Hi, I'm Reshma Sajjani, founder of Girls Who Code. Look, I'd consider myself a pretty successful adult woman. I've written books, founded two successful nonprofits, and I'm raising two incredible kids. But here's the thing. I still wake up wondering, is this it? And if the best years are yet to come, when's that going to start? Join me on My So-Called Midlife, my new podcast with Lemonada Media,

where we're building a playbook for navigating midlife, one episode at a time. Each week, I'll chat with extraordinary guests who've transformed their midlife crisis into opportunities for growth and newfound purpose. At some point, we all ask ourselves, is there more to life? I'm here to discover how to thrive in my second act, right alongside you. My So-called Midlife is out now, wherever you get your podcasts. Freedom! Freedom! Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Here we are. It's freedom o'clock, I like to say.

And I'm late. It's freedom o'clock somewhere. Right here. No, right here. Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm saying. Right here. Right.

Right now. It's freedom o'clock somewhere, dear. What if you had to stipulate that every time you said, you know, you're going to be a good friend, you're going to be a good friend, you're going to be a good friend, you redim o'clock somewhere dear what if you had to stipulate that every time you said it's five o'clock somewhere about a time or a place You had to say what that it's somewhere. I have a dentist appointment Someone has a dentist appointment at 2 30 and it's me Somebody somewhere has a dentist appointment at 2 30. I'm almost there guys. What if?

It's time for your dentist appointment. It's time for your dentist appointment somewhere. Hold on, I'm so close, I'm so close. It's time for somebody's dentist appointment somewhere. And that person is me and that person is you. But do you usually say it's five o'clock somewhere here, I'm having a drink? No, you don't.

That's the thing. So that's why I am like, what? I'm saying what if, my premise is, what if you had to do that? Yeah, that'd be hard. Like legally do you mean? I think we've proved that for sure. Or do you mean like by law, legally?

You could be arrested. A-rested. By law legally, yeah. You could be A-rested. Yeah, you could be A-rested. A-rested. By law, legally, yeah. You could be A-rested. Yeah, you could be A-rested. You could be A-rested, B-tired. B-breasted. C-crested.

Breasted. Hey, everyone out there, be breasted, as Michelle Obama once said. Melania. Oh, yeah, Melania, sorry. I get those two confused. Not Michelle Obama. Michelle Obama's like, do something. But aim high.

Just because you had to suffer through living in the White House for eight years, doesn't mean I'm lazy. Yeah. But you are lazy. No, I am, but that's not why. Someone's lazy and that someone is me. And it's five o'clock.

Someone's lazy somewhere and that person is me here. Could you imagine if your spouse hated your job so much? You think she really hated it. I think she did that seems to be yes. I've kind of yeah Yeah, that's why they went into Netflix after they got out of the White House and nothing connected to politics Well, same with um Harry and Meghan, you know, jump over to Netflix. Did they ever do a podcast or anything? Oh yeah. They did?

Oh yeah, I think they, well, I don't know. What I've heard is that the company felt a little ripped off by their podcast, but. Yeah, no shit. Welcome to podcasting. I just saw. Hello. I usually it's the other way around.

What did you see, honey? Honey, what did you see? A Hitchcock? Oh, you saw TikTok. There's my TikTok corner. I just saw it floating in the sky and it made me feel crazy. It was posted by Chelsea Devantes, who has the wonderful podcast,

Glamorous Trash, formerly known as Celebrity Memoir. What was it called? Correct, yes. Celebrity Book Club, maybe? Yeah, it's all, but it's all celebrity memoirs. Anyways, she just had a TikTok that I thought was really fascinating. That, so a lot of memoirs have a psychic moment in them.

Apparently it's like a trend within celebrity memoirs. So what does it, what does that mean? Story of like a story of a time that you were like psychic or something happened that was like, okay. So this one was from irritating. Well, I like that, but I think it's funny that it does occur regularly, but I do like a psychic moment and this one I loved. regularly, but I do like a psychic moment. And this one I loved.

And it was Harry talking about when he was with Meghan and they left, they moved to California and did all this. I guess Meghan had bought at some point a Queen Elizabeth Christmas ornament and it was hanging on the tree, which is kind of funny. And when they moved and it was hanging on the tree, which is kind of funny. And they don't get enough of her when they like moved and it was all like, they're in a store together like, oh, look at this. Someone we know. Family history.

Anyway, that ornament like fell off the tree like by itself and shattered. Wow. And they then like that happened. And it was like a thing that happened in real life. And then Harry was talking to a psychic and that person said, your mother loves everything that you're doing right now. And she and like she said this is what the life she wanted for you. And he was like, okay, I like that. But how can you prove that?

And she was like, she's saying something about an ornament and an ornament breaking. And she thought she was there and she thought that was funny. Hmm. She thought it was funny. She thought it was funny. Or she like, you know, she chuckled, she chuckled. Ho ho ho ho ho. Merry Christmas. I liked that.

And famously I met Princess Diana, let's never forget. That's right. Let's never forget. Do you have a picture of it? Let's never forget that. Do you have a picture? I can't remember. You know what?

The closest I've come is I have found the- A picture of her. Yeah, I found a picture of her. But I found the Getty images from that location at that time. And I'm in, I'm, you know, I gotta be in the crowd. I know exactly where I was standing. Gotta be in the crowd.

But yeah. Gotta be in there. I shook her hand. I shook her hand. Yeah. Wow. That is crazy. And she, and she in turn shook the world. An amazing woman indeed. Indeed. You're dressed like you're sort of dressed like her when she was in Philadelphia.

