Speaker 1: Nikki Guiser Podcast. Here's Nikki.
Speaker 2: Hello here, I am welcome to the show. It's Nicky
Speaker 2: Gazer Podcast. I am here in studio in Saint Louis
Speaker 2: in person with Brian Francie.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, this is the second or third time I'm
Speaker 3: here in this studio. For those of you watching at
Speaker 3: home on YouTube, the space does not feel anything like
Speaker 3: what it looks like on screen.
Speaker 1: Really, it's just does that mean?
Speaker 2: I mean behind the cameras is a mess. I mean
Speaker 2: it's like a hoarder's apartment. Like there's just so much shit,
Speaker 2: like anything we need to move out of the way.
Speaker 1: When we have company over, we just throw in here.
Speaker 1: You know. It's like a junk drawer of a room.
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, Like this side is like Michael's crafts and
Speaker 3: that side is like Hurricane Helen. Yeah, I know, but
Speaker 3: it feels it's it's simultaneu bigger and smaller than you
Speaker 3: would think it would be. Oh, like you feel like
Speaker 3: it's when when I'm watching you on the screen, which
Speaker 3: I do twice a week. Yeah, I'm always like it
Speaker 3: feels like you're in like a gigantic room in my mind.
Speaker 3: Whoa yeah, And then you get in here and you're like, well,
Speaker 3: this is actually not It's kind of like anything you see,
Speaker 3: like if you had to mount Rushmore and you look
Speaker 3: at it and everything smaller. Oh, that's tiny.
Speaker 2: Everything smaller, Like every you know, whenever you do a
Speaker 2: late night show, whenever you go to a studio taping
Speaker 2: or something, everything's always smaller. And then sometimes people are
Speaker 2: bigger than you think they would be.
Speaker 3: Sometimes like Noah, taller.
Speaker 1: Taller, that's right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, when I saw you for the first time two
Speaker 3: weeks ago, I was like, wow, she's much taller than
Speaker 3: I thought.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: People tell me I sometimes they say I'm taller, sometimes
Speaker 2: they say I'm shorter, sometimes they say I'm prettier.
Speaker 3: Is it I'm saying it that facetiously?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, you're much in person.
Speaker 3: That's not nice. That's not mean, it's weird.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I guess I take it as a compliment because it
Speaker 2: means like on TV, obviously I'm done up and really pretty.
Speaker 2: So when you're seeing me in person, I'm generally not.
Speaker 2: I'm doing either doing it myself or I'm not, and
Speaker 2: so that always I always do feel flattered by it.
Speaker 2: But I am a little bit like, huh, why wasn't
Speaker 2: I have that like a.
Speaker 3: Built in surprise to it that that type of compliment
Speaker 3: is like I thought you would be uglier. That's what
Speaker 3: it implies.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's a good point.
Speaker 3: Now that I'm seeing you surprised that you're prettier and
Speaker 3: pretty in person, I thought you'd be disgusting.
Speaker 1: I don't think it they're thinking.
Speaker 4: I think people when they meet Nikki in person, like
Speaker 4: you have that, like Jenna se Quah, there's like something
Speaker 4: about you that's like that like radiates, So when people
Speaker 4: see you, you're like captivating in person.
Speaker 2: That I've never heard that in my light head. Yes
Speaker 2: who yes, well, because I am.
Speaker 1: I am. Honestly.
Speaker 2: I got the darkest right hand ever got in my
Speaker 2: life last night because it was a teenager working at
Speaker 2: the place and she kind of didn't know what she
Speaker 2: was doing and it was just going on too light,
Speaker 2: and I was like, I can't beat her all night.
Speaker 2: So I was just, you know, like I feel bad
Speaker 2: for teenagers sometimes. Because I was reading this study about
Speaker 2: when people feel what is it when they It's called languishing.
Speaker 1: I didn't read something.
Speaker 2: I listened to a podcast about languish. It's not depression,
Speaker 2: but it's just like feeling like you don't have anything.
Speaker 3: That was very popular during COVID.
Speaker 1: Yes We're languishing. Yes.
Speaker 2: So I listened to this Hidden Brain podcast about it
Speaker 2: with Sean Garvvy Dentin, and I love his name.
Speaker 3: And so Harvey Dent is a villain from.
Speaker 1: Sean Garvey Denton. I think, is how that's quite a name.
Speaker 1: It's amazing.
Speaker 2: So he was talking to this expert about languishing and
Speaker 2: the guy was describing depression. It just sounded like depression,
Speaker 2: but he said that it really affects people in their
Speaker 2: twenties and then in their elderly age, because when you're young,
Speaker 2: no one really trusts you. Everyone's kind of rolling their
Speaker 2: eyes at you. You feel like you have so long
Speaker 2: to go for you can actually be taken seriously. And
Speaker 2: I kind of felt that last night. I was kind
Speaker 2: of judging this girl for being so young. She had
Speaker 2: like her homework out, like she was definitely like a
Speaker 2: high school student with like a high school sweatshirt on,
Speaker 2: and so I didn't I just as soon as we
Speaker 2: got in there, I well, first of all, she just
Speaker 2: kind of put me in there and didn't tell me
Speaker 2: the things that I know she does. I've never been
Speaker 2: there before. So first of all, she did not give me.
Speaker 2: It's thirty five dollars for your first time. I saw
Speaker 2: the sign. Later I paid fifty. She didn't give me
Speaker 2: the first time, even though she said, is this your first.
Speaker 1: Time here and entered all my information.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then she didn't put the lotion on my fingers.
Speaker 2: She didn't tell me to put like she she just assumed.
Speaker 2: She didn't assume I knew, because she didn't know.
Speaker 1: I knew, right, but I knew.
Speaker 2: So I got in there and I did everything, put
Speaker 2: the hairnut on, put the you know, lotion on my fingers, everything.
Speaker 2: And then she gets in there and she's and I'm
Speaker 2: like this poor seventeen year old girl who has to
Speaker 2: like look at my naked, elderly body. Like not so
Speaker 2: it's like a bad body, but it's like she shouldn't
Speaker 2: have to see naked people yet at her age, Like
Speaker 2: that's like something that you do when you learn a trade,
Speaker 2: you become a nurse, you kind of become immune to
Speaker 2: seeing naked.
Speaker 3: You need to be like a fifty something year old immigrant.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure you could be, but I think you just
Speaker 2: I don't think teenagers should be looking.
Speaker 3: At old Nahould be scooping ice cream for the summer, yes.
Speaker 2: And putting it on, slapping on that thing and saying
Speaker 2: what do you want to and then ringing the bell
Speaker 2: and they sing for you.
Speaker 3: That's all right.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: They should be lazily putting together sandwiches.
Speaker 3: Should be high, yes, And they were like, I hope
Speaker 3: I get to eat some rocky road in the back
Speaker 3: while I look at pictures of the guy I'm crushing on.
Speaker 2: They should be barely taking your order as they look
Speaker 2: at their phone, and instead she was doing homework and
Speaker 2: then she wow came like I saw things out like
Speaker 2: I don't mind it when I see it because it's
Speaker 2: kind of adorable. And I'm like, oh my god, I
Speaker 2: can't believe she's just not on her phone. Whenever teenagers
Speaker 2: aren't on the phone, I'm blown away. When they're like
Speaker 2: talking to each other and laughing and giggling like like
Speaker 2: kind of nineties style, I'm just like, I can't believe
Speaker 2: it because I don't.
Speaker 1: Even do that shit anymore.
Speaker 3: No, God, it's sad.
Speaker 2: They never knew to do it, so where did they
Speaker 2: pick that up? So anyway, maybe they're just sick of it,
Speaker 2: maybe because there it's not novelty to them. They grew
Speaker 2: up with this.
Speaker 3: Maybe there's a part of them that's like, you know what,
Speaker 3: it feels good and is cool to not have my phone.
Speaker 1: That would be really great.
Speaker 3: But that's a little optimistic.
Speaker 1: It is, but it does happen.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you see teens like present and not on their
Speaker 2: phones and like talking to each other. So she came
Speaker 2: in and I was immediately like, can you go darker?
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I needed darker. Like I was just like
Speaker 2: telling her what to do, and she was all for it.
Speaker 2: She was like, I want to get out of here
Speaker 2: too much, and so she doused me as I wanted
Speaker 2: to be doused. And then I got home and it
Speaker 2: was so dark. I'm the color of my dog. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's it's insane.
Speaker 1: I And I.
Speaker 2: Got this new tan remover though that like removes it.
Speaker 2: So I slapped that on today and like got some
Speaker 2: of it off. But I am darker than I've ever
Speaker 2: ever been.
Speaker 1: And she gets the spray tan for oh, we're being
Speaker 1: a thing today.
Speaker 2: Brian's in town to shoot a that you know, I
Speaker 2: do the Thursday night football thing this week. It's going
Speaker 2: to be on Friday, and because it's a really packed game.
