WEBVTT - Nicole Byer 0:00:06.320 --> 0:00:09.119 Can I sets. 0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:25.120 Mantids all that's okay because no one here is. 0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:31.560 Hello teen Beaters. Oh okay, No, Glad, I said that 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.320 out loud. That is not a good nickname for my listeners. 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.599 Going to have to workshop that one in the meanwhile, 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:42.560 I'm Danielle Fischel, podcaster, TV director, aspiring celebrity dancer, boy mom, 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:46.680 and as mentioned in two different Lil Wayne songs, I 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.400 played Tapega on the nineties family sitcom Boy Meets World. 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.120 And if you did watch that show, you witnessed every 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:56.920 awkward stage of my entire teenage existence from twelve to 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.760 nineteen years old, from my first kiss to my first 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:04.320 hair cut. Everything was documented and shoehorned into scripts perfectly 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.080 written to fit a twenty two minute format, with the 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.480 ultimate goal being its ability to sell things like toothpaste 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:14.360 and luxury family vehicles. And so, now, thirty years later, 0:01:14.760 --> 0:01:17.920 it's time to turn the tables on Teenbeat. I will 0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.679 sit down with interesting people who have accomplished interesting things, 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:25.839 hoping that a look into their untelevised upbringings can help 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.760 me get to know them better. Today I gave you 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:32.760 my childhood. It's time we hear yours. And this week 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:35.800 I'm living a bit on easy Street because I'm sitting 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:38.920 down with a guest, a Hall of Fame podcaster, if 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:42.680 you ask me, who appears to enjoy being wildly honest 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.760 and open when it comes to her childhood. While hosting 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:50.160 podcasts like Why Won't You Date Me? Best Friends and Newcomers, 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:54.040 listeners have heard pieces of her origin story with details 0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:58.200 rarely censored for embarrassment. And on TV, she's best known 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:01.880 as the four time EMI nominated face of Nailed It, 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:05.880 one of Netflix's most popular game shows of all time, 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:11.240 pitting contestants against an unbeatable opponent their own terrible baking skills. 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:15.520 She's also appeared on Brooklyn nine nine, The Good Place, Transparent, 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.960 and The Simpsons, and her twenty twenty one comedy special 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:23.600 BBW Big Beautiful Weirdo is available now on Netflix and, 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:28.120 for those keeping score at home, is also Emmy nominated. 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.639 Her confident approach to comedy has helped her become one 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:35.040 of the most exciting voices in the field. But today, 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.360 when she sits down with me, we're going to focus 0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:41.919 on those more awkward, less assured moments that everyone, even 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:46.360 those with multiple Emmy nominations, can never avoid. So welcome 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.120 to teen Beat. My larger than life guests this week, 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.280 the hilarious Nicole Byer. 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:52.320 Thank you. 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.000 That's a lovely intro.

