Glaser Podcast.
Nikki Glaser
Here'S Nikki hello, welcome to the show. It's the Nikki Glazer Podcast. Here I am. It's Nikki Glaser. I I am in St. Louis with us is Noah, Sean, and Brian. What's up, core team?
Brian
Hola.
Nikki Glaser
Looking good in black. Nikki, looking good in black. I don't know. The girls chat is popping off about colors and what skin tone you should have and what colors are right. One more thing to add to the list as being a woman that you need to worry about. Like, I'm like, why am I inviting this into my life? I. I'm not doing it. I'm. I keep fighting every. Everyone's like, you know, we have to drape all these fabrics across us to find which yellow is right. And I'm like, how about it's always changes based on your spray tan or if you're wearing makeup. And also, I don't care. So what is. What happens if I wear the right color? I guess people are nicer to me, people like me more. I. I don't know what it gets you in life. You look prettier. I just saw a tick tock about how none of us are supposed to know what we look like because there were no mirrors invented until, you know, I don't even know when mirrors were invented. You would only see your reflection. You have to look at only reflection in a. In water. And we all know what that looks like. It's blurry. You can't see. You would never know what you look like, and therefore you would never be able to compare your looks to anyone else's. So there was no even. There was nothing even to compare to. Like, you didn't know what you were. So no one had iPhones?
Sean
Yeah, no, no. But like, when you would look into a pond, you, like, look into a pond and you're like, that's. I'm hideous.
Nikki Glaser
I'm rippled as hell, dude. Yeah, that's a really good point. Everyone just thought they were disgusting.
Brian
Except for narcissists. Who was the ultimate look into the pond guy? He was the first guy to ever look into the pond.
Nikki Glaser
Yeah, he was the first one. And he couldn't. Yeah, yeah. You think he's real.
Brian
Narcissist. He's still alive. He's on suits la.
Nikki Glaser
I just don't understand. Yeah, Like, I just don't want another thing to worry about. I just can't. I can't handle it. But it's. But yeah, it's.
Brian
I mean, between the war in Gaza and Trump and the yellow colors, it's like.
Nikki Glaser
And what colors we have match your skin tone.
Brian
It's like, how much can we have on our plate right now?
Nikki Glaser
And like, worrying about this Oscars weekend And, like, everyone being, like, best dressed, and this is the best. And this one looked really bad on her. And all these think pieces afterwards about what. Who really brought it with fashion. Who fucking cares, y'all? Like, tell me about it. I can't even. I know this is, like, to be, like, fashion stumble and, like, it doesn't mean anything because I know it's art, and I just. But, like, I just can't even believe we're still talking about, like, I was really disappointed in what Timothee Chalamet wore. You know, I can't even tell if it's a joke or not. If he's trying to make a statement, it's cool. But if he's just trying to challenge us, not cool. It's like, why do we care? Like, who cares?
Sean
You should only care when somebody's, like, really going for it. Like, you know, like with Bjork in the Swan or, like, the south park guys wearing J. Lo's dress. Like, the fact Jeremy.
Nikki Glaser
Yeah, you should. We should make jokes about it. Like, I like hearing that he looks like a stick of butter or that he looks like a highlighter pen or he looks like he's wearing the suit from Taylor Swift's music video.
Brian
I like, Conan made fun of Charlie May, didn't he? What did he say?
Nikki Glaser
Yeah, he said, you're definitely not going to get hit on a bike on the way home. Oh, yeah, yeah, that's great. But, like, don't talk to. I don't want to. I don't want to hear fashion people talking about, like, the choice he made and if it was right or not. And it's like, that is not taking fashion seriously. It's not really interesting to me. But you know what? I'm. I'm in one of those moods today where I think I'm just, like, I didn't hate her. I didn't sleep for 20, 27 hours between that's landing in L. A on Sunday.
Brian
Because you had your arm caught between two rocks in Utah.
Nikki Glaser
Yeah.
Sean
Yeah.
Nikki Glaser
That's what it feels like doing Kelly and Mark. No, I. I'd love to get my arms between those two, but no, I. Yeah, I went to. I landed from Vancouver. We landed, like, 11 in the morning, Sean. So I slept a little the plane. And then that night, after two shows in Vancouver, I think I had two out, two and a half hours of sleep. Slept another three hours on the plane. So coming off of five hours of sleep and then. And then went into Oscars getting hair and makeup and then doing a fitting Because I had to do Kelly and Mark the next day. Fitting for that. And then jumping right into my Oscars look, headed to the dinner, going to the three parties afterwards. And then. And then going into hair and makeup at 3 or going to bed watching White Lotus because I was still like, up when we got home from the parties. And then, um, we got home at probably midnight, watched White Lotus in bed by one.
Brian
Yeah.
Nikki Glaser
Uh, and then I had to be up at 3 to get hair and makeup for Kelly and Mark. And then after Kelly and Mark, I didn't have time to, like, I had like three hours between that ending and getting picked up for the airport. And I was just like, well, I don't really have time to take a nap. But, like, so then I just went to the airport and then I had a fucking connecting flight. All I wanted. I was like, so excited to get on a direct flight. And I'm not joking you, when I saw that it was a connecting flight, I started crying. Like, I couldn't handle it. I was. And one of the seats was an aisle which I can't sleep in. So I was just like, oh, my God. But at least I was. It was a. I had a layover in Dallas where they have an American lounge. And so I just got to like, sit and I just. I love. I love days traveling home when I'm alone. It's the best day of my life. I love traveling alone. I love not having to talk to anyone. I love looking like disgusting, dressing disgusting. Having kind of people, like, not. Not really talk to you. Like, I love that the airport code is like, no one talks to each other. Yeah. Yeah. Which I would never be, you know?
Sean
No. But you could also, like, I. Anytime someone tries to talk to you, you can just be cold. Like. And no one could get mad at you because, like, everyone's like, oh, yes, people have. Are dealing with their own shit at the airport.
Nikki Glaser
Like, yeah, yeah. And I'm unrecognizable. I feel. So I just can get away with. But no one even tries to talk to me. I mean, maybe they do when I'm noise canceling headphones so I don't hear them, but I just. Oh, I. I love it. I love a day of, like, autonomy. Like, no one can get you. No one's with you to, like, it's. I love people being with me. And I. I do not always love being alone, but it feels like when you're at an airport, you're not alone alone. I hate being at my apartment alone. That I literally landed and went right to my parents house and spend the night there. I spent the night. My parents last week too. Like, I don't want to be at my place alone at all. Chris is out of town right now, so. Yeah, I.
Brian
But there's a key factor to the air to the airport thing, which is also that you're not doing this yourself. Like, if you chose to have like a retreat where no one could access you and you went to like, you know.
Nikki Glaser
Oh, yeah, it's being forced to do that.
Brian
Yeah. So when you're on, there's no one to pressure you to do anything because you're forced to do this for work. So sorry. I'm at the airport.
Nikki Glaser
No sightseeing. There's no, like, I don't have to do anything while I'm at the airport. There's no exhibits to go look at or, like, activities to engage in. Like, it is just. You get to sit and go to Starbucks and walk to your gate. And I was gonna ask. I love nothing. I was gonna ask if you spoil yourself at the airport. Because whenever I travel, I'm always like, well, I can get any snack or any drink I want, no matter the cost, because I'm traveling. Oh, cost, Yes. I don't think about cost at all. And I generally. And I, you know, even when I couldn't afford, you know, an $8 protein bar, I still was like, well, there's nothing else to do. There's no. They have a monopoly. So everything. What am I not gonna eat it? So, yeah, I do treat myself, but not in terms of like, I'm gonna be bad and have bad stuff because I'm sedentary all day. So I also feel bad about that.
Brian
And also, you fly so much that if you got involved with some bad stuff, it would be every day you'd be eating.
Nikki Glaser
It's every. Yeah, it's two days. I am eating. Yeah. Like shit. True, true.
Sean
But I do. I. I always. I like being alone in an airport as well, because I Like, there's a hustle and bustle happening. It's why I enjoyed living in New York, is I never felt alone. But I hate being in la. Cause it gets quiet and then I'm alone.
Nikki Glaser
Alone. I love a hustle and a bustle around me because I can almost feed off of it and feel as if I am working on that Excel spreadsheet next to me. Or I am. Yeah, like there's. There's company. But it's not that you have to be active with, like, it's. It's a mall vibe that you never get anymore. Because we don't go to malls.
Brian
No, it's a mall mixed with a coffee.
Nikki Glaser
You don't talk to anyone. You literally. No one makes eye contact. No one is mingling at the airport. It's awesome.
