How's that going? Yeah, evidently, where I was living wasn't good enough for another place that wasn't good enough for.
Host
Is that. Is that mortgage in your name or her name?
Bob
It's. It's in her name. All right, never mind. I don't know, because I'm playing a character.
Host
I was giving you the option of going, huh?
Bob
I dropped the yes and ball.

That's right.

Okay, very good. Sorry, we got.
Dustin Nickerson
I'm sorry. We digressed.
Tom
No, it's all right. That was great. I want to know here. I'm glad he's alive, honestly. He's not in the baseboards in the old house you got rid of. So whether you've been in a bunch of relationships or one relationship for a long time, you're very. Your advice changes the way you view it. Me and my wife are very happy, but we're very jaded. I know that because the last wedding we went to, we were giggling during the vows. Because I remember the first wedding that you go to, you're like, oh, my God, maybe you're still dating. And she's like, crying, and we're like, yeah, we'll see if this works. Because that's not. You just know enough that that's not marriage. That's a wedding. Those are like, a marriage is not that day. The marriage is the next day when they get to the airport. And she goes, I forgot my passport. Now you're married. That's the actual vows, where things start. So. Yeah.
Host
Does your wife have a. A job on the side? Obviously. A lot of work raising kids.
Tom
Yeah, my wife is kind of the Swiss army knife around the house. She does. Stays home with the kids, but also helps run the. And she's also an art teacher. She's great. She has a million skills, and I have one that I'm okay at. And as a true, proud man, I was like, I'll be the breadwinner with my words.
Dustin Nickerson
I've noticed you have a tattoo on your ring finger.
Tom
Yeah, I have that. There's no easy way to say this. I lost my wedding ring a lot.
Dustin Nickerson
Oh, that old one?
Tom
That old one. So this isn't funny at all. It's a moon. Her nickname for me is moonlight. So that's.
Bob
Moonlight.
Tom
Yeah.
Host
Who knows? Is There is. If there is isn't a fascinating story, please make one up.
Dustin Nickerson
Yeah, that's sweet.
Tom
Oh, I mean, it's. It's not an on air story.
Audience Member
Oh, okay.
Dustin Nickerson
Yeah.
Bob
Yeah.
Tom
The funny thing is it's a crescent moon. She likes the left hand.
Audience Member
Yeah.
Tom
Ye. I know that's a nickname for. But I would lose, like. Yeah, I would. I did. It's a nice thing if you can get. It's really. I got it. Because I've had adhd. I'm very forgetful. I lose stuff all the time and I got it. But I actually, I have a comedian friend who I. I told her I open a lot for Taylor Tomlinson and Taylor told me. She goes, oh, you don't need a wedding ring. You look like a wedding ring.
Dustin Nickerson
You do look married.
Host
Yeah.
Tom
So it's that and you know Gary Ridgeway.
Bob
Those are my.
Tom
Either way, charming.
Host
We're speaking with. With Dustin Nickerson, comedian. Right now we return to the news desk for a few words from Christy Lee.
Dustin Nickerson
A few words. A woman claims she's addicted to eating tea bags. Ms. Libov Siric from Cyprus.
Bob
Huh?
Dustin Nickerson
Light. Yeah.
Bob
Must be Libby, right?
Audience Member
Yeah, you go with.
Dustin Nickerson
She's from Cyprus. She said her unusual habit started as a teenager when her grandmother encouraged her to try eating mint leaves. Now at the age of 20, Ms. Siric says she consumes tea leaves every day and even eats paper tea bags two to three times a week. According to Ms. Siric, she brews the tea, drinks it, then eats the leaves. It's a taste of freshness I can't get enough of.
Host
I think when guys see that she's into teabagging on her profile, social media, and they may have a different idea.
Bob
That's nowhere near what this is. Have you ever seen this show? My Strange Addiction?
Host
No.
Bob
The list of people like this, like this. This woman eats couch cushions. Yeah, she can't stop.
Dustin Nickerson
Is this a pica thing?
Bob
Is this a form of urine? Drinker eats detergent, eats glass, drinks gasoline.
Audience Member
I mean, that's the thing. This is fairly healthy, right?
Bob
Eats toilet paper.
Dustin Nickerson
Yikes.
Bob
Won't stop eating pottery. Pottery. What the heck?
Dustin Nickerson
How do they have teeth left?
Bob
I. I don't know.
Audience Member
Honey, where do you want to eat tonight? How about Pier one Imports?
Bob
Oh, you mean the restaurant near there? No, no, no.
Dustin Nickerson
Pottery Barn.
Bob
This girl likes to eat sand because she likes the crunch. Lady likes to drink paint because it's a thicker version of warm milk on her throat.
Audience Member
Isn't that something?
Tom
Oh, man.
Bob
Do you have something for her? That's a thicker version on her.
Host
Oh, jeez.
Bob
Oh, come on.
Host
Always. Always. Right down vulgar road.
Bob
A lady who eats automobile tires.
Host
Oh, come on.
Bob
I'm not making this.
Tom
That's just recycling. Yeah, that's good for the.
Host
Isn't that going to kill you?
Dustin Nickerson
How would you chew that? You can't chew rubber.

