Hi, Georgia. Hi, David. What do you think the world needs more of? Well, the world always needs more podcasts. Didn't you used to have a podcast? Not only did I used to have a podcast, Georgia. It's coming back! David Tennant does a podcast with.

Season 3 is coming at ya! Okay, and who are your guests? Who are my guests? What about Russell T. Davis? What about Jamila Jamil? What about Stanley the Tooch Toochie? So it's really just you hanging out with your mates then? Yeah.

Come join me. David Tennant does a podcast with. Bye. Every week on Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso, I'm Sam Witherway, I invite an actor, author or filmmaker to come to the table and speak from the heart in ways you probably haven't heard them on the record before.

Some of my favorites are with Tom Hanks, Margaret Atwood, and Pedro Pascal. In recent weeks, I sat with Joaquin Phoenix, Mikey Madison, and Jesse Eisenberg, and only two of them gave me a panic attack. New episodes come out every Sunday morning, wherever you get your podcast. Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom!

Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Hi guys! Hi! Welcome to Freedom, I'm Paul. I'm Scott. I'm Lauren. And today is very special Scott, do you want to tell us all about it?

Well this is our special no chit chat edition of Freedom. Normally when we start an episode of Freedom, everyone will come in at different times and we'll have chit chat about what's going on with their lives. Today we decided to do an experiment where we sat in silence until the episode started. No chit chat. Does it equal no chemistry or does it equal lots to talk about? We will see. Because we sort of consider the chit chat as a warm up to doing the podcast because

oftentimes we will talk for a while and then we start, we talk like normal human beings. Then when we start doing bits, we realize, okay, we're ready. But sometimes those three minutes of bits are lost to time. That's true. And we need them bad. But they're so good. But they're bits that involve a lot of gossip.

That's true. So the first- Now I don't know what you guys know right now. The first five minutes of this show will be very cold. Like what gossip you have. Oh, I don't have any. Well, I have some. Today's a great day.

You have some gossip? No, I don't know, I don't know. Oh, okay. By the way, this is- You have blind items? We have blind items. This is also no chit chat during the breaks. Blat?

Blat? Blat? You can't be blearious. Blah, blah, blee, blee, blee, blah. Blah, blah, blee, blee, blee, blee. So how are you guys? Well, I'm good. I'm good.

See, this is the kind of stuff people normally miss. This is gold. Yeah. I don't know what I would be telling you right when I come in. Yeah. Personal stuff, personal stuff. Yeah. Yeah. So tell us some of, personal stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So tell us some of this personal stuff. Sunny D. Oh, Sunny D. Personal stuff, personal stuff, Sunny D. Oh, Sunny D. What? Purple stuff. Purple stuff?

The commercial where the little boys are going through the refrigerator. No. Purple stuff. He's like, milk, purple stuff. Eggplant, grapes. purple stuff. Like eggplant? Milk, purple stuff. Eggplant, grapes. Purple stuff. Purple stuff.

I got the purple stuff. That was the original title for the substance. Purple stuff? I still haven't seen that. Oh, you gotta see it. Let me spoil it all. Okay, so. You watching White Lotus?

Let me spoil it all. Are you watching White Lotus? I'm watching White Lotus? Let me spoil it all. Are you watching White Lotus? I'm watching White Lotus. Now you're business what I watch in the privacy of my own house. Okay. Now see, usually you would talk about this. I would, but I don't want anyone to know

what I'm watching. Well, see, reality recap. Yeah, Traders is getting really juicy near the end. And did you see Carolyn's video making fun of Daniel? No. I did not. But let me say this about that. Okay. I am enjoying this season. I am glad that, and this is a spoiler.

Well, it'll be weeks. If you're not caught up, but I mean, come on. Now it's gonna be weeks. It'll be a couple, yeah. Yeah. Probably be over by now. If you're discovering traders years from now and you're listening to this episode at the same time,

I'm so sorry. Yeah. But I was so glad that Carolyn was voted off because she made me so uncomfortable. Her energy and twitchiness, looking around all the time. The fact that she couldn't kind of be still in her own body made me very uncomfortable. I wonder if being a traitor made her really uncomfortable. No, that's what she was like in Survivor.

Okay, I've never seen that. But I really uncomfortable. No, that's what she was like in survival. Oh, OK. I've never seen that. But I like her. Yeah, she's great. But someone's got to win. Danielle's wild overacting is insane. I know. The fact that people are not yet like, well, she's a lunatic. I know.

I think they just think she's a lunatic. You know what? That's good cover. It is hard to know when you're on a cast full of reality stars. You aren't going to immediately assume someone's acting crazier than they are. You're just like, they're all nuts. That's a good point. Especially if you've never seen Survivor. Is that what she was on?

No, she was on Big Brother. Big Brother. Danielle was. Yeah. I've never seen that or Survivor. Is Big Brother? We've probably talked about this, but they have competition. They have like... What do you think it is? Just first of all, what do you think Big Brother is I always thought, and I actually feel like I saw it.

Cause I never watched it either. I've seen it more in London. The times I've been there over my over the course of my life. It's been on for so many years. So my understanding. Did you ever watch the Living Soap? No. That was their real world.

Oh, Living Soap. What a terrible name. Oh, I just thought it was great. The Living Soap. Would you watch? Oh, Living Soap. That's a good name. What a terrible name. Oh, I just thought it was great. The Living Soap. Would you watch something called the Living Soap? The Living Soap. Living Soap. Soap Opera.

I'm gonna go watch the Living Soap tonight. Soap Opera. Yeah, people do. Because they call Soap Opera Soap. Could you imagine watching a show called Hill Street Blues? I mean, that's dumb, too. Hill Street Blues? All titles are dumb.

Why do you have Street Blues? You're dumb. Why do you have Street Blues? Why are are dumb. Why do you have street blues? You're dumb. Why do you have street blues? Why are you on a hill? What's going on? Did that show take place on some place called Hill Street? Yeah. Like that was like the precinct.

No, it was a guy named Hill who had street blues. It was a thing he dealt with. Okay, we're warmed up. Good, I got those street blues. So what I believe Big Brother to be from what I'd seen in London was that it was more just a camera that was on and like people were, cause it was on, they had it on TV all the time.

You think it's one camera? I think it's many cameras, but I think that they had a kind of constant stream. They had to take turns walking in front of it. They had a constant stream playing of like, almost just like video footage of what was happening. And whereas in America, it's edited down to one time a week where it would be like an episode where the best, you know, the best of the best happens.

And then maybe I do believe maybe there's some sort of challenge. Now Paul, what do you think it is? I believe it's people that are people good. I mean, he's right so far. I think it's people. People, no animals. People who need people. I actually don't think there's right. So far. I think it's people. People, no animals. People who need people.

I actually don't think there's ever been an animal. If anyone can send us a picture of even one animal on an episode of Big Brother. It would be funny if they had like a dog in there and see if the dog could last. They should have a dog for everyone to hang out with. The dog's doing confessional. Ruff, ruff.

Yeah. You have to hold a tree to get it to look at the camera. So it's people that are confined to this house. They're eliminated one by one. They take a vote, I guess, or the audience votes perhaps. And maybe they have to do certain activities. But I believe the audience votes on who gets- And how many times is it on per week?

Lauren says one. Dang. I guess I thought one too. You thought one too. Now I'm gonna say three. Four. No, you already took your shot. I think it's on every day.

You only have one shot. We're bidding here. I'm not throwing away my shot. Big Brother is on one say week. Wee. Big Brother is on three times a week. That's a lot! Is it still on?

It is still on. Wow. It's the 25th anniversary of- Is that a CBS joint? It is, it's also a Spike Lee joint. They have joint custody. Is that their silver anniversary? Does Spike Lee have joint custody of his films?

Silver anniversary. This is a good tweet, if tweets still existed. Oh, that would have been such a great tweet. Do you call it an X when you post on X? I don't do that. I X'd earlier. It definitely sounds perverted. I re-X'd.

You're perverted. If you're on it. I re-X'd your post on X. And then I X'd my own. So it's on three times a week, but then it's also on. Laura looked at me like, I don't know. You can't be surprised. It's also on continuously.

