The Nikki Gliser podcast.

Here's Nikki here.

I am hello, it's Nikki. What a little bop that is that that Anya wrote?

I don't appreciate it enough.

What a do you do?

What a genius she is?

I appreciate it.

Yeah, Taylor's here, Brian's here, Noah's here.

What's up?

Everyone?

Welcome to the show. Yeah, Anya just like busts out. She she's in the songwriting group, so she writes songs every single week.

They get like a prompt we should do it for.

For comedians, Brian, where you have like a word or two and you have to write a joke around it.

I used to do that back in the day, and it's just it doesn't work. It's not productive. I used to call it the five by five And there was some pretty pretty good names in this five by five group.

Okay, and.

Let me let's name some names. This is like the Epstein list.

Bill Clinton.

Released yea and Vid Copperfield's talking about him being on that list.

I know, disappear. Yeah, that same joke opposite in.

I didn't make the joke because I've made it so many times. Every time it comes up, I go, oh, it must not be that good. You can't make.

I thought I was clever, but no, though Michelle Wolfe was on the five by five Alice Wetterland from Silicon Valley Matt Coff, who is a writer for The Daily Show.

For these are great names, Michelle wolf can I just bookmark really quick and just slide in and say she was the first person I ever knew who had to quit froyo.

Because I have a Froyo is an addiction.

Anya has been addicted to it before I've been addicted to it. It's been like the only thing I eat all day. I'll eat it for every meal, Like I've gone through stages in my life where it's the only thing. And she was the first person who we used to Michelle and I used to go get froyo together. That was like our thing. And she was the first person to be like, oh, yeah, I don't I don't eat that anymore. And I was just like wait what. She's like, well, we can go do something else. But I was like, how, what do you mean you don't eat anymore? Like this is it's twelve hands wait, sixteen handles. Yeah, that was the name of the place in New York, sixteen Handles that was our thing, but she quit it and I really respected that, and I.

Also respect.

As you think it is no it.

It is in moderation, but if you're eating it constantly and it's all you eat it, it's it can be like you know, lowly caloric, but it's not good for you to only eat that.

Do you remember the topics you put on it? Do you have?

Like I just like sprinkles and rice crispies and coconut would be my ideal, But if I was trying to be anorexic, it would be rice crispies and then sprinkles.

I got really into.

But then you get obsessed with the sugar and you go, I can't have any sugar and there's no like sugar free sprinkles. It's all it's yeah, it's it's not good. Now I avoid I don't crave fro you.

Like I used to. But it used to be. Oh, remember I'm not safe.

Like that's when you know you have an eating disorder when everyone knows about it and everyone like everyone is just operating around it and everyone normalizes it. Like no one's like, Nikki, this is.

All you eat.

They're like, go get your time again, because I was the boss on that show, so everyone sure, I'm sure everyone's whispering about like this is not normal, but like it was just it was just so.

It was like Nikki, you go get your meat balls. I think I'd be a little more embarrassing.

Or your one carrot or something that was saddening.

That one's hard to do, the carrot one when you're not eating that one's hard to like operate with and like have a full life to like get away with not eating around people.

But yeah, when you when you can lean into it, like.

I'm just a froio. And I remember I remember Tim Convey, Chris's brother, made a joke that the size contained that I get for froyo is like if you flipped it over, it would be like what like lion tamers.

That's what I was gonna say with a bearwood.

Damn shit it was. And I remember I cried secretly to Chris about it, being like to made a joke about my froyo, and like Chris was like, why are you crying? Like we always make jokes about your froyo. But it's like he didn't know the under like all of the bullshit underneath all the shame of like this is the only thing I eat and like it. It just sucks when you're thing that you are addicted to that's ruining your life. No one notices it because it's like a big joke or whatever, you know, like it's just so and you do it to yourself. It's no one else's fault. But you don't really do it yourself because there's no free will. But go back to your the.

Joke group taking the bookmark out yeaokmark.

Yeah.

So it's called five by five because we would do five jokes every week. I don't remember if it was every week or every day, but that's why it's called five by Oh five jokes every day for five days a week, so Monday through Friday.

Oh that's a lot though.

It could just be premises.

It could and then we toss things out and we'd all reply to each other and discuss like, oh, that premise is really good, or here's a text is it a text chain? It was email? Oh, okay, an email, and it was I don't think it got you thinking about jokes. But other than that, I don't think it really helped anybody all that much. It was just like, oh, I gotta do the five by five, and then you would just poop out some shit joke like what if dogs could talk?

And it's just like that be good at it. I think I would.

I think I would operate well in this. I think I want to do the five by five.

I think I'm gonna So who would be in your five by five?

Which I think you are like people who I'm not embarrassed to be unfunny around, because that's the thing is, you're going to be in funny. But I also want people who I respect comedically, who I know respect me, and so I have to keep that respect up. Like I learned yesterday my voice lesson. I was playing this new song that I'm working on and he was like, this is really interesting, Like he was like laughing at the lyrics. He was just he's always bowled over by like the songs I bring in because he's just like, what is she saying in this one? Like Taylor Swift lyrics. I'll just be like, wait, what are we talking about? So the song I did was by the Mountain Goats and I love it. It's called No Children. Have you ever heard it? It's just like this really upbeat song, but it's really about a couple like breaking up and how they want to stay together, but they're also like they hate each other and it's just but it's all done. I love the paradox of like a happy song and it's so dark, and so the chorus is like I hope you die. I hope we both die, and it's just all about just hoping the person dies but also wanting to stay with them and like I hope we I hope we hang on past the last exit. I hope it's already too late. So it's like I hope we hang on, but I also hope, like we're doomed and it's starty too late.

So it's just this juxtaposition.

Anyway, I sing the whole song and he goes, He's just like, oh, every time you sing, like I went through it two times, and he goes, every time you play it, like I keep hearing new things. This is this song is bonkers, and so he's like, I need to record this. So he's like, I want to record you. He was like, I gotta play this for Angela, his wife.

Later it's like I gotta play this for a Laric. She's gonna love these lyrics. This is crazy.

So he records it and then suddenly I'm like, really much better, like because he's recording it, and then he goes, then I kind of fucked up, But then I go, can we do it again? I record it again and it's even better, and then I fuck and I go, let me try to get one more time, and he at the end of it, he's like, I think I just stumbled onto something with you. When you are forced to perform and like it's going to be record, you step it up more so than just in front of me. And I was like, Yeah, I think that that needs to I need to implement that more in my life to have results of like the pressure, which you know is not a new concept whatsoever, but that's I think the five by five might work for me.

