Speaker 1: The Knickkkei Gliser podcast O n Glasers Hello, Oh sorry, hello.
Speaker 1: I don't know why I did that. I was like
Speaker 1: expecting you to do it, and then I was like, wait,
Speaker 1: you should be talking.
Speaker 2: It's like my brain just did it. It's it's labor day.
Speaker 1: Still, It's fine. Can it still be labor day? Does
Speaker 1: anyone else feel like it wasn't long enough? Yes? It
Speaker 1: was so one more day. It was so nice. I
Speaker 1: slept in from set, I got back from a gig
Speaker 1: on Sunday, went to bed at eleven, woke up yesterday
Speaker 1: twelve thirty five. Wow, it was awesome. I woke up
Speaker 1: around nine, you know, and just was like, no, not
Speaker 1: doing it. Chris was taking care of the dog. He
Speaker 1: was already up. I knew that was happening, and yeah,
Speaker 1: it was just it was delightful. Did I feel guilty
Speaker 1: and feel like shit the rest of the day, You
Speaker 1: know it, you know it. But I still loved it
Speaker 1: so much. I'm just I'm like in my sleep era
Speaker 1: right now. I feel like there's a lot of work
Speaker 1: coming up, and I'm just hibernating, trying to like reserve
Speaker 1: get all that, even though that's not how sleep works.
Speaker 1: And we all know that just trying to rest anytime
Speaker 1: I can, saying no to literally everything, everything that's coming
Speaker 1: in besides things that you know I have to do
Speaker 1: and have committed to. That's a new thing. I'm loving that.
Speaker 1: Just knocked a post thing off the wall. Saying no
Speaker 1: to that. It says, put me back up, not gone.
Speaker 1: I actually I want to because it's like my OCD
Speaker 1: like and it's velcro. It should go back up. Sorry
Speaker 1: you guys, if you're not watching the YouTube version, I
Speaker 1: just knocked am.
Speaker 3: Off the wall, gone off the chain. Now she's off
Speaker 3: the rails.
Speaker 1: I mean she's I'm so off the rails, guys. Enjoy
Speaker 1: your weekend.
Speaker 3: I waver between enjoying holidays and despising holidays, depending on
Speaker 3: whether I'm trying to be product or not. I remember like,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, if I'm trying to be productive and it's
Speaker 3: like I need to go to the post office or
Speaker 3: I need to go to the bank, or I need
Speaker 3: people to like respond to an email, and then I
Speaker 3: look and it's like Memorial Day. Yeah, I'm like, why
Speaker 3: the fuck do we have this day off? Even though
Speaker 3: obviously there's good reasons for.
Speaker 2: It to vision you want to get shipped done.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but then there are times when it's like I
Speaker 3: just want to relax, I just need a break. And
Speaker 3: then I look at it and just like a random Wednesday,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, why do we have this to work today?
Speaker 3: So it really is they should have arranged the holidays
Speaker 3: around when I'm trying to be productive, is my point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I I forget that things are closed in people,
Speaker 1: but things aren't closed, is the thing. Everyone's working, everything's open,
Speaker 1: everything's disgruntled working on Labor Day as.
Speaker 3: They shouldst society has gone out of control.
Speaker 1: It's it's out of control.
Speaker 3: Working from home. We thought that because we're working from home,
Speaker 3: we're gonna have to work less. No, that just means
Speaker 3: you're working twenty four to seven.
Speaker 2: We all know that this is killing us.
Speaker 1: And like the greed and the overachieving and trying to
Speaker 1: in the hustle culture and proving everyone that we're doing
Speaker 1: things the grind set, just proving that, just proving to
Speaker 1: everyone that we're working so hard.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we all know that it's like not.
Speaker 3: Good for you to get your ice bath today, exactly,
Speaker 3: you got your ice bath five am.
Speaker 1: Even relaxing, that's something self care and that is hard
Speaker 1: like an ice bath is hell, like self care is
Speaker 1: now turning into work too. Now yeah, to suffer and
Speaker 1: shiver in a shower.
Speaker 3: My shock demat, Yeah you are.
Speaker 1: You are trying to lay for your overall well being.
Speaker 1: You lay on spikes.
Speaker 3: Yes, I lay on spikes for thirty minutes before bed
Speaker 3: each day, each night.
Speaker 1: What happened until twelve thirty five on a Sunday?
Speaker 3: Even the nineties anymore? Nikki? This isn't the stoner era?
Speaker 3: You a slacker?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Man, it used to be cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 4: I have a new rule. I think it's like it
Speaker 4: came with a age. Okay, okay.
Speaker 1: Now rule is.
Speaker 4: I don't like doing anything strenuous a day before work starts,
Speaker 4: So like Sundays for me, I will not travel. I
Speaker 4: will not do anything ambitious like a big hike or
Speaker 4: sight seeing or anything crazy like that, like dinner, party
Speaker 4: or anything like that. Sundays are just for doing nothing,
Speaker 4: literal nothing, getting ready for my life.
Speaker 1: When the girl's chat, I even went to the park
Speaker 1: to I always go to the park with my dog.
Speaker 1: It's very easy. It makes me feel like I've done something.
Speaker 1: I throw the ball three times. She's worn out and
Speaker 1: then we leave and it's near my house. It's so easy,
Speaker 1: but it makes you feel.
Speaker 2: So much like I've done something.
Speaker 1: It literally takes fifteen minutes between when I leave the
Speaker 1: door and I enter back into my apartment.
Speaker 2: It's so easy.
Speaker 1: But I was at the park and I saw a
Speaker 1: guy like flying a kite with his son, and it
Speaker 1: infuriated me because I was like, I can't prob why
Speaker 1: does anyone want to do that? Even though I loved
Speaker 1: flying kites as a kid and we would go up
Speaker 1: to Depara Park all the time with my dad and
Speaker 1: fly kites. And I was so grateful that he wanted
Speaker 1: to do that and was like so game for it,
Speaker 1: and but I was just like I would never want
Speaker 1: to do that now. And then it made me mad
Speaker 1: at myself, like why can't I be someone who wants
Speaker 1: to show a child the world? And I had a
Speaker 1: dream I was pregnant this weekend, and I kind of
Speaker 1: like liked being pregnant because I just was like ha haa
Speaker 1: everyone that thought I couldn't do it, like it was
Speaker 1: just a me showing off that I could do I honestly.
Speaker 3: Number three three type, what.
Speaker 1: Do you mean a pregnant just to be like yeah,
Speaker 1: I can do it too, or just like you know,
Speaker 1: like and because I know it is such a physically
Speaker 1: exhausting and difficult thing to even achieve first of all,
Speaker 1: and there's like some kind of like superiority that women
Speaker 1: who can conceive naturally feel that is is wrong and
Speaker 1: I'm not perpetuating that, but it's in our culture that
Speaker 1: feel like shame if you can't conceive.
Speaker 2: And so there was part of that.
Speaker 1: Of like I probably could conceive at forty and a
Speaker 1: half years old, and like so I think in my brain,
Speaker 1: but then I don't. I didn't want to do anything.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to be pregnant and like show everyone.
Speaker 1: But that was that was it, and I got to
Speaker 1: do it in my dream, and that was enough for me.
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's some dying like this like
Speaker 1: secret wish of mine to be a mother. I don't
Speaker 1: think that was what was going on. It was just
Speaker 1: like who knows what it's about dreams?
Speaker 3: Who gets a shit?
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry I told you about a dream.
Speaker 2: I'm so so sorry.
Speaker 1: I am so I like broke my own rule. It
Speaker 1: was supposed to be just an aside.
Speaker 3: I had a dream last night that I was pregnant
Speaker 3: and John Stamos was there, and there was an alien
Speaker 3: telling me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that no, that would never be one of
Speaker 1: my dreams because they don't look like cohesive things that
Speaker 1: are happening. It's just glimmers of something. They would never
Speaker 1: Whenever people count their dreams to me, I go, that
Speaker 1: sounds too narrative to me to be a dream. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean this weekend was I flew to North Dakota
Speaker 1: on Saturday, which is so great because I had Friday
Speaker 1: to get home in Saint Louis and I never am
Speaker 1: home in Saint Louis on Friday, did nothing on Friday
Speaker 1: night under the guise of like, I have to travel
Speaker 1: tomorrow early, even though I could have done something, but
Speaker 1: I didn't felt guilty about that because my family was
Speaker 1: like hanging out at my parents' cabin and I could
Speaker 1: have driven down. But in Eureka, Missouri, it's like probably
Speaker 1: forty minute drive out.
Speaker 3: But it's like parents.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Wow, how many.
Speaker 2: Times have I've been there in fifteen years?
Speaker 3: Twice?
Speaker 1: I mean welcome home, Nikki gle Oh, yeah, so three times.
Speaker 1: I guess I filmed an episode there too.
Speaker 3: They've had a cabin for fifteen years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably longer. It's I'm floted. They've rebuilt it. No,
Speaker 1: it's it is really nice, but I I have like
Speaker 1: an aversion to it because I just feel like I'm
Speaker 1: going to be trapped down there.
Speaker 3: That's the problem.
Speaker 1: I have to like cook things, even though I've never
Speaker 1: been forced to cook. I've never been forced to sit
Speaker 1: around to fire. I don't know what my version is
Speaker 1: to it. I just need I don't know. I got
Speaker 1: to really explore that, and I'm not going to. I've
Speaker 1: been thinking about it for years. I'm not going I
Speaker 1: I do want to get a house on a lake.
Speaker 1: I do want to do that, but this is on
Speaker 1: a river and you have to walk down the steep thing,
Speaker 1: and then my dad's going to be like get the rope,
Speaker 1: and and I just don't want to get that rope,
Speaker 1: and I just don't want to like worry about the
Speaker 1: dogs falling in, and then we just like we just
Speaker 1: cruise on the river. And then my dad points out
Speaker 1: like rookeries and different eagles.
Speaker 2: And hawks, like if you've seen one hawk, you've seen
Speaker 2: them all.