Also. 24 hours a day. Online. Online or on Paramount+. Now that I think is really dicey for those people. In what manner, dear? Well, you're not being edited at all, so you gotta be here for what you're saying. That's true. You can't, dear? Well, you're not being edited at all, so you gotta be careful what you're saying. Yeah. That's true.

You can't just have a loose casual conversation that you don't want on TV. No, it was, I was watching the live feeds for probably one season, that was season two. Did you like it? It was insane because they were all lunatics and all saying things they should not say on. We're not gonna get out of here,

I'm gonna kill the president. Someone isolate that. That was a quote. I did a different voice and everything. So it is just them hanging out most of the time, but then they're forced to do these competitions in order to win safety, et cetera. And then interestingly enough,

the first season, the audience voted people out and they voted out the strongest characters leaving the most boring people at the end. Wow. And which, which is different than in other countries, because in other countries, people, uh, really want the interesting people to stay. So they vote out boring people. But here in America, we have like this sense of like justice or fairness. So if someone was irritated, they't I mean we believe we do

They were like voting out all the people they felt they that didn't deserve the money because they were irritating and then it just left the Three most boring people in the world. So that world in the world. That's fascinating. So then they they read yet They're boring. But there's But that's where the push and pull. So then they redid it to where the contestants vote people out from season two. Well, that's always better anyway, because it really creates anger and tension amongst the cast.

Yeah. You come for me, I'll come for you. We should do our own big brother for fans of freedom, where we're- We vote at the fans? Do we live in a room? We live in one room for what? We do this for one week.

Okay. The Bear Naked Lady special. We just sit around, we're confined to a house for one week with multiple cameras. We can afford maybe three. I don't think anything would happen. One in each of our bathrooms. Do you think, well, we would do you think something would happen?

Do you think we'd eventually like say something crazy or do something crazy? The only the only literature that's allowed is the Bible. Great. I don't need to read. Why don't you read the Bible? I just don't need to read. Do you know how many books I have sitting around that I haven't read? And of course we have our phones. No.

No? That's the part that's fascinating about it. And I have my family with me. Here's why I think we could do it and not lose our minds. First of all, it's just a week, right? Yeah, like I think Celebrity Big Brother is maybe three weeks, maybe four weeks. The one or two times they've done it. They gotta push you to the edge.

Secondly, we all know each other already. Thirdly, we're performers. So I think we have a sense of how to turn it on and shut it off. And I think we're used to being at look, we're on mic all the fucking time. So I think we're used to being at, look, we're on mic all the fucking time. So I think we're used to. Editing ourselves. Yes, yes, yes.

Oh my God, the things I want to say. Oh my God, if I could just let loose. About you two. Oh my God, you guys be crying. You be crying. But how would the voting work if it was just three of us? Well, it had to be a secret ballot. Yeah.

Because I feel like you two would team up against me. Why don't we try to vote each other off right now? No, I don't like it. Let's just try to vote off and see what happens. Okay, in order to win the game? It's not real. There's an aspect of it that's real. We just have to see.

Oh, okay, then no. Then I don't want to do it. If you even believe there's an aspect of it that's real, then I don't wanna do it. Here's how the voting works on Big Brother and we can try it here. I don't want Scott's feelings to be hurt. Yeah, obviously we're both gonna kick him off.

We go down to two people and then whoever's voted out votes for the winner. Huh? Down to two people. Okay, sure. So, let's all do our secret ballot vote. It's almost like listening would equal me understanding. It's so close to that.

It's more like I have to listen, then I repeat, then I hear what I said. So basically, now I believe it. You're trying to vote for someone who you hope will vote for you to win. You're trying to vote out someone who you hope will still vote for you to win. That's the tricky part about this. That's tough. All right. The tricky part about this. That's tough. All right. Here's the tricky part.

A big Fig Newton. I don't know what that is. Is that a purple thing? That was a- Is that a purple thing? You don't know what a Fig Newton is? I mean, I know what it is, but what is that song? When I was little, there were commercials

for Fig Newtons that involved a person dressed up as a big Fig. I have to say, like a fig mutant as a kid was like one of the most disappointing options that could appear. I had such a love hate with them because they were good, but it wasn't as good as super processed cookies or whatever. Right, Keebler Elves.

But I still, every once in a while I'll have a fig mutant. I'm like, God damn, this is good. Whoa, I just got a big hankering for some of those Keebler Elf cookies. EL fudge. Fudge stretch? EL fudge. I just got a big hankering for some of those Keebler elf cookies. You know, fudge. You know, fudge. I just got a bunch of Girl Scout cookies. You know, I've got some I've got some thoughts and issues with the Girl Scout

cookies. It feels like not enough come in the box. That's a problem. I beg your pardon. How much are the boxes now? $8? No, I know the Girl Scouts need it. How much could they be? $50? I think I think there's somewhere around four to $8, but I think it's more like eight. Four would be insane.

I think it's eight. My, okay. I have a Girl Scout cookie story. You know, Kimmy Gatewood? You know, Kimmy Gatewood. Yes, I bought cookies from her daughter. Yes! Her wonderful daughter, Lottie.

And so we, Jane and I were driving home and we saw them, we saw like this big crowd of people and they had a table set up. And you were like, a mob, let's go join them. Yeah, so we lit our torches. We said, who are we worried about replacing us? So we see this, they have a table set up and it's Kimmy and her husband, Matt,

and a couple other parents and their kids, they're selling Girl Scout cookies. We're like, let's pull over, we buy, I'm like, I'm gonna buy one of each box to help out Lottie. And to not help myself. So I did that and I said, how much is it? And then Kimmy told me how much it was a box. And then I was like, you know,

I'm not good with quick math. OK, you're good with slow math. Here, let's try it. Let's try something. Yeah, two. OK, got it. Locked in. Plus. OK, continue. Zero. All right. Minus. Wait, this is too fast. Zero. That was the law. Okay, so that was a lot.

Too fast. That was a good test. No, it's two. It kind of showed how he's being honest. Yeah. So I said to Lottie, is it this much money or like $60 or whatever? And she went, uh, sure it is. That's exactly what she did.

Really? And then Kimmy said, no, it's not. How much was it less? It was like you were overdoing it by 20 or something like that. You were cheap skating her by like 20 bucks. No, I wasn't. She was trying to take advantage of an elderly man. Yes, I thought it was more.

I thought if you're buying every box, we're looking at $80 here. You know, I'm like, there's a lot of flavors. I'm saying however much it was, I don't remember the exact amount. Okay. Jesus. Would you guys stop fighting and vote on who you wanna kick off?

Oh yeah, let's do it right now. All right, here we go. I've locked in my vote. All right, we go to Paul. Who are you voting for? No, don't we have to write it down? Yeah, write it down. I can't, I'm gonna.

But the idea is, isn't it, I thought we were doing secret ballot. Yeah, we did. We're just gonna say who we have to, That's what I'm saying. Yeah, then we have to say. No? Yeah, write it down. I can't, I'm gonna- But the idea is, isn't it, I thought we were doing secret ballot. Yeah, we did. We're just gonna say who we have to say. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, then we have to say. No, no, it's not, this is- Okay, or you want me to say, you want me to-

Why do we have to write it down, though? How are we gonna know who voted for anyone if someone doesn't say? Hold on a second. Dear, let me explain this. This is what I thought was gonna happen. Okay. I thought it was gonna go into a hat or something like that.

That's what I think we kind of need to happen. Like Survivor, when Jeff Probst, Probst! Okay. He reads out the little slips. Well, who's gonna read it? There's only three of us in the room. Well, one of us. I don't have a hat here.

Do you wanna take off your hat? How dare you? Why don't you just get some papers and we put them here and, or we each cover our section of this white, no, then we'll know who it is. There's no way to do this and we can't do it. We can't do it without slips of paper. You should have paper on this table.

I should always have paper? Yeah, and you know what you should not have is snack mix that expired in 2023. Oh, I was going to reveal this. I'm sorry. But that was a perfect opening. I was really waiting for this. That was a perfect opening.

