Nikki really vibed with being in Canada this weekend and had a blast with her audience. Her shows in Hartford, CT, were emotional, finding out her dog Goldie went missing that morning. But don’t worry, it’s a happy ending! Sean and Emily, who were there for the whole thing, helped Nikki retell how she found out her pup was back in the middle of her performance. The Nikki Glaser Podcast also dropped a huge announcement that could take the Besties on an emotional ride, but Nikki did what she does best: showing her vulnerable side while adding her humor to a big life change. And Brian, Noa, Sean, and Emily are all super supportive and excited for her!.

You know you're in a serious relationship when you're talking finances with your partner right before buying a house. While Nikki’s figuring that out, Brian’s talking about trying to open a safe deposit box at the bank. Sean got into trouble for laminating his social security card when he was 17. Nikki recently watched Mr. McMahon on Netflix and now wonders if people lose their empathy when they get rich. Nikki’s all about setting boundaries, and Brian’s a straight shooter. They spill the tea on the dynamics of their writers' room and share some of their favorite moments working on the Globes. For The Final Thought, Nikki hopes her fame is enough currency for her nephews and niece at school. They’re also curious what compliment would actually land with Sean, and Nikki’s hoping the phrase 'Get Out of My Elevator!' becomes a thing.

Getting stuck at the airport isn't that bad when you’re running on zero sleep. Nikki's just trying to catch up after a crazy weekend. Sean actually loves the hustle and bustle of airports—kinda gives him that New York vibe. Nikki's low-key worried she’s gonna get hit by a zombie car in her neighborhood if she doesn’t get some sleep soon. But honestly, hearing Adam Sandler roll with Nikki’s joke during the Oscars was SO worth being up for 48 hours. Another highlight from this action packed weekend? Nikki got inducted into her high school’s Hall of Fame. And she got to be on Live with Kelly & Mark the morning after the Oscars. Iconic..

Nikki absolutely adores her team, and they’re so grateful for the gift she gave them for their work on the Golden Globes. Looking back on her tour, Nikki honestly never imagined she’d be where she is now. Oh, and there are a couple more restaurant pet peeves from yesterday that still need to be addressed. Sean and Brian weigh in on what they’d do if they accidentally sent a mean text about someone to that person. They also talk about how the pandemic impacted so many years of their lives. Noa points out where Nikki’s name has been popping up lately. In the Final Thought, Nikki asks what advice everyone would give their 13-year-old selves that they'd actually listen to.

Nikki has noticed that Sean is calmer on planes. Could it be that the chill pill is working? She had plans to rap on her birthday, but now she’s kinda doubting her progress on "Rap God." Brian had a dream about making some big argument on Fox News about DOGE. Nikki’s super curious about everyone’s food noises and habits. They’re all obsessed with Timothée Chalamet’s SAG speech. Tbh, sometimes comedy just doesn’t age well, and apparently neither do FAA rules. In the Final Thought, they chat about the infamous 72-hour hummus.

Nikki’s putting off washing her hair as a time-management move—it’s just too much with everything going on. Brian swears Nikki’s the fastest person in the bathroom he’s ever met. Nikki’s downtime is when she’s napping and feels invisible to people who don’t get it. Nikki and Brian are both suspicious of Tom Brady’s nap before his first game. Noa’s been thinking a lot about personal growth and outgrowing your past. Nikki knows nothing lasts forever and is always bracing for the end of her success. She thinks everyone’s maturity gets stuck at the age they were most hurt and plays a guessing game to prove it. After talking about childhood trauma, Nikki gives a shout-out to her current spring/summer entertainment: The White Lotus, definitely the best show rn. Then, they get into a convo about good vs. bad acting, and Nikki keeps the praise going by bringing up her latest obsession, comedian Chris Fleming. Brian shows he’s fun by testing Nikki on some ‘spoonerisms,’ a term she just learned..

Nikki had some of her best crowds over the weekend, and even though she was literally in the middle of nowhere, she still went out and had an awesome time. This morning, though? Not so much—she had to kick off the day with a sizzle reel, and she's definitely feeling it. Brian and Sean are all about supporting her, letting her know she’s already checked something off her "funeral prep" list. Nikki and her openers had an epic time on the road, especially with some wild karaoke nights after her shows. Also, brunch two days in a row? Just what the doctor ordered. On the flip side, Nikki’s a little let down by a travel experience, not quite what she expected. In the Final Thought: imagine a strip club with karaoke... yep, Nikki and her crew found one.

Nikki and Noa are back at it with the meditation, and Brian is inching his way there. He’s still skeptical, but of course, Nikki’s got a book that might change his mind. Brian’s trying to fix his clenched jaw, and Nikki’s convinced DMT’s the answer. Oh, and if you ever see a woman trying to wrangle three tiny dogs into an elevator, please don’t start yelling at them in a high-pitched voice. Maybe take a sec, hop on Reddit, and learn some empathy instead. Nikki and Brian have both calmly dealt with bugs crawling on them. Nikki shares a story about meeting a NOLA survivor and the lesson he taught her about what to do during a terrorist attack. In the Final Thought, Nikki, who usually thinks people don’t change their minds once they make big decisions, actually had to do that to enjoy her vacation. She also follows up on a message that surprised her on Reddit from yesterday’s pod.

