Transcript

[Nikki Glaser]

Have you guys seen this new commercial from Stand up to All Hate? It's basically Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady going back and forth with reasons that they hate each other. But then when you really listen to them, the reasons for the hate are just so stupid. I don't know. This, this commercial really got me. It's a strong reminder that hate in our country continues to be out of control. So join us at iHeart in standing up to it. If you see hate, speak up, call it out. Your voice is a powerful tool in this fight. You can learn more by following the Nikki Glazer podcast.

[Brian Frangie]

Here's Nikki.

[Nikki Glaser]

Hello. Here I am. Welcome to the show. It's the Nikki Glaser Podcast. Fresh off the super bowl recording this on Monday morning. Got back from New Orleans to St. Louis after being. I haven't been in St. Louis for a couple weeks now, but landed at I think 9am Took like an hour ago. Yeah. And I took a nap. So I'm freshly out of a nap. I don't even know what happened. Yeah, well, I definitely, I'm wearing sunglasses right now because I have indents in my face from the sleep mask. I was going real hard and my face is real puffed up and just like really collect. Like a memory foam mattress collecting like every little touch of things. Have the sunglasses on. Just ate too much salt this weekend. Just, you know, just been.

[Chris]

Oh, yeah. Super Bowl. Out of all the holidays, first of all, the Super Bowl, I think is the second most American. The second most American holiday. It's like really defines America.

[Nikki Glaser]

Halloween or something.

[Chris]

July 4th, number one. That's kind of maybe Thanksgiving's number two, but it's, it's top three. Super bowl should be a national holiday. But I would say that you're right. I think out of all of the holidays, super bowl is the most salt food consumed holiday.

[Nikki Glaser]

Saltiest. Yeah. Even if you try to eat healthy, like. Well, that's what healthy is, is they just put lots of salt and sugar and things and then it's like fat free. And everyone thinks it's fine because we are all still brainwashed from the 90s when fat was the enemy. And why wouldn't it be? It's called fat and you're trying not to be fat. Yeah, no fat phobia here. I mean, like the culture says you shouldn't be fat. And then the thing in there's an ingredient food called fat. You know what it reminds me of? It reminds me of when you were listening to the radio. And there is an option. I always as A kid was like, why is there an option to turn down one instrument? Like, why is there only an option to turn down the bass guitar? Like, why is it. And then the treble? I don't even know what the trouble was, but I was like, there's two instruments that. They're like. Some people just don't want them in their music. And to me, the bass is. It's not always the bass guitar, but a lot of times the. The sound of bass is a bass guitar. And it's the same thing. It's like you. You. It's named for a thing that it doesn't represent. I don't know what I'm trying to say. Do you know what I'm trying to say? Kind of. Anyway. Ate a lot of salt.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

This weekend. Because I like soy sauce and I like Skinny Pop, and I like mustard. And I had a pretzel and mix.

[Chris]

It all up, put it in a bag, eat it up.

[Nikki Glaser]

Yeah.

[Chris]

It's called a New Orleans sandwich.

[Nikki Glaser]

Then I eat a lot of fruit because that's like, all they have. The game is like, if you're vegan, it's like a pretzel is the only vegan thing. And it's probably not. Has butter on it, but, like, what am I gonna do? I. I just can't.

[Chris]

Yeah. It's not real butter. Spray butter, Fake oil, probably hydrogenized fats. Probably not even.

[Nikki Glaser]

Probably is hydrogenated soybean oil. Okay. Yeah, that's right. Thank you for making me feel better about it.

[Chris]

You know, like, I'm trying spending money on Butterfly.

[Nikki Glaser]

A great vegan. But you're right. You're right. It probably is fake.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

So it's just, like, gross. And how was the Super Dome?

[Chris]

So you went to the Super Bowl?

[Nikki Glaser]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Not. But one day ago. Actually 12 hours ago.

[Nikki Glaser]

I was 24 hours in hair and makeup for the Super Bowl. Yeah. At this time yesterday. I don't know.

[Chris]

The glorious Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. How was that? They say that that's one of the best stadiums in the country now. You've been to a lot.

[Nikki Glaser]

I have been to a lot, and I've actually been there for Taylor Swift. Yeah. I've been to. I saw Eras tour there, and I saw a lot of footage of it during the flood. Which do they name the flood? Was there a hurricane? Was it named. What was it named? Oh, Katrina.

[Chris]

Oh, like in 2004, I think it was five.

[Nikki Glaser]

But yeah, I saw that. That, like, kind of. That's always stuck in my head that you're like Tate McCray with the score.

[Chris]

Whoa, wait, what?

[Nikki Glaser]

Hate McCray predicted the score? No, the Eagles were gonna win and the score would be 40 to 22.

[Chris]

You kidding me?

[Nikki Glaser]

Predicted in December on a tick tock.

[Chris]

How did she do what?

[Nikki Glaser]

She was just like randomly guessing. I mean, it's like it's.

[Chris]

That's not even. Like that happens. 22 is like 40.

[Nikki Glaser]

22 and exactly.

[Chris]

Right.

[Nikki Glaser]

Yeah. In December. Huh?

[Chris]

It's against the Chiefs or did she just.

[Nikki Glaser]

No, no, that would be cool.

[Chris]

Unbelievable. Wow.

[Nikki Glaser]

It was really cool.

[Brian Frangie]

And she's not even American. She's from Canada.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

She goes, is this a football thing? Like she didn't even understand like what she was being asked.

[Chris]

She just picked random numbers. Well, that makes me like Tate McCray more the super.

[Nikki Glaser]

The Dome was like, I'm gonna be honest. Like, fine. I can't really compare it to other places. Like, I really like an outdoor stadium. So that's always just changes things. And I am so anti turf now after watching a nine minute video I stumbled across on my Instagram the other day.

[Chris]

The players hate the turf.

[Nikki Glaser]

Why are we playing on it then?

[Chris]

Greed. Sheer greed. It's because it's annoying to take care of grass. Even though they have new technological advancements that make it easier to roll out a grass field, they find it annoying to take care of grass. It's expensive to make grass grow. It's just like having a lawn on your front yard. You know how hard it is to keep that grass green and nice.

[Nikki Glaser]

There's like 68% more injuries on turf.

[Chris]

No, it's.

[Nikki Glaser]

All the players hate it. They compare it to playing on concrete. And then there's this other thing. I didn't watch the whole video, but it seems like there's like, they can't really even complain about it because they'll. They'll get in trouble for even saying anything bad about it.

[Chris]

So it's Black Lives Matter.

[Nikki Glaser]

It's crazy. They, yeah, they can't take a knee because they're scared of it's going to hurt them. Turf. But like, yeah, they'll just get. There's. There's non contact injuries which I didn't even know is a thing. It's like when you're running and just twist your ankle because of like a.

[Chris]

Ghost or not even. That's what happened to Aaron Rodgers last year. You're just kind of like sometimes it's people on the sidelines and it's. It happened to our good friend and compatriot Mike Gibbons had a non contact Injury where it, that's where most Achilles tears happen. It's not even when you're playing. It's not even when you're getting tackled. It's not even a twist. It's just like when you start to run and all of a sudden it pops.

[Nikki Glaser]

Gotcha. That makes sense. That makes sense. But yeah, it just. That really upset me reading that. I'm just like, oh, so like the players can't even complain about it because they know they'll never win.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

And they just don't want to spend the extra money on it. It's like, it's like what I've been saying. It's what I said about there's some kind of. Oh. About paying the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, make the cups, make a large soda, $1 extra, and then just put that towards getting grass.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

But they wouldn't. If they made a large soda, $1 more. They'd give it to Jerry Jones so he can have another private jet that he doesn't fly or what, you know, even go towards anything useful.