Can I add an idea to five by five?

Yeah?

Why don't you guys give yourself an end date so that no one feels guilty about dropping out and more people want to participate because there's.

A dry catuary or something you do like February.

I kind of like the idea of if you don't do it, then you're out of the group. That's what Anya's group is like. If she doesn't turn in a song, you get kicked out. I'm sure there's ever not forever, but like you got to really earn your way back in and be like, I'm really gonna stick with this because it's not this isn't just everyone has to that keeps it honest.

So that you have to turn in crap if crap is all you have, that's the.

Whole point of it. Yes, you don't do it then.

And there's an excuse for turning in crap because you're like, I had to turn in something or else I get kicked in the group.

So you have like a little fallback.

So I kind of like that idea of like you can miss two weeks or whatever it is, but then you're out. I kind of like that maybe yeah, but also having a being able.

To but a song is so much harder. I mean I could think of a thousand jokes a day and just.

To come up with that.

Oh yeah. I mean they might not be good, but I think.

I think songwriters if I was trying to Conny Taylor is okay.

Look in my notebook, I write, I have a note Will you give me such a media?

I'm not just why.

What are you doing.

What do they pitch you joke?

I say it, Yeah, you just like write you go, I think you can make a joke about this, and then like I would pay you for that stuff.

Okay, I get out my dictionary.

Yeah, you gotta do. You should pitch me some jokes on the podcast.

I'll bring it.

That would be so fun. Yeah, because I would love something.

I just sometimes I don't think how much one thousand is.

I mean, that is so.

Okay, that's obviously I.

Think.

Yeah, the joke is.

I'm a wire was just being exaggerated a hundred.

I could do it.

I could see they might be stupid, and then I wouldn't have for the next day.

I think it's similar.

The only thing about jokes is that songs have to have a verse chorus like sometimes pree chorus bridge, like it just has so many parts to it.

Yeah, I mean, I guess you can write a little jingle.

He can write jack.

But I asked Anya, like, do you have to turn in? Do you have to turn in like a whole song, And she was like, no, sometimes my song's only two minute songs. I don't really know what that means, but like sometimes she writes shorter songs.

Good songs are only two minutes. Yeah, I mean Eric Clapton really is the master of that?

What Jimmy really?

Eric Clapton is the master of yeah songs?

Yeah, I didn't know name.

Okay, Yeah, there's no rule, Tom Petty really except that, yeah, I have to write a song.

It's only those who want the rules that truly succeed is what I'm finding.

Yet to bend to the rules.

No, yeah, people who this is this is like the theme of Fargo in the first season of Fargo, where it's like the main character is following all the rules and he's not succeeding, and Billy Bob Thornton's character is breaking the rules and getting to do whatever he wants.

And that's the question.

It's like, do you if you follow all the rules, will you just become this like weak little uh person who's taken advantage of And if you break the rules just enough with a good moral compass, you wind up succeeding. This is why people who are narcissists, they just steamroll and become the precess.

They don't have that self doubt. Yes, yeah, it's true. It's kind of goes into this. Did you see that clip going around some a best. He sent it to me and said, I think you've referenced this, but you didn't know who it was, but I believe I don't know whatever it is is. It was Rick Rubin talking to Oh, I.

Sent it to you.

You sent it to me to a bunch of people, did too, like or you did? And then another person and then this other person said, I think this is who you're referencing. But it was Rick Rubin talking about how you are not supposed to make art for the audience. You supposed to make it for yourself, and then that will be you don't you shouldn't care what the audience thinks. And then I sent it to Chris and was like, what are you think about this? Because I think Chris is more of the mindset of like there's a little of both, like I because there's some jokes in my special where I'm like, I like this a lot and it makes me laugh, but like it didn't do well. I tested it many times. It's not like I just asd it that night it did do well, Like it hasn't done well? Ever?

Do I keep it because it brings me joy?

Like, clearly it's not an the and the audience is what you that's how you make money, and you should be pleasing them. So I'm kind of I don't know how to feel about that.

And only art you can push it till it's too far. Like if someone makes a short film and it's just it's their ultimate artistic expression, but you watch it and it's just like, this makes no fucking sense.

It's just a bunch of colors and shapes and.

There's no dialogue, and it's like, yeah, now you're just being obnoxious and pretentious.

But that's your interpret that's what Rick Rubin was saying.

That's everyone's interpretation.

No, everybody, there's someone out there who will like it.

And there's more than one person.

Yeah, the odds person audience will find you.

Fine, that audience, the audience finds you, and then you have four total fans.

Yeah you're There's been so many times where I've thought something is so shitty, and I go, this person is so proud of themselves for making this choice, and it's the wrong choice because it's just even and I'm talking about myself, Like watching this edit for my special which I just finished doing, the I think the final edit on Brian you.

You gave notes on it too. Thank you so much, Brian.

I just watched it. Can I just say it is great? Yeah, it came out better than I thought it was gonna Me too.

Me too tight. It's tight.

Yeah, the edit was and it looks amazing.

The edit's really good because we tightened it up. And I mean both shows were amazing, and they would be so nice to have so much more time and fill it up with all the jokes. But do release we made it cuts? No, not yet, but hopefully soon. I'll tell you as soon as I know for sure. But in watching there were parts of it that I was so frustrated with yesterday. I like, I finished the edit this morning. I woke up really early because yesterday I tempted it and I got so bummed out because like, at the top of the show, I just was making some choices with my performance that I'm just like, why did you do that? Why are you being kid like? I made some choices where I'd like, I think because.

I was so overwhelmed.

I literally almost cried when I walked out because the audience was clapping so much and so enthusiastic. I've never become emotional from a crowd in my whole life, and there's been amazing crowds, but for some reason, that one would like hit me like a fucking wall and I almost cried. So then I had to like go to a place where I was like turn off feelings, and so it kind of made the start of the show for me to be I seem pretty callous because I'm not smiling a lot because I'm trying to. I had to shut that off right before I began, because I was just like, Jesus Christ, you guys, like I haven't even talked yet, You're making me cry without you like love me, And so I had to turn that off. And then when I go into my jokes, I'm not like smiling as much as I usually smile during these jokes, so they just seem psychopathic. So I was so mad at myself. I'm like, why why are you so cool? Like I'm giving a special, I'm not gonna smile. And then I realized you did it because you were preserving. You didn't want to give, like you were trying your best. Girl, You're just trying your best, and you didn't do it the way you should have, and you give anything to do it. Again, but you can't. And the idea, the fact that I know I fucked up is something.

