with this man in the audience i think his name was was, like, Marcus or Martitious, something.

that's the first thing you let it come to you stop you can't you can't you know it's like what's the
point you're gonna leave the town you know you're doing the job and you're leaving that's it yeah
how has touring been for you isn't it wild to leave la and be like, oh, the virus doesn't exist anywhere else. Let me tell you, Nicole. So
this was the first time that I actually got on a plane. Everything that I've done has been local,
like California, Palm Springs, LA, a little outside of LA. This was the first time that I
got on a plane. Now, I am obsessed with people who get taped to their seats
you know i'm talking about it just happened it just happened listen i was like is he single
because he said his family has a lot of money and he was talking about his grandpa and i was like oh
he's still living so i mean he'll die soon he'll get some more money if you don't know what we're
talking about there's this incredible video of this man.
Shit.
I wish I could remember his name.
It's like something.
Barry was screaming.
He went to the bathroom,
came back,
took his shirt off.
They helped him find another shirt screaming.
Like he like touched some titties.
He punched the male flight attendant.
So they duct taped him,
duct taped,
duct taped this man to the seat. And that not the first one there was a woman in north
carolina the same thing they had to tape her ass down wait really oh yes girl this is like not an
isolated incident like there are lesbians taking duct tape on their carry-ons like it is like
straight up what is happening with people i know so i'm on this plane and you know i'm six foot four i'm two i'm sorry his name
is maxwell barry of course it is maxwell barry so i i'm on this plane and i'm looking around
and i've seen all these videos of people acting fools and so i'm like if somebody acts a fool on
this plane what do I do?
And so, you know, I, and I do this in my standup recently, where it's like, you know,
if someone looks at me and they see me as a tall, big guy,
and they're like, sir, help us.
We need your help.
I'm going to pull the full gay card and be like,
I have highlights.
I am so sorry.
This is your journey.
You've asked for this.
I will tell your story.
But I'm telling the woman next to me in Comfort Plus,
which is also a Delta variant.
Yes.
I'm like, yeah, if anything happens,
I will step up to the plate and I will subdue that person.
This woman looks at me in the face and she goes,
how do you know it's not me?
And I'm like, what?
She's iconic.
She's a legend.
She's truly it.
That's what a treat.
What a treat to have that as your seatmate.
My God.
She was delightful.
And so I look at her without a beat and I go, well, then I'm going to sit on your face
and not in a good way.
And she starts laughing and she was delightful.
She's like, are you vaccinated?
And I go, no.
And she's like, and I'm like, I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
Yes.
She was a delight and everything was smooth.
But I am obsessed with people acting fools on planes.
Now, I wish a bitch would on my flight.
I wish a bitch would.
Yes, I would truly be like, I will fucking handle this.
I'd be like, nobody has fucking time for this.
I am so sorry.
You don't have a hobby that when you land that you can go back to that
your hobby is disrupting people's fucking lives but you will shut the fuck up because i'm too
fucking busy for us to turn around and go back to a fucking gate or emergency land somewhere i have
things to fucking do and you want to pay me money you're not grounding the plane i love fighting
with people and i wish a bitch would and I've gotten to fights with people
there's this one woman who called me like little girl when I was in Florida and then she like got
in the elevator and like went up and I was walking towards the elevator with my hand out and my
friend Nick was like what were you gonna do and I was like drag her out of the elevator if the doors
hadn't closed my hand was out to grab her hair and pull her down and drag her out and he was like nicole

long that we're in this like oh i wish a bitch would like i'm watching i'm watching i'm watching
like i'm watching fucking people fighting at a wendy's and i'm like what yes is that where we're
at yeah i'll fuck somebody the fuck up yeah get your nuggets and go get your nuggets and fucking

