Speaker 2: Know, don't tell me, but doing out there?
Speaker 5: Who are you hiding from? You were like, nobody knows
Speaker 5: I'm out here.
Speaker 2: You know what does that mean? Well, it's because the industry.
Speaker 2: Well let's unback it.
Speaker 4: Because the industry if they think that you're not in
Speaker 4: LA or New York, like you won't get as much work,
Speaker 4: that that something happened to you, that you've you've given
Speaker 4: up in some way, And so everyone in LA thinks
Speaker 4: I'm in New York, and everyone in New York thinks
Speaker 4: I'm in LA. I kind of like to keep it
Speaker 4: that way. And I'm doing like the Na Bargatzi thing.
Speaker 4: I guess he's the only the Chappelle thing where you
Speaker 4: just like live somewhere else and you have like a
Speaker 4: normal life outside of this biz, and.
Speaker 5: You want to be what you want a healthy life.
Speaker 5: You want a healthy, fulfilled life.
Speaker 2: It's hard. I have nuts.
Speaker 5: You picked a life in comedy, dude, that's behind heart.
Speaker 4: I was just in couples therapy today talking about my
Speaker 4: boyfriend's you're a boyfriend. Yeah, so he lives here and
Speaker 4: we've been together.
Speaker 5: For how long?
Speaker 2: Really well off and on for ten years.
Speaker 5: Isn't your stand up like, yeah, whatever, I fuck whoever,
Speaker 5: I fucking do whatever that fucked I want.
Speaker 4: You haven't seen a special for a while, but yeah, no,
Speaker 4: Actually that is kind of what my stand up's about.
Speaker 2: You're not wrong. It is like, what does your boyfriend
Speaker 2: feel about your set?
Speaker 5: You're like, I just fucked this.
Speaker 2: Guy right before I got on stage. Fuck you.
Speaker 4: He's that guy, Jordan, his name is Yeah, No, he's
Speaker 4: he's He's okay with all my past stuff.
Speaker 2: He's very comfortable.
Speaker 4: It's hard to find someone who's secure enough to listen
Speaker 4: to me say all this stuff. And then the stuff
Speaker 4: I talk about about us always is I presented as
Speaker 4: my ex boyfriend so that he's not implicated, but it's
Speaker 4: also true because we've broken up.
Speaker 2: A bunch, so he is my ex.
Speaker 4: But we were just in couples therapy and the thing
Speaker 4: that he brought up for us to talk about, which
Speaker 4: is was our biggest fight last week, was he brought up, hey,
Speaker 4: you're taping a special coming up, You've got a huge
Speaker 4: tour and everything. Let's talk about where you should go
Speaker 4: on vacation at the end of the special, and I
Speaker 4: started almost crying and saying, I don't want to go
Speaker 4: on vacation. Vacations don't make me comfortable. I don't know
Speaker 4: even how to do them. And we're fighting about how
Speaker 4: I don't like to relax, and so, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 4: Being a comedian takes a certain type of you have
Speaker 4: to be sick in the head. That's what I was
Speaker 4: crying about in therapy is that I don't want to
Speaker 4: go on vacation with my a. You don't like vacation, no,
Speaker 4: because I feel guilty that I'm not getting anything done
Speaker 4: and I feel indulgent.
Speaker 2: I feel like the fact that we get to do
Speaker 2: what we.
Speaker 4: Do is already such a gift, Like I get paid
Speaker 4: so much money to be an idiot on stage.
Speaker 5: To you, that will help me because I go through
Speaker 5: that too. I actually think that your vacation is more
Speaker 5: productive for your work and your creativity and your writing
Speaker 5: then not going on vacation, stepping away from the pen
Speaker 5: and the pad or write. I would say that you would,
Speaker 5: you would be you would be filled with inspiration. You
Speaker 5: take your boyfriend to Greece.
Speaker 1: What's the last vacation, Eric?
Speaker 5: I just did two months. I did a month in
Speaker 5: Africa and a month in Africa, so long?
Speaker 1: What did you do?
Speaker 5: There's the longest vacation I ever did. I did Morocco
Speaker 5: and these two little equatorial islands called Yeah.
Speaker 4: And do you feel amazing? Do you feel you have
Speaker 4: new material? Do you feel have new inspiration.
Speaker 2: New inspiration, feel refreshed?
Speaker 5: No new material? I don't know anymore?
Speaker 6: Did you.
Speaker 5: Actually maybe this is why you have ten?
Speaker 1: I had won that, did you Moroccan?
Speaker 2: Rub thought? No, this is why I bought Eric.
Speaker 4: The reason that you like I was I'm obsessed with
Speaker 4: your special. For your your Netflix special from two, I
Speaker 4: forget what it was. I watched it during COVID was
Speaker 4: twenty from three. You say in the special that it's
Speaker 4: two thousand and six, as a joke and my boyfriend
Speaker 4: I were watching it the other night so I could
Speaker 4: have a little refresher and he was like, was this shot?
Speaker 4: I was like, no, this was, but it was because
Speaker 4: at some point it does seem the same. But no,
Speaker 4: your special is so funny, the bit that I'm I
Speaker 4: love more than anything. And I have played it for
Speaker 4: so many people, including Brian, who this was before we
Speaker 4: even knew you were coming on the show. And I
Speaker 4: was like, you, we were hanging out a lot recently,
Speaker 4: and I go, we just need to we need to
Speaker 4: watch the best people's, the best jokes of people. So
Speaker 4: I was like, you need to see this little trinket
Speaker 4: that Eric got from Cuba.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, that thing you didn't This thing you picked.
Speaker 4: Up at a like I guess you just picked it.
Speaker 5: Up at a little you know they have all those
Speaker 5: chochkey stores or they're selling tourists, Yeah, they're selling gring
Speaker 5: goes dumb suff It's like, yeah, my friend always says
Speaker 5: about that stuff when you get like a little snow
Speaker 5: globe and a little chochke that says like the country
Speaker 5: y're My friend just takes that. He picks it up
Speaker 5: and goes this goes into landfill, and this goes in
Speaker 5: a landfill, and this doesn't biodegrade, and this doesn't biodegrade.
Speaker 4: That's all I see when I go to targets is
Speaker 4: just all of this is going to be in a landfill.
Speaker 4: Just look at the just thousands of products and within
Speaker 4: two years most of it landfill. Insane, But that inspired
Speaker 4: one of my favorite bits ever. If you want to
Speaker 4: find it, it's about halfway through Eric special called Legalize Everything,
Speaker 4: and it's on Netflix and he's holding up this I
Speaker 4: don't know.
Speaker 2: There's like dangling spoons from it. You'll see it when
Speaker 2: you get to it.
Speaker 5: There's like wooden kitchen chokes that your grandma has. It's
Speaker 5: like life's a beach or whatever. Yeah, live, laugh, love
Speaker 5: and wine those.
Speaker 4: It inspired one of my favorite bits of all time
Speaker 4: and a special and then you go, it's your specials
Speaker 4: just packed to the brim with amazing stuff and I
Speaker 4: just loved it so much so. But now you're doing
Speaker 4: a podcast about bombing on stage, which I've really never
Speaker 4: seen you do.
Speaker 2: Well, but because you did it.
Speaker 5: I did it the other day at the Slipper Room
Speaker 5: in New York.
Speaker 2: Oh God, yeah, that r what happened. Were you doing
Speaker 2: what's his name? Show? No?
Speaker 5: I was doing my friend Sandy show, and I just like,
Speaker 5: I'm like, I gotta get back on the horse and
Speaker 5: try new stuff. And then like I did, and I bombed.
Speaker 5: I was like, no, I don't standing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 5: You're like a terminator, dude. You were so good at it.
Speaker 5: You write so much, you have so many like logged hours,
Speaker 5: so much killer material. You're a crusher.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 5: Where you get the fucking energy?
Speaker 4: It's so fucking My initials are energy, so it starts
Speaker 4: with that.
Speaker 5: But that's what I thought it was.
Speaker 4: The energy comes from the feeling like it's I think
Speaker 4: it's the only thing that I've ever been good at,
Speaker 4: and so I better just keep doing it. And also,
Speaker 4: no good ten thousand hours gets you to an expert level,
Speaker 4: so whether you're good at it or not, like if
Speaker 4: you just keep doing it, you it's like going to
Speaker 4: the gym, like you'll build.
Speaker 2: The muscle like it is an exercise. It is, you know,
Speaker 2: And I don't write off stage? Are you?
Speaker 4: Are you someone that like sits down with what's your
Speaker 4: writing process? I guess is these always like.
Speaker 5: It's always magic in alchemy to me. I never really
Speaker 5: have like a like people like like you know, you
Speaker 5: hear Seinfeld, like I write four hours in the morning,
Speaker 5: but like I need to. This is what I do.
Speaker 5: I have like a wisp of an idea or something
Speaker 5: I'm mad about or something, and I'll do I'll put
Speaker 5: it in a voice memo and it's not funny yet, yeah,
Speaker 5: and I'll say it over and over again. I'll listen
Speaker 5: back to the voice memoon. I'll kind of add to it,
Speaker 5: but it's not funny there. Then I have to get
Speaker 5: on stage and do it, and it usually tanks. And
Speaker 5: then I have to either just like put my table
Speaker 5: to my legs and completely give up on it, or
Speaker 5: I go no, no, no, there's something there. And then
Speaker 5: you kind of keep beating it up like all these
Speaker 5: different directions and then and then there's like a magic
Speaker 5: that comes from the pressure of the audience looking at you.
