Scheananigans with Scheana Shay - HOT TOPICS: Subpar Sperm, Siblings Sharing, & Swapping Spouses

Episode Date: January 13, 2025

This week, Janet & Jared are back for a round of Hot Topics. Would you exchange pleasantries with a stranger who walked in on you in the bathtub? Tom Schwartz once broke into Janet’s neighbor’s house? With Shanna Moakler’s recently claim that ex Travis Barker “already had Kim;” would anyone at the table date someone who had previously been with their sibling? Many fertility-related issues are due to sperm quality, so why aren’t men taking better care of themselves to ensure healthier pregnancies for their partners? Plus, would Janet’s husband, Jason, lie for her? The group prank calls him to find out, but things quickly go awry! Tune in to find out! Follow us: @scheana @scheananigans Co-Hosts: @janet @jaredlips The video version of this episode will be available on Scheana’s YouTube page on Tuesday, January 14th.  DISCLAIMER: This episode was recorded prior to the devastating wildfires across the Los Angeles community.

The following podcast is a Dear Media production. Hello, everyone. Today's episode of Shenanigans with Janet and Jared was recorded before the devastating wildfires here in my Los Angeles community. Since then, many friends and others in my network have literally lost everything. The loss here is just unimaginable. So I will be including some links in the episode description to various ways you can help support those who have been affected.

I held putting an episode out on Friday because the focus right now really needs to be on our community in LA. However, I realized that I have listeners all over the world and I still wanted to provide some levity in this dark moment. Moving forward this week, I'm not sure if we will have a new episode on Friday, but I again wanted to at least acknowledge what's happening in our city and provide resources and ways you can help from wherever you are. And beyond just donating and sending supplies, LA needs your prayers and for everyone to continue to extend grace to those affected by this tragedy.

If there is anything I can do to help any of you during this time, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you. From Vanderpump rules to motherhood and everywhere in between. Warm up the kettle, it's time to spill some tea. Let's get into some shenanigans with Sheena Shay. Because we're good as go Because we're good as go Because we're good as go Because we're good as go Because we're good as go Hello everyone, welcome back to Shenanigans. I'm back in the studio with Janet and Jared from the This Side of the Hill podcast. What's up? How we doing? Hey, hey, welcome back. We're back baby.

I know it feels like you guys were just here. Back so soon. I know doing? Hey. Hey. We're back, baby. Welcome back. I know. It feels like you guys were just here. Back so soon. I know, right? I know. Same.

Continuity, Janet learned one season of The Valley and she's like, got to match my look. Soon. I'm going to be like, hold for sound. So wait, how long have you all been doing your podcast now? Almost a year. It's coming through the year, yeah. Dang. Congrats.

Almost been one year anniversary. What are your favorite topics to talk about on there? Ooh, my favorite thing is to get Jason going off. He gets Jason's takes and his opinions, especially on pop culture stuff that he doesn't know a lot about. I love, because Janet and I keep up with the times, you know, and by the times I mean like Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Ariana Grande, important stuff. And so Jason, sometimes it's like the first time he's hearing something, he'll be like, wicked, a new movie with Ariana Grande.

What? Yeah, and so then you'll explain something to him, and then he'll be like, you know what, actually, I know it'll be like the worst take, you know? Oh no, that's the wrong take, but I like to hear it. It's nice to have like that perspective. Or if there's something legal going on in pop culture, I like getting his take, I'm like,

so can they break their NDA for this, or like, does this? Oh, that's good. Whatever, and he's like, well, that's not my extra cheese, but, and then he'll like give his little spiel on like what he thinks the legal take is. We basically love Jason is our favorite part of our podcast because it feels like there's a ton of gay and girls and like, you know, like the big BFF,

there's always a couple one, like couples, there's like the icons like you who can do it solo, but I feel like we have a nice little triage. And we kind of hit all the hit the mark. I also feel like our podcast, we have like a couple, we call them friends of the pods, like great ongoing listeners. But it also is still like a smaller safe place. So I feel like sometimes when we're talking,

I forget that other people are going to hear it. Right. So it feels like a fun. I bet you feel this way. And you have tons of tons of listeners. Yeah. But after doing it for so long, I'm like aware that everything I say can be used against me. See, we say crazy shit and nobody. Nobody.

