're
Speaker 1: so it's so fun to be in, like you can
Speaker 1: be anyone you want to be. If it was so
Speaker 1: cool to just be singing and not feel like how
Speaker 1: your look or anything, I didn't have makeup on TV,
Speaker 1: I would like, you know, when I was unmasked, they
Speaker 1: knew that when you get unmasked behind the scenes, uh
Speaker 1: information here, you get unmasked, they know you're eliminated, and
Speaker 1: then they take you back. They whisk. It makes it
Speaker 1: look like it doesn't It just is all in one swoop,
Speaker 1: or it's like take it off, so they shout take
Speaker 1: it off, take it and then you act like you're
Speaker 1: struggling with it, and then they usher you backstage and
Speaker 1: then you get hair and makeup, and then they put
Speaker 1: you back out there and they go take it off.
Speaker 1: And then you take it off and you have full
Speaker 1: hair and makeup. Before that, you were like a sweaty mess.
Speaker 1: And I'm in the little skull cap to protect my
Speaker 1: hair from all the stuff inside, and um, and I
Speaker 1: have a big into my forehead from part of the
Speaker 1: thing like it was. It was a big But the
Speaker 1: coolest part about the costume was that inside you're like
Speaker 1: it's almost like, um, it felt like I'm in a
Speaker 1: cryogenic chamber or something, or it felt like I it
Speaker 1: felt like when you meditate and you're like looking for
Speaker 1: the yourself, like who is there a person inside you
Speaker 1: that's operating things? Are you just like consciousness or whatever?
Speaker 1: I don't know it got me any, but it felt
Speaker 1: like I was something inside. It felt like the thing
Speaker 1: that is the illusion that where you're just like you
Speaker 1: just get to focus on century deprivation. Yeah, I was
Speaker 1: alone in there, so I could sing as if I
Speaker 1: was alone and when you don't have but usually we
Speaker 1: have that all the time. You can always kind of
Speaker 1: pretend to be that where it's like you're alone in
Speaker 1: you and we all we all have that illusion that
Speaker 1: we're inside ourselves like controlling things, when really there's no
Speaker 1: free will and you can't control anything and it's kind
Speaker 1: of all just happening and you don't. It's hard to
Speaker 1: figure that out, but it's true. But we all have
Speaker 1: that illusion of where like operating our hands and our
Speaker 1: thoughts and our things, but you actually have no But
Speaker 1: this is the first time I felt like I really
Speaker 1: was and I could be alone in there and just
Speaker 1: like I was kind of like singing in the shower
Speaker 1: or I was underneath my covers or something like you
Speaker 1: were alone with yourself, so I could kind of talk
Speaker 1: to myself and be like like I was. It felt
Speaker 1: very lonely in there, but in like a good way.
Speaker 1: Her Yes, yes, And you sang with a real microphone,
Speaker 1: like you put it up to your mouth. You weren't
Speaker 1: like miked inside it, um, which I was surprised by.
Speaker 1: But don't they have a cover on your mouth? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It was around my chin. Oh, that's as far as
Speaker 1: it goes, ye would mind kept slipping off because I
Speaker 1: would open my mouth too wide and then they would
Speaker 1: be like cover it up because they couldn't. They didn't
Speaker 1: want to tell your skin tone, like they don't want
Speaker 1: to see anything. So when you're backstage at the show.
Speaker 1: My parents came to the show and if the pictures,
Speaker 1: we're all wearing these hoodies that say don't talk to me,
Speaker 1: which is one that they put you in. So when
Speaker 1: I first got to the mess singer, I should pull
Speaker 1: up on the lot and in the my you know,
Speaker 1: black are and this guy opens cracks open the door
Speaker 1: and it's like, hey, Snowstorm, and they called me Snowstorm.
Speaker 1: There was no Nikki. No one ever calls you Nikki
Speaker 1: within the show except from the first meeting. They go him, Nikki,
Speaker 1: we're picking out your character and then you're that. They
Speaker 1: presented it to me and I was like, I love it.
