00:28about it my dear friend Sasheer Zameda she gets very mad when I don't say her
00:33full name she got it for me for I think my birthday she was like you like dumb
00:38things this is the dumbest thing I could find and she's right it fits nowhere and
00:42it looks ridiculous but I love it do you get a lot of like compliments on it
00:46people are like my kid would love it I'm like I'm very old it must be hard to like
00:51lose your phone as well it's very hard to lose my phone I once left my phone oh
00:55oh there it is I once left my phone on the roof of my car because I'm forgetful and
01:02the only reason why I knew it fell off is because I saw this unicorn head bouncing
01:06down the street after I heard a thud and I was like that's my phone that's it so and
01:11I only had like a little crack now whoever made it should now give you like a life
01:14supply of unicorn they should but there's like it's a it's like one of those cheap
01:20little dudes from like Amazon or something oh I have a tinder message
01:23take it away now you're here to talk about your Facebook show yeah loosely
01:29exactly Nicole yes for those who for those watching who don't know what it is
01:34what's your best description the show or Facebook watch because people have
01:38questions about both know the show well my show is about a woman named Nicole it's
01:45loosely based on my life in my early 20s when I was trying to make it as an
01:49actress in New York and I spent a lot of time being like I'm gonna be an
01:52actress but also I'm gonna drink all night and mess up and not go to work so
01:56it's just a lady who makes a lot of mistakes but like it's still lovable
02:01that's awesome now it first originally aired on MTV yes what's your favorite part
02:06of having it air on Facebook and do you get to look at the reactions people have
02:10on Facebook because you can see them instantly yeah everything is instant on
02:13Facebook like you post it and then almost immediately people are like I love it I love it I love
02:17it I hate it why are you on my
02:18Facebook and it's like cuz it's now TV get used to it would you ever like
02:23interact with them too or um I don't but there is someone who is paid who
02:29people like if I interact it with everybody it would take if that would be
02:35my job you know cuz I'm not I don't I don't consider myself an influencer and
02:40those like influencers have to keep engaging I'm an actress on a social media
02:45platform so it's tough it's a tough thing to to navigate I try to answer
02:49everyone on Instagram which is owned by Facebook so I'm like now as a comedian
02:56you have quite the career and one day I really want to ask you about was your
02:59Saturday Night Live audition uh-huh what was that like when you when you got the
03:04call first audition what was your reaction um I'm not like a lot of people I
03:11don't get super excited because I'm like this could be taken away from me or I
03:15can't have it so like I got the call and I was like oh this is this is wild okay
03:21so
03:22what happens now that was the first time ever tested for anything so they tell you
03:26what characters they want you to do based on your tape or your live audition and
03:30then they picked three and one had tech so when I got there they put me in I think
03:37was in Andy Samberg's dressing room and they're like come on come give the tech
03:41guy your text cues and stuff so I was like okay so I was in the tech booth with
03:44this man and he goes you okay watching some auditions and I was like I guess so
03:50I watched three people audition and it was weird cuz I was like cuz there's no
03:54laughter so I was like oh great I'm fully prepped for this and then I I had the
04:00best time auditioning like I wasn't nervous because I was like I'm not gonna get
04:04this and then they didn't hire anyone that year so ha ha what do you watch
04:09SNL now and it's kind of your take on how they're doing I don't really I don't
04:14watch it that much but um I watched it when my friend was on I've had tons of
04:18friends on so I would watch them but I think they're doing last season was
04:23really great like yeah but now it's just like I'm tired of Trump I don't I don't
04:28want to hear about him no more can we have a president who's like okay it's true we
04:33need that right just like someone who's not up at 3 a.m. on his toilet tweeting
04:37like just a president who sleeps no you joke a lot about dating on your
04:43hilarious podcast why don't you date me thank you so another serious question
04:47why are you still single that's the whole premise of the podcast
04:52where I ask my friends about their dating lives and then I ask them why they
04:57won't date me some people have been real honest um but I don't know truly can I
05:04curse yeah go ahead I would literally like I suck dicks before dinner like I I'm a
05:09very giving person so like I don't know why maybe that's why maybe I should like
