‘I’m sorry you like hamburgers and you’ll miss them forever but you had your fun and it’s over’: so says straight-talking comedian, Nikki Glaser, to everyone who says they are not ready to forego meat because they like the taste of animal products. A committed and outspoken ethical vegan, Nikki is tired of the anti-vegan arguments and not afraid to call people out on their apathy, as Evy discovers in this hilarious, in-depth discussion with Nikki about everything from being a vegan in comedy to the provocative but righteous billboard she’s just waiting for PETA to pitch to her. Also on this episode...

- Nikki shares her ambition to work veganism into a future set.
- ‘Guess what? You don’t get to do everything you want. Sorry! Sorry! Just because you like something doesn’t mean you get to do it!’.
- How getting a dog forced Nikki to confront her questions about the ethics of eating animals.
- We discuss posting vegan content on social media to an unsympathetic audience and Nikki says you should check on her when she’s posting a lot of vegan content.
- We talk about the challenges of transitioning to veganism when you’ve had an eating disordered mindset.
- Nikki bemoans the fact that PETA haven’t offered her a naked billboard campaign yet.
- What it’s like to be a vegan in comedy and how Nikki handles derogatory remarks about veganism from her peers.
- ‘But what about the plants’; we discuss the most tiresome argument levelled against veganism.
- ‘Vegan Propaganda; Palette Cleanser’ - Nikki shares her vegan activism strategy for social media.
- ‘Fish is an interesting food… you know it’s gone bad when it smells like fish.’

| 0:22.1 | and I am so excited to share this interview with you with the incredible comedian and woman, |
| 0:27.7 | Nikki Glazer. She's a stand-up comedian, actress, podcast host, radio host, and television host, |
| 0:34.0 | and she's also my friend. I met Nikki on Dancing with the Stars last year and I've just been |
| 0:38.9 | so looking forward to this episode ever since she said, yes, I'll be on your podcast. We met in |
