Speaker 1: The Nicky Gliser Podcast. O Glaser, here's Nikki. Hello, here,
Speaker 1: I am welcome to the show. It's Nicky Glazer Podcast.
Speaker 2: It's Thursday, and it is actually Thursday right now when
Speaker 2: I'm recording this with Anya Marina, Brian Franjie, and Noah
Speaker 2: whose last name I always struggle with Avire.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. You gotta are Yeah, that's the way.
Speaker 3: That's the way, Brian Franjie and Los Angie, as Kirsten suggested.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really good. I like that a lot. Yeah.
Speaker 2: We actually had a flight attendant, almost said stewardess. We
Speaker 2: almost had a flight attendant on the way to New
Speaker 2: York yesterday and hollow.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: My friend Halla, who's a listener to the show, big fan,
Speaker 2: been on the show before. She and I both freaked
Speaker 2: out because our flight attendant. They were like, your flight attendant,
Speaker 2: franch Francie Franchie. What f r A n C h
Speaker 2: E E Franchie.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: We were both like, oh, didn't ask was asleep by
Speaker 2: the time she came around.
Speaker 5: You know that there's a man named something Frangie who
Speaker 5: lives in New York, And I was like, who is
Speaker 5: this guy? My brother investigated and it turns out he's
Speaker 5: my long lost great cousin.
Speaker 1: Well he wasn't lost though.
Speaker 4: He found Yeah, he found himself long ago in the desert.
Speaker 1: Any Franji's probably related to you.
Speaker 5: There's yeah, well I do know this, that Franjie. I
Speaker 5: don't know if I said this before, but Franngie is
Speaker 5: Syrian for foreigners, foreigner, so are you Syrian? So it
Speaker 5: must be that one of my ancestors, the the O G.
Speaker 5: Franngie went to Ellis Island and they were like, what's
Speaker 5: your last name? And then he said in his native language,
Speaker 5: I am a foreigner and boom, that's my last name
Speaker 5: for end.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's interesting. That's how the band formed
Speaker 2: got their name.
Speaker 3: I think that's how it went. You think they said
Speaker 3: I'm a foreigner and then the person in the US said, ah,
Speaker 3: Frangie or you mean in.
Speaker 1: Syria, like the Syrian Elie Island.
Speaker 5: They were like they're in a long line of immigrants
Speaker 5: trying to get into America and they were like last name,
Speaker 5: and then you know, they wrote down the names on
Speaker 5: a piece of paper and the person was like a
Speaker 5: Frenchy frenchie and like what Frengie and they okay, Frngie.
Speaker 5: But all he was saying was I'm a foreigner, which
Speaker 5: is kind of dumb thing to say if I think
Speaker 5: of you know you, you know, even no matter what
Speaker 5: the person said, maybe he thought the person was saying,
Speaker 5: are you a citizen?
Speaker 1: Are you a citizen? Yeah, that makes more sense.
Speaker 5: But then it's surprising that there isn't more franchis. Do
Speaker 5: you think my whatever great great great grandpa I think
Speaker 5: was the dumbest Syrian.
Speaker 1: He's the only one.
Speaker 2: They're all named whatever it means like I'm hungry and tired, named.
Speaker 1: Where's the bathroom in Syrian?
Speaker 2: Like McConnell or Jones is like Syrian for I haven't
Speaker 2: eaten for two weeks. So yeah, we flew to New York,
Speaker 2: Colin and I to see I got a chance to
Speaker 2: go see Dave Matthews perform a very intimate concert at
Speaker 2: Irving Plaza, which I don't know if you know, is
Speaker 2: like oh, twelve hundred cap It's like very small, yes,
Speaker 2: And I thought it was gonna be the whole band.
Speaker 2: It was just him, which my favorite. I love seeing
Speaker 2: my favorite artists acoustically. That's like the way I want
Speaker 2: to see them all I wish Taylor Swift played her
Speaker 2: whole concert with her guitar, but and it was.
Speaker 1: It was incredible. I was supposed to do it.
Speaker 2: First, they were going to pay me to do it,
Speaker 2: and then my lawyers caught wind of the deal and
Speaker 2: they said, you have a podcast with iHeart, and you
Speaker 2: can't do anything for serious and I was like, okay,
Speaker 2: I'll kiss fifty thousand dollars goodbye to go so that
Speaker 2: I don't post one thing, which by the way, I
Speaker 2: ended up posting anyway, because I went to it. I
Speaker 2: didn't tag Serious in it, but you can infer. So
Speaker 2: I ended up nothing changed. I'm still eligible to go
Speaker 2: to things and post anything I want, except I just
Speaker 2: didn't make fifty thousand dollars, so that would have been
Speaker 2: nice to get paid to go do that. And they
Speaker 2: were gonna give me money for glam and all this stuff,
Speaker 2: so that was a little bit.
Speaker 1: Of a heartache.
Speaker 2: And by the way, I Heart didn't catch wind of this,
Speaker 2: they probably would have never noticed, not that I'm ever
Speaker 2: trying to do anything shady. I didn't even know it
Speaker 2: would be a conflict of interest. I didn't even think
Speaker 2: anything of it. I'm like doing the deal with the
Speaker 2: guy and I'm like, yeah, this sounds great, let's do it.
Speaker 2: And then my team was like, hey, this doesn't go
Speaker 2: well with your contract, and I go, can we change
Speaker 2: the wording? Because this is I'm promoting their album. I'm
Speaker 2: not It's not even four serious. And they were like
Speaker 2: it's gonna be too much, and I go, okay, well
Speaker 2: can I not pay you guys fifty thousand dollars this
Speaker 2: year because you just took that from me for calling
Speaker 2: this thing out that I wouldn't have ever gotten.
Speaker 1: No one would have noticed. But it's the right thing
Speaker 1: to do.
Speaker 2: And once I realized it was in breach of contract,
Speaker 2: kind of obviously, I was not gonna try to do
Speaker 2: anything for But that's just I never understand why. I
Speaker 2: get like when when a platform has you like if
Speaker 2: I'm doing a show on ABC, I'm not allowed to
Speaker 2: do shows on any other network. If I were ABC
Speaker 2: and this is just me, I would think it's all
Speaker 2: about like ego for these people, of like we own
Speaker 2: this talent. I would think if she went over to NBC,
Speaker 2: she'd probably talk about the show she's on on ABC,
Speaker 2: and it would be good for us, any publicity or
Speaker 2: this person getting out there is going to lead people
Speaker 2: to google them and find out where else to find them,
Speaker 2: therefore leading to us.
Speaker 1: But people want to own you.
Speaker 3: Sure. We ran into this all the time when I
Speaker 3: was a radio DJ, and it was so annoying because
Speaker 3: these radio stations have these wars, and like I was
Speaker 3: in San Diego there were two alternative rock stations and
Speaker 3: if a band came to ours and not the other one.
Speaker 1: The band would be dead to the other station.
Speaker 3: It's like, really, Smashing Pumpkins is dead to you now.
Speaker 1: Yes, because they came to see it.
