Eric and his pod-sister, Nikki Glaser (host of F-Boy Island on the CW), discuss the time she fainted on stage at Just for Laughs along with other embarrassing moments performing in front of audiences. Stories include a makeshift maxi-pad out of toilet paper, witnessing a bomb of the century from an Internet celebrity, when she surprised her boyfriend by disguising herself as a stripper, and Eric's tale of almost having the most awesome sex of his life.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Bombing with aeric Andre.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Do you know the premise of this podcast is called Bombing?
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I do.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
I've thought about some bombs.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
And I just want to know what the worst bomb
you've ever had is.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I think I black out. Really bad things happened to me, but.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Black it back in Girl, Wipe It in Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
But the worst time I fainted on stage was probably
the biggest I've ever bombed.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
You fainted on stage live, That's my worst nightmare.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
It was the first time I ever fainted. I didn't
even know it could be a thing that I would
ever happen to me, and it was. It was so bad.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
What happened. I was doing a gig.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
It was two thousand and seven. It was right before
the Montreal Comedy Festival, right before that week, and I
had got New Faces, which is a thing that's like
welcome to the industry. It's Nicky Glazer, and it's like
you're being presented. It's so much pressure going to Montreal
to get flown out there. It's like you're you really
feel like it's your like star search moment. You're one chance,
(01:47):
you're one shot.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
They fly you out spirit air, middle seat, three connecting plates.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah, they dive you. No predamn, it's uh. And then
you do one five minute set, so.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
You had to pay for your own hotel.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
I think you actually did at some point.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I don't even pay for you to go.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
And you do five minutes on a packed show with
fifteen other people and Tom Poppa is hosting, and you
go out into a crowd of French people in the
industry and they're not great and the room is big
and echoey and weird. And I was too young. The
thing is, you want to be old in your class
of new faces. What year do you go?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
You want to be the best, and whoever's the best
is usually the oldest. What you don't want to be
the old old man? That is like we have one novels,
like sixty year old fan, But you want to be
the person who's been doing stand up the longest relatively.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Yeah, I didn't think about that. Maybe I went too early.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
A lot of us did.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I did Aspen Comedy Festival. Yeah, okay, hbo Aspen Company
Festival in two thousand and six. I'd been doing comedy
for three years.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Oh wow, wait, so that you did?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Not?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
That did not pop you.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I'm still working a temp job and waiting tables.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
It helped, it did help.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I got an agent on them.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, I got an agent. It was the first time
I got like representation. But I wasn't making Buckoo Box
at all.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
You didn't sign any deals did.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Not sign any deals. No, so wait you how did
you faint?
Speaker 4 (03:12):
So weeks leading up to this, I was so nervous,
so I was having like a raging eating disorder. I
was like not eating all day, and then I was
like running after work and I was temping at a
jobs and I was falling asleep constantly because I was
so malnourished, and I was smoking so much weed, and
just like literally my diet was like weed and like
a froio every day. And then sometimes I'd let myself
eat a full meal if I was getting it for free,
because I was doing a show where they give you
(03:35):
a meal, and that would be by my one, like
I'm gonna go bananas because it's free. So I was
doing Hennesses, which is a restaurant in Dana Point, which
is like in the o C. And I had drove
there after work. I also had run after work and
smoked weed right before I left, so I drive down there.
I haven't eaten all day.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Fucking it, You're wild, wild.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Out of control, trying to have so much control, thinking
I'm killing it.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Did you drink in these days?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
I did, but I I wasn't planning on drinking. Then
I think when I was in control phases of like
I gotta lock it in. I'm doing Montreal, I would
like lessen the drinking, weed, smoke, more diet, like control
control and so, and I think drinking was like that
will make me fat. So I was just like I
thought being skinny enough was gonna get me something there
or make me funnier. I don't know what the fuck.
So I got to the show and I was I
(04:23):
was like, I knew that I was feeling weak, and
I was like, I need to order. So I ordered
right away and they go, you can go up next,
and I was like, I really need to eat something,
and They're like, just go up next and then your food.
I'll be ready when you're done. I was like, okay,
So I go up and right when I'm up there,
I start to kind of feel like, oh God, but
I don't know the feeling, and I'm kind of having
cognitive issues for the first time I think ever, maybe
(04:43):
where like you can't think of what you're saying, and
you don't at first, you start panicking because you're like,
why am I not thinking what I'm saying? So then
you can't think of what you're saying because you're panicking
about you're not thinking so it. And then the tunnel
vision started and that's when I was like, oh, oh,
systems are shutting down. And I just said to the
front row, I was like I think I'm gonna faint,
and I go, is that is that awkward? And then
(05:06):
this woman just goes yeah, and I was like it
is and then I just boom. And then I had
a dream that I was in the ocean and that
I was like washing up on the shore, but it
was like me like falling against this like fucking railing
that was behind me because there was nothing else. And
then it was the guys like coming up to catch
me because I was like just crumpled on stage. And
then I had a dream after the waves crashing, which
(05:27):
lasted a really long time. I had a dream that
I fainted on stage and I was like that's embarrassing.
And then you know when you wake up from a
dream and you're like thank God that didn't happen, like
you're like yes, So I just I had that moment
of like, oh I got it in faint on stage,
and then I woke up and I'm like, oh, it's real,
and it was like the worst realization. It was I've
never had it where you think a nightmare is a
(05:48):
nightmare and and then it turns into real It was
the first time, and I was it was so embarrassing.
The room was dead quiet. I think I woke up
from like the quiet, and and I was like murmuring
I was abdic into the microphone because I think and
I'm not. I think I just wanted to generate some
kind of excuse that wasn't like I'm anorexic, you know,
like I just think that my brain was trying. So
(06:09):
they were all like, you're diabetic. I'm like, what, No,
And then I ran into the bathroom because I was
so embarrassed. And I'm in the stall and I'm just
like it's right off the stage and there's like hundreds
of people in this room. This is a big and
they're all eating dinner. They're all eating like their shrimp platters,
and it's dead silent on stage and I'm in this
stall and I'm by myself. No one's else is in there,
and I was just like, my life is over. Like
(06:29):
for some reason, I thought this would get out and
people would be like, she's a liability and it was
just felt it was wrapped up in my eating disorder
at the time too, Like fainting is like really like
I had been anarexic for so many years and never
fainted and kind of prided myself on it because that's
when people are like, you need help, you're fainting, and
I like never got to that level. So this is
the first time that I was like, oh god, my
disease is like ruining my life and making it so
(06:50):
I can't stand up, Like this is embarrassing, so I would.
Then I was in. Then I got surge of anger,
anger because I was so embarrassed, you know, like that
Dane Cook joke of like when you trip and you're
like what the fuck with like the side where you
get like mad at whatever's behind you, but you're really
just so embarrassed. So then I just was like filled
with anger because I was just like so fucked too
many feelings. And I burst out the doors of the
(07:13):
women's room and I go fucking out to this room
of people that are just like sitting there with it
waiting for me to come out because they're worried.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
But I didn't end.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
And then I shot straight to the right and I
went into the kitchen to be like that, I hate blocked,
Like I was just like crazy yelling I'm not this
type of person. But it was just an overwhelming I've
never felt so embarrassed. I've never had something happen to
me like that. I came to my senses inside I'm
like stuffing bread into my face in the kitchen, and
(07:44):
then I'm like, oh my god, there's only one way
out of this kitchen. I gotta go back through. And
I was so already like calmed down to feel like
that was really embarrassing. How I like just that it happened,
but also how I responded like this is awful. And
so then I just he bishly walked out of the
room and everyone like applauded, and I was like, oh god, ever,
(08:07):
now I'm getting credit for like we're walking. This was
so embarrassing. And then I had to convince them all
I was okay to drive home. I'm like, no, I swear,
but I couldn't say what it was. I was like
it was because I didn't eat all day, Like I
was just too embarrassed of it. But yeah, and then
that has happened to me one other time, but I knew.
