Speaker 1: The nick Nikki. Hello, welcome to the Nicky Gleanser Podcast.
Speaker 1: It is Tuesday. This is episodes one hundred and something.
Speaker 1: We don't we bypassed a hundred episodes, just blew past
Speaker 1: it and didn't even say. Someone wrote me congratulations and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, well, well thank you. I didn't
Speaker 1: even realize it. Um so yeah, I mean we started
Speaker 1: in March. That feels not that long ago. It was
Speaker 1: a you know, we that. The only problem with over
Speaker 1: a hundred episodes is people see that and go, oh no,
Speaker 1: I can't join in. There's been too much, and it's
Speaker 1: just like, get in here. We got a party going on.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter that you missed most of it, will
Speaker 1: catch you up. Come over here, do a you know
Speaker 1: what's it called? Like a I'm just picturing showing up
Speaker 1: at a party and being like, we'll get you wasted.
Speaker 1: You'll catch up with us, and then you pour um
Speaker 1: some kind of alcohol down an ice luge? Did you
Speaker 1: ever do those those shot luges at front parties? Like
Speaker 1: I've just did a funnel? Is that what it is? Um? No?
Speaker 1: But we well it's just a it's like you it's
Speaker 1: I forget what they call ice luge, but that's like, no,
Speaker 1: it's there's some kind of yeager luge. I don't know you.
Speaker 1: There's a big block of ice and they carve out
Speaker 1: little like runs and then they pour shots down it
Speaker 1: and then you put your mouth at the end of
Speaker 1: it and you just um end up getting date rapes
Speaker 1: later on. Um, I think that's how it ends. I mean, so, um, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's Tuesday. I'm wearing a shirt that's this plant based
Speaker 1: on it. And let me just tell you, already got
Speaker 1: a compliment on it this morning. I never have anyone
Speaker 1: go I like your shirt. No one ever says that.
Speaker 1: A very kind woman at Starbucks just goes like your shirt,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, another vegan bitch out there. Um
Speaker 1: felt good. That's why I where the stuff is, just
Speaker 1: to like find like minded people. And the shirt's reversible.
Speaker 1: I don't even think it's not. Noah, flip it around
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna wear the shirt tomorrow maybe and it's
Speaker 1: gonna say something else on the other side. I got
Speaker 1: it by from beat by beat b e et x
Speaker 1: b E t um. Yeah. I mean I researched cool
Speaker 1: like vegan shirts and I found some, so thank god.
Speaker 1: Um yesterday was really fun. I recorded a song It's
Speaker 1: in the It's in the bag. Um, it's so good,
Speaker 1: so excited onion. Matt Um we went to a studio
Speaker 1: here in St. Louis, Sawhorse studios, like actual recording studio. UM,
Speaker 1: and it's like, I don't know, man, it just made
Speaker 1: me feel close to uh, my my girl t Swift,
Speaker 1: because I was like, this is the exact process she
Speaker 1: goes through. Like there was nothing that wasn't the same
Speaker 1: as every mote like, um, it was just a place
Speaker 1: where you can make a dough bass album. I mean,
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift did folklore, recorded folklore in her bedroom, so
Speaker 1: like you can do one kind of anywhere. Billie Eilish
Speaker 1: famously did her first album or her debut. I guess
Speaker 1: the one that she wanted Grammy for that was in
Speaker 1: her bedroom. Um, but it was just done with a
Speaker 1: great sound engineer, Jason Um. On you and Matt. Matt
Speaker 1: wrote the song, and the song he wrote was based
Speaker 1: off of like he had heard about my life and
Speaker 1: like my um romantic issues via his girlfriend Anya and
Speaker 1: I had kind of like talked openly about it in
Speaker 1: front of him too, but not as much because I
Speaker 1: just try not to like burden that many people with
Speaker 1: that stuff. Um, but he's been around me because he's
Speaker 1: my tour manager and he watches all my shows on stage.
Speaker 1: And although I don't talk about like the thing that
Speaker 1: I kind of this song was written about that much
Speaker 1: on stage. Um, he was able to craft the song.
Speaker 1: And this it's weird because he wrote the song not
Speaker 1: he didn't tell me he was going to write it.
Speaker 1: He didn't tell Anya he was writing it about me
Speaker 1: or from my perspective. He just wrote the song. He
Speaker 1: played it for Anya. This is like a couple of
Speaker 1: months ago, and Anya texted me and was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, Nikki, I don't know what's going on. Match
Speaker 1: just wrote this song. And I've never heard her say this,
Speaker 1: and it's not because Matt's not a brilliant musician, but
Speaker 1: because he is Matt pond p A. She was like,
Speaker 1: Matt just wrote the song and I'm like crying. It's
Speaker 1: so good. It's just so beautiful. And I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, that's awesome. I want to hear it
Speaker 1: sometime and she goes, holy shit. And I was as
Speaker 1: we're like talking, you know, texting, She's like, he just
Speaker 1: told me it's from he wrote it for you, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, it was set up where you set up
Speaker 1: to go, like, I just heard this song and I
Speaker 1: love it. Oh, by the way, I just found out
Speaker 1: it's about you. Like Anna is not a liar, so
Speaker 1: like it really happened in that kind of Um, that's
Speaker 1: why I think she like she loved it so much
Speaker 1: was because it just um reminded her of probably me
Speaker 1: and and we have similar kind of attitudes towards love
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. So I think it I think
Speaker 1: that a lot of people are going to relate to it.
Speaker 1: And um, it's it's just he's such quiet. Matt is
Speaker 1: such a quiet, like introspective soul, and like doesn't really
Speaker 1: weigh in when I'm like lamenting about guys or whatever
Speaker 1: it is. He's just like quietly drives the van to
Speaker 1: the venue or what. You know. We're just but I'm
Speaker 1: always like chit chatting about stuff around him. And he
Speaker 1: just absorbed my feelings and put them into a song.
Speaker 1: And I heard the song and I start crying when
Speaker 1: she sent it because I was like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: like this is how I feel. And then I played
Speaker 1: it for Andrew. This is a couple of months ago.
Speaker 1: I played it for Andrew. It was just this raw
Speaker 1: sounding like just like kind of sloppy like death cabs
Speaker 1: like guitar and then like his voice over it. I
Speaker 1: played it for Andrew. I instantly figured out the chords
Speaker 1: and was like, I have to learn this song. I
Speaker 1: want to play this like I have to sing this.
Speaker 1: Then Andrew was like, Jesus Christ, that sounds so good,
Speaker 1: and so we started like listening to it all the time.
Speaker 1: And then Matt was like, why don't we record this song?
Speaker 1: Why don't you record this song? I would love for
Speaker 1: you to do that. We'll do it when I'm you know,
Speaker 1: on the road somewhere. We'll get a studio. And it
Speaker 1: just worked out that I'm doing this thing with a
Speaker 1: bunch of cameras following me around, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that'd be fun to actually have them document for who
Speaker 1: knows what. Really, we don't know what they're following me around.
Speaker 1: It's really undetermined at this point. They just started and
Speaker 1: I don't know even know what it's about. But we
Speaker 1: decided to like un out a studio and like and
Speaker 1: do it. And I think we would have done it
Speaker 1: even if there weren't cameras following me around like it
Speaker 1: was just something I've wanted to do. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: a little bit like, oh, I didn't write it, and
Speaker 1: I really wanted to write a song, but I got
Speaker 1: to sing on it. My singing is fine. I have
Speaker 1: a long ways to go. It's a perfect first attempt.
Speaker 1: Like the way it sounds. I was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: in two months, I'm gonna be like, oh, I could
Speaker 1: do such a better job because I'm going to singing
Speaker 1: lessons like twice a week now. I'm going to one
Speaker 1: right after this podcast, and I'm learning so many little
Speaker 1: tricks and things about my voice that will make it better.
Speaker 1: But I sounded pretty damn good, like I sounded all right.
Speaker 1: And then when you layer things like you don't realize,
Speaker 1: like so many singers, they just you hear their voice
Speaker 1: like ten times over itsself and reverb. We realize when
Speaker 1: you turn up reverb on your voice, it's like mascara.
Speaker 1: It like makes your voice hotter. It's like a spray
Speaker 1: tan for your voice. And so I put a lot
Speaker 1: of mascara and spray tan on my voice, but not
Speaker 1: really like it wasn't that it And usually I hate
Speaker 1: hearing my voice and that first it was kind of
Speaker 1: hard to hear the playback, and then I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: this actually sounds good. And then I started like before
Speaker 1: a lyric or before when we go back to a piece,
Speaker 1: and Anya was like coaching me through it all and
Speaker 1: being like, so maybe like don't take a sharp breath
Speaker 1: beforehand you're kind of adding um like that. We were
Speaker 1: actually doing a cover of Cruel Summer that we started
Speaker 1: on after we finished this song, so this song is
Speaker 1: called Endless Summer, and then we were also we're also
Speaker 1: going to do a cover of Cruel Summer, which is
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift song that Anya already has a cover of
Speaker 1: on Spotify. And there's like the first line is like
Speaker 1: fever dream High and the Quiet of the Night you
Speaker 1: know that I got it or something like that, and
Speaker 1: I was saying fever dream High and the Quiet of
Speaker 1: the Night, you know that I was doing Like she
Speaker 1: was like take out that just say you know that
Speaker 1: I got it, And it was so hard to do,
Speaker 1: Like there's little tricks like that that I just couldn't
Speaker 1: and then I was just like I can't do this
Speaker 1: song yet, like this is too much. The breathings all
Speaker 1: messed up. Um singings fucking hard. It's playing an instrument.
Speaker 1: It's hard. So I was able to put my ego
Speaker 1: on the side and realized that it wasn't gonna sound
Speaker 1: perfect perfect. I'm not as good as Matt or Anya,
Speaker 1: not as good as any of the people that I
Speaker 1: love their voices, even if they have like a weird voice,
Speaker 1: like even you know, Bob Dylan, Like these people have
Speaker 1: been doing it so long. I just started lower the
Speaker 1: bar and have some fun. And I did, and it's
Speaker 1: so good and we're gonna shoot a music video for it,
Speaker 1: and I can't wait to share it with the busties
Speaker 1: and put it on Spotify and have everyone download it
Speaker 1: because then I'm going to um hopefully like play it
Speaker 1: and like have people sing along and stuff. It'll be awesome. Noah,
Speaker 1: what book do you did? You just get out? Okay,
Speaker 1: So I was reading while I was waiting for us
Speaker 1: to set up this morning, and what you just said
Speaker 1: is something that I underlined in the book, which is
Speaker 1: about um learning, like being a good mentor and a
Speaker 1: good student. So um, all right, so I just want
Speaker 1: to read. It's called mentoring the Tao of Giving and
Speaker 1: Receiving wisdom. Oh, what made you pick up this book? Um?
