[0:59] Speaker 3: And I just want to know what the worst bomb
[1:01] Speaker 3: you've ever had is.
[1:02] Speaker 4: I think I black out. Really bad things happened to me, but.
[1:04] Speaker 1: Black it back in Girl, Wipe It in Okay.
[1:07] Speaker 4: But the worst time I fainted on stage was probably
[1:10] Speaker 4: the biggest I've ever bombed.
[1:11] Speaker 1: You fainted on stage live, That's my worst nightmare.
[1:15] Speaker 4: It was the first time I ever fainted. I didn't
[1:16] Speaker 4: even know it could be a thing that I would
[1:18] Speaker 4: ever happen to me, and it was. It was so bad.
[1:22] Speaker 1: What happened. I was doing a gig.
[1:25] Speaker 4: It was two thousand and seven. It was right before
[1:28] Speaker 4: the Montreal Comedy Festival, right before that week, and I
[1:34] Speaker 4: had got New Faces, which is a thing that's like
[1:36] Speaker 4: welcome to the industry. It's Nicky Glazer, and it's like
[1:39] Speaker 4: you're being presented. It's so much pressure going to Montreal
[1:42] Speaker 4: to get flown out there. It's like you're you really
[1:44] Speaker 4: feel like it's your like star search moment. You're one chance,
[1:47] Speaker 4: you're one shot.
[1:47] Speaker 1: They fly you out spirit air, middle seat, three connecting plates.
[1:51] Speaker 4: Yeah, they dive you. No predamn, it's uh. And then
[1:54] Speaker 4: you do one five minute set, so.
[1:56] Speaker 3: You had to pay for your own hotel.
[1:58] Speaker 4: I think you actually did at some point.
[2:00] Speaker 3: I don't even pay for you to go.
[2:02] Speaker 4: And you do five minutes on a packed show with
[2:05] Speaker 4: fifteen other people and Tom Poppa is hosting, and you
[2:10] Speaker 4: go out into a crowd of French people in the
[2:13] Speaker 4: industry and they're not great and the room is big
[2:16] Speaker 4: and echoey and weird. And I was too young. The
[2:18] Speaker 4: thing is, you want to be old in your class
[2:21] Speaker 4: of new faces. What year do you go?
[2:23] Speaker 3: I didn't even think about that.
[2:24] Speaker 4: You want to be the best, and whoever's the best
[2:26] Speaker 4: is usually the oldest. What you don't want to be
[2:28] Speaker 4: the old old man? That is like we have one novels,
[2:31] Speaker 4: like sixty year old fan, But you want to be
[2:32] Speaker 4: the person who's been doing stand up the longest relatively.
[2:35] Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't think about that. Maybe I went too early.
[2:38] Speaker 4: A lot of us did.
[2:38] Speaker 1: I did Aspen Comedy Festival. Yeah, okay, hbo Aspen Company
[2:44] Speaker 1: Festival in two thousand and six. I'd been doing comedy
[2:48] Speaker 1: for three years.
[2:49] Speaker 4: Oh wow, wait, so that you did?
[2:50] Speaker 2: Not?
[2:50] Speaker 4: That did not pop you.
[2:51] Speaker 1: I'm still working a temp job and waiting tables.
[2:57] Speaker 4: It helped, it did help.
[2:59] Speaker 3: I got an agent on them.
[3:00] Speaker 4: Oh that's good.
[3:00] Speaker 1: Yeah, I got an agent. It was the first time
[3:03] Speaker 1: I got like representation. But I wasn't making Buckoo Box
[3:06] Speaker 1: at all.
[3:06] Speaker 4: You didn't sign any deals did.
[3:08] Speaker 1: Not sign any deals. No, so wait you how did
[3:11] Speaker 1: you faint?
[3:12] Speaker 4: So weeks leading up to this, I was so nervous,
[3:14] Speaker 4: so I was having like a raging eating disorder. I
[3:16] Speaker 4: was like not eating all day, and then I was
[3:17] Speaker 4: like running after work and I was temping at a
[3:19] Speaker 4: jobs and I was falling asleep constantly because I was
[3:21] Speaker 4: so malnourished, and I was smoking so much weed, and
[3:23] Speaker 4: just like literally my diet was like weed and like
[3:26] Speaker 4: a froio every day. And then sometimes I'd let myself
[3:29] Speaker 4: eat a full meal if I was getting it for free,
[3:31] Speaker 4: because I was doing a show where they give you
[3:35] Speaker 4: a meal, and that would be by my one, like
[3:36] Speaker 4: I'm gonna go bananas because it's free. So I was
[3:39] Speaker 4: doing Hennesses, which is a restaurant in Dana Point, which
[3:43] Speaker 4: is like in the o C. And I had drove
[3:46] Speaker 4: there after work. I also had run after work and
[3:48] Speaker 4: smoked weed right before I left, so I drive down there.
[3:50] Speaker 4: I haven't eaten all day.
[3:51] Speaker 3: Fucking it, You're wild, wild.
[3:53] Speaker 4: Out of control, trying to have so much control, thinking
[3:57] Speaker 4: I'm killing it.
[3:57] Speaker 3: Did you drink in these days?
[3:59] Speaker 4: I did, but I I wasn't planning on drinking. Then
[4:02] Speaker 4: I think when I was in control phases of like
[4:03] Speaker 4: I gotta lock it in. I'm doing Montreal, I would
[4:05] Speaker 4: like lessen the drinking, weed, smoke, more diet, like control
[4:09] Speaker 4: control and so, and I think drinking was like that
[4:12] Speaker 4: will make me fat. So I was just like I
[4:14] Speaker 4: thought being skinny enough was gonna get me something there
[4:16] Speaker 4: or make me funnier. I don't know what the fuck.
[4:19] Speaker 4: So I got to the show and I was I
[4:23] Speaker 4: was like, I knew that I was feeling weak, and
[4:25] Speaker 4: I was like, I need to order. So I ordered
[4:27] Speaker 4: right away and they go, you can go up next,
[4:29] Speaker 4: and I was like, I really need to eat something,
[4:31] Speaker 4: and They're like, just go up next and then your food.
