It's the Nicky Glazer 0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:19.000 podcast here with uh Noah and Brian. Hello in Saint Louis. 0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:22.040 We're all remote. Happy New Year, good happy news. 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:23.919 You know, we didn't get to say that because so 0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:25.799 many things happened at the beginning of the year. They 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:26.840 were vulnerable and good. 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:27.600 Yeah. 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:29.400 Yeah, I don't think that Happy New Year to a 0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:32.200 single person. I don't think I said it to you 0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:33.080 on New Year's Eve. 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:37.320 That's crazy. I don't think we did. Now, how did 0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:38.479 you guys ring in the New Year? 0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:38.600 Like? 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:40.559 We were out doing sets that night, but then we 0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:43.440 called we were done by like I think ten forty five, 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.559 and then we went home the last that was at 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:47.479 the Comedy Store, and then Chris and I just went 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:51.960 home and watched Anderson Cooper and yes, Andy Cohen getting 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:53.880 drunk in Times Square. 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:55.400 That's the best way to do it. I think that's 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:56.800 the best of all those shows. 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.040 And we looked out the window and saw some fireworks 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.720 and I was just like, I thought, hate fireworks. I 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:04.440 think they should be banned. They're so disruptive to the world. 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.240 Everyone's stressed out by them. They remind you of They 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.399 either sound like gunshots or bombs yea. 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:10.319 Also fire. 0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:12.640 I mean this was before we were terrified of fire, 0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:15.160 I guess, but should have still been terrified of fire. 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:18.520 And also they are just bad for animals. They just 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.880 animals know that it's the New year, celebration of the 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.360 New Year, or fourth of July. They're not animals are 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:28.200 not festive. It's one of the worst things about animals. 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:30.279 And but the other. 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.600 Worst thing is that they're too stupid to know what's happening. 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.959 And they just are horrified. Whatever your dog does is 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:38.679 what a squirrel is doing. And they abandon their babies, 0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.320 and their babies starved to death, like it's it's terrible. 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.280 You guys just stop at the fireworks. 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:44.840 Just just can't. 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:47.360 Can't you just hoot and holler? Why do we need 0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:48.840 fireworks them? 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.800 The replacement for fireworks is thrones. Yeah and yeah, now 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.880 the fireworks are horrible, Like nobody the birds obviously don't 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:57.840 know that it's July fourth. Most of them are from 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.800 Mexico that are around here anyway, so they're not even patriotic, 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.720 and it's raised them all away and it's horrible. 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:05.080 We have immigrant birds. 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.000 All of our birds are pretty build. 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:11.000 That wall higher. They're definitely just flying over the border. 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.040 Yeah, it's just I hate fireworks and it sucks because 0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:20.480 Chris loves them so much and he's so patriotic, and 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.120 it's like a part of it's not even a part 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.079 of like his patriotism, but it is. He loves them, 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:28.160 and I think it's one thing that will destroy us ultimately. 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.440 It's like it's worse than like if he wanted babies 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:32.600 or something, and I don't like it's this will divide 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.280 us for forever because it's his favorite holiday, I think, 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.160 And I all I can think about is just animals 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:39.840 being scared and al's being like. 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.480 Whoo and like turning their heads all the way. 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.079 Around, being like where's that coming from, and then abandoning 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:46.400 their babies another baby starve. 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:47.639 It's the worst. 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.560 Chris has always said to me ever since I've known 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:51.440 him that he just wants to settle down with a 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:56.560 nice women and light some fireworks together, raise fireworks. I guess. 0:02:57.919 --> 0:02:59.919 I just I've always hated them. Even as a kid, 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:01.760 I was totally scared of them. I always felt it 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.919 was the I was embarrassed at how scared. 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:05.440 I was of them. 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.560 I just don't like loud sounds out of nowhere. I 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.280 hate balloons. I don't like when kids are playing with 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.280 balloons because I feel like they're gonna pop at any second. 