Speaker 1: I really liked the Book of dou and I just
Speaker 1: want to I never learned how to learn or how
Speaker 1: to teach or receive information, so I thought this would
Speaker 1: be a good way applying something that I like. I'm
Speaker 1: loving the sound of everything you're just saying, but especially
Speaker 1: the sound of this book opening. Will you give me
Speaker 1: that again? Yes? Oh that's a sm R all over it?
Speaker 1: Is that a library book? Uh? No, it's a I
Speaker 1: found in like a bookstore. Does it have like a
Speaker 1: plastic covering on it? Yeahs Oh god, that's the best.
Speaker 1: You know, that plastic covering they put on library books
Speaker 1: that goes like crinkle like that is that's my jam
Speaker 1: a sm R. Okay, I am on board. Tell me
Speaker 1: what uh bestow to me what you learned about learning
Speaker 1: and about to teach me what you learned about teaching. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'll read it a little bit longer since you're so interested. Um, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: It asked us to admit that we don't know, which
Speaker 1: creates a sense of wisdom that never relinquishes itself to
Speaker 1: fix limited opinions about what should be. By acknowledging this emptiness,
Speaker 1: we which is you know, like acknowledging that we don't know.
Speaker 1: We enter into a communion with our partners, creating potential
Speaker 1: relationships of deep understanding and openness to vast growth and change.
Speaker 1: And then there's like a little um line over here
Speaker 1: that I highlighted. Those who know they know not become wise,
Speaker 1: those who presume they know much stay ignorant. I mean
Speaker 1: that's it, man, I mean that's like, that's everything. That's
Speaker 1: every time you enter an argument with someone where you
Speaker 1: know you're right, that's you're not. It reminds me of
Speaker 1: an an your lyric it's hard to be wrong, worse
Speaker 1: to be right, stuck in the middle of Like I
Speaker 1: was listening to that song the other day and I
Speaker 1: was like, it is it sucks to be right when
Speaker 1: you go I know I'm right, you know, And I
Speaker 1: always say that about being vegan, like we were right.
Speaker 1: It's that's not a good place to be in because
Speaker 1: you're you're stuck and you you're not open to any
Speaker 1: You have to be open to even wrong opinions. Those
Speaker 1: make you richer and make you smarter and maybe even
Speaker 1: you know, help you grow your own Maybe you don't
Speaker 1: even change your point of view you learn new ways
Speaker 1: to prove your point of view because you hear more
Speaker 1: wrong or whatever, Like you have to be open to everything.
Speaker 1: And I don't know, people always say, like, that's an answer.
Speaker 1: You don't have to always say yes and no two things.
Speaker 1: And this almost comes back to when people want you
Speaker 1: to ask you to go to a thing and you
Speaker 1: agree to do something that you don't want to do,
Speaker 1: or maybe in the moment you want to do it,
Speaker 1: and then you get to it and you go, oh god,
Speaker 1: I don't want to do that, and then you make
Speaker 1: up being sick or something, and then you lie and
Speaker 1: it just turns into a whole thing. I don't know
Speaker 1: is an answer, And you could say that and I
Speaker 1: there's so much freedom and I don't know, you know,
Speaker 1: like that that buys you a lot when I go
Speaker 1: off on these you know, rants on stage about relationships
Speaker 1: and monogamy and how it's not natural and you know,
Speaker 1: orgasms ruined relationships and blah blah blah blah blah, and
Speaker 1: I always, you know, I always say, I've only read
Speaker 1: a third of these books. I am not that's smart. Um.
Speaker 1: And I also like, I what did I do yesterday?
Speaker 1: That everyone was like that's so embarrassing that you thought, oh,
Speaker 1: the yard thing, like I thought a yard, a yard
Speaker 1: was metric was the metric system? Listen, you should be
Speaker 1: taking any kind of scientific advice from someone who thought
Speaker 1: a yard was in the metrics like that. That right
Speaker 1: there shows you. I'm I'm right about the fact that
Speaker 1: I don't know she diddlie squat, but I do. I
Speaker 1: love that I got to read that book. I'm reading
Speaker 1: Zen Guitar, which I don't know if the Dow and
Speaker 1: Zen are like connected, but I might be someone who's
Speaker 1: like my friend Robin Tran has a joke about her
Speaker 1: girlfriends parents are like, Robin Tran is uh transgendered. Uh,
Speaker 1: she's a woman, really funny comedian. Uh. You can go
Speaker 1: to I think it's Robin Tran on on Instagram. She
Speaker 1: posts stuff all the time. But she did this joke
Speaker 1: about her girlfriend's family, and I think she's Vietnamese. I
Speaker 1: could be wrong about that. I don't know, and I
Speaker 1: admit ignorance about what what um but she you know,
Speaker 1: Robin Tran is um Asian, but her and it would
Speaker 1: be the same as if my parents. She she's definitely
Speaker 1: not Japanese and her girlfriend's parents brought her to a
Speaker 1: sushi restaurant to be like, is this what you like?
Speaker 1: And she's just like, sure, you know what? Close enough
Speaker 1: that is? Wait, I forget what my point was about that,
Speaker 1: but oh, Zen and Zen and now like that could
Speaker 1: be like sushi and Vietnamese And I'm like, it's the same,
Speaker 1: right is it the same? Is it in the same gene.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's the same. I think it's a
Speaker 1: little bit. Okay, yeah it might be completely different, but um,
Speaker 1: I'm again I don't know. But anyway, I'm reading the
Speaker 1: Zen guitar thing, and it's just about like you know,
Speaker 1: when you pick up your guitar, like like there's no tech.
Speaker 1: The teacher in this book is just like this isn't
Speaker 1: gonna be like a technical approach. We're not gonna learn scales.
Speaker 1: You're just gonna learn about how you have a song
Speaker 1: in your soul and this is like you need to
Speaker 1: bring it out and it's all about spirituality. And that's
Speaker 1: how I want to approach playing guitar. Like for like,
Speaker 1: when you pick up your guitar, you pick up that guitar,
Speaker 1: you don't just you think about it when you pick
Speaker 1: it up, you think about this. No matter what you're playing.
Speaker 1: If it's like a you know, a box with like
Speaker 1: a little chord on it and you're just drumming that
Speaker 1: that is your instrument. Think of it like, no matter
Speaker 1: how shitty your instrument is, that think of it like,
Speaker 1: this is my tool to communicate. Um. And I like that.
Speaker 1: I got a new guitar teacher and she's very technical
Speaker 1: and but also she was just like, yeah, you can play,
Speaker 1: but I want to know, like what's a trick to
Speaker 1: playing a bar chord so my finger doesn't hurt and
Speaker 1: my holding the pick the right way? She's like, I
Speaker 1: don't care, like hold it however you want. I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna teach you about like music theory. So I actually
Speaker 1: I think she's onto something. Um And I've never had
Speaker 1: a female guitar teacher, and that is a breath. I've
Speaker 1: had like five guitar teachers in my life, all men,
Speaker 1: which great, But there's something about like this, Uh what
Speaker 1: older woman who just like loves guitar loves tea chang
Speaker 1: And she came over to my apartment the other day
Speaker 1: and we had a good old time. Mean Carol, you
Speaker 1: know when you get assigned a teacher named Carol. You know,
Speaker 1: you know what, a young lady ain't showing up. We
Speaker 1: need to bring back Carol, right, Carol is a good name.
Speaker 1: I like, there should be like it. I hope my
Speaker 1: sister when she has her baby names at Carol, it's
Speaker 1: like a Christmas Carol. Like, yeah, it's a cute little
Speaker 1: it's a cute name for a baby. I love babies
Speaker 1: with old people's names. All right, let's bring in Andrew.
Speaker 1: Let's get him on this conversation. Alrighty, hey, Andrew, So
Speaker 1: I was just how did you sleep? By the way,
Speaker 1: I slept pretty good. I did wake up in the
Speaker 1: middle of nine and crash some pizza. Yeah, pizza in
Speaker 1: the dark, baby, And that should be the name of
Speaker 1: my what album folk? It's in the dark? I mean
Speaker 1: that is that would be a hit. And that's like
Speaker 1: not a joke, Like that's a fucking hit. Pizza in
Speaker 1: the dark with you on a Friday. Now, I'm living life.
Speaker 1: I'm doing it my way. I'm eating this pizza in
Speaker 1: the dark. You used to be here. There's more from me,
Speaker 1: but is not clear. Springsteen is dancing in the dark. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but pizza in the dark. I just picture a guy
Speaker 1: like who used to like eat pizza with his girlfriend.
Speaker 1: It was like a fun thing they did where they
Speaker 1: like make pizza late at night, and now it's like
Speaker 1: this depressing thing, like she's not there and he gets
Speaker 1: more pizza and he always gave I always gave you
Speaker 1: that extra slice that I wanted for myself. Now I
Speaker 1: get to eat it and I feel bad about myself. Yes, yes, yea,
Speaker 1: um yeah, pizza in the dark, let's put it. It
Speaker 1: was Yeah, it was dope. It was. It was a
Speaker 1: fun experience. And you know you do that and then
Speaker 1: you wake up in the morning and you go to
Speaker 1: that Did I eat five in my sleep? Yeah? We had.
Speaker 1: We went to dinner last night and you just brought
Speaker 1: some homes some pizza and then you yeah, I'm impressed
Speaker 1: you didn't finish it before you went to bed. Usually
Speaker 1: when I bring them leftovers, Let's be honest, I'm they're
Speaker 1: gonna get eaten right away, or I'm going to leave
Speaker 1: him at the restaurant, So I just don't. I just
Speaker 1: clean a plate. Man. You know, we have cameras following
Speaker 1: us around for some reason. Well, last night when they
Speaker 1: were filming us eating, I was a little bit like
Speaker 1: because I eat. I got a pizza and then I
Speaker 1: just eat the toppings because I get it with no cheese,
Speaker 1: and I just like veggies and sauce, Like give me
Speaker 1: a plate of veggians and sauce, and I know that's
Speaker 1: probably like wasting the crust, but sometimes crust is delicious.
Speaker 1: This one wasn't that good, so I took I looked
Speaker 1: at the crust. It wasn't And they originally put cheese
Speaker 1: on my pizza because I forgot to say no cheese,
Speaker 1: like an idiot. And so they made it and we
Speaker 1: kept it and we paid for the one that they
Speaker 1: accidentally made. But they made another one and they rushed
Speaker 1: it and it just wasn't cooked as well because they
Speaker 1: were rushing it. Right, So I just ate the sauce
Speaker 1: and the veggies and just part of me, like my brain,
Speaker 1: it's a weird thing to do. It's just like, eat
Speaker 1: the sauce and the veggies on top of the pizza. People.