I don't think I've been there yet.
It's cute.
Were the shows fun? they were so much fun um you know however it was like just a normal day no one had a mask on it was hot as balls and uh you know near the near the end of
the um the trip like i woke up and i had a tickle in my throat i was like god damn it and so the first thing i did when i got back was covid test negative she is a negative queen fortune's
negative jack's is negative negative i you're like of the minority people aren't doing that
elsewhere no yeah here we're all being like rather responsible it's like i have a little tickle let me get a covid test i lost my fucking mind so like i was driving with my top down i was like pretty
messless outside until i was near people i have horrific allergies that i didn't have last year
so out of sight out of fucking mind so i was like we're living honey and then the good lord said bitch oh no no and my allergies
were really like i had this awful cough sniffling sneezing and i like every time i got close to you
i was like i will disclose i i don't have covid i have taken like eight tests this week because i
couldn't go to work if you know whatever right
right and everyone's just being extra careful so every time i went for a fitting or whatever i had
to get tested and i was like i just i have allergies i'm really sorry and they're like okay
but it's also it's so i feel insane all the time but now i'm like oh okay i have i i kind of i
think i have to continue wearing this mask yeah Yeah. It was nice last year not having allergies.
Oh, my God.
Remember allergies before the pandemic?
Now you sneeze and everyone looks at you and shames you.
Truly.
And you're like, I'm so sorry.
Yeah.
I hear someone cough in a Trader Joe's and I'm like, well, this is it.
This is how I die.
Mm-hmm.
At least in LA, I feel like everyone's like that.
Truly.
And when I was in Cleveland, nobody gave a shit if you coughed at all you could probably like just melt and die
and they'd be like oh i guess you got too hot have you gone to any clubs like like like bars
or anything yeah so i went to precinct i love precinct i like precinct like uh i had never been which is like wild for me but um i went
because my friend meatball was hosting a party i think it was like bear bear or something like it
was a bear party it was fun until this man was screaming in my face and i was like you are covid
stop fucking spitting and screaming in my face so then i kept turning my
fucking head fully so he could only like like spit in my fucking ear canal and then i was looking
around and i was just like some like sweaty fucking dudes tweaking out and i was just like
i don't think i can be here this was like two three weeks ago i was like i think i have to go
yeah but then we ended up just like hanging in the dressing room and then i felt good because everybody in there was like vaccinated yeah not breathing and screaming in my face but
honestly that was like the first time i'd been around like a ton of people and i was like i don't
i don't know i know i don't know about this i've done that moment too where i've caught myself
where i'm like oh i'm in public out yeah without about. I'm asking off.
I went to Mickey's.
I wound up at Mickey's one night where it was just like, you know, we had some friends in town from New York.
We went to High Tops and they were like, oh, let's check out Mickey's.
And we went to Mickey's and I was like, oh, this is awesome.
And then I'm like, oh, I'm in here.
I mean, it is a i mean it is a lot it is a lot i i think i'm just i'm gonna be the nerd who
wears a mask a lot um i think that's just who i am now i kind of like it and then you can scream
in my face all you want and i just have a little bit of a barrier but like when i tell you this man like drew like just droplets like in slow
motion huge we're like splat like honey i shrunk the kids droplets like yes very that i haven't
thought about that in forever yeah oh my god what a great movie like when the sprinklers come on and

Okay.
Just to like shift gears a little bit.in do you have like a type like do you have somebody that you're like trying to end up with uh well i have until november
my astrologer said um okay oh yeah okay so let's manifest let's do that um let's man okay who who

that's what you're saying
at the end of the day I love
a person who's not
a sociopath.
Sure.
I'm very attracted to sociopaths.
Yeah, I mean, I feel like that's like issues.
I feel like when you're attracted to people that you're like, oh, fuck, this is not good again.
Yeah.
I feel like it stems from like shit you saw in your childhood that you were like, oh, I've been told this was normal.
So then you become an adult you're like that's not normal but you keep falling into the same patterns because it's like my parents didn't heal themselves from their trauma from their
parents right right right now i have to like break the cycle that's like that's a lot of pressure
oh yeah i i i have like daddy issues where i'm like, I'm seeking validation from men who don't seem to be interested or like me,
but like,
I want them to,
and I'm going to work really hard and change their mind.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
That's a fun thing to work through.
You're broken.
I can fix you.
Yeah.
Mine's interesting because it's like,
I feel like I have guys that are like attracted to me and then they're like, so what do you do? And I'm like, Oh, I'm a comedian. And it's like, I feel like I have guys that are like attracted to me.
And then they're like, so what do you do?
And I'm like, oh, I'm a comedian.
And they're like, I think saying that I need to start saying like, I'm an accountant or like I work.
I work in sales.
Something like that.
I mean, yeah, because it is hard to be like, I'm a comedian.
And if somebody is like not chill or cool, they just like oh yeah make me laugh oh there's that or the this is oh i hate this when they're like
so you're gonna talk about me on stage and i'm like probably
i haven't had anyone say that really i really no no no i had one date where he was like please
don't talk about this on
stage and I was like you were so poorly behaved I absolutely will yeah you have no table manners
I will be drawing this to people's attention but I dated a dude for a couple months and like I don't
know like our third date in he was like so you do podcasts I was like yeah and I told him what they
were and I was like I have one call why won't you date me and I was like so you do podcasts i was like yeah and i told him what they were and
i was like i have one call why won't you date me and i was like but i wouldn't talk about you on
it and if i did i would just like ask you if it was okay and he was like huh he truly was just
like oh whatever and i was like oh great i've overthought this so i've just like learned to
just be like i don't know if somebody asks i'll explain my my whole process which is i don't know if somebody asks, I'll explain my, my whole process, which is, I don't talk about anybody I'm currently dating.
And I don't talk about them.
It like close at all to like when we stopped dating.
So like when people like when episodes come out,
when I'm talking about somebody,
it's been like months,
six,
seven,
eight,
maybe a year since we've been like together.
You know,
you just try to be nice
and keep everything anonymous and stuff.
Oh, and I have a running theme right now
of just being straight up catfished.
Really?
Oh, girl.
Am I?
Yes, I am.
I attract the big ones.
Like I'm one of those people in like the Ozarks
who catch these giant fish with their hands.
That's me.
Oh my God, wait.
Like I am a, I'm a noodling queen.
Who's the last person who catfished you?

community we call them chuckle fuckers like these are these are people who go out of their way to get in with the comedian.