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.200 I don't like a balloon just like kind of trapesing 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:17.360 across the ground, like I just feel like it's gonna 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.720 hit something. It's gonna pop, and then I'm gonna be scared. 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.000 I just don't like this scare. It's a jump stack. 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:24.000 I don't scare happen. 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.560 I don't like jump scares. Yeah, I hate balloons. I 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:31.480 love helium. I think that's a really fun part of balloons. Yeah, 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.480 I just don't like any I don't like loud noises. 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:37.480 I had pilates today and I really like this girl 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.080 who's the instructor, but she it was very loud and 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.280 I was plugging my ears as I was like doing 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:48.440 a uh lunge on this like equipment, and I was 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.160 I was hoping that might like catch on, like it's 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:52.960 too loud, But then I was like, no, I don't 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:54.600 need to be passive aggressive, and I just got off 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.440 the thing and I ran and got some tissue paper 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.400 and I just stuck that in my ear, So I've 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.000 never kind of passive aggressiveness that is, like solving my 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.120 problem and not making it her problem. 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:06.800 She still might have seen that and taken it as 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.040 a passive aggressive. 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:08.160 That's what I'm saying. 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:09.840 It was like, but at least I was doing a 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.320 thing for myself that was like sustainable and not plugging 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.840 my ears. And then after the class, she was passing 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:17.719 out the things to wipe down your thing, and she 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.400 very discreetly was like, you were amazing on the Golden globes. 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.200 You blew my mind so nice. 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.440 And I was like, you can scream all you want 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:25.640 for the rest of your life. 0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.600 You can get away with anything now, because. 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:30.719 She was passing things to wipe down the machines, and 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:32.159 You're like, I don't need any I have it in 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:33.240 my ears, and then. 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:35.840 I can just use this. 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.080 They sometimes they give me double because I sweat so much, 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:40.839 but I, yeah, I'm back at it. 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:41.719 That feels really good. 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:43.839 Can I go back to the fireworks just for a second, 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:44.520 because there's. 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:45.400 This go back forever? 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:49.000 Fireworks are also dangerous for the people lighting the fireworks. 0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.880 There's this famous incident from a football player a New 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:56.120 York Giant Jason Pierre Paul, who's going to be a 0:04:56.120 --> 0:05:00.400 Hall of Famer.

I don't like when 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.960 they shoot every different way. I like sparklers. They're tame, 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.039 they're quiet, they're gentle. 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:38.800 When I was in high school, they smell good. There 0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.080 was a couple of times, or maybe it was middle school, 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.800 where one of my friends got a load of fireworks 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.159 and then we would go into his backyard. We'd launch 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.920 them at each other, of course, you guys, yeah, which 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.280 was like I can't believe I didn't.

There's some hit When teachers are good, man, 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.760 it sticks with you. I saw someone recently who went 0:12:11.800 --> 0:12:14.960 to Kirkwoo High schol Oh when I was in Hawaii. 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:16.960 This guy came up to me and was like, he 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:18.880 was eating dinner next to us, and we kept hearing 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.120 their tables say Saint Louis, so we'd be like, what. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.080 And then he came up at the end of the 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:24.720 meal and was like, I'm sorry, I don't. 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.360 Even normally do this, but I was. 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.440 I just discovered you, like I knew about you, but 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.200 I saw the Golden Globes and I went on a 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:32.760 deep dive about you. And I was reading your Wikipedia 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:34.559 last night in bed with my boyfriend, and. 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.640 I guessed because I went to Kirkwood High School too. 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.240 Who I was like, oh my god.

We've talked about her best. 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.960 She's the greatest woman alive. I love her so much. 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.520 And she recently wrote to me because I had posted 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:04.440 about how being vegetarian isn't enough, like the egg industry 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.080 is disgusting, dairy industry is disgusting and like it's just 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.880 it's a nice step, but it's not. It's I wish 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:11.679 it were enough to is what I said. And she 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:13.960 wrote to my Instagram story and said, your sister taught 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.360 me this.

