Speaker 1: here yesterday. Was there a supplemental episode or was it
Speaker 1: just no nothing, a blank space? Oh my god? And
Speaker 1: will write nothing? Um, because yeah, there was nothing. There's
Speaker 1: nothing there. Well I wonder if people were enraged. I
Speaker 1: haven't checked Instagram. No. Um, oh good people understand no
Speaker 1: one said anything. Well that's not a good sign either.
Speaker 1: I want I want people to be angry up in arms.
Speaker 1: They didn't get a podcast yesterday, especially after a long
Speaker 1: weekend of waiting and and and uh they had they
Speaker 1: not had to They heard the live episode from Say
Speaker 1: Louis on Thursday, because on Thursday we were actually recording
Speaker 1: another live episode from Cancun. I mean where am I? Um?
Speaker 1: I'm in St. Louis right now. Um, but in the
Speaker 1: last uh since Wednesday, I've been in Cancoon, um, Tampa,
Speaker 1: d C. St. Louis, New York. Back to St. Louis.
Speaker 1: It's been insane. Um. I just got back this morning,
Speaker 1: like you know, fifteen minutes ago. And oh my god,
Speaker 1: I'm wearing black socks with my sneakers. It's not a
Speaker 1: good look. I'm kind of going up on my outfits.
Speaker 1: I just I mean, I've consistently warn of Taylor Swift
Speaker 1: served ever since the day I said I was going
Speaker 1: to I am. I have maybe five or six left.
Speaker 1: It is so nice to not have to wear anything
Speaker 1: except this, like it's a uniform of sorts where it's
Speaker 1: like usually every day I'm like, oh my god, do
Speaker 1: I have to look cute? And when I have a
Speaker 1: rule for myself which is like, you gotta wear Taylor
Speaker 1: Sift shirt, it takes so much the stress out of
Speaker 1: getting dressed out of it. I love it. I didn't
Speaker 1: even realize I was giving myself such a gift. I
Speaker 1: put all of my tailor swisshirts on top of my
Speaker 1: wardrobe in my closet, and then as I wear them,
Speaker 1: I washed them and I put them in the drawer.
Speaker 1: So the ones on top I know I haven't worn yet.
Speaker 1: I want to keep adding because I don't want to.
Speaker 1: I don't want to ever wear anything else because I
Speaker 1: don't want to try to look super cute. And let
Speaker 1: me just be honest, her March isn't all that cute,
Speaker 1: and it's not my fault if it's not cute. It's
Speaker 1: like I had to wear it because I made a
Speaker 1: rule for myself that I created. UM, so it's really yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's up to me anyway. Um Yeah, yesterday was
Speaker 1: I mean, Cancoon was wild. Thank you to all the
Speaker 1: besties that were there um and showed your support while
Speaker 1: we recorded an episode from the pool. Um, it was
Speaker 1: truly insane. That episode will be out on Thanksgiving. You
Speaker 1: will hear a lot of screaming. You will hear me
Speaker 1: trying to mitigate the screaming, begging them to stop screaming,
Speaker 1: because everything in Cancouon is you say anything and wow,
Speaker 1: like my sorias is flaring up like there's a child
Speaker 1: drowning all over there, like everything everything you said, and
Speaker 1: it's just like this is not going to be fun
Speaker 1: for anyone to listen to. Um. But Thanksgiving us such
Speaker 1: a painful day anyway for a lot of people that
Speaker 1: what's what's it? They'll be happy to have it, I think,
Speaker 1: And you will hear. But I just want you to
Speaker 1: know you'll hear me struggling pleading with them on your
Speaker 1: behalf listener that no one wants to hear that. It's
Speaker 1: a fun thing to do in the moment, but it
Speaker 1: was just like, please stop screaming, please, sir. Um, it wasn't.
Speaker 1: It was just women. But we did a really fun
Speaker 1: thing that you'll see, like the podcast goes off the
Speaker 1: rails almost immediately. And then you know, and then I
Speaker 1: had a just a little simmer of an idea before
Speaker 1: we began, I go, it might be funny to do this.
Speaker 1: And thank god we had that idea because no one
Speaker 1: people were tuning us out there were said a woman.
Speaker 1: I remember she turned her back to me in ordered
Speaker 1: like a bye tie at you know, at the bar,
Speaker 1: and the people just started to seem annoyed because they
Speaker 1: didn't understand what this was. You know, they were all
Speaker 1: there for comedy festival, so they knew and most people
Speaker 1: were very engaged. But um, yeah, only two people drowned. Um,
Speaker 1: you know it was I was trying to incite uh,
Speaker 1: you know, rushing the stage. Um. No, I wasn't the
Speaker 1: Travis Scott thing. I've looked into it a little bit,
Speaker 1: have you know. Yeah, I had no idea what it was.
Speaker 1: I just heard Astro World. It sounded like a roller
Speaker 1: coaster and I was like, Travis Scott has a roller coaster.
Speaker 1: And then if people died like a roller coaster, there's
Speaker 1: a um, there's a park in Coney Island called astro Land.
Speaker 1: That's so I associated with a roller coaster. Also okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: well there we go. Um and then I thought people
Speaker 1: died on the roller coaster. Then I realized and and
Speaker 1: then you look into it. This guy, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of funny memes going on of like you know of him,
Speaker 1: like creating crowd safety, and it's him just like doing
Speaker 1: the the the subtle thing that I called that comedian
Speaker 1: doing where she's he or she I didn't say, she
Speaker 1: is raising their arms like everyone laugh, everyone get up,
Speaker 1: like he's doing that behind like a burning stage, like
Speaker 1: just being like guys calmed down. There's um he uh.
Speaker 1: But there's a guy that do that almost died at
Speaker 1: a two seventeen concert in New York City at Terminal
Speaker 1: five where he fell off a balcony and it is
Speaker 1: now paralyzed and he was just trying. He's he goes
Speaker 1: out and does like advocacy for like crowd control at
Speaker 1: Travis Scott concerts especially, and then this happens. It just
Speaker 1: and then I guess Drake didn't even take down the
Speaker 1: stories from that night. It happened of like celebrating like
Speaker 1: their their show or whatever. I don't know. It's just
Speaker 1: also insensitive. What do you know about it? Um? I
Speaker 1: know a few things that Andrew will bring up in
Speaker 1: the news possible. Yeah, my mom was at the Who
Speaker 1: concert in Cincinnati where I think a lot of people died,
Speaker 1: Like it was a lot of in the seventies Who
Speaker 1: played in Cincinnati, and there was a trampling episode. Have
Speaker 1: you almost ever been trampled at a concert because you've
Speaker 1: been washing before, you know what. I've never almost been
Speaker 1: stampeded upon at a concert, but I do remember it
Speaker 1: was in junior high school. Something happened in the hallway
Speaker 1: and there was this like mad rush and I remember
Speaker 1: just like my body just floating to another part of
Speaker 1: the hallway just because stuff and screaming. There was something
Speaker 1: on Reddity actually recently, where it showed what crowds look
Speaker 1: like water like from an aerial shot. The way they move,
Speaker 1: it's just like rippling water. Like there's no you that
Speaker 1: terrifies me any am. I get into a building that
Speaker 1: is a lot of people in it, I make myself
Speaker 1: aware of the fire exits and I positioned I have
Speaker 1: a plan where like if ship goes down, how I'm
Speaker 1: gonna where I'm gonna go, Where I'm gonna run. The
Speaker 1: second I hear a pop sound like I'm I'm always
Speaker 1: thinking of like shooting, or like the second nice smell smoke, like,
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna question it. I'm going to see
Speaker 1: like a smoke machine. I'll just like start running for
Speaker 1: the doors. But that's how scared I am of because
Speaker 1: you know, have you ever been in a in a
Speaker 1: situation where it gets got a little chaotic? Um? No,
Speaker 1: I don't. I just think I have a fear of
Speaker 1: not getting out, like knowing I'm not naive enough to
Speaker 1: think that, like God, there's fire exits like I think
Speaker 1: early on, I was like, you know, you go to
Speaker 1: a movie theater and the person comes out sometimes and
Speaker 1: talks to you before the movie. This was maybe I
Speaker 1: haven't gone to the movies in so long, but they
Speaker 1: used to have a representative come and talk to you
Speaker 1: and be like the exits are here, and you're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know where that. Why would I need to know
Speaker 1: where the exits are? It's because in a situation where
Speaker 1: there's a fire or chaos, people have no idea where
Speaker 1: to go, and so I think I just realized that
Speaker 1: the over precaution was probably for a good reason. And
Speaker 1: then the more I looked into it and read into it,
Speaker 1: it was like, oh, people are I think there was
Speaker 1: some fire at a UM nightclub at some point, and
Speaker 1: I read horrifying stories from smart people that were like
Speaker 1: able bodied, much like myself, not like wasted. Just just
Speaker 1: got trampled because everyone starts freaking out and everyone goes
Speaker 1: for the same door. I think I just saw enough
Speaker 1: stuff like that that it made me aware. You know,
Speaker 1: I did the the celebrity roast thing. What was that called? No,
Speaker 1: it was the UM. I played Kurt Cobain, and that
Speaker 1: was an insane thing. Like I show up and it's
Speaker 1: like in a garage in this kind of like bad
Speaker 1: part of like Hollywood. It's I thought it was going
Speaker 1: to be like a really nice situation. It's kind of
Speaker 1: hobbled together. Um. It wasn't the greatest experience it. UM.
