Speaker 1: Nicky Podcast. Here's Nikki. Hello, it's me. It's Nicky. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the show. Here I am, It's Nicky. There's a podcast.
Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday to y'all. I know it's Wednesday because we
Speaker 1: did Reddit yesterday and I know Reddit's on Tuesday. That's
Speaker 1: how I keep track of the week. How many days
Speaker 1: after we talked about my Reddit fines, Tom keepit track.
Speaker 1: Today's podcast might be out a little bit later than usual,
Speaker 1: not sure, but I just want to say that we
Speaker 1: could have skipped it today. It's late in the day.
Speaker 1: We weren't able to do it this morning because I
Speaker 1: perfect strangers too needed us both so early. But um,
Speaker 1: we said, no, we want to do a pod. We
Speaker 1: need to do a pod. We gave them three last
Speaker 1: week because of the holiday. What holiday was it, President? Yep,
Speaker 1: it was President and um, so we're doing it and
Speaker 1: it's going to be a special one. We're not gonna
Speaker 1: talk about murder unless it comes up, right. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's probably five topics that always come up, right. Well,
Speaker 1: I just want to come with them things, okay, murders
Speaker 1: and Columbine. Just saying that that you didn't say, man,
Speaker 1: we did not get to it. I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: we can maybe get to it today. What one of
Speaker 1: our best seas wrote pieces are Columbine and we still
Speaker 1: haven't talked about Taylor Sif's heavy metal. Maybe we never
Speaker 1: get to those who knows what they're coming. We're coming
Speaker 1: up in a year of the podcast. We have a
Speaker 1: lot of people who obviously on during fan threats, we
Speaker 1: always hear people that are like, I've been listening since
Speaker 1: I'm an O G fan, Like started at the beginning.
Speaker 1: Some of you are working way back to put together
Speaker 1: the pieces of the inside jokes that we ourselves don't
Speaker 1: even know the origin of at this point. But Um,
Speaker 1: regardless of it, we we just love our fans so much.
Speaker 1: And you've heard me say it before. But if you're
Speaker 1: listening to this podcast, either it's your first time, we're
Speaker 1: your last time, I'll miss you. But I really appreciate
Speaker 1: you guys given us a shot and having us in
Speaker 1: your lives. And I wanted to follow up on one
Speaker 1: thing that I'm dying to know about just for my
Speaker 1: own personal interest. No uh, Um hung out with my
Speaker 1: best friend from high school, who I talked about earlier
Speaker 1: this week. Her curtain was threatening to close. Halla also
Speaker 1: known as him because my friends in high school we
Speaker 1: just got lazy saying things. So we went from Laura Holly,
Speaker 1: which is her name, to Halla to it's harder to
Speaker 1: say it in Laura Holly. We edited a lot over it.
Speaker 1: We didn't even know what that meant. Um. She was
Speaker 1: the goalie of our field hockey team, the one that
Speaker 1: I wasn't on. After you know, you're playing hard to
Speaker 1: get on the bench, I could play. I mean part
Speaker 1: of you wanted to be competitive with it. I feel like, no, no,
Speaker 1: I know, I know when I'm not good at something.
Speaker 1: I just know, do what you're good at, be fun
Speaker 1: to be around. You're not athletic, I know, but it wasn't.
Speaker 1: I'm not good at coordination and balls. I can I disagree.
Speaker 1: I just not playing golf. You have a good golf swing,
Speaker 1: but I'm you know what, I get so nervous on
Speaker 1: the field, like if it's going to come to me,
Speaker 1: like even during kickball back in the day, in high school,
Speaker 1: like or middle school, grade school, even yep, and the
Speaker 1: guys are gonna make fun of me. The girls were
Speaker 1: always on my side. I never felt like that, but
Speaker 1: it just and then by high school, I think with
Speaker 1: field hockey. I wanted to do it because my friends
Speaker 1: were doing it. It's fun and you run a lot.
Speaker 1: I like the running part of it, and I loved
Speaker 1: how good water tasted because it would be so hot
Speaker 1: I've not I always think back to just chugging my
Speaker 1: iced up iglue cooler of water and thinking, this is
Speaker 1: the best taste I've ever had, and how satisfying the
Speaker 1: end of practice was. And I kind of missed that.
Speaker 1: But when I got since once that made me not
Speaker 1: be able to walk, I was so grateful that I
Speaker 1: had to quit. You know, it was amazing before football,
Speaker 1: and I think they probably do that a lot in
Speaker 1: a lot of high schools. They the parents would make
Speaker 1: pasta for the kids before before a game, and that's
Speaker 1: something I'm like, literally salavati right now because I'm just
Speaker 1: thinking about how good the fucking I always got. What's
Speaker 1: the one to start within our um roller station? Big
Speaker 1: z D? It really was big ZD. Other way I thought, sorry,
Speaker 1: but but it was big z D. And honestly, I
Speaker 1: don't know if this was the best food to eat
Speaker 1: before this whole carbo loading. I think that was in
Speaker 1: early two thousand's, late nineties. Got a game in thirty minutes.
Speaker 1: Take down this fucking pizza. It's like really, But also,
Speaker 1: don't go swimming if you've just eaten, you know, like
Speaker 1: which isn't You can get a cramp and drown, so
Speaker 1: what is it um? And also if it's shark get you,
Speaker 1: you don't want them to have a second meal. So
Speaker 1: that's why you really don't eat before. You don't want
Speaker 1: to like give they tell you don't go in if
Speaker 1: you're bleeding, or if you don't want to be like
Speaker 1: one of those little kinderballs where there's once he bites
Speaker 1: you open, there's another surprise of some brigatony. I've been
Speaker 1: thinking about the guy a lot more than if we
Speaker 1: haven't made jokes about his tragic passing. I want to
Speaker 1: say that jokes keep someone alive sometimes tragic thing to
Speaker 1: think about. And I'm we're never using him for fodder,
Speaker 1: that is not it. But we look out at the
Speaker 1: ocean every day, yes and of thrashing waters and a
Speaker 1: floating towards swimming alone yesterday, what do I know? I go,
Speaker 1: haven't you you said? Haven't you heard of of Simon
Speaker 1: Simon cal who's taller, younger. What I was going to
Speaker 1: say about field hockey is that Hollow was our our
Speaker 1: goalie and she's just we came up with this thing
Speaker 1: of like hallo, don't cur because she would just be
Speaker 1: like I don't care. In sixth or she wore a
Speaker 1: shirt that we made fun of that said whatever, and
Speaker 1: we're like, oh, Hollow, really this was this was popular
Speaker 1: in sixth grade. It was this was we would make
Speaker 1: fun of people that would go like, whatever, you're a moron,
Speaker 1: just walk away, and you would do the W turn
Speaker 1: it to an M and then just move your fingers
Speaker 1: to make it walk and then Hollow shut up one
Speaker 1: day with a cat in the hat hat on. Remember
Speaker 1: those they were pretty cool. I remember she got a
Speaker 1: cat in the hat and then she was wearing shirts
Speaker 1: like whenever, and we were just like, when did you
Speaker 1: become like so like counterculture like sixth grade like suburb
Speaker 1: we we you know, we're just searching for any kind
Speaker 1: of identity, and um it turned into holod I do
Speaker 1: love when you wear a ridiculous hat and then you
Speaker 1: already have a comeback on your shirt, like you are
Speaker 1: already anticipating people making fun of your hat and you whatever,
Speaker 1: whatever it all said, it's all here. It is good
Speaker 1: that your shorts are just kidding it just said umbro
Speaker 1: You're like, bro, what's your bum inside inside real inside? Um, Like,
Speaker 1: that's not even a hammed that's a ham river roast
Speaker 1: beef cloud. Um No, how was it hanging out with Holla?
Speaker 1: And did she occur? And did she say anything about Nikki?
Speaker 1: Did our curtain clothes? What did she say about Nikki
Speaker 1: in high school? Anything that we don't know? Um, I
Speaker 1: guess I heard more about like, um, your friendships in college,
Speaker 1: we're talking about that and um. So she hashtaged in
Speaker 1: our text as we were anticipating the morning because like
Speaker 1: she's in temper are zone. She was in temperate Arizona
Speaker 1: and we met there. So I had like this long
Speaker 1: drive and it was the first time I was meeting
Speaker 1: her in person. We had just only been texting here
Speaker 1: and there, and she hashtag did blind date? And I
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, I do feel like I'm
Speaker 1: about to go on a blind date, like a friendship
Speaker 1: blind date, because I really commended you on doing this.