[4:32] Speaker 4: I'll be ready when you're done. I was like, okay,
[4:34] Speaker 4: So I go up and right when I'm up there,
[4:36] Speaker 4: I start to kind of feel like, oh God, but
[4:38] Speaker 4: I don't know the feeling, and I'm kind of having
[4:40] Speaker 4: cognitive issues for the first time I think ever, maybe
[4:43] Speaker 4: where like you can't think of what you're saying, and
[4:47] Speaker 4: you don't at first, you start panicking because you're like,
[4:50] Speaker 4: why am I not thinking what I'm saying? So then
[4:51] Speaker 4: you can't think of what you're saying because you're panicking
[4:53] Speaker 4: about you're not thinking so it. And then the tunnel
[4:55] Speaker 4: vision started and that's when I was like, oh, oh,
[4:58] Speaker 4: systems are shutting down. And I just said to the
[5:00] Speaker 4: front row, I was like I think I'm gonna faint,
[5:03] Speaker 4: and I go, is that is that awkward? And then
[5:06] Speaker 4: this woman just goes yeah, and I was like it
[5:09] Speaker 4: is and then I just boom. And then I had
[5:11] Speaker 4: a dream that I was in the ocean and that
[5:13] Speaker 4: I was like washing up on the shore, but it
[5:15] Speaker 4: was like me like falling against this like fucking railing
[5:18] Speaker 4: that was behind me because there was nothing else. And
[5:19] Speaker 4: then it was the guys like coming up to catch
[5:21] Speaker 4: me because I was like just crumpled on stage. And
[5:24] Speaker 4: then I had a dream after the waves crashing, which
[5:27] Speaker 4: lasted a really long time. I had a dream that
[5:28] Speaker 4: I fainted on stage and I was like that's embarrassing.
[5:31] Speaker 4: And then you know when you wake up from a
[5:32] Speaker 4: dream and you're like thank God that didn't happen, like
[5:35] Speaker 4: you're like yes, So I just I had that moment
[5:38] Speaker 4: of like, oh I got it in faint on stage,
[5:40] Speaker 4: and then I woke up and I'm like, oh, it's real,
[5:42] Speaker 4: and it was like the worst realization. It was I've
[5:45] Speaker 4: never had it where you think a nightmare is a
[5:48] Speaker 4: nightmare and and then it turns into real It was
[5:50] Speaker 4: the first time, and I was it was so embarrassing.
[5:53] Speaker 4: The room was dead quiet. I think I woke up
[5:55] Speaker 4: from like the quiet, and and I was like murmuring
[5:59] Speaker 4: I was abdic into the microphone because I think and
[6:02] Speaker 4: I'm not. I think I just wanted to generate some
[6:04] Speaker 4: kind of excuse that wasn't like I'm anorexic, you know,
[6:07] Speaker 4: like I just think that my brain was trying. So
[6:09] Speaker 4: they were all like, you're diabetic. I'm like, what, No,
[6:12] Speaker 4: And then I ran into the bathroom because I was
[6:14] Speaker 4: so embarrassed. And I'm in the stall and I'm just
[6:16] Speaker 4: like it's right off the stage and there's like hundreds
[6:18] Speaker 4: of people in this room. This is a big and
[6:19] Speaker 4: they're all eating dinner. They're all eating like their shrimp platters,
[6:23] Speaker 4: and it's dead silent on stage and I'm in this
[6:25] Speaker 4: stall and I'm by myself. No one's else is in there,
[6:27] Speaker 4: and I was just like, my life is over. Like
[6:29] Speaker 4: for some reason, I thought this would get out and
[6:31] Speaker 4: people would be like, she's a liability and it was
[6:33] Speaker 4: just felt it was wrapped up in my eating disorder
[6:35] Speaker 4: at the time too, Like fainting is like really like
[6:38] Speaker 4: I had been anarexic for so many years and never
[6:40] Speaker 4: fainted and kind of prided myself on it because that's
[6:42] Speaker 4: when people are like, you need help, you're fainting, and
[6:44] Speaker 4: I like never got to that level. So this is
[6:46] Speaker 4: the first time that I was like, oh god, my
[6:48] Speaker 4: disease is like ruining my life and making it so
[6:50] Speaker 4: I can't stand up, Like this is embarrassing, so I would.
[6:54] Speaker 4: Then I was in. Then I got surge of anger,
[6:57] Speaker 4: anger because I was so embarrassed, you know, like that
[6:59] Speaker 4: Dane Cook joke of like when you trip and you're
[7:00] Speaker 4: like what the fuck with like the side where you
[7:03] Speaker 4: get like mad at whatever's behind you, but you're really
[7:05] Speaker 4: just so embarrassed. So then I just was like filled
[7:08] Speaker 4: with anger because I was just like so fucked too
[7:10] Speaker 4: many feelings. And I burst out the doors of the
[7:13] Speaker 4: women's room and I go fucking out to this room
[7:17] Speaker 4: of people that are just like sitting there with it
[7:20] Speaker 4: waiting for me to come out because they're worried.
[7:22] Speaker 3: But I didn't end.
[7:23] Speaker 4: And then I shot straight to the right and I
[7:25] Speaker 4: went into the kitchen to be like that, I hate blocked,
[7:29] Speaker 4: Like I was just like crazy yelling I'm not this
[7:32] Speaker 4: type of person. But it was just an overwhelming I've
[7:35] Speaker 4: never felt so embarrassed. I've never had something happen to
[7:37] Speaker 4: me like that. I came to my senses inside I'm
[7:42] Speaker 4: like stuffing bread into my face in the kitchen, and
[7:44] Speaker 4: then I'm like, oh my god, there's only one way
[7:46] Speaker 4: out of this kitchen. I gotta go back through. And
[7:49] Speaker 4: I was so already like calmed down to feel like
[7:52] Speaker 4: that was really embarrassing. How I like just that it happened,
[7:55] Speaker 4: but also how I responded like this is awful. And
[7:58] Speaker 4: so then I just he bishly walked out of the
[8:03] Speaker 4: room and everyone like applauded, and I was like, oh god, ever,
[8:07] Speaker 4: now I'm getting credit for like we're walking. This was
[8:10] Speaker 4: so embarrassing. And then I had to convince them all
[8:12] Speaker 4: I was okay to drive home. I'm like, no, I swear,
[8:15] Speaker 4: but I couldn't say what it was. I was like
[8:16] Speaker 4: it was because I didn't eat all day, Like I
[8:17] Speaker 4: was just too embarrassed of it. But yeah, and then
[8:21] Speaker 4: that has happened to me one other time, but I knew.