[Chris]

This is what our entire country's problem is.

[Nikki Glaser]

I mean, wrong with everyone. I can't even take it. Don't even get me started on the booing last night. Like, I can't. I went fudgeing nuts today on Bethenny Frankel's Instagram post. I couldn't take it. Like, she's in the right place. She was like, you know, I didn't even see it yet, but I heard Taylor Swift got booed at the, at the game. And I think it's just. She pretty much was like, she didn't say these words, which was like, I think it's like really disgusting and like bad for our daughters that people are just booing this girl that hasn't done anything and like, why support her boyfriend?

[Chris]

Well, okay, so not supporting Eagles fans.

[Nikki Glaser]

And she was weird. She's obviously represents the Chiefs and they were doing anything on anyone on screen. I was there. So before that it would be like, hey. And they were just showing different fans every time there were Eagles fans. Cheers every time there was a Chiefs fan. Booze. And so when they put her up, it was obviously booze, but. But it wasn't even that, that. I, I mean, I, I thought that was pretty disgusting. I was embarrassed. And you're. You will. I went wild cheering and making. But then I was like, wait, could my cheer be like, caught up with the booze? So I tried to go like high pitched, like.

[Chris]

Doing a bunch of E's instead of O'S.

[Nikki Glaser]

And I was doing E's, but I was just like, get the camera off of her. Don't let this. Like, why? Whoever's operating the camera, like they were going. They were bouncing around so quick to all the celebrities, but on her, they really left it a really long time, which I understand it's Taylor Swift, but once this booze started, they should have got it off of her immediately. Don't make her sit and watch that and have to respond to it.

[Chris]

Her reaction is being widely celebrated online. She's great.

[Brian Frangie]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Brian Frangie]

She looked so cute. I have to say. That's like the one positive of them booing her.

[Nikki Glaser]

She did like look just side eye and then smiling. Yeah, I just want to give her a hug. She do. I know it was. I just thought it was really embarrassing.

[Chris]

And so speaking of, like the backlash against Taylor Swift, I think maybe you posted this. It was every single, like. So I watched the halftime show and I. I'm a huge Kendrick fan and I. Bad night for Jews overall, but huge because Drake's a Jew and this was like the. Basically the capstone of his public execution was Kendrick Lamar doing the diss track at the Super Bowl. But I thought it was an amazing super bowl halftime show. I have a few criticisms, but overall, amazing. Online though, tons of people saying it was the worst halftime show they've ever seen. Was it you that posted the picture of all the funny.

[Nikki Glaser]

The.

[Chris]

I. I mean, it's unbelievable. So Nikki posts something on her Instagram stories. You can follow her at Nikki Glazer on.

[Brian Frangie]

In case you didn't know, she's.

[Nikki Glaser]

People don't think I made it. I just, I found it on. On Reddit. If there would have been a creator attached to it, I would have. I would have posted it. But I figured the person who posted it was just, you know.

[Chris]

Yeah, well, I was really mad by going on Twitter and seeing these people are like, what? Well, words.

[Nikki Glaser]

Chris and I were like, what is going on? Because we witnessed it and then, you know, we also. It looks different on tv, but we. Right. We also had a screen above our box where we were kind of like watching what it would be like on tv. And it was amazing. And yeah, it was just because people didn't recognize the music and there were no white people in it, I guess. But yeah, the meme that I posted is just a bunch of like, you know, Twitter avatars that are like the circle or Instagram avatars. And it's the circle and it's just a bunch of like white men with Big, you know, sunglasses on every single.

[Chris]

Avatar that every single person who said this halftime show wasn't good was almost like the AI replicant of the same white man. I mean, it was this same guy.

[Nikki Glaser]

And they all had sunglasses all, like, aviators on. Yeah. I mean, that's like the classic, like, troll. I mean, troll look on these avatars. But I didn't like the halftime show in quotes. And then it's just like, all these people. I mean, I have never gotten so many responses on my. An Instagram post since I said I was gonna host the Golden Globes. Like, everyone is writing to me being like, this is hilarious. I mean, I think people know I didn't write it because it's clearly a repost. But, yeah, it's so funny because it's so accurate. And, yeah, people are really upset about it, I guess. And that. Which is just delightful to me because it was. It was. It was fun. It was very. Like, Chris and I were just like. It's. It was. It was a celebration of America, and it was like a kind of an in your face, just, like, you know, response to everything that's happening now. But it wasn't too overt. It was kind of all kind of subliminal, and you have to really be paying attention, and you have to listen to the lyrics and, like, understand what he's saying. And I loved it. I thought it was so good. And I'm not even, like, a huge Kendrick fan. I mean, now I am.

[Chris]

I have one critique of the halftime show.

[Nikki Glaser]

I do, too.

[Chris]

That's general, but I think we have to go break. Right.

[Nikki Glaser]

Okay, well, go to break, and we'll go back to our critique. All right, we're back. What. What did. What was your critique of the halftime show?

[Chris]

The critique of my half from show, which I agree with some of the commenters, even though that there was clear ulterior motives. I miss when we used to have outrageously unrealistic mashups in half the super bowl halftime shows, when you would pull in, like, ridiculous combinations of stars that you're like.

[Nikki Glaser]

You would never Spears.

[Chris]

Yeah, exactly.

[Nikki Glaser]

Janet. Jack. Right.

[Chris]

So, like, Kendrick and Sza and then randomly, one of the Williams sisters was dancing. Is that right? I didn't really. Yeah, Serena was dancing.

[Nikki Glaser]

She used to date Drake.

[Brian Frangie]

Yes.

[Chris]

Oh, so that I. Nobody in my party knew that about.

[Nikki Glaser]

Yeah, Yeah, I didn't know it either until I got home and talked to someone.

[Chris]

That's huge. That's amazing. That's. That was, like, really amazing.

[Nikki Glaser]

Yeah.

[Brian Frangie]

And apparently Sza also dated Drake?

[Chris]

Really?

[Nikki Glaser]

Yes.

[Chris]

Wow. I mean, Drake is just. Man, he is like a soap opera.

[Nikki Glaser]

I love it.

[Chris]

He can't win. He should. He should literally just start.

[Nikki Glaser]

He should. I was trying. Like, what's he gonna do next? Like, it just. It better be the greatest. It's. It's so much pressure.

[Chris]

I mean, he should just a kid.

[Nikki Glaser]

So they could retire.

[Chris]

Lean into it.

[Nikki Glaser]

That's. I mean, I don't. You know, if certain groups that wouldn't mind.

[Chris]

Heel turn. That's. That's the only move at this point is you take a heel turn and you're just like, yeah, I'm a bad guy. And now and go to jail. Like, you have to just become what they say, just retire.

[Nikki Glaser]

Like, you're rich enough. Like, no one needs you to keep working. Like, I understand that He. He wants to keep creating, and he's probably an artist that craves putting his stuff out there. Just then go. I think at this point, you have to, like, create a new person. You've got to, like, fierce. Like, you have to do a different character fierce. But I'm not really, like, sad for him. Like, oh, he. Like, if he were to be. To be forced into early retirement, he's. He's at least got, you know, $300 million at least. Yeah, he's okay. Like, you could just go. Just stop doing it. No one. We don't need more. I mean, I create a. I would hate if Taylor Swift stop. And someone could argue the same thing. But, you know, not that she's being forced, but, like, I don't think anyone needs to keep working after they've earned $100 million.

[Chris]

Other than the heel turn. Here's what he can do. He can create a Anonymous account on SoundCloud and release some unidentified tracks that don't say that they're Drake under a new name, and those become huge.

[Nikki Glaser]

And then be like, it was me the whole time, right? And then we'd all lose our mind and eat crow.