Speaker 1: I think, well, I was a fan of hers from
Speaker 1: like all the stories that you tell about her. And
Speaker 1: then when I came over, you had sent her a
Speaker 1: message that I'm here and I say hello, and then um,
Speaker 1: you tagged her on Instagram and I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna start following her and like say hi. And
Speaker 1: she she's like the coolest person over text. She's very
Speaker 1: social and you could just feel her like like good
Speaker 1: vibes even in like a text message. She's just awesome.
Speaker 1: She's a good hang I got really lucky. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: you had fun, But you that that is scary to
Speaker 1: me going on a new date with a new friend,
Speaker 1: Like it's all very intimidating. I really commend you for
Speaker 1: being like, I'm open to hang out with someone new
Speaker 1: and like drive to meet them, and I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's all that that that all that makes me nervous.
Speaker 1: I'm sure some of our listeners can probably relate to
Speaker 1: that nervousness of like a new friend. Yeah, and also,
Speaker 1: I'm very like, I feel like my natural inclination is
Speaker 1: to be antisocial. So this was a really good way
Speaker 1: to push myself out of that. And even though on
Speaker 1: the surface we might not have anything in common or
Speaker 1: we come from two very different places, after we spend
Speaker 1: time together, we actually learned that we have a lot
Speaker 1: in common. And um, isn't that sweet? It was so great?
Speaker 1: And then after the fact, like music did you listen
Speaker 1: to on the way there? I'm just wondering. Oh, that's
Speaker 1: a good point. That's a good question. What do you
Speaker 1: listen to before going to meet a new friend and
Speaker 1: you're kind of nervous, Well, there's a new band, but
Speaker 1: I like the crypt Death Crypta was it? I was.
Speaker 1: They're called Unprocessed, so I was listening to getting familiar
Speaker 1: with their catalog. Okay, you know what. I commend you
Speaker 1: on all of this because I am someone who not
Speaker 1: only new friends I want to meet, I'll meet someone
Speaker 1: in person. I'll go Okay, I already know you like.
Speaker 1: The idea of meeting someone line and even online dating
Speaker 1: was very hard for me of like what if this
Speaker 1: person shows up and they totally suck and they're so
Speaker 1: different on text and it's awkward. I don't all these
Speaker 1: dumb fears that are never realized because you can always
Speaker 1: just go I you know, I did this once and
Speaker 1: I want to do it again. But also listening to
Speaker 1: new music I find very hard to do. And um,
Speaker 1: I'm pressed with all of it, and I'm sotog and
Speaker 1: a new friend but you know how Noah just said,
Speaker 1: I have a tendency to be antisocial, So I wanted
Speaker 1: to do the thing that was the opposite of that,
Speaker 1: that would challenge that. Like, That's what I love about
Speaker 1: Noah is that she in the face of those things,
Speaker 1: you do the opposite, Like you are aware of the things.
Speaker 1: You're not just stuck in your ways of like, well,
Speaker 1: this is just the way I am. You're like I,
Speaker 1: I can tell him missing out on something, and I
Speaker 1: don't want to just be that way, and and or
Speaker 1: if I am that way, I want to know that
Speaker 1: I at least tried the other way. Like when I
Speaker 1: went canoeing one time in my adulthood in recent time,
Speaker 1: I was just I say, I hate this all the time.
Speaker 1: Let me get another shot to see if it really
Speaker 1: holds up that I hate it. And it turns out
Speaker 1: I was totally right that I was going. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean I I there were parts of it I liked,
Speaker 1: but for the most part, it wasn't something I would
Speaker 1: pick to do again. And at least you can say
Speaker 1: you did it. I went with my brother in law
Speaker 1: with his big Muddy adventures. It's to St. Louis Company.
Speaker 1: If you're coming to St. Louis, and you want to
Speaker 1: do it outdoors, the activity and like canoe on the
Speaker 1: Mississippi River, like past the arch and all the ship
Speaker 1: that people don't ever get to do big muddy adventures.
Speaker 1: Shout out to them, but not my not my bag
Speaker 1: and I all my last podcast, um, when I was
Speaker 1: doing it over covid, I had described one of the
Speaker 1: guys that was on the canoe trip with us as
Speaker 1: a wet old man because he was doing this demo
Speaker 1: of showing us like, if you fall out of the canoe,
Speaker 1: here's how you get into another one. So we jumped
Speaker 1: out of this and came over to arts and I
Speaker 1: just did it. My sister and I were just like,
Speaker 1: we just don't want to deal with like a wet
Speaker 1: man because you're this big. So we called this guy
Speaker 1: a wet old man on my podcast. I had no
Speaker 1: idea that he would ever hear it, but of course
Speaker 1: someone told him that I called him, uh, wet old man,
Speaker 1: so then this is really funny. So then I felt
Speaker 1: so embarrassed. I didn't want to see this guy again,
Speaker 1: even though he works for the company that my brother
Speaker 1: in law is at and I do run into him
Speaker 1: because he's there all the time. So I was so embarrassed.
Speaker 1: He thought it was funny. Everyone was like, no, he
Speaker 1: gets it as a joke. So one day I was
Speaker 1: visiting my brother in law's office and had this white
Speaker 1: board with all this like to do list, and so
Speaker 1: I drew up I wanted to do list. I wrote
Speaker 1: like in the middle of it, I I wrote dry
Speaker 1: out the wet old Man. And then there was one
Speaker 1: night when the wet old Man got a little drunk
Speaker 1: at a at some kind of Christmas party or something,
Speaker 1: and the next day he had overslept for work, and
Speaker 1: so he later saw that and thought it was them.
Speaker 1: It was everyone planning an intervention to dry him. And
Speaker 1: so he goes message received Matt, Message received, and Matt
Speaker 1: was like, what do you mean. He's like and it
Speaker 1: was a total misc like miscommunication and the wet old man,
Speaker 1: who is not even old and he's actually there was
Speaker 1: one time where I was like, who's that? And I
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, that's what old man. He
Speaker 1: looks already just got his two year chip. But he yeah,
Speaker 1: he said to Matt message received, I got it, and
Speaker 1: that's like, what are you talking about? He's like, I
Speaker 1: saw what you wrote on the board? I get it?
Speaker 1: You know what? Got it? And he's like, wait, I
Speaker 1: don't know, and he goes because I didn't even tell
Speaker 1: mad I wrote that, I don't think. And so it
Speaker 1: was just sitting up there, you know on white boards
Speaker 1: when people write stuff, and it's like you it looks
Speaker 1: like an active board, but it's all been sitting there forever.
Speaker 1: So um yeah, yeah, it was really funny that he
Speaker 1: was just like, got it. That's like wait, He's like,
Speaker 1: I got to sign like they would front of about
Speaker 1: his drinking by writing dry out wet old man. That's
Speaker 1: the idea of his intervention. His intervention is just him
Speaker 1: like accidentally walking in on the board and the boards like, look,
Speaker 1: you've got a problem. I freaking I speaking of dry
Speaker 1: race board. I remember Rusty. Back to Rusty, his aunt
Speaker 1: one time sat us down. She opened like an office
Speaker 1: and she sat us down and she brought us into
Speaker 1: this room real quiet, like you guys gotta see this,
Speaker 1: and we're like what the funk? Like what it could
Speaker 1: it be? And we walk in and it's like a
Speaker 1: conference room. Nothing else in there except the dry race board.
Speaker 1: And she writes Rusty on the board and she takes
Speaker 1: to your racer and she erase it and goes, huh no,
Speaker 1: I swear to God, this is what you're doing with
Speaker 1: your life. No, no, you're She was literally just bragging,
Speaker 1: like case, what was the first time she was seeing
Speaker 1: a dry race board? Oh? I thought she was doing
Speaker 1: an intervention like see you now look what drugs can
Speaker 1: do to you. I thought it was another dry erase
Speaker 1: board intervention story. Look, if you ever adds, how great
Speaker 1: is that crisp feeling of like writing with one for
Speaker 1: the first time? What about when they raise the teacher
Speaker 1: would erase it and there would be one little like
Speaker 1: the tail of the t would still be on it,
Speaker 1: and it's all you can think about. I love that.
Speaker 1: That's such a common I know, but I'm a lefty,
Speaker 1: so it would come off that's the problem. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: any lefty out there knows your fucking hand here just done. Yeah.