Speaker 1: Even though I do get excited when I see hawks
Speaker 1: because they're beautiful birds, but I just I don't know
Speaker 1: what stresses me out about it.
Speaker 2: I haven't been down there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean my aversion to nature and kites and
Speaker 1: doing things that are like just sitting and breathing and
Speaker 1: like listening to the to nature as hard. That's why
Speaker 1: I've started running again. I'm starting to run again because
Speaker 1: it's the only time that I can do an activity.
Speaker 1: It's running in my pilates class are the only times.
Speaker 1: And this but not this, because I'm talking that I
Speaker 1: am quiet and with my thoughts. And yes, I'm listening
Speaker 1: to music on a run, but I don't really like
Speaker 1: think about the music. So I'm alone with my thoughts
Speaker 1: during pilates and during and running, and those are the
Speaker 1: only times. But PLATES was and giving it to me
Speaker 1: enough because I'm too focused on how hard it is.
Speaker 1: It has to be so like a medium level of
Speaker 1: hard and then your mind can wonder. And I really
Speaker 1: got some things figured out running this weekend. I really
Speaker 1: like I was had to stop and jot notes down.
Speaker 1: I just like the ideas, big ideas for stuff like
Speaker 1: I have this interview coming up where I'm interviewing a
Speaker 1: celebrity who's very very very very famous. Well, I can't
Speaker 1: tell you not playing that game, is it?
Speaker 3: Well, who's the most famous? Is it Barack Obama?
Speaker 1: It's I mean, I would say this person's name is
Speaker 1: just as recognizable as Barack Obama's maybe why I know,
Speaker 1: no one knows, right, Noah, you know right, have to
Speaker 1: show stop guessing.
Speaker 2: Stop guessing.
Speaker 1: But I'm doing an interview of a person who requested
Speaker 1: me to interview them, and so I've been studying this
Speaker 1: person's requested you. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Wow, so this famous this person said I want nick later.
Speaker 1: One of the coolest things that's ever happened to me.
Speaker 3: That's amazing.
Speaker 1: No question and.
Speaker 2: Interview with Oh my.
Speaker 3: God, I can't believe Leonardo DiCaprio.
Speaker 2: Asked you, it's up there, it's there. Wow, I'm not
Speaker 2: joking you.
Speaker 1: He I have to lose I think, twenty years to
Speaker 1: talk to him. But yeah, I don't know how you
Speaker 1: do that, but somehow. But anyway, this I had some
Speaker 1: like I needed to think. I've been like putting off.
Speaker 1: Do you ever have something that's so big and like
Speaker 1: you're nervous about that you just don't work on it?
Speaker 3: Oh god, yes, well that happens with trips for me.
Speaker 3: What do you mean, like if I have a big
Speaker 3: trip coming up, and I'm like nervous about it because
Speaker 3: I don't want to go on it or whatever. I
Speaker 3: just imagine it's not happening until the day I'm on
Speaker 3: the plane.
Speaker 1: Okay, but how do you pack?
Speaker 3: Well, I guess the night before. All right, you got me, Nikki,
Speaker 3: the night before. I uh, I'll pe you.
Speaker 1: That's what I do with trips too. People always like,
Speaker 1: where are you going to be next weekend? I go,
Speaker 1: I don't know. This weekend is what I'm thinking about tomorrow.
Speaker 1: I don't look any I don't want to look ahead.
Speaker 1: But this thing is something that I have to like
Speaker 1: prepare for. So I went on a run, not wanting
Speaker 1: to think about it. But then i'd started. I was
Speaker 1: listening to this person, like I'm studying this person. So
Speaker 1: I was listening to something that they've made while I
Speaker 1: was running, and I got I was very inspired, and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I think you know you always
Speaker 1: try to I'm not a great interviewer. I've done it
Speaker 1: a ton, but it's not something that i've like, I
Speaker 1: really hone and work at and that's not going to
Speaker 1: be expected of me for this because they're not picking
Speaker 1: me this person didn't pick me because of they've seen
Speaker 1: all of my interviews or whatever, and they're like, they
Speaker 1: just pick me because I'm a person that they I
Speaker 1: don't know why they picked me, but it's not I
Speaker 1: don't have to be a good interviewer, but I do
Speaker 1: want to ask questions that are like interesting.
Speaker 2: And but it's like.
Speaker 1: Has been asked everything. This person's been asked every thing possible.
Speaker 1: My friends are like, you have to ask them about this,
Speaker 1: and it's like some gossipy thing and I'm like, Annia goes,
Speaker 1: You've got to ask about blah blah blah, and just
Speaker 1: imagine it's like, wait, let's says I was interviewing Taylor Swift,
Speaker 1: which is not Taylor Swift, but it would literally be
Speaker 1: Anya being like, well, you gotta ask her what happened
Speaker 1: with Joe? And I go, do you understand that I
Speaker 1: would never ask her what happened with Joe even if
Speaker 1: we were best friends sitting around a fire late at
Speaker 1: night and we've had some cup glasses of wine even
Speaker 1: though I don't drink. But she got me too because
Speaker 1: she's Taylor Swift and she'd give me to do anything.
Speaker 1: I would never, no matter nor how close. I got
Speaker 1: to this person the question, Anya was like, you gotta
Speaker 1: I was like, are you kidding me? Are we having
Speaker 1: this conversation?
Speaker 2: There's no way I'm asking that question.
Speaker 1: But it's you're so good at interviews.
Speaker 4: I just want to let you know that, as a
Speaker 4: person who has listened to you interview many, many people,
Speaker 4: your best quality is that you don't you're.
Speaker 1: Not doing an interview.
Speaker 4: You're just having a conversation with people, and you are
Speaker 4: so good at disarming them and just kind of like
Speaker 4: getting the stuff that is very conversational, which is what
Speaker 4: everybody wants to hear.
Speaker 1: I feel very inspired by this person, and that's a
Speaker 1: really good place to come from, where you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm this always happens to me when I prepare for something.
Speaker 1: I become an intense fan when I was maybe a
Speaker 1: casual fan before, because you just you I read this
Speaker 1: person's book this weekend.
Speaker 2: I just got done reading their.
Speaker 1: Wikipedia, which is you You might roll your eyes at that,
Speaker 1: but that try to read some a very famous person's
Speaker 1: entire Wikipedia. It's a hundred pages. It's so long, and
Speaker 1: there's so many details, and there's so many like dates
Speaker 1: and producers and things that You're just like, I don't
Speaker 1: need this. You know, well, yes, this person has worked
Speaker 1: with producers. But I'm just saying, like Wikipedia is dense
Speaker 1: with like information you don't mean, but oh my god,
Speaker 1: do you think Denzel Washington would be this person?
Speaker 2: Is it's relevant that.
Speaker 1: They pick to me, I will say that it has precedence,
Speaker 1: but it's one of the most notable names on the planet,
Speaker 1: is not christ Toffy, But yeah, so it's it's very exciting.
Speaker 1: But anyway, I got some answers for that when I
Speaker 1: was running, and I hate to be one of those
Speaker 1: people that's like, I don't know, running just like opens
Speaker 1: up my creativity and because running does suck, but I'm
Speaker 1: starting to think that it doesn't and I actually need it,
Speaker 1: and I want to start meditating again. I think that's
Speaker 1: really what I'm in search for, because when I used
Speaker 1: to meditate, I would get answers to things, I would
Speaker 1: get ideas. I would get just big ideas of like
Speaker 1: I should do a reality show.
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, I'm like, what would
Speaker 2: that look like?
Speaker 1: And then I just send off an email right in
Speaker 1: the middle of it, and I'm like, I want to
Speaker 1: do a reality show. And then suddenly it's like happening,
Speaker 1: Like you just get these big ideas that sometimes maybe
Speaker 1: you don't want to, Like sometimes you have a big
Speaker 1: idea and then you start it. Everyone can relate to
Speaker 1: starting a project and then being in the middle of
Speaker 1: it and being like, I don't want to really do
Speaker 1: my own backsplash, I should have hired someone for this,
Speaker 1: and like you're in the middle of like bluing all
Speaker 1: these tiles together and you're like, what is this? And
Speaker 1: then but you still have to finish it because you
Speaker 1: can't just have no backsplash, I mean, can't you you can.
Speaker 3: It's not like I think you could survive without a backslash,
Speaker 3: normal lifespan without a light, without a back man.
Speaker 1: When I learned the word backsplash, I really got liberal
Speaker 1: with it because it made me feel cool that I
Speaker 1: knew something about home design scance backsplash. There, I asked Chris,
Speaker 1: what the what the edge around doors are? What's that
Speaker 1: called molding? Molding? Why why can't we call it the edging?
Speaker 1: Like why why is it to be more? Why is
Speaker 1: a sconce Why can't be a light fixture that's on
Speaker 1: the wall, Like why does it have to have a
Speaker 1: name that's confusing and alienating. Oh can I ask a
Speaker 1: football question that no one's been able to answer for me?
Speaker 3: I'll answer it.
Speaker 2: Okay, So sorry.
Speaker 1: If we talked about this on the podcast before, please
Speaker 1: just interrupt me. If we have in football to get
Speaker 1: a first down mm hmm, to get a down? Okay,
Speaker 1: you get four chances, that's right? What are those chances
Speaker 1: called downs? Why is the goal also the name of
Speaker 1: the steps it takes to get the goal? That doesn't
Speaker 1: make sense to me. So in any other in any
Speaker 1: other thing, is the goal the name of the goal
Speaker 1: also the steps? It's like, did I I don't even
Speaker 1: know how to do?
Speaker 2: The rungs of a ladder are not called ladders?
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Do you want? Your goal is to get a first down?
Speaker 1: Right? So it's for okay, so your goal is to
Speaker 1: get a first down. But then people go it's first down?
Speaker 1: So did they get it? Or is it the first
Speaker 1: chance to get a first down? Why are they both
Speaker 1: the same?