[8:23] Speaker 4: I like took an edible once in Montreal actually, but
[8:26] Speaker 4: years and years later, and it hadn't had nothing to
[8:28] Speaker 4: do with my diet. But like an edible kicked in
[8:31] Speaker 4: as I was on stage because the show was earlier
[8:33] Speaker 4: than I thought, and I wanted to kick in when
[8:35] Speaker 4: I was on a treadmill, but instead I missed. I
[8:38] Speaker 4: think called me while I was on a treadmill and
[8:39] Speaker 4: we're like, you're up next, and I'm like, what the fuck?
[8:41] Speaker 4: So I ran over to the theater and I was like,
[8:43] Speaker 4: I didn't eat again. I didn't eat and i'd you know,
[8:45] Speaker 4: a snack beforehand, and the edible kicked on in stage
[8:48] Speaker 4: and I was just like on stage, I go, I
[8:50] Speaker 4: think I'm gonna faint, so I'm gonna hold onto the stool.
[8:52] Speaker 4: I'm gonna be right back, but I do need the
[8:55] Speaker 4: house to come back. And I'm like not really making sense.
[8:57] Speaker 4: And Robert Kelly is downstairs after it just brought me
[9:00] Speaker 4: on stage. He's downstairs taking a shit in the bowels
[9:03] Speaker 4: of this like content of this like castle, you know,
[9:06] Speaker 4: like Saint Kathleen or whatever it is. So he was
[9:09] Speaker 4: like midship and everyone's like, you got to go back
[9:11] Speaker 4: to health scare, She's gonna faint. Then I walked off
[9:13] Speaker 4: stage and I just chugged a coke. That was easier
[9:16] Speaker 4: because I was just like, I've been through this before,
[9:17] Speaker 4: this happens and it didn't. But just totally fainting is
[9:21] Speaker 4: was the It was the worst moment of my life.
[9:23] Speaker 1: I think that's one is that when you started getting
[9:26] Speaker 1: help for your eating disorder, no you kept.
[9:29] Speaker 4: Going yeah, like because it wasn't.
[9:32] Speaker 3: Rock bottom, I can go farther deeper.
[9:34] Speaker 4: There wasn't time to hit rock bottom because I had
[9:35] Speaker 4: to go to Montreal Comedy Festival. I'm not gonna start
[9:37] Speaker 4: like going to meetings right on that or whatever I
[9:40] Speaker 4: needed to.
[9:40] Speaker 3: Mean, like around that time, were.
[9:42] Speaker 4: You like, oh, you know, no, because it was off
[9:44] Speaker 4: and on. Like mine would just always switch. I'd go
[9:46] Speaker 4: from like starving myself to over exercising to then binging
[9:49] Speaker 4: to throwing up to so it just would like change,
[9:53] Speaker 4: it would morph. Getting Actually I got actual help when
[9:56] Speaker 4: I was really really sick and almost died. Like that
[9:58] Speaker 4: was years prior, when I was nineteen twenty. I like
[10:01] Speaker 4: really got out of the phases where it was going
[10:03] Speaker 4: to kill me. And then I which is so.
[10:05] Speaker 1: Great, like your hair falling out and stuff.
[10:07] Speaker 4: Oh yeah, like I was hospitalized and stuff. It was
[10:09] Speaker 4: it was gnarly. I was gonna die.
[10:11] Speaker 3: I didn't know it was that bad.
[10:12] Speaker 4: Yeah, it was so bad. But I got out of it,
[10:14] Speaker 4: and then I started doing stand up and with it
[10:15] Speaker 4: kind of.
[10:15] Speaker 2: Bumming me out.
[10:16] Speaker 4: I'm gonna be honest with you, like, I'm sorry.
[10:18] Speaker 3: Do you have any idea what I'm going through right now?
[10:21] Speaker 4: This is always happens to me when I start telling
[10:24] Speaker 4: my truth. My whole life is just me trying to
[10:28] Speaker 4: tell people this, and I'm just being like I was
[10:30] Speaker 4: having a really good day and I'm just trying to
[10:32] Speaker 4: keep it high vibes. I'm like, you wanted to know.
[10:37] Speaker 3: That's hard core. I didn't know it was like hardcore
[10:40] Speaker 3: like that.
[10:40] Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, I got out of like I'm not going
[10:41] Speaker 4: to die from this so I can still do comedy,
[10:43] Speaker 4: because I cared enough about comedy that I was like,
[10:44] Speaker 4: I don't want to die from this. Before I was like,
[10:46] Speaker 4: please kill me. This is hell because I couldn't eat.
[10:49] Speaker 3: Where did that come from?
[10:50] Speaker 2: You know?
[10:50] Speaker 4: Being insecure, being a perfectionist OCD, losing a friend of
[10:56] Speaker 4: suicide in high school? Oh, you didn't being scared to
[10:59] Speaker 4: leave home, around college, not feeling like I had any talent,
[11:02] Speaker 4: not being able to pursue it. Like it was just
[11:04] Speaker 4: stemmed from a lot of things of like I need
[11:06] Speaker 4: control in my life, and so it just showed up
[11:09] Speaker 4: in that way of like, oh, I'll just be the
[11:11] Speaker 4: best at not eating, and I really was. I was
[11:13] Speaker 4: quite good at it.
[11:13] Speaker 3: Were you so tired and weak and angry?
[11:15] Speaker 4: Oh dude, it sucks so much. Whenever anyone sees someone
[11:20] Speaker 4: that is anorexic, please have a little compassion for them.
[11:22] Speaker 4: And I know it's like so confusing because you're like,
[11:24] Speaker 4: eat something. All I can tell you is they can't.