I feel like I should have met 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.440 you a million times because. 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:10.680 We have mutual friends in common. 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.520 Sure do many a mutual friends, and yet somehow we 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.280 have never met and you are podcast royalties. 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.320 So I love just talking. 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:20.880 Were you a talkative kid? 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:21.600 Always? 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:22.120 Yeah? 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:22.960 Always? 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.600 That's how I got into like acting and performing. I 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.119 just talked so much. My mom is like, how about. 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:32.000 You like talk on stage? Do the play, do anything? 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.160 And I was like, okay, okay, oh yeah, I just 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:35.480 I love talking. 0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:39.640 As a kid. All my report cards said we really 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:40.360 enjoy her. 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:41.880 But boy, she. 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.280 Doesn't like to stop talking. It was like a real 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.000 sign from the time I was yes. 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:46.360 Same. 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:51.080 I also was very nosy. Oh I was in people's business. 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:52.000 I was like, what are you drawing? 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:53.920 What's going on? What are you doing? Where are you going? 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.440 And I'm still very nosey as an adult. 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:59.560 I feel like that's a good quality to have. When 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.360 we call it nosy, it doesn't sound as great. But 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:06.880 when you call it inquisiting, inquisitive, curious, wants to discover 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:12.840 the world, so interested in others and they're story. Okay, 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.800 I want to talk about hometowns. Okay, what is the 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.359 craziest thing that happened in your hometown growing up? Like, 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:24.120 what's the lore in Middletown Township, New Jersey. 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.600 I don't know if we have lore it is. 0:04:27.720 --> 0:04:31.840 It's truly like a very, very small, boring town. Okay, 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.279 because I grew up in Lanecroft, which is in Middletown Township, 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:39.279 which is even smaller than Middletown. But in high school 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.960 a kid was driving in a deer jump through his windshield, which. 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.200 Is pretty crazy. And I don't know if he came 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.200 to school. Of course, he's so funny that I'm mooth 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:49.840 he came, he didn't show up, he was absent. 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:54.719 Yeah, a deer jumped through his windshield. 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:56.719 You wanted him to just walk in? Guys. 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.560 Sorry, I'm like, the craziest thing happened? 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:01.080 Oh my god. 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:03.000 I just remember people talking about it in school and 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:04.080 I was like, oh my god. 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:06.800 Yeah, but I think that's maybe the craziest. That sounds 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:10.600 like the craziest thing was he injured. I don't remember 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:12.640 him being injured. He just got a free absent day. 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:15.080 Yeah, and nobody ever gave me a free absent day. 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.200 Yeah, you could have staged a deer. 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:21.280 Imagine that. I'm like dragging deer just. 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:21.719 A week later. 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:25.080 Believe me too. Oh my god, is that crazy. 0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:29.799 You'll never believe. At my school, the kids from Alpha Dog. 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.320 You know, the Jesse James Hollywood guy. He was a 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.520 successful drug dealer. He went to my school. Oh yeah, 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.880 someone owed him like fifteen hundred dollars day Jesse James. Yeah, 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:40.120 Jesse James Hollywood. 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:41.400 Who did it? 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:45.400 Sandra Bullock, No, that's a difference a tattoo artist's it 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:49.800 or auto mechanic. Oh my god, I don't announce. I 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.479 don't know, but that guy had a similar name. But 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:58.039 you know, justin the movie justin Timberlake did about the 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:01.520 drug dealer, a kid owed him like twelve hundred dollars 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.440 or something, and when he didn't get it, he hired 0:06:03.480 --> 0:06:05.760 two other young kids to go kill the kid, and 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:07.680 then they turned it into a movie. That guy went 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:13.400 to my school. Oh that's wild, like war lore that's truly, truly. 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.680 I didn't see that movie because this will sound really mean, 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.720 But when Justin Timberlake decided to act, I. 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:20.440 Said, and I don't believe this. Yeah, you're like no thing, 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.359 and I don't support it. Yeah, stick to stick to 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.839 what you do best. So, yeah, you know what, I'm 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.000 not opposed to that. I really did make one movie 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:27.680 that I really liked. 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.960 It's called in Time or something where time is literal money. 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.200 It really felt like an elevator pitchure. They're like, what 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.400 if time was actually money? And they were like, write 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.040 it up and there was no other thoughts behind it. 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:40.120 It's really funny. 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.800 He also the name of his production company, or the 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:48.600 one his mom had, is just in Time. He's got 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:49.160 a lot of time. 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:50.120 Hen't like it. 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.040 Also, the Menendez brothers went to my high school. Wow, 0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:54.520 Yeah it was great. 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.520 Sounds busy damn.

