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.

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.

After the Golden Globes, everything in LA just shifted... Nikki and Brian are here to unpack it all. Nikki's finally seen Whiplash (yes, Brian's all-time fave), and it's got her thinking about her own movie dreams. As she contemplates what kind of film she'd like to create, they dive deep into all the clichés and tropes that DEFINITELY won’t make the cut. Sometimes, figuring out what you don’t want is the best place to start, right?

The moment’s finally here—and Nikki is thrilled with how her night went hosting the 2025 Golden Globes. She’s hanging with her writing team, Brian Frange and Sean O’Connor, plus her producer (and boyfriend) Chris Convy. It legit feels like every headline is straight out of their Google Doc. Nikki spills the tea on what it was like delivering her monologue, and Brian and Sean dish on who in the room was living for her jokes. They’re pretty sure Ralph Fiennes is officially a Bestie now. Plus, there’s all the behind-the-scenes stuff—like who came to wish Nikki good luck and almost made two of her writers pass out, who made her feel super safe, and all the iconic details about the skit of the night: Pope-ular! In the Final Thought, the guys want Nikki to throw her own after-party next time, and she’s all in on the theme they suggest.

Last pod/First pod of the year! Nikki’s got Brian and Andrew Collin with her to kick things off and wrap up the week. Brian’s suggesting everyone set a “reverse resolution” for 2025, basically, his fail-safe method to avoid failure. Nikki’s wants to cut out gossiping this year (which, let’s be real, sounds like a solid goal). The Golden Globes are this Sunday, and Nikki is feeling confident about her prep... No, she doesn't need more time, that would definitely just make things worse. Plus, she got a sweet DM from one of the presenters. Brian’s also trying to gossip less, but it’s so hard, especially after getting a ton of likes on a comment he made. In the Final Thought, Nikki’s making a bold statement: let’s stop shaming men for what they’re packing down there.

The best thing about spending Xmas in LA is that Nikki can get in to any pilates class she wants. Andrew finds that as he gets older he gets more emotional for passionate instructors. At least once a year Nikki likes to watch her friend Hamish get eaten by fire ants. On the topic of pain, Andrew tells his story of getting violently ill while on the road with Nikki from a bad batch of Étouffée. Brian has breaking news; No One Had A Better Year Than Nikki Glaser. Nikki's shares her new goal for 2025. In the Final Thought, Brian asks everyone to share their favorite Christmas song.

Nikki's Christmas plans got canceled, but honestly, she's not even that mad about it. It actually made her realize that being in a committed relationship means sticking by your partner when they're sick. Andrew totally gets it—it’s not that they’re selfish, they just get a little absent-minded sometimes when trying to do something nice, and he shares a couple of times he messed up in his own relationship without meaning to. Brian brings up the final Thursday Night Football gig, and they all start spilling behind-the-scenes stories about the writing sessions and writing live. Nikki’s been running sets to prep for her Golden Globes monologue, and she’s had this realization that people in entertainment getting facelifts clearly aren’t working hard enough. While on her press tour, Nikki says the Empire State Building is the spot to hit for promo, and in her Final Thought, she talks about the super successful but also nerve-wracking Instagram video she shot there.

Things are heating up for Nikki! All hail the queen—she’s been nominated for a Golden Globe, a Critics Choice Award, and now named NYT Comedian of the Year! Nikki, Brian, Sean, and Andrew chat about what it was like shooting promos for the Golden Globes. Nikki felt a little awkward because they were super cookie-cutter, but she felt better when Brian reminded her that no one looks cool shooting those things. You know where she never feels awkward? The NYT Crossword Puzzle—don’t mess with her, she’s all about that competition. They also review Emilia Pérez and other recent movies they’ve watched. Nikki, Brian, and Sean had a blast meeting Roseanne Barr. Nikki gave the opening monologue at The Hollywood Reporter’s 2024 Women in Entertainment Power 100, and she shares her thoughts on that experience. With Nikki being the first woman to host the Globes solo (which she thinks is kinda ridiculous to highlight), they ask her who her ideal co-host would be. In the Final Thought, Brian talks about his excitement (and skepticism) about trying hypnotherapy to help with his jaw problems.