[Chris]

Yeah. Yeah, that's one way.

[Nikki Glaser]

Cool. Yeah. I was waiting for some kind of, like, big. I was waiting for Taylor Swift to come out. I'm not gonna lie. I kind of. I was watching her box the whole night because I had a good. Pretty good view of it. And I saw her, like, dip out a little bit before halftime, and I was like, no way. Because, you know, he was featured on Bad Blood, and then it got further and further, and I'm like, there's no way she's coming out. But not this point.

[Chris]

It was an amazing show. I Also, I took one prop bet during the. Like, all prop bets are bets that are, like, about the stupid stuff.

[Nikki Glaser]

Silly.

[Chris]

Yeah, I took one prop bet, and my prop bet was that the first song that Kendrick would sing would be Squabble up. And I was right. I called it.

[Nikki Glaser]

I mean, that was so excited.

[Chris]

I mean, I. Well, yeah, I started dancing and singing Squabble up, and it was amazing. I mean, out of all, like, so unlikely. Like, it was just. I mean, one of the best moments.

[Nikki Glaser]

Of my life was I wanted more.

[Chris]

Him starting to squabble up.

[Nikki Glaser]

I wanted to see more of that on tv. So delightful.

[Chris]

It was a flash in the pan on tv.

[Nikki Glaser]

I know. It was so fast. I mean, I've seen the clip over and over, and I'm like, yeah, like, we could barely see it because we're, like, so high up, so we wouldn't even know when it was her. It was so far away, you know? But, yeah, I would have liked it to be on her a little bit longer because I was like, oh, that was really interesting. And really, she just looked cool. Yeah, I was like. I was into it.

[Chris]

Where were you sitting?

[Nikki Glaser]

We were sitting in a box seat on, like, the. Not the farthest up, but, like. Like, Taylor Swift's box was, like, above ours, so there's, like, two rows of boxes, and hers and Trump's were, like, above ours. We were in, like, the 300 level. She was in the 400 level, and we were in a box with Bill Belichick and his. His girlfriend Jordan, who I talked to for a really long time, and I really, like, Cool. She's gonna get me on a supplement. We were talking about supplements and how. Just aging and how I feel.

[Chris]

Tell me about this. I'm all about supplements now.

[Nikki Glaser]

She's gonna send me a list, and then she said that in two weeks, my life is gonna change.

[Chris]

Things that you should take.

[Nikki Glaser]

He's gonna send me a list of supplements that's all natural stuff. Because she's, like, really researched this stuff, and she's. Yeah, she was like, I'm go.

[Chris]

Those Chinese herbs, I haven't tried them yet, but I've ordered those Chinese. Have you stopped?

[Nikki Glaser]

Have you tried them yet?

[Chris]

No, because I think I forgot. Yeah. Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

No offense to that.

[Brian Frangie]

That's the hard part about the supplements. It's like, you know, they work. It takes. I. I would say give it three weeks, because it takes 21 days for your blood to recycle. Like, recycle.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Brian Frangie]

But the hard part is just being consistent with it.

[Nikki Glaser]

The only consistent One I take is neutrophil. I, like, I take it every day, and if I skip a day, I think my hair is going to start falling out. So, like, if you. If you make it about my, like, vanity, I'll do it every day, no matter what.

[Chris]

Like, you have a preview of supplements that she says you should take?

[Nikki Glaser]

No, no. I'll let you guys know when I get it. Because she's. She's like, you know, a lot of judgment going on with that relationship. Just. I would if I was everyone. Yeah, it's fun to make fun because it's a huge age gap and it's like, it's obviously, like, ripe for just punch lines. Like, why not even. I've, you know, been known to make them and. But I learned some stuff that I'm like, oh, I'm gonna shut my mouth and I'm gonna not judge because I think it's. I know it's legit. And she seems really, really happy and she seems to have a really good head on her shoulders. And I think people are just like. People are just. They don't like things that look different to them. And women are. I will throw myself in that. I'm deeply threatened by men being tired of me once I age and, like, how unfair it is that men get to age and then they get to just get younger women and throw us in the trash. And I think it's threatening to women a lot. That's why I think women hate it. I think they. And then they make it about. It's disgusting, it's gross, and I think it's, again, it's hypocrisy. I think there's a lot of women that would be with older men when they were younger for the advantages of just, like, security being with someone who's mature and can, like, handle their success and not be threatened by it because they're not a young boy. There's a lot of reasons that meant women would want to be with an older guy, but they have to go, oh, I would never. That's. I feel so sorry for her. That's disgusting. But I think it's like, once again, I think everything stems from a little bit of jealousy. And you could probably track it to, like, there's something about it that threatens your bottom line, and I know it threatens mine because I fear that when Chris gets Bill Belichick's age, he could probably just go, if he's, you know, successful and with it enough, he could probably go, replace me with a 23 year old that he Meets on a plane or whatever. Like, there's something about it that threatens me, so. But I'm Jordan. Yeah. It kind of, what, get me horny again.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Brian Frangie]

But then how did you guys start talking?

[Nikki Glaser]

She came up to me after the NFL honors. We were so at the NFL honors on Thursday night. We. I saw her with him and I was like, oh, my God. And what. What are you talking about?

[Chris]

Haven't even talked about that yet.

[Nikki Glaser]

Oh, yeah, The NFL honors was on Thursday. Then I flew to Pittsburgh on Friday. So NFL honors was in New Orleans on Thursday? Yes, I got in on Wednesday on.

[Brian Frangie]

The private jet, which you just have, like, a quick follow up.

[Nikki Glaser]

Like, how was John Hammond Shaboozi? It was John Hammond Shaboozi, baby. Like, it was.

[Chris]

So what did you choose to do? Did you choose to engage in social activities for the flight or did you do the 10 minutes of talking and everyone takes a nap?

[Nikki Glaser]

It was kind of that. It was like 25 minutes of talking and then like, kind of like here and there, kind of in and out of talking and like, then, like, no sleeping because I just. No one needs to see that. I would have had to get out my, like, disgusting pillow eye mask. So I kind of just like, close my eyes. Like, I was one of those girls that could just, like, lean back.

[Chris]

Oh, yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

And like, just like kind of look out the window and close my eyes with my mouth shut and it would stay that way. So, yeah, I just. I just pretended maybe, and then I was just like, too anxious about everything I had going on. And. And it was a really nice jet, though. NFL honors really hooked up those who presented. And I was really just so appreciative that I got asked to do it because it was such a fun event. So then we. Yeah. So it was like, nice small talk. John Hammond, his wife are so nice Shaboozy. And his team was. These two guys that were with him were so nice. It was just like the nicest kind of people that you could be around.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

And Jon Hamm and I and. And Chris are all from St. Louis, so we had that in common. And we talked about, you know, growing up in St. Louis. And his wife is really smart, really cool, really interesting girl and had the best, best fashion. Like, I. If she would have just been a stranger, I would have taken a picture of her outfit and said, emily, let's source all of this. And like, and by the way, she's not wearing socks. She's wearing no show socks. And it seems to be fine. And it seems to look really, really good. And. Yeah. And. Oh. I told Emily. I was. She was like, no way. And I was like, yeah. She was like, you should take a picture. I was like, there's no way I was going to sneak a picture of Jon Hamm's wife.

[Chris]

John Ham wife's socks.

[Nikki Glaser]

There. No lack of socks. And to prove that it looks cool. I couldn't. I couldn't do it. And her jewelry was cool. Like, I wanted to take a picture of her. The way she stacked her rings and her bracelets. Like, she was just a very well put together person, as was John Hamm. I was like, cut every. Every little.

[Chris]

You know, John Ham was great.

[Nikki Glaser]

His bag was cool. Yeah.