Well, you don't always listen back, but I do do some last minute edits because I'll edit it out and be like, oh, you know what? That might sound a little, you know. That's a minor. Yeah. But one thing I love about Jason is that he's so gullible in the sweetest way. He is. You know, he's so book smart. Uh-huh. And I feel like he's someone that's easy to play a prank on because he'll fall for it. He is.

So do you think he would lie for you? Actually, I don't. I don't think he would. I don't know. I don't think so. Okay,. I don't think you would. I don't think so. Okay, so. It depends on the topic. I saw this story about this woman

who prank called her husband and said she was a nurse calling to verify some information. And so she had like different weight and all of that and was like, oh, so she said, you know, what her weight is that she ran several miles daily, that she's at the gym for more than an hour, several days a week. And the husband had his wife's back

throughout the entire call. And he said that if his wife said it, that it must've been the truth because she's very trustworthy. I don't think Jason would lie for me on this. I don't think he would. Oh, yeah. But I'm like, okay, he has all of our numbers, right? So maybe if we use... He normally answers weird numbers or like unknown numbers during the day because...

Okay, wait, so we're gonna call and you're gonna verify, like, wait, so you're gonna do the same thing? Okay, so obviously he knows my voice, I think, too. It's very distinct, so I'm gonna have to make a fake voice. Should we try it? But I want it. Hello, pop it. I can't do it. I think I could do Lisa Vanderpump, but I feel like people have heard me do that so much,

so I'm not gonna do British. I think the only other one I can do really is Southern. No, that was my audition for my take, so I'm not getting it. Oh, okay, yeah, you didn't get the part take. So I'm not getting it. Oh, okay. Yeah. You didn't get the part. Your audition. What?

To see if Jason would not recognize your voice. He would 100. There's no way I can disguise my voice for Jason. Okay, fine. So it's you, Sheena. Okay. So, okay, Southern. You're like, hello.

Oh, no, no, no, no, hold on. No, that's British. Okay, no. That's Southern Britain. Think Brittany. Think Brittany. Think Brittany, but not so harsh. Okay. I did this earlier you can do it

let me think so how do I start it hello is this mr. Caperna I cappella you're still doing some sort of British British now I got British in my head let's think about Paul Pauline we got Pauline let's start thinking that's southern aha mr. Caperna Cap Coperna, is it? Coperna. Coperna. Okay. Oh, that's good. Okay. I'm sweating. This is so exciting.

I love a prank. Oh my God, I feel like we're on Crank Yankers. Me too. All right, so remember you're Pauline or Paulette. I'm Paulette. Paulette. Paulette. From the Valley Village.

Clinic. Healthcare clinic. Yeah, health. Healthcare clinic. I forget what my doctor's so nervous. I'm so nervous. Cause you know what? Cause the stakes are so high. Cause if he gets mad at us, this is divorced. I forget what my doctor is. I'm so nervous. I'm so nervous. Because you know what? Because the stakes are so high. Because if he gets mad at us, this is divorce.

He's not going to get mad. He just might catch on or he might hang up. That's what I think. But I don't think he'll lie for me. Phone ringing. Phone ringing. Hello, this is Jason. Hi, Mr. Capirna. Did I say that correctly, sir? Hi, I'm close enough. Oh, okay. I'm sorry, sir. I'm calling. My name is Paulette. I'm calling from the Valley Village Health Care Center. Your wife, Janet Kepirna? Yeah. Sorry. I'm just calling to verify some information. She has an upcoming physical.

