Speaker 1: studio today, thought about going in and like setting up
Speaker 1: some sessions. That's as close as I'm going to get.
Speaker 1: I think to that, just the idea, Like I I
Speaker 1: googled it, I like looked up the site and was like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's around the corner for me. I could go there,
Speaker 1: and um, I might do that, but I don't know,
Speaker 1: like a window shopper and I saw here Andrews in St. Louis. Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly for things that I should activities and solutions for
Speaker 1: my skin and um well being the old I'm I'm
Speaker 1: on the strip where I walk a mile down to
Speaker 1: get Starbucks, and I swear to God, it's Juice bar
Speaker 1: Pilates Studio, CBD Infusions, Juice bar Uh, facialist, nail salon,
Speaker 1: Juice bar Uh Pilate Studio. It is. That's all there
Speaker 1: is on this It's crazy. It's just who who needs
Speaker 1: this much stuff. It's just I felt bad about myself
Speaker 1: the entire time. There was a place to get ketamine infusions,
Speaker 1: which is something that people have in l I do
Speaker 1: for depression, which I was kind of interested in um
Speaker 1: or like you know, ivy stuff. But it's just this
Speaker 1: is a very UM's stay walking around in muted tones
Speaker 1: with like just very flowy clothing, either very tight clothing
Speaker 1: like Lulu like tight you know, yoga pants, or like
Speaker 1: very flowy. But everything is like Beij's and you know Brown's,
Speaker 1: Like everything's muted. Everyone seems peaceful and serene. Everyone has
Speaker 1: a dog that's like behaving itself. Everyone's dog is like
Speaker 1: on ketamine too. It's crazy. Um oh, Andrew just disappeared.
Speaker 1: Well we'll wait for him to come back and I'll
Speaker 1: just talk until he appears again. He literally like just
Speaker 1: dropped off like there was I feel like there was
Speaker 1: doing a Yeah, it really did feel like that. Um so, yeah,
Speaker 1: I might try pilates or whatever. I am. Oh, he's
Speaker 1: coming back. He's magically appearing again. Here comes David Copperfield.

Speaker 1: going on you guys? I'm getting a flower delivery. Hold
Speaker 1: on one second. Oh, wait a second, there's a man
Speaker 1: with flowers that just walked by and he's kind of
Speaker 1: looking at my door. Let me just take a peek,
Speaker 1: and that's how they get me. Well, hell, oh, it's

Speaker 1: I'm guessing the only person who has my address is
Speaker 1: the one who sent something. What do you tip of
Speaker 1: flower guy? Ten bucks? That's probably seems good a guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's nice. He's taking a picture of it to confirm
Speaker 1: that it's there. Do you want me in it to go? Yeah?

Speaker 1: It's very beautiful. It's got a lot going on. It
Speaker 1: looks like a um butterfly shape almost. It's got My
Speaker 1: mom would think this is hideous. I'll say that whenever
Speaker 1: I get flowers. My mom is just like I wouldn't
Speaker 1: have done that. I'm like, well, okay, well it's not
Speaker 1: for you. Oh my god, it's actually so beautiful. Oh
Speaker 1: this is definitely from Chris. Oh my god, it's so pretty.
Speaker 1: It's really well done. Why did he send me this?
Speaker 1: What did I do? I know what I didn't do
Speaker 1: last night? Mission uncompleted. Um, oh my god, it's so pretty.
Speaker 1: This place he always gets it's from seed floral fitting. Um.
Speaker 1: He always gets some from here, and they're the most
Speaker 1: beautiful arrangements. I was just gonna buy flowers today because
Speaker 1: I was like, this place needs a little spice up. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's for um. He sent it to my UM. I
Speaker 1: wish I could tell you what name he sent it to,
Speaker 1: because it's my fake name that I check into places
Speaker 1: under so that stalkers can't kill me. Yeah, my real name,
Speaker 1: um it said. Um oh, that's funny. I love that
Speaker 1: we're doing this, so excited to be here with the
Speaker 1: gal respectfully. And then he wrote a person's name that's
Speaker 1: inside joke between us. That's so nice he has been.
Speaker 1: He left me a card yesterday when he was going
Speaker 1: to work that was on my UM suitcase in the morning,
Speaker 1: and which he shared feelings. It was so nice. He
Speaker 1: was like, I just I couldn't share those kinds of
Speaker 1: feelings with you in the room because it was too embarrassing.
Speaker 1: And I was like, please do that more, Please say
Speaker 1: those things to me every single day. He's like, I can't.
Speaker 1: It just was so it's cute when boys get vulnerable
Speaker 1: and like start stretching their wings in this way. It's
Speaker 1: very nice that this flower arrangement costs so much freaking money.
Speaker 1: What a nice guy. Um that was. So that's it's
Speaker 1: so nice to get flowers, especially when you see a
Speaker 1: flower man coming and you go, I hope those are
Speaker 1: from me, but you can't say it out loud, and
Speaker 1: then they are for you. It feels great. It's better
Speaker 1: than when you just get there and there's flowers waiting.
Speaker 1: It's better when you see the guy and you go,
Speaker 1: no way are they from me? There never from me,
Speaker 1: and you feel like a girl in an office who
Speaker 1: never gets flowers, like a Drew Barrymore in a in
Speaker 1: a movie that I don't know the example a beauty pageant.
Speaker 1: They're so pretty. Oh my god, I love them. Um yeah,
Speaker 1: so I feel special today, do you know, Jessica, Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm looking for he say, oh, I recognized you from
Speaker 1: the road, but I'm looking for a different Girlie did
Speaker 1: get recognized last night? I was like we were walking
Speaker 1: down people seem to know who I was. When they
Speaker 1: sent my name and all of my credits and I
Speaker 1: walked on stage, people were like, oh my god, that's
Speaker 1: Nicky Glazier. It was crazy. Um, even at the ending.
Speaker 1: Chris and I went for a walk after dinner and
Speaker 1: I was crying because my jeans were so tight that
Speaker 1: it was so uncomfortable. And they are my biggest they
Speaker 1: are just the jeans that I've had. When I talked
Speaker 1: about this the other day, they're my like I want
Speaker 1: to wear something comfy, almost like pajama pants jeans. That's
Speaker 1: how big these jeans used to be. And they are
Speaker 1: so tight that I was it was hurting to wear them.
Speaker 1: And I was crying as we walked down the street.
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, this girl, I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, and like she was just by herself
Speaker 1: and she was so sweet, and UM said she's a
Speaker 1: big fan. And then we took a picture and UM
Speaker 1: and then we were walking further and he was like,
Speaker 1: are you happy being here? Because I feel like he
Speaker 1: feels responsible for me coming. I mean, he is like
Speaker 1: the reason I'm here. I wouldn't be here if he
Speaker 1: didn't get a job out of here. So I was
Speaker 1: so he was like he just was trying to make
Speaker 1: sure I'm happy, and I was like, I mean, I
Speaker 1: I just got recognized. I'm good in this neighborhood. Until
Speaker 1: now I was thinking it was a little lacking. Now
Speaker 1: I'm a okay, No, it was very nice, and we
Speaker 1: went out to dinner, and then I went and did
Speaker 1: some sets. I like live in that l a life again.
Speaker 1: Took an uber to the sets. You know, when you
Speaker 1: take an uber to a comedy club, they always go, oh,
Speaker 1: you in the mood to laugh tonight, Huh, who are
Speaker 1: you going to see? And then I have to go
Speaker 1: I'm actually performing and they go, oh my god, is
Speaker 1: it your first time? Have you done this before? Just
Speaker 1: like yeah, I mean And then but the girl, I
Speaker 1: think she caught my tone of like, I don't really
Speaker 1: feel like talking because I had to go over my
Speaker 1: set and like work on things. I wasn't trying to be.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, I don't owe anyone a conversation, right,
Speaker 1: even if it's uber. Black people are you an actress?
Speaker 1: Are you a TikToker? Oh? You actually just do this
Speaker 1: for how long? Twenty years? It has been twenty years.
Speaker 1: I just want to say someone found the Chapelle show ticket,
Speaker 1: like someone found I guess on Pinterest or something. Someone
Speaker 1: had posted the ticket that they went to go see Chapelle.
Speaker 1: And one of our best he's found the actual ticket
Speaker 1: from March five. I believe it was two thousand three. Yeah,
Speaker 1: two thousand three, two three, and um, that makes total
Speaker 1: sense because I went to go see his show because
Speaker 1: oh here it is March second, Sunday, March second, two
Speaker 1: thousand three, Film Are Auditorium, Dave Chappelle. That was the
Speaker 1: one I went to. And it makes sense because I
Speaker 1: think the first time I ever went on stage was
Speaker 1: Marched like twelve. It was like a week and a
Speaker 1: half later. And this was during the time when I
Speaker 1: bought this ticket where I was like, I gotta figure
Speaker 1: out what stand up comedy is. So I was like,
Speaker 1: I gotta go to my first show, and that was
Speaker 1: so it all times. Thankfully, you know, the way I
Speaker 1: remembered it is the way it happened. But I'm glad
Speaker 1: there's some evidence of this. Otherwise nothing. It's so crazy
Speaker 1: that something could happen in the early two thousand's app
Speaker 1: post nine eleven and yet there's no record of it.
Speaker 1: UM Mysterious Man Walking Aslando is the moment they started
Speaker 1: keeping records. Just well, I feel like a documented day.
Speaker 1: And then you you have you have a huge venue
Speaker 1: with four thousand people that they all come, they all
Speaker 1: buy a ticket to go see a guy, and then
Speaker 1: there's no record of it online. That's one of the
Speaker 1: most obnoxious things about UM. Like searching there's a couple
Speaker 1: of things on the Internet where I go, how have
Speaker 1: we not remedied? This one is searching lyrics. It's still
Speaker 1: like you're searching porn, like pop ups come up. There's
Speaker 1: miss lyrics, Like there's no like one IMDb for lyrics
Speaker 1: that is like fact checked. And then there's also UM
Speaker 1: concerts from the past. There's there should be records archives
Speaker 1: of every big major venue and every artist that was there.