[Chris]

He got to be on the field and introduce the Chiefs, and he did a great job. And then Bradley Cooper introduced the Eagles. But John Ham was. They were both amazing at introducing. And I couldn't really tell because our.

[Nikki Glaser]

Our screen had a delay. So, like, their voices was different than what they were saying.

[Chris]

It played well. Jon was like. Like Fargo esque. John Ham, where he. And he had this, like, extreme aggression.

[Nikki Glaser]

Pierce nipples.

[Chris]

Yeah, Pierce nipples. Big schlong and an outdoor hot tub. John Ham, he brought him out in style. Bradley Cooper had his daughter with him, so he had to tone it down slightly. But he was also amazing. Those. That. Those. That was a cool feature of the super bowl, which I don't recall seeing in the past.

[Nikki Glaser]

Celebrities bringing out the teams, calling them.

[Chris]

Out as they come out of the.

[Nikki Glaser]

Ooh, Samuel L. Jackson was a really cool part of.

[Chris]

Oh, yeah, that was awesome.

[Nikki Glaser]

Like, narrating it.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

Doing, like, the Greek chorus throughout it. I thought it was so cool. Okay, so plane ride, land, go to Hotel Shabuzi. We're, like, right next to his room. And it's. It's weird because when you're. I've been listening to this. That's tipsy song for really, like, all the time. And so Chris and I are constantly just going like, oh, my good Lord. Like, we're just always singing it. And that's just like, how Chris and I operate. We just, like, sing all the time, little snippets of songs. And the amount of times I had to stop myself from singing that in front of him was innumerable, you guys. So I couldn't. I was like, I'm not even gonna talk, because every time I talk, I want to say, oh, my good Lord. Which, by the way, I. I did have the thought that if our plane crashes or something bad happens, I know that if there was like, there's an engine failure. And it was like we would just hear Shabuzzi go, oh, my good Lord. And that would have been made. That would have made it worth it.

[Chris]

There was another plane crash in Alaska.

[Nikki Glaser]

I know.

[Chris]

Yeah. That's three. Rule of three is that that should be okay.

[Nikki Glaser]

So it's over.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

Okay. Can I just tell you what I've been doing for my own mind with the plane? Stuff that I think is really helpful.

[Chris]

Sure.

[Nikki Glaser]

Yeah. And gives me a sense of control when there literally is none. Okay. So you guys know I believe in, like, manifestation and visualization and all that stuff. So I think a lot of times on planes when I get in my head about, like, oh, my God, it's gonna crash, I, like, start picturing the crash. I start, like, picturing, like, all of a sudden a boom or, like, you know, a helicopter chopping off half of the fuselage or what you. Whatever it is, I keep running, like, that moment through my mind, and I'm like, oh, like, when you visualize stuff, it, like, happens. Right? Like, that's how. That's how I manifest is, like, visualization. I think I've talked about this before. Like, I just try to counteract that. So I just picture myself getting my bag at baggage claim in the city. I' to going walking into my apartment, seeing my dogs, the cold air of the St. Louis, like, whatever temperature it is. Like, I start, I counteract all the visualizations with the visualizations of being home and how real that feels. And then I just know in my heart that that's what's going to happen. I just know it. And I don't know if it'll help you if. If you struggle out there with flying and being scared. But when you have one of those thoughts, just counteract it with the thought of, like, what's it going to look like when you land? When you walk past that Auntie anne's in Terminal 3. When you are getting to your hotel, you might not know what your hotel looks like, but just like, picture checking into a hotel in with some jazz music playing in the background if it's New Orleans. You know what I mean? Like, try to picture the opposite of that. And that's what's given me some kind of control. Because I got to say, my anxiety with flying has amped up 900%, which is nine times the amount. Like, it's. And I'm already was at, like, a. Like, I'm very little anxiety on a plane. Like, I would almost say it's almost none. So going up to 900% is not a ton. I would say it's way less than most people's normal anxiety, but it's definitely more prevalent. It honestly feels like now when I used to smoke weed before a flight sometimes to be like, oh, I'm just, you know, I'm not doing anything for the next five hours. I should smoke weed. I would get. I would have anxiety because I would start thinking about bad things, you know, and my mind would wonder. It's like that. But I'm not high. I don't go to that. And so it's just. That's been helping me a lot. And remembering that there's 48, 000 flights a day and nothing happens.

[Chris]

Yeah. You would be in more danger if you chose to drive to your.

[Brian Frangie]

Yeah, they don't report, like, all the car accidents that are happening at once.

[Nikki Glaser]

No, they don't. And I'm not about to go on a tour bus. I heard some people, comedians, like, switched over from planes to buses because they're scared. And then I, I. I have so much more anxiety on a tour bus. When I was on Bert's tour, I like. Did I talk about this already?

[Chris]

Yeah, yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

Oh, sorry. Okay, never mind.

[Brian Frangie]

You also had that this weekend?

[Nikki Glaser]

Oh, yeah, I did Burt's show. So anyway, went to Pittsburgh. So NFL honors on Thursday.

[Chris]

Yes.

[Nikki Glaser]

Waiting for the car after the show. And it's like, you know, the Val. A valet kind of area. But it's like a big. It means everyone that's in the show, all the athletes, which there is. It's so many athletes. I mean, Chris was like. We were sitting right in front of Roger Goodell was sitting literally in the seat in front of us in this theater. It was. It was wild.

[Chris]

Wow.

[Nikki Glaser]

He's on an athlete. But was he one at some point?

[Chris]

He's a financial athlete.

[Nikki Glaser]

That's a good point. So I just kept going, no turf.

[Chris]

You trying to incept him.

[Nikki Glaser]

That was actually before I knew about that.

[Chris]

You got to. He's got to be dreaming for that to work, though.

[Nikki Glaser]

And so I was just hanging out by. Oh. And during the NFL honors, Snoop made a joke about Belichick's girlfriend and him, and.

[Brian Frangie]

Yes.

[Nikki Glaser]

So they cut to them, and she looked so hot. I loved her dress. I thought she looked amazing.

[Brian Frangie]

Oh, my God.

[Nikki Glaser]

And I really liked her. And people were saying there was, like, some backlash, which I don't really think there was. I think it was just, like, a fake headline where one person tweeted, this is inappropriate for this event. And so they made a headline out of it and said, like, people are in an uproar about her outfit being too, you know, inappropriate for this event. And it was so not inappropriate. If JLo wore it, everyone would be applauding her. Like, people just want to make her out to be just a sex object.

[Chris]

That's so funny how that's what the media is now is they find one person's tweet and then they extrapolate that to the rest of the world.

[Nikki Glaser]

People are in an uproar. It's two tweets and they can say, you know, NFL fans call for the.

[Chris]

You know, fox news.com does that all the time. As you know, I have an account in fox news.com and I engage in the comments, but they. They'll say that. They'll be like, people hated. What? Yeah, I haven't. Oh, did I not say that to you? Or is that.

[Nikki Glaser]

That would be insane to my. I couldn't even.

[Chris]

Oh, my God.

[Nikki Glaser]

What? Those. That comment section.

[Chris]

It's truly. The comment section is incredible. Like, it really has become a more tolerant place over the last. I mean, honestly, like, there has been a little bit a surprising amount of like, self awareness in those comments. Not. There's still like the usual. I think, like, the most of the real extreme people are on X. And like, fox news.com's common section has a good mixture of opinions. Anyway, they'll do that all the time on foxnews.com where they say, like, people were. People were really angry at blah blah, blah's choice of words during this.

[Nikki Glaser]

And they have like two tweets to.

[Chris]

Prove it of people who have like six followers each who are.