I like took an edible once in Montreal actually, but
years and years later, and it hadn't had nothing to
(08:28):
do with my diet. But like an edible kicked in
as I was on stage because the show was earlier
than I thought, and I wanted to kick in when
I was on a treadmill, but instead I missed. I
think called me while I was on a treadmill and
we're like, you're up next, and I'm like, what the fuck?
So I ran over to the theater and I was like,
I didn't eat again. I didn't eat and i'd you know,
a snack beforehand, and the edible kicked on in stage
(08:48):
and I was just like on stage, I go, I
think I'm gonna faint, so I'm gonna hold onto the stool.
I'm gonna be right back, but I do need the
house to come back. And I'm like not really making sense.
And Robert Kelly is downstairs after it just brought me
on stage. He's downstairs taking a shit in the bowels
of this like content of this like castle, you know,
like Saint Kathleen or whatever it is. So he was
(09:09):
like midship and everyone's like, you got to go back
to health scare, She's gonna faint. Then I walked off
stage and I just chugged a coke. That was easier
because I was just like, I've been through this before,
this happens and it didn't. But just totally fainting is
was the It was the worst moment of my life.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I think that's one is that when you started getting
help for your eating disorder, no you kept.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Going yeah, like because it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Rock bottom, I can go farther deeper.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
There wasn't time to hit rock bottom because I had
to go to Montreal Comedy Festival. I'm not gonna start
like going to meetings right on that or whatever I
needed to.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Mean, like around that time, were.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
You like, oh, you know, no, because it was off
and on. Like mine would just always switch. I'd go
from like starving myself to over exercising to then binging
to throwing up to so it just would like change,
it would morph. Getting Actually I got actual help when
I was really really sick and almost died. Like that
was years prior, when I was nineteen twenty. I like
really got out of the phases where it was going
(10:03):
to kill me. And then I which is so.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Great, like your hair falling out and stuff.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Oh yeah, like I was hospitalized and stuff. It was
it was gnarly. I was gonna die.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I didn't know it was that bad.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Yeah, it was so bad. But I got out of it,
and then I started doing stand up and with it
kind of.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Bumming me out.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I'm gonna be honest with you, like, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Do you have any idea what I'm going through right now?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
This is always happens to me when I start telling
my truth. My whole life is just me trying to
tell people this, and I'm just being like I was
having a really good day and I'm just trying to
keep it high vibes. I'm like, you wanted to know.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
That's hard core. I didn't know it was like hardcore
like that.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yeah, dude, I got out of like I'm not going
to die from this so I can still do comedy,
because I cared enough about comedy that I was like,
I don't want to die from this. Before I was like,
please kill me. This is hell because I couldn't eat.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Where did that come from?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
You know?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Being insecure, being a perfectionist OCD, losing a friend of
suicide in high school? Oh, you didn't being scared to
leave home, around college, not feeling like I had any talent,
not being able to pursue it. Like it was just
stemmed from a lot of things of like I need
control in my life, and so it just showed up
in that way of like, oh, I'll just be the
(11:11):
best at not eating, and I really was. I was
quite good at it.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Were you so tired and weak and angry?
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Oh dude, it sucks so much. Whenever anyone sees someone
that is anorexic, please have a little compassion for them.
And I know it's like so confusing because you're like,
eat something. All I can tell you is they can't.
It doesn't make sense. And I still don't think it
makes sense when I see people that are that thin.
I'm literally like the same person I used to hate
when they would say it to me and like eat
a cheeseburger, but it it's out of your control and
(11:38):
they're cold and they're hungry, and you know how, you
get like a little bit, you get angry like Snickers commercials.
Picture that all the time, NonStop, and it's never gonna
end because you're never gonna eat again. And you know that,
and so you're in for a lifetime of suffering. There
is no exit.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
How do you survive like that?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
It's like it sucks, dude.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
You need nutrients, your cells need nutrients.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Oh and I was I don't know. Yeah, it's it.
It shocks me.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Now.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Now I'm in a part of my recovery. It's not
like perfect, but I thank god. I'm in a phase
of like, I never get to starve. So if I'm hungry,
I like have to eat. I don't get to like,
I don't get to answer that little part of my
brain where it's like this feels pretty good. You're not
eating right now and you're getting that light headed feeling
and that feels that you're losing weight, Like I don't
get to chase that anymore. So that's like my rule
(12:25):
for myself.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Intuitive?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Yeah, because that but that leads to you being like
I only need to eat once a day and give
an anorexic I, you know, intermittent fasting diet and she
will run with it until it's anorexia.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Yeah, because that's what I loved When intermittent fasting came out.
I was like, I'm like never, I mean, I could
be anrexic again. Yeah, it's back, baby, and now it's
got a name, and Joe Rogan's talking about it, and
everyone who's anyone knows that this is like, you know,
Tim Ferris, this is the what weight he's telling us
to do. So it felt I got back into it
and like and then I got out of it again,
(13:02):
but it always comes back. But yeah, that was I
think in terms of bombing, that just that's the most
uncomfortable I've ever been on stage. And I felt really
just bad.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
With Arecodre. With Arecodre.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
What's the most wasted you ever been on stage?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Man, that's a really good question.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Have you been wasted on stage?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
For sure?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Like what stone drunk?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
What drunk? I used to I quit drinking when I
was twenty seven, but before then I would get pretty
damn wasted and not really ever on stage.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I remember we used to call you wasted, Nikki.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
No, did you really?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
No? No, I don't don't.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
I'm not even kidding you. I like, that's why I
quit drinking. And something like this is not a good
look and people will start talking about how you're no
fun to be around, or you're like obnoxious, or you
make you make too many friends, and you like make
too many promises, You're too fun.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
When were you like trash hold on stage?
Speaker 4 (14:02):
I don't think on stage I can remember because I
used to get black out drunk, you know, So it's
like I don't even know that i'd remember it if
I if I were. I think that there have been
times that I'm like so high on stage, but that's
always like pretty fun and in like a challenge.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
So all the blackouts, you don't remember any of them.
Do you remember being super Stone on stage or A?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Yeah, yeah, definitely Stone. But I think stoned is like
I don't get anxious from doing stand up anymore. So
sometimes I smoke a little weed beforehand because I like,
I think the feeling of anxiety of being like I'm
nervous about this performance like makes me a better comedian
and a better performer because I care. So sometimes I
smoke a little weed so that I get like, oh,
what if something happens. It feels like I'm kind of
(14:42):
walking on a tight rope out there, and like whoa,
I'm like controlling this train of thought, which is like
you're so high right now, and I have to do
this train of thought, which is like what are you
going to say next? And then also like what am
I saying right now? And it feels like I'm like
an acrobat, like I feel I feel alive. When I
feel like I'm shoplifting or something, it feels like I'm
getting away with something.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Have you ever like done like a fucking hundred milligram
chocolate chip cookie or something on stage?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Fuck man, No.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
My biggest fear is being out of control in front
of people, like anyone witnessing. That's why fainting was so awful.
So I would never do that, like.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
When Fergie Peter pants.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Oh my god, dude, I wouldn't mind that. There's been
times on stage where I've almost had like, Okay, so
women when we're on our period, like sometimes you just
start it or you in the middle that you run
out of tampons, and so you make a pad with
like you roll up toilet paper around your hand and
you make like a makeshift pad with toilet paper that
will soak enough of it, like unless you're like, you know, hamorrhaging.
(15:44):
This is disgusting, So I know, I'm so sorry, and
so you put it in your underwear. But one time
I was on stage and it was I was just
wearing a song, so it's just like a little string
and it's not like a whole underwear thing holding it in,
and it was starting to fall out and like unwrap
a bloody coming yeah on stage, But I caught it
(16:05):
in my thighs. I closed them shut and was able
to like wiggle and walk up stands. Show that has
happened where I've and I'd be like, what would I
fucking say? What would I do? I don't even know?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
But you should have just let it drop and been like,
who wants some vampire tea?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
I think I would. I think I would lead into
it now, But at the time it was like the
most mortifying thing that could ever happen. Now, I don't
care if my strings hanging out, it's like who who cares?
Who cares? As someone's like your tampon string, it's like, oh,
so I use a tampon, Like it doesn't I don't.