05:15hang on to something until after dinner I don't know are you single I'm saying I
05:21don't know why I'm still single either you're single I'm single yeah do you like ladies or
05:25men okay because I don't know your life ladies ladies okay how old are you 26

05:50little mad

05:57have been like you should have fell back out of your chair and been like no way no way no
06:01way
06:02this relationship will never work out no one thing you did on your podcast was you made your tinder
06:07profile public what have been some of the strangest messages you've gotten on tinder uh the strangest
06:13because of that or just I guess throughout your tinder well I haven't gotten weird messages
06:19because it's public because it's on my facebook page so they're fans of me so they're like oh
06:22I like this picture I don't like this picture this picture is great but I had one man messaged me
06:28he's like do you want to come over and eat some cookies and I was like sure I'll eat your
06:32cookie
06:32and then we had a whole conversation about cookies but I don't think he was like truly meaning cookies
06:36do you know what I mean I don't know it was very confusing I guess I don't know you should
06:41know
06:41you're single what do you say I've never asked anyone do you want to pick up some eat some cookies
06:45well I don't know I'm also fat so maybe he was trying to like get a fat joke in there
06:49but I truly was just like what kind and then we just talked about cookies for a very long time
06:54yeah I have very strange interactions with people that's pretty strange like if there's
06:59a crazy person on the street and there's a hundred people on the street the crazy person
07:02will find me yeah and I don't know why
07:07now you're currently single but yes a lot of people might not know that you were involved
07:13in a fraudulent marriage uh-huh uh can you tell us about that episode I think eight or nine of
07:21season one where you meet my husband uh so in real life in real life yes in real life I
07:27also got
07:27married um I married a small Indian man because I got myself 30 grand in debt in a year and
07:35I was
07:35like how do you make money fast nobody wants me to strip so I can't do that did you google
07:40that or
07:41uh yeah so I googled a couple things and then I went on craigslist and then I met with uh
07:47two men
07:48like one I went all the way to jersey I was living in New York at the time so I
07:52went all the way to
07:52jersey met up with him he was like kind of crazy then I went to dinner with this other guy
07:57at this
07:57like really cute restaurant on 14th street but then he was very much like you have to live with me
08:01you have to sleep on my bed and I was like this is a business deal and then I met
08:05this really
08:05adorable Indian man who was like you can live where you live and forward your mail to me and just
08:11make
08:11appearances at my house and we'll do our interview and then it we got married my wedding pictures
08:16are so stupid what are they like so I had bangs and I wore blue contact lenses so I I
08:22just kind of
08:23looked deranged I thought I was really cute I thought I was a little Kim uh and then my wedding
08:28dress
08:28so yeah did you wear a wedding dress yeah it was from David's Bridal I think it was $99
08:33he gave me 200 and I was like I'm gonna buy a digital camera and then the wedding dress
08:38so yeah and but you use some of that money for your improv classes correct um no oh okay
08:46no I was I wanted to you wanted to but I ended up getting new hair okay
08:52yeah I got like my nails done but then I I ended up maxing out more credit cards on improv
08:57yeah which is insane to spend money on something free now who would be a I guess dream guest for
09:04your why don't you date me podcast someone who maybe would help you not be single or someone
09:10you would want to date maybe a matchmaker okay I think a matchmaker would be really great because
09:15then they could talk to me for an hour and then be like I know exactly why people don't want
09:19to date
09:19you also I can match you with people that's probably the best yeah yeah I don't want someone
09:27who like I could date and then I tell them my deep dark secrets and then they're like no
09:31now in terms of the dating pool are you picky do you want to date another star do you want
09:34to
09:34uh regular folk I want to date any stars you have your eyes set on no no I feel like
09:43it's stupid to
09:44be like oh I love Channing Tatum well he's married and doesn't love you like and it's never gonna
09:49happen unless you're like super hot and steal him away like that's just rude though um but then I
09:55don't want to date like a normal person because like normal people don't get my my hours are very
10:00weird sometimes I'm not doing anything and then sometimes I'm just like never home and doing a ton
10:04of stuff so I guess someone in the industry maybe like a producer