Sean
No, no, that's what I kind of love about, like, New York.
Nikki Glaser
When.
Sean
Yeah. New York and the airport is if someone murders you, there will be people to stop it.
Brian
Yeah.
Nikki Glaser
Yeah, that's a really good point. Yeah, I think that's. That's why I like it. I think it's like New York. I really. I. It's the same vibe of like, you know, it's like why I go to Starbucks to get work done because I just need people around. I need to feel like it's. It's. Yeah. That if there's a murder, someone's there to witness it. That's really it. Because they're not going to do anything, as we know from bystander effect.
Brian
But I've said this before, but. L. A, you know, if you're. If you're walking around late at night in la, it's very frequent that there will be just one guy who looks kind of creepy or whatever. Yeah, it's just him. And it's just you and him. And it really is. A, he only has one choice of victim. It's you. And B, there's no one to save you.
Sean
God, every time I go outside at night and I'm like, on an edible, I am freaking out. I. Like, someone is going to murder me. I just. That's just how I'm living my life.
Nikki Glaser
On. Yeah.
Sean
Am I getting anything out of this weed? No, I'm not.
Nikki Glaser
No.
Sean
I'm just viewing myself as a future victim. Even though no one who looks like me ever gets murdered.
Nikki Glaser
Oh, I. It's not even people. It's cars too. Because I live in a part of the city where there's like, you know, just. There are so many cars where you can see the engine exposed. Like just the front is missing of the car. It literally is like a zombie kind of apocalypse for cars in my neighborhood where they will be missing the entire front where you see all of the. The metal, like all of the engine work beneath or the whole bump. The rear bumper is completely stripped off and you could see, like, the axle. So there's a lot of, like, zombie cars driving around and going like, like you can hear them. Like there's some kind of like, noise coming up and then they're stopped at a stoplight. I'm Walking my dog, and I'm like, they. I'm gonna about to get murdered. And I kind of run through it, and I go, like, where do I hope they shoot me? And then I picture my dog. Like, what's she gonna do? Like, I hope that I fall onto the leash and so she can't run away. Like, I hope that if I die, I collapse upon the leash, and then it, like, creates, like, a paperweight for the leash. And then she's just kind of next to me because I think she would just run and then get hit by a car. So I worry about that stuff a lot. And sometimes I wish they would, because I just don't want to do the. Whatever I have to do later that day. And I'm like, that'd be kind of cool to get to. In the hospitals nearby. Like, just be a here. Like, survive it. Be a hero. Definitely don't want that to happen. But there is a. There's a part of my sick brain that kind of goes through, like, oh, it would be like a forced vacation.
Sean
I know. Like, I hate this because it's something that I feel like my mom would say, but I'm like, the idea of, like, somebody attempting to murder you, and, like, you survive and, like, just getting out of everything. But everyone is also, like, telling you how they feel, and it's all positive. I want that. I want to be Munchausen.
Nikki Glaser
I was kind of jealous of the people in the plane crash that flipped over who weren't harmed because you are getting out of stuff for weeks of, like, is really traumatic.
Brian
And 30 because it was dollars. Wow.
Nikki Glaser
Oh, yeah. Yeah. They got 30.
Brian
30K for almost dying?
Nikki Glaser
No, that's 30,000 miles. They got.
Brian
Oh, yeah, they got towards another flight point, which is 5,000 miles.
Nikki Glaser
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um. No, you're so. Like, I was thinking about that flight, and, like, I was kind of like, man, I wish our flight would kind of, like, flip over. I probably wouldn't. I get out of work for at least a week. Like, no one could be like, nikki, we really need you to reply to this email about approving these pictures that might go up for this new date we're announcing. Like, no one would be like, we need that. We need you to follow up on that. If I'd be like, well, sorry, my plane flipped over, you know, like, that would be pretty good. So I just want something like that to happen, but I don't really survive that. I know that's traumatic.
Brian
In January, people's houses burned down, and they got at least That I was.
Nikki Glaser
On calls with them weeks late, like a week later, I was like, on, you know, calls with agents whose houses burned down. And it was so. I felt so bad for them to have to care about the mundane, you know, aspects of my career and being like, well, there's this script that came in and I'm like, your house is gone. And they shouldn't have said that. But no, they, they were really, they were actually really nice. They were. Because I said, I'm so sorry. You even have to like, read like a script that I might do, you know, like. And they go, no, this is a good distraction. And that's a nice thing to say, but I was just like, man, if your house burned down, I would, I would try to get out of work for a lot longer. Yeah, but people are passionate about work and they do love work and they throw themselves into it. And as someone who's like that as well, I get it.
Brian
But one of my friends house burned down. He. He lives in the east side and he bought a house in Altadena and he closed the house the week before the fires, and then it burned down the week after he closed on it. So it was good and bad because he didn't have any of his stuff in the house. So he just.
Nikki Glaser
Yeah, yeah.
Brian
But also he was just. If it was one week earlier, he wouldn't have closed on it and it wouldn't have been his.
Sean
Yeah.
Nikki Glaser
When I got that apartment right before COVID that I never lived in.
Brian
Yeah.
Nikki Glaser
I discussed $8,000 a month for 12 months that I never lived in it, but not the same at all. But also like, does what's going on with insurance with those houses? Like, I haven't heard any follow up. I've heard that it was going to be impossible and it will tank the economy for those payouts to happen.
Brian
Yeah, it's something like billion dollars in damage. It's going to tank the insurance industry in the region for sure. But right now the big thing is there's going to be civil lawsuits. There's already several different law groups that have jumped on the opportunity, have already done the research to find culpability, and are airing ads to say, is your house burned down in the Altadena fire? Well, we have already discovered culpability and we can get money for you or whatever. So that's, that's all gonna happen and there's gonna be lawsuits. I guarantee you something like the electric company is gonna get sued or something like that for like a, a spark that started the fire on A line.
Sean
That's the Altadena one. And then the Palisades is. Somebody was setting off fireworks on New Year's, and, like, the ember was lingering. And that guy must be so humiliated right now.
Brian
No, because anyone who would do that is incapable of feeling humility.
Nikki Glaser
Totally. And, you know, he was doing it five days later or six days later. You know, like, that spark didn't happen on New Year's. So, like, I just.
Brian
The firework culture in L. A. Is repulsive, and it should be outlawed. I cannot believe how many freaks launch fireworks on these holidays. They just ruin. They ruin nature. They set our town on fire. They scare dogs. It's. It's a repulsive habit that needs to end. And I don't. I don't agree.
Nikki Glaser
You preach.
Sean
I got yelled at once on Twitter after, like, I think the Lakers won the, like, NBA championship, and I was complaining about the fireworks, and somebody was saying that this is why you're a gentrif. You're. This is why we look at you as a gentrifier. And, like, it's like, this is part of our culture. And it's like, what are you talking about? Like, my dog is just shaking, and it's annoying because we have a baby who's trying to sleep, and you're setting off fireworks because you guys.
Nikki Glaser
No, your dog is shaking because it's really disturbed by your racism.
Sean
That is true.
Brian
Is this a racism thing? Is fireworks a racist?
Nikki Glaser
I think it's popular in certain. Maybe certain communities.
Brian
Okay, well. Well, it's gotta end.
Sean
Yeah.
Nikki Glaser
White people love fireworks too, though. I'm sorry.
Sean
Oh, they do.
Nikki Glaser
I mean, white people aren't celebrating things, though, because it's like, they're always winning. So, like, they don't. They don't need to, like, be loud about it when it. When it happens specifically. That's just a theory. And I don't think they always be winning because. Please don't mince my words. Mince my words. Christopher Mintz. Please. My words.
Sean
People were setting off fireworks when Anora won on Sunday.
Nikki Glaser
Oh, my God. Yeah. Let's talk about the Oscars when we get back right after this.

Hey. So we quickly want to touch on something serious. We talked about it when it came out, but wow. That commercial with Tom Brady and Snoop Dogg for stand up to all hate has really stuck with me.

Chris
Hi, it's Jenny Garth. We all know the importance of taking care of our physical and mental health, but what about our sexual health? I've been there feeling totally stuck when it comes to my libido. That's why I started taking Addie. And let me tell you, I have seen firsthand what a difference it can make in how you feel. Addi is the only FDA approved pill clinically proven to help certain premenopausal women have more interest in sex, have more satisfying sex, and lower the stress from low libido. Addi has helped hundreds of thousands of women get their drive back, including me. Talk to your doctor or visit a d d y I.com to learn more about Addie the Little Pink Pill. Individual results may vary.