Speaker 1: People are like, this is a lefties understand. It was
Speaker 1: just a guy's hand that was yeah, yeah, black hand. Yeah. Well, um,
Speaker 1: today we're gonna do something different. We're you during today's
Speaker 1: perfect Strangers. Shoot you put out a call on our Instagram.
Speaker 1: I guess too. For for bestis to send in questions
Speaker 1: for us Q and a open to anything. What's so funny?
Speaker 1: Is your ass fun in? Thumbs down? I swear to
Speaker 1: God and I'm looking at you. My ass doesn't want
Speaker 1: to do it. I know your ass doesn't, but maybe
Speaker 1: your brain does. But you were looking at me. I'm
Speaker 1: looking at you, looking at the other people on perfect Strangers,
Speaker 1: and I'm going, was so sweaty out there, and I
Speaker 1: sat on my phone and it but dialed you down.
Speaker 1: It thumbed down has an opinion where Noah goes yeah,
Speaker 1: it goes Noah goes open to anything, like like, is
Speaker 1: that what you want to name the segment? And you
Speaker 1: just go thumbs down. I'm looking at you, like, how
Speaker 1: is she doing everything? And then I thought maybe Robin
Speaker 1: had your phone. That's what I thought, And I thought
Speaker 1: you was working with us, got it? And then you
Speaker 1: start doing join FaceTime calls. I'm like, what the I'm
Speaker 1: so glad it called you guys instead of anyone, and
Speaker 1: I love I facetimed you with my Literally I was
Speaker 1: sitting on my phone with my bare ass because my
Speaker 1: dress was so short. I mean not that you would
Speaker 1: have been able to see anything, but I could have
Speaker 1: FaceTime nearly and ASKT whoa and yeah, that's a lot
Speaker 1: that's up closing personal boys, I'm so glad it didn't
Speaker 1: pick up for you. Was it picking up? Could you
Speaker 1: see anything? Could you hear anything? I mean there was
Speaker 1: I thought something had happened. You're visually when you do
Speaker 1: when you do a FaceTime call, it's you know, especially
Speaker 1: with me and Andrew was a group calls. I was like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: I hope everything's all right. So I picked up and
Speaker 1: I did video. You were on audio and I started
Speaker 1: hearing stuff. But like so I just hung up real
Speaker 1: quick because I felt like it was like an invasion
Speaker 1: of your privacy, because I realized that it was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: at least I wonder how many bud dials have like
Speaker 1: someone's got caught cheating or caught like doing some or
Speaker 1: you're just talking some stories from our best days about that,
Speaker 1: like the worst times you've called. I mean there's always
Speaker 1: the story of people talking about someone and then you
Speaker 1: you send it to that person. Oh my god, but
Speaker 1: I do want to say that, Um, during the what
Speaker 1: was I just gonna say, hold on daring the during
Speaker 1: the Perfect Strangers taping, Fuck, it was something good. Um, you,
Speaker 1: Oh my brain working. No not well, um no, just okay,
Speaker 1: never mind. Well, I'm sorry that I thought down that. Oh,
Speaker 1: just the idea that I would be just like, oh,
Speaker 1: I know what I wanted to say. I want to say.
Speaker 1: Today was full of funk ups for me. You thought
Speaker 1: I might be dead this morning because I didn't wake
Speaker 1: up to my alarm clock. I didn't. Yeah, like Robin
Speaker 1: was so scared. She's banging on my door for twenty minutes,
Speaker 1: she said. And finally her pounding like you know, was
Speaker 1: in my dream because I was getting pounded in my
Speaker 1: dream too, and so it started to sound like knock
Speaker 1: on wood um, and I woke up, but just to
Speaker 1: have my friend. I'm like, when your friends think because
Speaker 1: you are not waking up that you've killed yourself, you
Speaker 1: aren't doing something right, like something's wrong. And so I
Speaker 1: told Robin, I go, I would never kill myself before
Speaker 1: killed yourself on the plane that one time. I know,
Speaker 1: I thought you've killed yourself. I know, I promise you
Speaker 1: I'm never going to kill myself. So if I do
Speaker 1: die via suicide, it's like an Epstein situation, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like I had an island for pedophiles.
Speaker 1: That's what I mean by that. But if um it
Speaker 1: was funny today because I go murder, I've already came up.
Speaker 1: I go. You thought I go. You thought I'd kill
Speaker 1: myself and Andrewes, No, I just thought you died of
Speaker 1: old age, which then you killed yourself after you heard yes,
Speaker 1: So good, Okay, Well, we have a lot of questions
Speaker 1: to get through today. That's what we're doing on the
Speaker 1: show today. What you know, what how old Jesus was
Speaker 1: when he died three? You know what the age to
Speaker 1: life expectency back then was? What wait, so he died young,
Speaker 1: so two years before the life expectancy, so he would
Speaker 1: have he was due to die into you. I just
Speaker 1: saw a bid on this and you could have waited
Speaker 1: it out. He would have been dead in two years.
Speaker 1: And then no, it would even be talking about him anymore.
Speaker 1: What would you die of back then? Just probably flew
Speaker 1: stuff looking too hot on a cross or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, all right, well that's that's someone's bite. Leprosy.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, maybe leprosy one really, Oh my god, if
Speaker 1: you've seen pictures of people with leprosy, just it's it's bad.
Speaker 1: There's always these photos. It was life was already so
Speaker 1: hard back there, back then that to walk around with
Speaker 1: an open wounds on your face, and then you would
Speaker 1: have you get shipped to an island. Didn't they end
Speaker 1: up going to like being shipped to like Hawaii or something?
Speaker 1: I hope so at least it was like tropical I
Speaker 1: remember there was a movie where they were lepers and
Speaker 1: they were like out on that was Leopards and it
Speaker 1: was Jungle Books. That was different. Yeah, but you questions
Speaker 1: in one second coming back right after this game coming
Speaker 1: in now that was a leprechn Jennifer Aniston movie. Oh,
Speaker 1: I thought it was. Um, we're back, We're going to
Speaker 1: answer your questions. We got a lot on Instagram. Um, no,
Speaker 1: are you going to take us through these? I haven't
Speaker 1: seen any of them. Andrew saw a lot of them.
Speaker 1: He said, there's enough to like take us into. You know,
Speaker 1: we could do that. I. Yeah, well, let's let's get
Speaker 1: to some of them. How about Andrew and I do it?
Speaker 1: I love it, like, well we'll ping pong rather, No,
Speaker 1: you can pick go ahead. No, honestly, you can have
Speaker 1: this in the news. I won't have anything. I love
Speaker 1: that guy. No, no, no, it's fine. I just like
Speaker 1: won't eat or like, you know, the guy with the
Speaker 1: cat in the hat hat and whatever shirt. Yeah, whatever, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's cool whatever your shirt. Alright, alright, know what's the
Speaker 1: first question? Okay, so from Carlito burrito one mac and
Speaker 1: cheese or oatmeal. I mean I'm gonna go oatmeal. You
Speaker 1: know that mac and cheese. I mean those are such
Speaker 1: different foods. Not vegan, but if I'm going with, like
Speaker 1: in a world where you know, health is not concerned,
Speaker 1: mac and cheese. Ya, mac and cheese all day, Kraft,
Speaker 1: double up the cheese. Put in more milk, yes, oh,
Speaker 1: put in more milk. I mean I wonder what mac
Speaker 1: and cheese is like with almond milk or like an
Speaker 1: oat milk or what you would even use the best mache. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just cheese and it's great. I like cold mac
Speaker 1: and cheese actually next day. Oh yeah, oh my god.
Speaker 1: And everyone always says that mac and cheese sounds like
Speaker 1: fingering a girl or something like that, or like a
Speaker 1: wet pussy or whatever. Have you ever heard that? No,
Speaker 1: but I guess it's a mac inside some cheese. No,
Speaker 1: it's like when you squish your finger. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's sounds like a wet pus. What about you know,
Speaker 1: what do you like your pusses to sound? Probably go
Speaker 1: for the cheese pus, all right, yeah, just wet, sloppy.
Speaker 1: What's your favorite kind of mac and cheese? There is,
Speaker 1: I guess a lot of different kinds. I just you know,
Speaker 1: I really like I don't like eating broccoli unless it's
Speaker 1: in mac and cheese. Broccoli to it? Oh yeah, Why
Speaker 1: aren't more things added to baccan cheese than just bacon broccoli?