Speaker 2: I do that at comedy clubs, and you know it's
Speaker 2: so bad, Like it's not good for talent, and it's
Speaker 2: all a game of like people people's egos, and I
Speaker 2: have no ill will towards iHeart. Obviously they've done. They're
Speaker 2: like the best company to work forever. They've given me
Speaker 2: everything I ever could want and they had nothing to
Speaker 2: do with me not doing this deal, literally nothing. But
Speaker 2: it is weird when comedy clubs used to do this. Brian,
Speaker 2: You know this. If there's two comedy clubs in town
Speaker 2: and you are an up and COmON comic who needs
Speaker 2: as much stage time as possible to get.
Speaker 1: Good at what you do. You need to take every chance.
Speaker 2: If you work the other club in town, you will
Speaker 2: get blacklisted from the club you're the club you originally
Speaker 2: work at. And these because these owners want to like
Speaker 2: own you. If they really cared about talent and nurturing
Speaker 2: talent and making you a better comedian, they wouldn't give
Speaker 2: a fuck if you went across the river and performed
Speaker 2: at the Saint Charles location or whatever.
Speaker 1: But they do. They only give a fuck because.
Speaker 2: And and by the way, when you're coming up as
Speaker 2: a comic, no one gives a fuck who you are.
Speaker 2: You're not a name yet, no one can claim you
Speaker 2: yet they just they do this to open micers who
Speaker 2: have no following. They just want to they just feel
Speaker 2: It's it reminds me of monogamy too, and which bothers
Speaker 2: me about like I own someone and your mind now
Speaker 2: and you can't even think about someone else. And it's like, well,
Speaker 2: I'm a human being and I want to have experiences
Speaker 2: and I just just ownership of someone else.
Speaker 1: It starts to get it. Man, It gets in my.
Speaker 3: Cross in the bedroom.
Speaker 1: If you say it, what do you mean, I own?
Speaker 1: I own you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. It's just but I don't understand.
Speaker 2: I've never understood why in television, if I have a
Speaker 2: show on NBC, why they won't let me go on
Speaker 2: an ABC S.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why.
Speaker 3: Human nature is annoyingly such that when you hear something
Speaker 3: like the power of suggestion is very strong. So if
Speaker 3: I'm listening to a radio station A one hundred point
Speaker 3: three and that DJ is like, you know, on ninety
Speaker 3: eight point five, it's just human nature to flip over
Speaker 3: to ninety eight point five. So I think that's You're right,
Speaker 3: it's ego. But I think another part of it is
Speaker 3: also the power of suggestion, Like you just heard something
Speaker 3: and now it's subconsciously in your mind.
Speaker 2: If I have a star on my network that is
Speaker 2: the star of a show, I want them to be
Speaker 2: on as many things as possible that would lead as
Speaker 2: long as they're good. I understand, like not wanting your
Speaker 2: artist to go do shitty things like to go do
Speaker 2: a like beer hugging contest on another station or something.
Speaker 2: But if you're just if if if my show is
Speaker 2: your main show and you want to go do other shows,
Speaker 2: like it becomes when you whittle it down, you go
Speaker 2: it's not about them feeling like we're missing out on
Speaker 2: money from this. It's about we just want to own you.
Speaker 5: Correct on behalf of the giant corporations. Like I think
Speaker 5: it's partially pleasing to you. It's partially branding. Like when
Speaker 5: like you know how HBO, Like you watch an HBO
Speaker 5: show and like the same actors and like all the
Speaker 5: all of the HBO shows that come out for the
Speaker 5: next ten years, they associate just like the major studios
Speaker 5: back in the fifties. It's like people will associate that
Speaker 5: star with the network. So like if you only appeared
Speaker 5: on iHeartRadio, then whenever you post on Instagram just personal stuff,
Speaker 5: then in the viewer's mind, iHeartRadio will pop up whenever
Speaker 5: they see you because now you're associated with that brand.
Speaker 4: It's just like back in the day, anytime that.
Speaker 5: We saw James Gandelfini, we think about HBO.
Speaker 2: Right, I understand, I get what you're saying. What I'm
Speaker 2: saying is if you want the person who is a
Speaker 2: star on your network to be a bigger star, to
Speaker 2: have more eyes on your thing, wouldn't you want them
Speaker 2: to do more things and to expand as a star.
Speaker 2: But it's it's not it's the same thing as like,
Speaker 2: I don't want you having fun anywhere else if I
Speaker 2: can't have fun with you. Yeah, hbo I you know,
Speaker 2: the Stars Network doesn't get to have you either, because
Speaker 2: we want you. It's about it's still an exclusive. Yeah,
Speaker 2: exclusivity kind of grews me out.
Speaker 1: I'm realizing when you do.
Speaker 3: I think the contract even states like you cannot in
Speaker 3: this city for six months or something crazy. Same with that.
Speaker 2: That makes sense because there are people that don't want
Speaker 2: to come see me again. But if I'm doing this
Speaker 2: might be the same. I might bring back the same
Speaker 2: show to town. That makes sense. But if I'm people
Speaker 2: don't have a threshold for how much entertainment they watch
Speaker 2: on TV. They're not going to choose me on a
Speaker 2: cooking show over me. You know what, I I don't know.
Speaker 2: You're making sense. I'm kind of making sense.
Speaker 1: I agree with you.
Speaker 5: I'm just playing devil's advocate, arguing for you know.
Speaker 1: The devil. Yeah, the devil, Big Corp.
Speaker 4: Big Corp.
Speaker 5: But I agree with you that and you know the
Speaker 5: few Sure. The future I think is in the individual,
Speaker 5: especially with the dissemination of people's social media identities and
Speaker 5: eventually everyone's becoming their own company, and the days of
Speaker 5: the old studio is not is not gonna happen anymore.
Speaker 6: You're right, yeah, I agruciately, the people who are running
Speaker 6: these companies not iHeart. Are these people from that era
Speaker 6: who are just like SO said, in their.
Speaker 2: Ways, and they're terrified of losing their jobs because there
Speaker 2: is no stability in resport America.
Speaker 1: There's I do want to say, if I was in
Speaker 1: the position, I would take no risk. Yes, I would get.
Speaker 2: What no one looking at me, even though your head
Speaker 2: is constantly in the guillotine, ready to be chopped off
Speaker 2: at any moment for nothing you've done. I cannot even
Speaker 2: tell you the amount of times anytime I do a
Speaker 2: general meeting with executives from a network, I go, I'll
Speaker 2: have to do this again in three months, because it'll
Speaker 2: be someone new. I don't if you're listening, I feel
Speaker 2: so bad for you guys, Like it must just be
Speaker 2: terrifying every day to walk into work knowing that you
Speaker 2: could be on the shopping block.
Speaker 4: That's why everything on TV is pre existing.
Speaker 5: I p now or remake of something, or it needs
Speaker 5: to have a gigantic star attached to it, like there's
Speaker 5: no no one takes risks anymore. The art art, the
Speaker 5: artistry in Hollywood has gotten that jury Did.