Speaker 5: And then it like kind of like galvanized. That's what
Speaker 5: it is.
Speaker 2: There's that pressure.
Speaker 4: There's that moment where that you start to feel them
Speaker 4: doubt you, and it's do or die, and you're like,
Speaker 4: it's it's this. It's like the strength that women summon
Speaker 4: when they pull a car off their child or whatever,
Speaker 4: Like I just have those moments where I.
Speaker 2: Will make this work.
Speaker 4: Something is going to happen to get this so that
Speaker 4: I don't because everyone's so nervous for me.
Speaker 2: I can't let them down.
Speaker 4: I have to be a hero in this moment and
Speaker 4: something happens.
Speaker 5: That pressure, it's that awkwardness, the pressure.
Speaker 2: I don't get anything done without pressure.
Speaker 5: I don't readiness.
Speaker 4: I write so many jokes on my way to shows
Speaker 4: while I'm walking on stage, like it has to be uh,
Speaker 4: there has to be some kind of accountability and yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean I.
Speaker 5: Now you're on Now, You're on the set of Kids
Speaker 5: in Corporation, You're on the set of Double Dare you
Speaker 5: know what I'm talking about? You know the pressure?
Speaker 2: If you don't know, my studio does look.
Speaker 5: Like the Colorado Clarissa explains it all. I'm familiar.
Speaker 4: Listen, nineties throwback was in when we designed the studio,
Speaker 4: and it's.
Speaker 5: A little when you're plugging your own show with your
Speaker 5: hat like merch.
Speaker 2: From your.
Speaker 4: Boy Island baby coming out October sixteenth, Why.
Speaker 5: Do you get me on f Boy Island?
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I would love to have you on that.
Speaker 5: Are you singing, why don't I just do what I'm
Speaker 5: single right now? And I would go on there, but
Speaker 5: don't don't have any contestents that would recognize me, which
Speaker 5: will be easy, but like, I want to go in
Speaker 5: there and be like a fucking crazy total great. I mean,
Speaker 5: that's just me being regular, But like, I want to
Speaker 5: go on. Can I go on? Like one episode? You
Speaker 5: can eliminate me after one episode immediately.
Speaker 2: First you're going to.
Speaker 5: Eliminate me immediately, But I want to be like a maniac.
Speaker 2: I love that so much.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say if you came on, like this
Speaker 4: show is mainly about what.
Speaker 5: I want to, like, eat peanut butter with my handle back,
Speaker 5: and I'd be like, all right, who's ovulating?
Speaker 4: Your confidence alone would be attractive. That's what I found
Speaker 4: on these shows, is that nothing else matters except that
Speaker 4: eating peanut butter with your fingers and asking who's ovulating?
Speaker 4: Like that's just a guy who doesn't give a fuck
Speaker 4: in these you know, mainly on the show.
Speaker 1: Is trying to elmd. That's not what you should do.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, maybe getting eliminated would. Weirdly, it's kind of
Speaker 5: like the first time when Trump won, he like wasn't
Speaker 5: trying to win the presidency. He was just like, Hey,
Speaker 5: I'm doing promotion for my new whatever, my new steaks
Speaker 5: or whatever. And then he won. He was like, shit,
Speaker 5: it'd be like that where I'd be like eating peanut
Speaker 5: butter with my fingers.
Speaker 2: You'd be elimination. Girls love it.
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, if you wanted to, if you wanted
Speaker 4: to get eliminated, you just come in and like kind
Speaker 4: of nervously say you look beautiful ladies and like shake
Speaker 4: their hands, and then you're fucking out.
Speaker 5: No one needs lame, lame?
Speaker 2: Are you worried at all?
Speaker 5: That?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 4: If I did a show that was had a theme,
Speaker 4: like a podcast with the theme, I'd be worried.
Speaker 2: I like, would run out of stories? Is that a
Speaker 2: worry of yours? Is that what? Oh?
Speaker 5: I ran out?
Speaker 2: I ran out of gas.
Speaker 5: Long halfway through, I'm like, oh yeah, somebody threw a
Speaker 5: bottle at you.
Speaker 2: Okay, whatever next.
Speaker 4: I mean, then it becomes a show about just bombing
Speaker 4: in life, because I think bombs.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what it is. It's about failure. It's not
Speaker 5: about just bombing on stage. It's about like failure. And
Speaker 5: I always open it up to like bombing, like just
Speaker 5: any the worst job you ever had, the worst day
Speaker 5: job you ever have. It's just like just the failures
Speaker 5: and trials and tribulations of life.
Speaker 2: Doesn't it suck that?
Speaker 4: Like we always get to a point in life where
Speaker 4: you think that all of your failures are behind you
Speaker 4: and they.
Speaker 2: You're grateful for them because they led you here.
Speaker 4: But like we all have to, like we're all gonna
Speaker 4: trip at some point in our lives coming up soon,
Speaker 4: and it's gonna be really embarrassing and you're gonna fall
Speaker 4: in the ground. Like I always think about how I
Speaker 4: have a bunch of trip and falls or like dropping
Speaker 4: things on my toe or like things.
Speaker 2: It's it's never gonna stop.
Speaker 4: Life is going to keep throwing bullshit at you, and
Speaker 4: I'm going to keep bombing, Like bombing is the worst
Speaker 4: feeling in the world, and I will keep doing it
Speaker 4: the rest of my career. It will never stop for me.
Speaker 4: There will be times on stage where it's so awkward,
Speaker 4: where I will question everything and want to cry when
Speaker 4: I get off stage, and I.
Speaker 2: Know that's in my future. It's going to probably happen
Speaker 2: this week on tour.
Speaker 1: Like thing you do is you bomb, You're dying is
Speaker 1: like really embarrassing, Like the last thing you do.
Speaker 5: Is so.
Speaker 1: Or you go, oh my god, Like that's like the
Speaker 1: most embarrassing. And when you ship your pants.
Speaker 2: Ship, don't you like does everyone do that?
Speaker 7: Everything stops yet it's so embarrassed. God, you gain pounds
Speaker 7: before when they draw the chalk out line, it's like
Speaker 7: half an inch bigger than if you would have they
Speaker 7: would have gotten two seconds before.
Speaker 2: That's so true. The one death that looks like so hot?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 4: Did you ever see one of the women in like
Speaker 4: the twenties who threw herself off a building and she
Speaker 4: falls on this car and she falls in like a
Speaker 4: beautiful way.
Speaker 2: You should look it up. She looked so hot. I
Speaker 2: was like that. I like more.
Speaker 3: Mickey has watched all nine to eleven footage. She's obsessed
Speaker 3: with Columbine. She's seeing every quo so.
Speaker 5: You're morbid fascinating.
Speaker 4: I don't watch like beheadings, I don't watch. I don't
Speaker 4: like watching people, even your show. I have had struggle
Speaker 4: struggles watching because I don't like people, even fate getting
Speaker 4: hurt or paunched or like.
Speaker 5: Falling Columbine and nine to eleven.
Speaker 4: It already happened, and I just I don't want to
Speaker 4: watch footage from it because there is no footage. That's
Speaker 4: what makes it like creepy. And the nine to eleven
Speaker 4: there's barely any footage from that, you know, like I
Speaker 4: don't know, there's not but you don't see people like.
Speaker 2: Actually hitting the ground and stuff, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's all like you.
Speaker 5: You know, they're remaking nine to eleven with all female ters.
Speaker 2: They should have done it a while ago. It's about time.
Speaker 3: Times up.
Speaker 5: It's Leslie Jones. Leslie Jones is the star.

Speaker 4: And are you worried you'll be recognized or does that even.
Speaker 5: Now now, I'm not worry about it. I don't think
Speaker 5: it's that kind.
Speaker 2: Of crowdy crowd. Do you do burning man?
Speaker 5: I was actually gonna do it this year. I always
Speaker 5: say like, I was like, nothing sounds appealing about it,
Speaker 5: it's hard to get to you gotta build ship, yawn,
Speaker 5: and then like barter, I'm like, huh, there's rules. Nothing
Speaker 5: sounded appealing. But this year I was like, I gotta go.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna do it. And then I conn't. I had
Speaker 5: work and I couldn't figure it.
Speaker 2: I Yeah, I get it.
Speaker 5: I want to. I'll do it. I'll do it just
Speaker 5: for the experience, even if I don't like it. I'll
Speaker 5: do it for the experience. And I'll do like the
Speaker 5: boogiest version. I will do the most suburban wos fucking.
Speaker 2: Uh glad to hear that. Yeah, I'll do that because
Speaker 2: you seem like I wouldn't do.
Speaker 5: The No, no burning man, I'm not. I'm sleeping on
Speaker 5: the ground and I'm gonna ship in a hole and
Speaker 5: ta up in my hand.
Speaker 4: No, because you like. I will say one thing about you.
Speaker 4: We met I probably fifteen years ago or something, probably longer.
Speaker 1: Than that.
Speaker 2: Chat Roulette specifically, I forget.