Bob
Let's clean it up. There's a. A lady who eats the hairballs from her cat.
Dustin Nickerson
No.
Audience Member
That's brutal.
Bob
We have to keep an eye on Jo.
Andy
I'm going to tell my doctor this nicotine thing. Not so bad, man.

Host
D. That would be a short hobby.
Bob
And there is a picture of her licking her cat. Getting the hair off of.
Dustin Nickerson
Oh.
Audience Member
Boy. She's really something, isn't?
Bob
She's? Fighting them off.
Tom

Audience Member
Yeah, that's the most sane of everything we just heard.
Andy
Not even that.
Bob
Weird.
Host
It's expensive.
Audience Member
Why is that.
Bob

Dustin Nickerson
Yeah, yeah.

The moving continues.

Dustin Nickerson
Pretty much 99. Yeah, I still have. It's still for sale if anybody's looking. So I have some plants and stuff in there to make it look so less, you know.
Host
Did you cry a little bit when you left?
Dustin Nickerson
I did. I really did.
Host
Didn't you bury a body or something?
Bob
Sh.
Dustin Nickerson
I'm trying to sell a house. What the hell's wrong with you?
Host
No, didn't you bury you. I missed it. Oh, sorry.
Dustin Nickerson
I buried St. Joseph.
Host
That's what I meant to say. Sorry.
Dustin Nickerson
And this is Holy Thursday. So maybe.
Bob
Maybe. This is Andy, Christy's husband. I cried a little bit when we left. Well, when I left my house to move in with her. That was really traumatic.
Dustin Nickerson
I have a really. I have. She's.
Bob
She's talking.
Host
Go ahead.
Dustin Nickerson
I've gone from a. Have what I've considered a very nice closet. Large closet. And I had to make a closet in the new house.
Audience Member
Sounds lovely.
Host
That's a shame.
Dustin Nickerson
And I can't reach a whole rod you made.
Bob
You can't. She can't reach the rods.
Dustin Nickerson
I have to get a reach.
Host
Andy, isn't that the one you're going to hang yourself?
Bob
That's what she tells me.
Host
That's the only rod you can get your feet.
Bob
I can't reach it. I don't want to touch it.
Dustin Nickerson
We had to redo the bathroom and make a closet. And so the rod is so high. I have to get one of those. Those hangers they get at the. At the mall. You know when you have those big reaching stick. Yeah, but it's not really a reaching stick. It's a closet hanging.
Host
Get a ladder.
Bob
It looks like a shepherd's crook.
Dustin Nickerson
Yeah, that's what it looks like. No, a ladder. I'm not putting a ladder in my. I would literally have to have a ladder.
Host
I have a chair in my closet.
Dustin Nickerson
I do, too.
Audience Member
Very odd.
Bob
Is that the. Is that what you're down to? You. They said, why don't you go sit in the closet, Tom?
Dustin Nickerson
Well, you can put your shoes on. You got to have a chair for my. I agree.
Host
Shoes on.
Dustin Nickerson
You don't have a chair in your.
Audience Member
Closet putting your shoes on in the closet?
Bob
My closet's too small.
Host
You don't put your shoes on in the closet.
Audience Member
Not at all. No.
Andy
You're a maniac.
Host
No, that's where my shoes are.
Dustin Nickerson
Right.
Host
So I put them on there, and then I walk out.
Audience Member
So I just leave my shoes kind of out of the way, but next to the bed in a way.
Bob
You know, me and shoes. I sleep with all my shoes. They're right there in the bed with me.
Audience Member
No, no, no. The shoes that I'm gonna wear, you know, that I wear every day.
Dustin Nickerson
Oh, I see.
Tom
Yeah, I see.
Audience Member
Do you guys change shoes every day?
