The Nicky Glazer Podcast. Here's Nikki. Hello, here I am. It's a Nicki Glazer podcast. I'm Nicki Lazer. This is my new voice. Welcome to the show. I'm back fully recovered and um yeah, happy to be back. I didn't know it would be so soon, but it's here. And UM, if you don't think I sound different, keep that opinion to yourself. I don't want to hear it because I spent dollars on this voice. And um, yeah, so it's back. What do you think it doesn't sound any different? I know, I know first of all, it sounds much worse out of the gate. The tone, it's not it's not good. He fixed my He did not fix my tone. It's still going to be impatient and ornery. But there's a brightness to the overall. Yes, No, I do hear a little bit of a higher pitch. I really do. I think it probably is closer to what your voice was originally. Yeah, it's like when I first talked in the office the other day. Yeah, I saw I was like, this is what I sounded like in high school. Like it was just like I have not heard this person for decades. Is it weird? Hearing your voice after three weeks, does it well? It was just weird hearing a new voice, because this to me is I'm used to it right now because I've heard it for four days now, three days now, so I'm used to it. But um, but especially in the speaker where you're hearing it back, no, um no, because I feel like it's a little bit like there are times like I can just if what I describe it as is before I was driving a car that like an old I can only picture. It's like my old Mercedes in high school. It's like a nineteen seventy seven and you push on the gas and it would just take so long to go like room, and then you could get to the spot that you want. It's like the first time I drove a nice Alexis. Alexis, I can't say Lexus. They gave you whatever you have. Would you like to just to my tongue on both sides? Wait, what would you like to use your new voice to introduce our guest? Yes, I would love to. Um. Welcome to the show. My best friend Um. You hear her every time our show starts doing the podcast theme song. She has a Patreon that you can support. She um has music that you can support on Spotify. Her name is on your Marina Welcome to the show. Anya. Hey guys, hey girl, um On you heard my voice maybe first? Yeah, I heard it. I have the voicemail. What's so It's like, hey guys, it's Nikki Finny voice. I was like, this is the Nikki I met in twelve when we became roommates. Yeah, it was probably. It did sound that way, like I can go back to hearing myself on Comedy Central, like on my show Not Safe and it had not dropped yet, but it just told you this. But you sound so much like my favorite One of my favorite albums is Liz Fair on iTunes originals talking about her songs. So she does like a song and then we'll talk about it and she has this clear, like sweet, malefluous voice and it's like a SMR for me, And your voice sounded like that. It was just like I expect you to be Like I wrote, fucking run I wrote run Um, I mean I can do a better onion, like I can do a better on your now, like it's easy. I want my my goal. When I first started talking in the office, because they were filming me for the Graham Ben Singer show, this show that's been following me around through this process. He filmed me like going into the surgery, doing interviews before it and then not during it, but he was there. They were there. When I started talking again, I wanted to go like, hi everyone, and does everyone would be like what the fuck? Um? What is it different? But it kind of did sound like that. It was. So it's a little bit I talked too much this weekend and it's just I'm not ready to be talking as much as I have Ben. So it's a little bit like horse today, which is a disappointment because I wanted to debut. Wouldn't have it be different, but it was the thing, is it like I like I was giving the analogy for the car, It's like it just you know, the first time you drive a nice car and you just put you gently tap and it just smoothly, like goes as fast as you want to the car to go on the gas like it's just so there's no effort behind it. So is there a clearness in your throat when you talk or was there something that was that you ever felt? No, you don't feel anything. You don't feel like, um, there's no nerves there, so there was no pain, you know, during the surgery or anything. It's just what I feel is that. And I'm gonna have to relearn how to speak because I was giving, so I was pushing. I was driving that old car, so I was constantly like shoving my foot down on the gas for everything I said. There's so much effort when you don't have a good voice behind talking that in any time you you know, it's just constant. You don't realize how much because it's all you know, so you don't realize how much you're fucking fighting to get uh sound out of your body. And so I'm still doing that really hard, like I'm still slamming on the gas and like I don't need to like it just like comes out like it's just like there, it's not. I don't have to search for it. I don't have to dig for it and be like getting ready for this. And in terms of singing, like I'm not going to sing, but it is insane, Like I can sing every Olivia Rodrigo song at the at the you know, like what at the way she sings that I usually when I play it on guitar. I have to take it down like seven octaves. I'm not hitting you every tailor every single Yeah, I can hit adele notes like I can hit every note. There hasn't been a note I cannot hit yet, And I'm not kidding you. Before the first weekend you can talk, you're singing a well. I was just like, you know, gently to myself, like now I've been doing Pavarotti carry whistletone. I have so many questions. Can anyone benefit from the surgery? You think are just people who have had hemorrhaged chords? I mean I think anyone, But it's you know, it's unless you need it and want to like unless if you talk for a living, yes, yes, Like is it like a boat that collects barnacles and they just scraped the barnacles off like as HPV. They look like when you look at them on it's exactly that on you. When you look at courts on the screen, they look like a pair of jeans, like there's two sides to it, look like jeans, and like my original chords look like cargo pants that have a bunch of pockets stuffed with keys, and like rocks all the way down your action. Yes, and then we wait, what do I have pants? I have this weird memory of like, you know, stuff in my pants. What everyone's been dogging about it for a while. Well, like I have a lot of stuff in their pants. Yeah, like a guy that's like working as like backstage at a music festival, like how much crap, Like a guy that's like a roadie. That's his pants. And then my chords now look like skinny jeans. They look like they're going to like the Warp Tour in two thousand eight. They are perfectly perfect, like straight lines on each side, and so it's just and it looks like there was no surgery. There's no like scars, there's nothing, and they just look like like I was just gazing at them, like they're so straight, because before they were all like calloused and they looked like the Great Barrier Reef and now they look like the Great Barrier Reef now, which has nothing on it. But they don't use they don't use knives, right, just lasers, they do, Yeah, they do both. So they use lasers to fix all the hemorrhage. Yeah. Well they look like little raptors, like like there's these like little things that he would use that are millimeter there's I mean on the screen it was um uh, you know, magnified by like a hundred two hundred times. But they use these tiny little things. And then yeah, they pulled back the layers. They used to just cut off the lesions and now they dissect the skin, lift the first layer skin, go in and take out the damage and then put the skin back on top. And then that's why it has so long to um heal. But maybe there's like a cheaper version you can get if you don't have like there certainly is, but you might have a voice like Julie Andrews, which is no voice if you get that done. I mean that's the way they used to get this. Guy invented this surgery because they used to just cut them off. And so he invented this kind of surgery because um, in high school he got a job as he was like, uh, he like worked with leather, sewing leather, and he like used and he used he learned how to be ambidextrous, because this surgery is impossible to do unless you can use both your left and right hand the same way. So because he did that leather work in high school, he learned how to use both hands interdependently and and you know together and um. And so he was able to develop the surgery that you know, it's imperative that you are able to use. But so it's like, if you want to do the surgery, you got to learn how to use your left hand. Um. Yeah. So he learned how to do that in high school and then from that he's like, I should be a surgeon because I'm so