Matt and Joel
Addi or Flibanserin is for premenopausal women with Acquired Generalized Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder HSDD who have not had problems with low sexual desire in the past who have had low sexual desire. No matter the type of sexual activity, the situation, or the sexual partner, this low sexual desire is troubling to them and is not due to a medical or mental health problem, problems in the relationship, or medicine, or other drug use. ADDI is not for use in children, men, or to enhance sexual performance. Your risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting is increased if you drink one to two standard alcoholic drinks. Close in time to your ADI dose. Wait at least two hours after drinking before taking Addi at bedtime. This risk increases if you take certain prescriptions, OTC or herbal medications, or have liver problems and can happen when you take Addi without alcohol or other medicines. Do not take if you are allergic to any of Addi's ingredients. Allergic reaction may include hives, itching or trouble breathing. Sometimes serious sleepiness can occur. Common side effects include dizziness, nausea, tiredness, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep and dry mouth. See full PI and medication guide including boxed morning@ addy.com PI addy.

Okay so it was the Oscars on Sunday. It was a I I watched it from I went to the I got invited to the Vanity Fair watch party which is like was so many famous people, probably like 150 people all at like 12 tables and in this Room where it's. That's where the Vanity Fair party is after the show. That's where all the Oscar winners or, you know, people that were at the Oscar show go to after the Oscars, but we were already there. So we get in, we walk the red carpet. When we go to this dinner, and it's on the big screen, and it was really fun. I was at a table with Seth Rogen and his wife and then Olivia Wilde, who I'd never met before. But it's just so pretty. It's, like, wild. It's, like, hard to look at her almost. It's not hard to look at her, but it's like you want to look at her, but you feel like you might. You. You might get caught gawking and, like. And also, she's so pretty. She's just heard she's pretty like you. She's so remarkably gorgeous. Like, you don't even want to say, she looks good tonight because it's like, it's. I. I don't even know if there's anything I've heard in my life as much as she's probably heard you're so beautiful. It's probably, like, people have told me, calm down, or, what's wrong with you? Or, here's your. Here's your venti latte. Like, I don't even know what. I could hear that much in my life that she has heard that. So. But she looked stunning, and she was so nice and so chill. Chris and I were just, like, so enamored by how lovely and at ease, like, and funny and cool she was, and just really, really loved her. Loved her vibe. And I was obvious. I was nervous to meet her because she just has been someone I wanted to be like. I. I did say, like, I've been. I've been watching you from afar for so long. Like, I love you. And she was, like. She was really nice to me. And then who else is at our table? An actress named Megalyn. And I'm forgetting her last name. It is very long and has a lot of consonants in it, so I didn't memorize it, but she was so nice.
Brian
She was from, like, Eastern Europe.
Nikki Glaser
I don't maybe, like, ethnic. Ethnically, but she's American.
Sean
She's like a larger Lynn, like, Megalyn.
Nikki Glaser
She's actually a very tiny person. But she was so nice and so.
Brian
Cool, like, such a Kun woke.
Nikki Glaser
Thank you.
Brian
I don't know how to pronounce it either.
Nikki Glaser
Yes, exactly. But she was. She sat right next to me. She was amazing. Then I. There was a guy named Lee. Lee Eisner, I believe. Maybe his last name or his first name isn't Lee, but it was definitely Eisner. He's not related to Michael, is it? Michael Eisner? Yeah, he. This guy Lee. I think his name was Lee. He. He had seen me. He was like. He didn't know who I was. I introduced myself at the table. He was very nice, older man, probably 70. And he was like, oh, I know you. I saw you at Largo on Judd Apatow show. And that was, like, upset. I really thought I did not do well on. And I remember being like, oh, God, that was uncomfortable. But I'm just not gonna even, like, I'm not gonna let it in. It's fine. Judd doesn't care. No one cares. It's fine. I just didn't have the best set. But he was like, I've been talking about your set ever since to so many people. And I was like, okay, my perception is off then. Or at least he. He got it. And I even addressed. I think during it, during the set, I know that I knew I did bad because I. I have this part of. I have this joke where I talk about having suicidal thoughts, and I'm like, my life is great. I do this. I do, like. I talk about, like, what's going on in my life. And I'm like, I still want to kill myself. And in that list, I go, you know, I'm. I'm successful in something I love. I'm. All my friends and family are happy and healthy. I go, I usually do really well at the Largo. And they laugh really hard. They laugh really hard at that. So I knew. I knew that they, like, were like, does she know she's not doing well? So. But anyway, he was really nice, but he worked with David Geffen. He was a lawyer for. For, like, David Geffen or for maybe Warner Brothers. I forget, like, Warner. Warner Music. He discovered Prince. Prince sent in his tape, which was a reel to reel tape that he brought home and listened to because he was obsessive about not missing out on, like, all the. Like, maybe if the one tape he didn't listen to was going to be the biggest. Was gonna be a Prince musician in the world was gonna be Prince. And so he took this home and listened to it. And he also bought. He. He was dating Woody Guthrie's daughter and was staying at Woody Guthrie's house when Bob Dylan showed up on his doorstep in the 60s looking for Woody Guthrie, a kid from Minnesota, like, in a Complete unknown. And I'm sitting at this table with this guy.
Brian
So he's like 70 or something?
Nikki Glaser
Yeah, he's probably 70, but he's a good looking guy. Is his name Lee Eisner? Did you find that name, anyone? Will you look it up?
Brian
And he's the son of a famous.
Nikki Glaser
Just type in Eisner. Geffen. No, he's not. He might be a son of something famous, but he's. I don't think it's related to the. Eric. Eric.
Brian
Eric Eisner.
Nikki Glaser
Okay. Yes. And he was so nice and had so many great stories and we just had a great time. And then we're watching the Oscars and. And who else was it? It was Lauren. And then. Yeah, I think that's it. That was the whole table and Chris. And then we watched the Oscars and we're just like laughing and commenting on it like, you know, it's like I'm with like Seth Rogen is saying the funniest shit ever, you know, under his breath kind of things and we're all like cracking up and we're just like having. It was really fun. It was. It's really fun to watch the Oscars with a bunch of famous people who are like. And kind of like trying to read the room of like when you should be excited or like, oh, that. Oh, and Alex Edelman was there as well at our table. And he was at every t. I think every table got an Alex, but he was at our table too. And that was fun. And. But then the whole. I mean it was like. It was a star studded room. Mick Jagger was. He was at our party and then he went to the Oscars and all of a sudden he was presenting and we were all like, wasn't he just here? It's like across town, by the way. It's like 30 minutes away at least. And then he comes back to the party.
Brian
He didn't want to be in there.
Nikki Glaser
He was sitting at a table right next to me. Crazy.
Sean
That's wild. But it does make sense because when he appeared on the Oscars, he was in constant movement. So he obviously like sped walk across town. Didn't want to break his stride.
Nikki Glaser
He looked great, he was cool. But there was. It was cool. And then we. And before the show there was like a, like a lounge kind of area before. Before the dinner, a lounge area. And then they were like, it's time to go in for dinner. So we were all like, after the red carpet, we're just kind of all hanging out watching like the Show. There's a big screen, and Kevin Bacon and his wife Kyra Sedgwick, like, came and were, like, sat next to me and were like, we want to sit with you. We. You killed it on the Globe. They were so, so nice.
Sean
One degree from Kevin Bacon. Yeah.
Nikki Glaser
Oh, my God. And I'm. Yeah, I'm right there. Kevin Bacon introduced himself to Chris as Kev, and we loved that. And they're gonna come see me at the. My New York show at the Beacon. And I was. So we met at this initial party, and then, like, three parties later, we were leaving the party to go home, and we saw Kevin and Kevin coming back into the party, and I go, bye, Kevin. And he was like, okay, see you at the Beacon. He goes, well, you won't see me, but we'll be there. And I just, like. I like that. Acknowledging. He's like, well, we're gonna be the audience, so you won't see us. But I was like, well, please come backstage. But they were so freaking nice.
Brian
Wow.
Nikki Glaser
Cool.
Brian
Down to Earth guy.
Nikki Glaser
So down to earth. They were telling us about how they met and. And they've been together for, you know, like, 40 years or something like that. Like, they were. They were. She was so nice. Patricia Clarkson is a giant fan of mine. I didn't.
Sean
Whoa.