Speaker 1: Most people would be like, just sauce and veggies, Like
Speaker 1: that's so gross. Why do you like that? I just do.
Speaker 1: I just do. You know, I don't need I'm I'm
Speaker 1: kind of a low carb kind of gal. I I
Speaker 1: have carbs when I want them. I wasn't. This wasn't
Speaker 1: a real This crust wasn't good enough for me to
Speaker 1: have the Carbie carbs. Do you feel waste for Do
Speaker 1: you think it's just weird what you just said, Hey,
Speaker 1: let me get veggies with marinair sauce. I mean, why
Speaker 1: is that not an option? Should be? It should be?
Speaker 1: But you know I wanted the crust. If it was
Speaker 1: gonna be good crust, I didn't know. And it's just
Speaker 1: it's too much to explain. And also, are you worried
Speaker 1: how you're gonna see on camera? That's what I was saying,
Speaker 1: it was, I was. I'm generally me a year ago,
Speaker 1: two years ago would have eaten two slices, even though
Speaker 1: like it wasn't what I wanted to do. And then
Speaker 1: I maybe would have like like when they when I
Speaker 1: thought someone else was talking and the camera would be
Speaker 1: on them, I would have eaten the like toppings off
Speaker 1: here and there. I get what you're saying that the camera.
Speaker 1: Like midway through dinner, I realized I was eating like
Speaker 1: I eat yeah, like you forget the cameras are there?
Speaker 1: You know your boy goes after the hummas And I
Speaker 1: get hummas on my fingers and then I'm looking my
Speaker 1: I'm sure it looks like going to see that are
Speaker 1: really disturbing. But you know, like that dinner though, I
Speaker 1: was with you, Kirsten and Chris my Axe, and like
Speaker 1: if everyone those people accepted me for how I eat,
Speaker 1: like and if I don't need anyone else's and my
Speaker 1: parents definitely do. I don't need anyone else's acceptance about
Speaker 1: how I eat. I just if these people can see
Speaker 1: how I eat and still like me, I'm good to go. Look,
Speaker 1: you know the person that eats a sandwich and they
Speaker 1: make like my mom used to make every sandwich and
Speaker 1: open face sandwich because you didn't want double the carbs.
Speaker 1: And it's a little weird to see the whole saying,
Speaker 1: like you're seeing what's inside you end let's be honest,
Speaker 1: you end up eating the whole thing, but you kind
Speaker 1: of separated. It's so funny when you split the sand
Speaker 1: I used to you know, eat six inches and put
Speaker 1: in the fridge for three hours later twenty minutes later, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm eating. Yeah, Like when you I've seen you like
Speaker 1: eat the toppings of like the like I did, like
Speaker 1: eat the toppings and then you eat the crust, and
Speaker 1: it's like you carve the dough before the crust, so whatever.
Speaker 1: But I'm saying there's millions of people that will make
Speaker 1: an open face sandwids that are kind of weird and
Speaker 1: picky how they eat, and we don't all eat like
Speaker 1: or something, so it's like, who gives a fuck. There's
Speaker 1: no way that I'm not going to have weird food
Speaker 1: things with what my life used to be with regarding food,
Speaker 1: and now that I actually feed myself and I'm never
Speaker 1: starving myself, I'm never trying to, like I'm never I
Speaker 1: never eat four a for for um so that I
Speaker 1: don't so that I'm not fat or so that I
Speaker 1: stay stay. I'm just eating because it's like what I want. Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I said, I don't like carbs because carves make me
Speaker 1: just feel like I'd rather have something else in that stead,
Speaker 1: but that tastes better to me than like carves. Like
Speaker 1: I know, carbs will fill me up and then I'll
Speaker 1: be like, oh I got filled up with that crust
Speaker 1: that wasn't even that good. Like I just always want
Speaker 1: what I want to to get the amount, and I'm
Speaker 1: not trying but even so that I'm I'm not ever
Speaker 1: trying to be to eat to lose weight or to
Speaker 1: manage my weight, and I'm just eating for enjoyment. Um.
Speaker 1: I like weird fucking things, and I like eating the
Speaker 1: toppings off a pizza. And then I at the end
Speaker 1: of it, I stacked all of the because it just
Speaker 1: looked weird with it just looks kind of gross with
Speaker 1: this like kind of picked apart pizza. So I took
Speaker 1: all the slices and stacked them on top of each
Speaker 1: other so it would just be more consolidated. And then
Speaker 1: the guy came over again. It was just like, what
Speaker 1: is this And I was just like, I don't know.
Speaker 1: That's like when you eat one bite of peas and
Speaker 1: then you put them you like spread them apart to
Speaker 1: make it look like you ate more. Look watching Love
Speaker 1: on the Spectrum last night, Love on the Spectrum, the
Speaker 1: guy loving his dinosaurs, the girl or the one loving
Speaker 1: the swords or whatever, the girl, and they all have
Speaker 1: these who they are, and there's God, we could all
Speaker 1: be so lucky to have that kind of freedom of
Speaker 1: like they weren't ever trying to look a certain way
Speaker 1: for the camera. Like sometimes you go sometimes you watch
Speaker 1: the show and you get nervous for them because you're
Speaker 1: like they're they're they're so nervous. It's like they feel
Speaker 1: nerves because they like want something to go the way
Speaker 1: they want it to. But they're never trying to look
Speaker 1: a certain way or get a false y thing out
Speaker 1: of someone. It's just so beautiful, very pure, and it
Speaker 1: makes me like, Okay, you know, here's something that I
Speaker 1: like to do, or here's something I don't know. You
Speaker 1: just feel more appreciative of like why you like and
Speaker 1: being okay with that. And I think that we can
Speaker 1: learn from that. We talked about that on the show
Speaker 1: last night, Like I did not like just the things
Speaker 1: you feel that you like that you you can't help
Speaker 1: what you like and and sometimes you know that goes
Speaker 1: into some illegal territory. I would even say those people
Speaker 1: can't help what they like, and that doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: they should be able to do the things that they like,
Speaker 1: but that they should be able to actually tell someone
Speaker 1: that they like those things and find a way to
Speaker 1: manage it. Like I like smoking all day, Yes, but
Speaker 1: that's and that's okay that that's what I like to do,
Speaker 1: because that is giving me something that I can't I
Speaker 1: can't help that I like that. There's no I don't
Speaker 1: get to choose that I like that. No, no one
Speaker 1: would choose that a meth addict love smoking meth. They
Speaker 1: didn't get to choose that they like meth. And you
Speaker 1: might think it's a choice, but it's just not like
Speaker 1: that's no one once no one signs up for life
Speaker 1: and says, of all the things, I want to do that,
Speaker 1: And you could argue, but they chose to do math
Speaker 1: at one point. But it's even that they didn't choose
Speaker 1: to have the to you know, no free will DM
Speaker 1: me if you want to look into it. But I
Speaker 1: we talked about last night. I really didn't learn until
Speaker 1: the age of like thirty, that feelings we're not something
Speaker 1: that you have a choice of. No what did you
Speaker 1: did you ever feel guilty for your feelings? And by
Speaker 1: the way, feelings not just being like I'm scared of this,
Speaker 1: or I don't like this, or um, I'm mad, but
Speaker 1: like what you were saying of like autistic people on
Speaker 1: the show, they like dinosaurs. There's a thirty year old
Speaker 1: man who loves dinosaurs and says, I want to honor them,
Speaker 1: these great beasts that walked, these magical beasts that walked
Speaker 1: to earth. I honor and love them and pay respect
Speaker 1: to them for what they've for the how they want
Speaker 1: to the world. And it was just like a lot
Speaker 1: of us are made to feel guilty for having chow
Speaker 1: hood uh like obsessions and likes as an adult, Like
Speaker 1: you have to grow out of them, and you don't
Speaker 1: have to grow out of them. They could just be
Speaker 1: part of your life, but you don't have to. Like
Speaker 1: those things made you so happy and fulfilled, don't throw
Speaker 1: them away. Don't put him in a box in the garage.
Speaker 1: Take your dinosaurs out of the garage and put him
Speaker 1: in the living room. And if your if your husband
Speaker 1: divorces you because of it, or your wife leaves you,
Speaker 1: you got the dinosaurs to you know, you're watching with
Speaker 1: your pizza in the dark. Yeah, like the childhood things
Speaker 1: like making you happy. Chris even on the show last night,
Speaker 1: was like, oh my god, I just he has like
Speaker 1: race car pictures in his bedroom. Ronan on the show
Speaker 1: and Chris is like, I just bought that same exact
Speaker 1: race car pantwer from my and I was like, I
Speaker 1: am so glad you did that, because that is kind
Speaker 1: of a childish thing to do. Is have a picture
Speaker 1: of a race car. But if it makes you fucking happy,
Speaker 1: just do it. If it brings you back nostalgia, Yes,
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson went a little far with the I'm living
Speaker 1: in a like a boy and I'm making my life
Speaker 1: a child's life. If you if there was all the
Speaker 1: things that you allegedly did were not true. It's fine
Speaker 1: that he liked kids stuff. This is why people love
Speaker 1: sports because you get to hold onto your tea ball
Speaker 1: days and you just buy another guy's jersey and you
Speaker 1: wear them for the rest of your life and no
Speaker 1: one questioned you. Because that sports, you can love your
Speaker 1: team until you're ninety eight. Don't you dare have a
Speaker 1: poster of in Sync on your wall or a poster
Speaker 1: of Mahomes or whatever? You know, like you can't still, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can't have a poster, but you should be able
Speaker 1: to know. It has to be a fat head now
Speaker 1: because those are for adults. You know, what do you?
Speaker 1: What do you think about all this? One thing that
Speaker 1: I learned um from a relationship book called Getting the
Speaker 1: Love You Want. Oh that's another one that everyone tells
Speaker 1: me changes everything. But an important thing that I learned
Speaker 1: is that as adults, we look to complete our childhood
Speaker 1: and I think that can be applied to many things.