She was like, I loved your show.
It was so funny, but I knew 80% of the jokes. She was like, I loved your show.
It was so funny, but I knew 80% of the jokes because I listened to your podcast.
And I was like, you stupid fucking bitch.
You haven't heard them in a way
where I presented them as jokes.
You've heard conversations
where a nugget of a joke has started.
And then I go, oh, that should be made into something that is
a joke that i can tell again yes you fucking bitch podcasting is also workshopping like yes
yes she made me so angry i was like i fucking hate you and i hope she listens to this yes and

fucking themes over and over again i tell the same stories over and over again and i constantly
am apologizing for it but i've only lived so much of a life oh girl it's such a thing where it's like i hate her people are so like it blows my mind how people
take time out of their fucking day to be like i've got something to say about you and you're just
like cool yes i say this all the time it should be illegal to say anything in a comment other than

tell me you've heard 80 of my fuck then don't ever watch a single thing i ever do again don't
listen to another thing that i could do yeah i i've like overtaught my audiences a little
because a lot of my crowds listen to the podcast which i'm very thankful for and i spent a good
year complaining that people scream nailed it at me. And it was annoying until John Cena was just like,
cause I,
I could swipe out with him.
He was like,
Nicole,
they're just trying to connect with you.
And I was like,
Oh my God,
John Cena.
Now it doesn't bother me.
Cause I'm truly like,
yeah,
that's what they know.
If they don't know my personal life.
Yeah.
And I just,
I also,
now it's,
it's like numb.
I like really don't hear it anymore,
but I'm like,
yeah, if you need to scream it at me, scream it at me. That's it's it's like numb i like really don't hear it anymore but i'm like yeah
now if you need to scream it at me scream it at me that's fine it's like it's 10 seconds out of
my day but like i was trying to do crowd work and like people wouldn't talk back to me i was like
okay so scary yes yes yeah they're like she's gonna talk about me yeah she's gonna talk about
me later she's gonna get mad at me it's been fun but i think i was just like Yeah. Because I had been like working and touring and touring and touring and working and touring.
I was burnt.
What were you saying?
Sorry.
No, I was just going to say, speaking of John Cena, I watched Suicide Squad.
John Cena's got a good bulge.
I'm not going to lie.
He's a very kind man.
Yeah, but he also has a really nice bulge.
I'll leave that for you to say.
It hangs to the left. I paused it. Yeah, it a really nice bulge. I'll leave that for you to say.
It hangs to the left.
I paused it.
Yeah, it's a good bulge.
Okay.
Yes, I'm not touching that. Yeah, no, he could definitely be my peacemaker for sure.
Okay, yes.
That is something that you can say,
and I'm just going to nod my head and say, okay.
Okay, let's take another little break.
And we are back from the little break.
Here's what's happening.
You said you're burnt, right?
Yeah.
You're burnt.
That's good.
Because you know what happens when you get burnt?
What?
You heal.
Yeah, and I've healed. I've like truly found the joy in doing stand-up again. That's good. Because you know what happens when you get burnt? What? You heal. Yeah.
And I've healed.
I've like truly found the joy in doing standup again.
Like I've been having the most fucking fun.
Like just like being loose and then being like,
oh,
if I don't do that joke,
who fucking cares?
I'll do this one instead.
Maybe I'll do a little bit of crowd work and talk to you people.
Yeah.
I've just been really having a nice time.
And yeah,
like in most cities,
well,
one city,
Portland,
they were like mask unless they were eating.
Houston was fully unmasked.
Like nobody gives a shit.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Tacoma.
I can't remember,
but I was like in all those situations,
I was like far enough away from the audience that like,
I felt okay.
Except in Portland,
there was this one man who kept his mask off the whole time, but he didn't laugh.
So I was like, I'm safe.
I know.
I mean, that's something that I didn't even think about was like everyone was unmasked and they're just like, ha ha ha ha ha.
Yeah, they're pushing their airborne particles at you while your mouth is open telling them something fun.
It is honestly the definition of an exchange
of airborne particles.
It's so funny because when I got back to LA,
the first thing I did, I went and got a COVID test
and the doctor came in full on
outbreak shield hazmat suit.
And he was like,
so why are you in here? And I was like, oh, I was working
and I just wanted to make sure I'm okay.
And he's like, well, where were you? And I'm like, Arizona.
And he's like, what? And he's like, were you indoors? And I'm like, yep. Mask stuff sure i'm okay and he's like well where were you and i'm like arizona and he's like what and he's like were you indoors and i'm like yep mask stuff sure

And I'm like, that'll be good enough.
I also sleep with a hoodie on my face.
So I think I'm doing all right.
Oh, you can sleep on a plane?
Yeah, I put my hoodie on my face.
Oh, I can't sleep on a plane.
So it's like completely black.

I will remove myself from
the conservatorship, but I
still think you need to be in one.
As opposed to, she's mentally
ill.
I'm still in control.
And it's like, why do you
have to be in control?
You, sir, are an adult.
She is your daughter.
It is her choice to take care of you.
It is not your choice to put a hold on her and then take her fucking money yeah she's almost 40 it's like it's crazy
because it's like it's it's just it's very like 21st century mama rose you know what i mean or