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess we met through Amy for through Schumer,
Speaker 4: and you've always been so nice to me, and you
Speaker 4: you had fame before I ever touched it, and you
Speaker 4: were still nice to me.
Speaker 2: That's true.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you started, you started on the scene. Maybe we
Speaker 4: were kind of maybe on the same thing, but I
Speaker 4: don't know. I always just kind of assumed you were
Speaker 4: ahead of me in the game. But you were just
Speaker 4: one person that was always so nice to me, and
Speaker 4: you still we haven't hung out, I haven't seen you
Speaker 4: in person. I can't even remember the last time, but
Speaker 4: you still send me invites to your birthday parties and
Speaker 4: stuff like.
Speaker 2: That, and I'm wondering, never come.
Speaker 4: I've never once been able to go, but I always
Speaker 4: want to and I'm always so touched, So please never
Speaker 4: stop sending those. I just wonder, like, how are you
Speaker 4: Are you just spending a whole day going through your
Speaker 4: phone just sending like how do you go about inviting
Speaker 4: people your party? Because if I'm getting an invite, there's
Speaker 4: thousands that are getting invites.
Speaker 5: I know my birthday's April fourth, and I know the
Speaker 5: last week of March. I carve out time, so I
Speaker 5: planned my birthday for about like four to five months. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and I know that there's a last week where and
Speaker 5: I've done it like almost like a ritual for like
Speaker 5: twelve years, where I text every I don't do a
Speaker 5: single group text, no, and I text everyone individually in
Speaker 5: my phone.
Speaker 2: It's incredible.
Speaker 5: No, it's sincere. It is like it's iconic. It's but
Speaker 5: it's a way I started doing it, and I just
Speaker 5: got into the rhythm of doing it.
Speaker 1: It's like a huge birthday party.
Speaker 5: Four to five months, a crazy, crazy birthday party. I
Speaker 5: used to be broken. I used to live in a
Speaker 5: little shithole apartment in Hollywood, and then when I started
Speaker 5: getting money, I started wasting it on my birthday party.
Speaker 5: And I would get like camels and talkies. I would
Speaker 5: live in I live in a tiny studio. I would
Speaker 5: get all these crazy exotic animals into my apartment and
Speaker 5: in the parking lot, and we would like do all
Speaker 5: these drugs, would huff ether, we would light off firecrackers.
Speaker 5: We would have like crazy nudists come by, and all
Speaker 5: these like noise bands, and it's grown from there. And
Speaker 5: last this year is my big four oh and learning crazy.
Speaker 5: Yeah now it's like now it's burning man. Yeah, now
Speaker 5: it's like now it's like gathering the juggle.
Speaker 2: Wa Wait, what are you looking for in a partner?
Speaker 4: Because I wait, well, let's figure that out when we way,
Speaker 4: let's get that's that's a great, great question we'll find
Speaker 4: out right when we get back from break. All right,
Speaker 4: we're back, Eric, expect that, Eric, what are you looking for?
Speaker 4: And what are you looking for in a partner? Anya
Speaker 4: does ask a great question, the.
Speaker 5: Usual polyamorous with like big old titties and a big
Speaker 5: ass body.
Speaker 4: Are you really looking for someone, Polly? Are you into
Speaker 4: that lifestyle?
Speaker 2: Have you tried it?
Speaker 5: I am looking I am looking for somebody. I used
Speaker 5: to not really date with purpose. I never really cared
Speaker 5: about long term relationships until recently, very recently, and I
Speaker 5: would say that I am looking for uh someone, This
Speaker 5: is it's all hack and cliche. What I'm aout to say.
Speaker 5: I'm going to say someone with the sense of humor,
Speaker 5: because and somebody who's a critical thinker, but sense of humor.
Speaker 5: I realized it all trickles down from there. Schumer said
Speaker 5: to me, she goes, you need somebody that has the
Speaker 5: ability to finish your jokes. Were you in with you?
Speaker 5: And I was like, that's totally true because sense of humor,
Speaker 5: if you guys can lock in on that, it tells
Speaker 5: you about the person's worldview, about their like ethics, about
Speaker 5: their personality. It really is, it really is. It really
Speaker 5: is the top ingredient because it informs all the other ingredients.
Speaker 2: So true, it is true, and it's like, it's not just.
Speaker 3: I was gonna ask what part of the world should
Speaker 3: we think this personnel?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so cliche to say sense of humor. And
Speaker 4: I think I roll my eyes when men say that
Speaker 4: most of the time because I used to. I had
Speaker 4: a bit about it and my act about how and
Speaker 4: it was true. They did studies that say men and
Speaker 4: women both look for sense of humor in the opposite sex.
Speaker 4: That's the number one thing they say they look for.
Speaker 4: But women define and women and men define some of
Speaker 4: humor differently. Women define sense of humor and a man
Speaker 4: is someone who makes them laugh, and men define sense
Speaker 4: of humor and a woman as a woman who laughs
Speaker 4: at their jokes. So it's like it's just a different
Speaker 4: but it doesn't sound like that's what you mean. But
Speaker 4: it can be as long as they get as long
Speaker 4: as they get should laugh.
Speaker 5: It should be both. It should be like laugh at
Speaker 5: your jokes but also joke together and be able to
Speaker 5: like add to each other's jokes. Yes, tells you about everything.
Speaker 5: It tells you about their personality, their worldview. So when
Speaker 5: you get back to the poly thing, I would think
Speaker 5: that critical thinker is.
Speaker 2: You want to date an improv true.
Speaker 1: Improp No.
Speaker 5: I think it's like it's like I want somebody who
Speaker 5: looks at the institutions of the world and challenges the
Speaker 5: institutions of the world, whether we like decide to act
Speaker 5: on each experiment with each institution. Some institutions are there,
Speaker 5: so there's no absolutes in nature. Some have their reasons.
Speaker 5: Some are they're typically sexist and home phobic and racist,
Speaker 5: but like, but like, most institutions of the world are
Speaker 5: tools of control. Uh So you know, marriage was based
Speaker 5: on a property transaction. So I think that just having
Speaker 5: somebody who is smart means they have a sense of humor.
Speaker 5: If they're smart, they're going to share a worldview with
Speaker 5: me where we look at each institution and really question
Speaker 5: of like is there like are we just following biological protocol?
Speaker 5: Should we as above biological protocol? Should we? Or are
Speaker 5: these A lot of them, A lot of institutions of
Speaker 5: older from Abrahamic religions, and they're just trying to control you,
Speaker 5: control happiness and your spirit and your ear.
Speaker 3: Is that hard to find someone that's like because I'm
Speaker 3: already like my brain is like, I'm thinking of so
Speaker 3: many girls I've met that are so much like you.
Speaker 2: But then they might not.
Speaker 3: Check every box, but they're like check check check, Polly
Speaker 3: funny big titties, not Brasilian.
Speaker 5: Big titties, pussy, but yeah, diarrhea.
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe not. It's I'm sorry, Nicky's edgy.
Speaker 5: So I try to like keep up with the edge,
Speaker 5: but I don't know, so like.
Speaker 7: I feel like, yeah, haven diarrhea, trying to be like
Speaker 7: I'm still agi too, You're not the only one.
Speaker 2: And then you guys are like, dude, inappropriate, No, you
Speaker 2: had us a penis quief?
Speaker 3: What was That's hard to find a woman who's like
Speaker 3: funny and hot and like holly and like like.
Speaker 2: They're not on riyah. Yeah, I think I think intelligent.
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that, Like there's no such thing as
Speaker 5: like Dan Savage has this quad.
Speaker 2: He goes, there's no such thing as the one.
Speaker 5: There's the at best, the zero point six y five,
Speaker 5: and you round that motherfucker up to one, so fucking perfect.
Speaker 5: Nobody is. Everybody's annoying eventually, I'm fucking annoying. Everybody's annoying eventually.
Speaker 5: And everybody you get, you get like close, but nobody
Speaker 5: is checks every single box. I don't even know if
Speaker 5: that's what it's about. Like, no, but everybody's gonna get
Speaker 5: on your nerves.
Speaker 4: Yeah about like we all and my girlfriends read this
Speaker 4: book about you know, how to attract a man and
Speaker 4: how to like just kind of teaching you how to settle,
Speaker 4: because what you're saying is we're always looking for the one,
Speaker 4: and it's like stop that there's no one. And it's
Speaker 4: I think the percentage that we always talk about with
Speaker 4: Noah and Anya and I is if they're fifty one
Speaker 4: percent good, like that's how little, because then keep them
Speaker 4: because it's so hard to find someone that is even that,
Speaker 4: And I.
Speaker 2: Think that's true.
Speaker 4: It's like just it's I have a bit about I
Speaker 4: hate to keep quoting my own fucking stupid act, but
Speaker 4: like people say, you should never settle, but that's what
Speaker 4: we all have to do eventually. You can't just keep
Speaker 4: looking forever because you're eventually going to get to a
Speaker 4: place where like no one really wants you if you
Speaker 4: keep waiting, and we can't. We don't ever have to
Speaker 4: settle because there are so many options all the time.
Speaker 5: Do you feel like you're saying too many options?
Speaker 4: And the poly thing, man, I'm on board with it too,
Speaker 4: Like I there are two people Brian and Anya just
Speaker 4: got married this summer, and Noah's engaged and not each other,
Speaker 4: but they're already.
