Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Nicky Gleiser podcastnik Gleaser, here's Nikky.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Hello, it's me. It's Nicky Glaizer. Welcome to the Welcome
to the podcast. I just said Billy as a sex
slave for the second part of the song because it's
an old joke with all my girlfriends that who's my
Billy is Sarah Lena's dog. And one time it was
just wearing a leather collar, and all the girls were
doing the podcast together and we were starting the podcast

(00:35):
and we were kind of just singing it like as
Noah was setting up. Ever, all the girls were kind
of just like singing the theme song over and over,
and then at one point Taylor McGraw saw Billy with
like she was just like, you know, like you know,
scratching Billy's head and saw the leather collar and said,
Billy is a sex slave.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Collar.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
And then it stuck.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
And so whenever we're on the girl's chat and Sarah
Lena's talking about Billy, she's like, so sex slave is
just throwing she just calls her sex slave now name no,
like there's no humor behind like one would get about
you guys.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, but she's just like, I'm so sad scared. Sex
slave is gonna die? Like we just call it sex slave.
Now she's a senior dog is he? Is he old? Yeah?
She Billy like Billy Holliday, you would Billy's a boy's
name generally, Yeah, Billy, Iirish Billy. Yeah. I always remember
the Clueless joke that I never understood until later, where

(01:38):
share you know, the girl and Clueless gets picked up by,
you know, the gay guy that she has a crush on,
but she doesn't know he's gay, but everyone else does.
And in the nineties when I saw that, I did
not know he was gay either. But she has this
crush on this guy who's clearly gay, and he picks
her up and he's playing and she goes, who is it?
And he's playing Billy Holliday. She's like, who is this?
And he goes Billy Holliday and she goes, oh, I

(01:59):
love him. And then I didn't even understand that joke
until later. She also said she's giving a speech in
her class and she was like, I believe we should
let the Hadians come here instead of Haitians. And apparently
I watched like a behind the Music about it that
movie and she she did not they didn't plan for

(02:22):
her to say haydians, but the actress at least Silver
Show didn't know how to pronounce it, and they were like,
that's perfect, keep it in. No one tell her. So
I always remember those two things anyway. Yeah, so Billy
is a sex slave. My mom is here everyone, she's
in studio. Julie Glazer, welcome to the show. Thank you, Nick.
Brian Frangie is here in Los Angeles via satellite. What's up, Brian?

(02:45):
Brian just got off the phoney had a very important call,
and we all kind of like listen to his sart
of it and then all and then he said, oh,
that was great news, and I go, what happened?

Speaker 3 (02:54):
Wait?

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Save it for the podcast. So what was that call about?
I think it's about your car, okay, but also I
heard a woman's voice on the line, and usually women
aren't telling you about your car. That's to women.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
To women. We don't want to throw shad to women.
They could be mechanics.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
I want to throw shade at them because SPF protection
is important too for anti aging, So so much shade
on all women because youth is key. Okay, what what happened?

Speaker 4 (03:22):
Well?

Speaker 5 (03:23):
I had a malfunction in my car, uh air bag,
which is like a safety issue, and I haven't able
to get to fix get it fixed.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
You look like you had hit by an air bag today.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Yeah, you do anything, please, I just want to draw
people to the YouTube channel.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
This is how we get people to look at the
YouTube channel. What does Brian's hair look like today?

Speaker 1 (03:47):
Hair?

Speaker 2 (03:48):
We'll do something with You've great, ky, I.

Speaker 5 (03:51):
Gotta get an I don't come, I do wake up,
and I just I don't.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
I don't either, But okay, so anyway, it really I
don't know what I would be able to do with it.
It's well, you just like run it, come through it,
and you kind of like make it just looks a
little like you sleipt on it. I think he should
gell it back.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
No, I'm not. I just I'm not gonna slick it back.
I'll never slick I'm not a tower. Subaru is my
car company, and I'm usually a big fan of Subaru.
And this air bag broke and I'm driving my future
wife to Colorado for our wedding next month, and the

(04:28):
air bag needs to work. She's gonna be sitting in
the passenger seat and the air bag. If you know
this is like, this could be a disaster.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
So I brought so did you know it doesn't work
because it gave a little light or something when someone's
sitting in the passenger seat. It says a passenger air
bag off and then the air bag warning lights on.
So it's like my air bag will work, but hers won't. Yeah,
you can just quickly bring her to your side if
you see a crash.

Speaker 5 (04:53):
If I if I see a crash, I pull her over. Yeah.
And so I brought it to the super rue dealership.
And everybody knows that dealerships are not very helpful and
they're super expensive and they make you wait a long
time and overall shitty experience. This one in particular is
complaining of staff shortages and all this stuff. And they

(05:13):
told me, they told me that there was no problem
that they couldn't find a problem with the car. They
can't run a diagnosed.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
They told me all thish, get in the passenger seat
and start the car and you'll hear the alert.

Speaker 5 (05:25):
They refused. They said, we're not sitting in your passenger seat.
And I was like, that's the only way to get
the alert. They refused, Okay, and so then what I
took it to an independent mechanic, an incredible mechanic, complete
automotive systems in Palms if you ever are living in
that area. And they sat in the passenger seat with me.

(05:46):
They talked me through it, They got the diagnostic and
they and they found out that's a romantic I mean,
I feel like I feel like I have like a
little romantic relationship with this guy. He's such a good mechanic.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
You know, when you find someone who finally fixes your problem,
you honestly feel romantic feelings for them.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
Yes, And I think it's with mechanics. It's the same
thing with like a barber or a stylist. It's like,
once you find one, you're committed.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
Never let him, yeah, because it's so hard to do
it and you yeah, and they could be sleazy, like
they everything about the industry could be. They don't have
to be good, and so it's so nice when you
find one. I'm happy that you found a guy that
life relationship with. Yes, aren't you worried about him being
in that passenger seat?

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Now?

Speaker 5 (06:35):
Well, we agreed that he's allowed to see other cars,
so it's just you guys.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
That's good.

Speaker 5 (06:42):
So anyway, just called me up because I called up
Subaru and they have an advocacy line where they have
like some person who like fights for you on your behalf,
and I've been I didn't have anything.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Again, Subaru like they'll Subaru hires people that will fight
for you for your Yeah, the goal.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
Is to like make you Satis so you continue to
buy suber Rus throughout your life. So they're like your advocate.
And I had no faith in this advocate, not in
this particular advocate, but I had no faith in a
car company advocating forming in any capacity. And I just
figured I'd go pay full price for this part, which
wound up being twenty six hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Jesus.

Speaker 5 (07:20):
They have to replace the entire seat because it's the
censor in the seat, and I thought that was an
outrageous fee to pay, especially.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
This is like a good price for a seat. But
I think it's more it's a safety issue. So much money.

Speaker 5 (07:33):
It's the air bag. It should be free no matter what.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Absolutely how old is the car. Yeah, that's a good point.

Speaker 5 (07:39):
It's a twenty fifteen. Yeah, the warranty expired nine months ago.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Oh convenient. Yeah, but I think he got Yeah, you
did get Ye advocate called. That was who we heard.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
So I missed the call from the advocate two times already,
so that's why I answered it. And she told me
that I don't have to go to the dealer. I
can go to my new my new mechanic guy and
shall reimburse me for up to one thousand dollars, which
I did not expect any of that. Wow, well one
thousand dollars that is amazing news. I expected just to

(08:15):
pay out of pocket for the entire thing. So thank you,
Subaru Advocacy Group. I now like Subaru again. I love
Subaru before.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Okay, well every time I get into a Subaru I
do like it.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
I love Subaru's they ever since Dave Matthews gave away
one in nineteen ninety nine online, and I bet here
standing next to one. I love suber Us and they
just seem to be helping the environment, even though there's
no basis to that whatsoever. They just seem to be
on the right side of things. The first kind of their.