[Nikki Glaser]

No. 1. Yeah, it's crazy. Crazy. Please everyone be more savvy and know that when it says, like, people are upset about something, it's not based on literally anything.

[Chris]

It's hopeless. It's hopeless. We've talked about this with messages are.

[Nikki Glaser]

Smart enough to like, people are not.

[Chris]

If people. We're done.

[Nikki Glaser]

See through that. No, we're. We're. I literally wrote on the Bethany Frankel thing, I said, I go. It was so gross. The Taylor Swift booing. It was so gross. I said, and all these comments. I love how hypocritical all these comments are. If any of you saw Taylor Swift on the street, you would scre. Scream, probably start crying, ask for a selfie. I said this. I go, america is cooked. I just learned that phrase. But I love it. And America is fully cooked.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

And we're done.

[Chris]

We're ready to serve. Serve it up.

[Nikki Glaser]

I'M only complaining now. I'm not looking for solutions, y'all. I'm just complaining. Like, I'm. I'm through my. Like, I'm. I am immune to. Like, I'm immune to. I don't let a lot of it in, but it found me because he had. Grandpa had to show up at prom. That's how I felt when I found out he was coming to the Super Bowl. I was like, why is Grandpa coming to prom? No one. What? This is a fun place.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

Anyway, so. So. Oh, so I'm sitting. I'm standing by the. Waiting for the car. And then. So I had seen her on screen, and I really liked her reaction to the joke Snoop Dogg, Maine. Because she just, like, kind of, like, laughed and, like, just looked, like, classy and just handled it well. Wasn't, like, rolling her eyes or being, like, shocked. She just was like, you know, really just cla. Classy stuff. And so she came up, and I go, oh, my God. She goes, hi. I just want to say I love you or whatever, you know, something really nice. And I go, oh, my God, I know you. She goes, you do? And I go, I think so. And she was like, how? And I'm like, aren't you. Weren't you? I go, I think you're so, like, you. You just. You have such a great sense of humor about everything, and you're such. You just seem really cool, and, like, I just. I like you. And she was like, wait, why do you. Why would you know me? And I was like. I go, tonight, you were really cool when you were, like, when they put you on the screen. And she was like, I don't. I don't think you are talking about the same person. I go, oh, no. And then I was, like, almost scared that I was. This woman was going to think that I thought she was Bill Belichick's girlfriend, even though I would be like. Because I think most women are just, like, have a bad perception of her, even though they shouldn't. And I would be honored if someone thought I looked like her. And then I was like, wait, this bitch shouldn't be embarrassed that I think that she's her. But then Chris looked at me like, I don't think you know who that is. And then she was like, yeah, well, I'm just here with my boyfriend Bill. And I was like, wait, that is you. And she goes. I go, you were on the screen tonight? And she was like, I was? And I was like, yes. And you were so fun. Like, you laughed at it. And so then it was. Anyway, she was a fan. She was like. And by the way, I was a fan before the Tom Brady roast. I knew who you were and all that. Very, very nice.

[Chris]

Like, no, my boyfriend, Bill Cower.

[Nikki Glaser]

Yeah.

[Brian Frangie]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

And so I met her there and then when I found out she was going to be in the box, I was like, oh, great. Like, I have a rapport with her at least. And. And then she came to the box and I just was like, hey, Jordan. And then she just sat down and we talked for like, probably 40 minutes. Had a really good time talking. And like, she had, you know, she's someone that. I will say, like, it's just on girls chat. We were talking about, like, when you meet someone and all they do is talk about themselves and they don't ask a single question about you and how that's a very thing. That thing happens to everyone. And then if you do say something about yourself, they kind of just like stare at you and then you have no follow up. And, sorry, like, what'd you say?

[Brian Frangie]

Or they'll make it about them.

[Nikki Glaser]

Yes. And. Okay, let's be honest. Like, there are a lot of people that are boring and maybe it would be hard to come up with things. Like, I can always come up with something to ask someone about themselves. Like, but I, I know that I'm, I'm. You. You should ask me some questions about, like, I've got a pretty interesting life. I don't think it's like, I, I know what it is, but on the paper, I think it looks interesting enough that if people have questions for me, I'm like, you're an idiot. Like, you know, like, come up with something. Like. But I, I know it's a struggle for, you know, someone who might have like a, A job that, like, you know, they're a consultant of some sort. And you're like, I don't know what to say about that, but like, I got a lot to work with, so you should ask me. Anyway, she, she had so many questions for me, but it was really like, interesting stuff about how, how I just handle being in this industry and how I cope with the judgment or like, kind of, you know, related to the stuff she struggles with, but in a different way. And it got me really thinking about my career. She was like, you know, athletes talk about. She was like, athletes really focus on what's going to happen after they kind of age out of the business. You know, like, they have a deadline, their bodies, like, fail them at some point. And like, as a Woman in entertainment. Because we were talking about aging. She was like, there's kind of an expiration date. It's not, like, explicit, but things drop off. She was like, do you. Do your agents, like, talk to you about a plan for, like, when that happens? And I'm like, no, they don't. And not because they're bad guys or because they're not good at their job or they're not trying to foresee the future. It's because it's like this unspoken thing. Like, everyone likes to pretend it doesn't happen. Right. Like athletes. It's kind of like you. It's. Even with athletes, I feel like it's kind of. You don't really want to talk about it. Such a sad thing that it eventually happens. But retirement is a thing that's talked about and, like, what are you going to do after you retire? Because it's imminent. But with within. As a woman in this industry where you turn 50 and everything dries up, including the roles for you and people wanting to see you on tv, everyone kind of acts like it doesn't happen. And so I say to her, I said to her, you know, there. We don't really talk about it, but I'm aware of it and I'm working on. That's why I'm taking months off to get a facelift and do things that are, like, going to keep my career going as long as I can on television. But I thought that was a really interesting point. She was like, well, they should talk about that with you. And I'm like, I think I might be offended if they did. If they did bring it up. But also, it is something that I'm planning for. And I just thought that was a. That's an interesting thing because we do have a shelf life. And I think models also probably don't get their reps. Don't talk to them about it. Even though models. It's a very. It's almost like. It's exactly like athletes.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

You know, but I bet it was not even. As it's rude to bring up with women.

[Chris]

Once you retire from comedy, what are you going to do? Are you going to become a commentator?

[Nikki Glaser]

Color commentary Of. Yeah. Of comedian specials? I. But I think it's because it's rude when women age. Talking about women aging is rude, whereas talking about a man aging is just a fact. And it doesn't. Because it doesn't diminish what you are. It doesn't. It doesn't mean that people. It doesn't. You know, it definitely Sucks. And you guys feel it and you become a little bit more invisible to the opposite sex. But it doesn't, it's not mean to say a guy is aging. It's like not a rude thing to say to him. Whereas a woman, it's like, it's. You would never ever. You don't ask a woman her age. You don't talk about, like, it's, it's, it's just unspoken. I think we just need to speak about it more. And I think it needs to be on women to also talk about it more too. Sure.

[Chris]

Men definitely have a better deal when it comes to aging. There's that. You remember the Bill Burr joke where he's like, men, men aging once. Once women get around children bearing age, then men start to surpass them in terms of how they age and how they're reacted to by society. But then once they get old, women just shoot above them and men become these, like, they're like impossibly disgusting and they can't even think anymore. And women are like, still playing cards and they're still with it. I don't, I don't think that's like the most. I would still take the man aging route, I think. But certainly when you reach a certain age, it's like, like my neighbor, my downstairs neighbors in her 90s now, and she still drives and she still has taken her dog out for walks. She's perfectly with it. I just can't imagine even meeting a man who's in his 90s who could even walk.