Nikki and Brian are totally on the same page about Super Bowl Sunday being the saltiest holiday on so many levels. Nikki was super bummed by the Taylor Swift boos, and it’s making her question America. Brian was all about the Halftime Show, and Nikki recapped seeing it in person. At the NFL Honors, she got to meet Jordon Hudson, which was a major highlight. A cab ride from hell turns into new material. Nikki shouts her Pittsburgh crowd and her opener, Tommy Brennan. In the Final Thought, Nikki’s been obsessed with The Telepathy Tapes podcast, Brian reveals who won his Super Bowl Squares j-j-jackpot, and, of course, he gives his take on the big game.

Nikki sure knows how to set a table of friends. The pre-show chat about chin implants had to keep going, and Nikki, basically a plastic surgery guru, is leading the convo. Sean’s lips are goals, but growing up with these ‘DSLs’ wasn't all it's cut out to be. 'Beat Bobby Flay' is the perfect show to just throw on, but let’s be real—no one at this table can cook. They shout out Liza Treyger’s new special Night Owl, and Brian gives a quick comedy lesson about the Chicago scene in New York. Nikki spills the tea on what she's got going on with the NFL- it involves a private flight with some people she spotted at the Grammys! While chatting pop music, Nikki accidentally coins a new term. In the Final Thought, they chat some more about the Super Bowl and the Halftime show.

Nikki had a b-l-a-s-t at the Grammys. Brian, Sean, and Andrew are excited to hear, but first, we need to list all of Andrew’s powerful friends. From being part of the Benson Boone performance to who came over to her table, Nikki spills it all. Brian has a total fanboy moment realizing he’s lowkey obsessed with Heidi Klum, and Nikki might need to sit through 30 hours of makeup next Halloween. It was a night full of epic stories, and one that really needs to be shouted out is the pep talk Chris gave Nikki. In the Final Thought, Nikki breaks down why Benson Boone will always nail the best flips.

Taylor is back and you this will bring out Nikki's morbid curiosity. While Nikki and Taylor dive into their obsessions with national tragedies, Brian shares his experience at the Flight 93 National Memorial. Nikki’s noticed some changes at her local Starbucks and, naturally, had to hop on Reddit to see what’s going on. She might even have a new mission—clearing out all the extra stuff in her bathroom, and thankfully, she has Taylor there to help. In the Final Thought, Nikki talks about why she's excited for The Grammys and they also review Dave Chappelle’s SNL monologue.

Nikki might not remember the title of the book she’s reading, but it’s already helping her in so many ways. Like, forcing herself to do something hard first thing in the morning has boosted her confidence for the rest of the day. Sean O'Connor is back, and Brian has a unique take on why social media is the worst. They all stan the latest SNL episode, dive into how AI is changing content creation, how loneliness is pushing people to seek validation from bots and why meditation works. Nikki’s totally over garbage TV, and after watching The Wizard of Oz this weekend, Sean's convinced it’s the ultimate example of storytelling. In the Final Thought, Nikki’s all about getting everyone to watch Sidewalks of NY, they review the teams that made it to the Super Bowl (and whether it was shady how they got there), and chat about the modern human condition.

Tone is EVERYTHING, especially when your friend’s going through a breakup, right? Nikki’s always got her friends’ back and she’s definitely not afraid to roast the ex. Nikki, Brian, and Noa dive into the friend zone and how to handle it while dating. Nikki’s loves about being in a relationship where she can have friends of all genders. With her Moxie BBL appointment coming up, Nikki asks Noa what she loves about it. Nikki keeps her passion about veganism in check because that’s how you actually influence people. The TikTok ban just proved that influencers aren’t even doing their own workouts. Nikki’s got a new tool for her pelvic tilt, while Brian's got his bone density and body fat test results. In the Final Thought Nikki drops an old fashion habit and steps foot into a new one.

St. Louis is freezing, and Nikki's over the idea of her delivery people having to ride a bike. She’s got a theory about Melania’s hat, by the way. Also, she’s clearing up some plastic surgery rumors and swears she’ll always be transparent about what she's had done. Since the Globes, Nikki’s been in a bit of a funk and misses doing joke-writing work. She’s reading a third of Anatomy of a Breakthrough and hoping that it helps. Nikki and Brian question people who don’t get sarcasm. Let’s root for the Bills to make it to the Super Bowl and win, just for Nikki’s friend’s sake. Nikki is so done apologizing for looking like a hot mess at Starbucks—time to clean up her look. Oh, and neighbors? Back off, please. Brian went to this women’s bookstore event and, no joke, was the center of attention. In the Final Thought, Nikki shares some movie recs, and they swap hilarious flirting stories.

A loud moment at the gym turns into a pleasant whisper for Nikki. We honestly have no idea how Brian survived his boyhood with all the dangers he was dodging. Nikki’s all about people who make a career change later in life, while Brian thinks there should be limitations. After some hellish rumors on the internet, Nikki and Brian clear up some stuff about the Golden Globes mid show bit. They also give props to some game time decisions that made Nikki’s showing on point. Nikki is reading Let Them by Mel Robbins and it’s helping her not stress about what people think. In the Final Thought, Brian points out that Nikki hit 2 million followers on Instagram and is basically a news maker now. And Nikki shouts Bill Burr for his Jimmy Kimmel Live! showing as they talk about the state of comedy.