I didn't notice.

You learn from you.

Now you'll notice because I called it out.

But I swear to God, I want everyone don't don't read into that too much. If you're like, she seems like a bitch up to the top, it's because I was overwhelmed by feelings and I shut them off for a little bit, and then I let it back in and then I start smiling more throughout the special because as I'm watching those, I'm like, no one likes a girl who doesn't smile, Like you got to be a likable woman.

You gotta smile more.

And I'm like, you.

Gotta take that construction workers advice.

Yeah, yeah, all of these construction workers who care so much.

Yes, you know it's best for the Nikki Glazer jokes that if you take away the sarcasm and the smile, she becomes a mine.

Compe friends.

Yeah, not only that you should get like you should kill their pregnant. Yes, there's some psychotic message. So wild Annie watched the cut before this one, and she even said.

Like, hey, maybe you can take out this one joke just to like soften.

It a little bit. And I hadn't seen it, like I hadn't really paid attention yet at this point, and I was like, oh no. So as I'm watching it, I'm like, oh, I see what she's talking about. Like this is so if you don't know who I am, this is your first intro to who I am. It's really jarring. And so I just want to warn everyone to just stick with it a little bit. The jokes are good, but I'm not smiling, so they seem a little insane. But the special did turn out great, but there was just so many moments of like why did you do that? Like to and I felt that way about other artists, like why did you do that? And so to feel about it about yourself, you kind of realize everyone's just trying their fucking best, and sometimes Camrah I get so many Camra moments, but I feel so accomplished that I'm.

Done editing is hell.

I I think it's the worst time of my life.

It just everything feels unbalanced.

I think it's the absolute It's it's like being pregnant in your last month.

Noah, Like, is that what's the hardest month for people? Last month?

I wouldn't know.

No, But I mean, like you've done your research, like you know what you're in for. What what do people say? Yeah, I guess because they just wanted to be over. Yes, And it's uncomfortable and you don't like the way you look or feel like like I don't mean to, I'm just trying to compare it to something I've heard is like just always is going to be bad. And for me, before I give birth to a special, I have to edit it and I hate it because you can't go back and change it. You gotta deal with what you already did. There's nothing you can do to change it. Nothing.

There's nothing I can do to go back and retake a senior in high school.

Senior itis.

Yeah, but you don't have to edit itis.

I'm trying to also encapsulate the having to look at yourself and realize you're a failure in all the ways.

Look at it with a fine detail, and cut out anything that's possibly going to make the special worse.

Yes.

And oh no, I haven't even looked at the pictures for the new podcast logo yet because I can't look at myself in any other way yet. I did a photo shoot a month ago, and I have not posted any of the photos or looked at a single one because I've just been I just don't want to look at myself right now.

It's too much. But then you reach you get this over this hump where if.

You watch yourself enough you start to think of them as someone else, and then it gets easier. But then it's just I'm just so glad it's over, and I'm so glad I like it, and it always gets to be this way, So look forward to that. It's coming out this year at some point, and then it's on to the next one, and which I want to talk about a bit. I started writing this morning when we get back after this, because I'm watching.

You a material.

Yeah, so I'm working on the new hour of Stand up or like just new jokes, and I was thinking about this moment I had with this young girl. I was doing this podcast George Jenko is that is, yes, George Jenko's podcast, and his girlfriend's this young hot girl.

Jean Guy. Jean Guy, Yeah, oh.

Yeah, Jacob Jean's he would look at some of those, but he's just a Jeanie's guy. He's so he's so great. I didn't know what I was in for when I went in. But he has this beautiful girlfriend who he's now engaged to. But she was talking about being worried about a woman following her around a store and she thought she was being trafficked. And I realized that that's just never a fear I've ever had, like.

During like like sex trafficked.

Yeah, I mean I should have feared it when I was younger.

That's what it is. They just follow you, like, yeah, they traffic.

They Juliane Maxwell you, but they just and then they steal. They find a way to steal you.

They track you, they study you, they they kind of they video the videotape. This guy girl was filming her oldest girl. She's the early twenties. Oh okay, and so but I remember her saying this and me being like, oh my god, I've never i never worried about being trafficked. And I'm past the trafficking age, like I'm out of it. Well maybe to like clean someone's home or something to raise their kids, but like, I'm.

Not getting trafficked for sex, because.

Oh that's good, thank god.

Bit there.

But I don't encourage people, no.

Please, and no one's gonna pay that I don't good press. Yeah, I just I thought that was a funny thing to hear, A new fear that I could have felt when I was in my early twenties. But I didn't fear that because it wasn't as prevalent or known about, you know, like being trafficked wasn't something people talked about average. There weren't signs on every bathroom at bathroom door saying like when are you being traffic It's always just like a depressed girl covering They cover her ethnicity, even though we know.

She has a hoodie.

Always oh yeah, yeah, yeah, she's got a hoodie, and they I really hope that helps some people. And I try to look out for girls being trafficked, but you do, yeah, because it's like usually a girl who's kind of scared, not dressed right for the weather, is what they say.

Why would she be in an airport? They're really flying them on like a cocial plane.

Oh yeah, and they're not going they're not going like help.

Ever they do.

They have hand signals that they can do to flight attendants are like trained to look for these certain Wow, almost did the white power hand signal?

But you know that what is it.

No, it's some kind of.

Hand signal that a girl can and all the flight attendants are now trained to know what that is. But you're supposed to look with like a shady guy or shady woman with a scared girl.

And if the girl the signals you make, you make the white power symbol and then you go the Jews will not replace us. And that's the signal to the flight attendant that you you're being sex trafficked.

That's what they're doing when they say that.

Those guys were all being sex trafficked.

Malicious at all this whole time.

Why don't the women know the women with them know the signal?

Yeah, that's my question.

Or you just probably do, but you just do it when they're not looking. They can't look at you all the time. There's always going to be a time where they might write and it's.

They're going to have to piss so but how do the victims know how to do it? Where do they learn it?

I listened to a podcast about a woman who escaped being sex trafficked and she kind of just over time picked it up via message boards and just you.

Know, they're shares the message boards.

You get to the library somehow, you get on a computer, you start figuring out like what can I do to get out of this?