Speaker 1: What else is added to it? Oh? Hot dogs? No? No, no,
Speaker 1: that's pork and beans. That's really good. That was a
Speaker 1: big meal. And when I was a kid, I used
Speaker 1: to do the instant mac and cheese where you just
Speaker 1: you know, peel the lid back on the cup. I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, what's why is that so much worse? Microwave
Speaker 1: thing is an art, and I'm really good at it.
Speaker 1: I have to say, I know exactly how much time
Speaker 1: with your bagel bites and pizza rolls. What are you doing? Oh?
Speaker 1: I gotta put those oven because those get chewy. Those
Speaker 1: bagel bites to get are too chewy, and then they're
Speaker 1: inedible there you literally can't get through them. I think
Speaker 1: I'd like to think that like song, like you know,
Speaker 1: you know you're an adult? What and they're a song?
Speaker 1: This is growing up? I guess this is growing up.
Speaker 1: I honestly felt like I was finally an mature adult
Speaker 1: when I would put bagel bites in the oven because
Speaker 1: I was a microp. Anytime I use the oven, I
Speaker 1: feel like I should I could run for president. I
Speaker 1: feel like I should be, you know, at some global
Speaker 1: summit of some sort. Dude, I didn't use a big
Speaker 1: oven until recently. And then remember the pizza rack incident.
Speaker 1: I mean we you didn't know how to get things
Speaker 1: out of it. You could put things in it, pizza rack,
Speaker 1: just in pizza gate. Okay, next question, we're off to
Speaker 1: some really question. That's an interesting question. Yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: head scratcher. Okay, here's a here's a good one from
Speaker 1: Hank's daughter. Have Nikki, Andrew or Noah ever had an
Speaker 1: obsessive person in your life or been stocked? Thanks? Been docked?
Speaker 1: What does that mean? No? Stars? When you stop? Oh,
Speaker 1: you know what, this is not the place I would
Speaker 1: talk about it if I had been, you know, because
Speaker 1: usually stalkers are he's he's offering he's like, do you
Speaker 1: guys want There's a difference I think between like online
Speaker 1: stock first person stock. I'm sure you've had some friends
Speaker 1: obsessed with you that work got a little weird. I've
Speaker 1: never especially the more you become a celebrity. It hasn't happened.
Speaker 1: I don't I really don't want it to. And um,
Speaker 1: there have been people that I could tell are like Nikki,
Speaker 1: I love you so much like they they think we
Speaker 1: have a relationship that we don't um based on whatever
Speaker 1: they saw or something. And that's usually really law Like
Speaker 1: I don't even read it because I don't want to
Speaker 1: let it in because there's nothing I can do about it. Um.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of been the only times. And then
Speaker 1: we've had a couple of incidents on the road that
Speaker 1: I don't really want to talk about that have been terrifying.
Speaker 1: No to the one time though that there was a
Speaker 1: guy that came to the meet and greet I still
Speaker 1: used the thing that he eventually pulled out. He was
Speaker 1: this guy he was in l A, I think at
Speaker 1: the Ace Hotel. Anything about the scene, you would think
Speaker 1: he's got something scary. He just didn't look like he
Speaker 1: was like a norm like one of my fans. He
Speaker 1: was there at the show, Loan, he was at the
Speaker 1: meet and greet. He went to the end so he
Speaker 1: could have more time with me. You could tell he
Speaker 1: was like hanging back in the line, which is a
Speaker 1: lot of things that stocker people do. Oh man, I
Speaker 1: had another stalker, not a stalker, but a guy that
Speaker 1: I had to you know, I couldn't meet people after
Speaker 1: the show because he was there a couple of times.
Speaker 1: Um that was in my club club days. But this guy,
Speaker 1: he was so he ended up being so sweet and
Speaker 1: just like kind of eccentric looking. But he had a
Speaker 1: bag of things he wanted to give me, and one
Speaker 1: of them was jeans with a bunch of like drawings
Speaker 1: on them that had nothing to do with me or
Speaker 1: him or anyone. They were just means he found. Another
Speaker 1: was like a random old shirt that he found that
Speaker 1: it was like it wouldn't even fit me. The jeans
Speaker 1: were children's jeans, by the way, Like I was flattered
Speaker 1: that he thought they would fit me. And then at
Speaker 1: the very end, he's rummaging around this bag. Noah, and
Speaker 1: it's me, Andrew, Matt and a meal all just kind
Speaker 1: of Andrew and Matt and a Meal are already like
Speaker 1: tired of this guy's ship. It's the end of the
Speaker 1: meet and great, they're like they're just like suspect of him.
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to be nice because I'm like, maybe
Speaker 1: he's just like special and and so I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: thank you so much. What else do you have? And
Speaker 1: he's he's rooting around and it seems like he was
Speaker 1: like gonna be like and one more thing gone. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's what we all thought, separately, all of us, because
Speaker 1: he was searching this bag that didn't seem to be
Speaker 1: like there's not much in it. It seemed like he
Speaker 1: was waiting to get the to like put it right
Speaker 1: in his like to hold it the right way, or
Speaker 1: to like undo it. Whatever you do, how do you
Speaker 1: take the how do you a gun or knife or
Speaker 1: a gun with a knife on the end of it
Speaker 1: like a bayonet and trump and so he but then
Speaker 1: he pulls out a brush, and honestly, I screamed, I
Speaker 1: know U, Matt. It was funny because Matt was like,
Speaker 1: I was ready to tackle the guy. I was. It
Speaker 1: was seconds away from tackling the guy. And a Meal
Speaker 1: and Andrew were like, I was ready to run they
Speaker 1: were Dixie Chicks ready to go out of there quick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he was like, it's just a brush and there
Speaker 1: was no hair in it. It was new, and honestly,
Speaker 1: I fucking loved the brush and I still use it
Speaker 1: to this day. It was like a Goodie brush, is
Speaker 1: what the brand was, and I've never seen one like it,
Speaker 1: and I have it with me here, So jokes on us,
Speaker 1: I know. I I remember getting a brush and being
Speaker 1: like I don't even want to touch this thing, and
Speaker 1: then I looked at it and I was like, I
Speaker 1: kind of love this, and so thanks to that guy. No.
Speaker 1: Have you ever had any kind of situations that made
Speaker 1: you scared? Um? Well, situation that made me scared. Yes. Um.
Speaker 1: One time I was walking home from elementary school and uh,
Speaker 1: I felt like this guy following me, and um, there
Speaker 1: was like a corner store that I used to go
Speaker 1: to all the time. He was Mr Kim's grocery store.
Speaker 1: So I was like, I'm just gonna go in the
Speaker 1: grocery store and I'll see because he had been following
Speaker 1: me for a couple of blocks. So I went in
Speaker 1: and the guy stopped in front of the store with
Speaker 1: his back face to the door. And I was like,
Speaker 1: oh no, so I snuck out and I ran and
Speaker 1: then um, I just like looked from behind the car
Speaker 1: and I saw him going into the store and then
Speaker 1: I just ran home. Oh my god. It's good that
Speaker 1: you're aware. Yeah, I would have suggested to just like
Speaker 1: stay there and tell Mr Kim and wait instead of
Speaker 1: like try to out run. But I'm glad that you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you just have you ever felt that like someone's watching you?
Speaker 1: And like been right about it? Why do we know?
Speaker 1: Because we have senses Because we were fucking caveman. We
Speaker 1: had to give away from cyber tooth same cyber tooth tigers.
Speaker 1: That sounds like a great like um virus protection service, right,
Speaker 1: it sounds like another saber tooth tiger like joke because
Speaker 1: the tooth coming out of the guy's nose. I said,
Speaker 1: he was like a saber tooth. No, I don't think
Speaker 1: it was that. I think it was long ago. I
Speaker 1: think no, it was way back. Some best people know
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. There was a saber tooth tiger
Speaker 1: joke on the show Ham Drip. Wait so you wait,
Speaker 1: so you think that we have you ever felt that
Speaker 1: someone watching you? Know? But well, yeah, I mean in
Speaker 1: New York. There's been times where I've been on the
Speaker 1: street and I'm like, is this person following me? Anytime
Speaker 1: someone has a carry on or a roller bag on
Speaker 1: the street, I always feel like they're chasing me. I
Speaker 1: hate that. I like that because that means that they
Speaker 1: because you can just hear that. I just hate that
Speaker 1: sounds so much. It's like one of my least fit
Speaker 1: I'll stop and wait until they walk like six blocks.
