When I smoke weed, I get lost in the music. I like to isolate each instrument. The rhythmic bass, the harmonies on the piano, the sticky melody. Hey, hey, hey, hey, careful babe, there's someone crossing the street. Sorry, I didn't see him there. If you feel different, you drive different. Don't drive high. It's dangerous and illegal everywhere.

I just spoke with the sound machine. Like all of my comments were that episode. Really? I would hate that episode with the passions. Well let's just try a quick experiment. Like you say, comments were the same. I would hate that episode. Really? I would hate that episode with the passion. Well let's just try a quick experiment. Like you say, like ask me a question. How was your weekend, Zach? Mm hmm.

Wait, one more. Ask me a good question. Wait, hold on. I gotta get this part set up. Okay, go ahead. You digging the new T-Mobile commercials that are coming out? They haven't gone for a while. Wait, no, that doesn't make sense. Yeah, because it's commercial related.

Them T-Mobile commercials are funny. They're very funny. I know we're biased, but I think they're funny. Holy cow, we did it again, guys. We did it again. They're playing them a lot. Yeah, they are. I hope people don't get sick of us.

Me too. Please don't, don't, don't run away. It's not our fault. We don't put them, we're not the ones who say put it on every single commercial break, sorry. But it literally, literal, literal, literal, it literally, literal, literal, literal, like Daffy Duck. It's literally on like all the time. Literally, literally, literally, literally. Literally. Literally. Literally.

Like Daffy Duck. It's literally on like all the time. I know. I know, but I think it's funny at least, you know, at least it's not a dumb commercial. It makes me giggle every time I see it. Every time. But again, I realize I'm biased.

Well, you know. When you say the gum was under your seat, Joelle, you seen it yet? I haven't seen the newest one yet, no. But I don't watch the TV like you or the sports. I bet you watch Zoe Deschanel's commercials. I have not seen a new commercial from her either. I don't know.

I'm on the streaming. I don't have the ads there. Oh, right. Yeah, I mean, in your defense, Joelle, they mostly play, I mean, when you see, you gotta be someone who watches live events, like sports and- Oh, every time my grandpa calls me,

he tells me about it. I saw your guys. The SNL, it was the first commercial on NBC of the SNL anniversary, and that was the first time- It was like we were part of the SNL. In our minds, we got to be a part of the SNL. You know what I mean? And it came on like every commercial.

How funny was Eddie Murphy doing Tracy Morgan? That was hilarious. That was my favorite part, I think. No, my favorite part was Will Ferrell and Anna Gostyer doing, They Not Like Us. They Not Like Us. Yeah. Do do do do.

What about, I think that was the music one though. Wasn't that the music one? And the other one that was funny was Sabrina Carpenter and them doing the wedding reception thing with the bridesmaids sing to the bride. Yeah, the bridesmaids and then Molly Shannon, the mom. And, and, and, and, and, dang. How much are you getting? What about Eddie doing scared straight? That was funny.

That was hilarious too. With Will Ferrell. Yeah, I knew Will Ferrell. You know, he's a, he's a, both of them Gs, straight up Gs of comedy. They're both like the biggest, you know, two of the biggest success stories that came out of SNL. Yeah. I'd like to see them do a movie together.

Yeah, me too. I'm sure everyone was thinking like finally together, those guys gotta do something. Yeah. What's going on, Joelle? Not much, man. Saturday, getting excited for concert season. You have a big show coming up.. You have a big show coming up.

I do have a big show coming up. When does this air by the way? Cause I have an announcement to make, but I'm worried that I'll be ruining it. Oh my. You'll tell me. Yeah, March 29th, we have the big Garden State concert, all going to charity for the Midnight Mission.

And Donald Faison has agreed to introduce a band with me. I'm introducing Coldplay, ladies and gentlemen. No, that's not true. We're probably going to introduce Carrie Brothers. Because Carrie Brothers requested that you and I introduce him. Carrie Brothers, I just want to sing a song for you. Yeah, I remember, look, man, I still don't think he knows the song. It's Tracy Morgan. I still believe he doesn't know the song. Wish enough a wise man to tell you a lie.

What's he say after that? The only thing true. When the brod tongs spring. That's what it sounds like he says. When the brods bring, that's what it sounds like he says. When the bro tongs bring. Now, listen, we're going to be in front of 6000 people. I need you to hold it together. You can't go rogue. We don't have Daniel there to be like, cut that Daniel.

So I can't say nothing crazy. Yeah. Joel, are you coming? You're invited, you know. I didn't know I was invited. I would absolutely show up. Sounds amazing. I think Mark, my assistant, made sure that you had a seat because, Daniel, you would have been invited,

but you don't live here. But Joelle, I think Mark has got you. I'll follow up with Mark then. If you would have said to Daniel, come through, I bet you he would have made it. Well, I don't want to ask Daniel to fly in, and I don't think I have any more seats anyway, but Mark was looking out for you, Joelle.

Oh, shit. Mark was looking out for you, Joelle. I had a woman who works for Bill's company who I needed her to get me an answer on something. And she was like, because the tickets are just all gone. And she's like, I'll give you that answer like tomorrow if you get me two tickets for me and my husband

to the Garden State concert. And I was kind of flipping. I was kind of flippantly like, yeah, I actually, I can't plan my spring until you tell me the dates of X, Y, and Z. And she's like, I'm on it. Literally an hour later is like, here's all the information, it's confirmed.

