Speaker 1: The Nick A Gliser Podcastiser Pop.
Speaker 2: Here's Nikki.
Speaker 1: Hello, Here I am, It's a Nick Laser podcast. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the show. Oh, my voice coming out of the
Speaker 1: gate not great. I have been singing all day. I
Speaker 1: have to say, I've was in the recording studio, so
Speaker 1: my voice is a little shot. But I really tried
Speaker 1: to get I like you could hear a crack on that.
Speaker 1: Not to brag or anything, but I, you know, wrote
Speaker 1: and recorded a song this week and it is the
Speaker 1: first time I ever did it. And it's gonna be
Speaker 1: fucking good. And you're not supposed to, like say something's
Speaker 1: gonna be good before they're supposed to undersell it. But
Speaker 1: I really think this is gonna be good, and I
Speaker 1: think you guys are gonna like it. So I'm just
Speaker 1: putting that out there. Yeah, I wrote a pop song.
Speaker 1: Brian Frangie's here. Noah is here, and we have a
Speaker 1: special guest, a friend who I have known for so
Speaker 1: many years, and it has been actually over a year,
Speaker 1: probably a couple of years since we've like really connected.
Speaker 1: So I'm so excited to have her here. She's so funny,
Speaker 1: she is so cool, and she has a new special
Speaker 1: tape or she's taping a new special April sixth in Madison, Wisconsin,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna find out where in just a second,
Speaker 1: because I did not get that detail.
Speaker 2: It's Hia, So are you?
Speaker 3: Thank you for having me?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, thanks for being here.
Speaker 1: This is the beauty of having a podcast is that
Speaker 1: you get a text from your producer being like, would
Speaker 1: you like to have on comedian Kelsey Cook and like
Speaker 1: all this information about you.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, she's my friend, of course I wanted
Speaker 2: to Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, of course I haven't
Speaker 1: talked to her in so long, and this will be
Speaker 1: a great way for us to catch up because I've
Speaker 1: been watching you from afar. But we just I think
Speaker 1: our last conversation was like during COVID, we.
Speaker 2: Talked for like an hour on the phone. Is am
Speaker 2: I remembering that correctly?
Speaker 3: Yes, we talked during COVID during all of the insanity,
Speaker 3: and then shortly after that my whole life like completely changed.
Speaker 3: I moved from LA to Spokane, Washington, and I was
Speaker 3: living there for two years and we don't have.
Speaker 2: I didn't know you were there. Yeah, yeah, and that's
Speaker 2: where you're from.
Speaker 3: Right where I'm from. I think you were living in
Speaker 3: Saint Louis already at that point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, I was. I was already in
Speaker 1: deep in my hometown. Yeah, still still.
Speaker 4: There, Yes, yes, we just went to Spokane.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we we were in Spokane December.
Speaker 4: A casino that was hidden in a military base or something, right,
Speaker 4: that sounds something.
Speaker 3: That all checks out for Spokane.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah. You were such a pioneer in the leaving LA
Speaker 3: or New York during that time and having a better
Speaker 3: life for it. I think just being.
Speaker 1: Yeah, did you did you discover that when you moved
Speaker 1: back was it?
Speaker 2: Was it better for you?
Speaker 3: Yeah? It was better in ways and harder in certain ways.
Speaker 3: We don't have to get super into it because it's dark.
Speaker 3: But a few weeks after I moved back home, my
Speaker 3: mom went into the hospital and ended up staying in
Speaker 3: there for five months and was diagnosed with MENHA while
Speaker 3: she was in there, and.
Speaker 2: So, oh jeez, yeah, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 3: Thank you. So the two years that I was there
Speaker 3: were like the lowest lows of going through all of that,
Speaker 3: and then I also it was so random because you
Speaker 3: know a lot of people had started to post more
Speaker 3: and more content on their social media during the pandemic
Speaker 3: and I got seen by an agent at CAAA while
Speaker 3: I was living and Spokane and ended up being signed
Speaker 3: by them, and then they booked out this whole massive tour.
Speaker 3: So it was, yeah, like such lows personally, and then
Speaker 3: things with my career started to get really busy, and
Speaker 3: it was it was just like a weird couple of
Speaker 3: years of a lot of things happening.
Speaker 1: But yeah, well, I'm glad you had some good in
Speaker 1: there as well, because that's.
Speaker 4: The way it always goes. You can't have all your
Speaker 4: pillars good at the same time. Oh yeah, to have
Speaker 4: one up, you need to have one down.
Speaker 2: Brian has this pillars theory of life.
Speaker 1: I don't even think you brought it up on the
Speaker 1: podcast yet, Like, but what are the pillars of life
Speaker 1: that you need to I'll have to do.
Speaker 4: Or I'll have to review because I'm not gonna deliver
Speaker 4: this quickly except forget so I'll review my pillars and
Speaker 4: bring it back in a future episode. But Okay, the
Speaker 4: point is I feel like there's a balance, and like
Speaker 4: in order for ups to happen, there needs to be downs.
Speaker 4: I feel like it never's all working out at the
Speaker 4: same time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, yeah, some people, it seems to maybe
Speaker 1: I just don't know what's really going on in their
Speaker 1: personal life. But no, it was it hard to celebrate
Speaker 1: those highs or were you Was it a huge relief?
Speaker 1: Was there like a guilt associated with it?
Speaker 3: Was there?
Speaker 1: Okay, I can get out of here. What was the
Speaker 1: feeling when the good news came?
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's such a great question. I feel like
Speaker 3: this whole. So my mom's now had dementia for three years,
Speaker 3: and it has been so interesting that when something good
Speaker 3: in my life happens, I do have, of course that
Speaker 3: moment of like, oh yay, this is so exciting, And
Speaker 3: then there's also now this sadness of wishing I could
Speaker 3: tell my mom and that she would know what it
Speaker 3: means for whatever I'm sharing, because she's always been the
Speaker 3: biggest fan, biggest supporter. So yeah, it's it's way.
Speaker 1: So how quickly did she get past the point of
Speaker 1: being able to understand something like that and celebrate it
Speaker 1: with you in a way that would mean something to you.
Speaker 3: She so in that time that she was in the hospital.
Speaker 3: At one point they thought she had six weeks left
Speaker 3: to live, like she had become catatonic, wasn't. Yeah, and
Speaker 3: then she kind of miraculously pulled through that got out
Speaker 3: of the hospital. But I mean has been like on
Speaker 3: and off of hospice for three years. So damn dementia.
Speaker 3: I didn't know anything about dementia until for getting diagnosed
Speaker 3: with it. But it's so not linear. It's not like,
Speaker 3: oh you can like see exactly going down. It's like
Speaker 3: some days it takes a nose dive and you feel
Speaker 3: like you're not going to get any portion of that
Speaker 3: person back, and then they'll kind of, you know, come
Speaker 3: back in ways. So I would say it's been probably
Speaker 3: like a year that like in this past year has
Speaker 3: been a lot less of her being able to really
Speaker 3: know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Right, right, So it comes and goes.
Speaker 1: There's like signs of it at first, and then she'll
Speaker 1: remember the next like it's yeah, it's all it's bouncing
Speaker 1: all over the place.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's just yikes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sorry girl.
Speaker 4: It's like Mario Lopez's career. You think it's gonna go
Speaker 4: ran and then all of a sudden, it's back.
Speaker 2: It's not going, it's not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: It goes up, it has ups and down, but it's
Speaker 1: it's not it's not gonna go away. Yeah, he's not
Speaker 1: going away. Unfortunately, dementia doesn't go away.
Speaker 3: No, that's so I would have never made a Mario
Speaker 3: Lopez career correlation. Mom.
Speaker 2: That's what Brian's here.
Speaker 3: That's a specific still and you know.
Speaker 1: What, that's what Like obviously I was I was about
Speaker 1: to ask you because I have a friend whose parent
Speaker 1: is going through the same thing. He's a comedian, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, the way he talks about there's like some
Speaker 1: really funny shit that's happening with dementia, because it's someone
Speaker 1: who's like blackout drunk all the time and like kind
Speaker 1: of like operating like there's there's got to be there's
Speaker 1: humor within it because it's it's so tragic. How what
Speaker 1: what really else can you get from it except all
Speaker 1: the sadness you gotta be There's gotta be moments of
Speaker 1: like his dad like put a hair dryer in the
Speaker 1: microwave and like won't stop trying to do that, Like
Speaker 1: he has to cook.
Speaker 2: This hair dryer.
Speaker 1: It's like why does he need to do this? Like
Speaker 1: there's this urgency about it, and they can't leave him
Speaker 1: alone because that will one hundred percent happen right and there.
Speaker 2: And I remember being.
Speaker 1: Like, you got to talk about this on stage. He's like,
Speaker 1: people don't laugh when I talk about it, and I go, oh,
Speaker 1: it's because you it's too sad to you.