And she wore the Eagles jacket. Oh, yeah. Or the one where we all remember. It's look, it's an iconic. You know, this is the Northwestern sweatshirt. Philadelphia was an iconic. We have the iconic Northwestern for Philadelphians. The Northwestern sweatshirt was an iconic. We have the iconic Northwestern sweatshirt. For Philadelphians. Sorry, Paul.

She had her bike shorts. The rest of the world doesn't care about Philadelphia. I know you don't respect my culture. You know, people who aren't from Philadelphia, we really don't care about Philadelphia. We don't think about you at all. That's 100% true. You know, I came across a conversation, people talking about a psychic and I assumed they were making fun of the psychic and I was all ready to get in on the conversation.

And then it slowly dawned on me that they were having a genuine conversation. And I just kind of went, hmm. I like back to the lobster bib on where the lobster bib on. Were the people cool up. Rubbing your hands. Were the people cool up and her friend in your house. That's what I was thinking. So I came across this conversation. I was going to chime in.

And then I went back to my room. I turned a corner of my own home and came across this conversation. I mean, sometimes I like that stuff. And sometimes I'm very skeptical. But you know, I think to each their own. Sure.

Whatever makes your thing ping. Absolutely. That makes my thing ping. I've never heard that phrase. The only problem I have with it. You know what? The only problem I really have is mainly astrology just because it's so involved and it takes too long to explain things.

Whereas psychics, it's like, there's a veil between us and the next realm and blah, blah, blah. It's like, that's all you need to know. And then it's like, that's how I hear voices or that's how I see things. And then astrology is, it feels like there's so many details

that you have to be given. That feels new because it feels like astrology used to be like, hey, there's 12 things. And if you're one of these things, you're like this. And then they realized that was stupid. And then they're like, oh, no, no, no. But then there's like new there's moons and there's like 500 things. And that's really specific to you.

Yeah, sometimes I like it. They realize it was stupid. Oh, this is stupid. Oh, the world. People can see through this. Not every Virgo is having a bad day today. You know, you have to like. Do you remember a few years ago when they discovered a new sign?

Wow. Everyone quietly hushed it up. Hushed it up. Remember that? Yeah. They paid everyone off. It was like the astrological community decided we're not going to acknowledge this. Even though astronomers have discovered this, we're not going to acknowledge this. It's going to throw off our whole fucking thing. Isn't there, isn't that kind of what happened with Pluto? Yeah, that's also what happened with the planets.

It's like, if you were an astronomer, you must be feeling terrible that like we discovered these things and no one cares. But I will say this though, Pluto is still a thing that's in space. I disagree. They just, they just changed it. I only recognize the planets. Yeah. I don't think it's, I don't think it actually exists. Oh, this, you're one of those.

I'm a Pluto truther. Yeah. Pluto truther. Nah, I don't want to get into this more, but I have, I have discovered some more people that might be, I mean, discovered new people and they live under this huge fine. They live in a pineapple under the city. Oh, this, this is a civilization you came upon in your head. No, I think I was sort of, I witnessed,

I was sort of hearing conversation and then I saw the civilization and then I was like, you know what, I'm just gonna keep my hands off this. Was there a gentleman named Bob there perhaps? I think that's part of his name. He goes by his full name, SpongeBob. I hope it's a scene in SpongeBob where somebody calls him Bob and he corrects them. It's one word.

Typically when you give a nickname, do the nickname on the last part. It depends. So you think it's Sponge Robert? It could be. Do you think it's Sponge Robert? Do you think it's sponge Robert Burt? Do you think it's a sponge it in Robert? That would be a huge reveal this late in the SpongeBob lore. Yeah.

Think of one nickname that goes with the end of a name. Okay. Well, there's ran for Lauren. That's so common. Yeah. For Scott. All for Paul. Yeah. This comes up.

Or sometimes I just call you L. This, nicknames come up in crosswords a lot where it's like. What about a Topher Grace? Fur? That, but that's, I think, I think Topher for Christopher is, is, it's one of those where you go, okay. Usually it's Chris. you go, okay. You go, okay.

Usually it's Chris or Christ. You kind of go, I'll let you have that one. I always find the ones like Jack for John to be very confusing. It's like the same amount of syllables, same amount of letters. Starts with- It's just a little looser.

I guess. I feel like the one that makes the most sense to me and is pleasing in a way is Bob for Robert because it's got, it is a shortening of Robert and then they put the B in there, which makes it littler. Do you know what I mean? Well, Paul, but why not do Rob? No one ever told you that it's short for Bobbert.

For Lauren Bobbert? Uh oh. She's a great Broadway performer. The Beetlejuice broad. She should be in every Broadway show, in the audience. She really should be. And she wants to be. I would like you to judge how well you're doing

by how much she's groping the person next to her. Yeah. Or being groped. Or being groped. Oh, he's got his hand outside the dress, but not inside. We got to work hard. We got to up the energy, everybody. Imagine being in that location and thinking it's like, there's tension in the air.

It's like you're at Beetlejuice. This is turning me on. Wait, what do you mean, Lauren, that there's tension in the air? Meaning like the rest of the audience? Well, that sexual tension could even occur that you would start to be like let's just start fucking in here It's like this so I mean like I've never seen it, but what I did see at the Tony's I'm like that energy is not leaving room for there to be like like touching weenises in there No

Although it's better than if it's a you, like a drama or it just shouldn't be happening in public probably. But yeah, you don't think any sex should happen in public. I think, I think I think seriously saying no sexual foreplay should happen in public spaces. Yeah. I don't want to see that as Valerie Cheris. Do you think there should always be six walls around any sex? You know,

the four walls, four walls, and then the ceiling and the floor. Oh, I want four walls, but no floor and no ceiling. Okay. So it's like a rolling box. Yeah. Yeah. I think there should be six walls surrounding sex. But how humans humans never would have survived if sex had to be indoors all the time, we would be extinct. I know that you like to have sex outside by Gelson's, but that's kind of a local supermarket chain.