Dustin Nickerson
Yeah, depends on what I'm wearing.
Audience Member
That's a very odd thing. You have a pair of shoes, and you wear them.
Dustin Nickerson
You have an outfit. You have to match your outfit.
Audience Member
No, you. They're black shoes. They match anything.
Bob
I don't know how long I could go with wearing a different pair of Shoes, but it'd be a while.
Audience Member
Wow.
Bob
Yeah, but I mean, I.
Host
When you get out of bed, you don't put your shoes on. You got to get in the shower and everything.
Dustin Nickerson
Slippers on.
Bob
No, no, no. You shower with your shoes on.
Host
Yeah, that makes them clean.
Bob
You never.
Audience Member
My old soggy foot over here. He's not wearing his shower shoes.
Bob
Begging for athlete's foot.
Audience Member
It sure is.
Host
You go in the closet, you get your pants, you get your shirt, and you sit down that little chair and you put your shoes.
Audience Member
You do?
Andy
Yeah.
Audience Member
This isn't a time for second person.
Bob
See, once again, I can't tell you if you ever hear me. Your memories and your experiences aren't everyone's.
Andy
Yeah, like me and most people can't fit a chair in the closet because it's just a door. You can't go inside of it.
Dustin Nickerson
Oh, you don't have a walk in closet is what you're saying.
Andy
I don't think you realize how not relatable your life is.
Host
Oh, I get that. I don't think you do. And I'm very glad. It comes in extremely handy.
Bob
Thankful is the word you want.
Host
You know something? I have an idea.
Andy
So far, 20.
Host
Let's do. Let's just. You reminded me of a little bit of history. I have a little bit of history today.
Audience Member
Why not?
Dustin Nickerson
You know what the day is?
Audience Member
It's May 4th.
Bob
April 17th. Tom. The Ides of April. No, 15.
Dustin Nickerson
What is it the idea.
Tom
Go ahead.
Host
1964. This is.
Tom
I, I.
Host
Well, I'll read it. In 1964, the Ford Mustang debuted at the World's Fair.
Dustin Nickerson
Wasn'T it?
Bob
Lost their minds.
Host
Man, those are great cars.
Audience Member
Did you ever mained cool? Like, right? Every subsequent model.
Bob
They're still cool.
Host
Except for the.
Tom
There was one in 90, the Mustang.
Host
The Mustang, too.
Audience Member
Let me look that up.
Host
Yeah, it was like a miniature Mustang.
Audience Member
It was sort of the new Coke of Mustangs.
Bob
Yeah, they tried to ever call a Mustang a stang.
Host
Yeah.
Audience Member
Mustang 2, you say?
Host
Yeah, it was not good. But the Mustangs, it looks like a Taurus.
Dustin Nickerson
I had a Mustang baby blue. It was sweet. Nice Craig on it. Oh, nice.
Host
I was in Las Vegas not too long ago and got an Uber that was an electric Mustang.
Dustin Nickerson
Oh, yeah, those are.
Host
That was very cool.
Audience Member
Some Mustang Twos cool, some not according to the images.
Host
They're all not cool.
Audience Member
Well, okay.
Host
I'm sure you're reading. Just wait a minute.
Bob
Hold it. Hang on, Tom. I'll take this. Are you trying to have your own opinion?
Audience Member
They're all the.
Host
No, some. Some rando said it was. No, the Mustang 2 was not cool.
Audience Member
Well, this, this Ford Mustang 2 is cool.
Host
Let me see.
Audience Member
And then There's a Mustang 2 King Cobra. That's cool.
Dustin Nickerson
Those are Mach twos. Is that.
Audience Member
No, they're saying.
Host
You know what?
Audience Member
Forget it. This wasn't fun or interesting.
Tom
