Speaker 1: The Nikki Gliser Podcast.
Speaker 2: Glaser.
Speaker 3: Here's Nikki.
Speaker 1: Hello, Here I am, It's Nicky Glazer podcast. I'm Nicki Glazer.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. We're doing one a week, two
Speaker 1: weeks in a row. Is that correct? Noah, Yes, one
Speaker 1: a week because you and I are both on vacation.
Speaker 1: I'm in Australia right now. And where are you?
Speaker 3: I'm getting married?
Speaker 1: Oh you, Liza. I'm so glad we dedicated half an
Speaker 1: episode of my Australia trip and didn't even mention what
Speaker 1: a good friend I am. Not knowing the timeline of
Speaker 1: my friend's lives the.
Speaker 3: Most important it's me. I don't talk about myself. I
Speaker 3: don't know how to talk about so okay, let me
Speaker 3: ask you about that. If you're someone who doesn't talk
Speaker 3: about themselves a lot. Brian's here as well.
Speaker 1: Hi Brian, Hello, So okay, someone who doesn't talk about
Speaker 1: themselves a lot? You I project what I experience when
Speaker 1: people don't know things about my life that I feel
Speaker 1: like they should. I don't. I don't. I'm not really
Speaker 1: bad about it. I actually am very forgiving and I
Speaker 1: understand like if someone doesn't I've maybe gotten hurt one
Speaker 1: or two times. When someone doesn't remember something that I
Speaker 1: think they should. But as someone who doesn't expect feeble
Speaker 1: or it, doesn't talk about it very openly. Do you
Speaker 1: get hurt when people don't remember significant things in your life?
Speaker 1: Like friends that are like.
Speaker 3: You know, No you don't, you're not so.
Speaker 1: That's interesting, So that works. Then you don't reveal a
Speaker 1: lot you don't expect a lot back.
Speaker 3: Right, Well, I try to have any expectations of people
Speaker 3: because it always leads into disappointment.
Speaker 1: But it's so healthy.
Speaker 3: I should be better at talking about myself, and I learned.
Speaker 3: I had to learn how to do that in therapy.
Speaker 3: I did not learn how to do that at home
Speaker 3: or growing up.
Speaker 1: Yes, back to therapy, A little bit better at it.
Speaker 3: But like when it's like big occasions where I'm the
Speaker 3: center of attention, I don't know how.
Speaker 1: To do it. What's uncomfortable about it?
Speaker 3: For you? I think it's like all eyes on me
Speaker 3: makes me feel very uncomfortable.
Speaker 1: So what but what is that fear? Like what's going
Speaker 1: to happen if all thyes are on you? Or like
Speaker 1: do you even know how to articulate it? It's just scared.
Speaker 1: It is scary. Yeah, you're waiting for your reply.
Speaker 2: Yes, what's your reply?
Speaker 1: We're all wearing sunglasses. I'm wearing sunglasses, nos wearing swim goggles,
Speaker 1: and Brian is wearing like science lab goggles or nerd
Speaker 1: on a basketball court goggles. Robert or yeah, that guy,
Speaker 1: he's probably doing the right thing. I've been in ten years.
Speaker 1: Everyone's gonna wear goggles and be like. It's like the
Speaker 1: ski helmet thing if you go skiing. There was We'll
Speaker 1: get back to Noah's wedding eventually, but there is if
Speaker 1: you go skiing, if you were someone who skied frequently
Speaker 1: in the past fifteen years, I would say fifteen to
Speaker 1: twenty years, there was a time where no one wore
Speaker 1: a protective gear on their heads. No one wore helmets
Speaker 1: at all. It's like children to like adults, but pros
Speaker 1: no one did it. And then like so you know,
Speaker 1: we lost Sunny Bono, Natasha Richardson, Liam Neeson's wife also
Speaker 1: died from falling. Seeing there was some like couples, there
Speaker 1: was some Kennedy I think skat into a tree or something.
Speaker 1: There's been so there was like awareness about it. But
Speaker 1: then there was a shift overnight. I mean, there was
Speaker 1: maybe a period of ten fifteen years that I didn't
Speaker 1: go skiing regularly, But it went from no one wear
Speaker 1: summits to everyone, and we go like, how could It's
Speaker 1: like smoking on planes? How could we have thought this
Speaker 1: was good? But smoking on planes that took like decades
Speaker 1: to happen.
Speaker 2: Well, it was overnight except for the fact that you
Speaker 2: didn't ski for fifteen years.
Speaker 1: Yes, I know, but like, that's still a short amount
Speaker 1: of time for something to shift so drastically. I do
Speaker 1: acknowledge that, yes, that's part of it, that I did
Speaker 1: miss a big window there, But doesn't that seem pretty
Speaker 1: fast for something to be that overhauled.
Speaker 2: Back in the seventies, like hardly anybody wore seat belts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point, I guess. By the nineties
Speaker 1: seatbelts were like absolutely ubiquitous. And by the way, if
Speaker 1: you don't wear a seatbelt, you're such an idiot?
Speaker 2: Are you forget?
Speaker 1: We're the biggest idiot.
Speaker 2: I keep forgetting this, And then every like five or
Speaker 2: six years, I look this piece of information up and
Speaker 2: I relearn it and I go, what and that piece
Speaker 2: of information is that you know, Sam Kennison died in
Speaker 2: a yeah crash, and oh yeah, every five years, I
Speaker 2: forget that and every five years.
Speaker 1: Dude, that story behind that?
Speaker 4: Have you do?
Speaker 1: You know the whole story?
Speaker 2: So he was driving. What I know is this he
Speaker 2: was driving back from Vegas after getting married. It was
Speaker 2: he got married for like the second or maybe third time.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have you guys pull up this clip on
Speaker 1: YouTube of Sam Kennison, the story of him dying.
Speaker 2: It was at the peak of his life. I think
Speaker 2: he was so he was probably so happy and then
Speaker 2: a drunk driver swerved into his lane, hit him head
Speaker 2: on and hen plane highways.
Speaker 1: It's probably the fucking story I saw on VAH one
Speaker 1: one time about his death.
Speaker 2: But he was not wearing a seat belt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, big mistake. You're so stupid, Like I always tell
Speaker 1: and I don't you're an idiot in the sense that
Speaker 1: like you're just you're kind of an idiot if you
Speaker 1: don't do it. And I mean that with love, because
Speaker 1: Chris often doesn't wear a seatbelt because I think I
Speaker 1: don't even know what it is. I just always try
Speaker 1: to remind him. If you die because you weren't wearing
Speaker 1: a seatbelt when you easily could have been, everyone kind
Speaker 1: of goes, oh, is their fault, like you are looked
Speaker 1: at as kind of an idiot, like it's you kind
Speaker 1: of go, well, they had it common like not not really,
Speaker 1: it's still tragic, but I go, you don't want to
Speaker 1: die that way with a story. That's because you weren't
Speaker 1: wearing a seatbelt. Were you also wearing a backpack with
Speaker 1: one strap on?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: Are you also wearing sunglasses and had your backwards cap
Speaker 1: Like it's just like, it's all these dumb things. It's like,
Speaker 1: it doesn't look we're you also smoking a cigarette. It
Speaker 1: looks cool, but it's bad.
Speaker 2: For you wear a seatbelt, you walk around your backpack
Speaker 2: on zipped. So if somebody robs you, you.
Speaker 1: That's true. I actually you're so right. I would not.
Speaker 1: I don't I would think that I wouldn't complain. I'd
Speaker 1: go I did it to myself. But I just don't
Speaker 1: think that happens that often. But if you and also,
Speaker 1: and I've said this point before, but it absolutely bears repeating.
Speaker 1: When someone's not wearing a seatbelt in the car with you,
Speaker 1: they are a threat to you because if the car flips,
Speaker 1: their body flails all around and knocks you in the
Speaker 1: face and you get head trauma. From their body that's
Speaker 1: going sixty miles an hour or whatever it is in
Speaker 1: your direction. That's what happens. So I always say to Chris,
Speaker 1: I don't care about I'm not even asking you for
Speaker 1: this for you. It's for me. I don't want to die,
Speaker 1: so will you put this on for me? So because
Speaker 1: sometimes people go, oh care if I died, It's like,
Speaker 1: well then it will you care about me? And it's
Speaker 1: it's nice to other people. It's like not looking at
Speaker 1: your phone during a movie.