Speaker 1: It ended up being a really funny show and um
Speaker 1: funny jokes and the writers on it were amazing and
Speaker 1: the performances were great, but the production itself was terrifying
Speaker 1: because I was getting miked by this woman who I
Speaker 1: guess saw that she had someone in me that she
Speaker 1: could like say her truth too. But she looked like
Speaker 1: very concerned. I'll never forget her face. And she was
Speaker 1: like miking me and you kind of just say like, hi,
Speaker 1: there's an it's an intimate moment there, like in your
Speaker 1: bra And she was like, can I just say that
Speaker 1: this place is not fire safe? And this is just
Speaker 1: like begging for an accident and something really tragic to happen.
Speaker 1: And I was like, what I mean, we're like about
Speaker 1: to go on and I want to get this over with.
Speaker 1: I'm already uncomfortable. Uh, there's a whole other story that
Speaker 1: I don't want to get into because I don't want
Speaker 1: to have like people come after me about it. But
Speaker 1: it was just not a fun day. Nothing to do
Speaker 1: with the people who booked me for it or created
Speaker 1: the show. But not a good day, even though you
Speaker 1: know it starts at the top, let me be honest, um.
Speaker 1: And this woman goes there is she was like, it's
Speaker 1: not fire safe in there. There's no exits, they're not
Speaker 1: clearly marked. There's too many people in there. There's courts
Speaker 1: all over the ground, there is it's there was no exit.
Speaker 1: It was a place with one. It was totally not safe.
Speaker 1: So I was like, well, fuck, dude, I go why
Speaker 1: we're I'm walking to stage. I want to get out
Speaker 1: of there so bad. It was Halloween night two thousand,
Speaker 1: I think, eighteen seventeen, and I'm like, I don't even
Speaker 1: want to like be here. I just want to get
Speaker 1: this production over with. We're already running late. There's a
Speaker 1: live audience, they're doing the guys doing crowd warm up.
Speaker 1: We're about to walk to our seats, and I go
Speaker 1: to the um director or like the the guy behind
Speaker 1: the whole show, and I go listen. I've got some
Speaker 1: intel that this is an up to fire code and
Speaker 1: I'm not feeling good about it, and I have irrational
Speaker 1: fear of dying in a fire, and I just don't
Speaker 1: on to tonight. This isn't worth it to me. And
Speaker 1: he was like, okay, I can assure you that is
Speaker 1: not the case. Um, you know, it became like a
Speaker 1: big thing of like, you know, uh, we had the
Speaker 1: fire marshal out here earlier today. He looked it over.
Speaker 1: It's fine, yes, what you're seeing and what what you know?
Speaker 1: I I didn't even ride out the woman and then
Speaker 1: he's like, where are you getting this from? And I go,
Speaker 1: you know what I got from her? And I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna like because she because she was being like kind
Speaker 1: of like, what is this girl freaking out about? And
Speaker 1: I'm like, you were the one who told me. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be in this alone. And I go
Speaker 1: and it's not okay that she doesn't feel safe telling
Speaker 1: you guys that what's going on with that? Why she
Speaker 1: have to tell me? And I'm glad she did, because
Speaker 1: I'm someone who will say something. I said, don't get
Speaker 1: mad at her. I go, don't, don't because obviously she
Speaker 1: had she didn't feel safe sent telling you. And they
Speaker 1: go and I'm scared, you know, And I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to delay this production. I want to get that.
Speaker 1: I want to get out of here too. Please just
Speaker 1: tell me it's safe. And they're like, we have the
Speaker 1: fire marshal out here. I'll never forget this guy, this
Speaker 1: fucking liar. We had the fire marshal here. And I go, okay,
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't. Did he leave paperwork that he
Speaker 1: signed off on it? He was like, it's totally safe.
Speaker 1: He I'll send it. I'll email it to you right
Speaker 1: after we're done. And I go, I'm choosing to trust
Speaker 1: you right now because I don't really have another option.
Speaker 1: Because he was like, I don't. I can't get it now.
Speaker 1: It's in my email. It's like, he goes, I promise
Speaker 1: you'll get it to you. He never sent it to me. Um.
Speaker 1: But because we all died in that fire that night,
Speaker 1: I'm a ghost. But uh he and I go, you
Speaker 1: know what, Okay, fine, I go, but I'm I did
Speaker 1: the same thing that I did when Carlisle got hit
Speaker 1: by a Lime scooter, a kid on a Lime scooter.
Speaker 1: The kid Carlisle was like, could have been concussed. We
Speaker 1: didn't really know. It's kind of the aftermath. Everything was hazy.
Speaker 1: She was walking around, but like, who knows how bad
Speaker 1: her injuries were. She got clocked on a sidewalk by
Speaker 1: Lime scooter a second later or before, I don't know
Speaker 1: which one. She would have been dead, no question, and
Speaker 1: she was. You know, I said, I told to the kid,
Speaker 1: he's like twenty mid twenties kid on the scooter with
Speaker 1: his friends. He didn't mean to. I can forgive someone
Speaker 1: for doing a dumb mistake. People are on limee scooters
Speaker 1: on the sidewalk all the time. He's going way too fast,
Speaker 1: he's probably a little drunk. And I go, give me
Speaker 1: your number just in case something's wrong with her, And
Speaker 1: so he gives me his number and I go, I'm
Speaker 1: not even going to test this right now because I'm
Speaker 1: gonna trust you. But if you lie to me and
Speaker 1: this isn't a real number, you're a real dirt bag.
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna trust that you're a good person.
Speaker 1: And he fucking gave me a fake number because I
Speaker 1: wrote to him to say she's fine, and it was
Speaker 1: like this number does not exist. So anyway, this guy,
Speaker 1: the story is wild. I'm sorry to take up so
Speaker 1: much time. I'll try to finish it quickly. So then
Speaker 1: the guy placates me by being like, okay, so you're
Speaker 1: okay to do it, and I go, I'm okay to
Speaker 1: do it, but I'm just telling you and not I
Speaker 1: don't feel like that comfortable, and he goes, let's get
Speaker 1: someone to walk Nikki to set, and they're holding my
Speaker 1: hand as I walk over cords like kind of being like, oh,
Speaker 1: baby needs to be hell. I go, I think I
Speaker 1: could lock over chords that are total fire hazards around
Speaker 1: a tent like material, and I just go I can
Speaker 1: walk myself, and he's like, are you starting to go?
Speaker 1: I think I got it, And so I'm walking back
Speaker 1: and I'm getting miked back there again, refixed on my mic,
Speaker 1: and the guy goes, I go, hey, can you just
Speaker 1: tell me what you think about like the fire safety
Speaker 1: of this building. He goes, Oh, it's fucking awful. This
Speaker 1: is this is just this is a tragedy waiting to happen.
Speaker 1: And I go, are you fucking kidding me? And he goes, oh,
Speaker 1: it's it's bad. We all know it, and I go,
Speaker 1: I'm saying something. So then I get Seth Green and
Speaker 1: um Fortune Feamster, who are also on the They're playing
Speaker 1: Lady Princess Diana Lady Die and Seth is playing David
Speaker 1: Bowie and I get them and I go, guys, we
Speaker 1: are literally backstage with about to go on. They're bringing
Speaker 1: us up like moments away, and we're all like kind
Speaker 1: of psyched, and like there's music pumping and the crowd's
Speaker 1: going wild, and I'm like, guys, this is not fire safe,
Speaker 1: like this woman warned me. And now this guy warned me.
Speaker 1: I don't feel like that. The guy that told me
Speaker 1: it was safe, I even trust him. This is not good.
Speaker 1: And Seth is like, I'll carry you out, Nikki, get
Speaker 1: on my back if something happens. And I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: no one's taking this seriously. I'm feeling like I'm just
Speaker 1: a little overcautious. So then the woman, so then I
Speaker 1: just go, you know what, I'm just gonna pay it
Speaker 1: close attention to the fire, uh, you know, like to
Speaker 1: any smoke. I smell the whole show. I was like, like,
Speaker 1: I looked like I was doing Kurt Cobain on coke
Speaker 1: because I am so aware and very skittish, like totally
Speaker 1: looking for fire the whole time. Had a plan. I
Speaker 1: was like, you know what, funk all these people? I
Speaker 1: I am only can get myself out. I was gonna
Speaker 1: do a George Costanza. So then this is the wild part.
Speaker 1: So the woman, the original woman who clued me in
Speaker 1: on the fire safety hazards, she comes up to with
Speaker 1: a clipboard to tell me where I'm sitting on stage.
Speaker 1: We're backstage, and she's like, okay, you're gonna go out,
Speaker 1: and and so she's pointing on the clipboard and she goes, okay,
Speaker 1: so Nikki and I go, I tried. I really tried.