his dad was a surgeon. So he went to school and he wanted to. He was an E N T. And then he was doing all cancer um surgeries, uh, like you know, just taking cancer off of people's throats and larynxes and all the things. And then he, yeah, he started working with singers and I think was just like, there's there's got to be another way. And then Julie Andrew's got her voice really left up by a doctor that kind of just went in and cut all the stuff up and then she couldn't sing anymore. And he it was one of his first you know, success stories, that he repaired her voice and she can't you know, sing like she used to, but she is able to work. And she's like eighty nine or something now and wow, your doctor repaired her botched surgery. My doctor reports every single singer that you know, and like, my doctor has touched and I can't say that. I can't tell you all the names. I'm not getting you. Going to his office is like walking into a planet. Hollywood's every single every single chord he is touched and Crocker. And the thing is, singers don't want to that they've had it done. What's his name? Crocker? Jim Crocker, isn't it there's croche um kind of saying that, um, what would you do? What was his name? I feel like that was his name, Joe Crocker, Crocker, Yeah, James Crocker. I don't know. Screaming you you all being singers. How do you feel when someone puts on the rasp, like it's not a real rasp? I feel like a fake rasp? Is that wasn't fake? His wasn't fake. He sounded like a trash can all the time. But I'm talking, you know, like someone that talks like this and then they start singing. They're like, we've talked about this on the show. Everyone does, and they have to choose how to like what they want to sound like, so everything's kind of put on in a in a way like no one even singings put on. I mean no one naturally like talks like that, like everything's put on. So I think that I guess the extra put on. Have you come across raspy singers? I did just watch Don't Look Back, which is so good the Bob Dylan documentary. Have you guys seen that? M hmm, I really liked you telling us about it on the Girl's Chat. Highly recommend. It never changes, it goes by so quickly he is this It's like that is kind of how he talks. I always thought it was a put on, but it's kind of Once you watch him speak and then he goes into his singing, you're like, it's not that different, and he's it's just such a wild He's so young and so like full of I don't know, like this weird energy, like he's fucking with everybody that all the journalists that come into his room. And then it just reminds me so much of Nikki on tour and just people pulling you in so many different directions, like hey, really quick in the green room, can you meet my five sons? They are really the real big fans, and you're going to come to our cabin next time you're in town, and just this whole rigor morrole you have to go through, I highly recommend you. I just want to tell everyone right now, I will never go to a second location with you after a show, no matter who you are. I love meeting everyone. I'm not kidding you. I love my fans. You guys are normal people. I would be friends with you if it was a different like we would be friends who hang out. I have. I enjoy our conversations when we do the meet and greets. I'm never gonna go stay at your house. And some of you are like, well, who would ask you to stay at their house? Who would ask you to go to dinner before the show with strangers? The venue owner or like the venue managers. So and you know what, it's so sweet because there are comedians that do do that because they're alcoholics and they need people to drink with. Okay, so you're probably like, well, Bert came over and drank with us before the show and after the show. Yeah, I slept on our couch for a year. Um, I'm never going to do that. And it's not because I'm think I'm better than you, or because I don't like you, or I don't think or I wouldn't do that normally, if I lived in Boston and we could be friends, I would. I just can't when I'm on the road and it's just not going to happen. So um uh you know, you know. The one time I'll do it is if my friends are going to get laid maybe from it, then I'll go and I'll go. I will go to support you, to go hang out with these girls. Will you open for me at the bar after the show for like five minutes? Like when I was on the road and it used to be like you were single and your meal and stuff, and I was. I would get sad when you guys wouldn't invite me because I'm like, I want to do you know this will help, Like I feel like these girls know that we're not we would sleep with them all. But as long as I have my friends with me, I will go. And as long as there's another purpose there besides me being like having to entertain lutely, I'll go. Um, but I'm not gonna go um to your favorite vegan cafe before the show. I don't have time. I usually here's how it goes. I usually fly in and about like three around then is like after a day of travel, we get in at like three, I have to start getting ready at five thirty, so by the time I get to my hotel it's usually four, and then I don't have time to go to your favorite smoothie place and get a vegan thing like. But it is sweet when you recommend stuff because we do order food every night from places. So if you do have recommendations for good vegan places near a venue, please send those. But some people are like, you gotta come to my cafe and sometimes it's like my barbecue joint, And I'm like, do you know me? Or did you watch one roast? And is it by the is it by the venue? You know it's six hours south of here. It's cool though, like it's a cool vibe. I'm sure you'll dig it. Yes, And I have like two friends I kind of know who you are, so they'd love to meet you, but know they don't like you at all, they hate you. But I think that if you met them in person, we could just funk with them a little bit. And also, this is another popular request that I don't know why people do it. I would never have guessed it was a normal thing. No more asking to make videos for your friend who didn't want to come where I where I ship talk him and go you motherfucker, you didn't come to the fucking show, You piece of ship, You pour piece of ship who had to work because you have a fucking daughter to support, Like you always want me to roast your friend who couldn't afford to come or who doesn't like me, And it's just I I was reading this New Yorker article about Shane Gillis and there's this one part where someone in it comes up to him and ask them to make a video for someone who didn't come to the show. And I was so envious of Shane because he just goes, no, I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna be mean, dear friend. And I always take the bathe and I always make the sucking video. And I know for a fact that person's like, why is she so mad at me? Because it's funny in theory that you are like for coming from you to your friend, this would be funny, but from your friend to your friend, from a person that they probably do like and just couldn't make the time or it wasn't important enough to spend the money. It's just like aggressive and I'll never get that person to like me again because it doesn't really it comes off like the tone is not right. There's no real left turn joke, just like it's one per meet and greet. People ask me to do this, and you think that you're a rose comedian. I think that's like where people are coming from there, Like, you know, people are going to think I'm such an asshole for saying all these things. Please still ask me to do funny videos for like people, and I'll just tell you, no, I'm not gonna be like you, dumb piece. I'm not gonna roast you in that moment. I'm just gonna say no. But I'm gonna start saying no a little bit more. You got to save these pipes. And with that, let's go to break and we'll be back with more Andrew round all day and night coming in, so welcome back to the show. We're talking about bizarre fan requests. Do you guys have any more trying to think like it's usually let's get fucked up. After the show, they come up to you and I think it's sad too, because I feel like they have a whole idea of like, I'm gonna go up to him, I'm gonna say I have weed and maybe cocaine, and we get some beers and like they probably thought about this maybe three days beforehand, to be like and then he'll come out, We're gonna have the best time ever. That's the kind of person he is. He loves to get after it after the show. And then I just see like a sadness sometimes in their face when they're like, oh, you don't want to yeah, fucking ruin your life tonight. Well they don't know you that well then too, because you don't I mean, I guess you do drink now, but you don't get like fucked. But there are stories where they're like, yeah, dude, remember when you fucking parbaty with Little John. Let's do that tonight. But