I don't wander to say, like panty lines, people are
like your panty lines showing It's like, yeah, I don't
(16:43):
want to get ship on this pair of pants I
want or I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Want to, like is that true? Like panty lines?
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Are shit, but like, I don't want to get like
pussy juice on my pants, so I'm wearing underwear like
most people do. What is the crime?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Are panty lines like taboo or something?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Yeah, pant That's why were thongs because you don't want
to see like it's slicing your butt cheek in half,
and it kind of makes like for a bet, you
know it's better just like look like you're like, I
could be wearing nothing under this, and so we wear
these uncomfortable thongs, which I'm getting used to now. It's
like flossing, like you have to get calloused a little bit.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
It's like girls make rules for themselves. I don't do
guys notice that?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (17:17):
For No, they don't. They don't give a fuck about
a panty line. I mean I think it does look
more aesthetically pleasing in general, like it's kind of a
subconscious thing. But I don't think generally you.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Guys don't notice anything. Guys are like, dah, I want beef.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Stood you really don't. Did you see fast the Furious
seventy five The car went room room when the other
car went.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
We We're not like pantyline gross, you.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Don't care about our nails, like that's the thing, It's
so funny.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
No, we're like huh, We're like, I hope you play
with my wiener later.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
But some guys are like feet guys, so then you
have to manicure if they're like looking at your feet
extra hard.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Like one per cent of guys their feet guys.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Yeah, I know, so.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Quin Tarantino and Nick Cannon and that's it. I'm not
I'm not paying attention. A girl could have chicken feet.
I wouldn't even know.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Wow, okay, I'd be like, do you like me?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Can we kiss on the lips?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
In relationships? Would that be a thing that girls would
get mad you about? Like you don't have attention to detail?
Would they? Has that ever been a complaint for you
in a relationship?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Probably of one of fucking one of five thousand. I
won French fries with my beef stew.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Yeah, you guys are simpler. It must be nice.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I'm at the age now where my horniness, my hungrness,
and my sleepiness are all equal. So if I'm like
not getting laid, I'm like, well, I'm getting French fries
and I'm getting eight hours of sleep. Hell yeah, right,
that's like as sick as like getting laid to me, Like, dude,
I got eight hours of sleep in my twenties, Dude,
I got laid last night. Now I'm forty, I'm like, dude,
(19:02):
I got eight hours of sleep last night.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
That's so funny. You gotta do that as a bit.
Write that down.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Dude, I had French fries last night. Oh helly. My
friends are like, are you for real?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Like, hell yeah, I'm in.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
A relationship and I will there will be a moment
in the evening where you choose food or fucking like
it's gonna go either way.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
It can't be both, dude, I'll be honest. I think
my testousphone's going down because.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
You have food, is bitch, I always chose food. Not
only have I chosen food and turned down the thing
that's free right in front of me. I've paid eighty
dollars to have this food delivered to me and driven
across town. Like I waste money on the thing that
I'm choosing over the.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Free thing in front of me.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
It's crazy because it's food is so fucking good. But
then yeah, you get too full to fuck TFTF.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, God, I have a story I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I have a story. I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I'll find that it's too hot for TV. That's a
perfect way. I was about to have like the sex
of my life, but I ordered a fried chicken sandwich,
first ate it, and then passed out before before no, okay,
I'll just tell it. I was about to have group
sex and I've never had group sex, and I was like,
it is I was like dating this girl that was
(20:12):
particularly freaky, and like right before the other two gals
came over, we ordered fried chicken sandwiches.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
We ate the fried chicken.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Sandwiches, and we both passed out, and like the girl,
I woke up the next morning to like fifty five
miss calls and I was like, I just missed out
on the best sexual ex potentially the best sexual experience
of my life because I ate like half a sangwich
and passed out drunk. It was like I was like,
(20:40):
and I was like, and it'll never come back again.
I was like, I'll never be No, maybe, but I.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Don't think it was meant to be. If that really
mattered to you, you would not have chosen sleep and
food were you so drunk and tired.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I was drunk going through a breakup, hooked up, and
I like got back with this.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Gal that you ad that night. This is all meant
to be. I'm serious, let's just think of it that way.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I was like, tieing one not to.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Be judgmental of anyone with AIDS. Everyone wants it and
it's fine to be to have it, but with it,
I'm just trying to be accepting of those with AIDS. Listening.
We all we all are cool with you having AIDS
and we want it to but yeah, we do try
to avoid it normally. That's I think that's meant to be.
(21:30):
But you'll have group sex again.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
I think that was a sign.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Yeah, maybe it wasn't a thing you should be that
you need to have any life.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
It was like on.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I was like it's on, and the gal I was
with was like hell yeah, she was like wilder than me?
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Did your relationship last long after?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
That?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Was that a good relationships?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
I was getting out of what.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
I was like, Oh, the girl that you were with, though.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Like that gal I was with that night was like
a gal I hooked up with before I dated the
gal that gw up in my face. So I was like,
I'm going back to her because you a dick to
me and like, oh yeah, and we're going we're having
a wild hair up our ass kind of night and
and uh and then I ate half a sandwich.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Got those two girls were coming over to fuck you guys?
How did you find them? How did you know they
were down?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Like?
Speaker 4 (22:14):
How does this all get organized?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
You know what we have to break for commercial? Real quick?
Speaker 4 (22:21):
That's really coincidental.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Yeah, I've never brought for commercial either. I just usually
record through.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
I just want to know how you organize one. It
just sounds fun.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Well there's clubs, well.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Of course, there's clubs fet life, and there's thrender.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Well there's clubs called strip clubs.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Oh dull okay, the club called strip clubs. That's that
would be my first guess. Actually, if I would have
thought even for a second. Yeah, I love strip clubs.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
This is why I didn't want to poison your virgineers.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
With my You want to hear what I did. This
is one of the coolest things I've ever done. Because
I love strippers. But I don't like going to strippers
strip clubs because I don't want like them to like
try to flirt with me, like I don't like when
it's like, oh, she's like everyone's gonna watch them be lesbian's.
I like, don't let I want to be like in
control of it. I don't want to be like the
person in the chair. Yah.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, yeah, I don't like it. You're my birthday.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
I wish I could be like invisible in trip clubs
because I like watching guys become that kind of like
they're kind of stupid and these women are all like
walking around powerfully. But my boyfriend was in London and
I was not gonna be able to see him for
his birthday, and it was like kind of a bummer
because I had to get surgery and so it was
just like I just can't be there. It's gonna be fun,
you're gonna go out with your friends, but I wish
(23:34):
I could be there and that What he didn't know
was I was gonna plan it and I was having
surgery soon after that, but I was gonna just come
in for twelve hours and leave the next day.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
And we're getting surgery in London.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
No, I was getting surgery in Boston. So that's why
I couldn't go to London. It was like this was
on a Monday night and I was getting surgery on Thursday,
so I was like, I just can't make it, babe,
I'm so sorry. But then I decided to go to London.
I talked to his friends, I told that he was
with and I was like, Okay, I am coming to town.
Bring him to a strip club, get him a lap dance,
and then I'm gonna come out dresses a stripper in
this dark room and like surprise him and is so good, right,
(24:08):
So because I like when he goes stripperlubs, like I
kind of into that kind of thing, so I was like,
this will be perfect, and I know he likes them.
So they went and got him and brought him to one,
and I went. I flew to London that day and
like went to Zara and got like this stripperiest outfit,
which you can surprisingly find at Zara, a pretty good
stripper outfit.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Tell me something I don't know, honey, and.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Then got a wit. I had already bought a wig,
and I went and I went there early and met
with some strippers to like tell them the plan, and
they were like, okay, we'll get him. And I didn't
know this in London that lap dances they can't touch you,
so you just get a room with someone and then
they just like dance in front of you, which is
like who would pay for that?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Constitution's legal in it, and the strippers can't touch you,
the cat, then you can pay a woman to have
sex with you.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yeah, I mean it seemed to be on that, you know,
that kind of system. But they were very adamant like
we can't touch them, which bummed me out because I
wanted to walk in while he's like get lap dance
from these girls and be like I'm gonna come in now,
you know, like and just be a sassy stripper to
be like get off ladies, and then it's his girlfriend.