Also, get left in rooms alone with other girls being trafficked a lot. You spend a lot of your time. From what I've read about it, I've watched those YouTube videos of like the Soft Underbelly I think is what they're called, and it was a girl that had been sex trafficked and she just spends They spent all day in motel rooms just waiting, and then they run out another motel room and you just go to that motel room and fuck John's that your pimp has brought in for you, and you're your John eventually has to go and get lunch or whatever, and so you can kind of talk to the other girls, and there's there's little ways.

But man, also they probably have Stockholm syndrome where it's hard to leave you.

Sure, but if they're on if they are gonna do the symbol, and they're on the internet, then why don't they just reach out to someone on the internet.

That's what I'm asking Stockholm.

But will also have a fear that they killed, they'll get the shit out of you.

Okay, yes, then that's not the same people looking at the symbol, then what do you mean? Because if they're willing to do the symbol on an airplane to get to save themselves, okay, why aren't they willing to just go on the internet and say.

Save me because they don't have access to the internet.

But that's how they learned the symbol.

I thought it makes February or something like that to get access to the internet. But if they found out that you tried to be saved on the Internet, they'll just beat the shit out of you or kill you. And if you're on an airplane, it's like a public spot and like you might be able to get away with it.

That might be the thought process there, Like if.

I can get out right now on this plane where everyone's around, they're not going to kill me.

Not like a certain symbol, but maybe the flight attendants and whoever is trained to look for certain marks on the body or like just a certain body language.

I thought that's what the bottom was. Would you press.

Yes the person I have I've just mouthed help to a flight attendant, but it's because the guy next to me is listening to his Wait, didn't you.

Have a guy like sleep on you on the plane or something.

He was just I filmed it and it looked way worse than it was. Everyone was like, holy shit, what's happening here? He was leaning to talk to the person behind him, but he was leaning into my seat. So it only lasted as long as you saw me film it for. But people were like, if this is happening. It was still annoying, and it was funny to capture, but it wasn't the whole time, and I absolutely would have called it out had it been. Yes, So, but you know about this Elizabeth, like Elizabeth Smart when she was captured, she went to parties right stuck on.

Like under him.

I was just saying, I don't think they're like going to the library and learning the symbol there.

No, I don't think they are either.

I don't know.

We got to get the more.

Everyone more what they're allowed to do.

I think I already said this on the show.

But I used to work in trucking radio and a lot of sex trafficking would be witnessed at truck stops. So there was this organization of women truckers who created these chapsticks, and in the cap of the chaps they would give it to girls in the bathroom who they would feel like are victims, Like they would notice things about them because you know, there's showers.

And your lips look gross. Here you go.

So they would give them an inside of the cap there was like a number like or like a message, need help give this signal or something like that, and it would be hidden inside the cap so the men wouldn't know.

Oh my god, that's insane that we have to do stuff like that as humans.

But that's cool.

There's a Bree Larson movie. What was that movie called Room? Yes, it's one of those tense movies of all time.

I mean that that. Go watch her. Before Brie Larson became Missus Marvel.

She was Amy Schumer's sister in train Wreck, the movie I was in. Oh my god, you I was a scene with her. Well, now we were at the same party in a scene, but I don't think I acted with her. But yeah, we went out to lunch during that time too.

Oh my god. Wow, she's very nice.

But yeah, that that movie Room where she's kept in a in a room.

With her son, with her son, and then she gets.

And the guy ipregnates her, right like the kidnapper is the one that impregnates her.

Right potentially, Yeah, and it's just it's so tense. I can't believe they're able to ratchet up.

I read that, but I don't think I wanted to see that.

Yeah, yeah, it was really good. But the tension, it's like you ever see Uncut Gems?

No, because I've heard about the tension.

There's a few movies that are just so tense, and then the release of tension you think would be relieving, but it's almost like I got not Like when the tension gets released in Uncut Gems, it's almost like that tension just follows you for the rest of your life.

Now you cannot it will.

What about It Follows? Have you ever heard about the plot of that?

I love it Follows.

It Follows is maybe one of the only horror movies that I actually would rewatch.

Wait what about the scene? I don't even I've never seen it. But I was reading on a Reddit thread the other day it was like, what are the what screen screencrab the scariest moments in movies for you?

And so people were just posting.

Just like a screenshot of like these, like you know, when a face suddenly appears in a doorway, and there was one from it follows where a tall man was in a house and it is so creepy, and a lot of it follows because it's like, there's this thing that is always walking to you to kill you, and you can and it is always walking at like a walking pace, so you can run from it your whole life, but it will always be walking to you and will always find you. So you've got to keep going, which is really not that hard to do. But this, yeah, John, like a giant John Lennon, I hate it. Is that such a scary scene, Brian, what happens?

Oh my god, I got the nipples are so hard.

I hate that.

That's actually that that guy is not scary. That is actually Tony Hawk and they're about to go skateboarding. The monster comes later. It follows as a it's uh, it's a parable about urging sexuality and the monster is.

Gay.

The monster is basically like your sexuality and the fears and dangers that come with it because it is the monster itself is actually a sexually transmitted disease.

Yeah, you have sex with someone and then the monster will start chasing them until they die, and then it goes back.

To Christian Scirity, you can just.

You fuck people to get the monster off chasing you, but then the monster eventually gets them and then they comes back to.

Get So it follows studded at sex.

Yeah, but it's not for you never to have sex.

It's telling you that, like your loss of innocence, it's basically like a symbol symbolism of your loss of innocence and entering this new world where you are now a sexual being that it's more like an act.

Me.

You didn't feel different after you lost your virginity. You weren't like the worlds.

I was like, I'm cool, but I was years old, so I was twenty.

One, and I felt like I remember eating an omelet and being like, this is like the first omelet, as like an a doll.

It was like right after and we were barely talking.

We had nothing to talk about after we had sex because he was regretting it because he had a girlfriend, and I could just tell everything is shifted. It was the first time that I felt talk about It follows you follow sex, men being weird, men getting changing so much, men suddenly not being able to hold conversation, men suddenly like not really wanting to talk to you anymore, not really having anything to say, suddenly regretting everything they did, just did. That was what it followed for me after that. I just remember being like, this guy isn't like cool to me anymore.

Standing in a doorway facing you, Yeah, doorway, turning to get out, but.

Instead of running from it, I like ran towards it. That that terrifying change. Okay, so it fallows. I love that.

You love that movie?