Speaker 1: And she goes, thank you for doing that, and I go, I,
Speaker 1: I mean he told me it was safe. I don't
Speaker 1: know what too. She was like it's okay, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but you can tell that she's still concerned. She looks
Speaker 1: at a clip or she goes, okay, so you're gonna
Speaker 1: go out and then die? And I go what. She goes,
Speaker 1: You're gonna go out and then die? And I go,
Speaker 1: what are you saying? And she goes, You're gonna go
Speaker 1: out and then die and then Princess Diana and I go,
Speaker 1: are you I go, do you know what? It sounded like?
Speaker 1: You just said you're gonna go out and then die,
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna die like death, and she was like.
Speaker 1: We both looked at each other like oh my god.
Speaker 1: And she was like that is weird. I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's weird. I thought it was like, I mean, that's
Speaker 1: the kind of thing that would happen in a Final
Speaker 1: Destination movie, like of all things that she could say
Speaker 1: after that. So I didn't die, but the whole production
Speaker 1: I was very uncomfortable. And it's the kind of things
Speaker 1: that happened on these shows, these you know, on productions
Speaker 1: all the time where people are just like, if I'm
Speaker 1: the whistleblower, I'm the one that holds up everything. Then
Speaker 1: nothing happens and I look like, uh, like I was
Speaker 1: worried about nothing, and I look like a little puss
Speaker 1: in boots, or like the guy that thought the sky
Speaker 1: was falling chicken little, and sometimes you gotta be chicken
Speaker 1: little and um, and I was that day, and I
Speaker 1: looked like a big annoyance. But I will never I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know the guy's name that lied
Speaker 1: to me, so I could probably work with him again.
Speaker 1: But if I see him on set, I will be
Speaker 1: very angry, and I'll still pull like the check and
Speaker 1: work with him. Let's get Andrew in here. What about
Speaker 1: Andrew eating pal I haven't even talked about last night.
Speaker 1: Did you see him at Bruce Ringsteen? Yeah, obviously, I'm jealous.
Speaker 1: I was eating a giant Jimmy John sub throughout the day,
Speaker 1: throughout the day. You got one early in the day
Speaker 1: and then you just kept going to the fridge for it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I bought a giant which is like eighteen bucks, and
Speaker 1: I just went it down on it like different time.
Speaker 1: How long is it? I am eighteen bucks? That's gonna
Speaker 1: be like a party, sup. I mean it's too it's
Speaker 1: too large. It's like this time, it's probably this much. Okay,
Speaker 1: so that's not that bad. No, it's not that bad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's upset picture to paint. Well, I'm hob
Speaker 1: nobbin with Brucey. I mean, you know, he has his
Speaker 1: hands on your hips and I have my hands on
Speaker 1: some mayo. Everyone kept commenting about the hand on my
Speaker 1: hip like it was some kind of like invasion of
Speaker 1: my privacy. But I loved it. Yeah, it's the boss.
Speaker 1: He does what the boss does. I mean, he wasn't
Speaker 1: being creepy at all, Like he didn't even know who. Literally,
Speaker 1: if you look at the video, he didn't know who
Speaker 1: was standing next to him. He didn't look at me
Speaker 1: at any Yeah, there was I could have been Jim
Speaker 1: gaff Agan. I mean he might have thought you were
Speaker 1: who knows Jim Gaffgan, I want to say, did kindly.
Speaker 1: He was in position to be next to Bruce and
Speaker 1: he goes, come on, Nicky, you go, you go, like
Speaker 1: he sacrificed the spot so that I could be next
Speaker 1: to Bruce. It was so nice and I was like,
Speaker 1: thank you, Jim, because what did the boss smell like?
Speaker 1: People don't get close to the boss, Like, what did
Speaker 1: he feel like? I don't get that close to the boss?
Speaker 1: No one does, right, yeah, no one does. I don't
Speaker 1: see a lot of pictures with the boss with people
Speaker 1: know the boss does not I got fired. What do
Speaker 1: you mean by the boss? Oh? Yeah, yeah, well I
Speaker 1: got hired. You're you're near him? Is there a glow?
Speaker 1: I mean? This is very taught man, Like his face
Speaker 1: is taught. He's like shiny and fresh looking and really handsome.
Speaker 1: He um plays guitar at what You can see this
Speaker 1: for yourself if you ever watched his like beforeance. But
Speaker 1: I realized his stance is that of I realized it
Speaker 1: because earlier in the night, John Stewart was talking to
Speaker 1: the woman. There's Lee and Bob Won uh Woodruff are
Speaker 1: the ones that put on this event for uh injured
Speaker 1: soldiers and their families and to raise money. And the
Speaker 1: crowd is all rich people. It's like a couple of veterans,
Speaker 1: but it's like mostly just rich New York socialites that
Speaker 1: can afford a ticket to this insane show. I thought
Speaker 1: it was all going to be all veterans, like kind
Speaker 1: of blue collar fun thing. It was. It was, but
Speaker 1: it was to have those people donate tons and tons
Speaker 1: of money. There was an auction. While like right before
Speaker 1: I went up, there was an auction, you know, maybe
Speaker 1: five hundred seats for the troops, there was. It was
Speaker 1: a thousand seats. It was, and to fly in troops
Speaker 1: because of COVID. It was just some reason. They usually
Speaker 1: have a lot of troops there, but there were there
Speaker 1: have to be local troops too, but they wanted wounded ones,
Speaker 1: you know, gets more money. Oh my god, there was
Speaker 1: so many. I broke my heel on the red carpet,
Speaker 1: like I was just like talking to someone and I
Speaker 1: was just kind of like, you know, dilly dallying back
Speaker 1: and forth and like kind of bending on the heels.
Speaker 1: I was wearing to give my bunyan some relief. Snap,
Speaker 1: you heard it crack like an old tree like a
Speaker 1: do no. I just was like, oh god, damn it.
Speaker 1: And it cracked off, and I go, well, it looks like, uh,
Speaker 1: they're not gonna be the only ones limpen tonight. I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I go, I think they're gonna like it.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk out. I'm gonna look just like them.
Speaker 1: And you could tell the guy the CBS reporter that
Speaker 1: was like doing me was a little bit like should
Speaker 1: we like cancel her? Like should we keep this footage
Speaker 1: and we're not gonna use it, but should we wait
Speaker 1: till we can cancel her? Um? But it was I go,
Speaker 1: what do you get mad at me? For? They? They
Speaker 1: they limp and I will be too. There's nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with what I'm saying. I love taking apart people when
Speaker 1: they go, oh my god, I got it. My set
Speaker 1: was just so like this crowd. They're just stuffy rich,
Speaker 1: like when people who love their money and let me
Speaker 1: let me just say, probably love Trump because based on
Speaker 1: the jokes I did, which I thought would be well
Speaker 1: received by people attending an event m seed by John Stewart,
Speaker 1: they would be in for a little bit of digs
Speaker 1: that Trump I used. I never used to like to
Speaker 1: make Trump jokes because I felt like alienated the crowd
Speaker 1: and I didn't want to make anyone feel bad. Fuck you,
Speaker 1: I don't care anymore because I make one joke about
Speaker 1: him being a buffoon and then you tune out my
Speaker 1: whole set because you're angry. You're ridiculous. That's ridiculous. So wait,
Speaker 1: go through it. So you go. So anyway, I'm backstage
Speaker 1: with I'm like kind of like reeling after my though,
Speaker 1: like before you go on stage. So you're back there.
Speaker 1: I get there, I have Oh my god, dude, I had.
Speaker 1: I had two hours of hair and makeup. I have
Speaker 1: a very very tiny room with Interragonmental Hotels they got
Speaker 1: for me, but it's a tiny room. Three people show
Speaker 1: up to do my hair and makeup. They have an
Speaker 1: assistant there to just like open creams and like open
Speaker 1: her eyeshadows, and I was just like, why are this
Speaker 1: three people too much? They did my makeup, and God
Speaker 1: bless them. I just didn't have time to have them
Speaker 1: fix what went wrong. And it was a low lighting.
Speaker 1: And these people are talented in their own right. It's
Speaker 1: hard to do makeup specifically for someone who knows what
Speaker 1: they like. But I took a selfie of what I
Speaker 1: looked like after they got done, um, just to just
Speaker 1: to just to confirm that I never want my hair
Speaker 1: and makeup done again. I'm just always going to do
Speaker 1: it myself. It saves me time, it saves me money,
Speaker 1: and it saves me from wanting to cry. It's not good.
Speaker 1: It's not good. No, I'm going to give it to
Speaker 1: you to put up on that. I mean, you look
Speaker 1: like a vampire geisha. Meme, mime a vampire geisha on mine.
Speaker 1: I look like I'm about to be This is what
Speaker 1: I would look like if they was an open casket
Speaker 1: and I died of some sort of blood. All the
Speaker 1: blood in your face is through somewhere else. Yeah, rat poison,
Speaker 1: I ate or something. I mean, I was you look
Speaker 1: like a powdered doughnut. So and I requested so much bronzer,
Speaker 1: like that's what I really did look like. I mean,
Speaker 1: it looks like it can bend spoons. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about? Like, uh, that you just wrote the
Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence or no? Before that was with my mind.