So we might as well switch topics. Yeah, we got to switch topics. So this is snack section. What? Somebody who should not be named tasted the snack mix recently and told me not to eat it because they said it tasted very scary to them. Texted both of us. And said, just don't eat it. Just not to eat it because they said it was, tasted very scary to them. Texted both of us. And said, just don't eat it.

Just don't eat it. By the way, yeah. And I said, well, what happened? Did you get sick? They said it tasted rancid. I said, okay, I want to check this out myself because I feel that I can help you get rid of this stuff. You know, I can just be a little Frank about it.

Now like a little wiener. A little Frank? Hi, I'm a little Frank. When I came in, you were really clocking my movements. We were silent as I came in here. We were silent. I was not speaking at all. It was a combination of styling and silence.

We didn't speak. I came in, you- You were making noises. Well, I didn't speak though. You never said anything about noises. Well, I laughed at the text. I walked into the kitchen area here and I went to look at the date because I thought,

well, that I can get some intel on this snack mix. It did expire in October, 2023. The date at this time of recording is February, 2025. So that's pretty significant in terms of eating something. Why would someone eat something that's in my kitchen? Because people are, those are snacks that are offered to us. I don't offer them. That's true. That being said, Paul ate the pretzels the other day and did call them stale.

Now I want to go see what date those expire. I've eaten the pretzels and they're stale. I used to, I used to have snacks coming in here all the time. Yeah, what happened? It's too expensive. Dang, but is it somehow too expensive to throw away the expired ones? Yes. Oh, right there they go.

There they go. Can I guess who this person is who's ratting me out? Absolutely. Lisa Gilroy. No. No? No. Who knows both of you?

Who knows both of you? Who knows both of you on a texting basis? Everyone. Who was in here recently? Can I just say, okay, the pretzels were in 2023, but it was rubbed off. I couldn't see the month. It was rubbed off.

So 2023 on those guys. You ate those the other day. These someone gave us in England. Now we got these M&Ms that are caramel cold brew. They did expire. Wait, we got those in England? January 2025. Someone gave them to us for us to taste them on the show. They just expired. So got those in England. January. Someone gave it to us for us

to taste them on the show. They just expired. So that's the most recent snack. If anyone wants to eat this, it's now or never. No. Okay. Now these Swedish fish, do you want to take a guess? Yeah. 2019. These are only like a year old. Take a guess. 2024. November 2023. Ouch. That's going to hurt your teeth. It's a good year for Wow. That's gonna hurt your teeth. It's a good year for snacks. And then these are from Christmas, so I am gonna throw them out. Because we could just assume that's over.

I am gonna throw out these M&Ms, I don't want anyone to get sick. I think things that are made with a lot of preservatives. They're also a disgusting flavor. Yeah, but you know, if it's made with a lot of preservatives, your thought is it should last a long time. But once it hits an expiration, that means they were given a pretty far window out.

Exactly. I'm gonna counterpoint. So you have nothing in the first kitchen. I don't have nothing in the kitchen. I don't think candy ever expires. That's not good. That's interesting. So those are, those M&Ms were probably made in 2016. Probably.

Why did someone give them to me just a few months ago then? Do you had time? You had time. Do you want me, by the way, Lauren, you're so off mic right now. Lauren, you're so off mic right now. Don't throw away the coffee. Old! This is literally what I do when I go home

for my parents' house. Do you know how many people- Oh, same, we do that at my mother-in-law's house. It's honestly shocking, because I do it all the time, and yet somehow something from 2019 will still be in there. And I'm like, wait, wait, wait, wait, how did that get in there?

How old was the coffee? 2024, no, it was March 2024. Okay, well let me explain the coffee. Get new coffee. Let me explain the coffee. You better explain this coffee. I got it then probably at the end of 2023 because one person who was a guest here,

it's always musicians. They asked for a coffee when it's like 2 p.m. Yeah. So I had to run upstairs, do all this gobbly gook of going upstairs into my own kitchen and doing all this stuff. So I was like, you know what? I'm gonna buy a thing of coffee.

Three people have asked for coffee in the ensuing year and a half. But they don't wanna do an old one. See here's- I'm not gonna go buy new coffee every year and a half. This is my argument for my family. When my parents get defensive about an item that I wanna throw out,

I say, you've had it for six years and you didn't want it at all. I don't want any of this stuff. But let me just say, you didn't want it during that time, so if you want it again, you can buy it again. That's okay, I don't want you to eat an old thing. I don't want any of it. This is for your benefit.

That's. And you complain every time you're here. Because I want a fresh start and I'm very grateful for that. Bring your own shit. I'll bring you something to put out there. I'm gonna bring a bag of little bags of chips. Okay.

Okay. I would love that. I'll donate that. I bet you would. I'll donate that. I bet you fucking would. I will donate that. Let me continue to guess who this is.

Drew Tarver was just here. No. Are we gonna tell him if he does guess it? No. Okay. Why? No, if he does guess it, we'll tell him. he does guess it? No. Okay, why? No, if he does guess it, we'll tell him. Okay. But he's not gonna guess it.

He said, Gilderoy complained about the water the other day. Well, what's going on with that? It's filtered and it's good. I don't think so. Was that the source of her complaint? If someone has to comment on it? Let me guess who else, let's see, who else has been here recently?

Oh my God, he's going through his contacts. No, you don't know both of them. Who? You don't know Um, no, you don't know both of them. Who? You don't know both of them. I don't know both of them? What does that mean? George and Alana Hamilton. Ah, God, who could this be?

So the Fig Newton commercial. Christian? No. Yeah, he's not rude enough. He's Canadian. It's featured a guy. He would look out for my best interests though. A guy wearing a giant Fig costume,

and then he would sing this song about figs. Why don't you just tell me who it is. Why don't you just tell me who it is. What's that from? Seinfeld. Yeah. Why don't you just say the name of the movie you'd like to see.

Honestly, so funny. I know. That was so funny. I don't know. He pretends to be. He's the president of a movie phone. Like he's on his call, he'd be like, hello and welcome to movie with Kramer. Like somehow be. He's the president movie phone. Like he said, when you call, he'd be like, hello,

and welcome to movie. It was Kramer. Like somehow they think his number is a movie phone. Yeah, so he just goes with it. So he just starts doing it. And he's like, yeah. He's got the paper. That's right.

Why don't you just tell me the name of the movie? Is there typing in like the letters on the keypad? And he's like trying to guess which one it is. Is this like, what season is this from? Season one. Season one. It was Seinfeld Chronicles? It was the pilot.

Can you imagine having the pilot to your show? I forgot that that's what it was called. Didn't the parents live in bed like Willy Wonka? Oh no. I have this memory of the parents sitting in a bed in his apartment. Guys, we have to take a break. Guys, we have to take a break. Silence. We have to take a break. Silence. Silence.

Seize him. What's up, Paul? My man, my main man here. Slip me five. Here you go. Hell yeah. Down low. OK. Now mid-range. There we go. Way up top. Okay.

Okay, there it is. Tell me if you feel the same way. I feel like everyone I know is trying to drink less these days, and I'm including myself. Overall, it's been the right choice for me. But sometimes I miss having something fun to sip on at social gatherings. Yes. Well, Soul, they have a new out of office THC beverage that has helped me fill that gap without all the downsides that come with booze. Hey Paul, guess what? This podcast is sponsored by Soul.

Are you kidding me? Yeah, Soul's out of office beverages are perfectly microdosed with hemp derived THC and CBD to give any situation that vacation vibe. That makes sense because me, personally, I was sipping summertime in a can last night with Sol's new out of office THC beverage, raspberry lemonade. That's a delicious one. Oh, it was amazing. Yeah you know out of office beverages give you that warm fuzzy euphoric microdosed feeling without sending you to the moon Alice. You can crack one open after a hard day

at work, wind down with your favorite TV show, or share a six-pack with friends at your next hangout whatever you like. Who wants to go to the moon? People have already been there there's nothing to do if you don't bring golf clubs. The out-of-office beverages not only come in two mouth-watering flavors, raspberry lemonade and cucumber melon lime. Oh, am I at the spa? They also offer two different doses, 2.5 milligrams THC and 5 milligrams THC. Feel the freedom to choose with 6, 12 or 24 packs so you can drink your THC in any way you like. I had one the other day and it was great. I drank one and woke up three weeks later.