Nikki Glaser
Obviously know who she is. But she came up to me. It was so. I'm. I'm sorry. This is like a brag sesh. But I was just talking. We want to know because Anya sent me a video today of Patricia Clarkson talking about Harvey Weinstein, and I hadn't even told Anya that Patricia Clarkson is this woman that came up to me during the party and said all these nice things. So I got this message. So I was just talking about her. That's why it came to mind. But she came up to me and was like, you need to under. She was like, I'm Patricia Clarkson. She was like, and I'm no. I'm no Meryl Streep, but I'm right behind her. And she was like, I am obsessed with you. I talk about you to everyone I know. All of my girlfriends know about you. You should be running this goddamn town. Like, she was so, so great, so emphatic. Like, I don't think I've ever met anyone that is that big of a fan of me. I, I, I. I really don't. I was like, you just made my night. She was so cool. She was. I just loved her. And then Bill Maher was there. It was nice to see him. Oh, and Then I went up to the guy from the White Lotus, Patrick Schwarzenegger, who plays that Saxon. That's from last time when you were kind of like, I'm not gonna go up to people. So now you're going up. Chris told me I had to. So we were about to leave the Vanity Fair party to go to the Chapel Roan performance at the Elton John party, because she was going on at 9:45, and it was like, 9:30. And I'm like, we gotta go. And he's like, I want to challenge you. You need to go up to one. Like, go up to one person and say you. And I was like, I just don't know that Jeremy Strong was right there. I was going to go up to him, but he doesn't seem like someone who is even like. I just feel like that would be an awkward interaction for him. I just don't think people care. I don't. Especially people that are that famous and, like, it's like the Olivia Wilde pretty thing. Jeremy Strong knows he's the best actor. I don't need. He doesn't care if he glazed.
Brian
I mean, I have a feeling he. It depends, I think. I have a feeling Jeremy Strong would lap that up. I think he would. Especially after he lost. I mean, I think. Think someone coming up to him saying, like, you're my favorite actor. You're such an amazing actor.
Nikki Glaser
That's what I was gonna say.
Brian
Yeah. Like, that's, like, good for him.
Sean
I think it's why he does it, to be honest. Like, really? Yeah.
Nikki Glaser
He seems like Anya. Like, he doesn't do it for the attention. He does it to, like, get a message.
Brian
Why did he wear the Dr. Seuss outfit at the Globes then?
Sean
He want. He wanted so much, like, in every single one of those, like, huge biographical articles that people always do on Jeremy Strong. That's what he did, like, growing up is like, he, like, approached Al Pacino and was like, you're my hero. And then like, he was like, can I study other?
Nikki Glaser
You do unto others. Yeah, yeah.
Sean
So I think he wants that a little bit.
Brian
Well, you did note that Sean noted that when Kieran Culkin complimented Jeremy Strong after winning and he lost, Jeremy did not respond with a smile, essentially.
Nikki Glaser
Yeah. I'm sorry to say on that that I can't. But, yeah, I maybe wouldn't have either. Yeah, I. I might have been complimenting that performance of his as well if I went up to him. I like someone who's not gonna give someone what they want just because, you know, like, that's also the Jeremy Strong I fear is, like, the one that's just honest with his reaction.
Brian
Yeah.
Nikki Glaser
Like, he's not going to pretend to be flattered if he's not. And so, like, I don't want him to.
Brian
He felt like it was maybe, like.
Nikki Glaser
Perfunctory, like, him too much. Yeah. And I. And I also, like, it's. That's what this part. Like, he's getting it a thousand times at night. He was a nominee. Like, what's one more girl? Being like, by the way, you're my favorite actor. And, like, I don't even think he probably knows who I am. It just doesn't even. I just don't. I'm not saying I'm not trying to devalue myself by being like, it doesn't matter what I think, but it really doesn't. Even if I was super duper famous, I just don't think. I just don't think one more person. Even though I do enjoy that. I don't know why I think that other people wouldn't. I don't know what it is, but I will say that I did see Patrick Schwarzenegger as we were walking out, and I go, okay, this is my one. Because he was just entering so I could tell, like, and I don't think he was at the Oscars. So I'm like, oh, he just got to this party. He hasn't been inundated with people telling him how great he is yet. He kind of just broke on the scene with White Lotus. He hasn't been around forever, hearing how great he is for over and over. Here's my chance. He's young, too, so he probably knows who I am a little bit more than a Jeremy Strong would. And I was like, 31 years old. I love you. And I. My enthusiasm for White Lotus right now is like, I haven't. I didn't see Jeremy Strong's performance in the Apprentice. If I had, I think I would have felt justified in going up to him to, like, talk about the thing he's nominated for. But me being like Kendall Roy, you know, like, it just is, like, kind of. And that's really all I remember him from. And from, you know, the. What's the one? The. The money movie with not Matt Damon, but the picture. Yeah. He's great in the big short. His performances. I know. And I feel like that's not enough. And it's short. 10 favorite things.
Sean
I love every article about Jeremy Strong. I almost had a Google alert for Jeremy Strong. He's he's so interesting.
Nikki Glaser
He really is.
Sean
And, yes, I don't feel like. The weird thing is I was like, I really feel like I could be friends with Kieran Culkin. I feel like there's a similar vibe. We're very annoying. Everyone dislikes us.
Nikki Glaser
We love our world, loves Kieran. He's. No, you totally. You are very Kieran. But Kieran also, like, I just keep sending you Sean, Jesse Eisenberg interviews about Kieran because I can't tell if he hates him or not.
Brian
Oh, my God.
Nikki Glaser
It's so fascinating to hear Jesse talk about casting Kieran after, like, not ever even meeting him. And then Jesse said that he's worked so hard for months and months with everyone on set, the crew, the cast, like, trying to get to know them, trying to, like, endear himself to these people. He's going to be directing and, like, you know, he wrote the. The piece and he's going to be acting with. And then Kieran showed up one day on set and is better friends with every single person on this. On the set, like, than he ever did with all the months of work he put in. And some people are just like, that.
Brian
They're just like, that's kind of what the movie's about.
Nikki Glaser
Yeah, that is a good point.
Sean
It's so. It's so interesting. I. I love every single one of these interviews because it does feel like he broke Jesse Eisenberg.
Nikki Glaser
I love Jesse Eisenberg. He is so funny, and I really like the way he talks. I think he's so intelligent and he. He really uses great words, but he doesn't seem pretentious about it. Like, I. I'm. I've become such a. I was already a fan of his acting, but I think I'm. I'm such a fan from watching him in interviews. I really. Ever since, like, I just don't like the whole, like, acceptance speech where he's Kieran, where he keeps telling his wife to have babies or, if I'm gonna win this, then we're gonna have more babies. And it's like, I know she's down for it. I know, like, it's between them. It's not weird, but, like, I just don't like this whole thing of, like, women. Men work and earn and women just make more of the man. I just don't like. I just. And I know that's not where it's coming from. I think I would. I love Kieran. I'm. I don't mean to do all these caveats to me it just is like, I just hate looking at a wife being like, yes, oh, I'm so proud of you. I'll keep having your babies and putting my body through this and like, like it's so easy or something. Or it's like, or it's like a gift to her. Like, if I win, you get to do have another baby for me. It's like, why is that equal payoff? Like, I get it.
Sean
I think that is like, it is insane to share that at the Oscars, especially when that was like a plot, like a subplot on 30 Rock. That's why Tracy was trying to egot was because his wife said she would give him a daughter. And it's like, it's so silly to even do that and to bring that up in a real scenario. I was just like, I don't, I.
Nikki Glaser
Just don't see his acceptance speech this time. Was it. Did he mentioned it? Right? Because I know he did it at the last year or something at the Globes.
Sean
Yeah. And it was, it was all she was like, we could have another kid if you win the Oscar. And then he brought it up again and it was just. I just feel like that's a private thing. I know it's being silly and being so free.
Nikki Glaser
I don't think that they don't deserve my judgment for that, but I think for me, because I'm just like, so, like over. Like you have to. Women just have kids and that's all you do. And also I'm. I think it just hit me the wrong way. But.
Brian
But he's an open book and that's why people like, at least he didn't.
Nikki Glaser
Start singing at the end of his acceptance speech. That was so bad, Amelia.
Brian
Yeah, that's was.
Nikki Glaser
Can we go back to you guys watching? Because I want to know, like, what was your reaction when you saw Adam Sandler? Oh, so that was on the red carpet. So we got there a little bit late. And so when I got there, we, Chris and I arrive. I'm doing interviews with, you know, ET and extra and all these. Yeah, the alien. It was really one sided conversation. He didn't have a lot to say.
Sean
Wearing who?