[11:26] Speaker 4: It doesn't make sense. And I still don't think it
[11:28] Speaker 4: makes sense when I see people that are that thin.
[11:30] Speaker 4: I'm literally like the same person I used to hate
[11:33] Speaker 4: when they would say it to me and like eat
[11:35] Speaker 4: a cheeseburger, but it it's out of your control and
[11:38] Speaker 4: they're cold and they're hungry, and you know how, you
[11:40] Speaker 4: get like a little bit, you get angry like Snickers commercials.
[11:44] Speaker 4: Picture that all the time, NonStop, and it's never gonna
[11:47] Speaker 4: end because you're never gonna eat again. And you know that,
[11:49] Speaker 4: and so you're in for a lifetime of suffering. There
[11:52] Speaker 4: is no exit.
[11:52] Speaker 3: How do you survive like that?
[11:54] Speaker 4: It's like it sucks, dude.
[11:56] Speaker 1: You need nutrients, your cells need nutrients.
[12:00] Speaker 4: Oh and I was I don't know. Yeah, it's it.
[12:02] Speaker 4: It shocks me.
[12:03] Speaker 2: Now.
[12:04] Speaker 4: Now I'm in a part of my recovery. It's not
[12:06] Speaker 4: like perfect, but I thank god. I'm in a phase
[12:09] Speaker 4: of like, I never get to starve. So if I'm hungry,
[12:12] Speaker 4: I like have to eat. I don't get to like,
[12:14] Speaker 4: I don't get to answer that little part of my
[12:16] Speaker 4: brain where it's like this feels pretty good. You're not
[12:19] Speaker 4: eating right now and you're getting that light headed feeling
[12:21] Speaker 4: and that feels that you're losing weight, Like I don't
[12:23] Speaker 4: get to chase that anymore. So that's like my rule
[12:25] Speaker 4: for myself.
[12:26] Speaker 3: What do you do?
[12:27] Speaker 1: Intuitive?
[12:29] Speaker 4: Yeah, because that but that leads to you being like
[12:31] Speaker 4: I only need to eat once a day and give
[12:33] Speaker 4: an anorexic I, you know, intermittent fasting diet and she
[12:37] Speaker 4: will run with it until it's anorexia.
[12:40] Speaker 2: Sure.
[12:40] Speaker 4: Yeah, because that's what I loved When intermittent fasting came out.
[12:43] Speaker 4: I was like, I'm like never, I mean, I could
[12:47] Speaker 4: be anrexic again. Yeah, it's back, baby, and now it's
[12:50] Speaker 4: got a name, and Joe Rogan's talking about it, and
[12:52] Speaker 4: everyone who's anyone knows that this is like, you know,
[12:55] Speaker 4: Tim Ferris, this is the what weight he's telling us
[12:57] Speaker 4: to do. So it felt I got back into it
[12:59] Speaker 4: and like and then I got out of it again,
[13:02] Speaker 4: but it always comes back. But yeah, that was I
[13:04] Speaker 4: think in terms of bombing, that just that's the most
[13:07] Speaker 4: uncomfortable I've ever been on stage. And I felt really
[13:10] Speaker 4: just bad.
[13:14] Speaker 2: With Arecodre. With Arecodre.
[13:25] Speaker 3: What's the most wasted you ever been on stage?
[13:28] Speaker 1: Oh?
[13:28] Speaker 4: Man, that's a really good question.
[13:30] Speaker 3: Have you been wasted on stage?
[13:31] Speaker 2: Yeah?
[13:32] Speaker 4: For sure?
[13:33] Speaker 3: Like what stone drunk?
[13:34] Speaker 4: What drunk? I used to I quit drinking when I
[13:36] Speaker 4: was twenty seven, but before then I would get pretty
[13:38] Speaker 4: damn wasted and not really ever on stage.
[13:41] Speaker 3: I remember we used to call you wasted, Nikki.
[13:44] Speaker 4: No, did you really?
[13:46] Speaker 3: No? No, I don't don't.
[13:47] Speaker 4: I'm not even kidding you. I like, that's why I
[13:50] Speaker 4: quit drinking. And something like this is not a good
[13:51] Speaker 4: look and people will start talking about how you're no
[13:53] Speaker 4: fun to be around, or you're like obnoxious, or you
[13:56] Speaker 4: make you make too many friends, and you like make
[13:58] Speaker 4: too many promises, You're too fun.
[14:00] Speaker 3: When were you like trash hold on stage?
[14:02] Speaker 4: I don't think on stage I can remember because I
[14:04] Speaker 4: used to get black out drunk, you know, So it's
[14:06] Speaker 4: like I don't even know that i'd remember it if
[14:09] Speaker 4: I if I were. I think that there have been
[14:11] Speaker 4: times that I'm like so high on stage, but that's
[14:13] Speaker 4: always like pretty fun and in like a challenge.
[14:16] Speaker 1: So all the blackouts, you don't remember any of them.
[14:18] Speaker 1: Do you remember being super Stone on stage or A?
[14:21] Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, definitely Stone. But I think stoned is like
[14:24] Speaker 4: I don't get anxious from doing stand up anymore. So
[14:26] Speaker 4: sometimes I smoke a little weed beforehand because I like,
[14:28] Speaker 4: I think the feeling of anxiety of being like I'm
[14:31] Speaker 4: nervous about this performance like makes me a better comedian
[14:34] Speaker 4: and a better performer because I care. So sometimes I
[14:37] Speaker 4: smoke a little weed so that I get like, oh,
[14:40] Speaker 4: what if something happens. It feels like I'm kind of
[14:42] Speaker 4: walking on a tight rope out there, and like whoa,
[14:45] Speaker 4: I'm like controlling this train of thought, which is like
[14:47] Speaker 4: you're so high right now, and I have to do
[14:48] Speaker 4: this train of thought, which is like what are you
[14:49] Speaker 4: going to say next? And then also like what am
[14:51] Speaker 4: I saying right now? And it feels like I'm like
[14:53] Speaker 4: an acrobat, like I feel I feel alive. When I
[14:56] Speaker 4: feel like I'm shoplifting or something, it feels like I'm
[14:58] Speaker 4: getting away with something.