Speaker 1: They didn't.
Speaker 2: They wanted us to maybe do a pre tape thing
Speaker 2: that they can just roll into the show instead of
Speaker 2: producing while we're there. And it saves us going to
Speaker 2: Kansas City on Friday right after Thanksgiving, Like we would
Speaker 2: have had to fly in on Thanksgiving. It would have
Speaker 2: been just I feel bad for all of them that
Speaker 2: have to give up their Thanksgiving. Yeah, thousands of dollars
Speaker 2: they're making. Is it less pressure? Like without it's like
Speaker 2: more pressure. It is way less fun. Like I was like,
Speaker 2: this sucks it really, it shucks pree tape because we
Speaker 2: have a new bit like before we were roasting the game,
Speaker 2: and it usually airs after the game, after even like
Speaker 2: most of the after show, So it's usually coming on
Speaker 2: at like eleven eleven thirty at night. So you can
Speaker 2: be a little bit more you know, out there.
Speaker 3: More toasty, as they say in the biz.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can be a you know how they say.
Speaker 2: That this is a day game Black Friday.
Speaker 1: Families are going to be at home.
Speaker 3: Families will gather around the television set waiting for Nicki's
Speaker 3: bit to pop up, And so she goes up there
Speaker 3: and says my vagina. Then they're gonna there's gonna be
Speaker 3: letters written into Amazon.
Speaker 1: Who said it's not gonna be good.
Speaker 3: I don't watch Amazon to hear some woman call Aaron
Speaker 3: Rodgers a cunt.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't do that in the daytime.
Speaker 2: Okay, the gold Dog is chewing on a cord and
Speaker 2: I don't really know what to do with it because
Speaker 2: it's so cute. You've ever seen talks of doing something dangerous,
Speaker 2: but it's so cute. You let it happens.
Speaker 1: Employee, you deserve, You want to get out. Hold on.

Speaker 2: and my.
Speaker 1: Blog is Poop was so funny.
Speaker 2: He would just write these really amazing essays just about
Speaker 2: like being in your twenties in New York and just
Speaker 2: like the culture and to be the man. He wrote
Speaker 2: a whole essay about the onus where it's like it
Speaker 2: was before, like the whole thing of like you can't
Speaker 2: text them back, they haven't texted you. Like in a relationship,
Speaker 2: there's always someone with the onus. And he wrote this
Speaker 2: whole thing that was really like it got a lot
Speaker 2: of traction back then. What kind of viral about like
Speaker 2: relationships when they're starting out and even when they you know,
Speaker 2: throughout a relationship, someone's always got the onus, someone's in charge.
Speaker 3: Yes, that's like the hand in Seinfeld.
Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, you got to have the hand.
Speaker 3: You gotta have the hand. Yes, So he this is
Speaker 3: more that was more about relationships. Bob's thing is more
Speaker 3: about friendships.
Speaker 2: It sounds no, it sounds like relationship relationship. Yeah, so
Speaker 2: he just ripped off SI.
Speaker 3: Well no, the hand is just back. Just to defend Bob.
Speaker 3: Hand is when you have the upper hand and you
Speaker 3: have you're holding something over somebody and so you have
Speaker 3: the power and onus means it sounds like you owe
Speaker 3: somebody something, you're responsible for delivering something to them.
Speaker 1: Burden is on you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, is a burden. Hand is power.
Speaker 2: I can't find any evidence of my blog is poop

Speaker 2: blog posts that he made, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: And so I was a huge fan and on his

Speaker 2: be like, I wonder if this guy that who's blog
Speaker 2: I follow? Who?
Speaker 3: I'm like your fan list?
Speaker 1: And so one day I was in college I got about.
Speaker 3: Your door open.
Speaker 1: It was late at night.
Speaker 2: I was like drunk and I heard and he only
Speaker 2: went on and I was just drunk enough to be like,
Speaker 2: I should let me just tell him I'm a fan,
Speaker 2: Like who, What's the worst that could happen? Because I
Speaker 2: think it was right after my friend had found uh
Speaker 2: Andy Blitz, who wrote for Conan. Yeah, she found him
Speaker 2: in the New York like online in the White pages
Speaker 2: in New York City and so we just called Andy
Speaker 2: Blitz and were like.
Speaker 1: We love you. You're a hider on Conan and.
Speaker 2: So I was like, yeah, this is and he seemed
Speaker 2: to like it. So we were like okay, people like
Speaker 2: when you reach out.
Speaker 3: Of course, especially back, this is not the days where
Speaker 3: you can just slide in to someone's DMS and ask
Speaker 3: them quick No.
Speaker 2: This was like you had a But it was also
Speaker 2: very easy to find people in a different kind of way.
Speaker 3: The fact that these the same boomers now who are
Speaker 3: all about like privacy and not giving my email to
Speaker 3: the Chase Bank insane. They had a published book printed
Speaker 3: out with their name, phone number, and address and it
Speaker 3: was in every phone book in the world.
Speaker 1: It's it's nuts.
Speaker 3: It's nuts.
Speaker 2: So I wrote to Bob and was like hey, and
Speaker 2: then we became friends on aim. And then I was
Speaker 2: planning a trip to New York City to go see
Speaker 2: Opie and Anthony show, which I was a fan of,
Speaker 2: and I this is such a nice Larentine nineties Jim
Speaker 2: Florentine was going to hook me up with like going

Speaker 2: I forget like what I was definitely wearing, Like how
Speaker 2: was your Tama go.
Speaker 1: Long gone at this point? But we were yeah, we
Speaker 1: were like a decade.
Speaker 2: We were less than a decade out of Tomagotchi's tour
Speaker 2: was so long.
Speaker 3: This was more of a giga pet era.
Speaker 2: We were also going to see Dimitri Martin in New York.
Speaker 2: We were going to see his one man show. Like
Speaker 2: it was so early two thousands comedy, Like early two
Speaker 2: thousands comedy was.
Speaker 1: Popping the fuck off.
Speaker 2: You think it's big now, it was like the coolest
Speaker 2: thing ever, especially as someone who was in comedy.
Speaker 3: It was more for It was more for comedy too.
Speaker 3: Nowadays you're like popular if you're a politics comedian, and
Speaker 3: back then it's like you're popular just for being a
Speaker 3: weird comedian.
Speaker 2: It was all yeah, like the undergrounds, nothing undergund sternsive scene.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So when to New York, hung out with Bob, became
Speaker 2: instant friends. I was in like a sketch he used
Speaker 2: to do a thing called The Post Show. It was
Speaker 2: like early before YouTube. They had like a sketch video
Speaker 2: show like that you could watch online. Every week they
Speaker 2: would post like two sketches and they did it for years,
Speaker 2: and I was in a bunch of them. But that
Speaker 2: was my debut on the internet. Acting was in The
Speaker 2: Post Show. And I think it was June two thousand
Speaker 2: and five when out there, and then then Bob and
Speaker 2: I became friends. And then he moved to LA in
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven when I was already out there,
Speaker 2: and then we hung out there and then he ended
Speaker 2: up writing.
Speaker 1: It was headwriter on Not Safe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's where I met Bob.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and so we've been friends for the whole time.
Speaker 2: He's an amazing person. And now he's writing on this
Speaker 2: and yeah, so we're they're all out here. We're shooting
Speaker 2: a thing today, like Christmas themed, and there's a house
Speaker 2: in Saint Louis we're renting that is just decorated for
Speaker 2: Christmas year round that people just shoot at.
Speaker 3: Oh cool, now, I think.
Speaker 1: That's what it is. So you buy this, it's like
Speaker 1: a set that you go to.
Speaker 3: There's a Yeah, there's a lot of places like that.
Speaker 3: I discovered this. This is like a thing that there's
Speaker 3: people who just like own properties and then they rented
Speaker 3: at to people to do shoots. I mean, obviously it's
Speaker 3: very popular in LA to do that, yeah and so,
Speaker 3: and they're usually like they look a certain way m hm.
Speaker 3: And you'd be surprised how frequently people need things like that,
Speaker 3: especially now.
Speaker 2: I believe there was one in Saint Louis. There's multiple
Speaker 2: ones in the most that Chris sent us, so Chris
Speaker 2: producing it here on the ground and then we are
Speaker 2: shooting it today and it's definitely harder than the roast
Speaker 2: because usually we just are roasting the game. And like,
Speaker 2: this is why I like this job is because there's
Speaker 2: no preparation, like you just have to do it and
Speaker 2: it is whatever it is. And this it is like
Speaker 2: if it's not good, it's like our fault and usually
Speaker 2: I can just blame it's like the timing, and it
Speaker 2: was this game was a very exciting and there wasn't
Speaker 2: a lot to do with this and this was just
Speaker 2: like we've had all the time to come up with
Speaker 2: the concept.
Speaker 1: We would all the time to write the jokes, and.