Speaker 3: I think you have to consider it like there's many
Speaker 3: first downs on a field that every ten yards is
Speaker 3: a first down?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, but this isn't the issue to get a
Speaker 1: first down, you have four chances to do it, and
Speaker 1: those are called downs. Why is the thing you're trying
Speaker 1: to get also called the steps to get it is
Speaker 1: also the thing? No, what is this making any sense
Speaker 1: to you?
Speaker 4: What's what's clicking in my head? While Brian thinks of
Speaker 4: the answer is that you are basically answering the question
Speaker 4: that you had before this, which is why do we
Speaker 4: call it a scance because there are many light fixtures,
Speaker 4: but a sconce is very specific, so that's why we
Speaker 4: have sconce.
Speaker 1: But why what they name the thing like that I
Speaker 1: don't know?
Speaker 2: Is to get a first down?
Speaker 1: And then you can literally say it's first down and
Speaker 1: we're trying to get to first down. Well, then didn't
Speaker 1: we get it if it's first down? A lot of football,
Speaker 1: it's very confusing when you hear we're trying to get
Speaker 1: a first down and it's first down.
Speaker 2: To get that first down, that is what.
Speaker 3: I can see. Yeah, I can not.
Speaker 1: Be so confusing. Why is everyone not confused by this?
Speaker 3: You get confused? Do you get confused by the concept
Speaker 3: of laps? Like you have to run laps? You have
Speaker 3: to and every time you go around it's another lap.
Speaker 3: So it's circular in.
Speaker 1: A way, I know, but four laps equal a mile,
Speaker 1: it doesn't equal a lap. It's not first lap, second lap,
Speaker 1: third lap, fourth lap, and then you get first lap.
Speaker 1: It's a one mile after four laps. Do you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying?
Speaker 2: Is this?
Speaker 3: I do?
Speaker 1: Because anytime I talk I talked to Chris about this.
Speaker 1: I think I took to Sean O'Connor about this. They
Speaker 1: don't even seem as frustrated as I am with this.
Speaker 1: This has never this has never occurred to anyone. How
Speaker 1: has this not occurred to anyone else? But the name
Speaker 1: of the steps to get the thing is the thing?
Speaker 3: The name of this. Yeah, it's difficult for me to
Speaker 3: get frustrated because it's hard to even understand what you're saying.
Speaker 1: But when you first how is it hard?
Speaker 3: Well, it's hard for me to understand, uh, the frustration
Speaker 3: behind it. So I need to come up with an analogy.
Speaker 3: That's my goal. It's to come up with an analogy
Speaker 3: outside of football where the same thing happens that we've accepted.
Speaker 1: But okay, when I tell you, hey, so we're trying
Speaker 1: to get a first down here and it's first down,
Speaker 1: that makes sense to you right, that's that is a sentence.
Speaker 1: I mean, no one would say that, but because everyone
Speaker 1: knows first down.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to I'm trying to earn a thousand dollars,
Speaker 3: but I already have one thousand dollars. You can get
Speaker 3: another thousand dollars. You can get it. You can get many.
Speaker 1: First No, no, you, I understand you can get many first downs.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. The chances that you have to get
Speaker 1: a first down are called downs.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: So it's second down to get a first down, it's
Speaker 1: third down to get a first down. It's so why
Speaker 1: are the chances to get it called the thing? I
Speaker 1: hope anyone listening understands what the fuck I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: because to someone who's learned, it's almost like when you
Speaker 1: learn a language late in life. There are things about
Speaker 1: the English language that are totally confusing, like though and
Speaker 1: rough being the same, like though o g u oug
Speaker 1: h can be uugh off or oh, and it's like
Speaker 1: why And I think that's kind of a similar thing
Speaker 1: I'm going by, which is like I would never have
Speaker 1: noticed the though and rough being different unless I was
Speaker 1: learning the language, and I'm learning the language of football
Speaker 1: and I am confounded by it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I can. I see you're what you're saying.
Speaker 2: And why is a safety a position?
Speaker 1: But it's also a call?
Speaker 3: Why do we park on a driveway and drive on
Speaker 3: a parkway?
Speaker 1: No, I really need an answer here? Is there is there?
Speaker 1: Is there a correlation between the safety position and the
Speaker 1: safety play? Are those two related at all? Or do
Speaker 1: they just happen to have the same name.
Speaker 3: They happen to have the same name. I mean what,
Speaker 3: I guess you could they ran out? Well, this was
Speaker 3: you have to remember, Nikki, that football was invented in
Speaker 3: the nineteen twenties or whatever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have less words.
Speaker 3: There were less words back then, and you know what,
Speaker 3: the dictionary was only three pages and if didn't even
Speaker 3: go to Z.
Speaker 1: But it's a confusing game already. Why double up on
Speaker 1: words of meanings?
Speaker 3: No? I get it. Yeah, safety safety is a position
Speaker 3: because they are the last person that can stop you
Speaker 3: from getting a touchdowns line of defense and then getting
Speaker 3: a safety is the worst possible thing that could happen
Speaker 3: to the embarrassing. It's embarrassing. So it's like kind of
Speaker 3: when a safety happens, it is embarrassing, Like, yeah, because
Speaker 3: I get that everything you're backed up, you're backed up
Speaker 3: against your own end zone. You know they're going to
Speaker 3: try to sack you in your own end zone, which.
Speaker 1: Is already embarrassing your own home.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but usually even when you're just watching it happen,
Speaker 3: what the quarterback does to avoid the safety is generally
Speaker 3: goofy and dumb looking like sometimes they'll go back and
Speaker 3: they'll step out of their own end zone backwards. Sometimes
Speaker 3: they'll be like flailing around and stumble, and they'll try
Speaker 3: to like throw the ball haplessly across the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 3: but it'll look stupid, and then they get you. They
Speaker 3: get a penalty, and then it's a safety anyway. Or
Speaker 3: they'll just like try to run forward and get smashed,
Speaker 3: and they're a quarterback and they're not a rushing quarterback,
Speaker 3: so they look like a dufist. It really is one
Speaker 3: of the most embarrassing plays to fall victim too is
Speaker 3: a safety.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm slowly figuring it out, but I learned nothing
Speaker 1: from this conversation except I'm a little bit more conf'm now.
Speaker 1: I'm just getting frustrated that other people don't understand what
Speaker 1: I'm going through. And if you do Bestie's someone write
Speaker 1: to me if you're confused by the down thing too,
Speaker 1: or if you have an answer for it. I'm sure
Speaker 1: there's some person that will be like, well, the down
Speaker 1: was named after something. I just want to know why
Speaker 1: we have to use the same word for two different
Speaker 1: things within the same concept. And then we're gonna go
Speaker 1: to break. I'm gonna tell you a new word I
Speaker 1: learned this weekend that I am proud I learned because
Speaker 1: I'm trying to learn new vocabulary and I got rid
Speaker 1: of that old app and I got a new app.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about it, all right, all right, I'm back, Okay.
Speaker 1: So we talked about that app I downloaded last week, Elevate,
Speaker 1: and it just wasn't doing it for me because it
Speaker 1: was repeating games and.
Speaker 2: I learned a little bit, but not enough.
Speaker 1: And so I went on a quest to find like
Speaker 1: a really good new vocab app, and I recommend atlass English.
Speaker 1: So it'll it'll give you groups of five words, and
Speaker 1: I will say you probably know it'll test your your
Speaker 1: level of vocab at first, and you're gonna be like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this is so stupid. But then it
Speaker 1: gets hard and you're like oh my god, wait, I'm
Speaker 1: so stupid. And then it places you, and then it
Speaker 1: gives you groups of words that you probably know probably
Speaker 1: three out of the five, and then you do all
Speaker 1: these games where you like fill in the blanks and
Speaker 1: you you like go over the definition in many different ways,
Speaker 1: and then you still might not remember the word, because
Speaker 1: like for me, I'm just trying to memorize new words,
Speaker 1: work them into my vocabulary. And this one the other
Speaker 1: day I could not get even though I played like
Speaker 1: six games with it where it was mixed in with
Speaker 1: other words, and I was trying to fill in the blank. Inculpate.
Speaker 1: Did I get it right? Hold on? It sends me
Speaker 1: it every day, so yes, inculpate I nculpat to accuse
Speaker 1: or blame. It was not landing. It is now you know,
Speaker 1: so now in my head.
Speaker 4: Sometimes in words you have other words and it's like
Speaker 4: culprit cold. Yeah, so the words culprit in there, that's.
Speaker 2: Good inculpate to blame someone. But it was not sticking.
Speaker 1: And I was like, damn it, no matter how many
Speaker 1: games I play in the stupid app, it's not gonna stick.
Speaker 1: And I kept trying to like remember it to Chris,
Speaker 1: and I would just go get a drink of water,
Speaker 1: and then I would return and be like, can I
Speaker 1: remember it? No, it's gone. So then I realized, though
Speaker 1: this is right after I downloaded the app and played
Speaker 1: the game. I was like, damn it, it's not working.
Speaker 1: But then I kind of bookmarked it in the app
Speaker 1: to be like I need this. I don't know even
Speaker 1: how I did it. It just said like save words.
Speaker 1: And so now it just shows me throughout the day.
Speaker 1: It'll just pull up inculpate. It'll just send me a
Speaker 1: little like text like boop at the top of my thing.
Speaker 1: Inculpate to accuse or blame, and I swear it's incepted
Speaker 1: me now, And now I've learned that word. I also
Speaker 1: learned mendacious or mendacity, which is a lot like to
Speaker 1: something that lies a lot, if they're mendacious.
Speaker 2: And then I also learned.
Speaker 3: I didn't know that mendacious is an sat word. I
Speaker 3: thought I knew what it meant, and I guess I don't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I think it's to someone lies a lot, Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you're mendacious. And then the other word, oh my god,
Speaker 1: please let me. It's to castigate. Castigate is to like
Speaker 1: not accuse or blame. Castigate is to like punish. I think, Man,
Speaker 1: did I get it right? Castigate someone? Look it up.
Speaker 1: That's the other word I learned. So I learned. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm going to castigate you. So I'm gonna I learned
Speaker 1: three new words this weekend that are locked in, like
Speaker 1: they're for the rest of my life almost, And you
Speaker 1: can do that too, if that's of interest to anyone.