Speaker 5 (08:46):
They were one of the first car companies to advertise
to the LGBT community, and their advertisements they'd have the.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Same That's why it's kind of associated with lesbians getting
super rus, Yes, because that's another thing I know about them.
I want a date with a guy who drove a
Super U and I thought it was he had kind
of the demeanor of one. There was a little bit
too much feminine energy radiating from him, which I did
not hate, but it was a thing that I noticed

(09:14):
that I picked up on. He was very nice and
like there was just you know, there's more. There was
more feminine energy than masculine for me. But that's no judgment.
He was just I kind of I was like, oh,
this is something different. But he did drive a super
but I liked that Subero. I got in that and
I was like, this is thinking about but no, I
was like, this guy has good taste. It was a

(09:36):
nice car, and it was like a risk to take
to get a Super.

Speaker 5 (09:39):
Is there a car that if a guy drove up
in it you would be like, this is over?

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Tesla's for me now are kind of keh. I don't
hate them, but it kind of tells me if you
bought one, it just tells me they were about in
status and you kind of think it just reminds me
of Elon Musk too much, And do you know that
he named each of the models of the cars so
that it would eventually spell sexy, like the Model S,

(10:06):
the Model three, the Model X, the Model Y. And
that he also priced one of the first Teslas at
sixty nine four and twenty dollars because he So. I
just did this thing for the La Times where they
asked me all about Elon Musk's jokes quote unquote to
see if he was funny or not. So I guess
they're asking a bunch of comedians, like what do you
think of this joke? And none of them are jokes.

(10:27):
They're all just like him calling a guy a pedo,
and it's like, is that a joke? It was just
all these things. But I really went pretty hard on him,
and I'm honestly scared for my life now. I'm like,
wait a ticket. Elon Musk could have me murdered in
seconds and have it covered up. He's one of the
richest men on the world. I bet he reads the
La Times. I bet he reads anything about himself, and

(10:48):
he fancies himself a comedian, so he wants desperately. You know,
he went on stage with chappelleinal Heo says Sonell. He
went on Rogan like he wants to be a comedian,
which I then at the end of the things said,
I'm very flattered that this person who's so successful in
everything they do want still wants to be a comedian.

(11:09):
It makes me feel cool because this guy who has
everything and can't have everything, can't have this one thing
because he'll never be funny. And I said, he'll never
be funny because he's surrounded by people who will always
laugh at everything he says. And you need to be
a comedian. You need to have a sense of humility,
you need to bomb, and he can't bomb because he
employs everyone he's around. He has no real friends to

(11:32):
tell him that's not funny. Like he did this one
stunt at Twitter when he first bought it where he
he walked in with a sink. Did you know this?
He worked with a sink and was the headline was
let this sink in And he had a big sink
he was carrying in. I said, I felt bad for
the guy that had to go to Low's to buy
that sink, and to all the people that were in

(11:52):
the room with him when he came up with it
that had to be like haa yeah, man like this
guy never has someone not laughing at his jokes. It's
not I said, it's not his fault that he thinks
he's funny. It's our fault. Yeah, it's our fault because
we're scared of him. We want some of his power
and money, so we laugh at everything he says. So
it's not his fault he's not funny and that he

(12:13):
has the.

Speaker 5 (12:15):
That's why it's always impressive when someone incredibly powerful is
actually funny. Like I think Barack Obama. Oh, at the
same time, I think, I don't know he's funny. He
really is actually funny.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
Well, because he came up not a privileged little asshole,
did he who thought, yeah, he's not. Obama probably has
narcissistic tendencies because you have to be to want to
be president. But it seems like he he cares what
other people think.

Speaker 5 (12:40):
Yeah folds.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
Elon's parents owned Emerald mines in Africa. They're pretty well
to do, but they didn't share According to him, they
didn't share the wealth with him. But I'm sure he
had certain benefits.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
That's open door. It's not like they made him live
out in the shed in the backyard like he's still
got things. Yeah, but it's but again it's not his fault.
Like people who are privileged assholes, it's not their fault.
It's not like you would be a kid and be
like mom, Dad, stop showering me with all this like money.
And well, like you, you don't. Yeah, you can't help

(13:14):
how you come up if you are protected from anyone
telling you the truth about life. No, and I am
in several ways sheltered. And but I will say I
am sharing the wealth myself with my family. And back
to this weekend, my mom and I went to Nashville
because I had a shoot on wednes Thursday. I flew

(13:36):
in Wednesday night, my mom joined me on Thursday. Had
a shoot on Thursday for a show on the USA
Network called Barmageddon, And it's hosted by Nikki Garcia, formerly
one of the Bella Twins, but now that she goes
by Garcia, who I actually did their podcast a couple
of weeks ago, and so I already had like a
rapport with her, and she's so nice and just cool

(13:59):
and pretty and talented and all those things. And then
also on the show are it's just it's pretty much
two celebrities guests playing bar Games to with A with A.
This is the second season. So the celebrity has a
team mate, and the teammate is someone who's had like
a really epic fail on on online, you know, like

(14:23):
someone who's like tripped and fell in a pool or like,
you know, just did some embarrassing tosh point zero type
thing and they need redemption. And so we're we're playing
bar games with them against the other celebrity and their teammate.
And then also on the show are Blake Shelton, I
want to say, Blake Griffin, Blake Shelton from the Voice
and Music, and Gwen Sefani and then Carson Dally from

(14:46):
TRL Carson Daily Live Live or whatever that is in
the Today Show. And you couldn't ask for three better
celebrities who are more down to earth cool nice. They're
just so nice. And I know I say that a
lot about celebrities. When I don't say someone's nice, it's
because they're not otherwise I'm gonna say it. So the
only time you'll hear me say anything about a celebrities

(15:10):
personality is generally when they're nice. And if I haven't
commented on it, it probably means they're an asshole, which
often happens or they think they're kid but no, there
was no kidness. Mom. You got in, No, yeah, go ahead,
I got in. Yeah. And I was really not going
to go. I was like, yeah, because I met out
the Hughes two going to these things, and she kind

(15:32):
of just sits in the green room all day, like
she's like kind of over the glitz and glam of
like going down.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
Hitting in a green room, just like watching you on
a monitor most of the time.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, it's it's a really long day.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
And I just thought, well, and I didn't even know
you were starting late, but I was like, I just
may not go. And then You're like, well, you might
have fun, and I'm like okay, and.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
I can always send you home in an uber if
it's not fun. Yeah. I kind of thought that too,
and I was like, Oh, so we're in downtown Nashville,
Blake Griff, Blake Shelton's Bar and filming this thing. We
go to hair and makeup, we do all that. We're
in the green room eating snacks and then we get
pulled to set and then the green room is for

(16:16):
the celebrities guests and that's pretty much it. It's for
me and Al Madrigal who was other celebrities. Yeah, you
know him Daily Show. Yeah, And so we were hanging
out there and then and with my mom and producers
who were like telling us about the games. And then

(16:38):
after the was it after the first game that what
Blake came in?

Speaker 3 (16:42):
It was like the fourth game.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
No, it wasn't. It was after the first one. It
was because I know what I got pulled to go do.
So anyway, we're back in the room in between games,
which I was terrible at all of the games. I
am so used to being bad at everything. It is
absurd how bad I am at anything, and I I
am not good. So besides darn cure words, it's it

(17:10):
is cute. It's I'm really used to it. They were
kind of like, are you okay? And I go, I'm
so used to losing on show, it's not even it
doesn't bother me anymore. It'd be great.