Speaker 1: You see that jury show?
Speaker 2: I really wanted to watch the one where they made
Speaker 2: a fake world around that guy. You would have been
Speaker 2: a great guy for that, Brian, you.
Speaker 4: Know who was on that? Was? Was that that's the
Speaker 4: one on free Form? Or it went?
Speaker 1: I forget who knows.
Speaker 3: Your cousin?
Speaker 4: Michael?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know who to associate that brand with,
Speaker 2: but that was it was like James Marsden's in it,
Speaker 2: and they tricked this guy into doing jury duty?
Speaker 1: Was it so fun?
Speaker 2: It was?
Speaker 1: It was good. It was really hyped up.
Speaker 3: Uh and I was like, I'm okay, I got one episode.
Speaker 1: Lisa Gilroy's on that and I'm obsessed with Yeah, I
Speaker 1: didn't get to her episodes. I really like her.
Speaker 3: I would love to see her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that I felt like an original thing, like a
Speaker 2: risk being taken. F Boy Island is somewhat of a
Speaker 2: I mean, we you know, definitely did things outside of
Speaker 2: the box. But again like it's there are zones that
Speaker 2: you can stay in that you're kind of safe, but
Speaker 2: it is I was pitching some show ideas the other
Speaker 2: day and getting just like ah, that sounds good, like okay, oh,
Speaker 2: and like like honestly no response to them. But I
Speaker 2: wouldn't even know it was a pitch meeting. I just
Speaker 2: thought it was a general meeting where you just go like.
Speaker 1: Hey, what's up. I'm Nikki, you're them.
Speaker 2: Let's like talk in the future if we have any ideas,
Speaker 2: and they're like, but we want to know what you're
Speaker 2: thinking about, and I'm like, I'm working on my music career.
Speaker 1: I don't really care about doing TV right now.
Speaker 2: So if you have a TV show about that, I
Speaker 2: would love to do a TV show where I'm like
Speaker 2: trying to be a musician and they're like okay, but
Speaker 2: that is kind of what I realized. No offense to
Speaker 2: everyone who's working very hard to keep me in this career.
Speaker 1: I just want a different career. I mean I want this.
Speaker 2: I like podcasting, I like doing stand up. I'm not
Speaker 2: looking for a sitcom that honestly seems like uh yeah,
Speaker 2: can I just say waiting for that call from Taylor?
Speaker 5: What for the record, I think the only giant corporation
Speaker 5: that takes risks and does it right and is full
Speaker 5: of brave, smart people as iHeartRadio I mean, yeah, they
Speaker 5: really are one of the best corporations.
Speaker 2: Not listening big money players network. Yes, No, we're great.
Speaker 2: I'm I have no complains about I heard anyone. Anytime
Speaker 2: someone writes me to go like hey, I'm thinking about
Speaker 2: doing at I'm always like. They have done everything that
Speaker 2: I've ever wanted and wished. They've given me no notes,
Speaker 2: they let me be myself. They are They're amazing, so
Speaker 2: very grateful because you know, when I was choosing a
Speaker 2: podcast network, it was between of you.
Speaker 4: I gotta know more. Oh, yeah it was.
Speaker 1: It was a little bit of a not a war,
Speaker 1: but am rate a scirm. Yeah, there you go, and
Speaker 1: I chose right. Sometimes you just go.
Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm doing. We'll just see if
Speaker 2: it works out. And it definitely worked out. Like everyone
Speaker 2: there is so nice and I'm a little corporate bitch
Speaker 2: and we'll be right back unter thiss. So last night
Speaker 2: went to the Dave Matthews concert at Irving Plaza with
Speaker 2: I flew my mom out last minute because she was like,
Speaker 2: I can't go again. You took me to Taylor Swift
Speaker 2: this weekend. It's too much, Nick, And I'm like, it's
Speaker 2: you know, it's a little bit of money for flights,
Speaker 2: but we stayed at my friend Sara Lina's house. I
Speaker 2: didn't have to put her up in a hotel. It's
Speaker 2: a free ticket to this intimate show. She didn't know
Speaker 2: it was. She thought I was gonna be in a
Speaker 2: stadium or arena, and then I told her I was
Speaker 2: probably We probably had ninety percent chance of meeting Dave
Speaker 2: after the show. And she was like, I don't know,
Speaker 2: I shouldn't go, and I just bought our ticket. I
Speaker 2: was like, well, then you're you're going. If you're even
Speaker 2: on the fence, you're going. So she flew out. Yesterday
Speaker 2: New York was apocalyptic. It was the fucking air was orange.
Speaker 2: It was orange and yellow outside. It was so bad.
Speaker 2: I realized that during COVID I didn't give a fuck
Speaker 2: about my mask, because yesterday I was wearing a ninety
Speaker 2: five so responsibly making sure it was stucked over every
Speaker 2: portion of my face, circumference, totally solid, you know, using
Speaker 2: that little wiry part at the nose to make sure
Speaker 2: no air got in. That I realized during COVID, I
Speaker 2: didn't give a fuck about my mask. I'm coming out
Speaker 2: with it now. I made it look like I cared
Speaker 2: because I wanted to respect those around me. But I
Speaker 2: was never scared of getting COVID.
Speaker 1: I just was.
Speaker 2: It's not that I didn't believe in it or I
Speaker 2: was like, this is bullshit. Everyone doesn't care. I knew
Speaker 2: it was a big deal. I just can't care about
Speaker 2: things that I don't care about. You know, like, you
Speaker 2: can't get me to be scared of picking a lollipop
Speaker 2: off the ground if I don't already care. You can't
Speaker 2: get me to care about travel and seeing the world
Speaker 2: if I don't care about it.
Speaker 1: You can't something in my brain.
Speaker 2: Because it's it's my voice, and because it's like breathing
Speaker 2: in cancer COVID, I'm like, okay, I just oh my god.
Speaker 2: I was coughing all day long. I didn't feel it
Speaker 2: like in my head. People were getting headaches and stuff.
Speaker 2: I didn't feel it anywhere else. I was just like
Speaker 2: my voice was already fucked. We would have recorded this
Speaker 2: podcast two days ago, but I had to go on
Speaker 2: vocal rest because I sang too much over the weekend
Speaker 2: at Taylor Swift and stuff and just overused my voice.
Speaker 2: So yesterday I was trying to do vocal rest and
Speaker 2: then it was like it was honestly so scary outside
Speaker 2: people were driving poorly, like traffic was bad. It looked
Speaker 2: like everyone was trying to get out oftown because the
Speaker 2: city was on fire. It was really scary. And I
Speaker 2: know a lot of people in California and such have
Speaker 2: witnessed this kind of weather Colorado or the skies.
Speaker 1: It's it's terrifying.
Speaker 3: You're in a city grid and you can barely see
Speaker 3: the sky and there's like no fresh air breezing.