Speaker 1: Like it was like if you don't like it, it's fine.
Speaker 1: I was like, I thought they were gonna pick like,
Speaker 1: you know, the shaved beaver or something. I thought they
Speaker 1: were going to do some kind of like gross. Stokes's
Speaker 1: gonna be something like gross, you know, the best it
Speaker 1: was like, I got to be a princess, Yeah, a
Speaker 1: snow princess, And so I was. I did though from
Speaker 1: the very get go, it was like it had a
Speaker 1: skirt with it. It had this big heavy blouse thing
Speaker 1: and had this long, like flowy skirt, and I was like,
Speaker 1: let's do total spandex and just the head and then
Speaker 1: the snow, like we don't need. Let's like make it
Speaker 1: pretty sexy, like, let's make her like because I because
Speaker 1: I got to lean into that, because I got to
Speaker 1: do what every want. And then I was like, let's
Speaker 1: pick out a huge braw that makes it look like
Speaker 1: I have Dolly bo yeah, because I don't want anyone
Speaker 1: to be able to like, Yeah, so I gained twenty
Speaker 1: pounds really throw people off. No, I didn't do that,
Speaker 1: but I didn't actually do that. But I wasn't to
Speaker 1: throw people off. It just was naturally happened that way.
Speaker 1: But um and um. So when we get to the studio,
Speaker 1: this guy greets you and he throws you in a
Speaker 1: duffel bag and he's like, so put on all these things,
Speaker 1: and you're I'm in the car about it's a hundred
Speaker 1: degrees outside and I have to put on sweatpants and
Speaker 1: then socks, and then put on my shoes and make
Speaker 1: sure all my skins covered up. This long sweatshirt that says,
Speaker 1: don't talk to me, zip it up, put the hood
Speaker 1: over my head, pull my hair back, put on this
Speaker 1: gigantic visor that covers my entire face. Yeah, daft punk style,
Speaker 1: and then you walk out. And then you walk around
Speaker 1: the lot and there's only two people. There's like three
Speaker 1: people in the show who know it's you, and the
Speaker 1: rest of the people. You know, there's hundreds of people
Speaker 1: working on the show, and you're just walking by and
Speaker 1: everyone's just like and it says, don't talk to me,
Speaker 1: because no one can talk. You can't. You can't. They
Speaker 1: don't want to know your voice. They don't want anyone
Speaker 1: because it's so top secret. So there's only about besides executives.
Speaker 1: There's only three people that you really work with, and
Speaker 1: you just get shuttled from one place to the next,
Speaker 1: and you have to get dressed. So I would for
Speaker 1: my voice, listen, I could take it off and relaxed,
Speaker 1: and then I'd have to put it back on so
Speaker 1: I could go to the bathroom. Then I have to
Speaker 1: take it off. So it really is an isolating show
Speaker 1: where you don't get to tell anyone you're doing it.
Speaker 1: I mean I told Noah and Andrew because it was
Speaker 1: just you know, conflicting with schedules, and I knew that
Speaker 1: they would keep it a secret. And then I told
Speaker 1: my parents and my boyfriend. But beyond that, like no
Speaker 1: one like the metaverse. It's like literally like you get
Speaker 1: to be in a world where people are like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, that's wild. It's the biggest show I've ever
Speaker 1: been on, arguably the biggest platform that I've ever been on,
Speaker 1: and I don't get to I didn't get to talk
Speaker 1: about it until my face came out. It's kind of nice. Well,
Speaker 1: usually we brag about everything before. My parents were just like,
Speaker 1: we can't tell anyone. I'm like, you can tell people
Speaker 1: that it's a show you like to watch and that
Speaker 1: this season is particularly it was. There was the hardest,
Speaker 1: and then I was getting grief, like you didn't tell
Speaker 1: me Nikki was on the I'm like, we signed n
Speaker 1: d ant say anything. What happened, What happens if you did,
Speaker 1: if you be so, if they found out, if they
Speaker 1: I suppose, I think it's such extremes to keep it quiet.