These are the dates, two tickets, please. Yep, that's how it goes. That's how it goes, Brody. Wow, Brody. In demand. Brody McDoody, you got a hot ticket. Wait, so wait, I can make it. Your concert is a hot ticket.

I can make a big announcement here, Joel, if you tell me when this airs. March 11th. Oh, then guys, you'll have known this if you really follow us on social media. But, so we did this amazing deal with this company called Veep's

and they shoot the event with 10 cameras, beautiful cranes, drones, like steady cam, it's like incredibly shot. And then a week later, anywhere in the world, you can stream the concert. It's 19 bucks or so. And here's the great thing. Thanks to our partners at T-Mobile, every single cent of your ticket price

goes to the Midnight Mission, our charity partner for the event. Oh, I love that. Isn't that amazing? Wish enough. No, it's so great because there were so many people who wanted to go, who couldn't go. The venue only seats 6,000 people and there was such incredible interest from all over the world and this enables people to see the show.

And then I was really, thanks to T-Mobile for real, like they came through because it's expensive to shoot it and with 10 cameras and a huge crew, but they are covering all the production costs, which means that every single cent of your ticket price goes to the charity. That's amazing. Shout out to T-Mobile.

Tell people what the charity is. The charity is the Midnight Mission, which is for those of you who don't live in LA, it's like the oldest mission in downtown LA, takes care of anyone with any needs who are living on the street, whether it be food, whether a bed, whether it's drug rehabilitation, mental illness.

They guarantee everyone food and a place to sleep and they will take care of you if you are in need, an unhoused in Los Angeles. And now more than ever, they're helping people with all these fires, people who have been devastated by the fires and need a meal or need a bed. It's just an incredible organization. They have like a hundred, a rating of a hundred on Charity Navigator, all those sites that rate charities. They're just incredible. And we have a real problem with people

not having housing in Los Angeles. So it just felt like the most appropriate charity to me. I love that. That's beautiful. What a great way to share it. And it'll be available now. Where can people get tickets, remind them? If everyone goes to veeps.com,

V-E-E-P-S.com, I don't have the, and just search for the Garden State Concert, I'm sure it'll be up there, but V-E-E-P-S.com. And the show's March 29th. It won't be up there because we're not streaming it live. That we didn't have the capacity to do, but it'll be up there as of April 6th,

which is my birthday, coincidentally. Happy motherfucking birthday. Wait, it's not yet. Not yet. Your birthday's coming soon now, bro. I know, and I don't even think I'm gonna be able to have a shin dig. My shin dig's gonna have to be belated or something. No, you're gonna have to shin dig something or another, bro, do you agree? No, brother, though, bro. I know, and I don't even think I'm gonna be able to have a shin dig. My shin dig's gonna have to be belated or something.

No, you're gonna have to shin dig something or another, bro, you only turned 50 once. I know, but I'm very blessed to have a bit of a traffic jam with work, and I'm so grateful for that, and I don't really see how I'm going to throw it right now. You know what the best thing ever is? Go ahead. Working on your birthday.

A lot of people poo poo on that shit. I think that's the best thing ever is? Go ahead. Working on your birthday. A lot of people poo poo on that shit. I think that's the best gig ever. You have to add the caveat that you love what you do. A lot of people don't get the luxury of loving what they do, so working on their birthday sucks, but you happen to be someone who loves your job. I love to work on my birthday.

It means, I like to work on my birthday and I like to work around the new year. You know what I mean? Cause it sets the year off right. And then it also sets your trip around the sun, your next trip around the sun. You're setting it off with a bang. I've been hanging out with your buddy, Harrison Ford.

I don't like you right now. Directing Shrinking. It's so good this season. My goodness. I don't like you right now for saying that to me. Jessica Williams, she just brought it the other day. That cast is so good. Yeah, it's so talented. They're winning awards finally. They're finally winning. Yeah, Michael Urie won the critics

choice award. I'm really happy for him. And just everyone is on this cast is so talented. And Jessica had a monologue the other day. Everyone was just like jaws on the floor like fucking hell these these people are so talented. I love work on the show. It's so fun. You got two episodes this season, right? I'm directing episodes three and four this season.

Has Harrison never come to the set with a fedora on? Do you mean like the Raiders one? Like Indiana Jones? Oh, no, he wears sort of a bit of a fedora-esque hat in some scenes when he's giving therapy on the bench. That's a bit of a running joke on the show. But no, he does never want an Indiana Jones style hat. What about a bullwhip?

Y'all ever put a bullwhip in his hand? No, I don't think there's been any scenes where the elderly psychologist has a bullwhip. Does he still have that scar on his chin? Why does he... He has a scar on his chin? I never noticed that he has a scar on his chin. Well, yeah, you know, that's a very iconic scar. Is it still there?