It's a conversation with the defense, isn't it?
Dustin Nickerson
Yeah.
Bob
Then it got worse.
Host
O. Sorry. On this date. Let's see. 1970, Apollo 13 returns to Earth.
Dustin Nickerson
Oh, that was a bad.
Bob
Maybe they can make a movie out of that.
Tom
Was Katy Perry was on that one, right? Yeah.
Host
Have you seen that?
Bob
The controversy going viral that she faked her space trip. Faked it?
Audience Member
Tom, That's a theory.
Dustin Nickerson
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Host
But it's. Here's the thing. If. If you've seen the. That spaceship, they couldn't have possibly made it look more like a male penis. Yeah.
Dustin Nickerson
Oh, I know. It's crazy.
Bob
As opposed to a female.
Dustin Nickerson
I'm saying something about their.
Host
I was gonna say male member. Then I said, I'll go with penis.
Bob
All right.
Host
You know what I'm saying?
Bob
I hear you.
Host
But this sure does look. This whole. Like this is somehow liberating for women. No, it's. They're going up there because she's got a super rich husband. It's not.
Audience Member
And so now some of these images, The Blue Origin 2 are cool and some aren't.
Host
Really?
Audience Member
Yeah.
Bob
Really? No, no. That's the mock.
Progressive Insurance Ad
No, it is.
Tom
Forget it.
Host
I don't think going to. Going up there for 11 minutes makes you an astronaut.
Audience Member
It does. You're a passenger. But pretty cool, though.
Bob
I think that's the best roller coaster ever.
Tom
I disagree. Not for you, Dustin. I think Jeff Bezos has done the impossible. He has made space travel not cool.
Host
That's interesting.
Tom
He gets up there in a. It's dumb cowboy hat. Yeah. And gets in the lamest, grossest looking spaceship you've ever seen and take celebrities to space. You're like, how did you make the space boring?
Audience Member
That all sounds rad to me. If I'm in a spaceship, I'm wearing a cowboy hat.
Andy
I'm glad things are finally going okay for Oprah's best friend.
Dustin Nickerson
Yeah.
Andy
I'm glad that she finally gets to have a nice little day. Have some fun stuff in space.
Audience Member
Which one's Oprah's best friend?
Host
Oh, she's being. They're all being viciously attacked. Deservedly. On the Internet right now.
Andy
Deservedly.
Audience Member
All they did was go for a cool ride.
Andy
I think it's fun.
Tom
Eggs are expensive. We got bigger problems.
Host
I am. Hear me? Really? Okay. Good luck on this date in history. Oh, this is interesting.
Andy
Contentious at the end there.
Host
Game of Thrones premiered on hbo. I've never watched a second of it.
Bob
Pretty good.
Andy
I. I haven't watched it either, but you. You would just hate it. I don't think you should watch it. It's not going to be fun for you.
Host
I have my own Game of Throne. I play Wordle while, you know, on the toilet.
Tom
I got it.
Host
I'm not getting up till I finish this.
Tom
Right there with you the whole way.
Host
By the way, do you play Connections?
Tom
No, I don't know what that is.
Host
Oh, it's. It's another game that they have, the word game. And yesterday I'd like to protest. One of the answers was if you eliminate one vowel from each word, it becomes a dance. That is not.
Andy
You live through Vietnam, the civil rights era. You live through so much stuff. This is when you start protesting.
Host
I'm sorry.
Bob
Down with connections.
Host
Down with connections. One day they didn't have words. They had.
Bob
What do we want? No more connections.
Host
It's time for a party.
