Speaker 1: The Nicky Gliser podcastser here's Nikki.
Speaker 2: Hello, here I am. It's Nicky Glazer Podcast. Welcome to
Speaker 2: the show. I'm in Saint Louis, Missouri with my mom.
Speaker 1: She was in studio.
Speaker 2: She was here with us yesterday for Kathy Griffin. She's
Speaker 2: here again today.
Speaker 1: Yes, I am.
Speaker 2: And Brian is in New York where he is visiting
Speaker 2: family for Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3: Right, yes, Hello, I'm in Long Island.
Speaker 2: Oh he's you say in or on?
Speaker 3: I'm on Long Island.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: I was really proud of myself when I adopted saying
Speaker 2: on Long Island instead of in And then Ryan just
Speaker 2: threw me up, Yeah you said in, and I.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm from there. So you know, how do you hear.
Speaker 2: At the grocery store? Do you wait online or do
Speaker 2: you wait in line at the grocery store.
Speaker 3: I wait in line. I think I'm in line.
Speaker 1: I always waited line. I'm in line.
Speaker 2: But people say I've first. Wendy leave me and had
Speaker 2: a joke that she was like, I met my boyfriend
Speaker 2: online at the grocery store, and that was the first
Speaker 2: time I ever heard that that turn of phrase to
Speaker 2: describe a grocery online. That's not even no, Yeah, that
Speaker 2: these people are waiting online like that means like uh,
Speaker 2: like before online was the thing.
Speaker 1: I think it meant like in line, Oh, never heard that.
Speaker 2: In Saint Louis, we have a saying that no one
Speaker 2: else it's only regional to Saint Louis.
Speaker 1: What is it in high school?
Speaker 2: And Chris knows this too, because he's Saint Louis High school.
Speaker 2: If you are from Saint Louis in high school, when
Speaker 2: we would hook up or if there was a hookup
Speaker 2: that was going on and hooking up meaning like anything
Speaker 2: like butt sex, not not but sex, not butt sex,
Speaker 2: no one was doing that in high school that I
Speaker 2: knew of. We didn't go to a Mormon school. But
Speaker 2: everything except sex. If you were just like hooking up
Speaker 2: making out to blow jobs, I think maybe was called
Speaker 2: you got on them?
Speaker 4: I have?
Speaker 2: Did you get on each other this weekend? Oh my god,
Speaker 2: Rachel got on Joey this weekend. They got on each other.
Speaker 2: And it sounds so stupid now, but it was just
Speaker 2: the way we said it. And it sounds so stupid
Speaker 2: because it literally just sounds like they just sat on
Speaker 2: each like one climbed on top of the other, and
Speaker 2: then they just sat, which is kind of what you
Speaker 2: think sex is when you're a kid.
Speaker 4: I don't think you'd ever like say those words in
Speaker 4: front of me in high school.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we probably said the gag and the goy the
Speaker 2: gone at the geech got back.
Speaker 1: We probably said it gibberish enough to drive. Yeah, a
Speaker 1: parent correct.
Speaker 3: That made me feel crazy awesome.
Speaker 2: Though, Gibberish is amazing. Every kid should learn it because
Speaker 2: you can. It's a secret language your parents don't speak.
Speaker 1: Or they'll never figure out.
Speaker 4: Lauren trying to teach me, and I was like, I
Speaker 4: cannot figure this out.
Speaker 1: It's very hard.
Speaker 3: No way you understand it.
Speaker 1: You understand you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we could talk with the geek of the gan
Speaker 2: to the gk to the gou, with the geach of
Speaker 2: the gother girl, the gu this again, gonna go for
Speaker 2: the gear with the geef for at the gasket the game.
Speaker 1: But the I.
Speaker 2: Just said, we could talk to each other this fast
Speaker 2: and we know exactly what we're saying.
Speaker 1: It's it's just i'll teach you how to.
Speaker 2: You'll learn it quickly because you have a good like
Speaker 2: math kind of like logical mind.
Speaker 1: But i'll teach you to you someday. It's pretty up.
Speaker 1: It does.
Speaker 2: It sounds it's awful. It's like John Early has a
Speaker 2: bit in his special where he says like, whenever you
Speaker 2: download a new app on your phone, it says like,
Speaker 2: would you is it okay if this app would share
Speaker 2: information with other apps? And then it's one of the
Speaker 2: options are allow, and then the other option is ask
Speaker 2: app not to track. And he's like, ask app and
Speaker 2: he was like, you could have.
Speaker 1: Just said not allow, do not allow no, but it.
Speaker 2: Was like ask app not and he does this whole thing.
Speaker 2: It's so funny. But yeah, jibberish. Is it sounds upsetting?
Speaker 2: I understand who taught you that? The GE's but the
Speaker 2: boys the gone with the gig by the Gake, these
Speaker 2: boys on.
Speaker 1: Break, Oh I was gonna yeah.
Speaker 2: There we were on spring break is junior year and
Speaker 2: these guys uh taught it to us and we were like,
Speaker 2: it just opened. It's like because it's sounds as foreign
Speaker 2: as a foreign language, but it's English and it's easy
Speaker 2: to learn.
Speaker 1: You can learn it in one day and then.
Speaker 2: It takes a while to get fast at it, but
Speaker 2: you can understand it just as much as you can
Speaker 2: speak it. It's it's it's one of the coolest things ever,
Speaker 2: because it's really that's the cool thing about a foreign
Speaker 2: language is that it just sounds so cool, and it
Speaker 2: sounds like nothing you could ever understand, and people could
Speaker 2: talk about you and you wouldn't even know it. You
Speaker 2: have that at your fingertips and gibberish, you just don't
Speaker 2: know it.
Speaker 4: You guys had that little club. Yeah, I'm sure it
Speaker 4: was frustrating for you guys.
Speaker 1: I just would go, I'm so mad, why are they doing?
Speaker 2: But we were never talking about anything to We were
Speaker 2: talking about like, oh, Taylor stolen necklace today. It was
Speaker 2: not like we were like doing drugs, like we weren't
Speaker 2: like the movie you know you were talking about me?
Speaker 3: Was that?
Speaker 1: Uh huh, that's the fear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we didn't care about. The scarier part is we
Speaker 2: weren't thinking.
Speaker 1: About you at all.
Speaker 5: Parents are just like in the way, you know, I
Speaker 5: know that Taylor is on the on the podcast.
Speaker 3: So you talk about your experience in high school a lot,
Speaker 3: but it feels like you have so many things from
Speaker 3: high school that have like the best time, formulated your
Speaker 3: entire personality, but nothing almost nothing from college, like almost zero.
Speaker 2: Because college for me was doing stand up it was
Speaker 2: like right away I discovered stand up and then I
Speaker 2: just was doing that, and then it was there was nothing.
Speaker 2: And in college it was like the pressure was on
Speaker 2: to find a career, make money. Like I realize now that,
Speaker 2: like my parents' money isn't just my money until I die.
Speaker 1: Like there's all this things.
Speaker 2: The pressure sets in high school, there's just like this
Speaker 2: freedom to and I just got extremely lucky. I always
Speaker 2: emphasized that when people didn't have a good, pleasant high
Speaker 2: school experience, there's nothing wrong with you. Like I just
Speaker 2: got lucky that my parents didn't move halfway through my
Speaker 2: sophomore year and I had to start over. And I
Speaker 2: just got lucky that I wasn't in the grade above
Speaker 2: mine or below mind that I that I was born
Speaker 2: in the right month, that I got to meet Kirsten
Speaker 2: and Taylor and Halla and Huffy and these hilarious women.
Speaker 2: I just I just hit the jackpot. And it doesn't
Speaker 2: have to a lot of people. But I just got
Speaker 2: really lucky with those friends. Obviously, there's still a huge
Speaker 2: part of my life. I would say, talk about getting lucky.
Speaker 2: Can I just tell you something. Yeah, So back in
Speaker 2: two thousand and thirteen, there was this really like kind
Speaker 2: of cute shop on Tenth Avenue. I lived on tenth
Speaker 2: Avenue and twenty second Street with on your Marina, and
Speaker 2: I would walk to Equinox every day, and there was
Speaker 2: this really cute shop that had all these like really
Speaker 2: high end clothes that I wouldn't even possibly.
Speaker 1: Think of buying.
Speaker 2: I mean, like we're talking like three hundred dollars shirts
Speaker 2: and four hundred dollars sweaters and all this stuff. But
Speaker 2: I would sometimes go in and just kind of like
Speaker 2: touch things and like think about what like maybe I
Speaker 2: just got a good check in the mail from the show.
Speaker 2: Maybe I can spend on this. But I still wasn't
Speaker 2: comfortable buying that stuff. And there was this one sweater
Speaker 2: that I just like was obsessed with, and I would
Speaker 2: stop in and look at it and go like, I
Speaker 2: really want that. I just can't though it's an but
Speaker 2: I memorized the brand name and I tried it on.
Speaker 2: And I'm not like this with clothes, Like I've never
Speaker 2: become like attached to a thing. In fact, a lot
Speaker 2: of times I will like see something I like, and
Speaker 2: I'll be about to buy it and then I go, no,
Speaker 2: put it back.
Speaker 1: If you keep thinking about it.
Speaker 2: That means you should get it, Like, don't like wait
Speaker 2: a little bit, you know, like really convince yourself you
Speaker 2: want it.
Speaker 1: Do you know any carts I have going on right now?
Speaker 1: It's insane.
Speaker 2: I got a message the other day that said, your
Speaker 2: Abercrombie cart is thinking.
Speaker 1: About you, Nikki. Wait at abercrom Oh, He's one of
Speaker 1: the best places to buy stuff. I'm not kidding you.
Speaker 2: Anytime I get compliments on my jeans, I go Abercrombie
Speaker 2: because they do long oh and so girls with long legs,
Speaker 2: and they also do short. I mean the Abercrombe jeans are.