Speaker 1: Like I keep trying to look for John Mayer when
Speaker 1: he was at the at some when I saw him
Speaker 1: in two thousand, Open for Guster. There's no evidence, there's
Speaker 1: no record of it. I can't find it anywhere. How
Speaker 1: is no one writing about that, or how did no one?
Speaker 1: How is this not like the data collect there's like,
Speaker 1: you know, we know, like the pioneers, how many people
Speaker 1: like went to you know, town hall meetings back then.
Speaker 1: But this was a thing where thousands of people collected
Speaker 1: together and there's no record of it in the two thousands.
Speaker 1: That seems weird to me. No, okay, let's put it
Speaker 1: out there. Let's put it out Where was the concert? Okay?
Speaker 1: I really like this. The pageant and it was John Mayor.
Speaker 1: And I know you'll find a lot of Guster opening
Speaker 1: for John Mayer, but no, this is John Mayer opening
Speaker 1: for Guster either your Fall Spring of two thousand, Fall
Speaker 1: of two thousand or Spring of two thousand one the
Speaker 1: Pageant Theater in St. Louis Macary. And if you can
Speaker 1: find that, thank you very much. Yeah. I mean, like,
Speaker 1: I love our little internet sluice. It's been it's been
Speaker 1: very helpful. But I just well, it's like you know,
Speaker 1: grateful Dead back in the day, or like this tape
Speaker 1: was eighty four or nineteen seventy three live from you know,
Speaker 1: freaking uh someplace in Pennsylvania. You know, that's how people
Speaker 1: found ship. It was just people would tape it and
Speaker 1: then eventually I guess they would record the tapes. But
Speaker 1: John Mayer and Guster, I don't think anyone like that show.
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone like was like, I gotta remember that,
Speaker 1: I gotta record this. I gotta keep like thousands of
Speaker 1: people were there. That's the thing, Like, how can thousands
Speaker 1: of Americans come together in one place and then it
Speaker 1: disappears from the record. That's the thing that I'm just like,
Speaker 1: my theory she feels so old and crazy. It doesn't
Speaker 1: it's not that it has disappeared from the record. But um,
Speaker 1: I was talking to someone who works in like data
Speaker 1: security or whatever, so he's like really good with like
Speaker 1: hacking and understanding the Internet. He told me that when
Speaker 1: you're doing a Google search, you're only seeing like one
Speaker 1: percent of websites. We like don't see everything that's on
Speaker 1: the internet really, I mean, I know the dark Web
Speaker 1: is something, but like, you'm kind of disappointed in Google
Speaker 1: for to be honest, and and I did read something
Speaker 1: about this that Google doesn't really do a good job anymore.
Speaker 1: Someone had written an article about like why is googling
Speaker 1: things like not fun anymore? There's always ads, You're always
Speaker 1: getting ads that look like real websites. They found a
Speaker 1: way to trick you now where you will click on
Speaker 1: ads thinking it's like not an ad because they look
Speaker 1: like it. Also, YouTube, their search is garbage. Like you
Speaker 1: search something, it will give you three videos of what
Speaker 1: read to like six six videos of what you actually
Speaker 1: searched for, and then it just shows searched showing things
Speaker 1: that you might be interested in that have nothing to
Speaker 1: do with the video you searched. It's insane to me.
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't get it. They're like a
Speaker 1: bullied I want to They're like, no, you don't want
Speaker 1: that is I want massage videos. I don't want to see,
Speaker 1: you know, a video about Hitler talking to Andrew Schultz.
Speaker 1: Although yes, I would have watched that video a few
Speaker 1: nights ago, I don't want it now. I want warts
Speaker 1: being cut out of people's feet. I don't want a
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift cover of the song clean. I would I
Speaker 1: will want that in three days. I feel like they
Speaker 1: like you and you searching warts being cut out is
Speaker 1: like Noah's searching a rock band at like you know
Speaker 1: themselves on stage or something like. It's a similar brain
Speaker 1: His favorite band is when I put up work cut um.
Speaker 1: I will say that I've been searching wards being dissected
Speaker 1: from fete for years and years and years on YouTube. Okay,
Speaker 1: like I've seen every single video there is, and there
Speaker 1: has been. Something has happened in the past few months,
Speaker 1: and it is bananas every There are thousands of videos,
Speaker 1: hundreds every day of new words and they're all shot
Speaker 1: in China or India or places where you know they're
Speaker 1: not speaking English, definitely in the in the East, the
Speaker 1: Far East, and they all are shot on like really
Speaker 1: like crappy potato cameras where it's like hazy and it's
Speaker 1: like being held by like a and they're not in
Speaker 1: like an they don't even look like they're actually medical procedures.
Speaker 1: And I don't like because they always used a scoop
Speaker 1: and I want something to be like cut out. I
Speaker 1: wanted to be scraped. I don't want it to be
Speaker 1: like scooped out. So they're using these really dull instruments
Speaker 1: and they have littered the search, like you can't find
Speaker 1: a work cutting video that is like pure any more.
Speaker 1: They are all these ones that like they soak caffite
Speaker 1: so they're wet and they scrape up these wet it's
Speaker 1: disgusting and I want my old fashioned dry wart cut videos.
Speaker 1: But it's weird. It's like I was into some not wrong.
Speaker 1: This is something that people are into watching. And then
Speaker 1: there's cartoons that bessies have sent me that are going
Speaker 1: all over YouTube and TikTok of people make cartoons of
Speaker 1: warts being cut off of feet and callus is being shaved.
Speaker 1: It's like a cartoon foot and it just and it
Speaker 1: makes it sound like and it's like that's a whole
Speaker 1: new trend. And then another thing that a ton of
Speaker 1: bessies have sent me is the bunyan corrector that was
Speaker 1: another thing that is flooded TikTok is this person with
Speaker 1: a bent bunyan and then they put on this little
Speaker 1: thing and they go they crank it on the side.
Speaker 1: It straightens the foot and it makes like a bone sound,
Speaker 1: like a popping bone sound. It's a it's not a
Speaker 1: real effect. That thing actually doesn't work. It doesn't correct bunyans,
Speaker 1: but it is satisfying to watch. I'll give you that.
Speaker 1: I love picturing you like just only like years ago
Speaker 1: in a library with one of those newspaper Remember you
Speaker 1: would look microphone slips like micro feats of looking for
Speaker 1: a wart, like like I'm trying to solve a crime.
Speaker 1: Is this so funny to think? Like you can anything
Speaker 1: you think of in your brain. The weirdest thing on
Speaker 1: earth is one click away and you can see it
Speaker 1: in seconds. It's well. I used to look at my
Speaker 1: My mom had this medical journal and there were there
Speaker 1: there was a dermatology section that how all these skin things?
Speaker 1: And that's where I first saw pictures of warts and
Speaker 1: I was just like, and there's a little seats. They
Speaker 1: looked like seats, but their blood vessels. Oh it was.
Speaker 1: I used to sneak it. I was obsessed. I would
Speaker 1: go to Barnes and Noble and look at pictures like
Speaker 1: I just loved it. It's so weird. I don't know
Speaker 1: what's wrong with me. I truly don't. Oh your mom,
Speaker 1: your dad comes in and you're like underneath the blanket,
Speaker 1: like like, oh my god, it's worse. We gotta go
Speaker 1: to break. We'll be right back after this. Alright, we're back, yeah,
Speaker 1: I uh. I went and did two sets last night,
Speaker 1: one at the Comedy Store, when at laugh Factory, and
Speaker 1: it was so fun. I haven't been on stage since
Speaker 1: the Tom Sigura show and then before that, I hadn't
Speaker 1: been on stage since September four September, yeah, since two
Speaker 1: thousand one. Um, so it was it's just wild to
Speaker 1: be back at it. But it just like comes back
Speaker 1: to you right away, and it is. The weird thing
Speaker 1: is like my I haven't performed except at the Fox
Speaker 1: Theater with Tom Sigrette and I wasn't really paying attention
Speaker 1: to the sound just sounded so different than most of
Speaker 1: the stage I perform on. But it was weird. My
Speaker 1: voice was definitely different. I could I could say like
Speaker 1: all the bits that I had been used to doing,
Speaker 1: like they're just like more up here, and there's like,
Speaker 1: um like I just don't have to try as hard.
Speaker 1: It felt so good. And I was at the store
Speaker 1: and I was bringing up so you know, you there's
Speaker 1: no host. Each comedian just brings up the next comedian.
Speaker 1: So you end your set and you're like, thank you guys,
Speaker 1: and then you have to go your next comedian. It's
Speaker 1: the worst part of my life is doing that part.
Speaker 1: I hate it because I don't know what to say.
Speaker 1: Sometimes like it's just random who who is going to
Speaker 1: be after you? And sometimes I don't know their credits,
Speaker 1: so I have to look them up beforehand, like as
Speaker 1: they're in the room with me, like backstage, I'm just like, oh,
Speaker 1: how are you? And I'm like googling their name to
Speaker 1: be like what have they done? And um galla yeah,
Speaker 1: So I like, yeah, I'm just like he smashes you
Speaker 1: don't bring your water all around him. Um, He's like,
Speaker 1: I change, I change, I change, I do cantle lofe.
Speaker 1: Now come on, Gallagher. You know reference to Mark Myrin's
Speaker 1: podcast with Gallagher. Come on, Gallagher, isn't that what happened?
Speaker 1: Gallagher like left the room. Yeah, you walked out of
Speaker 1: the interview, and he goes, come on, Gallagher, come on.
Speaker 1: So I was there last night. It was me, Jeremiah Watkins,
Speaker 1: Annie Letterman, and Owen Smith backstage and I was bringing
Speaker 1: up Owen Smith. So I did my set. And I
Speaker 1: really hate hosting. I've never been good at it from
Speaker 1: the first time I ever hosted. It's just so unnatural
Speaker 1: to me to go like, how you guys feeling tonight cool?