Can you please? Okay, you just have me really worried that she was injured or something. Oh no, no. Oh my God, sir. I'm so sorry. I'm so you're listed as her emergency contact. Okay. So I just needed to verify.

Is she 105? I need to. Did I lose you, sir? I'm here now. What do you need to verify? I need to. I couldn't do it. Yeah. I couldn't do it.

Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. We didn't mean to. I was going to see if you would lie about your wife's weight and work out. I couldn't do it. You're going to say she 105 pounds. I was like, this doesn't make any sense. I couldn't do it What I'm not close to 105 pounds

All right, well, thank you sir for time. We're gonna get back to the podcast. Okay, all right, well enjoy it. Bye. He's so mad at us. He's a little angel. I'm sweating. He was so mad at us. I thought she was in an accident.

Oh my god. I didn't even think of that. We didn't think that through. We didn't think that part through. We should have said this is in an accident. Oh my god. I didn't even think of that. We didn't think that through. We should have said this is not an emergency. He's an angel baby. He's so professional. He was like 105 pounds to make sense. Fuck you Jason. I'm not that far off. Let me tell you when you turn sideways you disappear. Yeah, I bet I know. Oh, what a sweet man, but also what a professional. Yeah, right. I knew he would answer. This is Jason. Yeah.

Ah, that was good. Okay. Um, we're going to take a quick little break so I can catch my breath and stop sweating. We'll be right back. I literally just can't stop sweating. All right, y'all.

Yeah. All right. We did it. We pranked. We did. I mean, he did fall for it in the beginning. Why are you calling me? So, but we didn't get to see if he would lie for you. You know, he's really honest on the phone because, you know, random lawyers or like court people or work people will call him and he'll never be like, someone will be like,

Hey, it's John. He's like, John who? Which firm? Like he'll quickly be like, I need to like, he's never like, Oh, hey, John. And like, like, he doesn't do that. He'll be like, John who, which firm? Like he'll quickly be like, I need to, like he's never like, oh, hey John. And like, he doesn't do that. He'll be like, which case are you calling for? So I knew that he would like try to, you know, figure it out quick. Get to the bottom of it. Right.

Oh, I feel bad. He quickly found out you were okay. Yeah. Immediately. Maybe he'll be like really nice to you today since I'm okay. And be like for a second. He thought he lost you Why did we go to health I don't know anyway, okay

Did either of you see Kim Kardashian Santa baby video to switch gears here? Unfortunately, I watched it once What in the acid fever dream? I mean look as someone who has once made a cringe music video in the past, game recognizes game. It was interesting. Artsy. What do we want to call it? Demonic? I don't know. I don't know. I don't I mean, I don't like to buy into all like the oh, it's so satanic stuff, because obviously she's trying to ruffle feathers. Right.

Mission accomplished. And I mean, I don't know. I think she's trying. I think it's that boundary pushing, like, art stuff. Like, she's trying to do, like, the Tyler Shields, the Terry, whatever, the David Chappelle, like, all that weird whatever. I don't know why she's bringing it back in such a heavy-handed way, though.

There was no subtext to it. There's no... I mean, art obviously is fully subjective, but it feels like if you're gonna come in with this, like... I mean, have atext to it. There's no, I mean, art obviously is fully subjective, but it feels like if you're going to come in with this, like, I mean, have a purpose to it, it seemed very purposeless unless, I mean, was it part of her skims campaign? If so, great. She's had so many successful campaigns. It felt like a miss for me, honestly.

It felt like a real kind of like she's had so many successful stuff going on that it would just like why? Maybe she just want to have fun. I don't know. It was very deranged though and felt, I love horror movies. So I thought, I was like, ooh, this feels like a horror scene but didn't land the way she thinks it did.