Speaker 2: In separate cities, different coasts. But it's like I I tried.
Speaker 4: I'm always like supportive when my friends start doing this,
Speaker 4: and I have a lot of friends that are starting
Speaker 4: to have kids, and I just I suspect that they're
Speaker 4: all having kids because they're just kind of bored and
Speaker 4: that's just the next thing you do as And I'm
Speaker 4: trying to get at the meat of like, why do
Speaker 4: you actually want a kid? Is it because you actually
Speaker 4: this is the first I'm hearing you want one is
Speaker 4: in the last year, And it has nothing to do
Speaker 4: with the fact that you might be kind of bored
Speaker 4: or like I'm suspecting those things. I'm learning that there
Speaker 4: is much more to it than that, but marriage, for instance,
Speaker 4: Like I just I also am I'm of the same
Speaker 4: mind as you about that, and I look at and
Speaker 4: I don't talk about this a lot on my podcast,
Speaker 4: but you kind of brought up something about just the
Speaker 4: poly lifestyle.
Speaker 2: I think that.
Speaker 4: I'm more into that than most people are because I
Speaker 4: don't look at if if my boyfriend does not take
Speaker 4: me up on this, but I'm open to him having
Speaker 4: sexual relations with other people because I don't and.
Speaker 2: He's not open to me doing it. So it's not
Speaker 2: two ways. You could he wanted to.
Speaker 5: He comes out from underneath my table.
Speaker 2: You're just here, babe.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a because I just I look at sex
Speaker 4: kind of like, I don't know.
Speaker 2: People are like, how could he ever?
Speaker 4: I mean sometimes, but I just look at it like
Speaker 4: if he were to eat someone else's food, Like I
Speaker 4: cook you dinner every night, and you're going to get
Speaker 4: some food cooked by another woman, Like, I just don't
Speaker 4: see it as as long as I'm not going to
Speaker 4: get a disease from what he does, I just don't
Speaker 4: have it. I'm not trying to be a cool girl.
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to make people feel bad about monogamy.
Speaker 4: I just don't care.
Speaker 5: And that's how I always feel. But I'm in the minority.
Speaker 5: We're in the minority. Yeah, that people equate love with
Speaker 5: sexual exclusivity, and I think, yes, finding a partner and
Speaker 5: building a relationship is about building a life together and
Speaker 5: a home together, not about sexual long term sexual exclusivity.
Speaker 5: I think long term sexual exclusivity is is unnatural and
Speaker 5: we're not built to do it. But it's so beat
Speaker 5: into us societally that people people are encouraged to give
Speaker 5: into their jealousy instead of like turning down their jealousy.
Speaker 5: And jealousy is a selfish emotion. It's a natural emotion.
Speaker 5: We all experience it, and it is and I don't know,
Speaker 5: but you know, I don't know. I don't know. I
Speaker 5: don't know what the answer is.
Speaker 2: I don't know what the answer is either.
Speaker 4: But I think it's a lot of pressure to be
Speaker 4: someone's sole sexual partner forever. I think maybe that's why
Speaker 4: I'm into it, because I'm like, this is a lot
Speaker 4: of you know, I've said before years.
Speaker 5: The pressure, I think it relieved about whatever you want
Speaker 5: to call it, polyamory or being monogamoush or whatever. Relieves
Speaker 5: the pressure in a long term if you've liked it,
Speaker 5: because I'm talking like ten twenty years, if you've I
Speaker 5: think you have to establish a trust. I think you
Speaker 5: have to establish a foundation of trust, and you have
Speaker 5: to be I have a best friendship. And then.
Speaker 2: Once you've kind.
Speaker 4: Of I don't know, I just why do we get
Speaker 4: to have friends, Like there's why do we get to
Speaker 4: have multiple children? Why do we get to have multiple friends?
Speaker 4: Why do we get to every other part of our
Speaker 4: life where we have love in it. We get to
Speaker 4: have so many different ways to fulfill that, but when
Speaker 4: it comes to a relationship, it's one and done and
Speaker 4: there's supposed to be everything for you, and if they aren't,
Speaker 4: there's something wrong with you.
Speaker 2: That's I don't get that.
Speaker 5: Like my bestars a bullshit thing. It was the sexist thing.
Speaker 5: So basically it's a quote Dan Savage again, please do
Speaker 5: I love him? He said that men have never been
Speaker 5: monogamous for all of recorded him human history. They've had whatever,
Speaker 5: prostitutes and concubines and then they fucked their assistants and
Speaker 5: all that shit, fuck their secretary. And then sixty years
Speaker 5: ago when we gave when marriages became egalitarian relationships, instead
Speaker 5: of giving women the same freedom men always had, we
Speaker 5: gave men the same limitations women always had. And that's
Speaker 5: why the majority of marriages and a divorce and to
Speaker 5: you know, the average marriage the last two to three
Speaker 5: years and yeah, yeah, yeah, So instead of and we equate, because.
Speaker 2: Women didn't want to go out and fuck as much?
Speaker 2: Is that it? Like, why why didn't it go the
Speaker 2: other way way?
Speaker 4: Because men became women were too jealous to handle that.
Speaker 4: They wanted it for the sexism.
Speaker 5: Women were property like a dowry. A guy would pay,
Speaker 5: like the woman's father a dowry and he would like
Speaker 5: inherit like half his farm and shit like that.
Speaker 3: Still is that way with weddings, Like why did my
Speaker 3: dad hey for.
Speaker 2: My for our wedding or he became his dad is dead.
Speaker 5: It's all sexism. It's like it is it's it's it's
Speaker 5: because the property. Yeah yeah, and oh, thank you for passing.
Speaker 5: Like the dad passing the daughter off to the husband
Speaker 5: as a wedding ritual is like weird, it's creepy, like TikTok.
Speaker 4: The other day of this this dad dancing with his
Speaker 4: little daughter and it was like an adorable moment.
Speaker 2: She's like three and he's spinning around.
Speaker 4: She's like daddy, daddy, And the whole thing was caption
Speaker 4: and he put it out there.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to play this on her wedding day.
Speaker 4: It was like everything in this little girl's life is
Speaker 4: leading to her wedding day, Like why are we even
Speaker 4: referencing that, Like and and you know he's gonna be
Speaker 4: one of those dads. It's like, well, you got to
Speaker 4: get through me to get to her. Like it's just
Speaker 4: it's gross that we are all set up.
Speaker 2: To have to get married.
Speaker 4: People talk about it as soon as we're we it's
Speaker 4: one of you know, women start planning their weddings and
Speaker 4: being prepared to be mothers as children, and it's I
Speaker 4: remember being I remember being a child and feeling like
Speaker 4: this pressure like oh God, someday I got to be
Speaker 4: a mom and a wife, like I'm gonna have to
Speaker 4: do that, and just being like I don't want to
Speaker 4: get fucked by ment, you know, like it was just like, look,
Speaker 4: there there was this felt this weight in this pressure
Speaker 4: even back then. And and I think that's probably why
Speaker 4: I've rebelled against it for so long, because it just
Speaker 4: felt like I don't like being told what to do.
Speaker 2: And maybe that's keeping me.
Speaker 4: From pursuing marriage or pursuing children because it's I don't
Speaker 4: I'm trying to rebel against it. It may it might
Speaker 4: be something I really like, and I'm just trying to
Speaker 4: be obstinate.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't really know the answer, but I I can't imagine.
Speaker 4: I'm so scared that someone's telling me I can't fuck
Speaker 4: anyone the rest of my life, even.
Speaker 2: Though I'm not in it.
Speaker 4: I don't want to fuck anyone else, Like I'm happy
Speaker 4: with my boy.
Speaker 2: I don't want to be told I can't.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the principle of being like you can only
Speaker 5: have pepsi the rest of your life. You can never
Speaker 5: have a coke or Yeah, but it's a pretty good one.
Speaker 3: You much.
Speaker 4: So well, you'll figure this all out in Peru, figure
Speaker 4: it all out, pus all out into a bucket, and
Speaker 4: then you'll see it in the your bucket.
Speaker 1: Appeal cubistential fears that you're trying to resolve with ayahuasca.
Speaker 5: I don't want to go into it too academically, so
Speaker 5: I don't want to be like I have my list
Speaker 5: of existential fears and I have to That's what I
Speaker 5: would think your way out, you got to feel your
Speaker 5: way out. So I want to go in with not
Speaker 5: too much. I mean even it was like a little
Speaker 5: bit reluctant to talk about it here, just because I
Speaker 5: don't want the pressure of being like, OK, I got
Speaker 5: to figure this out and that I just want to
Speaker 5: kind of like have.
Speaker 2: You ever.
Speaker 1: Do you hike a lot? Is I mean, you didn't
Speaker 1: like burning man camping? Do you hike? Because is Machu
Speaker 1: Pachu like a pretty significant hike.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't say hiking Machu Peachu is like camping at
Speaker 5: burning Man.
Speaker 1: That is a false But it's a significant hike, is
Speaker 1: what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got a tour guy, you.
Speaker 2: Got some new boots.
Speaker 3: Trip to Peru?
Speaker 2: Have you done d MT?
Speaker 5: I did toad venom, which is a DMT derivative five
Speaker 5: d MT?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Was that bad? What have your trips been?