Speaker 1: This is a new thing I'm learning about you, is
Speaker 1: that you don't like certain sounds. I don't like the
Speaker 1: sound of that. I don't like the sound of air conditioning,
Speaker 1: and only the sound of shitty fans. Okay, nice fans.
Speaker 1: Though this one overhead is that bothering you? It's not
Speaker 1: bothering me. But yeah, he has a fucking weird look
Speaker 1: on him, sucking old cybertooth fan. So called back end
Speaker 1: of a real quick thirty seconds ago. Um so uh no,
Speaker 1: but I had a guy, so this girlfriend. I had
Speaker 1: a crazy like ex girlfriend who was um who faked
Speaker 1: having a pregnancy. She said it was and it would
Speaker 1: end up being like a topical or something, which is
Speaker 1: like when it's outside. But I think she made it
Speaker 1: all up and she was just nuts. He was nuts,
Speaker 1: And she had an ex crazy boyfriend. Like I thought
Speaker 1: you had only had like two girlfriends, who is this one?
Speaker 1: This one was not long, it was like four months anyway,
Speaker 1: So she had a crazy ex boyfriend crazy like when
Speaker 1: we were dating, like he like at any moment, he
Speaker 1: would like call her forty times, or like the guy
Speaker 1: when the past guy is my little brother was in
Speaker 1: the bed and ex boyfriends showed up and his eyes
Speaker 1: and kids in the in the room with him, and
Speaker 1: the guy was like six pounds. He's like, you're in
Speaker 1: my bed and he's like what. So anyways, that's a
Speaker 1: whole another story. But um so I'm like trying to
Speaker 1: break up with her, but I know this guy's jealous.
Speaker 1: So I start getting random texts from a number that
Speaker 1: I don't know, like I'm gonna kill you if you
Speaker 1: go to sleep and I'm gonna murder you like this.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, this is the fucking crazy ex boyfriend.
Speaker 1: So I started sleeping with a knife underneath like my bed,
Speaker 1: like underneath like the mattress, like ready to go. Huh,
Speaker 1: you should have gotten a brush. Yeah, it's scarier, but
Speaker 1: I would end up giving it the guy and anybody
Speaker 1: used it and falling in love with me. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so I end up sucking sleeping with a knife for
Speaker 1: like a month, and I'm like freaking out. I'm like
Speaker 1: looking out windows. I can't sleep. It turns out it
Speaker 1: wasn't the ex boyfriend. It was just a friend of mine,
Speaker 1: and I'm not that close with that. I just made
Speaker 1: fun of one night when we were drinking, and he
Speaker 1: took it so personally that he's like, Hey, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: keep pranking Andrew because I'm so frank. It was a prank,
Speaker 1: a weird prank. But he's like, ha ha, I got you.
Speaker 1: You thought I was gonna murder you. I sleep with
Speaker 1: one eye opened, like and ended up being just a
Speaker 1: guy that like I sucking. I think I called I
Speaker 1: made fun of her being poor or something, and he
Speaker 1: got so offended. Do you that's interesting that so many
Speaker 1: things happen when you're drunk and you're just like, I
Speaker 1: don't even remember saying that or doing that. Do you, though?
Speaker 1: Do you ever relate to the thing of like, you'll
Speaker 1: be in bed and you'll be totally having a normal night,
Speaker 1: everything's fine, and you just read something or you just
Speaker 1: think about ghosts, or you think about someone being outside
Speaker 1: and then suddenly they're they're like you just you can
Speaker 1: conjure up someone watching you and then get so scared
Speaker 1: and then like the other night, I couldn't even go
Speaker 1: to the bathroom because I'm so I got myself into
Speaker 1: such a zy in my head. But there was gonna
Speaker 1: be a ghost, but they're not. They're like you thought of, like,
Speaker 1: just walk through it. It's invisible, but I still know.
Speaker 1: But the way you set that up is that you
Speaker 1: thought there was a ghost there, and then you went
Speaker 1: in there there was a ghost. No, there wasn't no,
Speaker 1: no, no no, But the way you said it, you have
Speaker 1: you ever thought of something and then it was like
Speaker 1: in your head, I mean, it becomes so real bad.
Speaker 1: Then you just go put two seconds ago everything was fine,
Speaker 1: like what And I've said this on the podcast before,
Speaker 1: but I wonder when people are murdered or there's someone
Speaker 1: like that's breaks into their house or something, if there
Speaker 1: is that spidey sense beforehand, we'll never know because they
Speaker 1: don't make it, or if it was truly out of
Speaker 1: nowhere and it was just normal, like you know when
Speaker 1: in retrospect, people always like to tell themselves a story
Speaker 1: about like I felt something weird? Is it really that
Speaker 1: only in retrospect or do people really sense something is off?
Speaker 1: You know, like that you can smell like how do
Speaker 1: we know? I mean, how many times have you woken
Speaker 1: up in the middle like they hear a noise and
Speaker 1: then you're like zero? I mean it couldn't wake up
Speaker 1: to Robin. The other day, I did think that if
Speaker 1: I if there was a tsunami warning, I wouldn't hear
Speaker 1: it because the white noise is so loud that I
Speaker 1: would just die. And and you know, I thought about
Speaker 1: like the white noise sometimes might be yeah, yeah, interesting.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna stop using white noise from now on.
Speaker 1: If anyone's interested in stalking me, I'm gonna fucking hear
Speaker 1: maybe just doing one year or something. Can you turn
Speaker 1: it down some? Uh? Yeah, By the way, I despise
Speaker 1: white noise. That's another thing you do. We've been over
Speaker 1: that too. Let's get to the next question. Okay, let's
Speaker 1: do one more question quick and then break one one
Speaker 1: quick question and then go to break Yeah. One quick question.
Speaker 1: So this one's from Kathleen MP underscore. Do you think
Speaker 1: do you think you all would have been friends in
Speaker 1: high school. Oh, good question. Um, I think we'd be
Speaker 1: We don't think we would be best friends, but I
Speaker 1: think we'd be friends. I think Noah, you and I.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit different because I think Noah would
Speaker 1: have been so quiet and it would have made me
Speaker 1: feel like intimidated by her. So I might have in
Speaker 1: the way she like dressed kind of alternatively, like kind of.
Speaker 1: I would have just thought we don't have much in common,
Speaker 1: so I probably wouldn't have. You know, I probably would
Speaker 1: have been nicer and she you were probably nice in
Speaker 1: high school. I'm guessing, but I don't know that our
Speaker 1: paths would have crossed as much. I guess. Wait, what
Speaker 1: were you like in high school? Maybe were you emo
Speaker 1: or like punk rock? I don't know if I was,
Speaker 1: email was just like a I don't like uh, like
Speaker 1: I want to be in the Freaks club but didn't
Speaker 1: make it in there, like not freaky enough. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: hear that, like you were trying to You were trying
Speaker 1: to like not blend in though like you you weren't.
Speaker 1: You didn't want to be seen, but you didn't want
Speaker 1: to be like everyone else. It's so funny when you
Speaker 1: want to be like the coolest loser and they're like,
Speaker 1: now we're getting and I think in high school, but yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, you would have been like uh, you would
Speaker 1: have done I feel like you would have been like
Speaker 1: in the tech for like plays, And I'm not saying that,
Speaker 1: it's like you would have been in some kind of
Speaker 1: production thing and I would have been trying to be
Speaker 1: a talent. And it just like how we met naturally.
Speaker 1: And I think that's how a lot of times you
Speaker 1: cross paths with people that you because you stick with
Speaker 1: people who I don't know. Yeah, I met a lot
Speaker 1: of I don't want to say a lot of the
Speaker 1: alternative kids that dressed in black and we're a little
Speaker 1: bit like moody, and I was kind of scared of
Speaker 1: of of just their anger or like just people You're
Speaker 1: going to go to Columbine right now, I think I
Speaker 1: like got I got to know those kids either, you know,
Speaker 1: working on a class project together. You went to a
Speaker 1: bigger school that how many kids are in your school
Speaker 1: our graduating classes? Like then we're not The chances are
Speaker 1: very slim that if you went to my private school,
Speaker 1: we would not have crossed paths. You know what, I
Speaker 1: would have though if we would have been in the
Speaker 1: same class, I would have laughed very I would have
Speaker 1: thought you were very funny, and I would just try
Speaker 1: to been to your friend because you were nice people.