Speaker 4: Still, it's also so horrifying, you know that.
Speaker 2: Ever one.
Speaker 1: Is, it's looming for all of us and all of
Speaker 1: our loved ones. It's like the thing you don't like
Speaker 1: you were thinking saying you didn't know much about dementia before,
Speaker 1: Like lots of our parents are going to get it,
Speaker 1: and we all are like blinders till it happens. Because
Speaker 1: what am I supposed to do like start reading about
Speaker 1: it now and getting depressed before it happens, Like you
Speaker 1: gotta get blindsided, so you protect your fucking sanity until
Speaker 1: it happens.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean you'll stop sleeping if it's something
Speaker 3: you're afraid of all the time, because it is truly
Speaker 3: such a nightmare. But I as you're talking about your
Speaker 3: friend who is going through it and has these things
Speaker 3: that it still seemed too dark to talk about on stage,
Speaker 3: So I fell that way for a while, Like I
Speaker 3: I barely talked about what was going on with my
Speaker 3: mom publicly for the first couple of years of it,
Speaker 3: just because I I didn't know how much I wanted
Speaker 3: to share. And and then I start to talk about
Speaker 3: certain parts of it on stage, and now it's like
Speaker 3: the last maybe like third of my hour that I'm
Speaker 3: about to tape.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's so exciting. Yeah, and I but it's yeah,
Speaker 1: it's at that place.
Speaker 3: And now I do have people who come up after
Speaker 3: shows who do have family members with dementia or have
Speaker 3: lost a family member to dementia that are like, thank
Speaker 3: you so much for talking about this. Yeah, because it
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm still honoring her to talk about it,
Speaker 3: because I'm saying, like, she has dementia, but she is
Speaker 3: so smart and funny that even with dementia, she's still
Speaker 3: so crafty and like sharing these things that she will
Speaker 3: say and do. And yeah, I mean, I just think
Speaker 3: there's a way that you can talk about it that's
Speaker 3: feeling for you and is still respectful to them.
Speaker 1: So yes, I and that's such a balance, because yes,
Speaker 1: it's there is a way to really throw them under
Speaker 1: the bus if you want to, and and not handle
Speaker 1: it with Careen. That's probably what makes you nervous to
Speaker 1: even talk about it.
Speaker 2: And when I say it's exciting, that felt like the
Speaker 2: wrong word.
Speaker 1: But what I'm talking about is like when you have
Speaker 1: this breakthrough, when you're struggling with the topic, that you're like,
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm ever gonna be able to talk
Speaker 1: about this. I wish I could, but literally, I don't
Speaker 1: think there's ever gonna be a chance. And now it's
Speaker 1: a third of your fucking new hour that's like this.
Speaker 1: That means that you have found a way to make
Speaker 1: it really not only personal personal, but universal and that
Speaker 1: like people are and you're it's how excited to be
Speaker 1: talking about something that kind of feels taboo and being
Speaker 1: able to make it such a huge junk of your set.
Speaker 2: I'm so excited to see this material.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh my god.
Speaker 1: I oh sorry, go ahead, No, I mean I want
Speaker 1: to I want to see some I even I like,
Speaker 1: I savored a clip I saw of yours yesterday because
Speaker 1: it was some crowd work you were doing with someone
Speaker 1: who knew your who knows you're is a fan of
Speaker 1: your boyfriend's Chad Daniels, who is an amazing comedian. And
Speaker 1: I haven't really I haven't talked to you since you
Speaker 1: guys got together and he I've known him for years,
Speaker 1: so it was like these two people from my two
Speaker 1: separate worlds coming together. Not to make it about me,
Speaker 1: but it's just when you find out two of your
Speaker 1: friends have found each other, you're like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: it makes so much sense. It's so exciting. I'm so
Speaker 1: excited about Chad. But that clip was so funny of
Speaker 1: this woman at the club being like, I know your
Speaker 1: boyfriend and being like, I'm a huge fan, and you're like,
Speaker 1: easy lady.
Speaker 2: And I'll save what Kelsey does.
Speaker 1: But Kelsey is a really hilarious physical moment that she like,
Speaker 1: it was a real It was just so quick and
Speaker 1: so sharp, and you got to go watch that clip
Speaker 1: Kelsey Cook Comedy on Instagram.
Speaker 2: How did you and chat?
Speaker 1: I guess we have to go to breaks soon, but
Speaker 1: I just want to get into the chat a bit.
Speaker 1: I love talking about relationships, and that is what a
Speaker 1: bright spot that has seemed to be just from me
Speaker 1: watching like stalking you guys on Instagram and projecting my
Speaker 1: own assumptions about your relationship onto you. It seems perfect,
Speaker 1: it seems ideal. You're both so funny. Tell me it's
Speaker 1: as good as it looks how long have you guys
Speaker 1: been together?
Speaker 3: Been together for about a year and a half now,
Speaker 3: and we started a podcasts together recently, which.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's like that's like bigger getting a dog, we
Speaker 1: bought a house to.
Speaker 2: Gel Oh well okay, I.
Speaker 3: Feel like the podcast isn't even bigger. Like you could
Speaker 3: privately sell a house, you can't privately end a podcast.
Speaker 3: If this goes, that's such a good role, Like there
Speaker 3: will have to be a public explanation.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you guys will have custody of the podcast,
Speaker 2: take turn hosting it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's what's the podcast called?
Speaker 2: And when when did it already start?
Speaker 3: So it's called Pretend Problems And uh, there are ten
Speaker 3: episodes out so far. So the videos are on YouTube,
Speaker 3: the audios on all podcast platforms.
Speaker 2: But awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're being pretty open about the problems that
Speaker 3: we've gone through and then we take listener questions and
Speaker 3: try to give it advice.
Speaker 1: As a couple or in your like, individually as a couple.
Speaker 2: Oh that's what I like.
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted to do with my boyfriend, but
Speaker 1: I was too scared because it would it would turn
Speaker 1: into like a fight, Like I was scared I would
Speaker 1: lose control of it and it would become not fun
Speaker 1: to listen to, and there would be too many stopdowns
Speaker 1: of like we can't air this.
Speaker 2: Like had there.
Speaker 1: Been moments like that with you guys where you're like,
Speaker 1: can we air this?
Speaker 2: Like this is getting heated?
Speaker 3: We were learning that it's better for us, like if
Speaker 3: we do want to get into something that was and
Speaker 3: like an actual hard thing to talk about in the moment,
Speaker 3: that we have to let it be completely cooled off
Speaker 3: before we talk about it on the podcast. So when
Speaker 3: I talked through an argument that we had that in
Speaker 3: like what it was about was so stupid and silly,
Speaker 3: which are you know, ninety nine percent of relationship right feel?
Speaker 2: Can you tell me what it was about? Do you
Speaker 2: remember this one?
Speaker 3: Yeah? We were walking to our car in a parking
Speaker 3: garage and Chad is just like he just becomes Jason
Speaker 3: Bourne in public where he just like feels like he
Speaker 3: knows the most efficient way to do everything transportations, but
Speaker 3: he doesn't communicate that with the people around him. And
Speaker 3: so I'm like, and I'm very like, I have my
Speaker 3: hood up. I'm like, I don't even know where I'm walking.
Speaker 3: I'm just in another world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're just blindly following him. Yeah, and so he
Speaker 1: and he's parcouring really Yeah, so he.
Speaker 3: Felt like I was in the way of a car
Speaker 3: coming and he kind of tried to like shepherd me,
Speaker 3: like out of the way. But in that moment, it
Speaker 3: felt like I don't know. I mean, he's he is
Speaker 3: older than me, and I think I felt like that
Speaker 3: that girl feeling of like I can do it, like
Speaker 3: I don't need you to like tell me like where
Speaker 3: to walk or whatever. And uh, and then I kind
Speaker 3: of shut down for a few minutes, which is his
Speaker 3: ultimate like hates a silent treatment. Yeah, I wasn't trying
Speaker 3: to give a silent treatment. I'm more like I want
Speaker 3: to take a few minutes to think before I talk.
Speaker 2: And those two are so like relatable. Yeah, it that's
Speaker 2: the problem.
Speaker 1: Everyone that does the silent treatment most of the time
Speaker 1: isn't trying to They're just like that's their weird processing shit.
Speaker 1: And the people that hate the silent treatment are being
Speaker 1: given it have no idea what that is. Like I
Speaker 1: find that me and like I hate the silent treatment too,
Speaker 1: and when I get it, I'm just like just get
Speaker 1: over it now, Like you know, I didn't mean to
Speaker 1: you know, it didn't mean to make you feel like
Speaker 1: a child.
Speaker 2: Do you understand that?
Speaker 1: Okay, yes, now, like let's go back to be happy,
Speaker 1: like I said, sorry, And they usually need to like
Speaker 1: process it, which is.
