Nikki Glaser is a Swiftie with dark thoughts | Whiskey Ginger with Andrew Santino  

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

I always love the episodes with Nikki

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

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.

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

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!

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!

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

It’s always a good show when Nikki is on! She’s killed it on all of them

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

the anger on Andrew's face repeating FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS made my day.

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

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. 😂

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

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.

Nikki is a super baddy and ALWAYS funny ❤

Truly a super great conversation. Great job you guys!

'It's going to get you anyway, don't get yourself.' I dig it.

Nikki is gorgeous! Great episode!

It's the little things for me I super appreciate: that music during the opening of the show is just *chef's kiss* And I'm also in love with Nikki Glaser.

Nikki is amazing, and I love to watch all the podcasts you are on.

Nikki is amazing and I hate that she reads comments about people hating on her. I will always go see her live any time she is in Austin

You “love the glaze” I vet yue dew unt lilttle dwertee boyy 😂😂

Love you Nikki. Always appreciate your comedy and honesty 😊

I ❤Nikki because she handled depression so great during pandemic. She (and her family) got me through the weird depression shyte , 5 miles a day , St Louis , Anya 🎉😂 thanks Nick ❤ you!

These 2 are great together. And Nikki aging well.

I have legit watched all the Nikki episodes her on the pod is the best

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

Love Nikki so much!! two of my favorite comics, love to see it!

Nikki PDG 😢 you're my comedian crush and I'd probably cry at the TMZ footage.

Nikki you kick ass! You are the best female comedian!

Nikki was so relatable this episode. Chilled honest refreshing. Loved it

Literally fishing by myself listening to this. 🖤

Nikki is funny and so down to earth.

I love that you’ve met Taylor Swift and that Nicki is a Swiftie🥰❤

Saw Nikki in Ithaca NY and she was amazing! Always love her on podcasts

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.

Ketamine is like a Natasha bedingfield chorus IRL cause it just “takes me away…..🎶”

I think about it everyday. Have tried before. But, as Mark Twain wrote in his autobiography, "When you die, they will lament you for a day and then forget you forever ".

Minnesota has 11,842 lakes to choose from, Andrew! 😉

Funniest line ever “that’s never gonna happen” lol

As a guy from Delavan who grew up on the lake.. I felt that deep in my soul.

Nikki has always been one of the greatest

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 ❤❤❤

Didn't know her. Love her already. The suicide thing is a little hard. My baby cousin just passed from it but I also understand talking about it does help one not act it out. Thanks for the conversation today.

COME TO NEW MEXICO PLEASE

I’m a big fan of you both … random dude from the south side of Chicago

"Don't do it." Not me instantly taking that as a challenge.

Least neurotic Niki episode. Actually a pretty good conversation

Omg Swift??? That’s corporate treadmill processed and packaged music. Gross. 🤢

"If there are gods how could I stand not to be one!?" - Nietzsche Glaser

She's insane. she one of the funniest roasters ever.

Just knowing that others are going thru something mental helps a lot, knowing that others aren't alone. Thanks for not having it all together.

So much love for Nikki!! ❤️

🎶Please don’t go, don’t goooo, don’t go away🎶 Now I got that song stuck in me noggin!

i knew what dark thoughts meant when i read the title but damn. love you nikki

Nikki for the love of god we all love you so much, you're hilarious.. anyone that has any level of security in who they are will find you funny

Her shower Guitar with her little nephew bit from last fall was amazing at the store she had my dying in the OR

"You're in your groove!" That was a Stella got her groove back reference!!!!

Never seen that Taylor Swift episode of punkd LOL. I was crying laughing

Nikki yeah Santino is up there one of the greatest, but your really memorable you put yourself out there like no other your one of a kind that means a lot to me. Life is as beautiful as you are

Nikkis like the female best friend you have in highschool who you wouldn’t normally interact with but shes so quick and funny that you match well, like a sister who’s your best friend

Nikki Please Don't Go! Loved this episode. You two are a great duo! Real chat, and so many laughs.

I honestly love Nikki ❤❤❤

She’s mellowed over the past few years, really enjoyable watch

Toni I 1000 percent feeling on the quitting and fishing on a lake to the end of days you just became 1000 percent more relatable I love you

Great cast. Love you both! Nikki, I am a 55 year old Pennsylvania woman and really enjoy you as a person and comedian. You are so self deprecating. but you really are pretty, talented and funny!

"How did my mom get your number?" 😂 Nikki doesn't see how quick she is too

lmao that punkd clip was hilarious. smacked by the wave lol

Been a fan of Nikki since her TV show Not Safe! I love seeing her on every pod, and I've been bummed since that show got cancelled.

❤❤ Nikki stay here , we love you

Nikki your so good at pumping everyone's tires but your own! Words of wisdom... Brace yourself.... When you stop giving a shit what other people think you will feel better about yourself 🤣

Didn't know who Andrew was. Watched because of Nikki. Liked Andrew a lot. Just subscribed

Love Nikki! Great stand up, will catch a live show soon.

I’ve actually spotted Nikki in St. Louis a couple of times. The first time I was stunned & stopped in my tracks. The second time I was much cooler, & pretended like I didn’t notice her.

Totally understand this lady ❤

I struggle with suicidal thoughts, too. Nikki Glaser, thank you for being so honest. You're beautiful, talented, and a great orator.

Nikki look at the God damn comments. We love you

Nikki read the bells jar and thought, sylvia plath was right this is like dying in a warm hug

Saw Nikki and immediately clicked, love her! 💛

I'm glad not to be the only one thinking about it.