It'll be fun. But they're just like dancing in front
of him and they come to get me. And then
I walk into the room that he's in with these
(25:12):
two girls and they're like, here's our friend, and he
like gets up to like shake my hand. It was
really nice. It was like mad to meet you the
way that you would want your boyfriend to greet a stripper.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Yeah, he passed the test.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
He was like, hey, I'm Chris, nice to meet you,
and I go I'm nicky, and he was just like,
what the fuck? And I was topless too, because I
wasn't gonna be topless because I was like, I don't
want to be topless around other people. But both the
strippers were topless, so right before it went in, I
was like, I'm just gonna like commit to this. So
it was really fun that I got to be a
stripper for a little bit. But as soon as I
got up to him, then.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
His wife came in and you were like, who is this?
Speaker 4 (25:49):
As soon as I touched him, though, the security guards
were like, get off him because they thought I was
a real stripper, so it was pretty flattered.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Wow, congrats, thanks.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I was like yeah, and then we then we got
out of there, but it was it was really fun.
But I love strip clubs and have no problem with
you going there, and and and uh, I think it's
cool too.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Yeah, yeah, feels are fun. I felt particularly shy and
vulnerable to it's telling such a tail in front of
my co workers.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
Oh yeah, that that could be it. That's always the
thing about podcasts is like if we're having a conversation
that we would have if we were alone, but there's
right now four other people just listening quietly, so just
like if we were just thinking about the audience, we
maybe wouldn't care, but like do just having one person
be there's a couple of people in the same I'm
alone in my room, thank god, but like I know
(26:39):
that on zoom and like in your room, there's there's
other people that are.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I'm like in an office right now, you know what
I mean. Like, I'm like, it's so weird.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Yes, okay, well, thank you for sharing that with us.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Four Yeah. Also, the end of the story just be
like taking a nap. It's at the end of the
story was like, hell yeah, I got fucking late hardcore,
I gizzed everywhere.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Then you'd be like, ah, geez.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
But the end of the stories, I hate a sandwich
and I took an eight hour nap. It's like super
perfectly lame. I was trying to be like, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
You're so almost cool.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah, I was so almost cool and I was close.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Blame middle aged man.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
With aercdre with aer codre.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
What's the worst bomb you've ever seen that you would
you didn't experience personally.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
But okay, can I just I'm not gonna name names,
but I saw one name names. You can I saw
one recently. Dude, it was so funny because I had
never seen this guy before.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
We can also bleep the name.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Well, I saw this guy. I don't think we need
to say his name because it honestly doesn't.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
It's not a Bastian.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
No, I didn't know how popular this guy was when
I saw him. I'd never seen him before. But he's
a big deal and he's more of like a TikTok guy.
But it's not Matt Ryth either.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Can text after this.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
Yeah, I'll tell you exactly. It's not even gonna be
that exciting because you'll be able to see what I'm
talking about. Almost Emily. I don't know exactly, but he's
a bit like he's got a lot of followers. He's
got like he sells out theaters, like he does well
for himself, and he's like, I didn't know he was
a big deal. He's actually really nice. But I went up.
I was at the lat Factory one night not that
long ago, and he no one in the crowd really
(28:29):
knew of his fame and his He just was bombing
so badly, and there was a guy that was heckling him.
And because he's a crowd work guy, and so that's
his bread and butter. But he just lost, like he
couldn't handle this guy. That was just I forget, I
really forget the context of it, but it was so
hard to watch and so uncomfortable to be in the
room with, Like it was a massive, massive bomb for
(28:49):
very for a very long time. He which seemed very
shaken by it. He couldn't keep he couldn't get it
back up. And I got the impression that, you know,
the other comics in the room, it meant something to
him that we were witnessing this, and I felt really bad.
I almost wanted to leave because I just didn't want
him to know that I knew that he like sucked
because the first time I'm seeing him, so I just
think this guy sucks. Right, turns out he's like very
(29:10):
good at crowd work, and it's which I do think
is a talent that I don't have. But this was
just an offset for him.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
This crowd work now the cool thing because when we
were coming up, like I would do crowd work and
people and people will be like, don't do crowd work.
Crowd work's easy. You're not allow It was like, you're
not allowed to do crowd work.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Since when is something that's branded easy, Like not anything
that's easy. People go, you can't do it. It's like,
actually it works, though it sorry comes easy to me,
Like I don't. It doesn't come easy to me. Crowd
work to me is like very scary and difficult. I
don't even do it. So I think when it's done well,
it's really impressive. I think when it's like worthless clips
on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
I'm so discouraged. I remember yea was religion.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Because people were threatened by it, because it's it's I
think people that are I'm a joke writer, they're like,
I don't really, I'm not good off the cuff, and
I'm speaking for me. We're like, we want to make
you feel bad about this thing that you do well,
and so we're like, if you do that, you're a
hack because we can't do it, and where you must
write a joke and prepare. So I think that's where
it comes from. But now it's more acceptable as it
(30:10):
should be. I think it's a cool talent.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
I think it's cool too. I always thought it was cool.
I was like, why not, might not be spentous.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
And Saudius is fucking love it.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
It works.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
But if something's easy, people go it's not real stand up,
like talking about sex too much, it's too easy. It's like,
is that easy?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I never thought it was easy.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Yeah, it's not easy.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I never thought it was easy. No, that's the criticism
that it got.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
You're right, that is it. Let's make it clear. It's
not easy.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
It's not easy, but people.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Say it is. And that's what I say about when
people brand a lot of comedians as sex comics, like
myself of like all they talk about sex or like
they're just raunchy. And I think people think you do
it because it's easy, and it is easy for me
to talk about my sex life and make fun of it.
But I don't think it's easy for most people. And
I do think that is therein is some kind of talent,
(30:57):
whether I.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
You know, nothing's easy, nothing, but people like to.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Say things are easy because they can't do it. And
it's like, maybe you you're not a dirty comic because
you don't have the balls to be one. Maybe not
because it's so easy to be a dirty comic. Maybe
you're not one because it's not easy for you, whereas
being a clean comic is not easy for me. But
just because thing's easy. I don't want to watch people
I like do things that are hard for them. I
don't want to watch Jerry Seinfeld play the Obo, like
(31:23):
just because that would be hard for him. I'm not like, Wow,
like doing comedy is easy for him. It takes a
lot of work. But like, why does everyone We always
want to see someone doing something that's so hard, you know,
Like that's what bugs me when people say it's easy
for her. It's like, yeah, that's me because I'm inclined
to do this thing that's you know, I'm going in
the direction of what my personality is, Like I talk
about sex. But so I saw this guy bomb, yeah,
(31:46):
and I think it was really good because he'll never
be impressive to me after seeing that, Like, he will
never I will never have I will never respect him.
Why because I think sometimes when it's not like I
will I respect him him. I'll never be intimidated by
him because I've seen him faint essentially, you know what
(32:07):
I mean, Like he'll never be able to show boat
around me or act.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Like he's you've seen his human moment.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Yeah, I know he can suck sometimes.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
So like like my friend was like anytime you want
to talk to a Hawk girl, just imagine them taking
a ship.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
They all do it.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
I saw this guy take a dump, and many people
have seen me take a dump, and it's so you
can't get out of your head. But because it was
the first thing I saw of him, it's cemented. It's
kind of like you can't go back to your home
club because you bomb there so much. That's all they
remember you from. H is being awkward on stage, so
I think that bomb. I was like, I felt bad
for him, but it was Ever since then, he's killed,
(32:40):
absolutely murdered, like hard to follow murdered. But I'm always like, no,
I saw you fucking so you have no exit strategy.
There was no rescuing you. It was so bad and
I hope that never happens to me again, but it
definitely will. And that's the part about stand up comedy
that's fun. I have to go to that is that
(33:04):
the buzzer.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Uh Nikki. I love you so much.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
I love you Eric so much. Thank you. It was
so fun to talk.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
When you get out of the prison that is Saint Louis.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
I love my mom and dad not going to do it.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Please come hang out with me, I would love it,
and let's go watch people bomb.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Bombing with aeric Andre.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Do you know the premise of this podcast is called Bombing?