Speaker 2: Oh, totally fine, but man, those but I relate to
Speaker 2: that so much.
Speaker 1: Okay, So so you're sulking a little bit, like you're
Speaker 1: just like piecing it together, but you're a little quiet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just trying to cool off a little bit
Speaker 3: before saying things that are like a bigger feeling than
Speaker 3: I actually feel. And yeah, he just was like, well, okay,
Speaker 3: like I guess today's ruiner. Like he immediately then feels
Speaker 3: so like, well, I guess this is this whole thing now.
Speaker 3: So he would rather say how he feels right then
Speaker 3: and then apologize later, and I would rather wait and
Speaker 3: not have to apologize. But it's just like these are.
Speaker 1: The yeah exactly, yours doesn't ever come yes, but you
Speaker 1: guys all just go off and you mullet over and
Speaker 1: you make peace with yourself, but like we don't.
Speaker 2: Yes, that is that's so interesting.
Speaker 1: And how many times I have said, I guess the
Speaker 1: day's ruined because I did some little thing and he
Speaker 1: needs three seconds to fucking just come out of his
Speaker 1: funk where he thought I was doing the mean thing
Speaker 1: or whatever, and man, it's it's I've been through that
Speaker 1: a million times. It's so fun, I know, which is
Speaker 1: it's so nice to hear someone else buzzing yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, we're how you're saying that you were afraid
Speaker 3: to do with your boyfriend because you're like, oh my god,
Speaker 3: is this going to be like too rocky? There are
Speaker 3: times where we end theps so we're like, fuck, should
Speaker 3: we be showing people just that we don't know really
Speaker 3: what our relationship looks like like if we do have
Speaker 3: a bad day whatever. But it has been so nice
Speaker 3: to get comments from people like oh my god, thank you,
Speaker 3: and now we feel so much less alone if we're
Speaker 3: having a similar fight. So I think it's nice. You
Speaker 3: do see too many Instagram versions of couples, and then
Speaker 3: I think you feel extra like shit if you have
Speaker 3: a bad day with your partner because you're like, well,
Speaker 3: I guess we're yes, fucking doom. Then it's like no, it's.
Speaker 1: Everyone's like rational and thoughtful and remorseful and just you know,
Speaker 1: full of gratitude for their partner. Even when they're like
Speaker 1: talking about tough times, they always like talk about the
Speaker 1: most healthy way in which they handled it, Like, at
Speaker 1: least the stuff I'm being sold is like partners just
Speaker 1: being super empathetic towards each other and being like and
Speaker 1: maybe admitting they did wrong, but it just even the
Speaker 1: bad seems good. That's the illusion of Instagram, Like even
Speaker 1: the things that are like this is my real acting
Speaker 1: and you're like, well, fuck you, that's not even that bad,
Speaker 1: or like look at my cellulite and you're like that that yeah, okay, wow,
Speaker 1: well I guess you're showing me your worst. I'm still
Speaker 1: feeling now I feel bad about myself because it's not
Speaker 1: as bad as my worst, right, Yeah, even the bad
Speaker 1: stuff is curated, So that's that's nice, And I mean
Speaker 1: that's what we're I think that's what we are as
Speaker 1: comedians better at than pretty much everyone else. Is just
Speaker 1: being saying humiliating things or being really vulnerable in a
Speaker 1: way that most other.
Speaker 2: People would be like, you can't put that out, and
Speaker 2: we're just like, I don't know, fine, as long as
Speaker 2: it was funny.
Speaker 3: The clip that you were talking about with the woman
Speaker 3: in the crowd who's like a super fan of dads
Speaker 3: and I mean we talked about that on the podcast
Speaker 3: because that blew up online into this whole I had.
Speaker 3: I mean, it has like over twelve million views on
Speaker 3: TikTok and a couple of days like it went so
Speaker 3: much crazier than I expected it to. And then you
Speaker 3: do have people like, oh shit, like what's he doing?
Speaker 3: Like what's what's going on? Girl? Like can you trust him?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 3: So funny?
Speaker 2: People are so weird?
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's and you know what, men are such
Speaker 1: pieces of shit, Like so many women are dealing with
Speaker 1: just a horrible men that the assumption that there's anything
Speaker 1: shady going on with your that fan and Chad from
Speaker 1: your clip makes me realize there's a real there's a
Speaker 1: problem of like cheating and just shittiness going on. If
Speaker 1: that's the first reaction someone has, h but it kind
Speaker 1: of yeah, that's what you see.
Speaker 2: Like TikTok comments.
Speaker 1: I mean they've got to be the worst, right, Like
Speaker 1: I'm not on TikTok, but I hear that's those are
Speaker 1: the worst ones.
Speaker 2: They're up there with YouTube.
Speaker 3: I made the mistake of redownloading Twitter to post the
Speaker 3: video because somebody else had posted it and it got
Speaker 3: and they didn't tag me, of course, and I got
Speaker 3: like six million views of course is always how that goes.
Speaker 3: And I looked at the comments there and I was like, ooh,
Speaker 3: like these people are like truly the yeah, like the most.
Speaker 4: Twitter is the worst. YouTube's actually not so bad these days.
Speaker 3: I forgot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, it's I didn't even know. I don't
Speaker 1: even think about it anymore. But yeah, I'm guessing. And Threads,
Speaker 1: how do they taking I'm just kidding.
Speaker 3: Four Threads. I joined when everybody said you should join,
Speaker 3: and I posted four times and.
Speaker 2: I haven't done it.
Speaker 4: That's everybody. Yeah, Threads was a disaster, but everyone's really
Speaker 4: nice on threads. If you could post on threads, generally
Speaker 4: they're like, thank you for being here.
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah that would that? How did you guys? Oh?
Speaker 2: Should we go to break?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Where are you saying, honey, yeah, let's go to break
Speaker 1: because I want to hear about the genesis of your
Speaker 1: relationship with comedian Chant Daniels, because two comedians stating I
Speaker 1: always wanted to scoop.

Speaker 1: Boyfriend is one of the funniest comedians that every comedian
Speaker 1: sites is like their favorite comedian Chat Daniels. He's been
Speaker 1: around forever. He's you said you older than you you
Speaker 1: obviously knew about him before, or did you? How did
Speaker 1: you guys end up being uh being together?
Speaker 3: You're yeah, I am.
Speaker 4: Did you go on to one of his shows and yell
Speaker 4: at him?
Speaker 2: And yeah? Were you a super fan? Everyone, well, every
Speaker 2: comedian that.
Speaker 1: Knows anything knows Chad Daniels is one of the best,
Speaker 1: So it's like you you had to have been a fan.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you to his girlfriend's show and yelled at I mean, the.
Speaker 3: Biggest superman bought a house with the man. That's like
Speaker 3: the creepiest thing. The first time I had heard of him, actually,
Speaker 3: I was on my way to the airport and my
Speaker 3: lyft driver was playing his.
Speaker 4: Album Wow, And I.
Speaker 3: Had heard his name before, just through comedy, but I
Speaker 3: hadn't ever listened. And this lyft driver and I ended
Speaker 3: up like bonding the whole ride because we were both
Speaker 3: just dying laughing at his album.
Speaker 4: And uh, how long did you guys date.
Speaker 3: Really really started a great relationship with him? But no,
Speaker 3: it was so like mind blowing to me how I
Speaker 3: just like could not stop laughing out loud that whole ride.
Speaker 3: He was so funny. And then I had chat on
Speaker 3: my web series with Severy. I had a football web
Speaker 3: series on YouTube for a few years. Oh yeah, so
Speaker 3: the first time we met is actually on YouTube, Like
Speaker 3: you can.
Speaker 2: Watch as whoa, that's so cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's fun.
Speaker 1: To If I watched it, am I gonna be like,
Speaker 1: oh my god. There's so many signs these two are
Speaker 1: like rush ship.
Speaker 3: You could definitely see like some chemistry. I think, yeah,
Speaker 3: but I was married at the time and he was
Speaker 3: in a relationship.
Speaker 2: Oh so I'm sure there's none.
Speaker 3: Well oh no, but you know, we were I feel like,
Speaker 3: having like a really fun good time on camera, but
Speaker 3: like when the camera was off, I thought that Chad
Speaker 3: like hated I thought that he because he was trying
Speaker 3: to be really respectful to his friend and to my husband,
Speaker 3: and so I I mean that day, I was like
Speaker 3: kind of sad. So I was like, oh god, I
Speaker 3: think he's so funny, but like, I don't even think
Speaker 3: he likes me as a person. Like I really felt
Speaker 3: like nothing, whatever, you know.