Nikki Glaser
Yeah, I talked into his finger and so. And then I did. I was doing all these like interviews and then the monologue started and that was like the most important thing for us to see. We love Conan. Chris is producing the Mark Twain prize for Conan O'Brien. Like, we wanted to see Conan's monologue and it's starting. And so in between interviews, Chris Is like, it's Conan starting. And I'm like, I got. I'm sorry. I gotta do, like, more. I'm sorry. Because you go down the line, and these people go like, nikki, please. Like, and they're longing faces. And I kind of know some of these people at this point, and I felt bad, so I was like. And he goes, I'm just gonna pull it up on my phone. So Chris is watching the live stream of the. The thing behind, like, while we're on the red carpet, kind of like in the. The wings of the carpet. And then I finished this interview, and now it's time to go to the part of the carpet where you get your picture taken. But there's kind of like a gap between the two areas of the interviews. And then the picture. And Chris is like, before we go do the picture, why don't we just, like, finish watching Conan's monologue? Because it had just. Just kind of started a minute before. So then we are just looking at his phone. I wish someone would have been recording us so badly when it got to the part with Adam Sandler, because we were kind of like, huh. This is like, kind of a similar. Like, they're talking to Adam Sandler. We were both kind of like, what's good is this. Are. I almost felt bad. Like, wait, did we do something that they had planned to do? Like, was it. Was it us? I don't know. I was just starting to feel like, oh, no. Like, what's this gonna be? And then when I just had a feeling when he started running up right before he said goodbye, I was like, is this about to happen? Like, that would be so insane. And then when he just grabbed him and said, a shadow May. Chris and I just. Jaws on the floor. Like, both, like, just frozen. Like, Edward Munch scream painting. Like, both of us looked at each other, like, open. And then a guy from, like, the crew at one of the ET Shows or whatever was like, yeah, that just happened, Nikki. That just happened. And we were like, oh, my God. And then we started. Chris's phone just started, you know, like, all the text messages started coming. I was getting text messages. It was crazy. And we were just. We were happier than. I mean, we just got a house, and we were literally, like, a day before. We were happier about this by far than buying a house.
Brian
What?
Nikki Glaser
Yeah, we bought a house.
Brian
Throw that in there in the middle of this story.
Nikki Glaser
I don't want to talk about it because I'm kind of stressed out by the whole thing. Not because I don't want the house, not because I don't like the house. Oh, it's very stressful. Don't people keep going, like, what are you gonna do with this room? And what are you gonna do with this? How would you do this room? And, like, where are you gonna put this thing? And I'm just like, I don't. My sister. We just were at the house, and my sister goes, so, would you maybe, like, paint this? And I was like, lauren, I don't care. She goes, oh, I forgot. I was like, I don't. And I. I'm not trying to be like, I don't care because I'm cool. And, like, paint colors don't matter to me. I literally don't even understand how you could care. I just. It's already painted a good color. Like, unless it was, like, a neon green brat, then I would just keep it. But no, if it was like, unless it was some gaudy color, I would. It would never occur to me to change a room from taupe to an olive green. Like, that would never cross my goddamn mind. And I am so embarrassed. It doesn't. Like, because it's so important to other people, and everyone else seems more invested in my house than I am, and I'm starting to feel really insecure about it. So I, like, I don't really want to talk about it because I just don't. I. My dad's like, so you're gonna have to furnish this big house. Gonna have to furnish it. And I go, dad, I'm not talking about it. He's like, why don't you even talk about. I'm like, because I don't. I don't care. Like, I don't know what furniture to put in. I'm burdened by if I get used or if I get new stuff. And if I get new stuff, then I have to, like, take it with me the rest of my life. And then I have to take good care of it. And I don't know. I don't know what kind to get. And then you have to make it match different things because there's color matching now that I'm aware of and has to match my undertone. I just don't. I just can't. I can't be bothered with it. I am so. I'm like, I just wrote Chris say. I'm like, I don't think I meant to own a house. Like, I can't handle this because I don't like the conversations around it. And I'm.
Brian
Well, what if you didn't have any conversations around it. And it was just like Chris's purview to take care of the house because.
Nikki Glaser
Then there would be pictures of like hunting dogs, old paintings from his family, which I do want in our house.
Brian
But like, he has a different apartment for five years.
Nikki Glaser
He has a different aesthetic than me. And I, I do like his aesthetic. He can. I like it mixed. But like, there are some, like, it's.
Matt and Joel
Though.
Nikki Glaser
It's the classic thing of like, I get mad after the fact when I've not put in any. Any. I've. I've let someone just do the work. And then I go, I hate this. And they go, well, we asked you if you wanted to contribute and it's just me doing more of that, so I know that I will have to contribute to. And he said he's going to make it very easy for me that everything will happen on the weekends. I won't have to deal with, like, I don't want to have to deal with plumbers, I don't want to deal with electricians. And like, I, I will forget to offer them water. I will feel so rude in retrospect. I. Yeah, I just. It's. It's a lot of work.
Brian
That's a lot of work. But in the end, you know, it's. You're. You have control over the situation, which is nice. Like, there's. At no point is a landlord going to tell you I've got to come into your apartment at 5am on this Saturday to fix.
Nikki Glaser
No one's ever done that to me. No one's ever done that to me in this apartment. It's never happened to me in the history of my life at apartments where a landlord has come in and like, made my life hell. It's like, it's. I like renting and I know. I don't know what's wrong with me. I just wish I was a different girl sometimes than. I cared about cabinets and like. And our kitchen is so big. Yeah, it's. It's so offensive. I should run. Like, I should truly, like, give the space to like a company to come in and make food for homeless people or something. Like, I feel like it is a literally waste.
Brian
Are either of you guys into cooking? I know you don't really cook, right?
Nikki Glaser
Chris could be, but, like, I just don't. He's like, I'll cook for us. I'll use that kitchen. I'm like, but then you're going to be cooking all day and then you won't want to hang out, then we can't watch TV as easily because the kitchen doesn't have, like, a tv. I like when the kitchen and the TV room are, like, combined.
Brian
Sure. You got a little. Yeah, you got a counter and you can see through. It's an open floor.
Nikki Glaser
Yes. So he. If he was cooking while I'm watching tv, then that makes like. Then we can, like, talk and, like. But we'll figure it out. It's gonna be great. I am underslept and overly critical right now. Like, nothing seems good right now because sleep is so important.
Brian
It's the number one thing.
Nikki Glaser
Yeah. My body was aching so bad yesterday. I was losing everything. I would put the things in the weirdest places. I forgot my. I for. I would. For. It was. I was weight. Literally wasted yesterday. It was like someone was walking around wasted all day long because I was so tired.
Brian
People say that love is the number one thing and they make the heart. And that's not true. It's sleep. Sleep is the number one thing we should be doing. Literally.
Nikki Glaser
Yeah.
Brian
We should be doing that. You can't love if you're tired.
Sean
No, you can't. I mean, like, when you're tired, it is just. You're the worst person. The worst version of yourself across hungry and tired.
Brian
Stupid.
Nikki Glaser
Two things. Yeah. And stupid. And I'm. I was so dumb. But people are. But people love not to sleep, though. I feel like most people in my life don't sleep. Like everyone. I think I get more sleep than almost everyone I know.
Brian
Well, you need to just get the amount of sleep that you are used to getting and then you'll be functioning the way you are.
Nikki Glaser
Yeah.
Brian
To Jesse Eisenberg, real quick, because I just want to shout out, so Jesse Eisenberg, do you know where he lives?
Nikki Glaser
He lives in. He used to live in Bloomington, right?
Brian
Yeah. He doesn't anymore. Well, he. He moved to Bloomington, Indiana, because his wife's from there. And he lived there during COVID And then during A Real Pain, he's repping an Indiana University hat almost the entire movie. It's like the most. It's the most. Whatever. What's it called? It's the most representation. Representation. Yeah, I use like, ever gotten. Except for the one of the movie.
Nikki Glaser
Yeah, I was gonna say that was about high school. What about the bicycle. Bicycle movie.
Brian
Breaking Away. Yeah. Maybe Breaking Away since Breaking Away.
Sean
And listen, all the Jared Fogle articles mention Bloomington.
Nikki Glaser
That's true. That's where he got his start.
Brian
I'm sure a biopic is coming. He wasn't wearing An I hat.
Sean
Jesse Eisenberg's from East Brunswick, New Jersey, which is like 20 minutes away from me. His sister's Pepsi Eisenberg from the Pepsi commercials. Do you remember? You remember the little girl? The Pepsi girl with the curly hair?
Nikki Glaser
The girl with the curly hair?
Sean
Yeah. That's Jesse Eisenberg's little sister.