Speaker 2: Through five blocks down. You couldn't see the buildings. Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was that hazy. And this is our future, by
Speaker 2: the way, Like this is not like once, It'll be
Speaker 2: once in a while for a little bit. But I
Speaker 2: realized COVID was wearing masks inside, and the future is
Speaker 2: wearing masks outside. The only time you'll be able to
Speaker 2: not wear masks is inside in the future.
Speaker 1: I have an iron well going to personal.
Speaker 5: I have an optimistic, erroneous belief about this. I feel like,
Speaker 5: really yeah, I feel like with the forest fires, obviously,
Speaker 5: I believe in climate change, and I believe that climate
Speaker 5: change is exacerbating these forest fires and making them more
Speaker 5: intense and more frequent. Don't come at me for that.
Speaker 5: But I do believe that we have a history of
Speaker 5: not doing controlled burns, which is something that was that
Speaker 5: the Native Americans used to do hundreds of years ago
Speaker 5: to make sure that our forests didn't get overgrown. And
Speaker 5: in fact, for decades we had a policy in most
Speaker 5: major developed countries of just preserving forests without burning them,
Speaker 5: without cutting down trees, so that they would become overgrown
Speaker 5: and more likely to burn. And now with the climate changing,
Speaker 5: the fires are more likely to start and they're going
Speaker 5: to burn bigger. And I think what will happen eventually
Speaker 5: is the forest will be burned and they will be
Speaker 5: finned out, and we're less likely to experience these gigantic
Speaker 5: forest fires because they won't be they're all gonna burn,
Speaker 5: there won't be enough trees left to burn.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: You ever fly across the United States and go, there
Speaker 2: are so many goddamn trees you ever see, Like when
Speaker 2: you're flying into an area, you go, oh, there is
Speaker 2: his trees.
Speaker 1: Or you take a drive up the upstate and you go.
Speaker 6: There's so much forests happening, Like five percent of like
Speaker 6: North America.
Speaker 1: It's just some like low number whoa probably wrong.
Speaker 4: I just want to say I'm probably wrong, but I
Speaker 4: like better.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've once you've destroyed it all, there's nothing left
Speaker 2: to burn. I do like that theory. There's something interesting there.
Speaker 2: But it was but it grows badly depressing yesterday. Depressing yesterday,
Speaker 2: and I was worried the concert was going to be canceled.
Speaker 2: And you're right, Anya, it does grow back. I was
Speaker 2: just the thinking about all the birds and raccoons that.
Speaker 1: I was breathing in, the burn animals that were.
Speaker 2: Like what's happening, and the babies that are freshly born
Speaker 2: because it's springtime. All the baby animals, Like, that's where
Speaker 2: my mind goes.
Speaker 1: I don't really, they don't know where to go.
Speaker 5: And a lot of animals have have evolved awful. A
Speaker 5: lot of animals evolved to actually run through fire because yeah, because.
Speaker 1: Like they're at a Tony Robbins seminar.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so they gotta they want to experience the holy ghost.
Speaker 5: But they run through fire because historically fires have not
Speaker 5: been big enough for uh, they could just run straight
Speaker 5: through them and get to the other side and then
Speaker 5: be safe.
Speaker 1: Oh, right, now.
Speaker 5: The fires are so big that they might be evolved
Speaker 5: to run through the fire.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they and there's no way out.
Speaker 3: I just didn't answer you for this channel in San Diego,
Speaker 3: like right before this podcast, because they wanted to talk
Speaker 3: to former San diegost that were in New York.
Speaker 1: And the guy asked me for an on air clip.
Speaker 3: He goes, how so these fires like came from Canada,
Speaker 3: So what is your feeling about that?
Speaker 4: Like he wanted you to hate on Canada.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And then I don't know why I got infected
Speaker 3: by the San Diego fucking linguistic curse that you get
Speaker 3: when you're talking to San Diag's And I actually said,
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's a bomber, that's all I had.
Speaker 3: It's a bummer and it's a drag. I think I
Speaker 3: said it is harshing.
Speaker 5: I mean, Canadians are so polite. It's a surprise that
Speaker 5: they let that smoke come over here.
Speaker 2: I know. I was surprised to hear something catastrophic coming
Speaker 2: from Canada.
Speaker 1: I was like, really, Sarah, she had the funniest tweet.
Speaker 3: She's like, what if after the smoke clears, Canada's just gone,
Speaker 3: like it disappears in a haze.
Speaker 2: I was well, I was worried that they were going
Speaker 2: to cancel the show last night because you know Dave
Speaker 2: being able to sing, and he did.
Speaker 1: Howard Stern yesterday too, so I knew he'd been up all.
Speaker 2: You know, you have to get up at like three
Speaker 2: thirty in the morning to like prepare to be on
Speaker 2: for Howard at that time, Like it's so early. Not
Speaker 2: that he did hair and makeup or anything, but he
Speaker 2: even said at the concert, like, I will go very
Speaker 2: early so I could be sharp for the interview that
Speaker 2: happens early.
Speaker 1: So he got on stage instantly.
Speaker 2: He was like, I'm tired, But anyway, we went to
Speaker 2: the show, and Halla also went Laura Holly, my best
Speaker 2: friend from high school who notoriously told me in high
Speaker 2: school that in a disgusted voice.
Speaker 1: How I know you're listening.
Speaker 2: She just I remember, she was just like, you think
Speaker 2: you're gonna meet Dave Matthews?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 1: Oh my god?
Speaker 2: Yeah right, And I was like I will, and I
Speaker 2: really did.
Speaker 1: What was the conversation before met him?
Speaker 2: It was like me being like I'm gonna meet him someday,
Speaker 2: just being like sure of it, you know, and like
Speaker 2: talking to my friends about like when I meet him someday,
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: This or what you know. It was just a fantasizing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was like me using that book the power
Speaker 2: of the subconscious mind to like trick my mind into
Speaker 2: knowing that this was going to happen in the future
Speaker 2: without any doubt. And my subconscious mind made it happen.
Speaker 2: So you made which is what happened with that?
Speaker 4: You get her roped into this trip.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And she's a day fan and so and we
Speaker 2: were huge Dave fans in high school, so I thought
Speaker 2: it was I didn't realize it was a part of
Speaker 2: the story until I already invited her and she goes, Wow,
Speaker 2: this is the ultimate fuck you.
Speaker 1: To me in high school for you to like bring
Speaker 1: me to see you meet him.
Speaker 2: And the truth is she did see me meet him
Speaker 2: because after the show we got meet and greets. We
Speaker 2: like stayed up in this area, and the guy that
Speaker 2: was handing out the the wristbands, uh came up to
Speaker 2: me and gave me and my mom one and.
Speaker 1: Did not give holloween.
Speaker 2: But the thing was we were like, I am so
Speaker 2: conscious of meet and greets because I do them, and
Speaker 2: I knew Dave was tired and he had been up
Speaker 2: since probably four in the morning that day and had
Speaker 2: to do a sound check for two hours, he said,
Speaker 2: and it like he had a long day. I did
Speaker 2: not even want to meet him because it's just like
Speaker 2: it's too much, and we were and so I just
Speaker 2: I didn't want to add another person to it. And
Speaker 2: Holla was like, I'm fine, I don't care because Holly
Speaker 2: don't curR anyway, and she was just happy to witness it,
Speaker 2: and she was our It was as if she met him.