[15:01] Speaker 1: Have you ever like done like a fucking hundred milligram
[15:05] Speaker 1: chocolate chip cookie or something on stage?
[15:09] Speaker 3: Oh?
[15:10] Speaker 1: Fuck man, No.
[15:12] Speaker 4: My biggest fear is being out of control in front
[15:16] Speaker 4: of people, like anyone witnessing. That's why fainting was so awful.
[15:19] Speaker 4: So I would never do that, like.
[15:21] Speaker 1: When Fergie Peter pants.
[15:24] Speaker 4: Oh my god, dude, I wouldn't mind that. There's been
[15:26] Speaker 4: times on stage where I've almost had like, Okay, so
[15:29] Speaker 4: women when we're on our period, like sometimes you just
[15:32] Speaker 4: start it or you in the middle that you run
[15:34] Speaker 4: out of tampons, and so you make a pad with
[15:36] Speaker 4: like you roll up toilet paper around your hand and
[15:39] Speaker 4: you make like a makeshift pad with toilet paper that
[15:41] Speaker 4: will soak enough of it, like unless you're like, you know, hamorrhaging.
[15:44] Speaker 4: This is disgusting, So I know, I'm so sorry, and
[15:48] Speaker 4: so you put it in your underwear. But one time
[15:51] Speaker 4: I was on stage and it was I was just
[15:52] Speaker 4: wearing a song, so it's just like a little string
[15:54] Speaker 4: and it's not like a whole underwear thing holding it in,
[15:57] Speaker 4: and it was starting to fall out and like unwrap
[16:00] Speaker 4: a bloody coming yeah on stage, But I caught it
[16:05] Speaker 4: in my thighs. I closed them shut and was able
[16:08] Speaker 4: to like wiggle and walk up stands. Show that has
[16:10] Speaker 4: happened where I've and I'd be like, what would I
[16:12] Speaker 4: fucking say? What would I do? I don't even know?
[16:15] Speaker 1: But you should have just let it drop and been like,
[16:18] Speaker 1: who wants some vampire tea?
[16:20] Speaker 4: I think I would. I think I would lead into
[16:23] Speaker 4: it now, But at the time it was like the
[16:25] Speaker 4: most mortifying thing that could ever happen. Now, I don't
[16:29] Speaker 4: care if my strings hanging out, it's like who who cares?
[16:33] Speaker 4: Who cares? As someone's like your tampon string, it's like, oh,
[16:35] Speaker 4: so I use a tampon, Like it doesn't I don't.
[16:38] Speaker 4: I don't wander to say, like panty lines, people are
[16:40] Speaker 4: like your panty lines showing It's like, yeah, I don't
[16:43] Speaker 4: want to get ship on this pair of pants I
[16:45] Speaker 4: want or I don't.
[16:46] Speaker 1: Want to, like is that true? Like panty lines?
[16:48] Speaker 4: Are shit, but like, I don't want to get like
[16:51] Speaker 4: pussy juice on my pants, so I'm wearing underwear like
[16:54] Speaker 4: most people do. What is the crime?
[16:56] Speaker 3: Are panty lines like taboo or something?
[16:59] Speaker 4: Yeah, pant That's why were thongs because you don't want
[17:01] Speaker 4: to see like it's slicing your butt cheek in half,
[17:03] Speaker 4: and it kind of makes like for a bet, you
[17:05] Speaker 4: know it's better just like look like you're like, I
[17:07] Speaker 4: could be wearing nothing under this, and so we wear
[17:09] Speaker 4: these uncomfortable thongs, which I'm getting used to now. It's
[17:11] Speaker 4: like flossing, like you have to get calloused a little bit.
[17:14] Speaker 1: It's like girls make rules for themselves. I don't do
[17:16] Speaker 1: guys notice that?
[17:17] Speaker 2: Is that?
[17:17] Speaker 4: For No, they don't. They don't give a fuck about
[17:19] Speaker 4: a panty line. I mean I think it does look
[17:21] Speaker 4: more aesthetically pleasing in general, like it's kind of a
[17:23] Speaker 4: subconscious thing. But I don't think generally you.
[17:26] Speaker 3: Guys don't notice anything. Guys are like, dah, I want beef.
[17:29] Speaker 1: Stood you really don't. Did you see fast the Furious
[17:33] Speaker 1: seventy five The car went room room when the other

[19:33] Speaker 4: dollars to have this food delivered to me and driven
[19:36] Speaker 4: across town. Like I waste money on the thing that
[19:39] Speaker 4: I'm choosing over the.
[19:40] Speaker 1: Free thing in front of me.

[19:55] Speaker 1: perfect way. I was about to have like the sex
[19:58] Speaker 1: of my life, but I ordered a fried chicken sandwich,
[20:01] Speaker 1: first ate it, and then passed out before before no, okay,
[20:06] Speaker 1: I'll just tell it. I was about to have group
[20:08] Speaker 1: sex and I've never had group sex, and I was like,
[20:10] Speaker 1: it is I was like dating this girl that was
[20:12] Speaker 1: particularly freaky, and like right before the other two gals
[20:16] Speaker 1: came over, we ordered fried chicken sandwiches.
[20:18] Speaker 3: We ate the fried chicken.
[20:19] Speaker 1: Sandwiches, and we both passed out, and like the girl,
[20:23] Speaker 1: I woke up the next morning to like fifty five
[20:26] Speaker 1: miss calls and I was like, I just missed out
[20:28] Speaker 1: on the best sexual ex potentially the best sexual experience
[20:32] Speaker 1: of my life because I ate like half a sangwich
[20:35] Speaker 1: and passed out drunk. It was like I was like,
[20:40] Speaker 1: and I was like, and it'll never come back again.
[20:42] Speaker 1: I was like, I'll never be No, maybe, but I.
[20:44] Speaker 4: Don't think it was meant to be. If that really
[20:46] Speaker 4: mattered to you, you would not have chosen sleep and
[20:49] Speaker 4: food were you so drunk and tired.
[20:51] Speaker 1: I was drunk going through a breakup, hooked up, and
[20:55] Speaker 1: I like got back with this.