Speaker 1: Do you remember Powder? That movie? He would be like
Speaker 1: in a spoon would I never saw it, but I
Speaker 1: always referenced it because I always felt like I had
Speaker 1: the same complexion. I was so upset. I was texting Jen,
Speaker 1: my assistant, and I was just like and I was
Speaker 1: already depressed. Yesterday I slept all day. I got into
Speaker 1: New York at I got in I got to my
Speaker 1: hotel by one and I slept until four and then
Speaker 1: I woke up and I had to and they were
Speaker 1: are I told them they shouldn't be there till five
Speaker 1: because I don't need in more than an hour and
Speaker 1: a half to get ready. They're there at four and
Speaker 1: Jen's like, they're in the lobby. They have a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff. Can they come up? And I'm like, okay, fine,
Speaker 1: so I let them up. I go down to get Starbucks.
Speaker 1: I come back. There's three of them in the room
Speaker 1: and I go there are three. I'm texting her from
Speaker 1: the bathroom. I'm like, I have to shower. They're mad
Speaker 1: at me that I have to shower. I'm like, but
Speaker 1: your guys are here so early. Whatever, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: They did and they did their best. They're not bad artists.
Speaker 1: They just were bad for me. And I can do
Speaker 1: it better myself. And that's why I'm going to do
Speaker 1: it better myself. Like it's like masturbating. It's time you
Speaker 1: have sex with someone. You're like, no, I can do
Speaker 1: the better myself. I was going to ask you out
Speaker 1: of French Revolution. That's hilarious and exactly I wanted to, yeh,
Speaker 1: can we will post that to post. It's so bad.
Speaker 1: And that was when they were done. They had she
Speaker 1: had given me this fake eyelish is that were just
Speaker 1: like these clumps that they put on. They were so bad.
Speaker 1: The person that I invited to go with me got
Speaker 1: to the uh the hotel, and I was crying, but
Speaker 1: I couldn't cry because I didn't make the best up
Speaker 1: my makeup, So I'm like, I can't cry. So I
Speaker 1: just started going and just like shaking and just like
Speaker 1: like sometimes I just get so mad I can't cry
Speaker 1: that I clenched my fists as hard as I can
Speaker 1: and almost like dig my nails into like I just
Speaker 1: feel like I have to just tense up like that.
Speaker 1: It was like that I was great, and he was like,
Speaker 1: are you okay? And I said some very bad things
Speaker 1: about those people, and he goes, I don't recognize this person.
Speaker 1: And then later on we were talking about someone I
Speaker 1: forgave and he was like, you're such a person that's
Speaker 1: able to forgive people so quickly for things that are bad.
Speaker 1: But man, earlier today you were not that person. I go, yeah,
Speaker 1: and I knew in that moment, I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: saying horrid things about but it wasn't something that would
Speaker 1: stay with me. I've already forgiven them and it was
Speaker 1: my fault. I didn't communicate properly and I shouldn't have
Speaker 1: hired them and they were It just wasn't the right.
Speaker 1: It wasn't right. I want to know more about the
Speaker 1: event though. We can get into it, but we gotta
Speaker 1: get to the news. Yeah, damn it. I want to know, Like,
Speaker 1: but John Stewart, I want to say John's when I
Speaker 1: he he came up behind Like I was sitting next
Speaker 1: to Lee Woodruff, who was amazing woman who was so
Speaker 1: sexy and like she's probably in her like fifties, maybe
Speaker 1: late fifties. I'm guessing she's so hot. I'm just like
Speaker 1: I want to do anything you do. Like, she was
Speaker 1: just the sexiest woman I've ever seen. She was so
Speaker 1: cool to me, like just be yourself. She's like you
Speaker 1: and I have the same person. She was just like awesome.
Speaker 1: I was like, thank you. So I'm chilling with her
Speaker 1: on the stool after my set that was like mediocre.
Speaker 1: Look when did you go up in the lineup? Did it?
Speaker 1: It was like Harlem Choir singing national anthem. A little
Speaker 1: bit of a video about wounded shoulders, then Donald Rowlings,
Speaker 1: then another wounded soldier video, then an auction, then Nate Bargatsi,
Speaker 1: then a the video, then some other people speaking, then
Speaker 1: the Craig from Craigslist, then then Bendy Carlisle, then another
Speaker 1: musical former woman's I was like, at the towards the
Speaker 1: end of the show, did anyone destroy h? So then whatever,
Speaker 1: I was, what are you going to say about Jon Stewart?
Speaker 1: So he was sitting next he came up to talk
Speaker 1: to Lee. As I was watching the show. It was
Speaker 1: like she was behind me and I heard this person
Speaker 1: like come over and talk to her. But I thought
Speaker 1: it was like one of the backstage guys that were
Speaker 1: like working the pulleys for the the the curtain, because
Speaker 1: he looked he was wearing a baseball cap. He had
Speaker 1: like you know, that scruffy like beer like kind of
Speaker 1: grayish beard and and I and she's being very filing,
Speaker 1: and so I looked and then I did a total
Speaker 1: double take and I go, oh my god, I didn't
Speaker 1: recognize you. And I was like, and uh. He had
Speaker 1: a great set to open the show. So I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, it was so funny. And he made
Speaker 1: some joke about like, oh, yeah, they really want to
Speaker 1: hear about anal right away, and I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: he didn't anals. I didn't even hear the anal joke.
Speaker 1: But he I guess he talked about anal right out
Speaker 1: of the gate. But he told me that he was like,
Speaker 1: he goes, uh. He kept making jokes about how bad
Speaker 1: they were, which felt so good, and he hadn't seen
Speaker 1: my set, so he was already validating that they were bad.
Speaker 1: And he was really nice, and I took a picture
Speaker 1: with him, and then right after the picture, he goes,
Speaker 1: you did you had to crouch? Didn't you? You had
Speaker 1: to crouch? I I sensed the crouch. He didn't have
Speaker 1: to crouch, but he crouched. Did I go, No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I didn't like I'm wearing heels, like it's like, not
Speaker 1: go you're not. Honestly, it wasn't a bad crouch at all.
Speaker 1: I always kind of like lean in to be closer
Speaker 1: to people. But then I realized Bruce Springsteen does the
Speaker 1: same crouch to play music. He's like crouched down like
Speaker 1: he's taking one heel. That was why the guy's backstage
Speaker 1: put a nail in it and fix it. They got
Speaker 1: me grilling glue, they got stuff. It would have been
Speaker 1: great out though. If you showed him your heel, that
Speaker 1: would have been perfect. Wait. Oh and and yeah he's
Speaker 1: short Springsteen not that tall, you know, he's sort too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: short man killing it king. Oh my god, Can I
Speaker 1: just say John Stewart hot? Yes, I'm sure it's and
Speaker 1: I know it's because he's funny and famous and all
Speaker 1: those things. He's hot. He's so hot. No one said
Speaker 1: he was ugly, no, no one did. But he's a
Speaker 1: but he's a like a cute guy. And I was
Speaker 1: just so nervous around it. But he was so nice.
Speaker 1: At one point we were all taking a picture and
Speaker 1: I put this in my Instagram story. But he said,
Speaker 1: this looks like the cast for that for an animated
Speaker 1: movie where it's like their buttons, but they came to life,
Speaker 1: and I was laughing sore, and I go and yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the first time any of these people have
Speaker 1: actually talked to each other, but in real life, and
Speaker 1: no one left in my life. Later on, Chris, the
Speaker 1: good guy I brought, he was like, that was fucking hilarious.
Speaker 1: I was like, thank you. I thought it was funny too.
Speaker 1: And then he's like, everyone's too nervous, runch on, they're
Speaker 1: not even listening. Yeah, I mean, look, you were at
Speaker 1: the same table with fucking and I was just kidding news.
Speaker 1: Oh man, sorry, we took off yesterday. I had to
Speaker 1: eat Jimmy John's and Nikki had to do something with
Speaker 1: Jon Stewart and the boss. Uh, you know the same thing.
Speaker 1: I hope you're having all the swells. And it's Tuesday,
Speaker 1: so everyone knows what that means. It's Tuesday, and uh yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: alright to California, couples have gave birth to each other's
Speaker 1: babies after a mix up at a fertility clinic and
Speaker 1: spent three months raising the wrong children that weren't there
Speaker 1: before swapping the infants. I mean, what's the difference at
Speaker 1: that point? Hey, oh you mean just keep I mean,
Speaker 1: after three months, you would feel very connected to this
Speaker 1: baby that you were with for three months, and then
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you're just are like, no, but
Speaker 1: it doesn't have the same d n A mistakenly give
Speaker 1: me back my baby. That looks like the other couple
Speaker 1: wanted their baby back. To want my baby. I want
Speaker 1: chilly baby back. Um Um, I just feel you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of like I want my
Speaker 1: d n A. I would have that reaction. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think it's sad. I bet I bet it wasn't easy,
Speaker 1: and I bet they will always feel deeply connected to
Speaker 1: those children that they raised for three One of the
Speaker 1: baby's was a darker shade than both the parents, and
Speaker 1: they were like, I guess it's like they were like
Speaker 1: trying to convince themselves, like over time, They're like, you
Speaker 1: just got a tan and an incubator. Yeah, he was. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean they were, you know, I mean that it's
Speaker 1: gonna be crazy. They said they're gonna stay friends, and
Speaker 1: I don't know if you have to after three months.