Speaker 1: That's happened so often when you like, I know that
Speaker 1: it's happened to me a bunch, and not even because
Speaker 1: I'm trying to respect someone in a relationship. And this
Speaker 1: is this could if you're in a relationship, you you
Speaker 1: happen to like have feelings for someone else, Like it
Speaker 1: happens to people. It's not a bad thing if you
Speaker 1: catch feelings while you're in a relationship. Let's just like
Speaker 1: get over that first and foremost you can't help what
Speaker 1: you feel. But like, when I like someone or even like,
Speaker 1: I go the opposite way because I don't want them
Speaker 1: to know and I don't want I don't want myself
Speaker 1: to even recognize it, especially if I'm with someone I like.
Speaker 2: Don't want to acknowledge it. So I go the other way.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, instead of being a neutral person that's
Speaker 1: just friendly, I'm a bitch. I turned into like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I turned into like kind of mean, and yeah, I
Speaker 1: overcompensate because I'm so scared of letting in that feeling
Speaker 1: and I can't let them know. And so a lot
Speaker 1: of times guys have been that I liked to have
Speaker 1: been like she hates me, including my boyfriend Chris, like
Speaker 1: was about to quit my show that he was working
Speaker 1: on when I was in love with them before we
Speaker 1: got together, and he was gonna quit because or like
Speaker 1: look for other works because he's like the host hates me.
Speaker 2: She doesn't look at me, she doesn't talk to me.
Speaker 1: And it was really I mean, I probably could be
Speaker 1: I like get me too for this, but like I
Speaker 1: was mean to him because I liked it, so I
Speaker 1: couldn't It wasn't trying to be but I was not
Speaker 1: a good boss because I liked him so much and
Speaker 1: I couldn't let him see that because it was too vulnerable.
Speaker 1: But that's really funny that I love like going back.
Speaker 2: And being like you were so weird that.
Speaker 1: First day, Like so when did it? When did you
Speaker 1: guys reconnect? Like when were you both single again?
Speaker 4: You?
Speaker 1: You you got a divorce. I mean, god, damn girl,
Speaker 1: you've been through a lot.
Speaker 3: It's twenty twenty. Twenty twenty was a lot. And then
Speaker 3: I moved to Spokane feeling like, Okay, I'm gonna move home.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna like have kind of a fresh start. Twenty
Speaker 3: twenty one is going to be great. And literally three
Speaker 3: weeks after I moved home, my mom went to the hospital.
Speaker 3: So it was just like there was a lot of
Speaker 3: hard stuff and New.
Speaker 4: Year's can you say why she went to the hospital
Speaker 4: the first time?
Speaker 3: So she went and I actually I found her on
Speaker 3: her floor, called time on one, and she had a
Speaker 3: perforated stomach ulcer, her gallbladder was full of stones, and
Speaker 3: she had COVID, so she was like almost septic.
Speaker 2: They did a merriple threat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they did emergency surgery, and when she came out
Speaker 3: of surgery, she was a completely different person because she
Speaker 3: had underlying dementia and we didn't realize that anesthesia can acceler.
Speaker 2: Oh no, oh, it like, let's it out.
Speaker 3: Fuck. Yeah, So it really.
Speaker 1: Like Kelsey, Shit, why still together? So were they were
Speaker 1: not at the time? Was your mom? Did you have
Speaker 1: like a stepdad or is she dating anyone?
Speaker 2: Or it's just you. Do you have brother? You have siblings?
Speaker 1: Helped me.
Speaker 3: I have a younger brother, but he's he's almost six
Speaker 3: years younger than me, and you know, lived out of state,
Speaker 3: had a baby on.
Speaker 2: The way, So this was a lot on.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was there with her in the hospital every
Speaker 3: day for five months. Basically it was like.
Speaker 2: During COVID hospital like weird times.
Speaker 3: Yeah. When she came out of the surgery, I mean
Speaker 3: she for a long I thought she had time traveled
Speaker 3: because it was like everybody in these like giant house
Speaker 3: matt suits around her like it was so disorienting for her.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she didn't have dementia. She was just confused why.
Speaker 4: I mean.
Speaker 3: Advanced She's like no, yeah, yeah, God.
Speaker 4: Damn it of anesthesia can accelerate it. That's just horrifying.
Speaker 3: I know, I know. So yeah, I know, Nikki, we
Speaker 3: haven't really talked in so long, and I just was like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot like dementia, but.
Speaker 2: I've just seen the highlights.
Speaker 1: I've seen you just like, like, you know, just blow
Speaker 1: up online and then have this relationship.
Speaker 2: So I thought everything was you know.
Speaker 4: Sad Instagram, that's social media. You think she's just living
Speaker 4: a high life, getting all these followers, touring, getting a
Speaker 4: new boyfriend. Little do you know she's getting divorced. Their
Speaker 4: mom's in hospice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's truly, and that's why.
Speaker 2: We really can have it all.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I started to post more about my mom in
Speaker 3: the last maybe a year or so because it was
Speaker 3: nice to feel more of a connection to people online
Speaker 3: who were going through something similar. But it also just
Speaker 3: felt like it felt so weird to not show this
Speaker 3: entire part of my life that was happening.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I don't know sure.
Speaker 3: A long time I just felt like, I don't know
Speaker 3: if she would want me to be like posting about this,
Speaker 3: but you do, like you do get to a point
Speaker 3: where you're like, okay, it's been years now, Like she
Speaker 3: also would want people who love for who maybe don't
Speaker 3: know that this is happening, to know about it. But anyway,
Speaker 3: that was.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out to dinner with my parents tonight.
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask them when they their mind starts
Speaker 1: to go if it's okay if I post like, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get their permission, because I'll be I'll be tempted
Speaker 1: to want to and I'll probably say no, and then
Speaker 1: I can't. So I probably shouldn't ask me to just
Speaker 1: ask for permission later. But no, But but it is
Speaker 1: important to show that part of it. It sucks when
Speaker 1: you have as a comedian and as someone who has
Speaker 1: you have two podcasts, and you have you're on stage
Speaker 1: every night, and you just you want to be able
Speaker 1: to share every facet of your life. And I don't
Speaker 1: think most people have private parts of their life, but
Speaker 1: it really sucks when you got to make one as
Speaker 1: a comedian, a major one that is influencing every way
Speaker 1: you see the world. Now you can't say why this
Speaker 1: might be your overall tone about other things, like the
Speaker 1: underlying thing. You want to be able to get it
Speaker 1: all out. So that's really good that you can now.
Speaker 4: I felt the same way. I felt the same way
Speaker 4: about my my mattress, I mean is so long. I
Speaker 4: was wondering whether I should share my mattress journey.
Speaker 1: We really regret that you did. I think it was
Speaker 1: too soon.
Speaker 4: But the outpouring, the outpouring of negativity that came, yeah,
Speaker 4: was inspired.
Speaker 1: Kelsey, how did you and Chad start talking again? So, like,
Speaker 1: when did that happen?
Speaker 3: It was a little bit of a felt like a
Speaker 3: kind of a gem and pan thing for a while
Speaker 3: after that, where like kind of one of us would
Speaker 3: reach out and be like, hey, how are you doing,
Speaker 3: and the other person and would be in a relationship,
Speaker 3: and then that person would be out of the relationship
Speaker 3: and reach out to them, and then they would be
Speaker 3: in a relationship, and so yeah it you know, And
Speaker 3: like I said, that first time I met him, I
Speaker 3: really was like, oh, I don't even think he likes
Speaker 3: me as a person. He was so stonefaced. Then it's
Speaker 3: funny now because even the first I don't know good
Speaker 3: chunk of our relationship. In the beginning, he was so
Speaker 3: hard to read because he just was so terrified to
Speaker 3: get hurt. He had all of these walls. But we
Speaker 3: would go on dates and I would be like, I'm
Speaker 3: having fun. Are you having fun? Because it would just
Speaker 3: make me like mini golfing, and he would.
Speaker 2: Just like he'd be so nervous that he has to
Speaker 2: like turn it off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like no expression on his face.
Speaker 2: And you knew there was more to.
Speaker 1: This guy because you can see his comedy, Like if
Speaker 1: there weren't ways for you to watch him on podcasts
Speaker 1: and watch him on YouTube, like you know this guy,
Speaker 1: the guy that you are attracted to, is lurking somewhere
Speaker 1: underneath all of this, Like why can't you like this
Speaker 1: around me when like eventually obviously that edifice like fell
Speaker 1: away and you were able to like get to that.
Speaker 2: How many dates did it take? How long before?
Speaker 3: I mean, because we were a long distance for the
Speaker 3: first you know, oh, yes.
Speaker 2: You're starting over every time kind of.
Speaker 3: So but yeah, I mean he and he's opened up
Speaker 3: about it on the podcast, but just really really uh
Speaker 3: felt so strongly about me, which is so sweet, but
Speaker 3: would like hide that because he was afraid to get hurt,
Speaker 3: and so he just kind of like really kept walls
Speaker 3: up for a long time until he felt I think
Speaker 3: for sure that I wasn't gonna hurt him or you know,
Speaker 3: it was godna work out. But yeah, it took a
Speaker 3: long time and a lot. It just it went slower
Speaker 3: than any relationship I've ever bet interesting, very very.