Speaker 1: And then you have to go like so I was
Speaker 1: shaving my pussy like it just is such a weird,
Speaker 1: Like you know, an EMC is. Do you know what
Speaker 1: an m C stands for? Andrew, Yeah, micro cop well
Speaker 1: in your case, but in other people's something else. Seriously, yes,
Speaker 1: So yeah, you're you're supposed to be like welcome to
Speaker 1: the show and just like very and it just doesn't.
Speaker 1: It's some people are great at it, others aren't. I've
Speaker 1: never been good at it. I nervous and it's just
Speaker 1: such such a bummer. At the end of a good set,
Speaker 1: you have to kind of like turn into this other person.
Speaker 1: And um, last night, I I had the guy's intro
Speaker 1: I knew and I actually like Owen Smith and I
Speaker 1: think he's really funny. So it's like easy for me
Speaker 1: to like, you know, hype this guy up and I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know you he is hilarious. I've known forever. He Uh.
Speaker 1: The show is continuing to be great. You have so
Speaker 1: many great comics to night. The next guy is no different.
Speaker 1: He is a writer for black Is. You've seen him
Speaker 1: all over your TV and in movies. Please welcome to stage,
Speaker 1: Owen Wilson. I said Owen Wilson instead of Smith, And
Speaker 1: as Owen was coming out of my mouth, three names
Speaker 1: came to mind. It was either Benjamin Smith, or Wilson,
Speaker 1: and I picked one because there's an Owen Benjamin who
Speaker 1: no longer does comedy, I don't think, or at least
Speaker 1: he doesn't like all right circles. Then there's Owen Wilson,
Speaker 1: who I didn't even realize. When I said Owen Wilson,
Speaker 1: I knew it was wrong, and instantly I was like,
Speaker 1: I mean Smith, I mean Smith, and I was like, God,
Speaker 1: damn it, and Owen comes out from behind the curtain
Speaker 1: behind me, and I go, I'm sorry, And then I
Speaker 1: thought I had said Owen Benjamin. So when I said
Speaker 1: Owen Wilson, I thought I was saying Owen Benjamin and
Speaker 1: I go, oh my God, not Owen Wilson. He's canceled,
Speaker 1: So that doesn't even make sense to anyone. So it
Speaker 1: was so confusing. I felt so bad, and I had
Speaker 1: so much anxiety when I came up stage because then
Speaker 1: Owen has to just go deal with that, which is fine.
Speaker 1: I mean, it gave him something to joke about, and
Speaker 1: he is a nice person and has no ego about
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff at all. But I'm backstage like
Speaker 1: I just had an amazing set, and then I'm like
Speaker 1: I ruined it with that I was like so scared
Speaker 1: that he was that, Like, I just sometimes my brain
Speaker 1: just doesn't work and I feel so stupid. I feel
Speaker 1: like I feel like the same way I feel when
Speaker 1: I used to be in like gym class and not
Speaker 1: be able to catch a ball, just like why can't
Speaker 1: you do this thing that's normal? Like what did you do?
Speaker 1: Why did your brain do that? Like I was so
Speaker 1: mad at myself and I just couldn't let it go.
Speaker 1: It was until Owen came off stage and was saying goodbye,
Speaker 1: and I was like, I'm so sorry, and everyone backstage,
Speaker 1: Annie and Jeremiah and uh Jessica, this other comedian where
Speaker 1: we were all they were like, who cares, it's not
Speaker 1: a big deal, and I'm like, I just totally fucked
Speaker 1: it up. Everyone's gonna know him, such like why am
Speaker 1: I such? I was just revealed as someone who was
Speaker 1: so competent, so good, so like and then a total
Speaker 1: mess because after I sucked it up, I was like,
Speaker 1: I mean, seth, I mean And then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: I get back to Nikki in fourth grade, just being
Speaker 1: so insecure, not knowing what she's saying, nervous, like I'm
Speaker 1: just like, why do I why can't there just be
Speaker 1: a fucking host. I guess it's easier this way, but yeah,
Speaker 1: there's it's a different brain. You know a lot of
Speaker 1: people they always go, how do you do? Stand up?
Speaker 1: And it's like, I couldn't do a Microsoft Excel presentation.
Speaker 1: And I think that's where when you're an m C
Speaker 1: and you're talking like this, you have to turn on
Speaker 1: that I'm addressing a crowd voice, and it's like it's
Speaker 1: not natural. It's just like a different part of your brain.
Speaker 1: It's a different kind of presentation voice, especially at the
Speaker 1: end of a set where you're completely in the moment,
Speaker 1: you're flowing, you're thinking of funny to go from that too? Okay,
Speaker 1: are you guys read it's it's it's I remember the
Speaker 1: first time I introduced you. Do you remember what I said? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It was really bad, freak. It was like my big,
Speaker 1: my big moment. Nikki gave me the opportunity to host
Speaker 1: the first time. Yeah, I had a great set, did
Speaker 1: very well. You didn't really hear it because you're in
Speaker 1: the back. Uh you know, Yeah, I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1: But it's not because of you. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I know. I'm just waking aout. So then when you
Speaker 1: came up, I go, I was so nervous and it
Speaker 1: was and I should have worked on this. I should
Speaker 1: at least wrote it down. And then I go, you
Speaker 1: you saw her on Howard Stern, you heard her on Conan,
Speaker 1: and now she's here tonight, something like that, something like
Speaker 1: you see her on you up the Serious x M,
Speaker 1: and you on Howard's Stern, you smelled her on con
Speaker 1: You're like going through the five sets is like you
Speaker 1: got them all wrong and so funny. Yeah. And so
Speaker 1: then I get off and I'm I feel exactly how
Speaker 1: you're feeling now. And I was like really funked up
Speaker 1: over it. And then I go, all right, next show,
Speaker 1: I do the yeah, and you look at me, you go,
Speaker 1: I know it's funny, but like work on it. That
Speaker 1: is annoying. And like you say, so like when Benedict
Speaker 1: Polizi opened for me. He was from f Boy Island.
Speaker 1: When he opened for me in Vegas, he had like
Speaker 1: his manager with him and he Benedict is on stage
Speaker 1: and I'm about to go, you know, on to stage,
Speaker 1: and I just want to give everyone who has performed
Speaker 1: a shout out him, like give it up for Anya
Speaker 1: and Benedict, but I want to say his name again,
Speaker 1: so people follow him and everything, and I go to
Speaker 1: his manager real quick. I was like, it's Polize, right,
Speaker 1: and he goes, yes, Polizy, it's not POLITZI, it's Polize
Speaker 1: And I go, why would you give me that? So
Speaker 1: of course I go out and I go, did it's Lizzy?
Speaker 1: And I say the completely wrong thing, and I go,
Speaker 1: I would have never done that had his manager not
Speaker 1: gotten in my ear. But yeah, you just feel like
Speaker 1: it's like, yes, it's it was, so it's it is that.
Speaker 1: But that's what I get really nervous, is like I
Speaker 1: feel like, you know, it's it's almost like you're a
Speaker 1: race car driver and you're so good at what you
Speaker 1: do and every turn is so precise, and every little
Speaker 1: decision you make and then a bee flies in your
Speaker 1: car and then you look unhinged and crazy like you
Speaker 1: start going and everyone like knows you're a fool, you
Speaker 1: know how like sometimes you know, um, when people fall,
Speaker 1: you're just like, oh no, you're not like an Oscar
Speaker 1: winning actor. You just felt like you just look that's
Speaker 1: how it looks. You're human. But it almost makes you
Speaker 1: go like, oh, no, like it takes away from the
Speaker 1: whole thing. People don't realize like, oh, Nicky, no one
Speaker 1: cares is it wasn't a big deal, And it was,
Speaker 1: and it truly wasn't a big deal. It's just a set.
Speaker 1: But like people, I bet you anything, if I hadn't
Speaker 1: have done that, they would have had a better review
Speaker 1: of my performance had that thing not happened at the end,
Speaker 1: because it took something like subconsciously, it took something from
Speaker 1: people's brains and we're like, she's kind of a dork
Speaker 1: that doesn't know what's going on. There's something. Whether or
Speaker 1: not they would ever admit it to themselves, I bet
Speaker 1: science would show that they subconsciously rated me a little
Speaker 1: bit less um professional because of it, because it was unprofessional.
Speaker 1: I didn't know what I was saying. Um. But Owen
Speaker 1: was so nice about He was like, I don't care.
Speaker 1: He was like, I have the worst name for entertainment.
Speaker 1: It is so boring. It is just there's nothing to
Speaker 1: remember about it. It is just Owen Smith. He was like,
Speaker 1: it happens all the time. He's like, I don't care.
Speaker 1: So he was very nice about it. But um, And
Speaker 1: then I went over to the laugh factory and that was, Um,
Speaker 1: that was fun too. That was a really good time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's nice to be working on new stuff and
Speaker 1: getting up again and um yeah, and usually I like
Speaker 1: walk across that. Usually I'm like staying across the street
Speaker 1: from these places when I come to l a and
Speaker 1: do sets. So it was it was nice to take
Speaker 1: a drive in and kind of like think about what
Speaker 1: I was gonna do and give it some thought because
Speaker 1: that's pretty much the only thought that goes into it
Speaker 1: these days. And uh, it was fun. And then you know,
Speaker 1: I went back home and Chris obviously two minutes, but
Speaker 1: it's you know, I'm going at nine o'clock at night.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it wasn't bad. But I got some cars.
Speaker 1: They're just shaky. There is a real difference between an
Speaker 1: Uber Black and an Uber X. There are some cars
Speaker 1: that are just like they're like the whole time, the
Speaker 1: axles loose or something. I don't like it. Um, but
Speaker 1: it's Uber's expensive. But I also talked to an Uber
Speaker 1: driver the other night from l A X to our place,
Speaker 1: and poor Uber drivers, if you take ubers, please tip
Speaker 1: them well. Uber is fleecing these guys. They are not
Speaker 1: making any money. It's and they can't like strike and
Speaker 1: come together because they all work. There's no like hub
Speaker 1: where they all go hang out and sit around the
Speaker 1: water cooler and like talk. So there it's it's hard
Speaker 1: for them to like get together and go like this
Speaker 1: is not good. But they're just all barely getting by.
