Speaker 1: The nick A Gliser Podcast. Oh, nik Klaser, here's Nikki.
Speaker 1: Hello here, I am welcome to the show. It's the Nicki.
Speaker 2: Glazer Podcast with me today.
Speaker 1: Noah is in Arizona. Anya's in New York City.
Speaker 2: Brian Frangie, our new permanent sidekick, is in Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: How's it going everyone?
Speaker 3: I'm not crying today?
Speaker 1: What when did you cry?
Speaker 3: Remember Saturday on tour? I just went for an hour
Speaker 3: Saturday on tour.
Speaker 1: You cried?
Speaker 3: We were driving.
Speaker 1: I was blacking this out.
Speaker 3: Remember, I was like, I made a list of my
Speaker 3: anxieties and I ate.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was during the drive. I was thinking Saturday,
Speaker 2: like during the show. Yeah, during Saturday on tour, which
Speaker 2: we're on tour right now. We're in Tucson. Next weekend
Speaker 2: in Vegas and then a lot of European cities. I
Speaker 2: added up ten cities in fourteen days. But on we
Speaker 2: were this weekend. We were in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania on Friday,
Speaker 2: great show and then two shows in New Hampshire on
Speaker 2: Saturday night. And we had to drive five and a
Speaker 2: half hours, which you know with stops, ends up being
Speaker 2: like six and a half.
Speaker 1: And in the morning, how did we even get on
Speaker 1: the subject.
Speaker 2: I mean, we were just pulling out of town and
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, Anya, oh, because on you couldn't sleep.
Speaker 2: You couldn't sleep the night before, we got terrible sleep
Speaker 2: because we had a wake up so early to drive.
Speaker 3: And you know, I was like, I just had a
Speaker 3: list of anxieties for four hours in the middle of
Speaker 3: the night.
Speaker 1: But you made a list.
Speaker 2: Do you find that helpful when you are Why is
Speaker 2: that helpful to make a list for you? Because I
Speaker 2: was guessing that's a tool you used to get out
Speaker 2: of anxiety.
Speaker 3: It was the last ditch effort because I was like,
Speaker 3: you gotta stop, Like, if you cannot sleep and none
Speaker 3: of this meditation or breathing is working, just make a
Speaker 3: list so you can get it out right. And then
Speaker 3: my theory was, I bet it's like four things that
Speaker 3: I'm just recycling over and over. It wasn't It was
Speaker 3: like twenty seven yeah, so long. I was like scared
Speaker 3: I will have or get COVID and never be able
Speaker 3: to tour Europe or get married.
Speaker 4: Do you think about making an appointment to worry where
Speaker 4: you write down your list and you say I'm gonna
Speaker 4: worry about these at ten fifteen am tomorrow morning.
Speaker 1: That's interesting.
Speaker 2: That's because it doesn't let you off the hook of
Speaker 2: like never worrying, because when you kind of put things,
Speaker 2: when you go just don't think about it, you're like, well,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to get to this at some point,
Speaker 2: Like this requires but giving yourself a total break from
Speaker 2: it knowing you will get to it.
Speaker 3: I wish I could do that, but it feels like
Speaker 3: my obsession is too strong. It's like the Hulk. It's
Speaker 3: like ha ha. You think you can tell a little
Speaker 3: tool will work against.
Speaker 4: I mean, twenty seven is a lot I can't imagine.
Speaker 2: Well, you can't control your thoughts and everyone knows that,
Speaker 2: like I hope at this point, there's no free will,
Speaker 2: so they're just coming in.
Speaker 1: You can't really help them.
Speaker 3: But there are things you can do that Brian's thing.
Speaker 2: Well, because I think the thoughts are like a stream.
Speaker 2: You can kind of like damn them up and you
Speaker 2: can direct them in different ways and like steer them
Speaker 2: by doing devices like that.
Speaker 1: But you can't just help all slow.
Speaker 4: All self help things is just you have all these
Speaker 4: things that you can do and then they take up
Speaker 4: all your day and then they don't help at all,
Speaker 4: but you do that.
Speaker 3: You do help doing all day doing it because you're worried.
Speaker 1: Total.
Speaker 4: I spend all my days stretching and breathing, and I
Speaker 4: feel like, oh yeah, you stretching do I have to do?
Speaker 2: Making my bed does not improve anything for me. It's
Speaker 2: just I have a nice looking bed, but still my
Speaker 2: life is in shambles.
Speaker 3: I can't get back into bed, yeah, because it's so tight.
Speaker 2: My therapist recently, and we'll get to your my surpist
Speaker 2: recently told me that she was like, what do you
Speaker 2: what do you want to do when you feel anxiety?
Speaker 2: And I go, I want to curl up in a ball,
Speaker 2: like I want to lay I want to lay down
Speaker 2: on my stomach and like put my hands underneath my
Speaker 2: like I want to feel a lot intense pressure.
Speaker 1: I want to be pressurized and.
Speaker 4: Like gravity blanket.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so like gravity blankets. I never liked, but I
Speaker 2: kind of do. I get it because I'm trying to
Speaker 2: do that by laying on my stomach. That's why I
Speaker 2: lay in my stomach. I want to feel like I'm
Speaker 2: being squished. Yeah, oh I would love that, but she
Speaker 2: said she goes do it. You know, I think most
Speaker 2: therapists would go, don't go to your room and lay
Speaker 2: in the dark and try to fall asleep when you're
Speaker 2: feeling anxiety. But she's like, do it if it works,
Speaker 2: that's a soothing thing.
Speaker 4: You used to get migraine headaches all the time, and
Speaker 4: you would like your.
Speaker 1: Head I take it out. Yeah. Actually, those guys.
Speaker 3: Put in are too similar.
Speaker 2: Uti has definitely got added into my vagina after the
Speaker 2: there's only room for one you thing and three lettered
Speaker 2: thing in my.
Speaker 1: Puss at a time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I used to get Yeah, my IUD caused
Speaker 2: me great migraines and it was so it was the
Speaker 2: worst thing in my life. And then Chris would have
Speaker 2: to take my head and put it into his vice
Speaker 2: like grip and just push it together. And he was
Speaker 2: so scared that my head was going to snap like
Speaker 2: a candle ope, and I go, yes.
Speaker 1: Please do that.
Speaker 2: I would love for my head to my skull to break,
Speaker 2: because that would feel better and it would relieve the tension,
Speaker 2: you know, like you just want to break up the tension. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, so your anxiety list didn't help.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I went to sleep afterwards, but I was
Speaker 3: I was sort of shocked, like, fuck, dude, this is
Speaker 3: a lot to worry about. Like this is actually real.
Speaker 2: You know how they say read a book to fall asleep,
Speaker 2: like yours. You wrote a book that'll make you fall
Speaker 2: asleep pretty fast. There was this old lady who used
Speaker 2: to or me.
Speaker 4: He was an old man that they didn't interview on
Speaker 4: because he was one hundred and fifteen years old and
Speaker 4: he was still cutting hair. He was a barber, and
Speaker 4: they asked him what's the secret to your longevity? And
Speaker 4: he said, I don't worry about anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Stress when it was like one hundred and ten,
Speaker 3: Remember they did that video with all the older people
Speaker 3: Like she was like, the secret to life is just
Speaker 3: be happy every day, every damn happy. She's like everyone
Speaker 3: in life was dead.
Speaker 4: The secret to a long life is to just keep
Speaker 4: living for many years not worrying.
Speaker 1: I mean, stress is it? You know?
Speaker 2: Once you look at We talked about that uh doctor
Speaker 2: Sarno book, The Healing Back Pain that completely transformed your
Speaker 2: back pain, right, Brian, and you you talked.
Speaker 5: To all paint what I had, all chronic pelvic pain
Speaker 5: I had. It's not even just back pain. Yeah, it's
Speaker 5: all pains.
Speaker 1: And it was all in your head, right, Well, not
Speaker 1: in a way that it was an to say, yeah,
Speaker 1: and that's why people don't like all in your head.
Speaker 1: But it shouldn't be condescending. It's not.
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean that you're causing it. If it's in
Speaker 2: your head again, you're are not your fault. So it's
Speaker 2: still something that people can feel sorry for you because
Speaker 2: it's actual pain. But it is not because there's a
Speaker 2: like a physic a torsion, and you're groin the.
Speaker 4: Check for there was no torsion. That meansion is when
Speaker 4: your testicles wrap around each other and start stuffocating.
Speaker 3: Each other closer.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you put a rubber band around your finger
Speaker 4: for long enough, it'll turn blue and it'll just fall off. Yes,
Speaker 4: all right, everybody is that it?
Speaker 1: It'll just fall off?
Speaker 4: Got do it?
Speaker 2: Just I saw a tribe that cuts off I saw
Speaker 2: a thing on it Reddit and there's a tribe that
Speaker 2: like cuts off men's fingers to test their strength and
Speaker 2: if they WinCE, they keep getting their fingers cut until
Speaker 2: they're not wincing anymore. And there's this one guy with
Speaker 2: like he's just like they got to they were off
Speaker 2: his toes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to see the banshees of inn Is Sharon.
Speaker 1: No, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't think I need to see it. If it's
Speaker 2: on that note, I don't want to see that happen.
Speaker 3: It's just such a good metaphor it. I'm curious what
Speaker 3: you think it's about. It is such a simple story,
Speaker 3: but it's like so crazy to watch. Can I just
Speaker 3: tell you a tiny bit of what it's about?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 2: Yeah, spoiler alert for thee of Irishian and that no
Speaker 2: one's saw and no one will see.
Speaker 3: It was nominated for an Oscar. It's one of the
Speaker 3: best comes. So Colin Farrell is a very simple man
Speaker 3: and he's best friends with this guy who's like a crank,
Speaker 3: a curmudgeon, and he comes by his house every day
Speaker 3: and they hang out every day in this tiny town
Speaker 3: where there's one bar. And one day he comes over.
Speaker 3: He's like hey, and the guy's like, I don't want
Speaker 3: to hang out, like he doesn't want to talk to him,
Speaker 3: and Colin Farrell is just very simple. Why don't you
Speaker 3: want to talk. I'm the nicest guy in town. Let's
Speaker 3: hang out. You're my best friend. He's like, I'm sick
Speaker 3: of you. I'm sick of what your dumb stories. And
Speaker 3: I just don't. I don't hate you. I just want
Speaker 3: to be done with this. I just want to spend
Speaker 3: my life alone. I want to practice my violin, that's
Speaker 3: what I love doing. And I just don't want to
Speaker 3: be your friend anymore, no offense. And then he keeps
Speaker 3: bugging him, and then there comes a point where he's
Speaker 3: the guy's like, if you talk to me one more time,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna cut off my finger and and then I
Speaker 3: will leave it there. But the film continues, and it's
Speaker 3: so insane to watch because you're like, who's more insane,
Speaker 3: this crank or Colin Fair guy who kind.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like the crank. I'm a crank.
Speaker 1: So as anyone ever told you I don't want to
Speaker 1: hang out with you anymore?
Speaker 2: Have we ever? Has anyone here ever had a friend
Speaker 2: out of the blue just kind of cut things off
Speaker 2: and with under the guise of like, I don't like
Speaker 2: you any like I don't.
Speaker 4: It would be pretty bold for someone to come out
Speaker 4: and straight up say I don't want to hang out
Speaker 4: with you.
Speaker 2: Well, you can infer that, but I guess, I guess
Speaker 2: no matter what we've we were lied to. If this
Speaker 2: happened to us, and it's whether or not you saw
Speaker 2: through the lie. But most of the time a friend
Speaker 2: cuts you off, it is because they just don't like
Speaker 2: you anymore.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, I've had to do it.
Speaker 4: You've had to cut people off before? Yeah, oh yeah,
Speaker 4: you go straight up to them and you say we're done.
Speaker 1: No, well, I have had to do that before.
Speaker 2: I've had a girl that was pretty persistent afterwards, and
Speaker 2: I had to ultimately say it was right around the
Speaker 2: time I quit drinking, so I had a good excuse of, like,
Speaker 2: I just don't drink anymore. That was kind of our
Speaker 2: thing and I don't have we don't have that in common,
Speaker 2: and I just needed And she would talk really loud
Speaker 2: in public spaces anytime we'd be out to eat. I
Speaker 2: would be very embarrassed, and I'd try to like whisper
Speaker 2: to kind of like do you know what to do?
Speaker 2: And it would just people were staring, and I you
Speaker 2: love to talk.
Speaker 4: So imagine you're seeing someone in the corner you want
Speaker 4: to shit talk about them, and she's like.