[Nikki Glaser]

Yeah, it does. It does. You guys seemed to become a little bit more helpless. Yeah, I was getting a ride from the airport, actually from a really, really old man that, you know, was assigned to, like, pick me up. And I felt really bad for him because he was kind of like, swerve. Like, it was like getting a drunk driver.

[Chris]

Honestly.

[Nikki Glaser]

That's what, that's what it was. But it was like one that I couldn't say, hey, this isn't okay.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

Because it would have been ages.

[Chris]

Yes. So he was old and drunk, this guy.

[Nikki Glaser]

It could have been. But I did get a joke out of it because his mouth was doing that like, dry mouth thing where I was just like. It was. Yeah, it was really like every time. Yeah. Yeah. Which is like an old man kind of thing. He was very sweet. And I think I, I kind of at one point was like, just get over, like, because it was like such bad traffic in New Orleans and all I want, I had like this, this three hour window to take a Nap. And I had not slept the night before. And I'm like, just looking at the clock, like, watching the Uber go from like, you know, 20 minutes to 25 minutes, then 27 minutes. And I'm like, if he doesn't get over, it's gonna add another 36. It was just like. And I was just like, no, like, now. Like, get over now. And I felt like, so bad, but I had to kind of like, yeah, but he was just too scared to get over. And I'm like, you just gotta get all like, you guys, there's a space that. Where, you know, where the car is. Like kind of a guy's on his phone, he doesn't look. So they leaves a big space.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

And that's when you go in. Yeah, you gotta get in.

[Chris]

You gotta assert yourself, you know?

[Nikki Glaser]

But I felt bad. I was like, that's gonna be karma. I shouldn't like, snap in an old man. And I wasn't, I wasn't rude, but I did, like, kind of get an urgency that I'm sure he didn't appreciate. But right then, what a gift was given to me by his chappy mouth because. Ended up being a punchline later on. Not. Not about him, but I compared, you know, my vaginal dryness to, like, the sounds of his mouth and it got a good laugh.

[Chris]

So, you know, just to let you know, it might not be dry mouth. It also could be dentures. People make that same noise when they're. Because they're. They're not. Their teeth keep moving around. It's like a nightmare. And they have to keep. Especially when they first get them.

[Nikki Glaser]

Okay, that's a good point. I think it was that. Yeah. Like, you. When you don't have teeth, you. Your mouth has to constantly do that.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

You have to do that a lot. I do know that and I have empathy for it because I'll be there someday too. So I felt a little bit bad because I was like, I'm going to be old and not want to not really know when to turn and not know how to turn on. Like, not know how to operate the van door. Like, I can't get mad at. This is just not fair because we're. Hopefully we'll all be there. I think there's going to be a climate disaster before I'll reach that age, but. Or like, you know, a civil war in which I'll literally shoot myself right away because I don't want to live in war. But that's why I want a gun for the civil war is Just a turn on myself.

[Chris]

The moment that they declare it, you're like, okay, I'm not.

[Nikki Glaser]

I'm sorry. I. I shout out to everyone who's been through war and survived it. Not. I'm not doing it. I don't. I don't want to live through it. It seems, like, so terrible. It seems like. And then once you get through it, you're scarred for life. No, thank you. I'm out. And so then, anyway, back to the NFL honors. Really just all over the place. But I will say that we have to go to break. Oh. So I'll tell you about the Super Bowl. I mean, I guess I have the Burt show to talk about and the super bowl when we get back after this. So then I get back on. I go to Pittsburgh. Amazing show. Shout Out Pittsburgh.

[Chris]

I really liked your Instagram story when you were writing. It's like, almost like ASMR in a way, where you're writing. Great show, Pittsburgh.

[Nikki Glaser]

Thank you. I really liked it, too. Isn't it? Thank you. I really. I shot it, like, late at night when I got back to my room, and I was, like, binging on Skinny Pop, and I was like, this is kind of a fun thing. I think I would watch that over and over because I love watching people write, and I love the sound of it. And it was, like, a really good pen, and I had the right amount of pieces of paper underneath it, so it made this really nice sound. Because if you're someone who knows what I'm talking about with asmr, like, if it's, like, too chunky of a pad, it's not as good of a sound. Like, you need the desk, like, kind of under it with, like, two pieces of paper on top and maybe, like, a. Like, a mat underneath it. So it was, like, a good sound. And then. And then I realized I cannot write. Like, there's no way for me to write without, like, I've forgotten how to write. It doesn't look like. So I have to go back and put in the T T S B U R. Like, yeah, your muscles atrophy.

[Brian Frangie]

I think I relate to this so much. I had to write a birthday card this weekend, and I was just like, oh, my penmanship is disgusting. It's My Y's and T's are, like, stuck together. It just.

[Nikki Glaser]

It's like guitar. Like, if you set it down like, you.

[Chris]

It's like, guitar. I can't even write guitar.

[Nikki Glaser]

Yeah. Or if you just, like, you think that writing is so ingrained in us, but it, like, really Isn't like I forget how to. To do it.

[Chris]

Nothing's ingrained in us.

[Nikki Glaser]

No, it isn't. Everything can be changed. You can. You can. Yeah. It's kind of nice that we're completely malleable.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

There's nothing that's, like, stuck in us.

[Chris]

It's both our greatest strength and our greatest weakness. Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

I love that. So, yeah, I wrote thank you, Pittsburgh on a pad of paper, and then I put it posted on my story, and I will do more of those because I enjoyed it, too. Thank you for that feedback, Brian. But the show was amazing in Pittsburgh. It was.

[Brian Frangie]

Who opened for you there?

[Nikki Glaser]

Tommy Brennan. Oh, the guy that I talked about on here. Remember when I was like, I saw this guy this morning on. On Instagram reels, and I, like, was so impressed by him.

[Chris]

Yeah, now I remember. But what was it? What did he post on reels?

[Nikki Glaser]

It was a joke about Moses, I think, in the Ten Commandments or something. And it was like. Like, oh, there was a joke about, like, it's like, thy shall not, like, covet thy neighbor's wife or whatever. Or cover, like. Yeah. And he's like, that's. That one sounds, like, pretty specific. Like, we. We know what was going on in his. Like, the other ones are like, thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not lie. That one's, like, really specific. They're like, is someone banging your wife? He's like, no. No. Are you sure you're your neighbor? Is it like. It was something. It just was so good. And. And I just, you know, like, you just get a sense about someone when you watch a clip of them that they're going to be a certain way. Like, I think I have a. I'm. I have a sixth sense about when someone's going to be my friend. Like, I just. I think I might not be the best at anything, but I'm pretty much the best at determining when someone's going to be a friend of mine. Almost, like, right away, like, love at first sight kind of thing with friends. And I just was like, I think I want to be friends with this person. And. And so not only was he so funny, just seemed kind. And boy, was I right. You're gonna love this guy, Brian. He's just. He's awesome. He's in New York. He.

[Chris]

Where's he?

[Nikki Glaser]

He works at the Cellar a ton. He's from Minneapolis originally.

[Chris]

Okay.

[Nikki Glaser]

Then he went to Chicago. He's from a family of eight kids, Catholic family.

[Chris]

Whoa.

[Nikki Glaser]

Really? Just kind, funny, nice. Was so appreciative. Of, like, all the perks of working with me on the road. Like, Emily was like, tommy's so sweet. She was like, I asked for his dinner order. And he's like, man, usually I'm just, like, scrounging for snacks backstage. Like, I get an actual meal that I get to choose what I want. And, you know, I was like, what do you want from Starbucks? He's like, whoa, really? And I'm like, like, really? Just sweet. Sweet.

[Chris]

And it reminds you, too, that stuff, like, that novelty, that reaction reminds you of how, like, oh, yeah, what I have is actually special.