Yes. but that's kind of a you thing. That's a local supermarket chain. Yes, Lord's describing. For our listeners and the flyovers. Out by Target. There's something everyone would understand. Crosses all. What was your local grocery or like what CVS used to be kind of thing when you were growing up?

Acne. Lucky. That was our supermarket. What was yours? Lucky. Lucky. We had Dominic's and jewel, which we still have. Oh, jewel I've heard of.

Dominic's became something else. Jewel like J U U L. Mariano's or something. J E W E L. Oh, OK. And then CVS was Osco. Osco. Oh, Osco. Yeah. I loved Osco and I was very sad when it became CBS and the lighting got worse. I'm trying to think if we had like a local.

What other businesses does the lighting get worse when someone takes it over? Yeah. Boy, oh boy. This is a tough one. You know what makes the lighting better? What's that? When Gordon Ramsay takes over your restaurant. That's bad. You know what makes the lighting better? When Gordon Ramsay takes over your restaurant. That's right. Oh, does he get into the lighting and shit?

Oh, he changes the look of the place. Oh, I didn't know that. I thought he just was like, your food has expired. You get a shop makeover as well. It's wonderful. It's the price of being called Donkey. Yeah, you could stop selling your old Donkey meat, but it's it's what Shrek. It's what Shrek used to do for Donkey used to come in and like, redesign his stable. Yeah, Shrek and Donkey is

one of the greatest love stories. Shrek and Donkey the San Francisco treat. You think it was a love story between two, two bros. Like master and commander. I think if you don't see the love story, you weren't paying attention. I know I was angry. So that means I was paying attention. Where does the dragon fit into this? The dragon. I mean, it's kind of one of their bonding things. The dragon's just being cucked.

There's a big dragon that they have to go like deal with. And Donkey falls in love with it. Right. Right. Right. Right. How's that going to work? So you're telling me Donkey is going to go to see Beetlejuice with that dragon and somehow end up having sexual intercourse with Shrek. Not with Shrek. With Shrek who's playing Beetlejuice. Comes down. That's a good one. Oh, he looks so... Can we please... Green Skin is probably a great starting place for Beetlejuice makeup. Can our listeners please send us AI art of Shrek dressed as Beetlejuice?

Please? Please use AI. We so seldom ask for AI art. What about a drawing that they did by themselves because they're talented? No. Remember Paul, when we were just in London, a taxi cab came by and was waiting at a red light. And who was driving it? But Beetlejuice himself. Oh, my God. And seated next to him was, uh, whatever her name was.

The one on the rider. What the fuck Lydia, Lydia, and we all took pictures and videos and it was very exciting. Everyone was happy to see that, that car. Yeah. He stuck his tongue out and was like, ah, I'm Beetlejuice. Pretty cool. Did he have a British accent? I can only imagine. I didn't hear a British accent? I can only imagine. I didn't hear him speak, but I can only imagine, yeah.

What would a British person- Do you think Beetlejuice's accent changes wherever he goes? Yeah. I wonder if in London, if they have to redub everything with British accents. Yeah, of course they do. They probably want to to feel more comfortable. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Fast and Furious.

What are some classic Beetlejuice lines? I can't even think of any. Yeah. Yeah. Fast and furious. What are some classic Beetlejuice lines? I can't even think of any. I live my life one quarter more. Well, I want, you know what, just speaking of dubbing, I went out to dinner the other night with two of Mike's friends who I hadn't met yet. And one of them is French and she grew up in France and she grew up with American shows that were dubbed. And she said, um, the one of the craziest, like, cause I was like, it must've felt weird when you moved here and then you're watching those things and they're different voices and stuff. And she said, one of the craziest ones was Bruce Willis because she was like, his French voice was amazing. And I was very comfortable with that. And then hearing his voice in real life, it was like,

he's just some Bronx mook. Is he from Jersey? Yeah, I guess you're right. I don't know what that was. Jersey. Okay, he from Jersey? Yeah, I guess you're right. I don't know what that word is. Jersey. Okay, Paul. The word Jersey? You've never heard of Jersey?

Lauren. No, I've never heard of the word you said that sounds derogatory. Mook? Yeah. It is derogatory. It is not problematic. Okay.

I'm still not going to repeat it. Come on Lauren, please. Please say MOOC. Please say jabroni. No, I simply won't. Please. No. Knucklehead, please.

Knucklehead's fine. Knucklehead's okay. Thank you. Yeah. What do you, like, what do you call your children when they're being stupid? MOOCs. You gotta call them MOOCs, yeah. Will you MOOCs be quiet? Yeah. What do you like, what do you call your children when they're being stupid? Moogs? You gotta call them Moogs. Yeah.

Will you Moogs be quiet? Are they still getting along? Are they still? Oh, they get along like amazingly. And like Holly like puts her full weight on Gigi and it's so funny to me. Like she'll like, I'm like, don't do that. Obviously I try to make sure it's okay. But Gigi just laughs.

She like loves it. She loves however Holly wants to play with her. And I just have to say, we've been, you know, sleep has been challenging. Last night, Gigi slept all night without a single cry. She had a team of little like cries for like one second, but not, but all night for 12 hours. I love that for you.

So I'm really, I'm really hoping this is going to be a trend. I'm not going to even expect it to happen again tonight, but if it did, I would be very, very happy. It was amazing. That's incredible. Yeah. I'm kind of in a crazy situation because she sleeps in our room, but Mike has insomnia. And when he gets woken up, he can't fall back asleep. So he hasn't been sleeping in there for like a long time. And then, so, but then we're trying to sleep train.