Speaker 1: That one over there, Yes, good shit talk. And I
Speaker 1: don't mind listen.
Speaker 2: I don't mind getting a little loud when I know
Speaker 2: people are kind of entertained by eavesdropping on my conversation.
Speaker 2: I won't be super loud, but I can tell when
Speaker 2: people are kind of like this is a fun like
Speaker 2: in an uber. If I'm talking about something, If I'm like,
Speaker 2: gossip about some celebrity I know dirt on, and I
Speaker 2: know this person probably knows that celebrity too, I will
Speaker 2: get louder. I did this recently on a girl's trip.
Speaker 1: We had a I was just.
Speaker 2: Come in, yeah, and I was mouthing off about a
Speaker 2: celebrity that I know some dirt on. I know a
Speaker 2: lot of shit on. I was shit talking literally, and
Speaker 2: I'll tell you later. Brian and and I could tell
Speaker 2: everyone was kind of like we should and I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: let it out. I want to get this out because
Speaker 2: anyone he tells Nicki Glazer was saying this about this person,
Speaker 2: I can always deny it, you know, like I'll just
Speaker 2: fucking deny I said it, you know. But also I
Speaker 2: was reading things I found on Reddit about this person
Speaker 2: as well that backed it up. And I'd only heard
Speaker 2: this through stories, and then I saw this whole Reddit
Speaker 2: thread where it was like, no, these are stories that
Speaker 2: about this person. I was like, it's it's subsistantiated a
Speaker 2: word corroborated. Yeah, I know so, but yeah, I can
Speaker 2: sense when I'm being entertaining with my with the octavet
Speaker 2: which or the volume with which I'm speaking, and then
Speaker 2: I can tell some people Chris doesn't, my boyfriend doesn't
Speaker 2: love how loud I can be in public sometimes and
Speaker 2: I can't be too loud. I grew up getting shushed
Speaker 2: a lot in restaurants and stuff because I'm just a
Speaker 2: loud person. Haven't been in a while, but I think
Speaker 2: that's more of a power thing now, like people are
Speaker 2: too scared to shush me, so I should probably keep
Speaker 2: it down, is what I'm.
Speaker 4: I love that. I love giving people a story to tell.
Speaker 4: I used to do that. Yes, walking through the streets
Speaker 4: of New York, you always walk past so many strangers,
Speaker 4: and a game I used to play was called give
Speaker 4: them a Story. I didn't call it that, but NI
Speaker 4: explains it pretty well. So what I do. I'd be
Speaker 4: by myself usually, or i'd be with a person I
Speaker 4: don't have to be alone, and I'd be walking and
Speaker 4: I would go I would just try to say something
Speaker 4: that they would overhear that then there'd be a story
Speaker 4: for them, like I'd go, like I'd be on my
Speaker 4: phone and I'd go I told them only two meatballs
Speaker 4: or something like that, and they'd go to their friend
Speaker 4: at Starbucks. Like this guy was like flipping out about meatballs.
Speaker 2: Yes, you end up in a John mullaney joke, Like
Speaker 2: John Lady has so many jokes where he's.
Speaker 1: Like eat ass, sell drugs.
Speaker 2: Educt Like there's always like a weird person saying something.
Speaker 2: I realized this this week and we were listening to
Speaker 2: John Mulaney in the car, which is great inspiration. Like,
Speaker 2: I forget how much how good it is for me
Speaker 2: to listen to comedians I love because it's just their style.
Speaker 2: I absorb some of their things that I like about them,
Speaker 2: and then thus I become better by using some of
Speaker 2: the things that I already gravitate towards. Naturally, I'm not
Speaker 2: doing it because I'm like people like John Laney. I'll
Speaker 2: do what he does. But I'm like, oh, I like
Speaker 2: the way he You know, I've realized something. He's a
Speaker 2: fantastic writer, no question about it. I talk about him
Speaker 2: all the time as one of the best standup comics
Speaker 2: out there.
Speaker 1: We all know it. But the way that he talks
Speaker 1: and the way he'll change his the dynamics of his
Speaker 1: voice to emphasize things is very is a lot of
Speaker 1: what makes him so enjoyable. And I go, well, I
Speaker 1: can do that, like I'm just talking like a normal person.
Speaker 1: I sometimes have fun with going like but I was
Speaker 1: doing it a lot more this weekend and it was
Speaker 1: so much fun, and it really like colored in. It's
Speaker 1: like having a coloring book and you're like, oh, those
Speaker 1: are good drawings, and then you color it in with
Speaker 1: the vocal intonations and stuff. Tools.
Speaker 4: They're just tools in your tool belt. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 4: that's why I started smashing watermelons on stage.
Speaker 6: Because well, I'm finding myself to be a little sexist here,
Speaker 6: because I do hate when female comics do this mugging
Speaker 6: after a joke that I've made compilations of, Like I've
Speaker 6: been so bored with my life and so annoyed by
Speaker 6: some trends in comedy that I've literally made, Like.
Speaker 4: What is it?
Speaker 1: It's okay?
Speaker 3: Oh They'll say a punchline and then go, yeah, you
Speaker 3: can't see the video.
Speaker 1: Yeah I'm looking okay.
Speaker 2: If you if you watch Succession Ship, Roy is always
Speaker 2: going she's her, she's tucking.
Speaker 3: Her head back and then looking to.
Speaker 1: The side like, hmm, I think it's that.
Speaker 4: I think.
Speaker 2: Amy did invent it. Thank you Amy, Like that's I love.
Speaker 2: Amy invented a lot of things that you know, I
Speaker 2: don't think she gets credit for. And I think that
Speaker 2: she gets thrown under the bus now because she you know,
Speaker 2: people just get tired of seeing someone too much and
Speaker 2: then they have to that's what happens. Like, that's why
Speaker 2: I don't want to be too famous, because they'll turn
Speaker 2: on you eventually. But she was, yeah, she was you
Speaker 2: were friends with Amy, right, Brian.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I did her website for seven years. That's right.
Speaker 1: She's like, we need to we need tory my website
Speaker 1: through go Daddy.
Speaker 4: She's so loyal, like there was there was no indication
Speaker 4: that she was ever going to drop me. And then
Speaker 4: when train Wreck came out, huh, I had to call
Speaker 4: her and say, I can't do your website anymore. I'm
Speaker 4: just a guy, like you need a company to do this.
Speaker 4: And then she was like that makes sense, and then
Speaker 4: that was it. Wow, Yeah I got there.
Speaker 2: Yeah she but yeah, she definitely doesn't she would do
Speaker 2: the thing where she goes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then she kind of does like an um afterwards. Hmmm,
Speaker 1: like there is that. Yes, there are other female comics
Speaker 1: that do it too. I do it like.
Speaker 2: They are definitely Amy mannerisms I've picked up. There's there's
Speaker 2: just anyone I watch. I'll pick up something that they
Speaker 2: do and you could accuse me of stealing or whatever,
Speaker 2: but it's not conscious. But this mugging thing is taking
Speaker 2: up twenty five percent of these comics act and I
Speaker 2: don't see men doing it. I could see John going
Speaker 2: what huh huh like and at least he doesn't overuse
Speaker 2: it though I don't feel but maybe I'm being sexist
Speaker 2: here and I'm just like more jealous of women.
Speaker 4: And I compare an I have a man, one, you
Speaker 4: have a man? Please tell I do it all the
Speaker 4: time because I love it, and I think I started doing.
Speaker 1: The mugging too and it works, and I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: disgusted why this works because the audience does love like
Speaker 1: a close up of like a confused woman. Okay, what works?
Speaker 4: Well? My favorite comic is probably Norm MacDonald and he's
Speaker 4: probably the one who I got this from. And I
Speaker 4: think a lot of comics where you just lean into
Speaker 4: a punchline and you go says, punchline, my punchline.
Speaker 1: You do talk like that?
Speaker 4: That works?
Speaker 1: That works, It totally works. I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't think it works. It gives it a little boost,
Speaker 2: but you gotta be willing. It's gotta be funny already,
Speaker 2: and you can't rely on it too much. So I
Speaker 2: don't fault you for throwing that in.
Speaker 4: I just my whole set is I just do this
Speaker 4: over and over.
Speaker 2: No, you have actually funny jokes. But yes, I've been
Speaker 2: watching a lot of Norm recently. Did you see his
Speaker 2: SNL monologue when he hosted SNL a year and a
Speaker 2: half after being fired. No, Oh my god, you have
Speaker 2: to see You have to watch it again. It's on
Speaker 2: It was on Reddit. I saw it the other day.
Speaker 2: He pretty much says, they fired me from the show.
Speaker 2: And he goes, it's been a year and a half.
Speaker 2: He goes, they fired me because I'm not funny. What
Speaker 2: happened the past year and a half and now I'm funny?
Speaker 2: He was like, you know what, He goes, nothing's changed.
Speaker 2: I haven't gotten funnier. The only thing that's happened is
Speaker 2: this show has gotten less funny.
Speaker 1: This show sucks so now, and he pretty much is like,
Speaker 1: and then instead of saying at the end, he goes,
Speaker 1: you know how they always go, it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: great show, he goes, it's gonna be a terrible show.
Speaker 1: Tonight We've got Snoop Dogg. He was so good.
Speaker 2: But you can hear the writers booing. I watched it
Speaker 2: because it said listen to Noram McDonald's SML monologue, and
Speaker 2: the writers are booing because he pretty much says it's
Speaker 2: a terrible show.
Speaker 1: Wow, it's the only thing that could have happened. But
Speaker 1: he gets to it in a way that you can't deny.
Speaker 1: It's like he hasn't changed in a year and a half.
Speaker 2: Why is this guy that was fired for not being
Speaker 2: funny suddenly left back on The only logical answer is
Speaker 2: is that the bar has been lowered. It's so good
Speaker 2: and you can't hate him for it because he's just
Speaker 2: so damn lovable. All Right, We've got a lot of
Speaker 2: show ahead of us. We're here with Brian, Noah and
Speaker 2: Anya will be back right after this. We're back. I
Speaker 2: got to say this weekend met a lot of besties
Speaker 2: and haven't had this kind of response to something new
Speaker 2: on the podcast in a while.
Speaker 1: But people are on board with Brian Frangie.
Speaker 2: They excited. I got a lot of side comments. I'm
Speaker 2: just like, I'm a bestie. We hug and everything, and
Speaker 2: then we're while we're taking a picture, They're just like,
Speaker 2: I really love Ryan, you know, like through their smile.
Speaker 2: It's so good. Ryan's the heart of the show. So
Speaker 2: they are fucking on board, dude. And I'm not lying.
Speaker 2: It was at least two to I would say three
Speaker 2: people probably.
Speaker 4: That's how many people I venmo to do that.
Speaker 1: Well, it was good.
Speaker 2: It was well well spent because it made me feel like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I made the right choice. I'm taking all credit for
Speaker 2: people liking you. It's no, it was. It was an
Speaker 2: easy choice to make because, yeah, I was just thinking
Speaker 2: about you doing your little game of like give them
Speaker 2: a story or whatever that game was called on the
Speaker 2: street in New York. I once, I think our friendship
Speaker 2: re uped because I ran into you on Eighth Avenue
Speaker 2: after I was either on my way to get froyo
Speaker 2: during my froyo addiction of two thousand and I'll say fourteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was many.
Speaker 4: Years, it is. I was so fascinating that you remember that.
Speaker 2: Thirteen handles, thirteen handles. Yeah, talking about New York like
Speaker 2: ten years sixteen handles, thank you. Ten years ago in
Speaker 2: New York on the street. We were on eighth Avenue.
Speaker 2: You were walking south. I was on yours.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was.
Speaker 2: Living with Anya. So I was like, you know, I'm
Speaker 2: headed back to my apartment. I'm daancing because I was
Speaker 2: coming up from seventeenth was walking.
Speaker 4: Back from UCB. So that UCB was at twenty sixth Street.
Speaker 1: So you were walking downtown.
Speaker 2: I was walking up and then you were with a
Speaker 2: girl that you were dating at the time.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, yeah, oh my god, Now I remember this,
Speaker 5: this is you. Remember Now I'm questioning my choice.
Speaker 4: I ran into you twice then, because there was one
Speaker 4: time I was leaving UCB and it was on my
Speaker 4: twenty sixth Street and I was like.
Speaker 1: Oh my god on UCB. Yes, yes, and I think
Speaker 1: they're just us.
Speaker 4: The fact that we ran into each other previously and
Speaker 4: you asked me about this girl.
Speaker 2: Oh that's it. And then we walked for a little
Speaker 2: bit together.