Speaker 2: It's also for the person that hits you.
Speaker 1: I've learned from that. What was it.
Speaker 2: It's also you wear a seatbelt for the person that
Speaker 2: hits you, because if they hit you and then you
Speaker 2: die because you're not wearing a seatbelt and that person
Speaker 2: just killed somebody.
Speaker 1: Think about that.
Speaker 2: If you're wearing a seatbelt, you might not have died.
Speaker 1: Just so much trauma for that person. And also do
Speaker 1: you really want to die going through a windshield? Does
Speaker 1: that such good to you?
Speaker 2: Windshields are pretty strong now you probably just hit the windshield.
Speaker 1: Oh dear, let's change the subject. Yeah, oh god, it's
Speaker 1: not like Sam Kennison. No, we can I say something
Speaker 1: cool about the Sam Kennison thing, and this is the
Speaker 1: thing that I like am really so he he's someone
Speaker 1: that like saw God when he was dying. So like
Speaker 1: I think it was who was opening for him was
Speaker 1: right behind him? Was it Henry Rollins? Matt he was
Speaker 1: around back then. He's that's that good his work is Yeah,
Speaker 1: he is sixty seven. No, Uh, it was some comedian.
Speaker 1: I think it was Henry Rollins. I'm remembering this vach
Speaker 1: One thing that was calling, like called like behind the
Speaker 1: Funny or something, and there was a clip about this guy.
Speaker 1: It wasn't even clip. I saw the show when it
Speaker 1: was on Beach one. I think it was Henry Rollins
Speaker 1: for some reason. But someone that looked like him following
Speaker 1: behind Sam Kinnison as as he crashed. So he came
Speaker 1: upon the crash immediately and uh held him as he died.
Speaker 1: And when Sam Kinnison was dying, he's what was his
Speaker 1: last words? Noah or Brian? Will you look up his
Speaker 1: last words because he said it beyond okay.
Speaker 2: He said, I don't want to die, and then I
Speaker 2: don't want to die.
Speaker 1: And then he goes, oh, yes that was the story.
Speaker 1: He goes, I don't want to die. I don't want to.
Speaker 1: And then he just looked relaxed and he goes okay,
Speaker 1: and just like drifted off. The story was sad.
Speaker 3: It was a seventeen year old who was driving the
Speaker 3: other car.
Speaker 2: Seventeen year old but drunk driver. And I say this,
Speaker 2: if you drive drunk, you should have your head cut off.
Speaker 2: If you drive drunk one time, you should have your
Speaker 2: head cut off, was.
Speaker 3: His brother, who is following him.
Speaker 1: No, I you know the drunk driving thing. I gotta say,
Speaker 1: I yes, horrible, horrible, horrible. But the person who's deciding
Speaker 1: to drive drunk is drunk, you know, like I have
Speaker 1: compassion because they are hopefully an alcoholic. But the choice
Speaker 1: to drink knowing that you could end up driving is
Speaker 1: so reckless when you're your state of mind. And I
Speaker 1: don't believe in free will, but when you're of your
Speaker 1: right state of mind and you decide to drink when
Speaker 1: you know you could drive, yeah, you're a total piece
Speaker 1: of shit. But I do.
Speaker 3: His last words, yes, so it wasn't okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 3: it was before that, okay.
Speaker 1: So basically.
Speaker 2: Literally his oh wow, wow wow, oh.
Speaker 1: He was seeing the iPhone seventeen in his head. He
Speaker 1: was picturing the eighteen he was like, oh god, they're
Speaker 1: gonna be so great, and then he died left us
Speaker 1: with nothing.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay. So his brother, with the help of friend
Speaker 3: Carl Lebouve, so basically above, Yes, Kennison began to look
Speaker 3: off into the distance and began talking to a force unseen.
Speaker 3: He said, ye ready, I don't want to die. I
Speaker 3: don't want to die, he told the force above. Explained
Speaker 3: it was as if he was having a conversation talking
Speaker 3: to someone unseen somebody else, but some unseen person.
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh oh wow.
Speaker 3: And then he asked, but why, then paused again and
Speaker 3: then responded, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh that was the story. He was like, you
Speaker 1: saw him grappling with the idea of death, and then
Speaker 1: when it suddenly was imminent, he was like so okay
Speaker 1: with it. And I remember watching that and feeling like
Speaker 1: really happy that that was the outcome, Like like I
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, that made me not scared of death,
Speaker 1: because he seemed they described him as so at peace,
Speaker 1: and maybe that's the story they're telling themselves and they
Speaker 1: don't remember it correctly, and this, you know, whatever, it's actually.
Speaker 2: Going No, yeah, I mean that's what he did. He
Speaker 2: was a screamer. He could go on stage and he'd
Speaker 2: scream and then his last words were a whisper. That's
Speaker 2: not an that's not his persona. Sounds fake to me, No,
Speaker 2: but you know what it is. It's just DMT being
Speaker 2: released in your brain. That's the last chemical that gets
Speaker 2: released into your brain before they die, and you start
Speaker 2: to see all these things and you generally this wave
Speaker 2: of calm washes over you. That's the that's the one
Speaker 2: thing that sucked about about being a suicide bomb.
Speaker 1: Oh they don't get that.
Speaker 2: They don't if you blow up or something like that,
Speaker 2: you don't get that final d MT hit that makes
Speaker 2: you feel calm and comfortable.
Speaker 1: And potential, something where your body like knows it's going
Speaker 1: so it sends off this chemical. But you don't have
Speaker 1: that because it's so fast ship. Yeah, okay, that's a reason.
Speaker 2: To not suicide bomber.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's such a reason to not. Yeah, do
Speaker 1: not blow your brains up. You have to have that moment. Fuck, dude,
Speaker 1: you just blew my mind because Yeah, I want to
Speaker 1: trip DMT someday, but I want it to be when
Speaker 1: I'm dying. I don't experience it, but I'm I would
Speaker 1: be so scared before then that he said, I think
Speaker 1: DMT was what Neil Brennan did, and he said it
Speaker 1: was horrific. He can't describe what happened. He truly, like
Speaker 1: I've tried. He's such an articulate person. He cannot describe
Speaker 1: what happened. But he does not get depressed anymore. I
Speaker 1: haven't checked on him since then, Is he okay? Actually no,
Speaker 1: I haven't checked up. But he said that it switched
Speaker 1: his brain off. It worked, It cured his depression, his
Speaker 1: lifelong depre that he was seeking for treatment for for
Speaker 1: so long. He did it, but he said the experience
Speaker 1: he had he would never do again. For a billion dollars,
Speaker 1: I believed him. He was like, it was the worst
Speaker 1: thing ever. You couldn't really describe what was the worst thing,
Speaker 1: but he suffered, like he would have like kind of
Speaker 1: flashbacks to it for a couple of months, but that
Speaker 1: it cured his depression, his like horrible, suicidal, manic depression.
Speaker 1: But he also wouldn't wish it on his worst enemy.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, okay, great, I'm glad there's a solution
Speaker 1: out there. That's the worst thing possible. That's the other
Speaker 1: side of it. You're fine, No, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't like roller coasters.
Speaker 2: People do shrooms and they have revelations. People do ayahuasca.
Speaker 2: But the one drug where I've seen people take and
Speaker 2: then legitimately permanently change its DMT, really DMT and may
Speaker 2: become a different person. It's almost like, I mean, it
Speaker 2: doesn't happen to everybody, obviously, but for some of some
Speaker 2: people that I have known, they do DMT and then
Speaker 2: they become just like totally disconnected from outcomes. Yeah, it
Speaker 2: changes their personality, which is maybe healthy or whatever, but
Speaker 2: it also makes from outcomes.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I wonder if I want to be I
Speaker 1: would love to be disconnected from self and other judgment,
Speaker 1: but from outcomes. I guess that would actually be pretty
Speaker 1: freeing in a lot of ways.