Speaker 1: So for me, all the like sports and stuff that
Speaker 1: I had, my parents didn't really invest in me. Um,
Speaker 1: I get to do as an adult and I get
Speaker 1: to try them all over again. But I'm in control
Speaker 1: of the situation and I think it's brought me a
Speaker 1: lot of enrichment to my life. I love that and
Speaker 1: we we did talk about that with you of like
Speaker 1: why are you going what do you what are you
Speaker 1: doing riding horses? Like where did this come from? What
Speaker 1: do you even linking wrestling late in life? Like these
Speaker 1: are things that you were didn't maybe you have exposure
Speaker 1: to early on that would have Like I would say
Speaker 1: with Taylor Swift, it would have served me so much
Speaker 1: to have her in high school. And I'm making up
Speaker 1: for lost time. I'm healing that fifteen year old that
Speaker 1: needed that emotional support. And oh my gosh, I have
Speaker 1: so much to say real quick. Um, oh gosh, what
Speaker 1: was I going to say about this, the sport thing
Speaker 1: that you're going back and doing. Um? Well, I actually
Speaker 1: I had a teacher right to me this weekend. Well,
Speaker 1: I had a bunch of weird things happen this weekend
Speaker 1: with teachers. We gotta get to the news. But like,
Speaker 1: first of all, my my favorite teacher of all time, um,
Speaker 1: Mrs Madam Calfiss the Um she's still at Kirkwood High School.
Speaker 1: She teaches alongside my sister. Um. She uh wrote to me.
Speaker 1: I asked her to come to the show this weekend. Um,
Speaker 1: because all the cameras following me were like, he is
Speaker 1: there anyone from your past that would be cool to

Speaker 1: Like she means so much to me. She's come to
Speaker 1: a bunch of my comedy shows. She's you know, works
Speaker 1: with my sister. She's still like in my life, sees
Speaker 1: my instagram, makes hard eyes on things. And um, she
Speaker 1: couldn't go because she was going to Brandy Carlisle that night,
Speaker 1: which like what a cool fucking woman. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: if anyone is going to trump my show, it's old
Speaker 1: BC Brandy Carlisle, who I met at the I Heart
Speaker 1: Awards because I sat next to her wife, uh in
Speaker 1: Usher's little circle. Um, I was sitting after this woman
Speaker 1: who was very nice, but I thought she was like
Speaker 1: a publicist and I had been done. I'm done with
Speaker 1: my delivering my um doing my part that I was
Speaker 1: nervous out and then I'm like, I'm just here to

Speaker 1: only interaction I've had with Brandy. But she was in St. Louis.
Speaker 1: The same guy as my show, Madam Calfis went to

Speaker 1: she could go. She goes, um, I give an arm
Speaker 1: and a leg to come see you, my dearest Nicky.

Speaker 1: Carlisle tickets tomorrow night. I will definitely be in the
Speaker 1: front row next time. So cool that you have a
Speaker 1: bunch of cameras following you. That's what she said. That's
Speaker 1: what she didn't say, but something else, love you. She goes,
Speaker 1: love you twee, which, by the way, in French we
Speaker 1: got to make up it like when you got to

Speaker 1: like Spanish. Yeah, I was Kiki Twee because I liked
Speaker 1: both the name Kiki because it was like, I'm like

Speaker 1: I didn't get I didn't read this until it's coming
Speaker 1: home from my show. She goes, give give them heck tonight. Nikki,
Speaker 1: you are a courageous, creative soul. Your path is glamorous,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure it's not always easy at heart. I
Speaker 1: know you are the girl who loves animals and the
Speaker 1: bird you had in high school, and your family and
Speaker 1: bringing joy and laughter to the world. Thank you, And
Speaker 1: I said, I want to get that fucking tattooed on me.
Speaker 1: Thats the one, But yeah, that would be dope. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's great that you connected with a teacher like that,
Speaker 1: and dude, you kind of forget, like we forget that
Speaker 1: the teacher like we're their stories, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like she is proud of you, like you were like
Speaker 1: connected to her, like we forget. You know, it's like
Speaker 1: anything you just see your teachers. That's a teacher that's
Speaker 1: not even a human, but they're on the other end
Speaker 1: being like I taught Nikki, she was this. I saw
Speaker 1: this about her. I knew that Okiki Twee would be
Speaker 1: selling out, you know, the factory. She You know, I
Speaker 1: got interaxia, like right when she very French, I don't know,
Speaker 1: just being skinny, like you smoke a cigarette. Second shirts
Speaker 1: with horizontal stripe and not so I feel like, you know,
Speaker 1: like frenchman with the black and white stripes, you know, horizontal.
Speaker 1: Um so uh no, she she was on bed rest. Mine.
Speaker 1: I only got into AP French because I was sucked
Speaker 1: at French, terrible at it always a struggle. I only
Speaker 1: did AP French because she was the teacher. Then we
Speaker 1: start school and she is pregnant and she gets bedridden
Speaker 1: and so she can't even teach us. We get a
Speaker 1: new teacher who was also pretty good. But I only
Speaker 1: wanted Madam Calfis like she was like I was like
Speaker 1: kind of in love with her, like really really needed her.
Speaker 1: She was around on love happened. Then she got bed rest. Okay,
Speaker 1: so like right after our senior year started, boom, she's
Speaker 1: gone in bed. That child is now like twenty right,
Speaker 1: but um she came back. She after she gave birth.
Speaker 1: She came back in at the very end of the
Speaker 1: year she took all the AP French students out to
Speaker 1: Macaroni Grill and we had I had not seen her
Speaker 1: since back in September before she left, and by May
Speaker 1: of two thousand two, I was like on my way
Speaker 1: to death, like I was. I I remember we went
Speaker 1: to Macaroni Girl and I mean, this comes back around.
Speaker 1: This is so weird. Sorry, no one will get in news.
Speaker 1: I ordered pasta like it was Macaroni Girl. There was
Speaker 1: nothing on the menu that I could eat as an antirectic,
Speaker 1: like literally nothing. I was freaked out about it. And
Speaker 1: I remember telling the waiter can you put no oil
Speaker 1: in it? Like I was so scared of oil, so scared.
Speaker 1: I was like can you just do because I was
Speaker 1: scared of fat because pasta didn't have fat, but like
Speaker 1: oil and I was like no oil. And I just
Speaker 1: remember her like kind of seeing through it and being
Speaker 1: like okay, like and I just remember being like, oh no,
Speaker 1: she knows, and like she I just don't want her
Speaker 1: to think less of me, and she knows I'm up
Speaker 1: to something, and I like, I think I really like
Speaker 1: shut her out after that, But she always was the
Speaker 1: one that made me feel like like okay about being
Speaker 1: who I was and like liking the things I liked
Speaker 1: and being bad at front and that it was hey
Speaker 1: and that I was still like, you know something I
Speaker 1: could get good at. It's really weird because I just
Speaker 1: started watching a SMR videos of women talking in French
Speaker 1: because there's something so soothing about the woman who was
Speaker 1: like amazing me like talking and it's like, oh, maybe
Speaker 1: I can start French again, so I might do that. Um,
Speaker 1: let's get to thank you for letting plife. I saw
Speaker 1: Brandy Carlisle, she's saying with John Prine. She was so
Speaker 1: fucking good. Start Alive, Yeah, Stergill Simpson, then Brandy Carlisle
Speaker 1: and John She came out and sang with John Prine.
Speaker 1: What a concert that was by my favorite concerts. She
Speaker 1: she's incredible. I gotta get into her more, but it's
Speaker 1: just so hard for me to get into new music.
Speaker 1: That's gonna help. Okay, let's get to the news first.
Speaker 1: I have like, do you ever get muscle spasms? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I have a muscle spasm, and really I feel my
Speaker 1: body twitching and I'm like, oh my god, it's like
Speaker 1: a little aliens. It's almost like a baby's kicking in
Speaker 1: my eye. You know what that's that's I'm gonna change
Speaker 1: my thought process because I have. That's better though I
Speaker 1: feel like it's not up to me, but it's like
Speaker 1: right next to like kind of where my heart is.
Speaker 1: So the old Andrew would go, is that my chest?
Speaker 1: Or is that my heart not beating correctly? I think
Speaker 1: you're in love, miss Brenna much new episode of Puddles
Speaker 1: with Puddle Andrew's Andrew's podcast if you want to check
Speaker 1: it out him and um Brenna his girlfriend or she
Speaker 1: might be the new permanent co host. Honestly, okay, thank
Speaker 1: you so much and have all the swells. Good job.
Speaker 1: Not drinking enough water probably causes the little baby muscle
Speaker 1: spasms you know us might leave you with less energy.
Speaker 1: Brain fog affect your focus, so you're breathing in heart
Speaker 1: rate maybe faster than normal. You can overheat and you
Speaker 1: might feel confused or cranky. We you know you're supposed
Speaker 1: to drink six glasses of water per day. How much
Speaker 1: water do we drink? Nick, dude, I'm not even joking you.
Speaker 1: Some days zero zero I got. I mean it's in
Speaker 1: the spin drift I'm drinking. It's sparkling water listen if
Speaker 1: if my body needed I listen to what my body needs,
Speaker 1: and sometimes it does fucking need water and I chug
Speaker 1: some water. I'm I'm in tune. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: be one of these people that I used to chug
Speaker 1: water so I could just get it in because I
Speaker 1: knew it was gonna be good for my skin. I'm
Speaker 1: not doing that anymore. I'm just if my body needs it,
Speaker 1: I'll get it. I will be more mindful of that
Speaker 1: and like, but I trust now that I like putting
Speaker 1: things in my body that feel good. And I'm not
Speaker 1: going to beat myself up anymore about the not getting
Speaker 1: enough water. I can't do it because then I start
Speaker 1: drowning myself with water and I feel sick. Yes, you
Speaker 1: can overdo it. Mick Jagger was really chugging it down
Speaker 1: the other night, and it was like I was film it,
Speaker 1: Like he would show up on the big screen like dancing,
Speaker 1: and then they would go over to Keith Ridgards and
Speaker 1: that's when he would go for his water bottle, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, I want to know what water bottle he
Speaker 1: has because it looks so efficient and cool. I feel
Speaker 1: like he is probably insanely ain't all about what he
Speaker 1: puts in his body. Because you said ain't I got yeah.
Speaker 1: I can feel that I'm ain't all about what I
Speaker 1: put in my body too, because he wants to still
Speaker 1: be Like there's something about a seventy eight year old
Speaker 1: man that still wants to look sexy. Like telling you
Speaker 1: every person and that god damn building googled Hick Jagger
Speaker 1: age Mick Jagger health regimen. I learned that he runs
Speaker 1: up to eight miles a day. He eats, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean this is what this is what Bruce Springsteen does.