They're calling me a modern day Rip Van Winkle. Was that the five milligram? That may have just been a glass of water I had. I'm not sure. But no, I actually did have one the other day and it was great. They're really lovely. Yeah.

No, that's no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Because it never got eaten. Why did she? And by the way, the Swedish fish of it all, why is that in the package of candy? No one likes it. Why is that?

Why is the Swedish fish in the package of candy? You know, because it's one of these like multi big boxes of like, oh, there's 10 of this type, 10 of this type, 10 of this type. I like a Swedish fish on occasion. Well, then why didn't you eat them all? You've been here forever. Because the occasion has not arisen. I'm actually really excited for this reset.

It feels really good. I've never thought that the stuff would be that old, but it's pretty exciting. Let me tell you something. Okay, I didn't buy this stuff. It's a giant thing of pretzels, right? Yeah, it's like a, what do you call it? A giant tub of pretzels, right?

With a cap on it. Yeah. I didn't buy it. Obviously when it was bought, it was fresh. Of course. Obviously no one cared enough to eat it. It's not something I would eat. Right.

No one cared enough to eat it. Not a good, not a good pick. Not a good pick. Yeah. So it gives us somewhere to start. So why did someone, why did someone start eating it? The other box was Tavern Bar Tavern Snack Max. That's what it was called or whatever. So it gives us somewhere to start. So why did someone, why did someone start eating it? The other box was tavern, bar tavern snack mix.

That's what it was called or whatever. But no one had enough to ever eat it until this lunatic comes over. That person must have been starving, came over and ate pieces of barf that were hard. Eight hardened barf pieces. But see this person. And then they looked out for me.

I would say this person should come a year ago and have more of it. So I go, oh, I need to buy more of that. A year ago, it would still be expired. Okay, two years ago. It's so true. It's so true, Bestie. Isn't that wild?

Oh man, I do love to, when I'm organizing my cabinets, I love to find things that are expired. Cause then they just go, oh, that's just done. I don't have to question whether I still want this. It's so, it's secretly weirdly fun. No, it's like an OCD thing. Oh, I love to clear out my parents. But to announce the dates.

And I go, this one, this is lasagna noodles from when I was in high school. These noodles were purchased the year I graduated high school. Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. This is someone who was over here for Alamoni Tony, wasn't it? No.

No? No. Oh, wow, I love how you can't guess. It's really fun. It does make me feel very powerful. Who could it have been? No one. Who could it have been now?

Who could it have been now? Who could it have been now? You'll never know. You'll never know. Who do I bar from entering this place ever again? Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Ha! You'd have a hard time. Because they stirred up trouble about a thing you don't care about? Yes. Ha! Ha! I'm gonna say, before the end of the episode,

you have five more guesses. Five more. Make it good. Make it good. All right. I'm really going to check to see who's been here. You're really going to check. Recently.

Do you want to continue your Fig Newton story? I really do. Okay, great. So he's singing a song about Fig Newton's. And then when he gets to the climax of the song, he says, there's like a, he goes, about Fig Newtons. And then when he gets to the climax of the song, he says, there's like a, he goes, big Fig Newton, and then it's like getting

into the big finish and he goes, here's the tricky part. And he does some sort of move that's supposed to be the tricky part. And was it? Not really, I guess if you were in that costume, it would be trickier. Yeah. This is Erin Whitehead.

No. She would never. Someone in college town costume, it would be trickier. Yeah. This is Erin Whitehead. No. She would never. Someone in College Town though. Erin would never eat that. No one who was here for College Town. Someone who was here for College Town. That's fair to say. So it's either Brett. Who?

Brett Morris. Brett Morris, right? Or? It was Brett Morris. Or who? Or it wouldn't be Seth. No, it's not Seth. Why? Because Seth wouldn't text either of you.

That's probably true. And it was Sean and Ellie were over here, but I don't know who the second guests were. So I'm gonna say Brett. Scott? That is correct. That is correct. Brett. Brett.

You're fired. Brett did it. Brett. Brett did it. Brett. Brett. Brett did it. It's Brett Summer.

Brett's using my studio. Bring your own fucking snacks. He must have gotten a little hungry. So what if you're cast out of your own home because of a natural disaster caused by mankind's greed. And you come into this nice room and see a couple of fresh looking jars of snacks that have barely been touched. Let me counter, let me counter this.

Yeah. The jars should decay at the same rate of the snacks. So that when you look at the jar, it's not a nice, fresh looking jar with old snacks in it. The jar should look crusty and musty. I wish I could disagree, but that is sound. That makes sense to me. I'm going to bring a little snack replenishment for you

the next time we come. How little? Because if it's little, then they'll be gone by the next time you're here. That's a test. Because you had those for years and they didn't. That's the stuff time we come. How little? Because if it's little, then they'll be gone by the next time you're here. That's a test! Because you had those for years and they didn't. That's the stuff no one likes. So I'm saying, why do you, wait,

why is there even an offer of stuff that nobody likes? Yeah, why is it the biggest item as well? Because this is culling the wheat from the chaff. You're figuring out what people don't like. No one likes that snack mix, other than bread, I guess. He doesn't like it. He was desperate! He doesn't like it. I almost ate that snack mix last week. Well, you didn't. it desperate he doesn't like I almost ate that snack mix last week well you didn't I could have

easily have brought myself to do that because you were like I'm so hungry I'm not even gonna eat this because it's terrible who likes snack mix snackers you don't you don't really want generic snack mix kind of across the board I want a brand name associated. A Chex. Trex, ideally Trex or Garjetto. Garjetto snack bag. You're sounding like the old lady that I lived with. Your mom. Yes.

Cool up. The one who hid the sodas from you? Yes, or maybe I'm sounding like her. Violent. No, you are. Violent. I'm sounding like her. You're sounding like her.

Where it was like, hey, take whatever you want. And then people like eat it all up too quickly to where I can't keep up with it. And then she's like, eat it all up too quickly to where I can't keep up with it. And then she's like, nobody ate the bar tavern, Max. They can't keep up with it. I'm here once a week and I watched the stuff dwindle just the same as you did. So you could have kept up with it.

Yeah, but I'm never eating it. So I don't care. You need to add it. That's really what it's about. So don't pretend it's like, it's too hard to keep up with. What I'm saying is, I don't care enough to ever check on, like it's not part of my duties around the house to be checking on,

oh, what are the snack levels for everyone these days? Oh, but see how interesting that is? It's a woman's task. It's a woman's task. It's a woman's task. You're so sexist. I obviously- Only women bleed.

I obviously, if this was my space, I'd be all up on that. I'd be like, oh, we gotta get the new snacks. Oh, the snacks are low, snacks are low. What are you, who are you snapping at? Yourself? Cool off, order some more. This is what it comes down to.

There should be a weekly, there should be a truck that backs itself up. Yeah, just send it down the stairs. Doot, doot. And they just like, they can even throw it down the stairs where it lands at the doorstep here. That's fine. Here's what you should have. Mm-hmm is a little Sort of gutter a snack gutter

Yeah, or a shoot like a goldberg situation or peewee sort of like where it kind of was rude Goldberg some fool Just a rude What made you think that she didn't know what she was talking about? I'm just no I'm just wondering I who is he to me? Yeah, who my grandfather One of the explain Rube Goldberg yeah, like what's the machine a Rube Goldberg machine no, it's a man is Explain who Rube Goldberg is this gotcha? Because she used a phrase that I know

she doesn't know what it means. I do know what it means. She clearly knows what it means. It's one of those machines where it goes like, kick, kick, like a domino effect with all these different things that happen. Like a mousetrap. Yeah.

She knows what it means. But so I don't know what it means because I don't know his history. Because you said it in such a manner that was like, Rube is like very unsure that you're even getting it right. That's not, it's not unsure. I disagree. You're trying now.