Speaker 5 (17:20):
I want to go see you do Celebrity Ninja Warrior
or whatever. That was.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
That was the worst life.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
I didn't want to.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
It was the worst in my life. Let's let's come
back and talk about that when we get back, and
we'll tell you all about our day at Barmageddon because
there's left stell and then we're gonna get into some
Taylor Swift stuff and uh with the concert we went to.
But also there's some news that's out to address it.
So we'll talk about all that when we get back
my mom and Brian Panji and no of course news

(17:52):
in all right. Yeah, I'm bad at everything and any
kind of like physical channel. I can't even believe I'm
with Chris Convey because sports are so important to him,
and like precision sports and like just bargain, like any
kind of games are so important to him, and he
has a girlfriend that is disabled. Honestly, I think even

(18:15):
it's it turns into special Olympics type stuff with me.
I think it really does. It's so embarrassing and if
I even do a little bit good people go good.
Like it's just so pandering and humiliating. Brian, you went
to American Injia Warrior, which, by the way, I only
got asked to do a day before it was shooting
because someone you had no time to tyree shot dropped

(18:39):
out or something like that. He was Monique. I forget
who it was. It was some black person with one
name dropped out as could have been no Moisia, I
think is characters played by Brandy, which also it could
have been Brandy. Yeah, so you weren't off one name
and a black person. But anyway, so I got asked

(19:00):
to do it because clearly I'm the first person you
think of when Tyrese can't make What did Tyree saying?
I forget probably do a better job? Yeah? Yeah he
was a model, but I think under too. So anyway,
I was that was the worst.

Speaker 5 (19:20):
Not fair, not fair. You need time to train for that.

Speaker 2 (19:24):
Yeah, but no one, no one did you know none
of these other celebrities did Did you get to practice before? Yeah,
there was one day where we went and practiced. My
partner was Jesse Graff. She kind of looks like me,
but fit and she I went to her house and
she had a big pig and she had like a
Menja warrior thing set up in the house. Like inside

(19:45):
the house, it's it's like you in the kitchen, you
can climb on the walls, and do you know there's
ropes and all these things running around, and in her
backyard there's trampolines and all the stuff, so you can
it's because she's a regular yeah. Yeah. So we got
matched with a regular to like help us the like
and this was my first like celebrity thing. So it

(20:05):
was the first time I go, oh, I guess I'm
a celebrity, because you can't be on the show unless
you are. This is twenty seventeen.

Speaker 5 (20:12):
Wow, So this was the moment you were like, oh,
I guess I'm a celebrity.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yeah, because like you, I didn't know I was a
comic until I was on Last Comic Standing. It's like, okay,
well they wouldn't put me on the show unless I
was a comic, like it's in the title Dancing to
the Stars. I was like, okay, I guess I'm a star. Now.
I would never call myself that, but I'm on a
show a star singer, yes, and so I'm a singer.

Speaker 5 (20:35):
Now you're masked.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, well i'm and now I'm masked, so I'm a
masked star celebrity and uh yeah. I wait for these
kind of coronations so to speak, where I get knighted
as such because it's embarrassing to call yourself a celebrity
or a comic. You never know when to do it.
And then you get on the show and you go, well,
I guess I am so no training, but like a

(20:58):
day where I just like ran around an obstacle course
with her in her backyard. It was fun. And then
the course itself, we get there, it is so hard.
None of the celebrities could even do it. Who's the
girl from because Natalie Morales from the Today Show was
the other woman. Yeah, and then it was the girl
from American Beauty who's letting in the bed of roses,

(21:20):
Mina Suvari.

Speaker 5 (21:21):
Oh, okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
And I forget the others, but those are the two girls.
And we were all struggling. The first thing you had
to like like just run on this kind of like
lily pad thing and then you swing to another thing,
and none of us could do it. We kept falling.
Good you weren't alone. And so this was just the
practice during the day and I and so they go,
we're gonna move the lily pads closer together. We're gonna
adjust so that they can at least get past the

(21:44):
first step of.

Speaker 5 (21:45):
This, you know.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
And you got to on the real Ninja Warria, you
fall and you're out. But this one we got to
multiple tribe because it was for charity. It was your celebrity. Yeah,
and so yeah, and.

Speaker 5 (21:56):
They had a little jokes. They had little jokes if
you failed, like if you fell in the pool of water,
there was a person with a raft that could row
you across, Like there's stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Yeah, there were always like these failsafes to like, yeah,
so I got to like row to the other side
because I fell in the water. But it was terrifying
because you're I don't like any of this stuff. I
was like, I would never do a ropes course outside
of if I was like, I don't know. Sixth grade
camp we had to do like a ropes course, and
I only did that because I didn't want to be
the mainly on. I wouldn't. So I was crying and

(22:28):
I was really wanting to walk away. And then they
gave us this speech about how this is then you
would be losing fifteen thousand dollars for these kids with cancer.
It was like for Red Nose Day. And so they're like,
then you would be sacrificing fifteen thousand dollars that's going
to go to kids, and it's like your ego is
more important than that. They gave us like this pep
talk because I and I was crying, and I remember

(22:48):
a guy named Nick from the Yankees.

Speaker 5 (22:50):
Do you know Nick'swisher, Nick Swishisher, the happiest man on
planet Earth.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
Yes. He was so nice to me, and I remember
thinking that he just worked on the show because he
was like, he's just this guy that was like cheering
me on when we were practicing. Yeah, and I was like,
this guy's really cute, Like I wonder what his deal
it Like it was kind of like, oh my god,
this guy's so nice, like and then it turned out
he was a New York Yankee, a beloved New York Yankee.

(23:16):
He was one of the other celebrities, and he was
so nice to me, and I was crying, and he
came over and was just like, hey, you know, this
isn't a big deal. Like he kind of talked me
off the ledge, which I needed because you had to
literally jump off a ledge on this and so so he, uh,
he was just really nice. So anyway we get to
the man, this is like bringing back so much anxiety

(23:37):
we were. It was just so embarrassing because it was
I remember just like I'm almost like starting to cry
because it was just like I didn't want to do it.
I just hate when you were forced to do something
because people are like, you didn't even have die to
think about it. I did. I had hours between the
practice and the.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
I'm talking about this saying yeah, I'll do the show.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah, because at that point I didn't. I don't have
I never want to turn down anything in my career
because you could be the one thing where you do
something funny or someone sees you and it takes and
you're in no position to do that. But I hated
every second of it. I I did the worst by
far out of everyone. And I remember Natalie Morales and

(24:18):
also Mina Suvari being like, this is so hard. We
suck at this and feeling like, oh my god, thank
you guys, you suck too. We're all gonna suck. And
they're all like freaking out about it too. They like,
do they complete the whole thing? Which I only completed
twenty percent of it, So to complete the whole thing
versus twenty percent, you're fucking lying about being I'm so
bad at it. It's like when girls used to go,
I'm gonna get off the f I didn't study it

(24:40):
all in the test, and then they get an A
like those at those little quiet a students who like
to pretend like yes, yeah, I call these women holes
and all. No, they were so nice. Mina Souvari and
Natalie Morales again two celebrities who are so nice and
don't are not too for school, but fuck them because

(25:02):
they were really talented, and they were underplaying it because
they were trying to make me feel better, like this
is scary, this sucks. I yes, it is sweet, but
I did not appreciate them going so far. And Jeff
Die was there swinging all over things and just died
killing it and it was like I wanted Jeff to
and uh after that, I was so mad how good
he was at it. Everyone was good, everyone except me.

(25:24):
I was by far the worst, not even like the worst,
a little like someone has to be the worst, yeah,
but usually there's someone who's a little bit better than you,
but it's slightly like there's someone who's like kind of
riding the bottom with you, but you have to be
the bottom. There was no one even close to as
bad as me. It was so embarrassing. And there's a
huge audience there, you.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
Know, Paramount Lot or something. Yeah, yes, and they they
take Main Street, which is where they film a lot
of like movies and stuff where their sets are all
set up to look like a real street and they
put bleachers, so there is literally hundreds of people watching.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
You, watching you, and and like just feeling bad, feeling
sorry for you, and and I just was like, I
turned off my ego. Do you ever do that where
you're just like or you turn off your fear and
you just like, I think it's not the same thing
people do before they jump off a building. I think
that's what separates My suicide book is talking a lot

(26:18):
about this, like before people kill themselves, they just do it,
like they just rip off the band aid, even though
they know it's gonna hurt it. What literally was the
same feeling I had to just turn off the thing
that told me everything, like don't do this because it
was scary. I'm honest, sixty sixty feet in the air.
Maybe that's an exaggeration, but it's so And I'm scared

(26:38):
of heights and you have to jump out, and yes,
you are attached to things that are going to save you,
and there's a net below, but I have to jump
on this like trapeze bar. It was so scary because
I hate, like I hate diving boards. I hate when
men jump on diving boards and then they almost like
crash on the bottom like they yeah, they double bounce
like and then they land again and they like kind

(26:59):
of miss it, the kind of scre Like nothing makes
me more anxious than like trying to grab a bar
and like missing it, Like there's something just yeah, that's scary,
even though you can't get hurt, Like there was just
something about it.