I kind of kept thinking, okay, at the end it's gonna like come together. There's gonna be some sort of thing that happens but then it just kind of ended. And I was like, so what was that? What did I just watch for four and a half minutes? I thought it would kind of have a storyline that made sense at the end or it would like, so what was that? What did I just watch for four and a half minutes? I thought it would kind of have a storyline that made sense at the end or it would like,

something would reveal its, I don't know. And I just kind of was like, okay, I guess I'll never get those four minutes back. But yeah. No, Brock was like, it's really long. It's like 11 minutes. And I was like, wait, what? And I looked, I was like, honey, it's like four and a half. Okay, it's 11, it's exaggerating.

But it felt like it. Watching it, it felt like 11 minutes. They've always done Christmas weird though. If you think about it, besides like Courtney and her like family pajamas felt like it. Watching it, it felt like 11 minutes. They've always done Christmas weird, though. If you think about it, besides Courtney and her family pajamas, and how she does that, at least on the show, they're freaks when it comes to Christmas. So I'm not surprised at all. Did you see Shanna Mokler's reaction video?

Yeah, she just... I feel like let it be. Tell me what happened. What happened? She posted, like, what did I just watch? And then there's a bunch of weird facial expressions, but it's just watch? And then there's like a bunch of like weird facial expressions, but it's just like, I don't know. That just sounds like you're one of Kim Kardashian's 250 million followers.

Yeah. Like who cares? I just think like Travis and Courtney seem like they're happy and love, they have a baby. They seem to have blended their families really well and have like a good dynamic. It's like, be happy, like that, I don't know that. That there's some peace in your life

I like that that your kids are seemingly doing well in you know, this whole thing and just let it be I feel like don't trash I don't know. I never like seeing Maybe like seeing it a little bit, but then you don't get over it but like when people are going through divorce, especially when they have kids and they're just like Hating each other. Yeah, I have a lot of that my life right now. So maybe I'm just kind of like, everyone be nice. She said in the comments of her video that Travis has already had Kim. Oh, I did see that. Yeah. I saw something. He said in his book, something about her being hot, I think. Well, there's been rumors because they've all lived in the same neighborhood

and they've been family friends for forever. So there's been talk that they've hooked up before. Honestly, I wouldn't surprise me because this family does not mind to be very... I wouldn't be surprised if there's been multiple people who've overlapped with different sisters. Could you ever marry someone who had a past with one of your siblings? Fuck no.

I don't think so. I'm such a jealous psychopath. Thank God my brother's straight and my sister's a girl because it's not really on the table, but I would absolutely not. It's hard for me to imagine that because I have a brother, I have an older half sister, but we didn't grow up under the same roof.

So it's different than a typical sister relationship. So I can't really imagine, you know, it's not like we went to high school together and like ever had crushes or, you know, the same thing. So it'd be an odd thing to imagine, but I don't think so. Yeah, as someone who just has a sister, I'm like, I could never imagine dating someone,

my sister dated and vice versa. But if, and I mean, no, but I'm like, I could never imagine dating someone my sister dated and vice versa. But if, and I mean, no, but I'm like, if there was someone that I had hooked up with, like many, many moons ago and Courtney and Justice for some reason aren't together and like she, like maybe in that sense, but I don't know. I could, yeah, I mean, a hookup thing, maybe, but. Yeah, but not like a relationship. And also the thing about that, like Courtney and all that family is they are so blended already.

So it's like, it probably feels a little less weird because there already is, like they have so many half siblings, like, or any step siblings, like the Jenners and I mean, just it goes on and on. So I feel like when you're in that kind of, it's like, who's friends, who's cousins, who's, I mean, as long as they don't cross cousins, I think they'll be good.