Nikki Glaser
Oh, my God. Simply little adorable curly haired girl with Jesse Eisenberg eyes.
Sean
Jesse Eisenberg is her, I think cousin is Jamie forever and no one knows Pepsi.
Nikki Glaser
Eisenberg is so funny. Wow, that's a really good little trivia. I had no idea. I'm guessing she still doesn't act.
Sean
She doesn't.
Nikki Glaser
Because why would we not know who she is?
Sean
She's just proud of her big brother.
Nikki Glaser
That is so cute. Okay, that's really good to know. Do we have to go?
Brian
Jamie Eisenberg, who is a CBS sports fantasy analyst for football.
Nikki Glaser
No way. Really?
Brian
Yeah.
Nikki Glaser
Oh, my God. Yeah.
Brian
It just keeps going. The Eisenberg family runs deep.
Nikki Glaser
Okay, well, let's go to break and unpack. More of this when we get back. Just kidding.

Hey. So we quickly want to touch on something serious. We talked about it when it came out, but wow. That commercial with Tom Brady and Snoop Dogg for stand up to all hate has really stuck with me. Those two just like having it out with each other and telling each other why they hate each other and all the reasons. You're just like, wow, this is what most hate is based off of fear, insecurity and jealousy. It's really just gotta stop. Too many people from too many different groups are facing too much hate in our country and especially online. So join me in standing up to all hate. If you see it, speak up. Call it out. Use one of the most powerful tools there is in this fight, your voice. You can learn more by following ot'supwithhate or show your support by posting the blue square emoji and using the hashtag standuptoallhate.

Hi, it's Jenny Garth. We all know the importance of taking care of our physical and mental health, but what about our sexual health? I've been there, feeling totally stuck when it comes to my libido. That's why I started taking Addi. And let me tell you, I have seen firsthand what a difference it can make in how how you feel. Addi is the only FDA approved pill clinically proven to help certain premenopausal women have more interest in sex, have more satisfying sex, and lower the stress from low libido. Addi has helped hundreds of thousands of women get their drive back, including me. Talk to your doctor or visit a d d y.com to learn more about Addi, the little pink pill. Individual results may vary.
Matt and Joel
Addi or flibanserin is for premenopausal women with Acquired Generalized Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder HSDD who have not had problems with low sexual desire in the past who have had low sexual desire. No matter the type of sexual activity, the situation, or the sexual partner, this low sexual desire is troubling to them and is not due to a medical or mental health problem, problems in the relationship, or medicine or other drug use. ADDI is not for use in children, men, or to enhance sexual performance. Your risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting is increased if you drink one to two standard alcoholic drinks close in time to your ADI dose. Wait at least two hours after drinking before taking ADDI at bedtime. Increases if you take certain prescriptions, OTC or herbal medications or have liver problems and can happen when you take ADDI without alcohol or other medicines. Do not take if you're allergic to any of addi's ingredients. Allergic reaction may include hives, itching or trouble breathing. Sometimes serious sleepiness can occur. Common side effects include dizziness, nausea, tiredness, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, and dry mouth. See full PI and medication guide including boxed warning@addie.com PI addy.

Nikki Glaser
About your high school? Oh yeah. I was inducted into the. Yeah. The Kirkwood High School hall of Fame on Saturday, I think. Yeah, Saturday my parents went and they accepted my award on behalf of moi and because I was in Vancouver with Sean and we were landing in Vancouver and there was a coyote on the Runway, by the way. That really happened. We were about to touch down. I was sitting next to Sean. Truly, truly from feet from touching down.
Sean
Like we were this close to the ground. And then we just went back up.
Nikki Glaser
And we went back up. And like that makes me nervous. Not because we went back up. Like it makes me nervous because a plane going back up means things aren't they? That's not the plan. And so whenever you have a plane doing something that's not the plan, you just hope everyone's communicating in the right way that there's not going to be any, like, collisions. You know, like if your plane goes by plan, like our plane landed on time. Like, I'm not worried about a collision. Like things are on time, but when things are just starting to. That's when I was like, oh no. Like now we were talking happens. We were talking about like how after the D.C. crash, a new fear has been unlocked in. In flying a plane. When you're on a plane, like, I don't care at all about crashes anymore of, like, a malfunction and then, like, the plane just going. I am literally only scared of collisions now. That's all there is. Didn't even know I was supposed to be scared of that. That's. And I'm not even. I'm always scared on the Runway now. Like, the Runway isn't safe even when you're on the tarmac. Like, on the ground. Not safe. Like. Like, it's just. And then. But that. Us picking back up. And then they told us five minutes later there was a coyote on the Runway. And I go, a coyote? And it was. He said coyote. Like he was an old ranch hand. Yeah.
Sean
Like you said true grit.
Nikki Glaser
Sean was like. Like, John Wayne is our. But fight wasn't.
Brian
Who you want to be your pilot, Coyote. I want all my pilots to say, kyo. If my pilot says coyote, I'm like, you don't know how to fly this thing.
Nikki Glaser
Yeah, that is a pilot way to talk. But Sean. Sean made the hilarious observation that they were doing the trolley experiment, like, on our plane. Like, you know what the trolley thing is? Like, if you pull the lever, you kill three people instead of four or whatever. And so it doesn't count that you, like. He did that with, like, either you kill a coyote or a plane of people. And he, like, chose to sacrifice a blade of people for a coyote, even though I would argue that if we hit the coyote, that would be bad for us. Yeah, but he was an animal lover. Yeah. And I don't stand by that. You know, there is a. There is a bar and the. I would sacrifice coyote for a plate.
Sean
Of people, but it's not a dog. It's not a cat. It's not, like, a baby squirrel.
Nikki Glaser
I think it's a combo of a dog and a cat and a baby squirrel. They're crazy. I felt bad for that coyote. Like, that instantly was my thought of, like, this poor thing that's just like, looking around at this barren tarmac trying to find any food. Probably just gonna get shot eventually. Me. So sad. But yeah. So anyway, we were in Vancouver when I got inducted into the thing. And so my parents, like, did they prepare a speech for. For it? Were they, like, really? They read my statement. Oh, I see. Yeah. And. And I think that was. That that's the way they wanted it because I had forgotten to thank. I made a video, too, and I forgot to thank someone really important in the video. And so I was like. I was gonna have to, like, make a new video and have it cut into the video. And be like, I forgot this one guy. And so my parents were able to read great that part. But it was. Yeah, it was, like, sweet. And they were really proud. And they said that everyone else, like, a bunch of people were being inducted. And they said everyone's speech is, like, referenced, you know, Oh, I thought I was special until I realized Nikki Glazer's on this one, so I'm nothing. But then I did get a lot. Like, they said there was a lot of mentions of me being. Being dirty and how, like, oh, if you can, you know, don't watch her act if you're around grandma. Like, there's a lot of that going on. Grandma loves her. Am I. Or like, don't get the kid. Get the kids out of the room or whatever. And like, how ironic it is that this is like a high school is gonna have a plaque of, like, this disgusting comedian who's going to hell. I don't think they, like, especially said that, but then my parents said that two people in their speeches said. And how it was like, kind of like, really not the tone of it. And I'm like, yet I'm the one that gets told that I'm. I'm constantly inappropriate, even though I think is a fine thing to. In the speech, no matter where you are.
Brian
But how many people got inducted into this class?
Nikki Glaser
I think it was probably like 10 or so.
Brian
So like, every year, 10 people get inducted or.
Nikki Glaser
Yeah, something like that. Maybe seven or eight. Yeah, yeah. I forget exactly. Oh, I was supposed to give a shout out to someone who listens to the podcast, Rory. And then who's the other one? Robin listens to the podcast. She's a local in St. Louis. I think she was inducted in. Maybe she was someone that was in. I don't know what. What it was. I'm so sorry, Robin. My parents just said that they met you, that you're a huge fan, and then your son Rory was like, she listens all the time. And then my parents were like, we're gonna tell Nikki. Rory said hi, and he thought that was cool. And I was like, okay, I'll give Rory a shout out. So shout out, Rory, what up, skibidy? Toilet, no cap. Yeah, I heard you have Riz. Whatever. You know, you get it. Go get a beastable and fucking celebrate that. Someone said your name on a podcast? Hell yeah, dude. So now did they have your picture up, like, in the hallway of this high school? Is there, like a special area for this? There's a special area that has my name, but I Believe the picture is not put up. I think it was like, on a poster that they had, like, you know, lining the halls, but there were so many teachers at it. And I. And I, during my speech, I just listed every teacher that I liked at all that was nice to me and like, like, was like a joy to be around because I was just like, on the off chance that they hear this. That would be cool. And one of the teachers that I included, who was a physics teacher, that really made me understand physics. And I don't think I would have any grasp of it. And I have some grasp. Like, I literally don't even know. Like, I remember taking the subject and being intimidated by it. And Mr. Barton, like, really made it accessible.