What's the real story, Lauren? Yeah. Well, I've been sleeping on the couch. Oh, I've been sleeping on the couch because I'm in the dog house. But I was sleeping on the couch sometimes because when I'm trying to sleep train her, if I'm right there, I kind of just immediately, I don't wait, I don't, I'm only waiting like

two minutes to even do anything if I'm- You gotta wait 10. Well, I was doing- You gotta wait too. It's actually five. You gotta wait 10. But I would not, I can't do 10. Regardless I was reacting.

The first time. I, when I, when we did it the first time with her, I felt that I was doing five minutes and we got really far. Then I moved back into the room. And then I was almost like immediately doing things because you can't wait five minutes when you're like laying right there. It's so hard. I know, it's very hard.

So now I moved back out. I could do it. And she didn't need anything that I say. And I'm like, I think we might be, but the problem is I'm gonna have to move back in eventually and then Mike's gonna, so then I'm like, then I'm gonna have to move her out of there. Cause it's just, it's a whole, everyone's sleeping

in all the crazy places. This is too complicated for me. Just streamline this. I need to streamline it to where the parents sleep in the big bed and everyone else sleeps in their grip. That's why I feel like I would be great at sleep training. A crying does not affect me at all. It doesn't. I don't, it's like, I don't even hear it. Wow. You just say like, I pity you. I don't. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. To anyone or anything that is crying. Yeah. Anything. I also just want to say

for the record, which I've said before, when I was doing this about Holly, I'm sure I gave the whole disclaimer, but you don't need to sleep trainer kids and you can if you want. And anybody who has a differing opinion about that is great and what you're doing is great and what I'm doing is great. Everybody's great. Yeah. Kids. It's such. Everybody's great. Yeah. It's such a hot button issue. Sure. Everyone likes to raise their kids differently. That is true. Here's what I love is everybody talking about this shit as if they,

and they always say it in a very authoritative way. And it's like, you're, you have no proof that this works because the baby's a baby. That's so true. And you think you're not gonna screw this baby up? You're going to. We all get screwed up. Of course, of course. We all fucking get screwed up. We haven't made a mistake yet.

Yeah. So I'm really happy. Like we have a perfect record right now. But so I'm just waiting for like one mistake for us to make that'll screw up Emmy. Yeah, it'll be obvious. Are you and Emi still getting along? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Good. Good. Still. She still likes me, which is crazy. That's great.

And you put your full weight on her. Yeah, of course. Don't do that. Well, she used to do that to our dogs. Just put her full weight on. Babies like to put their full weight on things. Yeah. It's honestly so funny how Holly will just lay, and I'm like, stop. I mean, it's only two seconds, but Gigi's just so happy. Two second rule. All right, we have to take a break.

And we're back. I'm Beetlejuice. And we're back. And we're back. Hello, Lydia. Would you like to marry me? Do you think I'm a scary ghost? Do you think I'm a scary ghost? I'm actually a beetle man. What if Holly wanted to be Beetlejuice for next Halloween?

That'd be hilarious My god this past Halloween there was a little kid dressed as the Riddler like from the old Batman with question marks Show as a Riddler, like from the old Batman. With question marks. With a CD show. Question mark suit, little purple bowler and a mask. He must've been like four years old. Wow. Wow. How'd he get into watching that old one? I don't know, man.

I guess it's, you know, muted bright colors. Kids love that, right? I used to watch the 60s Batman when I was that age. Used to love it. I did. Yeah, but you didn't have better shows yet. You don't know though. You don't know things are bad.

What's the age when you finally figure out stuff is bad? No, I watch terrible things. That's fine. Maybe 12, 13. I don't know. Even later. I think about, yeah, I remember watching The Black Hole in theaters.

Yeah, I didn't like it when it was in theaters. And finding it kind of boring, yeah. And I felt it was, oh, you know what? The one I had that the most with was Tron. Yeah. Where I was very excited to see this movie. It was disappointing. And I had that feeling of being a kid and like,

am I allowed to not like this? Yeah, like if it passed through the studio system, aren't I supposed to like this? Is it okay to say I don't like things? I'm sure we've talked about this, but how many times have you left a theater because you did not like the movie? Every, every once in a while someone was asking me three times, three times. Yeah. Yellow beard.

Oh, yellow beard. It's this Monty Python adjacent. Yeah. Terry Jones directed it. Yellowbeard. Oh, Yellowbeard. It's this Monty Python adjacent. Yeah. Terry Jones directed, I think. Cheech and Chong and people from the Mel Brooks world. Like it was this sort of super group of comedy people and it just didn't work.

Yeah. I used to leave things all the time actually, but now I just kind of sit it out. I do remember my friend left showgirls five minutes before the end. Like he just couldn't take it. Five minutes? My mom would do that sometimes where she would get so frustrated by a movie that she would leave. I asked for my money back one time and it was Intolerable Cruelty, the Coen Brothers movie. And I just, I was not liking it at all.

It was really weird. And I went to the, I went up to the box office and said, could I get my money back? Cause it was only like 10 minutes in, 20 minutes in. Yeah, supposedly the theater I went to, it was a half hour rule. Like if you stayed past a half hour, they wouldn't give you your money back.

The guy asked me like, can I ask why you want your money back? And I said, I did not like this movie. And then he said, okay. What other reason would there be? I just didn't wanna pay. I don't, I want my money back. I saw what I needed to see, I loved it.

I just want my money back. Absolutely loved it. Can't wait for the team out my money back. I miss the money that I had. And I wish I didn't, I wish I didn't get lonely now. Couldn't concentrate on this film because I kept thinking about that money I gave you. Why did I give it to you? And can I have it back? And the last one was a movie called Beautiful with, God damn, what's his name? No country for old men. Josh Brolin? Javier Bardem.