[20:57] Speaker 4: Gal that you ad that night. This is all meant
[21:03] Speaker 4: to be. I'm serious, let's just think of it that way.

[21:08] Speaker 4: Be judgmental of anyone with AIDS. Everyone wants it and
[21:11] Speaker 4: it's fine to be to have it, but with it,
[21:18] Speaker 4: I'm just trying to be accepting of those with AIDS. Listening.
[21:21] Speaker 4: We all we all are cool with you having AIDS
[21:23] Speaker 4: and we want it to but yeah, we do try
[21:27] Speaker 4: to avoid it normally. That's I think that's meant to be.
[21:30] Speaker 4: But you'll have group sex again.
[21:32] Speaker 2: I don't know.
[21:33] Speaker 3: I think that was a sign.
[21:34] Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe it wasn't a thing you should be that
[21:36] Speaker 4: you need to have any life.

[22:50] Speaker 3: This is why I didn't want to poison your virgineers.
[22:52] Speaker 4: With my You want to hear what I did. This
[22:53] Speaker 4: is one of the coolest things I've ever done. Because
[22:55] Speaker 4: I love strippers. But I don't like going to strippers
[22:57] Speaker 4: strip clubs because I don't want like them to like
[23:00] Speaker 4: try to flirt with me, like I don't like when

[23:13] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[23:13] Speaker 4: I wish I could be like invisible in trip clubs
[23:15] Speaker 4: because I like watching guys become that kind of like
[23:18] Speaker 4: they're kind of stupid and these women are all like
[23:20] Speaker 4: walking around powerfully. But my boyfriend was in London and
[23:24] Speaker 4: I was not gonna be able to see him for
[23:27] Speaker 4: his birthday, and it was like kind of a bummer
[23:28] Speaker 4: because I had to get surgery and so it was
[23:30] Speaker 4: just like I just can't be there. It's gonna be fun,
[23:32] Speaker 4: you're gonna go out with your friends, but I wish
[23:34] Speaker 4: I could be there and that What he didn't know
[23:36] Speaker 4: was I was gonna plan it and I was having
[23:38] Speaker 4: surgery soon after that, but I was gonna just come
[23:39] Speaker 4: in for twelve hours and leave the next day.
[23:42] Speaker 3: And we're getting surgery in London.
[23:44] Speaker 4: No, I was getting surgery in Boston. So that's why
[23:45] Speaker 4: I couldn't go to London. It was like this was
[23:47] Speaker 4: on a Monday night and I was getting surgery on Thursday,
[23:49] Speaker 4: so I was like, I just can't make it, babe,
[23:50] Speaker 4: I'm so sorry. But then I decided to go to London.
[23:54] Speaker 4: I talked to his friends, I told that he was
[23:56] Speaker 4: with and I was like, Okay, I am coming to town.
[23:59] Speaker 4: Bring him to a strip club, get him a lap dance,
[24:01] Speaker 4: and then I'm gonna come out dresses a stripper in
[24:03] Speaker 4: this dark room and like surprise him and is so good, right,
[24:08] Speaker 4: So because I like when he goes stripperlubs, like I
[24:11] Speaker 4: kind of into that kind of thing, so I was like,
[24:13] Speaker 4: this will be perfect, and I know he likes them.
[24:14] Speaker 4: So they went and got him and brought him to one,
[24:16] Speaker 4: and I went. I flew to London that day and
[24:18] Speaker 4: like went to Zara and got like this stripperiest outfit,
[24:21] Speaker 4: which you can surprisingly find at Zara, a pretty good
[24:23] Speaker 4: stripper outfit.
[24:24] Speaker 3: Tell me something I don't know, honey, and.
[24:26] Speaker 4: Then got a wit. I had already bought a wig,
[24:29] Speaker 4: and I went and I went there early and met
[24:32] Speaker 4: with some strippers to like tell them the plan, and
[24:35] Speaker 4: they were like, okay, we'll get him. And I didn't
[24:37] Speaker 4: know this in London that lap dances they can't touch you,
[24:39] Speaker 4: so you just get a room with someone and then
[24:41] Speaker 4: they just like dance in front of you, which is
[24:43] Speaker 4: like who would pay for that?
[24:45] Speaker 1: Constitution's legal in it, and the strippers can't touch you,
[24:49] Speaker 1: the cat, then you can pay a woman to have
[24:51] Speaker 1: sex with you.
[24:51] Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it seemed to be on that, you know,
[24:53] Speaker 4: that kind of system. But they were very adamant like
[24:55] Speaker 4: we can't touch them, which bummed me out because I
[24:58] Speaker 4: wanted to walk in while he's like get lap dance
[25:00] Speaker 4: from these girls and be like I'm gonna come in now,
[25:02] Speaker 4: you know, like and just be a sassy stripper to
[25:04] Speaker 4: be like get off ladies, and then it's his girlfriend.
[25:07] Speaker 4: It'll be fun. But they're just like dancing in front
[25:08] Speaker 4: of him and they come to get me. And then
[25:10] Speaker 4: I walk into the room that he's in with these
[25:12] Speaker 4: two girls and they're like, here's our friend, and he
[25:16] Speaker 4: like gets up to like shake my hand. It was
[25:18] Speaker 4: really nice. It was like mad to meet you the
[25:20] Speaker 4: way that you would want your boyfriend to greet a stripper.
[25:23] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[25:24] Speaker 3: Yeah, he passed the test.
[25:25] Speaker 4: He was like, hey, I'm Chris, nice to meet you,
[25:27] Speaker 4: and I go I'm nicky, and he was just like,
[25:29] Speaker 4: what the fuck? And I was topless too, because I
[25:32] Speaker 4: wasn't gonna be topless because I was like, I don't
[25:33] Speaker 4: want to be topless around other people. But both the
[25:35] Speaker 4: strippers were topless, so right before it went in, I
[25:37] Speaker 4: was like, I'm just gonna like commit to this. So
[25:40] Speaker 4: it was really fun that I got to be a
[25:41] Speaker 4: stripper for a little bit. But as soon as I
[25:43] Speaker 4: got up to him, then.
[25:44] Speaker 1: His wife came in and you were like, who is this?