Is it? But it's so scary, right, Like, I don't think I can handle something, you know what? The idea is creeping at me slowly, yeah, fucking instead of running, No, walking so much scarier running.

They're always walked in that well.

And like most classic movies, the monster like either can can like space jump and all of a sudden it's right in front of you when it was just across the room or the.

Yeah, like ing or scared scattering the wall. Like the other scene is the movie Hereditary. There was a screenshot of it and she's in the corner of the wall and you can barely see her because it's so dark. You really you have to like really look and you go, oh my god, what the fuck is up? There. It's so creaty. I wouldn't see the Mireditary is the one is the movie that, like everyone says, is the most scarring insane.

Have you seen that, Brian, No, I haven't seen her. I talked about watch it.

No, it's it's traumatic, Okay.

I know. Is the scariest thing I ever saw.

That made me like I slept with my sister that night, which has never happened event Horizon.

Wait, why.

It's a ship that goes to head like a spaceship. You've never seen it?

Oh my god, it's so scary. They like recover the like tapes from the spaceship. I remember the part that was the worst is they just the ship disappears and someone has to go find it. They find the ship, the crew is not on it, but there's like blood and stuff. Everyone like, okay, what happened people?

One guy's like pulling his intestines. I was not, like, well no, people are like like chopping each other up.

But then when he's on the ship, like he's hallucinating. So the lights are going on and off, and then this woman is just facing him. That's his like wife that killed herself or whatever.

Oh so when the lights go off, so it gets closer as they've.

Got so many shots of like, yes, that kind of oh my god.

Creepy little things like even the Blair Witch at the very end where the guys just him facing the wall. There's there's nothing you see, but it's just like really like a thing that's challenging you to find it in the thing, and like it's there's a subred of like when you see it or whatever you like.

For the days, some of those things are so stupid. Like I was watching I think it was like Insidious two or some something, and it was like there were this this woman was in an attic or a basement and it was pitch black. I don't know why she went down there, but she decided to go into the pitch back placement laundry. She was doing her laundry and she had to uh, she couldn't see anything, but there was a chance there was a monster down there, and so at some point she took out a match and she lit the mask, and then of course the monster was right there facing her. And I think that's just so stupid because that means that like the monster was just sitting there waiting.

I can't wait till she likes this match.

When she she's gonna be so scared when she sees something close to you day and then.

She's walking and he's backing up to be face to face with her, like stumbling over like trash that's in the base, like the Lawndowers pitch silently.

If you think, if you want scary movies to be less scary, just start thinking about all the prep and set up that the monster had to do to make this movement happen.

The monster really works hard.

Yeah, like to get on her bed.

So they have to like clean are out all the clutter and like putting somewhere else there.

And be like they can't fart, burp or anything.

Like imagine the guy from the moving like he has to go to home depot. You got to get a hook from somewhere. You guys have a hook, you know.

He's like.

Just picture them eating lunch, Like the guy from Saw had to like stop building a contraption, so he did, like make a turkey sandwich salad.

My standwich was supposed to be here five minutes ago.

Picture like just horny, but it's like I can't I can't do anything about it right now.

Like Waldreins.

That takes away some of the fear.

I think the scariest movie that scarred me the most was in eighth grade when Missus Cannon stupidly showed us The Day After Tomorrow.

I've never seen it, but I've heard you talk about.

Yeah, it's I've talked about it before.

But it was like this apocalyptic movie about what if there was a nuclear war and it was all set in Lawrence, Kansas, I guess, which I didn't even know I would end up going to college there. It was eighth grade, but we were reading this book called Z for Zachariah about the end of the world, like a nuclear apocalypse, and she was like, this would be appropriate to show them to tie into this book. And it was so just like the idea that this thing could hit and then we all are just like skeletons, Like hey, like it would flash and then you would be these kids like playing baseball and they would just go ring and it would be like an X ray of them and they're like ring and that. For whatever reason, that was so scary to me, like just seeing people in their everyday lives become skeletons. And I couldn't sleep and I had so much fear, and it was probably the most scared I've ever been as a kid for an extended period. And then I always tell the story, but I remember so distinctly going down to my parents' bedroom to sleep on their floor for the probably twentieth time that month, like I spent, I slept on my parents' floor. I would pull out this gymnastic mac from under the bed. The monster would be there. I'd say, excuse me, can I get this mat? And I would pull out the mat and I would unfold it and sadly make my bed, and I really remember, how is that the first time in my life I was like, you gotta get it together, Niki, Like this isn't gonna las. You have to quit this, Like it was my I've quit so many things in my life and had that moment of like, this isn't working for you, this isn't manageable you you gotta quit this. And that was the I remember pulling out that mattress.

It was so sad.

It was like having a drink after you've been sober for a bit, Like I would like, you know, be able to sleep in my room for a week.

And then I quote down like, can I sleep with you?

Unfold the map, make the bed, and I went down the final time I ever went down.

I opened the door.

And I said, I'm scared, and my dad goes, of what and they're like asleep, and I would go nuclear war, and my dad just goes, what and I go, I'm just scared, Like any second it could just like happen. There's no morning, there's no light, sirens or anything like, it just will like skeletons and skeletons. Yeah, he just called ears so much, which was the simplest thing. He just said, Nikki, there is literally nothing you can do about it. And I was just like, and I remember thinking that he goes, what are what? What can you do? What are you going to do?

Like this is a guy that lived with their parents in the sixties, you know, like.

Bay of Pigs, nuclear like he's he had run this one through, I could tell.

And that was just the dating scene.

He had lived through this fear of like the world ending, and there it's true, there's nothing you can do, and it really made me. I just remember shutting the door and being like, I can live now because I don't I'm not responsible for this anymore.

And it was.

It was so freeing, and I can't believe that's what did it. I would have never thought that was what did it.

But I don't know if that would have comforted me as a child because of the need for control.

I think it. I don't know. I wonder if I was that.

If your parents, the people who know so know everything to you, I guess at this point in eighth grade, they were starting to learn that they didn't know everything, but there's still the authority and they tell you there's nothing you can do. It's like, it's my same joke about like I like being bondage because I like being tied up because someone's like you can't, you can't do anything. It's like forced laziness. So like if you can't do anything, you don't, you are free to not worry. It was like we were talking about the other day where I was like, I like knowing that nothing's my fault. I forget what we were saying, but there was some comfort I took from the adopting thing.

Yeah, knowing thing.

Maybe it was that, but it was something about not feeling responsible.

First.