Javier Bardem, thank you. My dishwasher is making a sound, I'm gonna go turn it off, excuse me. You guys talk about Beautiful. Okay. Beardo. He's never coming back, is he? I can't hear any fucking dishwasher. This fucking guy?

No, I can't hear a dishwasher. It's certainly not a problem. We'll just say that much. What's your least back, is he? I can't hear any fucking dishwasher. This fucking guy? No, I can't hear a dishwasher. It's certainly not a problem. We'll just say that much. What's your least favorite thing about Scott? The way that he's putting the headphones back on. Oh, he's gone, he's gone, he's gone. My least favorite thing,

that I just like everything too much. Oh, hey. We weren't talking about you at all. No, we were talking about the movie, Beautiful. Okay. And I learned all about it. Tell me everything you, yeah. What's it about?

Well, it's about a very beautiful man. Okay, I'm satisfied. That's when we lived near the Vista movie theater. We used to just, that was, I really missed that because we would just decide to go to a movie on the spur of the moment. I love that. I love that.

Yeah. That rules. Yeah, it was great. That's so fun. I used to, my barber shop used to be across the street from there and one time I went, I made a barber appointment. And you made him go to the movies with you

and cut your hair in the movie. No, I was there. I was, it was in the neighborhood and the spur of the moment I said, let me get a haircut. They said, it'll be like 40 minutes. And I said, okay, I went across the street and watched the first 40 minutes of Santa Andreas with the Rock.

Asked for your money back. Did not ask for my money back. Felt absolutely fine walking out of that movie. It's like, thank you for giving me something to do. What an interesting use of time to just say, I'm just going to watch 40 minutes of a movie. That would never cross my mind. I feel that I need to see the whole thing kind of no matter what. Not if I'm watching it at home, but if I go to the theater, I want to see the whole thing.

What do you think happened, Paul, in the last, you know, 80 minutes of. I think that the rock probably got a big needle in thread and sewed the San Andreas fault back up. Yeah. Do you think he then said, I can smell what the rock is cooking within the San Andreas fault? Yeah, I do. I can smell what this magma, rocks are cooking turning into magma.

He says a variation of it in every movie that he's in so why would this one be any different? Yeah right and I think he has to get it out. It's just something it's honestly involuntary. I can smell what this jungle is cruising. He said that. I love how the Rock makes Hitchcock style cameos in his own films. I remember when um. As the wrestler the Rock. in his own films. I remember when as the wrestler, the rock

in the background, just like walking, walking by. He'll arch his eye. When I was an eighth grade, my friend got really into watching wrestling. And so we would watch the rock all the time. And a couple of other people I don't remember as much, but I, I really have distinct memories about watching him do his thing and finding it enjoyable. We would sit on giant bouncy yoga balls. Well, part of the story,

but I probably mentioned this before, cause I always, it's something that I thought about recently in the last couple of years and kind of reflected on that my friends- You were in the wild, wild country cult, I know. My friend's mom was going through a divorce. And so she lived in this really

big house with like, she's still going through it. She's almost at the end. I mean, I think, yeah, it's a long tunnel, but, um, but the house, it was, we loved hanging out there because it was a huge house with no furniture and we could put these big bouncy balls and bounce all over the place and like then do dances and like do stupid shit. But in retrospect, I think, Oh, that must have been a really hard time for her. She had a teenager, like a preteen and then two little twins who were like five. Like that sounds really hard. And she was a single mom. She was on an air mattress in the next room with a cold compress on her head. Yeah. And we're all going like, I can smell it with the Rockies. Kaka. Bouncing around on your balls. And we're like, let's make ramen.

Like, yeah. We ate a lot of ramen, and we ate a lot of crepes. We got into like, Crepes? Yeah, we got into like things where we would just make the same thing over and over again. My mom got a crepe maker in maybe 1980 or something like that and was like, this is the new trend in cooking.

And would make us crepes. And they were all crepes from here on out. Yeah. You know what? There's this company, I just bought some crepes that were frozen. You bought a company? Lauren, this is huge.

It's called like the something brothers and it's two little cartoons that look like Mario looking brothers or something. And it's- Einstein brothers? Not Einstein brothers. No, but they make crepes. And it was, it's del it's delicious. I ate the whole box. Um, yeah. Do you ever go to the, uh, no,

over the course of a week, you ever go to the farmer's market here at the crepe restaurant, which I can't believe is still in business, but I guess they must do well. No, no. Oh yes. The Grove. Yeah. Yeah. I've eaten there a few times. No. No. Oh yes. The Grove. Yeah. Yeah. I've eaten there a few times. Yeah. Okay.

Wait, the company is called Belgian Boys. I'm just telling you in case anybody likes that. Thank you. Belgian Boys. I think the last time I ate at the Crepe? At the Crepe restaurant was probably 25 years ago when we tried to get on the prices right.

Wow. And we and we woke up way too late and when went there to CBS Television City and, you know, said, can we still get in? They were like, no. And so we went to go get crepes instead. They're like, do you think this is a lawless universe? We have rules here. Yes. And Cool Up had made sweatshirts that said Barker's Beauty in Training.

Were you visiting or you lived here? We all lived here. So why was it, why were you late and why did you never go again? For roommates. Um, we- Cause you could go any day, right? Well, it's- Any day, seven days a week. I can't remember why. I think, I think maybe I knew an, I know I did know one of the ushers who kind

of gave me tips about what to say in the interview in order to get on the show, which was don't seem too excited because when you get on TV, you will naturally become more excited. And if you're already at a 10, they think you will be a lunatic. And so they won't pick you. Plenty of lunatics who get picked. That's interesting. Well, they turn into lunatics though, because they started a base level.