Speaker 2: Well, and then and now it's working.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he has kids, right, and how long did
Speaker 1: it take you before you met them? So I met
Speaker 1: and was that so I would be so nervous because
Speaker 1: they're like teens, right, they're like teen girls.
Speaker 3: So he has a twenty four year old son and
Speaker 3: a nineteen year old daughter.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so they're beyond teens. Yeah, yeah, at least
Speaker 2: one of them.
Speaker 1: That's a lot. That's so like they're like closer to
Speaker 1: your age. Like it's like that's that's my like dream,
Speaker 1: because you kind of like they're not they're over that
Speaker 1: stage where they're like you're not my real mom. So
Speaker 1: it's like there's not that pressure that you're filling the
Speaker 1: shoes of this person who like they don't even live
Speaker 1: with their dad anymore. So it's not like they But
Speaker 1: it's also like they're they're adults, so they might like
Speaker 1: roll their eyes at you a little bit more like
Speaker 1: what was your feeling going into that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, how'd that go?
Speaker 3: So his son was a little bit easier to connect
Speaker 3: with initially, not necessarily to connect with, but just like
Speaker 3: I felt like he accepted me a little bit more quickly.
Speaker 3: He and his daughter are very close and they I
Speaker 3: think have been able to spend a lot of time
Speaker 3: just the two of them hanging out, and so for
Speaker 3: me to come into the picture, I think felt like
Speaker 3: it disrupted her typical quality time with her dad, and
Speaker 3: I think it's I mean, I talk about this a
Speaker 3: little bit on stage. I wanted her to like me
Speaker 3: so badly initially, but that has to be so weird
Speaker 3: for somebody in her position to try to like me
Speaker 3: because I'm posting jokes online about like blowing her dad,
Speaker 3: and it's like that's no, truly like what that would
Speaker 3: be weird? The worst a nineteen year old was like
Speaker 3: oh yeah, fuck yeah, like welcome to Thanksgiving. Any nineteen
Speaker 3: year old, I feel like totally you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: I feel, So what's discussed If my stepmom talked about that.
Speaker 1: We're porn Kelsey, we're porn stars, like we're we're doing
Speaker 1: we're making jokes, but some of the stuff we describe,
Speaker 1: if you close your eyes, it's porn for the blind,
Speaker 1: like there's no dip. Like we're describing a very intimate
Speaker 1: sexual app sometimes in graphic detail, and yeah, you're that's
Speaker 1: that's the world. I would first of all, I would
Speaker 1: hate you already because you're like pretty, and you're young,
Speaker 1: and like you're taking time away like my dad. I
Speaker 1: was number one for my dad now and it seems
Speaker 1: like he's like kind of split in number one with
Speaker 1: someone else, Like I don't want to share it.
Speaker 2: Like we can all relate to that feeling, not all
Speaker 2: of us.
Speaker 1: But if you have a good relationship with your dad,
Speaker 1: like I can, I would hate it.
Speaker 2: I would have, but I wanted I want it.
Speaker 1: Secretly wanted my parents to divorce when I was little
Speaker 1: because I wanted to hate a step mom.
Speaker 2: It looked so fun like.
Speaker 1: On you know, a Freaky Friday or no parent trap,
Speaker 1: like I wanted to like put frogs in someone's sleeping
Speaker 1: bag and like I don't know, like put nair in
Speaker 1: her shampoo and everything, like I think that's from the
Speaker 1: craft that was a little bit worse. But I just
Speaker 1: wanted to like terrorize a woman and hate her. And
Speaker 1: and because I can't talk to my mom that way,
Speaker 1: I can't be like fuck you, but like you feels
Speaker 1: like you could say fuck you to like your dad's
Speaker 1: new girlfriend, you know, and I I wanted to shout
Speaker 1: like you're not my real mom at someone, and sadly
Speaker 1: for me, they stayed together. Oh god, but yeah, that
Speaker 1: is when you're your parents are divorced. Did you did
Speaker 1: you have to meet a new dad's girlfriend type thing?
Speaker 1: Had you been on that side of things before?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yeah, My my stepmom was in the picture early on,
Speaker 3: and uh she was very different from my mother a.
Speaker 1: Little too early on, a little too early on, like
Speaker 1: before before things we even went down.
Speaker 3: I was trying to be careful about how I talk
Speaker 3: about it non podcast because I was like to open
Speaker 3: one time and it was they didn't appreciate.
Speaker 2: It comes back to get you, okay, But yes, uh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they just very very different households between my dad
Speaker 3: and stepmom's house and my mom's you know, growing up
Speaker 3: like my dad's house, it became very strict. It was
Speaker 3: like a little handmaid's tail sort of a vibe, and
Speaker 3: so I had a lot of resentment toward my stepmom
Speaker 3: and my dad when I was younger, and so the
Speaker 3: way that if his daughter feels negatively towards me, I'm
Speaker 3: always like I get it.
Speaker 2: I like, I've been such an.
Speaker 3: Unnatural thing, Like you don't think you're rooting for your
Speaker 3: parents to like fuck until they're fucking somebody else that
Speaker 3: isn't your mom, And then you're like, who is this?
Speaker 3: Like I don't like this, this isn't.
Speaker 1: Yes, Oh you mean you don't realize that you're rooting
Speaker 1: for your parents to fuck each other until they're fucking
Speaker 1: someone else.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yeah, you're always like roast out by that initially,
Speaker 3: but then when they are somebody else, are like, oh
Speaker 3: I don't want them to sleep with these other who
Speaker 3: are these people?
Speaker 1: It's so much grosser. Brian, you dealt with it too,
Speaker 1: were you was their initial like oh who's this woman?
Speaker 1: I hate her feelings?
Speaker 4: Well, my stepdad was the first person in the picture,
Speaker 4: and he was great. I mean I never got to
Speaker 4: say you're not my real dad. I just he was
Speaker 4: an amazing guy. And he was just an amazing guy,
Speaker 4: an amazing step dad, and he was like a second
Speaker 4: dad to me and my brother and my half sister,
Speaker 4: and I was just very pleased.
Speaker 2: That's great.
Speaker 4: I was just very pleased the whole time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I.
Speaker 1: Would have eventually gotten used to it, but at first
Speaker 1: it would have been be very hard. But yeah, that's
Speaker 1: there is a part of me that dreams of being like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm going to be a mom someday,
Speaker 1: but I would be like I think i'd be a
Speaker 1: pretty good step mom. I think I would be, like
Speaker 1: you're saying, empathetic about how this isn't easy and all
Speaker 1: those things. There's a part of me that's like holding
Speaker 1: on for that, like I don't know what could happen,
Speaker 1: Like maybe that's what I'll do in the future.
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's what is it. So where are you
Speaker 2: right now? I can tell you're on the road because
Speaker 2: you're in the classic hotel room set up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am in Tacoma right now.
Speaker 4: Oh, Spokane of the West, the.
Speaker 3: West, yes, so which I like this club so much.
Speaker 3: It's actually my home club that I was a house
Speaker 3: and there like twelve years ago. So it's so fun
Speaker 3: to go and do it now.
Speaker 1: But are you saying in the hotel that celebrates all
Speaker 1: the glass artists in town. You know, there's some Is
Speaker 1: that that is Tacoma, the one that's like the town
Speaker 1: of Glass, or is that's that's maybe that's the Gas
Speaker 1: Museum or something like that.
Speaker 2: There's some.
Speaker 1: Oh and in Tacoma is where they filmed that scene
Speaker 1: in Ten Things I Hate About You.
Speaker 3: The house is so close to hear you know, I
Speaker 3: have a rental bar. I should do that tomorrow. I've
Speaker 3: always you should.
Speaker 1: You should go to the football field where there's like,
Speaker 1: you know, the grand stand, like the stands where he
Speaker 1: does that I Love You Baaby and it's Heath Ledger
Speaker 1: running up and down like it's so iconic and it's
Speaker 1: such a cool looking thing. And I went there when
Speaker 1: I was in Spokane years ago. I went to go
Speaker 1: look at it. I ran over there and there were
Speaker 1: these two other women there and we were just kind
Speaker 1: of like looking at each other, like are.
Speaker 2: You here because Ten Things I Hate About You? And
Speaker 2: they're like yeah. People were like, oh, this is so random.
Speaker 1: Like you know, twenty three years later after that movie
Speaker 1: and and I've remained for those women were like what
Speaker 1: do you do?
Speaker 2: And I was like, I have a show tonight, you
Speaker 2: want to come.