Speaker 1: And a secret. We even got dressed in the black. Yeah.
Speaker 1: My parents even got don't talk to me hoodies and
Speaker 1: my dad was like, they got to keep it. My
Speaker 1: day goes, I don't want this makes me anti social.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'll keep it. I want to wear them
Speaker 1: on on planes. It is a kind of aggressive, but
Speaker 1: it's um. But you couldn't. I couldn't wear that after
Speaker 1: the show. I wanted to wear it after the show
Speaker 1: because I was still I was I had to get
Speaker 1: vocal court surgery, and I was like, this is perfect,
Speaker 1: but they were like, no, that's associated with some people
Speaker 1: know that's the show. So um. But a lot of
Speaker 1: besties wrote to me being like, I know your snowstorm.
Speaker 1: You're great, congratulations. Um. But I could not. I couldn't
Speaker 1: right back to it. I couldn't confirm it. I couldn't
Speaker 1: deny it. I couldn't do any I would just go
Speaker 1: to a couple of people. I'd go, oh, I'd have
Speaker 1: to check it out. I'll see because that wasn't a lie.
Speaker 1: I did have to check it all right. I'd say
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it yet because I hadn't seen it.
Speaker 1: Doesn't feel that people knew people knew there was one person.
Speaker 1: I believe it was Karen Sanchez. Karen knew she's the bestie.
Speaker 1: They lived in Des Moines. She knew from the joke
Speaker 1: that they played on the preview where I was like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to stand too close to you, Nick,
Speaker 1: because I don't want to get Pregno, it was you
Speaker 1: from that message like, oh my god, Nikki is on
Speaker 1: the mass singer and they cited that joke as the proof. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's so. That means so much to me that, like,
Speaker 1: you know, it was nice. Though I was watching the
Speaker 1: show and this happens to me often. I totally dumped
Speaker 1: everything I did on that show out of my brain
Speaker 1: as soon as it happened. Like I didn't remember any
Speaker 1: of the jokes I made. I don't remember anything I said,
Speaker 1: like I remember the songs I sang, but any of
Speaker 1: the interactions, Like none of it was planned, Like I
Speaker 1: didn't plan on saying that to Nick. I didn't plan,
Speaker 1: Like it was just you know, I was just rolling
Speaker 1: with it. But then when I was watching it back,
Speaker 1: every single time there would be I would go, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I wish I would have made this joke,
Speaker 1: And then I would make it and I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: it's so funny, Like I am the same person I
Speaker 1: am there, like any joke, like they're just yeah every
Speaker 1: single time when you know, Jenny goes, oh one of
Speaker 1: the clues as a doormat and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's because because I get treated like that in relationship
Speaker 1: a lot or whatever. I thought of that, and I go, oh,
Speaker 1: you should have said that, and then I said it.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I forgot I even said that.
Speaker 1: So it's nice that I stood up to my own
Speaker 1: you know, potential. Do you think I thought it was funny?
Speaker 1: Final thought? Do I think Nick Cannon thought it was
Speaker 1: funny that I kept making fun of all of his babies.
Speaker 1: I don't think that he like didn't think it was funny.
Speaker 1: I think he was just like he comedian jokes. Um, yes,
Speaker 1: he is a yeah comedian with like quotes right it,
Speaker 1: but yeah he does like he does comedy like wilding
Speaker 1: and out he started out. I mean he's he's he's great.
Speaker 1: I mean he's a talented guy. Um. I don't necessarily
Speaker 1: agree with like making as many kids as possible with
Speaker 1: as many different mothers, and I know people are like,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a good dad. But it's like he
Speaker 1: can't be in all of those places. And you can
Speaker 1: give the money, but he's not going to be giving himself.
Speaker 1: Does he have I think it's fifteen at this point.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I heard joking when because he loves
Speaker 1: to make love to a woman naturally, Yeah, because everyone
Speaker 1: everyone feels that way about it. Feel better, just wear
Speaker 1: a condom. Well no, now, now it's become like a
Speaker 1: numbers thing. I made that joke when he had only
Speaker 1: eleven kids and since then fifteen. I'm not kidding you.