instead of like going to a strip club and stuff, we'll just be at my house and we'll look at each other in the a and do blow. And I'm like, I'm good. I think I've gone to I've gone out with fans before. I mean, I've been doing this twenty years and so I have definitely ended up at people's apartments and been attacked by their dogs and had Yeah, this one girl's dog. Um, waitress at a comedy club in Tampa. Her dog attacked me in the face. Was terrible. Yeah, what he was like annoyed by me? Yeah, yeah, I mean it wasn't I wasn't like bleeding or anything, but it was because I narrowly dodged getting bit and she like pulled him back, but it was like it could have been a vicious attack, and I was like, oh God. And then and this was before Uber, you know, like this is two th five, six, seven eight. So I would just be stuck at these places and drunk and yeah, I used to hang out after shows and um, and then it got to be the point where I was a feature act, and I just felt like if I went out with these people, they would just tell me how good the headliner was. And I didn't want to be around that, so I didn't. There was a time where a window where I would have gone out with people, but I just didn't want to hear how much I sucked, and so I would avoid that. Really, so much of my life is avoiding any kind of criticism. The other day, Anya sent me a clip because I was asking for I need to post more clips on Instagram and everything, and I hate watching myself and so I was like, asked on the girls chat that I have with, um all the girls from Girls Trip. Um, you know all the girls from the movie Girl's Trip. Who else is in that movie? Jada Pinkett? Um? Oh she in that was she like a bitchy white assistant or something? Yeah, okay, she had a line that became a name you go girl or something like that, like just cheesy white woman saying girl girl. Um. But Anya and I was like, if you guys ever come across a clip of mine on YouTube that you think would be good on Instagram where you just like tell me the time stamp of it, so I know. And so Anya was like this one seven minutes and I go to look at it, and you know how, like usually on YouTube, if I'm watching something of mine, I put up my hand so I can't see any comments. I hide it, I cover the screen. Um. But on the way I didn't because it was a compilation. Yeah, I just like looking at my finger that doesn't have a ring on it yet, just like some Yeah, it had a million videos of the same video sent to us. Now I know of people, yeah, oh yeah, I've tried the string. But the problem is this ring. I have had a ring on my fingers over six months. Everyone, October six will be seven months or no, October eight will be seven months. Um. Since f Way Island season finale, that's the first time you will see it on my finger. Um at the elimination ceremony. Um. It won't come off. And I cannot do the string because it is has sharp edges on the side. It's like a and so that string catches on the edges. So that is I really don't mind it. It's a part of me now. I don't even want to get it off. I don't even don't even send me solutions. I don't care. Um. But I do have rings on my ring finger. I have several because it's my most delicate finger. It is. It fits the most rings. It's my favorite finger. It's the prettiest finger I have, and it's the only finger that fits a size I don't know, six or five or whatever. These most of the rings I have are these size and I think it's so rude finger use that finger and that men won't flir with me if I've got or you know what, they don't give a fuck. Men don't give a funk if you're in a relationship. I thought saying that I was in a relationship with like take away a certain amount of attention I get from male suitors. It doesn't, if anything, they come on stronger. It's like because they vailable. You could be eight months pregnant. The guys like, what are you doing? I don't know, having a baby in a week. Wild. I still stand by the fact that I can't really like post about my boyfriend because I'll lose followers because that's how weird men are. But knowing that they I have a boyfriend, they still don't give a fuck. And and you know, it's that is something that I actually Chris would probably not like me to here to say this, but I don't want to stop being desired by men just because I'm unavailable. You cannot suck me, but I hope you still try. It makes me feel pretty. I also really care Chris. Yeah, I mean that's how way I feel when people want to funk Chris, just people, groups of people, UM, I feel. But what was I saying about you were holding your hand up over them. So yeah, and then so I didn't do that on this one because it was a compilation, and so I thought it's like they'll talk about someone else or I just wasn't on alert. And of course the first fucking comment is I can't Uh, I would have led the best life if I never saw the second comic. And I'm like, who's this, who's that person? I'm like, oh, poor Roy Wood, And I'm like, nope, he's the first, Nikki is the second, and it's just like kire. But here's the problem, because I talked to Chris about it and he goes, that is such a lame thing to say. It's such a classic internet thing. It's almost like saying I don't like female comics, of being like, I could have got my whole life without seeing that because I was talking about my dog going down on me. It's a hilarious bit, and my especially the half hour or not the half hour, the stand up, it's one of them. It's one of my favorites, and it's all it's a layer. It's so funny and I stand by it and you can hear my old voice on that. Um. But Chris was like, it's just um, it's it's it's just the lamest internet comment. That's like saying like I can has cheeseburgers, Like, it's just like such a classic thing people, right, and it means nothing? And I go, the thing is it does mean so thing? Because what it does And this happens to me too, and I've talked about it before. When I watch a YouTube video and I see the first pinned thing, the most popular criticism of this, it affects how I view it. So I'm going to go straight to that second person and know this person I'm probably supposed to not like, and whether or not that makes me want to like them more, or whether it makes me it sets the tone for how people should feel about you. This is exactly why I am not partaking in um this thing I got asked to do because it involves like a lot of comics with a lot of fans that have already probably don't like me, And although so badly I want to be like accepted by those fans and want those fans to like me, I turned it down because I'm like, this is an opportunity for those those people that they're fans of to make fun of me and for them to set the tone of this is how we talk about Nikki Glazer, this is how this is how you're supposed to feel about her. And although we're all buddies, this is how we really feel. And it's just the be aware though, Like when don't you guys feel that you're affected by like comments on things. I look at comments on things to see how people are feeling and it and whether even though I'm a strong person and I know that I shouldn't be persuaded by stuff like that, it does. It does make you look at things differently. It ruins my life, like it depends on the comment. No, I mean like looking at when you watch an innocuous video and you read the comment, It doesn't that affect how you kind of view that video for sure, for sure. And I'll even watch something that I like and then read a comment and go, maybe I'm a fucking idiot, Like and you're smart, it's savvy, so it's happening to you. It is. I saw a movie last night and it made me realize how fucking dumb people are because I want alone to a movie. I'm not gonna say what movie I saw, but the people's enjoyment of this movie made me go, We're done. There's no bar. People are stupid. It's it's like laughing at like the most stupid. They were just enjoying things in a way that and thinking this movie is great in a way that I go, how when I'm not. I don't want to talk about it, but like, I'm just dumb that I'm just I'm so disappointed. I'm disappointed in my fellow man. And I it makes me either want to make movies and make TV too, because I always look at things like Veep or The Wire or Breaking Bad and I go, what's the point of me making TV? I can never I can say with a surety, I don't even know if that's the word. I will never make it something as good as Veep comedically ever and or thirty Rock. It's just out of my league. And yes that took it took a village to make those shows, but um but man, people just put out crap and then everyone just it. I just how could you make something? I don't know? I guess that holds me back from making art because I'm like, it can't be as good as that, So I won't make anything. Whereas some people just go, I just wanted to. Yeah. I feel like sometimes if I made something, it wouldn't be that bad, but it also