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone cares about this shit, but
Speaker 1: stuff like that, I love. Stuff matters to me.
Speaker 3: So wait, all you did to get those locked in
Speaker 3: was focused on just those.
Speaker 1: Three Yeah, well, I bookmarked them. I played all the
Speaker 1: games that they had. They're kind of boring games. They're like,
Speaker 1: you know, you have to put them in a blank
Speaker 1: and like you get five words, and so those five
Speaker 1: words become game. You do gameplay with those five words.
Speaker 1: It gives you the definition. You review them, and then
Speaker 1: it gives you sentences and it is a blank and
Speaker 1: then you have to put the five words and put
Speaker 1: them in.
Speaker 2: Then it's like it does. It does a bunch of.
Speaker 1: Different games and you and you think those games help,
Speaker 1: but this sometimes you need extra And then getting those
Speaker 1: alerts all day I'm like, it has been my goal inculpate.
Speaker 1: I don't like the word it mouth to say it.
Speaker 1: It doesn't sound good. It sounds like sound too smart.
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'll use it, but at least
Speaker 1: it's there for me if I want to inculpate. It
Speaker 1: sounds like a.
Speaker 3: Word for trying to use it.
Speaker 1: Thank you?
Speaker 4: Oh does it sound like it sounds like a word
Speaker 4: you could use, like if you're ever doing some kind
Speaker 4: of written interview or just just kind of more for.
Speaker 3: A doesn't sound like a word that you could slip
Speaker 3: into the conversation and considered.
Speaker 2: People are going to go, what, Yeah, excuse me.
Speaker 3: Oh, I guess you're miss smarty pants.
Speaker 1: It's honestly, if I ever meet Sam Harris, I'll try
Speaker 1: to talk about it.
Speaker 2: That's literally that.
Speaker 3: That's casting at you. But I feel inculpated in this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, these are words he would use. For sure.
Speaker 3: I have a word that you can use in any
Speaker 3: situation that makes you sound cool and smart. Yeah, it
Speaker 3: is mercurial.
Speaker 1: Dude, that is so weird you said it. I read
Speaker 1: it in a book to like last week. I've read
Speaker 1: this book The Color of Everything. He said it in
Speaker 1: that I looked it up because I've heard it. I've
Speaker 1: used it twice in one week, yeah, and not called
Speaker 1: it out and just slipped it in because it's a
Speaker 1: great word. Great.
Speaker 3: It makes sense logically because someone.
Speaker 1: Who's moody goes up and down, like you can't predict
Speaker 1: their mood.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a word.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: It encapsulates a concept that people can easily understand that
Speaker 3: we don't have a word for. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And also it's like kind of cool because it's based
Speaker 3: on mercury, the planet and the god, which then people
Speaker 3: can like logically understand even if they don't know the
Speaker 3: definition of the word, they can infer Oh, mercury. That
Speaker 3: sounds like fire at least.
Speaker 1: So it was so crazy, Yeah, we're yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: good way to remember it.
Speaker 3: It could be that as well.
Speaker 1: Crazy that you said that, Brian, because I literally used
Speaker 1: that word on girls Chat. Noah, you could probably find
Speaker 1: the girl like I used it on girls Chat, and
Speaker 1: I felt like, did I just use that correctly? I
Speaker 1: think I did. I can't believe I did it. It
Speaker 1: is very exciting to learn a new word. I will
Speaker 1: say that I was watching I was binging Sarah Silverman
Speaker 1: when I was in North Dakota because I couldn't sleep
Speaker 1: and I just went down a wormhole on her, and
Speaker 1: my god, is she's so funny and she's I've like,
Speaker 1: you know, just haven't paid attention. I guess in the
Speaker 1: past ten years as much as I used to, Like
Speaker 1: I used to be Taylor Swift levels of obsessed with
Speaker 1: Sarah Silverman. Yeah, like I had posters, I had, you know,
Speaker 1: I would buy books that she said in interviews. She
Speaker 1: liked like I was obsessed with her in college to
Speaker 1: a pretty insane degree and concerning degree. And then I
Speaker 1: kind of just like, like, I don't I stop paying attention.
Speaker 1: Maybe I was just like I don't want to be
Speaker 1: influenced anymore because I was sounding so much like her
Speaker 1: early on in my career. Whatever it was I put.
Speaker 1: I went on YouTube wormhol the other day and I
Speaker 1: was up till like three in the morning just watching
Speaker 1: clips of hers. She is so fucking funny, dude, I was.
Speaker 1: She did this one joke where she was talking about
Speaker 1: her dog like licking up like uh like licking her
Speaker 1: after her and her boyfriend had sex, like post coitus,
Speaker 1: and she said he was licking the dety Deti Deutch dirt. Wow,
Speaker 1: what is it called. It's like detrius or something. It's
Speaker 1: a word for like the leftover gunk, like the I
Speaker 1: forget the word for it, but she uses this crazy
Speaker 1: big word. And she was like, I use that because
Speaker 1: I'm talking about com and I wanted to just make
Speaker 1: it sound more palatable, like the detrius or something. She
Speaker 1: was like, he was fricking detritus. She used that word,
Speaker 1: and I like that. Yeah, So she used that to
Speaker 1: uplift the whole joke that was really just like her
Speaker 1: dog licking up come. And then she had a point
Speaker 1: that I have also made before, which is like the
Speaker 1: dog wants to have that, like you would say that's animal,
Speaker 1: because she stopped the dog. She's like, no, no, no, But
Speaker 1: she made the point of like the dog actually does
Speaker 1: want that very badly and would not be disgusted by it,
Speaker 1: and it would be treat for the dog.
Speaker 2: But you can't let the.
Speaker 1: Dog do that.
Speaker 3: My dog's been licking up piss all over town and
Speaker 3: I have to keep stopping.
Speaker 1: Him from because it is like human piss.
Speaker 3: Yeah, human, no, dog probably dog pissed. I mean, I can't.
Speaker 1: Assume that a new trait that they've picked up their
Speaker 1: dogs picked up, she's picked up he.
Speaker 3: He Jack yeah, Jack looking up piss all the time.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's new, but I'm kind of
Speaker 3: noticing it more and over the last year or so,
Speaker 3: I've been like trying to train him to not do
Speaker 3: it anymore.
Speaker 1: Right, well, because that's then you you want him to
Speaker 1: lick your face too. We're not going to give that up.
Speaker 3: No, I mean I don't actually I don't let him look.
Speaker 1: My face, but really skin is so good.
Speaker 3: He'll lick my hand, that's cute, yeah or something, but
Speaker 3: like no, yeah, I think it's just more like I'm
Speaker 3: worried about like parasites. I'm just like, I don't want
Speaker 3: him to get a disease from Yeah, I piss.
Speaker 1: I remember hearing if your dog sniffs poop that has
Speaker 1: worms in it, they can sniff up the worms in
Speaker 1: their nose. And so whenever my dog's sniffing poop, I'm like, kid,
Speaker 1: what like, yeah, way too, because I just picture worms
Speaker 1: being like like snorting worms so horrible and I can't
Speaker 1: handle it.
Speaker 3: Oh I can't handle it. Oh God, no, okay, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: I do have something. Speaking of Sarah Silverman, did you
Speaker 3: see Adam Sandler's Netflix special that came out.
Speaker 1: I saw the first thirty five minutes of it because
Speaker 1: we got tired. It was way too late at night
Speaker 1: for us to start it. But I was enjoying myself.
Speaker 1: It's a wild ride. I like don't understand even what
Speaker 1: I'm watching sometimes, even though I will say, all the
Speaker 1: songs and all the jokes are so fucking funny and
Speaker 1: like it was almost getting frustrating because I I'm so
Speaker 1: jealous of how his mind works in terms of like creates,
Speaker 1: Like it's just a different mind than mine comedically, and
Speaker 1: I really wish I was of structure, free of any
Speaker 1: like logic.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for a reason.
Speaker 1: And then the voices are so funny and you just
Speaker 1: get lost in the storytelling is crazy and and you
Speaker 1: don't know whether he's telling the truth sometimes, and then
Speaker 1: the story will take a turn that is just so insane,
Speaker 1: but it still works, and it's like such a risks
Speaker 1: to take that and then it pays off. It's just
Speaker 1: it really is incredible. I can't wait to finish it.
Speaker 1: To me your thoughts.
Speaker 3: And it works because it also works because it's Adam Sandler,
Speaker 3: or and he when he starts a story you have this,
Speaker 3: you know who he is. You already like him, you
Speaker 3: have this whole backstory. You imagine he's telling the truth,
Speaker 3: and then he can undercut you. Whereas I think if
Speaker 3: a new comedian came out and started telling like fantastical
Speaker 3: stories of a similar manner, it probably wouldn't work as well.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I disagree. I think this is this
Speaker 1: is why Adam Sandler ever worked.
Speaker 3: Actually, now that you say that, I have an example
Speaker 3: already to pop them in. I had that it did work.
Speaker 3: Who this comedian from Boston named Brian Higginbottom who sadly
Speaker 3: tragically died, but he had this he had he was
Speaker 3: blowing up on TikTok. He's this comedian from Boston who
Speaker 3: everyone liked, and around twenty twenty two or three or something,
Speaker 3: he just started blowing up on TikTok purely by posting
Speaker 3: clips from the one ten minute set that he had recorded.
Speaker 3: It was like the only material he had recorded that
Speaker 3: he like put on the internet, and just those ten
Speaker 3: clips like started he started blowing up. He started getting
Speaker 3: hundreds of thousands of followers, okay, and and like I
Speaker 3: felt like, you know, wow, this guy's I was very
Speaker 3: focused on that because it's like it's another Brian and
Speaker 3: this is my He's like funnier than me, And was
Speaker 3: that part of it.