Speaker 1: It was eleven or twelve when that happened, when the
Speaker 1: show happened, and he said four since the summer, yeah,
Speaker 1: before on the weapon you know. Now there's a fifteenth
Speaker 1: on the way I think is the last number. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's that guy is a canon. That's crazy. That's crazy, Bobby.
Speaker 1: Where can people find your special? Your comedy special? You
Speaker 1: find it. It's free on YouTube under Helium Studios. It's
Speaker 1: called Fast Food Fireworks. Please check it out. Why is
Speaker 1: it called fast food Fireworks because of one of the
Speaker 1: jokes in there. I talk about Fast food Fireworks is
Speaker 1: like whenever you are done eating your food in bed,
Speaker 1: which is my favorite place to eat and all the
Speaker 1: crumbs and trash and catch up packets or on your
Speaker 1: fling them into the ceiling fan and they go around.
Speaker 1: It's just fun. And I like the literation. And because
Speaker 1: I do a joke about like being called like uh
Speaker 1: like a lady firefight or whatever, and this guy's like,
Speaker 1: just call it lady firefighter, and I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't think that that sounds good. And picking a title
Speaker 1: for something I don't even have firefight, yeah, And I
Speaker 1: did that, and I was like, but then I started
Speaker 1: thinking of titles and like even when I think of jokes, like,
Speaker 1: it doesn't have like an official title. So ill a sudden,
Speaker 1: like what do you want your special to be? Called? Them? Like?
Speaker 1: I don't you know what I mean? Like, so there's
Speaker 1: so many little things that when you start comedy, you're like,
Speaker 1: I just want to be funny, and then all the
Speaker 1: other things you're like, I don't know, it's not it's
Speaker 1: just like it's so hard, it's so hard to pick.
Speaker 1: I'm famous just talking about I just want to name
Speaker 1: my next special, like whatever I would name like a child,
Speaker 1: you know, like like whatever I would have named my baby,
Speaker 1: because I do I you know, everyone has three kids.
Speaker 1: But I have three specials, you know, hour long specials,
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, that's kind of like the
Speaker 1: same thing. It's about as much work goes into making them,
Speaker 1: about nine months of just kind of walking around like
Speaker 1: I'm like being in pain, yeah, being concomfortable and starting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: clothes aren't fitting. Yeah you have to buy shopping. Yeah
Speaker 1: that's that's it. You get fucked um. But so you
Speaker 1: have a special out um you also yeah, you and
Speaker 1: I played guitar during the pandemic once we we both
Speaker 1: are just like picking up trying to be like you.
Speaker 1: So you sing and you can do open mics, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've done a couple open mic music open mics. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: and it makes me so like the last time I
Speaker 1: did it on my leg it was like my first
Speaker 1: time doing stand up, Like my leg was shaking and
Speaker 1: I have I've been that nervous and forever. It was
Speaker 1: so I like it, though, Like I hate when people
Speaker 1: are like I just want to do stand up and
Speaker 1: I'm like, then do it and they like it makes
Speaker 1: me to I'm like, just show yourself that you can
Speaker 1: do it, like that's you do so much. I can't.
Speaker 1: I don't even have when people say they're they're nervous. Yeah,
Speaker 1: when they say that they're nervous, Look, I just can't
Speaker 1: do it. I'm like, we'll just try, just go up
Speaker 1: and try, and like I just couldn't get over my nerves,
Speaker 1: and I go, you could if you just have to
Speaker 1: do it. But some people are like, just set the date. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then you can always bail and you'll feel bad
Speaker 1: or whatever, but at least setting the date. That's always
Speaker 1: been my secret to overcoming everything. I used to have
Speaker 1: terrible stage right, but I just signed up for a
Speaker 1: play that I could not get out of. I didn't
Speaker 1: even know you could get out of things back in
Speaker 1: seventh grade when I signed up for you know, you
Speaker 1: could bail on everything in life. So it felt like
Speaker 1: I just have to do this. And so it's like
Speaker 1: and you really, nerves have never killed anyone, and I'm
Speaker 1: not going to die. It could, Yeah, your heart, it's
Speaker 1: not going to like that, not from doing You're not up.