Speaker 1: So they came to that show and they have come
Speaker 1: to every single show and that area for like the
Speaker 1: last eight years or whenever, however long that was. But
Speaker 1: I made friends that day. But yeah, that's a cool
Speaker 1: one to go see.
Speaker 2: I'm not someone.
Speaker 1: Who's like you're getting it in it, but if you
Speaker 1: have a car, you might as well.
Speaker 2: You reminding me.
Speaker 3: I mean, that is one of my all time favorite movies,
Speaker 3: and I've it's so I looked it up on Google
Speaker 3: Maps before and made a mental note, but I forgot
Speaker 3: until I'm back here now there.
Speaker 1: But yeah, hell yeah, okay, we're gonna go to break
Speaker 1: and come back.
Speaker 2: Right after this.
Speaker 1: So, Kelsey, you and your boyfriend you moved to where's
Speaker 1: he live?
Speaker 3: We live in Minneapolis now? Yeah, so wow, I've never
Speaker 3: done that. How's that before? To move? Yeah to Minnesota
Speaker 3: of all places? Like any time? Yeah, Like, well, you
Speaker 3: must really fucking love him because.
Speaker 4: That Do you have anybody out there? Any friends? Or
Speaker 4: I the closest person.
Speaker 3: And I shouldn't say it's it is nice now, I
Speaker 3: do really like it. It's not a buckle. But I
Speaker 3: moved there in January last year. It's brute like negative
Speaker 3: twenty five.
Speaker 4: Can ice fish.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're on the road so much, it's like
Speaker 1: probably hard to get friends. Like, yeah, you're serious when
Speaker 1: you say you don't have do you have like girlfriends
Speaker 1: that you've met on your own? Intel, Like, it's hard
Speaker 1: to meet friends as an adult in a new city.
Speaker 2: How the fuck do you do it?
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure you have friends that of his
Speaker 1: that you've met through him, but yeah, i've I mean,
Speaker 1: are you going to art classes on Monday nights?
Speaker 2: Like where are you going to meet some.
Speaker 3: It's so hard. I think it's hard just as an
Speaker 3: adult to make friends anyway, but this is an especially
Speaker 3: weird career to try to make friends, and because I'm
Speaker 3: gone all the time, and I think it's just I
Speaker 3: think it gets exceedingly hard to connect with people who
Speaker 3: aren't comedians because your job in your life are so
Speaker 3: specific that to like start from scratch with a new
Speaker 3: friend who's just like like works in a dental office,
Speaker 3: you're kind.
Speaker 1: Of like, oh, yeah, we're just honestly, I feel like
Speaker 1: a freak. Yeah, like a little bit, like you're just
Speaker 1: it's there's something elite us to being like it's hard
Speaker 1: for us to be friends with normal people.
Speaker 2: But it's not even that.
Speaker 1: I feel like like a night walker or something, or
Speaker 1: I feel like a like I come from the sewer
Speaker 1: system or something like I feel like I live, I
Speaker 1: live in a different world where we talk about things differently,
Speaker 1: we communicate more honestly and openly, and like, that's why
Speaker 1: I've drawn to autistic people right at the gate, because
Speaker 1: they're like they kind of operate on that honest level. Yes,
Speaker 1: I think maybe, but yet it feels hard for me
Speaker 1: to make friends locally, even though I know that I've
Speaker 1: so many people that listen to this podcast and they
Speaker 1: would be a great friend of mine, and most of
Speaker 1: my girlfriends are not comedians. To make new friends, though,
Speaker 1: I just feel like it takes unless I the only
Speaker 1: way I know I'm going to be friends with someone
Speaker 1: is if they're instantly like really fucking they share a
Speaker 1: weird thing or it's like and it can't just be like,
Speaker 1: don't try to just come up to me and say
Speaker 1: something weird and think we're gonna be best friends, Like
Speaker 1: it has to be like something there's just a moment
Speaker 1: where I just know, you know, and it doesn't happen
Speaker 1: that often.
Speaker 2: And then you have to nurture it.
Speaker 4: And yeah, you.
Speaker 1: Really have to like work on relationship, you know, friendships
Speaker 1: like relationships. You can't just like meet someone and then
Speaker 1: like once every six months hang out with a new
Speaker 1: friend that's not gonna take off. You got to like
Speaker 1: see them frequently.
Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, it's so hard. And I completely agree with
Speaker 3: what you're saying. Me saying like, oh it's hard to
Speaker 3: connect with somebody who's a dental Hygiennis isn't a dig
Speaker 3: on them. It's like a dig on me.
Speaker 4: Oh, I know, they're horrible. I mean, if you're trying
Speaker 4: friends with one of them, all they want to talk
Speaker 4: about is teeth. It's like, is there anything else going on?
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, their son is doing hockey this fall. Yeah, winter,
Speaker 1: and so they have to sign up for that. There's
Speaker 1: things that they're going on in the nose. No, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's there's just a different.
Speaker 4: What you're gonna have a hard time with. In my
Speaker 4: theory on friends, my circle of friends is my theory
Speaker 4: on friends.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he has another theory.
Speaker 4: I have another theory this. I know a little bit
Speaker 4: more offhand. Your core group is your second, your third
Speaker 4: circle of friends, and that's a group of people that
Speaker 4: you're friends with, mostly because of proximity and so, like
Speaker 4: when you're in a new place, like a new city,
Speaker 4: like you moved to Minneapolis, one of your primary goals
Speaker 4: if you're looking for friends is to find a core group,
Speaker 4: and those are people that you can consistently hang out
Speaker 4: with in the city you live in. You may not
Speaker 4: be friends with those people if you moved out of Minneapolis.
Speaker 4: Some of them you could, some of them can move up.
Speaker 4: But having a core group I found usually it's four
Speaker 4: to six people that you can consistently do things with.
Speaker 4: What are you doing on fourth of July? Like shit
Speaker 4: like that?
Speaker 1: Okay, here's I'm going to stop you. This isn't gonna
Speaker 1: happen for Kelsey and it's not going to happen for
Speaker 1: me because we're on the road from Thursday through Sunday.
Speaker 2: When we get home, we don't really.
Speaker 1: Want to hang out with anyone. Monday through Thursday, we
Speaker 1: don't really were You got your boyfriend, you got maybe
Speaker 1: his kids coming in, Like that's enough. It's enough for
Speaker 1: four days with the boyfriend and up being alone.
Speaker 4: You're not on the road every single most.
Speaker 1: Week, Yes, she is forever weekends, forever yes, forever.
Speaker 4: That times when you take off, They'll be times.
Speaker 1: When I'm taking off for the first time in fucking
Speaker 1: over a year and I'm going to Australia for the
Speaker 1: whole goddamn time. I'm not like hanging out in Saint
Speaker 1: Louis when you when we have to any time off,
Speaker 1: we go on vacations.
Speaker 4: Well, that's fine, it's this, You're right, it's a special circumstance.
Speaker 4: If you're never in the city, then I guess you
Speaker 4: don't really live there. I mean you have a home
Speaker 4: there that you go sleep in.
Speaker 1: That's kind of feels true sometimes, Kelsey, I'm sorry to
Speaker 1: say what I think you're experiencing. Does that resonate like
Speaker 1: when you're off the road, like don't you just don't
Speaker 1: want to do anything?
Speaker 3: Well, And it's tough too because Chad also is gone
Speaker 3: the same amount of time I am, so we're in
Speaker 3: a long distance relationships still half of the week. So
Speaker 3: then when we're home we're like trying to almost binge
Speaker 3: each other. It feels like and like pack in qual
Speaker 3: any time and suit. Yes, But then if I'm home
Speaker 3: for a weekend and he's gone, that is the time
Speaker 3: where it feels desperate. That's what I'm like, Fuck, like
Speaker 3: I really yes, But I have started to hang out
Speaker 3: a little bit with There are some comedians girlfriends who
Speaker 3: live there who and that's like a little bit even
Speaker 3: if they don't do comedy, they get that world and
Speaker 3: it's not has been an easier friendship.
Speaker 1: So like local comedians in Minneapolis their girlfriends.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that'll do.
Speaker 4: That does That's the makings of a core group right there. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you guys are going to be playing pick a ball
Speaker 4: enough time.
Speaker 1: I'm going like, I feel like most of you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like in Saint Louis, I don't have that
Speaker 1: many for I do like I have Taylor and I
Speaker 1: my my mom has turned into someone that I liked
Speaker 1: to No, Krystal lives in Kansas City, So yeah, most
Speaker 1: of my my all my best friends are on girls
Speaker 1: Chat and we're talking constantly on there, but face to face,
Speaker 1: it's like I don't have a lot of that. But
Speaker 1: tonight I am going on I'm taking my parents to
Speaker 1: dinner and then we're going to see Tim Dillon's in
Speaker 1: town and I'm so fucking excited because he's literally my
Speaker 1: favorite comedian right now, I like consume everything he does,
Speaker 1: and like I just randomly someone was like, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm going to see Tim Dillon. My friend Bobby
Speaker 1: ja Cox was asking me for tickets and I go, sorry,
Speaker 1: I want tickets now. You told me he was in town,
Speaker 1: and so I wrote Tim, and Tim's like, do you
Speaker 1: want to do a set? And I'm like, I guess.