Brian
He made before.
Nikki Glaser
He was awesome. And I. So I put him in the speech thinking he is long gone. Like, he was a young guy at the time. I'm like, he. He changed school districts. He's probably got out of the business. They wrote me and were like, Mr. Barton's still there. And we're so excited to like, show him this video. And that, to me was so cool because, like, he's not going to remember me as a student, but hopefully that will validate, give him some kind of validation for the, like. I think it's just important that no matter what subject you teach, whether or not your students are interested or even good at the subject, you can have the most profound effect on a student. Because all my favorite teachers were not my favorite subject. They were actually subjects I was quite bad at. And they still made an impact on me about who the person I wanted to be and all and all that stuff. So that was really fun to give those shout outs and then to find out they were still around to hear it. And then, you know, my teacher, my favorite teacher of all time, Madame Kalfis, she wrote me and said I was at the ceremony and thank you so much for saying those nice things about me. And she said that sadly we lost Mr. Platt so young. And I'm like, no. I found out Mr. Platt died. That was kind of sad. But apparently, apparently, yeah, it was like a really great ceremony. My parents were so cute and proud to be there. I love them so much. It was so nice that they were like, it's just nice that they're so psyched to, like, celebrate all these things. And they write, you know, I was on Kelly and Reg or Kelly and Regis, Kelly and Mark yesterday, and they just wrote me the nicest text about, you're so good on these shows. Oh, my God, you Know, like, they're just so celebratory. And Noah, you wrote me the nicest thing about that too. Like, it that, you know, when I do a Kelly and Mark, like, not a lot of people see it. I don't get a lot of feedback from fans because it's like a different, you know, it's a different demo. You are so good on daytime TV. Yes. So nice. So nice.
Sean
I watched it on YouTube yesterday and you were really great. And I was shocked that it was just. They did it at the place. The Oscars.
Brian
Yeah.
Nikki Glaser
That was crazy, wasn't it?
Sean
It's.
Nikki Glaser
When was this final thought? This was literally Kelly and Mark tapes. They take over the. The stage at midnight and they bring in all their people and they redo the stage to bring in Kelly and Mark. And they've done it for like three years in a row right after the Oscars. And so it was very confusing of what I was to wear because you. You dress a certain way for daytime TV when it's in a studio, but not when it's in like the Oscars. Dolby Theater stage.
Brian
Right.
Nikki Glaser
And so it was crazy to walk out and see a whole room of fans at literally 6 in the morning. I got there at 4, had to wake up at 3. Who was in the audience? Fans of Kelly and Mark. And I go, this is a paid audience, right? Like, you can't. I don't. I know, I understand. The show has fans, but not six in the morning on a Monday in LA for a huge theater to fill up. They filled it up.
Sean
Well, you're probably so excited because if you get there early enough, you could kind of be sitting in the same seat that like, Timothy Chalamet was sitting in, like eight hours before.
Nikki Glaser
Oh, my God. That's such a good point. That would have been so good to point out. I wish I would have thought of that. That's so funny to be like. Do you know that Timothy Shalom was sitting right where you were? Kendall was right. Or Kylie was right there for some of it. I think she got up during when. When his ex girlfriend came out to get.
Sean
It was just so crazy to watch because, like, I. I saw you do Kelly and Mark in New York and it's like, you know, a TV studio. So it's tight and small and this is a cavern. Like, it is like, huge.
Nikki Glaser
I didn't know where to play, so. Because I was like on a stage where like, like it's kind of similar to the performances I'm doing now in these big theaters. So I Like, kept. Like, I was talking to Kelly and Mark, but then I would like do it to the audience. So I was like, I don't. Am I supposed to do the camera, the audience? Like, I didn't. I. I. It probably looks. I don't want to watch it because it probably looks insane because I didn't know where to talk. And it was perfect.
Sean
You were supposed to play to the audience.
Nikki Glaser
I went big to the audience. But sometimes when you do tv, you're not supposed to play the audience. Like, it's like a waste too, because they're just there, there for sound of laughed and laughter. And if you want to look good on tv, you're supposed to not do it. And so sometimes I have to like, ignore the audience, even though I always want to play to them. But as a stand up, you always want to play to an audience. So it's kind of confusing. But yeah. So I didn't sleep. I went right from, yeah, the Oscars parties which were seeing Chapel, Ronan, Elton John was incredible. So glad I went to that. Even though it was like a different group of people. Like, you go to that. And it was like I went from like the most exclusive, cool party with the most famous people in the world to like a different. Like, I thought it was also going to be that exclusive. But it, it was a different crowd. That was the party that I should have been at, to be honest with you. Like, it was more my speed of people. A lot of people that, like, I gotta say, like, can everyone just like, if you see I'm not even that famous, but people when they. I was pretty famous for this party. Let me just say, like, I was, you know, I was probably one of the more famous people at this party. And that is not bragging. I'm not thinking I'm cool, but I could just tell when I walked in, people were like, whoa. You know, like, you just get that sense. And like, I am just trying to get. Everyone's trying to get close to stage to get to just be close to the stage. But, like, they're not even like singing along. And if you know Chapel Roan at all, like, she doesn't want you just like standing there. If you're not going to do the hot to go dance, get hot to go, go to go home. Hot to go home is what I should have said.
Brian
Pokemon go to the polls.
Nikki Glaser
Oh, my gosh. So I was just like trying to get close and like a second people would see me next to them. Not it wasn't everyone, but they, I guess they were a little drunk too. They would, like, be aware of me and keep looking at, like, looking behind to look to watch me enjoying it. And then I feel like me having a really good time and singing along. It becomes like I'm being watched. So then I feel like I'm performing, but I'm also like, wait, no, I'm just having a good time. But am. Do people think that I'm performing? Like, I don't want anyone to think that I was, like, singing along and dancing because I think I'm cool or something. So I just.
Matt and Joel
And.
Nikki Glaser
And these people are not cool about it at all. I know what it's like to be like to see someone that you might be like, oh, my God, this person's right next to me. Be cool. Sneak a picture all you want, but dim your screen first. Don't, like, keep turning back to see if they're having a good time and looking. I was so uncomfortable by this one man who would not stop looking at me. And every second was just like, did she laugh at that? Is she laughing at that? Is she looking at that? It was so weird. I just. It gave me a sense of, like, what actually famous people deal with. And it is. People are just. Just be a little bit more discreet. I just don't understand people just gawking. This is the same thing that happened when I was first around someone famous, Amy Schumer, when she blew up that summer. We are checking into a hotel, and the girl next to us was whispering to her boyfriend, that's Amy Schumer. Amy Schumer's right next to us. But really loud whispers, and I go, she can hear you. I, like, was so annoyed by it. Go, do you think she can't hear you? I go, we're not in a zoo. There's. I go, she's not on tv. She literally can hear you. And she was like, nick, Jesus. And I was like, I'm just. Because I was witnessing it so much that weekend that I was like, what is wrong with people? Because I am those people. I get excited by celebrities. But just. You can. You can text your friend next to you. You can write. Get the app that is called Big. And you could write text on that and then show it to them and go, amy Schumer's next to us. Dim your screen. When you take a picture, turn off your flash. Like, there are ways to capture and exploit celebrities just as much as I would want to that aren't obvious. God, wake up. People just like, no. Like, have you ever looked in A mirror. You exist. You're a person that people. Other people can see. It's just so. It's. It was confounding to me, and it made me uncomfortable, and I wanted to get the. Out of there.
Brian
Wait, I don't get. Are we supposed to look in mirrors or not?
Nikki Glaser
Yeah, no, I was just doing a callback, but it was. It was rough.
Sean
No, I will say, as somebody, I've only really ever done this once where, like, it blew my mind that a celebrity. Like, I was at, like, a dive bar in LA and Kirsten Dunst was there.
Nikki Glaser
Yeah.
Sean
And I literally couldn't stop talking about it. It, like, broke my brain where I couldn't.
Nikki Glaser
I know you, though, Sean. You weren't saying it within earshot of her at its audible turn.
Sean
I was whispering.
Brian
Whispering right into her ear.
Sean
Every time I was trying to be funny, I was being really loud. So, like, Kirsten does be like, who is this magic?