You're mad because your 2023 shit got called up and you're trying to say, I don't know what I'm talking about. You're trying to deflect and make it seem like first you're coming after her and then I know you're coming after me. So you got to protect me. Thank you. And that's the thing. Let's vote. Let's vote right now. Okay. Now it's voting season. Okay.

Now it's voting season. Scott, how do you vote? I vote voting season. Scott, how do you vote? I vote for Lauren. Lauren, how do you vote? I vote for Scott. All right. Paul, how do you vote? I vote for Scott.

Yes! All right, I have to vote for you to win. Yes! I'm obviously not voting for Lauren. I celebrated too soon. Why would I vote for you? No, I really hate. I regret.

Wait, wait, wait, stop. Make your case. I really regret voting you out because now it feels really weird without you as part of it. You did provide like a sort of antagonistic balance that we needed. Also, I feel like I need to learn from you who Rube Goldberg was and now that you're gone, I'll never be able to learn this. I obviously was speaking without any knowledge behind what I was saying. I was talking out of my ass when I said that you could have

a machine that was like a Rube Goldberg or a Pee-wee Herman machine. I didn't know what I was talking about. I was a child staying childish things and I really wish you would come back or vote for me to sting. Can I do my confession? Yeah, do it. Confession? Confessional. Are you usher?

Confessional. Oh, it's not really a confessional. It's a speech that you give to the... Anyway, go ahead. He's so fucking annoying. I regret. A confessional is just in a private room. Just me.

Yeah, that's what I want. I want to be in a private room. Just, yeah. That's what I want. I want to be in a private room. I'm not even looking at you. They should have a private room and also a champagne room. Yeah. For a reality show. Who would you like to go to the champagne room?

10% of your winnings. I regret my decision to vote out Scott. He was my best friend on the show, but I felt like, you know, I had to go with the decision that was going to protect me. Yeah. And so in the end, why would it have protected you?

Because I voted for Lauren, you could have voted for Lauren easily. I could have. And it could have been between us. Right. And you would have won because she would have voted for you to win. Yeah. Right. But then you voted for me to win.

So I don't want this doesn't make me want to vote for you. But you already did. No, I didn't. Well, you said you're not voting for you. But you already did. No, I didn't. Well, you said you're not voting for Lawrence. This was me just talking out loud. Wait a second. What?

This is not a fait accompli. I retract my confessional. Wait a second, what? What? What are you looking at your phone for? It's really important. What is a fait accompli to you? Oh, he doesn't know.

He doesn't know, he doesn't know, he doesn't know. He doesn't know. He doesn't know. And who was she? And talk about her history. Hello, I'm fate of complete. And I'm Rube Goldberg. I just had to look up Rube Goldberg, by the way. I'm sure you did have to look it up. He's a cartoonist. They should host a show together.

He's a cartoonist. Yeah. Now why was it named after him? Did he make those in a cartoon? He drew them in a cartoon.. They should host a show together. He's a cartoonist. Yeah. Now why was it named after him? Did he make those in a cartoon? He drew them in a cartoon. He would draw them, yeah. But so. Imagine how sick he must have been.

What a twisted mind. From the twisted mind of Rube Goldberg. I wanna figure out a way to wake up, but it's got to evolve a bird, a bowling ball, a bunch of pops and glove. So he wasn't really making any of those practically. I'd like to think that he would draw them after he made them. Yeah. He would draw them.

He made sure it worked. And then he said, now I can try. How else would he know what they look like? Yeah, exactly. How else would he know that it worked? How else would he know what a Rube Goldberg machine was? Do you think he liked when it was named after him? And also, wouldn't you call it the domino effect? Not the Rube Goldberg machine.

No. The domino effect. That was named after Stephen Domino. And dominoes were named after him or he was named after dominoes? No, they were two separate things and then they named the domino effect after him. Because.

What kind of snacks are you getting me? It's not for you, it's for everybody else. You get no snacks. To make up for these at least two years of devastation. Oh, you know what? Here's what we should do. Yeah. We should get snacks,

we should put them in a CVS lock box that Scott can't get into. That he doesn't know the code to. How could I not get into it and anyone else could? No, because it's gonna have a lock box and on top it'll say text Paul or Lauren for the code. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you can get the code for us, yeah.

Well, what happens if you guys are busy? They don't get to eat. We'll never be too busy for that. Okay, I'd like to see you do this. I'd like to see me do it too, but I don't know how to get a lockbox. Yeah, you're not good with a follow through. That's not true. Throwing shade, I see.

Bitter recriminations. It'll be a lot, but it'll happen. We can figure out the lock box. We'll look into that on the phone. Really, it's just like, if you get a clear box with a padlock and then you give the combination to people. Okay. It's gotta be clear though, to entice people.

Cause they wanna see the snacks. Of course, yes. They wanna see the snacks. When I see those razor blades, I'm like, whoa, what are you gonna do? And on top of those say, none are expired. We will keep on top of that. Yeah.

So you guys coming over here every week, you'll keep on top of the snacks? Every week? Every year. Yeah, every year. You're only doing once a year? We've proven these snacks last a year. Yeah.

That's what makes it even more egregious is that these things are packed with preservatives and you still let them expire. They almost became like a lamp at this point. Brett almost died. They've just been part of the kitchen. Brett could have died. What did he almost die?

What was more unsafe for him? The fire coming so close to his house or eating that snack? I think you know the answer. I think the irony of the snack max killing him after that would have been too much for anyone. Snack max calling him? If the snack max killed him after he escaped the fire, that would have been too much for anyone. Snack max calling him. If the snack max called him after he had escaped the fire, that would have been insane. Yeah. Yeah.

And you know, we're all going to get there. Imagine on the news. He stopped eating it instantly because it was so rancid. Should we smell it? Rancid. Should we smell it? Absolutely not. You toss it in the garbage and I'm not going to go sniff the garbage.

The garbage you're speaking of is an office garbage that basically houses paper typically except for when all the snacks get put into it And someone dumps their coffee into it as well the coffee coffee's expired Their coffee Pouches Those little things I threw out. Oh, yeah, they're k cups That's disgusting. What's discussing about a K cup? A K cup sounds like a diaphragm to me. Yeah, it does sound very OBGYN.

Could you use one as a diaphragm do you think? Probably coffee would probably absorb that pretty well. As a female condom. Yeah, yeah. I think coffee would absorb anything pretty well. Yeah. Yeah. And it would smell great and refresh any pH issues.

So anyone going down there would be like, Oh, it smells like a nice morning breakfast. I'm certainly awake. This smells like a nice morning breakfast. This is appetizing. Oh, I love a nice morning breakfast. I really do. Yeah. You're out of all the things you can eat in the morning breakfast to you. Breakfast to you. And breakfast to you back. Well, wonderful. We have a great new system. I'm really glad that this got sorted. And at the very least. Do you think that the. Do you think I could coax the combination out of someone who asks for it?

That's a problem that you'll face with them. You can battle anybody. The problem they will face with us is, there will be a penalty. Because we'll have to buy a new padlock. So we'll have to pay for the new padlock. Yes. You can change the code on it.

You don't have to buy a new padlock every time. No, we have to buy one. That's what we're gonna do. The fee is $20 for a new code. Because the person who betrays the code has to wear a new padlock every time. No, we have to buy one. That's what we're gonna do. The fee is $20. Because the person who betrays the code has to wear the padlock around their neck. Yeah, yeah. Like Flava Flav wearing a clock.

Or like Jacob Marley forging the chains you wore in life. That's right. Flava Flav is kind of the new Jacob Marley. Wearing the chains he forged in life, yeah. Well, the thing about Flava Flav. He is, he's always way. He always shows you the past, present, future. He's covered with clocks.

They all say the past time, the present time and the future time. Yeah, exactly. Kind of works out. Which every clock does, I guess. Well, yeah, right now it's always a time that it was before and will be again. It's so true. Isn't that interesting? What if time just kept going like we didn't come back to like after 12 hours or 24 in

military time? You're saying what if it keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping into the future? But you know what I mean? Like it just from the time people started collecting time, it just like kept going up, up, up, up. We'd be in the billions at this point. Like it's a billion o'clock. I'll meet you at 1 billion 317.