Speaker 2: I complimented the girl at a meet and greet one
Speaker 2: time for her jeans, and she said, Abercrombie. And I've
Speaker 2: been on that boat ever since. But so I loved
Speaker 2: this and lavished the sweater, and I thought about it
Speaker 2: for years, and I was searching all over for it
Speaker 2: all the time, Like I would search on eBay and
Speaker 2: I would search on Poshmark and just do like And
Speaker 2: this was ten eleven years ago, and then the other
Speaker 2: night just occurred to me like, oh, I'm just gonna
Speaker 2: run my search again, and I fucking found it. And
Speaker 2: it's the sweater.
Speaker 1: I'm weary right now. Stars on it.
Speaker 2: It is like everyone makes this kind of sweater now
Speaker 2: that has like stars on it, but it's never as
Speaker 2: finely made as this. It's cost me one hundred dollars
Speaker 2: as opposed to like I think three hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: was the original price. Wow, it's in mind condition. It's
Speaker 2: the the size large, which I thought was going to
Speaker 2: be too big. But if it was any smaller, I
Speaker 2: would hate it. Yeah, I just opened it. I'm fucking psyched.
Speaker 1: Man. Nice, this is my white whale.
Speaker 2: But I don't know, have you guys ever had a
Speaker 2: thing that you've been looking for your whole life? They
Speaker 2: talk a lot about that in the thrift store. Separate
Speaker 2: of like I found my white whale.
Speaker 1: I never heard that what is it?
Speaker 3: White whale? Yeah? Back in two thousand and nine or
Speaker 3: something like that, Whole Foods would sell these green reusable
Speaker 3: shopping bags that were the perfect size and you could
Speaker 3: fit like you could fit like almost two shopping carts
Speaker 3: full of groceries in this wild Yeah. And then they
Speaker 3: would have span and then the one thing that people
Speaker 3: don't like about it is that the opening is like
Speaker 3: a little smaller than the bag itself. So sometimes it's
Speaker 3: hard to get things in there. But once it's in there.
Speaker 5: They're lost going anywhere, not going anywhere. It's not gonna
Speaker 5: spill out. I would put all this shape. It's volcano shaped,
Speaker 5: almost a little less extreme than that. Look a volcano
Speaker 5: that had recently exploded.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: I would put that bag on my bike and like
Speaker 3: ride home from the grocery store with it. Nothing would
Speaker 3: go wrong. And I still have the bag. I've been
Speaker 3: using it and using I've had this bag for fifteen
Speaker 3: years and I had a little hole in it and
Speaker 3: it still works. You can put in the in the
Speaker 3: washing machine. But I tried. I was like, I love
Speaker 3: this bag so much, I want to go buy another one.
Speaker 3: So I went online. I went on eBay, I went everywhere.
Speaker 3: I called Whole Foods. They don't make the bags anymore.
Speaker 3: There you can't find them anywhere, these green shopping beds.
Speaker 3: I called Whole Foods. I called mister Foods and he
Speaker 3: said they don't make.
Speaker 1: Them anymore, and they like typed it in.
Speaker 3: They're like, sorry, people know what I'm talking about on
Speaker 3: them too.
Speaker 2: So there's other people too that are like, I'm obsessed
Speaker 2: with this bag.
Speaker 3: Yes, because those, you know, like the typical reusable bags
Speaker 3: that are made of like a plastic bottle that are
Speaker 3: crinkly and loud, and aren't that good? Those are? Those
Speaker 3: are not great. They don't hold a lot of stuff.
Speaker 3: You can't fold them up, you can't scrunch them up
Speaker 3: into a ball and put them in your pocket. And
Speaker 3: the ones you can scrunch up into a ball and
Speaker 3: put in your pocket have a big opening and things
Speaker 3: fall out. Try putting a normal like Trader Joe's bag
Speaker 3: that's not plastic eat on the floor and everything will
Speaker 3: just flop out of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's especially on a bicycle. Yes, that's not gonna work.
Speaker 3: So if anyone has the lead on a green Whole
Speaker 3: Foods bag, so.
Speaker 4: I'm looking now, Yeah, Mom's on it. I love they
Speaker 4: have something to look for at the throat.
Speaker 2: But you just told me, Mom that sometimes you will
Speaker 2: like go to a thrift store and like feel like I.
Speaker 1: Need a uh, a certain blouse.
Speaker 2: Or something for this thing coming up, Like I think
Speaker 2: a sparkly blouse and then it'll fucking appear.
Speaker 4: I I mean, I used to be really lucky in
Speaker 4: that department. If I needed something, I would go I'm
Speaker 4: going to find it. I'm going to go in there
Speaker 4: and find it.
Speaker 1: Well, that's the law of attraction. Baby, I'm getting into it.
Speaker 2: I know I've gotten into many things on this podcast
Speaker 2: where it's like this is my new thing. But I
Speaker 2: really do believe manifestation, and like, if you believe that
Speaker 2: you have it, if you believe in your stul that
Speaker 2: you've already achieved it, that it's just going to happen,
Speaker 2: and you relax and you act as if it fucking happens.
Speaker 2: And I was listening, Chris and I were watching Ellen
Speaker 2: DeGeneres's special Relatable It is the name of its twenty
Speaker 2: eighteen Netflix the other night, which is hilarious, by the way.
Speaker 2: It's so good. It's I just love her stand up
Speaker 2: and but she says in it that she she was
Speaker 2: like pretty like down and out. She had no talents.
Speaker 2: She would like, she had no aspiration. She was like
Speaker 2: an oyster shucker, and she worked in a grocery soe
Speaker 2: she like got all these jobs she was, but she
Speaker 2: just didn't know what she was doing with her life.
Speaker 1: She was in her you know, early twenties, New Orleans, right.
Speaker 4: I don't know where she was exactly, yeah, maybe, but
Speaker 4: she yeah, that's what they do down there.
Speaker 1: And she said that she.
Speaker 2: I didn't know this, but her her partner, her girlfriend
Speaker 2: at the time, was in a horrible car accident died.
Speaker 2: Ellen drove past it not knowing it was her. Oh
Speaker 2: my god, and she had to move out of their
Speaker 2: house together, their apartment together, and she moved into this
Speaker 2: basement apartment and she was that was just infested with fleas.
Speaker 2: So she was sleeping on the ground and there are
Speaker 2: fleas all over, and she was just like, what am
Speaker 2: I doing with my life? And she was like she'd
Speaker 2: never done anything creative really, like she's just had never
Speaker 2: even thought of comedy, didn't know, didn't act, didn't sing,
Speaker 2: just was like what am I even doing? And she
Speaker 2: was like, I'm just going to write a poem. She
Speaker 2: had no intention for it to be funny. She was
Speaker 2: like because she was thinking about, like why do fleas
Speaker 2: get to exist? But then my girlfriend, this beautiful woman
Speaker 2: who had her whole life ahead of her, why is that?
Speaker 1: Why is she dead?
Speaker 2: And she was like, I'm I really wish I could
Speaker 2: ask God about this, And so she wrote a poem
Speaker 2: in which she was asking God about fleas and like,
Speaker 2: why are they around? And then she was like thinking, oh,
Speaker 2: if the poem I would call, I would call God,
Speaker 2: like it woud probably. She wasn't even trying to be funny.
Speaker 2: She was like, the phone would probably ring a lot
Speaker 2: because it's a big place. And then she'd be put
Speaker 2: on hold and the hold music would be And then
Speaker 2: was it was this religious song?
Speaker 1: Chris laughed because he's Catholic. I didn't know the song.
Speaker 2: She was like, but it would it would be that
Speaker 2: music playing, but it'd be live because it would be
Speaker 2: you know, and and she and then she decided she
Speaker 2: just had this moment as she's writing the poem and
Speaker 2: this is just you know what she says. So maybe
Speaker 2: it wasn't exactly what happened, but I believe her. She
Speaker 2: said in that moment, she was like, you know what,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell this on the Johnny Carson Show someday.
Speaker 2: She had never thought about doing stand up, she had
Speaker 2: never thought about being a comedian, she had never thought
Speaker 2: about being an actress or anything. She was just like,
Speaker 2: I'm one hundred percent gonna say this on the Johnny
Speaker 2: Carson Show someday. Six years later, she does that exact
Speaker 2: joke on the Johnny Carson Show, and she goes, and
Speaker 2: I'm gonna in this moment while she's on her mattress
Speaker 2: writing this poem, she's like, and I'm gonna be the
Speaker 2: first woman ever that's asked over to his couch after God.
Speaker 2: And it happens right She's finishes are finished. That's the thing.
Speaker 2: I paused the show and I was like, Chris, this
Speaker 2: is what I'm talking about, this manifestation. If you just believe,
Speaker 2: it's so hard, like it doesn't matter, it will happen.
Speaker 2: And he was like, well, this is also like information bias,
Speaker 2: I guess, or what confirmation bias, where it's like we
Speaker 2: only hear the good stories of when this happens. We
Speaker 2: never hear the people of like saying I was gonna
Speaker 2: be on Jenny Kerson, but I never made it. You know,
Speaker 2: we only hear the stuff that goes well. And she
Speaker 2: could have changed the story to fit to make it better.
Speaker 2: I buy it because the more I've been looking into this,
Speaker 2: it's just you know, I've talked about it before, but
Speaker 2: it's like it's there's science behind it. It's like there's
Speaker 2: if quantum physics is about, like there's different realms happening.
Speaker 2: There's infinite realms happening where your life is going on
Speaker 2: in a different direction all the time, and if you
Speaker 2: visualize that version of your life, it will show up
Speaker 2: in your own Like it's if you give attention to
Speaker 2: what you want, that thing will show up, and it
Speaker 2: has to be done in a certain way.
Speaker 1: Like I'm reading all these instagram or.
Speaker 2: Sorry, subreddit's about uh law of attraction and these different
Speaker 2: men who have like, uh, you know, championed these different methods,
Speaker 2: and I'm listening to YouTube videos. I just don't know
Speaker 2: what's a manifest because I kind of have life. I
Speaker 2: keep kind of like I think right now, I'm manifesting
Speaker 2: having I like, well, I'm just gonna say it, like,
Speaker 2: I have an award winning special coming out that's an
Speaker 2: Emmy Award winning and it's and Taylor Swift wrote me
Speaker 2: about it and said that she really enjoyed it. She
Speaker 2: wrote me a personal note. And I don't want to
Speaker 2: share the details of it because it was personal and
Speaker 2: I feel like it's going to kick off our friendship.