Speaker 4: I've never tripped, and I really want to and I'm
Speaker 4: terrified of it. But have you had bad trips though?
Speaker 4: And was it like the worst thing ever?
Speaker 5: Okay, bad? The only thing that gives me a bad
Speaker 5: trip is edible weed. Yeah, mushrooms are the best. I've
Speaker 5: only had good times on acid mushrooms, toad venom.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Do you go to therapy constantly?
Speaker 5: Did you start taking to the point where I think
Speaker 5: my therapist is like sick of me. They're like they're like,
Speaker 5: I don't know, man, just like.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a never ending process. And uh yeah, I
Speaker 4: think that's the compulsion to go on stage, is to
Speaker 4: like or to work all the time, is just not
Speaker 4: having to be alone with my thoughts.
Speaker 2: But it's like it's so bad in there. I don't
Speaker 2: really know. I think someone said it.
Speaker 4: I was listening to Malaney on Conan's podcast, and he
Speaker 4: was saying that Conan like he's like the real Conan,
Speaker 4: You're like a mean person.
Speaker 2: And I think one of.
Speaker 4: Conan's his assistant Sona was saying, yeah, Conan's actually mean.
Speaker 4: People don't know this about him, and John was saying, yeah,
Speaker 4: all comedians are like kind of pieces of shit, like
Speaker 4: when there's but I don't I don't think we all are.
Speaker 2: I think I'm a fairly the.
Speaker 5: Nicest guy I've ever What are they talking about?
Speaker 4: But you know what I'm saying, He's what he's talking
Speaker 4: about is John said that we went on his show
Speaker 4: to do stand up early on in his career and
Speaker 4: Conan would talk shit about the other guest being duds,
Speaker 4: and he really appreciated that Conan's a shit talker.
Speaker 2: What I think he means.
Speaker 4: Is like we all have, we're all kind of piece
Speaker 4: I guess what I am getting at is that I
Speaker 4: secretly think I'm a piece of shit, Like I always
Speaker 4: think like someone's gonna find out that I'm really a
Speaker 4: sociopath and I'm really like selfish and a bad person.
Speaker 4: I think that's my biggest fear in life. Do you
Speaker 4: ever do you have that? Or do you know you're
Speaker 4: a good person?
Speaker 5: I think I'm okay. I don't know. I don't I
Speaker 5: don't really know what you're talking What are you talking about?
Speaker 4: What I'm talking about is I think my biggest fear
Speaker 4: that I yeah, like my biggest fear.
Speaker 5: I think why I'm never think that? Can I go a.
Speaker 4: Step further, Eric and say that the fact that I'm
Speaker 4: saying I'm worried I'm a sociopath is my sociopathic brain
Speaker 4: trying to mislead people into thinking I'm not one by
Speaker 4: saying that or something. Yeah, but I'm crazy. Then I
Speaker 4: guess there's no point in me being in there. Sometimes
Speaker 4: I wonder what I do have a dark streak.
Speaker 2: I think that's what you're saying.
Speaker 5: Well, John was also, you can make a broad generalization.
Speaker 5: I think some comedians do and some comedians don't. But
Speaker 5: they're like, it's hard to make a broad generalization.
Speaker 4: You have a stock answer for why you're a comedian
Speaker 4: lined up, like what the formative thing in your life
Speaker 4: is that made you one?
Speaker 2: I think fran Lebowitz said the best.
Speaker 5: Quote.
Speaker 2: She goes.
Speaker 5: Talent is just the universe throwing random sprinkles across humanity,
Speaker 5: and it's just like you're good at basketball, you're good
Speaker 5: at ballet, you're good at piano, you're good at comedy.
Speaker 5: I can be like, oh, I can pathologize everything, Oh
Speaker 5: my dad didn't hug me enough and all that shit.
Speaker 5: But there's people who are depressed and anxious and their
Speaker 5: dad didn't hug them enough, and they're not funny at all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally not funny at all.
Speaker 5: I just did Neil Brennan's podcast and he actually said
Speaker 5: John Mulaney, who you just brought up, said the same thing.
Speaker 5: People are like, oh, you're depressive, that's why you're a comedian,
Speaker 5: and he goes, I know, depressed people who aren't funny
Speaker 5: at all. Totally Milanney said that. So I don't know.
Speaker 5: I think it's more of the fran Lebowitz thing, where
Speaker 5: like talent is just like random sprinkles.
Speaker 2: Across the enemy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think it's just the ni's language.
Speaker 2: You are because I like.
Speaker 5: Making everything bad. Oh god, it's because it's because you know,
Speaker 5: my mom never fucking took me to my kinsignia or whatever.
Speaker 5: The fuck.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I do think it's random sprinkles, but the
Speaker 4: randomness for which you receive this urge to want to
Speaker 4: make people like you on stage there, I would say,
Speaker 4: that's a random sprinkle that you got.
Speaker 2: You got a sprinkle of wanting to be like.
Speaker 5: Plenty of But there's plenty of people that want to
Speaker 5: be liked. Everyone wants to be liked. That is a
Speaker 5: human need. You want to be loved everyone, if everyone,
Speaker 5: every human on earth wants to be love unless it's
Speaker 5: like a fucking different.
Speaker 4: But they don't like, they don't want it as much
Speaker 4: as we do, because they would have, they would have
Speaker 4: found some way to get it, like we do all
Speaker 4: the time doing.
Speaker 5: A podcast everything they do. No, maybe they do, and
Speaker 5: they're just not good at comedy. I do think, sure,
Speaker 5: we do want the validation of strangers. We're like, stand
Speaker 5: up is very stand up is insane. It's like we go,
Speaker 5: it's it's super anxiety provoking and stressful. And I have
Speaker 5: been like shaking in my boots back stated before I go.
Speaker 5: Last night, I was shaking in my boots before I went.
Speaker 5: And it is insane that we do it. But I
Speaker 5: don't think what's the term causation with that correlation. I
Speaker 5: don't think like I don't think like, oh, we want
Speaker 5: to be loved by strangers and that's why we're going
Speaker 5: at comedy. It's like everybody wants to be loved. I
Speaker 5: don't know if everybody wants in different in what amount
Speaker 5: and how to measure that amount.
Speaker 2: But some people are satisfied.
Speaker 4: But the love that they get from a couple, like
Speaker 4: people in their lives, close to them on the daily,
Speaker 4: on their dog, on the couch, that like satisfies them
Speaker 4: enough that they don't need to get it elsewhere. I'm
Speaker 4: I don't like any comedians who like, go, oh my god,
Speaker 4: I'm so depressed and so interesting and my parents didn't
Speaker 4: love me enough.
Speaker 2: I don't like.
Speaker 4: I don't like to pathologize it that way either, but
Speaker 4: I do think that there is something. Let me ask
Speaker 4: you this, when someone's mad at you, are you able
Speaker 4: to handle that?
Speaker 5: No a mess? Need them to like me? And then
Speaker 5: I'm like, I'm stewing on it forever.
Speaker 4: Even if you're right, like, let's talk about something its
Speaker 4: It depends.
Speaker 5: It depends on the person in the situation. It's like
Speaker 5: if they are if it's like road rage, somebody cuts
Speaker 5: me off, be like goop. I'm like, fuck go you know,
Speaker 5: like that's not I'm not so invested in that, but
Speaker 5: that comes up in weird ways. I really need a
Speaker 5: bartender to like me. It's got to be that's got
Speaker 5: to be like the alcohol making me depressed or something. Yeah,
Speaker 5: like I really really need the bartender to like me
Speaker 5: for some reason. Yeah, the bartender doesn't. If the bartenders
Speaker 5: doesn't like me or they're having a bad day.
Speaker 1: It's cool and they have authority and they have the
Speaker 1: power to give you something you want.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they are so cool and they can just totally
Speaker 4: ignore you so effortlesslessly, and there's nothing you can do
Speaker 4: about There's no one to go, there's no manager to
Speaker 4: go talk to.
Speaker 2: They're they're the end all be all.
Speaker 4: And yeah, they have the peripheral vision of someone working
Speaker 4: at a delta desk too, where they can just pretend
Speaker 4: like they don't see you and you're right there. It's
Speaker 4: a it is that getting them to like you is
Speaker 4: thing that I don't drink anymore, but I really relate
Speaker 4: to that when.
Speaker 2: I used to it.
Speaker 5: When did you stop drinking?
Speaker 4: I was twenty seven, so a couple of years ago, No, uh,
Speaker 4: ten years ago. Uh no, and now it's been yeah,
Speaker 4: twenty eleven. So whenever that was, yeah, were you just
Speaker 4: drinking too much?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I was like blacking out every time, you know, Like
Speaker 4: to quote Malaney again, he had this joke that really
Speaker 4: resonated with me where I was like he was blackout
Speaker 4: after like two drinks and his doctor said, yeah, your
Speaker 4: brain just is like we know where this is going.
Speaker 4: Let's let's close down early. And so my brain just
Speaker 4: like knew this girl isn't gonna stop. Let's just we
Speaker 4: know where this is headed. And it was just getting embarrassing,
Speaker 4: like just yeah. But the real reason was the next
Speaker 4: day retelling stories to people and them going, Nikki, you
Speaker 4: told me this last night. And I wasn't like a
Speaker 4: sloppy drunk at least I didn't think so, because people
Speaker 4: would say, but you weren't drunk when you told me this,
Speaker 4: Like this is crazy. And then so eric I just
Speaker 4: started not telling people's stories because I was so scared
Speaker 4: of having someone go you told me this last night.
