[@ChrisCupcake3]

As an adoptee, I love what she said about not caring if the child looks like her. It still seems like there's a stigma or silent shame about adopting as if it's secondhand or not as desirable of an option. Always loved Nikki, but this interview made me appreciate her even more.

@@ChrisCupcake3 My nieces best friend, who I’ve known for twenty years, was adopted (from Poland) which I didn’t find out about until I was at her father’s funeral. The parents had to travel from the US to Poland to pick up the young child Nika. But when they got there they found that she was very close to two other children, a girl and a boy, that were hugging her and crying because she was leaving. So the parents adopted them as well. They are very close today. Great people their parents.

Nikki! Was the highlight of the whole thing

[@glennruess3324]

Nikki makes a good point about aging - I was in a standup comedy class (really) & an older woman in there once said it was hard for her to accept when men stopped checking her out as she walked past them.

[@willvr4]

That's an interesting perspective, thanks for sharing. I've always kind of thought that about girls who are wearing intentionally revealing or tight clothing, especially at the gym...and then complain when guys check them out. (staring and being creepy is totally different than taking a look) In my head I'm like, "I bet she'd be 10x more upset if NOBODY looked."

Awesome interview. Nikki is gold.

Shes been on all roasts for 6 years .. killed it .. watch em all

[@TK-pv4uq]

She needs to use this momentum and find something new, rather than being known for roasts. She mentioned in Theo's recent podcast, that she knows that the more popular she gets, the more easily she can get cornered and nitpicked in roasts. I'm paraphrasing of course. But whatever she decides to do, I believe she can be highly successful.

its good to see Nikki get this level of credit, but if you have been watching her the last decade she has been great for a long time and she deserves it. Her delivery, timing and cleverness is top notch. She is top 10 comedian level and for those that really like comedy this is not a surprise. Her situational awareness and instant joke creation is top 5. everyone on stage at the Brady roast gave up after her run. she had some amazing planned content and her off the cuff stuff was epic.

Tom knew what he was doing. He got his ex destroyed without saying a word. Revenge for allegedly being cheated on served ice cold !

[@Natassia4]

And if it's true she didn't as she said and there's nothing that proves any romantic conduct, what he did was very mean and egocentric

[@hondapilot]

@@Natassia4 You might be right, but the speed of her divorce demand and the romantic connection with the Jio Jitsu dude that followed makes it doubtful. Brady is a smart man, he has kept his mouth shut to protect his public image and allowed others to speak about his divorce. Notice, he was concerned his comments may have negatively impacted his children not his ex.

[@Natassia4]

@@hondapilot a year may not be considered fast speed. I'm sure Brady's was calculated and I don't really believe his concern about the kids are real because this has been planned for months and he had the time to figure it out. The circus he created and all the hate it has been thrown into them is smart still harsh considered what they had and that he's been involved in infidelity rumors himself. He should've worked it out beetwen them as she did in the past, and still today never said anything negative about him despite the split

[@aaronlc7948]

Yeah, I don’t think Tom actually regrets the roast, but is saying that to save face with his exes.

[@Natassia4]

@@aaronlc7948 I don't he cares about them either lol He's probably worried about his carreer transition. And these shows and interviews are about that. Man, their exes could write a book together to spit the real Tom Brady. It would be 🔥