[25:49] Speaker 4: As soon as I touched him, though, the security guards
[25:51] Speaker 4: were like, get off him because they thought I was
[25:53] Speaker 4: a real stripper, so it was pretty flattered.
[25:55] Speaker 1: Wow, congrats, thanks.
[25:58] Speaker 4: I was like yeah, and then we then we got
[26:01] Speaker 4: out of there, but it was it was really fun.
[26:03] Speaker 4: But I love strip clubs and have no problem with
[26:05] Speaker 4: you going there, and and and uh, I think it's
[26:07] Speaker 4: cool too.
[26:09] Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, feels are fun. I felt particularly shy and
[26:13] Speaker 1: vulnerable to it's telling such a tail in front of
[26:17] Speaker 1: my co workers.
[26:19] Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that that could be it. That's always the
[26:21] Speaker 4: thing about podcasts is like if we're having a conversation
[26:23] Speaker 4: that we would have if we were alone, but there's
[26:25] Speaker 4: right now four other people just listening quietly, so just
[26:31] Speaker 4: like if we were just thinking about the audience, we
[26:32] Speaker 4: maybe wouldn't care, but like do just having one person
[26:35] Speaker 4: be there's a couple of people in the same I'm
[26:37] Speaker 4: alone in my room, thank god, but like I know
[26:39] Speaker 4: that on zoom and like in your room, there's there's
[26:41] Speaker 4: other people that are.
[26:42] Speaker 1: I'm like in an office right now, you know what
[26:44] Speaker 1: I mean. Like, I'm like, it's so weird.
[26:47] Speaker 4: Yes, okay, well, thank you for sharing that with us.
[26:49] Speaker 1: Four Yeah. Also, the end of the story just be
[26:53] Speaker 1: like taking a nap. It's at the end of the
[26:55] Speaker 1: story was like, hell yeah, I got fucking late hardcore,
[27:00] Speaker 1: I gizzed everywhere.
[27:02] Speaker 3: Then you'd be like, ah, geez.
[27:04] Speaker 1: But the end of the stories, I hate a sandwich
[27:06] Speaker 1: and I took an eight hour nap. It's like super
[27:10] Speaker 1: perfectly lame. I was trying to be like, I don't know.
[27:15] Speaker 4: You're so almost cool.
[27:17] Speaker 1: Yeah, I was so almost cool and I was close.
[27:21] Speaker 3: Blame middle aged man.
[27:25] Speaker 2: With aercdre with aer codre.
[27:37] Speaker 1: What's the worst bomb you've ever seen that you would
[27:39] Speaker 1: you didn't experience personally.
[27:41] Speaker 4: But okay, can I just I'm not gonna name names,
[27:44] Speaker 4: but I saw one name names. You can I saw
[27:46] Speaker 4: one recently. Dude, it was so funny because I had
[27:49] Speaker 4: never seen this guy before.
[27:50] Speaker 3: We can also bleep the name.
[27:51] Speaker 4: Well, I saw this guy. I don't think we need
[27:54] Speaker 4: to say his name because it honestly doesn't.
[27:55] Speaker 1: It's not a Bastian.
[27:58] Speaker 4: No, I didn't know how popular this guy was when
[28:00] Speaker 4: I saw him. I'd never seen him before. But he's
[28:02] Speaker 4: a big deal and he's more of like a TikTok guy.
[28:05] Speaker 4: But it's not Matt Ryth either.
[28:07] Speaker 3: Can text after this.
[28:08] Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll tell you exactly. It's not even gonna be
[28:11] Speaker 4: that exciting because you'll be able to see what I'm
[28:12] Speaker 4: talking about. Almost Emily. I don't know exactly, but he's
[28:17] Speaker 4: a bit like he's got a lot of followers. He's
[28:18] Speaker 4: got like he sells out theaters, like he does well
[28:20] Speaker 4: for himself, and he's like, I didn't know he was
[28:22] Speaker 4: a big deal. He's actually really nice. But I went up.
[28:24] Speaker 4: I was at the lat Factory one night not that
[28:26] Speaker 4: long ago, and he no one in the crowd really
[28:29] Speaker 4: knew of his fame and his He just was bombing
[28:32] Speaker 4: so badly, and there was a guy that was heckling him.
[28:35] Speaker 4: And because he's a crowd work guy, and so that's
[28:36] Speaker 4: his bread and butter. But he just lost, like he
[28:39] Speaker 4: couldn't handle this guy. That was just I forget, I
[28:41] Speaker 4: really forget the context of it, but it was so
[28:44] Speaker 4: hard to watch and so uncomfortable to be in the
[28:46] Speaker 4: room with, Like it was a massive, massive bomb for
[28:49] Speaker 4: very for a very long time. He which seemed very
[28:52] Speaker 4: shaken by it. He couldn't keep he couldn't get it
[28:55] Speaker 4: back up. And I got the impression that, you know,
[28:58] Speaker 4: the other comics in the room, it meant something to
[29:00] Speaker 4: him that we were witnessing this, and I felt really bad.
[29:02] Speaker 4: I almost wanted to leave because I just didn't want
[29:04] Speaker 4: him to know that I knew that he like sucked
[29:06] Speaker 4: because the first time I'm seeing him, so I just
[29:07] Speaker 4: think this guy sucks. Right, turns out he's like very
[29:10] Speaker 4: good at crowd work, and it's which I do think
[29:12] Speaker 4: is a talent that I don't have. But this was
[29:14] Speaker 4: just an offset for him.
[29:15] Speaker 1: This crowd work now the cool thing because when we
[29:17] Speaker 1: were coming up, like I would do crowd work and
[29:19] Speaker 1: people and people will be like, don't do crowd work.
[29:22] Speaker 1: Crowd work's easy. You're not allow It was like, you're
[29:24] Speaker 1: not allowed to do crowd work.