Speaker 2: But she wrote me a personal note about how much
Speaker 2: she enjoyed it. She liked the shout out and uh yeah,
Speaker 2: and and and I'm up for an Emmy and I
Speaker 2: I just want it.
Speaker 1: That's so weird.
Speaker 2: And so after winning that Emmy, I just feel like
Speaker 2: my life is just kind of going in the direction
Speaker 2: I always wanted it to go. And I have this.
Speaker 2: I'm just like my career is just like where I
Speaker 2: want it to be. I I'm really my body has
Speaker 2: changed because of plots. I enjoy ploates so much. It's
Speaker 2: just become a practice that I don't even need to like, is.
Speaker 1: This is this?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: This is I? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I yeah? And I'm I'm my niece's favorite aunt.
Speaker 1: Oh you Poppy?
Speaker 2: Poppy has to say that I'm her favorite.
Speaker 1: That's not even I heard.
Speaker 2: She's been asking about me.
Speaker 1: Oh is Nikki? Where's Nikki?
Speaker 3: Really?
Speaker 1: Hear it too? Is Nikki? Why aren't you telling me
Speaker 1: about this?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: That's all I want to achieve in life? Is Poppy
Speaker 1: haunting me?
Speaker 2: I don't even care about for some reason?
Speaker 1: The girls?
Speaker 4: The girl relative way do you see her in her
Speaker 4: little brace that.
Speaker 1: I know she broke her clavical.
Speaker 2: What I know she save her brother's shoulders and she
Speaker 2: broke her claviical and she's so cute in her little
Speaker 2: cast I haven't seen her yet.
Speaker 1: She did her little sling.
Speaker 4: We went to the playground, which probably wasn't a good idea,
Speaker 4: but she's just like she knows how to work it,
Speaker 4: like to go down the slide on one side.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's making new she's pretty good.
Speaker 4: Back to her asking about me what she did ask
Speaker 4: about you, I mean she's like, is Nikki gonna be there?
Speaker 1: Or this is cool? This is good? Oh she wanted Halloween.
Speaker 1: I found there was a turning point.
Speaker 2: She just started looking at me like when I wasn't
Speaker 2: looking at her, almost like she has like a like
Speaker 2: the way when you know a guy has a crush
Speaker 2: on you, where you just like can check, you can
Speaker 2: just feel their stare where they're just kind of like
Speaker 2: studying your face, like I think I love her where
Speaker 2: you're just like it hasn't happened to me in a while, right,
Speaker 2: But like there was just a vibe with Poppy where
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, she's like very interested in what's going
Speaker 2: on with me now. And it's like I even took
Speaker 2: dat aside. I was like, I think something's turned with Poppy,
Speaker 2: Like she's very into what I like. I think I
Speaker 2: think she's she'sry she'll be your girls all I want.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, she'll be your girl.
Speaker 2: Well my mom, Well well I was gonna say about
Speaker 2: this law of attraction thing. So that's what I'm manifesting.
Speaker 2: And if you the thing is, if you have trouble
Speaker 2: figuring out what to manifest, which is a hard thing
Speaker 2: for people you're supposed to say.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be nice if ye fill in.
Speaker 3: The black good thing to do? And it's nice not
Speaker 3: like the low key multiverse Marvel version of the why
Speaker 3: it works. But also if you just start thinking about
Speaker 3: that thing and believing is true, it instills you with
Speaker 3: the confidence and starts planting the seed that will give
Speaker 3: you the plan and the confidence and the thoughts to
Speaker 3: go actually do it.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's true.
Speaker 2: I saw Instagram with Reese Witherspoon the other day where
Speaker 2: she was talking about, like, I just am confident all
Speaker 2: the time. I walk into auditions that I knew that
Speaker 2: I wasn't maybe right for, but I would just walk
Speaker 2: in and act like, oh, I already have the part.
Speaker 2: I mean, we've all heard this kind of thing before,
Speaker 2: just like actually as if. But you can tell that's
Speaker 2: like she's very confident. She is so confident I mean,
Speaker 2: have you heard her?
Speaker 1: What is the fine line of manifesting versus lying yourself
Speaker 1: or luckiness?
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not lying to yourself because if you
Speaker 2: believe it, like it's just there's just no it's it's
Speaker 2: I guess it.
Speaker 1: It's not.
Speaker 2: I can't say it's lying to yourself because then that
Speaker 2: negates the whole thing.
Speaker 1: It's not. It's just knowing it's gonna happen. There's no
Speaker 1: lying to yourself.
Speaker 2: And if you have that question in your head of like,
Speaker 2: this is me lying to myself, it ain't gonna work,
Speaker 2: Like you gotta be.
Speaker 3: Go ahead and lie to yourself, Like who gives a
Speaker 3: shit if you're lying yourself? Like totally, If you if
Speaker 3: it makes you feel better that you believe in Jesus
Speaker 3: and you're really religious and that just gives you low
Speaker 3: anxiety and makes you feel good, then even though maybe
Speaker 3: it's a lie, like go ahead and do that. It's
Speaker 3: like anything that makes you feel better.
Speaker 2: People lie to themselves all the time about stuff to
Speaker 2: get through life.
Speaker 3: Unless you're like hitting your you know your wife, and
Speaker 3: you're lying yourself that you don't hit your wife. But
Speaker 3: if it's not, if you tell you that one. But
Speaker 3: if it's not affecting anybody, then like, go ahead and
Speaker 3: lie to yourself, not wrongly.
Speaker 2: It's my I Actually today I'm gonna have a call
Speaker 2: with my friend because I saw on the on the
Speaker 2: Law of Attraction subreddit it said start involving other people
Speaker 2: in your manifestations. So find a friend who also wants
Speaker 2: to manifest something and then you have a call congratulating
Speaker 2: each other about the thing and acts like it's already happened.
Speaker 2: So my friend and kirst and I are going to
Speaker 2: have a call later tonight at six pm where we
Speaker 2: both talk about the thing that we already both want
Speaker 2: got And I said, here's what you're supposed to congratulate
Speaker 2: me on. Here's what I'll congratulate you on. And we're
Speaker 2: going to have a full conversation as if it happened.
Speaker 2: And there's no question, there's no like, oh this is
Speaker 2: weird we're doing this. It's just is what it is.
Speaker 1: I cannot wait.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So that's what that's the plan. I'm gonna manifest that.
Speaker 2: We're going to have one of the best episodes ever
Speaker 2: coming back after this. All right, all right, we're back mom.
Speaker 2: Yesterday's podcast with Kathy Griffin. Are you still so excited
Speaker 2: that we've got to talk to her?
Speaker 4: Well, she said, I'm her girl. I think basically she did. Yeah,
Speaker 4: she was. She was starting with you, Julie. She was
Speaker 4: kind of flirting with me, she really was. How many
Speaker 4: times did she say, now.
Speaker 1: Julie, I know I love I love her. No, she's
Speaker 1: really good. Yeah, she's good, she's good.
Speaker 3: That was a great episode. She had a lot to say.
Speaker 3: She I mean, it was really interesting to hear her
Speaker 3: perspective on what's happened to her. I didn't know any
Speaker 3: of that stuff that happened to her outside of the photo,
Speaker 3: and so I didn't even know she had lung cancer.
Speaker 3: So to share her story like that, and I have
Speaker 3: a prediction. I don't want to manifest on her behalf,
Speaker 3: but my prediction is that she goes out on tour,
Speaker 3: she starts working this new hour, and then the comeback
Speaker 3: is on. She's going to do an hour special that's
Speaker 3: going to be on some channel or streamer, and people
Speaker 3: are going to be like, I didn't know any of
Speaker 3: this about her story and then boom, she's back.
Speaker 1: Yep, that's you're so right.
Speaker 2: That's that's what I meant by saying like people just
Speaker 2: need to media needs to get on board, like people
Speaker 2: need to be confronted with her story again. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: then they'll forgive, they'll forget about it, and everyone loves
Speaker 2: a comeback, No guess it takes six years though sometimes
Speaker 2: that's the shitty part. And during those six years, can
Speaker 2: you imagine having that many people hate you? Like I
Speaker 2: it wouldn't take a vicodin addiction to kill myself.
Speaker 1: It would take nothing.
Speaker 2: It would take that much online hate to want to
Speaker 2: kill myself, Like, I don't think I would survive that.
Speaker 4: Now, she's got many so brave and so strong. I
Speaker 4: mean we didn't even hear. I know more about her
Speaker 4: life than just what she told us. She's been through
Speaker 4: a lot, Yes, she has been through and she comes back.
Speaker 2: She lost both of her brother and sister to cancer.
Speaker 2: She has one brother who is estranged, who was fucked
Speaker 2: with her when she was little, right, she had obviously
Speaker 2: like she lost both her parents within the past. She
Speaker 2: lost her dad I think in ninety or maybe early
Speaker 2: in two thousand and nine or something, her mom in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty.
Speaker 4: And her mom lived with her for a while. And yeah,
Speaker 4: she's been she's been through she's.
Speaker 2: Divorced, she had a guy steal a bunch of fucking
Speaker 2: money from her. Yeah, she's and she's someone like, let's
Speaker 2: be honest, like Brian, you know, like as a comedian,
Speaker 2: people don't like people are quick to say I don't
Speaker 2: oh like roll their eyes about her, like they dismiss her.
Speaker 3: Uh oh, you know. People love to hate a woman.
Speaker 3: I think that's what it comes down to. If you
Speaker 3: have that many excuses to hate a woman, then they'll
Speaker 3: take them.
Speaker 1: Oh for sure, I'm glad you say that.
Speaker 2: It's like, it's hard for me to say that because
Speaker 2: as a woman, it's easy for me to say. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it has something to do with that. But yeah,
Speaker 2: she's and just such an outspoken one.
Speaker 1: Well, I've been so proud of her.
Speaker 4: And when she did what that photo, who gives us shit?