wouldn't be that good, like that bad, So I'd be in the middle, which I hate the middle. So the middle, I'm in the middle with everything. And I'm like five nine and a half. I'm just a little bit overweight. I'm in my hands are just above small, like my cocks just above small. My breath is okay, my teeth that's actually middle. I want to be a fucking I don't know. I want to be either six nine or three four. I hate being a medium. I really do know. I am such a medium as well. And people go, no, Nikki, you've done all this stuff. It's because I just showed up more than you guys did. That's what I did. I was I don't like, wasn't working before, No, I wasn't. I just I mean, yeah, so it was um now I was enjoying it. Andrew, I like, you know, I know, I'm I'm busting chopped. Really. Yeah. I think something can be so bad it becomes extremely popular, and I don't know what that is. I don't know. There's a certain kind of bad that does very good, like watching like Hallmark movies, you know, like people like crap. And I understand that because I just go, oh, those people are just stupid. People can't smart enough to enjoy something like Veep. But there are people that are smart, that are smart enough to get Veep that also enjoy like I watched. I don't like to say because I work in the intraay, I don't like to say the things that I don't like. But man, it's just I'm watching rewatching Will and Grace right now. I show is so fucking funny and so well done. I'm rewatching UM. I watched the pilot of Frasier last night. I cried at that, not cried, but for me when I say cried, I've teared up at the end. Um. Yeah, the pilot it is. I recommended It's on Hulu. You guys. Well. This weekend I was at UM my friend Greg Warren's comedy special in Lexington, Kentucky, and he had one of his friends there, Mark Gross, who is a showrunner for UM sitcoms and or Sorry, head writer for a lot of sitcoms that you would know and love, and he was talking to me about developing something he's like, do you have any ideas you know what, And I'm like, I don't know, and he goes, I go, I was thinking about multi cam because multi cam is I never wanted. By the way, single cam is like, um, I don't know why I'm giving this example. Dahmer or veep, you know, that's single cam, and then multi cam is like Friends Frasier filmed in front of a live studio audience, a big bang theory. That's multi cam. And I never wanted to do multiicam because there's just so cheese c and they're not real, you know, they don't feel as real as um single cam. But then I realized that multi caams are so much easier to shoot because it's a live studio audience. You can't keep them for seven hours, so you get in. It's like doing a play you have, and it's good for stand up because it's interaction with the audience, so it's fun. And I'm like, oh, I would like, actually love to do on multiicam, So I'm starting to think about ideas for that. But I talked to him and I said, yeah, I actually have some ideas, and I think that as a life that I would want to do is being on a multi caam and so, and I've been watching Will and Grace again just naturally like kind of drawn to him, friends, Seinfeld everything, and he goes watch I was like, I gotta write a pilot though, and he goes watch the Frasier pilot. It's the perfect pilot. It's the and I so I watched it last night and god damn it is it? Ever? It made me? It's you. I bet you anything, you'll tear up. You should watch it and tell us tomorrow. I think you can probably read the script to that would help you. I feel like one is the right one. I will pull up an example and like, you know, try to match it as in terms of scene length and stuff like that. But I think I have an idea for one, and I think I really want to do one, because do it, it would be streamers and want with them now. And you don't have to be squeaky clean anymore, so you can be like, do a dirty show. I remember Louis did what was his show, Lucky Louie. Lucky Louie was was a multiicam that was dirty and which I really enjoyed. Jim Norton was so funny in that that one dude had always worked a seller who had Rick Shapiro was on it. Ye, dude, that dude was I just remember what he was monologue in it that. But that's what I kind of can see from my show maybe that you would maybe want to do something still like dark humor, but like awesome multicam and you're like even friends in Seinfeld, like I could do because it's so fun and like just and I never really thought about the studio audience and feeding off that. And that is why I've been like, I don't want to do TV because TV is so boring. You just wait around all day in a trailer and then you the scene. By the time you actually get the scene, it's like the last take and you're like, oh god, are they going to even use that one? It's just so then you need like a vision of like where's this scene going to take place? Oh, we gotta fucking lock down that whole boulevard or whatever. And then but if it's just like oh, and they don't give you feedback, like when you see they don't go that was amazing because they just think you're an actor who already knows you're amazing because most actors already do think they're amazing. But I'm someone who constantly needs validation, so having a studio audience would be incredible. I didn't even think about that. Maybe you could just have silent clappers on on set where it's like with golf, do you feel that way? Do you ever hit a shot and you're like someone, I'm so, I'm yes, I'm the word I When I would serve with my step friends, I'd catch a wave and then I'd ask everyone, people that didn't even know me, did you see that? Did you seem like you're such a fucking loser? I remember I had a hit in like in like middle school. I laid this guy out so good and no one said anything but one father. Yeah. One father was driving us home in football, and that was one of the best hits I've ever seen. I go, yeah, so what was the hit? Like what did it look like to you? And like I asked him like que and by the end of it, he's like, I can't I hate this kid. It's funny because you were aware at the time that that was obnoxious, yet you couldn't help yourself because you wouldn't remember unless you knew it was obnoxious because it comes down to my dad not giving me enough credit, and then if I got credit from an older man, any old man. But yeah, I'm horrible at that needing validation. I've gotten better, you know. I just do it because I liked the progression of it, rather than like the like a great job way to gonya. Do you seek that as a musician, I mean you have to wait for a whole song until the claps, and you get claps no matter what. You get claps if you're performing, but not at home struggling with a song. Like I've been working on a song this weekend and I'm just like, why do I do this? It is agony It is just send it to me and I'll go, this is amazing at you know, like I will when it's done. But the process is like it's so grueling. It's like for the first two days it's just like baby, baby, baby steps. Like I took a shitty idea already. I was like, now it's coming along, it's going to be good. But the shitty thing I wasn't asking you about that. It was hard. What do you do? Do you hum? First? Do you start with a chorus. I had an idea three months ago that I loved that I played with and I was like, that's just so baroque and weirdly classical. How can I make that into a song? And I just put it away and then what does that mean? What was the idea that made you go that's baroque? Like, I couldn't think of anything that. It just sounds very like it sounds old timy, It sounds like not like I like a lot of my songs have this, like okay, it's just like d D d D. It like sounds like that. It's like a melody like that, and but it results is that how so she has stuff like that that makes me yeah? But um. Then I had an idea and it's like kind of a wrap like a hip hoppy not a rap, but like in the sense that Fiona Apple sort of does rhythms like that. So I'm kind of doing a song like that, like my song shut Up, which is sort of like talkie singing. And then I had the idea to put in like the baroque thing fit right, and I was like, oh, that's great, that's great for the chorus, so kind of like leather tying those things together, like your surgeon leather and your vocal chords um, and now it's like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. But it took three days and I'm not done yet. I don't know that it could be a songwriter because of that. It's just I've been trying to write songs too, and it's just I get bored after two minutes and I feel accomplished at like writing one or coming up with one, and then I it takes too long, and comedy for me doesn't take long, and I just don't know if I can do it. Yeah. I mean, when you're writing jokes, you're not laboring over it, right, You're like, no, I just I'm putting it. I just say something in conversation that kind of