Speaker 1: So I feel like you're kind of like, no, that's
Speaker 1: such a crazy thing to happen that I think it
Speaker 1: could bind. Yeah, if you spent three months raising what
Speaker 1: you thought was your brand new baby and you were
Speaker 1: either you know, first time parents or you know, it's
Speaker 1: your baby, it's something that you just gave birth to.
Speaker 1: For the and and obviously they're at a fertility clinic
Speaker 1: so they've been working on having a kid. It makes
Speaker 1: a lot to them. You have a baby for three
Speaker 1: months that you think is yours that three months is
Speaker 1: so important in a new parents life to bond with
Speaker 1: their baby, that that bonding is more important than if
Speaker 1: the baby spent three years as an adolescent. I would say,
Speaker 1: not to mention, how crazy is it that you could
Speaker 1: put someone else's sperm and egg in another and it
Speaker 1: just develops. It's just sucking. That's wild to me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know. That's why I said, why doesn't every woman
Speaker 1: do a sergasy? Why would you ever if you could
Speaker 1: afford it, why would you ever do it yourself because
Speaker 1: you want to be pregnanty you would feel bad for
Speaker 1: the woman that has to do it. No, you pay
Speaker 1: her and she wants to do it. She's good at
Speaker 1: having babies, she's a good oven. Does people have c
Speaker 1: sections all the time? How many babies? I did a
Speaker 1: huge bit on it and perfect of like, I just
Speaker 1: found out a surfgacy. You can put your own egg
Speaker 1: and it comes out looking like it's it's you. She's
Speaker 1: just a carrier of it. And I'm like, why doesn't
Speaker 1: everyone do this? Yeah? Why wouldn't you do that? If
Speaker 1: you want to have your own baby and not like
Speaker 1: have your like But the thing is, I just want
Speaker 1: to do it because I want to like keep my figure.
Speaker 1: I remember the bit. My bit was like I would
Speaker 1: want to do it because I want to keep my figure,
Speaker 1: and you can't. That's too vain of a reason. So
Speaker 1: you have to like come up with like a like
Speaker 1: a thing you have that's like an affliction that you're like,
Speaker 1: I can't have my own baby because I just I
Speaker 1: have like my pussy is like too tight. It's like,
Speaker 1: so I came up with a thing called TPS type
Speaker 1: pussy syndrome. I just im. But Nikki, your baby would
Speaker 1: be so skinny for your type pussy. Know, even a
Speaker 1: skinny baby can't fit through it's so tight. I forgot
Speaker 1: the bed it was, it was pretty good bed. It's
Speaker 1: so weird that you can forget bets. Why doesn't Why
Speaker 1: don't people do that all the time? I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, who does the baby your eggs frozen? And
Speaker 1: the baby? I wonder if the baby can uh suck
Speaker 1: the woman's breasts that had the baby? Um, A baby
Speaker 1: can suck any woman's breast. But what the milk? Is
Speaker 1: the milk better from your own? Tit? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Well, you know and people that go you know, Um,
Speaker 1: I don't want to adopt because I just like don't
Speaker 1: know that. I like, it will be the same as
Speaker 1: if it's my own. It's like, so you think adopted
Speaker 1: children aren't has loved as biological children. You don't you
Speaker 1: think that? Like and they do? No, It's like, but
Speaker 1: you do. You just said it, so I would never
Speaker 1: I've never thought that parents that have adopted kids don't
Speaker 1: love their kids as much as parents that have their
Speaker 1: own kids. There's never been that for me, but I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people think that, and that would
Speaker 1: be I would be in rage if I were adopted
Speaker 1: child and most people thought that, And I think most
Speaker 1: people do. Yeah, I mean the Saragon thing though, even
Speaker 1: if you're getting paid, you got a bond with that.
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a crazy job. I don't know
Speaker 1: how people do it. I don't know how people do it. Like,
Speaker 1: you don't think you bond with the baby it's in
Speaker 1: your nine months? Yeah, But I mean there's girls that
Speaker 1: give their own babies up and not let alone it
Speaker 1: not being your egg or the sperm of a person
Speaker 1: that you're with, or women love the picture to like
Speaker 1: two months, four months, six of their belly six months.
Speaker 1: It's here. It's a baby. It's a boy or a girl.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to show the photo though, because it's ours.
Speaker 1: But I did lead you to the whole way. I've
Speaker 1: used this baby to get likes, but I'm not showing
Speaker 1: the face. Oh yeah, uh anyhow, but yeah, that was
Speaker 1: that was wild. There's a great This American Life called
Speaker 1: Switched to Birth. I'm not kidding you. If you need
Speaker 1: to crank out, if you need to waste two hours
Speaker 1: of your life. One of the most compelling things I've
Speaker 1: ever listened to was the This American Life episode Switched
Speaker 1: at Birth, which is the same thing that happened, but
Speaker 1: the babies were born on the same day or around
Speaker 1: the same time, and they got switched to the hospital,
Speaker 1: and they were raised in the same community at the
Speaker 1: same they went to the same school all their lives.
Speaker 1: And one of the moms knew but never said anything
Speaker 1: because it was the fifties or it was like the
Speaker 1: sixties or whatever, and she was just like, you don't
Speaker 1: question a doctor, and it would make the doctor seem
Speaker 1: like he did a bad job, and you don't question
Speaker 1: a male doctor even though she knew. So she was
Speaker 1: like obsessed with the other girl because she knew it
Speaker 1: was hers. It was it's wild and it shows you,
Speaker 1: like what nature and nurture can both do because both
Speaker 1: did you see the documentary about the triplets, the three
Speaker 1: guys and then they came together and then they were
Speaker 1: like sex symbols for like a year. Everyone's like, who's
Speaker 1: these three like long island a towing kids and they
Speaker 1: were all smoking and like being treated like gods. You know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just really funny. And but yeah,
Speaker 1: you see nurture, firth nature, but then you can see
Speaker 1: how many things they have in common even though they
Speaker 1: are raised by other That's what they found. It was
Speaker 1: with adoption. I Q is not affected by nature or nurture.
Speaker 1: It's all nature. No matter what. You're not going to
Speaker 1: affect a child's i Q by like doing things differently.
Speaker 1: The kid is like, is what it is? That's all.
Speaker 1: My cousins adopted two Russian kids from like yeah, like
Speaker 1: straight up. But I've never questioned a parent's love for
Speaker 1: their child is less or more than that of someone
Speaker 1: who has their own child. Ever, But I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people do. They came to the DC show,
Speaker 1: Oh I like them. Um, they were so nice. They're
Speaker 1: the best next story. They're funny. They told the story.
Speaker 1: They're like ones in law school and the other one
Speaker 1: lives in our basement, but they lead with law school.
Speaker 1: It's pretty fun. Anyways. Researchers behind the study titled sand
Speaker 1: son See and Sex with Strangers the Five s Is
Speaker 1: found that tours hooking up in the Canary Islands are
Speaker 1: destroying fragile and sand dune habitats. What did you just say?
Speaker 1: What was any of that? Honestly, I was reading this
Speaker 1: Samsun Sea and sex was Yeah, just picked the ssayest
Speaker 1: news story. Okay, So can I tell you what I
Speaker 1: gleaned from it? In the Canary Islands, there are people
Speaker 1: having sex in the sand and it's sucking up like habitats, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: like calm getting places like they're just fucking too hard.
Speaker 1: They're ruining yeah. Uh. And there's the native plants that
Speaker 1: are dying because of it because they're like yeah, um,
Speaker 1: I could see this happening. I mean the other day
Speaker 1: we walked across the lawn at that resort and I
Speaker 1: was like, Andrew, you can't walk across the grass. I mean,
Speaker 1: I think that was a crazy thing. It just doesn't.
Speaker 1: It was in front of so many people, and we're
Speaker 1: at this resort as like we're working for the resort.
Speaker 1: It just felt like we shouldn't walk across graves with grass.
Speaker 1: You playing grass, grass comes back. But I'm just saying
Speaker 1: for me, it just looks bad when their paths that
Speaker 1: we are just because like grasses, like it's manicured someone's
Speaker 1: someone's job is to keep that grass looking as great
Speaker 1: as possible. And if you create, tread over it walking.
Speaker 1: I get what you were saying. It was in front
Speaker 1: of a lot of people, so I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: these people, these the performers. We were a little bit
Speaker 1: like fun this place, Like it just felt like but
Speaker 1: I've did it. I mean I followed you. I was like,
Speaker 1: why are we crossing? Because we didn't want to walk
Speaker 1: extra four paces. We haven't gone over Camcoon or anything.