Speaker 3: To be fair, we didn't have all the time. It's
Speaker 3: still was like five days. Yes, you know it's still yeah,
Speaker 3: But I also think like that there's a lot of
Speaker 3: parameters here, and I think the bar should be a
Speaker 3: little bit lower because.
Speaker 1: Oh it's lower, it's lower. It a limbo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we're doing we're going under the bar. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And just to I just would like to sit into
Speaker 3: Brian's complement corner for a second for we're talking about
Speaker 3: Bob and everybody. This is everyone that's working on this
Speaker 3: is so funny and such good responsible workers, and oh my.
Speaker 2: God, I was like, I'm I told you guys last night.
Speaker 2: I was like, I'm like just like blown away at
Speaker 2: how hard you guys work. I just like, I have
Speaker 2: the best team. I love my whole team. That's a
Speaker 2: quote from I think you should leave, guy, But I
Speaker 2: really am like, I'm obsessed with how you guys are
Speaker 2: just such hard workers and like because there was a
Speaker 2: time like last night when I was staring at my
Speaker 2: computer screen and I was like, I can't think of
Speaker 2: any jokes.
Speaker 1: I don't want to do this anymore. I give up.
Speaker 1: I don't even care if it's trash. I literally give up.
Speaker 1: I don't care. I want to go to bed.
Speaker 2: I hate this and like no one else had that
Speaker 2: vibe and even though everyone was just as tired as
Speaker 2: I was, if not more. And it's just just good
Speaker 2: hard workers and so nice to have and everyone's so
Speaker 2: positive and there's no bad vibes like ever. No, and
Speaker 2: that's really rare to have no bad vibes. Yeah, no,
Speaker 2: like ego kind of things going on.
Speaker 3: It's just it's any ego he may have had was
Speaker 3: taken out of us over the last fifteen years of
Speaker 3: working in this business. That's that's what we get. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's what happens. You get to a certain point where
Speaker 3: you're just like, ego just is so squashed.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, I did an Ny Graham test on Sean this
Speaker 2: weekend because I'm like, wait, can I.
Speaker 3: Get Okay I thought he was a three? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: what makes sense? Well, yeah, I'm very curious. I think we.
Speaker 2: Gotta go to break and I'll tell you what he's
Speaker 2: going to be, because I know the listeners are dying
Speaker 2: to know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this guy that conor. Okay a feeling, Oh yes, yes,
Speaker 3: I have a feeling he might he's either a six
Speaker 3: or nine.
Speaker 2: Okay, we'll find out when we get back. So Sean
Speaker 2: is a three. I was at first he answered the
Speaker 2: questions and he was a one, and then we were
Speaker 2: reading it we were all.
Speaker 1: Like, no, you're not dude.
Speaker 3: You know who's a one, Chris Conny, You're a one? Yeah,
Speaker 3: Chris is not a one.
Speaker 1: Chris is the one.
Speaker 3: You are wrong.
Speaker 1: No, he did an extensive I don't think so.
Speaker 3: Why I think Chris is a seven.
Speaker 1: Helper?
Speaker 3: Seven is dude?
Speaker 1: He fits number one.
Speaker 2: He fits ones like insanely, like more more than I
Speaker 2: think you do. Perfectionist, loves to be Uh what are
Speaker 2: all the things about one?
Speaker 3: The problem with assessing people by their personality traits is
Speaker 3: that that that's not that's the misnomer about the enneagram, okay,
Speaker 3: is that you're just looking at their.
Speaker 2: Traits ethical, strong sense of right and wrong. Chris is
Speaker 2: very black and white, like things are good or bad.
Speaker 2: There's several well organized, orderly and detail oriented, always striving
Speaker 2: to improve things, but fears making mistakes.
Speaker 1: I mean that is so Chris.
Speaker 2: How many times are we in calls with Chris where
Speaker 2: we are like done with the call and he goes, hey,
Speaker 2: I just wanted to like check is everyone cool with this?
Speaker 2: Like there's do we want to give it ten more
Speaker 2: minutes of thought to maybe even come up with anything more,
Speaker 2: which is what I love about him, because I was
Speaker 2: told in therapy that ones and threes are the most
Speaker 2: successful couples ever because threes just just like, let's just
Speaker 2: move ahead, let's do this. They're really confident, they want
Speaker 2: to get they are totally wanting to get approval from everyone,
Speaker 2: so they'll work hard and they are go getters. But
Speaker 2: ones are like, we need to perfect it, you need
Speaker 2: to practice, let's go over it, and and together they
Speaker 2: become power couples.
Speaker 3: Okay, can take this from movie. Okay, I want to
Speaker 3: take it from you. I will get into it in
Speaker 3: depth detail, discussion about it.
Speaker 2: I gotta get yeahs Sean is a three.
Speaker 1: Sure, Okay, he.
Speaker 3: Does it for the applause like Lady.
Speaker 2: Gaga, the applause, the applause, applause, and so he but
Speaker 2: I was like Sean when we would so when we
Speaker 2: do these whatever, I have a writing team. We usually
Speaker 2: just have a Google Doc and everyone just writes in
Speaker 2: it and neverone No one doesn't write their initials next
Speaker 2: to things.
Speaker 1: They don't write it.
Speaker 2: It's just there's no no one knows who's writing what,
Speaker 2: like unless you are active in the dock and you
Speaker 2: see someone writing the joke and it says their little
Speaker 2: name next to it. Yeah, if you just look into
Speaker 2: the dock and there's no evidence of who wrote what. Right,
Speaker 2: So when I choose jokes, I don't know who did what.
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not going wow, Sean only got this many,
Speaker 2: Brian got this, like I'm not.
Speaker 1: I don't care. Everyone gets paid what they get paid,
Speaker 1: and then and then there's.
Speaker 3: Some people are having an off week and they don't
Speaker 3: write very many things, and it's just like, hey, I
Speaker 3: know that everyone here is contributing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I know that everyone gives as much as
Speaker 2: they can when they can.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Like I've had off weeks before too, So I've never
Speaker 2: even faulted.
Speaker 1: I would never even look into it.
Speaker 2: If I suspected someone wasn't contributing enough, I wouldn't be like, oh,
Speaker 2: did they not work hard enough, I'm not going to
Speaker 2: pay them as much this week or something like that.
Speaker 2: It's just like, I just know everyone can give what
Speaker 2: they can when they everyone does their best.
Speaker 1: But I said to Sean as a.
Speaker 2: Three that would really irritate me if I knew Nikki
Speaker 2: was choosing my jokes, but she didn't know she was
Speaker 2: choosing my jokes. She didn't know that out of the
Speaker 2: you know, thirty jokes she did, ten of them were mine,
Speaker 2: which is like it would be an insane you know percentage.
Speaker 2: And he said that he he used to count jokes
Speaker 2: and like talk about it when he would he was
Speaker 2: a writer on Cordon James Gordon, and when he first
Speaker 2: got there, he would like pay attention to like he
Speaker 2: would count how many jokes he got in the monologue
Speaker 2: and he would like talk about it amongst other writers
Speaker 2: and not brag, but kind of like maybe passive aggressively bragg.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and someone.
Speaker 2: Who was like the original writer at Letterman who like
Speaker 2: founded the idea of the.
Speaker 3: Top ten list Johnny punchline. Yeah, Johnny, he invented the punchline.
Speaker 2: He called him out and was like, Sean, nobody likes
Speaker 2: a jelly bean counter, and so Sewn immediately got insecure
Speaker 2: about it. And then he he is lost that he
Speaker 2: doesn't care anymore. It really is like the thing that
Speaker 2: drives him to be a three has been beaten out
Speaker 2: of him and he doesn't of course, he counts how
Speaker 2: many he gets an in for himself and maybe and
Speaker 2: I go, do you tell your wife?
Speaker 1: Do you tell anyone? Like this week?
Speaker 2: I get this because I always I would not be
Speaker 2: okay with that.
Speaker 1: I just wouldn't.
Speaker 3: Well, that's why I question whether or not he's a three,
Speaker 3: because if someone told him you can't be a jelly
Speaker 3: being counter which means you can't get the applause that
Speaker 3: you are so desperately want, he wouldn't have gone with that.
Speaker 3: He would have fought against that in some way.
Speaker 1: Well, I would say that you can change.
Speaker 2: You don't have to change, but you could just like anything,
Speaker 2: like the way he's scared of flying, but he's flown
Speaker 2: so much that he's lost the fear. Yeah, he's lost
Speaker 2: that drive of that and he's let go of it,
Speaker 2: which I think is a healthy thing, because a well
Speaker 2: functioning three isn't obsessed with approval. A three can be
Speaker 2: well functioning and not be caught up in constant you know, validation.
Speaker 3: Then that don't they then grow to become they grow
Speaker 3: towards their health number or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe that's a good Maybe he's something else now,
Speaker 2: But I was really fast.
Speaker 1: I'm just fascinated by that.