Speaker 1: I can see myself being like there's another Nikki and
Speaker 1: being like, what's going on here? There's only room for
Speaker 1: one of us on this nome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well there's already Brian Reagan, so I'm fucked. But yeah,
Speaker 3: this guy was funnier than me, and he was blowing
Speaker 3: up on TikTok and I was like, this guy's of
Speaker 3: a scent in a similar way to let that, like
Speaker 3: Scott Seiss ascended after his Instagram videos?
Speaker 2: Is he the guy that goes the he works in retail?
Speaker 3: Yeah exactly. I thought like the same thing was gonna
Speaker 3: happen to Brian Higginbottom, and unfortunately I think he you know,
Speaker 3: I don't know how he died, but I think it
Speaker 3: was what you would imagine. So he was just about
Speaker 3: to blow up. But I'm sorry he had a This
Speaker 3: part of his bit was talking about his son that
Speaker 3: he didn't have, and he kept just like exaggerating these
Speaker 3: aspects of his son, saying like he's like ten foot tall,
Speaker 3: he's got one eye and one tooth, and he's teaching
Speaker 3: him how to shoot a bow and arrow, and he
Speaker 3: tries to incite the audience to take this kid down
Speaker 3: because he's a menace to society. And like, that's the
Speaker 3: type of exaggeration that Adam Sandler might do, and it
Speaker 3: worked for Brian Higginbottom, an unknown comedian. So I rescind
Speaker 3: my previous statement as the point.
Speaker 1: Okay, I do think that Adam could get. This is
Speaker 1: what built Adam Sandler is, like the voices and like
Speaker 1: the just silly, the silliness, yeah, and just being free
Speaker 1: to be silly and just and seeming just like a
Speaker 1: good dude throughout it all, even though he has a
Speaker 1: joke where his dad's penis pokes him in the eye.
Speaker 1: If there's some crazy stuff in this, he goes down
Speaker 1: on a balloon. It's just so, it's so you guys,
Speaker 1: it's so weird. But what were you going to say,
Speaker 1: did you?
Speaker 2: The song is really good?
Speaker 3: Well, the song at the end, yeah, it's really it's
Speaker 3: a heartfelt song at the end, and and as as
Speaker 3: a person of in comedy, it's doubly uh sad and touching.
Speaker 3: But what stuck out to me for the special was
Speaker 3: the direction, the directing.
Speaker 2: And the oh yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and just the way that he approached the special
Speaker 3: to make it like, you know, he's an arena comedian.
Speaker 3: He's selling on arenas and he chose to shoot like
Speaker 3: a a staged special and a shithole where about the
Speaker 3: things went wrong?
Speaker 1: A lot of things went wrong. Yeah, but don't you
Speaker 1: think that they went wrong on purpose?
Speaker 3: Yes? No, it's all staged.
Speaker 1: Okay, good anyone who's thinking that the screens like I
Speaker 1: read a review of it and they're like, we don't
Speaker 1: know if the screens really didn't work, or if that
Speaker 1: was stage, or if there really was a fight in
Speaker 1: the audience or if that was stage and it's like
Speaker 1: every single or if he didn't I got confused. There
Speaker 1: was one part where he has a coffee and he's like,
Speaker 1: is there is this Stevia And they're like yeah, and
Speaker 1: he's like yeah, and then he's like no, that's splendor
Speaker 1: and I go, oh, that's real, and Chris is like no,
Speaker 1: it's not. No, this is all set up, and it's
Speaker 1: very I said.
Speaker 3: His windshield's broken at the beginning, and the guy.
Speaker 1: Like pay, but there's I'm waiting for any of this
Speaker 1: to pay off, Like the screen's not working, paying off.
Speaker 2: I'm thinking it's just like.
Speaker 1: Embedded in it to create I don't I don't know
Speaker 1: the purpose of it yet.
Speaker 3: I mean ironic because he's Adam Sandler, He's one of
Speaker 3: the biggest stars in the world, and he's okay ship
Speaker 3: all where they can't get the screens to work. But
Speaker 3: then also it's it's comedic trolling for anybody who thinks
Speaker 3: that it's real. And also it's just it's just comedy
Speaker 3: in general. It's just like, isn't it funny? The whole thing. Also,
Speaker 3: just from the start to the finish, I appreciated because
Speaker 3: it felt like not a stand up special. It felt
Speaker 3: like I was watching a movie of somebody trying to
Speaker 3: yes exactly.
Speaker 1: Which I was totally. I thought that was good too,
Speaker 1: and I liked all the things, like it kind of
Speaker 1: showed what his life is like in terms of the
Speaker 1: demand of someone like being like, can you FaceTime with
Speaker 1: my somebody he's he's been a scooter accident. Okay, can
Speaker 1: you sign all these jerseseys it's for an MS charity?
Speaker 1: Can you do like all the asks he's getting before
Speaker 1: he goes on stage. But I'm guessing come from such
Speaker 1: a real place. But I just I just love his
Speaker 1: songs and his his and.
Speaker 3: The comedy is good too on.
Speaker 1: Top of it, but all of it's so good. He's
Speaker 1: so cute, he's so great, he's so likable.
Speaker 3: Fun fact and yeah, this is maybe a Nicky Glazer
Speaker 3: podcast exclusive fact as he dropped the microphone embarrassing that
Speaker 3: I was basically just got a safety of podcast. So
Speaker 3: Adam Sandler filmed that special at the Nocturn Theater in Glendale, California. Okay,
Speaker 3: really close to La. Yeah, and there's only been one
Speaker 3: other comedy special filmed at the Nocturn Theater in Glendale
Speaker 3: at the time. Another one, there's a yeah, there's another one,
Speaker 3: and that was Adam Conover's stand up special, which is
Speaker 3: coming out on Dropout TV this month.
Speaker 2: What is dropout TV?
Speaker 3: Dropout TV is what College Humor has become. It's a
Speaker 3: subscription service online that has bespoke content for pretty much nerds.
Speaker 3: But it's extremely popular and successful and has found an
Speaker 3: incredible niche. It's really quite remarkable how the College Humor
Speaker 3: guy for got his name, Ricky, Yeah, Ricky Valez a committee,
Speaker 3: he's a comedian, No, but he was Mayor Van Veen
Speaker 3: Sam Reich.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, anyway, it's amazing how after College Humor ended
Speaker 3: he still managed to create a brand new thing that
Speaker 3: is now almost just as successful as College Humor and
Speaker 3: drop Out TV.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, but the point is.
Speaker 3: The point is two specials filmed with the Nocturne Theater,
Speaker 3: both by comedians named Adam.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, we're on this first name thing again. Yeah,
Speaker 1: are there any other nicky comedians?
Speaker 3: Well, your biggest competition, in my mind, Your biggest competition
Speaker 3: in my mind is Nicky Hayley. Yeah, who spells her
Speaker 3: name the same way and is going totally different directions.
Speaker 2: So interesting to try to be a president.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when your name is NICKI I know, I always
Speaker 1: knew that was never in the cards for me, not
Speaker 1: just because I'm a woman, but also because or I
Speaker 1: felt it wasn't in the cards because I was a woman,
Speaker 1: but also Nicky is just not a serious person. No
Speaker 1: offense to me, Yeah, but it's just like it's just
Speaker 1: not my mom. That my parents gave me the name
Speaker 1: Nicole on my birth certificate in case I wanted to
Speaker 1: be a serious person. That that's what they said, in case,
Speaker 1: you know, when you wanted to be a professional and
Speaker 1: I never needed it, but it is there and I've
Speaker 1: never been called it in my life, but people are
Speaker 1: always surprised that that is my my name.
Speaker 3: But with Bernie, like Bernie Sanders, like that's not a serious.
Speaker 1: I never even thought about that. So I can't stop
Speaker 1: buying Taylor swift merch. It's honestly become a problem. I
Speaker 1: don't I every single day I make a new purchase.
Speaker 1: It's there's too much of it. It's actually I brought
Speaker 1: I bought four three new sweatshirts and a T shirt
Speaker 1: this morning. I got a package last night that Chris
Speaker 1: was cracking up because it's just a bunch of random
Speaker 1: crap that I kind of some of it I already own.
Speaker 1: It's I don't I don't know what's happening why I
Speaker 1: need all this stuff, And I don't even like wear
Speaker 1: it all that often. And when I do, I because
Speaker 1: I do want to connect with other Swifties, and that's
Speaker 1: why I wear it, I think, but I don't really
Speaker 1: get to connect with those. No one ever talks to
Speaker 1: me about it, So I kind of feel just like dumb.
Speaker 1: I feel like a real safety in it sometimes because
Speaker 1: I just feel like, uh, I want to connect, people
Speaker 1: aren't connecting with it. I am also feeling like shopping
Speaker 1: is like bringing me is I'm using it as a
Speaker 1: crutch sometimes. Online shopping, getting packages, getting new things so awarting.
Speaker 2: You just get that little dope, Oh my.
Speaker 3: God, you're addicted to And it's so easy.
Speaker 2: When it's apples.
Speaker 1: Every day I buy a new thing because there's a
Speaker 1: new sale going on yesterday. Emily, my social media girl
Speaker 1: who I talked about last week, she was like, a girl,
Speaker 1: there is a sale on Abercrombie twenty percent off all
Speaker 1: NFL merch You need to get cheap stuff. This stuff
Speaker 1: is so cute. She sent me like four screenshots that
Speaker 1: was like, just send me the links. I need this stuff.
Speaker 1: I bought a Chief's jacket. I bought a Chief sweat,
Speaker 1: two Chief sweatshirts, a Chief's T shirt, all mends. Don't
Speaker 1: really know if I got the right sizing, but that
Speaker 1: counts as Taylor Swiths merchandise too, by the way, Like
Speaker 1: this is not this is this is what it is.
Speaker 1: That's like all I buy now. I really don't know.
Speaker 1: There's really no guide on how to fucking dress as
Speaker 1: a professional like woman in this world try to send
Speaker 1: me and I've asked for this before. There's no one
Speaker 1: telling you how to shop anymore. And some besties sent
Speaker 1: me like Page Disorbo's Amazon account, which was helpful, except
Speaker 1: everything sold out and she hasn't updated it in forever.