They started a base level. Various other things, but you had to get there by like 5.30 AM or something like that in order to get on the show. Oh hell no. Yeah. No, no, no, no. Because they tape it 8 AM or something like that. That's terrible. And we- Oh, they have to sync up the show. Oh hell no. Yeah. No, no, no, no. Because they tape it, they tape it 8 a.m. or something like that.

That's terrible. And we, we. Oh, they have to sync up the time zones with the Matterhorn. Yes. Because that little guy has to climb up the mountain and he's in another country. Yeah. Yeah.

So we, I think our alarm went off at 5 15 or something. Or no, we set the alarm for 4 30 and then we slept through it until about 5 15. Then we're like, come on everyone, get, get, get ready. Come on everyone. And we got there by six 45 probably, cause we were coming from downtown and they were like, no, get out of here. So we had Craig. Sounds like you, you guys like starting the alarm so early and sleeping through

it and then scrambling. It sounds like such druggy behavior to me. Like you're in a place you're not supposed to be. It's like, oh, we gotta, it's almost said they're gonna be here. We gotta get out of here. Cause it's also so crazy cause you could just go, let's just not do it today. Let's do it next Monday or whatever.

You know, it gets, it's like always there. I don't know what was so special. I think you had to have tickets though. So we had tickets for that day. Okay. They really make it challenging. They do. Back then you couldn't just go online and get a new ticket.

You had to, you had to go out of your way to get a ticket. Yeah. I don't know how you did it. I really don't know. But now am I happy that there's not embarrassing tape of me, uh, being on the price of. I wish there was so bad. You wouldn't be able to laugh at that.

I wish they were like, come on down. And you were like, You start crying. You tumble down the steps like Willy Wonka. Don't we know someone who's on the Price is Right? Yeah, for sure. I don't know who. Not the celebrity version. No. Is there a celebrity version of Price is Right?

Because I'm going to have to get on that. Is there a celebrity version of Price is Right? Cause I'm going to have to get on that. Is there a celebrity version of Price is Right? Yeah. I mean, I know someone who, I will say, I know someone who occasionally they would team a celebrity up with a real person. So I know someone who teamed up with Tiffany Haddish, uh, and won a car, I believe. Wow. A brand new car? Uh, no, this one was about 30 years old. Oh, that's, that's different on celebrity prices.

Yeah, it was a gas goddler. Yeah. Yeah, they gave the new car to Tiffany Haddish. Oh, no. Well, she needs it. She's a celebrity. She has to go places. I believe.

Do you guys know Alyssa Sabo? Yeah. Who's a performer. I know that name. Heard of her. She's one of those people that's been on a ton of game shows. And Matt Gourley and Mark McConville used to do game shows a lot years ago. There's footage of them on a show called Lingo.

Oh yeah, Lingo. I used to watch that. And they, for some reason, were wearing costumes. I think it was like Halloween week or something like that. And so they're playing lingo dressed in these weird costumes. That's perfect. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My friend Gray Delisle, I was watching, I think, the season premiere, like the very first episode of Judge Judy,

which if you've never seen the first episode of Judge Judy. Series premiere? Series premiere, yeah. Wow. If you've never seen this. That's day one. The series premiere of Judge Judy is crazy because the bailiff arrests the person in the like

Like they I think they wanted this. I think they wanted to say hey the stakes here are higher Than you know, this is in the people's court. Yeah, you can get arrested here But they literally the bailiff that that guy who was her bailiff for all those years, she had him arrest the person in the, who was bringing the suit or something like that. I can't remember why, but my friend, but I remember saying like, is that my friend gray in the audience? And she just was watching. She's just watching. And I, I,

I called and asked her about it. She's like, Oh yeah, I've been to, I've been to that a million times. She used to go there just for fun. Like almost every day. I think Brian Stoffe did that. I was just going to say, yeah, I think, I think I, I don't, I don't, I can't remember if I've actually seen this or if I can just see it so clearly in my brain, but Brian in the gallery at Judge Judy. Oh, that's so funny. Yeah. I think that happened. I think he and his friend Stephanie used to go, right?

Yes. Yes. You would talk about it on the podcast. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, so people please dig up these images of our friends or just make AI art about them dressed as Shrek dressed as Beetlejuice. Why do you want AI art so badly? I've never seen any, I wanna see some. I've never seen any gallons and gallons of water. You know what, there's that thing going around where it says AI uses or chat GBT uses like all this water.

So if I just pour water on my computer, like it'll do all the chat GBT stuff. Yeah, Mr. Bean. You have to make a wish. Mr. Bean. It was like, um, I did see that and I was, I was kind of unsettled by that. I've never really, I don't even know how to use chat GPT. I don't, I haven't explored such things.

I'm sure it'll come to me at some point in the world and it'll become, it'll just become something we all do or whatever. I don't know. But, um, I saw a thing that was like, well, streaming uses up water. It's like we aren't taking into account that everything we're doing, it's actually not our, it's more, we gotta talk about the big corporations causing the problems everywhere, of course. What we're doing right now is taking up water.

Cause I'm drinking water. One thing I thought was really fucked up though. I'm having coffee, so I'm taking up some water. Yeah. I just did a search for Mr. Bean AI. And it's, uh, it's weird. It's not, it's not really Mr. Bean doing Mr. Bean things. Oh, no. Can I just say he's doing normal things? It doesn't have to be weird. It's just imagined. It's just artificial.