Speaker 2: And then this weekend we got into another talk with
Speaker 2: Anya about like why she makes art, and I was
Speaker 2: explaining to Sean about any grahamam like, you know, like
Speaker 2: you and I, we do it because we want people
Speaker 2: to like us desperately, and we want love, and people
Speaker 2: liking us means we're loved, and that's like what mainly
Speaker 2: drives us. And I go for Anya like she's a
Speaker 2: I think A nine, And I go, what drives Anya is.
Speaker 1: She wants to connect with people.
Speaker 2: That's why she makes music, like and she goes, no,
Speaker 2: it's not And I go what She's like, No, no, No,
Speaker 2: it's because I just I want to I want to
Speaker 2: say something.
Speaker 1: I like, have something in me that I need to say.
Speaker 1: It is nothing.
Speaker 2: I don't care how it lands at all. It's not
Speaker 2: about connecting with people. It's not about like I need
Speaker 2: people to hear my truth. It's about me just needing
Speaker 2: to say it.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what interesting.
Speaker 2: I It's so fascinating to me that two people can
Speaker 2: be drawn to do the same thing, become performers for
Speaker 2: completely different reasons.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you can have a performer in any number.
Speaker 1: I know, and it's I just it doesn't make sense
Speaker 1: to me. Why would you perform?
Speaker 2: Why would you want to stand in front of people
Speaker 2: and perform for them. If your goal was to just
Speaker 2: say something like I know that sounds crazy. I think
Speaker 2: it's rebably twenty percent on a good day of what
Speaker 2: motivates me to write.
Speaker 3: What's confusing about it is she's saying say something, but
Speaker 3: not like express her individuality.
Speaker 1: She wants to just say something like say I I'm
Speaker 1: sorry you heard. Is that she wants to be heard and.
Speaker 2: No, it's like she had She wants to synthesize her
Speaker 2: feelings into a thing so that.
Speaker 1: It's like this is this.
Speaker 2: It's not even about other people validating it, Like she
Speaker 2: doesn't care about the other hearing it.
Speaker 3: That might make her four.
Speaker 2: Then she's not someone who writes music and then is
Speaker 2: like guys, listen to it right away, like on girls Chat,
Speaker 2: whereas I'm like I do anything and I'm like, guys,
Speaker 2: look what I did?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 2: Like it's not about her getting like either connecting with people.
Speaker 2: It's it's just about her making things, Like she would
Speaker 2: still be a songwriter if she lived alone in a closet,
Speaker 2: Like she would still be making music if there was
Speaker 2: no other people on this planet, and I would have
Speaker 2: no point. There would be literally zero point for me
Speaker 2: to make any art if there was no.
Speaker 1: Other people on this planet. Yeah, zero reason. Do you agree?
Speaker 1: What would would you be motivated to write?
Speaker 3: Would I be motivated to write if there were zero
Speaker 3: people on this planet?
Speaker 2: One?
Speaker 1: If there's no one?
Speaker 3: I's extreme.
Speaker 1: I know that, Like you'd be not motived.
Speaker 3: To do anything, probably like I got to get meat
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 2: Okay, let's just say like if you could not ever
Speaker 2: put it out?
Speaker 3: Yeah, if I had, if I was just writing like
Speaker 3: my own personal journals, and.
Speaker 1: You would still write.
Speaker 3: And then posthumously maybe it was released nobody.
Speaker 1: No, you don't get that.
Speaker 2: No, that's something that's still validation in the afterlife, or
Speaker 2: at least I know.
Speaker 1: But think about how many people there are who don't
Speaker 1: have their art out like you put but they could know,
Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. They could don't put creativity in
Speaker 1: a box. No, I'm not.
Speaker 2: I'm learning that there's other way. I It's just it's
Speaker 2: almost the way I feel about when people want kids,
Speaker 2: or when people want to go hiking, or people want
Speaker 2: to rock climb without.
Speaker 1: Or do anything. I just go.
Speaker 2: I can't imagine there's no world in which I would
Speaker 2: ever want to do that, And it's just fascinating to
Speaker 2: me that people can be so different and motivated by
Speaker 2: so many different things. Because I I could, I relate
Speaker 2: to hermit crabs more than I relate to someone who
Speaker 2: would write a song in a vacuum. I literally, I like,
Speaker 2: I would relate to serial killers way more.
Speaker 1: And by the way, there's threes. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: serious killers threes. It is like that's the book. Sean
Speaker 1: was reading the list of famous threes. He's like, this
Speaker 1: isn't good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, We're like, don't forget Kevin Spacey like.
Speaker 3: It's it's it's healthy and unhealthy in every numb Yeah. Sure, sure,
Speaker 3: for various reasons.
Speaker 1: But I just don't. I just don't get it.
Speaker 3: I think I create things. I think more and more
Speaker 3: as I get older, I'm creating things for the sake
Speaker 3: of survival. Like if I could, if I could just
Speaker 3: write something and nobody knew I wrote it, but I
Speaker 3: still I would get a million dollars. I would do it.
Speaker 3: Then if nobody knew I wrote it and I did
Speaker 3: and I just get a million dollars, I I would
Speaker 3: do it for me.
Speaker 2: I think that's why I do things now too, it's
Speaker 2: just like, because well, let me just offer this. Having
Speaker 2: money is a way of getting validated. Sure you have
Speaker 2: money and you look rich, people like you more and
Speaker 2: you are more protected. It's all about like survival. I
Speaker 2: just want to like survive.
Speaker 3: There's the survival aspect of it. The second aspect of
Speaker 3: it is vindication and justice where I view myself even
Speaker 3: if I even if people didn't know I wrote something,
Speaker 3: if I got if I wrote a cartoon like for
Speaker 3: Fox and it went on TV and people liked it
Speaker 3: but they didn't know I was there, or like the
Speaker 3: public didn't know, but I still got the money for it,
Speaker 3: I would feel I would still value that because at
Speaker 3: least I believe now a good thing is out there
Speaker 3: instead of a shitty thing, okay, and that makes the
Speaker 3: world makes more sense to me. Motivation is like doing that.
Speaker 2: And then I would say I don't want to discount
Speaker 2: the fact that I like when I like making stuff
Speaker 2: for people like me, because I feel I think about
Speaker 2: what I felt like as a kid, or as like
Speaker 2: if I wasn't an artist as a woman, like what
Speaker 2: I would want to consume. So when people enjoy me,
Speaker 2: it's usually like because they're like me, and I'm making
Speaker 2: it for others like me who have did the insecurities.
Speaker 1: Or need to be validated in that way.
Speaker 2: So it's all about validation for for It's it's it
Speaker 2: comes from a selfish place, I'm sure, but I do
Speaker 2: really like when I when you know there are people
Speaker 2: that connect with it, and yeah, that where I feel
Speaker 2: like I meet fans and I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: we're we could be best friends or they go we're
Speaker 2: the same person or something like that. I guess that's
Speaker 2: innately selfish.
Speaker 3: But you're probably in this. You probably relate to anybody
Speaker 3: in your cluster.
Speaker 1: You're any threes, two.
Speaker 3: Threes, and fours are all in the I forgot which
Speaker 3: cluster there's you're not fear, you're not body, you're not
Speaker 3: gout your heart, foot you care about Yeah, yeah there's foot,
Speaker 3: anus and mouth. Think of the free clusters.
Speaker 2: I love doing these tests. And then just I just
Speaker 2: am so fascinated by just I just wanted to write
Speaker 2: a song because I just have a song my heart
Speaker 2: like that's so beautiful and like not not and and
Speaker 2: Anya like honestly could be she had like you know
Speaker 2: when she when she popped off with like when she
Speaker 2: was in the Twilight movie uh and had her you
Speaker 2: know music and Gray's Anatomy.
Speaker 1: She was on Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 2: She was like opening for big acts and she was
Speaker 2: on this trajectory and she was like this is too much,
Speaker 2: Like it's too much.
Speaker 1: I don't really like it.
Speaker 2: Like it was true, it was sensory overload. And she
Speaker 2: was just like, I just don't want it. Like with
Speaker 2: honest talent, I could be.
Speaker 1: Taylor s Left.
Speaker 2: I'm not joking you, like I don't have that talent,
Speaker 2: Like if I could have that musical kind of talent.
Speaker 2: I not to say that Anya squandered it or something
Speaker 2: like Anya has the best life that she.
Speaker 1: Wanted choice, yes, yes, but she it's like a movie.
Speaker 2: It's fascinating to me when you meet people who are
Speaker 2: so talented and they don't You're like, what, Like my
Speaker 2: sister is was always a like model pretty and always
Speaker 2: told that she should be a model.
Speaker 1: The fact that she never tried, Like.
Speaker 2: What a fucking way of a naturally live figure and
Speaker 2: angular bone structure, no acne skin texture that's perfect, No
Speaker 2: like hair that's shining like a horse's mane that's been
Speaker 2: groomed for you, like it's she is was perfect from
Speaker 2: head to toe and never was like I just don't
Speaker 2: want to make.