Speaker 5 (27:11):
It's so interesting because me and Chris had like the
opposite experience that you had watching what Well, we were
in your little circle of your circle of friends. I
think it was me Chris, and was it just me
and Chris, I don't remember. We're in Lizzy was there yet?
And we were in the circle watching you and then uh,
we watched you. We cheered you on. Chris wanted to
do this thing where he put the red circle nose

(27:33):
on his face at a funny moment. Oh yeah, they
filmed him. I don't think it made it to the funny.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Because they were filming you guys as my like teer circle. Yeah,
so their cameras on you. So Chris is trying to
do a bit, yes, yes, and everything. Yeah, that was
all fun. And games down there.

Speaker 5 (27:48):
Yeah, and then but and then after after you finished,
and we were like, oh no, and then Nick Swisher
comes by and gives us like this incredible motivational speech.
Me and Chris Nick Nick Swisher. We were talking to
Nick Swisher for like twenty five minutes, and I don't
think we looked at each other, me and Chris, and

(28:08):
we were like, I don't think I've ever felt better
in my entire life than after talking to Nick Swisher.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
He was the greatest guy, so positive.

Speaker 5 (28:16):
So motivational. I felt like life was new and fresh
and I could do anywhere anything.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
He said he should have been, well, he should have
been your super.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Why was he giving you guys advice?

Speaker 5 (28:27):
No, that's just who he is. He comes by trying to.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Make you feel good about my performance. Is that his
Do you remember anything?

Speaker 5 (28:36):
I think he just exudes joy and happiness. He was
he's a Millionaire's dead.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
He died, he killed himself. I'm just kidding. That'd be
so funny. I mean, not funny, but ironic. I guess. No,
he's still with us.

Speaker 5 (28:51):
Think about the trajectory of a major league baseball player's life.
It's like you're you're the best baseball player. So when
you're in high school and stuff, you're very popular. Then
you go to college, you get a scholarship, then you
get drafted by the New York Yankees, then you're a millionaire. Like,
at what point is your life sad? So he really
has no reason to not be joyful and happy.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
I mean there are funds of people that are, yeah,
can be very successful and just sad because if you
have bad parents, you had to put you know. But yes,
you're right, he had. He seemed to appreciate his life
and appreciate everything he's been given. He was just And
the thing that stick out to me about him is
that I thought he was a pa on the show.
He didn't come off like he was walking around like

(29:31):
a celebrity. He was just talking to everyone and just
so nice, but not in a way that's like this
guy is like trying to be in everyman type thing.
Sometimes you see celebrities doing that where you're like easy,
we get it. You know, you're like special and you
want to spread your little celebrity.

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Right, so people talk about everywhere?

Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yes, yes, so people. It didn't seem motivated in that way.

Speaker 5 (29:51):
So it was just me afterwards High Fiving World Series
champion Nick Swisher as happy as can be. Meanwhile Nikki
is getting rafted across A.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
Yes, and I will say that there was also this
one part where you had to run across. It was
almost like a picture of kebab that has blocks on it,
like uh cubes, and you run across and those cubes
spin and you have to run across the kebab. I
would hate. So I fell during the trapeze thing. I
fell in the water and my shoes get completely soaked.

(30:23):
So for the next part, I just for the kebab,
I was like, let me go barefoot because I'm my
shoes are soaked and it's really uncomfortable. So I went barefoot,
not knowing that you can get you can get injured
your barefoot and no one's looking out for any more celebrities.
So I broke my toe. Then I also sell, oh

(30:44):
I had I fell so hard. I forget which part
I did turf burn? What's is that? What is called
matt burn? I think it was called turf turf toe
I had. Then I had Rugburton like Matt Byrne, so
hard on my legs. I had like thirdred. I mean

(31:06):
I was not healed for months after that show. I
could have probably sued because I was so injured from
the stupid show where I didn't even go far. And
I hope those kids with cancer survived because of my
fifteen thousand dollars. So I hope that they got like
they hired a clown to come in, did you don't
get money? My fifty thousand dollars went nowhere? I mean,

(31:26):
what is that going to do for anyone in a
cancer ward? That's that's like a penny.

Speaker 3 (31:31):
That's gonna pay for one screen reasons.

Speaker 2 (31:34):
Yes, No, it's gonna pay for like a bell they
ring when they sive or whatever. It's like, just donate
the bell. It was I really a hat with that
whole thing. It was not about kids with cancer, it
was about making a TV show. I should have dropped out.
I wish I would have. It was one of those
times in my life where I was like, I wish
I would have listened to my instinct, which was I
hate this, I don't want to do this. I'm not

(31:55):
good at this. I'm not you know, going into something
like last night. My friend was really depressed and didn't
want to go do a comedy set even though she
had one, and she's like, I should go. I feel guilty,
and I'm like, don't go, because you're not gonna be
She's like, but what you know, I know that she
was feeling guilt because what if someone's in the audience,
I can see her that night and change her life.

(32:15):
You're not gonna do a good job. If you're depressed
on stage and you're dreading it and you hate it,
you're gonna actually, that person's gonna see you and remember
you as the girl who bombed because you were so upset.
So like, listen to those voices in your head that
say don't go, because I think so many times people
in our lives surround us with like, what's the worst
that could happen? Just do it? Fight past the fear,
Like fear sometimes kind of tells you what to do

(32:39):
and not do Noway Barmageddon was not a like I
didn't care anymore because this wasn't like it. I have
no ego anymore when it comes to being good at sports.
It's been beaten out of me by Ninja Warrior and
Dancing with the Stars. There's nothing you could do, nothing
I could do on TV Sports Rise and how it
will never embarrass me anymore. I really am immune to

(33:01):
people were like embarrassed for me, I think, but I
just don't care anymore. I wasn't embarrassed for you at all.
I was like, I was so proud of you getting
out there and not caring what people think. Yeah, exactly.
That's that's where you get the that's where people like
have any kind of joy for watching what you do.
It's like she just doesn't care. You made it so
fun too. It was like, well, mom was coming on

(33:22):
women's in Nashville who are just like bigger girls that
wear really tiny things, and She's just like, they just
don't care.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
I would never I could never ever, But I'm like,
I'm so proud of these girls, like.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
For looking like shit they don't and not caring and
looking totally amazing. I think it's amazing. No, it is.
There is something to that when you see someone where
you go. If I looked like that, I'd not leave
my house.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
Well, they're wearing wear that outfit for sure, and they
just don't seem to care. They love it, they embrace it,
and I'm like, God love them, God love them.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
Yeah, that's sorry, because that's the only person that will. No,
that's not how I feel at all.

Speaker 5 (34:05):
It was just a joke.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
Don't come at me. Treat me like a man, and
don't come at me for saying horrible things, which is
something I've noticed. When you're a man, you can say
really awful things on podcasts that are just like the
worst thing you because you have a feminine energy, like
you're like you, they'd probably come after you, like Andrew Santino,

(34:26):
Bobby Lee, Tim Dillon, Christ Stefano. You can the most racist,
crazy shit ever because it's a joke, because you're joking
and they should be able to say it and everyone
laughs and they share the clips. But if you're a
woman and say something that is hateful in jest, you're
taking very seriously. And I want to get on. I

(34:48):
want to get in this men's club where you get
a free pass. And I'm not hating on those guys.
I actually I think they're the funniest people going, but
they just for some reason. I look at these clips
and I hate to play this. If they were a woman,
they would be canceled. But I do believe women aren't.