Speaker 1: And I will wear anything Page disorber wears because she's
Speaker 1: the cutest, even though it won't look that cute on me.
Speaker 1: But show me a blog where girls put together an
Speaker 1: outfit and you can just buy everything on the outfit.
Speaker 1: Show me one, just give me one. Weren't they around
Speaker 1: a lot? Like, No, it wasn't it was the past.
Speaker 1: This was like twenty thirteen. I remember following cute girls
Speaker 1: blogs blog spots, and you go when you would click
Speaker 1: on the picture and there would be all the links
Speaker 1: to the things that they bought. Now I don't know
Speaker 1: where to go. Like when you type in like cute fault,
Speaker 1: like what sneakers are people wearing this fall? Or like
Speaker 1: what kind of boot style is in this fall? You
Speaker 1: get all different. I don't know what. I don't know
Speaker 1: what type of shoe to wear? Shoes are confounding to
Speaker 1: me girls, I don't know what, because sometimes a style
Speaker 1: will go out so quickly and be so bad looking
Speaker 1: to people who know fashion, and I'm so embarrassed to
Speaker 1: wear it. And sometimes I ask my friend Sara Lena
Speaker 1: because she just has natural good style that like shifts
Speaker 1: with the culture and she doesn't even have to try,
Speaker 1: and so I'll be like, do you think these are cute?
Speaker 1: And she's too nice to be like no, So I
Speaker 1: don't even ask her anymore because I just know she'll
Speaker 1: be nice but like, and I don't want to bother
Speaker 1: her to be like, will you find the right shoe
Speaker 1: for this dress? But I don't know what? I know
Speaker 1: You're like, get a stylist. I do have stylists. They're
Speaker 1: very expensive and I love them so much and they're
Speaker 1: good for like an outfit here and there when I'm
Speaker 1: going to an event where I need to look head
Speaker 1: to so amazing, but I can't afford them on a
Speaker 1: day to day basis. I don't know what you're supposed
Speaker 1: to do, Noah, Like I go to Free People, which
Speaker 1: is like, oh, they have a lot of cute shit.
Speaker 1: I'm overwhelmed. I don't know how to put it together.
Speaker 4: Me too, I have the app and I just spend
Speaker 4: so waste so much time scrolling through. I have the
Speaker 4: same shoe problem. I don't know what shoes to wear.
Speaker 2: I don't know what shoes to wear.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's cute to have a chunky heel.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's cute to have big straps.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's bad to have your feet out.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's good to have Like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what to wear, and I don't see anyone
Speaker 1: trying to help us. And I am not blunt. No
Speaker 1: one's trying to help us. And so that's why I
Speaker 1: buy Taylor Swift merch because I feel in some way
Speaker 1: it's been approved by Taylor Swift, thus it must be cool.
Speaker 1: Even though she doesn't wear her own merch, which is fine,
Speaker 1: I still feel the ed's approved it, so I will
Speaker 1: wear it. That's why Taylor Swift styled. Whenever they say
Speaker 1: what she wore, I buy it because it's already approved
Speaker 1: by someone. But I don't know who to trust. You
Speaker 1: can't go to shop bop dot co and be like,
Speaker 1: what are the best sellers? They're lying to you when
Speaker 1: it's best sellers. And also I don't even know who's
Speaker 1: buying from Shop pop it could be girls without good style.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's bestseller I can't trust.
Speaker 3: Isn't this what influencers are? Like? I feel like every
Speaker 3: time I see an influencer, they're always saying They're always
Speaker 3: like showing a picture of their clothes and then just
Speaker 3: saying where they got them from?
Speaker 1: No, these girls, I'm not kidding you. I'm I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Alex Brenstein, not the girl who does the lowest.
Speaker 2: Voice okay on Family Guy.
Speaker 1: But there's another girl that has a similar name, cutest
Speaker 1: style going. I am obsessed with her. Sorry, I haven't
Speaker 1: learned her name. It's something like that. But you know
Speaker 1: how you know someone very well, but you've never like
Speaker 1: read their name. Does that make any sense to anyone?
Speaker 1: And like really put it in your head? It's so embarrassing.
Speaker 1: It happens to me all the time. But she has
Speaker 1: a great style. But I will click and be like,
Speaker 1: what where is this from? And I like can't find it.
Speaker 1: Like they'll just do the link to like the the
Speaker 1: it's always Chanelle or Gucci or something, and I'm not
Speaker 1: buying that shit, Like I want to know what to
Speaker 1: get at Zara.
Speaker 2: But I also feel bad about that.
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just don't know what to wear. And that's I
Speaker 1: think that's the root of why I'm buying Taylor Swift
Speaker 1: Merchant because I feel in some way it's been approved
Speaker 1: by someone whose style I like. Yeah, and it really hasn't.
Speaker 1: It's just a safe thing for me to buy.
Speaker 3: In the future and the near future, you're gonna be
Speaker 3: watching TV Amazon especially, You're going to be seeing someone
Speaker 3: wearing something on a TV show and then you can
Speaker 3: just click on that thing they're wearing and you'll be
Speaker 3: able to buy it from your TV.
Speaker 1: Why isn't that here yet? This technology was promised to us.
Speaker 1: I feel like flying cars like many years ago.
Speaker 3: Like I think Amazon's going to do it first. I
Speaker 3: guarantee and.
Speaker 1: Shorts T shirts. Now I look like a scrub everywhere
Speaker 1: I go. I'm disappointing to the masses who have any
Speaker 1: kind of Like I went to a store the other
Speaker 1: day and I looked so disgusting that and I was
Speaker 1: returning clothes, which is never I'm gonna tell a story
Speaker 1: I when I get back from break because it's kind
Speaker 1: of fun. So I went to a store the other
Speaker 1: day to return some items which I never do. I
Speaker 1: was so proud of myself, but I'm also nervous because
Speaker 1: whenever I return items, I always feel like I'm breaking
Speaker 1: the law somehow, like i've somehow like like I'm not
Speaker 1: a person who wears things and then returns them, even
Speaker 1: though I know that's a thing. So I think they
Speaker 1: think I'm doing that, which is totally gross to do
Speaker 1: with the kind of ath leisure wear that I was returning.
Speaker 1: But I walked in the store and I was wearing
Speaker 1: a grubby tailor swift shirt.
Speaker 2: Not because it's grubby.
Speaker 1: Inherently, it was grubby because I everything I wash and
Speaker 1: dry goes to shit for some reason. Like things just
Speaker 1: look grubby that I own because I'm stained. I'm a
Speaker 1: stained person. And so call back to a million episodes ago.
Speaker 1: But and then I was wearing biker shorts that had
Speaker 1: like dog hair on them. I just looked like, and
Speaker 1: this is the day I woke up at twelve thirty five,
Speaker 1: This was yesterday. Yeah, And so I walked I walked
Speaker 1: to this place with my dog, and I have a
Speaker 1: baseball cap on.
Speaker 2: I just look not good.
Speaker 1: I know it. My face is puffy, everything's disheveled, and
Speaker 1: I'm returning these items, which by the way, it wasn't
Speaker 1: in the bag from the place they went to, like
Speaker 1: like I'm returning them to so it's like the items
Speaker 1: are in a different bag, you know what. Like it
Speaker 1: just it's that doesn't make you feel good. I always
Speaker 1: feel like a criminal when I'm doing that, Like I
Speaker 1: always like to find the bag.
Speaker 3: With grocery store bag. It wasn't like a Ralph's, was it.
Speaker 2: No random toe.
Speaker 4: They never take a bag though when I try to
Speaker 4: return it with the bag, I want them to reuse it,
Speaker 4: and they just always give it back, so they don't.
Speaker 2: They'll just throw it away.
Speaker 1: But it does look you make you look legitimate, like, oh,
Speaker 1: she's been here before, she shops here. She didn't just
Speaker 1: buy the like get these on the street first.
Speaker 3: She was here recently enough that she still has the
Speaker 3: bag there.
Speaker 1: It just makes you feel like you belong and that
Speaker 1: you're not doing anything shifty, even though I wasn't. Even
Speaker 1: though I did try on the shirt and these the
Speaker 1: tags at this place are safety pin on, so I
Speaker 1: took it off because I thought the shirt was one
Speaker 1: hundred percent gonna fit, and it one hundred percent it
Speaker 1: like two hundred percent did not fit.
Speaker 2: It was like three sizes too small. So I immediately
Speaker 2: put the tag back on.
Speaker 1: But I didn't know where the tag was safety pinned
Speaker 1: on it, so I disclosed that. I said, hey, I
Speaker 1: tried this on. Once I took the safety pin tag off,
Speaker 1: I put it back on. It's not in the right spot.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to put it back in the right spot.
Speaker 1: She didn't care. She didn't even like I thought, maybe
Speaker 1: she was like listening to headphones or something. You know
Speaker 1: when you talk to someone and they don't reply, and
Speaker 1: you go, oh, headphones. At least that's what I hope
Speaker 1: people do for me when I don't reply to them,
Speaker 1: because that is the case. But she didn't say anything.
Speaker 1: She wasn't listening to headphones. She just heard me, I guess,
Speaker 1: but didn't care to respond to that. And she's kind
Speaker 1: of like sorting through these clothes and a couple of
Speaker 1: them have little like two pieces of dog hair on it.
Speaker 1: I see it in the light and I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: oh my god, this looks so gross. Even though I
Speaker 1: literally tried it on and like took it right off
Speaker 1: and I checked for deodorant stains, like it was clear,
Speaker 1: but it maybe had two pieces of dog hair, but
Speaker 1: I just felt grubby, like, oh my god, I'm such
Speaker 1: a bad person.
Speaker 2: I felt bad.
Speaker 1: And then I even like was trying to light the mood,
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my I literally thought I
Speaker 1: was two sizes smaller than I was when I bought
Speaker 1: these blindly the other day.
Speaker 2: And still nothing.
Speaker 1: And I go, oh god, you know, I this girl
Speaker 1: hates me. I hate myself honestly, and I hope she
Speaker 1: rejects this. And she goes, do you have the receipt?