Speaker 1: Why are you having sex? Why do you go for
Speaker 1: a run? Like it's the same amount of I almost
Speaker 1: had a heart attack when I did it. When when
Speaker 1: you did stand up, yeah, my mom did stand up.
Speaker 1: I'm so mad. I didn't get to see that. I
Speaker 1: was really nervous, but I don't even remember like doing it.
Speaker 1: It's that kind of makes out. Yeah, but I got
Speaker 1: through it. Now. I just wanted to do something out
Speaker 1: of my comfort zone. Yes, and I think it really
Speaker 1: did help you a lot overcome so much stuff. Now
Speaker 1: you do this question. Used to be like, so nervous
Speaker 1: about doing the podcast or being on team. Not nervous anymore,
Speaker 1: not nervous at all. I probably should be nervous. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I wanted you to get some of those nerves back
Speaker 1: a bit. No. I love that you're not nervous anymore.
Speaker 1: I just it's nerves are you know. You can't help them,
Speaker 1: but they do go away. People have nerves about stuff
Speaker 1: out there, Like you know, I always think about sex.
Speaker 1: I'm always like, I was so nervous to have sex.
Speaker 1: So was everyone wasn't everyone nervous? And then you have
Speaker 1: it and then you're like, I mean, my mom doesn't.
Speaker 1: You probably never got used to it, but carefully that much.
Speaker 1: But you eventually are just like, oh, this is the
Speaker 1: easiest thing to do in the world. Like anything is
Speaker 1: going to be difficult at first, but it's always rewarding.
Speaker 1: Though too. Yes, I do. I write my own songs.
Speaker 1: I went through a breakup. And it's weird how much
Speaker 1: like pours out of you because people are like, do
Speaker 1: you write funny songs? And I'm like, none of them
Speaker 1: like no, Like all of them are like depressing or sad.
Speaker 1: But it's fun. It's like another side of me, Like
Speaker 1: I get to be funny on stage and then writing music,
Speaker 1: and we should. I would love to sit down and
Speaker 1: look at you can look at my juvenile songs and
Speaker 1: be like these are terrible, and but at least it
Speaker 1: will get it'll give us both confidence to like try
Speaker 1: it more. Because here's what I'm bad about. I can't
Speaker 1: sing and play guitar like I try, like I'm gonna
Speaker 1: that's hard. It's so just like doing it at the
Speaker 1: same time, doing at the same time. It's so hard.
Speaker 1: But well, I also even when I just sing, I
Speaker 1: can't do it well, so doing it at the same time,
Speaker 1: Like when we played together, you're like, go ahead and try,
Speaker 1: and I was like, all right, Nikki said it, and
Speaker 1: I'll do it. And after I did, I remember even
Speaker 1: like going home and I was like she probably really
Speaker 1: hated that. Like it makes I get so I know,
Speaker 1: but that's what I'm saying, Like in my in your mind,
Speaker 1: you blow it up. Singing to me is the scariest
Speaker 1: thing in the world. I don't know why. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's embarrassing. You're like howling from your head like you're
Speaker 1: like crying. I mean, like because it's like is it
Speaker 1: because you don't think you're a good singer or because
Speaker 1: it's just too emotionally vulnerable. No, I'll be emotionally vulnerable.
Speaker 1: That's not a problem. But it's hard for me to
Speaker 1: like try to sing and then like try to hit
Speaker 1: the notes and then it's like you miss them, and
Speaker 1: then just voice teacher, you can learn how to sing.
Speaker 1: I should. I mean I went to a guitar teacher.