I don't know, Donald. I personally have not. Does he still point a lot when he's talking to people? Does he still do the point? The point? No, but... He doesn't do the point? No, but he's very funny and he's talking to people. Does he still do the point? The point? No. But- He doesn't do the point? No, but he's very funny and he's very nice and he loves working on the show. It's great because he just, he's not doing, it's not like he's there like,

like, ah, this is just a job. He like loves it. He loves being funny. He loves when he get laughs. He's just an awesome dude. All right, you know, I love him. Did you end up watching the Red Hulk movie or no? I've not seen the Red Hulk. That's exactly what I hear it is. I hear it's not a Captain America. It's a Hulk movie.

Yes, a hundred percent. Oh, really? Oh yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right. Well, I haven't seen that. That's what I'm learning, which is very interesting.

And also, you know, a lot of people poo-pooed on it when it came out. And then there are a lot of people that are saying, see it again, it's a lot better the second time, is what I've heard. But you haven't been yet once, and you love the Marvel-verse. It just sounds, you know, it just sounds like...

Here's the thing. I want Anthony Mackie to be a dope Captain America. And if I go to this movie and he's not a dope Captain America, I'm going to be pissed off. You know what I mean? And that's just what it is. I think it's a very awesome mantle to have, you know, or opportunity. However you want to look at it, it's a great role to have. And I just don't want them to do him dirty, man. Like, I personally feel like he should be just as dope as the Chris Evans version of Captain America. But, you know, the fact that they're saying that the movie isn't that good or people are hating on the movie makes me not want to go see it

because I like to believe that Anthony Mackie is a great Captain America. All right. There's Donald's thoughts on that. Just me. It has nothing to do that with him being black. 100 percent like maybe 75 percent is the reason why I'm saying that, but not 100%. I also like him as a person. Got it. I once hung out with Anthony Mackie

in Prince's Hotel Suite. See, this is what I'm talking about. Why'd you have to trump what I just said, man? Why'd you have to go ahead and trump what the fuck I just said, huh? No, my brain goes like, Anthony Mackie, when have I met him? And I was like, oh, I once had that random ass night

hanging out with him in a Prince's hotel suite. Was Prince there? Tavis Smiley was there. Yeah, Prince was there. It was me, Prince, Tavis Smiley. Captain America, Captain America. Oh, and also, what's his name? The professor with the crazy hair. Cornel West.

Cornel West. Prince invited us back to his hotel suite and there was a limousine there and they said, just go with these guys. And I got in and it was me, Tavis Smiley and Cornel West. That sounds like a great fucking car ride. No, it was great. We had a nice chat and then we went up to the hotel suite and Prince was kind of coming in and out

of the dining room area, but that's where he was like, I think eating or something. And I just sat in like the living room area with Cornell West, Tavis Smiley and Anthony Mackie. It's a good hangout. That sounds like a lot of fun. That's a random story I forgot about. That sounds like a lot of fun.

We have Judy Reyes here today, everybody, which is so exciting, because we haven't spoken to Judy in a long time. It's been almost a year or two. Longer probably, right? No, because we did the, no. I think it's been at least two years since she's been on the pod.

Yeah. Really. We haven't, because we didn't have her for the ninth season. And then we've pivoted to just talking to interesting people. So we haven't really had her yet. This is our first moment to grill her about what it was like to fake make out with you. No, we talked about that. Well, I'd like to talk about it again. I mean, we could totally,

we could talk about that all day. You see my puppy? Knocked out on the couch. I took her on a walk this morning, so she's toasted. I had the funniest, craziest coincidence. We were shooting Shrinking in Griffith Park, doing a hiking scene. And I got my dog into this, that's my Jersey accent,

you hear that, my dog? I got my dog into this, into this guy, this dog pack, you know, he walks dogs in a pack, which is great for them, and gets her exercise when I'm working. And of all places in all of Los Angeles, I'm shooting this scene with Harrison Ford and Jason and other cast members.

And I see this big dog pack and my brain goes, oh, what a cute dog pack. And then I look closer, I'm like, that's my dog pack. And I saw my dog of all places in the world. My dog accidentally visited me on set. I love that. Did she come running at you? Did she come running at you?

Yeah, she like lit up and he was like, hold on, hold on, let me just get this pack of dogs past this film crew. And then we had cuddles. That's awesome. It was just so funny. It was like, people were like, did you tell him to bring the dogs where you were working?

I was like, no, this is a hundred percent a coincidence. And Griffith Park is huge, by the way. Did you get the dogs in the show? That's such a good idea that I didn't even think of. I think that he was like, you know, he's on a mission. He's on a schedule. He couldn't be like stop and wait to be like. Plus it would have been distracting. It would have been distracting though if like, you know, the dialogue and all of a sudden you see a big ass pack of dogs going by.

No doubt. I hear Neil Flynn is on Shrinking. Yeah, you'd know that if you watched the show. Never watched an episode, except for yours. Really? Yeah. I don't think you've even, oh, you watched the one I showed you on an iPhone

in the parking lot? Yeah, I did. God, if I could ask Jesus for one of many things, God, you know, Yahweh. Really, you would ask that, not world peace or? No, I'm doing a bit, but I really wish that I could convince you to watch things. Like I get so excited and I go, oh, Donald would love this.

And I just have no chance of you getting to watch it. The only person I can get to watch anything in your household is Casey, because I watch something else. She watches a lot of your requests. She watched that damn documentary. I mean, it's not a damn documentary. It's a very sad documentary.