Speaker 4: No, yeah, wow, yeah, I think so. I think so too.
Speaker 2: And that was that was before I even got the
Speaker 2: show Not Safe, which then I hired Brian my boyfriend
Speaker 2: and I hired Brian. I told my boyfriend about Brian.
Speaker 2: I was like, I think we got a guy to
Speaker 2: do our digital stuff. He's run Amy Schumer's website until
Speaker 2: she was doing train Wreck because and then he quit
Speaker 2: out of just like you know, realizing his here. And
Speaker 2: so Chris had one call with you and was like,
Speaker 2: I love this guy. And he's not someone who I
Speaker 2: I often have to be kind of careful about, like
Speaker 2: you're gonna love this person. He's kind of like, let
Speaker 2: me decide, you know what I mean, Like he doesn't
Speaker 2: want to be told who he's gonna like, which I
Speaker 2: totally get because I will say that when Chris Convey
Speaker 2: and I first met the night before we met, my
Speaker 2: friend who hired Chris and who also was my showrunner,
Speaker 2: was like, you're really gonna like this Chris guy. I
Speaker 2: think there's gonna be a thing with you too. And
Speaker 2: I was like, don't you tell me who I'm going
Speaker 2: to like. I don't like a setup. I don't like expectations.
Speaker 2: I don't like anyone like kind of watching me meet
Speaker 2: someone and being like.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And so I at first was very reluctant to give
Speaker 2: him a chance because I didn't want Kim Gamble to
Speaker 2: win and to like be like I told you so
Speaker 2: and take credit for my crush.
Speaker 1: But and then cut to two months later, crying in
Speaker 1: her office. I love him. He doesn't talk to me.
Speaker 2: She's like, you don't talk to him? Okay, So Brian,
Speaker 2: we then you flew out to La and you did
Speaker 2: you move to La?
Speaker 4: It was a great text. I was, well. I also
Speaker 4: remember when I first started talking to Chris on the phone.
Speaker 4: He called me and I was in the supermarket buying
Speaker 4: bread and meats for a barbecue, and I was talking
Speaker 4: to him while I was like, listen, this is like,
Speaker 4: you know, in my perspective, this is not Chris Convey.
Speaker 4: This is a potential boss calling you to interview you.
Speaker 4: And so I had to pick up. I picked up
Speaker 4: and I was like, hello, I'd love to talk about
Speaker 4: I'm buying bread and meats and I'm about to go
Speaker 4: to a barbecue. And then he loved this. He's like okay.
Speaker 4: It was like should I keep you on the phone
Speaker 4: or should I call you back? And he said keep
Speaker 4: me on the phone.
Speaker 1: And then there was the friendship that was set in stone, like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he he probably loved your honesty and he likes
Speaker 2: a little He likes a trip to the store.
Speaker 1: Yeah, get trip to the store through the phone.
Speaker 3: Anyway, who meets you? Got to be friends?
Speaker 4: It was multiple meats, But I'm A text I got
Speaker 4: from you was one of the best texts of my life.
Speaker 1: What did it say?
Speaker 4: I remember this. I was also walking to the store,
Speaker 4: like not, I was walking the Whole Foods on uhl
Speaker 4: foods on your Oh my god, I have to say
Speaker 4: something about Arawan. I'm sure you have lots of opinions
Speaker 4: about arawuon.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we've talked about Arawon.
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, But but first the text. I was walking
Speaker 4: the Whole Foods and I just got a text and
Speaker 4: it said it was from you, and it'd be weird
Speaker 4: for was it? It said, Brian? Would you will? It
Speaker 4: was an Ember alert, and I said, I got to
Speaker 4: get out of town. It was from you and it said, Brian,
Speaker 4: would you be willing to move to LA for a job?
Speaker 4: And I was like, of course I would? Are you
Speaker 4: kidding me? I also just had a recent series of
Speaker 4: calamities that made me really want to get out of
Speaker 4: New York. This is perfect.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what were those calamities? Do you have your list of.
Speaker 3: It didn't work out with a girl on Eighth Avenue.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yep, we did break up and I had to
Speaker 4: move back. I didn't have to. I prefer to move
Speaker 4: back to Long Island and live with my dad. But oh,
Speaker 4: it's well, first, I love. Yeah, it's too long of
Speaker 4: a story, but I I. The first thing that happened
Speaker 4: was I was out. I was going out for a job.
Speaker 4: I was. I was very far along in the process
Speaker 4: of being a writer for the Daily Show. And then
Speaker 4: one of my arch nemesis is it was between me
Speaker 4: and another person. And this is also a blind packet submission.
Speaker 4: So I got really far in the process and they
Speaker 4: told me in the interview I was down. It was
Speaker 4: down to you and one of the person. And then
Speaker 4: I didn't get it. My arch nemesis did, and I was, oh, my.
Speaker 2: God, I'm dying to know who this arch nemesis was. Well,
Speaker 2: I was still around. Are you still kicking around?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 4: They've had a fall from Grace that was greater than Hitler.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: I was devastated. And then long story short, I was robbed.
Speaker 4: I got into a car accident. I broke my wrist
Speaker 4: all in like the same day, and uh, then you
Speaker 4: texted me day but I did a very long story.
Speaker 2: You robbed, a car accident, broke wrist. Were any of
Speaker 2: those connected?
Speaker 4: Well? I was playing football in Brooklyn. I had a
Speaker 4: Zog sports football team.
Speaker 2: And a group I almost joined one for soccer once. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it's just like a meet up group kind of thing
Speaker 2: for sports.
Speaker 4: And now Zog is an anti Semitic slur, but oh geez, yeah,
Speaker 4: or is it zog? Yeah? Anyway, I was playing I
Speaker 4: was playing football, and your list is that is that
Speaker 4: one of the anxiety of things on your list? Ong,
Speaker 4: I was, I had my car parked and I had
Speaker 4: it was Halloween weekend. I had slept over my friend's
Speaker 4: house who had a Halloween party, and so I had
Speaker 4: a bunch of shit in my car. I had a
Speaker 4: laptop in my car, a phone in my car, and
Speaker 4: I just I had to park the car out out
Speaker 4: in front of the football field because I had nowhere
Speaker 4: else to put it. And while I was playing football,
Speaker 4: someone threw a brick through my car window, shattering it
Speaker 4: and they stole five thousand dollars worth of stuff, which
Speaker 4: is a great which is grand larceny. And I, uh,
Speaker 4: when we got back to the car. I called the
Speaker 4: police and like, it's it's so fast.
Speaker 1: As supposed to larseny. They're like, this is grass like.
Speaker 4: Grand they said that's yeah.
Speaker 1: They said that, uh that is interesting.
Speaker 2: Okay, grand larceny, yeah, which what does that mean to you?
Speaker 2: That just means that if you catch the criminal, that's
Speaker 2: a bigger.
Speaker 4: But bigger offense because they stole over five.
Speaker 5: It just you get to brag that you were grand. Yes,
Speaker 5: it's a better crime to brag a bag.
Speaker 1: Ye, yes, yes, okay, So you broke your wrist while playing.
Speaker 4: Well, so I didn't even know my wrist hurt a
Speaker 4: little bit, but they they broke into the car. I
Speaker 4: called the police, and the police like, do not give
Speaker 4: a shit about robbery. They will not come out. They
Speaker 4: don't care. But I told them I had a tracking
Speaker 4: device on my phone that on my phone, and so
Speaker 4: I used my friend's phone. I had find my iPhone
Speaker 4: and I said, I know where they are. I literally
Speaker 4: have their location, the person who robbed me. I have
Speaker 4: their location. And then they said okay, okay, fine, and
Speaker 4: they they took me into the squad car and they
Speaker 4: drove me away. And while they drove me away, my
Speaker 4: friends were sitting with my car with the broken window,
Speaker 4: and I had placed my my gym bag with my
Speaker 4: iPod Mini and my clothes next to the car, and
Speaker 4: we drove off in pursuit of this criminal and we
Speaker 4: got to his literal apartment building. We knew the apartment
Speaker 4: building he was in, and the police were like, there
Speaker 4: are known purps in that building, and so I was like, well,
Speaker 4: this plays a purp, and so we went in there.
Speaker 4: They knocked on one person's door and they said did
Speaker 4: did someone just come in here with a bag? And
Speaker 4: they said no. And then the police were like, well,
Speaker 4: that's it. We can't do anything more for you. I'm like,
Speaker 4: he's literally in this fucking building with five thousand dollars
Speaker 4: worth of stuff. So they said, we can't help you.
Speaker 4: They drive me back to my jeep, while not my geep,
Speaker 4: my car.
Speaker 1: While I was gone, well.
Speaker 4: While I was gone, a totally separate person came and
Speaker 4: stole my gym bagh your car with my two friends
Speaker 4: next to the car, and I said, I got to
Speaker 4: go with the cops. I was distress. It was on
Speaker 4: the ground. Oh my god. Okay, well they that's another thing.
Speaker 4: They went. They sat in the car to wait, and
Speaker 4: they didn't realize the gym bags out there. Some guy
Speaker 4: pulled up and just stole the gym bag. It's all
Speaker 4: wrong in the same.
Speaker 2: Fucking day and broke your wrist and not knowing, And
Speaker 2: then I'm guessing your wrist pain might have been psychological,
Speaker 2: if we're getting back to that risk.
Speaker 4: And then I I was like, you know what, my
Speaker 4: wrist hurts a lot. And so the next day or
Speaker 4: a couple of days later, I have my dad drive
Speaker 4: me to the doctor. They do an x ray and
Speaker 4: my wrist. My wrist is broken from what I dove
Speaker 4: for an interception and landed. Yeah, I dove for an interception.
Speaker 4: I didn't intercept it. Nothing good happened.
Speaker 2: We were to make friends at this, Like you do
Speaker 2: a lot of things to make friends. Were you trying
Speaker 2: to make friends with zog.
Speaker 5: Sports back in the back? In my not judging it
Speaker 5: back then, I was not trying to make friends. You're
Speaker 5: just trying to have some fun.
Speaker 4: I had a couple of friends. I had two friends.
Speaker 1: Uh was telling me about a time in his life
Speaker 1: in la where he had no friends.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Like this was.
Speaker 1: Like no, because I had left town, like me Chris
Speaker 1: and Tim had all moved away, and he had no friends,
Speaker 1: and he was just going to like lantern lightings.
Speaker 4: I was so desperate for friends.
Speaker 1: Like an Echo park, Like there's like Chinese lantern lightings
Speaker 1: so much that's adorable.
Speaker 4: Well, just to finish the story, yeah, sorry, sorry, So
Speaker 4: they said we got to send you for an X ray.
Speaker 4: I had my car back, although the window was broken.
Speaker 4: I did that thing that you know poor people do
Speaker 4: when they duct tape a piece of plastic over the window.
Speaker 4: While I'm driving to get my wrist X ray, somebody
Speaker 4: rear ends me. Oh, somebody rear ends me.
Speaker 1: This is all within a couple of days.
Speaker 4: This is all within less than a week from each other.
Speaker 4: And someone rear ends me. And then it's one of
Speaker 4: those guys who rear ends you and then immediately gets
Speaker 4: out of the car, and it's like, what the hell's happening?
Speaker 4: He gets out of the car.
Speaker 1: You, yeah, he's mad at the situation.
Speaker 2: Break Oh god, it was on Sunrin insurance. You've got
Speaker 2: a fucking trash bag.
Speaker 3: And he gets broken wrist.
Speaker 4: You're like, you're already one of those people who is
Speaker 4: in despair. And he gets out of the car and
Speaker 4: he goes, this is my mom's car. You gotta help
Speaker 4: me out. You can't. Please? Can we not call the police? Please?
Speaker 4: He starts doing that they where he like rubs the
Speaker 4: spot on the car that he hit. He's like, it's okay,
Speaker 4: it's okay. And I was like, you know what, it's fine.
Speaker 4: I don't, I can't. I just let it go. I
Speaker 4: get to the doctor and I realized that I really
Speaker 4: did get injured in that car accident. I have like
Speaker 4: my my back hurts, but it didn't last very long,
Speaker 4: so it was totally fine. That guy was fine.
Speaker 1: And then you get a text for me how much
Speaker 1: sooner after.
Speaker 4: Like four or five days.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's great, amazing.
Speaker 4: Four or five days.
Speaker 1: I was a little premature on asking you if you'd moved.
Speaker 1: Text is important? Why is it important?
Speaker 3: What you mean?
Speaker 1: Is that text important to you?
Speaker 3: Brian?