makes you laugh harder than usual. And then I surreptitiously take out my phone and jot it down. And then a month later, I'm about to go on stage and I'm like, I want to do something new, and then I'll look at my note and it will say chopstick Fiesta and I'll go oh, and then I'll just walk on stage as I'm reading it. I'm walking on stage, and then I'll say something on stage and then it'll either work or won't, and then over the course of seven sets it will become something or it won't. But I will not look at it or think about it outside of those seven sets even once. Yeah, but they stay on my phone and then maybe a year later, I'll bring my chopstick fista and try it a different way to But it's not like intentional. It's never like I literally just like scrolling my foot, bring up my notes and just go and see where it lands and stop and go okay. So I'll do something from like months or years ago sometimes that um, it's just such a slow way of working. It's so um lazy. It's so lazy. And you do you feel like you are doing comedy in service to others, Like when someone comes up to you after a show and says, oh my god, that meant so much to me, Like that, like I finally feel like someone got me, or I feel less shame about X, Y or Z because you've talked about it. Is that part of why now I do that now? Where I'm like, oh, this is something that when people need to fucking know about this, this is important. But um, I think initially, No, you just do things that will people like me if I do this right, Yeah, I don't know. I did. I did shows all weekend. I didn't any joke that I do that's not about me. It seems to always really fail, like especially the first time I tell it, Like if it's about a subject, I just you ever write something You're like, this is funny, I know what? Yeah, Like it's just like for someone that talks about subjects like I'm talking about space, and like I had this whole idea about space and I'm like, in the middle of telling it, I go, I don't care about my opinion on this, like while I'm saying it out loud, even though I think it's funny. Yeah, that's true. I guess. I know I didn't say that out loud. Maybe I should say I don't care about Well, that was the whole I don't care about what I'm talking about, Just so you guys know, you know, I'm sorry. I'm listening to you guys talk about like your creative process and how it varies between the three of you, but like the type of work that you put into it. And then going back to what Nikki was saying about going to the movie theater and wondering, like, why is the audience liking this when it's so terrible? So I'm thinking, and I'm wondering maybe instead of looking at like how the audience ingests it, you look at like, well, what is TV and Hollywood putting out right now? Is it this like honest form of creativity or is it just like a formula that gets people acting like mechanical robots and reacting to it? Yeah, well, there that is a trick. It's like they tell you when to laugh, so you know, either with a laugh track in sitcoms or just the way you can say something. I can deliver a line and it does. If I do that, You're gonna laugh a little bit longer because I'm going and there's a bunch line, and so they can you can learn a cadence. I just it. I guess our our styles kind of fit like who we are. Like Anya is just much more like she will fold a towel and like set it down gently, like she's a slower person, So like you can do slower things that take time, like you. I could see you like baking too, and enjoying that process of like a slow process whereas I'm like, why would anyone ever bake anything? It's so all the ingredients in the box, right, I mean when I smoked weed, I would I would always just smoke out of a pipe. When people would roll joints, I'm like, that's like the oven of weed. I'm going to use the microwave. What are you doing? I didn't use an oven until I was like thirty two years old. Yeah, I'm not even kidding. Maybe maybe later, right, I mean, I agree with you. I never used an oven. I just don't like. I don't like taking a long time. And I think that's why I like comedy. It's just right away it's funny, Like I know something funny right away, because the only reason it ends up in my notebook is because it already got a laugh. It wasn't. And I think that's the difference between you writing about space is being like, think I have an idea here, Like it didn't get a laugh Initially you were just it was in your head being like this could be funny, as opposed to Oh, I said this to Brenna and she laughed, and then I'm now I'm going to make something of it. So I already know it's a win, yeah, I think. And the initial thing was funny. I did say it out loud, and then when I started to like expand on it and like write about it and like compare it to something else, then it just became like an analogy kind of joke, or you try to become another comedian. I don't do that all the time, where I'm like, how would like Sam Morrill tell this joke? Or like I'm watching a lot of Mark Norman, so I'm like, oh, well, that would be like if I took a toothbrush and I stuck it up my ass. And then it's like, well, that's not the way I talk comedy, but I also think that is the way. Not sorry about that. Um. I was just saying everyone has influences, and I swear every artist that thinks they're ripping someone off they really aren't. Like often Matt, my partner will be like, is this a total rip off of whatever? Said? Partner? Because you're older and you don't want to say fiance or boyfriend gay because partner, I gotta say, we gotta quit partner unless you're gay. No, I think that's data, Nick, No, I don't. It's sending the when I hear someone say, if people don't know who you are and you say partner, I'm gonna assume gay. Baby. I was with you in two thousand and ten, but now I have to say no because everybody is partnered. But why don't you boyfriend? I don't know. I can if I want, but I feel too old to say boyfriend. And okay, so I'm saying it's an old thing. It's about feeling like you feel ridiculous. But yeah, I'm not trying to be don't I'm a everyone I hate partner about but I just love her. I love lover if you're trying to be funny like lover is like your but partner unless you're working on a law firm, or you're gay like that is a way to tell people that you're or say boyfriend if you're her girlfriend. If you get like But when you hear what I think, I think it just confuses people because then they go, oh, she's avoiding saying that she's gay. But she's gay. I know, But I think is that as this I'm with you, I don't even like partner? What when she's other things that make me think you're gay? Sorry, I'm wrecking. My boyfriend will often try to imitate or he'll be like, I'm I got influenced by such and such band. Is this a total rip off of let's say, wise Blood or something. And I'm like, I can't hear that influence at all because it's coming through your voice and your guitar. So just go with it. So I think if you think you're imitating Mark Norman, I bet the results would be great and not a rip off at all. And I do think it's a good thing to do and that you shouldn't avoid ripping off someone because as long as you're not actually stealing their joke, it will take you in a different direction, like you know, get you out of your the way that you do every single joke that you do, not you but like anyone, all right, we gotta go to break. We'll come back with more with my partners. Anya and Andrew appreciate it, and we're back. Um, can we do a little bit of news any or Noah? Sure? Anya, you guys both have allows with at the end. Andrew, Okay, let's go through the knees quickly. He said, Ah, you didn sayre alright, it's the news. Welcome to the news. I'm Andrew Colin and it's you know what that means. It's Monday. Hope you having all this well? Back to you and Nyaya. Okay, did you guys know that when you're stressed, a dog detects the chemical changes in your body through your breath, and then the dog reflects your state of mind. So dogs experience and emotional contagion and mirror or reflect their owner's state of mind. It's so true. Sometimes if I'm seeking Luigi's attention infection, I will mimic being distressed, because whenever I'm crying or on the verge of tears, he always kind of like gets out of bed and looks at me like even if I'm just like if I just go like, he'll he'll sense it. So sometimes to get his affection, I will seems stressed, and I'm stressed all the time, so I'm sure he's like, you know, it's it's just it's hard to react to something that's constantly so they're not The study found that they're not really reading your body language. But when we're stressed, there's some kind of chemical um that's excreted in our breath, and the dogs smell that well, that's what I'm saying. I feel like he can smell it from across the room. Like might change because I I know that like dogs can they there? I