Speaker 2: She's up there, like right next to us all meeting him,
Speaker 2: and but it was so first of all, I get
Speaker 2: to the show and meet Brooklyn Decker because she's a
Speaker 2: Dave fan and she's on Dave Matthew's band radio being interviewed,
Speaker 2: and then I'm after her, and so we exchanged pleasantries
Speaker 2: and she's so cute and adorable and was wearing the
Speaker 2: cutest denim jumper that I wanted to get, and she
Speaker 2: had like a cropt like she had a Anya's length hair,
Speaker 2: and it really made me want to get it because
Speaker 2: I haven't seen that hair on like a tall blode like.
Speaker 2: She kind of has the same kind of body type
Speaker 2: as me. She would probably be offended if I said that,
Speaker 2: but I could kind of blur my eyes and be like, oh,
Speaker 2: I look cute with that hair and twenty pounds to
Speaker 2: thinner and anyway, so she was really nice. And then
Speaker 2: I went on air and then Ari, the guy who
Speaker 2: runs the channel, was like, so, we're gonna Dave tonight
Speaker 2: and I was like what. He's like, I think it'd
Speaker 2: be really cool. And he's just all over the place
Speaker 2: trying to run the boards and like figure out the
Speaker 2: timing of the show. And I'm like, well, what are
Speaker 2: we gonna say? And he's like, we're just gonna go
Speaker 2: up there for like four minutes before and Dave doesn't
Speaker 2: like to and I go four minutes just vamping. I go,
Speaker 2: I gotta have a plan, and he's like, no, we'll
Speaker 2: just do it. I'll talk a little bit, I'll bring
Speaker 2: you up. And I gave him specific instructions how to
Speaker 2: bring me up, because if you don't know when you're
Speaker 2: bringing someone on stage, like a lot of times, and
Speaker 2: this might help our listener. If you're ever introducing someone
Speaker 2: at a conference or like at a meeting at a
Speaker 2: work function in front of people, and you're introducing someone,
Speaker 2: make sure that their name is the last thing you said.
Speaker 1: So this is like a very great tip.
Speaker 2: It's nobody really knows this until you start hosting, because
Speaker 2: I didn't know it. But you just say, hey, are
Speaker 2: you guys ready for your next performer? Okay, you know
Speaker 2: them from blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: Please give it up for Nicki Glazer. You always say
Speaker 2: their name last because you go, are you guys ready.
Speaker 1: For Nicki Glazer?
Speaker 2: Okay, here she is, And then they don't really know
Speaker 2: when to clap, like and you gotta save the name
Speaker 2: for last because you're building the whole station.
Speaker 5: Yeah, people go and now welcome Nicki Glazer. You're gonna
Speaker 5: love her. She's gonna be great. Like people do that and.
Speaker 1: They trail off and people are like, I don't know when.
Speaker 2: To actually, at least with a Nikki Glazer, the applause
Speaker 2: is like, okay, now all together.
Speaker 1: So I gave him that.
Speaker 4: Yes, and now we're going to do the rings.
Speaker 2: It's like, what, Yeah, I'm gonna now pronounce Anya and
Speaker 2: Matt Nicki Glazer. I'm gonna make sure to say my
Speaker 2: name last when I do that. But yeah, it was
Speaker 2: so I was really like because he was so all
Speaker 2: over myself. Was like, you listen to me right now,
Speaker 2: you look at me. You say my name last. Okay,
Speaker 2: It's like, you do not say my name. You say
Speaker 2: it only once and it's the last thing you say.
Speaker 2: So whatever you say before that make it. And so
Speaker 2: he's like okay, and then he brings me up, and
Speaker 2: I did a few jokes about like, thanks to everyone
Speaker 2: for braving the apocalypse to be here. If you happen
Speaker 2: to see like any smoke on the stage, there's not
Speaker 2: like a smoke machine. Someone just left the door open,
Speaker 2: please alert and attendant. So I just like gave a
Speaker 2: little couple jokes and then we just were like and
Speaker 2: and Dave doesn't like to have it be like and
Speaker 2: Dave Matthews Man, he doesn't like that. He just likes
Speaker 2: it to like just gently start. So we were like,
Speaker 2: are you guys ready for the show? Okay, he'll be
Speaker 2: out a second. Yeah. We just walked off and then
Speaker 2: the show started, and as I'm walking out of the
Speaker 2: backstage area, he entered from the other side of the stage,
Speaker 2: so I didn't see him. But as I'm walking out
Speaker 2: of the back stage area, I could like head back
Speaker 2: to my seat. But then I saw like there's a
Speaker 2: gate up like to keep the front row from being
Speaker 2: like on the stage, So there's like a little area
Speaker 2: for like camera men to go. That's pretty much the
Speaker 2: front row, but then there's a gate behind the front row. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And I sat on the gate in front of the
Speaker 2: front row, and I just found a little nestled spot.
Speaker 2: I was four feet from Dave Matthews the entire time.
Speaker 2: He played one of my favorite songs, Gray Street, which
Speaker 2: if you have ever heard that, it really like that's
Speaker 2: a song that gets me through when I'm feeling really
Speaker 2: depressed because I feel like that girl in that song,
Speaker 2: And I love when men write songs about women being
Speaker 2: depressed and anxious. It just really turns me on when
Speaker 2: they like understand it's so much and that song really
Speaker 2: it was just so good, and all the fans are
Speaker 2: so nice, and they're all all the people there were
Speaker 2: like from DMB radio fan base that one ticket, so
Speaker 2: they're like ultimate fans. So we were just all singing
Speaker 2: long and he was struggling with lyrics to one part
Speaker 2: and we were all just like helping out. It was
Speaker 2: so cool, and he looked so good and he was
Speaker 2: so good on guitar, and it.
Speaker 1: Was cool to watch him.
Speaker 2: He's awesome. He looks great. He's never looked better. He's
Speaker 2: never looked better.
Speaker 1: He's awesome.
Speaker 2: And and Emil and my mom and Halla, who I
Speaker 2: brought are all in the back, and I touched them,
Speaker 2: being like, I can't leave the seat. If I leave,
Speaker 2: I can't get in front of the front row. I'm
Speaker 2: not even supposed to be here. The security guards are
Speaker 2: all being nice because they just saw me on stage,
Speaker 2: so they're like giving me a pass, but I have
Speaker 2: no right to be where I am, and I'm crouched
Speaker 2: down because I don't want to make a scene of it, right,
Speaker 2: And so I texted a Meal like I can't come
Speaker 2: back there, like I can't give up the spot go
Speaker 2: on without me, And so they just hung out and
Speaker 2: danced up Hala, just like dance upstairs. But then after Crush,
Speaker 2: which is my favorite song of all time, I was like,
Speaker 2: I can I can go find Halla and dance with her.