It's the saddest thing I've ever seen. Did she just watch it? Well, we watched, it's very disturbing, man. It's very upsetting. You talking about Gabby Petito? Yes, it is very upsetting. Did you watch it? Yeah, the first episode.

It's very, very, very upsetting. It's the saddest thing I've ever seen. It's so, it's the number one thing on Netflix. I don't know if it'll be when this airs, but audience, I warn you, it's very upsetting. But it's a story of Gabby Petito who was murdered by her boyfriend. And what's so insane about it

is because she was aspiring to be a YouTuber, there's so much footage of them because she was shooting their whole van life. And it's just absolutely upsetting from a domestic violence point of view. But I did think it was really useful to highlight for people who don't know and for maybe some police officers

will now have a new perspective on trying to spot domestic violence because I don't know that for maybe some police officers will now have a new perspective on trying to spot domestic violence because I don't know that the cops that encountered them handled it right. The thing to remember about abuse victims is like you're essentially, you're love bombed, you're emotionally manipulated, you're to some extent brainwashed by your partner and also often dependent upon them. Oftentimes they're gonna be more violent

if you try to press charges or escape. I think women are like six times more likely to be attacked after they file for a restraining order. There's not a lot of good answers and our system isn't set up to actually help these people. And it's difficult. I don't know that those cops, I don't know, again, I'm not an expert.

I don't know that the cops handled it wrong. I just know that if they had handled it right, she'd probably be alive. Yeah. Anyway, let's get happy. Let's get happy. Come on, let's get happy. But I do think that doc is worth your time, everybody.

It's really, really well done and informative about this horrible issue. And then the last thing I'll say is The Pit remains the best show ever. So fucking good. You need to watch it. It got renewed, didn't it? Yeah. It did, thank God.

They shoot it on the Warner Brothers lot. I'm fixing to get a tour of that set. Yeah, Zach, get it. You got to direct an episode. I don't know if I'll get an episode, but I got some ins to get a tour of that set. Yeah, Zach, get it. You got to direct an episode. I don't know if I'll get an episode, but I got some ins to get a tour of the huge set they built with that ER. See if they can get pictures of that leg up close.

By the way, Randall, what's that? I said I want pictures of the leg up close, the prosthetic one that exploded. Maybe showing me pictures of it, and Randall Winston, our friend, was on the set. I go, why does Randall get a tour? They were like, oh, he wanted to see it too. I was like, I need a tour. Oh, I love Randall., our friend, was on the set. I go, why does Randall get a tour? They were like, oh, he wanted to see it too.

I was like, I need a tour. Oh, I love Randall. It's huge, it's like the size of the whole soundstage. Wow. All right, is Judy here? Yes. Bring in Judy Reyes. Five, six, seven, eight.

You know, I'm very loyal to my friends at Panavision. What is that from? Oh, well, you know why I'm wearing it, though.

You see the back? Can you read it? Sheeshies. Sheeshies. It's a strip club called she she's. I do love, I do love the days of the strip club. I haven't been to one in a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very long time.

Every very just represent the years that it's been since I've been to one. Have you played a character who visits a strip club? Because then you can get rid of one of those verys. No, not in a very long time.

No, but they did do their first film. They did a small part of a film like a period 80s film. I can't even remember the name of it where they played.

They just played this this kid who is playing Space Invaders the whole time in a roller rink. So like the kids would come through. Are you vaping? No, no, it's a pen. I would never. Oh, okay. Hell no.

I do it in my thoughts. This is my thoughtful listening. I haven't vaped in a very, very, very, very, very, very, very long time. Did you give up ganja? No. Oh, I did. Cause Donald did.

I was like. I did, because Donald did. I was like- I did. I haven't smoked weed in like, since November. Longer than you haven't been in a while. No, no, no, no, no. I was just done with it. I was doing it every five minutes and I developed this little cough and everything like that. And I was like, I don't want to smoke weed anymore.

He was fully addicted. He wasn't enjoying weed anymore. He was fully addicted. He wasn't like enjoying weed anymore. It was bad, like, you know, it was a type of habit where I was always at the ATM machine. I was always at the freaking dispensary. I was always, you know, I was, I graduated, I wasn't smoking joints or blunts anymore. I graduated to the bong because I felt like

you could get higher with the bong. I was buying all types of wax and all types of freaking, you know, I was dabbing all of that shit trying to reach a level that, you know, that you couldn't reach that I couldn't reach. And I was like, so you could only reach with meditation. Well, I don't know about the meditation part, but I just and then what sucks is once I quit, that about the meditation part, but I just, and then what sucks is once I quit, that was the worst part. After I quit, then all of a sudden the anxiety kicked in and, you know, I went on this, this, there's something wrong with me run where I got every test I could possibly get, blood

tests, et cetera, et cetera, to find out if I was dying or not because it had to be something. Wow, you were dying even. Yeah, dude. Well, I mean, he had such withdrawal symptoms that then he then start, you know, because he had been smoking so much. And so he definitely went through withdrawal. And because he's a bit of a hychic chondriac, he assumed those withdrawal symptoms meant

he was dying. And so every blood test, I got a colonoscopy, I got an endoscopy, I got all of these things. All the scopies. Yeah, all the scopies. You gotta get all the scopies after 50 anyway. Well, that's true, but I went extra hard. So how's your rectum, all good?