Speaker 4: Oh? Well, it was my first job. It was my
Speaker 4: first ever job in the industry. I didn't work for
Speaker 4: anybody before that. I got I got close to the
Speaker 4: Daily Show, I didn't get it. And then other than that,
Speaker 4: I was just a piece of shit.
Speaker 1: No, And that's why that's why he gets the job.
Speaker 2: That's why I thought to give him the job not
Speaker 2: only because he's talented, but because he's a nice person.
Speaker 2: And I think that's what, like, you know, talent can
Speaker 2: take you so far, but like it, I don't know,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't. I wouldn't have hired someone who I thought
Speaker 2: was more talented than Brian if they were more of
Speaker 2: an ass, Like.
Speaker 1: He's just a good, good guy.
Speaker 3: So had you guys done any work together or were
Speaker 3: you just friendly?
Speaker 1: What did you done? Had you done anything website?
Speaker 4: Was I was the host for you? Uh multiple times
Speaker 4: at the Comedy Addict, right, Okay, I think it was
Speaker 4: your first if I'm not mistaken. Is that where your
Speaker 4: first headlining gig?
Speaker 1: Yeah it was.
Speaker 4: I hosted your first ever headlining and you had like
Speaker 4: a special like memory of like, oh, well you were
Speaker 4: the first person.
Speaker 2: Yeah you were so nice and we hung out there
Speaker 2: backstage and stuff. Yeah you were just a Yeah, you
Speaker 2: were so And I think it was this show that
Speaker 2: we were doing because it was like Chris and I
Speaker 2: and then we had we were just trying to fill
Speaker 2: it with our friends, you know, like that's you have
Speaker 2: these opportunities you just want to give and you know,
Speaker 2: I remember hearing that story of your life and being like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is so exciting to give someone who's so down
Speaker 2: and out like a cool thing that other aside from
Speaker 2: someone who's not going to appreciate it, Like you just
Speaker 2: want people to appreciate things.
Speaker 1: Then you moved to l a given lest we.
Speaker 4: Left, and then you abandoned.
Speaker 1: To these events.
Speaker 2: Where did you find events to go to to make friends?
Speaker 2: Because I think we have a lot of listeners. Who
Speaker 2: would you know? And even me, I've moved to new
Speaker 2: towns and sometimes you just don't have friends. How do
Speaker 2: you make friends?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean when you were alone in a new town,
Speaker 4: it's it's sheer desperation, which is looking back on it now,
Speaker 4: I was like so stupid. All I had to do
Speaker 4: was just go to open mics, you know, go to
Speaker 4: the improv and I would have made I would have
Speaker 4: made some friends. But it was just so disheartening for
Speaker 4: me to start over on the open mic scene after
Speaker 4: doing New York for whatever.
Speaker 2: If you could, you would scene. There's no way you
Speaker 2: were going to do that. It just wasn't the right
Speaker 2: thing for you at the time. It would have been
Speaker 2: demoralizing in a different way than going to a lantern lighting.
Speaker 4: Yes, so I went on different apps. There's like there
Speaker 4: was a bunch of different apps. There was meet up groups,
Speaker 4: and I would just look at like the events of
Speaker 4: the city and be like, maybe I'll meet someone. Literally,
Speaker 4: I went to like a Chinese lantern lighting thing hard exhibit,
Speaker 4: and I go there and I'm like, I wonder if
Speaker 4: I'll talk to anybody while I'm here, and I'm just
Speaker 4: looking at like beautiful.
Speaker 1: I had one friend who did it? Can you say that?
Speaker 1: Can you say?
Speaker 5: Was there one person rat friend?
Speaker 4: I had my rat friend to me the other day
Speaker 4: at breakfast.
Speaker 1: He was like, and I had one rat friend talking about.
Speaker 3: An actual rat?
Speaker 4: No? No, no, no, well that would be better actually
Speaker 4: animal figurative rat. He's not really a rat he was.
Speaker 4: I just like calling him a rat fan, because.
Speaker 2: Like each other is what my point was, Like each other,
Speaker 2: You just it was out of necessity.
Speaker 4: To friendship, of convenience.
Speaker 1: And did he have a rat? Is am I like
Speaker 1: remembering that wrong? Did he have a pet rat or something? No?
Speaker 4: No, he's just he just was a little weasely.
Speaker 2: And you you have been you would like not actively
Speaker 2: not want to hang out with this person, but then
Speaker 2: you would just would because.
Speaker 4: When you're so lonely, you have no options, And yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean it's either that. And then I joined a
Speaker 4: dodgeball league and I would just go. Nobody at the
Speaker 4: dodgeball league wanted to be friends with me because I
Speaker 4: wasn't uh dedicated enough to the craft of fucking the balls.
Speaker 4: And I got pelted like crazy. I hurt my arm.
Speaker 4: People would hit me in the face, they laugh at me,
Speaker 4: they'd point, they go because people in La they are
Speaker 4: obsessed with dodgeball. It's like pickleball. Now in Florida, It's yeah, no,
Speaker 4: they are. They are intense. They can throw the ball
Speaker 4: like fifty miles an hour. And I would just get
Speaker 4: the crap beaten out of me and then we'd get
Speaker 4: go get drinks after.
Speaker 2: Pilly admire you for just going to these things solo.
Speaker 1: It takes a lot.
Speaker 3: Of hard to make friends in adulthood, bravery to just
Speaker 3: go to stuff alone.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of stuff I've gone to alone.
Speaker 2: I know I've done it before. I'm not Taylor Swift parties,
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Taylor Swift stuff, even the Taylor Swift concert.
Speaker 2: I mean I was meeting a busty there. But yeah,
Speaker 2: and I'm going alone actually this Saturday, and in Houston,
Speaker 2: I'm going one hundred percent alone.
Speaker 1: But that's that.
Speaker 2: I guess that's a similar thing, even though I'm going
Speaker 2: to be entertained the whole time, so I don't really
Speaker 2: have to talk to anyone. So it's like that fear
Speaker 2: of oh, no one's good, but.
Speaker 4: Great for you. You're gonna have a cathartic experience that
Speaker 4: would be much greater than if you're with someone else
Speaker 4: you could do it with. You could have no qualms
Speaker 4: about going nuts.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4: I do.
Speaker 1: I wonder how it'll be.
Speaker 2: And then the next night I go with my mom
Speaker 2: and we're front row, and so that's going to be
Speaker 2: extremely special. And so I'm very excited about this weekend.
Speaker 2: And we're also I'm flying to La tomorrow. I'm filming
Speaker 2: a couple game shows, including Family Feud, and my family
Speaker 2: is all coming out. And today we're going to a
Speaker 2: fitting because we don't No one knows what to wear,
Speaker 2: And of course I got a stylist for myself and
Speaker 2: ask them, do you want a stylist? No, no, no,
Speaker 2: And then two days before it's happening, they're like.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to wear. Nikki like, this isn't fair.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was exactly like that, but it's like
Speaker 2: there's panic mode now, and so I go, okay, And
Speaker 2: so we're all going to a fitting later today.
Speaker 1: Are you left to say which family? Which family? My family?
Speaker 4: I know?
Speaker 1: But like, is everyone like Lauren and Matt?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so so my mom, my dad and Lauren
Speaker 2: and Matt are all going to be on it. I
Speaker 2: just post a picture of his family at the taping,
Speaker 2: so I'm like, yeah, then I'm allowed to say that
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tape this, yes, Steve Harvey. And then we're
Speaker 2: playing against another family, and I won't say who that is,
Speaker 2: but it's a famous guy from a band where their
Speaker 2: tongues are out all the time.
Speaker 1: Okay, so that'll be maybe. So you don't know that
Speaker 1: a lot of bands do that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I bet the Killers one time were like
Speaker 2: ah but yeah, so Anya, back to your anxieties. You
Speaker 2: went through this list and then I made Matt say
Speaker 2: all of his anxieties and that I said all of mine,
Speaker 2: and I do feel like we got somewhere through it.
Speaker 2: And then we played a question game where I was
Speaker 2: just asking questions about I just pulled up like deep
Speaker 2: questions to get to know each other, and we just
Speaker 2: all were answering questions.
Speaker 3: Was so fun.
Speaker 2: It was so fun, and Anya was like, how did
Speaker 2: you even come up with that? I'm like, I just go,
Speaker 2: just go questions if you're ever bored and you want
Speaker 2: to get to know people, because people don't like to
Speaker 2: talk about real stuff, but if you're prompted with a question,
Speaker 2: you kind of get into some some real stuff.
Speaker 3: I was wondering if you were asking the thirty three
Speaker 3: questions that the New York Times was asking, or saying,
Speaker 3: will help you fall in love?
Speaker 1: Right or no idea? I was kind of looking for
Speaker 1: that at first, but I forgot the number.
Speaker 2: I knew it was like a specific number of questions. So, yeah,
Speaker 2: there's thirty three questions. I guess that you should ask
Speaker 2: your partner and then you stare deeply into each other's
Speaker 2: eyes for like four uninterrupted minutes, and then you're supposed
Speaker 2: to definitely fall in love with them. But did you
Speaker 2: learn anything about Matt or about yourself during that question game?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I definitely. I was like shocked multiple times with
Speaker 3: the stuff he was telling you, But as always, I
Speaker 3: black out and I can't remember what it was now
Speaker 3: that you ask, I know we were.
Speaker 2: I mean, it was a long day and then we
Speaker 2: had two shows that night. And I will say I
Speaker 2: was gifted by one of our besties with the Taylor
Speaker 2: Swift Midnight's album that as.
Speaker 1: A signed.
Speaker 2: Uh picture of her inside of it. It's my favorite Wait,
Speaker 2: well that's not it. It's my favorite picture of her.
Speaker 2: I know she this this Midnight stuff has done the
Speaker 2: best of any of her art stuff, but it's a
Speaker 2: picture of her on the couch that I'm obsessed with,
Speaker 2: and she signed it smell it.
Speaker 1: And but it was this really nice fan.
Speaker 2: I forget his name right now, but I've tagged him
Speaker 2: on the photos on Instagram that I put this up on.
Speaker 2: But he he and his I guess, I think his boyfriend.
Speaker 2: Maybe his friend came up and were like and I
Speaker 2: saw them holding this Midnight's album and they go, do
Speaker 2: you have And I go no, and they go Taylor
Speaker 2: Swift's autograph And my answer is, yes, I do have
Speaker 2: Taylor's autograph, but I said no, and they go and
Speaker 2: they thought I was saying no to her autograph, but
Speaker 2: I met, like, I don't have this album, so I
Speaker 2: said no, I don't and they go, well, now you do,
Speaker 2: and so I just want to say to that fan,
Speaker 2: I did lie to you unintentionally. I do have her autograph,
Speaker 2: but I don't have this album, and I certainly don't
Speaker 2: have her autograph this big, and I don't have it
Speaker 2: on my favorite picture of her ever. All I have
Speaker 2: it on is a bunch of Folklore CDs, and those
Speaker 2: are kind of a diamond dozen because she did so
Speaker 2: many of them. Even though I'm grateful for everyone who's
Speaker 2: given me one of those, but this is a very
Speaker 2: special gift. And I was also given a friendship bracelet
Speaker 2: that's a good Girl on it because of the Good
Speaker 2: Girl tour. I was given a collage with a really
Speaker 2: nice message on the back. I was given a card.
Speaker 2: It was such nice gifts, one slightly better than the rest,
Speaker 2: but you know, I know they were I appreciate any
Speaker 2: little trinket, any little card, any thing.
Speaker 3: They were so nice. I met them, those.
Speaker 1: Guys, Yeah, they were so cute.
Speaker 3: And there were so many cute tours that came to
Speaker 3: the Merch Withootoo there, like asking me how to get
Speaker 3: out of their own way and become better songwriters and
Speaker 3: how to succeed in music and I was just like,
Speaker 3: I don't.
Speaker 1: I think you just have.
Speaker 3: To write songs that you love to hear, and then
Speaker 3: you just have to be a nice person and get
Speaker 3: out in the world and like make relationships. Like you
Speaker 3: guys are talking about it's so underrated to just like
Speaker 3: pick up the phone when you're buying meats and be
Speaker 3: nice to someone that you've been nice, like hang out
Speaker 3: hung out with in the past, and like say yes
Speaker 3: to this.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: I like that thing of writing songs that you want
Speaker 2: to hear or that some I read somewhere that's some
Speaker 2: art is best when you think about what is not
Speaker 2: in the world that I want to consume, What what
Speaker 2: is something I need right now that hasn't been done?
Speaker 1: How can I make that?