Speaker 1: He comes home from concerts where he performs for four
Speaker 1: hours with like four encores and then runs five miles
Speaker 1: on the treadmill. Uh, cooks up a delicious meal like
Speaker 1: he just is one of these hyper productive, like go
Speaker 1: go go clean eating people. And I feel like if
Speaker 1: we I was talking to Kristen about it last night
Speaker 1: eight and her whole I love Kirsten's method or her like,
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to bring her to the world if
Speaker 1: you heard her, like you get it. She's just like
Speaker 1: an amazing person to put in front of these cameras
Speaker 1: that are following me around to show someone who I
Speaker 1: always projected so much perfection on because she does have
Speaker 1: a perfect body in quotes, perfect hair, perfect skin, like
Speaker 1: every she just is like a happy person, like you're
Speaker 1: just like God. She just is kind of perfect, and
Speaker 1: it can be eared. It used to really bother me
Speaker 1: and make me so jealous and feel a lot of
Speaker 1: like self hatred because I couldn't be her no matter
Speaker 1: how hard I tried, even though she brought me so
Speaker 1: much joy, there was always this like subconscious like resentment
Speaker 1: that I couldn't be her. But now it's like I
Speaker 1: was talking to her or I heard her talking to
Speaker 1: someone about how she trains people, and it goes to like,
Speaker 1: she's a she's one of the best trainers in America.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm, I would I would venture to guess she
Speaker 1: climbed the ranks of this really prestigious UM Health Center
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, the best gym in Kansas City, very
Speaker 1: you know, expensive to join. She's the most one of
Speaker 1: the most expensive trainers definitely in UM Kansas City. And
Speaker 1: she um what she does. She's not telling people what
Speaker 1: to eat and like you gotta count your macros and
Speaker 1: you gotta get this much in and and if you
Speaker 1: don't do this, you're wrong. She was like, I'm the
Speaker 1: kind of trainer that's going to tell you not what
Speaker 1: to eat, how many carbs, how many like milligrams of
Speaker 1: this protein powders to do, but like read a read
Speaker 1: a book before you go to bed, go to bed early,
Speaker 1: wake up early, journal, like wear clothes that feel good
Speaker 1: on you. And but we're at the same time, she
Speaker 1: totally works, like she's a genius when it comes to
Speaker 1: fitness and what to do. But she's never going to
Speaker 1: tell someone they need to lose weight or they need
Speaker 1: to get abs or you know, because that's that's not sustainable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's interesting, like how you set a goal, Like what
Speaker 1: your goal is? Someone goes, well, my goal is I
Speaker 1: want to see four, all five, six of my abs.
Speaker 1: That's my goal. It's like, you know, when what's that
Speaker 1: quote where you like if you build a house, but
Speaker 1: then if you build like a synagogue or a church,
Speaker 1: there's more passion behind it, you know what I'm talking about?
Speaker 1: Like no, but but like it gives whoever is building
Speaker 1: it a reason to build it. Right, These people like
Speaker 1: instead of like just focusing, I have a I have
Speaker 1: a trip coming up, and I need to get in
Speaker 1: shape for it. No, it's more about being like healthy
Speaker 1: and balanced eight year old man counting macros. Give me
Speaker 1: a fucking break. No, I honestly think I bet he
Speaker 1: does things that feel good for him, Like I bet
Speaker 1: eight running eight miles for him is not like, oh,
Speaker 1: I gotta get up and do it because I want
Speaker 1: to look a certain way. It's like, this helps me
Speaker 1: perform with the energy that I like. That makes me
Speaker 1: the happiest. Like and maybe you can argue it makes
Speaker 1: me happy to have abs, okay, But when your abs
Speaker 1: go away, when you're an older person, or let's say
Speaker 1: you get into a car accident and you're in a
Speaker 1: wheelchair and you can't have abs, or your your limbs atrophy,
Speaker 1: are you gonna be okay? Is that? Are you gonna
Speaker 1: kill yourself? Like? Or what? When your happiness and your
Speaker 1: self worth is wrapped up in those physical things. And listen,
Speaker 1: I'm not free of the burden of self obsession and
Speaker 1: body image. But I just know that when I hear
Speaker 1: a trainer tell a woman who's pregnant on the fucking
Speaker 1: stair climber next to me, um that she needs to
Speaker 1: start eating. He was. I remember he was describing a
Speaker 1: smoothie that she she should have for two of her meals.
Speaker 1: And I was like, that's smoothie is less than two
Speaker 1: hundred calories, like I know. And I just said, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: she's pregnant and you're making her do a workout right
Speaker 1: now where she's already burned two so all her whole
Speaker 1: her lunch is two D And he goes, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I was I talking to you, and I go, no,
Speaker 1: but I can't help but hear that you're advising a
Speaker 1: pregnant woman to restrict her new tril ship. Like what
Speaker 1: the trainers that come from that perspective? That's when I
Speaker 1: would hide in the bathtroom then there for twenty years
Speaker 1: of and I just want other people to give up this,
Speaker 1: like diet culture. What about this though? Mick Jagger or Turkey?
Speaker 1: Are you ready? Oh yeah, let's play Mick Jagger or
Speaker 1: Turkey an impression and it's either a Mick Jagger impression
Speaker 1: or a turkey. Um, definitely a turkey. No, that was
Speaker 1: Mick Jagger. Okay, okay, do it. Let's do it again.
Speaker 1: That's a turkey. That's a fucking turkey again. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: last one, here we go you could try, Okay, one more,
Speaker 1: that's I mean a hundred percent Jagger, Yes, got it? Wow,
Speaker 1: it was Mick Jagger the whole time. What would turkey
Speaker 1: look like if you did it? Though? I guess you
Speaker 1: got to keep playing the game. I just you know
Speaker 1: what it's to be sassy turkey, turkey that got pardoned
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving by the president. Like that just comes back
Speaker 1: to the rous, Like you know that was going to
Speaker 1: be our bird for America. The turkey, it's could be
Speaker 1: so much smarter than the eat. Did you know the
Speaker 1: velociraptor was really the size of a turkey? That actually
Speaker 1: blew my mind? Yeah? I knew. I knew about it
Speaker 1: from Reddit. Hey, um Andrew? Uh? Next news story? Water,
Speaker 1: I gotta I have to drink more water. But guess
Speaker 1: what I get to drink more water if I want to? Well.
Speaker 1: A part of the article said that um seltzer could
Speaker 1: be counted as water. Hold on, you just quickly see
Speaker 1: before Andrew moves on sparkling water. Fruit tease without sugar
Speaker 1: can also be another healthy way to increase water comes Okay, well,
Speaker 1: guess what old canhead is going to keep on sipping
Speaker 1: the seeds? I do ate zv as a day at
Speaker 1: least those are there, Seltzer, you'd be dead if you
Speaker 1: were drinking water. People, someone send me. It's like stevia
Speaker 1: is bad for you. Will someone send me? Like why?
Speaker 1: Or if you're a company out there, can you just
Speaker 1: send us a lot of water zvia? What what are
Speaker 1: you doing? Every single photograph I have myself has a
Speaker 1: zvia in my hands. You should literally be the head
Speaker 1: of their company. I shouldn't invest because it's delicious. And
Speaker 1: I met a guy on the road who goes When
Speaker 1: I saw Zevia was on your writer, I was like,
Speaker 1: that's my girl. I'm going to enjoy this girl. And
Speaker 1: are you addicted to And he was like, oh, I
Speaker 1: go through like forty cans in like three days. Like
Speaker 1: he was like, he's worse than me. I mean, people
Speaker 1: love Celsius because we talked about I think we talked
Speaker 1: about it more than Zevia. But if if you want
Speaker 1: to drink, that is going to change your life and
Speaker 1: get you addicted. And it's kind of expensive though. Ginger
Speaker 1: rupier is my jam, so is the cream soda? Okay?
Speaker 1: At edna uh an edna woman, I don't know what
Speaker 1: edna means. I don't know what. Actually, it's probably like
Speaker 1: a small town and from wherever this local news story. Yes,
Speaker 1: this woman who wanted what if? Her name was Edna?
Speaker 1: Some woman, a woman Natum wanted to spend more time
Speaker 1: with her boyfriend, but she was arrested after she directed
Speaker 1: two separate bomb threats to where he worked. So he
Speaker 1: worked at a factory. She wanted to hang out with
Speaker 1: him longer, so she made bomb threats. Talk about love.
Speaker 1: I mean, was he in on this? Like you know,
Speaker 1: I don't think so, Jeff. His whole office had to
Speaker 1: be evacuated. They lost a lot of money for her
Speaker 1: to get some dick for another two did how much
Speaker 1: of Bachelor in Paradise did they get through together? Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what she wanted them? You know what?
Speaker 1: Like like how do you get to that? I'm not
Speaker 1: kidding you, Like no, I thank you for choosing this,
Speaker 1: Like I want the I want my partner to be,
Speaker 1: you know, my best friend, like someone that you know,
Speaker 1: not the same best friend that is my best friend
Speaker 1: or Andrew's my best friend. But I want someone around
Speaker 1: that I can like that I love being around, and
Speaker 1: that will be around me as much as possible because
Speaker 1: I want. Yeah, I want like a life partner, and
Speaker 1: I want someone who because I make enough money, I
Speaker 1: just feel like for two people and I don't plan
Speaker 1: on really having kids. I don't want them to really
Speaker 1: work unless the work they do brings them immense joy
Speaker 1: and doesn't cause them stress outside of work. Like I
Speaker 1: don't want someone and if they're working a factor, like
Speaker 1: if we're working a job that doesn't bring them joy,
Speaker 1: get out of that. Just come on the road with me,
Speaker 1: or you know, you don't have to be on the
Speaker 1: road with me. But like, if let's say that they
Speaker 1: were like you and they liked golfing, I'd be like,
Speaker 1: just go on the road with me and just go
Speaker 1: golf during the day and then come to the shows
Speaker 1: at night and hang out with me and my friends,
Speaker 1: and yeah, I love you. Know, work really does take um.
Speaker 1: If you're dating someone who like is gone a lot
Speaker 1: working or their job, it's it's hard because you want
Speaker 1: if they don't like their job, you want to change
Speaker 1: it for them, But then they also just want you
Speaker 1: to listen. They don't want you to like try to
Speaker 1: fix it. But they end up working with these people
Speaker 1: that they work with that drive them crazy because you
Speaker 1: hear about them just as much. But have you ever
Speaker 1: heard this? This was an interesting thing that I remembered
Speaker 1: from a book called The Dance of Anger that I
Speaker 1: made my ex boyfriend listen to. Yeah, that's getting in it. Um.
Speaker 1: It was called Dance of Anger, and we audio booked
Speaker 1: it on our cross country drive when we moved from
Speaker 1: New York to l A. And I don't remember anything
Speaker 1: from this book, But the other day he reminded me
Speaker 1: of something that when someone is getting angry about something,
Speaker 1: like say, I'm bitching about um, like I was supposed
Speaker 1: to get this pet like today when I was like,
Speaker 1: there's all these boxes and I don't know what to
Speaker 1: do with all of them. When you go, god damn it, Yes,
Speaker 1: why are these books? When you join it, you it's
Speaker 1: it takes away my feeld, Like you, there's only it
Speaker 1: when when when your partner gets angry, listening is so
Speaker 1: much better than joining in and adding to it. Not
Speaker 1: because it adds to the fire, but because that person,
Speaker 1: that person's anger is their own and let them have it,
Speaker 1: and it's best for you and them to not I
Speaker 1: forget how he phrased it with my ex boyfriend. So
Speaker 1: what should you do listen, okay, bitch to me? No, no,
Speaker 1: go ahead, go ahead, talk about the boxes. What should
Speaker 1: I do? You said you talk about you be me
Speaker 1: these fucking boxes. I keep getting boxes. I don't know
Speaker 1: what to do. It's piling up. I gotta bring it
Speaker 1: the recycling. I don't understand why I need more things.