Speaker 1: I should go to This is the thing. People think
Speaker 1: that and I used to think this way too. You
Speaker 1: think your voice is just your voice and that either
Speaker 1: got it or you don't. Why does everything else we
Speaker 1: take lessons for it, but your voice. People are like,
Speaker 1: you're either a singer or you're not. You can you
Speaker 1: can learn how to use it. I've improved so much
Speaker 1: just from simple instruction, learning how to breathe differently, learning
Speaker 1: how to just position my body and I still have
Speaker 1: so much more to learn. Like I still listen to
Speaker 1: my voice and I'm like God because you hear good
Speaker 1: singers and I know they're doing something different with their
Speaker 1: mouth and with their breathing and with their diaphragm. I
Speaker 1: have all the same components in my body. I have
Speaker 1: healthy chords. Now there's nothing holding me back except I'm
Speaker 1: not using my instrument the same way. We all have
Speaker 1: the same instrument. And then yeah, there's some people that
Speaker 1: are like truly tone deaf. But if you are not
Speaker 1: tone death, you have an instrument you can learn how
Speaker 1: to use better, and I'll practice. I do want to
Speaker 1: practice more because I I mean, I play guitar. I've
Speaker 1: gotten way during the pandemic. I got monumentally better at guitar,
Speaker 1: and that's fun. To express yourself with something beyond yourself
Speaker 1: is so fun for me. Is the only way I
Speaker 1: get good at anything. And like, I don't like to
Speaker 1: practice alone. I need to like show it immediately to someone,
Speaker 1: and so practicing on my Instagram live. Shout out to
Speaker 1: everyone who watches those um and thes. Do that kill
Speaker 1: your that clean version you did? I love that version
Speaker 1: of you. I literally went and listen to Taylor Swiss version,
Speaker 1: I was like, I like this, but I like your
Speaker 1: acoustic versions. So that was the first time I had
Speaker 1: played it too, So that's really nice. I love going.
Speaker 1: It's my favorite thing to do besides the podcast is
Speaker 1: going on Instagram live and playing guitar poorly and singing
Speaker 1: a little bit better than that. Um. And it's just
Speaker 1: like it's made me get so good because some people
Speaker 1: sometimes tune in and they're like, WHOA, she's gotten a
Speaker 1: lot better, And like, all I've done is this. But
Speaker 1: when you are expected to perform and when there's people
Speaker 1: watching the same when I go to Starbucks to write,
Speaker 1: there's people around me, and I feel like I have
Speaker 1: to look like a writer. I'm writing in my apartment,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get distracted. I need to perform. It makes me,
Speaker 1: you know, even sex I pull up the curtains. I'm like,
Speaker 1: maybe someone will be watching this. He's someone Maybe someone
Speaker 1: will tune in from across I sure got it would
Speaker 1: probably make me a better better in anyway, if I
Speaker 1: thought maybe there was someone like that had a hidden
Speaker 1: camera something. If I just was scared that maybe there
Speaker 1: was a hidden camera, I might perform better. If you've
Speaker 1: ever watched a video yourself and sex. No, I have,
Speaker 1: and it's immediately you're like, oh, it's like that episode
Speaker 1: of You're kind of like huh. Like for a second,
Speaker 1: you're like, this will be cool, and then later you're like,
Speaker 1: you and the person are like, let's burn our phones.
Speaker 1: Like let's say one time I did said that there
Speaker 1: was someone that took some footage and they showed it
Speaker 1: to me and I did not want to see it.
Speaker 1: I would have been like, no, I don't want to
Speaker 1: see this, but he showed it to me, like, hey,
Speaker 1: look at this, and I thought it was someone else
Speaker 1: and I was like, holy sh it, that's really hot.
Speaker 1: Who is that? And it was me? And I was like,
Speaker 1: I work in it. I was like I was because
Speaker 1: I would never I know, that's not going to be
Speaker 1: something I want to see, you know. But I can't
Speaker 1: even watch my stand up, so this is not nothing
Speaker 1: new to me. Anything I'm good at I don't want
Speaker 1: to watch sex is no different. Okay, Mom's here gotta go.