Nikki Glaser
We would all do that. I want to be very clear. I love when people ask for photos. I love when people point at me and are, like, whispering to their friends like that. That really doesn't bother me. It's like, when you are close to me and you're not even talking to me, you're acting like I'm an object. So if you were to talk to me and go, I love you. It's so good to meet you. Like, that's fine. But, like, acting like that, celebrities are. And this is obviously, like, who cares? Celebrities. Oh, it's. Life is so hard. Like, even I'm reading all these articles about, like, Demi Moore deserved that and poor. To me, I'm just like, she's fine, you guys. She's gonna be okay. I know. It does suck. And it would have been very cool to see an older woman who was in this movie about being an aging woman in Hollywood and how it sucks. And, like, she kind of. No. Mikey Madison, who I think absolutely deserved it as well. Like, it kind of is ironic that she did a movie about being replaced by a younger version of herself. And Mikey Madison, it is arguably kind of a. You know, she's like the next big ingenue. And she's always. And Demi Moore has always been called a popcorn actress, which I didn't hear about until Demi Moore told us all that she was called that. Like, what does that mean?
Sean
I think it just means that your movies make money and that. Like, but you're not, like, serious. Yeah, it's so much better.
Brian
I thought it was, like, they get paid in popcorn.
Sean
Oh, no, that's. That's Lord Michael.
Brian
Am I thinking of elephants?
Nikki Glaser
That's me on my rider. Yeah.
Brian
Can I just say quickly, for Anora, shout out to my friend Sebastian Connelly, who was in Anora and now he.
Matt and Joel
What?
Brian
He was the. The tow truck. Truck driver.
Nikki Glaser
Cool.
Brian
He was the tow truck driver in Anora towards the end of the movie. And so now he's in a movie that won best picture, an Oscar for Best God.
Nikki Glaser
Wow, that's so cool, Mikey, by the way, I really like her vibe. She just seems like a really nice person, and I am able to clock this. I think I'm better than most people at seeing which celebrities are real good people and which aren't. And I heard a story this weekend about one that is not a good person, and I was really bummed out about. I can't remember who it was. I don't even think I'd tell you if I could remember, but I was like, man, I actually thought that person was cool. And they're not. But Mikey Madison just seems like a. Just a. She really loves acting. She's a great. She's gracious, she's grateful, she's humble. I just. I like her vibe. Her speech wasn't like Adrian Brody, nine minutes long, self indulgent. Throwing his gum at his wife who used to be married to Harvey Weinstein. Like, hasn't she been through enough? Like. Like, I just. I, you know, shout out to Adrian Brody because he laughed at my joke at the Golden Globes and I loved it. And he was. Had a good sense of humor about himself, but that speech was too long.
Sean
Self indulgent. Someone pointed out on Twitter that Adrian Brody's like the Eli Manning where he's won two big. He's won two big games, and then everything else is just interceptions. And it really is the truth. But Adrian Brody, great actor. Listen to when they start playing you off. Like they're doing that not just. Just to hurt.
Nikki Glaser
Your guys's text cracked me upwards on. I was one of you who was like, wow, I didn't even know you could do that. But, like, why did we think we couldn't, you know, Like. Like, why did we all. We all thought he was gonna get shot or something if he didn't get off stage. But he. You can just tell the orchestra stop and they'll all quiet down. Like, that was literally insane. And then him throwing the gum at his wife, like, everyone was disgusted, but that. I really wasn't actually disgusted by it. Like, I thought it was kind of cute. Like, they. They don't care about germs. And she's like, yeah, like. And it' Oscar winner throwing his gum. It kind of, like, brings it back down to earth. But I do have to say, like, when actors. Certain actors. There were a couple that won awards that night. I thought Mikey Madison was just herself. She was just a normal person, like, grateful to win in shock and all those things. Some of them. The other ones, I'm like, is this a monologue? Is this an audition for the next thing you're doing? Like, I don't trust Adrien Brody being emotional because he's an actor. Like, it just seems like acting to me. And maybe that's just because I don't. I'm not aware of his acting style, and maybe it's not at all like it. And maybe he's allowed to get really profound and emotional during that. And of course you would. But there were some people. There was one other speech that I was just like, come on. This is like, I'm watching an audition.
Sean
I just.
Nikki Glaser
It seems scripted, and it seems way too emotional, and let's all just. Just be more real. But I don't think they can. Yeah, I don't think they can be real, because if they're real, they have no control, and they need a script. In order to be good, in order.
Brian
To be a really excellent actor, you kind of have to have no identity. I think that's my theory.
Nikki Glaser
And you have to just be like, oh, yeah. So, like, when you are allowed to speak, you have to have some kind of plan to play a character of something.
Brian
Yeah, exactly. There's some actor who talked about that, that, like, a good actor who said, like, I. I'm retiring from acting. Or maybe it was Daniel Day Lewis who said, I need to figure out. Maybe it wasn't. I want to put this what I am. Yeah. Like, I have been a different person for my entire life. And it takes from you, you every time. Because that person, like, Maybe even Leonardo DiCaprio said this after the Revenant. It's like every time you play that actor, that character, the character doesn't leave you. It takes a part of you and then gets absorbed into your being. And the more you do that, the less. The less and less your core being becomes, and the more you become these other people. And so at a certain point, you have to be like, wait a second. Who am I? Even if you're good, I don't want.
Nikki Glaser
To sleep inside of a bear carcass anymore.
Sean
Do you think Tim Allen felt that way? After doing the Santa Claus, I think so.
Nikki Glaser
Okay, we'll talk more about Oscars. I want to talk about how well Conan did and stuff like that tomorrow on the show. We didn't cover it all, but we covered a lot. Thank you guys for being here.

The Nikki Glaser Podcast: Episode #515 Summary
Title: Nikki's Unforgettable Weekend; The Oscars, High School Hall of Fame & Zero Sleep!
Release Date: March 6, 2025
Host/Author: Big Money Players Network and iHeartPodcasts
Introduction
In episode #515 of The Nikki Glaser Podcast, comedian and renowned roaster Nikki Glaser shares an exhilarating account of her whirlwind weekend. From attending the Oscars and mingling with celebrities to being honored in her high school's Hall of Fame, Nikki navigates a series of memorable events—all while battling near-zero sleep. Joined by her core team, including Matt, Joel, Sean, Brian, and Noah, the episode delves into the highs and lows of such a packed schedule.
Oscars Weekend: Glitz, Glamour, and Unexpected Encounters
Nikki recounts her experience attending the Vanity Fair watch party for the Oscars, where she rubbed shoulders with prominent figures like Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, and even Mick Jagger.
“I was at a table with Seth Rogen and his wife and then Olivia Wilde, whom I’d never met before. She was so amazingly pretty and so chill—just someone I’ve admired from afar.” ([02:48])
A surprising highlight was meeting Kevin Bacon and his wife, Kyra Sedgwick, who praised Nikki’s performance and expressed interest in attending her New York show.
“They were telling us about how they met and have been together for like 40 years. It was so cool and down-to-earth.” ([31:16])
Another unforgettable moment involved Adam Sandler making an impromptu appearance. Nikki and her team were caught off guard when Sandler approached them mid-event, leading to a mix of astonishment and excitement.
“When Adam Sandler grabbed me, Chris and I were just frozen, like characters from an Edward Munch painting.” ([42:16])
High School Hall of Fame Induction: A Humbling Honor
Simultaneously navigating her Oscars engagements, Nikki was inducted into the Kirkwood High School Hall of Fame. Her parents represented her at the ceremony, delivering heartfelt speeches that highlighted Nikki’s comedic prowess and impact.
“My parents accepted my award on behalf of moi, and hearing teachers speak about how I was 'constantly inappropriate' but adored by Grandma made it all the more ironic.” ([56:36])
Nikki expressed deep gratitude towards her high school teachers, particularly Mr. Barton, whose physics classes left a lasting impression despite her initial struggles with the subject.
“Mr. Barton really made physics accessible for me, something I was intimidated by. It’s amazing how teachers can profoundly affect their students, even in subjects they’re not passionate about.” ([63:52])
Zero Sleep: The Toll of a Packed Schedule
The frenetic pace of the weekend left Nikki grappling with severe sleep deprivation. From multiple flights and late-night parties to back-to-back commitments, sleep became a scarce commodity.
“I didn’t sleep for 20 to 27 hours between landing in L.A. on Sunday and getting up at 3 AM for Kelly and Mark. My body was aching, and I was losing it.” ([06:23])
Despite the exhaustion, Nikki found solace in traveling alone, enjoying the autonomy and the minimal social interactions that allowed her to catch brief moments of rest.