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I do.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
I've thought about some bombs.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
And I just want to know what the worst bomb
you've ever had is.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I think I black out. Really bad things happened to me, but.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Black it back in Girl, Wipe It in Okay.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
But the worst time I fainted on stage was probably
the biggest I've ever bombed.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
You fainted on stage live, That's my worst nightmare.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
It was the first time I ever fainted. I didn't
even know it could be a thing that I would
ever happen to me, and it was. It was so bad.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
What happened. I was doing a gig.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
It was two thousand and seven. It was right before
the Montreal Comedy Festival, right before that week, and I
had got New Faces, which is a thing that's like
welcome to the industry. It's Nicky Glazer, and it's like
you're being presented. It's so much pressure going to Montreal
to get flown out there. It's like you're you really
feel like it's your like star search moment. You're one chance,
(01:47):
you're one shot.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
They fly you out spirit air, middle seat, three connecting plates.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah, they dive you. No predamn, it's uh. And then
you do one five minute set, so.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
You had to pay for your own hotel.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
I think you actually did at some point.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I don't even pay for you to go.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
And you do five minutes on a packed show with
fifteen other people and Tom Poppa is hosting, and you
go out into a crowd of French people in the
industry and they're not great and the room is big
and echoey and weird. And I was too young. The
thing is, you want to be old in your class
of new faces. What year do you go?
Speaker 3 (02:23):
I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
You want to be the best, and whoever's the best
is usually the oldest. What you don't want to be
the old old man? That is like we have one novels,
like sixty year old fan, But you want to be
the person who's been doing stand up the longest relatively.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Yeah, I didn't think about that. Maybe I went too early.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
A lot of us did.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I did Aspen Comedy Festival. Yeah, okay, hbo Aspen Company
Festival in two thousand and six. I'd been doing comedy
for three years.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Oh wow, wait, so that you did?
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Not?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
That did not pop you.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I'm still working a temp job and waiting tables.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
It helped, it did help.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I got an agent on them.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, I got an agent. It was the first time
I got like representation. But I wasn't making Buckoo Box
at all.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
You didn't sign any deals did.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Not sign any deals. No, so wait you how did
you faint?
Speaker 4 (03:12):
So weeks leading up to this, I was so nervous,
so I was having like a raging eating disorder. I
was like not eating all day, and then I was
like running after work and I was temping at a
jobs and I was falling asleep constantly because I was
so malnourished, and I was smoking so much weed, and
just like literally my diet was like weed and like
a froio every day. And then sometimes I'd let myself
eat a full meal if I was getting it for free,
because I was doing a show where they give you
(03:35):
a meal, and that would be by my one, like
I'm gonna go bananas because it's free. So I was
doing Hennesses, which is a restaurant in Dana Point, which
is like in the o C. And I had drove
there after work. I also had run after work and
smoked weed right before I left, so I drive down there.
I haven't eaten all day.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Fucking it, You're wild, wild.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Out of control, trying to have so much control, thinking
I'm killing it.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Did you drink in these days?
Speaker 4 (03:59):
I did, but I I wasn't planning on drinking. Then
I think when I was in control phases of like
I gotta lock it in. I'm doing Montreal, I would
like lessen the drinking, weed, smoke, more diet, like control
control and so, and I think drinking was like that
will make me fat. So I was just like I
thought being skinny enough was gonna get me something there
or make me funnier. I don't know what the fuck.
So I got to the show and I was I
(04:23):
was like, I knew that I was feeling weak, and
I was like, I need to order. So I ordered
right away and they go, you can go up next,
and I was like, I really need to eat something,
and They're like, just go up next and then your food.
I'll be ready when you're done. I was like, okay,
So I go up and right when I'm up there,
I start to kind of feel like, oh God, but
I don't know the feeling, and I'm kind of having
cognitive issues for the first time I think ever, maybe
(04:43):
where like you can't think of what you're saying, and
you don't at first, you start panicking because you're like,
why am I not thinking what I'm saying? So then
you can't think of what you're saying because you're panicking
about you're not thinking so it. And then the tunnel
vision started and that's when I was like, oh, oh,
systems are shutting down. And I just said to the
front row, I was like I think I'm gonna faint,
and I go, is that is that awkward? And then
(05:06):
this woman just goes yeah, and I was like it
is and then I just boom. And then I had
a dream that I was in the ocean and that
I was like washing up on the shore, but it
was like me like falling against this like fucking railing
that was behind me because there was nothing else. And
then it was the guys like coming up to catch
me because I was like just crumpled on stage. And
then I had a dream after the waves crashing, which
(05:27):
lasted a really long time. I had a dream that
I fainted on stage and I was like that's embarrassing.
And then you know when you wake up from a
dream and you're like thank God that didn't happen, like
you're like yes, So I just I had that moment
of like, oh I got it in faint on stage,
and then I woke up and I'm like, oh, it's real,
and it was like the worst realization. It was I've
never had it where you think a nightmare is a
(05:48):
nightmare and and then it turns into real It was
the first time, and I was it was so embarrassing.
The room was dead quiet. I think I woke up
from like the quiet, and and I was like murmuring
I was abdic into the microphone because I think and
I'm not. I think I just wanted to generate some
kind of excuse that wasn't like I'm anorexic, you know,
like I just think that my brain was trying. So
(06:09):
they were all like, you're diabetic. I'm like, what, No,
And then I ran into the bathroom because I was
so embarrassed. And I'm in the stall and I'm just
like it's right off the stage and there's like hundreds
of people in this room. This is a big and
they're all eating dinner. They're all eating like their shrimp platters,
and it's dead silent on stage and I'm in this
stall and I'm by myself. No one's else is in there,
and I was just like, my life is over. Like
(06:29):
for some reason, I thought this would get out and
people would be like, she's a liability and it was
just felt it was wrapped up in my eating disorder
at the time too, Like fainting is like really like
I had been anarexic for so many years and never
fainted and kind of prided myself on it because that's
when people are like, you need help, you're fainting, and
I like never got to that level. So this is
the first time that I was like, oh god, my
disease is like ruining my life and making it so
(06:50):
I can't stand up, Like this is embarrassing, so I would.
Then I was in. Then I got surge of anger,
anger because I was so embarrassed, you know, like that
Dane Cook joke of like when you trip and you're
like what the fuck with like the side where you
get like mad at whatever's behind you, but you're really
just so embarrassed. So then I just was like filled
with anger because I was just like so fucked too
many feelings. And I burst out the doors of the
(07:13):
women's room and I go fucking out to this room
of people that are just like sitting there with it
waiting for me to come out because they're worried.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
But I didn't end.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
And then I shot straight to the right and I
went into the kitchen to be like that, I hate blocked,
Like I was just like crazy yelling I'm not this
type of person. But it was just an overwhelming I've
never felt so embarrassed. I've never had something happen to
me like that. I came to my senses inside I'm
like stuffing bread into my face in the kitchen, and
(07:44):
then I'm like, oh my god, there's only one way
out of this kitchen. I gotta go back through. And
I was so already like calmed down to feel like
that was really embarrassing. How I like just that it happened,
but also how I responded like this is awful. And
so then I just he bishly walked out of the
room and everyone like applauded, and I was like, oh god, ever,
(08:07):
now I'm getting credit for like we're walking. This was
so embarrassing. And then I had to convince them all
I was okay to drive home. I'm like, no, I swear,
but I couldn't say what it was. I was like
it was because I didn't eat all day, Like I
was just too embarrassed of it. But yeah, and then
that has happened to me one other time, but I knew.
I like took an edible once in Montreal actually, but
years and years later, and it hadn't had nothing to
(08:28):
do with my diet. But like an edible kicked in
as I was on stage because the show was earlier
than I thought, and I wanted to kick in when
I was on a treadmill, but instead I missed. I
think called me while I was on a treadmill and
we're like, you're up next, and I'm like, what the fuck?