Speaker 1: It's really sad, and Lifted apparently is worse. So that's
Speaker 1: I just want to put that out there. Please tip
Speaker 1: your Uber drivers very generously if you can afford to,
Speaker 1: because there no because parking is such a bit. I mean,
Speaker 1: I I do think because I was talking to Christmas
Speaker 1: and I was like, it'd be ideal to have like
Speaker 1: a personal dress chauffeur because Amy had that for a while.
Speaker 1: She would just like there was always a guy that
Speaker 1: was just waiting for her. And I go, that's what
Speaker 1: Uber is, though, Like I'll just get that and um,
Speaker 1: and it is nice to not have to find parking
Speaker 1: and deal with street parking and the and and like
Speaker 1: paying insurance and worrying about like hitting someone, and you know,
Speaker 1: I think it's just worth it to just do just
Speaker 1: do Uber everywhere I can. I like the idea, but
Speaker 1: I don't like the idea that I'm supporting an industry
Speaker 1: that sucks over their workers, though, But I don't know
Speaker 1: what to do. What do you do? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe just you find a guy. That's why
Speaker 1: I guess the personal chauffeur is better if it's his
Speaker 1: own company and it all goes to him. Guess that's
Speaker 1: why that could be better. But I'll be so much
Speaker 1: more expensive it's already, I mean, unless you get a
Speaker 1: guy with a get a helicopter. I do. I do worry.
Speaker 1: It's so peaceful out in Santa Monica. I thought I'd
Speaker 1: get out here and be like worried about I'm worried
Speaker 1: about tsunami, honestly, Like I just don't want to have
Speaker 1: to die drowning or getting hit by garbage in water.
Speaker 1: I'm so scared of natural weather events, and it feels
Speaker 1: like the Midwest is the safest place to not be
Speaker 1: around those. Also, the air out here, it feels good
Speaker 1: out by the ocean, but it's dry. I don't know. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm everyone. It was fun last night. I ran into
Speaker 1: Annie Letterman and Jeremiah Watkins backstage. We took um. There
Speaker 1: was a photographer there, and we all decided to do
Speaker 1: to pretend we're handsome and take a photo shoot. So
Speaker 1: that was really fun. So I look forward to that
Speaker 1: picture coming up. I was like, can I be Taylor?
Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't even know what that means.
Speaker 1: I just wanted and so we uh. But it was
Speaker 1: good because Annie was talking to me about going to
Speaker 1: a hypnotist and she's just like so positive lately and like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, there was just like a different vibe
Speaker 1: about her. Annie Letterman is hilarious and very like. She
Speaker 1: made I told her she made me laugh the other
Speaker 1: day because I watched a clip and she was talking
Speaker 1: about how she had a dream where she was someone
Speaker 1: in a coffee shop witnessing her come like storming in
Speaker 1: and being like just like being loud Annie Letterman, and
Speaker 1: she like saw herself from a different perspective and was like, wow,
Speaker 1: I'm a lot. And I just related to that because
Speaker 1: I would never think about how much how loud and
Speaker 1: you know, um like just demanding attention you are. I mean,
Speaker 1: I she's a little bit more so than me. She
Speaker 1: like she really is just has so much confidence, is
Speaker 1: so like I don't know, I wish I had more
Speaker 1: of that. And she even said it she was like,
Speaker 1: you're richer than me. Why aren't you happier to me?
Speaker 1: She was like, you have you should be less insecure
Speaker 1: than I am. And I was like, I guess, but
Speaker 1: I'm just like not. And then we're talking about UM.
Speaker 1: She's talking about all like the um you know, psychedelic
Speaker 1: she's done that have made her like. She was like,
Speaker 1: I'm coming off a skank Fest weekend, which is this
Speaker 1: big comedy festival that they did in um Las Vegas
Speaker 1: with like tons like you know, so many of our
Speaker 1: comedian friends, Andrew and I his friends UM were there
Speaker 1: and she was like I said something like negative and
Speaker 1: she was like, oh, I said, I was talking about,
Speaker 1: you know, bringing people up on stage or and I
Speaker 1: was like, I hate it because either the persons had
Speaker 1: just to bring me up and I know they don't
Speaker 1: even like me and they have to be like this
Speaker 1: next comedian she's so funny, and I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: it's not like Bill Bird doesn't know who I am.
Speaker 1: I don't want to him to waste his breath on
Speaker 1: like coming up with my credits that he doesn't even know.
Speaker 1: Like I just get embarrassed by it. And she was like,
Speaker 1: we have to get every comedian loves each other now, like,
Speaker 1: what do you even She was like, Oh, I forgot,
Speaker 1: I'm coming off of a lot of psychedelics off this weekend.
Speaker 1: You're right, we probably don't like each other. But she
Speaker 1: was like don't. She goes, that's not a thing. Everyone
Speaker 1: likes each other, and she goes, oh wait, I'm just on.
Speaker 1: I'm still like tripping um. But she was super positive
Speaker 1: that I liked her vibe. I was. She was like,
Speaker 1: let it go because I was talking about how nervous
Speaker 1: I am to promote shows and make videos of like
Speaker 1: Hey Memphis, I'm coming to town. Hey Thousand Oaks, California,
Speaker 1: catch me this November. Like I'm just so humiliated by
Speaker 1: it and I can't do it. And Jeremiah and her
Speaker 1: really talk to me about how I need to remember
Speaker 1: that people actually want content from me, Like when they
Speaker 1: see a video come up there, like they want to
Speaker 1: watch it. Whereas I just have one female comic who
Speaker 1: is kind of a bully from two thousand thirteen in
Speaker 1: my head. She is always the person that stopps me
Speaker 1: from posting everything. She doesn't even exist anymore. She's older
Speaker 1: now and doesn't do that like I don't even think
Speaker 1: about the versions of her now, but the version she
Speaker 1: was in I think about that girl seeing me and
Speaker 1: going like you and I just can't get it out
Speaker 1: of my head. And they were like, you need to
Speaker 1: remember your fans actually want things from you, and that
Speaker 1: if you don't tell them where you're gonna be, they
Speaker 1: don't have a chance to see you. And really, what
Speaker 1: we do is like bring joy to people's lives and
Speaker 1: we get them out of their heads for a hour
Speaker 1: of their day. We give them relief in the form of,
Speaker 1: you know, laughing, and we also let them see the
Speaker 1: world differently. We make them feel less alone, like they
Speaker 1: were doing a service. So if you think about like
Speaker 1: you're denying someone the chance to see you by not
Speaker 1: promoting it, then you can maybe get yourself to promote
Speaker 1: more things. Because I think I just forget sometimes that
Speaker 1: anyone would want want anything from me because I have
Speaker 1: low self esteem. And I know I probably shouldn't say
Speaker 1: that on this podcast where people listen to me every day,
Speaker 1: but I just I forget that. It's so weird to
Speaker 1: forget that I have a product, even though that's my
Speaker 1: entire life. Is like the thing that I have made
Speaker 1: my career off of I forget people even want it,
Speaker 1: and I think that people actually don't want it and
Speaker 1: they're gonna make fun of it, and that they're gonna
Speaker 1: go They're gonna stop following me if I post too
Speaker 1: much like I'm gonna they're just gonna go, oh god
Speaker 1: and mute me. Like But the thing is, I never
Speaker 1: ever see someone promote their shows and go ever. I
Speaker 1: mean today I did because I go so much production
Speaker 1: value went into this. It's not even funny. Just make
Speaker 1: a video in your apartment talking selfie style, like why
Speaker 1: did you spend all this money on this video that
Speaker 1: literally lead to nothing? That's where I judge people. But
Speaker 1: I don't think me making a video like come see
Speaker 1: me in Davenport, Iowa gonna make people mad at me.
Speaker 1: Why do I have that in my head? I have
Speaker 1: the exact saying. I literally right before this podcast started,
Speaker 1: twenty minutes before, I made a selfie saying come see
Speaker 1: me in Austin, Texas. I'll be a cap city. And
Speaker 1: then I couldn't just say it sincerely, so I added
Speaker 1: like a little like stupid little joke like I'll be
Speaker 1: going down the Lazy River on the rope swing and
Speaker 1: get a cool taco with an authentic beer. Thanks, And
Speaker 1: that's a joke. That actually is a joke, Like that's
Speaker 1: I want it? Okay? Well, all I know is like
Speaker 1: it wasn't being viewed that much and not being liked,
Speaker 1: and I just took it down. I was like, I'll
Speaker 1: just put in my story. Did you wait for it?
Speaker 1: Did you? Did you monitor it for like minutes? I
Speaker 1: gave it minutes. We also know I'm crazy. I will
Speaker 1: if I post something. That's the thing. I don't care
Speaker 1: about the likes. Once I posted, it doesn't matter to me,
Speaker 1: and I won't check it. So I don't know why
Speaker 1: I even care. I've never once gone back on something
Speaker 1: and looked at the likes or the views. I've never
Speaker 1: done that, So why am I? Even if it did well,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know if it did poorly didn't, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: know what am I worried about. I'm worried that I'm
Speaker 1: worried about that one girl making fun of me and
Speaker 1: thinking that I'm a loser, or someone being like, oh,
Speaker 1: her face is kind of getting old. Oh she just
Speaker 1: did her lips. She shouldn't have done that. Sending it
Speaker 1: to people and the truth is I think that way
Speaker 1: because that's what I do I and I won't stop
Speaker 1: and and even said last night she was like, you're
Speaker 1: not going to stop being that awful about other people
Speaker 1: and judging them until you stop doing it to yourself.