Speaker 5 (35:05):
How can you get into that pack club? How can
you establish your persona.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
You just you I'm on my next special. I'm going
hard and I'm calling it. I'm going to I just
like was like assessing my jokes, and I'm like, I'm
just kind of trying to play it safe so that
people don't hate me with these jokes. So they'rein you,
Like if they sense you're scared, they'll jump on that.
You know, Like I'm scared a little bit of getting

(35:30):
canceled and having people be mad at me. That's why
I'm even saying these caveats of I'm not really meaning that.
I was just saying a joke. I don't actually think.

Speaker 3 (35:37):
Yeah, people have to say that after yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
Because I still have this fear. But if I just
go hard and I'm unapologetic and I kind of want
to call the special something like I'm a bad person,
or like bad time must be a bad person, or
like I just want to get a like that I've
talked about before, like saying what it is so that
people can't go, she's a bad person. It's like, well
she told us she was, and I'm not a bad

(36:00):
I just have really dark thoughts, and guess what, I
can't help my thoughts. I can't help what I say.
I would argue I can't help what I say because
there's no free will. But that's another conversation. I let's
say I can help what I say. I can't help
what I think. So if someone is thinking, man, if
I looked at that, I'd kill myself. But good for her.

(36:23):
You can't sit for some reason you even thinking it.
People would say you should be canceled for thinking it.
But I can't help that I thought it. So what
am I supposed to do? I think i'd be really careful.
I hate noill. My mom doesn't want me to take
any chances. Ever, she's get snaky. I wouldn't do it. Well,
I have enough money to retire, so if I live

(36:45):
modestly the rest of my life. I mean, you're not
gonna get any cars or anything.

Speaker 4 (36:48):
But what.

Speaker 5 (36:52):
You're in a perfect place. You're in the perfect place
to do this right now, especially just the state of
the industry, like you could if if no and if
the industry canceled you or whatever, you could make millions
of dollars, just like Tim Dillon, just like Andrew Schultz
on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Yes, well, yeah, my audience would follow me somewhere. People
that like what I do would follow me, And I'm
so appreciative of that, because you don't really need anything
when you have that kind of like built in crowd
that will like pay you directly.

Speaker 5 (37:19):
And bought his special back from Amazon or Netflix or
whatever and then made like five times as much money
releasing it himself.

Speaker 2 (37:26):
Can someone buy back his special from me? I regret,
I'm just kidding, canceled.

Speaker 5 (37:33):
I think with all those people, the difference is that
they when they started, they they introduced themselves to the
public with that persona of I'm gonna say whatever.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
And they're not trying to be on ABC Dancing cost
as a snowflake. They're not you know, they're not trying
to play both sides.

Speaker 5 (37:52):
Like one female comedian who got away with that is
Sarah Silverman. I mean, she says a lot of stuff
that probably most women would cancel for, and she gets
with it. I think because she established her persona like
this is who I am. Yes, this is what I'm
gonna do the whole time. If you're not on board,
why are you watching me?

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Stick it? I don't wanna. And by the way, I'm
not someone who wants anyone to feel bad about who
they are or like like if. And I'm also someone
who when I say something negative, I'll admit that it
was a bad thing to say, and then I'm sorry
if it hurt anyone's feelings. I can't help though that
I thought it, you know, like I and I can

(38:30):
live with that. I'm not just out there trying to
hurt people. But there do you see clips like that, Brian,
where you just go, I can't believe this person has
a career after saying something like that, whereas people have
been canceled for so much less.

Speaker 5 (38:43):
Like for women only or for men and women.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
No, Like, there's this clip that I watched all the
time that is one of my favorites, where it's I
can't even I won't even describe it. Because it's saying
that it's one of my favorites. People will go, you're
clearly racist because you think that's funny. But it's like
a thing from Santino and Bobby Lee's podcast Bad Friends,
where they're arguing about who has more black people at
their show. I think I showed it to you, you did,

(39:06):
and I will describe it. They're both arguing back and
forth about who has more black people at their individual
stand up shows. And Andrew's like, I could I have
more black people at my show in any market I get,
I get black people, I get black people coming out
to my shows, and Spokane like saying, you know. And
then Bobby's like, oh, I could get black people and
spoken and I get the good ones. And then all

(39:27):
of a sudden they just stop and Andrew and Bobby
he says good ones and then he just puts his
hand head in his hands because he knows exactly like
he's just said something horrible. And then Andrew, they just
cut to him and he's just looking straight in the
camera and he goes, keep it in, keep it in,
don't It's just so funny. And I'm laughing at something
that is racist. So but I feel like if I

(39:49):
said that, yeah, but I don't know, maybe I wouldn't
be I don't want to play that card all the time,
but I would like to be in that same So
I think it just got to go harder. Well, I
get why he want to do this.

Speaker 3 (40:01):
I mean, good, bring it out, bring it out, you
know who, though I know I'm a little nervous.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
Ali Wong. I watched Ali Wong's special Don Wong this
weekend Chris and I are watching a lot of stand
up specials because we're getting ready to produce mine together,
and we watched like a couple female comic specials and
we were like, Okay, we see what's working here. We
see with like but we're not laughing. And then we
put on Ali Wong's and we're both dying laughing because
this bitch is just she's not performed, like she's being

(40:33):
performative because she does talk in a very funny way.
I don't know if you've ever seen her stand up,
but her cadence is like almost a hip hop like
a delivery. I can't even like do it justice, but
it's like, you know, you see her talk in the
show Be For or you see her at interviews, and
then you see her on stage and she's doing a
different delivery, but there's and it's performative in that way,
but she's saying real shit, like at one point she's just.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
Like, I want to cheat on my husband so bad.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
And it's like you can tell she's probably said that
line a bunch because it's in her special, but it
comes across so genuine, so real, because it is real,
and it's a fucking crazy thing to say, and now
she's divorced. In one way, she goes, I'm having a
midlife crisis, but there's it's just it was the difference
between someone it was just age. Honestly, it made me

(41:23):
excited about being older because watching younger stand ups, you
just are seeing a more like I'm trying to hit
these places where I'm trying. I've done it and I
did it before too, Like I look at my old
specials and I'm like, just you're just more mechanical and
you're like following the beats, whereas she's like really feeling it.

(41:44):
And it was just watching her special blew my mind
because it was just so it wasn't as like sharply
written in terms of like joke joke, joke, joke joke,
which I can really appreciate sometimes, but the feeling behind
it made every it so much better than any joke
laid and special. And then there were I mean, there's

(42:05):
tons of jokes in it, but it wasn't it wasn't
as calculated. It just felt like more real and I
just really and she's widely successful and she was saying
the craziest. At one point she was like, I love
getting to come on my face. I love it. Yummy, yummy, yummy,
gim me, gim me get like and I was like,
oh my god. She is commercially one of the most

(42:25):
successful women going. And she did a special where she said, yummy, yummy, yummy,
come on my face, give it to me, get it
in my eye. I go, you can do anything. Women
can do anything. It really made me feel great. Okay,
we're gonna take a quick break and we're gonna talk
about Barmageddon, which we didn't get to, and we're gonna
talk about Taylor's nick Way Wace. Okay, So Blake Shelton

(42:48):
comes into the green room. Now.

Speaker 3 (42:51):
First, when first, when you were like he came in,
He's like Nikki and we were all with a bunch
of people, okay, and they were setting up for one
of the games. Yes, that the uh ATX throw. Did
I give away anything?

Speaker 2 (43:06):
No, people aren't gonna watch now Logan Roy dies in
this episode. Anyway, You're like, acts to the head, this
is my mom.

Speaker 3 (43:17):
And he's like and I'm like, hi, I was shaking
his hands right and he's like, oh no, and he
comes up and gives me and.

Speaker 2 (43:22):
He's like, no, we got a hug and he gives her.
He is so first of all, so adornable. He's really
It's funny when I when I told Chris that Blake
Shelton was amazing, he was like, are you serious? Am
I gonna have to like this guy now? And I go, yeah, unfortunately,
because you want to not like Blake Shelton. If you're
someone who doesn't like country music a lot, you don't
like that, Oh, you don't like any like, he's just

(43:43):
a guy that you go, Oh, this guy's probably just
around him. He is genuine, he's nice. He wasn't hugging
my mom because it was like presentational.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
It was he was just being sweet because I was
gonna shake his hand, He's like, oh no, and it
was like he gave me a sincere hug, and it
was like, oh my god, this is so cute, so
cute and he's adorable.

