It is so great that celebrities are open these days about depression and mental health. Makes me like Nikki even more…she’s real.

[@johnphantom]

I have a hard time telling people I am schizophrenic. It is termed by doctors as the "most horrific" mental disease and is largely misunderstood. I take my medication and am stable, as close to whatever "normal" may be, 22 years after being diagnosed. Quitting alcohol had a big effect on me, including reducing the amount of nightmares. I am Cali sober on medical marijuana under a doctor's supervision, it won't trigger me into an episode because of the anti-psychotic I take and helps tremendously.

[@nebo2073]

Many of them are also sad fishing. Like they get sad at times and immediately its a mental health emergency. That kinda shows how messed up the first world has become

[@johnphantom]

Hi

I’m from STL. AND NIKKI YOURE AN INSPIRATION AND A ROLE MODEL FOR ALLL OF OUR CITY, EVEN REGION. YOURE THE NELLY OF COMEDY! WEAR IT PROUD

Dude Nikki is way more talented then Taylor swift

​@@noahdavis327is this Noah injection? Lol nah

[@vinnyblancz7277]

The vulnerability and openness of this episode I love. Thank you both for being who you are and being open!

[@joekowski]

Nikki has become so much more relaxed in the last few years, this was an actual 2-sided conversation :)

[@karenvanderbeck]

Agreed, it's like she went the way of Whitney Cummings and tossed the Adderall.

[@biggestcharliefan]

@@karenvanderbeckNicki is actually enjoyable to listen to Whitney is alright but still a bit too manic to handle in long form imo.

​@@elwinMMAah yes, a woman improving herself, must be the work of a man

Wonder if Andrew attempted an intervention after the pod was over 😂. Nikki shouldn’t be so hard on herself. Great episode.

[@curtisboyce3849]

pity is almost as good as laughter, said every female comedian

NIKKI DO NOT READ BELOW THIS COMMENT. YOU ARE LOVED AND CHERISHED EDIT- THE COMMENTS HAVE CHANGED SINCE I FIRST SAID THIS. PLEASE READ THESE COMMENTS NIKKI THEY ARE VERY NICE.

Love Nikki and Andrews chemistry, always fun to listen to them!

[@Shykk07]

Or Nikki and Theo, or Nikki and Rogan, or Nikki and anyone. She has a strange knack for developing chemistry with anyone.

[@melbrooke280]

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the realness of depression that Nikki talks about. Depression has been romanticized to a point where everybody says they have depression but generally don’t understand it and can’t really handle people when they truly have depression. It’s harmful because it then puts this idea that depression is always tied to some situation and it makes depression just seem like not that big of a deal and doesn’t push people to actually understand it. I have friends that say they are depressed and I always feel alienated when I actually get real about having severe depression. Most people will just say “what are you depressed about” and it’s not like that. I just notice on social media people will make depression seem this edgy thing, but when they encounter people with actually bad depression, they lack any kind of understanding or compassion. I’m not saying all these people don’t actually suffer from depression but there is a HUGE difference between being stressed and upset about different life stuff and actually having depression.

[@kingkornkarn6453]

Love this podcast. Usually i get tired of podcasts after a while because it feels like the same thing over and over but he interacts with the guests in great way.

[@tatertotter808]

I always love the episodes with Nikki

[@raycongfs]

Great comedy podcast guest!

[@Jashn20002000]

Whenever you see a comdien on one podcast they are on multiple podcast in that time frame, so you could see her on multiple podcast done recently. I have seen her on whitney cummings podcast recently I believe was one of them.

[@iLoveMeSomeFire]

It’s funny cause Rife isn’t truly good looking. He’s very strange looking but him being skinny and in shape kind of hides the weirdness a bit. Just wait though…

[@TreeShark]

She’s always great! ❤

[@TreeShark]

@@Jashn20002000sometimes, it’s usually to prompt things. But now they can’t promote gigs,shows etc… so it’s just a friend/guest chat now a days.