Speaker 2: That's a great place to start, no matter what you're
Speaker 2: you're doing. And I listen to you know who Rick
Speaker 2: Ross is? Rick Rubin, not Rick Ross, Sorry, but yes,
Speaker 2: Rick Ross is and also a music producer. But Rick Rubin,
Speaker 2: I always get them confused. I wonder why and Rick Rubin.
Speaker 1: Legendary music producer, but he's kind of he doesn't you know.
Speaker 1: All these videos are going around, like viral videos of
Speaker 1: him saying like I don't play musical instrument.
Speaker 2: I don't know how to work a soundboard. I just
Speaker 2: know I have taste, and artist trust me based on
Speaker 2: my taste of what I like and what I don't like.
Speaker 2: And he's not even a snob about his taste. I
Speaker 2: kind of felt bad after listening to this interview with
Speaker 2: him because she was asking about, like, does he have
Speaker 2: better taste than other people? He's like, no, I don't
Speaker 2: have better that. You can't you can't be You can't
Speaker 2: say that a Rihanna album is better than a Beyonce album.
Speaker 2: You can't compare the two. Rihanna is making a Rihanna
Speaker 2: album and Beyonce is making a Beyonce album. Is Beyonce
Speaker 2: making a better Rihanna album than Rihanna could make? No,
Speaker 2: she's making a better It's apples to oranges. The idea
Speaker 2: of any album being better than another one is ridiculous
Speaker 2: because that artist couldn't have made that Rihanna album because
Speaker 2: they're not Rihanna, so it's not even there. You wouldn't
Speaker 2: want them to make a Rihanna album because it wouldn't
Speaker 2: sound like them. And I liked it too, And I'm
Speaker 2: not completely paraphrasing it right so the podcast is called
Speaker 2: Honestly with Barry Weiss w E I S. S.
Speaker 1: Barry b A R. I. If you want to listen
Speaker 1: to the Rick Rubin because it's all about creativity. It
Speaker 1: was just the way he speaks is so soothing too.
Speaker 2: I mean, he has a great voice and he's just chill,
Speaker 2: and I like the way he looks at creativity as
Speaker 2: something that you can tap into. And he said, you know,
Speaker 2: the best way to tap into it is to clear
Speaker 2: the thoughts, and the best way to clear your thoughts
Speaker 2: is meditation, like get closer to your real self. And
Speaker 2: it goes back to it harkens back to the thing
Speaker 2: I was talking about.
Speaker 1: I probably talked.
Speaker 2: About before the podcast because I talk about it all
Speaker 2: the time because I'm learning it. My voice lessons is
Speaker 2: like I'm He's always like, you're trying to sound like
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift and I can't help it, Like I've just
Speaker 2: I've only heard Taylor Swift sing these songs that I'm
Speaker 2: trying to sing. I don't know another way to sing them.
Speaker 2: It doesn't even make sense for me to sing them
Speaker 2: in a different way. I don't know. I'm just following
Speaker 2: what I know. And he's like, well, that's what it
Speaker 2: would be good for you to cover a song that
Speaker 2: you've never heard before, which I wouldn't want to do
Speaker 2: that though, because I don't want I to cover songs
Speaker 2: because I like the song already right, like, so it's
Speaker 2: really hard to figure out how to sing it best
Speaker 2: for me, And then that's going to be the best
Speaker 2: not to sound exactly like Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1: And I think I've.
Speaker 2: Always known that, you know, like mimicking an artist is
Speaker 2: not going to be the right way to go, but
Speaker 2: I never I guess let it in that I could
Speaker 2: be the only way to get good, because close to
Speaker 2: good is Taylor Swift. Is not to ever sound like her.
Speaker 2: It's to sound like the best version of me, which
Speaker 2: might be a completely different voice, completely different skill set,
Speaker 2: but whatever gets my soul to come out, whether it's
Speaker 2: like garbled and like sounds terrible, sounds like you know,
Speaker 2: a lawn mower going over some rocks, Like if that's
Speaker 2: what's truly my soul and conveys the meaning behind the
Speaker 2: feel the feeling that I'm trying to give you, and
Speaker 2: you get that feeling from the song, then I've done
Speaker 2: the job. So like your voice is just a tool
Speaker 2: to get the feeling through. It doesn't matter if it
Speaker 2: sounds pitch perfect or not, because we can all think
Speaker 2: of Because she was talking, she goes, what's the difference
Speaker 2: between a wedding singer who has the great greatest trained
Speaker 2: vote like musically trained voice, like knows all how to
Speaker 2: do every kind of sound, and the difference between someone
Speaker 2: who and Adele? And he's like, well, Adele is able
Speaker 2: to and sure there are wedding singers that are able
Speaker 2: to do this, but Adele is able to convey a
Speaker 2: feeling through her voice. And let's not even talk about Adele.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about anyone who you really like that doesn't
Speaker 2: have the greatest voice, perfection.
Speaker 1: Wise, and you like them and you don't know why.
Speaker 2: It's because they are able through their shitty voice to
Speaker 2: give you the feeling that this song is meant to convey,
Speaker 2: oh yeah, better than someone who could do it in
Speaker 2: a really perfect way. And it allows you when you
Speaker 2: hear that, it allows you to like, Okay, well, let
Speaker 2: me like loosen up these rules I have for myself
Speaker 2: to sound perfect, because that's actually impeding the message I
Speaker 2: want to to convey.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think it's like Bob Dylan. I mean
Speaker 4: Bob Dylan sounds like you know is He's like screeching
Speaker 4: through a vent and yeah, somebody.
Speaker 1: It's always AM radio. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was listening to a band over the weekend on
Speaker 3: the radio and I was like, what is this? Like
Speaker 3: it's it was this. I'm not going to say who
Speaker 3: they are, but they're very big right now. Maybe you
Speaker 3: won't know them, but I mentioned them to Matt and
Speaker 3: he was like, these guys are like in the top
Speaker 3: ten of Americano music or some I'll find out. I
Speaker 3: forgot but anyway, her I was like, is this from
Speaker 3: nineteen thirty five? Like her voice was like ah, and
Speaker 3: I was just like hating it. But I listened to
Speaker 3: the whole song and then I was like, I get it.
Speaker 3: She's really conveying a feeling. I don't want to listen
Speaker 3: to her this voice necessarily, but I'm getting this story.
Speaker 1: Yes, you got the feeling. You don't need that feeling
Speaker 1: in your life. I think we're drawn to things because
Speaker 1: we either that feeling resonates with us or we're void
Speaker 1: of that feeling and we need to feel it.
Speaker 2: And it needs So you just weren't. You weren't in
Speaker 2: the mood for that. There are some people's voices yeah
Speaker 2: that really aren't for me. And maybe that's because they're
Speaker 2: not doing a good job of achieving delivering the feeling.
Speaker 3: Or maybe it's a formula.
Speaker 7: Maybe what Anya was sensing is that because this song
Speaker 7: is in the top ten or whatever, it is just
Speaker 7: following a formula and it goes against what Anya was
Speaker 7: saying previously about staying true to her own voice, what
Speaker 7: reck Rubin was saying, what Nikki, you have said about
Speaker 7: your own comedy performance and being authentic on stage. It's
Speaker 7: like when you're not author and with what you were saying, Nikki,
Speaker 7: like that is creativity when you can just be so
Speaker 7: authentic and not care about outside influence and you put
Speaker 7: that into the world and people receive it.
Speaker 2: Not giving people what you think they want because you
Speaker 2: can't you can't possibly predict. You think you can because
Speaker 2: you see what goes well on TikTok, you see what
Speaker 2: you admire, people that you like, and you go if
Speaker 2: I do that, I think that's why the mannerisms that
Speaker 2: are you know, poisoning female stand up comedy of this
Speaker 2: like kind of like these faces of like.
Speaker 1: What these little mugs after the joke.
Speaker 2: Those bug me not because they don't work or because
Speaker 2: they're not funny.
Speaker 1: They seem insincere to me.
Speaker 2: If we come back to anything that bugs me about
Speaker 2: stand up comedy, it's insincerity, and I think it's just
Speaker 2: performative and I don't like it because it's something that
Speaker 2: you had planned to do, which is not a problem.
Speaker 1: We all plan our.
Speaker 2: Sets, but it it comes from a place of I'm
Speaker 2: gonna do this thing because I've seen it work for
Speaker 2: other people, and that's what I don't like.
Speaker 1: And it's not that I don't like that they do it.
Speaker 1: I don't like when I do it, and I'm projecting
Speaker 1: onto them. So please don't write these people and say
Speaker 1: I'm talking shit about you, because you'll be able to
Speaker 1: start seeing this in every female comic, including myself. It's
Speaker 1: you won't sub sing, it's it's it's everywhere these mugs.
Speaker 1: After that they land their joke, then they.
Speaker 3: Go, oh yeah, why don't they look at it both
Speaker 3: to the side, like when Amy does it or did
Speaker 3: it or you know, continues to do it or whatever.
Speaker 3: It's funny, but it's not the punchline. And with a
Speaker 3: lot of these jokes I've seen the things you're talking about,
Speaker 3: that's the punchline. So they're like set up, set up,
Speaker 3: set up. This guy said this crazy thing to me,
Speaker 3: and then this mug and then it's like big laugh
Speaker 3: and then they move on to the next joke, whereas
Speaker 3: Amy would be like mug, hmm okay, and then she
Speaker 3: goes on to deliver the punchline or make it.
Speaker 2: You know, Amy's was a space for the audience to
Speaker 2: laugh where she didn't have to talk. It was giving
Speaker 2: her something to do for the laugh to come out,
Speaker 2: but still giving them something. So as they're laughing, she's
Speaker 2: making the face and you're right on you. I think
Speaker 2: that although a lot of these girls do have great
Speaker 2: punchlines and they are good comics, that's why it makes
Speaker 2: me mad.
Speaker 1: I'm like, you don't need this shit.
Speaker 2: You're adding these like tags, and I do stuff all
Speaker 2: the time that is so annoying in stand up and
Speaker 2: stuff that I've done that I could roll my eyes at.
Speaker 2: So these are probably younger comics, so I should be nicer.
Speaker 2: But I'm just calling out things that i'm noticing that
Speaker 2: annoy me, and I'm saying that I've done them before.
Speaker 2: Please don't come after these girls don't say Nicki Glazer's
Speaker 2: talking shit about you. I'm just calling out a thing
Speaker 2: I'm noticing. I've done it before too. We all make
Speaker 2: mistakes as artists. It is it's yeah, it's inherently not
Speaker 2: funny itself, and it's I get doing it. If you're
Speaker 2: doing crowd work, if someone says what their job is
Speaker 2: and it's something weird, and you need a beat to
Speaker 2: think about what you're gonna say next, because you need
Speaker 2: to crowd work, you need a little bit of thinking space.
Speaker 2: Generally a couple seconds a mug, A mug to the
Speaker 2: left and the right buys you that. But if you're
Speaker 2: if your actual act is that you should have a
Speaker 2: plan already for what to do, and you can use
Speaker 2: it once or twice.
Speaker 1: I don't mind it.
Speaker 2: But with every joke, I mean, I've saw a clip
Speaker 2: recently and I counted ten times that this little face
Speaker 2: was made and it's.
Speaker 3: Just creuch for sure. And maybe it's also a trend.
Speaker 3: And that's annoying to me when when when you see
Speaker 3: the trend throughout, like in music, when everybody's was for
Speaker 3: a while they're doing what is that called? I forgot
Speaker 3: the term for ah behad the queeze my baby voice,
Speaker 3: like weird baby voice, but like not enunciating like queisme.
Speaker 3: And then it stopped, like it's not as pervasive. And
Speaker 3: then I was listening to like an older Taylor Swift
Speaker 3: song from maybe like seven eight years ago, and she
Speaker 3: was doing a lot of this like cool melodic thing.
Speaker 3: Maybe it wasn't Taylor, but a lot of songs at
Speaker 3: the time seven eight years ago, we're doing like tons
Speaker 3: of like larpeggiated melodies. I'll think of examples and bring
Speaker 3: them in. But that doesn't happen as much anymore. So
Speaker 3: there are all these.
Speaker 2: Dramaturgically, it didn't work for you. What's the word that
Speaker 2: I Meanturgically it didn't work for you. Okay, well we
Speaker 2: will talk about more and uh after this, and we
Speaker 2: we're gonna do reddit dump I think our first time
Speaker 2: doing that with Brian and uh so stay here, we'll
Speaker 2: be right by, all right, So let's get to reddit
Speaker 2: dump before I forget.
Speaker 4: While you're looking up that reddit dump. One thing that
Speaker 4: men do in songs is they go, uh oh like.
