Nikki’s all about people who make a career change later in life, while Brian thinks there should be limitations. After some hellish rumors on the internet, Nikki and Brian clear up some stuff about the Golden Globes mid show bit. They also give props to some game time decisions that made Nikki’s showing on point. Nikki is reading Let Them by Mel Robbins and it’s helping her not stress about what people think.