Speaker 2: So I went to the very back after that because
Speaker 2: I was like, I got to spend some of this
Speaker 2: concert with my friend. And we danced to Crash and
Speaker 2: Don't Drink the Water and some other songs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, And.
Speaker 2: As we're dancing, this guy comes up to Halla because
Speaker 2: Holla was dancing the whole time, and I guess he
Speaker 2: noticed and gives her one of.
Speaker 1: Dave's guitar picks.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, same as you and Taylor.
Speaker 2: Whoa, which I knew was a Dave guitar pick because
Speaker 2: I was up close and I saw the guitar picks
Speaker 2: he was using, and I was very fascinated because I
Speaker 2: use a very light pick and I was like, those
Speaker 2: look like light picks.
Speaker 1: It was a light pick.
Speaker 2: And a Meal, of all people, was the one to
Speaker 2: turn me onto light picks because he is a beginning
Speaker 2: guitar player too, and he was like, you haven't heard
Speaker 2: about light picks. Don't do the heavy ones, do use
Speaker 2: the light ones. And I'm like, light ones changed my life.
Speaker 2: And my dad always makes fun of me for using
Speaker 2: light ones because you're not a real guitar player if
Speaker 2: you use light picks, except Dave uses them. Because I
Speaker 2: got one because Halla gave it to me because she's
Speaker 2: a great friend.
Speaker 1: She gave me the guitar pick.
Speaker 2: And then the guy comes back again and gives Halla
Speaker 2: a set list what and we.
Speaker 1: Go, who is this guy.
Speaker 2: And so then Halla runs after him to be like,
Speaker 2: who are you, mystery man? And it's not a big place,
Speaker 2: so she could and he's like, I'm Dave's vocal coach
Speaker 2: and he's just one of these nice guys that takes
Speaker 2: it upon himself to find little things trinkets to give
Speaker 2: them to fans at the shows, which is must be
Speaker 2: such a fun thing to do. I did it at
Speaker 2: a Wilco show when I had an extra set list.
Speaker 2: I was like, I want to find the biggest Wilco
Speaker 2: fan that is going to freak out to get the
Speaker 2: set list because I had the other half of the
Speaker 2: set list because it was printed twice and I knew
Speaker 2: I was decided I was to have it, and so
Speaker 2: I was like, who am I gonna give it to.
Speaker 2: It's such a fun thing to like pick someone out.
Speaker 2: So he picked out Holler because she was dancing like crazy,
Speaker 2: and I go, oh my god, he's his vocal coach.
Speaker 2: I go, hala wait, go tell him I some might
Speaker 2: someday might need him. And so she ran back to
Speaker 2: him and was like, do you know who Nicki Glazer is?
Speaker 2: And he was like no, and she was like, once again,
Speaker 2: let me go get her. So I ran over and
Speaker 2: talked to him, and I was like, I know, I
Speaker 2: am way out of like I'm a comedian. I was
Speaker 2: on masked singer. I did pretty well in that. I
Speaker 2: was like, I have a vocal coach already, but who
Speaker 2: knows down the line what's gonna happen. I was like,
Speaker 2: I do not deserve you, but I can afford you.
Speaker 2: And I was like, I have the means to get
Speaker 2: to hire you if at any point you'd be into
Speaker 2: that down the line. And he was like, well, you
Speaker 2: don't want to mix up vocal coaches because they all
Speaker 2: have different ways of teaching, so you want to stick
Speaker 2: with one. And I was like, that's a really good point.
Speaker 1: You're right.
Speaker 2: So anyway, I got his number and then I'll tell
Speaker 2: you what happened when we met save Matthew's after this.
Speaker 2: So then after the show, I am not wanting to
Speaker 2: meet Dave because I'm like, he's had a long day
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 1: He was exhausted. During the show.
Speaker 2: He would get done with his song and be like oh,
Speaker 2: and he was like kept acknowledging that he was tired,
Speaker 2: but he was also awesome because he was so tired.
Speaker 2: He was a little bit loopy, and people would like
Speaker 2: yell out things and he would get distracted. He was
Speaker 2: talking way more than he ever talks, which in the
Speaker 2: Dave Matthews universe we call that Dave speak. So he
Speaker 2: was Dave speaking more than ever, which is just when
Speaker 2: Dave talks in between songs.
Speaker 1: And he was being.
Speaker 2: Hilarious and he was so fun and he was just
Speaker 2: loose and it was great. But I still was very
Speaker 2: conscious of as someone who's been on the other side
Speaker 2: of meet and greets. Even Emil and I were talking
Speaker 2: about what Dave was possibly doing backstage based on what
Speaker 2: I'm always doing in between the show and the meet
Speaker 2: and greet. He was like, he's probably putting back on
Speaker 2: his high heels and stuffing his face with like a
Speaker 2: rice cake and smoking a joint and being like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'll be on a second, Like how many are there?
Speaker 2: Like okay, that's cool, So do you think there's going
Speaker 2: to be more than that? Or like okay? And can
Speaker 2: can you tell them to have their phones ready? Like
Speaker 2: we were just like predicting what he would be doing.
Speaker 2: Even though I enjoyed meet and greets very very much,
Speaker 2: I was just like, I just don't want to make
Speaker 2: this anymore for him. So I was like, I'll probably
Speaker 2: just not do one because I don't need to. And
Speaker 2: then the guys came over and we're like, here's your passes.
Speaker 2: We were like why we shut and there it wasn't
Speaker 2: a ton of people. It was like twenty five people,
Speaker 2: and most everyone else was drunk. I was like, I'm
Speaker 2: not drunk. I'm not going to talk his head off.
Speaker 2: I'm going to be so respectful and just get in
Speaker 2: there and get out. I'm not going to tell him
Speaker 2: a story about how I love him. And in high
Speaker 2: school and Ari Ari, the guy from the radio show
Speaker 2: who I introduced him with, he knew about my Holla
Speaker 2: story of Holla telling me telling I'd never meet him.
Speaker 2: And he was like, you gotta tell him that. I'm
Speaker 2: gonna tell him that we'll bring up all it. And
Speaker 2: I go, Ari, you listen to me right now. You
Speaker 2: are not telling him that story.
Speaker 1: You're not.
Speaker 2: Because Ari was just tired and overworked. And I was like,
Speaker 2: and Ari even said to me shout out to Ari
Speaker 2: before the meet, and Greed. I was like, I really
Speaker 2: don't think I want to stay for the meet and Greed,
Speaker 2: he's had a long day. I think he should just
Speaker 2: like and he goes, what what, No, we are not
Speaker 2: just typical meet and greet. We are, it's not We're
Speaker 2: not just like fans, and I go, yes, we are.
Speaker 2: We're actually worse because at least people who are fans
Speaker 2: and get a meet and greet, they know where they're
Speaker 2: a fan.
Speaker 1: Dave is the talent.
Speaker 2: We have this weird thing where we're like, we're not
Speaker 2: really like them, We're like actually cool and we just
Speaker 2: want to like hang out with you, which is so
Speaker 2: much worse than just a normal person being like, nice
Speaker 2: to meet you.
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan.