Speaker 2 (44:06):
And then we're up in the green room after the
darts or no, sorry, the acts. There's no darts. Don't worry,
yes there were no mom, don't you know the one's watch.

Speaker 5 (44:19):
If you were gonna ask me what's gonna be in
a bar competition, I mean darts and acts throwing? Maybe
like my top two choices.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
Can I just say this show is amazing because everything,
all the games are called really funny things like the
and this is from first season too, So if you
watch the show first season, you know, don't be an
axhole is the name of the first game. And then
the darks Shelton Darts they get away with like really
funny names. It's a fun game.

Speaker 3 (44:48):
It's amazing that stuff they're getting away with on this show.
It was really fun.

Speaker 2 (44:52):
And so then yeah, so then Blake comes up to
this green room and let me just say, I don't
know if you know this there that wasn't he had
a whole separate green He had a green room that
was his own private one that most of the celebrities,
I mean, Carson Daily went to his private green room,
Nikki went to hers. Blake made a point to go
to ours and hang out in ours, not just to
drop by and say hey. He sat down. So it's me,

(45:14):
Blake and my mom all sitting around. Then I get
pulled to go do a social media thing and I
was like, where are you going now? And so I'm like,
I'm just gonna leave you to have a picture all
my way out of the room because it's just Blake
and my mom sitting alone in a room. But I
left you and I go, she'll be fine, Like, and
he has every he could just make up. If he
wants to leave, he can just go. I gotta go

(45:35):
touch him on makeup or whatever. But they sat there
for fifteen minutes and talked. What did you guys talk about?

Speaker 3 (45:40):
He asked me so many questions, like he was totally
interested in my life. But we were talking about grandkids
and I'm like, well, have you been around little kids?

Speaker 2 (45:49):
He's like, well, Gwyn's kids.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
My mom forgot that he was married to Gwen.

Speaker 3 (45:54):
No, I didn't forget. I didn't know Gwen. He had
three little boys. Oh okay, so you know they were young.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
And to know the bar was his. No, she goes
this place? Is I rate? It was nice? It's amazing.

Speaker 3 (46:07):
Yeah, And he's like, yeah, it is nice, isn't it?
And I thought, and then someone told me later, well
he owns this bar.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
I'm like, you gotta be kidding. Because we entered the backway.
We didn't see the ald A side.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
Now, I didn't see anything, and I really it would
look like I knew nothing about him, which I don't.
I only knew we was married to Gwen.

Speaker 2 (46:24):
And he's on the Voice, been on the Voice for
twenty three seasons.

Speaker 5 (46:27):
Yeow, Yeah, I know.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
Isn't that crazy that show's been on that long?

Speaker 3 (46:30):
Yeah, but he's such a genuine person. What else he
was he asked, going told me a great story about
his mother and his old boss when he was a roofer.
How he was like, Yeah, he was a roof when
he was like seventeen in Oklahoma, and he liked his
boss and he's like, you should ask my mom out.
And he's like, she's too old for me. And so

(46:52):
he said, I used to do little gigs around Oklahoma
and one night his mom came and uh and uh,
this roofer boss came and his mom went up and said,
I'm too old for you, and she smacked him across
the fence. And they've been married since. Yeah, they're story

(47:13):
in love and Love and Oklahoma.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
And it makes sense because I was like, oh, you
know what he's attracted to, Like these bad ass women. Yeah,
you know, Gwen's Afani, Miranda Lambert, like his history, like
he kind of is attracted to like women who are
like I know, Hollaback girl. You know, like there are
like these tough broads and it's like, oh, it always
goes back there. He was attracted to me.

Speaker 3 (47:33):
Yeah, no, I'm not kidding. He was so sweet and
he just hung out and he just would There was.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
About the donuts.

Speaker 3 (47:44):
Oh yeah, oh anyway, we had gone down, so finally
they called him and he said, you want to walk
down with me? And I'm like sure, so I'm more
following him out and there's these rack of donuts by
the elevator in the kitchen part and I said what
are those and he goes, I don't know, I kind
of want one, And I said, well, maybe you can
get one later or something. I said, I don't know, sure,

(48:06):
therefore something. So we went down and of course this
was fun. The whole set was all staged and everybody's
sitting in their places, audience and all the you know contest.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
No win with the big abilition, Oh away a bar crazy,
But it's not exactly what you think aside. Literally it's
kind of funny.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
So we walk in and everybody's just looking at me, like, oh,
you're walking in with Blake.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
It was. I looked at Nick and I went, oh,
look at this. Yeah, anyway. Uh no, he just was
the sweetest guy.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
Okay, donuts, Oh donuts anyway, So uh we go back up.

Speaker 2 (48:50):
He's no longer hanging out with me. I don't know what.
I found some other mom. Yeah, he found another book.

Speaker 3 (48:55):
Anyway, we go back and there's this guy that works
there in the kitchen with four big, huge bags of
garbage bags and I said, where are those donuts and
he said they're in there and I said they're in
the garbage and he said, yeah, we're throwing them out.
And I'm like, wait a minute, can you open one
of the because one of the girls was taking me

(49:16):
up the one of the PA's was like guiding me
up there. I'm like, they're throwing these donuts away. Blake
wanted one of these dopes, so I just got I
took out. I said, can I have said? He goes, yeah,
go ahead, and I'm like taking it. They're all perfect
on top and I'm like stacking them on a plate
and I'm like great, So I take them up. I
put them in the green room and all these other people.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
Were in the green room. They all knew Mom dug
these out of the trash. And I mean it was
a fresh trash bag the donuts resht Yes, it was.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
He would have eaten them if they had done.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
I went in and.

Speaker 3 (49:49):
Told these girls, I said, I dug these out of
the trash. I said, I say, you guys didn't even
touch these donuts.

Speaker 2 (49:56):
I said you could have.

Speaker 3 (49:58):
I said, but I'm glad you didn't, because I think, Blake,
what's one of these?

Speaker 2 (50:01):
And they're like, they're going oh.

Speaker 3 (50:03):
And then I was standing in the doorway over here
and Blake walks back in there and everybody's in there
and all Nikki's hair people and stuff. And I told
him the story and no one mentioned that. He goes, oh, look, donuts.
So she told the girls the story. So then Blake
comes in and goes, oh, donuts, where'd those come from?

Speaker 2 (50:20):
And everyone was silent, say they're from the Tarvish. Yeah,
So he didn't get a donuting home. My mom brought
the donuts home on a plate she had like to
the hotel to the hotel and they were never eaten
the whole week. Wit you ate half of one later
that night. Okay, I don't even really dots. Speaking of

(50:41):
advocating for yourself with the Subaru situation and how that
all ended up working for you. I have to say
I had a victory this weekend with that. We actually
had a couple of things where we called and like
made things happen that I would usually let go. So
on Taylor Swift Night, I had ordered from this place
two nights prior or, I'd ordered from Postmates two nights

(51:02):
in a row, Wednesday night and Thursday night, and got
food delivered to this hotel no issue. I didn't have
to meet the guy at that's the front desk. I
just they just dropped it off at the front desk
and they brought it up to my hotel because it's
a nice hotel. Most of the time you have to
go to the lobby. Hotels are like, we're not bring
it to you, but this is a nice one. They
brought up no issue, right. The guy didn't call me
to be like where do I take it? Like it
was clearly it's a hotel. So then on the Taylor

(51:22):
Swift Night, I know this restaurant I really went from.
They're they're closed at nine, So I ordered at seven
for these for the restaurant to bring our food at nine.
We get back in a thirty after the show and
I need because nothing would be opened by then, so
except like shitty bar food and so or like you know,
trash tonuts, and so I was like, we'll have this food.