Speaker 2: Well, it's part of being disconnected from yourself because you're
Speaker 2: now viewing yourself as part of the whole of the universe,
Speaker 2: So your own personal success is not really a factor.
Speaker 1: It's like your success, Oh my god, it would absolutely
Speaker 1: change me that if that was the realization that I
Speaker 1: was able to come to, I wouldn't be able to
Speaker 1: do anything I do my life. It would be impossible
Speaker 1: if I didn't feel like I was a special individual
Speaker 1: that needed special or like need Like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: do you think that you need love still? You just
Speaker 1: don't seek it in validating ways or whatever.
Speaker 2: I think you just feel the love of the universe.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I've never done it from what the
Speaker 2: people have described me. I know two people who changed dramatically,
Speaker 2: and then a few other people who took it and
Speaker 2: just like had revelations. But the two people that changed dramatically,
Speaker 2: they just felt like they were constantly feeling the love
Speaker 2: of the universe, and perhaps they were in a state
Speaker 2: of bliss. But I have to say, from an outsider's perspective,
Speaker 2: it makes you almost insufferable.
Speaker 1: I don't want to become that, just this floaty like
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just too happy.
Speaker 2: What do you want for dinner tonight? You know, it
Speaker 2: doesn't matter what we eat for dinner. Who cares, Let's
Speaker 2: just eat enjoy the fruits of.
Speaker 1: Of what they say, Yeah, like I don't care, But
Speaker 1: it's just like I don't care, Like it's a different
Speaker 1: side of yeah, like when you're depression, Like I don't care.
Speaker 1: I don't know, everything's just yeah, it's.
Speaker 2: One of these guys went really nuts though. He really so.
Speaker 1: Much gratitude, too much gratitude, too much gratitude too Okay,
Speaker 1: we all know this person on Instagram and TikTok, the
Speaker 1: person that's just always like just able to conjure this,
Speaker 1: like you need to love yourself. And as a woman
Speaker 1: who's aging, it's your dude, And I'm like, you have
Speaker 1: perfect hair and you have perfect skin. You're sixty, you
Speaker 1: look thirty four. This is all very easy for you
Speaker 1: to say, ma'am. But it's like, maybe that's what's behind. Maybe, Yeah,
Speaker 1: she like is leaning into her. She's actually so beautiful
Speaker 1: and I do get a lot from her videos. But
Speaker 1: on days where I'm not feeling very good about myself,
Speaker 1: this woman irritates me because I'm like, if I looked
Speaker 1: like you, I wouldn't really give a shit about my
Speaker 1: looks either. But that's not fair. She's still had to
Speaker 1: have opinion about that stuff and try to promote, you know,
Speaker 1: like Jamila, Jamila Jamil. I always always fuck of her name,
Speaker 1: and that's so embarrassed. I just don't say her name fully.
Speaker 1: I just call her Jamila. And then when I have
Speaker 1: to throw in the next name that sounds very similar.
Speaker 1: I'm not being not saying anything, I just mix it up.
Speaker 1: I get nervous. It's the same as when I say
Speaker 1: take for granted and grant. I want to say granted,
Speaker 1: and I get so nervous that I want to say granted.
Speaker 1: But I get so nervous when I'm about to say
Speaker 1: it that I fuck it up. I struggle with people
Speaker 1: names so much, and I'm always really embarrassed when I
Speaker 1: have to bring someone up on stage that has a
Speaker 1: weird name that I think I might mispronounce and therefore
Speaker 1: insult their ethnicity. I get like, I get so nervous,
Speaker 1: and then I end up doing it every time. It's
Speaker 1: so embarrassing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, people say my name wrong all the time, and
Speaker 2: I don't get upset about it.
Speaker 1: But I don't care at all. My dad is very
Speaker 1: like they said Glosser, and I'm like, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it was just a it's a show
Speaker 1: in a at the Funny Bone. It doesn't It's fine.
Speaker 3: One time, in an email to Kelly, who edits our videos,
Speaker 3: I said I'm missing brains because I didn't have Brian's
Speaker 3: video or something.
Speaker 1: Like brain must happen all the time to you, Like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sometimes I'll get like uh uh spam emails that
Speaker 2: say dear brain, and it's like I couldn't even fucking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would just be bots copy and pasting and
Speaker 1: maybe me too.
Speaker 2: You didn't get it right Somewhere that actually does bother me.
Speaker 2: Brain bothers me for some reason, whereas it someone says
Speaker 2: frange or or frangie or something like that. I'm not
Speaker 2: brain should bother you, but brain that bothers me, because yeah,
Speaker 2: that's why it bothers me, because people find it so
Speaker 2: funny they say the brain frangie and it's like, what
Speaker 2: is goggles?
Speaker 1: Is that why it does? It? Kind of suits you?
Speaker 1: You are a brainiac, I would say, yeah, you take
Speaker 1: that as a compliment, right, Who doesn't want to be
Speaker 1: a brainiac?
Speaker 2: I would love to be a brainiact A brainiac means
Speaker 2: I've never had sex though I.
Speaker 1: That's when it does imply, but it doesn't have to
Speaker 1: not the one that I you this, you are a
Speaker 1: brainiact that sucks a lot for sure. Yeah, that's right,
Speaker 1: they are out there.
Speaker 2: That's my persona.
Speaker 1: Isn't getting brain a sexual act? I got brain, she
Speaker 1: gives good brain.
Speaker 2: Oh, well, that's is that when your dicks goes all
Speaker 2: the way up there?
Speaker 1: Uh wha?
Speaker 2: Is it getting brain like a term? And if that
Speaker 2: gang's used when they're talking about killing somebody, when you
Speaker 2: in the head, you brain them.
Speaker 1: Oh shit, that's good.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 1: No, I think it's this. I think give good brain
Speaker 1: means give a good head. We got to look it up.
Speaker 2: Give good brain, I've never heard.
Speaker 1: I think it's in. It's in whatever. You like this
Speaker 1: The t I song that Anya does hold on give
Speaker 1: good brain me give good brain is a slang term
Speaker 1: usually referred to giving oral sex, usually to a person
Speaker 1: with the penis. I'm hip with the kids. In two
Speaker 1: thousand and one.
Speaker 4: When that song was written, one was this article on
Speaker 4: okay pop buzz dot com, recently.
Speaker 2: The internet's most trusted viral news source.
Speaker 1: What's the most recent like word you've heard that?
Speaker 2: You're like?
Speaker 3: What is that?
Speaker 2: Oh, there's a bad one that's coming out that I
Speaker 2: don't think is going to catch on. That Allie told
Speaker 2: me the other day, and it is fuck. I just
Speaker 2: forgot it.
Speaker 1: Damn it. I hate when that happens.
Speaker 2: God, damn it. You know what?
Speaker 1: Yeah, say less. That's my favorite one.
Speaker 2: Say less. I like say less.
Speaker 1: It sounds almost insulting, but it's supposed to mean like no,
Speaker 1: I got like, I got it right. I think that's
Speaker 1: what it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I came and went.
Speaker 1: There was like a brief, there was like a no,
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's stuck around.
Speaker 2: No, because too many adults are saying it. There was
Speaker 2: a three week period where RIZ is it and now
Speaker 2: and now you see on like Fox News where someone's
Speaker 2: like or as the kids are saying, Ron DeSantis has
Speaker 2: no Riz, and it's like, Okay, it's over. That's the
Speaker 2: that when it's being said on Fox News, it's over.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I think it's going
Speaker 1: to stick around. I predict. Let's revisit in six months.
Speaker 1: Someone remind us in six months to revisit and see
Speaker 1: if RIZ is on the RIZ or on the so okay,
Speaker 1: say less. I was right. It is a slang way.
Speaker 1: It's the concise way of expressing agreement or acknowledgement that
Speaker 1: you understand what someone is saying without adding further comment.