Speaker 1: Like I I'm like, man, I gotta do a set tonight.
Speaker 1: Like I just wanted to like enjoy it, but you
Speaker 1: can't turn it down because I it's it's a great
Speaker 1: audience to be in front of and I and I'm
Speaker 1: such a Tim Dilan and it's such an honor to
Speaker 1: even you know, be on the stage stare stage with him.
Speaker 2: So I'm doing it, but like some nights, you're just like, man,
Speaker 2: do I have to?
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, I'm nervous and I'm like
Speaker 1: what am I gonna do? And it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: a seven minute set, but I am like, what's the
Speaker 1: best material for his crowd? Like I never overthink this shit,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh man, now I got to perform.
Speaker 1: But when I'm done, I'll be so excited to just
Speaker 1: watch comedy. I'm so excited to go to a show
Speaker 1: tonight and h and let loose because I rarely like
Speaker 1: go to shows. I just started going recently. Do you
Speaker 1: get to watch many of Chad's shows or do you
Speaker 1: ever go on the road with him if you're not
Speaker 1: working or vice versa.
Speaker 3: Well, everything you just said is I relate to it
Speaker 3: so hard. I went to a couple of his dates
Speaker 3: on the Bert Kresher tour over the summer, Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: and truly just went as like I just want to support,
Speaker 3: I just want to watch. This is such a cool opportunity.
Speaker 3: And then we get there and it's literally fifteen minutes
Speaker 3: before the show starts, and Bert's like, do you want
Speaker 3: to open the show? And I'm like god, because these are.
Speaker 2: Like I have to say yes, don't I do?
Speaker 3: An arenas yes, And I'm so type a like I'm
Speaker 3: never cool about anything. I can never just be yeah, sure,
Speaker 3: fucking that'd be awesome. I'm like okay, and then I
Speaker 3: immediately like almost shit, my pants had like ibs flare
Speaker 3: up and freaking out speaking the same thing man thinking
Speaker 3: where it's.
Speaker 2: Like, well that fits right in on the Bird Krasher tour.
Speaker 2: That yeah, that's his closer.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 1: That's Oh, that's so crazy, dude, that you got presented
Speaker 1: with that, because those are I've done those shows.
Speaker 2: They're not easy. A lot of them are outdoors.
Speaker 1: Everyone's drunk, and to open them, like when they're not,
Speaker 1: when it's still light outside, they're not. They're a tough crowd,
Speaker 1: I would say. And there's thousands of them. It's like
Speaker 1: ten thousand people sometimes, I mean fifteen twenty.
Speaker 3: I've you've been even close to that big of a
Speaker 3: crowd before. And so anyway, when you're just saying that, like,
Speaker 3: you don't usually get nervous, but when it's somebody else's
Speaker 3: crowd who like, dude, they're not going to see you,
Speaker 3: but you like, they're a great crowd, a great comic,
Speaker 3: you want to make an awesome impression. But yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3: of course you can't say no, I didn't.
Speaker 2: You can't say no I.
Speaker 1: This is the thing about this great career that we have.
Speaker 1: These great opportunities come up. Like I got asked to
Speaker 1: go to Steven Tyler's Grammy party this weekend. I had
Speaker 1: the weekend off, my first weekend off in Saint Louis
Speaker 1: in forever, and I had vocal cord surgery two years ago,
Speaker 1: and it's the same surgeon that did Steven's chords. So
Speaker 1: he like told Stephen about me, and somehow I got
Speaker 1: on some list. I don't even met Stephen Tyler, but
Speaker 1: I'm on some list where I got invited to this
Speaker 1: party and I swear to got it.
Speaker 2: Came in and I go, God damn it, why did they?
Speaker 2: Like I have to go?
Speaker 1: You can't not go to a huge celebrity party during
Speaker 1: the Grammys where the Black Crows are playing and there's
Speaker 1: like this celebrity auction. There's gonna be all this shit,
Speaker 1: so I'm like flying in just for that. But there's
Speaker 1: I think everyone can relate to, like like I'm going,
Speaker 1: but like I wish they wouldn't have asked, even though
Speaker 1: it's so cool, because it's just, you know, I hate
Speaker 1: having anxiety. I hate like setting myself up to be
Speaker 1: nervous about something. But like that's obviously why we got
Speaker 1: into this, is because it gave us some sort of
Speaker 1: thrill to overcome a fear of speaking in front of
Speaker 1: people and doing this thing that's very scary, and it's
Speaker 1: like we get high off of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I did it because I was ordered by a court.
Speaker 1: Actually people would rather do fucking anything than Can you
Speaker 1: imagine that would people that would really cut down on
Speaker 1: crime if one of the punishments was having to perform
Speaker 1: stand up comedy. I really think that would deter criminals
Speaker 1: because that is people's biggest views speaking.
Speaker 2: That would be That's a really good idea. Actually, noah, noah.
Speaker 1: If you were told that you would to do five
Speaker 1: minutes of stand up comedy at an open mic for
Speaker 1: Tim Dillon's crime, no, no, no, Tim Dillon show in front.
Speaker 4: Of forty hours of comedy.
Speaker 1: Service, idea, Yeah, and we do it voluntarily.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great career.
Speaker 3: Yeah oh yeah, that's right, and it was fun to
Speaker 3: offer and it ended up amazing. But yeah, it's just
Speaker 3: it is so much pressure with so little notice.
Speaker 1: And Bird is the king of like, yeah, we'll just
Speaker 1: do it, like who get Like yeah, it'll be fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah He's just like so like yeah, like it.
Speaker 1: You know, Bird is obviously he's a very type a
Speaker 1: person too in many ways, but there's also on that
Speaker 1: tour especially, there's just this casual, casualness and also because
Speaker 1: he's like the king of it, like you'd be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: run this part of my country. Who gives a shit
Speaker 1: like I'm the King, Like it wouldn't seem like a
Speaker 1: big deal. Final thought, it's also really helpful when you
Speaker 1: when you are someone who gets so nervous about something
Speaker 1: to have it just like you don't get to think
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 2: You don't have time, you just have to fucking do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good for you.
Speaker 2: Do you find that like it?
Speaker 1: After the do you do you find that you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm able to do it on the fly. Maybe I
Speaker 1: don't need to worry as much. And does it help
Speaker 1: you not worry as much or you stick to how you.
Speaker 3: Are it's not stuck. And it drives me crazy because
Speaker 3: I've like proven to myself like several times in this career,
Speaker 3: like you can do stuff under pressure, you can do
Speaker 3: stuff with little warning, and anytime an opportunity comes up
Speaker 3: that's high pressure. I still psych myself out the entire time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's just the natural thing to do.
Speaker 1: I agree. I'm just like I want to just like
Speaker 1: start like I just recorded this song this today. It's
Speaker 1: been all week, Like I was, I have a song
Speaker 1: that I'm putting at the end of my special and
Speaker 1: I couldn't afford to get a song that I like
Speaker 1: wanted because they're like thirty thousand dollars and stuff.
Speaker 2: So I was like, oh, I'll just write a song.
Speaker 1: And I just like kind of I as soon as
Speaker 1: I floated it, like would anyone let me do that?
Speaker 1: And they said yes. I'm like, oh no, I just
Speaker 1: I just burnt kreshured myself. I just steven tylered myself,
Speaker 1: like I just gave myself an opportunity that I can't
Speaker 1: say no to now, Like if I say no, then
Speaker 1: I'm foregoing this opportunity to grow and challenge myself. So
Speaker 1: I did it, and I had a producer fly in
Speaker 1: and we booked out studio time and I had I'm
Speaker 1: never home Monday through Friday, but I was this week,
Speaker 1: and so wrote this song and recorded it, and my
Speaker 1: vocals I'm just like, man, I'm just not I'm not
Speaker 1: where I want to be vocally to really nail this
Speaker 1: the one I want, the way I want to nail it.
Speaker 1: And part of me is like, well, then you should wait,
Speaker 1: like record like this, record the song later when you
Speaker 1: are trained vocally to be good enough, and then another
Speaker 1: part of me is just like, write another fucking song
Speaker 1: because I remember getting so many opportunities early on in
Speaker 1: my career and knowing that I sucked, like knowing I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm three years into comedy, I shouldn't be on last
Speaker 1: comic standing. But what am I gonna say no to that?
Speaker 1: Because I'm gonna be bad? Somebody trusted me to think
Speaker 1: I was good enough, and not that there's really there's
Speaker 1: someone in this scenario is just my produce producer and
Speaker 1: my friends being like, no, this sounds this is good,
Speaker 1: this is good enough, Like this sounds great?
Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: But it's just like you just gotta go, like, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm just gonna do my best that I
Speaker 1: can do right now, and there's something to glean from that.
Speaker 1: Like Taylor Swift does not sound vocally as strong in
Speaker 1: her first album at all.
Speaker 2: You're not even close to what she sounds like now.
Speaker 1: Now, would we tell her you should wait till you're
Speaker 1: thirty three, Well, then we wouldn't have the Taylor Swift
Speaker 1: we have now if she waited until she was and
Speaker 1: she probably got vocally so much better within a couple
Speaker 1: of years of that album. But she you gotta just
Speaker 1: you gotta just take some chances and throw some stuff
Speaker 1: out first and maybe not be as good as you
Speaker 1: hope to be, you know, like, not everything's gonna be
Speaker 1: at fucking ten. And sometimes you just gotta go, well,
Speaker 1: I don't have enough, you gotta Joe koy it.
Speaker 2: I don't. I only have ten days to prepare. But
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try my bath. And then I'm gonna blame it.
Speaker 1: On the background sometimes because if you look at the announcement,
Speaker 1: it got announced on December twenty six, so that's actually
Speaker 1: twelve days before it happened. And then you added to
Speaker 1: the fact that he probably got asked to do it
Speaker 1: a couple days before they announced it, so he probably
Speaker 1: had like fourteen days. And that's just I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: add that to the argument. We don't need to go
Speaker 1: back and bring up old stuff, but yeah you can,
Speaker 1: and that is nice. You can blame it on it
Speaker 1: sometimes and be like, well.
Speaker 4: Some people release our specials that aren't ready and then
Speaker 4: it hurts them like some sometimes it's like you probably
Speaker 4: should have waited a little bit longer before you did
Speaker 4: your first hour.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then you do not do not do it, I.
Speaker 4: Think so, especially if you're just releasing it yourself on YouTube.
Speaker 1: These days, well, Okay, that's different if you're if it's
Speaker 1: you that's telling you you've got this, But if it's
Speaker 1: some fucking network that believes in you or someone that
Speaker 1: believes in you, like, shouldn't you just try? And then
Speaker 1: if you fail miserably, go, you know what, well, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna fucking I'm gonna Taylor Swift and I'm gonna sing
Speaker 1: a little off key or whatever it was. I haven't
Speaker 1: even seen the performance at the Grammys. Uh, the first
Speaker 1: one she did, she got panned for it. And then
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take them saying that I should, that I'm
Speaker 1: a flash in the pan, and that I am not
Speaker 1: as good as people thought I was. And I really
Speaker 1: just I blew it on the biggest stage possible. And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna fucking be I'm gonna train so hard, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get so good, and I'm gonna come back and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna win a Grammy for a song I wrote
Speaker 1: about the fact that I was.
Speaker 2: Bad at one point.
Speaker 1: And you can do that, like, there's a way out.
Speaker 1: Even if you embarrass yourself so much, there's always a
Speaker 1: way to come out.
Speaker 2: If you're great, no one people might say, yeah, you
Speaker 2: used to be bad, but like, if you know one,
Speaker 2: like if we're.
Speaker 1: Talking about the same comedian I'm thinking about that, we
Speaker 1: might be talking about it who maybe got a chance
Speaker 1: too soon and released a special and everyone's like it's
Speaker 1: not as good as we all thought it would.
Speaker 2: Be that guy or a girl.
Speaker 1: But that guy can now go away and work so
Speaker 1: fucking hard and come back and be like, oh you
Speaker 1: thought I was bad, Yeah, maybe I was, But like
Speaker 1: he has ample opportunity to blow us away at some point.
Speaker 4: But he's not gonna and he's not gonna try, and
Speaker 4: he's not Taylor Swift. But he could, but he's not.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes he could.
Speaker 4: There's one Taylor Swift and this guy is not that.
Speaker 1: But you know it's just well, Brian, you just defeated
Speaker 1: my whole so you're thinking that like you should sometimes
Speaker 1: say no.
Speaker 4: Michael Jordan did it. Michael Jordan got cut from his
Speaker 4: high school basketball team, and then he came back and
Speaker 4: became the greatest of all time.
Speaker 2: He didn't get cut himself.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is like, do you turn down the
Speaker 1: opportunity to a special?
Speaker 2: I feel you're not ready.
Speaker 4: They asked Michael Jordan to be on the high school basketball,
Speaker 4: So he declined, he said, I'm not ready. I need
Speaker 4: to practice a little bit more. Have then he joined
Speaker 4: the Bulls a few years later. Have I declined things
Speaker 4: that I wasn't. No, of course not. You have to
Speaker 4: just go full hog into this shit and if you
Speaker 4: fuck up. But the problem with that philosophy is that frequently,
Speaker 4: I'd say, more often than not, you go, you fuck up,
Speaker 4: and you don't get another chance. You just like they
Speaker 4: just brand.
Speaker 1: Here's so many people who's but I would say, I
Speaker 1: would say, also if you try and then you or
Speaker 1: if you get asked to do something and you say no,
Speaker 1: you'll never get asked again. So there's like there's also
Speaker 1: that it's at least you did something, Like you know,
Speaker 1: my friend Tim, my boyfriend's brother, was like, you know,
Speaker 1: they were on the Tonight Show and he's like, that's
Speaker 1: the biggest thing I'll ever His band was on the
Speaker 1: Tonight Show in two thousand and eight, I think, And
Speaker 1: now he's comedian and the band you know, plays a
Speaker 1: little here and there, but that was like their big shot.
Speaker 1: He's like, that's the biggest thing I ever did.
Speaker 2: And they like.
Speaker 1: Fucked up a chord, like they played a different version
Speaker 1: of the song. It was like a thing, And I'm like,
Speaker 1: was was that discouraging? He's like, yeah, we kind of
Speaker 1: fumbled on the biggest thing we'll ever do.
Speaker 2: But it's like it's.
Speaker 1: Still the biggest, Like it's still the Tonight show. You
Speaker 1: can no one's talking about the before. You can't take
Speaker 1: that away. That person can always say I did a
Speaker 1: Netflix special and in twenty years no one will know
Speaker 1: what the quality of that was.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's just being able to say it and
Speaker 1: you can put it on your tombstone.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in two hundred years, were dead, and then in
Speaker 4: two thousand years, no one will know any individual person
Speaker 4: that existed.
Speaker 2: No one cares.
Speaker 1: Yes, you walk down the Hollywood Walk of Fame, you
Speaker 1: like every third star, you have no fucking clue who
Speaker 1: that woman is.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and then you try to Google it and
Speaker 4: it's like not even on Google.
Speaker 2: No, Google doesn't even know. Yeah, no one knows.
Speaker 1: And she was she was Angeline Jolie at some point,
Speaker 1: she was the biggest star of her time. Your grandmother,
Speaker 1: like you know, was obsessed with her and knew all
Speaker 1: about who she was dating.
Speaker 2: Like, but we don't care at all. And this is
Speaker 2: like this.
Speaker 1: Happens within twenty years. Yeah, so it all doesn't really matter,
Speaker 1: but then it all matters.
Speaker 4: So I think about like ancient Egypt, and they're like
Speaker 4: people who are really popular in ancient Egypt that everybody knew.
Speaker 2: Well, we're still we're still talking about Cleopatra and King tut.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all you know about are kings. That's all you
Speaker 4: do really know about is kings important politicians is what
Speaker 4: we know about throughout history.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like I don't know, I'm just I always
Speaker 1: get to this point where I'm just like, you get
Speaker 1: so jealous of someone's success or you get so discouraged
Speaker 1: about your own or whatever. And then there's the other,
Speaker 1: the other side of the coin, which is like we'll
Speaker 1: all be forgotten and none of this matters, and their
Speaker 1: life probably isn't as good as what you think.
Speaker 2: Like, I don't which is it. I really can't decide which.
Speaker 3: Everything was so fucking awesome the last few years. And
Speaker 3: it's like true, truly, nobody can never know unless they
Speaker 3: are really going log style on their life and showing
Speaker 3: you like crying from.
Speaker 1: Your I mean, and then and then no one really
Speaker 1: wants to see that, and they like like one post
Speaker 1: about it and they're like, you're so vulnerable, thank you,
Speaker 1: And then it becomes too much, and then you become
Speaker 1: kind of crazy, and yeah.
Speaker 4: I think there's only so much suffering someone can witness
Speaker 4: before they're like, I'm sick of this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's such a it's impossible to make it
Speaker 3: about it.
Speaker 1: But well, I hope you have good shows in Tacoma
Speaker 1: this weekend. I'm gonna have a great set with Tim.
Speaker 1: It's I can't believe my life tonight. I'm manifesting it.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