Speaker 2: Well, she was making fun if you know, she was
Speaker 2: making fun of the fact that he said he was
Speaker 2: talking about Megan Kelly and now she when she was
Speaker 2: moderating the debates, she had blood coming out of everywhere
Speaker 2: her eyes and her like, he was talking about Megan
Speaker 2: Kelly possibly being on her period, right, and so he
Speaker 2: was making he had a quote about she had blood
Speaker 2: coming out of her mouth, out of.
Speaker 4: Her eyes, her everywhere. That wasn't megane Kelly. That was
Speaker 4: the girl from Joe Morning Joe. Oh, okay, whoever that was?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Uh yeah, So he was making fun of that woman.
Speaker 2: Yeah sorry, and then oh yeah, he'd never say that
Speaker 2: about making count when even when I said that, I go,
Speaker 2: why would you say that about her?
Speaker 1: So she was doing a nod to that.
Speaker 2: She was like, okay, well we'll make blood coming out
Speaker 2: of all of his stuff and then you can't buy
Speaker 2: a whole body of him. So the mask made it
Speaker 2: look like a decapitated thing.
Speaker 1: So did she stand up for herself?
Speaker 2: She did, but she advice initially was to apologize, because
Speaker 2: that's everyone's are all pr agents always say apologize, And
Speaker 2: it's the worst thing you can do is apologize because
Speaker 2: everyone no, you can't. You know, I'll apologize for hurting
Speaker 2: people's feelings, but I won't. I'll just be like I
Speaker 2: thought it was funny, I fucked up, but like it's yeah,
Speaker 2: it's not good to apologize.
Speaker 3: The shark circle the wolf circle, and I go, oh,
Speaker 3: she knows that she's that faulty, so now we're going
Speaker 3: to destroy her whereas if you.
Speaker 2: Because what you know what, that encourages people to not apologize,
Speaker 2: which is a great thing when people apologize and a.
Speaker 6: Committed Yeah it's weak, but well what about I mean
Speaker 6: I was more shocked when we were talking about celebrities
Speaker 6: and the story that she said about the Jay Leno
Speaker 6: Show and a certain pop star.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was terrified if I had to encounter someone
Speaker 2: that I had talked shit about. I think there was
Speaker 2: one shocked there was someone recently that I can't like
Speaker 2: I was gonna be on the same thing as that.
Speaker 2: I was like, I wonder if they saw me say
Speaker 2: that thing on a special about them or like, uh,
Speaker 2: it's yeah, I'm I like that. She's just like went
Speaker 2: up to j Lo and was like I want to
Speaker 2: pick Like, let's get a picture where you're mad at me,
Speaker 2: like because you know I'm said things about you like
Speaker 2: she's just.
Speaker 1: Like brazen and braz ambrazen and great. I love that
Speaker 1: about her.
Speaker 4: But God, the way she used to make fun of
Speaker 4: the Cardiaschians and uh huh I was great.
Speaker 1: I was like, somebody's gonna that's what we mean. I
Speaker 1: miss I missed that. I miss just like comedians just
Speaker 1: ripping people apart and just making social commentary. Joan Rivers
Speaker 1: did it too.
Speaker 2: Yes, no one was again no, but people didn't like
Speaker 2: Joan Rivers either until she died.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: It's like it's the people that with taste did, but
Speaker 2: Joan Rivers is only lauded as like a legend after
Speaker 2: her death, after that documentary, Like it had to take
Speaker 2: people to be like, here's an artful documentary to prove
Speaker 2: how hard she's worked. But before that, it was kind
Speaker 2: of like I think the consensus was, like her voice
Speaker 2: is annoying, get her off e, she's always she's She
Speaker 2: got canceled a couple times because she said just she's
Speaker 2: making just jokes and it just went the wrong way.
Speaker 2: Like there's so many times I've said jokes and people
Speaker 2: just go, you know, when I did the view and
Speaker 2: Kelly Rowland got upset because she was just like ew,
Speaker 2: like did you just say something that is just an
Speaker 2: innocuous joke? And people just go like, would.
Speaker 1: Her side too? Because she said aw.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then everyone's like suddenly like, well, yeah, well
Speaker 2: she's more famous than that girl, so we're gonna be
Speaker 2: on her side.
Speaker 1: Except Rosio Donald did it.
Speaker 2: Rosio Donald took my side and I was like, I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: that was fucking funny, and then she cussed, and she
Speaker 2: said it was the first time she's ever cussed on
Speaker 2: the view of doing daytime TV for twenty years. She says,
Speaker 2: its first some shavercover. I know what it's told that before,
Speaker 2: but it's just one of my love predest moments. But
Speaker 2: but yeah, it's it's just like this. I'm just struggling
Speaker 2: with the.
Speaker 3: The the reaction to any joke is repulsive to me.
Speaker 1: It is.
Speaker 3: It is, yes, like that, it's a joke like you're
Speaker 3: you getting disgusted at it is your problem?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And my joke was that I'll tell it again.
Speaker 1: It was it was so stupid.
Speaker 2: It was we were just backstage getting briefed on what
Speaker 2: we were going to talk about on the show. Rosiodonnald
Speaker 2: was showing pictures of her kids in the bath the
Speaker 2: night before because they had put all these like they
Speaker 2: had these like, I don't know, bath bombs that would
Speaker 2: make the color like the water a purple or pink
Speaker 2: or whatever. And I said, oh, I had that as
Speaker 2: a kid, but it was always just yellow. And I
Speaker 2: did it myself. And she just goes ew, and I
Speaker 2: was like, it's just a fucking joke about me peeing
Speaker 2: in the bath, like it doesn't and it just just
Speaker 2: sucking all the I thought of it. Brian, You're right
Speaker 2: about the great joke. It's just like it doesn't deserve
Speaker 2: an ow though, and like, let's all alienate this girl
Speaker 2: on this show where I I've been a regular before,
Speaker 2: I know my way around, but this girl's new.
Speaker 1: So let's say like, you're just no, You're no fun.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's an insult to go oh, it's like,
Speaker 4: you know, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3: Yeah, judge.
Speaker 2: You know what on the next Money Players like special
Speaker 2: uh Big Play, Dion Players, Diamond Club, I'm gonna tell
Speaker 2: Stor another story about that person that.
Speaker 1: I guess that is that is the exact story.
Speaker 2: I actually cross paths with that person again recently, and
Speaker 2: I've been vocal about my like that I think she's
Speaker 2: not a nice person before and so I was nervous
Speaker 2: to cross paths with her. And so I have a
Speaker 2: story that's I'm gonna tell them the Diamond Players thing
Speaker 2: because I don't want it to get back to her.
Speaker 2: That's gonna be come behind a paywall, so uh, stay
Speaker 2: tuned for that.
Speaker 3: That's exactly how I feel about Kim Jong Un. If
Speaker 3: I'm ever on a tonight show him awkward.
Speaker 4: It is, I always it could be dangerous for you too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly it's Yeah. I just that's why I'm scared
Speaker 2: to like ever see Taylor Swift. Even though you know
Speaker 2: she did love my special, that just is it coming.
Speaker 3: Out she did?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 4: She did?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah that was wild.
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's I would have been I wouldn't
Speaker 2: have predicted it, but I did manifest it.
Speaker 1: It did happen. But yeah, even with her, I'm scared.
Speaker 2: I've said so much and obviously something I've said before
Speaker 2: has come back to.
Speaker 1: She doesn't care. Yeah, she's forgiven me. She she gets that.
Speaker 2: It all comes from a place of ups of love,
Speaker 2: right and just loving my girl. I love and that's
Speaker 2: why I really do believe, like obviously we're gonna we're
Speaker 2: best friends. I'm manifesting this Taylor and I'm in I'm
Speaker 2: in the zone you are going to be. I love
Speaker 2: her so much. We're so happy for our girl finding Travis. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but is Taylor's one of Taylor's best friends and she
Speaker 2: is just as big of a swifty as I am
Speaker 2: like just as obsessed, knows all the words, is just
Speaker 2: as so. I think that, you know, me and Gigi
Speaker 2: really get along in that sense when we all hang out. Well,
Speaker 2: you guys have discussed that we are like almost like
Speaker 2: too fanatical to be her friend, but we're like, it's cool,
Speaker 2: she lets us be her friends. It's nice.
Speaker 3: Did you have this Do you know Joe Parra the comedian. Yes,
Speaker 3: So he's got a tour out right now and he's
Speaker 3: calling the tour the Para's tour and it's a lower
Speaker 3: case P and then capital e r a s.
Speaker 2: That's so smart, that's really good.
Speaker 3: And then also in Taylor Swift News sort of. So
Speaker 3: last night in Monday Night football was the Eagles versus
Speaker 3: the Chiefs. That was Travis Kelcey versus Jason Kelcey, like the.
Speaker 2: Brother the Brothers Blitz or something, the Brothers football players.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, both Travis.
Speaker 3: And Kelsey is alignment on the Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl
Speaker 3: lineman and Travis Kelcey is a tight end on the
Speaker 3: Chiefs Pro Bowl tight end and they played against each
Speaker 3: other in the Super Bowl last year Chiefs won. Last
Speaker 3: night was a rematch of the Super Bowl Eagles versus
Speaker 3: Chiefs Eagles one. But interestingly in the news is that
Speaker 3: in that game, Travis Kelsey had a very important fumble
Speaker 3: in the red zone and it basically was the reason
Speaker 3: why the Chiefs lost the game, devastating. Taylor wasn't there.
Speaker 3: He has not lost when Taylor was Taylor.
Speaker 2: Yes, we're now starting to build the association. She's going
Speaker 2: to be expected at the games.
Speaker 3: But also Travis, in an interview or maybe on his podcast,
Speaker 3: start talking about how he's in a lot of pain
Speaker 3: all the time from all of his injuries. He's had
Speaker 3: ten surgeries and he's thinking that maybe this may be
Speaker 3: his last season. Now whether that's he's going to follow
Speaker 3: through on that or not, but he's saying he might
Speaker 3: retire soon, which is interesting because he was not saying
Speaker 3: that last year.