Speaker 1: It's I like it because it sounds insulting, because like
Speaker 1: say less, like ugh, say last, just talk last. You're annoying,
Speaker 1: but it's just like I got you. I love it. Okay,
Speaker 1: we gotta go to break. We'll come back and I'll
Speaker 1: say more.
Speaker 3: We're back.
Speaker 1: We're wearing sunglasses, or at least I was wearing glasses
Speaker 1: and then noah, oh you gave up on those.
Speaker 3: You know why because my goggles I felt like they
Speaker 3: were sucking my eyes out.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that has happened.
Speaker 3: My My brother goes scuba diving and one time I
Speaker 3: saw him and his eyes were all like bloodshot, and
Speaker 3: I was like, what the fuck happened to your eyes?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: And He's like, I accidentally moved my goggles and the
Speaker 3: pressure sucked his eyeballs.
Speaker 1: And they straight his eyebrows.
Speaker 2: He's underwater though that's not because of the goggles alone.
Speaker 3: That's what was happening to me.
Speaker 1: I feel my well, I just want to dress on
Speaker 1: YouTube that I'm flipping up my glasses because these glasses
Speaker 1: are polarized and they make it so I can't see this.
Speaker 1: And so when I do this, you guys are literally
Speaker 1: I can't see anything totally black on the screen. It's
Speaker 1: like takes it away. So that's when that's why I
Speaker 1: keep going back and forth.
Speaker 2: We're able to do something. What.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Yeah, it's good to have a little task.
Speaker 2: It's like having a cigarette.
Speaker 1: I keep dropping coffee on myself. I went we we
Speaker 1: just recorded, We're not doing two back to back episodes,
Speaker 1: and I like went to Starbucks to kind of break
Speaker 1: up the just feel like I did. Yeah, I ran
Speaker 1: over there and I'm trying to think of anything that
Speaker 1: monumental aut but no, it was just my friend Laurens there.
Speaker 2: I have the other word, just to keep it on
Speaker 2: the for a second. Copium. Have you heard that yet?
Speaker 2: Copium opium?
Speaker 1: Are kids using that word?
Speaker 2: It's on It's used on Twitch a lot. It's copium copium.
Speaker 2: It's a combination of cope and opium. So it's used
Speaker 2: satirically and is a joke term used to describe a
Speaker 2: fictional drug that one consumes after suffering a loss, defeat,
Speaker 2: or disappointment.
Speaker 1: Oh so you need some copium, man? Yeah, because you just.
Speaker 2: Often said when people try to make excuses for a
Speaker 2: failure or who try to spin something that's decidedly negative
Speaker 2: into a positive. What, So here's a I was just
Speaker 2: trying a new dance move. Dude, Copium. I don't get
Speaker 2: what that means. But no, I don't think copium is
Speaker 2: going to catch on so much with the regular people
Speaker 2: outside of twitch because it's just I don't think it
Speaker 2: sounds very cool.
Speaker 1: It sounds like, no, it sounds like a drug or
Speaker 1: a genus have a type of flower.
Speaker 2: It is being said copium because.
Speaker 1: I guess it is a opium. It's a part is it?
Speaker 1: Opium's a flower?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: I think I smoked opium one time. The weirdest drugs
Speaker 1: outside of pot that I've done. I think I did
Speaker 1: opium in high school, but I don't remember. I just
Speaker 1: remember a little black rock. Yeah, it didn't affect I
Speaker 1: don't remember it affecting me in any certain way. And
Speaker 1: then I did salvia, which is so stupid. I'm so mad.
Speaker 3: I haven't heard about Why is it so stupid?
Speaker 1: Because if you watch videos of people on it, people
Speaker 1: get so weird at almos pass out and just their
Speaker 1: bodies contort and they look like they're having an epileptic seizure.
Speaker 1: They look horrified, and it lasts a very short amount
Speaker 1: of time, but then you come out of it. Luckily
Speaker 1: I did not have that reaction, but I could have.
Speaker 1: Like it's very well documented all over YouTube. Watch people
Speaker 1: on salvia. It's disturbing to watch and they are freaked out.
Speaker 1: And I read on Reddit all the time, like what's
Speaker 1: the one drug like you don't recommend, and people are
Speaker 1: like salvia. It fucked like talking about DMT and stuff.
Speaker 1: It fucked with me so hard. So I was lucky
Speaker 1: that I didn't experience that with it. But I did
Speaker 1: smoke the synthetic weed in Indiana, Oh, Dayton. I was
Speaker 1: in Dayton. I remember it was the day of the
Speaker 1: royal wedding that was I remember it was on TV.
Speaker 1: But I was staying at this comedy condo in Dayton,
Speaker 1: and there was this guy that I was working with
Speaker 1: who had kids and was on like parole from like
Speaker 1: a drunk driving thing, and so he couldn't smoke weed
Speaker 1: because they drug tested him. So he was like, I
Speaker 1: got the synthetic weed and it looked like easter basket
Speaker 1: like stuffing, you know that, like grass plastic wrap, and
Speaker 1: you smoked that. In my heart, I thought I was
Speaker 1: gonna die. I literally was considering writing a note or
Speaker 1: and I started like the joke I wrote after it
Speaker 1: and this is not even a lie. I started like
Speaker 1: cleaning up because I literally thought EMTs were gonna have
Speaker 1: to be called because my heart was being so fast
Speaker 1: and I felt so crazy. So that was the one
Speaker 1: time I was like, holy shit, and I was like,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Why are you smoking something that
Speaker 1: looks like plastic? Like what is wrong with you? But
Speaker 1: I was just young and dumb man like I wasn't
Speaker 1: trying to hurt myself, but like I was thinking.
Speaker 3: Now everything has plastic in it.
Speaker 1: That's true.
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 1: I was smoking microplastics before we were drinking them where
Speaker 1: it was cool. Yeah, I mean yeah. And then I
Speaker 1: smoked weed out of like a red bullcan, and then
Speaker 1: I realized that I was just you know, smoking, You
Speaker 1: just smoke aluminum, what the fuck? Or like a big
Speaker 1: pen plastic? Yeah, what You're not even supposed to like
Speaker 1: microwave a plastic thing for ten seconds that eats something
Speaker 1: out of it. Yet you are inhaling the plastic fumes,
Speaker 1: which I did many times, and Creek beds and Kirkwood, Missouri.
Speaker 1: It's insane.
Speaker 2: So if you if you look into Nikki's glasses, if
Speaker 2: you hold them into a specific way, because the reflection
Speaker 2: of the screens that we're on are in her glasses.
Speaker 2: It looks like she has big giant cartoon eyes. Really
Speaker 2: hould your head up and to the right a little bit.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I see it.
Speaker 2: She's got a big giant cartoon Oh, oh my god.
Speaker 1: It does look like I can kind of see it
Speaker 1: through it. It looks like almost like I'm on like ants.
Speaker 2: The c G. I yeah, yeah, wow. So go to
Speaker 2: YouTube if you want to see those wacky cartoon eyes.
Speaker 1: I hope it looks good in on the thing. I'll
Speaker 1: keep looking up this way because I actually can see
Speaker 1: better because slightly less can this one.
Speaker 2: That one's great. It looks like cartoon eyes. Oh my god,
Speaker 2: it looks like we added a filter to nick.
Speaker 1: Like if you can see it, because I can seriously
Speaker 1: see it. My neck will start hurting. But it's good.
Speaker 2: You can turn your head to the exact all the way.
Speaker 2: And you also get cartoon nice because you have the
Speaker 2: other screen.
Speaker 1: Welld on, I'm trying to keep the dots in the
Speaker 1: in the middle.
Speaker 2: Yeah there's now there's two. Yeah, there we go, there
Speaker 2: we go. Oh my god.
Speaker 1: It really does really got to churn into our YouTube. Yeah,
Speaker 1: experience this and I can't I can't be too aware.
Speaker 2: Of it.