Yeah. Okay. Well, moving on to the next topic, there was an interesting thing I saw recently regarding fertility and pregnancy. And that was the understated role that a man plays in pregnancy. So when couples are struggling to get pregnant

or have a successful pregnancy, the blame is usually always on the women. You have so many miscarriages. It's like, well, you can get pregnant, but you can't stay pregnant. It's always the woman's fault, it seems. So while 95% of men will pass a semen analysis, the quality of sperm, it can make like a huge difference. 95%, which I mean, that's crazy. That's almost everyone is passing,

you know, but now they're finding that sperm is responsible for morning sickness because it builds the placenta. Preeclampsia apparently comes from sperm. Like if that's a scientific fact, then I'm like, so it's Brock's fault? Yeah. That's crazy. And then if you guys freeze embryos, can you choose sperm that wouldn't give you

the same conditions? That's a good question. I would have to ask my doctor that. I'm not sure. I mean, I won't even take the chance of carrying another, but also three out of four losses in the first 12 weeks I'm not sure. I mean, I won't even take the chance of carrying another but Also three out of four losses in the first twelve weeks is because of the man Not the woman because all

chromosomal Abnorralities are coming from the sperm. So everything is men's fault is what I'm hearing. Pretty much It's I mean it says 50 to 60% of the epigenetic expression of the child. Like that is determined by the man. We are really a patriarchal society because that is crazy that this like. It's all men's fault. And 95% of all men have perfect sperm.

Right? Like that's crazy. I mean, I know Brock does, but that's because he. Did you not get morning sickness. No, I didn't Okay But I mean I got preeclampsia So now I know man's sperm perfect Yeah, so basically I feel like you know, you're having a baby with someone. It's a partnership

It's got to be a partnership through and through So men need to be working on themselves in tandem to give their partners that healthy quality sperm. It's not just on the women and not just to create a healthy baby, but to ensure the health of the mother for a healthy pregnancy. Cause like preeclampsia, that was no joke, which advanced to help syndrome.

I mean, who knew? Yeah, that is so wild. I love an excuse to blame everything on men though, so I'm going to remember these facts. I was on TikTok and I saw this woman talking about all of this and I was like, hold on, I need to watch that again. And I just thought that was interesting that she said only 5% of men like don't pass. Yeah, that's, that said only 5% of men like don't pass Yeah, that's that's not check We're using men inches and men math for that, you know, I'm talking about right? Yeah, that's crazy

It feels like they're literally just being like oh men just go right through like 95% of you're good And unless you have are shooting blanks Yeah, then you are the problem Otherwise you are good to go and then all the other issues are on the one with you with the lady the firm standards are set too low no literally like they need like if 95% of people are passing it's like you know college you have like a bell curve or like yeah yeah that's great that's so I know that is another medical misogyny situation happening here. It is. That is nuts.

Oh my gosh. We need to be checking the motility. From the nuts. Yeah. Okay. We're going to take a break and I'll be right back. That's right. It's a new year.

It has that wow factor. You know, wow, it is a new year and it's a new year with color. Wow. It is a female founded family owned business with over 100 major beauty awards. And I know why.

Have either of you seen the story going around on social media of the couple who were caught

doing the nasty at the Buffalo Bills game? What? Were they like in a bathroom? What's a Buffalo Bills game, first of all? A ball. OK. Just make sure I got the right sports. What's a Buffalo Bill?

OK. George, like he sounds hot. No, that's a bad guy from Silence of the Lambs. Anyways, proceed. OK, so there's this girl on TikTok who said her dad works security at the Buffalo Bills games. And one of his co-workers

apparently told him that there was someone hooking up in the bathroom. And obviously, you know, they needed to be escorted, but they were in the men's bathroom. So he goes in and is like, you know, you guys

can't be doing this and you have to leave. And they're like, well, wait, guys can't be doing this and you have to leave. And they're like, well, wait, but our stuff is still at our seats. Like, let us just go back to our seats to get our stuff. And he was like, I'm not letting you back into the stadium. You're not going to get your stuff. You're being kicked out. And so he's like, where are your seats? I'll go get your stuff for you. So who leaves stuff in their seats, first of all?