It doesn't have to be weird or interesting. The number one task of AI is to be fake. Yep. That's all it says. It's going to do. It's all it's going to do. I just wanted to tell you one thing. I sent a DM to my friend. Continue, sweetie. I noticed a typo in it. You sent a DM to your friend. So I hit edit and I went to change the word

and I accidentally clicked some button that was next to where I was typing and it was an AI tool within Instagram DMs that said, make funnier, make sympathetic. Oh, make sympathetic. Oh, yeah. Did you press it? It made me so sad. I didn't press it. I should have pressed it just to see what it does. This button was made for you.

Yeah, because I do, I need to make things sympathetic. I don't know how to be that funny. No, funnier. I avoided that one. You bitch. How do I pretend to care about this asshole? Hmm. I wish there was a tool. I wish it was a tool, a bit taller. Did you see the clip of Ben Affleck talking about AI? No. God, I want to see it. It, he was not doing, you know, he speaks Spanish.

I just think that's cool. It is cool. I would like to be fluent in a language other than my own. But here's the thing. He talks in such an erudite way. Ben Affleck used a word that I'd never heard before. Erudite? And I was shocked. What was it?

Yeah, now I'm using it all the time. I can't remember the word. I was like, well, I have to look that up. But he's talking in a very professorial manner about AI. It's really wild. I've never heard him speak like this before. He's very smart.

He's very smart. Yeah, like I never thought he was dumb. You know what I mean? But I never heard- But then when you heard that word, you were like- I've never heard an actor speak with this level of sort of scientific sort of knowledge. It was really, I'll send it to you. It's really wild.

I need to hear this. You don't think he's smart because he's just one of those, shall I say, mooks who's out there like working on the asteroid, you know, like digging into it, you know, along with Bruce Willis. But I think it's a, I think it's a side effect of his good looks. We just assume he doesn't have much going on up there. He's so handsome. I thought this guy has to be dumb. All right. It's me. Don't a box of donuts.

Speaking of something about Duncan, he does make me want Duncan. Speaking of Duncan, we need to take breaks and dunk on some of these advertisers. Okay. We're going to do our ad reads while dunking on the products. It doesn't seem like a good idea. It doesn't seem like a good idea. Hope you enjoy it, but here we go. We're going to take a break.

And We're back and And guess what? We happen to be back. Haters. We didn't quit in the middle of the episode. I know a lot of people said they're the next break they take. They're not coming back. Well, you were wrong.

Yeah. I mean, you heard that I want to see what it said. You heard our feelings, but we did come back. Haters. We came back haters and hate unto you. And yeah, our feelings are really hurt. Yeah, I'm crying. And haters never prosper except for sometimes.

Like right now. Yeah, you prosper now because. In our culture at large. We feel terrible. Yep. Look, nobody has to guess, so I'm just going to fucking tell you. It's time for a three-cher. What's a three-cher?

I'm going to tell you a three-cher is a game that we like to play, also known as a buster. And this one is submitted by Adam Nunez. We may have done this one before, and I hope we had a good time doing it. OK, I'm excited. It's called Ten Word Argument. It comes from the show Taskmaster. I was just thinking I need to start watching that show.

You do, Lauren. Okay, go ahead. You know what, wait two more days. Okay. Okay. That makes sense. Yeah, you have a weekend. That should be easy.

Okay. Here's how you play. Have an argument using 10 sentences of 10 words or less. You must end on a different four letter word each time. Have an argument of 10 sentences using 10 words or less. Have an argument using sentences of 10 words or less. Okay, so it could be two words, it could be three words. Yeah.

Well, don't swear because the Bible forbids it. It also says this whole thing about false idols, which I don't pay any attention to. You love false idols. I love them. I'm just, I'm carving them here. You love any, any farm animal made out of gold. Yep.

By the way, how stupid were those people? They made a statue out of gold and they worshiped it. Yeah. Here's mine. What was the plan? You got a bunch of gold. It's very valuable. Yeah. And now you're going to like start getting rid of some of that gold in order to make an ox. Were they just like, oh we fucked up. Does no one care that I'm literally holding a gold giraffe and you just didn't care? I don't care. I was holding it up. Is that gold or is it brass?

Well, it's not gold. Yeah. Maybe that's why nobody cares, dear. Okay. If you legitimately had a solid gold giraffe, we would care. Okay. Well, I'll work on getting that. Okay. What if Paul and I gave you a solid gold giraffe for Christmas? Can I pawn it? No. No.

That's the one condition. You have to worship it. If we ever find out you- I have to worship it? Yeah. If we ever find out you pawned it, we get to come over to your house and scare you really badly. And take four things.

Yeah. And anything, take four things. Yeah. And anything, any four things we want. Could be the baby. Could be equally valuable is what you're saying. Oh yeah, it could be like Rumpelstiltskin rules. Welcome back to the baby. Okay, I don't wanna do this. But what if we do?

If you give it to me, I won't pawn it. How about that? Well, you can. Okay. We'll take your babies. That's what I'm saying. I won't, I won't pawn it. How about that? Well, you can't take your babies. That's what I'm saying. I won't. I will follow the rules. Okay. Well, then good.

I'm glad. No, just that'll be that. Does anyone remember the game that I suggested? Okay. Well, I'll tell you what I know about it. Word argument. 10 word. You know about it, Scott.

Every sentence has to be 10 words or less. That's right. And then you have to and it has to end with a different four letter word. Yes. Every sentence has to end with a different four letter word. Just like what you just did. You ended with the word word. Isn't that delicious? How long does the argument go on? I guess till somebody's out.

Mm. Till somebody fucks up. If somebody goes over 10 words or if they repeat a four letter word or don't end with a four letter word. Yeah. This sounds very difficult, but I'm willing to try. Let's see. All right.

What should our argument be about? Oh, we have to come up with the topic beforehand. Why, you're a cuck? We don't. You can just start, I guess. I think we should just start. Okay. And. I can't.