Speaker 1: We've been in a million places. I mean, life was
Speaker 1: insane this past weekend. I don't know how your sta Donnell.
Speaker 1: Last night, Donal was in Cancoon with us. I saw
Speaker 1: him all over the resort, like he's everywhere. So I
Speaker 1: saw him last night and we went to the event
Speaker 1: and then afterwards back at the hotel. Uh my friend
Speaker 1: and I were like walking around Times Square trying to
Speaker 1: find food because it was late and that's where our
Speaker 1: hotel was by. And on the way back we run
Speaker 1: into Donnelle and he's like with a wounded soldier and
Speaker 1: he's like going. He's like, we're gonna we're gonna go
Speaker 1: do karaoke. Come on, NICKI come on. And early in
Speaker 1: Cancoon he was like, Nikki, let's smoke some weed. Let's
Speaker 1: smoke some weed. And I go, Donald, I don't smoke
Speaker 1: weed anymore. And he's like, well, let's go get a drink.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't drink and he goes, oh,
Speaker 1: so you funk a lot. So you funk a lot.
Speaker 1: And I was like, I mean, I guess. I guess
Speaker 1: I could be addicted to sex. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: I don't think I am. Um, but it was you.
Speaker 1: It is interesting, like that is addiction. Like people stopped
Speaker 1: drinking and then they just start sucking a tonne. You
Speaker 1: just find something else. So he wasn't off, but he
Speaker 1: ran to him and I go, Donnelle, I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: to bed, like I go, I'm so tired. He's like,
Speaker 1: you're always tired. You're always tired. I'm gonna tell people
Speaker 1: Nikki is not as fun as she seems. And I
Speaker 1: was like, done, hell, I am fun. I swear to god,
Speaker 1: I'm fun. I've just I've had the longest hame day.
Speaker 1: And he goes, you don't think I work hard, You're
Speaker 1: gonna play the work hard card? And I go, yeah, Donnelle,
Speaker 1: I go, I know it was in Cancun, but when
Speaker 1: I'm not in Cancun, I'm doing other work all the time.
Speaker 1: It doesn't stop for me. Right now it's and he
Speaker 1: was like, you're you're trying to play this game. He
Speaker 1: was like he was like getting mad at me, and
Speaker 1: I was like, donnell I'm not having this conversation. I
Speaker 1: was like, I go, okay, fine, one song because I
Speaker 1: thought the karaoke place he was like just right there.
Speaker 1: And he goes and I go. He goes, all right,
Speaker 1: let's do it. Get in the card. I go, I'm
Speaker 1: not getting at a goddamn car. I go donell no,
Speaker 1: and he was just like, I'm gonna tell everyone you're

Speaker 1: was like, I'm not. I wanted to gell to him.
Speaker 1: I'm about to go get fucked. That's what I want
Speaker 1: to do. I should have said that. I should have
Speaker 1: been like, I'm about to go have sex dot al yeah,
Speaker 1: at least two of them, but he was. It was
Speaker 1: It enraged me because I was just trying to prove
Speaker 1: to him and my feet hurt so fucking bad. Last
Speaker 1: night so bad. And that is something that men do
Speaker 1: not understand. When you're at the end of the night
Speaker 1: and heels you. It's just there's no And I didn't
Speaker 1: bring little like slip on. It was just it was torture.
Speaker 1: I was in so much pain. I don't know how
Speaker 1: people can get can do. It's weird how like certain
Speaker 1: comedians like the attention train just never stops. Like for me,
Speaker 1: if I do a show, even if it's ten minutes
Speaker 1: or twenty minutes, I'm good. I'm good on the attack.
Speaker 1: Like I don't mean about when you drank. Maybe I
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess, yeah, I don't drink. Yeah, you're drunk, right,
Speaker 1: It's like finding the next bar. It's my god, when
Speaker 1: I was drinking, the night never ended. Yeah. I always
Speaker 1: want to and I would tell everyone you're you're lame,
Speaker 1: you suck going to it because the night doesn't seem
Speaker 1: long you're drinking. You kind of like you kind of
Speaker 1: like just five hours can seem like ten minutes when
Speaker 1: you're so hungry. I was tired, my feet hurt, and
Speaker 1: I did say I would sing one song if it
Speaker 1: was close by. And then he was like, let's get
Speaker 1: in the car, and I go no, no, no. Um.
Speaker 1: But he's mad at me, I think now, because I
Speaker 1: sent him a picture of us this morning to make peace,
Speaker 1: and I edited this beautiful photo of him, me and
Speaker 1: Nate in the street. It's so cool looking. It looks
Speaker 1: like we should go and tour together just because of
Speaker 1: this photo. It's so cool. But he never wrote back
Speaker 1: to us. I think he's mad. Maybe he's still sleeping
Speaker 1: because he went out. That could be right, that could
Speaker 1: be right. Okay, let's go to break real quick and
Speaker 1: then come back with why do I care? Hey? Why
Speaker 1: do I care? Why do I care? Um? I don't
Speaker 1: know if you saw, I mean, this has been everywhere
Speaker 1: after world. How did she know? I don't know. She
Speaker 1: probably saw the email. Maybe no and I were talking
Speaker 1: about and I was like, I think if you just wait,
Speaker 1: you might learn some things. So Drake issued a statement
Speaker 1: on Travis Scott's after a world festival where he made
Speaker 1: a surprise appearance before a stampede of concertgars led to
Speaker 1: the death of eight people and injuries to many of others.
Speaker 1: He champagne Poppy Drake's Instagram, he wrote, I've spent the
Speaker 1: past few days trying to wrap my mind around this
Speaker 1: devastating tragedy. I hate resorting to this platform to express
Speaker 1: an emotion as delicate as grief, but this is where
Speaker 1: I find myself. My heart is broken for the families
Speaker 1: and friends of those who lost their lives, for anyone
Speaker 1: who is suffering. I will continue to pray for all
Speaker 1: of them and will be of service in any way
Speaker 1: I can. May God be with you all. Oh. He
Speaker 1: even wrote it kind of cool, looks like a rap.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it's all like centered and it's it's not
Speaker 1: like on notes how you would do it? Like even
Speaker 1: his thing had to be cool. It had to Yeah,
Speaker 1: there was like does he gave it to someone to
Speaker 1: be like put some flare on this, you make it
Speaker 1: look he gave it to his like design guy. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know, do you think he's really praying for
Speaker 1: these people? I think he probably is. Well, I mean
Speaker 1: it was Travis Scott's concert. I mean Travis Scott was
Speaker 1: kind of the mastermind behind this. I mean he's had
Speaker 1: this before, and he's had like past things where like
Speaker 1: he's he's incited violence, like multiple times, he's been like charged,
Speaker 1: Like his whole thing is like, funk the system if
Speaker 1: you if you don't have a ticket, just come and
Speaker 1: jump the barrier like he and so everyone's like, but
Speaker 1: you can't blame him. He's just saying that's like you
Speaker 1: can't blame Hitler for inciting violence, Like if you don't
Speaker 1: pull the trigger, that doesn't mean. Look, I think on
Speaker 1: the same token, you can say these fucking fans are
Speaker 1: out of their mind. Like you could blame both people,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I hate when people are like, no,
Speaker 1: it's thereful, it's it's both there, it's both and listen,
Speaker 1: I could I could forgive young Travis Scott if he
Speaker 1: would realize that he had a part to play in
Speaker 1: it and he feels bad and isn't going to do
Speaker 1: it anymore. But this, like, no, I didn't do anything wrong.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna apologize. I'm so sorry for the victims,
Speaker 1: but I didn't do anything wrong. Come on, I think
Speaker 1: he says that because probably the law he could probably
Speaker 1: lose fifty million dollars or something. I don't know, right,
Speaker 1: there's already lawsuits filed against him. Yeah, there's a there's
Speaker 1: a moment where he stops the crowd and and it's
Speaker 1: like what's going on? And he sees the ambulance and
Speaker 1: he's like, nah, fuck it, let's keep going. And there's
Speaker 1: another thirty minutes after it's already been like labeled a
Speaker 1: uh like a whatever like whatever event like and uh,
Speaker 1: you can see robot dancing ambulance is there? Yeah, like
Speaker 1: pulling out dead people. And the concert went on for
Speaker 1: another with a syringe in the neck. Did you hear
Speaker 1: that part? Yeah, there's another thing about a guy going
Speaker 1: which is like that's an old tale, but I wonder
Speaker 1: if that's a real thing. I mean that in the
Speaker 1: movie theater Seat and then it says you have eight
Speaker 1: There there was some guy at our our middle school
Speaker 1: who was like giving people high fives, and he had
Speaker 1: like a needle in his hand. What didn't have aids
Speaker 1: on it, but I mean it could have or whatever.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Andrew just got so scared. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we made fun of hollow my friend hollow hoopie when
Speaker 1: she laughed because she was like so she was like
Speaker 1: yeah fuck yeah, Like she was just excited if anyone
Speaker 1: was like trying to be friends and there she was
Speaker 1: like fuck yeah five. It was like oh it was um, yeah,
Speaker 1: people would do that with a thumb tax. That's so
Speaker 1: insane anyways. But yeah, so, um, who's who do you
Speaker 1: think is to blame? At what point is the artist
Speaker 1: uh at fault? I mean i'd have to say he
Speaker 1: probably is, Like it's uh, I don't know. I don't
Speaker 1: really believe in blame, but that's me. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I know that, Like I just read like I just
Speaker 1: don't believe in locking him up up or I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: is it gonna Is it gonna bring back your son?