But, OK, I mean, yeah, I guess. Well, here's the kicker. So the security guard goes down to the seats and there's, so this was a man and woman having sex in the bathroom. There's a man and woman at the seats and they're like, where's so and so and so and so. And he was like, um, they were caught doing this in the bathroom. They've been escorted out.

I'm here to get their stuff. Those were their spouses? Yep. Oh, my God. How did you know that? I'm really good at guessing things. Oh, my God. So, wait, they were... So, they were cheating on their partners? So, imagine me, you, Brock, and Jason are at a football game.

And Brock and Jason go to the bathroom and hook up? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That's your fantasy. Oh my god. I was gonna say, why, like, sports are the least horny thing ever. I can't imagine wanting to have sex at a stadium, but it's cause they were sneaking around.

And so then she did a follow-up video and apparently this happened a few years ago. It was just something that she heard recently. And the cheaters are now in a relationship. They've stayed together since that day. Well, I was going to say, because they left their stuff in their seats because they had their trusted spouses there to watch their back.

Exactly. Because I would leave stuff at the seats if Brock was there. You know, I'm not going to necessarily take it all. I wouldn't take my stuff if they. Oh my gosh. That's brazen. So obviously, they're like, no, no, no. Let us go get our stuff.

And then they'll come up with some story of why they have to leave. Oh my gosh. That's brazen. So obviously they're like, no, no, no, let us go get our stuff. And then they'll come up with some story of why they have to leave. Oh man. That's bad. That's really bad. Oh my God. The murder I would feel in my heart if not only did Jason make me go to a football game, but then cheated on me there.

Like that would be- This is why we didn't bring you to any Chargers games this year. The betrayal. the betrayal. I'm like, I'm sitting and Buffalo is- You have fun at football games when I've taken you. Yeah, cause you get VIP and there's snacks and- We've talked about this. It's, we like sports when they have like the buffet

and then they have that private room where you can go watch TV. I don't like sports. I like VIP experiences and buffets. Yeah. But oh my gosh. And Buffalo is like one of the stadiums, they pay people, I don't know why I know this,

they give people like free seats or pay like fans to go shovel the snow off, cause they get like feet and feet of snow in Buffalo before the games. And the seats are literally like covered. Oh, this is a place? Yeah, Buffalo, New York. Oh.

I will never understand why those cities on like the East coast and places where it snows, why they have an open stadium. Apparently, it will collapse because of the weight of the snow often. Oh, well, then that makes sense. Now I understand. Now we know. But, okay.

Because I've seen the same. I was like, just close the roof, babe. Imagine this. Your husband makes you go to a place that's cold outside to watch sports and then cheats on you there. I'm not kidding. Murder. With your couple friend I'm not kidding. Murder. With like your couple friend? Murder.

Yes. Murder. Dude, that's psychotic. I wonder if the spouses ended up like anything. Hold a Shania Twain. You know, right? Yeah. When Shania's long-term producer got husband, like who created all our hits, he left her for her best friend. And then Shania got with her best friend's husband.

Like they like became, and they're still together. Are there other instances of that? I wanna like- I'm sure there is are because it's like it's kinda a trauma bond type thing. Leanne Rimes and Eddie, when they had cheated on their spouses, Brandi and Dean did some like reality show together

and there was like some little buzz about them. But I'm like, nothing bonds you like your spouse is leaving you for each other. Who's the Dean? Leanne Rimes's ex-husband. Dean Sherman or something. Oh, I was, nevermind. Yeah.