Speaker 2: So it was just it was just embarrassing.
Speaker 4: And I kind of was at a point in my
Speaker 4: career where I was like, oh, this is like I
Speaker 4: got a pilot at MTV. This is my first chance
Speaker 4: to like make it, and I don't want the reason
Speaker 4: I don't to be like I was hungover or whatever.
Speaker 2: So I stopped and then, you know, I started to drink.
Speaker 4: Yeah, every night, because you do sets every night, and
Speaker 4: that's that's how.
Speaker 5: You St Louis.
Speaker 2: I'm from sure, Yeah yeah, So.
Speaker 5: Is that like a Saint Louis thing? Like you drink
Speaker 5: every night, then you go to the steel mill in your.
Speaker 4: But you know, I left Saint Louis as soon as
Speaker 4: I graduated high school and then I never came back
Speaker 4: until COVID. So it wasn't like I grew up drinking
Speaker 4: Saint Louis. I think it was just like you to
Speaker 4: come back.
Speaker 5: What are you doing out there? Come back?
Speaker 4: I'll probably come back when I get a show or
Speaker 4: when you know, I'll get a place there. You know,
Speaker 4: we're just I'm nomadic, so I'll keep a place here
Speaker 4: and I'll come back there and I'll come back forgerous.
Speaker 2: What are you going to do for these birthdays?
Speaker 4: Let me just ask you about this, the burden of
Speaker 4: your birthday every fucking year, Like do you now feel like,
Speaker 4: oh I gotta have a party or do you look
Speaker 4: forward to it is there As you're getting older, is
Speaker 4: your like tolerance for partying? Is it becoming harder to
Speaker 4: you know, get it up to last all night and
Speaker 4: have camels and fucking flamethrowers.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I was trying to make it till like the sun rose,
Speaker 5: the sun rose. I was trying to make a sunrise
Speaker 5: this last birthday and like three thirty am rolled around
Speaker 5: and I snuck out of my own birthday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a new bird.
Speaker 5: I went to bed.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so you didn't have it at your house.
Speaker 5: I even texted my friend. I lie to my friend.
Speaker 5: I was like, I'm going to the after party. I
Speaker 5: think my friend caught me like trying to leave and
Speaker 5: I was like, I'm taking the over to the after party.
Speaker 5: They were like, where is it? I was like save.
Speaker 4: Yourself that I well, is this a part of you
Speaker 4: that like you feel like you got to keep up?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 4: Like you know, I always think about Bert Kreischer with
Speaker 4: taking his shirt off on stage and at some point
Speaker 4: he's like, oh, person about this.
Speaker 5: Before because I always say I always scream for the mountaintops,
Speaker 5: that I'm like a boring suburban nerd and I'm in bed. Yeah,
Speaker 5: like ten thirty pm every.
Speaker 2: Night you are You're like you have that side to yourself.
Speaker 5: But yeah, yeah, that's like the ID. You know, I
Speaker 5: access like the fun child like.
Speaker 2: But you're not doing it out of pressure.
Speaker 5: No, I'm doing it out of like real joy.
Speaker 4: Wait when we're talking about that, you getting wanting people
Speaker 4: to be just like joy?
Speaker 2: What's that? Marriage is all? She knows?
Speaker 4: When you get like when you feel like you're scared
Speaker 4: of people being mad at you, how can you do pranks? Then?
Speaker 2: Like is that a different part of sense?
Speaker 5: Nothing makes sense because I suffer from anxiety. Yeah, yet
Speaker 5: I do pranks until people people have pulled out knives
Speaker 5: on me. Yeah, I was prankant a guy that had
Speaker 5: like a loaded gun on him. So like, I'll put
Speaker 5: myself in these like extreme anxiety provoking situations. But like
Speaker 5: I hear the slightest creak at night when I'm home alone,
Speaker 5: and I'm like a burglar and it's like an eggcorn
Speaker 5: falling on my roof, you know, So I don't know,
Speaker 5: I don't make any sense.
Speaker 2: What do you treat yourself to? Like, what's what's like?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 2: Eric? And like really no, don't like the classic I
Speaker 2: I I've had.
Speaker 5: I was a little kid. But the vacation, the big
Speaker 5: vacation was a big, big.
Speaker 2: Where was it luxury?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 2: Do you stay the nicest places? Do you do yourself?
Speaker 5: The entire spectrum. I would do, like the real posh place,
Speaker 5: and then I would like sleep on a floor at
Speaker 5: my friend's house. Just a hashtag stay humble, y'all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I got and no because I.
Speaker 5: Was running out of money and my my business manager
Speaker 5: was like what are you doing? And then and then
Speaker 5: SAG went on strike when I was out there and
Speaker 5: I had to like cancel my comic Kong gig that
Speaker 5: was like a big pay day and I was going
Speaker 5: to do a.
Speaker 2: Movie and I had to Kisos.
Speaker 4: I was like, shit, yeah, are you a big spender?
Speaker 2: Like do you Is that like a problem for you ever?
Speaker 2: Sorry to know, not until recently.
Speaker 5: I've been trying. I'm trying to do the bi coastal
Speaker 5: thing and like to La and New York and that's
Speaker 5: like a very expensive venture. And then everybody went on
Speaker 5: strike and I was.
Speaker 4: Like, oh, and then you're now you're getting back out
Speaker 4: on the road.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's why I'm like playing Possum Ridge, Arkansas, coyote bladder, Mississippi.
Speaker 2: Boring question alert on you make the noise. Do you
Speaker 2: do you enjoy the road? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Do
Speaker 2: you bring friends?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that that is a big, big part of surviving it, yea,
Speaker 5: because like I have done it where I'm just alone
Speaker 5: and you're in like Des Moines for like five days
Speaker 5: in a La Quinta dude, that's yeah, oh yeah, and
Speaker 5: you're like you are just like there's something sad about
Speaker 5: Like I'm just I'm just like a single guy in
Speaker 5: al Quinta and des Moin Like during the day, I'm
Speaker 5: just like sitting with my Jimmy John's sub and MYS
Speaker 5: salt and vinegar chips. I have refreshing my email. That's
Speaker 5: like not I'm like what am I doing? Who am I?
Speaker 5: It's something really depressing about that. So yeah, if I
Speaker 5: can bring friends on a tour, I do.
Speaker 4: And then uh, and do you get nervous before shows?
Speaker 4: Like is it not a fun experience for you in
Speaker 4: terms of like anxiety or is there a streak that
Speaker 4: you hit after you feel like you've you've got it back,
Speaker 4: you know, where you're like, Okay, I don't have to
Speaker 4: like are you pacing around backstage or are you someone who can.
Speaker 5: Like just yeah. It depends on the night. Like last night,
Speaker 5: I was pacing. I was really like a real nervous
Speaker 5: before and it came out of nowhere. I was like,
Speaker 5: I was totally fine all day and then I got
Speaker 5: real nervous right before I went on. Then the show
Speaker 5: is great. It's a little bit like psychedelics, Like you're
Speaker 5: real nervous before you take second and even when they
Speaker 5: kick in, you're like, ah, should I.
Speaker 2: Have done that?
Speaker 5: And then you're like, fuck, that was a mistake, and
Speaker 5: then you you kind of cross over to the other
Speaker 5: side and you're like, oh, this is the best decision
Speaker 5: I fucking ever made, Like.
Speaker 4: I yeah, that's I mean, being on stage is a
Speaker 4: wild thing that not many of our listeners probably relate to.
Speaker 4: But it the fact that I'm never sure that if
Speaker 4: it's going to go well. I don't really get nervous anymore,
Speaker 4: and I should because things don't go well a lot
Speaker 4: of times, and I don't really have a plan, and
Speaker 4: I think being nervous gives you kind of a moment
Speaker 4: to come up with a plan and to actually focus.
Speaker 4: And I think I distract myself all day so that
Speaker 4: I don't have to think about what could go wrong.
Speaker 4: So I'll be in like a conversation right until they
Speaker 4: call my name, and then I'll go I'll finish that
Speaker 4: thought right now. And then I walk up on stage
Speaker 4: and people are always like, how does she do it?
Speaker 4: She can have this conversation. It doesn't seem she doesn't
Speaker 4: have to meditate before, and it's like, no, I'm fighting
Speaker 4: the fear that I feel constantly about what I'm about
Speaker 4: to do, because if I think about it too much,
Speaker 4: it freaks me out. But I will say about bombing, like,
Speaker 4: the most interesting thing that happens to me when I'm
Speaker 4: bombing is that the flop sweat happens instantly, but it happens.
Speaker 2: This has happened to me my whole life.
Speaker 4: I feel a trickle of a beat of sweat start
Speaker 4: on my lower back and then it starts its forms
Speaker 4: almost immediately when the bomb starts, like when it starts
Speaker 4: to just like the audience does not connect with me
Speaker 4: and they're questioning me and they're worried about me. The
Speaker 4: beat of sweat starts and then I have until the
Speaker 4: beat of sweat hits my ass crack.