Speaker 1: I was nice, but I was a class clown. But
Speaker 1: I was so there was like a tear of like
Speaker 1: like really like the hot popular girls that were like
Speaker 1: and I feel like you would be no offense but
Speaker 1: in the second tier. But like the cool girl could
Speaker 1: be in the first time who you think is attractive,
Speaker 1: but you don't know if she's attractive yet because she
Speaker 1: hasn't really found her like fashion sense or anything. But
Speaker 1: she might not like shave like above her knee, you know,
Speaker 1: just because she like developed late or like thinking about
Speaker 1: cock late. So like you would be in that area,
Speaker 1: but I'd be. We'd be friends and we'd have some moments.
Speaker 1: But at a party, I wouldn't seek you out right
Speaker 1: but in between classes or like maybe like, yeah, you
Speaker 1: would have been popular, you would have been I was.
Speaker 1: I was always friends with the popular guys that weren't
Speaker 1: quite as no offense, good looking, tall, like like because
Speaker 1: you were a sort kid, that's why, right, Like you
Speaker 1: were like the stud right, so I would have I
Speaker 1: was always on the outs the guys that were popular
Speaker 1: because they were friends with the guys that were popular,
Speaker 1: but that I felt like they were still approachable because
Speaker 1: they like weren't kidding that was me. If I was taller,
Speaker 1: i'd spit on top of your head. But because I
Speaker 1: was yeah, yeah, no, but I I was like the
Speaker 1: popular and then I was like definitely popular, but just
Speaker 1: like just but I might have been scared of you
Speaker 1: because you were so funny. But as long as you
Speaker 1: weren't a funny kid that like made fun of other people,
Speaker 1: I would have been friends with you. But if you
Speaker 1: were one that made fun of other people, oh boy,
Speaker 1: I would have avoided you. I wasn't stayed out of
Speaker 1: your line of fire unless you came at me, and
Speaker 1: then I was sucking guns blazing. No, I think we
Speaker 1: would have gotten along and caused the kid to real
Speaker 1: to be sad. No, no, no, I wouldn't. I didn't bully.
Speaker 1: I think I bullied someone, maybe a little bit grade accidentally,
Speaker 1: but no. I I think we definitely talked ship about
Speaker 1: dorks behind their backs, but never to their face. Never
Speaker 1: to make someone intentionally too that I was. I never
Speaker 1: understood doing that. And one day, there was one of
Speaker 1: the dorkier girls that would sit over in this collection.
Speaker 1: There were these turtle sculptures in our common area, and
Speaker 1: we called the goth kids that said over there that
Speaker 1: were kind of like the the outcast, like it was.
Speaker 1: I went to school during Columbine. That was our ninth grade.
Speaker 1: So those Columbiny kids we're over like in the turtle.
Speaker 1: We called them the turtles, right, and but we didn't
Speaker 1: say this to their face. And one day we were
Speaker 1: like looking over at them for some other reason, like
Speaker 1: we're pointing. I remember, it wasn't about making fun of them.
Speaker 1: And this girl, this brave turtle, came over to us
Speaker 1: and was like, oh, she walked up and was like,
Speaker 1: all you guys do is make fun Like she was
Speaker 1: taking out her anger at the table that was over
Speaker 1: there of the really popular girls out on us. But
Speaker 1: I remember being like, I respect that she was tired
Speaker 1: of being the brunt of jokes because she was a turtle,
Speaker 1: and she fucking let us have it, even though it
Speaker 1: was misplaced, because I remember being like Laura, I would
Speaker 1: never I'm on your We were in girl Scouts together,
Speaker 1: but I was sitting at a table maybe with some
Speaker 1: girls that we're doing that, so and it's hard to
Speaker 1: speak up when you're terrified of not being cool. I
Speaker 1: was best friends with the most popular kid in school
Speaker 1: in my grade, and then the other cool kids that
Speaker 1: loved to be friends with him, even though he was
Speaker 1: the best friend with me, like kept me around because
Speaker 1: of him, Like we're friends with me because of him. Yes,
Speaker 1: but I never felt that close to them because they
Speaker 1: were like waspy and didn't love Jews, you know, and
Speaker 1: so then just barely hanging on. So I got tired
Speaker 1: of them to the point where I almost didn't even
Speaker 1: hang out with my best friend I was friends with
Speaker 1: them to then hang out with the kids playing Bond
Speaker 1: with like him necklaces, smoking Bond, listening to Fish playing Bond.
Speaker 1: Bond is like a video game that yeah, okay, So
Speaker 1: I started hanging out with them and I got a
Speaker 1: him necklace. I went to Fish. Yeah, you're just like
Speaker 1: hand rugs. Yes, what they want to be a drugg
Speaker 1: either Yeah. Oh yeah, so you're like, I don't want
Speaker 1: to smoke. You just were trying to find a place
Speaker 1: to put in. I was just trying to get away
Speaker 1: from where like I couldn't win. Never gonna win. They
Speaker 1: were never going to accept you. We're always going to
Speaker 1: be a lot like how stand up was to be honest, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: stand up can be so isolating, so bullying, and so elitist,
Speaker 1: and you're in groups and so you can't get in.
Speaker 1: I still struggle with it to this day, even with success.
Speaker 1: There are still some people that I'm just like, they're
Speaker 1: the cool kids, and they always look at me and
Speaker 1: roll their eyes at any success I have. It's just
Speaker 1: and there's a part of me that I'm going to
Speaker 1: prove them wrong. But in the end, I just now
Speaker 1: I know those people are miserable and they don't like themselves.
Speaker 1: Anyone that's like so mean to other people and thinks
Speaker 1: they're so cool and has to make other people feel
Speaker 1: bad and like you're not gonna sit at our table.
Speaker 1: They're so miserable and they weren't loved. And I truly
Speaker 1: know that now, But it's still fucking hard to get to.
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break and come back with more questions.
Speaker 1: This question seems great by the way, I love it.
Speaker 1: Good enough us on all good topics. All right, we're back.
Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's get some more questions. These are great.
Speaker 1: Oh wait, are we not doing news at all? I
Speaker 1: guess we'll just do the only questions. Okay, uh, here's
Speaker 1: one from chel from Chelsea Vale. Do you think jealousy?
Speaker 1: And Mr Brightside sounds like Chelsea. Can we hear it
Speaker 1: jealousy turning seats into this? Yes? I do think you
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Like, all right, you have to
Speaker 1: read it when you hear it. No, I absolutely will
Speaker 1: never hear that song the same way again, Jelsey, because
Speaker 1: they're British. If there's three syllables, though, I would say,
Speaker 1: hey Chelsea, Hey, Chelsea was hair jealousy? No way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I bet my I told you this. I bet my
Speaker 1: brother his hair jelly jealousy like hair like hair gel. No,
Speaker 1: just hair jealousy because I thought which it should be about,
Speaker 1: because that's what most men deal with and they had
Speaker 1: nice hair. Actually hair jealousy. I back, you can trust
Speaker 1: me not to and not fucking condition and if you
Speaker 1: don't have a good hair line, I'm not gonna be threatening.
Speaker 1: So all it really wants a thick old mullet mullet
Speaker 1: be like, yeah, thank you. I was trying to rhyme
Speaker 1: something with mullet, but it wasn't gonna happen. Um, yes,
Speaker 1: it does sound like that. Good question. Next question, Okay,
Speaker 1: so here's one from Ellie Ciota at Ellie Ciota. How
Speaker 1: do I make new friends as an older single woman
Speaker 1: in her fifties in New York? Hmmm, Um, I would
Speaker 1: man like COVID stuff, but I would well, things are
Speaker 1: inching back to normal. The beauty thing, the beauty thing,
Speaker 1: the beauty thing about New York. Yeah, the beauty beautiful
Speaker 1: about New York. Yeah, there's millions of activities that if
Speaker 1: you just pick what you are excited about, book club,
Speaker 1: fucking whatever it is, yes, book because you're in your
Speaker 1: fifty but just called meet up groups like meet up, Yeah,
Speaker 1: go play fucking dodgeball, go fucking I don't know. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I still get emails about a girl's beginning soccer, an
Speaker 1: adult women's like to learn how to play soccer for
Speaker 1: the first time in your life. And I still get
Speaker 1: emails and was always like, got a different version of
Speaker 1: myself would have made new friends that way. I think
Speaker 1: that's a great way to meet people, especially at that age,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, find some were you
Speaker 1: passionate about and that you never got to do. Start
Speaker 1: there and then people in that class we have similar
Speaker 1: mind is you, and you'll probably end up being friends
Speaker 1: with them. Go places alone because I think that people
Speaker 1: are more apt to like involve you in their group
Speaker 1: and like have you joined along? Did you see you
Speaker 1: watched Unorthodox? Right? Yeah? No, have you seen Unorthodox is
Speaker 1: an unorthodox r? I think it's just hey, not on
Speaker 1: a streamline. You know what I really liked about it.