[29:25] Speaker 4: Since when is something that's branded easy, Like not anything
[29:29] Speaker 4: that's easy. People go, you can't do it. It's like,
[29:31] Speaker 4: actually it works, though it sorry comes easy to me,
[29:34] Speaker 4: Like I don't. It doesn't come easy to me. Crowd
[29:35] Speaker 4: work to me is like very scary and difficult. I
[29:39] Speaker 4: don't even do it. So I think when it's done well,
[29:42] Speaker 4: it's really impressive. I think when it's like worthless clips
[29:44] Speaker 4: on Instagram.
[29:45] Speaker 3: I'm so discouraged. I remember yea was religion.
[29:49] Speaker 4: Because people were threatened by it, because it's it's I
[29:51] Speaker 4: think people that are I'm a joke writer, they're like,
[29:54] Speaker 4: I don't really, I'm not good off the cuff, and
[29:56] Speaker 4: I'm speaking for me. We're like, we want to make
[29:59] Speaker 4: you feel bad about this thing that you do well,
[30:01] Speaker 4: and so we're like, if you do that, you're a
[30:02] Speaker 4: hack because we can't do it, and where you must
[30:05] Speaker 4: write a joke and prepare. So I think that's where
[30:08] Speaker 4: it comes from. But now it's more acceptable as it
[30:10] Speaker 4: should be. I think it's a cool talent.
[30:12] Speaker 3: I think it's cool too. I always thought it was cool.
[30:14] Speaker 3: I was like, why not, might not be spentous.
[30:15] Speaker 4: And Saudius is fucking love it.
[30:17] Speaker 1: It works.
[30:19] Speaker 4: But if something's easy, people go it's not real stand up,
[30:23] Speaker 4: like talking about sex too much, it's too easy. It's like,
[30:26] Speaker 4: is that easy?
[30:27] Speaker 3: I never thought it was easy.
[30:28] Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not easy.
[30:29] Speaker 1: I never thought it was easy. No, that's the criticism
[30:31] Speaker 1: that it got.
[30:32] Speaker 4: You're right, that is it. Let's make it clear. It's
[30:35] Speaker 4: not easy.
[30:36] Speaker 3: It's not easy, but people.
[30:37] Speaker 4: Say it is. And that's what I say about when
[30:39] Speaker 4: people brand a lot of comedians as sex comics, like
[30:42] Speaker 4: myself of like all they talk about sex or like
[30:44] Speaker 4: they're just raunchy. And I think people think you do
[30:47] Speaker 4: it because it's easy, and it is easy for me
[30:50] Speaker 4: to talk about my sex life and make fun of it.
[30:52] Speaker 4: But I don't think it's easy for most people. And
[30:54] Speaker 4: I do think that is therein is some kind of talent,
[30:57] Speaker 4: whether I.
[30:58] Speaker 1: You know, nothing's easy, nothing, but people like to.
[31:02] Speaker 4: Say things are easy because they can't do it. And
[31:04] Speaker 4: it's like, maybe you you're not a dirty comic because
[31:06] Speaker 4: you don't have the balls to be one. Maybe not
[31:08] Speaker 4: because it's so easy to be a dirty comic. Maybe
[31:10] Speaker 4: you're not one because it's not easy for you, whereas
[31:13] Speaker 4: being a clean comic is not easy for me. But
[31:15] Speaker 4: just because thing's easy. I don't want to watch people
[31:18] Speaker 4: I like do things that are hard for them. I
[31:20] Speaker 4: don't want to watch Jerry Seinfeld play the Obo, like
[31:23] Speaker 4: just because that would be hard for him. I'm not like, Wow,
[31:25] Speaker 4: like doing comedy is easy for him. It takes a
[31:28] Speaker 4: lot of work. But like, why does everyone We always
[31:30] Speaker 4: want to see someone doing something that's so hard, you know,
[31:33] Speaker 4: Like that's what bugs me when people say it's easy
[31:36] Speaker 4: for her. It's like, yeah, that's me because I'm inclined
[31:38] Speaker 4: to do this thing that's you know, I'm going in
[31:40] Speaker 4: the direction of what my personality is, Like I talk
[31:43] Speaker 4: about sex. But so I saw this guy bomb, yeah,
[31:46] Speaker 4: and I think it was really good because he'll never
[31:50] Speaker 4: be impressive to me after seeing that, Like, he will
[31:53] Speaker 4: never I will never have I will never respect him.
[31:55] Speaker 4: Why because I think sometimes when it's not like I
[31:59] Speaker 4: will I respect him him. I'll never be intimidated by
[32:04] Speaker 4: him because I've seen him faint essentially, you know what
[32:07] Speaker 4: I mean, Like he'll never be able to show boat
[32:09] Speaker 4: around me or act.
[32:10] Speaker 3: Like he's you've seen his human moment.
[32:11] Speaker 4: Yeah, I know he can suck sometimes.
[32:13] Speaker 1: So like like my friend was like anytime you want
[32:15] Speaker 1: to talk to a Hawk girl, just imagine them taking
[32:18] Speaker 1: a ship.
[32:19] Speaker 3: They all do it.
[32:20] Speaker 4: I saw this guy take a dump, and many people
[32:21] Speaker 4: have seen me take a dump, and it's so you
[32:24] Speaker 4: can't get out of your head. But because it was
[32:25] Speaker 4: the first thing I saw of him, it's cemented. It's
[32:27] Speaker 4: kind of like you can't go back to your home
[32:28] Speaker 4: club because you bomb there so much. That's all they
[32:30] Speaker 4: remember you from. H is being awkward on stage, so
[32:34] Speaker 4: I think that bomb. I was like, I felt bad
[32:37] Speaker 4: for him, but it was Ever since then, he's killed,
[32:40] Speaker 4: absolutely murdered, like hard to follow murdered. But I'm always like, no,
[32:44] Speaker 4: I saw you fucking so you have no exit strategy.
[32:50] Speaker 4: There was no rescuing you. It was so bad and
[32:53] Speaker 4: I hope that never happens to me again, but it
[32:55] Speaker 4: definitely will. And that's the part about stand up comedy
[32:57] Speaker 4: that's fun. I have to go to that is that
[33:04] Speaker 4: the buzzer.
[33:07] Speaker 3: Uh Nikki. I love you so much.
[33:10] Speaker 4: I love you Eric so much. Thank you. It was
[33:12] Speaker 4: so fun to talk.