You're saying if we have to keep adding hours. Yeah. You know what I mean? It's just like at 1259, it then went to 13. And then it went to 14, then 15, then 16, then 17, then 18. And then it just kept going and going and going and going. And it was good because you never would fuck up like what day was he talking about or whatever?

Cause it would be like, oh no, seven billion, 859 million. This is so ridiculous. I feel like you've been saving it. No. Yeah. I just thought of it. You've never thought of this. Okay, this is the wildest thing I've ever thought of.

This isn't the wildest thing. Someone's going to pull up an old clip of you saying this. No. Because it just feels so you. It honestly does feel so you. Guys, I feel like you guys are against me here. No, we love you. I just voted you off.

I still haven't voted for who I'm gonna vote to win the show. Shit, that's right. Who do you think it should be? I think I'll save it till the end. Damn it. That makes sense. That's a good idea.

I want you guys to prove why I just like testing. Why should I vote for you? At this point you guys have just made me feel really low. Pfft. Do you have the blues? I have the blues. The Hill Street blues? The blues are calling.

Toss salad. Toss salad? Isn't that interesting that that song, the person wrote it, tossed salad and scrambled eggs about a brain. Like, yeah. What? Isn't that crazy?

Yeah, it's about his patients. They're fucking nuts. Tossed salad and scrambled eggs, that's their brains. That's their brains. What? Yes. What? Because he is a radio scientist.

Oh baby, I hear the blues are are calling tossed salad and scrambled eggs. Yeah, he's singing about it. Maybe I seem a bit confused, but baby, I got you pegged. But I just don't know what to do with those salads and scrambled eggs. OK, I got you pegged like you're bipolar. That could mean only one thing. You have bipolar disorder. Imagine if you, oh.

What if you went to a psychiatrist and they said, I know exactly what's wrong with you. You're crazy. Baby, I got you pegged. But I don't know what to do with your crazy brain. If they said I got you pegged, I would be like, oh no, I know what that means. Because of the song, it means bipolar.

Oh, I thought maybe it would mean you were getting pegged. Well, if they were saying, if they were pegging me and they were saying I got you pegged, I would already know. I'd be like, yeah, clearly. All right, we have to take a break. By the way, someone has to pick our three-chart. We have to take a break and by the way. By the way, someone has to pick our three-chart and not mention

what it is to us because this is the no chit chat version. All right, so Paul, you're going to do? Because we can't talk until we come back. Yes, the person who hates it the most, absolutely. Okay, here we go. We're going to a break. When we come back, Paul will pick the three-turn. We don't know what it is. This show is sponsored by BetterHelp,

and Laura and I have a question for you. Yeah. Will you think about your favorite leaders, mentors and idols? Yes. Thank you. You know, they don't all have the answers, do they? But they know when to ask questions or seek support from their community, right? Well, yeah, we live in a society that glorifies hyper-independence. It's easy to forget that we're all better when we have a support system behind us. I gotta tell you, therapy can be a source of support for any area of your life. It's time to shift the focus from doing it all to knowing that we're better when we ask for help.

Yeah, starting therapy was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I had some big issues I needed to talk about with somebody who wasn't one of my friends over and over and over again. It was nice to get an unbiased opinion. Hey, what are you guys doing? Oh, we're just talking about therapy. Well, wait, are you really? Yeah. Because better help makes finding a therapist easy. It's fully online and gives you access to a diverse network of more than 30,000 credential therapists with a wide range of specialties.

It's not chit chat but... And it's something that has already been said in the room. If it didn't break the rules, it certainly bent them. It's been said. We yes, we talked about it. So it's not like new. I wasn't trying to communicate anything secretly. OK.

Like it's not like I sang the Hymn Street Blues. You can tell we're upset. Obviously, I'm upset. Oh, are you guys triggered? Oh shit. Triggered snowflake? Mine's special, I sing the Frasier theme song. For a half hour. Alright, Paul, what is this?

First of all, what is it? What is it, Treacher? We haven't covered this on the show. It's a Pastero. We have a Pastero. This is submitted by Katie Mail or Malle? Is it M-A-L-E? It is. Okay, I like this. This is submitted by Katie Mail or Malaise. Is it M-A-L-E? It is.

Okay, I like this. But there's no accent, I'll goo, or accent, grov. This is called What Are They Known For? What are they known for? One person names a celebrity and pulls up their IMDB page. Whoa. Wow. The other two have to name the four projects slash credits

that IMDB, IMDB lists. IMDB page. Whoa. Wow. The other two have to name the four projects slash credits that IMDB lists. IMDB lists. IMDB lists in their known for section. Whoa. That's hard. Boy. That's hard. That's hor.

That's hor. Well, we'll see. That's hor. Okay. Okay. All right. So I have my IMDB app open right now. That's so cool. You have it on an app.

Yeah. Why are you looking up people on IMDB so much that you downloaded the app? I'm actually not logged into my pro. You have pro? Yeah. You guys are fucking cool. Why are you looking up IMDB all the time?

You sound like a Rube. Goldberg. Machine. Yeah. For those of you who don't know. Rube Goldberg was a cartoonist IMDB Pro What are the features you get because I know like you can contact someone's agent. That's well here. There's a lot You can see your star meter. You upload pictures if you delete IMDB Pro they go away Anything you've uploaded so you have to keep a continuous subscription. Yes to keep these pictures on the site

Yes, this is bullshit. You can actually select what you're known for. You can select what comes up as the top four things on your page. That's strange that someone would do that. Would why? Would why? Well, because sometimes it selects really random things.

Yeah, because you're in something very- Just because I did one thing on that, no, that's not really what I'm known for. I can imagine it's like if sometimes it selects really random things. Yeah, because you're in something very- So you wanna be like, well, just because I did one thing on that, no, that's not really what I'm known for. I can imagine it's like, if you were in something really popular, but you only had one line, it'll be like, you're known for this, because it's the most popular thing. Do you have little sparkles?

I do have little sparkles on. Why are you putting sparkles on? I don't know, I just did. It's gorgeous. Thanks. Yes, it is gorgeous. Anyway, so some of these actors may have adjusted what they're known for, but not all.

Probably most not. And- Probably most not. And you also can, you can see who people are represented by, which is sometimes important or helpful when you're working on something. We had one account when we were booking a lot of TV shows where, because we would constantly have to be

reaching out to people. And then I'm trying to think of anything else you get out of it. You can add, um, details. You can correct things you owe. When you get in, if you work a job, you can add the credit. Like, so it's especially helpful if you're like newer and it's not, you're not certain it's going to be added. And so you can do that just on IM Not certain it's going to be added and so- I think you can do that just on IMDB because one thing I noticed was shows I would work on,

people would say they were in it a lot of times when they weren't. They probably had accounts. Yeah. I bet they probably. No, I don't think, I think you can petition IMDB and say like, I was in this. Maybe.

And then until someone corrects it, it just lays up there. Possibly. Possibly. Pfft. Okay, so let's start. So I think for this to work, you have to pick somebody that like- Is relatively well known.

Is really obvious. Yes. What they've been in. All right, should I pick first? Yeah, yeah. Nicole Kidman. Okay. Oh, okay.

Look her up. I'm gonna- Wait, you're looking her up? I thought I was supposed to look her up. And we guess. And you guess. Isn't that true? Yes, I know it is now.

It is now. Sure. What Nicole Kidman. What did you want it to be? Or what did the instructions say? No, I thought the instruction. I think the instructions said the same person who I don't know. It doesn't matter. All right. This is fine.

I just didn't know who was going first, I guess. I'm gonna guess. I'm gonna make a guess. Eyes wide shut. Hold on, hold on, hold on. I need to go to her page. This is a hard thing for two people to guess on because. No, it's helpful. Because I can't think of a lot of things.

So we're a team essentially. Yeah. All right. Eyes wide shut. Eyes wide shut is a good one. Okay, what are your guesses? I just told you. All right. Eyes wide shut. Eyes wide shut is a good one. Okay, what are your guesses? I just told you one of them.

Eyes wide shut. Did you say something before then, honey? No. Okay, but then maybe some of the newer stuff, like she's big little lies. I was just thinking big little lies. I think baby girl's probably too soon. Yeah.