My rectum's good, my chest and all of that stuff is good. I'm cleaned out. Joelle's is good. I'm cleaned out. Joelle's covering her. You're cleaned out. I'm all cleaned out. No, no, no, you don't do the smoking. Do you do drinking? Do you drink?

That's the one thing that has fallen back into play, and that's more dangerous than smoking. I thought you said you were just drinking once in a while, like on an occasion. Yeah, well, once in a while on occasion's an occasion. Yeah, well once in a while on occasions turned into quite a bit right now. That's stupid, come on. Yeah, it is, it is a little stupid. But I made a pact with myself, I said, you know what?

February, today's the 22nd of 2026, is the next time I'll... You'll have a smoke weed again? No, I'll drink. I'll have a drink. Wait, you're gonna go for a year? You just committed to a year? Yeah, because I'm not. Just now?

No, not just now, I did that. I did it earlier after waking up, hungover. And I was like, yeah, you know what? This is stupid. What am I doing? I mean, just, I want to. I threw away one vice to pick up another. I wanna support you, but you can bite off a smaller chunk.

You could say I'm going to do six months. OK, how about we'll let's do one month to. How often do you drink down? Is it an everyday thing? No, it's not every day, but it's enough to where it's like, you know, it got to a point where it was like, wait a second, you had a drink three days ago, man. You don't need to fucking. But also that hangover at 50 doesn't fuck around.

It sucks ass, man. Like my face is all swollen, my hands are swollen, all of that stuff. I was like, I'm... And then also, you know, I'm a hypochondriac, so immediately I'm like, diabetes. I'm dying. I'm dying. I'm definitely dying. I'm dying. See, you gotta drink vodka because there's no sugar in vodka. I don't want to drink it all. We're trying to be healthy around here.

I think so too. We're trying to live as long as we can. That's our new goal. I just had a, I got a hip replacement seven weeks ago. How do you feel? I feel good today. You know, I have a little bit, I had one four years ago. I had my right hip replaced and now,

because I have RCO arthritis, so I had to get this one done. And I don't know if it's because I don't remember how much that shit hurt, but my recovery is taking longer. But- What do you do? What's the recovery? You have to do PT and stuff? You have to do PT.

I just started PT this week., they move your leg around, you have to massage the wound, then you gotta get stronger. Um, and at this age, you literally see like one leg is like hanging when the other one is stronger because the muscles aren't working. But all that to say that I started doing, um, edibles and sleep CBD because the the oxy was scaring the shit out of me. Oh. So I was I was doing the edibles. Oh yeah. They gave you oxy for your hip replacement? They do. It's so bad. It's like the first two three weeks, like really small milligrams and I got out of the hospital the day after the fires.

And then when I try to go to the pharmacy, there's like a shortage of Oxy in all the pharmacies in town and shit. I'm so scared of that shit. I don't even want to take it once. It's very scary. I don't even want to take it once. They're trying to get you.

No, they're very, they're way more, they prescribe it way less these days, but I'm afraid that I would just fucking love it and be like, oh no. There's no way not to love it. There's no way not to love it. And that is the problem. You know, like you wanna, you just,

the world is a better place the minute you take one of the fucking pills. But it helps to cope with the pain. Yeah, it's very, very scary. Yeah, so how did you, you had to moderate yourself to not just keep taking it. I had to moderate myself. I refilled it. Uh, one time, um, I was doing okay with the pain and that's when I started to get,

get the CBD edibles. Cause I didn't want, I couldn't go to sleep unless I took an Oxy. So because the pain and the discomfort is really bad. Once that goes for me, I had to put myself in like a position. But of course I'm menopausal and I pee every five minutes. So the second I go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, then it's a whole procedure to get back in bed

in a position where it doesn't hurt. One of the menopausal things is that you pee a lot. Well, your bladder is not as strong. So you just pee a lot more. Do you all see the video of this African-American woman having a hot flash outside where the smoke is coming off her head? When the steam is coming off her head, yes.

That was amazing. They said that when she was having a menopausal hot flash. Yes. It's bad between night sweats and hot flashes on set. I literally have like we're doing a take and I'm like, hold on a second. Yeah. And here I make a runs over with fans just to cool me off.

How long does the hot flash last? It feels at least 60 seconds. Because it feels like, you know, when you watch water boil, it boils, it's boiling and then you turn it off and it goes back down. That's exactly what it's like. I remember Aloma saying while we were shooting, she was like something about,

I'm going through the changes or something. The change, back when you couldn't call it by its name, right? You couldn't say menopause. You couldn't say menopause. Was they say, I'm going through the change or the change? The change. Yeah, I'm going through the change, I feel like I remember doing I remember

Whoopi Goldberg going through the change. Oh my gosh when we were doing this movie and she was like you don't understand You have no idea. You just don't get it like the heat that comes over you is like You take your jacket off in the dead of winter Fuck it. It's zero degrees outside. I used to sleep with sweatpants. Now I'm like a tank top and my underwear or shorts because eventually I'm like freezing and then in the middle of the night it's like and I'm dripping and then you dry and then

you're freezing again. And then it's like then you're freezing again. And then it's like. Donald, what are you sleeping? What are you sleeping? I sleep in a sweat suit. Do you keep in your panties? No, but when you said you sleep in your tank top and panties, a visual just came over me

and I was like, well. Just Judy saying the word panties distracted you from whatever you're doing. Tank top, panties. How does it feel? Is it sexy when I say the change? No, but. I mean, not really. You were talking about the change. You were talking about the change.