Speaker 1: Money off of this. I'm like, what a wist? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but also not because what a dumb life that is.
Speaker 1: In many ways, well, that's.
Speaker 3: How people feel about tall people when they don't play basketball.
Speaker 3: When you're in high school, if you're like six foot
Speaker 3: three and you're like not playing basketball, it's like, what
Speaker 3: do you do in man? Yeah, if you're a seven footer.
Speaker 3: There was my friend Rob Stern. Yeah, your friend Robstern.
Speaker 3: There was a guy he always talks about in high
Speaker 3: school or college who was seven feet tall, and everyone
Speaker 3: was like, what are you doing? Why are you not
Speaker 3: playing basketball? And just like I just don't like basketball.
Speaker 1: I just don't like it.
Speaker 3: One it's like you could the chances of entering the NBA,
Speaker 3: the chances of being a college scholarship if you're over
Speaker 3: seven foot tall is like seventy five percent. So you
Speaker 3: saying I just don't like basketball, saying you don't want
Speaker 3: a seventy five percent chance that your college is paid for,
Speaker 3: and then you have like a twenty five percent chance
Speaker 3: of at least at the time of getting not. Nowadays,
Speaker 3: everyone's a freak, but you had twenty five percent chance
Speaker 3: of getting into the NBA being seven feet.
Speaker 1: Or taller twenty million dollars a year.
Speaker 3: Or something, and it's like just to say I don't
Speaker 3: feel like it. It's like it's so shortsighted, because like
Speaker 3: you could you're gonna stop playing when you're twenty eight.
Speaker 2: But or you just don't like the game, like something
Speaker 2: like Andrea Augussy does not like tennis. He only played
Speaker 2: because he was his parents made him, and he was
Speaker 2: good at it, and reluctant like he's he hated that
Speaker 2: he was good at it.
Speaker 1: He hates tennis.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but now he's a billionaire and he can do
Speaker 3: whatever he wants for the rest of his miserable life.
Speaker 2: Heard Anna Gosteyer on Last Culture Says, and she was
Speaker 2: talking about how she was really good at violin and
Speaker 2: she could have been great, but she just didn't like
Speaker 2: violin even though she was really good at it.
Speaker 1: She just like put it down.
Speaker 2: It's just like I, truly ever was good at anything.
Speaker 2: I would have the only thing I was good at
Speaker 2: I did for a career, the first thing, like I
Speaker 2: would have jumped at all.
Speaker 1: All I was looking for was not enjoyment. It was
Speaker 1: not like, oh do I like this?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: It's am I good at it? And are people gonna?
Speaker 2: The only thing that makes me feel good is when
Speaker 2: people tell me I'm good.
Speaker 3: That's the great challenge of your life, yes, is to
Speaker 3: figure out things that give you that you find approval
Speaker 3: in just by being yourself.
Speaker 2: And that's why I was talking to Chris about the
Speaker 2: writing with you guys, and writing jokes and going over
Speaker 2: jokes and then trying them out and then going back
Speaker 2: and talking to you guys about it is my favorite.
Speaker 2: It's when I hear people talk about like I love
Speaker 2: the process, like I literally hate celebrities talking about like
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's just like getting into this character
Speaker 2: was my favorite part, Like sinking my teeth into this role,
Speaker 2: and just the camaraderie on set and like I just
Speaker 2: am always like rolling my eyes. It just seems like
Speaker 2: just a boiler plate like bullshit that people are just
Speaker 2: talking about in press interviews because they have to. You
Speaker 2: have to say you love your and you you love
Speaker 2: the you love the hard part of it. I literally
Speaker 2: my favorite thing is sitting around with us, like last
Speaker 2: night when we were going over Who's hot, Like who
Speaker 2: we all think is hot?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got way off track.
Speaker 3: You know, we were rolling down.
Speaker 2: Christ's kept trying to pull us back in, and I
Speaker 2: just like the cat's away. So he would go out
Speaker 2: to like walk Goldie and I'd be like, okay, wait,
Speaker 2: let's get back to like who's hot?
Speaker 1: Okay, Sidney Sweeney, what do you think?
Speaker 2: And then we got on a track of like we
Speaker 2: were talking about people and on Twitter, how funny Twitter
Speaker 2: was and twenty thirteen and who was big? And like
Speaker 2: where who is? Where are all those people that were huge
Speaker 2: on Twitter? We're just going off all these It's just
Speaker 2: so fun and then writing jokes and making ourselves laugh
Speaker 2: and that really I love that so much and it
Speaker 2: doesn't give me.
Speaker 1: I'm starting to enjoy something that.
Speaker 2: Isn't giving me the thing that like I'm not getting
Speaker 2: any I'm barely saying things. Sometimes I get a laugh,
Speaker 2: but I'm not like counting my laughs with you guys.
Speaker 2: Do they think I'm the best, Like I'm probably the
Speaker 2: least funny out of all of you, and like I
Speaker 2: still am having the best time. So I'm beginning to
Speaker 2: actually really enjoy that that part of like where I'm like, wow,
Speaker 2: I think I love this thing.
Speaker 1: That's kind of hard.
Speaker 3: Car with your three personality type.
Speaker 1: I like being around people.
Speaker 2: Maybe I love socializing, I love gossiping.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Leave that to the scientists.
Speaker 1: Leave it to them.
Speaker 2: Noah, what did Emily give you this weekend to tell
Speaker 2: me about or to ask me about?
Speaker 4: Okay, well, first of all, I want to hear about
Speaker 4: the tour this weekend because you had great shows. There's
Speaker 4: a bestie who wants to know what you thought of
Speaker 4: the audience in Memphis. Something happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, they were like the best audience of my life.
Speaker 2: I don't know, nothing happened. They were just so on
Speaker 2: board and there was just like a just sometimes like
Speaker 2: really like it's like a good date. Like it's maybe
Speaker 2: little awkward at the beginning, and then all of a
Speaker 2: sudden it just clicks and then you guys are like
Speaker 2: best friends. I've been doing this thing on stage though
Speaker 2: that I've always like, Usually on stage, I'm not like
Speaker 2: laughing a ton with my jokes and smiling a lot
Speaker 2: as I'm talking, like I'm in the joke, so I'm like.
Speaker 1: Feeling the way I would feel in the joke.
Speaker 2: I'm not like laughing at my own punchline because it's
Speaker 2: so funny, which, by the way, is a huge way
Speaker 2: that you like. Like everyone likes comedians that laugh at
Speaker 2: their own jokes. I fall for it, everyone enjoys it.
Speaker 2: But I always fight doing it because I just don't
Speaker 2: want to trick the audience into laughing for something else
Speaker 2: than they are actually laughing at. Right. That's why I
Speaker 2: don't look them in the eyes, because looking at audience
Speaker 2: members in the eyes forces them to laugh, because they
Speaker 2: put the feel put on the spot.
Speaker 1: That's why I don't laugh at my own jokes.
Speaker 2: That's why I don't have pauses in between jokes, because
Speaker 2: when there's a pause, audiences feel awkward and they start
Speaker 2: to applaud after a laugh, they'll just naturally do it.
Speaker 3: I don't like, not for me.
Speaker 2: I never want an audience to I was talking about
Speaker 2: this weekend in the car. I just don't want an audience.
Speaker 2: I want them to know what they're laughing at. I
Speaker 2: don't want to trick them subconsciously, because so often we
Speaker 2: are laughing at something and we don't know why we're laughing.
Speaker 3: Sometimes at a club like you do need to make
Speaker 3: eye contact with an audience if they're just like checked out.
Speaker 1: If they shall not do that, I would not.
Speaker 3: You wouldn't.
Speaker 1: Even my eyes won't let me.
Speaker 2: I blur my eyes and they will not unblur when
Speaker 2: I'm not saying, they just won't.
Speaker 3: But if the audience is like not even really like
Speaker 3: paying attention to you, or I guess it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: You just pull you just pushed through. Yes it does.
Speaker 2: I bombed recently with an audience that there was no
Speaker 2: reaction bombing, and I did not. I did not flinch
Speaker 2: even once. I just kept going. I did not acknowledge it.
Speaker 2: I mean I acknowledge it a couple of times, but
Speaker 2: I just kept going. It was it was I it
Speaker 2: was like walking over hot coals. It really it felt
Speaker 2: that way. It was like, I can't stop too long.
Speaker 2: It's too painful, So just keep going because this is
Speaker 2: gonna be over eventually.
Speaker 3: That's true.
Speaker 1: This cannot last forever.
Speaker 3: Setlander, You'll die.
Speaker 2: I I would have it was. It was the most
Speaker 2: painful thing of my life.
Speaker 1: I was. It was like falling down airs for a
Speaker 1: whole hour.
