Joe Rogan (0:04)

That's it, we're moving, we're in motion. Nikki Glaser, aka Marshall's new best friend.

Nikki Glaser (0:11)

Oh, that's so nice to hear.

Joe Rogan (0:13)

Yeah, you're definitely his new best friend.

Nikki Glaser (0:14)

Really?

Joe Rogan (0:14)

Oh, for sure, didn't you see?

Nikki Glaser (0:16)

But I feel like he likes everyone.

Joe Rogan (0:17)

He does like everyone. But he likes you.

Nikki Glaser (0:19)

Right now.

Joe Rogan (0:20)

For sure he likes you. He's jumped all over you.

Nikki Glaser (0:22)

It was so awesome, I love him. I needed it so bad.

Joe Rogan (0:24)

He is a rare dog.

Nikki Glaser (0:26)

He is.

Joe Rogan (0:27)

It's weird, right?

Nikki Glaser (0:28)

It's instantly, like he looked, I told you when he came in, I hadn't even seen you yet, and he just saw me, and it's like we met, our eyes met across the room, and he just like bounded towards me. It felt so good.

Joe Rogan (0:39)

He runs to you like you're his best friend.

Nikki Glaser (0:41)

Yeah, like he's like, I'm seeing you again, yes.

Joe Rogan (0:43)

And forever.

Nikki Glaser (0:44)

Like I just got back from war, and he's my child, licking my face, just so excited.

Joe Rogan (0:49)

Yeah, he starts whimpering.

Nikki Glaser (0:51)

It was so good.

Joe Rogan (0:52)

I can't believe you're here.

Nikki Glaser (0:53)

It's so, and he lets you just hug him.

Joe Rogan (0:55)

Yeah, I've never had a golden before. Golden Retriever, they're like the nicest dogs of all time.

Nikki Glaser (1:00)

I've only had mutts that we've collected from the Humane Society that didn't, you know, that are abused and damaged.

Joe Rogan (1:06)

Can you get lucky with them? You can get lucky. But you can also.

Nikki Glaser (1:09)

And it feels so good when you were talking about your dog didn't want you to touch it for a year.

Joe Rogan (1:14)

That was my daughter, my oldest daughter, had this little tiny dog. It was part Chihuahua and part Australian sheep, Australian herd dog, shepherd dog. I forget what it is, but it was very much like a Chihuahua, a very small dog.

And he was terrified of me for a year. Wouldn't let me come anywhere near him. I'm like, come on, dude, I'm telling you, I love dogs. And it really wasn't until we got Marshall, and then he saw me with a little tiny puppy. It's like, oh, this dude is all right. And then he wanted to play with Marshall, so he got close to me and then I pet his head. And then next thing you know, he's hopping in my lap.

And then after that, he would just run to me and literally jump in my arms.

Nikki Glaser (1:50)

Yeah, and that's super rewarding to see that change. You see when a dog finally accepts love and has just been abused. It's beautiful. It's sad, though.

Joe Rogan (1:59)

When you're like, what happened to you? Why are you scared of men?

Nikki Glaser (2:02)

I would kill to know what happened to my rescue dogs that I gave to my parents, but I had them for two years.

Joe Rogan (2:08)

I've had quite a few dogs in my life that were rescue dogs. And one of the best ones I ever had, a friend of a friend found it eating out of garbage cans and she was covered in mange.

Like, half her body was hairless. It was really sad, but she was a really sweet dog. It was tough to tell how old she was. She looked like she was like two or three. And I took her in and within a month, she had all her hair back, she was fully plumped up.

Nikki Glaser (2:35)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:36)

And that was the nicest dog. She was one of the nicest dogs I've ever had.

Nikki Glaser (2:40)

Yeah, my dog that I got bit me on the first day and drew blood and I was just like, I'm getting rid of this thing. This isn't gonna last. I was just fostering it. And then it switched.

At some point, it loved me and I learned how to love.

Joe Rogan (2:54)

Why did it bite you?

Nikki Glaser (2:56)

I just went in too soon and it was abused before. It came with this whole backstory of like, the rescue people told me it was found in an alley behind a pizza hut and it was living off pizza and a kid tried. They had this whole story. I think a lot of rescue places make up stories. For sure. So that you're more inclined to buy, to get these things because they come with this story. Because I checked later on to be like, which pizza hut was it? Because I wanted to bring Luigi, my dog, back to the pizza hut it came from, just to see if it like remembered.