Speaker 2: That is so much better than someone being like I'm
Speaker 2: There's always someone at my meet and greet who waits
Speaker 2: in the back of the line and we've called him
Speaker 2: out before on the podcast who thinks they're special and
Speaker 2: is like, I don't even want to picture. I like
Speaker 2: just want to like have a conversation with you. And
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's so much worse than a picture.
Speaker 1: They always say with a nag.
Speaker 3: They're like, I don't even care really about you, like
Speaker 3: you know what I.
Speaker 1: Mean, Yes, I don't even know.
Speaker 2: I guess like this just came with my ticket, this
Speaker 2: meet and greet, like, it's not even a big deal
Speaker 2: to meet, but I just like, I know you to behave.
Speaker 1: Like those people crying to meet you.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh yeah, God forbid you act enthusiastic right now.
Speaker 3: Or industry people that are just like yeah they walk
Speaker 3: back to a green room with you, You're like, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: this is over now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the That's what I said to Ari Igo.
Speaker 2: You're you, and I are worse you, especially because you
Speaker 2: are convinced that you're on the same industry is convinced
Speaker 2: they're on the same level as him, and you hang
Speaker 2: out longer and you don't realize no offense to Ari.
Speaker 2: He's awesome and everyone who works at Serious at that
Speaker 2: level is a great hang and I had a good
Speaker 2: time with them. But Dave doesn't want to hang out
Speaker 2: with you. There's just no way after a show. He
Speaker 2: wants to hang out with his family.
Speaker 3: I'm so glad you stayed because I'm sure Dave's clocked
Speaker 3: you in the audience.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, Nikki laz So he
Speaker 1: did it.
Speaker 2: There was no clocking. There's no eye contact, which I liked.
Speaker 2: I don't did you know who you were nines. I'm like,
Speaker 2: don't distract. Wait, I just wanted to say, people that
Speaker 2: bring signs. Even when Taylor Swift walked to the edge
Speaker 2: of the stage and was singing, I didn't want to
Speaker 2: like wave at her or go I love you because
Speaker 2: she's singing a song and I don't want to distract
Speaker 2: her from her song, right, So all I'm trying to
Speaker 2: do when she walked to the lip of the stage
Speaker 2: was sing the lyrics that were what she was singing,
Speaker 2: so that I would help her in some way and
Speaker 2: not distract, right. And so Dave is on stage and
Speaker 2: I'm I don't know some of the songs because some
Speaker 2: of the new stuff I don't know. So I was
Speaker 2: trying not to make eye contact. There was no icon
Speaker 2: to be made.
Speaker 1: But there was a girl with a.
Speaker 2: Sign, and I'm just like, stop, don't hold signs, like
Speaker 2: just like little signs, you know, Like I don't even
Speaker 2: know what it said, but it bothered me.
Speaker 1: But it's all sweet.
Speaker 2: I mean, we're all just fans trying to get by,
Speaker 2: But so I did. I wanted to wait in the
Speaker 2: back of the line because I wanted to. I said,
Speaker 2: I want to go last because I know the feeling
Speaker 2: of when the last person you have to meet, no
Speaker 2: matter how good the meet and greet, was the last.
Speaker 2: It's like seeing your car after a hike. You're like,
Speaker 2: I'm about to get to go take off my shoes.
Speaker 2: So I wanted to be that last person.
Speaker 4: You just want to have a conversation, not the picture.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasn't that guy. I wasn't the guy being
Speaker 2: like I wanted to take longer with you. It was
Speaker 2: like I wanted to be the fastest last person ever.
Speaker 2: I wanted to like buck the system and so but
Speaker 2: Ari was like, no, just get up here. You are
Speaker 2: not going to wait to the last person. You're Nicki Glazer.
Speaker 2: I'm like, I do not do not say that. He
Speaker 2: was a little mover and a shaker. So he pulls
Speaker 2: me to the front and and I just like walk
Speaker 2: up today. They're like it's Nicki Glazer and they like
Speaker 2: lead me to him and and.
Speaker 1: I just go, Hi, Dave, I'm the voice of DMB Radio.
Speaker 2: And he goes I can't even remember what he said,
Speaker 2: but based on the footage, it was something like I
Speaker 2: know who you are, come here, and he like, oh,
Speaker 2: grabs me to give me a hug. Anyone who he
Speaker 2: goes in for the hug. First for anyone who goes
Speaker 2: jiu jitsu who listens to this podcast, and I know
Speaker 2: you do. He did an arm drag on her.
Speaker 6: She reached her arm out to shake his hand and
Speaker 6: he like pulled her in and hugging this huge bear
Speaker 6: hug hug, huge hug lasted long.
Speaker 5: I saw the video when I first when I saw
Speaker 5: my first thought was that was a genuine hug.
Speaker 1: That was a genuine you win hug.
Speaker 2: He knew how much I mattered to him, and he
Speaker 2: was very it was it was so awesome and it
Speaker 2: was just like so I was just trying to like,
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't understand, like I I don't. I
Speaker 2: don't want to be indecent in talking about this, but
Speaker 2: he had much to do with my sexual awakening and
Speaker 2: my whole sexual identity, and like everything was just it
Speaker 2: was I got a rice pellet in my ass yesterday
Speaker 2: to to like help with my hormones. To oh, a
Speaker 2: rice pet not up my ass. Holl I thought, I
Speaker 2: got it up my ass in my asshole. Rice No,
Speaker 2: that would have horned me up.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, It's like the size of a rice pellet and
Speaker 2: it has hormones in it, and it cost me twenty
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars. I thought I was gonna get for
Speaker 2: free until they were like, it's twenty five hundred, and
Speaker 2: I was like, I guess, so you put.
Speaker 5: It in your Yeah, it's like, what's that called a
Speaker 5: uh when you got medicine your butt?
Speaker 2: It's not suppository because that's up your ass. They cut
Speaker 2: her butt cheek, they cut and slided it. I had
Speaker 2: no idea and by the way, I asked, no, Well,
Speaker 2: they put lytocane first, so that hurt. A shot of
Speaker 2: lytocane in my ass really really hurt. And then they
Speaker 2: carved your ass open. I had no idea. I thought
Speaker 2: it was just like a little like they just shoot
Speaker 2: it in with a you know, a shot like you're
Speaker 2: getting a vaccine. And I had no idea that it
Speaker 2: was like a minor surgery and it was no stitches
Speaker 2: or anything. And I was out the door in five minutes.
Speaker 2: But I have a huge bandage on my butt that's
Speaker 2: like bleeding a lot. And but in two weeks I'm
Speaker 2: supposed to start feeling the testosterone.
Speaker 3: Is this done by a doctor, like they know you
Speaker 3: actually need?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was I did blood work back in December
Speaker 2: and she was like, you have zero testosterone and oh
Speaker 2: what do I do? And she was like, well, we
Speaker 2: have this pellet thing, and my mom knows about the pellet.
Speaker 2: She was like, Oh, my friend Beth did the pellet
Speaker 2: and it changed her life. And I think I have
Speaker 2: to get it every six months and it's twenty dollars.