Speaker 1: Uh, it's hard. So Uh, Taylor Swift is coming out
Speaker 1: with a new I'll be and yeah, and I haven't
Speaker 1: talked about it yet, and I know it's been so
Speaker 1: many weeks, but it just happened for me because we're
Speaker 1: pretaping these episodes. It happened how many nights ago. Grammys
Speaker 1: were Sunday and it is now Wednesday. So I just
Speaker 1: want to walk you through my experience. I was on
Speaker 1: the red carpet for the Jane's Fund Jane's Got a
Speaker 1: Fund event, and there was a woman who interviewed me
Speaker 1: and I was talking about I alread talked about I
Speaker 1: was talking about the foster system and how foster care
Speaker 1: system and how women get out of it and they
Speaker 1: need help whatever answering those questions. And then this one
Speaker 1: girl was like, can we talk about Taylor Swift or
Speaker 1: some something like that. I was like yes, and I go,
Speaker 1: I think tonight, I'm trying to find the video. I'm
Speaker 1: desperate to find this red carpet interview it, or even
Speaker 1: just find the girl who it was so I can go, hey,
Speaker 1: can you give me that footage? I said, Taylor switches.
Speaker 1: Everyone thinks she's gonna do a re announce of her
Speaker 1: re recording of Reputation, because that's what's next. We just
Speaker 1: know it. She's giving all the clues. But I said,
Speaker 1: I actually think she's announcing a brand new album. I
Speaker 1: know that's a lot to say, but I don't think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Reputation. I think it's a brand new
Speaker 1: album because there's just been I just had a sense
Speaker 1: because the hints were not giving over the top reputation.
Speaker 1: There wasn't like a ton of snakes. There's been snakes
Speaker 1: in her outfits and like she's dropping Easter eggs here
Speaker 1: and there. All of her friends turned their profile pictures
Speaker 1: to black and white about two or three weeks ago.
Speaker 1: And this is again I'm talking to like two weeks
Speaker 1: in the past right now, So this was five weeks
Speaker 1: to you, but like right, I would say two weeks
Speaker 1: before the Grammys, maybe three weeks. Everyone in her circle,
Speaker 1: including Travis, turned their profile pictures to black and white.
Speaker 1: And everyone's like, oh, that could be reputation because Reputation's
Speaker 1: imaging is like black and dark and snakes and like
Speaker 1: black sparkles and like it's that vibe. So everyone's like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is her teasing reputation, it's coming up. But now
Speaker 1: once you see what this album is about, this new
Speaker 1: album called the Tortured Poets Department? Did I get that right?
Speaker 1: Can you like have it up in front of Okay
Speaker 1: for now, I just now memorized it. I don't know
Speaker 1: about other Swifties, but Tortured Poet's Department was not sticky
Speaker 1: in the brain in my Brian that night, I like
Speaker 1: kept thinking it was the Tortured Poets.
Speaker 2: Committee, the Dead Poets Society.
Speaker 1: Dead Poets Society. Yeah, that's comes into it, and so
Speaker 1: it was just really hard for me to get. But
Speaker 1: I think I TPD. I think is what we're gonna
Speaker 1: call it as Swifties because it's just a mouthful toilet
Speaker 1: paper dick. But yeah, tepilet paper dick, that's what I'll
Speaker 1: call it. And that's could be her next album. She
Speaker 1: could Like Icepice just came out with a song about
Speaker 1: fart and it's number one or it's like on the
Speaker 1: Billboard charts. It's the first song with fart.
Speaker 2: And I've always said that, you got what fart's number one?
Speaker 2: You do fart songs number one? Always say it. I
Speaker 2: said that podcast interview on almost one hundred episodes. I've
Speaker 2: said it on everyone, you just got to find it.
Speaker 1: But I predicted it and anyway, so because it just
Speaker 1: felt like it didn't feel over the top reputation to me.
Speaker 1: And it turns out if you look at the now
Speaker 1: styles of these different albums, of what she's given us,
Speaker 1: of this new one, it is not reputation at all,
Speaker 1: but it's kind of could be. So we all got
Speaker 1: clowned hard on this one, which is what we call
Speaker 1: it in the swifty community when we think she's going
Speaker 1: to do something then she doesn't, or we think one
Speaker 1: thing and she does other things. The emoji is a clown.
Speaker 1: You just go like me me on April nineteenth, and
Speaker 1: I'll be like a clown, like we know she's gonna
Speaker 1: clown us, Like we think she's gonna do this, she's
Speaker 1: gonna go that way, and she totally clowned us.
Speaker 2: But not me.
Speaker 1: I knew, but I was coming out of the bathroom.
Speaker 1: She won. I'm running down the bathroom in these like
Speaker 1: seven inch heels, like from I'm at the Palladium. The
Speaker 1: bathroom's like in the lobby, so imagine the Pladium's like
Speaker 1: going to a place to see a play, you know,
Speaker 1: and so it's like you the bathrooms are out in
Speaker 1: the foyer area, like removed from where it's being shown
Speaker 1: on the screen, and I just hear her win. I
Speaker 1: don't see it because I'm in the bathroom. I'm running
Speaker 1: out and I have to run down these marble stairs
Speaker 1: like this whole staircase, like like I'm like Cinderella at midnight,
Speaker 1: like oh before, and I'm running down and I hear
Speaker 1: her win. But thankfully, while I was running, she was
Speaker 1: getting to her seat, so I missed all of her
Speaker 1: like you know, high fiving everyone and hugging someone. But
Speaker 1: by the time I got in the room, she was
Speaker 1: then perfectly on stage ready to talk, so I didn't
Speaker 1: miss that. I was so excited so that I ran
Speaker 1: and I gave Chris my camera because I was like,
Speaker 1: I want to get a picture of me with her,
Speaker 1: like you know, winning, And I was because I was
Speaker 1: so excited because it is her first thing that she
Speaker 1: won was best song, I think for Anti Hero. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I don't remember it right now. I should do that
Speaker 1: because she's my best friend. But she she looked so beautiful.
Speaker 1: I was so excited and then she says, you know,
Speaker 1: and I want to tell you something that I've kept
Speaker 1: secret for two years and were still thinking, like could
Speaker 1: it be reputation, because yeah, she could have been keeping
Speaker 1: that secret to years, but I just knew. And she's like,
Speaker 1: I have a new album coming out and I am
Speaker 1: so fucking excited. And I know it's annoying. I know
Speaker 1: swifties are annoying. I just have to tell you, as
Speaker 1: a swiftie, I can be really obnoxious sometimes and I
Speaker 1: know it's like overblown and over the top, and it's like,
Speaker 1: roll your eyes. It feels so good when you hear
Speaker 1: that your favorite thing is about to have more of
Speaker 1: your favorite thing, Like just imagine that your team wins
Speaker 1: and you get to watch them play more in the
Speaker 1: playoffs or whatever. Like it's just more new things of
Speaker 1: the thing you love the most. So it is a
Speaker 1: amazing feeling that this bitch is so goddamn parl.
Speaker 3: Is there anyone else at your table that was a swiftye?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 1: So you this was hard. I was looking around. I
Speaker 1: was like I vibed my table to see if anyone
Speaker 1: else was a little bit over that, like even like
Speaker 1: you know, just really had a lot of respect for her,
Speaker 1: or like not obviously everyone respects her, but I just
Speaker 1: thought someone would be, you know, even a moderate.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: I was looking for moderate, a moderate to severe swifty.
Speaker 1: It was the range that I would have liked. But
Speaker 1: there was no one. But there was Chris, who knows
Speaker 1: how much she means to me, so he was excited
Speaker 1: that my friend won. And I know that feels stupid,
Speaker 1: but I don't think she's my friend. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that in that way. I'm just saying, like, for I
Speaker 1: have had friends win these awards. I've had friends, like
Speaker 1: a best friend win an Emmy, and it's the same feeling.