It's so boring. It's 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:14.600 so boring. Well, I mean, did you enjoy it? Did 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.440 you have anything fun that you liked to do there? 0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:18.840 Where were your hangouts? Who were your friends? What did 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:19.920 you do on the weekends? 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.640 I smoked a lot of weed out of a honeybear 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.600 bong that my friend fashioned out of like a honey container. 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:29.320 Yeah, yeah, the little bears. 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.160 In the plays. After the plays, we'd go to Chili's. 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:35.400 Truly boring stuff. 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.440 Yeah that sounds sound pretty boring, but I do love 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:38.000 a Chili's. 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:38.880 I love Chili's. 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:39.120 Yeah. 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:40.760 I have you been to the Chili's and Encino? 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:41.760 No? 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:45.280 Let me? It is always packed. 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:47.480 Every time I've gone, I've had to wait a half 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.440 hour for a table and look at chili. I don't 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.560 know that Chili's is worth waiting a half an hour? 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:53.040 It was. 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:54.600 Have you read the skillet Caso? 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.160 No? No, but that it's really good? Okay. I do 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.520 love Gazo. I mean you got me with skillet queso. 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.200 Anything in a skillet. I'm into a pazuki. 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:05.400 Oh my god, Bej's they broke them mold when they 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:06.000 made a pause. 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:08.680 They really did. Oh just no other dessert, I love it. 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.520 I alsoll have a buttercake from CPK Ooh that's. 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:13.560 Nice, warm with that's very very warm. 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.880 They also have a like an apple cobbler with crunchams 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.720 on top. I don't know how to describe it other 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:20.080 than crunch crunch them. 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:22.560 Yeah, that's great. It's like a what do they call 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:26.920 that crumble? Like a crumble crunches. Yes, yeah, I'm hungry, 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.320 which is why I realized I did a full detour 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:34.240 into into uh school. Okay, I do have one small 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:38.120 concern about your high school. You attended Middletown High South, 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:42.000 and I am pretty sure you had a real strong 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:46.520 grasp on being the most famous alumni. But now I'm 0:08:46.559 --> 0:08:50.840 a little worried about Olivia Newsy, the journalist who allegedly 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:54.640 had an affair with RFK junior. She went to your 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:55.160 high school. 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:56.040 When did she graduate? 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:58.520 I'm not sure I didn't do that research. 0:08:58.679 --> 0:08:59.880 Having an affair with RFK. 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:04.960 Psychotics psychotic, Like imagine that man being like, amen, you hello, 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.120 are you gonna come? Oh god? 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:11.360 Oh do you want me to hate it from behind? 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.000 No? Yuck? 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:19.280 Yuck, yuck, yuck yuck. Oh, okay, your way to the top. 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:20.920 I'm sure go for it. 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:28.080 But that man is disgusting, quite a you real disturgstantic. 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.000 He looks like an old coach bag, Like he's so 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:32.160 nasty to me. 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:34.840 Oh, you know what, I think even I think there 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:39.120 are worse brands than coaching. I'm pretty sure I use 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:40.960 coach because they're pretty durable. 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.160 So you ever see like a real beat up one, 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:44.520 they are up. 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:48.800 That's true. That's true. So Carrie, anyway, I'm worried that 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:52.280 your crown may be snatched. So we're gonna have to 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.400 just we're gonna have to do something about that. Did 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.840 you have like a celebrity hero growing up, somebody you 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:00.559 looked up to admired their career. 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:03.360 That's a good question. 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.200 Nobody told me I could be an actor until like 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.520 junior or senior year of high school. Like it wasn't 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.920 a thing that I was like, Oh, I can do that. 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:17.280 But like I guess once I once I really thought 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:22.360 about it. I mean, I loved Monique on The Parkers. 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:27.040 I loved Oh god, I'm trying to oh. I loved 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:29.760 a Different World. A Different World was great. I loved 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:31.360 Living Single, Living Single was. 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:33.000 Living Single is a great show. 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:37.400 It's a perfect show. I love it so much. And 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:41.840 then the movie I loved them, I oh, will be Goldberg, 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:43.439 this is wild. It took me so. 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:46.240 Long to get there because my favorite movie is Ghost. 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:50.240 I think it's a rom com. People disagree and say 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.240 it's a thriller, and I'm like, yeah, but it's really 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:53.360 funny and there's a roman. 