Speaker 5: Yeah, is this the reason.
Speaker 3: For the.
Speaker 2: Testosterone is? The lack of testosterone is absolutely so.
Speaker 3: That is humping everything I heard from my friend like
Speaker 3: it made her so horny.
Speaker 2: Well, I can't wait. I mean maybe, but this Dave
Speaker 2: thing I was so decent.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 2: I felt rejuvenated because he looked so good and he
Speaker 2: was so masculine and singing songs about love, like I
Speaker 2: felt a love in my heart and like a resurgence
Speaker 2: of like my womanhood.
Speaker 4: He's like an.
Speaker 3: Animal, like that video you said, the Girl's Chat. He's
Speaker 3: like sweating and like and you're just like, I cannot
Speaker 3: not imagine what this person looks like in bed, Like,
Speaker 3: he's clearly an animal.
Speaker 1: I just love the way he plays guitar. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: does his was like so loose. Oh the way he
Speaker 1: played guitar.
Speaker 2: I was obsessed with it looked like his hand was
Speaker 2: made of jelly like and my hand's always like and
Speaker 2: it made me realize, you just have to be very
Speaker 2: like casual.
Speaker 1: I was studying.
Speaker 2: I was it was really cool to be up close
Speaker 2: as someone who's just trying to learn how to play
Speaker 2: rhythmic guitar and study him and like see that what
Speaker 2: I thought, what his finger stylings on the fretboard are
Speaker 2: insane and his fingers do things that like my fingers
Speaker 2: would take years to learn those shapes and be able
Speaker 2: to stretch in those ways. But his strumming very simple,
Speaker 2: very cool and like almost like he's playing drums. But
Speaker 2: like I always thought he was like so intricate. But
Speaker 2: I was studying it from the angle I was studying
Speaker 2: it from, and I was like, oh, it's actually very
Speaker 2: simple strumming, but the rest of the things he's doing
Speaker 2: along the front board are very very complex. So I was,
Speaker 2: you know, heartened to see some of that, and I'm
Speaker 2: like so excited to attempt some of those songs today.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I think I can get some
Speaker 1: of these.
Speaker 3: This was a second time you've met him, correct, Yeah,
Speaker 3: so how did it compare?
Speaker 4: But the first I.
Speaker 2: Mean a thousand times better because the first one it
Speaker 2: was just it wasn't ideal. I just like said too much,
Speaker 2: and I like kind of cried a little bit, and
Speaker 2: I I and then I was in a room alone
Speaker 2: with him for a listening session and the whole funky
Speaker 2: you know this funky story. I think I've told this before,
Speaker 2: but I just he offered to play a song next
Speaker 2: from his album. We were at a listening party in
Speaker 2: a small room, so I've been closer to him than
Speaker 2: I was last night, four feet from him. I was
Speaker 2: one foot from him during for an hour listening to
Speaker 2: his new album five years ago and four years ago,
Speaker 2: and yeah, he was like, we got one more song
Speaker 2: to play.
Speaker 1: You guys want to hear something.
Speaker 2: You know, a little sad or something a little funky.
Speaker 2: And I had been holding in my like my energy
Speaker 2: the whole time because I'm just trying to keep it
Speaker 2: cool because I'm losing my mind, and it just decided
Speaker 2: to come out in that moment, and I was.
Speaker 1: Like fucking and I said it way too loud, and.
Speaker 2: I like hurt everyone's ears in the room, like it
Speaker 2: was a small commerce room. And Bob Abouoie, who was
Speaker 2: there from the Howard Certain show. He behind me, reaches
Speaker 2: for it and just puts a calming hand on my
Speaker 2: shoulder to like just sedate me a little bit because
Speaker 2: he knew that my energy was like weirding everyone out
Speaker 2: in the room. And then Dave went on and did
Speaker 2: not play a function. No one else volunteered a suggestion.
Speaker 2: He gave us two options and he played the other one.
Speaker 2: And then I couldn't have that be the last time
Speaker 2: he remembered me. So afterwards I followed him out and
Speaker 2: was like, I always knew I was gonna meet you.
Speaker 2: That's what You're the reason I ever did comedy because
Speaker 2: I wanted to get in the same sphere as you.
Speaker 1: And I said the word sphere a lot.
Speaker 2: It was like it was humiliated, and he just seems
Speaker 2: like overwhelmed by it and didn't know who I was.
Speaker 2: And this was much better because then after we met,
Speaker 2: after we took a picture together, and then my mom
Speaker 2: gets in the picture and he takes a picture with
Speaker 2: her and.
Speaker 1: Me, and then at the end it was like all.
Speaker 2: The serious people, not that I'm affiliated with him, but
Speaker 2: I am the voice of day Matthew's band radio. So
Speaker 2: they were like Nikki get into and I was on
Speaker 2: the edge and they were like, no, Nikki, get in
Speaker 2: the middle. And I was like, I'll crouch, and Dave
Speaker 2: crouched down next to me and put his face lush
Speaker 2: with mine. So I had Dave Matthew's face touching him
Speaker 2: out of here, right next to it, like we were.
Speaker 2: It was like the most into like and I was
Speaker 2: able to in that moment stop time and just realize
Speaker 2: that I am millimeters from kissing this man. It was
Speaker 2: just like it was very thrilling for a young Nicky
Speaker 2: Glazer a seventeen year old Nicky Glazer back then, of
Speaker 2: just like like our faces are touching, like this is
Speaker 2: the closest you can get to someone. And we held
Speaker 2: it for a while because of the picture, and he
Speaker 2: was being just being funny because I was only when crouching,
Speaker 2: so he was like, I'll crouch with her.
Speaker 1: And just face next to mine.
Speaker 2: It was so and I was like, I mean we
Speaker 2: left my mom and Halla and Emil. We couldn't get
Speaker 2: over it. We were like that was the most insane.
Speaker 2: It was just so fun. And to see Taylor Swift
Speaker 2: and Matthews in one week that close. It took a
Speaker 2: lot of effort. I have to say a lot of flying,
Speaker 2: a lot of sleeplessness, a lot of money being spent,
Speaker 2: a lot of money not being made, but it was
Speaker 2: obviously so worth it, and I just have to do
Speaker 2: more things like this.
Speaker 1: I love going to shows. I love well.
Speaker 5: The part of the story you left out was that
Speaker 5: Dave hugged you that close, he whispered in your ear.
Speaker 3: I remember that.
Speaker 1: He did say he did nice to.
Speaker 2: See you, you know, the la thing, and so I
Speaker 2: was like, no way, I think he just knows me.
Speaker 2: He contextualizes me in some way other than that. There's
Speaker 2: no way he remembers me from Funky and Sphere. There's
Speaker 2: no way it was I wasn't the same person, and
Speaker 2: that he would not have been excited.
Speaker 4: To see that person sounds like the name of a
Speaker 4: Dave song.
Speaker 1: It's their new album. Oh my God. Anyway, that's my
Speaker 1: Dave story.