(51:44):
So I'm at Taylor Swift. I'm in the middle of
the show and I get a call. I getting all
these calls on my phone and I'm just pressing like ignore, Ignore.
Then I'm getting things from Postmates, but it's not delivering
until like minutes later, and Postmates is like, if you
don't meet your courier, if you don't get back to
if you don't respond, were canceling the order ten minutes
past the courier's writing me if I don't hear from you,
So then they cancel my order. They have the food

(52:05):
at the hotel because I'm not like coming down to
get it, just take it to the front desk like
you have every other night. So my order gets canceled.
That food gets just I am out one hundred dollars
worth of food. That is just all you had to
do was leave it at the front desk. But instead
this guy wanted to call and I needed a code
to send him. And so I'm at Taylor Swift. I'm
furious because I'm already hungry. I'm looking forward to this meal.

(52:28):
At the end of the night, it's nine o'clock, I
have two and a half hours to go before the
show's over, and then we have to walk all the
way back to our hotel. I'm like, there's good I
don't have any food back there. This was supposed to
be my meal. I'm so pissed and there's nothing I
can do because it's just canceled. So I was just
like mad about it. And then I was almost so
mad that I was like couldn't enjoy the show because
I was just like, you fuck up everything you always get.

(52:49):
You never get any deals, you always lose money. This
is the way your life is. Like I'm just like
having this kind of go through my head of like,
spot just get fucked over. Yeah, spiraling about this extra
cost because I am someone who doesn't follow up. I
always pay more. I never try to like, hey, is
there a way I could get this lower. I just
never get a deal. I'm always just hemorrhaging money because

(53:11):
I feel guilty for existing. And so I was like, God,
what is wrong with me? Here's another one hundred and
twenty four dollars just down the drain, and then I'm
mad about the food that probably just got thrown in
the trash, right, like fucking donuts, like those donuts, and
so I'm just like, I wasted food which could go,
and like, you know, people and animals had to like

(53:32):
work for that food, because I think you ordered some
animal products and I'm just like so obsessed with no
I did, and I had a part of oh that's okay.
So those those mushrooms that had to die for that food.
It was just like annoying to me to waste food,
and so I was pissed. But then I got over it,
and I was like, you are not gonna let this
ruin this six thousand dollars concert you bought. You are
I have to just enjoy the show. I will find

(53:52):
food after the show. Let it go. And then I
kind of thought, this is so dumb to get mad
about food because that food would be gone by twelve
o'clock tonight and turned into poop. So what is the
big difference. The only difference is I didn't get to
taste it, right, otherwise it would it's it all turns
to waste anyway. So I was kind of thinking about
poop and like making myself feel better, like the concert

(54:14):
while Taylor swipes on stage singing for Bacteria. Now, So yeah, yes,
I was just like, you know what, it all goes
to waste anyway, so it doesn't matter, And I think
that really helped me. Was like, what so I just
didn't get to taste food, That's really all I'm lamenting.
The money would have been gone either way. It just
would have been I missed out on teasing different for me. Yeah, okay,

(54:34):
got it, So it's all good. So then but I
told Chris the story two days later, and he was like,
you got to get that money back. I said, I
don't know what I'm gonna do, and so I just pull.
But then I go, I spend so much fucking money
on Postmates. I bet any if I write to them,
they're gonna look at my order history and know that
they're gonna miss out on if I if they pissed

(54:56):
me off, they're missing out on thousands of dollars a year.
So I wrote to them, and I explained the whole
thing via the chat thing, which never really works when
you're chatting with like one of those people that's like, Hi,
I'm Daniel, I'm here to help you. How can I
be of service? And it's like that, and they're just
writing to you. Daniel fucking took care of it right away,
and not only did he give me all my money back,

(55:16):
he gave me ten dollars extra for inconveniencing me. Wow.
I was like I couldn't. I was so happy that
I got that money back, all because I just like
took the initiative to like ask questions and to like
get into a little bit more. Goddamn it, we're already
at that final thought. Okay, well you're.

Speaker 5 (55:34):
You're also like most of these companies will bend over
backwards to make sure you're satisfied because you could talk
and talk about this shit.

Speaker 2 (55:43):
Oh right, well Postmates, thank you so much. Final thought.
Let's talk about Taylor Swift. Okay, let's do Yeah, we
have ten minutes, okay, Okay, so we go to the concert.
Did you know that we were? I was thinking about
going on Sunday night. I actually had a bestie who
offer we tickets. Shout out to her, thank you so much,

(56:03):
but I turned it down because I didn't want to
like wait in town for two more days just to
go to a show that I've seen four times now.
Sunday night, it rained all night long and her show
was delayed two hours, so that show did not end
until one thirty in the morning, and you know she did.
She did the whole show and ding rain. So it

(56:24):
was kind of cool because that's kind of like a
tradition of hers is like there's always like rain shows
that are super special and like everyone's excited that they
were at a rain show. I'm happy I wasn't at
a rain show because I will say we were almost
at a rain show on Friday night for Taylor Swift
because it was raining during it started raining, Phoebe Bridgers played.
She's amazing. It was so awesome to see not only

(56:44):
Taylor Swift but Phoebe Bridgers, who is like my second
favorite musical artist right now. And it started raining during
her set and we got prepared. Yeah, well this callback
what did you do? Well? You told me to go out.

Speaker 3 (57:01):
You were taking a little nap, and you said go
try to find us some ponchos. Go to these couple
of stores, and I'm like, nobody had any. So I
finally went to this local grocery store and these two
gals were like, no but we still have some heavy
duty garbage bags in the back.

Speaker 2 (57:15):
And they brought out scissors and they were like, are
these women black? Yes, I could just tell by the
voice you did. I tried not to do that. I
just could tell. But they were the sweetest girls. Am I.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
Yeah, they pulled out scissors from like the office in
the grocery store.

Speaker 2 (57:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (57:35):
She came out with she came out with the two
bags and she said, and another girl came over together,
here's the scissors.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
And I'm like, oh nice.

Speaker 3 (57:41):
And there were four women involved in this and trying
to help me.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
Mom and I had these makeshift ponchos and they were
so there's a picture that I'm gonna post of my
mom and her. I was laughing so hard and this
this pancho. I don't know why it was so funny
to me, but you were just you look so funny
trash back. And then it stopped raining and my mom
stayed in the trash bag and it was like not
raining for ten minutes, and I go and this was right.

(58:07):
It was like during the time between Phoebe and Taylor
where there was no one on stage and my mom
we were just in these trash bags. And eventually I
took mine off and she goes, it looks like it's
not rain anymore. I go, it hasn't been rained for
ten minutes. And you go, well, you gotta tell me, Nick,
and then you came out of the bag. But then
Taylor took the stage, and I swear to God like
it had been spitting rain up until the second she
took the stage, and then there was no rain the

(58:28):
entire concert, And it was like it was as if
she controlled the weather. It was like, and I wasn't
even worried. It was so funny because before she came
on stage, I was like, is it gonna rain, but like,
stay away because the clouds are over. It's just like
that kind of weather where it could start raining any second.
But when she took the stage, it was as if
there was no work. There was no chance of rain,
like it was still in the air kind of. But

(58:50):
I was like, it just won't happen because she's there's
something special. So the show was great as usual. I
know I'm at the point now where I know I
don't have to look at my set anymore to know
where she's going. I know what song goes into next song,
I know all of the like versions of the song
she does that are different than the studio version, like
all the interlude versions of the songs I for Swifties

(59:14):
out there. The very best one she does is the
Illicit Affairs, where it's like, don't call me kid, don't
call me baby. She does it like four times and
it's like she's on the ground, like flailing around, And
that is my favorite part of the Era's tour by far.
And also the beginning when all these guys are out
there with fans and then all of a sudden they
put the fans down and then they lift them up

(59:34):
and she's there and she goes, it's been a long
time coming. That's so exciting. What's your favorite special? The
whole show is a spectacle. Yeah, my mom. I just
keep looking at my mom and she just goes, She's
so cute, She's so cute, she is so amazing. She
just is she is.