Speaker 1: I just started watching it. I'm only two episodes in,
Speaker 1: but I liked how sty the girl when she goes
Speaker 1: to Berlin, she is so she you know, she escapes
Speaker 1: the her Williamsburg and in her life as an unorthodox
Speaker 1: uh wife, and um, she escapes to Berlin. She's never
Speaker 1: communicated with like people who aren't Orthodox Jewish, She's never
Speaker 1: done she's never talked anyone, and so she's so open
Speaker 1: to meeting new people. She just like is at the
Speaker 1: coffee shop and it's just like can I help you
Speaker 1: carry those coffees? Like she was just friendly. And I
Speaker 1: think that like, you just gotta take that. You gotta
Speaker 1: take risks. You gotta be like Noah and go on
Speaker 1: a blind day. You gotta do the thing that's telling
Speaker 1: you don't go to that thing alone, don't strike up
Speaker 1: the conversation, don't ask about that thing. Um. And also UM,
Speaker 1: I would say, if you have any like thing that
Speaker 1: you struggle with, there are like twelve step groups that
Speaker 1: are great places to meet friends if you want to
Speaker 1: like meet with like minded people who might be struggling
Speaker 1: with a similar thing. And it doesn't have to necessarily
Speaker 1: be struggling to be um, like not an alcoholic or something.
Speaker 1: There's like a group called alan On that is like
Speaker 1: even if you had like an alcoholic aunt, you're qualified
Speaker 1: to go and it's just people talking about being a
Speaker 1: good human and it's pretty awesome. Also your expect patients like,
Speaker 1: I don't know how many friends you're gonna want, but
Speaker 1: I would I wouldn't say. I just need like two
Speaker 1: or three good ones. That's all you need. Don't think
Speaker 1: like maybe now you're like newly single or did she
Speaker 1: say that or she said you as single? But I
Speaker 1: mean you need two or three. Just find two or
Speaker 1: three people that you like hanging out with every five.
Speaker 1: In New York, you can be fifty and be friends
Speaker 1: with twenty year olds like I have. Yeah, in New York,
Speaker 1: that's the best place to be because be open to
Speaker 1: any age, because there's twenty year olds living like fifth
Speaker 1: year old or fifth year olds living like twenty year olds.
Speaker 1: Like there's no you can really mix it up there.
Speaker 1: It's a great place to be. A great question. Good luck, Okay, alright.
Speaker 1: This is from at a Town Beads. If you weren't
Speaker 1: in comedy, what would you do for a living? I
Speaker 1: love that question? Andrew, what about you? Um, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I did real estate before the older I get I
Speaker 1: wasn't My mind wasn't ready for real estate at that time.
Speaker 1: I never bought a house. I still don't. Only have
Speaker 1: bought one condo, but like I kind of have an understand.
Speaker 1: I like commercial real estate a little bit, like putting
Speaker 1: together deals. I like figuring out, like who could buy
Speaker 1: Like a good salesman. I'm not that good of a salesman.
Speaker 1: I'm a good I'm a good Like what is it
Speaker 1: like a schmoozer. I'm a good schmoozer. Like you'd be
Speaker 1: a good guy that takes the clients out and like
Speaker 1: shows him a good time and it just like takes
Speaker 1: him out on the golf course whatever that is. I'd
Speaker 1: be great at that. The problem is is alcohol is
Speaker 1: so involved in that ship, especially in real estate in
Speaker 1: New York. But I do like I like getting in
Speaker 1: my car and being like, oh, you gotta go look
Speaker 1: at a property two hours away and like kind of
Speaker 1: figure out, like that ship's fun, and then meeting up
Speaker 1: with the city and like, oh, that kind of stuff
Speaker 1: is fun. So you think you'd be doing that. I
Speaker 1: guess you want to be doing that. If you couldn't
Speaker 1: do comedy and you couldn't do anything in the entertainment world,
Speaker 1: what would you do right now if it was taken
Speaker 1: from you? I mean I guess that. I guess that.
Speaker 1: I mean it depends how much money I have in
Speaker 1: the bank now too. I mean that's the other thing.
Speaker 1: I know, the money thing comes into play. Uh No,
Speaker 1: what about you if you couldn't do this job or
Speaker 1: anything in radio like super Easy? I so badly, but
Speaker 1: I don't have the discipline for school to study it.
Speaker 1: But I so badly wanted to work in crime scene investigation. Okay, yes,
Speaker 1: that's interesting to me. Do you listen to a lot
Speaker 1: of murder podcasts and stuff like? Do you do you want?
Speaker 1: I don't know you as a like a you know,
Speaker 1: law and order SVU person No, because, um, I used
Speaker 1: to really be into it with podcasts and stuff. I
Speaker 1: think because I work in podcasting, I don't really listen
Speaker 1: to too many podcasts, um because I can't listen to
Speaker 1: it while I work. Um, but I really um there.
Speaker 1: So the field that I would would have gone into
Speaker 1: is called sterrology, which is blood splatter analysis this and
Speaker 1: you basically figure out that person and the murder happened
Speaker 1: through the blood splatter and all that. How do you
Speaker 1: say sorology? And are you good at science stuff? Would
Speaker 1: you have done well in the classes that would you
Speaker 1: know you'd have to do leading up to that? I
Speaker 1: probably only would have done good in the classes with
Speaker 1: the topics that I would have wanted to learn about,
Speaker 1: but all the other stuff, I know, you have to
Speaker 1: do all the other stuff before that. How do you
Speaker 1: spell sorology? I don't even know? Like are s E
Speaker 1: R O L O? So it's se r okay? God,
Speaker 1: I just I just love Noah so much. I know,
Speaker 1: isn't She's so fascinating because it's like either I'm going
Speaker 1: to do a comedy podcast or I'm going to figure
Speaker 1: out some blood. I'm gonna look at the way someone's
Speaker 1: blood brain exploded on a wall to figure out. We're
Speaker 1: going to tell some little jokes. It's it's that's my nightmare.
Speaker 1: By the way, really of crime scenes I I always
Speaker 1: are trying to photos of Do you ever watch the
Speaker 1: first forty eight? No? H that's a really good show
Speaker 1: that really gets you into like what it looks like
Speaker 1: right away and all that stuff. That's more. Yeah. Most
Speaker 1: recently I like Mine Hunter, But when I was younger,
Speaker 1: I used to watch Autopsy, Forensic Files, like all those
Speaker 1: shows on like the i D Network. Wow, Oh my god,
Speaker 1: Well that's really cool. I love that answer. I would
Speaker 1: not have guessed that for you. Mine is Yeah, let
Speaker 1: me guess Andrew, if you weren't doing anything, I can't
Speaker 1: do entertainment. Yeah, ship, I mean, I know you're a
Speaker 1: teacher for a little while. It depends if you want
Speaker 1: to make money. Oh, you'd be a psychologist. Um. I
Speaker 1: think I probably would because it would be easier for
Speaker 1: me than what I would really want to do. But
Speaker 1: I'd want to be a podiatrist and like like scrape
Speaker 1: people's foot legions all day long. It would be honestly
Speaker 1: have it for me. I wonder if though, people that
Speaker 1: get into that stuff because they love. They're really like satisfied.
Speaker 1: They watch videos of it. Becauld you always find out
Speaker 1: like when you do what you love, it takes some
Speaker 1: of the fun out of it, like for a living
Speaker 1: like comedy I love obviously, but it's it's lost its
Speaker 1: glamour to me. But I wonder if scraping down people's
Speaker 1: wards would ever lose its glamor. Man, I am so excited.
Speaker 1: A bestie is gonna let me get at her foot
Speaker 1: in Vancouver, and I can't fucking wait. Not just imagine
Speaker 1: a million are waiting for you there. I would I
Speaker 1: would love it. I mean, I'm I'm not kidding you.