Speaker 2: Leading to my prediction, what's your part if I've said
Speaker 2: it yet, but I have.
Speaker 1: I have a prediction for how it's all going.
Speaker 3: To play out.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, can you say.
Speaker 2: Taylor will be pregnant. Taylor will announce your pregnancy. This
Speaker 2: is my prediction. Taylor will be And believe me, I
Speaker 2: don't want this to happen because the second she gets pregnant.
Speaker 1: Our roads diverge. And I met a bestie last night.
Speaker 2: At my show at the Funny Bone, and she said
Speaker 2: to me, oh my god, when you were freezing your eggs.
Speaker 2: I was just like, no, because I'm not going to
Speaker 2: relate to you anymore if.
Speaker 1: You do that. And I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: that's the way I feel about Taylor.
Speaker 2: So shout out to Sarah who I met last night.
Speaker 2: She and I feel the same way about Taylor, like
Speaker 2: because she's a swifty too. I signed her Taylor Swift
Speaker 2: shirt actually, and she was like, I go, our girl's
Speaker 2: going to get pregnant. You know it though, Like we're
Speaker 2: going to lose her. And it's okay, how because I
Speaker 2: want her to have everything she wants in life. She's
Speaker 2: thirty three, so she will. She will announce the pregnancy.
Speaker 2: I believe I'm predicting early twenty twenty five swearing.
Speaker 1: Are you predicting, you're manifesting? No, I predict Sure.
Speaker 2: This is prediction because I'm saying I will. Otherwise i'd
Speaker 2: say it's it's happened. Wait, okay, I don't know. I
Speaker 2: haven't studied it enough. If people have studied laws of traction,
Speaker 2: please let me know of any more speciens.
Speaker 1: You're saying in twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she is going to finish her eras toort in
Speaker 2: November twenty twenty four. That time gives her time her
Speaker 2: body to relax. There will be let me just change it. Actually,
Speaker 2: she needs a little time to relax, to recoup. There
Speaker 2: will be an engagement in the spring of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: There will be an announcement of a birth in the
Speaker 2: summer of twenty twenty five. There will be a wedding
Speaker 2: when she is pregnant. It's the new thing she's going.
Speaker 2: She's going the other way. I don't think there'll be
Speaker 2: a wedding first. I think they'll be a baby first.
Speaker 2: I think Taylor does her own thing. I don't know why.
Speaker 2: I just I think that that's the way it's gonna happen.
Speaker 2: They'll get married, She'll be fully pregnant. This is gonna
Speaker 2: happen sometime in the late summer fall. She will give
Speaker 2: birth in the winter arey in twenty thinking December, because
Speaker 2: I think she probably wants a baby around the same
Speaker 2: time as her So this is.
Speaker 1: December twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: She will give birth to her first baby, and then
Speaker 2: she will have another baby with him by twenty twenty
Speaker 2: late twenty twenty six, she will announce again twenty twenty seven,
Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight. There'll be two or three kids. There
Speaker 2: will be a divorce at some point. Now, this is
Speaker 2: not something I wish on her. It's not something I'm manifesting.
Speaker 2: This is just she will have a successful ten She
Speaker 2: will have a successful six to ten year relationship with
Speaker 2: Travis Kelsey. That's okay, that's a successful relationship. That's no judgment.
Speaker 2: Just because something doesn't last forever doesn't mean it's not good.
Speaker 2: I think that is a great long haul she but
Speaker 2: I want her out there again. I want her to
Speaker 2: find other love. I want her to do it all
Speaker 2: over again. She will date Harry's styles again. It'll come
Speaker 2: back around old again. In their forties, they will get married.
Speaker 2: They will and I do Belie leave. She will end
Speaker 2: up with Harry's house. They will divorce. She will keep
Speaker 2: this going. This is what I wish for myself. In
Speaker 2: a lot of ways.
Speaker 1: I like this.
Speaker 2: You just keep going. Everything doesn't have to last till
Speaker 2: you die. We live way too long for that. You
Speaker 2: gotta keep She might get back with Travis. There'll be
Speaker 2: a second marriage after Harry. These are my predictions. I
Speaker 2: just based on the song Suburban Legends, which I believe
Speaker 2: is about Harry, as are the Vultraks in nineteen eighty nine.
Speaker 2: Most of them are about Harry Suburban Legends. I believe
Speaker 2: that she's talking about it's she's talking about her high
Speaker 2: school reunion. That she has a fantasy of walking hand
Speaker 2: in hand with him together at their high school reunion
Speaker 2: after they've already been together and broken up. She's meaning
Speaker 2: the Grammys. That's her high school reunion.
Speaker 1: She sees it.
Speaker 2: Someday they're gonna walk back in together. Do I want
Speaker 2: her and Travis last forever? Yes, I'm not saying anything bad.
Speaker 2: And by the way, none of this means anything. It's
Speaker 2: I wish my best friend's divorce. I think it's a
Speaker 2: great thing that relationships ebb and flow and you get out.
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think divorce is a failure.
Speaker 2: So when I say that, I'm not speaking from a
Speaker 2: place if I want her to be in pain, I
Speaker 2: want her. I just want her to be in love
Speaker 2: again and write about it. So that's just my and
Speaker 2: I think it's very hard to stay in a relationship
Speaker 2: with your celebrity forever, unless you're Goldie Hawn and Russell Brand,
Speaker 2: what Crow whatever, they're not even married, and they're not
Speaker 2: even married. She might not even you're married. But I
Speaker 2: look forward to going to all the weddings.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you guys will be best friends.
Speaker 4: M h.
Speaker 1: Not after she heard that.
Speaker 2: If I hope, Taylor, if you heard that, you would
Speaker 2: not offend it. I really, I'm totally actually like joking
Speaker 2: about all of this. I honestly hope. I think.
Speaker 1: I think Travis is your end game.
Speaker 2: And I mean that by the song, and because when
Speaker 2: she did sing Endgame as one of her secret songs
Speaker 2: in a recent concert, there was a glimmer in her eye.
Speaker 1: That we haven't seen before and and the way she
Speaker 1: ran to him.
Speaker 2: We didn't talk about it last week, and Bessie's were
Speaker 2: dying for me to address it, but that run to him.
Speaker 1: Where was this was in?
Speaker 2: It wasn't Rio, it was whatever city she was in
Speaker 2: before Rio in her South American tour. She gots off
Speaker 2: stage and he's waiting outside this like curtained area, and
Speaker 2: she runs off stage and like as soon as she
Speaker 2: sees him she starts running and then runs into his arms.
Speaker 2: He twirls her around, they kiss, and then she they
Speaker 2: put her their arms around each other and they went
Speaker 2: into a tent. Thank you for giving us that moment,
Speaker 2: because you know what, they could have done it behind
Speaker 2: a curtain. They could have just waited till they got
Speaker 2: in there. But they gave everyone that moment because we
Speaker 2: everything was one of the best days for girls and
Speaker 2: gay men was that day that we all got to
Speaker 2: share in them hugging and kissing. It was like the
Speaker 2: end of a rom com scene. It was a beautiful
Speaker 2: They swirled around. She gave us that moment, and people go,
Speaker 2: it's a pr relationship, you know it can be. It's
Speaker 2: not pr necessarily to just give your fans what they want,
Speaker 2: and they want to see you happy in love. We
Speaker 2: all love to see that kind of affection. I thought
Speaker 2: it was a beautiful moment and I'm really glad, Thank
Speaker 2: you Taylor, Thank you Travis for not keeping that behind
Speaker 2: closed doors.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's great.
Speaker 2: I really thought it was like we we fucking collectively
Speaker 2: as swifties freaked out when she did that, and it
Speaker 2: was the same show when she said, you know, she
Speaker 2: goes Karma is my boyfriend, you know that song, and
Speaker 2: she goes, Usually she was used to be talking about
Speaker 2: Joe in the song, her ex boyfriend in that song,
Speaker 2: and she was like, Karma is the guy on the
Speaker 2: screen coming straight home to me. And it used to
Speaker 2: be Joe is the guy on the screen, he's in
Speaker 2: the movies. But at that show, she goes, Karma is
Speaker 2: the guy on the Chiefs coming straight home too, And
Speaker 2: he didn't know, and he was like, so excited.
Speaker 1: I heard that. Yeah, and I just love that.
Speaker 2: They're like he's on his podcast talking about her, like
Speaker 2: she's just a normal gal.
Speaker 1: She's getting talked about on podcasts, Like I.
Speaker 2: Really love it.
Speaker 1: I'm happy for him.
Speaker 2: Really, I've never been happier for anyone in my life,
Speaker 2: I don't think. And no one deserves it more than
Speaker 2: that girl. She worked so hard. She yesterday she broke
Speaker 2: her heel in Rio and she's going through a tough time.
Speaker 1: At the Rio show.
Speaker 2: A girl died at her show. Yeah, horribly, Yeah, girl died.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 2: They had one hundred and forty degree temperatures inside the
Speaker 2: dam stadium because they shut Yeah, there was heated Joshua
Speaker 2: and this girl passed out and died from complications from
Speaker 2: it during Cruel Summer.
Speaker 3: So like at the Oh God.
Speaker 2: She second show of the thing, she passed out dies
Speaker 2: and and so they canceled the second night show. People
Speaker 2: were dying for water. It's one hundred and forty degrees
Speaker 2: because they shut the vents because they didn't want people
Speaker 2: outside of the arena watching or hearing. So they shut
Speaker 2: the best and they were charging eighteen dollars for a
Speaker 2: water bottle, and they wouldn't let people bring in outside water.
Speaker 1: So it was I heard there's a new rule.
Speaker 4: One thousand people fainted a thousand. That's one in seventy people.
Speaker 4: Do you remember their water bottle issue. We would go
Speaker 4: to the you have to buy a water then they
Speaker 4: hand you a cup and you have to pour your
Speaker 4: water bottle.