Speaker 3 (59:49):
There's no doubt about it. That show is probably the
best production I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
It. It's insane. Yeah, and I've seen a lot of
there's lights, there's but.

Speaker 3 (59:59):
Her day is uh, it's just so affecting everyone in
the whole place. Everybody is just freaking out. And her
voice is so good.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
There's no like, she's not phoning in anything, there's no backing.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
Vote, effortless, effortless, fartless. I mean, she looks like she
But let's talk about the elephant in the room, and
that is what would bring us to Why do I care?

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
Why do I care? Okay, Noah, let's hear the headline
because there's a lot that went down this weekend in
Taylor Swift's love life, or speculation of it.

Speaker 1 (01:00:37):
Okay, So the latest headline is Taylor Swift and Matt
Healy like each other, were reconnected by Jack Antonov. Sources say, oh,
I didn't.

Speaker 2 (01:00:48):
Hear that, but I assumed that I will only speak
to what I know that the general public knows, and
I will not speak to anything I might know from
people who know things behind the scenes. Oh, you, I
don't know. I may or may not, but I swifties
do not want to accept that Matt Heally and Taylor

(01:01:10):
Swift are together. I don't blame him why, I don't know.
You know it is Matt he is from the nineteen
seventy five, which is a band that Taylor Swift is
a huge fan of and has been friendly with for
a while, and she actually made an appearance at their
show in February, I think January or February where she
did she performed anti Hero and then she performed one

(01:01:32):
of the nineteen seventy five songs of the City, and
I noticed that night that she was spectacular and there
was I have to say, as someone who has performed
in front of boys, I like, there's a certain she's
gonna say quah that I bring to the performance. When
I think Chris is watching, or like a guy I
like is watching, I just have something else going on.

(01:01:55):
Like that honestly motivates me more than anything is when
a guy I like is watching me, it's the best
thing for my performance possible. And I sent something from
those performances even then that there was someone special there.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
Wait where did you see this online?

Speaker 2 (01:02:11):
Okay, so it's it's a game. I actually from that appearance,
the nineteen seventy five were doing a concert and she
walks out on stage in the middle of it to
do they give her a couple songs in the middle
of it when she walks on the stage. I wanted
to play a game called terrorist attack or Taylor Swift
is walking out on stage because the audience screams as
if there is a mass shooter in the building. I

(01:02:32):
mean it is. It's bananas, these screams. You can barely
even watch the video because it's just people are like
just losing them, shredding their voices, screaming. It's really well.

Speaker 3 (01:02:41):
I was in the crowd when she was being walking
on stage. People are so loud.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
So loud, and they really do wreak havoc on their voices.
Oh it's bad for your voice to be that excited.
But anyway, So Matt Heally was at the shows in
Nashville this weekend. Okay, he was the night before, on
Thursday night or whatever Thursday was in Manila. He was
in the Philippines. Is that the Philippines? Manila? He was
doing a concert there with the nineteen seventy five. He

(01:03:06):
jumped on the first flight out. He was spotted at
the airport by a fan. He was on the first
flight out to Nashville. You know, it was probably connecting.
I don't think they have directed from Manila. So he
made it to the show. He was at the show.
He was spotted in the VIP tent enjoying her set.
Swifties want to convince themselves they're just friends. Sorry, guys,
they are definitely together. Stopping in denial. Mom and dad

(01:03:31):
are never getting back together. There's a new guy in town.
It's just it's happening, and everyone's saying he's problematic because
he's said things before that are like he's dated younger girl.
It's like, you're allowed to date a nineteen year old.
I don't care what age you are. They're legal. I'm sorry,
it's not problematic. It's annoying, and I can make fun
of it. He's thirty three.

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
Yeah, you can date in nineteen anyone can't.

Speaker 2 (01:03:54):
They're legal. Unfortunately, eighteen year olds you can date them.
It's like, you can think that's problematic all you want,
but it's not illegal. Okay, unless you know in sixteen
is not illegal in many states, which is just disgusting.
But you can think it's disgusting, but it's not illegal.
And she's not doing anything wrong by dating someone. And
he said some things in the past. He's just a
rock star who says stupid, drunken things sometimes. He's not

(01:04:17):
really problematic. He's not a terrible person. Shut up, let
her have fun. She's someone that she admires. He's a
rock star who she obviously shares something in common with
as being a prolific artist. He's cool, he's kind of
like offbeat. He's a little just like rough around the edges.

(01:04:40):
Let her have some fun. I do believe they are
in love because the biggest thing that I saw after
that show on Friday night and this one was like,
whoa so in Manila? I guess it was from his performance,
you know, two nights prior. He at one point set mouthed,
this next one's for you, you know who you are.

(01:05:01):
I love you, And then he sang a song that
some people are saying could have been about Taylor Swift
because it's a song about a girl, all right. And
then on our show, which I did remember seeing right
before Cardigan, the song, Taylor's mouthing something. I couldn't make
it out. Later on TikTok, they put them both together.
She goes, this one's for you, you know who you are.

(01:05:24):
I love you. It's giving me chills on my back
of my head. They mouthed the same things. They're both
they both know what they're doing. They aren't trolling you.
They aren't making fun of the fact that there are
rumors about them. They are confirming it. They were spotted
together in a car on Saturday night too. They are together,
and then she sang Cardigan, which the song is called.

(01:05:44):
In the song, it's and you'd come back to me,
and you come back to me. It's all about a
guy coming back to her. And they dated before. No
one really confirmed it. It was always like, you know,
there were suspicions that they dated. They did date before
her and Joe were together, so it makes sense that
she would sing that song. They are together. Let her

(01:06:05):
have fun. What he's said in the past is not
a reflection of who she is, and he's just a
rock star guy. Let her.

Speaker 3 (01:06:13):
I don't know, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in, I'm in,
I'm going Joe.

Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
Why should she suffer? And you know, just no, everyone's
like ever everyone hated Joe when they first got together.
Everyone just wants her to themselves. Yeah, unless she can
be with me. Yeah, I don't want her with anyone.
And who is she supposed to be with that has
never said one problematic thing in their life. Everyone is
problematic everyone.

Speaker 5 (01:06:37):
Isn't it true? The band's called nineteen seventy five because
he won't date anybody who was born before.

Speaker 3 (01:06:42):
The good One.

Speaker 2 (01:06:46):
So yes, they are together. I don't have that confirmed
by any inside sources or anything, but I have eyes
and ears and a working brain, and from what I
can tell, they are together. She is not trolling anyone.
And it is also rumored that Taylor Swift is coming
out with a book that will be released in July,
and that is very, very exciting.

Speaker 1 (01:07:05):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (01:07:06):
And it did send me into a kind of depression
spiral yesterday because I'm like, Taylor Swift can write a
book and write four albums in a pandemic. I can
barely read a book or like listen to an album
in that time. I was like memorizing her albums was
enough work for me, and I just as much as
I want a book from her, I'm just like, can
you just wait a couple of years? So goddamn prolific.

(01:07:29):
It's just too much pressure for the rest of us.
No one goods Paul McCartney, but she is. When Dan
and I get into fights about the Beatles or whether
Paul McCartney or Taylor Swift, it's like it's not it's
not even a funny. He's coming around Nick.

Speaker 3 (01:07:44):
Yeah, he better yes, Yeah, because that's all I do
is play Taylor Swift now and he's and he's imitating
her a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
Yeah because he he's jealous. He's so jealous. He can't
stand that someone actually is as good as his beloved
Paul McCartney. Okay, we gotta go. Thank you guys so
much for listening to the podcast. We will be back tomorrow,
don't you even think we won't. And I'm going to
be in Europe coming up very soon. Check out my
tour dates. If you are in or around the Europe area,
you know that I will be in like fourteen cities

(01:08:14):
just next week, all before June first, my birthday. So
it's the last month of my tour before I'm thirty nine.
And I would really like to see you guys on
the road. I won't be able to do meet and
greets unfortunately at these shows, but I will look out
in the audience and see your lovely faces, and I
really wish you would come see me. I cannot wait.
Thank you for listening to the show. Don't be kid
and just let her date who she was, right right, right,