Speaker 1: So it was kind of an epiphany that and crying
Speaker 1: as I walked down the street because my jeans didn't fit,
Speaker 1: and having my boyfriend be like, I've never think You've
Speaker 1: never looked better to me, and I'm like, I can't
Speaker 1: like breathe, Like I think I look good too, but
Speaker 1: I can't breathe, and I need to get new pants.
Speaker 1: And I was just like, I think where my brain
Speaker 1: goes as I go, it only got this amount of likes,
Speaker 1: which I don't really. It just makes me think, if
Speaker 1: it's this an amount of likes, then no one's going
Speaker 1: to come to this show, and no one likes me,
Speaker 1: no one think some funny Do you think that people
Speaker 1: will go to the show less if they see they'll
Speaker 1: actively not go to the show, whereas if they never
Speaker 1: saw that, they might go to the show, which doesn't
Speaker 1: make any sense because if they don't see that, they
Speaker 1: don't know about the show. Yeah, last night I made
Speaker 1: a poster. I can put pictures up all day long.
Speaker 1: Pictures posters, no problem. Video for me is excruciating. Yet
Speaker 1: I watch people all the time post stuff that is
Speaker 1: so and it wastes my time. I watch these people
Speaker 1: posting things, and I'm like, I watched this, I don't.
Speaker 1: It's not always that I scrutinize and judge. It's it's
Speaker 1: quite often that I go, man, I wish I could
Speaker 1: do that, and I just don't know what they'll hold
Speaker 1: up is. And so many besties have written me and
Speaker 1: said really nice things about when I kind of talk
Speaker 1: about these fears I have and and put my minded ease.
Speaker 1: But I think we just need to remember, like our
Speaker 1: job is to put out stuff, and if you know,
Speaker 1: if we don't do it, it's as if we're showing
Speaker 1: up to work and not doing data entry. We're just
Speaker 1: sitting there and staring at a blank screen, like we
Speaker 1: work in North Korea on a computer or whatever they do.
Speaker 1: If you've ever seen those videos where people are like,
Speaker 1: here's here's an active bunch of young North Koreans working
Speaker 1: on computers, and they're all just like they don't even
Speaker 1: know how to work a mouse, and it's just that
Speaker 1: that's that's what it would be like we we have
Speaker 1: to The work we we have to put in is
Speaker 1: putting out content and it's um like Jeremiah was saying,
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Watchings who does hilarious stuff, was like, sometimes I
Speaker 1: put out a video and I'm just like, no one
Speaker 1: wants this. I put out too much stuff, But like
Speaker 1: I have to remember this is my job and I
Speaker 1: have to. This is what people want. People do want this,
Speaker 1: People want to see your face people I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't know why it's so hard, And I guess it's
Speaker 1: not so hard for me to perform live because it's
Speaker 1: like once one thing and people can't go back and
Speaker 1: send it to their friends and make fun of it.
Speaker 1: It's that like lasting nature of a post that really
Speaker 1: gets me more so than video feels personal, Like even
Speaker 1: if it's a video, it feels more personal than like
Speaker 1: a poster. Like I don't know, I get hurt more,
Speaker 1: I get more emotional about it, and it's like I
Speaker 1: probably should talk to a shrink about it, to be honest,
Speaker 1: because I don't know why I value it so or
Speaker 1: like why it makes me think of my value more
Speaker 1: or less, Because I would say stop looking at the likes,
Speaker 1: like if you took that out of it, it might help,
Speaker 1: like because which I do. I just like, because you
Speaker 1: are putting a value, well, you're putting a value on it.
Speaker 1: If you look at the like you you are putting
Speaker 1: a value on it, like this is very successful or
Speaker 1: it's not, And then what does that mean? But if
Speaker 1: you just put it out there and because your fear
Speaker 1: is that someone's going to see it and say that's
Speaker 1: and make fun of it? Are that you are? You
Speaker 1: scare people make fun of you? I just think it's more. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think people will. First of all, I know promotional
Speaker 1: things get less likes, just like across the board, So
Speaker 1: I I understand why it doesn't do as well. And
Speaker 1: I think what it is is I get, uh, someone
Speaker 1: another comedian will come across and be like, forty eight
Speaker 1: likes on a show promoting this show. Other comedians like,
Speaker 1: so exactly what I said. So it's about other comedians
Speaker 1: judging you, not really like actual audience members, no actual
Speaker 1: people too, but yeah, there's no one really in particular.
Speaker 1: Can you hide the likes? I think there's a way
Speaker 1: to hide the likes you can, So let's just do that,
Speaker 1: which I do Okay, why didn't you do it on
Speaker 1: this last one? I don't know. I was just like,
Speaker 1: the other thing is the views. It was only two
Speaker 1: views in like twenty minutes, where usually I get like hundred.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, okay that quickly. So I was just like, alright,
Speaker 1: no one's seen as anyone going to see my stories anyway.
Speaker 1: If you're looking down so sad, sorry in the top
Speaker 1: of your keep that chin up. Andrew, I was counting
Speaker 1: each person I like. Anyways, go to Andrew Colin Comedy
Speaker 1: dot com and get tickets too much. Yeah, go to
Speaker 1: our shows. Um, I have a tour that is going

Speaker 1: let's do it. All right, we're back. Let's get to
Speaker 1: the news. Oh it's Wednesday, folks, you know what that means.
Speaker 1: It is Wednesday. Apparently we're having all the swells. Uh
Speaker 1: back to you in the booth there no okay? Well um.
Speaker 1: In sad news, Georgia college student died in only when
Speaker 1: he walked into the still spinning propeller of an airplane
Speaker 1: he had rented for a dinner date. This is awful.
Speaker 1: This kid wanted to be like he was on The Bachelor.
Speaker 1: He probably saved up his money to give this girl
Speaker 1: of his, of her of his dreams, like the best
Speaker 1: date of her life. They flied back after having the
Speaker 1: dinner date. They're getting out of the plane when he
Speaker 1: is just feeling confident about to get his maybe first
Speaker 1: kiss with her and walks right into the propeller and
Speaker 1: she and you know that everyone else yea, and use
Speaker 1: his The man's blood is lube. Yeah. I mean this
Speaker 1: is I regret saying that Andrew brought me there. I
Speaker 1: had to finish it. I am so disturbed by this
Speaker 1: story and I'm so so sad about it. Like I
Speaker 1: there was a girl. There was a woman. I think
Speaker 1: she survived. She walked into a propeller. These stories always
Speaker 1: I go deep. I go deep diving on these stories
Speaker 1: and trying to figure out every because it's just so
Speaker 1: disturbing to me. I am always so scared whatever I
Speaker 1: go on a tarmac to board a little plane or
Speaker 1: a helicopter or an I feel like I sound like
Speaker 1: I'm living quite a jet setting life. I've been. I've been.
Speaker 1: I've flown on some pgs before, but I have. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is something that commonly happens. People need to be
Speaker 1: very careful out there. If you ever board a plane,
Speaker 1: don't think that you're smarter than this guy. Like this
Speaker 1: could happen to anyone. It's like a low propeller and
Speaker 1: the propeller is going so fast you don't see it. Well,
Speaker 1: the opinion, it's so so sad. The date got out
Speaker 1: of the plane and then he comes out and walks
Speaker 1: towards the front of the plane. So he had walked
Speaker 1: into it. Yes, that's what happens. They walk into they
Speaker 1: don't see it because it's worrying so fast. You know,
Speaker 1: it's you don't see it. It looks like nothing. Or
Speaker 1: he could have been like talking to her and a
Speaker 1: little distracted and it was in his peripheral vision and
Speaker 1: so it wasn't I mean, but what those people propellers
Speaker 1: on the wings you know, like I always I don't
Speaker 1: think of it on the center most planes. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, I just want to think of
Speaker 1: it being there. I think it was two of his
Speaker 1: friends were flying, two of his friends were to pilots.
Speaker 1: Maybe he went to go say so something. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: imagine seeing that. I mean, that's the problem. Like first
Speaker 1: of all, having I don't even want to think about
Speaker 1: the injuries he sustained to kill him, like it must
Speaker 1: have been so awful. But witnessing that those people are
Speaker 1: going to have so much trauma, it's so awful. Please
Speaker 1: be careful out there. I have another called kind of thing, like,
Speaker 1: first of all, you know, I did the seatbelt ran yesterday.
Speaker 1: I did a seatbelt right yesterday. And um, the other night,
Speaker 1: I woke up Chris in the middle of the night.
Speaker 1: Did I tell this one about drowning? Don't ever try
Speaker 1: to save a drowning person jumping in Yes, what do
Speaker 1: you mean? I think this weekend? But I woke up
Speaker 1: Chris in the middle of the night, like well, I
Speaker 1: thought he was still awake, but we were like kind
Speaker 1: of drifting off to sleep. Both on Reddit that's what
Speaker 1: we do, and then we share each other like share. Well,
Speaker 1: sometimes we'll share the same thing at the same time
Speaker 1: with each other because we're like we're both on Reddit.
Speaker 1: But um, I saw this thing that was like, you know,
Speaker 1: a life pro tip, and it was like, don't ever
Speaker 1: try to save a drowning person by jumping into the water,
Speaker 1: because no matter how good of a swimmer you are,
Speaker 1: a drowning person is frantic, is flopping around, doesn't know
Speaker 1: what they're doing, and they you will drown too. They'll
Speaker 1: they'll drown you and so and even me, I'm like,
Speaker 1: a really pretty I think that's one of the things
Speaker 1: I'm best at in the world, is swimming and staying afloat.
Speaker 1: And even I was like, oh, I think I'd be okay.
Speaker 1: And I read further and it was like, you know,
Speaker 1: my friend, this happened to my friend. He was an
Speaker 1: accomplished swimming swimmer. He died from someone pulling them under.