If I if I don't feel responsible, then I can just like let go of it and be like it's not my problem. That's why I like that phrase, like it's none of your business what other people think about you. That that works on me when I'm reminded of it, because it just cuts right through it of like, okay, well now now it's annoying if I care. Now I'm like being a little nosy bitch.

Okay, great, never know anyway, so it's like, why are you trying?

Yeah, I liked that healthier reaction when just letting go, like the book you're reading, You've just let go of your responsibility. Whereas if that happened to me, I'd probably be like, I need to get in touch with Krbachev maybe if he just listens to me.

You know, I write a little letter, but.

I think I can't even that we can do. He was like, are you going to write a letter? Like you don't even know where to send it? Like I think we kind of every day. I had no idea. Even my therapist I remember one time said because I was struggling with imposter syndrome. And I know I've said this before, so I'm sorry to repeat myself, but she I was like, I just feel like i'm fooling everyone, And she was like, how dare you think that? So you think you're smarter than everyone, So you literally think you are so smart that all these smart people you tricked them. You're so good. And I was like, as soon as she makes it that, I think I'm hot. Shit, I don't feel that way. It took it away. Yeah, and then I like, there's something that soothing about that. Brian, you watched the stand up special?

You said, well, Ree listened because I don't think I'm if I'm not mistaken, I don't think there's video of this special.

I think it's simply an album.

What David l that skanks for the Memories?

No, but close, Mitch.

Hedburg, Okay, hold on, let me try to get it.

Oh that Mitch Hedburg won called it's about corn, ear of corn or something.

God, I don't that's not ringing a bell. But that was definitely a Louis c k No. No, okay, well, what what was it.

Brian Reagan standing up his first album?

Oh?

Yeah, really that's not on VID.

I don't think so. I don't.

I tried to look for it, and it was just an album. And I have to say, you got if you haven't listened to that album in a while. Listen to the first twelve minutes of that album. I don't think I've ever heard any recording of anyone crushing harder for that long sustained amount of time than the first eleven minutes of that album. It is absurd. The people and that audience are in hysterics. It's almost like they need to leave for their own help. They're laughing so much. Every single line is an uproarious laughter. And and I'm laughing too.

I'm not.

I'm I'm listening to it. And usually if people are laughing too much, I'm like.

Okay, chill.

This is like, I get why they're laughing this much. This is absurd. Just the just the rhythm and the amount of jokes and the way he you know, he does his like act outs are so funny and he just piles on the ta the.

You two stuff, Yeah, well you two is that the bit.

And the setups are so simple, because the setups just like I'm stupid, and then it's like learning words.

Yes, yes, so good.

I agree with you.

I don't think peace for with geese. What's the ploor of for a moose? Mosin? Yes, I fed the mosin in the trees and the woods engine and the woods. The meats want the food. And then he just switched it to me.

And I remember, I remember seeing him at God where was I. I was with Ryan Hamilton. We were at the Beacon. We got to go see him. And I remember nearly falling out of my chair, which has never happened to me at a comedy show. But I remember because he was talking with the word cabinet, we have to I don't even know. I couldn't even repeat any of what he was saying about it, but just the idea that it's cabinet, capbinet, like we have to do that. It's so fun He's just a cabinet, like, it's cabinet, Like why do we smell it the way? It was so funny. And then he I remember almost falling, and which is rarely, rarely happened to me. I think it's only happened to me like when laughing with friends. I don't think a comedian has ever made me nearly fall out of my chair. But he's he's he's one of the greatest of all time.

Yeah.

No, the question I keep telling Alie, I keeped like you know she wasn't a huge stand up fan before she met me. And I keep like showing your comedians and I go, oh, this person is like the greatest comedian of all time. And she says, Brian, you say that about every comedian. Yeah, and it's like, well, no, I say that about there's like thirty of them. And I keep showing you those guys over and over again.

Yeah. Okay, well who's who's who? Are you putting your top five right now?

Let's just do my top five right now.

Yeah, it doesn't have to be perfect.

We can amend this, Okay, I'll top five favorite or Greatest fall Time Mount.

Rushmore, Greates of all Time Mount Rushmore.

Oh, so then you know greatest fall Time Aunt Rushmore is different than my favorite. I think it would probably be Prior Carlin.

Uh.

I think luisyk is up there as Chappelle, and I don't know Robin Williams top five of all time.

I'm going to add Burn mulaney to that.

Oh, but who would you replace? The Mount Rushmore is only four.

Faces I'm making bigger.

You're gonna expand you're going to intrude further into the native land.

I didn't know what that meant just for I just meant it was like in Stone that I just pictured these are the greatest men's faces to be in Stone. Yeah, I'm not well versed in prior, but I just trust that he's one of the best, because yeah, Joan Rivers is up there, But.

Like, you gotta give historical significance to some of them too. It's just I wouldn't put Lenny Bruce up there because I don't think I've ever heard of Lenny Bruce's joke that made me actually laugh. But you have to respect the fact that he was the first one to start really like just talking like a normal person.

Okay, how did stand up not become something before?

It?

Like it's such a new art in terms of the history of the sixties. Yeah, and oh okay, so after we get to the break, I want to talk about my mom and I went on a date last night and I saw some of the most talented people in the world, and yeah, I won't talk about that well right after this. So last night my mom and I my mom two days ago was like wrote to me and my sister, do you guys want to go see Funny Girl at the Fox? Because it's at the Fox's Musical and I instantly was like, hell yeah, and my mom's like, what you want to go? No way. My mom like thinks I don't want to do anything. She doesn't understand that. She's like my friend and I like hanging out with her. She's so excited. So she bought tickets to Funny Girl. I'm guessing when she was drunk, because she doesn't ever spend any money on anything. I think she maybe had an edible or something when she bought this, Like, my mom does not spend money, she does not treat herself. But she was like, I'm gonna see Funny Girl the day after my birthday. It's her because it's her favorite movie of all time. And so we went last night, and oh my god, the girl that played Fanny Brice is.

Her name is.

Katrina mc crimin McCrimmon. And I think she's the best thinger I've ever heard live in my life. I mean, it was insane. I can not believe this talent. I think she's the best singer i've I just I wrote her on Instagram and I felt bad saying the best singer I've ever heard live, But I just I can't confirm that I haven't heard better on audio, but I knew live.

This was like it was just perfect. She was so good.

And we were sitting kind of far away because my mom bought the tickets and so it was I couldn't see how old she was the whole movie.