So I'm surprised that when you said panties, I had a shift because I was not prepared. I was not thinking about the change anymore. You're not ready. You're not ready. Men go through, like, men don't have a manopause. Yes, you do. When you, look, man, do you know how many times I go to the bathroom and pee at night now? I know, but that's been going on for a while.

No, but it's also because of age and stuff like that. I don't get the hot flashes. Yeah, age just changes. No, you don't go through that. We have like a libido. Man, there's no way that you guys can claim to go through anything that's close. Most men other than Donald have a decrease in libido.

I mean, it's not as much as it used to be. I mean. Donald is an outlier. I still have a very high libido. If you looked at a graph, it'd be like most men along the line, and then Donald would be way outside the graph. I still do have a very high libido. Oh.

He never went through that change. No, which is unfortunate for- For Casey. For my wife. How is Casey? She's great. How does she deal with your unchanged libido? We've come to an agreement that, you know, I'm very respectful of her, period.

And so I am not, we had a couple of therapists on our podcast and we used ourselves as guinea pigs and they- Wow, that's's that's ballsy yeah they're very they're very open yeah and so I I am very aware of her feelings and it's also so much better when she really wants to then when I want to and so you know I find myself masturbating a lot, but I do wait for when she's ready to go. I'm very excited about it.

That's good. And granted, it's not as much as I'd like, but I don't give a shit. I love my wife, and if it makes her happy, then so be it. Are there any rules about when you can masturbate No, I can masturbate whenever I mean, I don't want to do it when the kids are up. No my friend told me that My friend told me a friend of mine told me do you masturbate next to her a bit? No, that's fucked up. I won't do that

My friend told me that his wife and he have a rule that he can't masturbate when she's home No I'll be out sometimes I'll be like, babe and he have a rule that he can't masturbate when she's home. Nah. Sometimes I'll be like, babe, do you wanna have sex? And she'll say no. And I'll be like, well, I'm gonna go practice real quick. I'll see. I'll see. I'll see.

I'll see. I'll see. And she's like, I'll be here. My husband's a really early riser. I'm talking, cause he does a lot of work in Europe. So he's up like 3.34 in the morning. So our sex life with our age has gone from almost every day to just like once a weekend.

But it's always at 3.34 in the fucking morning. Really? That's tough. That's tough. That's tough. But we've gotten into that routine now. So he wakes me up and I'm like, just give me another half an hour. Or sometimes I just turn over. I think to wake me up, I turn over.

Give it to him. That's so funny. I hear that. I hear that. Well, sometimes when I'm spooning my body pillow, I your body pillow, I just give it to it whenever I want it. All right. And it doesn't complain? No, it loves it.

It seems to love it no matter whenever I'm ready. That's a line from Scrubs, isn't it? Like as I lie there with my body pillow, Katya. That's the other thing you guys, like you remember everything from that show. Well, we just rewatched it. That's the other menopausal brain that I don't remember. I remember when I watch it,

but like the stuff that we did and all the stuff, how we hung out, I'm like, it's slipping my mind. I know, well, we just, we have the benefit of just having rewatched it, so we remember a ton of it. You know, I wouldn't- Well, even after rewatching it. I don't remember a lot of it. Like we could rewatch it again. I'm like, I don't remember this episode. Let's take a break. We'll be right back after these fine words.

And on this show, we call upon his years of research to help unpack the story behind the godfather's birth from start to finish.

This is really the first interview I've done in bed. We sift through innumerable accounts. I shoot 35 pages, very much. Many of them conflicting, — That's nonsense. There were 60 pages. — and try to get to the truth of what really happened. — And they said, we're finished. This is over. They know this is not going to work.

You gotta get rid of those guys.

Listen to Chiquis and Chill Season 4 as part of the My Cultura podcast network available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Judy, we got to talk about your show because I just watched the trailer. I haven't seen the show yet, but it looked fucking amazing. It's really good. It's really fun. It's on ABC, right?

It's like the number one show on ABC. It's the, let me blow you up real quick. The number one show on ABC is a crime, I think it's a dramedy, right? It's a dramedy, yeah. Yeah, it's called High Potential. And with Caitlin Olson, who's just really, really funny, tell everyone who doesn't know about it yet about you.

Are you the chief? I play Lieutenant Soto. I'm the person in charge of all our police officers and I hired Caitlin's character Morgan because she's what they call a high potential intellectual. She's just ultra, ultra smart and her brain moves at a speed, at a rate that most people don't, and that's an actual thing. Yeah. She's like IQ of 160, right? Yes.

And it's based on a French series that has been a huge hit for seven years. And they've just adapted it and made it our own. And the response to it has been amazing. Our biggest fans, I find find are either 15 or like 50. You know, so it's like little kids and older women, my sister who's 62 fucking loves it. She never cared about anything. I was watching the trailer and it's so cool.

I love how much style it has. Like it really has a lot of style to it. It wasn't just like a procedural kind of thing. It was like when she starts going into how she thinks the crime happened, because she's like this genius. You see all the different ways, they flashed all the different ways that it could have gone down. And it was really well directed, really lots of cool style to the way it shot.