Speaker 2: Is how I like this place for not naming yeahsious
Speaker 2: talking about it on Kimmel. I'm just I think I'm
Speaker 2: going to try to work out the story and talk
Speaker 2: about it on Kimmel a couple of week weeks in
Speaker 2: two weeks, and so I need a story for Kimmel.
Speaker 2: Nothing really crazy has happened in my life, except that,
Speaker 2: like so.
Speaker 3: Many crazy things, you need to you need to recalibrate
Speaker 3: your evaluator of what's crazy and what's not, because to
Speaker 3: a normal person in the world, you do a crazy
Speaker 3: thing almost every day what you're doing interview you for
Speaker 3: interview magazine.
Speaker 1: That's true. I did have Kara del You got.
Speaker 3: To recalibrate because it's it's almost.
Speaker 1: You're like and she was the one that the a
Speaker 1: canator could not get.
Speaker 3: By the way, the a canator let me down so
Speaker 3: many times. The acator can't get anybody anywhere. It's at
Speaker 3: a touch. The a canator is like, is like, it's
Speaker 3: like Joe Biden. It's it's over the hill. It used
Speaker 3: to be so good, it used to be so good.
Speaker 3: It's okay, It's there's so many times where I would go, hey,
Speaker 3: the a conator want to try it, and then people
Speaker 3: like whatever, and then I do it and be like
Speaker 3: in five tribes.
Speaker 2: There is there's stuff like that. Have you ever done
Speaker 2: the quiz from New York Times that came out literally
Speaker 2: twelve years ago that finds what region of like what
Speaker 2: city you're from in the US, just by answering what
Speaker 2: you call things.
Speaker 3: Oh cool, like your.
Speaker 2: Regional dialect, how you pronounce things, how you what you
Speaker 2: call things, and it will get it down to like
Speaker 2: the neighborhood you're from in the UN.
Speaker 1: It's nuts, you guys. Just type in New York Times
Speaker 1: dot com, dot com, my poop is blog.
Speaker 2: It's like it's like dialect regional quiz or something like that,
Speaker 2: and you will blow your friend's minds.
Speaker 3: It's like the best part versus versus coke.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: One of the one of the questions is what do
Speaker 2: you call it when it's raining outside when the sun
Speaker 2: is out? Oh, it's like the sunshower. Yeah, devil beats
Speaker 2: his wife. There's like a there's so many where you're like,
Speaker 2: what the fuck. There's always D or E none of
Speaker 2: the above.
Speaker 1: We don't have a name for that.
Speaker 3: So it's either they go A a sunshower, be the
Speaker 3: devil beats his wife and then skips the E.
Speaker 2: No, there's other ones, but the last one is always
Speaker 2: we don't have a name for this and you can
Speaker 2: easily answer that because there's a lot of reasons where
Speaker 2: they don't have names for it.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, I call it a sunshower.
Speaker 1: We didn't have a name for it in Saint Louis.
Speaker 2: I was never a thing like or what do you

Speaker 3: when you go into a whole Foods you're like, oh, the

Speaker 3: So this, uh, yesterday or two days ago, I saw
Speaker 3: Wicked in theaters.
Speaker 1: And are you holding space?
Speaker 3: I'm holding space. Yeah, I want. I want to make
Speaker 3: sure that Cynthia Revo's well recognized. So let's just take
Speaker 3: a moment. No, I saw I saw Wicked last night
Speaker 3: or to night, and two things struck me. One is
Speaker 3: I was very heartened to see how many people went
Speaker 3: to the movie. It was like a pack theater and
Speaker 3: no shit, it's opening night. It's but this is not
Speaker 3: the case.
Speaker 2: But it's the biggest movie anticipation. We've been hearing about
Speaker 2: it for months and.
Speaker 3: Month with the advertising for Sure Tale.
Speaker 1: It's swift, It's swift, swifty, ish.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm both the same thing's happening for
Speaker 3: Gladiator too. I just hope that all of these like
Speaker 3: event movies kind of permeate, percolate throughout movies in general,
Speaker 3: and people remember that it's fun to go to the
Speaker 3: movie theater. And then people start to read.
Speaker 2: A take on Instagram or on Redd at them, like
Speaker 2: movie theaters suck?
Speaker 1: Why does everyone The only reason people want.
Speaker 2: Everyone to go back to movie theaters is because it's
Speaker 2: more profitable, Like you can enjoy a movie at home
Speaker 2: in the same way you don't. Like everyone goes like
Speaker 2: you gotta go to the movies again, and they're really
Speaker 2: building it up, and it's like I'm like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: we all have bought into this. Like going to AMC theater,
Speaker 2: you get you experience the magic, and it's like, no,
Speaker 2: it's just people want you to spend more money.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not how I feel.
Speaker 2: I feel like theater's got louder. Also, they're so loud loud.
Speaker 2: Put you, guys, are the biggest hack I can ever
Speaker 2: offer you. I do it in my plotate's classes because
Speaker 2: sometimes it's the speaker is just too loud and piercing.
Speaker 2: Go to the bathroom. Get some tissue. Take off the
Speaker 2: littlest piece and stick it in your ear. Choose tissue
Speaker 2: paper sure protect your ears if your ears are hurting,
Speaker 2: to not let it happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that's I'm so far gone.
Speaker 1: I understand that the theater, it's it's a you know.
Speaker 4: It's.
Speaker 3: The screen is superiors. And the best thing of all
Speaker 3: is you focus on the movie. It's there's no you
Speaker 3: don't take out your phone. You sit there and you're
Speaker 3: forced to watch the movie.
Speaker 2: But I've never heard someone say that they watched a
Speaker 2: movie at home and not didn't see the theater. And
Speaker 2: I go, well, you didn't really get to experience it
Speaker 2: like I don't.
Speaker 3: I shouldn't say that, especially in that voice.
Speaker 1: Although if someone listens to a book, I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't think they read a book as much as
Speaker 2: I still I will give you seventy five percent that
Speaker 2: you read.
Speaker 1: Up do you agree with it?
Speaker 3: To the audio book?
Speaker 1: I think audiobooks.
Speaker 2: When people say I read a book and they say audiobook,
Speaker 2: it's not like I don't respect you. I still think
Speaker 2: it's cool because you probably read more than I do,
Speaker 2: but you didn't read you're not absorbing it in the
Speaker 2: same way.
Speaker 1: There's got to be studies on this. There's no way
Speaker 1: it's the same.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're in there, nus.
Speaker 2: You're driving and listening to an audiobook where you can
Speaker 2: really focus.
Speaker 1: You're not listening.
Speaker 3: No, Yeah, you were in the army reserve. You didn't
Speaker 3: go to Afghanistan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what it feels like. It doesn't feel the same.
Speaker 2: But I did like the take of like just looking
Speaker 2: at these things that we're told or like that's the
Speaker 2: way it should be done. It's like, well, is someone
Speaker 2: making way more money by making us convinced that this
Speaker 2: is the way to take in this art?
Speaker 1: And the truth is yes, well.
Speaker 3: A different group of people are making money. People are
Speaker 3: still making money off of you if you're watching it
Speaker 3: at home.
Speaker 2: Not in the same way that they are making it.
Speaker 2: If you're streaming it, you're there. The margins on streaming
Speaker 2: are not even close. Where you can just buy a
Speaker 2: thing for buy a subscription for seven ninety is a
Speaker 2: fourteen ninety nine a month? Yeah, and then you have
Speaker 2: thousands of things to choose from. Is not the same
Speaker 2: margins as paying twenty five dollars for a ticket and
Speaker 2: then eight dollars for a bop cord.
Speaker 3: All that shit is bad though, all of that shit
Speaker 3: it's getting thousands of anything is bad for that's no,
Speaker 3: it's not.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's good, But it was just an
Speaker 2: interesting take that I was like, Oh, I have just
Speaker 2: been kind of conditioned to think that if you go
Speaker 2: to the theater that's the only way to truly enjoy
Speaker 2: the cinema. But it's like that's coming from people that
Speaker 2: are making money off of that way more money movie making.
Speaker 3: I'm not making money off of it, and I just
Speaker 3: enjoy going to movies.
Speaker 2: I understand that it is a better experience, but it's
Speaker 2: not like it's not like the world would fall apart
Speaker 2: if people stop going to the movie theater.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, no, there's no. I mean, I highly doubt
Speaker 3: that would happen. That would be crazy if the world's.
Speaker 1: Going out to do anything anymore.
Speaker 3: Like, No, did you read this stuff about gen z
Speaker 3: is not leaving their homes?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: Yeah, And we can talk to gen ZM about this,
Speaker 3: but they did. They just came out with this like
Speaker 3: big retro respective study about the generation gen Z and
Speaker 3: they're saying that they're the least social generation. And I
Speaker 3: for yeah, I think this was on maybe Tim's podcast
Speaker 3: where he was talking about this and how he was
Speaker 3: saying that that's not a bad thing that people are
Speaker 3: like not going to bars and not going to clubs.