But then Fanny Bryce was so.

Like, dig yeah.

I was like me by them next time. I like, I want to be all to see faces. But she's twenty five years oldest girl, and she fucking nails it.

And we just can't even believe how good.

She is, my mom and I and we're walking out and we're like, oh my god, like that's one of the most talented people I've ever seen in my life, singing, dancing, acting, just funny, just just able to belt and lower register, higher register.

She just it was so impressive.

And then we were leaving and I was like, you know, I have to say, like my mom, go, how is she just on this like little regional? Like it's not little, I mean, the Fox is a big place, but how is this just not the Broadway? How is she not so famous? And I was like, because unfortunately, there are a lot of people who can do that, and I know it doesn't seem like there's a lot of people that can do it, because yeah, it is an extraordinary talent, but there are a lot of singers in the world, and based on my just training and stuff, like, I know there's a lot of people that can sing that good. Not I think she's exceptional even for how good she is. But it's true like singing and dancing, and there's lots of people doing it. It's very competitive. There's not as many rules comedy, there's lots of people doing it. I really am glad I selected something that less people do.

And also there's more of a like if you can sing, you can sing. It's more like there's lots of different ways to be funny. I know there's lots of different ways to sing, but like there's lots of different levels of talent.

Yes, I think overall.

Though, there's just too many people pursuing art. And you know, we grew up.

In a society stop everyone.

Where everyone has like pretty much the comforts of existence. They don't have to, you know, do much, and then the boomers told all of the millennials that they could be whatever they want to be when they grow up. And so now we have just a glut of people who are pursuing their passion and their dreams, and it's like just I just want there to be about half.

But there are because they eventually fall away because they're not going to ever make it and they can't sustain doing these open mics forever and trying, and so they fall off either because they're unlucky because they're they were born talented, or they just don't work hard enough for whatever they or they just have no luck and they're the most talented, which doesn't really happen that often. If you're talented enough, you'll find a way, I think, and if you work hard enough. But it is. There was a guy in the show that was so good at tap dancing, and I was like, this guy is more hours into tap dancing than I haven't sleeping, Like he is so good at tap dancing, but what a very weird.

Skill to hasp so old timing.

It was so incredible to watch, but it was just like, what a funny thing to be great at.

Second always baffles me when someone is so good. It's something that like there's maybe a grand total of a thousand fans in the world.

And like twenty five different steps like tap dancing doesn't have like a lot of defeat have to be on the floor a lot, so you can't do.

Many different things. You have to constantly be doing this.

It was so good.

Percussionist, Yes, absolutely, drums.

With your feet. It totally is that. No, it was incredible. I mean, there's no question these people are infinitely more talented than than I am in my field. I really truly believe that, Like, I don't have to be this good at what I do to make it because there aren't as many of us. So it's like, I'm I'm great. I'm not gonna say that I'm not. And I work really hard. But if if comedy were as popular as singing and dancing is, and people started when they're like four or five, or I think this girl started when she was eight, it would be much more competitive and you probably wouldn't know my name, is all I'm saying. Like, and I had to explain that to my mom, and like, you should be so glad I didn't choose musical theater because I even if I was amazing, it would be so hard to break through because there's so many people that are amazing. Because there is there's places to go and learn early. You can't start stand up till you're an adult.

No parent like parents are like encouraging their kids to become good singers, and there's no there's very few parents who are encouraging their eight year olds to pursue stand up comedy.

And if they are, if they wanted to be stand up comics, and therefore your kid does not have the same. Your kid only is gonna be a stand up comic if you neglect them in.

A weird, you know, very specific way, have low self esteem, have depression.

Yeah, and I'm gonna go out on a limb hear and say, if you start stand up when you're eight years old, you will never be funny.

No, because never be funny.

You're doing stand up because you like jokes.

Like, it's rare that kids, it's rare that you find stand ups that are like I always knew I was going to be stand up when I was a kid.

It's not rare.

But I'd say, it's half of us, and I think the other half are just like, oh yeah, like I didn't. I didn't think about it until it was like time to do it.

Kids don't even understand jokes until they're like between six or eight, because they don't understand symbolism yet. There's no way for children to metaphors. Yeah, they think concretely, so they can't understand metaphor. So there's like no way to start early. And that's why you hear like kids saying jokes and they parents are laughing, like kids say the darnis things or whatever, or like TV shows, Yeah, kind of being like this, and I have to be prompted, and you can tell they don't really understand it.

No, there's nothing funnier than the kid reading his dad's jokes. That's all you get when there's kids doing comedies, the least interesting thing ever, there's not. There's no funny kids except Ava Ryan, whose mom filmed her. You can Katie Ryan on Instagram is the funniest child. Ava Ryan is her daughter. But Katie Ryan is the mom and she's the funniest little girl ever, and she is trying to be funny, So there is an exception to it. And I also want to say soul.

She has an old soul. That's it.

There's no way around to that for that girl.

I want to say though, I said on a previous episode that autistic people aren't funny on purpose. And I want to take that back because I've been watching more of Love on the Spectrum and they absolutely do understand jokes, and but they love.

Puns, yes, the love they love the puns.

Like this girl in this episode was asked this guy if he wants a big kiss, and he kind of like gets like freaked out, and then she.

Pulls kiss and they like love it and it was so cute.

So I want to say that I misspoke when I said that, and I and I might they might also understand irony and things like that're.

Funny without knowing it.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

They don't do it on purpose unless it's a pun from what I've noticed, but I could be wrong. Final thought the movie, the production Funny Girl. I had seen the movie before because it's my mom's favorite movie, but not because of that. My my actually, my therapist, my abusive therapist, doctor abusive recommended, which I want to say, by the way, I recommended Michelle Wolf go to my therapist, my abusive and she went like twice and was like no way, Like she was so odd. She like knew early on.

She was like, I'm not seeing you're still seeing her.