Speaker 2: That's all.
Speaker 4: That's the time, I have to save it and to
Speaker 4: turn around. But if it hits my ass crack, that
Speaker 4: means I'll be crying off the stage.
Speaker 2: It's always that way. It's me. It's crazy.
Speaker 4: I've forms so quickly, and it's I remember figuring this
Speaker 4: out probably when I just started, like a year in.
Speaker 4: I was like, there's always that beat of sweat. Thank god,
Speaker 4: it doesn't happen on my brow. I'm not like wiping it,
Speaker 4: but it's right back there. And just recently that same
Speaker 4: thing happened and I had to I had to just
Speaker 4: fight for my not to hit my ass crack, and
Speaker 4: then I can I can dig out of it. It
Speaker 4: feels so good, though, when you are able to gain
Speaker 4: the trust back from the audience because the bomb is happening,
Speaker 4: because they are worried that you're about to crash the
Speaker 4: plane and that you don't know how to fly, and that.
Speaker 3: They got any tips for or have you guys found
Speaker 3: as comedians, have you found ways of getting out of
Speaker 3: that tailspin or nose dive that work? General tips?
Speaker 5: Testing new material is much harder than like relying on
Speaker 5: old materials. So if it's like you're testing new materials,
Speaker 5: sometimes you just have to bomb to figure.
Speaker 1: Also just acknowledge you're doing. Acknowledge what's happening.
Speaker 5: Yeah, acknowledge it. Be like, well that sucked or whatever. Yeah,
Speaker 5: sometimes that kills harder than any jog your Yeah, it's
Speaker 5: just it. Or do a little crowd work to get
Speaker 5: your sea legs back.
Speaker 2: But don't. This is what I've learned.
Speaker 5: When I start bombing, I can kind of start disassociating
Speaker 5: and looking up above their heads because I subconsciously conscious
Speaker 5: like I don't want to be here anymore. What it
Speaker 5: coming to me a long time agother Like, don't lean
Speaker 5: back and look up, like lean in and make keep
Speaker 5: making eye contact with them, keep connecting with them and
Speaker 5: making eye contact, and shove those jokes down their fucking throats.
Speaker 2: Don't give up.
Speaker 5: Don't give up because if they see you getting like
Speaker 5: a little weak in the knees, they're gonna feel stressed
Speaker 5: out and nervous. So really good tipt So keep making
Speaker 5: eye contact with them and lean in, like physically lean
Speaker 5: your head forward and into their faces. Just just like
Speaker 5: stay connected to them and stay stay in the room.
Speaker 5: Don't disassociate, stay stay.
Speaker 2: Lean into it.
Speaker 4: Like try to make make more of a connection when
Speaker 4: everything in your body is telling you to get the
Speaker 4: fuck out into flee.
Speaker 2: Do the opposite. That's that's actually a really good advice.
Speaker 5: All right, it helps. And then and then you can
Speaker 5: just start riffing and doing crowd work to kind of
Speaker 5: get your your shimmy.
Speaker 2: Back and then get them back. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I usually just start shitting on myself and doing almost
Speaker 4: the Gaffigan style, like what they are thinking, Like, man,
Speaker 4: she's funnier on YouTube. I wish you would just do
Speaker 4: her roast jokes. I paid this much money for this.
Speaker 2: We got it.
Speaker 4: We have a babysitter at home, Like I just start trying,
Speaker 4: you know, you just tell them what, Yeah, all of it.
Speaker 4: There's tricks to get out of it. But man, it's
Speaker 4: an uncomfortable feeling.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna let you go because you're leaving like microphone
Speaker 7: strawberry flavor.
Speaker 4: Oh I should not have done that, Eric, good you,
Speaker 4: Oh my god, hypnotic Eric, I will I just want
Speaker 4: to leave you with this. Is that actually licking this microphone,
Speaker 4: which is disgusting, reminds me of something that happened one
Speaker 4: time when I was It was we first both like
Speaker 4: popped on the scene. Was probably twenty thirteen, I was
Speaker 4: doing the red carpet at the MTV VMA's and you
Speaker 4: were on the red carpet as well, and I was
Speaker 4: so excited to see someone that I recognized that was
Speaker 4: my friend. It was like, oh, thank god you came
Speaker 4: through and you kissed me on the lips, and I
Speaker 4: was just like, it was really a funny moment.
Speaker 2: And then I realized and I saw a canceling. No,
Speaker 2: it was, and that's why she absolutely wanted it. But
Speaker 2: you're asking.
Speaker 4: I was wearing a dress and so right before that, though,
Speaker 4: I saw later in the evening you would like puked
Speaker 4: on the and then you like me like tongue kissed,
Speaker 4: and it was it was just one of those. It
Speaker 4: was a perfect Air Andre moment. I love you so much.
Speaker 4: Thank you for doing this podcast. Thank you for I'll
Speaker 4: do yours if you want to have me bombing.
Speaker 5: With Airnre today. I'm like so funny, like we're starting
Speaker 5: in five four three.

Speaker 4: All right, we're back from break. That was really fun
Speaker 4: with Eric Andre. Did everyone enjoy it?
Speaker 1: I didn't get to tell him about the time he
Speaker 1: was at my house.
Speaker 2: I know that compelling one story that I have. Wait,
Speaker 2: did you tell that on the air? Did you tell
Speaker 2: it on the air?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, let me just tell our listeners. When we found out.
Speaker 4: When we found out Eric Andre was coming on the show,
Speaker 4: Brian was very excited. He goes, I actually have an
Speaker 4: Eric Andre story to tell, and I was like, great,
Speaker 4: oh my god, this will be amazing.
Speaker 2: And we're like, what is it?
Speaker 4: So will you tell the story that the amazing Eric
Speaker 4: and story time.
Speaker 6: I was at my old apartment and I look out
Speaker 6: the window and in my own backyard is Eric Andrey.
Speaker 6: And I yelled to my girlfriend Allie, I go, look
Speaker 6: who's out there? She says that Eric Andrey and I go, yeah,
Speaker 6: Eric Andrey is in our yard.
Speaker 2: And then what happened?
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 4: Captain Arcadillo or maybe that's why Win didn't come up
Speaker 4: on the show.
Speaker 6: Had to bring it up like, well, isn't it interesting
Speaker 6: that you were in my yard and and why were
Speaker 6: you there?
Speaker 1: And what were you doing there? Crazy o The world's connected.
Speaker 4: I did mean to bring it up. We just it
Speaker 4: never did come up. But I guessing what if he
Speaker 4: trips on ayahuasca and all of a sudden he connects
Speaker 4: where he remembers Brian from he remembers seeing.
Speaker 1: He didn't see me, He didn't saw him out the window.
Speaker 5: He was out there doing in the window.
Speaker 3: What are the odds Eric andre would have any recollection
Speaker 3: of that day.
Speaker 1: Dude, That's what I'm curious about.
Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna remember this podcast.
Speaker 3: He didn't remember kissing Niggy Glazer after vomiting on a red.
Speaker 4: Eric Andrey has led such an illustrious, insane life.
Speaker 2: That's why I really am. Like you know, we talk.
Speaker 4: I do a lot of ship talking about celebrities who
Speaker 4: suck and who you know and I, but I also
Speaker 4: praise people who have just been cool. And Eric Andrey
Speaker 4: is just a person that has never needed to be.
Speaker 2: Cool to me. But you can tell, like he just said,
Speaker 2: he takes.
Speaker 4: Like five days before his birthday in to message everyone individually.
Speaker 4: I knew. I knew that would take him so long
Speaker 4: to do because every time I get a text to go.
Speaker 4: We have not texted since the last time you invited
Speaker 4: me to this birthday party. It's amazing that you That's
Speaker 4: why I keep my old number. Yeah, I get like
Speaker 4: a million texts a day. I think my numbers for
Speaker 4: sale online because I just have people texting me high
Speaker 4: Nikki with like a winkie emoji, and I'm like, you
Speaker 4: paid ten dollars to do this. I'm blocking you right now.
Speaker 4: This is pointless. But I because of things like that,
Speaker 4: I would be so sad if I missed out on
Speaker 4: an opportunity to get an invite to and someday I'll
Speaker 4: go to that party and I'll bring you all with me.
Speaker 3: But he's a sweet, genuine, real warm guy. Sweetie, Yeah
Speaker 3: you want to hang out with them? I was thinking, like,
Speaker 3: I know, I know two girls that he would be
Speaker 3: like b ff with that are I don't know about dating,
Speaker 3: but like, for sure, he seemed you know, Alana Glazer
Speaker 3: from Broad City, Like I bet you, Like, they just
Speaker 3: seem like they would be best friends. Like they seem
Speaker 3: simpatico totally.
Speaker 2: I agree. Yeah, and I love.
Speaker 3: Her and he's he seems like a doll.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's just one of the real ones.
Speaker 4: And I just want nothing but the best for that kid,
Speaker 4: but he I love. He's like he has no idea,
Speaker 4: he has no idea. I was in Saint Louis and
Speaker 4: now he's like, you.
Speaker 2: Got to get out of there.