Speaker 1: So what you do is you, you know, you throw
Speaker 1: something out to them. You'll both die. Like if it's
Speaker 1: let's say you stay on the boat and you're like
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna watch someone die, well either that or
Speaker 1: you both die. So you know, hand them a broomstick,
Speaker 1: throw them a rope do something like that, but just
Speaker 1: or honestly it said wait till they're unconscious and then
Speaker 1: go in, wait till they stop flopping around, because they
Speaker 1: will pull you down. So that's just a good thing
Speaker 1: to know if you are ever in that situation, because
Speaker 1: I think my first reaction would be jump in and
Speaker 1: save them, and I would have died had I not
Speaker 1: read that a week ago or whatever it is I
Speaker 1: think of Phil Phil Collins song was about that, but
Speaker 1: that was what I think, Like, that's so funny to
Speaker 1: wait till they drown until you saved. You're just likescious
Speaker 1: when you when you start to see the light. That's
Speaker 1: what I'm going to make the plunge in and go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's like a little why I feel like I've heard.
Speaker 1: It's the same thing about quick saying remember quick saying
Speaker 1: I remember someone go don't ever don't fight in to
Speaker 1: get them. And also rip tides. If you don't know
Speaker 1: about rip tides always spin parallel because they go perpendicular
Speaker 1: to the water. And if you don't know what those
Speaker 1: words are, go back to school. So a riptide is
Speaker 1: going to be a thin stretch of water that's being
Speaker 1: going to pull you out, and if you fight it
Speaker 1: by trying to swim back to the shore towards the shore,
Speaker 1: you're going to tire her out because you were just
Speaker 1: in this flume. It's like a little river that is
Speaker 1: pulling you out and you're going it's going to tire
Speaker 1: you out and you'll drown. But if you just swim
Speaker 1: to the side, you'll get out of it faster. So
Speaker 1: these are just little things. If you have any water
Speaker 1: tips to share with us on the show, just you know,
Speaker 1: leave us a message. The link is in our bio.
Speaker 1: Uh noah, what's the next story? Next story is Drew
Speaker 1: Barrymore has said that she has no interest in altering
Speaker 1: the aging process with cosmetic surgery and has vowed to
Speaker 1: live life naturally despite pressures due to working in Hollywood.
Speaker 1: So she says, now wait till it gets worse. Not
Speaker 1: that Actually she looks amazing. I'm I'm captivated by Drew Barrymore.
Speaker 1: She shows up on my Instagram and I just think
Speaker 1: she is so beautiful. I love her hair, I love
Speaker 1: her look, I love who styles whoever styles her and
Speaker 1: does everything for her show like she is just one
Speaker 1: of the most watchable faces ever and and it doesn't
Speaker 1: look like she has had work done, and she looks
Speaker 1: fucking good. But it's hard to say you won't someday.
Speaker 1: I know, I don't know. I respect that. Um, that
Speaker 1: is not who I am. I'm planning a facelift around
Speaker 1: fit forty forty two. Um, maybe smaller ones before then.
Speaker 1: And I know that's like makes people sad, But I
Speaker 1: feel the same way about Like if you know my
Speaker 1: knees gave out, I would get like a knee replacement,
Speaker 1: Like I just two feel good. I need to not
Speaker 1: and I sleep on my face so hard. It's just
Speaker 1: like aging sucks. But I do respect that. Andrew, what
Speaker 1: do you think about it? Well, I feel like I
Speaker 1: think people get upset if remember when Alicia Keys was like,
Speaker 1: I don't wear makeup. I'm going to no makeup. But
Speaker 1: she has a gorgeous face. She doesn't never naturally she
Speaker 1: doesn't need makeup. So people are like, well, it's easy
Speaker 1: for you, because, like Drew Barrymore, I feel like it's
Speaker 1: almost in the same vein of like you are aging
Speaker 1: incredibly well, maybe you're lucky enough where you haven't had
Speaker 1: the she she could get done. I'm not being rude
Speaker 1: about that. She could get things done very easily, like
Speaker 1: she she's a woman that most people at her age
Speaker 1: in Hollywood would do something, would would have already done stuff,
Speaker 1: and she is proof that, Like you can look fucking
Speaker 1: sexy and beautiful without having that stuff done. But you
Speaker 1: that's the problem is you go, what am I leaving
Speaker 1: on the table? Hopefully a lot of skin when they
Speaker 1: remove it? But what am I? What if I don't
Speaker 1: do something? What what could it be if I actually
Speaker 1: did something? Like how good could I look? And what
Speaker 1: would that mean? Like I even last night when I
Speaker 1: was crying about my jeans, Chris is like, I think
Speaker 1: you look amazing, and I was like, it is not
Speaker 1: about how I look. I think I look great too.
Speaker 1: It's just I want to not buy I just don't
Speaker 1: want to buy any I like my clothes and I
Speaker 1: want to feel like I'm not suffocating in them, and
Speaker 1: I don't want to take off my pants and have
Speaker 1: an imprint like my body is made of plato. You
Speaker 1: know that doesn't go away and hill the next morning
Speaker 1: from my jeans cutting off my circulation. It's like I
Speaker 1: just feel deeply uncomfortable in such tight clothes. But it
Speaker 1: is I feel like you made up a word there,
Speaker 1: by the way, which is incredible. What did I make up?
Speaker 1: I think you said stuff a stuff acating, which is
Speaker 1: makes it. It's a perfect word for what your legs
Speaker 1: are doing in the pain. And if I did say that,
Speaker 1: it didn't mean to, but that does. Yeah, I'm stuffocated.
Speaker 1: Um go back in the year what I said to um,
Speaker 1: it's a great word, though it's exactly what that word
Speaker 1: should be. It's just so uncomfortable and I just and
Speaker 1: on my Instagram knows what I'm into. Man. All they
Speaker 1: show me is liposuction, face lifts, nos jobs before and
Speaker 1: afters M, sculpting people just like you feel like when
Speaker 1: you go to when you touch down in l A,
Speaker 1: you start thinking about these things more because obviously it's more.
Speaker 1: It's done more there. Even though because the Graham is
Speaker 1: l a baby. Like everything I see on Instagram, I
Speaker 1: don't really leave the house in St. Louis and and
Speaker 1: people in Sat. Louis are beautiful, Um somewhere I haven't
Speaker 1: been to that place, but I have a feeling somewhere
Speaker 1: they're looking good. But no, people say Louis are stunning.
Speaker 1: It's everywhere now like everyone can look this good. But
Speaker 1: it's mainly on Instagram and online where I see the
Speaker 1: stuff that I you know, l A follows me everywhere
Speaker 1: on there, and it's hard and body positivity accounts like
Speaker 1: they're always girls who are crying and being like, yesterday
Speaker 1: was hard. I cried fourteen hours because I hate my body,
Speaker 1: But today I realized that God gave me that. I'm like,
Speaker 1: so yesterday you were sobbing, and today you have it
Speaker 1: all figured out and everything's fine. Now. I just don't
Speaker 1: buy this, like the whole thing about girls. And then
Speaker 1: there's this other account I follow, and I want to
Speaker 1: fucking kill this woman. She is sticks in and she
Speaker 1: always writes, makes these take talks of like you know
Speaker 1: when they like point at different places and little facts
Speaker 1: pop up and she's like, remember when we used to
Speaker 1: starve ourselves, Remember calorie counting no more? And it's like,
Speaker 1: but you are literally your a little twig. You are
Speaker 1: this that I don't even understand what you could have
Speaker 1: wanted your body to be before. Don't talk to me
Speaker 1: about body acceptance. You look amazing and like it's not
Speaker 1: about diet culture. It's just I'm sure she is beyond
Speaker 1: all that. But I kind of call bullshit, and I
Speaker 1: call bullshit on it pretty much all of it. I
Speaker 1: don't I don't know if you could send me anybody,
Speaker 1: if people out there nobody positive accounts that you actually believe,
Speaker 1: and don't send me Lizzo because I have a hard
Speaker 1: time believing that as well. Um, I would love to
Speaker 1: see it. But look, I'm sure there's a pair of
Speaker 1: triple zero pants that she can't fit into right now,
Speaker 1: and she's freaking out. She's part of these girls making
Speaker 1: green tea watch of drinks and talking to me about
Speaker 1: like balance and their body and loving them. Don't they
Speaker 1: just pop up? It's like I want videos and you're
Speaker 1: showing me it's it really is, and then then you
Speaker 1: get sucked into it and then it just feels like
Speaker 1: cutting because you just want to want more. You want
Speaker 1: to see more of why this woman's life is so
Speaker 1: much better than yours. And even the women who are
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not talking about like just glorifying all
Speaker 1: thin people. There are women that are, like, you know,
Speaker 1: bigger than me, whose lives like completely I am jealous
Speaker 1: of because they seem to just be so happy and
Speaker 1: love themselves and not and look good in their clothes
Speaker 1: and I'm like, why can't I do that? It's just
Speaker 1: it's it's frustrating, but I'm gonna work on it. And
Speaker 1: by working on it, I do not mean I'm going
Speaker 1: to diet or exercise. I'm working on It's all about
Speaker 1: like other stuff. Because even last night, when I was
Speaker 1: crying to Chris about my tight pants, he was like,
Speaker 1: so what are you gonna do? Like, what's what's the
Speaker 1: solution here? Or at least I said something like I
Speaker 1: just need to work harder, and I could tell he
Speaker 1: was like, what does that mean? I'm like, and it
Speaker 1: doesn't mean dieting, it doesn't mean going to a workout class.
Speaker 1: It means what is the best thing a guy can
Speaker 1: say to a woman that's like, I feel fat today,
Speaker 1: I feel different. I look different today than she did yesterday,
Speaker 1: which you know is irrational. I wouldn't notice it in
Speaker 1: a million years. Like I think you've never looked better,
Speaker 1: and that makes me feel good. And even last night
Speaker 1: I was like, that matters to me, Like you thinking
Speaker 1: that I look better at this size than the size
Speaker 1: I prefer to be. That matters to me, Like I
Speaker 1: want to look good to you, like I would prefer
Speaker 1: to look good to you. That good to me, So
Speaker 1: just like saying I don't know what you're talking about,
Speaker 1: Like I don't see it, but I'm sorry you feel
Speaker 1: that way. But the truth is it's don't and don't
Speaker 1: ever say anything about like, well we can go to
Speaker 1: the gym together, maybe we can start eating healthier meals.