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, I have an emailed hold
Speaker 1: on one second, so I'm looking up the receipt. She's like,
Speaker 1: I'll just get your number. And at this moment, I
Speaker 1: had the thought that I hope she knows who I am.
Speaker 1: I've never had that thought. I literally don't have that thought.
Speaker 1: Maybe once or twice I've been like, oh, so I
Speaker 1: can get a good table or something, or they can
Speaker 1: make it work for us to get a table at
Speaker 1: a place. I've been like, I hope I get recognized,
Speaker 1: but it's never really on the front. It's it doesn't
Speaker 1: occur to me. But in this moment, I was like,
Speaker 1: I want her to know I'm not a scrub, you know, like.
Speaker 2: I just and that's a quick way to know.
Speaker 1: And so I give her my number and she goes, oh,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I love you. Oh my god, why
Speaker 1: are you here? What are you doing here? And I
Speaker 1: was like I live here, and she was like, wait,
Speaker 1: but aren't you on tour? And she was like she
Speaker 1: like knew at me. And then suddenly she got very
Speaker 1: nice and was totally understanding of this. But it was
Speaker 1: but listen, I would have done the same thing. I
Speaker 1: mean sometimes at work, you're just like not in the
Speaker 1: mood for shit, and you're just trying to get your
Speaker 1: job done in its labor day and you're working and.
Speaker 3: Working doesn't give her, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. So I didn't even begrudge her. She
Speaker 1: wasn't didn't have like an attitude before. She just wasn't
Speaker 1: like she was just doing her job. And then she
Speaker 1: totally lit up and was so nice, and I felt
Speaker 1: I felt that, uh, that little like Julia Roberts Pretty
Speaker 1: Woman moment of like big mistake, huge, like oh now,
Speaker 1: But instead it was just me returning things, so like,
Speaker 1: it's not like that you could have made a lot
Speaker 1: of money off of me. I'm like Wow, you just
Speaker 1: lost money, and it was it was a huge mistake
Speaker 1: because I could have walked out of here and not
Speaker 1: returned these things, Like what was I trying to prove?
Speaker 2: But it felt good in that moment too. And then
Speaker 2: I go, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I looked like shit and she was like, no, you
Speaker 1: look amazing, And that was a lie.
Speaker 2: But that was so nice of her too.
Speaker 1: But that was that was like all you returning three
Speaker 1: items and getting two hundred and twenty one dollars back
Speaker 1: on some kind of card is a great feeling. It
Speaker 1: felt like I had earned that money by not keeping
Speaker 1: those clothes. Is that the way to make you feel
Speaker 1: like you earn money is just to buy things, in
Speaker 1: them return them.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because especially if you're a person who'll just
Speaker 3: throw it out or donate it and then it is
Speaker 3: all and then it is like you already you spent
Speaker 3: the money, so you put in the effort because you
Speaker 3: did do work. I did get the money back.
Speaker 1: Oh, I only bought the items. Let me be honest
Speaker 1: with you, because I went, I was bored. This place
Speaker 1: is near where I live. I walked in. I didn't
Speaker 1: want to buy anything. I didn't even like anything, but
Speaker 1: I just felt like the shop person. It was like
Speaker 1: just kind of I thought, again, like this shop person
Speaker 1: thinks I'm grubby and things, I don't have money, and
Speaker 1: I want to just prove that I am like an
Speaker 1: actual person that like, even though the person was very
Speaker 1: helpful and was like can I get you a size
Speaker 1: in that, like, I could just tell that I wanted
Speaker 1: to make it worth their while that they went and
Speaker 1: got a size even though I didn't even want to
Speaker 1: size with it, and so I was I was literally
Speaker 1: pressured into buying the thing, which and that's why I
Speaker 1: go like, oh my god, this is why I like
Speaker 1: online shopping. No one's being like that looks cute on you?
Speaker 1: Do you want a size on that? What's going on?
Speaker 1: Thank you so much to people who work in retail.
Speaker 1: I know it is a thankless and awful job because
Speaker 1: you like clean up after people and you really realize
Speaker 1: how like shitty human beings are. But I don't ever
Speaker 1: need any help ever in a retail store. I don't
Speaker 1: think I've ever want and I'm maybe not like a
Speaker 1: lot of people because I'm you know, I have lots
Speaker 1: of friends who are like like to try on things
Speaker 1: and like, oh they are excited to have someone go,
Speaker 1: I'll start a room for you. I've never wanted anyone
Speaker 1: to start a room for me. I don't I can't
Speaker 1: buy the item.
Speaker 3: People try them on at home?
Speaker 2: Yeah, one time, Oh, if they tell you something looks cute.
Speaker 3: I rarely ever go into a store to buy clothes,
Speaker 3: but one time, in my memory, I went to Bonobos.
Speaker 3: You know Bonobos.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, went oh, and they are very customer service heavy.
Speaker 3: Yeah. They give you like they're like, do you want
Speaker 3: a beer? And I'm like what, yeah, yeah, And I'm
Speaker 3: trying on these shorts and I remember I was trying
Speaker 3: and I was with someone who I barely know, and
Speaker 3: I tried on these salmon shorts that were like, oh,
Speaker 3: that's really high, and I was like, wait is this me?
Speaker 3: Can I actually wear these? And everyone around me was like, oh,
Speaker 3: those are amazing, They're so good. And so I bought
Speaker 3: these salmon shorts and the first time I was wearing them,
Speaker 3: I was like, I feel like a freak. I would
Speaker 3: never wear high high salmon shorts ever, and this was
Speaker 3: a huge mistake. And so I was like, so, how
Speaker 3: could I trust these The retail person who's telling me
Speaker 3: that it looks so amazing when they were that wrong.
Speaker 3: Like so Collise, I.
Speaker 1: Do like when they go, oh, I get to the
Speaker 1: front counter and I'm buying something, she goes, oh, I
Speaker 1: love this. Oh my god, I got one of these too.
Speaker 1: I got this in like every color. I kind of
Speaker 1: feel validated and that will make me maybe keep it
Speaker 1: more because I think it's like a hot item. She's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, we were almost out of these or something,
Speaker 1: you know, like you create a need. But overall, I
Speaker 1: really I don't want to talk to anyone in the store,
Speaker 1: and I'm really sorry to everyone who works in stores,
Speaker 1: and that's like your fucking job, and like if you
Speaker 1: don't do it, you get reprimanded by management, Like you
Speaker 1: can't not ask me if I want to start a room.
Speaker 1: But I don't ever want to start a room. I
Speaker 1: always want to try everything at home. I've said this before.
Speaker 1: I do think it's a trick that they have bad
Speaker 1: lighting in those stores, because it discourages you from trying
Speaker 1: it on in stores, like a little room where you
Speaker 1: can't even get it far enough away from the mirror
Speaker 1: that you feel good about your body, like you're like
Speaker 1: right up close next to it, like I can't know what.
Speaker 1: Do you shop at stores? Ever? I? Yes, I do.
Speaker 4: And because I live in a very small area, I
Speaker 4: always go to the same stores. And there's one store
Speaker 4: in particular that I love going to, and there's this
Speaker 4: sales association. She's really really sweet, very nice, does the
Speaker 4: same thing. Can I help you find something? No, I'm good,
Speaker 4: thank you. And then I'll be looking at something to
Speaker 4: be like, oh that would be cute on you. Can
Speaker 4: I start a fitting room? All that right? And then yeah,
Speaker 4: of course because I played into it and I talk
Speaker 4: to her now every time I go there, she has
Speaker 4: this conversation.
Speaker 1: She looks me so like deeply in the eyes and all.
Speaker 3: Like with me.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah, And.
Speaker 4: It's like every time I go there, I love the store.
Speaker 4: But every time I go there, I was like, Okay,
Speaker 4: she's not working today, so I could just get things done.
Speaker 1: God, I know, because that's the other thing is when
Speaker 1: you touch an item and then they're right behind you
Speaker 1: and they fix it. You've unfolded an item, and then
Speaker 1: I try to fold it back and I almost make
Speaker 1: it look perfect, and then they fix it after me.
Speaker 1: Like I I can't. I want to.
Speaker 2: I just want to leave.
Speaker 1: Although let me, just like completely negate everything I just said.
Speaker 1: Are you ready? Yesterday I was shopping for like new
Speaker 1: yoga pants or something, final thought.
Speaker 3: And you're like, first down does make sense?
Speaker 1: No, it still doesn't. It never will. And I'm honestly
Speaker 1: pissed off that no one goes Nikki.
Speaker 2: That's actually an interesting question.
Speaker 1: That's all I want is people to go that Actually
Speaker 1: is weird that they name the steps to the thing
Speaker 1: the same thing as the thing that's interesting, and calling
Speaker 1: a ladder a wrung when each of the rungs are
Speaker 1: called rungs. That's what it is, like, Like, Okay, I
Speaker 1: want to get up to that tree. Okay, so you're
Speaker 1: gonna do first tree, then second tree, then third tree,
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna get up to the tree. What
Speaker 1: what excuse me? I'm first tree again, and then you're
Speaker 1: gonna start over and then we're gonna start at first
Speaker 1: tree again and then yeah, it's it's nuts. This takes me.
Speaker 1: This is completely the other side of the coin. But
Speaker 1: Chris and I were talking about I was like lamenting
Speaker 1: about I was trying to buy some ath leisure and
Speaker 1: I'm like, God, should I try this brand? And he goes,
Speaker 1: why don't you Have you ever tried Alo? And I said, Chris,
Speaker 1: that's very interesting. I will never buy clothing from Alo
Speaker 1: ever intentionally. I mean, if they give me something after
Speaker 1: this speech, I will. But and I'm saying this as
Speaker 1: a white woman who has never really felt this way
Speaker 1: before in my life, and I just want to make
Speaker 1: that very clear that I'm talking from a place of
Speaker 1: like I felt like I was ignored and treated as
Speaker 1: less then, and it's probably me appropriating something in some
Speaker 1: way I don't even know. Let me just scratch that
Speaker 1: not you can leave it in, but scratch it. You
Speaker 1: know from your memories that you just heard it. You
Speaker 1: get what I'm saying. I went to an Alo yoga
Speaker 1: in Beverly Hills and I was dressed a little scrubby,
Speaker 1: but that's fine, and no one talked to me, and
Speaker 1: I was no one was talking to me, and I
Speaker 1: saw them talking to other people asking for help, and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh God, when is this gonna happen?
