Ep 3. I'm the Boat

Not Safe with Nikki Glaser is a television series which is a perfect mix of stand-up comedy and a conversation-driven talk show, fast-paced, and irreverent. Every episode hits home with a raunchy selection of sex, relationships and life, and takes topics that could be construed as taboo and turns them upside down. Each episode features several segments, including stand-up from Nikki, interviews with comedians and other guests, informational bits, and segments produced outside the studio.

In "I'm the Boat," the third episode of the first season, Nikki Glaser welcomes a celebrity guest, three stand-up comedians, and field correspondents for another hilarious episode packed with sexual education, outrageous comedy, and not-so-safe experiments.

The guest of honor is none other than the iconic comedian Ron Funches, who is always quick with a joke but also thoughtful and relatable. Nikki chats with him about infamous jokes, him being high, and his upcoming wedding, but not only that - she also tries to persuade Funches to join her in performing a "stunt" for the show - a more even-keeled and family-friendly misnomer for the sometimes-wild, occasionally inebriated and always-entertaining experiments the program is known for.

After a hilarious conversation with Funches, it's time for the stand-up comedians' segment. The comedians featured in this episode are Randy Liedtke, Anthony Jeselnik, and Rachel Feinstein, bringing their own hilarious take on sex and dating, tied together by the show's host and audience alike.

The next segment is a field report, in which comedian Jordan Carlos takes to the streets to interview pedestrians about their worst break-ups and then successfully re-enacts them for our entertainment. This segment is funny, heartfelt, and a bit painful all at once, as heartbreak is something many can relate to.

After that emotional segment, it's time for Nikki to dive into some more edutainment. She invites renowned PhD Dr. Debby Herbenick to the show for a segment to explore a topic the series doesn't shy away from - sex. Specifically, they discuss sex toys, what works, and what doesn't. The segment is illuminating, filled with hilarious content, and the tips presented may come in handy for some.

It's now time for the next "stunt," and Nikki and Ron Funches are headed to the San Francisco Bay to ride what’s called a Rocket Boat. There, they see San Francisco's iconic sights, speed through the Bay on a high-powered boat, and try to keep themselves from being catapulted from its deck. The results of their journey become the basis for many jokes and laughs during the remaining minutes of the episode.

In the end, the studio audience, along with viewers at home, get a good mix of comedy and education on sexual matters, alongside spectacular stunts and provocative questions. Not Safe with Nikki Glaser continues to provide raunchy yet informative entertainment that's truly fun to watch.