Speaker 1: I saw that too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's like, because people are an alcoholics.
Speaker 3: They realize the smart bars and clubs when in your
Speaker 3: twenties and wasting a decade of your life getting drunk
Speaker 3: is stupid.
Speaker 2: And yeah, money, wasting your money, money, not going out
Speaker 2: as much.
Speaker 3: I don't a few movies in the same way I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't view going out to see music at smaller
Speaker 2: venues like the only people that are making money doing like,
Speaker 2: you know, performing are people at the top. Yeah, in anything,
Speaker 2: there's no space for like just a touring band to
Speaker 2: do like a two hundred seat venue happening.
Speaker 4: In the last five minutes of the show, can we
Speaker 4: talk about Gracie Abrams speaking, Oh yeah, yeah, something happens.
Speaker 1: Wait hold on, I just want to hear Wicked.
Speaker 3: You loved it, right, loved Wicked it everybody and it
Speaker 3: was amazing except for one person who I would not
Speaker 3: call out on the podcast. But the movie was just
Speaker 3: as good as the musical. When it ended, I was
Speaker 3: like this is as good as I felt. I felt
Speaker 3: this way when I was in high school when I
Speaker 3: saw Avatar and I was like, I'm painting myself for
Speaker 3: the baby. No, when I was in high school and
Speaker 3: I saw Wicked on Broadway, my high school sent me
Speaker 3: to Broadway to go see Wicked.
Speaker 1: Why and Yeah, Ryan was.
Speaker 2: Like an amazing actor in high school and then he
Speaker 2: completely lost it.
Speaker 3: I'm not my skills.
Speaker 2: He literally was like one of the best actors and
Speaker 2: people were like, you were you were?
Speaker 3: I was plucked. Yeah, I was plucked by like these
Speaker 3: like these like theater people to uh like be groomed
Speaker 3: I guess, I don't know, not in a sexual way,
Speaker 3: but to be groomed for the theater. Eventually, Yeah, it
Speaker 3: all leads to that Hollywood. And then I played Alan
Speaker 3: and Equis and I was truly it was so frustrated
Speaker 3: because I was truly amazing, like I was in this
Speaker 3: Equas thing, and they were like older guys who were
Speaker 3: like telling me to take my clothes. They're older guys
Speaker 3: who were actors, and they were like, how do you
Speaker 3: access these emotions? How do you become this character? How
Speaker 3: do you see the horse? And I and I literally
Speaker 3: I would do the scenes and I would like have
Speaker 3: to leave the room because I was so emotionally drained
Speaker 3: after doing them. I really did you were like a
Speaker 3: real actor. I was like, I can't be near you.
Speaker 3: I can't be near you. I gotta go Okay, So can.
Speaker 2: You speak to the thing of like kids being like
Speaker 2: having emotions that you're just like, where did you get
Speaker 2: this from?
Speaker 1: Kid?
Speaker 2: Like you can speak to that, because like when you
Speaker 2: see kids being good actors, you're like, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: Like, where are you pulling this from?
Speaker 2: You have been You've let their kids that aren't from
Speaker 2: broken homes you certainly weren't.
Speaker 1: How could you act?
Speaker 3: Probably well, I was from a broken life. I mean
Speaker 3: I think I did pull it. Like there was a
Speaker 3: play I was in where my parents were getting divorced,
Speaker 3: and I obviously was able to access my own parents
Speaker 3: divorced to but I think it I think what ruined
Speaker 3: it for me because one because then I went to
Speaker 3: college and I and I started auditioning for the plays
Speaker 3: there and and I was I went in as a
Speaker 3: theater major and I was doing this audition and I
Speaker 3: remember the moment where I was like, I can't act.
Speaker 3: I can't act anymore. I was sitting in an audition
Speaker 3: and I was sitting across from the person, the director
Speaker 3: or whatever, and I was doing my scene and I
Speaker 3: was like, I feel I felt like I was like
Speaker 3: hitting on her my character, like I felt like my
Speaker 3: character wasn't hitting on this character. It wasn't like a
Speaker 3: sexual scene. I was like, you know, brother and sister
Speaker 3: or something. And the way I was like playing it
Speaker 3: read like I'm like hitting not on the character, like
Speaker 3: I'm hitting on the director in real life. It's what
Speaker 3: it felt like. And I was like, what the fuck
Speaker 3: am I doing? I'm like flirting with the director and
Speaker 3: through this scene.
Speaker 1: What do you think it was that made you?
Speaker 3: I think I know exactly what it ought me comedy,
Speaker 3: because I was I was jumping into improv. I was
Speaker 3: thinking about writing stand up at the time, and I
Speaker 3: was like, now' I've I've removed myself from being in stuff,
Speaker 3: and I'm now an observer and a commenter on things.
Speaker 3: And you can't act if you're not in it, and
Speaker 3: you feel disingenuous and lame when you're like, I'm actually sad,
Speaker 3: and it's like the comedian's mind judging it too much. Yeah,
Speaker 3: the comedians mind, it's like, you're not actually sad about this,
Speaker 3: this is all fake. You want to come in.
Speaker 2: There and be like, yeah, you're cynical, cynical, and you
Speaker 2: cannot be cynical as an actor. You need to be
Speaker 2: so bought in. Yeah, wow, that's interesting.
Speaker 3: One step between acting and stand up is improv, where
Speaker 3: you are acting but you know it's a and so
Speaker 3: one of the biggest mistakes you can make in improv
Speaker 3: is be what they call uh in certain regions is
Speaker 3: like a wallflower where you sit back on the back
Speaker 3: line and you just comment on what other people are doing.
Speaker 3: And that's like a bad improv skill to have because
Speaker 3: you need to be in the scene. But it's the comedians.
Speaker 3: Because that's why stand ups are so bad at improv
Speaker 3: is because the comedian the.
Speaker 2: States too embarrassed to put to make ourselves look stupid.
Speaker 1: By the way, yeah, and improv you need to look stupid.
Speaker 3: So much so much. Yes, And the stand ups, mind
Speaker 3: is just make fun of those stupid things.
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, that is the difference. I'm so cringed out.
Speaker 2: I improv not because I when I watch it for
Speaker 2: myself to do it. When I watch it, I really
Speaker 2: admire it, Yeah, but for myself. But I think there's
Speaker 2: a part of me that also judges it, and I
Speaker 2: think that other people are gonna judge me.
Speaker 3: Well, that's one of the lamest art forms that's ever
Speaker 3: been invented.
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 2: I think I I'm obsessed with it recently. I'm just
Speaker 2: like been watching a lot of it. Yeah, I'm so impressed.
Speaker 2: And Okay, so Wicket's great.
Speaker 3: Yes, Wick, it's amazing. And I just want to warn
Speaker 3: people because I did not know this going in. It's
Speaker 3: part one. In part two, oh, I know, it's fucking
Speaker 3: split up.
Speaker 2: How long is it? And that's why everyone's saying. This
Speaker 2: is why the girls are crying all the time. It's
Speaker 2: because they have put everything they have into it. And
Speaker 2: I'm just like, I don't really care. It's still a movie.
Speaker 2: Stop crying. I'm not trying to be a jerk. I
Speaker 2: love Arianna. I'm sure Cynthia rivo is. I know she's incredible.
Speaker 2: They're both amazing. This movie's gonna be just he's gonna
Speaker 2: sweep the award shows.
Speaker 1: It's it's amazing.
Speaker 2: But it's just a fucking movie. Let's stop crying about it.
Speaker 2: And I just think these girls are on press tours
Speaker 2: and they're tired and they're hungry, and then they they
Speaker 2: get a little there's a little chance of like that
Speaker 2: of something that moves up and they're just like they
Speaker 2: they weaken and they fall.
Speaker 3: Because they're crying a lot. Promoting the movies, Arianna and Cynthia. Yes,
Speaker 3: and isn't there some.
Speaker 2: Weird like yes, she held her finger in a clip
Speaker 2: that is so funny wow, because a woman asks her
Speaker 2: if that like that? A woman tells Cynthia Rivo that
Speaker 2: the song defined gravity. A lot of queer people have
Speaker 2: been holding space for it.
Speaker 1: It's like, this, what does that mean? It doesn't really
Speaker 1: make sense.
Speaker 2: Cynthia Rivo is acting like she's found out, you know what,
Speaker 2: Like like like she's like really, it's like it's very confusing,
Speaker 2: Like what is shocking about this? And she was like, well,
Speaker 2: I've just seen it a couple of times that queer
Speaker 2: people are holding space for it. It's so confused, dude.
Speaker 2: It's this clip is going viral because it's so confusing.
Speaker 3: It's about being yourself.
Speaker 2: Finally starts crying a little bit, crying, getting like teared up,
Speaker 2: and then Ariana like comforts her and just like grabs
Speaker 2: her finger instead of the hand, just grasps like so funny.