Speaker 1: So you can say like, she's not your friend, like
Speaker 1: when Swifty's are excited about Taylor winning these things. You
Speaker 1: someone can always be like you don't. You don't really
Speaker 1: she doesn't feel like This is not the way you
Speaker 1: react if she's not your friend or whatever. But I'm
Speaker 1: here to tell you I have had friends when iman
Speaker 1: It is the same feeling. You are feeling a real
Speaker 1: thing that is like, it means something. It makes you
Speaker 1: feel good, so lean into it, Mitch. But I had
Speaker 1: to pull back in a little bit because I just
Speaker 1: was trying to be cool around my new famous friends,
Speaker 1: and it just wasn't the vibe to be like, hey, yes,
Speaker 1: people are like talking about their kids, showing pictures of
Speaker 1: the kids, talking about other stuff like it was just
Speaker 1: people weren't even watching and for me to be like,
Speaker 1: she won, can you believe? So I was furiously texting
Speaker 1: nor Hadidi, who is my uh my one friend who
Speaker 1: is the biggest swifty that as big as I am,
Speaker 1: and like right on the same level. She's severe, uh
Speaker 1: chronic swifty, and so we were texting back and forth
Speaker 1: about like, oh my god, she did it, and I
Speaker 1: was like, nor I predicted it, and she was like,
Speaker 1: you did, you said reputation. I go, oh fuck, I
Speaker 1: didn't tell you my new prediction because I wanted it
Speaker 1: in writing. I was searching our chat to be like,
Speaker 1: I know I predicted this, but yeah, I was so excited.
Speaker 2: And so then that's how I felt about nine to eleven.
Speaker 2: What then I predicted it? But nobody.
Speaker 1: You do wonder like if you went back in time
Speaker 1: and could stop nine to eleven, like how you would
Speaker 1: convince people. You would just go like, hey, well you
Speaker 1: just like screen people extra hard at this airport today,
Speaker 1: and you could have or these airports would ever believe
Speaker 1: you no, especially no, but you could just be like,
Speaker 1: I have I have you know information that uh.
Speaker 2: And then you'd get arrested and you'd get yeah.
Speaker 1: They'd be like, how do you know this, and you're like,
Speaker 1: I'm from the future. It's a long story, Like it's
Speaker 1: gonna be as crazy as American Nightmare when they were like,
Speaker 1: these guys come in with wetsuits on and put headphones
Speaker 1: over our ears and goggles speaking of goggles that you
Speaker 1: were wearing. If you saw American Nightmare. The story, the
Speaker 1: way in which this guy kidnapped these people was so
Speaker 1: crazy that he definitely sounded like he had murdered her
Speaker 1: because he said this guy was wearing wet suit and
Speaker 1: put you know, music on in their headphones and then
Speaker 1: made the little square for them to sit in like
Speaker 1: it was everyone's just like oh yeah, And then did
Speaker 1: the guys climb out of the seat and trying to
Speaker 1: kidnap your girlfriend. It's like, we know you killed her.
Speaker 1: This is ridiculous. It was as if he said I'm
Speaker 1: from the future, so yeah, you'd be fucked with the
Speaker 1: I'm from the future.
Speaker 2: That would be a funny movie. If a guy's from
Speaker 2: the future, he's trying to he'ps trying to prevent tragedies
Speaker 2: from happening, and no one believes him, and then and
Speaker 2: then keep happening. He's like, I told you I'm from
Speaker 2: the future.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's interesting, and they're like, no, we think you're
Speaker 1: the cause of it. Like what, oh that's good. Okay,
Speaker 1: someone to make that someone Steele Brian's idea.
Speaker 3: Okay, wait, I have have a conspiracy theory. Questions about this,
Speaker 3: please before we go through the track listing, if you
Speaker 3: have anything to say. So Joe Allen, is this album
Speaker 3: about him? He says, not a.
Speaker 1: Great week to be Joe Allen. Yeah, chat, Yes, that's okay,
Speaker 1: So he did. Yes, this is the Man Club and
Speaker 1: we all knew about this. This was in an interview
Speaker 1: a while ago with Paul mess Cal that he did
Speaker 1: where he said that they have a group chat called
Speaker 1: the Tortured Man's Club.
Speaker 3: Is that what it's going It's called the U the
Speaker 3: Tortured Man Club.
Speaker 1: Okay. So yes, they had done an interview where I
Speaker 1: think it was for Vanity Fair, where they admitted that
Speaker 1: they had this chat. And this was months ago. It
Speaker 1: might have been even when Taylor was still with Joe.
Speaker 1: Maybe a year or so ago, and yeah, that's that's
Speaker 1: definitely possible that she could be hinting at that and
Speaker 1: making fun of that a little bit. But because I
Speaker 1: do think there's gonna be something, I think she's gonna
Speaker 1: take herself, not so seriously as we all think she's
Speaker 1: gonna take herself with this new like whole poetry thing,
Speaker 1: Like I think she's she's gonna have like a wink
Speaker 1: that she's gonna be winking at us throughout it, So
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think she named it the Tortured
Speaker 1: Poets Department because she's like, I'm a tortured pope poet
Speaker 1: and I'm the commissioner of that, or like, you know,
Speaker 1: the chairman, because she's she does have that listed chairman
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift or whatever it is, which I think it's
Speaker 1: all like fun funny. I think it's funny. Otherwise I'll
Speaker 1: have to I'll have to, you know, reassess once I
Speaker 1: hear the music. The music's gonna be amazing no matter what.
Speaker 1: That's what we know. I don't care what she's doing
Speaker 1: with the branding of it, like I actually it's not
Speaker 1: that I don't care. I just whatever she means by it.
Speaker 1: I love it all. I think it's gorgeous. Her photo
Speaker 1: on the fucking cover of this new album is so good.
Speaker 1: It's so sexy, but it's like not over the top
Speaker 1: at all, but it's like she's wearing a sheer top.
Speaker 1: Her mouth, her lips are partially opened in a perfect way.
Speaker 1: She looks stunning. It's hot, it's sexy, but it's also
Speaker 1: indie and cool. It's just she nailed it, nailed it
Speaker 1: with this album cover. I think I love it so much.
Speaker 1: And then the track listing got released. Last time with Midnights,
Speaker 1: she would give us a new track like every twice
Speaker 1: a week. I think it was all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: she'd post on TikTok this midnight thing where she would
Speaker 1: get a call. She'd be in this room and she'd
Speaker 1: get a call and she'd be like, the next track
Speaker 1: is Vigilante Shit. And then but it was Oh, she
Speaker 1: would pick a ball out of this thing. She would
Speaker 1: roll this like lottery ball, and then she'd be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna reveal check three. So you would just get
Speaker 1: a random one every night, and we were freaking out
Speaker 1: because we're like, she's a song called Vigilante Shit. She's
Speaker 1: putting shit in the fuck. She just started cussing two
Speaker 1: albums ago. Now she's saying shit. She like doesn't give
Speaker 1: a fuck. That was so exciting and then you know,
Speaker 1: so the track names are so important to being as
Speaker 1: swifty because you get to like have this whole experience
Speaker 1: of like imagining what it could be and being like,
Speaker 1: oh fuck. And so we got all of them in
Speaker 1: one night. We had to wait for so long, which
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit sad about because it's fun to
Speaker 1: just get something new every so often. But I think
Speaker 1: the tracks got leaked on TikTok, which people are saying,
Speaker 1: how could that happen? She keeps her circle so tight,
Speaker 1: like if you want to listen to a tailor So song,
Speaker 1: she is like, hey this other artist, will you listen
Speaker 1: to a song? Someone flies to that city and brings
Speaker 1: them the track to listen to and then takes it
Speaker 1: away on a physical device. It does not get sent
Speaker 1: digitally ever ever anywhere. So she doesn't fuck around. But
Speaker 1: people are saying that because records take so long to print,
Speaker 1: it's someone involved with the rec like some printing on
Speaker 1: the record. He did it leaved both one. I'm so
Speaker 1: excited he is on the first track called Fortnite, which
Speaker 1: people are saying that Fortnite might be about how Joe
Speaker 1: plays so much Fortnite. Oh brother, dude, can you imagine?