So I ran over to the theater and I was like,
I didn't eat again. I didn't eat and i'd you know,
a snack beforehand, and the edible kicked on in stage
(08:48):
and I was just like on stage, I go, I
think I'm gonna faint, so I'm gonna hold onto the stool.
I'm gonna be right back, but I do need the
house to come back. And I'm like not really making sense.
And Robert Kelly is downstairs after it just brought me
on stage. He's downstairs taking a shit in the bowels
of this like content of this like castle, you know,
like Saint Kathleen or whatever it is. So he was
(09:09):
like midship and everyone's like, you got to go back
to health scare, She's gonna faint. Then I walked off
stage and I just chugged a coke. That was easier
because I was just like, I've been through this before,
this happens and it didn't. But just totally fainting is
was the It was the worst moment of my life.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I think that's one is that when you started getting
help for your eating disorder, no you kept.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Going yeah, like because it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Rock bottom, I can go farther deeper.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
There wasn't time to hit rock bottom because I had
to go to Montreal Comedy Festival. I'm not gonna start
like going to meetings right on that or whatever I
needed to.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Mean, like around that time, were.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
You like, oh, you know, no, because it was off
and on. Like mine would just always switch. I'd go
from like starving myself to over exercising to then binging
to throwing up to so it just would like change,
it would morph. Getting Actually I got actual help when
I was really really sick and almost died. Like that
was years prior, when I was nineteen twenty. I like
really got out of the phases where it was going
(10:03):
to kill me. And then I which is so.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Great, like your hair falling out and stuff.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Oh yeah, like I was hospitalized and stuff. It was
it was gnarly. I was gonna die.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I didn't know it was that bad.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Yeah, it was so bad. But I got out of it,
and then I started doing stand up and with it
kind of.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Bumming me out.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
I'm gonna be honest with you, like, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Do you have any idea what I'm going through right now?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
This is always happens to me when I start telling
my truth. My whole life is just me trying to
tell people this, and I'm just being like I was
having a really good day and I'm just trying to
keep it high vibes. I'm like, you wanted to know.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
That's hard core. I didn't know it was like hardcore
like that.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yeah, dude, I got out of like I'm not going
to die from this so I can still do comedy,
because I cared enough about comedy that I was like,
I don't want to die from this. Before I was like,
please kill me. This is hell because I couldn't eat.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Where did that come from?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
You know?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Being insecure, being a perfectionist OCD, losing a friend of
suicide in high school? Oh, you didn't being scared to
leave home, around college, not feeling like I had any talent,
not being able to pursue it. Like it was just
stemmed from a lot of things of like I need
control in my life, and so it just showed up
in that way of like, oh, I'll just be the
(11:11):
best at not eating, and I really was. I was
quite good at it.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Were you so tired and weak and angry?
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Oh dude, it sucks so much. Whenever anyone sees someone
that is anorexic, please have a little compassion for them.
And I know it's like so confusing because you're like,
eat something. All I can tell you is they can't.
It doesn't make sense. And I still don't think it
makes sense when I see people that are that thin.
I'm literally like the same person I used to hate
when they would say it to me and like eat
a cheeseburger, but it it's out of your control and
(11:38):
they're cold and they're hungry, and you know how, you
get like a little bit, you get angry like Snickers commercials.
Picture that all the time, NonStop, and it's never gonna
end because you're never gonna eat again. And you know that,
and so you're in for a lifetime of suffering. There
is no exit.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
How do you survive like that?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
It's like it sucks, dude.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
You need nutrients, your cells need nutrients.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Oh and I was I don't know. Yeah, it's it.
It shocks me.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Now.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Now I'm in a part of my recovery. It's not
like perfect, but I thank god. I'm in a phase
of like, I never get to starve. So if I'm hungry,
I like have to eat. I don't get to like,
I don't get to answer that little part of my
brain where it's like this feels pretty good. You're not
eating right now and you're getting that light headed feeling
and that feels that you're losing weight, Like I don't
get to chase that anymore. So that's like my rule
(12:25):
for myself.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Intuitive?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Yeah, because that but that leads to you being like
I only need to eat once a day and give
an anorexic I, you know, intermittent fasting diet and she
will run with it until it's anorexia.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Yeah, because that's what I loved When intermittent fasting came out.
I was like, I'm like never, I mean, I could
be anrexic again. Yeah, it's back, baby, and now it's
got a name, and Joe Rogan's talking about it, and
everyone who's anyone knows that this is like, you know,
Tim Ferris, this is the what weight he's telling us
to do. So it felt I got back into it
and like and then I got out of it again,
(13:02):
but it always comes back. But yeah, that was I
think in terms of bombing, that just that's the most
uncomfortable I've ever been on stage. And I felt really
just bad.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
With Arecodre. With Arecodre.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
What's the most wasted you ever been on stage?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Man, that's a really good question.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Have you been wasted on stage?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
For sure?
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Like what stone drunk?
Speaker 4 (13:34):
What drunk? I used to I quit drinking when I
was twenty seven, but before then I would get pretty
damn wasted and not really ever on stage.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
I remember we used to call you wasted, Nikki.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
No, did you really?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
No? No, I don't don't.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
I'm not even kidding you. I like, that's why I
quit drinking. And something like this is not a good
look and people will start talking about how you're no
fun to be around, or you're like obnoxious, or you
make you make too many friends, and you like make
too many promises, You're too fun.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
When were you like trash hold on stage?
Speaker 4 (14:02):
I don't think on stage I can remember because I
used to get black out drunk, you know, So it's
like I don't even know that i'd remember it if
I if I were. I think that there have been
times that I'm like so high on stage, but that's
always like pretty fun and in like a challenge.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
So all the blackouts, you don't remember any of them.
Do you remember being super Stone on stage or A?
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Yeah, yeah, definitely Stone. But I think stoned is like
I don't get anxious from doing stand up anymore. So
sometimes I smoke a little weed beforehand because I like,
I think the feeling of anxiety of being like I'm
nervous about this performance like makes me a better comedian
and a better performer because I care. So sometimes I
smoke a little weed so that I get like, oh,
what if something happens. It feels like I'm kind of
(14:42):
walking on a tight rope out there, and like whoa,
I'm like controlling this train of thought, which is like
you're so high right now, and I have to do
this train of thought, which is like what are you
going to say next? And then also like what am
I saying right now? And it feels like I'm like
an acrobat, like I feel I feel alive. When I
feel like I'm shoplifting or something, it feels like I'm
getting away with something.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Have you ever like done like a fucking hundred milligram
chocolate chip cookie or something on stage?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Fuck man, No.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
My biggest fear is being out of control in front
of people, like anyone witnessing. That's why fainting was so awful.
So I would never do that, like.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
When Fergie Peter pants.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Oh my god, dude, I wouldn't mind that. There's been
times on stage where I've almost had like, Okay, so
women when we're on our period, like sometimes you just
start it or you in the middle that you run
out of tampons, and so you make a pad with
like you roll up toilet paper around your hand and
you make like a makeshift pad with toilet paper that
will soak enough of it, like unless you're like, you know, hamorrhaging.
(15:44):
This is disgusting, So I know, I'm so sorry, and
so you put it in your underwear. But one time
I was on stage and it was I was just
wearing a song, so it's just like a little string
and it's not like a whole underwear thing holding it in,
and it was starting to fall out and like unwrap
a bloody coming yeah on stage, But I caught it
(16:05):
in my thighs. I closed them shut and was able
to like wiggle and walk up stands. Show that has
happened where I've and I'd be like, what would I
fucking say? What would I do? I don't even know?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
But you should have just let it drop and been like,
who wants some vampire tea?
Speaker 4 (16:20):
I think I would. I think I would lead into
it now, But at the time it was like the
most mortifying thing that could ever happen. Now, I don't
care if my strings hanging out, it's like who who cares?
Who cares? As someone's like your tampon string, it's like, oh,
so I use a tampon, Like it doesn't I don't.
I don't wander to say, like panty lines, people are
like your panty lines showing It's like, yeah, I don't
(16:43):
want to get ship on this pair of pants I
want or I don't.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Want to, like is that true? Like panty lines?