And what was the one with Zac Efron? Oh, what the fuck was that? What what was the one Zac Efron? Oh, the fuck was the one Zac Efron? Who's the one Zac Efron? Who was that? I watched it. I don't even know. Don't remember. But it might be it was very popular. True that. Do you think there's a weird one like Days of Thunder on there? No, but like something. Oh, like The Lion or something, or like Lioness. Lioness? Lion, that movie.

Wasn't about where she adopted like a kid and. That doesn't ring any bells to me at all. All right, so what do we got? Eyes wide shut. Big little eyes. Big little eyes. Let's just say baby girl. Let's say baby girl. Because we don't have another one.

Okay. And. If you can't even. No's say we don't have another one. Okay. And, um. If you can't even. No, she's in 5000 things. It's just, I mean, don't, don't, don't. You're the one looking at the page. It's much easier when you're on that side of things. I feel, I feel strongly about. Games are easier, yeah, when the person asking the questions,

who has the answers. I feel strongly about days of thunder for some reason. Okay, say it. All right, days of thunder? Yeah. Do you want me to say how many you got correct? Yeah. You got zero correct.

Whoa! Okay, what was it? Moulin Rouge, which I swear you said Moulin Rouge. No, forgot about that. Moulin Rouge, the hours. Sure. Yeah. Check this out, rabbit hole.

Oh, that was random. And this out. Rabbit hole. Oh, that was random. And dogville. What the hell is that? Dogville? Was that the Lars von Trier? I think so. Yeah. Where they had like taped down like Les Nessman style to indicate a room. Les Nessman style.

So we're doing like the top four things they're known for. Whatever it says under known for. Yeah. Yeah, but that keeps going on in this one person's page I'm looking at. There's like a lot. Okay. So did you pick someone? I did, but I'm saying, oh, it becomes not known for.

I see. I see. If there's only four that they're known for and then it moves into actress category. Okay. Okay. So the person is Amy Adams. Amy Adams. I'm going to say the master. Amy Adams. Amy Adams. So I'm gonna say the master.

You're saying the master. What's the one where enchanted? I'm gonna say enchanted. Yeah, enchanted. Night at the Museum Two. I would say the arrival before. Oh, arrival. Or arrival, yeah.

You can get one more. Do you wanna say Night at the Museum Two? Okay, Night at the Museum Two? Okay, Knight at Museum Two. Okay. Rhythm? Yeah. The Master, Enchanted, Arrival, Knight at Museum Two. You got two out of four.

Whoa, which ones do we get correct? You got Arrival and Enchanted. She also is known for The Fighter and American Hustle. The F- ugh. The Fighter and American- To be honest, ugh. The fighter and American, to be honest, I forgot she was in American hustle or the fighter. Oh no, she's good, yeah, I like her in the fighter.

Interesting, interesting Amy Adams. Okay, so that kind of is interesting because those are a bit older. I know, June Bug is so good, but people don't remember it. It's a good movie. I remembered it. Who's the next person? I just said it.

You're not a person. Oh, that's true. All right, so Paul is picking. Yes, I'm gonna say the Tooch, Stanley Tucci. Stanley Tucci, I'm gonna say Big Night. I'm gonna say Julie and Julia. Julie and Julia. I'm gonna say-

Devil Wears Prada. Devil Worse Prada. We both say that one. And then I'll let you have the last if you want. Otherwise I'm just trying to think of another thing. I'm not sure. I'll say Conclave just because it's on people's minds and getting good reviews. I feel like these are dictated by Star. These ones have, on Nicole Kidman I'm looking at, they're all within the seven to eight

range of Stars, whatever those are. Anyway, those are our four. Big Night, Julie and Julia, Devil Wears Prada, and Conclave. You got one correct. Shit, I bet it was Devil Wears Prada and Conclave. You got one correct. Shit, I bet it was Devil Wears Prada. Big Night. Big Night? Big Night is also known for Spotlight.

Oh yeah. The Lovely Bones. Oh, that movie was creepy. I love bones. And of course, Captain America, The First Avenger. What? Who remembers them from that? Right at R.

So what are the- Conklin was number five. What are these based on, I wonder? I don't know. Reviews mixed with- Okay, I'm going to pick someone. That's why I'm telling you it might be a bit random because sometimes they pick things that are really weird and sometimes people adjust it themselves.

Okay, I'm here, I got it. Do you think Stanley Tucci was like, I gotta put Captain America in there. Yeah, that's why I think he did not adjust it. Do you think he's proud of that? I think he's very proud of it. He's probably getting tons of residuals. I think most of his search for Italy show

is him talking about Captain America. Is there anyone like he's talking about? All. Is there anyone you'd like to talk about? All right, I have someone. Ryan Gosling. Barbie. Barbie, drive. Murder by numbers. What is that?

What is that? Barbie, drive. Mickey Mouse, come. Barbie and drive for sure. Okay. Notebook. The notebook. The notebook.

Oh my God, Ryan Gosling. Andbook. The notebook. The notebook. Oh my goodness. And shit. What was the, there's another one that's like, oh, La La Land? Yeah. La La Land. All right. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah.

You can change them. I feel good about that. Your guesses are Barbie, Drive, The Notebook, and La La Land. Yeah. I feel good about that. Your guesses are Barbie, Drive, The Notebook, and La La Land. Yeah. I am here to tell you, you got two correct. Do you want to guess which two you got correct? Barbie and Drive.

You got one correct. Barbie. No. What? Not known for Barbie. Drive and The Notebook. No, you got one correct. Drive and La La Land are correct.

Okay. The other two are Blue Valentine. Oh yeah. I thought of that and I was like, absolutely not. Couldn't be. And then Lars and the Real Girl. What? Oh my God.

He changed that. Like how is Barbie not? He changed that. On that list. He's like, I just liked that one. All right, what do you got, Lauren? Okay, the actor- There's another movie, Barbie, you know who's in it?

The guy from Large and the Real Girl. Let me see here. Okay, let me just check out this page and see if I feel good about it. Okay, check out this page and see if you feel good about it. Okay, Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt. Bradley Pittford.

I'm gonna go with Once Upon a Time in Los Angeles. It's Hollywood, dear. Hollywood, yeah. I'm gonna go with Inglourious Bass Turds. Turds. How about, gosh, so many things over the course of a... You know what I bet in there? Thelma and Louise. You wanna say Thelma? Oh, it's. Gosh, so many things over the course of a. You know, I bet in their film and Louise, you want to say film?

Yeah. OK. You want to say Louise? We'll get to write. I'm going to say. I'm going to say Legends of the Fall. Wow, nice. How many did we get? List them again? Once Upon Time in Hollywood, Inglourious Basterds, Thelma and Louise, and Legends of the Fall.

You got zero. Zero! That's the least amount. Negative one, I guess. How would that work? Do you want to try guess again? Or we didn't even guess movies. You say a movie that somebody else is in?

Okay, okay, so if it's not those, let's guess again. Okay. Oh, this is a new wrinkle to the game. New wrinkle. Interview with a vampire. Okay, vampire, I'm gonna say... I'm gonna say... Weirdly enough,

Woody won the Oscar for the first time, the seven years of Slave, how many years of Slave was it? 12. That's too many. You won an Oscar for that? For producing? For producing, yeah. And you think he's known for that? I don't know. I mean, I would imagine like whatever algorithm is in here to make these things stars.

Right, right, right. Like whether it be awards and reviews or what have you. Like I bet the fact that he's listed on there. I'm gonna say cool world. It's more of a Gabriel Byrne. I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say... I'm gonna say Seventh. Se-Seven-en.

Say it again? Seventh. Okay, Interview with a Vampire, 12 Years a Slave, Cool World, and Se-Seven. None. None! Tell us. You get to guess one more. No, I didn't want to!

One more, one more, one more, one more. One more movie? One more big movie. One more big movie. Just come on. 13 monkeys. 12 monkeys. 14 monkeys.

Yes, 12 monkeys is on there. 12 monkeys is on there? That's nuts. Jesus Christ. Here's what's listed. World War Z. No. Fight Club. Oh yeah. Mr listed. Zombie, World War Z. No. Fight Club.