Speaker 3: That, yes was the thing I was thinking of, Oh
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 4: To be done.
Speaker 2: Oh, there's also a trend where in pop songs there
Speaker 2: was this it sounds like a group of guys and
Speaker 2: an Alley going, hey, hey, that's even in a Taylor's
Speaker 2: recent Tailor Shows song. And I like that she used
Speaker 2: it because she's kind of like, I feel like she
Speaker 2: has to know that that's being overused, but she was like,
Speaker 2: let's throw it anyway.
Speaker 1: But yeah, if you start listening.
Speaker 2: There also is a YouTube video where I learned about that,
Speaker 2: where it's like, if you listen to every pop song
Speaker 2: from like twenty fifteen on.
Speaker 1: You hear hey, hey, I hate it's just like sounds
Speaker 1: like a group of guys walking down the street like
Speaker 1: in lockstep like Nazis.
Speaker 2: To me, it really yeah, it's not great. Okay, Reddit
Speaker 2: dump makes me sick.
Speaker 1: This is your redit dumb all right.
Speaker 2: So this one is actually apropos because I'm about to
Speaker 2: go do family Feud with my fan and we are
Speaker 2: trying to prepare for it, and I've been playing family
Speaker 2: Feud on my phone. I've been playing it with my parents.
Speaker 2: We're not good at it. But the key to being
Speaker 2: good at family Feud is not being good at the game.
Speaker 2: The show is a comedy show, so it's being funny
Speaker 2: saying funny answers, giving things for Steve Harvey to do
Speaker 2: this new female comic thing, which is look to the left,
Speaker 2: look to the right, look baffled like that is Steve
Speaker 2: Harvey's like, you know, number one move. And the funniest
Speaker 2: thing is when he's reacting to crazy answers. And this
Speaker 2: was one that I sent to my whole family to say,
Speaker 2: this is what I want out of you? Is this
Speaker 2: kind of random shit? So this isn't like the I
Speaker 2: don't know, the final round, you know, where they have
Speaker 2: to like, you know, answer very quickly. And this is
Speaker 2: what this guy said.
Speaker 7: Noah, hit it, man, I'm something a burglar would not
Speaker 7: want to see when he breaks into a house.
Speaker 1: Naked grandma, What speak grandma? It was the second answer.
Speaker 1: It was just like, uh, naked, What did you say?
Speaker 3: I didn't really say naked grandma?
Speaker 4: His face is yeah, na stretched it for that one.
Speaker 4: They give you naked grandma as occupant.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just naked grandma.
Speaker 2: And I said Matt, because Matt is the one in
Speaker 2: our family that can probably say the weirdest thing. My
Speaker 2: mom actually is going to do the lightning round or
Speaker 2: whatever it is. Because they tell you, like, who do
Speaker 2: you want to do that for your family? So it's
Speaker 2: gonna be lyrius, But that is That is the example
Speaker 2: I gave, Like I need you guys to be this
Speaker 2: random and this weird and this irreverent. Okay, let me
Speaker 2: look at a fun word one. Okay, Oh, this one
Speaker 2: I wanted to bring up because it was We've talked
Speaker 2: about it on the podcast recently. Okay, this is dating
Speaker 2: underscore advice is the subreddit? Is it too much to
Speaker 2: bake the guy's favorite dessert for the second date. I
Speaker 2: just had a very nice first date yesterday and we
Speaker 2: already and he already asked me if I was free
Speaker 2: to go out for dinner on Saturday. This girl is
Speaker 2: twenty nine. He's thirty one. He was really nice and
Speaker 2: sweet and a sweet guy. And he also insisted on
Speaker 2: paying for our drinks, even though I kept offering as well.
Speaker 2: Mistake then when he saw it was raining, to keep offering,
Speaker 2: just offer once and then stop it. Then, when he
Speaker 2: saw it was raining, he offered to walk to his
Speaker 2: place that was closed. He offered to walk to his
Speaker 2: place that was closed. We grabbed an umbrella and he
Speaker 2: walked me home. I am the kind of person that
Speaker 2: loves giving, and my main love languages are acts of
Speaker 2: service and gifting. That doesn't mean, wait, you can't say
Speaker 2: what your love language is the thing you like to do.
Speaker 2: And I do want to also show that I appreciate him,
Speaker 2: so I was thinking of baking him as favorite dessert
Speaker 2: and this girl's from Canada because it's fav ret dessert
Speaker 2: to give it to him on Saturday. I'm a bit scared, however,
Speaker 2: and unsure as I don't want to come off as
Speaker 2: too much any opinion opinions, thank you, and then oh oh.
Speaker 1: Let me just say that I am.
Speaker 2: I'm scrolling down to read the comments to be like,
Speaker 2: surely they told this woman, do not.
Speaker 1: Do this disaster bad idea. You had a good day.
Speaker 2: No gifts for the guy he can't yet, don't.
Speaker 1: Literally.
Speaker 2: I was just texting with Spade this morning because we
Speaker 2: had to do this Las Vegas interview when we were
Speaker 2: both on Katla and it was really funny, but we
Speaker 2: were talking about girls when they're like He's like, he
Speaker 2: was talking about girls saying like not getting back to
Speaker 2: him and being and just one girl wrote back like
Speaker 2: he's like, hey, you want to go to dinner night
Speaker 2: and she just wrote Coachella, and like we're talking and
Speaker 2: he has a joke that says, and by the way,
Speaker 2: Spade and I are going to be in Vegas next
Speaker 2: Saturday at the Venetian.
Speaker 1: But he said that he has a bit.
Speaker 2: That I've heard before, but I want him to do
Speaker 2: it again about how girls will say they're bad at texting,
Speaker 2: and then he gets around them and they're like, like
Speaker 2: the whole time they're they're like, I'm.
Speaker 1: Bad at texting. Sorry, they'll get back to you.
Speaker 2: And I was telling him about a friend I had
Speaker 2: who convinced herself that the sky was in a train
Speaker 2: accident and that maybe she needed to like me.
Speaker 1: I love it. So Anya went on a date with
Speaker 1: the guy.
Speaker 3: It went well, which makes it more embarrassing.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like Franzi's thing of like getting that
Speaker 2: the guy who got the job at the Daily Show.
Speaker 1: This person was really killing it at the time.
Speaker 2: They quite a fall from grace since then still killing
Speaker 2: it because like cancel culture is not real.
Speaker 3: End up getting nominated for an Oscar I think for something.
Speaker 2: So Anya has a polite kiss on the cheek with
Speaker 2: this guy like after the date. Then he heads off
Speaker 2: she goes back down to the subway. They don't really
Speaker 2: hear from each other. I think you probably send him
Speaker 2: an email afterwards, just saying like this was before getting
Speaker 2: to I do the book that changed everything for all
Speaker 2: of us. And so then a few days later, there
Speaker 2: was like an amtrak derailment, like I don't know, in
Speaker 2: Connecticut or something, and she had heard he was going
Speaker 2: to Connecticut.
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, he was filming there, and so she goes,
Speaker 1: I think I want to reach out to see like
Speaker 1: if he's okay, And I'm like, first of all, what
Speaker 1: are you gonna do if he's like pinned underneath the
Speaker 1: beverage cart, what are you going to do? First of all,
Speaker 1: thank god Audio reached out this girl I went on
Speaker 1: a date with five days ago. And then also Nikki.
Speaker 3: Go babe, you'll hear about it on the news.
Speaker 4: Definite.
Speaker 2: Yes, he's the type of famous that, yes, he would
Speaker 2: absolutely be.
Speaker 1: It would be like, oh my god, this guy was killed.
Speaker 3: I just could his face that he was never gonna
Speaker 3: text me again.
Speaker 2: Yes, So anyway, anyone, everyone in this comment section is like, dude,
Speaker 2: if a girl bakes me my favorite dessert on the
Speaker 2: second date, she's gonna be my girlfriend after that, because
Speaker 2: she's clearly the one for me.
Speaker 1: These fucking sad losers are.
Speaker 2: Just imagining this girlfriend there is Sorry to call them
Speaker 2: sad losers.
Speaker 1: I don't mean that.
Speaker 2: I just mean these guys don't know how they work psychologically.
Speaker 1: You are not or you're.
Speaker 2: Maybe uh the the female energy, which is not me
Speaker 2: calling you a simple loser. It's me saying like, you
Speaker 2: don't want a mess, you want a masculine energy woman,
Speaker 2: because a masculine energy woman is gonna get gift the
Speaker 2: shit out of you and you're gonna love it. But
Speaker 2: most men are not. But all these men think they
Speaker 2: would want that. That's the thing, Like you think that
Speaker 2: you would want this? Yeah, you're Because then Spade said
Speaker 2: the funniest thing I just got. I want to just
Speaker 2: read it because he goes, oh he was talking about
Speaker 2: I was. I told him the story about Anya with
Speaker 2: the train. I didn't say Anya, but I told him
Speaker 2: about the celebrity because it was like it was funny,
Speaker 2: and he was like, oh my god, her saying I'm
Speaker 2: worried about you. He goes any woman because he said
Speaker 2: an example of a guy in his life who also
Speaker 2: was like, I want to reach out to her, I'm
Speaker 2: worried about her, and he goes, that is gonna make
Speaker 2: her hate you so much more. There's nothing women hate
Speaker 2: more than being worried about It's just so funny that
Speaker 2: the only way to get a girl that Darnie doesn't
Speaker 2: like you, to get her like you less, is to
Speaker 2: say I'm worried about you and like what I care?
Speaker 3: And we're just like, ugh, yeah, I was gonna say,
Speaker 3: read about the AMPTPR draft.
Speaker 1: Heard about the Amtrak thing? Are you okay?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: Is it in your drafts? Is it in your drafts?
Speaker 3: She also is more embarrassing. He told me that he
Speaker 3: had a little daughter. He told me that his daughter
Speaker 3: was gluten free and had Celiac or some bullshit. And
Speaker 3: in our stupid date. During our date, I had told him, Oh,
Speaker 3: there's this really cool frozen yogurt. She was allergic to dairy.
Speaker 3: I'm like, there's a fruit frozen yogurt place in New York.
Speaker 3: It's in the Union Square. It's all fruit. And he
Speaker 3: was like, Oh, really, that's really cool. I'd love to
Speaker 3: take her there where he seemed a little interested after
Speaker 3: the am trip. The real name where he lived and
Speaker 3: I never wrote out to him. I was like, maybe
Speaker 3: he doesn't have my number, and I'm looking really cute
Speaker 3: today and I'm going to that place anyway. I spent
Speaker 3: twenty minutes taking selfies of me holding this fruit froio,
Speaker 3: and then I sent it to him and was like like,
Speaker 3: maybe even without Nikki is dying, right, okay?
Speaker 2: Like I honestly, I am disassociating. I literally stopped listening
Speaker 2: because I can't handle how embarrassing the system.
Speaker 3: We never rought me back. I sent the cutest selfie
Speaker 3: of me with this.
Speaker 4: Fruit cup and I was like, oh, was that before
Speaker 4: or after the train derailment?
Speaker 1: Oh? It was after because I talked her out of
Speaker 1: the train derailment. And I go, just wait and.
Speaker 4: Since, be honest, what if he was in the train
Speaker 4: derailment and he's dying and then he gets this picture
Speaker 4: of you with the frozen yogurt, just.
Speaker 1: Reminding him of the daughter he's leaving behind as he
Speaker 1: bleeds out, I've done this before to set like sexual
Speaker 1: self like just like cute selfies, like is that that?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 3: Remember the frozen yogurt?
Speaker 1: Your daughter?
Speaker 3: Here's my tit with that, here's me rubbing my nipple
Speaker 3: in this.
Speaker 2: I have never I mean, I hope to never have
Speaker 2: to do this kind of shit again, where it's just
Speaker 2: so desperate and sad. I mean I said something to
Speaker 2: Chris over the weekend that really he didn't write back to,
Speaker 2: and I was kind of like, what the fuck, Like
Speaker 2: I put effort into it. So we watched the show alone,
Speaker 2: you know, where people dropped in the wilderness and they
Speaker 2: have to like fend for themselves. And there was this
Speaker 2: one character that always would go hey bear every time
Speaker 2: I saw a bear, Hey bear, because that's what you're
Speaker 2: supposed to say to bears. I guess there's an a
Speaker 2: Pargazzi joke about it too, but he would always go,
Speaker 2: hey bear, Hey bear. His name's Colton. So I saw
Speaker 2: a bike, you know, like a bike rental thing, you know,
Speaker 2: like limescooters, but it was called hey bike, and so
Speaker 2: I took a picture of the bike, and I was like,
Speaker 2: and then I just put a picture of Colton next
Speaker 2: to the bike picture, and was obviously it's just like
Speaker 2: him going hey bike. And Chris never wrote back, and
Speaker 2: I was just so embarre. And then last night I go,
Speaker 2: why didn't you write back to that? And he was like,
Speaker 2: I didn't understand it. I looked at it for so long.
