What does it mean to have a "toothy smile"? Nikki and Brian dissect the backhanded compliment and come to the conclusion: just tell someone they have a nice smile. Plus, "girls chat" get into talks about "dirty Bluey" and what to watch out for in cartoons. Australia seems too cool of a country to hide hidden meanings in children's animation. Nikki shares her PETA letter to SeaWorld. Final thought: Brian brings up how similar Hacks is to Nikki's current life.

Nikki is joined by her mom, Julie, and a new puppy (fostering, but maybe forever?) Brian chimes in about algorithm talks and how it doesn't exist or is even real. Nikki talks about her upcoming guest spots on The Masked Singer (sadly, she isn't one of the contestants...bummer). The three discuss John Wick and the artistic interpretation of Donald Trump. Nikki gets into the documentary Dancing for the Devil and the sketchy business of a pastor taking advantage of dancers' wages and endorsements. Murder and pedo docs must rot your brain, right? Final thought: Julie got a power washer.

Hi, Nikki Glaser listeners! iHeartPodcasts has geared up for a riveting new podcast called #1 Dad hosted by Gary Vider! As kids, most of us look up to our Dads. A Dad should be a positive role model who shows us the value of hard work. Dads are supposed to teach us the difference between right and wrong. But that’s not the story we’re telling here. This is the story of Gary Vider, a successful stand-up comedian, who grew up with a Dad unlike any other. Tune in to this top-tier true crime/comedy story, but don't just take our word for it, check out the trailer to decide for yourself!

Show Description: As kids, most of us look up to our Dads. A Dad should be a positive role model who shows us the value of hard work. Dads are supposed to teach us the difference between right and wrong. But that’s not the story we’re telling here. This is the story of Gary Vider, a successful stand-up comedian, who grew up with a Dad unlike any other. Manny Vider was a con man, whose schemes spanned over 4 decades. It’s been 23 years since Gary has seen his father and he doesn’t have a clue what he’s up to these days. But Gary is ready to open Pandora’s Box and take listeners on a deeply personal and comedic journey to uncover the outrageous truth about his Dad before he attempts to meet him face to face. Does Manny regret his con man life? Is he finally on the straight and narrow? Or is he still wearing a fake neck brace, counterfeiting money, and scamming anyone who will take the bait? Welcome to the hilarious and heartfelt true story of Gary Vider and his #1 Dad.  

Listen to #1 Dad on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts!

Nikki and Brian chat about the rise of popularity and having to be careful what you say on a podcast platform. What's going on with Boeing? Nikki talks about a great workout experience and how you don't need to break a sweat each time. Brian has some stuff to say, but you must listen to Intrusive Thoughts (the best $5 you'll spend!). If you are straight, stop referring to your girlfriend/boyfriend as "partner". Nikki test drives a very awesome car and the final thought: 1.4 million followers and counting.