Speaker 1: And I was kind of nervous about her work because
Speaker 1: she was like, I'm going to send you a picture
Speaker 1: of it, like I asked her to send me a
Speaker 1: video of it, and I was like, kind of nervous
Speaker 1: that was gonna be one that I'm just like, I
Speaker 1: don't really care, it's so good. And I was like, girl,
Speaker 1: I feel bad you even have to walk on that thing,
Speaker 1: and because I know how painful they are, but she
Speaker 1: says it's not causing her pain, and I cannot wait
Speaker 1: to get at it. And I don't know, like I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna bring like something to treat it with,
Speaker 1: Like I'm going to try to like actually, look at
Speaker 1: our look at the talents were coming to. If you
Speaker 1: have a war us, bring it backstage and I will
Speaker 1: scalpel it and break. And you have to just surrender
Speaker 1: the fact that I don't know what I'm doing, and
Speaker 1: I might. I don't want to hurt anyone, but I
Speaker 1: just want to get out it. Look if you heard
Speaker 1: someone Noah could figure it. I don't understand there's literally
Speaker 1: anyone who has like a sex fetish, there's anyone who
Speaker 1: will fulfill that for you. You You can, you can pay
Speaker 1: an escort to really do anything you want. But for
Speaker 1: someone like me whose deepest fantasies is scraping on a
Speaker 1: fort award, there is no way to do that without
Speaker 1: going to medical school or you can't go to I
Speaker 1: can't do it voluntarily, like for volunteer purposes, you have
Speaker 1: to have a degree. So it has to just have someone.
Speaker 1: You have to find a friend that trust you. So
Speaker 1: it's and none of my friends trust me, Like Robin
Speaker 1: even was like I wouldn't let you touch me with
Speaker 1: a thing. And I'm like, you're probably right, but I'm
Speaker 1: really excited that because we see you go after your
Speaker 1: own skin like a fucking banshee. Sometimes, yeah, I do,
Speaker 1: but it's so satisfying. Sometimes I watch you go after
Speaker 1: your nails with the fucking uh yeah talking to me
Speaker 1: like a nail. Let's go over jokes and I'm just
Speaker 1: looking at you, look going after your nail, try to
Speaker 1: get that hangnail and just rup it out. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm sure I do things that fucking make you want to.
Speaker 1: Let's get the next question. M hmm. Okay, um, one
Speaker 1: more question and then what we got to wrap this up.
Speaker 1: This has been fun and this is just a bonus.
Speaker 1: So if you didn't enjoy it, um, you're it almost
Speaker 1: didn't happen, and we're gonna do it tomorrow. Now. We'll
Speaker 1: be back tomorrow with the real podcast. This is from
Speaker 1: This is from Katie Kosik for Niki. Okay, maybe, Andrew,
Speaker 1: what do you do to get out of looking down
Speaker 1: at the ground while playing guitar moments? M hmmm, well,
Speaker 1: no one plays guitar too, so let's let's all talk
Speaker 1: about this looking down while playing guitar moments. Oh oh,
Speaker 1: I know what she's talking about when I was playing
Speaker 1: guitar and I got sad and I looked down. Um,
Speaker 1: I actually just I think you're talking about just depressive
Speaker 1: moments in general, Like how do you get out of those?
Speaker 1: The guitar moment was not so that was early. That
Speaker 1: was like almost like the the sniffles before cold Like
Speaker 1: it was just felt really good to me just to
Speaker 1: stare um for depression. I talk about it. I tell
Speaker 1: everyone that will listen how bad I feel. And I'm
Speaker 1: not asking for like them to solve it. I just
Speaker 1: want them to, like, I just want to get honest
Speaker 1: about it and like talk about how I'm really feeling.
Speaker 1: And then there's something that lifts once you're able to
Speaker 1: be like brutally honest about it that I found is
Speaker 1: really soothing. But generally, I just tried to tell myself,
Speaker 1: this isn't gonna last forever, um, and if it doesn't
Speaker 1: get better, I could call a doctor. Honestly, I I
Speaker 1: you got to get a doctor involved, you got to
Speaker 1: call someone and and and get some help. But um,
Speaker 1: when I feel those thing, yeah, she's like no, I mean,
Speaker 1: like can you not how can I not stare in
Speaker 1: my hands when I'm trying to do it in a
Speaker 1: Um no, I just feel like, yeah, that's but I
Speaker 1: just found like the freedom being honest with yourself about
Speaker 1: how you feel and other people without trying, without scaring them.
Speaker 1: So when you sleep in a month later, they don't
Speaker 1: think you killed yourself. But like just being honest because
Speaker 1: it's not You're not a bad person to be really said,
Speaker 1: no matter what your your situation is. And also just
Speaker 1: get get help, you know, like and if it is guitar,
Speaker 1: like just that simple, just like what that's what? Not
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. If you're playing chords, it's easier.
Speaker 1: You can't look up when you're reading the news. That's
Speaker 1: what you want. I didn't lose my job. I gave
Speaker 1: it away. There's two different stories. How do you get
Speaker 1: out of depression when you're in it? Like when you
Speaker 1: don't you make fun of me for not being able
Speaker 1: to read, that's it. Don't do that and give them.
Speaker 1: Wait what do you really do? Yeah? No, I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to do that. But do I write letters? Um? Wait,
Speaker 1: what do you do? I don't know. I try to,
Speaker 1: Like I'll do an activity. I'll go hit golf balls,
Speaker 1: I'll go to the gym. I'll try to better myself
Speaker 1: even if everything is telling you not to do it.
Speaker 1: You'll always fucking feel better after you. Have you ever
Speaker 1: felt like I should go do that and you just can't,
Speaker 1: And then what do you do with that? You just
Speaker 1: wait till you can. You just sucking jerk off and
Speaker 1: you fucking don't even clean up, and then you watch
Speaker 1: a documentary and then you fall asleep with jis in
Speaker 1: your bed, and then you wake up and you go, man,
Speaker 1: I'm still sad. And then you have some golf balls
Speaker 1: and you're like my hand and taking a shower. It's
Speaker 1: so hard to do, but it and you as a girl,
Speaker 1: you're like, I gotta blow dry my hair. Just like
Speaker 1: take a shower, Let your hair dry it the way
Speaker 1: it is, and actually try to fill in the scene
Speaker 1: in the shower like you're in if you can't get
Speaker 1: yourself to really emote, just like try to like act
Speaker 1: like you're in a movie of someone who's suppressed, Like
Speaker 1: get it out and like just have will pass. Yes,
Speaker 1: the thing that helps me a lot that it's gonna
Speaker 1: go that it's not always going to be this way,
Speaker 1: because it wasn't always that way. I saw Tom Hanks
Speaker 1: talking to other actors. He's like, when things are terrible,
Speaker 1: you're not getting any jobs, everything's bad. This to show pass.
Speaker 1: When things are feeling great, everything's wonderful. Just to show
Speaker 1: pass always passes. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't
Speaker 1: enjoy it. But just know that these might be temporary
Speaker 1: feelings and you'll get through it whatever it is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and just try to talk to someone, anyone, even if
Speaker 1: you know, fucking record a podcast to yourself, just verbalize it,
Speaker 1: journal it. And if you can't do any of that,
Speaker 1: ship be nice to yourself about not being able to
Speaker 1: do anything, and just be like I can't. If I could,
Speaker 1: I would, and just fucking be depressed and own it
Speaker 1: and wallow and feel bad for yourself to do all
Speaker 1: those things. Just don't be mean to yourself when you're depressed.
Speaker 1: Don't it on yourself for not being what you need
Speaker 1: to be, not being able to get out of bed.
Speaker 1: Don't don't add to it. You're already depressed. You already
Speaker 1: spilled water on your computer. You don't like use an analogy.
Speaker 1: When I spilled water on my computer, I wanted to
Speaker 1: like punish myself. I already lost my computer. Why punish
Speaker 1: yourself more. You're already depressed and you're you're feeling sad.
Speaker 1: Don't be mean to yourself on top of that, Please God,
Speaker 1: don't do that. And if it's a tough plane in eight,
Speaker 1: chording right and then just mute the the that's about um.
Speaker 1: Thank you guys so much for your questions and for
Speaker 1: being our besties, and we'll be back tomorrow with more show.
Speaker 1: Uh don't be cat and I came up with it.