read about their smell this morning and reading this, they have We have um six million whatever receptors on our nose and they have three million. And they can smell a droplet of a substance in twenty Olympic sized swimming pools one droplet, whereas we could not, you know so, And they also their noses. When we smell something, air also comes in at the same time we smell, but they block off in their nose. Air and smell come from different places. So they're sucking in air in one hole and then it blocks it off and they get a roman another. And when we breathe out, it's pushing all the air and the smell out, whereas when they breathe out, it's circulating more back in. So they I mean, it's insane. We don't even understand certain senses on. Certain animals are so much better than humans, yet they can't dominate them. Yeah, we dominate them, and they can't like write a speech, you know what I mean. Brains are made of peanuts, but their noses are unbelievable, twitching around. They're like your tongue. Can you imagine your morning breath to a dog? A dog has to be like I fucking hate you said dogs hate? No, they love stink sense jokes. Oh yeah, yeah, that was in that same set I think where I said that when you fart, it's like giving your dog an air treat. I don't think I ever said it because it gross people so much, but yeah, maybe that was. So a dog likes to smell of ship because they go into ship a lot. Well, yeah, it masks their own sense, so it's good for their survival. They don't want to be skilled by other predators. My dog will she sometimes when I'll start crying, I'm like really ramping it up for because I just I know she likes licking the tears off my face. And yesterday I just let her go to town and like my entire face because I did wash her face immediately immediately. And also I think she gets jealous. And can they say that dogs can smell your pheromones? Because the second Matt will hug me or kiss me in the kitchen, like she just shoves her nose right into my pussy or my button. It's so weird depending on I'm like, I'm getting, I'm getting I'm getting double double trouble there. My ain is opens when Yeah, it is weird when you have when you copulate in front of your dog. Know when to break up with Matt when she doesn't run up to your vagina because you're gonna know that you don't feel the same way. Yeah, he's going to be like, do you not love me anymore? Do I not pling you on any smell? Yeah? Apparently dogs hate our like they really resent us for deodorant and perfumes and just define Yeah, so you're really I mean this weekend on the Girl's Chat, I was horrified by a thread of things that got revealed about dogs. Can you just no, no no. My friends, her dog ate her poop this weekend because she had to poop in her yard because she was locked out of a house, and then her dog ate her ship, And I have to say that if my dog ate my I have no problem with pooping in the yard. All that checks out. She had no other option. She was in like Colorado in the sucking Boonies, and she was locked out of her parents house that had this coat on it, so she had to poop in the yard. The dogs ate the poop. I would say though that I would have to. I would probably not interact with Luigi for a month after that if I knew he gobbled my ship because you're too turned on. Yeah, I couldn't morny. I would be jealous talk about how did she like lighthearted about it and mean like, oh, that's so funny. And I was seriously like, you need to put that dog downe depending on your diet, do it or not. Of course they would do it, but I don't. I would not keep that dog in my house afterwards. I don't know what I's not going to be. You're not going to be in your house? What? I just don't want his ship mouth that, like, you haven't the teeth with What if you're sitting in your front yard you don't have a dog, but you'll still make out with your boyfriend. My boyfriend does not do that. I'm just okay, well, I'm saying would not. Absolutely would not. But I said the chat was just like that's hilarious. Oh you're like anti shaming? What is this? Like? I thought you were not into people shaming themselves so I let my dog eat my poop when I was eight. That's different, but that that's different because you were eight, But don't understand being an adult woman that her dog ate her ship. And then like I wonder if she even let her dog back in the car with her or like, well, she was horrified. She was like, I'm disgusted with this dog. I was horrified. She tried to get rid of it, and then I think he went for more. She was like, what are you doing? Like she she was in dire straits, and she goes, what did he eat? Popcorn? What was in there? Right? She probab dog food? What do you think? She really tested my boundaries of like I I when my dog eat like my dogs. First of all, I've never seen my dog eat ship. They sniff it, but I've never seen and I know that's a normal thing for dogs to do. I don't think my dogs are better than your dogs, but my dog don't eat ship. I've never had a dog that eat ship. I've never seen it happen. I do know that they smell other dogsh it, and I do not allow them to because I heard that their nose can suck up worms and that's a wave if it was yours, they would in a second they love you. Um, they would smell it and maybe trying to lick it or something. But I've never seen them try to eat ship. I have to say, Like, and sometimes I've been on my phone and haven't been paying attention and they're sniffing a place for a while. They don't go to eat the ship. All I know is when it happened to me, I was shocked to Yeah, I wonder if it tastes like caviare to them, Like it's like human shit, Like it must be delicious to them. I have no there's no judgment on them doing it. I'm just saying I would have a hard time letting that dog back in my own Yeah, I really would. Um, it would all right be several days, okay several. Taylor Swift says her new song anti Hero confronts the things I Hate about myself and the latest Midnight's Mayhem with Me post. Swift said that she struggles a lot with the idea that life has become unmag unmanageably sized, and says that she struggles with the idea of not feeling like a person I know I would I would feel that it's nice to hear that she struggles like we all do. And she even said in this thing. So she's been doing this thing ahead of her release of Midnights, which is coming October twenty one. I believe that she's been doing this thing every couple of days where she um spins this like um little cage of all these little ping pong balls and they each have a track number on it, and then she reveals the name of the track, the name of the song, and to Swifties, this is a huge deal just to know the name of a song, because we just get excited about this dumb ship. And then last night for the first time, she did track three and it was called anti Hero. And then she put on a real on Instagram that was this an interview she did about the song and to Hero and it's about all of her insecurities and how yeah, what what you know? Noah just said it was hard to hear her say what I hate about myself because I was just like, really, I mean, I can't wait for the song to find out, but um, I'm I'm surprised. I'm glad she's putting it out there because I think everyone, no matter how perfect they are, does hate things about themselves, And also I feel like when you get to a certain level, you're not supposed to say you hate anything about yourself, even if you do, because you're setting an example for young women not to hate themselves. And I have always said fuck that, So I'm glad to hear that. Um. But I also I like how like kind of just she's usually so poised and every word that she picks is already pre written, Like we've heard her do the n y U speech, We've heard her give like kind of acceptance speeches for different awards recently, and it's all been very scripted. So it's nice to see this little interview with her where she was kind of just like shooting from the hip. You could tell she was kind of just like, I don't know, it's just I really liked the song and it's very honest, and I'm like, oh my god, if you're saying this song is honest, what are we going to get. I'm so excited about this album. It's all songs that she wrote in the middle of the night when she couldn't sleep on you. Have you ever written a song in the middle of the night when you can't sleep, like woken up and been like, I have to get this song out. Oh I wish I've had song ideas come to me and dreams and I'll record them into a voice memo. It's been a while since I've done that, like a year and a half. But no, I've never written a song fully in my sleep. I have written one song called go to Bed, went out of an insomnia moment that's actually in the middle of the night. But that's exciting. Do you think her her saying that she's human like the rest of us and struggling is also premeditated because she's