And that's actually the Good Morning America anchor people. Oh, Amy. Yeah. And so they were having a secret affair and now their spouses, I think, are dating or something too. So it kind of seems like, because who else gets it like that other person? They're in literally the exact same situation so I understand that bond a little bit but man that's nuts. Yeah crazy I thought you guys

would enjoy that story. Moving from Buffalo to the Midwest I saw this video it's I get all my hot topics from TikTok. I saw a video on TikTok about how this couple reacted to a stranger entering their home while they were in a very vulnerable state. They described their reaction as Midwest nice. So since I have my resident Midwestern-er, Janet, in the studio today, I wanted to get your thoughts. So this couple is in the bath together, downloading each other on their days

when all of a sudden they hear the front door open and someone says, hello. So when they first heard the door open, they thought it was likely their daughter, but it wasn't their daughter's voice. One of the people in the couple thought it was their good friend or neighbor and responded, we're in the bath. Seconds later, a total stranger appears at their bathroom door while they are naked in their bathtub.

Oh no. The stranger quickly said she must be in the wrong place and the couple asked her name and where she was trying to go. Stranger mentioned their neighbor. They explained pleasantries and gave her directions explaining this as Midwest nice. One, what would you do in this situation? And two, is this Midwest nice?

Like, I feel like if that happened in Azusa, you know, it might not be so nice. Yeah, you have to be careful. Midwest now, I feel like you might get shot if that happens. Like Ohio's a gun state now. So I, woo, that's tough. I do think there is a Midwest nice quality. This seems too far to me though. If I was, first of all I would never get Jason in

the bath with me, he would never. But if we were like, I don't know, in bed or something and that happened, I think it would be like a, what are you doing here? Like who are you? Like it wouldn't be like a, hi, hi we're in the bath. I will say, this has happened to us in a roundabout way. Tom Schwartz once, this has happened actually two or three times. Walked in on you on the bath? No, no, no, no. There's been a couple of times when we've had people

or parties or people over at our house, and our neighbor's house has kind of the same setup, like the driveway's on the same size. They're both similar looking houses, like our house is gray, theirs is a lighter gray. And so Tom Schwartz once, we were having people over and he just, I was like, I think I texted him, I was like, just come on in when you're here,

we're like in the backyard or like we're in like this room. And he came in, he's like, oh my God, I just, I walked all the way through your neighbor's house. And I was like, why? He, cause he just opened, their's like, oh my God, I just, I walked all the way through your neighbor's house. And I was like, why? Because he just opened, their door was unlocked, I guess. He opened the door, walked in, and they have a young kid. So I guess they were nice about it. They're like, I think you're looking for next door.

But he walked like into their living room before he realized. Did they watch Vanderpump Rolls and know who he was? I don't know. Our neighbors were really nice too. I don't know if I, I think Jason like followed up with them was like, oh, that's so sorry. That was my friend, Tom, whatever. And then production one time for season one,

our show runner, same thing, opened. Cause same thing with them. I'm like, hey, we're almost done getting ready. Just come on in and you can start getting stuff set up. And he was like, oh, apologize to your neighbors for me. I think their door was locked at that point. And so he had like jiggled the lock and was like, hey guys, open up. He's trying to break in.

Like, it's us. And I think he texted me like the door is locked and then was like, oops, wrong house. So because our neighbor's house is a similar setup, this has kind of happened to our neighbors of our friends. Midwest nice is a thing. I mean, I lived for a spell in Indiana and I know obviously Midwest isn't just Ohio and stuff,

but there is this layer of like or this level of like Like oh like sorry to be in your way. It's like you're entering my house while we're in the bathtub But it's like kind of like this mindset of like oh, sorry Oh, can I get you a cup of coffee like like oh, it's very much like that like Minnesota like oh, how you doing? Can we get you know like that by yeah, so I mean that's like taking Minnesota That's taking a Midwest nice like to the extreme. But it feels also like Southern, like how you are in the South too.

It's like, like the Southern hospitality. Yeah. Paulette would offer some sweet tea from the bathtub. She'd be like, can I have my towel? I wish I could have kept it going. I really wanted to hear what he would say. Poor Jason. Oh my God, poor Jason.

Yeah. But yeah, Midwest nice. I think that's, they pushed it too far. I couldn't see Janet being that Midwest nice. Midwest nice to me is like, when someone lets you over in traffic, you wave. Like Jason and I always wave. Nobody in LA waves.