Speaker 2: You can't because water bottles are good a throw like
Speaker 2: they you know, with a cap on it, it kind of
Speaker 2: zips through the air and you could throw it at
Speaker 2: we and you know, just a big, a big plastic
Speaker 2: cup is hard harder to hurl because it would get
Speaker 2: caught in the air. And so yeah, and oh God,
Speaker 2: so and Taylor did in a previous show, I think
Speaker 2: the night before the Girl died, say like, hey, will
Speaker 2: you guys not throw things on stage? It really scares me,
Speaker 2: and so she like had to tell them, so I
Speaker 2: think they were it was, but you know, it's just
Speaker 2: been rough and Taylor I get like.
Speaker 1: Emotional thinking about it.
Speaker 2: But then so she canceled the Saturday show because it
Speaker 2: was still horrible temperatures.
Speaker 1: The girl died on the Friday show.
Speaker 2: On Sunday night, she did the next set of you
Speaker 2: Know the Next Rio Show to make up for the
Speaker 2: Saturday and during her secret song, she played this song
Speaker 2: Bigger than the Whole Sky, and it's like she definitely
Speaker 2: She also put out a statement prior to this, after
Speaker 2: Anna's death where she said, I am so heartbroken about
Speaker 2: this death. I can't talk about it on stage because
Speaker 2: I get too emotional. Just please know that I'm thinking
Speaker 2: about it, like it was just this. Anya told me
Speaker 2: this weekend she was like I read that statement and
Speaker 2: I was jealous of her empathy, like she just seems
Speaker 2: she was like I just never cared about like anything
Speaker 2: that much. And Taylor's just you can just tell Taylor's
Speaker 2: just like this. She's a really sweet, bleeding heart like girl.
Speaker 2: If and so she sang this song Bigger than the
Speaker 2: Whole Sky and like, and the lyrics are like, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
Speaker 1: You were bigger than the whole sky, you were more
Speaker 1: than just a short time. I've got a lot to
Speaker 1: pine about. I've got a lot to figure out.
Speaker 2: I'm never gone to meet what could have been, would
Speaker 2: have been, what should have been?
Speaker 4: You.
Speaker 2: Gives me chills thinking about it. But like the whole
Speaker 2: audience like knew it was for her. And it's like
Speaker 2: this really really sad song about you know, we initially
Speaker 2: thought it was maybe about a miscarriage, but it's really
Speaker 2: about like it's just about death, and it's just like
Speaker 2: about someone dying too young, probably because I'm never gonna
Speaker 2: meet what could have been, should have been, what would
Speaker 2: have been you? And and so she that was her
Speaker 2: like tribute, and she got emotional during it. And then
Speaker 2: last night at the show, she broke her heel, right
Speaker 2: and this is this is what I love is watching
Speaker 2: this clip of her breaking her heel and it's right
Speaker 2: away like she broke it, I think during her performance
Speaker 2: of The Man. So she's in the same outfit for
Speaker 2: the opening, which is Miss Americana, which is you know,
Speaker 2: a verse and a chorus, and then she goes right
Speaker 2: into Cruel Summer, which is the whole song, and then
Speaker 2: she goes into The Man, which is the whole song.
Speaker 2: And then you need to calm down. She's in these
Speaker 2: amazing boots, Lubaton boots, and the heel fucking snapped off
Speaker 2: right in the middle of the Man, because at some
Speaker 2: point in the Man you could see that it's off.
Speaker 2: And then she goes on to do Lover, which she's
Speaker 2: just standing for with her guitar at the microphone, and like,
Speaker 2: I guess you would have told me this happened. I
Speaker 2: would have been like, oh, She'll say something about it
Speaker 2: and be like, well, my heel broke and the show's
Speaker 2: still going on. This bitch. She did not even address it.
Speaker 2: She just points that toe acts like it's still there.
Speaker 2: Because you know what Taylor has in mind a lesser performer,
Speaker 2: I e. Me thinking about what I would do in
Speaker 2: that scenario. I would call it out because I go
Speaker 2: everyone's gonna see this. Taylor knows most of the crowd
Speaker 2: does not see that her heel is split. And this
Speaker 2: is like a thing that think people. People constantly think,
Speaker 2: you know when you go out and you like I
Speaker 2: have a sigh in my eye. I know it like
Speaker 2: you like get to it before other people can get
Speaker 2: to it, and people go, I would never even notice
Speaker 2: if unless you told me. Taylor's smart enough to know
Speaker 2: I don't need to ruin this moment and make this
Speaker 2: about my broken heel. It's not a thing. Just act
Speaker 2: like it's there, manifest that heel. So it's really cool
Speaker 2: to watch her play lover because she's just pointing that
Speaker 2: toe and it's as if it's there, you're just not there.
Speaker 4: Yes, hard Wait did the heel actually just pop off.
Speaker 2: The whole heel and it's like a four inch her
Speaker 2: toe is if she has a four inch heel on
Speaker 2: it and you can't tell it all and she's walking
Speaker 2: around and she's just walking on a pointed toe like
Speaker 2: like Barbie you know her. It's just that little detail.
Speaker 2: I go, wow, that is That's That's how proche she is.
Speaker 2: She doesn't anyone else would have been fine, and she
Speaker 2: done and funny. I think a less her on a
Speaker 2: different tour would have called it out because that's but
Speaker 2: she is just.
Speaker 1: Now she stops for queen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's just like she's just the best performer going.
Speaker 2: I'm just like such obviously such a fan. So that's
Speaker 2: my home on Taylor TI Ride. We got to go
Speaker 2: to break but I want, well we get back. I
Speaker 2: want to hear about this is my first time seeing
Speaker 2: you in a really long time.
Speaker 1: I know, mother, have you missed?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's too long. We're gonna talk about your Paris vacation,
Speaker 2: your European vacation, that you're back all right after this,
Speaker 2: we're back my mom. Brian noah, earl here, Mom. You
Speaker 2: just got back from Paris and Amsterdam.
Speaker 1: Is there two places?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes, excuse me?
Speaker 2: Did you go anywhere else?
Speaker 4: No, actually we did go. We went to Paris for
Speaker 4: a couple of days and then we went to the countryside.
Speaker 1: That's what I thought.
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, yeah, h this little town. I can't even
Speaker 4: tell you the name of it. That's pretty bad. That's
Speaker 4: okay anyway, yeah, but we no, okay, no, it's this town.
Speaker 4: You would have net you won't even No one ever hurt,
Speaker 4: No one knows. But anyway, it's all, you know, like
Speaker 4: countryside and there's a lot of forest. And we went
Speaker 4: there because we were invited because of a woman we
Speaker 4: were with. So we went over for went to visit
Speaker 4: my sister. She rented an apartment over there for three months.
Speaker 4: She's still there, and she invited us for a week
Speaker 4: to stay at the apartment. To stay at the apartment.
Speaker 2: Was it's so nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty nice place.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what she was paying.
Speaker 1: Now I forget what she did.
Speaker 3: Tell me.
Speaker 1: I wasn't like shocked.
Speaker 4: Okay, you know, it might be in the country side
Speaker 4: in Paris, and uh, it was a beautiful apartment building but.
Speaker 1: So gorgeous, and they have.
Speaker 4: There's a name I forget the uh, the architect that
Speaker 4: they're all copied from. But they all have a facial front,
Speaker 4: and then they have a courtyard on the inside, so
Speaker 4: all the apartments circle this courtyard, so they all have
Speaker 4: lighting on all inside of their apartments and it's just
Speaker 4: a really interesting thing. Okay, anyway, I don't even know,
Speaker 4: but you can see in the other apartments. You feel
Speaker 4: like you basically can't get your window. Yeah, you just
Speaker 4: can't leave your windows open because people can see right now.
Speaker 4: But anyway, and this building is from eighteen hundreds, so
Speaker 4: it's old. But anyway, we stayed there for a couple
Speaker 4: of nights and then we went to the countryside. But
Speaker 4: the biggest thing we did was go on this, uh
Speaker 4: followed a hunt which was turned out to be really
Speaker 4: crazy that they actually chase let these hound dogs chase
Speaker 4: down a deer for miles and miles and hours and
Speaker 4: hours until it is itself down and then they killed
Speaker 4: the deer, which that hounds to.
Speaker 1: Did you watch that? Yeah? Kind of sell some and
Speaker 1: it was like like, why how do you do you
Speaker 1: something like that? Is it like in the arena or something.
Speaker 4: This is an historical thing that they've been doing for
Speaker 4: thousands of years. It's a castle these kids rape.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: They It was basically like, yeah, you can't watch that.
Speaker 2: Does this whole thing of like it's historical.
Speaker 1: I know it's weird.
Speaker 2: But when you guys told me that about this, I
Speaker 2: just assumed you wouldn't. Like I assumed you'd go to
Speaker 2: the country step, but I didn't assume you'd go on
Speaker 2: the hunt. Your stomach that well.
Speaker 4: I honestly I didn't know how it was going to end.
Speaker 4: I just said what I thought they called it. They
Speaker 4: corner the deer, and what normally happens is they the
Speaker 4: headhunter slits the throat of the deer. Oh that's better,
Speaker 4: better than being slowly attacked by hound dogs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess, well, was there a chance that the
Speaker 3: deer would get away? Or is there no chance? Like?
Speaker 4: No, he was Actually it took like three hours to
Speaker 4: corner this deer.
Speaker 2: Three hours.
Speaker 6: Yea.
Speaker 4: It was running back and forth. They're so smart they
Speaker 4: know they go get another deer and get these hounds
Speaker 4: on another deer, and so then they chase this other
Speaker 4: deer for a wal smart the deer. The deer are
Speaker 4: like they they figures out.
Speaker 2: Well, it's almost like they're an intelligent creature that shouldn't
Speaker 2: be killed for fing no reason.
Speaker 4: No, it is so we were like, uh shook up
Speaker 4: where you're like, oh my god, how did this?
Speaker 1: How does this happen? It's a big, big ceremony too.
Speaker 1: They are eating this has happened. I mean three hours.
Speaker 1: What are you doing now? Are you in the back
Speaker 1: of a chariot. I'm in the back of the jeep,
Speaker 1: Oh jeep, I'm in the back.
Speaker 4: Following following these country people with on horseback with uh
Speaker 4: they're dressed in regalia, like with coats and hats, and
Speaker 4: I mean there's a.