Speaker 1: Don't do that, ship because that is not what a
Speaker 1: girl wants to here. Noah, do you agree? Yeah? Agree,
Speaker 1: don't don't say like, hey, well we can start going
Speaker 1: to more classes. Why don't we start doing this more?
Speaker 1: Like girls, just when we're feeling quote unquote fat or
Speaker 1: disgusting or whatever the thing is, we just want to
Speaker 1: feel loved. We're feeling completely unloved bole and we just
Speaker 1: want like to feel loved and like spiritually and that's
Speaker 1: the work that needs to be done, is like you
Speaker 1: need to work on your insides. And I it took
Speaker 1: me fucking twentysomething years to figure that out. That the solution.
Speaker 1: When I'm feeling this way and I'm allowed to feel
Speaker 1: this way. Sometimes people write to me and they're like,
Speaker 1: you seriously still have body issues. You talk about wanting
Speaker 1: to be thin all the time. It's like, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: fucking ship. It's coming at me from all angles. But
Speaker 1: the thing I don't do any more starve myself. The
Speaker 1: thing I don't do any more exercise and burn a
Speaker 1: thousand calories at a time, thinking that's gonna give me
Speaker 1: anything except ravenous hunger. That's gonna make me eat more
Speaker 1: than I should. And but I'm allowed to complain. I'm
Speaker 1: allowed to feel uneasy in my body. I'm allowed to
Speaker 1: say that I don't feel I don't feel good. And
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that I think that you listener would
Speaker 1: not like I think some people go, well, if you
Speaker 1: think you look bad, that you would be disgusted by me,
Speaker 1: That's not it. My my self esteem comes from inside.
Speaker 1: I have a spiritual problem of like having feeling like
Speaker 1: I'm not enough, I'm not good enough. And it's has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with my outer appearance. Because I have
Speaker 1: been the size and my face has looked the way
Speaker 1: I wanted it to look before, my body has looked
Speaker 1: exactly the way that I would want my body to
Speaker 1: look before, and I still wasn't happy. So I I
Speaker 1: know that for a fact. I go back and look
Speaker 1: at pictures and I go, God, look at your body.
Speaker 1: Then it was like you would that was everything like that,
Speaker 1: that you looked like a supermodel, like you had a
Speaker 1: supermodel figure, and I wasn't happy. And I remember the
Speaker 1: day those pictures were taken. So I just know that's
Speaker 1: not the solution. But the solution is definitely not for
Speaker 1: a boyfriend to recommend dieting or exercising with you. Um,
Speaker 1: let's go to final thought and um have a little
Speaker 1: bit of Andrew's Short sir Stories Circle segment special Andrew's
Speaker 1: Short Story Circles Segment. All right, Andrew, what do you
Speaker 1: got for us today? Um? I hinted at it a
Speaker 1: few months or like a month ago, but when I
Speaker 1: went to so my brother was nice enough to my
Speaker 1: older brother, who's successful in alpha male kind of alphash,
Speaker 1: I guess he just gets it done. He always my
Speaker 1: whole life. He's an Alfalfa Mayle. He was nice enough
Speaker 1: to offer a trip with me and Brenna to go
Speaker 1: to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. They sent us a uh itinerary.
Speaker 1: That's a big thing that they do is like you know,
Speaker 1: from nine to ten will be you know, looking at
Speaker 1: rob very regimented schedule. It's almost as if that makes
Speaker 1: people successful. It's almost like that's the key to it.
Speaker 1: But let's make fun of it instead. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: what losers? What losers? Successful people? Yeah, I mean he's
Speaker 1: gotten better. And his wife is similar, Like she's very organized.
Speaker 1: They're both professionals, like professionals, like do very well. She's
Speaker 1: a doctor, he's a runs a hedge fund. Like everything
Speaker 1: is organized and whatever. And then, um, you know, I
Speaker 1: could have gone to Jackson Hole and stayed in the
Speaker 1: bed and maybe seeing like one boulder and been like
Speaker 1: holy shit, you know, like nothing. I never have organized
Speaker 1: my whole life. So they send us this uh website
Speaker 1: of an activity we can do, which is essentially hiking.
Speaker 1: I thought it was hiking. I didn't want to look
Speaker 1: into it because it looked very scary and it was
Speaker 1: like jagged rock and it was something I didn't want
Speaker 1: to do. I don't like heights, and because of that,
Speaker 1: I didn't look into it because I was so afraid.
Speaker 1: And then I get there, We fly in and it's
Speaker 1: are you one of those guys? It's like I got
Speaker 1: the itinerary, babe, you just all handle things? Or did
Speaker 1: you share it with her? I'm not. I'm not that
Speaker 1: guy at all. But she's a ledge head so she
Speaker 1: she looked at it and she's like, oh, I hope
Speaker 1: we did the hardest one. And I was like, I
Speaker 1: think you might have to. So I'm thinking she might
Speaker 1: have to go without me this whole time. I'm just like,
Speaker 1: you go without me, I'll stay behind. I'll cook for
Speaker 1: the kids, I'll take care of the or whatever. I
Speaker 1: can make a scrambled eat. So I can't image making
Speaker 1: enough food for two people. Okay, go on, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: would eat it before I'd be like, all right for
Speaker 1: for me, one for you, said, okay, stop looking at me,
Speaker 1: bitch talking to the three year old. Um. So we
Speaker 1: get there and it's time and we go and we
Speaker 1: take the gondola up like eight thousand feet, so you're
Speaker 1: not only climbing from like the bottom, you're climbing you're
Speaker 1: starting starting at the top. Yeah, I started from the
Speaker 1: top and we're more top. So I'm I'm losing my
Speaker 1: mind and like I want to be tough in a
Speaker 1: way in front of you know, my girlfriend. Everyone else
Speaker 1: is doing it, and my brother and his wife and
Speaker 1: and they're like, you can do it. And I hate
Speaker 1: when my brother gives me that voice, even though it
Speaker 1: means well, he's proud of me. He's like, you got this,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I know, I got it, motherfucker. I
Speaker 1: can do this. You're doing it. I could do it.
Speaker 1: Like I get defensive, you know. And uh So we
Speaker 1: start climbing, and literally the first thing you climb when
Speaker 1: you put on like full on gear, like helmet, like
Speaker 1: like repelling. Take No, I have no idea what this hike.
Speaker 1: I would need to know how long is this going
Speaker 1: to take? Exactly? Tell me exactly, what's gonnappen? When are
Speaker 1: we gonna eat lunch, winter snacks? When s nap time?
Speaker 1: What do we do if we see a goat? Like
Speaker 1: I would want to know everything. So you're not knowing
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen, all have fear. I just I want
Speaker 1: to know less and then I just do Um. So
Speaker 1: we get to the top and like literally the first
Speaker 1: thing is you climb like and it's vertical. It's just vertical,
Speaker 1: and there's like bars, there's metal bars into the rock.
Speaker 1: But you're climbing a mountain like you're starting and you're
Speaker 1: starting from eight thousand feet So I'm eight thousand ft
Speaker 1: up so I'm already looking down and I'm like, what
Speaker 1: the funk am I getting myself into But I gotta
Speaker 1: be tough, I gotta be strong. I gotta do this
Speaker 1: for some reason. And we get to this point where
Speaker 1: you have to then just hike a little bit up
Speaker 1: like the smallest little walkway, and you just fall down
Speaker 1: the jagged rock like thousands of feet into anything. At
Speaker 1: this point, you're not strapped in because we're walking into
Speaker 1: place where you have to strap into it. And I'm
Speaker 1: I'm frozen. I freeze, I literally freeze, and I have
Speaker 1: Brenna going just holding my hand, just hold, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't like part of me is like wanting to
Speaker 1: be if I've slipped, you're going down with me? Then
Speaker 1: wait till I fall, Wait till then. So she's like,
Speaker 1: you got it. And the more I hear that voice,
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. That's being pitied, it's
Speaker 1: being babied. You you are want to be a strong man,
Speaker 1: and you have your girlfriend talking to you like you're
Speaker 1: a baby. So yeah, men are not gonna respond to
Speaker 1: that voice well, and the instructors going, you got it,
Speaker 1: And then I hate that boy so much too. I
Speaker 1: hate it when people are just like everyone has to
Speaker 1: like lower they're like they have to. And then and
Speaker 1: then when you finally do it, they're like yay, and
Speaker 1: you're like shut so easily and you didn't congratulate yourselves.
Speaker 1: And now I'm like this, like like I just climbed
Speaker 1: Everest because I crossed a little bridge. It's so embarrassing.
Speaker 1: It's so patronizing. I hate it. My brother would do
Speaker 1: it when we visit off with you, because if I
Speaker 1: do something a little bit good, it's like, wow, Nikki,
Speaker 1: I'm just like, you wouldn't give a funk about this
Speaker 1: if you did it. Don't act like this is impressive.
Speaker 1: But people are just trying to be nice. I mean,
Speaker 1: Brenna was doing exactly what she should have done, which
Speaker 1: is ever. Yeah, but you know, it goes back to
Speaker 1: we visit my grandma, and my brother would be like,
Speaker 1: you did such a you know, I'm so proud of
Speaker 1: you boys for visiting. I'm like, you're two years older
Speaker 1: than me. I was going to visit grandma anyways. Okay,
Speaker 1: so anyway, so no, of course not. He drove and
Speaker 1: paid for to you over black and so then we
Speaker 1: start climbing the mountain again and I'm going last I
Speaker 1: thought maybe that'd be good but then my brother and
Speaker 1: Brenna decided to climb it without using the ladder the metal,
Speaker 1: So I'm in the back, so no one's pushing me
Speaker 1: to go forward, and I have to wait for them
Speaker 1: to go slow. So I'm having a full on panic
Speaker 1: attack on the mountain and I can't climb back down
Speaker 1: because climbing back down then I get start. It's like
Speaker 1: the way I feel a gonna get a helicopter. So
Speaker 1: we're climbing and finally I get in front and I realized, like, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm going on my own pace, and but I'm having
Speaker 1: a full on panic attack. Wow, having to do like
Speaker 1: usually you have a panic attack, you could lay down,
Speaker 1: you could stop. And then I don't know, like ten
Speaker 1: minutes and I started to get really present. I didn't
Speaker 1: focus on being nine thousand feet in the air. I
Speaker 1: just literally looked at the rock in front of me.