Speaker 2: I go, why is this mountain man next to a bike?
Speaker 2: Like maybe it's a mountain bike and he's a mountain man.
Speaker 2: I go, that's Colton from the show. And then he
Speaker 2: kept going like yeah, I just didn't get it. I go, well, now,
Speaker 2: will you acknowledge it now that it's very funny? And
Speaker 2: he's like, yes, it was very good. But I'm like,
Speaker 2: don't you ever let something like they're going good? Okay,
Speaker 2: So back to this comment girls are writing or another
Speaker 2: guy goes, if you did this for me, I'd want
Speaker 2: to marry you.
Speaker 7: Lmao.
Speaker 1: Yes, do it in parentheses.
Speaker 2: A guy like me would immediately fall ahead over heels
Speaker 2: for such a sweet thing. Another guy guy here, I
Speaker 2: would appreciate it and find this incredibly sweet. It would
Speaker 2: be weird if you brought like a random thing. But
Speaker 2: presumably his favorite came up in conversations, So this is love.
Speaker 1: I think these are all bots.
Speaker 4: These yes want to bang her exactly.
Speaker 1: These are lonely, horny men that are just like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, the way to my heart is through my stomach.
Speaker 1: Like this kind of bullshit.
Speaker 2: Now, let me just see what she wrote back because
Speaker 2: so she wrote back to one of these comments, and
Speaker 2: I want to share it with you. She had a
Speaker 2: little so she read all the comments, which I'm guessed
Speaker 2: these are just the top ones. Are people most in
Speaker 2: dating advice. It's very it's a positive flace on Reddit,
Speaker 2: and they're always kind of like lifting people up because
Speaker 2: it's so sad out there. So I think further beneath
Speaker 2: there have to be some negative comments that say don't
Speaker 2: do this. She goes, you guys are too kind. I
Speaker 2: just went through all the comments and the feelings are mixed. However,
Speaker 2: I guess that if it's not well received, he's not
Speaker 2: the right person.
Speaker 1: I just don't want to spook him out. Okay. Then
Speaker 1: someone said the right person doesn't run when spooked. She said,
Speaker 1: fair enough. So what do you think? Noah, I want
Speaker 1: to hear your thought on this, because you always have
Speaker 1: just such mindful and like you've memorized the getting too.
Speaker 1: I do book. You kind of know the rules, do
Speaker 1: you think? Because the girls will use this argument quite
Speaker 1: often and also to give advice to their friends, we
Speaker 1: all say like, well, if he doesn't like it, then
Speaker 1: he's not the right man for you. Where where do
Speaker 1: you land? On that, like, where do you land on
Speaker 1: not being who you truly are, which is to bake
Speaker 1: a guy a cake on the second date, just like
Speaker 1: Bliss did. She ended up getting second placed on the
Speaker 1: show Love is Blind, but now she's married to him,
Speaker 1: so it worked out for her in the end. After
Speaker 1: Irena turned out to be a Russian snake.
Speaker 3: No need to say Russian in there.
Speaker 2: Last time I said Russian stake. I wanted to say
Speaker 2: they had nothing to do with each other. I'm just
Speaker 2: saying she's Russian and a snake, a sleepy Russian snake. Okay,
Speaker 2: So where do you land Noah?
Speaker 7: Okay, I would tell her, do not bake anything until
Speaker 7: you guys are in a relationship. That's like commitment level.
Speaker 2: Well what if she's like, but I this is so
Speaker 2: who I am to bake a guy. I want a
Speaker 2: guy who is going to accept a cake on a
Speaker 2: first a second date. I want to be able to
Speaker 2: bake a guy who I had a great connection with. Okay, well,
Speaker 2: favorite thing. Here's that's who I am. Here's what I
Speaker 2: think about dating and what I hope. Well, because you're
Speaker 2: just saying what you think, you're in your I'm being
Speaker 2: in my masculine right now, And I hope.
Speaker 1: He's not anywhere in the room because you should be
Speaker 1: talking from I feel if he's overhearing this.
Speaker 7: Okay, I hope this is helpful when you're going out
Speaker 7: on dates. Think of it as like collecting information. You're
Speaker 7: collecting information about this person so that you can make
Speaker 7: a wise decision down the road whether or not you
Speaker 7: want to spend a lot of your time and openness
Speaker 7: and vulnerability with this person. So right now you're just
Speaker 7: kind of like in that phase of collecting information and
Speaker 7: it's not you don't want to be so giving because
Speaker 7: you're opening yourself up to getting walked all over. And
Speaker 7: I think if that's a good advice for when you're dating,
Speaker 7: when you're starting to make new friends. We've all been there.
Speaker 7: We've shown our kindness and people interpreted it as weakness.
Speaker 1: So we're okay, just see it. We're setting cool, but.
Speaker 3: We're setting the tone. Also, this is for the ladies.
Speaker 3: You're setting the tone for the relationship. So if you're
Speaker 3: you will have so much time to bake if you
Speaker 3: guys get married or you will have your life to
Speaker 3: bake and be yourself, get really honest about your motives
Speaker 3: really honest.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: I think the motive here is he'll like me more
Speaker 2: if I do This is not scrape for.
Speaker 1: It's not her being her. That's so it.
Speaker 4: And you got to remember at the beginning, you're trying
Speaker 4: to attract each other. You're not in a relationship yet,
Speaker 4: so you got to do things that will continue the
Speaker 4: attraction because at that stage people could be dating that
Speaker 4: you're in competition with all the other daters.
Speaker 3: That really knows this one thing she's doing. She's like,
Speaker 3: I'm trying to attract him. Will this attract him? And
Speaker 3: all the dudes are.
Speaker 4: Like attracting these dudes on Reddit.
Speaker 2: It is, but there they don't even know how much
Speaker 2: they would be unattracted to it if it were actually happening,
Speaker 2: if they knew that they had this woman on the
Speaker 2: hook and that there wasn't any chase. She's not only
Speaker 2: she's not only totally on board for you. This is
Speaker 2: also by the way cake on the second date can
Speaker 2: or baking him a dessert can also represent sex. Giving
Speaker 2: him something that you put a lot of effort into
Speaker 2: that is something that you give your someone that you
Speaker 2: should love, like wait for the cake and wait for
Speaker 2: the pussy until you're in love and until.
Speaker 3: He loves to him that you hope that you're in
Speaker 3: you hope he likes you. And that's not what dating
Speaker 3: is about. Like Noah said that in the beginning, he's
Speaker 3: courting you. I think, I know that's an antiquated idea
Speaker 3: and maybe no.
Speaker 2: But if you're the feminine energy in the relationship, which
Speaker 2: you have to determine what you're going to be, If
Speaker 2: you're masculine energy woman, you're courting him, probably right, wouldn't
Speaker 2: you say?
Speaker 3: Yeah? But you are both gathering data about each other,
Speaker 3: like Noah said, So he's going to gather about you, like, Oh,
Speaker 3: she's very uh giving, and she's going to bake me
Speaker 3: stuff and she's kind.
Speaker 2: Of trying to them in an energy man would like
Speaker 2: a cake being baked for him, and that would be
Speaker 2: a good move to do if you were the second date,
Speaker 2: I think, well, I think what about a man doing
Speaker 2: that for a woman, let's say, buying her a baking I.
Speaker 1: Wouldn't like that. That would be like two over the top.
Speaker 4: I've done that before. I haven't made the cake, but
Speaker 4: I've done done early absolute disaster. What she should do
Speaker 4: is she should buy all the ingredients for the cake,
Speaker 4: and then she should bake the cake, and then she
Speaker 4: should cancel the date and eat the cake, and then
Speaker 4: the next day she should be like, oh, I ate
Speaker 4: this cake and like that's my favorite dessert. And she's like, oh, really,
Speaker 4: I didn't realize that's it.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 3: You want to know more masculine energy women, Nikki, Do
Speaker 3: you think you are that?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: I do in many ways, but I also think that
Speaker 2: I'm feminine energy in a relationship.
Speaker 1: In the bedroom, I think.
Speaker 7: He is masculine, but in a relationships.
Speaker 3: Susculine energy woman in a relationship wouldn't get her feelings
Speaker 3: short about like not hearing from a guy or not
Speaker 3: being cherished, not being wooed. And I don't know that woman.
Speaker 3: I want to meet her. I would love to meet
Speaker 3: like a truly mass My sister in law is definitely masculine.
Speaker 2: Energy and in a relationship too, Satie and I didn't
Speaker 2: hear in a relationship as well, Like she's masculine energy
Speaker 2: throughout the whole. Like in the romantic thing, I I
Speaker 2: will say that I don't really respond to flowers and
Speaker 2: stuff the way that I'm almost perf I appreciate them
Speaker 2: because it means efforts.
Speaker 1: I guess it means they thought of me, but I don't.
Speaker 3: I sometimes but that don't think it was.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's like a gift, like whether or not you
Speaker 7: like receiving gifts.
Speaker 3: That's just like your love language. Or you just don't
Speaker 3: like flower.
Speaker 1: You don't, You're not so are you? In your energy? Woman?
Speaker 1: You're your sister in law.
Speaker 2: Would not need to hear like, would not need a
Speaker 2: guy to text her back.
Speaker 7: She wouldn't need to have her feelings acknowledge like that
Speaker 7: wouldn't be something that sets her off.
Speaker 1: But she would need like.
Speaker 7: To be respected and all of her work and stuff
Speaker 7: like appreciated and all that.
Speaker 3: So maybe if she was into baking.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd get away with I don't care if Chris
Speaker 1: respects my thoughts like because I just I really don't
Speaker 1: because I know that he does.
Speaker 2: I know that he thinks I'm funny. I know that
Speaker 2: he thinks I'm smart. He often says I'm smarter than him.
Speaker 2: I get that. I'm solid in that. I don't even
Speaker 2: need to hear that because I don't think I'm smarter
Speaker 2: than him. But I I'm confident in my thoughts being like,
Speaker 2: I don't I don't need that, but I do need
Speaker 2: when I'm sad someone to be like, it's okay to
Speaker 2: feel this way. Oh you're sad, like I do like that? Okay,
Speaker 2: moving on. This is from those subreddit cool guides, and
Speaker 2: this is how much musicians make from streams streaming payouts. Okay, Spotify,
Speaker 2: what do you think you're you're making perse stream of
Speaker 2: your songs? Anya?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 3: God, like nothing, It's like what like for one song?
Speaker 3: Fifteen hundred streams is something? Isn't it like a dollar?
Speaker 3: I don't even know. I really don't know.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, it is point zero zero four cents,
Speaker 1: so in order to make a dollar, what is that? Brian?
Speaker 2: Are you good at math? Point zero zero four? So
Speaker 2: that's gonna need too. It goes to eight cents, So
Speaker 2: two streams would make you eight Sorry, with two streams
Speaker 2: would make you one nearly one cent?
Speaker 1: Okay, three streams is going to make you two.
Speaker 4: Hundred and fifty streams makes you a dollar? Really, I
Speaker 4: think so I just did.
Speaker 2: I'll say three streams make you one cent, so three
Speaker 2: times that is one dollar or one hundred times, so
Speaker 2: three hundred streams will make you a dollar. I final thought,
Speaker 2: I encourage everyone today to stream on your Marina songs
Speaker 2: three hundred times.
Speaker 1: That's like, I'll make it, give me just leave it
Speaker 1: on loop.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that could work.
Speaker 1: Do people do that?
Speaker 3: I think?
Speaker 6: So?
Speaker 4: What if you did it? Anya? What if you just
Speaker 4: had like several computers running all day long looping your
Speaker 4: own music.
Speaker 1: By the end of the week, you can buy yourself
Speaker 1: a Starbucks at all.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm hoping for that. Honestly pays me more than
Speaker 3: Spotify because I have points.
Speaker 1: It's so weird. I just wanted to.
Speaker 2: Like Taylor Swift, they've recently released the numbers of like
Speaker 2: her streams like on Spotify every day they're being like,
Speaker 2: you know, eighty billion plays or whatever, and you could
Speaker 2: you can kind of figure out what they're making from
Speaker 2: that and it'll make you sick. Okay, this is from
Speaker 2: me I r L And it's just a tweet. It's
Speaker 2: two tweets, actually, one person responding to the other. First
Speaker 2: person says, being new at a job is so embarrassing
Speaker 2: for no reason.