Speaker 1: You lost no money? Sure? Yeah? They should do better
Speaker 1: about Like he should not be able to work venues
Speaker 1: that don't want people dying at their venues. Thevenue should
Speaker 1: take an initiative to not book him or allow him
Speaker 1: to be at their places because they don't like his
Speaker 1: Like it's up to people like that. He clearly is
Speaker 1: not going to ever see the error of his ways
Speaker 1: and take a credibile or accountability. So when you deal
Speaker 1: with someone that's never gonna that is not operating by
Speaker 1: just you know, it's not going to acknowledge the truth,
Speaker 1: don't try to like get it out of Just let
Speaker 1: them go and just don't give them the opportunity. Don't
Speaker 1: buy tickets. And if people still buy tickets to his
Speaker 1: shows and want to support him, then it's you're Then
Speaker 1: you're you are liable to get trampled, and it's now
Speaker 1: it's I don't think it's anyone's fault. It's just like
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just hate this. Like I just
Speaker 1: read something on Reddit. Actually, let's get to reddit dump.
Speaker 1: This is your Reddit dump. This is actually a sad
Speaker 1: Reddit thing that I read. But it was a you know,
Speaker 1: I followed last images on reddita that's the last picture
Speaker 1: that exists if someone before they died, And there was
Speaker 1: this one of this little boy that was on a
Speaker 1: fishing trip with his dad and he was just like
Speaker 1: a cute little boy, and his dad posted it and
Speaker 1: was like, you know, this last photo of my son
Speaker 1: on the way back from this fishing trip. A woman
Speaker 1: had not hooked up her dog crate on her roof,
Speaker 1: um secured it and it came out, it came off
Speaker 1: the car and you know, smashed indoors and and killed
Speaker 1: him on impact and tragic little four year old boys.
Speaker 1: So sad. And I was reading the comments and people
Speaker 1: were writing like so sorry for what happened to him
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. And someone was like, what happened
Speaker 1: to the woman? Did she face an charges? And he
Speaker 1: was like, no, not yet. Um I want her to
Speaker 1: lose everything, And I'm just like, I don't know what
Speaker 1: it's like to lose your son or to lose a
Speaker 1: family member. I might be on that side of like
Speaker 1: I would. I don't think that woman intended to kill anyone.
Speaker 1: Like accidents happened, Yes, she should have secured it better,
Speaker 1: but like it to me, it's like to lose you
Speaker 1: wanted to lose, you wanted to go away and rot
Speaker 1: in in prison. I mean for doing the thing that
Speaker 1: seems like the worst thing in the world, is like
Speaker 1: contributing to the loss of your son, but like it's
Speaker 1: it was an accident, and I just I don't know.
Speaker 1: I would have to. People could say, Nikki, you wouldn't
Speaker 1: do the same. You just put yourself in their shoes,
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to and I could never do that
Speaker 1: without knowing what it's like to have your love for
Speaker 1: your child and all those things and to lose someone
Speaker 1: that you love so much that that's so young. How
Speaker 1: I would feel if someone if that happened to my
Speaker 1: nephew or my niece. Um, But I don't think the
Speaker 1: answer is locking someone up because they didn't secure a
Speaker 1: dog cage well enough on their car and it led
Speaker 1: to the death. Yeah, it doesn't bring your son back,
Speaker 1: I think she obviously. Don't you think it's punishment enough
Speaker 1: that this woman has to live her life knowing that
Speaker 1: because she didn't secure a bungee chord she killed a child.
Speaker 1: Isn't that punishment enough? It's it's fucking brutal. I think
Speaker 1: I guess if you're gonna it's negligence obviously, But like
Speaker 1: I've done, I agree. I think I think what happens
Speaker 1: for me, it would be how how stupid was the negligence?
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Like, and even then I
Speaker 1: get what you're saying, but I'm just saying, like if
Speaker 1: I was, like if they did something so it's like
Speaker 1: someone putting a fridge just in the in the back
Speaker 1: of a truck without tying it down. But if she
Speaker 1: tried to tie it down and she put bungee chords
Speaker 1: and she thought it was secure, then yeah I could,
Speaker 1: I could probably, you know what I mean, Like, there's
Speaker 1: certain accidents that could have been avoided. Yes, where I go, Okay, well,
Speaker 1: you know what, Like I don't know, I even think
Speaker 1: that if I get it, I'm not. I don't know
Speaker 1: what's life and hopefully I'll never have to experience it.
Speaker 1: But I even think if it was a drunk driver,
Speaker 1: like if it was a young kid that just truly
Speaker 1: didn't know better, or someone that was an addict and
Speaker 1: had a tough life and they just drank too much
Speaker 1: that led them to drive, I would be so angry
Speaker 1: and like heartbroken and fucking furious. But I think putting
Speaker 1: that person away for life and ruining their life, it
Speaker 1: now ruins two lives. And that person's life is already ruined.
Speaker 1: Their addiction, their selfish addiction just had them kill someone else,
Speaker 1: and it's I don't know. I know I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: a lot of hate for this, but I just I
Speaker 1: don't see how that brings anything back. I don't know.
Speaker 1: If there's like a Holocaust survivor Reddit, but they have
Speaker 1: very interesting perspectives on on forgiveness. Yeah, well, it kind
Speaker 1: of goes with with what you're saying. In order for
Speaker 1: them to have closure, you have to forgive it. So
Speaker 1: if you just go through their stories, it's I don't know,
Speaker 1: it's very open. My problem with the d u I
Speaker 1: stuff is that everyone talks so much shit about it,
Speaker 1: but how many Again it goes back to like how
Speaker 1: many people have driven drunk? It literally everyone. They don't
Speaker 1: even like if you're someone that goes no, dude, I well,
Speaker 1: I had like three drinks one time and drew. Well
Speaker 1: you if someone you love died, because if someone took
Speaker 1: three drinks and killed them, you would want the person
Speaker 1: to rotten hell that could have been you. Well, it
Speaker 1: goes back to this football player just happened to who
Speaker 1: was on the Oakland Raiders. But it was man like
Speaker 1: I was going a hundred and fifties. No I'm not
Speaker 1: saying that he deserves to go no, no, no, but
Speaker 1: I'm saying how much worse it looks if you're going
Speaker 1: a hundred fifties, Like just that line alone, if he
Speaker 1: was going you know, sixty, If you don't, it's just
Speaker 1: it's so weird it shows more negligence. Yes, yeah, agreed.
Speaker 1: And there's a part of part of me that if
Speaker 1: that if I lost someone to that guy, I'd go
Speaker 1: get get that, go away, because you're an adult person
Speaker 1: who has the ability to make sound choices. But I
Speaker 1: guess I could extend it like he's an addict. He
Speaker 1: is under the influence of fame and looking cold and
Speaker 1: had to speed. I could probably, if I did enough work,
Speaker 1: get to the place where I would try to forgive
Speaker 1: that person and understand that if I was born in
Speaker 1: his body all and his experience, I would have made
Speaker 1: all the same choices that would have led me to
Speaker 1: going a hundred fifty six miles an hour, and like
Speaker 1: he couldn't help it, like I couldn't get I could
Speaker 1: get there, but boy it would be hard. Um, you're right.
Speaker 1: It does come down to like little things like that,
Speaker 1: and at what speed is it? Like there's got to
Speaker 1: be a point tenth of a speed and you're going
Speaker 1: I would go, okay, but if you're that you would
Speaker 1: suck a dick for a rice. Yeah, but there is,
Speaker 1: but there is a ten cent difference where you'd go nos. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there has to be, because if if there's a time
Speaker 1: that you would and there's a time that you wouldn't.
Speaker 1: For a certain price, there has to be a cut off,
Speaker 1: and it comes down to it like you could probably
Speaker 1: get it to a ten cent, but my argument would
Speaker 1: be then it would be like either a million dollars
Speaker 1: or nine. So let's take off another ten CeNSE. Okay,
Speaker 1: we'll do it another ten cents. Okay, I'll do it.
Speaker 1: At what point does it get down to a place
Speaker 1: where you go, I'm not going to do it. Okay,
Speaker 1: here's one. This is from Not the Onion. These are um,
Speaker 1: this is the sub right called not the Onion. It's
Speaker 1: news articles that read like they're from the Onion. They're
Speaker 1: actually real. So I love these. This one says, faced
Speaker 1: with soaring d's and f's schools are ditching the old
Speaker 1: way of grading. So teachers now just don't know what
Speaker 1: they're passing kids that they that would be faced with
Speaker 1: soaring d's and f's. Yes, schools, I know, soaring d's
Speaker 1: face with sore d's face with soaring d s and
Speaker 1: f schools are ditching the old way of grading. So
Speaker 1: now because are on the rise, Yes, because after COVID
Speaker 1: they've seen a lot of kids just stopped trying because
Speaker 1: during COVID no one needed to try. My sister was
Speaker 1: a teacher, and like, they didn't have homework. The kids
Speaker 1: were under so much dress and stress that they just
Speaker 1: were like Also, kids were fine, they were playing a lot,
Speaker 1: like what are we dude? I was reading this article.