such a savvy businesswoman, or do you everything she does she knows what she's doing. But this felt very casual to me. The way she was talking felt like she was doing almost like a podcast, like she didn't really know where the sentence was going to go, and she was choosing great words because she's just amazing and smart. But um, I really liked that she said, um what was the part that was my favorite? Oh, I was just gonna say it. She said, um, my life has become um, yeah, unmanageably sized, instead of being like bragging, being like it's so big. Oh, At one point, she goes and by the way, don't feel sorry for me, please. It's not like when I went like, don't please, no pity, like she didn't want anyone. She needed to say that too, because she's like to hear someone complain about like I hate my life when your Taylor Swift, it's it's hard to hear this like for even saying that, like of being like oh, like giving like a like a disclosure before like I know this is gonna you know what I mean. But she did it though. If you watch it, it's so masterfully done. You can't be mad at her. She's just adorable. She's sweet. Um. I cannot wait for this album. I am resentful of how much she puts out and how constantly she is working and writing, and I'm just so I just can't believe. I know, I wonder does she have time for a relationship. I think so. She seems happy. I think she. I would love to see a day in her life, like how she manages a day off. I mean, that's the stuff. That's why I want to be friends with her. I just want to see how she manages her life. And she bakes a lot, I know, and like cooking and stuff, and she's just like like decorating and she's taught, but she's not doing a million podcast she's not doing there's a lot of things she's not doing where she probably has a decent amount of time for I went through three weeks without doing any podcast or doing anything, and I did not write an area song or a joke or anything. I mean, it was just like with a free time. I do not like free time. And I was stand by that the rest of my life. I just got three weeks of it, and I did not like it so much. Reading and you seem to be doing a lot of stuff like you're enjoying everything. Oh, and you wanted to be off your device. No, I mean like I never like sit in a chair with an overhead light over my book. It's it's me in bed, bundled and sixty two degree like my air conditioning blasting me, bundled over the covers in the dark at three o'clock in the afternoon, when it is beautiful, like seventy seven degrees, gorgeous day, the nicest day of the year, and I'm in my room in the dark with the blackout curtains drawn, reading a book. About, you know, because relatively comfortable except for the content. Yeah, well, I don't know, or like I'm on Reddit, which you know might seem stupid, but I'm usually reading about interesting things that I care about. So I don't know. Because anything that feels good or feels like the act of someone who's depressed feels guilty. You know, like if you're not enjoying the weather, you are a bad person. It's the nicest week of a year and you're inside. What the funk is wrong with you? Don't you understand it? What do you do when you have nothing to do? I know you golf, but like, what do you do if there's no golfing and you you just have the afternoon and there's no podcast to do, there's no cleaning to be done, there's no cooking to be done, there's no meal prep. What the funk do you guys do? There's always something like what what what do you do? Andrew? I did buy a book. I bought a book. I started reading it. It's the Life of Leonardo da Vinci. What made you do that? I went to a bookstore and I felt like, I don't know, I missed the feeling of a book in my hand. But what made you choose that book? Um, because I read this guy I forget the name of the author, but he wrote to Steve Jobs biography. Oh yeah, Walter Isaacson Wilson. And I really enjoyed that. And I really like Leonard eventually for the first seventy pages and then it starts getting into the technical things of how he paints, and then and then you start having to reread everything. I just like, give me a simple story that he went to the farm and then he moved to the big city and the big city was scary for Leonardo, but he started drawing with Penn and then and that's good for me. And I'm like, I know the story of Leonardo eventually. I don't need to know, Like you could tell it's Leonardo by the landscape of the cloud and how I have tried to keep John Steinbeck's East of Eden so many fucking times because on the reddit subreddit books, it's always listed as the number one best book of all time, Like people love. What's so hard I have to hear about the fucking geography of the uh, you know, northern California valley and the escapes and the mountains and the aslands and the wet lands and the deltas and the it goes on. So I cannot get past the first three pages because I'm so I don't want to hear about clouds. I don't need to describing I stand a description of the topography in a fucking book. I don't want to hear about what the shingles on the roof look like. I don't want to hear about what the the sconces or the the gate like. If you're describing a scene, just tell me the type of house, tell me the type of neighborhood, and get on with the fucking story. By the way, make your books three chapters. I don't need in the first four pages, and you got me hooked chapter seven there, like we need the eighty thousand words or we're not paying you. I am tired of people recommending books that make them seem smart. Stop it. Just tell me what you actually like to read, which is something that actually was written recently and does not describe a bucolic field or like Sea Escape. I'm so tired every book reads like The Old Man in the Sea, and I know that's book to read. That's actually an easy book to read. I've read that one that wasn't actually easy final thoughts. You could do that one catches the fish. Um, let's do a quick with top one bottom one. Um, this category today is old technology old technology top one, bottom one. Let's start with bottom worst old technology. Andrew right, I thought we were gonna start. Okay, uh, you go first. Sorry, old technology speaking spell. Yes, that was a boring thing, but it was kind of like the you don't like it. I don't know. I couldn't think of when it was cool for the time. But they could have done better, couldn't they have. I mean, it's just a little boring and it took forever, but it was red. I like the handle on it though, that you could walk around with it and yeah, you're typing things in and I went on it was pretty much like my robot voice. Yeah, um noah, your least favorite. Um the palm Pilot. You guys remember that, oh pilot? I never had sideways? Did that open sideways? Know? That one was that was cool though the we the palm Pilot had a pen. It was for like people. I thought they were doing business. It was so do their best. Um worre a sound of someone typing on a palm pilot. A palm pilot with your mouth. That's good. That was not it sounds like a typewriter. Here's one. It sounds like a mouse. Eat a little mouse. The mouse was in law of smelling another mouse. Okay, vile. I never used them, but um they were recently like became extinct. I think just recently. It was like the last palm vilet or not palm vilet um BlackBerry is the one. I was thinking, my uncle Dennistar is a little clickier. Uh that maybe that's what I was doing, the impression of um that makes sense. Now. Um my least favorite old technology because I googled old technology just to same list, and this is what I learned about just now, and it is by far the worst. It's called the bathing machine. The bathing machine was a device popular from the eighteenth century until the early twentieth century. It would allow people to change into their swimwear while on the beach. So women would go in, they would take off their petticoats and their dresses and everything, and then they would change into their swimwear, which was essentially like a onesie, a giant onesie, still very covered up, and then because it was so embared, seemed to like walk into the water. The thing would then this big, you know, outhouse type thing would be rolled into the sea and then you would get out of it in the sea, and then it would come back onto them. Just all because about um to hide women's bodies and men were allowed to swim nude and women had to get in this funny bathing machine they needed like a submarine essentially. Yeah, I mean how much would something like that cost back then? You'd pay that seems extremely expensive. Well, it was like every beach had one. Beaches were very crowded back in it, especially like in the Northeast and stuff. Yeah, they're like thousands of people on the beach because it was like hot, no a c there was nothing to do. Yeah, there was no TikTok. I love that. I love when you