Start. I can't believe you both. Us? What about you both. Us? What about you, you jerk? You think I'm as much to blame as yous? That's five. As yous guys?

Yous guys, okay, perfect. That was close. Yeah. Yeah, I think you are. You. Shit. Close one. Hey, let's watch our language.

Okay. Sure. But first things first, I am losing track of what I'm talking about. It's way too long. Yes. Yes, that's too long. That sounds fine. Oh, does it, Your Majesty?

Well. Can we address the elephant in the room? Sure. Go ahead, lady. You two robbed my cars, I thought money goes thar. Pirate rules apply. You thought my cars were a bank. Uh-oh, you repeated my word. Oh, I can't say your word.

You thought my cars were a bank, you dork. Yes, we thought it was a bank, dear. You should make your car look like a bank less. I like having those doors on my cars. Paint it blue. Guys, this is hard. It's hard. It's hard.

Paint it a color like blue. Paint my cars blue. Blue is nice. We're just going to end every sentence by calling each other something. I'm not German. So you ain't so good. Why do you say that, Paul? Why do I say what I said? Why do you talk like that?

Me talk weird. You think? Oh, this is... You have two more words. Dumb. I'm just worried about you and your head. Well, don't. Okay, I won't. Oh, fuck. Did you shit your pants again, sirs? What's wrong, babe?

I don't think you can use sirs. What did you say? I said, sirs this time, but I didn't say sirs. What did you say? I said sirs this time, but I didn't say it again. It was the first time. Yeah, you said it before. I used sirs before. I said guises and different things. I didn't say sirs.

That was new. But did you shit your pants again, sirs? Leave me out of this. They have a peculiar odor. Yeah, it's the odor of shit and piss. That's what I'm smelling. I'm like the rock. I thought you said you went to Iraq.

He didn't get better ears. These are the only ones that work. I said who burn? for saying that one to us about that. Because that is help. Help, help. What's wrong, doll? Doll. Well, tell him what's wrong. My pants.

Paul. Are still. P.O.L. Are still. Oh boy. How shall I say? Yuck. Yuck, yes.

Of course, there you haven't done anything to fix me. Okay. Um. Yuck. Yuck, yes. Of course, there you haven't done anything to fix it. Or them. Dumb ass hole. Oh, okay, hole. I've had it with the two of you imps. Maybe it's not a poop, it's just a toot. Trust me, it's a poop.

It's running down your legs. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha. Did we do it? I think we might've done it. I think so.

Wow. What an achievement. Well, that was really fun. This is some of the best podcasts. I enjoyed that. Since Adam Curry invented the medium. Yes. Thank you, Adam Curry. Thank you, Adam Curry. Please send us AI images of Adam Curry.

Send us AI images now. Do you want Adam Curry as Beetlejuice? Yeah, why not? He actually, he has a real Beetlejuice kind of thing. He honestly, he really does. He was the original Beetlejuice. I'm looking him up. Adam Curry? What do you mean the original Beetlejuice. I'm looking him up. Adam Curry? What do you mean the original Beetlejuice?

He just had like that prankster kind of vibe on MTV where you're like, this guy's like a proto Beetlejuice before Beetlejuice. He's 60 years old and he's still doing whatever he damn well pleases. Yeah, he invented podcasts. He should be able to. He invented podcasts? Supposedly. Yeah, he's given the credit for it.

Wow, how cool to have somebody who is known to have done that. Yeah. It feels like something that just kind of evolved out of, you know, I don't know. It's like I did it. I feel like we did it, but I guess I'm gonna have to give that title away. Sucks. It's like when you find out that the pasteurization was invented by a guy named Louis Pasteur. Well thankfully we won't have to worry about that anymore.

Now that everything is raw again, Mara. Oh by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, by the way, we hope you all enjoyed our Thanksgiving episode. Yes. Oh my gosh, I personally can't wait to hear it, of course, that gives way to this. We haven't heard it yet, ourselves. You've heard it, we haven't heard it as of this taping,

but we hope you all enjoyed it with our spouses. We're hoping perhaps to make it a yearly tradition if we still are doing the show. Yes, and if it doesn't suck when we hear it. Yeah. If we get really upset at everything they said about us, then we're going to put an end to this. I feel like that is my fear is that they turned it into a big slam fest.

They probably talked about all the things they hate about us. And they probably told about how much we snore. As a group. Yeah. It's like a real snore. As a group. Yeah. It's like a real snore. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I think you mean it's boring.

If you want to tell us how much you like us, as opposed to whatever our spouses said about us last week. That's right. You can send us an email at a place called hagclainsate.com. You don't send us an email there, dear. Sure you can. You write to us- In vocal form.

Bye. Bye. Bye. Hi, everyone. Gloria Riviera here, and we are back for another season of No One Is Coming to Save Us, a podcast about America's child care crisis. This season, we're delving deep into five critical issues facing our country through the lens of child care, poverty, mental health, housing, climate change, and the public school system. By exploring these connections, we aim to highlight that child care is not an isolated issue, but one that influences all facets of American life. Season 4 of No One is Coming to Save Us is out now wherever you get your podcasts.

Are you in bed by 10? Can you feel your hormones raging more than ever? Do you wake up every day wondering, is this it? Guess what? You're not alone. Welcome to My Soul Called Midlife, a weekly podcast hosted by me, Reshma Sajjani. On this show, we're going to expose the con we've been sold about middle age, figure out what the fuck we want from our lives, and how to get there.

We'll have help from guests like Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Supreme Court Justice Katanji Brown-Jackson, and Alana Glazer. You can listen to My So-Called Midlife ad-free on Amazon Music.