[@sydtaxerror]

So much love for Nikki Glaser! One of my faves 🩷🩷

[@hosebeefy6667]

Nikki is so fun. Always one of my favorite guests, and I dont even follow her comedy super closely. She kills it every pod. Super funny lol.

[@GlassDanimals]

I’ve never particularly had a problem with Nikki but she seems to have chilled out a lot the last couple years and I like listening to her more now. Great episode!

[@evanliveshere]

“I don’t want to spoil it” CRACKED ME UP

[@kibblesnbits3174]

This feels like two really good friends hanging out and I love it. Also I think this is the first time after 2 years of watching Andrew that I saw what his wife looks like lol, Dude is super secretive of his family

[@MrBmoreofficial]

That's not his IRL wife, just another Punk'd actor

[@natestradamus]

Can you blame him? Some real weirdos out here.

[@The-D-Hoyt]

There is no "wife." It's a long running inside joke with his friends in comedy. They all go along with the ruse. The hypothetical "wife" is a metaphorical beard for him.

[@MaddMaxOfficial]

[@enzonitti9897]

We love you Nikki! I’m a door guy at Westport Funny bone and we think you’re hilarious.

[@jowie_wowie]

Nikki's ability to be open in conversations like this helps mental health struggles feel less like a singular personalized burden. I've always loved Nikki glad to see her on again!

Nikki looked the happiest I’ve ever seen her right here…. Good for her!

[@MasterBroshi92]

Andrew, if I ever see you in person. Just know I will walk up calmly, say hey love your work, then right before I walk away I'm whipser "I'm bobby mom" and that will be that. 😂

[@ogKlif]

Andrew talking about his depression is the first time i can say thats what i feel and i could not describe and i thank you

[@Shmooping]

You guys got the best Patreon ad out of everyone else who just tells you to join, giving a preview is so tempting !

[@whitebuffalo4904]

wow, incredible episode. my exposure to nikki over the years has been only cursory really, i.e. when she'd guest on some pods i enjoyed, but i'd be lying if i said i ever super actively listened- kind of just served as background to whatever i was doing. but seeing her cut open and lay out for us what's on her mind in such an accessible way made me gain a tremendous amount of respect for her and want to do a deeper dive on her. i think the dichotomy of a truly depressive person is ever-present in this pod, wherein she's both aware that things are good now (even saying she's "happy"), but also talking at length about the darkness. i 100% fully know where she's coming from, as a massively depressive state has been my baseline for over a decade now. as with anything, there are ebbs and flows, where sometimes we feel we're in a good spot, but it's just an illusion we're selling better to ourselves than usual (because we WANT to be happy/content), but it's merely just that; a really good illusion. because the depression is there, ever-present, and always lurking- and letting us feel some semblance of happiness or content is merely just one of the many nasty tricks it plays on our minds. if i weren't more logical and really let my mind wander, i could think this episode was somehow put out just for me, because much of what's discussed is all but verbatim stuff i've thought about at length over the years.

[@willvr4]

I feel like suicidal ideations and actually wanting to kill yourself are two MASSIVELY different things. If your brain is constantly working overtime and you can't sleep, the idea of what it might be like to just not exist has probably crept into your mind.

[@Dumballa]

Love you Nikki. Always appreciate your comedy and honesty 😊

[@monicagrix6621]

Ily Nikki and I am glad I watched this I mean I watch all of Andrews’s pods lol but what I mean mean is I can relate and I had the same reaction as Andrew being surprised which is funny cuz maybe even I am someone like you who can come off as someone who doesn’t have those thoughts or think that way but yeah thanks for the honesty ❤❤❤

Oh the US Virgin Islands next to Puerto Rico are right on a fault line at the 18th latitude in the Caribbean. They frequently get ~4.0 earthquakes. I happened to be standing next to my bar in the dining/living room one day, looking toward the other end of the room where the TV was, and something like a 4.0 hit. It is a unique experience to have the world move around you while you are standing seemingly perfectly still.
