Theo Von interviews Nikki Glaser, fresh off the Bruce Willis roast. Nikki shares early insecurities about dating, saying she felt awkward and unseen until a yearbook moment when a guy commented, “I'd glaze that,” which made her feel attractive for the first time. She explains she didn’t kiss anyone until junior year and didn’t have sex until twenty one, and that she lost her virginity behind a bowling alley in a chaotic scene with a boy who wasn’t all there. The episode shifts to dating philosophy: she notes height dynamics, preferring tall partners yet dating shorter men, needing strength and the ability to be playful. She describes fantasies about being on bottom, being pursued, and wanting to feel desired, including a recent hookup after the Bruce Willis roast where she wore a v-cut dress and wanted to look hot to upset past hurts.
The conversation moves to ambitious flirtations and self image: she recalls trying to look sexy without it being a distraction on stage, acknowledging that at thirty four she fears losing sex appeal but aims to seize hot moments. She emphasizes the importance of consent, but also the pull of unsatisfied desire, admitting she can be convinced to have sex when she’s turned on enough, even after declaring limits.
A lengthy segment explores texting, unresolved crushes, and the psychology of desire. Nikki talks about dating a guy she thought might become a boyfriend, only to realize he wasn’t taking steps, so she suggested a wrap by being honest about wanting more. She discusses the thrill of masculine energy on stage while wanting more feminine energy off stage, signaling a shift toward being pursued by secure, emotionally available partners.
The discussion broadens into porn, empowerment, and role models. Nikki admires porn stars for exposure and agency, comparing their vulnerability to standup, and likening their honesty to her own. She concedes that she draws on audiences with honesty, even when it’s awkward or controversial, and she cites orgasm as a topic that can be both technical and intimate.
She shares experiences with orgasmic meditation, including attending a workshop with a large group, gloves, trained instructors, and a nest setup. She describes feeling empowered by giving and receiving in a safe, guided context, and recounts a dog bite incident that briefly interrupted the practice.
The talk turns to motherhood and feminism. Nikki expresses ambivalence about having children, acknowledging they could be wonderful but would complicate her career. She argues that feminism can coexist with desire for nurturing roles, and she stresses the need for authentic self‑care and honest pursuit of love, while accepting that some relationships won’t work. She and Theo reflect on compatibility, commitment, and the challenges of modern dating, including the lure of unavailable men.
The episode closes with playful fills: listener calls about Dane Cook’s joke influencing vaginal self‑image, apologies, and Nikki’s resolution to keep being honest. The hosts thank each other, praise each other’s work, and sign off with plans to do more together soon.