Speaker 4 (16:48):
Are shit, but like, I don't want to get like
pussy juice on my pants, so I'm wearing underwear like
most people do. What is the crime?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
Are panty lines like taboo or something?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
Yeah, pant That's why were thongs because you don't want
to see like it's slicing your butt cheek in half,
and it kind of makes like for a bet, you
know it's better just like look like you're like, I
could be wearing nothing under this, and so we wear
these uncomfortable thongs, which I'm getting used to now. It's
like flossing, like you have to get calloused a little bit.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
It's like girls make rules for themselves. I don't do
guys notice that?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (17:17):
For No, they don't. They don't give a fuck about
a panty line. I mean I think it does look
more aesthetically pleasing in general, like it's kind of a
subconscious thing. But I don't think generally you.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Guys don't notice anything. Guys are like, dah, I want beef.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Stood you really don't. Did you see fast the Furious
seventy five The car went room room when the other
car went.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
We We're not like pantyline gross, you.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Don't care about our nails, like that's the thing, It's
so funny.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
No, we're like huh, We're like, I hope you play
with my wiener later.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
But some guys are like feet guys, so then you
have to manicure if they're like looking at your feet
extra hard.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Like one per cent of guys their feet guys.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Yeah, I know, so.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Quin Tarantino and Nick Cannon and that's it. I'm not
I'm not paying attention. A girl could have chicken feet.
I wouldn't even know.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Wow, okay, I'd be like, do you like me?
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Can we kiss on the lips?
Speaker 4 (18:17):
In relationships? Would that be a thing that girls would
get mad you about? Like you don't have attention to detail?
Would they? Has that ever been a complaint for you
in a relationship?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Probably of one of fucking one of five thousand. I
won French fries with my beef stew.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Yeah, you guys are simpler. It must be nice.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I'm at the age now where my horniness, my hungrness,
and my sleepiness are all equal. So if I'm like
not getting laid, I'm like, well, I'm getting French fries
and I'm getting eight hours of sleep. Hell yeah, right,
that's like as sick as like getting laid to me, Like, dude,
I got eight hours of sleep in my twenties, Dude,
I got laid last night. Now I'm forty, I'm like, dude,
(19:02):
I got eight hours of sleep last night.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
That's so funny. You gotta do that as a bit.
Write that down.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Dude, I had French fries last night. Oh helly. My
friends are like, are you for real?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Like, hell yeah, I'm in.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
A relationship and I will there will be a moment
in the evening where you choose food or fucking like
it's gonna go either way.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
It can't be both, dude, I'll be honest. I think
my testousphone's going down because.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
You have food, is bitch, I always chose food. Not
only have I chosen food and turned down the thing
that's free right in front of me. I've paid eighty
dollars to have this food delivered to me and driven
across town. Like I waste money on the thing that
I'm choosing over the.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Free thing in front of me.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
It's crazy because it's food is so fucking good. But
then yeah, you get too full to fuck TFTF.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, God, I have a story I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I have a story. I'll tell you.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I'll find that it's too hot for TV. That's a
perfect way. I was about to have like the sex
of my life, but I ordered a fried chicken sandwich,
first ate it, and then passed out before before no, okay,
I'll just tell it. I was about to have group
sex and I've never had group sex, and I was like,
it is I was like dating this girl that was
(20:12):
particularly freaky, and like right before the other two gals
came over, we ordered fried chicken sandwiches.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
We ate the fried chicken.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Sandwiches, and we both passed out, and like the girl,
I woke up the next morning to like fifty five
miss calls and I was like, I just missed out
on the best sexual ex potentially the best sexual experience
of my life because I ate like half a sangwich
and passed out drunk. It was like I was like,
(20:40):
and I was like, and it'll never come back again.
I was like, I'll never be No, maybe, but I.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Don't think it was meant to be. If that really
mattered to you, you would not have chosen sleep and
food were you so drunk and tired.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I was drunk going through a breakup, hooked up, and
I like got back with this.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
Gal that you ad that night. This is all meant
to be. I'm serious, let's just think of it that way.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I was like, tieing one not to.
Speaker 4 (21:08):
Be judgmental of anyone with AIDS. Everyone wants it and
it's fine to be to have it, but with it,
I'm just trying to be accepting of those with AIDS. Listening.
We all we all are cool with you having AIDS
and we want it to but yeah, we do try
to avoid it normally. That's I think that's meant to be.
(21:30):
But you'll have group sex again.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
I think that was a sign.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
Yeah, maybe it wasn't a thing you should be that
you need to have any life.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
It was like on.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
I was like it's on, and the gal I was
with was like hell yeah, she was like wilder than me?
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Did your relationship last long after?
Speaker 1 (21:46):
That?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
Was that a good relationships?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
I was getting out of what.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
I was like, Oh, the girl that you were with, though.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Like that gal I was with that night was like
a gal I hooked up with before I dated the
gal that gw up in my face. So I was like,
I'm going back to her because you a dick to
me and like, oh yeah, and we're going we're having
a wild hair up our ass kind of night and
and uh and then I ate half a sandwich.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Got those two girls were coming over to fuck you guys?
How did you find them? How did you know they
were down?
Speaker 2 (22:14):
Like?
Speaker 4 (22:14):
How does this all get organized?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
You know what we have to break for commercial? Real quick?
Speaker 4 (22:21):
That's really coincidental.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
Yeah, I've never brought for commercial either. I just usually
record through.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
I just want to know how you organize one. It
just sounds fun.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Well there's clubs, well.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Of course, there's clubs fet life, and there's thrender.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Well there's clubs called strip clubs.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Oh dull okay, the club called strip clubs. That's that
would be my first guess. Actually, if I would have
thought even for a second. Yeah, I love strip clubs.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
This is why I didn't want to poison your virgineers.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
With my You want to hear what I did. This
is one of the coolest things I've ever done. Because
I love strippers. But I don't like going to strippers
strip clubs because I don't want like them to like
try to flirt with me, like I don't like when
it's like, oh, she's like everyone's gonna watch them be lesbian's.
I like, don't let I want to be like in
control of it. I don't want to be like the
person in the chair. Yah.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, yeah, I don't like it. You're my birthday.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:13):
I wish I could be like invisible in trip clubs
because I like watching guys become that kind of like
they're kind of stupid and these women are all like
walking around powerfully. But my boyfriend was in London and
I was not gonna be able to see him for
his birthday, and it was like kind of a bummer
because I had to get surgery and so it was
just like I just can't be there. It's gonna be fun,
you're gonna go out with your friends, but I wish
(23:34):
I could be there and that What he didn't know
was I was gonna plan it and I was having
surgery soon after that, but I was gonna just come
in for twelve hours and leave the next day.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
And we're getting surgery in London.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
No, I was getting surgery in Boston. So that's why
I couldn't go to London. It was like this was
on a Monday night and I was getting surgery on Thursday,
so I was like, I just can't make it, babe,
I'm so sorry. But then I decided to go to London.
I talked to his friends, I told that he was
with and I was like, Okay, I am coming to town.
Bring him to a strip club, get him a lap dance,
and then I'm gonna come out dresses a stripper in
this dark room and like surprise him and is so good, right,
(24:08):
So because I like when he goes stripperlubs, like I
kind of into that kind of thing, so I was like,
this will be perfect, and I know he likes them.
So they went and got him and brought him to one,
and I went. I flew to London that day and
like went to Zara and got like this stripperiest outfit,
which you can surprisingly find at Zara, a pretty good
stripper outfit.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Tell me something I don't know, honey, and.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
Then got a wit. I had already bought a wig,
and I went and I went there early and met
with some strippers to like tell them the plan, and
they were like, okay, we'll get him. And I didn't
know this in London that lap dances they can't touch you,
so you just get a room with someone and then
they just like dance in front of you, which is
like who would pay for that?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Constitution's legal in it, and the strippers can't touch you,
the cat, then you can pay a woman to have
sex with you.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Yeah, I mean it seemed to be on that, you know,
that kind of system. But they were very adamant like
we can't touch them, which bummed me out because I
wanted to walk in while he's like get lap dance
from these girls and be like I'm gonna come in now,
you know, like and just be a sassy stripper to
be like get off ladies, and then it's his girlfriend.