Speaker 1: Fucking bunch of dorks.
Speaker 4: I mean it looks like something out of no, no,
Speaker 4: I mean anyone. They I was filming the whole time,
Speaker 4: going wow, this is crazy, and so May came up
Speaker 4: and they go, you are not posting that, correct, And
Speaker 4: I'm like, why.
Speaker 1: Because they know it's inhumane what they're doing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it's gotta be I mean, And then I
Speaker 4: started looking it up, going, oh my god, I can't
Speaker 4: believe that.
Speaker 1: Probably they were very.
Speaker 4: Nervous about me posting this because it would you know,
Speaker 4: display exactly.
Speaker 2: Because what they're doing is like, I mean, eyes wide shut,
Speaker 2: like some weird like kind of cold.
Speaker 4: Kind Yeah, it's a weird thing, but it's like they've
Speaker 4: been doing it for thousands of years. But anyway, I
Speaker 4: was reading all about it and in the countryside there's
Speaker 4: all these castles and manor castles and they all have
Speaker 4: these hunts. Everybody has a hunt and it's a thing
Speaker 4: they do there. It's very you know, you have to
Speaker 4: be invited to these things. Oh so, no, one's really it's.
Speaker 3: Not for the you know, expect you to come on
Speaker 3: a podcast start gabbing about it.
Speaker 4: Now you're gonna start chasing you. It's not going to
Speaker 4: take three hours.
Speaker 2: To catch you.
Speaker 1: By the way, you guys can tire you out, that's anyway,
Speaker 1: that was crazy. And then we did you eat it? Now? Really? No,
Speaker 1: what did they do with it?
Speaker 4: They let the they skin it and they give they said,
Speaker 4: they bag it up and they give all the you know,
Speaker 4: the feeding parts to the peasants.
Speaker 1: There's still peasants, that's what they say. Does that just
Speaker 1: mean poor people?
Speaker 4: And well I don't hate that that poor part, but
Speaker 4: they chase it for three hours, can't isn't there better
Speaker 4: things to do with your time?
Speaker 1: No, it's really a crazy thing to watch. It's like.
Speaker 3: They just like watch succession instead.
Speaker 4: Yeah, now the morning show, I would recommend this is.
Speaker 1: Two thousand years of doing this on the countryside.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's just a weird No, lots that things are
Speaker 2: protected by it's tradition.
Speaker 3: It's tradition.
Speaker 1: It was always been done.
Speaker 4: It's slavery it right, but it's tradition. No, you have
Speaker 4: to respect it and like tiptoe around all their bullshit.
Speaker 1: Listen.
Speaker 4: I wasn't endorsing this. I was just like being like
Speaker 4: going wow at the end. And then there was there's
Speaker 4: a big huge party at the castle and at dinner
Speaker 4: and dancing and celebratory.
Speaker 1: Well, but then we went to Amsterdam.
Speaker 2: Final thought, Yeah, you walked through the red light district.
Speaker 2: Isn't that wild?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 2: I thought, walk in those alleys where the girls are
Speaker 2: just like tapping the glass and trying to get your attention.
Speaker 1: It's so nuts. We didn't walk it down an alley
Speaker 1: was the main drag.
Speaker 2: I mean like, but then you would cut off and
Speaker 2: I know that it's the main drag, but then you
Speaker 2: would cut down a little corridor and there's like they're
Speaker 2: right there and they're like it's like you're at the zoo.
Speaker 1: I was just in behind this glass. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was like looking at these girls and then it
Speaker 4: was like going kind of proud of them, like let's
Speaker 4: talk about that honestly, that they have the right to
Speaker 4: do whatever they want with their body if if they
Speaker 4: want no Listen, this is a tricky subject because I mean, well,
Speaker 4: they don't have to be behind this.
Speaker 1: Maybe they do.
Speaker 4: Maybe they're I don't know how pampsy the legal thing
Speaker 4: over there.
Speaker 2: Yes, so maybe they are collecting all the cash themselves.
Speaker 2: But there is oftentimes when it's presented like this woman
Speaker 2: is owning her own stuff and she's there's usually a
Speaker 2: man behind it collecting.
Speaker 4: Well, it didn't feel like nah, it felt doesn't feel
Speaker 4: that way. No, it felt like she was on there
Speaker 4: on her own. She wanted to be there.
Speaker 2: And there's some old ones, there's some unfortunate looking ones.
Speaker 2: There's like some you know.
Speaker 1: These girls all look pretty unfortunate, pretty good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just like oh yeah, because I say ugly, but
Speaker 2: like they there were some ugly girls.
Speaker 4: I feel bad that that's what they do to make
Speaker 4: money for them, but.
Speaker 2: I some of them enjoy it, yeah for sure, and
Speaker 2: some of them look at it like you know, I
Speaker 2: look at things people do and I go, I would
Speaker 2: never fucking want to do that all day. I'm trying
Speaker 2: to think of it like being being a trainer, Like
Speaker 2: I go to a trainer and I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: like I'm just another one of her clients, like all
Speaker 2: day she just has to be like hi, like with
Speaker 2: nine different people like hey, okay, and then I love that,
Speaker 2: but yes, I know, but I would hate that.
Speaker 1: Like I'm saying, like there are things.
Speaker 2: Sex can be something that it's just obviously it's it.
Speaker 2: It can be joyless, but you just like get through it.
Speaker 2: It's like any kind of job, so pressure.
Speaker 4: But I mean I felt like they were there on
Speaker 4: their own a cord.
Speaker 1: Yes, but yes, maybe I'm wrong. No, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't think you are.
Speaker 2: I think And that's just always the sensitive thing I have.
Speaker 2: I'm talking about peorn a lot in my stand up special.
Speaker 2: That's uh, I'm winning that Emmy four or I won
Speaker 2: that Emmy four and I'm talking about my Yeah, like, well,
Speaker 2: I've said that I like would like to There's a
Speaker 2: part of me that was like, oh, I could see
Speaker 2: to myself doing porn and you were like, you take
Speaker 2: that out of the reality show.
Speaker 1: I don't want people to knowing.
Speaker 2: He said that, because it's performative. That's what I like
Speaker 2: about it. It's like you're performing this thing and you're
Speaker 2: doing something that people go like, I could never do that.
Speaker 2: There's something that's really interesting about that to me. But
Speaker 2: it's usually I don't like that. It's met with like
Speaker 2: that's just you're disgusting, and I wouldn't do that because
Speaker 2: you're I'm disgusting. It's like, but you do do this
Speaker 2: with your husband, but for some reason that's not discusting.
Speaker 4: Like it's doing it with with some gross guys.
Speaker 2: Well, maybe the guy's not gross to them, and maybe
Speaker 2: it's you know, I wouldn't want to touch bodies all day,
Speaker 2: but some people massage people, you know, like there's there's
Speaker 2: some people that, but then.
Speaker 1: There are people who work in hospices who have to
Speaker 1: deal with you know, dying perfect exam.
Speaker 2: Yeah, fucking those people.
Speaker 3: Yea, what.
Speaker 1: Taking this in the wrong direction.
Speaker 2: But it's it is, I yeah, I have that dilemma
Speaker 2: because I know there are lots of porn stars that
Speaker 2: are like, I love it, and I chose this and
Speaker 2: this is exactly what I want to do. But then,
Speaker 2: you know, I feel like most of the stuff I
Speaker 2: watch is not that. It's it's women that are this
Speaker 2: wasn't their first choice.
Speaker 3: You're going, why would they have to send me some
Speaker 3: guy when they can just go on like only fans
Speaker 3: and starting only fans and never have to touch anybody.
Speaker 3: Is there's an interesting get their online following going? Or
Speaker 3: is there something about so.
Speaker 2: Much more lucrative and maybe you can make so much
Speaker 2: in one night and maybe it's yeah, it's probably financially
Speaker 2: just there's more money to be made in the red
Speaker 2: light district from just like horny dudes on Baxo parties.
Speaker 4: But it is weird to be in this crowd that's
Speaker 4: shuffling so slowly, pair through these.
Speaker 2: People like a museum, and you look in each window
Speaker 2: and you see this girl just adjusting her thong, licking
Speaker 2: her lips, making eye contact with you. We went to
Speaker 2: a live sex show. Oh, I knew you guys should
Speaker 2: have gone to that. It's so funny.
Speaker 1: No, your dad wanted to, he said we should. Maybe.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you should have gone.
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny. It's not like even sexy. It's
Speaker 2: you know, in ted Lasso, they said, it's just tired
Speaker 2: people having sex, and that really is what.
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I was thinking. I thought I'll be bored.
Speaker 1: You would, you would see a lot of yourself in it.
Speaker 1: You know me too well. But it was just but
Speaker 1: it wasn't answerdam awesome, isn't it just?
Speaker 4: Ye?
Speaker 1: It's such a cool.
Speaker 4: To everybody, so laid back, and everyone's so nice. I
Speaker 4: mean I was looking for someone not nice?
Speaker 2: Oh really?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean talking in Paris? Were they not nice? Oh?
Speaker 1: They're nice in Paris?
Speaker 2: Well did you find like my fear of going to
Speaker 2: Paris is obviously like they're going to be like, oh
Speaker 2: stupid American like you everywhere like.
Speaker 4: Everyone everywhere we went. I was like, people talk about
Speaker 4: that and it's.
Speaker 2: Kind of like the New York thing where they're like
Speaker 2: New York was a mean and that's just.
Speaker 3: Not Maybe they're just peking it though.
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 3: I have a friend who lives in Paris, and he
Speaker 3: was like, they she's now lived there for a couple
Speaker 3: of years, and she's like, they hate every year. They
Speaker 3: hate America. They hate you if you're not Parisian enough,
Speaker 3: imagine you're American.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they just didn't feel that way. I didn't feel ever.
Speaker 2: Like does everyone I hear that everyone's like, so is
Speaker 2: everyone stylish?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Is everyone pretty? Is everyone smoking? Is everyone wearing
Speaker 4: like a lot of smoke?
Speaker 2: Really?
Speaker 1: Like no one's dressed like in labels or like wearing.