[Nikki Glaser]

And it makes me feel good. Like, I love, like, treating people kindly, but I love a good, like, I love, like, seeing that I, I never, like, am waiting for it. Like, why isn't anyone thanking me? Like, I, I, I really don't search, seek that out because I just know all the people that I surround myself with are good people that are thankful. I've never felt taken advantage of. But it is nice to see that initial, like, whoa, that's cool. And, like, just, just to sweet it. And like, my, My cousin Maggie came backstage and he hung out and, like, with us, with her, like, instantly just fit in. The groove was really, really nice. And I, I just had so much fun. A new friend in comedy is always a new young friend in comedy. That kind of injects.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

An appetite for comedy. I think he's 29.

[Chris]

Whoa.

[Nikki Glaser]

At least he said his, his girlfriend, who is also. I mean, I think they're out. I don't mean to, like, out them, but she. She's a writer on SNL. And I think he said she's 29 too, so I assume he's 29, but her name is Casey. I forget her last name. She's really, really funny. And she writes. She's written for SNL for, like, a few years now. So she's like a savant, like, comedian, savant girl. And, and yeah, he was just really nice and it was so much fun. And, and he said that a besties, like, have been coming to his shows and stuff and, and reaching out to him. So it was so nice that you all, like, whoa. Someone that I like kind of gave some flowers to. So cool. Oh, final thought. I wanted to share. What a thing that I cannot believe. This was insane to me. This was, like, so exciting. I was on Reddit. I follow the Reddit podcasts because I'm always looking for, like, new cool podcasts to listen to, which, by the way, podcast recommendation. That is not a comedy podcast. It's not going to take away traffic from ours. It is a podcast that has been talked about so much on the girls chat telepathy tapes, or as Saralina calls it, telepathy tapes, because it is hard to read that word and say it right. I will, I will attest to it. You want to say telepathy. Well, telepathy tapes is so good. It's about non verbal autistic kids who can communicate who are telepathic with their mothers often or with each other. And you guys, it's nuts. And it's very well documented and it's like thousands of them. And it's like it's a real thing. They have telepathy. There's like, they do all these experiments. They like show you all the control settings for it so that you know, they're not cheating. There's nothing like. And these people, these, these kids that don't speak and use like an iPad to talk can. Their mother is given a random word from a word generator and they fucking type it out. Their mother's across the room thinking it numbers up to three digits and they, they give them dozens of these and they get it right 100 of the time.

[Chris]

Whoa. It's like a counting. Never mind.

[Nikki Glaser]

And I'm only. I'm only two episodes in and so I, I'm so excited to keep going on it. But telepathy tapes, like, I finally gave in because Anya was raving about it and then Saralina was like, I can't sleep, you guys, because I'm like scared that something like this exists. Like, it's. I'm alone in my house and like, even though it's not a creepy podcast, like the fact that something is so out of this world and out of the physical realm that there's. And scientists won't even like address this because they can't.

[Chris]

They have that with measure. They can't do sometimes, you know, do you know any twins?

[Nikki Glaser]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Sometimes they experience this.

[Nikki Glaser]

It explains why sometimes when you're thinking of someone, they'll call you. I mean, I think a lot of that's like a coincidence, but like, I do think I know for sure now that there's something else going on. There is something that these kids are tapping into. There's a frequency out there, like a radio frequency that they are on that we are not.

[Chris]

Well, there's more.

[Nikki Glaser]

You know, there's no question if you listen.

[Chris]

Our senses are limited and there's only. We're only interpreting the data of what our limited senses can. Oh, yeah. So there's A lot that they can't.

[Nikki Glaser]

Talk opens theirs up or something. I don't know.

[Chris]

Like colors don't exist. They're just interpret their vibration.

[Nikki Glaser]

Explain the color red to a blind person. You can't. You don't even know what to say. You're like, well, it's like a rose. And you're like, well like yeah. There's literally no way does. It's such an interesting thought experiment.

[Chris]

And one thing that also makes me feel comfortable is that you can think the same way you think about colors. You can think about time. Time is. Doesn't exist. It doesn't simply brains interpretation of vibration. So maybe it gives me. Yeah, maybe everything is happening at once.

[Nikki Glaser]

Oh. Or it's happening in different. That's what manifestation they think it is. It's like when you visualize something, you are tapping into the. What's it called? The universe. There's like, you know, infinite different things happening at once. Where dimensions where you are living a life where that could have gone the other way. Right. And when you are manifesting, when you picture a dimension, you are tapping into that quantum realm and finding that dimension and making it happen in your life. So there is a dimension where I'm dying and playing career. So is a dimension where I'm landing safely in St. Louis. There is a dimension where I'm you know, manifesting that million dollars or that, that call from that crush or whatever, all the things that people try to manifest. And you tap into that and then you make it happen. Because they found in the. That scientists were like able to study like things on a molecular level. And when they looked at the molecules, they could see them, but when they didn't, they couldn't see them. So if you picture it, you can see it. Things would appear that you could only see once you were looking at it.

[Chris]

It's both a particle and a wave.

[Nikki Glaser]

Yeah, but also Joe Dispenza's book who that taught me all about that. I found out he's a quack. So I don't know. I. I still believe in manifestation but I don't. I don't know.

[Chris]

He turned into a duck. He manifested it.

[Nikki Glaser]

Yeah, he manifested. So anyway, I'm on the podcast subreddit and I see. Let me pull it up. I was going to send it to you guys.

[Chris]

The podcast of telepathy tapes.

[Nikki Glaser]

Yeah. No, no, just. It's called just podcasts. One second. Sorry.

[Chris]

By the way, the main one, speaking of Reddit, my. Someone posted once again my Ford F150 Big Al cartoon on Reddit. It went viral and of course they cut off my. Oh, my God. They did. Yeah. And I'm not referenced in it at all. But it's nice to know at least that that's the second time it's gone viral on Reddit without me getting credited. But at least people think it's funny.

[Brian Frangie]

And while you're looking that up. So for Super Bowl, I didn't really do anything except Brian invited me to join his super bowl boxes, and I had no idea what that was. Yeah, I was like, okay, fine. So I sent him like 40 bucks and I ended up winning 50 bucks.

[Chris]

That's right.

[Brian Frangie]

The coolest thing was that. So I always knew that Brian was an animator, but I didn't know that you could. Your boxes was so cool.

[Chris]

Like the chart give everybody a personalized little, like, logo essentially for their box.

[Nikki Glaser]

Cool.

[Chris]

Noah was a cactus.

[Brian Frangie]

Cactus, yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

She's in Arizona.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Brian Frangie]

And I'm so much a cactus.

[Chris]

Yeah. Prickly cactus filled with water.

[Nikki Glaser]

Yeah. I will say that I'm. It's not lost on me that I just complain about people not asking about other people. And I haven't asked about your guys's weekends at all. But it's just because this is the podcast is what it is. If this were a conversation. Exactly. We just don't have enough time. And. And I'm sorry. I promise, if Brian, me, and Noah were at lunch, this would not be the conversation.

[Chris]

Well, let me say one thing, and that is box related. So huge success. The boxes were a huge success. It was the biggest pot I've ever done. It was twenty a box. So it wound up being a two thousand dollar pot, which means the winner of the final would get a thousand dollars. Well, Noah won the 5. 5, which is when your box is 5 and 5, which is the worst possible box you can get. So I give someone $50 for you having basically no chance of winning at all. Okay, but first.

[Brian Frangie]

Wait, so is that cheating? Did you put me there on purpose?

[Chris]

No, the numbers are selected randomly.

[Brian Frangie]

Oh, okay.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Brian Frangie]

So I feel good again.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

Wow.