Speaker 1: I don't want it to happen. No one. Then I
Speaker 1: was like, let me just see how long I can
Speaker 1: stay here and see if anyone asks if I want
Speaker 1: help for anything, because it seems to be happening all
Speaker 1: over the place for these girls with rock and bods,
Speaker 1: and like, I don't have a horrible bod, but at
Speaker 1: this point I was not like fit and I looked
Speaker 1: a little scrubby, like maybe I couldn't afford stuff in
Speaker 1: there or something, or just like not cool enough to
Speaker 1: wear it. No one helped me, and I was in
Speaker 1: there for like twenty minutes trying, like just kind of
Speaker 1: looking around, giving off the vibe if I need help,
Speaker 1: and I got I go. That really was shitty, and
Speaker 1: I didn't like how I felt in there, And I'm
Speaker 1: sure that's how a lot of people feel going places
Speaker 1: because of other things they can't control about themselves. I
Speaker 1: don't know what it was. Maybe I had on a
Speaker 1: cloak of invisibility that day, which was like a dirty
Speaker 1: tailor swift sweatshirt or something, and they're like, she can't
Speaker 1: possibly afford alo yoga even though it's not that expensive.
Speaker 1: And then but that's not it. Then I went to
Speaker 1: another one months later, even though I was like, I
Speaker 1: didn't like that experience, went to another one, same thing happened.
Speaker 1: No one helps me and they were helping everyone else.
Speaker 1: So I refused to ever buy from them. Again, because
Speaker 1: I felt like somehow like every girl in there just
Speaker 1: like thought I would like so gross, like she doesn't
Speaker 1: deserve to wear our clothes. And I want to also
Speaker 1: say this about like Rachel and I was talking to
Speaker 1: the girls chat about this, but like, why is it
Speaker 1: that when you walk into a place to buy a
Speaker 1: clothes and it's like, let's just say, like Artesia or like,
Speaker 1: I guess, like an alo yoga or I'm trying to
Speaker 1: think of like not even not Zara, but like a
Speaker 1: place that's like maybe even anthropology. I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's anthro but like coach, like yeah, Lululemon, No, not
Speaker 1: even Nordstrom because they're so friendly, But why is it
Speaker 1: that I think they're cooler than me and I think
Speaker 1: they're kind of mean girling me, and I desperately want
Speaker 1: to win over their approval, and I feel like I
Speaker 1: have to buy things in order to convince them that
Speaker 1: I deserve to shop there. I know this is my
Speaker 1: own insecurity and I should just not care what people think.
Speaker 2: Easier said than done.
Speaker 1: But I really look at the root of it, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's no I'm throwing no shade because I
Speaker 1: think retail is a great profession and one that's really difficult,
Speaker 1: and one that I would I was always scared to
Speaker 1: do because I just didn't feel like I was cool
Speaker 1: enough to do it, like even in high school or college.
Speaker 1: Like I was like, I don't dress well enough to
Speaker 1: have that job, and I don't carry myself well enough.
Speaker 1: I'm not like put together enough. I'm a stained person.
Speaker 1: But these people I treat like they are in a
Speaker 1: win tour, you know, Like I act like they are
Speaker 1: so much better than me, and I want to impress them.
Speaker 1: And I feel like even bad being in their shop.
Speaker 1: It's not their shop. They're making maybe a little above
Speaker 1: minimum wage, and I'm acting like they are richer than me,
Speaker 1: like not that that's like there's a status to.
Speaker 3: Their well because they're young and hot and so they
Speaker 3: automatically are the gatekeepers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess that's it. I guess there was not
Speaker 1: really much to explore hair except that they're young and hot.
Speaker 2: You're so right, and I do.
Speaker 1: Actually, if I quit comedy and was like, you know what,
Speaker 1: I just want to get a regular job, I would
Speaker 1: still never do retail, not be because it's like hard
Speaker 1: work and stuff. Because I don't think I'm cute enough
Speaker 1: to do it, and so that is a thing that
Speaker 1: I I do.
Speaker 3: Work you an auto parts store or like an r E. I, yeah.
Speaker 1: No riture, but I.
Speaker 3: Want this stuff.
Speaker 1: I feel way stupid. I feel way better working at
Speaker 1: an ri I and faking being into nature than I
Speaker 1: would at working at a Bloomy's yeah, or like a
Speaker 1: oh my god, working at a sex I would be
Speaker 1: how because you have to dress like you shop there,
Speaker 1: but you make a wage that makes it so you
Speaker 1: can't even with your discount.
Speaker 2: I think most of the time.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think these women that work at sex
Speaker 1: at least the one I go to make, there's no
Speaker 1: way they're like that's their only income. There's just no way.
Speaker 1: They have to have husbands or something like doing something.
Speaker 1: It's just it's how do you work those high end
Speaker 1: stores and dress it. I don't know, maybe there's answers
Speaker 1: out there, but I just the other day I was
Speaker 1: like the intimidation I feel shopping and going in places
Speaker 1: where girls are dressed cute, and it's places I want
Speaker 1: to shop from, But I'm too intimidated by it. Like
Speaker 1: even though even those things where you like hire like
Speaker 1: a stitch fix, you like hire a stylist to like
Speaker 1: put together a box, are you. Yeah, I was like
Speaker 1: at times too embarrassed to even get one of those
Speaker 1: because I didn't want them to see like what they're
Speaker 1: dealing with. Because I have such shame and insecurity about
Speaker 1: how I dress. Yeah, it's such a weird thing and
Speaker 1: that I can't let go of. Like I just even
Speaker 1: though I've learned a lot of stuff to figure out
Speaker 1: how to be cute, I still at the end of
Speaker 1: the day always grab the grubbiest. I have nice things
Speaker 1: in my closet, I'll never wear them because I feel
Speaker 1: somehow not deserved age. You're killing it. Yeah, on stage,
Speaker 1: I rent things.
Speaker 2: I rent rent the rut.
Speaker 3: Way strange because in the public eye on stage you're
Speaker 3: like a fashion icon. Yeah, you wear on during your special?
Speaker 1: Sure? Oh, because I have a stylists, yeah, telling me
Speaker 1: exactly what to wear, and I trust them literally blindly.
Speaker 1: There is I mean sometimes I go, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I'm not comfortable in this, and that's like the most
Speaker 1: all way in But I can take literally zero credit
Speaker 1: for that. They'll be like Nikki the Emmy's is coming
Speaker 1: up this weekend. I gotta text some of them last week.
Speaker 1: So what are you thinking for the Emmys? I go,
Speaker 1: I literally whatever you think. I had no direction, no color,
Speaker 1: no shape, no style. I go, I want I just
Speaker 1: want the shoes to be like, not bear traps for
Speaker 1: my feet, so I can kind of walk, but actually
Speaker 1: make them bear traps. Who cares, I'll just bring flats.
Speaker 1: I've learned my lesson, so I don't know. I give
Speaker 1: no direction. I guess it's nice to know when you
Speaker 1: know what you want, and it's nice to know when
Speaker 1: you truly don't know and it doesn't matter. And it
Speaker 1: reminds me of my mom shopping for back to school
Speaker 1: clothes all through my childhood, and my mom's screaming at
Speaker 1: me and famous bar going you don't even know what
Speaker 1: you like and be being like I don't. But for
Speaker 1: some reason, my mom's tone insinuated that that made me
Speaker 1: a flawed person, and so it is ingrained in me
Speaker 1: that there's something wrong with me that I don't know
Speaker 1: what I like. But I like Taylor Swift merch. Here
Speaker 1: you go, and that's and you're about to see at
Speaker 1: least six new shirts in a row on this podcast,
Speaker 1: because that's all I can give you. And then I
Speaker 1: will say that if I ever get a compliment on
Speaker 1: something from someone who I think is stylish aka Serlena,
Speaker 1: I will buy that thing for the ever. And that's
Speaker 1: like the thing I'll buy. She complimented some sunglasses I
Speaker 1: got from Amazon. I've bought thirteen pairs. I've lost twelve.
Speaker 1: I can't stop buying them. They're seven ninety nine. I'll
Speaker 1: try to remember to put a link in my thing,
Speaker 1: but they're they're They're the ones I've worn on the
Speaker 1: show that are like look like truck or sunglasses like
Speaker 1: aviator type, like cover like my entire face and sea.
Speaker 1: Lena was like, those are cute, girl, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, they're Amazon.
Speaker 2: I was like so excited.
Speaker 1: She was like I kind of don't need them, but
Speaker 1: she did say they were cute, and so I will
Speaker 1: buy them forever. I just anytime a cute girl compliments anything,
Speaker 1: I will remember it the rest of my life. So
Speaker 1: if you are a girl up there with good style
Speaker 1: walking around, when you compliment a girl who's a little
Speaker 1: bit insecure, you are giving her the greatest hip you
Speaker 1: can't even imagine. We remember it forever. Noah, pull up
Speaker 1: from your memory a time where a girl that has
Speaker 1: my hairstylist. What did she say? What was the shoe?
Speaker 1: What was the thing you were wearing? And let us know.
Speaker 4: I know it's a black romper that I got from
Speaker 4: made Well that I was just gonna wear as like
Speaker 4: an everyday thing. And she's like, that looks so good.
Speaker 4: Where did you get it from? I need to get one.
Speaker 1: And she has great style and you respect her and
Speaker 1: so she never forgotten it and you will never throw
Speaker 1: that out right, Never, girls, if you have good style
Speaker 1: days where I look like I have good style, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna start following my own advice and giving girls compliments
Speaker 1: because it it fucking matters.
Speaker 2: All right.