Speaker 2: A bunch of it didn't look like no sweat, you
Speaker 2: know there's boots, there's no they're not. No one's carrying
Speaker 2: a coffee cup walking down the street like everyone is
Speaker 2: like they.
Speaker 4: Might be carrying coffee, but it's those are Americans.
Speaker 1: But no ugs. You did not see like ugs and sweats.
Speaker 4: Like no one's dressed like grubby people dressed nice to
Speaker 4: go just.
Speaker 1: Down the streets. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Eighteen hundreds.
Speaker 1: Yeah, tradition.
Speaker 3: Yeah, another people are dressed nice to go watch the
Speaker 3: deer get torture and killed, got.
Speaker 1: It and killed.
Speaker 2: That's such a weird thing, you would it was. I
Speaker 2: do not want to hear Dad talk about it. I
Speaker 2: know he's gonna make it extra visceral just to like
Speaker 2: get at my vegan heart. Well he does that sometimes
Speaker 2: where he'll just like.
Speaker 1: It was actually really cool the way that talk about it,
Speaker 1: the fear in the deer's eye, it just it was
Speaker 1: almost Poeticay, oh, how do you know that it's.
Speaker 3: Bad for the meat? That's why you know you have
Speaker 3: to They can't.
Speaker 1: That's why they give it to the peasants.
Speaker 3: Else theo is coursing through their veins and that spoils
Speaker 3: the meat.
Speaker 2: Okay, speaking of veins real quick, I'm like, so obviously
Speaker 2: I'm doing plates all the.
Speaker 1: Time now and so proud of you.
Speaker 2: Thanks me too. And it's just it's the way of life,
Speaker 2: and it's so it's so hard.
Speaker 1: It's not getting easier.
Speaker 2: So many besties sent me this video of this pilates
Speaker 2: instructor that was being spoofed of like she's going like
Speaker 2: and now your ribcage is a sweater. You're knitting it together,
Speaker 2: knit it, knit it again, and four three knit Now
Speaker 2: your belly you scoop it like some scallion cream cheese.
Speaker 2: You scoop and you're gonna scoop three yes. And it's
Speaker 2: like they just they talk in a different way. They
Speaker 2: have all these weird things that they say to get
Speaker 2: you to visualize stuff.
Speaker 1: It's really I'm starting to love it.
Speaker 2: I'm starting to feel the thing that I always hated
Speaker 2: when people said, which was I've heard the first time
Speaker 2: I ever heard about pilates. This girl was like, my
Speaker 2: body as seriously transformed since doing ploates. I have a
Speaker 2: different body. And I was just like, wh But it's
Speaker 2: kind of true. It's like you just start, I've said
Speaker 2: it before. You feel I feel like I'm learning to
Speaker 2: walk again. I feel as frustrated as you see like
Speaker 2: veterans who have lost their legs and they like, you know,
Speaker 2: when they're struggling and they're like, I want to do
Speaker 2: this anymore, and they're like, I feel that way during
Speaker 2: this of like trying to engage certain muscles, and oftentimes
Speaker 2: they do say, pretend you're Lieutenant Dan and you have
Speaker 2: no muscles. Everything is from your core. So when you're
Speaker 2: doing leg stuff, they're like, don't work your leg muscles.
Speaker 2: It's like, I'll be doing a leg exercise and she's like,
Speaker 2: pretend to how you would do with this if you
Speaker 2: were Lieutenant Dan, And I'm like, but he doesn't have legs.
Speaker 2: I'm using my leg What does that even mean? But
Speaker 2: it's all because it's all core muscles. But I feel
Speaker 2: like him because I'm like, fuck this, this is frustrating.
Speaker 1: I fucking hate that.
Speaker 2: I ever went to war and I scream and I
Speaker 2: don't do that, but I I worked so hard, but
Speaker 2: I was gonna say I was looking into my hamstrings
Speaker 2: are like my tightest area, and my hips, like I
Speaker 2: just want to be able to bend forward and not
Speaker 2: have this like low hunch. And then I've been looking
Speaker 2: into YouTube videos about stretching, and do you know that
Speaker 2: the reason you can't stretch and that you're limited in
Speaker 2: your stretching is very little to do with your muscles
Speaker 2: actually being tight that you could do pretty much all stretches.
Speaker 2: It's in your fucking head. It's your nerves getting scared
Speaker 2: and then telling your body no, no, no, no, no, you're
Speaker 2: gonna You're gonna you can't go any further.
Speaker 1: So it's really Once I learned that, I'm like, oh shit.
Speaker 2: So that's why a lot of stretches you're supposed to
Speaker 2: like start slow and like teach your nerves like, hey, nerves,
Speaker 2: it's okay, Like I'm not gonna hurt this person. Because
Speaker 2: the second you go for a stretch, your body locks
Speaker 2: up immediate because your nerves send a signal to your
Speaker 2: brain going like owow ow, you can't do this. This
Speaker 2: is impossible. Your body is if you stretch anymore, it'll
Speaker 2: rip something. But that's not true. You're able to move.
Speaker 2: It's your fucking head holding you back.
Speaker 1: Is that interesting? Brian? Do you know anything about this?
Speaker 3: I know that just just disclaimer, like you shouldn't try
Speaker 3: to force yourself to overstretch something. Something might snap, But
Speaker 3: you can get paid. Like if you think you're just
Speaker 3: quote unquote not flexible, right, you can become flexible over time.
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of mind to it as opposed
Speaker 1: to just.
Speaker 3: Like there's a lot of mind to everything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just didn't know that that. I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: not saying it's all that. I do believe that they
Speaker 2: are tight muscles and that that Yeah, you can like
Speaker 2: pull that split you Like, I really do.
Speaker 1: Think you can.
Speaker 2: I think it's like it's it's a matter of your
Speaker 2: brain getting in the way, going like you can't do that,
Speaker 2: and I think that we but it's so cemented in
Speaker 2: us to believe that your your brain, your thoughts, and
Speaker 2: your nerves, because it does hurt, and your nerves are hurting,
Speaker 2: so it's sending a signal that it's something and you
Speaker 2: think it's your muscles, but it's not. It's your nerves,
Speaker 2: and your nerves can move.
Speaker 3: You got to ease it. You got to eat into
Speaker 3: it ease. I used to do that. There's a similar
Speaker 3: concept with starting strength, which is this workout thing right
Speaker 3: where you would constantly make the weights heavier and heavier,
Speaker 3: and like they would say, like you think you can't
Speaker 3: do five reps of that ridiculous weight, you can and
Speaker 3: it's amazing how if you just get over the mental hurdle,
Speaker 3: you actually can squat that much weight five times as
Speaker 3: long as you're building up to it. Though you can't
Speaker 3: just go out there and believe much at the rock, Yeah,
Speaker 3: then you'll really hurt yourself.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's limitations, but crystaled me this anecdote yesterday of like,
Speaker 2: there's some study where they put rats in a bucket
Speaker 2: and they may they exhausted them to the point where
Speaker 2: the rat drowns, right or like is about to drown.
Speaker 2: And I'm sure they I'm sure they didn't rescue them
Speaker 2: because sciences cruel, but they the rats drowned.
Speaker 1: Let's say it.
Speaker 2: This is just a made up number, but they drown
Speaker 2: at eighteen minutes, right, So they took another batch of
Speaker 2: rats and at seventeen minutes, knowing that they're all going
Speaker 2: to give up at eighteen they take them out at
Speaker 2: seventeen minutes and they let them catch their breath for
Speaker 2: a couple of minutes. They put them back in. And
Speaker 2: how long do you think those last rats lasted?
Speaker 1: Seventeen minutes?
Speaker 2: Like hours, because the rat now thinks someone's going to
Speaker 2: come and get me. When the rat has no hope,
Speaker 2: it's going to give up so much sooner. So if
Speaker 2: you think that there's an end in sight, you can
Speaker 2: hold on for that much longer.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's learned helplessness. That's a major study on optimism
Speaker 3: where they would take there was a one with dogs.
Speaker 3: There's one of the rats where they would press a
Speaker 3: button and a pellet of food would come out, and
Speaker 3: so they learn if they press this button, a pellet
Speaker 3: of food would come out, and then they did it.
Speaker 3: They brought their rats back in. They pressed the button
Speaker 3: and no food comes out. And then every once in
Speaker 3: a while they pressed the button and they get an
Speaker 3: electric shock, right, And then they pressed the button and
Speaker 3: then food comes out, and they get confused, and so
Speaker 3: now they keep pressing the button. They get shocked, there's nothing,
Speaker 3: and then eventually they just stop pressing the button, and
Speaker 3: then they turned the food back on. If they were
Speaker 3: to press the button one more time, food would come out,
Speaker 3: but they have learned helplessness, and so they just sit
Speaker 3: there and they never press the button again.
Speaker 2: So what do we learn from that.
Speaker 3: We learn that it's possible to break someone's spirit in
Speaker 3: a way that would cause them to So, so what
Speaker 3: we learned from it is we should be optimistic. One
Speaker 3: of your main goals for longevity is to always try
Speaker 3: to be in an optimistic mindset. Otherwise, if you learn helplessness,
Speaker 3: that's what you'll fall into a depression and you'll stop
Speaker 3: doing the things that could potentially keep you alive. There
Speaker 3: is the mis will keep you alive longer, optimism will
Speaker 3: along at your life.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's why old people are always
Speaker 2: like I just laugh all the time, like those like
Speaker 2: you know, one hundred and three about anything. Yeah, Like
Speaker 2: I just have like a yeah, I'm pretty. There, I'm pretty.
Speaker 2: They're not usually like very stressful people. But another study,
Speaker 2: just real quick, there was one where they chased a
Speaker 2: deer for three hours and they what they learned from
Speaker 2: it at the very end after it was mauled by
Speaker 2: a bunch of dogs is nothing. They learned nothing. It
Speaker 2: was pointless and.
Speaker 3: Years. We learned this lesson in fourteen ninety three.
Speaker 2: I guess I need to keep repeating it, see if
Speaker 2: we get different results. All right, guys, Happy Thanksgiving. Thank