[Chris]

So the prizes are awarded per quarter. First quarters the least. The half is the second most, third quarter's third most. And then the big prize is the final. And the winner of the final this year winning a cool $1,000 was. Bill Dixon.

[Nikki Glaser]

Good for Bill.

[Chris]

Yeah, Bill Dixon pulled it in.

[Nikki Glaser]

Yeah. I love that guy. I actually met two people last night from Love is Blind. And then they both were on the Bachelor, and they were like, nikki, we know Bill Dixon. And I was like, oh, my God, isn't he the best? And we just, like, sang Bill Dixon's praises, which. Bill Dixon was a producer on Bachelor, and then he was a producer on Fboy Island. He's one of my best friends. He. Yeah, creator. Sorry, creator of FY island, but executive producer on Bachelor. And I originally met, saw Bill because the Hannah's season, she was getting out of the car and, like, tripped on the sidewalk. And I saw a producer run out to help her, and I was like, oh, my God. That, like, never happens. Producers are always just, like, pushing people down, you know, they're not, like, helping. And I, like, posted about it on my story, I think, at the time, or Twitter, whatever was happening at the time this aired. And I was like, this guy is amazing. Who is this? I love seeing this. You never see this. Like, bravo to this producer for, like, being a real human. And then years later, Bill was like, hey, you posted about me once. I was like, I remember you.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

And Bill also has a viral tweet that always gets recirculated. That's when he was a waiter. He waited on Ludicrous. And Ludicrous sent back some spring rolls. And Bill went back to apologize for the spring rolls not being good. And he was like. He just said, yeah, sometimes spring rolls are like that. That. And Bill said. And I think about it at least once a week. And Bill was the original person that did the joke that you see all the time on Instagram. That's like. And I thought about it every day ever since. Whenever you see that line of like. And I've thought about it at least once a week the rest of my life. That is. That's. That's someone copying a joke format. That's not original. Throwing up in your mouth isn't a little bit. Isn't original. Checks, notes, Checks, yeah. Lives rent free in my head is not original. It's not funny. The first person who said it was, but everyone else has not been. And so Bill Dixon was the first person to say. And I've thought about it every day ever since. Sense that. I know that that would blow my mind if I wasn't a comedian. It would blow my mind that that was a written thing that someone had to conceive of first. And then everyone else said, no one ever. Yes, exactly. Like, just look out for those things. Like, people that use those aren't funny. They're, like, copying people who are funny anyway. But you shouldn't get. You shouldn't be mad at them because they're. They're just not funny.

[Chris]

They're just trying. They don't know.

[Nikki Glaser]

It's like me going like, womp, womp. Or like, like doing a musical thing that someone's like, well, someone originally composed. That was Disney gay. Gillette Gillespie.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

Dizzy Dyslexic.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Nikki Glaser]

So. Oh, wait, by the way, can we just real quickly, like, tell me your thoughts on the game? And like, what. What a blowout. I mean, I was. I was on a group chat with you, so I kind of saw your thoughts on it. But.

[Chris]

Yeah, well, quick thoughts on the game is that it was really boring. Just like. I mean, no offense, but, like, every Chiefs game this year has been boring. They've just slowly win games every time. And it was interesting because even in. When they're losing in a blowout, it was. It was boring. And you could see in the very end of the game when Patrick Mahomes threw that bomb to Xavier Worthy that it was within the Chiefs as an organization to be exciting this year. And for whatever reason, whether it was just sheer confidence or they didn't want to show their hand too early, they never tapped into that. Like, I would say, like, pure. Just playing the game that I'm used to seeing from the Chiefs, who are. Used to be, like, the most exciting team to watch.

[Nikki Glaser]

I was wearing all chief stuff, so people were looking at me like, huh, sucks to be you. And I was like, I don't really care, to be honest with you. I don't care. I just, like, I also am happy for the Eagles because I like that the owner donated to Kamala and. And he did some other cool stuff that was, like, on the right side of things, so I thought he was cool. And I like. And I like Philadelphia a lot. I think it's, like one of my favorite cities of all. Not just I, you know, I don't know about Eagles fans or whatever people think about them, but. So I didn't. I didn't really care. And I just look cute and red and I'm a swifty. Like, that's let's. And I know Travis and I know Randy Mahomes. Like, it doesn't matter why it's here for whatever. But I will say that I felt bad for them in the last quarter when it was kind of like, the game is over. Like, how. I know this happens all the time, but, like, I was looking at Chris like, why don't we just. Like, why don't they just say, you know, just take it. Like, you have to, like, keep trying. It's, like, so embarrassing. That you, like. It's almost like when I'm bombing really bad on a set, and you have to, like, do your time, and you're like, these people don't want it. The people in the audience hate me. They want to go home or, you know, or wherever, go back to their hotel rooms because they're at a conference where they were like, I was thrust on them because it's a corporate gig or. And. But I still have to do my time. And it's like, what. Can we just all agree that this isn't going well, but instead, I have to keep trying? And. And do I keep trying? Like, do I give it my all? Will it change anything? Like, like, at what point was it, like, so far gone that there was no coming back? Like, when would you say that was the point?

[Chris]

Oh, halftime. I mean, no team has ever.

[Nikki Glaser]

Oh, my God.

[Chris]

Really?

[Nikki Glaser]

I mean, didn't the Patriots come back from, like, a 28, 23 point?

[Chris]

Okay, yeah, 28 to three. I was 27 to three at halftime. It's so interesting because, you know, people say that Mahomes is the greatest of all time and not Tom Brady. Although the one time that they faced off in the super bowl or the one time they faced off in the Super Bowl, Tom Brady won. So head to head. But then also, it's like, Mahomes is down by 24 points at halftime in the Super Bowl. No one's ever been able to come back from that type of deficit except one person, and he happened to be announcing the game, and it must have taken so much composure.

[Nikki Glaser]

I was so happy for Tom, Brad. You know, like, I was sad for everyone associated with, like, Mahomes family and, like, you know, all the people that Chiefs fans like, like, you're sad for them. Like, people whose happiness depends on this.

[Chris]

It sucks.

[Nikki Glaser]

I was. I was like, tom. Tom Brady's happy right now, and I'm on board with that. Like, Tom gets to keep the goat title for now. Like, it does. It's. It's. It's not going anywhere. This was, you know, and I was like. I was. I was dying to have been at home to hear his commentary, because I bet his voice would have gotten, like, so much more chipper and, like, excited throughout, like, towards the end. Like, was there a noticeable, like, elation that you could sense in his voice?

[Chris]

Hard to tell. I mean, there's not a lot of range, but, yeah, he. He did. Tom Brady, though, did reference the roast.

[Nikki Glaser]

That's right. In a commercial.

[Chris]

In a commercial. A Duracell commercial. Very Self deprecating. Where Tom Brady is. They. They made it seem like we were just cutting to them in the booth. So, like, it wasn't a commercial. And then Tom Brady, like, shuts down like he's a robot. And we're all like, what the fuck? This supposed to be the game that's funny. And then they come in and the Duracell experts, like, we need to replace me to check his batteries. They open up his arm and he's got non Duracell batteries. And everyone's like, what the fuck? This is the Super Bowl. They put Duracell batteries into his arm.

[Nikki Glaser]

That's funny.

[Chris]

He turns back on and then Kevin. I forgot his last name. The other announcer says, tom, are you okay? And Tom Brady goes, why has everyone been answering asking me that since the roast?

[Nikki Glaser]

That's great. That's so funny. Good for him. Because he could have been like, no, we're cutting that yeah line, you know, like, okay, so we have to go. You're gonna have to listen to tomorrow's episode to find out what I saw on the subreddit podcast that is very interesting to me. But I know you'll be there tomorrow. You guys always are.
