Summary

Nicole Arbour is an actress, influencer, comedian, and former NBA cheerleader. After a bad car accident left her disabled for most of her 20s, she overcame depression and constant pain. She tells Glenn how she found her way back to laughter to become the cheerleader, self-help version of Jordan Peterson. On this episode, Nicole and Glenn discuss the future of comedy, why SNL sucks, the dangers of a Harris-Biden administration, how to bypass the threats of cancel culture, and the ridiculousness of the women at "The View."