when one time when I was at Daniel Boone's home, like touring it with my parents on some kind of road trip. The one was like, well Daniel Boone didn't have Nintendo, now did he? He didn't have TV. So she went through every technology he didn't have to really like drive it home. We were like, okay, we get it. Well again, I did a I did a report on Daniel. That's a weird Daniel Boone, like where you remember you pretend to be Did you ever have to do something where you have to be frozen all day? As that so that my uncle made me like frozen, and no I did. I had to wear one of those the raccoon hats or whatever. That's cool, And I was a Daniel Boon for a day. Should you were frozen? Didn't fight in Texas? Yeah, you just had to stayd He was a frontiersman, I believe. I don't really remember. I know we didn't play to Nintendo my bottom one. I know it's at the time it was great, but it wasn't that. The tape player, I guess at the time was great, but now like VCR, no like tapes like yeah, I just I just remember so cute now how like um, Because I didn't take care of my things, I wouldn't put it the tape, the ship would always come out and I have to rewind it in with a pencil and I never did it well, and then the music wouldn't sound good. And then you have to go through fifteen songs to find one song because it didn't tell you figure out where you were in a tape. Yeah, but you know what I do like about a tape player. I do like I missed the sound of plastic closing like that, like that just that like she is working or like even I'm a multiple disc player, like an old CD player that would do like five and be like eem it was so good. And remember when you go remember when we go into the old theaters and they have those like I mean that's before our time, but like you have to be really strong to like work in electronics and everything like was like you're like the big metal like like bars like projector pluck with the lights and everything. You were seen that in the back of the theaters, like the old school things that teenager press and play. That's what it was. Are you talking about like for theatrical productions or for films theatrical productions? Oh yeah, he's talking about like lights and the whole just like every sounds yeah too, everything's quiet now, everything silent. I do like keyboard sounds out satisfying. Top one, Top one. I want to switch my answers now. I think speaking spell was the top thing ever and my worst thing has disposable cameras. But I can't decide if I'm not. I love the wine, the sound of the wind, and the sound of the when you would turn on the flash and go like like a hyper sound that your dog can be here. So good at these things. I forgot about that. And the click when you hit the thing it's like and then you would only you would see it, like the number, or when you didn't when you had like four left, but that last sometimes you would be like, do I have one lad? And then you would know what it wouldn't stop binding and like walgreens. And then a week later you had your memories and a envelope and it was about three good pictures and the rest were just nightmare, just like like you were taking pictures of space. It was trying to take a photo of the moon now with our phones. Oh my god. Yes, um, yeah, I got nostalgic for it because I saw a picture of Kate Moss and Pete Doherty or Dockerty or however you say his name from the Libertines and they were walking around like fifteen years ago and she's clutching a packet of cigarettes and a digital camera or a disposable camera nineties, and it was probably twenty five years ago. Yeah right, yeah, I know everything we have to you have to update all of Like I recently realized I had to update my like ten years ago. I need to just go it's it's probably fifteen and now my fifteen is now twenty about every so often you've got to make that updates. Angry is when people go, do you know that nineteen was closer than nineteen eighty than we are now? And I'm like, fuck you, dude, I don't because it does tomorrow. I know. I know. That really bothers me too. I thought you were going to say, like who cares? But the thing is really significant is closed like Woodstock was closer to nineteen, Like there's things that like nineteen sixty nine was closer to today would be to nineteen. So whatever, Yeah, obviously whatever, whatever forty years. That's the point is in nineties, you would look at the sixties like whoa way back then, But now the nineties are what the sixties were to that time to us, and it's like, oh my god, the sixties and the nineties was like a century ago, and now the nineties to us. About World War Two in the nineties that would be about like kids learning about the first Iraqi War. Now like that's how that's fucking weird. Anyways, al Right, my number one thing is the high school or middle school or you know whatever school um projector screen they'd roll that out that lights would come down. I would get a s MR. I would almost fall asleep every single time. I would be having to fight sleeping the entire time. But then the pens would come out, and sometimes the pens would be terrible. But when there's a fresh batch of pens, and the way they would write on that thing, and the way that you could watch your teacher's handwriting, which was very exciting. There's just something so soothing about that. I miss it so much. And yeah, that was my probably favorite technology a lot of times when that came out. That's probably going to be a substitute teacher. And you know, you don't have to fight, can listen to really do anything. Yeah, because they can't call on you in the dark. It's like you're protected in the dark. No one's going to bully you in the dark, Like it's it's you in your room when it's seventy degrees when you would get dark in the room, and then the projector and then the sound of the pens. It was all very a smr chalk to I love choco. Though I was a lefty, I'd get chalk on my hand, you know. I just make you a gymnast. Yeah, it's like a little gymnast that never quit. My top one would be, Um, I think home phone when we just had home phones, because then you could get away. You could just say hey, I wasn't home, Like sorry, I couldn't like there was the easiest excuse ever to get out of anything. But if you I was thinking about that, you wouldn't give up. How convenient it is to get in touch with someone now for the ability to not to dodge someone, and there was answering machine. I was also thinking, I did more stalkers drive by your house to check to see if you're a home Yes, but they can find you now pretty easy too, because everything's so connected. So what's scarier the fact that they could get to you now because your locations everywhere, or back then when they could just drive your house, you know what I mean, or when they had to drive by where they had to drive they can just happen to your ring camera. Um, no ah, real quick, what's your favorite. My favorite is actually uh Andrew's bottom, which is the tape recorder the like, especially when it became portable, because my friend and I we would take that thing everywhere and we would record these like documentaries, and then every year we would go back and listen to them and like, hear how tiny our voices sounded, and just remember conspiracies from school, or we would pretend to do talk shows on them and stuff. So your Wow, yeah, you were a podcasting broadcaster. Oh my god, do you have those sense? You gotta play him? I mean I have, but I don't have a tape player. Can't find a tape player anywhere. Um. My favorite toy as a kid, it reminded me of that was the yak back and you could talk into it and then it would do it backwards and you could learn how to say things backwards, and then you would say it backwards and then play backwards and it would sound I still know how to say my name backwards or as lag e can or as lag egan or leg become a millionaire? You think that ya back? No, because they're not still around. Yeah, what a weird invention. They were awesome. I'm sure there's some kind of app that does the same thing. But they were so fund of the signing off know, because you would have It's it's not just like reading them backwards, you know. It's like the sound anywhere and yeah, wait is an yours? I just made it up. It sounds like that sounds pretty close. I think there's someone that can actually app nidlock. We're because Colin. If you're taking Collin, it would be that's how you say it backwards, if you're reading it backwards. But the sound is a lot different than what you would be reading because rez Lag is not it was LaGG Agan, it was something. It sounds like an alien talking. It's so weird. All right, we gotta go. Thank you guys for listening to the show. We'll be back tomorrow with more show. We're back, Baby, we're back. Thank you so much, Annia for being here. Uh, don't be cool. And Jack, you're doing Jack backwards, Jack back