Speaker 1: I don't need more things. It's really, it's so that
Speaker 1: sounds so frustrating. I really I relate to feeling that frustrated.
Speaker 1: You don't think I need to make a switch, though,
Speaker 1: I feel like I gotta stop ordering things. Obviously I'm
Speaker 1: just a idiot. I think I don't think you're an idiot,
Speaker 1: and I think you should just I think, you know,
Speaker 1: just feel this feeling, and maybe it'll lead you naturally
Speaker 1: to doing the right thing instead of beating yourself about
Speaker 1: what you should be doing. I feel like you you
Speaker 1: definitely did this for a reason, and it'll you'll you'll
Speaker 1: figure you'll you'll be okay. But I totally understand your
Speaker 1: frustration right now and I and now that we shouldn't
Speaker 1: do okay, fucking boxes are piling up. I just can't
Speaker 1: keep boarding stuff. I mean, it's I when I ordered,
Speaker 1: they're they're everywhere. That's a huge mass. And then your
Speaker 1: hands get all dry when you break down the boxes,
Speaker 1: and like you, then you your cuticles start ripping, and
Speaker 1: then you start picking up those because you're because I
Speaker 1: keep watching you rip out your cuticles and you're bleeding
Speaker 1: all over our apartment and it's just there's blood on
Speaker 1: the cabinets. But that's kind of fun to double up
Speaker 1: on the blood on the cabinets and us I mean pizza.
Speaker 1: K Yeah, yeah, there is. My baby left me because
Speaker 1: she said there's no spark. Let's take a quick break
Speaker 1: and come back with why do I get all? Right? Andrew?
Speaker 1: Why do I? Why do I care? I think you're
Speaker 1: gonna care about this one? Okay. Will Smith told his
Speaker 1: life coach he wanted a harem of girlfriends in his
Speaker 1: late or in his twenties. He loved the idea of
Speaker 1: traveling with twenty different women that he loved and took
Speaker 1: care of. He also admitted to being attracted to Halle
Speaker 1: Berry and the ballerina Misty Copeland. I remember seeing Mr
Speaker 1: Copeland as one of these women that he wanted in
Speaker 1: his harem. Yeah, he's had the process of speaking about
Speaker 1: it had him realized that thoughts were not sins, and
Speaker 1: even acting on impure thoughts didn't make him a piece
Speaker 1: of ship. There, you, he can't help how he feels.
Speaker 1: He wants a fucking arem. He wants a hare m
Speaker 1: that doesn't make him a bad person. His actions uh
Speaker 1: to acquire that harem could lead to things that would
Speaker 1: make him feel like if he decided to do an
Speaker 1: R Kelly and have you know sex slaves because R
Speaker 1: Kelly wanted the same thing, right, Yeah, maybe in a
Speaker 1: different way, but like he went about that, he he didn't.
Speaker 1: He didn't have the same introspective R Kelly got to
Speaker 1: hear him, Like how that lady got her husband to
Speaker 1: hang out with her more, Yes by calling bomb threats.
Speaker 1: Now Will Smith can do a year way by just
Speaker 1: working six jobs and being able to for him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well that's true. Yeah, that wants to get to work. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to Will Smith's autobiography, which is
Speaker 1: called Will and Neil Brennan. My friend was posting about
Speaker 1: how Will was the one that exposed him to ayahuasca,
Speaker 1: and Neil actually has shared with me a really interesting
Speaker 1: video that um he had been interviewing Will for something
Speaker 1: I don't even know what. But this was years ago.
Speaker 1: And you know, Neil's a name dropper. Whenever I'm around him,
Speaker 1: he's always telling me about what famous person he knows.
Speaker 1: He's friends with the most famous people ever. He's just
Speaker 1: he just has that energy. And I love Neil and
Speaker 1: I love his special three mix on Netflix because it
Speaker 1: talks about how he's he likes, you know, saying that
Speaker 1: he's friends with famous people and like because it gives him.
Speaker 1: I like that he's admitted like Instagram, like he's like,
Speaker 1: I've got into iwasa and here's why. It's because of
Speaker 1: Will Smith. But it's true, like but he but he
Speaker 1: shared a video with me of Will Smith talking about
Speaker 1: um success and I'll never forget that. He said that
Speaker 1: Will had a crisis or some something of this sort
Speaker 1: of like, once you've climbed Mount Everest, if that's what
Speaker 1: you always thought would make you happy, what there's not
Speaker 1: a taller mountain. There isn't enough. If mountaineering is your thing,
Speaker 1: and you could go, well, you could go to Space
Speaker 1: that's on a mountain, right, you could climb, but you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, you can bring a pack of
Speaker 1: sexy Sherpaz with you next time. Um, yeah, that's so funny.
Speaker 1: Um Mr Copeland might do a little couple of pleas
Speaker 1: on but but no, but they have an open relationship
Speaker 1: him and yeah. But I just remember him saying that
Speaker 1: on that clip that that um Neil shared with me,
Speaker 1: of having a crisis of like when you've achieved everything,
Speaker 1: which he will Smith had. I mean, I didn't win
Speaker 1: an oscar, but who cares? I mean, like maybe that
Speaker 1: did you take away from it? I took away from it.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna know. I'm not going to know that
Speaker 1: feeling till I get there, but I do know that
Speaker 1: it's true. Like I know that success does not bring happiness,
Speaker 1: like whatever we're going after, Like it just showed me that. Someday,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I hope to understand that because obviously I
Speaker 1: want to have all the successes and every childhood story
Speaker 1: that reached the highest high popularity, I mean track records
Speaker 1: not good. Well, Like I was talking to my mom
Speaker 1: about all these cameras around us, uh the other day,
Speaker 1: and she's, you know, concerned of how she's going to
Speaker 1: come across the same way that I would have been
Speaker 1: concerned about how someone's gonna see me eating that pizza right,
Speaker 1: eating the toppings off. Yeah, and she's worried about her
Speaker 1: gait and in fact that she doesn't have one, and
Speaker 1: that the yard looks like ship NICKI and bah bah bah,
Speaker 1: And I go, mom, I totally understand this feeling, right,
Speaker 1: I like boxed her, like a pile of boxed her.
Speaker 1: I go, I get this feeling. I've been there. Let's
Speaker 1: follow it out. Like and then what I did with
Speaker 1: the pizza things last night, I'm like, Okay, if someone
Speaker 1: judges me about it, I went through all of this
Speaker 1: in my head. I'm like, what are they gonna say?
Speaker 1: What are they going to think? Well? Well, and I
Speaker 1: was just like, wait a second. All I want in life,
Speaker 1: everything that I've ever wanted is love. I want money
Speaker 1: so I can secure. I want I want security, I
Speaker 1: want to feel safe, and I want love. Right, But really,
Speaker 1: all of this fame searching is about It's not so
Speaker 1: much about security because I'm financially secure, I should just stop. Then,
Speaker 1: It's about love, right and acceptance. The people at that table,
Speaker 1: I was like, are my truest loves of my life? You,
Speaker 1: cur Sston and my ex boyfriend Chris, Like these are
Speaker 1: the people that like and I my mom and dad.
Speaker 1: They couldn't be there, but like there, I know that
Speaker 1: they love me no matter what I could do anything.
Speaker 1: I've eaten really weird things in front of them, and
Speaker 1: I go, Mom, who what's when you get insecure about
Speaker 1: something that you don't want to show the world. And
Speaker 1: this is to everyone, like think about like what's your
Speaker 1: biggest fear? What are they going to think about you?
Speaker 1: And I go, do you? Does you having a messy
Speaker 1: storage room? I mean that you're like, what does it
Speaker 1: mean about you that I'm lazy? She goes that I'm
Speaker 1: lazy and I was like, wow, Like that is my
Speaker 1: biggest fear in life, is that people think I'm lazy,
Speaker 1: which is ironic because that's the thing that people tell
Speaker 1: me more than anything, is that how hard I work?
Speaker 1: And I hear that over and over and it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter how many times people tell me it. I still
Speaker 1: have a fear that I'm tricking you into thinking I
Speaker 1: worked hard. It's a magic trick and it's light of hand,
Speaker 1: and I'm actually lazy and you don't know that I am.
Speaker 1: I've now accepted, like, I'm not lazy, and when I
Speaker 1: am lazy, it's self care. I stay in bed all
Speaker 1: day and and and so I told my mom, you're
Speaker 1: not lazy. She goes, and I go, I guess you
Speaker 1: could argue, well, then why don't you clean the storage closet.
Speaker 1: If it needs to be cleaned and you don't clean it,
Speaker 1: that's probably lazy. And I go, because you wanted to
Speaker 1: watch a Housewives marathon instead of that. And she goes,
Speaker 1: I don't watch housewives. And I go, it's just an example.
Speaker 1: Whatever you did instead of doing that, you could lead
Speaker 1: you to believe like that. Like let's say you did
Speaker 1: something entertainment value that wasn't important. I go, your hang
Speaker 1: out with your nephews or your grandkids. Yeah, I go.
Speaker 1: I went to the Rolling Stones concert the other night
Speaker 1: instead of working on my act for my special. I
Speaker 1: should have been home, probably working on my jokes. If
Speaker 1: you really, if you, if you, if you think my
Speaker 1: my my special is like the storage closet, and it's like,
Speaker 1: well guess what, and she goes, no, you, that is
Speaker 1: not the same as me laying on the couch watching TV.
Speaker 1: That's the Rolling stands, And I go, it's all the same.
Speaker 1: It's entertainment. It's not necessary because what it is you
Speaker 1: whatever you. And I always teal this to people when
Speaker 1: they just feel bad about Oh I'm fat. You not
Speaker 1: choose to be fat. You did not press a button
Speaker 1: and go I want my thighs to look like this
Speaker 1: or whatever you're thinking about that day. You didn't choose
Speaker 1: for your storage closet to be a mess. It's a
Speaker 1: mess because you prioritize other things. Now we're the other
Speaker 1: things you were prioritiz prioritizing um that that special. Were
Speaker 1: they spending times with your grandkids? Maybe not. Maybe it
Speaker 1: was doing something like binging your kitchen cabinet and that
Speaker 1: made you fat. And now your storage closet is is full.