Speaker 1: You just don't know what you can Always their hands
Speaker 1: are always like at their sides.
Speaker 4: Kind of I'm always over dressed whenever I have a
Speaker 4: new job. I'm always wearing like a tuxedo in the
Speaker 4: office and everyone's like, this is casual.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: And the girl responded said, someone said, it feels like
Speaker 2: you're a new character on season five.
Speaker 1: And the great news is.
Speaker 2: Is that once you get once you learn the ropes,
Speaker 2: and you're there for like a month and a half,
Speaker 2: you're the fucking top dog. Like there's a great Like
Speaker 2: I do envy and I miss that feeling of like
Speaker 2: training someone new and being like, oh my god, I've
Speaker 2: come so far. I used to be in this position
Speaker 2: and not know where the aprons were, or where the
Speaker 2: checks went, or how to write in a peta order
Speaker 2: or whatever it was whenever a restaurant I was working.
Speaker 2: It feels really good when you can do it and
Speaker 2: not think about it and not have to worry about
Speaker 2: every step. And like I would get such anxiety going
Speaker 2: into work when I had first started a job, memorizing
Speaker 2: the menu, like approaching the table, like I have to
Speaker 2: say waitresses and waiters.
Speaker 1: That is a really like talk about stage fright.
Speaker 2: I think that is so much more scary than doing
Speaker 2: open mic comedy. Like I don't think I've ever been
Speaker 2: so nervous in my life as I was being a
Speaker 2: waitress and having to be like, hey, guys, how are
Speaker 2: you tonight? So we've got some deals on Sam Adams tonight.
Speaker 2: If you guys are looking at a real thirsty also
Speaker 2: our special tonight is like it's a lot.
Speaker 4: More desperate than trying to get laughs.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's so embarrassing and I used to get so
Speaker 1: I can't even believe I did it, like even thinking
Speaker 1: about it. So I just want to give a shout
Speaker 1: out to everyone who's a waiter or waitress out there,
Speaker 1: Like it is a performance that you don't get a
Speaker 1: lot of credit for that most people could not do.
Speaker 1: Most people would never work in the restaurant industry because
Speaker 1: it would be too They just can't take that much.
Speaker 1: I'm guessing Noah is not someone who could ever would
Speaker 1: ever be a waitress.
Speaker 7: I was just gonna say, I have never been a
Speaker 7: waitress or anything.
Speaker 1: That Is that a reason? Maybe because it is a
Speaker 1: great job? And is that a reason because you want
Speaker 1: to talk to the table.
Speaker 7: I always wanted to be like the kind of person
Speaker 7: who could have that tub and do that job.
Speaker 2: But you know what, because I know that waiters and
Speaker 2: waitresses are not treated great, and maybe you just feel
Speaker 2: like it's just soul sucking and just such hellish work.
Speaker 2: Have a little bit of pride in what you do
Speaker 2: because it's so hard for most people to do that job.
Speaker 2: It really is public speaking on a very small like
Speaker 2: performing for four people at a four top like that
Speaker 2: is that is way harder than performing for thousands of people.
Speaker 2: Based on someone who performs with thousands of people, it's
Speaker 2: way harder to perform for smaller amounts of people in
Speaker 2: a room where you can see all their faces and
Speaker 2: they're looking at you. It's hell and where your performance
Speaker 2: is going to be either rewarded or not at the end,
Speaker 2: Like I get paid the same amount no matter what.
Speaker 2: And I know there are some fixed places that just
Speaker 2: have fixed tips, but yeah, I just want to give
Speaker 2: you my situation.
Speaker 4: Worse if you're a comedian, and that is, if you
Speaker 4: do comedy at a restaurant, especially if they're not expecting common.
Speaker 1: That is.
Speaker 2: Man, there's this guy Kurt Ryan Comedy who does these
Speaker 2: hilarious memes on Instagram, and whether or not you're a comedian,
Speaker 2: especially if you're a comedian, you'll really appreciate them. I'm
Speaker 2: just gonna read some of them now that it's on
Speaker 2: my mind. Uh, Brian, you have to follow him because
Speaker 2: it's just it's all like inside baseball comedy stuff, but
Speaker 2: it's also.
Speaker 1: I think other people can appreciate it.
Speaker 2: There's a there's one guy that's like climbing a set
Speaker 2: of stairs and his leg is super long to reach
Speaker 2: the top step and he's on the bottom step, but
Speaker 2: his leg looks extended, and it says.
Speaker 1: Open my comic is the guy is the guy?
Speaker 2: It says, like, open my comic on this guy's back,
Speaker 2: And then each step has a different thing. It says
Speaker 2: hard work, strong, joke writing, paying dues, being social and
Speaker 2: building connections, message booker and harass him for spot like
Speaker 2: all these.
Speaker 1: Things you have to do.
Speaker 2: Then there's one of there's people just like vomiting into
Speaker 2: different like almost getty images of people like about to
Speaker 2: vomit into toilets, and on the top of it just says,
Speaker 2: when I'm on state, I like that. And then there's
Speaker 2: one of like Winnie the Pooh and it's like his
Speaker 2: face is calm and it says jokes.
Speaker 1: And then it's the one that's kind of like and
Speaker 1: it says bits and then one of the ends, so
Speaker 1: like it looks like a really deranged in bred who
Speaker 1: it says little skits.
Speaker 2: That's just based on what people call what you do comedy.
Speaker 2: Like when you start comedy, your aunt will be like,
Speaker 2: how are your little bits doing?
Speaker 4: You know it's changing, it's changing, gen z TikTokers. There's
Speaker 4: skits now, they're all skits. That's the cool thing to
Speaker 4: say is y, yes, it's well. I couldn't believe it
Speaker 4: when it was happening.
Speaker 1: Instead of saying bits like I'm working on this new skit.
Speaker 4: It skits now it's all skits out. If you're especially
Speaker 4: if you're a social media person, it's like, I've got
Speaker 4: these new skits I'm working on. I'm doing these skits
Speaker 4: and that's cool. They don't know what a bit is.
Speaker 4: I don't even think, oh.
Speaker 1: There's another one.
Speaker 2: It's like, uh, it's a guy with a face the
Speaker 2: emoji of a guy going like oh, face palming. And
Speaker 2: at the top it's like has little arrows after each
Speaker 2: word it says I meet someone.
Speaker 1: Then the next arrow we talk.
Speaker 2: Next arrow they say, put that in your little skits
Speaker 2: and the next thing is die inside. So it's just
Speaker 2: like little things like this, and uh.
Speaker 4: Our classic ant thing is like have you ever tried
Speaker 4: writing for snl oh? Like the same thing as little.
Speaker 2: Skits I mean and classically I mean, these are all
Speaker 2: so tired for Brian and I because we've heard a
Speaker 2: million times. But I don't know if everyone else knows
Speaker 2: that we deal with this as like you know, obviously
Speaker 2: your comedian tell me a joke, or like you should
Speaker 2: hang out with me a little bit. You'll get a
Speaker 2: lot of material lining it out with us. Please never
Speaker 2: say any of these things to a comedian. You you might,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't know it unless I was a comedian. I
Speaker 2: would probably do the same thing to people. Wait, Anya,
Speaker 2: didn't you recently tell someone like we had this disc
Speaker 2: what happened?
Speaker 1: Do you remember those circumstances? Well?
Speaker 3: I was gonna say two things. One is, people will
Speaker 3: sometimes come up to me and be like, well you
Speaker 3: I have some jokes for Naki while you give them
Speaker 3: to her. And the people are always like, I have
Speaker 3: these lyrics, do you want them for your songs?
Speaker 1: I'm like, God, are you holding me?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 3: What happens all the time?
Speaker 4: You'd think people would understand, at least not lyrics.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what they don't because they're watching shows
Speaker 2: like Daisy Jones in the Six.
Speaker 1: And I've got a problem with Daisy Jones in the six. Okay,
Speaker 1: I am so sick. There's nothing special about the show
Speaker 1: that is not exactly what happens on every other fucking
Speaker 1: show or movie about music. It happened in A Star
Speaker 1: is Born, where a woman writes some lyrics in her
Speaker 1: little journal and she writes a song. Then a man
Speaker 1: puts some guitar behind it, and suddenly he makes a
Speaker 1: full song out of her little scribbly lyrics that she's
Speaker 1: written down in a notebook that he shouldn't even be reading.
Speaker 1: And then suddenly this woman is going to be a
Speaker 1: famous singer now because this man helped. Like in A
Speaker 1: Star is Born, she like tells Bradley Cooper like an
Speaker 1: idea for a song, and then the next night he's
Speaker 1: on stage and performs the entire song that he has
Speaker 1: written like a bridge to, and then she comes out
Speaker 1: and sings it and somehow knows it. It doesn't make
Speaker 1: any fucking sense. Daisy Jones in the Sick sucks. If
Speaker 1: you like it, you should probably stop listening to this
Speaker 1: podcast because we have nothing in common. I will actually
Speaker 1: tell me why you like it. Maybe he's trying to
Speaker 1: sell me on it. We Chris and I watched the
Speaker 1: first episode, and I said, should we do the second episode?
Speaker 1: Just because I wanted to keep making fun of it
Speaker 1: because it was so fucking.
Speaker 2: Bad and it was just every It's a show that
Speaker 2: makes you that already thinks you care about the characters,
Speaker 2: even though none of them are famous.
Speaker 1: I don't know any of them. I don't have nothing.
Speaker 2: Like sometimes a show you can almost care about a
Speaker 2: character early because you know this actor, and you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be invested in this because none of these
Speaker 2: people you recognize. There's nothing about them that is likable.
Speaker 2: About any of them. You see them aged like twenty
Speaker 2: years ahead. They look younger than they do in the
Speaker 2: scene where they're young. The guy, the main guy, is
Speaker 2: too thin.
Speaker 1: He looks like he should be on The Walking Dead
Speaker 1: as not a person that's like survived, but one of
Speaker 1: the Walkers. He looks he's too disturbingly corpsey. He keeps
Speaker 1: looking like a corpse. To me, that's no shade. He's
Speaker 1: a beautiful man now he's put on a little weight.
Speaker 1: But I don't I I don't get the attraction. I
Speaker 1: don't get holl He's like, Billy is the cool guy
Speaker 1: around town. I hate that this woman who has never
Speaker 1: once we haven't heard her sing except one time in
Speaker 1: the shower, she goes to concerts. Oh, this is the
Speaker 1: fable that we all convince ourselves about.
Speaker 2: This is what we want to believe about musicians, is
Speaker 2: that if you like music enough, you can make it.
Speaker 2: So this girl goes to shows and she's in the
Speaker 2: audience and she's always just like feeling the music. And
Speaker 2: then she meets these musicians that she's been going to
Speaker 2: see and they're like, I've seen you in the crowd.
Speaker 2: You're not there for the band members, you're there for
Speaker 2: the music.
Speaker 1: And she's like, you get me. And then this girl
Speaker 1: who has never sang is only scribbled some fucking lyrics
Speaker 1: in a notebook and took piano lessons when she was
Speaker 1: a kid, which we haven't seen any evidence of. She's
Speaker 1: walking by a place and it says like, uh, it says.
Speaker 2: A loan piano, a lone piano or something. It says
Speaker 2: two words like lone piano on this board. And she
Speaker 2: walks in.
Speaker 1: She kind of looks in the window. It's like I
Speaker 1: wish I could someday. I wonder if she's good. By
Speaker 1: the end of the son, of course, she walks in
Speaker 1: because her boyfriend has just told her that he's the
Speaker 1: main guy and she's never gonna be nothing. And she
Speaker 1: pushes this and says, I'm the main thing.
Speaker 2: I'm a star, and he goes, okay, WEIRDO, I've never
Speaker 2: heard you sing, so this is weird that you suddenly
Speaker 2: want to be a star.
Speaker 1: How am I supposed to glean that?
Speaker 2: I was trying to bring you into my songwriting process
Speaker 2: because I do know that you're talented in writing, but
Speaker 2: you've never sang before.
Speaker 1: So then she goes into this place, and of course
Speaker 1: she goes to the.
Speaker 2: Mic, and she has a perfect voice, perfectly trained or
Speaker 2: and plays with meano. It's so good, and I'm just
Speaker 2: tired of it. That's not how anything works. It's giving
Speaker 2: people false expectations. It's giving girls a dream that cannot
Speaker 2: be realized.
Speaker 1: That way. It says nothing of any hard work. It
Speaker 1: just shows if you like music enough, you can be