She's like a computer, right? She is. And then when you see what's going on in her head, when she's trying to put the crime together, they call it Morgan vision. So it's like a series of points of view that, that gives like them a really good chance to like mess with filmmaking and editing and stuff. It reminded me of Scrubs solely in that the camera got to be

a character in the show, which is my favorite kind of thing. You know, I'm directing Shrinking right now, which is so fun, but it's way more subdued camera than that. And so we have to pick my moments for any bit of flair. But in Scrubs and in High Potential, the camera is just as much a character. So there's all these really cool camera moves and stylistic choices.

The directors must have so much fun executing. They do, they have a lot of fun. They're really, really strong, experienced people, really bold. Caitlin is an awesome leader, really, really funny. Yeah, she's hysterical. Yeah. And a terrific actor as well, you know,

besides being funny, what a talented actor. And she's got a great opportunity to exploit both things. Where do you, which lot do you shoot it on? Fox. On Fox, okay. Fox, it's the first time I've actually worked in LA on a show, besides like a guest star, since Scrubs.

Really? Because everything's out of town these days. Everything's been Atlanta. Where was, that was Atlanta, huh? No, Claus was New Orleans. D.D.'s Maids was Atlanta, and I don't remember, it was in Vancouver, but that was a pilot that I was talking about. I was going to ask you what it's like to be on network television

again, but you never really got off of network television. You've been on network television. You're asking the wrong person. Judy's always on network television. Yeah. I mean, what was it like? DDS Maids was Lifetime, right? But the pilot was on ABC and then they sold it to Lifetime and the cause was TNT. Well, those are both network televisions though. That's a, you know. Well, cable. Yeah, but okay.

But now you're back on, now you're back, you're doing 22 an episode? How many episodes is it? This one was 13. Okay. Yeah, 13. And we got picked up so we'll probably be back for 13 again. Oh, you're just going to do 13. You're not going to jump to the 22 episode.

Does anyone do 22? Nobody. I think the most they do is 16. They don't do 22. No, Abbott does more than that. Abbott does way more than that, I'm sure. Really? Well, Abbott, I don't know. Joelle can look it up for me. I feel like because of all the different things that have happened in our society, strikes and COVID, they may have had abbreviated seasons, but I think they might have like one up.

And I thought that like Lopez Lopez or, or what's the other one? Well, sitcoms are probably doing 20, I'll bet. Two sitcoms on broadcast TV. Yeah. Right? Season two of Abbott had 22 episodes. There you go, look at that. Like us, right?

What did we do? We did 22, 24? The most we ever did was like 24. Uh-huh. Yeah. I mean, I'm not gonna lie. I would love to do that. I just feel like if we ever did a 20,

if I ever did a 22 episode season, I don't think I'd ever see my kids. I don't think I'd ever see my wife. It's different now, isn't it? Yeah, it's a lot different. You know, I want that money. Everybody wants that money, but don't nobody want that time. That time is like, ee, when do you see anybody? It also depends on what?

Is it a half hour? If it's a big cast, you won't necessarily work every single day, and if you're home. Because that's what I was like Manifesting in my meditation and shit. You like just want to work at home And I like please let me be at home because when the kid was turned For that's it. I had to leave I was leaving all the time and as wonderful as it is to work that shit is

It has an impact on your kids that, they're like this with my husband and I'm all jealous and shit. Yeah, and Donald, you know, Donald's very close with his kids. I mean, you're not gonna go do a long series in Atlanta. I said that to my agent. I was like, unless it's Star Wars or Marvel,

you know, I don't give, it has to be in LA. How old are your kids now, Donald? 11 and nine. or Marvel. You know, I don't give it has to be now. Eleven and nine. I'm in a nine. They still be. Yeah. Fifteen. They get mean.

Oh, no. My kids are mean already. My kids are mean. You have to ask permission to come hang out with his kids are precocious. They're mean already. They already mean why don They're already mean. Why don't you give them like, obviously they love their phones and shit.

Why don't you take the phones away? That's what I was going to say. That's what I do. That's my only weapon. I say, keep it up. I'm taking your phone. One more word. I take your phone.

And it's just- Tyrone, you don't do that? Oh no, of course. Absolutely. But that only, you take it and then they start annoying the fuck out of you and you're like, here, please take your phone. Just take your phone and shut the fuck up. Take your phone and shut the fuck up.

I got this lockbox thing that I, from when I'm writing. And you put your phone in here, right? And you put it in here and you put this on top and then you dial in the amount of time. I usually do 30 minutes so I can't look at my phone and I'm not gonna do anything for 30 minutes. You could do this with your kids' phones when they piss you off.

You'd be like, you know what? You just earn 24 hours in the lock box and you put the phone in there for 24 hours. Now we do days. You do days? Yeah. I do, I mean, it's such a problem with the phone, right? Especially when they're a teenager, it's kind of like an impossible thing to gauge.

You know, so I do have like two hours, no screens, but I don't have anything to do. I don't care what you do with your time. No screens for two hours. I take them, they get home two hours, no phone. You can have it later to talk to your friends, that kind of stuff, because it affects academically. It makes them depressed. They can't keep, it really, really is. It makes me depressed.