And everyone lets everyone over in the Midwest. Like there's no like, like that's yeah, it's all Midwest nice niceness. But there is, it can get a little darker than that. It's like, oh, we, you know, it's like, oh, let me mind my own business. And it's again, it's like, you know, it's like, oh, oh, let me mind my own business. And it's again, it's like, you know, you're in your own home. You have a stranger attacking you.

Yeah. Don't hurt me. Yeah, I think I would be afraid that they were like robbing me. Yeah. But that's the part of the Midwest. It's like you're just in suburbia nowhere. So it's probably just like, Paulette coming on in. Paulette. I sleep with a stun gun.

So yeah, I sleep with mace. Yeah, me too. I didn stun gun, so. Yeah, I sleep with Mace. Yeah, me too. I didn't in Ohio though. Yeah, me neither. No, but in LA? Yeah. I got all the stuff. No, I know, just even when we were in Palm Springs,

I had someone still at my house every day checking on it, making sure my Christmas lights were on, making sure it looked like someone was home. There's no joke in these streets in LA. Got that Glock loaded. Well, speaking of the streets in LA. Got that Glock loaded. I know. Well, speaking of the streets in LA, I saw a video of a bunch of people in LA instead of being in Times Square waiting for the ball to drop,

they were on these crowded streets and whatever, but there was an anti-smoking billboard that charts the number of smoking-related deaths throughout the year. It was at like 447,958, whatever. And they're waiting for it to go back to zero to mark a clean slate of the new year. Would you rather see the ball drop in New York

or a billboard recalibrate to ring in the new year? Which then also on other clips that I saw, I saw some people's reactions, the billboard then clicked up to one signifying that there was already a smoking related death. It's like smoking is bad, don't do it, I recommend getting rid of the vape. Yes I am. I mean I just you know for New Year's I feel like I would probably want a little bit more of an uplifting vibe. Right. So I would say like maybe a ball drop, maybe just hang out with friends. I don't know like I would probably want a little bit more of an uplifting vibe So I would say like maybe a ball drop maybe just hang out with friends I don't know if I would want to stand in front of a billboard. That's

We're gonna down people's deaths Okay, you know what I saw they are doing in Idaho Our friend Alyssa her boyfriend grew up in Idaho So she went home with him in front of I think what is the Capitol building of Boise's or State Capitol or whatever? They have a giant like I'm not kidding. They looked like maybe like 10 feet long potato that drops at midnight That's iconic. I would watch the potato drop it looked and they had fireworks and everything But yeah, they had a giant potato drop and I was like that is in the Florida Keys They have a drag queen drop from something

I like when people lean into their things. So when people are like, oh, what are they, is there anything but potatoes in Idaho? And Idaho's like, let's lean into this. Let's get a giant fucking potato and drop it. I love it. So to wrap up the podcast, I'm going to name Paulette the Jack's Hole of the Week for scaring Jason into thinking. Do it as Paulette. Tell yourself you are in the Jack's Hall. Jack's Hall of the Week, y'all, is gonna be Miss Paulette because she scared poor little Jason Capirna into thinking his wife had been in a car wreck. I mean, my poor heart, I swear I did not mean any harm, Jason.

You didn't mean any harm? You literally picked up the phone and was like, this is an emergency. I did not mean any harm, Jason. You didn't mean any harm. You literally picked up the phone and was like, this is an emergency. I did not say that, sir. We were hoping he would just not say that I'm skinny. I just wanted to get to the 105 and see if he would lie. We just wanted Jason to be the jerk that's like, my wife's not 105 pounds.

You must have the wrong number. He's like, 105, try 305. All right, well, Paula, you are the Jacks all the week, and you owe Jason a big apology. I do, I do. As if we weren't here co-conspiring with you. I know, right? I think we all three are guilty.