Speaker 4: Everyone wants me to leave here so desperately, and I'm
Speaker 4: you know, I'm not like staying here forever. Even though
Speaker 4: I was today just honored by Explore Saint Louis, which
Speaker 4: is a company that is does promotional stuff for you know,
Speaker 4: to bring tourism to Saint Louis. And I went to
Speaker 4: the I was asked to do this thing. It was
Speaker 4: supposed to happen tomorrow and I'm gonna be in Chicago
Speaker 4: tomorrow or tomorrow. We're recording this a week early. So
Speaker 4: I was in Chicago last week. They're supposed to have
Speaker 4: it on that day and they were like, can you
Speaker 4: shoot a video for us? And then they said, actually
Speaker 4: we're doing it Thursday, and I was like, I'm actually
Speaker 4: in town. So I went to this thing at eleven
Speaker 4: o'clock today. It went till one point thirty. It was
Speaker 4: honoring all like people in Saint Louis who like, you know,
Speaker 4: helped tour in Saint Louis.
Speaker 2: This big, huge event.
Speaker 4: My brother in law and my mom went, we got
Speaker 4: like a free luncheon, and I had to give a
Speaker 4: little speech. I fucking killed because it was really otherwise
Speaker 4: a very dull Yeah, a dull affair going down.
Speaker 2: It's going down.
Speaker 4: But I had some good lines that my brother in
Speaker 4: law and my boyfriend helped me with. Yeah, I said,
Speaker 4: I'm so glad we had such a good year for
Speaker 4: tourism in Saint Louis, despite the fact that Taylor Swift
Speaker 4: didn't come here. I was like, but we did get
Speaker 4: Hoobastank and that helped immensely. I just did a classic
Speaker 4: Hooba stank lines, threw them under the bus, there's a
Speaker 4: new nickelback, or maybe the nickelback was them. And then
Speaker 4: I said, oh, there was this one thing, like, there's
Speaker 4: this video that throughout the show, like throughout the awards,
Speaker 4: this they would they played this video and it kept
Speaker 4: like popping up accidentally, and then they tossed to it
Speaker 4: and go, oh wait, we already played the marketing video.
Speaker 4: So right before my speech, I'd liked, I was like,
Speaker 4: before I speak, I'd like to toss to the marketing
Speaker 4: video again, and I go, wait, We've already seen it
Speaker 4: nine times.
Speaker 2: So that did well.
Speaker 4: And then I was also honored with Jackie Joyner Cursey
Speaker 4: for like our celebrity status of bringing attention to Saint Louis.
Speaker 4: It was really a lovely thing to receive because all
Speaker 4: I've ever wanted is to be acknowledged by, you know,
Speaker 4: the people I went to high school.
Speaker 2: You know, like you want to.
Speaker 4: The reason a lot of people get famous is this
Speaker 4: deep desire for all the people that didn't think you
Speaker 4: headed in you to like be successful, the hometown success,
Speaker 4: like Garden State. You want to go back and everyone
Speaker 4: to like love you. And I've always felt that from
Speaker 4: Saint Louis. But there's no reason. Saint Louis is a
Speaker 4: pretty conservative town in terms of like sense of humor,
Speaker 4: like entertainment. It's wholesome, it's about the cardinals, it's about sports,
Speaker 4: it's about Catholicism. So for them to embrace me, a
Speaker 4: dirty comedian who has made my money talking about my
Speaker 4: vagina and doing roast jokes that people would never even
Speaker 4: can imagine anyone would ever say, is pretty lovely of
Speaker 4: this town and shows kind of like the progress it's made,
Speaker 4: and it just makes it warms my heart. So it
Speaker 4: was me and Jackie Joyner Cursey or the two celebrities there,
Speaker 4: and I said, it was such an honor to share
Speaker 4: a table with her and share be at this lunch
Speaker 4: with her. And I have to say that, you know,
Speaker 4: but I want to say I did eat faster than her.
Speaker 4: And then final thought, yeah, I said, what was the
Speaker 4: other thing I said? I Oh, I said that, you know,
Speaker 4: because of Explore Saint Louis this, you know, Brandy, they
Speaker 4: got me to be able to sing the national anthem
Speaker 4: at the Thanksgiving Day parade and I was able to
Speaker 4: throw the first pitch at the Cardinals game, and I
Speaker 4: was like, you know, I thought they wanted people to
Speaker 4: come to Saint Louis because of those two events, thousands fled.
Speaker 2: And then they also, oh, I got to watch two.
Speaker 4: I got to watch Diana DeGarmo and Ace Young, two
Speaker 4: American Idol finalists, performed and opened the show with a
Speaker 4: whole song like you know that song that's like and
Speaker 4: the sunshine, then the sun shine, the sun whatever. So
Speaker 4: they saying that they were amazing, and so they opened
Speaker 4: the event with this like Broadway tune and then my mom.
Speaker 4: At one point they were like, everyone sing with us
Speaker 4: the sunshine and we're all singing and they see my
Speaker 4: mom singing. Ace Young, this like hot American Idol guy
Speaker 4: sees my mom singing and he's like, I'm coming to you.
Speaker 4: You're gonna sing with me, and so my mom, oh
Speaker 4: god no. And he came up and he put the
Speaker 4: mic in her face and they sang together and that
Speaker 4: was exciting. And then they at the end of it,
Speaker 4: they were they kind of gave to start the whole performance.
Speaker 2: They gave like their story.
Speaker 4: About them being a couple and how they didn't meet
Speaker 4: on American Idol, but they met on Broadway and they
Speaker 4: fell in love and they've been married for ten years
Speaker 4: and all this they've been together for ten years, married
Speaker 4: however long. And and I just whispered in Chris's ear
Speaker 4: because they're both like they're both like performers and they're
Speaker 4: both like singing, Like I don't know. I just was like,
Speaker 4: imagine how fucking toxic this relationship was, Like I just
Speaker 4: quietly because I just picture these two Broadway like I'm
Speaker 4: a star, No, I'm a star, and they're oh, it's
Speaker 4: like fighting with their vibranos, and I just pictured like
Speaker 4: this has gotta be fucking nuts, you know. And then
Speaker 4: Chris leaves the presentation early, right, and I've been like
Speaker 4: snarky little like, I don't imagine how toxic their relationship is.
Speaker 4: He leaves early because he has to go to something,
Speaker 4: and he goes. Look what I just witnessed. They walked
Speaker 4: the whole way this way, hand in hand, walking out
Speaker 4: and walked down this giant hallway down like they had
Speaker 4: like a mile walk that Chris walked with them back
Speaker 4: to the parking structure.
Speaker 2: And they held hands the entire time. So I had
Speaker 2: them so wrong.
Speaker 4: Not that that's a sign that everything's okay, but you
Speaker 4: can't do that if you're in a toxic relationship, you
Speaker 4: do not hold hands the entire time as a young
Speaker 4: couple that's been together for ten years. So I'm sorry
Speaker 4: I ever questioned your love, Diana DeGarmo, and as young,
Speaker 4: you were amazing today at the show, you like it
Speaker 4: was the best part of the whole show. Not to
Speaker 4: you know, I don't think anyone would be hurt by
Speaker 4: me saying that it was just so, but it was
Speaker 4: just funny for me to be like, there's no toxic
Speaker 4: and then they're holding hands the whole time, and that's
Speaker 4: your dream, Yeah, to like sing and then hold, well,
Speaker 4: not hold hands because Chris and I goes, Chris goes.
Speaker 2: They held hands longer in that walk than we have
Speaker 2: our entire.
Speaker 4: I'm glad you acknowledge it too, but like we both
Speaker 4: are not handholders.
Speaker 2: And I was on the show like that I want to.
Speaker 4: It's like me with hiking, like I don't want to,
Speaker 4: but I want to be someone who does it right.
Speaker 4: I want to want to. So it was really cute
Speaker 4: and had to love the little day. And today is
Speaker 4: my brother in law's birthday and he came with us too,
Speaker 4: and he's one of my favorite people in the world,
Speaker 4: and so I'm going over to celebrate his birthday right
Speaker 4: now with my family. I wanted to get the niece
Speaker 4: and nephews some presents because whenever I show up and
Speaker 4: I haven't seen them for two months because I was
Speaker 4: in LA and so this will be my first time
Speaker 4: seeing them.
Speaker 2: So I asked my sister, like, what what do the
Speaker 2: kids want?
Speaker 4: And she and Forrest is one and a half and
Speaker 4: the other kids are like five and six, right, and
Speaker 4: so I was like, she goes, oh, poppies into princess stuff.
Speaker 4: Arlow is obsessed with Halloween decorations and Forrest is really
Speaker 4: into trucks, and I was like, I'm not getting Forest
Speaker 4: a gift. He's not gonna remember, like I just I
Speaker 4: get gifts for to get like it was funny that
Speaker 4: you me, I forget about for it. Yeah, for like
Speaker 4: conscious beings now. But so I went to Target yesterday
Speaker 4: and got Forrest a truck, and I got Poppy a
Speaker 4: princess thing. And then I went to the Halloween section
Speaker 4: because I was like, this is awesome that like Arlow
Speaker 4: doesn't want just like a classic boy toy, Like he
Speaker 4: wants some fucked up Halloween like the weirder the better.
Speaker 4: So I got him this gigantic life size skeleton. But
Speaker 4: it's a pumpkin skeleton. It's uh and I'm so excited.
Speaker 4: I put it in the trunk like a dead body,