She abandoned her career because she 0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:41.000 just wanted to try something new at the age of 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:46.040 thirty nine, and she is now working at a I'm 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:47.400 not going to say the name of it, but like 0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:49.760 for people who want to redecorate their bathrooms, she's like 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:53.760 helping them design and decorate their bathrooms, which is like 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.000 she's so excited about it because she's like it's a 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.199 thing that people are so excited about doing, like when 0:13:58.240 --> 0:13:59.640 you get a new because she works at like a 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.360 nice place, right, so these people are getting like heated 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:06.719 floors and like a big tub and a cow rack 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:09.640 that heats the towels, and like really like a nice 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.960 basin and like a nice toilet that raises when you 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:17.040 walk in, like and so she's like helping people do 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:19.200 something they're so excited about, you know, which is like 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:21.320 it's a good point, and I'm so excited for her. 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.200 And she just started this new job and that's amazing. 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:27.200 Thirty nine to switch careers is like really difficult to do, 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:30.240 and yeah, be pulling it off and be happy. That's 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:32.720 a that's an incredible inspiring story. 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:34.760 It took a while, though, I will say that she 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:37.320 you know, she stopped teaching this past year. 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.000 In May was her last month. 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:43.320 And then she was looking all summer, looking all fall 0:14:43.440 --> 0:14:45.880 like trying hard and like managing being a mom for 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:49.000 three kids and feeling like this is all I do 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.560 now is these kids. And she was you know, did 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:53.400 a bunch of things around the house and she just 0:14:53.480 --> 0:14:55.560 learned that she was like I think I like interior design, 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.280 Like I think that's interesting to me. And she never 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:01.400 really even thought of exploring it before. But then she 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:03.240 was just like what could I do in this space? 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:06.760 And she met with Chris's mom, who's an interior decorator, 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.800 and she got really like a lot of help from her, 0:15:09.880 --> 0:15:11.600 Like she just asked around, like she just did it 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:14.040 the right way. Yeah, And she's so bold to like 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.960 take that risk. And you know, she went to school 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.280 for teaching. She got so many degree she as a master's, 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.920 she has, you know, like she put a lot into teaching. 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:25.000 And to just say, you know what, maybe I didn't 0:15:25.000 --> 0:15:25.520 pick the right. 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.440 Thing for myself. Now maybe that was right for me then, 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.040 and I it wasn't a waste. I taught for ten 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:35.280 years and you know, I'm ready to like I just 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:38.200 I know that not everyone has the opportunity to do that, 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:40.920 but I'm really it was inspiring to me. 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.400 I highly recommend for any anybody if they say it's 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:46.400 never too late. It is too late for some things, 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.760 like you can't be like a professional basketball player, you 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:51.960 can't even do I would even say, like you probably 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.160 shouldn't even do comedy if you're like if you're like 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.280 forty and you're like, let me try comedy, Like, I 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.680 think it's probably too late. Everyone always says like it's. 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:04.160 Gonna take years. Maybe you could be sixty. Yeah, it's 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:04.880 gonna take twenty. 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:07.160 It'll take ten years to find your voice, So by 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:08.160 fifty you could. 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:08.760 And you know. 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:12.200 What, give me an example of any forty year old. 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.040 Well, I don't think people do it, yeah, because there's 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:15.680 no examples. 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:16.880 I don't think it's possible. 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:17.960 Honestly, I would think you. 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.280 I don't think it's I really don't think it's possible 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:21.440 if you have kids and you want to be a 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.680 good parent and you want to be around. I truly 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:25.600 don't think it's possible. I don't think I would be 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:27.840 able to be this successful with kids. 0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:28.400 I just don't. 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.600 And I don't think it's possible if you're not obsessed 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:35.120 with it. Yeah, you just have to put in so 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:39.440 many fucking hours. But if you are someone who has 0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:43.560 kids that are like grown, I could see committing enough 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.040 time to it and becoming obsessed with it and getting 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:49.520 good enough that then you are an old comedian who's 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:51.800 like fresh on the scene, Like that's a thing that 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:54.320 people are interested in. If someone's like really good at 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:59.720 comedy and old you know, and like has a fresh. 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.800