Speaker 1: And also you're you're feeling fat because you ate too much.
Speaker 1: You ate pizza in the dark. Well, guess what you
Speaker 1: needed to you could. You had to have that pizza
Speaker 1: in the dark because you were feeling feelings that if
Speaker 1: you would have not had the pizza in the dark,
Speaker 1: and you would have gone, I want it so bad
Speaker 1: because I don't like this feeling. It's gonna go somewhere
Speaker 1: else the next day and it's gonna be more. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of pizza in the daylight. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, so, just forgive yourself for having
Speaker 1: a sturtary storage closet. Think about who are you so
Speaker 1: scared is gonna see this thing about you? And what
Speaker 1: are they going to think? And if they think that,
Speaker 1: what's going to happen? And are the people at your
Speaker 1: table the ones that love you? Are they judging you
Speaker 1: for your storage closet? Because I bet they're not like
Speaker 1: the people that you are closest to. You can be
Speaker 1: yourself around and if they don't shut out their love
Speaker 1: for you because of that, then then let the world
Speaker 1: see who you really are and maybe accept yourself. It
Speaker 1: really like dawned on me last night with those cameras around,
Speaker 1: being like, all that matters is the people at this table,
Speaker 1: and the people disable represent a lot more people that
Speaker 1: aren't at this table. But because these people distable aren't
Speaker 1: going nicky, what the fuck are you doing? You don't
Speaker 1: deserve love because you're eating pizza that way, then I
Speaker 1: think I'll be okay. Even if the message boards who
Speaker 1: watch the thing that the cameras are filming did say
Speaker 1: that I am a weird eater and I'm gross and
Speaker 1: I can't believe the thirty seven year old woman stuffs
Speaker 1: her face like that and eats like a child. Guess what, Andrew,
Speaker 1: Chris and Kristen still love me. That's all I need,
Speaker 1: That's all I wanted, And that's why I care about
Speaker 1: that Will Smith thing. I guess and that's why I
Speaker 1: want to hear and no, Noah is like, know what
Speaker 1: you were at the table too? You know, like that
Speaker 1: table represented the people that I are closest to me.
Speaker 1: That that it doesn't matter and that's how I feel, exactly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like just whatever is in the room is in the
Speaker 1: room exactly, that's what matters. And I think you could
Speaker 1: be so comfortable with those people and go, oh, well,
Speaker 1: they I'm worried about what. You know, the woman down
Speaker 1: the street thinks with the perfect lawn and the perfect
Speaker 1: hair and the perfect body, she works out every day,
Speaker 1: and why can't it be like her? Why do you
Speaker 1: is she gonna go up be at your funeral, She's
Speaker 1: gonna shed a tear when you die. She doesn't give
Speaker 1: a funk about you stopped trying to impress her lazy
Speaker 1: cold being thought of his lazy and then being thought
Speaker 1: of his life, Like there's such a positive about Like
Speaker 1: they hustle so hard and it's like on the flip
Speaker 1: side of that, hustle so hard is avoidance of talking
Speaker 1: to your parents, avoidance of um, you know, being closer
Speaker 1: with your friends, avoidance of doing whatever. It is, like
Speaker 1: the negative around lazy and a positive on hustle needs
Speaker 1: to kind of we need to stop that talk and
Speaker 1: that like if you're not hustling, you ain't ship. You
Speaker 1: miss out on so much when you hustle so much.
Speaker 1: Even what's his name? When I sent you that clip
Speaker 1: logic he was talking about like how you become as
Speaker 1: good as he is, and he was like, I don't
Speaker 1: have friends, I don't have a social life, I don't
Speaker 1: I missed out a lot, and he goes part of
Speaker 1: me wants to go back to that kid who worked
Speaker 1: so fucking hard and say get outside every now and again.
Speaker 1: Like if you're someone who enjoys, doesn't hustle and doesn't
Speaker 1: define themselves by their career and how much the what
Speaker 1: what you put out there, and how much like the
Speaker 1: world is consuming of you, maybe you're spending time with
Speaker 1: people who your quality time you spend with them is
Speaker 1: leading them to have a better life that can create
Speaker 1: that stuff, you know, like you could be adding to
Speaker 1: the input that the that's being put in the world.
Speaker 1: Um okay, let's get to reddit dump. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is your reddit dum. I think you can hear
Speaker 1: karaoke mode at the beginning karaoke moon. Um okay, so
Speaker 1: so your laughter at the end. Um okay. The things
Speaker 1: I saved are all videos, and I regret this, but
Speaker 1: you guys gotta like, I don't know if I can
Speaker 1: zoom in on them when I could put the links
Speaker 1: on somewhere. Yeah, I mean, has anyone seen the footage
Speaker 1: of Hitler at a horse riding contest and he's high.
Speaker 1: They say he's high on meth, but a lot of
Speaker 1: the comments are saying he had like pretty late stage
Speaker 1: parkins is at this point this video was slightly sped up.
Speaker 1: Slightly okay, But even if it's slightly sped up, you
Speaker 1: tell me how fucking insane You sure it's not Charlie Chapin, No, dude,
Speaker 1: this is Hitler and it says Hitler high. And this
Speaker 1: is from the Sorry, this is from the subred interesting
Speaker 1: Jeff's g I f s press replay on that. This
Speaker 1: is I can't believe more people don't see this. Wow,
Speaker 1: you guys he is rocking back and forth in his
Speaker 1: chair like this. I mean, if you're watching the video,
Speaker 1: like like it's back and forth like one too one
Speaker 1: to want to want to and it's slightly sped up,
Speaker 1: but it's it's so insane that even if it's slowed
Speaker 1: down like three quarters the speed of it, it would
Speaker 1: still be like, why is this guy rocking back and
Speaker 1: forth so much? It's really scary. He's kind of doing
Speaker 1: the sassy turkey. Um yeah, I think, Uh, first of all,
Speaker 1: why is there such a big crowd for a horse
Speaker 1: riding contest? Like it's not even a race. I mean
Speaker 1: maybe it was like their version of you know, the
Speaker 1: Jake Paul fight. And it was in the thirties. There
Speaker 1: was like barely any television. That's the guy, like crazy,
Speaker 1: How one guy like that who's Google Hitler high on
Speaker 1: meth in a horse riding contest At a horse riding
Speaker 1: contests in the crowd, he has the you know, swastika
Speaker 1: on his arm and he's back and forth and I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's meth or Parkinson's, but people you
Speaker 1: know are arguing in the says the drug regimen this
Speaker 1: guy was taking on a daily basis put Jordan Belfort
Speaker 1: to shame. Someone says, me, when my ass itches but
Speaker 1: I cannot scratch. I mean, people on Reddit are so funny,
Speaker 1: is there? Um? Someone said, uh, that fucking murderous Nazi.
Speaker 1: I hope he's burning in hell. Okay, that's that's a
Speaker 1: good comment. Gee. How much drugs did the Nazis really taken? Why? Said?
Speaker 1: Someone said? Lots? And historically things like meth and fetamine
Speaker 1: was given to soldiers by the government so they could
Speaker 1: stay up for days in battle. This of course was
Speaker 1: also done in other others countries militaries. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's talk of like my my grandfather was a eye
Speaker 1: surgeon and he died I think in his forties. He
Speaker 1: smoked a lot and was you know, drank a lot
Speaker 1: and perhaps had some mental issues that my family you know,
Speaker 1: sweeps under the rug and doesn't really talk about. But um,
Speaker 1: there was talk of him probably popping you know, methi
Speaker 1: type pills so that he could do surgery and and
Speaker 1: work long hours and stay up and drink and then
Speaker 1: get up in the morning and do surgery again. And
Speaker 1: this was in the six I mean, there was coke
Speaker 1: and Coca cola like whatever. It's just funny how like
Speaker 1: certain things like if enough people do them, they're the norm.
Speaker 1: So it's like and then we don't realize the repercu
Speaker 1: I mean, hopefully science is better now where we kind
Speaker 1: of have an understanding of like, you know, giving people
Speaker 1: meth it's probably not the best way for them to
Speaker 1: work on eyes. But but like there in thirty years
Speaker 1: we could go, oh, actually, zoloft cause cancer of your
Speaker 1: you know, of your calves or whatever. And everyone's like
Speaker 1: they're going to say that the sugar is the smoking.
Speaker 1: Ryan Hamilton has a great joker. He's like, someday we're
Speaker 1: gonna be like, did you know they had there were
Speaker 1: people eating sugar on planes like the same we were
Speaker 1: talking about smoking. Yeah. Um, okay, this is from dating.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, this is from today. I learned the subreddit. Today,
Speaker 1: I learned t I L. If you c t I
Speaker 1: L it means today I learned today. I learned about
Speaker 1: a New Jersey history professor who was telling a story
Speaker 1: to his class about how a ranger saved his life
Speaker 1: in a canyon at night in Texas in nineteen forty.
Speaker 1: This is wild. The ranger had managed to track him
Speaker 1: down and coincidentally walked into the classroom right as the
Speaker 1: professor was telling the story. Are you listening to what
Speaker 1: I'm saying? So the guy got saved by a range
Speaker 1: here's the here's the article Tuesday from December because he
Speaker 1: found the so okay. Royce Burton was teaching history at
Speaker 1: a New Jersey university when he decided to tell his
Speaker 1: class about a frightening experience he had as a young man.
Speaker 1: He was a Texas ranger. This is a Rio Grande
Speaker 1: at Rio Grande ninety. He got lost in a canyon
Speaker 1: after dark. Beats after dark. He tried to climb out,
Speaker 1: but he lost his balanced. Suddenly, a fellow ranger appeared
Speaker 1: and hoisted him to safety with his rifle strap. He
Speaker 1: thanked this guy for saving his life, but lost contact
Speaker 1: with him and after both men enlisted in the in
Speaker 1: World War Two. Um so. Then, twenty five years later,
Speaker 1: Burton was in the middle of sharing his story when
Speaker 1: an elderly man appeared in the doorway. It was Joe,
Speaker 1: the fellow ranger. He had tracked Burton down twenty five
Speaker 1: years later and walked into his classroom at precisely the
Speaker 1: moment that he was recounting his rescue. He said, He goes,
Speaker 1: I'll have Joe finished the rest of the story, Burton said,
Speaker 1: without missing a beat, as the astonished classroom witnessed the
Speaker 1: two men's reunion. Um Synchronicity is a term coined by
Speaker 1: Carl Young, the Swiss psychiatrist and mystic. It is the
Speaker 1: currence of two events that have no apparent cause and
Speaker 1: effect relation, but are nonetheless connected by meaning, often in
Speaker 1: profound ways. Synchronicity is an odd term, but it's a
Speaker 1: familiar experience to many people. So when dreams of a
Speaker 1: childhood friend he hasn't heard from in years, and gets
Speaker 1: a phone call from that friend the next day, you know,
Speaker 1: these are the coincidences that we go. You won't believe this,
Speaker 1: This is a sign from the universe. The thing is,
Speaker 1: I listened to a Radio Lab episode and I believe
Speaker 1: it's called synchronicity. Uh, and it's from years ago. Chang Wang,
Speaker 1: the comedian, recommended to me we were driving to Sabrina
Speaker 1: Jelize's wedding in Vermont from New York. He's so funny.