Speaker 1: And it sounds cheesy, but it's like it made me
Speaker 1: so fucking present and so like in the moment where
Speaker 1: nothing else mattered, ALIS on my phone like that ship,
Speaker 1: like you don't you All you can think about is
Speaker 1: the foot, you know, what's the next step and surviving?
Speaker 1: And I get to a point where I go, Okay,
Speaker 1: are we almost there? He's like, actually, we're only halfway.
Speaker 1: So I was still like kind of freaking out. But
Speaker 1: then I got to a point where I just started
Speaker 1: sucking climbing and I all my fears went away and
Speaker 1: all the focus I mean, and then that made me realize, oh,
Speaker 1: this is why these fucking people do this is because
Speaker 1: of how president it can make you. And then you
Speaker 1: go through that whatever. I got to the top and
Speaker 1: just fast forward. I I do bring that day to
Speaker 1: me in other things where when I can be present
Speaker 1: and lock in and be like, Okay, I made it
Speaker 1: through this, and it made I don't know, it made
Speaker 1: all the sense in the world why people do ship
Speaker 1: like that and why we always asked why are you
Speaker 1: climbing mountain? Why then do you I've never been more
Speaker 1: president in my life, other than maybe stand up at times.
Speaker 1: You have to be that locked in well. But but
Speaker 1: like I was able to bring that moment because you
Speaker 1: didn't have a choice, you would know there's no fleeing
Speaker 1: that moment, there was no fight or flight. You had
Speaker 1: to just fight. I feel that way. I feel that
Speaker 1: kind of presence when I have pain, when I have
Speaker 1: a migraine or cramps. You can't be distracted by anything,
Speaker 1: like you can't watch a TV show, you can't read
Speaker 1: like there, or or mental anguish if you're going through
Speaker 1: a break up. Like those moments I feel are also
Speaker 1: like extremely meditative in the sense that you can only
Speaker 1: focus on one thing, like you know, in meditation, you
Speaker 1: supposed to just focus on your breath, and you constantly
Speaker 1: wander away because your breath isn't that interesting and isn't
Speaker 1: that like demanding of your attention. But I think pain
Speaker 1: and also yeah, that fear of like I just gotta
Speaker 1: do this. I think that, um, yeah, that's actually that's
Speaker 1: cool that you've been able to like pull from it
Speaker 1: again and like remember that. But I also think that
Speaker 1: people who are ledgeheads and like constantly go out and
Speaker 1: do climbing stuff. Like I read this thing on Reddit
Speaker 1: where was like there was a woman climber who was
Speaker 1: like never data climber, never dat a guy who's into climbing.
Speaker 1: These people who are constantly seeking out these like death
Speaker 1: defying uh stunts, are these like you know, high adrenaline
Speaker 1: situations because they can't ever love you because they're running
Speaker 1: from pain in their life that they never emotional pain
Speaker 1: that they don't want to address, and that what better
Speaker 1: way to not think about anything else in your life,
Speaker 1: your fear of commitment, your fear of abandonment. If you're
Speaker 1: constantly climbing a wall where if you make one mistake
Speaker 1: you fall to your death, you don't have time to
Speaker 1: worry about anything emotional. And so it makes sense that
Speaker 1: people choose extreme sports to like hide from things, and
Speaker 1: that they really don't make the best partners. And this
Speaker 1: woman had this great thing about it, and I thought
Speaker 1: everyone was going to trash her because she was kind
Speaker 1: of annoying about it. She was like, don't date climbers,
Speaker 1: they're all the same. But everyone underneath was like, this
Speaker 1: checks out. My boyfriend was a climber. This checks that,
Speaker 1: Like they're they just aren't. They're never gonna be there
Speaker 1: emotionally because they're they're climbing away from their issues. So
Speaker 1: it is interesting. It is a definitely a um meditative steak.
Speaker 1: The guy that the instructor said that the people that die,
Speaker 1: obviously they're doing harder things, but it's the people that
Speaker 1: forget how dangerous it is, and those are the people
Speaker 1: walk into the propeller who aren't on alert, like thankfully,
Speaker 1: I'm an extremely anxious, totally paranoid person. But the second
Speaker 1: that I get a little bit too like everything's fine,
Speaker 1: that's when I the car kind of goes off the road.
Speaker 1: That's when you know I fall or something like when
Speaker 1: I start to get cocky about stuff. My dad always
Speaker 1: says that the one time this guy that was like um,
Speaker 1: part of the traveling will lend does. He was a
Speaker 1: tight rope walker. There's a story of he was like
Speaker 1: the father of I probably told this before because my
Speaker 1: dad tells it a billion It's probably has something to
Speaker 1: do with Cincinnati. But they were walkers and he was
Speaker 1: like the patriarch of the family and Um. His wife
Speaker 1: said that the only time she ever heard him doubt
Speaker 1: himself about a walk was the morning of the walk
Speaker 1: he died on. So it proves it like when you
Speaker 1: start to let that kind of doubt in of like
Speaker 1: what could go wrong and you aren't like focused. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it really pertains to this, but
Speaker 1: I always think about that, Like when you consider what
Speaker 1: can go wrong, it almost kind of manifests that and
Speaker 1: puts that out into the world. But I think about
Speaker 1: what could go wrong all the time. It's just it's
Speaker 1: hard not to. I feel like sometimes when I think
Speaker 1: about what will go wrong, it pushes me to make
Speaker 1: it right, so it actually makes me work harder, and
Speaker 1: I could use that energy for a positive But I
Speaker 1: also think about there's like the secret of manifestation. So
Speaker 1: what's the difference between worrying about something that might happen
Speaker 1: in the future that you don't want to happen. How
Speaker 1: is that different than when you try to visualize something
Speaker 1: you do want to happen. And people always say, I
Speaker 1: visualize making a million dollars. I visualize having a family
Speaker 1: I wanted. I visualized the job that I wanted and
Speaker 1: I got it. So what sometimes when I'm visualizing the
Speaker 1: worst case scenariom, like, am I going to confuse the
Speaker 1: universe and make them think that I'm manifesting this because
Speaker 1: I'm imagining it so much and that it might happen?
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I guess we need to uh
Speaker 1: ask our listeners how many of you have visualized being
Speaker 1: a millionaire and how many you have a million dollars?
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's like I think sometimes we
Speaker 1: hear I know, I know, I do too. I really
Speaker 1: do too, But I just think, like you hear from that,
Speaker 1: An was just saying she watched The Kardashian Show on
Speaker 1: Hulu and that Kim Kardashian was like, I knew I
Speaker 1: was going to be famous. I was like, I wanted
Speaker 1: it so badly. I mean, granted, her dad was OJ's
Speaker 1: attorney and her family was already and you know, her
Speaker 1: mom was married to Bruce Jenner, so I was like, okay, um,
Speaker 1: But I do think that there is something to that.
Speaker 1: Like I I think that some of my success was
Speaker 1: because I was so I just knew that it was
Speaker 1: going to work out. I just knew it. There was
Speaker 1: no doubt in my mind. I have so many doubts
Speaker 1: about other things, but like comedy, working out was there
Speaker 1: was never even the slightest that there was one time
Speaker 1: where I go, what if it doesn't work out? And
Speaker 1: I remember it was one day in a thought, and
Speaker 1: it just it was almost like you on that mountain.
Speaker 1: I can't turn back now, there's no there's no doing
Speaker 1: anything else. I have to only believe that I'm going
Speaker 1: to make it up this mountain. I can't let them.
Speaker 1: There's no point in entertaining going back down because you
Speaker 1: realized in that moment, I can't go back down. There's
Speaker 1: no point in it, so you let it go. And
Speaker 1: I think that there's one time I let it in.
Speaker 1: I was like what what I do because so many
Speaker 1: people were like at the time when I was struggling
Speaker 1: and I had no money and was like, you know,
Speaker 1: well into doing comedy and it wasn't. I had done
Speaker 1: the Tonight Show and last time I standing, but like
Speaker 1: nothing else was happening and I was still needing to
Speaker 1: borrow money, and it was just like, what if this
Speaker 1: doesn't work out? Like what if that's the what if
Speaker 1: that's working out? Is doing this to Night Show and
Speaker 1: then nothing after that and um, and there was a
Speaker 1: lot of like doubt in my parents of like what
Speaker 1: are you gonna do? Neck like if this isn't and
Speaker 1: I just I just was like kind of laughed it off,
Speaker 1: like that's so funny that you think it won't. But
Speaker 1: I don't know where that came from. It wasn't something
Speaker 1: I tried to do. I wish I could make I
Speaker 1: wish I could do that for other things in my life.
Speaker 1: I've never been so sure about something else, And now
Speaker 1: it's kind of happened and I wish I could kind
Speaker 1: of do that for I don't know, just my personal life.
Speaker 1: My Yeah, it's interesting where but there's definitely ways to
Speaker 1: to learn how to do that stuff. And that guy
Speaker 1: Joe to spends I wrote a book about it, but
Speaker 1: I cannot stand his meditations in his voice, so I'm
Speaker 1: giving up on my dreams. Thank you guys so much
Speaker 1: for listening. Um, we will be back tomorrow with one
Speaker 1: more show for this week. And uh, I hope you're
Speaker 1: not cool out there, and don't be Yeah, don't be cool.
Speaker 1: And Jack