Speaker 1: It's such a good word too, and it fits with
Speaker 1: the aesthetic and and like being a poet like saying
Speaker 1: Fortnite but then being a song about him playing to
Speaker 1: which Fortnite is fucking brilliant, and so just like, dude,
Speaker 1: I really do feel bad for Joe Alwen, but like
Speaker 1: he'll be okay, He'll be okay.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm just like, what is he poor Joe Alwen? Because
Speaker 1: what do you do in defense? Like you've signed all
Speaker 1: the NDAs, you really can't give an interview in which
Speaker 1: you talk about her. And if you want to talk
Speaker 1: about her in your art as she's talking about you,
Speaker 1: what are you going to act really mad one time?
Speaker 1: Like what are you gonna you have to write a character.
Speaker 2: Where he's from the future and he's coming back to
Speaker 2: tell everyone about nine to eleven.
Speaker 1: He has, you know, like artistically, I want him to
Speaker 1: have the freedom to respond because I think it's fair.
Speaker 1: Like Chris always wanted to start a podcast for men
Speaker 1: who get talked about on podcasts like their girlfriends do podcasts,
Speaker 1: and so they just go in and listen to the
Speaker 1: podcast and then comment on their side of things. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, do it. I think that's a great idea.
Speaker 1: I will be I'll own up to this stuff. But
Speaker 1: I think that it's it's it isn't fair if someone
Speaker 1: is not able to reply. But it's like, what if
Speaker 1: your girlfriend is a comedian and gets to talk all
Speaker 1: about your relationship and your job is like you, you
Speaker 1: tap dance and musicals like you? How are you gonna
Speaker 1: like you don't write plays like or you are an
Speaker 1: electricity like you? I guess you. But if you sign
Speaker 1: it in DA you can't write about someone outright.
Speaker 2: It's okay. As Jacquelin Novak said in her last special,
Speaker 2: they got the blow jobs and isn't that enough?
Speaker 1: Yeah, blow jobs are pretty These guys.
Speaker 2: Dated Taylor Swift for a while and that's.
Speaker 1: You know, is that what she's saying? Echlan says it
Speaker 1: to is like she's talking.
Speaker 2: About all these guys that she gave blowjobs to and that,
Speaker 2: and she's like, but is it is it? Uh? Is
Speaker 2: it offensive to them to be talking about them like this?
Speaker 2: So intimately and She's like, I'm not gonna name them
Speaker 2: by name, but also they got the blowjobs and isn't
Speaker 2: that enough?
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, that is Oh god, I love that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we've I think Jacqueline and I have blown the same people,
Speaker 1: So I think, uh, same person, one of the same people,
Speaker 1: because I remember us both being this.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: I was very jealous of her at first because she
Speaker 1: was just a beautiful girl my age, blonde hair, similar features,
Speaker 1: I'm like, and so funny. So I remember being like,
Speaker 1: who is she? And she had this amazing like I
Speaker 1: think it was on MySpace. She had this photo that
Speaker 1: she just looked like a fucking angel. And I'll tell
Speaker 1: you more about it after the break. We're back. Jacqueline Novak,
Speaker 1: who's new special Get on your Knees, Get on your knees.
Speaker 1: Such a good name too, but I couldn't remember. But
Speaker 1: she's amazing and I used to be Yeah, I used
Speaker 1: to look at her from a farm and be like, cut,
Speaker 1: she's like everything I want to be. She'd remind I
Speaker 1: didn't me have this girl in high school who I
Speaker 1: really admired Jen Shoemaker. No, Lisa Schumeyer. Lisa Schumeyer was
Speaker 1: also a girl that I just was like, she's looks
Speaker 1: like me. If I could figure out how to just
Speaker 1: tweak myself a little bit, like I can see myself
Speaker 1: looking exactly like this girl, if I just figure it out.
Speaker 1: You know, Lisa Schumeyer's flares always hit on the ground perfectly,
Speaker 1: like not too baggy, where it would be like you
Speaker 1: would get like a fold at the bottom. There's a
Speaker 1: name for that, my stylas just taught me, but I
Speaker 1: don't know what it is, where it kind of like
Speaker 1: crunkles at the bottom because it's too long. It's called
Speaker 1: so there's two crunkles on the bottom usually for me
Speaker 1: with either because they're too long. But hers would hit.
Speaker 1: It would crunkle just that little seam, you know, the
Speaker 1: little end part of the so it wouldn't even be
Speaker 1: that be like half that that, but it would never
Speaker 1: if she raised, if she crossed her legs, it would
Speaker 1: still be at that level like they were. Just I
Speaker 1: used to just stare at her the fit of her
Speaker 1: jeans and how they would gracefully lay perfectly across her birkenstock,
Speaker 1: and then they would crumple in the front because you
Speaker 1: have to like a little crumble, but in the back
Speaker 1: there wouldn't be too much crumpling. They were never dirty,
Speaker 1: and she had this like hair that she could just
Speaker 1: like put back. Like her hair you could tell dried straight.
Speaker 1: Like fuck you. If you're a girl whose hair dries straight,
Speaker 1: I'll just speak for frizzy haired bitches. We resent you,
Speaker 1: and I know that you resent us because you want
Speaker 1: to have curl in your hair. So it's like the
Speaker 1: grass is greener. But man, I really admire girls like
Speaker 1: can just their hair dries straight. Mine does now because
Speaker 1: I have enough weight on it. But when you are
Speaker 1: have short hair, as a girl with hair like it doesn't,
Speaker 1: it drives dries crazy. Frizzle frizzle, Yeah, miss frizzle. It's
Speaker 1: frizzling out. And but yeah, wait, who was I originally
Speaker 1: talking about the reminding me of this.
Speaker 2: Girl, Jaqueline Novak?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Jacqueline, So Jack Jackel. I remember finding out
Speaker 1: about her because the guy I had blown and was
Speaker 1: like I liked final thought, and like always wanted this.
Speaker 1: I always wanted this guy to like come back around.
Speaker 1: I saw him like hanging out with her, and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh God, like she is the better version
Speaker 1: of me, Like he did it, and I was really jealous,
Speaker 1: but then I got to know her and she's so amazing.
Speaker 2: Have we talked about her yet?
Speaker 1: Nice? I haven't watched it, Oh, well, so I can't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm so embarrassed I haven't because I owe sure
Speaker 1: and I promoted it. Yeah, I will watch. I think
Speaker 1: it's hard for me right now to watch other women's
Speaker 1: specials because of that competitive nature in myself of being
Speaker 1: I just don't. I'm avoiding things that I know are
Speaker 1: going to be great because I have a special coming
Speaker 1: out and I've just reviewed mine and I can't take
Speaker 1: mine back like it's in it's in the chamber ready
Speaker 1: to shoot, and once it's shot, I can watch other specials. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but right now when I'm like, I could change it,
Speaker 1: which I can't. Like, there's something in me that's making
Speaker 1: me not watch good comedy specials, especially from beautiful blonde women,
Speaker 1: which there seems to be only like.
Speaker 2: She doesn't that blonde to me? I always fere as
Speaker 2: a brunette.
Speaker 1: Really, Okay, all right, well now I can watch it
Speaker 1: like dark yess, wait, you can speak to it. How
Speaker 1: did you feel about it?
Speaker 2: I thought it was an incredible piece of art, hilarious,
Speaker 2: and I feel like she you know, she's been working
Speaker 2: on this special for five years, so I would expect
Speaker 2: it to be like extremely particular and wording and things
Speaker 2: like that, but this is like above and beyond. I
Speaker 2: feel like she's somewhat invented a new form of comedy
Speaker 2: that marries poetry and stand up in a way. It's
Speaker 2: a genre of bending piece of work that totally as
Speaker 2: inspire a new generation.
Speaker 1: I think the clips I've seen it is absolutely it
Speaker 1: is totally tortured Poet's Department. Yeah, it's funny poetry. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like leaning into that style but also mocking it,
Speaker 1: sort of having fun within it while also like honoring it.
Speaker 1: It's totally TPD.
Speaker 2: There's going to be a generation of barred graduates who
Speaker 2: are going to try stand up comedy and do it
Speaker 2: like Jacquelyn Novak, and they're not going to be able.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be like when they were the baby Bird.