Speaker 1: It's this is the wild part that I wanted to read.
Speaker 1: It said, Um, it's just funny to me because like,
Speaker 1: growing up, you're like you would do anything to get
Speaker 1: a day off school, and now you have so many
Speaker 1: days off school and you're like, they missed school. Someone said,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, they're just dying to
Speaker 1: get back to school. I mean the idea of getting
Speaker 1: a G in school was not an option for me.
Speaker 1: But the idea that you could pass with a D. Now,
Speaker 1: it says, hey teacher here, this is a comment. Over
Speaker 1: three fourths of my students, UH read at a blow
Speaker 1: a fifth grade reading level. I teach eleventh grade. Next
Speaker 1: year is my last year of teaching. I will never
Speaker 1: look back. Fuck the system that's enabled all of this,
Speaker 1: someone said, former teacher here. Last year, when COVID happened,
Speaker 1: I had to hand a diploma to a child who
Speaker 1: did a single assignment for the whole year and had
Speaker 1: a six average for quarter one. I don't know what
Speaker 1: that means. And boy am I ecstatic about the former part. Um.
Speaker 1: Someone said, my parents and all of my grandparents were
Speaker 1: all teachers. I grew up in school when this was.
Speaker 1: I grew up in school even when I was out
Speaker 1: of school. And yeah, funck that ship. Um, someone said, yeah,
Speaker 1: everyone's saying teacher as well. It seems to get worse
Speaker 1: every year. Half of my nine ten students are fourth
Speaker 1: and fifth grade reading level. How the funk am I
Speaker 1: supposed to teach scientific literacy at the high school level
Speaker 1: if they aren't able to read and write? People are
Speaker 1: just saying, uh, teaching like people? Teachers are dropping like
Speaker 1: flies and not looking back. Well, I mean, what do
Speaker 1: you do then? What do you do if you're in
Speaker 1: tenth grade and they've just passed this kid because it's
Speaker 1: easier to pass him than in price, because they want
Speaker 1: to keep kids the same eight It's really yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so what do you But what do you do? Do
Speaker 1: you do you hold them back until they're caught up?
Speaker 1: You know, like what, I don't know what the better
Speaker 1: teachers better? Better? Um? I mean what the answer is
Speaker 1: is catching it before obviously gets to tent. I don't
Speaker 1: even think it's better teachers. It's like smaller numbers of students,
Speaker 1: more funding for schools. It's like we just were kind
Speaker 1: of screwed. There's a lot of dummies coming coming out.
Speaker 1: I feel like I probably read on fifth grade level
Speaker 1: now talk on one. No, I feel like kids are
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot smarter in ways because of all
Speaker 1: the things they learn online from constantly being like connected
Speaker 1: and exposed to so much new information. But also, you know,
Speaker 1: extremely stupid. You see it on TikTok when kids write
Speaker 1: things or in YouTube comments. You see how illiterate people are.
Speaker 1: You can also but yeah, but then they can maybe
Speaker 1: make a hell of a video TikTok. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean, Like like they you're not gonna read as much,
Speaker 1: probably anymore. Like I don't read as much because we
Speaker 1: have everything in our phone, and like that doesn't mean
Speaker 1: you don't learn as much, but you're but how we
Speaker 1: judge it might have to change, Okay, final thought? You
Speaker 1: know what I mean though, Like how you judge how No,
Speaker 1: it's it's I think it's pretty straightforward. Final thought. This
Speaker 1: one is from too afraid to ask. These are where
Speaker 1: people write things that they're too afraid to ask, like
Speaker 1: they're friends. I'm not afraid edging this says, is it
Speaker 1: that is? Is it that weird that my brother and
Speaker 1: I snuggle? Basically the title, my brother three and I
Speaker 1: twenty three, are twins. We lived together to so we
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time together. We both go to
Speaker 1: grad schools in the same city. Anyway, sometimes we cuddle
Speaker 1: while hanging out or talking, or like if one of
Speaker 1: us is said about something or watching TV. It's not
Speaker 1: a secret. And my new boyfriend thinks it's extremely weird
Speaker 1: to be that close with a sibling. He's uncomfortable with it.
Speaker 1: I think it's gross that my boyfriend is acting jealous
Speaker 1: of my relationship with my brother. However, we've spoken to
Speaker 1: some friends and gotten mixed reactions ranging from what the
Speaker 1: funk to must be a twin thing too? Doesn't that seem?
Speaker 1: Doesn't seem that weird? So I want the opinion of
Speaker 1: unbiased strangers. Is it that weird that we cuddle? Is it?
Speaker 1: Two boys? Uh? Boy and a girl? Boy and a girl?
Speaker 1: Which you know? What would that matter? Yeah? I know,
Speaker 1: I know, I guess it it shouldn't matter, But she says,
Speaker 1: we just cuddle whenever we were at the same when
Speaker 1: whenever we are at the wherever we are at the time,
Speaker 1: usually living room or his room since that's where the
Speaker 1: TVs are, And we don't really spoon. No, because the
Speaker 1: when I asked you guys spoon, I mean I part
Speaker 1: of me I think it's a beautiful thing. I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't think i'd have a problem with it. It's
Speaker 1: not like it's sexual or anything. But you know, and twins,
Speaker 1: you're in the womb together twins. Um, yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: have an issue with it. I mean if the boyfriend
Speaker 1: was there and she decided to cuddle with the brothers, Okay,
Speaker 1: so she made that distinction. Noah, where are you split
Speaker 1: on this? Because she goes, I've been told in Um,
Speaker 1: we don't generally spoon unless we fall asleep cuddling and
Speaker 1: happened to wake up that way. Our other brothers never
Speaker 1: mentioned it being weird growing up. Our parents were taken
Speaker 1: out of the picture when we were very young, so
Speaker 1: we never had their input on the subject. Um. Someone said,
Speaker 1: I do not cuddle with my twin in front of
Speaker 1: my boyfriend. I think I have held twins hand in
Speaker 1: front of my boyfriend and sat between them on the
Speaker 1: couch for a scary movie night. But that's about it
Speaker 1: for the most part. If boyfriend is over, twin is
Speaker 1: out with a girl, other friends, or in his room,
Speaker 1: or boyfriend and I are in my room. Mostly we
Speaker 1: don't spend time at the condo, so it's not that
Speaker 1: I'm cuddling with my twin instead of boyfriend. I would
Speaker 1: feel as long as my partner that they were with
Speaker 1: cuddling with someone and they were cuddling in a way
Speaker 1: that I craved that kind of cuddling, like that kind
Speaker 1: of intimacy, and they wouldn't give it to me too,
Speaker 1: or it was like it seemed like something I would want,
Speaker 1: like romantic, then it would bother me. But if it
Speaker 1: was just like twins, it is a twin thing. Gotta
Speaker 1: be honest, like they were in the womb together. You
Speaker 1: have to trust if if the person says it's not sexual,
Speaker 1: you have to trust them or you can or you
Speaker 1: think they're lying and you don't have a trusting relationship.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think, I think, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I've had situations where I've been jealous of you know
Speaker 1: a boyfriend being like, you know, kind or gentle in
Speaker 1: a way with either their siblings or their girl friends
Speaker 1: in a way that I'm just like, well, you don't
Speaker 1: do that with me, So like that's what it hurts.
Speaker 1: It's like, you can do that with a friend, but
Speaker 1: you can't do that with me. And that's when I
Speaker 1: start to go, Okay, that's fucked. But I don't know twins.
Speaker 1: It's a whole other bag of bullshit. Twins are special needs,
Speaker 1: they really are they. I mean, I'm jealous of twins
Speaker 1: and that I think it's sweet, and I don't think
Speaker 1: I would stop my I would maybe say it's a
Speaker 1: little weird. Guys, maybe just don't do that in front
Speaker 1: of people. If I was like her mom, but I
Speaker 1: don't know the way that girl talks, she sounded like
Speaker 1: she was completely trustworthy and that she's just like her
Speaker 1: and her brother. If the brother was gay, everyone would
Speaker 1: be like it's fine. Or if it was two girls,
Speaker 1: w'd be like, it's fine, but it's just interesting just
Speaker 1: because um, they could be attracted to each other based
Speaker 1: on what they say they're attracted to. It's a problem. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've definitely laid in my brother's arms before yes, you
Speaker 1: know yeah. All right, Well that's the show for today.
Speaker 1: We have a lot more show for you this whole week.
Speaker 1: We'll be back. Don't worry. We're not gonna abandon you again. Uh,
Speaker 1: don't be cut out there and