I can't imagine what it does to a teenager. And you can't escape everything that's happening in the world. You know what I mean? You're looking for anything, escape and resources. My kid is trans, so they're kind of terrified. So it's just all of us weaning ourselves away from all of the stuff that's really scary

so that you kind of like connect. Let's take a break. We'll be right back after these fine words. I'm Mark Seale. And I'm Nathan King. This is Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli.

I'm Taylor Gray. And I'm John Lee Brody. But you may also know us as Harrison Dula, Spectre 2. Tabin Wren, Spectre 5. And Ezra Bridger, Spectre 6 from Star Wars Rebels. Wait, I wasn't on Star Wars Rebels. Am I in the right place? Absolutely.

And we'll have plenty of other fun surprises and trivia too.

Oh, and me? Well, I'm the lucky ghost, Kruse Stowaway, who gets to help moderate and guide the discussion each week. Kind of like how Kanan guided Ezra in the ways of the Force.

Listen to Potter Rebellion on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. How has that been for you, Judy, having a trans child? You seem to be such a great mom and was it an adjustment for you? How did you? You know what's so funny? In the fifth grade, my kid came out as gay. They said, mama, what would you do if I told you that I liked girls? And I was like, what? That's amazing. No, of course you have my support.

Me and George were like losing our minds and then COVID hit and then they'd go to middle school. I think it was the end of the sixth grade, the seventh grade. I said, I remember, I might cry. I come home, we're on our way. We picked them up from school. We're on our way home, I think it was.

And they said, they're really quiet. I said, what's wrong, Ray? I said, what if I told you that I'm really a boy? And it wasn't like when they were told me they were gay. I was like, well, I mean, you're so young. You don't understand. I mean, let's wait and see. Of course you can be whatever you want. And I still feel their heartbreak at me not react or respond.

And I, and I was overwhelmed by how challenging it was for me, like for that first six months a year. And then they were, then they're like, they want to change their name. They didn't want to use their dead name. And I remember, because my husband has a mouth, he's like Jersey mouth, like, fuck this, fuck that, fuck you, fuck everybody. And he's very, very supportive also. But then one day they said, I want to, I don't want to use my name anymore. I said, we want to, we want us to call you? And they called, I want you to call me Nico. And George is like, fuck that. I'm not going to call you fucking Nico. Fuck that shit. No. And they started screaming at each other because they're close like that.

And I was like, hold on, hold on, hold on. And that's when I said, why don't we use your middle name? I named them Ray. It was Layla Ray. We don't say Layla anymore. R-E-Y, which means king. I said, why don't we call you Ray until we decide what name you're going to be called. Okay. And it spelled like the first half of our last name and it means king. So that way it's still male. They were both really quiet. I said, I'll try. And then we picked them up the next day at school. Bye Ray, Ray, bye Ray. Yeah Ray, I'm gonna see you tomorrow Ray. So they just, and they've been Ray ever since.

Wow. That's such a pretty story. I love that it's a part of your maiden name or your name you go by. It was also to honor my dad, you know, at least, because he was very ill and dying and stuff. And the schools now, I believe that, you know, we're in Los Angeles, very progressive area. It's all, they feel okay in school, I imagine. They feel okay, they feel okay, but the reality of the world is we're always in front of them.

So they always wonder and they're always asking, you know, and when we travel, am I gonna be able to use the bathroom? Is somebody going to come and attack me? Things like that, because they don't have the non-binary bathrooms anymore as a result of this law, or they won't, you know, because they have to follow the law. I'm not sure how it's going to apply, but we travel enough to really consider those things. And the permission that people are feeling now to just verbally assault others because they're not what you want them to be is my point of concern. It's very interesting how people are starting to behave now. It's like, wait a second, you were always like this. That's what it is. You just freaking hit it for so long.

And now people have just no problem being offensive. They don't give a fuck who they're offending. You know what I mean? The sig-hiles are flying left and right. Left and right right now. And you know, my wife had an experience with somebody who used the R word, right? And my wife was like, please, special needs.

And they were like, no, Trump said it's okay now. Yeah, that's what it is. Everybody's being given permission. There's this permissive nature where people can go ahead and between doing the sickhiles and carrying their flags and calling people derogatory names for whatever their gender identity is or their race or you know what I mean? It's just... Sagan Hiles is crazy. I can't help every time I see this, I'm like, I'm so glad my father isn't alive to see this. That's the first thought that comes to my mind.

I can't imagine. I mean, we're real close to it, guys. I'm sorry, but it's starting to feel like there's going to be an explosion of some sort. You know what I mean? And I don't know. It just feels like we're getting close to the last of it. You know what I mean? I'm serious, bro. Like the last of it, you know what I mean? I'm serious, bro. Like the last of us? Yeah. It's gonna, something like that's gonna have to happen, right, and people are gonna blow up.

And what I also see is a lot of people coming together. Yeah. You know, which I think is key, right? Because we all know that that's, it's the divide and conquer, and then they can take over. When it does happen, Donald, that there is going to be an explosion, that's when you're gonna have like your civil rights

type of movement against what's happening right now. Well, let's pivot to a more positive conversation before we end. Judy, there's all these rumors of a Scrubs reboot.