Oh yeah. Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Yeah. Twelve Monkeys and Moneyball. Moneyball. It's so weird. How random. Okay, Paul.

Who is your person? Janie. She's my person. I feel like she's my person. Yeah. We're going with Samuel L. Jackson. Okay. Snakes on a Plane.

Okay. Pulp Fiction. Okay, those are your two? Yeah. I'm gonna say the Avengers. Do I need to be more specific? No. About which Avengers?

You can be. Okay, I'm just gonna say the Avengers. And then I'll say, Attack of the Clones. It took me a real moment to remember what that was. Never forget Attack of the clones. You got one. Kid, can we guess which one? Yes. OK, I'm going to guess pulp fiction.

Me too. Correct. OK, so what else is it? No, no, no, we don't. Oh, I thought it was only keep guessing if we only get zero. That would be one way to do it. I'm saying it would be fun to now guess. Also my way. That's my way.

OK, what else has he been in? Let me think. How about. How about. Da. How about that? Captain Marvel. OK.

I have to think of more movies, you see. You do. And that's hard sometimes for me. I'm going to guess Die Hard with a Vengeance. OK, you can guess one more. Long Kiss Good Night. OK, so our four are Long Kiss Good Night, Pulp Fiction, Captain Marvel and Die Hard with a Vengeance.

You know, I have two. Oh, is the second one Captain Marvel? Yes, it is. Whoa. OK. Two more. It's did you guess? Was he an Iron Man? He was at the very, very. Oh, was he? Yeah. I guess that's not a tool. Did you guess, was he an Iron Man? He was at the very, very end. Oh, was he?

Okay. Guess that's not one of them. This is a good technique. I like this. Oh, hey, Lauren! Was he in the Phantom Menace? My genuine shock over Iron Man. Oh, was he in that?

I've never read that. Was he in the Phantom Menace? My genuine shock over Iron Man. Oh, was he in that? I've never read that. I, gosh, what else could he have been in? Great question. Was he in seven? He's in so many things. I'm just, I get bad at this kind of trivia sometimes

after I exhaust the first obvious things that come to mind, I have a much harder time. Um, I'm gonna guess then, um, if this seems to be like he had a big part in them because the Avengers, he didn't have a big part. So I Pitt, or no, for, no, nevermind. Terry Watt. Okay, no. I'll check that out too. Okay, Django and then...

I don't know. Is he in more Quentin Tarantino movies? He definitely was in Jackie Brown. Put that on there. All right, Jackie Brown. Okay, what do we do? Now how many do we have? Jackie Brown, Pulp F there. All right, Jackie Brown. OK, well, how many do we have? Jackie Brown, Pulp Fiction, Captain Marvel, Django.

You still only have two. All right. All right. What are the other two? The other two are. Speaking of our friend, QT, the hateful eight hateful eight. No one remembers the hateful eight above Django.

OK, what do you hear this. Above Django? Okay. What do you hear this one above Django? Kingsman the Secret Service. What? What? I don't know what that is. It's so hard to explain. Okay.

Isn't that weird? Can I try to explain Kingsman the Secret Service to you? I actually don't wanna know. And I want you to pick the next person, right? Okay, are we still going? Sure. Are we still going? Okay. All right, now we can stop. We could stop or we could go.

It seems like you're enjoying this. Let's do one more. One more, okay. You know what? I'm gonna go big or go home. Yeah. And since I'm already home, I'm gonna go big. Great logic. Tom Cruise.

Oh, Tom Cruise. The actor. Oh baby. Oh baby. Mission impossible. But I don't know. There's like 50 of those. I don't know what. Yeah. Would you accept a mission impossible movie? No. What you're going to have to be more specific. Come on. Motherfucker. I don't know what they're called. I was going to accept any Avengers. You said really? Yeah. But there's one.

It wasn't in any Avengers. He wasn't in any of the Avengers movies? Well, I mean, that wasn't in his top four. No, I know. But if it had been, I would have been. Hey, I can't believe the pushback I'm getting. I was magnanimously going to accept any Avengers movies. Tom Cruise. They weren't in there. What you asked. Tom Cruise. All right. You want me to accept any Mission any movies. Tom Cruise. They weren't in there. What you asked. Tom Cruise. All right. You want me to accept any Mission Impossible movie? Yes.

All right, I will. That means it's not in there. Eyes wide shut. Eyes wide shut, let's try it again. Top Gun. I'm gonna say Top Gun. I'm gonna say Top Gun Maverick instead of Top Gun. What about Jerry Maguire?

What about it? I'm gonna put that in there. All right. I feel like given what we've seen so far. That won't be in there. Yes, I think we gotta throw in a couple ones that you wouldn't necessarily put in there. Oh, okay.

Rather than his most iconic movies. So what, so far. So not risky business. Right now I have four. Do you want me to eliminate one? I have Mission Impossible, any of the mission impossible race race race Let's start over again Okay, let's throw a mission impossible in there. Okay, okay mission impossible

You also had eyes wide shut Top Gun and Jerry Maguire, do you want me to erase all of these I Think a race Jim Maguire and put risky business. It's just old. I feel like that sometimes there's an old one. I hear you. Okay, so we got, all right, check this out. Check out this reasoning and remember how this has gone so far. So a mission impossible. Risky business as per your instructions.

Tropic thunder. Right. Whoa. Yeah, something random. Yeah. And Magnolia. Okay. Okay. Okay. I'm on board.

Cause he got a, uh, one of his many Oscar nominations for Magnolia. Okay. Still hasn't won. Magnolia. How many are there that we got? You got one correct. Which one? Guess. Mission Impossible.

Correct. Okay. And which one was it? The first one. Now put. Correct. Okay. And which one was it? The first one. No, now put on Jerry Maguire. Now put on Jerry Maguire and Eyes Wide Shut. Okay. And one more? And top, we already said Top Gun?

Did we say Top Gun in the crew? You haven't, you haven't said it yet. Top Gun, Maverick. Top Gun, Maverick. You have two correct. What? Do you want to guess which one of these three? Jerry Maguire, Eyes Wide Shut, or Top Gun Maverick you have correct?

Top Gun. I'm gonna say Top Gun Maverick. Incorrect. Jerry Maguire. Jerry Maguire. Jerry Maguire. I should have been less, believe women. All right, so you have two.

Okay, so Mission Impossible and Jerry Maguire. Okay. Now Top Gun one. Top Gun one. Paul, do you have a guess? Yes, I do. And it goes a little something like this. Days of Thunder. You love Days of thunder.

You love days of thunder. I love to say it. OK, you have three correct. Whoa. Top Gun Top Gun. Yes. Now we need one more. It's that fourth one. It is that fourth one.

It's going to be like the Simpsons or something weird. It would be weird because he's never been in it. Well, it would be a voiceover on something. Born on the 4th of July. Kung Fu Panda 5. Maybe I can help narrow it down for you

since this is like, you know, gonna be really hard. It is a big budget movie with a big director. War of the Worlds? I don't, yeah, I don't know. Sure. Steven Spielberg? You are close, but no cigar. War of the States. It's with Steven Spielberg?

You are correct. Okay, what movie did he do with Spielberg? What movie did he did with Spielberg? Minority Report. Minority Report! I keep meaning to rewatch that. It comes up a lot, that movie. It does come up a lot. I don't know that you need to rewatch it,

but it is a reference that a lot of people use. Cause I remember watching and being like, eh, and then it does come up so much. Details of it come up a lot. And it makes me think, did I, would I like that movie more if I watched it again? I think I just started watching it recently again, was kind of like, still, but some interesting stuff.

Yeah, some interesting stuff. Interesting stuff, guys. That was pretty fun. That was pretty fun. I like that one. Thank you, Katie. Katie. Katie, male. Katie, male.

This season, we're delving deep into five critical issues facing our country through the lens of childcare, poverty, mental health, housing, climate change, and the public school system.

By exploring these connections, we aim to highlight that childcare is not an isolated issue, but one that influences all facets of American life. Season four of No One is Coming to Save Us is out now wherever you get your podcasts.