Speaker 1: She's brilliant, dude. She wrote a book about depression. I
Speaker 1: should read that book since I've been feeling depressed recently.
Speaker 2: I did.
Speaker 1: I never read that book either. It's like, I just
Speaker 1: have to say I have a lot of talented friends
Speaker 1: that do a lot of things, and I don't always
Speaker 1: get to all of them, and I feel bad admitting that,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna read that book because that's actually what
Speaker 1: I need right now.
Speaker 2: But can we just Great Depression? Maybe that?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, Gary's I loved that. I loved that
Speaker 1: a lot, Gary Gary Goldman Special. Yeah, The Great Depress. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I should watch that again. You're right and Neil talk
Speaker 1: about Neil Brennan. He has a lot of coming about depression.
Speaker 1: But uh Tortured Poet's Department track listings. I just want
Speaker 1: to say, we're about to get a really good album,
Speaker 1: Like it's gonna be so much fun. Some of these
Speaker 1: titles are just like someone kind of talked about how
Speaker 1: this album is probably the stages of grief and her
Speaker 1: breakup because she only gave us the song You're Losing
Speaker 1: Me as the song about her breakup with Joe, and
Speaker 1: she probably wrote it about him before they broke up
Speaker 1: this last time. It's probably written between two breakups or
Speaker 1: before the first breakup, So that song's amazing, You're Losing Me,
Speaker 1: it's like perfect for anyone who's going through a breakup
Speaker 1: and this struggles of like it's it's written from the
Speaker 1: perspective of someone who's like telling someone the first time, Like,
Speaker 1: I have a question, we have to end this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, about Taylor's history, has she ever released an album
Speaker 3: while in a relationship with a new guy where this
Speaker 3: is kind of new?
Speaker 1: No, There's Lover was all about falling in love with Joe,
Speaker 1: but she with yeah, huh no, like now she's with
Speaker 1: Travis Travis, and let's say some of the songs in
Speaker 1: this album are about her relationship with Joe Allen.
Speaker 3: Has she been in this kind of situation or was
Speaker 3: she always broken up when the album came out.
Speaker 1: She's been in this situation and she's been on the
Speaker 1: next one. So Joe definitely dealt with well, she was
Speaker 1: more coming out of the Kanye Kim stuff that he
Speaker 1: dealt with that. But I think, yes, There's Travis is
Speaker 1: gonna have to be okay with her writing about other
Speaker 1: guys and being sad or whatever. Like part of me
Speaker 1: was like, can you like this? Yeah, because she's fucking
Speaker 1: I mean, because it's gonna be undeniably musically fucking perfect.
Speaker 1: But it's like he's she's over that guy, so she's
Speaker 1: writing about being over him because the first part there's
Speaker 1: like four quadrants. People are kind of separating them into
Speaker 1: I think she actually separated them Side A, side B, whatever,
Speaker 1: CD and then but it's like the stages of going
Speaker 1: through relationships. So the first part is about breaking up
Speaker 1: with Joe, the second part is about or like when
Speaker 1: they broke. We're talking about breaking up, breaking up, and
Speaker 1: then her rebound with Matt. Heally, what is the third
Speaker 1: What are the tracks in the third quadrant called so
Speaker 1: Long London? Oh again, that's him her leaving Joe. Joe
Speaker 1: is London, He's from London. He's he's the guy from
Speaker 1: the song London Boy. So that is straight up going
Speaker 1: to be like by Joe. Yeah, I can't wait.
Speaker 3: But Daddy I love him.
Speaker 1: But Daddy I Love Him is a shirt that that
Speaker 1: was Harry styles War. He is pictured with it, maybe
Speaker 1: more than once. It says, but Daddy I love him.
Speaker 1: It's also from The Little Mermaid. She says Daddy, I
Speaker 1: love him. She doesn't say but Daddy says, Daddy, I
Speaker 1: Love Him, which is released in nineteen eighty nine, which
Speaker 1: is Taylor's birth year, so people think it could be
Speaker 1: and that is a story of a woman who lost
Speaker 1: her voice because she was so in love people are
Speaker 1: speculating that the Little Mermaid could be related to that
Speaker 1: was Fresh Out the Slammer. Fresh Out the Slammer is
Speaker 1: she's out of the prison she was in, So this
Speaker 1: is the first this is when she's out. She's and
Speaker 1: by the way, this is all I get this all
Speaker 1: from a TikTok guy who broke it down and he's amazing,
Speaker 1: and I wish I could credit him, but I don't
Speaker 1: remember him, but he kind of put this all together,
Speaker 1: not all of what I'm saying, but the thing about
Speaker 1: fresh out of the Slammer, because after Fresh out of
Speaker 1: the Slammer, it's Florida, right, Yeah, so Florida is the
Speaker 1: date because there's one song called something Florida. What is
Speaker 1: it called.
Speaker 3: It's just called Florida with three exclamations, three excamation points
Speaker 3: and it's featuring Florence and the Machine.
Speaker 1: Yes, so florencea Machine is gonna be hon it. That's
Speaker 1: going to be amazing. And Florida, Swifties have discovered is
Speaker 1: the first date that she had after her breakup, like
Speaker 1: that she was performing in Florida, So that's like something
Speaker 1: happens in Florida. And then comes the Matt Healey stuff,
Speaker 1: but Daddy I love him might also be Matt Healey,
Speaker 1: We're not sure. And then uh, and then the ending.
Speaker 1: I think the last couple of songs were on. The
Speaker 1: fourth part is going to be her coming out of
Speaker 1: it and meeting Travis, so we might get like a
Speaker 1: whole life cycle of a breakup into the new life,
Speaker 1: which I'm so excited about. I knew this so badly.
Speaker 1: I just cannot wait this long. It's the It's the fourth,
Speaker 1: the nineteenth of April. When are you do?
Speaker 3: Noah, end of April? I might, but who knows.
Speaker 1: I got two things for me to look forward to.
Speaker 2: I mean, I get that this is such a great
Speaker 2: win for the Grammy. It's gonna be such a good
Speaker 2: yeah that they you know, Taylor Swift announces her album
Speaker 2: dropping at the Grammys.
Speaker 1: And no people said it was lame that she did that,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, why.
Speaker 2: Well, there is a there is one thing that that
Speaker 2: bothers me. It's that boyfriend's in the super Bowl this weekend.
Speaker 2: And now this is being totally overshadowed because she just
Speaker 2: did an album thing the same weekend that he's going
Speaker 2: to be in the super Bowl.
Speaker 3: They both have the moment.
Speaker 2: Everybody's talking about her album, but the super Bowl. Uh, Now,
Speaker 2: nobody cares about the super Bowl anymore. No one's talking about.
Speaker 1: It, no one's everyone's always so much that no one's
Speaker 1: talking about.
Speaker 2: Sports, no one's talking about the sports, and then one's
Speaker 2: talking about Joe. I'm sick of that is.
Speaker 1: Really interesting, Brian, that you think that she's stealing a
Speaker 1: spotlight listen. Not a horrible theory, interesting theory, but I
Speaker 1: just don't think that's it.
Speaker 2: But I also this is this episode is coming out
Speaker 2: five weeks after the super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe yeah, but maybe by now it's been proven
Speaker 1: either right or wrong.
Speaker 3: I dress to the Grammys, especially with everyone talking about
Speaker 3: engagement and all that. I don't know if it's interesting.
Speaker 1: I didn't even think of that. I've so much to
Speaker 1: say about the tracks, but we have to go. We
Speaker 1: learned a lot today. Thank you for tuning in. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna I'm still in Australia right now. Next week we'll
Speaker 1: be back with fresh episodes two a week. Thank you
Speaker 1: guys so much for holding out. We might not have
Speaker 1: commented on a huge thing that's happened in the world
Speaker 1: since four weeks ago. Clear War yeah, if you're listening
Speaker 1: to this from a bunker. Oh my god, can you
Speaker 1: believe this fucking happened? I know me too, I predicted
Speaker 1: it all right. Bye, guys, have a good weekend. We'll
Speaker 1: see you next week