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:55.160 Yes, I actually agree with you. 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.360 Every moment will be Goldberg is in. It is just 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.200 so deep funny to miss. 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:01.600 Yes. 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:05.320 Sister Act was another favorite one. My cousin Vinnie. I 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:10.040 love Marissa Tome and it coming to America with Woopye 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:11.120 Goldberg and Ted Danson. 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.440 That's such a good movie. Yes, Whoopy Goldberg. 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.520 Okay, whoopi Goldberg. That that makes sense. I can see 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:22.120 the comedy inspiration there. My kids really love John Cena, 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:23.839 who I know you worked with. 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:24.959 He's the best. 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:28.240 You co hosted the reboot of Wipeout with him. He 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.840 seems like he's the best, and my kids think he's 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:31.720 the greatest thing ever. 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:35.400 He's so deeply funny. He's a very funny man. He 0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:39.120 also has zero ego, like he'll take a line read 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.600 from a producer like he's just like he he's there 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.600 to service the like the greater good if you will 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.400 like the show the product, Like he's like I'm just 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.160 a vessel to relay what the joke that you want 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:55.280 to relay. He also is very inquisitive and he also 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.560 remember his names, you remember crew members names, like he 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.559 was just so wonderful. 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.840 Yeah, he's just a kind, kind person. 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.040 I love those stories. I feel like the more we 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.240 can talk about those stories and highlight the people who 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:14.120 you know have good reputations, oh, because we hear so many. 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.559 But I love hearing about naughty people. 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:20.760 I love a misbehaving adult, Like, I love it so much. 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:21.439 I'll tell you. 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:26.480 John Cena truly changed my perspective on like being in 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:30.760 the public eye. Like I didn't love taking pictures with people, 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:32.640 and I always found it to be really awkward. 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.080 And he was like, if somebody wants a picture with you, 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:36.360 what does that do to you? 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:38.600 How does that take away from your day? Don't you 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:39.360 get to continue it? 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.400 After? He's like, if that's if someone is so excited. 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.000 To meet you, why wouldn't you make their day? And 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:47.160 I was like, oh my god, yeah right, you're so right. 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:48.719 Why am I being so weird about it? 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.480 Yeah, that's sweet. I think one of the things that 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:54.440 makes me feel weird about people when when I do 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.680 feel weird about it, is always that my first thought 0:12:56.720 --> 0:13:00.000 is about whether or not it's bothering the people I'm with. Ah, 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.120 My first thoughts always like, sorry, I am the worst. 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.000 You'd probably don't want to invite me to anything ever again, right, Like, 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.439 I'm doing this for you. It's your birthday and people 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:10.200 were coming up and asking me for a picture, Like 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:14.600 I suck, Right, That's always my first thought. But he's 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:16.520 He's right. I mean I had what an honor that 0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:17.840 people actually care enough? 0:13:17.960 --> 0:13:19.719 Yes, And then I really had to think about it. 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:21.120 I'm like, who am I doing jokes for? 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:21.320 Well? 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:22.040 What am I trying to? 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:27.000 Like it? If somebody likes it, then that's that's why 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.680 I'm doing it. That's the whole purpose. That's the point. 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:41.480 That's great. 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.520 Who were your friends growing up?

Do we hung out at 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:17.640 each other's houses? 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:22.480 Yeah, we had a lot of slumber parties, so fun. Yeah, 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.360 we were just like some girls were closer than others, 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.800 but like we were all like pretty close. Like Kristin, 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.120 one of the K's lived down the street from me. Okay, 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.280 so we would hang out all the time.

And then 0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.920 Kristin got married in Ireland and there was a reunion 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:55.480 but I ended up having to work, so I didn't 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:55.880 make it. 0:14:56.680 --> 0:15:01.000 But everyone else was there, everyone but Caitlyn and you 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.520 were happy. That's so fun. I also had a little 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.680 bit of a clique. I think of it as being 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:12.200 like there were two kind of larger groups of popular girls, 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.080 and one was like the naughty group of popular girls, 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:19.120 and the other one was like the real squares. I 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:20.280 was part of the real Squares. 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.240 Did you go to school with other actors?

Vanessa Evigan whose dad Greg Evigan from 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:45.360 my two dads, like, she went there.