Speaker 1: He goes, have you have you never heard Radio Lap
Speaker 1: And I was like no, and he goes, dude, dude,
Speaker 1: there's an episode you've got to listen to. And it's
Speaker 1: called I think It's balloon, and it just talks about
Speaker 1: these things in life that you go the there was
Speaker 1: a there was a balloon that a girl let go
Speaker 1: of and she tied a note to it, and it
Speaker 1: flew forty kilometers away and landed in a bush and
Speaker 1: that bush was and then the father who owned the
Speaker 1: house that that bush fell into. This is the story,
Speaker 1: picked up the balloon and it said, you know, whoever
Speaker 1: finds this, please reach out to Sarah Burton, and then
Speaker 1: gave her address. He is the father of a girl
Speaker 1: whose name is Sarah Burton, who's the same age. Uh
Speaker 1: like this, like I had a bunch of like the
Speaker 1: same like the same birthday or something. And the thing is,
Speaker 1: people go, what the how? What are the odds? The
Speaker 1: odds are astronomically low. But the thing is, it happens.
Speaker 1: And they gave a perfect example, and this takes us
Speaker 1: into final thought, a perfect example of this when when
Speaker 1: something in your life happens coincidentally, like you dream of
Speaker 1: something and someone or you go, I was just talking
Speaker 1: about this person and they just called me. I haven't
Speaker 1: talked about this person in five years and they call me. Now,
Speaker 1: it's probably not God or the universe, even though I
Speaker 1: do believe in science and I like to give meaning
Speaker 1: to them. This is this gives you. It's bound to happen.
Speaker 1: Sometimes these things are abound. Your life has so many
Speaker 1: different You've met thousands of people in your life, and
Speaker 1: every day and every year, thousands of people call you
Speaker 1: at some point, both of those things and thousand people,
Speaker 1: as you know, and the thousand people that call you
Speaker 1: are going to line up in a weird way and
Speaker 1: think of this. Oh my god, this person I had
Speaker 1: a dream about two nights ago called me today. Well,
Speaker 1: if it was really a sign, why wouldn't you have
Speaker 1: dreamed about them last night? Why was it two nights ago?
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, it's a little bit.
Speaker 1: People kind of go. But the one of you, well,
Speaker 1: who knows how many times that guy has told that
Speaker 1: story exactly. And here's another thing. When there is a
Speaker 1: field of grass. Let's say there's a huge field and
Speaker 1: there's probably hundreds of thousands shards of grass maybe uh millions, right,
Speaker 1: and you throw a lawn dart right and every blade
Speaker 1: of grass is going, Oh my god, I hope it
Speaker 1: doesn't hit me, or like, if it hits me, that
Speaker 1: will be wild, Like what a sign. It's gotta hit
Speaker 1: one of them. You know, it's not gonna not hit
Speaker 1: any of them. It's gonna one of those blades of
Speaker 1: grass is gonna feel like I'm special. But guess what,
Speaker 1: it had to hit one. There's nothing special about the
Speaker 1: the definite occurrence of one of those blades of grass
Speaker 1: being hit. There's one one of them is going to
Speaker 1: get hit, right, but that one, when it's you, you
Speaker 1: feel so special, like you feel like, oh my God,
Speaker 1: like it came to me and my grandfather caught a
Speaker 1: foul ball on the same day and his funeral is
Speaker 1: next week. He just died two weeks ago. It's like,
Speaker 1: you can ascribe all this meaning, but your life has
Speaker 1: millions of variables, and if you want to, you can
Speaker 1: ascribe meaning to anything, and it it takes some of
Speaker 1: the magic out of life. But that's not what you know.
Speaker 1: That's the same thing as tarot cards. I don't really
Speaker 1: believe tarot is mystical, and actually, you know, is connected
Speaker 1: to actual things that I'm like, Okay, this is an absolute,
Speaker 1: absolute truth, but it allows you to interpret your life
Speaker 1: in a new way and to see your life from
Speaker 1: a different lens. So if you know your aunt bee
Speaker 1: dies and then a bee lands on your shoulder and
Speaker 1: makes you go, oh my god, that's my aunt be
Speaker 1: talking to me Like, maybe you needed your auntie there
Speaker 1: that day because you have a job interview tomorrow and
Speaker 1: you're nervous about it. And can you remember a moment
Speaker 1: where like things lined up. I remember a few. Well,
Speaker 1: one I was at a Bulls game and they threw
Speaker 1: a ball, the Bulls brothers. It was like the Blues
Speaker 1: brothers and they threw a ball and it's like, what's
Speaker 1: that game in the prices right where where like bounces
Speaker 1: Like yeah, I think that's how you make fried tempora.
Speaker 1: But like and so it freaking plank coat off like
Speaker 1: fifteen other people. And I literally have a coke and
Speaker 1: like a hot dog in my hand and it just
Speaker 1: fell perfectly right in my lap and I go, like
Speaker 1: I with my mom, Like it was just like one
Speaker 1: of those things at the best moment of your life.
Speaker 1: I mean it was up there with like at that
Speaker 1: point in my life. Yeah, it was pretty freaking cool.
Speaker 1: But like I had moments like I was in California.
Speaker 1: I remember when I was like twelve or something and
Speaker 1: I'm in this like obscure restaurant middle of nowhere. Maybe
Speaker 1: there's like ten people in there, and one of my
Speaker 1: best friends from camp is there with his family. He's
Speaker 1: one of the ten, and I'm like, what what is that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, you go. But then you're like, well, the
Speaker 1: haves a certain amount of money and his family, right,
Speaker 1: they travel a certain amount. There's there's websites that direct
Speaker 1: you to the places to go that are cool in town.
Speaker 1: And they went to the same website because you guys
Speaker 1: searched the same things from the same campers. That would
Speaker 1: have probably surprised me. Y, have you had a moment
Speaker 1: like that though, like um, you were like far away
Speaker 1: from something or you know, like I I remember I
Speaker 1: you know, I've talked about how like I recently believe
Speaker 1: in God and like I'm much more spiritual, But when
Speaker 1: I was a kid, I was not allowed to like
Speaker 1: believe in just my parents were like that was like yeah,
Speaker 1: like there's no there's no God in my ounse. But
Speaker 1: I used to pray. And I remember one time praying.
Speaker 1: I was, um, it was fifth grade and I was
Speaker 1: I was going out with a boy like it was
Speaker 1: my first boyfriend and he asked me out Diego vs.
Speaker 1: He has asked me out on the bus. And I
Speaker 1: really didn't want anyone to find out about it because
Speaker 1: I was just like, I don't want to do anything
Speaker 1: with it, Like I don't I was just like, I
Speaker 1: don't even want a boyfriend. I'm like doing this because
Speaker 1: it's like, oh my God. And I would remember staying
Speaker 1: up that night and like not being able to sleep
Speaker 1: and just being like I just knew that if Tyler
Speaker 1: Schoonover found out about it, he would be like, why
Speaker 1: is Diego dating Nikki Glazer, Like she's a nerd? And
Speaker 1: then everyone would like hear that I was a nerd.
Speaker 1: And it was like for some reason, I really didn't
Speaker 1: want Tyler schoon o Over to be at school like
Speaker 1: I was just but he was never absent ever. And
Speaker 1: I remember praying to God and I had this weird
Speaker 1: ritual where God would only answer my prayers if I
Speaker 1: laid in bed in a way that I had never
Speaker 1: laid before. So I would have to be like, I'll
Speaker 1: cross my fingers in a weird way and then my
Speaker 1: leg I would have to make a shape with my
Speaker 1: body that had never been made before, which isn't hard
Speaker 1: to do because like there's enough variables in your body
Speaker 1: that you can I would lay like this and be like, please, God,
Speaker 1: have Tyler schoonover, please, And he was sick from school
Speaker 1: the next day. And that made me believe in the
Speaker 1: power of making my body into a weird shape and
Speaker 1: praying for things. And I never really tested again because
Speaker 1: it was too scared that yesterday because I didn't want
Speaker 1: the power to be taken because I knew it was
Speaker 1: a coincidence. I knew it was a coincidence. Even then,
Speaker 1: I was like this, thank God, this is just me
Speaker 1: being O c D. It would have been such a
Speaker 1: different story depending on how sick Tyler got, like if
Speaker 1: it was like Tyler is cool now and he like
Speaker 1: like him a lot of luck. But back then I
Speaker 1: was just so scared. But eventually Mrs Grow did find
Speaker 1: out about me, and Mrs Grow was my teacher and
Speaker 1: someone told her and I remember it was like slow motion.
Speaker 1: It was like that um black Hole Sun video of
Speaker 1: like in your face, like like and she just goes
Speaker 1: Nicky and Diego sitting yeah, because everyone was like NICKI
Speaker 1: and Diego are dating and she but it wasn't mean.
Speaker 1: She was just playing like she was kind of happy
Speaker 1: for me because I was a door and she was like,
Speaker 1: oh NICKI, and she really said it like that, but
Speaker 1: to me it was like nicky. And I was like
Speaker 1: black hole sick, won't chick come, won't chick come? Black
Speaker 1: hole son, and like dripping blood and like melting yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: how long we're still together? We never broke up? That
Speaker 1: was my joke. I saw him again in high school
Speaker 1: at Tree Court, my pool, and he was there and
Speaker 1: I and I and I actually wrote him, I think
Speaker 1: on Facebook in college and wrote him and was like,
Speaker 1: technically we're still dating because we never broke up. He
Speaker 1: switched schools in sixth grade, so I never saw him again.
Speaker 1: But he better not be fucking married and cheating on
Speaker 1: me because we never broke up. Diego when I want
Speaker 1: you to know you if you're out there, diego v.
Speaker 1: I look for him all the time because he was
Speaker 1: so cute. I think he's probably a doctor. He was
Speaker 1: so smart and just like so cute doctor. Yeah, diego.
Speaker 1: I'm giving my vagina for you to examine, because I
Speaker 1: really do need to go get a badge exam not
Speaker 1: and there's nothing wrong. It's just I need my annual.