Speaker 1: It's just the funniest thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, like it's just I think they are just
Speaker 2: over they're so tired from doing press that nothing. We
Speaker 2: should take nothing they say seriously anymore, and we should
Speaker 2: let them be and we should make fun of them
Speaker 2: because they're in a vulnerable state with how much the
Speaker 2: press they've been doing. Like you can't you can't judge
Speaker 2: anything they're doing. But it was still really funny.
Speaker 3: This is what it takes to have a movie sweep
Speaker 3: the nation like this, unless you get the Barbenheimer thing
Speaker 3: where Oppenheimer didn't do this, But you have to, like
Speaker 3: you have to invest like literally like three hundred million
Speaker 3: dollars into just marketing in order for everyone in the
Speaker 3: country to actually watch them.
Speaker 2: And I'm going to go see it this week with dress.
Speaker 2: I'm really excited. I know I'm gonna fucking love it.
Speaker 2: I know nothing about it.
Speaker 3: You've never seen Wicked or heard of Wicked.
Speaker 2: I mean, I know I've heard of Wicked, but I
Speaker 2: did not know what it was about. I didn't know
Speaker 2: they were going to Witch College or something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they go to which college.
Speaker 1: And I know the.
Speaker 2: I know that, and then I know popular, but I
Speaker 2: don't know any words from You know.
Speaker 3: That it's based on the Wizard of Oz. I found
Speaker 3: that out like two Day's Frank Baums, okay, Wizard of Oz.
Speaker 2: One of them's green, it's Glinda and Alphaba. I know
Speaker 2: that Bowen Yang is in it. I love Yang nothing else.
Speaker 3: They really leaned into bow and Yang being funny throughout
Speaker 3: the entire movie.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, they were like.
Speaker 3: He's the funny one, so whenever we have a moment
Speaker 3: that needs to be funny, it will be him delivering it.
Speaker 2: They don't give it and they don't give it any
Speaker 2: chance to anyone else. To be funny, is what you're saying.
Speaker 3: Ariana Grande gets to be character funny where she's like
Speaker 3: because her characters interesting. She makes character moves that are
Speaker 3: not jokes, but like funny. Anytime there's like a straight
Speaker 3: up joke, it comes from Bowen Yang.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, it's good and bad.
Speaker 3: It's good, been bad, Okay, Bowen Yang does a great job.
Speaker 3: But it's also like we get that he's the comedy
Speaker 3: relief here, and so like, if this character is reading
Speaker 3: a little bit untrue because every single thing he says
Speaker 3: is literally a punchline.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: So it's like good and bad. It's he's funny, he's
Speaker 3: great in it. Obviously he can sing. I didn't know that. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and he's hilarious as a writer. I'm looking at it
Speaker 3: and I'm like, can you flesh him out a little
Speaker 3: bit since he's not just the punchline.
Speaker 2: Guy, right, Yeah, but that's ipicking. And then yeah, just
Speaker 2: to cap us off, like the biggest thing of my
Speaker 2: weekend was Emily sent me a text on I think
Speaker 2: Friday night that just said oh my god. And I
Speaker 2: was like, busy doing something. But whenever she says oh
Speaker 2: my god, I know it's like something on it, someone's
Speaker 2: commented on something on Instagram, someone's following me now, someone
Speaker 2: DMed me. And it was a video of Gracie Abrams,
Speaker 2: who's like my favorite artist right now, saying really nice
Speaker 2: things about me and.
Speaker 3: Whoa no way, yes, it's what does she saying.
Speaker 2: I didn't repost it because I didn't want to, just
Speaker 2: like it's screen recorded from like a YouTube video, but
Speaker 2: so I didn't like want to brag about it, but
Speaker 2: I do to the besties.
Speaker 1: I have to, like I send it to my family.
Speaker 2: I sent it to Chris because everyone knows what Gracie
Speaker 2: Abrams means to me right now, and it was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, this person that you're like legit obsessed with.
Speaker 3: Gracie Abrams is like, you're a Taylor Swift.
Speaker 1: I know, I know.
Speaker 4: And she's basically saying, like, what about Nicky Glazer says like,
Speaker 4: I'm I'm in I love it.
Speaker 1: It's so nice.
Speaker 2: I'm almost uncomfortable by it because it's just too nice.
Speaker 2: But it was extremely validating to just hear Instagram. I'll
Speaker 2: post it on the Instagram. Yes, we'll post on Instagram.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we saw that you commented on Nicki Glazer's rendition
Speaker 1: of it. I mean, I love her. She's so good.
Speaker 1: I really love her. I think she's a genius. And
Speaker 1: so to see her care at all about anything that
Speaker 1: I've ever done is huge for me. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: big deal, but it was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just like you know, you it just for
Speaker 2: me to like have to love someone that, like everyone knows.
Speaker 2: Over the past few months, I've become utterly obsessed with
Speaker 2: her in a way that is similar to the way
Speaker 2: I felt about Taylor Swift and I've never even expected
Speaker 2: anything to come from Taylor Swift about me in my
Speaker 2: life and never expected to and and I would never
Speaker 2: expect it from Gracey either. Like I just like love
Speaker 2: artists unabashedly. I'm not waiting for when are they gonna
Speaker 2: There was an interview I did recently where they go,
Speaker 2: whose phone call are you dying for?
Speaker 1: Who's phone?
Speaker 2: Who are you waiting for that phone call from? And
Speaker 2: I'm like, no one. Yeah, I don't expect anyone to
Speaker 2: be like, wow, we love I'm never like, when does
Speaker 2: that person get up notice me or acknowledge me?
Speaker 3: My father?
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, I said Chris, because I had told him
Speaker 2: I was depressed the night before and he was like,
Speaker 2: do you want me to call you?
Speaker 1: And I go no, I'm just said what I want
Speaker 1: to call? And I'm like, that's who I'm waiting to call.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I said no, but it meant.
Speaker 2: But anyway, she said really nice things, and it was
Speaker 2: just a feeling I've never felt before of having someone
Speaker 2: that you like are just crazed over, Like I couldn't
Speaker 2: be more a bigger fan of Gracy Abrams right now
Speaker 2: and out of anyone in the world, like obviously Taylor
Speaker 2: Swift is my the OG, but like I'm in the
Speaker 2: very nascent stages of that kind of adoration for Gracy Abrams.
Speaker 2: I think she's that kind of artist. And so it
Speaker 2: just it's felt really good, nice thing, and I send
Speaker 2: it to everyone in my life that I love who
Speaker 2: loves me, because I'm like, this.
Speaker 1: Is a really special moment in my life.
Speaker 2: And and it was nice because if this would have
Speaker 2: happened a month ago, people wouldn't have known my Gracy obsession.
Speaker 2: But it has amplified so intensely over the last month.
Speaker 2: Even Chris I was like, we haven't been together for
Speaker 2: the past couple of months, but if you would have
Speaker 2: been around me, I'm listening to her NonStop. I have
Speaker 2: everything memorized. And he was like, I just got tears
Speaker 2: in my eyes. This is amazing. He keeps talking about
Speaker 2: it's really sweet.
Speaker 1: So thank you, Grazy.
Speaker 3: I love her, And that's where you're thankful for. Yes
Speaker 3: is Thanksgiving? Maybe today even listening to.
Speaker 1: Yes, Happy Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: I'll say what my plates instructor said this morning, enjoy
Speaker 2: eating this holiday season. Don't be obsessed with your body,
Speaker 2: give yourself grace. Let yourself, do hold let yourself enjoy things,
Speaker 2: and do not let any comments about your body get
Speaker 2: you down. Anyone who comments on you is projecting and
Speaker 2: they're worried about their own self and they're jealous, or
Speaker 2: they are they deeply hate themselves.
Speaker 3: To somebody to the internet. When the Internet says, don't
Speaker 3: like to this holiday season, don't forget whatever you put
Speaker 3: in your body, your body remembers, and I'm just like,
Speaker 3: what fuck you?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 3: You like it's saying, don't don't binge during Christmas, or
Speaker 3: don't bing don't eat a bunch of candy and stuff
Speaker 3: during Halloween because Thanksgiving you.
Speaker 1: Have a couple more Christmases left. Yeah, Like, maybe have
Speaker 1: a good guy. Yeah, Christmas is the best.
Speaker 2: Holidays are the best time of year. It just like
Speaker 2: as a joyous time. Let that joy in. You might
Speaker 2: hate it because it reminds you of bad times in
Speaker 2: your family, but like, let it in a little bit
Speaker 2: and and love yourself this Christmas. Be your own family
Speaker 2: this Christmas. If your own family sucks, like, yeah, let
Speaker 2: the holiday spirit. And we don't know how many more
Speaker 2: of these we have and that we get in lives.
Speaker 2: We're not guaranteed even this one, so enjoy it. Eat
Speaker 2: is what you want. I had a cookie last night
Speaker 2: and I never have cookies.