Oh my god. I dropped her for two, like within two sessions, so I was like, God, she's so good. Michelle's Michelle knows what to do. Drop fro Yo, drop Donna. But so, my abusive therapist told me once during a session, she was like, have you ever seen Funny Girl? You would relate to that. You should watch that, And I was like, that's my mom's favorite movie. I should see it. So then I watched it because my therapist told me to and it and then I forgot about what I learned because that was over ten years ago or about ten years ago, and then saw it last night. The whole premise of Funny Girl is that women who aren't beautiful have to be funny and they don't deserve love or fame or success except this one Fanny Bryce. She's not beautiful, and the whole first song is like, you're not pretty as a girl in Atlantic City. You're pretty, You're disgusting, and you will never have success or just accept that your life is not gonna be as good as if you were pretty, which is kind of the premise of my whole special and which I kind of like that they were just calling this out. But then this girl is like, but I'm funny. So then she's like, but I but I'm really talented. So she's really talented. She's a really good dancer, really good singer, but she's not pretty and she has a flat chest, and so they're like, you're never gonna make it, but she turns out her talent gets her ahead. So then she gets noticed by this like really handsome guy who believes in her success, and he's just like dazzled by how talented she is. But he's like really handsome and seems to be very rich, and he she's just like, oh my god, this guy likes me. He's so like, obviously, I would never think he would even look twice at me. So then they both like each other because they both feel like they don't deserve each other. He's so enamored by how funny she is and how talented that he's like, I don't deserve her. And then and he's not that rich. Turns out and she becomes very rich and famous, so he's just like, I don't deserve her, and she's like I don't deserve him because he's so hot, And then I don't want to give away the.

Ending, but he's only hot, but she's famous, talented, funny.

Yep.

He also oh she thought he was rich.

Okay, she thought he was rich, and he's just like he he comes from like better stock than her. So he talked like this, and in the in the movie, he's he's like foreign and kind of mysterious, and he just like deals. He just dresses better, and he just carries himself better. And he was the first one to really believe in her. And so she also has that where she's trying to keep him around because she's like, you gave me everything, and everyone in her life is going like what does this guy even give you? And she's like you don't understand, like he he I can't sing or dance without his belief in me. And and I like that The ending isn't what you think it's gonna be. But I was watching it like, oh my god, this is like I love that. This is kind of my life life a little bit. Like I I was talking on the Girl's chat about how we were I sent some video about these girls being interviewed about do you want to be hotter than your do you want to be the catch? Or do they do you want them to be the catch, your partner, them to be the catch. And most most of the girls were like, I want to be the prize. I want him to be like so enamored with me. I want to be the one that's the prize in the relationship. And most of the girls and our girls chat agreed with those girls, except I guess you you would rather them be the catch.

Yeah, so I can get a hottie and so, because then I'll know that they must I must be good.

Yes anyway, yeah, you must be like yes, like it's not just your hotness that got them.

I don't want no, but I do want that.

But I also want people to go, whoa she's with like such a hot person?

She he could get way hotter than her. She must be.

To me all the time, every time I introduce Ali to someone, people are like, I like you better now because I met your wife.

Your wife is pretty FANTASTICO.

When I meet guys that their wife's are amazing, then I'm like, oh, okay, then there's like kind of no way this guy's going to be annoying if I don't know them, Yes, they're probably not gonna man explain to me today or anything because their wife is cool.

It's not even like I want the wife to be the man to be cool, though, I just want him to be like physically, I know this is social. I just want people to go, how did she get him? How she must be so funny and cool? Because I'm leaning into the thing that I do have as opposed to the thing that I feel it I don't have as much Like I I know I'm never going to be as hot as like the hottest girl, but like I can probably be as cool as the coolest girl like that that's within reach for me, even though I also feel sometimes that that's out of reach. But I just thought that was I can't relate at all to a woman who wants to be the one who's the prize, but I feel most women do. Noll, can you speak to how you feel about this?

I think it's more about having like an insecurity that he could leave if he's hotter, and he'll have more temptation out there.

Oh, I think that's what it's about.

But he chose us because it's not that that part isn't as important as and as is important nothing as retailer as our humor and coolness.

Right, if I catch in a relationship, doesn't that mean that you just that you settled.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too, Like, oh, I.

Guess I could have done better if I'm the catch.

That's how I feel too. And I want and I and I want, I want.

We all know this.

I want to constantly prove that, like, yeah, he could leave me, but he's gonna stay with me, Like he could do better. Everyone knows he could get anyone he wants, but he's choosing this, Like that makes me feel so special And I feel yeah, like I'm constantly starting.

Girl talks about like you both choose to be in the relationship, and I think that's what makes people feel special to each other, because people both choose to be here. We're not being forced. Yes, it's not our last resort or anything.

We're just not getting on a plane making symbols with the.

Flight get me away from this hotie please.

Okay.

I feel like, yeah, I figured it out. Yeah, But this play, I gotta say musicals. I go in and I'm like, the most of it, I spend just being like, man, I wish this was my life, Like I should have done musical theater.

This looks so fun.

God, it would be so fun to dance and things like that, and oh my god, I'll never be that good of a singer. God, what do I even try for? And I go through all these like making it about me and like you're thinking the whole time, yeah, and I barely can enjoy it. And then we get to intermission. I'm like, it's not over yet, like I have to now wait a half hour, and then the second half I I lose all of that insecurity and I'm just I'm just I'm bored.

Until the end I wanted to do I was starting to communicate with that. No, not really, I don't have much of.

An attention span. Even though this was one of the most incredible performances I've ever seen, I was like, Okay, let's I'm hungry. I want to go home.

I feel everything even shows. If I love them, then I'm counting like they've done twelve songs. They can't possibly do like three.

I only don't feel that way, tylor.

I want to give a shout out to my sister in law's aunt. So my sister in law, let me do my brother's wife's aunt. Okay, she's she's Victoria Clark and she's the star of Broadway musical called Kimberly of Kimbo. It's it's currently in its second year on Broadway, and it won the Tony Award for Best Musical, and she won the Tony Award for Best Performer in a Musical in this past year. Whoa yeah, and she's an incredible Tony Award winning musical performer. Dan go see Kimberly Akimbo because it got extended even though it's a small musical and a smaller theater, which it's rare that a small musical in a smaller theater gets extended beyond its first run. Because of this, the money, this got extended to a second run, so you can go see it in New York on Broadway.

Kimberly Akimbo.

I do want to see more musicals.

I was kidding when I said I was bored, but that is how I feel about anything I even love. But musicals are amazing and I will go see Kimberly Akimbo if I'm able to.

And I really get a music. A musical so fun.

Yeah, it is.

Funny, and you get to dance with other people, like doing dances with people is so fun learning a dance and then harmonizing and yeah, just like, oh man, it's that was the day.

Those were the days.

This has a whole other discussion we after wrap, but we should talk about just musicals and stuff in high school and drama and if you did any of that.

Did you do that stuff?

Friend?

I don't know. We're gonna have to wait.