It'll be fun. But they're just like dancing in front
of him and they come to get me. And then
I walk into the room that he's in with these
(25:12):
two girls and they're like, here's our friend, and he
like gets up to like shake my hand. It was
really nice. It was like mad to meet you the
way that you would want your boyfriend to greet a stripper.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Yeah, he passed the test.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
He was like, hey, I'm Chris, nice to meet you,
and I go I'm nicky, and he was just like,
what the fuck? And I was topless too, because I
wasn't gonna be topless because I was like, I don't
want to be topless around other people. But both the
strippers were topless, so right before it went in, I
was like, I'm just gonna like commit to this. So
it was really fun that I got to be a
stripper for a little bit. But as soon as I
got up to him, then.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
His wife came in and you were like, who is this?
Speaker 4 (25:49):
As soon as I touched him, though, the security guards
were like, get off him because they thought I was
a real stripper, so it was pretty flattered.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Wow, congrats, thanks.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
I was like yeah, and then we then we got
out of there, but it was it was really fun.
But I love strip clubs and have no problem with
you going there, and and and uh, I think it's
cool too.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Yeah, yeah, feels are fun. I felt particularly shy and
vulnerable to it's telling such a tail in front of
my co workers.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
Oh yeah, that that could be it. That's always the
thing about podcasts is like if we're having a conversation
that we would have if we were alone, but there's
right now four other people just listening quietly, so just
like if we were just thinking about the audience, we
maybe wouldn't care, but like do just having one person
be there's a couple of people in the same I'm
alone in my room, thank god, but like I know
(26:39):
that on zoom and like in your room, there's there's
other people that are.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I'm like in an office right now, you know what
I mean. Like, I'm like, it's so weird.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Yes, okay, well, thank you for sharing that with us.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Four Yeah. Also, the end of the story just be
like taking a nap. It's at the end of the
story was like, hell yeah, I got fucking late hardcore,
I gizzed everywhere.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Then you'd be like, ah, geez.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
But the end of the stories, I hate a sandwich
and I took an eight hour nap. It's like super
perfectly lame. I was trying to be like, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
You're so almost cool.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah, I was so almost cool and I was close.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Blame middle aged man.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
With aercdre with aer codre.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
What's the worst bomb you've ever seen that you would
you didn't experience personally.
Speaker 4 (27:41):
But okay, can I just I'm not gonna name names,
but I saw one name names. You can I saw
one recently. Dude, it was so funny because I had
never seen this guy before.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
We can also bleep the name.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Well, I saw this guy. I don't think we need
to say his name because it honestly doesn't.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
It's not a Bastian.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
No, I didn't know how popular this guy was when
I saw him. I'd never seen him before. But he's
a big deal and he's more of like a TikTok guy.
But it's not Matt Ryth either.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Can text after this.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
Yeah, I'll tell you exactly. It's not even gonna be
that exciting because you'll be able to see what I'm
talking about. Almost Emily. I don't know exactly, but he's
a bit like he's got a lot of followers. He's
got like he sells out theaters, like he does well
for himself, and he's like, I didn't know he was
a big deal. He's actually really nice. But I went up.
I was at the lat Factory one night not that
long ago, and he no one in the crowd really
(28:29):
knew of his fame and his He just was bombing
so badly, and there was a guy that was heckling him.
And because he's a crowd work guy, and so that's
his bread and butter. But he just lost, like he
couldn't handle this guy. That was just I forget, I
really forget the context of it, but it was so
hard to watch and so uncomfortable to be in the
room with, Like it was a massive, massive bomb for
(28:49):
very for a very long time. He which seemed very
shaken by it. He couldn't keep he couldn't get it
back up. And I got the impression that, you know,
the other comics in the room, it meant something to
him that we were witnessing this, and I felt really bad.
I almost wanted to leave because I just didn't want
him to know that I knew that he like sucked
because the first time I'm seeing him, so I just
think this guy sucks. Right, turns out he's like very
(29:10):
good at crowd work, and it's which I do think
is a talent that I don't have. But this was
just an offset for him.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
This crowd work now the cool thing because when we
were coming up, like I would do crowd work and
people and people will be like, don't do crowd work.
Crowd work's easy. You're not allow It was like, you're
not allowed to do crowd work.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Since when is something that's branded easy, Like not anything
that's easy. People go, you can't do it. It's like,
actually it works, though it sorry comes easy to me,
Like I don't. It doesn't come easy to me. Crowd
work to me is like very scary and difficult. I
don't even do it. So I think when it's done well,
it's really impressive. I think when it's like worthless clips
on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
I'm so discouraged. I remember yea was religion.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Because people were threatened by it, because it's it's I
think people that are I'm a joke writer, they're like,
I don't really, I'm not good off the cuff, and
I'm speaking for me. We're like, we want to make
you feel bad about this thing that you do well,
and so we're like, if you do that, you're a
hack because we can't do it, and where you must
write a joke and prepare. So I think that's where
it comes from. But now it's more acceptable as it
(30:10):
should be. I think it's a cool talent.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
I think it's cool too. I always thought it was cool.
I was like, why not, might not be spentous.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
And Saudius is fucking love it.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
It works.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
But if something's easy, people go it's not real stand up,
like talking about sex too much, it's too easy. It's like,
is that easy?
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I never thought it was easy.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
Yeah, it's not easy.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
I never thought it was easy. No, that's the criticism
that it got.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
You're right, that is it. Let's make it clear. It's
not easy.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
It's not easy, but people.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Say it is. And that's what I say about when
people brand a lot of comedians as sex comics, like
myself of like all they talk about sex or like
they're just raunchy. And I think people think you do
it because it's easy, and it is easy for me
to talk about my sex life and make fun of it.
But I don't think it's easy for most people. And
I do think that is therein is some kind of talent,
(30:57):
whether I.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
You know, nothing's easy, nothing, but people like to.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Say things are easy because they can't do it. And
it's like, maybe you you're not a dirty comic because
you don't have the balls to be one. Maybe not
because it's so easy to be a dirty comic. Maybe
you're not one because it's not easy for you, whereas
being a clean comic is not easy for me. But
just because thing's easy. I don't want to watch people
I like do things that are hard for them. I
don't want to watch Jerry Seinfeld play the Obo, like
(31:23):
just because that would be hard for him. I'm not like, Wow,
like doing comedy is easy for him. It takes a
lot of work. But like, why does everyone We always
want to see someone doing something that's so hard, you know,
Like that's what bugs me when people say it's easy
for her. It's like, yeah, that's me because I'm inclined
to do this thing that's you know, I'm going in
the direction of what my personality is, Like I talk
about sex. But so I saw this guy bomb, yeah,
(31:46):
and I think it was really good because he'll never
be impressive to me after seeing that, Like, he will
never I will never have I will never respect him.
Why because I think sometimes when it's not like I
will I respect him him. I'll never be intimidated by
him because I've seen him faint essentially, you know what
(32:07):
I mean, Like he'll never be able to show boat
around me or act.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Like he's you've seen his human moment.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
Yeah, I know he can suck sometimes.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
So like like my friend was like anytime you want
to talk to a Hawk girl, just imagine them taking
a ship.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
They all do it.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
I saw this guy take a dump, and many people
have seen me take a dump, and it's so you
can't get out of your head. But because it was
the first thing I saw of him, it's cemented. It's
kind of like you can't go back to your home
club because you bomb there so much. That's all they
remember you from. H is being awkward on stage, so
I think that bomb. I was like, I felt bad
for him, but it was Ever since then, he's killed,
(32:40):
absolutely murdered, like hard to follow murdered. But I'm always like, no,
I saw you fucking so you have no exit strategy.
There was no rescuing you. It was so bad and
I hope that never happens to me again, but it
definitely will. And that's the part about stand up comedy
that's fun. I have to go to that is that
(33:04):
the buzzer.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Uh Nikki. I love you so much.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
I love you Eric so much. Thank you. It was
so fun to talk.
Speaker 3 (33:13):

and let's go watch people bomb.
